SAN FRANCISCO -- Sometimes on Sunday, it looked like Anquan Boldin and Colin Kaepernick were playing a private game on their own, only occasionally allowing others to join in.
Boldin ran down field, Kaepernick kept throwing it to him and Boldin made the play, whether there were Packers defenders nearby or not.
Their game, their connection: They combined for 13 completions for 208 yards in the 49ers' 34-28 victory at Candlestick Park to open the season, and they made it look inevitable.
Nobody else could intrude -- Kaepernick was too accurate and too mobile, and Boldin was just too strong.
It was their own private football island out there. Nobody could do anything about it.
And, given Kaepernick's skill and Boldin's determination, I'm not sure anybody is ever going to be able to.
"They kept letting him get open," Kaepernick said with a smile about his day with Boldin. "And he played like a grown man today. He made plays even when he shouldn't have. So if he plays like that, he's going to get the ball even more."
Of course, Boldin is no speedster. Defenders can and will stay with him.
But if the QB is ready to keep throwing it to No. 81, who's going to stop Boldin?
On Sunday, Kaepernick threw to Boldin when he was left wide open, which happened more than a few times Sunday.
Kaepernick threw to him when he was partially covered -- and Boldin just outfought the Packers for the ball.
And on a critical fourth-down play, late in the game, Kaepernick (who threw for a career-high 412 yards) just drifted right and waited and waited for Boldin to get a tiny bit open, then fired it to him for a game-sealing 15-yard gain.
What was Boldin thinking while Kaepernick was searching for him on that play?
"Just stay alive," Boldin said. "Whenever you have a quarterback like Kap, he can get outside the pocket and make plays happen.
"You have to stay alive with him."
Overall, Kaepernick targeted Boldin 17 times in their first game together, with one TD hookup in the second quarter and a long gain of 43 yards that set up the Frank Gore touchdown that put the 49ers ahead for good.
Not a terrible 49ers debut for Boldin, who had six key catches for 106 yards and a touchdown against them in the Super Bowl and then came west when the Baltimore Ravens decided they couldn't afford his $6 million salary this season.
"Man, he's a monster," said 49ers cornerback Tarell Brown.
The 49ers got Boldin for only a sixth-round draft pick, by the way, back in March with the thought of making him a nice complement for No. 1 receiver Michael Crabtree.
Then Crabtree blew out his Achilles a couple months later, and Boldin became the 49ers' only proven receiver to start the 2013 campaign.
And now he's carrying a 13-catch performance into the huge Week 2 game against ultra-rival Seattle.
So how brilliant was the trade to get Boldin?
"We did give up a draft choice for him and (are) paying him a lot of money," coach Jim Harbaugh said of Boldin. "But definitely think he's worth every penny."
Then Harbaugh just started laughing, which he does not normally do in postgame moments with the media.
"I think he's worth ev-ery penny."
Said Kaepernick, with a bit of a wry smile: "Yeah, I think we got the better end of that deal."
The funny thing about Boldin is that he looms so large on the field, but up close and in real life, he doesn't look nearly as imposing.
He's listed at 6-foot-1, about 220 pounds, but looks smaller. He's quiet.
And when the cameras come around and people expect showy demonstrations, Boldin's almost always looking for some place to hide.
On Sunday, he bolted off the field directly into the 49ers locker room seconds before the final gun, leaving behind a 49ers P.R. person tasked to keep him around for an on-field interview.
No TV interview, no Boldin. He was gone.
"That's just how I am," Boldin said later at the podium. "For me, it's a business. I come out here to do my job."
So, is this just a one-game anomaly?
In 19 games with Baltimore last season -- including three in the postseason -- Boldin had only three 100-yard receiving games, and two of those came in the playoffs.
But judging by the way he and Kaepernick have connected almost from the first day Boldin arrived in camp, it seems like his 49ers career is destined for much larger performances.
It's the right QB throwing to the right receiver, and just look at those two guys: Really, who's going to stop them?

Remember this name: Mordecai Ham. I'll tell you at the end who he is.
Meanwhile, let me tell you about Phil Munsey, a guy I heard on the radio the other day.
He wrote a book last year called "Legacy Now: Why Everything About You Matters."
The point of his book is that big or small, everything in our lives matters and everything we do has eternal consequences.
To the editor:
A study by the American Energy Alliance estimates that, over a thirty-year period, businesses could create 1.2 million new jobs, generate $2.2 trillion in total tax receipts and add $8 trillion to our economy by permanently lifting the ban on offshore production in the Outer Continental Shelf. When the price of oil goes back up (as it undoubtedly will) would it not be better to pay ourselves instead of foreign oil cartels?
The 2009 Regular Session hit the halfway point early last week, and as expected, the General Assembly's workload began to pick up considerably.
It was a highly productive time for legislation I have filed on behalf of the farming community and our schools. Along with a resolution that should be of particular interest to livestock farmers, several bills I sponsored were sent to the state Senate.
This letter is overdue although the help sure was right on time. Ed and Jane Simpson certainly were on time during the power outage that hit the county. In fact, Ed and his company, All Points Towing, have come to our rescue many times, even when our car broke down when we were living in Winchester.
To the editor,
I want to thank the Cynthiana Fire Department for rescuing my cat off of an apartment roof. She had been up there all night and day. I know I was going to have to get help, it was supposed to rain that night. I called the fire department, 15 minutes later I had my cat. She was important to me.
Norma Landrum
Since 1864, St. Edward's has served the Harrison County community. In particular, we have and continue to provide an alternative educational resource for children. St. Edward School provides formation for the whole person: intellectual, moral, physical, spiritual and social.
We would like to share some news concerning St. Edward School. Last week Mrs. Mary Grable announced that she will be leaving her position as principal on July 1, 2009. As a result a principal search has begun.
I know most insurance companies are reliable and that sometimes a reasonable increase in insurance premiums is justified. I don't like when it happens, but I understand that it can happen. Even the most reasonable person would agree, however, that three increases over a six year period, cumulatively totaling over a 100 percent hike in premiums, would be unjustified, harmful and unconscionable. That is what is being done to thousands of seniors and pre-retirees in Kentucky who bought long term care insurance years ago.
The short month of February in the words of President Bill Clinton "is held in the depth of winter. But, by the words we speak and the faces we show, we force the spring." A spring of rebirth, renewal and revitalization. In this short month we watch the groundhog predict the weather, observe the history of our African American brothers and sisters, honor great men like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson, and celebrate the feast day of Saint Valentine.
In the early morning hours of Tuesday, Jan. 27, freezing rain began to coat Kentucky and continued for nearly 24 hours. Trees, power lines and poles were layered with an inch or more of ice, contributing to power outages for Blue Grass Energy members that were twice the number experienced during the ice storm of 2003. At the height of outages, approximately 30,000 of Blue Grass Energy's more than 54,000 members were without power.
A few years ago I wrote about seeing a pig fly.
What I meant by that is seeing the surprising answer to a prayer, something I thought I'd only see "when pigs fly." In other words, never.
But God seems to delight in never and impossible. A woman who called the newsroom last week reminded me of that.
The General Assembly may not have been in session last week because of a planned recess, but that didn't mean legislators were away from the Capitol.
Many of the House and Senate committees took the opportunity to continue holding their regular weekly meetings, including the one I oversee as chairman: the House Agriculture and Small Business Committee.
Not long after legislators approved the state's two-year budget last April, we began to realize that as much as we had scaled back, it still would not be enough because of the steep downturn in the nation's economy.
Our state economists told us last fall that, despite several hundred million dollars already being cut, we would need to come up with $456 million more to balance the budget by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2009.
Last week you printed a letter concerning a lady not getting help when she needed it. This upset me, so I jumped in trying to locate this lady, which I did with the help of another person. I have talked with her, and we got everything straightened out. She was in the dark about where and whom she could turn to and the person who refused her help must have been in the dark also.
The Food Pantry has no financial guidelines for getting food and the only time one is refused food is when it is being abused and never if children are involved.
I would just like to write and say I think it is awful how fast people drive on US 62 E. and how heartless people can be. On Sunday, Feb. 8 my 12 month old puppy had got out and was near the road. Someone hit him and didn't even care enough to stop.
He passed away. It was just like losing one of my children. He was our best friend. So I hope who ever did this to our family will please slow down. We miss our babe very much and this won't bring him back but it may save another animals life. His name was Tank.

I just wanted to thank everyone that worked so hard during the ice storm, especially the Cynthiana Christian Church.
They made all those without power feel right at home and ran the shelter in a first class manner. Also, thanks to all those businesses that donated food, it was greatly appreciated and no one went without.
County Judge Alex Barnett came into the shelter on a daily basis to keep everyone abreast of the restoration progress being made. Too bad we can't clone Alex.
Along with zillions of other people, my daughter, Alison, writes a blog.
As The Neurotic Housewife, Alison writes about her life as a stay-at-home mom, and I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this side of her in a horrifying sort of way.
It's like looking into a mirror.
Oscar Wilde once said, "All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy."
As my girls grew up, I often taunted them with that. Oh yeah? You think I'm a fruitcake? Just wait until you get older and you find yourself doing the exact same things.
CNN newscasters announced this past week that 598,000 jobs were lost in January 2009 in the United States. One reporter said it is the worst job loss in 34 years. Another commented that our economy looks a lot like it did at the beginning of the Great Depression. Scary times, they all agreed.
Kentucky and horses... They're a natural combination that has made the Bluegrass State the "Horse Capital of the World." But Kentucky's stake to the title is at risk.
States that have historically have been unable to compete with Kentucky recognize the horse industry's viability and success and are attracting Kentucky-based horsemen with enhanced purses and breeder incentives which will substantially alter Kentucky racing in the next one to three years.
The General Assembly returned to Frankfort early last week, with the aftermath of last month's snow and ice storm and the ongoing budget problems understandably taking up much of our time.
I promised Gator that I would write about him.
His real name is Mike, and he lives in the woods in a camp with some other people.
I only met him briefly, which is par for the course for reporters. We get to know people long enough to get what we need for a story, but often not long enough to care.
I'm talking about myself here, and the truth is I'm not proud of it. But I'm telling you this because God's been chipping away at my uncaring, although he's got a long way to go.

Titanfall Deluxe Edition for Xbox 360
The multi-award-winning Titanfall is the advanced warfare game of tomorrow, today. Fight either as an elite, agile assault pilot or as a heavily armored Titan. Requires Xbox Live subscription and hard drive with 1.2GB of available storage space.
The future of warfare is now
From one of the co-creators of Call of Duty and other key developers behind the Call of Duty franchise, the entirely multiplayer Titanfall is set in a distant frontier torn apart by war. You have the freedom to switch between fighting as an elite assault pilot or an agile, heavily armored, 24-foot-tall Titan. The game drops you into a conflict between the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) and the Militia that juxtaposes small versus giant, natural versus industrial, and man versus machine.
Fast-paced advanced combat
The advanced combat techniques of Titanfall give you the freedom to fight your way as both elite assault Pilot and fast, heavily armored Titan.
The future of online multiplayer
Titanfall introduces an experience that combines fast-paced multiplayer action with dramatically charged moments of a cinematic universe.
The Frontier
Many generations of humanity live in the deepest reaches of explored space, known as the Frontier. It contains numerous well-known and inhabited solar systems, but many more worlds remain uncharted.
The Militia
The Frontier Militia represents the military arm of the Frontier systems' territorial defense pact. The Militia is a loosely governed mishmash of homesteaders, bandits, mercenaries, and pirates.
Titans are descendants of present-day fledgling military exoskeletons. In addition to the obvious combat applications, unarmed Titans are used in heavy industries like cargo transport and deep space ship salvage.
The Frontier contains Pilots of many different styles and experiences. Titan Pilots are rated by certifications, most of which apply to civilian applications, such as construction, shipping, and heavy salvage industries.

In the late 1840s there was a small change crisis in the Colony of New South Wales. It was perhaps most severely felt in Melbourne, the largest town in the Port Phillip District, and at that time still part of the Colony. In 1848 the Melbourne grocery firm Annand, Smith & Company arranged for a private mint in Birmingham, England to make some copper pieces the same size as a penny coin. On one side they placed their name and business and on the other a figure of Britannia like the one on a real penny. When these arrived in 1849 they gave them out in change as pennies from their shop. There was outrage in the morning papers the next day demanding that the police and law courts take immediate action. However the tokens were not forgeries, they were not copies of real coins and clearly stated what company had issued them. Recently too, in 1811, private tokens had been issued in Britain, so no action was taken.
More than 15 000 Annand Smith tokens had been made and soon shops in the towns of Collingwood and Geelong sought supplies of them for small change. Other firms sent off orders to England for their own token pennies. By 1851, when Victoria had become a separate colony and gold was discovered, there were a number of firms in Melbourne and Sydney issuing tokens.
The discovery of gold caused a population explosion. As the same coins were used in Britain and the Australian colonies, people travelling from England could arrive in Melbourne and use the coins in their pockets. These included some copper pennies, halfpennies and farthings – but not many. Imagine setting out for a three-month sea voyage to gold fields at the other end of the world. Would you fill your pockets with heavy copper coins? Nor did they.
Annand Smith & Company Traders' TokenSource: Museum Victoria
Australian colonial governments were not keen to take responsibility for providing coins. Coins were made in England and the British government could make a penny for less than a penny. The Victorian government could only buy one for a penny, then pay the cost of shipping and, once the coins were worn out, they would be responsible for replacing them. Colonial governments argued that the British would make the profit so they should bear the costs.
The retail trade already had a solution and the issue of tokens blossomed. Local production in Melbourne became possible with the importation of a coining press in 1854 but there remained problems with availability of copper. In New South Wales some tokens had been made from 1852, the copper blanks being laboriously hand sawn by an apprentice from copper rods. Dropping the dies from a great height impressed the design. In Melbourne a supply of halfpenny blanks came with the press so good quality tokens of that denomination could be made, but pennies were still brought from England until the 1860s.
New South Wales Traders' Token made with a "drop hammer"Source: Museum Victoria.
In 1862 Thomas Stokes purchased a mill capable of making copper plates of the desired thickness. This saw tokens issued in such huge numbers that the government felt it had to act.
By then many of the early companies that had issued tokens had gone – without removing their tokens from circulation. Recent archaeological excavations in Melbourne have also shown that tokens from regional Victoria (particularly Geelong), from other Australian colonies and even Napoleonic era pieces from England were in circulation. In addition, the British changed their copper coins for lighter bronze pieces in 1860 and these were now legal in Australia; tokens mimicked the old fashioned coppers. The Victorian Government therefore ordered the circulation of tokens be stopped. Although some companies refunded and removed their tokens, all could not.
One result of this was a flood of Victorian tokens to New South Wales. Help was then sought from Britain. The Sydney mint gathered a sample of the tokens in circulation and sent them to London for analysis (they are still in the Royal Mint's collection). They were found to be of good quality copper and the British government accepted a request to purchase them at full face value. The tokens were withdrawn from circulation, shipped to London, melted, alloyed into bronze and struck into new pennies, halfpennies and farthings – at a profit.
Flavelle Bros. & Co. One PennySource: Museum Victoria.
Some 330 000 tokens were withdrawn from New South Wales; the Victorian number would have been similar. There were 124 Australian firms that issued tokens and they were issued in every colony. Tokens, many made in Melbourne, were also used in New Zealand until 1881. Collectors seek examples of each firm's penny or halfpenny and even tiny variations in designs that indicate that different dies were used. Almost no records of token production have survived, so researchers must rely on the tokens themselves to unravel questions about their production, and on archaeology for an understanding of their circulation. The best collection of Australian tokens in the world is in the Museum Victoria Numismatics Collection.

Using atexit for Debugging
[ By: Don Bahls ]
On a few occasions I've had to debug codes which exited prematurely due to an error, but didn't generate a core file. I ran into another instance of this class of problem last week. Fortunately the code did produce an error message just before it exited. Using the error message along with find and grep I eventually tracked down the bug. This was a time consuming process that wasn't fun until the problem was fixed.
This agony made me wonder if there might be a better way to handle this class of problem. It would be nice if the code produced a core dump when it exits. A nice solution I found after all this was all said and done is the C "atexit" function. The "atexit" function lets a user register up to 32 functions that will be called by "exit". If you register a function which calls abort, you will get a core dump which can be used to get a stack trace.
Here's the prototype for atexit:
#include <stdlib.h> int atexit( void (*func) (void) );
For the uninitiated the "void (* func) (void)" is what's called a function pointer. This means the routine expects a reference to a subroutine of the form:
void trace(void);
You can tell "atexit" to call "trace" with the following code segment:
In the case of the code I was debugging the majority of the code was written in Fortran, so I had to wrap the "atexit" code in a way such that it could be called from Fortran. Here's the simple wrapper.
mg56 % cat custom_exit.c #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> void trace() { abort(); } void register_custom_exit_() {/* The following doesn't check to see if atexit successfully registered the exit handler. If it isn't successful we won't get the core file(s). */ atexit(&trace); } void register_custom_exit__() { register_custom_exit_(); }
The functions "register_custom_exit_" and "register_custom_exit__" provide name mangling using both one trailing underscore and two, allowing the C routines to be linked by most Fortran compilers. The custom_exit.c code can be compiled with the C compiler of your choice:
mg56 % gcc -g custom_exit.c -c
Next make we need to add a call to "register_custom_exit" in the file containing the main "program".
program myapp ! call the "atexit" wrapper early in myapp. Preferably right ! after variable declarations. call register_custom_exit() ...
Then recompile the application including the custom_exit.o object file. When the code is run and exits it will produce a core file from each task.
If you do try this technique, be sure to remove the call to "register_custom_exit" when you are done debugging, so you don't get a core file each time you run your code.
A possible improvement to this idea would be to leave the "register_custom_exit" call in the code, but only enable core dumps if an environment variable is set.
void register_custom_exit_() { if ( getenv("CORE_ON_EXIT") ) { atexit(&trace); } }
When the environment variable CORE_ON_EXIT is set a core file will be produced on exit, otherwise the application will act like it used to. On midnight, the mpirun command would look like this:
mpirun -np 8 CORE_ON_EXIT=1 ./a.out

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I have a directory (with subdirectories) that has a bunch of [[ duplicate files. These files could have the same contents, but [[ not have the same filename. [[ [[ Is there a good way to identify files with identical contents [[ without doing a diff on each pair of files? # # Thanks to Lorin Hochstein and Greg Newby who each suggested using a # checksum program to handle this. Lorin's complete suggestion is # below. # One way to do this is to calculate MD5 checksums on all of the files, and then manipulate those with tools like sort and uniq to identify the duplicates. If two files have the same MD5 checksum, they are very likely to be identical. You'll need a program called "md5sum" to do this. Here's an example of a bash script called "dups.sh" that takes as an argument the root directory and identifies all identical files (as a side-effect, it will create a file called md5sums.txt that contains the checksums). #!/bin/bash dups=`find $1 -type f -exec md5sum {} \; tee md5sums.txt cut -c1-32 sort uniq -d` echo "-------------" for hash in $dups do grep $hash md5sums.txt cut -c35- echo "-------------" done Use it like this: $ ./dups.sh ~/Downloads ------------- ./RegExhibit/RegExhibit Read me 1.2.rtfd/Pasted Graphic.tiff ./RegExhibit/Version history.rtfd/Pasted Graphic.tiff ------------- ./Organization-1.pdf ./Organization.pdf ------------- ./coverage-1.pdf ./coverage.pdf ------------- # # Thanks to Martin Luethi who suggested fslint and also provided a # solution using the md5sum command and python. # fslint (http://www.pixelbeat.org/fslint/) is often a good choice. Of course I use my homegrown script that basically does the following: * find all files in a directory tree (using shell wildcards) * make a hashtable with file size as hash * traverse the hash table and calculate a MD5 checksum on all files with the same size * do something with the duplicates. The initial list on file sizes avoids the calculation of MD5 hashes for all files. The basic structure of such a program, implemented in Python, is #!/usr/bin/env python import os datapath = '/home/tinu/images/2008' def getFilesize(allfiles, dirname, fnames): """create a hash of all filesizes """ for fname in fnames: filename = os.path.join(dirname,fname) if os.path.isfile(filename) and not os.path.islink(filename): allfiles.setdefault(os.path.getsize(filename), []).append(filename) allfiles = {} os.path.walk(datapath, getFilesize, allfiles) # eliminate duplicates for files in allfiles.values(): if len(files) > 1: md5sums = {} for filename in files: md5sums.setdefault(os.popen('md5sum "%s"' %(filename) ).read()[:32],[]).append(filename) for msums in md5sums.values(): if len(msums) > 1: # do something here, like deleting or moving duplicates # for this example we just print the file names print msums // // Editor's note: python version 2.5 includes an md5 module which you // could use instead of the os.popen('md5sum ...') call. // Q: I was trying to get a general idea how long my job was running by issuing a date command before and after the "mpirun" commands in my script. E.g. date mpirun ./preprocess mpirun ./analyze mpirun ./postprocess date While it's nice to have the start and end time, I would also like to know how long all three commands took cumulatively to run, so I can specify a more accurate walltime in my PBS script. How can I get the time it took to run all three commands?

Hi guys! Wasn't sure if I wanted to post progress pics of my armor, since it's my first time painting anything (aside from my bucket). But you guys are all so great with your opinions... I figured I should.
So here are some pics... be easy on me :) It's my first time.
Won't hog too much space with pics this time... just 4-5.
The first is as it arrived, trimmed, primed and painted silver (courtesy of TK172)
The second is painted with base color, but before masking fluid has been removed.
The third is after masking fluid is removed.
The fourth and fifth are after some damage has been painted (weathering still needs to be done... also, my bucket is in one picture... just to give an idea of the color scheme)
Hope you enjoy!
Again, any feedback is welcome.
Thanks folks!

The act of performing analingus on another person. eatin butt can apply to heterosexual or homosexual analingus; it can be guy on guy, guy on girl, girl on guy, girl on girl. In gay sex, eatin butt is more extreme than rimming; rimming involves merely licking around the anus with no insertion of the tongue, while eatin butt involves full penetration of the anus with tongue. Usually eatin butt is done to lube and loosen up an asshole prior to fucking it.
Ron dumped his boyfriend cuz the guy farted while he was eatin butt, and he got a tongue fulla scat.

A Coffee Pilgrimage to Britain – Part 1
I recently had the opportunity to spend two weeks doing something I have dreamed of for many years; spending two weeks exploring the coffee culture in one of the Western world's oldest coffee cities – London.
I suppose I have always been something of an anglophile, but oddly enough with all of my travels around the world I had never spent any time in London. Probably because most of my travels professionally have been tied to countries of origin, not countries of consumption! When you factor in my near obsession with old British coffee technology, coupled with the presence there of several very good friends, you will understand that I finally had to get organized and get going!
My first week in London was spent in the company of my good friend Keith Holdup, a retired green coffee trader of renown that has spent, as have I, nearly his entire career in coffee. I don't think that there is much about coffee that Keith doesn't know, and I have availed myself of his knowledge and connections too many times to count. Keith lives in a historic small community on the outer edge of the London metropolitan area, where urban becomes rural.
After picking me up at the train station near his home, Keith and I proceeded to visit one of his favorite country pubs for pints of beer and pub sandwiches. (In addition to his expertise in coffee, Keith is also an aficionado of traditional English pubs, going so far as to having developed with a close friend of his their own private rating system for pubs. My kind of men, indeed!) Formerly a staple in every British neighborhood or community large or small, these traditional old pubs are beginning to fade away, losing their customer base to newer chains of modern eateries and drinking establishments. Hard to imagine England being England without these wonderful local establishments, where the granite thresholds have often been worn down an inch or more by the countless footsteps of ten or twelve generations of your forebears, coming in every day for a refreshing cask ale or spirits. I imagine it makes you think differently about running a business, when you consider that it has been opened for business daily since the 16th century. You don't own a business like that. You're taking your turn as its caretaker, knowing it actually belongs to the neighborhood or the village.
Mastering (or attempting to) London's excellent public transit system, I rode into the city daily on the Southeastern Railway line from the quaint, little station in Sunbury, an enjoyable 15 minute walk from my hotel in Bromley, to the terminals of either the London Bridge station for my destinations on the south bank of the Thames, or the Cannon Street station for destinations on the north bank. From these two stations, it was easy to transfer to the Underground for fast subway service almost everywhere in the city.
One of my first visits in London was with Ian Breminer and his team at Complete Coffee, a highly regarded green coffee trading firm with its offices located in a historic building down a narrow lane a few steps off the Borough High Street on the south bank of the Thames. Ian sits as a trustee with me on the board of CQI, and toured me about their business, including visits to several prominent London coffee roasters which I loved!
For those that have never been, the south bank of London was originally the old Victorian-era manufacturing district of London, much of which has (or is in the process of) being fixed up into trendy businesses, restaurants, hotels, and so forth. In contrast, the north bank sections of London have traditionally been the cultural, financial, and political centers. So great to see these beautiful old buildings being preserved, including Ian's, instead of being ignored (or worse) as they had been in the decades following the end of the War.
One of the things I enjoy the most about being in the coffee business is that everywhere I go – from Nairobi to Bogotá, New York to Addis – I discover other people in the coffee business are all so friendly and open. I really doesn't matter if they are a smallholder farmer, or a big importer. People seem to love being part of the coffee business, and it shows in how we behave with each other. Even competitors in this business are almost universally warm and friendly with each other, which is certainly not the case in most other industries! And without a doubt, my time in London really epitomized this wonderful coffee industry characteristic for me, and made me appreciate it even more. As I was with Ian at Complete Coffee, I was warmly welcomed by all of the coffee folks I met during my two week visit. Even if we met as total strangers, I was immediately made part of their family. I love that, and it's certainly how we try to be here at Coffee Bean International!

"AH, what is the matter?" asked Waldo, stopping at the foot of the ladder with a load of skins on his back that he was carrying up to the loft. Through the open door in the gable little Em was visible, her feet dangling from the high bench on which she sat. The room, once a store-room, had been divided by a row of "mealie" bags into two parts—the back being Bonaparte's bedroom, the front his school-room.
"Lyndall made him angry," said the girl tearfully; "and he has given me the fourteenth of John to learn. He says he will teach me to behave myself when Lyndall troubles him."
"What did she do?" asked the boy.page: 102
"You see," said Em, hopelessly turning the leaves, "whenever he talks she looks out at the door, as though she did not hear him. To-day she asked him what the signs of the Zodiac were, and he said he was surprised that she should ask him; it was not a fit and proper thing for little girls to talk about. Then she asked him who Copernicus was; and he said he was one of the Emperors of Rome, who burned the Christians in a golden pig, and the worms ate him up while he was still alive. I don't know why," said Em plaintively, "but she just put her books under her arm, and walked out; and she will never come to his school again, she says, and she always does what she says. And now I must sit here every day alone," said Em, the great tears dropping softly.
"Perhaps Tant' Sannie will send him away," said the boy, in his mumbling way, trying to comfort her.
"No," said Em, shaking her head; "no. page: 103 Last night, when the little Hottentot maid was washing her feet, he told her he liked such feet, and that fat women were so nice to him; and she said, I must always put him pure cream in his coffee now. No; he'll never go away," said Em dolorously.
The boy put down his skins and fumbled in his pocket, and produced a small piece of paper containing something. He stuck it out toward her.
"There, take it for you," he said. This was by way of comfort.
Em opened it and found a small bit of gum; but the great tears dropped down slowly on to it.
Waldo was distressed. He had cried so much in his morsel of life that tears in another seemed to burn him.
"If," he said, stepping in awkwardly and standing by the table, "if you will not cry I will tell you something—a secret."page: 104
"What is that?" asked Em, instantly becoming decidedly better.
"You will tell it to no human being?"
He bent nearer to her, and with deep solemnity said,—
"I have made a machine!"
The girl opened her eyes.
"Yes; a machine for shearing sheep. It is almost done," said the boy. "There is only one thing that is not right yet; but it will be soon. When you think, and think, and think, all night and all day, it comes at last," he added mysteriously.
"Where is it?"
"Here! I always carry it here," said the boy, putting his hand to his breast, where a bulging-out was visible. "This is a model. When it is done they will have to make a large one."
"Show it me."page: 105
The boy shook his head.
"No, not till it is done. I cannot let any human being see it till then."
"It is a beautiful secret," said Em; and the boy shuffled out to pick up his skins.
That evening father and son sat in the cabin eating their supper. The father sighed deeply sometimes. Perhaps he thought how long a time it was since Bonaparte had visited the cabin; but his son was in that land in which sighs have no part. It is a question whether it were not better to be the shabbiest of fools, and know the way up the little stair of imagination to the land of dreams, than the wisest of men, who see nothing that the eyes do not show, and feel nothing that the hands do not touch. The boy chewed his brown bread and drank his coffee; but in truth he saw only his machine finished—that last something found out and added. He saw it as it worked with beautiful smoothness; and over and above, as he chewed page: 106 his bread and drank his coffee, there was that delightful consciousness of something bending over him and loving him. It would not have been better in one of the courts of heaven, where the walls are set with rows of the King of Glory's amethysts and milk-white pearls, than there, eating his supper in that little room.
As they sat in silence there was a knock at the door. When it was opened the small woolly head of a little nigger showed itself. She was a messenger from Tant' Sannie: the German was wanted at once at the homestead. Putting on his hat with both hands, he hurried off. The kitchen was in darkness, but in the pantry beyond, Tant' Sannie and her maids were assembled.
A Kaffir girl, who had been grinding pepper between two stones, knelt on the floor, the lean Hottentot stood with a brass candlestick in her hand, and Tant' Sannie, near the shelf, with a page: 107 hand on each hip, was evidently listening intently, as were her companions.
"What may it be?" cried the old German in astonishment.
The room beyond the pantry was the store-room. Through the thin wooden partition there arose at that instant, evidently from some creature ensconced there, a prolonged and prodigious howl, followed by a succession of violent blows against the partition wall.
The German seized the churn-stick, and was about to rush round the house, when the Boer-woman impressively laid her hand upon his arm.
"That is his head," said Tant' Sannie, "that is his head."
"But what might it be?" asked the German, looking from one to the other, churn-stick in hand.
A low hollow bellow prevented reply, and the voice of Bonaparte lifted itself on high.
"Mary-Ann! my angel! my wife!"page: 108
"Isn't it dreadful?" said Tant' Sannie, as the blows were repeated fiercely. "He has got a letter: his wife is dead. You must go and comfort him," said Tant' Sannie at last, "and I will go with you. It would not be the thing for me to go alone—me, who am only thirty-three, and he an unmarried man now," said Tant' Sannie, blushing and smoothing out her apron.
Upon this they all trudged round the house in company—the Hottentot maid carrying the light, Tant' Sannie and the German following, and the Kaffir girl bringing up the rear.
"Oh," said Tant' Sannie, "I see now it wasn't wickedness made him do without his wife so long—only necessity."
At the door she motioned to the German to enter, and followed him closely. On the stretcher behind the sacks Bonaparte lay on his face, his head pressed into a pillow, his legs kicking gently. The Boer-woman sat down on a box at page: 109 the foot of the bed. The German stood with folded hands looking on.
"We must all die," said Tant' Sannie at last; "it is the dear Lord's will."
Bonaparte, hearing her voice, turned himself on to his back.
"It's very hard," said Tant' Sannie, "I know, for I've lost two husbands."
Bonaparte looked up into the German's face.
"Oh, what does she say? Speak to me words of comfort!"
The German repeated Tant' Sannie's remark.
"Ah, I—I also! Two dear, dear wives, whom I shall never see any more!" cried Bonaparte, flinging himself back upon the bed.
He howled till the tarantulas, who lived between the rafters and the zinc roof, felt the unusual vibration, and looked out with their wicked bright eyes, to see what was going on.
Tant' Sannie sighed, the Hottentot maid sighed, the Kaffir girl who looked in at the page: 110 door put her hand over her mouth and said "Mow—wah!"
"You must trust in the Lord," said Tant' Sannie. "He can give you more than you have lost."
"I do, I do!" he cried; "but oh, I have no wife! I have no wife!"
Tant' Sannie was much affected, and came and stood near the bed.
"Ask him if he won't have a little pap—nice, fine, flour pap. There is some boiling on the kitchen fire."
The German made the proposal; but the widower waved his hand.
"No, nothing shall pass my lips. I should be suffocated. No, no! Speak not of food to me!"
"Pap, and a little brandy in," said Tant' Sannie coaxingly.
Bonaparte caught the word.
"Perhaps, perhaps—if I struggled with myself page: 111 —for the sake of my duties I might imbibe a few drops," he said, looking with quivering lip up into the German's face. "I must do my duty, must I not?"
Tant' Sannie gave the order, and the girl went for the pap.
"I know how it was when my first husband died. They could do nothing with me," the Boer-woman said, "till I had eaten a sheep's trotter and honey, and a little roaster-cake. I know."
Bonaparte sat up on the bed with his legs stretched out in front of him, and a hand on each knee, blubbering softly.
"Oh, she was a woman! You are very kind to try and comfort me, but she was my wife. For a woman that is my wife I could live; for the woman that is my wife I could die! For a woman that is my wife I could— Ah! that sweet word wife; when will it rest upon my lips again?"page: 112
When his feelings had subsided a little he raised the corners of his turned-down mouth, and spoke to the German with flabby lips.
"Do you think she understands me? Oh, tell her every word, that she may know I thank her."
At that instant the girl reappeared with a basin of steaming gruel and a black bottle.
Tant' Sannie poured some of its contents into the basin, stirred it well, and came to the bed.
"Oh, I can't, I can't! I shall die! I shall die!" said Bonaparte, putting his hands to his side.
"Come, just a little," said Tant' Sannie coaxingly; "just a drop."
"It's too thick, it's too thick. I should choke."
Tant' Sannie added something from the bottle and held out a spoonful; Bonaparte opened his mouth like a little bird waiting for a worm, and page: 113 held it open, as she dipped again and again into the pap.
"Ah, this will do your heart good," said Tant' Sannie, in whose mind the relative functions of heart and stomach were exceedingly ill-defined.
When the basin was emptied the violence of his grief was much assuaged; he looked at Tant' Sannie with gentle tears.
"Tell him," said the Boer-woman, "that I hope he will sleep well, and that the Lord will comfort him, as the Lord only can."
"Bless you, dear friend, God bless you," said Bonaparte.
When the door was safely shut he got off the bed and washed away the soap he had rubbed on his eyelids.
"Bon," he said, slapping his leg, "you're the 'cutest lad I ever came across. If you don't turn out the old Hymns-and-prayers, and pummel the Ragged-coat, and get your arms round the page: 114 fat one's waist and a wedding-ring on her finger, then you are not Bonaparte. But you are Bonaparte. Bon, you're a fine boy!"
Making which pleasing reflection, he pulled off his trousers and got into bed cheerfully.

Cushing Academy used to have 20,000 books in its library. But over the summer, this small Massachusetts high school began to replace printed books with electronic books, or e-books. Why? "The school wanted to put its focus on 21st-century learning," Tom Corbett, the library's executive director, told TFK. Few students were using library books to do their school assignments. Most did their research online. Transforming the library seemed like the best way to meet students' needs. Without a print collection to care for, Corbett says librarians can now concentrate on helping students use the online collection in new and better ways. They can also work with teachers to bring technology into the classroom.
More Books, More Reading
Teacher Nancy Boyle says her students still enjoy regular books. But they're also testing out the Kindle, an electronic reader (see "Meet an E-Reader"). So far, it's been a success. "It's great," Boyle told TFK. "The kids are reading more."
Sixteen-year-old Meghan Chenausky was skeptical at first. "I love the feeling of books," she told TFK. "I really thought I was going to be missing out when I started using a Kindle. But now I absolutely love using it. It's so convenient. You can have so many books right at your fingertips."
Meet an E-Reader
Can your backpack fit 1,500 books? An e-reader can. Most e-readers are pencil-thin and weigh less than a pound. They can download an e-book in 60 seconds. Don't understand the meaning of a word? Click on it to get the definition. Is the print too small? An e-reader can adjust the size.
E-readers aren't cheap, but it costs the school just $5 or $10 to download an e-book on as many as six e-readers. "Now, students have access to a million titles," Corbett says.
Still, regular books have one big advantage over e-readers: They don't use electricity. E-readers have to be charged, like cell phones.

what did she do..?
what did she do..?
She was involved with the World Skating Federation.
As the International Sports Court (or whatever it's called) ruled on appeal earlier this year, if you attempt a revolution and fail, you are at the mercy of the victors.
What was their reason for banning her? Was this before she was part of the WFS?Originally Posted by Mathman
If this was after the WFS, then why would she even think of running for Prez?
I thought, and i might be wrong, that Stapleford was banned for life for whistleblowing since she was the one who reported on the Legougne confession in SLC. I thought that that was what all the controversy was at the time that the whistelblowers got life and the cheaters got a wrap on the knuckles and a couple of seasons ban. On the back of that i think someone tried to appeal the ban for the whistleblowers and that failed so then they all joined in with the WSF and challenged the ISU...but failed again.Originally Posted by Joesitz
Such is the dictatorship of the ISU.
Ant - Yes, it is a horrible story regarding Stapleford, a skater and lover of skating to be prevented from participating in her sport for life. But did she ever run for Prez? I don't recall her challenging Speedy before or after whistleblowing.
I kind of like to see her run and win.
I don't think she ever did run for president, she was the head of the technical committee or something like that at the time of the SLC scandal.Originally Posted by Joesitz
She's still a bigwig in british skating...not that that helps her try to overthrow the ISU though!

I know it is illegal to fabricate a fully automatic firearm, but what are the legalities of fabricating your own silencer? Do you need to have an FFL to do it, or can you apply for a tax stamp and build one?

I know it is illegal to fabricate a fully automatic firearm, but what are the legalities of fabricating your own silencer? Do you need to have an FFL to do it, or can you apply for a tax stamp and build one?
You need to file a form 1, pay $200 tax.
Submit your paper work and get approval before you start your build.
MGs are the only NFA item that was banned from civillian ownership or manufacture. With an approved Form 1 you can build any other NFA item you want.
Like far too many you do not indicate your state of residence. Some communist states do not allow silencers. The Form 1 requires the same stuff as a Form 4, namely a CLEO signature, picture, fingerprints, one time $200 tax.
http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-5320-1.pdf (Instructions included.)
Of course, if your CLEO is clueless and won't sign you can form a corporation and file your forms anyway. It avoids need for Pics, signature and FP cards. Any officers of the corp can then possess the item, say your wife or adult children. If the corp is sold, the NFA items go with it but do not need a tax paid transfer to do so as long as the corp name is retained.
DO NOT build the item or any part of it prior to getting the approved form 1 back!!!!!! Be sure to keep copies of the approved form 1 in a safe place OTHER than with the NFA item!!!!!!!!
Sorry for my ignorance but I am looking at the Form 1 right now... Would I just make up a serial number for the silencer that doesn't exist yet then?
Yes; Check state laws. Can't get NFA stamp in Missouri without first holding FFL.
Ask me how I found out>>> Heh....Heh
Also, if you make any mistake on form & it's denied.........Don't
expect your $200.00 back any time soon.
Yes, you are the mfg, make up whatever sn you like.
Excellent! Thanks!
Oh yeah.... don't make "spare parts" to have around. Parts are considered silencers in and of themselves. Stupid, yes, but that's the way they interpret it.

As the title says, assuming we are then able to check at least every couple of weeks on stores so they don't strarve, when can we count a hive as made it through?
As the title says, assuming we are then able to check at least every couple of weeks on stores so they don't strarve, when can we count a hive as made it through?
JMO- but I'd say if they're raising drones they've completed the cycle.
Never ?
Here in Vermont...when the Dandelion flow starts.
Dandelion.......... I should have thought of that..
Red maple in Fl.
Im really not that serious
I relax when my bees start their February brood cycle.
Bees can and do starve out regularly in late spring when they are brooding up big and you get a week of cold and rain. This can be during and after Dandelions!
Swarm cells!
April 1 is when I count hives to determine loses from the past year and the number that I am starting with in the current year. For my area March is a great starvation month. I have to keep my eye on them. They seem to want to raise brood but can't get out because of the rain.
I'm thinking when July hits. lol
April sounds about right.
If there is still open brood a week after I touched the hive in the spring.
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
This is very location specific. For us we have dandelions in December through May, without a real massive flow from them. Our maples start in February, but everything shuts down again for a while after the maples and you can certainly lose colonies during this mini-dearth. I've lost hives during this period and have only beekeeper neglect to blame. So allowing for "neglect", I'd say the first real flow after the maples (typically fruit trees). However, assuming you're a good beekeeper, then if your bees make it to the maples, then you're probably in good shape, but watch them carefully - especially your biggest colonies.
Everyone knows there is only one season in Florida ! You know they've survived because you can see cleansing flights. Don't keep opening the hive either, your letting their little bit of heat out.
for me it is when the dandelions have started to pop.
not sure here. i guess it would be when they start gaining instead of losing weight.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Being sick and tired of losing perfectly good hives during winter I am putting my ear against the hive bodies this year from time to time to hear them buzzing. If I don't hear anything I am not waiting until spring to see if they can be saved with some intervention. At least I can plan rather than get disappointed when the dandelions are in bloom and I have no bees.
Listening allows me to hear if they are moving up or down also. Some people use this movement to see if they have used up their stores.
If so, they need to be fed sugar syrup.
It warmed up here enough today for them to break cluster and get out. Unfortunately, about 30 chilled on the top cover and died. I did take a peek inside thru the inside cover and saw some activity when I added some sugar for them to munch on. Temps are going to be in the 50 and 60 degree range the next few days, then cold again. Thought they might need a snack.
Once it stops raining for more than an hour. Mid april.
I'm not tense, Just terribly, terribly alert!
The reason I asked was because I know I need to sell off some of my over wintered nucs. Was hoping for an earlier date so I could decide how many I need to sell without leaving myself short on bees. I guess I'm just going to have to make a decision and advertise them now and just HOPE I don't leave myself with less than I wanted.

Where I stayed
Rolling Hills Casino
So, after a very short and relatively uneventful trip we arrived in Corning, CA. You may be asking yourself 'why Corning?'. Well, there is a casino here that has a very nice campground and it is a reasonable drive for everyone. In fact the drive was right around 200 miles for all of us. We arrived, set up and immediately made a phone call for a window 'chip' repairman. Yep, after over four years in our current 'house' and a little over 56,000 miles we got our first rock chip to that big ole' windshield.
But things would get even more interesting. Seems that all of our friends had chips that needed repairing, so we made arrangements for a local glass company to come out in the morning to fix all of them ( 5 in total ) - all the chips, with the exception of ours, were 'old'. The interesting part? Well, our friend Larry showed up with a blown seal on his left front hub seal - something he had just had repaired the day before.
Now, I won't get all techincal on you, because quite honestly, I don't really understand it. Suffice it to say that it wasn't a good thing! I pulled out my handy Verizon Droid phone and using my 'Where.com' app found a local mobile big rig repair person. (by the way, it's the same app I used to find the winshield guy....) The repair person showed up within 30 minutes, diagnosed the problem and started in on the repair. Did I mention that we have given our friend Larry an Indian name? We have taken to calling him 'Black Cloud'!
So, we are here at the casino campground having a great bbq dinner, enjoying the company of good friends and wondering what will happen next. Because, after all, this is only day one of a 101 day trip! Stay tuned!!!

It seams like having your ONLY in-extremis force unavailable out on a training mission is a bit irresponsible.
Being a Soldier on a training exercise is not the same. You may (or may not) have some live ammunition with you. Small arms only ( depending upon what type of range you are at) at best. You would probably not have a full complement of ordnance (combat load) with you. Arranging ground transportation to an airfield, coordinating air transportation, where will you land, how will you be transported to the site, communications procedures, link up procedures with those "in extremis", medical evacuation plans. There are a lot of moving pieces.
I know you meant well. Not even remotely comparable. That is why we build contingency plans and have units on alert status to be prepare for this.
I think the fancy name and the MSM have blown the cif out of proportion, the CIF is a special forces company tasked almost exclusively with direct action in support of UW/coin operations.
History will show that the Obama administration ignored threats that had already ocurred, and also the potential for attacks in the most dangerous area in the world, at an especially dangerous time-9/11 anniversary.
History will also show, that Obama was negligent in the handling of the situation once it began, i.e. going to bed, and was callous, going to Las Vegas the day after.
a civilian calling the shots? No. He is asked for authorization when necessary. Technically he could jump in and tell all of the reinforcements to stand down, but if you believe he stood down career military without a hellish response you must be one of those conspiracy nuts.
Some have alluded to a CIA operation in the area. We know that Stevens and the aide were killed at the Passport Office. Later, 2 CIA security guards were killed at the CIA building while getting 23 CIA employees to safety AND 7 passport employees. FOX is saying that Stevens was in secret negotiations with CIA and Turkey to move arms to the Rebels in Syria. We didn't want to upset radical Muslims.
This is exactly what happened. There was no "terror attack", this was an arms deal that went to shite and the administration has been trying to cover its arse ever since.
This is exactly what happened. There was no "terror attack", this was an arms deal that went to shite and the administration has been trying to cover its arse ever since.
To be honest. I'd never heard of them before. And I've spent time at Stuttgart. Seems like it would be assigned on a rotating basis. "Hey "unit A" you're the CIF this week. Have you shite ready to go", " unit B, you're on deck for next week, enjoy your week off training or chasing arse in Germany or whatever it is you guys do"
There is no question the CIA had an unusual amount of agents in the area. Something doesn't add up about this entire situation when you step back and look at it.
On the night of Sept. 11, in what would become his last known public meeting, Stevens met with the Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin, and escorted him out of the consulate front gate one hour before the assault began at approximately 9:35 p.m. local time.
Although what was discussed at the meeting is not public, a source told Fox News that Stevens was in Benghazi to negotiate a weapons transfer, an effort to get SA-7 missiles out of the hands of Libya-based extremists. And although the negotiation said to have taken place may have had nothing to do with the attack on the consulate later that night or the Libyan mystery ship, it could explain why Stevens was travelling in such a volatile region on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
When asked to comment, a State Department spokeswoman dismissed the idea, saying Stevens was there for diplomatic meetings, and to attend the opening of a cultural center.
A congressional source also cautioned against drawing premature conclusions about the consulate attack and the movement of weapons from Libya to Syria via Turkey -- noting they may in fact be two separate and distinct events. But the source acknowledged the timing and the meeting between the Turkish diplomat and Stevens was "unusual."
According to an initial Sept. 14 report by the Times of London, Al Entisar was carrying 400 tons of cargo. Some of it was humanitarian, but also reportedly weapons, described by the report as the largest consignment of weapons headed for Syria's rebels on the frontlines.
"This is the Libyan ship ... which is basically carrying weapons that are found in Libya," said Walid Phares, a Fox News Middle East and terrorism analyst. "So the ship came all the way up to Iskenderun in Turkey. Now from the information that is available, there was aid material, but there were also weapons, a lot of weapons."
The cargo reportedly included surface-to-air anti-aircraft missiles, RPG's and Russian-designed shoulder-launched missiles known as MANPADS.
The ship's Libyan captain told the Times of London that "I can only talk about the medicine and humanitarian aid" for the Syrian rebels. It was reported there was a fight about the weapons and who got what "between the free Syrian Army and the Muslim Brotherhood."
What is more concerning is the SF element that had been supporting the DOS compound
I haven't been following this as closely as you guys have. How do we know the SF element in Tripoli was in direct support of DOS? It makes sense logically of course. But I just recently heard about these guys
What is more concerning is the SF element that had been supporting the DOS compound was not used when they were readily available (in Tripoi) and knew the terrain (physical and human). They were the organization that was not permitted to deploy and could have made a difference.

no curbs… this definitely looks wasted. she should have stick to her original hair. no wigs. this really looks awful to her. she doesn't look sexy either… i think if you wanted to shoot a lingerie bra and panty, she could have had twisted her hips a little, to show some curbs. even if it is just fake.. this really looks like she is 15 years old in here. although she is 21… actually its not a compliment… i think if you are old enough like in the middle and late 20's and up, and someone told you, you look like 20, or 19, 18… now that's a compliment.

Former US vice-president and climate crusader Al Gore has urged Australians not to write off Prime Minister Julia Gillard, suggesting that she still had time to turn around opinion poll results.
The outspoken advocate for action on climate change praised Ms Gillard's "courage and vision" while questioning the merits of Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's direct-action policy to cut carbon emissions.
Mr Gore's comments came as Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury identified the carbon tax as a key issue hurting Labor in crucial election battlegrounds in western Sydney.
Mr Bradbury said cost of living pressures continued to be ''an enormous challenge for people''.
''There's no question that the very difficult decision that we've taken around pricing carbon has been a real challenge for us out in the community and I've had a huge number of conversations with local residents, some in my office, out and about in the community,'' he told ABC TV's Q&A program on Monday night.
''When you get the opportunity to sit down and explain to people what it is we've done and why we've done it, quite often people are very receptive to that message.''
Leader of opposition business Christopher Pyne said western Sydney was a key battleground but was emblematic of suburban areas in other cities.
Mr Pyne said Labor's brand was poor in those areas because of concerns over cost of living and job security – issues put in stark focus by the Gillard government's introduction of a carbon tax in July last year.
''I think voters in western Sydney are terrified of the price of electricity and the cost running through all of the things they purchase,'' Mr Pyne said.
Opposition climate spokesman Greg Hunt said an "electricity tax" was incredibly inefficient."It doesn't do the job and it does enormous damage to Australia's competitiveness," he told Sky News on Tuesday.
The Coalition has vowed to axe the carbon pricing scheme, which is due to convert from a ''tax'' on big emitters to a market-based emissions trading scheme in 2015.
Mr Gore, who has campaigned for action against climate change for years, said he had a ''great deal of faith and confidence in the people of Australia'' and he would watch the election outcome closely.
''Well, if I were a citizen of your country – I am not, so I don't wish to interfere in your politics – but I would certainly question the conclusion that public opinion polls are going to decide the outcome of an election so far away,'' he told ABC TV's Lateline program.
''I'm very impressed with your current prime minister. I think she's shown a great deal of courage and vision. And I think that Australians may look very carefully at the progress that has taken place and also look at the very powerful evidence that the climate crisis is having a very harsh impact on Australia, as predicted, as your own scientists have eloquently warned over and over again.''
Asked about the opposition's plan to embrace ''direct action'' such as planting trees and providing financial incentives to cut emissions, Mr Gore said such a policy had ''not worked anywhere''.
''Either we are serious about confronting this crisis or we are not,'' he said.
''We really have to rise to this challenge and I refuse to believe that we will not.''
In a sign of the difficulties of ensuring big polluting countries worked to cut emissions, Mr Gore said there was good news and bad news in China.
''The bad news is they're still building another new coal plant every 10 days or so and their pollution levels are so high now that admissions to hospitals for respiratory ailments have been multiplied five times over,'' he said.
''But the good news is that there are increasing protests from the people of China, and their new leadership, taking power formally next month, appears to be strongly committed to forward the movement on reforms.''
The comments came before the resumption of federal parliament on Tuesday for the first sitting of the year, with an election set for September 14.

Hardware 12 - SpineTech Beta Now Open
Posted on 18th Jun 2010 at 10:10 by Podcast with 9 comments
Now that we've recovered from Computex 2010 and got things into some semblance of order in our lives, we can reflect on what the show had to offer. Exactly why was Nvidia harping on about 3D when the rest of the show was tablet mad? Could it be that Nvidia has some high-end graphics cards to shift, perhaps? We look back at Asus' huge Immensity motherboard, PowerColor's crazy HD 5770 range and why ARM are feeling so confident at the moment.

Back in the good old days, it was really easy for good keen blokes to get unstuck when their flamin' 4WD got stuck on the way to their huntin', campin' or fishin' site.
Not so much any more.
Back then, the Land Rovers, F-series Land Cruisers and assorted other 4WDs you met off the road were angular and tough and a perfect receptacle for the world's best getting-unstuck tool, the high-lift jack.
Invented as a farm tool more than a century ago in the USA, the high-lift is an anvil-tough spindly and fairly dangerous ratchet jack that could lift a corner or side of a vehicle a metre or so off the ground on its ribbed tongue.
So you'd just put the tongue under, say, a bumper and pump away on the jack's long handle until there was enough clearance to build- p or firm the ground under the stuck wheel or wheels.
Stuck in a bog? No problem; any keen bloke knew how to convert the high-lift jack into a winch, using the coil of wire under the seat.
She'll be right, and she usually was.
Vehicles were simpler, too, so mechanically inclined blokes could do big repairs with a couple of screwdrivers, a mallet and a crescent wrench. Today's 4WDs are complex and fixing problems isn't easy, even a bloody great hole if you know how.
A few years ago, when a Toyota's right front disc brake pad broke in two, I watched a guy nonchalantly get out his chain saw and fashion a new one from a piece of fallen tree branch. He made a second to even out the other side and they worked fine, all the way home.
Do that today and a sensor would probably burn itself out sending frantic error messages to the computer.
Today's 4WDs, for the most part, don't lend themselves well to the repair and recovery techniques of old. Most don't have anywhere to put the tongue of the high-lift, and most don't have the high clearances and the good approach and departure angles that help avoid getting stuck in the first place.
Spending lots of money in the aftermarket can make a new 4WD "good keen bloke-ready". You can buy steel front and rear bumpers, strong side bars, a winch, a suspension and/or body lift and larger tyres to get more clearance.
Or maybe forget that and just buy an old one that already has the stuff and spend a bit of the money saved to bring it to top condition.
Another way is to find hunting and fishing spots that aren't so hard to get to.
However, all is not lost if you do want to head along tougher tracks. Here's what to do.
1. If where you're going is out of cellphone range, carry a locator beacon or a sat-phone.
2. Don't panic. If you get stuck, step back and think through how best to get out. Rushing into something often makes the predicament worse.
3. Despite what's said about high-lift jacks above, adapters are available to hook one onto wheel rims and bumpers. Go to a good 4WD supplies shop and see if something will fit your vehicle.
4. If you can't high-lift, get a decent scissors or hydraulic jack, probably one much better than the one that came with the vehicle. Get one with a long arm or handle, or carry something that can be used as an extension. Carry a decent hunk of wood to put the jack on; the block will stop it sinking, and will help distribute the load.
5. Carry a spade and maybe also a shovel. It's surprising how often you can get the rig unstuck with some judicious track modification.
6. Carry a tyre gauge because deflating the tyres, perhaps to around 18psi, can be of great help in some situations, such as being stuck in mud. Carry a good tyre inflater to pump them up later. Be conservative with the amount of deflation if the 4WD has low profile tyres; the rubber might come off the rim.
7. Carry strips of old carpet, mats or anything that can work as a friction surface under tyres. A better but costly alternative is a set of vehicle recovery tracks of tough plastic.
8. Get a winch. You don't need a bolted-on winch for occasional use; get a good hand winch, often known as a Tirfor. That's the name of the company that invented the winch but now it's generic for a portable puller that takes a lot of muscle power to work, but it will get you out. It will also pull front, back or sideways.
9. Don't think that one of those little ratchet winches meant for pulling a few hundred kilograms will do the job. You're in man's country now; it'll just break and ruin the day.
10. Don't get stuck in the first place. There's more to off-roading than aiming and hoping. Stop and read the terrain; what are the options? Is there another way? Would a bit of precautionary digging make an obstacle passable? Have someone outside guiding you through tight spots.
Best of all travel in a group of two or three vehicles. Make sure one person knows about off-road recovery techniques; that he really is a good keen man.
