From our February 1 issue: Scientists...

A Roundtable Discussion on Regenerative Medicine
Failures to Sustain Minimum Bid Prices,...
The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (phew—say that ten times fast) exists to "illuminate how chemicals affect human health." It does so by collecting information from the scientific literature that describes links between chemicals, genes and proteins, and human diseases. One may be surprised to find that this database includes all types of chemicals, not just those that are typically perceived as "toxic." (For instance, one will find naturally occurring chemicals like glucose and fructose in this database.) Users can browse the database by chemicals, diseases, or genes; alternatively, one can search for cross-species chemical-gene interactions, browse genetic pathways, or browse genes by organism. The website design is a bit busy, so it may be difficult to get one's bearings; however, the site provides a number of example queries to help orient visitors.

Toyota Sienna Care & Maintenance
harley918 Posts: 1Took my 04 Sienna LE in for a recall and of course the technician suggested the following considering the vehicle had 14,000 miles: rotate tires/alignment, replace air filter, replace "vent" filter. I couldn't get the work done that day because of childcare but after I got home I recalled the salesperson where I bought this van telling me that the A/C filter was washable. I then went on a Toyota Parts Site and found a filter that was described as "good for up to 50,000 miles/washable" which made me wonder why that wasn't suggested to me at the dealership (how the heck would they make money??!!). I got out my 2004 owner's manual, turned to page 456 and handed it to my 15 year old son. He removed the filter & brought it to me, I picked out some debris, then rinsed it in the kitchen sink, filled up the sink with some dishwashing liquid, swished it around for 2 minutes, rinsed it well again, set it in the window to air dry and my son replaced it the next day. What a chore! They were ready to charge me 55.00 for that job! I know I'll probably have to replace it eventually but I'll search on a parts website (and even settle for a generic--it just filters the air!). I found one for 18.40 but shipping was 10 bucks but you are still close to half of dealer replacement. Wash the thing and go out to dinner with the savings!
lunarmist Posts: 41Our 2002 Sienna LE has 42,000 miles. Recently when we brought in to the Toyota dealership for an oil change, they tried convincing us that the spark plugs needed to be replaced after 30,000 miles. When I let them know that I knew it had Iridium spark plugs, they backed off and left us alone (from trying to rip us off).
Suggestions at what mileage the Iridium plugs need replacing ?
Also, any other suggestions on things that need replacing as preventative maintenance besides the basic fluids and filters? A nice mechanic at the dealership said the PCV valve every 15,000 miles, which I have been doing. -
mechyuda Posts: 8Hi everyone,
Probably by the end of this year, I will need to get a 60,000 mile service on my Toyota Sienna CE, Year 2001, according to the driver's manual.
I checked out Edmunds' maintenane guide and it said that the cost for this should be ~$110 + tax. I called a Toyota dealership that wanted $360 + tax. I called different independent autoshops. Prices ranged from $340 to $180 plus tax.
What are your experiences and costs in getting for a 60,000 mile service? -

spyhandler Posts: 1
nmnsienna Posts: 1there is a tiny little flap in the carpet very near the latch in the trunk. the wheel nut wrench from your toyota tool kit should fit the bolt under this flap. turn it anti-clockwise and your should see your spare tire drop down as you turn it. you will need to turn it until the tire sits on the ground before you can remove it from the hanger.
keithlca Posts: 13I assume you mean the third brake light on top. Recently, I have to replace my 99 Sienna's light also. The problem is that the foam insulation melted onto the car's body. I almost want to just break the plastic cover. With cooler head, I insert a thin piece of metal to loosen the cover. If it's not for the melted foam, that cover should fall right out after removing the 2 screws.

georgecork Posts: 1I have a 2000 Sienna. The dealer told me today that I need to have the rear brakes cleaned & adjusted. He was vague on what "cleaning" meant. I thought the rear brakes were discs. Has anyone had this done, or have any info? The van is getting old enough that I'm afraid the dealer will be dinging me for something every time I go in. Any info would be appreciated

vanshopper Posts: 7We just bought a Sienna at the end of June. Almost all the Honda dealers told us that too...it must be in their training manual. The Sienna owner's manual says that it takes 87, but that you might consider using higher octane for better performance. Some people on these forums have reported some engine knocking with the lower octane, while others have had no problems. My father-in-law successfully uses 87 octane in his Lexus SUV, which supposedly has the same engine as the Sienna.
We did a quick calculation to compare the difference in gas cost over 100,000 miles. We were comparing 89 to 87 octane, at a price difference of $0.10/gallon. Using 89 octane only equated to $300-400 additional cost, spread over 100,000 miles. This was no where near the additional $1500-2000 that we would have spend to get an Odyssey EX (instead of a Sienna LE, package 3). We decided to take our chances with the Sienna since it had a lot to offer at a great price. -
beernut Posts: 329Read the manual. Believe what it says. Tell those Honda salesmen to get a life.
Consider the following: I can't say what the Honda will do because I try ignore them as best I can, but I can tell you that the Toyota, given a consistent supply of fuel over multiple tanks, will not knock with lower octane fuels. In lay terms, it senses knock and adjusts to eliminate it (understanding that all cars have a very small, usually imperceptible, knock all the time). If you change from 91 to 87, you will likely have some knock for a while, but it will go away - that's normal. If you stay with your grade and try to stay with the same supplier as best as you can, you should not have a problem.
PS... I found Honda salesmen to largely be full of it. -
dan bitman Posts: 158if anyone can tell me, please.
I am planning to buy a 2003 Sienna LE in the next few days,

Since I've posted a few articles here on WireValley in regards to my experience with Straight Talk, APN settings, tutorials, screenshots, helping others, etc. I thought it would be a great idea to start a support website for all of us Straight Talk users!
I'll be the first to admit that I switch cell phones and cell phone carriers as fast as I change my socks. This can be a somewhat expensive habit. People always ask how I'm able to do this, and really it's a simple method. Buy the latest and greatest cell phone on the market (currently Samsung Galaxy S3 at the time of this article) and then turn around and sell it in a few months when the next best thing comes out. When you sell your cell phone on eBay or Craigslist you can easily get $350+ for the device, if you keep the phone in good condition. Then, turn around and buy the next cell phone outright at full price (typically $500 – $550).
However, as I am beginning to learn, it's not really worth it anymore. I'm getting older and wiser where I need to start saving money. Therefore, I am buckling down and leaving my old ways. I've done everything else to save money, cut cable TV for the past year and half, take the bus to work, etc. So now it's time to cut the cell phone bill.
At this time, my current cell phone provider is AT&T. When I cancel my contract next week I will end up owing about $270 in early terminal fees. Why am I cancelling? Well to switch to Straight Talk of course! For $45 a month you can get unlimited talk, text, and data*. Notice I put an asterisk next to the word data. Straight Talk doesn't really offer unlimited data, but I'll get to that shortly.
Straight Talk allows you to pick your sim card to work with either AT&T or T-Mobile. Living in the Twin Cities, I decided to go with AT&T because I know they have better network coverage, faster speeds, and my current phone being the Samsung Galaxy S3 is built for the AT&T network.
My current bill with AT&T is right around $80 a month. That gets me pretty much unlimited talk (we hardly talk anyway so our rollover balance has thousands of minutes), unlimited text, and 3GB of data. With Straight Talk I'll be stepping down on the data a little bit. From what I can gather doing research this past week, most people easily get 2GB of data from Straight Talk. Once you hit the 2.5GB mark, it seems people get phone calls to cut back on their data or be cut off. However, I have been seeing some people get 3GB all the way up to 8GB of data without any calls or notices! I can't validate these peoples stories, but I imagine it depends on what area of the country they live in and if AT&T receives network congestion on their towers. Still, Straight Talk should have an automates system to detect any user going over 2.5GB so they can receive the call. Why? They're ruining for the rest of the Straight Talk users. If they keep their data hogging up, AT&T will eventually step up and tell Straight Talk to cough up more money, which means the $45 price will eventually jump to $50 or even $55, which is still savings for most users. I've checked my data usage with AT&T since February of 2012 and the most I've ever used is 1.8GB. Therefore, I should be fine. I always connect to WiFi when I'm at home and work. If I didn't do this then I would easily eat up 5GB of data and be booted from Straight Talk, which I'm not willing to risk because I've had my phone number for years.
If you buy 3 months of Straight Talk you can get your bill down to $41 a month! I don't plan on doing this right away, as I want to test Straight Talk for at least 60 days before giving them 3 months worth of money. However, if I do end up going down this route I will end up saving nearly $40 a month off my cell phone bill. In 3 months that will be $120 in savings. Therefore, with my cancellation fee being $270, I will turn around and start saving that money in a little over 7 months. I'd rather do that, then at month 7 start reaping the benefits of Straight Talk.
Once I have used Straight Talk I will write my review and update this article with the link to that post. Are you using Straight Talk or have family and friends that use them? Let me know your experience in the comments!
i cant get anything but edge on my brand new rooted unlocked GSM intn'l, HISPA phone from on the go solutions… i think i have a setting wrong…probably the APN settings because it wil not work for tmobile either
Are you sure your phone has the right frequency bands built in to connect to AT&T or T-Mobiles towers? I believe AT&T uses 850Mhz and 1900Mhz.
Richard, have you tried straight talk yet. I am thinking of buying a Gallaxys3 and going to straight talk. we have lots of att towers here. do i buy the sim card separately from straight talk or att? great article thanks
I have been with Straight Talk for about 3-4 months now. I couldn't be happier! I use the Galaxy S3 as well. Once in a while I do have to toggle the airplane mode on and then off, etc. However, I would say this is maybe once every 1-2 weeks. So it's not bad.
You buy the Straight Talk SIM card from their website. Make sure you choose that you want to use AT&T's network. They also offer SIM cards for T-Mobile's network.
If you need support at all after you switch, hop on over to StraightTalkSupport.com which is a forum I've started for users to chit chat on.
Thanks so much for the help. Think I will take the leap and get the phone and go for it. Been all over trying to decide and your personal experience has been the most help. Appreciate the help. Will let you know how it goes. Happy Turkey day.
Hi, Richard…i was curious does the multimedia messaging work on your phone, and do you currently have the ICS software?
Hello! Yes, I do have MMS working. It can be a bit tricky to get setup. I feel like MMS is the hardest thing for Straight Talk users to get. However, these are the settings you should be using if you're using the Galaxy S III, with AT&T stock ROM: http://www.wirevalley.com/ultimate-apn-settings-for-straight-talk-with-android/
However, I am NOT using ICS anymore. Now that Cyanogenmod 10 stable version has come out, I'm now running Jelly Bean! I LOVE it. So much smoother.
Now that I've switched ROMs, I am using the same settings in that link I just posted above, except 1 thing, I had to remove "MMSC proxy: 220.127.116.11″ and MMS is working again
Hope this helps!
So no problem eh? I have the Xperia Ion by sony before i had the gingerbread, and evyerhting worked fine, but i thought ICS sounds so much better lol, unfortunately upgrading to this software i realized weeks later that i couldnt recieve or send any picture messages, everything else works fine, just no picture messages… anyways, i guess imma sell my phone (if anyone is interested lol) and buy me the galaxy 3s, seeing as you have no problem with it…
I forgot to ask, do they have like "otter boxes" for the galaxy 3s??
I'm sure they do have those cases. The S3 is the most popular Android phone right now. I personally don't use them because they turn the phone into a brick :-/ I just use a Zagg invisible shield, and then a bumper around the phone.
Once you get the settings into the S3 and everything works, WRITE them down! Or bookmark that link I gave you. From there, you may have to alter a setting or two as you upgrade ROMs, etc. (if you even do that type of thing).
The only issue I have is once or twice a week when I open a browser or start Pandora I get "Unauthorized access" message. I just have to toggle Airplane mode on and then off, and I'm back in business. Not sure why this happens, but I can tap a button once a week for a $45/month cell phone bill
Yeah, but im a clutz and i need protection for my very expensive phones LOL, so therefore i need something that will protect my 'investment' i really want to keep the phone for a longer time you know. Either way thanks, i will keep this page on bookmark so i can do all the neat stuff cant wait to use jelly bean
LoL! I suppose so.
Let me know if you run into issues, or can't get something to work. Going on 4 months with Straight Talk and the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Yes, thanks i have been on and off with straight talk lol, and once i found out they were doing this with phones from att or tmobile i was in a bubble so excited about getting the phone i really wanted lol cant wait for the galaxy
I also switched to straight talk for the same reasons. i am using an unlocked galaxy s3….but I cannot upgrade to jelly bean. the firmware (thru Kies) downloads but then that screen as well as the Kies screen completely disappear, I kept my at&t phone active while I tried straight talk for thrity days – i now have a 6 month subscription and the service is spot on. btw – any ideas on how to upgrade my device ? Officially at&s have released 4.1.1 few days ago
Hi. U can use a Samsung Galaxy SIII on Straight Talk? How? Its not a GSM phone. I want to switch my SIII to Straight Talk but I didnt think that was possible. ???
But mine is thru Verizon.
Yes, Galaxy S III is a GSM phone. You have to buy either the unlocked version, an AT&T Galaxy S III, or T-Mobile S III.
I'm currently using the S III with Straight Talk's AT&T service. Love it!
I believe the S3 US version will be available in October from everything I can find. International S3′s have them now.
Are you able to receive pictures?
I have an S3 with an AT&T plan and have 4g 3 gig data per month for 80.00. From what I know… switching to ST I would lose 4g speed and get hspa or 3g speeds. I have tested both options on speedtest. Using the same server, S2 galaxy with ST using ATT towers with HSPA I get an average 1-3 Meg per second download speed. Using an S3 with my contracted ATT plan utilizing 4g my download speeds average 3-6 megs per second. So, if I do the math, then yes switching to ST with my S3 (paying ET fee) will eventually give me savings after a few months AND I can tether my laptop all at 45 per month. So, is it worth paying half per month, getting 2gig data versus 3 gig and slower download speeds? I am still on the fence with this.
I don't think you'll be able to tether. Straight Talk will catch you and probably boot you off.
For me, yes it was totally worth it to switch to Straight Talk. I was paying about $80 – $90 a month for my cell phone service.
I have gone over Straight Talks 2GB limit once before and nothing happened. I would say you can probably use 2.5GB safely.
Also, my download speeds are not throttled or strained whatsoever on Straight Talk. Whatever speed you're currently getting with AT&T (except LTE) you will get with your Straight Talk AT&T sim card.
And finally, when I was on AT&T I had about 1.5 years left of my contract. I switched to Straight Talk and did NOT have to pay the early termination fee. Reason being, you phone is still registered on AT&T's network and so it looks like the service is still activated which won't trigger AT&T to tack on an early termination fee onto your account. I posted my story over on StraightTalkSupport.com under the Tips and Tricks section.
yes your right i had stright talk for 3 years no problems.i got the idea to go to at&t because i was going to Mexico thought i would have better service.ennded up with over 600 fhone bill.
Hello I was wondering if you would be able to help me set up my husband's phone to work on straight talk. We switched from AT&T and his phone is a Samsung Rugby and I can't get picture messaging to work or the browser. The APN settings that straight talk tells me to enter is not the same set up as what his phone requires. If tried and tried searching for an answer but can't seem to find a solution. I stumbled upon this post and saw where you said you have helped with APN settings before. If its easier my email is firstname.lastname@example.com and I can be more specific to the settings. If you can help at all that would be great. Thank you.
Do you still need help with this? Enter in two separate APNs. 1 for Internet. 2 for MMS.
I have an unlock galaxy s3 phone with straight talk using an att sim card. How can I send and receive pictures on my phone. You can email me at email@example.com and in the subject help with phone, Thank you
Check here for the correct APN settings: http://www.wirevalley.com/ultimate-apn-settings-for-straight-talk-with-android/
I have 80 for mms and still can't receive pics. Is there anything else?
i am having trouble setting up the apn i put in everything it told me to and my internet and mms is still not working idk what im doing wrong im using a att samsung galaxy s3 too. can u please email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com

Madrid Holidays
Your Madrid holiday
Madrid's population dates back to prehistoric times, based on artefacts found along the Manzanares River. The city's name Madrid is said to come from the Muslim Matrice, which refers to the water found in the region.
The city's modern history began in the 10th century, when the Moors occupied a fort along the Manzanares River, from where they controlled the area until Alfonso VI conquered and changed the main mosque into the a Catholic church. Madrid's first court was established in 1329, and Madrid was later handed over rule to Enrique of Tastamara.
During the 1500s, King Felipe II moved the imperial court to Madrid, and the population of the city increased dramatically. Much of Madrid's city improvements such as gates, bridges, were built in the 18th century, as well as now-historic buildings like The Royal Palace, the Royal Theatre, the Ministry of Finance, the Natural Science Museum, and the Botanical Gardens.
The 19th century marked the War of Independence commemorating the battles against Emperor Napoleon's rule. The French left the city after five years. Isabel II became the Queen until the revolt that eventually led to the Spanish Civil War.
Madrid maintained sovereignty from the Spanish Republic until Nationalist troops under Franco entered. Madrid became heavily industrialized, and Franco's death resulted in the succession of a constitutional monarchy. Today, Madrid is a leader in culture, education, and industry on the peninsula.
As the autumn slowly approaches, there is no better way to kick back and relax than taking your holiday in Madrid.
A city with boundless energy and spirit, visitors can spend a day watching a live football game of Real Madrid, spend hours inside some of the most beautiful art galleries and museums in the world, and walk all around the city's numerous parks and monuments.
Madrid is also known for its great nightlife of bars, restaurants, and legendary flamenco, so tourists will stay entertained through the wee hours. So what are you waiting for – hop on the next flight to Madrid today!
Best time to take a holiday to Madrid
The most comfortable times to visit Madrid are in the spring and fall, when temperatures average 25°C. Summers can be hot and relentlessly sunny, and many days reach 30°C and higher in June, July and August. If you are looking for pleasant weather without the crowds, visit Madrid during Easter, when many residents head out of the city for holiday. The winter is the low season, when you will find shorter lines at the city's museums. From late November until February, temperatures can drop to 1 degree Celsius and rain is common around Madrid.
Insider tips for Madrid travel
Late-Night Flamenco
Instead of catching an early dinner and flamenco show, plan to stay out until after midnight, when the best acts perform.
Sunday Drinks
Take a group of friends and head out for tapas on Sunday afternoons, and don't be afraid to have a few drinks.
Matadero Madrid
Join the locals for food and cinema at Matadero Madrid, which used to be a slaughterhouse.
Retiro Park
Spend a sunny afternoon wandering around Retiro Park, or rent a bicycle to explore the leafy paths.
Explore the Botanic Gardens
Just outside the Prado Museum, you can lose yourself in the luscious flowers and plants of Madrid's Botanical Gardens.
Madrid highlights
Watch a Bullfight
As one of Madrid's most traditional and controversial sports, bullfights provide a fascinating glimpse into the country's cultural past. The main bullring in Madrid is La Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas del Espíritu Santo.
The arena has a unique style of red brick and ceramic tiles. The construction of the site was finished in 1929, and now services political speeches and rock concerts in addition to bullfights. It is the third largest in the world. Fights are held on Sundays.
Go to a Fútbol Match with Real Madrid
Head to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to witness Spain's favourite sporting event. With some of the world's best players like Ronaldo, Kaka, and Higuain on the field, the atmosphere of a live Real Madrid game is incomparable. Most tickets are held on reserve for club members, but leftover tickets are sold at the stadium days before the match. Visitors can try this option or buy online, although the latter is more expensive.
Listen to and watch some of Spain's best flamenco
Flamenco artists from around the country have flocked to Madrid since the 1800s, so it is no surprise to find Flamenco music in many different bars and restaurants around the city.
The most famous spot is the Corral de la Moreria. It is the oldest flamenco restaurant in the city, and has some regular notable artists like Antonio Gades, Lucero Tena, and Mario Maya. If travellers want to learn how to dance flamenco, they should take some classes at Amor de Dios Academy, one of the city's most famous.
Shop at the Rastro Flea Market
The largest market in the city happens every Sunday in the centre from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., catering to shoppers who are looking for products both antique and modern. The name comes from the trail of blood left from cattle that were brought to neighbouring tanneries. The market has over 3,500 different booths that line up and down streets and the Plaza de Cascorro.
Top Madrid attractions
Prado Museum
Arguably Madrid's most popular attraction, the Prado Museum is home to countless masterpieces by Goya and Velázquez.
Royal Palace
One of the largest royal buildings in Europe, Madrid's palace is an architectural masterpiece that makes a perfect way to spend a day.
Madrid Cathedral
Enjoy a brief rest in peace and quietness at the Madrid Cathedral, where you can sit and listen to the prayers echoed off from the cavernous ceiling.
Convento de las Carboneras
Visit this quiet convent to buy pastries and cookies from the nuns, who sell their wares each morning.
Hemingway Bar Crawl
Ernest Hemingway was a regular in Madrid, and many tour companies offer pub-crawls to his favourite bars.
Plaza Mayor
Mingle with Madrid's locals in this busy plaza, where you can grab a drink and enjoy a meal at an outdoor cafe.
Plaza de Oriente
Enjoy some of the best people watching in Madrid in this plaza, which is located outside the royal palace.
When you want to party, head to lively Chueca, where you can dance and drink until the wee hours of the morning.
Find a Miracle
Visit the Convento de la Encarnación to watch the crowds heading to pray for a miracle.
Cable Car
Ride the Teléferico Madrid, the cable car that will take you to above the city and get excellent views.
The Royal Palace
This is one of the first stops guests should check out within the city. The Palacio Real is the largest building in the city, and easily the most beautiful. The neighbouring Plaza de Oriente Square gives the palace a run for its money, however.
The palace was designed for King Felipe V in the 18th century. Originally built for all of the king's courtiers, today the palace has antique furniture, and artwork by artists such as Goya, Giordano, and Mengs.
The Puerta del Sol
This square is located in the centre of the city, and just a few blocks from Plaza Mayor. It was once the eastern edge of the city, and its gates face the sun (hence its name).
Located in the heart of the city, the square is surrounded by beautiful buildings such as the clock towered Real Casa de Correos, which was part of the post office. On the other side of the square is the city's official symbol the "Bear and Strawberry Tree" statue.
The Prado Museum
Arguably Madrid's most famous cultural destination, this museum has one of the most complete art galleries in the world. The museum has historic works from European artists like Velázquez, Goya, Raphael, and Bosch.
The building itself is almost 200 years old, and the name "Prado" comes from the gardens that originally surrounded the area. Notable works include Velazquez's "Las Meninas", "The Triumph of Bacchus", and Rembrandt's self-portrait, "Artemisia". Another classic is Goya's once-controversial "The Naked Maja."
The Santa María de la Real de la Almudena Cathedral
Visitors cannot leave Madrid without visiting at least one historic religious site such as the main cathedral. Construction began 100 years ago, but was not completed until 1993. Pope John Paul II consecrated the church, and its name holds true to Spain's European and Arabic cultural mix. The architecture has neoclassic and gothic styles, and contains both granite and marble.
Where to stay in Madrid
One of the classiest hotels in all of Madrid, the ME Madrid Reina Victoria Hotel lies in the heart of the city, just blocks from the Prado Museum and Puerto de Sol square. Rooms are comfortable with patios, furniture with 100 thread-count linen, and bathrooms with all of the amenities. High Speed Internet is always available, and spa services provide ultimate relaxation.
For guests who are looking for a modern and stylish hotel, the 30-storey Eurostars Madrid Tower Hotel is the place to stay. Three large pillars support the building's structure and create its unique shape. The 478 guest rooms have LCD televisions, big bathrooms, designer furniture, tapestries, and an incredible view of the city.
If you are interested in affordable yet comfortable lodging, be sure to check out the Alexandra Madrid Hotel for Madrid's finest budget lodging. This hotel was built in the 20th century and has since been restored. It is located in the centre of the city just minutes from the Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace. Rooms come standard with air conditioning, satellite television, and a nice bathroom.
Guests can get an antique feel in the former 18th century palace, Catalonia Las Cortes Hotel. This hotel is near the Plaza de las Cortes in the bohemian Las Letras neighbourhood. Located close to the main city attractions, the hotel also features original frescos paintings, free wireless Internet, and a restaurant.

How to move around in Madrid
To and from Madrid
Madrid is located in the central region of Spain and for this reason it can be accessed by various means of transportation. The Renfe train system is good for knowing places outside of Madrid as it is used often as a national form of transport to the south, north, east and west.
Madrid's Barajas Airport is about 15 kilometres from the centre of the city. For this reason there are taxis services, chauffeur specialty vehicles, buses, car hire in Madrid, and metro. A good taxi service is Aerocity, but you may need to reserve in advance. Travellers looking for comfort and reliability can choose Aresmobile. Otherwise there is the 89 bus route that goes to the Plaza Colón, and the Terminal T2 has the Metro which runs every 5 minutes.
Around town
Once in the Madrid metro area there are several ways to get from point A to point B. The most common options are taxis, the underground, and buses.
The EMT bus network operates in the city. They operate within designated bus lanes and run almost 24 hours per day. Beware that it is necessary to flag the bus down. The price is 1 euro per ticket.
A single ticket for travel on the Metro is priced at €2 each. A 10-journey pass provides a discount. Trains arrive about every three minutes, but on weekends wait can be up to ten minutes. The Metro runs from 6 a.m.-2 p.m. and is open year round.
Madrid restaurants
Guests looking to taste the finest Spanish and Portuguese cuisine in the most comfortable environment available should check out the Terraza del Casino (Alcalá, 15). This restaurant features spectacular views of the city. Some of chef Ferran Adrià's top dishes include Galician Hake, Creamed Asturian bean soup, and Cured Ham. Wine connoisseurs will enjoy the long lest of Spanish and French vinos.
Those wanting to taste Spanish and Portuguese flavours without having to spend a fortune should go to Casa Lucio (Calle Cava Baja, 35), a favourite hotspot for major players from Spanish royalty to Latin American film stars. The place has a comfortable vibe with antique accessories and cured hams hanging from the roof. The menu includes shrimp in garlic sauce, Hake with sauce, and roasted lamb.
Txirimiri (Humilladero, 6) is an incredible dining destination for budget travellers. Located in the Salamanca district of the city, this restaurant has great tapas and a generous Basque menu. Txirimiri is famous for its quiet and enjoyable atmosphere, along with its signature Pinchos and other plates such as the Grilled steaks.
For more general Mediterranean cuisine, check out Pan de Lujo (Jorge Juan, 20). The restaurant's design is trendy and contemporary, with a glass wall opening to an illuminated reflecting pool. A great meal might include eggplant, olive oil, and hummus appetizers followed by a fish plate with grilled vegetables.
Health & Safety
There are no necessary vaccinations for a trip to Madrid. Water is potable, however bottled water is recommended for babies.
Madrid's health infrastructure is very good. It is recommended to have a European Health Insurance Card just in case.
In the case of an emergency, visitors should dial 112 for emergency rescue or 085 for the fire department. Some good clinics include the Ramon y Cajal Hospital in Madrid (91) 336 8000, the Princesa Hospital (91) 520 2200, and the Ciudad Sanitaria La Paz (91) 358 0851.
Unfortunately, criminal acts and assaults have increased in recent years around the city. There are certain neighbourhoods that tourists should try to avoid, such as the areas that surround Retiro Park, the Prado Museum, and Colon Square. Do not walk alone at night and do not walk around with flashy jewellery or electronic gadgets like MP3 players that might attract unwanted attention from strangers.
Do not accept any food or drinks from strangers that you meet in bars or restaurants, and do not walk around with too much cash on hand. It is recommended that you make photocopies of original travel documents like passports and credit cards in the case they become lost or are stolen.
Carry a mobile phone with some emergency numbers stored in the contacts in case of an incident. If assaulted, do not panic and do not resist.
The possession and consumption of drugs is illegal in Spain, and alcohol is only permitted for those older than 18. Prostitution is also outlawed.

"Paradise for bibliophiles" Top 5 Page for this destination Hay-On-Wye by SallyM
Hay-On-Wye Travel Guide: 25 reviews and 34 photos
Hay-on-Wye is famous for its bookshops. There are loads of secondhand bookshops, varying from specialist shops, such as "Murder and Mayhem" where you are unlikely to spot a bargain, but which has lots of rare first editions, to Hay Castle bookshop, where books are left in the open air on an 'honesty' system.
There are so many bookshops it is impossible to mention them all, but Addyman books (which also operates Murder and Mayhem and the Addyman Annexe) and the Cinema bookshop (based in the old cinema, not selling film books only) should not be missed.
Hay is also a great base for exploring the Welsh Marches.
It is a beautiful area for walking.
As well as local walks, there is the Offa's Dyke path, and from nearby Kington, you can follow the 'Mortimer Trail'.
The Rare Breeds farm and Owl Centre near Kington is well worth a visit. As well as various rare breeds of goats and sheep, they have a huge range of owls, including some hand-reared ones that enjoy being stroked by adult visitors. Note: their British owls are mostly 'rescue owls' who would not survive in the wild, but some of whom have bred successfully, with the chicks being released.
- Pros:Amazing selection of bookshops (and teashops)
- Cons:Whatever your book-buying budget is, it won't be enough.
- In a nutshell:Books, books, and more books.

bok readers must be more honest
I loved the Baskerville Arms when I visited Clyro earlier this year. Their gormet dishes are fab, the Wye Valley beers are great, and the proprieters wonderfully friendly. Quiz night was especially fun!
nice photos of your visit - i enjoyed my visit a few years ago to the book festival well worth going to.
A new page about Hay! Wonderful!

When Joy Kakabeeke was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, she turned to yoga. Having experienced the restorative, therapeutic effects of yoga in the past, Kakabeeke was pleasantly surprised at how regular yoga sessions helped ease the discomfort of her fibromyalgia. As a result, she opened Yoga Reflections as a means to share her knowledge and experience with others. Here, she and other instructors lead not only yoga classes, but also Pilates and sculpting barre classes that take place throughout the week.
Wings Stadium plays host to more than just board-slamming checks during the Kalamazoo Wings' home hockey games. On select days, the 8,023-seat venue opens its frozen confines to amateurs interested in all sorts of winter sports. Skaters of all ages can glide across the smooth ice during open-skating sessions, and members of the Kalamazoo Curling Club practice and face off throughout the fall and winter. On weekend nights, hockey fans can bring their own skates to a K-Wings home game and finish their night skating and checking the ice for lost incisors.
Soccer Zone South Bend's dedicated team of coaches display their passion for the great sport of soccer through classes designed to hone the technique of young strikers from ages 3–10. The newly formatted Tiny Tots course imparts knee-high kickers with the spatial awareness to kick around a soccer ball and hone the teamwork skills necessary for sneaking into the World Cup with four friends and an oversize trench coat. As kids play, learn, and make new friends on the pitch, Soccer Zone South Bend's instructors guide their development through dedicated teaching and positive reinforcement.
Putter's Family Fun Center strengthens familial bonds and encourages friendly competition with mini golf, an arcade room, and batting cages. The 18-hole mini golf course ($5/person) thwarts shots with tricky terrain and obstacles, including waterfalls, fiberglass giraffes, and ACT testing. Fully charged children expend energy on batting cages ($15 for 30 minutes) and giant trampolines ($3), and the extensive arcade and water-balloon arena serve as battlegrounds for settling inter-family disputes over whose father is the better astronaut. The center also hosts free WiFi and a snack bar, serving energy-packed foods to sustain childish fits of fun long into the night.
Equipped with an in-house brewing system, Old Hat Brewery churns out a medley of homegrown suds to pair with an extensive menu of hearty pub fare. Whistles receive a thorough wetting with a bevy of brews ($4–$5), such as the house-brewed alt ale, which glows with a ruby hue and creates a bitter balance of malt and hops; and the pub's original gluten-free brew, a sudsy beverage that gives sippers with vendettas against whole grains the opportunity to quench thirsts. Old Hat Brewery fills in the nooks and crannies left in the stomach after a brew-dousing with noshables such as the prime-rib french dip sandwich, a mound of meat marinated in homemade stout and resting atop billowy bread ($6.99); or a half-pound burger cooked to order ($5.99). Burritos, nachos, and quesadillas satisfy southwestern appetites ($5.99–$7.99), and an array of hand-tossed dough disks come adorned with your choice of fixings or inspirational quotes penned in marinara sauce ($8.99–$12.99).
Slip 'n' slides. Mud pits. Tire runs. A tarzan swing. Regardless of whether you choose the 1.5- or 3.5-mile route, the Muddy Patriot has one goal in mind: to get you dirty. With adrenaline pumping and live music from The Bronk Bros. filling the air, racers aged 13 and older take on the Muddy Patriot obstacle course, which is made, like a pig's-dream montage, almost entirely of mud.
Though it may technically be considered a competition, Muddy Patriot's founder, Chris Bushart, intended it to be fun, first and foremost. As a veteran of the United States Navy, Bushart's time spent traversing the globe made him realize how much he loved his country and how much he wanted to give back. The Muddy Patriot not only brings excitement to Michiganders for a day, but also supports local businesses and children's charities such as Safe Harbor Children's Advocacy Center.
