This short journey is the perfect introduction to the amazing and varied wildlife that call the Galapagos Islands home, it is astounding how close our encounters will be with the animals.
Your trip starts in Quito today and there will be a welcome meeting in the evening.
You can arrive at any time during the day as there are no activities planned until this important meeting; please check with the hotel reception where and when it will take place, or check the reception notice boards. If you can't arrange a flight that will have you arrive at the hotel by early evening, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).
Quito is located at 2850 metres above sea level and at this altitude you may possibly experience some effects from the high altitude, so we suggest that you avoid any strenuous activity on this day. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978, this charming colonial centre offers a wealth of things to see and you could lose yourself for hours meandering through the narrow, winding cobblestone streets and exploring the lively Plaza Grande and Plaza San Francisco. The city is filled with Baroque art and architecture, as exemplified by magnificent churches, monasteries and public buildings. If your feel like exploring further afield, you might like to head for one of the many viewpoints over the city. El Panecillo (The Little Bread Loaf) offers sensational views of the city's white houses and surrounding volcanoes. The 30-metre high statue of La Virgen de Quito sits atop this small hill and can be seen from all over the city. Incredible vistas can also be enjoyed from La Cima de la Libertad, the site of Ecuadorian independence from Spain.
Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner
This morning we transfer to Quito Airport for our early morning flight to the Galapagos Islands. Be prepared for an early start as this could mean leaving the hotel as early as 4am. A US$10 per person transit card is payable on departure at Quito Airport and a US$100 per person national park entry fee is payable on arrival. Please have cash on hand for these transactions as using credit cards can be time consuming.
On arrival in the Galapagos we are met in the arrivals hall and then transferred to our boat, the Nemo III, anchored a short distance away. Once on board we'll be assigned our cabins, meet the crew members and get to know our naturalist guide and fellow travellers over a delicious lunch.
The sandy, white beaches of Las Bachas on the north shore of Santa Cruz Island are a nesting site for the Pacific green turtle, and marine iguanas are also commonly seen. The sand here is particularly white and soft as it is made of decomposed coral. The rocks provide great snorkelling and are the perfect habitat for the Sally Lightfoot crabs, which are plentiful on the island. A saltwater lagoon near to the beach is home to flamingo and whimbrel, and also look out for great blue herons. Remnants of a floating pier can still be sighted, and it is a testimony to the US presence in the Galapagos during World War II.
Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner
It takes us an overnight sail to reach Genovesa the archipelagos north east outpost, but it is undeniably worth the voyage. Dolphins are often spotted in the waters around Genovesa while the island itself is one of abundant beauty, with varying landscapes and wonderful wildlife. It is also a twitcher's paradise, with all three kinds of boobies, including the rare red-footed booby, and numerous other species such as tropic birds and frigate birds. Walking the steep path known as Prince Philip's Steps get us into the heart of the seabird rookeries, with birds overhead and nesting among the cliffs. On the island's rocky plains we look out for storm petrels - Genovesa is the only place in the world where they can be seen flying during the day. Afterwards cool off with a snorkel!
Darwin Beach is another superb site with large breeding colonies of seabirds and frigates and other birds such as lava herons, swallowed tail gulls, mocking birds and hopefully the vampire finch. During the walk we will pass by tide pools with playful Sea Lions and Diamond Sting Rays and the island's magnificent marine life makes for spectacular snorkelling and the chance of encountering manta rays, sharks, turtles and moray eels along with many fish.
Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner
On Santiago's eastern coast sits Bahia Sullivan also known as James Island. We will walk on Pahoe-Hoe lava from an eruption that occurred in 1897, and witness the colonization of plant species since the last eruption. Hopefully see some Marine iguanas, Sally Lightfoot Crabs, Sea Lions, Finches, Turtles, Sharks and sometimes Penguins. As we walk, our guide will inform us of the geological history of the islands.
We then set sail for Cerro Dragon (Dragon Hill), on Santa Cruz's north coast. From our dry landing we walk to a brackish lagoon frequented by lagoon birds including stilts, pintail ducks, sandpipers, sanderlings and occasionally flamingos. Further inland, the trail offers a beautiful view of the bay and the western area of the archipelago. This area is a nesting site for land iguanas, which is constantly monitored and assisted by the Charles Darwin Research Station. The arid-zone vegetation makes for a rewarding location for birdwatching, with Darwin's finches, Galapagos mockingbirds, the endemic Galapagos flycatcher and yellow warblers all regulars here. The path can be challenging but we'll be well rewarded with a spectacular view of the bay!
Meals included: 1 breakfast
Today we visit Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the Galapagos.
The small town of Puerto Ayora is the economic hub of the archipelago, and is also home to the Charles Darwin Research Station. The station's visitor centre and museum are essential stops for anyone interested in the archipelago's natural and human history, and keen to learn more about conservation efforts to preserve the unique ecosystems of the Galapagos. It also offers our best chance for close-up encounters with giant tortoises, and we can see many newborn and young giant turtles - part of the breeding program to reintroduce them to their natural habitat. Observe the Giant Opuntia and Jasminocereus cactus trees. Leisure time to explore Puerto Ayora, check email or have a drink at a local bar and see the local's way of life.
Sadly all good things must come to an end and this is our final excursion. We say farewell to The Galapagos Islands and head to the airport for our flight back to Quito for the last night of the tour. Upon arrival in Quito Airport we are transferred back to our hotel for an overnight stay.
Meals included: 1 breakfast
Our adventure ends today after breakfast.
There are no activities planned for the final day so we are able to depart the accommodation at any time. There are many fascinating things to do in and around Quito so please speak to our customer service representative about any optional activities that might be of interest.
On arrival in the islands you must pay the US$100 national park fee to enter Galapagos National Park and a US$10 transit fee.

Hi guys,
I wasn't going to post the progress of this project, because I am building this for a local contest this July, but I figure I need the motivation to keep with it as it progresses. I tend to not get 100% finished with things, so it will help to have an audience. I hope.
Anyway, this Ed Pink front engine dragster will be easily the most advanced and optimistic build I have attempted, only having really done OOB kit builds with wiring and good paint details. I'm tremendously excited about this car for a lot of reasons, but mainly because this car has been restored by Pete Eastwood for Cacklefest and there is a ton of documentation and photo detail of this car. It was even the focus of a 1964 Hot Rod Magazine 2-issue build article following Don Long building the actual car (which I actually found the original issues). It was built in 1964 and competed in the 1965 NHRA Top Fuel class winning in it's first time on the track at the Winternationals in 1965. It has a spectacular pedigree and a wonderful amount of reference material to use in the build.
So, here we go...

Bahawalpur South Punjab

|Largest city
|• Type

|Provincial Assembly
|Time zone
|Assembly seats
Bahawalpur South Punjab (BSP; Urdu: جنوبی پنجاب بہاولپور) was the name of a new province proposed by Pakistan Peoples Party Government in the National assembly of Pakistan in January 2013.[2] to be created in the southernmost region of Pakistan's Punjab province, partially as a response to the demands of speakers of Multani and Derwi dialect of Western Punjabi language. However due to following criticism the proposal could not materialize.
Nine out of 13 districts to be included in the proposed province have rejected the proposal, citing the following reasons:
- There is majority Punjabi population in five districts who identify themselves with north Punjab rather than South Punjab (Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, Vehari, Khanewal, Mianwali and Bhakkar).
- Baloch people are in majority in the districts of Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur who identify them selves with Baloch identity. They want their own separate Koh-Suleman province.
- The popular demands of the residents of Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan is a separate province in the steps of the former princely state Bahawalpur.
In remaining four districts Multan,Muzaffargarh, Layyah, Lodhran nearly 75% population is Majhi dialect of Punjabi speaking who objected to creation of a separate province based on linguistic criteria.
Additionally, the political parties campaigning for the creation of Saraikistan also rejected the new province as incompatible with their agendas, while Pakistan People's Party denounced the proposal as a "political stunt".[citation needed]

Seating was great! Was alittle disappointed that they did not do a tribute to Davy Jones ~ was kind of looking forward to that but it never happen. They didn't even talked about him which i thought was kind of odd. Other then that parking & location all was great!

I think the Monkees can still sing, but could not tell from the concert I saw. I don't know if it was because we were in the balcony, or if the sound was poorly mixed, but it was impossible to hear them over the band.

The music was so loud it was hard to hear the singers. Everyone was standing so it was hard to see the stage. People were hooting & hollering which was annoying.

Johns Folly Villa Rental Photos and Description
2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, 1 Half Bathroom, Sleeps 4.
MAV SUN, also referred to as Sunset Watch, is a unique 2-story home perched directly above Virgin Gorda's Nail Bay Beach, with expansive ocean, sunset & green island views beyond. This charming, gingerbread villa is comprised of 2 independent levels, the Upper & Lower Decks, making it ideal for 2 couples. *MAV SUN may be rented either as a 2-bedroom villa (for the utmost in privacy), or as 2 independent 1-bedroom suites (see below).
MAV SUN's Upper Deck opens onto a large, L-shaped covered verandah, comfortably furnished with a sink-into sofa & armchairs, dining table for 6, and hammock - the perfect spot to laze away idle hours reading, napping, watching passing yachts, savoring sunsets & stargazing! The Upper Deck is a compact but well-equipped pied-a-terre, offering a gourmet kitchen with breadmaker, Cuisinart, wine cooler, wet bar, etc. This in turn opens onto a small living area with a 180-degree ocean view. From here, screened glass sliders lead out onto the beautiful sunset-view verandah. The Upper Deck's king bedroom features a generous ensuite bath with double sinks, bidet & exotic alfresco shower.
On the Lower Deck of MAV SUN, a shaded garden patio ushers guests into an attractive sitting room with well-equipped kitchen area. A separate king bedroom features a handpainted mural, as well as ensuite bath with double sinks, jacuzzi tub (with shower) & additional exotic alfresco shower. The Lower Deck's adjacent garden patio is suitably arranged for alfresco dining. PLEASE NOTE: as MAV SUN provides no interconnection between the Upper & Lower Decks, the villa is inappropriate for small children.
Just below MAV SUN is an expansive terrace & swimming pool, amid lush tropical landscaping for perfect privacy, and offering chaise lounges & an umbrella. A few steps away from the pool deck is another spacious terrace overlooking the superb sea vistas. This area has an alfresco canvas-roofed dining pavilion, gas grill, bar & bench seating, and additional chaises, perfect for outdoor island living. A stone staircase leads from the gardens to Nail Bay Beach, ideal for strolling on the sands, beachcombing or snorkeling. Excellent swimming may be enjoyed at nearby Mountain Trunk Bay (1-minute drive/10-minute walk), or at unspoiled, nearly-deserted Long Bay Beach (5-minute drive), Virgin Gorda's best-kept secret!
MAV SUN is a private & charming sanctuary with its Caribbean gingerbread trim & tropical flowers - a wonderful location for a comfortable villa holiday. Nail Bay's spa, restaurant & bar are a short, convenient walk from the villa, and historic 19th-century stone ruins of the former Nail Bay sugar plantation are also within walking distance. Virgin Gorda's markets, restaurants & watersport activities may be reached within an easy 15-20-minute ride from MAV SUN.
All guests renting Sunset Watch Upper/Lower/both levels may use the Nail Bay beaches, the tennis court (open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily), and the community swimming pool at no additional charge, and may also patronize the bar and restaurant in Nail Bay.
* Rates shown are for combined 2 bedrooms (Upper & Lower Decks). If guests opt to rent either independently as a 1-bedroom suite, the other suite will likely be rented to other guests & the pool will be shared, thus compromising privacy. Please ask your Wimco agent for these special 1-bedroom rates.
- Thanksgiving rentals require a 7-night minimum. - Security Deposit payable on arrival with credit card.

G.E. Small-Scale Appliances
This month marks my 10th year writing Small Spaces and as I look back over the decade, I note with amusement that, suddenly, small is really a hot topic. We have a bona fide small-house movement progressing in this country at last! There is nothing sudden about the popularity of living in the just the right size home, but no doubt one side effect of the declining real estate market is the renewed interest in smaller homes by many more people.
In the beginning days of this column, it was quite difficult to offer the American consumer specific information about how to buy products that made the design and function of a small home easy. Many items that I wrote about in those early years were only available in Europe, Japan or Australia. I do remember many times wishing aloud that the U.S. manufacturers would get on the bandwagon and offer appliances and furnishings that were designed with the smaller home in mind.
Downsizing is quite popular for two reasons right now: One is the 80 million strong Generation Y, or echo boomer generation, being enthusiastic about living in very reduced spaces and the other is that their parents, the graying baby boomers, are beginning to down-size in serious numbers. For some, the move is directly tied to the sagging economy. For others, the idea of living beneath one's means is critical in order to compensate for investment losses and unexpected financial setbacks.
The appliances featured here are made by the well-known G.E. Consumer & Industrial, a company that spans the globe as an industry leader in major appliances. Not only are the reduced dimensions space-savers, the sizes are energy conserving and follow the principal of just enough instead of overkill. First is the Monogram series Spacemaker 18-inches-wide slim dishwasher. The 18 inches instead of a standard 24-inches-wide dishwasher saves 6 precious inches when laying out major appliances in your work triangle.
Next, the GE stainless electric range that is only 24 inches wide and saves another valuable 6 inches.
These days, another concept gaining traction is the idea of improving, not moving! If, when you remodel your old kitchen, you include space-saving appliances, you can gain function without moving walls beyond the existing footprint of your home.
Keep in mind a couple of well-known money saving tips when you embrace a kitchen renovation: Leave the plumbing where it is and try not to move bearing walls. The most attractive quality about living in a smaller home is the simplification of lifestyle. You won't find yourself entertaining scores of people when your dishwasher is only intended for two. However, you might meet friends for picnics at concerts on the green or gather at a favorite restaurant instead. Everyone who has prepared a Thanksgiving meal for 10 knows what a big job it can be and there is something to be said for alternative methods of enjoying friends and family. Less clutter, less complication and more tranquility is the goal for the small-home aficionado.

Watch a Grammys Spot Featuring Bon Iver's "Holocene"
By Carrie Battan on January 31, 2012 at 11:07 a.m. EST
Justin Vernon might not be crazy about Grammys, but the Grammys still seem to love him. First we got that chintzy Bon Iver promo poster, and now the Recording Academy has put together this Grammys commercial set to the tune of "Holocene" as part of their "We Are Music" campaign, Stereogum points out. The awards air on February 12.
Check Out Bon Iver's Grammy Poster
By Carrie Battan on January 23, 2012 at 11:01 a.m. EST

"We should not be gathering in a big room and looking at each other and pretending this is important." If you recall, that's Bon Iver's Justin Vernon telling The New York Times months ago about how he feels about the Grammy Awards (before he knew he'd be nominated for four of them this year). If only we could turn back time and show Vernon this promotional poster, below, made as part of the Grammys' We Are Music campaign.
The Avalanches Attack Bon Iver Over Whiskey Advertisements, Grammys
By Carrie Battan on December 5, 2011 at 11:04 a.m. EST
Photo by Erez Avissar
The anti-Grammy comments that Bon Iver's Justin Vernon made earlier this year to The New York Times have earned Vernon some harsh criticism from the Avalanches. On Twitter this morning, the Avalanches attacked Vernon for dismissing artists who desire Grammy Awards, while he himself appears in advertisements for a liquor company.
Bon Iver's Justin Vernon on the Grammys: "Ridiculous", "Not Important"
By Carrie Battan on December 2, 2011 at 3:55 p.m. EST
Photo by Tom Spray
Update: Vernon has posted a tepidly remorseful Tweet about his original Grammy sentiments. "well, thanks to @joncaramanica … :) Everyone now knows how I felt back last February about the grammies. Room to grow, but I agree mostly", he wrote.
If Bon Iver does end up winning one of the four Grammy Awards they've been nominated for, it probably won't mean a whole lot to Justin Vernon.
The New York Times has posted previously unpublished excerpts from an interview with Vernon that took place months before the nominations. He's none too fond of the idea of the Grammys, which he said he never believed he'd be a contender for.

Video: Okkervil River Debut New Non-Album Track "Weave Room Blues" on "Jimmy Fallon"
By Tom Breihan on February 16, 2011 at 5:10 p.m. EST
Last month, Okkervil River dropped by "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" to debut the new song "Wake and Be Fine". That song will be on their new album I Am Very Far, which arrives May 10 via Jagjaguwar. And while the band was in the studio, they also performed a non-album B-side, "Weave Room Blues", as a web exclusive, which has now been posted. In the performance, the New Pornographers' A.C. Newman and the Roots' Damon "Tuba Gooding Jr." Bryson backed the band. Check out the video below.
Arcade Fire Win the Album of the Year Grammy
By Tom Breihan on February 13, 2011 at 11:40 p.m. EST
When Arcade Fire were nominated for a Grammy for Album of the Year for The Suburbs, it was a wonderful long-shot moment. But tonight, they actually won, beating Grammy-night juggernauts Eminem, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Lady Antebellum. The first thing Win Butler said from the podium: "What the hell?" That about sums it up.
Arcade Fire to Perform at the Grammys
By Tom Breihan on January 12, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. EST
World-conquering Canadian rockers Arcade Fire are up for three Grammy Awards this year, including the all-important Album of the Year award for The Suburbs. And now, the Recording Academy has announced that Arcade Fire will perform at the Grammy Awards ceremony, which CBS will broadcast on February 13 at 8pm Eastern. That right there is a big TV moment in the making.
Arcade Fire are also taking part in the Grammys' interactive promotional campaign, Music Is Life Is Music, which includes a website and mobile app. The image you see above will appear in print ads and billboards across the country.
Arcade Fire Nominated for Three Grammy Awards, Including Album of the Year
By Amy Phillips on December 2, 2010 at 12:05 a.m. EST
Arcade Fire have been nominated for one of the music industry's highest honors: the Grammy for Album of the Year for The Suburbs. They're up against some stiff competition: Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster, Eminem's Recovery, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, and Lady Antebellum's Need You Now.
Arcade Fire were also nominated for Best Alternative Music Album, where they're up against Vampire Weekend, Band of Horses, the Black Keys, and Broken Bells, and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals for "Ready to Start", where they're up against the Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Muse, and, um, Jeff Beck and Joss Stone. The Black Keys were nominated for five Grammys: Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals, Best Rock Instrumental Performance, Best Recording Package and Best Rock Song. Check out the full list of nominees here.
Phoenix, David Byrne and Brian Eno, Neil Young Win Grammys
By Tom Breihan on February 1, 2010 at 12:10 p.m. EST
Last year, the Grammy award show was unusually exciting, trotting out Radiohead and the insane Jay-Z/Lil Wayne/Kanye West/T.I./pregnant M.I.A. star-wattage onslaught. This year, we got Will.I.Am in a Destro mask, Quentin Tarantino's insanely funny introduction speech for Drake, BeyoncĂŠ randomly doing Alanis Morissette, and Lady Gaga and Elton John dropped down a funhouse mineshaft.
But, as usual, many worthy awards didn't make the telecast itself.

The fabric is really pretty, which colour did you use for the lining inside?
I love the simplicity and the fact that you can make it in about 10 minutes.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Dear All
In my typeface, lets say there are two words: hello and, (see attached makeshift example image), when I select the word: hello, in italic in InDesign the right word: and, comes way too much to the left, why does this happen and how do I correct this in FontLab? Basically the italic selected word does not increase or keep the same the space on the right of the word: hello>
The space is a character that you can edit the advance width of in Fontlab. If you want to make any sequence of glyphs be the same width, then you must make it so in the two fonts, that they have identical advance widths (and kerning).
Perhaps this is already being done, but....
In terms of the relationship between upright and italic, generally after you slant* the italic, you need to also shift all the glyphs slightly to the left, to compensate for their new lean to the right.
The amount of the shift is arguable. Do you do the compensation based on making up for the italics at half the x-height, or half the cap height, or something in between? I tend to go about 50-60% of x-height....
So the amount of shift is about 1/2 * xheight * [sin (italic angle)].
* Of course it is usually more than just slanting.
[EDIT: fixed error in formula!]
Hi, thanks, yes the word space is actually the same. When the italic is selected in InDesign it slightly does not keep the right word space/bearing/side measurement, the attached image might help as well? When the italic is selected it looks like it is nearly touching the roman weight?
Are you saying that is not an accurate reflection of how the italic "h" sits between its sidebearings? What I'm seeing there makes it look as if you have not made the left shift I described above. The purpose of that is essentially to re-center the x-height portion of the letter between the sidebearings.
.... When the italic is selected it looks like it is nearly touching the roman weight?
If you work with FL, you have 4 options as a reference to slant transformation: "Zero Point, Center of Selection, Bottom Left Corner, and Reference Point". What happens to your description seems to use the reference "zero point" or "Bottom left corner". If you choose the "center of selection", then you'll get a glyph (some still do) amid heavy point glyph box. This will solve the problem of individual glyphs. But will most likely change the composition of the kerning and metrics when applied to all existing glyphs.
IMHO, indeed more appropriate to use the reference "zero point" or "Bottom left corner" but it should do a re-adjustment as the value that has been suggested by Thomas. Or a practical way: subtract the left bearing with a specified value (eg -10) but you have to add +10 on the right bearing. This is I called a "zero sum balance" aims to glyph still get the same size of glyph box. This method is more stable against possibility of changing the composition of kerning
@Thomas ... Thanks for your formula. it's interesting to try
Best Regatds.
OOPS, error in my formula! Should be 1/2 * xheight * [sin (italic angle)]. Somehow I got a divide instead of a multiply. (I went back and edited it in my original post, too. I just don't want to leave anybody messed up who just reads it there.)
Note also that if you use Excel, it expects angles in radians rather than degrees. The Excel version of my formula would be:
Where "n" is the italic angle and "x" is the x-height. You can bump up that 0.5 a little to maybe even 0.6, if you want to accomodate caps and letters with ascenders a bit more.
BTW, the "average" results of my formula, with a 1000-unit em, a 500-unit x-height, and an 11 degree italic angle, should be about 47 units to shift.
* * * *
"IMHO, indeed more appropriate to use the reference "zero point" "
I agree whole-heartedly. For a starting point for italics, that's about the only sane thing to do. Then do the global left shift on the whole font.
Of course, that transformed glyph may be just a placeholder for one that has been properly reshaped. Even in a sans serif, you'll need to do something else to get your round letters the right shape. But having that initial auto-transform might still be helpful for positioning/spacing.
Of course, I suck at spacing anyway, feel free to ignore me. :)
@Thomas, I've tried.
Your formula is a mathematical approach that makes the most sense. And I think it's also a good reason that we should not use the value arbitrarily. :-)
Best regards

NatWest CricketForce T-shirts update
ECB are currently finalising plans for the production of T-shirts to be distributed to NatWest CricketForce clubs.
Once details have been confirmed, we will be contacting all the registered clubs to let them know how many T-shirts they will be receiving and when.
In addition, ECB are quite happy for clubs to have their own T-shirts made up for volunteers to wear on CricketForce weekend.
However, we would ask that they use the correct NatWest CricketForce 2005 design and logo - which can be found here on ecb.co.uk for download.
If clubs have secured their own sponsor or benefactor, they can print their name, if they wish, only on the left hand sleeve of T-shirts.
Any further queries re this subject, please email firstname.lastname@example.com

Air Jordan 8 Doernbecher – Release Reminder by Patrick Johnson 7 Comments
November 6, 2012 BY Brendan Dunne / 0
As soon as you seen an Air Jordan PE in low form it's hard not to immediately think "Mike Bibby", the player who has singularly dominated that category like none other during his Team Jordan tenure. That thought would once again be accurate here, the Air Jordan VIII Low pictured being a holdover from his days with the Sacramento Kings. The colorway actually comes in pretty close to 2003′s Air Jordan VIII low in white/chrome, these carrying a bit of purple for the team connection. Click through to peep the Air Jordan VIII Low 'Mike Bibby' PE and buy these now from innovative_shopping_concepts on eBay.

Royal Observatory information
Rising south of Queen's House, idyllic Greenwich Park climbs up the hill, affording stunning views of London from the Royal Observatory, which Charles II had built in 1675 to help solve the riddle of longitude.
Success was confirmed in 1884 when Greenwich was designated as the prime meridian of the world, and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) became the universal measurement of standard time.
In the north of the observatory is lovely Flamsteed House and the Meridian Courtyard (where you can stand with your feet straddling the western and eastern hemispheres); admission is by ticket. The southern half contains the highly informative and free Astronomy Centre and the Peter Harrison Planetarium (adult/child £6.50/4.50).

More great sketchnotes from Rasagy Sharma from Droidcon India for a talk called Humanize the Android
Humanize the Android original slides can be found on Slideshare.
One of Jen Myers' first sketchnotes, this from Brad Colbow's It's the Little Things talk at CodeMash. Great example that shows how a sketchnote can be two pens, a couple outlines/arrows/boxes, and words and still be super engaging.
Loving this bold red and black sketchnote captured at Eurosonic Noorderslag by Erik van der Pluijm, creative director for Business Models, Inc.
From Erik's blog post about the sketchnote:
Sketchnotes are a really interesting visual way to capture a story. They are made live, as the story is told. An image can capture a huge amount of information. It is much easier to re-tell the story using sketchnotes than it would be using written notes, as the images help you to remember what has been said. More clues for the brain means better recollection! Don't you want to keep your story alive and fresh?
Great work Erik!
Love, love LOVE these illustrative sketchnotes from Erin McHardy, captured at a talk by Doug March. Check out her full sketchnotes collection on Flickr

What: BoomBox
When: 9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29
Where: Waiting Room, 6212 Maple St.
Cost: $15
Phone: (402) 884-5353
Zion Godchaux – one-half of the duo that makes up mix master group BoomBox – was bound to get into music. His parents, Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux, performed with the Grateful Dead during most of the 1970s. That must be where the psychedelic vibe in his music comes from.
Godchaux and his partner, Russ Randolph (pictured above) have created an intriguing sound that blends classic rock and blues, vintage psychedelic rock and funky house beats. Together it's a very danceable groove, one that will be on display Wednesday, Jan. 29, at the Waiting Room, 6212 Maple St., in Benson.
You can get an earful of what BoomBox is playing by checking out the link at right. The video is a live clip of BoomBox performing "Mr. Boogie Man." Good stuff.
Wednesday's show begins at 9 p.m. with warm-up act Ramona. Tickets are $15. For more info, to waitingroomlounge.com.

Town Square
High-speed rail hits speedbump in its Caltrain partnership

The Voice fails to mention the key facts here, so it's impossible to assess whether this approach is a good idea -
- what was the projected time and cost to get from SF to LA originally as told to voters?
- assuming they do this blended approach with electrified Caltrain, what is the new estimated time & cost to get from SF to LA?
My understanding is that the original projections - used to convince people to vote for this - was a very fast trip at a low cost, and that the current estimate is that it will be much slower and cost much more.
And if that is true - how much slower (total time SF-LA) will it be due to the blended approach? And how much additional cost due to the blended approach?
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Timeline: India's efforts to curb gold imports
REUTERS - India, the world's top gold buyer, has taken a series of measures this year to curb demand for bullion - its second-biggest import after oil - as it looks to reduce its record trade deficit.
Following are the measures taken by the RBI and the government in 2013:
Jan 21 -- The government raises gold import duty by 2 percent to 6 percent.
Jan 22 -- The government more than doubles duty on raw gold to 5 percent.
Jan 30 -- Finance Minister P. Chidambaram says no plans for additional taxes or curbs on gold imports.
Feb 1 -- The RBI plans to introduce three to four gold-linked products in the next few months.
Feb 6 -- The RBI says it would consider imposing value and quantity restrictions on gold imports by banks.
Feb 14 -- The central bank relaxes rules on gold deposit schemes offered by banks by allowing lenders to offer the products with shorter maturities.
Feb 20 -- Trade ministry recommends suspending cheaper gold jewellery imports from Thailand.
Feb 28 -- India keeps its gold import duty unchanged in its annual national budget, defying industry expectations.
Feb 28 -- India proposes a transaction tax of 0.01 percent on non-agricultural futures contracts including precious metals.
March 1 -- Finance minister appeals to people not to buy so much gold.
March 18 -- The Reserve Bank of India says it is examining banks that sell gold coins and wealth management products to identify "systemic issues", with a view to closing any legal loopholes.
April 2 -- Finance Minister suggests unlikely to raise the import tax on gold further to avoid smuggling and would instead introduce inflation-indexed instruments.
May 3 -- The RBI restricts the import of gold on a consignment basis by banks.
June 3 -- Finance minister says India cannot afford high levels of gold imports and may review its import policy.
June 5 -- India hikes gold import duty by a third to 8 percent.
June 21 -- Reliance Capital (RLCP.NS) halts gold sales and investments in its gold-backed funds.
June 24 -- India's biggest jewellers' association asks members to stop selling gold bars and coins, about 35 percent of their business.
July 10 -- India's jewellers could continue a voluntary ban on sales of gold coins and bars for six months.
July 22 -- The RBI moves to tighten gold imports again, making them dependent on export volumes, but offers relief to domestic sellers by lifting restrictions on credit deals.

At press time, paroled killer Michael Lee Davis, also known as Walter Waldhauser Jr., was being held in the Collin County Jail without bail.
In the 1970s, Waldhauser arranged the contract murders of four Houston residents, including a 14-month-old boy. Though Waldhauser was convicted of three counts of capital murder and received three 30-year sentences, he was paroled in 1990 after serving less than 10 years in prison.
As recently reported in the Dallas Observer ["Death Merchant," October 22], Waldhauser then changed his name and made a new life in Dallas. He joined at least two other ex-convicts at a company called Southwest Viatical.
A viatical company purchases the life-insurance policies of the HIV-positive for pennies on the dollar, then collects the full insurance benefit when the client dies.
Following the story in the Observer and in the Observer's sister paper, the Houston Press, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles found that Waldhauser/Davis had violated the terms of his release, apparently by associating with known felons. Last Friday, police apprehended Waldhauser/ Davis at his home in Plano.
