Flights to Lappeenranta from Europe
Flights from Lappeenranta
Surrounded by the ramparts, this historic district represents the original town which was founded in a medieval trading centre during the Swedish regime in 1649. Most of the buildings date back to the Russian era, which lasted from 1741 to 1917. Following renovation, they now house private residences, handicraft workshops and cultural and business premises. Graced with a fascinating history, magnificent scenery and a myriad attractions, the Fortress is today a popular tourist destination. The History The city of Lappeenranta was officially founded in 1649 by Queen Christina of Sweden, but the tale of the town had begun much earlier: in the Middle Ages, the Fortress became a bustling market place. Following the Battle of Lappeenranta in 1741, Sweden had to surrender the Fortress of Lappeenranta to Russia. A monument was erected in front of the ramparts of the Fortress in memory of the thousands of soldiers who perished in the battle. The fortification work which the Swedes had begun was subsequently continued by the Russians. The oldest surviving building in the Fortress date from the Russian period in the 1770s. Among those directing the fortification works was Count Aleksander Suvorov who had been assigned to the task and sent to south-east Finland by the Empress of Russia, Catherine the Great. The Fortress thus became an important link in the three-stage-fortification system designed to protect St. Petersburg. The Lappeenranta fortress today Today the Fortress area is an interesting attraction for tourists as well as local people: you can have a delicious meal in Linnoituksen Krouvi restaurant (open during summer time), enjoy your dessert at the lovely old fashioned café Majurska, visit the handicraft shops and buy some local souvenirs to take home! There are also three museums located in the Fortress: South Karelia Art museum, South Karelia museum and the Cavalry museum – and don´t forget to take a picture of the oldest Orthodox church in Finland.Website: http://www.gosaimaa.com/en/Activities/Sights/Attractions
The rapids were formed about 5000 years ago, when the water masses of Saimaa broke through the Salpausselkä ridge, next to Vuoksenniska. A dam was built to control the rapids in 1929. Nowdays you can admire the freely thundering rapids in summer during rapids displays. Rapids displays from 23th of June to 28th of August 6pm, daily. Water is released for 20 minutes through the dam gates to the River Vuoksi crossing the centre of Imatra, to the accompaniment of music by Sibelius, Darude or Nightwish. Shows with spectacular lights are also organised on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.Address: Imatrankoskentie 3, 55100 IMATRAWebsite: http://www.gosaimaa.com/en/Activities/Sights/Attractions/

42 U.S. Code § 4022 - State and local land use controls
(a) Requirement for participation in flood insurance program
(1) In general
After December 31, 1971, no new flood insurance coverage shall be provided under this chapter in any area (or subdivision thereof) unless an appropriate public body shall have adopted adequate land use and control measures (with effective enforcement provisions) which the Administrator finds are consistent with the comprehensive criteria for land management and use under section 4102 of this title.
(2) Agricultural structures
(A) Activity restrictions
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the adequate land use and control measures required to be adopted in an area (or subdivision thereof) pursuant to paragraph (1) may provide, at the discretion of the appropriate State or local authority, for the repair and restoration to predamaged conditions of an agricultural structure that—
(B) Premium rates and coverage
To the extent applicable, an agricultural structure repaired or restored pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall pay chargeable premium rates established under section 4015 of this title at the estimated risk premium rates under section 4014 (a)(1) of this title. If resources are available, the Administrator shall provide technical assistance and counseling, upon request of the owner of the structure, regarding wet flood-proofing and other flood damage reduction measures for agricultural structures. The Administrator shall not be required to make flood insurance coverage available for such an agricultural structure unless the structure is wet flood-proofed through permanent or contingent measures applied to the structure or its contents that prevent or provide resistance to damage from flooding by allowing flood waters to pass through the structure, as determined by the Administrator.
(C) Prohibition on disaster relief
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any agricultural structure repaired or restored pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall not be eligible for disaster relief assistance under any program administered by the Administrator or any other Federal agency.
(D) Definitions
For purposes of this paragraph—
(i) the term "agricultural structure" means any structure used exclusively in connection with the production, harvesting, storage, raising, or drying of agricultural commodities; and
(b) Community rating system and incentives for community floodplain management
(1) Authority and goals
The Administrator shall carry out a community rating system program, under which communities participate voluntarily—
(A) to provide incentives for measures that reduce the risk of flood or erosion damage that exceed the criteria set forth in section 4102 of this title and evaluate such measures;
(B) to encourage adoption of more effective measures that protect natural and beneficial floodplain functions;
(2) Incentives
The program shall provide incentives in the form of credits on premium rates for flood insurance coverage in communities that the Administrator determines have adopted and enforced measures that reduce the risk of flood and erosion damage that exceed the criteria set forth in section 4102 of this title. In providing incentives under this paragraph, the Administrator may provide for credits to flood insurance premium rates in communities that the Administrator determines have implemented measures that protect natural and beneficial floodplain functions.
(3) Credits
The credits on premium rates for flood insurance coverage shall be based on the estimated reduction in flood and erosion damage risks resulting from the measures adopted by the community under this program. If a community has received mitigation assistance under section 4104c of this title, the credits shall be phased in a manner, determined by the Administrator, to recover the amount of such assistance provided for the community.
(4) Reports
Not later than 2 years after September 23, 1994, and not less than every 2 years thereafter, the Administrator shall submit a report to the Congress regarding the program under this subsection. Each report shall include an analysis of the cost-effectiveness of the program, any other accomplishments or shortcomings of the program, and any recommendations of the Administrator for legislation regarding the program.
(c) Replacement of mobile homes on original sites
(1) Community participation
The placement of any mobile home on any site shall not affect the eligibility of any community to participate in the flood insurance program under this chapter and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (notwithstanding that such placement may fail to comply with any elevation or flood damage mitigation requirements), if—
(B) such mobile home was relocated from such site because of flooding that threatened or affected such site; and

The stay was very nice and the island is beautiful. The people were nice. The only concern was about the aerotaxi company (CR Aviation) that flies from Vilankulos to the island, they offer to adjust the flight back to Vilankulos to the departing flight to Maputo, but they did want our flight to match the other passenger's schedule. It was different information than the one provided during the reservation. The Manager was very unpleasant and rude."
The Pestana Ihaca is a great place to stay for a few days rest and relaxation on a beautiful island easily accessed by ferry from Maputo. The hotel provides accommodation and service of a standard very much in keeping with it's location - low-key and relaxed, not luxurious, but comfortable and friendly."

Carbon County managed to register a slight 0.6 employment expansion rate in August, despite the major economic impacts associated with the Crandall Canyon disaster and the layoffs at a local UtahEnergy coal mine.
Carbon County reported 9,322 non-farm salaried and wage jobs in August 2007, compared to 9,270 in 2006, indicated the latest data compiled by the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
The number of positions in the local labor market climbed from 9,201 jobs in July 2007, but dropped from the 9,666 employment opportunities posted in Carbon County in June.
At the state level, Utah's number of non-farm wage and salaried jobs dipped in August, moving downward to 4.5 percent growth during the last year.
Nevertheless, the statewide employment expansion rate continued to exceed Utah's long-term average of 3.3 percent job growth per year since 1950.
Approximately 54,500 jobs have been created in Utah economy during the last 12 months, raising total wage and salary employment statewide to 1,262,800.
The increase translates to in the neighborhood of 4,500 employment opportunities created per month statewide.
Utah's second primary indicator of labor market conditions - the statewide unemployment rate - measured at 2.6 percent in August 2007, down from last year's 2.9 percent jobless level.
Approximately 35,000 Utahns were unemployed in August 2007 compared to 37,700 in 2006.
"Utah's employment growth remains in high gear. Even though the employment growth rate moved down slightly and may yet continue to move slowly downward, our growth will still remain aggressive and above average," pointed out Mark Knold, DWS economist.
"Lately, I get asked how the sub-prime mortgage situation will affect Utah and the answer seems to be not much. Utah didn't experience a high usage of this mortgage voodoo, so our exposure to its negativity is limited. Even those who did use this financing vehicle may be able to weather their mortgage-rate adjustments, anchored upon Utah's strong job market and wage increases. Utah's economic growth momentum should be enough to mitigate any negative mortgage influence that may arise," explained Knold.
All of Utah's industrial sectors continued to add labor force positions in August. The statewide employment expansion occurred in different magnitudes and at varying rates, according to the department of workforce services economist.
Construction led job growth with more than 12,000 positions created at locations throughout Utah since August 2006.
However, the construction sector's expansion rate has subtly abated as 2007 has progressed.
"The decline is relatively small. But the point is not so much the amount of the decline, but the decline itself. It is a directional signal of a trend. This should come as no surprise, however, and with no alarm as the powerful construction growth of the past three years eventually had to start to abate. And with residential construction having passed its peak in 2006 and the current noticeable drop in house-building permits, this is all par for the course," explained Knold.
Non-residential construction should continue at a strong pace statewide for several years, providing a soft landing in the face of anticipated fewer residential housing approvals due to demographic factors, continued the department of workforce services economist.
The state's recent economic boom was primarily founded in a population surge fueled by an increase in the number of 20- to 30-year-old Utahns entering the labor force and the entire socio-economic sphere.
"Utah's economy could not absorb these new entrants in the early 2000s and is, therefore, now rapidly expanding to accommodate these new and emerging workers," noted the DWS economist. "Not only are they finding their place in the labor force, but with marriages and subsequent household formations, they also become a large group of consumers. They buy their first house, stock it with furniture, buy cars, diapers, needs and luxuries befitting the spending patterns of their age profile. They are the primary reason for Utah's recent construction boom. We have built to accommodate them. They are a large new group of consumers and we have built many new retail outlets to capture their dollars."
Utah's trade, transportation, and utilities sector added approximately 11,000 employment opportunities statewide during the last year and the number is slowly trending upward as more retail space comes on line.
Utah also continued to add quality positions to the state's economic portfolio.
"Some of this we see in the addition of 7,500 new jobs since last August in the professional and business services area," said Knold.
The sector includes staffing agencies. But the agencies' growth has dramatically slowed as labor has become a valuable commodity in a statewide environment of low unemployment.
Professional positions requiring knowledge through education and institutional experience accounted for the majority of the sector's expansion rate.
Service jobs that pay well include accountants, engineers, architects, consultants and researchers.
Health care continues to be a vibrant and growing industry in Utah, pointed out Knold. In the industry identification structure established by the federal government, health care and education are combined.
The combined sector added 5,200 jobs during the last 12 months.
"But make no mistake - most of that growth is occurring on the health care side. As population increases, so do illnesses, accidents and health maintenance needs," commented Knold.
At the national level, the United States' unemployment rate remained level at 4.6 percent in August.
Since August 2006, the U.S. economy added 1.5 million jobs nationwide, representing an employment growth rate of 1.1 percent.
The approximately 54,500 employment opportunities created in Utah represent about 5 percent of all labor market positions added nationwide in the last year.
Utah comprises less than 1 percent of all employment opportunities reported throughout the U.S., concluded the department of workforce services economist.

President: Clare Martin, M.A., D.F.Astrol.S., Dip.Psych.Astrol.
The Faculty of Astrological Studies was founded in London on 7th June 1948 at 19.50 BST. Its aim, then and now, is to raise the standard of astrological education and to provide a first class professional training for the practising astrologer. Over the years more than 10,000 students from over 90 countries have enrolled on the Faculty's courses. The Faculty is internationally recognised and respected and, as the list of alumni shows, many of the world's leading astrologers have been students of the Faculty. Liz Greene, Mike Harding, Charles Harvey, Julia Parker, Melanie Reinhart and Howard Sasportas are just a few of the Faculty's Diploma holders who went on to become leading lights in the world of modern astrology. The Diploma of the Faculty of Astrological Studies is a highly regarded professional qualification, and Faculty Diploma holders are entitled to use the letters D.F.Astrol.S. and to be included in the Faculty's Directory of Astrological Consultants.
The Faculty's Courses
The Faculty aims to guide its students through astrology's abundance and complexity, as they gradually build their knowledge, learn to think for themselves, and to use astrology with skill and confidence. The Faculty's courses are designed to provide a comprehensive, thorough and ethically aware professional training for the modern consultant astrologer.
Foundation Course
The Foundation Course is designed for complete newcomers to astrology and for those who wish to consolidate their previous knowledge and reading within a structured course. The Foundation Course provides a basic understanding of the language of astrology and the ability to calculate and interpret a birth chart. It also includes an introduction to the astronomy of the solar system, an overview of the history of western astrology, and students will be encouraged to start exploring their own ideas about some of the philosophical questions that arise from the study and practice of astrology.
The Foundation Course is designed in three one-term Modules, taught over one year at Classes and estimated to take Distance Learning students one year to complete. There are no formal admission requirements, although basic mathematical skills and good written and verbal communication skills are necessary. Students for whom English is a foreign language should have the ability to write in English reasonably well. Completion of the first three Modules is a significant achievement in itself and will provide Students with a solid basis for more advanced study.
Diploma Course
The Foundation and Diploma courses are designed as one complete, comprehensive training from beginner to professional astrologer level. The topics and skills taught at Foundation level are developed and extended further in the Diploma course, along with the introduction of new techniques and skills. The Diploma course consists of eight modules and is designed for students who have already completed the Foundation Course or a similar course of study. The Diploma course is divided into three progressively more complex levels of study, and is likely to take students between two and three years to complete. Students are welcome to enrol on any of the Faculty's modules whether or not they intend to gain the Faculty's qualifications. Students may simply wish to study only one or two modules in order to develop their individual astrological knowledge and expertise.
Studying with the Faculty
The Faculty's courses are modular, providing flexibility and choice, enabling students to study by a variety of methods as it suits them - by Distance Learning, live Classes or at Summer School. Students are free to choose, module by module, whichever method of learning most suits their circumstances at the time.
Distance Learning
The advantage of Distance Learning is that students can begin their studies at any time and work through the modules at their own pace. Each module comes with a six-month period of tuition, during which students have the one-to-one support of their own personal tutor.
Classes and weekend seminars
Classes are held in central London. The advantage of studying astrology at live classes is the opportunity to meet like minded people and to learn from the experience and examples of other students. Weekend Seminars in London cover a variety of core course modules and other optional specialist subjects. A Saturday fast track Foundation Course is held each year, beginning in January. Modules held at weekends in London are particularly popular with Distance Learning students, providing a good balance between home study and live classes.
Summer School
The Faculty's annual Summer School brings together students from all over the world for weekend and week-long programmes suitable for both beginners and experienced astrologers. It is also possible to study complete Diploma Modules at the Faculty's Summer School.
Faculty tutors
All the Faculty's tutors are holders of the Faculty's Diploma and have a great deal of astrological and tutoring experience. Their aim is to ensure that students have a rewarding and individually supported learning experience. Whichever method of studying is chosen, the tutors support students throughout each module, review their work, suggest extra reading, provide specific examples and generally ensure that students have all the guidance and feedback they need to work through to the successful completion of each module.
Qualifying with the Faculty
There is no pressure to take any of the formal exams or assessments and many students study the Faculty's courses simply for pleasure. Many students do, however, decide to work towards gaining the Faculty's Certificate and Diploma qualifications. All examinations and assessments, which carry credits towards qualification, are undertaken by students in their own time at home. On gaining the Faculty's Diploma and signing the Code of Ethics, graduates are entitled to use the letters D.F.Astrol.S. after their name and to be listed in the Faculty's directory of consultant astrologers. External candidates are also eligible to gain the Certificate and Diploma qualifications provided they complete and pass all the Examinations and written assignments.
Academic options at Diploma level
The successful completion of relevant modules on the MA course in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology at Bath Spa University College and/or the MA course in the Study of Mysticism and Religious Experience at the University of Kent, Canterbury are now accepted as part qualification towards the Faculty's Diploma.

Rating: 3.75 out of 4 votes cast
Color is great
The color of my jeans is great; I don't remember the exact description for the blue I got, but there's a kind of lilac look to them. The only thing I don't like is that they are a little high waisted for me (I have a very short torso).
Portland, OR
Not so great
Thought the colors were so great and could have made up several outfits. However, the front of the jeans wrinkled badly shortly after putting them on and the seat of the pants bagged terribly. Glad they worked for these other two people. Not for me. I'm size 10 in case it matters.

Great Fit
Love these jeans.....great fabric for the summer months, and the colors are awesome. There is just enough stretch that gives these jeans a perfect fit without getting that baggy look at the end of the day.
Marlboro, NY
These are great pants
I got these pants in wine, I got the striped sweat and solid long sleeve suede-like ballerina shoes and long sleeve knit top all in wine and I love love it. Its all a beautiful color. The pants fell so well on. I want to get the plum color next. I recommend all these items.

has anyone noticed that all of the cars just kept going????? nothing to see here just a jet sitting on the side of the road with a huge dust cloud coming from it....lol
That's Brasil for you.
That will buff out
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA - okay Del Griffith! ;)
Seriously, that must have hurt! For a minute I thought everyone was speaking spanish - so I thought it was L.A., but then realized it was portuguese...
Sau Paulo has a real bad track record - an airbus just blew up a gas station a little while ago.
When the plane came to a rest the dirt stopped getting blown away so I thought the engines were shut down. Later when the fire department showed up - you can see the water being blown back by engines. I didn't read the article - I don't have time to - but if the engines were still running - did the pilot loose consciousness? It ooked painful but not lethal.
In any case:
.... did the pilot loose consciousness ....
You're kidding, aren't you.
That's funny - I see what you did just there.
Sorry, I mispoke- did the person called a pilot his whole career until he had the worst day of his career when he most certainly got injured- lost his license, embarrassed himself, and may have done something any one of us most certainly have done in the thousands of hours weve flown (landed long, hydroplaned) - only in his case he didn't recover.
Sure - he's got egg on his face - and no doubtedly made a mistake that day. But haven't we all made mistakes? In fact- have any of us ever had a "perfect flight"?
I'm just in a pissy mood - sorry I am taking it out on you. I would have giggled in the past but I am a little depressed lately. It was two years ago I had an accident at work and hurt my spine in three places and my left knee. I most likely will never fly again and live in constrain severe pain. Now I see things differently. I used to feel invincible - and then one day while putting to plane to sleep at the FBO at the end of our flying day I slipped and fell hard - hit my head on the engine (apparently because I messed up my neck really bad from a sharp object - and haven't been back in a cockpit ever since.
Now I think of things from a human experience rather than normal. I think of how a few seconds of your life can change it forever. And that it doesn't even take a bad decision for bad things to happen to you. One minute you're fine.... Poof.
If there is a god people have told me he wanted me to remind people to appreciate each day because you never know when life will change forever.
I'll try not to be so melencoly in future postings - this two year anniversary is really not cheering me up very much.
"the driver failed to stop and the plane skidded"...those crazy Citation drivers...a menace to highway traffic everywhere.
"The driver failed to stop" Seriously?
And the crowd goes wild...new long jump record set by...Cessna Baby Jet
That's gotta be hard on the spine coming down like that.
We're going to need some 50 weight and some gauze pads.
I'm gonna need about 10 quarts of antifreeze... preferably Prestone... No... No, make that Quaker State...
I think the pilot was texting at the time...
Weeeeeeeee!!! It's a bunny! ;)
Are you kidding me? Its a kangaroo!! haha he bounced pretty good.
The gear remained attached after the first bounce. Wow!
I can only imagine what the voice recorder captured... "I've just shat mis pantalones".
ay dios mio
Congonhas needs to change and fast. This is TAM crash all over again!!
with the TAM crash the A320 had a faulty left thrust reverse a it was wet and stromy this was also when São Paulo Congonhas Airport didnt have grooves in the runway to get the runway free of standing water
Unstabilized approach!!!
it looks as though the pilot came in to fast and touched down to far up the runway with not enough distance to stop or there was a mechanical faliure with the brakes. but if the pilot ssaw he couldnt make it he should of done a go-around but why didnt he?
But braking is done usually at 60kts and below.. at the point he would've been braking there probably (without looking at the airport data) wouldn't have been time to add power and lift. He was already hot and when he hit that burm had enough airspeed to actually climb momentarily.
the pilot could have tried turning to do a slide type thing. also what about reverse thrust or does the ciation not have it
I agree with Gabriela. Congonhas has never been a safe airport and without proper government interference, nothing is going to change and this may become more and more of a commonplace at Congonhas.
Seems like Congonhas airport has always has a bad reputation even though the most well known accident involved an aircraft with a defective thrust reverser and a wet runway missing the proper grooved surface. If I remember correctly, even before this accident, Congonhas was an airport with a very tight runway configuration, and a difficult approach profile that worried even the best of pilots. At least, that was the impression the "Air Emergency" Discovery Channel episode alluded to when it profiled the Airbus Congonhas accident referenced here a couple of times.
I hope the passengers are okay...
If you look at this video
in the aerial video it looks like the plane went off the end of the runway at 45 degrees to the runway.
It's looks like it's closer to being lined up with the taxiway that crosses 17L on the way to 17R.
Sorry, I meant crosses 17R on the way to 17L
So Runway 17L-35R is 4708'with average landing distance for the CJ being about 2700' and speed of approx 90+-kts at touchdown, have to wonder if it landed with the wind. It didn't seem to have shed much speed when it went off. Or landed very long. Hey never know that old ground effect scenario could have played a part and floated it for a bit if they came in a little too hot. Ahhh what do I know I wasn't there to see it. Just guessing here :)
Lucky bounce. That could have ended worse if they had plowed head on into that barrier or into the traffic. Citations are built tough.
Mostly a cloud of dust and then a little smoke. Was said runway was wet, like the way when he hit the bank after leaving the runway how it shot into the air then landed on the fence which stopped it.
I think he needs a new drivers license..
another one bites the dust! Way to go Tigger!
What is wrong with this accident, it is just that the pilot thought that he was flying one of those strange automobile/aircraft hybrid contraptions and a wall happened to interfere, that is all.
That'll leave a mark..../'o'\
I bet the pilots are at least 3 to 4 inches shorter after going over that bump.
Looks just like my first landing with a GWS Beaver RC plane! Glad they are OK!
So much money. so little structural integrity. I never imagined "popping a wheelie" in a CJ- wonder how far he could have carried it without that pesky road getting in the way?
A little duct tape and super glue and that baby will be like brand new!!
cleared for the option has new meaning
Seriously folks? Would you stop your car and try scale an 8 foot concrete wall between the highway and a possible burning airplane? Really? The only option for anyone on the highway is to call 911 and report the incident....however I'm sure the control tower dispatched the firetrucks immediately.
What do they dial for emergency in Brazil?
I think people are commenting more on the fact that nobody even slowed down.
places to be, people to see...
Plane for sale! Dlight damage!
Pilots are referred to as "drivers" in Brazil
I live in Brazil and never heard that before! lol
That explains a lot!!
Judging by this video, the test to get a liscense seems to be the same!!

Eggs in HTC's One Basket Showing Some Cracks
HTC may have thought it was covering the bases by being a little bit Android a little bit Windows Phone, but what it ended up being was uncommitted to either and left in the dust by Samsung and Nokia. Its One product line is really all the company has going for it, but supply chain issues pushed back its shipping date, resulting in a horrible Q1 performance. It's not clear how, if or when HTC can whip itself back into fighting shape.
Apr 9, 2013 10:56 AM PT
HTC announced earnings for the first quarter of 2013 that were decidedly not pretty. Its net profit dropped some 98 percent, sinking to 85 million New Taiwan Dollars, or US$2.8 million -- the lowest quarterly earnings for the company since its launch in 2006.
HTC posted $1.4 billion in revenue for the quarter ending March 31, 2013, a 37 percent drop year over year. Its revenue guidance for the period had been between $1.6 billion and $2 billion.
Simply put, these numbers are dismal, said Andreas Scherer, managing partner of Salto Partners.
The delayed shipment of HTC One, caused by a shortage in crucial camera components, is a widely acknowledged reason for the slump.
Deeper Woes
However, HTC's problems go deeper than that. The company has not achieved the brand awareness that is so necessary in the global smartphone market today, Scherer told the E-Commerce Times.
This problem has been particularly acute since late 2011, when competition between Samsung and Apple became more intense. HTC's One series of handsets was supposed to carve out its own niche, but success so far has been limited -- and the recent shipment delay is hardly helping.
"The long-term success for HTC is based on its ability to resolve its supply chain issues, its full commitment to produce high-quality phones at a competitive price point, as well as an improved brand awareness, which it is lacking today," Scherer said.
HTC would also do well to pick a platform and make a commitment to it, Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times.
"HTC was once favored by Google and Microsoft, but by being committed to neither platform exclusively, both customer bases gravitated to vendors who were more committed to them," Enderle said.
"Android is now mostly Samsung and Windows phone mostly Nokia. As a result, HTC is an also-ran on both platforms and is massively outmatched by both companies," he pointed out.
When you are a small player, you have to focus and commit, Enderle concluded, and HTC's lack of commitment has led to its downfall.
Collaborating With Facebook
Even last week's announcement of a collaboration with Facebook -- HTC First with Home by Facebook -- will likely not be a competitive differentiator for long.
Facebook Home, a family of Android-based smartphone apps that can be downloaded from Google Play, will be available April 12 on the HTC One, HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III, S4 and Note II.
"The launch of HTC One -- as well as HTC First, the first device that will have Facebook Home preinstalled -- will give the company a boost in the next few months," Scherer said.
However, this initial edge will erode quickly, he added, as Facebook Home will be available as a download for all Android devices.
The company's true edge lies with its HTC One product line, Scherer maintained. The latest release is now expected this month.
Unfortunately for HTC, the phone will debut as other new products are also entering the market -- not the least of which is rival Samsung's Galaxy S4.

What were Mets' farmhands up to in the Arizona Fall League this weekend? All of the Mets' pitchers threw Thursday, and with the AFL taking Sunday off, there were just two games – Friday and Saturday – to talk about.
CF Darrell Ceciliani – Friday: 2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI. The hits were his first in three games for Surprise. At 22, he's playing for an Opening Day assignment to AA Binghamton in 2013.
CF Cesar Puello – Saturday – 2-for-5, RBI, K. Puello has at least one hit in each of his three games in the AFL, going 5-for-14 (.357) but five strikeouts and zero walks to go along with one HBP. This would be a good time to start learning the more disciplined approach he will need in AA and the big leagues.

Meet Billy Raye. Billy is a 51-year-old bicycle courier. Billy was out of work. According to Friday's edition of The Wall Street Journal, Billy has managed to find employment. Billy, who is not a member of any labor organization, has been hired by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters (MARCC)—to walk a picket line.
The MARCC is picketing outside the MacPherson building in Washington, D.C., these days. The building is home to a satellite campus of a Chicago-based school of psychology, only slightly ironic given the schizoid nature of what's happening outside their facility.
The MARCC is miffed because the school is using Can-Am Contractors—a non-union outfit—to put up drywall. And the union boys are outraged at the idea of Can-Am using "scabs" to do work that could have been done by MARCC members at a higher rate of pay.
Keep in mind, the union isn't so incensed that they're doing their own picketing. Instead, they've hired Billy and some other less fortunate types to do their epithet-shouting and sandwich-board wearing for them. To put it bluntly, the union has hired scabs to protest against Can-Am… using scabs.
In one of the all-time great too-many-obvious-jokes moments, Vincente Garcia, the union supervisor of picketing (and irony-proofing) at the MacPherson building, said regular MARCC members can't handle the picketing themselves because, "For a lot of our members, it's really difficult to have them come out, either because of parking or something else."
Billy Raye clearly doesn't have a problem with stowing his bike, nor, according to The Journal, does he even care why he's there. "I'm getting paid to march around and sound off." Such is life in the union universe.
The current national unemployment rate is hovering around 9.5 percent. Factoring in the likely 4 percent to 5 percent who are either retired, dead, not looking for work or picketing the MacPherson Building contractors, the real rate is closer to 14 percent. That's a lot of available scab picketers.
According the article, the MARCC pays scabs to man close to 150 picket lines throughout the D.C. and Baltimore areas on a daily basis. Scab picketers get $8.25/hour to walk in circles and hurl pro-union invective at whatever non-union labor is taking place in their location.
Presuming 50 scabs per picket line (the number at the MacPherson building), working (drinking coffee and shouting in semi-unison) 20 hours a week, the MARCC is coughing up $8,250 per week, per picket line. Even if we cut the number in half, a labor union is paying non-union labor a little more than $600,000 weekly to… well… work for them.
How many of the unemployed picketers-for-hire could be turned into full-fledged MARCC members by redirecting the aforementioned sum towards job training? How many Billy Rayes could hop off their bicycles and into a job site for the kind of dough he and his fellow temporary picketers are pocketing to scream bloody murder on behalf of the union-affiliated companies which don't hire them? Most importantly, why does someone Outside the Asylum need to point this out?
When the United Auto Workers' massive contracts played a large part in turning General Motors into Government Motors, I couldn't help but think that the days of unions protecting American laborers from predatory employers had faded into the swirling mists of history. When the Service Employees International Union sent its goons in to play the heavies for Democrats confronted with popular opposition to Obamacare, I realized the unions were beginning to morph into the sort of thugs against whom they were formed to defend. It's as if the Molly Maguires bought the mine and immediately reopened the company store.
Now the unions are hiring scabs to do the work union members don't want (or at least, can't find convenient parking for.) Don't get me wrong—I have no issue with what the unions call scab labor. I use "scab" not as a pejorative, but as a demonstrative. The MARCC or one of the other groups around the country who employ similar tactics could use scab-picketer money to turn scab-picketers into dues-paying workers. Dues-paying workers would boost union membership rolls, union pensions, union officials and—most importantly to union officials—union officials' bank accounts.
Think of the major American corporations which could be turned into semi-government-controlled operations! Imagine the coordinated assaults on anti-Obamacare protestors! Visualize the Brobdingnagian brigades of union muscle, riding out like the proverbial Assyrian cohort, gleefully pounding senior citizens on behalf of their Democrat Darius.
The best part is: they already have the purple shirts.

Hincapie Sportswear Equipe Cycling Cap £6.40
A small headed cap from Big George that's not made for larger than medium heads
Weight 30g Contact www.hincapie.com
Previous Review
Next Review
The Hincapie Equipe Cap is a lightweight nylon version of the classic cotton cycling casquette and it also differs from the norm in that instead of being sewn together in the more common three-panel construction the Equipe Cycling Cap is made from four panels that are darted and gathered centrally at the crown.
Made from a from a rip-stop nylon instead of your typical cotton the Hincapie cap is considerably lighter and thinner than a cotton cap making it easier to fit under a helmet, if that's your style. The RipStop material is windproof and water resistant so as well as not getting overloaded and weighed down with sweat on hot days it offers a certain amount of wind and rain protection during less clement weather. Win Win. Win capie. It also looks quite stylish and will do for some time as the sublimated graphics won't wash out or fade like those on a cotton cap.
The cap comes in just the one size like most cycling caps, and that's where it goes wrong, because one size doesn't fit all. The Hincapie Equipe Cap sits high on the head, which isn't such a problem in itself but it has an insufficient circumference that makes it too tight on anything bigger than a medium head. On this slightly-larger-than-medium sized test skull the Hincapie cap was too small, uncomfortably small. It took about fifteen minutes before the cap became impossible to wear thanks to the tension headache it caused, a situation not helped by the 'durable bill insert' of the peak which is incredibly firm and the sharp pointy ends dig in to the temples quite painfully.
There's a lot to like about the Hincapie Equipe Cycling Cap. For starters it's made by George Hincapie's clothing company, who doesn't love Big Goerge? Yeah, well I do. Hincapie Sportswear is run by his aunt and uncle in Colombia so it's not some faceless corporation trading on a name but a real family affair and you'd hope that all George's cycling experience would make some great kit. Maybe it does, but not in the case of this cycling cap. Despite its many lightweight, wicking, wind and water resistant good points its one size is just too small to fit everyone, big headed riders need not apply as anyone with a larger than medium head will find it prohibitively uncomfortable.
road.cc test report
Make and model: Hincapie Sportswear Equipe Cycling Cap
Size tested: One size
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Hincapie Sportswear simply say the Equipe Cycling Cap is a quick-drying, lightweight Nylon version of a European classic, and to be fair there's not a lot you can say about a cycling cap. But it is lightweight, and quick-drying and er, Nylon, but they don't mention the one-size that doesn't quite fit all.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Water resistant, rip-stop Nylon, durable bill insert, sublimated graphics, made in Columbia. Available in Fire, Gunmetal and True Blue.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
It's a nice light well constructed good looking cycle cap, but it fits only the petite of head.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
It's made by Big George, the light weight.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
The excruciatingly tight fit.
Did you enjoy using the product? No, it hurt.
Would you consider buying the product? No.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Not unless they had a pinhead.
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
Is there a mark for 'disappointed'?
Oh, and I gave it a relatively high mark for performance because if it did fit it would be great
