Myrtle Beach Travel Park
[ 7/10 ]
We keep coming back here every year because of the location on the beach. But we have noticed a steady deterioration as an increasing number of permanent campers seem to be homesteading. Each site has a picnic table under a roof. The sides are open, but more and more campers are enclosing them and turning it into a usable room, complete with TVs and electricity. There is also no restriction on what is allowed on a site. The site next to us, for example, has a Class A motorhome, a trailer, 2 cars, 3 bikes, 4 adults, a toddler and 2 dogs.
Jacksonville, Florida
Pecan Park RV Resort
[ 4/10 ]
The previous reviews describe this campground perfectly, but they miss one key point -- the noise. The airport is directly behind and between the noise from the jets taking off and I-95 just a short distance away, sleeping can be a challenge. They advertise that they will accept Passport members for a maximum of 6 nights in October, but when we called, we were told that if we wanted to stay that long, we would have to pay the weekly rate of $260, much higher than the $21 Passport rate. No reason was given. The campground appeared half empty when we arrived.
Cochran, Georgia
The Woods Golf Course & RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
It's been three years since we reviewed this campground and when we got here this year, we were pleased to find that little has changed. The overnight fee is still only $15 and the golf is incredibly cheap. You still get a free golf cart when you arrive and you only pay when you take it golfing -- 50 cents per hole per person. The place is very laid back with few rules and the owner and staff will do anything to make your stay enjoyable.
Bushnell, Florida
Sumter Oaks RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
This feels like one of the oldest parks in the Escapees club system and it's looking and feeling older every year. It is the only Rainbow park that doesn't offer Wi-Fi and the nearest hotspot is at least 8 miles away. However, it does offer a phone line hookup in the club house for anyone who can still use dial up to go online. The indoor pool is closed because the heater is broken. There is no cable TV and we were unable to pick up any of the networks with our aerial. After we were set up we discovered that less than 10 feet from our door was an unsealed sewer manhole cover. We were only staying for one night so with threw a big mat over it to stem the stink. There were many other sites available and we couldn't help wonder why they would park us in that site. Having said all that, the people are very friendly. We've stayed here before but we'll check to see if anything has changed before we return.
Largo, Florida
West Bay Oaks
[ 7/10 ]
The previous two reviewers pegged this park perfectly. It's small, the sites are tight and it's looking very old. But this friendly, little park is all about location. It's just a few minutes to the beach and, if you have a bike, you can ride a bike trail to the Blue Jays stadium in about 20 minutes. As a bonus it has excellent, free Wi-Fi, an open-air clubhouse and lots of friendly people. We'll be back.
Port Richey, Florida
Ja-Mar Travel Park (55+ park)
[ 8/10 ]
We have stayed here (I'm talking about the south park} many times before and will continue to return. The streets are all paved, each site has either full asphalt or at least a concrete pad and most of the sites are adequate, if not large. The park is neat and tidy. The last time we were here we had trouble getting in. This year there are empty sites everywhere and they are charging $24 a night for anyone with any membership card. The only problem we had was with the Wi-Fi, which is free in the library. We couldn't connect and they kept telling us that we had to change the settings on our computer. Hours later they finally rebooted the router and all was good. There's a big flea market just to the north and lots of shopping in the area.
Homosassa Springs, Florida
Homossas River RV Resort (Turtle Creek)
[ 5/10 ]
This is an old park that is mostly filled with permanent residents. The streets are paved and most of the sites are grass, dirt or gravel. On the positive side, the staff and residents are very friendly, there are lots of facilities and lots of activities. On the negative side, the sites are very tight and many of the permanent sites are looking rather junky. The leaves had not been raked and as a result it was hard not to track dirt into the RV. Each site has a small picnic table, hardly big enough for two and most of them are so old, they look dangerous. Wi-Fi is an expensive extra, but if you ask the office staff, they will give you a coupon for one session. We came here to meet some friends and so we stayed for a couple of days. I can't imagine ever coming back.
Perry, Georgia
Fair Harbor RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
We have stopped here many times, mainly because of the Passport rate, as we come and go down I-75 and have never had a problem or a complaint. It's a large campground and many of the sites are filled with what looks like homesteaders that could be cleaned up. We always try to stay in the front area nearest the office. Most of the sites are pull-through and the campground has all the facilities imaginable, including free Wi-Fi and cable TV. It's a very short distance from I-75 and yet you never hear any highway noise at night. If only the check-in staff could be trained to look up and smile, this place would be perfect.
Gilbert, South Carolina
Mr. Z's RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Small, friendly park in a pine-tree setting with spacious sites in a quiet, secure setting. This park is actually set in the owner's backyard. He seems to spend most of his day making sure the place is kept neat and tidy. There's a small swimming pool and a small laundry room. We paid a Passport America rate of $15 and will certainly return.
Anderson, Indiana
Timberline Valley RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff was very friendly, the sites were large and level and the services, including the Wi-Fi, were excellent. Unfortunately, our $17 Passport America rate was only good for one night. The park is easy to get to off I-69. We'll definitely stay here again.
Holley, New York
Hickory Ridge Golf & RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
We thoroughly enjoyed this campground and can't wait to return. The owner and staff are super friendly. The big draw for us is the golf course next door, which charged only $17 for 18 holes with a cart on weekdays. They keep a few golf carts in the campground and we were able to bring them right to our site to pick up and drop off our clubs.
Heiskell, Tennessee
Raccoon Valley RV Park
[ 5/10 ]
Escapee parks are usually very friendly places but we obviously caught the manager on a bad day. He was downright rude. But, to his credit, he came back and apologized, saying, "it's been a long day." The park is definitely showing its age. There are now a number of derelict rigs and vehicles in the park and most of the 5th wheels looked unoccupied. The Wi-Fi costs extra, when it works. It was down the day we arrived. I doubt we'll stay here again.
Montgomery, Alabama
The Woods RV Park and Campground LLC
[ 8/10 ]
This a nice enough campground. Nothing special, just very adequate. It offers easy access to downtown Montgomery. Drainage is a problem when it rains. There was a puddle at our front door for a whole day after it had stopped raining. The $15 is the Passport rate, which is only available on weekdays.
Jackson, Mississippi
LeFleurs Bluff State Park
[ 7/10 ]
This state park is a little gem just miles from downtown Jackson. It's a typical forest setting with large sites and lots of shade beside a small lake. Despite all the trees, we were able to find a site with a gap between the trees so we could use our satellite dish. The $13 rate for seniors was pleasant surprise. Our only complaint was that you need to drive about a mile down a very dusty road to get to the campground and no matter how slowly you drive, you'll need to wash your windshield every time. Pay attention to the previous review on how to get there. Do not drive to the office. Follow the international little blue signs with the trailer to get to the gate. If there is no one there, and there usually isn't, and the gate is closed, and it usually isn't, just phone the office and you can get the gate code and register with a credit card. We'd definitely will stay here again. By the way, if you plan to golf at the course in the state park, forget it. The place is a dump and is unplayable.
Pharr, Texas
Holiday Village Retirement Mobile Home and RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
This is one of the older parks in the valley and its location, right at the intersection of 218 and 83, makes it a tad noisy. But it also has a lot going for it. It has all the usual facilities and this weekend they added Wi-Fi in the library. Unfortunately, it kept kicking out every couple of hours, but one of our neighbors was able to reset it. The owner and manager couldn't be friendlier and its hard to beat the Passport rate of $15. Because of its central location, it's very handy if you want to dine out or go shopping. We've stayed here before and will certainly return.
Zapata, Texas
New Harbor Lodge & RV Park
[ 3/10 ]
This place has very little going for it and when it rains, it's even worse. But for $10 for full hookups, what can you expect. Be careful where you step because dogs are allowed to roam freely.
La Feria, Texas
Vip - La Feria RV Park (55+ park)
[ 8/10 ]
We've been here before and undoubtedly, we'll return. It's a very friendly, well-managed, very clean park with many amenities, including hot tub, swimming pool, pool tables, etc. And the $15 Passport rate is hard to beat. But it has some issues. It's right beside the highway and if you get a site along the fence, it can be noisy. Many of the sites are a tad tight, but the place has never been full when we've been there and they do a good job of spreading everyone out so it feels like you have more room. They charge 14 cents per k/w hour for electricity, which is a little high considering we paid only 8 cents at another park in the same county.
South Padre Island, Texas
Isla Blanca Park
[ 5/10 ]
It's all about location, location, location when it comes to this campground. It's a short walk to the beach from most sites and as a result, it's very popular with snowbirds. Many of the sites are huge with concrete pads. But there are also a couple of rows of sites so tight that you can't put out two slides. Unfortunately, the office computer doesn't provide any information on how big a site is and as a result they don't ask how big your rig is. That results in a crap shoot. The sign-in process is incredibly complicated and to make matters worse, the Visa machine was broken and as a result we had to come up with $200 in cash before we were allowed to enter. We pleaded with the clerk to accept a $50 deposit and we would come back with the balance on Monday when the banks opened, but the answer was a curt: NO. It took us two hours to finally get settled. We wanted to stay for a week ($185 plus $15 deposit for electricity) but the first site we were sent to was so tight we couldn't get our slides out. It's over a quarter of a mile back to the office, which had no air conditioning or ventilation. After lining up for 20 minutes a second time, we were offered another site, which was occupied. Back to the office and another line up and the third site was even smaller than the first. Back to the office and another line up and the fourth site was also occupied. We finally asked for a site for only two nights ($35 a night) but the clerk refused to refund us the difference between the $200 we had paid him and the $70 we owed him. He said the city would mail us a refund cheque to our home address, despite the fact that he had been unable to provide us with a site for the week. It went downhill from there. Only a government bureaucrat could make life so complicated for campground guests.
Crystal Beach, Texas
Bolivar Peninsula RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
This park is built around a very large pond and is quite pleasant. We paid the Passport rate of $15, which is available only on weekdays. The top end of the pond is occupied by permanent campers and is rather junky. But there are numerous sites near the office that have full services and free WiFi. Unfortunately, the beach is hard to access. It's too far to walk and if you drive, you need a $10 annual parking permit. It rained hard when we stayed here and the mosquitoes came out of the unmowed clover around our site and tried to carry us away. But tonight we're facing the pond/lake and watching a beautiful sunset. There's a nine-hole golf course down the road that is struggling to survive after Hurricane Ike. The manager said we could play all day for $14, including the cart.
Lake Charles, Louisiana
Isle of Capri Casino
[ 1/10 ]
This is the worst place we've ever stayed in 12 years of RVing. It should be avoided at all costs. This is a very tired casino and the RV parking area is the least of their problems. The staff is rude, many of the slot machines barely work and management doesn't seem to care. The sites are so tight that if someone parks on both sides of you, it's impossible to put out any slides. With the noise of the train in front of you, the highway bridge above you and the employees coming and going in their cars all night around you, it's almost impossible to hear the garbage truck idling in reverse beside you for 20 minutes. Our main motivation for stopping here was to get a good meal with some wine in the hotel. Unfortunately, the only decent restaurant in the place is closed Monday and Tuesday. If you need a place to stay around here, go to the nearest WalMart parking lot.
New Orleans, Louisiana
Pontchartrain Landing
[ 8/10 ]
This is a great oasis close to a devastated city. The staff is friendly, the campground is clean and the sites are adequate. You can catch the shuttle three times a day for $5 return or get a taxi for about $20. The bar serves great pizza and chicken wings ($16 for a loaded medium pizza and 10 wings). Both the swimming pool and hot tub were open in January. They are accommodating a number of trailers filled with male workers and at times, on Sunday, I felt like I was staying in a migrant labor camp. But they really weren't a big problem. Don't be intimidated by the rough looking neighborhood when you leave I-10. It's only a short drive to the gated park and you have to remember that New Orleans is still a devastated city. We considered staying at a French Quarter park but they would only give us the Passport rate for one night, and they insisted on a 50%, non-refundable deposit when there were only a few sites occupied.
Gulfport, Mississippi
Southern Oaks Mobile Home & RV Community
[ 8/10 ]
This is a great park about a mile off I-10 and about the same distance from all the shopping and restaurants you can possibly want. The streets are paved, the sites are all concrete, the place is clean, tidy and well looked after. You can hear the highway noise in the background but it wasn't a factor for us. The only problem we encountered was with the Wi-Fi. It's free but it's a challenge to get it to work. When you sign in you get a password and seven pages of instructions. After numerous phone calls to the office for new passwords and two late evening visits to our RV by the manager, we finally got it to work. The $20 was the Passport America rate
Summerdale, Alabama
Rainbow Plantation
[ 9/10 ]
You have to be an Escapee member to stay here. The sites are huge and the people are friendly. All but a few sites have a big tree and yet getting a satellite signal is easy because all the sites run south/north. A great, quiet place to relax. You can wash your rig and even fix your car or give it an oil change at a "garage" on site. You're encouraged to join in the many activities at the fully-equipped club house. If you stay here, be sure to go eat at Lamberts in Foley. They don't take credit cards and they don't serve alcohol, beer, or wine, but they'll serve you lots of great food, and in three days you may be hungry again.
Destin, Florida
Camping on the Gulf
[ 3/10 ]
It's all about location. There are very few campgrounds where you can park right on the beach, and this is one of them. As a result, it can charge premium rates (we paid $81 a night in the off-season). But you have to be prepared to put up with some challenges. The free Wi-Fi does not reach the last three rows along the beach, and the row along the beach does not have dumps, and they won't allow anyone with a pet. When it comes to rules and regulations, this campground has them all beat. Their 51-page promotional/welcome brochure has no fewer than 6 pages of rules and regulations. Unfortunately, the brochure doesn't help you find the place. There is no map, no directions and no co-ordinates . The only address is not recognized by Streets and Trips, Garmin, or TomTom. The speed limit in the park is 4.5 miles and hour and they have a speed camera that takes a picture of your car if you go any faster. We had reserved our beach site for a week, but they didn't process it properly and after two days we were told we would either have to move or leave. And, if we decided to move, we would lose the weekly discount. The clerk blamed us for the error because we didn't double check to make sure the reservation had been entered properly. I thought maybe the clerk would call the manager to try to resolve the conflict, but it was easier for her to blame us and bid us farewell. Both our neighbors told us that there has been a recent change in management, and they are hearing a lot of complaints. We left and will never return.
Carrabelle, Florida
Sunset Isle RV & Yacht Club Resort
[ 3/10 ]
At first sight, this looks like a great campground. The owner is super friendly. The paving-stone road around the sites, looks very appealing. Don't be fooled. When we checked in we stressed that we needed a site with good Wi-Fi. We were offered a choice of two sites where, we were told, previous RVers had reported good service. When we pulled up to the first site and I went back to unhook our tow car, I found the owner on his knees, trying to undo the cable to the car. Fortunately, I stopped him before he caused any damage, but I was shocked that he would do that. There was no Wi-Fi at the first site, or at the second site. He then suggested we try a grassy site next to the entry, where the router is located. We had to gingerly step around two piles of dog excrement (dogs are permitted to run loose) and after getting all set up, we realized we didn't have any electricity. Fortunately, I have a control system that prevented my RV from connecting. When we analyzed the problem, we found that one side of the 50-amp service had only 84 volts. Owner's response was: "I thought we got that fixed." Over an hour later we finally got settled into a fourth site. We paid the Passport rate of $24. For the same price you can park at one of two nearby state parks and walk to nearby beaches. There's a lovely swimming pool and hot tub, but both are ice cold. Half the campground has never been developed and a large swimming pool in the middle of the undeveloped area is now derelict. When you leave, be sure to drive out through the entrance. The exit has a bush sticking halfway into the driveway and if you don't run over the curb and up onto the grass, you'll scratch the side of your rig.
Ashburn, Georgia
Wanee Lake Golf and RV Resort
[ 6/10 ]
The new owners and that staff at this small campground are super friendly and if you're a golfer, this campground/golf course is a real find. We paid a Passport rate of $15 a night and another $12 for 18 holes of golf, including the cart. The swimming pool and hot tub were a lovely shade of green and the wi-fi reaches only a few of the sites. The clubhouse doubles as a small bar, and the night we were there, the boys were in playing poker. The music was loud, and the second-hand smoke was overwhelming, which makes the room pretty well unusable for families. The nine-hole golf course was in pretty good shape, but the sand traps desperately need to be raked, and the greens should be mowed more often. We'll definitely return to play golf.
Cross Hill, South Carolina
Lake Greenwood Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Everything that previous reviewers have said about this park is right on the money. We took advantage of their free week special and stayed in a site that gave us spectacular views of the lake, the sunsets and the changing autumn colors. There are a couple of minor issues, however, that campers should be aware of. There is a busy train track across the lake and the closer you park to the lake, the more often you'll be awakened in the night. The owner/manager owns a mid-sized dog that is never on a leash. If you're a dog lover, you'll probably find that cute. But if you don't appreciate a strange dog jumping up on you and sticking his wet nose against various parts of your body when you arrive at the office, you'll find this to be a problem. Having said that, the owner and the dog are both very friendly.
Mount Airy, North Carolina
Mayberry Campground
[ 9/10 ]
This is one of the nicest campgrounds we've ever stumbled upon. The sites are spacious, clean and open. They all have full services, including park-wide Wi-Fi that works, cable TV and 50 amp.
Grand Island, New York
Cinderella Motel & Campsite
[ 8/10 ]
We were pleasantly surprised by this campground. The PA rate of $30 made this a good deal. Some of the sites are very tight and with all the trees, it's all but impossible to get a satellite signal. There is also no Wi-Fi. But it's a nice shaded campground in a great location.
Branson, Missouri
Branson Lakeside RV Park
[ 1/10 ]
After criss-crossing the country for 4 months, we'd like to nominate this park as the worst campground in America. The problems start with their website. They do not provide an address or GPS co-ordinates because, "These are not always up to date and are confusing." Instead they want you to follow their directions. We tried 3 times to use the "contact us" link to get an address and reservations, but after 10 days, there was no response. When we arrived at the park we found the right side under construction and, as a result, a big mess. The man who insisted on parking us in the precise spot on our site was curt and rude and behaved like a drill sergeant. When we let out our slide, our livingroom window was less than 24 inches from the livingroom window of the 5th Wheel next to us. But all that is just the start of problems. There is a very long concrete bridge across the lake beside us and construction crews are trying to demolish it. At 7:30 a.m. they start up a giant jackhammer mounted on a high-hoe and chip away until 5 p.m. It's a long bridge and it'll take weeks, if not months, to finish the job. They only time we couldn't hear the jackhammer was when a train came down the track on the other side, wound it's way behind us and shuffled back and forth to get into position. At 4 a.m. it sounded like the train was coming right through our rig and we're parked as far away from the track as possible. We'll never return.
League City, Texas
Safari RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
This park has seen better days but for the $14 Passport rate, it's worth the stop. The park is mostly filled with older park models in desperate need of paint. It has a swimming pool but there are not chairs around so it's not very inviting. Wi-Fi is provided by Tengo and costs $5 a day. The garbage cans were full when we arrived and were still full when we left three days later. But the bigger garbage bins are just a short walk away. It's quiet, easy to get into, the site are spacious and all the services are in good shape. Our greeting was very friendly. We've stayed here before in will undoubtedly stay here again.
Surfside, Texas
Austin's Landing RV Park & Resort
[ 7/10 ]
This campground has some pretty rough edges but it's just a short block from the beach (we can see the water from our RV) and two blocks from a great fishing jetty. The woman who runs the place is very friendly and full of information. There are a number of older units in the park and some seem to be occupied by single males working in the area. When we first asked, she said the rate was $25 but when we hesitated, she quickly offered it for $20. But we could only stay one night because they were fully booked for the weekend. Like I said, it has some rough edges but it has location, location, location. We'll come again.
Aransas Pass, Texas
Southern Oaks Luxury RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
This may well become a luxury RV park in the future, but for now it's a work in progress. The staff is very friendly and the park has full services. Lots of concrete, including a huge parking area at the office and concrete pads and parking sites. WiFi cost us $12 for the week and worked well. The big activities center is still under construction but the showers, library, washrooms and laundry are open and functioning. The swimming pool is still a big hole. They started work on a golf course but it will take a lot of money to finish. They let us wash our RV: once. We got the PA rate of $17.50. We did notice that the long-term residents in the park are a tad cliquish. It was hard to get anything more than a "hello" from anyone. We wouldn't hesitate to return.
Benson, Arizona
Kartchner Caverns State Park
[ 8/10 ]
This a beautiful, peaceful campground with large and small sites that are well spaced. There are few amenities but if you enjoy hiking and looking at the mountains, this place is great. The hook-ups are at the back of the site but we managed to reach with a 30-foot water hose. The campground host greeted us on arrival and let us know he was there for us if we needed anything. The volunteer who greeted us at the park entrance was super friendly, but the park ranger who checked us into the campground was downright rude. Pity. We stayed here because we wanted to tour the caverns.
Huachuca City, Arizona
Tombstone Territories RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
I agree with the previous reviewers, this is a wonderful park. I would have given it a 10 except for two issues. The WiFi is available only in the library. There are repeaters throughout the park, but management has obviously given up on making them work. The park bans certain breeds of dogs, including Dobermans, but that rule is not enforced.
Camp Verde, Arizona
Distant Drums RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
To say this park is "pristine" is the understatement of the day. The roads are paved, the sites are all concrete pads and the decorative gravel is raked regularly. I don't think there is a pebble or a leaf out of place. The Wi-Fi worked great, the pool was closed, but the hot tub was open. We got the Passport rate (which ends at the end of February) but that meant we were sent to the back corner, which gave us a lovely view of the interstate on-ramp. There's a casino across the interstate which meant we got a great dinner for only $10. I'm not sure I'd pay the full rate, especially since you can boon dock for free at the casino, but at half price, I'd return.
Quartzsite, Arizona
Kofa Mountain RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
This is a relatively small park with about half the sites occupied by park models. It's the only Passport America park in Quartzsite, and although the listing blacks out January and February, they quickly offered us the Passport rate during the last week of February. They guy in the office was very friendly, as were the residents in the club house. We had full services with a concrete pad and free Wi-Fi. We'd definitely stay here again.
La Quinta, California
Lake Cahuilla
[ 8/10 ]
This is a lovely county-run campground in the traditional sense of the word. There are no permanent residents, no park models and no concrete pads. But what you do get are spacious sites nestled between beautiful mountains and a small man-made lake, with great fishing and hiking. The campground host has a Wi-Fi site set up at the gate and there's a picnic table with a canopy at the site. We managed to pick it up at our campsite about 10 sites away. The only negative thing to say about this place is that it uses a central booking agency for reservations. That means it costs $7 to make a reservation and all reservations have to be made at least 48 hours in advance. That results in empty campsites because people don't show up and just forfeit the $7. Pity!
Lake Elsinore, California
Lake Elsinore Marina & RV Resort
[ 7/10 ]
This is a nice, fairly-well maintained park that could use a little work, but by-and-large it not bad. The dozen or so lake-front sites are used or reserved for park models. But if you pick your spot carefully in the second, or third row, you can still get a view of the lake. We're getting used to the tight sites at most California parks and this is no exception. We paid the Passport rate of $15 and, compared to most other parks we've visited in southern California, this is a real bargain. Having some restaurants and shopping right across the road only adds to it's value. We'd definitely return. It also has free Wi-Fi that works well.
San Diego, California
MIssion Bay RV Resort
[ 4/10 ]
This is an well-maintained asphalt parking lot with very tight sites, lots of security guards and a chain link fence. Only a few of the sites are big enough to handle a full-sized RV and a tow car/truck. The rest of us are parked in front on the road. But it's a great location, close to many tourist sites in the area. It also has an asphalt walking/biking trail along Mission Bay. But it also has lots of rules and when you check in, you sign a form that lets them charge a fine to your credit card if you break any of the rules. For example, if you accidentally spill anything while dumping, you'll be fined $50 to $200. You're not allowed to walk your dog along the waterfront after 9 a.m. and before 4 p.m., etc., etc. The waterfront site are all back-ins, which means motorhomes can't enjoy the view. Even with most of the sites empty, you're not allowed to face the ocean. We stayed here for three days and when we decided to extend our stay through the weekend, we were told our rate would almost double, despite the fact that the park was mostly empty.
El Centro, California
Rio Bend RV & Golf Resort
[ 2/10 ]
At first glance, this seems like a clean, friendly campground with a lot of appeal. It has a hot tub, a pool, a golf course and lots of activities for residents. But if you're looking for a place to stop for a few days, this place has a lot of problems. We thought the $25 they charged us as Passport members was on the high side, but when we got here we were shocked to see the posted daily rate for a pull-through site is $70. WiFi costs $13 a day and the office advised us not to connect because it never works well. The golf course, a short, very tight nine-hole executive course, charges $40 for residents. We drove a few miles and played a full-length course that was every bit as nice for just $29. When we first phoned, we were told we definitely needed a reservation because the place was "filling up fast". We had to pay the full amount, up front. When we got here, we found the place half empty. Because we were planning to arrive on a Sunday, we were told the office would be closed and there would be no one to help us. We had a terrible time finding our assigned site. We had to back in with just inches to spare between a tree and a hedge and once parked, we have to pull in the driver's side slide to access the bins on that side. Taking a nap is impossible because there is a military base nearby and the flyboys love to practice their bombing runs right over the park. There is no privacy and with two open "fields", the place becomes a dust bowl when the wind kicks up. Add to that the 11 pages of "rules" and it becomes hard to relax and have a good time. In four days, we never heard anyone laughing or having a good time.
Mesa, Arizona
Mesa Regal RV Resort (55+ Park)
[ 5/10 ]
This is one of those parks you either love or hate. The only thing previous reviewers didn't mention is that the park-wide Wi-Fi system is useless. It's so overloaded that you can never connect. But if you're willing to walk/drive to one of two libraries, you can connect easily. We used the Passport rate.
Las Cruces, New Mexico
Coachlight Inn & RV Park
[ 4/10 ]
The sites are level, big enough for any rig and have full services, including Wi-Fi. It appears to be occupied mainly by full-time residents and workers. With I-10 right beside you, expect plenty of highway noise. At the regular rate of $35, it's very over-priced. But at the Passport America rate of $18.50, it's a reasonable overnight stop. Our only problem was with the staff at the check-in desk. I have never encountered anyone so unfriendly in 10 years of RVing. The couple who checked in just ahead of us encountered the same rude welcome. We had arranged to meet friends in town or we would have walked out of the office. Pity.
North Little Rock, Arkansas
Downtown Riverside RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
This is one of the neatest campgrounds we've discovered in a long time. It recently joined the Passport America network, and that means only $10 a night. It's not often you can find campgrounds near a city's downtown. I agree with everything the previous reviewer said.
Dickson, Tennessee
Tanbark Campground
[ 4/10 ]
About the only good things you can say about this campground is that it's right on the Interstate (without the noise) and at $12.50 for full hookups for Passport America members, it sure beats a Walmart parking lot. Oh, and the host is very friendly. It's small, the sites are tight, the WiFi is slow and the guy who takes the phone reservation doesn't tell the host. But we had no major problems getting in and out and leveling our RV.
Americus, Georgia
Brickyard Plantation Golf Club & RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
We've stayed in this campground, off and on, for years and have always enjoyed our stay. It has free Wi-Fi, full hookups, a great little clubhouse and a friendly staff. Sure, there aren't many trees around, but that just makes it easier to use my satellite dish. Previous complaints about gnats are unfair. Gnats exist everywhere and they're no worse, or better, here than anywhere else. If bugs bother you, don't go to a campground. My only complaint is the golf course, which is getting worse every year and now is almost unplayable. But there are other courses in the area that are just as cheap and in much better shape. Remember, the $16 rate is for Passport America and you need a reservation.
Cochran, Georgia
The Woods Golf Course & RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
This is an undiscovered gem that is one of our favorite stops, especially because we're golfers. The campground is attached to a 27-hole golf course and this year they were offering a $15 special -- golf all day with a cart. When you set up in the campground, they bring you a golf cart and charger, which is yours to use during your stay. The golf cart is free until you go golfing. The golf carts are getting a little old, but they still work. The only negative aspect to this campground is that Cochran is a small town and there is nothing to do except golf. I should also mention that the owner and staff are exceptionally friendly.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Myrtle Beach Travel Park
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed at the Apache park just south of here last year and were most disappointed, so this year we decided to try the Myrtle Beach Travel Park. The sites are bigger, the bathroom/shower facilities are cleaner, the staff is even friendlier and the rates are competitive. You can choose between an area that is wide open and closer to the ocean, or sites that are heavily treed on a small lake. A couple of weeks ago they added free WiFi that works great. We'll definitely return.
Cherry Valley, Ontario
Quinte's Isle Campark
[ 7/10 ]
This park is well maintained and the staff is friendly. The sites are level and they have a great pool. They have Wi-Fi throughout the park, but charge $11.30 per day if you want to use it. There is also a charge for the showers. The park has a large meeting room for groups but unfortunately the nearest restrooms are a long walk away.
Elephant Butte, New Mexico
Elephant Butte Lake RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
This is a great park with friendly RV'ers and lots of organized activities. Many sites offer spectacular views. The staff members who checked us in and led us to our site were super friendly. But later, there was a different employee at the desk who was downright rude. The Wi-Fi works throughout the park and is great. We`d definitely return. We`d just try to avoid the grumpy staffer.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Enchanted Trails Camping Resort
[ 8/10 ]
The PA rate for 2 nights was $15; the Good Sam rate after that was $26. There is nothing fancy about this park, but it`s open, clean and the staff is very friendly. It`s right off I-40, but far enough away that the traffic noise is light. There is Wi-Fi in the park, but it gets overlaoded very quickly, even with the park half empty. We`d definitely return.

Review: Take smarter screenshots with COBRA Snipping Tool
COBRA Snipping Tool offers a basic yet effective tool for taking screenshots. While it is miles ahead of the default screenshot tool in Windows, it's perhaps missing some things you'd want. For one, you can't decorate or annotate your screenshot once you've taken it like you would be able to with the default Windows Snipping Tool. There isn't much in the way of customization or adaptability, either.

Buenos Aires: a City's Power and Promise
The stylish and affordable capital of Argentina has become a big hit with growing numbers of foreigners
- By Daniel Politi
- Photographs by Anibal Greco
- Smithsonian magazine, June 2009, Subscribe
"When I moved here, you had to learn how to speak Spanish," says Wendy Gosselin, a translator from Brighton, Michigan, who runs her own business and relocated to Buenos Aires a decade ago. "Now you go into a restaurant and everyone's speaking English."
Not long after Michael Legee moved to Buenos Aires from London in 2004, the 34-year-old management consultant opened the Natural Deli, a market and café offering organic fare. The concept of health food seemed so alien one local woman asked, "What are you trying to cure?" But business took off, and within a year Legee added a second deli. He's aiming for ten. "I don't have much competition," he says.
Sam Nadler and Jordan Metzner, who both graduated from Indiana University in 2005, opened a downtown burrito restaurant franchise, even though they'd been warned that Argentines, famously conservative in their food choices, would not go for Tex-Mex. Two years later, their California Burrito Company often commands half-hour lines during the lunch rush. "For the first few months, we had no idea what we were doing," Nadler says. But, he says, the low cost of starting a business gave them the freedom to make mistakes. "Now we're having fun trying to bring something new to the marketplace."
"Buenos Aires seems to be a place where people come to figure their lives out," says Kristie Robinson, 30, who moved to the city more than three years ago from London and founded The Argentimes, a biweekly English-language newspaper. "If you come with some money saved up, you can live comfortably for six months, a year. You can pretend you are in Europe here for a quarter of the cost."
Buenos Aires—"fair winds" in Spanish—has gone through many incarnations and is reinventing itself yet again. And foreigners are playing a big part this time, too, thanks to a weak peso that attracts people from all over. The capital city, situated on the Río de la Plata, one of the world's largest estuaries, has long been described as the Paris of South America, but lately people have begun comparing it to Paris of the 1920s, emblematic as the place where artists, intellectuals and others from around the world pursued their passions.
"In New York, I was just trying to pay the rent all the time," says Seth Wulsin, a 28-year-old conceptual artist who moved to Buenos Aires in 2005. "Having time and space is really helpful. It's the greatest gift." Wulsin's first project there involved strategically breaking exterior windows at a former Buenos Aires prison, then empty and on the verge of demolition, that had held political opponents of the notorious military dictatorship that controlled Argentina from 1976 until 1983, when elections restored a democratic government.
The circumstances that have recently drawn so many foreigners to Buenos Aires arose in 2001, when the nation's economy collapsed. A main cause was a 1990s monetary policy that pegged the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar, an anti-inflation measure that ended up stifling the economy. The resulting depression, combined with deficit spending financed by international borrowing, undermined Argentines' confidence and led to a run on the banks in late 2001. The government responded with limits on withdrawals, prompting riots and police clashes in which dozens of people nationwide were killed. President Fernando de la Rúa resigned. Argentina defaulted on its loans. The peso plummeted and Argentines' savings were nearly wiped out.
But the country turned into a bargain destination for people with foreign currencies. The exchange rate this past April was 3.7 pesos per U.S. dollar. Tourism, at least until the world financial collapse this past fall, has boomed, with some 2.5 million visitors to Buenos Aires in 2008, up more than sixfold since 2001.
It turns out that a surprising number of them are sticking around. Martin Frankel, the head of Expat Connection, which holds outings and seminars for English-speaking foreigners, says many people moving to Buenos Aires have no intention of staying forever but aren't just tourists, either. "The line between expats and tourists is not as clear as it used to be," he says.

I suggest dealing with a specialist for our immigration matters. Sometime you try by yourself, but in argentina could be imposible. I've contracted immigrationsupport.com.ar and forgot about problems and wasted time. And enjoy argenina, you will find lovely landscapes!

Sure, seems the robbery is a national sports now, but you are wrong, the mayor (M.Macri) is not the chief of the Federal Police, is the national government, thru the Homeland Ministry and now the Security Ministry, please check your info... ;-)

Robberies are the most popular sport and way to get easy money in Buenos Aires Capital City. The robbery at Banco Provincia is just part of daily life here, and of course the city government turns a blind eye on everybody and spends public funds on new park benches, tourist attractions and the like, Here's some video footage from a robbery at my candy store that took place back in July 2010. Nice and quick and well planned as you can see, after reporting it to the police and almost every other store on our block being held up at gunpoint, of course we still NEVER see a police officer around here. The mayor, Mauricio Macri, just had a lovely wedding and loves to blame the president for everything that happens in the country, however he is the one in charge of the police, but of course does nothing to protect the people…….NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN BUENOS AIRES, CAPITAL FEDERAL!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypn-gjCETr4

The places apartment, housing in general are as expencive as the USA if you want security and civility. I love Buenos Aires Great place to visit !!!

Please note, the last name of Argentina's liberator is San Martin, not Martin. It is sad that your editors did not catch the error.
Posted by Silvia Ruksenas on May 4,2010 | 01:03 AM
I have visited Buenos Aires plenty of times and I love it more every time I visit. The people are engaging and looking to have a good conversation with strangers, unlike most Americans. There are awesome clubs and the night life is more exciting then even in Manhattan. The food is amazing and very affordable. Yes there is some pollution and some crime, but what very large city does not have these same issues. If you are a Smart traveler you will not run into any issues with crime! Its just the idiots that walk around with gold all over that attract attention. Argentina has a lot of great qualities that America has lost over the years. The family unity is extremal strong. People love just relating in the parks and drinking mate with friends and family. Buenos Aires is thrilling and full of smart, good looking people. No question you should visit this European style city.

Hey, last year I went to Argentina and took some Tango classes. I found an apartment rental buenos aires that was great. I was near the downtown so I spent all days watching tango shows, it is a fantastic dance.
I would like to keep practising it.

Wow, the divergence of opinion is really intriguing. I'm an American heading to BA on vacation in October and I am definitely looking forward to a place where flashy, spoiled complainers are not comfortable. I'm planning on being vigilant just like everywhere else I have travelled as well as my own city (Boston). I look forward to the steak, the wine, the architecture and developing my own opinion...
Posted by James on September 2,2009 | 08:29 PM
Funny to see the bimodal perspectives here. As an American expat currently living in BA, I certainly see both sides, but two words seem to capture this place thus far--overrated and disorganized.
Beauty, charm, nostalgia, blah blah. That can be found in many places-other Latin cities, Europe, all over the world, including the states.
I suppose my problem is that everyone from abroad that needs an excuse to feel energized from their boring lives will talk up BA.
But how's this for perspective--just about every legitimate, hard-working local that I meet desperately wishes they could move to America, including New York, et. al.
The pollution is terrible, the cars are everywhere and dangerous, especially for pedestrians. The busses are plentiful yet dirty, and the people are borderline lazy. The noise, well, I have never been in a noisier city, and all-night long.
Yes, the food is tasty and inexpensive, but I don't mind cooking. However, my chief complaint is the lack of access for biking.
There is absolutely nowhere to bike and if so, would be dangerous getting there. To me, this point serves as the microcosm for BA.
To all, Suerte.
Posted by Francis Francis on August 22,2009 | 08:25 PM
Such diverse comments about a city that's always attracted me. I've lived in Paris for 2 years, Geneva for 2 years and have been to Russia many times. I was actually attacked by 3 Gypsy women (not men!) in Ekaterinburg (Ural Mountains), broad daylight, on a main street, where not one Russian came to my rescue, about 4 years ago. But can someone tell me, then, despite all the crime and pollution, which is everywhere now, how difficult is it to go, find an apartment (to rent or buy), and find work if you were, say, a qualified translator and teacher? Sounds like an exciting place which I'll be sure to visit at any rate.
Posted by Rob on August 14,2009 | 07:26 PM
I am 80 years old.In was born in BA ;I married had two children and lived there for 36 years;then I moved to USA where I am living for the last 44 years.
The Tango never abandoned my mind for a moment in all these years...It is part of myself.
Working for the toy industry ,I visited 18 countries all over the world.I was in China on three different occasions,one time for six months;another for 3 months and finally for a month and a half.
The argentinians are very intelligent diplomatics and a little bit conceited...,most of us are graduated from "la Universidad de la Calle."
With this comment I would like to reach to somebody with the authority to put together an exchange program with China for students 15-18 years old.
If we argentinians learn from the chinese how to apply our mental gifts to the good of the country, it will be the best response to all the negatives comments about ourselves from insiders and outsiders.But we have to be humble and respectfull with them,because they earned by themselves what they have.
Posted by omar nicieza on August 5,2009 | 02:33 PM
I don't know if all these complainers and detractors are just trying to scare more complainers and detractors away. If so, I hope it works.
Buenos Aires is a beautiful city in a beautiful country.
It has its flaws, but if you have some street smarts, you won't have to go back come whining about the "serious crime." Just quit flashing your money around and begging to have it stolen from you.
This is a city where those who are aware of what's going on around them can flourish and find plenty to appreciate. Those who are pampered and overprivileged should take about a month in Queens behaving the same oblivious way that got them victimized here and see where it gets them.
If you are afraid of a little dirt or smoke, or you can't live without showing off your brand new $1,000 handbag, best stay home, though.

Jennifer Marie Murphy is once again a wanted woman.
The trial of the 39-year-old HIV-positive woman charged with aggravated sexual assault was supposed to start Monday.
Murphy has been missing for more than a month. This is the second time Murphy has fled.
Murphy is facing the charge after a Barrie man claimed he had unprotected sex with her west of the downtown area a year ago.
He told police she didn't reveal her HIV-positive status and after hearing the complaint, Barrie police released Murphy's picture to see if there were any other victims.
In 2005, Murphy pleaded guilty to having unprotected sex with two men at CFB Borden. She was sentenced to one year of house arrest and three years' probation.
After serving her sentence, Barrie police said she moved back to the area about a month before the new charge was laid.
After a few court appearances, Murphy was released on bail to the Elizabeth Fry Society with a 24-hour curfew.
But on May 31 this year, she walked away from the women's shelter and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
The next day, Murphy had turned herself in to Toronto police and she was charged with failing to comply with recognizance.
She was remanded into custody at the Central North Correctional Centre in Penetanguishene and was in court in handcuffs June 15 for a brief appearance.
But shortly thereafter, Murphy was again released and told to live at the Elizabeth Fry Society.
She allegedly never showed up and police issued a warrant for her arrest Aug. 1.
On Sept. 5, she missed a scheduled court appearance.
"She failed to attend court and a bench warrant was issued for her arrest (last week)," said Barrie police Const. Toni Dufour.
"At that time, her upcoming trial was vacated, which means it was canceled."
If found, Murphy could face yet another charge of breach of recognizance and failure to go to court.
But Murphy's lawyer Angela McLeod has been waiting for a Supreme Court ruling that could affect the case.
Winnipeg's Clato Mabior appealed his 2008 conviction of aggravated sexual assault for not disclosing his HIV status to his partners.
In his appeal, his lawyer claimed Mabior was taking his HIV antiretroviral medication and there was little chance for him to spread the disease.
The courts agreed and Mabior was set free by a provincial judge, but the Crown attorney has appealed that decision in the Supreme Court.
A ruling is expected some time this fall.

The Programmers Dilemma
So what is all this talking about "automatic testing"? I know my code work so I don't have to write some "test case" just to verify that; A complete waste of time!
Just kidding. No one in their right mind would say that they write bugfree code. One of the tools to help weed out the bugs before the code hits production is automatic testing, more specifically unit testing. This helps fix some problems but it also presents some of its own.

Held since 2006, SAUC-E challenges the next generation of engineers to design and build an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) capable of performing realistic missions.
The event is designed to encourage students to think about underwater technology and related applications while fostering innovation and technology. It also aims at getting young engineers and scientists to consider careers in the field.
Participating teams must consist of 75% student members and have a faculty advisor.
From 2010 SAUC-E has been held in La Spezia (Italy) at NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC), now Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE).
After the success of the three first editions, competitors have once again in 2013 the possibility to deal with real life conditions (i.e. limited visibility and salty water) since the competition will be held for the fourth time outside at the CMRE waterfront, which is a sheltered harbor.
The Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), formerly known as NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC) is in fact pleased to announce that it will host the SAUC-E competition for the fourth time in a row. The dates are June 28 July 05, 2013.
Download the 2013 mission rules and some useful documents for the preparation for SAUC-E13.

SAUC-E '12 winners
École de Technologie Supérieure (ETS) du Quebec triumphed over 14 other teams to win the SAUC-E 12, the 7th Student Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge - Europe. The teams AUV named SONIA obtained the highest score successfully completing a number of mission tasks. The 2nd prize went to University of Luebeck from Germany (2011 Champion) with its AUV Hanse, while ENSTA Bretagne team Saucisse and Sardine from France took home the 3rd prize, closely followed by team AVALON from University of Bremen who entered the final phase as best qualifier.
The other prizes were awarded to the University of Florence team that won the Rookie of the year Award, the University of Luebeck with team SMART-E that won the Design & Innovation Award, the Cambridge University that won the Engineering Award, the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria that won the Impress the Judges Award, the ESIEA Paris with Aquatis that won the Best Use of Resources Award, the ESIEA Paris with team Ryujin that won the Affordability Award, the University of West England that won the Smart Technology Award, Heriot-Watt University that won the Multinational Award.
The competition was hosted for the third time, from 6 to 13 July 2012, by the Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), formerly known as the NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC) at its waterfront, in La Spezia, Italy. Each year SAUC-E challenges multidisciplinary University teams (consisting at least of 75% students members) to design and build Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) capable of performing realistic missions. The student AUVs must perform a series of tasks autonomously in a sheltered sea harbour, with no control, guidance or communication from a person or from any off-board computer including GPS systems. The competition encourages students to think about underwater technology and related applications while fostering innovation and technology in cooperation within the NATO countries; SAUC-E was in fact identified as an event that matched CMREs mission to use AUVs as new way of thinking and in the spirit of Smart Defence.
The 2012 edition saw the debut of the new NATO Engineering Support Team (NEST) for Student Autonomous Underwater Challenge - Europe and of the new SAUC-E Collaborative Platform, both aimed at strengthening scientific knowledge and engineering competences in the spirit of Smart Defence. This years SAUC-E event also partnered with the Marine Robotic System of Self-Organizing, Logically Linked Physical Nodes (MORPH) European Project summer school, with top international researchers giving lessons to students.
It is always a pleasure to see the students of today, who are the scientists of tomorrow, stretch their minds, explore new technologies and find innovative ways to solve common problems and engage challenges placed before them." said Mr. Andy Pickup, CMRE Deputy Director."This year, as before, all teams performed admirably and the competition was fierce. Overall the whole event was a great success".
The first three winners prizes for the main competition are 3000, 2500, 2000 Euros to be used by the team to improve their equipment for future competitions. Special awards have been released also to École Polytechnique and ENSTA Bretagne with team CISSAU that impressed the judges with their creativity, as well as University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. All the other teams received 750 Euros each to encourage their work.

Sydney 2004
Global Energy Award
German energy leader, coal and gas expert, lawyer and energy association executive Dr. Gerhard Ott has been named winner of the World Energy Council's 2004 Global Energy Award. The award was presented to Dr. Ott by World Energy Council (WEC) Chair Antonio del Rosario on 9 September, during the 19th World Energy Congress in Sydney, Australia. Gerhard Ott's career has spanned several decades. After graduation from Munich Law School, Dr. Ott became a member of the Institute for Foreign and International Patent, Copyright and Trademark Law and completed his academic education with post-graduate studies at the University of Michigan Law School in the US. He was for many years General Manager of the West German National Coal Association and also served as Managing Director of the Gas Union GmbH in Frankfurt.
A long-time member of the World Energy Council, Dr. Ott came to prominence in the organisation at the time of the 11th World Energy Congress, which took place in 1980 and was held in Munich. As Executive Director of the Congress Organising Committee, Dr. Ott's leadership, energy, vision and dedication helped make the Congress an outstanding success, bringing in over 5,000 participants.
From 1983-1986, Dr. Ott served as Chairman of WEC's Administrative Committee. In 1988, he was elected Chairman of WEC's Executive Assembly, a role he fulfilled for six years. Under his leadership, WEC prospered and grew, with the number of Member Committees rising from just over 80 when he was elected Chairman in 1988 to nearly 100 in 1995. In a follow-up to WEC's 1978 publication, World Energy - Looking Ahead to 2020, Dr. Ott convened a WEC Commission comprised of energy leaders from around the world to consider pressing issues of energy, environment and the economy. This work resulted in one of WEC's best-known and distinguished publications, Energy for Tomorrow's World (1993). |
He also launched the initial stage of WEC's work at the regional level, focussing on Africa and Central and Eastern Europe; strengthened WEC management in London; and, with the help of several other energy leaders, established the WEC Foundation. During his time as Chair of WEC's Executive Assembly, and in particular in the course of preparing WEC's Congresses (1992 in Madrid and 1995 in Tokyo), Dr. Ott's wife Marianne was always by his side, serving as hostess, diplomat, sounding board and advisor.
In 1996, Dr. Ott was named President of the German Member Committee of WEC, a position he has held for almost ten years, and which he will hand over, after completion of the Sydney Congress, on 1 January 2005. He has participated in many WEC studies and activities -- WEC's first global study of The Benefits and Deficiencies of Energy Sector Liberalisation, published for the Houston Congress in 1998, is just one example of his leadership. He also served as President of the Moscow International Energy Club from 1996 to 2003.
In his work in the international energy sector, which has stretched over many decades, Dr. Ott stresses, "I have always made it a particular point to focus on issues and strategies of a global and long-term nature, as against often too narrow and too short-term politics. I have also committed myself - beginning with the Munich Congress in 1980 - to creating a better understanding of the needs of developing countries in order to build bridges instead of deepening the gap between the so-called First and Third Worlds". Created by the World Energy Council in 1998, the Global Energy Award is presented at each triennial World Energy Congress to an eminent international personality who has contributed substantially to the understanding of the global energy sector, who has supported the World Energy Council in its work and who has made significant contributions to his company or organisation, government, community and country. Nominations for the award are made by WEC Member Committees, and the winner is selected by WEC's Board of Trustees, the Officers Council.

By Sharmine Narwani
On Sunday, around 1,000 unarmed civilians marched to the ceasefire line between Syria and the Golan Heights to protest Israel's occupation of Arab lands following the 1967 war. Hours later, in the worst bloodshed since the 1973 war between Israel and Syria, up to 23 civilians were dead and hundreds wounded after Israeli troops opened live fire on the protestors.
In the West Bank, fellow protestors were only injured, as Israeli troops used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds that were only a few feet away from them.
In Majd al Shams on the occupied Golan Heights, however, the Palestinian and Syrian demonstrators were many yards away – behind barbed wire fences – never having crossed any ceasefire line.
As was the case with the 11 unarmed protestors in Lebanon killed by Israeli forces on May 15 in Maroun al Ras. Those civilians had not crossed any border either.
Israel's fears are understandable. The notion that Palestinians and Syrians can "just walk home" to their occupied houses and villages could destroy the deterrence barriers that Israel has worked hard to erect since 1948 and 1967. Which is why it was important for the Jewish State to teach these populations a lesson, even if it meant killing a few dozen.
That makes Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu no different than Libya's Muammar Qaddafi, Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, Syria's Bashar al Assad, Bahrain's Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Tunisia's Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh – and other autocrats still waiting their turn.
All fired live rounds at unarmed civilian populations voicing their grievances and exercising their right to congregate in public.
Justifying Civilian Death
Just three weeks earlier, on May 15, Palestinian and Syrian protestors in the Golan Heights broke through the barbed wire fence, poured over the ceasefire line, met up with friends and relatives, and then went home. One particularly determined fellow – 28-year-old Hassan Hijazi who was galvanized by a Facebook group to join the protests – even decided to visit his parent's old house in Jaffa and hitched a ride alongside some Israeli soldiers to get there. He later turned himself in to authorities and was duly escorted back to the ceasefire line by security agents.
That very recent incident contrasted sharply on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's portrayal of the Golan demonstrators as "extremist elements" who "are trying to break through our borders and threaten our communities and our citizens."
As the Israeli spin machine went into overdrive, we were subjected to the kinds of drivel we are by now used to hearing from regional dictators on their last legs:
The it-wasn't-us argument: "A Syrian mine exploded, seemingly because Molotov cocktails thrown at (Israeli) forces started a bush fire which caused the explosion of the mine, a number of mines even," an Israeli army spokeswoman said – ostensibly blaming the deaths on mines and not IDF bullets.
The deflection argument: "We believe that the Syrian regime is focusing the world's attention on the border with Israel instead of what is happening there," said another military spokesperson.
The extremists-are-involved argument: Oops. Netanyahu did that one himself.
Military spokesman Yoav Mordechai called the killings "a measured, focused and proper response." The only thing that apparently needs "measuring" is his sanity – the videos of the Golan clashes clearly show protestors behind a barbed wire fence being shot at by Israeli sharpshooters. Like target practice. (more…)

And as a matter of fairness, he wants everybody, especially his own employees, to have health insurance. But the law Garry supports is kicking his behind.

The name of a wrong-way driver on I-25 who died early Thursday has been released.
The El Paso County Coroners Office said the victim has been identified as 19 year old Mathou Valenciano.
The Colorado State Patrol said Valenciano was driving north in the southbound lanes of I-25 near Ray Nixon Road when he collided head-on with a FedEx truck about 4:30 Thursday morning. Valenciano was ejected and died at the scene. The driver of the FedEx truck, Steven Hall of Pueblo, was uninjured. The highway south of Fountain was closed for hours.
It is unknown is drugs or alcohol played a roel in the crash.
