The power of hybridization between species to generate variation and fuel adaptation is poorly understood despite long-standing interest. There is, however, increasing evidence that hybridization often generates biodiversity, including via hybrid speciation. We tested the hypothesis of hybrid speciation in butterflies occupying extreme, high-altitude habitats in four mountain ranges in western North America with an explicit, probabilistic model, and genome-wide DNA sequence data. Using this approach, in concert with ecological experiments and observations and morphological data, we document three lineages of hybrid origin. These lineages have different genome admixture proportions and distinctive trait combinations that suggest unique and independent evolutionary histories.

Free market at its best. Let them pay for the water they reap profit from.
In short, packaging would be a lot more expensive, unless they figure out a way to get volumes out of this one
Getting volumes out is exactly what the manufacturing engineering will be doing, and usually involves a bigger slice of wafer to increase yield.
I would think that any laser reflective off a metal rail would lose focus and be scatter far too much to burn a hole in anything. This is a gut feel though and not based on hard math.
1) They're*
2) Dear God, people, attaching lasers to anything makes it epic cool. What the hell has happened to Slashdot?
Wouldn't it be easier to mount brushes or something?
Maybe, but not nearly 1/20th as cool as lasers. Please turn in your nerd card at the door.
Now that I think about it, if Philae did not bounce off of the comet, then the screws must be doing their job and I would think the harpoons might not be needed at all. I would assume the harpoons were in the plans because the engineers couldn't be sure the screws would work on the surface of a comet.
My understanding is that the harpoons were one of two ways that ESA was going to secure the probe to the comet. There were also screws that were supposed to attach the legs to the surface. So if they can still fire the harpoons they ought not have an issue with Philae flying off into space, but does anyone with more information on the relative strength of each? And if the harpoons could not be fired... what is the real risk of the probe shifting? I mean what would cause it to shift in the first place once settled on the comet?
No it isn't worthless. Most small shops could probably get by with using it exclusively.
Well, they can certainly file, but they would lose. I remember a business law case we went over many years ago where Hallmark Cards trashed a bunch of their cards, someone salvaged them and got sued. The case ruled against Hallmark. I'm not finding it in a Google, but remember the case from the class.
I wonder if some of these folks were already regretting their decision to tie up money in a space flight. People's finances change, life situations change, priorities change... and this is a convenient way to try to get out of the financial obligation.
No evidence on my part... just idle speculation.
Grandiloquence is an occupational hazard for a solo musician. There you are, alone onstage, playing works that are acknowledged to be monumentally great with breathtaking ability. It can be hard to avoid assuming the trappings of greatness.
Exhibit A is Dejan Lazic, who made his Washington debut Saturday afternoon as part of the Washington Performing Arts Society's Hayes Piano Series at the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater. Lazic, 33, is a pianist, composer and sometime clarinetist. A few years ago, he made a strong mark as a performing partner of cellist Pieter Wispelwey. More recently, his claim to fame was turning Brahms's violin concerto into something dubbed "Piano Concerto No. 3," which he recorded with the Atlanta Symphony earlier this year. The feat ranks somewhere on the "because it's there" spectrum of human achievement: attention-getting, large scale and a little empty.
His recital of Chopin and Schubert on Saturday was unfortunately on the same spectrum. The selection of those two composers is usually a way to demonstrate a pianist's sensitivity as well as his virtuosity. This performance, though, kept one eye fixed on monumentality. Some of the pieces, such as Chopin's Scherzo No. 2, sounded less like light solo piano works than an attempt to rival the volume of a concerto with full orchestra. This scherzo became cartoon-like in its lurches from minutely small to very, very large.
It's not that Lazic isn't sensitive - or profoundly gifted. The very first notes of Chopin's Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante at the start of the program signalled that he can do anything he wants at the keyboard, detailing chords with a jeweler's precision, then laying little curls of notes atop a cushion of sound like diamonds nestled on velvet. Again and again, throughout the afternoon, he showed what a range of colors he could get out of the instrument, switching from hard-edged percussiveness to creamy legato, crackling chords to a single thread of sound. The sheer technical ability was, at first, a delight.
Soon, though, all of the finesse started to seem like an end in itself. Every nuance of the music was underlined visibly with a host of concert-pianist playacting gestures: head flung back at the end of a phrase; left hand conducting the right hand; or a whole ballet of fingers hovering over keys and picking out their targets before an opening note was even struck at the start of Chopin's Ballade No. 3. There were fine moments, but they stubbornly refused to add up to anything more than a self-conscious display of Fine Moments. The final movement of Chopin's Second Piano Sonata was in a way the most successful part of the program: sheer virtuosity, and perfectly unhinged.
Schubert's B-flat Sonata, D. 960, was a chance to shift into another gear and show a more reflective side, but it was a chance Lazic didn't quite take. The notes, again, were exquisitely placed, and there were things to like, but the human side fell short. All of the precision didn't help bring across the lyricism of the first movement's theme, or the threat of the bass growl that keeps warning off ease from the bottom of the keyboard. The second movement, instead of being a searching, tugging quest, was reduced to merely very pretty music.
The pianist was received with reasonably warm applause, but it didn't last long enough to draw an encore - which ought to get his attention. He's a pianist of prodigious gifts, and he's too good not to do better, to move beyond the music's challenges and into the realm of its soul.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo. - Andy Finkel, computer guy

Judge reduces bail for former Mamtek CEO
- Staff St. Louis Business Journal
Citing Bruce Cole's limited financial resources and lack of prior convictions, a Missouri judge cut the bond he was being held on from $500,000 to $100,000.
Cole was chairman and CEO of Mamtek U.S. when it received $39 million of industrial development bonds from the city of Moberly to build an artificial sweetener facility, bonds that he allegedly used to avoid foreclosure on his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. Cole, who previously filed two unsuccessful motions to have his bail lowered, will now have to put up only $10,000 in cash in order to be released from Randolph County jail, the News Tribune reports.
If he is released, Cole could return to his California home, where he would be under house arrest.

Steve Harvey Talks Relationships at ESSENCE Festival
Yolanda Sangweni
Comedian and author Steve Harvey had everyone at the
ESSENCE Music Festival
in stitches as he answered audience questions about relationships at the end of his day-long Empowerment Seminar. There were many moments of laughter, and reflection as Harvey spoke on everything from why a man won't ask you to marry him and why we shouldn't focus on interracial relationships. Here's what the author of "Act Like a Lady, Think like a Man" had to say about the these hot-button issues, in his own words...
On dressing the part so men can respect you:
"You cannot expect a man to treat you special if you do not treat yourself special. If you're wearing clothing that's showing everything out for everybody to see, we already know you don't have anything special and you cannot expect us to treat you special. If you don't give a damn about who's looking at your body, then guess what, we're not going to treat you special."
On waiting on a man you think has potential:
"The question women have to ask themselves is 'how long should you wait for a guy to get it together if he has potential?' What you have to understand is that potential is a verb, it's an action. Potential isn't laying on the sofa playing video games. Potential isn't unemployed. Potential is a guy with a plan, who is working and actively trying to get it together."
On getting a man to pop the question:
"Ladies, I have to put that one on you. If you've been in a relationship with a man for x number of years and he still hasn't asked you to marry him, it's your fault. Let me explain: the dream of marriage is a woman's dream. You're the one who cares about whether you'll have doves, and whether you're gonna ride in a pony. The day is your dream. All a man dreams about is the woman. If we can get the woman of our dream without the ring, we're cool. If you have a man and he loves you and he wants you, you have to let him know from the jump that in order to be with you he has to marry you. He sleeps with you, y'a'' do thing ya'll ain't got no business doing, y'all pay bills together. You're doing everything he needs from the woman of his dreams but you have not gone to hims and told him that in order to continue to have all this that you bring to the table, he needs to put a ring on it."
On interracial relationships:
"Hill Harper told me this one and I kept it with me: Only six percent of married African-American men marry outside the race. Y'all just see the famous ones and think that Black men have this fascination with White women. You do have Black men that do that, but guess what, Black women do it too. It's more of a myth than you think it is. Women, give yourself a break and take that one off your meter."

Ozzie Guillen Tweets Immediately After Ejection
Ozzie Guillen let the Twitter community in on his feelings immediately following his 1st inning ejection on Wednesday night. The fiery Manager was ejected for arguing balls and strikes in the top of the 1st against the New York Yankees. Before play had even resumed, Guillen shared (or tweeted) his honest opinion:
"This one is going to cost me a lot of money this is patetic."
Does this mean that Ozzie has his phone out in the dugout? He can just tweet at his leisure? Text friends? I heard he even has an app called "pick a closer." The app collects all the names from the bullpen and randomly selects the closer for the evening.

Vintage Liberty African Marigold
Vintage Liberty African Marigold Fabric
Liberty William Morris Arts & Crafts furnishing fabric originally designed in 1876 but this one adapted by Liberty circa 1980.
The fabric is a good quality linen union which is as new, clean and unused. The pattern and colouring are particularly beautiful in this weight - the little coral pink marigolds on a dark green ground being secondary to the much larger, pale shaded tulips or magnolia blossom (not sure which) and the toning pale blue green acanthus like foliage.
My magnifying glass is 2" (5cm) in diameter to help with the scale.
This listing is for a 4 yard long x 53" wide length, to be sold in half yards. If more than one half yard is ordered the fabric will be sent as a single, uncut length.

VIEWS: 2 PAGES: 12 CATEGORY: Computers: Software POSTED ON: 4/13/2012
The present invention is related to the field of pattern analysis, and more particularly, to pattern analysis involving the conversion text data to synthetic speech.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Numerous advances, both with respect to hardware and software, have been made in recent years relating to computer-based speech recognition and to the conversion of text into electronically generated synthetic speech. Thus, there now existcomputer-based systems in which data that is to be synthesized is stored as text in a binary format so that as needed the text can be electronically converted into speech in accordance with a text-to-speech conversion protocol. One advantage of this isthat it reduces the memory overhead that would otherwise be needed to store "digitized" speech. Notwithstanding these advances, however, one problem persists in transforming textual input into intelligible human speech, namely, the handling of homographs that are sometimes encountered in any textual input. A homograph comprises one ormore words that have identical spellings but different meanings and different pronunciations. For example, the word BASS has two different meanings--one pertaining to a type of fish and the other to a type of musical instrument. The word also has twodistinct pronunciations. Such a word obviously presents a problem for any text-to-speech engine that must predict the phonemes that correspond to the character string B-A-S-S. In some instances, the meaning and pronunciation may be dictated by the function that the homograph performs; that is, the part of speech to which the word corresponds. For example, the homograph CONTRACT, when it functions as a verb has onemeaning--and, accordingly, one pronunciation--and another meaning and corresponding pronunciation when it functions as a noun. Therefore, since nouns frequently precede predicates, knowing the order of appearance of the homograph in a word string maygive a clue as to its appropriate pronunciation. In o

How Funny Is Your Dissertation?
Your dissertation topic is probably more humorous than you thought. Or at least it is when you reduce your years of hard work into one brief sentence everyone can understand.
For a little levity and brevity you might want to check out lolmythesis.com, the dissertation humor site.
Created by Angela Frankel (angelafrankel.com), a senior at Harvard University, her site is a place for thesis writers to sum up their "years of work in one sentence" with mostly humorous, or sad, results (depending on your level of cynicism).
Here are two recent one line summaries to give you the flavor of the submissions:
"Pain is hard to talk about; poetry, masochism, and opium help."
"19th century Western libraries stole a bunch of shit from other countries and put it in display cases."
For more about Angela and her site, check out the Slate article "College Students' Thesis Topics Are Hilarious, Depressing" by Will Oremus.

September 8, 2013 - I gave this item as a gift and she loves it. She has already made good use of it and carries it in her purse every day!
February 1, 2013 - These are very pretty and a tidy little size for tucking into your purse.
September 10, 2012 - Really cute and purse friendly! The magnetic enclosure is very convenient to hold things together. I loved giving them as gifts to my son's teachers in their owl-themed classroom.

Paris-Tours organizers ASO (Amaury Sports Organisation) have invited Mark Cavendish to become the first world road race champion to compete in the French sprinters' classic next month. Cavendish became only the second Briton, and the first since Tom Simpson in 1965, to win the road race world champion's rainbow stripes in Copenhagen on Sunday.
The 26-year-old from the Isle of Man, who races for HTC-Highroad, has never won the late season French classic but is set to participate in his new rainbow stripes on October 9. Organizers ASO are hoping Cavendish could buck a recent trend which has seen newly-crowned world champions failing to win the race.
"Where Tom Boonen failed in 2005, just like Oscar Freire the previous year, Cavendish could become the first world champion to triumph in his new jersey on the famous Grammont Avenue," said ASO.
Philippe Gilbert of Belgium, one of the most prolific riders in the peloton this season and a former two-time winner (2008, 2009), will also fancy his chances. Norway's Thor Hushovd, world champion in 2010, will line up for Garmin while Vacansoleil's Romain Feillu will carry French hopes following his sixth place finish behind Cavendish in Copenhagen. Former three-time world champion Oscar Freire of Spain won last year's edition from a bunch sprint after Frenchman Geoffroy Lequatre, a late escapee, was caught in the final few hundred meters.

I reside in OH. I have insurance through progressive, my payments are about $230/month. I do finance my vehicle so it's necessary to have full coverage, I do have GAP insurance through my car dealership. OK. I have a ticket and 2 at fault accidents on my record (one really wasn't my fault) both under $500 claims... ANYWAYS, I know people who have DUI's that have lower car insurance than I do and I am a good driver, ugh. Is there any sugesstions on ways to lower my car insurance?

Advice about car insurance in Ohio..paying way too much?
Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators
Report Abuse
You DO need to comparison shop, no doubt about it. But your rationale isn't necessarily correct. A lot goes into pricing car insurance on top of the insured's driving records. What is the year, make, and model of your car? How many miles do you drive daily to work? annually? do you use your car every day for business (delivery service)? where do you live? how safe is your neighborhood? Do you have one person on the policy (you?) or are there others? If so, what kind of driving record do they have? How old are you? Lots of factors. Believe it or not, if you are a college student with as many tickets as you shared and comparing yourself to a late middle age person with a DUI more than 3-5 years old, you just might be paying higher rates.
Comparison shop apples to apples and you will see differences. -

A ticket and 2 at fault accidents don't make a good driver. Some companies won;t insure you under those circumstances.
It also depends on where you live (and the car theft rate), where you park (street or locked garage) and safety/security devices you have - as well as type of car.
I pay almost $200 per month, have a perfectly clean record and park in a manned garage at night - and don;t use the car for work - only weekends.
You should try other companies - but be sure you don;t pick one of those who always find areason not topay claims. -
Report Abuse
Well - it all depends on what insurance you have. If you have no assets - or are willing to risk them - you can take the minimum policy.
We have significant assets and there are a lot of expensive cars here - so we're now carrying $500,000 each. (If you're carrying $25,000 and cause an accident with even a Porsche or Jaguar - how do you pay that off? Never mind injuries.) -
Report Abuse
yes it's minimum insurance. we are young and drive a mazda 3 and subaru impreza, we have no assets.
I guess the main point to all of this though, is sure shop around, doesn't hurt to look.
Most of the people I know (average Ohio professionals) pay about $400-$500 per 6 months. -
Report Abuse
I also think the rates would be a lot less between Ohio and NY, just a guess!! Ps we have no tickets or accidents and have been with Progressive for 7 years.

re: Dave Feldman
yes, yes and honestly I haven't tried B.Jal.
But if you say it's good I'll put it onmy list.
Hard to afford eating oput nowadays but I'll get to it.That said, we have to compare apples to apples my friend.
Chipotle accomplishes what it sets out to do.
Makes good mexican-american food with the best possible ingredients it can use and still remain affordable.
It stays true to who it claims to be.
Food with integrity check out the website.
You can taste it too.When we taste our food we gotta meditate on what were eating sometimes.
(chewing taco)
How does this meat taste?
Old? Frozen,defrosted,refrozen,defrosted?
Expired? US standard or select grade?
How's the tortilla? Too hard? Plastic texture?
Can you still taste some of the earthy "cornyness" in it?A birrieria doesn't have much to do with chipotle if it's actually a birrieria.
That would be a place attempting to be AUTHENTIC mexican 1st of all.
Chipotle is NOT authentic mexican but that's ok they dont claim to be.
Also a birrieria sinks or swims on the strength of their BIRRIA above
all. Totally different concept.So, how's the birria?
Do you like to cook yourself?
If so YOU could make better tasting and more authentic mexican food that all these places with a little practice. I am not being sarcastic either.We can on and on if you're serious about this.
0 -
re: Dave Feldman
Yes I do. Except for B.Jal which I haven't tried.
Go ahead and name the others I can always learn something.Chipotle stays true to who thet claim to be.
Not Authentic mex but thats OK. Food with integrity healthy and tastes goood too.
Look at thier site.If you like to cook, with a little time and effort YOU Dave could make far better and more authentic mex than these guys. I'm not being sarcastic.
Quality ingredients, knowledge, passion are absent at these places.0
If you're leaving the Strip for breakfast find an Omelette House, they're a local institution. There's one on W. Charleston just east of Rancho. There's also one inside The Plaza if you find yourslef on Fremont St.

That's just how Chip Wood rolls (Video)
Not one to idle, founder and chairman prepares to launch 40 new tech-savvy Tire Discounter stores
- Tom Demeropolis
- Senior Staff Reporter- Cincinnati Business Courier
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Chip Wood won't take his foot off the gas pedal.
After adding 40 locations over the past 10 years, and opening a prototype Tire Discounters store last month in Colerain Township, Wood, founder and chairman, wants to roll out 40 new stores. That brings the total to more than 120, ranging from Columbus to Lexington, by 2018.
Wood wants to turn the often tedious task of buying and installing tires into a quick and comfortable experience. New Tire Discounters stores have customer-friendly check-outs, flat-screen TVs in waiting areas, a refreshment bar, and a place where customers can get an inside look at what's happening with their vehicle at all times.
"These new stores are not just about image, but helping with customer service," he said.
Sharonville-based Tire Discounters already is one of the largest independent tire dealers in the nation, ranking No. 10, according to Modern Tire Dealer magazine.
Wood wouldn't disclose revenue, but said Tire Discounters is as big as another of Cincinnati's family-owned companies, LaRosa's Inc. The pizza company had 2011 revenue of $129 million. Wood employs about 900 across the company's 80 stores, headquarters and distribution facility in Sharonville.
It's been a long journey. When Wood opened his first store on Wooster Pike in 1976, he thought he'd made it. But after a time, he realized there was more room to grow.
In 2010, when Wood hired Paul Brunner as president and CEO, the expansion plans accelerated. To design and build the new stores, he brought on Andrew Limke of Turner Construction, Andrew Sellet of Cassidy Turley and Mark Browning of PDT Architects.
"We took the current store, which is good, clean and bright, and completely changed it to enhance customer service," said Executive Vice President Jamie Ward.
The cost for a new store is $1.7 million and the emphasis is on pleasing a group that represents 65 percent of Tire Discounter customers: women.
The result: baby changing stations in the restrooms, free wi-fi and a kid-friendly waiting area.
High tech touches set stores apart
Wood also invested in technology. The prototype store does away with the traditional sales counter in favor of service kiosks. Sales reps are armed with tablets or keyboards connected to TVs that show everything the employee is talking about.
Bob Ulrich, editor of Modern Tire Dealer, said Tire Discounters isn't the only tire retailer using tablets. But another offering is unique. Tire Discounters' new stores will have TVs that not only show where a customer's car is in the process of being serviced and how much longer it will take, but the customer can watch live video of each step.
"I've never heard of that," Ulrich said. "It is amazing. It shows how progressive they are."
Tire Discounters also benefits from the recent recession. As other retailers reduced store counts, good property became available. Neil Stern, senior partner with Chicago-based retail consulting practice McMillanDoolittle, said landlords are still looking to fill spots.
"It's a great time to be expanding," Stern said.
Tire sales and automotive service are also recession-resistant, Stern said. Since customers keep their cars longer in tough economic times, that means more service will be needed.
Longer term, Wood sees the family-owned business continuing to be just that. He ticked off all the names of former independent tire dealers that were purchased by larger companies: Michel Tire, Bob Sumerel and Ken Towery Tire & AutoCare.
"I don't want to sell," Wood said. "This is my baby."

'She leaned in and kissed me full on the lips': Marilyn Monroe had a lesbian affair with this 16-year-old, sensational new book claims
A new book to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death has revealed how the blonde bombshell was sexually attracted to women.
Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret, told by Jane Lawrence to author Tony Jerris, reveals how the Fifties sex symbol seduced a 16-year-old girl who started the actress' first fan club at 20th Century Fox.
In recollections told to Mr Jerris, Ms Lawrence reveals how the then 29-year-old actress 'leaned in and kissed me full on the lips, very softly and very slowly. I was nearly hyperventilating.'
Secret affair: Jane Lawrence (left) tells her story to author Tony Jerris, revealing how the Fifties sex symbol seduced her at 16 after she started the actress' first fan club at 20th Century Fox
Ms Lawrence also reflects upon her fondest memories of the screen goddess, how she became the superstar's confidante, whom Marilyn used to call, 'my little secret,' while also exposing the sexual relationship she shared with her as a teenager.
The author, who was introduced to Ms Lawrence through a mutual friend in 2001, told RadarOnline: 'Jane met Marilyn when she was 12 because her adopted father ran the legal department at RKO studio.'
'They soon became close friends after realizing that they had been in the same orphanage at different times of their lives, even though Marilyn was 14 years older, and neither of them knew their birth fathers,' he added.
No Business Like Show Business: Ms Lawrence reflects upon her fondest memories of the screen goddess, and exposes the sexual relationship she shared with her as a teenager
Souvenirs: Ms Lawrence has kept Marilyn's lipstick smudges and makeup compact; Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret is a story of the now elderly woman and her fondest memories of the icon
'They became close friends because there were so many similarities in their past. Jane always struggled with her sexuality, she talked to Marilyn about this many times and she was very understanding. She told her, "Whatever your sexual preference is, it means nothing - love is love."'
the then teenager had had encounters with other girls before, she
explains how one night in 1955, the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes star
completely altered her view of 'sexual experiences'.
She went over to Marilyn's Los Angeles apartment to help her line some shelves, she says the evening quickly went from home decor to something much more intimate.
In her recollections, Ms Lawrence reveals that the actress had taken the prescription drug Nembutal, while drinking was champagne, by the time she arrived.

'The champagne makes me happy. The pill makes me happier faster,' Marilyn told her.
While measuring paper for her shelves, Ms Lawrence says she was taken aback when her idol suddenly kissed her on her thigh, with a 'mischievous twinkle in her eye'.
Ms Lawrence says in the memoir: 'The next few minutes became hazy, surreal and dream-like. My pulse leaped as Marilyn kissed my thigh again... she then leaned in and kissed me full on the lips, very softly and very slowly. I was nearly hyperventilating.
'We moved through the living room into the bedroom,' she reveals.
As their passion escalated, she explains how 'Marilyn used her tongue, lavishly flicking and licking, an entirely new sensation for me. With the girls I had enjoyed sex with, there was often a shyness and hesitancy, not the hunger and confidence Marilyn displayed.'
Mr Jerris said that the experience confirmed to Ms Lawrence that she was gay, and as she got older she had relationships with other girls, along with several more sexual experiences with Marilyn.
However Ms Lawrence doesn't believe that Marilyn was a lesbian.
'She was just a free spirit. She was a very open person.' she says.
Despite the pair's working relationship with the actress developing into a sexual friendship, they remained close friends for ten years, up until Marilyn's death at age 36.
Told in Ms Lawrence's voice, Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret is a story of a now elderly woman and her fondest memories of an icon.
According to the book, Ms Lawrence invited Marilyn down to Coronado near San Diego the week before her death for some rest and recuperation with her family, but the actress refused. Ms Lawrence tells how instead of being able to save her friend, she has been forced to mourn her for the rest of her life.

48 hours in Havana
Stroll through the magnificent decrepitude of the finest Spanish colonial city, to see Che Guevara's sock and the hotel that Hemingway called home
Why go now?
Why go now?
Because the finest Spanish colonial city on earth is shining more brightly this spring than it has for decades. Because you no longer have to go there via Prague or East Berlin. And because there is still time to see the West's most wayward capital before it capitulates completely to capitalism.
Beam down
The only airlines flying non-stop are Cubana (020-7734 1165, www.cubana.cu/ingles) and British Airways (0845 77 333 77, www.britishairways.com), which fly once and twice a week respectively from Gatwick to Havana. Fares for the BA non-stops are high - around £500 - so you may do better to find a city break package. There are also good deals from a range of UK airports on Air France, through discount agents. The specialist South American Experience (020-7976 5511), for example, can organise a four-night trip from any UK airport served by Air France, going out Friday, returning on the Monday overnight flight. It costs £625, including accommodation at the Hotel Florida, based on two sharing. From the international terminal at the airport, there is little option but to pay the $25 (£17) or so demanded by a cab driver to take you into town. In the country of the peso, the US dollar is king.
Get your bearings
The Caribbean's biggest city has three cores, strung out along the Atlantic coast. The oldest, and the place you will spend most time, is Habana Vieja (Old Havana), the almond-shaped area that still boasts scraps of the old city walls. Next along, Centro Habana is, frankly, even more of a slum than the rest of the capital - but, if you keep your wits about you, it is one of the most intriguing parts of the city. Vedado, the new quarter to the west, is the revolutionary and commercial hub of Havana. These districts are linked by the most abysmal selection of public transport you have ever seen, plus taxis and cycle-taxis, but the most rewarding way to see them is to walk. To get a view of the whole magnificent decrepitude, head further west to the Model of the City, housed in a hangar on Calle 28 between Avenidas 1 and 3; an extraordinarily detailed wooden model gives an overview of the capital.
Check in
The optimum place to stay is the newly restored 1885 courtyard that has re-opened as the Hotel Florida (00 53 7 62 41 27) on Calle Obispo, right in the middle of Old Havana. Rooms are arranged around a cool courtyard, dappled with light, and are well worth the $105 (£72) rate for a double room; it is worth nipping in here for a beer even if you are staying in the perennially cheerful and grotty Caribbean on the Prado (00 53 7 62 20 71), where rooms are half the price. Even cheaper, there are plenty of homes offering private rooms to foreigners at about $30 (£21) for a double, but most of these are in Centro Habana; they are banned within Old Havana.
Take a ride
Almost anything that moves in Havana can be construed as a taxi but, from an aesthetic point of view, the only way to travel is in a pre-1959 American saloon car. Plenty of them ply the streets of Havana, but the best way to feel like an extra in Buena Vista Social Club is to pick up a collective taxi on the fringes of Old Havana and Centro Habana - for example, those that congregate to the east of the massive dome of the Capitolio - and from there head across to the old Mafia haunts of Miramar.
Take a hike
The main square is the Parque Central, which is the hub of the city's life. From here, make your way east along Calle O'Reilly - named after Alejandro O'Reilly, who hailed from Spain rather than Ireland - through deliciously complex layers of colonialism, communism and community. Then, take a promenade around the Plaza de Armas, nod in the direction of Ernest Hemingway at the Ambos Mundos hotel (and toll the bell that stands opposite), then return along Calle Obispo. When you reach the main square at the end of this zig-zag back along Calle Obrapia. You can keep this up all morning, uncovering all manner of curiosities, and being hissed at once per block by someone intent on offering cheap cigars, rum or sex.
The icing on the cake
Take the lift to the top of the Jose Marti memorial on Revolution Square. Che smiles up at you while you survey the whole heroic mess that is the Caribbean's largest and greatest city. And, by the way, that heavily guarded building behind you is the office of Fidel Castro.
A walk in the park
Las Ruinas stands in the Parque Lenin, an open space studded with Marxist memorabilia that has outlasted the collapse of Communism elsewhere in the world. Or, much closer to the centre of town, visit the Jardin de Diana, established in 1998 to celebrate another icon: Diana, Princess of Wales.
Bracing brunch
The concept of Sunday brunch has not permeated deep into the consciousness of the average Cuban restaurateur. But take a cab 10 miles south to Las Ruinas, an ambitious 1960s structure wrapped around the lichen-covered walls of an old plantation house, sumptuously furnished and embellished with some impressive modern Cuban art - a setting so extraordinary that you probably won't care about the food.
Sunday morning: go to church
The church and convent of Santa Clara, at the west end of the street of that name, is a wonderfully airy, cool and calm place - a welcome respite from the rest of Havana. Play your rosary right, and you may be invited to visit the crypt. Or wander into the lopsided cathedral, which once held the bones of Christopher Columbus.
Demure dinner
In Cuba? Little chance of that. If you want to lose weight, so the saying goes, head for Havana. The food is generally lousy, even in the paladares - private restaurants seating fewer than 12 people - but at least in these places there is some chance that the ingredients may be fresh. The supply of paladares fluctuates; if you have difficulty in tracking one down, plenty of people will help you.
An aperitif
"My mojito in La Bodeguita", Hemingway was fond of saying - but in the Fifties, La Bodeguita del Medio wasn't an unashamed tourist trap and one of the most expensive bars in Havana, charging more for its signature cocktail of rum, lime, soda, sugar, ice and mint than the average Cuban earns in a week. For a chaser, head to the Bar de Bilbao, a hilariously drunken dive on the corner of Calles Obispo and Aguilar.
Window shopping
The retail revolution in Havana can be carbon-dated to the moment in 1994 when Castro deflected insurrection by decreeing that, henceforth, it was legal for Cubans to possess dollars. But an economy crippled by the US economic blockade produces precious little that you might actually want to buy, apart from cigars, rum and, in the tourist market fringing the old town, some impressive and low-priced percussion instruments.
Cultural afternoon
Fidel would be pleased if you call in at the Presidential Palace. Not his heavily guarded headquarters, of course, but the residence of the dictator he deposed: Fulgencio Batista. This has become the Museum of the Revolution, repository of the heritage of Che Guevara and his comrades, including the caskets that bore their remains back from Bolivia, and a single sock that once belonged to the revolutionary.
Lunch on the run
An entire cottage industry of fast(ish) food takeaways has emerged in Old Havana and Centro Habana. The standard offering is "pizza", a tepid mix of dough and an approximation to dough, which costs five pesos (about 15p) a slab.
