4 Superfoods Which Aren't That Super
Quinoa, wheatgrass, raw milk and goji berries – nutritional wonders or clever marketing ploys?
Do they boost your immune system and help you shed pounds, or are you being fooled into wasting pounds?
Over the past two decades, we've been bombarded with the 'benefits' of goji berries, wheatgrass, acai, raw milk, quinoa… the list goes on. And before you've had time to get your head around why they're so super, there's another new superfood making the headlines. Once discovered, consumers pack these foods into their smoothies, porridge and protein shakes. Earlier this year, it was buffaloberries. A buffalo in a berry? That sounds a bit too intimidating.
It's easy to understand the appeal: don't we all long for a magic bullet for detoxification, weight loss and overall rejuvenation? With people worrying about the dietary value of "modern" food, they're seeking out superfoods to fill the nutritional gap.
I want my berries from the distant fields of Tanzania
Some people have become infatuated with eating berries from far-off farmlands or the diet of prehistoric civilisations. Who's to say Aztecs or Native Indians might not have favoured a comforting cheese and onion pasty over another bowl of goji berries and wheatgrass? They simply ate whatever was available, and hunted for meat when food supplies were low.
Here's a list of 4 superfoods that aren't as super as you've been led to believe:
Wheatgrass: a valuable source of vitamins and minerals, containing all the 8 amino acids. Wheatgrass contains anti-inflammatory compounds and improves blood circulation.
Superfood? No. Someone's been spreading a myth that one shot of wheatgrass is the equivalent to eating 1 kg of nutritional vegetables. If you live by that motto and drink wheatgrass as a vegetable replacement, you're setting yourself up for diarrhoea, headache, nausea and allergic reactions. Some attribute the headaches and nauseated feelings to mind and body detoxification, but more likely this is down to intolerance or allergy.
Quinoa: Without a question, one of the most popular and marketed superfoods at the moment. It's packed full of minerals, antioxidants and B vitamins.
Superfood? No: Despite its protein value, quinoa is heavy on lectins and saponins, two compounds that irritate the gut and are usually found in grains, seeds and plants. Also, there are concerns about cross-contamination, so it might not be so gluten-free after all.
Goji berries: jam-packed with antioxidants and promises of younger looking skin.
Superfood? No. Like quinoa, they are full of saponins. These berries are allergenic, belonging to the deadly nightshade family. The Chinese primarily use them for tonics and tinctures as opposed to food. Goji berries have also been implicated as a trigger for arthritis.
Raw milk: It's been claimed that high quality raw milk has multiple health benefits, from fighting cancer and helping allergies, to preventing asthma and treating flu symptoms.
Superfood? Again, No. It contains dangerous bacteria, such as e-coli, salmonella and listeria, all of which can lead to serious illnesses. Symptoms include vomiting, stomach pains, diarrhoea and headache. Too agonizing, I say.
It can become frustrating when marketers take advantage of the superfood label because there are a lot of 'berry' good ones out there… including, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, green tea, coconut oil and almonds to name a few. Even with these, it's advisable to eat them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

The company I worked for had sent me overseas to work for a three year period. All my expenses were paid as well as the storage fees at home for my furniture and belongings. The one main problem was that I worked six days a week for those three years with only the one day a week off.
I was finally brought back home and since no longer had a place to live, the boss had reserved a suite for me at a nearby hotel. I met with the company president for a briefing, and after our meeting, I informed him that I needed some time off.
"Mark, you have made me proud. You sacrificed a lot to work the hours you did. You normally get two weeks a year vacation, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"If you want to take all six weeks now, I'll approve it, plus I'm giving you an extra four weeks, paid of course, to go with it. How much would you like to take now? It's up to you."
"I wasn't expecting the extra time, Sir, so if I might, I'd like to take eight weeks now and save two weeks for later."
"Consider it done. You've earned it. Tomorrow is Friday so if you would, come in tomorrow and do your written report for me then we will start your eight weeks on Monday."
I returned to the hotel and tried to adjust to the time change. Friday, I returned to the office and wrote my report.
When I handed it to the boss, he told me to use the suite for the weekend before I headed out on vacation.
I decided my vacation would be a casual one with no destination planned. I'd just drive and stop when I saw something of interest.
I went to a local motor home lot and rented a nice motor home to drive. It wasn't that big, but it was all I needed, with a full bath, kitchen, sitting area and bed room.
I drove it around town on Saturday and Sunday, getting used to it's size and how it handled.
Monday morning I headed out on my much needed vacation. Before long, I was cruising down the highway, feeling free and relaxed. I had eight weeks to do just what I wanted.
Not completely back on local time, I began to get tired and stopped at a travel park. I hooked up the water, electricity and sewage, before preparing a bite to eat and hitting the bed. it was only four in the afternoon.
About eleven, I awoke fully rested and decided to continue my trip while there was little traffic on the road. I secured everything and pulled back onto the highway.
Somewhere around two or so Tuesday morning, I needed to use the restroom so I pulled into a small rest area. Not wanting to fill the on board toilet too quickly, I decided to use the public restroom. I locked up the motor home and headed inside, not expecting what I found.
Because of the walking shoes I was wearing, my steps were silent and when I entered the restroom and looked around.
There were two urinals and two toilets without doors. I walked to the first toilet and unexpectedly saw one muscular man in his thirties standing there with his pants down to his knees. Sitting on the toilet was another male, also muscular and in his thirties wearing a leather vest, sucking the other guys cock.
"Oh! Sorry," I managed to say as both men jumped in shock.
I quickly retreated to one of the urinals and took my piss before quickly leaving, surprised that the men continued what they were doing.
I returned to the camper, trying to digest what I had seen. In college, two of my friends were gay and I kind of knew what they did with other guys but this was the first time i had actually seen two guys doing anything together.
As I sat there, I saw the man that had been getting sucked walk out and go to a big eighteen wheeler parked in the lot. He climbed in and as he pulled out the guy in the leather vest and no shirt came out and walked over to a big Harley motorcycle and climbed on and started it up. As he pulled passed me he smiled and waved. It totally caught me off guard that he was the type to suck another guys cock.
I eventually started up and pulled back onto the highway, what I had seen replaying in my head.
'What a way to start a vacation,' I thought.
I drove until daybreak when I decided to stop for breakfast. I saw a truck stop ahead and pulled off and parked. Inside the restaurant, I took a table by a window away from the other diners.
After ordering, I sipped my coffee and as I did, a man walked up and asked, "May I join you?"
Looking up, I saw the trucker from the rest area. Stunned, I managed to say, "Uh, sure."
He sat down and in a low voice he said, "Sorry we shocked you earlier. You should have stayed and let him do you. He was good."
"Sir, I've never done anything like that before. I just wasn't expecting what I saw."
"I understand. When I started driving over the road ten years ago I had never done anything either. But, being on the road all the time, you have needs and I soon gave in to those needs. I refuse to screw the whores at the truck stops, so getting blown is the best alternative."
"I understand," I said, "but I'm not going to be on the road all the time. I'm on a much deserved vacation."
We talked about my plans and he seemed like a very nice guy. He was married and the only other thing he said that was sexual was that letting a guy service him didn't seem like he was cheating on his wife. we wished each other a safe trip and he left. When I asked the waitress fr my check she said it had been paid for by the man I was talking to.
Back on the road, I began to wonder if during these eight weeks would I get so desperate as to let a guy do me. What he said about the guy 'being good' made me wonder what it would be like.
'Mark, what's wrong with you?'I thought. 'You're not into guys.' Never before had I had these thoughts.
As I returned to the road, I began to think back to my times overseas when I'd go to the gym on my day off. When I'd see guys nude in the showers, I remembered that i looked at their cocks, but it was not in lust. It was just to compare their size to mine. Nothing else.
For some unknown reason, all day I thought about what the driver had said about a man's needs and what it would feel like to let a guy blow me. I knew that I'd never found a woman that I could truthfully say made it feel that good. None had ever taken me 'all the way'.
That night when I stopped at another truck stop for dinner, I first went to the rest room to take a much needed dump.
Once in the stall and seated, I began to read the large quantity on graffiti. Many offered blow jobs with a phone number listed with the offer. I couldn't believe that guys were that forward. Then I noticed another offer for a blow job in a different way. It said that if any truckers wanted a blow job to call Sam on CB channel 3.
I sat in disbelief at all the offers, not only for blow jobs but guys offering their ass for truckers to fuck.
Another man entered and went into the stall next to me and after a few minutes, I could faintly hear him pounding his cock. I knew he was jerking and for some reason my own cock began to stiffen. Ignoring it, I quickly left, wondering why it was happening.
I ate dinner then found a place to camp for the night. As I lay in bed, I remembered the graffiti and hearing the other guy and my cock was soon hard. I couldn't ignore it. Grasping it, I soon brought myself to a massive climax.
The next day, I returned to the road, and mid morning, I stopped at a roadside fruit stand and bought some fruit and veggies for the trip. Later, I saw a sign for a wild animal park and stopped and toured it.
I had found that the food at the truck stops was quite good and reasonably priced and stopped for dinner. I ate then went to the restroom.
After choosing a stall and going in, I dropped my pants and sat down. It was then that I noticed the hole in the partition between my stall and the one next to me. It was just over two inches in diameter and waist high. It suddenly dawned on me what it was for and for some reason my heart began to beat faster.
I sat and a minute or so later another man entered the restroom and went into the stall next to me. Turning my head slightly to the left, i could see the man drop his jeans and sit down. After sitting down he shoved his jeans down over his work boots and then leaned back.
From my position, by just turning my head I could see straight to his crotch. He reached for his cock and began stroking it, soon getting it rock hard. Mine was soon hard also and as I watched him slowly stroke his, I unconsciously began to stroke mine.
As I did, I could tell he was leaning closer to the hole in order to watch me. Suddenly, he put his open mouth to the hole and whispered, "Let me suck it."
I didn't know what to do. Part of me wanted to let him yet another part wanted to get up and get out of there.
"Maybe later," I finally managed to say.
"If you decide you want it sucked come on back. I'll be here a while."
I left, shaking from head to toes. Returning to the restaurant, I could barely hold my cup of coffee. I sat and watched the restroom door. I saw another man enter and a few minutes later he came out, his semi hard cock showing in his jeans and pointed straight up. A few more entered and left and I soon saw another guy come out in the same way as the first. I knew that they had let the guy blow them.
I paid for my coffee and made my decision. My curiosity had the best of me. I returned to the restroom and went into the stall. After sitting down I heard, "You decide to get that beautiful cock sucked?"
I had never considered my cock beautiful, but I said, "Yea. This is my first time."
"Hot damn! A virgin. Let me have it, please."
I stood and nervously slipped my cock through the hole. As I did I asked, "Did you do the others that came in here?"
"Two of them but theirs weren't as nice as yours." Then I suddenly felt his hot wet mouth engulf my cock and start sucking me. The feel was like nothing I had ever felt before. I moaned softly as he sucked my cock and massaged it with his tongue. It wasn't long before my climaxed approached and fired off into his mouth. With my cock still in his mouth, I could feel him swallow my load. As he did, I heard him go "Ummm."
As he pulled off he softly said, "That was delicious. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did."
"I did," I replied as I pulled up my pants. I left and returned to the restaurant, taking a table where I could watch the restroom door. I knew he had on jeans and a red plaid shirt.
About twenty minutes later, he emerged and came to the restaurant, casually glancing my way.
He was in his mid twenties and very muscular. he had a thin neat black beard and moustache his open shirt revealed a hairy chest. He was just over six foot in height and on his left hand I saw a wide gold wedding band. I stared at him, unable to believe that he was married and yet sucked cock.
He ordered coffee and I soon finished mine and paid. As I left and headed for my camper, he came up beside me and as we walked he asked, "Was that really your first time letting a guy blow you?"
"Yes, it was."
"It was awesome. Thanks for letting me be your first."
"May I ask you a personal question?" I asked.
"I saw your wedding band. Does your wife know that you suck guys?"
"Friend, I not only suck guys, but I also love getting fucked by guys. I enjoy sex with both men and women. My wife has no idea what I do on the road. Our sex life when I'm home is awesome. What I do on the road is strictly my business."
"I was just curious."
He patted me on the shoulder and said "No problem" then turned toward the truck parking. I watched as he climbed into a fairly new bright red Freightliner rig.
I returned to my camper and decided to stay there in the parking lot that night.
As it turned out, my motor home was parked facing the truck lot and I had a clear view of the guys big red rig.
I unlocked the camper and as I sat behind the wheel, I looked at the rig and saw him behind the wheel, looking straight at me. He waved casually.
Later, I pulled the privacy curtains around the front windows and as I did, I could see into his rig. There was a soft glow as if coming from a TV. I wondered if he was going to go back to the restroom again later.
I showered and put on a pair of shorts and turned on my TV. About two hours later there was a knock on the side door of the motor home. Looking out, I saw the driver standing there holding two cups of coffee.
"Yes?" I asked.
"First, I'm not here to attack you. I was going for coffee and saw your lights still on and thought we could have some coffee."
"Sure," I replied. "Come on in."
As he stepped in he looked around and said, "This is nice. Mind if I ask what it set you back?"
"It's not mine. It's a rental. I'm n a long vacation."
"Well, this is certainly the way to do it,"he said. Then he added, "I thought we might talk. It get lonely out here on the road and all the other truckers want to talk about is their crappy bosses or the traffic. I prefer talking about normal things. I'm Carl, by the way."
"Mark," I replied.
"Nice meeting you, Mark."
"Same here."
After a short pause, he looked at me and ask, "May I ask you something personal? If you don't want to answer I'll understand."
"Sure, go ahead."
"If that really was your first time letting another guy do you, what made you decide to do it?"
"Curiosity," I replied, then told him about the first night on the road when I walked in on the biker blowing the trucker.
"Damn", he said, "right there in the restroom?"
"Yea. It could have been anyone coming in, even a kid."
"Yea, and if it had been and I was the kids dad, I'd have been in jail right now after probably beating them both. They were real lucky it wasn't a state cop. I've seen them stake out those rest areas."
"Yea. If i find someone in a rest area and we click, I invite them to my rig, but only after waking the lot and making sure there are no undercover cops parked there."
"So you've seen guys get arrested?"
"Oh yea. Several times over the years. Once, I had stopped and used the restroom and it was empty. I went back to the truck and sat and waited to see if anything would develop. A car drove in and parked and the guy went in. A few seconds later a rig pulled in and parked."
He paused and sipped his coffee then continued.
"The driver headed for the restroom and was there a while when three guys got out of a plain car and headed for the restroom. They wore polo shirts that had the state police emblem on the front and the words 'State Police' on the back. They eased up to the opening and I decided to get nosey. I got out quietly and started walking over to the restroom. It was open air so I could hear the cops yell out that they were the police and for the guys to freeze. I walked in casually and up to a urinal. The guy that was in the car was getting off the floor. He was naked as a new born baby and the trucker had his pants down. The cops ran me out and after a moment they brought the guys out in handcuffs and loaded them into another car. A short time later two wreckers came in. One was a heavy duty one that hooked up to the rig and another to the guys car. They took the guys to jail and their vehicles to impound. I'm sure the driver lost his job over that."
"Hearing that, I guess the guys were lucky," I said, then asked him if i could ask him a personal question.
He agreed and I ask him how long he had been into guys and what got him started.
"It goes back to my youth. I was about fourteen when a buddy and i started playing around, jerking together. One thing led to another and we were soon sucking and fucking each other. I found that I enjoyed it but also liked fucking pussy. From then on I would have sex with either men or women. In fact, this buddy was my best man at my wedding. He's totally gay and he and I spent the night having sex the night before I got married. I just enjoy all sex."
"Unreal," I said, "and your wife has no idea."
"Not that I know of. She knows that he and I are the best of friends and that he's gay and has a lover but has no idea that he and I still find time to have sex. I get with him and his partner on occasion."
"What excuse do you use to get out?"
"Well, it's usually when I get back home. I'll tell the wife that I'll be in a day later that I actually get home. I'll spend that first night home with them."
"You're awful," I said laughing.
"Hey, so I'm over sexed. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do."
"I guess," I replied.
"Mark, do you think you will ever let another guy blow you?"
"Carl, I'm not sure. To be honest, though, part of me is wanting to ask you to do it again, yet another part is telling me not to go there. When I was working overseas, I'd go to the gym and when I'd see the guys naked in the shower, I thought i was just seeing if they were bigger than me, but now I'm not sure if that was the real reason."
"I understand totally what you're saying. A lot of guys are that way."
"I do appreciate you understanding."
"Mark, I do not believe in forcing sex on anyone. It has to be their decision. If a guy wants sex great, if not I respect his wishes."
"It's getting late and I really appreciate you visiting with me," he said.
"Carl, it's been enlightening for me, and thanks for the coffee."
"My pleasure," he said and stood and turned toward the door.
"Carl, wait," I blurted out.
He turned back toward me and I looked into his eyes and said, "Come with me."
I walked toward the bedroom area as he followed. After pulling the covers back, I began removing my shorts. "Why don't you get comfortable also," I said.

A New Orleans judge has ordered Amtrak to stop construction on a chain-link fence along the Earhart Boulevard train tracks that Mayor Mitch Landrieu and the City Council have said would impede growth in the surrounding neighborhood.
The city filed suit against National Railroad Passenger Corp., which operates as Amtrak, in Civil District Court, requesting a temporary restraining order and injunctions against the railcar operator.
Judge Christopher Bruno issued a temporary restraining order against the company Friday afternoon and set a hearing to consider a preliminary injunction for Oct. 6.
The suit was brought by the city and the New Orleans Building Corp., which leases the city-owned rail facilities to Amtrak. The city said the fence construction is in violation of Amtrak's lease, which requires the company to "comply promptly with all applicable federal, Louisiana and local laws."
The law the company is accused of breaking was passed with the express purpose of prohibiting the fence.
Earlier this month, the council voted 7-0 to direct the City Planning Commission to consider amending the city's proposed new comprehensive zoning ordinance to include creation of the Earhart Corridor Spur Track Interim Zoning District to prohibit the building of "any barrier or other obstruction" within 15 feet of the train tracks between South Lopez Street and South Broad Street, unless the fence is reviewed and approved by the City Planning Commission staff.
Passage of the motion had the effect of putting the interim zoning district and thus the prohibition into effect immediately.
The motion was introduced by Council President Stacy Head, who said the fence was "prisonlike."
"This is a barbed wire fence that looks very much like what the sheriff has been building around the jail," Head said at the meeting. "It sends the wrong message."
The fence would be 7 feet high and topped with a foot of barbed wire. Amtrak has said it needs to build the fence for security purposes.
But the council and the Mayor's Office said it would interrupt the growth of the Earhart Boulevard corridor, which for years was the victim of neglect and disinvestment but now is home to Restaurant Depot, the corporate headquarters of Bridge House, the Sucré bakery, Woodward Design + Build and several other businesses.
The Department of Safety and Permits issued a stop-work order to the railroad on Sept. 19, the day after the council's motion passed.
Amtrak continued working on the fence and the city issued a second stop-work order on Sept. 25, the city said in its lawsuit.
"Amtrak's refusal to comply with the city's repeated requests to cease construction leads the city to believe that it will not comply with the law absent an order from this court," the city wrote in its suit.
Attorneys for Amtrak have asked that the case be moved to federal court, citing the 50 percent in capital stock the U.S. government holds in the company.

Origin Energy has signalled a rush to complete renewable energy projects such as solar and wind farms over the next two years if the target of generating 20 per cent of electricity from renewable energy by 2020 is to be met.
As much as 40 per cent of the target 33 terawatt hours of additional electricity generation was yet to be built, it forecast, with the bulk likely to occur over the next two years, forcing the closure of coal-fired power stations.
"We're not mucking around here," Origin Energy managing director Grant King said. "We're permitting large-scale sites."
Mr King said the fall in the cost of developing large-scale renewable power stations, particularly solar energy which was less expensive than wind power, was helping to fuel the shift.
Renewables "are more attractive than ever as costs fall", Frank Calabria, the head of Origin's energy markets division, said.
Last week, rival energy utility AGL said it was seeking partners to invest in a $3 billion fund to build renewable energy projects.
Origin said it was likely to enter into so-called power purchase agreements, whereby it would buy the output from renewables projects, although it might not own the projects.
The company would not disclose which projects it was pursuing, beyond the recently announced solar project for the Darling Downs, west of Brisbane, which could expand to 150 megawatts. That would rank it as the largest solar project in Australia.
The extra output from renewable energy could supply as much as 15 per cent of all electricity needs, Mr King said.
"Something's got to give," Mr King said, pointing to the owners of coal-fired power stations as the biggest losers.
"We are under-generated," he said, referring to Origin selling more electricity than it generated in-house.
"We are not worried about stranding our own assets. We will play a role in accelerating the [renewables] roll-out."
More renewables would result in more power price volatility, he said.
That had been found in South Australia, where renewables dominated.
This also raised the need for gas-fired power stations, which would be turned on for short periods to help meet any market shortfall.
"That is something we will continue to see as more must-run renewables come in, displacing base-load [power]," Mr Calabria said of the outlook for price volatility. "We are pursuing a number of opportunities.
"We will see the introduction of base-load renewables increasingly over the next two years."
Origin is selling about $800 million of assets as it seeks to cut debt to $9 billion after the fall in oil prices with the completion of its Queensland gas export project.
Some assets on offer included renewable energy assets, it said, although any sales would have offtake agreements attached.
Origin sources a large portion of its electricity demands through the wholesale market,
Origin said on Thursday it might not pay a final dividend if the oil price did not recover, as it focused on cutting debt.

Im trying to get spicworks to read the size of my Exchange 2010 mailboxes. I have copied the exchange_push.ps1script to the local server. When i run the test command: ./exchange_push.ps1 hostname.domain.com -test (with my servername)

you need to run that form the directory the script resides in. So change your working directory to where the script is stored.
Dec 19, 2011 at 3:00 UTC
Try typing out the whole path for the script. something like c:\scripts\exchange_push.ps1 or wherever you have it located.

Hi guys i need some more help.
Which server does this script belong on? Does this belong on the server with the mailboxes or the CAS?
When i run with -test i get the following on both servers:

Supply values for the following parameters:
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Jan 11, 2012 at 9:31 UTC
Use the Exchange Management Shell on your server with the mailbox role.
I also found this bit at the bottom of the Spiceworks help page http:/
"If you are getting this error: Get-MailboxStatistics : The local server is not a Mailbox server. Please specify the name of a Mailbox server. At line:1 char:22 try using the -exchangeServer flag with the name of the cluster."

Design expert got $75,000 from Apple "so far" for his testimony
0. phoneArena posted on 07 Aug 2012, 04:16
We're already in the second week of the massive Apple vs Samsung legal battle, and lastly Apple brought a design expert to give his educated opinion…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Expert and nonbiased.
39. tedkord (Posts: 14133; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
I'd say he's at least $75,000 biased. For six figures (which this guy will ultimately get paid), I'll get on the stand and day Apple invented water.
18. Savage (unregistered)
Exactly! Anyone can say the first Galaxy looked a lot like iPhone. But why should Apple have to pay him? This makes Apple look guilty.
14. B3BLW29 (Posts: 238; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
75k is not even loose change for Apple... :P
Based on his testimony any thing that is rectangular has infringed upon Apple's patent..
Looks like pops was high on Moonshine :D
16. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)
PA, I don't find the tone of this article to be neutral at all. I'd say it seems to me that the author is trying to subtly throw Apple under the bus because of the witness.
22. roscuthiii (Posts: 2241; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
But you had no problem with the previous article in which the expert witness made his copying claims?
Sorry, it doesn't work that way. If the guy's testimony is pertinent enough to be newsworthy, then who and what he is is also just as pertinent. You just didn't like the article because this information could turn out to be a detriment to Apple's case.
30. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
hahahahah Good one, I think Victor would be happy to see someone didn't call him and apple fanboy

Maybe the last article is the real reason you don't like this article.
"Mxyzptlk: Nothing more than a biased claim. You can't prove anything about the witness being paid."

Im about to write also his previous comment but you write it first but it's ok:-). Its very big embarrassement for him. Almost all ísheep here commenting without thinking it first.
SHAME ON YOU!!! Mxyzptlk

Can't accept the truth? These are facts.
19. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Wow, I'm actually surprised. Literally, I never though Apple would pay its witnesses to testify, especially a designer. I know Samsung is guilty for making their Galaxy S look similar to the iPhone, but paying someone to testify makes it look like a bribe. But, question, is this really a bribe? Or is it just a "Thanks for defending our case" bonus?
40. tedkord (Posts: 14133; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Most expert witnesses in these types of trials are paid to testify. I'd imagine Samsung will have some paid witnesses, too. It does leave a taint on their testimony, but these types of folks aren't going to donate their time.
20. TheRetroReplay (Posts: 254; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
By this guy's logic, he said that anything that's a black rectangle is infringing on Apple's design. And Apple paying him $75,000 so far and continuing to pay him for his opinion, sounds really shady.
21. d_striders (Posts: 7; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
he is an expert professor, but in which field? what is the exact quality that makes him an expert witness? a professor whos website is still under construction doesnt look like much of an expert
23. OakleyDoakely (Posts: 3; Member since: 07 Aug 2012)
For a company that sold:
17 million iPads at 400-800 dollars,
37 million iPhones (3Gs -> 4s) at 200-900+ dollars
about 4-5 million macbooks going at 1k-5k
purchases of apple software programs/services ie (iCloud, Final Cut, Logic Studio)
Plus 30% of the profits made from their iTunes stores apps/books/music.
I think it's safe to say $75,000 is probably chump change to Apple.
I would say that this professor is probably going to get paid a lot more after this trial than $75,000.
I have a strong doubt that apple is really feeling the alleged $2.5 billion missing in sales due to the Samsung Galaxy devices.
26. andro. (Posts: 1999; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Another day another ridiculous fact about serious wrong doings from dodegy apple again. The court case is getting pretty widespread with the general public through word of mouth and I've seen more and more customers even comment that apple'just try to sue everyone'. The result is people turning away from them and android market share massively rising everywhere except perhaps the US,these stupid court cases are doing apple more harm than good.
42. Aeires (unregistered)
Wonder how many people are seeing Apple gets 77% of mobile profits, at their expense? It's going to end eventually, probably with the bottom dropping out as people get fed up with the BS Apple keeps spewing.
48. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Being unctuous again?
Get ready for ZTE or Huawei to copy Samsung before people stop buying the iPhone in droves.
50. Aeires (unregistered)
Ardent, I forgot to say thanks on your last comment to me, I was laughing for days. Unctuous, what a hoot. Especially when it came from someone as pompous as yourself.
57. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
This isn't a wrongdoing as paying an expert witness is standard procedure. Samsung will have paid witnesses as well.
I like how you throw in bogus "personal experiences" which can't be verified.
72. tedkord (Posts: 14133; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
This coming from the guy who has, "played around with a Galaxy S3, and it was laggy."
83. doublehammer (Posts: 75; Member since: 07 Aug 2012)
can you verify anything you say?
94. aikonix (Posts: 60; Member since: 08 Apr 2012)
Taco.... standard procedures.... cmon dude, if you call out a witness, and the court orders you to be there, thats NOT BEING PAID. Apple did NOT have to pay that guy, and let alone, did NOT have to pay him $75 grand. $75 grand is a LOT of money and as easily as it is for ANYONE to say what he said... Do you not get it?? Your simple fight through-out this whole comment page was "its standard procedure..." .. "its standard...." "yada yada" NO.. its NOT Taco, get that through ur no brain of yours!! Court ordered appearances require to be shown or must has a VERY good reason on why your not showing up and that reason is to the court not the defendant/plaintiff.
$75 grand my a$$.... wish i could use that
28. phitch (Posts: 214; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
I am going to say this: it didn't take a genius to see where the market was headed in terms of cell phone design -- especially if your job was to keep up on design trends. With the rising popularity of Windows Phones at the time, the icon based BlackBerry, touchscreen based Nokia phones, and the design of GPS/TV Screens/PDAs did Apple somehow think it was the only company going to use the simple touch screen in middle/black bezel/silver border look with a cell phone? Are we to believe that LG and Apple came up with nearly the same exact design but Samsung couldn't? That other products that came out before that look remarkably similar to the iPhone couldn't be used as design precursors?
47. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
You keep forgetting, Apple's design came out with world's best mobile OS. Prada's OS was garbage, which goes to show you can't judge a book by it's covers or a cell phone by it's shell.
51. Aeires (unregistered)
Best OS by whose estimation? Yours?

|7 nights
Il Rivo is equally suitable for couples, groups of friends and families. Sleeps 7, plus baby cot. Thick stone walls, chestnut beamed ceilings, stylish bathrooms, some antique furniture and colourful interior decor make Il Rivo a refuge from the stresses of everyday life! Set amidst olive groves, surrounded by pine, acacia, and fruit trees with glorious views over the surrounding densely wooded hillsides studded with medieval hilltop villages, Il Rivo offers a taste of quintessential Tuscan living! One of the owners is an architect who has recently lovingly renovated the house with traditional materials to include an ensuite full bathroom, a modernised family bathroom and a third bedroom. There is a terrace with a grassed sunbathing area, a fruit tree with swing, and a vine-clad pergola for 'alfresco' dining on an old olive mill wheel table. The terrace offers wonderful respite after a days sightseeing whilst enjoying the magnificent view across the valley. The two double bedrooms are at opposite ends of the house, the main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, and the second dual aspect bedroom is near to the family bathroom allowing a degree of independence. The third bedroom has a bunk bed and resembles a small chapel with French doors, two windows and a pitched roof. A large wrought iron day bed in an inner hallway between the main bedroom and the twin room provides a further sleeping option, a window provides natural light. There are many tourist attractions on the doorstep: Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Tuscan Riviera and skiing at Abetone. Several lovely swimming pools nearby (one with curved water slide!), established walking trails, cycling.
We are from London but thankfully have the solace of Il Rivo to look forward to several times a year! We use it as a place to unwind, entertain friends and family and to experience typical Tuscan living away from the tourist hourdes. One of the owners is an architect and has sensitively renovated the property. As busy working parents with a family to raise we fully appreciate the haven that 'Il Rivo' provides and are very happy to let our guests share the experience. We love exploring the local hills and villages often stopping to sample the delicious local food. We've done many day trips to places of interest, but always enjoy coming home to collapse on the terrace!
Michelle purchased this farmhouse in 1989
Hi Michelle,
Il Rivo is a beautiful thick stone walled house set high up overlooking a picturesque valley. The views are magnificent and the peaceful setting is perfect for unwinding and relaxing. The house is very well equipped with everything you could need and more. It was clean and the beds are comfortable. The little village of Vellano at the top of the hill has an excellent "locals" restaurant serving authentic Italian food at a very reasonable price. The guy who runs it is so enthusiastic – just kept coming with new dishes for us to try. The town of Pescia at the bottom of the hill has everything you could need to buy.
Pescia has a train station from which you can easily get trains to Lucca (20 mins), Pisa (35 mins) and Florence (60 mins). We loved Lucca, a walled citadel rich in history and yet without the crowds of Florence. Hiring bikes to cycle round the city walls was the highlight of the holiday for our girls (aged 10 and 12). We did it twice! Pisa was also excellent. Whilst we all enjoyed seeing the statute of David (and many other sculptures) in Florence, the crowds do get over-powering…
From Il Rivo it was great in the same holiday to spend a day on the beach and another visiting the snowy ski slopes in the hills. And just sitting out on the terrace catching the sun was lovely. We never saw the wild boar in the evenings but one day we did chase three boar piglets down the road in our car much to the excitement of the girls!
We very much hope to return as there is so much to do that we didn't have time for.
We really enjoyed your house in the olive groves. It was perfect for our
group of four. We arrived exhausted and hungry and the man at Moreno's in
Vellano took us in and fed us well. In our 12 days, we returned to him
again. Delicious.
Everything in the house worked and we were able to make WIFI calls to the
States. David was a huge help, directing us to the Communist Club for
Paninis. We later went there during the Chestnut Festival, choosing it
over Florence.
We walked to the top of Castlevecchio and met a nice retired couple and she
spent the next hour giving us a tour of her digs and the town.
Our side trips away to Venezia and Cinque Terra were delightful, but we
found ourselves looking forward to resting "at home" at Il Rivo.
The mountain side setting is stunning and peaceful. We found only Italians in the local areas. Perfect.
After a hectic few days in Pisa, Il Rivo proved to be a little piece of heaven. It felt you were a million miles from the hustle and bustle of the towns and cities on the plain below but it was so easy to access them when we felt the need.
The house suited us perfectly, with our grown up daughters ensconced down one end of the house and us, the other and there was plenty of room outside to sunbath or sit in the shade and gaze at the view. It is amazing cycling country, though not for the faint hearted - peddling round Lucca's city walls was enough for some of us. Being able to walk up to Villano each morning for bread was a delight; the wild life very much in evidence from deer to wild boar and the beauty of the countryside was breath taking.
We were just sorry we had only booked one week!
A beautiful traditional stone Tuscan farmhouse set in an amazing location on a hillside just below the hilltop village of Vellano in NorthernTuscany. The house was very spacious , clean and comfortable with everything one could require in terms of cookware etc. Lovely terrace to sit on and admire the view of the valley and surrounding hills. We were a little late in the season and the weather was getting quite cool in the evenings though still quite warm in the daytime. The hills are covered with chestnut trees and we sadly missed the annual chestnut festival by one day though we roasted some ourselves- delicious. We enjoyed strolling up to the village and ate several meals in the local trattoria and pizzeria which were delicious. Otherwise our favourite place by far was Lucca. About 30-40 minutes drive; a beautiful Tuscan city surrounded by walls along which one can stroll, cycle or , as many of the locals do, jog. An abundance of pretty piazzas and Romanesque churches within the walls. So much quieter than Florence, one is hardly aware of other tourists. We visited an excellent exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions and attended one of the Puccini concerts that take place every day of the year ( he was born and lived in Lucca). Montevatini Terme and Alto well worth a visit. Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli is very beautiful though somewhat marred by all the surrounding tourist tack. Overall, a lovely place to stay and a good location for visiting a slightly less well known part of Tuscany.
This spacious villa nestles in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. From the veranda you can see wild boar, foxes and deer and its a very peaceful location. The villa is clean and well equipped and the wifi was a great help in organising days out. We visited the beach, zoo, the funicular railway and the local pool complete with 3m diving board. We did go for a couple of walks into the woods but the brambles made the routes nearly impassable and August is too hot really for hiking.
A couple of points to note there is a steep path down to the villa from the carport and mosquito repellent was needed when sitting outside (there's a whole aisle of it in the supermarket).
Overall we enjoyed ourselves and I would recommend this villa to my friends.
We were on a fun holiday, first to celebrate a 60th birthday with some close friend's,and to have fun which we did.
The house was more than we expected, it was fantastic, the view's the house the food and the wine were what we wanted,we all enjoyed Il Rivo, the friend's that came with us said they would go to Italy again, so will we.
What a great place to live, i'd recommend Il Rivo to anyone, thank you for a great time.
Amazing place, peace and tranquility abound. Wild boar seen from the terrace most nights along with deer and a local cat. Los of rest , wine and pasta. Great place to get away from it all.
Special interest holidays:
There are several ancient footpaths linking the villages and valleys around Il Rivo, more information can be provided. The whole area is steeped in history, from the 10th century onwards - with the Renaissance of course predominant.
About 50 minutes drive away are many fine beaches. Marina di Carrara, tour the marble quarries along precipitous drops and pass out on the beach after! Forte dei Marmi apparently has the dubious honour of being named one of the worlds top ten topless beaches by Forbes! Marina di Pietrasanta, boasts famous artists and sculptors. Viareggio the largest beach. Torre di Lago hosts the famous Puccini festival each summer, idyllic lakeside open-air theatre – an absolute must for opera/music lovers.
Flights : Pisa (50mins) is the nearest airport, followed by Florence (50mins), then Bologna (1hr 45mins) and Genoa (2hrs 15mins). Airlines include BA, Ryanair and Easyjet; Meridiana flies to Florence from Gatwick. Car Hire is essential. Recommendations are: Avis, Holiday Autos and Sixt. If the car rental rate doesn't include refundable excess it is worth considering taking out an Excess Insurance Policy, which often works out cheaper than the rental company's policy.

Nearest village, Vellano is 5 minutes drive or 10-12 minutes walk up through olive groves. Nearest town is the market town of Pescia, 12 minutes drive down the hill. Montecatini Terme 15-20 minutes; Lucca 25-30 minutes; Florence, Pisa and the coast 50 minutes; Torre di Largo 1 hour; skiing resort of Abetone 1 hour; Vinci 1 hour; Cinque Terre 2 hours; Verona 2 hours.
Further Details:
In Vellano there is a pizzeria/bar offering fantastic views; a convenience store selling fresh bread, milk, water, butter, cheese, wine and household supplies; a hairdresser and a dentist. There are several excellent restaurants in the valley serving delicious fresh local cuisine at reasonable prices - be prepared for big servings! Two of them have areas for children to play outside. Pescia has a lively market each Saturday morning selling locally grown vegetables and fruit as well as cheese, clothes, shoes and bags.
There are banks in Pescia with cash points, but if you need to go into a bank the opening times are generally 8.30am-12/1pm, and sometimes 2.30-4pm. Being Italy these afternoon opening times are a little arbitrary! Best to stick to the mornings! As a rule shops are open 8.30am-12/1pm and 4pm-7.30/8pm; and restaurants serve from 12.00-2.30pm and 8pm-10.30pm, although these times often extend. The supermarket in Pescia is called Esselunga and is situated on the road into Pescia from either Lucca or the autostrada. There are a few delicatessens in Pescia for more particular taste buds, and an excellent one on the road from Pescia to Vellano that sells fresh bread, cured and roast meats, sauces and cheese – and it's open on Sundays.
The hospital in Pescia is very good, we've had occasion to use it a few times over the years and have always been impressed with the level of care. There is a swimming pool open to non-guests at a boutique 'residence' between Il Rivo and Pescia and a big pool on the other side of Pescia complete with curving water slide and diving boards – a favourite with the kids. There is horse riding in the area as well. The owner is very happy to advise about any of the above – please just ask.

ok so my girlfriend and I go to different high schools and have the same pool of friends. Every weekend someone makes plans and she wants to go but I just say I don't wanna go because I just want to be alone with her for once because we have only done that twice, every other time its only for 40 minutes after our friends have had to leave and go home or just me and her along with 6+ friends. She takes me saying no as an anti-social thing and when I try to explain to her that we rarely are ever alone she says she feels that as if she should feel the same way. How can I fix this without coming out and saying "You see them every day, not me. You can take a weekend away from them and just be with me for a change" cause that could possibly end the relationship . Also, she's afraid that if we do spend time alone and deny their invites to hangout on the weekend we will be that couple that never hangs out with anyone else but each other
Most Helpful Girl
If you can't talk openly with each other, then I really don't know how long your relationship will last :/
but basically it seems like you're going to need to bring it to her attention that she sees these people all the time and the only time you're able to see her is on the weekends. Also, if you guys have a night alone once every other week or something, that is only 1/4 nights (Friday and Saturday) and it's perfectly reasonable.
just talk to her about it21|10|0

Hello, guys! My next blog will be a quick blog post about some various topics that were too small for thier own post (Starfruit vs Rotobaga, Dandelion first impressions, etc.). But after that, I'll be running a blog dedicated to the good ideas made by the community.
Problem is, there's a lot more junk than gold on the PvZCC wiki, and I don't have time to meander up and down the community wiki in search of the gems. So, I'm counting on you guys for submissions. If you know of any good content for the post, let me know!
Now, keep in mind:
- I'm looking for ideas that are both imaginative and balanced, but I can be lenient on both. At the very least, if you think the page has what it takes, let me know. I can't use an idea I don't hear about!
- I'm going to be looking at everything- plants, zombies, areas, and anything else game related. Don't be shy!
- If you're submitting one of your own ideas, make sure to finish it and polish it up BEFORE recommending it to me. I'll be fair when judging, but you only get one chance to make a first good impression.
- I'm not afraid to showcase multiple ideas from the same user. Give me all you've got!
For criteria on good fan content, see my blog post "Fan Content Creation 101". It's a good starting place. Thank you!

"Summer's Lease Hath All Too Short a Date", as the Bard once wrote.
Wow, that Shakespeare knew a thing or two about Conveyancing!
For those (unlike the Bard) who have read our Guide to Legal Jargon you already know of course that a Lease is time dependent.
So, how does buying a Lease differ from buying a freehold property, and what do you need to know now before buying a flat?
Urban Myth: Flats are the only dwellings governed by Leases.
First, Leases are not just restricted to flats - or Apartments as Developers and Estate Agents prefer to call them- you can buy a house with a Lease.
Just down the road from us, the town of Yate has most of its houses held under long Leases of 999 years.
But mainly, when people talk about Leases they are referring to flats.
And that's what we'll be addressing in this post.
The basics you should know about Leases.
When you buy a flat, you purchase the right to live in the property for a certain amount of time.
There will still be a freehold over-arching your Lease.
You will become a Leaseholder, or Lessee or Tenant of the flat and the Landlord or Lessor will own the freehold of the property.
You will own the leasehold flat for the remainder of the period stated which can last (when new) from 99 to 999 years.
At the end of the period, the Lease will revert to the Landlord or Lessor unless you have applied to extend the Lease.
Leasehold extensions are a separate matter and you can read more about extending your Lease here.
Word of Warning: If you require mortgage finance you will struggle to find a suitable Lender if the number of years remaining on the Lease is fewer than 60 years.
How Are Leases Managed?
Let's take an example of a building divided into three flats.
The Landlord will either be non-resident or better still, all three of the flat owners who form a management company that is specially formulated to run the maintenance of the whole building or block.
The flat owners can agree to employ managing agents if they so wish.
Usually, for larger blocks of flats professional management companies will run the management of the building (often when a Developer is selling).
What you should know about Ground Rent and Service Charge.
A lease is similar to a Tenancy, so you must pay rent to the Landlord, which is known as a Ground Rent. The amount of Ground Rent will vary and some will be fixed, while others will increase over the length of the Lease.
You will also pay a service charge to cover the maintenance of the whole building and any common parts such as paths, roads and lifts.
Your Conveyancer will make enquires of the Management Company to ascertain the cost of the current service charges and whether any major repairs are planned.
What you should know about access and amenities to the flat.
Access issues are important.
What you should know about alterations, extensions, improvement and renovations.
Your Conveyancer will ask the Seller's Solicitors if the flat has been altered or extended since the date of the original lease. You could also tell your Conveyancer if you think the flat may have had alterations as he or she will not normally visit the property.
Your Conveyancer will also commission a Local Authority Search for confirmation of any approved alterations. You can read more about what a Local Search may reveal here. http://www.cluttoncox.co.uk/site/blog/conveyancingblog/what_local_searches_reveal_.html
If you wish to make any alterations on to the flat, you must first check the terms of the Lease. You will require consent from your landlord before embarking on any big projects.
External alterations or extensions may be impossible or impracticable, and internal adjustments may need:
Alterations can be a lot of hassle. You should be sure that you like the property as it is before you commit.
What you should know about Building Insurance.
The Building in which the flat forms a part will be insured by the Landlord, but it's the leaseholder's responsibility to purchase contents insurance.
Your share of the insurance premium will be included in your service charge.
You have the right to challenge the amount of insurance is if you believe that you are paying too much. It is the landlord's responsibility to find an acceptable insurance premium.
Will my Conveyancer Charge me more for a Lease?
Flat Leases are more complicated than freeholds so you may be charged an extra fee by your Conveyancer.
You can still quantify that fee by agreeing a fixed fee with your Solicitor in advance.
Be very wary of the "estimated" legal fee as your Lease could be very complicated, and as a result, you may be charged hundreds of pounds more.
We have a guaranteed fixed fee with no hidden extras. We suggest you ensure your Conveyancing Quotation is on a fixed fee basis.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has won his appeal of an four-game suspension he'd been given because of a positive test for Adderall.
Sherman tweeted the news this afternoon, saying simply, "I won."
Sherman and his teammate, Brandon Browner, had tested positive for Adderall, a banned substance unless prescribed by a doctor, Browner began serving his suspension immediately. Sherman spent Friday in New York arguing his appeal. He contended that the cup containing his specimen leaked and the person collecting the sample placed a second cup, which had a broken seal, beneath the first one.
One of Sherman's lawyers, Maurice Suh, said in a statement today: "We are very pleased that the hearing officer recognized that the egregious errors that occurred with Mr. Sherman's collection required overturning the NFL's discipline. Mr. Sherman provided honest testimony about a severely flawed process, and the hearing officer found him to be a credible man. We couldn't be happier for Richard, and we were thrilled to help him and the union [the NFL Players Association] present a very strong case."
Just as it did for Ryan Braun, a flawed collection process made Sherman's case. One of the Seahawks' best defensive players, having him for a playoff run is crucial. Now, with Browner having served his suspension, they'll have both in the secondary.
Thank you @nfl for upholding the truth! To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord

A Meereenese homeless mother is a resident of Meereen.
Season 6
This woman and her baby are seen living on the streets of Meereen under a damaged roof supported by wooden beams. One day as her baby is crying a dwarf and a bald man approach them. The dwarf offers her a coin saying "For your baby." "To eat." and then repeats the last word while gesturing to his mouth. Believing the dwarf is trying to pay her to give him her baby so he can eat it the woman panics holding it close until the bald man assures her the dwarf simply does not speak Valyrian well and really wants to give her the coin in order for her to buy some food for the baby. Taking the coin and handing it to her she nervously accepts it as the dwarf smiles, after thanking them she watches as the two walk away.

Minivans are a polarizing force on the modern automotive landscape. There's no denying the extreme practicality that minivans bring to the table in the form of generous passenger capacity and cavernous cargo space. Some drivers, however, are hesitant to get behind the wheel of a minivan due to bad memories of the dull driving dynamics of first-generation models and styling that is, in a word, box-like.
This is where crossovers come in - that class of vehicle designed to offer a sedan-style ride while satisfying the plus-size hauling demands of modern families. The minivan versus crossover battle is one that is waged on a daily basis on dealer lots across the country, and advances in engineering and design have helped to create a fresh crop of vans that have plenty of positive surprises for potential crossover customers willing to broaden their horizons.
Let's take a look at ten of the most appealing minivans and their potential crossover replacements.

Question: On March 2 Bankers Life Casualty Co proposed in
On March 2, Bankers Life & Casualty Co. proposed in a letter addressed to Gaston Trepanier that he accept a lump-sum settlement of $20,000 in exchange for Bankers Life's release from a disability income policy that paid Trepanier a $400-a-month benefit as long as he lived. The letter stated that should Mr. Trepanier decide "to accept our offer," he could "jot a note at the bottom of this letter and return it." Mrs. Trepanier discussed the idea with her husband, who decided to accept the offer and directed her to write a note on the bottom of the March letter as directed. She did so on April 6, and placed the letter in an envelope, intending to send it the following day. On April 7, Mr. Trepanier was hospitalized and the letter was not mailed. Mr. Trepanier fell into a coma on April 8. On April 12, Mrs. Trepanier tried to accept the offer by mailing the letter to Bankers Life. On April 14, Mr. Trepanier died. Bankers Life subsequently revoked its offer and issued a final disability payment. Was a contract formed when Mrs. Trepanier accepted the $20,000 offer on her husband's behalf?

Harbin Ice Festival

lets go together---i'll bring the rum
Report Abuse
i'm there too...

Do a search here - there have been several reports on the ice festival.
Report Abuse
The start time of this festival is January 5 and last for a month. During the festival, there are Winter swimming competition, Ice Hockey, snow football, alpine skiing tournament, ice sculpture competition, an international ice sculpture contest, ice speed skating competition, poetry festival, snow photography exhibition, book fair, snow film festival and weddings on ice and so on ... it is really worth seeing.
Report Abuse
I'm going to risk it at the end of January. Terrified about the cold but have decided to take the risk given the magic of the landscape and the festivals. We've booked an organised tour for most of the time which travels by train so hopefully won't be too bad.
As we're from Sydney, appropriate clothing was a huge issue. Initially decided just to hire it here before leaving but with the winter sales on, I managed to get a cheap down filled jacket at a reasonable price.
There's lots of advice here and on TA which I am reading and absorbing about dealing with the cold.
I trust that there is some truth in the rumour that alcohol doesn't freeze!
Go on, risk it....
Report Abuse
Please report back after your trip. Would love to hear about this. We haven't been to China yet and would likely do a first trip to the usual tourist locations, but would consider Harbin in the future. As we are from Florida, the cold is also a big issue. We have considered shipping winter clothes to a hotel in Harbin and carrying summer clothes with us. Once we finish in Harbin (a few days only) we would fly to a warmer destination in Asia and ship our winter clothes back home.
Report Abuse
Make certain that you have PLENTY of warm clothes. I was there in January, 2011, and I know this is crazy, but, I didn't get to the Ice Festival.. The reason.. I was slip sliding too much on the road in Harbin, and was concerned of a fall.... Did walking around the hotel etc.
It was MINUS 20C to MINUS 25C when I was in Harbin, so, be prepared.
Get some slip on spikes for your shoes. I ordered some, but, they didnt arrive until I returned home ..yes, post from UK was slow over XMAS.
I have photos of Harbin, but,I am in China now,and Facebook is out of bounds.My VPN isnt working either, so, no Facebook, Twitter etc..
The " Great Firewall of China " has claimed me this trip.

We visited Harbin in Jan 2007, but I doubt it's gotten too much colder since then. It wasn't cold at all when wearing proper ski gear -- ski trousers, winter coat, scarf, ski gloves, ear muffs, hat. You can buy hat, scarf and earmuffs at many local shops. One guy with us wore jeans and was cold. I wore regular walking boots and didn't find it very slippery, but I was quite careful.
Oh, and I was 29 weeks pregnant too.
I think you can do it.
Report Abuse
Finally on Facebook...Photos from Harbin in January, 2011. No ice festival, but, street scenes.
Report Abuse
Thanks gearsau, very much aprpeciated your advice. I read your posts a few weeks ago and decided I HAD to have something to put on boots after your experiences!
have just ordered (Sept 2) the chains for boots as per your recommendation. Hope they will arrive in plenty of time before late Jan departure. So I have benefitted from your experience, many thanks.
Love the photos, thanks, it seems a bit like Europe in winter but I suspect I'm being hopeful.
I think we have the essential clothes but have taken note of the advice to buy there if necessary. Hugely cheaper than Sydney ... just hurts a bit buying clothes that I'll never wear again. Still winter sales at Kathmandu amd Snowgum have helped. At Snowgum the guy who served me was from Siberia so he clued me in. Also said wait until you get there.
Again thanks for all the good advice and will let you all know how it goes. Which reminds me I must organise insurance!

Happy Joe's Birthday Party
After t-ball, I took Nathan to a birthday party for one of his classmates. It was at Happy Joe's, which is one of my favorite pizza places! The lady who hosted the party has a sister that works there and she dressed up as a clown for the party.
This was the sweetest party ever, they had pizza and soda for the adults, too! And, here I thought I was going to starve since there was no time to eat inbetween t-ball and this party! Yay! The birthday boy doesn't like pizza (too funny since they had the party at a pizza place), so they ordered him a mac and cheese pizza since he likes mac and cheese. He tried it but didn't like it, either... but, I bet Autumn would love it. I need to take her to Happy Joe's so she can try it sometime. They also had a taco pizza. Ha-ha! Here is his Star Wars cake.
The tradition at Happy Joe's for parties, too, is to have a bowl full of 24 scoops of icecream! Wow! That is a lot of icecream. She had cupcakes AND the Star Wars cake, too.
Then, after eating the kids got to play some games. So much fun!

My blood type is O+ I found out by blood type by taking a blood test at the pediatric center. I had my blood drawn from me with a needle. Then I returned 18 days later for my results.
Have an opinion?
I'm positive.
A positive. Don't really know what that means, but there it is...
0 positive.
you're zero positive? dude..
Yeah, it's the most common type of blood. My mom is 0 negative, which is rare.
It depends on the region. I believe O is rarer in Asia.
Did you know you shouldn't have kids with someone who's O positive too?
@bubble_tea Really? According to this site, 37.4% of people have O+ thebloodconnection.org/.../ I don't know how reliable this source is though.
I've never heard that of two O+ shouldn't have a baby; why is that though?
Maybe world wide it is, but the divide is not evenly distributed globally.
I thought I learnt that from a bio teacher. There is heightened risk that your child will have health issues if the parents have the same blood type AND same rhesus positive/negative
Well.. shouldn't is maybe exaggerated.. but they have to be closer monitored.
@bubble_tea Oh... I gotta ask a doctor to know for sure xD So now every time I go to a date I'm gonna ask the girl what blood type she is xD
I thought that if they both have the same blood type is good cause there are more chance of the baby to get the same blood type and therefore the mother won't have problems during pregnancy, cause if the baby has an incompatible blood type with the mother's blood type, the mother's body will reject the baby, therefore, the baby will die.
Wait.. is this really what happens or something you think that will happen? xD I have a different blood type than my mother.. I survived LOL
I think it's more like siblings having children in that case... blood too similar is a bad thing..
@bubble_tea It does happen, sometimes, but it happens with incompatible blood types, not just if they're different. My mother is O- and my sister and I are O+. Here it explains in better https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK2266/
by the way, I just realized that in my first comment I wrote 0 (zero) instead of O. That's why you commented right? xD In Spain we say "Cero positivo" which translated is "Zero positive", we don't say "O positive" that's why it may have sounded weird xD
Oh.. so it's only about the rhesus factor, not the blood type.. whoops, my bad xD
Haha.. yeah.. it was the reason hahaha we call O 0 too over here ^^
I'm a B positive as well
It's o+
I have no clue. its red though
