CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
New analytical methods have helped the Cowal gold mine become the first operation in Australia to comply with the gold industry's International Cyanide Management Code.
New CSIRO-developed analytical methods have helped the Cowal Gold Mine become the first operation in Australia to comply with the gold industry's International Cyanide Management Code.
Analytical methods developed by the Minerals Down Under Flagship have helped the Cowal Gold Mine in central New South Wales (NSW), Australia, meet stringent environmental conditions set by the NSW Government to become the first operation in Australia to comply with the gold industry's International Cyanide Management Code.
The new methods use high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to provide accurate quantitative determinations of the chemical composition of samples taken along the course of the ore treatment process. They allow the mine operator, Barrick Gold Corporation, to track and manage both the cyanide employed to leach the gold from its ore and the reagents subsequently added to destroy residual cyanide before discharge into the tailings dam.
Senior Metallurgist at the Cowal mine Simone Painter says the relationship with CSIRO has not only helped the company meet all its environmental standards, but to do it in a way that increases efficiency and saves on reagent costs.
The project was undertaken by researchers working through the Parker Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Integrated Hydrometallurgy Solutions.
Cyanide has been used to recover gold since the late 19th century. It forms a stable chemical complex with gold in alkaline solution.
At Cowal the gold–cyanide complex is then adsorbed onto activated carbon, from which the gold is recovered by desorption with hot caustic cyanide solution and electrowinning it from the resulting solution. Any cyanide remaining in the tailings stream - either free or complexed with other metals - is destroyed by reacting it with peroxysulfuric acid, also known as Caro's acid.
The NSW Government's environmental consent conditions for the mine are based around tailings levels of weak acid dissociable (WAD) cyanide - hydrogen cyanide, cyanide ions and the cyanide liberated from metal complexes at a moderately acid pH of about 4.5.
They stipulate less than 20 milligrams per litre (mg/L), 90 per cent of the time and never above 30 mg/L. In response, Barrick Gold has set the mine's target at below 15 mg/L all the time.
The mine is equipped with laboratory facilities to make relatively simple determinations of free cyanide and WAD cyanide using standard chemical techniques. But during commissioning the company recognised that in order to track and manage the cyanide in its system, it needed to monitor all the potential species and derivatives, such as the sulfurous form known as thiocyanate.
It asked CSIRO for assistance, and members of the Parker Centre's environmental management project (led by Dr Paul Breuer) recognised that HPLC might provide a single analysis answer.
Chemical species in solution pumped through a column packed with an ion exchanger will separate out according to the strength of the physical interactions between them, the solvent and an ion exchange material. Each species takes a characteristic length of time – its residency time – to travel through the column and emerge at the other end.
All the different species can be detected, identified and their concentrations measured either using their characteristic absorption of ultraviolet light or through their capacity to conduct electricity in a cell.
Dr Breuer's research team was able to determine appropriate solvents, ion exchange materials and detection methods for precise discrimination and measurements of the chemical species in samples taken throughout the ore treatment process.
The data provided by the HPLC analysis not only calibrates on-site chemical monitoring, ensuring environmental consent conditions are met, but also enables the company to track the generation and destruction of all cyanide species at the mine, and to minimise the amounts of reagents used to achieve optimum performance.

Translate this page Fallbrook TOT revenue up; Bonsall dropsThursday, September 19th, 2013 Issue 38, Volume 17.
The county collected $2,646,965.75 in 2012-13 TOT revenue, an increase from $2,579,408.47 for 2011-12 and $2,448,836.43 for 2010-11. The county collected $2,827,951.50 of 2008-09 TOT funding. Fallbrooks TOT revenue rose from $282,071.11 for 2010-11 to $300,646.45 for 2011-12 to $320,388.34 for 2012-13. Bonsalls TOT revenue for 2012-13 was $18,887.15, a drop from the $27,921.09 of 2011-12 TOT collections and $26,978.85 for 2010-11. The Transient Occupancy Tax, which is currently eight percent of the lodging unit rate, is collected from occupants of hotels, motels, bed and breakfast venues, mobile home parks, private campgrounds, and other structures occupied or intended for occupancy by non-residents for lodging or sleeping purposes. A timeshare unit used by an ownership partner is not subject to the TOT, although if it is rented to the general public that unit is subject to the tax for that period. Campgrounds at the eight county parks with such facilities are exempt, as are lodging facilities on Indian reservations or other areas where the County of San Diego has no taxation power. A federal or State of California officer or employee on official business is exempt from the tax, as is any foreign government officer or employee exempt under federal law or international treaty. The tax is not collected if the rent is four dollars a day or less or if the lodger receives a free room where the only consideration received is publicity for the lodging site. Units occupied or rented for more than 30 consecutive days are not subject to the TOT. The facility operator must submit payment to the county on a quarterly basis by the last day of the month following the end of the calendar quarter. If the facility ceases operation the payment must be made within 30 days after the operator ceases doing business. Although the TOT is only collected from lodging facilities in the countys unincorporated area, the revenue is used for the countys Community Enhancement program and may be given to organizations in incorporated cities as well as unincorporated communities. Community Enhancement funds are intended to promote tourism, including visitors from other parts of the county, and are allocated during the countys annual budget process. The 2012-13 revenue ranks Fallbrook third among the 23 recognized communities. Rancho Santa Fe collections increased from $406,008.72 for 2011-12 to $536,619.83 for 2012-13. Revenue generated in unincorporated Escondido was $374,636.04 for 2011-12 and $453,777.46 from 2012-13. Borrego Springs was fourth both years with $273,940.06 from 2011-12 and $260,838.54 for 2012-13 while Julian maintained fifth place while increasing collections from $211,354.54 to $237,366.96. Bonsall was 13th for 2011-12, immediately behind Pauma and just ahead of Pine Valley. The closure of Warner Springs Ranch during 2011-12 eliminated all 2012-13 revenue for Warner Springs, allowing Bonsalls total to rank 12th between the $32,843.70 collected from Pauma and the $18,310.63 from Mountain Empire lodging facilities. Countywide first-quarter TOT revenue from July through September increased from $647,410.92 for 2010 to $772,160.13 in 2011 but dropped to $709,665.02 during 2012. Fallbrooks first-quarter growth from $76,737.55 to $87,522.49 to $93,951.16 ranked the Friendly Village third in the county all three years. Bonsall first-quarter collections rose from $7,195.00 in 2010 and $8,139.00 for 2011 to rank twelfth both years, and the increase to $10,530.96 for 2012 along with the elimination of Warner Springs revenue placed Bonsall 11th. The countys second-quarter revenue covering October through December was $511,275.69 for 2010, $587,971.25 from 2011, and $595,491.21 for 2012. Fallbrook ranked second behind Rancho Santa Fe with $66,002.76 of 2010 revenue, third behind Rancho Santa Fe and Escondido with 2011 collections of $61,318.75, and third for 2012 with $68,075.05 of TOT funding. Bonsalls 2010 and 2011 collection amounts of $4,801.48, $5,935.00 both ranked 13th; the 2012 quarterly figure of $4,052.16 ranked 14th. The countys 2013 third-quarter revenue of $662,292.33 was the largest January-March amount since $851,429.77 was collected in 2008. The countys third-quarter collections were $651,889.01 in 2011 and $587,154.90 for 2012. Fallbrooks 2013 third-quarter collections totaled $58,610.89, a decrease from $59,122.85 in 2011 and $66,228.70 during 2012. Bonsall collected $6,552.98 in 2011 and $5,892.38 for 2012 but only $700.00 during 2013. Fallbrook ranked fourth all three years. Bonsall, which ranked 12th in both 2011 and 2012, plummeted to 19th ahead only of the four communities (unincorporated Chula Vista, Dulzura, Jacumba, and Warner Springs) without any TOT collection revenue for 2012-13. Overall fourth-quarter county revenue for April through June increased from $467,057.83 in 2011 to $632,122.19 for 2012 to $679,517.19 during 2013. Fallbrooks 2011 amount of $80,203.95 ranked second behind Rancho Santa Fe. In 2012, Fallbrooks fourth-quarter collections rose to $85,586.51; a one-year increase from $69,196.14 to $100,642.21 moved unincorporated Escondido from third to first in the rankings while Rancho San Diego fell from first to third with a drop from $129,564.21 to $82,125.52. For the final quarter of 2012-13, Rancho Santa Fe collected $141,067.68, Escondido generated $117,892.34, and Fallbrook was third with $99,751.24 of collections. Bonsall ranked 12th in 2011 with $8,209.48 and 11th for 2012 after collecting $7,994.70 (the elimination of Warner Springs revenues accounted for the position gain despite Bonsalls drop). Bonsalls lodging facilities provided $3,604.03 of 2013 revenue for April to June, which ranked 17th. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Confusing as well was the emergence, weeks into the strike, of another issue awkwardly referred to as "nonrenewal language." The contract clause, which refers to the musicians' ability to elect and reelect 13 of 15 representatives on the peer review board, was brought up by management the day before the strike and ultimately became the final sticking point. The issue was often characterized as a job-security concern, because the clause strengthens musicians' representation during employment review and diminishes the possibility that a player can be fired arbitrarily, a factor which some say affects a musician's ability to perform.
Management wanted to force musicians to rotate these positions; musicians insisted on controlling their representation without interference.
To some members of the public, the emergence of the issue weeks into the strike made it appear musicians were shifting ground. Lewinter says management first allowed musicians their choice for the board, then took back that offer during October 16 contract negotiations, which is the reason it did not surface sooner.
Explains Mariusz Wojtowicz, a slight, bespectacled violinist with a neatly trimmed salt-and-pepper beard: "Tenure to most people is a foreign concept. When you're on stage, the fear element can't be there. People need a sense of security. Believe it or not, they need to feel a sense of family."
Striking musicians remained stalwart. "The reason the musicians are so strong this year is everybody's fed up," says violinist Yang Xi. "[Management] uses scare tactics, they inflate figures. As soon as musicians sign the dotted line, you can count on it, there's money to spend on public relations, management."
To Lewinter the 1998 wage freeze implied a gentleman's agreement that a substantial raise was forthcoming. When their contract expired this year, musicians felt they shouldn't have to negotiate for what they believed had already been assured. "It seemed to us a betrayal of two years ago," Lewinter said. "During that wage freeze, they balanced the budget. It was time to make good on their promise."
However, music critic Tim Smith, who spent 19 years at the Sun-Sentinel before taking a job in April at The Baltimore Sun, says the FPO must spend more on administration because -- unlike many similar orchestras -- it serves three counties. "It's easy to complain about the salaries on the administrative side," he says. "It's been one badly managed administration after another."
Finding an administration skilled enough to handle the iconoclastic behemoth is nearly impossible. The departure of Hare, the executive director who is leaving at the end of the season, will result in a gaping hole in orchestra management. Though musicians viewed her largely as a go-between in the negotiations, she was a peacemaker. Now they fear her position will be filled by someone far less competent.
"It's a big monster of an organization," Smith adds. "It's like nothing else in the country. You could get the New York Philharmonic's general manager, and they wouldn't have a clue how to run this orchestra."
While poor management has cost the FPO plenty of money and missed opportunities, Smith says administrators also faced the possibility of layoffs. "There's been people who lost their jobs on the management side, and there's never been that on the orchestra's side."
Kristin Halay didn't bring her flute, and now, on a muggy Wednesday in October at O'Hara's on Las Olas Boulevard, she's starting to regret it.
For Halay, the newest member of the Florida Philharmonic, the noontime protest being staged outside is a chance to perform in public, something she hasn't done much lately. She arrived in Florida from Eugene, Oregon, just one day before the strike began; she is on a one-year leave from the Oregon Symphony. She's never rehearsed with the FPO and hasn't even received a paycheck, though she has played as many free community concerts as she can, for the practice.
Halay plops a cell phone, her only phone, on the red-checkered tablecloth, so as not to miss calls from Oregon, where management has offered to fly her back for performances. She's fortunate to work there, she says. "Oregon has the same-length season, better benefits, and they play in one concert hall." A change of scenery, the Florida sun, and proximity to East Coast auditions prompted her to accept the one-year position; her experience with the strike has made her doubt that decision.
Had the FPO season been canceled, she would have returned to Eugene, forfeiting the deposit she put down on her Fort Lauderdale apartment. She shrugs. The place is empty save the bed she bought for $180 at the Salvation Army and a used dresser donated by another musician.
Halay is fair; her dark brown hair glints reddish in the sunlight. Wearing silver rings, an amber pendant, and earthy sandals, she seems like a creative-writing TA at a West Coast liberal arts college -- until you hear her talk. Halay, who can often be found sipping from a stainless steel Starbucks coffee mug, speaks passionately about music. "I have this really wild little piece with just simple, simple F major arpeggios," she says, smiling enthusiastically. It would be great to play here, on the sidewalk, she adds, if only she had brought her flute.

Malcolm Turnbull lashes Alan Jones over leadership rumours
PUBLISHED: 05 Jun 2014 11:19:00 | UPDATED: 06 Jun 2014 04:27:22PUBLISHED: 05 Jun 2014 PRINT EDITION: 06 Jun 2014In command . . . a fiery Malcolm Turnbull rubbished accusations he was interested in the Liberal leadership. Photo: Alex Ellinghausen
Fleur Anderson and Joanna Heath
After a week of leadership rumours, Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull showed he isn't afraid to take on one of the most popular conservative broadcasters in Australia.
With Prime Minister Tony Abbott out of the country, Mr Turnbull took to Parliament on Thursday in yet another attempt to quash speculation he wants the top job.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and his frontbench attempted to embarrass Mr Turnbull for much of question time on Thursday after a fiery interview that morning with conservative radio commentator Alan Jones, who accused Mr Turnbull of sowing leadership dissent within the Liberal party.
Speaker Bronwyn Bishop gave Mr Turnbull the opportunity to ignore Mr Shorten's demand to explain why Mr Turnbull was selling "his own credentials rather than to sell the Prime Minister's budget of broken promises".
But Mr Turnbull took the opportunity to respond. "I never shirk from an opportunity to remind the Labor Party of the mess they left the country in," Mr Turnbull said.
He reminded Mr Shorten of his own role in the downfall of former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd when he backed Julia Gillard in 2010, and last year when he switched his allegiance back to Mr Rudd.
"They say they don't like cuts. [Shorten's] been very good with the knife in the past," Mr Turnbull told Parliament. "Quite the swordsman, but he's better at putting it into people's backs, isn't he?"
Media ban denied
Mr Turnbull has been in the spotlight since an impromptu dinner with Treasury Secretary Martin Parkinson and billionaire politician Clive Palmer last week.
The dinner upset right-wing commentator Andrew Bolt and Mr Jones, who accused Mr Turnbull of destabilising Mr Abbott's leadership. The Australian Financial Review reported on Thursday that Mr Turnbull had pulled out of several ABC political shows and there was speculation that the Prime Minister's Office kiboshed the former leader's media appearances.
Both the Prime Minister's Office and Mr Turnbull's denied that Mr Turnbull had been prevented from appearing on the ABC.
Mr Jones attacked Mr Turnbull during a morning radio interview, accusing him of disloyalty to the Prime Minister by having dinner with Mr Palmer.
"As Tony Abbott has made quite clear, by the way, there is no restriction or limitation on me or anyone else meeting with crossbenchers," Mr Turnbull said in his defence.
'Tony and I are a team'
He conceded that Liberal MPs and the Prime Minister were not told about his dinner with Mr Palmer.
"I defend Tony Abbott all the time, and all I can say, Alan – I'll just remind you of this – is that we are a team, Tony and I are a team," Mr Turnbull said.
"We have a very united team here. And the thing that has distressed me this week is that people – yourself, Andrew Bolt in particular – have set out to suggest that there is dissension in the government, that there are challenges to Tony's leadership."
Mr Jones told Mr Turnbull he had "no hope ever of being the leader".
"You've got to get that into your head. But because of that you're happy to throw a few bombs around that might blow up Abbott a bit. That's what they're saying."
Mr Turnbull then accused Mr Jones of being a bomb-thrower himself for doing the work of the Labor Party by undermining the Abbott government.
"Alan, the problem with you is you like dishing it out, but you don't like taking it," Mr Turnbull said.

iiNet are buying Internode. iiNet has spent years scouring the country to buy up any smaller ISP they could to expand it's subscriber base. For years the company didn't even advertise. This strategy for growth, proved to be a winning formula, growing rapidly to be the 2nd largest ISP in Australia.
Today iiNet have announced they are acquiring Internode's 190,000 customers. Internode customers are some of the most passionate out there and have been quick to raise their concerns. Known for their high levels of customer service, gaming servers and unmetered content deals and leading the way in IPv6, Internode customers are clearly concerned the good days are coming to an end.
The acquisition of Internode will cost iiNet $105 Million and contain more than 450 employees. It's interesting timing for the purchase given the impending transition of customers from ADSL to NBN over the next few years. The deal is scheduled for completion by February 29th, 2012.
With a high profile acquisition like this, there is bound to be some anxiety, iiNet CEO Michael Malone attempted to address this in the press release by saying Internode would continue to operate independently. Unfortunately the facts are often skipped over in people's rush to predict the move a failure and bad for customers. He also said the two companies had similar backgrounds, similar values and similar service ethics.
In reality, the acquisition is likely to benefit both iiNet and Internode customers as the joint infrastructure can now be shared and optimised, hardware offerings like Fetch TV and Bob along with content partnerships should now spread to both sets of customers. There is yet to be clarification around any staff redundancies that may arise as an overlap of skills across the companies.
As a previous customer of both companies, I believe there is real parallels between the two and potential for them to compete with Telstra's Bigpond for the top spot. Competition ultimately benefits consumers with prices being driven down and features up, but reducing the number by one is unlikely to have major impacts on local competition.

Jason Schwartzman's Don't Talk PSA for Alamo Drafthouse
By Lauren Herstik on March 14, 2014
Handsome Indie Darling Jason Schwartzman teamed up with the chain of beloved Texas cinemas Alamo Drafthouse to film a "Don't Talk" PSA to run before movies. 100% of his own accord. Apparently.
The Alamo Drafthouse is known for its strict film viewing etiquette, wherein patrons found talking or texting are warned and then ejected from the theater.
Like all things Schwartzman does, this is canny and charming. For more of the same, he's in Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, out now.

Ben is still talking to one of the girls that he was photographed kissing while engaged to Courtney, sources share. And, after the pics were revealed, Ben reportedly texted his fling that he felt 'guilty' that he got caught.
Bachelor Ben Flajnik may just be the perfect match for cunning vixen Courtney Robertson. Though Ben has openly denied that he kissed three different women while engaged to Courtney, he is reportedly still talking to one of his hook-ups.
Ben is still texting one of the girls that he was caught kissing in photographs that surfaced a few weeks back, sources tell Us magazine.
But that's not the worst part. According to a friend, Ben told his fling he "felt guilty" that their secret had been found out.
While Courtney may not be an angel, she's never been caught cheating on Ben except by flirting with the paparazzi. And Ben reportedly wants to stay with Courtney even though he's seeing someone else.
Ben told on friend that he wants a "more serious" relationship with Courtney, and refers to his other woman as the "situation," according to Us magazine.
BFFs — do you think Courtney should let Ben get away with lying to her?

Adrian Newey has revealed Red Bull were "tantalisingly close" to not pitting Sebastian Vettel for tyres for a second time in the Abu Dhabi GP.
Amid his fightback through the field from his grid demotion in Sunday's 55-lap race, Vettel pitted for the first time for tyres and a change of front wing following damage while the race was behind first safety car on lap 13.
With the cars ahead all pitting for their own scheduled single stops more than ten laps later, Vettel suddenly found himself ahead of title rival Fernando Alonso in second place on the road, raising the spectre of Red Bull trying to complete a 42-lap stint on the soft tyres in a bid to hold the position and against all the odds increase their driver's title lead.
But, with 18 laps to go, Red Bull opted to bring Vettel in for a second time, the stop dropping the German back to fourth, and although in the closing laps he passed Jenson Button for third place, ultimately ran out of time to make an impression on Alonso.
Speaking to Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz after the race, Newey admitted the one-stop option had been a seriously consideration on the Red Bull pit wall but that they ultimately decided that they couldn't quite make the tyres last the distance.
"We had the debate of course and we looked at the wear from Mark [Webber]'s tyres once they came off," he told Ted.
"It was tantalisingly close that's for sure but as we've so often seen, if you overcook it then suddenly you've thrown away crunch loads of time and instead of finishing, as it turned out, third he could have ended up back in eighth again or something.
"So we didn't think we were quite going to make it, unless there was another safety car, but we couldn't take that gamble. So as soon as he was clear of [Romain] Grosjean then we elected to pit."
Although there ultimately was a second safety car almost immediately after Vettel rejoined the circuit, Newey confirmed that, given the caution period ultimately proved relatively short, they would have needed "another one beyond that one" to have made any one-stop plan work.

How to Make a Simple BB Gun Target Backstop
Posted By Ethan On January 18, 2012 @ 6:00 am In Project Guides,Woodworking | 25 Comments
This past Christmas, Kim gave Fred an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. (Yep, it's just like this one [1], except it has no compass in the stock, and it doesn't have a "thing which tells time"…) I pulled this picture from Christmas morning off Facebook; check out that big ol' grin.
Fred and I were shooting it in the workshop at a makeshift target the other night when a BB came flying back at us on a ricochet. Neither of us shot an eye out that night, but we still decided it was a good idea to build a safer backstop for our BB shooting escapades. Plus, it gave me an excuse for another beginner's woodworking project to share with you.
This backstop design uses tongue-and-groove construction to join the sides and back. These types of joints are extremely strong. This is an easy first project to practice tongue-and-groove construction.
I used scrap material from our wall-mounted lumber storage [2] project for most of the materials. The general idea was to build a frame with a plywood back and find some sort of material that would hold onto a BB, preventing it from rebounding back out. After wandering around Home Depot, I realized that a drop ceiling tile would be the perfect backing, and it would be easy to replace.
I wanted to attempt (for the first time) tongue and groove wood joints. T&G joints are very strong, and becoming proficient in making this style of joint will be a useful skill for future woodworking projects. You can purchase a set of router bits specifically designed for this task or use a straight flute bit (like I did). If you're not interested in something as involved, you can build a similar BB gun backstop using alternate wood joints like lap joints or even butt joints.
Like I mentioned, most of the materials for this project were leftovers from building my lumber storage rack. That means I already had pieces cut to acceptable dimensions. If you're not so lucky, cut four pieces of 3/4″ plywood into 4″ x 22″ strips. Cut the 1/4″ backing to 17-1/4″ x 21-5/8″.
Cut a 1/4″ tongue (deep and wide) on both ends of each side of the 3/4″ plywood vertical rails. Using a 1/4″ straight router bit, I fine-tuned the position of the router with a piece of scrap. After it was setup, routing the tongues went very quickly, a quick slide by the flute on each side.
Side Grooves
I decided to cut the side grooves 2-1/2″ away from each end on the top and bottom boards. That made things a little simpler because I didn't need to worry about lining up the outside edges. Plus, I could easily cut the ceiling tile to size. The position of the groove is flexible. Just be sure to keep everything consistent and modify the dimensions of your plywood backing as necessary.
I used an 1/8″ straight flute router bit and made multiple passes. After each pass I would dry fit the joint, working to keep everything snug.
Back Groove
I cut a similar groove about 1/2″ away from the backside to accommodate the 1/4″ plywood backing. Again, I used the 1/8″ straight flute bit and made multiple passes. It's important to note that I only cut this back groove on the bottom and side boards. You'll see why I omitted the top board in the next step.
I figure a ceiling tile will only last so long against a barrage of BB's, and so I cut a slot at the top to make it easy to swap in a new tile. For the dimensions, I use the ceiling tile to determine the thickness and my jigsaw to cut it out.
This picture shows the hole I drilled to start the cut.
I used the rubber mallet to help put all the pieces together. Unfortunately, I made a few grooves too tight and needed to make additional cuts before it all fit. I glued all the joints and let it dry overnight.
The top slot was necessary because I wanted to add at least one guide to prevent the ceiling tile from falling out. To achieve this, I pin-nailed a piece of 1×2 to the bottom of the frame.
I used a utility knife to cut the ceiling tile to fit and slide it in place. It is held at the top by the opening in the plywood, and at the bottom by the guide installed in Step 6.
Of course I wanted to try out my new creation, so I printed off a target and set everything up across the shop (about 17′ away). You can see how deadly I am with a BB gun.
The backstop caught all the BB's. None of them came out, and I wasn't afraid of shooting my eye out!
After building the BB backstop, I was hoping to find free online targets. After a few Google searches, we came across Targetz, which offers PDF shooting targets [3] that are 100% free. Unlike many other "free" sites out there, this one was easy to navigate and actually download and print a target.

Lowering your vehicle can do wonders for your handling and performance, but if you aren't careful it can do more harm than good. The negative camber that comes with lowered suspensions causes your tires to tilt inwards, resulting in poor handling and excessive tire wear in normal driving conditions. Make sure your lowered suspension is properly aligned for maximum benefits with a Skunk2 Adjustable Camber Kit.
The Skunk2 Camber Kit replaces your factory upper control arms to give you over 3 degrees of adjustment for proper handling and tire adhesion. Skunk2 Adjustable Cambers utilize a sliding quick-adjustment ball joint to let you easily compensate for the negative camber on lowered suspensions and tune in the proper tire angle. Whether you hit the track with your sport compact or cruise the highways, the Skunk2 Adjustable Camber Kit is an essential upgrade to get the most out of your suspension.
Every Skunk2 Camber Kit features a cadmium plating that fights corrosion and a hot red finish that gives your wheel wells that trick racing look. Your versatile Skunk2 Adjustable Camber Kit is backed with a 1-Year Warranty.

Steve Austin On RAW Next Week + HOF-RAW?
By Ryan Clark | February 28, 2011 | Comments
-- It's interesting to note that there was no WWE Hall of Fame video package on RAW this week. B.G. James (Road Dogg) tweeted the following yesterday: "Look for Bob Armstrong package on Raw tonight. Fifty years in the business." It's possible they'll air it on SD! this week instead (timing issues?). "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Shawn "HBK" Michaels have already been announced for this years WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
-- It was announced on RAW this week that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will appear live on RAW next week. This is likely to promote Tough Enough and WrestleMania.

Interesting, I have the WA6SE, which drives the HD800 beautifully. I am looking for a future upgrade to a WA5LE. Now you say that they may sound the "same" makes me rethink about buying another Woo. What are alternatives to the Woo lines, say in the money range of the WA5LE?
Honestly for the price the WA5 is priced at, it is a joke for the sound performance it offers. Though the amp sounds more solid state then being of a warmer tube sound sig. Majority of the Woo amp's sound similar in ways to another. There's a saying among few experienced users more so than myself: "Once you heard a Woo, you've heard them all".
Well regarded amps for around the same price would be the EC and DNA lineup etc.

Banks slams failures in productivity
PUBLISHED: 01 Nov 2012 11:50:00 | UPDATED: 02 Nov 2012 11:21:37PUBLISHED: 01 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 02 Nov 2012Geoff Winestock and Aaron Patrick
Outgoing Productivity Commission chairman Gary Banks has damned Labor's reform agenda by calling for an overhaul of the Fair Work Act, an increase in the GST, and a winding back of industry handouts, including to car manufacturers, to revive Australia's lagging productivity performance.
- Alan Mitchell | For our political leaders there is now no place to hide. The public now can judge the performance of the government very accurately with the help of expert commentators
- Stephen Anthony | The Gillard government must inspire the nation to heed the call to micro-economic reform in the same way that former treasurer Paul Keating succeeded in 1987
Mr Banks suggested yesterday that Rudd-Gillard government policy initiatives in infrastructure, labour market regulation, and measures to control carbon emissions could hamper a productivity rebound, days after Labor's Asian Century white paper set an ambitious goal to make Australia one of the world's 10 richest nations by 2025.
He said a blurring of policy signals had prompted a "resurgence of rent-seeking behaviour'' from companies and industries under structural adjustment pressure from Chinese demand for Australian resources.
He presented a lengthy "to do'' list of Productivity Commission reforms that Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glenn Stevens called for at Prime Minister Julia Gillard's economic forum in June.
Mr Banks suggested that workplace regulation should be a priority for reform because of its pervasiveness across the economy and because it affected the flexibility of companies and industries to adapt to structural pressure.
While reforms such as the shift from centralised wage fixing from the 1980s had been "no brainers", the Howard government's shift to Work Choices had neither been adequately explained nor understood by the public.
Industrial relations is a 'war zone': Banks
"Industrial relations has been a 'war zone' ever since, with reasoned public discussion about fairness and productivity trade-offs the biggest casualty,'' he said. "It would therefore be astonishing if those trade-offs had been properly accounted for."
The broader recommendations included cutting subsidies and import tariffs, ending closed shops for doctors and pharmacists, increasing funding to disadvantaged schools and privatising state-owned utilities. The privatisation call follows a recent report by Industry Australia which identified $200 billion in state-owned assets, much of it in the electricity industry, that should be sold to super funds.
Mr Banks noted the commission was sidelined by the government's review of the Fair Work Act by industrial relations experts. Union leaders had condemned him for arguing regulation needed to be tested transparently, he said.
"The very hostility provoked by what should be an unexceptionable proposal may be confirmation of the desirability of adding it to the list," he said.
Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten said he respected Mr Banks but "people are not products". The Labor government did not believe in unbridled competition in labour markets where people were forced to compete for less and less, he said.
Mr Shorten has asked a government authority in his portfolio, Fair Work Australia, to take a greater role improving the quality of corporate managers.
Survival of the fittest
Mr Banks acknowledged the importance of management skills but said managers' decisions were conditioned by government rules, taxes and spending. He said government should encourage businesses to be cost conscious and innovative by removing tariffs, subsidies and special deals for industries such as coastal shipping. Policies should not inhibit "better performers from prevailing over weaker ones", he said.
Transport Minister Anthony Albanese said in March that Australian shipping owners would not have to pay income tax on their core activities and would be able to write off their ships in 10 years rather than the previous average of 20. The move was designed to help industry compete against foreign ships manned by less expensive foreign crews.
The decision, which reduced competition, wasn't subjected to a public interest test, Mr Banks said.
All investment in big projects should go through a cost-benefit analysis because of their huge cost, long-term drag on the economy and "optimism bias" which makes people think they will be more useful than they will be. Mr Banks didn't name the national broadband network, which critics have complained was never analysed by the commission.
The Labor government has repeatedly rejected calls to stop spending billions subsidising the car industry and low-carbon technology. Mr Banks said the government should "terminate selective industry subsidies that cannot deliver demonstrable net social benefits".
"Taxpayer support for private sector businesses cannot even be loosely characterised as 'co-investment' unless this test is satisfied," he said.
Industry Subsidies cost $9bn a year
The government and the car industry describe government subsidies for Ford, General Motors and Toyota as "co-investment" to make it more politically palatable. The commission estimates subsidies for car makers and other industries cost $9 billion a year.
Mr Banks said the federal and state governments used too many inefficient taxes that needlessly raised business costs. "Making better use of the GST, by broadening its coverage and raising its rate as in a number of other OECD countries, including New Zealand, would likely deliver additional gains," to economic growth, he said.
The government excluded any discussion about the GST from the Henry tax review and a business working group on the corporate rate.
Mr Banks divided the changes into measures to boost capability and those to improve flexibility.
He said recent policy had favoured investment in boosting capability, such as building infrastructure and schooling, over making the economy more flexible, such as industrial relations changes and cutting subsidies.
Recent research showed that half to two-thirds of the recent slowdown in productivity growth was cyclical, reflecting the lag between investment in new mines and the start of production. He said investment under way for new mining would soon come on stream and start improving productivity.
Renewable energy target 'unnecessary'
Recent large investments in the power sector and water utilities, including desalination plants, were unlikely to boost production much once they were delivered. The renewable energy target, which has triggered a boom in solar and wind farms, was made unnecessary by the carbon price, he said.
"Renewable energy targets are costly and can be counterproductive in seeking to reduce carbon emissions," he said.
Mr Banks's speech was given to a conference organised by the Melbourne Institute.
The Productivity Commission is the government's independent economic adviser and has often come under fire for its advice.
"There is no single thing that can do the job," Mr Banks said. "What is needed is an approach to 'productivity policy' that embraces both the drivers and enablers of firm performance and is consistently applied."

Goalscorer Peter Crouch felt Stoke City were "deserved winners" after recovering from 1-0 down to beat Aston Villa 4-1.
The Potters moved into the top half of the Premier League table following the victory at Villa Park on Sunday.
Christian Benteke gave the home side the lead early on with his 11th goal of the season, but Peter Odemwingie brought Stoke back level as he chested Crouch's header down and sent it through Brad Guzan's legs with a close-range finish.
Less than five minutes later, Crouch handed Stoke the lead as he poked the ball home from the centre of the 18-yard box before Steven Nzonzi added their third just before the break and Geoff Cameron netted their fourth late on.
Man of the match Crouch told Sky Sports 1HD: "It was very pleasing the way we played, considering we were a goal down.
"At the start of the season we might have collapsed but we showed we've definitely improved.
"We passed the ball really well and we controlled pretty much the majority of the game and came out deserved winners."
Odemwingie, who joined the club in the January transfer window, said he is enjoying his time at Stoke and praised his strike partner Crouch.
"I'm really enjoying it," he said. "It's a great group, I'm really happy off the pitch as well and they have received me very nicely.
"I was really happy playing in the same team as Peter, I knew I would get balls off him and the quality he possesses and it makes things easier for us around him.
"I knew he was going to win the ball in the air so I lifted it a bit - believing he was going to win it - and he did and I kicked the ball and scored.
"That's what I was planning before coming to Stoke."
After going down to Benteke's opener, Odemwingie admitted he felt confident the Potters would come back after being in a similar situation against Southampton last month.
He added: "We've done this before, at Southampton (we were) 1-0 down to an early goal with the game against West Ham, the same thing.
"We're really pleased not to drop our heads and we kept going. We got an early equaliser which helped as well.
"Our overall performance I think was fantastic."

Unique 2014 (and some 2013) Sailings You May Have Overlooked
Tuesday's itinerary announcement has brought us some interesting and unique sailings. The spotlight has been pointed mostly at the new Greek Isles and Southern Caribbean sailings, so I decided to focus on some of the more unique sailings. On the surface, it may look like the regular old itineraries, but there are some interesting components lying within the variants of each itinerary. First off, there are repositioning cruises that are not clearly labeled. On the West Coast, there is a new home port in San Diego that was overshadowed by the announcement of home ports in… Continue reading

A stool softener is a laxative that draws water and fat to the large and small intestines, lubricating hardened stool and making it easier to pass. Stool softening laxatives are known to cause a tolerance and even dependence with prolonged use. For this reason it is vital to use a natural stool softener to relieve constipation rather than a chemically based laxative. The following natural stool softener regimen will relieve your constipation problems in a fast, organic and healthy way!
Eat to produce bowel movements. Naturally softening hardened stool requires a strict diet rich in fiber. Stick to raw fruits and vegetables and whole grain breads and pastas. Avoid refined foods. Snack on the most effective constipation-relieving foods: raisins, yogurt, prunes, carrots, peas, dates, figs and papayas.
Drink like a camel. Guzzle liquid as if you are preparing to spend a week in the desert. The more hydrated your body is the more soft your stool will be. Pure fruit and vegetable juice are good to drink, especially prune juice. Lemonade is also a great choice. Water with boiled barely leaves every 3 hours is very effective in softening stool naturally. You can also drink ½ cup of Aloe Vera juice, which contains the natural ingredients anthroquinone and glycosides, which are the active ingredients in most laxatives. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and salty drinks as these will dehydrate you and leave your stool dry and more stuck than before.
Move your body to get your stool moving. Your stool will begin to move and dislodge when you increase your activity level. If you are suffering from constipation go on a walk, go for a swim, or do a home aerobics workout. Exercise pumps blood to your colon and helps your body to naturally dispel its waste as it should.
If you follow these steps your stool will soften in a fast, healthy and natural way.
