Every time we go on a family road trip, it never fails: we receive a warning from our wireless carrier that we're about to blow through our monthly data allowance. It's easy to point the finger: my kids are in the back seat watching YouTube videos or endless loops of some inane six-second Vine on their smartphones while the countryside rolls by.
They think nothing of taking their data-devouring lifestyles on the go. Kids expect Wi-Fi devices to work seamlessly, whether at home or in the back seat of a car. We grown-ups know all too well that it's expensive and not easy trying to stay connected in our vehicles. There are cords to plug in, codes to enter and layers of commands to perform most tasks. Not to mention the frustration from dropped calls, slow connections and choppy video.
In my family, the kids have nicer phones than the parents so they generally get better download speeds on their 4G devices. Still, watching video on a tiny phone screen strains even the littlest eyes. A tablet is better, but like 90 percent of people who own one, ours only works with a WiFi connection, which does us no good in the car. We've tried turning one of our phones into a WiFi hotspot, but it's a hassle, and quickly drains the battery.
Which explains why kids (and their parents, too) are going to love the high-speed mobile hotspot built in to most 2015 Chevrolet models this fall, starting with the family-friendly Chevy Malibu. is the first automaker to offer 4G LTE wireless service across its lineup of cars, trucks and SUVs. Cadillac, Buick and GMC vehicles will have it too -- 30 models in all. So far, only one other vehicle, the A3, is available with a built-in 4G LTE connection.
4G LTE (which stands for Fourth Generation / Long Term Evolution) is the next stage in mobile network development and provides users with much faster data speeds than 3G. It's essentially a bigger pipe, allowing large amounts of data to flow more quickly into your smartphone, tablet or laptop.
GM is partnering with to provide 4G LTE service through its Onstar subsidiary. Because it's embedded into Onstar's high-powered antenna and operates any time the car is on, you'll get a more robust 4G connection in and around the car without draining a mobile device's battery. Passengers can connect as many as seven devices to the car, making it faster and easier to surf the Web, stream live video, or get improved access to Onstar services like vehicle diagnostics and remote vehicle access. A stronger data connection opens up all kinds of new possibilities for enhanced digital services, which could provide a nice additional revenue stream for GM and Onstar.
The 4G LTE service will be offered free for three months, or three gigabytes, whichever comes first. After that, you can pick from a variety of pricing options. The simplest choice, if you have an AT&T mobile share plan, is to just add your car as another "device" for $10 per month. If you're a non-AT&T customer, you can pay as little as $5 a month for 200 MB ($10 if you're not already an Onstar subscriber.) For $50, you can get 5 GB of data. That's good for about five hours of streaming video in the car. If you're using it for work, 5 GB will let you send or receive 2,000 emails with attachments plus another 200 hours surfing the Web. (Check out AT&T's data calculator here.)
Given that Onstar subscribers are already shelling out $19.95 per month for its Safe and Sound plan, or $29.90 for the enhanced plan with turn-by-turn navigation, another $50 a month for high-speed WiFi stretches the budget. I'd be more inclined to go with a one-day purchase of 250 MB for $5, or a one-year purchase of 10 GB for $150 ($200 for non-Onstar subscribers). Then, WiFi access is a special treat on a long road trip, not an everyday luxury.
Of course, if you're a contractor running your business out of your truck, it's an entirely different story. For such people, having a WiFi connection in the vehicle can be an enormous time-saver and well worth the money.
To see if GM's new 4G LTE service lived up to the hype, I drove a 2015 Malibu with a mobile hotspot on a recent family trip to the northern reaches of Michigan. I was impressed with how easy it was to connect our various devices (push the Onstar data button on the mirror, and the network password pops up on the dashboard's large display screen. Then, find the "Malibu" network on your device and type in the password. Voila!)
I was also impressed with the connection speeds -- until we got into the rural, less populated areas of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. AT&T's 4G LTE network just isn't as robust in those more remote areas, something I knew going in by looking at their coverage map. For most of the trip, however, the service worked great.
While my husband drove north along I-75, toward the Mackinac Bridge, I was able to quickly search and book airline tickets on my laptop, while my daughter checked out her favorite YouTube characters on her iPhone. Later, while I was driving, my husband experimented by streaming live radio and playing a video clip on his laptop at the same time. No problem.
If you like to surf the Web and especially stream video, having 4G in the car is heaven. But making it easier for my family to go online while we're on the road is only going to encourage them to do more of it. And that means they'll just burn through our data plan even faster.

Outstanding 4.8 /5 from 46 reviews
We really enjoyed our stay , everyone was very friendly and helpful. Great resort to relax, not to far from the city.
The hotel is only a few minutes outside of Florence, and the rooms have a nice view of the valley and the city. The staff...is...AMAZING. For such a small boutique property you could forgive them if they were understaffed or overwhelmed, but they are very well staffed and have a fantastic attitude in serving their guests. 5 Stars there! The rooms are modern, spacious (wow, in Europe, elbow room?) and the air conditioning worked perfectly and quietly. Dinner was also absolutely amazing, made in their small outdoor kitchen just for guests only. We will absolutely be back!
They do serve food onsite by their pool and it is really good and fit for foodies. The views are spectacular and staff is friendly and very helpful. They all speak English too.
Beautiful place. Very unique. Definitely worth staying outside city center for those views! Staff was very nice and accommodating. However it is a small resort so at times there was nobody at the front desk for example. And we had breathtaking views from our balcony, but I think because of the balcony we also had some ants in our room. All in all one of the best hotels I've stayed.
Amazing! Most unique, beautifuly situated hotel, above Florence with a full view of the city Staff professional and eager with service, superb breaksfast

Obama apologizes for Quran burning
KABUL President Barack Obama apologized to Afghans on Thursday for the burning of Qurans at a U.S. military base, trying to assuage rising anti-American sentiment as an Afghan soldier gunned down two American troops during another day of angry protests.
The U.S.-led military coalition says the Muslim holy books were sent by mistake to a garbage burn pit at Bagram Air Field and the case is under investigation. The explanation and multiple apologies from U.S. officials have yet to calm outrage over the incident, which has heightened tension between international troops and their Afghan partners.
Thousands of protesters, some shouting "Long live Islam!" and "Death to America!" staged demonstrations across Afghanistan for a third day. Protesters climbed the walls of a U.S. base in the east, threw stones in and adorned an outside wall with the Taliban's trademark white flag.
At other sites, demonstrators burned tires or American flags. Afghan police and international troops fired guns in the air to disperse the crowds.
At least five demonstrators died in clashes with Afghan security forces. A Norwegian soldier was hit by a grenade. On Wednesday, six died.
The unrest comes as President Hamid Karzai is trying to reach a deal to govern the activities of U.S. forces after 2014, when most foreign troops will have left.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama's apology was "appropriate given the sensitivity" of the issue. Such apologies are rare, but he noted that press secretary Dana Perino apologized on behalf of President George W. Bush after a U.S. serviceman shot a Quran in 2008.

If one mentions Essex in the presence of another who has visited this charming seaport village, there is sure to be mention of The Griswold Inn accompanied by a pleasant smile and perhaps the sharing of a fond remembrance. The "Gris", located in the heart of this historic hamlet, is what Essex is all about. Warm... Spirited... Comfortable. One can enjoy the camaraderie in its award-winning Tap Room; relish a well-prepared meal surrounded by museum-quality maritime art in one of its historic dining rooms; experience the stunning new Wine Bar with its innovative "small plate" menu and offering of over 50 wines by the glass; or curl up with a good book and simply relax in this lovely retreat. There is also much to do right outside the front door. Mere steps from the Inn are the majestic Connecticut River and the Connecticut River Museum, along with marinas, unique shops, galleries and historic homes. Use the Inn as "Home Base" and explore the Connecticut Shoreline with its many attractions: discover great shopping, cultural activities and the natural beauty for which this area is known. If it's gaming you're after, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos are within easy reach.

My Partner and I stayed at the "Gris" in November 2015. We thoroughly enjoyed both the stunning town and the historic Inn. I was intrigued by the fact that the history of the town was recorded in an almost self deprecating manner. Praising the British raid for its well organised and planned raid. A very refreshing attitude. The Inn provided an extremely welcoming atmosphere and I must congratulate all the staff who went out of their way to ensure we had a very pleasant stay. Thank you Essex.

We were upgraded to the suite because we came on a weekday and they had availability. The inn was quaint and enjoyable. We enjoyed appetizers at the bar next door then wandered into the parlor for live blues music. Highly recommend the oldest running inn in America.

The Insurance Law Blog has been following decisions related to hydraulic fracturing for potential impacts on insurance coverage issues. As we previously reported in May 2013, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, upheld two zoning ordinances passed in 2011 by the Towns of Dryden and Middlefield, New York, which prohibited the exploration and production of natural gas and petroleum – including hydraulic fracturing, or hydrofracking. On June 30, 2014, the New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's ruling finding that the New York Oil, Gas and Solution Mining Law's ("OGSML") supersession clause does not preempt "home rule" authority vested in the Towns to regulate land use.
In Matter of Mark Wallach, as Chapter 7 Trustee for Norse Energy Corp. USA, v. Town of Dryden, et al., and Cooperstown Holstein Corp., v. Town of Middlefield, – N.Y.3d –, (June 30, 2014), the New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Divisions' May 2013 decision upholding summary judgment in favor of Dryden and Middlefield which passed zoning ordinances banning natural gas and petroleum production operations. The ordinances were established in 2011, and subsequently challenged by natural gas exploration companies alleging that the ordinances were preempted by the OGSML which, among other things, regulates the production and storage of oil and natural gas. The trial courts disagreed with the production companies' preemption arguments, and granted cross-motions for summary judgment in favor of the Towns because the zoning ordinances in question only limit the use of land and do not attempt to regulate the manner in which oil and gas is extracted under the OGSML. The Third Department affirmed in May 2013, finding that the OGSML does not expressly preempt the local zoning regulations which did not limit the methods and means of mining proscribed by the OGSML, but merely limited where mining could occur. Thus, the local zoning ordinances at issue were reasonable uses of the Towns' home rule powers established pursuant to Article 9 of the New York Constitution.
In its opinion, the Court of Appeals affirmed finding that the OGSML's supersession clause does not preempt the Town's home rule power to regulate industrial land use, preserve a communities' characteristics, and protect the health, safety and welfare of the community as a whole. In particular, the Court of Appeals rejected the appellants' arguments based on a three-pronged test previously discussed in Matter of Frew Run Gravel Prods. v. Town of Carroll, 71 N.Y. 2d 126 (1987). In Frew Run, the Court of Appeals found that the Town of Carroll's ordinance which restricted mining operations from a certain portion of the Town did not conflict with the Mined Land Reclamation Law (MLRL). The Court of Appeals analyzed the plain language of the MLRL's supersession clause, the statutory scheme of the MLRL as whole, and the MLRL's legislative history to determine if the ordinance interfered with the MLRL. The Court of Appeals found that the MLRL did not preempt a town's ability to regulate land use because the New York Legislature passed the MLRL to regulate only the means and methods of extractive mining operations, and not where those operations could occur.
Here, the Court of Appeals applied the test in Frew Run and found that the plain language of the OGSML's supersession clause, the statutory scheme as a whole, and the legislative history only focus on regulating the means and methods of gas, oil, and mining operations and not the location of where such operations could occur. Therefore, the OGSML does not preempt the Towns' home rule power to regulate land use and exclude gas and oil production operations.
The Court of Appeals also rejected the appellants' secondary argument. In this regard, the appellants argued that land use ordinances may only limit hydrofracking operations from certain portions of the Towns (i.e., residential areas) because a complete ban would run afoul of the OGSML and essentially, regulate the oil and gas industry. The Court of Appeals disagreed, relying on Matter of Gernatt Asphalt Prods. v. Town of Sardinia, 87 N.Y.2d 668 (2006), a decision that follows Frew Run. In Gernatt Asphalt, the Town of Sardinia amended its zoning ordinance to prohibit all mining operations following the New York State Legislature's revision of the MLRL in accordance with Frew Run. As a result of the Town's amendment, a mining operator challenged the prohibition based on the MLRL's supersession clause. The Court of Appeals rejected the mining company's challenge, finding that nothing in Frew Run or the MLRL obligates a town to permit mining just because minerals are available to be mined as a natural resource.
The Court of Appeals found that the restrictions at issue here are no different in substance to the ordinances passed by the Town of Sardinia and upheld in Gernatt Asphalt. In addition, Dryden and Middlefield acted reasonably because they each studied the potential negative effects that hydrofracking may have on the character of their respective communities prior to enacting the ordinances.

Anyway, Amie and I did find a patch of blueberries which grew on very low bushes (like crawl on your hands and knees low) and I stuffed myself before taking handfuls back to our family. The girl on the beach with her dog (yes, she has a name) had recommended we stop at Shirleys in Souris for a milkshake. We sailed ...

Trying to slap mosquitos while roasting marshmallows is somewhat dangerous (particularly if you try to slap with the hand holding the roasting stick) and distracting (several went up in flames) and lethal (should you slap with the hand holding a flaming marshmallow at the end of a stick).

Now, the big decision--to come back to the golf course for the best ever oysters Rockefeller and mussels or Eden's Gate for the seafood chowder--and we have another restaurant to try in town, Clamdiggers, and we haven't tried the Georgetown Inn's restaurant!! Decisions, decisions!! We were so full, that we all passed on dessert--a big decision in and of itself!!
We returned to the inn, and agreed to meet at breakfast (served between 8-9). See you at breakfast!!

... Prince Edward Island's greatest asset (as I see it) is her raw beauty. Fields of wildflowers, forests of pine and birch, neat rows of crops that stretch in bright green lines to the sea. And then there is the sea itself. We spent a lot of time driving the coastal roads and it seems that at every turn you get a glimpse of the sparking blue waters. I have to say, that my favorite part are the red dirt roads that wind through the country side. I could spend hours ...

Maryland Adopts The International Green Construction Code
The International Green Construction Code (IGCC) has found its first home. Maryland has passed a bill that will authorize use of the IGCC as a voluntary compliance alternative in 2012.
The new law will go into effect on March 1, 2012. The IGCC bill (House Bill 972) passed through the state's legislature with rampant success. The Senate approved the bill unanimously and the House passed it with a 121 to 18 vote.
The IGCC will serve as a supplement to the minimum building code applied in each jurisdiction (for the most part, the IBC). State and local building authorities will be authorized to implement the IGCC for all private and public construction.
According to our good friend Stuart Kaplow, a green industries attorney in Baltimore, the IGCC and Maryland were a perfect match. From his recent E-Real Estate Brief newsletter:
It is not surprising the IGCC found Maryland fertile ground. Relative to its population, Maryland has more LEED® projects than any other state. The first certified LEED Platinum building was in Maryland. Maryland was one of the first states to offer a green building tax credit in 2001. Today, 14 local governments in Maryland have enacted a LEED based green building initiative, including several that have mandatory green building laws imposed on private building. Maryland will now be the first state to enable local governments to implement the IGCC, as a voluntary compliance alternative.
I'm very excited to see whether this serves as a launching pad for more adoption. Last year, Rhode Island approved use of the IGCC, but limited its use to particular projects. After Rhode Island took that action, there was a lull without any new adoptions. Perhaps Maryland's unlimited adoption will spur interest from other jurisdictions. We will just have to wait and see.

"I think the citizens would have some sympathy for (increasing legislative pay) if they saw their legislators listening to their concerns and doing a good job. And when a top legislative priority is taking away the rights of citizens to participate in the initiative process, they don't want to reward that."
Related quotes
"Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity."
"Sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of sympathy in the world, sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain."
"Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
"We find nothing easier than being wise, patient, superior. We drip with the oil of forbearance and sympathy, we are absurdly just, we forgive everything. For that very reason we ought to discipline ourselves a little; for that very reason we ought to cultivate a little emotion, a little emotional vice, from time to time. It may be hard for us; and among ourselves we may perhaps laugh at the appearance we thus present. But what of that! We no longer have any other mode of self-overcoming available to us: this is our asceticism, our penance."
"Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief."

Traditional Tourtiere
Total Time
Prep 0 mins
Cook 0 mins
Recipe for individual meat pies [tortieres], popular in Quebec in the Christmas season. The Tourtiere is usually made like a casserole or pie. I don't see any reason why you couldn't make them into "individual" pies, but adjustments would have to be made in the cooking times.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs duck, boned and diced
- 1⁄2 lb veal, diced
- 1⁄2 lb beef, diced
- 1⁄2 lb lean pork, diced
- 1⁄4 lb salt pork, chopped
- 3 small onions, chopped
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄8 teaspoon clove
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- to taste pastry for double-crust pie
- 3 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups boiling water
- The night before, combine the first 13 ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and let rest overnight in the refrigerator.
- The next day, prepare potatoes and then prepare pastry.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Use 2/3 of pastry to line the bottom (not the sides) of a 4 to 4-1/2 quart coverable pot.
- Add potatoes to the meat mixture. Pour mixture into pastry lined pot. Add boiling water.
- Roll remaining 1/3 pastry and cover mixture. Make slits to allow steam to escape. Bake, uncovered, until top is golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Cover, reduce oven to 300 degree F, and continue baking for another 5 hours, until meats are tender.
- Uncover and let rest about 5 minutes.
- Serve hot.

I am also French from Quebec and we know this recipe as Tourtiere du Lac St-Jean, which is not the same as the Tourtiere du Saguenay, nor the Tourtiere, which is most like an ordinary spiced meat pie. In the Christmas and New Year period, all are good, served with love and eaten among friends and family.
Was very good.
I am French Canadian from Lake St-John in the Quebec Province. Finally, this is an authentic tourtiere--not like the ones I read previously. Most of the time people send their recipe for Meat Pie and they call it Tourtiere. My recipe is similar to yours, except I use chicken instead of duck and I mix the diced potatoes with the meat mixture before leaving it in the fridge overnight. I also cover the bottom AND sides of a large, deep pot with the pastry and cover the mixture with a top pastry then seal the edges. Don't forget to make slits in top pasty for steam to escape. If you don't have a cover for the pot, use aluminum foil. The rest of the recipe is pretty much like mine. My German and American friends still demand that I cook this recipe whenever I receive them--any time of the year. I didn't try yours, but it is so similar to mine that it must be as good. Thank you, Frank! From: Germaine January 4th, 2008

Google Calendar is not Syncing.
Update; It's funny 'cause as soon as I post here Google Search finally finds the answer.
This is what I found and fixed it, "To make your calendar visible open it click on today and make sure the account you are tying to sync is white not tan in color. If it tan just tap it and it will change color then select month view and your appointments should be there."
Google Calendar is not syncing. Already added my account. But nothing that I add to the calendar from other devices and or pcs doesn't show up. My nexus 4 calendar works OK.

What grades middle-schoolers earn on their report cards is less important than whether they have mastered key skills, concepts and work behaviors, sixth-grade teacher Bill Ferriter writes in this blog post. Ferriter suggests parents set an expectation that lower grades will mean their child will have extra, nongraded work to do at home to learn the material. "Instead of being angry about a score that doesn't meet your expectations, use that score as a starting point for conversations with your child," Ferriter writes.

A few stray stars showed up for the Academy of Televison Arts and Sciences party to honor the Emmy nominees at the Pacific Design Center Friday night.
"Rescue Me" star Denis Leary wandered in with his wife Ann. The couple looked around horrified and grabbed a quick nibble from the seafood bar. Cloris Leachman did a longer seated chow down and Jane Kaczmarek ran in and out at the last minute.
This made the highlight of the party the official Emmy sponsor Dove Chocolate display – spinning chocolate trays and a box that opened like a snapping treasure chest – complete with bags for guests to scoop up lotsa chocolate and take it home to stuff their faces.
The far more star-studded affair that night was the Gersh Agency's annual Emmy nominee bash at the Sunset Towers, sponsored by the numero uno high-end tequila Grand Centenario.
Held out by the pool overlooking the twinkle lights of LA, the movers-and-shakers mixer honored Gersh's big E nominees Debra Messing, Chris Meloni, Elizabeth Perkins, Kyra Sedgwick, Megan Mullally, Kelly MacDonald, and Jeffrey Tambor, along with several "Project Runway" designers such as Nick, Santino, and Raymundo.
Also enjoying the view:, Mary McCormack, Holland Taylor, James Vanderbeek, Balthazar Getty, Kevin Bacon, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Nealon, Jonathan Silverman, Robin Tunney. Blythe Danner, who's not even with the agency, came by to catch up with Messing. Which makes sense. Remember she played Will's Mom on "Will and Grace" and they've both won Women in Film Lucy Awards.
Messing, chatting with Santino, introduced the fledging fashion force to Warren Littlefield, former head of NBC, saying, "And now I want you to meet the man who responsible for my entire career." At which point, a grateful Santino hugged Littlefield.
Gosh, moments like those are just priceless.
"The Girl in the Cafe" nominee MacDonald ("Nanny McPhee") told me that her dress that night – a sweet, old-fashioned beige frock – cost just $9.99. Turns out it was purchased in a little clothing shop in New Mexico and reworked by costume designer Mary Zophres on MacDonald's just-wrapped Cohen brothers film, "No Country for Old Men."
The film, based on a Cormac McCarthy novel, stars Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones and Woody Harrelson. "Yeah, I know," Kelly said, with that adorable Scottish lilt. "What a bunch of no-talents."
At the Emmys, Kelly will wear a slightly more upscale frock from Elsie Katz Couture. "They were so lovely and showed me two dresses. The first was kind of a white flapper dress and it was very pretty but the alternate was the one I really loved."
And no, I'm not going to spoil the surprise and give away any more details. You'll just have to watch the show to see it.

Hi Everyone
I am new at this whole forum thing but would like some advice from people who are suffering/have suffered the same as myself.
I was first diagnosed with Endo at the age of 14 and I had my first lap and removal of cysts from the ovaries. I was told at that stage that there was no way of knowing if I would be infertile until I started trying to conceive.
Everything was great in the Endo dept for approx.14 years when it came back with a vengeance. I had a lap again and removal of more cysts 3 yrs ago.
1.5yrs ago again it was back but this time I had a salpingectomy and excision of severe Endo.
It was discovered 3 months ago that my Endo is back and it's strangling my bowel, I have a chocolate cyst on my ovary and all of my insides are stuck to my bowel so I am having surgery in July with both the gynae and a colorectal surgeon.
All I want is to have a family, so bad! Has anyone had the same or a similar experience and had the fortune to have a family? We have been told that our chances are extremely slim and our only hope is likely to be am egg donor, even IVF would hold a slim chance.
All opinions, thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.

The Universe is old. 13.798 billion years old, to be precise (give or take about 37 million years or so). That's so old, it's genuinely a little tricky to wrap your head around – 200 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed … Continue reading

Pros: Ran at advertised settings with no hiccups....
Cons: After about 9 months computer started locking up at the boot screen. After resetting the cmos and moving the sticks around and using a spare 512mb stick i found out that both sticks were bad. I returned them to mushkin hoping for an easy exchange now I'm being told they were discontinued and they can offer me other sets that are much cheaper than what i paid if i spend another 50 bucks.. Dont buy this ram.. I wish i would have looked into it more when i built my computer...READ FULL REVIEW

We stayed one night. The reason we were even in the area was because of the 100 mile run to raise funds for the Hennipen Canal. There is a walking/biking trail all along the Canal which we enjoyed. They delivered a fire ring and wood to our campsite. The firewood was $6. The two children with us enjoyed riding the rented go cart type pedal bikes and the playground. Our site was very easy to drive into being a pull through and it was level. It looked like there were a few long-term residents. - Sunnie-Wheelhouse

Owners very friendly. Was extremely hot in August when I hooked up and electric kept cutting off. Advised office and before I could walk back to RV, there was already someone there to help me. Neighbors let me borrow a 50Amp extension cord to hookup to a vacant spot so I could run my AC for my dogs while the maintenance person fixed my electric box. Site was a bit muddy with ruts and they came and filled in with gravel the day I arrived. The WiFi is iffy. I did not use any facilities at the park. The trail that runs next to the canal is right next to the RV park and is excellent for walking, jogging or riding a bike. It goes on for miles. I will definitely return. - Rascal123

A nice park located in a beautiful area, the drive to the campground is stunning. We where just staying one night so left the toad on, the sewer was at the back and took two hoses to reach. The turns in to our site where very tight and it was difficult to get into. Check in was easy and they where friendly. - sjones

We camped here for a month and loved it. We were parked at the end of the row so had plenty of space. So nice to not be in the middle of retail madness yet only 20 minutes to the grocery and mall. We were here before the peak season began and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. Super friendly staff and helpful with any needs. Plaza has a great laundry, gym, and game room along with many other cool things. Very clean showers and restrooms. Roads and sites are paved which is perfect for rollerblading and biking. Also, has a nice playground for the kids to enjoy. Beautiful view of the lake. Hopefully, we are back in the area. Would love to stay again. - Sarina Thomas

This gated park was very clean and was easy to maneuver around with a large rig. The office staff was super friendly, as were the people who worked on the grounds. We stayed here for several weeks during August and September, and chose this particular place because of all the amenities and activities it listed online. We arrived on a weekend and there was a ton going on and we thought it was perfect. But then on Monday we found out that everything is closed during the week. The snack bar and store opened on Friday night and closed on Sunday afternoon, and the hours on those days were quite limited. From Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon it was like a ghost town, which is something the kids and I did not enjoy. There are many, many insects, especially mosquitos and flies, which made it almost impossible to sit or play outside after 5 pm. And if you need anything, it is a thirty minute ride to the nearest grocery store. If you have kids, this is a great place for a weekend stay, but not an extended one. We camped here in a fifth wheel. - NomadFamily

Thank god for Coast to Coast or we would not have stayed here for $72 a night. Nothing here worth that much money. The grounds are very well kept but the staff can not keep up with the trash that some day use people leave behind. The internet is fair at best even in the Plaza where they day the have free internet. If you can get connected you are doing good. The sites are narrow with a grassy area in between you and the other campers. The lake is pretty if you look past the over growth of algae that is growing on all of the ponds and the large lake. We were in a 31 ft motor home with a 20 ft tow, the site was very large and could handle us. Nice park but if it was not for Coast to Coast I would not stay here. - Walter Pfiitze

The park now is owned by the City of Colona and is renamed Colona Scott Family Park. Staff is very friendly. There are lots of sites, and many are occupied by the season. Daily rate of$30.00 seems high as there is only a central dump and no cable TV. Honey wagon service is $10.00. Coin laundry is good. Quite crowded holiday weekends. Convenient to Quad Cities. After heavy rain, small lakes are formed on sites and roads. A few sites are narrow for slideouts. - Bill Strong

Wonderful, well kept campground on Mississippi River. Sites are a bit small, but it wasn't crowded so every other site left plenty of space. This time of year it is heavy with fish flies; be ready to have a campfire to keep them away. Very nice bike path runs through the campground which you can ride for 10 to 20 miles in either direction. Nice location, we would stay here again for a weekend. - lc47

Technically, I should probably give this a little lower rating - because of no sewer hook-up and unlevel sites - but it was one of our favorite stops, so...! We extended our stay and were loathe to leave. It's a very pretty park, right along the MS River, with nice 50 amp sites for an unbelievably low price!! There's also a nice bike trail that runs right through the park and alongside the river. We got a little confused getting here - turns out there's an exit off the I-80 (Exit #1) onto Route 84 that takes you straight to the park! Somehow our GPS had other ideas... Also, it's not obvious where to go when you first get here. The campground is on the river side (there is more of the park across the road for picnicking, etc.). Just go "straight" on the main road till you get to the office (a ways in). If no one is there, just pick out your spot and pay them when they get back. We would definitely stay here again if in the area! - CarrieBearie

Very nice COE Park. Great price. Concrete long pad for our 40' MH. Back- in but room for Toad. Site 28. I pulled into another long site, camp hosts were off duty then . The site post showed no reservation for that night. I call government phone number listed. I was told the site was reserved for that night so move to another site. I paid the camp host later and told them about the site change. They said that first site was not reserved for that night . The on site management seems to have a better idea about the campground than the government reservation phone system. We stayed one night. We would return. Camp hosts were nice. 50 amp service. We did not have need for other amenities Close to Interstate Hwy. but quiet. - JAWS

Found an open space large enough for us: very nice. Lots are spacious and offer some shade. Site surface was a concrete pad, featuring a fire ring and picnic table. Friendly staff and very helpful.
Ranger came by and told us rain is expected: not leave our carpet and items out. Might flash flood and it will all wash away. We are safe but our items may wash away. - D'art campizard

Spent one night here. Very nice COE park right on the Mississippi River. Price reflects Senior Pass Discount. Sure was cement, level but close to the road. Site was not long enough for us to park our Jeep on but there was extra parking spaces right across from our site. Electric hookup only.
Park rangers made passes through frequently and were available for questions when the park kiosk was closed. Some sites have a view of the river. Lots of mature trees. - Darcan

This park is mostly all seasonal campers. It's located right on the river in a picturesque setting. We called ahead and the staff said they had 2 pull-thru sites. When we arrived we were greeted by unprofessional and poorly dressed staff person. After looking at the supposedly pull-thru sites we decided not to stay. The sites are small, low, poorly maintained and not pull-thru. Would not ever go back. - fratney51

Picturesque park on the Mississippi. Our site was 50 yards from the river. Beautiful wooded campground with grass sites. A cabin is available to rent, also.

This is a beautiful campground. It is nestled among rolling hills and has several short trails for walking. Each site comes with a picnic table and a fire pit. There are a few attractions very nearby that we visited and enjoyed greatly: the Round Red Barn and the Francis house in the nearby Francis Park and campground. The nightly rate listed is based upon being 62 years older. The only reason I did not give the park a 10 rating was because of some unlevel walking areas around the campsites. You do have to be careful not to twist an ankle. The campground hosts were very friendly and very helpful. Overall, the park is wonderful, and we would definitely camp here again. - campers5350

Took our first ever camping trip to Johnson Sauk Trail Park for Columbus Day weekend. It must be a good place because it was over half full, even though the weather was very cold and overcast. Site was nice and roomy, and pretty level. I used leveling jacks, but it would have been tolerable without. Lots of nice trails for the kids to explore. The bathrooms were nice and clean. The only drawback was no hot water. Great getaway 20 miles from home. Our site had plenty of room for our 37' MH. Some of the sites would not. About half the sites may be reserved. Rate posted is basic rate. We paid extra $5 fee to reserve online. - Jagnweiner

A great campground right on the river, with a lot of things to do. Great fishing, has boat slips (docks?) if you have a boat (I do not), and you can rent boats or paddle boats. Right next to the Eco Tourism center, which has lots of neat things going on.
Avoid when raining, as the entire campground turns into a big mud puddle. Also can be very buggy. - David Johnson

This is a county park. It is on a backwater of the Mississippi River. It is a marina in addition to being a campground. The marina business was very busy during our stay. We stayed in site #65 right on the water. Due to the slow-moving water, there were lots of mosquitoes, so staying outside was a challenge. We wanted to stay in a place right on the Mississippi and we couldn't tell about this place looking at the map. Sites are electric only. There are lots of trees so maneuvering a big rig would be problematic. Bargain price. The showers are a long hike from many of the campsites so we didn't try them. There are pit toilets scattered around and we didn't try them either. In the future, we'd plan a little better and choose another campground. It seemed like mostly locals were staying there. - NancyB

Nice Park. Ok Big rig access. I reserved this site through the KOA web Site did not see the buton "Campground specials". Stayed Sunday Night until Thursday morning. Paid for 4 nights. The Campground special is stay Sunday through Wednesday and Tuesday is free, However you can not get this special unless you input the special code in the website or mention it on the phone when you make the reservation. If you pay without mentioning the special they will not give it to your after the fact. - Bill1114

This is an older KOA and very expensive. The Quad Cities do not have many private campgrounds and the other (Interstate in Davenport) is also expensive. This is adequate for short stays. Roads are quite narrow. If this campground were full, everyone would be very close, and driving the roads would be a challenge. There are a couple of lakes here and the campground is in the trees so the light industry in the area is not visible. - AirstreamGene

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- There were times in the spring where Brandon Pettigrew would be in the huddling, listening, waiting and waiting some more for the quarterback to finish calling the play.
This year with the Detroit Lions, one of the biggest transitions for the offense has not been picking up the actual offense, but understanding all of the words associated with almost every call Matthew Stafford, Dan Orlovsky or Kellen Moore has had to make.
What might have been four or five words before has now become eight or nine in the huddles. And while every word is important, there are times it can drag on a little bit. For receivers and running backs and tight ends, it hasn't been that much of a change. However, for the quarterbacks, it can be a bit much to understand and then spit out.
"They are the ones that actually have to say the terminology," Pettigrew said. "Especially if it's a long play call, they have to actually spit it out and a lot of times we're just listening so we can hear it coming and we know what's about to be said, they actually have to get it all the way out. They can't just halfway say it because we know what's coming."
This is part of the spring and early training camp for the Lions, which begins Monday with the first practice. Short hand is not allowed. This is all necessary, though, as the Lions are trying to make sure their offense is a bit more explosive this season.
From what Pettigrew has seen in the fall and hopes for during the season, the moves Detroit made -- including re-signing the tight end -- should make for a more dynamic offense once the play calls and verbiage become instinctual instead of a learning process.
It should also shift Pettigrew's role. Last season, he played everywhere -- from the slot to on the line -- and occasionally lined up outside depending on the formation. New offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi should at least have something similar as far as movement, if not more.
Pettigrew indicated there are a lot more plays in this offensive scheme than the one run the past five seasons by Scott Linehan, now with Dallas. A lot of it has to do with the same plays being run with either different positioning for players or differing personnel on the field.
And Pettigrew anticipates more coming once training camp really gets going -- although he isn't sure exactly what that means for him.
"We've got three or four guys at tight end, got receivers," Pettigrew said. "I'm not sure fully what the plan is but whatever it is, it's going to be awesome regardless."

Police: Check Your Mailbox to Avoid Theft of W-2 Forms
With tax season quickly approaching, authorities are reminding you to be alert of mail theft.
With tax season quickly approaching, authorities are reminding you to be alert of mail theft.
When it's tax season, the crooks come out to play. Here's a friendly reminder from our neighborhood police department.
Amount of income, number of deductions, total receipts, amount of times you banged your head on the table: April is the month of figures.
If the amount of money in your bank account and number on your tax return are making you crazy, take a break, take a breath and distract yourself with some of these numbers from the IRS.
Everyone knows that filing your taxes can be a huge headache. While it can be a pain, it's definitely not something you want to take lightly.
So, you think you're ready to file your taxes, huh? Well, not so fast.
Tax season isn't fun for anyone. While filing your taxes means digging through shoeboxes of receipts, guessing at what number goes on which line and and pounding your head against real or imaginary walls, it can be even worse.
Luckily there are a few great apps that can help ease the frustration of tax time. This year, let your phone save you some irritation — and maybe even some money.
Whoopsie daisy. The Osbournes thought their tax troubles had been taken care of, but, not so says the IRS.
Benjamin Franklin said there are only two certainties in life: Death and taxes. That's probably why we're taxed to death. I take to my blog to bitch about this stuff. Musicians pick up their guitars and play. Here are the Top Ten Tracks About the Taxman.
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne put their Malibu digs on the market for $14 million. Now we know why they're asking so much for their house.

With the euro teetering on the verge of collapse, a new report by the European Council accusing the Prime Minister of Kosovo of murdering Serbian captives and trading in their body parts, and total uncertainty overhanging Afghanistan's future, foreign policy is no longer a matter of vague principles. It is about what stand you take on the specifics.
All the more disappointing, then, that the shadow Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, should start off with quite such a bland and uninteresting (uninterested, indeed) first speech in her new post this week.
One understands the problems. On many of the individual issues – supporting the Irish bailout, pursuing an exit strategy for Afghanistan – David Cameron has proved a lot more pragmatic than many had expected.
Nor does the Opposition yet seem in a position to evolve policy of its own on any subject, let alone on international affairs. The title of Yvette Cooper's address says it all: "Coalition Foreign Policy – an Assessment and Labour's Approach to Opposition." The latter is indeed what is on the mind of Ms Cooper, often spoken of as a potential future leader of her party.
The closest she comes to an alternative policy is, inevitably given her background as a Treasury minister under Brown, a prolonged reiteration of Gordon Brown's search for co-ordinated reflation in the world economy, and expanded aid to the poorest countries. Fair enough, the rush by all countries, individually, to cut deficits is not helping the recovery, to put it mildly.
But to say, as Ms Cooper does in some of her few non-economic arguments, that the Coalition Government should do more multinationally doesn't mean very much unless you're prepared to talk of giving India, Brazil or South Africa both a seat and veto powers on the UN Security Council.
As for doubting whether David Cameron took up the case of LiuXiaobo, the jailed Nobel prize winner, in his recent meeting with Premier Wen, does anyone seriously believe that either Tony Blair or Gordon Brown would have done so, any more than they challenged President Gaddafi of Libya?
It's time to get real on the issue of human rights in international affairs, and the Council of Europe draft report on the criminal activities of the former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) shows the problem. The report, after a two-year investigation, pulls no punches. Not only is the group accused of murder, drugs trafficking and trading in body parts, it specifically names Hashim Thaci, Kosovo's Prime Minister and former political chief of the KLA, as one of those primarily responsible.
The Kosovo government has completely denied it, but the Council of Europe report cannot simply be ignored. The trouble is that it has always been inconvenient for outside powers to recognise the rumours. Kosovo was Tony Blair's, as President Clinton's, proud assertion of humanitarian intervention. Direct military action had worked, President Milosevic had been forced to retreat. What was needed to make it work afterwards was a stable Kosovo (as in Iraq and Afghanistan) and the KLA conveniently supplied it (unlike in those countries).
Stability and security over justice and rights – it's the traditional dilemma in treating with countries right across Africa, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Only Kosovo in this case is our stepchild, within our ambit, brought to birth by our military intervention and sustained as an independent country only with our continued and extensive help. An active and concerned opposition would be pressing for Britain, and British MEPs, to support EUaction (and there has been some already) in seeking criminal accountability for these alleged crimes.
If the Labour Party of Ed Miliband means what it says in breaking loose from its Blairite and Brownite past, then it needs to acknowledge that it was under these two that it compromised the principles of an ethical policy, as set out by Robin Cook. On the evidence of its shadow Foreign Secretary's speech, it is still stuck in it.
Holbrooke was pure Clintonite to the end
Everyone has described Richard Holbrooke, who died this week, as "larger than life". It's a verdict that he would have heartily agreed with. It's how he thought of himself.
Overweening self-confidence combined with limitless energy make for great generals in war. They made Holbrooke especially effective in the 20 days he banged Balkan heads together in Dayton, Ohio, at the end of the Bosnian war. But that was in a situation where, thanks to international concern and military exhaustion, the parties had no real choice but to seek an end to war and to accept America's bullying on the terms.
When it came to his more recent appointment as special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, the conditions were quite different. The US is viewed not as an all-powerful umpire but an embattled military occupier. The main contestants, the Taliban, have not been defeated but eager for the fight once the occupying forces have left.
Holbrooke, rooted in the power plays of the past, never understood the Afghan politics behind President Karzai or the fractures of a democratically elected Pakistan government. He wanted a political solution but thought that he, as US representative, could force it as he had done in Dayton. In this sense he was, at the end, part of a continued dominance of the old Clinton establishment of the State Department – one that has prevented Obama from formulating a foreign policy to suit the times.

Heavenly Writing by Francesca Rochberg
Book DescriptionIn antiquity, the expertise of the Babylonians in matters of the heavens was legendary and the roots of both western astronomy and astrology are traceable in cuneiform tablets going back to the second and first millennia BC. The Heavenly Writing, first publsiehd in 2004, discusses the place of Babylonian celestial divination, horoscopy, and astronomy in Mesopotamian intellectual culture. Focusing chiefly on celestial divination and horoscopes, it traces the emergence of personal astrology from the tradition of celestial divination and the use of astronomical methods in horoscopes. It further takes up the historiographical and philosophical issue of the nature of these Mesopotamian 'celestial sciences' by examining elements traditionally of concern to the philosophy of science, without sacrificing the ancient methods, goals, and interests to a modern image of science. This book will be of particular interest to those concerned with the early history of science.

Learning how to Scuba-dive
I took this photo about a year ago while on a trip to Curacao (Dutch Caribbean). It's a photo of my sister in law doing a refresher scuba course after not having dived for about ten years.
I really wanted to capture the "learning" atmosphere as well as the holiday setting with blue sky and something exotic. The swimming pool of our diving hotel (Habitat, I recommend it if you like to be in the nature part of the island) turned out to be perfect.
Took quite a few clicks to get a good half-shot with all elements in it. The parasol just gives it a nice touch.
Taken with my 5D and a 15mm fisheye, at f10 and 1/200 sec. There was more than enough light to work without flashes and set ISO at 100.
