<br> The 2016 trip is full however there are still spaces available for the same dates in 2018!
February 11: Arrive Johannesburg, South Africa
Touch down at Johannesburg International Airport where you are met and assisted to the complimentary shuttle to your hotel. Johannesburg grew from gold and diamond mining, dating back to the 1800's, and the city's local name, Egoli, means The City of Gold. Today Johannesburg is a wealthy and fast-paced city, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, earning its reputation as the "New York of Africa", while also being considered as one of the largest man-made forests in the world due to the incredible number of tress which have been planted in the urban centers.
Peermont MetcourtOvernight at Peermont Metcourt.
February 12 & 13: Panorama Route
We meet our guide and driver this morning and depart for the Panorama Route on our way towards Kruger Park. The mountainous escarpment of Mpumalanga presents stunning views of the Lowveld. Blyde River Canyon, is the third largest canyon on Earth and is situated below the confluence of the Blyde (joy) and Treur (sorrow) rivers. There are stunning views of the Escarpment from legendary viewpoints such as God's Window, where on a clear day, you can see as far as Kruger Park and Mozambique. Other natural attractions include Bourke's Luck Potholes, where Tom Bourke, a 19th-century gold rush prospector, is said to have made his fortune. Water erosion over millennia has carved cylindrical sculptures from the canyon's red and yellow rocks which are interspersed with rock pools. From the canyon look out eastwards to the Three Rondavels or Three Sisters, three massive spirals of dolomite that rise from the far wall of the canyon. A single quartzite column - aptly named the Pinnacle - rises from the wooded canyon, offering more spectacular vistas.
We may spot Verreaux's eagle, the rare bald ibis which nests on the cliff ledges, and if we are lucky, all 5 species of South African primates, including vervet and samango monkeys, chacma baboons and both species of bushbaby. Late this afternoon we arrive at our lodge, which is a haven for more than 200 different bird species and numerous migratory species of wildlife. The following day we can explore the pristine natural environment on one of many nature walking trails and/or head out to photograph more of the remarkable geologic formations in the area.
Iketla LodgeTwo nights at Iketla Lodge.
February 14-18: Sabi Sands Private Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park
We continue through the end of the Panorama route today to the renowned Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park. We'll have lunch and a rest before setting out on an afternoon game drive with camp guides.
We have four full days to explore the reserve on game drives and walking safaris. The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is a 65 000 hectare reserve, pioneered by the landowners in the 1950's, when the internal fences were dropped and a shared environmental management program was put in place. Today, many of these families are now third and fourth generation land owners, their legacy being the successful conservation of the highest density of big game in South Africa. Even though there is a 50km unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park, the game in the Sabi Sands reserve is well habituated resulting in unforgettable close encounters and prolific sightings, particularly of the elusive leopard. The Sabi and the Sand Rivers run through the reserve, which add further dimension to the bio-diversity of this area.
Arathusa Safari LodgeFive nights at Arathusa Safari Lodge. All meals included.
February 19-22: iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Maputuland, KwaZulu Natal
We have a full day drive (12+ hours) through the sovereign kingdom of Swaziland to get from our safari lodge to the Indian Ocean. For three full days we explore this region by vehicle, boat on and on foot to photograph the diverse eco-systems found here. The iSimangaliso Wetland Park was listed as South Africa's first World Heritage Site in December 1999 in recognition of its superlative natural beauty and unique global values.
The 332,000 hectare Park contains three major lake systems, eight interlinking ecosystems, 700 year old fishing traditions, most of South Africa's remaining swamp forests, Africa's largest estuarine system, 526 bird species and 25,000 year old coastal dunes which are among the highest in the world. The name iSimangaliso means miracle and wonder, which aptly describes this unique place. iSimangaliso must be the only place on the globe where the oldest land mammal (the rhinoceros) and the world's biggest terrestrial mammal (the elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (the coelacanth) and the world's biggest marine mammal (the whale).We will also visit Lake Sibaya, which has 100 km of untouched shoreline and at 70 km2 is South Africa's largest freshwater lake. The lake falls within the Isimangaliso Wetland Park, now a World Heritage Site, and the Ramsar Convention assures its international conservation status. The lake's diverse flora provides a variety of habitats for birds, mammals and aquatic life. Research reveals that hundreds of years ago the lake was once connected to the sea and with the natural closure of the estuary, numerous fish and aquatic creatures were trapped in a fresh water environment. Lake Sibaya contains the second largest population of hippopotamus and crocodile in KwaZulu-Natal and is an important breeding, feeding and roosting area for a host of bird species. Surface water in the surrounding coastal plain often disappears completely during dry spells, making the lake the only source of permanent water for birds and mammals.
Thonga Beach LodgeFour nights at Thonga Beach Lodge. All meals included.
February 23: Depart or Extension
This morning we have time for one last activity and lunch before the drive about 4 hours south to Durban to meet the direct flight to Johannesburg for those people heading home or on to Cape Town for the extension. Breakfast.
Touch down at Cape Town International Airport this evening where we meet our local guide and transfer to our guesthouse in the city bowl. The old and established suburbs of Gardens, Oranjezicht and Tamboerskloof merge into each other as they line the foothills of Table Mountain and Signal Hill. The area enjoys convenient proximity to the city, the Table Mountain Cableway, as well as the beaches. The narrow little streets are lined by original Cape buildings, many of which have been beautifully restored, some now housing museums and art galleries, as well as lively sidewalk cafés and highly acclaimed restaurants. Now known for its trendy and modern vibe, this region is often visited on foot, encompassing the historic parliament buildings, the Company Gardens and the lively café culture and boutiques of Kloof Street.
More QuartersThree nights at More Quarters. Breakfast included.
February 24: Cape Town City & Table Mountain
Today we have a full day exploration of Cape Town, known affectionately as the Mother City. We have ample time along the way to stop and set up shots. We visit the Houses of Parliament, the Castle (built between 1666 and 1679, this is South Africa's oldest building), the lively Greenmarket Square with its daily market, the Company Gardens and of course Table Mountain which will give us spectacular views over the city and Peninsula (cable car fee is included but weather dependent). The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway opened its doors to its first visitors on 4 October 1929. Since then, it has had many upgrades, bringing it to the point where it can safely welcome an average of 800 000 visitors each year. The round cable cars take about 5 – 10 minutes to carry 65 passengers from Tafelberg Road to the top of Table Mountain and they gently rotate, offering 360 degree views on the way.
On the descent, we stop at the colorful Bo- Kaap, home to the Malay community and one of the oldest residential areas in the city. Cross over to District Six, once a vibrant Coloured neighborhood, before forced removals under the Group Areas Act of Apartheid turned it into a desolate wasteland.
February 25: Cape Peninsula & Cape Point
This morning we head out of the city to the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, before crossing over to Hout Bay. From here we drive to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve via Chapman's Peak, one of the world's most breathtaking coastal drives, where we board a funicular to get to the top of the Peninsula to witness the symbolic meeting of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans and enjoy spectacular views over False Bay. After lunch, continue to Simonstown, the naval base, and visit the African Penguin breeding colony at Boulders Beach. Then stop at the world renowned Kirstenbosch Gardens before arriving back at the hotel.
February 26 & 27: Winelands
We return to more familiar landscapes as we drive to the Cape Winelands; the route winds its way through superb mountain ranges, vineyards and Cape Dutch homesteads. The picturesque region of the Winelands is centered around three charming towns each with their own unique appeal. The French Huguenot town of Franschhoek is widely regarded as the culinary capital of South Africa with its highly acclaimed outdoor cafes and bistros. Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in the country, is the historic center of the Winelands and is a bustling university town set in oak lined avenues, while Paarl has a beautiful setting beneath the imposing Helderberg mountains. These towns are surrounded by prestigious wine estates equally renowned for their award winning wines.
The first stop is Stellenbosch today, the second oldest town in South Africa, with canal lined avenues, and magnificent examples of Cape Dutch architecture where we enjoy our first wine tasting, coupled with a chocolate and dessert tasting. Onward over the scenic Helshoogte Pass, to Franschhoek, founded by French Huguenots over 350 years ago, and widely regarded as the culinary capital of South Africa. The beautiful setting and café lined streets will charm you and a further wine tasting is included at one of the renowned estates in this area. Our final stop is at the town of Paarl, at the foot of a cluster of remarkable granite domes where you do your last wine tasting of the day, before heading to our guesthouse in Franschhoek. Tomorrow we have full day of scenic lookouts interspersed with wine tastings.
La Fontaine GuesthouseTwo nights at La Fontaine Guesthouse.
February 28: Depart
Today we have free with our guides before we need to return to the Cape Town International Airport for departing flights home. Breakfast.

|Multicast Discovery connection
|Fri, 19 Oct 2007 18:10:26 GMT
I am trying to use the multicast discovery protocol and having some trouble with it. I think i have the broker configuration down. Client 1 (Producer) -> Broker 1 <transportConnector uri="tcp://localhost:61616" discoveryUri="multicast://prod1"/> <networkConnector name="producer" uri="multicast://prod1" /> Client 2 (Consumer) -> Broker 2 <transportConnector uri="tcp://localhost:61616" discoveryUri="multicast://cons1"/> <networkConnector name="producer" uri="multicast://cons1" /> But I am not sure how to configure the client side. this is what I have. Client 1 std::string brokerURI = "tcp://localhost:61616" "discovery:multicast://prod1" "&transport.useAsyncSend=true"; ActiveMQConnectionFactory( brokerURI ); Client 2: std::string brokerURI = "tcp://localhost:61616" "discovery:multicast://cons1"; ActiveMQConnectionFactory( brokerURI ); So when I start the brokers, I can see the connection being established between two brokers. But the client 2 never sees any messages produced by cllient 1. I am sure it's the way I am configuring it. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to configure the connection factory while using discovery. If anyone has any idea please let me know. thanks, arpit -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Multicast-Discovery-connection-tf4654948s2354.html#a13300083 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Mum-in -law and Sister - in- law ganging up on you?(83 Posts)
I lost my lovely Mum recently, totally unexpectedly through a heart attack. My Mum was my my main carer for my daughters under 9.I have a job and my Mum helped me to keep the plates from falling. My husband and I both work. On the day of my Mum's funeral my mother-in-law said she would help me with my girls in the school holidays. Neither she nor my SIL (who lives away) have ever had a job at the same time as having children. Any way, my manager is asking me about time off for the Easter holidays. My Mum in law then says that she can't look after her granddaughter because she has to go and look after her daughter's dogs.
My daughter Vs Sil' dogs.
What would u do ?
What with the recent loss of your mother you are not in a very difficult situation, and whilst I'm sorry for your loss it does seem that you're looking for answers that just aren't there or aren't easy.
Childcare with a CM or after school/holidays club looks to be your only solution if your MIL isn't available or willing to help. Maybe sit down with your Dad and assertain whether he feels capable enough to lol after your DD?
And please don't lash out at people who are trying to help you.
Sorry, *look after your DD is what I meant.
I'm sorry you've lost your mum so suddenly, OP. I lost my mum with almost no warning as a child.
But I think you need to recognise that you might not be thinking straight at the moment, and avoid getting yourself into some big argument with your in-laws when you might realise further down the line that the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
Your in-laws don't seem to be "ganging up" on you - your MIL is simply prioritising her daughter's work committments over yours. It's not a question of your children vs SIL's dogs - it's a question of your work needs vs SIL's work needs.
If the discussion at your mum's funeral was just a throwaway comment by your MIL, with no conversation about exact dates, it may well be that your MIL was thinking about the long summer holidays and didn't realise you had assumed she meant all the holidays.
I have to say that your reaction to Worra's perfectly neutral questions has been completely off-kilter, and this does suggest that your thinking process might be knocked out a bit at the moment.
Take a bit of time. Think about things properly, and ask some polite questions about what your MIL understood about your conversation. You may find that she's gone back on her offer, in which case you know you can't rely on her at all. But you may find it's all a miscommunication, in which case you may be able to use her help in the future.
Just a thought, OP, but is English your first language, or are you just upset and mis-typing?
If English isn't your first language, you might be reading things into other people's posts that simply aren't there.
OP, some people aren't there for others when they need help, some literally do let them down on purpose.
It really doesn't matter WHY your ILs aren't rallying round for you, it says more about them than it does you. So what do you do? You pick yourself up, dust yourself down and find a decent Childminder to help you.
Have you had any compassionate leave, could you use holiday, could your H? The best way of finding holiday care for your DD is to look for holiday play schemes, they are much cheaper than a CM, and your DD will have lots of other children to run around with.
Write your MIL and SIL oFf as caring members of your family, they are never going to be the people you need them to be. What does you H think about this, why is HE not arranging things for you, so you don't have to?
OP. You are obviously deeply distressed and my heart goes out to you.
Like many I think there was an understanding (her thinking about the summer hols being most likely).
I think (like anyone who suffers bereavement) you are ANGRY and you are channelling it towards the first source of irritation that you come across that links to your mum.
This is a normal response but you need to recognise it's happening and be kind to yourself. Don't fly off the handle at your in laws. Those of us not in your position can see there is no ganging up etc.
Counselling will help you. Book childcare - there will be childminders with spaces over the holds. Then get your DH to write down dates for the summer hols and broach with your mil now. It's 50% his responsibility too.
I'm afraid yabu OP. Perfectly understandable but your loss does seem to be affecting your judgement. I'm very sorry about your Mother and I sincerely hope that your childcare arrangements get sorted but a scathing attack on non-working Mums is not going to give you the support you need.
Is there a language difficulty here? Worra's original response was supportive as far as I can see.
"If she knew the dates and then decided to dog sit YADNBU"
She is agreeing with you!
I am very sorry for the loss of your mother that is a horrible thing for you.
YANBU for being upset.
I'm sorry your mother has passed away.
I agree with others who said you should find other childcare with no emotional crossover - a childminder, nursery.
My own MIL can be a bit like yours OP. I have lost count of the 'promises' to help with my kids, or promises to come up to visit. Usually 85% of the time she cancels with little or no notice. Now I just don't bother asking, as it isn't worth the stressing.
I can sort if see what upset the OP about Worra's post. She was suggesting that when op's mil made the offer - at her mum's funeral - she should have given her the exact dates and made sure she wrote them down otherwise it is unreasonable to be upset when she makes other plans. It's technically true but I think a bit insensitive and has obviously upset the op. The op is obviously going through a lot and when mil made the offer it maybe seemed like a bit of light at the end of the tunnel but when the first opportunity to take up the offer comes up mil refuses and is seemingly (to the op anyway) prioritising dogs over her own grand daughter.
OP, can you take time off over Easter? It seems like you need a break anyway. Take time off and do something lovely with your daughter.
tbh I think a death of a parent can send your in laws a bit loopy, a bit like when you have a new baby. Change in dynamics. My dad died a few months ago after a long illness effectively releasing my mum from 5 years of being a carer. My mil keeps pumping me for info about what my mum is doing, how she is, is she busy blah blah. I think it's made her a bit insecure that I (and gc) might be spending more time with her now that she has that freedom to leave the house. If your in laws are being strange, I think best to sort out your own childcare, smile through it and don't get into any power struggles.
I read worras post quite differently. To me she was trying to point out that a one off conversation at a funeral ( when everyone is stressed and upset) is not really making a firm plan, and that it was unlikely that exact dates etc were set.
If the op hadn't mentioned it again with a more firm arrangement, then MIL may well have thought that op had made alternative plans.
I'm sorry for your loss OP.
I know you are upset right not but I suspect this is a case of you and MiL making assumptions about each other which aren't true.
I suspect that you were assuming that MiL would pick up what your mum used to do - having your DDs in all the school holidays precisely as you needed. You perhaps didn't realise that having a family member to do this is incredibly fortunate. In most cases where grandparents help out it is more normally for perhaps a few days or a week at a time.
So I suspect that when MiL offered to help she was probably thinking more along the lines of having the girls for some of the days in some of the holidays and that you would come to some agreement between yourselves as to when this was.
If you've not talked other than at the funeral, which was naturally an upsetting time for you I can see where misunderstanding has arisen.
Why not ask your MiL now if she can help over May half term and see what she says?
OP, don't rely on your MIL. She's made her priorities clear. Arrange formal childcare.
Your SIL sounds unhinged. I'm not sure what her text meant - I assume she wants to 'cut you down to size'? What for? Asking your MIL to look after your dd instead of her dogs? Avoid.
So sorry for your loss. It sounds quite recent, so you must be very raw.
Your MIL saying she will 'help you out' probably meant something different to you than it did to her. Maybe she meant she would have them for a few days in the summer when she didn't have other plans and you meant that she would have them every day in every holiday.
You might want her to be more helpful, but she isn't going to be so you need to arrange other childcare and not take it so personally. I wouldn't want to commit to having dgcs every day in the holidays either but I might say 'I'll help you out in the holidays' meaning some of the days, when I can.
Mum helped me to keep the plates from falling.... That's such a lovely thing to say and that's what Mums do...you'll find a way round this OP - don't let it distract from grieving properly for your lovely Mum
I am a bit puzzled by the situation and sorry for your loss, it cannot be easy.
However your SIL wants to 'size you to size'? That sounds like a threat to me and I would not be letting this woman, or anyone related to her near my children personally.
I would just find other childcare arrangements.
mgrg so sorry to hear about your mum, you must feel very lost.
I would also take that message as a threat and would expect DH to support you on it.
I would how ever arrange offical child care for kids, even though it is expensive, i would feel miffed to at dogs coming before children but some people are just like like. Also sounds as if SIL is not very nice so might have pressured MIL.
Big hugs to you (( )))
OP as many others have said, I wasn't having a go at you...I was trying to ascertain the facts from your somewhat vague posts.
I wasn't suggesting you should have produced a list of term dates at you Mother's funeral...but that if your MIL didn't know what those dates were, she couldn't realistically be expected to put everything else on hold - though she could have rang and checked I suppose.
I was going to address your posts about my late Mother and employment choices but it's best not to go there...as I can see you appear to be in a pretty stressed state right now.
As others have suggested, paid childcare seems to be the best option here.
Sorry for your bereavement.
Re your SIL, I agree with the poster who thought "size you down to size" is probably a mis-typing for "cut you down to size"
(very common kind of scribal error where your brain has already leaped ahead to a word that is coming)
Not a physical threat at all imo: I think she just meant that she wants to make you realise your arrangements are no more important than those of other people. "cut down to size" is common parlance for making someone realise their relative (lack of) importance.
And frankly, she might have a point. You sound outraged at the thought that your dd might have to rely on her own parents to make arrangements for her, or that your MIL might prioritise her own dd's ability to work over yours. But as parents you are closest to taking responsibility for your dd, and your MIL might well feel she is closest to taking responsibility for your SIL.
I agree with using a paid childminder.
You and your dh will have to split your holidays to cover childcare too.
You need paid reliable childcare OP. Ad hoc arrangements will drive you and DH up the wall and will not help you be professional at work.
Aaaaand.......no OP.
OP - very sorry for your loss.
It must be putting an extra burden on if you've always been able to just rely on your mum for childcare and not think about it to suddenly have to make plans. The assumption you had is that your MIL would be as reliable as your mum has upset you further because you've never had to do this.
But it's ok, you don't have to rely on your MIL or SIL - what you do now is say "OK" to them saying they can't do it and get on with finding alternatives. How many days a week do you work, full time or not? If parttime, work out if your DH can cover any dates you need to work, and then do you know any other parents who are working who might be interested in a 'childcare swop' over the holidays (you have their DCs on your non-working days, they cover yours).
If you need full time or don't know anyone who could cover any days, your best option is to get a list of local childminders and start calling for who has availablity over the Easter holidays. (book them in now for the summer as well if you can). Look on your local council website - ours has a function where you can put in your post code and they'll list all registered childminders in a certain radius of your house (starting with the physically closest). It's also worth asking any other mum friends if they can recommend anyone.
It's shit you have to do this when dealing with losing your mum too, can your DH take on some of the calling round?
It could well be your MIL has done that thing of saying "if there's anything I can do" without actually meaning it. She's knows she should be saying she'll help out, and saying that at the time was comforting to you, but really hasn't thought of that as an actual commitment. So at least you've got some warning and now know a) not to ask them and b) her offers are more about making her feel good for offering, she doesn't mean it, so you can just smile and say "thanks, but we've got it sorted" without relying on her and then being let down closer to the event.
Oh and just ignore all texts from your SIL, don't rise to them or answer them.
Cut them out completely and don't try to get them to help. Don't even ask.
Your DH will have to use some holiday allowance or parental leave if you can't get paid childminder at short notice.
Also, if your SIL is threatening you, has your DH not had a word with his sister to tell her that it's unacceptable to talk to his wife like that? He should be wading in and stoping that, even if that does involve burning some bridges with his family.

German automobile manufacturer Audi, has plans of launching 10 new models in 2015, to maintain its crown as the leader in the luxury car segment in India.
Audi faces a stiff competition in India by fellow German manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
In spite of fierce competition in this segment, Audi India is sure of double-digit growth this year.
In November this year, Audi had already recorded 10,000 units sales. The company sold 10,003 cars in 2013.
The company recently launched the A3 Cabriolet, a model with a retractable soft top and powered by a 1.8-litre petrol engine, priced at INR 44.75 lakh.
Audi, which currently sells 17 models in India, is planning to launch the R8 LMX and the Audi TT next year. These two models will be part of Audi's 10 car launch plan in India.
Audi is looking to bring in more cars to India from its global lineup, which includes a hatchback as well.
Although Audi is at the throne of luxury car sales in India, fellow German carmaker Mercedes-Benz is narrowing in on the gap at a rapid phase.
Mercedes is also very likely to cross the 10,000 car sales mark this year.

Grocers and Brands Grew Despite Many Challenges in '05: IRI Report
CHICAGO -- Dollar sales of cosumer packaged goods grew just 1.6 percent in 2005, an extraordinarily challenging year marked by a devastating hurricane season and uneven economy. But while industry growth was disappointing, trends across specific channels and categories were encouraging, said Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), a provider of enterprise market solutions for the CPG, retail, and healthcare industries.
CHICAGO -- Dollar sales of cosumer packaged goods grew just 1.6 percent in 2005, an extraordinarily challenging year marked by a devastating hurricane season and uneven economy. But while industry growth was disappointing, trends across specific channels and categories were encouraging, said Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), a provider of enterprise market solutions for the CPG, retail, and healthcare industries.
The firm offered a review of the year in its latest Times & Trends report, "2005 CPG Year in Review: A Remarkable Year of Challenges and Wins."
"Despite weak dollar sales growth, the CPG industry had a remarkable year," said IRI global c.m.o. Janet Eden-Harris. "Perhaps what is most extraordinary about this past year is that many categories, brands and retailers did grow within this challenging environment--largely through innovation."
The report is based analysis of consumer data from IRI InfoScan, IRI MarketInsight for Wal-Mart, and IRI Consumer Network, and highlights CPG trends from 2005.
The drug store channel had an exceptional year, according to the study. With total CPG sales growth at three times the industry average, the channel enjoyed growth across nearly all departments.
The grocery channel grew dollar sales only slightly; however, the increase was enough to maintain an all-outlet share, which is a potential turning point in grocer's long-term battle against share erosion from value channels. The study also reports that select categories, including sports drinks, bottled water, hand and body lotion, and cold/allergy/sinus tablets posted double-digit growth through innovation and alignment with consumer needs.
Across product segments, beverages were the growth leaders in 2005. Sports drinks, bottled waters, coffee, and wine -- which posted a 5.1 percent increase in sales -- led this segment. The healthcare segment benefited from growth in cold/allergy/sinus products, in which new product introductions, including Mucinex and pseudoephedrine-free Sudafed PE, contributed to growth. The long-standing decline across general merchandise categories continued, with the most significant dollar sales declines occurring within photography supplies, batteries, and kitchen storage.
At drug the largest gains occurred among the channel's less-developed food categories, such as frozen, bakery and dairy, which provides further evidence of the channel's evolving role as a convenient food and beverage outlet. Drug stores were also successful in gaining share within core healthcare and beauty/personal care segments.
"It appears as if the drug store channel's heavy focus on neighborhood merchandising, investment in destination departments and efforts to the link the front-end with the pharmacy are paying off," added Eden-Harris.
Top 10 CPG categories posted mixed results during the past year with the largest two, carbonated beverages and milk, experiencing flat sales. Total carbonated beverage demand continued to slide as consumers opted for alternatives, such as bottled water and sports drinks. Diet soft drink sales; however, continued solid growth. Milk dollar sales were impacted by lower price increases in addition to a slight reduction in volume.
Wine and spirits growth continued to negatively impact beer sales, but the category is poised for longer-term growth as the legal drinking age young adult market expands. According to the IRI report, the real stand-out category among the top 10 was frozen foods, with innovative new skillet and crock pot dinners leading the way.
A review of the top 10 growth categories highlights major growth drivers in 2005: health and wellness, enhanced performance, premium products, and price. The perceived benefits of sports drinks, water, and yogurt combined with innovative flavors and packaging propelled these categories onto the top 10 list. Refrigerated salad and coleslaw also benefited from a fresh, healthy positioning, as well as convenient new product offerings.
Channel migration was clearly evident in 2005, but at a slower pace than was seen in prior years. While supercenters accrued the largest gains, the channel appeared to take share from other value channels, including mass and club.
The grocery channel maintained share in 2005, following significant share loss in 2004. Industry efforts to differentiate grocery stores from value channels through new formats, fresh foods, private label, and natural/organic products appear to be resonating with consumers, according to the report.

World Capacity Growth
With the orderbook stretching to 2015, the worldwide cruise fleet will be able to carry some 20 million passengers that year, compared to more than 18 million in 2011, according to estimates by Cruise Industry News.
This year, more than 11 million passengers from North America are forecast, plus up to 6 million from Europe, with the balance made up mainly in South America, Australia and the Asia/Pacific.
Having grown at an average annual rate of more than 5 percent from 2000 to 2010, for the next five years, however, the average annual growth rate slows down to about 2.5 percent, based on existing ship orders. In addition, individual market growth will depend on ship deployment.
Industry growth is driven by capacity and with fewer new ships entering service over the next five-year period and more mobility in terms of deployment, the question is where will the growth come from?
Changing Tides?
More ports seem to be at odds with the industry these days. A local study on the costs and benefits of cruise tourism in Victoria, BC, estimates the benefits to amount to $24 million and the costs to $28 million. Based on the 2009 season, when Victoria received 226 calls, the study said that the pattern for 2010 was the same.
The study is also challenging industry estimates of the economic impact of cruise calls, claiming they are exaggerated, particularly for crew spending and shore excursions.
Windstar Sale
The sale of Windstar Cruises to Whippoorwill Associates is expected to be completed by May 23, although there is an auction component of the 363 bankruptcy sale allowing others to bid and potentially raise the purchase price. Whippoorwill, a financial firm that specializes investing in bankrupt and distressed companies, has agreed to buy Windstar for $40 million, including $30 million that Windstar already owes to the firm, plus $10 million in fresh operating capital, according to Hans Birkholz, president and CEO of Windstar.
"Once we have the balance sheet right-sized to the business, we will invest in our current fleet and look to invest in new ships," Birkholz told Cruise Industry News. "There are plenty of opportunities in the small ship market. We believe there are brand opportunities as everybody else are building bigger ships."

As the year draws to a close, it's important to reflect. And there's no doubt in our mind that it's been an unforgettable year on the fashion front and a surprising one at that.
Trends once considered a fashion faux-pas made an unanticipated return (we're looking at the puffer jacket) and trends once reserved for your unfashionable uncle landed on the runway (we're talking about Christopher Kane's crocs). It was the year luxe athleisure dominated the catwalks and pyjama dressing outside of the bedroom became the norm.
But it was the celebrities who really kept us guessing. From Selena Gomez's style evolution to that red dress donned by Bella Hadid. So in celebration of this year's surprisingly brilliant fashion moments, we chart the 12 best-dressed celebrities of 2016.
Solange Knowles
Not one to fear being out-shined by her elder sister Beyoncé, Solange has well and truly established an identity of her own. And in the meantime, has created her own (highly enviable) aesthetic.
We're talking primary colours, tailored co-ords and origami-inspired garms
Never one to shy away from pushing boundaries, the singer-songwriter favours bold hues over pastels, tailored co-ordinates over mismatched styles and sculptured shapes over the minimal. And we have never desired to imitate an aesthetic so much.
We're talking a newfound desire for colour-block suits, smokey purple eyeshadow and bell-bottom flares. She's well and truly introduced us to the perfect eclectic mix.
Best fashion moment of 2016
The singer-songwriter donned a metallic suit to the CFDA Fashion Fund Gala
Where do we even start? The singer has taken a step back from clashing prints and primary colours in recent months, opting for a more subtle sartorial approach.
For the CFDA Fashion Fund Gala, Solange donned a silver wide-legged suit by cult label, Off-White. Taking inspiration from the album art for 'A Seat At The Table', the singer adorned her hair in silver slides - a look we're seeking to replicate come 2017.
Queen Elizabeth II
She's not only the Queen of England but the queen of style if 2016 is anything to go by. Queen Elizabeth welcomed her 90th year in the most fashionable way possible. Cue colour block suits complete with dainty handbags and heels in identical hues. She's living proof that you truly discover your sartorial identity when you grow up...
Who else do you know that co-ordinates umbrellas to their OOTDs?
Best fashion moment of 2016
It was the outfit that divided opinion. To mark her 90th birthday, the Queen donned lime green co-ords for Trooping the Colour. And the internet went into meltdown, spewing a series of memes we don't wish to feature. Because for us, that outfit was a bold statement. How many mature women transcend the safety of beige? Precisely.
Emma Watson
Renowned for her commitment to the feminist movement, Emma Watson has been one of the most influential women of the year. But it's not merely her conversation that has got us talking. The actress has shown us the art of sustainable dressing.
The actress often favours monochrome
Best fashion moment of 2016

Emma made headlines when she donned a pair of sustainable trainers by French brand, Veja. The cult label is renowned for using socially conscious methods to produce their trainers in Brazil and you heard it here first, they're set to become the next big thing.
Mary-Kate and Ashley
It comes as no surprise that fashion's most prolific twins have made it to the list. But who can deny their influential aesthetic? We're talking oversized layering, floor-skimming skirts and sunnies on a winter's day. Times two.
The twins have managed to maintain their status as cult fashion icons over the years
And this year the twins introduced us to the art of socks and Birkenstocks. Anyone who can make a fashion faux-pas cool deserves to make it to the list. After all, who didn't grow up wanting to be an Olsen twin?
Best fashion moment of 2016
Floor-skimming lengths and head-to-toe black. Nothing says the Olsen twins more.
The Olsen twins made all-black garms a fashion staple but when it comes to the red carpet, they leave some of their iconic style rules at home. For the Met Gala, the duo donned floor-skimming gowns finished with their signature beachy waves and heavy jewellery. Utterly brilliant (and even better times two).
Alexa Chung
It's hardly surprising that Alexa has made it to the list but this year she truly surpassed all sartorial expectations. Come on, did you see the PVC coat she launched as part of her second collaboration with Marks and Spencer? Talk about the most sought-after coat of the season. Alexa has long reigned as the Queen of dungarees, loafers and pinnies
But it was her Prada ensemble that really cemented her status as a fashion icon this year. What's not to admire about a mandarin-collared pyjama style suit finished with plush feathers? Case closed.
Best fashion moment of 2016
Alexa's Prada ensemble is everything we've ever wanted with feathers on top
We've never wanted anything more. A plume of feathers? Check. Mandarin collar? Check. Sorbet hues? Check. Alexa further cemented her status as our style muse in one fell swoop.
Selena Gomez
You may be surprised but listen up. Selena Gomez is 2016's new contender in the style stakes. Through the use of Vetements tracksuits and silky slip dresses, Selena has sartorially smudged away her Disney aesthetic. A frequent red carpet goer, Selena has truly mastered the art of awards dressing.
The Disney alumnus has sartorially progressed this year
From her iconic red dress for the screening of Rudderless to her newfound love of pyjama suits, the actress-turned-singer has become one of our go-to style muses this year.
Best fashion moment of 2016
The singer donned a Prada gown to the American Music Awards
Selena proved red is well and truly her colour after making one of her first appearances following a hiatus from music. The 24-year-old donned a Prada gown finished with Cartier earrings to the American Music Awards.
Olivia Palermo
When it comes to Zara dressing there is always one woman who will show us how it's really done. And we often blame her for our addiction to the Spanish brand. Olivia Palermo has one of the most sought after wardrobes in Britain and the good thing is, it's mainly high street. We've never known another woman don Zara on the red carpet like Olivia does. We've never wanted to take someone shopping more.
She's the only girl we know who can work Zara on the red carpet
Best fashion moment of 2016
Olivia well and truly sparked the animal print trend this autumn/winter
It was the shirt that most probably crashed the Zara website. It most certainly had us ferociously refreshing the homepage, that's for sure. When Olivia stepped out in New York in the iconic shirt, leopard print was confirmed as one of this season's most coveted trends.
Never one to shy from taking risks, Rihanna pulled out all the stops this year and forever kept us guessing. Throughout 2016 she's coveted voluminous puffer jackets, fur embroidered Gucci tracksuits and regained the crown for 'best in athleisure' for a second year running. Nobody sports tracksuit pants with heels like she can.
The singer often opts for luxe tracksuits and bright hues
Best fashion moment of 2016
The singer arrived to the Dior show dressed head-to-toe in the cult brand
Rihanna attended the spring/summer '17 show in Paris wearing none other than head-to-toe Dior. She accessorised the embellished couture dress from the spring/summer collection with lace-up shoes and a miniature bag by the iconic French fashion house.
Kate Middleton
A best-dressed list wouldn't be complete without reigning style icon, Kate Middleton. With the masses seeking to imitate her royal wardrobe, the Duchess of Cambridge continues to spark sell-out pieces.
Kate often opts for one of Princess Diana's favourite designers, Catherine Walker
And it's no wonder, as she seeks sartorial inspiration from none other than the late Princess Diana. Often donning Catherine Walker, a cult brand favoured by Diana, Kate frequently makes the headlines for her royal aesthetic.
Best fashion moment of 2016
The duchess donned the £999 Preen dress twice this year
So good, she bought it twice (in different colours). The Duchess of Cambridge first donned a red dress by Preen during the Canadian Royal Tour. Renowned for her stealthy outfit repeats, Kate then donned the dress a second time around for the Place2Be Awards back in November. This time, in black. And she looked every inch the princess.
Blake Lively
Nobody nails maternity style quite like Blake Lively. This year the actress was expecting her second child with Ryan Reynolds and took the opportunity to bring her fashion 'A' game.
The former Gossip Girl has taken luxe athleisure to a whole new level
From IRL Disney-esque ballgowns to that red jumpsuit, Blake certainly taught us a lesson or two when it comes to red carpet dressing. We'll make sure to put her style rules high on our agenda come 2017.
Best fashion moment of 2016
Blake stunned in Cannes
When Blake Lively landed in Cannes for the 69th Film Festival, we were consistently blown away by her wardrobe. But there was one gown in particular that left us in awe. The actress donned an aqua blue dress by Atelier Versace, finished with a high pony. We can't imagine she'll ever top the iconic red carpet appearance, surely?
Kim Kardashian
A few years back, socialite and reality star Kim Kardashian wouldn't have made it to the best-dressed list. But over the years (and most certainly post-Kanye), Kim has found her fashion feet. A regular on the FROW and with friends including Olivier Rousteing - it's the perfect formula for sartorial success.
Kim undoubtedly developed her fashion identity throughout the post-Kanye era
Like Rihanna, Kim has the ability to surprise us with her fashion choices donning everything from silky trackpants to Perspex thigh-high boots. Though her aesthetic is hard to pin down, Kim has undoubtedly influenced the next generation of street-stylers who don baseball caps, Vetements trackies and Yeezy trainers in the pursuit of luxe athleisure.
Best fashion moment of 2016
Kim tackled three trends in one fell swoop
So Kim's aesthetic may not be considered best-dressed worthy by many, but there is no denying that she has undergone a serious style transformation over the past few years. And for that, she deserves credit. Our favourite look of 2016? At the Givenchy show, Kim demonstrated how to don this year's biggest trends. Underwear as outerwear? Check. A nod to the cold-shoulder? Check. PVC? Erm, yes.
Bella Hadid
One half of the Hadid sisters steals the spot in the best-dressed list after a year of sure-fire looks. And it's all because of her ability to turn what should be considered fashion faux-pas into a trend.
Bella's aesthetic draws inspiration from the '80s with double denim, tinted aviators and PVC
Take double denim for instance. The model dons the Canadian tux like no other. Rose-tinted aviators? She has them perched upon the bridge of her nose most days. And as for PVC, she was wearing the trend long before it even was a trend. Look to Bella for guidance on how to sport athleisure and '80s fabrics this season.
Best fashion moment of 2016
If we had to choose one look from the year, it would have to be the 20-year-old's Dior number. Donning one of Maria Grazia Chiuri's first designs for the house, the model attended the 'Dior: House Of Colour' event back in October. With clip-in bangs and a nineties-esque choker, we've never aimed to replicate a look so much. 10/10.

Phillip Jensen is a prominent Australian clergyman of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, currently the Dean of St. Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney. He is the brother of Peter Jensen, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney. Phillip Jensen has been described as deeply conservative in his Calvinist theology yet radical and iconoclastic in his ministry style.
Phillip Jensen studied theology at Moore Theological College, and won the Hey Sharp prize for coming first in the ThL (Licenciate of Theology), a year after his brother Peter also won it.
University of New South Wales
Phillip became the Anglican Chaplain at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in 1975.
Basing his University ministry around expository preaching, "walk-up evangelism" and Ministry Training, Phillip Jensen and Campus Bible Study revolutionised student ministry in Sydney. The result was a large number of conversions, large student gatherings at UNSW, and the growth of St Matthias from a group of 20-30 in 1977 to well over 1000 by the mid 1990s.
St Matthias
Phillip became Rector of St Matthias, Centennial Park, in 1977.
Ministry Training Strategy
Phillip Jensen's work at UNSW included the creation of the Ministry Training Strategy (MTS) which took willing young men and women and trained them in practical ministry skills, preparing them for a lifetime of ministry, ordained or otherwise. Other initiatives included the establishment of a publishing company - Matthias Media.
It was the strong growth of the MTS strategy in other universities and churches throughout the 1980s and 1990s that saw student numbers at Moore Theological College grow from around 150 in 1985 to over 400 in 2004. Many of these graduates are now Rectors of Anglican Churches in Sydney, and leaders in many evangelical churches throughout Sydney and the world.
St Andrew's Cathedral
In 2003 the Cathedral Chapter of St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney appointed Phillip Jensen as Dean of St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney. Attendance has strongly increased since his appointment, and the cathedral now has many services, both traditional and contemporary.
Jensen authored the popular Two Ways To Live Evangelistic tract, and founded The Briefing, an insightful and sometimes polemical magazine that mixes conservative Evangelical and Calvinistic theology with intellectual rigour. Phillip Jensen has also authiored numerous books and Bible studies on practical Christian living.

Product Description
Cobra Fi2000 PowrPro Black Fuel Controller
An improved version of the original Cobra PowrPro fuel tuner, uses the latest accelerometer enabled software for precise real-time tuning. The tuner uses faster smart chip and accelerometer technology to continuously read the bike's EFI delivery every time the motorcycle accelerates in order to optimize the air/fuel mixture for the best performance. With Cobra's patent-pending Continuously Variable Tuning (CVT)technology, the PowerPro Black makes motorcycle fuel-injection tuning a snap with the option for fine-tuning non-acceleration fuel via Bluetooth technology and a smart phone-based app.
Should you need to adjust your bike's air/fuel ratio outside of the acceleration area, you can do that with your smart device. Simply go to your app store and search for the Power Pro Black app. Simple instructions on the app will guide you through the available tuning options.
Through the PowrPro Black app you will be able to:
- Monitor the injector duty cycle to determine fuel injector performance
- Add fuel for specific engine modifications tuning the low RPM and cruising fuel zones
- Evaluate and monitor how much fuel the unit adds in specific tuning zones with a circular graph as well as light across the bottom of the screen
- Take fuel away for specific tuning requirements
- View RPM in real time
- Simple reset tools allows you to return the unit to its stock settings
Advancements in circuit boards and accelerometers have made it possible to do things today not possible just a few years ago in the art and science of controlling fuel mixture through remote adjustments.
Older so-called auto-tune systems rely on O2 sensors that must be installed in the exhaust to adjust the air/fuel ratio according to a preset map, but varying conditions can render that EFI mapping less than ideal. And regardless of how many dyno runs you perform, you always end up with only one EFI map which may not provide the optimum setting for the way you'll be riding tomorrow, next month or next year.
Unlike other systems, PowrPro Black offers plug-in performance: no bungs, no oxygen sensors, no computer hook-ups or downloads, no sorting through a bewildering array of EFI maps to find one that's just right. And there is no need to run the bike on the dyno to tune or verify tuning settings. Simply plug the PowrPro into your bike's existing wiring harness and immediately enjoy continuously variable tuning as PowrPro Black delivers the optimum fuel mixture instantly and dynamically.

Questions & Answers
Is this the newest Cobra Power Pro that just came out??
By: Mike
Yes, the Cobra PowrPro Black is the latest version of the proven Fi2000 fuel tuning system. This one takes things a step further by allowing the user to adjust fueling with an app right from your smart phone!
By: Staff
Can you use this in addition to a HD Screaming Eagle Race Programmer? Or is it one or the other?
By: Regnar23
It's a one or the other type of deal. You cannot have both items installed on the bike at the same time.
By: Staff
Do i have to make any adjustments to the power pro or it will do it it self, im going to install the Cobra Speedster Swept Exhaust System on my 2015 kawasaki vulcan 900 classic lt, do i need to make any adjustments to the Powerpro black ?
By: Lopez
For the PowrPro Black, you can just install it on your bike and hit the road. You don't need to make any adjustments, even after you install the exhaust system. The device continually measures acceleration and compares that to the ECU signals coming through and adjust fueling to suit. It'll get better as you ride too and you'll notice that the bike responds to throttle input better and engine output will be increased. The more you ride, the better it will get, too.
Of course, should you find that it's not doing what you want in certain situations, you can use the PowrPro Black iOS or Android app to make fueling adjustments that are more to your liking. All of this is explained in the user interface when you open the Cobra PowrPro Black app.
By: Staff
Will this work for a 2015 Honda Phantom?
By: JLee
Yes, the PowrPro Black will fit the 2015 Honda Shadow Phantom. Just select your bike from the fit guide above and we'll get the correct Honda Phantom Power Pro Black on its way to you, guaranteed!
By: Staff
2016 Vaqureo ABS
recently installed true dual exhaust and have significant backfiring on decelleration.
Will this unit correct the problem by simply adjustable fuel air parameters?
Bike currently hesitates at 2500 rpm to 3300 rpm with some improvement from the new exhaust. Factory tech said "it's normal" but I am not happy with that explanation.
By: John
What you're dealing with is actually the result of two separate issues. The backfiring could be the result of a poor seal somewhere on the exhaust system or on the intake side of your bike. You'll want to be sure that the air intake is bolted up to specification from the cylinder head to the airbox itself. Once you've done that, take a look at the exhaust and be sure that everything is assembled straight and all bolts are snug. If you're running the exhaust without baffles installed, try putting them back in as that will contribute to fresh air inversion (sucking air in through the end of the pipes) between exhaust pulses. When that happens, backfiring will commence when you close the throttle.
Furthermore, in the case of Japanese bikes like yours, the PAIR valve (aka charcoal box / smog box) will deliberately introduce fresh air into the exhaust to fire unburned fuel in order to meet emissions regulations. If the PAIR valves located on the cylinder heads get stuck, they just dump fresh air into the exhaust the whole time and will also cause backfiring. Have a look up there to be sure they're working correctly. You may also wish to consider installing some smog block off plates for your bike to mitigate this problem completely.
As for the hesitation you're experiencing, that is almost certainly a fuel delivery problem. The bike is running too lean as a result of the freer-flowing exhaust and it isn't at all unusual when no fueling modifications have been performed with the installation of a full exhaust system. The Cobra PowrPro Black, when properly configured, will certainly solve that problem.
By: Staff
My 02 Road King FLHRI has a 95" kit and an aftermarket O2 sensor added for the current
Fuel control system. What changes will I need to make to run this?
By: CW
Given that your bike has a big-bore kit installed, unfortunately - the PowrPro black wouldn't be suited for the task. Your best bet would be to speak with a tuner you trust so as to determine the proper aftermarket tuning kit for your specific needs. At the moment, all of the aftermarket fuel mapping kits we have are designed to work with stage one modifications: air intake or exhaust system changes. Anything outside of that and you're going to need to put the bike on a dyno in order to realize the best possible benefit of outlier-type modifications.
By: Staff
Does this tuner marry to your bike?
By: OOPS
Cobra's PowrPro Black isn't married to the ECU. It works in real time, constantly updating fuel delivery in order to produce the best possible throttle response and power output within the range that you specify using the Cobra tuning app. It's not a flash tune device like the FP3 from Vance & Hines (which is, in fact, married to the machine its initially set up on). Of course, once you remove the PowrPro Black from your machine, fuel delivery is returned to stock configuration.
By: Staff
Will this controller increase rpm limiter on a Honda fury
By: Mike b
Cobra Fi2000 fuel controllers have no provision for adjusting engine RPM on any motorcycle. To do that, you may wish to have a look at a Honda Fury Dynojet Power Commander V with Ignition Control. The ignition control function is what will allow you to raise the RPM ceiling on your machine. If that's what you're after, then the Dynojet Power Commander V with Ignition Control for the Honda Fury will do the job!
By: Staff
Stock 2008 m109r, want to add bassani exaust. what would be the best fuel controller for this bike?
By: magnum
You're probably looking at the best user-adjustable tuner we have on hand for the M109R. Mind you, it requires the use of an iPhone in order to make any adjustments to the tuner. If you don't have that type of phone, then go with the Suzuki M109R Fi2000R. It's also a very capable tuner, but instead of the iPhone interface, you only need to adjust one of three knobs on the unit itself in order to make fuel delivery changes.
By: Staff
Will this controller fit my 2004 VZ1600 Marauder?
By: Tater
No, Cobra does not produce a PowrPro Black to fit the 2004 Marauder. They do have a standard Fi2000R, which uses the same installation scheme and requires no smartphone to make changes. For such a simple unit, it's actually a really nice tool to have for making fuel delivery adjustments.
By: Staff
Besides throttle response, what other benefits will I receive from a $500 investment in one of these?
By: Guest
When matched with a good, complete Harley-Davidson aftermarket exhaust system, you can expect power gains over the bike in completely stock form. The tuner allows you to add fuel where it's required in order to get the most out of a full exhaust Harley system.

Apple seeks sales ban on twenty older Samsung models
0. phoneArena posted on 27 Dec 2013, 17:38
Apple has filed with the U.S. District Court of San Jose seeking a sales ban on twenty older Samsung devices that are no longer sold in the U.S. Lest you think that this seems like a wasted effort on the part of Apple, the Cupertino based tech titan says that even though Samsung no longer sells these models "in no way diminishes Apple's need for injunctive relief." Apple says that such relief could help it in the future if the need arises...

Jesus Christ is this getting old. Apple reminds of that psychotic ex-girlfriend that just won't leave you alone... Sheesh!!!
How about you change your product to what the world market has obviously shown that it wants, and you wouldn't have to sue crap out of your leading competitor all the time. SMH
4. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
I still don't get Apple. I mean, how hard can it be just to put in a 4.5"+ and Full HD screen and 2gb RAM? If even Chinese upstart companies can do it I'm sure Apple is more than capable.
I'm sure it comes down to profit margins, but in the long run they're going to lose out if they don't bump up these specs.
5. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
4.5" screen + 1080p would slow an iPhone down by A LOT.
Just waiting for them to increase the screen size. Once they do, I'm jumping board.
8. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It wouldn't slow down the A7 much, but it would kill the A6, considering it's GPU is almost identical to the one in the Exynos variant of the GS4, only majorly underclocked.
The screen size was really the only thing keeping me from the 5S, it was just too narrow for me to type comfortably in portrait.
14. stealthd (unregistered)
You do realize the iPads use the same processor and push higher than 1080p on larger than 4.5" screens right?
38. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
With A7, iPad is one of fastest, maybe the fastest tablet on market (if Surface Pro 2 doesn't count)
15. stealthd (unregistered)
Or Samsung just can't stop copying. They can pump out phones faster than Apple can sue them, that's why they want these banned even though they aren't being sold anymore. You don't really look at things from more than one perspective do you?
18. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Lol you should take your own advice.
34. LikeMyself (Posts: 458; Member since: 23 Sep 2013)
Lol!That's why everyone should jump ship to Sony and LG and leave Samsung get all its products and hopefully crappy TouchWiz disappear :)
23. JerryTime (Posts: 468; Member since: 09 Nov 2013)
I don't see Ford suing Chevy, or Coke suing Pepsi every day of the week because their products are unbelievably similar. Make better and more competitive products and you won't have to try and sue any type of innovation into oblivion to try and keep control of the market you are quickky losing your grip on.
Get real.
39. tedkord (Posts: 14120; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
That's because Coke didn't file a patent for, "A beverage or other liquid with fizzy bubbles created by carbon dioxide or other gas." That's the patent Apple would have filed if they got into the soda business, and then works have sued to ban Coke and Pepsi even though they were around before.
And since the US patent office just got even more effed up by going to first to file instead of first to invent, Apple would possibly win.
49. lyndon420 (Posts: 5001; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
I'm guessing the old Samsung phones (that aren't being sold anymore) are outselling any iphone's? Yeah...sounds about right to me :)

What has Apple invented (not patented) to be copied?
21. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Can't even go on a single site without Apple still btchn over patents copyright
48. lyndon420 (Posts: 5001; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
I wish there was a way of banning Apple from existence. Well...I suppose if everyone just stopped buying into them and working with them :) What a glorious world it would be without Apple :)
2. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
"Apple says that such relief could help it in the future if the need arises to "combat" future patent infringement by Samsung."
Well, I guess we can "look forward" to more Samsung vs. Apple in the future.

Apple makes no sense they pay samsung to make the innards of their phones but sue them for having the similar looks on the outside....you know apple would be screwed with out samsungs help and honestly I cant wait till they go bankrupt before 2020
13. stealthd (unregistered)
What wouldn't make sense is for Apple to just let Samsung get away with anything because they're a supplier.
20. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
It doesn't make sense because if Apple can sue Samsung for the outside then anyone should be able go sue apple for the inside. Unless Apple makes round microchips to avoid copying every other chip set.
Samsung should actually try that. Patent the rectangular shape of ram and gpu's and sue Apple. That would be hilarious and a perfect taste of their own bulls**t.

apple sues to get the money back for all the parts they buy off samsung

Can this damn fruit stop suing? What this fruit do is sue, sue and sue. Can this damn fruit focus on their iPhones instead of suing?
I hope Samsung will sue the crap out of this damn fruit.

It's not about not suing, it's about suits possibly being frivolous. They have every rite to, and should sue if it's necessitated. When you're older you'll understand. Now worry about your phone instead of apple.

Don't worry, I understand. They have every right to sue, but their sue is pointless. Samsung didn't infringe Apple's design patents, just look at the Galaxy S3, looks nothing like an iPhone, the Galaxy S2 looks a bit like the iPhone but come on, it's an old phone.
And one more thing, why should I worry about my phone? Xperias have their own classy elegant design, and Japanese takes thing seriously. I don't see the need to worry about my phone or Sony.

Possible side effects to consuming chia seeds include a drop in blood pressure, allergic reaction and an increased risk of prostate cancer, according to Heal With Food. Because chia seeds contain a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids, they can act as a blood thinner, creating a negative interaction for people taking prescription blood thinners or aspirin that can lead to excessive bleeding.Continue Reading
In some cases, people are allergic to chia seeds and consuming them can cause hives, rashes or watery eyes, according to Heal With Food. In rare cases, some people have a severe reaction to chia seeds that causes trouble breathing and swelling of the tongue. This allergy is associated with a mustard allergy. People who are allergic to mustard or other plants in that family should avoid chia seeds. In other people, chia seeds cause gastrointestinal distress due to their high fiber content.
According to WebMD, the high level of alpha-linolenic acid contained in chia seeds has shown an increased risk for the development of prostate cancer in studies. People with an increased risk of prostate cancer should avoid consuming chia seeds. Because there is little research done on the health effects of eating chia while pregnant or breast-feeding, it is recommended to avoid consumption of chia seeds while pregnant or breast-feeding to prevent possible negative effects.Learn more about Side Effects

AbstractThis handbook provides information to residents of the Central United States about the threat of earthquakes in that area, particularly along the New Madrid seismic zone, and explains how to prepare for, survive, and recover from such events. It explains the need for concern about earthquakes for those residents and describes what one can expect during and after an earthquake. Much is known about the threat of earthquakes in the Central United States, including where they are likely to occur and what can be done to reduce losses from future earthquakes, but not enough has been done to prepare for future earthquakes. The handbook describes such preparations that can be taken by individual residents before an earthquake to be safe and protect property.
