Since Videogum first began, not a day has gone by without an email from a concerned tipster wondering whether or not Gwyneth Paltrow likes Spain. Most of the emails are frantically written and in ALL CAPS. Messages such as "DOES GWYNATH ENJOY TRAVELING IN SPAIN? PLEASE HELP!" Or, "WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS WHETHER OR NOT GWYNETH PALTROW HAS ENJOYED THE SPANICH CULTURE SINCE SHE WAS CHILD!!!1!!". Well, I have some GREAT NEWS, there is a new interview with her, and it is all about this important topic! It is titled "Gwyneth Paltrow Says Spain Changed Her Life," because of course that's what it is titled. From the AP:
NEW YORK – Gwyneth Paltrow speaks almost perfect Spanish — and she does it with an Iberian accent.
The Oscar-winning actress says she traveled to Spain as a teenager, fell in love with the country, and embraces the culture to the point that she visits at least once a year and makes sure her young children, Apple and Moses, also speak the language.
"When I was 15, I went to a small town outside Talavera de la Reina and I had the most wonderful experience. It really changed my life," Paltrow said in fluent Spanish during a recent interview.
Paltrow said Spain "became a second home."
Phew! That is a load off. It's going to be a lot easier to sleep at night. Although something is weird about this interview. Gwyneth doesn't seem to make any of her trademark tone-deaf comments belying her self-satisfaction and condescending world view. Oh wait, yes she does:
"It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it's from 500 B.C., it's incredible," she said.
"Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more. They aren't running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don't always have their Blackberries on."
Paltrow remains close to the family she lived with in Spain, calling them "my Spanish mother" and "my brothers" from Spain. Her success as an actress, she says, hasn't impressed them.
Yeah, SPAIN DOES SEEM TO HAVE A HISTORY. And the buildings are YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS OLD. Jeez, talking to her must be like talking to an Encyclopedia of Knowledge. STOP PROFESSOR, MY BRAIN CAN ONLY ACCEPT 80GB OF FACTS AT A TIME!
Also, it's weird that her Spanish family isn't impressed with her success as an actress. I know that a European Region DVD of Duets is available.
In any case, more great news you guys:
Paltrow recently launched a Spanish-language version of her Web site, GOOP.com.
El perfecto!

That is literally exactly what every college sophomore who studies abroad in Europe says when they come back to America. Like, "Um, stop offering me Franzia, I've BEEN TO ITALY."
I'd like to introduce her to my 100 year old brownstone. It ain't 500BC, but it's a little older than 17 years.
She thinks old construction was built in 1991? A car, maybe, but American buildings?

First, no one calls it Iberian accent, it's Castellano to all those who live in Spain. Guess what, Portugal is also in the Iberian Peninsula and they don't speak Spanish with any accent. Second, old houses in the East Coast are 100+ years old. No one lives in 2500 old buildings in Spain. Maybe from the Middle ages (1400 CE or AD depending on which one you use), but the idea that there are all these buildings around that are pre-Roman is stupid. I've only went there twice and I know more than this woman who goes every year? Gwyneth Paltrow = and should be forced to learn more about Spain before ever being allowed to speak about it again.

for sure, gwyneth is the worst. but take heart, because for every awful person out there, for every gwenyth paltrow, mcg, and seth macfarland, there is a great person to keep the balance. that's life.
you, gabe, are the best.
The problem really is having Gwyneth eroding Spain's reputation. We appreciated the first time she came over to promote Seven and she spoke a great spanish. It was like a novelty, every other celebrity but Kirk Douglas or Martin Sheen (iberoamericans after all) were ignorant Spainwise.
I guess, somehow, it is our fault for encouraging her on thinking we actually care. Blame us.

Hi I am Anisha,
From Bangalore
I believe in Romancing The India-Pakistan Border
'We can change this thinking'
I have friends telling me 'Stay away from the Pakistanis in HKU (Hong Kong University). Don't get too close'. This stereotypical thought process that so many people have and young minds believe in baffles me. It is very unfortunate, that young people who have the power to eventually change the world don't have the facts right and have a very tinted view. I have personally interacted with Pakistanis who are probably some of the best people I've spoken to. If Romancing The Border and Aman ki Asha can grow, we can change this thinking. Make a difference. I hope to contribute in a small way. Whatever it takes. Indians NEED to understand that all Pakistanis are NOT terrorists or are in any way harming us.
Those who harbour negative thoughts about our friends across the border need to realise that we were once living together, and it was a great time for us. People who think that Pakistanis are in any way bad for the Indian society need to be more open. Pakistanis have a rich culture and a great heritage, just like Indians. We are in no way different!
I hope that someday, the majority of the populations of these two countries will believe in Romancing the Indo-Pak border!
Become a Peace Maker today!
To participate in 'Testimonials', a collaboration between Aman ki Asha and Romancing The Border, please email your views on India-Pakistan peace (a brief write-up, including your location), and a nice picture to: [email protected]

In the mountain roads leading up to and down from Jerome, Arizona, we find the AJ-V8 at its most delightful between 3500 and 4500 rpm. The intuitive paddle controls make it easy to keep the revs in the pleasure zone. Jaguar claims the adaptive, six-speed ZF box, which has normal and sport modes, is the fastest shifter in the business. Who knows? There's so much horsepower out there nowadays that, while the new XK certainly feels fast enough, it's not what you'd call brutally fast. For that, we await the upcoming XKR.
Innovative use of aluminum has proven a defining asset for Jaguar, a unifying engineering theme that's arrived just in time to imbue the marque with renewed credibility and substance. If we are to be honest, Jaguar had been coasting on the technology front for some time. The J-gate shifter of 1987 wasn't a very good idea to start with, but as a defining technological centerpiece for a company that claimed greatness, it didn't age well. The J-gate, incidentally, is no more, replaced in the new XK by the aforementioned paddles and a conventional shift gate for the new automatic. It's a small thing, but somehow neatly symbolic of the darker periods of the past that Jaguar would prefer to leave behind.
Yet on the eve of this delectable aluminum range-topper's arrival comes word that Jaguar's ambitious lineup for an all-aluminum fighting force has been scratched. Aluminum-bodied replacements for the X-type and the S-type have been canceled in favor of minor redesigns. This means the S-type will retain the lardy underpinnings and related chassis liabilities it shares with the soon-to-be-euthanized Lincoln LS.
As a halo car, as an example of what a Jaguar must do to remain special, that leaves the XK to succeed.
The battle faced by Jaguar today has at least one thing in common with what Britain confronted in 1940: failing means falling to mighty German competitors and their Japanese co-horts. To the victor go the spoils.

1 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year -- at the time of the going out of the messengers -- that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah -- David is abiding in Jerusalem -- and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down. | 1 In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, Joab led out the armed forces. He laid waste the land of the Ammonites and went to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and left it in ruins. |

Fresh Natural Grown Astragalus Powder 1 oz |
No reviews yet. Be the first. |
Improving Your Immunity with Astragalus. Known for helping to boost the body's immunity and to fight viruses.
Astragalus is a traditional Chinese herb that is used to treat many problems in the body. But it is especially known for helping to boost the body. immunity and to fight viruses, some of the toughest germs around.
Viral infections, such as the common cold, viral pneumonia, and viral bronchitis are especially difficult for modern medicine to treat. There really is no cure for a virus from pharmaceutical companies. That's because a virus attaches itself to healthy cells in the body and takes them over. In order to kill the virus, you have to kill the cell too.
However astragalus works naturally to help prevent viral infections and can even help to fight them to an extent. It helps to produce a chemical called interferon in the body. This chemical actually works to interfere with the life cycle of a virus and kill it before it takes over.
Astragalus may be a very good herb for helping people with immune suppression to help improve immunity. It can help boost white blood cells that are dwindling because of other illnesses or congenital conditions.
You should be particularly mindful of keeping it in supply during the winter months when germs tend to spread rapidly and leave people with runny noses and sore throats. It only takes a moment to sprinkle some powder on your morning meal and prevent illness from knocking on your door.
All Herbs used are cultivated on our Farm as well as the fiber is provided by the peaceful Alpacas, Llamas & Angora Goats that share our lives with us here at the Farm

BHOPAL: Political parties on Friday burnt effigies, protested against hike in diesel price and limiting subsidy to six LPG cylinders in a year.
The Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) Mahila Morcha demonstrated by staging a funeral procession of the cylinders at Peer Gate in old Bhopal.
Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) activists burnt effigies of the Union government at the Jinsi crossing protesting the hike. Pramod Prdhan, member of the party, said while the central government provides tax cuts to corporate houses every year, subsidies for common man were being removed ruthlessly.
Communist Party of India (CPI) also burnt effigies of the price hike of diesel at the Bharat Talkies crossing on Friday evening. Condemning the move, they demanded rollback in the hike and that one LPG cylinder be provided to families every month.
Similarly, semi government employees federation MP also demanded that 12 cylinders be provided to families in a year.
Condemning the move. MP Mehnat Kash Mazdoor Morcha in a press release said price hike would mean an additional expense of Rs 10,000 in a year for a family. Also, Rs 2,000 would have to be spent by an average family yearly for the LPG cylinders, which would not be reimbursed by the government. Hence, the move should be rolled back.

Which of These Apple Patents Will Ever See the Light of Day?
- Friday March 29, 2013
The patent office publishes oodles of Apple patent applications each week. It also grants a ton of them, allowing Apple to protect its IP against competitors. Whether it actually uses any of that IP in its products is another matter entirely.

PassMark BurnInTest™ is a software tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance, reliability and stability.
Update Tool Summary HERE
JAutomate is a Visual GUI Testing tool that is completely technology independent. It can automate any type of application that has a graphical user interface on any platform. JAutomate may actually visually see where to click and what to verify on screen, just like a human tester. This makes it possible to record and playback any application that has a user interface on any operating system. The JAutomate editor has recording and playback capabilities that makes it really easy to create test scripts without programming skills.
qTrace is designed to be used mainly by software testers. But it does not only help save the time spent by software testers alone. The clarity of its bug reports increases the effectiveness and efficiency of team communications, which results in the time saving for software developers and team leads who investigate, fix, and manage bugs. Thus, qTrace users may overlook its benefits if they evaluate the tool with only software testers.
FEST is a collection of open source APIs that aim at simplifying software testing. It is composed of various modules. All of them can be used with TestNG or JUnit. Swing GUI Testing provides a simple and intuitive API for functional testing of Swing user interfaces, resulting in tests that are compact, easy to write, and read like a specification. Tests written using FEST-Swing are also robust. FEST simulates actual user gestures at the operating system level, ensuring that the application will behave correctly in front of the user. It also provides a reliable mechanism for GUI component lookup.
Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS and Android platforms. Native apps are those written using the iOS or Android SDKs. Mobile web apps are web apps accessed using a mobile browser. Hybrid apps have a wrapper around a "webview" -- a native control that enables interaction with web content. Projects like Phonegap, make it easy to build apps using web technologies that are then bundled into a native wrapper, creating a hybrid app.Appium is "cross-platform": it allows to write tests against multiple platforms (iOS, Android), using the same API. This enables code reuse between iOS and Android testsuites.
Test case management and QA is about Coordination and Visibility. PractiTest allows you to Manage all the Requirements, Tests, Issues and Reporting in one simple software testing solution. Get all the information you need in one integrated test case management software solution.Real value from all the information. A Test Case Management tool to help you manage your work and your team.
Testomato is a SaaS product which allows to test websites for common bugs and errors and to alert the site owner via email of any issues that arise. It monitors a website and warns you whenever an automated test breaks. Through its integration with PagerDuty, a failed test can be used to trigger an incident within PagerDuty. PagerDuty can then alert the appropriate technician via SMS, phone, email or iOS/Android push.
WebLOAD is a web and mobile load testing tool from Radview software that tests for performance and scalability but also for verifiability (validating the correctness of return results). Test scripts are written in Javascript (with COM/Java object integration), and the tool supports multiple protocols for testing all tiers of an app such as web (REST/HTTP with Ajax support), SOAP/XML, and other protocols callable from within scripts such as FTP, SMTP etc. for large-scale enterprise testing. Radview claims that WebLOAD is deployed at over 3500 customers worldwide, helping companies verify the performance of their applications.
Some QA leaders have found that their collected data doesn't always effectively address the questions they have. This may occur for a variety of reasons, but a likely culprit is a lack of context. Testing metrics should not be considered in a vacuum. To get the best results from these assets, QA management must consider numerous measurements and the implications they offer as an entire unit.
SeLite (Selenium+SQLite) enables automated database-driven navigation of web applications. It serves for testing of web applications, and for other purposes, such as web-based administration or data mining/manipulation. It keeps isolated test data. It improves productivity of Selenium IDE by allowing tests to be expressive, structured, configurable and reusable. That helps your test scripts to be more maintainable and shareable.
WinAutomation is an automation tool that helps to automate any repetitive task on your computer. WinAutomation's Macro Recorder sets the computer on autopilot. It auto-fills thousands of web forms and extracts all the data needed from any website. File operations, database manipulation, spreadsheet handling, email parsing and desktop management can be automated and executed, on key-press.
TestBench is a test data management and verification solution that addresses the validation of all database effects and the creation of cut down, representative test data to reduce test times and data footprints. Data confidentiality is addressed and the unique user-managed data roll-back capability reduces environment downtime, improving testing productivity and accuracy. TestBench integrates with other testing solutions from Original Software accessible to both users and testers to ensure you retain 'total application quality'.
Loadster is a cloud-hybrid solution for distributed load testing of web applications, web services, and static websites from either side of the firewall. Records test scripts in an ordinary web browser and tweak them in the graphical script editor. Then, build test scenarios to simulate hundreds or even thousands of concurrent virtual users executing the scripts. Run the test and watch the live dashboard to see how the application is performing. Once finished, export the results to an HTML report with graphs and tables. This helps to benchmark the application's performance, find problem areas, and validate the application is production-ready.
The Axe platform introduces a new class of test automation technology which simplifies test automation tasks, delivering fast results, easy maintenance and quicker return on investment. Providing a simple spreadsheet like interface for non-technical testers, backed up by Code and documentation generation technology, Axe does away with the need to build costly frameworks and standardises your automation approach across the Enterprise. Fully customisable and extensible for any test automation requirement.
Automation Anywhere is software designed to automate virtually any computer-based process with ease. No-programming-required interface makes it possible for anyone in an organization to quickly and reliably automate tasks of any complexity, including application integration, IT processes, data extraction and migration. It is available in Standard, Premier, Small Business, and Enterprise editions. The tool capabilities includes: Task to EXE, Job scheduler, Drag-and-drop task editor, Workflow and process mapping tools, Built-in Windows, web, and task recorders, Single-click web data extraction capabilities, and more.
We are pleased to announce the release of an updated plugin for SpiraTest,SpiraTeam and RemoteLaunch that integrates with NeoLoad from Neotys and provides enhanced load testing integration and SLA reporting.
About the NeoLoad Integration
Neotys NeoLoad is a performance and load testing system that lets you record application performance by a number of 'virtual users' and measure the performance against specified Service Level Agreement (SLA) metrics for the application. When you use NeoLoad with SpiraTest you can report back pass/fail/caution by comparing the actual results against the specified SLA metrics.
What Has Changed
eggPlant is TestPlant's GUI automation and software testing product. This black-box driven test tool does not interact with the underlying code, eggPlant is ideal for GUI test automation and black-box testing of any application including those that can cause problems for other tools such as: Flash,. Java, HTML, .Net, Silverlight. eggPlant is used for the entire testing process, from authoring scripts to evaluating results. EggPlant is installed on one computer per license. From there, you can author scripts and run them against any other computer. EggPlant uses Virtual Network Computing (VNC) to "look at" the SUT and send mouse and keyboard commands to it.

Bauer Hockey Classic: Special teams key in Merrimack win
Thursday, Merrimack and Goffstown got to work on special teams — whether they wanted to or not.
The tournament continues Friday with the following schedule: Hanover vs. Manchester Memorial at 2 p.m., Concord vs. Bedford at 4 p.m., Trinity vs. Goffstown at 6 p.m. and Merrimack vs. Manchester Central at 8 p.m. Pool play continues Saturday and the tournament finishes up on Sunday with the consolation game at 5:30 p.m. and championship at 7:30 p.m.
Goffstown had a golden opportunity to tie the game with just over five minutes remaining when Ian Gately was pulled down on a shorthanded breakaway and awarded a penalty shot. Gately went for a backhander, but Brewster slid across for a right pad save on the penalty shot to preserve the lead.
Merrimack added an insurance goal at 10:43, scoring on the power play. Tomahawks sophomore Tyler Brewster had the puck come right to his tape on the doorstep when Goffstown goalie Colin Holt couldn't poke it clear. Brewster snapped a shot over Holt's shoulder for the capper.
Hanover 3, Concord 1: The tournament began with a tight contest between Division I schools. Hanover scored the only goal of the first period, getting a tally from Jonathan Goff at 6:11 orf the first frame.
Trinity 8, Central 3: Mitch Myers, Brian Madden and Drew Merrick each had two goals for the Pioneers. Myers and Merrick added two assists.
Tim Tetreault, Patrick Barry and Jon Mathieu had goals for Central.
Neil McCarthy made 20 saves in the Trinity net. Ian Beliveau stopped 28 shots for Central.
Bedford 4, Memorial 2: Patrick Gagliardi and Harrison Voloshin scored third-period goals to break a 2-2 deadlock and give Bedford the win.
Chris Viola and Mike Dee scored for Bedford.

Best Julie Heckman Poems
When the seashore cries I feel your passion soft and filled with dreams. Your joy drowns me drunk with laughter, never have I heard one with such amusement that roots me throughout the day and evening seas. You have filled me with the luxury of your soft brown eyes which keep me reading them till twilight, they are sweet and vulnerable. Your generous heart hold the hands of many who are grieving or in unrest. You are pure and a vast delight each day.

While the G3-6500 is a good computer, with a two-gigabyte hard drive and 233-megahertz processing speed, it's nothing mind-boggling, says Kunkel. "Dillard has no better computers than any other school," she says. "If they wanted a real kicking computer, they should get the G3-333, which has a 333-megahertz processor, one of the fastest."
To recent Emerging Tech graduate Shawn Farmer, the most useful thing about the magnet wasn't the classroom experience but the chance to intern at area high-tech companies that maintain partnerships with the program. After graduating Farmer got a job with one of those companies, Motorola, and now serves as a mentor for the next crop of Dillard students.
School board member Bob Parks promises that things will be getting better at Dillard as a districtwide process called "retrofitting" gears up. Retrofitting is designed to redress the inequities between older schools, such as Dillard, that have languished over the years as the district has directed most of its budget into building new schools in the western parts of the county. At Dillard this will mean an influx of as much as $40 million, he said.
But all this new money won't necessarily mean that Emerging Tech students get the newest equipment available. It simply means they'll get more of the same types of computers that can be found in every school in the district.
To advocates like Eggelletion, that's not enough. "Dillard is supposed to be the magnet high-technology program," he says. "It's not supposed to be the same as other schools in this regard; it's supposed to be far superior, so that it serves as a drawing card that makes kids want to come to this high school."
To Noland the answer is fairly clear: The district should give her the flexibility to ensure that Emerging Tech students are first in line for new hardware and software. That could mean experimenting with leasing arrangements, shopping outside the "approved" list, or creating a "pilot program" in which her students would be charged with evaluating hardware and software the district is considering purchasing.
Don't look for any of those ideas to see the light of day, says Joseph Kirkman, director of educational technology services for the Broward School District. For one thing, "I already have a professional staff that evaluates technology," he says. Moreover, "in order for leasing to be a viable alternative, you have to have a product that will still have a residual value at the end of the lease. When you're talking about computers, there is no useful life at the end of the lease."
Kirkman has another kind of solution in mind. "If you used left-brain logic, you might not think you wanted a technological program at Dillard at all," he says. Especially given that the trend has been to consolidate high-tech education at adult vocational centers such as McFatter Vocational in Davie or Sheridan Vocational in Hollywood. "If you look at the name 'Emerging Technology,' this was a name somebody picked out ten years ago," Kirkman says. "I'm not sure that's right anymore. Maybe we should change it."

Paul Hogarth: As Gavin Newsom runs for Lieutenant Governor, he would be wise to make the passage of Proposition 25 a central part of his campaign – which ends the "two-thirds rule" for passing a budget. Because there is no better poster child for how Sacramento's dysfunction has thrown the state off a cliff than Abel Maldonado – Newsom's Republican opponent.

Unless we change our policies, "securing our borders" will continue to be another catchy phrase used by politicians without real results.

When Does Border-First Become Border-Only?
Seth Hoy: While President Obama and Gov. Brewer agreed that "federal inaction on a comprehensive immigration overhaul is unacceptable," she has done nothing to substantiate that notion. Meanwhile, Gov. Brewer admits that crime is down in Arizona (as well as other border towns), even though she has repeatedly claimed that her state is "under siege" from border crime
Friday Feedback: Enforce Immigration Policy
Friday Feedback: Let's stop being so naïve about how we're used by those who want to increase their political and economic power. It's in our best interests and it's even better for our immigrant populations if we enforce immigration policy, not just ignore the lawbreakers until the right wing can use it as a wedge issue.
Bald Pols: To Pay or Not Toupee
Michael Sigman: It's tough to be a politician and a member of what Larry David calls "the bald community" in America, particularly when your shoulders also carry the burden of taking our country back. On last week's Real Time with Bill Maher, one of the host's New Rules was, "If Rand Paul is a true libertarian, he has to free his toupee."
Judging the Judges 2010
What in the Sam Hill Is Wrong with Arizona?
David A. Love: I don't know what it is exactly about Arizona, but I do know that the state needs to be boycotted like a Montgomery bus. That state must realize that you cannot treat any group of people as lesser than the rest, nor can you disrespect the country's largest minority group and expect to emerge unscathed. There must be a price to pay this time, and what better place to start than with the Arizona economy? When an Arizona lawmaker wants to boycott his own state, you know how bad it is.
At Long Last, Obama's Going Bush
Robert Illes: The tea baggers had finally encroached on, and engulfed, the mainstream of the Grand Old Party. As John McCain cringed the other day in Arizona, the running mate he made famous, Sarah Palin was re-filling her 15 minutes of fame card. (McCain cannot stop making the same deal with the devil he made that put her on the ticket in the first place) She gave her "ich bin ein Tea Partyer" spiel… dragging the desperate old maverick along with her. He made no mention of his promise of no cooperation with the Democrats for the rest of the year – perhaps because he had already fulfilled that promise in the first part of the year.

Sabotage hits New Forest sportive with drawing pins spread on road, signs ripped down and go-slow driving
Organisers of Wiggle New Forest Spring Sportive condemn 'vigilante' actions
Previous News
Next News
It has emerged that attempts were made to sabotage the Wiggle New Forest Spring Sportive this weekend, with in excess of 1,000 signs vandalised, drawing pins scattered on the road and motorists driving slowly to form a kind of rolling road block, reports the Southern Daily Echo. The event has been the subject of vociferous opposition from some locals.
The incidents took place on Saturday, the first of two planned days of riding, although as we reported yesterday, the second day was cancelled due to heavy rain causing the field that hosted the event headquarters in Brockenhurst to become waterlogged.
The Southern Daily Echo says that while event marshals swept drawing pins from the road at Boldre, some of the near 2,000 riders taking part on Saturday still suffered punctures. Earlier, organisers had also had to replace signs that had been defaced or torn down.
Martin Barden from the organisers, UK Cycling Events, confirmed that no-one was injured, but said that he was "appalled" at the attempted sabotaging of the event, which he said included cars being driven slowly to block riders.
"A small minority of people have taken to vigilante lengths to stop the events," he said. "Their behaviour is unacceptable."
He added that the saboteurs "have tried to ruin the day for everyone and tried to endanger cyclists.
"Luckily that hasn't happened, due to sheer luck, but the attempt to injure a cyclist has been there.
"I think it is appalling. It's all been reported to the police.
"It is a very small-minded type of attitude. If we hadn't been on top of it, it could have caused serious harm."
However, he said that most participants had been unaware of the issues, that most locals had given a welcome to riders in the event, now in its fifth year, and that his company kept numbers low so as to minimise impact on the area.
"We could have had 10,000 people here but we reduced the figures. We did it consciously to be considerate to the local residents. The same courtesy has not been extended the other way, in some parts. "
Ian Wild, chairman of Boldre Parish Council, described attempts to sabotage the event as "reprehensible."
He said: "It could have caused accidents and could have potentially been very serious. Anyone who cycled over the tacks could have been injured. If someone had done that, that's reprehensible."
Much of the opposition to the event, and similar mass rides in the area, surrounds the perceived danger posed by cyclists to local livestock, including horses; however, it is motor vehicles that are responsible for the death of around 70 New Forest Ponies each year, according to the New Forest National Park Authority.
While many locals, whether in the New Forest or elsewhere, welcome sportives which also bring money into the local economy, attempts to sabotage such events do happen, although they are rare; Saturday's incidents are reminiscent of similar incidents at the Etape Caledonia in previous years.

It's amazing how some people try to wreck it for many,
I was lucky to do the full Ronde Van Vlaanderen cyclo, two weeks back, it was professionally run, people were cheering you on, and the police stopped traffic to let cyclists through sections that could've been dangerous.
Whats up with the animosity in the UK towards cyclists, some of the most successful sporting representatives of your country are cyclists, shouldn't they be more angry at the national football team who haven't won anything worth mentioning in decades?

Anita Sibley (aka Anita Gresham-Hale), who runs the Vizzit New Forest website has stired this all up with the local media. (mods: she has put her name to the campaign in the papers, this info is not secret, already in the public domain)
Her claims of "carnage", "lycra clad lemmings" and "what if" have all be unproven. she has claimed fire engines wont be able to get access... but the fire services are cool with the event. But what she has achieved is vandalism and serious road safety issues with tacks being thrown around the forest... which is amazing as she is a horse rider, and no doubt has dogs too. Kids in plymsoles, runners, wildlife, dogs etc etc... a vicous act with intent to harm.
And it gets better...
By day she promotes tourism, 13.5 million NF visitors a year, and even advertises cycling business on her website (Burley cycle hire, and cycle experience... you guys should review who you give money to). Its wrong to take money from NF business and then get the NF portrayed on a national level as a backward criminal BIMBY hell hole. Local traders would have no doubt welcomed the trade on an otherwise wet and quiet weekend.
She has publicised signs claiming 6000 speeding cyclists, despite having all the correct facts (less than 1800 per day).
and now it gets even better...
.... Her twitter account shows that she has taken part in charity cycling events around the NF!!!!! WTF

I can fix this easily , all 2000 riders do the course in a big line in their cars That way we protect the horses, see a bit of countryside and ensure that we are safe in our little tin boxes. As to not cause too many problems suggest that the speed be kept to a safe 14-15mph. We can call it an Auto-Sportive, bikes must be on a rack on the back or roof rack. It may block the roads a bit so suggest we all keep in single file.

Living and working in the New Forest, we are not all nimby dinlos down here. The people I know don't have a problem, in fact we like cycling taking place for the secondary spend, it's keeping people fit and healthy and any hold ups are no worse than old people driving Honda Jazz automatics, ponies, horse boxes, grockles, walkers etc etc You accept it living here. Locals driving are the best at killing animals, not mamils.
Smaller scale, but there are events like the infamous Big Bike Bash that take place in the Forest every August which are loved by locals and visitors alike, so cycling events can and do work.
Don't be put off by a vocal well connected anti-cycling minority, we are not all knobs and don't approve of what they are trying to do as much as everyone else.
ps - I was there on Saturday and escaped the car park field just in time by the sounds of it

Right. So:
1. Riding bikes on forest roads isn't permitted in case cyclists collide with livestock - something which has yet to be recorded as taking place.
2. It's ok to drive vehicles (presumably too quickly) in the forest, despite the fact that this leads to around 70 deaths a year of animals.
3. The ban on hunting with animals should be repealed, making it ok to deliberately kill the animals, just not with a bike.
Sound like a bunch of nutters that just don't want anything that doesn't benefit them directly. (I suspect that pub/shop/restaurant owners etc are quite happy with it)
It would be _really_ interesting to see the opinion breakdown by occupation.
Last night I would have considered trading a very loud baby for a really nice bike.

Steel tacks? They're going to be more of a danger to wildlife than cyclists.
No local would do that. It's more likely to be the work of a passing petrol head.

Of course, all this local issue has caused problems with actually running races in the Forest. According to local contacts, there are no road races between April - September except a couple of very low key evening events with tiny 40 fields. Police apparantly would prefer not to have RRs, due to all events being seen as "races". In honesty, a few of the riders take that attitude as well, but not very many. All it means is that a region has effectively stopped racing in one of the nicer parts of their area, as they need a full permission and want to act responsibly. Something not quite right here!

Interested to read about the posters in local pubs and comments on Friday night about tacks. Do these go unchallenged?
It seems to me that the people who resort to such criminal action must believe they have the support of a "silent majority". Unfortunately, because of their silence, one can't know one way or the other. If the majority of locals want such events to happen, why not tear down the inflammatory propaganda, or speak up against idiotic acts like blocking the road and spreading tacks?
If a majority of locals do, in fact, see such events as a benefit to the local area, they need to make themselves heard and make it clear to the NIMBY nutters that they're in fact a very small, very backwards-thinking minority. Sadly, in this country it appears that a general change of attitude will have to be driven from the bottom up, given the generous exposure that is still given to anti-cycling prejudice in newspapers and TV.
Or are the criminals right in thinking they do represent majority opinion?

TGhe MP, Julian Lewis, Graham Ferris, and Anita (pick a name), really need to take a long hard look at themselves and the antipathy they have started. These things have a habit of rebounding. The idiots spreading tacks are clearly too dim to realise the lasting damage they will do to livestock, who will possibly end up with infested foot injuries and if accidentally ingested may cause serious internal injuries and even a very painful death. Then of course there is the litter. Talk about fouling your own nest!
I hope that the majority of the decent and sensible voters of the area are ashamed of their "representatives" (who only voice their own minority prejudices, it would appear) and act appropriately when election time comes around.
That is a message those who would hold perceived power understand.

There just isn't this fuss over marathons so it's definitely just an anti cyclist 'get off my country land as you're hindering my progress to the paper shop/ garden centre / pub.'
Critical mass with cycling is fast approaching however and the minority of motorists who feel they own the road will lose the battle in the end. It's the none sense and even deaths along the way that are so depressing.
Silly me. You're probably right....

My parents live in the New Forest and I spend a lot of time down there riding roads and the allowed tracks.
My Dad, who has just come back to cycling in his mid 60's after years of driving through the Forest to and from work, wrote this to the Sway News in response to a letter from a local NIMBY. It shows that the debate rages even among the locals.
Comment on attack on NF Wiggle Spring Cycle Event in March Sway News
I am a pedestrian, a cyclist and a motorist and can sympathise to a certain extent with Ms Hale's concerns. I would however like to try and balance the argument.
It is agreed that there will be a large number of cyclists and as with any group of people there will be some who are less than considerate but this is only twice a year unlike the 365 days of the year that we have to put up with inconsiderate motorists racing through the forest to the detriment of other road users, not to mention the animals that get killed or badly injured on a daily basis, 18 so far this year according to the New Forest Post. How many animals have been killed by cyclists this year?
Sad though it is, the fact that one cyclist has died in a tragic accident this year is hardly an argument for taking these Wiggle cyclists off the road. If you were to advance that argument then you are clearly making a case for taking cars off the road.
Cyclists are subject to the Rules of the Highway Code as well as the motorist and, like the motorist, if they are
caught breaking the law or riding dangerously, are fair game for the law enforcers, if they have nothing better to
As for "lycra clad" lemmings, most people who take part in recreational activity wear clothes appropriate to that activity. Cyclists are no different. "Lemmings"? – hikers, marathon runners, jockeys, race car drivers etc all follow the same path to reach their goal.
Before trying to plug this "dangerous loop hole", the seriously dangerous loop hole of inconsiderate, foolish and dangerous motorists should be plugged first. Perhaps the reduced speed limits being imposed for the Wiggle weekend should become permanent for the benefit of all.

One of the reasons I love doing sportives in France and Belgium, even the smaller ones, is that they are big local events.When I did L'Ardechoise a few years ago most of the villages along the route were covered in decorations, cheering locals and fantastic food stops with local produce. And that's 14,000 cyclists IIRC.
I am very outraged to hear about these goings on... I am willing to go on patrol next year for the few days before the event, even though I won't be riding due to fear of being mown down.
'Safety in numbers' has always seemed a mindless platitude as regards cycling, in my opinion. Bikes were regarded as proper vehicles in the UK 20 years ago and cycle touring/time trialling in the New Forest was an absolute pleasure, with no ill-feeling at all. This is all very sad to see...

I did the NFS in fall of 2012. Within 15 minutes of cycling we came upon a group of 20-30 horseriders within a narrow road area. We all singled out and slowed down to a crawl as it was that narrow, with high banked sides and no room to move.
There were a number of near accidents as cyclists skidded to a halt around me. I ran into my friend's bike and nearly came off. This wasn't due to sheer weight of cyclists but to the nasty aggressive nature of the horse crowd. They were aggressive, moving toward us, having the horses rear up and making it very difficult to move at all. They finally passed but the looks and aggression was unmistakable.
I suggest boycotting the entire area to see how they like it.

Idiots. I have a number of events, bike, running, tri and welcome any activity that brings people to the area, to respect and appreciate the countryside I live in, and bring some trade to local business.
The tools who tried to wreck this event are so short sighted. I won't be visiting the new forest any time soon, screw them.

"Much of the opposition to the event, and similar mass rides in the area, surrounds the perceived danger posed by cyclists to local livestock, including horses"
Speaking as one who used to live - and commute by bike - in the New Forest for two decades (And my father for 6), this is the purest cobblers.
The New Forest was a good cycling area until the tw*ts moved from London to the New Forest, tore down the cosy houses and built massive SteroidHouses with 'F*ck you, I'm loaded!' garages and driveways where once there had been trees and bushes.
As someone who knew the Foresters, I can say that cyclists did nothing to disturb wildlife - unlike the cars.
As always, motorists demand the right to screw things up for everyone and then blame others for what they're doing. When people get into cars, they become spoiled children - just as the adverts promise.
As an erstwhile New Forest Resident,I'd like to make a public plea - the New Forest was a lot safer and nicer when there were less cars and when the motorists drove as if they were part of a Community.
Now, there are very few cyclists there because of the speeding traffic that hurtles round corners on small lanes without slowing. There are pretend 'cyclists' on bikes hired for the afternoon with cycle helmets (Because cycling isn't transport - it's an 'Extreme Sport') and sticking to the very few designated paths in the forest, away from the roads. None of these amateur cyclists venture onto the roads where it's 'Too dangerous'.
Is it these tourist cyclists that are 'to blame' for disturbing wildlife?
If so, I might tend to agree as the density of 'theme park' cyclists is much like the Longleat Safari Park. There's not enough forest to go round. We need more forest - or, more practically, we DON'T need a population increase.
If anyone is concerned at depletion of the Forest and its wildlife (And they should be - it's declining fast) might I suggest that the Forestry Commission cease their recent policy of chopping down acres of forest to build access roads and 'Tourist Villages' "In the forest" to "Enhance revenue".
There is a word for "Houses built in the Forest". The word is: Village, Town or City. If you'd like to watch TV and luxuriate in your bath in your 'Forest house', I'd suggest somewhere like St Johns Wood or Forest Gate - those names tell you what the places were before people built there to 'enjoy the sylvan ambiance'.
What the New Forest does desperately need is a Cycling Campaign - particularly to instigate a cycle lane in Lyndhurst and along the Soton-Bournmouth road. This would massively improve the quality of life for everyone in the area.
This has BEEN the beginning of that much-needed campaign.
Thank you, everyone who took part!!

Bjbeau has it right.
The Horsy Crowd always did look down on the rest. Partly because they really ARE much higher than anyone else and mostly because they tend to be those sort of people.
The only people they'd talk to in any civil tone of voice would be other people on horses. Very Victorian.
That was the Good Old Days. Nowadays, people on horses probably don't even know how to look after the things. People who work in stables used to be ordinary Forest kids and adults. Nowadays you pretty much have to takeout a mortgage and know the 'right people' to get a sniff of a haybale and they are 'lower' than many who hire the horses.
The folk who hire horses are more often the Nouveau Riche who made their pile in London/Wherever and now ride horses, not for the love of it, but because of the Status. These people ONLY ride horses to look down on people and behave accordingly.
They're scared of mud too - never mind horeshit.
And - yes - they're dangerous riders.
Avoid those hooves.

Sadly the New Forest is like many lovely parts of the UK; populated by wealthy city dwelling second-homers.
'Why should we share what we've worked hard for!' I hear them say. You all know the type I mean; Selfish, small-minded, ill-spirited tw@ts.
These village communities are no longer functioning normally because the second-homers want the place for themselves. The genuine locals often feel oppressed, after an influx of 'outsiders' who buy their houses and so make it hard for local kids to stick around as they grow up. It signals the death knell of the community and this behaviour is symptomatic of these fearful feelings.
The loss of community in parts of the New Forest means the culprits will remain anonymous. When locals knew each other well the culprits would be identified and the problem dealt with. It's not that the culprit is likely to be a second-homer or a stereotypical teenage troublemaker, it could be the little old lady who walks her dog and never bothers anyone, the point is as these communities change for the worse the things that bind us together diminish.
We all know that Cycle events like this should be a cause for celebration and joy and a reason for communities to come together. God knows we need cheering up at the moment after such a miserable winter and the dire economy. Hopefully, the villagers of the New Forest will make their feelings known to those in their community who feel that isolation is their only answer and persuade them otherwise.
These sorts of ASBs occur on major pro events too so we shouldn't be surprised. I'm not a religious man but turning the other cheek is my advice. Rise above it and show them by our good humour that we will not be deterred. It will really piss off the culprit if we show them next year that we will carry on regardless.

"This is one of those 'go to" recipes that everyone needs! It's simple and tasty and I even make it simpler. I brown the beef and add a 28 oz can of La Choy Chop Suey vegetables instead of adding mushrooms, celery, and onion. It's easy and it's good. What more would anyone need?"
"There rolls were a hit for Thanksgiving! I followed the recipe exactly, except I rolled my dough into about 15 balls. I first made them the night before, but I had to make more after everyone starting eating them and didn't leave enough for Thanksgiving dinner."
"Wow! This is really good! I used a large potato, 2 stalks of celery, two carrots, and a small onion. My sautee time was closer to a half an hour, and I cooked my chicken in 3 cups of chicken broth and a bay leaf. I then strained the broth and used it in the recipe. I shaped one pie crust to fit over my 13 x 9 pan. Excellent!"
"Excellent and easy marinara! That is just what I was looking for. I added fresh basil, because I had some. This recipe went right into the cookbook."
"These burritos need way more seasoning-they were bland. My wife said they were "fine". I thought they were blah."
"I'm happy to be the first reviewer of this excellent recipe! We really liked the flavor, and the little bit of added spice the red pepper adds. My DW does not like mushrooms, so I had to leave them out. If you like a lot of sauce, use 1-1/2 to 2 times of the amount in the recipe."
"We gave it a try, but it tasted like grass with garlic!"
