I think I must have been in a different campground than the previous reviewers! Perhaps I have become too accustomed to campgrounds that truly cater to big rigs. The entrance to the park is a long dirt road that ends with a fairly steep hill up to the office area. I had called that morning to reserve a site and was told a reservation would not be necessary based upon my projected arrival time, and that there were plenty of pull throughs available. When we arrived on schedule, the park's owner commented that if he had a 40 foot motor home, he wouldn't go anywhere without a reservation, and I must have spoken to his son who was "too lazy" to make it. Oops! We were put in site 59, told we would not have to unhook our toad. Very tricky turns around trees, stupid us, should have unhooked anyway. Site was heavily wooded, 30 amp WSE, dirt, pull through, no grass for pets. One of my dogs cut her foot on glass when I walked her. Leaving early the next morning was also tricky for a big coach because there were cars parked in the roadway on the only way out. Perhaps there are other pull throughs on the other side of the park that are better suited to big rigs, but we did not see them. The long and short of it, if you driving the New York Thruway and want to stay at this park, be sure to make an advance reservation suitable for your coach! Located about 2 miles off I-87.

We have stayed here many times over the years. Staff (owners) are very friendly and always willing to help. Everything is well maintained. They do not accept seasonals which is a big plus for us. It is a very easy on/off the New York State Thruway with gas stations and plenty of places to eat around. We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Motorhome.Undo

Very pleasant CG in a wooded setting. Owners are very nice and pretty much run the place by themselves. Roads and sites are gravel and have a few rough spots but not too bad. We were shown to our site and it was easy to maneuver our 40' MH even with the toad attached. We had a pull-through and getting in and out was not a problem. The dense tree cover makes satellite reception difficult except probably in the spring before the leaves come out. There was free cable but we didn't bother with it. We were able to stream video on Verizon 4G without difficulty although we have a Wilson Sleek which I think made a difference here. The CG is an easy couple of miles from the interstate.

Nice Park! Very friendly people and nice facilities. As a "big rig" I was happy they had sites for 40' + and would highly recommend. I was in spot 35 and I wouldn't recommend that for beginners, of which I am. It's going to be hard to get out of this spot;, I will need some help. The wi-fi is good, the electrical service is fine, NYS water is nice, all good. The downside to me was that these spots are very close together. I know many RV parks are like this but that, and the difficulty of the pull-through being a true pull through, is the reason I rated this park an 8 and not a 9. For families with kids, I bet they would love all the facilities here for kids, it's really well set up for children. We are here at the beginning of the season and the leaves are just starting to show. It really is a beautiful park and one I will return to but I will be more careful about spot selection next time. Also, this is a popular park, make reservations early! We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Motorhome.Undo

This is a wooded and rustic campground. Staff goes out of their way to make your stay comfortable. We have been coming here for a number of years and love this campground. We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Motorhome.Undo

Like all KOAs, This park was overpriced. This is a rustic campground with large and small sites. We had a pull-through that was wide and long and quite level. The amenities are good, the staff is very nice. We were led to our site. Tall trees and woodland grounds, no clear view of the southern sky. A little below average campground.

Clean nice wooded park. Staff very nice and helpful. A lot of rain while we were ther and except for low areas dried out pretty quick. Would stay there again. We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

Mostly wooded so it did feel like a campground, not like parking in a field with no shade. Staff was pleasant. Didn't use the showers/restrooms, pool was clean and went from 3ft to 8ft deep which was nice so the whole family could enjoy. The only downside was the roads were very dusty. Few dump truck loads of gravel packed down would make it much nicer. We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Travel Trailer.Undo

We don't usually stay at KOAs because of the higher price, but most campgrounds/RV parks in New York close by Oct. 15th, so we didn't have a choice. This one is probably a bit "rougher" than most, since it's rather remote and not near any major attractions. Paid $41.95 for FHU. Good electric and water. Road going in was very steep. Tights turns inside...don't know how a really big rig would do here. We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Truck Camper.Undo

Park looked like the grass had not been mowed in weeks. They did not even move things to mow. Grass was very high under rental bikes. Store was filthy and dirty with very high priced merchandise. I would not camp here again. Sorry I tried it. Moving to another place tomorrow. We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

This campground to us was dusty and somewhat unkept. Never found the bathroom but did not need it, saw people walking all around looking to take a shower, not sure if they ever got to. Grass at our site was half way to our knees and the firepit was in the middle of the grass area. People seemed friendly enough but most likely would not return. With a little TLC I think this could be a great place. We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Travel Trailer.Undo

This excellent run KOA provides a great stopping point in or out of New England, via the I-87 to I-90 Corridor. The CG is located about 100 miles north of NYC, which is just about perfect for avoiding the madness and frantic rush hours you will find just a bit closer. the CG is only about two miles off the highway, on a good road in. Absolutely NO highway noise, seems you are many miles into the sticks. The CG is set in very tall impressive straight shady pines, which provide for an interesting "in the woods feel and effect". Excellent reception and staff, was escorted to site. All connections at site were excellent. Bathrooms and showers older, but very clean and useable. Pool looked nice. Wi-Fi free and strong. Loved the outside large SS Dish Washing station - cool! (Wish more places had that.) All in all, this is a perfect KOA to spend a few days at, or just as an overnight lay-over, on your way in or out of the New England area. Safe and comfortable, run by caring intelligent folks who live on location. Great. I'll be back! Rating: 10 We camped at Saugerties / Woodstock KOA in a Travel Trailer.Undo

Interesting, not as nice as other KOA's we have been to, dusty roads, Sat night entertainment was over at 8:30 so we missed it, pool it tiny. They warn you of killer squirrels or food thief squirrels. Most likely would not go back. Old trailers at the entrance, grass needed to be cut badly. In general the place needed a good cleaning.

Date of Stay: July, 2012 - $38.00
This is a repeat stay for us, as it is located conveniently between home and our final destination. As always, the owners are extremely friendly and helpful, and appeared when we pulled in late (having called ahead) to help us settle on our site. Since we were there last summer they have redone the entrance driveway and it is no longer muddy and rutted. The sites are fairly close together but the pull throughs are sufficient for our 30' trailer and dually truck. It still would not be a destination for us, but it's a fine place for an overnight.

I love that Team Support is a "one stop shop" for many different facets of support. From this one application we can manage all our email support requests, chat with other reps about tickets, pull meaningful reports about our support volume AND now we have integrated customer support Chat. They are also always enhancing their product to make our jobs easier. A new one I like is the metric reporting of each customer's CDI rating (how much support have they needed lately? It means you should look closer at this client and their needs.)
Some of the reporting and sorting features still need improvement to be most usable. For example, when you search by ticket tag I'd love to be able to preview a result before clicking on it AND if I do click on it, then return to results, I'd like them to remain sorted to just the tag I wanted to look at. Also, if there is more than one contact with the same name in the same customer account, I'd like to be able to differentiate between which one I'm looking at when adding the contact to the ticket. These are small things compared to the many benefits of the system, though!
Before using Team Support my company relied on a shared email address and split up tickets according to timed shifts (one person ends at 11:59 and another begins at 12:00.) Luckily, when I came to my company they had already been using Team Support for 1 year. More recently, the integrated customer Chat feature with great response from our clients. We only see this improving our support quality as we can help customers with quicker support needs immediately.
Team Support is customizable for your needs, and not difficult to navigate. I have found the Help Center VERY helpful. I prefer watching tutorials and Team Support has an abundance of easy to follow reviews separated into categories for easy access. I am still learning the software, but it is entirely reasonable to be generally trained just by using their guides and tutorials. I like the simplicity of their tabs and pages and the customizable features.
I found that accessing the dashboard to quick link to the tutorials is not directed easily from the home page. There is a tab for help, but it does not take you to the dashboard which is much easier to read in my opinion. It would help to make a new hire training module perhaps!
I am wondering if tickets could be customized to be color coded. It would help with visual needs within our company. It could be an optional attribute to tickets. Urgent could be Red, High could be yellow etc.
This is a great product for veteran CSR's and newbies!
I am in the process of training to be a CSR and this product is the primary application that I will be dealing with. I like that it is fast and fairly easy to take care of tickets. We get a great deal of customer calls and tickets in a day and the organization of tickets is nice.
I like that I can easily manage my tickets and keep up with my clients. Also we recently started experimenting with the dashboards and I think it is cool how you can edit those and customize them to fit your view. The storing of customers is also a really nice feature so that I can attach the customer with all their information to the ticket. I like the auto reply feature where I can set up different messages for different types of tickets as well.
I dislike how the wiki has several pop out screens making it a little hard to read and that you can only sort one column at a time. Sometimes I want to sort all of my tickets of a certain type and then by the age of the ticket. I wish the popup with phone numbers stayed up longer so that I could dial the number completely without trying to play hide and go seek with the popup. I would really enjoy an area where you can upload videos or something in the knowledge base instead of just words and a few images.
Use the dashboards! They are super customizable and easy to use!
We are able solving issues for clients using our software. TeamSupport makes it easy to keep up with individual clients as well as their organizations and all their issues. It allows monitoring of temperature/happiness of client, total counts, and so much more!!
I love how easy Team Support is to use! The features are very simple and it helps to keep me updated with all the outstanding tickets I am working on.
I like that you can look at the summary on a ticket an see who has done what, even if they do not leave a note.
I like the emails that notify all parties about updates on the tickets.
I like the additional fields that we have customized to be able to assign to other users, flag it urgent, etc.
I would like to see it easier to organize my views of all the tickets. Sometimes, it gets a little confusing. However, that being said ~ it is still very useful and gets the job done!
The delay between updating what you put on the ticket (sending out the email notification) could be faster. Sometimes I feel like I wait forever, even though it is a few minutes.
Make sure that you are utilizing the project to your best ability. Get recommendations from the support at Team Support! It will blow your mind what this product can do!
We use team support to help move tickets through different departments for both internal issues & issues that our clients are having. Since we all have access, it is great to be able to see what others have done on the ticket based on notes they have put in.
The end-user GUI is clean, user-friendly and intuitive, allowing the end-user to quickly learn how to not only utilize the product, but also master the efficiency tools available. Managers are able to easily create and add reports to their dashboard to bring critical organizational information to their sight, and thus facilitating their ability to stay abreast of employee activity and performance.
I have not yet experienced any dislikes.
We have put TeamSupport to work in all divisions of our software development company, from the onset of a new contract we are able to track the delivery, implementation and training processes. User-defined fields assist us in tracking billable hours and facilitate our monthly revenue recognition process. Using the ticketing process to log and track support issues allows our entire employee base to have sight to customers issues and thereby allowing any employee to provide assistance to the customer through the life of the ticket, thus enabling us to grow our customer base without a direct growth in our overhead. Further, we established a ticket movement mechanism to maintain tracking of change requests throughout the development cycle. Full company benefits with a single solution!

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett is pushing for a change in state law that would allow school districts to furlough teachers for financial reasons. That same legislation, which won approval from a House Education Committee, also would require decisions on which teachers to furlough to be based on performance evaluations. Seniority only would be considered if teachers rank the same under the evaluations.

I have been pondering the thought of a AR10 for some time. I won't something in .308 that is accurate and similar to the AR platform. I was just looking at the SR25. Anyone have any experience with this gun? Just wonting to know if its worth the time to consider.
Also any recommend model? I will need at least a 20" barrel. Accuracy and reliability is a must I also plan to adda suppresser at some point.

I have a lot of experience with this weapon. I learned to shoot long range with an SF team while deployed to Iraq. I really like this gun and enjoyed shooting it. The SR25 I shot had a fixed 10 power Leupold optic. We were shooting at targets between 500 and 800 meters and knocking them down every time.
The SR25 is just a camo'd DPMS LR-308. It's a good rifle,but the trigger really sucks and would need to be up-graded off the bat.
I've enjoyed my LR-260,it has been a very good rifle.I'm still trying to find the perfect load for it,but it shoots pretty good so far.
I have a DPMS LR-308 that I horse traded for (1919 year mod 94 Winchester in average shape, and the guy tossed in 1,000 rounds of ammo) We were both happy with our trades. I still have a boat load of Winchesters, but I wanted an AR10.
I have 4 other AR riffles, and this big boy is my favorite. It is a tack driver at typical AR ranges, and going out to extremes my other AR's can't do, the LR-308 does well enough to terminate whatever you are aiming at.
I read some people do not care for DPMS for whatever their (IMHO) trivial reasons are, but for the $1,200 ish price they sell them for at Scheels box store (usually sold out these days) I feel they are a great bargain. If you can do a horse trade like I did (had $200 in the Winchester) even better.
Some DPMS 308s do not have a dust cover over the bolt. That is an option I believe. Mine does not have one. Neither do any of my bolt action riffles, and they work fine. I do not plan on sleeping in muddy creeks like Arnold did in Predator. Lol.
Dollar for dollar, I like my LR-308 better than I do any of my other ARs, including my Colt. In fact, I have two DPMS riffles, and both serve me well.
I too have a DPMS LR308-AP4. Absolutely wonderful rifle, Totally reliable, insanely accurate, and very light and ergo.
But it's not an SR25.
My DPMS is a pickup truck, and the SR25 is a Lambhorgini.

High standards, adaptability, variety mark Sandeen Insurance's 100 years
Ask Meme Fehr, her husband John and her mom Kay Sandeen about what's set the family insurance agency apart for a century, and the first thing they talk about is high standards.
"It's a reputation of honesty and integrity," agency Vice President John Fehr said in a weekend interview at Sandeen Insurance's downtown Hudson office. "You have to have both or you won't make it for 100 years."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
North Korea launches all-out threat offensive
WASHINGTON -- If you're having a hard time keeping track of the multitude of threats issued by North Korea in the last few weeks, you're not alone: Kim Jong Un's young regime is on a seemingly endless tear of warnings and provocations.
From threats of a nuclear holocaust to artillery strikes near disputed borders, here are the latest shots across the bow from the Hermit Kingdom, beginning with those that followed international sanctions over Pyongyang's third nuclear test in February:
1. We now have "lighter and smaller" nukes, and we're not afraid to use them against the United States.
2. Are you ready for the silent treatment? We just cut our military hotline with South Korea.
3. We also just tore up all previous non-aggression pacts with South Korea.
4. In response to these UN sanctions, we're going to "exercise the right to a pre-emptive nuclear attack."
5. We're ready for "all-out war."
6. We just invalidated the 1953 armistice, so anything's fair game.
7. Seriously, that armistice agreement has been invalidated.
8. Now we're sharply increasing the number of training flights for our fighter-jets.
9. Not impressed? How about we turn South Korea's Baengyeong Island into a "sea of fire?"
10. Now we're conducting live-fire drills near a disputed maritime border.
11. Just FYI, our military personnel are standing by to "annihilate the U.S. imperialist aggressors."
12. At this very moment, all of our citizens are singing a song about wiping out the "U.S. imperialists."
13. We're so serious about going to war that we conducted a practice drone strike.
14. That's it: We're conducting air-raid drills.
15. We will order "strong military counter-action" if the U.S. conducts more B-52 bomber sorties.
16. Seriously, we'll destroy your military bases in Japan and Guam if you fly one more B-52 bomber around here.
To be continued.

Access to Google Inc. 's Vietnam website was disrupted briefly Monday, the company said, with some users redirected to a website appearing to sell a service used for cyberattacks.
"For a short period today, some people had trouble connecting to google.com.vn, or were being directed to a different website," a Google spokesman said. "We've been in contact with the organization responsible for managing this domain name and the issue should be resolved."
The spokesman stressed that users' searches and Google services, like Gmail, weren't compromised. Users within Vietnam reported that service disruption lasted several hours.
In an apparent hijacking of domain name system servers, which act as virtual address books and help direct Internet traffic, users who tried to visit Google's Vietnam site were sent to the website, which showed a man facing a mirror taking a photo of himself with an iPhone.
By Me Today: Google Capital's Coming to India
More evidence of global investors' growing interest in India's startups: Google's new investment arm is setting up shop in the country.
In what will mark the first such expansion outside the U.S., Google Capital — a wing of the tech giant that invests in mid-stage technology companies — is interviewing candidates for a position to lead their efforts in the populous nation.
"It makes a lot of sense to focus on India right now," Google Capital partner David Lawee told The Wall Street Journal. He noted that the country of 1.2 billion recently surpassed the U.S. in terms of its number of Internet users, and that local entrepreneurs "are responding" with "innovative" offerings for the domestic market and thinking about global growth, as well.
By Me Yesterday: Google Street View Comes to Bangladesh
The newest country available on Google Street View: Bangladesh.
The tech titan on Thursday unveiled 360-degree panoramic images of streets around the teeming capital, Dhaka, the port city of Chittagong and dozens of other locations in the densely populated country sandwiched between India and Myanmar.
Bangladesh, home to some 150 million people, is the 65th nation for which the Google Maps feature is available.

Google Inc. today officially unveiled its new Street View service for Thailand, releasing online a vast collection of panoramic street-level images of the country.
That means that anyone with a Web connection can now view high resolution photos of everything from Bangkok street food stalls to the ornate spires of the city's Grand Palace. There are also images of the northern city of Chiang Mai and the southern beach resort of Phuket.

A few non-Thailand links
Here are a few non-Thailand related links that I wanted to pass along, just quickly, before the week comes to a close:
- "How Google Can Help Newspapers," by Google CEO Eric Schmidt. And some commentary from Snarkmarket.
- "Shades of Meaning," an NYT review of Asterios Polyp, a graphic novel by David Mazzucchelli. Not (all that) new, but new to me.
- More NYT: the Goal blog has a Q. & A. With Simon Kuper, Author of "Soccernomics". The book's subtitle: "Why England Lose, Why Germany and Brazil Win, and Why the U.S., Japan, Australia, Turkey — and Even India — Are Destined to Become the New Kings of the World's Most Popular Sport."
That's it. See you next week.
Google Maps Thailand expands functionality
As this Youtube video (embedded below) explains, Google Maps Thailand now incorporates data from Bangkok's public transport organizations and suggests modes of transport other than driving.
I can't verify it yet, but the new functionality should allow users to get walking, driving, and mass transit directions to various destinations in the Thai capital.
CNNGo has more info. Those who read Thai should be able to see the new features in action at maps.google.co.th.
Google translate: now in Thai
Thanks to the eagle-eyed B for pointing out that Google Translate is now available in Thai. More info on Google Translate is here.

As the year comes to a close, it's time to look at the big events, memorable moments and emerging trends that captivated us in 2008. As it happens, studying the aggregation of the billions of search queries that people type into the Google search box gives us a glimpse into the zeitgeist — the spirit of the times.

— WSJ: "Asia's Tourism: Boon and Bane: Low-Cost Countries With Popular Spots Better Off Than Others"2
Recession in major economies around the world has hit Southeast Asia's pivotal tourism industry, but increased domestic and regional travel by cash-squeezed travelers based in Asia means some countries will be hurt less than others.
Governments around the region are cutting forecasts for income as both long-haul tourists and business travelers get increasingly cost-conscious. That is a problem because tourism accounts for a hefty 6% or more of most economies in Southeast Asia.
Still, some low-cost countries with attractive tourist spots and large homegrown populations should lose out less.

What are some of your writing habits? Do you use a desk? Do you write on a machine?
I am a completely horizontal author. I can't think unless I'm lying down, either in bed or stretched on a couch and with a cigarette and coffee handy. I've got to be puffing and sipping. As the afternoon wears on, I shift from coffee to mint tea to sherry to martinis. No, I don't use a typewriter. Not in the beginning. I write my first version in longhand (pencil). Then I do a complete revision, also in longhand. Essentially I think of myself as a stylist, and stylists can become notoriously obsessed with the placing of a comma, the weight of a semicolon. Obsessions of this sort, and the time I take over them, irritate me beyond endurance.

— An interesting motorcycle story from the New York Times's Handlebars section: "To Attract New Riders, Motorcycles Go Shiftless": 4
Car sales, already in a deep funk, would probably be slower yet if automakers decided to offer no alternative to manual transmissions.
Makers of street motorcycles have largely painted themselves into that corner. And with the effects of stalled credit markets flattening out a 14-year streak of steady growth — despite the allure of good gas mileage in a wobbly economy — it's no surprise that manufacturers are mounting an effort to introduce more rider-friendly bikes.
Makers as big as Honda, the world's largest, and as specialized as Aprilia, a style-centric Italian brand, are working to eliminate the perceived obstacles of shifting gears and mastering a clutch with new models that let riders simply gas it and go.

- There's this about Thailand, which should come as no surprise: "Tourism in Thailand, which in 2007 had 14.8 million visitors, naturally is getting seriously impacted by political unrest that for the past week severed Bangkok's busy air links with the world. While the city's two airports are now expected to be functioning normally by Friday, the way hundreds of thousands of people have been stranded or inconvenienced by the shutdowns will have a lingering impact on tourist numbers. Dozens of countries have issued warnings to avoid traveling to Thailand." [↩]
- One of my favorite Capote passages, from The Grass Harp: "Below the hill grows a field of high Indian grass that changes color with the season: go see it in the fall, late September, when it has gone red as sunset, when scarlet shadows like firelight breeze over it and the autumn winds strum on its dry leaves sighing human music, a harp of voices." [↩]
- A thought: does the barrier to entry presented by the fact that large motorcycles require their operators to understand how to use a clutch and shift gears keep unqualified/unsafe drivers off the road? [↩]
StateStats: Analyzing Google search patterns
Now that the airports have re-opened here in Thailand1, I wanted to point out an intriguing tool: StateStats.
The site allows you to compare Google search patters for various US states; the terms are also linked with other demographic data2
Some search terms that caught my eye include:
Thailand (popular in Hawaii)
Thai cuisine (big on the west coast)
In searching for Southern food, I noticed that fried chicken is a popular search term in the south, as is pecan pie. And it's no surprise to note that South Carolina is the clear winner in searches for grits, shrimp and grits, and Frogmore stew3. On the other hand, vegan is a popular query in Oregon and Vermont.
Media and the Internet
The Wire is a popular search term in Maryland (the show is based in Baltimore), while Sopranos is big in New Jersey, New York, and surrounding states. Various Web/tech-related search terms, meanwhile, are especially popular in the West and in New York. Twitter is big in the Pacific region, in New England, and in Texas (though the more generic microblogging is huge in California, as is WordPress); Flickr is big on the West coast and in New York; and Tumblr is especially popular in New York.
Other terms worth a look: Soccer is a popular term in the Northeast, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are both popular terms in California and Virginia. And in other long-running football (soccer) derbies, Virginia is also prominent: check out River Plate and Boca Juniors.
Dogs are big in the south and mid-west, while cats are extremely popular in New Hampshire. Saab is also a popular term in New England, while Volvo is a popular query on both coasts.
Searches for some of the Andean nations reflect an interesting pattern: Bolivia is a popular term in Virginia and Florida, while Ecuador is big in New York and the mid-Atlantic. (New York is home to many Ecuadorian immigrants.)
And, last but not least, Newley (pictured above) is a popular search term in New York, Texas, and California.4
(StateStats link via Kottke, where you can find a list of other revealing queries.)
- The latest news from Bangkok: The revered Thai King — the world's longest reigning monarch — failed to deliver his annual birthday eve speech on Thursday. There was a huge amount of anticipation regarding his remarks, as he was expected to weigh in on the ongoing Bangkok protests. The King, who turned 81 yesterday, was apparently too ill to speak. And yesterday, exiled prime minster Thaksin Shinawatra's ex-wife returned to the country. For an overview of the situation in Thailand, I suggest this recent AP story: "Travelers leave behind a Thailand still in crisis" [↩]
- But take the demographic info with a grain of salt. From the site: "Be careful drawing conclusions from this data. For example, the fact that walmart shows a moderate correlation with "Obesity" does not imply that people who search for 'walmart' are obese! It only means that states with a high obesity rate tend to have a high rate of users searching for walmart, and vice versa…" [↩]
- Here's more info on Frogmore Stew. [↩]
- I suspect that these are not searches for newley.com, but for Anthony Newley. Or perhaps they're misspellings of the adverb newly. [↩]

DAYTON, Ohio — The Obama campaign is counting on the auto-industry bailout to carry the president to a victory in Ohio, but it ultimately may hold little sway with voters across the state who are still out of work and struggling to stay solvent.
The bailout package undoubtedly saved thousands of jobs in places such as Lordstown, Toledo and elsewhere, but in Ohio as a whole, a weak economy and poor job prospects trump the car company rescue.
For voters like Rick and Jared Sargent, the bailout is of secondary importance, while prolonged periods of unemployment drove their decisions to support Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Mr. Obama "has destroyed this country in the last year. His whole campaign slogan is 'forward,' but for the last four years my family has just gone backward," said Jared Sargent, 21, of Dayton, just after he and his father cast early votes for Mr. Romney.
"I've been out of work. ... I can't find a job making more than $8 an hour," he said. "I'm terrified. If this country keeps going the way it's been going, I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this world."
Like many Ohioans, the Sargents felt the repercussions of the U.S. auto industry's troubles four years ago, but saw none of the benefits of the bailout. Jared Sargent said his mother was laid off in 2009 from a manufacturing job related to the car industry, a job that was eliminated after General Motors Co. closed its massive facility in nearby Moraine.
Since then, she has struggled to find a job, while her husband, Rick, battles health problems and also remains unemployed.
"His record has shown what it's shown," Rick Sargent said of Mr. Obama, as he and Jared sat at a picnic table in downtown Dayton.
"These deficits have got me scared to death," he said, speaking in hushed tones, while his son spoke of the family's continued struggle to find work with a mixture of anger and sorrow.
Even the president's supporters think the auto rescue will take his re-election effort only so far, and that the job market in parts of Ohio remains stagnant.
"I can't say that [the auto bailout] did much around here. It may have been good for people in other parts of the country, but not so much here," said Elay Lewis III, 38, of Dayton, a former GM employee who also lost his job after the Moraine plant was shuttered. He cast a vote for Mr. Obama on Wednesday morning, but said the economy has shown him little signs of improvement.
"I do whatever I can to pay the bills," he said, detailing how he holds down temporary, part-time jobs as a security guard and freelance musician. "Compared to what I was making at GM, now I'm probably making one-third of that."
Similar stories of hardship can be found throughout Ohio, but there are also many instances of jobs saved through the administration's continuation of the auto bailout, which began during the Bush administration. An estimated 850,000 Ohio jobs are tied to the car industry, many of which likely would have disappeared if GM and Chrysler LLC went out of business for good.
The Obama camp has latched onto that narrative and continues to tout the auto rescue throughout the state, promoting it in commercials and during campaign stops. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, has done the same, positioning himself as a strong supporter of the bailout and therefore responsible for saving tens of thousands of Ohio jobs.
Both campaigns are focusing hard on Ohio as the state that could decide the election. All four men at the top of the two national tickets were in Ohio for at least part of the day, either Wednesday or Thursday.
Polling numbers in the past two weeks show the presidential race in Ohio exceedingly close. The Real Clear Politics poll average had Mr. Obama ahead by 2.1 percentage points — 47.9 percent to 45.8 percent. Although the momentum has been with Mr. Romney since late September, several surveys have shown Mr. Obama with a slight or statistically insignificant lead while none has done the same for the Republican hopeful.
However, a survey last week by the Democrat-leaning Public Policy Polling firm suggests that the auto bailout issue isn't hurting Mr. Romney much. In the poll of 532 likely Ohio voters, the respondents said they trusted Mr. Romney more on the economy, by a margin of 51 percent to 47 percent. The survey had Mr. Obama maintaining an overall lead of 49 percent to 48 percent.
When asked in surveys, Ohio voters follow the rest of the nation in consistently naming the economy in general as the top issue. A CBS poll from late August, for example, cited 59 percent of Ohio voters as calling the economy "extremely important" in determining their vote, with only health care among other issues managing to top 45 percent.
Still, Mr. Obama has used the auto issue to disparage Mr. Romney, saying that if the Republican had gotten his way, the U.S. car industry would have crumbled.
"If we had taken your advice, Gov. Romney, about our auto industry, we'd be buying cars from China instead of selling cars to China," Mr. Obama said at Monday's third and final presidential debate.
In making the charge, the Obama campaign typically cites a November 2008 op-ed in the New York Times headlined "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt."
In it, Mr. Romney wrote that he favored a "managed bankruptcy" that would give Detroit a "path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs." This was more or less what eventually happened — GM and Chrysler did go bankrupt and restructured, albeit under government auspices. Contrary to what Mr. Obama has said, Mr. Romney never proposed the liquidation of GM or Chrysler.
Mr. Romney didn't mention the auto rescue during a campaign stop in Cincinnati on Thursday, but his campaign continues to push back against the president. Mr. Romney's Ohio campaign manager, Scott Jennings, pointed to Ohioans — like the Sargents and Mr. Lewis — who got the short end of the stick as a result of the bailout.
"The fact is Obama picked winners and losers inside this deal — and many Ohioans were on the losing end. Delphi retirees lost their pensions. Many dealerships closed. And now we hear Jeep is thinking of moving production from Toledo to China," Mr. Jennings said. "Mitt Romney is a car guy, a son of Detroit. To argue he would do anything other than help support American automakers is just ridiculous."
The two campaigns' sparring over the bailout may be good action for political pundits, but the average Ohio voter is instead looking at the economy as a whole, and that is driving many of them to Mr. Romney.
Judy Gierl, a community volunteer from Cincinnati, said she voted for Mr. Obama in 2008 and still agrees with him on many social issues, yet can't support his re-election.
"I think he's a great guy, but the economy is the most important issue to me, and I've been disappointed on the economy," she said Thursday morning as she stood outside the Romney rally in Cincinnati.

Peter Corlett
|Birth date:
|Birth place:
|Australia: Victoria, Melbourne
Peter Corlett was born in Melbourne in 1944. He studied sculpture at RMIT from 1961to 1964. In 1975, he was awarded a special projects grant from the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council. In 1977, he was artist in residence at the Darwin Community College, and between 1977 and 1980 was artist in residence at the Exeter University and Exeter College of Art. His works are represented in the collections at museums and art galleries of the Northern Territory, National Gallery of Victoria, Parliament House, Museum of Victoria and many colleges and universities.
Corlett was commissioned to produce several commemorative sculptures for the Memorial in recent years.
In 1987, Corlett was the winner of a competition to design a memorial to commemorate the courage and compassion of John Simpson Kirkpatrick, an enduring symbol of the sacrifices made by all Australian soldiers who served in the First World War.
His finely modelled, realistic portrayal of Simpson relieving the suffering of soldiers on Gallipoli celebrates the humanity of ordinary people, emphasising the drama of Simpson's simple act of compassion. The wounded man, mounted on the donkey, powerfully portrays mixed feelings of anxiety, tension and obvious dependence. His pain is well expressed through the tension in his arms and legs. Simpson walking beside the donkey conveys calm, resolve and compassion.
Corlett also won the design competition to produce the commemorative sculpture of Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop, which was unveiled in 1995. It symbolises the sacrifice of all Australian doctors and medical staff who served Australian prisoners of war in the Asia Pacific between 1939-1945. Other works in the Memorial's collection include The man in the mud (in the Western Front Gallery), They also served, (Two WRANS 1941-1985), on display in the Second World War Gallery, and the maquette for Simpson and his donkey, 1915.

"So enjoyable and relaxing"
No, but he is great. Excellent job of change of voice as well as being able to put "personality" into the characters. Best I've listened to.
I Did
"Slow Starter - But Good Ending"
I started to get impatient with the story; but stuck it out. Glad I did.
"Difficult to Start"
Gabe... but... This guy never seemed to shower or have any personal hygiene. There were references to opportunities to clear this up. By the end I was repelled by the character. ???
This was very difficult to get into. The narrator at times was completely monotone. I had hoped this was for effect; but nope. I like the story a lot however. A different narrator would make this a terrific listen.
"I liked the Narrator/Good STory"
Yes... the idea of 2 bad guys... well ... it did leave me guessing for a long time
When the good guy was revealed as the "good guy."
"Narrator Ruined Story for me"
This would be ranked 3rd
Different narrator. Dick Hill made all characters sound the same. No difference in voice
When Joe went into the dryer to hide as he did as a child.
I will not purchase any book that Dick Hill narrates. Just too bad.
"I Could Not Stop Until I Finished It"
How he wrote Alex. The character was better than I thought she would be.
I Did
At the half way point the story really picked up. I almost gave up, but the Alex character had me hooked. Glad I stuck with it.
"Not Sure At First"
it was slow at first. I still wanted to go on and listen. I was glad I did. A "nice" story. I was entertained.
"Loved It"
Suspense, fascinating and riveting
I was so absorbed in this story, that while I was working around the house I finished in a record time. WOW. I will read more of her books ASAP. Many books in my wish list. Really good.
"Great Read"
Yes, characters well developed and a story that seemed so real
Bosh - He seemed real
No, but I like him
Oh Yes!!!! I did. Stayed up until 2 a.m. to finish it.
I have several Michael Connelly books in my wish list.
"Good Story, But..."
Yes, good cop story
Wade's "tricks" to use instead of his gun
Just an average job
The narrator got a little on my nerves. The said: "Wade said" or " Charlie said." Too loud, could have used a better, softer tone.

Oklahoma does not license residential construction contractors, except in the electrical, mechanical, and plumbing trades. There are some special requirements for nonresident contractors.
Specialty contractors must pass a trade exam to become licensed in Oklahoma.
Although residential contractors are not required to carry general liability or workers' compensation insurance, it is a good idea to hire only contractors with active policies for each. Request a copy insurance certificate for each form of insurance before any work begins.
Specialty contractors in Oklahoma are required to obtain a surety bond.
The BuildZoom score is based on a number of factors including the contractor's license status, insurance status, verified work history, standing with local consumer interest groups, verified reviews from other BuildZoom users and self-reported feedback from the contractor.
When it comes to major construction work or even minor alterations to your home, hiring the wrong contractor could result in incomplete or defective work. You may even find yourself dealing with huge liability claims. BuildZoom does the homework for you and helps you hire the right contractor.
Before hiring a contractor in Oklahoma, be sure to get at least 3 detailed bids. Quality contractors will take the time to explain their budget proposal, and help guide you through the estimate process. Be wary of an abnormally low bid, they are not worth the risk. These underpriced projects often do not end well for the homeowner, choose a contractor you trust and can clearly communicate with. BuildZoom has made the bid collection process extremely simple (and free). Just click here to get started.

PHOTOS: Great season by Mitey Mites, Midgets
The Ellwood City Little Wolverines mitey mite and midget teams both fell to their respective opponents at Geneva College Saturday afternoon in the WPYFL championship games.
The mitey mites ran into a hot Beaver Little Bobcats team, who took to the ground attack in a 26-0 victory over the Little Wolverines. Ellwood City defeated Beaver earlier in the season, 14-6, which catalyzed a six-game winning streak heading into the title game. Overall, the Little Wolverines finished as the runners-up with only three losses on the season (7-3).
The midgets, who dominated the regular season in every facet, also faced a formidable opponent in the Hopewell Vikings. The Little Wolverines edged Hopewell, 8-0, earlier in the season. The Little Vikings collected their third consecutive title in an overtime thriller, 19-18. The Little Wolverines scored in overtime, then missed their extra point. Hopewell scored, and ended the game by converting on their extra point opportunity. Ellwood City finished the season as the runner-up with only one loss (9-1), giving up a mere 39 points total in those ten contests.
Congratulations to both teams on incredible seasons!
Senior night for Ellwood City
The Ellwood City Wolverines came up short last week, and fell from the 2014 playoff race.
However, the season is not yet over as the seniors – football players, cheerleaders, and band members – still have work left to do. The Wolverines host the Beaver Bobcats tonight in their final game of the season, and, for the seniors, their Ellwood City careers.
With a win, Ellwood City will finish the season at 5-4 overall and 4-4 in the Midwestern Athletic Conference. The Bobcats punched their ticket to the playoffs, but can advance their position with a win or tie, along with a loss by Beaver Falls to Aliquippa.
Kick-off for tonight's contest at Helling Stadium is at 7 p.m. Go and cheer on the seniors as they give one final performance after four years in front of the Friday night crowd.
EC Mighty Mites and Midgets to play in title games
On Saturday, Oct. 25, two Ellwood City Little Wolverines football teams will play for the Western Pennsylvania Youth Football League championships at Geneva College.
The mitey mites squad (7-2), led by head coach Don Lutz, squares off against the Beaver Bobcats (8-2) for an 11 a.m. match-up at Reeves Stadium. The team finished the season by shutting out both the Monaca Warriors and the Cornell Raiders by a combined score of 78-0. Beaver lost to Hopewell Vikings and Ellwood City during the regular season. It avenged its first loss by eliminating the Vikings in last Saturday's playoff game to earn a championship berth. Ellwood City aims to hold the Bobcats, who surrendered only 12 points in six consecutive wins going into the contest.
The Wolverines defeated Beaver 14-6 on Sept. 6.
The Ellwood City midget team (9-0), coached by Brad Welsh, stormed through the regular season by dominating every contest and will meet the Hopewell Vikings (9-1) at 1 p.m. at Reeves Field. It allowed 12 points in its first game of the season to Cornell, then shut the next eight teams out. The Wolverines scored 68 points twice, and 87 once, during that stretch, and outscored opponents 455-12 overall — an average of nearly 51 points-per-game. The only team that came close to defeating Ellwood City, Hopewell, stands in the way of its perfect season. The Vikings similarly dominated teams en route to the championship game, including a 44-6 playoff victory against Beaver last weekend.
The Wolverines defeated Hopewell 8-0 on Sept. 14.

Three times a charm: Riverside earns third straight title
A fourth-down-and-inches stop with eight seconds to play ensured a third consecutive Tri-County Championship on Wednesday night for John Severn's Riverside Middle School football team. Strong defense and a couple of big runs gave the Panthers a 14-8 victory against the Mohawk Warriors at Riverside Memorial Stadium.
The Mohawk squad held a considerable size advantage on its offensive line, which produced a powerful running attack that put together a solid scoring drive early. The quick touchdown, capped off by a two-point conversion, would be the last for the Warriors. Riverside answered on its second drive of the contest as Ty Baker broke free for his first of two touchdowns. The Panthers added a two-point conversion to tie the game at 8-8. With only seconds to play in the first half, Riverside thought it took the lead with a long touchdown pass reception to LeMarcus Cleckley, but a flag on the field negated the score and the teams remained knotted up heading into halftime.
"The scoring dried up in the second quarter," Severn added.
The third quarter also produced no points for either side, but halfway through the fourth, the Panthers stuck from long distance. Riverside running back Ty Baker broke free of several tackles and charged his way to the end zone from 60-plus yards out to put his team up 14-8 with nearly five minutes remaining in the game .
"The run was sprung by superb blocking off the left side of the line [from] (Eli) Schweiger, (Jarrett) Speer, [and] (Michael) Brosenitsch, with (LeMarcus) Cleckley and (Gerard) Rippy coming out of the backfield," Severn explained. "Baker shrugged off multiple tackles before pulling away. "
The Panthers missed the two-point conversion after Baker's second score of the evening, which left Mohawk with one last opportunity to take the game.
The Warriors threatened late with a strong drive that ended abruptly at the Panthers' 5-yard-line when defensive coordinator Dave Piecuch's defense, which remained solid throughout the contest, capped off the undefeated season with a fourth-and-inches stop.
"The defense turned in a stellar performance," Severn said. "[They] stopped Mohawk on the opening drive of the second half. [We] controlled the clock in the third quarter by marching the ball down field before stalling out inside the Mohawk 10-yard-line. [Then,] the defense got another critical stop on the ensuing drive to set up a game-winning touchdown run, [and] came up with yet another stop on fourth down and inches with eight seconds remaining to seal the victory."
Riverside finished the season with six wins and two ties. For the second consecutive year, the Panthers defeated a team in the title game that they failed to defeat in the regular season. On Oct. 15, the squads played to a 6-6 tie.
RHS middle school football aims for 3-peat
Tonight, the Riverside Middle School Panthers (5-0-2) will host the Mohawk Warriors (5-1-1) at Riverside Memorial Stadium in the Tri-County Championship game. A win for the Panthers will mark a third consecutive title.
For a second straight year, Riverside will play a team that they failed to defeat in the regular season. The Panthers avenged their only loss by defeating the Laurel Spartans in the 2013 title game. Earlier this season, Mohawk and Riverside played to a 6-6 tie, which left both teams with unfinished business. The difference between that game and tonight's is that one team will obtain resolve.
Proceeds from the game will be put towards college scholarships in the tri-county area. Tickets are $4 for adults and $2 for students. Kick-off is at 7 p.m.
PHOTOS: Sophomores, juniors win on EC Powderpuff weekend
Last Saturday, Lincoln High School hosted a set of football games at Helling Stadium that had no playoff implications. However, pride and charity were on the line.
In the 4 p.m. game, the Sophomore powderpuff team offered the Freshman squad a similar welcome to powderpuff football that it was given a year ago in a 50-8 loss to the current Junior team. Maddie Morella and Taylor Petrak both found the end zone, while Erika Wally added a field goal to boost the Sophomores to victory over the Freshman girls, 25-16. Alexis Casuccio and Danica Teodoro scored for the Freshman in the loss.
At 6 p.m., the Juniors sent the Seniors off with a not-so-pleasant farewell. Allie McKelvey, Karrington Ketterer, Cortni Prine and Mallory Swogger all broke the plane in a 30-14 trouncing of the Senior team. Maddie DeLisio and Amber Leech each added a touchdown for the Seniors.
Though two teams lost, everyone achieved a greater goal as a portion of the proceeds from the powderpuff football games went to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation and the Lincoln High School Club Hope to assist with a local family with cancer treatment. The girls all wore pink on their uniforms in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Riverside still controls own destiny after loss
That's all that Tom Liberty's team needs to qualify for the WPIAL playoffs this year after a miserable 2013 campaign that yielded just that…one win. Last Friday night, Riverside (3-3 Big Seven, 4-4 overall) ran into a team that gave them flashbacks of last season in Shenango. The Wildcats torched the Panthers for 517 rushing yards, including 282 by junior running back Tyler Root, in Shenango's 45-21 victory at Riverside Memorial Stadium.
Explosive plays set the tone in the conference match-up. Quarterback Jason Dambach connected with Logan Sheridan for a 69-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter for the Panthers after Root stormed to the end zone twice on runs of 61 and 74 yards. In the third quarter, Sheridan blew past the Wildcats' defense for a 70-yard touchdown run that pulled the Panthers within ten, but Root responded with an 80-yard burst of his own that put the game out of reach. In all, five plays went for 61-plus yards between the teams.
The loss puts Riverside in a must-win situation this Friday when the team hosts another Big Seven foe, Vincentian Academy (2-5 Big Seven, 2-6 overall). The Royals defeated Rochester last Friday, 31-22 after dropping five consecutive contests. A win puts Riverside in the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
Down and Out: Loss drops EC from playoff contention
The Wolverines took an early third quarter lead against Laurel on Friday night, then watched the Spartans counter with 17 unanswered points to eliminate Ellwood City from playoff contention, 27-14.
After a touchdown drive to start the second half, Ellwood City (3-4 MAC, 4-4 overall) seemingly seized momentum with a huge red zone stop at the 2-yard-line on fourth down. After taking over on downs, the Wolverines coughed up the football inside their own 10-yard-line, and a Laurel defender took the loose ball to the end zone. The score solidified the win for the Spartans (3-4 MAC, 3-5), who also watched their playoffs chances slip away as Beaver defeated Freedom, 51-19.
It was a bittersweet night for junior running back Nick Ioanilli, who surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing plateau for the season with an 86-yard performance, but threw a costly fourth quarter interception with the Wolverines already down 24-14.
The Wolverines hope to play spoiler this Friday against the Beaver Bobcats, who can clinch a second-place finish in the Midwestern American Conference with a win and a Beaver Falls loss. With a win, the Wolverines can also finish the season above .500 for the first time since 2011. Kick-off is at 7:00 p.m. at Helling Stadium.
Playoff updates: Ellwood City and Riverside
Last Friday, the Ellwood City Wolverines (3-3, 4-3) survived a scare by holding off a feisty Mohawk team. The Warriors climbed within two points of the Wolverines in the fourth quarter, but a later touchdown solidified the victory for Ellwood City who remains in playoff contention.
While the win kept the Wolverines alive in the playoff hunt, the team does not control its own destiny and will have a tough road ahead.
Ellwood City gets in if:
The Wolverines defeat Laurel and Beaver, and Beaver Falls loses at least one of its last two games (Aliquippa, New Brighton).
@ Laurel (2-4, 2-5) on 10/17
- Ellwood City is 3-0 on the road; Laurel is 2-1 at home
- Both teams defeated Mohawk and Freedom
- Ellwood City defeated Summit Academy (0-7); Laurel plays Summit Academy on 10/24
vs. Beaver (4-2, 5-2 overall) on 10/24
- Beaver defeated Laurel 40-7 last week
The Riverside football squad holds its playoff destiny in its own hands as a single victory over the remaining two weeks secures a playoff birth for the Panthers.
The Panthers first test will be a tough one beginning tonight as they host Shenango (5-2 overall) in a Big Seven showdown.
Riverside will look to the air attack again this week and ride the strong arm of junior quarterback Jason Dambach who is coming off an impressive aerial performance last week. For the season, Dambach is averaging just over 200 yards passing per game and has 10 touchdown passes.
Riverside gets in if:
The Panthers win one of its remaining two games. Panthers host Shenango 10/17 and a 1-win Vincentian Academy 10/24
Union, Vincentian Academy, and Western Beaver each lose at least one of their two remaining games. All three teams have four section losses.

Can Science Be Done Without Secrecy?
By editor
In his book, Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science, Physicist Michael Nielsen discusses why scientists jealously guard their data and are slow to adopt online tools for collaboration. Nielsen talks about why attempts to create science wikipedias have failed.

Let's all make hyper-generalizations!
(Originally published April 2012.)
As programmers, we often like to generalize code as much as possible - it saves tremendous work in the long run.
However, with several billion logic gates in their heads, humans are rarely simple as a code project. So I'm continually amazed when sites like the 501 Manifesto rise to the top of social media sites.
Yes, it's an interesting idea, and I'm sure it appeals to many people. But statements like this are stupid -
If you:
Write a technical blog
Contribute to open source projects
Attend user groups in your spare time
Mostly only read books about coding and productivity
Push to GitHub while sitting on the toilet
Are committed to maximum awesomeness at all times, or would have us believe it
…we respect you for it. There's probably some pity in there too, but honestly, it's mostly respect.
(Emphasis mine.) You pity me for doing what I enjoy? If anything, I pity the author who doesn't find that their work and hobbies are the same. I enjoy contributing to open source projects, it has nothing to do with some sense that I need to work.
Programmers: I understand that some of you have a desire to generalize. But please, understand that not everyone is like you.

DIY: Easy to make greensand for casting metal - Aluminum sand casting

The sand you are using is awfully coarse for typical molding sand. You
might want to get some 2NS sand from a concrete supply or gravel pit. The
problem with gravel pit sand is that depending upon the state you are in,
it might contain a lot of limestone, which will hurt the finish. If there
is a foundry supply in the area, buy sand with an AFS grain fineness of 70
or finer. The higher the number, the finer the sand. I run a production
and prototype foundry and we use an AFS 100 grain fineness sand. We have
used AFS 400 sand in the past. When I was young, we would mix sand with an
eastern coal shovel on a concrete floor.. Just place the sand and
bentonite together and turn it over several times till it is well mixed.
We always used a garden hose with a spray nozzle to wet the sand.
Typically, you want to let the sand sit for an hour or so after you have
cut / mixed it to allow the moisture to become more uniform throughout the
sand. Mix the sand and water with a shovel. Store it in a plastic bucket
with a lit to keep it from drying out. You can cleanup the sand with a
broom when you are done. You didn't say if you bought southern or western
bentonite. Typically, if you use rounded silica sand, you will want a
mixture of 50/50 western and southern bentonite for aluminum. Western
bentonite is stronger than southern bentonite. Too much western and the
sand wants to stick together in hard lumps after you have poured your
molds. We typically run our mixture at 7.5%, not 12% clay. That is a
little high. More clay reduces the permeability of the sand, making it
more likely that if the sand is a little too wet, you will get steam
bubbles that will push through the metal as opposed to going out through
the sand. These are called blows. If the sand is wet enough, it will
rocket out of the sprue (the sprue is the hole that you pour the metal into
the mold), something fairly dangerous. The sand should stick together like
snow does, when you squeeze it. You should be able to take the squeezed
sand with two fingers, and shake it lightly without if coming apart. If it
crumbles, it is too dry. It should not stick to your hand. If it sticks
to your hand, it is too wet.
You will find that the green sand would have worked much better if you had
put the clay in a bucket with water and boiled it. This activates the
clay. Otherwise, it will only slowly become active as you pour metal into
the molds and the clay gets steamed. Over time the sand will nearly double
in strength. With this level of clay and the strength it will achieve, it
will be difficult to get a smooth casting without the sue of a fine screen
(called a riddle) to break up the lumps as you put sand in your mold. You
should use a riddle with 1/8" x 1/8" holes. You can order these from
companies such as Freeman Supply and are known as a #8 riddle. The number
is the number of wires per inch, or you can make your own with hardware
wire screen.
I would be careful if you decide to use plaster. Plaster must be very dry
before you pour it. Typically, you want to bake a plaster mold in an oven
for at lease 8 hours at 600 degrees before pouring it, to get the moisture
out. Failing to do this often results in aluminum foam as opposed to solid
aluminum parts.

Автор Larry Tischler (1 год)
Many years ago we made 12 to 16 ounce "bell shaped" surf fishing weights
from Padre Island. beach sand molds. That sand is a little too spherical to
cast much detail. We were using old recycled fishing weights and it is
nearly pure lead. One or two of per cent tin added can get you better mold
fill-out. Consult the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook available at a library.
Will you use steel clips?
Автор lilwoodboy (2 года)
I used super cheapo cat litter in my greensand. I can't say how well it
works compared to pure Bentonite, because I've never used it, but I get
good results casting aluminum. I used my Magic Bullet blender to powderfy
(new word) the cat litter and then sieved it. I used a trowel to mull it by
hand. If you smear the clay into the sand really good it will hold the
shape of your pattern much better. If someone doesn't mind doing the extra
work to save a few bucks it's a good way to go. Thumb up
Автор The Ammo Channel (2 года)
That's how I started too. Just used dirt and sifted out the rocks.
Eventually I added some motor oil as a binding agent. It worked OK. Keep it
Автор motorhagel (2 года)
Grinding the cat-litter in a ordinary kitchen- blender/mixer makes it fine
as powder in a matter of seconds. This way I made about 40Kg greensand a
couple of months ago. Despite what some experts are saying, it really does
the job good. Though it required a lot of mulling before i found the
strength of the sand satisfying. Mulling in this case was done by hand..
and took me about 6 hrs of manual hard labor. Next project will be to make
a muller ;) Good Luck! and thanks for sharing =)

Nice vid..Sorry to burst Ur bubble,,The process you use is fine for the 1st
1/2,actually well detailed,But that silica sand is only 00 grade.So it does
not matter how fine ur bentonite clay is.The surface finish will only be as
fine/detailed as ur 00 silica sand.Bentonite clay is expensive as hell.Why
not just use fire clay?It is less than $20 for 10kg ..You will then have
change left to buy a sieve/riddle.I hope that white thing was NOT
polystyrene,the thing U put the cope/drag UPSIDE down on??
Автор Ars Armagus (2 года)
Not a problem. If you want a relatively smooth finish for castings, then I
would suggest using a thin layer of Talc on the form used to make the mold.
This also helps with the removal of the form from the mold.

be pounded into the sand like you wouldn't believe just like Mr B says.

I had considered the catlitter thing before doing this and decided against
it. The reason is that while yes, clumping litter does contain bentonite --
it is chunky. The bentonite I purchased was ultra fine, like flour, which
allows it to "coat" the grains of sand. I'm not sure that you could grind
cat litter that well. If you try it please let us know the results! Thank
you very much for watching and commenting.

The absolute best way to mix greensand and remoisten used greensand is with
a cheap harbor freight electric cement mixer.. just pull up a lawnchair and
relax with your spray bottle and a cold Sam Adams..

most of these videos are chronicles of peoples attempts at doing something
they have never done before. Why does everyone takes these to be
instructional videos? They are meant to show how he did, so he can go back
and review it. Make adjustments to the process in the future. Im so sorry
we cant all be masters at everything, you small minded fucking prick.

Very cool! I'm gonna have to try this. My first mold material was just
dirt, I went outside and cut my shape into the dirt. It worked decently
well, but the dirt was too wet. I didn't have a steam explosion, luckily,
but the water content of in the dirt boiled immediately on contact with the
molten aluminum, which resulted in a lot of little air bubbles in the
surface of the cast. Overall though, for my first time it ended up pretty
good. I'll have to look into making some of this stuff though.

The finer the sand, the less it will permit water to evaporate. This will
cause explosions during casting.

o gotcha. since then i have just used play sand and it works just fine..
thanks very much for the tip of explosion

Nice video! All I might mention is that when we used bentonite powder in
the paper mill I worked at it come in bags labelling it as a carcinogen.
Some sort of dust mask might be a good idea. Any fine powder is bad to
breathe regardless. Nice work though.

I saw a video of a guy doing 10% cat litter and 90% finely grained sand to
make good consistency... would that be cheaper than your material? It still
does the job for "metal casting" if that is the intention lol

text: We plan to rent from Budget. Budget also has a free shuttle van to take you to/from the ship. Last time we did this the total cost of the rental was $30 to rent at MCO and drop off at the port. Not a bad price. Then we rerented from Budget to go from the ship to WDW and we stayed at WDW for 3 days but I don't remember the rental price for that half. It was simple and easy so we plan to do it again.
