As summer approaches and families are beginning their preparations for traveling – be it to summer camp, national monuments, or grandma’s house, the key is to be prepared. Family trips are often our best memories of our kids’ young years. The laughing, the discovery of new and exciting places, and for some just being away from home and experiencing life in a hotel room. While traveling with children can be enjoyable, any parent can tell you, a long plane or car ride can be challenging with little ones in tow.

In speaking with Penny Cohen, Child Development Specialist and Speech and Language Pathologist, she offered the following tips for traveling with children. Keep this list of tips handy when you start to pack – it will be a great resource and help everyone have a safe and memorable trip.

When you hear of the word mixtape, you think of a bunch of tracks that is burned on a cd and sold by guys on the street. You often don’t know the tracks, the quality is bad and often the tapes are not mixed properly so the music always stops after each track.

Most people also prefer not only to hear but also to watch the videoclip of their favourite tracks.

But when you turn your tv and the wait until they show your videoclips, you can sit there for hours.

The new kind of mixtapes solve all these problems. They are mixed properly by professional DJ’s, they are 100% original and not burned copies, and – and that is the main difference – you can watch the clip while the music is playing! Whenever you want to!

This is perfect for your new car audio-system. Your friends will be off the hook when they can listen and watch their artists in your car!

The dvd-mixtapes are also perfect for club or bar-owners. They can put the dvd into their dvd-player and show the clips on a beamer. The customers can watch the latest clips while the music never stops.

You can get all these advantages for the same price like a burned bad quality cd without any clips.

So what would you do?

ARLINGTON ROAD (Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins) (1999) Do you know who your friendly neighbors actually are? And could they be the same folks who blew up the federal building in a large Midwestern metropolis and intending to do even worse right in the heart of the nation’s capital?

And can a history professor, who has lost his FBI agent wife in a bust that went very wrong a few years back, can save us from the impending disaster?

This thriller, with a script that won the prestigious Nichols screenplay competition in 1996, is a good watch. The ending is especially noteworthy. It is as good as the ending of the SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Both lead actors do their jobs well. No problem there either. Supporting cast also shine.

But there is a whopper of a “coincidence” towards the end of the movie that enables Bridges to see and follow the white van that carry both his kidnapped son and the explosives – that is hard to swallow! Too much.

What are the chances of “just seeing” The Van drive by when you are checking out the public phone at a shopping mall that your murdered girlfriend has last seen using? How many times in life people “just happen to stumble upon” such crucial evidence in broad daylight, in as busy a public domain as a shopping mall? That ruined the whole viewing experience for me.

A good thriller if you can just gloss over that kind of a gaping hole in the script. A 6 out of 10.
