I am taking my family to Ecuador for a couple of weeks at the end of this year. I am considering a visit to the Galapagos islands during this time. Can anyone recommend a tour company they have used? I am considering Stanford Travel http://www.stanfordtravel.com/ but interested if anyone has any experience with a tour company that works there. We are all healthy and active so not interested in a passive tour geared to seniors. The first week we are going to spend with the Cofán indigenous people in the rain forest, http://www.cofan.org/ (see Ecotours link). I saw Randy Borman (interesting guy) speak about the Cofán at a TEDx show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4yCdGB2NG4 and have made reservations with him to stay there. I can report back if anyone is interested in doing this type of activity. Post here or message me about Galapagos tour operators. Thanks

Hey Spun - I hope you have a wonderful time and TBD has added some great suggestions. I am in Paris periodically because I have family there and also for some business travel. I will provide some feedback which hopefully is a bit different from previous contributions. I like the islands in the center of Paris, Ile St-Louis and Ile de la Cité. The latter has Notre-Dame and there are other tourist sites around the islands for pics. Lots of nice bars, restaurants, specialty shops, gift shops, etc. along with viewing great architecture. Here is a link about the islands: http://www.fodors.com/world/europe/france/paris/neighborhoods/the-islands Also enjoy stopping at a nearby outdoor market (farmers market) wherever I stay. Great fresh food (one market I went to had 10 different types of oysters which were shucked on demand), and a possibility of some good pics. You never know what may be available at these markets but I/we pick up food and eat it as we move around the city. Also saves some $ on dining if that is a concern. Here's a link to markets by Arrondissement (sections) in Paris: http://goparis.about.com/od/farmers-markets/ Here is a link to the Arrondissements in Paris: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrondissements_of_Paris to find one near where you will be staying or ask your concierge for a nearby market.

East Coast Residents: Bunch of pansies
Mr Info replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
Thx, that brings me back to something I used to do...snow skitching. For those unfamiliar http://skiernet.com/skitching.phpor google it for videos. My favorite recollections are when a driver knew I was on & sped up. Then my boots would hit a dry patch in the road & I would fall off & tumble and bounce on the road for a good while. Nucking futs but what a great time. -

At Reagan Airport right now waiting for a flight that will be leaving in an hour. Most other flights here are showing cancelled but not worried about mine as it's going away from Jonas. Easiest drive I ever had to DC today as most everything was closed and people were off the roads. -

First, I hope that Mort is able to receive a treatment that will send this cancer into remission and the best to his family in friends in dealing with this difficult situation. Now I would like to provide some feedback to your post. I work in Pharma R&D Vaccines & Oncology and our objective is to find cures. I have never seen suppression of research because it was a cure and not a treatment. I think you will actually see more 'cures' for cancer and other diseases developing like the recent Hep C treatments, Certainly those are expensive but it is being demonstrated that these treatments, which will eradicate the disease, are less expensive than the ongoing cost of clinical, surgical, and palliative care that would be alternatively provided. You make a valid point about staying healthy to assist in preventing cancer. But that is a good suggestion for inhibiting many maladies such as Type II diabetes, stroke, hypertension, etc. Though immunosuppression may have some type of involvement in catalyzing cancer, there may also be contributing factors from the environment and genetics among others. Some proposed treatments involve combination therapies for these factors. What is becoming increasingly evident is the mutation of cancer cells. In this case, the traditional treatment approaches become ineffective. it is becoming more apparent that personalized precision medicines (i.e., genes, proteins, etc.) are undergoing development as potentially more effective treatments. Newer targeted therapies based on your genome and/or the cancer genome are emerging, Lots of people working long hours trying to provide better treatments or cures for cancer,

Pegulas announce Rex and Whaley will return in 2016
Mr Info replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am typically an optimistic fellow but the good Dr raises some points that are unrelated to scheme & roster. Hopefully, Rex can change but there's that whole thing about leopards & spots. I agree with Heitz and enjoy the game day experience regardless of a W/L. Longtime remote season ticket holder & the four of us are traveling 500 mi for the game this weekend. But my family lives in the area so it's also about that. Back on topic - would never give up my tix because we always have an awesome time but it certainly would be so much awesomer if the time between playoff appearances wasn't a generation. -

Can't help you on the Keurig but complete empathy about your child driving alone the first time. My son took a car to college & I found that even more difficult so you have that to ponder in the future. A couple of things to consider regarding your child driving your car. There are two options: 1.) Title/register the car in their name. He/she owns the car. This protects your liability but the cost of insurance will skyrocket. 2.) If the car title is in your name you may wish to have an umbrella policy to help limit your liability in the event of a catastrophic accident. This situation would be if something happened to someone else besides your child and you want to protect your assets in our highly litigious society.

Interesting side note: I am traveling to the US from Istanbul right now and the Turkish govt delayed the time switch to next weekend due to the PM election today.

Yes, all three previous Bonds, including Skyfall, are tied in.

Saw it on opening night at the Odeon in Canterbury while in the UK for work. No spoilers: I enjoyed the movie but I am a Bond acolyte so not very objective. Rank it behind Casino Royale as far as Craig's Bond movies. It ties together Craig's Bond flicks. It's a dark & long movie but plenty of action. I thought the storyline was predictable but most Bond flicks are. Good fight scene with Bautista on train. Not that impressed with Waltz as the villian. The experience at the theater was great: Odeon employees were dressed in tuxes and you could order champagne. They passed out Spectre posters at the end to everyone.
