I had breakfast this morning with a good friend who owns a couple of hotels. He was pretty upset as he just got word that the DOJ ruling on elevator lifts for pools would be effective tomorrow. Since he is afraid of being sued, he is thinking he will just have to close the pools for now. Description of regulations is here Pool access regulations.
A couple of times each year we travel with the grandkids and where we stay sometimes depends on availability of nice pools. Has anyone heard what campgrounds intend to do. Will they spend the money to comply? Close the pool? Ignore? Or maybe the rules do not apply to them. Maybe a campground owner watching this thread can answer.

Would a private campground be considered "public access"?

Semi public pools were exempt and our HOA pool falls into the same semi public rules. We thought we were going to have to comply too, but was advised we are safe from that added expense.

Although I don't have a pool at my campground, I have received several e-mails about this subject from the ARVC (National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds). According to what we are told, Campgrounds ARE included in this mandate. As I understand it, some campgrounds have already purchased portable lift units, but those do not meet the requirements and will have to be permanently fixed in place to be an approved lift. This clarification came six weeks before the March 15 deadline.
I have not spoken with any campground owners with pools to see what they are doing to comply with the law.

Having been in the lodging business for a decade before retirement, I have been keeping track of this. The rules have been suspended now for 60 days. They required a fixed lift for each part of the pool. If a hotel had a swimming pool, a kiddie pool, and hot tub. The thought was to have one on wheels, but now the government in their infinite wisdom says you must have a fixed one for each of the 3 units of the pool. Campgrounds are included. When I was in college (Ben Franklin was one of my professors), I worked on the handicapped floor assisting other students for money and they had cranes with cloth seats, winches, and cables. They were not expensive, but this type no longer qualify. The mandated ones are top drawer and I have heard the figure of $60,000, but it sure seems excessive to me. This will close many pools and hot tubs in small businesses including campgrounds. They will make great planters. This certainly seems like a huge over reach on the government's part. What will be next?
I know in Florida there are numerous slime ball lawyers who go around looking for minor violation and then file suit in federal court seeking large awards. They end up settling for an average of $5,000 to $10,000. This new law will open up a huge new market for them and get more lawyers into that business. Only in America.

Update on the pool access issue:
"The Justice Department on Thursday issued a 60-day stay of execution for hundreds of thousands of public pools which had been required to install ramps and wheelchair lifts by today or else face lawsuits over violating disability laws."
Pool-mageddon avoided for now

So if I were blind and went to the Grand Canyon and could not see it, should it be closed to everyone? Then would Washington tell the Nat. Park you have a problem and you need to fix it. I see 99% of all the pools across the USA will soon be a flower bed. Our government at work!
One more side note. We were in a city park in Orland that had ADA bathrooms, no problem. Only problem a person in a wheelchair could never use them due to no sidewalks. You need to move up or down a hill with open land to use them. All three were the same way.

As a park manager, we decided to make the investment. We have purchased one for the pool and one for the hot tub. The total cost for the 2 is $7600. We have had a hand crank lift available for the past 8 years, and it is still in the box. Now, with these 2 lifts affixed at pool edge, our big concern is how are we going to keep children from playing on it. Our pool is a non-lifeguard pool, so staff is not poolside for the 12 hours daily that the pool is open.

Kind of sad that $7600 has to be spent and no one but the company that sold it will get any benefit. I would say that if you haven't needed the hand crank lift for 8 years, the odds of anyone using the new lift would be close to zero. And yes, I bet you do have a major liability issue with the lift being used as a toy. It would be sadly ironic if someone became disabled playing on equipment that you only bought because of some requirement to serve a disabled guest who never visits your park. Could a cover be constructed that would keep children and curious adults from playing with it, and then it could be uncovered only when needed (which will probably be never)?

We are looking at having covers for both. We will also place signage on them threatening loss of pool privileges for anyone observed playing on or with the lift. I have 1 camera directed at the spa lift and will have to get another one directed at the pool lift. All we see at this time is nothing but problems, and that is too bad. The liability issue is a big one.

I have talked to some of my old friends in the lodging business and they are in a panic. You can't buy and get delivery of these units for months. In Florida, the actual enforcement is left up to the counties and there has been a huge difference in interpretation of the rules. A good friend of mine spent $28,000 changing the angle of the sides of his concrete pool from 7 degrees to 11 degrees, which is not even noticeable. In the next county, there are many Inns who have done nothing to comply with commercial pool rules for years and get away with it. I suspect that this sort of thing will continue. Drainage and filtration is much different on commercial pools also.

Do you hear that sound? It's the sound of sleazy lawyers licking their lips (oh, sorry, I'm being reundant, aren't I?) The lawyer in the Miami area who specializes in sending handicapped people out to restaurants and other businesses in order to find the tiniest of infractions is probably packing his Speedo right now and heading out....

Foodzie is an online marketplace where you can discover and buy food directly from small passionate food producers and growers. We are a part of a bigger mission, to help change the way people eat. Our small piece of that mission is to help the small food producers across the country find customers and grow their business. We believe that instead of a small number of large food companies there should be a large number of small food companies. We're a bit obsessed with good food and passionate about connecting those that like to eat it with the people that make it. Learn more about our team.
Ever taste something you just couldn't wait to share? That's the idea behind Foodzie's Tasting Box: every month, a new package of delectable samples from independent food businesses arrive, just waiting to be discovered and devoured.
Foodzie is an curated marketplace of tasty treats. Searching by region, category, or brand, you can find and purchase directly from small, independent food producers. Photos and reviews only go so far, so last year, Foodzie started a monthly Tasting Box, putting together sample sized products from their artisans and delivering it to your door. Anything could appear in the box: kumquat fruit leather, plantain chips, green tea cupcakes, sumac sea salt. It makes a fabulous gift for the foodie on your list or a little present for yourself each month. You quickly wonder how you ever lived without horseradish dill mustard or pumpkin spice caramels.

I get the tasting box, and it's a lovely treat every month - the sample size items are typically large enough to really enjoy/try the product and often at least one of the items will be a full-size product.
I'm not sure if I would call this a budget gift though? I got in on the box in the first month, so I pay $15/month, but I believe the going rate for new subscriptions is $20/month. If you're getting someone a subscription for any number of months, that will add up super quickly. For more budget-oriented folks, I'd suggest selecting a few local foodie items from wherever you live and packaging them up yourself. This way it's clearly a one-time gift and not a subscription where you pay every month (plus, there's no pressure on the gift recipient to purchase the full-size item, you're already giving it to them).
The current subscription is actually $29.95 a month - for samples!?!? The subscription for gifting the box starts at 3 months, that is $89.85. I wold have signed up at the $15/month price that cupcakemuffin got, but not for double that.

Why Cable TV in Olema, CA
Many people in Olema, CA have cable TV. Here are a few reasons why. Cable offers hundreds of all-digital channels, HD programming, movies and On Demand entertainment. Cable TV service often comes with free HD DVRs for new customers. And installation is easy, because it requires less equipment than satellite.

How Olema Watches TV
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption.

Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Olema, CA Cable Internet

It has been on my tank for about 7 months with no issues. Great product By Jonathan on 9/1/2014 Jonathan would recommend this product to a friend It is nice to just sit back and relax whaching my tank knowing that I no l don't have to dose by hand any more. This pump works great and eassy to use. Keeps my levels stable and now I don't have to be worrying about dosing. amazing By Kevin on 8/23/2014 Kevin would recommend this product to a friend It feels great to test knowing your Alk and Cal are where they should be pump runs prefect at 1.1 ml per minute. i will put at least two of these on any of my systems i build. Great pump for 2 part dosing By Roman on 8/19/2014 Roman would recommend this product to a friend Great pump, highly recommend for 2 part dosing automation with reef timer or controller. It is a little bit noisier than I expected, however it helped me realize that my pump was on when it should't be running (due to old timer stuck in ON position), so I was able to quickly turn it off and avoid a disastrous CA overdose. exellent By babnika on 8/5/2014 babnika would recommend this product to a friend Why pay more for an inferior product? Simple, reliable, well built, nothing fancy to go wrong. This is a no brainer. Great product! By David on 7/30/2014 David would recommend this product to a friend I bought two of these to FINALLY stop dosing manually, next to my ATO this has been the best purchase I have made for my reef. They are simple and work great. Solid doser By Squareface on 7/25/2014 Squareface would recommend this product to a friend My dosing pump doses 0.85 ml per minute, instead of 1.1 ml. But, once you know the speed of the doser, it's all that matters. Except for this little problem, the pump is solid. It's something that seems to last. Excellent dosing pump By Jonathan on 7/16/2014 Jonathan would recommend this product to a friend I have two of these for CAL& ALK. Makes life so easy for tank care. Necessary buy, do not know what I would do without one. Accurate and easy to install and use. awesome By q on 7/16/2014 q would recommend this product to a friend brought 2 and working great. easy to set up Easy setup, definitely worth it if your dosing daily By John on 7/7/2014 John would recommend this product to a friend Once my calcium uptake started to require me to dose daily, I purchased two dosing pumps for 2-part dosing. Easy setup, easy adjusting. I am using two electronic timers, dosing once a day during the night, separating the Ca and Alk dosing times by several hours. I test my Ca and Alk levels at water change times, but have found that I rarely need to adjust the pumps once they are dialed in. Great dosing pumps! By Moni on 6/26/2014 Moni would recommend this product to a friend I got two of these a couple months ago, and they've been a great addition to my system. The pumps don't siphon, and can raise a good head of water with very consistent flow, which allowed me to put my dosing reservoirs in a closet away from my display tank. The dosing has been extremely consistent, making the water chemistry of my tank more stable than I ever thought it could be. Only problem was when I had a programming error with my controller, which left the pumps on for several hours and turned my tank into what looked like a bucket of milk. Certainly can't blame the pumps for that tho - they performed exactly as they should! So far so good By eric on 5/30/2014 eric would recommend this product to a friend Great pump for the money works great with the apex.

BMC Racing Team's Thor Hushovd is tied on time with Tour of Beijing Stage 2 winner Nacer Bouhanni (FDR.fr) Saturday, but slipped to second in the overall standings due to tie-breaker criteria.
'Too Many Places Back'
Hushovd finished 27th in the bunch sprint that Bouhanni won ahead of Roberto Ferrari (Lampre-Merida) and Mitchell Docker (Orica-GreenEDGE). Because Bouhanni had the lower total when adding up each rider's finishes on the first two stages, he pulled on the leader's red jersey. Hushovd said he was well-placed until the final kilometer. "I was too many places back and then tried to go and then I got boxed in so it was over," he said. "The team did a great job to control the breakaway. Unfortunately, we did a big effort and lost the stage and lost the jersey. But sometimes it's like this." The Norwegian national road champion – who won Friday's stage in a bunch sprint, said he likely will not get another shot at winning a stage until Tuesday's final, flat stage in the center of Beijing.
Hoping For Some Help
BMC Racing Team's Martin Kohler, Marco Pinotti and Larry Warbasse split duties on the front of the peloton for much of the 201.5-kilometer stage – the longest of the five-day race – to help keep a five-man breakaway in check. "Our goal today was to control the race in a way to not go crazy," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said. "It happened pretty well that five guys went and we kept them in range – four or five minutes. I am happy with the way the team rode." Kohler said he was hoping some of the teams with sprinters would help with the chase. The last of the escapees was brought back with 10 km of the finish. "But they really didn't do this," he said. "Only in the last 20 kilometers did we get help of another guy. Therefore, it was a pretty hard day."

Mayor Mitchell Bagley said some of the projects within the plan included mandatory updating of the city's traffic and street signs, patching the city's roads, acquiring security cameras for the city hall building and constructing a playground near the city's pavilion.
Bagley said the playground is a project the council has wanted for a long time.
"I didn't realize they [wanted] it, and during my campaign, that was something I mentioned in my door-to-door. Once I was elected the ladies presented it to me, too, so I thought, 'That took the words right out of my mouth,'" he said.
The council also approved a franchise fee agreement with Georgia Power. Taylorsville's agreement is set at 4 percent for 35 years, Bagley said.
He added it was 15 years longer than Euharlee's recent agreement with the utility company, but he was unsure why.
Boyd Pettit, who is the city attorney for both Taylorsville and Euharlee, said 35 years is the standard length for a new franchise fee agreement. Taylorsville's agreement had been expired for one year, Pettit said, which meant the city was essentially signing a new agreement. In contrast, Euharlee renewed its agreement, which has a standard 20-year term.
The Taylorsville City Council's next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. at the old county firehouse.

Starry Night
Thanksgiving is on its way and for most this means various bottles of wine being popped open while cooking, while eating and while digesting dinner. And while I've given you one very seasonal cocktail with the Ignis Fatuus, I feel that another is in order. Given that someone is bound to bring a bottle of Chardonnay to your soiree, why don't you show off and make a cocktail with their grape juice and be as big of a star as the turkey.
I present for you, a:
2 oz chardonnay
½ oz Poire Williams (pear eau-de-vie)
½ oz maraschino liqueur
stir and strain into a cocktail glass
garnish with star anise
While the star anise in this cocktail is more for décor, it does lend a very slight flavor to this drink the longer that it sits in the glass. The anise and pear work wonders together, so sip this one slowly as the flavours do change as the cocktail warms up, and while it is true that for most cocktails this is not a good thing, the temperature change actually works with this cocktail.

This sounds delightful. Great pic, too!
Do you have a recommendation as to what style of Chardonnay would work best?

The Daffodil Project
Lynden B. Miller, with her far-flung public landscape projects, is the dynamo responsible for helping to improve the quality of life for 8 million New York City residents. But on September 11, 2001, as she watched the smoke rising from the ruins of the World Trade Center, she was beside herself with grief. Then, in her darkest hour, the fax machine started chattering with an offer from a Dutch bulb grower/friend: "What can I do to help?" In Lynden's Connecticut garden, a long strip of daffodils pops up every spring as a symbol of hope. So she didn't miss a beat. "Do you have any extra daffodils?"
Read on for the rest of Lynden's story.
The Daffodil Project
When New York harbor finally reopened late that September, one of the first ships to come in was laden with a million daffodil bulbs for the city. "Let's plant them in places that haven't seen a flower in years," the no-neighborhood-left-behind garden designer decided. Ten thousand volunteers came to help get those bulbs in the ground. The next spring, New York City was circled in golden blossoms. And it didn't stop there. The Daffodil Project—as it's now called—is responsible for planting 5 million bulbs to date. Lynden's goal is to ultimately plant 8 million daffodils—one for every New York resident.
