I keep reading reviews on Excel about their notoriety for delays - We are off to Greece in August with Excel and am now wondering if I should try and change our Carrier - Is the Airline that bad ?? ( I have looked at Excels service on different sites and unfortunately they come out pretty bad with time keeping so to speak) I would appreciate your views and any experiences with the carriers infamous delays !! Should I change or not??
I do not want to spend hours and hours in an Airport waiting to go/return when we have limited time due to our work commitments.
Thanks in advance !

Do students retain more information when they read from books rather than from digital devices? Does reading online present challenges due to distractions? Do students need to be taught skills to become better online readers?
Ruby Day's curator insight, August 3, 2014 5:21 PM
Studies show we are not reading as effectively online as we are with hard copies. This highlights the need for tools to help us read deeper online - e.g annotation type tools. This links to an interesting stuy of year 5 students using collaborative annotation software demonstrating higher performance than the control group's' paper based annotation.

Collectably is a content curation web app which allows you to bookmark any web site and to organize it into visual collections. A unique Chrome extension makes Collectably particularly useful as it pioneers the ability to save all of your open tabs into a visual collection that you can immediately prune, organize visually and sub-divide into specific groups.
This feature by itself is worth gold for any serious researcher or content curator as it allows to easily move from seeing just trees into seeing the whole forest and into organizing into logical groups for further work. Priceless.
If you frequently search and explore new information and tools online, I highly recommend it. It's that good.
Free to use.
Try it out now: http://collectably.com/
Chrome extension and Bookmarklet: http://collectably.com/#/tools
N.B.: You have by default a similar functionality available inside Firefox. It is called Group Tabs and you can activate it by goign to the View menu -> Toolbars -> Customize and by dragging the mosaic looking Tab Group icon into your browser top bar.
Try it. It's excellent. The only difference with Collectably is that Group Tabs are private to you and not shareable on the web.

StartMe is an excellent free start page builder which allows anyone to create public (or private) start pages containing bookmarks, links and RSS feeds, organized in groups and easily editable.
StartMe creates clutter-free, well designed and highly scannable editable start pages where you can easily add, edit, move around and re-order and group your favorite links and bookmarks in any way you want.
You can create as many start pages as you want and you can choose to start either from a pre-populated links and feeds page that can be edited and customized or completely from scratch.
Groups and individual items (links and RSS feeds) can be easily edited and dragged around easily. It is possible to decide how many news stories appear in a feed list and you can even switch on a "river of news" option that will combine chronologically all the news of a list of feeds.
It is also possible to integrate a search engine for each start page that will search using your search engine of choice.
StartMe supports OPML allowing full export and import functions with any bookmark collection or RSS feeds list.
Extension for Firefox and Google Chrome are available.
My comment: I can't recommend this tool enough. Easy, fast, effective and elegant. It's a breeze to use and it's so damn useful for creating start pages for a thousand different uses: tools lists organized in groups, suggested sites to visit subdivided in sub-topics, collections of people profiles in specific sectors, etc.

Great visual representation of blogging as curation
Robin Good's curator insight, October 13, 2013 5:49 AM
A good example of how you can provide a lot more insight to others by painstakingly curating a specific topic by collecting, organizing and juxtaposing effectively all of the relevant pieces.
Dr.Pete. also known as Peter J. Myers has curated an insightful visual montage that showcases all of Google search engine result page features in one page.
The result is a pretty amazing view, that, at least in my view, would be much more welcome than the existing results. Much more so, if it was me, the user searching, being able to decide which one of these features to turn on or off depending on my needs.
The time has come for me and you to decide how we want to slice, view and rank search results and this wonderful user-generated montage points to how much more could be seen if it was me or you to decide what to display inside your SERPs.
Inspiring. Instructional. Informative. 9/10

This is definately something that anyone in the coming new century needs to learn how to do effectively. Do we want regurgitation or depth of learning from knowledge gained?

Street Fighter IV review, another awesome Playstation 3 title! A lot of people have been talking to me about Street Fighter 4. They kept asking me if I was going to buy it and I was thinking about it for a while, but then I decided to wait. BUY STREET FIGHTER IV-PS3 - http://www.Extreme-Days.com/buy/SFIVPS3.html BUY STREET FIGHTER IV-360 - http://www.Extreme-Days.com/buy/SFIV360.html The reason for waiting was because they never gave us a demo, so all that we have to go from is trailers, screenshots, and written articles trying to describe what the new Street Fighter really is all about. Without the hands on aspect of it, I think Capcom made a big mistake there. Even if they gave us a very limited demo like we got for Killzone 2, I think that would have sealed the deal for all of those people who are still on the fence about buying it. I think that Capcom is going to do well anyway just because Street Fighter is a classic and everyone used to play it back in the day. Two days after Soul Calibur IV came out, I went and bought it at Best Buy. Even though Soul Calibur IV is a great game, I personally didn't get a whole lot of use out of it. That is the reason I'm so hesitant on buying Street Fighter IV. I think I will use it every day for about a month and then lose interest in it and it will just sit in the case on my desk for months until I take it out for a day or two and put it back again. One more thing I'm worried about is the online play. Street Fighter and Soul Calibur are very closely related games and the whole concept is pretty much exactly the same. So with what people are doing on Soul Calibur IV online, what is going to stop them from doing the same thing on Street Fighter IV? It's fun for a while until you play someone who just does the same move over and over and over again. Even if you can block or counter it and fight back, it's just not fun. Or when someone just mashes buttons and ends up winning somehow, that's no fun either. I can deal with these things, but when every other person you play against does one of these two things, it gets to be more an aggravation than a game to sit down and kick some butt on. In my opinion, games like this you're either having fun or just getting mad. Even when you're playing someone in the same room as you, the person that's winning is always happy and laughing, but when you're the one losing it just isn't a whole lot of fun. That's my take on it anyway and I'm not saying not to buy Street Fighter 4. I'm just giving you my opinions on what I think is going to happen with this game.

Carbon dioxide rules looming for coal plants
Obama orders EPA to come up with draft regulations in 2014
Coal-fired power plants across Wisconsin are in the process of spending billions of dollars to reduce pollution that contributes to smog and respiratory illnesses.
But none of their scrubbers do anything to stop the release of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas, into the air. There's no technology in widespread use at this point to keep carbon dioxide from seeping out of coal plant smokestacks.
That challenge is expected to drive a different regulatory approach by the Obama administration in its efforts to reduce emissions of heat-trapping gas from coal plants, the leading source of carbon emissions.
Approaches that are likely to be on the table include converting some coal plants to burn natural gas, making coal plants burn coal more efficiently, or making other changes such as boosting energy efficiency and renewable energy, said Keith Reopelle, policy director at the Madison-based conservation group Clean Wisconsin.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday directed the Environmental Protection Agency to issue a draft rule by June 1, 2014, for existing power plants, and a final rule one year after that.
For Wisconsin, a state that relies on coal to produce most of its electricity, it's unclear exactly how the rules will affect the energy mix and prices for electricity.
The Obama plan was praised as overdue by environmental groups, given the impact of extreme weather conditions such as droughts and floods in Wisconsin and across the country. But business groups, utilities and some others are concerned about the cost of new regulations.
PSC wary
"The president's comments yesterday regarding climate change and the coal power industry were heavy on hyperbole but light on specifics," said Nathan Conrad, spokesman for the state Public Service Commission. "Because over 60% of Wisconsin's energy is produced through coal, and our state's manufacturing industry, to stay competitive, is heavily reliant on affordable energy, we will be watching further developments from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the administration closely in the coming months."
Brian Manthey, a spokesman for We Energies, said the utility may be in a good position by virtue of the fact that it has already shut down one coal plant, in Port Washington, and replaced it with a natural gas plant. The utility is now planning to convert its Milwaukee coal-fired power plant, the Valley plant in the Menomonee River Valley, to burn natural gas instead of coal.
The utility will be asking EPA for credit for moves it's already made to reduce carbon emissions, Manthey said, adding We Energies can't be sure what the impact of the new regulations will be until they are drafted.

Stayed for 1 week. Quiet park, mostly short-term. Wi-Fi was very spotty, good in the early a.m. You can hear traffic from I-15, but it didn't bother us. - Karen - Rick
Aug 2016 - $37.00
This is a pretty good overnight stop for us, being very close to I-15/I-90 on the way south. The park appears to concentrate on long-term residents. We had a nice little patch of green grass with a picnic table and enjoyed the WiFi. Our site was nice and level and long enough that we did not have to unhitch.
It's just to the west of Butte on the feeder road and signage isn't very good. There's no pool or recreational activities. It's a little close to the highway, but since we run the fan the noise didn't bother us. - Paul Elliott

Far enough off the highway to minimize traffic noise. Spaces are large enough. Nice view of mountains. Would stay here again. - DRBurns

We paid for a premium site. What a joke. We were so close to our neighbors we couldn't even use our grill. There was not a blade of grass, just dirt and rocks. What I didn't understand was why there were other sites that were wider, nicer, with grass yet they jammed us with others into a part of the park when there were other options. - NancyKurimay
Sep 2016 - $63.00
Only had premium site available. Definitely nothing premium about it. We paid more here than any other rv park that we have stayed. Dirt piles lying around. Gravel dirt roads very bumpy. Verizon and Dish worked well. Park Wifi good. - Lindsey2
Aug 2016 - $47.00
Nice clean park just off the freeway. Sites were level with good utilities. Wifi worked well and the staff was very pleasant. One nice addition was that the park had a small take out restaurant which was very good, especially after a long day's drive. Would stay again. - nmunozjr

Nice wide roads to get into our pull-thru site. Some bigger pines with one on our right side but plenty of clear air space for dish to orient. This was a quick stop from Glacier heading south so we didn't even take the car off the dolly. Wi-fi signal was weak....kept dropping even though the park was maybe half full. - monamonaco

This RV park is in a beautiful location with views of the mountain ranges surrounding the park. Our site was flat, utilities were easy to reach and the park was exceptionally clean and quiet. Many sites are pull through with ample room for your rig plus a tow car. The spaces are a little close together but there was plenty of room for the picnic table and slides out without feeling you were invading your neighbor's space. - The Regans

There wasn't any shade at our site but we had a beautiful of the mountains. Bathrooms were very clean. There was a nice game room with a pool table and other games, and a good outdoor playground for the kids. Very close to the hot springs pools which we also really enjoyed. Was nice for one night, would stay here again. - Sasquatch2

Driving up to it, I almost turned around. It looks kind of trailer parky. But we decided to spend the night and I'm glad we did. Full hookups with wifi and cable tv. There is a big cliff on one side rising above the park, and the other side has a nice little creek. The owner was very nice and it's right by downtown Anaconda. - Russell G

Decent place. Some shade along street at backside of sites. Bathrooms were clean. My three issues were with the pet area (full of excrement), the extra fee for each person after the first two ($1.50 each), and the torn US flag at the top of the pole. (I'm a vet and believe the owner is too based upon the USMC hat he was wearing.) It's near a nice park and walking path. Not a bad place, but just don't step into the pet area without looking down. - Hawkdriver

This is one of the "Best" RV Parks we have stayed in, in our 8 years of travel. The owner is one of the nicest owners we have encountered. He takes great pride in his park and ensuring his customers have everything they need. The grass yards are wonderful! No need for a mat. All amenities work as stated on website. Great internet! Thank you for a wonderful place to call home! - cepelfrey

This is a brand new Motor Coach Park on Lake Norman. The park is gated and the views of the lake are very nice. Everything was still new and the sites were paved and level. One thing for the park to consider is when full it may be challenging to get larger rigs to some of the lake front sites without scraping the ground going down the ramps from the road to the lake front lots. We did not experience any problem since there were open sites we could use to widen our turns. During our stay we observed some construction which was to later become a deck and bar on the lake. Overall nice place to visit and we may visit again in the future to see how things turn out once the construction is complete. - Gulfjetskir

Stayed here 2 nights on our way east to Minnesota, and 2 nights on the return trip 4 wks later. We are "boondockers" at home, and wanted a mountain spot to relax for a couple of nights. Very nice, quiet NF site at about 5500 ft elevation. Hand pump for water, vault toilets, and bear boxes for food storage!! A bit off the freeway on pretty good gravel roads, but not difficult to get to. On weekends, it is used by locals and ATV's. We never felt they were obnoxious, and pretty much only used the campground roads to go in and out from the main road and up into the mountains. Great spot for thunderstorms in the hot summer!! Spaces are fairly short, our 24ft TT fit in one spot well but a much larger unit would have some problem finding a adequate site. Forest Service states 22ft max for sites. Fire rings and solid picnic table at each site. Sites are free, but had to put in something for the review!!! - GLB

Small, no frills park. Manager was very friendly and helpful. Lots of grass and FHUs. Located next to a great restaurant/bar. Had a wonderfull T Bone one day and great piece of pie the next. Great location for fishing the Big Hole. I would definitely stay here again. Loved the area along the Big Hole River. - User1359

This is a bare bones kind of park good for one night but it's nice enough. Right off the Interstate. You have to go to the office to use the internet and there is no TV. Nowhere to get anything in town, but there are two bars. - mary mcmoo
