You may have heard about the failure of the T-Mobile USA Sidekick smartphone– known for its remote data storage and the fact that (gad!) Paris Hilton is a devotee – and how Microsoft's $500 million 2008 Danger acquisition, which invented the thing, managed to lose what looked for a while there like everybody's data permanently because Danger didn't back anything up before it or Hitachi screwed up a SAN upgrade or maybe it was a server failure; there are various excuses floating around.
The situation cast another long shadow over clouds everywhere and has certainly done nothing to enhance Microsoft's reputation, T-Mobile's either. Google and Apple may count it a win.
When last heard from T-Mobile was hoping to get the widgets back on their feet.
Monday evening it said, "We have made significant progress this past weekend, restoring services to virtually every customer. Microsoft/Danger has teams of experts in place who are working around-the-clock to ensure this stability is maintained.
"Regarding those of you who have lost personal content, T-Mobile and Microsoft/Danger continue to do all we can to recover and return any lost information. Recent efforts indicate the prospects of recovering some lost content may now be possible. We will continue to keep you updated on this front; we know how important this is to you."
Before that its prognosis was very bleak, very bleak indeed: "Regrettably," it said, "based on Microsoft/Danger's latest recovery assessment of their systems, we must now inform you that personal information stored on your device – such as contacts, calendar entries, to-do lists or photos – that is no longer on your Sidekick almost certainly has been lost as a result of a server failure at Microsoft/Danger. That said, our teams continue to work around-the-clock in hopes of discovering some way to recover this information. However, the likelihood of a successful outcome is extremely low….We continue to advise customers to NOT reset their device by removing the battery or letting their battery drain completely, as any personal content that currently resides on your device will be lost."
That advice still applies.
T-Mobile, the fourth largest US mobile service and a unit of Deutsche Telekom, has stopped selling the widgets.
It's not clear yet how many people are affected; Sidekick is believed to have 800,000-1 million users.
T-Mobile has offered users a $20 refund or, for those gravely afflicted, a $100 customer appreciation card to be used toward T-Mobile products and services, or their phone bill by way of compensation. "This will be in addition to the free month of data service that already went to Sidekick data customers," it said.
Cold comfort that.

Ocean carrier Hyundai Merchant Marine joining the 2M Alliance - comprised of Maersk Line and MSC - has fueled speculation about Maersk's ultimate motives, but the short term impact is a larger share on the transpacific trade, especially from Korea.
The rating agency acted negatively to the idea that the A.P. Moller - Maersk conglomerate could potentially choose to divide into separate companies, noting the split could hurt the group's business diversification.

|Talk to Timfraku in his house in Tai Bwo Wannai.
|Official difficulty
|In Jungle Potion, the Shaman Trufitus communed with the gods to determine the fate of his people.
Now, Timfraku, the Chief of Tai Bwo Wannai, wishes to see his people and family return to the abandoned village.
Help a depressed fisherman, encourage a raging hunter and satiate an eccentric priest in this extreme test of aptitude and patience!
|Items required
|Enemies to defeat
- Note: If you give Tamayu a Black spear (kp) he will still lose the fight, saying the poison may not be strong enough. This may be a glitch, so do not use a black spear.
Travel to Karamja and buy some Karamjan rum at the Musa Point pub, and take a banana and a knife - they can be found on the tables in the General Store. Slice the banana with the knife and use the sliced banana with the Karamjan rum to save space.
Head down to southern Karamja. Speak to Timfraku upstairs in the hut south-west of the house with the anvil, and deliver the news about Trufitus' successful Jungle Potion beginning by telling him that Trufitus sent you. He will tell you to talk to each of his three sons.
- Note: Teleporting before adding the banana to the rum will break the bottle. Karamjan rum with banana added does not break.
- Note: Do NOT use a whole banana on the rum without slicing it. It will create a joke item, a banana stuffed into the top of the bottle. While comical, it forces the player to return to Musa Point to collect another bottle of rum and a banana.
Items needed: Steel spear or better, small fishing net, pestle and mortar, Agility potion (4), logs (optional), tinderbox (optional)
You can find Tamayu south-east of the village at the mine. He will return to Tai Bwo Wannai only once he has killed The Shaikahan. Talk to him again, and ask him when will he succeed, and he'll invite you to come with him on his next hunt, and accept. Tamayu will fail to defeat The Shaikahan. He will tell you that he needs a better spear (You MUST poison the spear before you give it to him!) and to become as quick as The Shaikahan.
- Warning: Watch out! You will not get your spear back once you've given it to Tamayu, so make sure you are willing to lose that spear.
You need to poison the spear with karambwan, a poisonous octopus native to Karamja. Go north of the Tai Bwo Wannai shop, and talk to Lubufu by the fishing icon on the southern shore of Brimhaven. He will bade you to leave, so talk to him again. Ask him what he does by selecting the "Talk about him..." option. Offer to help him collect bait, and then say that he sounds like he could do with the help. He will then tell you to catch 20 karambwanji. Go to the lake south of Tai Bwo Wannai (Fairy ring: C•K•R), and net-fish for at least 22 karambwanji or more if you are catching the Karambwan on your own. The extra karambwanji is for Tiadeche's section later,
Go give them to Lubufu, and ask him what he uses to catch karambwan followed by what he does with them, and he will offer you apprenticeship and give you a karambwan vessel (also grants 1500 Fishing experience). Use the last karambwanji on the vessel. You should also use the drop trick to get a second vessel (tell him a shark ate it) as you will need an additional one later in the quest. You can do it again if you want another for yourself.
- Important: Remember to fill a vessel with karambwanji or he'll reply that the vessel is useless, and you'll have to travel all the way back to the karambwanji fishing spot to catch one.
Ways of obtaining the poisoned karambwan pasteEdit
Method 1 and the fastest way: If you have brought a Karambwan from Grand Exchange and also brought a tinderbox and logs, make a fire and cook the karambwan. If you did not bring tinderbox and logs, you can cook the karambwan with the fireplace at Brimhaven east of Lubufu get a light-green poison karambwan.
Method 2: If you have level 65 Fishing, simply fish at a spot near Lubufu. (If you try to fish at Lubufu's spot before you complete his task, tell you, "Get away from my spot, whippersnapper.") Once you catch a raw karambwan, cook it at a fire or range. (There is a range just east of Lubufu.) You will get a light-green poison karambwan.
- Note: it is NOT possible to boost to or above level 65. Lubufu will still tell you you cannot use his fishing spot.
Method 3: If you do not have level 65 Fishing, go to the north-east corner of the jungle (Fairy ring: D•K•P). (Go east of Tai Bwo Wannai, cross the log at the river, and then, head all the way north.) Find Tiadeche, and talk to him. Give him your full karambwan vessel to get a raw karambwan. Cook it at a fire or range. (If you brought a tinderbox and logs, make a fire and cook the karambwan. If you did not bring said items, you can cook the karambwan with the fireplace at Brimhaven.) You will get a light-green poison karambwan.
- Important: Remember to fill a vessel with karambwanji or he'll reply that the vessel is useless, and you'll have to travel all the way back to the karambwanji fishing spot to catch one.
- Note: Your karambwan vessel will be lost in the process.
- Note: With lower-level Cooking, there is a chance to burn the karambwan instead of getting a poisoned one. In this case, you cannot get another raw karambwan from the NPC, and you'll have to retrieve another one from a player, and cook them until you get a poisoned one. Do not buy a cooked karambwan from another player, as it will not be poisoned and cannot be used for the quest.
After doing any of the methods above, Grind the poison karambwan with a pestle and mortar, and then apply the paste to your spear. Right click the karambwan to use item. Do not left click or you will eat the fish. Now head back to Tamayu, and give him an Agility potion(s), and the kp spear. Afterwards, ask him to take you on his next hunt. He will successfully defeat The Shaikahan and agree to return to Tai Bwo Wannai after you help his brothers and speak to his father.
Tiadeche & TinsayEdit
Items needed: Karambwan vessel, raw karambwanji
Tiadeche will go back to Tai Bwo Wannai after you teach him how to catch karambwan. You will be doing Tiadeche's part first.
Go to the north-east corner of the jungle, marked by fishing spots on the map. If running, head east from Tamayu and cross the river using the log balance near the gnome glider. Then run north until you reach Tiadeche. You can also use Fairy ring: D•K•P. Find Tiadeche, and talk to him. fill your vessel with karambwanji and give him your full karambwan vessel to get a raw karambwan. Speak to him again and he will ask you to bring a fishing vessel to Tinsay.
Kill a Jogre located south, near the gnome glider while departing from Tiadeche to get Jogre bones for later. Now you will do Tinsay's part at this point, and continue with Tiadeche's part afterwards.
Tinsay's tasksEdit
You can find Tinsay on Cairn Isle, southwest of Fairy ring: C•K•R, which is up the rockslide and across the bridge (Agility level 15 required to climb and cross) from the structure south-west from Tamayu. Talk to him. He'll tell you that he's trying to repair the tribal statue in the village. He's lost his sanity recently due to some sort of accident with a Jogre. He needs 3 special local items.
- Note: Do not get the banana rum first if you need to leave Karamja Island to get other stuff or things done because customs will confiscate the rum!
Banana rumEdit
Items needed: Banana Karamjan rum
Since you have already obtained the banana rum in the beginning, just give the rum to Tinsay! (Watch out to cut the Banana into pieces before attaching to the rum, or otherwise you will lose both items)
Seaweed sandwichEdit
Items needed: Seaweed, monkey corpse, a Ranged or Magic method to kill monkey.
You need to bring him a seaweed sandwich, only with monkey skin instead of bread. Pick up some seaweed from the shore south of Cairn Isle (the island that Tinsay is on). Then, kill a level 3 monkey with Magic or Ranged since you can't Melee it. Give the corpse to Tamayu (near the mining place) to get it skinned. You'll get monkey bones and skin. Use the skin with the seaweed to make a sandwich. Give it to Tinsay.
- Note: Likewise, do not use a monkey corpse on the seaweed before taking the monkey to Tamayu for skinning. This will create a stuffed monkey, another joke item; however, Tamayu will still skin the monkey for you. You do not need to collect another monkey corpse or more seaweed.
- Note: Tamayu will not skin the monkey unless you have completed his section of the quest, so make sure to do that first!
Marinated jogre bonesEdit
Items needed: Jogre bones, raw karambwanji, pestle and mortar, logs and tinderbox.
You now need to get some burnt jogre bones marinated in karambwanji sauce. First, kill a level 53 Jogre, and take the bones. Be careful not to bury the bones!
Use Jogre bones with a tinderbox to burn them and wait for the fire to go out to collect the burnt bones. However, if you are below level 30 in Firemaking, you will not be able to burn the jogre bones with a tinderbox, and you will have to burn them in the nearest furnace.
Next, catch another karambwanji, and grind it with your pestle and mortar; make sure it is raw! Then, add the paste to the burnt bones to get Pasty jogre bones. Don't left click because you can still bury the pasty jogre bones.
Don't forget to cook the pasty jogre bones on a range or fire to marinate them before giving them to Tinsay. You can only cook the pasty jogre bones after giving him the seaweed sandwich.
After eating the burnt marinated jogre bones, Tinsay will regain his sanity and agree to return to Tai Bwo Wannai.
Crafting ManualEdit
As you have already spoken to Tiadeche, now is the time to use your karambwan vessel on Tinsay, who will give you a Crafting manual, which you have to give to Tiadeche. If you didn't pick up an extra vessel earlier, talk to Lubufu again. Tell him that a shark or karambwan stole your vessel to get a replacement. Take these to Tiadeche. He will go back to Tai Bwo Wannai.
After you're done with all three brothers, return to the village. A quick way of doing this is using fairy ring D•K•P near Tinsay to travel to fairy ring C•K•R and then running north. Upon arrival, talk to the village chief again for your reward, and make sure you ask for some gold. Then, talk to each of the three brothers in their local shops for an additional reward!(in the mini game area)
- 2 Quest points
- 5,000 Cooking experience
- 5,000 Fishing experience
- 2,500 Attack experience
- 2,500 Strength experience
- All experience point rewards are gained from talking to the brothers after the quest rather than immediately.
- 2,000 Coins
- A karambwan-poisoned rune spear from talking to Tamayu in the village after the quest.
- Access to Tamayu's Spear Stall (also sells cleaning cloths).
- Access to Tiadeche's Karambwan Stall (sells raw karambwan and karambwan vessels).
- Ability to pray at the newly repaired tribal statue (works like an altar) from talking to Tinsay in the village after the quest.
- Ability to catch and cook karambwan and karambwanji from talking to Tiadeche in the village after the quest.
- Ability to fight The Shaikahan (level 83 - you need a kp spear to hit it).
- You can also take part in the Smithing section of Otto's Barbarian training.
- Ability to teleport to Tai Bwo Wannai.

I hope they appreciate that Hosta
It will be one of the wild species.
I can never smell violets so I don't know if it's scented
I'm sorting photos
Which violet is this.
and yes I can see that bit of Geranium lucidum in there. I like those, they're not weeds
Nice one pansyface Nice arm
We have it easy here Tetley
They're quite friendly Steve
I'm always more interested in what things are and how they live than in what damage they might do
Pansyface suggested Polydesmus angustus Steve, the colour looks closer than the banded centipede. I've also had this suggested off forum. Thank you both
and thanks everyone else for suggestions
Banded Centipede - Lithobius variegatus.
Does this look good?
I do like to know what I've got.
They don't curl up like woodlice either.
They either die under there or shed their skins and leave them behind, there are very dried up dead things left behind

'Survivor': Oops, the Watcher did it again
Big mistake by the Watcher - not a surprise to veteran readers, I'm sure.
I wrote that "Survivor: Micronesia" would air on Wednesday night this week, as it has historically during the NCAA basketball tournament. However, CBS decided some time ago to forego "Survivor" altogether this week.
The show will return in its usual time slot next Thursday, with Malakal still losing, Ozzy still calling the shots and Chet still a ball of goo in Loser Lodge.

I went to a high school in NYC with about 2600 students. I'm at SUNY Purchase now. About 4200 undergrads, about 2700 live on campus. It's nice, everything is within a 15 minute walk (on my campus), you see a lot of familiar faces, class sizes are smaller, easy to talk to professors, and it's still a very diverse crowd of people. If you're living on campus, it's going to be a lot different from high school no matter how big the school is.anyone go to a small school? how is that? im going to a fairly small high school atm(400 kids), so if it's similar idk if i'll dig it. i didn't get into my top choices, but i got into suny fredonia (5,000 student count).
anyways, im going to visit the school for a weekend tour/event they're having in march, so i'll get to see that.
i just want to hear out anyone's first hand experiences.

Tablecloths are terrific, book less so.
I am a vintage tablecloth nut. I especially like to know the names of patterns and who makes them. This book is a bit dated--1999 so the prices aren't necessarily current, but what bothered me was the lack of identification. No mention of patterns or maker. Just a lot a pictures of pretty tablecloths and their 1999 values. I have enjoyed and learned much more from "Colorful Tablecloths 1930s-1960's Threads of the Past" by Yvonne Barineau & Erin Henderson and "Collector's Guide to Vintage Tablecloths" by Pamela Glasell.

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Learning technology company Instructure, the creator of the Canvas learning management system for K-12 and higher education, today announced a major new experiment in K-12 learning by unveiling a suite of more than 15 MOOCs for teachers, students and even parents on its Canvas Network platform. The most ambitious collection of K-12 MOOCs to date, the suite includes two Minecraft MOOCs that aim to help teachers leverage gamification best practices in the classroom. Enrollment is free and open for registration for anyone in the world at canvas.net.
(Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140812/135320)
"Even young kids have gotten very adept at Minecraft, so it can be quite intimidating for teachers," said Jason Schmidt, an instructional technologist for Bennington Public Schools who will teach the four-week MinecraftEdu MOOC. "If I can help get teachers over that hump, imagine how delighted students will be to have a learning environment tailored to their interests for a change."
Instructure is also releasing a Minecraft app for Canvas, which allows students to link their Minecraft account to Canvas and use in-game actions to submit assignments. For instance, students can tag locations of their creations for teachers to visit and explore. Contents of books students write in Minecraft will automatically be loaded into the Canvas SpeedGrader. Teachers can even use Redstone, Minecraft's in-game circuitry tool, to create automatically graded assignments.
"MOOCs have the power to tear down walls and bring our brightest contemporaries together," said Melissa Loble, senior director of Canvas Network at Instructure. "Through Minecraft and other engaging forums, we want to help teachers and students come together to advance education everywhere."
With courses ranging from a Mars mission simulator as taught by NASA to a DIY-focused course that teaches fabrication and circuitry to budding makers, the free Canvas Network offerings bring the power and versatility of online learning to the classroom as well as the home. To this end, Noblesville School District is teaching Canvas Network's first-ever MOOC designed for parents, titled, "Parenting in the Digital Age."
"Parental involvement in K-12 education has one of the biggest impacts on a child's commitment to learning," said Jared Stein, vice president of Research and Education at Instructure. "We're launching the industry's first-ever MOOC for parents to help them understand education in a digital world."
Instructure sought partnering institutions that could help demonstrate the full potential of open online learning. It has already seen notable success with creative approaches to education. Last year, it partnered with the University of California, Irvine and AMC to produce a MOOC based on the hit TV show "The Walking Dead." This course attracted more than 65,000 users around the world.
In total, seven MOOCs for teachers are launching on Canvas Network today, including:
- Digital Literacies 1
- Digital Literacies 2
- Five Habits of Highly Effective Teachers
- Getting Started with MinecraftEDU
- Minecraft for Educators
- Teachers without Borders: Educating Girls
- Tinker, Make and Learn
In addition, seven MOOCs for students will launch on Canvas Network, including:
- College Foundations: Reading, Writing, and Math
- First Peoples to the Early Republic: Born in Colonialism
- Google Ninja
- NASA Space Center Houston's "Mars: The Next Frontier"
- The Civil War Era
- The Gilded Age to the Roaring Twenties
- The Great Depression to the War on Terror

SHAKESPEARE'S parish church is one of more than 150 Grade-I and
Grade-II* listed English parish churches and other church buildings offered a
total of £17.5 million in the latest awards from English Heritage and the
Heritage Lottery Fund.
Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon has been offered a total of £34,000
towards the repairs that are needed for the cracked tower and to investigate
the spire for damage.
"Shakespeare was baptised here as well as buried here. He would have known
the tower. He was a lay rector, and would have had some responsibility for the
church's upkeep," the Rector, the Revd Martin Gorick, said on Tuesday.
The grants are part of the £25 million a year that the funding bodies make
available for listed church buildings through their Repair Grants for Places of
Worship scheme. The scheme began in 2002 and was due to end this year, but has
been extended until 2007 at the same annual rate, a spokeswoman for English
Heritage said.
The largest grant this year for a top-listed church building went to St
Barnabas's, Pimlico, London. It was offered a £25,000 first-stage grant after a
storm damaged the spire a year ago, and up to £601,000 for the full repair
The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) has received a
grant of £15,800 to enable it to contact all faith groups with historic or
listed buildings.
Catherine Cullis of SPAB said that nearly all respondents indicated that
they would be interested in having a training course to help them keep their
churches in good repair.
Norwich Cathedral had feared that it would have to turn off its
floodlighting to save money after English Heritage, in its separate grant
scheme for cathedrals, cut its annual awards by £1 million. But the city
council said this week that it would pay for the electricity bill for the

This is our first stay at this campground. We have a 35' travel trailer with slides and they only have a dozen sites for overnight guests. Keep in mind, this park rather large and has a lot of sites with all of them being permanent. Out of those few overnight sites, our rig could only fit in a few of them. They have overflow sites near the front gate which is in field with no shade would fit our camper along with the five sites on top of the hill also with no shade. The sites near the pool are really for smaller rigs except for the last three sites on the end of the row but the problem is it's very tight trying to do a 3-point turn backing into those sites which are at an angle. We got site B22 ( FHU ) which is located at the top of the hill and it's shaded. It's shared with B21 and both are pull-thrus. The campground is set up on a hill so the main road is steep so be prepared for that. The campground is gated with card access so that's nice for late night access. We camped here for 8 nights and took advantage of the Sunday thru Thursday special that included 2 pool passes. The pool is awesome with a rope, diving board, zero entry for the little ones and a slide. The overall campground is well kept, clean and very quite in the upper part. The sites next to the pool will be noisy since they play music all day long and the general noise from the pool play. The pool has a snack bar with hot food at affordable prices. The staff were very friendly and easy to deal with. Overall, we plan to come back. - NC RV Travler
May 2015 - $28.00
Let me start by saying this appears to be a campground built beside a humongous pool. The campground is mostly permanent sites but there are about a dozen short stay sites. The pool has a slide and rope swing and is open to the public. Both the public and the campers have to pay to use it. The "A" sites back up to a nice small stream and have a view of a waterfall (the dam at the end of the lake). A5 through A10 are decent sized. The others are small sites. We stayed in site A6. It had the potential to be a nice site, but the very busy pool was just on the other side of the stream and they blast music all day long. There is also non-stop golf cart traffic. We were also under a poplar tree which dropped sap like crazy on the trailer and truck. The pool is only open between Memorial Day and Labor Day so if we ever go back it will be when the pool is closed (probably in the fall of the year). If you want an awesome pool and are willing to pay for it then this may be just the ticket for you though. This place is just too loud and wild for us. - Echelon73

When we made reservations, I specifically requested a site where we could get satellite because they have no cable. We were told we'd have a nice long site in the open. When we arrived, we were told they had to switch our site because the previous guests had problems leveling. We were given their unlevel site and told we could move in 2 days when they left. Site 19 was extremely difficult to level our coach. We had to use a couple of boards to keep the wheels from lifting off the ground. We moved to site 44 after the others left but still had problems leveling and the satellite reception was spotty because of the trees. The exit road has some deep ruts and tight turns. It's unfortunate, because the office staff/owners? were extremely friendly and helpful. If we return to this area we will look for another park. - dickens

We chose this park because it was close to the Yadkin valley wine region. Check-in was easy and quick. The owners are very helpful with information on local area attractions. Wi-Fi is available, but we didn't use it. Some TV channels were available with antenna, unless you had satellite. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The shower stalls have average room for changing. Many of the sites are shaded with mature hardwood trees. All of the sites are gravel and ours required extensive leveling. Sites have fire pits and the park sells firewood. Boonville is 2 miles south of the campground and has a small grocery store. We would stay here again if we come back to the area. - MikeandDixie

We spent a couple nights here in July, and were very pleased with the place. It's an older campground, but it is very well kept and very clean. The site are large and shaded, water, sewer and cable worked fine. WiFi worked really well also.
The bath house is older, but in great working order with plenty of hot water. It also was very clean, and well lit so it's easy to find late at night.
Fire wood here is a bargain! $14 gets you a trailer like you pull behind a lawnmower completely full of wood.
The mini golf course is older, but still a lot of fun for kids and adults. The office has basic camping supplies, a game room, and a laundry area that were also very well kept.
Staff were very friendly, and were constantly in motion around the grounds, offering a hand, or cleaning.
WiFi coverage was very good throughout the park, I saw several repeaters installed on service buildings. - iflyos

Being from Indiana, we still haven't figured out how NC is able to offer these type of parks for such a good value. No fee for admitance, inexpensive yet excellent campsites. Lots of outdoor/nature things to do.
They could improve the number of signs getting to the park and inside of the park. The roads inside the park were easy to navigate in a motorhome. The sites were long enough for your unit and another vehicle to park without sticking out in the road. Our Verizon phones worked but our Daughter's ATT had no reception at all. The 4g was also not there.
Water and electric were both easy to hook up. The dump station was a little short on the turns but still accessable.
This park is a gem. - indiana journey

Beautiful outdoor experience. No cell phone service so expect a quiet visit. Local TV spotty but usable if you pick a central campsite near the creek. Staff friendly and helpful. Small but sufficient bathroom facilities. Deer plentiful for wildlife viewing and photos. We stayed two and then three nights the following week. - David and Ann

We arrived off the interstate and found it very difficult to find the road to the campground. The road in was very tight. The roads throughout the campground are very tight. The trip out and back to the interstate wasn't any easier. The campground is old and all the sights are in need of repair and landscaping. - hvacrv46

This is really a unique park. The road leading in (Frog Spur) is supposedly two-lane but I would really hate to have to pass anyone on it; it's hilly and curvy and very narrow. But, there's hardly any traffic so it wasn't a problem for us. The park itself seems to be carved out of a mountain; sites are terraced but relatively level. Roads and sites are gravel with lots of tight turns climbing up or down the mountain. We arrived after closing so had no escort to our site or interaction with staff. All that said, we were able to get our 40' rig in and out without trouble. It was convenient to the interstate and we would probably stay here again. - SandyA

We fell in love with this park! Very clean, in a rural setting with gorgeous sunsets. Park is up a hill surrounded by rolling meadows dotted with neat little cabins. We had a pull-through site but down below are some back-in sites. There were only 2 other RVs near us so we felt almost like we had the place to ourselves. Would definitely return. - Poolhall

Our GPS really led us astray on this one, and took us all round the place, and without a "good" address, it was a tough drive, to say the least...then, when we got there, at about 5:15, the office was closed and it was raining. The office is at the bottom, then you drive up a very steep hill to reach their small campground that is pretty much a flattened hill with gravel sites laid out. There was only one other RV there, so we just pulled into a site and settled in for the night. It was still raining really hard the next morning, and I had already pre-paid, so we just packed up and left early. I left a phone msg for the owners, but they never called back. Wasn't impressed and don't think we'll return if we can help it. - MarieB

This park was small, and for the most part, we were either the only RV there or one of 3 RVs. We had a drive-thru site, full hookups and 50 amp, and on the top of a hill without trees around us, so we got excellent Satellite reception and use of our personal hot spot. The WiFi the campground offered was also a hot spot, and we had to drive to the office to use it -- it was more convenient for us to use our own. We did not use the bathroom/laundry facilities but we did check them out and they were fairly clean. We only have a few negative comments: 1) the grass was not cut when we arrived. We were told that they mowed every 2 weeks and the recent rains caused the grass to grow faster (they did mow the day before we left); 2) a walk around the campground revealed some areas that had trash that should have been picked up, and 3) there was no security gate, which left us feeling a bit vulnerable since this campground is directly off of Hwy 58, and 4) the campsites were too close to each other (lucky, the site was near empty while we were there). The negative points were unique to our personal experience here during our 4-night stay. But overall, we were happy with the campground and our site and we would stay there again. - Ferdy

A wonderful rv park, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Owner is extremely friendly and helpful. Sites are large. Great wifi; no cable.
Didn't see any playground equipment if you need that for little ones. But for those campers who just want a good place to stay, you can't beat it. Lots to do in the area. - ljohio

A clean, organized and well-managed RV Park with long level spacious sites. Interior roads and sites are hard packed gravel so there's no dust. All sites have full hookups and 50 amps. WiFi was available and most sites are open to the sky for on air channels. There's no off leash dog park, cable, pool or playground but there's plenty to see around the area. Also water pressure seemed a little low so we didn't use a pressure regulator. Laundry room was super clean. It's $1 each to wash and dry and it's on the honor system so you deposit money into a box on the wall. Bathrooms and showers were also super clean. It's apparent that the owner takes a lot of pride in this park and manages it well. It's a nice quiet campground perfect for decompressing and getting away for awhile. Owner is on the premises, available and has plans for future improvements. This is truly a gem of a park that we plan to return to in the future. - Flippitti

First time here camping in our pop up. Stayed on site 19 which allowed plenty of room for our camper but backing in was a challenge. The drop off between the road and the campsite caused my rig to bottom out but we were able to finally get it in the site by very careful maneuvering. The bath house was fairly clean and there are doors on the shower stalls (mentioned in previous reviews that there were not). Beautiful park here with amazing trails and views. We will be back again. Did not see any travel trailers (would be a tight fit) and only about 3 pop ups. - jrackley

Very peaceful and relaxing. Lake beach nearby with various trails to waterfalls and lake with beach. Canoe rental. Diving platform in lake. Sandy bottom, clear water. Life guards on duty. Campfires permitted. Park gates lock at 9pm, so be aware that there is no getting out (or in) after 9pm until 7am the next morning. Keeps it quiet. Pull through sites are horseshoe shaped and limited. Road is paved and there is a camp host. Very nice area. - algriffith

We loved the hiking trails along with all the great waterfalls. The park itself is great and I would go back to the park multiple times. The campground is lacking water and electric which is a big turn off for me since I would like to take my 30 ft travel trailer. The restrooms / showers are very out-dated and showing their age. The showers don't have a changing room. Just a shower curtain that doesn't cover the stall opening. I personally don't care but the wife wouldn't quit "commenting" on it. I wish they would update the campground. If they did that, I would make it a regular trip each year with my travel trailer. The cabins are nice and has a full kitchen and air conditioning. - NC RV Travler

We stayed here for one night on our way north and four nights on our way back south. Very friendly owners. Full services: 50 amp electric, water, sewer. Good Wi-Fi . Most sites are pull-through but some are sloped somewhat at the sides where one would enter and exit the rig. Not too much that can be done about that since the majority of the sites are on the side of a hill. There's a good number of seasonal and permanent units but all are kept neat. We like the proximity to Mt. Airy, Galax, and Meadows of Dan. The elevation keeps the place cooler than other places at lower elevation. - halfdimes
Sep 2014 - $28.00
The park was clean and the owners were very nice. The tough part is the campground is on a mountain and very hard to level (we have a leveling system and were still about 1-2 degrees off level). We could have leveled if we had disconnected, but we didn't want to go through the hassle (a quick overnight). Do not attempt to get in the park after dark. The views were great and the park was pet friendly. Would stay there again. - bbnh2000

Friendly couple operates it. There are a lot of permanent rigs here but everyone seems friendly. Bathrooms are older but clean. Laundry is available. Sites are grass but fairly level. Nice view of foothills. No trees where we were, but for an overnight that is fine. Campground is clean and well kept. WiFi works great. We would stop here again. - BorntoCruise

The park is very convenient to find and get to from I-74, just be careful you find the entrance straight ahead at the intersection. No road noise from the interstate. Once in the park, check-in was easy and quick. We had a pull through site that was very narrow. All roads and spaces are gravel. Our site was a less than level: not bad, but front to rear was more than 3 degrees off.
The park is very large but quiet and orderly. - bigben

Nice place off the highway, we were on top of the hill so it was a bit breezy but I would definitely go back. When we arrived the was a little problem about our site being ready but they had it taken care of in about 10 minutes. The staff was friendly and helpful, I had realized a week later that I had left my surge protector there and they were able to locate it and ship it back to me. - fil564

We stayed two nights while touring the area. The park is easy on/off the interstate. They have trash containers throughout the park and also near the office. If arriving after hours, they have a drop box near the office. The internal roads and site are gravel. Our site did require that I add a 2 x 8 under one side to level. This is not unusual as most gravel sites need adjusting. The park is about 5 miles from beautiful Mt. Airy and the Andy Griffith (Mayberry) museum. The town has a rich history in music and if you time your visit, you might enjoy one of the many festivals. The management was very polite and helpful. There is only one bath house (two stools and one shower) and it is located near the office. There are no tables or fire rings at the sites. You will need to ask for one. There are two children's playgrounds and plenty of grass for walking the dogs. There are no trees so satellite service is good, however they have free cable. The Internet service is good except when traffic is high. They plan on adding another tower in the future. They keep the park very clean. Passport America discount is only good M-Th. It is a Good Sam park. I would stay here again. - A hitch and hop

A major, mechanical break-down on I-77 turned us into temporary full-time residents at the Carrollwood RV Park, waiting for a new axle and related parts. Their weekly rate is $108 with a monthly rate of $300 (plus tax).
The CG is a grassy, hill-side knoll with back-in, pull-thru, and tent sites but none of them are very long. The CG was built back in the days when a "big rig" was a 30' travel trailer. Parking our 40' fiver was tricky. Big coaches and Prevosts need not bother. Sites are uneven grass, not very level, varying from basic, no utilities, up to FHU-30/50. Lots of tall, old growth trees and narrow, gravel-and-dirt roads in the park. Asphalt roads from the entrance to the office. There are cabins for rent. Office is usually closed but there is a phone number to the camp host. Office has some soft-drinks and snacks and a few RVing necessities. Two ponds offer fisherpersons their happy time. No pool/spa or other amenities. A very old, open-air barn is rented out for parties, weddings, and the like. I inspected the men's restroom/showers and would not use them. Ex-laundry room is now a storage locker. - StephenK

This park was cooler than the other areas we visited in the east. Lots of nice pine trees. Very tight narrow turn by office to get to sites. Big rigs and motor homes with toads would have great difficulty. We had to back up a few times to get into that narrow road. Not much room to swing around to get in straight. The park has NO water pressure. You would have trouble taking a shower or doing anything with water. Mentioned to office lady and she said they had 35 pounds of water pressure. Most RV parks have more than that! All we got was a very small stream out of the faucets. - dustytuu

Hi all, great idea for a new forum and lets hope it thrives.
I have a Celestron Skyscout for star/planet info and its nice, I guess. I say that because I find it awfully finicky in use - VERY sensitive to interference from...well, from anything - makes it hard to get a good GPS signal. It contains hollow sleeves for reducing interference from the required AA batteries, but I have noticed they don't quite cover the battery entirely. Does anyone else have this device and if so, do you have a fix for the sensitivity? I don't quite understand why the device isn't more robust - after all, mobile gadgets seem to handle GPS signals with little trouble. Are there other devices that might be better?

If a hacker intercepts and changes set point data traveling over an industrial network, which basic security property is affected?
A. integrity
B. functionality
C. availability
D. defensibility
The correct answer is A, integrity. Data integrity implies that the data received is the same (value, format, quality) as the data sent. If a hacker is successful in changing set point data as that data travels over the network, the hacker has compromised integrity of the data, since it is no longer the same when received as when sent.
Answer B is incorrect, because functionality is not a basic security property.
Answer C is incorrect, because the problem statement did not address the availability of data. It appears that only the value of the set point (data integrity) was affected.
Answer D is incorrect, because defensibility is not a basic security property, but rather a measure of the vulnerability of a system.
