Context: Beer and vodka are becoming stronger competitors to wine. We want to highlight how wine occasions are more unique and meaningful.
Insight/Idea: Our first campaign was about two people getting to really know each other thanks to Alma Mora. Now we are featuring a couple that already lives together and has accepted the annoying things that bother each other, but they still love each other no matter what. That's what being a soul mate means; that's what Alma Mora is for.
Results: We keep building a special bond between the brand and our core target in this new stage of their lives.

Best baby crib mattress – There is only one moment where you as a mother your newborn just leave … and that's when sleeping. It is therefore not surprising that it is important for many parents to know where their child goes to sleep apparently. In addition to choosing a best crib mattress that meets all requirements and safety, advice is also important (I would say even more important) to buy a safe crib mattress. What to look for when buying a baby mattress? What are currently the most popular baby beds and what will it all play at a baby bed? Read it all in our great baby bed manual.
Which Material is Best Suited as a Baby Mattress?
In the Netherlands puts a crib mattress made of cold foam over all other options. I am here or on the individual variants of foam. Which meet all the requirements and have many extras making them the best baby mattress. What I find very unfortunate that pocket springs are also an excellent choice of material (plus often cheaper), but there are no good options available in the Netherlands. Possibly as a mattress maker reading this, a good idea as something to change!
In case you want to save on the pennies polyether is also a good option. It is a mattress material choice who just meets most requirements.
What Size Should the Baby Mattress?
Depends of course very much on the scale of the crib! But as we have discussed in our guide on cribs, the mattress should be at least 80 cm long and 40 centimeters wide.
What about the thickness of the mattress baby / crib mattress?
The thickness of the baby mattress should be 3.51 cm, and more are under 15,24cm. (All mattresses that we have recommended in this manual meet course all these requirements)
Firmness of Crib Mattress
The crib mattress should be beautiful and firm and not soft. A soft bed is dangerous for babies because their heads can fall in and there may arise a risk of choking.
According to Veiligheid.nl you can check the firmness himself by pushing with the hand flat and fingers extended on the mattress. You know it has the right firmness and the bed just a little bit pressed.
Is the Mattress Hypoallergenic and Anti-Insect Edited?
A mattress that is specifically processed to leave it all babies with allergies to sleep, you can think of asthma or eczema. Most mothers in forums and other social networks find this a critical aspect when buying a product for their babies. I'm here 100% disagree, and I will well explain why.
Your baby has just been born, so you will not be aware that he or she is suffering from an allergy. In the Netherlands alone has 7.5% of people suffering from allergies. So there is a chance that your baby will sit in between.
Well, you can pay a tenner less for the mattress and purchase a nonhypoallergenic mattress. But what if your child has or suffer from, then you can think back to the old Dutch saying "cheap is expensive" because you have to buy a whole new mattress again.
Mosquito or another such anti-insect agent is a different story. This should not be a factor in your purchase of a mattress. There is no scientific evidence that helps prevent the mosquitoes because they do not come down on the mattress but the smell of people. If it stands there like included, but you do not have to worry whether you want it there or not.
Breathes Crib Mattress Enough?
Is the mattress made of a material that allows enough air? This has multiple functions (including, of course, comfort). But a well-ventilated mattress also reduces perspiration, and this works better against insects than an anti-mosquito operation.
However, this is not the reason that this is an urgent requirement for choosing a baby mattress. As I mentioned earlier, there is a risk of suffocation in infants, by taking a bed to wick can help prevent this.
How well the mattress ventilation is very much dependent on the material from which it is constructed. The Aerosleep crib mattress is an excellent example when it comes to optimum air circulation.
It is also because of the circulation of the crib mattress to a plastic mattress or a mattress with a plastic cover is strongly discouraged. This leaves no air, and there's a good chance that your child could choke!

BROADBAND! Did your pulse just start racing? Did your heart miss a beat? If so, I'm so sorry for you.
That said, if you read these pages regularly you could be excused for thinking that it was the only aspect of the internet that is developing.
Of course, that's not the case but broadband has been marketed in such a hallowed package that it is seen as a virtual panacea with the same emotive power that the name penicillin carried two generations ago.
But how much do we need it and what is it worth to us?
I glanced through a list of the factors that most influenced UK house prices in the icWales homes channel, from school catchment areas to the motorway next door, and broadband didn't figure in it at all.
"That's because everyone is going to be able to get it soon," explained one of my colleagues.
True. Or is it?
The telecoms' roll-out of broadband is certainly gathering momentum but there are some thorny issues ahead, especially in delivering broadband to rural communities with which Wales is well endowed.
Currently around two-thirds of the UK population has access to affordable broadband services. This is largely weighted in favour of large towns and cities.
The figure drops to a quarter in market towns, just 7% in rural villages and dwindles to less than 1% in remote rural areas. Hardly surprising but progress in these areas is likely to be, at best, slow and even to the point of non existent.
Remember, it was only last month that the last village in Wales, Cwm Brefi, got mains electricity.
How do the telecoms provide the service without it costing either them or the consumer an arm and a leg?
Some of the solutions proposed are quite gloriously imaginative, such as a network of balloons floating a mile above the ground that would cover the whole of the UK, suggesting that there isn't an obvious answer at hand.
Now a dedicated rural broadband team within the Department of Trade and Industry is to address the issue, indicating that the problem is real and important enough for the Labour Government - already deeply unpopular with everyday country folk - really wants to do something about it, although it has so far fallen short of committing itself to providing it as a universal service.
The likely result of all this is that rural communities will not get broadband for some time, so what does this mean to businesses and individuals concerned?
At the moment, of course, the benefits of broadband lie in saving time, although this is not entirely without drawbacks.
One colleague of mine has had to relearn the gentle art of talking to his girlfriend in the evenings because he skates through all his internet activity since he's got broadband.
Certainly rural businesses need not rush into relocating just yet but, as content suitable for broadband develops, they will become more disadvantaged.
As a recent report from the Country Agency pointed out, " restricted access to broadband is putting rural businesses and residents at a disadvantage," and went on to cite education and training as the main areas in which rural communities will lose out.
Will we see broadband replace hunting as the main focus of the Countryside Alliance?
I won't even attempt to answer that for fear of sparking a blaze of correspondence.
But expect broadband to start appearing on that list of factors affecting house prices soon.

Setter Invasion 24th May 2013
28 May 2013
On the 24th of May 2013; Early friday morning dozens of settlers tried to storm Al-Aroub refugee camp under the protection of the israeli occupation forces but people from camp confronted them by peaceful means thus the settlers retreated. After this they attempted to enter Beit Omar which is located just up from Al-Aroub on route to Hebron. Just like before they failed, as when they saw people from the town coming they fled. These & similar events are a daily occurrence for Palestinians living within the West Bank.

Nothing comes between Kendall Jenner and her Calvins.
The 19-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star took to Instagram earlier today to show off her booty in a pair of white Calvin Klein undies ahead of her upcoming new campaign for the fashion brand.
The sexy snapshot shows the brunette beauty arching her back while sitting on her bed. Kendall's waist looks super skinny as she flaunts her bum in the underwear and low-rise jeans. "#DenimDay," she captioned the hot photo.
But a thin tummy and curvaceous butt aren't the only things Kendall is rocking in the CK selfie. We couldn't help but notice the model appears to be topless with a little hint of under boob popping out at the top of the shot.
Courtesy Steven Klein/V Magazine #95
Kendall also recently graced the pages of V magazine in some sexy Calvin Klein underwear. She gushed of her new CK campaign, "This will be my first billboard on Sunset, which I'm ecstatic about. It's really humbling, and honestly, I am a pretty shy person, but being part of the Calvin campaign and seeing myself up there will be a dream come true. I might have to eat every night at the Chateau Marmont with that hanging over my shoulder. 'Oh yeah, that little thing? I didn't notice!'"
Kendall also revealed she faced obstacles and bias from people in the fashion industry when she first started modeling.
"You have no idea how many doors closed on me and how many adults were either initially reluctant to take a chance working with me or who outright laughed at me behind my back," she said. "It was kind of hard because all I was doing was going on go-sees, trying my best to break into this business as a teenager. I am so grateful to Marc Jacobs, Riccardo Tisci, Karl Lagerfeld, and Katie Grand, who took a chance on me that first season and gave me an opportunity. My parents taught me that work ethic is one of the most important keys in life, and I believe it."

After rescuing Patty and finding Edwinn's old Inny award, you should head to Stornway to pay Erinn a visit.
Visit the Inn
Once you get to Stornway, go to the inn and you will see some automatic scenes with Patty and Erinn. Afterward, talk to Patty or Erinn. Agree to help find guests for the inn, then go outside.
Then you can go right back into the Inn. Erinn already has it ready. There is a Celestrian named Pavo sitting on the counter on the right. You can talk to her to learn about the Rapportal, which allows you to play the game with up to three other players using the local wireless.
If you talk to Erinn, you can stay for the night. There is also an option to canvass for guests or view the guestbook. These options are performed via Tag Mode, where you close your DS and walk around.
Add People to your Party with Patty
You can also talk to Patty, who can add new people to your party. There are a few randomly generated characters, but you can also create your own new characters if you wish. I recommend having a Priest on your team to take care of healing. It helps to have a Thief with you, because they can learn to steal items from monsters, which you will definitely want to do as the game progresses. Mages can be useful for the elemental damage that they can do, Warriors are good for their high attack power, Martial Artists are agile fighters, and you're a Minstrel so you should already be a little bit familiar with the abilities that you have.
If you talk to Patty and add one or more characters to your team, she will teach you the Egg On move, which boosts tension, giving you a temporary boost in attack strength.
If you have more people in your party, you can go to the Misc. menu to change their tactics. If you tell them to Follow Orders, then you have to choose what they do in battle. But you can choose other options, such as Show No Mercy or Fight Wisely, to make them automatically choose what to do in battle. You can change tactics during battle via the Misc. menu.
You can also switch your weapons during battle via the Misc. menu.
After battles, experience points are divided among you and your party members, with higher-level characters receiving more EXP than lower-level characters.
If any of your characters die, go to a church to resurrect them. You have to pay for the resurrection however. Priests eventually learn a resurrection spell.
Explore Stornway
Walk to the left from the Inn entrance to find a well. Go down to find a red chest that contains linen gloves. Then go back up, and go north to the nearby stairs. Down below, you find a red chest that contains lambswool, and a blue chest that contains a random item. Go back outside, then go north and walk behind the house to find a red chest that contains a Mini Medal. The weapon shop is to the east, and it has a red chest that contains a Seed of Strength, as well as a blue chest.
Talk to the locals in Stornway, and you will soon learn that they are being terrorized by the Wight Knight. The King is looking for someone to help vanquish the foe, so you should go to the castle and talk to King Schott.
The king will say that the Wight Knight will be at Loch Storn, so that is where you should go when you are ready.
Preparing to Fight the Wight Knight
However, you should really add some people to your party before you go to Loch Storn, and gain some levels. The Wight Knight is difficult, especially if you try to go alone. Read the "Add People to your Party with Patty" section above to learn how.
The Bank
In the inn, there is a woman near the entrance of the inn who runs the bank. If you have at least 1000 G, you can deposit it into the bank. This is useful, because if you die in battle, you lose half of the gold that you are carrying. But if you deposit the money into the bank, you won't lose any of the money in the bank if you die.
Be sure to check out the weapon and armor stores, especially after you add people to your party.
There are some quests that you can accept in Stornway, too. Be sure to talk to everyone and look for people who have a blue speech bubble over their heads. They will give you quests.
You should go around and fight monsters with your new-found party members to gain levels. If you want to fight tougher monsters, head east from Stornway to find Eastern Stornway. There are monsters in the grassy areas and different monsters in the beach areas. You can find seashells in the beach areas as well.
Go to Loch Storn
When you are ready, go back to Western Stornway, then go north from the castle. There is a dead end in the northwest, a locked gate in the northeast, and the bridge to Loch Storn is to the north.
Once in the Zere area, go north and slightly east to reach Loch Storn.
When you get there, if it is daytime, there is no sign of the Wight Knight. Stella will ask if you want to be there for a while longer, so say yes. The Wight Knight will appear, and will attack.
The Wight Knight
The Wight Knight is tough, but if you added some people to your party and gained levels, it shouldn't be too difficult. The Wight Knight can do Bolt Cutter, which is a lightning attack to a single person, and Multithrust, which can hit everyone in the party, sometimes multiple times per person.
When you defeat the Wight Knight, he will ask you to take a message to the King, so return to Stornway.
Back in Stornway
Return to the king. You will need to go in daytime, so rest in the inn if it is still night, or just wander around outside.
After hearing what the king has to say, leave the throne room and Simona will talk to you. Go through the south door and follow the path to Simona's room. She will ask you to talk to her old nanny in Zere. You can get to Zere by going northwest from Loch Storn.

HAMAMELIS: Witchhazel
In the dead of winter, it is indeed a treat to see the vibrant tones of Hamamelis flowers dancing on unique zigzagging branches. Bright yellow, orange or red spidery flowers have a spicy fragrance that is enough to warm you from nose to toes!
Witchhazels develop nice green leaves where the crinkles of the veins look as though someone folded them perfectly across an axis. Autumn may really be the beginning of the season for Hamamelis however, because their leaves turn brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red or purple before falling to reveal their unique architectural structure.
Hamamelis x intermedia
This is a large group of Witchhazels created by breeding Hamamelis mollis with Hamamelis japonica. All varieties grow 12-15' tall and often wider. Sun-part shade, Zone 5.
Common varieties of Hamamelis x intermedia include:
Varieties of Hamamelis x intermedia include:
- 'Arnold Promise' - yellow flowers with fall colors yellow, orange and red. 'Arnold Promise' has a more upright vase shape where other types have a graceful open habit.
- 'Diane' - dark red flowers with fall colors reds to purple.
- 'Jelena' - pronounced Helena - usually the first to open - coppery orange flowers with orange, red to scarlet fall color.
- 'Orange Beauty' - coppery orange flowers with orange, red to scarlet fall color.
- 'Primavera' - light yellow flowers with yellow orange fall color.
- 'Sunburst' - radiant yellow flowers with yellow fall color.
Hamamelis mollis:
Chinese Witchhazel
Sweetly fragrant rich gold flowers with reddish brown sepals bloom on bare branches in January-February. Excellent for winter arrangements. Green leaves turn pure gold before falling in autumn.
Hamamelis mollis 'Pallida' Large pale yellow flower with delicious fragrance in winter. Red, orange leaves in fall. Vase shaped large shrub to 8-10' - Z6
Hamamelis virginiana Common Witchhazel
Small fragrant golden yellow flowers appear in autumn. Their flowers sometimes get lost in yellow to orange fall color. Grows slowly to 10-15' tall and wide sometimes to 25' tall. Open spreading habit and slow growth. This is the source of medicinal Witchhazel.
Family: Hamamelidaceae
Common Name: Witchhazel
Native: North America, Japan, and China
Foliage: The leaves are alternately arranged, oval, 4-16 cm long and 3-11 cm broad, with a smooth or wavy margin. In fall most species perform a spectacular fall show of reds, yellows and oranges
Flowers: Perfect, fragrant spider like flowers in winter. Hamamelis virginiana blooms in autumn before leaves fall. Each flower has four slender strap-shaped petals 1-2 cm long, pale to dark yellow, orange, or red.
Size: 10-25' tall depending on species - Hamamelis grows in an upright vase shape and is often wider than tall. It can be considered a small tree.
Light: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Prefers moist well drained acidic soil, avoid extremely dry situations
Disease: None serious
Hardiness: Zone 3b to 8(9)
Pruning: Prune after bloom; it is recommended to prune to guide growth, remove poorly placed branches and suckers from below the graft. Also can be a favorite as a winter cut flower.

Night the `Bassman' got tough on Nevin
On With the Show's
Flashback to 1994
By SHIRLEY BROUN
THE tears swelled, the emotions ran high and it took every bit of strength that Nevin McLean could muster to sing a duet with Ian `Pee Wee' Wilson – one which they had sung together for almost a decade.
The date was June 25, 1994, the venue Campbelltown Catholic Club and the occasion – Nevin's farewell performance as a member of the nationally acclaimed and much-loved show group, The Delltones.
"I was going along nicely until we sang the Delltone's medley and Ian and I sang `Bassman' together. That was tough … one of the hardest performances I've ever had to do," said Nevin, still with a tear in his eye the following day.
It was a night Nevin will never forget and always hold dear.
Special presentation
From the performance and surprise party, to the emotion-filled words of the `bass man' himself, Pee Wee Wilson who also presented Nevin with a large plaque, which depicted the seven Delltones albums on which Nevin had featured. In the centre was a CD specially inscribed with a heartfelt dedication for his professionalism, contribution and mateship to the Delltones during the past decade.
"It meant more to me than a Rolex Watch," said Nevin, who says his years with one of the most respected show bands in Australia's history, prepared him for the next era in his life.
"They were years of learning and discipline. To be part of a five-part harmony band, you have to sing in time and in tune. The Delltones helped me lift my game, work harder and ask a lot more of myself than I probably would have. It gave me confidence and opportunities to perform at major events such as the Royal Command Performance at the Sydney Opera House and Brisbane Expo.
Nevin's decision to leave The Delltones was, in his words, `a desire to control his own destiny.'
"We all need new challenges along the way to keep us fresh and fulfilled. The decision to leave was an extremely difficult one but I felt that if I didn't give it a go I would forever be asking myself `if only'. You don't know anything until you try," said Nevin.
New era begins
The future stimulates a broad collection of emotions for Nevin. "I'm nervous, anxious, excited and, in a way, feel free. I'm facing the unknown but it doesn't worry me – a whole new era of my life is beginning and it is really exciting."
Rehearsals are already underway for Nevin's new five-member, four-part harmony band, Pheonix, which debuts in Sydney in November. "It has always been a dream of mine to put a show together."
Nevin will be joined by musical whiz Alan Freeman, who leaves the Delltones in early November to work with his energetic colleague. "Alan is keen to use his talents in vocal and musical arrangements to make Pheonix stand out from the others. He has the musical skills to take the band in any direction and we work so well together"."
"We don't want to limit ourselves to an era with Pheonix. We will present good songs from the 50s, 60s and right up to the 90s."
Prior to joining the Delltones, Nevin admits he was a big fan. "Being a local Bronte boy (where the Delltones started), they were my heroes."
Vocals added a new dimension
Replacing Danny Mayers in the group, which at the time boasted six members (including Pee Wee Wilson, Alan Freeman, Merv Dick, Woody Finlayson, Danny and saxophone player Vic Schrier), Nevin brought a new dimension to The Delltones. "My strength was in the voice. I had a three octave range and falsetto. They had never really had that before and it proved to be a wonderful tool for singing Frankie Valle, the Beach Boys and a capella. It was an entirely new sound – a true harmony group. Musically, it was the most important time of my life."
Born in the Sydney suburb of Ashfield, a third generation Australian with Irish, Welsh and Scottish background, Nevin is by no means idle since his departure from the Delltones. "Between rehearsals for Pheonix, I am performing a lot of solo `gigs'at venues throughout Sydney and am also working on a show with this year's Queensland Entertainer of the Year Greg Doolan (ex-Wickety Wak). Greg and I have been toying with the idea to do something together for almost three years but my schedule has precluded me from going ahead with it. Now the show is getting priority and I'm looking forward to working with him in Queensland."
It is important to Nevin to develop his own identity outside The Delltones, just as Greg Doolan has done successfully since Wickety Wak's farewell performance in 1990.
And, he will not be alone in meeting the new challenges life presents. Not one for dedicating songs during performances, Nevin made an exception during his final Delltones performance. "From the heart, this one's for Denis." The song was Dreamlover and Denise, the love of his life.Tweet

It's not every day that you meet a principal willing to dye his hair green to promote active transportation, but that's what Jacob Sol did. Former principal of McBride elementary school in New Westminster, Sol saw the volume of traffic at his school, and realized that the rushed drivers posed a safety risk for his students.
Read about Mr. Sol's challenge to students, and how they rose to meet it, after the break.
Former City of Surrey Transportation Planner Luci Moraes knows that not only does it generally take the same length of time to walk or drive to schools, but actively commuting to school results in children arriving at school alert and happy to have spent some quality time with their parents. With this knowledge, she was able to take a proactive approach to her planning work, implementing plans which encourage active transportation, such as participating in school travel planning.
Read more about Luci and the City of Surrey's work promoting active school travel after the break.
On her 10th birthday, Jonina Campbell bought herself a 10 speed bike with the money she received. While she remembers the joy and freedom of biking as a youth, she did not foresee becoming an active transportation advocate. Yet, when this teacher saw the congestion around her school, she was drawn into action, and became one of her community's school board trustees.

Meet the 2013-2014 Wildcats
If you'd like to get to know the incoming freshman for UK's 2013-2014 basketball season, then you've come to the right place. Thanks to Eric Lindsey over at CoachCal.com for putting these videos together. As of September 12th, 2013, all 9 of UK's incoming freshman have a "Meet the Wildcats" segment. We'll soon be creating another page for last season's (2012-2013) "Meet the Wildcats" videos for anyone that didn't get a chance to watch them before or would just like to rewatch them again.
As requested from the folks at CoachCal.com, the YouTube videos have been removed. We'll have links to watch them via CoachCal.com soon.
The 2013-2014 UK Basketball Team
Videos are available here for Dominique Hawkins, Julius Randle, Dakari Johnson, Derek Willis, Marcus Lee, E.J. Floreal, Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, and James Young — all of the incoming 2013-2014 UK basketball players. The videos are setup to automatically play in 720p without you having to adjust anything.
These videos give fans a unique insight into the personality and background stories of UK's incoming freshman. We get to learn how Marcus Lee's volleyball background led him to become the nation's best shot blocker in high school, how the Harrison Twin's father taught them about having a hard-work ethic and how they had no doubt where they wanted to attend college, how Dominique Hawkins felt when he received a scholarship to UK, how James Young had a brief stint playing football when he was younger, and much, much more! I'm not sure if any other college basketball fan base gets the opportunity to get a glimpse of their incoming players like this (I seriously, seriously doubt it), so it's really awesome of Cal to give the crazy BBN stuff like this. Coach Calipari is always doing things like this for the Big Blue Nation, and we'll be sure to post anything else he provides in the future. Enjoy!

Mitt Romney said Monday that CNN's Candy Crowley overstepped her bounds by playing fact-checker during a debate between Romney and President Obama in 2012.
Appearing on Hugh Hewitt's radio show, Romney said Crowley shouldn't have interjected to confirm President Obama's claim about the evolution of the administration's talking points about the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.
"Well, I don't think it's the role of the moderator in a debate to insert themselves into the debate and to declare a winner or a loser on a particular point," Romney said. "And I must admit that, at that stage, I was getting a little upset at Candy, because in a prior setting where I was to have had the last word, she decided that Barack Obama was to get the last word despite the rules that we had."
Republicans were highly critical of Crowley for her decision to confirm Obama's claim that he had described the attack in Benghazi as a terrorist attack the day after it occurred. While Obama referred broadly to "acts of terror" during a Rose Garden address, the administration didn't include terrorism in its talking points in the days afterward.
Romney added: "So, she obviously thought it was her job to play a more active role in the debate than was agreed upon by the two candidates, and I thought her jumping into the interaction I was having with the president was also a mistake on her part and one I would have preferred to carry out between the two of us, because I was prepared to go after him for misrepresenting to the American people that -- the nature of the attack."
Romney declined to say whether he thought the administration was deliberately covering up the true origins of the attack.
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Broadchurch season 3: David Tennant reveals scripts were password-protected to stop LEAKS
DAVID TENNANT has revealed that Broadchurch producers went to extreme lengths to maintain secrecy on the set of the ITV drama, including putting passwords on scripts.
The 45-year-old star, who plays police officer Alec Hardy, revealed that the cast needed passwords in order to access the script for the next episode.
Speaking at a recent press conference for season three of the ITV crime drama, he joked to press including Express.co.uk: "So many passwords to forget."
His words come as the show's creator Chris Chibnall, who was also at the event, revealed that all the scripts were password-protected and that false first pages were put on the front page of the scripts to throw people off if they stumbled across one as well as secret Downton Abbey names used.
When asked what the programme makers had kept secret during filming, Chris said: "A lot, we write very little down. Every outline – we have code names. The names on the script aren't even Broadchurch.
"On season two and season three the script title pages – my name isn't on them. I did write them. They are 'the Downton name'.
He continued: "The reason behind that is because people leave scripts lying around.
David Tennant has opened up about Broadchurch season 3
Olivia Colman and David Tennant on Broadchurch season 3
So many passwords to forget
"We start by lying on our cover page and we sort of go on from there. We watermark everything, everything is password protected."
Chris added: "There's a lot we do and we don't issue parts of certain scripts and we film alternate versions and we do all the things you'd expect we do."
The third and final outing of Broadchurch will air later this month and see Alec and Ellie Miller (played by Olivia Colman) investigating a sexual assault of resident Trish (Julie Hesmondhalgh).
Broadchurch season 3 will see David Tennant and Olivia Colman returning
Broadchurch season 3 will be the final one
Reflecting on the shift in tone that took Broadchurch back to a whodunit, former Doctor Who star David said: "Chris had told us that was the intention quite a long way back but without a great deal of detail to that.
"I suppose it made sense that it couldn't be another body on a beach. That was the kind of truthfulness you've come to expect form this series."
Broadchurch will air on ITV on February 27 at 9pm.

text: Name? Kathleen Age? 28 Gender? Female Ethnicity? I think the technical term is anglo-saxon. My father is Lithuanian and my mother is a mixture of Scottish, Irish, and 'American'. I don't particularly have any knowledge of my roots, or traditions that I should follow. Religious Affiliation? I grew up being told God would strike me down and if I didn't go to church I was a bad person. I went to a roman catholic primary school and know how to talk back to the priest during a catholic service, but as for believing in god? I have come a long way since believing that jesus was everywhere and whenever I took a step I walked through him and earth was God's heart. I know that there is something out there and that Jesus most likely did exist, but giving yourself to an invisible 'thing' doesn't make sense to me. I have far more ownership over my destiny than that. I am not anti christ. I still think some of their beliefs are helpful, but overall I think religion for me has caused more harm than good. "Pray to god. But swim away from the rocks" Siblings? I don't have any full blooded siblings. I have three half siblings, two step siblings, and three exstep siblings (if that makes sense). I grew up living with my older brother and I occasionally saw my other half brother and sister. Ages of Siblings? 31, (me), 20, 18, 13, 12 Where were you raised? I was born in Brisbane, Qld and lived here until I was 6. My mother than took my brother and I across the seas to Wellington, New Zealand, after leaving my Dad, where we lived for 4 years. We then returned to Brisbane when I was 11. I have lived in Brisbane since, except a quick 6 month trip to Melbourne, and I have no plans on moving. Level and place of education? Schooling and I don't match very well. My experience with school was horrible and the act of learning new things was interrupted by being a social outcast and punching bag. Here we have primary school (grade 1 to 7) and high school (grade 8 to 12). You start grade 1 when you are 6. I reached grade 10 within the 'school system' and then left after the second school informed me if I didn't leave I would be expelled (and no one likes to take on a student that has been expelled). So I tried my hand at distance education, but I had no interest and no drive and I just stopped doing any of the work set out for me. When I was 18 I went to a private college of sorts and did my grade 11 & 12 in the space of 4 months. When you graduate high school you get an OP (overall position) with 25 being the worst and 1 being the best. My brother did the full 12 years of schooling, plus an extra year at the same college I went to and got an OP 10. I got an OP 9 With my OP I received a place at university where I started a social work course when my daughter was four weeks old. Me and academia just don't mix so I lasted nearly two years before dropping out and working full time. I have finished high school, but haven't really gotten any further and I don't have any desire to. We have use for smarts in this world, I just don't have academic smarts, I have street smarts. Or at least that is how justify it to myself. Occupation? I am a Bookkeeper. I take the spendings and financial data for companies and individuals and put them in a readable format for Accountants. Accountants then deal with all things tax wise. It doesn't sound like an important job, but it's the job business owners don't understand and the job Accountants are too busy for. I am able to get the same income working three days a week that I got working full time before I had children. I have more flexibility and as I have small children it makes life easier being my own boss. Hobbies? This is something I struggle with. I have been told by my husband that I don't have hobbies as such. My life doesn't consist of much 'fun' so to speak. It's mostly about what has to be done. However for the past year I have been pole dancing. It started out as a form of exercise and it's become far more social than I expected it to. I have met some wonderful women. Other than watching tv and browsing the internet I don't really do much that's 'fun'. Sexual preference? I am one of those people who believe sexuality is fluid. It's not so much what's between the legs as between the ears. I spent a 5 year relationship with a woman. It was really more a FWB type set up, where when drunk we just fooled about. However she went on to be a full on lesbian and I was a teenager. I have been with women and I really REALLY enjoy the female form. If I let myself I can become attracted to women very very easy. However I am married and faithful (physically and emotionally), so after all that I guess I am straight. Measurements? 37-30-42 Best and worst experiences with SO's? Specific experiences are difficult to pin point. I have had so many highs and so many lows.Two that stand out. Worst: When I spent 6 years in and out of court because my ex had nothing better to do than piss me off. Knowing he held such power over me when our relationship was over was so debilitating. I healed from the physical abuse and my husband helped me heal from the emotional abuse. But knowing I had no control after all that just leaves a person deflated. Best: The day our daughter was born. I laboured and birthed at home and my husband was by my side for every second. I knew he felt helpless but he never once made it about him and how he felt. He did everything right and at the right moment without me having to say a word. It was then that I knew that he got me as a person and I really had chosen the right person to spend my life with (which I knew already) Fantasy Date? Getting dressed up in a fancy dress, with hot heels and the full hair and make up. Being taken out for cocktails and a fancy dinner and being teased all night. Then being taken home and dominated all night and doing it all over the house. Tell us about your childhood? My childhood sucked. I was the child who 'forced' my parents to get married when they really shouldn't have. All I remember is them yelling a lot. My father walked out one night when I was 5. And I remember him telling me he was going out and when I asked when he would be home he said 'I won't'. My Dad is a wonderful Dad. All my memories regarding my Dad are good ones. When my dad left my mother and brother sided against me. I knew as a child that my mother would have preferred that I wasn't there. She told me later in life (after attending a Landmark course) that everything would have been so much easier if my Dad hadn't come along and if I hadn't been born. My mother continued to use me to manipulate my Dad which meant I was forced to stay with my mother. My father walked away and stopped fighting. He remarried. He feels horrible about it, but he just had no fight left in him. My (2nd) step mother has said to me she doesn't know how I could forgive him for leaving me. I love my Dad and I know the personality of my mother so I would have done the same thing. We moved after the first year of school, so I never really settled down and found a solid friend. I have no childhood friends in my life. What do you think contributed to your like/dislike of women or men? I am very anti women because of my mother. She claims to be a feminist, however her idea of feminism is making sure that all men pay for the inequality that was, using your sexuality to manipulate people into giving you what you want and excusing behaviour which negatively impacted other people, because it's just how women are. I usually always side with the males and believe that a lot of women take no ownership or responsibility for situations they find themselves in. I have no time for people who won't help themselves, that includes men. Best Relationship? My current one. I met my husband when I was 19. We went to the same university and had the same circle of friends. When we met my daughter was 3 months old. We hung out a lot and just enjoyed each other's company. He had just come out of a bad relationship, as had I, so there was no pressure and it was seen as purely a friendship. We learned a lot about each other over the next few months and five months later we kissed for the first time. We have had to deal with a lot and he never once made me feel guilty for having the ex that I did. Who I was when we met and who I am now are world's apart. I am much more confident, I am secure in who I am and how I act and know that it always has a purpose. He makes me feel beautiful, respected, cherished, and like a wonderful wife. He also does all he can to make sure I don't lose myself to the mother and wife title and encourages me to have time to myself. We now have three children and we have been married for two and a half years (took him a while to propose ). Life isn't perfect, but the only issues we have are all external (exes, cancer, depression, and family members). Worst Relationship? When I was young and stupid I met a boy who was your typical bad boy. I had only know him (irl) for a few days and we ended up sleeping together. He gave me something I was obviously lacking and I believed it was true love. From the time I slept with someone who had a girlfriend, to the time he split my lip open because I dropped a photo of his brother on the floor, through to when he gave me a black eye while I was 8 months pregnant. That is of course ignoring all of the lying and cheating he did. The hardest part of that relationship was that there was no resolve. He still to this day believes he did nothing wrong and I believe that he hasn't changed his way. I could sit here and get upset and angry at the injustice of it all, or I can leave him to live his own life over there away from me. I just hope that he stays other there. Are your siblings like you at all in their relationships? My older brother is in a relationship with a woman who he has cheated on, lied to, and stolen from. My brother looks at relationships much like our mother. People are to be used and it's about what they can get out of the relationship. I am nothing like them when it comes to relationships. I can show vulnerabilities and my love is earned not assumed. My younger brother is gay and as far as I know single. I don't know what he is like in his relationships, I hardly know who he is like in life. All my other siblings are single and/or too young. How open minded are you? I like to think I am open minded, but I admit that I do find it difficult to understand why people choose a different path in life to me. However, in saying that, at the end of the day as long as the two (or more) people have equal power and everyone has all the information to make an informed choice, I believe more power to them. I think far too many people do things for the wrong reason which is when I find myself lacking to understand. I know that it takes all types and I am not the kind of person to remove my friendship or common courtesy simply because a person chooses a different path. Plus, I know that there is a lot about me that doesn't fit the norm and it might freak a few people out So if I expect them to offer me understanding I have to be willing to do the same. Have you ever been involved in a threesome? Yes. It was a FFM, however I was never fucked by the guy. At the time I was young and drunk and thought it was hilarious. The day after and since though I believe the reasons for doing it weren't right and I shouldn't have done it. However we all learn things from each fuck up we make and I enjoy self discovery and trying to better myself as a person, friend and partner. What do you look for in another partner? I don't any more and hope I never have to. Do you think a person's promiscuity or lack thereof has to do with their childhood? I think we are all taught how to treat people of the opposite sex, and ourselves, by our parents (or carers). Most of the sexual partners I have had were while I was young, stupid, and intoxicated. I don't think why people have sex has everything to do with their childhood, but I do think it has a lot to do with why they find themselves in the situations where sex is an option (if that makes sense). The people I let my guard down with and had consensual sober sex with consist of two people;My ex who I had a child with and my husband. After what I have gone through most people would expect my count to be a lot higher. Have you used online sites for the reasons of getting sex or dates or both? I have spent a lot of my life on the internet however I have never used it for the sole purpose of getting sex or dating. I have used IRC to get to know friends better who I ended up getting together with. What's your favorite body part of the opposite sex? Eyes. They tell a lot about a person. But if it had to be a part? Their penis Describe your type of partner? Someone who is serious about making a relationship work and willing to talk about the tough subjects. I have never dated as such, I usually always just hung out with a person in a group social situation and when I found myself liking them a bit more I would make a move. I have only ever been in two serious relationships. My husband is everything I could ask for in a man, except he lacks my Dad's ability to clean What type of partner you actually date? I met my husband when I was 19. I never dated. Any words of advice for the Vag lurkers? You under estimate yourself. You are capable of so much more and you shouldn't deny yourself that because of fear. If I have learned anything it's that everyone is too busy worrying about what they do or how they look that they rarely notice what you're doing. So worrying about the small stuff is pointless. We have one life to live and it's very very short. Don't think it, do it. Always make sure you have no regrets. Never leave anything unsaid, even the things that will hurt.

The amount might be smaller this year, but some say Gov. Sonny Perdue's willingness to keep money in the budget for Elementary School Foreign Language Model Program shows his commitment to its importance.
Funding for the ESFL Model Program is in the governor's 2004 amended budget and in the 2005 budget, both of which have yet to receive final approval from the Legislature.
The governor has budgeted $1.8 million for the program in 2004 and the same amount for 2005, said spokeswoman Loretta Lepore. In 2003, $2.1 million was allotted.
"He didn't want children who were benefiting at this time to have learning interrupted," Ms. Lepore said. "He is hoping schools will eventually - as was the intent - take over the funding for it so it doesn't become a question in the future."
Legislators, educators and foreign language advocates across the state have fought - and won - the past two years to keep the money in the state budget.
"After the response last year to his deferral of the funding and all of the uproar he heard from constituents who participate in ESFL funding, I'm thrilled that he decided to leave it in this year," said Denise Rosenzweig, a Stevens Creek Elementary School parent and foreign language advocate. "I think it sends a message to local school boards that foreign language is important."
Though the program has been subjected to budget cuts, legislators said they believe the money will remain in both budgets this year.
Lake Forest Hills in Richmond County and Stevens Creek in Columbia County are the only two schools in the area that have ESFL programs, which provide elementary pupils with 30 minutes of Spanish instruction each day. The state pays for only a portion of the cost.
In Richmond County, the school system foots the remainder of the bill, but in Columbia County, Stevens Creek parents shoulder much of the financial burden.
"For us, it's critical to keep our program going if the local system does not implement the program. We are dependent on it for those salaries," said Stevens Creek Principal Michelle Paschal, whose school has been participating since the 1997-98 school year.
The Columbia County School System for the past two years has studied the feasibility of offering Spanish in all of its elementary schools, but some board members feel it would be too expensive to fund without state support.

Great Template! Thanks for the awesome work!
One issue though – on "IE9", the logo seems is centering in the header, had to add the following code to the Stylesheet (style.css):
The original is first, the edited (working) is second:
#header #logo img {
margin:0 auto;

Hi there,
This isn't possible on the front-end. You would need to give the user author permissions so they can manage the knowledge base in the WP admin panel.
Hello !
can we try somewhere? where can we post ticket ?
Hi there,
There's no ticketing system in this theme, do you mean try the forum?
Ok, I'm looking for a theme like yours but with a ticket system. Is there a plugin that I could add to your theme?
Hi there,
The plugin says it should work with any theme. We theme doesn't have any direct integration/support for the plugin.
PreSale question:

Dose this theme support RTL and WPML?
Hi there,
The theme doesn't support RTL but it does support WPML.
I tried to edit the background of the 'title' div on each page (where the search bar is also located for the knowledge base, for example), but I only managed to edit it so it works on the homepage. Where should I edit the CSS file to properly edit the background?I used the following code:
.page-template-template-front-page-php #page-header {
background-size: 100% 100%;

A working example of the homepage can be seen on www.ceathiel.com, but it only works on the homepage, not on other pages.
Edit: I managed to get it working on the knowledge base, how would I make it work with bbpress and other 'normal' pages?
@Chris Mooney, any thoughts?
(Got it fixed!)
Hey there,
Apologies it's taken this long to get back to you. If you need anything else please don't hesitate to submit a support request via http://herothemes.com and we'll help you out best we can.
Hi I want to know that is it possible to use both forum and knowledge base search on home page?
Hey there,
Unfortunately it isn't unless you modify the theme. Sorry about that.
Great template! Do you guys have one for plain html, not a wordpress one?
Hi, Where is the option to open new support ticket ? i couldn't find Ticket management option? is there any external plugin needed for this ?
Hi there,
This theme doesn't come with a ticketing system. It provide support for BBPress instead.
That's too bad! sending you Pm.
Hi, very good forum we are interested to purchase and use it as customer support forum for Themeforest clients. We have a pre-sale question. What about the the Envato API and Topic status? Many thanks for your time.
To integrate the Envato API there are two plugins which I know of:
Hi, thank you for your reply. Did you already tested the plugins with the themes? What about the Topics status? Thanks.
Hi there,
I've used and tested Aqua Verifier, but I haven't used BBPress topic status.
Hi, Can I restrict only registered users to browse the website ?
Hi there,
You could use a plugin such as: http://wordpress.org/plugins/password-protected/
There are a number of different options depending on our requirements available on wordpress.org
Hi Chris, quick question:
How do I make the homepage widgets three across? I have three in there (KB, Forum and Text) but my text one is wrapping under KB.
Thanks, Wade

Dear Chris,
I am interested about buying either SupportDesk or KnowHow.
I have two questions:
1) How to choose between the two? Functionally what's the difference?
2) My company has 3 different products, and I would like to manage in a single installation all the products. Every product can have different categories. For example:
product1/installation product1/filters product1/tutorials
product2/common issues product2/usage product2/videos
There may be a main support page (http://support.company.com) and two products homepage (http://support.company.com/product1 and http://support.company.com/product2).
Can this be accomplished with your tool?
Hi there,
1. Support Desk has a separate news and more advanced FAQ sections. KnowHow is a knowledge base only with a simpler FAQ section.
2. You can use multiple levels of knowledge base categories to achieve this on a single installation. Your URLS won't be exactly as you've posted.
Thanks a lot Chris.
Hi, I realise from other comments that this theme supports WPML for blog and page items. However reading through I see that supportdesk defines kb and FAQ items separately to blog/pages items.
Therefore, can you confirm that supportdesk supports a multi language kb (and FAQ) via WMPL, and that kb articles and FAQs are supported with WPML the same way which pages/posts are handled (i.e. you create a base language kb article, then translate it via WPML to other languages – i.e. the post-id stays the same). Hope that makes sense, and thanks for your answer.
Hi there,
This theme is compatible with WPML and I believe other customers are using it with no issues.
Great – thanks!
I am facing lots of issue with your Knowledge Base area! when i try to add more than 10 records, on my Knowledge Base area i got tons of issue;
1. My preview does not work, (some times it does but my design messed up don't know why???)
2. Add image does not display at all, although all links are correct.
3. It gives me frequently error: "An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security."
4. When i view my log file it shows:
PHP Warning: array_pop() [function.array-pop]: The argument should be an array in /*//wp-content/themes/supportdesk/framework/template-navigation.php on line 154
Is there any way to resolve this all issue.
Hey there,
Thanks for purchasing a Hero Theme. Support is provided via http://herothemes.com/support/ please submit a support request there and we'll help you as best we can.
Is there a way to make the color banner/strip an image instead?
Hey there,

Hi there,
Sounds like you're installing the wrong zip file in WordPress. You need to install the theme zip that is contained within the theme package you download from ThemeForest.

- Artist: Zdenka Kovacicek

- Release Date: 8/19/2016
CCVinyl.com - Collectors' Choice Vinyl
|your cart is empty
LP version. PMG release the first ever reissue of Zdenka Kovacicek (1978), the funky self-titled album from Zdenka Kovacicek, one of the most significant and eminent figures from the Croatian music scene. Her 60-year career started very early. At the age of 13, Zdenka was a professional singer with the duo Hani and later on she took a trip through the worldwide pop music scene, until her return to Croatia. By 1978, she was ready to release her first solo album, which is nearly impossible to find. Zdenka and her team of producers combined disco funk, haunting electronic pieces, lush soulful ballads and glam oriented power-pop with a rocking edge together with one common denominator, the utterly distinctive and charismatic voice of Mrs. Kovacicek. It is a very colorful affair. She could easily be a black disco queen in the vein of Donna Summer. The Croatian language adds a great touch of exotica to the whole album as well. The music itself is Western-oriented: funky, soulish, bluesy and glammy, with modal jazzy elements. It feels honest and from the heart, from the first to the last song. You can say that Zdenka Kovacicek plays the music that was popular at the time, when this album was recorded, with a twist of her own spirit thrown in, which in the end makes it an outstanding and colorful record. Drop the needle anywhere on this black pearl and you will always be swallowed by an irresistibly hot groove and end up in a joyful mood.

User review on Renault Pulse written by Mayank Mittal on 13 March 2015
Mayank Mittal's review on Renault Pulse RxL
Year of Manufacture : 2011 | Driven no. of Kms. : 45900
- Pros: Engine options are frugal
- Cons: a bit outdated car against rivals
I liked its cabin space. But I never thought it would look so cute at first place. Later I was disappointed with its Nissan Micra resemblance which I dont find at all manly to drive. There is no great joy in driving it. I like to challenge the driving feats of the car but it failed. There is ofcourse one good thing that it has got wide range of cheaper engine varieties. Also its warranty is great with 2+2 year. The space of the cabins is also comforting in terms of the size. Honestly I am a bit off the driving qualtiy. It must work on it.

Kolkata Knight Riders look to rule the middle kingdom
Having off-loaded almost the entire team except captain Gambhir and Sunil Narine, KKR had to start afresh. As the team could not shake off middle-order woes in the last few seasons, it has prompted changes in the middle order.india Updated: Apr 16, 2014 20:04 IST
Out in the Abu Dhabi heat, the Gautam Gambhir-led Kolkata Knight Riders were sweating it out to ensure the afflictions of last year don't show up when they take on holders Mumbai Indians at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Wednesday. Often great starts were squandered away by the middle-order, and KKR are poised for a few changes.
Having off-loaded almost the entire team except captain Gambhir and their trump card Sunil Narine, KKR had to start afresh. As the team could not shake off middle-order woes in the last few seasons, it has prompted changes in the middle order. Manoj Tiwary, Eoin Morgan, Laxmi Ratan Shukla and Yusuf Pathan had formed the fulcrum of the batting. Barring a few occasions, KKR often crawled in the middle. That meant starts of 45-1 in the first eight overs were often reduced to 70-4, and the late order were in disarray.
Fresh ammunition
In a bid for course correction, KKR have picked Robin Uthappa and his Pune Warriors team mate Manish Pandey. Buying back Manvinder Bisla indicated trust bordering on loyalty. Same goes for Yusuf Pathan. It is more likely that Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will get to play more than Dutch batsman Ryan ten Doeschate. KKR are looking for relief and hope their rearranged middle-order clicks.
"We have got Uthappa, Pandey and Shakib, we look strong in the middle-order than last year. Yusuf is still there, and we are hopeful he plays well," said Trevor Bayliss, KKR coach. "But one thing is a must, no matter how strong your middle-order looks, that does not guarantee results. It is the responsibility of all 11 players to put up a good score."
However, one decision that still merits a debate, notwithstanding the stature of the player involved, concerns Jacques Kallis. The South Africa great has retired from Tests and T20s, and the decision to still retain him using the joker card has failed to convince many. "Jacques has got great records. He hasn't played cricket for some time now, but he is in great shape in terms of fitness. You write off Jacques only at your own peril. I will be surprised if he doesn't do well," said Bayliss.
While it remains to be seen how Kallis shapes up, it looks likely that it will be the middle-order that will dictate KKR's course once again.

Discussion in 'Pork' started by dsjardo, Oct 11, 2014.
I am smoking a 10lb pork butt and after 3hrs at 220 its sayin meat is at 100.
Does this sound right?
Probably. It will slow down even stall somewhere around 155° or so. You want 200°-205° for pulled or 190° for sliced.
Happy smoken.
It could be right, every piece of meat has a mind of its own. I usually smoke my pork butts at 230-235 or so. Be sure you use a good thermometer to check temps.
Yeah, bump your heat a bit.....I normally do butts at 250, some are smoking them even hotter now....fast & furious ala Myron Mixon. It will take as long as it takes.....have a beverage, enjoy the ride....Willie

I am planning a trip to Paris in December and plan to rent a car at CDG Airport. I am trying to book the rental online, and I was wondering if I will be allowed to drive to London with a car rented in France. I plan on using my Visa card and decline the rental insurance. Ive rented previously in Germany and was allowed to travel to france and Switzerland with it. I am not sure if I will be able to do that . I would appreciate some help with that.

Renting in France and driving to London
Report Abuse
Well it will depend on the contract you enter into with the car rental company, some will let you, some will not. But I'm not sure why you would want to, firstly you have the cost of the ferry/train for shipping the car across the Channel, then you either have to pay for it again coming back or you have to pick up an extorniate fee from the rental company to do the same thing.
It would be cheaper to take the train or even drive to the last french station, give the car back and hire a new one on the other side.
If you are going to London, then you will find out that having a car in the major European city is about as bad a decision as you can make, the things barely move, there are extra charges to bring it into the centre and you will not believe the cost of parking the thing.
Why would you decline the rental insurance out of interest? Does your own cover the legal minimum?
Report Abuse
Thank you for your fast response. The only reason that I am considering renting a car is because it will be 5 of us on that trip. I will be staying in the outskirts of Paris the first 4 days and the place has free parking. The place in London also offers free parking and we plan on using subway/underground on both cities moving around. I thought it would be the cheapest and the most flexible option. I thought of flying to london also on those budget airlines but adding all the taxi or other available travel fares it would be just cheaper.

Steering wheel location
Report Abuse
There's no point asking here; you'll have to check with your rental car company if it's allowed, and if there is an additional charge. If you drive in the UK with a continental car, the steering wheel will be on the 'wrong' side of the car; not a huge problem, but be extra careful when overtaking other cars.
You have free parking, but will be paying rental for a car in Paris as well as in London, while paying for public transport at the same time. Free parking is unusual in London; you are probably on the outskirts of town there as well. Only you can determine wether it's cheaper this way.
Don't forget to add tolls in France and petrol costs.
Report Abuse
Is there a reason you are staying in the suburbs of Paris? Or London? If it is due to cost savings I think this is a false economy - at least in London. The time/money spent commuting to the main sites usually outweigh a budget hotel in centre. Not to mention the atmosphere of staying in city centres.
I would compare the time/cost of having a car (with the steering wheel on the wrong side for the UK) including gas, and ferry costs vs. booking early Eurostar tickets that will take you town centre to town centre.
It seems overly complicated and pricey when you can easily take the eurostar for affordable rates in 2.25 hours and not hassle with a car.
Report Abuse
From a suburb of Paris to a suburb of London, public transport might be a faster option than driving - or might not be. It may or may not be cheaper than a train or plane with five in the car.
It's certainly the case that from an Ile de France exurb like Compiegne to a town like Maidstone, it's probably quicker to drive via the Eurotunnel, once you've factored in the time getting to and from an airport or station and the hanging round. You can't just drive onto a ferry or train: you'll hang round the terminal almost as long as you'd hang round a station. From an exurb like Melun to somewhere like St Albans, the drive could easily take twice as long though.
Booked sufficiently ahead of time, it's just possible it might be cheaper - but the tunnel and ferry companies rarely offer deals that good, and the hire co WILL pack a formidable surcharge.
On the other hand, if you really are in deepest suburbia on both sides, getting between the two houses by public transport is going to be hellish, and hiring a second car in London is going to add to your costs.
There simply isn't an easy answer. Both CDG and the Gare du Nord are ghastly to get to from most of the Paris agglomeration, though if you're on direct tube/metro/RER lines to the Gare du Nord and King's Cross, the train's going to be the fastest route of all.
You need to go through the cost and logistics in detail for each stage of this idea. Personally, I'd do my utmost to kill some of your constraints: I'd hire the Paris car, dump it before my trip to London, get a train to lodging in central London and fly back home direct from London.
Report Abuse
Everyone else has mentioned the issues involved. My question is where are you actually staying in both cities. The 'outskirts' of London could mean anywhere in about 6 counties. And many areas would be very inconvenient for daily sightseeing in London. And location in Paris is also important.
. . . So where</> exactly are you staying???
Report Abuse
And WHY are you staying on the outskirts?
Report Abuse
"And visa covers collision and theft"
So, let's imagine you are in a accident and you kill the other driver, are you insured for the action that would be taken against you? Are you sure?
The car bursts into flames??
Just interested because I've been renting in Europe for years on business and pleasure and I've never yet done so on just Visa, nor would my accountant let me.
Report Abuse
Almost all rental companies ban their cars from being taken on ferry, Euro Tunnel shuttle etc. You can't generally leave Continental Europe. Hertz used to do 'le swap' at the French Eurotunnel shuttle station, where you can drop off French car and pick up UK-spec car in Folkestone on arrival, and vice versa, but I think the service has been abolished.
Report Abuse
>>> I was wondering if I will be allowed to drive to London with a car rented in France.
This would be covered in Terms and Conditions page you will be offered to read during the booking process. Whether you paid attention or not, the rental company can enforce it once you agreed to the "terms."
>>> I thought it would be the cheapest and the most flexible option.
A car would not automatically give you either. You would have to look at the exact routing comparing logistics and cost of one car for all, a car in France and another in UK, some car, all public transit, etc. I have seen postings by many people automatically thinking, without analysis, that a car trip would be cheaper and more flexible only to come back with unanticipated hefty charges and time lost dealing with rental car issues.
Report Abuse
I am also the happy father of a large family. We take the car (personal) when we go to London. I find it very easy, I put all my luggage my kids my wife and pay peanuts to take the tunnel.
Maybe OP has a reason that some of us can't think of to stay in the suburbs and it makes even more sense to then drive instead of ReR or TERvto Gare du Nord, Eurostar than tube and local trains to reach the suburb.
So on practicality I would recommend the tunnel on cost also.
You 'just' have to check with the rental.
I imagine you come back to france with the car, if not drop off charges would probably be a killer.
Report Abuse
>>I imagine you come back to france with the car, if not drop off charges would probably be a killer.<<
They would almost certainly have to return to France (Assuming the rental contract allowed taking it to the UK in the first place). Otherwise what would they do with a left hand drive car left in right hand drive UK.
>>Maybe OP has a reason that some of us can't think of to stay in the suburbs<<
Maybe yes, maybe no. Some people have good reasons for staying in particular places -- but every day we get threads from folks who just assume it is cheaper/better to stay in the outskirts.
So I just asked -- in case the OP is in the 2nd camp and has miscalculated a bit . . .
Report Abuse
We drive to London regularly; like WoinParis says, with a family in one car, it usually works out cheaper than 5 separate tickets, even adding the cost of petrol and parking. But we are not traveling with a rental car.
Report Abuse
But you would need to add the cost of the rental as well as the petrol and parking.
Report Abuse
Just interested because I've been renting in Europe for years on business and pleasure and I've never yet done so on just Visa
And I have been doing it for years with no problem; and I have had an incident that required repairs. I suspect that if the driver kills someone in a driving accident, the insurance coverage will be the least of his problems; even though all rental agreements include liability.
Report Abuse
I'm also not clear if the OP intends to return to France with the rental/hire car. If they don't, and only plan to tour London and will then return to the ?States from London, then I don't see much point in paying for a rental car and paying to take it over/under the Channel and paying to park it in London. I'd just take the Eurostar from central Paris to central London. However, I may not be understanding the situation clearly.
And you would need to see if the rental company will allow you to do this, and if there will be additional charges if you plan to drop off/return the car in the UK versus in France.
There would also be the issue of the steering wheel being on the other side of the car, or perhaps that wouldn't bother you.
Best Eurostar fares are purchased well in advance of travel.
If you plan on seeing London, I'd stay as central as possible, to minimize or eliminate time (and costs) of commuting into the city center every day.
Report Abuse
I have seen odd LHD cars with continental number plates at rental car depots near Heathrow, so it's possible in some cases, but I don't even want to estimate the drop-off fee. Would be many times the cost of rental. You normally have to pay extra for full insurance cover in UK (normally third-party only for rental cars) and breakdown cover, as well as ferry/tunnel fares.
Report Abuse
Sounds like a crazy plan to me, no matter how you parse it.

Fire Consumes the Beach Club Restaurant at Sea Horse Ranch
A fire burned down the Beach Club at Sea Horse Ranch last Saturday afternoon. The fire started at about 3:30 p.m. People explained that the place was functioning normally, even though at that time the kitchen was off. Two couples of clients had left just a few minutes before enjoying lunch.
According to the version collected by www.puertoplatadigital.com, although the firefighters arrived on time, the efficiency with which they performed their work left much to be desired due to the difficulties to connect the water hose.
The place almost entirely burned down, leaving only the parts built in concrete.
At the time of writing, there was no reports certifying the cause of the fire or the amount involved in the loss.
The Beach Club at Sea Horse Ranch offered spectacular panoramic ocean view, smart casual décor and fresh menu. As attraction they contracted local and international artists to perform for diners.

Kids' Survival Kits for Warm Days
Even for those who work full time, there is something about the long school-holiday season that impels us to continue thinking of it as a "lazy" time of year. Maybe because things at home are a bit easier without homework and the daily routine of school on top of our own daily routine. Working hours feel a little softer, daylight stays with us longer. It seems we humans are still wired to appreciate this seasonal cycle. Loads of day camps offer wonderful activities for children to keep them occupied during the day, and they'll need a different set of gear.
- Backpack
If they don't use one for school, they should have one for camp, as these are often outdoors, with the kids hiking about parks and cities alike. Get a pack with a lot of pockets because holiday adventures always require multiple compartments. If your family is planning a trip, a new roomy backpack with a personalised name tag can also inspire them to help with the packing, but don't be surprised if their list of essentials includes a rainbow wig, a rock collection, and their favourite stuffy. Don't get too precious about the backpack because it's going to get dirty.
- Sun protection
We probably don't need to mention this one, but we will. Research has confirmed that sunburns at an early age raise the risk of melanoma later in life, and the medical community is still united in its support for sun protection. Roll-on or sunscreen sticks are more expensive, but if you've ever had to clean zinc goop out of the bottom of a bag, you'll find it worth the money. Have one that just lives in the backpack at all times. Lightweight protective clothing should also have a place in the bag. Of course, skincancer.org recommends wraparound sunglasses, but we won't hold our breath for the day the average 7-year-old remembers to put those on or doesn't lose them.
- Stainless steel bottle with a wide top
Much easier to keep clean and to sterilise when necessary than plastic bottles, steel bottles can also take the banging around they're sure to receive during an average week's adventuring out of school.
- Their first wallet
Between field trips and snacks, children will sometimes need a little spending money at camp. Don't send them with money if they aren't going to need it, as it may get "traded" or used unwisely among young children.

William Mayo
Personality Number 8
William Mayo is a male celebrity.
He was born on Saturday June 29th 1861, in Le Sueur, MN, USA,.
William Mayo appears strong and powerful. He has an impressive personality and can influence and even intimidate through sheer force. He has natural authority. William's competence and enthusiasm attract people with resources.
Mayo radiates confidence. People defer to him because they sense his sureness and effectiveness. William Mayo also exudes a kind of controlled benevolence. People sense that he is generous, once he is convinced of the worthiness of the cause.
It is important for William to dress well. Mayo radiates a kind of raw power and able-ness, which needs to be refined and enhanced by his clothing. William Mayo may even dress a bit flashy, but that will not harm him. Quality is among William's highest priorities, and should reflect in his clothing.
Although most eights have a strong constitution, they can be prone to indigestion, ulcers, and heart disease due to their reckless eating and drinking habits and their propensity to be workaholics.
His Achilles heel is William's capacity for an egocentric attitude. The negative side of his personality can cause Mayo to be ruthless, greedy, and intensely lonely.
Conversely, William Mayo can be spontaneous and excited. He is essentially warm and jovial. In his heart of hearts, William wants everyone to be as excited and as happy as him. Those who are around Mayo often sense this, and his coworkers and employees usually like him.
You and William
About William's Personality number
Mayo's Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what William sends out, as well as what he allows to approach.
It discriminates in the kinds of people and information William Mayo lets enter his heart and mind.
