When it comes to dealing with new taxes, landscape gardener Patrick Soars doesn't beat around the bush. It says a lot about the dilemma the Rudd government is facing over its proposed mining revenue shake-up that, while Treasurer Wayne Swan has been fending off brickbats from the likes of entrepreneur Clive Palmer, a tax revolt has been blooming in the leafy suburbs where voters live.
Soars, the managing director of Australian Native Landscapes, fears the tax on the super profits of mining companies will hurt his landscaping business, based in Sydney's Terrey Hills.
"The supply of millions of tonnes of fertiliser is going to be tied to this joke of a tax," he says.
"It'll push our costs up, because we produce a lot of consumer products like potting mixes which unfortunately we'll have to pass on."
Soars is one of a growing number of people who fear the reach of the tax, which was proposed by the federal Treasury as a way of better reaping the benefits of a longer than expected commodities boom.
It is unclear if the government will apply the tax to low-value resources – contrary to the recommendations of the Henry review – which would hit commodities such as fertiliser and the raw materials used to make cement, concrete and bricks.
Ken Slattery, chief executive of the peak body for the heavy construction materials industry, says if the tax is applied it will "inevitably drive up the cost of many vital building materials".
He says a tax on low-cost commodities would hit family businesses alongside its intended target, the mining giants.
"There are hundreds of quarries in every state supporting every town and city," says Slattery, who heads Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia.
"Many are small, family owned operations that are important regional employers."
A government policy document predicted low-value projects would "benefit most" from a switch to a state-based royalty regime to the profits tax scheme.
And Deloitte tax partner Darren Lee says a 40 per cent super tax, based on revenue less extraction costs, could work out cheaper than a state royalty, which is "usually charged at an ad valorem rate on output".
But Slattery isn't buying the argument. "Most quarry products are not actually subject to state royalties," he says. "They're all on private land. It's a little different to a large mining lease, which is very frequently on crown land."
Tom McCann, managing director of Geelong Lime in Victoria, is a case in point.
His family owned business, which makes agricultural limestone, doesn't pay state royalties because it owns its quarry land. He says it's too early to speculate, but "having a small processing outfit out here, we're a bit frightened".
Swan may find more support closer to home in rural Queensland, where Dalby Rural Supplies senior agronomist Andrew Johnson predicts a silver lining in the tax. He says it could prove a boon by deterring mining behemoths from targeting "prime agricultural land", freeing it up for use by locals.
Mr Soars said the reduced company tax rate promised as a trade off was cold comfort.
Greg Bonday, CEO of the Institute of Quarrying Australia was less relaxed about the regulatory burden the tax would produce.
"A lot of them [quarries], don't forget, are mum and dad operations. They're not BHPs. Does Mr Swan realise this?", he said.

I have six hives in my backyard. I plan to start a seventh hive in April and get a new Carneolan queen from Kelley Bees. I plan to take some frames of brood from several of my existing strong hives to put in the new hive. I was wondering if I should move the brood frames into the new hive several days before I pick up the new queen and install her so that the odor of the old queens (from the several hives I pulled the brood from) has dissipated somewhat? If I delay like this, will the bees immediately start to make new queens from eggs in the brood frames I moved over? There will no doubt be a few new eggs in them. If they do start to make new queens, will this make them reject the new Carny queen, and if they do not kill her, what will happen to the new queen cells when they emerge with the Carny in there?
Thanks for any advice. Jim

El Dorado HTML version
For The Sake Of That Helpless Innocent
The next instant he was kneeling on the floor and his hands were wandering over
the small, irregular flagstones immediately underneath the table. Marguerite had
risen to her feet; she watched her husband with intent and puzzled eyes; she
saw him suddenly pass his slender fingers along a crevice between two
flagstones, then raise one of these slightly and from beneath it extract a small
bundle of papers, each carefully folded and sealed. Then he replaced the stone
and once more rose to his knees.
He gave a quick glance toward the doorway. That corner of his cell, the recess
wherein stood the table, was invisible to any one who had not actually crossed
the threshold. Reassured that his movements could not have been and were not
watched, he drew Marguerite closer to him.
"Dear heart," he whispered, "I want to place these papers in your care. Look
upon them as my last will and testament. I succeeded in fooling those brutes one
day by pretending to be willing to accede to their will. They gave me pen and ink
and paper and wax, and I was to write out an order to my followers to bring the
Dauphin hither. They left me in peace for one quarter of an hour, which gave me
time to write three letters--one for Armand and the other two for Ffoulkes, and to
hide them under the flooring of my cell. You see, dear, I knew that you would
come and that I could give them to you then."
He paused, and that, ghost of a smile once more hovered round his lips. He was
thinking of that day when he had fooled Heron and Chauvelin into the belief that
their devilry had succeeded, and that they had brought the reckless adventurer to
his knees. He smiled at the recollection of their wrath when they knew that they
had been tricked, and after a quarter of an hour s anxious waiting found a few
sheets of paper scribbled over with incoherent words or satirical verse, and the
prisoner having apparently snatched ten minutes' sleep, which seemingly had
restored to him quite a modicum of his strength.
But of this he told Marguerite nothing, nor of the insults and the humiliation which
he had had to bear in consequence of that trick. He did not tell her that directly
afterwards the order went forth that the prisoner was to be kept on bread and
water in the future, nor that Chauvelin had stood by laughing and jeering while ...
No! he did not tell her all that; the recollection of it all had still the power to make
him laugh; was it not all a part and parcel of that great gamble for human lives
wherein he had held the winning cards himself for so long?
"It is your turn now," he had said even then to his bitter enemy.
"Yes!" Chauvelin had replied, "our turn at last. And you will not bend my fine
English gentleman, we'll break you yet, never fear."
It was the thought of it all, of that hand to hand, will to will, spirit to spirit struggle
that lighted up his haggard face even now, gave him a fresh zest for life, a desire
to combat and to conquer in spite of all, in spite of the odds that had martyred his
body but left the mind, the will, the power still unconquered.
He was pressing one of the papers into her hand, holding her fingers tightly in
his, and compelling her gaze with the ardent excitement of his own.

Mitch Daniels was the numbers guy. New York Times columnist David Brooks called him a "serious, competent manager." As governor during the recession, he improved Indiana's bond rating to AAA, turning the state into what he calls "the peony in the parking lot." As the head of George W. Bush's Office of Management and Budget, Daniels set himself unspectacular goals of competence, such as reducing wait time at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles by three-quarters. Then he achieved them. Sure, he picked fights with teachers, but he also hired social services case workers to go after deadbeat dads. And he suggested in a 2011 profile by the Weekly Standard that the next president "would have to call a truce on the so-called social issues" and focus on economics. Daniels is wildly popular in Indiana and rides a Harley. But he stands at only 5 feet, 7 inches, which means he can't possibly ever be president of the United States, so after his second term in Indiana, he settled for president of Purdue University.
So an Eisenhower Republican, not a fire-eater. Which turns the e-mails released by the Associated Press on Wednesday from silly to baffling. Look at Daniels's public record, and it's hard to believe that he would have wasted time on something as petty as ridding state curricula of the works of Howard Zinn, a historian who focused on labor and economic unrest in America. But then there's the document (PDF). After Zinn died in February 2010, Daniels e-mailed Tony Bennett, his superintendent of public instruction, calling Zinn's A People's History of the United States a "truly execrable, anti-factual piece of disinformation that misstates American history on every page." That's fine. Who among us hasn't practiced a little amateur historiography among colleagues? And let's assume for the sake of argument that Zinn's focus on public dissent, such as the Whiskey Rebellion and turn-of-the-century coal strikes, is both execrable and anti-factual. And that Zinn himself was, as Daniels writes, "anti-American." Whatever that means.
Why go through the trouble of wiping Zinn out of the state curriculum? Daniels pursues his initial query, "Can someone assure me that it is not in use anywhere in Indiana," all the way down an e-mail chain to an action plan. He suggests a quiet, closer examination of the state's professional development program for teachers, where Zinn is found on a syllabus. "Go for it," writes Daniels, "disqualify the propaganda." First of all, this is not censorship. You can still get a copy of A People's History of the United States in libraries in Indiana. Daniels never suggested that the right to read it be revoked. And curriculum standards do fall ultimately under the authority of the governor. But it's hard to argue that it's an efficient use of executive time.
More than either of these minor sins, though, Daniel's e-mails betray a lack of courage. Conservatives have always feared the academy. In his first book, God and Man at Yale, a young William F. Buckley alerted parents that they were paying colleges to corrupt their own children. In the war of ideas, then, conservatives would win, were it not for the labor-loving feminists who went for the children. This has always assumed that children are stupid—that they cannot be trusted, when confronted with two ideas, to decide which is the better one. (Or that both ideas have merit.) Yet for decades, despite growing college enrollment, America has continued to regularly send Republicans to Congress and the White House.
The problem for Republicans is not colleges, or teachers, or even cranky anti-American professors. There is, in fact, a war of ideas. Republicans should trust that their ideas are the better ones without having to intervene on the syllabus of a summer course for Indiana high school teachers, making sure a historian of social movements is not included in a course titled "Social Movements in Modern America." Mitch Daniels' e-mails aren't evil or criminal. They're just embarrassing.

This feature allows you to set up email alerts in relation to survey submissions. These alerts could be sent to you to inform you that a survey has been submitted, or they could go to participants as a thank-you message.
One of the most powerful way to trigger an email alert is based on a participant's survey responses. In this case, choose the question of interest, then identify the answer or answers that tell SoGoSurvey to generate an alert.
In this case, the alert can let you know when something has gone wrong (a customer gives your product a bad review), when something has gone according to plan (a job applicant clicks on the checkbox that is aligned with a certain position), or simply an action should be taken based on the response (a customer asking for a return authorization on a product under warranty).
Whichever type of rule you choose, the email can be sent to any of several recipients, including:
- The participant
- A designated list of certain email addresses, separated by commas
- A pre-created SoGoSurvey email list you stored in Contact Manager
- An email address requested in the survey
Wrap up your survey design as much as possible before you set up these alerts. You can still edit the survey before launching, if needed, but it helps to have everything in order first.
Follow the steps listed below, to set up Rules and Alerts:
- Under the Design tab, select the survey, and click on Rules & Alerts.
- Click on New. From this same page, you can edit, view, delete, enable, or disable an already created Rules & Alerts condition.
- Completed survey response received: The alert is triggered when a participant completes his/her response by clicking on the Submit button at the end of the survey.
- Survey response meets the condition: The alert is triggered when a specific criteria is met in a submitted survey.
- Response threshold is met: The alert is triggered when a certain number of responses has been received.Provide a title, then make your selection from the Triggering Event dropdown. Then, click Continue.
- Define the workflow action, which identifies who should receive alerts. Then, click Continue.
- Survey participant: If a survey is sent via single-use links, an email can be sent directly to the participant when they submit their response.
- To email address(es) listed below: Enter any email address(es) that should receive alerts.
- Everyone on an Email List: Alerts can be sent to a saved email list from Contact Manager.
- Response to an email question in this survey: If a survey includes a question for participants' email addresses, alerts can be sent to those entered emails. (If no email questions are included in the survey, this option will not be available.)
- Define the email content, including the following:
- Be sure to customize Sender Name, Sender Email, and Subject.
- Customize the alert email content.
- Pipe survey content into the email to add helpful information.
- While editing in the email text box, select the piping icon on the right end of the edit menu.
- Click in your alert message where you would like to insert the answer text.
- Select the question you would like to pipe from, in the pop-up that opens up.
- To attach a report to the email, toggle the switch to select Yes, next to 'Attach a Report to this email'. Then, select from the following:
- Attach a copy of this survey response: This option will provide a link to an individual report. Paste this link into the email content.
- Attach a Saved Report of this survey: This option will show a selection from the Saved Reports section if any reports have been saved.
- Click on Continue.
- Define the workflow schedule. This steps helps to set the plan in motion by identifying when alerts should be sent.
- Instantly upon receiving response: Alert sent immediately when condition is met.
- After a fixed delay from receiving response: Alert sent after designated delay following condition being met.
- On a stated Date and Time: Alert sent on the specified date and time.
- As per the stated time below: Alert sent on the daily, weekly, or monthly frequency specified in the rule.

OKAY, all you haters out there. Taylor Swift starts her Aussie tour tonight in Sydney. And here are seven reasons we love her.
She really can, like, sing
Just a quick looks at the stats, people. Seven Grammys. Three consecutive albums at the top of the Billboard charts. Seventy five millions digital downloads. Packed arenas. A gazillion views on Youtube. And none of that takes into account the endless times Fifteen or You Belong With Me will wail through your head on JUST. ONE. LISTEN.
Heaps of stars are happy to take to the stage with her - just ask J-Lo or Ed Sheeran or Ellie Goulding, or Def Leppard (seriously). Or the Victoria's Secret Angels (except Jessica Hart, obv).
Oh, or Prince William.
She really can, like, dress
The long, flowy frocks. The cute shorts. The flirty sun dresses. The wholesome country girl sepia-shoot thing. The hippy with guitar thing. She just never gets in wrong. (Except maybe the pork pie hat. Still not 100 per cent on that).
Vogue, Maria Claire and best-dressed-on-the-red-carpet lists ad nauseam are backing me up here.
She really, like, sticks it to her exes
How would you feel if you were the subject of a song. That went triple platinum. That included the lyrics:
"And you would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine."
I mean, it does make Jake Gyllenhaal sound like a complete wanker, doesn't it? I'd never, ever get back together with him either.*
She sticks it to people who aren't her exes**
Teensy weensy tatt board Justin Bieber got on Swifty's bad side when he mooched up to his ex, Taylor's friend Selena Gomez, at the Billboard Music Awards this year. Taylor could have held back. She could have said nothing.
But she didn't. Instead, she stuck out her tongue for the world to see at the erkiness of it. Beebs hit back with the song All Bad. But no one took much notice.
She's the only person who's ever been out with someone who was part werewolf AND shared her first name
Twilight's Taylor Lautner. Three months. But it still qualifies.
She has a sense of humour
The world and his mate will never forget the moment, in 2009, when Kanye West told the world Beyonce, not Taylor, should have won the MTV VMA for Best Female Video.
So when Ed Sheeran was nominated for a VMA, she sent him a jar of jam with the label:
"Yo Ed - I'm really happy 4 you and I'm gonna let you finish, but this is the best JAM OF ALL TIME. - T"
And she's been voted the person most likely to write a song about her ex, so her You're So Vain duet with Carly Simon was a masterstroke. Join in now … "I bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you …"
And she's even done a shout-out to all those dads who'll be yawning in the crowd when she performs in Sydney tonight.
She dated a Kennedy
Everyone, including Taylor, has dated John Mayer. But seriously, how many have made the trip to Hyannis Port?
She wears her heart on her sleeve
When she's surprised, she looks surprised. When's she delighted, she looks delighted.
So should we really be amazed that, given she's still a bit cut up about the breakup with One D's Harry Styles, she's not averse to letting everyone know.
At the 2013 VMAs (global audience: more than 10 million) One D took to the stage. Taylor's response? "Shut the f$%k up." Well, heartbreak does burn deep.
And later the same night, cradling one of the awards, she had another go: "I also want to thank the person who inspired this song (I Knew You Were Trouble) and he knows exactly who he is, because I got me one of these."
Go Swifty!
Music writer Kathy McCabe will be at Taylor Swift's concert tonight. Come back to read her (probably a bit more balanced) review.
*As far as we know
**Okay, I accept he'd probably never ask me out in the first place. But you know what I mean.

Congrats dude! Nice gun!
Hello. Yesterday, a good friend and myself made the 3 1/2 hour pilgrimage to Georgetown, TX, home of STI. We looked at a couple of their new Legacy .45 ACP pistols. We each brought ammunition of different types to shoot in them before buying. (Due to insurance company edicts, we were not allowed to shoot but did watch as Chris cranked off rounds through each of the guns.) 4 full magazines of different rounds were fired through "my" Legacy.
They were:
230-gr. Hornady JFP handload
200-gr. Precision CSWC handload
230-gr. Speer Gold Dot handload
Winchester 230-gr. Ranger
Magazines were a 7-shot Colt, an 8-shot McCormick Power Mag, an 8-shot Wilson w/Tripp's CobraMag follower/spring, which makes it a 7-shot, and an ACT 8-shot, also using the Tripp CobraMag internals.
The gun came with an 8-shot ACT magazine and it was loaded with
Winchester 230-gr. JHP.
When chambering a round, the first Gold Dot didn't want to smoothly chamber, but everything else shot fine. (These are some old bullets and the profile might have changed in more recent times.)
From what I could tell by watching Chris shoot, the sights were pretty well regulated out of the box and certainly within the adjustable rear sight's adjustment range.
These guns have a 1-piece feed ramp and they fed fine.
The ambidextrous safeties were nicely fitted and in my opinion, perfect in moving from "on" to "off" and visa-versa.
The trigger breaks very cleanly at what I'd estimate as 4 to 4.5-lbs or so.
I have been so busy and it's been so hot that I have not gone to the range today to shoot this pistol myself. I can tell you that the full length guide rod will be replaced ASAP. I much prefer the traditional GI spring plug and spring guide. I will be changing the grips as well, but may very well leave the rest of the gun as is.
The one-piece feed ramp is nicely polished and despite my initial misgivings about it, worked fine. Many gunsmiths say that the traditional two-piece feedway is more reliable than the one-piece. I am not a gunsmith, but have many 1911's using the two-piece system that are reliable. So far, this one has as well. (I was told that STI will be going to the one-piece system in their Trojan line as well.)
The finish is black and STI calls it "PVD ion bond". It is reportedly very resistant to corrosion and wear. The slide flats are described as being polished, but this is not a high gloss polish as with some blued guns. The forged frame has 30 LPI checkering and is nicely done.
It was impressive enough that I bought the thing. I will shoot it and do a complete report in the future, assuming that things slow down a bit and it gets even a little cooler. 108 degrees is just a bit much right now. (Twenty-five years ago, I'd have already been on the range, but right now I'm sitting in the air-conditioned house, hiding from the heat.)
Congrats dude! Nice gun!
Beautiful high-quality gun and really beautiful stocks on it. You lucky dog...........I'm jealous.
Hello and thank you very much. Don't be "jealous" yet; I think that the gun will perform, but won't know for sure until I try it out. I will post what I observe, be it good, bad, or otherwise.
Hello. On another board, a gentleman suggested a comparison article concerning the STI Legacy vs. the STI Trojan in .45 ACP. If interested, it is here:
Today I was able to put another 400 rounds of various types of ammunition through the Legacy.
Zero malfunctions
Slide locked back on last shot and not before with several different magazines
Trigger pull has not changed
Adjustable rear sight has not moved from zeroed position
No wear on the chamber area of barrel from movement of slide
I am to the point that I pretty much trust this pistol for "serious purposes" were such required.
How much is that gun?
Hello. Suggested retail is about $1900, but they can be had for less. I got mine for a couple of hundred or so under that.
I was hoping U were gonna say $1500. Oh well...
Looks very nice! I have heard nothing but good things about them!
~ simply put....this is a beautiful pistol. Just a fine quaility piece.
Congrats to you my friend...

How I Landed a $38,000 Apartment in Brooklyn Heights
Finding an affordable home in New York City can sometimes seem impossible. With apartments in neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy now going for millions, the city seems increasingly inaccessible to middle class folks. We've been hearing Mayor de Blasio talk a lot about it since he ran for office on his Tale of Two Cities theme, including on Friday when he appointed an official to solve what he sees as an affordable housing crisis.
But I'm one of the lucky ones. Back in 2010, I landed on the wait list for an apartment in Cadman Towers, a Mitchell-Lama co-op in Brooklyn Heights that opened in 1971. About three years later, my name came up and I was able to buy a 600-square-foot one bedroom with a balcony for a little more than $38,000. It was probably the only way I – a single, 32-year-old, public radio employee – was ever going to achieve the American dream in New York City.
The Mitchell-Lama program was created in 1955 with the goal of providing housing options for middle income residents. In New York City, 174 rental and co-op buildings were created under the program. (You can find a list of open wait lists here.) After a certain number of years, building owners can leave the program and make their units market rate. So far, 96 have done just that. It's an outcome that's alarming to some housing advocates.
The state has not funded Mitchell-Lama for years, but on Friday, Bronx State Senator Jeffrey Klein and fellow members of the Independent Democratic Conference, said they would push to set aside $750 million to revive the housing program in the state's budget.
Some critics say New York City already has way too much affordable housing and that the city's sky-high housing prices are a result, in part, of properties protected from the free market. In short, they say New Yorkers who have rent control or Mitchell-Lama apartments never give them up, at least not until they die. And that's exactly how my home became available to me.

"All is everything."
On a recent train ride back from a reading at Sarah Lawrence College, I found a business card wedged in the seat next to me for a Citi Bank Customer Relations Representative named Carrie. On the back someone had written,
"I hope that baby poisons your meaning in life George. I'd rather be a letter unread than unwritten. Hurt is all. All is everything. "
Whoever had written it had gone over the last sentence several times with their pen. All. Is. Everything.
I have a good friend who works for Citi Bank in Manhattan so I emailed her to see if you she might personally know a Carrie Johnson (I'm not using her real last name here of course). My friend wrote back and said she didn't know anyone by that name but could look Carrie up through their system if I wanted. Did I want? And, what did I want? No, I said.
A few days later, after dreaming that Carrie was a waitress serving me a cereal bowl full of diamond ringed brass knuckles while dining with my ex-boyfriend, after dreaming that Carrie was a scary man chasing me through the Chelsea Market, a scary man who looked like Michael Peterson from "The Staircase Murderer" documentary series, but who I kept calling "Bad Carrie" as I ran through the aisles of oyster shuckers and Frisee, I decided to call up the branch where she worked. I had no idea what I was going to say to her or why I was even calling. The person I spoke with told me that Carrie Johnson no longer works for Citi Bank. "Wow. That had to be recent, right?" Ii said. The woman said yes.
On my desk is a black and white photo of Katharine Hepburn and a wooden decoupaged doohickey depicting a cat in an ostentatious hat typing on a type writer. It belonged to my Grandmother in the 40's and I'm told it was her writing good luck charm. I put the business card with them. I've been staring at it. I've been running wild. What are the odds Carrie had written that on the back of her own card? Who was George? Why did Carrie quit? Did she quit? Did she quit because of George? Did she pull the last pen out from her collection of highlighers one day and look at it like a straw? Sitting there in her cubicle, at her desk, fantasizing murderously about the paramour's arms who held her George's arms all night? What kind of sick joke is Love? I don't give a shit if some Neruda has asked this before. I'm asking it now.
Every night, I've been writing poems to Carrie. My own strange version of Kiki Petrosino's "Fort Red Border". Below is tonight's poem. It's copied from my notebook and not meant to be anything spiffy, just an attempt to share and keeping writing.
If any of you readers feel like writing poems to Carrie, feel free to share and send them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. (Don't judge my Rebelasylum website moniker: it's from back when I listened to too much Ani Difranco and thought I would become a famous breakdancer one day. I still may.)
My hope is to post some of your poems here in the next couple of weeks and maybe an update or two about Carrie, somehow, if that happens.
…. During the edit of this post, not 15 minutes ago, I got this from my girl at Citi Bank: "…I looked anyway. In her file it says she's also a writer, for whatever that's worth."
Poem for Carrie
The story's all over you.
In your toe cracks, your bad back,
too many nights have broken over your body
like black yokes. All over you,
the story marinates every minute, stops brushing your hair,
feeding you, taking out your trash,
grows from your eyes and ears in branches of dread,
rigor mortis vines into the teal seats of Bronxville.
Across my lap, a sun pattern, a curse in the shape of a kiss
that never found your forehead. Alongside my lap,
a lone flashcard of intentions, a tongue from the origami monster.
I hold your story in my hands, a baby poem
fallen out of the nest,

Threats to his position are coming from outside and within, but New South Wales Waratahs halfback Brendan McKibbin has made clear he won't be relinquishing his spot easily.
McKibbin, who is contracted to NSW for next year, learned recently that coach Michael Cheika had recruited incumbent Wallabies halfback Nick Phipps from Melbourne for 2014-15.
Add to that, he has stiff competition this season from NSW back-up Matt Lucas - who made an impressive cameo off the bench last Sunday week - while the talented Grayson Hart is the third halfback in the Tahs squad.
McKibbin could have felt as though the walls were closing in but instead he produced his finest game of the season on Sunday against Western Force, and has brushed off Phipps's impending arrival.
"I set myself individual goals, and one of those individual goals isn't to play the best I can because Nick Phipps from the Melbourne Rebels is coming to the Waratahs next year," McKibbin said.
Watch the Waratahs' clash with the Hurricanes from 5.30pm (EDT) Saturday Live on Fox Sports 2HD!
"I can only worry about my role, and pushing (Lucas and Hart) along with them pushing myself.
"Worrying about Nick Phipps coming next year, if I worry about that, then my head is not in the right space. He is playing for the Rebels, who aren't doing too well, and I'm worrying about the Waratahs this year."
Asked if he felt ownership of the NSW No.9 jersey, McKibbin replied: "When I'm on the field, definitely. I've said to myself that I want to keep pushing, I'm not going to be happy with myself if I'm not in that No.9 jersey, as are the others."
The 27-year-old, who played all 80 minutes against the Force despite Lucas's impressive claims the week prior, did not want to get carried away with his fine outing. "If I ever get happy with a game I'm going to hang up the boots, that's for sure," McKibbin said.
The Waratahs claimed back-to-back wins for the first time since last April by defeating Force 23-19, and will be buoyed by the return of powerhouse backrower Wycliff Palu when they travel to Wellington to face the Hurricanes on Saturday.
"Physically it's a big bonus, and mentally a great bonus for the side as well," he said.
"The Hurricanes have threats across the park so if we start to pile too many guys into the breakdown, we're going to get caught out there. We've been reasonably good at it where we identified when the breakdown was a lost cause and our blokes got into the line."

Built-up Commercial Roofing
What is Built-up Roofing?
Built-up roofing, or BUR, has been used in the commercial roofing industry since the mid-1800s. It's a tried-and-true type of roofing that was the commercial roofing system of choice up until the 1970s when newer single-ply roofs hit the market, such as EPDM and TPO roofing.
Built-up roofs have alternating layers of bitumen, such as asphalt, and reinforcing fabrics referred to as "felts". BUR roofs can be composed of two, three, four or more layers – the greater the number of layers, the more durable the roofing becomes.
Today's BUR bitumen and felt roofing material options are more advanced than ever before. Modern bitumen materials contain added polymers designed to reduce fumes/odors, increase durability and improve its waterproofing properties.
The installation process consists of mopping hot bitumen material onto the surface of the roof and felt is then applied on top of that. There are also cold-applied adhesive bitumen material available, which eliminates the need for steaming hot bitumen. This is a safer option that retains the same waterproofing and durability of traditional hot bitumen.
Traditional felts are made from organic materials, but modern felts are composed of stronger materials, such as fiberglass. The felt comes in 36-inch wide rolls.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Built-up Commercial Roofing
- Proven roofing technique – Used for 100+ years in the U.S.
- Resistant to UV rays, wind, hail and rain
- Affordable roofing over the long-term
- 50+ year serviceable life is possible with proper installation and maintenance
- White surface cap sheet available to help reduce AC energy needs during the summer; white sprays and white gravel are other "cool roof" options
- Steeper initial cost compared to most single-ply roofing systems
- Although designed to last for decades, a poorly installed BUR system may only last 10 years or less
- Heavy roofing, especially ballasted built-up roofing
Are BURs Eco-Friendly?
Built-up commercial roofing systems aren't traditionally known as eco-friendly; however, recent advances in BUR materials and design are helping to point this type of low-slope roofing toward the "greener" end of the spectrum.
Many commercial buildings, particularly in the southern and western United States are choosing to install a white cap sheet or lay white gravel on top of the BUR to help control cooling costs in the building. White roofing helps reflect as much as 80% of the light and UV rays from the sun.
Additionally, modern built-up roofs can outlast most single-ply roofing systems if installed correctly. A roof that lasts 30, 40, 50 or more years is definitely an eco-friendly choice over opting for a roof that has to be replaced every 15 to 20 years.
Cost of Built-up Commercial Roofing
The chart below depicts the average cost of installing a built-up roof on a 2,000 square foot rooftop in four major cities across the country. The exact price of your particular installation can vary depending upon the materials used and complexity of the project.
BUR Pricing in the U.S.:
Material/Installation Cost for 2,000 sq ft Roof
$7,100 - $9,700
$6,000 - $8,000
New York
$8,300 - $11,300
Los Angeles
$6,900 - $9,400
(These prices reflect the average price for materials and installation of a built-up commercial roof. Various factors can affect the overall cost, including materials, geographic location, roof complexity and number of BUR layers).
Built-up Commercial Roof Repairs and Maintenance
An annual maintenance plan is the key to maximizing the usable service life of a built-up roofing system. BURs are nearly maintenance-free, but it's recommended to keep the roof clear of tree limbs, leaves and other foreign debris. It's equally important to ensure there are no areas of the roof prone to collecting rainwater. Remove ponding water from the roof within 24 hours of noticing it, and call your roofing contractor to have the issue assessed.
A roofer experienced with commercial BUR systems can easily inspect and repair minor roof damage. Built-up roofing can withstand heavy winds, rain and hailstorms due to its multi-ply design where if the top layer is damaged there are always "back-up" layers underneath to help prevent leaks.
How to Find a Qualified BUR Roofing Contractor
The commercial roofing contractors at HometownRoofingContractors.com are prescreened to ensure they are experienced installers of built-up commercial roofs. That way you know you're dealing with a commercial roofing contractor that has the tools and knowledge to get the BUR system installed correctly the first time.
The most common cause of roof damage and failure is a poor installation. It's critically important to work with a roofing company experienced in commercial roofing and built-up roofs in particular. It can literally increase the usable service life of the roof by decades.

Can Dermal Fillers Affect Blood Count? Can They Affect Blood Tests and Other Medical Exams?
Doctor Answers 5
Juvederm and blood work
Juvederm and the other hyaluronic acid tissue fillers are very safe products and should have no effect on blood work. In the unlikely event that you do get some type of allergic response or infection after treatment you may have a slight elevation in your white blood cells but it's nothing long lasting. If your blood work was normal before Juvederm, it should be normal after....any changes would be a coincidence.
Good luck~

Dermal Fillers affect Blood Count
Unless there is some complication such as infection following the placement of dermal fillers, these medications will not affect your blood count.
Side effects from Juvederm injections
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane have no organ or species specificity. In theory there is no risk of an allergic reaction. There should be no risk of a systemic reaction that could influence your blood test results. Even skin testing is not necessary before injecting hyaluronic acid. In fact, in spite of its frequent use for cosmetic purposes, there are very few reports of hypersensitivity reactions.

Dermal fillers and blood count
Dermal fillers are generally very safe when injected by a good physician injector and won't affect your blood count, or your ability to donate blood either.

Take two wheels across Thailand's south, a place of ancient jungle, imposing mountains, seductive coasts and incredible marine life.
The road is laid out before you on this cycling adventure through Southern Thailand. Beginning in Bangkok with an overnight train, the route sweeps south to the deeply green prehistoric scenery that lies across the map – stunning ancient forests and limestone peaks that were formed hundreds of millions of years ago. Pass emerald waters where tiny islands of exquisite pale rock break the surface, cruising along palm-fringed routes lined with friendly locals. Pedal along undulating roads to unforgettable Khao Sok National Park, walk along dirt trails in search of wildlife, and freewheel down the Andaman Coast to relax on its powdered coastline. Ride inland to Phang Nga Bay and finish up in the classic beachside town of Ao Nang. This active nine-day journey gives a unique look at this fascinating part of the country.

Why we love this trip
Escape the chaotic Bangkok traffic with a cycling tour that gets you behind the tourist mask and into the heart and soul of Thailand's south
Ride through a sea of greenery as a constant companion, then wind down on the famous sandy shores and azure waters of Thailand's west coast
There's no need for artificial sports drinks here – rehydrate with fresh coconut and fruit juices straight from the plant
Dive into the nature lover's paradise of ancient Khao Sok National Park, then fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle in a riverside bungalow
Witness the towering, pale limestone islands that break the surface of Phang Nga bay with an included boat cruise across these incredible waters
Is this trip right for you?
While the cycling distances are relatively short and the terrain relatively flat, the climate is usually warm, so you'll need to be reasonably fit. Keep in mind the support vehicle will always be on hand if you need a break.
The riding is mostly done on sealed roads, with the occasional gravel cycle path, so there are no special technical skills required. However, some downhill practice is a great idea prior to your trip.
Please note that both cycling and driving distances may vary due to local circumstances out of our control.
There's the possibility of a few hiccups along the way – a puncture here and there maybe – but there's no doubt this is an incredibly rewarding adventure.
The weather in this region varies seasonally. Be prepared to get sweaty, and for the occasional rainstorm which may require a change of plans.

The Cycle Southern Thailand trip was amazing. Great mix between activities and free time. The day trips were great with incredible scenery. The tour leader was fantastic. The cycling distances were good and not too challenging. Was a great way to see Thailand.

This was a fantastic trip. I am a beginner cyclist and this was my first long-distance cycle tour. Our guide was organized and cheerful, the accomodation was much more luxurious than I expected, we saw some tremendous landscapes, and it wasn't long after I got back that I already started daydreaming about my next cycle tour!

MOSCOW, Nov. 16 -- A lament for the morals of grandmother's day was published this week by Izvestia, the Government newspaper. It caused yebrows to be raised in a country that consistently proclaims that it has created a new man, superior in all respect to the old.

Yes, I agree that Subaru CATs are very restrictive, but the original post is not talking about the stock tbe. I'm refering to a downpipe with a high-flow CAT vs. a catless downpipe. The difference between high-flow cat and catless in hp gains/loss is very insignificant.Originally Posted by Silentdawn
Please read the thread carefully.AP = AccessPORT. It's a type of engine management.Originally Posted by project_skyline
downpipe + catback = turboback exhaust (refer to the diagram below).
You have an option of running a turboback exhaust with or without high-flow CAT. It does not neccessarily mean catless.

tech The 8 Most Successful Open Source Products Ever f p @

Open source in itself is a success story. From being a niche concept, it has become a mainstream movement (well, more or less) and has received the attention of both individuals and businesses worldwide.
There are thousands of open source projects and products out there, but which ones are the most successful? By successful we mean widely used and widely known. While there are many successful open source products, a few stand head and shoulders above the rest. We have listed them here below.

Why it is a success: Mozilla's crowning achievement so far, the Firefox web browser has become a mega success. Firefox 1.0 was launched in 2004 and the browser has since then taken away a huge chunk of the browser market from the previously dominant Internet Explorer, and is arguably the reason that Microsoft started to put more effort into updating IE with new versions. Although Firefox is still number two overall, it has become the dominant browser among the more "techie" crowd (this blog, for example, gets 59% of its visits from Firefox and just 18% from IE). see more on Firefox
+ - 9 0
Why it is a success: Launched in 2004, Ubuntu is by far the most popular Linux distribution today, especially on the desktop side. Considering the massive success of Ubuntu in recent years, we thought it was worth its own mention here even though we already mentioned Linux. see more on Ubuntu
+ - 9 1
Why it is a success: MySQL is the most widely used database server in the world, used by a huge amount of websites and services (examples include Wikipedia, Facebook and, more modestly, our very own Pingdom.com…). It's the M in the hugely popular LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). see more on MySQL
+ - 10 2
Why it is a success: Since its launch in 2004 as a fork of the b2 blog software, WordPress has become a dominant and hugely popular blog platform. In a survey we made back in January, 27% of the top 100 blogs ran on WordPress. If you also counted WordPress.com, Automattic's hosted WordPress service, that number rose to 32%, more than any other blog software. Since then there have also been some changes, such as the nine Wired blogs in the top 100 switching from Typepad to WordPress.com, so that percentage is likely significantly higher now (all else unchanged, it would be 41%). see more on WordPress
+ - 7 3
Why it is a success: FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD have been well-respected server OS alternatives for a long time. Derived from Berkeley Unix in the 1990s, we chose to put them into one group here. As an interesting aside, the core for Apple's Mac OS X is derived from FreeBSD.
+ - 6 2
Why it is a success: The Apache HTTP Server has been the most popular web server software in the world since 1996, which is also the year it got started. Apache still has a strong lead, outclassing second runner up IIS in terms of number of deployed websites (according to Netcraft, Apache is currently used by 46% of all websites, while IIS is used by 29%). In 2009 it passed a huge milestone, becoming the first web server to be used by more than 100 million websites.
+ - 5 3
Why it is a success: BIND (The Berkeley Internet Name Domain Server) is the most widely used DNS server software on the Internet. The first version of BIND goes all the way back to the early 1980s and has been the main DNS server on UNIX systems ever since. It can justly be called the world's de facto standard DNS server. see more on BIND
+ - 3 2
Why it is a success: Linux, hand in hand with GNU software as GNU/Linux, has come a long way since Linus Torvalds announced that he was creating an OS kernel based on Minix back in 1991. These days, a majority of web servers run Linux, and with Ubuntu (see below) it is also (finally) starting to make inroads into the desktop market, and maybe it will soon also be strong player in the mobile market with Android (which uses the Linux kernel).

Over the past few weeks I've reviewed a couple of good sub-£100 budget compacts, namely the Nikon CoolPix L11 and the Pentax Optio E40. I hope this isn't becoming a habit, because I've got another one today, in the shape of the new Samsung S85.
I have been mostly impressed by Samsung's digital cameras over the past couple of years. Some of them, such as the NV10 have been very good indeed, with sleek styling, innovative controls and superb Schneider-Kreuznach lenses. Others, such as the L700 have been somewhat mediocre, but few of them have been genuinely bad. Thankfully the company has recently trimmed its range to just 19 models, from a high a few months ago of no less than 36 different cameras, and naturally it is the less successful models that have been dumped. Hopefully this means that future models will continue to exhibit a higher standard, and if the S85 is any indicator then this may well be the case.
The S85 is an 8.2-megapixel compact camera with a 5x zoom lens (although lacking the Schneider-Kreuznach label of the higher-spec models), a 2.5-inch monitor screen and some advanced features including face detection AF/AE, manual exposure options and ISO 1600 maximum sensitivity. That may sound like a fairly average specification, but it also has a retail price of just £99, so you're actually getting quite a lot of camera for your money. There aren't very many models on the market that offer as many features for that kind of price, in fact the only one that springs to mind is the Fujifilm FinePix A820, which also has an 8-megapixel sensor, but only has a 4x zoom lens.

Camera picture quality is great, but mine stopped working after 2 months and custommer support is terrible. They are trying to charge 㿏 for repaire and handling, the camera only cost $105 thats 㿣. If the camera had been damaged fair enough but it just stopped working. Better off spending more money on a better built camera.
Suggestion for Bev: It's pretty obvious that your camera had an inherent fault right from the start. So you're covered by the Sale Of Goods Act (an item must be suitable for the application). Don't talk to Samsung (unless you bought it direct). Speak to the people you bought it from - that's who your contract's with. You're entitled to a replacement or, if you prefer, your money back. If they mess you around, get in touch with the Trading Standards people: www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/. DON'T complicate things by dealing with the manufacturer. It's the retailer who's in the firing line.
Mine also broke after 3 months. It completely locked up and was sent back to Samsung via Comet. 6 weeks later and I have finally managed to get a refund from Comet as Samsung are claiming its accidental damage and want 㿌. Whats even more annoying is that I can't find a comparable camera for what this cost (㿷)
i bought a samsung 6mp camera 2 years ago, it takes great pictures and i have had no problems with it.
despite owning a sony a200 and a nikon d40, i still use the samsung very often.
This has been a good little camera for me. I bought one second hand when the battery door broke on my Canon Powershot, making it unusable, and I didn't have time to get it repaired. I have a couple of niggles, however:
1. When I first bought this camera, the battery life was appalling. I tried it on normal Lithiums and on the Ni-mHs I had used in my Canon, and on both types the batteries lasted barely a day on even very light usage. In the end, I bought the Samsung batteries and charger recommended in the manual. These are much better: howver, I would still class this camera as battery-hungry. The Samsung rechargeables will last me a few weeks on light usage, but the Canon was much more efficient.
2. This camera takes great outdoor shots and inside is usually ok. However, I sometimes use it with the youth group I run. We meet in a big hall with overhead fluorescent lights. The pictures it takes in the hall from a distance more than a few feet are just awful: blurry, saturated with yellow and grainy. Even in Photoshop it's hard to get them to a decent quality.
However, overall I'm very satisfied with this camera. Ease of use and outdoor im age quality are its strong points. After using this, I got my grandparents a Samsung too, and while they're techno-phobic generally, they have no problems using it, it's so simple.
Oldie but goodie
Mine just broke after I dropped it accidentally while the lens was extended. Anyway, it has served me well for several years.
I also had a problem with the batteries. It could only last a few shots before shutting down when I used alkalines and NiMH.
Finally managed to get it to work properly when I started using Low Self Discharge NiMH such as Sharp Eneloops and PowerEx Imedions.
Photo quality is quite decent, although low light performance was a bit poor.
Camera is quite easy to use, and I have taken thousands of shots with it. It probably would have kept on working another few years if it had not been dropped.

Spraying will start Friday for West Nile Virus in Placer County after three mosquitoes were found with the disease.
Birds and mosquitoes with West Nile Virus have been showing up earlier than normal all over the state.
Joel Buettner with Placer County Mosquito and Vector Control says three mosquitoes turned up in traps near Roseville and Loomis. Pesticide for adult mosquitoes will be applied by truck in those areas.
BUETTNER: "Our hope is to limit the spread of the infected mosquitoes to smaller areas so we don't have to treat larger areas down the road."
Buettner says West Nile was once thought to affect mainly the very old, but health officers are seeing people of all ages affected by the virus. West Nile may not show any symptoms or may cause death in a person infected.
