Sugar and cancer
'The study, carried out in France, is the first substantial piece of research to find a specific association between sugar and cancer.'
Hopefully, the French study will raise the issue of sugar and cancer. In addition, the tactic of fast food companies to supply fruit juices as a 'healthy' alternative to colas will be seen for what it is; a charade. There's nothing wrong with eating some fruit in season - you're consuming fibre with the fruit sugar, lessening its effect on the body - but drinking fruit juices needs to be seen as akin to drinking alcohol, only without the intoxication.
Keep them ill, keep them scared
Otto Warburg, cancer and the fermentation of sugar
And yet there is a lot of scientific evidence that what we eat and drink has an enormous influence on whether or not we get cancer, and how we can survive it. The excellent documentary 'Forks over Knives' puts forward a thorough case that a diet high in meat or animal protein is strongly linked to heart disease and cancer. Also, the known effectiveness (at beating certain cancers) of the Ketosis Diet, in which the patient switches to a diet almost entirely free of carbohydrates and sugars, shows that cancer and our diet are strongly linked.
The majority of cancers, some 90–95% of cases, are due to genetic mutations from environmental factors. The remaining 5–10% are due to inherited genetics.
"Warburg hypothesised that cancer growth is caused by tumour cells generating energy (as, e.g., adenosine triphosphate / ATP) mainly by anaerobic breakdown of glucose (known as fermentation, or anaerobic respiration). This is in contrast to healthy cells, which mainly generate energy from oxidative breakdown of pyruvate. Pyruvate is an end product of glycolysis, and is oxidised within the mitochondria. According to Warburg, hence, cancer should be interpreted as a mitochondrial dysfunction."
And to quote from the man himself:
Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarised in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.
Nowadays, biochemists regard genetic problems as the cause of cancer, and yet if our bodies do have such a serious genetic predisposition for cancer, why has this not been weeded out through natural selection? A more likely scenario is that our bodies have been developed, over millions of years, to digest small amounts of fresh meat, along with sugars locked up in starches and fibrous plant material. In this situation, they run fine but if they are swamped with excessive amounts of refined, raw sugar and alcoholic drinks (partly and fully fermented sugars), they are in a very unnatural situation. In such a situation, sugar fermentation takes place in their cells and cancers develop. It's worth noting that the appearance of cancers in our body is actually normal. Micro-cancers appear all the time and our immune system gets rid of them on a regular basis. But it is the unstopped development of these micro-cancers into macro-cancers that is unnatural. The presence of sugar fermentation in our cells could be why this happens. Their presence creates an unnatural cellular environment which supports such unnatural cellular activities as cancer development.
After many years of drinking socially (and getting drunk), I cut back because I realised that alcohol is a 'sweet death'. It is a way to lose yourself in a warm but poisonous fog. It would seem, if Warburg is right, that sugar and alcohol may be the 'sweet death' for our bodies too.
Processed red meat - WHO report
Secondly, the problems with preserved meats, discussed in the WHO report, aren't just about the meat itself, or the fat and salt added to it. As the WHO report states, certain organic molecules are created during the high temperature cooking process. In particular, aromatic amines are created. This doesn't sound too scary but I found out, several years ago, that the amines present in preserved meats, such as histamine, cadaverine and putrescence (you can guess why they're called that) can actually alter the mood of a person eating them if that person's digestive system is low on certain key enzymes known as Mono-amine Oxidase Inhibitors or MAO's. If a person is low on these MAO's, the amines in the preserved meats can make that person moody, aggressive, tearful and generally a mess if they eat such meats on a regular basis. To read the full description, check out this earlier blog entry.
There's another problem with foods cooked to a high temperature. They often end up containing significant levels of acrylamides (chemically related to the amines discussed above). Many years ago, a research team in Scandinavia investigated the strange problem of a herd of cows that were showing signs of mental injury. The researchers eventually tracked down the cause of the cows' distress. The cows were drinking from water contaminated by acrylamides leaking from a nearby factory. The researchers followed up on this discovery and discovered that acrylamides can be toxic to the body and brain. Unfortunately, the danger from acrylamides for us doesn't come from living next to a factory. Any food that is browned or turned golden by heating will contain acrylamides. At the high temperates created by roasting and toasting, organic molecules in the food are chemically transformed into acrylamides. Their negative effect on our bodies is multifaceted. As this cancer.gov report states, acrylamides are linked to higher incidents of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and possibly renal cell cancer. In other words, our chips and toast are toxic.
All in all, there's no sense in religiously avoiding everything that might produce acrylamides; a fish and chip supper once a month isn't a death sentence, but the negative effects will accumulate. It's probably a lot like sugar and diabetes. We have to keep the consumption down and make these unhealthy foods a small minority of our diet, or we will eventually suffer the consequences. Greens for breakfast, anyone?
Fever: a magical cancer cure
Read More...
The man's medical records were quite clear. His case was hopeless. In the space of three years, he had had five operations to remove a tumour from his neck. The last was a failure: it was impossible to remove the whole tumour. He would die soon. As if that wasn't bad enough, the poor man then suffered two attacks of erysipelas, a skin infection that produced a lurid red rash and a high fever. But when the fever broke and the man recovered, his tumour had vanished. Seven years later, he was still alive and well. There could be only one explanation: whatever had caused the fever had also destroyed the cancer.
Animal protein in diet
This post is about an article in today's Guardian newspaper that reinforces the idea put forward in those previous articles. The guardian article states that a US study of six-thousand people, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), concluded that:
High levels of dietary animal protein in people under 65 years of age was linked to a fourfold increase in their risk of death from cancer or diabetes, and almost double the risk of dying from any cause over an 18-year period.
This conclusion matches the scientific evidence quoted in the Forks over Knives documentary that a diet that contains more than 5% animal proteins significantly increases the risk of cancer. According to that scientific research, reverting to a diet low in animal protein can reverse the problems caused by the high-animal-protein exposure; the damage can be undone.
I'm hoping very much that Britain's heart disease and cancer charities respond to this mounting evidence and push forward campaigns to encourage people to reduce their animal protein consumption. As the NHANES study reported, a high animal protein diet can be as dangerous to a person's health as smoking.
Diet changes, gut flora and bowel cancer
A few months ago, I wrote a blog article about the excellent Forks over Knives documentary. The documentary made a fascinating and convincing case for the connection between major illnesses and a diet high in animal proteins. As a follow-on from that entry, I thought I'd mention a new article in this week's New Scientist magazine. It reports on some very interesting new research. To quote:
Read More...
Switching to a diet based exclusively on animals or plants triggers rapid changes to the microbes that rule your gut. This knowledge could help fine-tune diets to improve health, as well as reduce the risk of illnesses like inflammatory bowel disease.
Meat-free diet can make your cells younger
The New Scientist magazine last week reported on a study by the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California to see if diet and lifestyle could reduce or revert cell-ageing in 10 men in their early sixties with prostate cancer. They were 'asked to follow a strict healthy-living regime rather than take a course of drugs. They ate a meat-free diet, did exercise and yoga daily and went to weekly group therapies. After five years, the telomeres on a type of white blood cell were 10% longer on average in these men. In contrast, 25 men with the same condition who kept to their usual lifestyles saw the telomeres on these cells shrink by an average of 3% over the same period.' Read More...

Hi Josh,ReplyDelete
I've been listening back through the podcasts, there is some great stuff in there. I really enjoy you and Bob together, quite the team!
I was at the Agile Leadership Network this Tuesday and saw Bob. There was a question I asked him about something you said about unused software - he suggested contacting you. The quote was that 51% (I think) of software goes unused. Wow, what a huge number! Talk about the need to build the right thing!
I am training our leadership team next week in our organization and it's a number I would love to use with them. I was wondering if you had the source for that so I could back it up if asked.
Again, keep up the great discussions. And also, fascinating that Bob is now SAFe certified!
With thanks in advance,
Here's a quick link that talks about a number close to 51%. Not exactly sure what number I used in the podcast... :)ReplyDelete
You'll get some interesting data if you google "unused features".

MWC 15 Special
According an article at the New York Times, Yahoo plans to launch an early version of a new flagship music service this week, in hopes of capturing some of the online music momentum now held by Apple Computer, sources familiar with the plans say.
The service, which sources say is expected to be released today, is built in large part around a monthly subscription plan similar to those now offered by Napster and RealNetworks, allowing customers to download music onto their portable devices.
Like other recent entries from Napster and RealNetworks, Yahoo's service will be based in part on Microsoft's Janus technology (the latest Microsoft DRM used in Windows Media 10 and 10 Mobile for Smartphones and Pocket PCs), which allows music from monthly subscription plans to be transferred onto some compatible MP3 players (called PlayForSure - which is support in parts by Microsoft's Windows Mobile 2003SE and completely support by Windows Mobile 5.0). However, those songs will not work with Apple's iPod, which does not support Microsoft's technology (but its own DRM technology and media codec which is AAC instead of Microsoft's WMA).
Analysts say Yahoo has the potential to make a splash in the market, particularly if it uses the instant messaging link to full advantage. It will face the same hurdle as its predecessors in explaining monthly subscriptions to customers largely familiar with iTunes' 99-cent downloads, however.
Good to see more companies jumps onto the Janus wagon which supports Windows Mobile devices as long as they run Windows Media Player 10 Mobile. On the other hand, these initiatives gives carriers an even harder time to establish their music shops but to be honest - I prefer to have a carrier independent (and in best case device independent) music shop. If only all of them would use one single DRM and media codec standard to make purchased songs interoperable on all the music enabled devices.
UPDATE: According the Detroit Free Press, Yahoo is going to offer unlimited downloads from a library of 1 million songs for 6,99 US$ per month or 60 US$ for an annual subscription. That's a sharp discount from iTunes, Napster and Real Networks, where Napster and Real charge 14.95 US$ per month or just under 180 US$ annually, for similar services while iTunes isn't offering a subscription service yet.
Cheers ~ Arne

One of the projects I was involved in a month ago had several Cisco UCS C460 M1 servers that required a bare metal Windows Server 2008 install so as I began the process of installing the operating system, I also took the opportunity to screenshot the process. With that being said, though there's nothing really special about this post, its main purpose is to demonstrate what the process looks like with the Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility.
I prefer to use the CIMC for the install instead of the console because I usually fire up a few instances for different servers which will allow me to do simultaneous installs:
Mount the Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility ISO:
Reboot the server:
With the Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility mounted, you'll see it boot into the utility:
Accept the EULA as we always do:
As shown in the screenshot below, you can see a brief summary of the server information:
If you proceed to the OS Install menu and attempt to immediately start the installation of the operating system without configuring the hard disks' RAID level, you'll see something like this:
If that's the case, then proceed to configure the disks' RAID by navigating to Server Configuration –> RAID Configuration:
I won't go into too much detail since the screenshots are pretty self explanatory so to summarize, I'm configuring 2 sets of RAID-1 and 1 hotspare:
Now that the virtual disks have been created, we can proceed with the install:
Those who are familiar to HP SmartStart or Dell Server Administrator will see that Cisco's utility is pretty much the same:
As shown in the following screenshot, you'll get the following 4 options for the drivers you want to install:
- From www.cisco.com
- From SCU boot media
- From Network Share
- From USB stick on key
For the purpose of the example, I'm going to leave it at the default which is #2:
What I've noticed is that once the following screen takes a bit of time to process:
You'll notice that the utility will auto select the RAID controller drivers for you and that's because without loading these drivers, Windows won't be able to detect the disk. Although you should try to select all the drivers you'll need for the operating system (i.e. hba, NICs, etc), it's ok to leave them out for now because you can always run this CD within Windows to install the missing drivers:
Once you click next, the drivers will get copied to the server and you'll then be prompted for the Windows CD:
If you're installing the operating system through the CIMC, unmap and remap the proper ISO and continue:
The utility will now copy the required files and then ask for a reboot to install the OS:
Once the server reboots, you'll see the Windows installation begin:
… and we're done.

Month: March 2018
The Spin
Why does tennis continue to infantilize women or make them seem as if they are unable to walk and chew gum at the same time?
Why must we continuously have these discussions about women as if they are not strong enough to withstand any and everything?
Why must we be continually defending women who are professionals in their own right with the power to hire and fire as they please, as if they are unable to make decisions for themselves.
I recently had a discussion on social media regarding how we discuss the bodies of female athletes. I commented that Caroline Dolehide, an aggressive young tennis player either had really big breasts or the tennis kit that she was wearing was so ill fitting as to make her bust seem quite large. Clearly there were other people who had similar views, most of whom did not express their views in the way or in the manner that I did. Many, as they are wont to do focused mainly on the size of her breasts. That was sexist. Commenting on her physique and her fitness level, the ill fitting kit that she was wearing, was in my opinion fair commentary game, but apparently that is not the case in tennis world.
Recently Darren Cahill tweeted that women who take a break from the game to start a family should be afforded the opportunity to retain their ranking when they return, or in essence should not be penalized for starting a family. My question to Mr. Cahill is this, what about the other women who chose to continue their careers and not pause to have a family? Will they not be penalized for losing their ranking when Serena or whomever else returns from maternity leave? How is that fair to those women?
It seems as if it is only in tennis that these conversations happen. Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, a multiple Olympic gold medalist from Jamaica who was crowned Jamaica and the world's Sprint Queen took time away from the sport to start a family. She has just started training again and once she is ready to compete, she will have to go through the same selection process that everyone who wishes to represent Jamaica has to go through. If she fails in qualifying to represent Jamaica then she will have to hope that the selection committee looks at her overall record and appoints her to the team, to the detriment of someone who has posted faster times and who has a better chance of medaling. In that scenario it is not because the selection committee doesn't believe in Shelly-Ann's abilities, but that she didn't meet the threshold to qualify. Chances are if Shelly-Ann ends up in that situation, she will not make the cut to compete for Jamaica.
Serena Williams is playing her very first competitive tournament after being away from the sport for 14 months. In the match that she played against her sister Venus on Monday night, the rust was quite apparent. The rust has been apparent from her very first match. Simona Halep by contrast, the No. 1 player in the world, while she has been frustrated with her game, is hitting a better ball and performing at a higher level than is Serena. Should we then have relegated Simona Halep, a player who reached the final of the first Grand Slam tournament of the year to a lower seeding just because Serena is back? Simona seems to think so, but I would suggest that she is only doing so because of the views held by her coach. Simona's own thought process as it relates to the equal treatment of female athletes is well known to most of us who follow tennis as she has said in no uncertain terms that the men deserve to be paid more than she does. One wonders if that is also the view of her coach.
Serena struggled, as was expected. She faced an opponent who was match tough and whose game, while a bit shaky at times was more nuanced. Half the time in her match against Venus, Serena was left flat and/or wrong footed. There is no doubt in mine or anyone else's mind that Serena will probably get back the No. 1 ranking, but to gift it to her just because she returned from maternity leave is a slap in the face to not only Serena but to all the other women who have worked their asses off to attain a higher ranking.
Serena currently has an ad out that says there are many ways to be a woman. I am going to add that one of the ways in which to be a woman is the ability to be able to figure things out for yourself. Most women will tell you that in order to accomplish some of the greatest things in life they have had to rely on themselves moreso than anyone else. Neither Serena or Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce or any of the countless professional female athletes in the world need anyone, least of all some administrator to give them something that they themselves can earn.
In an effort to be seen as equitable people seem to be adopting a paternalistic approach to the issues that affect female athletes. It needs to stop.

- For other uses, see Garlic (disambiguation).
Garlic is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies 2, and Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West. Any zombie that bites him gets diverted into a different lane. However, the Pharaoh Zombie while in his sarcophagus and mechanical enemies like the Robo-Cone Zombie can eat the Garlic without being diverted into another lane.
In the first game, he is the 37th plant the player will receive and is obtained after beating Level 5-5. In the second game, he is the fourth plant found in Neon Mixtape Tour and is obtained after beating Neon Mixtape Tour - Day 17.
Garlic is based on the plant Allium sativum, commonly known as "garlic," which is a pungent member of the Allium genus (which includes onions, scallions, shallots, leeks, and chives) in the amaryllis family, often used for cooking.
Plants vs. Zombies

Plants vs. Zombies
Garlic can absorb 400 damage per shot, and his appearance changes at 133 and 266 damage per shot before being swallowed at 400 damage per shot. Garlic also has a unique trait where different zombies deal different damage per bite to it.

Garlic can absorb 600 damage per shot, and his appearances changes twice before being swallowed at 600 damage per shot.
Unlike the first game, he has a "stun delay" in which zombies will not be immediately stunned after eating him.
Plants vs. Zombies Online (China only) (Archived content)
Garlic can take 250 damage per shot, and its appearance changes at 100 and 200 damage per shot before being swallowed at 250 damage per shot.

When boosted by Ail-mint, Garlic can absorb an additional 1200 DPS.
Plant Food effect
Plants vs. Zombies 2
When fed Plant Food, Garlic will heal himself and release a noxious gas to all zombies in front of him, making all zombies (except Pharaoh Zombies with their sarcophagi and robot zombies) divert to another lane. After the zombies divert, they will be immobilized for approximately 7.5 seconds before moving again.

Place Garlic in the front of lanes to divert the zombies into other lanes, preferably those with greater defenses or attacks. Garlic only affects zombies that bite them, so they will not stop Zombonis, Catapult Zombies, Bungee Zombies, or Gargantuars, as they do not actually eat the Garlic, so plan accordingly. Also, Garlic will not stop Pogo Zombies or Pole Vaulting Zombies if they still have their equipment, since they will just jump/pole vault over him. Balloon Zombies with balloons will float over any Garlic beneath them without effect.
If a Snorkel Zombie tries to eat a Garlic, it will move into another lane very quickly, but while it's moving, its head will not go underwater for that second. It is a very unlikely chance that you could kill a Snorkel Zombie while he is moving into another lane because it is almost invincible when moving.
Plants vs. Zombies
Garlic is a useful plant on almost any level because with careful use, he can funnel zombies down lanes with greater defenses. They are especially effective on Pool and Fog levels, as zombies have only one other lane to swap to. He is often used in combination with the Gloom-shroom, diverting zombies to the sides of the mushrooms, so that they will be damaged by the mushroom and not be able to attack it. He can also be used so that you do not have to defend as many rows, leaving more room for Sunflowers, Marigolds, etc. behind the Garlic. This is very helpful to get the achievement Sunny Days if you have many defensive plants such as Tall-nut, Pumpkin, etc. It is recommended to get an offensive plant for crowd control, as zombies in such huge crowds will destroy the defensive plants easily within a few bites.
Also, add few defenses into lanes with Garlic that do not hit other rows, for they will not hit the zombies that have bitten the Garlic. However, again, with something like a Gloom-shroom, placing them behind Garlic is a good idea because they will hit the zombies once they move to other rows and the zombies will be unable to attack them. Threepeaters are better used behind Wall-nuts or Tall-nuts to maximize the effect. Using Spikeweed and Spikerock with Garlic is also usually a successful plan, because they can do maximum damage to large groups, especially with Snow Peas or Winter Melons.Another great plan is putting Split Peas with Pumpkins and putting them behind Garlic with a Torchwood at the tile up or down and one space right of the Garlic. The Garlic has to be placed at the first column without any other plants in the row, excluding Spikeweeds and Spikerocks, in order to maximize effects with the Split Pea and Torchwood. The Split Peas will get rid of Pogo Zombies and Pole Vaulting Zombies easily, while Split Peas will still damage the zombies behind them.
Be aware that if you are using adjacent Garlic in different lanes, zombies will not be held up indefinitely; they will still move through to the other side after from three to five bites. Also, use two Garlics in the same lane when dealing with Pole Vaulting Zombies, as they will vault the first one and then encounter the second. Do the same for Pool levels, too, by planting one between rows one to three and another at row four to deal with the Ambush Zombies.
In the Mini-game Seeing Stars, it is helpful to use a Garlic in the middle lane at the beginning, so they will go into lanes where you are using defensive plants.
Keep an eye on the health of your Garlic. You cannot replace damaged Garlic without digging him up, so try to be prepared for when he finally gets eaten, so you can replace him immediately. Garlics should be replaced shortly after their eyes start to water, which means they are almost completely eaten.
In the Last Stand mini-game, Garlic is often used in conjunction with Gloom-shrooms, Pumpkins, Magnet-shrooms and Marigolds to create an effective gold farming strategy.
Be careful though, because placing Garlic in Pumpkins will not divert the zombies. This is because they are not directly eating the Garlic, but the Pumpkin instead.
Garlic can also be used alongside a Plantern on fog levels. Place the Garlic in front of your Planterns just above and below the pool rows and this should clear all of the fog if the Planterns are around the 2nd to 3rd column from where the zombies are coming. Use 2 Garlics on levels with pole vaulting zombies to counter them.
The Garlic should not be used in Survival: Endless as zombies come that can easily bypass Garlic, such as the Zomboni, Catapult zombies, Gargantuars and Giga-gargantuars. Unless you are in the very early flags of Survival Endless, this plant should be of no interest to any Survival Endless player.
Plants vs. Zombies 2
The sequel has been a mixed bag to Garlic. On the plus side, there are more plants that can benefit from Garlic, such as Snapdragon, Cold Snapdragon, Rotobaga, Moonflower and Shadow-shroom combined, and especially Phat Beet and Electric Currant. On the other hand, the ability to either crush or bypass defensive plants has become much more common: every world, especially Ancient Egypt, Far Future, Big Wave Beach, and Neon Mixtape Tour, contains zombies that can crush or bypass plants, or are immune to Garlic, so the previously effective strategy of planting Garlic far away from the mowers is now suicidal. However, this effect can be somewhat neglected by using Plant Food on the Garlic, making him release his noxious breath to push all zombies, even Gargantuars, out of his row and temporarily stun them. This strategy, however, is only reliable if one can generate a continuous supply of Plant Food (either by Power Lily or coins) to use on Garlics. Power Tiles are another option to increase each Plant Food's diverting power. He is also useful in Save Our Seeds levels as he can divert zombies away from endangered plants.
In this game he also faces competition from Sweet Potato, which is more expensive, but does not require being attacked in order to divert enemies and can therefore be hidden behind other defensive plants to act as a supporting plant. As Garlic has a lot more threats in the sequel than in the first game and has less health than before to deal with zombies, it is not ideal to rely on him as your main defensive plant. He also faces competition from Hot Date as he lures zombies but can also kill or heavily damage them with his lane attack.
Avoid using Garlic on Pharaoh Zombies with their sarcophagi or robot zombies as they are immune to Garlic's lane changing ability, allowing them to eat the Garlic fully. Using Plant Food on them with Garlic is also useless since his effect releases gas, which these zombies ignore.
Garlic is made redundant in Frostbite Caves as slider tiles positioned in the lawn move zombies to a different lane.
Garlic is useful in Jurassic Marsh because Garlic can divert the zombies in other line where there are no dinosaurs or vice versa if the dinosaur is charmed. It is advisable to put Garlic in rows without raptors and stegosaurs to prevent the use of their skills. An imitated Garlic is recommended to cover more rows with full dinosaurs.
Keep in mind that Garlic does not work on Pirate Seas - Day 26 or 33. The zombies will just walk on after biting it.

Fill out the Suburban Almanac.
Plants vs. Zombies Wiki has a gallery for Garlic.
- Although he does not appear in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, an image of him can be seen on the Stickerbook's model. This is also true with Sun-shroom and Gloom-shroom.
- In Plants vs. Zombies, it does not have eyebrows. However, it does in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
- Its name in French, Aïe-aïe ail (reads ay-ay-ay), is a rhyming pun, as the two words are homophonic. The word ail means garlic, and 'aïe' is an onomatopoetic word as an exclamation, possibly referring to the noise a Zombie makes when biting the Garlic.
- There's a easter egg in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville where you can summon a giant Garlic in Giddy Park by interacting with a garlic plushie next to Rux.
Specific to Plants vs. Zombies
- Like Tall-nut, he will shed a single tear before he is eaten completely.
- However, unlike Tall Nut, he sheds the tear when he is on his final degrade.
- If a zombie bites a piece of him when the "future" code is entered, it will not pause and make a disgusted face, but he will still make the "bleh" noise.
- He dies after 21 pea shots (from a Peashooter Zombie or Gatling Pea Zombie), meaning a pea is effectively the same as a bite to Garlic.
- On the seed packet, he shows eyebrows. However, when he is planted, he does not have any. He has eyebrows in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars and advertisements.
- He is one of four plants that has a love life mentioned in the Suburban Almanac, with the other three being Repeater, Threepeater, and Cactus.
- In the Nintendo DS version, the zombies will move to different lanes slower than on other versions, and instead of a "bleh," the zombies moan.
- He is one of five plants that will slowly degrade as they are damaged. The others are the Wall-nut, Pumpkin, Tall-nut, and Spikerock.
- Some zombies will not make a disgusted face, or retch when biting him, however they will still move on to a different lane.
- He is the only defensive plant which cannot be aided by Wall-nut First Aid. The other plant that changes appearance showing damage that cannot be aided through Wall-nut First Aid is the Spikerock, mostly because he is not defensive.
- On the iPad version of the game, if a zombie bites him, the zombie's head will move up.
- Although he can withstand more bites from zombies than most plants, he only takes six basketballs thrown by Catapult Zombie before dying, the same as any other plant.
- If a hypnotized zombie tries to eat a zombie that is not hypnotized, and there is a Garlic in the way, the zombie and/or the hypnotized one will be disgusted and move to the other lane.
- He is the only plant that can be eaten but can also be passed by zombies. He is also the only defensive plant that Ladder Zombies do not place their ladder on.
- When a zombie gives him his final bite, the zombie will continue walking in his lane, which means the Garlic only diverts 20 zombies.
- He has two teeth visible, but if he degrades to his second stage (when bitten seven times), only one tooth is seen. None are seen when bitten fourteen times.
- He and Potato Mine are the only plants with two teeth.
- He is the only defensive plant with a fast recharge.
- In the Nintendo DS version of the game, he seems to be angry.
- If a zombie takes a bite of it and almost instantaneously gets hit by butter, the zombie may end up taking a second bite of him.
- Due to the fact that zombies change lanes slowly in the Nintendo DS version, if a zombie dies just after biting him, he may end up falling over between lanes.
- There is a glitch where if a zombie bites him and makes a face and says "bleh" and at the same time the player types the "future" code, the zombie will have shades but will not have his lower jaw. It remains like that even if the player types "future" again and return it to normal until it dies.
- If a Dancing Zombie eats him, existing Backup Dancers stay in their original lanes.
- On the iPad version of the game, Backup Dancers face stretches into an unusual shape after biting him.
- The Almanac entries of Cob Cannon , Garlic, and Spikerock are the only ones where real places are written in (Harvard, New York, the Uni Brüssel and Europe).
- If a zombie bites him in a five-lane level (Day, Night, and Roof), they tend to go up a lane much more often than down a lane, unless it is on either the top or bottom lanes, which is when they will always move down a lane. This has also been tested in I, Zombie (Me Smash!)
- If a Gargantuar smashes a damaged Garlic, the squished Garlic will appear to be in his undamaged sprite. This also happens with Wall-nut, Tall-nut, and Pumpkin.
- There is an audio error were one of the "bleh" noises makes a click sound at the end.
Specific to Plants vs. Zombies 2
- He theoretically still maintains the same health as he did in the first game, but there is a delay in the effect, causing zombies to take more bites.
- Zombies no longer make a disgusted face when biting him. Instead, they freeze and have green gas with them, then change lanes.
- His idle animation is similar to Toadstool's idle animation. His eye movements are similar to Strawburst's eye movements.
- His Almanac entry mentions a myth where garlics are one of a vampire's weaknesses as well as that there are no vampires in PvZ2.
- Unlike the first game, Wall-nut First Aid works on this plant.
- It is the only defensive plant in the game that does not have its toughness stat noted in the Almanac.
- One of his costumes is a reference to SpongeBob SquarePants, being the Glove World hat.
- He now has eyebrows, unlike in the first game.
- He appears to be a bit bigger than in the first game.
- His noxious breath when fed Plant Food is similar to Chili Bean's stunning gas and Stunion's breath.
- All of which cause stunning to zombies.
- A slowed down zombie will move to the area between two lanes and be stunned for a while after his breath is released.
- He was seen jumping in the Neon Mixtape Tour, Side B trailer. This jumping animation was used in the Zen Garden.
- If one looks closely when he jumps out when Dr. Zomboss lands on the ground, he looks like he is in his 1st degrade appearance. But when Dr. Zomboss raises his arm, he looks like that he returns back to normal while smiling.
- In Pirate Seas, zombies who eat him while at the planks never go to the water. Instead, they will go to an adjacent plank. Zombies who haven't entered the lawn can still move to the plankless lane under the effect of boosted Garlic, however.
- His costume slightly moves as he gets degraded, making him the first plant to have their costume move as they're being eaten.
- In Plants vs. Zombies: Official Guide to Protecting Your Brains, Crazy Dave says that Garlic smells "stinky", but in Neon Mixtape Tour - Day 17, he says that he smells "mmm, scrum-dicious".
- He is the only plant to reappear in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes from Neon Mixtape Tour.
Specific to Plants vs. Zombies Online (China only) (Archived content)
- His appearance is based on his design in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.
- His health is now decreased (from 1050 dps to 250).
- He degrades at second bite and then second time at fourth before he gets eaten.
- His sun cost is now 75.
- He has the same idle animation from the first game.
- His recharge is now Mediocre.
- This and Bubble Flower are the only plants in East Sea Dragon Palace that cannot be obtained in Adventure Mode.

One Very Rare 750ml Bottle of the Infamous and Extremely Rare 1964 Vintage of Château La Mission-Haut-Brion. This Rare Bottle has been Rated a Very High 93 Points by Robert M. Parker , of The Wine Advocate Magazine. Château La Mission-Haut-Brion is the Greatest Graves Wine after Haut-Brion and in some Vintages is considered the Superior Wine of the two. La Mission-Haut-Brion is situated just across the road from Haut-Brion in the Commune of Talence in the southern suburbs of Bordeaux. Since 1983, both Properties have been under the same ownership, Domaine Clarence Dillon S.A. La Mission-Haut-Brion's Vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 48%, Merlot 45%, Cabernet Franc 7%) lie on a Large (up to 18 metres deep in places) gravel bank interspersed with clay. The Wine is fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats and then Matured in Oak Barriques (100% new) for 18 months. The Wines of La Mission Haut Brion are Rich, Oaky and Powerful and need at least 10 Years of Bottle Ageing before they should be Broached. Here is The Wine Advocate's Review of this Rare 1964 Vintage , " 93 out of 100 .......... Curiously Overlooked when Great La Missions are discussed. 1964 was another variable year throughout Bordeaux , with the Fall Rains washing out many of the Famous Vineyards , particularly in the Medoc. The 1964 La Mission is a Big , Powerful , Rich , Tannic La Mission , with an Enormous Concentration of Fruit , and Full-Intensity. Spicy , Cedary , Earthy Bouquet . Along with Château Petrus and Cheval-Blanc , it is one of the Three Best Wines of the Vintage. Drink it over the next 25 Years . " --- The Wine Advocate Magazine. This Rare Bottle of La Mission is in Mint Condition and is in Commercial Storage. Thanks for looking.

Viborg Mediaschool, one of the leading specialist colleges in Denmark, has updated its shooting kits with new Vision 10AS pan and tilt heads from Vinten, a Vitec Group brand and global leader in camera supports. The order was won by Hofmann Teknik, the Vinten distributor in Denmark.
Located near Aarhus, the second city in Denmark, the Viborg Mediaschool offers practical opportunities of professional standards to its students, both in the college's own studios and on location. It has long been a user of Vinten heads, and the new Vision 10AS heads replace original Vinten Vision 10 heads at the end of a long life. Vinten launched the Vision AS range at NAB earlier this year, to bring the highest technical performance to every user.
"We met with staff from the school at IBC this year and showed them the new Vision AS family of heads," said Peter Hofmann of Hofmann Teknik. "They particularly appreciated the way that the Vision 10AS head puts all of Vinten's professional functionality, including perfect balance, into a light and practical form for lightweight modern camcorders, and placed their order there and then."
Perfect balance is Vinten's unique technology to ensure that, whatever the tilt angle, the camera will remain precisely in position. On the Vision AS family of heads, which are designed for payloads between 2kg and 14kg, the fast and intuitive counterbalance mechanism means that perfect balance can be quickly set up, and adjusted as additional loads such as lights or prompters are added.

To celebrate the paperback publication of Erebus: The Story of A Ship, Monty Python star and much-loved television globe-trotter Michael Palin announces a brand new one-man stage show.
In the first part of the show, Palin brings to life the thrilling story of HMS Erebus, the tough little ship that took on the Antarctic and the Arctic in the 1840s, and which was the subject of his latest bestselling book. His richly illustrated talk conveys the triumph and tragedy of the ship's short and doomed life, and what it was about it that made him so keen to tell its story.
In the second half, Michael tells his own life story, including how his three favourite subjects at school (Geography, History and Comedy) have shaped his life, from 'Monty Python' to 'Ripping Yarns' and the many television travel series that have taken him all around the world, from the North Pole to North Korea.
With previously unseen footage and previously untold stories, Michael shows how comedy and adventure have been natural bedfellows during a rich and diverse career.

Too often, writers don't understand that headlines written for the Web are totally different than those written for newspapers or magazines.
With Web headlines, you have to get straight to the point and, at the same time, draw in the reader.
One of the best headlines I've seen in quite a long time (outside of pretty much any post at the king of Web writing, CopyBlogger) comes from Jeffrey Strain, a fellow personal finance blogger at Personal Finance Advice.
I Fly Free & Get Paid To Have Sex.
Wow. I'm not quite sure what else to say.
Honestly, I had no idea what this post was about when I saw the headline in my RSS reader, but I was definitely interested in reading it.
There are a lot of people who don't like credit cards for a variety of reasons. I am not one of those people. In fact, there are a lot of great reasons why I love my credit cards. These are the top five:
I Fly Free: One of the credit cards that I have is an airline affiliated credit card. This means that every time I spend money using that credit card I earn miles toward free tickets. I spend enough to earn a free ticket each year to fly round trip from Japan to the US.
I Get Paid To Have Sex: The other credit card that I have is one that pays me back 5% for every purchase that I make. Since it's probably not appropriate for me to go into the details of my sex life here, it will suffice to say that birth control, sexy lingerie and other sex-related items all go on this credit card. In essence, I'm getting paid back 5% for having sex.
Well, he did indeed back up his headline with actual facts.
Nice going, Jeffrey.

Using Project Management Template for Customers
When Your Customer Wants Everything – Use Project Management Templates
Have you ever noticed how some customers want everything thrown in including the kitchen sink? "Change orders, you have to be kidding! That work is supposed to be included!" Have you heard that before?
As the project manager, when you run into one of these types of customers you have to be extremely careful. You might find yourself way over budget at the end of the project if you aren't.
I Want It My Way
Customers can be demanding. That's a given. So, when you're leading that type of a project, the best you can do is lay out the scope for them using Project Management Templates and manage to it. Oh, and monitor deviations to project scope like a hawk because any deviations can send your project into a tailspin in terms of scope and cost.
Here's what you have to do:
– Hold a formal kickoff. Go through the statement of work (SOW) carefully with the customer. Make sure that there is a mutual understanding on everything. If something seems confusing, deal with it immediately.
– Develop a draft project schedule. Before the kickoff meeting with the customer, put together a draft project schedule that is based primarily off of the SOW. Present it to the customer during kickoff discussions and modify it as needed from these discussions. And get customer agreement on it because this Project Plan will also basically identify your baseline project scope.
– Discuss the change order process. Change orders are necessary when the customer is asking for something that is outside the agreed upon scope of the project. If you have a demanding customer, then it's likely that you'll go through a few change orders during the course of the engagement. Explain your change order process to the customer so they understand up front that they'll be paying for things they want that fall outside the scope of the project. But also be ready for some negotiations because customer generally want what they can get for free and will need convincing to pay extra.
– Document, document, document. Produce regular status reports, route notes from weekly status calls to all participants, and do a thorough job of documenting any scope changes – especially as they pertain to change orders. And above all else, get official signoff agreement from your customer on deliverables and change orders. If the customer doesn't sign it, they aren't likely to pay for it.
Customers are generally great. Most of what I love about Online Project Management centers around customer interaction and management of customer expectations. However, you're bound to run into difficult customers from time to time. They may even warn you up front that they're going to be difficult. I've had that happen. The best thing you can do is make sure you're covered by discussing changes in detail with the customer, show them that you're confident and in control of the project, and always get customer signoff. They may hate to pay extra, but if they see the value, then their satisfaction will remain high.

Saw palmetto did not differ from placebo for benign prostatic hyperplasia in menPDF
ACP J Club. 2006 Jul-Aug;145:12. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-2006-145-1-012
Clinical Impact Ratings
Source Citation
Bent S, Kane C, Shinohara K, et al. Saw palmetto for benign prostatic hyperplasia. N Engl J Med. 2006;354:557-66. [PubMed ID: 16467543]
In men with moderate-to-severe symptoms, is saw palmetto more effective than placebo for benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Design: Randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Allocation: Concealed.*
Blinding: Blinded {patients, health care providers, outcome assessors, data collectors, and data analysts}†.*
Follow-up period: 1 year.
Setting: San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, and the surrounding community, California, USA.
Patients: 225 men > 49 years of age (mean age 63 y, 82% white) with moderate-to-severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia defined by the American Urological Association Symptom Index (AUASI) score ≥ 8, and a peak urine flow rate < 15 mL/s. Exclusion criteria were high risk for urine retention, peak urine flow rate < 4 mL/s, residual volume > 250 mL after voiding, history of prostate cancer, surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral structure, neurogenic bladder, creatinine level > 2 mg/dL (> 176.8 µmol/L), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) > 4 ng/dL, use of medications that affect urination, or severe concomitant disease.
Intervention: Saw palmetto, 320 mg/d (n = 112), or matching placebo (n = 113).
Outcomes: Changes from baseline in AUASI score and maximum urine flow rate. Secondary outcomes were prostate size; residual urine volume after voiding; levels of PSA, creatinine, and testosterone; serious and nonserious adverse events; self-reported side effects; and quality of life. The study had 90% power to detect a 3-point difference between groups on the AUASI score.
Patient follow-up: 216 patients (96%) (intention-to-treat analysis).
Main results
Groups did not differ for changes in AUASI score; maximum urine flow rate; prostate size; residual urine volume after voiding; or levels of PSA, creatinine, and testosterone (Table). Groups did not differ for the occurrence of ≥ 1 serious adverse event (6 vs 11, P = 0.31) or the mean number of nonserious events (0.51 vs 0.47, P = 0.72) adverse events, self-reported side effects, or quality of life.
In men with moderate-to-severe symptoms, saw palmetto was no more effective than placebo for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Enthusiasm for herbal therapies for lower urinary tract symptoms has been prompted by previous reviews concluding that several herbal therapies moderately improved urologic symptoms and flow measures (1). However, our review of one of the most widely used and studied herbal preparations, saw palmetto, emphasized that such results should be viewed with caution (2). The literature on herbal extracts is limited by short study durations, variability in study designs and reporting of outcomes, and use of nonstandardized phytotherapeutic preparations (1).
Therefore, the results by Bent and colleagues are not entirely surprising. Concerns regarding the effectiveness and safety of many herbal products and speculation on why findings from the saw palmetto systematic review differed from those of Bent and colleagues have been reported (3). The Bent trial was well-powered, lasted 52 weeks, and tested a widely used dose (320 mg/d) and standardized preparation of saw palmetto. The participants and investigators were adequately blinded to the distinctive pungent odor of saw palmetto, and validated symptom scale scores showed that groups did not differ for baseline symptom severity, PSA level, prostate size, or urine flow rates. The upcoming CAMUS trial will assess the effectiveness and safety of 320 to 960 mg/d of standardized saw palmetto extracts in men with moderate symptoms (4). Unless CAMUS and other trials provide contradicting evidence, the findings by Bent and colleagues indicate that saw palmetto does not improve symptoms or objective measures of benign prostatic hyperplasia. There is also no evidence that saw palmetto maintains prostate health or prevents development of urinary symptoms or prostate cancer. Its use should not currently be recommended.

Over 3,000 years ago, the Hindu caste system came into place. The idea of the caste system was to bring order based on jobs you could have and a level of importance. The Brahmins are the priests and teachers who are the highest of the caste system. Next are the soldiers and rulers who are known as the Kshatriyas. Vaisyas are merchants and traders. At the bottom of the caste system are the laborers and the servants known as Sudras. Beneath the entire structure are the Dalits. They are known as being less than human and "Untouchables" who are ignored by the rest of society and are usually put into intense slavery.
The Dalits are given the lowest jobs of cleaning toilets and sewers, burning the dead, given hard labor jobs (often with little to no pay), or have no jobs at all. They live in separate settlements which are usually the dirtiest slums with piles of garbage surrounding them because that is how they are perceived as. They cannot use the same wells, cannot worship in temples, and have the highest illiteracy rate in Hindu nations, often denied access to education completely. 10-37% of Dalits can actually read and write. Those who do attend school receive mental abuse from teachers, have to sit in the back of the classrooms, and are the ones who have to clean the toilets in the schools.
According to Human Rights Education Movement of India, When it comes to life in general, because the Dalits are nobodies, only 1% of those who commit crimes against a Dalit are ever convicted. Every hour, two Dalits are assaulted, three Dalit women raped, two Dalits murdered and two Dalit houses burned. They are not even allowed to wear sandals when in the presence of high castes. They are highly segregated and are not even allowed to use some of the main roads, causing them to have to travel further to their jobs by taking differing routes.
Here's one of the worst parts of being a Dalit girl. Girls are already unwanted and looked down on. They are often killed or abandoned at birth. Some are promised to be "married" to the gods, given special beads to mark her as owned by them. By the age of 12 they are expected to become temple prostitutes for the priests to abuse or sell to use however he may desire. These girls are called Devadasi. Read their usual timeline through this info graph.
Feel led to help the Dalits in some way?
The following are organizations that reach out to change the lives of the Dalit people. You can provide jobs for them, help give education, sponsor children and families, give them shoes, provide meals and clothing, and help them find a way to see how important they are. Let's help them know they are indeed humans who deserve freedom and justice.

Hello everyone,
I've got a pretty simple question, hoping someone (anyone) here can answer this if they have done this already. I will be transferring a domain in to my GD account on behalf of a client. I am curious, will GD provide a free email for this, (similar to if I were to have purchased a domain new and get a *free email with that account) to use with the Transferred Domain?
OR - will I have to purchase emails to use with the newly transferred Domain to GD?
I have many domains with GD in my own personal account, and I know they all came with a free email, so I am hoping that in transferring a domain in, GD provides the same, *Free email to use with it.
Hopefully someone has done this and can advise if the ability to create a free single email comes with the Transfer.
DM - Aka Sandi
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @DragonMedia, any domains you have in your GoDaddy account will email forwarding credits that can be used to set up email addresses. This includes domains that were transferred in. If you want to have a full featured mailbox with storage and the ability to send & receive without the need to forward to another address, you would need a separate email plan.
But How/Where do you set up eMail forwarding? There is no link on the Transferred domains like there is with New Registrations>
Hi @BruceKaye
The link below will assist you in setting up email forwarding in your account. Keep in mind that any replies you make to the email you receive at the forwarding address will come from that active email address and not the forwarding address.
Setting Up a Forwarding Email Account: https://www.godaddy.com/help/set-up-a-forwarding-email-account-7598
I would like to transfer my domain from one.com to GoDaddy. I use Wix.com to build my website, so I will be pointing at my GoDaddy domain from the wix site, I presume.
I am interested to find out what options I have for email. Does GoDaddy automatically provide an email service? Can I transfer my email address used with One.com to GoDaddy? I will need to as this is a business email address. Ideally I would like a google mail account. Is it possible to have a GoDaddy hosted domain, a wix built site and a googlemail email account?
Thoughts very welcome please!

I recently traveled to Rome with George and his 'rents for a last minute break. George had just got home from his deployment and it was also his birthday so it was a good excuse for us all to get away together and eat lots of Italian food! We booked to go away for 3 nights and 4 days and stayed in this really cute little Italian hotel. The hotel that we stayed in was literally a 5 minute walk from the city center but was 'officially' in the residential area so it was absolutely perfect. I thought I would share a few snaps with you and a little bit about our trip, (including a few funny/sticky situations we got ourselves into!) so if you're soon off to Roma or just want to see what its really like, then keep awn' reading...
Now unfortunately, on the last night I had my phone stolen which still pains me to this day! so all of these photos I have managed to gather from everyone else's devices. Luckily they still got some great shots but I'm a little trigger happy when it comes to taking photos abroad so I am absolutely gutted I can't share my photos with you!
Whilst we were in Roma, we done quite a lot of sightseeing as you have to. A few things that we did that I would definitely recommend are:
1) The hop-on hop-off open top city bus tour
We went on the red one which I think we had for 48 hours. It stops off at every single touristy sight in Rome which is great! I think they run every 10/15 minutes so if you 'hop-off' at one stop and get bored within 15 minutes (which I doubt you will) then you can 'hop' straight back on again! The tour itself without getting off lasted about 1 hour and a half I think, which I would suggest doing as it helps you to get your bearings of Rome, the distances between sites and realise the destinations you are more interested in exploring than others. I think it was about 20 euros each or maybe a little less. I chucked a goofy hat on and some sunglasses and passed as a 15 year old which meant mine was about half the price! Yes- I am a 22 year old who passes for a 15 year old. Scary.
|Best seats in the house...
2) The Trevi Fountain
One of the things I was most looking forward to seeing. One tip- don't follow your instincts of where it would/should be. The signs point you right into the windy streets and the city center. Believe it or not, the Trevi Fountain is actually located (I think) in the most unsuspecting place ever! Don't forget to take a coin, flip it in and make a wish!
|I totally was having a Lizzie McGuire moment- (all Lizzie fans will understand)
|I love this photo- George and I at the Trevi Fountain
3) The Spanish Steps
Nothing life changing, but a cool pit stop!
|View from the top
4) The Colosseum
One word. Wow. This place is one of the most spine shivering experiences ever. Even if you're not interested in History, just standing in this place is just amazing to think of all history embedded in this place! It's absolutely mind boggling. If you don't know too much about the history of the Colosseum, as boring as it may sound, definitely do some reading into it before you arrive! (or don't, there's lots of information boards). You have to go! (Tips for the Colosseum at the end of this post)
|Inside the Colosseum
|Taking in the Colosseum
|Walking distance from the Colosseum
5) Vatican City
I'm not very proud to admit that my knowledge of the Vatican went about as far as the movies. After asking a lot of questions, eye hawking for the Pope and making my own print of some sort of tapestry, I am now knowledgeable of the history of the Vatican. Go! It's a must. Interesting, religious, breathtaking and pretty darn cool. Brownie points if you can guess the Popes name!
|The Vatican
|Made a print of our own scriptures! (At the Vatican-sadly they smudged...)
My Top Tips for Roma!
All restaurants are expensive unless you go into the residential area, which is located just across the Ponte Cavor Bridge. The most beautiful rustic Italian restaurants we went to with great prices were the ones off the beaten path. The restaurant called 'Splendor' that you will probably see advertised everywhere is amazing. We went twice and that goes against all of my rules when travelling!- never eat at the same restaurant twice! It is located just across the 'Ponte Cavor' in the residential area (which is the road adjacent to where we stayed and is an absolutely stunning area!) and has some of the best Italian food, wine and prices we experienced whilst there!
|At a tasty restaurant off the beaten track- having a cold beer and little dance-along!
You're looking at around 10-15 euros for a drink in most places. Prepare to splash the cash.
Tourist Attractions
Don't be fooled by the small looking queue outside the Colosseum. It's not small, it is very long and you will be there a long time. Note: They definitely do not let you squeeze through the barrier to go to the toilet. (I tried several times, much to my dismay, each time was a very dominant Italian no). Grab your tickets early! There are lots of people selling queue jumping tickets by the queue so grab em' while you can! The general admission tickets are really good value for money, but I can't quite advise you on the skip-the-queue tickets. But let me tell you- if you need the toilet, the price shouldn't matter!
P.s- the queue to the only I repeat only women's toilets in the Colosseum once you have got through the barrier, is just as long as queuing to get into the Colosseum. I had to do the most un-classiest thing ever and run into the men's toilets to unload my bladder! I must say the man washing his hands looked extremely confused when he saw me come out of the toilet! All I can say is thank goodness there were cubicles or it may even of had to been a urinal! no. just kidding. I think I would of rather wet myself!
It's dirty, so take some hand sanitizer. Unless your not an OCD germ freak like me then maybe skip this step.
Like all cities, its full of thugs. Be careful of the little children running around close to you, sadly these are the most common thieves. Apparently. Also, don't underestimate thieves and don't be naive. My phone was stolen out of my bag, at a really nice restaurant (La Vie- annoyingly their food was amazing) hanging on my chair, underneath my coat. Swift little buggers!
The city is really busy and buzzy at nighttime which is so lovely! The Italians usually have dinner around 9pm ish so restaurants are more likely to be busy at this time of night. Definitely make sure you go out at nighttime even if it is for a leisurely stroll once the sun has set. A lot of the tourist attractions look beautiful when they are lit up and make for a pretty nice family photo!
So if you haven't already figured most of this blog post is about food- my last tip is food. Eat. Eat. Eat. Italy is the best place to try all the best pizzas and pasta! It's making my mouth water thinking about it! And if your'e a wine gal like me, you can't beat a nice cold glass of Sauvignon.
One final tip
If you're looking to go for just the sightseeing, and want to spend minimal amount possible, our hotel was called Hotel St Angelo and it was absolutely perfect. A pretty place in a pretty area to rest your head. Maybe give 'Happy Hour' a miss though, I'm not quite sure its name did it justice. We spent 3 nights and four days there, but you'll get all the sites done in two/three days easily. Oh and maybe pass on the breakfast, the cafe opposite does a mean croissant and English Breakfast tea!
I hope you found this helpful! Let me know if you are planning on going to Rome, or have been and want to share your experiences with me! Until next time...
Ciao! x

I got to meet gold medalist Jamie Anderson, the first woman to win in the new event of slopestyle snowboarding.
She and Sage Kotsenburg, who won in the men's portion of the same event, are on top of the world. They will always have the distinction of being the first ones to win gold in this new Olympic sport.
They put it on the map this weekend here in Sochi. They both let me hold the gold, which is heavier than I thought it would be. It's said to have meteor rock inside it.
Anderson is so easygoing and down-to-earth even when she's coming down off her Winter Olympic high.

Pints Pub: A food & drink anchor in Denver's ever-changing Golden Triangle (Eat Local)
Denver has no shortage of sandwich shops or watering holes, but it's relatively light on the lived-in variety — the kind that reek of history, both literally and figuratively.
While Pints Pub is barely 20 years old, the Golden Triangle mainstay offers both a remarkable consistency and an attention to detail that more than makes up for its not-so-historical lifespan.
The oaky interior of the authentic English-style public house proudly boasts a world-class selection of over 250 scotches, as well as a mouth-watering variety of artisan, cask-conditioned ales (I highly recommend the rich but quaffable Phonebox Red Ale and Airedale Pale Ale).
But given its proximity to downtown's cultural and civic institutions — about a block from the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Public Library, Denver Police headquarters and others — it's also a favored lunch destination.
