Benedict Kiwanuka, brother of defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka, is in critical condition after a motorcycle crash Friday. Mathias also was also on his motorcycle at the time but avoided the crash and was not seriously injured.
The accident occurred in their hometown of Indianapolis reportedly when Benedict struck a car pulling out of an apartment complex. Witnesses say the motorcycle was speeding before the accident. The woman driver of the car was not seriously injured.
Police reports indicate Mathias Kiwanuka was thrown from his bike but not seriously hurt. He is obviously concerned about his brother, who was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Clyde Carson ft. Sean Kingston & The Game - In Da Club
Artist: Clyde Carson
Featuring: Sean Kingston, Game
Producer: Jonathan "J.R." Rotem
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 44 votes )
In July of '07, the Booth featured Clyde Carson's buzz single Doin' That; in addition to being Carson's first official single (and one of my first assignments at the Booth), it was also Sean Kingston's first guest verse. Though Carson's debut, Theater Music has remained on hiatus, a previously unreleased recording has surfaced in the Booth. In Da Club finds Carson once again alongside Kingston, and Black Wall Street boss The Game also hops aboard. Major accolades should be directed towards super-producer J.R. Rotem for a beat that contains so much of a techno sound, it could have easily gone to Wiz Khalifa. Although In Da Club was originally intended for inclusion on Theater Music, it is no longer slated to be featured on the album. Stay tuned to DJBooth for further developments on Clyde's recording future.

It's your turn to drive the carpool, so you pop out to the garage before you go to bed to make sure the car is plugged in, ensuring that there'll be enough power to pick everyone up and get to work in the morning. Fantasy, or reality? For the electric vehicle (EV) movement, it's a goal, but it might stall out before widespread adoption of EVs can even get off the ground, thanks to bickering between manufacturers over which charging standard to adopt.
As those of us with cell phones, laptops and other electronics know, conflicting charging standards can be a real pain. While universal charging seems like it should be an obvious goal for the electronics industry, it's not, which is why it becomes necessary to maintain a stack of chargers for a variety of equipment, many of which are very expensive if you need to replace them. With multiple companies producing electric vehicles and establishing their own proprietary charging systems, the problem is being repeated, only on a much larger scale.
GM, Ford, BMW and Volkswagon favor the International J1772 Combo Standard, developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Unfortunately, Japanese automakers prefer CHAdeMO, another fast-charging standard developed in Japan. The two systems are not compatible, which means that cars developed for one can't be charged with the other, and vice versa. Meanwhile, the Tesla Motor Company has another totally unrelated charging system, just to add to the confusion and the conflict over which way the industry should go.
For vehicle owners, this represents a problem, and it's an issue for public charging stations and similar resources; what kind of station should be installed? Putting in more than one is a gamble, and gets costly as well, but putting in the wrong one could be a major mistake, because drivers wouldn't be able to use it. Until the automakers make up their minds about which system will become the industry standard, it creates a significant form of limbo as people wait to see which system will dominate. The wait means that people are reluctant to adopt electric vehicles, because they can't make decisions until they know whether their cars will be chargeable in their communities.
While the automakers obviously want to push the systems they're comfortable with, and those they had a role in developing, something has to give here. It's in the best interests of the industry overall to designate a universal charging standard and stick with it, creating something that will allow any car to be plugged into any charger. If the industry can't make up its mind or holdout automakers insist on their own systems, we may be in for a fresh round of "who killed the electric car?"
There's a lot of money at stake in the debate over which system should become universal, and this, of course, is the major sticking point; if everyone is too stubborn to give, everyone loses, but no one is willing to walk away from the table leaving years of work and millions of dollars in research and development investment behind. Yet, that's exactly what is going to have to happen, and it might take government intervention to force the hands of the industry.
Meanwhile, the oil industry must be so delighted as the dithering over charging standards leaves the industry imbalanced and impatient for resolution.

Here is some information from a once proponent of electric cars.
Manufacturers and marketing agencies exploit the fact that every power source carries its own unique portfolio of side effects to create the terms of discussion that best suit their needs. Electric-car makers like to point out, for instance, that their vehicles can be charged from renewable sources, such as solar energy. Even if that were possible to do on a large scale, manufacturing the vast number of photovoltaic cells required would have venomous side effects. Solar cells contain heavy metals, and their manufacturing releases greenhouse gases such as sulfur hexafluoride, which has 23 000 times as much global warming potential as CO2, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Whats more, fossil fuels are burned in the extraction of the raw materials needed to make solar cells and wind turbinesand for their fabrication, assembly, and maintenance. The same is true for the redundant backup power plants they require. And even more fossil fuel is burned when all this equipment is decommissioned. Electric-car proponents eagerly embrace renewable energy as a scheme to power their machines, but they conveniently ignore the associated environmental repercussions.
Finally, most electric-car assessments analyze only the charging of the car. This is an important factor indeed. But a more rigorous analysis would consider the environmental impacts over the vehicles entire life cycle
Meanwhile, I assume an electric vehicle whether solely electric or plug in hybrid comes with a kit to install its charger in your garage. Also meanwhile, most travel is within a single battery charge range of home. And a plug-in hybrid is better for those who do travel a lot until this issue is settled.
Does this sound like our congress to anyone else or is it just me? If they don't get along, find solutions, and fix it they kill America.
Sounds like there could be money in developing the adapter that can take care of all the different types.
When I roll up to the pump I have three choices, regular, mid-grade and premium. So what's wrong with three "pumps" for the three types of chargers?
They are fighting over money AGAIN. You may call it what you want, but car companies are not working together. They all want to make MORE money.
Hopefully the companies involved will choose a standard and we will not have to deal with competing technologies as we did in the VHS vs. beta days.
There is no doubt that electric vehicles are more efficient that those using the internal combustion engine since a great deal of energy is wasted in the production of heat by the gas guzzlers.
The problem is that most electric power in this country is powered by coal and plugging in your electric or hybrid vehicle to recharge it still affects the environment even though you are not burning gasoline because your are recharging your batteries via coal produced power. Electric vehicles will be even more beneficial when we transition from coal to renewable energy to produce more of the country's power needs. A win win situation.

Tired of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, itinerant journalist Paul Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local San Juan newspaper run by the downtrodden editor Lotterman. Adopting the rum-soaked lifestyle of the late '50s version of Hemingway's "The Lost Generation," Paul soon becomes entangled with a very attractive American woman, Chenault and her fiancée Sanderson, a businessman involved in shady property development deals. It is within this world that Kemp ultimately discovers his true voice as a writer and integrity as a man.

Interesting story, I respect both those fighters, I got to say that Eubanks persona was more unique than Hameds. Naz basically tried to imitate Ali more than anything. I remember cringing a few times when he'd put on that Ali impersonation with the loudmouth talking. He just wasn't as witty or verbose as Ali. But later on it kind of developed into his own style and it worked for him.
Eubank was like a boxing intellectual, but the general boxing audience used to hate him for that, possibly because they were too mentally challenged to comprehend what he was saying.
Damn I miss the days of Eubank and Naz.

Romney says his principles endure even in loss
"Paul and I have left everything on the field. We have given our all to this campaign," Romney said as he conceded.
The address was brief, just over 650 words long. He told reporters earlier Tuesday that he had written a 1,118-word victory speech that he thought would conclude his quest for the presidency.
Romney said he had no regrets no matter the outcome. He lost his 2008 bid for the Republican nomination to John McCain. After that run, his wife vowed she would never do it again. Eventually, she changed her mind.
"We're grateful that she convinced him to get into the race because we know that my dad has been uniquely prepared," said Romney's youngest son, Craig, as he addressed supporters early Tuesday evening.
As the state calls came in, and critical Ohio was called for Obama, Romney initially hesitated. He was set to leave his hotel to make the short drive to the ballroom where his event awaited. But then he held back. He waited nearly an additional hour. Aides quietly spread word he would step to the podium at 12:55 a.m.
His speech took less than six minutes. It ended as Romney's speeches almost always do.
"Thank you," he said. "Thanks, guys."

PRLog - May 17, 2012 - CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Android and iPhone application development world has a new member, as Appstellation enters the frame to make its mark with its debut release, Angry Temple Gorilla.
16th May - Appstellation, a new name in the application development world has announced its arrival with the Android based game, Angry Temple Gorilla. Released on 26th April, 2012, the game has already seen more than 16,000 downloads and earned rave reviews from the gamers.
This colorful escapade is about a gorilla that goes by the name of Coco Jingo. He comes from the jungle, Bongo Land where he lives in isolation in his temple called the Holy Coconut Temple. Enjoying the divine coconuts he gets to eat every day, Coco Jingo is quite content with his life. That however changes when other inhabitants of the forest decide to intrude on his privacy and raid the temple for those heavenly coconuts. The plan doesn't go down too well with Jingo of course and he devises his own scheme to tackle the intruders. This is what the game is about, Jingo and his quest to protect the temple he lives in from the outsiders.
Amidst great visual graphics, Jingo makes use of various tools to stop the invaders from getting into the temple. Ants, alligators, lizards and turtles, there are a lot of enemies to deal with but Jingo is ready to fight them all by using the coconuts as his weapon to hit them with. It will take an attempt or two initially to understand the game better but once you get the hang of it and get into the character of Jingo, firing those coconuts at the pesky enemies as they sneak up on you will all turn into one addictive gaming experience. The game has a lot of color, vibrancy and a variety of challenging levels that will keep you completely hooked.
Angry Temple Gorilla is certainly a welcome addition to the Android market. The CEO of Appstellation said, "With the launch of Angry Temple Gorilla, we have tried to provide a different gaming experience for our users to enjoy. We want to be known as a company that makes a difference to the application development market with innovative ideas. The feedback about the game has been very positive which means we are on the right track. We promise we will not stop till we become a force to be reckoned with in the market."
Angry Temple Gorilla has been rated as a five star game by numerous users. Lucas, who played the game on his HTC Wildfire, claimed that it was addictive. "Once I got the hang of it I kept going, wanting to cross one level after the other!" If comments like these are any indication then it certainly looks like Appstellation has announced its arrival in style.

Social Networks Help During Disaster Recovery
Building social networks to help the disadvantaged during disaster recovery
Online social networks could help with communications and recovery for people with disabilities following major natural disasters, or even terrorist attack, according to a research paper in the International Journal of Emergency Management.
In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, other natural disasters, and even technological emergencies it has become obvious that there is a serious need for disaster and emergency preparedness for people with disabilities. Following Katrina and Rita there was inadequate access to medical equipment, medicines, accessible communication media, assistive technologies, personal assistance, and even shelter.
The aftermath of recent major earthquakes in Chile, China, and Haiti reinforce the global perspective on this issue. Emergencies and hazard events pose not only physical and material problems for people with disabilities but can have significant psychological impact on vulnerable populations. As such, they require effective communication networks and infrastructure to mitigate disruption to social environments.
John C. Bricout of the University of Central Florida, Orlando, and Paul M. A. Baker of the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, point out that online social networks could be instrumental in addressing the psychological and social needs of persons with disabilities in the context of disasters or other emergency events. They emphasize that consideration must be given to the strengths and weaknesses of such distributed online resources in relation to the specific emergency.
The researchers stress that in the people with disabilities must be involved throughout the developmental and evaluation process of this role for social networks and that their presence as key "stakeholders" will be critical to their effectiveness.
"For emergency communications to engender not only compliance but also mobilization and effective responses they must be embedded in online social networks that function as distributed communities of persons with disabilities, local, regional and beyond and link to providers and critical knowledge/information sources," the researchers say. "The emergency communications become one channel for a broader, relational network that extends from the virtual/online realm into real-world resources and relationships."
There are therefore three main objectives: first coordinated online social networks must be developed that serve the "community" online. Secondly, adequate wireless, web-based and computer-mediated infrastructure that can be sustained during an emergency must be in place. Thirdly, emergency training and simulation must be carried out that tests how well the online social networks might cope in an emergency.

Venice, Italy
My Rating
This was a very enjoyable tour. It is not a ghost tour which is designed to scare you, but rather a little bit of history about the myths and legends of Venice, whilst walking through the streets and back alleys. Cristina, our tour guide, made the experience interesting and enjoyable. It is definitely an entertaining and safe way to walk through the streets of Venice at night.
Venice, Italy
My Rating
This was an excellent tour and Massimo, our tour guide, was very knowledgable and helpful. The tour lasted about an hour, and covered a number of the smaller back canals as well as the grand canal.

The downtown area is very walkable and gently slopes up away from the ocean with peak views of the mountains and ocean depending on location.
Downtown Real Estate values average around $600,000 to $2.5 million.

|Generational shifts and the creation of political selves: a focus group investigation
|Dudash, Elizabeth A., 1974-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|A preponderance of research in political communication has centered on the lack of voter mobilization and indicates that the youth of the nation do not participate in the democratic process. In 2000, national research teams collected data about this problem and the results indicated that there is a generational difference in how citizens define their roles in civic engagement. In an effort to explore those differences, this study seeks to answer questions about how citizens talk about their involvement or lack of involvement. By talking with small groups of citizens that represented different generations, it is clear that the problem with civic engagement is not only that citizens are not voting, but that citizens view themselves as political participants in different ways that traditional measures suggest. This study is based on a social constructionist perspective and utilizes Post-Modernization and Generational Replacement Theory to further understand the political talk of citizens. The results indicate that new definitions of civic engagement and political involvement are necessary to truly understand why democracy seems to be changing and what pro-involvement researchers and movements can do to ensure the health of our democracy.

The photo is from 2013. I'm multidimensional...
The photo is from 2013. I'm multidimensional (strong intellectual, emotional, and spiritual sides) and youthful in appearance and energy; notice and appreciate the little things, an empathic listener, very playful (and funny) at some times, intense at others. I may ask or answer almost any question, typically with the intention of deeper connection. I have a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise. I recently ran a mile in a faster time than most men in their forties. My passion is making a difference in the world, especially for children! "What's done to children, they will do to society." Being in a men's group enhances my life. I'm interested in psychology, the state of the country and the planet, other cultures, health, and unconventional, creative ideas often intended to improve our quality of life. Other things that are important to me are community, eye contact, tenderness, spirituality, empathy, spontaneity, integrity, growth, naturalness, empowering others, and dispelling the illusion of separation. I shout my joy and cry my sadness, question cultural assumptions, and do my best to live by the Golden Rule. My favorite definition of love is from Dennis, age 5: "Love is when a girl puts on perfume, a boy puts on after shave, and then they go out together and smell each other." I seek a rare intimacy. Disagreement, no matter how small or large, is handled promptly and respectfully. I acknowledge mistakes and apologize instead of being defensive. True loving requires reassessment. We ask each other, "In what way is this relationship not yet all we want it to be? What is the next step in making it so?" Being present is being loving. I prefer someone who is insightful and emotionally expressive, a participant more than an observer. She is intelligent, playful, and spontaneous. She values mutual empathy and trust, is physically active, not overweight, and passionate about something. She is interested in growth and exploring how deep and joyful an intimate, egalitarian relationship can be. I'll be specific about a few of my communication preferences. I seek someone who asks for what she wants, keeps agreements, is willing to take risks, and is responsible for her experience with first encounters as well as with close friends. After an initial contact to confirm mutual interest, I prefer the telephone to email because it is spontaneous, more efficient, and provides nonverbal as well as verbal communication. Either one of us may make the call. I do not respond to messages associated with profiles with no picture unless you tell me where I can find your picture online.

Dragon's Dogma
Ur-Dragon Generation 494
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Welcome to the Chamber of Lament. We have some suggestions for you.
In General
- Purple blood = damage!
- Brown blood = no damage
- The Ur Dragon is weak to Holy
- Use strength or magic boosting augments!
- Use strength or magic boosting periapts/group boosters (effects are 4x stackable per stat)
- Use Blast Arrows if you have a bow
- Bring items that replenish stamina
Basic Class Strategies Beware the Damage Cap!
All vocations should use Periapts or Group Potions
- Blast Arrows! Assassins should use Gale Harness with either 100/1000 Kisses or Fivefold Flurry; Rangers, Tenfold Flurry
- Sorcerers should use Holy Affinity and the focused X attack
Mystic Knight
- Take one Strider/Ranger and two Sorcerers, or three Sorcerers, and/or with 100% Holy resistance
- Sample strategy! http://goo.gl/ojo1Az
- Four Striders or three Striders and a Sorcerer are highly effective
- Sample strategy! http://goo.gl/1M622R
Fighter/Warrior are not recommended due to a lack of an effective ranged attack
Mage/Magic Archer are not recommended due to primary weapon power deficiency
Additional information can be found here: http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Ur-Dragon#Tactics
Damage Cap?
A high amount of damage in a single session may result in the Ur-Dragon leaving without your damage being counted for that round. Watch for Accessing server at the end of your round. If you dont see it, your round has had no effect. Scale back your attack with fewer periapts, and/or leave earlier and try again.
Reporting Health
The Ur Dragons HP is reported when he lands by stating how many dots he has left together with a decimal representation of what remains on his current bar. It is a VERY GOOD IDEA not to let more than two hours go by without someone making a report!
Example: If there are 5 dots and the current bar is 16 dots in length, then its current health is 5.8.
But it has more health!
There are multiple versions of The Ur Dragon at any given time. These synch periodically and will synch instantly for Grace when someone kills one. Capcom confirmed that the Ur Dragon does not heal. There is no guarantee you will summon the same one for your next round.
When calling grace, please use the hashtag # grace, but remove the space. Please do not use the hashtag until it actually IS grace.
The Ur Dragons HP, DEF and/or MDEF during Grace is variable. He will land weaker with anywhere from 1-15 hearts, showing varying amounts of health. However, the Ur-Dragon will do his best to kill you. In the past, Grace has been less than thirty minutes and as long as two full hours. Do not waste any of it!
360Haven Pawns!
If one or two red/white symbols are over a pawns head, LEAVE THE CHAMBER IMMEDIATELY. Engaging hacked pawns can invalidate your damage and/or freeze the console! Go to another area to rest offline or power down to clear them.
I'm supposed to be dead.

 In regard to memorizing the area of a square as d^2 / 2, I would more prefer generalizing to "the area of a rhombus is the 1/2 the product of the diagonals.

Our math lessons need to build on the natural intuition the child brings to us. This is the spirit of the Mathematical Practices in CCSS. Another big issue for me is how we define an "open-ended" math assessment question. Should the open-ended questions we pose in a classroom essentially the same as those on a standardized test? I do not believe so. How do you feel? This is important enough to warrant its own blog post!Dave Marainhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231784566931768362.post-7670516315478260382014-09-11T01:32:00.291-04:002014-09-11T01:32:00.291-04:00Thank you, Dave.

Desmos has this potential and this was my first attempt. I've developed activities like this in the past starting with graph paper , then onto TI. It is important for me to say that the PROBLEM preceded the technology!

I saw the interactive/feedback advantages you picked up on and my instincts told me this could work. As I continue to work with Desmos and learn from others' examples, I'll get better.

The learning curve for Desmos does not appear to be that steep here. Inagine if each math teacher were to contribute just one activity!

There are some features I'd like to see that may come with updates, e.g., involving setting ranges for tables, but, hey, it's early!

Thanks again...Dave Marainhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231784566931768362.post-9770171897001135542014-04-20T13:59:38.351-04:002014-04-20T13:59:38.351-04:00This is awesome!

I really like how Desmos makes this activity much less low-risk -- students can try a function and adjust iteratively until they find the right linear equation/domain, and since they get three chances to graph a side of the square they have a chance to figure out more efficient ways to identify the function and identify patterns and connections.

It's also so critical to synthesize graphing, slope, intercept, and domain into questions like these that are grounded in a context where students can check to see if their answer makes sense right away.fivetwelvethirteenhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231784566931768362.post-6084158925535662152014-04-16T13:58:54.380-04:002014-04-16T13:58:54.380-04:00Sue, Below is a copy of a couple of the Grade 1 st...Sue,
Below is a copy of a couple of the Grade 1 standards. They seem reasonable to me. I'll have to look again at the overall breadth and quantity of these to see if they're too ambitious for Gr 1. Again, my major concern is that when teachers are evaluated according to the progress students make in these areas, we all know the primary focus will be on 'teaching to the test'. Hey, we all saw this coming, didn't we Sue!

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.2

(I feel like these conversations have taken away from lots of other great conversations that we all could have been having. What a time sink for all these great teachers to be studying the CC standards.)

I know the process standards are good. I worry that there are too many topics among the other standards.

The next time someone posts about this as a problem, perhaps we could get good teachers, pro and con, together to discuss.

Mandating *proficiency* of higher-level content and deeper understanding for ALL children K-3 does not make sense which implies that STANDARDIZED TESTING of Common Core skills should start later. Further it is insane for us to be discussing high-stakes CC assessments until the curriculum and training of teachers have been entrenched for at least 3-4 years. If assessment actually had something to do with helping children learn and develop there would be no issue but we know this is not the reason states have been rushing this through. We know it is not only the students who are being assessed.

However, *raising the bar for all* children is still reasonable. I see what is currently happening in many K-5 math classes and I'm disappointed to say the least. Of course some children will struggle. Finding ways to help them has always been our primary role. I need someone to enumerate some *specific* K-3 CC proficiencies so that I can respond directly to them. Is there a particular one that you believe is inappropriate?Dave Marainhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231784566931768362.post-47268330800917483702014-04-15T10:00:32.202-04:002014-04-15T10:00:32.202-04:00Dave, do you think some of the early grade level s...Dave, do you think some of the early grade level stuff is possibly developmentally inappropriate? I don't know enough developmental psych to know, but I do know that different kids develop at different rates, and having common core say they must all do x at a certain time concerns me.Sue VanHattumhttp://email@example.com

Zürich Central Train Station
Zürich Central Station is the largest railway station in Switzerland and a major traffic hub for international and local trains and city travel (tram). The first central station building was built in 1847, replaced in 1871 by the railway station in neo-renaissance style as we know it now.
In the interior and extensive underground sections of the railway station, many shops compete for customers. In the winter, a Christmas Market can be found in the main hall. At the start of Bahnhofstrasse, a monument to the Swiss railway pioneer Alfred Eschers is located.
NOVA Lights
I am wondering what is that "Ding" hanging on the ceiling of Zürich's main train station. My curiosity says: it is the new highlight of the "Hall". A high-tech Body of light named "Nova" weighing 3.3 tons, composed of 25,000 light conicals that beams into more than 16 millions schemes of color showing different sequences in three-dimensional display. The project is realized by scientist from ETH Zürich(Engineering School), symbolizing Art, Science and Soceity. According to them, it will offer a moment of relaxation and tranquility to passers by and travelers. Take time and enjoy watching this new spectacular at the hall.
Zürich's Hauptbahnhof (Central Railway Station) is one of the busiest in Europe. It is *the* hub for public transportation in Switzerland. It is also a beautiful building (finished 1871) with a lot of details worth to watch, like the statue of Helvetia above the main entrance.
And it is a large shopping centre, open even on Sundays and holidays. Without a plan I would get lost there. One finds excellent groceries (cheese!), the Sprüngli confiserie, but also clothing stores etc.

Christmas Fair
While in Zurich you will automatically won't miss this yearly event-the Christmas Fair in the Mainstation and Shopville. A covered Christmas market thus making it unique than the others. At the ground floor is the huge Christmas Tree decorated with Swarovski crystals and & jewelries. It sparkles and glitters all around the Railway city and is the biggest Indoor Christmas Market in Europe.
To date: A month before Christmas
This year's fair: 28th November to 24th December
Mo-Fr 11:00 - 21:00, Sa-So 10.00 bis 20.00
20th December 10.00 - 22.00 /24th December 11.00 - 16.00
1st photo: Huge christmas tree adorned with Swarovski crystals
2nd photo: Handmade artificial orchids and etc
Weekly Market
A market every Wednesday where you can buy a variety of homemade products, fresh farm flowers, fruits and vegetables. I usually buy fresh bread here. Sometimes you might see me and my hubby sitting somewhere eating Bratwurst(sausage) and bread. A friend has a a stall here selling fresh fruits tidbits and fresh juices.
Internet Cafe
Reaching out the world......... the best known internet cafe in the city.They offer to their international guests a"surf and snack", hassle-free internet services and an interesting meeting point in the city centre. They are open 7 days a week . Located in a pleasant atmosphere near the Urania Observatory and in the Urania Parking .
Monday - Friday: 07:00 - 23:00
Saturday: 08:00 - 23:00
Sunday: 10:00 - 22:00
Shopville, the Underground shopping
This area is not only well appreciated from the locals but also from travellers. Located between the main floor and the undergroundtracks of the city's main station. Groceries, drugstores, chocolate shops, fashion jewelries, flowers, boutiques, perfumes, shoes, stockings, electronics, photos, computer, music, bookstores,papetry,sportshops, beverages or even a fitness center, dental clinic, orthopedy and a large telephone & internet corner and bancomats. Shop and have drinks, a quickie lunch or have some goodies from take away stands.
Zurich's main Train Station
The station is one of the departure points for excursions all over Switzerland and to the neighboring European countries and intercontinental journeys. A baroque style of building facing to the city's famous and main street Bahnhofstrasse. At the ground level, there are various events and activities the whole year round. It may be a weekly market, cinema, concerts or sport events. These all take place here. There's no boring waitings for the train. In the hall you'll find a lot of cosy bars, imbiss and cafes or just sit down on one of the benches and have a look overhead. You may see some old and modern Arts and Architecture or maybe a hovering Angel keeping watch over the travellers. You may have also your last shopping before continuing your journey. Swiss souvenirs to chocolates or if one might need some medics so badly, a Pharmacy and a Drugstore a Medical Clinic(Permanence) for emergency are right there for you.
- Architecture
Main station
The main station is the first thing most visitors see of Zurich. It is not just a railway station, there is also a shopping centre inside and a lot of events in the main hall. For example there is a weekly market, a cinema in summer and the chrismas market in Dezember. You can also find a tourist information here.
Bizarre art in train station
Whenever I arrive in a new city I immediately start looking for what will be my first impression of the city. I did not have to leave the station before this bizarre piece of art caught my attention. This was suspended from the ceiling of the station. I love bizarre and unusual street art. This certainly fits the description.
Train Station
We arrived in Zurich at the main train station. From our hotel in Bern it was only about 2.5 to 3 hours to get to Zurich. We were able to spend the entire day and most of the night and still get back in time to catch the train back to Bern. The station is large and very clean. There is a tourist office in the station where you can find maps and brochures to help you with your visit in Zurich.
Main station
For me the main station is the nicest building in Zurich! Great outdoors and indoors! The huge hall in there is tremendous! An angel of Niki de Saint Phalle is hanging in there!
Nice bars and restaurants in there! And the touristinfo is there as well! Here you will find a lot of stuff about Zurich and Switzerland!

To the casual eye this is the Hauptbanhoff the train station for Zurich. Underneath the majestic Bahnhofstrasse is a series of vaults that is crammed with gold and silver. Zurich is a premier player in the world precious metals market and this is where its all stored.(NOT open to the public)
Hmmmm..remember Juan and Evita Peron and all the missing gold reserves in Argentina...I wonder if...uh...(never mind)........

For Baja Travelers
Our 2012 Baja trip was more spectacular than we expected. We met wonderful people, and stayed in some great places along the way. While I am far, FAR, from an expert on Baja travel, we have learned some things, and met some people, along the way that I think people will find helpful; I want to share those resources.
The main focus will be places to stay, as there are plenty of other resources for GPS tracks and such, and where to stay while traveling Baja is a pretty common question for first time travelers.
My intent is to maintain this as an indexed thread, so that information can be added over time. So if you have something to add please let me know. So as we build this resource, please include as much info as you can in your post, such as:
-website link
-email addy
-phone (many places have a US number)
-location (google map links are excellent)
-a pic or 2, especially if it will help find the place
-of course tell us about the place and your experience (secure bike parking, was there a particularly helpful staff person, etc)
Of course it's Baja, so some of the best and coolest places wont have phones, websites, or electricity, so just give the best info you can!
In order to keep the list well organized please list each location in a separate post! This will make it much easier to keep them indexed and link to each location. Please title your post as well.
I am only going to personally write about places I have first hand knowledge of, so if you want a place added to the index, please be prepared to write a post about it, and I will add it to the index. This also means if there is a really obvious place that I haven't posted, it is because I haven't been there I don't feel I have sufficient knowledge to post about it. This will be a work in progress, so constructive suggestions on how to keep info organized, or anything else, are welcome. Right now I am going to start by dividing the list into 4 parts, North Baja Pacific Side, North Baja Sea of Cortez Side, South Baja Pacific Side, and South Baja Sea of Cortez Side.
Some of the wonderful people I met who live in Baja have also agreed to help with the upkeep and knowledge base of this thread. Not only are these great folks you would be delighted to meet, many of them are plugged into the "date palm wireless" and are the folks you want to be able to get in touch with if you find yourself broke down or in some other sticky situation in Baja. Trust me, I learned it the hard way.
I am also considering what else to have listed besides places to stay. Are there any ADV members living in Baja who would like to be listed as a person to call on for assistance? Happen to know where there is a really good welder in the middle of nowhere? Other ideas?

Bahia de Asuncion
If you are in Asuncion, the place to stay is with Shari and Juan! Juan is a local, and Shari is a Canadian expat (you'll notice a pattern about the B&B's and Canadians in Baja...) who originally came down to study whales. 20ish years later (I'm sure she will correct me if I'm wrong) Shari is still running whale tours, Juan does fishing charters, and they both do a lot of research on ceviche recipes and lobster dinners. They have some single rooms for rent at their main house, the "Blowhole B&B" and several houses you can rent as well. They are just some of the coolest people we met in our travels. Besides taking care of travelers who wander in Juan is also part of the local rescue squad, and there is just a constant flow of locals and other expats coming through their place. Super bike friendly, I really liked the beach house we got that had a concrete pad perfect for doing some maintenance on the bike. Not that I bothered, but I thought about it. We stayed in this one:
On their website you will find email addys and phone numbers, including a US number:
Shari is also here on ADV, and needs a good kick to get a bike.
Honestly I can't say enough about how nice the accommodations were, or what wonderful helpful people Shari and Juan are. One of the best things Shari had for us? A washing machine! We left her place with everything fresh. Oh, she takes Pay Pal, which we found helpful as we were low on cash.
Hotel Plaza Loreto.
This was the second place we slept in Baja after I asked Meredith to marry me (the first was Coco's Corner!), and we fell in love with both the hotel and the town. Besides being a beautiful hotel with clean rooms, Hotel Plaza Loreto has one of the things we all look for when choosing a hotel in a city, secure bike parking! Very secure, the front desk is staffed 24 hours and has a perfect view of any bikes parked on the street out front, or if you are willing to do a little more work you can squeeze down a short hallway and bring them into the courtyard. One of the night managers, Carlos, is very friendly, speaks excellent English (very helpful to us ignorant gringos), and when he tells you to go to his Aunties restaurant "Super Burro" you should listen. They will even do some laundry for travelers running low on clean undies.

I'm taking a deep bow amigo!
thanks for the kind words Mr.Rabbit!!! We aim to please and make sure riders are well looked after by organizing food and beverages at their rental. There are several accomodation choices to accomodate different budgets too. We assist in route planning and secret spots to explore.
This central part of Baja is a great place to explore and you can stay in several places in the area. For example Les & Blanca have a B&B in nearbye La Bocana as well and there is Campo Rene by Abreojos, Gary & Terry (fellow canucks) have Ignacio Springs B&B in San Ignacio and many bike groups stay at Cowboy Hotel in Guerrero Negro as you can park your bike outside your room and it has good 24hr security too, wifi, great beds and a killer taco restaurant that serves BBQ chicken too. Those are just some of the options for accomodations around here.
I have offered to be a contact person for several bike groups and individual travellers...it's so nice to pull out a local phone number when things go wrong...or you just need some advice or help making reservations or current road information..so just private message me for my number if you are heading our way...or you can call my computer phone at 619-906-8438.
Oh yeah Muddy...I have been seriously eyeing a few bikes lately!!!
Shari do you have web links and contact info for those?
Kiki's in San Felipe
On all 3 of my Baja trips we have used Kiki's in San Felipe for our base camp. Reasonable rates, and one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. We always leave our tow vehicle there while we are off riding for over a week, and Kiki keeps it safe while we are gone and never charges for storage. He also has a security guard standing watch 24 hours. Kiki is a rider and jeeper himself, and has been known to head south to retrieve a rider broke down somewhere on the peninsula to bring them back north. One of the things we love is we see many of the same faces at Kiki's on each trip. The same RV people and riders come back year after year. Close enough to the center of town to walk home drunk, but far enough out to be a peaceful spot on the beach. Dammit, I miss the place just talking about it!
Thank you, muddyrabbit, just the Info I was looking for. :ear
Got a few more to post when I have time, but still hoping others will contribute.
Good info, thanks muddyrabbit. Taking notes for a baja trip later this year. :beer
Hey, I appreciate the love and effort you've put into this growing thread--a great resource for Baja noobs like me. :freaky
I just wish we could have gotten more contributions. Maybe in this time of year when riders are planning Baja trips for winter and spring it will see more activity.

I've been trying to get better at Duel for some time now, according to Quake Live I should be Tier 3, and QLranks says my Duel ELO is at 975 or so, but I don't know how good that is. I seem to do completely fine in bot practices, but the moment I go play with a real person the game ends at ridiculous scores like 0 to me, 20 to my opponent (I've had severe cases where it's been 7 to -1 by the 2 minute mark, mostly on Aerowalk), where my opponent has like 40% accuracy and me at like 20%. I practice item control sometimes but somehow the other guy always gets there first and I lose control. The thing is almost nobody says anything useful, like "Go watch demos" and sh*t like that.
Can people please give me some useful advice! Good methods of practice or anything. If I need to give any more info I will do but I don't want this to be too long.
