Pod::Text converts documentation in the POD format (such as can be found throughout the Perl distribution) into formatted ASCII text. Termcap is optionally supported for boldface/underline, and can be enabled with:
If termcap is not enabled, backspaces are used to simulate bold and underlined text.
The pod2text()
subroutine can take one or two arguments. The first
is the name of a file to read the POD from, or "<&STDIN"
to read
from STDIN
. The second argument, if provided, is a filehandle glob
where output should be sent. (Use *STDOUT
to write to STDOUT
A separate pod2text program is included as part of the standard Perl distribution. Primarily, a wrapper for Pod::Text, it can be invoked this way:
pod2text < input.pod

What's a G5 really worth these days?
I raise this question out of general interest rather than a serious desire to buy one. Saw one at a thrift store today and figured they were out of their minds what they were asking for it. This is probably one of those "what's one worth to you" situations rather than a consistent market rate. I figure there is substantial risk in buying one of these machines due to the frequency of known motherboard failures and the problems with leaking water coolers. I think I'd be hard-pressed to justify getting one unless it was virtually free.
The machine I saw at the thrift store today was clean and whole except for no hard drive. It was PCI with AGP video and dual CPU. I couldn't find sufficient markings on it to tell the speed. No accessories were included.

Re: What's a G5 really worth these days?
A Powermac G5? To me? It would have to be less than $50 for me to even look at it. Maybe even $25. But then again, I already have four of them.

Re: What's a G5 really worth these days?
The G5 is at that crappy point where its too old to be modern, but at the same time not yet old enough to be interesting. I think I paid AU$50ish for mine around 3 years ago, which I think is fair.

Re: What's a G5 really worth these days?
This doesn't apply to the Quad, of course, which has some residual cred as the most powerful of the Power Macs -- those still sell for a few hundred or so easily. But a 1.6 or 1.8 is probably not worth a great deal, nor any of the liquid cooled systems other than the Quad. That said, I'd still expect a 2.3 to get a price premium for its higher reliability and maintainability (read: air cooled) marks, maybe $100.

Re: What's a G5 really worth these days?
Welll, I can only speak from an Australian market standpoint. I paid 150AU for my PCIe dual-2Ghz probably late 2014? with a Compaq TFT thrown in, to replace my dual-2GHz PCI-X one after it developed the normal solder issues. I was happy with that price for a fully functional privately owned PCIe machine (which are free from the majority of the issues G5's came to be known for), however I have seen them cheaper, sans hard drives or peripherals. On the other hand, I would be very hesitant to spend more than 100 bucks on an ex-lab machine or less for any in poor physical condition, despite the fact the asking prices are still quite high here in Australia for G5 towers.
I was recently given a PCI single for free non functioning and thats about what Id happily pay for anything PCI or PCI-X in the G5 range, as they are simply too big a risk to spend serious money on with their appallingly high failure rate and low chance of revival. The most i would pay for any functioning machine prior to the PCIe version is about 50 bucks.
Quads are kind of in a league of their own. I'd still pay reasonably for a late one in good working and physical condition and with evidence of being well maintained.

Re: What's a G5 really worth these days?
I recently dipped my toe in the G5 pool, I went into it with low cost as a priority (no more than $75 US... shipped!) - with the understanding that I may have to add some components or do some maintenance to put a machine in good order. I wanted a project that could turn into a something more. This turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
Still in all, I ended up finding two units, both for less than $50 US. One of those is a Quad G5, sold on eBay by someone who didn't know what he had, listed poorly and out of place. Both sellers were forthright and said that the machines had issues, but at the prices I paid I think I can still make my money back if I had to part these out for fans, cases, etc.
We'll see...

I did not go back to my classroom today to finish. I had a miserable time sleeping last night. I've not had the best year, professionally and sometimes I get really down. So decided I needed to take a break and make a fresh start on my room on Monday. Otherwise I will just wonder around, picking things up and putting them down somewhere else. I need to buckle down and get that room packed...Also I was in quite a bit of pain from my knees...
So I got up today and went LYS hunting...Found out last night that String Greenwich is closing. I've been to the NYC store, but never the one in CT. So decided to check it out and traced a route to check out two more on the way home....It was a long drive down...and Interstate 95 SUCKS!!!! But I got to see the ocean and stood on a jetty breathing in the ocean air...Greenwich is beautiful, so I enjoyed looking at the houses.
String was small, but Jill (I believe) was very polite and helpful and I bought a couple of skeins of Prism and 3 of Artyarns...and some cool buttons...
Then I headed North to Ridgefield to Nancy O - what a great store!!! Highly recommend it! It's kinda bohemian with a mixture of merchandise. There was yarn, got some Manos Serena and a very cool bracelet! Will post pics of shop and bracelet in separate blog post....
Then I headed north again to Danbury and The Fabric Tree It was an interesting store. I'm still on the lookout for that birdy fabric, but didn't find it there. I did leave with 2 balls of Zauberball, one regular and one "Crazy"
Waterbury was a nightmare trying to get through, but was able to get off and by pass most of it.
Came home and read The Forgotten Garden which I picked up in Ridgefield at a cute bookstore. What a great book! I'm on chapter 13....Time for summer reading and I know I have a pile beside my bed, but didn't have any with me when I wanted to eat..
All in all an enjoyable day and I didn't think about school and lost alot of my negative energy from the year....

Plastic bags can cause big problems when placed in your kerbside recycling bin, most* councils around the country do not accpet them.
Most supermarkets accept plastic shopping bags for recycling, look for the plastic bag recycling collection bin at the front of the store. Torn or damaged reusable 'green bags' that can no longer be reused can also be placed in these collection bins.
Many other types of Soft Plastics (inclucing plastic bags), can now be recycled at selected supermarkets through a scheme run by the REDcycle program. These soft plastics include pasta and rice bags, lolly and biscuit packets, fresh fruit and vegie bags, frozen food bags, magazine and newspaper wrapping, and clean plastic wrap/film. Find your nearest soft plastic recycling location here.
If you don't have a soft plastics recycling option nearby, you can post your plastic packaging to:

About plastic checkout bags
- 20 million Australians still use over 3.9 billion plastic checkout bags a year. That's 10 million a day!
- A person's use of a plastic checkout bag can be counted in minutes - however long it takes to get from the shops to their homes. However, plastic bags can take between 15 and 1,000 years to break down in the environment.
- Many marine and terrestrial animals are killed by plastic bags that escape from landfill. The best solution to this problem is to use reusable bags that prevent you using plastic bags in the first place..
Recycling plastic checkout bags
- Plastic bags cannot be placed in most* council recycling bins.
- Over 200,000 plastic checkout bags are dumped in landfills every hour.
- Only 3% of Australia's plastic bags are currently being recycled, despite recycling facilities being available at major supermarkets and retail outlets listed above.
*There are a small number of councils that do accept plastic bags in their kerbside recycling.

Lagerfeld's Libraries: Horizontal + Vertical Book Stacks
While we were writing about Karl Lagerfeld's bathroom, we remembered an image of his library that we'd posted years ago. Lagerfeld seriously loves books and has found ways to house LOTS of them. We're interested in how he arranged them. The interplay of vertical and horizontally stacked books makes for a pleasing graphical look while allowing for economical use of the space (he packs in a lot of books).
It's an idea we're going to files as we design our bed/library.…

He said it's easier to read the titles that way .
( in some interview : )*
GREAT! Practical logic behind the design. Thank you!
In my experience, horizontally stacked books are significantly more difficult to remove and re-shelve.
I agree IF they're stacked high.Lagerfeld seems to favor low stacks which makes the books pretty easy to access.

Effects of Exercise on Abdominal Obesity and Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease

- How to Read a Study Record
The investigators will randomize abdominally obese men and women at increased health risk to one of the following 4 conditions: 1) No-exercise, wait list controls (C), 2) Low volume, low intensity exercise (LVLI), 3) High volume, low intensity exercise (HVLI), 4) Low volume, high intensity exercise (LVHI).
The primary aim of the trial is to determine the effects of varying exercise dose (energy expenditure, kcal) or intensity (relative to VO2max (cardiorespiratory fitness)) on waist circumference and glucose tolerance. The investigators will test the following hypotheses: 1) That the reduction in waist circumference and improvement in glucose tolerance in response to all treatments will be greater than controls. 2) That reduction in waist circumference and improvement in glucose tolerance in HVLI and LVHI will be greater than LVLI. 3) That hypotheses 1 and 2 are true independent of gender.

The selection of 60 years for the upper age range reflects concerns we have randomizing older adults to the high intensity exercise group wherein exercise at 75-80% of maximum may be difficult to achieve, and likely to be associated with increase orthopaedic injury and thus, poor compliance. We also considered lowering the lower age range from 40 to 35 years, but decided against doing so to increase the cost-effectiveness of recruitment (e.g., ensure a higher yield of those with metabolic syndrome).
- Abdominally obese (waist circumference greater than 88 and 102 cm for women and men respectively) and NCEP-ATPIII defined Metabolic Syndrome. Abdominal obesity for non-Caucasians will be determined using values suggested by the International Diabetes Federation.
- Sedentary lifestyle (planned physical activity for the purpose of health one day per week or less).
- Weight stable (± 2 kg) for 6 months prior to the beginning of the study.
- BMI less than 40 kg/m2 (Because a lifestyle-based intervention alone for obesity reduction is ideal for persons with a BMI less than 40 kg/m2).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Physical impairment which would make the intervention very difficult, or unsafe according to the patient's physician including history of myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary bypass surgery or angioplasty in the last 6 months; peripheral artery disease, unstable angina or ischemia.
- Diabetes.
- Current smokers.
- Alcohol consumption > 21 drinks per week.
- Plans to move from the area.
- Participating in another research study.
- Clinically judged to be unsuitable for participation or adherence as determined by the participants physician.
- Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent.
- For women, planned pregnancy in the next year.

We got to the trailhead at 8:30 am, made the summit at 2:30 pm, and got back to the car at 6:30 pm. There was a lot of snow under the trees and only small patches above treeline and on the ridge to the summit. The grey jays were friendly and the weather was nice. It was cloudy and the only spot where it became very cold was at the summit. Only saw one other person on the trip. | ||

There was hardly any snow of mention on this route at all. However the ice sheets were an obstacle. I found crampons to be very helpful, though I did see tracks going out of the way in order to go around these sections. Weather was great, but with the wind on top it was very cold above treeline. | ||

Very pleasant, warm day. There was no snow above treeline, and the trail was packed hard all the way. The only obstacle we encountered of any kind were some pretty big ice sheets covering the trail in a couple spots. Based on current conditions, I'd say any peak in the Pecos (maybe in the the N.M. Sangres) is climable right now. | ||

I've actually done this six times (once in the winter) - and I'd have to say it is one of the most spectacular hikes in the Western United States....unless big thunderheads are building around you while you're on the summit...but other than that, it's a great hike! | ||

Years ago. Began climb with a bad hangover earned from a sleepless night in Sant Fe while attending St. Johns. After the first hour sweated out the poison and things got better. A beautiful climb, tough, long (I think it was 14 or 17 miles roundtrip). My first summit of any stature. The next day we learned that yet another person had been hit--and this time killed--by lightning... Glad we don't have that problem in Washington... | ||

Two climbs now, just a glutton for punishment, as the final ascent to the summit of Badly is very steep. Great views of the Truchas to the north, and the city of Santa Fe and the surrounding area as well. Can't wait to try a night ascent to see the sun rise at 12,600 or so feet, recommend several layers of clothing and a clear, full moon night. | ||

HIGHLIGHTS-Top trading houses at commodities conference
LAUSANNE, March 29 Top executives from the world's largest commodity trading houses discuss trends in trading at the FT Commodities Global Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland, this week.
(Adds quotes from Gundlach, details on Dudley)
By Jennifer Ablan
NEW YORK, March 7 Jeffrey Gundlach, chief executive officer at DoubleLine Capital, said on Tuesday he expects the Federal Reserve to begin a campaign this month of "old school" sequential interest rate hikes until "something breaks," such as a U.S. recession.
Gundlach, who oversees more than $101 billion at Los Angeles-based DoubleLine, said U.S. economic data support a rate increase as soon as the next Fed policy meeting on March 14-15, and further rises this year, after a series of false starts in 2015 and 2016.
"Confidence in the Fed has really changed a lot," Gundlach said on an investor webcast. "The Fed has gotten a lot of respect with the bond market listening to the Fed" now that economic data support the tough rhetoric from Fed officials.
New York Fed President William Dudley, whose branch of the U.S. central bank serves as its eyes and ears on Wall Street and who generally spends a couple of hours a week planning policy with Fed Chair Janet Yellen, played a key role in orchestrating the messaging of a March rate hike.
Dudley gave markets an initial jolt when he said in a television interview last week that "animal spirits had been unleashed." Dudley also said the case for tightening monetary policy "has become a lot more compelling" since the election of President Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress.
Gundlach, known on Wall Street as the "Bond King," said on the webcast that inflationary pressures are increasing as well as business confidence, which will translate into a stock market that will "grind higher."
But Gundlach, who repeated his warning Tuesday that U.S. stocks are not cheap, said he holds Treasury inflation-protected securities and gold against this economic backdrop.
Gundlach added that a short position on German 10-year bunds was "a hell of a lot smarter than going long" the securities. As for financial stocks, Gundlach told Reuters in an interview that he sold his stake in bank and financial shares because "the easy money has been made."

my car seems too make a sort of droning noise when going along from the rear, but doesnt seem to do it when cold and it only does it after i have driven it for say a couple of miles, but could be me just thinking it it doesnt change pitch and just seems to be this drone, that although not that loud become s obvious if the radio is off or low so any ideas? could it be wheel bearing or poss rear diff? although i certainley cant see any signs of the diff leaking, i know the front diff has a very small drip when it gets very hot after long drives. would having dropped the suspension bit more than the standard sport stuff that was fitted mae a difference? i was going to sell it but now decided as its never let me down and ive had it for so long and i dont really need a new car lol im going to keep it, and i think id miss it. so really would like to sort out the little irritations. oh its done 130,000 and i know the bearings never been done since ive had it nor in the full audi service in the first owner.
Sounds like a bearing mate. Starts doing it when warm at first, will eventually be constant. Jack the rear up and shake wheel side to side, then top to bottom, any play will point to bearing. You can fill it with grease for a temp fix till you get one sorted, but dont leave it long.
i have had bearings that droned with noticeable movement when jacked up and no change in tone when steering i would check for noice when spinning by hand as well
Unfortunately theres almost never any play in roller bearings until they're so knackered they're about to disintegrate. I've had a few fail, including one on my brothers S4 that sounded like a 50cc moped was mounted in the boot and was being revved up as you drove along. None of them had any detectable play. What you will find, is if you spin the wheel you can hear the roughness. Unfortunately if its in the very early stages you'll struggle to hear it over the drag from the brakes. 130k is getting to be around the mileage they fail at, so it might be an idea just to bite the bullet and replace both rear bearings and be done with it. I'd suggest you check the level in both the diff and the gearbox. I've ruined the box in my saloon because that "slight drip" over a prolonged period resulted in a litre of oil going missing from the box, and it now whines and is extremely rough to engage gears even thouh i've filled it back up.
cheers guys im on holiday for few days so ill check it out then. i do top up the front diff every couple months if it needs it, is the rear diff easy to check? and does it use same oil. ive got the auto/trip gearbox and i dont think checking the oil in that is easy is it, and arent they filled for "life"? how hard is it to swap the rear bearings on a quattro, i know ill need use of a press to get them in/out.

// OBSERVE // RARE ARCHITECTURE // The Orthodox Synagogue [ Nożyk Synagogue : Synagoga Nożyków ] // Warsaw // The only Synagogue in the Polish Capital to survive the Second World War //
The Nożyk Synagogue (Polish: Synagoga Nożyków) is the only surviving prewar Jewish house of prayer in Warsaw, Poland. It was erected prior to 1902 and was restored after World War II. It is still operational and currently houses the Warsaw Jewish Commune, as well as other Jewish organizations.
Before World War II the Jewish community of Warsaw, one of the largest Jewish communities in the world at that time, had over 400 houses of prayer at its disposal. However, at the end of 19th century only two of them were separate structures, while the rest were smaller chapels attached to schools, hospitals or private homes. The earliest Round Synagogue in the borough of Praga served the local community since 1839, while the Great Synagogue (erected in 1878) was built for the reformed community.
Soon afterwards a need arose to build a temple also for the orthodox Jewry. Between 1898 and 1902 Zalman Nożyk, a renowned Warsaw merchant, and his wife Ryfka financed such temple at Twarda street, next to the neighbourhood of Grzybów and Plac Grzybowski. The building was designed by Leandro Marconi, a son of the Italian-born architect Enrico Marconi. The façade is neo-romanticist, with notable neo-Byzantine elements. The building itself is rectangular, with the internal chamber divided into three aisles.
The synagogue was officially opened to the public on May 26, 1902. The following year the founders donated it to the Warsaw Jewish Commune, in exchange for yearly prayers in their intention. In 1923 the building was refurbished by Maurycy Grodzieński, who also designed a semi-circular choir that was attached to the eastern wall of the temple. In September 1939 the synagogue was damaged during an air raid. During World War II the area was part of the Small Ghetto and shared its fate during the Ghetto Uprising and then the liquidation of the Jewish community of Warsaw by the Nazis.
After 1941 the Germans used the building as stables and a depot. After the war the demolished building was partially restored and returned to the Warsaw Jewish Commune, but the reconstruction did not start. It was completely rebuilt between 1977 and 1983 (officially opened April 18, 1983). It was also then that a new wing was added to the eastern wall, currently housing the seat of the commune, as well as several other Jewish organizations.

I'm pretty sure this is covered in one of the FAQs, but I can't seem to find it.
Question: What is the policy on hotlinking photos from the Gallery for photo threads on other forums?
I want to duplicate threads I have posted here, and post them at urbanphoto.net, but I don't want to do this unless it's OK.
Is this OK? Should I limit it to only a few per week, month, year?

using the following: price and quality of food, service, and atmosphere. #1 is the best and #10 the least. the 10 in alphabetical order are Bongo's, Casey's Corner, Chef Mickey's, ESPN Club, Fulton's Crab house, LeCellier, O'hana (dinner), San Angel, Sci-Fi Dine in theater, Tusker House -breakfast buffet.
1.Fulton's Crab house 2.O'hana (dinner) 3.Sci-Fi Dine in theater 4.San Angel 5.Tusker House -breakfast buffet. 6.Bongo's 7.Chef Mickey's 8.Casey's Corner, 9.ESPN Club, 10.LeCellier I know I am probably the only person on the planet to dislike Le Cellier, but I have had 3 really cruddy meals there. The last meal the service and the food were horrible. We waited over an hour for our entrees...they were cold, sent back, and then just way over done! I find Brown Derby much better. My kids love Caseys (I don't do hot dogs!) June
1. LeCellier -- too many outstanding meals to count 2. Fulton's Crab House -- again an outstanding meal every time 3. Sci-Fi 4. Chef Mickey's 5. Casey's Corner -- like the fries, hate the hot dogs 6. ESPN Club --- never done 7. Bongo's -- never done 8. San Angel -- never done -- don't like Mexican food at all 9. Tusker House -- never done 10. Ohana -- never done
1. Chef Mickey's 2. Sci-Fi 3. 'Ohana 4. LeCellier (I have never tried: Bongo's, ESPN Club, Fulton's, San Angel, Tusker house)
. LeCellier - 1 2. Fulton's Crab House -Never Been 3. Sci-Fi -10 for dinner since they changed the menu we don't go anymore 4. Chef Mickey's - 1+++++++ Love this place for BK & Din 5. Casey's Corner - 1 6. ESPN Club - never done 7. Bongo's - never done 8. San Angel -never done 9. Tusker House -never done 10. Ohana - 1
1 - Le Cellier (great atmosphere & food) 2 - Yak & Yeti (TS - probably very underrated) 3 - Teppan Edo (I like japanese steakhouses) 4 - Chefs de France (hit or miss but can be awesome) 5 - Coral Reef (usually overbooked meaning you can wait, but we really liked it)
1. Tusker House breakfast buffet (good value/food and can get you a bit of a head start in the park) 2. Le Cellier (great value if you're on the dining plan) 3. Sci-Fi Dine-In (food isn't amazing but its a very fun place to eat, definitely worth trying) 4. San Angel Inn (havn't gotten very good service the last few times we've went, it used to be much better) 5. Chef Mickey's (only worth it if you have young children) 6. Casey's Corner (its generally pretty crowded and they're hotdogs...you can get them anywhere) Never done: Bongo's (havn't heard anything good about it) ESPN Club O'Hana (i'm severely allergic to nuts and just don't feel too comfortable in a restaurant with peanut sauce at every table) Fulton's Crab House
1. LeCellier 2. Fulton's Crab house 3. Casey's Corner 4. Chef Mickey's **Rest are ranked in order of my interest in trying them - never been to these** 5. Tusker House (Doing lunch here next trip - enjoy Boma so expect to like it here) 6. Bongo's (I love Cuban food) 7. O'hana (dinner - no interest in scrambled eggs for breakfast) 8. Sci-Fi Dine in theater 9. ESPN 10. San Angel (I left my heart at Los Olivos in Phoenix - I know this won't compare)
Here we go... 1. LeCellier - The nicest restaurant on your list... perfectly prepared food (usually) with a very nice and professional atmosphere. They have some of the best steaks in Disney, and the best in a theme park. 2. O'hana - Good food, all-you-can-eat, fun for the family. 3. Tusker House - Great food, great theming. 4. Fulton's Crab House - Sometimes great sometimes average, but neat seafood place. 5. Bongo's - Fun place in Donwtown Disney with above average food... but a little pricey for what you get. 6. San Angel Restaurante - Awesome, awesome atmosphere, but limited menu... if they've got what you like you'll love it... if not... 7. ESPN - Basically a nice Chili's / Applebee's / O'Charley's kind of restaurant themed to sports. 8. Chef Mickey's - Think Logan's / Golden Corral meets Disney. It's fun, but the food is usually below average. Children on the other hand will put this near the top. 9. Casey's - Nice little hot dog stand with unlimited cheese sauce for your fries and a good spot to watch Wishes and Spectromagic. Nothing special though... 10. Sci-Fi - The only "yech" restaurant on the list. Every time I have been the food was below average (think reheated), the video on the "movie screen" is on a loop that you'll see repeatedly, and the little vintage car mock-ups you sit in are just not worth it. Skippable; better restaurants to be had in DHS. Hope that helps, BL
Leaving out the places we haven't tried (Bongo's , LeCellier, , San Angel, Tusker House -breakfast buffet) 1 Fulton's Crab house 2 O'hana (dinner) 3 Sci-Fi Dine in theater 4 Chef Mickey's 5 ESPN Club 6 Casey's Corner Upcoming trip, we are hoping to try LeCellier. It's the first place we will try to get an ADR for when we call.
I have not been to all but here is what I think Le Cellier-LOVED it. Our favorite. Best steak I ever had. And the soup-mmmmm Chef Mickey's- this is a tradition for us. Always first day meal. So far we have done breakfast, but are going to try dinner next time Ohana-Have not been to dinner, but it is our favorite breakfast meal. Love the atmosphere-which I am sure is the same at dinner Casey's Corner- I do not eat hotdogs, but DH loves theirs. ESPN- just alright. We are not sports fans and the food was just ok Fulton's Crab House- will never go back. Food was WAY overpriced and was not very good. This was 10 years ago, so it may have changed. Our family nicknamed it the craphouse. Have not been to your other choices, so no comment.

An excellent point made recently by a frozen pensioner in the bapaemail news group.
It seems to me that we had no choice other than to pay increasing (indexed) NI contributions and indexed class 3 contributions throughout our working lives and afterwards. I think it a bit rich that, having required us to pay indexed contributions, the government now reneges on indexed payments!
Shailesh Vara, The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice, The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, recently took refuge in the old canard that freezing of pensions has been government policy for 70 years.
A frozen pensioner wrote an excellent reply on "They Work for You"
Another new EDM.
That this House believes that all pensioners have the right to dignity in retirement; notes that 550,000 British pensioners living in 122 countries overseas do not get their pension automatically uprated, but pensioners living in other countries do; regrets that, while those pensioners adversely affected have made the necessary National Insurance contributions they are denied an equal pension; further notes that these pensioners are living on effectively declining incomes, sometimes on as little as Ł30 per week; recognises that pensioners retiring abroad deliver considerable savings to the UK economy; further believes that this policy has a negative impact on the ability of many British citizens who might wish to retire abroad to do so; and urges the Government to consider ways to allow pensioners to receive the full pensions that they are entitled to, and to retire in dignity wherever they choose to live.
Here is the best place to go to read the new EDM.
And this is what it says:

It is time to write to your MP and ask them to sign.
of our members wrote to the Federal Treasurer about the Australian Government's attitude to the frozen pension situation. Mr Hockey referred it to the appropriate Minister. Here is an encouraging letter our member received.We have started a petition.
Read and sign petition, click here.
To learn more about the background to this petition, go to petition.htm
Our aim is to make the British public aware of, and sympathetic to, our cause. Please do your best to encourage your family and friends. Especially those who live in the UK. There is no upper limit to the number of signatures we want.
Here is a sample of the comments that have been left by some of the people who have already signed: comments.htm
Message from
Chairman International Consortium of British PensionersWe are now embarking on a massive letter writing campaign to all MPs in the UK. I really hope that you will help us in this.
The ICBP have already written to each of them, letting them know that we intend to make frozen pensions an issue at the next general election.
Now we need YOU to reinforce that message. The more letters and emails MPs receive, the more convinced they will be that pensions must be part of their party's manifesto.
Please write your own letter to your UK MP ( if you live overseas, don't mention when you left the UK, just that you used to live at x address), making the following key points:
1. 1. This will be an election issue in the upcoming General Election. You intend to ask all your friends and relatives to vote for the candidate who supports the unfreezing of the frozen pensions
2. 2. Ask your MP to show his or her support for ending the freezing of pensions by supporting the All Party Parliamentary Group on unfreezing. They can do this by simply sending an email to email@example.com confirming their support for the APPG
If you do not know who the current MP in your constituency is, you can easily find this information by going to the website: http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/
The address to use for a letter is:
MP name
House of
If you do not wish to write a letter, you can also send them an email (although a letter is better). You can see a list of all MPs email contact details on this website. http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/mps/ Just click on the MP's name.
This campaign is extremely important to our cause. MPs pay attention when their constituents (or former constituents) write to them, if they think that there are votes involved.. If you lived in more than one constituency you can even write to more than one MP.
Finally, when you or your friends and family do write to an MP, please let us know to whom you addressed your letter. It is very important information for us to keep track of all MPs who support us. You can send us an email at email@example.com with the MPs name.
Thank you for your help in this matter. This letter campaign is vital to our stategy and we will be asking you to write to your MP again.
Sheila Telford
Chairman International Consortium of British Pensioners
It is reported that David Cameron is sympathetic to our cause, but apprehensive lest abolishing the freezing regime could lead to large claims for back-payment. I have written to Sir Roger Gale and Sir Peter Bottomley suggesting that they reassure the PM on this matter.
The frozen pensioner groups lost in their last ditch appeal to the Grand Chamber, on the basis that what UK did was legal. In the original Carson case no representations were made about back-pay, possibly because Carson had not been retired long enough for it to be a problem. Those who joined in the case after the HoL decision did include back-pay, but the case was still decided against us.
The ICBP and pensioner associations have indicated that they would not wish to pursue back-pay. Any attempt to sue for it would fail, because of the precedent set by the Carson case. If the pensioner groups did not pursue this, we can be sure that no individual would have the funds to launch a new case.
Questions and answers about pension freezing.
1. We sometimes see the answer that the Carson case went all the way up to the
ECHR, and it was ruled that the government had not broken the law. However, it
is a law that the government (or its predecessors) made. It is like the old
saying that "the King can do no wrong"; if you make the law then you don't break
the law, however unjust it may seem.
2. The new proposal for class A3 contributions will be of immense use to
self-employed, to people with less than a lifetime of contributing, and to
people who wish to boost their additional pensions. But it seems that people
will pay the same contribution whether they live in an indexed country or a
frozen one. This is very blatant discrimination. They should all get the same
3. If someone with a frozen pension takes up the offer, will his extra pension
be frozen at the same date as his existing pension, or will it be frozen at the
time he pays the A3? For example, if someone who came to Australia in 2002 pays
an A3 contribution in 2014, will that extra pension be frozen at 2014 or will
the freeze be backdated to 2002? Freezing his existing pension at 2002 and his
new pension at 2014 would need an adjustment to DWP computer programs to record
different freeze dates. Particularly important when a frozen pensioner visits
Britain or returns for permanent residence.
4. Someone gave the excuse that "they don't vote". The same could be said about
pensioners living in Florida.
5. Some claim that the pension is a PAYGO payment, paid from taxation and not
from a fund. This is irrelevant, because that was the way Beveridge designed the
scheme. All payments would be made into or out of the NIF, which would be backed
and guaranteed by the taxpayer. Contributions generate a right, independently of
the source of the funds.
Click HERE to read a good article from the London Daily Telegraph. It deals with the plight of frozen pensioners who find they can no longer live on the pension they receive as emigrants and have to return to Britain to live in order to get their full pension. The example in the article deals with a lady who emigrated to Canada to be near her daughter and grandchildren. Now she has to move back to Britain to get her proper pension, and will be separated from her daughter and grandchildren by a long flight, which she could only afford occasionally.
The ICBP says this article will appear in the print edition.
It is with sadness that we report the death of a stalwart fighter for our cause. David Waterhouse died in early January just before his 89th birthday. David was previously web manager and designer of the BAPA web site. He also filled several positions on the old BAPA committee: Treasurer, Membership Secretary, News Letter Editor.
We have sent condolences to his widow, Joy. Both have lived in an aged care facility for a few years.
I learned that there could be an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) set up to consider the whole question of frozen pensions. My ideas came to fruition when I had an email from a Labour MP who actually supports our cause.
Here you will find my ideas that may be worth looking at. I would welcome your ideas.

A letter in the Financial Times, written by John Markham, argued our cause very well. It was much the same as a letter written to all MPs by the ICBP.
Dian Elvin, now resident in UK but still fighting our cause writes:
I sent a reply to the FT. The letter appears in the newspaper
today (Saturday 9 Nov) and is given the top space in the letter section.
I wrote:
It's a very good letter. This country and all its political parties should be
ashamed of themselves. There is no intelligent or logical reason why a
pensioner, who has paid insurance dues regularly in advance, should be denied
the pension plus annual cost of living additions on retirement. The employer
also paid in advance and both payments were compulsory. Why on earth do cost of
living additions depend upon the country where our pensioners decide to retire?
There is in fact no need for a reciprocal agreement. This is just a convenient
excuse, used to duck out of an agreed pension payment to 50% of our own
pensioners retiring abroad, including, as John Markham points out, our own
surviving war veterans. The payment into the National Insurance Fund is, just
that: insurance for a small, annually increased, income for old age. No other
insurance company would be allowed to get away with this behaviour. May the
up-coming Pension Debate in the Lords finally put an end to the shameful rule
which has blighted the lives of a fraction of our old people for decades, and
will continue if it is not stopped.

Ian Duncan Smith is the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. In other words, he is the chief of the DWP.
Recently in London a friend of our cause attended a function where IDS was the speaker. He asked IDS about the pension freezing policy.
"IDS said he was personally sympathetic but the Treasury will not loosen the purse strings."
Now IDS is of course an elected MP and a minister. Also the Chancellor is an elected MP and a minister.
But who elected the Treasury? Who elected these mandarins? Are they supposed to do the bidding of the government, or is the government supposed to do their bidding?
It is not their money, it is not even the government's money. It is the money we and other pensioners and prospective pensioners paid in to undergird our pensions.
There is an article in the London Daily Telegraph proposing that if Britain does not end the pension freezing regime they should be expelled from the Commonwealth. It is not really a likely event, but read it and see what you think.
'Suspend Britain from Commonwealth over unfair expat pensions'
This article, recommended by Ava Hubble, is worth your attention and action.
Please go to the article, and vote "Yes". The vote button is less than half-way down the article. After voting, have a look at the results. You can then go on to the comments (way far down) and click on "recommend" for any comment that seems to support our cause.
There's a huge long list of comments - 11 pages last time I looked. It's probably not worth your while going on past the first or second pages of comments, because comments and "likes" will only be seen by people who read the article after you do.
But every little helps.
The Category B pension has been much in the news since the new single-tier pension was announced. If you want to know about the history of this type of pension, follow this link to category-b.htm In fact, it is not a new kind of pension introduced in the National Insurance Scheme in 1948; its history is much older than that.
A nice video from The International Consortium of British Pensioners (ICBP)
They want this to have a wide audience, or "go viral" as they so trendily put it.

Dian Elvin spotted a letter in the Daily Mail, complaining about the way pensioners are regarded by some as a drain on UK's finances. This prompted her to write in reply. Here is the text of her reply.
DAVE CLARK, London SW16 has a point and he is not the only pensioner who is increasingly annoyed at the implications that we are a drain on the country. Half of the British citizens retiring abroad, who have paid their National Insurance contributions towards an indexed pension are treated as though they are not worth looking after if they retire to a Commonwealth country or several other countries. They have their annual indexing removed and their state pensions are frozen. If they retire to a European country, the United States, or yet another batch of countries they receive the annual indexing to cover, as expected, the rise in the cost of living. Often they are joining their families abroad. There is no adequate reason for this difference in treatment. There are many excuses, but, as Dave Clark states, the annual surplus in the National Insurance Fund is not only adequate it is more than adequate. The trouble seems to be that this money has not been used for its original purpose and the large surplus has not been allocated to cover the indexing of all state pensions.
Pensioners living anywhere abroad save this country a great deal of money in health and care expenses, so why deduct the annual indexing of their pensions? This was paid for in advance when they (and their employers) paid into the National Insurance Fund.
A lady from Queensland wrote for advice. She had
received a letter from Centrelink to say she must apply for a British pension,
and if she did not apply, her Australian pension would be stopped. She knew that
she was not entitled to a British pension, but even Centrelink's international
desk told her the same story. She must apply.
She is 67, so reached UK state pension age before the change of rules in 2010.
As she only had 5 years of contributing in the UK she would not be entitled to
any UK pension.
I phoned her to ascertain some of these details and discuss her options. I
suggested that she would be no worse off if she applied, and even if she got a
pension from UK she would still be in pocket, since the means test takes at most
50%. She had used the internet to check on her status, so I suggested she call
into Centrelink and discuss the situation. They might even be prepared to look
on the net themselves and agree that there was no point in applying.
It could be that other people, maybe some of your friends, who have an
Australian pension but no British pension will be similarly affected. We do know
that if someone applies for the OZ pension for the first time they are obliged
to apply for a UK pension, or at least to enquire.
This could be due to some tightening of rules as Government tries to save money,
or it could be a dragnet to find people who could get a UK pension. They could
save even more if we had our pensions indexed and had a small reduction in
Australian pensions. As you all know, the means test does not mean they take
100% of your British pension, only 50%. We know that Jenny Macklin wants to see
our UK pensions indexed, but it could be worth while reminding your local MP,
and adding to the push.
MPs often try to play upon our heartstrings by claiming that NIF money is used to help fund the cost of building such things as schools and hospitals.
Peter sent an FOI request to the Debt Management Office about how the money in the National Insurance Fund Investment Account is used.
He says:
As I suspected, the Ł30 billion goes into General Revenue and so is used for all sorts of purposes, so not specifically schools and hospitals but also to wage wars on other countries, to pay aid to overseas countries and to pay MPs salaries and allowances, etc.
Use this when some MP tries to tell you that your money is used for schools and hospitals.
The work and pensions secretary, Iain Duncan Smith, has been
challenged to prove that he can fulfil his claim that he could live on Ł53 a
week in benefits.
This is about the same amount as the British pension was 20 years ago, and some
frozen pensioners still get that amount or even less.
But he said "I know what it is like to live on the breadline", admitting that
Ł53 a week is the breadline.
However, he is married to a rich woman, the daughter of a Baron. So when he was
on the dole, "daddy" was very generous.
You can read the story at
A friend saw Bob Geldof on Telly. As a result she decided to
write to him. We had some problems finding an email address, but finally found
one that looks promising.
This is what she sent:
I saw you on Australian TV this week commending the British government for the
amount of money they're spending in overseas aid which is, of course, admirable.
You also mentioned how people now aren't accepting the unfairness of
In relation to this have you heard what the British Government is doing to the
expat British pensioners in most Commonwealth countries such as Australia, S.
Africa, Canada, etc.
For some reason this doesn't apply to pensioners in most other countries such as
the USA and remember we all paid our insurance stamps in the UK so this isn't a
Pensioners here in Australia never receive an increase from the date they begin
to receive a pension, nor do we receive extras such as Christmas bonuses.
There have been some cases where expats in their 90s receive $11 p.w. although
they contributed to the system all their working life.
This has been to the House of Lords and I think the EEC court but we really need
someone like you to publicise this prime example of unacceptable government
unfairness. I've copied James Nelson who knows the details far better than me
but I'm sure we'd all be grateful for any publicity you could give to our cause.
In my opinion if this was a private superannuation rather than the government
there would be an outcry and even jail sentences.
Peter Morris discovered an interesting case in the UK. It is about part time judges in the UK who were being denied access to pension provision that were available to full time judges. It appears the part time judges successfully argued that cost (Ł2 billion+) was no impediment to fixing discrimination! The opposite result to our frozen pensioners court case apparently.
The case had gone to the Court of Justice of the EU, which referred it back to the Supreme Court with the comment that "budgetary considerations cannot justify discrimination"
We are looking into the possibility of getting ICBP interested in this case. But if they are not interested we would still recommend that you try to weave this into any email you send to a minister or a mandarin.
John Feltham has shared with us three emails he sent to a DWP committee. He received responses that show they were not generated by a machine. So somebody has read them.
1. His personal story.
2. About schools and hospitals. See the item below.
3. When did USA join the Commonwealth?
I understand that those UK pensioners living in the USA receive
all of the normal UK Pension upratings?
That really is funny!
I didn't know that they're still in the UK Commonwealth of Nations!
When did that happen?
I must have missed it.
This last one arises from a comment by a pensioner living in Canada to an online newspaper.
Sometimes when we write about the surplus in the National Insurance Fund we are told something like this.
As far as using the National Insurance Fund is concerned, any surplus - less the working balance - is held in a short-term investment account run by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt called the Debt Management Account Deposit Facility. The surplus is invested in public services such as schools and hospitals.
When I read this, I can hear purple violin music trying to reach our heart strings and make us feel guilty about asking for our rights. "You surely would not want to deprive the children of their education and operations".
Well it just does not work. What kind of ring fence is there to make sure the invested moneys are used only for schools and hospitals? What about rail and roads, tanks and bombers, and military aid to the Syrian rebels?
The Government Actuary, in his report on the progress of the NIF, says that fairly small variations in the rates of unemployment and other assumptions can make a big difference in the investible surplus - more than would be the outgo to index our pensions properly.
If you paid our indexation, the pensions we have paid for, there would be an injection into the Australian economy that would enable us to spend on schools and hospitals.
The Government tries to tell us that uprating our pensions would be unaffordable.
Yet in the Government Actuary's report on this year's pension increases and rates of contribution, it is revealed that small variations in the assumptions on which the report is based could make quite large differences in the balance of the National Insurance Fund. Bigger than the cost of uprating our pensions.
They say they are trying to contain the increasing cost of social security, quite overlooking the fact that pensions are not paid from general taxation. They are met from the National Insurance Fund - our money.
How can it be unaffordable to let us have our own money?
The government tries to tell us they can't afford to index our pensions. They seem to forget that we are not claiming Winter Fuel Allowance, Free bus passes, Free TV licence, NHS treatment (except to be treated like other visitors). These are all social welfare benefits. Paid out of general revenue.
What we do claim, what we do ask for, is what we paid for. Not social welfare, but social insurance. Paid out of the National Insurance Fund. They call it a "contributory benefit" - we contributed.
With the compliments of British Age Pensioner Alliance

Then we are in agreement. I never advocated raising the benefit, only the top income cutoff. Also, I'd like to see SS tax extended to CAPITAL GAINS.<quoted text>
No, it wouldn't.
The more they are taxed on, the more they receive in benefits later.
Yes you would get a temporary "surplus" in social security, but as we've seen in the past the Congress would spend every penny of that surplus on wars and then when those who paid more get around to retiring the money won't be there to pay their higher benefits.
It only works if you increase the taxable income, but NOT increase the limit on the current maximum a person can receive when they retire- currently about $2500 per month.
THAT I WOULD support, because it's another way of essentially means testing social security.
When you and I, or 'them' go for SS or medicare, we all get the same benefit, more or less (as you say, about $2500 for SS.) And 'they' will be using doctors who wouldn't dirty their computers with the nickles and dimes that medicare pays.
Senator Pat Moynahan tried his mightiest to create a "lockbox" for SS, but that was to build up a surplus for the next 30 years. After that, the 'WWII Babyboom' crisis will be over, and surplus not necessary.
The people in the second half of the 21st Century will inherit a slight surplus, and can handle their retirement and SS as they see fit in that future.

As above, I use system() to call the TAR command, it works with -cf, I tried to add compression using -z and the archive was not created, i use test.tar as the sample archive name, and the file was created but it seems to be empty, using it without -z works though.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Can you post the device model and OS version you're testing with please? Always a good idea to include this information.
I tried with my Z10 and found that gzip appears to be absent which is why tar with -z is failing. If you open a ssh session from Momentics you can test this at the command line:
$ tar cvfz test.tar hello.txt goodbye.txt
tar (child): gzip: goodbye.txt
Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I'll check this further as I'm not clear whether this is deliberate or an ommission in the build.
I can confirm that the compression option of tar is not supported. gzip is not included in the BlackBerry 10 platform at this stage. Sorry :-)
zip is there though in /usr/bin so you could compress in a separate step.
I see, thanks!
