As well as a wide range of cruise holidays departing from UK ports, Iglucruise also offers a choice of fly cruises. Fly and cruise holidays allow you the convenience of starting your cruise holiday directly from your first port of call. As well as package fly cruise deals, you can also enjoy the flexibility of booking your own flights and simply booking a cruise only holiday from a non UK port. Cheap cruises | Last minute cruises | Best selling cruises | Mediterranean cruises | Caribbean cruises | Norway Cruises
Fly cruises from UK work just like a standard package cruise holiday. You fly from your choice of regional airport and are then met at the other end and transferred to the departure port of your cruise ship. After a relaxing cruise holiday you are transferred back to the airport for your flight home. The benefit of a flight and cruise packages is that you are immediately in the heart of the action; rather than taking a day or two at sea to get there. This gives you more time to visit the different ports of call - if your main aim is to explore lots of different places fly cruises are an excellent choice. Should you require an overnight hotel stay as part of the package (mainly for Caribbean & Alaskan Cruises) - the cruise line will supply this, though many flights will land the same day as the ship sails. There is a great choice of 2014, cheap fly cruises 2014 and cheap fly cruises currently on offer.
Fly cruises give you the opportunity to cruise every corner of the globe with needing a world cruise. With cruises from Miami offering fantastic deals to the Caribbean and cruises from New York taking you to the home of Transatlantic cruises, North America offers some fantastic options. If the Mediterranean sunshine is more to your liking then you could try crusing from Palma, Mallorca, for a more relaxed feel or a cruise form Barcelonacruise form Barcelona, one of Europes finest cities renowned for its culture, weather and nightlife.
If you are looking for more flexibility with your fly cruise, then it is possible to just book a cruise holiday and maybe take advantage of low cost flights. This fly cruise option is available with many of the American cruise lines, allowing you to travel to exotic locations such as the Caribbean, Hawaii and Mexico, selected cruise lines also offer fly and cruise holidays travelling around Europe and the Mediterranean. Alternatively these cruise holidays can be book as an entire fly cruise package. Fly cruises can also be easily combined with cruise and stay holidays, allowing you the option of staying in port for several days before or after your cruise.

What our customers say
Hi Just to let you know we are absolutely delighted with the fabulous room we have been allocated on the Oceania Marina! And the ship is fantastic, what a high standard . So far our cruise has been perfect in every way . And thank you very much for the bottle of champagne in our cabin - this was very timely as we just had some very good news, so we toasted the event in style on our balcony. We couldn't be happier and we'll definitely be booking with Iglu again! Thanks for excellent service. Liz Wholley (September 2015) Read more feedback

St. Francis (Pa.) defeats Sacred Heart 73-68
LORETTO, Pa. (AP)—Devin Sweetney scored 31 points to lead St. Francis (Pa.) to a 73-68 win over Sacred Heart on Saturday.
Sweetney shot 14-for-16 from the free throw line and added 13 rebounds for the Red Flash (11-16, 9-7 Northeast Conference), who have won four games in a row. Wil Felder chipped in with 13 points.
A free throw from Sacred Heart's Corey Hassan tied the game at 61 with 4:13 to play, but the Red Flash responded with a 7-2 run capped by a 3-pointer from Cedric Latimer that put St. Francis ahead 68-63 with 2:22 remaining.
Hassan scored 20 points to lead the Pioneers (13-14, 6-10), who have lost seven of their past eight games. Ryan Litke added 17 points, while Liam Potter grabbed 13 rebounds.
St. Francis shot 20-for-26 from the foul line (76.9 percent), while Sacred Heart shot 12-for-16 (75 percent).
The Red Flash bench outscored Sacred Heart's 19-9.

Very User Friendly
The method of creating tasks and lists is extremely user friendly. All creation of tasks is done in the main page instead of taking the user to separate screens for each one. The main criticism of the program is that when inputting the due date and time, the dialogue box that opens does not allow you to type the date or time. You have to scroll through the list of dates instead of being able to arrow down or simply type what you want.More

Meh its alright
It gets the job done. That's about all I can say for this app. I hate how the # of characters is limited in the boxes. I'm usually just a few characters short of finishing what I want to write which is super annoying. Also when deleting tasks, it will sometimes unexpectedly crash. I haven't lost anything important really from this yet but it is pretty annoying.More

Promising but crashes
From the brief seconds I used it, the interface and usability looked great! However, as soon as I try to set a date or a time on a task the app crashes. It would be a promising app but as I can't use it long enough to even create and complete a task it's useless.More

Can't Quite get it

Good functional app but lacking some things
I am trying to switch from Apple to Windows and have been looking for a good app to replace my favorite to-do list. This one is functional: it is easy to use and allows space for making notes on each task. I like that it is easy to reorganize the lists and the tasks. It's great that I can set a reminder for just before or even a week before each task. It leaves me wishing though: I'd like the ability to set tasks to repeat automatically. Also, it would be nice if the things that were overdue would be shown with the things that are due soon. I wish there was a default time setting that I can control. I'd also like to be able to color code my different lists. But this is the best one I've found so far that I can use with Windows.More

Taskify - 4, Potential 10!
Taskify is a potentially fabulous app. The following improvements would greatly increase its functionality; 1. Being able to Sync through OneDrive. 2. Create an indicator when there are notes in the expanded box. 3. Increase the number of possible characters in the notes section. 4. Able to print the lists. With these improvements I would rate Taskify a 10 on a scale of 1 to 5!!!More

if only there weren't some small issues
I've tried at least 4 other task apps - as a grad student, I LIVE BY THE LIST. This is definitely my favorite so far. It's not over complicated, but it gives you freedom to use the list as you need to. The biggest problem so far, however, is that when you're trying to set a due date, you can't enter the date with the keyboard, nor can you pick one with your cursor, or with the arrow keys. The ONLY way to pick your date is to use the scrolling thing on your mouse/keypad, and it is very difficult to get it to stay put on the right date! Incredibly frustrating!More

Turn it up, Turn it up
Hand-in-hand over time, meeting each other eye-to-eye
Can I trust in this strange and newborn feeling?
Dont you ever let me go, or wander from me to and fro
Now I know that a lovely night is about to begin
Shes the cutest girl that I know in her class
If I want to get her email should I just ask?
Maybe I am a kinda cool guy
Theres no need for me to be acting kinda shy
Yeah, I think I am handsome, really
I chose my clothes carefully, good enough surely
Although I know I am a still little scrawny
Im growing up, my peak is starting soon already
Yet I find this situation kinda awkward
I cant tell if this love is really it

"Adventure Time with Finn & Jake's Evicted Song - Lyrics"
So Finn & Jake set out to find a new home
It's gonna be tough for a kid and a dog on their own
Here's a little house
Ah, Finn's stickin' his foot in
Well, that's a bad idea dude, cause now that bird thinks you're a jerk, Finn
And now they're chillin' on the side of a hill
And thinkin' livin' in a cloud be totally thrillin'
Unless they find something inside
Like a mean cloud man and his beautiful cloud bride
A beehive, oh no! Don't put your foot in there, guy
Y'all tried that before, and you know it didn't turn out right
Big shell, go inside, look around, it seems alright
Frog jumps out, ah! It's a tiger
Throwing down potions for food and fire
You know you should have stayed and fought that sexy vampire lady
Jake was feeling terrified, he was super scared of her vampire bite
Which is understandable, cause vampires are really powerful
They're unreasonable and burnt out on dealing with mortals
Oh Marceline, why are you so mean?
Sherlock x John Part 10When John woke he was feeling better than he had in a long time. He opened his eyes and was surprised to find no Sherlock in bed. Frowning, he licked his lips (a bad habit of his) and sat up, rubbing his eyes.Sherlock x John Part 104 years ago in Profiles More Like This
The sheets beside him crinkled, and he turned his head, seeing a folded piece of paper. He reached out and grabbed it, he glanced at the door and unfolded it.
'Dear Johnny boy,
Did you miss me? I know I missed you. Why don't you come to the café at 10 and you and I can have a little chat.

John frowned; the handwriting was bugging him. There was something about it, but he just couldn't place it. He glanced at the clock it was only 9am. He shook his head, what a big sleep in, and got up. He went over to the bathroom and had a shower, cleaning himself up after last night.
He walked into the kitchen in a pair of fresh clothes and saw Sherlock sitting on the couch, clearly thinking. "Tea?" John asked as he walked past, wondering how to tell Sherlock about the note.
"No thanks
Sherlock x John Part 22Eyes opening, John sighed as he realised he was still tiny.Sherlock x John Part 223 years ago in Profiles More Like This
Stretching out on his pillow, John hopped off the bed, gasping a little at the impact and walked through the open bedroom door.
Climbing down the stairs was difficult and time consuming, but John didn't want Sherlock to have to trudge up and down the stairs each time.
Huffing, out of breath, John walked into the living room, and was surprised to find Sherlock not there. Walking into the kitchen, Sherlock wasn't there either.
Beginning to panic, John called out to him.
Hearing no response, John bit his lip, wondering where Sherlock had gone.
Slow footsteps came up the stairs and John froze. He recognised them a second before he heard the high-pitched male voice.
"Oh, Johnny boy~! I know your in here!"
Feet slipping slightly on the floor, John dived under the couch and pressed himself against the chair leg as the footsteps entered the room.
"Did you miss me, Johnny boy? I thought you might call," Moriarty's voice taunted him, th

Groaning in exasperation, John held up his favourite jumper, well it WAS his favourite jumper, what was left of it anyway.
He glared at Sherlock, who widened his eyes and gave him an 'innocent' look behind his safety goggles, two test tubes in his hands. John's jumper and several large black holes in it and had a strange green tint to it and smelt off.
There was nothing John could do to save it. "That was my favourite jumper, Sherlock!" John complained, chucking it into the fire and, dejectedly, watching it burn.
There was a hissing sound. "I was experimenting on the fabrication of sheep's wool," he stated simply.
Sighing in frustrating, John headed for the door without his beloved jumper, even though it was gusty and snowing outside.
"Where are you going?" Sherlock asked, sounding surprised.
"Out," John said curtly, he seriously needed some fresh air and a job.
With that thought in mind, he slammed the door shut be

"Oh, come on John! It isn't that bad!"
"Yes it is! It's completely horrible!"
Sher lock pouted, and John groaned, scrubbing his face furiously with his hands.
"I still say no, Sherlock."
John glanced at the test tube in Sherlock's hand. "Fine," he sighed, unable to hold his ground against Sherlock's pleading.
John grimaced and took the test tube Sherlock was holding out. It was filled with a dark purple liquid, which John didn't know what it was. Sherlock wanted him to drink it for an experiment. John took a deep drink, Sherlock watching with a fascinated expression.
It tasted disgusting. Like dog shit. He swallowed, and an even worse after taste came back. "Oh God," John mumbled, shoving the test tube back at Sherlock and rushing to the bathroom.
Leaning back against the cool tiles of the bathroom floor, John groaned. Sweat covered his face and, from what he had seen in the mirror, he was pale white. Even paler than Sherlock, in fact.
He sat bol
Sherlock x John Part 15There was something John needed to do, yet he was hesitant as it would mean leaving Sherlock for a couple of days.Sherlock x John Part 153 years ago in Profiles More Like This
Staring at Sherlock, who was literally upside down on the sofa, over the top of his newspaper, John wondered how to tell Sherlock.
John's eyes lost focus and he stared without actually seeing at Sherlock, as he tried to think up the best way to tell Sherlock.
With a loud sigh, Sherlock rolled off of the couch and marched over to John, taking his newspaper, startling John, and bent down to stare into John's eyes intensely.
"Gah! SH-Sherlock! What are you doing?!" John exclaimed, leaning backwards.
Sherlock just followed him, peering into his eyes and grabbing his chin to hold him still when John would have moved away.
"Where are you going?" Sherlock demanded; a slight trace of worry in his eyes.
John sighed, closing his eyes briefly. Reaching up with really noticing, John runs a hand through Sherlock's curls.
"I have some things I need to do. It will take a couple of days,
Sherlock x John Part 18When John woke up next, Sherlock was leaning over him, eyes closed and his lips pressed gently against John's head.Sherlock x John Part 183 years ago in Profiles More Like This
John tilted his head up and nuzzled Sherlock's chin with the top of his head. He was so glad that he was with Sherlock again.
After John had been discharged from the hospital, they went straight home and Sherlock made John some edible food.
After he had finished eating, John settled back in his arm chair and watched Sherlock watch him.
"Sher, how long was I gone for?" This was the question that had been bugging him since he got out of the hospital.
Sherlock's face turned dark, and John thought he might not answer. "Three weeks," Sherlock said in a low, controlled voice.
John's mind reeled. How had he lasted three weeks on just two cups of water and a piece of bread every couple of days?
"Uh," John cleared his throat, "alright. How did you find me?"
"I was never going to stop until I found you, John," Sherlock said passionately, leaning forwards and fixing John with
Sherlock x John Part 14Sherlock watched John sleep, his eyes wondering over John's face. He was so peaceful when he slept. It made Sherlock want to watch him sleep all day.Sherlock x John Part 143 years ago in Profiles More Like This
But, of course, that was never going to happen. Sherlock huffed angrily as someone banged on the door downstairs. He longed to yell at them to shut UP, but he didn't want to wake John.
Trying to soothe himself, he reached out and traced the lines of John's face. John smiled slightly in his sleep and nuzzled into Sherlock's hand.
Oh, how completely amazing John was. He seemed to be such a simple person, yet he never stopped surprising Sherlock. Like how easily he accepted Sherlock's feelings.
Or how he kissed Sherlock.
Or came up with a nickname that he didn't hate
John was such a mystery.
His mystery.
A soft smile drifted across his lips and he leant forward, placing a kiss on John's forehead. He lingered there for a while, until the banging on the door got to infuriating.
Wrapping himself in a sheet tightly, he marched downstairs,

Mycroft was in the middle of the garden, looking around with obvious distaste, his umbrella hanging form his right arm.
He looked up when the door slammed against the wall and gave a small smile when he saw Sherlock striding over to him. Then he seemed to realise that Sherlock did not look the slightest bit happy, as his smile dropped, and his eyes flickered over to John.
"Sherlock," Mycroft greeted when Sherlock came to a stop in front of him, John lingering behind slightly (but making sure he was still within reaching distance for Sherlock).
"Mycroft," Sherlock greeted icily, eyes narrowed.
In the back ground, John glared at all the other people in the garden who were trying not to be suspicious as they got within hearing range.
To be honest, it was quite a surprise for Mycroft to tu

Sherlock let John push him back until Sherlock was sitting on the couch. Then John made Sherlock lie back and straddled his waist.
John leaned down, grateful for the distraction, and pressed his mouth gently to Sherlock's. Sherlock reached up and grabbed John's neck, pulling him down so that he was more firmly pressed against him.
Sliding his tongue smoothly into Sherlock's mouth, John gave a low moan, and framed Sherlock's face with his hands.
Sherlock pulled back and John trailed kisses down his jaw and neck.
Running his hands up and down John's back briefly, Sherlock rested his hands on John's shoulders and gently, yet firmly, pushed John back.
Slightly confused, slightly wary, John sat back up.
Sherlock propped himself up on his elbows and searched John's face. "What's wrong?" he asked softly.
John stiffened, he didn't want to tell Sherlock, he felt pathetic. He turned his face away from Sherlock and avo

It was quite rare to see Sherlock sleeping. He was probably exhausted after his fight with the suspect...Sherlock x John Part 34 years ago in Profiles More Like This
Sherlock's face was so relaxed and peaceful and... so innocent. His curls were a mess and John noticed that his hand was still tangled in Sherlock's curls. He flexed his hand, wincing when his hand cramped. He gently withdrew his hand and gently stretched it.
Yawning, he looked at the time and groaned when he saw that it was only 5am. He knew that he had no hope of going back to sleep, so he thought about what he should do. He could stay here and watch Sherlock sleep, or he could get up and go shopping. He could get some of Sherlock's favourite tea...
Nodding decisively, John slowly withdrew his legs and let go of Sherlock's hand. John froze when Sherlock frowned, reaching out. Thinking fast, John grabbed a pillow and gave it to Sherlock, who cu
The Lasting Distraction"Sherlock? What are you doing?" John asked, watching his friend pace the ground in front of him. "You've been going at it for twenty minutes. If I didn't know better, you'd walk a canyon into the ground."The Lasting Distraction3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
"Don't be an idiot, John," Sherlock snapped half heartedly. "That's physically impossible. It would take hundreds apon thousands of years to do such a thing, not to mention you would have to have a force to work the rocks and such out from under my feet. If you were referring to my walking actually wearing down the rocks enough so a canyon would start to form, you can add on another few billion years."
John raised an eye brow at Sherlock's answer, but shook it off and continued to watch his friend in silence. He watched for another five minutes, his eyes lazily following his friend as he passed in front of him, before Sherlock slumped down next to him on the wall, huffing and crossing his arms.

It reminded him of Jennifer Wilkens. The hair, the way the body was positioned, her jewellery.
Now that John thought about it, her coat was the same, except for the colour, and so was her shoes.
Maybe he was reading to much into this, besides, he could ask Sherlock in the morning...
With that thought, John drifted off to sleep.
Gun shots startled John. He looked around and found himself in the army infirmary. A yell of pain, and seconds later a

Then he remembered the huge love bite Sherlock had given him. John's grin dropped and a scowl replaced it. He turned his head and glared at Sherlock, who was looking in the opposite direction from him. He opened his mouth to yell at Sherlock, but the consulting detective sighed heavily and looked directly into John's eyes. "OK, so I bit you. And gave you a huge love bite. Who cares?" Sherlock groaned.
John was just about to tell Sherlock exactly 'who cares', but, once again, Sherlock cut him off before he could start. He leaned down to whisper in John's ear, his hot breath sending shivers of pleasure through John's being. "Besides, we both know you enjoyed it," he whispered.
John face flushed from embarassment, and Shelock, obviously enjoying John's embarassment, started nibbling light

John groaned, putting his book down on his bed beside him. "Please don't let that be Sherlock being bored "
With a resigned sigh, John got out of his warm, comfy bed and trudged downstairs to where Sherlock was shooting the wall and Mrs Hudson was screeching at him.
"What the bloody hell are you doing?" John yelled at Sherlock, scowling.
John sighed, closing his eyes. Mrs Hudson snuck out of the room. "Honestly, Sherlock, you know that I'M the one who has to pay for that," John groaned, gesturing at the wall.
"I'm BORED!" Sherlock groaned, shooting the wall again with John's handgun.
John snatched the gun off of him and stuffed it down his pants. "I'm going out," John said, turning, grabbing his wallet, phone and jumper.
"Where are you going?" Sherlock called as John descended the stairs.
He dialled Greg as he jogged down the stairs. "Hello, Greg," John greeted.
"Hello John." Greg sounded worn.
"Ready for a night out?" John

Sherlock was still lying on top of John, and he just groaned in response, burying his face deeper into John's neck.
John shuddered slightly at the feeling of Sherlock's hot breath on his neck. Then he shook himself and glanced at the clock. 7am.
At one point, Sherlock must have gotten up and taken off John's shirt and pants and put him under the covers. John's phone beeped; and he groaned. Somehow, he managed to get his arm free and grabbed his phone which was under his pillow.
'Morning, Johnny boy~ - J'
'Go away, Moriarty.' John messaged back, getting annoyed at him.
"Who are you texting so early?" Sherlock asked in a mumble against John's skin.
"No one of importance. He's bugging me," John groaned, tightening his hand in Sherlock's thick curls.
"He?" Sherlock asked curiously.
"For God's sake, Sherlock. Don't you dare get jealous again," John said, exasperated.
Sherlock grumbled. "I'm not jealous."

"As his older brother, I feel that it is my duty to warn you of the consequences if you happen to break Sherlock's heart," Mycroft stated, completely serious.
John knew he was being serious, but the words sounded strange coming out of Mycroft's mouth. "I know that is how you feel, Mycroft, but I think that it is none of your business what Sherlock and I do. Besides, Sherlock is old enough to kill me himself if I happen to break his heart, which I have no wish to do," John stated, lifting an eye brow at Mycroft.
"I know that is so, John, but just know that I will be watching. And if you do any wrong to my brother, accidental or not, it will be me you will face," he threatened.

It wasn't like he had meant for it to happen. He had come home from surgery, tired, grumpy, and sore. Sherlock was leaning back in the armchair, mind elsewhere. John put up with a lot from Sherlock-more than flatmates normally put up with- but he would not put up with Sherlock stealing his armchair. "Sherlock," John cleared his throat, "you're in my seat."
Sherlock looked up, glaring at John. "Yes, brilliant, John."

Sherlock didn't look up at him, he just sat staring at the wall, hands stapled under his chin. John paused at the coat rack, thinking over what Sherlock just said.
"Excuse me?" He asked, turning and taking three long, brief strides to Sherlock.
"You very well heard me, it's useless for me to repeat myself." Sherlock said, sending him a sideways glance.
"And what are you talking about when you say I'm wasting my time?" John asked, leaning on the table in front of Sherlock.
"All your girlfriends and -dates-. You're wasting your time." Sherlock lowered his hands and stared at John.
John raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh? Is that so? Just because I want to have some fun? Just because I want to actually have a girlfriend?"
"You don't need a girlfriend." Sherlock said, standing and going into the kitchen, starting up the kettle.

The Chicago River, Chicago

A great way to learn more about the city is to go on one of the Chicago Architecture Foundation's river cruises. These cruises depart from the southeastern corner of Michigan Avenue Bridge (just follow the blue signs that lead down the stairs). Reservations are highly recommended, or you should at least buy your ticket early in the day for an afternoon cruise. There are two 90-minute cruise options: one goes along the Chicago River and out on Lake Michigan, while the other one does a longer circuit along the Chicago River - I chose the latter option because I was mostly interested in learning more about all the fabulous buildings of downtown Chicago. A volunteer from the CAF narrated the cruise and gave us lots of information as we went down the north branch of the river and then backtracked to go on the south branch, to finally explore the eastern branch right up to Lake Michigan. She was both interesting and funny, and thanks to her great knowledge of architecture, she made even the most seemingly boring post-modern skyscrapers look unique and beautiful in their own way. She also gave us quite a bit of information about the river itself, proudly announcing that it had recently been upgraded from "toxic" to "highly polluted" (!). She also explained how the river actually contributed to the spread of the Great Fire of 1871 instead of stopping it because of all the junk that was in it at the time, and how authorities managed to solve that problem by reversing the flow of the river so that instead of flowing down to Lake Michigan, all that garbage would now float down towards St. Louis!
The river cruises are offered from the beginning of May until the end of November, and tickets cost $30 on the weekend and $28 on weekdays. I thought it was one of the best things to do on a sunny day in Chicago!
Although I had already taken the Chicago Architecture Foundation River Cruise Tour a few years ago, Allan had not. He really wanted to tour the Chicago River, and I was more than "game" to take this incredible tour once again.
bOne of the finest activities that you can experience while visiting Chicago during the late spring, summer, or fall (end of April through late November), is to take this tour.
Do not wait to purchase tickets on the day you are touring because your chances of getting a ticket are slim. You may buy tickets at Ticketmaster (312-902-1500 or online), the Chicago ArchiCenter at 224 Michigan, Chicago Water Works Visitor Center at Pearson St. and Michigan Ave.
Seat location is based on "first come, first serve" so we made sure that we were there about 20 minutes in advance. We wanted to take photographs; thus, we made sure to be outside rather than inside. A docent who is trained will be your host. You will see more than 50 historic and architecturally significant sites on this wonderful tour.
As the Chicago Architecture Foundation literature states, "The Chicago River is the heart of its city...and the buildings along the banks of the Chicago River reveal stories of the city's growth and its architectural legacy." That is not hype but rather the truth.
This tour takes about one and a half hours, the best one and a half hours you'll ever spend!
#1 Marina City Towers were designed in the mid 1960s and were, and still are, quite innovative. Each tower is 60 stories high and have smicircular balconies. Within the structures are residences, parking, a marina, restaurants, shops, and a hotel.
#2 From the Michigan Avenue Bridge, I took a photo of the Architectural Tour Boat and the people standing in line to board it.
#3 The Merchandise Mart, which was originally conveived as a distribution center for Marshall Field & Company is MASSIVE, taking up two city blocks. It is an Art Deco style with pyramidal towers, set-backs, and bands of chevrons. There are pedestals along the riverfron with busts of famous merchants. At one time, the Kennedy family owned this building, but sold it about 20 years ago.
#4 Our guide said that 333 West Wacker Drive is an example of CONTEXTUALISM with its curved and shimmering green-tinted facade that follows the color of the river and the bend in the river at this location.
#5 The famed Sears Tower [which was the world's tallest building for 24 years] is most famous in architectural circles for its introduction to the innovative engineering concept known as "bundled tube construction".
We took the $25 Chicago Sunset Tour with Wendella Boats, this tour set off at 19:45 and lasted for about 2 hours. We bought tickets about 3 hours before the start. The boat was not overloaded, with sufficient space to walk around for better views. The boat also has a bar.
The boat set off from it's dock at Michigan Avenue Bridge, on the corner of Michigan and Wacker, and headed down the river towards Lake Michigan. This route afforded fabulous views of the river's neighbouring skyscrapers, most notably the new Trump Tower which is set to become the highest building in Chicago. The boat then passed through the lock and past Navy Pier out into the lake.
Our boat settled in a few locations for a few mintues before touring up and adown the coast of Chicago, during the trip the beautifully lit cityscape of chicago glistened in the crimson azure of the sunset.
Our boat then proceeded through the marina and past the Buckingham fountain, before returning through the lock and back up the river. This time the boat carried on up as far as River Bend.
All the time there was commentary from a tour guide, providing some local history and information on the more spectacular buildings. On this occasion the tour guide spoke clearly and was easily audible through the boat's speakers, but I have colleagues who complained on other occasions about the tour guide speaking too fast for them to understand.
A great tour, with beautiful views, but you do need luck with the weather.
The Chicago River has had an interesting history since the arrival of 'civilization'! As Chicago grew in size, the volume of pollutants and sewage dumped into it mounted and was continuousy emptied into Lake Michigan by the river. The problem was, Chicago had tunnelled out beneath the lake for two miles in order to secure fresh drinking water - and there was a concern that this would soon be mixed with sewage from the river. By 1900, civil engineers had solved the problem by completing the largest earth moving project in North America to that time. They had dug a shipping and water control canal through the ridge of land not far west of the city that separated the Great Lakes basin from the Mississippi River basin - allowing them to divert the Chicago River away from Lake Michigan and instead end up in the Gulf of Mexico!
Since then, the river has been significantly cleaned up and is now a major tourist draw in Chicago. Along with its many bridges, such as the 1930-built Wabush Avenue Bridge undergoing testing (Intro and 2nd photos), there are tourist cruises on low-profile boats that don't require the bridges to be raised. The 3rd photo shows a few of these at rest in front of the famous old Wrigley and Tribune Tower buildings. Late-April was too early in the season for these tours so I was content to just take in the activity along both sides of the river. The glass and concrete building undergoing construction at the right side of the Intro photo is the new Trump International Hotel and Tower, scheduled for completion in 2009 as the second tallest building in Chicago.
Here is an excellent chance to see and learn about this fascinating city--its architecture, history, and anything else that may interest you. The most remarkable thing about this river is that engineers reversed its course. It used to flow into Lake Michigan, but now it goes in the opposite direction. Hard to believe, but that's one of the things I learned on this tour.
Whether you like the river, boats, or history of the buildings, this tour has something for everyone. You will find out about architects, their style, and the challenge they were faced with to build better, higher, faster, and grander. You will learn how they devised a structure and why. Did you know that the Boeing building actually is hanging in its frame and not mounted from the ground up? How about the story about the city of Chicago trying to reverse the flow of the river (yes, the river no longer flows into Lake Michigan)?
This tour was entertaining as well as informative, and our tour guide was happy to answer questions. If you are in the Windy City, make the time to add this tour to your schedule. You'll love it!
Tours run from June 2 through the end of September.
The Chicago River Architecture tour runs about 1 hour and costs $19 per person for adults, $17 for seniors, and $10 for children. There is a daily schedule on their website so you can plan your trip. A word about morning tours - they often are filled with school groups on field trips. So try the afternoon!
Small, tower like museum telling the Chicago river story in pictures and plaques from the beginning of the 19th century.
It was quite interesting and educating.
Museum has 5 or so floors, each floor has 1 small room covered with posters and photos.
PRICE: $3 per person.
For the past 20 years I've been taking the Mercury Cruise Lines many different types of cruises. They are a family run business and we always get a dependable ride with a kind staff. They also run the Architecture Cruise on the beautiful, "Chicago's First Lady". Their location is the southeast corner of Michigan and Wacker. The Architecture Cruise is great for a detailed view of the Chicago River, but the smaller boats are fine for a ride on both the river and the lake and the captain does talk. The main difference is on the smaller Mercury boats that go on the river and lake, you can't walk around like you can on "Chicago's First Lady" for the architecture cruises. All of them have bathrooms....something that is very important to me!
Every Saturday before Saint Patrick's day, the city dyes the Chicago river an irish shade of green. People will line the bridges in anticipation of the boats unloading their dye in the river. The dye is also funtional as I am told it kills off certain algea and bacteria. Come early as the good spots fill up quickly. The dyeing starts at 10:45 a.m.
If you're here during the warm weather, I'd recommend a river cruise up the Chicago River. Chicago has some of the prettiest architecture of any city in the US, and nowhere is that more apparent than along the Chicago River. Many ships leave from Navy Pier and can be booked day of. It's a beautiful sight at any time, but my personal favorite is the view at night when colored lights are used to highlight the exterior of the buildings in shades of blue and purple.
Looking for another option? Try it during the day shortly after St. Patrick's Day. You will never see a river so green. (It's dyed green March 17th in honor of Mayor Daley's Irish heritage)
Wendella Boats have been operating tours on the Chicago River and the harbor area since 1935. They offer two different tours. One tour covers the River and concentrates on Architecure and the other covers park of the River with a lap around the harbor (including passing through the lock on the Chicago River into Lake Michigan.) Both are priced at $20 for adults ($18 for seniors $10 for children.) Tours start every 30-45 minutes, I hopped on the next boat.
Chicago was my favourite place in America. I definitely plan to go back some day. You have to take a walk around this gorgeous city. Whilst walking around we came across the Chicago River – just look how beautiful it is and how well it compliments the landscape.
Spend some time along the river where the space opens up and you can get a perspective of the towering buildings on either side. Probably the most interesting building is the Chicago Tribune which is more "Empire State Bldg", if you will. However there are many architectural details to be observed here. I would have enjoyed a boat ride, but it was still pretty cold when we visited. Yes, that is me standing there with long brown hair. Little different from my home page pic. The years do tick past us.
If your affriad of boats, dont worry, they will only tell you about one of the worse boat disasters in history while you are leaving the dock. With that aside, if there is one tour you have to do while in Chicago, this is it! Well this and the double deckor bus tour, but lets just stick to this one first.
I found this tour to be entertaining and very interesting. You will be able to impress your friends with fun facts about Chicago after this tour, like "did you know that Chicagos river water has been upgraded from toxic, to polluted" Its true! Learn all the facts and history of the city, and find out the truth about the famous Chicago fire. Did the cow really start it? Take the boat tour to solve the mistery..
The Chicago River Runs right through the center of town, so what better way to see it other than by a kayaking tour. Sure you could take one of those boring boat tours like the one Julia Roberts rode with Dermot Mulroney in "My Best Friends Wedding". You can sit on the top deck and listen to the tour guide over the speaker, just hope that Dave Mathews isn't in town that day (e-mail me if you don't know the story).
I preferred to take my out of town friends on a 2-3 hour kayak tour of Chicago, run by Charlie Portis' company Wateriders. We learned about architecture and gangsters, it was great! Our guide also took us to the site of the S.S. Eastland Tragedy which caused the most deaths from 1 accident in Chicago's history (in 1915, 844 people died in the Chicago River in minutes). Needless to say the surrounding buildings in the area are supposedly haunted by their ghosts.
We learned about the great architects that designed the buildings that towered around us, and about the gangsters and speakeasy's that lived below them. We learned about many sordid characters along with Mickey Finn, who invented a drink to knock out unsuspecting strangers that would later wake up naked and robbed in the alley. By the way, the Chicago Library now occupies the site.
Prices are $55 per person. All the equipment and drinking water are provided.
Times for tours are 10 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through autumn , but call for exact times & reservations.

Devin O'Leary called The Returned (Les Revenants) "the best horror on TV in 2013" and he's dying for season two. All eight episodes appeared in the streamoverse a couple of weeks ago, quietly and without fanfare, much like Camille's return from the dead in episode one.

Thoese strings aer either commands pertinent to the instrument (control) or responses from the instrument (response).
When those statements are executed in a python interpreter interactively (at >>>), I get what I expect and the results are good and correct. However, when I execute the script, either within the interpreter or from a shell, I don't get what I want. The statements in the script is the same as what I use in the interactive interpreter.
Why do I get the strange behavior and how can I change the script to make it to behave like in interactive interpreter?
def read(comport):
wrt_str=b'movt 3000'+b'\r\n'
rsp_str=comport.readlines() #########1
The problem is with the lines above with #######. In interactive mode, there is about 1 second delay at #1, and 9 seonds delay at #2. I get correct responses there. However, if I execute the script above, there is no delay at all and I get incorrect results (garbage). I set the read timeout to 0 in comm port set up, as
So the comport should be in blocking mode if it waits for the end of line or end of file.
Update (Aug 19, 2011)
I have an update to the original post I made a few days ago. I think I know what the problem is and want to know if anyone has a solution:
After putting "print" and "time.sleep(delay)" after every statement, I found when the script is running, it appears going around the pyserial statement, such as "comport.write(..)" or "comport.readlines(...)" while the pyserial command is executing (appearing as waiting and busying doing some thing, you know serial port is slow). So for example, when I exec all statements in a python interactive shell, I am not able to type and run a new statement if the previous one is not returned. Let's ay, if comport.readlines() is not returning, I can't type and run the next comport.write(...) statemtn. However, in a script that is running, if the comport.readlines() is busy reading, the next statement is running, if the next statement happens to be a comport.write() which will abort the reading.
Is there any way to force the python script to behave like running exactly sequentially?
