Nice campground. Ample, level sites. Good views of the water. This is a fairly large campground where all units are removed for the winter. There are units parked for the summer, but none of the usual signs of full time campsites. The staff is friendly, the manager is quite helpful. We enjoyed our stay so we extended it by another day. It is a relatively quiet park even when filling up for the weekend. The only down side of our stay was the lack of water on our last day. Not sure how long it lasted, but there was no water when we left around 11:00. Until then the pressure and quality of water was excellent. All hookups were easy and well placed. Definitely plan a return visit. - Stephen20

The only thing this place has going for it is the view of Lake Ontario. You pay a premium for a "lakefront" site but most of them are blocked by bushes and are peripheral at best. The entire park is filthy. There is goose poop everywhere and the sites located at the front of the park smell like sewage and rotten lake matter. There is trash all along the lakefront. There was an old tire along the road the entire time we were here, and no one removed it. The dog park was disgusting: very small and full of waste.
The second day we were here, there was a dead fish in the dog park and it was never removed either.
The manager came out and yelled at the children on the jump pillow with a bullhorn. The staff was mostly rude and was not very happy to be asked about anything. The park was very overpriced and the sites were extremely narrow. I would never stay here again. - mary mcmoo

Stayed the week of 4th of July. The sunsets are amazing. Yes there are a few bugs but they weren't biting bugs. We would definitely stay here again. - bthomforde

We have stayed at Westcott Beach SP twice, both times on the 'plateau', which will be the focus of this review. The plateau area is relatively new, with larger campsites that can accommodate big equipment. While all sites are back-in, they are relatively easy to get your trailer and tow vehicle into. All plateau sites have 40A electric; no full hook-up sites, but there are several locations where you can fill your freshwater tank, including the dump station. As a newer camping area, it features OPHRP's current standard bathroom/shower design, which has two shower stalls on each side (men/women) accessed through the bathroom area, as well as two self-contained handicapped bathrooms with a shower, sink and toilet. Has an outdoor sink, which is handy for washing dishes. The bathroom facilities are well-maintained. As others have noted, the main part of the state park is on the other side of the road; there are additional campsites on that side that are closer to the lake, but they are not as spacious or level as the plateau area sites. Westcott Beach SP has a swimming area, but no camp store or concession stand; the privately-owned Westcott Convenience store is close at hand with firewood, groceries, propane and other camping necessities. Overall, a good experience if you're looking to relax or are visiting Sackett's Harbor or Watertown. - nextcube

This campground provides plenty of activities for family campers. There is a large beach and day use area with a great playground that provides a lot of physical activity for children. There is also a vending machine and arcade building for day use. The campsites are medium size yet some are close to each other. Many sites are RV occupied and tend to block the views, but there are some inner sites for campers using tents. There are several comfort stations providing hot showers as well as potable water stations throughout the campground. There are a few electric sites. Quiet hours are pretty strict and may be enforced by other campers as well as a rare check-up by park officials. This campground is recommended for those looking for a quiet camping experience and an early lights out policy. - User2698

Awesome family campground with so much to do, great hosts, who are always there to help make sure you have a great camping experience! It is a pet friendly campground. They are constantly improving the campground. Great fishing awaits from the marina! It is close to shopping too. We have a seasonal campsite and we love it! You can walk around, drive a golf cart, go to the beach. They have restrooms, showers and laundry room. They have a brand new store that has ice cream and a pizza/wing restaurant that delivers. We are there as much as possible. It's our 2nd home! The camp hosts work very hard to satisfy their customers. We are very happy there! We've made many good memories there and look forward to many more! - Fleetwood7

The campground is small, and both parking and driving through are very tight. However, there are a few pull through spots right near the entrance that are easy to get in and out of. There are a lot of seasonal residences, but they are nicely maintained, and not trashy at all. In fact, some of them are pretty fancy. Some yards were cluttered, but with vacation toys, not household junk. The customer service was outstanding. There is wifi for sale at a reasonable rate ($4/3 days) and it worked well most of the time. The verizon signal was strong, ATT non existent. I did not notice the noise mentioned by previous reviewers, but I stayed mid-week, so it may just be that the park fills up on the weekends. There is a nice store on the property. - KAP99

Will never stay there again. Dusty and rough roads. Bare ground from digging sewer lines. Noisy. No quiet times. Reserved for a week but left after one night. Asked for refund and denied. This is more of a seasonal campground and not a RV Park. I do not have a good thing to say about Bedford Creek. - Ron Schweitzer

Very nice long and wide sandy beach. Only drawback is it stays that way for a good 200-250 feet into the lake. Great for small children but not so if you want to swim in water over your hips. Nice walking trail through the woods and lake dunes. Park is very well cared for,clean with large grassy areas and with nice loop roads. Fire rings are located at rear of sites. Only one area (upper) has electric. There is a double space dump/water fill station just past park entrance and several trash/recycle dumpsters on site. There is also a large concession building with small game room near the beach tho it was closed for the season during our visit. Also a large parking area is located near beach. - Willburr

We love this place, especially the Beach Campground right over the dunes from Lake Ontario. Water is clear and shallow, and the sandy beach goes for miles. Off-season is great here too. There are great hiking trails and walking on the beach is fun too. Staff is friendly as are other campers. Do watch your food on the grill, though, because the seagulls will steal it in a flash, as they did our hot dog! - Anne1945

This is our second visit to this park in the past two years, and we will undoubtedly return in a couple of years. This particular NY state park has one of the nicest beaches of any NY park, so there are lots of water activities including an excellent snack bar, boating, swimming, and fishing, etc. Watch out for all the children on bicycles (speed limit in the campground is 5 mph). There is only one loop which offers any hookups, and that is electricity so these sites go fast. There are also a dozen or so smaller sites located within 30 yards of the Ontario shoreline (but without electricity). About one third of all sites are nicely shaded and most are quite large for easy maneuvering -- but sometimes overrun with tents, canopies, boats, and bicycles. The park does have several limitations including poor cellular service, no wi-if, and no nearby supermarket for groceries. Park security pays little attention to loud radios blaring. Our motorhome should have been sound proofed. - hockeybuff

This is a gem of an RV park to be sure. This was our first time here and to the region, so everything was new to us. We stayed here a month in a class A RV in a full hookup 50A pull-thru. The owners live on site and are extremely attentive to their guest's needs and to the overall condition of the park. The sunsets over Lake Ontario at their pergola were a treat as was the entertainers they hired on the weekends. This is a quiet, friendly, adult park. The sites are spacious, plenty of trees and grass and access to the main road is easy. We would absolutely stay here again. - rick r

We had a dilemma on our reservation and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Very nice couple own and run this small park. Restrooms are clean but small with no real privacy and no area to place clothes and towel, besides floor. Site was level with stone base and grass between lots. Very roomy as well. 17 miles to Watertown for groceries. View of sunsets over Lake Ontario are spectacular. If ever in the area again we would stay here. - beach walker
Aug 2015 - $40.00
We enjoyed staying here and would return, if in the area. The sunsets over Lake Ontario are magnificent - many of those in the campground come to watch the sun go down - a nice moment of community. The grounds are well kept and the seasonal residents do a lovely job of maintaining their little piece of paradise. The new owners have been at it now for about 18 months and seem to be doing well. They're courteous and hospitable. The sites are level, with patio tables on the grass. Utilities are appropriately placed and work nicely. - LFClary

Beautiful state park right on Chaumont Bay & Long Bay. 88 sites with 30 electric (30 amp). Spacious enough to park across the site to maximize the view and catch the breeze. No privacy but the view makes up for it. Ice and firewood available at the Ranger station. Nice place to kayak and play in the lake. Very family friendly with a very large playground. - Breezy2

This is a great state park! The sites are all grass, some more level than others, and all are very good size. You can back in, pull in, or park cross-wise. We're a 40 ft., 4 slide motorhome; we could have parked it sideways in the site. Electric and non electric sites; water and dump station also available. Restrooms and shower were very clean and lots of hot water. Our Verizon MIFI worked very well, good cell coverage. There is a nice playground for kids, picnic area, boat launch, and fishing from the shore. Fire wood available at the office. We would definitely stay here again. - DiplomatTraveler

A quiet campground located on a scenic peninsula that juts out into the Chaumont Bay of Lake Superior. Most of the sites are open and grassy with a few shaded options for tent campers. All of the site have water views and some water access. A popular fishing destination and only a short drive from several historic towns on Lake Superior. The campground was full the weekend we stayed there, but not all noisy. Clean and well maintained facilities (and recycling) made this a pleasant place to spend the weekend. - watsontravels

We stayed 1 night and would not stay again unless it was the last resort. Water, electric and sewer worked, but as others have said, the long term residents seem to have it better than the transients. They far out number the overnight people. We were led to our site from the wrong direction. We were expected to make an impossible turn with our dully and 33 foot 5th wheel. Once we got to the site, it was an OK sized pull through on grass. It had rained and the site was pretty squishy. We were able to set up our satellite dish. - RVLive

For us, this is another campground that is OK for an overnight or at most a couple of days if you need to do something in the area. Access roads from the interstate (I-81) are good 2 lanes, but the campground is somewhat out of the way. Roads in the campground are dirt in near poor condition. We found mostly seasonal occupancy but most units were in good condition and reasonably well kept. There are also several park models. The swimming pool is across the road at the associated motel complex as is the office for RV check-in. Utilities were adequate. Campground was quiet at night. It was raining when we were there and we noted quite a few low areas within the sites that contained standing water as did the roads. The sites are advertised as being gravel but all we could see were grass. Sites appear to be reasonably level. TV reception with off-air antenna was decent. There were no Satellite dishes in view anywhere and we did not attempt to use ours. We would probably try to find another campground in the area that might be more convenient. - dogman

Stayed here for Memorial Weekend.
Checking in was very disorganized for RV pull-ins. The staff was rude and uninviting.
The number of golf-carts speeding around the campground was ridiculous and our children could barely ride their bikes around without getting yelled at by drivers because bikes are slow.
Vehicles would speed through at night making all sorts of noise and coolers and beer were getting stolen throughout the campsite.
The sites were close and the water pressure was very low and you have to rent a box now for tv that stated it was included with the site.
Staff did not have answers to common questions such as when the on site store closes.
There is no access to the campground if you leave after certain hours.
The pools were not open and were disgusting, fire pit rings were small brake drums and there were no activities for children.
They shut off the water on the day of check-out without warning us which delayed us cleaning up and being able to dump the rv sewer/gray water.
The beach showers did not work properly then were shut off completely instead of being fixed while bathhouse showers did not work properly and stalls were not private.
You also had to pay if you wanted internet that was supposed to be included. - User2698

This is a very large RV resort roght on Lake Onterio. Many of the sites are seasonal sites for trailers, 5th wheels and Park Models that are located close to the Lake. The other sites for non-seasonal short term stays are closer to the enterance to the park a little ways from the Lake. They have spaceous pull-thru sites with full hookups, a concrete pad with a picnic table, fir pit and cable TV. There are a lot of trees and plenty of grass that make for a very pleasant setting. As this park is a ways off of the highway it is very quiet. They have a large "social center" with several pools, a play area for kids, a restaurant, a store and a stage for bands/entertainment on weekends. At the beach they have a snack bar and picnic tables overlooking the Lake. Our $19 rate reflects our RPI membership. - Michael Kibler

Visited just after busy season. Very friendly and helpful staff. Not crowded tho if busy some sites are close together,quiet and clean. No on-site water but fill station located near entrance(you may wait in line a bit)and many container fill faucets located near sites. Picnic table located on concrete pad. Large fire pits are located close to roadside. Wood available at store and reasonably priced,$6 half wagon(provided)$12 full. Also offer on-site delivery for larger loads. Would recommend a full size ax to cut as some pieces quit large. Store also has many camping items at fair pricing. Restrooms were clean and well lighted. - Willburr

Full hookup sites are in loops around grassy fields. Our site 33 was large and shaded for the afternoon, a real plus with no A/C. Loops A and B were much less busy. There is a real nice network of biking trails right from the campground. Washroom building was old but they make an effort to keep it clean. Hot water with good pressure. Swimming beach open Fri, Sat, Sun with lifeguard. - Darleen

Selkirk Shores is a very popular campground in the Oswego, NY area - when we stayed there the campground was *completely full* on Friday and Saturday nights. We stayed in a site with electrical service, which worked fine. Sites are TINY, barely 30x20 feet; our tow vehicle wouldn't fit in the site with our 21 foot hybrid. The neighbor's campfire circle was almost under our camper, which made me more than a little nervous. Not the place to stay if you're not interested in a VERY social camping experience. Bathrooms were relatively new and kept reasonably clean, but due to apparent sewage problems didn't smell very good. Selkirk used to have a beach, but it's been closed for several years, though they do give you free access to the beach at another state park nearby. Essentially nothing to do at the park except fish in the Salmon River; there are no trails for hiking, no swimming, and no marina. - nextcube

Seattle City Council Votes in Favor of New Arena
A major step in bringing the NBA back to Seattle has been reached when the Seattle City Council has voted in favor of a new deal that would build a much needed arena.
The Associated Press reports that the city council voted 6-2 to approve a plan to build a $490 million arena close to Safeco Field and CenturyLink field south of downtown Seattle.
The deal includes that $200 million of the plan would come from public investment and investor Chris Hansen has guaranteed to cover the city's debt if the finance's for the arena fail to work out. The arena will be built to accommodate a potential NHL team.
"This is about a can-do spirit looking to the future and grabbing an opportunity that has been presented to the city," said Councilmember Tim Burgess.
The city still has a long way to go before bringing the NBA back to the Emerald City. They still need a team to agree to go there and the NBA has no plans to expand, so the next logical solution is to move a team to Seattle. However, would Seattle do what Clay Bennett did to them to another city?
Seattle needs a basketball team, plain and simple. It has a rich basketball tradition and it is a hotbed for young talent. Players like Brandon Roy, Jason Terry, and Jamal Crawford have all come out of the Emerald City and have become pretty good NBA players.
It's a giant leap forward for the city, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high, yet.

Silver Spring ramp closed because of flooding
The Silver Spring off-ramp from southbound state Highway 145, or W. Fond du Lac Ave., in Milwaukee will remain closed until further notice as state and city crews investigate the source of water that has been flowing onto the ramp since last week, state Department of Transportation officials said Tuesday.
Water has been seeping out of a manhole cover at the ramp. One possible source might be a leak in a nearby water main, DOT spokesman Michael Pyritz said.
The DOT received reports of water on the ramp late last week and highway crews salted the pavement there on Friday. Overnight freezing temperatures in recent days have created ice on the ramp, he said.
The ramp will not reopen until the source of the water is found and stopped, he said.

How to create hinge mortise on bevelled hinge edge using a router & jig?
I have 10 sapele mahogany veneered solid core doors 1-3/4 inch thick. They came pre-bevelled on both the hinge and strike side. I have to create the hinge mortise on the bevelled hinge edge for the 4-1/4 inch hinges I have. Does anyone know what the easiest way to do this would be using a jig and router?
I was going to make my own jig out of wood and then use the router to make the mortise but now this seems a bit more problematic because if the jig was at a 90 degree angle to the door face the mortice would then be cut at this same 90 degree angle and would therefore be deeper towards the back of the bevel than at the front. I want the mortice to be the same depth towards the back of the bevel so the face of the hinge is flush with the bevelled edge of the door, not a bit deeper towards the back of the door edge.
Any ideas? How would I make a jig to do this or is there one I can buy (but I don`t think I would find something to buy readily available as I am in Toronto and most pre-made jigs seem to be only available online in the US)? I don`t want to chisel these out by hand as I don`t think I would be very good at it and these were very expensive doors to replace if I made a mistake.
Sears has ,or used to have, a metal hinge template that is nailed on the edge of the door---therefore making the beveled edge not concern---see if they still have them---
Like this--Google images--sears router hinge template
Thanks but I really do not want to put 6 nail holes (2 x 3 hinges) into the edge of these expensive sapele mahogany veneered doors. I see there is a Hinge Mate HM-1100W door hinge template in aluminum that has received some good reviews and can be adjusted using an aluminum angle on the edge so that the template follows the bevel. The problem is I am in Canada and they don`t have them here and I need to start hanging these doors tomorrow.
I was hoping someone might have an idea on how to create a jig out of wood that I then could use with a router to create this mortise. A jig, that is, that would sit flush against the bevel.
Mkae your own jig that clamps onto the door, kinda a U shape to wrap the door
They sound like a reversible door, left or right. The hinges should be put in with the hinge pin on the side of the longest or widest edge. The depth should be uniform as the hinge will not be affected as it is rotating in that direction. It will simply rest in a slightly open position. They used to make but hinge cutter, (like a rectangular leather stamp) for most hinges, size & depth. You mark the spot, place the sharpened edge on the door and tap it in with a hammer, remove it and chisel out with a good 1/2" to 3/4" sharp chisel.
It seems to me that that is what I have to do. I`d have to measure the angle of the bevel and have the bottom a part of the U at that same angle. I would have one leg of the U and the bottom of the U glued and screwed together, ie an `L`shape, but what I am not sure about is how to make it so I can clamp the other leg onto the L. I want it to be a tight fit but that would mean possibly marring the veneer finish when I slide it on so I would want it to be somehow loosely connected to the L so that I could then tighten it on to the edge of the wood door with all 3 faces of the U tight against the it.
Does anyone know how I could design this custom wood piece? What kind of mechanism could I use to fasten the other leg of the U loosely to it so then I could tighten it? If anyone has a sketch that would be great.
Make jig inside legs just 1/32 or so wider then door width, after felting the inside edges so as to not scratch the door. The top big enough for your router, The hole the size need for a pattern bit or collar to ride inside of.
The top edge of the legs are cut to the angle of you door edge. Use a clamp to camp the legs to the sides of the door.
Thanks for that and for going to the trouble of posting the picture. But, I think that even with felt that assembly might run the risk of moving slightly when the jig is used.
I think I found the answer in the video below. This guy made an adjustable jig to mortise different sized hinges in doors of different thicknesses, albeit his is for doors where there is no bevel on the hinge side, ie his jig profile is a U with all sides perpendicular. I would have the bottom of the U at a slight angle to reflect the angle of the bevel on my door edges, like you did in the above picture. I don`t have to make mine adjustable for hinge size as all my hinges are the same size. What I do want is to be able to adjust is the back fence. ie the one leg of the U which you can see in the video that he is able to slide back and forward in order to clamp it on tightly to the door with removable clamps. This is much better than making it the exact thickness of the door or slightly larger and using felt I think. Clamps would make it very secure without any chance of moving when the router is used. I would also make 3 different spacers in the shape of an L to place against the top and bottom edges of the door (with the long side running along the door face) which I would then slide the jig against so that the spacing of the 3 hinges would be exactly the same on each door
Can't miss.
My two posts were supposed to go together, would use clamps as well, felt is there to protect the door.
Very similar to the other design but not adjustable.
Here you are Mike

13 May Spotlight on Cholesterol
Spotlight on Cholesterol
We talk a lot about how eating a whole food, plant-based diet can influence your health, but we haven't written much on specific health topics. This post is the first of what I hope to be a spotlight series where we will look at individual health issues and examine the role that diet can play. The first topic that I've looked at is cholesterol. Cholesterol is something that is very important to our health, especially when it comes to heart health, and is also something that we have a lot of control over—much more than most people realize.
First of all, what is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is found in the body's cells. Cholesterol is important because it helps to build and maintain cell membranes, and is also important for making hormones and vitamin D. Thankfully, we never have to worry about whether we are getting enough cholesterol because as the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute states, "Your body makes all the cholesterol it needs." However, some people take in external sources of cholesterol through the foods that they eat. All animal products contain cholesterol. Plant foods, on the other hand, do not contain any.
There are two main types of cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Sometimes, LDL is referred to as "bad cholesterol" and HDL is referred to as "good cholesterol." This is because when too much LDL is flowing through the bloodstream, it builds up along artery walls. This buildup is what causes atherosclerosis (narrowing and hardening of the arteries), which can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other life-threatening events. But whereas LDL is like the litterbug that throws garbage all over our precious inner environment, HDL is kind of like the garbage truck that collects everything and takes it to the dump. HDL drives through the bloodstream and picks up LDL along its way, eventually dropping it off at the liver to be broken down. The HDL truck can only hold so much garbage though, so when LDL levels are too high, the HDL truck can't carry all of it, and it ends up piling up in our arteries.
So how does what we eat affect our cholesterol levels? Well, as I said earlier, some foods contain cholesterol while others do not. All foods made of/from animals—red meat, white meat, fish, eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese, etc—contain cholesterol. This makes sense because animals produce cholesterol within their bodies, and when we consume animals and their by-products, we are in turn consuming their cells, which contain cholesterol. People are often surprised to find out how much cholesterol some of the animal products that are usually labeled as "healthier choices" have. For example, a typical steak has around 100g of cholesterol. Chicken breast is hardly much better, averaging at about 93g, and the "heart healthy" salmon comes in around 110g! One cup of cheddar cheese has about 120g, and a single egg has 187g of cholesterol. Plant-based foods, on the other hand, have none. That's right, none.
The typically prescribed blood level of cholesterol to shoot for is 200mg/dL or less. However, this cholesterol level does not mean that you are free from the risk of having a heart attack or other cardiac event. In fact, in the Framingham heart study—the longest-running study of cardiovascular disease—35% of cases of heart disease were among people who had cholesterol levels between 150 and 200 mg/dL. To truly protect yourself from heart disease, you should try to keep your cholesterol below 150 mg/dL. The best way to do this is to eliminate animal products from your diet, thus eliminating your intake of extra cholesterol*.
Sometimes when people reduce their total cholesterol, their HDL level goes down to a point that concerns some doctors. However, this is not something to get too caught up on. Though there is a correlation between having higher HDL levels and having a lower risk of heart disease, this is not necessarily the case if your total cholesterol is below 150 mg/dL. To put it simply, it makes sense that the more HDL garbage trucks you have, the more LDL garbage that can be picked up—but the less garbage you have floating around in your bloodstream, the fewer garbage trucks you need to collect and dispose of it.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States—one in every four deaths is from heart disease. The good news is that this is very preventable if people make healthy diet and lifestyle choices. As Dr. Esselstyn likes to say, "Heart disease is a toothless paper tiger that need never ever exist, and when it does exist, it need never ever progress." Heart disease is one thing in life that we have control over. We do not have to live in fear. We can prevent atherosclerosis from ever developing, stop it in its tracks, and in some cases, even reverse it. And all of this begins with cholesterol.
Eat plants and make your heart happy <3

On the face of it, there is merit in the idea announced by the Government this week, of merging four Government departments into one.
The plan was raised in a major speech by Prime Minister John Key in which he referred to a single "dedicated, business-facing" ministry, made up of Economic Development, Science and Innovation, Building and Housing and Labour.
The new super-ministry will be the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and the man in charge will be Steven Joyce.
After a parliamentary career of barely 40 months, Joyce puts one in mind of Pooh-Bah, the character in Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera The Mikado whose long list of titles included "Lord High Everything Else".
It's little wonder that John Key puts such faith in Joyce: he ran the campaign that got National into power and has since shown himself to be an effective manager and an unflappable communicator. But the new job will certainly be a test of his skills.
It goes without saying that the country has to cut its coat according to a somewhat shrunken cloth. We are in no immediate danger but we are far from immune to the fate of the PIGS economies of southern Europe.
The plain fact is we have to reduce Government debt and Government spending and that is going to call for some unpalatable medicine. It certainly means ensuring that the delivery of public services is done as efficiently as possible. What's important to remember is that it will call for more than simply cutting staff on the frontline or in the back office.
Joyce himself has been cagey about job losses - indeed, it's a term he has not uttered: preferring like his leader to deal in euphemism, he uses the term "efficiencies" - because he says if he mentions a number, it will become a benchmark.
That's a reasonable comment, but vagueness won't remain acceptable forever. The Cabinet expects a "due diligence" report on the plan next month which, we are told, will provide detailed advice on how the merger will be managed. But it is to be hoped that it will also provide a sensible projection of cost savings, hand-in-hand with an idea of what changes there will be to service delivery.
Inevitable disruptions will occur as the new arrangements bed in after such a short lead time. But it also seems improbable that our public service can become leaner and meaner without some drop in output. The entire sector has been through more than a generation of re-organisation and pruning, all with the intention of getting more bang out of each taxpayer buck. There's no harm in that, but Joyce and his minions have their work cut out to convince us there is more fat to be cut.
Making ministries more "business-facing" is a nice-sounding phrase which, tellingly, chimes with much of the new Labour rhetoric enunciated by party leader David Shearer this week in his first big public speech outside the House. Much of what he said would not have sounded out of place in Key's speech. If ever there was a time for dropping political disagreements in favour of a bilateral approach to some of our more besetting ills, this is surely it.
In the meanwhile, Key has drawn up a curriculum for the next two years against which he will be measured: reduced welfare dependency; increased Maori and Pacific participation in early childhood education; increased immunisation rates; better school results; reductions in offending and re-offending. These are lofty aims, and whether he has managed them will be easily quantified in 2014. He may be assured that everyone is watching.

|The heating and ac wont come on at all but the blower fan will come on in when the fan is in the on mode. when cutting the power on and off to the unit at the cover safety switch when calling for heat or ac the blower motor kicks on for about 1/2 a second. For the short time it kicks on there is a spark in one of the relays on the circuit board. Does it sound like a bad relay? This is the only time there is activity to the unit besides when calling for fan. The relay is soldered on i believe and its a potter brumfield kup-11a17. I've seen replacement circuit boards and read at least once that there may be a couple of differences on the new board and it may not be as straight forward as an exact replacement. This is not confirmed though. circuit board model number is hh84aa005. I've soldered new pb relays on jacuzzi circuit boards. Is this relay available or doable?

|ya, i checked and i can get a new board for 56 bucks. I can also get a relay if i have to but may not be worth the time. The new board at my appliance house that crosses with my old number is icm275c. So if this relay controls the blower in the heat and cool auto modes and it's contactor is bad does this also prevent the condenser and the gas valve from getting power to come on? thanks

|One oddity of some control boards is when they are powered up they will "bump" a motor. Very disturbing when a blower turns on for a split second and then back off when you have a different problem......
I say don't worry about the fan coming on when the system is just powered up. You have another problem.... The control board does not control the signal to the condenser directly. If you get no condenser , then you have a problem the 24 volt control circuit from the heater to the thermostat. Check that your themostat is functioning correctly . Place a jumper from R to Y at the themostat first and at the control board. cooling should come on . if it comes on when jumper is placed at the thermostat, then your problem is the themostat, if it comes on when the jumper is placed at the control board , then you have a problem with the wire between the board and thermostat.
The fact that the blower operates in "fan on" mode leads me to beleive that the problem lies in the themostat.
Don't know much. But learned early on, once you let the smoke out of a something electrical, you can never put it back in!!

i installed a new circuit board. The old board see through relay had obvious visible problems. The new circuit board enabled the ac system to work now, the "fan only" still works, the slight fan kick on disappeared which is all great but the heater wont come on at all still. The thermostat that was reading AC on the display, which in the manual indicated a lack of 24 volt power to it also disappeared and it now shows the temp and system on light comes on also. I bypassed the thermostat and the heat still wont even react. no spark, absolutely nothing. what else can it be? If the spark ignitor is bad will this stop voltage to fan and valve? thanks

|Without knowing exactly what furnace you have , it is hard to say what to do.
Did you jump out from W to R at the board?
There are usually several safty devices inline with the ignition circuit of the heater. All safety devices should have continuity when checked with an ohm meter. some safety devices are manual reset types. Many older furnaces also have a fusable link somewhere above the burners . If you have a open / failed fusable link or a tripped manual reset hi temp switch, you may also find you have a failed heat exchanger.
Don't know much. But learned early on, once you let the smoke out of a something electrical, you can never put it back in!!

|The way heating logic works is ---- Heat input from thermostat---- Heat signal trys to go thru all heat safeties(fan limit, fusable link, rollout switch)---- if ok, then signal passes to ignition system ----- pilot flame ignites and burners come on... the end.
Carrier furnaces have multiple safeties in line with the heating circuit. The model number will start with a 58. the 58 translates from Carrier to human as "GAS FURNACE".
If you find one of the safety devices open take a look at the ribbon burners. Do you see rust piles on them??? Look up into the heat exchanger , do you see any holes ??? If you have either you might have a dead furnace. If you do , STOP NOW and call a heater guy.

|This furnace was working fine a week ago. I guess the bad relay was becoming evident though, because the blower was hesitating at start up. When I looked at it nothing worked except the fan on mode. After the circuit board was replaced the ac blower and condenser worked now the heater function on the readout on the thermostat even reads on now, but nothing going to spark or gas valve. Is this just a coincedence that there is another problem? It is so frustrating because I cant spend a lot of time on this because of so many other pending jobs i'm doing and I have a sneaky suspicion it's going to be something simple. I'm very interested in this fusible link or whatever else sends power to, or prevents power to ignitor, valve fan.

|the second problem ended up being the resetting of a limit switch.

I have inpa, where in the north east are you?
I have inpa, where in the north east are you?
firstname.lastname@example.com (30-11-2012)
Not so much the damp, as hard seals not sealing. My 540 ran like a pig until I changed the oil separator diaphragm. It is more silicon than rubber, but still goes hard with age and cold. Oil doesn't help it. I'm not familiar enough with that engine, but find the hairdryer significant. Something happens when it warms up. Pumping warmed my fuelpump seals so it eventually worked. The same could be happening, or the warmth from trying to start/kicking could be enough. Where do you point the hairdryer? I shall look on realoem and see what rubbery parts/seals there are that could be doing this.
Sounds like a Microsoft car to me. Stops, starts, stops stops etc. It doesn't go blue too does it? Sorry!
As I suspected, loads of rubber pipes and a rubber diaphragm for oil separation. I suggest you look here. Here is a link to the page, if it works RealOEM.com * BMW E46 325i Crankcase-Ventilation/oil separator
When your car is running, what happens if you undo the oil filler cap? If it speeds up it's probably OK, if it doesn't it's probably blocked/stuffed. Gives an idea, but far from conclusive.
Valve is probably about £20/£30. Never hurts to renew it. Check the pipes too. They don't like oil and can swell, collapse, block etc. All of this can screw up starting.
Haha Mike .... gotta have a sense of humour or I'd cry!
I just point the hairdryer into a corner and let the whole bay get warm while the blankets keep the warm air in.
I'm in Durham ... and not to sound ignorant but whats inpa?
And if it makes any difference .... the problem is only at cold start, it's fine and runs great all day after that, stopping and starting faultlessly as normal.
I will have to check what happens when i open the oil filler cap whilst running ...
BMW specific diagnostics software, I am in coxhoe all day Sunday if you want me to have a look
That would be awesome if you could? I need to go out about 1pm to collect my daughter but I can stay in all morning, and not start it and it might show it's symptoms while you're here!
I'm in Brandon
That's not bad only 10 miles from me, may not be able to come til afternoon so after your daughter has been picked up but I will have a look around for you and plug it in
Good man Lee. That's what is needed. I have it too, but am in Rugby, not round the corner. If you have a laptop and a bit of computer literacy, and a lot of common sense then it's well worth loading. Pity it has to use Microsoft. I use Linux.
Anyway, INPA will show an airleak if I am on the right track. It should tell you what's up anyway.

Create Presidential Animation
We are a group of individuals who are interested in re-creating presidential sites and open them to the public. As development and construction are large scale projects with significant investment needs, we are looking to create an interesting, humorus approach to announcing our plans with ongoing parodies with an intent on redirecting interest to our fundraising efforts.
What we are looking for is a way to take the concept of former Presidents of the United States and having moving characters in a group setting. If one has played Call of Duty Black Ops and played as one of the Presidents (JFK, Nixon) then you may understand our intention.
Our chosen Presidents will be JFK, Nixon, Regan and Carter at the time of this writing. What we need to know is, is there a way to design characters who look actual and have minimal moving parts - jawline or eyes in either a Southpark fashion or otherwise so that audio can be inserted and have these components move. We dont need cartoons, we need the capability of recording and playing and making use of these characters if possible.
If this is not within your realm and only individual annimations recreated with each change, your suggestions on options will be welcome.
Our goal is to place these on a website and have these former presidents, in character, comment on news of the day and the activities of elections, presidential decisions, etc. in an ongoing humorous approach while reminding visitors that they too can weigh in at the Presidential Retreat and Museum we plan on building.
If fund raising never materializes, the site will simply be a fun foray into national politics.
We look forard to your feedback on what is possible.

Zong hatched a plan to buy 20 electric-vehicle chargers from Tesla after picking up his new sedan in Beijing and realizing he'd have a hard time recharging in on the 1,300-mile drive south to Guangzhou. Zong then went onto online sites such as WeChat and Weibo and solicited volunteers to install his chargers. And after more than 3,000 miles worth of driving (or about a dozen or so odd recharging sessions), Zong got his 20 chargers installed. You can read PHNIX's press release below.
Zong's efforts are a far cry from those of fellow Chinese businessman Zhan Baosheng, who registered for the trademark on the Tesla name in the country in 2006. Zhan, who has long been scuffling with the California-based automaker, recently sued Tesla for trademark infringement and was seeking almost $4 million in damages. That would buy a lot of chargers.
GUANGZHOU, China, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- "When I picked up my Tesla in Beijing, I realized that it's impossible to drive it back to Guangzhou as there are hardly any places to recharge the batteries," Andrew Zong, the CEO of PHNIX and also one of the first Chinese Tesla owners, said this to reporters.
As a result, Andrew Zong got a crazy plan that by utilizing the power of the Internet and folk strength, he could make the first charging facility network in China to solve the electric vehicles' charging problems.
With this plan, Andrew Zong bought a batch of original chargers for Tesla and promised that he would donate all the chargers to new-energy-loving car owners.
Next Andrew Zong posted on online social network platforms, like WeChat and Weibo, to recruit volunteers who were willing to provide installation sites and offer free charging service for Tesla motors. During the next three days, there were thousands of volunteers applying to install charging piles at their places. Taken everything into consideration, 20 of the volunteers were selected.
During the following twenty days, Andrew Zong and his companions have self-driven his Tesla for 5,750 kilometers via sixteen cities, in which they have donated twenty charging piles. To their astonishment, they finally succeeded in pioneering the first route of electric car charging network from north to south China.
Andrew Zong, the founder of the world's leading heat pumps manufactory and one of the craziest T-fans, has ordered 20 Tesla as rewards for employees and built 60 charging parking lots in his own factories.
Andrew Zong told reporters, "The true value of this action is to tell everyone: as long as more and more people are involved, a network of charging piles across China will soon be set up and this could form a more eco-friendly lifestyle for China."

Damla Ayzeren is the talented writer and illustrator of the Turkish children's book series "The Adventures of Cherry." In 2012, Damla brought the series to the digital world using Corona SDK and Kwik. As a participant in the American Design Awards, a reputable and independent design organization, Damla's "Cherry at the Stars" eBook was awarded 2nd place in the Application Design Category.
What's your background as an illustrator?
Beside graphic design, I've contributed royalty-free digital illustrations to several image banks such as Shutterstock and iStockphoto. I have a portfolio of vector illustrations which is suitable for a large variety of usage purposes.
Two years ago, I had the chance to illustrate for kids with my first children's book series, The Adventures of Cherry. Storytelling has always been my passion, and now I can use illustration as a visual means to express the words on the page. I find picture books as a perfect medium to combine my illustration, design, and writing skills.
Why did you decide to create a digital version of your hardcover The Adventures of Cherry series?
Digital publishing is getting stronger every day compared to traditional hardcopy publishing, as it offers a new form of production and user interaction. The competition between the eBook and hardcopy book is still a subject of argument, but it's undeniable that the digital world offers a wide range of opportunities.
Please tell us about the eBook Cherry At The Stars.
Cherry At The Stars is the first book of the series for ages 4-8. The story is about following your dreams and finding ways to make them come true.
Can you please share your recognition at the American Design Awards? What was the criteria for winning?
In short, American Design Awards recognize and award the most outstanding, meaningful and inspirational design achievements in the design world. When I heard that Cherry At The Stars won 2nd place in the Application Design category, I was very excited that my hard work was recognized by design professionals.
Why did you decide bring your eBook to iOS with Corona SDK and Kwik?
With Kwik, I didn't need to write a single line of code, and with Corona SDK I could easily build my application for all major platforms. In fact, it was so user-friendly, I decided to just create the eBook myself!
I designed the interactive app in an amazingly short time with Kwik's simple tools, and a flawless production process with Corona SDK. I could see and test every step of my design in the Simulator, easily build the app for iOS, and send it directly to iTunes Connect for review. The whole production process was amazingly fast and simple.
For the time being, Cherry At The Stars is only book in the series available for iOS, but I plan to publish my eBook to other platforms in the near future.
Have you used Corona and Kwik to create any other eBooks?
What's your next project?
And inevitably, I will make the digital versions of all future books that I'm going to write and illustrate.

It's been a very busy week. Fights with the workplace, some pressures, stresses and an on-going battle with depression has seen my reading limited but on the upside I have completely emptied the storage unit and thrown out reams of useless crap and, best of all, unpacked several hundred books and placed them upon the shelves. Excellent!
What did I finish this week?
King Of Comedy: The Life & Art Of Jerry Lewis by Shawn Levy. I like Levy's style of writing, his book on the Rat Pack is one of my all time favourites and this book is greatly assisted by the same informative, yet entertaining style of reporting. There's stuff in here that I never knew about Lewis, and to be honest, he's never been one of my favourite comedians (Marx Brothers boy that I always was) yet this has caused me to reconsider my appraisals of the man. Levy shows that Lewis, like most comedians, has a definite dark side, which erupted during the writing of the book, as the postscript shows, as Lewis began to attack Levy for slights that were, for the most part, totally imagined.
First Photographs by Gail Buckland. Pretty much what the title says the book delivers. Piles of early and interesting photographs of all kinds of topics. The photo of Ruth Synder's execution is still a chilling image, even after eighty years.
The World Of Mitchell by Phil Birnbaum. An overview of the career of editorial cartoonist Bill Mitchell. This book will mean absolutely nothing to:
1] anyone under the age of 40 and
2] anyone who's never lived in Australia. Thus this book has limited appeal. Like the bulk of such books, the editorial cartoons presented make no sense unless you're aware of the situation surrounding them, and some, in hindsight, appear to be either silly or mean spirited. Damned good artist though.
Rockwell On Rockwell: How I Make A Picture by Norman Rockwell. I got this book, and the next one listed, for peanuts from a local market. Colour me happy. Brilliant book by Rockwell showing the techniques that the artist used to create some of his most memorable images. I expect that artists of today could do worse than to try and track a copy of this sucker down.
Norman Rockwell & The Saturday Evening Post: The Early Years by Norman Rockwell. See the recurring pattern here? A beautifully presented book, large in format and as such able to showcase of the earlier Rockwell covers. I know a lot of art aficionados look down on Rockwell, but I like the stuff. Reading it I couldn't help but wonder if there's a book out there showcasing my other favourite painter: Norman Mingo...
The Draft by Emma Quayle. As mentioned last week, this was finished an hour after I finished my entry. See last week's entry for an more in-depth report.
S.P. Mackenzie: The Colditz Myth. Holy crap!! Not your usual WWII POW book, not that light and breezy, but it is showing, by use of detailed research, that a lot of what we've been lead to believe about WWII POW life might not be all that it appears. Not an easy book to read, but rich in detail and scope. Halfway through it, ETA of finishing is sometime Monday.
Bruce Beresford: Josh Hartnett Definitely Wants To Do This...
Kevin Brownlow: Behind The Mask Of Innocence - Sex, Violence, Prejudice, Crime: Films Of Social Conscience In The Silent Era
Paul Buhle & Dave Wagner: Hide In Plain Sight - The Hollywood Blacklistees In Film & Television 1950 - 2002
I'm also doing some serious research into a potential new book that I want to write. This has also seen a lot of reading time taken up with other subjects. As such if I wasn't researching I'd have finished another two books or so, but if Project #5 (as I'm calling it) takes off it'll all be worth it. Watch this space.

City Guides >
Washington D.C. Has been deemed the 3rd best Nature Lover destination in the U.S.. A lot of people wouldnt think the crowded nation's capital to be a nature friendly zone, but 19% of D.C. Is devoted to parkland. Split up in a 100-mile radius are 10 national parks, giving a scenic break to the gray hustle and bustle of the City.
Ever feel like youre living in a nature lovers Paradise? Maybe while youre eating lunch in the swampy, muggy heat of Farragut Square or while jogging along that potholed path along Rock Creek Parkway? Me either, but according to NerdWallets new study, were in the third best city for nature lovers in the country.
Washington D.C. isnt only the White House there is plenty of green space within city boundaries, with over 19% of the metropolitan area devoted to parkland, the study says.

Florence doctor has past accusations of over-prescribing pain meds
MISSOULA, Mont. - Dr. Chris Arthur Christensen has a past full of accusations for over-prescribing pain medications.
The doctor was the center of a raid at Big Creek Family Medicine and Urgent Care in Florence Tuesday.
Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman said the raid came after a 2-year multi-agency investigation into Christensen's prescription writing practices. And it's not the first time he's come under fire.
In 1998 an Idaho State investigation found Christensen prescribed painkillers and narcotics to several patients without ever treating their underlying medical issues.
Then in 2001 Christensen agreed to voluntarily give up his license after the Idaho State Board of Medicine accused him of prescribing drugs that were linked to at least two overdose deaths. In addition to giving up his license, Christensen had to pay a $2,000 fine and go through a mandatory pain management course. He was still licensed to practice medicine in Washington and Montana.
Christensen made the move to Montana in 2005, opening Big Creek Family Medicine and Urgent Care in Victor, south of Missoula.
Just over a year later Christensen was indicted on three federal counts for allegedly over-prescribing drugs when he practiced in Idaho in the early 2000s. After two trials, a jury cleared Christensen of those charges in 2010.
Since then he's been practicing in the Bitterroot, expanding his office to Florence in November 2011. The same office investigators raided Tuesday.
Most recently Christen was reprimanded by the Board of Medical Examiners in Montana when he refused to turn over medical records for a Victor patient. In 2013, he was asked to apologize for what the board called 'unprofessional conduct.'
No charges have been filed against Christensen in the Florence case; the investigation is ongoing.

Chapter 11
At breakfast the next morning, I quickly glanced through the highlights and made sure I was up-to-date on the current events of the stock market, knowing full well that as usual our conversation will only revolve around those topics. I still garnished hope that maybe today will be different, maybe today instead of discussing the ups and downs of the Kundra Company shares, he might actually ask me "How are you, son?"
As Mr. Mohan Kundra took up his usual seat at the head of the table, I greeted him, "Good Morning Dad." To which he just barely glanced at me and nodded his reply. I immediately started discussing my thoughts on purchasing large amounts of shares in this barely known company called SJVN Ltd., "This company harnesses clean, efficient and environmentally sensitive hydro power. Because of the fast depleting natural resources, and with the recent scandals regarding government agencies stealing natural resources, I truly believe that hydro power will soon be the next best thing. Maybe not in the recent future but surely in another 10 yrs or maybe even earlier, it will be big. I think it will be wise to purchase now in bulk before others realize its importance and get on the bandwagon." I waited for him to respond, but he didn't say anything, so I continued to put forward my argument. "Hydro power is a renewable economic, non polluting and environmentally benign source of energy. Hydro power stations have inherent ability for instantaneous starting, stopping, load variations etc. and help in improving reliability of power system. Hydro stations are the best choice for meeting the peak demand. The generation cost is not only inflation free but reduces with time." Dad interrupted me saying, "All that is fine but I need to see figures. At the end of the day that is all that matters." "Yes Dad, have already put our analysts on the job and will have the figures ready by end of day." Dad nodded and turned his attention to his wife, "Your car has gone for servicing today, so if you need to go out shopping let me know and I will send you one of our company cars." "Oh yes I need to go out for our monthly kitty party lunch today." I blocked out the conversation and scrolled through my schedule on my blackberry for today. Hmmm, meeting with the architects regarding the new slum developmental project at 10, followed by a lunch meeting with the board to discuss the project planning and financial nitty-gritty, hmmm meeting with M at 4 in the evening before meeting up with the Bhatia clan regarding the promotion of our housing project which is complete half way, wait, what meeting is this and who is M? I don't remembering the scheduling of any such meeting, I should speak to Bittuji about this.
Bittuji knew that his boss was an early riser and liked to review and prepare for his day at breakfast itself. So he went through the schedule and confirmed all the meetings. He remembered the meeting Madhu had requested and made quick call to her, "Madhuji, Mr. Kundra has a very busy schedule today and the only time I can schedule you is at 4pm this evening. I am sorry, but he will be able to see you for only 15mins as he has an appointment soon after." "No Bittuji, that will be no problem. I know your boss is a very busy man and cannot waste time on me, after all time is money right?," I couldn't help the sarcasm in my voice. I sighed when I realized that I was being rude and said, "Bittuji If you could please text me the address, I will be there on time."
When I looked up, I realized that Dad had already left the table and it was just me and Mrs. Mohan Kundra. She looked at me and said, "Son, your Dad loves you very much and is very proud of you. He may not say it but he surely feels it." I winced when I heard her call me son. I hate it when she gives me these pitiful looks. I don't need her pity, I don't need anyones pity, I am Rishab Kundra for god's sake. People envy me, they are jealous of me. I don't need to hear this. So on cue I got up, looked her in the eye and said, "Have a good day Mrs. Mohan Kundra. By the way, Dad seems to be spending more and more time at work, I wonder if that is something you should worry about" and walked away. I knew Dad was looking to take over this company and was busy with work related to that matter since about a month now, but she doesn't know that does she.

Gondola Lessons in VeniceAuthor: Carolyn S.B.
Date of Trip: October 2009
Charlie weighs in on the best spots for hanging out in town -- these include Santa Margherita and, further afield, the beaches of the Lido. If you want pizza, he advises, avoid restaurants in Venice (they just cook up frozen) and head instead to dedicated pizzerias like Al Nono Risorto in Santa Croce and Pizzeria Vesuvio Trattoria, near Cannareggio.
For Jane, this effort to teach the art of Venetian rowing to tourists is more than a job. It's also a way to ensure that this style of rowing lives on, and she has a lot of company in that regard. If your interests are more with other traditional Venice art forms then rowing, per say, a new organization called The Venetian Club offers small group connections in areas such as bookbinding, mosaics, jewelry making, masks, and cooking; Jane's rowing lessons are available through the organization, too.
While I'm never going to morph into any kind of serious rowing aficionado, today's lagoon adventure was more than just a way to pass a couple of hours. The experience was a first glimmer for me of a connection below the surface of the tourists' Venice that is so difficult to penetrate.
Tonight, for the first time on this trip, we chose our restaurant well, thanks in no small measure to a suggestion Jane offered. Ristoteca Oniga is a small, cozy place at Campo Barnaba whose cooking philosophy is part of the Slow Food movement that's growing here in Italy and even at home in America. It subscribes to the theory that you take your time and rediscover your tastebuds. The restaurant, packed with locals rather than tourists and featuring an all-Italian menu that refuses to condescend to those who won't learn Italian, was a refreshing change. In two days, we'd already had way too many forgettable meals at places whose menus featured third-rate color photographs (and fourth rate food) and whose servers bustled you in and out with more efficiency than passion.
If, after my first ever (and quite romantic) trip to Venice a certain ho-hum, overly touristic cynical attitude had begun to seep in, this visit, especially because of the rowing experience, gave me a fresh new look at this venerable old place. Ultimately, if I lack the passion to be a serious rowing aficionado (though I would like to graduate to the canals, just for that experience), I feel newly re-energized and ready to return, and soon. The Venetian Club's list of possibilities intrigues. Next trip -- mosaics, Venetian mask making or cooking? Maybe I'll expand my stay to try all three.
Info: A two-hour session with Row Venice (http://www.rowvenice.com/) costs 50 euros for one person, 40 euros for two. Two's the ideal number though Caporal can handle a maximum of four people. No credit cards accepted.
