I love Santa Barbara. So much fun and there is so much to do there, you really can't get bored. I was just there and had a really great time. The weather was perfect so the beaches was where I spent most of my time and of course a good amount of downtown shopping! We stayed at the Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). So budget friendly and the location is perfect!

Where I stayed
We finally got out of the car centric, noisy town and into the suburbs, walking past a yard sale, and a backyard being set up for a colourful looking wedding reception. The road had been stencilled with butterflies and flowers. We were starting to get the sense that the real Santa Barbara was a little different to the town we had just walked through. We kept coming across walkers, wearing pink, attempting a marathon for breast cancer.
By the time we got to the Mission, we were disgustingly sweaty
Having bought our lunch, we came across a pretty park where we sat and ate our lunch, then slept a bit, read a bit, slept a bit more and listened to the sound of kids birthday parties in the background. There was a real community feel to the park that was a million miles away from the tourist bustle a few blocks away.
After further dozing, we picked ourselves up and headed back towards the hostel. As we were walking down one side street, we heard some strange music coming from small gated courtyard attached to a house. On closer inspection, it turned out there was a band playing. There were five members, mostly bearded, all of whom were playing some form of percussion. Strange. We started to listen a bit harder…is that? No? They were playing the Sound of Music - Favourite Things. At the end of the song, they announced themselves as 'Monkey C', putting on a show for the opening of a gift shop just round the corner
After a swift change, we headed down to the beach, where several hundred American flags had been set out to commemorate the September 11th terrorist attacks. The effect was quite impressive. We walked at least a mile down the beach before turning and heading back into the sunset over the hills. Sadly, we were heading back to the most disgusting hostel in the world, so this romantic image didn't quite have the happy ending it deserved.
Not to worry - we would head back to the cinema and immerse ourselves once again in another world. Unfortunately, that other world was Julia Roberts latest, Eat Pray Love. It was so unremittingly awful, that we walked out half way through. We took ourselves past the bums and the bars, and looked forward to leaving for LA in the morning.

Santa Barbara is the best city for relaxation and escaping the hectic lifestyle of the big city. A good book and a pristine spot on the beach is one of the best things you could do if you are seeking our recuperation time. An elegant hotel to escape the noise of downtown would be the South Coast Inn (www.santa-barbara-hotel.com). So lovely and the best place to call home while on vacation.

Date of Stay: November, 2016
We had truck problems and needed to unhook our trailer in order to get the repairs done. This is predominantly a seasonal or year round park. As with many RV parks, they try and fit as many money makers as they can so the sites are very small. Supposedly it was a pullthrough site. So as the host guided us in 1) the utilities were on the wrong side so they needed to be fed under the camper-not acceptable 2) if we had stayed that way, our neighbors sewer was right in the middle of our lawn. Needless to say we turned the other way, opposite to everyone else. Our yard area was 4 feet wide and the length of our rig. Going back to staying in state parks. Larger sites, not so concerned about squeezing just one more rig in the park.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
We stayed here for only one night to use the electricity for air conditioning. It is an older campground with lots of old growth trees. The clerk at the front desk was pleasant and took us to our site, something a lot of campgrounds do not do. My only complaint was that it was rather hilly to get to our site. The pad was absolutely level but the area around it was bumpy and full of roots, so I tripped a few times when outside. I would stay here and would recommend it to others.
Date of Stay: July, 2016
We stopped at this park for a one night stay on our way to Washington DC. It has many seasonals but sites and RVs have been well kept. It reminds me of the RV parks that we have stayed at in Florida, (which is a complement). I was actually sorry that we only had the opportunity to stay one night. It would be a great place to spend a week or a season. We will return if we are ever in the area.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
We stayed here for 2 weeks out of necessity. We had been here 12 years ago and really enjoyed it. Since then it has deteriorated considerably. Granted it has been a rainy season and the roads are horribly rutted, like going through the park on a roller coaster. The roads are soft, coarse sand, filled with ruts and of course, being in the foothills of the Rockies it is all up and downhill. These things combined makes it for very dangerous footing. The grass, at least since we have been here, has never been mowed and I have never seen anyone addressing the ruts in and along the side of the road. We will be leaving as soon as feasible and not returning.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
This is an excellent RV park to use as a base for visiting St. Augustine. To explain my "no" about clean restrooms and showers. It is not a criticism. They do not have a shower house. So the park does not take tenters. It is a gated park but did not cause any problem going in and out. There are beautiful photo opportunities along the Pellicer Creek which is adjacent to the park. Lots of trees provide shade and beauty. Jerry-the owner, could not have been nicer or more helpful and gave us a lot of recommendations of places to visit in St Augustine. Would definitely recommend this park and will be returning. Agree that the roads are a little tight for bigger rigs like ours but if you are careful and take it slow, you will not have a problem.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
We loved this park. The dunes to the beach were about 75 feet from our RV. It is a well kept park and despite what other reviews say, we found the staff friendly and helpful. We will definitely return.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
Actually, this is a decent RV park, but after reading the rules of the park, I was surprised to see the owners' dog running free on the property, several cats and at least 15 chickens running around. The chickens were the most annoying as the rooster was crowing right outside of our window at 6:30 in the morning. One of the joys of being retired and traveling is not having to get up before 0800 in the morning, so it was particularly annoying and we were glad to leave and no, we will not be returning there.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
Bare bones minimum state park, but it did have sewer hookups, which made it better than average for a state park. The staff in the office were typical government workers. They did their job but were not especially friendly or helpful. But for the Washington DC area, the price was very reasonable. This was our second time at this park. The last time we were chased out by the possibility of Hurricane Sandy hitting the DC area. Closest rail station is the end of the line at Vienna Station, about 17 miles away. Parking there is $5/day and if over 65, be sure to get a senior pass to get 1/2 price transit fares.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
This is an excellent, family friendly park. Lots of options as to sites with trees and shade or no trees, out in the open. Staff is very friendly and will go beyond to make it an enjoyable stay. Bathrooms and showers are immaculate as they are checked multiple times during the day. There is a pool, playground, and a dog park that is planned for completion later this summer. Will definitely return if we are in the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
I cannot say enough about this park. The only reason it is not a 10 is that there is no pool and the internet access was very slow. It is basically a large, flat prairie, so you have level grass sites. Huge pull through sites. It is 30 amp service but never had to worry about using our air conditioner. You are up at the top of a hill so there is always a cool breeze. The owners were really, really helpful. Our truck needed some extensive repairs, so we ended up having to extend and extend our stay. They were willing to work with us and even offered to drive us in town to pick up our rental care. Even though we did not need the shuttle, we appreciated the offer. If we come back this way again, we will definitely return here.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Very basic RV park, but suited our needs. Level gravel sites, full hookups. Owners very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly and the park has the Badlands in its sights, so it provided some beautiful sunrise and sunset photos. If you are not looking for lots of amenities, then this park will suit you well. The Internet access was spotty, but we have a "hotspot" so it did not matter to us.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
Great park. There are blacktop sites for your RV with a brick patio. The sites are quite large which make backing in with a fifth wheel very easy. Wi-fi through the park is faster than our own hotspot--something that you rarely find. We had a 24 hour Florida storm and having blacktop and brick as your site made it wonderful to keep mud off our steps and kitchen floor. There were puddles in the park, but the drainage was excellent, so the standing water did not last long. When I stated that the price was higher than I wanted to spend, they asked if we had Passport America or Good Sams, both of which we had. So we got a great site for 1/2 price. Will definitely return here.

The aim of the Physics Department is to provide a supportive and stimulating environment where students can learn, investigate and enjoy the wonders of our physical world.
The Physics Department provides a vibrant, interesting and enjoyable atmosphere for all students at all levels. The staff here have great passion and enthusiasm for the subject, which is immediately transferred to lessons and students; making Physics an extremely successful subject through all the year groups at City.
Year 7 - 8
Students are introduced to Physics in the first two years in the Senior School; partly to prepare them for the IGCSE course in Year 9 and partly to build up the necessary skills to allow them to investigate Science.
Years 9 -11
In Year 9 students start the Edexcel IGCSE Course, which is continued through Year 10 and into Year 11. This is a linear course and all examinations are taken at the end of Year 11. The details of the modules we cover are:
Year 9
- Energy Transfer
- Thermal Energy
- Static Electricity
- Maths for Physics
- Density and Pressure
- Current Electricity I
- Magnestism
- Energy Resources
- Work, Efficiency and Power

- Particles
(Although topics may not be covered in this order)
At A level we offer the Edexcel course.
During the first year (AS), students cover concepts that include mechanics, projectiles, resultant forces, addition of vectors, energy, electricity, waves, materials and quantum physics.
In the second year (A level), students cover concepts that included space, nuclear radiation, particle physics, gravitational, electric and magnetic fields, circular and simple harmonic motion.
Throughout the 2 year course there are core practicals that are internally assessed and are used to award the practical competency certificate. This is in addition to the A level grade and universities may require students to pass this when offering places.
The AS course is made up of 2 x 1 hour 30 minute papers.
The A level course assessment is made up of 2 x 1 hour 45 minute papers, a 2 hour 30 minute paper covering the practical principles in Physics and the practical competency award.
GCSE: IGCSE Edexcel
A Level: Edexcel
The department organises interesting speakers each year in an attempt to inspire and enrich the students love of the subject. Recent speakers include:
- Simon Singh - The Big Bang
- Dr Melanie Windridge - Powering the Future
- Professor Peter Kalmus - The Discovery of W and Z Particles
- Professor Averil Macdonald - Fantastic Plastic
- David Broadie - Ice, Rock and Beauty
- Brian Foster - String Theory and The Music That Inspired Albert Einstein
The Department also runs an annual trip to CERN with City of London School. The students always find this an amazing experience, especially after taking a lift 100m underground to see a detector close up.
- 2013 - A Level students trip to Geneva
Big Bang Club - award winning Physics film
"You get to learn more in depth about each topic, which is really interesting and the experiments are really fun - especially the dancing sand experiment." Lisanne

My DH birthday is in less than a week. He won't tell me what he wants. He's big into cars. He likes tools, but I don't know what he wants. I know he wants to get his car painted eventually, but he wants to work on it first. Should i give him a card saying I'll pay for the paint job when you are ready? I really don't know what to give him.

iBook G3 unable to sleep properly
Using 10.4.11 (recently installed using combo update) on an iBook G3 12".
After the combo update, the iBook does not go to sleep properly when its lid is closed. The screen light is turned off, but the sleep light flashes at longer intervals than normal, an occasional brief hard drive activity can be heard, as well as activity from the CD tray—again, this is very brief. These activities occur about twice every minute. Opening the lid will then put the iBook into correct sleep (light flashes at normal regular intervals, no activity from HD or CD-drive).
I verified the disk and repaired permissions after the combo update (in safe mode). I have reset the PRAM, the PMU and NVRAM.
The problem only occurs when the iBook is connected to the mains power supply; unplug the power adaptor and it sleeps like a dream?
When I select Sleep from the menu, it's just the same situation: with the lid left open it sleeps correctly, but when the lid is closed, the occasional HD and CD activity resume.
(problem also posted in Apple support discussions, but no joy there)
There isn't a great deal to the sleep mechanism of a G3. There is a small switch under the top case or in the display assembly (depending on the exact model) which reacts to a corresponding magnet. If this switch is damaged then with the lid pressing on it, or near enough to vibrate it in any way it could cause a momentary flick of that switch.
I would look at replacing that part. It's going to take a while if you haven't taken an iBook apart before (which gets harder as the machine ages and connectors stick to boards) but the part is very cheap. It might be worth trying an AASP if you want someone else to do it.
-Matt Cox / Mac Technician / Matt on Twitter
Thanks, holtmac. I am now back in Spain and the iBook is with my mother (an enthusiastic 89-years old user), so taking it apart just at the moment is out of the question. Perhaps in October, when I visit again. However, I know I checked the clip mechanism and it seemed to work fine, though, of course, the switch itself could be damaged. However, the symptoms seem strange: screen light out, but occasional and regular activity from HD and CD.
Also, I have no idea what AASP is! (Sorry.)
Indeed, you wouldn't think a broken switch would cause such issues, but I've seen the sleep switch cause all kinds of pain.
Oh, and an AASP is an Apple Authorised Service Provider (viz. repair shop)
-Matt Cox / Mac Technician / Matt on Twitter
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if you're right about the switch. Although she's 89, my mother isn't the lightest-fingered person in the world, and when I am with her, I am always telling her not to press so hard on the lid of the iBook when she closes it. But she's Welsh with a stubborn streak, so it's rather like talking to a brick wall!
Anyway, thanks for clearing up the AASP. I don't recall ever having heard the term either in Belgium or in Spain.
