A $1,000 Day in London for $100 By SETH KUGEL Our traveler, more pauper than prince, still manages to see much of London on a full stomach and a tight budget.

Cheap Flights with low cost, charter and other airlines: find cheap air tickets All The World's a Stage Cheap Flights & Travel Deals Montreal - Anywhere That Gormandizer Man: How London buses are numbered - TfL come up trumps! I tweeted yesterday that I'd received the most interesting email I'd ever been sent. I think that's still true. As a Planner, I'm supposed to be interested in everything. Well, regardless of whether I should or shouldn't be interested in everything, I am. It's just the person I am. When I don't fully understand something, I try and find the answer or some context to the subject. Last week I was waiting for the bus and wondered why they are numbered as they are, and why some have letters in front of a number. I emailed the following note to TfL: I just have a simple question that I'm hoping you can explain to me. I'm just wondering can you explain the number system to me please? Thanks Well, yesterday I received this response. We appreciate the importance of route numbers to London's bus passengers. The numbering of London's bus routes has evolved slowly since the earliest days of regular bus operation in the capital. How interesting is that!?
National Palace Museum - 100 Museums to Visit Before You Die Museums aren't just for people who love art and design. In truth, a museum is a place for anyone who's broadly interested in culture, whether it be their own or that of another people, country, or era. The "museum" is simply the building or vessel from which history, including the history of the present, is contained. Most museums aren't just for browsing artworks and getting a souvenir at the gift shop, though. Many are often a sight to marvel at from outside, featuring architecture that even casual observers can appreciate. Some on this list are as specific as the Museum of Transportation, the Titanic Museum, and the Simone Handbag Museum, and some are as broad as the Tokyo National Museum and the de Young Museum. If you haven't already gotten the point, a museum can be a fascinating place, and no one is the same as the next.
CULTURE MUSICALE • Une baguette pour changer le monde | Courrier Le jeune chef d’orchestre Vénézuélien, Gustavo Dudamel, est le nouveau visage d’El Sistema, une méthode d’enseignement de la musique à destination des plus pauvres. Ceux qui croient que les chanteuses d’opéra doivent être grosses, les pianistes romantiques et les chefs d’orchestre irascibles, despotiques et dépourvus de sens de l’humour, ceux-là resteraient sans voix face à la personnalité du Vénézuélien Gustavo Dudamel. Voilà un maestro qui ne se prend pas au sérieux. Il est capable de soulever une salle entière pour faire danser le mambo aux spectateurs. Il a hérité de son père Oscar, qui fut tromboniste dans plusieurs orchestres latinos du Venezuela, un côté chaleureux et piquant. Pour Gustavo, si la musique est avant tout émotion et gaieté, elle doit aussi servir à changer le monde. Gustavo Dudamel vient d’un pays du Sud, le Venezuela, où depuis plus de trente ans l’art et la musique sont devenus des armes de développement social. Gustavo Dudamel est le nouveau visage du projet.
28 Places to See Before You Die—the Taj Mahal, Grand Canyon and More | Life Lists Editor’s Note: We’ve since expanded our life list to 43 sites around the world for wildlife lovers, adventure seekers and those seeking just a respite from their busy schedules. "We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to," novelist Graham Greene once wrote. A growing number of Americans of all ages are embracing that idea by renewing a resolve to live life to its fullest. Exhibit A is the recent popularity of "life lists"—itineraries of things to do and places to go before taking the ultimate trip to the Great Beyond. Bookstores brim with titles such as 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die and—for the high-minded—Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die. Life list experts (yes, there are such beings) advise people not to set themselves up for disappointment by trying to accomplish too much. Whether you visit only a couple of these destinations or all 28, your life will be enriched by the experience.
The Elizabethan Insult Sirrah. Contrary to popular belief this word does not substitute for "sir". Remember that this word is considered an insult and only used to redress bad children, lazy servants, or downright rogues. E.g. "Sirrah, by my maidenhead I do not believe a single word that you have professed to be true. You are a rogue and scoundrel. Fellow. Many people have seen this in some shape or form or another. In order to use this insult generator choose one word from each column and combine them using "Thou art a(n)..." "Thou art a churlish, dismal-dreaming fustilarian." If you wish to make a longer, more interesting insult you could choose more than one word from columns one and two and combine them. "Thou art an artless, crook-pated, fawning, mewling, elf-skinned puttock." Feel free to add your own adjectives to the list as you get more comfortable with the process.

NATATION • Le grand âge n’est pas une noyade | Courrier internat Championne de natation à 97 ans ? C’est possible, comme en témoigne l’histoire de Bernarda, une arrière-grand-mère espagnole qui repousse les limites de l’âge en nageant, raconte El País Semanal. Repères Alors que les statisticiens, au début du XXe siècle, tablaient sur une longévité maximale de 64 ans, il existe aujourd’hui dans le monde quelque 200 000 personnes ayant dépassé les 110 ans. “Petit à petit, je me suis retrouvée toute seul. Championne d’Europe 200 mètres, 100 mètres et 50 mètres dos. Née dans la province de Las Palmas aux Canaries en 1912, Bernarda Angulo détient deux records mondiaux de natation dans la catégorie des 95 à 99 ans : 400 mètres dos en bassin de 25 mètres et 400 mètres libres en bassin de 50 mètres. Depuis plus de cinquante ans, elle habite un quartier modeste de Las Palmas, au troisième étage d’un immeuble sans ascenseur. “Je nage mieux que je ne marche”, reconnaît-elle sans la moindre ironie. Son mari tenait une épicerie.
