"Santander to Plymouth"
Reviewed 15 October 2014 by Anonymous
My wife and I usually travel to Calais for the hour crossing to Dover but this time she encouraged me to do the longer crossing hoping it may be a fore runner to go cruising, something I'd never wanted to do. This was a big mistake as the crossing was horrendous from about an hour after the ship left Santander it started rocking and bobbing around. It was difficult to walk around and almost impossible to sleep. This lasted for the whole journey and at one point mid morning everything on the tables in the cabin ended on the floor. It added almost 2 hours to our journey, my wife is disappointed as I will never agree to cruising, for me, but will possibly try Santander again as I cannot believe this was a typical crossing.

"Relaxed ending to a wonderful holiday"
Reviewed 18 June 2014 by Kathleen Mackay
I was very impressed with the ferry service from Santander to Plymouth. I booked a 4 berth cabin for my daughter, granddaughter and myself. We found the cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable night's sleep and the ensuite was excellent. The Pont Aven is a modern ship with pleasant decor. I think that the number of passengers may have been low on our crossing so there was no crowding or queuing at any time. It was unfortunate that the sailing time was delayed due to a previous technical problem but we were informed by text in good time. On arrival in Plymouth it meant that we missed out on an evening and meal with friends but we were able to use our pre-booked train tickets for Scotland next day. We enjoyed our mini-cruise!

This was a first for us. It was a wonderful experience, I suppose the weather was a major factor, but it couldn't have been better. Great accommodation in a very compact cabin. Overall a great success. We even spotted dolphins!

The Spanish city and port of Santander is the capital of the autonomous community and historical region of Cantabria on the north coast of Spain and lies to the east of Gijon and to the west of Bilbao. Popular tourist attractions in the city include the Cathedral of Santander, the lower temple (the "cripta del Cristo") was built in the 12th century on earlier Roman buildings. Its architectural style is a transition from Romanesque to Gothic. The upper church was built between the 13th and 14 the centuries.
Santander's port transports around 150,000 passengers each year to the ports of Plymouth and Portsmouth in the United Kingdom. The crossing time to Portsmouth is around 24 hours and 20 hours to Plymouth. The port has excellent road and rail facilities that provide good links with Portugal, the Spanish Costa's and other parts of Spain. Passenger facilities in the port include banks, supermarkets, a restaurant, tourist information desk and a souvenir shop.

One week ago, we were commemorating the fifth anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks. That spurred us to ask whether we are safer than we were five years ago. In many ways, the country is focused on securing the homeland in ways that it wasn't before. But are we as safe as we should be? That is the important and perhaps more difficult question. To answer it, we must look at the agencies responsible for protecting the country's security.
One way of assessing the health of an organization is by looking at the amount of turnover, particularly in key positions. The announcement earlier this month that Scott Hastings will be leaving his post as chief information officer of the Homeland Security Department's U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program once again reminded us of the level of churn within that agency.
Hastings is just the latest high-level official to leave DHS. Earlier this year, Jim Williams, US-VISIT's director, left DHS to join the General Services Administration; Lee Holcomb, DHS' chief technology officer, decided to retire from government and join the private sector; and Maureen Cooney, the department's acting chief privacy officer, left for a law practice.
That trend is disconcerting, and we think it says something about the health of DHS as an agency.
There were parts of Federal Computer Week's story last week about Hastings' departure that were even more jarring. Clark Kent Ervin, a former DHS inspector general, said the reasons for the high level of turnover are no mystery. They include what Ervin called "a well-deserved reputation for dysfunction, an inadequate budget, incompetent and unaccountable leadership, and low morale."
The list of recent departures among DHS' senior ranks would seem to bear out Ervin's comments.
DHS has an important mission: protecting the country from another terrorist attack and preparing the country to be ready in the event of an emergency. People stay at DHS despite the problems Ervin noted because they believe in that mission.
DHS senior spokesman Larry Orluskie attempted to explain the departures as typical of any organization. The people who have left recently were part of the first generation of leaders brought in to create the new department, and it is natural that they would begin to cycle out, he said.
But DHS is not just any agency. Turnover is something to worry about in all organizations, but it is particularly troubling at DHS because of the agency's mission. DHS is attempting to unify the systems of 23 different agencies, and it is seeking to enable the government to share information. Those efforts will take experience and time, and we are concerned that there is not enough continuity for the agency to move forward on those important tasks.
Unfortunately, the agency's inability to keep key leaders only fuels the perception that five years after the terrorist attacks, DHS looks like an agency without a clear direction or focus.

What kind of rewards can i expect from the scarabs and crystal skulls?Hoping they are worth the effort.
Heard there was a co-op mode,is it worth playing?If so is it easy to find others to play with?
How about replayability?Is there a NG+,if so can you take all your unlocks to a higher difficulty in NG+?

Perfect sized compartment boxes for holding and organizing small parts
I am using these compartment boxes to organize several containers of crimp (soldier-less) connectors. Now able to find the right connector without searching. Plan to purchase more of these boxes for other small parts.
Great deal for the money! needs real hinges ro make it perfect
The horz dividers pop out leaving 6 ~ 6" compartments, perfect for my tool box heat shrink assortment.
The glue on the over-sized label has to go! Come on it hides 30% of the contents and I don't want to dissolve the box with harsh chemicals. Alcohol did not work.
I ordered 3 of these and the latches do not work on any of them. They will not close, and they are flimsy and easily break if you put too much pressure to try and make them close.
Great for small parts storage, durable enough if kept in the shop & under 15lbs. of items per box. I doubt they would stand up to field or heavy use (the latches are so-so) but they have been the perfect answer to organizing components in the shop.

Already have an account? Login
I'm interested in picking up a SB-80DX since they are a fully featured flash that has a wireless mode. Since I use my SB-800 in manual mode would it work as a Master flash that could trigger a SB-80DX as a slave wirelessly?
mVsD2x, D300s, D700 & D800
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
Mark,IIRC, in that configuration, you will need to use SU4 mode to trigger the SB-80DX.
Roger It's still, ISO, aperture and shutter-speed, right?
I thought about getting an SB-80DX to use as a 4th flash. I have an SU-800 controlling my SB-600, 700, and 900. I also know the SB-80 isn't CLS so it won't work with my commander, so my question is this.If I set all my flashes to manual, and use the commander to control the newer flashes, will the commander prematurely set off the SU-4 slave in the SB-80?
Hi George,Yes! If you have the Master Speedlight set in Commander mode, the pre-flash sequence will fire the remotes in SU-4 mode before the shutter opens.The Speedlight that you use as the Commander must also be set in Manual flash mode.You could have the Built in Speedlight (set in Manual flash mode) to trigger both the SB-700 and SB-900 (both set in SU-4 mode), the SB-600 (set in Manual mode and in the hotshoe of an SU-4), and the SB-80DX (set in Wireless Slave mode).You could also use the SB-600 on camera set in Manual flash mode to optically trigger the other Speedlights as discribed above.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,Marty
You will not have the iTTL features of the SB-800 you will be fully manual and have to set the power level at the remotes.The SB-80DX has a TTL but it is the film TTL and uses a reflection off the film emulsion and is not the same as the CLS iTTL system.

(b La Rochelle, 30 Nov. 1825; d La Rochelle, 19 Aug. 1905). French painter. In 1850 he won the Prix de Rome, and after his return to France in 1854 he became an immensely successful and influential exponent of academic art, upholding traditional values and contriving to exclude avant-garde work from the Salon—Cézanne once expressed regret at being rejected by the 'Salon de Monsieur Bouguereau'. He painted portraits of photographic verisimilitude, slick and sentimental religious works, and coyly erotic nudes. His reputation sank after his death and for many years his work was regarded as irredeemably empty and vulgar. However, he has recently achieved something of a rehabilitation, his work becoming the subject of serious study and fetching huge prices in the saleroom.

About William OBrien
Until recently I have been living and traveling within the extraordinary geographic boundary of Nova Scotia, Canada, where I have drawn and taken pictures of some pretty nifty spots. My primary focus with my visual efforts is to find balanced, textural material that will evoke a story or a feeling of peace within the viewer and from time to time examine our social and personal conflicts with provocative, introspective images.
In recent years I have put more energy into my drawing and painting, both digitally and with various colour mediums such as pencils, pens and acrylics, using 10 years of photographic material as reference content.
Calling southern Ontario my home base I am presently at large and can be found most consistently through my email address webweaver @mail.com . I look forward to hearing from you.

Holy galloping heart rate, Batman! I gave myself a 3 min break between circuits and had to build in a few 15 second breaks in the second circuit. Oh, and I had to do girl push ups. The goals are to get rid of the extra breaks, build the jump roping up to a minute and get to real push ups.

Has anyone tried this place, it's on Urban Spoon but no comments as of yet. I hope it's not like Wild Wing or AllStars however some of the flavour names sound the same.
re: Brain of J
I still can't believe no one has tried this place yet!
re: callitasicit
Tried this place and it was good
Big crispy wings, sauced well and not a soaky starchy mess.
got more wings than purchased, not sure if that was only done as they were newly opened at the time and they wanted a happy returning patron.

Nearly half of consumers polled in the latest PriceGrabber survey said that retailers are serving up better back-to-school promotions this year, compared with 2011.
Shopkick, a shopping application that rewards shoppers for walking into stores and interacting with products, has teamed up with CVS/pharmacy to roll out a first-ever offering of walk-in and other rewards at a retail pharmacy, Shopkick announced on Tuesday.
Nothing beats the experience of shopping in a store: touching and feeling the merchandise, enjoying the ambiance of the store with the Muzak playing in the background, engaging with the retailer's wonderful customer service representatives and then pulling up that product on Amazon.com and clicking "check out."
Consumers are more comfortable sharing data with retailers than they are with social networks, especially if it enhances the shopping experience, according to a recent survey conducted by the E-tailing Group and MyBuys.
Days of cutting back-to-school spending are over, as nearly 9-in-10 consumers plan to spend the same or more, according to Deloitte's annual back-to-school survey.
Sales of over-the-counter medicines through alternate retail channels have grown by a compound annual growth rate of 9.4% from 2006 through 2011, far exceeding the 2.4% overall growth rate through all retail outlets, noted Kline in a report released Monday.
In 2006, Time magazine added a twist to its annual "Person of the Year" cover story, replacing the usual picture of some prominent individual with a picture of a glossy computer screen to show that social networking had made "you" the person of the year. Now, the idea that it's all about "you" has percolated into retail.
IBM's fifth annual "Online Retail Holiday Readiness" report has uncovered that 2012 may just be the year of mobile.
Once again, consumers are putting off back-to-school shopping until the last minute, but retailers can take solace in the fact that they intend to spend more this year, NPD reported.
Back-to-school shoppers plan on stretching their dollar and taking advantage of retailer incentives to save, PriceGrabber said.
A survey released by the National Retail Federation and conducted by BIGInsight found that the average parent will spend $688.62 on back-to-school items this year, compared with $603.63 last year. Total spending is expected to reach $30.3 billion.
Aisle411, a mobile retail navigation service, on Tuesday announced that its virtual mapping and navigation smartphone application is available to use in all of Walgreens' 7,907 drug stores nationwide.
It seems that traditional grocery stores and established food brands may lose their position in the market due to a confluence of changing demographics, economic factors and customer preferences, according to new research from global investment bank Jefferies and global business advisory firm AlixPartners.
Social media is an important component of ongoing brand marketing, as well as any advertising campaign for a drug store retailer or brand. Integrated communications have the most impact because earned, owned and paid media reinforce and amplify the message. All channels feed off each other; the more frequently a potential customer sees or hears about a brand or retailer, particularly in more than one context or venue, the more likely she is to remember and purchase.
It seems that shoppers worldwide expect a seamless integration across online, social media, mobile and physical stores, according to a new global report released by Capgemini.
Remember when retail transactions were completed based only on the assortment found within the confines of a brick-and-mortar store? Truth is, we may never return to those days.
Smartphones do — and will continue to — influence retail sales. The surveys that suggest this continue to mount, and a new Deloitte study serves as further evidence that retailers and manufacturers are wise not to rest on their laurels.
Smartphones will continue to influence retail sales and will grow to represent 19% of total store sales by 2016, according to new Deloitte research.
The 2012 National Association of Chain Drug Stores Marketplace Conference will kick off this weekend, boasting business programming and opportunities, as well as a glimpse of the innovations and programming that are in store for NACDS' Total Store Expo that will debut in 2013.
The purchasing behaviors of consumers continue to reflect the ever-challenging economic climate, according to a new report from Acosta Sales and Marketing.
Looking to target multicultural consumers in today's tech-savvy environment? If so, then you'll be interested to know that, according to a recent study, African-Americans and Hispanics are adopting new shopping technologies at a faster rate than Caucasians.
Drug store chains have an enormous appetite for consumables. Fresh food sales — defined as dairy, deli, fresh meat and fresh produce — grew nearly 13% year over year through April, according to ACNielsen data.
Pacific World is a provider of nail care products and beauty accessories and sells its products in more than 85,000 doors in more than 80 countries. Joel Carden, EVP of Pacific World, recently talked with Drug Store News about what has led to the global beauty company's success and how it continues to achieve growth through retailer partnerships, innovation and mergers.
With more than half of U.S. online shoppers buying beauty and personal care products online, beauty brands and retailers must embrace multichannel marketing in order to succeed and reach consumers where they are, according to a new study by A.T. Kearney and its Global Consumer Institute.
Nearly half of U.S. shoppers plan to spend more this back-to-school shopping season than in 2011, according to a recent PriceGrabber survey.

Kansas House Approves Bill To Make Affidavits For Search Warrants Public
The Kansas House has approved and sent a bill to the Senate that allows more access to police documents about the reason behind arrests.
The bill also would make affidavits justifying search warrants open to the parties involved.
The bill advanced 113-10 on Thursday, as the House finished work on dozens of bills ahead of the first major legislative deadline of the session.
A tougher fight for the bill is expected in the Senate.
Individuals whose homes are searched would have 30 days to request documentation explaining the reason for the search.
Kansas is one of the few states that seal probable-cause affidavits.
Prosecutors have raised concerns that opening the records could jeopardize the safety and privacy of victims and witnesses.

Radar is an acronym that stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging. A weather radar consists of a parabolic dish (it looks like a satellite dish) encased in a protective dome and mounted on a tower of up to five stories tall. About 150 NEXRAD (NEXt generation of weather RADar) Doppler radars were installed throughout the U.S. in the 1990s. The radar itself does not delineate between rain and snow but AccuWeather's proprietary algorithms do, based on atmospheric conditions. The state-level Snow/Ice/Rain (Standard) radar images update every 5 minutes on AccuWeather.com Premium, which also gives access to longer loops of radar data. The exclusive AccuWeather.com StormTimer(tm) plots the expected movement of significant storms over the next hour, and also gives access to storm details like hail and rotation. AccuWeather.com RadarPlus offers an interactive weather experience with street-level radar, satellite and lightning data, as well as PredictiveRadar which moves the current radar picture 4 hours into the future.

I have to develop an app for the Ipad. It has to be non-browser based. That's a requirement and I can't change it.
I think it likely that the app would be useful on other tablet PC types and have a good chance of a second app which requires IPad and Android at a minimum; Windows and Linux would also be useful.
If it makes any differences these are "desktop" apps for tablet PCs and it is not envisaged that there will be any handphone development.
Is there a "Grand Unifying Theory" of cross-platform desktop app development? Is there a good IDE, preferably FOSS? I'd rather code C++ or Java and am less keen on Ruby or Python (through lack of experience) but would accept if there is no alternative.
I need a GUI builder, something like Borland Delphi or MSVC or the Eclipse Android plugin and I need a way of executing different code on different platforms (#ifdef Android … etc)
Any ideas, or should I just go ahead and code the current project for Ipad only and stick to browser based HTML5 + CSS3 with Jquery/Ajax for cross platform apps (the problem being that some will need to execute native system calls, like en/de-crypting a file and at least one app has to work in "local mode" if there is so internet access, so I guess I would have to bundle a web server (Apache) if I go browser based (in order to serve the web pages), which would not be necessary with a "desktop app".
Any recommended IDEs, Web sites? Books? Thanks

Travel-search player Kayak.com is expected to launch a beta of its self-service auction-based bidding environment for hotel and airline advertisers today. The debut of the CPC (define) ad tool comes in conjunction with the official consumer launch of the site itself.
Hotel chains and individual hoteliers can bid to appear higher in results when Kayak users search for accommodations options. Paid results are displayed with a "K" symbol to inform users the hotel displayed is an advertiser. Hotel marketers can tailor bids so their results appear higher for certain stays, lengths of stays, particular markets, or specific hotel brands.
"A hotel can say, 'I need demand for the following stays,'" said Steve Hafner, cofounder and CEO of Kayak.
Additionally, Kayak is offering contextually targeted text advertisements that appear adjacent to search results. Both hotel and airline advertisers can buy these slots. If a user searches for flights to New York, for example, the ads could be for hotels in the Big Apple. Currently, ads Kayak has sold are augmented with ads from Google's AdSense program.
Kayak has been testing its advertising offerings with a "handpicked" group of 30 advertisers but is now opening its system more widely.
Though Kayak doesn't yet command a high volume of traffic, the company hopes to change that through a combination of marketing and distribution deals. It recently signed a deal for its listings to appear on CNN.com and is building a site with America Online. Company execs say they will announce additional affiliate relationships in the coming weeks.
"Today we have [25,000] to 30,000 unique visitors a day," said Paul English, cofounder and CTO of Kayak. "Our goal is to take that number to well over 10 million visitors a month."
Kayak's helps hotel advertisers drive traffic to their own sites and booking engines, bypassing more costly distribution methods, such as online travel agents.

What Pests are you battling?
I havenÂt seen such a year! I started out with rabbits, now insects. So far IÂve had to dig my irises because of the dreaded iris borer. ( IÂm going to use more sanitation methods this fall!) My annuals have been hit by a beetle. They go into the stems and cause havoc.
My poor poor Lupines. That stupid earwig made its way into the stems. I cut them all back. I sprayed the area, and so far I have healthy new growth. It wonÂt be long before the farm fields around me will be sprayed. ThatÂs a whole new problem. Last year I was bomb barded by all sorts of pests with in hours of aerial spraying. All I can do is take a deep breath and go to work cleaning out the infected areas. I burned all my cutting.
1. Laziness and lack of imagination
2. (Calamity) Jane - new dog - digger of big holes and stealer/hider of garden tools, plastic pots, gloves, garden stakes, remover of wallpaper ... Gotta lover her!
3. Thistles! - they're everywhere this year! Worse than the dandelions.
4. Grasshoppers - looks like it's going to be a very bad year for them
OK, enough whining from me.
Does anyone have a good recipe for trapping them? The soy sauce + oil isn't really working, the cat food + dish soap isn't even attracting cats. The bugs are everywhere, and I'm tired of having them fall on me when I open the back door. Then they play all innocent and scurry around looking for a place to hide. Aack-y things.
And yes, there are thistles in new places, and I lost a third of my tomato plants to wilt, too.
I have a bug that has ruined most of
my phlox. It is called phlox bug. I
am not diligent enough when it comes to dusting & spraying.My poor roses!
I haven't seen any earwigs,but hub said 1 was in the kitchen.Then we have a bug that is only attracted by the blooms of the Linden tree.It's pesty.Doesn't bite or eat anything,
likes to crawl into neck of T shirt.
I hope we don't get grasshoppers. They are bad in drought. One year I
would catch them in a jar & dispose of them. They liked my big Zinnias &
just about everything else.I have never seen the striped cucumber bugs so bad.We aren't going to have any cukes.They eat a lot of my flowers too.I even have aphids on my water lilies!! Doris

Second wave of Monarchs
Just when the leaves were begining to come back on my milkweed, I went out to water and I counted more that 15 new monarch cats munching away.... Three of my yard plants have cats, but the three potted plants siting outside of my greenhouse have no signs of cats....YET!
I am still seeing some in the central pathway, so you should be seeing them for a bit longer in San Antonio. Bandzmom, you should be in or close to the Atlantic pathway. Have you checked the Journey North migration map? Looks like there's still activity in your area.
Here is a link that might be useful: Migration Map at Journey North
I haven't been seeing but maybe 1 or 2 every few days but am seeing several Queens daily.
I was in Dallas on Wednesday with my husband for several Dr appts & had some time to kill, so I went to the Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park...there were several dozen monarchs nectaring on frostweed there! I didn't see any cats on their milkweed plants but it was very encouraging to me that they are still coming through in abundance! I am planning to add frostweed plants in several areas in my yard because of the nectar attraction this time of year! I am still seeing quite a few GFs, Hackberry Emporers, & skippers in my yard. I usually have BF activity well into November here just west of DFW metroplex.

Have I killed my garlic?
I planted my garlic last fall and after a good frost, covered the growing tips with a few inched of straw. When covered, the size of the growth ranged from just an inch of a tip popping out of the ground to a couple with 3-4 inches of growth and 3-4 separate leaves. Some obviously grew faster than others during a late warm spell last fall.
I have now uncovered my garlic only to find that those growing tips are yellow pieces of mush. I have not dug into the soil to see if the bulbs are mush too.
Should I expect renewed growth out of these or should I just start over and plant new cloves right now?
I almost always get some tip burn due to deep freezes but yellow pieces of mush sound more severe and I've only seen that when the garlic drowned. I'd carefully dig around a couple of cloves and see if they are still firm - if they are, you should get nice new growth very soon. I hope you find that it's just the tops ...

Fruit trees & raccoons.
I have six fruit trees spaced about 10 feet apart. For the past two years I have been cleaned out overnight by raccoons right before harvest time. After doing considerable studying on the matter, I have concluded that my best two choices for deterring the raccoons is; 1) a metal baffle around the trunk of the tree, or 2) an electric fence around the trees. If I use a baffle, does anyone have a design that I could use temporarily, just during harvest time and take apart easily? If I use an electric fence, does anyone know if I can connect eight circular loops in a string to one controller or does it have to be a non-loop configuration?
Erect a fence. You can use deer fencing around several trees or make small fences around each individual tree. With smaller fencing, you can attach a strip of chicken wire around the top by connecting the bottom of the chicken wire to the top of the fence. When the raccoon climbs on the chicken wire it will flip him over and dump him away from the trees.

Peek, the Email-Only Device Goes On Sale Monday
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
Remember the email-only device, Peek, that I got a peek of early (I know, I know, but I couldn't resist)? It looks like it'll be available for sale on Monday at Target, and it's already available for preorder on its website.
I guess we weren't the only ones who were into this simple little device — not only does NYT tech columnist (and my idol) David Pogue love it, the turquoise and cherry colors are already on back order.
I can't wait to see Peek on Target shelves — and at $100, with the $20/month subscription service, I'm curious to see who'll be picking these up. Are you going to get one?

i don't get why people think having a smartphone means you have to make yourself available. you still have control of how you spend your time. if i don't want to be bothered, i don't answer. it's that simple. and you can send all the emails and texts you want but i determine when they get answered. not someone else.
hautepink 6 years
Honestly... It's not pointless, it's just coming out too late in the game. I understand why someone would justify getting a Peek. Someone who doesn't have the ability to have a blackberry or iPhone (due to the insane amount of money it takes to pay for one, to pay for plans, to pay for the accidents and buying a replacement.) but really....it seems pointless. If you live in an area like me, I'm surrounded by computers all the time...there is no need for such a device, especially when I have an iPhone already as well.. Sorry Peek..you should of came out and played 5 years ago.
joygwilson 6 years
there are already too many things in my purse. i say pay a little more, get an iphone, and do it as an all in one. much easier. this idea might have gone over well ten years ago, before all phones had internet capability but now, its just too late.

If it comes down in price, I could understand getting one, but with that on top of your regular cell phone bill, you might as well just get a blackberry or iphone, no?
syako 6 years
I'll admit, at first I thought "why!?" but then I read some of the comments on your initial review and here's what I think about it! I am a self-proclaimed "I only need my cell phone to be a phone" person and I will never go the smart phone route. Part of me asks, why not just get a black berry and be done with it instead of lugging two separate gadgets but then I thought how nice it would be to check my email at certain times (like on the train in the morning or maybe on long car trips) but other times I'd hate to have it available (like on vacation, or a random trip to the store to run errands). The thing I hate about blackberry is that you have no excuse for not being reached by phone or email. With this, I can easily say, I left my peek at home! Sorry! :P
