London: Hyde Park, Notting Hill, Marble Arch and Bayswater Neighbourhood Guide

Hyde Park adjoins with Kensington Gardens in central-west London and together are 625 acres in size. You could spend an entire afternoon, or longer, in the parks just seeing everything they have to offer. 

Surrounding the parks are the affluent areas of Notting Hill to the north, and Kensington to the south, Marble Arch and Park Lane are to the east with Mayfair there too. All the areas around the parks are also worth exploring for their unique characteristics.

The areas around Bayswater and Paddington are particularly popular with travellers on a budget due to the amount of “motel” style accommodation in this central area.

What will be in iLife 2010 and iWork 2010?

UPDATE: Looking for a guide to iWork for the iPad? Click here. If you are thinking of buying a Mac for Christmas you might want to wait out for another month as January is the typical release month of the updates to the iLife and iWork suite 2010 and you don't get a free upgrade even if you've just bought a Mac the day before the release. iWork This is Apple's in-house equivalent to Microsoft Office with apps that, frankly, still aren't up to scratch when compared to Office. Pages 2010 - Increased compatibility, maybe to work with Office 2010. Keynote 2010 - More templates are likely to be added and maybe new transitions Numbers 2010 - Sample templates are also likely to be added here and more chart types. What is really needed is a Publisher replacement on a MaC. This could be done really well by Apple and could actually be a better product than Publisher itself. In 2008 Numbers was added to iWork, so a new program may be added to the suite later - and 201

It even includes a one-day hop-on, hop-off bus ticket on Golden Tours . A large selection of attractions are currently included in the London Pass.

Walt Disney World ICP - Day 43 - Return to Animal Kingdom...(and work) - 15th July 2013

In an effort to make the most of the next three and a half weeks I have left here, I have started to make the most of the time I have free before work, as well as my days off. I and Courtney arrived at Animal Kingdom at 11:15am and noticed that it was very, very busy. The busiest I had ever seen it - a little check of my WDW Lines app told me that it was morning Extra Magic Hours today, so that explained the extra guests. It was already quite warm so we opted to go onto Kali River Rapids. The Fastpass was for 3 hours time and we couldn't guarantee it wouldn't be raining then so we queued for 60 minutes. This is tied with the longest I have queued for anything - the other being Space Mountain. The incredibly well-themed Kali River Rapids queue. The 60 minutes was exactly accurate and the queue was extremely tedious. This is one that could definitely do with some interactivity, as well as a re-design of a fastpass lane. The queue itself extremely slow moving but is very
