10 Inspiring Gardens for Growing Food in Small Spaces
Are you starting a garden this spring? For the last several years, the only gardens we've been planting have been in containers. But growing food in containers shouldn't be a drawback; urban gardening in pots, containers, and windowboxes can yield quite a lot of food. Take a look at this gallery of ten different containers and good ideas for gardening in small spaces.
• 1 NYC Garden from Flickr member Tashian. Is there a more perfect shot of a city garden happily thriving in the sun while the world rushes by underneath?
• 2 How to grow veggies in pots at Sunset. A great introduction to growing vegetables in pots. Also see their article on the best crops for pots.
• 3 Cauliflower! by Flickr member LollyKnit. Container gardening doesn't just mean tiny peppers and cherry tomatoes. How about a whole cauliflower?
• 4 An urban garden box by Flickr member Yozza. What a great container garden design! There is a deep box for larger vegetables to dig their roots deep, then smaller boxes for greens, and a top box with a trellis for climbing beans and tomatoes.
• 5 Easy-grow micro greens at Sunset. Another good guide to growing easy baby greens, which are often ready to eat in as little as ten days.
• 6 Baby kale inside by Flickr member briannaorg. This is an impressive little experiment. Brianna threw a few kale seeds into a bare 1" of dirt and less than a month later had enough baby kale for a salad. And this was indoors...in February! Never underestimate kale. You can see more about her indoor gardening projects at her blog.
• 7 Beautifying a concrete corner from Flickr member treefell. Look what a few flowers and herbs can do to an otherwise drab urban concrete alley.
• 8 Self-watering containers by Flickr member Sugar Pond. Step-by-step instructions on making a self-watering container out of a few inexpensive objects. Watering creates a lot of extra work with containers, since they can't draw up water from the earth, and they often have to be protected from rain that could flood them. Self-watering containers help them get water more naturally and with less work.
• 9 Scarlet runner beans growing UP by Flickr member Strata Chalup. When you have a small space, go up instead, and you'll be amazed at how much you can grow. If you have a sunny patio or deck, put up a trellis against one wall, or create an inexpensive version with nylon cord strung taut between screws or hooks in the floor and pergola.
• 10 Romaines on a deck by Flickr member liza31337. Leaf lettuces grow very quickly and in little space. If you succession plant, sowing seeds every week in a few different planters, you'll create a supply of greens that will be ready in a steady stream all summer. Greens like these are also good for sheltered decks or patios that don't get much sun, since lettuce doesn't like a lot of heat and will grow better during the summer in cool shade.
Do you have any plans for a container garden this summer?

these are absolutely inspirational--now i'm going to have to plant pattypan squashes. what a great idea!
gives me lots of hope for my container garden... we had our first salad on Earth Day: http://sustainablediet.blogspot.com/2009/04/earth-day.html
That picture makes me long for my old New York apartment, where the containers that inhabited my fire escape grew random seedlings that were blown in by the wind. And the Hatch Show Print schmatte on the fire escape in the picture taunts me, because I live in Nashville (home of Hatch) now, with no such space for a mini-garden. is that irony?
How illegal is that first garden on the fire escape?? That goes a little too far past "window sill" gardening for me. I might be paranoid, but fires do happen!
We're giving our porch container garden another go this year. Last year it was sabotaged by a ruthless squirrel.
Marie, I totally agree. Let's hope the fire escape isn't quite as crowded as it looks from that one photo. :/
We're lucky to have a loft on the highest floor with a skylight that provides a lot of light. We have purple / green basil, mint, jalapeno / habanero peppers, cherry / regular tomatoes and other spices growing inside our place so there's no need to worry about insects and animals. http://megramey.blogspot.com/2009/04/making-our-nest.html
Lettuces are great to grow indoors. I plan on starting a little lettuce container soon! These are all great for small spaces, but the unfortunate apartment dweller who doesn't even have a door to the outside still must garden indoors.
We literally just planted three pots of veggies on our porch. Carrots, cucumber and okra. Should be interesting :)
my seedlings are growing, but i started late, so they aren't ready for the big self watering containers outside yet. Redskin dwarf red pepper plants, snow peas, dwarf cherry tomatoes, and probably basil this year.
These are nice. I'm documenting my container garden adventure at http://the6x8garden.blogspot.com
So far, so good. The weather just needs to dry up (it's rained the last 4/5 days and supposed to rain the rest of the week) and warm up!
I grow a few herbs every summer and just planted mint and basil over the weekend. This year, I am using a 16-inch plastic window box tucked in an out-of-the-way corner of my fire escape (yes, I know it's still not a great idea). In the past, I had one of those plastic caddies people typically use for cleaning supplies (Michael Graves for Target). It actually worked really well – I could grab it by the handle to drag it closer to the window sill and it was perfectly sized for my miniature sink (if I wanted to give the herbs a good soak). However, the caddy cracked while wintering on the fire escape and Target no longer sells the design.
I just planted herbs in pots and a few pepper plants. Now, after seeing the pictures, I am also planning on some lettuce and microgreens. The great thing about container gardens on the balcony: insects and animals don't get to them as readily.
I have a balcony. This year I am expanding from flowers, a few herbs, and 1 tomato plant to more flowers, more herbs, several tomato plants, an eggplant & a bunch of chili peppers. A neighbor told me he had successfully grown runner beans (like the photo). I'm on the 12th floor, facing west, and we get a lot of wind. I invested in 3 "railing" boxes and a tomato frame this year. Clay pots (I have a bunch I brought back from living in Mexico a few years ago and am hanging on to them as long as I can).
I thought the planter boxes w/ trellis were inspirational.
Happy growing (and cooking), everyone.
Planting herbs is especially easy if you use a many tiered flower pot. Just plant a different kind of herb in each of the little ledges. They even have small ones that fit on your window - that's what I have! :)
Yes, I have one going in Tribeca!!! http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&w=58798532%40N00&q=tribeca plant&m=text
Help I have no balcony or patio. I need to plan an indoor container vegetable garden, I have 8 feet of windows facing south!
Thirding the "how legal is that fire escape garden" question. Because I was always told they weren't.
(Of course, the only access to the fire escape in my current apartment is my roommate's bedroom, and it wouldn't quite fly for me to be trooping in and out of his room all the time...)
91styale: check out http://www.windowfarms.org/
I've always been blown away by how fun growing things can be. Now in NYC without even a balcony, I'm limited to herb pots on window sills. But, even these make the house seem brighter and more inviting.
I'm loving all of those links as I'm trying to grow some veggies in containers myself.
Very inspirational! I have a decent sized balcony, on which I have planted some flowers, herbs and chard. But it faces north and every gardener tells me that veggies need full/most-day sun. Any hints for other foods that I could plant? The chard is doing okay, albeit growing slowly...and I am considering spinach or something else not so 'fruit' intensive'. The balcony gets a couple hours of sun in the morning and a couple in the evening.
thanks to my green-thumbed Sig-O we have an amazing balcony garden! succulents, herbs,, peppers, tomatoes, flowers... its really very lovely and so relaxing! which there was more space to put chairs and enjoy the "garden". can't wait to make homegrown salsa!
I love growing stuff and like most apartment dwellers I lack a garden. I have begun to hijack the flower bed and noone seems to have noticed! Www.Apartmentfarmer.wordpress.com
My balcony which is huge faces north so I have only a limited number of veggies I can grow. I also have a ongoing battle with squirrels that seem to know the exactly when I'm not home and help themselves. But I'm not giving up. This year I'll be using chicken wire to keep those varmints out.
Love, love, love articles like these. People need to know how much growing is possible in the city. I give urban homesteading and small-space growing tips like these on my blog (below), but one thing I'll add right now is this: make friends with your neighbors (and landlords!) If you're generous with the produce, they may occasionally let you use their space, too, and they'll be a little more understanding when some vines and things get out of control.
I've also seen hanging gardens..
herbs and veggies from what used to be a see thru, plastic postcard-wall ;-) .. just make some small holes in the sides.. the plants will find a way!
Or stack halve bottles and containers: http://containergardening.wordpress.com/
Please also check this inspiring work.. http://www.seedsforfood.org/
for when you eat veggies&fruits, you have a good chance of collecting loads of seeds welcome for loads of folks (think also: Greece with their current economical crisis)
Love, Seeds

Considering that lease-related expenses are often one of the largest expenses a company incurs, companies should feel confident they are receiving the true value of their lease. If not detected, miscalculations and improper accounting can cost a company millions of dollars over the life of a lease.
With extensive real estate accounting, finance and property management experience, our professionals help clients determine whether their lease related expenses have been appropriately charged in accordance with their specifically negotiated lease provisions. Following a carefully designed and honed inspection process, we analyze the lease, landlord accounting records, and as necessary, perform a property tour, resulting in a well-documented report of potential issues. As appropriate, our Real Estate Consulting professionals will also assist in the negotiation of potential overcharges.
Throughout the entire process, we strive to maintain, and in many cases strengthen, the landlord-tenant relationship. We focus on our clients' leases, so they can focus on their business.
Lease audits are contract compliance engagements whereby the goal is to ensure that all lease charges are in compliance with the lease.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (October 23, 2010)—Although Hollywood Park is still committed to the long term success of night racing, the Oak Tree Racing Association has switched the final Thursday evening card of its meet to the afternoon.
Acting on the suggestion of the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC) that consideration be given to racing Thursday afternoon instead of at night, Oak Tree decided to move post time on Thursday, Oct. 28 from 7:05 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Post time remains 7:05 p.m. Friday, Oct. 29. The last night program of the inaugural Oak Tree at Hollywood Park meet will serve as a kickoff to closing weekend and will feature a Jace Everett concert after the races.
When Hollywood Park begins its 31-day Autumn meet on Thursday, Nov. 4, post time will also be 7:05 p.m. There will be day racing Friday, Nov. 5 in conjunction with the first of two Breeders' Cup programs from Churchill Downs.
Hollywood Park's opening night features a post-race concert by the extremely popular reggae band Steel Pulse.
"We believe there is a need for tracks to continue to experiment with night racing in that racing may not be able to continue to put on its show when most people work,'' said Hollywood Park president Jack Liebau. "While attendance on Thursday nights has been higher than Thursday afternoons, it was not as high as we hoped it would be.
"We believe that with adequate time for promotion, which was not available for this Oak Tree meet, night racing will prove to be successful.''
Sherwood Chillingworth, Oak Tree's director and executive vice-president, said he was receptive to the TOC's suggestion.
"We experimented with Thursday night racing to encourage attendance by a new, younger fan base,'' said Chillingworth. "It takes time to make the public aware of a change such as this and, unfortunately, the weather has not cooperated.''

Through a strange convergence of events, I stood alone in the hospital room on that cold December night in utter panic, with no one else but a nurse in the room telling me that I would have to deliver my son. Trying desperately to conceal my panic, I pleaded for instructions on what I needed to do, and was coached as I delivered my son. In that moment, as I stood there holding that precious, fragile child, I knew that I would never be the same. I knew that I would dedicate my life to protecting and caring for that child and my wonderful wife who'd brought him into the world.
Over the next 17 years, my wife and I would bring seven more children into the world: three more sons, and four more daughters. I was with my wife for every minute of labor and delivery with each of my children, and even delivered three more of those children myself, two of them at home. Each time I held one of these, my beautiful children, as they took their first breath in this world, tears of gratitude streamed down my cheeks as I thanked God for entrusting me with another of His children during their stay here upon the Earth that He has created. Each one of these children has been such a blessing in my life, as well as my greatest challenge.
Marriage, and the resulting fatherhood, has been a case study in contradictions for me. It is both the most difficult and most rewarding thing I have ever done. The greatest extremes of emotion, from joy to sadness to frustration to peace, have all occurred within the walls of my home. It has been a mystery to me how eight children raised in the same home by the same parents and under the same rules could all turn out so differently.
Elijah has always embraced his role as the oldest child, helping to watch over and guide and protect his brothers and sisters. He has always been good-hearted, and the thought of disappointing his mother was always more powerful than threats of punishment. He was his mother's protector and defender when I was away, and it has always given me comfort to know I could depend on him. Naomi, my oldest daughter, has always been confident and headstrong, determined to do things her way, and immovable once she made a decision. She has an absolute sense of right and wrong, and cannot be swayed by anyone.
Shai is my overachiever, a perfectionist who is driven to excel at everything she does. Like her older brother and sister, she has an unshakeable moral center, and she firmly stands for what is right, yet in a quiet way that somehow never comes across as judgmental. Noah is my middle child, with a witty, dry sense of humor, and jokes so subtle it often takes a few heartbeats to catch the clever meaning. He is a good boy by nature, in a way that I wish I had been at his age. He also has a depth of wisdom far beyond his years, which his playful, almost shy nature does not reveal unless you are in a calm setting with him.
Malachi is probably more like me than any of my children, for good and bad. He has my fiery temper when he feels that he or someone he cares for has been wronged, and he is quick to express his displeasure. On the other hand, he is fiercely loyal, and will do anything he can to help anyone who needs it, no matter how dirty the job, and he never goes looking for credit or accolades. He loves to laugh and takes pleasure in the simple things in life: family, friends, and enjoying the wonders of nature. His little brother Zeke is full of energy and laughter, and loves nothing more than to play and have fun. He's never met a stranger, and his laughter is infectious. I can't count how many times he's had the whole family in stitches, not because what he was laughing at was funny, but because there is something innately funny about watching someone laugh so hard that they may pass out or squirt milk out of their nose accidentally.
Mahalie is my little scholar. She started reading before she turned 4 years old, and has not stopped since. She loves telling about all of the things she has learned, and is fascinated with the world around her. Like Naomi, she has a bit of a headstrong streak in her, which is not necessarily a bad thing. She is an independent thinker, and will develop her character based on what she feels is right, not because of peer pressure. And then there is Echo, my youngest little princess. And I do mean princess. She rules the house and expects her wants and needs to be met by the rest of her family, or anybody who happens to be around. Yet she is also loving and sweet, with such concern for those who are sad or hurt. Most importantly, she is a huge daddy's girl who showers me with hugs and kisses and proclamations of her love for me … which is why I can't get mad when she pats my belly and tells me that I am getting "squishy."
In our society today, there is a war between two cultures: one being the traditional culture at the core of America's foundation and history, and a culture that has emerged over the last 50 years or so that rejects the precepts of our traditional culture. It is the latter culture which rejects the necessity of the nuclear family (married father and mother, plus children), and tells us that it is just one of many equally valid family constructs, where fathers are not critical to raising children. This segment of society minimizes or dismisses fathers, or portrays them, especially in the media, as inept oafs or philandering, irresponsible cads (I challenge you to think, off the top of your head, of even three TV fathers that are faithful, loving, kind and intelligent). Yet tradition and history show us that fathers are integral to raising happy, well-adjusted children. Study after study has shown that children with a father in the home do better in school, are less likely to be substance abusers, are less likely to engage in criminal activity, less likely to suffer from mental or emotional problems, and in general are happier and more balanced members of society.
There is one other thing that should be considered, and that is that men need to be fathers as much as children need them to be fathers. Men are by nature aggressive and self-focused. We focus on what we want and need. Yet marriage and children force us to consider the needs of others before our own. It teaches us kindness, patience, temperance, sacrifice and unconditional love; it smoothes down our hard, rough edges without making us soft.
Children need fathers, and to those men that have stayed faithful to their wives, who have been kind and loving fathers to your children, I congratulate you and testify that you have done more to strengthen society than an army of politicians and bureaucrats. It is your work, alongside your wife, that lays the foundation for the rising generation. It is you who are doing the greatest good. For those men who have abandoned your responsibilities, who have broken the tender hearts of your wives and children, I say, do better. God will hold you accountable.
And to my beloved wife, I say thank you for making me a father. I know that you and our children need me, but I also know that I need you just as much. Without you, my life has little meaning. I cherish the time I spend each day with you, whether those days resemble "Leave It to Beaver" or Ultimate Fighting Championship. It is a wild ride, but I would not trade it for anything.

World road champion Philippe Gilbert of the BMC Racing Team finished eighth on the grinding, uphill finish Sunday at the Vuelta a España while teammate Ivan Santaromita was 12th and climbed into the top 10 overall.
Good Teamwork All Day
Gilbert registered his third top 10 finish of the past four days by receiving a strong lead-out into the final kilometer of the 163.7-km race that finished with a climb through the narrow, twisting streets of Valdepeñas de Jaén. "All the team worked the whole day, beginning with Martin Kohler and Klaas Lodewyck to control the break," Gilbert said. "Everybody did his job, especially Yannick (Eisjssen) and Danilo (Wyss) at the end. I turned onto the narrow roads in perfect position. Daniel Moreno (Katusha Team) accelerated away early in the climb to win by four seconds over Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) and his own teammate, Joaquin Rodriguez, and take the race lead from Nicolas Roche (Team Saxo-Tinkoff). Santaromita finished 15 seconds later and moved from 11th to 10th, 1:25 back. Wyss said it was satisfying to see a day-long display of teamwork. "We controlled the race from the beginning and we were still there in the end to put him (Gilbert) in perfect position for the last kilometer," he said. Wyss said his first Vuelta is going well. "Until now I'm happy with my race," he said. "I am looking forward to the first rest day (Tuesday). We already have nine stages in our legs. Now we need a little bit of rest, I think."

And finally, For a New Liberty. The history sections in the beginning are as far as I've gone. I like and dislike reading Rothbard. A lot of his conclusions re: historical trends would sit better with me if they were better supported in the text. Of course, it reads like a manifesto. That WAS the objective. It just comes across as a pretty narrow view.

He should have learned a thing or two from wicca.
My humble blog
It's easy to refute an argument if you first misrepresent it. William Keizer
You're not wrong, but I'm not a revisionist and neither is my tradition. The point is well taken, though.
I've been reading a bit on methodology,
The Stuff of Thought by Steven Pinker
I am currently reading, What Religions Don't Want You to Know...An Expose' of Belief Systems by RK Sidley. It is available from Amazon and smashwords.com (free).
From the introduction:
This book will critically examine mainstream religions and alternative belief systems. It will examine the historical record and behavior of certain well known religions who have perpetrated atrocities in the name of God, and will move on to consider a common thread inherent among all religions and denominations, i.e., control and manipulation over their adherents.
I'm looking forward to reading Building Blocks for Liberty by Block.
The Odyssey, Lattimore translation.
I LOVE Lattimore. In fact, all other English versions of the Iliad pale in comparison to him. It's the "King James" of the Iliad so far as I'm concerned.
That said, I like the Fitzgerald translation of the Odyssey, or even the Penguin translation. Maybe because the Odyssey is so much "breezier" / fantastical it works better with a more loose and coloquial type of translation.
My 2 cents on that. Either way there is no going wrong with Lattimore, so enjoy it.
"As in a kaleidoscope, the constellation of forces operating in the system as a whole is ever changing." - Ludwig Lachmann
"When A Man Dies A World Goes Out of Existence" - GLS Shackle
You're probably right. The translation I read when I was a kid was just the old beat-up one my dad had in the house, probably from the used book store, and there's no telling whose translation it was. I re-read it until it fell apart, so I can't look now!
I DO like Lattimore better than whoever that was, he's got a courtly formality that doesn't usually get in the way of clarity. I find some funny stuff like tense adjustments within sentences, and I feel like this reflects his attempt to be as literal as possible.
I have my doubts about the alliteration he sprinkles through the text in both Iliad and Odyssey. It sometimes gives an Anglo-Saxon kind of feel that seems out of place.
Interesting, I never reallynoticed any "anglo-saxonisms"- I'll keep my eyes peeled next time. Though I'm not very anglo-saxon,so that may be lost on me.
His translations are the most literal, and the most Poetic especially trying to keep up with the dactylic hexameter and rhythym, epitaph, and many of the stock alliterations used in the Iliad. My "Homeric" Greek is not so good, so I can't comment too much on how "pure" it is, but I am almost OK enough in "classic" Greek to know he does very good translations of shorter poetry and fragments.
anyway, if you want to read the Lattimore illiad translation this book is a great tool to go with it
I'm not too sure if the Odyssey has a companion or not. Once again though, I'm not sure if something like that would help it or hurt it. It moves along so nicely by it's own nature. It is the worlds greatest romance / camp fire story, a companion may get in the way. lol, I read my first version literally to it's death as a child too.
That's funny! That's the Companion I bought. I haven't read it, though. I'm listening to the Lattimore Iliad in audiobook format first, before I read it in print. With texts I'm afraid I might lose focus on, I start with an audiobook.
I doubt the Odyssey needs a companion reader. It's not really very challenging, it's just a fun adventure story. The Iliad is so much more about cultural and religious specifics, that I'm sure a companion would be helpful. Also, the Iliad is absolutely FULL of references to the different city-states and areas of classical Greece, and their mythical heroes, and as I understand it, was sort of THE defining text that united the cultures of that whole area.
Oddly, I never read the Iliad as a kid. I once read Aeschylus' Agamamnon, I think in about eighth grade, and found it so depressing I retreated into Jane Austen, and never revisited the Trojan War in any other texts. I've been meaning to look into The Aeneid at some point too. From my initial glance-through, it's disappointing in that it's so very political and pro-Roman-state. Homer's not political, so I find it easier to read him for pleasure.
Every TRUE reader has certain books they have to re-assemble in page order before reading, heh heh heh.
Mine as a child were Tolkein and C. S. Lewis, Malory, Jane Austen, Homer, E. Nesbit, L.M. Alcott, James Stephens, Rudyard Kipling, and certain Shakespeare plays, especially Henry V. Going back a little further, anything illustrated by Adrienne Segur and Maurice Sendak.
Now ask me if I ever read the stuff they assigned in school. Shrug.
I review Dambisa Moyo's Dead Aid: Not-so-Humanitarian Aid. For those who haven't read it, I suggest doing so. It's relatively short, to the point, and a good analysis of the problems with foreign aid.
Ooh, I like the looks of that. Definitely on my reading list.
Jonathan M. F. Catalán:I review Dambisa Moyo's Dead Aid: Not-so-Humanitarian Aid. For those who haven't read it, I suggest doing so. It's relatively short, to the point, and a good analysis of the problems with foreign aid.
Yeah, unfortunately she didn't stick to that.
The video doesn't suggest her views on aid have changed; it suggests that her understanding of economics in general is a bit ... poor. I've actually noticed that economists who've done good work in development economics fail to extrapolate their findings to the rest of the world.
"Le chômage, fatalité ou nécessité ?" (you can translate as follows "Unemployment, Fate or Necessity ?") is a 2005 book I read a long time ago. I have just finished writing a review, in english. See here. This a short article however (my english is not very good).
Can't believe I've only now discovered Rothbard.
This is mother's milk. By god, it's so beautiful. If you haven't, you've got to read For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto, and Ethics of Liberty, and then everything else he wrote :D
I have actually not yet read any book by Rothbard. I was considering buying FaNL and EoL, but I decided that the cost is too high for me right now. I was considering printing them out at Fedex, but it turns out it's more expensive. I guess I'll just have to read them on a computer. But I hate how I can't annotate them there. Anyone know of any good way to annotate pdfs?
@Whey: I thought you're in college. Just print it out at school, bro.
Clayton -
Few years after reading Rothbard I feel like I've moved on from Rothbard, but that's just me.
Clayton - right as I was posting I checked whether it's free, but it's not. It costs 10 cents per page. Still too expensive for a 400 page book.
versions of the books? Than use an eBook reader that let's you annotate.
^^^^^ I'm not going to correct that. The RTE is $h!t.
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.
Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!"
Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
Recently picked up Ricardo's Principles at a used bookstore. After I finish Capital, I plan on reading that along with Marshall's Principles, Keynes's General Theory, Keen's Debunking Economics, and Smith's Wealth of Nations. I'm also interested in reading Walras, Schumpeter, and Sraffa--and more Marx of course!
Wheylous: Get the Epub version. Or Kindle desktop app and use the free Calibre reader to turn it into a .Mobi. Pretty sure the Kindle lets you do annotations. Plus, you get searchability. There's also an audiobook version for both.
Bert:Few years after reading Rothbard I feel like I've moved on from Rothbard, but that's just me.
Moved on to what or who exactly?
Moved on to what or who exactly?
To whatever else, which is a vague answer, but there's a lot with Rothbard that after some time I'm just like "eh, whatever." I simply don't adhere to everything he says like I used to. When it's strictly economics and political structures I agree, on other things I just don't pay any mind to it anymore. But on a whole my intellectual focus has moved on from econ and politics to religion and Jungian psychology.
I think my main disagreement with Rothbard is whether the contents human nature can be known a priori or empirically. Rothbard seemed to think that it can be determined a priori. I disagree. This kind of throws a wrench in his ethics.
I am finishing up Fifty Dead Men Walking - The Heroic True Story of a British Secret Agent Inside the IRA.
This kind of throws a wrench in his ethics.
This kind of throws a wrench in his ethics.
That being another thing. I don't care for Rothbardian ethics at all, but it would be like preaching to the choir on that subject on this forum.

That being another thing. I don't care for Rothbardian ethics at all, but it would be like preaching to the choir on that subject on this forum.
I don't think that's necessarily true. You might be surprised. Personally, I'm dismayed by any author who shortcuts to "right" without starting from a fundamental explanation of what occurs. With the Political and Ethical, I start from the assumption that all of what actually happens can and should be understood first from a Praxeological framework. If we explain how the things that happen occur, then we can ask interesting questions. What follows from these specific beliefs, norms, laws, political institutions? What is the side effect of these religious teachings on time preference, on savings, investment, capital accumulation, work ethic, etc?
I think Rothbard provides some very sound analysis and explanation of how different ethical and political principles impact the social group. But instead of leaving it at that, he continues beyond this to ascribe secondary and tertiary mischeivous purpose to the members of society who drive or implement such ethical and political principles. I don't believe this is necessarily fair. Or even appropriate. The analysis of the necessary side effects is sufficient. Leave it to the reader to draw his own conclusions about the world he wishes to pursue and embrace.
Jonathan M. F. Catalán:The video doesn't suggest her views on aid have changed; it suggests that her understanding of economics in general is a bit ... poor.
Yeah that's what I meant was the unfortunate part...not that her views on Africa changed, but that she didn't stick to subjects she understands.
I've actually noticed that economists who've done good work in development economics fail to extrapolate their findings to the rest of the world.
Sowell wrote a whole book largely on this topic:
Did you say this elsewhere in the forum? This sounds so familiar.

Yeah, you were the one who previously asked as to why.
I finished reading Building Blocks for Liberty. Overall, I thought it was a good book. The first section was the best. The Human Rights section elicited some criticism from me as I read it. The language section was not very useful (except the "national income" section - that was pretty good).
I just started reading the short ebook, The Global Manipulators: The Bilderberg Group ... The Trilateral Commission ... covert power groups of the West by Robert Eringer.
Just read "A Land Remembered" by Patrick D. Smith. Incredible book (I know it's not libertarian, but it's still a great story)
I'm reading How Capitalism Saved America by DiLorenzo and Basic Economics by Sowell right now. Next up are Sowell's Economics Facts and Fallacies and Applied Economics. And I just finished A River Runs through It and Other Stories. Excellent reading.
Attention Readers: I've contemplated the idea of writing a "conspiracy action genre" fiction (think Da Vinci Code but completely different of course) piece. I have some really, really wild ideas for the setting and some plot surprises that I'm sure would keep people guessing and maintain suspense. However, I'm a firm believer that it is really character development and character-conflict that draws people into a story and keeps their attention. To this end, I'm curious if anyone would be willing to share their favorite fiction characters that really just reached out and grabbed them: real, three-dimensional characters; characters with Shakespearean depth and subtlety. Character conflicts that are completely believable and engrossing.
Don Quixote, definitely.
Jeeves and Bertie wooster
Offhand, some more worthy than others but all good in their way and place:
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Sherlock Holmes
Mr. Toad
Elizabeth Bennett
Sir Lancelot
I'm avoiding Shakespeare here, you seemed not to want those characters. I hesitated over Tess, because I couldn't respect her. But she's awfully memorable.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 1, 2011)—Saint Isabelle's come-from-behind win in the $73,100 Time To Leave Stakes Sunday at Hollywood Park capped a memorable day for Little Red Feather Racing.
An ownership syndicate managed by Gary Fenton and Billy Koch, Little Red Feather went 3-for-3 with horses owned in different partnerships.
Before Saint Isabelle completed the triple, Little Red Feather had won the second race with Russian River and the fourth with Achak.
Trained by Mike Puype, Saint Isabelle, a 4-year-old daughter of Saint Liam and the Forty Niner mare Fortyniner Fever, was tucked in behind the contested early pace, swung out for clear sailing and went on to defeat Irish Gypsy and five others.
The one length victory was the fourth in nine starts for Saint Isabelle, who was ridden by Rafael Bejarano. A dark bay bred in Kentucky, she covered the five furlongs over Cushion Track in 57.09. She increased her earnings to $173,580.
Now 2-for-3 at Hollywod Park, Saint Isabelle, who is also owned by Paul Chacon, returned $6.40, $3.40 and $2.60 as the 2-1 second choice.
"The trainer told me he didn't want me to send her to the lead,'' said Bejarano. "The last time she was on the lead, but today it was a completely different kind of race. She was real relaxed behind the leaders…it was part of the plan.
"She had been working really well for this and I thought she would improve a lot. I saw everybody sending so I knew it would be good for me.''
Making her first start since checking in second behind Ultra Blend in a stakes at Sacramento last July 17, Irish Gypsy finished well to complete the exacta, a half-length in front of Arizona invader Shakenwithanolive. Irish Gypsy paid $3.60 and $2.60.
The show price on Shakenwithanolive, who gained the lead briefly in the stretch, was $3.20.
Completing the order of finish were Holding Her Ground, Candy's Pleasure, Separate Forest, the 2-1 favorite who was making her synthetic surface debut, and Dawnie Macho.
Racing resumes Thursday. Post time is 1 p.m.
Hollywood Park offers dark day simulcasts – Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays – in the Casino. Admission is free.

Codex of Huamantla
The context in which this codex was created is unknown, but its purpose clearly is to tell the story of the Otomi people of Huamantla. The center of the painting depicts the migration of a group of Otomi from Chiapan, in the present-day state of Mexico, to Huamantla, which is located in present-day Tlaxcala state. The migration, which took place in the Post-Classical period, was undertaken under the protection of the goddess Xochiquétzal and of Otontecuhtli, lord of the Otomi and of fire.

Duke won't look past Albany
DURHAM — Duke won't get caught looking ahead in this NCAA tournament.
Nobody's talking about a possible matchup with Michigan State, or a rematch with Louisville, or a return to Indianapolis — where these seniors won a national championship as freshmen.
These Blue Devils understand they won't get there if they don't take care of Albany first.
Second-seeded Duke (27-5) opens Friday against the 15th-seeded Great Danes (24-10) in the Midwest Regional.
The Blue Devils have lost their last three postseason tournament games, including last year's NCAA shocker against Lehigh — another No. 15 seed — and last week's upset against Maryland at the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
"A lot of guys know the feeling — especially from last year," point guard Quinn Cook said Tuesday. "We had it again (last week). ... We understand we have to have a sense of urgency for our seniors."
Coach Mike Krzyzewski says he'll remind his players of those past performances — to a point.
"You bring up a few things. You bring up that you didn't play well last year, but you don't belabor it," he said. "We want to be in this moment and not bring a lot of stuff from other moments — including championships, because that might make you soft."
A year ago, the Blue Devils were slotted into a bracket stacked with subplots and attractive potential matchups — including a possible matchup with Kentucky, 20 years after Christian Laettner's famous shot against the Wildcats.
They never made it that far, being bounced in their opener by a Lehigh team in one of the biggest upsets in NCAA tournament history.
"We were shocked that it really happened," Cook said. "We don't want it to happen again."
This year's Midwest Regional field is also compelling: The Blue Devils could meet and Michigan State in the round of 16 in Indianapolis — where both Duke and the Spartans reached the 2010 Final Four and Duke won its most recent national title.
If the seeds hold, the Blue Devils would face overall No. 1 seed Louisville in a rematch of a November holiday tournament game won by Duke — back when the Cardinals were without center Gorgui Dieng.
And none of that will mean anything if the Blue Devils look past an Albany team that won the America East tournament as the No. 4 seed.
Krzyzewski says during the past few years, he tweaked the way he approaches preparing for the tournament. In years past, he would break the bracket down into mini-tournaments of four teams apiece, but a suggestion from his college coach — Bob Knight — led to his switch.
"You're always trying to figure out how to psychologically be better (and) the way he tried to do it, he said each game's a championship game," Krzyzewski said. "And then if you make it to the sixth championship game (the national final), you're a veteran of winning championships. I really think that's more appropriate, because it is — one-and-done."
After the Blue Devils were knocked out of the ACC tournament by Dez Wells and seventh-seeded Maryland last Friday night, Krzyzewski said they came back to Durham and had three days of practice.
Some of the same warts that plagued Duke in the Lehigh loss last March in Greensboro — poor 3-point shooting, and an inability to prevent a determined, high-scoring guard from repeatedly attacking the rim — reappeared in the same building almost exactly one year later during that loss to the Terrapins.
Duke was just 6 for 26 from 3-point range against Lehigh while allowing C.J. McCollum to score 30 points in that forgettable 75-70 loss in the second round. Against the Terps, the Blue Devils were 4 of 25 from beyond the arc while allowing Wells to hang 30 on them.
"We didn't have it (against Maryland), and we all understood that this is it," Cook said. "This is what we all play for."

Edit - They will be priced at £6 each.
Brilliant, I love the black one but it'll be great to try lots of other colours too. The silver is top of my list.
i am so excited for these :]
ahhhhhh how much will they be do you know? xx
@Steffani Louise - Oh I forgot to say didn't I!
They will be £6 each :)
GREAT colours. This is a collection I badly want. Props to MO.
awsome thats really good compared to opi :]
will defo have to buy maybe all of them hahaha x
I might have to try the silver but i've already got barry m's crackle polish and wasn't that impressed the finish is a bit hit and miss but they do look great on toes for the summer xx
Oh, wow! These look so exciting. I have no idea what I'd pair it with, but I love that turquoise!
Ok, so this is completely irrelevant- I just thought I'd let you know that I used one of your headers for my blog, love this pic!!
Silver sounds like it would be a great cheap alternative to the OPI silver shatter that is coming out. I love the look of the orange and turquoise (if it is different to the China Glaze turquoise shade). They would be so cool to do an orange and turquoise manicure ad then go over them in the coordinating crackles on the opposite colours.
I'm really excited about this launch, I love the Barry M nail effects and I can't wait to try a few of these new ones out! And they are affordable too unlike the OPI and China Glazes :) xx
I'm all for getting the silver one! I've got a silver crackle polish by the Italian brand Layla and it looks great, classy too.
I also have a white one but I don't like it very much because it reminds me of white-out, maybe you'll find a way to make it work for you :)
Very exciting! I've been wanting to order the China Glaze crackles but I may as well wait for these as they're much more accessible and if we're lucky they'll have a nice promo! :D
Yay! Crackle polish in different colours! At last. And I hope they look more like the OPI crackle rather than the Barry M one.
I love the third one- purplish-
So many beautiful colours.
*Making a new shopping list*
I want!! :) thanks for sharing
Wow, these look fab, lovely colours! x
Uhhh these look fab!
What's smash up nail polish how does it differ to regular polish?
@Arash - It kind of gives a crackled effect over nail polish. Basically you apply a normal nail polish and let it dry. Then you apply the crackle polish and it cracks as it dries... like the image on the lids of the nail polishes above!
Not really for everyone but it's great if you want something different...well maybe not you exactly! haha
im more excited about the fact that they are releasing a variation of colours and are cheaper than OPI.
wow the white really would look gorgeous! i got the barry m black yesterday instant nail effects, and do like it but i'm not one for wearing black often. white would be ideal!
So glad that crackle polish now comes in a variety of colours, very excited about the pink and silver x
Wow! I love the pink and turquoise colours....so excited!
@Makeupsavvy thanks for clearing that up ha ha
thanks for the heads up - on my shopping list for April and will do a review too! http://theresabloor.blogspot.com/
I didn't know other brands did these, I'm going to try an icy glacial look with blues underneath and white crackle on top. x
I love to hear what you think and do read all comments.
If you want to ask a question make sure to check back after afew days for a reply.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 2, 2010)—Zardana will try to become the fourth multiple winner of the $150,000 Bayakoa Handicap when the Grade II is run for the 29th time Sunday at Hollywood Park.
The Bayakoa is the main event on a day when Zenyatta will be honor ed. The 6-year-old mare, who finished her career with 19 wins in 20 starts and more than $7.3 million in earnings, will visit the paddock after the sixth race.
Zenyatta, who will depart for Kentucky Monday to begin her life as a broodmare, will then be paraded in front of the grandstand and clubhouse area, giving local fans a final chance to see the daughter of Street Cry at her home track.
Post time Sunday is 12:30 p.m. The Bayakoa, which is run at 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track, is the eighth of nine races.
Owned by Arnold Zetcher, Zardana, like Zenyatta, is trained by John Shirreffs, who has won the Bayakoa a record five times.
Dismissed at 11-1 in 2009, Zardana, a Brazilian bred daughter of Crimson Tide and the Southern Halo mare Dear Filly, prevailed by 1 ¼ lengths.
If the 6-year-old mare repeats Sunday, she would join Star Parade, who won in 2003 and 2005, Starrer (2001-2002) and Manistique (1998-1999) as a two time winner.
Espinoza will again ride Zardana, who has won eight of 22 and banked $464,276. Espinoza has four victories in the race, one less than all time leader Chris McCarron.
Since her win a year ago in the Bayakoa, Zardana has one victory in five starts. That was a 9-1 upset of 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the New Orleans Ladies Classic March 13 at the Fair Grounds.
In her most recent appearance, Zardana, who would join Star Parade (2005) as the oldest winner of the Bayakoa, was ninth of 10 in the Spinster Oct. 10 at Keeneland.
Second behind Zardana in this event 12 months ago, Silver Swallow is back for another shot at age 6.
Owned by Gainesway Thoroughbred, Aase Headley and Irwin Molasky and trained by Bruce Headley, Silver Swallow has won four of 27, earning $444,855. She's a daughter of Alphabet Soup and the Red Ransom mare Topsom.
Washington Bridge steps into graded company after collecting her first win outside Northern California . The 3-year-old daughter of Yankee Gentleman and the Prized mare Stirling Bridge won the Life Is Sweet Stakes Nov. 12. Owned by Mark DeDomenico and trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, Washington Bridge has four wins in 17 attempts. Her bankroll is $131,089.
A victory by the Kentucky bred would be the fourth by a 3-year-old in the last five runnings of the Bayakoa. Washington Bridge would join Foxysox (2006), Romance Is Diane (2007) and Briecat (2008).
The other 3-year-olds in the lineup are It Tiz and Sister Dawn.
Trained by Mark Glatt for owners Allen and Susan Branch, It Tiz, a daughter of Tiznow out of the Woodman mare Star of the Woods has won four of 12 and earned $206,805. She was second behind Washington Bridge in the Life Is Sweet.
Sister Dawn comes off two consecutive sprint victories – the latest on turf Nov. 14 – and will be making only her second start beyond 6 ½ furlongs. Her only other route try was a fourth in an optional claimer March 4 at Santa Anita at the Bayakoa distance.
Owned by Ike and Dawn Thrash and trained by John Sadler, Sister Dawn, a daughter of Indian Charlie and the Strawberry Road mare Joi's Flame, has won four of nine. She has earned $153,707.
Zetcher will also be represented by Wynning Ride. Trained by Bob Baffert, the 4-year-old Candy Ride filly out of the Mr. Greeley mare Wynyard has won three of 12, banking $342,108. She was second as the 7-5 favorite in the recent Treasure Chest Nov. 20 at Delta Downs.
Second as the 17-10 choice in the California Cup Matron Oct. 30, Lady Railrider will be seeking her first win of 2010 and first over Cushion Track. Steve Specht trains the 5-year-old daughter of Ride the Rails out of the Lord Carson mare Lady Evergreen for owner-breeders Mr. and Mrs. Larry D. Williams. She has won seven of 21 and earned $433,180.
A stakes winner over Cushion Track, Sweet August Moon is back in California after fifth place finishes in a pair of graded stakes in Kentucky .
Defeated 8 ½ lengths by Dubai Majesty in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint Nov. 5 at Churchill Downs, Sweet August Moon won the A Gleam Handicap July 17 in her last Hollywood Park appearance. Owned by Legacy Ranch and Shirley MacPherson and trained by Brian Koriner, Sweet August Moon has won seven of 19 and earned $462,396.
From inside out, the field for the Bayakoa Handicap: It Tiz, David Flores rides, 114 pounds; Sister Dawn, Alonso Quinonez, 114; Zardana, Victor Espinoza, 118; Silver Swallow, Mike Smith, 115; Wynning Ride, Joe Talamo, 117; Sweet August Moon, Joel Rosario, 116; Washington Bridge, Rafael Bejarano, 117; Lady Railrider, Frank Alvarado, 117.

- Hunter's Day pack
- Rating
I was gifted this pack a couple years ago, and use it from canoeing, hiking, but mostly for hunting. I abuse the heck out of it. I can stuff the large main compartment with extra clothing layers and safety harness plus food, etc, strap tree climbing sticks to the side with the straps, and attach my treestand on the back of it with carabiners to the D-rings. I've even strapped my rifle to the side with the 3 side straps. You can snug them down very tight, and while I initially was skeptical of the plastic clasps and nylon straps, they haven't failed me yet. The zippered pocket in the top flap is a bit awkward to use, and I wish it had one or two additional smaller zippered pouches on the interior, other than that this pack has served me very well, and I couldn't recommend it more.

My grandfather bought this pack while I was on deployment in Iraq last year in hopes that I would join him on a few day hikes when I got back. Sadly he passed away last month and in his memory I decided to Take a day hike on his favorite trail in loyal sock, Pa. After driving eight hours from Norfolk, Virginia and staying in a dirty bed and breakfast I packed my bush rafter and hit the trail. About two hours in a I took a break only to unDue my left outside pocket and have he metal Button to come apart. Also the sternum Strap is coming unstiched. Even tho it's a life time guarantee I can't return this item being it was te last gift from my grandfather. It's a shame an American made product made so poorly.
We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience with your Bushcrafter Pack. Please contact our customer service team at: email@example.com or call 1-800-777-4439, we would be more than happy to discuss repairing your pack for you. Thank you for your feedback!

- Get rid of the nylon please!
- Rating
I was given this bag for the holidays. I got rid of it due to the plastic/nylon. Why can't you switch to leather and brass already? The plastic and nylon looks tacky and completely out of place. Otherwise, it was a fine looking pack I'd loved to have owned.
Thank you for your feedback! The reason we opted for nylon side cinch straps is because with the nylon, you can get a nice tight fit, significantly more so than using a leather strap with a roller buckle. If you'd like, we can custom make our Bushcrafter Pack with the leather cinch straps on the side. Please call our Customer Service Department if you are interested (1-800-777-4439).

- Lost with the perfect pack
- Rating
Shortly after recieving my Bushcrafter I packed her up and headed to Allegheny National Forest with some friends. Decided to bushwack and got lost overnight. One of the best days of my life other than the fact that I knew my friends were worried. I had absolutely everything I needed for several days if necessary in an extremely comfortable pack. The generous volume and narrow profile are perfect for bushwacking. Very comfortable, great design, and extremely well built. Strong Work Duluth.

- Surprisingly comfortable, and holds everything
- Rating
I was looking for a large pack that would hold everything I need for oil painting, and also be comfortable enough to carry on hikes to remote locations. This is it! I couldn't be happier with the design and convenience of this pack. The tall pockets in front are perfect for small items, including brushes and water bottle. The main compartment holds my large 12" x 14" wooden paint box easily, along with extra clothing, lunch, turp can, sketchbook. The central location of the axe pocket in front is what initially sold me on it - perfect for the tripod I use to support the paint box, and awkward to stow in conventional packs. The nylon compression straps on the sides make this pack easily adjustable in volume, and for my use, leather would not be as functional, adding weight and bulk, as well as additional time spent in adjusting and securing the load. The only change I made is that I had Duluth add another pair of D-rings further up on the shoulder straps, - I'm small (5'4") and the sternum strap was placed too low for me. This is the best pack I've ever used - not too heavy either. I commonly carry about 25-30 pounds, and I can carry it easily and find it very comfortable in this pack. I love the rugged looks of the thing too, and the fact that it will probably outlast me.

- Great Pack
- Rating
Got mine and it fit right off. Loaded it up and took it on the trail. The most comfortable pack I have ever had on. I would recommend some loops on the belt to hang a GPS and such on. But other than that it is perfect.
When I loaded it up and put it on I was just flabbergasted at the fit. The padded shoulder straps are just the right length so they don't cut into your arm. No fancy S shapes are needed. It's a big pack but the compression straps make it easy to adjust the volume. And you get to walk standing straight up. It's kinda spendy but well worth the price. Now if I can just live long enough to wear in out. :)

- great pack!

A wicked pack in all aspects! While I agree with some of the other statements regarding the use more natural or traditional materials, the designer may have had good reasons for selecting nylon, so I won't count that as a negative against it. Otherwise, it's logically engineered and versatile plus, it's built like a Panzer tank!

I saw this pack on a Youtube video and was intrigued. It was not yet listed in the Duluth website and the video responses said it was a custom pack. I received an email from Harpoon who informed me the pack was listed on the site. Details showed it was designed by Mike Lummio of Bushcraft Northwest who also designed the BCNW-01 Bushcraft Knife which I own and is one of my favorites.
Like many bushcraft practioners, I am always on the lookout for practical, durable gear. I own several backpacks, but they are either too large or too small. As mentioned in an earlier post, recently my outings are 2-3 days usually 2-3 miles into the woods, so I'm not looking for aerospace suspension and superultra light weight materials. I need a tough, practical mid-size pack. I was also gravitating towards traditional materials like a Duluth type pack. I've grown tired of mil-spec OD green and SWAT black nylon.
Enter the Duluth Bushcrafter. I emailed Mike Lummio and he gave me some details about the pack. Based on his recommendation, I placed an order. Found out that the base price of $370.00 went up to $395.00 in waxed canvas. I was going on a canoe trip in Maine and thought this could be the pack.
A few days later, I received a call from Molly at Duluth who advised me that I was the first person to order this new pack. I told Molly when I needed the pack by and she assured me they would try to make the deadline as the packs are made one at a time.
The pack arrived 3 days prior to my departure date which gave time to play. First impressions;
Very heavy duty 18 oz. waxed canvas. Straps are leather and securely stitched and also heavy duty. Side compression starps , nylon with fastex type buckles. Weight on my digital fish scale 4 pounds, 9 ounces. The capacity is listed as between 3900 and 4200 cubic inches.
I like the two front pockets with sleeves behind for a folding saw or similar items. An axe sleeve which I like as axes are sometimes hard to pack and secure. On this pack just slip it into the sleeve and it's secure and protected. I packed the pack for my trip. It carried sleeping bag, pad, tent and poles, tarp, clothes, all tools, water and cooking gear. I didn't line the pack with plastic as I wanted to test the water repellency of the waxed canvas. All items were in waterproof stuff sacks as a precaution.
The pack carries well even with upwards of 40 pounds of weight. Tha padded leather and canvas which feel great. The hip belt also helps stabilize the load.
How did it perform?
The pack did great!! When placed in the canoe, it was wet from rain and river water, yet didn't absorb much. No water was transferred into the pack. On portages, it carried very confortably compared to traditional canoe packs. I was never in fear of damage when it was placed on the wet, muddy ground. Though dirty and used, it gained character and has more of that "just belongs" look of Duluth products. For me personally, this pack fills a void in my equipment allowing flexibility for many outings from overnight to longer trips. This is my new favorite go to pack.
Hats off to Mike Lummio and Duluth Pack.

It is finally here! 2014 marks the 27th anniversary of the UNCF New Orleans Walk for Education! UNCF invites you and your family to celebrate this milestone as we raise funds to help Louisiana students and our two member institutions, Xavier and Dillard Universities.
Each year, the Walk for Education attracts thousands of students, parents, educators and community members who believe that education is a priority for everyone. The Walk for Education is the premier education run in New Orleans each year, filled with entertainment, great food, activities and even a few surprise guests!
So, lace up a pair and join us this year! Form a team, join a team or just register yourself online. Corporate sponsors, team captains and volunteers can get involved, too!
