OAKLAND (CBS SF) — Oakland is looking to ban what some say is an easy way for thieves to cash in on stolen cell phones.
Cell phone robberies have nearly doubled in just four years in Oakland, from 1,600 in 2009 to nearly 3,400 in 2013.
City Councilmember Lynette Gibson McElhaney wants to ban cell phone kiosks, where users can trade in old cell phones for cash.
"They're an easy way for these criminals to make quick cash. These automated purchasing machines are extremely easy to access. They're located near public transit and in the malls, where no one's watching while you go up and try to sell your cell phone," Casey Farmer, a Policy Analyst with McElhaney's office said.

Happy Independence Day to my Nigerian readers! I thought it fitting to rave about my current obsession; Gidi Up. Gidi Up is an NdaniTV Nigerian-based TV/Web series chronicling the lives of four young Nigerians (Tokunbo, Eki, Obi and Yvonne) on their career, relationship and just general grind in Lagos.The title was snatched from Lagos' nickname, Las Gidi. And with the production quality rivalling scenic views of its American counterpart, Las Vegas, Gidi Up depicts an aesthetically beautiful Lagos that makes it so hard to look away. It is a far cry from its Nollywood counterparts, and much like An African City (post coming soon), it showcases a young Africa and the plight of those returning from diaspora or with a thirst for a better Africa, making the most of their circumstances to strive for a better tomorrow for Nigeria and themselves. Upon watching the Season 2 finale, I decided to draft a thematic review, in true BLEURGH fashion...so enjoy.
Crop Top (BIY) : ZARA | Ankara Skirt : Designers' Market Place (Abuja)
Career: Gidi Up focuses on the grind up the career ladder of young 20-somethings, so you see the characters deal with status frustration, entity envy and sacrificing their morals for the mullah. I'm going through some of those same issues myself, and I have observed my friends and family experience the same. but remember, "you do not need to compromise your faith to find success" DeVon Franklin. I am slowly learning, as are the characters of Gidi Up, that the crawl up the career ladder cannot be achieved overnight. If it is, it can equally be dismantled as quickly as its foundation wasn't solid to begin with. Patience, persistence and prayer are the 3 P's I am choosing to live by, and it is my hope that standing firmly rooted in that, I can withstand the rejection, temptation and distractions that are sure to come my way as a result.
Nike Art Gallery @ Lekki (Lagos)
Tinubu Statue @ Marina (Lagos)
The New Afrika Shrine @ Ikeja (Lagos)
Love: All Gidi Up characters have been through their fair share of romance wahala. From aristo (post coming soon) stunting to unplanned pregnancies and date rape. We may not have all been there, but we are sure to know someone that has. I love how realistic the plot lines are. There is a clear steer away from the comical dramatics of Nollywood, and a focus on core issues affecting millennials in Nigeria.
Coral Necklace : Tejiosho Market (Lagos) | Heels : Dorothy Perkins
Familial Support: This is handled excellently as we all know that friends are the family we choose, and 20's is the age where you become life-captain, selecting the team to make the cut for eternity. Family is no longer who you were born into, but those you surround yourself with everyday. Their support, advice and respect is what you live to love each & everyday. Lack thereof is damaging, as can be seen through the demise of friendships and relationships in Gidi Up. Not to mention the age-old question of whether guys and girls can be just friends? That's tackled too.
Gidi Up - Where every dream, has a price. BLEURGH!

You can't get any closer to the beach than this!
Gorgeous beach-front condo with only a heated pool between you and the ocean. Spacious, open & beautifully decorated, you will love taking breakfast (and dinner?) on the patio and watching the pelicans skim the waves. High ceilings and sliding glass doors lead to breathtaking views of the entire bay from the city to Los Arcos and beyond. Parking, 24-hour gated security, 2 elevators, bi-lingual reception staff and a bus stop outside.
See city lights, cruise ships, the Pirate ship, evening fireworks, awesome sunsets, plus whales (in season), dolphins, birds and manta rays from the privacy of your deck. Fully air-conditioned including ceiling fans on the terrace & both ceiling fans and A/C in every room. Master bedroom has Queen bed and 4-piece ensuite. Guest bedroom with King. Loads of cupboards. Fully equipped kitchen. Separate dining and living areas. Washer & dryer. WiFi. Satellite TV. Pets welcome. Smoking on the outside terrace only, please.
Close enough (10 minutes) to the city but far enough removed to enjoy the quiet and calm of this premier property - and there are no vendors on this beach!
I grew up in Vancouver and then moved to Toronto. After my marriage, we lived in Florida for a while but we always headed to Puerto Vallarta every chance we got so after my husband died, I decided to move there. When I found the summers too hot, I moved up to the mountains just south of Guadalajara but I kept the condo in Vallarta because it was just too beautiful to give up!
I wanted to enjoy the best Vallarta has to offer - white sand beaches, magnificent views of the Bay of Banderas, pelicans skimming the waves, colorful bougainvilla and gorgeous palm trees - without the crowds, but still be in easy reach of downtown with its nightlife and restaurants and recreation. This is it! A little piece of heaven.
No matter where I am in this condo, I can see and hear the ocean. The front is all glass sliding doors - both from the living area and the master bedroom - that lead out to the patio. At night I fall asleep to the sound of the surf. Mmmmmm or should I say Zzzzzzzzz
We had a really wonderful time thanks. The apartment, location, pool and beach were all wonderful, and the staff and other tenants very friendly. We hired a car and used your guide books to explore the area and found great beaches and boat trips. We are very keen to come back to that area of Mexico soon. We would be delighted to recommend your apartment to anyone. Many thanks
I have been to Puerto Vallarta and stayed in a variety of accommodations but this one was my all time favourite! The condo had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and although it was a little further out than I have stayed before, there is a bus stop directly across the street which takes you into town for a mere 7 pesos! I was in town almost every day and had no problems with the short (10 minute) bus ride back and forth. It is also located on the road to the Botanical Gardens so a wonderful afternoon was spent hopping on the bus and exploring the gardens. The balcony and pool area are the highlight. When I wasn't on the balcony enjoying the sound of the crashing waves, I was in the heated pool. I still miss falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and I promise I will be back very soon!
Location, surf, heated pool, quaint beach, amazing view and Stefanie's sweet place were everything as advertised. Only lost a half star for sheets and pillows needing serious attention.
Thanks Stef!
We booked Steffany's condo because it looked like it was the closest to a sandy beach at a very reasonable price. Boy, did this place deliver! When the sun shines directly on the waves, you can see straight to the sandy bottom. The see-through emerald waves brought tears to my eyes, it was that beautiful! There is a rocky outcrop by the beach that's a haven for tropical fish. We spent hours snorkeling and filming the fish that kept on about their business as if we weren't there. The rest of the beach is sandy, with a slight drop off that causes the waves to break close to shore only, so we could float and bob to our hearts content! This beach is semi-private, due to the distance from town and because the public entrances are a little far off. As for the condo itself, it's true to the photos, with beautiful natural stone tiling throughout. The water pressure was awesome, with never ending hot water, very important to wash off the salt and sand of a typical beach outing. We enjoyed the huge patio, drinking coffee there in the morning, or wine in the evening. It met all our needs and then some. Be warned, you should plan a thorough grocery shopping outing by taxi (about 200 pesos each way) as there are no stores within walking distance. You can take the bus for 8 pesos to the nearest Oxxo convenience store at Conchas Chinas for basic stuff, the orange and white bus line is the only one you need, and the stop is right in front of the condos. The building staff are very helpful and polite, quick to provide help with their cart to unload groceries and deliver to your door. They also keep the building safe, keeping gates locked, areas constantly monitored, with nothing that would disturb any of the guests. Doris was our first contact, and she was helpful, kind, polite and overall wonderful!
No doubt, this has been our favorite vacation stay, and that has been mostly due to this rental. Thank you, Steffany, for this opportunity to have truly lived the Puerto Vallarta experience in comfort, beauty and style!
We wanted for nothing. Condo is everything that is advertised. Beach is clean and nice for the morning walks. Ocean was a little on the rough side for a lot of our stay but no problem for experienced swimmer. Heated pool is just down the stairs. Bus stop outside the door, taxis also available outside the door. We had family stay with us and condo has more than ample room for two couples with infant. Patio is perfect for spending outside time and view from there second to none. Doris and staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurants and groceries are a 15 minute bus ride into old town Puerto Vallarta . Good place to kick back and relax.
This is a beautiful condo on an exquisite beach. It has everything including comfortable beds, great bathrooms (the master even has a tub), perfect living room for relaxing and entertaining, and of course the balcony for lounging and looking over the ocean. The beach has a wonderful shallow entry so even kids can wander in and out yet it is great for paddle boarding and kayaking and, perhaps best of all, there are no venders! Bus stop outside the door dropped us off at the top of Basilio Badillo, the main street in the Romantic Zone, where there are all kinds of stores and restaurants. I can't think of a better place to stay.
We rented for a year at Casa Steffany. The owner agreed to put in a new stove as the old one was rusty and dirty. The dishwasher didn't work and took two months to have it fixed. The back room leaks during raining season causing mold on the wall and in the second bedroom so our guests could not even stay there. We had to rent another condo when are guests visited. I called the owner to give a 30 day notice that we would be leaving at the end of March instead of the end of our year which was the end of May. She agreed that that was fine. I had paid 1st & last month and security deposit when we moved in. I mistakenly paid rent for March again and asked her to return my money for the last month. All of a sudden her story changed and she says she did not agree to us leaving early and refused to refund our money. The washing machine broke our last month there and she refused to fix it. We had to send our laundry out. We went to collect our security deposit after we moved out. She gave us a check we couldn't cash. And after going back 4 days to collect our security she finally left at the desk a lesser amount saying it was to cover supplies and for a broken phone that we didn't use, we had our own phone. Do not rent from this landlord. There is no reasoning with her, she just hangs up on you.
Perfectly located to give easy access to all that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. With both a taxi stand and a bus stop right outside your door you can be downtown enjoying the restaurants and nightlife within 10 minutes or, if you prefer, you can head south and enjoy horseback riding, the zoo or the amazing Botanical Gardens. All this plus one of the best beaches in the area right at your doorstep - and no vendors!
Rates are subject to change until reservation is confirmed. Maid service by separate arrangement.

Item description for Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry: From a Strategy of Influence to a Theology of Incarnation by Andrew Root...Overview
Root reviews the history of relational/incarnational youth ministry in American evangelicalism and recasts the practice as one of "place-sharing," not so much "earning the right to be heard" as honoring the human dignity of youth and locating God in their midst. (Ministry & Pastoral Resources)
Publishers Description
Relational youth ministry, also known as incarnational ministry, can feel like a vicious cycle of guilt: "I should be spending time with kids, but I just don't want to." The burden becomes heavy to bear because it is never over; adolescents always seem to need more relational bonds, and once one group graduates there is a new group of adolescents who need relational contact. It may be that the reason these relationships have become burdensome is that they have become something youth workers do, rather than something that youth workers enter into. InRevisiting Relational Youth Ministry, Andrew Root explores the origins of a dominant ministry model for evangelicals, showing how American culture has influenced our understanding of the incarnation. Drawing from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, whose work with German youth in troubled times shaped his own understanding of how Jesus intersects our relationships, Root recasts relational ministry as an opportunity not to influence the influencers but to stand with and for those in need. True relational youth ministry shaped by the incarnation is a commitment to enter into the suffering of all, to offer all those in high school or junior high the solidarity of the church.
Promise Angels is dedicated to bringing you great books at great prices. Whether you read for entertainment, to learn, or for literacy - you will find what you want at promiseangels.com!

Holly Hunter
Acting, for me, is the last vestige of doing something that I would like to feel really naive about. - Interview, November 1995.
[on the importance of rehearsal for Thirteen (2003)] : I mean, some movies I walk in, "Hi, nice to meet you", we get in bed and we do a love scene. And that does happen. That happened with me with Billy Crudup on Jesus' Son (1999). Actors talk about that a lot, but it's not uncommon. And we could not have done Thirteen (2003) that way. It would not have worked.
I always feel that I am the advocate for my character. More than anyone else on the set, including the director. I'm there to protect my character, in a way.
I often get asked to direct and I've never taken anyone up on it. It would be very interesting and I would learn so much. But it's a very confrontational job - I mean, directors are forced to confront themselves, and I don't think there's really a way to prepare for the pressure of directing. And I have seen quite a few good people crash and burn at the job. Nervous breakdowns, crying, screaming fits - people buckle, so it's always scared me. But it's intriguing.
It just seems that abortion rights never ceases to be a hot topic. It's a shame. It feels to me an anachronism. I mean, why are we still talking about this? Why is this not just a woman's right, period? I find it boring and very frustrating that it remains such a high profile subject.
Actors do movies because you want to make a connection, you want an audience to recognise themselves in what it is that you're depicting. The portrait, you want it to be a reflection of some aspect of humanity that people understand, that they see in their own lives. And so, when a movie makes a connection like that, there's simply nothing better. And in some ways, an Academy Award does validate that actual hook-up.
I was trying to get as much experience as I could. But very early on, I was always extremely particular. From the beginning, I was never desperate. I did other things for money; you know, the normal, boring stuff - I temped, I did waitressing. But I actually quit a play early on in my career - it was one of the first things that I ever got cast in, but I quit because there was something about it that I didn't like. I didn't think the director was the right guy to be directing it. So I've never felt that every situation was great for me and therefore I would have to stay. To me, being creative is a very fragile thing, the environment in which one can create is a very particular one, and somehow I've always felt the need to be very protective of that.
[on how her career as an actress began] : ....Joel and Ethan (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) had just finished the script of Raising Arizona (1987), and they asked me to read it and said that they'd written this part for me and would I be interested in doing it? So that was the beginning of my feature film career.
I'm just always looking for the best stuff. And also, there are things I want to do that I can't get - they want someone else. Often, in the movie business, they need somebody who will garner box office because they need to pay for the movie. So the people who are in movies that make a lot of money are the people who most often get cast in studio pictures. In my career, I've never been a box office name. Granted, a couple of my movies have made a lot of money but I'd do other movies which make very little money or they're not seen that much.
Actors are beggars and gypsies, that's just the way it is. And in many ways, I take what I can get. But I do search high and low for stuff that interests me.
Well, I think that an Academy Award has a certain kind of business shelf life. People have different speculations but definitely for a couple of years, your price is raised and there are more plentiful offers. Which only makes sense - it is a business. And the Academy Awards is a business, it enhances everything when you win one. But I think the most significant thing for me was, one, it was presented to me by Al Pacino, which I just loved. And two, that it was given to me for a role and an experience that I felt was a profound influence in my life. I know this because I was nominated for The Firm (1993) that same year and I don't feel the same way about The Firm (1993) that I do about The Piano (1993). So if I'd won for The Firm (1993) it would have been a whole different deal for me. I never actually saw The Firm (1993), so for me it would have been like... maces]
I get cold really quickly, but I don't care. I like weather. I never understand why people move someplace so that they can avoid weather.
I've never directed, but it must be humbling.
I really admire people who are extraordinarily tolerant and patient.
Mothers and daughters can stay very connected during teenage years. In the middle of your life, you can become very alone. Even though you're connected deeply to other family members, lovers, husbands, friends.
I think it's really odd, too, that the public is so privy to how much money the actors make and what movies cost. It seems to me to be beside the point. When I go to a movie I really don't want to think about the money. I want to see the story.

Brazil's Minerva Foods linked to police probe
The multi-species South American meat processor told this site it is cooperating with the country's federal police, which opened two separate investigations into alleged corruption inside the Ministry of Agriculture on 16 May.
According to Reuters news reports, Minerva is one of the companies targeted in the investigation. In a statement sent to GlobalMeatNews, a company representative said: "Regarding the operation of the Brazilian federal police named Lucas, Minerva Foods states it is collaborating with the authorities for the investigation involving [the] Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture.

The announcement of Brazil's two new police probes come with the country still reeling from the 'Weak Flesh' meat scandal that hit global headlines in March.
The two separate investigations both claim to be probing "corruption" inside Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAP).
Minerva's statement referred to the police investigation dubbed 'Operation Lucas'.
This is looking into an alleged scheme to move around R$3m ($968,000) in government bribes over six years between 2010 and 2016.
Investigators claim MAP staff received monthly bribes from agribusiness firms to either delay or cancel fines – a crime carrying a maximum 12-year prison sentence.
Police dubbed the investigation 'Operation Lucas' in reference to a passage in the Bible's Gospel of Luke, which reads: "Do not treat anyone badly or defraud".
About Minerva Foods
The meatpacker was founded in 1992 and now exports beef, pork and poultry to over 100 countries. It operates 17 slaughterhouses and deboning plants across Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay. It also claims to be able to slaughter over 17,000 head of cattle per day.

Ancient Aliens
Veronica Olmos
Per. 5
Mr. Givens
The course of human civilization has been influenced by extra-terrestrial visitors
Before watching the Ancient Aliens documentary I have wondered about if aliens existed or not. I always pondered on how ancient architecture and objects came to be, and tried to figure out if such objects and architecture is possible with or without the help of aliens.
The pieces of evidence I have chosen to scrutinize the theory of aliens visiting Earth is Megalithic Construction and Precision Work. They're both able to give an plausible explanations on the mysterious construction of ancient architecture.
Megalithic Construction
Examples of Megalithic Construction
Great Pyramid Of Giza
Stone heads of Easter Island
Puma Punku
In Ancient Aliens, it covers on the possibility of ancient megalithic constructions being built with the help of aliens. As they were built in barren areas which didn't contain rock or stone resources to build with and being able to move stones from an range of 5 to 350 tons. It states that even today with modern machinery it's nearly impossible to make such structures.
Great Pyramid
The Great Pyramid was built from sandstone and granite. In Ancient Aliens they give the theory of cutting the stones from lasers or diamond saws due to the stone being very difficult to cut. This claim is false, as they were able to cut the stone with their coppers saws and used sand to shape them. The information given from Ancient Aliens seems to not to be credible.
Precision Work
Precision Work is the cutting and shaping of ancient structures. In Ancient Aliens, it states how it isn't possible to be able to cut the stones used for structures with just simple tools. They give examples of the use power saws and lasers to be able to cut the stones in accurate angles and details.
Puma Punku
As the Ancient Alien series claimed the stone used in Puma Punku was granite, it is actually red sand stone. Which can be shaped and cut with not diamond tipped power saws, but with simple stone tools. The theory of levitating the stones is also false, as the stones have tell-tale drag marks and hoisting holes for ropes, all showing that they were not levitated as Ancient Aliens would have us believe. This shows that the information given from the Ancient Aliens series isn't credible.
From the evidence I have researched, I can conclude that extra-terrestrial beings didn't help the course of human civilization. Though, the purpose of the megalithic constructions and the whereabouts of the ancient people that constructed them still remains an mystery.

Clay Buchholz, Sox shut down Rays
Credit: AP
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Perhaps John Farrell merely was trying to diminish expectations. More likely, he really didn't know what to expect.
Regardless, this is what the Red Sox manager said Sunday in anticipation of Clay Buchholz' return to the mound tonight: "We really can't expect that he'd come back and pitch to the form that led him to a 1.70 ERA and the record that he has. We're hopeful that we get a guy that's close to what he was prior to the injury."
Turns out, Buchholz looks exactly the same.
Making his first start since June 8, Buchholz showed not only that his balky right shoulder finally is healthy but also that he still is capable of dominating. The All-Star right-hander allowed only three hits in five scoreless and walk-free innings against the freefalling Rays before yielding to a 74-pitch limit.
From there, the bullpen recorded the last 12 outs, including four from unhittable closer Koji Uehara, and despite facing reigning Cy Young Award winner David Price, the Red Sox eked out a 2-0 victory, lowering to 10 their magic number to clinch their first AL East title since 2007.
It was the sort of taut pitchers' duel that the Sox will need to win next month in the postseason. Surely, they will shed no tears if they don't see the Rays there, for there aren't any lefties tougher than Price.
While most eyes at Tropicana Field were trained on Buchholz, eager to see the explosiveness of his fastball and the sharpness of his changeup after a three-month layoff, Price didn't allow a baserunner through four innings. It was a reminder of the back-to-back starts at Fenway Park in late July, when he allowed a total of only two runs on seven hits in 161⁄3 innings and beat the Red Sox twice in a five-night span.
But scorching first baseman Mike Napoli opened the fifth with a drive that sent Desmond Jennings sprinting to the warning track in straightaway center field. The ball glanced off Jennings' glove, Napoli cruised into second base with a double, then scored easily when Jennings fielded Jonny Gomes' single up the middle and uncorked a low throw that sailed wide of the plate.
Realizing that runs were at a premium against Price, Farrell ordered Daniel Nava to drop a sacrifice bunt that moved Gomes to third. And Jarrod Saltalamacchia followed with a sacrifice fly to deep center field, scoring Gomes to give the Red Sox a two-run lead and match the number of runs they had scored against Price in the previous 201⁄3 innings.
That's all they would get, too. Price retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced and threw a career-high 127 pitches, a sign of the Rays' desperation. In an attempt to avoid a 12th loss in the last 16 games, manager Joe Maddon pushed Price further than ever before.
With their cushy division lead, the Red Sox don't have such concerns. Instead, the season's final few weeks are about getting tuned up for the playoffs, which is why Buchholz' outing was so encouraging.
The Red Sox' starting rotation is as deep and reliable as any in the league, but in improving to 10-0 and lowering his ERA to 1.61, Buchholz looked like the ace they nevertheless lack. The Rays sat talented rookie outfielder Wil Myers in order to load their lineup with left-handed hitters, and Buchholz still dialed up a 93-mph fastball to strike out lefty-swinging Luke Scott in the second inning while freezing slugging Evan Longoria with a 77-mph curveball in the fourth.
Rust? What rust?
"We're hopeful that he just goes out and keeps the game under control for the time he's on the mound," Farrell said before the game. "The next three weeks give us an opportunity to build him to 100 pitches or more. Realistically, just to maintain steady progress over the final three weeks is the ultimate goal."
If this was any indication, Buchholz is ahead of the curve.

Rising water costs and concern for groundwater contamination by NO3 and other agricultural chemicals are forcing growers in arid regions to improve irrigation and N fertilization efficiency. Applying N and water through a subsurface drip irrigation system in conjunction with in-season monitoring techniques for assessing crop water and N status has the potential to greatly improve water and N use efficiency. The objectives of this research were to: (i) investigate the interactive effects of water and N applied through a subsurface trickle irrigation system on watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thumb.) Matsum and Nakai var. lanatus] fruit yield and on the potential for leaching losses of NO3, and (ii) determine the optimum range of soil water tension for subsurface trickle-irrigated watermelon. Field experiments were conducted during 1990 and 1991 on a reclaimed Casa Grande soil (fine-loamy, mixed, hyperthermic Typic Natrargid) in southern Arizona. Levels of target soil water tensions and fertilizer N were arranged in a factorial design to determine fruit yield response surfaces. Tensiometers at 0.3- and 0.6-m depth were used to monitor soil water tension throughout the growing season. Marketable watermelon yield showed a pronounced positive water × N interaction in both years of the study. Predicted marketable yields were 90 Mg ha−1 when mean soil water tension was 6 kPa and applied N was between 200 and 270 kg ha−1 in 1990 and a predicted yield maximum of 102 Mg ha−1 at 7.2 kPa and 336 kg N ha−1 in 1991. Scheduling of irrigations using feedback from tensiometers proved very useful in providing optimum amounts of water while avoiding conditions that favor N loss through leaching or denitrification.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

O'Flaherty hoping to stride to Road Race title defence
World Championship steeplechaser Kerry O'Flaherty will be defending her Podium4Sport Seeley 10k Road Race title tomorrow (2.30pm at the Ormeau Embankment).
O'Flaherty has been named on the Irish team which will compete in the European Cross Country Championships in France on December 13.
At Ormeau, the 34-year-old Newcastle ace will be going for her sixth victory, with Anne Marie McGlynn her main rival.
Newry's Paddy Hamilton should win the men's race.
JACK Agnew has completed a stunning double at the Paralympic School Games in Brazil in what is his very first taste of international competition for GB & NI.
The 16-year-old from Belfast added the T54 1500m wheelchair title to the 400m crown he won on Wednesday.
Jack - who won an OCS Young Sportsperson Award last week and is backed by the Mary Peters Trust and Athletics NI - is one of eight British athletes to make the 12 hour flight to Natal, Brazil.
Jack is clearly a Paralympic star of the future.

URBAN retail outlets open their doors today to capitalise on a wave of holiday shoppers that led the city's hugely successful Boxing Day trading debut yesterday.
Up to 120,000 shoppers - some of whom lined up in the streets yesterday morning ready for the 11am opening - flocked to Rundle Mall, injecting what is conservatively estimated as $10 million into businesses on the strip.
The exact total will be known next month.
This prompted Business SA chief executive Nigel McBride to suggest there could be merit in earlier opening times for shops next year.
"I don't think I've seen the Mall this busy in years - I think we can safely say that it has worked," Mr McBride said. "People have voted with their feet - and I think the sales are only going to grow from here.
"Imagine next year if we had a Boxing Day cricket match (in Adelaide) and with the new bridge connecting (Adelaide Oval) to the city." Rundle Mall Management Authority chief executive Ian Darbyshire said yesterday's sales had been "a long time coming".
Joshua Mooerghen, 17, was among a group of teenagers that lined Rundle Mall from 8.45pm on Tuesday, ready to hunt down any clothing bargains yesterday.
"It's like our tradition now - we always want to be first in," Joshua said.
Harbour Town and Glenelg's Jetty Rd were the only suburban retail precincts allowed to trade on Boxing Day. Harbour Town management do not divulge visitor numbers but said its Boxing Day traffic was up at least 35 per cent on the previous year.
Other suburban retail outlets - such as Burnside Village and centres at West Lakes, Marion and Tea Tree Plaza - return to normal opening times today.
Houssam Abiad - an Adelaide City councillor and owner of restaurant H by Felici, at Burnside Village - said he decided to em-ploy about 50 per cent more staff in anticipation of the centre's first post-Christmas patronage.
"I'm projecting it's going to be a busy day in the restaurant and I think a lot of the staff are looking forward to it and everyone else is as well," Mr Abiad said. Meanwhile, Industrial Relations Minister Russell Wortley said Boxing Day trading would now become a fixture.
The 11am start time struck the right balance between needs of shoppers and workers wanting to spend time with their families, he said.

Very successful in getting this tall bearded iris to rebloom. Most reliable of any that I have. Today each plant is showing 2-3 stalks of blooms so by the end of the week (October 14) there should be some beautiful pictures to take. Drought and heat have been a big issue in the past couple of years here in Missouri but this iris never disappoints!

I've tried several different varieties of tall "reblooming" irises. This is the only one that actually reblooms for me.

Mine was loaded with several flowers last October & November.

A group of workers at BAE Systems are tuning up more than just fighter jets after forming their own workplace choir.
The group of 70 singers from the defence, aerospace and security firm's sites at Warton and Samlesbury in Lancashire have come together to raise their voices in the name of charity.
They will make their public debut with a performance at Preston North End's derby match with Fleetwood Town at Deepdale tomorrow.
It will also kick off the Royal British Legion's annual Poppy Appeal in Lancashire ahead of Remembrance Sunday next month, the RBL is the charity supported by the company's Warton and Samlesbury sites.
Choir master Sean Ruane, an opera singer who has performed the national anthem ahead of major sporting events including, said the choir had brought together a mix of employees.
He said: "I am sure they will wow the crowd at Deepdale on Saturday."

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Cowboys Stadium might not have to wait for another All-Star Game to host NBA basketball.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Tuesday night that he is considering the idea of playing an occasional home game in the $1.2 billion stadium.
"There would be a lot of strategic reasons, in addition to potentially economic reasons, to play a game over there," Cuban said before the Mavericks' road game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. "You could bring in twice as many fans, so economically it'd probably work out, and it'd be a unique attraction for people who wanted to come play for the Mavs."
Cuban, who said regular season or playoff games are possibilities for Cowboys Stadium, has been thinking about the idea since Sunday's All-Star Game there. That game was attended by 108,713 fans, shattering the previous record for a basketball game.
"It wasn't something even to consider until we saw how the thing came off Sunday," Cuban said. "We really didn't have any idea of what to expect."
Cuban has yet to discuss the idea with NBA commissioner David Stern or Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Jones, who is attending the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, was not available for comment Tuesday night.
The Mavs have an NBA-best 341-game sellout streak at the American Airlines Center, which has a capacity of about 19,200 for basketball games. Cuban said he doesn't believe playing the occasional game in a different venue would sacrifice homecourt advantage.
"You couldn't do it all the time for a lot of different reasons," Cuban said. "But it could [improve homecourt advantage], depending on how you did it. You'd have to make some modifications. You wouldn't necessarily have people all the way up top. You'd just do it kind of for the uniqueness of it every now and then."

Review of "Chemist Direct - Discounts & Voucher Codes"
"Great Shop"
I placed my first order with Chemist Direct last week and was pleasantly surprised to have it delivered within a few days! I'm always wary of companies I've not dealt with before; I'll be ordering a few more times before I recommend them 100%, just to make sure this wasn't a one-off! Hehe! The website was very easy to use, the prices are fantastic.I also liked the green bar on the address bar, shows it is a secure website.
Overall I'm very happy with the service; I saved a small fortune and in the current climate every penny counts!Will definitely be snapping up some Christmas gifts! I hope taht they have some special offers on over christmas so I can save some.
Good payment methods, I used google checkout but you can also use credit card and paypal.com.

Arquette: 'Cox and I are definitely not together now'
The pair split last summer (10) but appeared to be close recently when they were spotted together at a series of family and public events – and they spoke fondly of each other while promoting their film Scream 4.
However, Arquette insists there are no plans for the couple to play happy families again in the near future.
During an appearance on pal George Lopez's late night show in America on Monday (06Jun11), the actor said, "We're best friends and we're family but people change. We're still working on ourselves and our relationship… but we're definitely not together now.
"If we were to get back together, we'd make a statement – so don't believe any stupid tabloids."

The world's biggest reinsurance company, Munich Re, unveiled Monday a sharp first quarter loss owing to major disasters in the Asia Pacific region, but said it should still make a profit this year.
Munich Re suffered a net loss of 948 million euros ($1.37 billion) in the three months from January to the end of March, compared with a profit of 485 billion euros in the same period a year earlier, a statement said.
Analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast an even bigger loss of arund 1.1 billion euros.
The slump was widely anticipated following earthquake and weather-related catastrophes in Japan, Australia and New Zealand early this year.
For 2011 as a whole, Munich Re said it expected to turn a profit, without giving a detailed figure.
The March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan forced the German group to ditch its previous forecast for a net profit of 2.4 billion euros this year.

In 1964, Bob Dylan's voice echoed out from radio speakers with a proclamation that The times they are a-changin'. A voice for the generation of freedom fighters and beat poets, those words hold true even in this day and age.
What is it that defines a young adult or a teenager? years ago it was acne, loud music and bad attitudes. A struggle to find ones place in a world overcrowded with ways you SHOULD look or act. The idea that there's always a click. Be it the Goths or the hippies, or the D4's, spicers, hipsters, whatever it is. But in recent times whatever group you belong to is irrelevant, when you all share the same principles and common goals, which lately is finding enlightenment through self-destruction.
The common teenager now lives like they're between the pages of a Hunter S. Thompson novel, only 30 years too late and have not even a fraction of the heart. They beat and thud their feet down the road of the unknown, leaving behind a trail of cheap vodka that glistens in the setting sun on their teenage birthdays.
They drink more, party harder and fuck more than Charlie Sheen on an average weekend in Vegas (and he has a tab there). But the question is why? Teens have always looked for purpose through experimentation with alcohol and drugs, but what we see now is that the search for the purpose is being replaced by a three-day hangover after drinking in the field when come Friday the mean cycle will repeat itself.
It is now a vast and empty wasteland of a never-ending yet always moving party as it's all documented on a snapchat story and posted on Facebook for the world to judge them, to which the battle cry response will forever be…YOLO.
We're left with a sea of nagins, quiffs and fake ids hidden in tights. But who is anyone to judge? Every generation broke out at one point and shocked the older generations with their way of life and antics. Perhaps as generations progress, so does their tolerance for pills and cider. And maybe just maybe, they're seeing something that the rest of us aren't.
The world is a big and open place for those who seek to find it and along the way find themselves. But then again, some of the world's most brilliant literary and music work has been created by people who live that very lifestyle.
We either have the next wave of great authors and voices for their generation on our hands or the next enrollments at rehab.

Unanswered: Skipping columns on TransferSpreadsheet
How do I get a TransferSpreadsheet routine to skip columns when importing an Excel97 spreadsheet (in Access97). I can skip columns when using the Import wizard, but I want to be able to do this through VBA.
I thought of using a range, but the number of rows in the range will change from time to time. Basically, I need to be able skip all of columns A and B in the spreadsheet, and to start at C.

We would have gone into a carnivore stupor afterwards, but we had a tremendous thunderstorm that lasted for more than and hour and a half, very scary. Miss Kitty is still under the couch, I thought about joining her a couple of times.
The main storm has finally cleared, but we're getting another round, not quite as violent this time.

Sounds like a Louisiana version of mother's New England boiled dinner. Lets hear it for ribs.
The pork ribs look good. I'd have been under the couch with Miss Kitty I think - thunder doesn't bother me but lightning does. Two people were killed by lightning yesterday in Wales which hasn't done much to reassure me!ReplyDelete
That pork looks delicious!ReplyDelete
We had thunderstorms with giant hailstones here last week and many folk have huge damage to skylights, greenhouses and cars. A friend has to have a new roof on his car and our local Nursery lost eight hundred panes of glass in their greenhouses.
ohhh looks yummy. does it have dry rub on it?ReplyDelete
I have not eaten roast Pork for many a year.ReplyDelete
We used to have it with stewed apple, small roasted potatoes and runner beans.
I have now made my mouth water so shall go and eat some fresh black cherries.
Gosh, you didn't eat all that did you? We've had some thunderstorms here too but very short lived.ReplyDelete
Looks delicious!ReplyDelete
I hope your storms have ceased now.ReplyDelete
We've had some of those storms a bit north of you, too. And we had ribs Sunday night, too, and just got them off the grill when the downpours started up again. Your look delicious!ReplyDelete
Goodness the ribs look so good.ReplyDelete
Every once in a while I will order them for take out.
They are so good.
I don't like lots of sauce. Especially red sauce that everyone uses.
My mum made a oil, vinegar herb sauce that was so good.
I miss that.

Penguin E-Juice
Founded in California in August 2014, Penguin E-juice is another recent entrant in the thriving niche market for premium e-juices aimed at the connoisseur vaper who'll pay extra for high-quality juices. Little is known about the clever mixologists who launched this brand, but one thing we do know is that they like penguins. Each of their brands is named after a different species of penguin, with the exception of Mumbles. Mumbles, of course, is one of the most endearing characters from the smash-hit animation feature, Happy Feet, so he's a cartoon penguin. Like many boutique e-liquid makers, Penguin produces only a handful of flavours, five in total. The company's mission is clearly to concentrate on quality rather than quantity, and its five flavours are all bold and innovative. Adelie, for example, offers the fragrant flavour of vanilla churros with caramel and raspberry, while Mumble offers a sophisticated take on the smooth, fruity flavours of strawberries and cream. All five of the flavours offer a combination of subtle elegance and unashamed pleasure.

The vegetarian in the family: how to satisfy everyone
It's National Vegetarian Week. A recent survey of the vegetarian food market states that as many as 3.8 million people describe themselves as 'mainly vegetarian' – e.g., they eat fish – and 1.9m describe themselves as 'strictly vegetarian'. It's likely that someone in your family may announce one day that they are no longer eating meat.
In the modern household there will be many different tastes and diet choices. I'm a meat-eater but (oh, am I going to say it?) some of my best friends are vegetarian. I can imagine the day when my kids push away their plates of spaghetti bolognese, and I want to be able to continue the tradition of a family meal without double the cooking.
Wild rice salad - mastication enough for a meat-eater?
The majority of us should probably reduce our meat intake anyway, for cost, environmental and health reasons. A veggie in the house is a great reason to explore meat-free dishes. But how does a home cook cope with satisfying everyone?
Meet (not meat) in the middle
As a regular meat-eater, I know that I feel a little skittish and unsatisfied after a few days of veggie meals. This is probably less to do with the lack of abundant protein (we generally consume way more than we need), but I suspect it's to do with texture.
Meat-eaters miss both the chewiness and the savouriness that comes from a bit of meat. Chewing meat slows down the consumption of dinner (unless you're consuming some pappy fast food burger that is specifically designed to be consumed faster than the brain can register it being eaten).
Wild rice, pearl barley or bulgar wheat might seem a bit seventies, but I find they do make a dish significantly chewier. Nuts add texture to pasta dishes or salads with salty, creamy cheeses – you don't have to go so far as a making it into a loaf. It may sound ridiculously simple, but some chargrilled ciabatta, crisp and toasty, drizzled with fruity olive oil can add bite to some grilled vegetables or a summery tomato salad.
Halloumi - is it the vegetarian answer to bacon?
The combination of savouriness and sweetness in a piece of nicely cooked meat is also harder to recreate in vegetables. Not impossible, by any means.
Nigella Lawson in her wonderful book Feast describes halloumi as 'vegetarian bacon' – the salty savouriness and chewiness of this squeaky cheese is a great stand-in. Smoked foods – mozzarella, tofu, garlic – are also good when missing meaty flavours.
Miso paste, mushrooms and tomatoes add umami – the savoury flavour found in soy sauce or Marmite - use liberally, balanced with plenty of fresh herbs so that dishes aren't relentlessly brown.
There are recipes that are vegetarian and contain a range of textures, flavours and satisfying savouriness – as anyone who's cooked from Yotam Ottolenghi's books will know. But these recipes do need seeking out, and they are going to be more work than throwing a chop under the grill. Still, I find every recipe gets easier and quicker with practice and adding a few sure favourites to your repertoire is a good start. Here are some personal faves:
- Halloumi and roasted vegetable stack
- Chargrilled courgettes with mint and chilli
- Grilled miso aubergines
- Vegetable skewers with satay sauce
- Wild rice salad
Meat on the side
Some households will still require a meaty dinner regularly. Some vegetarian mothers I know accept the cooking of meat for the rest of the family (though they never feel completely confident about it). One friend keeps veggie portions in the freezer for these nights, or she hoovers up leftovers.
I think there's a trick to finding one meal that can suit everyone. Instead of starting to plan your meal around the meat, plan it around the vegetarian dish and treat the meat as a side dish.
Make a bunch of beef meatballs and keep them in the freezer, so that a veggie tomato sauce for pasta can get a beefy boost when needed. Also, lamb meatballs are great to throw into a chickpea and vegetable tagine over some couscous, or can be part of a tapas or mezze dinner. Vegetarian curries feel very natural and are incredibly versatile. A little tandoori chicken on the side, and everyone wins.
We naturally base dinners around leftovers. Pea soup can be topped (or not) with shreds of ham, a peanutty Asian noodle salad has the option of shredded roast chicken. Put the effort into big Yorkshire pudding (with vegetable oil in place of dripping) and vegetarian onion gravy, and a bit of leftover roast beef is there for those that need it. (Maybe veggie sausages, too.)
- Kefte meatballs for tagine
- Chickpea tagine
- Black-eye bean curry
- Quick vegetable curry
- Tandoori chicken
- Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy
On roast or casserole days, the amenable vegetarian probably still needs something tucked away to enjoy separately. But hopefully, these times can be infrequent enough to ensure that the family meal is a shared one.
Do you cater for a mixed household? What are your tips for integrating different diets in the family dinner?

We have two vegetarians, one meat avoider and three omnivores in our household, I often cook pasta with a tomato based sauce which I can split into two pans, one with meat and one without. Wraps are a good option as you can cook the peppers and onions in with the spices and can then add chicken which can be cooked separately either plain or with extra spice depending upon taste. Unadventurous it may be but on roast days my vegetarians like a nice quorn fillet with their dinner. Quorn is a good alternative on any day and there is no reason why meat eaters shouldn't enjoy it too, although you can't pretend it is meat it is very tasty.

Quorn mince makes a wonderful vegetarian ragu for lasagne and bolognaise -also for shepherds pie. Dried porcine mushrooms, soaked in hot water then both added to the sauce gives a lovely meaty flavour.

Why didn't the BBC get a vegetarian to write a piece about National Vegetarian Week rather than someone who thinks that "halloumi is the vegetarian answer to bacon"? What makes you think vegetarians need a substitute for bacon? The whole blog post seems to denigrate and belittle vegetarianism with snippy little comments and barely concealed digs at veggies.
I find your comment "I know that I feel a little skittish and unsatisfied after a few days of veggie meals" astonishing. It probably just means you're not very good at cooking vegetarian food…

I think the article is about catering for a vegetarian in a meat/fish eating household. My reading is that is not the author of the article, but Nigella Lawson (from her book Feast), who thinks that "halloumi is the vegetarian answer to bacon", and is being quoted.
I had a problem with family meals for a few years until my daughters gave up vegetarianism and became omnivores. It can be quite hard to please everyone in the family! I sometimes felt that I was running a caff rather than cooking family meals

@ Mrs Vee, my partner that I've been with for 12 years is vegetarian and has been since we met. I am the family cook and I like my meat. I think I'm very good at cooking vegetarian meals, yet I also "know that I feel a little skittish and unsatisfied after a few days of veggie meals". It doesn't mean a person is not good at cooking vegetarian meals, it means they like meat. Get over yourself.
To everyone calling people who eat mean and veg omnivores, you seem to misunderstand that word. We are all omnivores, as we have the capability to eat both meat and veg. A personal decision not to eat meat and instead to focus only on a vegetarian diet does not make you a herbivore, herbivores do not have the digestive ability to digest meat.
I found this article interesting and helpful as a meat eater who cooks for a veggie. I think it was enhanced by the fact that it was written by a meat eater.
Comment number 6.At 13:25 23rd May 2012, Jane wrote:
As a "mainly vegetarian" I cook mainly vegetarian meals for the family, with occasional meat dishes on the side as described above. Very occasionally we will have a barbeque or a roast dinner and then I will usually have something ready made, like vegetarian suasages for myself.
The super ingredient for me is red lentils which I use as an alternative to mince. Just add dried lentils instead of mince and add extra stock. A teaspoon of marmite in the stock is great if you want a more meaty flavour for something like a cottage pie or sun dried tomate paste for things like bolognaise.
My problem with family meals is fitting in all the different likes and dislikes more than vegie or non vegie meals!

I am astounded at the comment that veggies feel unsatisfied by lack of chewing! I am not a vegetarian but do enjoy veggie food for a change and find it less heavy at lunchtime. My hubby has always finished his sandwich well before I have finished chewing my way through raw veg and salad, chickpeas etc etc. We like to go to Bostons when out and he hoovers up his egg & bacon roll while I spend ages on one of their yummy salads. We both like Morrocan style tagines with veg and pulses. Bags of chewing involved in veggie food I reckon!!

Some great tips on how to cook for different people's food preferences! There are only two in our house, and whilst neither of us is vegetarian it can still be a chore to find foods that we both enjoy every day.
I also like the idea of a vegetable curry with separate meat on the side - a good idea if I fancy something a bit lighter, as my husband is a real carnivore!

Second Last Mexican City - Oaxaca!
Oaxaca Travel Blog› entry 20 of 21 › view all entries
The overnight bus ride from San Cristobal to Oaxaca was bumpy, with the driver stopping frequently throughout the night. We arrived before lunch and got a cab to the hostel. Once checked in we walked in to the old town and wondered around - ending up on a lunch mission to find this restaurant called "100% Natural". It turned out to be the same restaurant we'd eaten at in Playa del Carmen. The food was - in the words of Alan "epic", with me and Maree opting for enchiladas - so much food and so damn tasty.
On our wonderings we passed an x-ray clinic and headed back there after a rest to check out my foot, I needed to know once and for all if I had done more damage to it than just a bad sprain. The doctor at the clinic was nice enough, but spoke no english so Al had to translate for me.
We had heard that Oaxaca was good for their food and their markets, so went on a market hunting expedition the following day. The first Artisan market we found was a bit of a let down, it wasn't very big and had mostly cloths, rugs and tacky neon knickknacks. We were however determined to find a better market so kept on wondering, checking out little shops along the way - such as the mescal shop... a spirit similar to tequila. Al bought a small bottle of mescal, and I got a small bottle of one of their mini cream liquors.
We then came across a massive market with crafts everywhere, spices, fish for fish tanks, piñatas etc. We ate these mini custard filled pastries which were divine. From the market we moved on to the main square for lunch, Al and Maree had Aztec soup and me a yummy sandwich. The problem with eating on the square is that you get harassed by beggars, sellers and offending musical instruments.
Around the square you could see loads of shoe shiners, guys selling balloons and many colourful red poinsettia plants.

How To Find Cheap Flights And Build An Itinerary
Mixandmatch'ing totally different airlines to your destination and again once more will increase your chances of discovering the cheapest airfare. Knowing when precisely it happens is probably one of the best strategy to purchase most cost-effective airline tickets. If you're new to Hawaii or simply want some extra assist determining where to go and what to do on your Hawaii trip, we've strategies. It is suggested to ebook Jetlite flight and buy low cost Jetlite flights tickets instantly with few mouse clicks.
In this case, you'd have to pay the distinction between what you could have paid and what fare is out there on the time of the ticket reissue. This largely depends upon your flexibility and the way decided you're to take a Hawaii vacation. If you do not like what is on the market at the time of booking, you possibly can strive changing the seats at test-in.
TIP In my world, there is no such thing as unchangeable ticket or when the airline says modifications should not allowed. Singapore Airlines has just lately announced a joint alliance with Air New Zealand companies between New Zealand and Singapore will increase the most cost effective airline flights potential of the code to 30 p.c The withdrawal of Jetsam alliance will imply a De facto monopoly on the highway.
If the ticket is issued by a journey company, the airline may not be capable to make changes and will ask to contact a journey agency. Travel brokers enable you to a terrific deal in looking for economical airline ticket booking. Don't overlook out on this as quickly as in a life span alternative to discover ways to conserve a fortune on all of your flights.
There may be sporadic Hawaii offers for spring however, akin to from Seattle, the bay space and perhaps San Diego. This is as a result of airlines and travel websites require that if multiple airline ticket is sold on the similar transaction; those tickets should have the same value offered that details are the same. African visits are incomplete without safari tours, Johannesburg is a five stars airline connecting Dubai to London from North America will arrive at Heathrow or Gatwick airports.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (August 29, 2005) – The Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA) Environmental Fund raised $400,000 during the 16th annual Waterman's Weekend environmental fundraiser, August 26-27, 2005, at The St. Regis Resort & Spa in Dana Point, Calif. The proceeds raised will be distributed in the form of grants to 10 environmental organizations dedicated to protecting and preserving the ocean environment through programs designed to reduce urban runoff pollution, protect fabled surf breaks, conserve sensitive coastal areas and to educate young people about ocean pollution prevention and conservation.
SIMA is proud to have met the ambitious goal set by the SIMA Environmental Fund Board of Directors of raising $400,000. In the past 16 years, $3 million has been raised at Waterman's Weekend to benefit environmental organizations dedicated to saving our oceans and waves. From the humble beginnings of Waterman's Weekend in 1989, the funds raised have grown as the surf industry itself has thrived; in 2001 Waterman's hit a milestone by raising approximately $200,000, marking a notable increase from any previous year. The net proceeds have climbed steadily every year since. The $400,000 raised at this year's event sets a new record for the most funds raised in the history of Waterman's Weekend.
"The surf industry has a genuine and relentless commitment to protecting the oceans waves that are crucial to our businesses,"said Paul Naud

Is there so much traffic between HEL and India? I assume that it is a lot of transfer pax?
|New Finnair Routemap
|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 11):
Finnair route map looks quite nice with the new additions (gc.kls2.com):
|Quoting Kevin777 (Reply 10):
"The direct way to Asia is via HEL" also fades a bit when you're going to BOM; HEL is more of detour now.
|Quoting Manni (Reply 12):
ICN would fit in nicely there. Weren't there rumours a while back that AY might start flying to ICN?
|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 14):
I hope we'll get ICN in 2008 with the 4th and 5th A343.
|Quoting OHLHD (Reply 17):
A bit off-topic but does anyone know if there is a HEL-ENF service during summer? I cannot find one.

Lufthansa's flights to Mumbai and Delhi operate at an annual load factor of over 85%
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 23):
Well, I was really surprised to see these news. But isn't this on quite a short notice?
[Edited 2007-01-22 19:11:04]
|Quoting Jaysit (Reply 24):
Maybe Finnair thinks it can pick up German and Scandinavian passengers headed to India. Currently, Lufthansa's flights to Mumbai and Delhi operate at an annual load factor of over 85% (about 80% for the entire Indian operation) with the airline's premium cabins being extremely popular. And also remember that Goa as a destination has become rather popular with Finnish tourists. I guess their strategy is Nokia corporate + Northern Europe + Goa.
|Quoting Andaman (Reply 26):
AY has often made quick moves
|Quoting Jimyvr (Reply 28):
Probably codeshare with QANTAS on BKK-SIN
|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 29):
Does QF actually fly that?!
|Quoting Andaman (Reply 26):
BOM sounds a bit risky, lot of competition there,
|Quoting Jimyvr (Reply 28):

|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 29):
Give me an example!
|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 29):
Give me an example!
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 31):
That option sounds logical, but to stir the pot a bit, maybe AY could enter into an extensive code-share agreement with EK, start DXB (wit EK metal too, of course Wink ) and offer code-shares from there to places like SIN, KUL and CGK.
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 32):
I'll say the suspension of MHQ flights
|Quoting Andaman (Reply 33):
Well, they were the first to fly non stop to Tokyo from Western-Europe, were among the first ones to start business in China etc.
|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 34):
And why would EK want to do that...?
|Quoting Andaman (Reply 35):
Of course it takes time to prepare business like this, but AY has often been a pioneer. My friend working in travel business in Sweden just said Finnair has often been more quick than SAS to react, and that would be one big reason AY is doing well in Asia at the moment, SAS less so.
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 36):
I see what you mean, my point was that usually new long-haul routes have been announced about a year before launch, this was just five months!
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 36):
Get codeshares to ARN, OSL, GOT, LED, and TLL?
|Quoting Jfr (Reply 40):
Anybody know if axing the BKK turns is in any way related to the airport's other troubles?
|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 39):
Those would require TWO code-share flights - wouldn't it be much better for EK to code-share from one of there European destinations on another carrier?
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 31):
start DXB (with EK metal too, of course )
|Quoting Jfr (Reply 40):
Anybody know if axing the BKK turns is in any way related to the airport's other troubles?
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 42):
As an aviation enthusiast I'd suggest a combined service, maybe 2 weekly for AY, 2 weekly for EK.
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 23):
I have good views to the runway 4R(&L) approach paths from my kitchen window
|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 45):
Sounds awesome! And what time did you say the dinner is served tomorrow?
Mumbai will join Finnair's international network with five direct flights from Helsinki from June, while the thrice-a-week frequency from Delhi will become a daily service from mid-May. Plans are to have a daily service from Mumbai by the year-end. Finnair has interline agreements with several Indian carriers including Jet Airways, Air Sahara and Indian.
|Quoting EFHK (Reply 46):
Of course there are restrictions with cloud layers and fog to see anything, they aren't that low yet here (I live in Pitäjänmäki). But when it's a good weather, it's nice to sit down and plane-spot, you can see reasonably well 4R arrivals without binoculars, but for 4L they're recommended. Many times I've been just passing by and noticed - Oh, what's THAT?! I saw for example OH-LQA for the first time that way... But I'll tell you, northeasterly winds are underrated!
|Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 47):
Is that in any way possible without decreasing BKK heavily compared to this winter with twice daily flights?

I can rarely see some arriving aircraft from my north-facing city center apartment. But too far to actually spot anything.
