You might try a more general red hat users forum or something. Most Linux filesystems, however, allow for advisory locking through the fcntl() system call. Advisory locks are like stoplights -- they only work if all programs respect them. You haven't said anything about how your users are accessing files, so it's tough to know whether the programs you're using respect (and set) fcntl locks (however most well written programs do). Some linux filesystems allow you to mount them with a -o mand option, which will enforce manditory locking. In any case, your software needs to set the correct flags to lock the files when opening them. See the fcntl(2) manpage for more info, and check the source code of your software (or check with the vendor) to find out whether it does fcntl locks. Hope this helps, Jeff

Symantec: Fake Brower Warnings Pushing Scareware
Several malicious websites are displaying bogus alerts. In a blog post, Symantec's Parveen Vashishtha explains:
Regardless of what browser is used, the user is presented with the same misleading dialog box that seemingly forces the download of Firefox and Chrome updates.
Clicking the cancel button doesn't seem to do any good, as the misleading dialog box continues to pop up. Vashishtha goes on to say:
If more savvy users don't download the misleading application executable, then these websites will redirect users to a website that, in turn, further redirects to a malicious website that is hosting the infamous Phoenix exploit kit.
Windows PCs that are up to date with bug patches are immune from the exploit kit. As always, users are advised not to click on unverified hyperlinks.

We stumbled upon this wonderful Phish '95 Fall Tour write-up via are friends over at YEMblog.
A true test of endurance, they would have only a week off the whole tour, the week after the Halloween show. The tour went across the whole country, starting in California, and ending three month later in Lake Placid, NY. It had a chess tournament where the band and audience alternated making moves. The final score, 1-1. As the tour continued, the shows got stronger and reached a peak as they finally returned to their old stomping grounds in the Northeast and MidAtlantic states. I was fortunate enough to have caught four shows on this tour.

I read with much enjoyment Rachel's article on adopting a dog from the Brunswick County Animal Shelter. Our Decision Day was last August when my wife and I agreed to let our daughter get a dog.
Before that I had it made—a lovely family with grandchildren and a great black Lab that lived just next door to us, which I could pet, give treats and play with.

Bristol Palin pregnant
2 comments:
- Ted said...
This is a plus. As Mark Steyn points out in his recent best seller, America Alone, if our western civilization is demographically to survive in the increasingly "hostile to the west" islamic world — and not end up like the sinking European populations — these are the precise people (the Bristol Palins') we should thank for increasing their progeny.

Thanks for your comment, true, there is nothing wrong about her being pregnant. I hope she will have a lovely baby.
But I am not sure that this baby will be the saviour of our Western civilisation.
While if that were the case, some three wisemen from the east should allready be on the road, paying their tribute to this future King. - September 2, 2008 at 10:11 AM

What's New
√ Performance enhancements!
App Description
Lightspeed Bit Bit is a unique retro neon stylized arcade game. The simple one finger control makes it easy for anybody to pick up and play, but it's also challenging without being frustrating. This game has three awesome game modes.
◊Bit Bit Mode: This is the main mode of the game. There are three difficulties-Easy, Medium, and Insane. Your ship loses a little bit of health every second and also when you collect the wrong color bit. You must collect bits that match the color of your ship to add to your health and score. Your ship randomly changes color and each ship has its own personal chiptune music theme. There are also power-ups that randomly appear. There is a Gamecenter leaderboard for each difficulty.
◊Obstacle Mode: Your goal in this mode is to reach the finish line. Each level has 3 stars that can be collected if you want to challenge yourself. Watch out for the cosmic blocks, they do massive damage.
◊One Bit Mode: This mode is locked until you meet or surpass 50,000 points in Bit Bit Mode. One Bit Mode has the same concept as Bit Bit Mode, except there's only one difficulty…….Brutal. Your ship changes color every time you get the correct color bit, but if you get the wrong color bit…..it's gameover…….until you press restart.
3 awesome game modes!
Fast gameplay!
Simple controls!
Sharp graphics!
Bits! Bit bits! Bit bit bits!
Game Center!
Personal high scores!
Endless fun!
Huge particle effects!
Minimalistic retro sound fx!
Awesome chiptune music!
Oh my!
You can view the gameplay trailer on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0XzCoTb1AY or just search "Lightspeed Bit Bit"

Talk to your kids about…
The Jungle Book (Disney's)
Bagheera and Baloo love Mowgli, yet each has a different idea about what would be best for his future. Although Bagheera's approach seems harsh while Baloo's appears idyllic, what do you think the results of each method would be? Why is the hard way often the best way?
Psychologists often debate over what has more influence in our lives: Nature (what we are born like) or nurture (how we are raised). This tug-of-war is played out in the extreme case presented here because Mowgli was born human, yet raised as a wolf. Which of these two factors has the greatest influence on who you are?

- - What Colour Looks Best on My Appaloosa?
What Colour Looks Best on My Appaloosa? Hi Everyone! I'm looking to start showing my new Appaloosa mare in a few months, and I'm having trouble deciding what colour would look best with her. I'm going to be showing her western in halter/showmanship and pleasure, as well as barrels/gymkhana. She's chestnut, white, and a little bit grey, but roan so it all blends in. Personally, I like turquoise on her so far the best, but I'm biased because it's my absolute favourite colour. Let me know what you guys think! (: [IMG]http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/...elkjlkjlkj.jpg[/IMG] |
730 Attachment(s) I think reds/maroons would be great on her, or navy blue. |
As a general observation on this color horse you need dark and bold colors. Navy, deep maroon, darker purple. If your turquoise is deep and not in what I refer to as a pastel shade, that works as well. Lighter colored horses do well in bold colors; darker horses in brighter colors. My new gray looks fantastic in Royal Blue and a dark Teal but for show purposes I am going to use a black pad (dressage) as the white pad fades into his coat. |
it's funny, I actually do have all maroon stuff for her everyday tack. but I do like the navy blue idea a lot, I'll have to try that on her. Most of the turquoise show tack and clothes I have are that deeper colour, so hopefully it'll look good. I actually just bought some deep turquoise chaps, I'll post a picture on here if I think of it when they get here. But here's my mare in her maroon! [IMG]http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/...822_190416.jpg[/IMG] |
Definately turquoise or maroon(: |
With her, I'd do outfits with a black base accented with jewel tones like emerald, turquoise or purple. Solid fitted shirts are a very popular trend right now, and I think that'd look really sharp on her in contrast to her loud coloring. I see that you just said you bought turquoise chaps, so personally I'd at least start witha solid blouse in the same color, then find a patterened saddle blanket that incorporates the turquoise, and maybe black and white as well to add a little "pop". For showmanship/halter, a (cheap-ish) option is to buy a simple pant suit, dressed up by a blouse in a color of your choice plus a scarf. Of course you can go the "blingy" option as well, but I think it's nice to being with some nice "staple, always in style" items and go from there. My outfit as an example: http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps6c9cff42.jpg Edit: here's an example of the plain fitted blouse look with a patterned blanket. You really can't go wrong with it! Plus, you can always get a different blanket and scarf to change it up a bit. http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/u...psb0388dbf.jpg http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps3abb9cb5.jpg |
Your halter needs to be adjusted to be shown in. Pull it up higher on your horses face. The throatlatch piece needs to go behind the cheeks and around the throatlatch. The noseband should hit right below the cheek. Pull it up a couple of holes at the crown and adjust the shape of the throatlatch and the tightness of the nose. It should lay flat against the head all over. No loose bits. |
That's not her halter, it's my other appy's... I just put it on for fun since I haven't ordered her a halter yet. Also, this isn't a "critique my horse's whatever" post, I was asking what colour looks best on her. But thank you for the advice. |
Yesterday was like Christmas- it was payday, and most of my new show clothes came! :) So, this is the pleasure/equitation outfit I plan on using with my appy. I wanted to do something different than the usual, since in the past I've always done black hat, black chaps, and a black-based shirt. I figured the chocolate brown would be a nice blend to her colour, and then the turquoise would pop without being too obnoxious. It all started with the turquoise chaps, which came with a gorgeous turquoise shirt but the turquoise in the shirt didn't match the chaps. So, I found this shirt and fell in love with it! It's got subtle turquoise coloring through it, but has the chocolate base. And then the hat came along, which actually has turquoise stones in the buckle. Just to be safe (and because I found such a good deal), I also got a pair of chocolate chaps in case the turquoise doesn't look right. I also have a showmanship outfit on the way- it's brown based with a beautiful turquoise and tan colored design through the shirt. I'll post pictures of that when it comes, too. I'm so excited! :) http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/...ryGirl/aaa.jpg |
Good combination of colours with your outfit, QtrAppy. I like the brown base colour scheme for your guy. I must confess that I think the chocolate chaps may be a better choice over the turquoise but I guess we won't be able to say for sure until we see pictures of both assembles modeled. What colour of saddle blanket are going with? |

State Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, announced Tuesday that he will introduce legislation to stop companies in other states from dumping their low-level radioactive waste materials in Michigan landfills.
Jones� bill would strengthen Michigan�s regulations concerning disposal of radioactive drilling wastes to mirror those already existing in neighboring Great Lakes states, such as Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Jones noted that the waste at issue in this case is technologically enhanced, naturally occurring radioactive material that is an oil and gas drilling byproduct, which accumulates radiation that normally occurs in nature.
According to news reports, a landfill in Wayne County received approval from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in 2006 to accept the low-level radioactive material, and states such as Ohio have recommended using the facility.

text: As 2012 came to a close, Sao Paolo joined the jurisdictions that allow same-sex marriage. The joy this news elicited is absolutely warranted. However, it may cover up the fact that equal marriage rights do not mean the end to hostility against those who aren't straight. Arguably nowhere is this truer than in Latin America. First the good news. Latin America has been making unprecedented advances on same-sex marriage and related issues these past couple of years. Argentina legalized same-sex marriage in 2010, becoming the first country in Latin America to do so, right after Mexico City, the largest metropolis in the region, did the same in 2009. In early December 2012, Saba Island in the Caribbean followed suit, and Uruguay's lower house passed a same-sex marriage bill. And then, as mentioned, later in December, Sao Paolo did the same. Meanwhile, the transgender rights regulations that were pushed through by Argentina's government earlier in 2012 are considered some of the world's most progressive. Bearing all this in mind, one might be excused for thinking that Latin America is an accepting and safe place to live for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people. That would be the wrong conclusion.

A tablehopper reader writes in, "My hubby and I were at Whole Foods in SoMa on Saturday January 3rd. We were making salads at the salad bar and noticed a dapper man. Upon closer inspection, lo and behold, it was Mos Def creating his own healthy salad. An older man, his driver, was close by. We were glad Mos eats healthy AND builds his own salads rather than sending someone in. He quickly ducked out so I was not able to accost him." Word.
Another reader write in, "My friends and I swore that Emily VanCamp, who plays Rebecca Harper on ABC's Brothers & Sisters, was dining [at Cav Wine Bar & Kitchen] with a posse last Friday night." I wasn't able to get a positive I.D. from Cav (owner Pamela Busch watches different TV shows), so we'll just have to take the reader's word for it!

From my buddy over at Reed, ASCAP's new effort to stem illegal downloading, Donny the Downloader:
The centerpiece of The Donny the Downloader Experience curriculum is a multi-media school assembly program featuring fast-paced animated videos starring the misadventures of Donny. Donny is a 14-year old who's tech-savvy, but unaware of the bigger picture of why illegal downloading hurts the same performing artists and songwriters whose music he loves. The program centers on the negative reactions from the other kids and adults in his life who he tries to impress with his access to supposedly "free" music, while demystifying the process of how music is created.
In addition to the animated "Donny" segments, the assembly also features compelling video segments that introduce real-life, 17-year-old aspiring music creator, Sonya Bender. The videos follow Sonya as she meets with music creators, producers and publishers to get an unfiltered perspective on how illegally downloaded music negatively impacts their ability to make a living from being creative. The assembly experience also includes an interactive component, where students perform a special "Donny" skit to help reinforce what they've learned.
Check out the excerpt here, it's totally rad and stupid fresh. For a cogent counterpoint, here's Simian Mobile Disco:
In any case, a very interesting debate.

Sir Richard Branson has never been afraid to tackle big, thorny business problems or large, complex social issues. One of his latest challenges: Ending the war on drugs, combines both of them.
Read Whole Story
The failure of the Drug War is both clear and tragic. The United States is home to just five percent of the world's population but fully 25 percent of the world's prison population.
Sam Branson, son of Richard, announced this week that anyone in the world can view his documentary for free for one month, not in movie theatres, but on his production company's branded YouTube channel.
A drug policy based on health, harm reduction, cost effectiveness and human rights is no longer an impossible dream; it is something that is almost within our reach.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Pawlenty: Hey, At Least I'm Not On A Pub Crawl Like Obama
This was Pawlenty's version of a comeback, tweeted from his campaign account:
"@BarackObama sorry to interrupt the European pub crawl, but what was your Medicare plan?"
Republicans have attacked Obama and Democrats over and over for not offering their own Medicare plan in the wake of the Ryan budget which has roiled politics since Congress passed it. Democrats have not released a comprehensive plan in response to the Ryan budget, but the health care law Obama signed in 2010 was his answer to bringing down the cost of Medicare while preserving its core feature: guaranteed health care. Or as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) put it: "We have a plan. It's called Medicare."
Republicans have threatened to undo that scheme, and of course Pawlenty is in favor of repealing the health care law as is every other mainline Republican running for president.
Pawlenty has praised the Ryan plan, but has promised to release his own Medicare reform plan that is different from Ryan's. That plan is expected in the coming weeks.

He goes as far as stating that if Sun dropped out of OOo-development this "wouldn't be an entirely negative thing". He also goes on to talk about promoting Go-oo instead, and emphasizes the importance of breaking down the barriers between GNOME and KDE.

Can we please stop talking about these issues as if it is morally wrong to choose different licenses, require copyright assignment, or whatever?
Ultimately, "open source" boils down to whether the source code is available. That's the heart of the issue, and pretending that the license is the litmus test for "open" is a load of crap. Just show me the source code, and then get the f out of the way, people.

Lazarus Components Library - backend independent components dependency package
Lazarus is an IDE to create (graphical and console) applications with Free Pascal, the (L)GPLed Pascal and Object Pascal compiler that runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and more.
Lazarus is the missing part of the puzzle that will allow you to develop programs for all of the above platforms in a Delphi-like environment. The IDE is a RAD tool that includes a form designer.
Unlike Java's "write once, run anywhere" motto, Lazarus and Free Pascal strive for "write once, compile anywhere". Since the exact same compiler is available on all of the above platforms you don't need to do any recoding to produce identical products for different platforms.
In short, Lazarus is a free RAD tool for Free Pascal using its Lazarus Component Library (LCL).
This dependency package always depends on the latest available version of the package containing common components.

How to Copy from Many and Paste Once
March 4, 2008 – 11:00 pmImagine being able to copy files from different locations on your hard disk and paste all of it at once to another directory? That will save us some copy and pasting time, won't it? For example, I can copy some family photos from different folders and dump all of them at once to another folder with the paste command, so I can quickly create a scrapbook from it. With a freeware called Piky Basket, this is achievable.
Piky Basket aims to help you organize your files better by providing a creatively thought alternative to the default Windows copy and paste operation. It has three functions:
- The most important feature is the ability to copy files from many directories and paste them once to another target folder (copy, copy, copy…. and paste). As an analogy, imagine being at the supermarket where you put all your things inside the basket (copy) and pay all of them at once at the counter (paste).
- Batch copy paths to clipboard – once you have all your files inside the Piky Basket, you can select the "Copy Paths to Clipboard" option to copy all the file locations. You can then paste the paths to Notepad for file sharing purposes, as an example. Useful for sending mapped drive paths to co-workers.
- Quick directory command prompt – right click on a specific folder and click "Command Prompt Here" to open the Windows command prompt with that folder as the base location.
Piky Basket comes with sound effects. Therefore, you will instantly know that you have successfully copied a file, empty your collection baskets etc. Moreover, you can select a number of files to be copied using the "Select" function instead of pasting it all.
Piky Basket also allows you to move files to a new folder instead of the default copy action. Piky Basket is a definite must have for those who are looking for a better way to copy / move files in batch.

- Description
This sample is of nice structural interest. It was a shaly limestone, but then it got squeezed. Foliation developed at an angle to bedding, meaning that technically the rock now bears slaty cleavage. It's still a limestone, compositionally, but the well-developed foliation means that it's texturally a slate. Sampling location unknown. From the GMU teaching collection.
Sample measures 6.5 cm wide by 5.6 cm tall (on the face that is in focus in this GigaPan).

Hey all
So after months of browsing these forums, I thought it was probably time to write my first post!
After a year of blasting out the iPhone 5 headphones daily, and occasional use of some studio beats (got them for free, don't shoot me lol), I decided it was about time to sort myself out some decent cans. Looked around for a while, and realised how confusing and hard it is to choose headphones! so after a few guides, and reading hundreds of reviews, i chanced it with a pair of Aiaiai TMA 1's Beatport edition as 9/10 reviews were really positive. and for 140£ delivered, i thought it would be a safe bet.
2 days later, a parcel. Woo!.. i had a little listen to them straight out the box, and i have to say the sound was shocking. Everything was so muddy and it all sounded very.... bunched (not great at explaining sound). I had read on the web before about the burning in, and how some people thought it was a myth, but I thought I'd try it to see if i can get some sort of decent sound out of these cans before i sent them straight back.
Left them playing for 2 hours, tried them again, the change of sound was actually quite noticeable, but still not quite right. Listened to them all evening, didn't notice any changes, and also left them running for 8 hours today... Still not any different. Its not that they have crap sound quality, they have a good bass kick, and individual instruments/sounds sound pretty good
But overall, when it all comes together they just sound cramped, and very 'dark'.. (which yes, i did read that they have a dark sound, but didn't think it would be like this) The only way i can really describe it is that it sounds very closed and needs opening up? If that makes sense. It sounds like the Filter effect is always slightly on, I've tried EQ'ing it out on iTunes which has made them sound better but still not right. Also its mostly voices, and what sounds like mid range where its mostly noticeable ?
Im really confused because most reviews i read were really positive, yet mine really don't sound right. I was thinking too that maybe it could be because I'm not used to over/on ear headphones?
Does anyone have any opinions on the matter? I'm gonna keep them for a week and then decide whether to swap them in for another set (bought them on amazon.co.uk so can get a refund if necessary)
Thnks for reading!

Weight-loss hypnosis may help you shed an extra few pounds when it's part of a weight-loss plan that includes diet, exercise and counseling. But it's hard to say definitively because there isn't enough solid scientific evidence about weight-loss hypnosis alone.
Hypnosis is a state of inner absorption and concentration, like being in a trance. Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a hypnotherapist using verbal repetition and mental images. When you're under hypnosis, your attention is highly focused, and you're more responsive to suggestions, including behavior changes that can help you lose weight.
A few studies have evaluated the use of weight-loss hypnosis. Most studies showed only slight weight loss, with an average loss of about 6 pounds (2.7 kilograms) over 18 months. But the quality of some of these studies has been questioned, making it hard to determine the true effectiveness of weight-loss hypnosis.
Weight loss is usually best achieved with diet and exercise. If you've tried diet and exercise but are still struggling to meet your weight-loss goal, talk to your health care provider about other options or lifestyle changes that you can make. Don't rely on weight-loss hypnosis alone because it's unlikely to lead to significant weight loss.

This is very interesting. I wonder how this will affect the increase in crime in Palo Alto. We have been increasing all sorts of crime and I am sure there is a connection somewhere.

Where are the Raging Grannies? Where are the torch protesters? There's a war going on in our backyard and none of you really seem to care, do you? A story or thread about Don Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, George Bush, Global Warming or of course, Israel will get dozens of comments in hours. A story about violence and death in E. Palo Alto will probably get ignored. I'd like to know what we as Palo Altans can do about this tragedy next-door.

A man held up Baskin Robbins on Middlefield Road late Thursday, threatened a clerk with a semi-automatic gun and leaving with an unknown amount of money, Palo Alto Police Sgt. Sandra Brown said Friday.
The man entered the ice-cream store around 10 p.m. as it was closing. He waited behind a customer, then said something about a burglary and showed the gun to the clerk, Brown said.
"She couldn't really understand what he was saying so she didn't pay him any attention. She thought he was buying ice cream," Brown said.
Even after seeing the gun, the clerk still thought the man was joking, Brown said.
"She got the clue when he didn't leave," Brown said.
She then gave him an unknown amount of money, she said.
Witnesses heard a motorcycle leaving.

Raging Grannies DO care about safety in East Palo Alto. We are out protecting tenants rights for safe housing in East Palo Alto and demonstrating against racial profiling in Palo Alto. We speak out against crime everywhere...but basically what leads to it. Lack of adequate educational opportunities for the very young and assistance for mothers of young children are two that we focus on. We also support families of people with incarcerated loved ones to aid their return to society. Since you asked (commenter #1) Visit us at www.RagingGrannies.com.

The engine that drives violent crime in EPA is the illegal drug trade and the gangs that compete for distribution monopolies.
That is it, pure and simple.
How do you deal with it, you have 1 strategy and 2 tactics.
The strategy is to change the risk and reward balance so the economics do not make sense for continuing
You can
1/ crack down ruthlessly on gangsters and keep after them constantly, get the community to spy and inform on them. This makes the risk greater than the reward.
2/ permit the distribution of drugs in some regulated fashion, this destroys the profit motive, takes out the underground economy.
The gangsters will, of course, move on to distributing some other vice, sex or gambling etc, but these are much less violent because they are much less profitable

Right on our doorstep we have boys growing up in a society where young men are turning to crime because that is all they see. They are being brought up by mothers who are unable to provide them with the advantages which a strong male role model in their lives would bring. These young men need to have adult men in their lives who can teach them right from wrong, teach them that there are better ways to spend their time than hanging around with the wrong crowd and that education and safe recreational pursuits are the best start to a life free of crime.
If some of the money that has been spent by both sides on prop 8 were spent on giving the youth of EPA and other crime ridden areas a better hope of the future in gyms and other safe recreation, and some of those activists with so much time on their hands could spend some time mentoring the young men of EPA with sports and other recreational programs and homework help and teaching useful skills that can help them to find useful work and careers in their future, then perhaps we would be finding a useful outlet for the frustrations that everyone is feeling.

Blog post anyone?
When did the engineer get a hairy ass as a face misc.
What's Cructo doing? He makes the thread before the game actually updates.
It's because people are starving for a major content update or a blog post
Hello there new Spray, how are you doing?
See? Red!
No, wait, that's blood
Cructo leaned up against the computer, his lips trembling. This was it. Thursday. His day. Today, just as always, he would wait and watch. When the update hit, he would be the first to tell everyone. His unwavering gaze stared intently at the Gmail inbox, waiting for that fabled e-mail. As soon as he saw it, he would have his prize. Everyone would see him, and see what he knew. He would be the bringer of the light in this sea of darkness.
"Soon, Rainbow Dash," he said, stroking the plastic horse on his desk, not breaking his gaze from the computer, "soon they shall see that we are the fastest. No man will rate us late tonight." He let out a quiet "hue hue hue" to himself, and refreshed the page.
"No man will rate us late tonight."
and then they fucked I don't know where I'm going with this
I so wish those unused lines from meet the sandvich could get implemented somehow.
and everything was quiet...

Mention the Australian outback and most people think of the Red Centre, the very heart of the great southern land. But every state in Australia has its own share of outback terrain. This year, the famous Australian Safari cross-country rally moved base from the Centre to the more easily accessible eastern state of New South Wales. Conditions were tough and so was the battle.
Even for those Australians who have no interest in car racing, the city of Bathurst is famous. It's the country's motorsport mecca, home of one of the most demanding street circuits in the world, Mt Panorama.
Each October, thousands of the faithful make their way to the Mountain, as it is generally known, to watch the touring car race known as the Bathurst 1000 - 161 laps of the circuit equals 1000 kilometres.
KTM 660 Rallye: Factory KTM rider Andy Caldecott raced to victory in 25 hours, 04 minutes and 41 seconds aboard his 660 Rallye for an overall win.
One man has won the race an awe-inspiring nine times and that is Australian touring car legend, Peter Brock, who has a long history with Holden, the Australian affiliate of General Motors.
The charismatic Brock retired from touring car racing in 1997 and then took up cross-country rallying, also with Holden, which is why he was one of 69 competitors (37 Moto; 32 Auto) converging on Bathurst in late August this year for the first-ever running of the Australian Safari in New South Wales. While the inland city, three hours' drive west of the NSW capital of Sydney, is blasé about motorsport invasions, it is never immune to 'Brocky' (#05) and it is fair to say that the Safari has never had so much spectator interest as it did this year.
It's also fair to say that the organisers - giant sports and event marketing group, Octagon - were mindful of spectator enthusiasm as well as the interests of sponsors and competitors when they decided to move the event out of the Northern Territory. The remote location of the previous events meant a commitment of around two weeks for anyone involved, huge expense for competitors and limited TV exposure because of the difficulty of getting vision out of the area, none of it conducive to encouraging the numbers the event needed to survive. And so to Bathurst.
The Safari is eight days of competition but the race itself starts the day before with a Prologue to determine starting order. The one-mile course would be tackled by all the bike riders and 'car' entrants to decide who would be first out on the first day of the 3000-mile rally.
While the Safari is a stand-alone event on the Australian motorsport calendar, it also served this year as a round of the FIM's international cross-country rallies World Cup which ensured a solid entry list from overseas as well as local riders more familiar with the variety of conditions that the Australian 'bush' can toss at the unwary.
There were plenty of favourites in the Moto division. Entrants this year included 2002 Paris-Dakar runner up Alfie Cox (#4) of South Africa, America's Casey McCoy (#3) who has had podium finishes in the events of recent years, and local stars Stephen Greenfield (#2), Andy Haydon (#7) and Andy Caldecott (#1).
Cox, Haydon and Caldecott were riding factory-backed KTM machines while Greenfield had backing from Honda. Cox emerged as the fastest of the 37 bike riders, earning the right to start first on day one of the event, a 300-mile leg from Bathurst, further west to Condobolin. Caldecott, who has won the event the last two years, came home sixth fastest.
KTM Rallye Replica: Coming in for a fourth in the motorcycle division, PG Lundmark clears a corner before the scenic Australian Outback.
There was an upset of equal proportions in the Auto division. Four-time champion Bruce Garland (Holden Jackaroo/Isuzi Trooper - #50)) was third fastest behind fellow Safari regulars Andy Brown (Holden Frontera) and Colin Hunter (Jeep Wrangler).
Garland blamed a last-minute engine change for his lack of pace. The champ was not able to run his usual 'tweaked' special due to a controversial change in fuel rules but, as he was quick to point out, the race is not won on the first day.
'Brocky' was not present to contest the Prologue, leaving that duty to his navigator, well-known Australian motoring and motorsport journalist Wayne Webster who has extensive circuit and rally driving experience in his own right.
Brock had committed the Saturday night to a 'Legends of Motorsport' kart race in the northern coastal city of Darwin - and suffered his worst-ever racing accident during the event, which left him with severe back pain. He was to battle that pain the entire week of the Safari, the rough and gruelling desert racing conditions hardly what his doctor would have ordered in the interests of resting such an injury.
Day One: Bathurst to Condobolin - 300 miles
Day One dawned with a typically Central Western NSW clear blue sky as several thousand Bathurst locals flocked to the famous circuit to watch 'Brocky' lead the field around the track and out of town to the starting point of competition.
While the full day was a 300-mile trek, competition was limited to around 100 miles in two against-the-clock stages. At the end of play, everyone was surprised but pleased to see the obviously suffering Brock in third place behind highly experienced desert campaigner John Hederics (Nissan Patrol - #54) who has won the event six times on bikes, and Steve Riley (Mitsubishi Montero - #61), another convert from the two-wheel brigade. Brock's team leader, Bruce Garland, was fourth, slowed by two punctures.
Honda XR650: Casey McCoy blasted into position in his Red Machine for a fifth in the motorcycle division.
However, the excitement about Brock's result was to be shortlived. When all times were tallied, it was discovered that the 'legend' and his co-driver had inadvertently failed to complete one of the two stages. They were penalised 17 minutes which pushed them back down the order to 11th for the start of Day Two.
In the Moto division, Condobolin local Paul Sinderberry (#6) had caused an upset, winning the day against the powerful KTM crew. His privateer Honda XR650 gave him a lead of just over a minute against defending champion Andy Caldecott (KTM 660 Rallye) but he denied that local knowledge had been much help.
The maps were a major headache for Alfie Cox, who finished in eighth spot after starting the day as first bike out. He was having trouble making the change in navigational tools, having used a Global Positioning System to take him to the podium in the Paris-Dakar.
Day Two: Condobolin to Griffith, 350 miles
John Hederics had started the 2002 Safari, hoping to become the first competitor to win the event on both four wheels and two. He seemed on track until just three miles short of the end of the second day when he crashed into trees.
The incident damaged both rear wheels and the differential of his Nissan Patrol. He and co-driver Kees Weel made some hasty repairs which allowed them to finish the day but the delay relegated them to ninth.
"I'm really disappointed because apart from a puncture I'd been having a good run until this happened. I was following a bike in the dust when I clipped a tree, spun around and slammed into another tree. It tore the back out of the car. It is going to be hard to win from here but I haven't given up because everyone else is bound to have a bad day too and we've had ours!" Hederics said, with a laugh.
Isuzu Trooper: Bruce Garland drove his Izuzu Trooper to a first overall in the four-wheel vehicle division in 27 hours, 36 minutes, and 33 seconds.
As is so common in motorsport, one man's misfortune is another's gain and it was four-time Safari champion Bruce Garland who benefitted from the Hederics crash. He moved up from fourth to first while Steve Riley (Mitsubishi Montero) moved to second.
"It's incredibly dusty because they're having such a bad drought out here, so we drove conservatively and concentrated on getting our navigation spot-on and trying to keep making any mistakes to a minimum. You need to be very patient in these conditions," Garland said.
Aside from Hederics' incident, it was also a bad day for Colin Hunter who had posted second fastest time in the Prologue. Radiator problems were his headache.
In the Moto division, defending champion Andy Caldecott had grabbed the lead from Paul Sinderberry but not without drama. He admitted to pushing aggressively and crashed once in the process.
"I went out hard to try to catch Paul in the first section and I made some mistakes. But you do have to take some risks. I had one 'get-off' when I clipped a stump and it threw me down. Apart from a sore elbow, there is no damage."
Caldecott's teammates Andy Haydon and Alfie Cox (both on KTM 660 Rallyes) finished the day in third and fourth, while Casey McCoy rounded out the top five on his Honda XR650.
Nissan Frontera: Andy Brown piloted his Holden-built Nissan Frontera to a fifth in class in 29:05:33.
Day Three: Griffith to Wentworth, 600 miles
While the competition continued to be tough on one of the longer days of the event, it was action in the air rather than on the ground that made headlines during this section.
Four people, including the Safari's clerk of course, Bob Carpenter, were lucky to escape injury after the event helicopter crashed. The official Jet-Ranger was badly damaged after making contact with a tree while it was hovering about 15m off the ground. Also in the chopper were the pilot, the event's medical officer and a TV cameraman who was filming some of the chase below.
"The back rotor hit the tree and it chopped off the tail boom," Carpenter said later.
"Then we went sideways and swung round and that's when the main rotor hit the tree. We were riding sideways to the ground and somehow Peter (the pilot) managed to straighten it up and luckily for us it landed on its skids. The whole thing was over in less than 10 seconds but it seemed a whole lot longer."
Despite safety regulations requiring a chopper in the air for the entire duration of the event, there has never been a problem for Safari organisers in all the years since the event began in 1985. Immediately after the accident, officials were able to locate another chopper and the lucky foursome resumed their travels, the whole incident delaying the event for only 20 minutes.
Meanwhile defending champions Bruce Garland (Auto) and Andy Caldecott (Moto) retained their respective leads. Garland extended his lead to nearly 15 minutes over second-placed Steve Riley (Mitsubishi Montero) but Caldecott's buffer over Paul Sinderberry was only just over a minute.
Nissan Patrol: John Hederics grabbed a fourth in class in his Nissan Patrol in 28:09:30.
By this stage, America's Casey McCoy had moved through the field to sixth place and was hoping he could improve on his previous best result in the event which was third in 2000.
"This year's course is quite different to what I experienced in the Northern Territory in previous years. It's a fun mix though, lots of tight stuff as well as some fast, high-speed corners," said McCoy.
"There seems to be more emphasis on navigation this year and I've had to go back and find my way a couple of times. The tighter sections are probably best for me. I'm playing a bit of a waiting game because it's a classy field and some guys may start to push over the limit as we go on."
Australian touring car legend Peter Brock was sitting in 12th place, nearly an hour behind his teammate Garland. He admitted to still suffering a lot of pain as a result of his go-kart accident earlier in the week but brushed aside suggestions that he could withdraw from the event.
Day Four: Wentworth to Broken Hill, 500 miles
Defending champions Bruce Garland and Andy Caldecott had a profitable day, both extending their leads over their closest rivals, Steve Riley and Andy Haydon respectively.
Mitsubishi Montero: Steve Riley was second minutes from clinching first overall in the four-wheel division, but instead had to settle for a respectable second, coming in at 27:52:30.
Conditions changed yet again. This time the competitors found themselves in serious desert terrain with lots of tumbleweed being tossed in the light winds which did little to help settle the dust.
Some man-made drains on parts of the course had many vehicles airborne but no-one had any serious problems as a result except for Brock, who found his injured spine being knocked around beyond the point of comfort.
"My biggest problem is going over the rough stuff, so I'm driving more conservatively than normal," Brock said. "Having said that, though, we're still leading the showroom class and that's what we're here for so it's all good news."
Day Five: Broken Hill to White Cliffs, 450 miles
Crash, bang, wallop would be the three words that best described this section. While Garland managed to maintain his lead despite rolling his factory-backed Jackaroo, former Moto division winners Andy Haydon and Stephen Greenfield were forced to withdraw after both were injured in crashes.
In a testament to rallying camaraderie, Garland was able to continue thanks to the generosity of fellow competitor, John Hederics, who used his Nissan Patrol to pull Garland's car back on its wheels.
Toyota Series RV: Peter Glennie drove his Toyota to third in the four-wheel division in 28:02:38.
"I lost time today but it could have been so much worse if John hadn't stopped to help. If not for the bad luck he suffered earlier in the event, it would have been him in the lead, so I'm very grateful for his help.
"The roll-over happened when I missed a call around a dam and came up to a corner too quickly. I stopped on the edge of the cliff into a dry creek bed and then the bank collapsed and the Jackaroo rolled over."
In the Moto division, Andy Caldecott retained his lead with early leader Paul Sinderberry again making up some ground as well as benefitting from Andy Haydon's crash.
Haydon, who won the event in 1997, injured his knee in a spectacular crash while dicing with Caldecott. He continued for a while but was eventually forced to withdraw because of the pain.
"Andy had just passed me so I saw everything from behind," said Caldecott.
KTM Pits: The Orange Team had their work cut out for them, working long into the night after each leg to come up with an overall victory.
"The bike went sideways on a bump and then it dug in and pitched him over the handlebars. We've reached the point where people are trying hard to win so the pressure was on.
"It's disappointing to see a couple of the top guys get hurt and for sure I'm now changing my tactics. I've got nothing to gain by pushing too hard but I've also got to stay competitive and consistent to keep the lead. It's a fine balancing act from now on, that's for sure."
Greenfield was taken to hospital by ambulance after breaking his ankle in the first stage of the day. There were also several withdrawals by car crews after mechanical problems.
Day Six: White Cliffs to Cobar, 600 miles
For defending champions Garland and Caldecott, this was to be a day of hastening slowly. Both know how easy it is to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and both had a lot to lose.
Tire Trouble: Tires took a brutal beating in the harsh Australian Outback.
Caldecott admitted feeling a little pressure because second-placed Paul Sinderberry had reduced the gap between them, but said his aim was simply to keep things steady.
"Losing a few minutes here or there isn't going to make that big a difference so there's no point in taking unnecessary risks that could bring me undone."
Behind them a veritable United Nations of competitors: South Africa's Alfie Cox, Sweden's PG Lundmark and America's Casey McCoy, also doing their best to keep things tidy.
Day Seven: Cobar to Dubbo, 450 miles
Cotton farmer Peter Glennie was trying to keep his excitement under control. For the first time since he made his Safari debut in 1988, he was on target for a podium finish. His previous best results were fourth in 1990 and the same again in 1995.
Glennie conceded he had no chance of ousting either Garland or second-place-sitter, Steve Riley, but was not concerned.
"I've been doing the Safari for more years than I care to remember and to get to the podium would be enormously satisfying. My Toyota was built in 1995 so it's older than the cars up the front. I also do most of the preparation and maintenance myself, so being this close is great."
For Riley, the day was frustration itself. He was actually nearly two minutes faster than Garland overall but admitted he had little chance of changing places with the champ.
In the Moto division, it was another day of maintaining positions, with the top three - Caldecott, Sinderberry and Cox - unchanged, although Cox had a minor crash while challenging for second.
Sunk: Water became big trouble for a number of teams, particularly for this motorcycle team whose bike was submerged.
At the end of eight days, the result was just as last year's champions would have wished: Garland took out the Auto division yet again, a record fifth victory with four - including this year - in succession.
For Caldecott, it was a third successive win and, he said, the most satisfying because of the quality of the field. Garland agreed. Brock finished 11th outright and first in class.
A field of 32 cars and 37 bikes started the Safari. At the end of Day Eight, there were 23 cars and 29 bikes to take the chequered flag.

More than a decade ago, I worked the summer between my graduation from college and my mission at an LDS girls' camp. Every week we had a guest speaker or fireside, and I believe it was at one of them that the girls were invited to share something about their dreams/goals/life plans with the room at large. I still remember the twelve-year-old who announced with great assurance that when she grew up, she was going to "help abused children." (This was at the fever pitch of abuse trendiness, which seems somewhat in decline these days, although sadly, abuse itself likely isn't.) Years later, I thought about her again when my husband remarked to me, in exasperation at some of his female colleagues' propensity for excessive entanglement with their clients, that there ought to be a diagnosis (Axis II?) for "desire to become a psychologist."
What is it about the "help" some proffer that makes me force a noncommital smile over my grit teeth and run for cover? I love that line from The Screwtape Letters: "She lives for others–you can always tell the others by their hunted expression." Although I don't truck with Lewis's misogyny, sadly, I think he got the gender right on this one. In general, women do seem more attuned to the feelings of others than men do (although I'd be the first to say there are many exceptions). We're taught, rightly, that selfishness is a sin, service a virtue, and I should emphasize here that I think the vast majority of service offered is both humble and sincere. But there are also some devastating forms of service that seem particularly likely to manifest in religious contexts, the forms that made "charity" such a hideous word in nineteenth-century novels and to this day in certain contexts.
It's difficult to put my finger on what I mistrust in some offers of help. In some cases it's the sense that the offerer associates with me only out of duty (Visiting Teaching syndrome), and in others I think it's a subtle sense of superiority, sometimes martyred superiority, in which the person "serves" to fulfill some need in herself. Helping others can be very gratifying, in all the best ways, and in all the worst. It can fill us with the Spirit, with compassion, with the grace of Christ, and it can exercise a humane broadening on our vision. And it can fill us with self-satisfaction and self-righteousness if we gaze into the eyes of the poor or the suffering only to see our own saintly reflection. It can also allow us to avoid confronting the contradictions of our own lives by focusing instead on the far more comfortable shortcomings of others. I should know; there have been situations in my life in which I have assumed the helping role to avoid taking a hard look inward.
The hallmark of service I trust is humility and reciprocity. I trust people who want to teach me if they are willing to learn from me; I trust people who want to answer my questions if they are willing to allow me to question their answers. And–I think this is particularly vital–I trust people who want to serve me if they're also willing to allow me to serve them. Christ is our only Savior; no other person or thing or program or institution or human act, however well meant, can save. I deeply mistrust the motives of people, both in and out of the church, who want to save me themselves.
A few years ago, there was a cartoon in the New Yorker featuring a carcass in the desert, and one observer saying to another of specks in the distance "Could be vultures. Could be grief counselors."
Service shouldn't make us into vultures.
