There is a voice saying "it can´t be done" for Britain´s joining the Eurozone...but it will be done by 2015. I bet you the UK will be the 18th member state of the Euroozne by 2018.
Remember that Britain´s Euro banknotes have the prefix "J" and the control number "20".
Yes, it can be done...and will be done.
"the economist" continues its anglo-saxon campaign of propaganda to destroy the Euro. I know it would be a lot better for the UK and for the US that the Euro currency was destroyed, but I am not sure they will succeed.
Congratulations Russia for your successful 2018 world cup bid.
Leaving the Euro zone is a discussion about how to foist off losses on someone. Leaving the Euro currency has one salient positive feature in that the sovereign government isn't pilloried for picking and choosing winners and losers (bond investors, retirees, small businesses,...). Staying in the Euro currency is fraught, the ECB and Eurocrats in Brussels pressuring to keep bankrupt bankers whole (Ireland), and espousing hopeless austerity measures for tottering bankrupt countries (Greece. Eventually investors will take a haircut here, either one hair at a time, or all at once).
The sovereign governments need to stop bearing obeisance to Brussels and vested interests, and stand on their hind legs. Investors took a risk in exchange for a higher return and lost, they don't need to be saved (Iceland). Citizens should not expect unaffordable welfare state benefits like 40 year retirements for 20 years of working (or any other distortions to production for that matter).
Leaving the Euro currency shows a lack of imagination and fortitude, and a desire to let markets choose ones fate instead of using the power invested in a sovereign government.
As the article says - it would be very dificult for a country to "set up a new currency." But what if you wanted a weaker currency but did not create a new currency? Since the euro is pretty much a foreign currency to every member state, why not use a different weaker foreign currency instead of setting up your own one?
My nose tells me the reason why a country may want to leave is to devalue. So for example, what if Spain or Portugal switched to the Check Krona or the Polish zloty? That would save the trouble of establishing a new currency but at the same time it would allow them to devalue over the long term.
The only problem i guess with this theory is that the krona or the zloty will be attacked - and there are costs involved.
As usual (at least recently), The Economist displays what it really is - a spin magazine for brainwashing people. Orwell would surely but sadly have felt proud to see his sinister fiction come reality.
No mention that the Euro was introduced against the will of the people (only Sweden and Denmark held referendums to ask its citizens - in both countries the introduction of the Euro was rejected). Not only this, even in those countries that did not hold referendums, people were deceived by their former politicians. For instance in Germany, former chancellor Helmut Kohl promised people in Germany that the "Euro would be as strong as the Deutsche Mark" and "that there will never be a transfer union and no bail-outs permitted".
If people were deceived by their politicians then, what gives people the certainty that they are being deceived yet again?
Although obviously before the implementation of the "eurobond" the political governments of each nation should consult their citizens. Another form of avoiding it is what they do in the US, just buy the bonds from states in more trouble.
This hasn't happened to the pound sterling, because "bind vigilantes", as well as hedge funds and vulture funds are products of the 21st century
"he euro seems to be in trouble because a single interest rate cannot be right for very different economies, and because each country has its own economic policy. Yet the former sterling area survived for many years although the same factors were present. How did that happen?"
interesting question because the pound is a form of "euro" for the british isles, I thikn it's just because the times were different then.. in any case I reckon you have a unified treasury gilt system. That's basically what we need in europe , a "eurobond". I think this is very likely to be implemented in a very near future
"There's no way out of the Euro but potentially for Germany and even though their exports would be impacted by a sky-rocketing Deutsch Mark as well as by the recession that this would trigger in the Eurozone which is after all their number 1 customer. "
You are speculating on the impossible, it would be as if I started a debate on whether we could stop the planet earth from rotating around its axis. You can go on about its consequences, but everyone knows it won't or can't happen. The people in general LIKE the EURO. EUropeans across Europe embrace the project and will defend till the end, even with the deliberate attack on it in recent times.
Europe will stand UNITED! No more wars! No more bickering! EUropeans, unite! :-)
A strong poem for peace and against war in Europe!
"That's why I was always against Britain adopting the Euro."
I much appreciate scepticism, ubber-scepticism however, simply denotes a stubbern mind-set unable to see points of view different from their own.
"Just imagine that Ireland decides to leave the Euro for example, the speculator would immediately go for the jugular. Interest rates would be so high that after two or three quarters Ireland would be bankrupted and of course could not expect help then from the Eurozone countries..."
Instead of leaving the Euro, Ireland should be criminally prosecuting the banksters and the awful things they've done to it .
Everyone commenting here seems to thikn that there is any tupe of political or popular will in any country in the euro-zone to leave the euro, and there isn't. This is nothing but intellectual masturbation for the new-thatcherists that I have witnessed reborn (and never thought I would really).
Think the unthinkable because it is likely to happen.
Europe is collapsing financially, and the worst is yet to come. Hold on tight. It is apt to get very ugly between now and the end of this decade.
See, e.g., http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/the-economic-tsunami-continu... (see also postings beneath the article)
On the other side of the Atlantic, Barack Obama's presidency is collapsing too. He will not be reelected.
See http://naegeleblog.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/barack-obama-is-a-lame-duck-...
The weak countries cannot leave the euro to avoid default, but they can leave the euro as part of a default. Either would be a mess, terrible and expensive.
But, as described as long ago as March 2001, it is possible for a German departure to be driven by the private sector.
Whether or not liked, the danger to the € is there.
There's no way out of the Euro but potentially for Germany and even though their exports would be impacted by a sky-rocketing Deutsch Mark as well as by the recession that this would trigger in the Eurozone which is after all their number 1 customer.
That's why I was always against Britain adopting the Euro.
Just imagine that Ireland decides to leave the Euro for example, the speculator would immediately go for the jugular. Interest rates would be so high that after two or three quarters Ireland would be bankrupted and of course could not expect help then from the Eurozone countries...
Nice article but not sure I have understood it.
If a country leaves the Euro, do depositors in all of its national banks get instantly switched to a new currency? Wouldn't depositors in all countries move their funds to German banks in advance in order to benefit from appreciation of whatever currency Germany is in?
If that is the case, presumably any country planning to leave would do so in utmost secrecy, with the maximum of denial. Should we therefore assume that this is already happening and be moving all deposits into German banks?
Countries were able to enter and leave the Sterling area easily. They were still sovereign. The design flaw of the Euro is that this is not the case, as the article above explains countries cannot leave the Euro without huge pain.
The euro seems to be in trouble because a single interest rate cannot be right for very different economies, and because each country has its own economic policy. Yet the former sterling area survived for many years although the same factors were present. How did that happen?
The fact that it is so terribly hard to leave the Euro is, I suggest, the problem. I think it is worse than you argue above however. As well as all the things you point out, the leaver would face the wrath of the Eurozone who, to deter future escapees, would mercilessly "punish" the leavers. Potential Euro levers know this, they are after all Europeans and they know it is what they would do if they were in the other seat bboming on an undervalued currency like Germany and the North.
So leaving is a terrible prospect that would require huge political leadership to even contemplate. So for that reason thats not going to happen in Europe.
What will happen I fear is year after year of economic pain in the weak half of Europe that will destroy the European demos year in, year out.
The Euro is an infernal machine, perhaps the most divisive event since the last European/world war. It will likely destroy the European project in the most cruel and drawn out way possible.
It is a tragedy.
Eurosceptics were, all the time, arguing to avoid precisely this disaster. They were the good guys all along. Now it is too late. There is no way out. Thats why you cannot read about a way out anywhere, there isn't one.
A lot of the comments you read in these articles are filled with prejudice, as if Spain, Ireland or Greece didn't or couldn't provide good enough education to its people! How many Spanish, Irish , Greek researcher, engineers, etc. are out there in the world. A world divided by labels and stereotypes is not only an unrealistic world, as it is a prejudiced and unfair world. Finance journalists need to change their points of view
This crisis has only but served to fill eurosceptics' chest with schadenfreudian pride. Quite reminds me of the "I told you so" one's grandfather, in its traditional wisdom, used to profer every time something went just slighlty off the tracks, although maybe he wasn't quite totally right.
Adventure is the word my friends, bringing new financial projects about, projects under construction still, no doubt about it. BUt don't underestimate the European elite's resourcefulness.
There's probably some kind of plan devised. In a matter of months, when the dust has settled, we will find out what it is. It will certainly only make the common currency stronger.
macroeconomic indicators:
public deficit:
Ireland: 32%
Britain: 12%
Portugal: 8%
Spain: 7%
public debt:
Ireland: 110%
Britain : 80%
there you go. tell me where the difference is. RATIONALLY. Then tell me why the rating's agencies give the uk AAA ratings, Ireland AA and the keep downgrading Portugal and Spain. In that , you will find the answer to the current crisis. It's called DISCRIMINATION.
In the words of a famous Englishman: "Take a look at the lawmen, beating up the WRONG guy, oh man, I wonder if they'll ever know, they're in the best selling show!"
Yeah, WRONG guy you got it right old chum
and my final say as to what happened during the so-called european sovereign debt crisis:
Greece went kaput because it WAS insolvent. They lied for years about their public finance. This started two things at the same time:
a) It started scaring away traditional bondholders. Who started to sell in the secondary markets.
b) it was seen as an opportunity for some sectors of the market to make profit, who bought those bonds.
this led to a self-feeding system, which was then pumped even further by speculative articles in the international media. The new investors in the bond markets didn't really fear much because they knew a bailout would occur so they basically would never lose money.
The Irish situation happened because when the new bondholders, hedge funds and vulture funds heard of the "haircut" they started selling like crazy and bond yields rose skyhigh. End of story for Ireland.
In the meantime eurosceptics in the UK and elsewhere saw this as an opportunity to bash the common currency and boast about their own predictions (in the past) that it would break. They underestimated mostly everything: the resourcefulness of Portugal, the indifference of Spain, and the might of the ECB.
full stop. End of crisis
Now let's talk about other fun stuff, like the insolvency of California, and the British foreign debt problem

iHerb Customer Reviews
Good for Lyme
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1000851 on May 15, 2008
If you're dealing with Lyme, Cat's Claw is beneficial once you have the inflammation under control. It will begin to build up your immune system, and help to detoxify which is crucial once the parasites die off. Would most definitely recommend it for anyone dealing with Lyme, as the body needs to 'pulse' different herbs while healing from the disease. I liked the brand, good price and iHerb is the best in delivery and customer service.
Very good product

Posted by FEED-ME-MORE on Apr 04, 2012
Very good product. It is so strong and is so potential that one could not believe. Only with 6 capsules per day and no other measures I have cure few times severe ear inflammation. Its awesome. Or you can add it for your flu when you are sick. It is taking off high temperature naturally. Some people are nuts for it, in a good way :)
Cat's Claw Immune Boost

Cat's Claw is an excellent immune system booster which detoxifies the body.
Highly recommended
Posted by Reviewer2798027 on Jan 02, 2008
First time trying this product, but it was highly recommended to me.
Not bad at all
Posted by Reviewer1003688 on Aug 07, 2008
I expected to not get much from this thinking that only the liquid extracts are powerful but I was wrong. This might be a good place to start, then when ramped up to 6-9 caps per day one cam move to the extract.

Mathew Barzal
Scouts See Good Game From T-Birds' Gropp
Seattle's 6-foot-2 leading scorer entered Friday's contest with 12 goals and 10 assists through 27 games. He now has 13 goals and 11 assists for a six-point advantage over the Thunderbirds' next leading scorer.
T-Birds Iced By Surging Kootenay
Riding an emotional 3-2 win over the Silvertips, Seattle (10-12-2-2) opened a four-game homestand with a flat performance against the Ice. Since the departure of Barzal due to a lower-body injury, Seattle is 3-7. Comparatively, its opponent Saturday is 8-2 since the return of star center Sam Reinhart.
Late Seattle Penalties Hand Spokane 2-1 Win
In an even first period where shots on goal were 12 apiece, consecutive tripping penalties called on the T-Birds with under six minutes to play led to a 5-on-3 power play for the Chiefs who quickly capitalized.
Kolesar, Gropp Among T-Birds Forwards On NHL Watch List
The NHL Central Scouting department released its November Watch List for 2015 Entry Draft eligible prospects who are displaying the skills that may warrant selection. In addition to center Mathew Barzal who was given an "A" grade, Seattle forwards Ryan Gropp and Keegan Kolesar were tagged with "B" grades. T-Birds defenseman Ethan Bear received a "C" grade.
Thunderbirds Return Home Looking To Find Consistency
Seattle (9-10-2-1) returns home for six of its next seven games after a 2-4 road swing through the Eastern Conference. The trip started off well enough with a 6-2 win over Prince Albert, only to end with losses in four of the final five games.
Kozun, Hickman Lead Seattle To Shootout Win Over Red Deer
Kozun posted 37 saves and Justin Hickman scored both regulation goals as well as the lone shootout marker to lead the Thunderbirds to an important win as it heads on a 11-day, six-game road trip through the Eastern Conference.
Giants' Reserve Goalie Comes Up Large In Shutout Win Over Thunderbirds
In spite of 38 shots on goal, Seattle could not put a puck past Vancouver (7-8) goaltender Cody Porter in a 1-0 loss to a Giants squad that entered with a four-game losing streak. Vancouver's Alec Baer scored the decisive goal, beating Taran Kozun at 12:46 of the third period.
Thunderbirds Drill Oil Kings 5-2
Barzal, the T-Birds leading scorer, had a goal and an assist, Pederson had two goals and Scott Eansor two assists to lead Seattle's scoring in its win over the reigning Memorial Cup Champions. Pederson's goals were the rookie's first of his Western Hockey League career.
Seattle Snaps Four-Game Losing Streak With First Home Win Of Season
The Thunderbirds snapped a four-game losing streak Friday night by beating U.S. Division rival Spokane 5-3 in front of 3,454 at the ShoWare Center. A second-period Mathew Barzal goal opened the floodgates for a Seattle team that was struggling to score.
Bounces Go Blazers Way As Seattle Drops Fourth Straight
The Thunderbirds concluded a trying run of four games in five nights with their fourth consecutive loss, a 5-4 overtime defeat at the hands of Kamloops.

This plugin allows to give customized items on join, each one execute a command. This is useful for lobby servers, for example. You can set a permission to receive the item, and you can add infinite items. At the moment is really small, but I'm planning to add more features. Note that the user will receive the item on join, no matter if he was new, or if he stored the item.
You can use this plugin with Chest Commands GUI that allows you to create menus made of items, and each one executes a command.
- Give items on join, to people with correct permission.
- If a player already owns the item, it does not give a duplicate.
- Give items on respawn (configurable)
- Prevent items from being dropped, even on death.
Commands and permissions
/cji reload - reloads the plugin
/cji update - updates the plugin
The permission is "customjoinitems.admin".
In the plugin's folder you find a file named items.yml:
# This is just an internal name, must not be the same of another. first-item: id: 352 # (REQUIRED) The ID of the material. name: '&aTest item' # (REQUIRED) The custom name of the item (with formatting codes). data-value: 0 # This is optional. Can be used for colored wool, and other items # with data values. cooldown-seconds: 5 # This prevents command spam. command: 'say Hello world' # The command bound to this item. It will be executed when the item # is right clicked. # There are some prefixes that can give extra functionalities to # commands: # # 'console: ' (execute the command as console) # 'op: ' (execute the command as op) # 'server: ' (for BungeeCord) # 'tell: ' (sends a message to the player) # # You can use symbols and the placeholders %player% and %world%. # # Use multiple commands like this: 'command; command2; command3' lore: - 'Line 1' - 'Line 2' - '...' # The lore of the item (with formatting codes and symbols support). block-movement: false # This prevents players from moving the item at all. slot: 9 # If omitted, the item will be placed in the first empty slot. # If set, the item will attempt to place in that hotbar's slot, # and it will move any existing item that is in that slot, # if there's enough space in the inventory. permission: 'customjoinitems.test' # The item required to obtain the item on join. If not set, # everyone will get the item. first-join-only: false # (default = false) # If true, the player will get the item only when they join # the server the first time. # NOTE: give-at-respawn will automatically be set to false, # if this node is true. give-at-respawn: true # (default = true) # If set to true, the player will receive the item when he dies # and respawn. allow-drop: false # (default = false) # Allows players to drop the item. give-on-world-change: false # (default = false) # The plugin will eventually give the item to the players when they # change world. # Useful if you have Multiverse or similar plugins. disabled-worlds: world_nether, world_the_end # a list of disabled worlds separated by commas. If you don't want to # disable an item in some worlds, remove this node or set it to ''.

This plugin uses Metrics-Lite, to track anonymous data about servers using this plugin. It will help the future developement, and has no impact on your server's performance. If you really want to disable it, go to the folder /plugins/PluginMetrics and set opt-out: true.
You can use "/cji update" in-game to automatically update the plugin. You can disable the update checking at startup by setting update-notifications: false in config.yml.
Future features
- Restrict crafting and storing items
- Add right or left click options
- Add cooldown bypass for admins, through a permisison
- Add enchantments
- Add books
Add per-world config
- Command to get an item

Hey guys just found out something i know that a few people including me have suggested that the author put a Wait: variable in the plug well until he does you can use this plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/commandoverride/Command Override It let's you make your own commands and as you can see in the prictures you can have a wait thing and as the gui exits after the command is done like to exit the menu just set an item without a command you can use these commands and the gui will close and that will probably take about 1 second so then the next gui would open! :D mew

Hello, I have a problem. Everything is right, i gave the perms, i editted the items.yml right. But when players join they don't get the items, when they do /kill they get the items. So for me it's pretty bad cause i have a hub server and every time you join the hub you need to do /kill. That is really frustrating.

Follow up on my Ghost's.
EvowrexApril 2, 2014
Hey there.
I posted my ghost peppers a while ago, about 4 days ago they started ripening. Here's what they look like now. (The one that looks red, isnt red. It's a dark orange but the top is red, my phone's camera has a problem with redness.
Let me know if everything looks alright, or if something's wrong.
I will post more photos in the comments!
Thanks guys.
DMForcier(8 DFW)
I'd leave it on or pull it and try to let it ripen more fully inside. Even if the rot at the spot starts to spread you will still have a lot of meat to use or dry.
Or pop it in the fridge to delay both ripening and rotting.
When there are so few pods you accept pods that you wouldn't were you flush / overwhelmed with them.

Dr. C. Everett Koop: His 5 Most Principled Stands
Posted By Patrick Kiger On February 26, 2013 @ 10:03 am In Legacy | No Comments
If you walked down the street offering $5 to any passerby who could name the present U.S. surgeon general, chances are that you'd probably end up keeping your money and buying a Starbucks venti latte. But Dr. C. Everett Koop, who died on Feb. 25 at age 96 in New Hampshire, never had that problem in serving as President Reagan's surgeon general from 1981 to 1989.
Maybe it was the flamboyant chin beard, the one that made Koop look like an Abraham Lincoln impersonator gone gray, or how distinctive he looked in a white short-sleeve uniform shirt and epaulets. As surgeon generals go, Koop was straight out of central casting. But at the same time, he carried himself with the dignity befitting a renowned pediatric surgeon who'd twice performed groundbreaking procedures to separate conjoined twins, and he wasn't afraid to use his air of gravitas to champion controversial positions and to push back against the intrusion of politics into medical ethics.
Indeed, Koop will be remembered not just for his colorful persona, but for the tough, principled stands that he took on important issues, both during and after his time in government. Here are five of them:
Here's a 2010 interview in which Koop talks about his battle to overcome political inertia and fight the AIDs epidemic.

The above map looks at what is known as ceilings. The definition of ceilings is the first broken or overcast layer of cloud cover in the atmosphere. For it to be considered a ceiling the clouds need to cover more than half of the sky. If we look at the red circled area we see the numbers of 1 and 2. This tells us that there is a ceiling at 1,000-2,000ft which are in the level of low clouds such as cumulus or stratus. The second is the black circle found in the Dakota's. Here we are...

They really are awesome - but then again, when you're selling a case and holster that costs about $2 to produce for $30+, I'm sure it doesn't cost them anything at all to be awesome and helpful.
Just a followup, I just got my item from otterbox today and I sure WAS not expecting them to send an ENTIRE defender case in the box (Which they did) after I just asked for a holster.Not that I am complaining, it was just a pleasant surprise.I suppose it is easier for them to ship out a new case rather than ship out the individual parts for it.
Would have been funny if this one was missing it's holster as well!

Why not enter some details and get an accurate price?
Tame your wild side with a good night's kip at the hush and hidden-away Ashbourne Woods, where your inner Bear Grylls can be unleashed until your heart's content (or at least until it's time to go home). Wild camping but with all the amenities any 21st-century camper will happily accept, Ashbourne Woods is a popular pick for Pitchuppers.
Back-to-basics campers be warned - you may need to be pegged down after expelling all your excitement at the prospect of staying at this wild wonder. As if 68 acres of woodland wasn't enough, you can choose a proper 'wild' camping pitch option where you can leave the car behind (well, at the safety of the main site as wild camping pitches can only be reached on foot, no vehicles allowed), trek through the forest and enjoy your own secluded, electricity-free camping experience, topped off with the chance to build your own campfire (you can buy firewood from the site). For those looking for a social rather than solitary getaway, the main camping area has a shared fridge for essentials and a communal fire to get those marshmallows toasting on together. No need for lines to stay between here: this rural site fits around its the growing and changing forest, so you can pick your own pitch to camp on within the areas set out by the helpful and friendly owners.
For those who don't wish to go totally au naturale, you needn't let the dirt get you down by using the washing machine and tumble dryer on site (you'll need £1 coins for these), and the facilities which include showers, loos and a washing-up area, all with hot running water.
Ashbourne Woods has a spacious bell tent, camping pod with electricity and even a two-bedroom static caravan for those of a more mild than wild disposition. Pups are barking up the right tree at Ashbourne Woods too - they're welcome across the site and accommodation types, and the two and a half miles of dog-walking tracks nearby really make a stay for pooches here anything but ruff.

(2 nights)
Party:2 adults
It's now possible to make group bookings on Pitchup.com for up to 30 adults and 30 children.
As long as the 'one unit per pitch' rule is not highlighted on the pitch type information (please check this before completing your booking), you will be able to pitch your tents together on one booking.
If you are not satisfied with the results generated, try breaking your booking down for more options. For example, if you're a group of 10, enter five people for your initial search and book two pitches. Use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together when booking multiple pitches or accommodation units: the campsite or park will try to grant your request.
Before booking, please check the listing page for any group restrictions. These normally appear in a section titled 'Please note'. Please also check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit - especially for a large party - is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

In the first show of the new season, Jack takes a leisurely ride in the Welsh Borders with Ned Boulting, one of the faces of ITV's coverage of the Tour de France. They discuss Ned's new book "On the Road Bike: the Search for a Nation's Cycling Soul", an engaging and ideosyncratic history of British bike racing.
How Britain Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Bike Racing
Eileen Sheridan: The Mighty Atom
Land's End to John O'Groats is a classic cycle touring route. But it was also the blue riband distance among the long distance record-breaking heyday of the 1930s to the 1960s. In 1954 Eileen Sheridan, a diminutive cyclist from Coventry sponsored by the huge Hercules Bicycle Company, set a new record that stood for decades. Now 89, Eileen recounts a truly epic journey and tells the story of how she became one of the best-known, and best-paid, cyclists in Britain.
Podcast special: Did Cycling Kill Kraftwerk?
On the eve of Kraftwerk's eight night residency at the Tate Modern, Jack is joined by David Buckley, music writer and author of a new biography of the German electronic pop pioneers. Among the revelations in his book is evidence that a serious obsession with cycling contributed to the slowing of the band's musical output in the 1980s and, ultimately, the break-up of the group's classic line-up. Jack and David talk about Kraftwerk's journey from experimental music-making to the pinnacle of influence over pop, rock, hip-hop and dance music as well as their love affair with riding their bikes.
Podcast Special: The Gospel According to St Grant
Grant Petersen thinks most cyclists need to 'unrace themselves', that is to say, stop following what professional racing cyclists do. Instead we should all ride more comfortable bikes in more comfortable clothes and be more relaxed about the whole experience. He's written a book called Just Ride and, in an extended interview, he tells Jack Thurston exactly what he means. Grant Petersen is a highly regarded bicycle designer, formerly of Bridgestone USA and founder and owner of Rivendell Bicycle Works in northern California.
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.
Bicycle Polo, Cosmic-style
Bicycle polo has been played for more than a century but the 'hard court' variety is a relatively new, urban development. Todd, Mat and Rupert of London's Cosmic Bike Polo team (pictured, above) explain how the sport came about, how it has developed in its short history and how bike polo players are pursuing a […]
Podcast special: Lionel Birnie's People's Grand Tour
On the eve of the summer edition of the People's Grand Tour, Jack goes for a spin around the back lanes of rural Hertfordshire with cycling journalist Lionel Birnie, a regular guest on The Bike Show, who writes about professional bike racing for the Sunday Times and Cycle Sport magazine. The People's Grand Tour is open to anyone willing to commit to riding at least ten days over a 23 day period, starting this Saturday 11 August. It's free to enter and a great way of increasing the amount of riding you're doing.

What is eating my babies?
letsharmonize(USDA 5/2B Western)May 14, 2013
in the White Mountains ...
someone suggested slugs.
since both leaves and flowers are eaten, it could be.
but the baby grasshoppers (you can see one on the biggest flower) are EVERYWHERE.
the reason i'm doubting slugs, is because i have a bed of petunias across the sidewalk from this bed, and in my past experience (coastal south) ... slugs just LOVE petunias, and eat them down to the soil line! but not a ONE of my petunias have been nibbled on!
if you have any input, i'd appreciate it ... including how to treat the problem!
thanks fellow gardeners!

GinnyTrcka asked a question over on one of the swap threads about hardy ferns, and to keep the info separate, and to keep that already long thread from getting a lot longer, Im going to post the information here!
I LOVE fernsÂespecially hardy ones!
Most of the genus Dryopteris ferns are hardy, and many of them are referred to a "wood ferns," and look a lot like what youÂd most often find growing wild. One of the common names for Dryopteris marginalis is Eastern wood fern, and it looks exactly like something youÂd find growing out "in the woods!"
Dryopteris filix-mas, male fern, is another one that looks like a stereotypical fern!
So far I have Dryopteris erythrosora, autumn fern, which I love because the new fronds are a pretty bronze color when they start, and then they turn green as they mature. But as long as there are new fronds growing out, you get that pretty bronzy look! Autumn fern was one of my "gotta haves!"
Another "pretty" one is Athyrium nipponicum, Japanese painted fern, which has silvery-green fronds with red highlightsÂespecially on the stems, and there are now varieties, as I understand it, that have very red stems! I have the originalÂso far!
I also have a Matteucia struthiopteris, ostrich fern. Got that one at a box store as a root in a baggie with a little bit of peat moss! It was $3.00! (Fern plants are usually higher priced that the other perennials at garden centers, BTW) Ostrich ferns are supposed to be invasive, but mineÂs been in since spring of Â07 and I sure havenÂt had any problem yet! ItÂs the clay factor, I assume! It comes back every year, but it really isnÂt a whole lot bigger than it was the first year! They get big/tall (3' or more), and are more "bowl shaped," but mine hasnÂt gotten big enough yet to see the "bowl!"
And I have a leatherwood/Eastern wood, Dryopteris marginalis, which I also got "in a baggie" for $3.40! It hasnÂt done much either, but all my ferns are up already, and I have high hopes for this year! (I am a little bit worried about the next couple nites since some of the "uncurling" fronds are already 6" high! I pushed a little more mulch around the bottoms, but the tops are still sticking outÂand theyÂre on their own!) This one looks like an everyday, ordinary fern, and would be good for use in flower arrangementsÂif it ever gets big enough! (Different from the leatherleaf ferns used by florists!)
I also bought a cinnamon fern in a baggie, but it died the first winter. After looking up more info online, tho, I didnÂt really care that much that it had died! The "big brown things" that stick up (actually, the fertile fronds) looked pretty in the picture on the package when I got it, but I found some "real" pictures online that were downright uglyÂIMO!
I definitely still want to get a maidenhair, Adiantum pedatumÂI love the delicacy. And IÂll probably eventually get one of the "newer," brighter Japanese painted ferns. And after that IÂll probably getÂanything I run into thatÂs interestingÂthat I can afford! I canÂt really think of any I wouldnÂt like to at least try
Some are evergreen and some are deciduous! And theyÂll ALL do better if you improve the soil with a LOT of peat or other really good, loose, well-draining organic matter. Tho you may want to keep it on the clay-y side for the ones that are supposed to be aggressive/invasive! Natural invasion control! ;-)
Here are a couple really good hardy fern sites. Start with this one, which is a quick reference for height and hardiness, and then you can check them out more here once you know the Latin name!
And hereÂs a list of ones you should be able to find locally at PaulinoÂs, and probably TimberlineÂand probably any other "real" garden center! (Some of these come in multiple varieties that are slightly different from each other!)
Adiantum pedatum - maidenhair
Athyrium nipponicum - Japanese painted
Athyrium filix-femina - lady fern
Dryopteris erythrosora - Autumn Fern
Dryopteris filix-mas - male fern
Dryopteris marginalis - leatherwood fern, Eastern wood fern
Matteucia struthiopteris - ostrich fern
Osmunda cinnamomea - cinnamon fern
Osmunda regalis - royal fern
Polystichum acrostichoides - Christmas fern
You can, as I did, find some types of bare root ferns at the big box stores in spring, and if you do that, go thru the packages "feeling" the root to find the biggest one you can get! And be sure they havenÂt been sitting out in the hot sun somewhere! As with anything else, plant wise, that you buy at a BB store, consider the conditions in which itÂs been kept up until the time you find it!
ThatÂs a start! If you have any questions, let me know. I may or may not be able to answer them!
When I was up in Waterton Provincial Park (Glacier/Waterton, Montana/Alberta) a few years ago, I collected spores from some ferns that were growing up there, and some day I hope to start them. Also have spores from some of the ones we had for sale when I was working in the green industry. Way back in the late 60's I did actually successfully start some (tender) ferns from spores I got from Parks! It was fascinating to watch them develop!
Any other Fern Fanatics around here?
P.S. Wish I had some pictures to post, but mine still haven't been big enough to bother taking pics of! Hope to get some this year!
I like ferns, but I've had terrible luck with them. The one that ended up doing the best, was also one that I think is just an amazing looker: Japanese Painted Fern. The one I had, had almost silvery foliage with the dark, purpley center.
I'd like to try an ostrich fern again, but the last time I tried it, I had bare-roots that I planted, but the fern never showed :(
Wow--thanks for all then names--I'm going to print it and carry it in my car. You never know what you're going to find at the big box. I've seen so many plants that I know are definitely not hardy that I haven't wanted to invest in ferns. We ammended tons of soil last fall and I'm ready to start adding plants! It's still only a tiny fraction of what I would like to do, but if I can fill my current beds then just continue expanding out into the woodlands with future divisions. I have lots of patience, but don't think I could raise ferns from spores--seems like it would be hard.
Skybird - I'm so glad you started this thread. I've been trying to get more variety in my shade areas & looking at all the photos online of other peoples gardens, I really wanted some ferns. So, I bought a dozen of them from Springhill this year - received them a few weeks ago & potted them up.
While I was waiting for my order it occured to me that ferns may not do good in Colorado, so was wondering how I would get them to survive. I have a bad habit of planting things in the wrong place just because I like them. But it sounds like most should do OK here...that's great news. I'll read up more on the links you posted & hopefully get mine to do well. Some are showing there curly little heads now so I'm hopeful...

For those of you who may want to try them, the more organic matter you have in the soil, the more likely they are to do well. When you find them growing naturally, and walk into the area where theyre growing, youll usually find the soil is soft and almost spongy from all the debris thats decomposed around them over the years. Now theres no way were ever going to get that kind of soil in our yards, but adding a lot of organic matter will really improve your odds of success. And then theres the lite factor! With our high altitude sun, they should be kept completely out of anything even approximating "midday" sun! The only midday sun that might work would be if its HEAVILY filtered thru a tree or bush. Intermittent midday sun wouldnt work because the sunny "half" of the intermittent would burn them. So shade or heavily filtered sun, or some early morning or late afternoon direct sun will work.
Mine are against the north side of a two-story hours. The only direct sun they get is the early morning and late afternoon type, and they seem to like the conditions.
So put them in some pretty good soil, with bright indirect lite or the right sun conditions, keep them moist to wet all the timethey WAY do not like dry soiland they really shouldnt be that hard to grow.
Mine are all up and looking good this year, but they really havent gotten much bigger than when they were first put in because I didnt have any "good" compost yet, and they were planted in way too much clay. When I have time I want to dig each of them up, mix in LOTS of my yummy homegrown compost, and replant them, but I dont know when Ill get around to itand the ostrich fernthat one, I think, is gonna stay in the clay!
You CAN grow ferns out here, and I dont know what the genus and species are, but they do grow wild out in the hills. Years ago up near Steamboat I saw huge fields of them one time, and Ive seen them other places too.

Analysts predicted that tech giant Apple will release the next generation of iPhone around June 29.
According to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, Apple will release the next generation iPhone in June this year.
The analyst believes that after launching the next iPhone model, Cupertino should be able to sell about 4 million units, taking into account that the iPhone 5 sold 5 million during the launch weekend.
He also predicted that the handset will come with a faster processor, an improved camera and even new software features and "an outside chance" to have NFC capabilities.
Following the iPhone 6, Apple will release a budget smartphone dubbed as the iPhone 5S, with a price of $250, as predicted by Munster.
According to the latest rumour, Apple's supply chain will start shipping the components for the iPhone 5S at the end of May, so the next generation smartphone will likely have a chance of showing up in the third quarter, reports Digitimes. The smartphone is speculated to be released with the fifth generation of Apple's iPad.
Last week, Amit Daryanani of RBC Capital Markets made a similar prediction that suggests June or July are set for the launch date of the iPhone 5S and the low-cost model.
Apple is expected to include an improved camera in the iPhone 6 and/or iPhone 5S which is rumoured to be capable of taking "Super HD" pictures. In order to take snaps at that resolution it'll need to have at least a 13 mega-pixel camera.
The lack of NFC support on the iPhone 5 was one of the biggest criticisms aimed at Apple's smartphone. Rumours suggest that the iPhone 5S could include support for the contact-less technology which can be used to pay for items in retail stores. Other features rumoured to be included in the handset is the A7 quad core chip processor, Retina or IGZO screen display among others.

I have many large 20-25 feet scrub oak trees on my property. I would like to thin and prune them from the tops in order for them to look like the lower scrub oak I have seen in the area, about 10-15 feet. How low can I cut them from their tops without injuring them and what is the best time of year to do so?
Rate This FAQ
The best way to prune a tree that has grown out of its space and is too tall is to use a method called crown reduction or drop crotch pruning. This method is preferred over topping or pollarding because it is healthier for the tree and the tree keeps a more natural appearance. When making the pruning cuts you want to cut back to lateral branches that are at least 1/3 of the diameter of the limb that is being removed. Once you have identified which branches you want to remove you will want to follow these steps:
With the first cut, make a notch on the side of the stem away from the branch to be retained, well above the branch crotch.
- Begin the second cut inside the branch crotch, staying well above the branch bark ridge, and cut through the stem above the notch.
- Cut the remaining stub just inside the branch bark ridge through the stem parallel to the branch bark ridge.
This method of pruning will help make sure that you do not damage stem tissue when removing the branch. As with all types of pruning you want to avoid flush cuts, cutting the branch off flush with the trunk and stub cuts, leaving a short stub of the branch on the tree. Both flush cuts and stubs can contribute to increased stress and disease in your trees.
For most trees the best time to prune is when they are dormant. Fall is the most common time to prune trees. Pruning trees during this time will allow you to see the structure of the tree and help you decide where you will make pruning cuts. This will also reduce the chance of spreading diseases and excessive sap flow.
You can find more information, including illustrations of proper cuts and definitions of pruning terms, by following this link to the USDA Forest Service guide on how to prune trees. http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/howtos/ht_prune/htprune.pdf

Spring Breaks Devon
You don't have to wait until the summer to enjoy the best of what South Devon has to offer. The sheltered position and mild climate of the English Riviera means that the region is the perfect destination at any time of year. Spring in South Devon is particularly beautiful, when the region bursts into a vibrant tapestry of colour. Spring also tends to come early to this sheltered part of the country, and from early April onwards the weather is warm, sunny and mild.
Out of season breaks
Spring in South Devon also gives you a chance to enjoy the delights of the region without battling the crowds. Great transport links to the rest of the country and Europe mean that destinations like Torquay, Brixham, Paignton and Babbacombe are accessible all year round. Because the region is protected by Dartmoor to the north west, the English Riviera enjoys a microclimate that means even the early days of spring are milder than in the rest of the country. This gives you a perfect opportunity to explore the great outdoors and discover bluebell woods, carpets of crocuses and a host of other glorious sights. The region is perfect for those who love outdoor activities, and for water sports lovers the sea is warm enough for a dip from April onwards.
Off peak accommodation
Unlike many other 'seasonal' regions, the English Riviera is a year round destination. The vast majority of our award-winning accommodation, hotels and self-catering welcome visitors throughout the year, with many offering off-peak deals that make the English Riviera a real value-for-money destination. Choose from luxury modern apartments overlooking the pretty towns of Torquay, Babbacombe or Brixham or a traditional Devon self-catering cottage complete with thatched roof and a garden full of spring flowers.

Fromagerie Mont Royal Tradition
Bleu de Berger600 feet above sea level, at the base of "Napoleon's Nose" in Basque country, you'll find Fromagerie Mont Royal Tradition where this firm raw sheep's milk tomme is made. The recipe started off as an attempt to replicate Roquefort, but resulted in a much milder paste with smooth, fruity notes, not without some distinct sheepiness. Its closest relative is Ossau Iraty Vielle, another of the region's traditional natural rind, sheep tommes. The cheese's fruity aspects are fittingly paired with Black Cherry Confit and some of the region's fruitier rosés. Read More

Roelli Cheese Haus
Dunbarton BlueFourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth. The result is Dunbarton Blue, a sort of blue-veined cheddar that's potent yet approachable. In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face. A unique and fantastic cheese from a true American cheesemaking family. Read More

Engine Empire
Engine Empire is a trilogy of lyric and narrative poems that evoke an array of genres and voices, from Western ballads to sonnets about industrialized China to fragmented lyric poems set in the future. Through three distinct yet interconnected sequences, Cathy Park Hong explores the collective consciousness of fictionalized boomtowns in order to explore the myth of prosperity. The first sequence, called "Ballad of Our Jim," draws inspiration from the Old West and follows a band of outlaw fortune seekers who travel to a California mining town during the 1800s. In the second sequence, "Shangdu, My Artful Boomtown!" a fictional industrialized boomtown draws its inspiration from present-day Shenzhen, China. The third and last section, "The World Cloud," is set in the far future and tracks how individual consciousness breaks up when everything--books, our private memories--becomes immediately accessible data. One of our most startlingly original poets, Hong draws together individual voices at odds with the world, voices that sing their wonder and terror.

It's Official: Peyton Reed to Direct 'Ant-Man'
UPDATED: Adam McKay will work on the script for the Marvel project, which lost its original director when Edgar Wright abruptly dropped out over creative differences in May.
It's official: Peyton Reed is the new director of Marvel's Ant-Man, while Anchorman helmer Adam McKay will work on the script.
The news was unveiled on Marvel's official website on Saturday.
After Edgar Wright abruptly left the project on May 23, Marvel launched into meetings with several helmers in hopes of quickly finding a replacement in order to get the film made by its July 17, 2015, release date.
STORY: THR's Summer Box-Office Forecast
Some of the names in consideration included McKay, Ruben Fleischer and Rawson Marshall Thurber. Later on, Peyton Reed and David Wain became frontrunners.
The film, which will star Paul Rudd in the lead role, also stars Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Pena, Corey Stoll and Patrick Wilson. Sources say that the single biggest thing Marvel is looking for is someone who can work with the talent already assembled.
Marvel also released a new synopsis for the film,which will follow con man Scott Lang (Rudd), who has the ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength. He must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
Reed has been planted firmly in the comedy world up to this point, helming Bring It On, Down With Love and The Break-Up. His most recent film, Yes Man, starred Jim Carrey as a man who decides to say "yes" to everything. It earned $223.2 million worldwide.
Reed is no stranger to the Marvel universe, having developed Fantastic Four at Fox for years before Tim Story took over the property, which launched two films under Story's direction. (Fantastic Four is now being rebooted.) He's repped by WME and Sloane Offer.
STORY: Director Edgar Wright Exits Marvel's 'Ant-Man'
McKay, best known for directing the Anchorman films where he worked with Rudd, was initially thought to be a contender for the director position, but it looks like he'll work on polishing the script for the project.
McKay just wrapped on the Will Ferrell-Kevin Hart comedy Get Hard, and produces with Ferrell via their Gary Sanchez Productions and the female-centric spinoff banner, Gloria Sanchez Productions. He is repped by WME.
Wright was originally attached to the Marvel project, but exited on May 23, citing "creative differences." Wright's exit is a shock since the filmmaker, who would have been one of the more unique voices in Marvel's pantheon of movie directors, has been with the project since its inception in 2006, and the split has occurred late in preproduction.
