Part of the 8-book Tamora Pierce reissue for Fall 2006, this title in the Circle of Magic quartet features spellbinding new cover art. Coincides with the release of WILL OF THE EMPRESS in trade pb.
Four elements of power, four mages-in-training learning to control them. In Book 2 of the Circle of Magic Quartet, earthquake damage has left Winding Circle vulnerable to pirate attack and Tris, Briar, Daja, and Sandry are working with the community to strengthen their defenses. When the pirate onslaught begins, two things become terribly clear: The pirates have a powerful new weapon--and they have an accomplice within Winding Circle. But they've failed to anticipate the fury of a young mage who has been betrayed once too often, and who has very stubborn, very loyal friends....
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:57:03 -0400)
With the defenses of Winding Circle Temple seriously weakened by an earthquake, Tris and her fellow sages-in-training try to join their different magic powers to protect the Winding Circle community from a pirate attack.

Last price on Buds was $462. For the price you are talking, you can get a marlin 1894 which I have and highly recommend. Never owned of fired a Rossi so I can't speak to their quality but that weird safety on the top of the receiver is a turn off. The marlin has a cross bolt safety which is a little less in your face.
They were an excellent quality rifle when they were made by Rossi and held one more round inthe tube than the Marlin. I don't know about their quality since they are now owned by taurus. It's no secret that I have a low opinion of taurus. Some folks have had good luck while others have to return new ones for service. I bought the Rossi in 44 Mag (a real Rossi) stainless and like it a lot. I used to own a Marlin 1894 that I also liked a lot but decided that I don't need 30 30 caliber.
Married 28 years---I'm starting to think it might work out.
Second Generation N R A Life Member
I have an EMF Hartford .44-40. Great rifle. 24" octagonal barrel and smooth as silk. Accuracy is outstanding. It was made by Rossi and EMF did the smoothing out, refinement. They changed the sights to a barley corn front and adjustable buckhorn rear.
My buddy has a .45LC Rossi with an 20" round barrel. No goofy safety and is fairly accurate to 75 yards. Not as smooth, but still not bad. Trigger is VG.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
I got mine off GunsAmerica . If you are patient you can find one well below the $500 mark.

Ruby and husband, Raleigh Radford, were well known in the Cane River Community for their devotion and service. Together, they owned the Raleigh Radford General Store and ran the Cane River Post Office. He, as Post Master and she, as a postal worker. After Mr. Radford's retirement, she continued running the Post Office until it was discontinued.
Their love of children extended beyond their own. They provided education supplies and clothing to children in need. The young people in the community affectionately called them Aunt Ruby and Uncle Raleigh.
Ruby's work ethics was so great she put off retirement and worked at Haven Heights Rest Home for 20 years. She worked well into her eighties when poor health forced her to retire. She was talented in arts and crafts. Many family and friends enjoy her beautiful creations in needlework, ceramics and quilts.
Ruby's tender heart was a great asset to Yancey County. The late Harlon Holcombe, former owner of Holcombe Brothers Funeral Home, once related to the family that between Ruby and he, many unfortunate people in Yancey County were buried with dignity.
The family would like to express it's deep gratitude to Vera Hall, Dr. Polgar and the nurses and staff of Brookside Rehabilitation and Care that provided loving kindness, compassion and excellent care during her time with them.

Penn State Scandal Prompts Colleges, and States, to Review Policies on Reporting Crime
In the wake of the scandal over child sex-abuse allegations at Pennsylvania State University, colleges across the country are reviewing their policies regarding what their employees are required to do when they witness or receive information about suspected abuse of children. Some state lawmakers, too, are proposing stricter requirements for reporting crime.

A little cheese with that whine,please!
I gonna whine now...pass the cheese and crackers please. We get several days of beautiful weather and I get to play outside then we get a week of crappy weather. I'm stuck inside,I'm tired of the TV,housework,the computer and games.
Here is your crackers ma'am! :-)
I hear ya, we had 2 reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy beautiful days here, and then BAM!!!!! Now it is freezing and windy. We even had a small thunderstorm yesterday afternoon before the big boom! What a tease....come on Spring!
ill host the wine and cheese party, but bring your parkas and mittens and prolly some boots too.
22 right now going back to single digits soon.
We also has 2 great days, was out their rearranging things, now freezing rain and another week of snow ahead,, I will bring the wine,,and crackers too, heck I might just sit out on the deck and enjoy the birds,,,in a sleeping bag..in need of that sun shine,,SOON
I think next winter I'm going to pretend I'm a bear and sleep through it. I hate cloudy, gloomy, winter days.
I do love it when the sun comes out. I will either sit or lay on the floor in front of my living room window where the sun shines and do my "lizard thing".
Wonderful! We'll have a nice lil Pity Party 'cause we can't get outside.
Somebody needs to bring some really,really stinky cheese in honor of our stinky weather.
I've got the whine covered....LOL.
It's about 29% this am. I did get some more seeds sewn yesterday...guess it would still be classified as winter sewing.I got to shovel a yard of compost out of my truck yestrday in a drizzly rain.
I cleaned the house earlier in the week so nothing to do there...except hub's breakfast dishes.
I got in 3 new sets of bed-in-a bags from overstock last night so this am I put them on the beds..except the one for spare bedroom. It was label full but when I tried to put the bedskirt on the bed...it was a twin so I got to deal w/ overstock on a return but it went smoothly...so I put the set that was suppose to go on the spare room on my bed and turned out it looks better in there but I'm still shy a set for the spare bedroom...so I get to go shop for another set later.
If I get real antsy..I have all the bedding I took off to replace with the new,I can wash but it's really hard to do this stuff when all I wanna do is go outside. Can't even walk over to the greenhouse it's blowing and going with occassional down pours.
I can't even get excited about shopping....unless of course if I can shop for flower seeds...which I absolutely do not need.
I'll have a glass!!! In the high 60s yesterday although quite breezy a real tease. Today~BAM!! Gray, windy, cold, downright awful..tomorrow they say snow then cold the rest of the week..,actually glad to be working tonight to get out of the house.
Well,it's colder than a well digger's beehind this am...ARGH!
I have all my seeds spread out on the diningroom table going thur them. Trolling...stalking seed exchanges and websites....like I need another dang seed! But Oh Boy! Could I do some more damage w/ the cc.....I Will Not Buy More Seeds...I Will Not Buy More Seeds! I Will Not...I WILL NOT!
Forget the glass...pass the bottle! I've passed the lady-like point...LOL
Though temps are well below normal here 'again' I'm not complaining yet. I still have (about) my whole winter chore list to do. Where has the winter gone?
I have all my seeds spread out on the diningroom table going thur them. Trolling...stalking seed exchanges and websites....like I need another dang seed! But Oh Boy! Could I do some more damage w/ the cc.....I Will Not Buy More Seeds...I Will Not Buy More Seeds! I Will Not...I WILL NOT!
Yeah, well check this site out for some real eye candy. Fragrant Garden Nursery
Here is an old thread that has the descriptions to many that are sold at the link above. Any Sweet Pea lovers/addicts/collectors here maybe?
Then there is Daffseek If you are not very familiar with daffs, just choose a division number in the drop down box (1 thru 13) and check the box to find only with photos. Being a new daff collector/addict, I can spend hours there just looking at daff pics.
Sue...who needs to work on her winter To-Do list today for sure
Here is a link that might be useful: scroll down to get weather sticker for forums or your home page
Sue! Just what do you think your doing posting links!!!??? I DO NOT need more seeds.....so I've been to Suttons to start my iris list and North Hill for an even longer list of sempervivums.....LOL...Oh yeah,let's not forget all the different mints I want to order from Fragrant Fields.
My master tags came in for some of the prennials I ordered last Dec. I ordered 3 var. of lavenders but waited to late placing the order and didn't get a darn one. So as soon as I can I'll have to go across the street to neighbor's and take cuttings off those plants. You know your addicted when you start having to plant some of your stuff in the neighbor's yard because you've run out of room or the growing conditions are better.
Lead me not unto temptation for I can darn well find it myself....LOL
Woo-Hoo! Our warming trend starts today w/ temps at 71...YAY! I can play outside...I can play outside!!!
I need to get out. Our market day is early this year...Marh 7th....EEK! But on the upisde I do need to get some funds rolling in so I can place the iris,semp and mint orders. *G*
Well...Brandy...need at little brandy?
Har-har!"MINUS SEVENTEEN!" Brrrrrrrr.....! In my entire life I only remember ONE winter that we had temps at 0...I can't wrap my mind around -17!!! 2000 we had huge ice storm and out of electriciy for 12 days. Live in a rural area so we were stuck way out here too for 12 days.
WE're going up into the mid 70's today. YIPPEE! I get play outside...I get to play outside. The kid comes out in me sometimes....or maybe it's the Alzhiemers.
BWAHHHHH!!!! I had a week of beautiful weather but got so little done because everybody kept needing one thing or other so I'd have to stop working or never even get to start. All this week has been grey,wet,cold and miserable. I look forward all week to doing today's market. Weatherman said clouds would move out at midnight and it'd be sunny but chilly. HE LIED! It's still grey,wet,cold and miserable! I need to go choke him!

Chris Brown and Drake won't face criminal charges following their nightclub brawl in June. The two men and their entourages were involved in a fight at New York's W.i.P club, reportedly over Rihanna, who has dated both of them, in which several innocent bystanders were injured but police will not press charges due to lack of evidence.
According to gossip website TMZ "The investigation into the bottle-smashing brawl at WIP nightclub on June 14th has been concluded and no criminal charges will be filed against Chris, Drake, or any member of their entourages."
Drake's lawyer Blair Berk said "Drake was never even a suspect so it's no surprise." It is believed Chris, who is still on probation for beating up Rihanna in 2009, sent a bottle of champagne to Drake's table as a peace offering, but it was returned with a note reading, "I'm f***ing the love of your life, deal with it."
The gesture is then thought to have angered Chris and resulted in him confronting Drake, who allegedly threw a punch at his rival, leading to a brawl breaking out. This is straight up embarrassing.

Top oil producer Saudi Arabia is ready to meet any increase in consumer countries' demand for crude oil, oil minister Ali al-Naimi told reporters on Saturday.
January 14, 2012 5:32 by Reuters
Saudi Arabia is "always obliged" to meet demand, Naimi said when asked whether the kingdom has enough spare capacity to cover demand in light of possible oil sanctions by the West on Iran's crude oil sales.
"Whatever customers want," he said, without making a reference to the possible sanctions on OPEC-member Iran.
The Kingdom, now pumping just under a record rate of 10 million barrels per day (bpd), has poured billions of dollars into its vast oil fields, which on paper should ensure it has the ability to ramp up to 12.5 million bpd.
Some analysts have cast doubts over Saudi Arabia's ability to sustain untested production levels of over 10 million bpd.
"We don't take experts' view into consideration. They can doubt as they want. Do you believe us or you believe skeptics? We have said many times that we meet customers' demand. Period," said Naimi. (Reporting by Reem Shamseddine; Writing by Amena Bakr, editing by Jane Baird)

Brief Summary
Order Pilosa includes the sloths (suborder Folivera) and the anteaters (suborder Vermilingua). Both were previously grouped as Order Xenarthra with the armadillos (now Order Cingulata), but it has been determined that similarities with armadillos are due to convergent evolution.
The pilosans are native to the Americas and especially flourished in South America when it was an isolated island during the Tertiary period. They diversified into some of the New World's most unique mammals, from extinct ground sloths the size of elephants to the highly specialized anteaters of today. There are ten living pilosan species plus three ground sloth species that went extinct recently enough to have coexisted with early Patagonian people.
Pilosans have some unique physiological traits compared to other mammals. They have extra bony "xenarthrales" between their lumbar vertebrae, a double vena cava vein bringing blood from the hindquarters to the heart, and retain primitive reproductive characteristics. Females have a divided uterus similar to the double uterus of marsupials and a combined urinary and genital duct, while males have internal testes with no glans to the penis. Pilosans also have remarkably reduced metabolisms compared to other mammals because they have specialized to eat low energy foods.
Anteaters have vestigial teeth with a weak, elongated mandible and a "worm-like" tongue which they use to feed on insects. Their tongue attaches to their sternum and can be extended up to half a meter. They walk with their feet turned up so that they tread on their knuckles or wrist in order to protect their curled digging claws.
Sloths spend most of their time hanging upside down while eating foliage, sleeping, mating, or even giving birth and may look like bundles of leaves themselves. In the Two-toed sloths, the fur is grooved to better grow two kinds of blue-green algae, giving them a greenish hue. The largest energy expenditure a sloth makes is to climb down to the ground once a week to defecate.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

Warning:Quaker State Oil Filters
Better check your filters really close. I used to simply blow the insides out just incase I get a piece of paper or something else inside. Apparently the auto MFGs may have a valid point when they say you shouldn't use products from other sources.
Went out to buy an oil filter for my new ranger and found the 10$ price tag for a Motocraft filter a bit steep. I looked at a Quaker State filter and just happened to run my finger in the thread hole. My finger was coated with a grey film that I recognized as oil and particles of steel about the size of 600 grit paper. I put that one back and started to open all the filter boxes of my type motor. They were all the same except one was worse and had 2 grains of larger size particles clearly visible.
Can't imagine what this stuff would do to close tolerance crankshaft journals made of bronze. It would be just like sandpaper on them. In fact the bronze would absorb the particles and act has a holder for the them. It is scary to think that this stuff is on the "Inflow" part of the filter. If you think they allow this much care for the part of the filter we can see, what else do they botch up and we don't know about.
I bought the Motocraft filter just the same and the thread portion was just as clean as a whistle. Can't remember how many times I used Quaker State on my other trucks.
This problem is clearly a lack of cleanliness on their part and shows the lack of quality control and sincerity when they state they produce a reliable product. Can't get into their site to let em know, guess their server is down.
Here's some info on the subject.
Here is a link that might be useful: oil filters
Our customer that know us, don't question my oil change and lubrication pricing. We use the top of the line filters and oils exclusively, which means for some vehicles we use nothing but the O.E. filter. Our lowest priced service is close to $30 and some cars go over $60. We sell a Quality service, and have no concerns after the fact, ever.
Hum, I've used Fram after-market oil filters for years. I don't know how long they've been in business, but I've been changing my own oil for about 50 years. Never seen anything like mentioned on the opening of this thread. I did have a Sears filter with a bad weld which caused the filter to leak, leak a lot meainging I saw it on checking on the start-up after the change. I have run some engines for 200,000 miles on Fram, or similar filters and have had no problems. I have used Castrol oil most of the time for the past 35 years. I think it is one of the better oils. I don't have any proof other than the results I've already mentioned.
hey guys, i have been using quaker state filters for 6 years in my 2004 chevy truck, and now i see this about some gritt, in the NEW fillter? thanks for the warning, and i have 10 of those babies left, i will check them REAL carefull. i change oil n filter @ 3k sharp. now i am worried.

I pour my cooled wort back and forth between two sanitized buckets. It works really well for me. I used to shake, but in the end, this is much easier. The only downside is that it's really frothy if I need to funnel to a carboy. If I'm fermenting in the bucket, it's really nice.
I wouldn't worry about HSA unless you are running a can of O2 into hot wort. I use a 60 second shot of O2. I don't have to worry about introducing nasties from the air and it provides consistency to my process not to mention I have never had an issue with stuck ferment or high FG with it.
Ive been following this guys technique for my first 2 batches. I tend to go a bit gentler than this guy did but I was wonderin if anyone has any thoughts about this one. anything seem wrong with this method??
I wanna live. I dont wanna die. Thats the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that ---- out by myself in the third grade.
-George Carlin
I've seen varying numbers from 8-15ppm. I'm at work right now so I unfortunately don't have George Fix's book to reference. Really the only way to get >8ppm is to shoot it with pure O2 and that is really just estimating since there's no way of measuring it at a homebrew level.
I think the aquarium air pump and the air stone has worked so far. Plus I'm usually 3 or 4 beers into it when it's time to aerate the wort so I'll stay away from power tools.
I strain my wort, above the fermenter through a fine wire mesh strainer, this thoroughly oxygenates the wort and makes it all nice and "frothy" in the fermenter. I am assuming I am at 8 PPM with this method. Also, hop sediment and trub is caught in the screen.

Aussies Could Use Elephants To Fight Invasive Species 274
from the we're-gonna-need-bigger-needle-snakes dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
What winter?
Yes there is that problem.
You mean summer?
Australia has two seasons: summer (August, though for some strange reason, Australians insist on calling it winter) and "I'd rather be in hell" (the rest of the year). Except in Melbourne: all four seasons in one day.
Sydney has a freezing winter rain in summer and the air turns into a wall of white water. You get just as wet from the rain as you do from the humidity. The only difference is if you have your sunnies on or not.
Then someone turns the weather switch and while that toggle switch goes from winter to summer or visa versa the day will be maybe hot maybe dry maybe rain maybe cold, the only difference is it will be that way all day after you've left for work you either carry your jacket and wear your sunnies or you wear your sunnies and carry your jacket. But don't dare open an umbrella or the wind will rip it to pieces or sudden lightning reduce it a hole in the ground with some molten metal and the remains of one of your shoes. Deodourant companies are listed on the commodities market.
Then winter is so dry that your lips skin and hands dry and crack and you suddenly get two days of summer in winter.
Except when it's the other way around and it pours the freezing winter rain in winter and summer is so dry that everything everywhere is so flammable that if the reflection of your sunglasses hits the ground at the wrong angle the whole place goes up in flames.
The fire warning signs read something like (This is not a joke) Normal, High, Dangerous, Extremely dangerous, catastrophic. I almost feel it is appropriate to have them add "We're all gonna die" or "save the children" in case some people don't understand the point.
Other than that the weather here is wonderful, I'm sure the elephants will have a great time.
Seriously though megafauna are relatively easy to control because they breed slowly and can't really hide. It's the small animals you have to worry about.
Seriously though megafauna are relatively easy to control because they breed slowly and can't really hide. It's the small animals you have to worry about.
You've obviously never stared down a charging bull elephant. (Not that I have, but it haunts my nightmares and I'm an Australian).
NOW there' slow breeding mega-fauna. But evolution is a funny thing. In a new environment something could change all that....
Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
But aren't the snakes even worse?
Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
But then we're stuck with gorillas!
No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas si
But who will eat the elephants when they become invasive?
Elephants breed so slowly their numbers would be incredibly easy to control
Well the horrible truth is they'll get poached out much quicker than they can breed. Keeping something like a rhino alive in such close proximity to the east might be a challenge that outweighs the benefits.
Poachers who care about licenses, you make me laugh.
I live in Africa, putting a rhino on a piece of land almost transforms it into a war zone. International trade in ivory/rhino horn is a big deal, no mere legal red tape is going to stop these guys. Neither do they mind much if they have to shoot some rangers to get to the animals, and so the arms escalation begins...
In Australia, the police and customs are much more effective. It's also really hard to get assault guns, so gangs tend to be massively outgunned by the authorities. We had some locally made "Owen Guns" (WWII carbines) getting made in an illegal factory in 2004; that's how starved our gangs are for hardware. Even the "good" African countries will have trouble, because gangs will be able to smuggle guns and ivory across land boarders to and from the "bad" countries.
Getting a license for something that can kill an elephant in aus, you make me laugh.
She'll be right mate. Professional hunters can use semi-automatics. It is only machine guns and rocket launchers that are illegal.
Are elephant germs really that dangerous?
Eat them, I don't know... but hunt them to extinction should be no problem at all, they're not exactly small and hard to spot. The more problematic bits would be if they've brought microbes with them, upset the balance of nature some other way etc. - it's a gamble with very many variables...
[...]they're not exactly small and hard to spot. [...]
If they wear red socks, and hide in a strawberry patch, they're quite hard to spot!
[...]they're not exactly small and hard to spot. [...]
If they wear red socks, and hide in a strawberry patch, they're quite hard to spot!
They leave footprints in the butters
Heh, reminds me of this one...
Q: How do you know an elephant is hiding under your bed?
A: Your nose is touching the ceiling....
Q: What do you do if an elephant comes through your window?
A: Swim!
upset the balance of nature some other way etc. - it's a gamble with very many variables...
The normal way that they upset the balance of nature is trampling lots of the ecosystem and eating so much of everything that it wipes out food/habitat for pretty much everything. If left to grow beyond a small number, they are detrimental to the ecosystem. And that's in areas where they are native. It could probably rid Australia of the acacias though (they love them)
But who will eat the elephants when they become invasive?
They plan to sterilize the beasts, and track them with GPS.
Plan B involves reintroducing the T Rex, as seen on the documentary Jurassic Park.
But who will eat the elephants when they become invasive?
I'm more worried about what they'll decide to eat instead of the gamba grass. What if they develop a taste for kangaroos... or kittens?
Kittens are an invasive species that need to be eaten.
Seriously- cats have caused mega-damage in Australia wiping out many species of ground birds. If the elephants eat the cats (not native to Australia) it can only be a good thing.
Although- if the elephants eat the cats- the invasive species "mice/rats" will scare the elephants into the ocean to swim back to Africa/Asia- which will allow the cat population to boom again.
Perhaps we'll die...
So there was this fence that was supposed to prevent the plague of rabbits from crossing the country. I don't think it worked. I'm having this vision of a future with an Elephant proof fence. Somehow the idea appeals.
No it didn't.
Yes it did. It didn't do the job perfectly, but the rabbit population has never returned to what it was pre-myxomatosis.
"Yes it did. It didn't do the job perfectly, but the rabbit population has never returned to what it was pre-myxomatosis."
Exactly, it worked even here in Europe and we had no problems in the first place.
A french moron wanted to get rid of the rabbits on his property and infected _2_ of them.
Now all of Europe has almost none left.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myxomatosis [wikipedia.org]
Yes it did, it just didn't do it completely - and the remaining population has now been selected for resistance.
It's the exact same problem we have with antibiotics

Yeah, but at least the aboriginals finally thought the white man did something right for a change. Now foxes,,,,,,uuurrh foxes
How about cutting and baling the grass? Process it for feed or fuel. Use it in lieu of paper in insulating concrete.Maybe the Aborigines can find a use for it. Once you've mown it and can access the roots, THEN whip out a jug of Roundup. What really is the problem here? Lack of imagination? Will it distill into alcohol with a bit of sugar? Is there an industrial furnace powering anything anywhere near? Are we really scared of the mean ol zombie grass slowly moving this way? I think someone just wants to be
You've obviously never been to australia. Hint - it's very big.
I am intrigued by your concept of zombie grass. Please write up a report on it and submit it to my desk before 3pm so that I may review it for further defense funding.
What really is the problem here?
yes rabbits would be a good idea. They are smaller and cuter than elephants and they eat grass as well...
Gamba grass first appeared under cultivation in Queensland in 1942 and trials and plantings in the Northern Territory occurred as early as 1931. It was bred as an improved pasture species and sold by seed merchants. Gamba grass has adapted extremely well to the seasonal droughts, fires and low-nutrient soils of Australia's savannas.
From here [qld.gov.au] [PDF].
FFS who would name a plant something like Andropogon gayanus ?
The elephants can be used to stomp on the caine toads.
If you look at some of the Google Street View photos, you can see Aussie kids picking up toads like a phone and licking them. It's actually a pretty handy way to ask your great-grandmother for her special Pavlova cake recipe, just before the guests arrive for the BBQ.
I thought the whole "Got a problem with invasive species x? Import invasive species y!" schtick had gone wrong so many times over the years that there would be more caution about it now.
What are they going to import in 30 years time to deal with the plague of elephants? My vote's for genetically modified, cybernetically enhanced fire-breating giant battle-centipedes. What could possibly go wrong?
Or maybe the attraction is that elephants can actually be extremely dangerous to humans [wikipedia.org]. Australia just doesn't have enough animals like that, right?
Let's see. The gestation period of an elephant is 21-23 months. The interval between calves is as much as five years. And female elephants generally don't even begin reproducing until they are 12-14 years old.
I somehow doubt there will be a plague of elephants. What I imagine would happen is a lot of poached elephants.
What I imagine would happen is a lot of poached elephants.
Nah - the traditional method is to barbeque them.
What are they going to import? 50 cal hunting rifles.
There's a reason why Elephants are a endangered species in Africa - they don't breed very quickly. If you allow the locals to keep the tusks (ie no imports or exports), I imagine they'd be wiped out pretty quickly.
Rather then fill the outback with yet another untested and likely useless species. Why don't they just put more people out there?
Build a few more cities or towns... expand... tame the wilderness. If people actually live out there then any undesired species isn't going to last very long.
Have you been to Australia?
The majority of people live in big sprawling cities by the coast, for the reason that the rest of the country is an arid desert
Any city built inland would run out of water very quickly
I'm well aware of it's serious water issues... there are ways to get more water. It's a big topic but suffice to say there are a lot of options.

And during the day people can go to the petrol station and see if any of the numbers have changed...
...I'm sure that gamba grass itself seemed harmless too when it was introduced to Australia as a pasture grass. Then there were Cane Toads, (also in Australia), Kudzu, and countless other examples.
Given man's mobility and restlessness such occurrences are probably inevitable. At least this time the assertion that "this introduction could solve that problem" was accompanied by a note that careful monitoring would be required. So there's some effort being made to anticipate and mitigate the potential negative
I mean, Elephants are f***ing awesome and all, big, giant things that knock over trees when they get mad, but goats are well proven to eat grass and other things (like briers) that most animals won't touch. They handle dry, arid climates well, and provide other useful things like, Milk, Cheese, Meat, and Pelts. If you pick angora goats you get fancy wool from them as well.
Granted, you don't have the cool factor of big-ass elephants running around loose Down Under, but goats reproduce a lot faster an
The thing Australia is lacking that goats need is water
The Elephants are few enough in number that it can be supplied, and they can be managed to only eat the invasive species, goats eat everything
How do you train a 12 ton animal to only eat what you want it to?
Waiting for some really good ex-wife jokes, slashdot, please don't dissapoint
...I hope you are joking.
Feral goats are a serious problem in Australia, along with so many other invasive animals and plants.
A better link to look at would be this one:
http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/ferals/index.html [environment.gov.au]

Been there, done that they went feral : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_goats_in_Australia [wikipedia.org]. Though some farmers to make a fair living off mustering the ferals and then selling them for pelts and meat.
Well if Goats were already a disaster, why do they think Elephants would be any better?
As pointed out- elephants numbers are easily controlled due to their size. I would like to suggest we one up the elephant suggestion- and go for an even bigger animal- I would suggest the blue whale.
Yes, I know- technically the blue whale is an aquatic animal- but they can breath air. We could create artificial limbs for them- attack fake legs to their flippers and their tails to allow them to walk on land.
Since any young born would not be able to move- (hence eat), without human intervention, you wouldn't have to worry about their numbers exploding out of control.
To me- this seems a near perfect solution. The only problem is that whales don't eat grass- but that's only a minor technicality- and you have to admit whales with artificial tripod limbs crossing the desert of Australia is a site worth one or two minor technical glitches.
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do. -- R. A. Heinlein
