iPhone Gems: Every RSS Reader, Reviewed
For those who like to stay as up-to-date as possible with their favorite sites, news, and time-wasters, RSS has become an invaluable online tool. It comes as no surprise, then, that there are no less than 11 RSS reader applications currently available for the iPhone and iPod touch. Ranging from extremely impressive to extremely disappointing, and from free to download to a price of $10, there's a large variety in this group of apps, which should ensure that there will be something to meet each user's needs. To see the best of the pack, check out Manifesto and Newsstand.
As a simple RSS reader, azRSS NewsReader ($2) falls short of the competition due to a questionable interface and a lack of common, user-friendly features. The app's main screen lists subscribed feeds along with a "Feeds Directoy" containing roughly 45 different feeds which the user can choose to subscribe to; users may also add individual feeds. The app lacks any sort of feed auto-detection, meaning that users wanting to add feeds not listed in the directory need to remember and type in the complete feed URL (including "http://"), or the app will bring up an invalid URL error. The app's interface is neither pretty nor offensive, but simply okay.
Tapping on a subscribed feed brings the user to the Articles view, where each item is listed with its title and a star for unread or a checkmark for read items; there is no way to mark all unread, or to mark previously-read items as unread. The individual item view page is plain, with text presented in a reasonably-sized serif font. Links clicked from within this view open in the app's built-in browser. Limited by its inability to automatically find feed URLs, lack of syncing, lack of a flagging option, and hampered by relatively infrequent but still annoying crashes, azRSS would be hard-pressed to garner a recommendation even at the free price level. The addition of any of the above features would help improve this app, which at $2 falls well short of our recommendation. iLounge Rating: D.
Byline ($10) is a Google Reader application for the iPhone. Instead of offering users a list of subscribed feeds, Byline's simple interface presents a set number of unread articles (25 by default, can be set from 25 to 200) in a smallish font with the source, title, time, and two lines of summary; options at the bottom of the list let the user mark all as read and load more items. Buttons at the top of the screen switch between new items, starred items, and notes views, while a refresh button resides at the bottom.
One of the big things Byline has going for it is the ability to archive entire webpages for offline viewing. The app automatically archives starred items and any news items linked to in your Reader account Notes, archived items are presented in a built-in browser, while normal (not archived) items are presented in a simple, standard view with a button to star the item. Links tapped from inside the normal item view send users to Safari instead of the built-in bowser. A menu in the iPhone's Settings app lets users set the number of unread articles to display and toggle auto syncing, Wi-Fi-only archiving, sort by oldest, offline browsing, and the home screen unread badge on and off.
Byline offers many of the features we see as important to its category, such as offline browsing, the ability to sync with an online service, and the ability to star or flag items, but its limited, all-in-one new item view will likely be a huge turn-off for any user with more than a handful of feeds — a major problem, in our view. The ability to view individual feeds and groups of feeds would greatly increase the value of Byline, which currently boasts the highest price of any iPhone RSS Reader. At a lower price, we could overlook some of the app's shortcomings, but for $10, we feel readers will be better off considering a better, more reasonably priced solution. iLounge Rating: D+.
Feeds ($2) is a fairly straightforward, standalone RSS reader for iPhone and iPod touch. After waiting through an unnecessary splash screen, users are presented with a list of subscribed feeds, along with a starred items option at the top of the list and an add feed button. Luckily, Feeds does offer auto-discovery of feed URLs, so the user need only enter the main domain for the feed they're searching for. A selection of sixteen feeds, listed only by favicon, sits below the URL text field on the add feed screen.
Tapping a feed takes the user to a list of recent entries, with unread items in black text and read items in grey, all listed with the date, time, and title. The individual entry view shows the title at the top in a nice-looking blue box, with the summary directly below, and buttons at the bottom to email a link to the story, star the item, or open the story in Safari — Feeds lacks a built-in browser. Offering the ability to view individual feeds, the option to star or flag items, and auto-discovery of feeds, we feel that Feeds provides enough value at its $2 price point to be worthy of our general recommendation. The addition of syncing, offline browsing options, and a built-in browser would make it even better. iLounge Rating: B.
Taking nearly half a minute from launch to actually open and become usable (if it doesn't crash beforehand, as it did for us more than 50% of the time), iRSS ($5) provides users with an early taste of the shortcomings they'll find within. The app comes pre-loaded with a modest list of Mac- and Apple-oriented feeds, including iLounge, each listed in the main view with the title, a blue bubble containing the unread count, the time of the most recent update, and the feed URL, an unnecessary addition, in our view. A button for adding a feed takes the user to a rather unattractive page where they can enter a description, the feed URL (no auto-discovery here), and select how many lines of preview text to show and how many items to store. Tapping on a feed takes users to a list of entries, with a refresh button at the bottom and buttons for deletion of items and marking all as read at the top.
Selecting an entry takes users to a somewhat ugly individual item view, with a too-small trash icon to delete the entry, a button to mark the item unread, an "enclosure" compass button that did absolutely nothing in our testing, and an action button that automatically sends the user to a new email populated by the summary of the entry, but astoundingly, no link to the article, and no mention of what site it came from — not even the title. Likewise, for sites that don't provide an extra link to the story in the summary of their feed, there is no way to view the item outside of the summary view — tapping on the title does nothing, and there is no other option for opening the item in Safari, meaning that iRSS is only good for reading the information found inside the feed itself. We could go into further detail on iRSS' shortcomings, but frankly, there's no need. For free, this app wouldn't be worth the download, but it instead sells for $5, making it the worst value of any reader app. iLounge Rating: F.
iRSSFeeds ($2) is yet another disappointing standalone RSS reader for the iPod touch and iPhone. With no pre-installed feeds, the app at first presents users with a blank feeds list; an add button in the upper right hand corner lets users enter a description and feed URL. As the app doesn't offer feed auto-discovery, users will need to remember and correctly enter the complete feed URL for it to work, otherwise the feed appears on the feeds list with a yellow caution symbol and must be deleted to remove it — the app wouldn't allow us to edit a feed with an invalid URL.
Tapping on the feed loads the entry listing page, which features a mark all as read button at the top, the title, date, and time of each entry listed in small, cramped text, a grey dot to the side to denote unread status, and no lines between the entries, making choosing an item rather difficult. The entry view itself is sparse, with an Open in Safari button at the top, the title in bold, and the summary underneath. Lacking nearly every feature we consider important for this type of application at this price point, iRSSFeeds falls well short of being worth its $2 asking price. The addition of a syncing option, feed auto-detection, offline viewing, the ability to flag articles, a better interface, and a built-in browser would be a good start on improving this app, which is currently just a step above "complete mess." iLounge Rating: D.
Compared to the other RSS reader applications at its price point, Manifesto ($2) is a breath of fresh air: a robust, full-featured app missing only a couple of features. Manifesto uses a bottom-tabbed interface with three options: feeds, new items, and flagged items. The add button lets users add feeds from a direct feed URL, a general site URL, or from a Google Reader account; the Reader option lets users select individual feeds or add all subscribed feeds. In the feeds view, each is listed by title with the favicon to the left and unread count to the right. Tapping on a feed from within this view lists all entries in the feed, including those marked read, each with the title and time or day. An action button allows users to mark all as read or all as flagged.
In the new items view, unread entries are listed by feed, in the same order as on the feeds view. The individual entry view lists the title, with the summary below, a small text link to flag the item, an action button to email a link to the entry or open it in Safari, and a button opposite that for "flipping" between the summary view and a browser view. A menu in the iPhone's Settings app lets users users toggle an option to cache flagged articles for offline viewing, and set the amount of time to keep old and unflagged articles. While it doesn't offer true two-way syncing, Manifesto is one of the most usable RSS readers for the iPhone OS, with a clean, smart interface, flagging and offline viewing support, a variety of options from which to add new feeds, and a well-implemented built-in browser view. It's not perfect, but it's as close as we could expect from a $2 app; true two-way syncing with Google Reader or other online services could make it even better. iLounge Rating: A-.
With a name that should be familiar to any long-time Mac user, NetNewsWire (Free) is the mobile version of the venerable Mac OS RSS reader. Unlike some of the other RSS readers we've reviewed, NetNewsWire is meant as more of an accompaniment to NewsGator's desktop-based RSS readers, NetNewsWire for Mac and FeedDemon for Windows, than a standalone reader. As such, it doesn't offer the ability to add feeds from the app itself, although users can tap the edit button on the main feeds screen to delete feeds — either from just the iPhone version, or from the entire account. Each feed is listed in its group (if applicable) with the favicon to the left and the unread count to the right. A refresh button can be found at the lower right of this screen, and tapping on a feed brings the user into the entry view.
On the entry view, each is listed by title only, unread in blue and read in grey, with a mark all as read button at the bottom. The individual entry view shows the title in a blue bar at the top, with the summary underneath, a next unread button at the bottom, and an action button to email a link or add the story to clippings, which is NewsGator's version of flagging. Tapping the title opens the story in the app's built-in browser, or users can tap the "Open in Safari" button to view the entry outside the app. The app's developer has said that new features are coming in future versions of NetNewsWire, and with a proven track record, we have every reason to believe this app will continue to improve. As it stands, it's the only iPhone RSS app that offers NewsGator integration, and while it's not overflowing with features, it is free. We'd like to see it gain offline browsing support, the ability to add feeds on the go, and more, but it still does what it sets out to do well, sports a well-designed interface, and is worthy of our general recommendation. iLounge Rating: B.
Possessing dual interfaces and a wealth of features, Newsstand ($5) is certainly the most interesting of all the currently available RSS readers for the iPhone. In vertical orientation (more on that later), the app opens to the feeds view, which offers an edit button for removal or addition of feeds, buttons for access to all unread and flagged items, and a list of feeds, along with buttons for refreshing all feeds or marking all items as read. The add feed menu sports a bottom-tabbed interface, with options for searching Bloglines for new feeds, importing feeds from a Bloglines account or an OPML file, adding a folder for feed management, or adding a feed by URL, complete with feed auto-discovery.
Tapping a feed in the main feeds view presents a list of all items in the feed both read and unread, each with the title, date, and three lines of summary, and refresh and mark all as read buttons at the bottom. The individual item view presents the title below the navigation bar, the summary below that, and a bottom bar with a button to flag the item, and eye button for choosing between six different view styles, a talk bubble button for sharing the item via email or posting to del.icio.us, and a compass button to open the item in the built-in browser, from which the user can choose to open the item in Safari.
Turn the iPhone or iPod touch on its side, however, and Newsstand becomes a totally different animal. Landscape mode, as it's called, presents each subscribed feed as a magazine or paper on a shelf, complete with the feed title and most recent items on the "cover." Users navigate through feeds like they would in the iPod app's CoverFlow mode, swiping across to move through the options. Double-tapping on a feed opens it like one would a magazine, with two pages presented: entry titles on the left-hand side, and the selected entry summary on the right. It's a great example of the kind of innovation we like to see from iPhone developers: well designed, unique, and novel new interface solutions for common applications. It's this kind of innovation that will help propel the iPhone OS forward as a platform; an example of an experience that can't be found on similar, competing devices.
What it lacks in features, such as two-way syncing and offline browsing, Newsstand makes up for with a wealth of import options, a highly-usable traditional interface, and a must-see alternate Landscape mode, the last of which could have easily been sold as a separate application. It provides more than enough value to be worth its $5 asking price, and while the addition of offline browsing and two-way syncing would make it even better, it remains worthy of our high recommendation. iLounge Rating: A-.
sebNews ($4) is a fairly simple RSS reader. The main feeds view offers users an edit button for deletion of feeds, a button to view all unread items, a refresh button, a list of feeds, a "problem" button that lets users reinstall the app's database should they experience difficulties, and an add feed button. Users may add feeds by entering a URL (feed auto-discovery is offered) or by selecting a site from their Safari bookmarks — a smart option. Tapping on a feed brings up a list of entries listed in small text. Buttons at the bottom allow the user to select all or unread items, mark all items as read, delete feed items or the entire feed, and refresh, while a search button at the top lets users search the feed for a particular word, a feature that is carried over into the main unread items view.
In the individual item view, the date and title are listed below the navigation bar, with the summary underneath and a row of buttons on the bottom for previewing the entry in the built-in browser, opening it in Safari, or closing the entry and returning to the prior view. A menu in the iPhone's Settings app offers toggles for showing feeds that have already been read, and for autorefreshing of feeds. The application offers no syncing options, no offline browsing, and no flagging, all features that would be appreciated in a reader app that costs $4. It's not necessarily bad, but it's not outstanding in any way, and with better options available for less money, it falls short of our recommendation. iLounge Rating: C-.
SimpleRSS (Free) is, unsurprisingly, an extremely simple reader application that is capable of handling only one feed at a time. SimpleRSS has no refresh button, so after we changed the lone feed to iLounge from the default (manually, as there is no feed auto-detection), we (thought) we had to go back to the home screen to see our changes. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the app to launch at all after changing the feed URL to iLounge's feed because we had forgotten to include "http://"; each time this happened, we were forced to delete and then reinstall the application. We were finally able to load a different feed, but this experience served to make it even more obvious that reader apps should include an auto-detect feature. Once the feed is loaded, there is no indication if an item is read or unread, and tapping on an entry simply opens it in the app's built-in browser, instead of showing the summary first. There is no way to sync feeds, no way to flag items for later reading, and no offline capability. SimpleRSS is free, but with the inability to read multiple feeds and the lack of many common features, it isn't a worthwhile app, and falls short of even our lowest recommendation. iLounge Rating: D.
Listed as "Feeds" on the Home screen, Web Feeds ($4) is yet another straightforward RSS reader application. The main feeds view offers a list of feeds with favicon on the left and unread count on the right, a refresh button, an edit button for sorting and deletion of feeds, and an add button for adding feeds. The add feed screen is very simple, with a single field for entering a feed URL or the URL of a site offering a feed. Tapping on a feed opens the entry listing, which lists each entry's title and three lines of summary, along with a blue dot to the left denoting an unread item. A checkmark button marks all items as read.
The individual entry view presents the title in a blue box, above a light grey box containing site, date, and author information, with the summary below. Tabs on the bottom let the user switch back and forth between summary and web page views. A menu in the iPhone's Settings app lets users choose whether or not to refresh feeds on startup, and set how many items to keep. Unfortunately, Web Feeds strikes us as yet another "okay" app that is done in by its price. At $2, Web Feeds would be at least generally recommendable; the extra $2 added on to its price knocks down its rating substantially. The addition of offline browsing, a flagging option, or feed syncing, combined with a price reduction, would improve this app's standing, which currently falls short of our recommendation. iLounge Rating: C-.

I think I'll wait until Mobile Safari supports feeds Natively.
None of my RSS feeds are that important that I have to read them constantly throughout the day. Maybe in the future, but not now.
Posted by Dan Woods on September 8, 2008 at 4:55 PM (CDT)
I know that google-reader isnt a standalone app, but running it through mobile safari its works great, and has nearly all the features that "big" google reader has.
Posted by James on September 8, 2008 at 5:22 PM (CDT)
I'm addicted to RSS feeds when at a computer; but when out and about I probably don't have time for them other than an occasional check.
That makes NetNewsWire perfect for me. It's got a clean and crisp interface, but the most important part is that it syncs read/unread status with NetNewsWire on my Mac, which is priceless when you're getting hundreds of articles per day coming in.
Some of the other apps look interesting, but unless they offer a desktop version, for free, that rivals NetNewsWire, and that syncs read/unread between desktop and iPhone, I just don't see any benefit in trying them personally.
Nice review though. I agree with a previous post that it would be nice to see a summary.

I use Netnewswire on my iphone and sync my feeds with both my imac and macbook. I agree that it would have been much better if it had offline browsing features.
This was such a long article, I would have liked a summary, including price and features comparison

I personally don't see a need for a separate app when Google Reader works so well. Unless your feeds contain the full text you're going to have to launch a browser anyway, so you may as well start out in a browser window. It also has the advantage of always being in sync. The only downside is it won't let me read by oldest post first.

Sweet, I've been meaning to install an iPhone RSS reader for a while now. Seems like Manifesto at $2 will fit my needs…

I'm writing this on a Touch, and actually linked to this article using NewsNetWire. Although I'm purchasing an iPhone next month (and hoping a surprise 32GB iPhone is released tomorrow), I'm using the Touch in the meantime. As a result, I don't get cached web pages with this RSS program, and that's annoying. I can update before leaving a wi-fi enabled area, but if I want to read more, I'm in trouble, even with THIS website. For some reason, some sources send everything except pictures, and others only provide a summary. I've become an RSS junkie, because I've found that I can keep track of all the news I'm interested in (papers, Yahoo, Apple news, iPod news, and AppStore news. RSS is so much easier. If NewsNetWire can include the ability to cache web pages, it will be a winner…for the iPod and the Touch.

I am using Google Reader and it works so well, I cannot imagine replacing it. I have tried and it doesn't work.
It has a very simple interface with not submenu navigation and lightning fast load times

Use Instapaper to keep Offline versions of websites.
Posted by Oliver on September 9, 2008 at 5:36 AM (CDT)
I also rely on Google Reader, as it allows me to keep in sync from the various different computers I use. But on the iPhone I would like to have offline mode (for the subway in NYC or to avoid high data roaming costs when traveling abroad without hotspots nearby). Manifesto is very nice, but two-way syncing with Google Reader would make it a killer app for me (and others I know)...
Posted by Kevin on September 9, 2008 at 6:42 AM (CDT)
The problem with Google Reader is I don't like google tracking EVERYTHING I do: the read my email, they log my searches, and GR lets them track what stories I follow and actually read. It's just too much information for one company to have about me.
I'm not saying Google is evil or anything like that, but why put all your eggs in one basket, especially when that basket (Google Reader) isn't the best RSS reader out there (in my opinion)?
Posted by DistortedLoop on September 9, 2008 at 8:47 AM (CDT)
If I actually cared about who knew what articles I read in my feed reader or if I cared about who knew what i searched for I might feel the same way that DistortedLoop does.
Fact is, for me, I just don't care. Yes, Google scans my Gmail to serve relevant ads to pay for the free service. Yes, Google tracks my searches. So does every other search engine and I prefer Google Search. Yes, Google tracks every news story that I read. So does every other provider. I like FeedDemon and Net News Wire because I can sync multiple computers. They track my habits.
Given that SOMEONE will be logging this information I use what I like and I like Google. I don't see it as one company having too much information about what I do, I see it as picking someone to trust and I trust Google.
Besides, I (like so many people) have absolutely nothing to hide and am rather certain that if someone did read my emails or look at my feeds they would find me to be totally uninteresting. Dare I say even boring. That makes it pretty easy.
Posted by dualsub2006 on September 9, 2008 at 11:59 AM (CDT)
I was excited by the article, but disappointed by the results. I agree with James that Google Reader suits most of my needs, but using a Touch rather than an iPhone means that offline reading would be the one feature missed by relying on GR. But it looks like to get off-line reading, I give up the syncing, which is the main reason I use GR. The only reader that seems to support both is Byline, which sounds like it has other issues. Still, I'll have to investigate it further because no other reader looks to fit my needs any better than Google Reader.
Posted by Rob E. on September 9, 2008 at 12:21 PM (CDT)
If I am going to flag stories to get them for offline reading, well, frankly it isn't really worth much to me.
I want a Google Reader compatible browser that just flat out downloads every single story and then syncs back up to the mothership as I read and star them.
Posted by akatsuki on September 9, 2008 at 2:02 PM (CDT)
As a user of Newsgator.com (at work) and NetNewsWire for Mac OS X (at home), I find NetNewsWire for iPhone to be one of the most frequently used apps, even more so than Safari. It is far from perfect—the latest version (1.0.9) is buggy (won't remove read articles ever) and is missing critical features (e.g., landscape browsing, reading clipping, offline browsing). But I am certain the app will improve and address most of my concerns in the near future.
Posted by nutmac on September 9, 2008 at 6:37 PM (CDT)
If you're willing to jailbreak, GRIS is an excellent (and free) program that syncs to Google Reader more robustly than ByLine. You can star items and keep items as unread if you want, images are cached locally, and you can select which tags you do and do not want to sync. It does lump all articles into a common feed, but if you're clever with which tags you want to sync, it's not quite so annoying as Byline's all-or-nothing approach. Did I mention it's free?
Posted by What TOS? on September 10, 2008 at 7:15 PM (CDT)
Take it from me I have tried them all.
Google Reader's iphone optimized site is the best, but a little slower than a native app that caches.
Next best is just as ilounge said is Manifesto. All it lacks is two way sync. Their review was accurate.
Newstand's "landscape mode" is EYE CANDY. It compromises funcionality by cutting the screen in half for something you don't need to see constantly. Get rid of that & it's tied with Manifesto. So this is NOT ranked second in my book.
NetNewsWire is what I would rank as second. It has the two way sync and is FREE, but it lacks a few desirable features.
The rest don't even compare as is.
Posted by Randy on September 14, 2008 at 9:20 PM (CDT)
Bought Newsstand. Wanted to like it so much, and the first few minutes are a joy. The landscape mode is utterly gimmicky and unnecessary however, and it forgets, IT FORGETS what you've read and not read. 10 times today upon loading, it's brought me to the same damned article I read earlier that morning, and has display loads of read articles as unread. This renders it virtually useless. Going to check out Manifesto.
Posted by Paul allen on September 23, 2008 at 4:30 PM (CDT)
What drove me to NewsStand over NetNewsWire was that to add a feed to NNW, you have to do it in NewsGator, and since I don't use a reader elsewhere (I have feeds I read on my phone, feeds I read at the computer), any sync feature I don't need.
Yes, the landscape view is useless to me, but I really like being able to add a feed from the app.
However—without cut and paste <ahem> it's still limited in NewsStand, because it uses Bloglines to search for the feeds, and 50% of the time it can't find the thing I'm looking for.
So I'll check into Manifesto and see if it suits my needs.
Posted by Wayne on September 30, 2008 at 7:24 PM (CDT)
Manifesto has potential but it completely locks up my iPhone backups in iTunes. Latest version (v1.0.2) as well as previous version.
Uninstalling Manifesto puts my backups right back into working order.
Not worth the headache at this point.
Posted by Rich on September 30, 2008 at 10:57 PM (CDT)
I haven't tried it yet, but I hear that Byline is now in 2.0 and incorporates browsing feeds by tags. It's also discounted for a limited time. I plan on grabbing it as soon as I get home. If I had an iPhone, I might be happy with another reader, or just the Google Reader web interface, but as an iPod Touch user, the ability to cache stories, read them offline, and then sync back to Google Reader is key.
Posted by Rob E. on October 15, 2008 at 1:46 PM (CDT)
Also, you seem2 have missed the most popular
and one of the oldest: Free Rss
Posted by Pranay Sanghavi on October 16, 2008 at 7:37 AM (CDT)
Thew new Byline definitely deserves a second visit, with it's lower price (I know it says limited time, but like what most developers have done, I'm guessing this is a fib, or at least it will only go up to $5 from $4 - $10 is too much), browse by group, and all around polished interface for offline browsing. It's pretty much exactly what I've wanted for rss on the bus, especially since it syncs with google reader so I don't have to go through everything twice.
It's biggest remaining faults would be the 200 item limit (which is reasonable for me, that's about half a day's content), and the time it takes to sync offline content (start it before your shower in the morning :))
Regardless, a D+ is very unfair to the current release/price.
People keep saying how wonderful the google reader is online, but there are major problems with it, because 1) it requires you be online, which is rather an issue for touch users, and 2) it frequently reloads when you come back to it from browsing another tab linked from your rss. Until this little "feature" of safari's limited caching is resolved, using google reader is an effort in frustration.
Posted by devwild on November 2, 2008 at 12:21 PM (CST)
Agreed, the new Byline is a "2.0" level of maturity versus Manifesto which has a "1.0" feel. Unless you must have feed level reading (versus folder level), anyone considering Manifesto should skip it and go with Byline.
Posted by byrc on January 14, 2009 at 10:47 AM (CST)
From this review I would choose Manifesto but well ermmm… not quite all the rss readers out there: Gazette, boltreader to name just two…
Posted by Josef Rosie on September 18, 2009 at 2:33 PM (CDT)
This is a very good overview, but I am missing something: I am searching for an rss reader that can handle feeds that have a url starting with https://.. and that need authentication. Is one of the reviewed ones able to do this? Is there any reader out there that can handle this?

Barbados see + do
"East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet": Barbados might well have inspired Rudyard Kipling to pen that famed verse. The island's coasts are so dramatically contrasting (in atmosphere, geography) that visiting both sides will make you feel like you've enjoyed two distinctly separate holidays. If the west attracts tourists with its crystalline, lake-like waters and blue-chip restaurants, the east will seduce with its romantic, ragged coastline and sumptuous quiet. Although doing nothing is a most respectable activity in Barbados, there are plenty of options for those looking for a holiday from their holiday. Activities range from the cultural (visiting churches, opera-going) to the debauched (rum-imbibing) to the natural (beach-hopping) to the posh (polo playing).

The Bike Show and the cycle clothing company Rapha share a birthday, and while The Bike Show keeps on keeping on, Rapha has grown into a global brand and is toasting its success on the Champs-Élysées as suppliers of clothing to the Sky Pro Cycling Team. Jack checks in with Laura Bower and James Fairbank at Rapha to talk about Chris Froome's fishnets and what the company is doing to encourage more women to ride bikes. Summer is festival time and Jack chews over the Rapha Tempest and the Eroica Britannia with Howard Smith, author of The Jersey Pocket cycling blog.
Sound and Vision: A Secret History of Bicycle Cultures 1869-2013
In a talk recorded at Friday Late "Eat, Ride, Sleep, Repeat" held earlier this year at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Jack Thurston tells a secret history of British bicycle cultures, with help from Ruth Beale, Tim Dawson, Guy Andrews and Patrick Field.
This is an enhanced podcast with still images accompanying the audio. It might not make as much sense without the images.
Uphill State of Mind
Cyclists have a strange fascination with riding up hills and it's definitely a pleasure/pain thing. Jack goes in search of the hill climb junkies, first at the Catford Hill Climb on Kent's North Downs, the oldest continuously held bicycle race in the world, and then to Abergavenny where a new course has revived the local cycling club's flagging hill climb event.
Raleigh Recall
In the third and final instalment of the Raleigh mini-season, listeners to The Bike Show share their recollections of Raleigh bicycles they have loved – and loathed. Jack Thurston is joined by broadcaster and artist Ruby Wright and London man-about-town and Raleigh Twenty owner Jean-Marie Orhan. In a podcast-only bonus feature, Tony Hadland shares his thoughts on restoring old, neglected Raleigh bicycles.
Apologies to 'Fun Run' Robbie who is of course not 'Fun Boy' Robbie at all (or maybe he is?!) and yes, the town of Hawick in the Scottish Borders is pronounced like this.
Raleigh (part two): The Fall
In the second of a two-part feature on the Raleigh Bicycle Company, historian Tony Hadland and Jack Thurston look at Raleigh's post-war success as the world's biggest bicycle manufacturing company and its long decline to a point where it was sold off to overseas investors and abandoned manufacturing in its home town of Nottingham. The Raleigh name lives on as a brand owned by Accell, a larger Dutch company.
Raleigh (part one): The Rise
In the first of a two-part feature on the Raleigh Bicycle Company, historian Tony Hadland and Jack Thurston chart the rise of the company from a small backstreet workshop in Nottingham in the mid-1880s to the mid-1950s when it was seemingly unassailable as the world's biggest bicycle manufacturer.
Tony Hadland is the author of Raleigh: Past and Presence of an Iconic Bicycle Brand.
Spilling the Beans
Nick Larsen is founder and creative director at Charge Bikes of Frome in the west of England. Charge is a fairly new company, remarkable for many things and not least the fact that all its products are named after something you would normally find in the kitchen. There's the Juicer (a road bike), the Spoon (a saddle), the Bowl (a pair of handlebars) and of course The Plug, a simple single speed bicycle that launched the company into the big time a few years ago.
Nick talks candidly about the bike industry, his own motivations and inspirations, where future trends are coming from and the potential of the exciting new technology of '3D printing'.
This conversation was recorded live at last month's Bike V Design night at the Design Museum.

Syrian Refugee Flow to Turkey Accelerates as Assad Attacks
June 14 (Bloomberg) -- The flow of Syrian refugees to Turkey accelerated, stretching the country's capacity to accommodate them, after President Bashar al-Assad's forces attacked the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shughour.
There are now 8,538 refugees in tent cities in the border province of Hatay, up from 6,817 yesterday, the state-run Anatolia news service reported, citing the government agency for disaster management. Turkey's Red Crescent, which had facilities to shelter 8,000 people as of June 11, today set up a fifth camp ground that can accommodate an additional 785 people.
Syrian refugees in Turkey more than doubled in the past three days as Assad's army took full control over Jisr al-Shughour in an operation described by the government as targeting armed rebels responsible for the death of 120 security personnel last week. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's stance toward Syria hardened with the approach of the June 12 elections in Turkey, with the premier saying that he will speak with Assad in "very different way."
"From Turkey's point of view, a deterioration of relations with Syria, which would mean its influence in the Arab world would affected, would be very extremely troubling," said James Ker-Lindsay, a fellow at the London School of Economics who focuses on security, peace and conflict. "The idea of Turkey becoming a major international power has relied on the fact that it has been working to strengthen its ties."
Leaders Speak
Assad called Turkey's prime minister to congratulate him on winning a third term in office, Anatolia said. The countries came to the brink of war in 1998 and the leaders have improved relations since Assad became president in 2000.
Erdogan told Assad that he must avoid violence, halt the unrest and enact reforms, according to Anatolia. Turkey, which has promised to keep the borders open, also expressed its apprehension about the flood of refugees, it said.
"We are currently meeting the needs of Syrians coming to Turkey," Deputy Prime Minister Cemil Cicek said today in a televised news conference. "Our hope is that the situation in Syria will be resolved as soon as possible, restoring peace, calm and stability."
A total of 1,297 civilians and 340 members of the army and security forces have been killed since the protests started in mid-March, the Syrian Observatory said today in its website. Most of the inhabitants of Jisr al-Shughour have fled, according to the the human rights group.
Opposition supporters and local residents have said the security forces were executed in the northwestern town after refusing to fire on pro-democracy protesters, and described random shootings and the torching of fields by government troops.
Ankara Meeting
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will host a meeting of Turkish ambassadors in Ankara tomorrow to discuss developments in Syria and other Arab countries, according to Anatolia.
France, which together with the U.K. proposed a motion in the United Security Council on June 8 condemning Assad's crackdown, is seeking to increase cooperation with Turkey over Syria, President Nicolas Sarkozy said in a June 13 letter to Erdogan that was released today.

Reviews for Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding
Sort By :
"this was great, i used a can of carnation for part of the milk, added the raisins after bringing to a boil,was cooked in 30 min so be sure and check for doneness after second stirring, i forgot to add the vanilla and it was still delicious"
"I omitted the raisins and substituted Truvia/sugar blend (4 Tablespoons) and knocked the carbs down to 26g. This is great for my husband who is prediabetic. He can have a GENEROUS 3/4 cup serving for desert and not go over his carbs for the day. And he says it beats any rice pudding he ever ate!"
"Im making it now. My first time, but was JUST in the mood. :) I will rate once I try it. Cant wait! It's going to be my dinner, just because. Lo
I rated "1" star because I cant comment without a rating. :(K, so this was yummy!!!! Will make again.""This is an excellent recipe without using a pudding mix. Sometimes I use almond flavoring and I have to 4X the recipe...there's NEVER any leftovers (usually theres 10-15+ people eating). If you like it thinner, just use more milk. My son likes to add heavy whipping cream to his bowl, makes it thinner and creamy(er). : )"
"This was wonderful....I loved it so yummy!"

Maine legislators approve three initiative bills
July 27, 2010
By Kyle Maichle
AUGUSTA, Maine: Lawmakers in Maine ended their legislative session on March 12, 2010, with three initiative bills signed into law[1][2]. The bills signed into law include changes on petition circulators and fiscal impact statements along with ending public notices for statewide referendums in newspapers.
The petition circulator bill requires disclosure for organizations employing paid circulators, reducing how much time courts can hear appeals on signature challenges, and giving citizens more time to challenge signatures[3]. The bill was approved by the House on a 119-23 vote on March 29, 2010. The Senate approved the bill two days later before receiving the Governor's signature on April 6, 2010[4].
Lawmakers also approved changes to how fiscal impact statements are presented for referendums. The bill clarifies when the Office of Fiscal and Program Review is required produce statements on a measure's fiscal impact. Also, statements would have to be placed separately from other sample ballots on the guardrail outside of the polling place[5]. The bill was approved by both houses of the Legislature on acclimation before receiving the Governor's signature on March 23, 2010[6].
Legislators also made public notices of statewide referendums in daily newspapers a thing of the past. The bill would no longer require the Secretary of State to publish notices before an election involving a referendum[7]. Both houses of the Legislature approved the bill on January 14, 2010, with hardly any opposition. The Governor signed the bill into law on January 21, 2010[8].

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Mike Smith stopped 21 shots, Lauri Korpikoski and Martin Hanzal both scored, and the Phoenix Coyotes extended their point streak to five games with a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Wild last night. Korpikoski scored his fourth goal — all against Finnish goaltenders — in the first, and Hanzal got his third in three games in the second. Smith was sharp for his second start in a row, giving up a goal on a turnover in the second and fighting off a power play by the Wild in the final minutes.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gabe Rogers scored 22 points, 16 in the second half, and Michael Dunn made two free throws with 7 seconds remaining to help Northern Arizona beat Sacramento State 62-61 last night. Max Jacobsen added 16 points for the Lumberjacks, who led only in the first two minutes and the last two minutes of the game. Sacramento State led 51-37 with 11:17 to play after John Dickson's 3-pointer. Northern Arizona went on a 14-2 run, capped by Dunn's dunk with 5:15 left to cut the deficit.
PHOENIX (AP) — Scottsdale police say Phoenix Suns forward Michael Beasley was cited last month on suspicion of speeding, driving on a suspended Arizona license and driving without a vehicle license plate or registration. The Suns issued a statement Monday saying they discussed the matter with Beasley "and at this time do not believe any further action by the club is warranted." A police report says Beasley was stopped Jan. 25 on suspicion of driving 71 mph in a 45. He's due in court Feb. 11.
(AP) — Brandon Webb, who won the NL Cy Young Award in 2006 and was one of the top pitchers in baseball before being beset by arm injuries, is retiring. The right-hander's agents from Millennium Sports Management confirmed last night that Webb was calling it a career. The 33-year-old Webb hasn't pitched in the majors since 2009 because of shoulder problems. He came up with Arizona in 2003 and had a 2.84 ERA in 180 innings. The Kentucky native threw four innings with the Diamondbacks in 2009.

Comments about Dog Carrier:
We purchased 2 of the dog carriers to transport 2 or our 6 Shih Tzus, one petite, one large, from home to downtown highrise office building on a daily basis. Both dogs love the carriers and they are much more eager to jump into the new dog carriers than the prior Tumi dog carriers which we still use.
The best features are the ventalation design with the large window and the zipper placement and design which seems to eliminate the problem we've had with the dogs getting their hair caught in the zipper when we open or close the bags and they simultaneously attempt to exit the bag.
We went thru a long string of dog carriers from various manufacturers before settling on the Tumi brand. We feel the Tumi quality is well worth the higher price.
Best Uses
Comments about Dog Carrier:
We have the Alpha Dog carrier as well as the cloud seven and we really like the sleeve on the alpha carrier so you can carry the bag on your carry on. I have used the cloud seven carrier multiple times while traveling and not having the sleeve makes it very difficult to maneuver luggage in the airport. I have actually dropped the dogs twice as the bag does not stay on top of your luggage without you having a firm grasp.
I would also like to see vents on the long side of the bag. We like the side roll up vent as well as the "pop up tent"...however, it is difficult to hold the bag on top of your luggage while the pop up is open. Front vent would help.
Putting a carry sleeve on would really improve the rating of this bag as I really like the longer and wider dimensions compared to the alpha carrier.
Thinking of returning this bag unless we can come up with a solution for easier carry on.

Comments about Dog Carrier:
The bag is perfect for my dog. We have a louis vuitton dog carrier which is too heavy and not practical at all, so after I saw this bag in someone's instagram I knew I had to buy it! Found it in Paris and we are very happy with it! Lots of pockets, very light, enough space inside. Nothing to complain so far.

First—Is the present I need to thank you, my readers and visitors, for—all 100,000 of you in the past 5 years.
100,000 Visitors to this blog as of 12:02PM today! It's pretty amazing—I know, I know, it's a relationship—I write and post, and you come and read.
But there is more!
Obviously, the powers that be think I need to knit a shawl, too. So there was a reason for my itch—I have another early birthday present--Look at this lovely shawl pin! Enameled copper and brass—it's so simple—and so lovely.
On its own—it's a wonderful thing—but it came with the lovely scissors, too. Can you see? They are finished with a purple coating. Silver and purple! And nice leather sheath.
My gift to myself? Well, the plain white sock yarn from 2 weeks ago?—It's s now several shades of purple/violet: bluish, plumish, and dusty lilac. It's a bit darker than I hoped—but there are some lighter more pastel bits too.
I always think of May as the month of purple flowers—the squills and purple iris, lilac's and pansies--marching soldiers of tulips in shades from cream to deep red violet, and creeping at their feet, the periwinkles. Everywhere-- every shade of purple and violet. By the end of the month—there will be red roses, and riots of color—but May starts out in purple—putting on a display, while in half mourning for the end of winter.
Meanwhile—the gussets are finished (and so are the beads) and the foot of the sock is over half done—I need 9 or so inches from base of heel and I already have over 4.5 inches. See? They looking more and more like socks every round! My feet (and ankles and legs) are bigger than the display models--the foot look 2/3rd's or more done on the Legs--but they are not--but more than half done--and today and tomorrow to finish.

Only as good as long as the company is in business. Yeah SOTA has been around a long time but so were a lot of other well known brands........till they weren't.
SOTA's $800 Moonbeam
Custom wood finishes add $100, but I think the Moonbeam is beautiful exactly as it is. (Gah: I sound like a pop song. Swoon.)
I suspect the Moonbeam can handle a higher-quality cartridge than the stock OM5E. To that end, Bodinet explained that SOTA will mount and align the cartridge of your choice, so long as you purchase it through SOTA. The Moonbeam, like all SOTA turntables, is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime trade-in guarantee, so your investment is secure and you can upgrade as you see fit.
Well Johnny, a meteor could also wipe all life off of the planet...
Ha, ha, ha!
I'd take my chances with the meteor, already dodged one when I was a kid. It flew by and came down so close to my brother and I, I could smell it. Never forget that smell, like molten iron slag as it lite up the night sky with fire. Another nice Sota!
Happy Listening! ;^)>
Very good value and yes they have been around for a while and Donna of SOTA has very good customer service. Tweak Studio can also back up their customer service at www.myavstudio.com

Featured Article
Vice President Joe Biden stopped in East Hartford Friday after attending a campaign fundraiser for Senator Chris Dodd. Dodd was absent from both events because he was in Washington for a possible floor vote. WNPR's Lucy Nalpathanchil reports.
Vice President Biden put on a lone show for the Connecticut Senator, first appearing at a $500 a plate luncheon at the Science Center downtown, then speaking before a packed room of East Hartford firefighters around 2 pm. In his 25 minute speech, Biden praised the fire service and highlighted the work of the East Hartford fire department after it battled a 5 alarm blaze with no injuries earlier this week. The fire dept was also the recipient of a $3.4 million dollar construction grant from the federal stimulus act to replace one of its stations.
Biden pointed out that he and Dodd were early supporters of allocating money for first responders:
"When the act was first written, I was pushing to include cops and firefitghters in it. And the straight economists, said no there's not immediate payback. You know who I called? To weigh in and get it done? I called Chris Dodd."
Biden also took time to take on critics of the stimulus act who question the government spending billions of dollars on new projects:
"We inherited a 1.2 trillion dollar debt before we opened the door to the oval office. People say, 'my god, now you're going to spend another 787 billion dollars.' What would have happened had we not? This economy would have tanked into a depression."
Biden believes the economy will continue to improve under the recovery act, since only one third of the stimulus money has gone out so far. He says contracts take time but since the legislation was signed, 1.6 million jobs have been created. This is the second time this year Biden has fundraised for Dodd who is suffering from low poll numbers. President Obama also attended a fundraiser in October.

Panzer Grenadier: Indian Unity
Under the British Raj, India included 565 "princely states" under their own semi-independent rulers. At the 1947 founding of independent India almost all of them opted to join either India or Pakistan, but the largest, Hyderabad, balked at becoming part of India. Its ruler, the Nizam Osman Ali Khan, chose independence for his state or, barring that, accession to Pakistan.
Hyderabad covered much of southern India.
Indian Unity is a supplement for the Panzer Grenadier system based on the battles waged between India and Hyderabad in 1948. This module is not playable by itself, but requires ownership of Eastern Front, Road to Berlin, Cassino '44, Desert Rats and Elsenborn Ridge. There are 10 scenarios, each based on an actual battle.
The Nizam of Hyderabad (left, in box) reviews his troops before the Indian invasion.
Indian Unity is sold via .pdf download (with unmounted playing pieces) OR in a printed edition with laser-cut and mounted playing pieces. The print edition is a limited edition and sold exclusively through Avalanche Press.
Stock Code: #1526 (download) #1828 (printed)

Skype exploit reveals user IP addresses
While an IP address can reveal a user's city or country of origin, it doesn't provide more specific information. But it can be used to potentially track down users -- i.e., in litigation.
A simple Skype exploit can reveal IP addresses -- remote and local -- of any user.
A blog post by skype-open-source runs through the process of obtaining a user's IP address. Essentially, all a person has to do is start the process of adding a contact with a specific user name. Instead of sending a contact confirmation, the person can click on the information card to obtain the IP address of that particular user.
The process only works if the other user is online. The only method of protecting against this is to log off of Skype when you're not using it, or to use a virtual private network to hide the IP address, according to ghacks.
The IP address doesn't give up a person's name or other specific information, but it does provide information on the country, and in some cases city, of origin. Ghacks noted that an IP address can be used to obtain more information in the case of a lawsuit.
Skype said it is looking at the issue.
"We are investigating reports of a new tool that allegedly captures a Skype user's last known IP address. This is an ongoing, industry-wide issue faced by all peer-to-peer software companies," said a company representative. "We are committed to the safety and security of our customers and we are takings measures to help protect them."
Updated at 1:23 p.m. PT: to include a response from Skype.
