Christmas is one of the bigger holidays on the Italian calendar, and one of the most popular spots to be at Christmas is in Vatican City.
Even if you're not Catholic, being in St. Peter's Square for the Pope's traditional midnight mass is something to behold. Not a night owl? On Christmas Day the Pope delivers his Christmas message from his balcony overlooking the square.
You aren't the only one with the brilliant idea of spending Christmas in Vatican City, however, so here are some things to know before you go.
Christmas Attractions in Vatican City
Leading up to Christmas, there is a huge tree erected in St. Peter's Square that gets all lit up at night. There's also a life-sized nativity scene in the square. Nativity scenes are popular throughout Italy in the weeks before Christmas, so look for them in squares and churches well beyond Vatican City.
The Pope's midnight mass on Christmas Eve is held inside St. Peter's Basilica, and there's a big screen showing it live in the square so you can still follow along even if you're not lucky enough to get indoors.
The following day, the Pope comes out onto the balcony of his Vatican apartments, which overlooks the square, and gives his annual Christmas address at noon. You can get tickets to actually be inside St. Peter's Basilica for the midnight mass, but you need to plan many months in advance.
Christmas Attractions in Rome
Elsewhere in Rome, you'll find nativity scenes in many squares and churches. In fact, in the Piazza del Popolo more than 100 nativities go on display starting in late November, and there's a museum in Rome devoted solely to nativities—the Museo del Presepio—open all year except August and free to enter.
There are also many other churches in Rome that hold Christmas Eve Mass, including mass at Santa Maria in Aracoeli and Gregorian chants at the Pantheon. Don't miss the Christmas market erected in Piazza Navona, either, where you can often find Babbo Natale (Father Christmas). There are other Christmas markets in Rome, too, and although many things may be closed on December 25th you can sign up for a Christmas Day walking tour of Rome.
"Holiday" Schedules
The Christmas holidays mean that things like transportation, restaurants, shops, museums and other attractions are on "holiday schedules." This means trains run less frequently and things are apt to be closed either part of the day or all day. Avoid travel hassles by scoping out which restaurants will be open or stocking up on picnic supplies at the market, don't try to leave the city (move your big travel days if you need to), and book hotels well in advance so you're not—literally—left in the cold.

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
In response to President Ma Ying-jeouŌĆÖs noon press conference Sunday, the students in the anti-trade in services conclave held their own press conference at 13:00. They offered up a 32-word mantra stating that they believe the country is now in the midst of a constitutional crisis and the ruling and opposition parties should call a national meeting to discuss constitutional government for the benefit of all citizens. The students pledged to "fight to the bitter end," saying they did not rule out any possible form of protest. Student leader Lin Fei-fan said that President Ma has lost his legitimacy, and a national constitutional meeting should be convened by the government and citizens to examine the process of constitutional government.
Lin appeared together with Lu Chung-chun, president of the Taiwan Association of University Professors; Anti-Black Box Democratic Front convener Lai Chung chiang; Professor Huang Kuo-chang of the Academia Sinica Institute of Law; and Wang Hsi of the Citizens Awareness Alliance in an afternoon press conference in response to the press conference of President Ma.
Lin Fei-fan said the two sides had worked hard to produce the trade services agreement, but the failure to take public opinion into account was a violation of democratic principles that led to tens of thousands of people taking to the streets to express their concern for Taiwan's future. He added that it had taken six days for President Ma Ying-jeou to come forth and respond to their comments and suggestions.
Lin said he had hoped to hear what would amount to a dialogue coming from Ma, but expressed his disappointment that the only thing he heard was the same old propaganda with its hackneyed phrases and complete failure to take public opinion into account. The government line overlooked the deepest aspirations and expectations of the people of Taiwan, noted Lin.
Lin stressed that the governmentŌĆÖs actions in pushing the agreement are illegal and said that the people occupying the Legislative Yuan now are not distorting the facts. He said that the effect of the president's meddling is to illegally collar the Legislative YuanŌĆÖs ability to uphold Taiwan's democracy on behalf of the people. A government dominated by the executive power, he said, is a fake democracy ŌĆō something more akin to a dictatorship. The trade in services agreement, he noted, is the worst example of anti-democratic action using a so-called ŌĆśblack boxŌĆÖ approach. If the people are not involved, said Lin, there is no democracy; in a democracy everything is subject to discussion.
Lin said the group occupying the Legislative Yuan had done so precisely in order to highlight the absurdity of the current system. He stressed that people in democratic countries must be able to participate in deciding the future of their country. Taiwan must involve all of the people in working out planned legislation. The studentsŌĆÖ proposals for getting through the current constitutional crisis focus on several conditions:
First, the students want to see a "Citizens Constitutional Conference" to discuss the proposals. The current constitutional crisis has eroded the legitimacy of Ma Ying-jeouŌĆÖs administration and is impeding the progress of national development. As a result, all political parties should work to invite all sectors of society to participate in the CitizensŌĆÖ Constitutional conference.
Second, say the students, Taiwan should ŌĆśsend backŌĆÖ the trade in services agreement. At the same time the current session of the Legislative should develop a system to monitor development of cross-strait agreements. And until such a legal monitoring system is in place, the Legislative Yuan should refuse to examine any trade agreements between the two sides.
Third, they said, ŌĆ£All such agreements should be carried out under a system of monitoring by both sides of the strait. Before the monitoring system has been implemented, the government of Taiwan cannot negotiate or enter into any further agreements with China.
Finally, the students called for both ruling and opposition legislators to be more responsive to the demands of the people. A bill which will govern negotiations involving ruling and opposition parties is already being actively promoted and should receive its third reading in the Legislative Yuan during the current session.
Lai Chung-chiang said that citizens' groups have all sorts of suggestions for a series of procedures to monitor and follow-up on negotiations. These groups have appealed to members of the ruling and opposition parties to determine the subjects of meetings being held and discuss the relevant rules of procedure to be followed.
Huang Kuo-chang added that the "Citizens Constitutional Conference" is their own proposal for a national meeting to cover a wide range of topics involving constitutional issues. He explained that the group chose the word "Citizens" as the first word in its title of Citizens Constitutional Alliance to emphasize to its focus on citizen participation..

New York, NY, August 19, 2008 � A small Muslim organization that promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial recently played host to a gathering in Baltimore that featured speeches by prominent domestic extremists. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the gathering is just the latest example of the "burgeoning relationship" between far-right and Muslim extremists in the United States.
The "International Islamic Conference" held in a Baltimore hotel on August 16 was organized by a small Muslim group called Jamaat al-Muslimeen (JAM), which actively promotes anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial mixed with a deep distrust of Western-style democracy. The gathering heard from several well-known anti-Semites.
"Despite their divergent backgrounds and interests, promoters of anti-Semitism are finding common cause in their hatred of Jews and Israel," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "There is a burgeoning relationship of far-right and Muslim extremists who increasingly are working together to promote anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial."
Among the anti-Semites who attended were Mark Glenn, a contributor to the anti-Semitic newspaper American Free Press; Charles Carlson, Director of We Hold These Truths, an Arizona-based anti-Semitic group; and Mark Weber, Director of the Institute for Historical Review, a group that promotes Holocaust denial.
JAM leader Dr. Kaukab Siddique, an associate professor at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, told the Baltimore gathering, "We're under the grip of a Jewish Zionist power structure in this country" and referred to the "Zionist-controlled media." Other speakers blamed a "Jewish cabal" within the U.S. government for the Iraq war and claimed that "Jews and Zionists" have a stranglehold on American media, as well as political and cultural life.
Jamaat al-Muslimeen is based in Baltimore and is mostly active in the northeastern U.S. The group spreads Holocaust denial and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories through organized events and a newsletter.
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

The New Gerakan Chief?
Now, his wife, Chui Kah Peng, has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to both Lim Guan Eng and Jeff Ooi to accept her invitation for a debate on the handling of the Persatuan Bunga Tanjung's funds. PBT was the state organisation for wives of Barisan Nasional assemblymen and MPs and was headed by Chui.
At the last PBT annual general meeting on March 9, the day after Penang and four other states fell into Opposition hands, PBT members, the state organisation for wives of Barisan Nasional assemblymen and MPs, voted unanimously to dissolve the association.
In earlier statements, Chui said remaining funds amounting to RM590,665 were distributed to the Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) (RM350,000), the Bureau on Learning Difficulties-PBT centre in Seberang Prai (RM220,000) and three other charitable organisations.
Chui was upset over a remark made on Jeff's website. "We are not 'desperate housewives' as Jeff Ooi had alleged and we take that statement as a real insult." Jeff also drew a similarity between PBT and Balkis.
It is interesting to note that Chui is now at the forefront and it will be more interesting if Jeff or Lim decides to take up the challenge. Perhaps, Gerakan has found a new Penang chief since Secretary General Chia Kwang Chye, as usual, is still non committal to take over the post. Chui has shown more character than Chia, maybe she should go for the post instead. It will be a Malaysian "Bill-Hillary" tag team to watch.
5 comments:
I am not sure whether it is a wise move for YBs Lim & Jeff to spare their precious time for the debate. Having said that, I am waiting eagerly for the Round 1 debate to take place. Who is going to be KO'ed?
- amoker said...
Its a waste of time to have this debate. The public opinion is that there is hanky panky involving large sums of money. Like the GE12, people have closed our ears to their reasons .. we just want PBT and Balkis to come clean & do the right thing.
Be a man ( Wo-man)
- CK Tan said...
yeah.... Malaysian Billary!!!
Was Puan Chui Kah Peng's outburst a reaction of guilt that some hanky panky was committed by PBT? And why is PBT so anxious to transfer its funds to Bakti, like what Balkis did in Selangor? Puan Chui Kah Peng is also silent on why PBT chose to dissolve itself after BN lost in Penang on 8 Mar. Puan Chui Kah Peng should be clear that PBT is a Penang govt outfit, NOT a BN outfit which chose to dissolve itself when BN lost power. It would be interesting to hear what Jeff Ooi has to say when he returns from his leave
I don't care for what Jeff Ooi says anymore when he practices double standards!
I tried to comment on his blog about the PBT issue and he blocked my comment.
So much for his being the champion of free speech. He practices censorship!
All I did was question his intent on the issue. No foul language was used, not even defending Puan Sri Chui but rather pointing out that they way he worded his original post was more of an 'accusation' than 'seeking clarification'.

Is sorcery worth the buy? I'm thinking I might as well get it if i'm going there to pick up rayman origins. The reviews weren't too hot and I think it might go on an even bigger sale (maybe $10).
try the demo. I only played that and found it to be a dissapointment. Controls were frustrating and its rather simplistic. I cant imagine the full game being much better considering as you mentioned, reviews werent great

SALT LAKE CITY - It had been so long since the New Orleans Hornets won in Utah that Hornets guard Devin Brown barely remembered the game. It came when he played for the Jazz during the 2005-06 season.
However, Brown seemed like he was on a mission Monday night to hand his former team some misery by doing the things necessary to give his Hornets teammates a much-anticipated locker room celebration.
Behind Brown's impressive 30-point performance and a dominating third-quarter effort keyed by their defensive play, the Hornets defeated the Jazz 91-87 for the first time in seven games played at Utah.
The Hornets also snapped a four-game road losing streak and they evened their record at .500 (16-16) for the first time since the second game of the season. The Hornets will take a three-game winning streak into Wednesday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Ford Center.
"We gutted this one out and we were able to get stops when we needed to tonight, " Brown said. "That's what we got to do night in and out, and we were able to knock shots down.
The Hornets entered with a 6-20 all-time record against at Utah. The Jazz had won the previous six games by an average of 20.7 points at EnergySolutions Center.
After trailing 51-44 at halftime, the Hornets came out in the third quarter and played inspired like they do at the New Orleans Arena, where they have a 13-3 record.
They outscored the Jazz 25-11 in the period by intensifying their defensive pressure and limiting the Jazz's ball screens, and when cuts were made, the Hornets forcefully ran to seal them off. With that kind of pressure, New Orleans forced Utah to miss 10 consecutive shots. During one stretch, David West and Emeka Okafor each had blocks and the Hornets forced the Jazz into committing three turnovers.
Complete game coverage
Rebounding comes naturally to Emeka Okafor
Brown's 3-pointer and two free throws gave the Hornets their first lead of the game at 55-53 with 6:54 remaining in the quarter, and Okafor's first basket of the game extended the Hornets' lead to 57-54.
The Hornets' biggest lead was 69-59. Several times, Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan could be heard yelling from the bench, trying to get his players to execute. But the Hornets played lock-down defense that forced the Jazz into shooting 5-of-20 from the field.
"The effort from our bigs and from our guards chasing down long rebounds, " Hornets Coach Jeff Bower said. "I thought across the board defensively in the quarter we really worked hard. It was a strong quarter for us."
Despite leading by seven at the end of the third, the Jazz closed to 71-68 after a basket by Paul Millsap. But the Hornets stormed back with consecutive baskets by Okafor and Brown, pushing the Hornets' advantage back to seven.
But the Jazz did not let up as the Hornets went scoreless for a two-minute stretch and Deron Williams' driving layup made the score 77-74. Wesley Matthews' 3-pointer tied the score at 77 with 4:54 remaining before West, Brown and Chris Paul put the Hornets comfortably back in front for good 86-79.
In the first half, the Jazz trapped Paul and sent three defenders at him to close the lane when he tried to penetrate. He was held to two points on 0-of-4 shooting in the first half. But throughout the second half, when Brown and James Posey began to make outside shots, it loosened up the Jazz's defensive coverage and Paul began to drive to the basket. He scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half but finished the game going 5-of-15 from the field. Forward David West helped make up for the difference by hitting his first five shots before finishing with 20, and Posey scored 12.
"This is a great win, especially after how terribly we have played on the road this year, " Paul said. "We played against a really good team. They have a set system, but we showed a lot of grit and poise."

We tend to think that our cultural icons arrive fully formed. We forget how much thought and work goes into becoming a legend.
Crossfire Hurricane is about the early image-molding of the Rolling Stones.
Of course tonight's HBO documentary (9 p.m.) also works exceedingly well if you're a fan of the band, love rock music, or just get off on the seedier side of spectacle.
But since the subtitle is The Rise of the Stones, let's consider the film first as creation story.
Directed and written by Brett ( The Kid Stays in the Picture) Morgen, Crossfire Hurricane opens with the band at the height of their decadent and defiant renown, at the Madison Square Garden stops of the 1972 S.T.P. Tour.

You probably should not have relied on the 44C.
Try jumpering the CMOS setup to clear it. Read your MoBo manual.
If the computer still fails to POST, then you can try removing and
reinstalling all the pieces (RAM, CPU. cards, Etc) trying first to get
a boot with nothing (including HDs) other than CPU and RAM. When the
parts really are OK, I have had decent luck R&Ring the CPU.
But it sure sounds like you fried something.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -New Zealand has named a near full-strength squad for Wednesday's friendly against China in Shanghai.
Coach Ricki Herbert called on his England-based players, including captain and Queen's Park Rangers defender Ryan Nelsen, West Ham's Winston Reid, Ipswich Town's Tommy Smith and West Bromwich Albion's Chris Wood.
The only notable omission from the squad is China-based striker Chris Killen who is unavailable because of personal commitments. Perth-based Shane Smeltz has a hamstring injury but has been included in the squad and will likely be fit.
The match is New Zealand's only international engagement between rounds of the Oceania confederation's World Cup qualifying series. New Zealand is currently unbeaten after four matches in the four-team competition which concludes in March.
"We haven't made any personnel changes but we may look to tinker our formation or try one or two new things in this match," Herbert said.

Willott steals show for Leek
League leaders Leek entertained Checkley, winning by four wickets as captain Greg Willott stole the show.

Karl Alcock staged a minor recovery for the away side, but they were dismissed for 101, Willott finishing with figures of 7-37.
In reply Leek made hard work of the run chase, the game was in the balance with Leek stuttering on 68 for six, but Willott finished unbeaten on 37, supported by Neal Lafford (21 not out).
Second place Longton lost ground on leaders Leek, when they were beaten at home by third place Knypersley.
The away side batted first and looked to be struggling on 13 for three, but Jake Thompson (48) supported by Paul Goodwin (22) and Phil Dutton (24) helped rebuild the innings as they closed on 157 for nine, Craig Barker picked up figures of 5-66.
In reply Longton got off to an equally poor start at 10 for three and their innings never really got going as they were all out for 113, Kevin Cockerton was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4-25.
Longton are now 25 points behind Leek and 17 in front of Knypersley.
Bottom of the league Burslem were comprehensively beaten at home by Wood Lane. The home side were put into bat and were dismissed for 67, Steve Norcup claiming 5-13 for the visitors. Wood Lane reached the target in the 24th over, Ryan Hassett finishing on 35 not out.
Fellow strugglers Audley felt defeat at the hands of Stone as they went down by nine wickets. Audley made slow progress in the first innings as they closed on 116 for eight from 54 overs, Andrew Joynson top scoring with 26.
Stone then made light work of the run chase reaching the target in the 27th over, Luke Cheadle finishing on 62 not out, supported by Phillip Cheadle (40 not out).
In the game of the day Porthill Park came away with a winning draw against Little Stoke, running out of overs only needing two runs to win, with one wicket in hand.
Little Stoke batted first and posted 170 for seven from 51 overs. In the second innings Porthill looked to be in trouble at 32 for four, Fahad Masood (66) and Zach Robinson (48 not out) pulled them to relative safety at 138 for five.
As they inched closer wickets kept falling some of it their own doing with three run outs in the innings. Eventually both sides ran out of overs to claim the victory.
Hem Heath claimed the winning draw against Cheadle as they were unable to pick up the last two wickets. Hem Heath batted first and closed their innings on 172 for eight, Ben Mcquire top scoring with 46 off 37 balls, James Sellers was the pick of the bowlers with 3-48.
In reply Cheadle only had Shaun Jenkinson (63) and Dave Wheeldon (24) who put up resistance against Hem Heath as they finished on 121 for eight, Mcquire and Stephen Pugh both taking four wickets.

Santander move bringing 1,400 jobs to downtown Dallas
The move of Santander Consumer USA Inc. will bring 1,150 jobs to downtown Dallas.
And the consumer finance company plans to hire an additional 250 workers during the next 18 months, according to filings with the City of Dallas.
Santander is relocating its operations from a building on Stemmons Freeway near Love Field to downtown's Thanksgiving Tower.
Construction is already underway to remodel the office space for the company, and some workers have already relocated to eight floors of the skyscraper.
"By this time next year, with the influx of additional associates, we will occupy 14 floors of the 50-story building and about 26 percent of its 1.4 million square feet of space," Santander CEO Tom Dundon wrote on the company's website. "The new offices represent an upgrade over our former facilities along Stemmons Freeway."
Santander is leasing 350,000 square-feet of in the Elm Street office tower, which is undergoing a $100 million renovation, according to filings with the city's economic development committee.
Dallas economic development officials have proposed giving Santander a $1 million economic development grant to help pay for the downtown move.
The company considered consolidating its operations in Irving before picking the downtown skyscraper, according to the city filings.
Last July, Thanksgiving Tower was purchased by Woods Capital of Dallas in building in partnership with Third Point Opportunities Master Fund of New York.
Santander operates an auto and consumer finance business. The Dallas-based firm was known as Drive Financial before Santander, which is based in Spain, acquired it.

Google your way to family history
Do you know how to use Google to search for your family? Do you really know how to use all Google features to do this?
A new book, "Google Your Family Tree: Unlock the Hidden Power of Google," by genealogy and technology expert Dan Lynch, will help you do just that.
The book is a comprehensive, expertly written manual of all things Google. Although written for genealogists, it covers researching for everyone about everything.
The clear step-by-step instructions help users learn how to use both the well-known and lesser-known Google tools. There are additional tips for genealogists.
I was surprised by what I didn't know! And judging from comments by other family historians and genealogists, I'm not alone. Even expert researchers are saying they've been learning new techniques also.
There are many variations in constructing a good Google search, and the author presents what could be somewhat confusing material into easily understood concepts by everyone, no matter their skill level.
He encourages readers to try things out as they go through the 352-page book. The wide page margins are great for making notes and there are worksheets for what he has planned as an interactive workbook.
What's most important, I think, is that it isn't only for genealogists and family history fans, but offers essential information for Internet researchers of all topics.
Each example uses Dan's own ancestor and related details to illustrate the results obtained. Using one person and one family's details means readers can more easily follow the techniques of creating good searches.
He's also asking readers to submit new tips and techniques not covered in the book, and he intends to create a blog that will update readers on new or improved Google features.
The book comes with two separate cards offering a quick reference guide to basic and advanced searching. This makes it easy to take along or use at home.
Most features I had known about and had used in simple searches (I learned a lot more!), while other tools were new to me, but explained concisely. Google Alerts is one feature I've used for some time. It helps me know what is happening in the international genealogy world almost as it happens.
This is an efficiently organized, easily understood volume that should be of great value to anyone - not only genealogists - who needs to find anything on the internet.
For more information, click Google Your Family Tree.
Search for your ancestors:
- I have found a tremendous amount of genealogy information from Google Books. See my blog about Google Books and Genealogy. The blog is about how to structure some queries using the Google Books search engine and some of what I found. I believe this book covers Google Books, but in a lot more detail than my blog post.
- Congratulations!This list is also a major honor for the gen binlggog community and our interaction, collaboration and sharing of information with our readers and with each other.

When Commissioners Court signed off last week on a $400,000 contract for an inspection of the Sam Houston Tollway Ship Channel Bridge, a couple of things stuck out.
For one, the inspector is HNTB Corp., the same company that designed the 26-year-old bridge.
Art Storey, Harris County's public infrastructure director, said he believes designers shouldn't be allowed to just wash their hands of the bridge once the last segment is in place — they should be held responsible for its long-term upkeep.
Peter Key, deputy director of the Harris County Toll Road Authority, said officials debated the pros and cons of hiring HNTB, but decided to go with them because they know more about that bridge specifically and that type of bridge generally than anyone else.
There's merit to both arguments. But it would seem that, just as an auditor checks the work of a company's accountants, an outsider might find defects or problems that the designer missed.
To be fair, the Texas Department of Transportation, which inspects almost all bridges in the state at least once every two years, said it also has hired the same company to design and inspect some bridges. A company called Howell Engineering and Co. inspected the bridge for TxDOT in early 2007.
Which leads to my second question: Why would HCTRA pay for an expensive inspection when the state has already certified the bridge as safe? Key said HCTRA is required to inspect all of its facilities each year to satisfy its bond requirements. Besides, he said, the bridge hasn't had a full-blown checkup since 1993, a year before the toll road authority bought the bridge from the state.
"We have a responsibility to the 450,000 people that ride our (system) every day to ensure that it's safe and this is part of that," he said.
I also was surprised to see the contract come in at four times the estimated amount listed on a February agenda, when HCTRA was seeking permission to negotiate with HNTB.
Mike Perez, HCTRA's project manager for the bridge work, said the agency decided to build money into the contract so HNTB can immediately start fixing any major problems it finds. The inspection itself is expected to cost much less, and HCTRA does not believe it will turn up any serious issues.
For what it's worth, HNTB and its principals are pretty generous donors to Harris County's political leaders for a Kansas City-based company. They've given nearly $50,000 to the four commissioners since late 2001. Commissioners Jerry Eversole and Steve Radack have received the lion's share, about $20,000 apiece.
HNTB is a major player in Texas transportation. The company is TxDOT's general engineering consultant on the Trans Texas Corridor-35 project, a component of Gov. Rick Perry's ambitious plan to build a 4,000-mile border-to-border system including car and truck lanes and freight and passenger rail lines.

Welcome to Zurich, a place that happily blends a bumping nightlife with a busy stock exchange. Its hand-in-hand...
Enlarge terminal map
Zurich Airport (ZRH) is situated in Kluton on the outskirts of Zurich; it is sometimes called Kluton Airport and others refer to it as Zurich-Kluton, but to most international visitors it's simply Zurich Airport. The airport is just eight miles (13km) from the city center and is easily accessible via a range of public transport options from within Zurich and across Switzerland.
There's no shortage of things to do at Zurich Airport. Passengers with some time on their hands will find a multitude of tempting shopping opportunities ranging from fantastic Swiss chocolate to beautiful watches and timepieces. The airport also has a great range of restaurants and bars as well as a fair number of airline lounges.
Zurich Airport is a hub for Swiss International Air Lines, with its fleet of red-and-white-liveried planes, and Edelweiss Air.
Zurich Airport is well-connected with Zurich and the rest of Switzerland. The precision and promptness with which everything is handled at this airport makes it a pleasure to use. It also makes it the perfect gateway to Switzerland, with its ski slopes, spectacular mountain scenery and cosmopolitan cities.

The airport also has Hotspots throughout the airport providing passengers with Wi-Fi access. Access to airport-related websites and train, bus and tram timetables are free. In order to browse other sites passengers will have to choose a service provider and pay the relevant fee. Service providers at the airport include Sunrise, Init Seven, Monzoon and Swisscom.
Shopping: There's plenty of shopping throughout Zurich Airport. Passengers wishing to shop at the well-stocked duty-free shop can do so either on arrival or departure. Other than the usual duty-free goods such as alcohol and perfumes, there is also a range of well-known Swiss brands, particularly chocolate products.
Food and drink: The restaurants and bars in the departures area tend to open an hour before the first flight and they close when the last flight is announced.

A PHILLY WOMAN who called Nestle's customer-service department to inquire about the fluoride content in her Nestle Pure Life water was "threatened with a bloody death" by the customer representative who took her call, according to a lawsuit filed last week in Common Pleas Court.
Shimrit Ellis claims that on Aug. 5, 2012, she called Nestle's customer service with concerns about the "possible health ramifications" of the fluoride in the bottled water she purchased.
Her call was answered by a woman. Although the lawsuit doesn't detail any animosity between Ellis and the customer-service representative during the conversation, shortly after the call Ellis said she started getting "very graphic and violent death threats" on her phone from a woman, according to the suit.

You guys are happy about seeing more advertisements?! Android will always be a developer's cash cow! Paid Ad-less apps for iOS and Free Ad supported versions for Android! Yes, Android wins in the advertisement department.
37. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Better at poor optimization, better at freezing and bugs, better at being laggy, better at providing poor, quality apps. Yeah, that's the only thing Android is better at than iOS. ZING!

Well, they're too biased and in denial to see that their iPOS are overpriced. They should be really stupid to think that the more expensive, the better..
13. Astreo (Posts: 102; Member since: 05 May 2011)
Oh well this is interesting...their POS is so overpriced that they think more expensive is better? lets do some easy math here...IPhone 4S = 200$...most new phones verizon are 250$-300$. AT&T is 200$ for good phones such as the S2 and wowzers the SAME pricing on sprint....so really all those amazing high end androids you are all touting such as the Razer and Nexus that most of you claim to have are in the same boat as iOS.
20. frydaexiii (Posts: 1444; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
No, we're comparing what we get and the price we pay for it, that is what tells us the iPhone is overpriced, not that it's more expensive than Androids.
iPhone Pros: - Good Paid Apps
- "Stable" OS
Cons : - Small Screen
- s**tty innards (800Mhz dual core?)
- Locked up boring OS
- Made of glass
- Made by Apple (a company that practices dirty business methods)
- Used by Tech-retards and their pet dogs
Android Pros : - Screen Size up to my preference.
- Open OS that is fully customizable.
- Made of Metal (HTC and Razr) & hard plastic.
- Good free and paid apps.
- Known to the public as an advanced/ complicated OS.
- Some of the best hardware for mobile devices (Eg. Exynos).
- Most have expandable memory.
Cons : -Rummage thru tons of crap apps before being able to find good apps.
-Some devices might experience lag.
As you can see, for Android, the pros outweigh their cons while for iPhone, the cons outweigh the pros by a landslide...So obiviously, paying $300 for an Android is more worth it than paying $300 for an iPhone.
28. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
you are a fandroid of course for you Android is your best option.... I can give my pros and cons for both OS.. but go into details.. people have choices.. some like iOS ans some like Android... there is no best OS.. only the best... for you...
38. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Well said. Course, as usual, Fandroids will go into denial and butthurt mode.

Hey stupid iBiased fan boy, you're talking about carriers' contract prices. These rates are applicable only in the us, but you're too stupid to know about the existence of international market!
The unlocked 4s costs around 850$ actually, where as the high-end DROIDS cost around 400-600$.
25. Astreo (Posts: 102; Member since: 05 May 2011)
No, its not that im too stupid to know its that thats what i see on a daily basis. thats MY personal experience. Im just saying its silly to compare a phone just on pricing. also the reason that iphones are so much unlocked is because the demand for them is that high. if people are willing to pay it why wouldnt they charge? its a business.
26. frydaexiii (Posts: 1444; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Yeah, even in other countries, on carrier contracts, iPhones still cost more than high end droids.I'm from Singapore, and when I got my SGS2 for S$290 (around S$490+, due to early re-contract), the 16GB iPhone cost S$499. So even after an early re-contract penalty, my S2 still cost lower than an iPhone, even thou the S2 is way better.
29. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
of course the iphone cost more... resell value.. Android is like a car.. it cost less as soon as you activate the phone.. with the iphone is like a house... the value goes up...
34. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1717; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
hahaha like a house? in this market? get your head checked dude
39. SleepingOz (unregistered)
This is your dumbest statement so far! keep it up!
44. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
here in Az some house do go up in value... so research before contradicting anything... second.. my brother whom has been a member of the Apple army longer than me... everytimes the a new iphone comes out... ATT renews his contract sells the used iphone and has more than enough moeny to get the new iphone.. and gains about 50.00 bucks each time.. making my statement true...
I will repeated again for Android users... he invests 200.00 for the new iphone.. sells his used iphone for 250.00 earning a new iphone and 50.00 in the process.. starts a new 2 year agreement with ATT. but he is not going anywhere..
45. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
gallito, thats not going up in value, that is buying the phone subsidized and then turning around and selling it unsubsidized.
i can go buy an SGS2 for 200 or less on contract and turn around and sell it for 300 or more on ebay.
you know why most people dont do that? because then they get stuck with a contract and no phone.
wow dude, u really are a nutter.
53. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
not if you are a member of the Apple army and your carrier is ATT. he does it every year...
40. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4839; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
gallitoking, what are you talking about? Apple iPhones most certainly don't go up in value. They will never go up in value because old iPhones are obsolete. Heirlooms like watches, paintings, furniture & exotic cars go up in value, not an iPhone. lol A Rolex or a TAG might go up in value through time but an iPhone would not. C'mon man that's crazy talk.
I think you were just joking.
32. Garavainus (Posts: 2; Member since: 10 Jan 2012)
How about one of my favorite comparisons: iPhone 4S for $200 vs Droid Bionic for $200
- storage: iPhone 16G / Bionic 16G with 16G SD
- display: iPhone 3.5" / Bionic 4.3"
- RAM: iPhone 512MB / Bionic 1024MB
- Front Camera: iPhone VGA / Bionic 1.3 Mpxl
And my personal favorite comparison:
- LTE: iPhone NO / Bionic YES
Yeah ... great deal on that iPOS
55. saiki4116 (Posts: 379; Member since: 31 Mar 2011)
talk about unlocked phone price...

Android will kill iOS and iPhone and other is**t things just wait a little time
9. thebikerboi2 (Posts: 144; Member since: 01 Apr 2011)
Everyone is saying how android is going to kill iPhone just because it's ad impressions went up by 5. I'm sorry but no, iPhone is not dying nor will die for a good while yet. The 4s has been selling in record numbers all over the world and people are saying that the iPhone is dying?
10. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the iphone isnt dying. android is just the better platform. open source ALWAYS outsells a closed aproach.. 100% of the time. android gives you a ton more value for your money than iphone does. and for non fanboys, thats a big deal.
11. thebikerboi2 (Posts: 144; Member since: 01 Apr 2011)
or its the fact that android is avaliable on hundreds of different phones. this adds another plus on to android and another downside, choice and compatability. the compatability issue can ben see in the applications avaliable on android, developers face a almighty chalenge if you want to create an app that works on all andoid devices, theres just too many variants. personaly i like my iphone because of the apps and gaming posobilities.
12. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lolol. i love this old arguement.
hate to tell ya, but iOS is more fragmented than android.
Android may have more variations of phones, but the bulk of them run either 2.2 or 2.3 with only a scant few running ICS or 2.1 and less.
iOS has less variations of phone (iphone, 3g, 3gs,4, 4s) but more varations in its OS spread. Why is that? Because while android comes OTA as soon as the manufacturer releases it, for anyone thats not on iOS5, they have to first learn of the update then go manually do it. Which most people DONT DO.
There is way more variation in iOS versions across those few phones than there are with android's many phones.
Fragmentation? ha. The apple is cut in way more slices than the robot.
14. knights4life03 (Posts: 131; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
Well said remixfa
18. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Exactly. I've said this before but my girlfriend's brother and mom just got the iPhone4 a few months ago on Verizon and neither of them have updated to the latest software or had any clue what I was talking about when I asked them...
22. Dmann (Posts: 165; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
So true. I have updated 3 iphones from relatives. They didn´t even know there were updates and what they were for. They didn´t even remember their iTunes account password.
33. berniecalo (Posts: 7; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
so don't tell us..
48. thebikerboi2 (Posts: 144; Member since: 01 Apr 2011)
ios more fragmented than android, thats a laugh. and yes it is true that there are less variants in android os versions that are curently active. but thats because most people with android smartphones change them every 4 months.
your argument about ios framentation realy is made invalid by one thing, itunes. itunes automaticly alerts you when you have an update. plus apple servers struggled to stay online when ios 5 was released so the majority of iphone variants that can upgrade to ios 5 will be running it.
i know how many dislikes this will probably get just because this page is filled with android trolls.
50. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
your right.. it is a laugh.. i laugh every time someone tries to tell me its not true
your itunes arguement is invalidated by one thing. THE USERS
many if not most iphone users do not use itunes on a regular basis if at all. most people buy an iphone because they think they need it or they want a simple smartphone with better capabilities than their old phone. iphone owners have to be TOLD that there is an update, then log into itunes and physically get the update themselves. Do you really think the majority do that???? lololololol
dude, i work in cell phones. most people dont even put their email in correctly with out help, much less get their own updates.
15. Astreo (Posts: 102; Member since: 05 May 2011)
Why do you people continue to argue about this? its preference. its really starting to get old coming to this site and seeing only "LAWL IPHONE SUX" and " ROFL DROID BLOWS" in every article. its really putting off alot of people. i recommend this website to people all the time and im about to start regretting it. Do you all own stock in google or apple? no then stfu. stop bitching about people who like iphones and the same goes for android. i love a good discussion as much as the next guy but the same arguements are being used on BOTH sides every time and its borderline childish the way this is happening.
17. steev57 (Posts: 8; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Yep, it has gotten pretty ridiculous. Everyone thinks their phone is superior to everything. Logical discussions have become scarce on this site.
19. berniecalo (Posts: 7; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
16. berniecalo (Posts: 7; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
I love my iPhone but I am not a fanboy and I admit it has its flaws. Although I've been and is still tempted to try Android just to try and experience the difference, I just won't do it. Although yes, the iPhone is expensive, I just feel I'd spend more on Android devices in the long run. Why? Because of the speed they release new models. As soon as I buy some brand-spanking new model, 2-3 months after, I'd feel cheated because a model or two will have been released with upgrades I would have preferred if I waited for a while longer. The iPhone lets me enjoy my phone for a very long time. Heck, even with the iPhone 4S released, 3GS owners would still be fine even if it is already 3 years old. Speed is still good, new apps are still compatible with it as well as newer iOS versions. I'd still get the value I paid for even if I paid a bit more at the beginning. This is just my point of view according to my personal experience.

IPhone was yesterday. Today is android ,tomorrow android will rule
27. baldilocks (Posts: 746; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
I hate in app ads. There are tons of apps I had on my iPhone that have yet to have paid versions for Android and it drives me crazy.
iOS apps are generally well more thought out as well. Don't get me wrong, I love my Galaxy S II, but Android apps leave a LOT to be desired.
30. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
bored with the same arguments Android vs. iOS... moving to another topic
56. Johnny_Mnemonic (Posts: 240; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
Gallito if your bored ,way don't you go and play with your Steve jobs doll ;)
54. charulo316 (Posts: 32; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Why is it that certain people complain about Android phones on Verizon being overpriced compared to iphone. The Droid Bionic, Droid Razr, Htc Rezound, and Galaxy Nexus all come with lte and 32gbs of storage. They were $300 but how much is an iphone with 32gb? And no lte? Same price. Which one sounds more expensive now?
