Air France has 204 destinations around the world. They fly to 36 domestic destinations and 168 international ones in 93 different countries. This is compared to some of the top airlines such as United that serves 375 destinations or Delta that serves 334 destinations. This shows that Air France is smaller than the top airlines, but not by a lot. Air France is still able to serve a large portion of the world with their flights. They have a large number of international destinations available in many different countries and would be able to meet the needs of a number of different passengers for all their travel destination needs.
Air France does fairly well when their daily flights are compared to some of the top airlines according to Flightstats.com. They received the following statistics when looking at their most active flights in the last month:
• 84% on time
• 7% late
• 2% very late
• 4% excessively late
Looking at that 84% on time, when compared to United with their 82%, Air France comes out better. Looking at more of the top airlines, Air France is very similar to them in terms of their daily flights being on time and consistent. Some of the top flights for Air France include:
• Geneva to Paris (93% on time 4.7 stars)
• Paris to Bordeaux (92% on time 4.7 stars)
• Toulouse to Paris (92% on time 4.6 stars)
Their lowest rated frequent flight of Paris to Barcelona, measured in at 2.7 stars with only a 71% on time rate. There were no flights to or from the United States in Air France's most active flights so it is hard to get a feel for how consistent they are with timings in the U.S. However, based on the flights that were shown as their most active, Air France does very well with their daily flights, they also had 0% of canceled and diverted flights.
Air France offers a number of in-flight services that are competitive with the top airlines. They offer a variety of entertainment options from top movies and TV shows to music and games. They also have entertainment especially for kids on the flight. Air France also allows passengers to choose the type of seat they would like on their flight, they can choose from the following:
• Seat Plus (extra leg room)
• Duo seat in a row of 2 (choose window or aisle and have only one neighbor)
• Duo seat on the A380 upper deck (smaller cabin and just one neighbor)
• Set at the front of the cabin (be one of the first to exit the aircraft)
They also offer a number of options when it comes to meals on Air France flights. On long-haul flights a choice from the menu of the day is offered at no extra charge. Passengers can also choose from the A La Carte Menu which offers four different meal choices. Meals from the A La Carte Menu can also be purchased in advance when buying the ticket and up to 24 hours before the flight. There is also the option for passengers to order a special meal for a particular diet when booking or at least 48 hours before departure.
While Air France does offer many of the services of other top airlines, there was no mention of any Wi-Fi connection or outlets available on the flights. There was also no option to use personal devices on the flights or any extra content available such as information about the destination. Some of the newer features of the top airlines were not available with Air France.
Air France was founded October 7, 1933. They have been operating for the past 82 years. This is fairly competitive to some of the top airlines such as United Airlines that have been in operation for 89 years and Delta that has been in operation for 91 years. Air France began serving their customers around the same time as the other top airlines in the business. Air France has eight commitments that they are striving to provide their passengers with. They are:
1. We keep you informed
2. We respond through social media 7 days a week
3. We offer you alternative solutions
4. We ease your procedures
5. We strive to provide you the best assistance on board
6. We assist you in case of delayed baggage
7. We offer extra special care for our loyal customers
8. We appreciate your feedback
Air France also has an app available for iPhones, Androids, and Windows phones that allow passengers to purchase their tickets and manage their reservations on their mobile device. It is even available for the Apple Watch.
The Bad
- Ticket prices
- Baggage
- Boarding
- Check-in
When comparing ticket prices for Air France and other top U.S. airlines, Air France came in at a little more expensive than many other airline options. There were many options from less known airlines that were much cheaper or much more expensive than Air France, but looking at some of the larger airlines, such as Delta, United, or American Airlines, Air France prices were very close to, but slightly higher than. Depending on the exact flight and dates, Air France would most likely be competitively priced compared to many other large airlines going to or from France. They would not, however, be a for sure money saver. Many of the airlines specific to the country will save quite a bit of money when using their planes versus a different airline, however with Air France, the prices would be about the same, maybe slightly higher to fly with Air France.
Air France allows one hand baggage item and one accessory as well as one checked baggage item as long as they fit in the size requirements. They are:
• Hand Baggage:
o Length: 21 in.
o Width: 13 in.
o Height: 9 in.
o Weight: 26 lbs.
• Checked Baggage:
o Length + Width + Height: 62 in.
o Weight: 50 lbs.
Any additional baggage costs an extra fee per bag. The fee is less expensive when added online and increases in price when added at the airport though the fee varies depending on each specific flight destination.
This baggage allowance is similar to many other top airlines. They allow one checked bag and one carry on with certain weight and size restrictions. Extra bags come at a fee though it is hard to see if the fee is compatible with other airlines because it varies so much based on the destination.
When it comes to boarding an Air France flight, it can be trickier than other top airlines. This is because they do not assign seats when the tickets are purchased. Instead, seats are chosen at the check-in. Check-in can be done online, 30 hours prior to the flight and the seat can be chosen then which would help make the boarding process smoother for a passenger, however, choosing a seat at the airport check-in could make boarding more stressful as passengers may not be able to get the seat they want or may have a harder time finding an available seat. Air France also has specific deadlines including a check-in deadline, a boarding deadline, and the departure time. Check-in deadlines vary depending on the flight and airport that is being used however, Air France suggests arriving at least 2 hours before the departure time to comfortably get through security. The boarding deadline is 15 minutes before departure time between Paris-Orly and metropolitan France destinations and 20 minutes before the departure time for all other flights.
To check-in to an Air France flight, it can be done online as mentioned before or at the airport. If done online, all the passenger needs to do at the airport is check in the baggage at the baggage drop off counter and proceed to boarding. At the airport, check-in can be completed at an interactive kiosk or at the check-in counter.
Flying with Air France gives customers a large amount of destinations to choose from. This makes their checked baggage policy and pricing more specific than some other airline companies. The checked baggage policy with Air France is dependent on where a customer is flying to and where their journey originated. The most specific information that passengers might want to know prior to travel are listed here.
• Checked baggage allowance and prices
• Excessive baggage fees
• Carry-on restrictions
When flying to most United States destinations using Air France, the baggage policy is the same. However, when customers want to venture outside of the United States the policy and procedures change and can be easily viewed online through the Air France website. For flights traveling within the States though most customers are allowed to bring one bag to be checked free of charge. This bag must be a maximum of 50 pounds and 62 inches tall. Additional baggage that needs to be checked in varies depending on where a customer decides to check in the luggage. Online check-ins for additional baggage will cost $60, however, at the airport will cost $75. The cost increases with each extra bag that needs to be checked in and customers are allowed to bring a total of 10 bags.
With the limits for each customer flying with Air France at 10 bags, the airline does not charge excessive baggage fees. Bags that are above the standard 50 pound, 62 inch restrictions will simply not be permitted onto any flights. Although there are no excessive baggage fees because customers are allowed 10 bags each, the cost for checking in 10 bags is extremely expensive. Again, the cost does vary depending on where a customer checks in the luggage but for an online check-in with 9 bags to be checked and 1 bag free of charge, the cost would be around 1,300 dollars. An airport check-in with this many bags would be even more costly at around $1,600. Along with many other airline companies, Air France allows customers to bring one bag and one personal item as part of their carry-on luggage. Carry-on bags cannot exceed 26 pounds and 21 inches. Personal items or accessories can be anything from a purse, laptop, briefcase, or backpack.
Below is a list of some of the most important things customers might want to know prior to flying with Air France.
• Ticket cancelation and refund policy
• Tarmac delay or flight cancelation
• Baggage damage or loss
• Customer service assistance
For ticket refunds or questions about canceling trip plans through Air France, the best option for customers flying from the United State is to contact the Air France service center. Some tickets can be refundable depending on the type of ticket and the travel class, but some are strictly non-refundable. It is important to note however that all service fees charged at the time of purchase through Air France will not be refundable no matter the ticket type. If part or all of a ticket is unused and non-refundable, Air France states that customers might still be eligible for a tax refund on the unused airfare. However, because Air France is headquartered in France and flies internationally, many ticket types and restrictions are subject to the customer's point of origin. This is one of the main reasons that Air France suggests for more detailed or specific information customers contact their ticket point of sale first.
Flights that are canceled through Air France are eligible for both assistance and compensations from the Air France staff. Assistance will be provided in finding different flight routes to reach a customer's destination, a meal or snack, hotel accommodations, and vehicle transportation. Compensation can be received in the form of a refund for the part or parts of a journey that were canceled. However, if a flight through Air France is canceled because of extraordinary circumstance compensations will be given to customers. These circumstances can include but are not limited to bad weather conditions, political instability, strike, or security concerns. Delayed flights with Air France receive the same assistance and compensation. Flights delayed 2 hours will receive assistance through meal or snack, hotel, transportation, and phone card. If a delay is more than 5 hours, customers are eligible for reimbursement for the part or parts of their journey that will be affected by the lengthy delay.
Baggage that is missing upon arrival at a customer's destination must be reported within the first 72 hours from when the flight landed. If a bag can then not be located within 21 days of this report being filed, a compensation claim will be made for the missing luggage. Air France, however, has a cap on the compensation amount that can be given. Customers can receive up to $1,300 US dollars for any missing luggage claims. Damaged baggage must be reported within 7 days from a flights arrival. Proper documentation and proof of damage will then be needed to complete any claim on luggage that arrives damaged.
The customer service team is not available 24/7 for any customers who have questions or concerns during their travel. In fact, they are only available by phone during US Eastern time of 8am to 11:59pm. Although they do have a number of ways to contact them either by email, mail, phone or online support. If customers are needing special assistance while flying with Air France, the staff asks that all requests be made prior to travel so they can be best prepared to make all passengers experience aboard Air France comfortable.
The rewards program through Air France is called Flying Blue. This is a free rewards program that allows members to earn points and move up through different levels of the program. These levels include Ivory, then Silver, Gold and finally Platinum. All levels offer different benefits to customers both through Air France travel and through partnering airlines and retail companies products. Reward points can also be used for travel benefits with Air France such as upgrades during flights, more seating options, baggage options, and food or beverage choices aboard Air France flights. It should be noted that some Flying Blue reward levels are subject to blackout dates and limited route or flight availability. However, the more a member spends in the Flying Blue rewards program, the more points they obtain and levels they achieve, which also increases their benefits to be used with their reward points.

–Moonstone Lucid jacket: 800-fill; sewn-thru, no hood; 10.5 oz;
–OR Trance sweater: sewn-thru; 700-fill; no hood; 15.4 oz.Feb 13, 2006 at 12:32 am #1350482

@pjLocale: LazyBoy in my Den - miss the forest
Own a size medium Montbell Alpine Down jacket. Purchased it just to have a nice looking warm jacket for non-active winter pursuits: birding – day and night. Features, fit, and finish are exceptional. This jacket is so very warm. Winter has been warm this year, but some wee hours in December had sub +5 deg F mornings. Jacket kept me very warm with no activity. Forget about using it for anything that gets the blood pumping – it would cause a great deal of sweating, IMHO.
My only complaint about the jacket (and I knew this going in) is that it lacks a hood. Any garment with this much insulation should really be a parka with a hood, or a shorter length hooded-jacket. I don't ski, so maybe that is an application for a very well-insulted hoodless jacket. It might have an application for Alpine (not Nordic) sking – though it might be too warm for some downhill ski areas.
The only other thing to mention is that you'll look like a Pillsbury Pop'n Fresh Doughboy or a Stay-Puff Marshmellow man wearing this thing. It is very "poo-fy". Figure that it has almost as much down as in a WM Highlite short sleeping bag (7oz vs 6oz for the jacket), but it's all in just a jacket's dimensions. The down really lofts in this thing. And while only 6oz of down, for example, the sleeves' outer diameter rivals my 25yr old Eddie Bauer Kara Koram parka (supposedly good to -40deg F, double-layer offset box quilt – used infrequently over the years, so down is still pretty clean and lofts well, almost like new).Feb 13, 2006 at 12:18 pm #1350511

@mitchellkeilLocale: Deep in the OC
I have owned the Montbell UL Inner Jacket for a while now and have used it down to about 25 degrees and been fairly warm with an Icebreaker wool 190 long sleeve shirt under it and my dragonfly windshirt on top. Recently, I also purchased at a steep discount the matching Montbell UL vest with a placket front with snaps about 10 inches down the front. By combining these two items at a total weight of 12.72 oz (size Large), I have created a very warm dual layer parka that has kept me warm sitting around a high Sierra Camp at about 20 degrees. I have not had it lower but could easily imagine it keeping me warm into the teens. Throw a Raindrop top over that and I know it would keep me warm in any three season conditions. This system also provides sleeping and warmth flexiblity. Anyone else tried the vest/jacket combination?Feb 13, 2006 at 11:41 pm #1350546
Thomas McDonald, MDMember
@mc1donaldLocale: SF Bay Area
I too have the Montbell UL Inner Jacket but with the Thermawrap vest. Under my shell, etc, fine at rest into the mid-20's for me. And if colder, I've added my Driclime jacket as a middle layer. Probably not as warm as the down/down combo!
If I could have a "do over" now ($'s aside), I might lean toward a light down vest + the new UL Thermawrap jacket…

I also have a Montbell Alpine Down. It uses box construction so no cold spots, and as mentioned by PJ, the loft is pretty ridiculous. Would certainly benefit from a hood, and at 15 oz. isn't the lightest around. I'll admit to coveting the Nunatek, but my wallet is one area in which I don't mind carrying a little extra weight. I get Montbell's Japanese prices here in Hong Kong and at $120 there's not much to complain about. God knows there are enough tailors around this place so a snap on hood may just be $20 and a bit of effort away. I compared it to the Golite and it was significantly loftier and only an ounce heavier. Even at $170 back in the States, I'm not sure there's anything in the review much better. Not $155 better anyway. The box construction does give the jacket a flat surface that doesn't help the marshmallow look any. I bought one for my rather petite girlfriend as well, and she was a tad underwhelmed by its fashion potential. Her reaction: "Well, I can wear it in America, I guess. Everyone's fat there."Dec 16, 2006 at 6:40 am #1371208

@pyeyoLocale: pacific northwest
My work took me up to the Methow River, a mere 30 miles from the Twisp area where I inadvertly found myself wandering around looking for Nunatek,[they are not listed in the local phonebook]. A quick trip to the local library and a moment with their computer yielded phone number and address, which caused a driveby forcing my cellphone to dial which led to a physical googling of products whilst chatting up Tom which forced my checkbook to be released from lockdown. A flurry of measurements occured and the wheels of industry were set in motion for a Skaha Plus. There is nothing like a handcrafted product from beautiful intelligent people. When a cold snap hit soon after Tom called telling me he would personally deliver it to me via succesion of bakeries south. I assured him I would never ever wear this for work and didn't have a trip planned so he mailed it to me instead. Of course I haven't taking it off since well except to convince my spouse it was lingerie, big puffy beautiful lingerie… but that is another story I shan't tell here.

Poor Lindsey Vonn. Not only is the two-time Olympic medalist skier still on the rehab trail, trying to come back from that horrific knee injury sustained in February in time for the 2014 Sochi Games, but it seems that her personal life isn't quite going as planned, either. Of course, Vonn has made news in the tabloids for months, first with speculation she was dating Tiger Woods, before the pair confirmed their relationship in March. Though there have been no reports (yet, anyway) of trouble between the celebrity-athlete couple, that doesn't necessarily mean Vonn is comfortable with every aspect of the relationship. In fact, Vonn says she feels overlooked, even marginalized at times, according to a recent interview with The New York Times. "I can be normal by myself; no one notices me," Vonn said. "But wherever he's around, we're living in a fishbowl. I didn't quite know what I was getting myself into. It's weird. But it's just something I have to deal with. He has his job, and I have mine. I just have to get used to it." However, getting used to the high-profile nature of their pairing doesn't always come that easily. "Some people seem to forget that I'm not just Tiger's girlfriend. I'm actually a successful athlete. I'm Lindsey. I have my own career and my own life." However, Vonn reports that other parts of their relationship are fairly normal. The two do share their personal and professional interests, and come home to talk about work. But that doesn't mean Vonn has any input in Woods' ongoing swing rebuild, or Woods on Vonn's technique on the slopes. "He knows how to ski," Vonn said. "And I don't give him a lot of feedback about his golf game. We talk golf after his golf rounds, but mostly I listen. We really are normal in that way. Lots of people go home and talk to their wife or husband about their job. That's what we do." So, it seems that it's true that they say. Celebrities really are just as boring as the rest of us.

There are 219 wildfires burning across the province with 67 new fires reported yesterday.
Most are lightning caused.
Chief Fire Information Officer Kevin Skrepnek says weather played a big part in increased fire activity.
"Big challenges yesterday were certainly the wind. Erratic winds, big gusty winds. And that was certainly a big driver of activity in posing significant challenges on new fires and some of our existing incidents as well."
Chris Duffy with Emergency Management BC says three regions are in a state of emergency.
The Kootenay Boundary Regional District and the two fires in Oliver — Wilsons Mountain and Testalinden — have put the District of Okanagan-Similkameen in the same position.
"Within those, there are 7 evacuation orders and approximately 630 homes and 8 cabins in evacuation order."
Duffy says more than 800 people have been registered at reception centres.
There are currently 1400 crews on the front lines across the province.

Classic Jamestown large 4 bedroom Bungalow.3 queen bedrooms, 1 with twin beds. Each room with its own theme, very large kitchen with pantry, large living room, front living room with television area and game area. Full bath upstairs, bath with large spacious shower downstairs, laundry room off kitchen with large washer and dryer. Back deck with sitting area and large side yard. Off street parking, as well as on street parking. Newly renovated . The house has the feel of an old fashioned adirondack camp, with all the amenities you will need. Furnished with quality linens, lots of towels, beach towels, and
a very well equipped kitchen.
Please note. We have a one week minimum from June thru September
I am a native Jamestowner, and was raised in this house. I have been in the hospitality business for 30 years, and have enjoyed making this an amazing house to stay in. Also a French trained Chef, who has worked as a Private Chef and also in several local restaurants. I also owned a B&B Inn in Newport for ten years, so I have tried not to overlook anything. I also live in Jamestown, a few minutes away. If you need a Special Souffle Dish, I can deliver very easily!
Michael Dupre purchased this bungalow in 2014
This was my family home, and I feel it is a great house, large yard, and one of the nicest streets in the village. It is very close to the library, the bakeries, the waterfront, beaches, Churches, Restaurants, and the nightlife. You can walk everywhere quite easily. There is a large yard for children to play in, a deck in the back for outside dining and grilling, beach towels, chairs, ice chests, just about anything you would need.
We had a wonderful stay at the Jamestown Cottage! The house is absolutely adorable; it was welcoming, cozy and had everything we could possibly need available to us. The owner was so helpful and accommodating. We couldn't have been happier - our only regret is that we didn't have more time to stay and enjoy this beautiful little house!
This house is fantastic! The 4 spacious bedrooms made it very comfortable for everyone. The house was spotless and clean upon arrival. Everything you need from new washer and dryer, updated kitchen and even beach towels if needed. The yard is huge with great landscaping and the house is a easy 5 minute walk to the restaurants & bars and 10min walk to the waterfront! Michael the owner is so friendly, informative about the local area and accommodating. I will certainly recommend this property to all my family and friends looking for a rental in the Newport RI area.
We stayed in Michael's house for a week, but it was so comfortable, we wished we had booked it for longer. This house had everything we needed for an extended family of 5. The kitchen contained every item necessary for preparing meals, and the dining table was large enough for our family members who lived nearby to join us. There is a full bathroom downstairs along with an enormous laundry room equipped with a fantastic washer and dryer. Not only is there a living room, the front porch has been enclosed and is a great play area for children. The 4 bedrooms upstairs are spacious and comfortable, the air flow is great, we did not need to use the window air conditioners, just the fans Michael provides. The house has been renovated so the bathrooms are roomy and convenient. And towels, the huge linen closet upstairs is filled with an amazing amount of them. The house was spotlessly clean, the bed linens and sheets were fragrant, we felt pampered.The location of the house is great, it is in the middle of what appears to be 3 lots, so there is room for children to run and explore. The neighborhood is quiet and is a short walk from downtown Jamestown. We also were short drives away from beaches and parks in the area. Parking is great at the house, both a long driveway and on street parking. Michael was a super host, booking his house was easy, he responded quickly to emails and texts and even met us at the house once when we inadvertently locked ourselves out. It is easy to see that this home has been well loved and cherished. We appreciate the opportunity to live in it for a week.
Love this house. It was perfect for our children and grandchildren. Very roomy, walking distance to town and restaurants, great deck for the kids to play, nice comfortable enclosed sun porch for TV watching and family time. I loved having numerous quality towels and quality sheets. So many places we've stayed gave us 2 thin towels apiece. Very nice laundry room and love the kitchen with numerous cookware and utensils. Michael is wonderful to deal with and really made this comfy home a pure delight.
Great house in great location. Short walk to shops, restaurants and waterfront. Mike was a gentleman to deal with. Will stay again for sure!
Michael, the owner did a great job restoring the house. It is comfortable for a family. If you want to stay in Jamestown, I would recommend this house. We went to Newport and Narraganset beaches, so we had to get in the car, but that was a minor inconvenience. Coming home to this house was nice, because it is a quiet area, and away from the hustle. We also walked to downtown for food and ice cream, which is a nice feature.
Jamestown Village shops and restaurants, waterfront, Newport 10 minutes, Historic Wickford 10 minutes, providence 35 minutes away.

Originally posted on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 5/22/13
A Pro Football Talk report surfaced a few hours ago that the Browns will release Thaddeus Lewis. That report was confirmed by several members of the local media. Lewis started one game for the Browns last week, starting against the Steelers in the final week of the season. He wasn't awful, completing 22 of 32 passes for 204 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Lewis has been the third string QB for the last two seasons. The Browns have now gotten rid of two-thirds of their quarterback trio from last season. The recent addition of Brian Hoyer made Lewis expendable in the eyes of the coaching staff. Hoyer, Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell are the quarterbacks currently on the roster. [Related: Browns sign sixth round pick Jamoris Slaughter]

Custom GA Integrations for Higher Education
The basic Google Analytic configuration certainly provides a lot of valuable data and insights, but the real power comes from customizing it to meet your specific needs.
Custom Dimensions can be very powerful for Higher Ed. They can allow for audience segmentation (prospective students, prospective - undergrad, prospective - graduate, alumni, current students, etc.). This allows colleges to also categorize prospects based on their level of engagement with the website (prospect, qualified prospect, lead).
Dual Tracking (Rollups): Most every institution struggles with providing unique reports for the various departments AND at the university level. Creating "Rollups" helps solve this issue, which we achieve using dual tracking tactics.
Adwords: By integrating Adwords into Google Analytics, schools can build very targeted remarketing audiences. Given the typical high traffic volume for colleges and universities, it's easier to meet the required 500 user threshold with a good mix of audiences – making remarketing a strong dynamic digital source in Higher Ed, with the ability to apply geographic filters as well.
Event Tracking: A good example for Higher Ed is learning what prospective students do before submitting an application. What are common precursors for completing an admissions application? Identify appropriate non-page activities, configure & install event tracking snippets, then setup reports that cross-reference events with conversions. Event Tracking is great way to identify activities that are not specifically correlated to a page view.
SITE SEARCH: Integrate your site search tool of choice into Google Analytics in order to utilize report filters. This will enable you to assess searches on various key phrases and topics to help drive usability improvements. For Higher Ed, we see a lot of searches for "calendars". Get a better understanding of what types of calendars that students, parents and alumni are searching for, then introduce navigation changes to reduce the steps (clicks) to reach them.
GAFUSION: This proprietary Beacon product allows colleges and universities to feed admissions and enrollment data into GA as conversions and eCommerce transactions. Hence, you can leverage the power of Google Analytics to associate enrollment dollars with website activity in a clear way for your institution's stakeholders.

Demo Days
A young woman struggles to keep her great-grandfather's house from the wrecking ball.
Peddy Larmer engaged the e-brake after pulling the key from her old Volvo's ignition. As a matter of habit, she grabbed the hardhat from the passenger's seat before stepping out of the vehicle and taking stock of the yard which she knew was once immaculate. This had been her great-grandparents' place, and when Peddy was a little girl, she had spent so many days running through the lush green backyard with her brother, Kiev, chasing butterflies.
Those days were now just distant memories, locked safely away from her adult eyes, which currently looked upon the ramshackle and overgrown property with a grimace of disdain. She perched the hardhat atop her head and stuffed her hands into her pockets as she miserably approached the old abandoned house she barely recognized.
The high weeds muffled most of the noise, but as she wended her way through them toward the back door the unmistakable din of men at work with their power tools assaulted her ears.
She nearly ran into Josh McIntle as she was climbing the rickety old stairs and he was exiting through the back door. He was young and pleasant enough, sort of the unofficial foreman while the real foreman was away in some casino somewhere, blowing his pension.
"Oh, hi!" he stopped dead on the top step and dribbled a little coffee from his mug as he did so.
Peddy looked up at him and blushed a little, "Sorry."
"Listen, I'm glad you're here. We found something cool this morning."
"Oh yeah? Like a metric ton of gold bullion buried inside the cellar walls? Enough to save old Grampa Reggie's place?"
Josh had a series of rolled blueprints wedged under his arm. These he passed off to one of his subordinates, a Wally or Wayne-Something, as they backtracked into the building and bade Peddy to follow.
"I'm afraid not," he conceded with a nod of his head, "you would certainly need a lot of bullion to make up for the back taxes owed on this property, from what I'm told, Miss Larmer."
"Peddy's fine."
Josh grinned, "I know. You always tell me that, but I guess I'm a little more formal for my own good. Would you like some coffee?"
She envisioned a pouch of that powdered stuff getting added to a large mug of boiling water at five O'clock in the morning and then unceremoniously dumped into a dinged-up Thermos, only to wait in the back of Josh's equally dinged-up pick-up truck until it congealed into a tepid sludge. She hid her revulsion as she smiled sweetly and said, "No thank you."
He nodded and led her through the skeletal remains of the kitchen. Adele Larmer had died when Peddy was quite young, but Peddy still held on to occasional snatches of memory, such as holding on to Great Gramma's apron strings as she "helped" bake cookies. Peddy couldn't have been much older than four then, because Great Gramma Larmer was gone before Peddy's fifth birthday. And even though little remained of the tiny kitchen, Peddy remembered all the smells and sights from her knee-high perspective. It still seemed as bright and alive as her great grandparents had been.
"Are you all right, Miss Larmer?"
"Hmm? Yes, why?"
Josh said nothing but touched the corner of his eye.
She did the same and pulled away with a wet fingertip. Oh damn! Had she really been crying? She smiled at Josh and nodded. She said, simply, "Memories," and he understood without another comment.

Chapter Six Part TwoMature
"Why here? This is level three, pretty low on the hierarchy," Lillian replied.
"Exactly, no one would think anything of the work here," I said. She paused to consider my words before returning to her original pace. I took that as her agreeing with my theory. She led me down another street and I came face to face to the wall. She continued walking but I stopped and headed towards the wall, reaching out to touch it. The once see-through and smooth material was covered by dirt and dust. I squinted at the gaps and again saw the ruins from before.
"Do you think the wall is the reason why the sun didn't effect you?" Lillian asked, inturrupting my thoughts.
"The sun doesn't effect me, a newly-turned maybe. Though I admit I haven't felt too warm or uncomfortable under the sun. So it's possible it has some kind of protective effect. Why do you ask?"
"Was just curious," she said with a shrug. Her auburn curls lifting and falling with her shoulders. Without thinking I reached over and fixed a stray strand behind her ear.
"What are you doing?" she asked and I froze. What was I doing?
"We should hurry," I said, turning away and starting to walk. She soon took over and continued to lead the way. I couldn't help but notice the slight red covering her cheeks. Must be all the drama and walking of the day.
"We're here," Lillian said, leading me up cobblestone steps and into a building made of faded brick. Inside was a dingy lobby, empty of life. She walked through corridors as if she knew the area.
"I used to come to work with mum all the time when I was little. Then school started and I stopped being able to see her," Lillian explained, seeing my curious expression.
"Ah," I said, trying to ignore the strong smell of damp that seemed to rule these hallways. On second thoughts maybe it wasn't here-
"Here's the lab mum works in," Lillian said, punching a few numbered buttons on a pade by a big metal door. Inside my worrying assumption was proved wrong.
"Nothing like the corridors, right? Don't ask me to explain how every device works, I can't remember too well myself. Mums computer is over her, I might be able to figure out her password so we can see her notes," Lillian said, walking towards a thin black thing. She pressed the bottom corner and it lit up. I jumped back and eyed it suspiciously.
"It's just a computer. This, and any other computer is linked to the system. It's how we can use our ID cards. Usually though, people on the lower levels don't use them, except to claim benefits and such," she explained as she entered in a string of letters onto a pad to the side of the black rectangle. They were denied.
"I guessed she would've changed her password since I was a kid," she muttered. She tapped a something below the bar the letters had appeared and a word appeared.
"The Secret," Lillian said the words and scrunched up her face, thinking hard.
"Maybe she knew she was a witch too?" I suggested. She contemplated my words and then entered "witch" in, denied.
"I have two more tries..." she muttered. I couldn't think of another suggestion and said as much. Lillian let out a groan and turned to scan the instruments. She reached over and brushed a finger over each. Noted the ones that had gathered dusts and the one that had been used lots. She returned to the strange computer and entered in a new word. The computer made a small beep noise and the screen changed.
"Why blood?" I asked.
"The machine that analyses the make-up of blood and other living cells was used a lot. And with the demons and witches, I figured it might be that," Lillian explained. I glanced at the thing she'd pointed out and felt somewhat helpless, I really knew nothing about this world and its devices. She scanned the files and pictures, reading and understanding strange symbols I couldn't get.
"Wait...the chemical calculations and all these keynotes...my mum was..." she trailed off, eyes wide.
"What was she doing?" I pushed. She turned her gaze to me and shook her head.
"She was trying to create an artificial substance that would have the same features found commonly in blood. Why would the witches want fake blood?" she asked. My lips formed a grim line as the pieces started to fall together.
"So they can wake up the demons and use them as a controlling force," I said bitterly.


text: On The Edge How strong do you have to be to survive? Ages: Ash & Misty: 13 Tracy & Chante: 14 Jessie & James: 15 It was a long walk to the next town. It was called Mist City. Of course Misty was excited and so was her new boyfriend Ash. A newcomer to the group Chante was also ecstatic. Tracy just hoped to get through it soon. Chante was peculiarly thin. She had a few scars on her and the group was worried when she fainted one day. She said it was an illness that she was working on and told them not to worry. As the gang entered the city three figures came up to them. The tallest and noticeably older boy of the group walked up to Misty and politely extended his hand. As Misty held hers out he grabbed it and kissed it. That was it. Ash and Misty were very annoyed. Ash walked up to him and said "Hey, what are you doing kissing MY girlfriend?" "Sorry, you need not worry I just thought that she might be free" replied the boy. "By the way I'm Steven. These are my two friends Matt and Rick," he said pointing to the boys behind him. Steven walked up to Tracy and asked if 'the girl' (meaning Chante) was his. "No" said Tracy. He was feeling upset about being mistaken for HER (of all people) boyfriend. Steven then walked up and introduced himself to her. Chante blushed but replied to all of his questions coolly. Together everyone walked into a little ice cream shop in the middle of town. Misty and Ash shared a vanilla/chocolate swirl. Tracy had strawberry. Steven and Chante shared a little bit of chocolate mint chip. After ice cream the newly expanded group went to the pokemon center. They all reserved rooms. Ash and Misty shared one with TWO beds (don't get any idea you guys). They all had a good night's sleep. The next day Ash was training at the gym with Tracy. Misty was at the salon. Steven took Chante out to the movies and then to lunch. As Ash was practicing his Rocket Punch on the punching bag Team Rocket showed up. In all too familiar voices they said "Prepare for trouble" "And make that double" "To protect the world from devastation" "To unite all peoples within our nation" "To denounce to evils of truth and love" "To extend our reach to the stars above" "Jessie" "James" "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light" "Surrender now or prepare to fight" "Meowth, that's right" "We're here to take Pikachu for you," rhymed James. "Yeah" says Meowth. "We're kinda busy could you come back later," asked Ash hopefully. "Of course not brat" chimes Jessie in that do-you-think-so voice of hers. "Well then let's fight," says Ash. "Pigeotto go" he cried. "Carrrrbok" screeched to pokemon who had been let out. "Weezing" said the one next to it. "Pigeotto take care of them" commanded Ash. Then Pigeotto blew them away. "Looks like team Rocket's blasting off again," yelled the airborne people (ding). "Pigeotto return" said Ash. The rest of the day was pretty peaceful. Later that night Misty was in Chante's room talking to her about her day and listening to Chante's date. Chante told all of the detail as Misty daydreamed while braiding Chante's hair. Misty had always loved romantic things. Chante said she was going to take a shower and go to bed so Misty left her alone. When she got to her room she noticed that she had left her necklace from Ash in Chante's room and when she went back she heard crying from the bathroom and no water running. She listened carefully on the door to what her friend was upset about. "Ow" she heard Chante say through the door. She peeked under the door to see what was going on. She saw Chante's arm with blood on it. Both wrists were slit. She saw her throw up her previous dinner. She cringed at the thought and felt sorry for her at the same time. She knocked on the door and heard a lot of rustling. Then it stopped. Chante's voice came out as if she felt like she was about to be married. She sounded happy and pleased like she always did. She said "Yes Misty I'm a little busy. Could you hang on one minute?" Misty remembered her scars. She opened the door and saw her friend on the floor with a spilt bottle of pills. She sat down next to her and they talked until it was about 10:00. Ash was getting worried about Misty. He left for Chante's room. There he saw the girls with blood on the bathroom floor. Misty explained what was wrong with Chante. Ash and Misty helped Chante to her bed and waited until she fell asleep to go back to the room they shared. They talked to each other for a while and then drifted into a nice sleep. The group had to help her. They watched over her and nursed her back to health. Through it all Steven was there watching over her. After she felt better and didn't have the urge to hurt herself to stay lean she decided to stay with Steven and his friends. They would miss her very much but they knew it would be best for her and as the group left the town of Mist City they thought of all the friends they had met along the way to the pokemon league. They walked off into the sunset hoping that they would be together as friends for a long time. The End

According to a Nikkei Business report (English), another iPhone carrier exclusive country has fallen. Softbank (in blue, above) in Japan has had a monopoly on the iPhone for the past three years in the world's third largest economy. However, with the release of next iPhone, KDDI/au will carry the device. Both carriers still trail behind the leader NTT, as you can see in the un-translated image above.
According to the report, the iPhone will hit HDDI/au shops in November, a little later than the US expects to see them. If I'm not mistaken, KDDI operates a CDMA network, which is thought to be built into the upcoming worldphone iPhones.
This could still mean big market share gains for Apple in the country that Android hit by storm over the past two years.
KDDI's shares were up 2.1% at Y642,000, while Softbank's shares dropped 7.3% to Y2,413.

The seas calmed as we sailed closer to the mainland and the Louis Olympia docked sometime in the early hours of the morning. We woke to the hustle and bustle of Piraeus Port and the madness the entails disembarking from a cruise. Anne had us all under control though - she is an old hand at this. We all parted company again heading for hotels, airports and points far and wide. My taxi awaited and Kiwi and I leapt aboard ready for the next part of ...

... the fresh sea bass, making the fish taste absolutely wonderful. (0.750gr for €55.30)
We had Seasonal Wild greens (almirikia) and Asparagus as a side salad that was superb. (€7.00) I never had almirikia before and I even asked to see what the raw plant looked like. It was so fresh when brought on our table as if it was picked right from the field that moment.
Our delectable banquet finished with some dessert ...

After this museum i went to the war museum and had a look at the history of war in Greece, this had lots of weapons and artifacts and told the story from Athens and Sparta to the ww2 period.

The Acropolis area is somewhat protected by the Plaka (a neighborhood that is traditional old Athens - filled with Tavernas and shops- a real tourist attraction and utterly charming) We dropped our bags in our room and hustled to the Acropolis Museum. We had about six hours to see all that we could before the historical sites closed at 8 pm. The ...

We'd been to the island of Lesvos back in the summer of 2010 and had had a marvelous time, but that had been our only foray into the many wonders of Greece up to this point. ...
