Keep Connected

Internet cafes (rates €1.50 to €5 per hour) are starting to become less common due to widespread offers of free wifi by shops, restaurants or cafes. Sometimes it requires minimum consumption but usually it's free within the premises. Phone shops will often offer internet access, too. In general hotels offer internet access. In several cities, projects exist to provide free "community" hotspots for wireless networking. Passenger lounges at some airports and central railway stations also provide internet access to their customers.

Several pre-paid SIMs allow Internet access for a monthly flat fee, for example those available at Tchibo coffee stores (o2 network, €10/month limited to 500 MB, €20/month for 5 GB) or Aldi (E-Plus network). A regular O2 sim card, which can be used for calls and text messages, is €15 and another €15 buys 1GB of data valid for 1 month. Vodafone offers a prepaid sim card for €25 which includes €22.5 of credit, out of which you can get 300 MB of data for 2 days for €15 and be left with €7.5 of credit.

The general emergency number is 112 and the additional number for less emergent issues for police is 110.

Mobile phone coverage on the four networks (T-Mobile, Vodafone, E-Plus and o2) is excellent across the whole country. UMTS (3G data and HSDPA) and EDGE is also available. UMTS is still somewhat limited to urban areas. All mobile providers use GSM technology on the 900 and 1800 MHz frequency ranges. If you stay for a longer period of time, consider buying a prepaid phone card from one of the mobile phone companies; you won't have trouble finding a T-Mobile (in a "T-Punkt"), Vodafone, E-Plus or O2 store in any major shopping area. In most supermarket chains (for example ALDI), there are prepaid SIM cards from their own virtual providers available. These are normally quite cheap to buy, but expensive for international calls (around €1–2/min), but incoming calls are always free and SMS cost around €0.09–0.19. They are available at: Aldi, Lidl, Penny, Netto, Tchibo, Rewe, toom. A registration via Internet or (expensive) phone call is necessary after buying to activate the SIM card.

The cheapest way to call abroad from Germany is to use the internet cafés run by immigrants. They sell special calling cards that give the best rate to certain countries as well as offer cheap international calls from phone booths. It is also the cheapest way to call landlines in Germany.

Germany's postal system is very efficient, their logistics branch DHL is one of the best companies in this field world-wide, with domestic post or within a radius of 400 kilometres, send within a day. The website of Deutsche Post has an online calculator for postage fees as well as a post office finder. Stamps are available at post offices and sometimes at newsagents or shops selling postcards. Also stamp vending machines can be found at a lot of places around the cities. You can purchase every stamp you need from this machines. They are unique as they accept every coin from 1 cent to 2 euro but change is only given in stamps. It costs about €40 to send a small package to Australia and €1.70 to send an old-fashioned letter to any place in the world outside of Europe. Within Germany, sending postcards costs €0.45 and standard letters €0.55, within Europe it is €0.65 for a postcard, standard letters to places in Europe cost €0.75. Outside Europe, the prices for sending a postcard or standard letter are €1 and €1.70 respectively. Although you will find the old post offices (mainly in the city centre), most of the smaller neighbourhood post offices are part of a small tobacco shop or grocery store. For larger package, you might consider competitive private companies like UPS, DHL or TNT.

Amtrak train

Flag of United States  , Arizona
Tuesday, March 26, 2013

A lazy morning sleeping in before we have to check out of the Maswik Lodge at noon.  We don't leave the Grand Canyon Village till around 3:00 to head back down to Williams Junction to catch the Amtrak train at 9:45, so we have a lot of time to kill.  Never tell a woman she has time to kill when there are places to shop :-)  Cheryl and I managed to find souvenir shops and an actual grocery store for some essentials.  Then we just found some places to sit and people watch--that's one of my favorite things to do.  We ate lunch at one of the cafeteria places, then killed some time and had it all worked out perfectly to catch a shuttle back to the Grand Canyon Railway station in a timely fashion for the 3:00 train.

As we arrived at the station, I realized David had left his jacket back at the last place we had been.  He was tempted to just leave it there, but I remembered his spare glasses were in the pocket, so I sent him back on the shuttle.  In the meantime I checked on our train alternatives.  A second train would run at 4:00 (but we wouldn't have first-class accommodations--no big deal) or we could rent a taxi for $100; either way we still make the Amtrak train at 9:45.  Whew!  After sweating a few bullets, David showed up with about 10 minutes to spare and the jacket in hand and we made our 3:00 train.

There was a little surprise on the train ride back, though.  We looked out the window and there were masked cowboys on horseback chasing the train!  They boarded the train and came down the aisle with guns and wanted our money and our jewelry!!!! Oh, my!!!!  And, to think, I could have taken a taxi and been perfectly safe!  But, I would have missed being serenaded by the Navajo guitarist!

We decided that we would start off the day by walking around Chinatown. We got going around 10:00am and walked a couple of blocks over to Grant Street. What a neat environment. Seeing so much of the culture knowing that this was a functional Chinatown was pretty cool. It had the same similar feel of the Chinatown in Seattle but definitely was more involved in the local's lively hood. We stopped at a couple of shops as we worked our way up to Jackson Street.

From there we found the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company. This side alley shop dates way back and some has said it may have been the start of fortune cookies in America. We peeked inside and loaded up on bags of goodies and paid fifty cents to take a picture.

From there we went over to Stockton Street where the core of Chinatown functions. Littered with small groceries and markets, it was awesome to see the hoards out doing their shopping for the day. Fresh fruits and vegetables galore as well as roasted ducks hanging in the windows. At least we thought they were ducks.

Fishermans Wharf

Next, we found a cable car stop, hoping to jump onboard and ride it all the way to the wharf. Close to a dozen passed by at full capacity. It wasn’t looking good. So we headed down hill, walking about 18 blocks till we reached the waterfront.

Once there we walked around Pier 39, ate and leisurely walked down the wharf towards Ghirardelli Square.

There at the square, there was a street performer that caught our attention by yelling to Carter, "Hey little bro, tell your Dad I need some dough, cause I’m poah!". We all giggled over the comment.

We nibbled on some chocolate and then turned uphill towards the famous Lombard Street. On our way, we ran across the same performer again and he called out to Carter again, “Hey little greeny, can you help me pay for a limoseinny!” He was pretty funny.

We ended the day checking out Lombard Street and catching a cable car back towards our hotel. The weather was awesome for walking around being a tourist. The city, people and weather sure left a good impression on us.

Welcome to the whalers of Lamalera!

After traveling from Maumere by 4 X 4 on some super windy roads, we arrived with travel sickness in the small port town of Larantuka where we spent the night fighting off the mosqitos and being pestered for relationship advise from a 50 year old Indonesian who had fallen for a 20 year old Swedish girl!

Like many parts of Indonesia, with religion being central to the locals lives and beliefs -Larantuka was predominantly catholic and our hotel was adorned with Jesus' a plenty and much catholic decoration.

We caught the daily 'ferry' over to the Island of Lembata (munching our way through fried bananas and dodging the waves flying in through the windows!) which took 3 hours. We were safely delivered by a very kind local lady into a sticky pit of young men jostling with each other to take us in their 'transport' to our hotel. We took the hard option and used our own 'transport' and walked in the stifling humidity to our hotel 1 km from the port.

We had decided that as we were so far east in the chain of Islands that makes up Indonesia, we would continue on to the Whaling village of Lamalera to meet some real life whale hunters.

We arrived in Lamalera after a day of respite and checked into a lovely homestay with 3 generations under one roof and plenty of piglets and cockerels for everyone! We seemed to have landed in a home where the family were very well regarded as there were frequent visitors and many handshakes all round to these strange pale skinned visitors from England.

Lamalera is on the south coast with a lovely rocky bay lined with fishing huts and all the villagers live a little distance from the beach in surprisingly nice houses. Lamalera only has access to electricity from 6pm-6am so as soon as 6pm
arrived the fans and tv's and attached mega-sized speakers are all go.

The men of the families head out in wooden boats on an almost daily basis throughout the year fishing for typical kinds of fish but from May-November they head out in larger cross-family groups to hunt sperm whales. We had been invited out fishing with the family we were staying with but it was too hot for a whole day out in the sun.

When the children finish school, they run down to the sea with handmade harpons (with elastic bands!) and paddle in the rockpools for critters and fish. One boy caught a big octopus and proceeded to smash its brains out against the rocks, he turned it inside out to take its yukkybits out then proudly ran it home to his family. Now that'll stick in our minds! We had some lovely moments where we were sitting on the beach and found
ourselves making faces with the local kids as the only English they knew
was 'Hello Mister' and 'Wayne Rooney/David Beckham'.

By now we are used to the constant attention from the locals as almost every person we walk past in a small village like this, calls out 'Hello Mr' (they say Mister to men and women) to which they laugh hysterically then usually rush off before we can reply. The children usually want a high 5 or a handshake and Russell was caught off guard a few days ago when a 3 year old boy followed up the handshake with a delicate kiss on Russells hand as if he was royalty!

During our two days there we hadnt expected to see any whale action. By talking with the locals who were always out on the beach mending their fishing nets and snoozing in their boats whilst their wives thought they were working hard, we found out they'd recently caught dolphins and saw the remains of them hanging up around the eaves of the houses. The beach also had huge piles of whale and dolphin bones as when the whales are harpooned they are killed and shared with all the families in the village.

We did a little snorkeling in the bay as there was some nice coral and stacks of fish to see. Russell saw 4 lionfish in all their glory so was buzzing on emerging from the water.

We then caught the 4 x 4 for the mountainous slog back to the port town of Lewoleba and prepared for a12 hour sea voyage further east to the island of West Timor.

Hopefully the photos will do this beautiful place justice.

I'd agree with the rest of your ratings, but in the latter part of the first half, I thought Walcott was making England's best runs. He disappeared later, and Capello was right to sub him off, but he wasn't that bad.

Johnson didn't have the best game, so we were weak on that side for most of the game anyway.

As for France:

Re: Announcing: Deep Space Nine Season 10!

Well, as I say, the earlier ones are just adaptations of the existing novels. So if you've read those, then there's little new there. And I was afraid of pissing off the authors.

You're right that "Emancipation" is mostly a here's-where-we're-up-to episode, but I felt that "Ha'mara" (the ninth season finale) left us with so many loose ends and unanswered questions that we needed that kind of episode to set us straight. There's also the idea that any season premiere ought to make everything as clear as possible in case there are any new viewers starting there who might not have seen everything that went before. Hence the idea of the admirals all coming to talk it all out.
What happened between THE SOUL KEY and DESTINY? Find out in DEEP SPACE NINE SEASON 11 !

Also, Geordi's VISOR had been tampered with before, and that tampering almost resulted in the assassination of a visiting leader. If from that point on, they didn't automatically check the VISOR anytime Geordi had been in a compromising situation, they were definitely incompetent.

That is remarkably sloppy. The bridge isn't even labeled right and some random area on the secondary hull is classified as the shuttlebay. Truly terrible.

Re: Did everyone love the three Enterprises scene in TATV?

Nothing could have looked good immediately after that finale. I was more pleased to see Archer walk out into the big stadium Daniels showed him in "Zero Hour" - I was hoping we'd get an angle showing him looking down on himself! But even that scene was somewhat ruined by the facepalm-worthy one-piece costume they put him in.

Re: Star Trek Into Darkness & The Bechdel Test

The difference is that Star Trek has always had some kind of agenda at its heart: feminist, liberal, egalitarian, whatever. If you sell your programme or film as a 'progressive vision of the future', then don't use women as sexual objects to ogle at.

Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek 2009 are not overtly sexist, but they certainly contain problematic gender dynamics. I don't think modern-Trek should treat one half of the population as window dressing or (God knows the old versions certainly did). It's boring, it's anachronistic, and it's letting down young boys and girls.

Crappy cop-out ending that undercut the emotional threads that drove the film.

Shame really, as I really loved it up until the climax. It was like the final words of The Network were coming directly from the writers.

These Cat Tights Feature a Sprawled Kitty Cat Design

By: Misel Saban - Published: • References: etsy & etsy
Kitty cat lovers will go nuts over these hand-drawn cat tights. Unlike traditional cat tights that only incorporate the feline's face into the design, these tights are printed with two kitties sprawled out in all their furriness, enjoying being super lazy.

Designer 'PurpleFishBowl2' designed these cat tights with a vintage flair. The tights are a gray color with a white and black cat hand-drawn print featured over top. The cats look as though they've stretched themselves out over the wearer's legs as their white paws drape across the shin. Better yet, the cat's faces stare adorably at each other as they sit on your knees. The top portion of the tights shows the rest of the cat's tail and back legs that are creatively concealed by the wearer's skirt or dress.

These tights would pair perfectly with summery skirts or dresses. Stats for Lazy Lounging Feline Tights Trending: Older & Chilly

The Freddy Krueger Doll is Sure Bring a New Sense of Fear

The Freddy Krueger Barbie doll's face features those iconic trademark burn marks, fedora and bloodied bladed gloves. Barbie's chest showcases all the damned souls that she's consumed throughout the ages.

The ‘Tower Infinity’ will be the World’s Ta

By: Akihiko Tse - Published: • References: edition.cnn & designtaxi
Korea will construct the world’s first "invisible" skyscraper after it received permission to build the 1,467-feet ‘Tower Infinity.’ Designed by architectural firm GDS Architects, the glass-encased tower, which looks like a large pointy shard of glass, will be equipped with an "LED facade system with optical cameras."

Cameras placed at three different height intervals and on six different sides will capture real-time images of its surrounding, while three other levels, equipped with 500 LED screens, will project those images. In effect, the ‘Infinity Tower’ will capture the images behind the building, enabling it to blend in with the skyline.

Expected to be completed in 2014, the tower, which will be located near Seoul’s Incheon International Airport, will host a movie theater, a theme park that includes a roller coaster and a water park, and several observation decks, including the world’s third-highest observation viewpoint.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists Theo Walcott's latest shoulder injury is not career-threatening.

"Theo had a dislocated shoulder and he had surgery today. He will be out three months," confirmed Wenger.

"But there is no [long-term] concern about that. Once the surgery is done and it is solid, there is no concern at all for the future of Theo Walcott. Not at all."

Wenger also remarked: "Theo is in fact out three months to play, but it is not [necessarily] the first game where he comes back. That is difficult to rate because we have had experience of a player coming back from such an injury.

"It can take time to use his shoulder again and every little protection of the ball, you need your shoulder. At the start they use their body and don't use their shoulder as much as they should. It takes some time to get used to that.

"The experience we had with Theo was that [the last time he injured his shoulder] he played after three months. He was not completely competitive after three months. He could play in the games."

Posted by Jeremy Brockie

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with my Wellington Phoenix teammate Paul Ifill who has a distinguished playing career back in England.

'Iffie' and I touched on plenty of points from his playing days with Millwall, Sheffield United and Crystal Palace including the progress being made by ex-Eagles youngster Victor Moses at Chelsea, the day Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne comprehensively beat him at Palace training, the leadership of Dennis Wise, and Millwall's FA Cup run amongst other things.

Read on for Ifill's insights into a number of different topics.

On Dennis Wise - former Chelsea midfielder who was also player-manager at Millwall in 2003

"I think the way Dennis played, you couldn't help but like him. He was always about the team and led from the front!

"Also, technically he was excellent and chipped in with a few goals and plenty of assists during his time. As he was already a leader on the pitch, he had instant respect when he became player-manager and seemed to manage the change pretty easily. For me he was excellent for my development."

On Nathaniel Clyne - former Palace youngster now with Southampton

"It's funny you should ask as I still remember his first day training in the first team (back in 2008). Our regular right-back Danny Butterfield was injured so Neil Warnock called Clyne into our 11v11 and put me on the left side against him. Warnock told me to run him ragged to see if he was ready. Luckily ten minutes later, Warnock put me out of my misery and put me back in the first team playing on the right side in front of Clyne as he'd hardly given me a kick!

"The staff's only worry was his size but he makes up for that with his tenacity and speed."

On Chelsea young gun Victor Moses also formerly of Palace as well as Wigan Athletic

"Victor was training with the first team at 17 (years old) and you could see even back then that he was destined for the Premier League. He has everything: pace, power, technique. The only question at all was whether he was willing to work hard enough to actually make it as big as he has done!

"As soon as he began playing in the first team, it was evident that his work rate was improving!

"Probably the best teenager I've ever seen and he's only just scratching the surface at Chelsea. Trust me there's plenty more to come."

On Crystal Palace's burgeoning youth academy

"Palace's youth system is excellent and has produced many good players, most recently Moses, Clyne, (Wilfried) Zaha to name a few!

"I believe this is down to the systems in place and the top coaching from the likes of Gary Issot who was excellent with the kids during my time at the club. Also many of the young lads hail from the tougher estates of south London so most are already streetwise and a little tougher than most lads of their age which stands them in good stead for men's football."

On former Palace manager Neil Warnock who signed him from Millwall to Sheffield United

"Neil signed me from Millwall for £1 million (in 2005) and to begin with we had a great relationship!

"He was great as a motivator but not so great at man management. He can be very fiery and some of his rants were legendary.

"We had our disagreements but I always admired his honesty. He once dropped me because his wife had had a dream and told him that I shouldn't play that weekend! Crazy stuff but better than being told you were being rested when you know better.

"There was no big fall-out at Palace. He offered me another year but I felt I needed to move on at that time."

On the best player he played with at Millwall

"Tough to pick just one so I'll cheat and pick a few. Steven Reid, Tim Cahill, Dion Dublin and Dennis Wise.

"Although a lad by the name of Richard Sadlier may have eclipsed them all had his career not been cut short by injury at 24. He was a centre forward from Ireland. Aston Villa had bid £7.5million for him just days before his injury. It was a very sad affair."

On the best player he played with at Sheffield United

"Much easier as I was only there 18 months and Phil Jagielka (now at Everton) was head and shoulders above all of us and he could play almost anywhere. Top player."

On the best player he played with at Crystal Palace

"I'll have to cheat again and pick two wingers here. Victor Moses and Scott Sinclair (now with Manchester City). They were part of the reason I couldn't get a regular game during my second season there as those two were excellent. Very different players but equally talented."

On Millwall's progress in this season's FA Cup bringing back memories of their final with Manchester United in 2004

"I've followed Millwall since the day I left and it's unbelievable to see what they've done this season. I truly hope they can do it if so I'll fly back for the final of course! - (Millwall are currently preparing for the semi-final at Wembley against Wigan Athletic on April 13)

"It brings back some amazing memories. I was only 24 at the time (we lost 3-0 to United) and it was so special. Something I dreamed about as a child and a great day for friends and family."

On West Ham United legend Billy Bonds being appointed Millwall manager in 1997

"I was only just starting as a youth team player when he was appointed and didn't know much about the history (between arch rivals West Ham and Millwall) or rivalry at that time but I remember the fans going mad when he was appointed!

"He didn't last long but did give myself and Tim Cahill our first pro contracts."

On his own career

"I honestly believe I can carry on for 3,4 or 5 years yet. I'm not even contemplating retirement. I believe the minute you do that, subconsciously you start to slack off a bit and at my age (33), I can't afford to do that.

"Injury permitting, I'd love to carry on and eventually move into coaching in New Zealand and at the moment I have no plans to return to the UK."

Obituary: Herman Ficklin

November 17, 1929 - December 28, 2011

Herman Ficklin passed away on Wednesday, December 28, 2011, after enduring four years of health problems. All of his family had spent the day by his side at Kaiser Hospital Fremont, and his wife was nearby until his final moment.

Herman was born on November 17, 1929, in Leake County, Mississippi, to Asberry Ficklin, Sr., and Lona Black Ficklin. He was the oldest of four brothers.

Attempting to make a better life for their family, Herman's parents moved with him and his brothers out of the segregated South to Richmond, California.

Herman dreamed of joining the U.S. Marine Corps. While attending Berkeley High, he suffered a spinal-cord injury in a sandlot football game that brought his dream to a halt. Herman then had to face intense physical therapy, completing high school and beyond in a wheelchair.

After getting an associate's degree from Contra Costa Junior College, he forged ahead at the University of California, Berkeley, San Francisco State University, and then eventually earned his MBA from Cal State University, Hayward (now Cal State East Bay).

Herman married his wife Jean in 1963, and they moved with her four children to Newark, California. The family was originally supposed to move to Hayward. Due to discriminatory practices in a real estate office, the family instead ended up in Newark and became one of the first black families to ever live in the city.

He was a professional employment representative at Lockheed Missiles and Space (now Lockheed Martin Space Systems Co.) in Sunnyvale, retiring after 33 years. Herman was ambitious, astute and determined in his work. It was at Lockheed where he mentored many employees. As a retiree, he enjoyed lunch gatherings with his colleagues.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Herman was actively involved with Indoor and Good Sports Club, where he served as treasurer, and Western Disabled Alliance. Western Disabled Alliance's primary goal was to eliminate architectural barriers in public places.

In later years, he supported the Afro-American Cultural and Historical Society, Cal State East Bay's School of Business and the UC Berkeley Library Fund. It was a joy for him to assist students financially so that they could excel and pursue a career. He was also proud to have fulfilled his mother's dream of succeeding in life despite growing up in segregation, even though she didn't live to celebrate that dream with him.

In Newark, where he lived for 48 years, Herman worshipped at First Presbyterian Church of Newark, and he supported the Newark Arts Council and Afro-American Cultural and Historical Society.

Herman was preceded in death by his devoted parents; one brother, Lanier Ficklin; a grandson, Kevin Green; and a daughter, Aurelia Jeannette Ricard.
