Austin is a beautiful city Authentic Larry Warford Jersey , alive with music, shops, people and entertainment. If you are looking for something fun and interesting to do with a decidedly city feel, there is no better place, no better metropolis. But if you are looking for something less urban and a little more . . . woodsy Authentic P.J. Williams Jersey , is Austin still the location for you? It can be. You just have to know where to look.

The best place to start is the Barton Creek Greenbelt. The Barton Creek Greenbelt is a 7.9-mile hiking trail on 809 acres located within the city limits of Austin. Open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, the park offers visitors views of sheer cliff walls, lush vegetation and small water reservoirs (where many will happily swim). During the spring, when the creek is running, the sound of rushing water joins the view for a truly blissful experience.

For hikers Authentic Andrus Peat Jersey , the most convenient access point is the Loop 360 access, which will take you right onto the trail in about the middle of the walk, so whichever way you turn you?ll have a decent hike ahead of you. However, there are other accesses: Zilker Access is at Town Lake, and just a few steps away from the Barton Creek swimming pool Authentic Sheldon Rankins Jersey , a natural pool that is over 1,000 feet long; Twin Falls is on the other side of the Loop 360 Access, and as its name implies usually has a little more running water than Zilker or the Loop; Spy Glass Access and Gus Fruh Access are other convenient points and are situated between Zilker and the Loop.

Wherever you enter, you?re sure to have a great hike, but don?t think that?s all you can do. Bikes are allowed on the paths Authentic Trey Hendrickson Jersey , too (although no motorized vehicles), and if you?re interested in climbing, there are more than enough walls throughout the park. In fact, it?s rare that day doesn?t seem various Austinites grabbing their gear and journeying to Barton Creek for an afternoon climb. Now, if you?re new to climbing Authentic Alex Anzalone Jersey , it?s important that you take all the correct gear and choose wisely the wall you mount. Maggy?s Wall is the easiest with routes from 5.7 to 5.11, while the NewGreat Wall has routes from 5.9 to 5.13. Gus Fruh essentially matches the NewGreat Wall with routes ranging from 5.8 to 5.12. You must use your own gear on all walls, but don?t feel you need to get carried away with what you purchase. A 40-meter rope should do the trick, but to be on the safe side, a 50 would be ideal.

If you?re looking to camp Authentic Marcus Williams Jersey , look elsewhere. The park is not open to campers, nor does it allow dogs off-leash. This ensures that the park stays as garbage free as possible (thanks to no overnight visitors) and as peaceful as possible (thanks to no free-wheeling puppies). Other rules and regulations apply, but are the standard for all natural parks within the country - don?t litter, don?t destroy the wildlife and don?t take away from the experience for others. Barton Creek Greenbelt is a rarity in cities - it is a natural oasis amidst an urban setting.

A Japanese court ruled Friday that Samsung could seek minimal damages from Apple for patent infringement, with both sides claiming victory in the tech titans’ latest legal skirmish over the design of their smartphones.


Japan’s Intellectual Property High Court ruled that Samsung could claim 9.96 million yen from its U.S. arch-rival for use of Samsung’s data transmission technology Authentic Ryan Ramczyk Jersey , found to have been used in Apple’s iPhone 4 and iPad 2.


The ruling amended a lower court decision in February last year that Samsung had failed to negotiate properly with Apple over the use of the technology.


But the high court said on Friday that Samsung can claim damages from Apple “within what amounts to patent license fees” for the two products, while rejecting the South Korean firm’s demand for an injunction that would prevent the manufacture and sale of some of Apple’s smartphones.


Both of the companies—who are involved in a long-running global patents war, with each accusing the other of stealing aspects of their smartphone designs—welcomed the ruling.


“We welcome today’s ruling, which grants Samsung Electronics the right to seek damages for Apple’s infringement of our standard-essential patent, which relates to the iPhone 4 and the iPad 2 Ken Crawley Jersey ,” Samsung Electronics said in a statement.


“We will continue to take the measures necessary to protect our intellectual property rights.”


Apple Japan said that the damages awarded to Samsung in this case were “in line with what we’ve always believed was fair”, while welcoming the court’s decision to reject the injunction against it.


“We applaud the court for standing up to Samsung and defending the integrity of the international patent system,” the company said.
