LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ Researchers at the University of Kansas go before a national research group with a new report ranking distracted driving high among today's transportation issues.
Bob Honea, director of the Transportation Research Institute at Kansas University, will discuss the report Tuesday at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences Transportation Research Board.
Honea says ``It's a no-brainer'' that sending and receiving text messages while driving is a bad idea. But institute officials hopem to help lay the groundwork for doing something about it, starting with gathering data.
He says law-enforcement personnel should investigate -- or at least keep track of -- instances when cell phones and other wireless devices are in use during accidents.

25 U.S. Code § 373 - Disposal by will of allotments held under trust
Any persons of the age of eighteen years or older having any right, title, or interest in any allotment held under trust or other patent containing restrictions on alienation or individual Indian moneys or other property held in trust by the United States shall have the right prior to the expiration of the trust or restrictive period, and before the issuance of a fee simple patent or the removal of restrictions, to dispose of such property by will, in accordance with the Indian Land Consolidation Act [25 U.S.C. 2201 et seq.] or a tribal probate code approved under such Act and regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior:
The Indian Land Consolidation Act, referred to in text, is title II of Pub. L. 97–459, Jan. 12, 1983, 96 Stat. 2517, as amended, which is classified generally to chapter 24 (§ 2201 et seq.) of this title.

1987—Pub. L. 100–153 which directed amendment of this section by substituting "the age of eighteen years or older" for "the age of twenty-one years, or over" was executed by substituting the new language for "the age of twenty-one years" as the probable intent of Congress because the words ", or over" did not appear.

Remembering Whitney: My Story of Love, Loss, and the Night the Music Stopped (Large Print / Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Contemplative and private, Cissy Houston has said little publicly about her daughter Whitney′s tragically early death. She hasn′t spoken to the press about the funny, warm memories from her daughter′s childhood or the lovely, quiet moments the two shared as Whitney became a woman-much less the trying and troubling times when Cissy and her family tried to save the superstar′s life while it careened out of control.
Now, for the first time, Cissy will tell the unabridged and unbelievable story of her daughter′s life as well as her own, addressing Whitney′s brightest and darkest moments while helping fans around the world understand the complexities of this extraordinary star who died much too young. A legendary gospel singer in her own right, Cissy shows how the lessons from her musical journey helped to shape Whitney′s career-from teaching Whitney to use her voice, to witnessing Whitney′s first experiences in the music business, to keeping her daughter level-headed throughout her meteoric rise to fame.
However, Cissy does not shy away from the difficult realities of her daughter′s life.
Offering an insider′s perspective unlike any other, she sets the record straight about Whitney, exploring both her turbulent marriage and her misunderstood struggles with drug abuse with a candor, honesty, and respect that have long been missing accounts of Whitney′s life. Ultimately, Cissy goes behind the tabloid headlines to show the true, human side of this strong, successful, yet flawed musical icon, capturing the dramatic depths and soaring range of an extraordinary woman, along with the pain and heartbreak of a grieving mother as she struggles with an impossible loss.

North-South Border Dispute Can Ignite War, Sudan Aide Says
A disputed 20 percent of Sudan's north-south border could ignite a new war in the country, a top aide to President Umar al-Bashir said in an interview with Al Jazeera.
A new war "could be worse" than the two-decade civil war that ended in 2005, presidential assistant Nafie Ali Nafie told the Qatar-based television channel today. The Sudan People's Liberation Movement, the former rebel movement that now governs the southern region, is now "better armed," Nafie said.
Bashir's National Congress Party says the border must be agreed on before a referendum in which Southern Sudanese will decide whether their semi-autonomous region will split from Sudan and form an independent country. Southern Sudan accounts for as much as 80 percent of the country's 490,000 barrels of daily oil production.
The referendum, scheduled for Jan. 9, is a major component of the 2005 peace agreement that ended two-decade war between the south, where Christianity and traditional beliefs dominate, and the Muslim north. About 2 million people died in the conflict and more than 4 million were displaced.
Bashir's party wants a "political agreement" with the Sudan People's Liberation Movement on the entire border between the two regions, as well as on how they will share foreign debt obligations and oil income, before the vote is held, Rabie Abdel Ati, a senior National Congress Party official, said in October.
SPLM officials have threatened to organize their own referendum if the north tries to delay the poll, saying there's no need to agree on the border beforehand because Southern Sudanese across the country will be eligible to vote, not just those living in the south.
Sudan is sub-Saharan Africa's third-largest producer, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy.

The Chelsea winger wants to reach the point where he can score in every game, but believes that he is already on his way, putting himself "up there with some of the best."Chelsea forward Eden Hazard wants to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as one of the world's leading players.
The La Liga stars have won the last six Ballons d'Or between them and Hazard is keen to replicate their incredible attacking statistics.
"These players are the best on the planet," he told the BBC's 'Football Focus'. "They score one, two, three goals every game. It's something you've got to aim for - to go up to get to their level. They are obviously top, top level players."
The 23-year-old believes that he is already on his way to the upper echelons of the game but accepts that catching the Real Madrid and Barcelona stars at the pinnacle will require plenty more work.
"I'd probably say I'm up there with some of the best but we've got to realize there are lots and lots of good players in the world," Hazard continued. "To get to their level, it's a case of working hard every day in training, enjoying myself and expressing myself as much as I can on the football field.
"What I would like to do is shed the adjective 'young' because that would mean I've crossed that barrier and gone one step further in my career."

I always seem to have a headache after reading a John Fay article.
Dunn's made great progress
But he's not done yet
FORT MYERS, Fla. - When Adam Dunn came up in the third inning of the Reds' game with Boston Saturday, there was a runner at second base.
Jonathan Papelbon had gotten Josh Hamilton and Brandon Phillips to take called third strikes. Papelbon had gotten Dunn on strikes in his first at-bat.
A strikeout waiting to happen, right?
No. Dunn didn't try to do too much, as they say. He simply stroked a line drive up the middle to get the run home.
Brook Jacoby had to be smiling in the dugout.
"He's using the whole field," said Jacoby, the Reds' new hitting coach. "You can't pitch him in a particular area and get him out."
Dunn's having a great spring. He's hitting .448 with two home runs and seven RBI.
"It's good to start off good," Dunn said. "But my goal is to be comfortable in stuff we're doing and get my body ready for the season."
Jacoby and Dunn go back to when Dunn was a minor-leaguer and Jacoby was a roving instructor.
"The good thing with him is I've worked with him before and I like him a lot," Dunn said. "It's a lot easier when you trust somebody that much."
The fact Dunn and Jacoby had a history probably helped Jacoby get the job with the Reds.
"You can have the greatest coach in the world, but if the player doesn't believe in what he's teaching, a lot of times it doesn't do any good," Reds manager Jerry Narron said.
Dunn's average has gone from .266 to .247 to .234 the last three years. Reversing the trend is key to the Reds' offensive success this season.
Jacoby made adjustments to keep Dunn's head more still at the plate.
"With those strikeout numbers, you have to wonder how well he was seeing the ball," Jacoby said.
Dunn hasn't exactly eliminated strikeouts. He's struck out nine times in 29 at-bats this spring. That's a 170-or-so strikeout pace.
But some of what Jacoby is stressing is still relatively new.
"There's a couple of little things that I'm not really comfortable with," Dunn said. "I don't know if it's that I'm uncomfortable. But I have to think about more of them than I'd like to, rather than muscle memory taking over and being able to do it without thinking about it."

Well, I made it home safe and sound. Still trying to adjust to the 14 hour time difference from Korea. I am just enjoying spending time w/ my family after being away for a year, and we are now getting ready for our cruise next week. I also have a very long "Honey Do" list that I am working on. Went out Monday to look at the S&W M&P and really liked it (was smaller than I expected, which was good). Just looking around for the best price right now. The cheapest so far it $525. I also just got the directions to the closest Sheriffs office to get my fingerprints for my CCW. Will probably go today or tomorrow to do that.

Sure, WPEC works, and well from what I can see, but dealing with it is irksome. It lacks a certain intuitiveness and to me the fact that you have to pay $47 bucks for the presentation options in Gold Cart, though they throw in some payment gateways as well, just seems weak.
On the topic of Payment options, WPEC does not offer a PCI compliant Payment Gateway, unless you count PayPal Standard. Their Mijireh plugin costs $69 bucks for what is a "Free" Service (Mijireh takes a cut of your sale as payment). WooCommerce packages both PayPal Standard AND Mijireh in it's plugin.
There are just to many little annoyances in WPEC that seem to not be an issue with WooCommerce, not to say WooCommerce is perfect. However, it does seem that WPEC users are very much left to their own devices for things that would not be an issue in a more polished plugin.
It seems that if you're a coder, WPEC may be for you. If you like getting down with PHP, CSS, and whatever else go for it. I'm sure you will find a way to work out the kinks. If you want something that works and is more polished, look elsewhere.

NYC Jobless Rate Drops for Seventh Month to 9.4%
New York City's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell for the seventh-straight month to 9.4 percent in July as financial companies continued a growth trend, the state Labor Department reported.
The state's jobless rate remained unchanged at 8.2 percent, as the number of unemployed residents dropped by 1,500, to 796,700, the department said today. Although the national rate in July remained steady at June's 9.5 percent, initial claims for jobless benefits rose by 12,000 to 500,000 nationwide last week, according to the U.S. Labor Department. That exceeded the estimates of all 42 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
"We have a long way to go to fully restore our economic health, but clearly we are moving in the right direction," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement. The city, he said, would continue "to make smart investments that help create jobs today and over the long run."
The city's 1.1 percent nongovernment growth rate for the year ending in July topped the state's 0.5 percent gain and the nation's less-than 0.1 percent increase. That's partly because Wall Street, which dominates the city's economy, suffered less and recovered faster than manufacturing, said James Brown, a state Labor Department economist. He said financial services firms have expanded employment in four of the past five months.
Business-Based Gains
"More of our jobs are tied to corporate spending -- with a large professional and business-services sector -- which benefits from the sharp recovery in corporate profits, and our leisure and hospitality sector has held up remarkably well," Brown said.
Bloomberg cited an article in the current issue of Foreign Policy magazine, which teamed up with A.T. Kearney, a consulting company, ranking New York at the top of a survey of world cities' influence on global markets, culture, and innovation as a measure of the city's economic potential.
"Chief among our strengths that are driving New York City's recovery is the talent of our workforce," the mayor said. "As a city that prides itself on welcoming the best and brightest from across the globe to do business here, and on encouraging innovative new ideas in every field, this recognition affirms New York City's leading role."
The mayor is founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP.
Growing Labor Force
The city's unemployment rate declined from 9.5 percent in June even as its labor force, the portion of the population active in the job market, increased from January, Brown said. The labor force rose to 3.99 million last month from about 3.97 million in January, when the jobless rate was 10.4 percent.
"It's a fairly strong picture, with above-average gains or below average losses in almost every sector," Brown said.
Financial services experienced a 4,000-job increase, including 1,200 hired by securities firms, to total 433,100, the state said. In the past 12 months, industry employment fell by 1,400 positions, or 0.3 percent, from July 2009.
Professional and business-service employers added 5,000 jobs -- including office temps, janitors, security guards, accountants, lawyers and secretaries -- to 575,700 in July, gaining 2,300 positions in the past year. Leisure and hospitality employment continued a 12-month gaining trend, increasing by 1,700 to 323,100, an increase of 13,000 for the year, the department said.
The only industry to show weaker-than-average results for the month was transportation, warehousing and utilities, the state reported.

Sinking in the Caribbean Basin
If someone asked about a "Caribbean Basin" 20 years ago, you might have referred him to a geographer or to a West Indian plumber. When President Ronald Reagan announced his Caribbean Basin Initiative on February 24, 1982, however, all the questions concerned the initiative. Apparently, everyone now knows where the Caribbean Basin is; indeed, there is a growing impression that we are sinking in it.
Deepening U.S. involvement in the conflict in El Salvador and the possibility that the conflict might spread are doubtless the principal reasons why Americans are beginning to get that sinking feeling about the Caribbean Basin, but hardly the only ones. Boatloads of Haitians and Cubans, Mexican pride and a porous border, a formidable narcotics traffic which eludes the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, Nicaragua defiant, Cuba undaunted, Grenada oblivious-these are some other examples of why U.S. ability to influence, let alone control, developments in the region seems to be slipping.
Many of the problems facing the United States and other nations in the region precede the Reagan Administration and in part explain the initial appeal of the Administration's tough talk and aggressive posture. However, while the Reagan Administration's language is the most belligerent of any Administration since the United States traded in its big stick for dollar diplomacy, Washington still hasn't plugged the holes in the ship of state. It hasn't gained control of its southern border; it still hasn't cowed Castro or preserved pluralism for Nicaragua or saved El Salvador. Needless to say, this

Thanks, Yoda.
Both Six Arms and Honey Hole had no Gardenburgers last week. This might explain that. Weird that it isn't in the news.
So, the outbreak means that real hamburgers are safer than veggie burgers?
Is that why the veggie burger I got from Scooter's the other day was this icky breaded bullshit?
That's really weird. A little head's up would've been nice.
Gardenburgers should be illegal.
Thanks... I thought I was going crazy in the grocery store this weekend ("I could have sworn the gardenburgers were stocked in this aisle..."). Normally the store puts up a note when something like that happens. Weird.
A conspiracy for sure.
They realized the formula wasn't converting enough vegetarians to eat meat so they pulled them off the shelves to suck out more of the moisture and fat. It's the same people behind "tofurky," which is really made by a wing of the American Beef and Poultry Council.
There is no truth to the rumor that beef from the USA is still banned in South Korea and Japan.
Except for the fact that it is.
Burgerville was the first to notice, apparently.
It wasn't a health safety issue, but a product quality issue.
So they say.
The withdrawal is voluntary and is not a recall per se. But that hasn't stopped major supermarkets and smaller restaurant chains from pulling it.
Oh man, I was in the Ballard Fred Meyer the other day and saw a notice posted inside the freezer-door which provided a reasonable explanation of the shortage, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was.
I like Morningstar Farms better, have you had their black bean burger or or the tomato basil pizza burgers?
You can get pretty much the same thing by breaking off slices of those pressed-sawdust fire logs they sell in the grocery stores.
boxofbirds and fnarf: yes, that explains and sums it up, respectively. if you can't stand to eat meat, why not just eat avo and tomato on toast? but gardenburgers!? why, oh god why!?
Their "Flame-grilled" soy burgers used to be, um, the bomb. But now they suck. Must be Kellogg's buying 'em. All fall to The Man.
"Must be Kellogg's buying 'em."
Ding, ding!
@9 - I would like to correct my prior statement - at the time I posted it I did not know that South Korea's government had just agreed to allow US beef into their country, even if a few hundred thousand of their citizens were protesting against it.
Probably trying to protect their dog meat industry ... or maybe the "true" source of gardenburgers?
A note in the "health food" section of my local department store informed me that (unfortunately) there were "issues" with the "supply chain" for Gardenburger and the store wasn't sure when they would be available again. They also said they had no detailed information as to why. For further information we were to contact customer service.
Damn, I guess I'll just have to start gnawing on big hunks of raw beef now, since Gardenburgers are the ONLY vegitarian thing out there...
a few commenters have hit the nail on the head (fnarf and boxofbirds, I'm looking at you).
If being a vegetarian is so great then why do you fucking fake hamburgers to trick your body into believing that it is eating meat?
maybe because meat is fucking delicious and necessary for a truly healthy existence (in moderation and non-factory farmed, of course) give it up vegetarians.. you know you want some BACON!! mmmmmmmmmm
If being a vegetarian is so great then why do you fucking EAT fake hamburgers to trick your body into believing that it is eating meat?
etc etc =)
Hmmmph. I'm a vegetarian, and even I hate Gardenburgers!
garden burgers dont taste like meat. they arent supposed to taste like meat. people dont eat them because they want something that tastes like meat.
Silly people. Gardenburgers (not any 'ol veggie burger) are yummy and I am a total meat eater. As to them missing - yup, the last two boxes I bought were odd - the burgers a little darker than normal and tasting slightly different - no problem to eat though. They were gone from the stores long before this tomato retardedness. Bummer bought by Kellog. Ack.

Rowley, who was the WRL's first full-time chairman before becoming general manager in 2011, is to quit his post this week for personal and business reasons.
He said: "I am very saddened to be leaving the Wales Rugby League. I am passionate about rugby league and its development in Wales and, in that respect, I have dedicated 10 years to the cause. However, due to personal and business reasons, I now have to move on."
WRL chairman Brian Juliff said: "Mark has been an integral part of Wales Rugby League that has seen us achieve many great things, including our senior team playing in the Four Nations against England, Australia and New Zealand in 2011 that helped us rise up the global rankings to sixth in the world.
"It is a sad day to see somebody who has rugby league in his heart having to move on to other things."

CSharp Bits is a tutorial-based digest that explains the C# programming language. It evolves, covering prerequisite topics and is currently broad in coverage rather than getting deep into a specific topic. That will come after a basis has been established. I issue the topics daily (:p), and mainly cover one topic in each issue, so readers can fit it in their daily routine. I email these topics internally at Microsoft and have been asked to blog the digests externally to reach out to the user community.
All code examples are meant to demonstrate the topic only. It is neither shippable nor secure code by any stretch of the imagination. An archive of the topics I submitted internally within Microsoft before I started blogging these out is not currently available externally.
The is Operator
You can handle incompatible types by catching InvalidCastException, but there are other ways of handling this problem, such as the is operator. The is operator allows you to determine whether an object reference can be converted into a reference to a given class.
You can use the is operator to test the type of the object without performing a conversion. The is operator returns true if the value on the left is not null and a cast to the class on the right, if performed, would complete without throwing an exception. Otherwise, is returns false.
if (a is Bird) b = (Bird) a; // Safe, because "a is Bird" returns trueelse Console.WriteLine("Not a Bird");
You can think of the relationship between inherited classes as an "is a kind of" relationship, as in "A bird is a kind of animal." References in the variable a must be references to Animal objects, and b is a kind of animal. Of course, b is a bird as well, but a bird is just a special case of an animal. The converse is not true. An animal is not a type of bird. Some animals are birds, but it is not true that all animals are birds.
So the following expression can be read as "If a is a kind of bird," or "If a is a bird or a type derived from bird."
if (a is Bird)
The as Operator
You can use the as operator to perform conversions between types without raising an exception.
The following statement performs a conversion of the reference in a to a value that references a class of type Bird, and the runtime automatically checks to ensure that the conversion is acceptable.
b = a as Bird;
Error Handling
The as operator differs from the cast operator in the way it handles errors. If, in the preceding example, the reference in variable a cannot be converted in a reference to an object of class Bird, the value null is stored in b, and the program continues. The as operator never raises an exception.
You can rewrite the previous code as follows to display an error message if the conversion cannot be performed:
Bird b = a as Bird;if (b == null) Console.WriteLine("Not a bird");
Although as never raises an exception, any attempt to access through the converted value will raise a NullReferenceException if it is null. Therefore, you should always check the return value from as.

McKenna Has Time, But Not Statistics On His Side In Wash. Governor's Race
There are still three-quarters of a million ballots to be counted in Washington's too-close-to-call governor's race. Democrat Jay Inslee holds a narrow lead over Republican Rob McKenna.
But McKenna isn't conceding. To overtake Inslee, McKenna would need to gain a significant advantage among voters who waited to cast their ballots. C With so many ballots yet uncounted, there's no reason to call the race right now.
McKenna isn't getting any tremendous pressure from either side. Democrat Jay Inslee is acting like the Governor-elect, but hasn't declared victory and McKenna's in a position where he has a couple of days here to kind of wait to see how things shake out.
A disproportionate number of the outstanding ballots are in heavily Democratic King County. McKenna is trending better there. But Inslee is still winning more than 60 percent of the vote in that key county.

Michael Vick Hits Walk-off Home Run, Takes Scenic Route on Bases
Michael Vick is expected to be an important piece to the New York Jets' offense once the NFL season kicks off, but he apparently dabbles in slow-pitch softball, as well.
It was all a part of "Mike Vick Weekend," which was put on by the Team Vick Foundation. The festivities started June 13 with a black tie gala and silent action. The weekend-long event concluded June 15 with the second day of his football minicamp and a celebrity golf tournament. Several NFL stars came out to help, including LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Roddy White.
After the first session of minicamp Saturday, a celebrity softball game was next on the schedule. Vick walked to the plate with the game on the line and a runner on first. He launched a walk-off home run, which understandably excited the crowd a great deal. He took a few steps toward first base while admiring his shot, only to then make an interesting turn in the opposite direction:
Vick doesn't only start running toward third base, he doesn't even touch third before making a turn for second. Does that huge hit even count?
Considering his foundation put on the entire weekend of events, I'm sure they let it slide and gave Vick's team the victory. Either way, this is solid proof he should stick to the gridiron.

New Zealand have made a disastrous start to the first test
against South Africa, being bowled out for 45 in the first
session in Cape Town.
Having won the toss and decided to bat, the Black Caps were
dismantled by Vernon Philander and his seam-bowling
compatriots to be dismissed in the 20th over for their
third-lowest total in tests.
Philander bowled an immaculate line and length to at one
stage have five wickets in five overs and figures of 5 for 5.
He finished with 5-7.
Morne Morkel took three wickets and Dale Steyn chimed in with
two, the first of which, Doug Bracewell, was his 300th in
Kane Williamson (13) was the only New Zealand batsman to make
double figures.
New Zealand's lowest test score is the 26 they made against
England in Auckland in 1955. They made 42 against Australia
in Wellington in 1946.

"Wales' Crowning Glory......." Pembrokeshire Coast National Park by nickandchris
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Travel Guide: 48 reviews and 181 photos
Pembrokeshire is one of our favourite haunts in Wales. The spectacular coastline takes some beating - it's just so beautiful.
It is Britain's only truly coastal national park, practically all of the 170 miles of Pembrokeshire's coast are in the Park. The Atlantic Ocean washes three sides of the peninsula and at Milford Haven the estuary splits into the Pembroke, Carew, Creswell and Eastern and western Cleddau rivers.
Tourism and agriculture, as well as a little fishing, are the main industries.
My first visits to Pembrokeshire were as a child on family holidays. I know my parents loved the coastline, comparing it with Cornwall ,where we had spent many a holiday. South Wales was a little closer to us so the decision was made to give Pembrokeshire a try. After that initial holiday, I don't think we returned to Cornwall ever again, as a family.
The magnificent cliffs, spectacular surfing beaches, pretty little coves and blue, blue sea were all part and parcel of a holiday in Pembrokeshire.
When Michael was born, we decided to have a holiday in Pembrokeshire, fond memories of my family holidays flashing through my head.
Michael was only 3 months old so instead of camping in our small ridge tent, we borrowed my parents trailer tent. This was a huge success as it kept us all off the ground and gave us more space.
Every day we would pack a picnic and set off touring the area. Nick also kn ew parts of Pembrokeshire from his family holidays but luckily he knew of places I didn't and vice-versa. Basing ourselves just north of Haverfordwest we discovered not only the tourist side of Pembrokeshire but also the interesting workaday towns like Milford Haven and Neyland.
After two weeks, we reckoned we knew this part of the world pretty well.
1998 and a year after we had made our overland journey to Greece. Nick was diagnosed with oral cancer and was awaiting major surgery. Snap decision, "Let's go on holiday to Pembrokeshire." Which we did and tried to enjoy ourselves and forget our problems for a while.
This time, the four of us were in the motorhome so access to some beaches was a little tricky, but basically, we knew where we wanted to go and what to see.We stayed on CL's so it was a cheap holiday. The weather was pretty good so we mixed visits to the beach with some fishing, walking and sightseeing.
I know Nick and I were reluctant to return home back to reality and hospital after this memorable last minute holiday.
There are so many beaches to discover, fantastic coastal walking, lighthouses, castles, harbours - a bit of everything. The only disappointment, as far as I'm concerned, is that the hinterland of Pembrokeshire is not overly exciting, there being no mountains!!!
I think we will return in the not too distant future.
- Pros:The most beautiful coastline......
- Cons:Relatively boring landscape away from the coast.......
- In a nutshell:Just spectacular......

I came to thank you for rating my Pals page,. Then I saw these pages of my favorite places in Wales.
I have been here and found it to be deserted, and the castle pretty impressive. Guess it is about the time you go. Not quite Pembroke Castle though!!!
A theme for liking to get away from the crowds emerges, we found Manobier pleasant out of season, compared to Algarve in summer where all beaches are crowded I think it would be great. Great descriptions that capture things to do and avoid
Amazing pages! Fantastic pictures. The kind of place I'd love to visit.
The sort of pages I joined VT to read. Reek of class
Fantastic photos....and what a beautiful part of the world!!
What a beautiful part of Wales! Marloes Sands looks absolutely stunning!!
A lot in common, I agree. Love your Scotland and Pembrokeshire pages, beautiful places both. Feeling like packing up the tent and taking off!! Thanks, Tissie
I didn't realise you'd been here! One of my earliest memories is of Marloes. And another beach Tresaith, which I went back to for first time last November in worst weather possible!
Great page! :-) I am looking forward to my trip to Pembrokeshire in May. Thanks. :-)

Top 8 Gay Target Products
Target Corp. has found itself in hot water over its $150,000 donation to MN Forward, which supports anti-gay gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer. The company's head honcho, Gregg Steinhafel, has a long history of supporting conservative causes, including Crazy Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Yet Steinhafel was more than happy to line his pockets marketing products to the GLBT community. Here's 8 items currently on-sale at Target that will likely gather dust on the shelves during the boycott.
8. The Gay Happening CD series
This is a pretty standard dance collection, except for the man-meat flagrantly on display on the cover. One wonders how many times Gregg Steinhafel has stared into the dark recesses of these six-pack abs while listening to "I want your ******" by Jipsta.
7. How the Homosexuals Saved Civilization
Subtitled "the true and heroic story of how gay men shaped the modern world," this is one book that Gregg Steinhafel would surely judge by its cover. Read it and you'll understand the sizable contribution gays make to straight culture--from language to fashion to restaurants.
You won't find this movie in Gregg Steinhafel's VCR, even if it is for sale in his stores. This documentary follows Log Cabin Republicans during the 2004 presidential campaign. Of course, there's also a lot of closeted gay conservatives.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with homosexuals. We just think Anderson Cooper is an excellent anchor.
4. Guide to Gay and Lesbian Weddings
Uh-Oh! Michele Bachmann and her Tea-Bagger Caucus are not going to like this one! Not only does this book advocate allowing gays and lesbians to marry--it actually wants to help them have a fabulous wedding!
Among the top-selling gay products at Target are the five seasons of this revolutionary series. Perhaps it was able to sneak onto Target's shelves because Gregg Steinhafel didn't understand the double entendre in the title?
2. The L Word
Coming in right behind Queer as Folk in gay-themed sales at Target Corp., this series is the other side of the coin: the experience of lesbians. Gregg Steinhafel may find the idea titillating, but real life isn't nearly as sexy--especially when major corporations market to you while working behind the scenes to take away your rights.
1. Inside Him
Yes, Target sells gay erotica.

SEAT Alhambra review
The seven-seat SEAT Alhambra offers strong value, and three time winner of MPV of the year
The SEAT Alhambra is mechanically identical to the Volkswagen Sharan but it is better value for money and just as practical. It's a well equipped, well built people carrier that has won the Auto Express MPV of the year three times. A recent facelift has brought updated styling and improved running costs, too.
As well as being impressively efficient, this MPV shines when it comes to practicality; the large dimensions mean there's plenty of legroom, flexible seating and a decent boot that all work together to keep the family happy. But the SEAT Alhambra isn't just about practicality – it also drives remarkably well without any of the compromise you'd expect from a seven-seater. The extras take driving the SEAT Alhambra to the next level, too, such as the Park Assist system that will reverse park into parallel spaces or bays for you.
Named after a sprawling historic monument in Granada, Spain, it's no surprise that SEAT's Alhambra offers palatial accommodation.
The seven-seat full-size MPV is a sister-car of the Volkswagen Sharan, and has been built in Portugal since 1996 when the Ford Galaxy model was also part of a joint-venture between the brands.
Ford withdrew from the project and the Galaxy went its own way in 2006, well before the latest generation Sharan/Alhambra was introduced in 2010.
The two MPV sisters are now built on the VW Group's A5 platform, which is closely related to the Passat. It's significantly bigger all round than its predecessor, and now comes with a choice of efficient and smooth four-cylinder petrol or diesel engines.
If economy is your priority, the TDi Ecomotive model won't disappoint. It's the cheapest diesel option, and the addition of start-stop and a Brake Energy Regeneration System produces lower CO2 emissions and economy of 56.5mpg on the combined cycle. The other engines offer good efficiency too.
Image 2 of 8
Four trim levels are available in all, kicking off with the S entry-model, followed by the SE, the Connect, the SE Lux and the FR line.
Standard S features include 16 inch alloys, Touchscreen infotainment with Bluetooth, three-zone climate control, ESC and emergency brake assist. The SE adds 17 inch alloys, tinted windows and roof rails, cruise control, auto wipers and auto headlamps, among other luxuries.
The Connect adds MirrorLink to pair your Smartphone and various cosmetic upgrades, while the SE LUX brings power sliding doors (an unending source of entertainment for your kids), a panoramic sliding sunroof, satellite navigation, a rear-view camera, leather upholstery and a host of other luxury upgrades. The FR has more of a sporty theme, with special 18 inch alloy wheels, and Alcantara interior with sporty red stitching highlights – and a limited slip differential with the most powerful engine option.
Engines, performance and drive
While the SEAT Alhambra is not quite as good to drive as its main rival, the Ford S-MAX, it's still an appealing prospect. The suspension can feel a little firm on very rough roads, but it's a capable cruiser, while accurate steering helps make the car feel a bit smaller than it actually is. Six-speed manual and DSG automatic gearboxes are available, and the latter improves both performance and fuel economy.
Before the facelift SEAT offered only one engine in the Alhambra, a 2.0-litre diesel, but now a downsized 148bhp 1.4-litre turbo has also been made available. We'd suggest you stick with the diesel - ideally the higher-powered 182bhp version over the 148bhp model as the extra power and torque is certainly helpful when transporting seven people and all of their luggage around.
SEAT also introduced adaptive dampers with the facelifted model, but as a £935 option its worth saving your cash as they don't offer any real benefit in terms of driving experience.
Image 4 of 8
The rest of the Alhambra's driving experience is surprisingly car-like. The SEAT feels like it carries its weight low down, and the firm suspension set-up, grippy chassis, positive steering and XDS electronic diff control (standard on SE Lux models) combine to deliver agile handling. Sure, it's no sports car, and body roll is an issue in corners, but the Alhambra is well controlled, and once you're in a bend, it feels stable and isn't unsettled by mid-corner bumps.
This sharp cornering ability doesn't come at the expense of comfort, either. While the SEAT's ride is definitely on the firm side, it's still pretty relaxing to drive, and passengers will feel comfortable, too, with plenty of space and not much in the way of noise.
The new petrol engine in the Alhambra line-up is a four-cylinder 1.4 litre unit offering 0-62mph in 9.9 seconds and a 126mph top speed with the manual gearbox option. Opt for the DSG dual-clutch auto and you'll lose a tenth on the acceleration time, and maximum speed drops to 124mph.
The junior 148bhp version of the 2.0-litre diesel has very similar figures – 10.2 seconds for the 0-62mpg sprint and 126mph, or 10.4 seconds and 124mph with DSG.
Conversely the more powerful 182bhp 2.0-litre TDI does 0-62mph in 9.4 seconds and 133mph with manual gears, but is faster with the DSG set-up – recording an 8.9 second sprint and 135mph.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
It may be the cheaper than the VW Sharan, but that doesn't mean it's the cheapest MPV out there. Rivals like the Vauxhall Zafira may cost less, but none can quite match the Alhambra's practicality or economy. The entry-level SEAT Alhambra price starts at £25,340 on the road – that's the price tag for the S trim with the 2.0-litre TDI Ecomotive engine.
That's also the most efficient version too, returning over 57mpg and emitting 130g/km of CO2. However, all diesel versions are capable of over 53mpg.
Image 6 of 8
Insurance Groups
Insuring an Alhambra won't cost too much as the 148bhp petrol and diesel models are both insurance group 18, while the most powerful 182bhp diesel is group 22. Ford Galaxy insurance ranges from group 16 to 26, while the Peugeot 508s are group 18 and 19.
The SEAT Alhambra is unexceptional when it comes to retained values. Predictions suggest you'll be lucky to keep much more than a third of the new price if you resell at three years/60,000 miles, but the more powerful and better-equipped diesels seem to be most highly valued in the used market.
Interior, design and technology
If there's any car that fits the MPV design template perfectly, it's the Alhambra. The one-box layout is as van-like as they come, and the car's overall shape is identical to that of the Volkswagen Sharan, with which it shares much.
However, the devil is in the detail, and while the SEAT won't win any beauty contests, the crisp lines and sharp details add interest to the Alhambra's shape. Up front, the straight-edged grille and headlights are a familiar SEAT design, and they're joined by a large lower grille in the bumper that's flanked by a pair of foglamp housings.
The slab sides are pretty plain, and unfortunately there's no hiding the runners for the sliding doors towards the back of the bodywork, but the large glass area is nicely proportioned with the body, while silver roof rails add style, too. At the rear, the huge tail-lights are split across the upright tailgate, while the vast rear glass area gives a good view out the back.
Climb aboard, and the large dashboard features the same logical layout and simple controls as you'll find across the SEAT range. In fact, it's identical to the VW Sharan, and build quality is on a par with its main rivals. There's a bit too much black plastic in the cabin, the optional 6.5-inch touchscreen can be to navigate and it looks pretty ordinary when compared to the distinctive Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, but everything works well and feels solid.
Leather trim is fitted as standard on SE Lux models, and you can also specify two-tone finish seats which add a bit of colour to proceedings. It also means the cabin is hard-wearing, plus extensive use of black plastic trim should withstand the rigours of family life.
Sat-Nav, stereo and infotainment
All Alhambra grades come with a 6.5 inch colour touchscreen, controlling an audio system that features an FM/AM radio, MP3 compatible CD player with USB, Bluetooth, voice recognition and 8 loudspeakers. You also get steering wheel controls for audio.
Optional equipment includes a nav system with rear view camera, which comes with an upgrade to DAB digital radio – all are standard on the SE Lux model.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
As you would expect of a full sized MPV, the Alhambra's greatest strength is its practicality. The car measures 2081mm wide, which helps make the cabin feel light and airy. There are seven seats, and you can fold the second and third rows completely flat. As an option, you can choose a front passenger seat that can can be folded flat too, allowing the SEAT to carry loads up to 2.95m long.
With all the seats in place, the boot is a little on the small side, at just 267 litres, although that makes it still deep enough to hold five full supermarket carrier bags. With the rearmost seats folded there's 1,167 litres of space on offer, increasing to 2,297 with the second row folded as well. However, like many MPV rivals, the third row is only really suitable for carrying children. The good news is the boot and rear sliding doors can be electrified as an option, which makes access incredibly easy.

As well as being relatively long at 4,854mm the Alhambra measures 2,081mm wide, which helps make the cabin feel light and airy. That compares to 4,656mm x 1,884mm for the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer, or 4,820mm x 2,154mm for the Ford Galaxy.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
As in most of its 7-seat MPV rivals, the third row is only really suitable for carrying children, but the second row offers acres of space for three adults with lots of leg- and headroom. There are three individual seats in the row that slide back and forward and recline independently.
More good news comes with the rear sliding doors that can be electrically powered as an option (along with the tailgate), which makes access incredibly easy – even to the third row.
The sliding doors are also incredibly helpful in confined carparks if you're trying to load children into the middle seats and you can specify two built-in booster cushions that lift out of the seat bases, too. ISOFIX child seat mounts are standard on all three middle seats.
Reliability and Safety
Since its launch in 2010, the Alhambra has sold in low numbers, so it hasn't appeared in our Driver Power surveys. But it has contributed to SEAT's 15th place finish in our manufacturer ranking this year, which puts the brand five spots ahead of Citroen, and 10 positions ahead of Ford.
Unfortunately, SEAT's dealers don't have a great reputation, although its franchises saw an improvement from dead last up to 27th in the 2015 survey. The Alhambra earned a five-star Euro NCAP rating, but this was back in 2010 before a more stringent test regime was introduced.
However, that doesn't mean the SEAT can be considered unsafe by any means, as back in 2010 the car recorded an excellent 96 per cent rating for Adult Occupant safety, and 80 per cent for Child Occupants. It features the usual raft of kit too, including seven airbags, driver-operated electric child locks on the sliding doors and three Isofix child seat mounts on the middle row. Safety options include a pair of integrated child seats (£425), while specifying the multifunction camera (£525) adds lane assist and traffic sign recognition.
The standard SEAT warranty applies to the Alhambra, which means three years cover with a 60,000 mileage cap in year three, but unlimited mileage in years one and two. You can spend an extra £400 to get four years/75,000 miles, or £700 for five years/90,000 miles.
SEAT servicing costs are competitive across the board, but you can take out a fixed-price plan for three-years/30,000 miles of routine maintenance for around £20 per month. It doesn't cover consumable items like brake pads or tyres though.
