At ~$700 for a brand new piece of plastic for my Nissan Patrol/Safari electric mirror (OEM price) to stop it shaking around, I figure I can pay for it pretty quickly in savings. For those connectors on your older car which can only be gotten from the original manufacturer, a bit of time mucking around with a 3d CAD system could save a car restorer a fortune.
Unless you happen to live downstream of the first house on the murray-darling system as then your water is recycled thorugh every damn house/town on that system. It also explains Adelaide, and their water.
Sorry to disappoint you, we actually use single piece cotton overalls treated with flame retardent or a two piece trousers and top set (with fetching red braces) made of cotton treated with flame retardent. They are quite effective but I still wear a pair of jeans and a cotton shirt underneath as it improves the heat insulation. I also tend to try and get onto night shift so I can fight the actual fire as it is quite often too dicey during the day to do any direct attack. I have been know to wear a woolen jumper and singlet as well. This is after freezing one night at a fire where the temperature dropped to minus 1 celcius in the higher mountains.
Considering there are a lot of vacancies for teachers with Math backgrounds in Australian schools it may be an option for his missus and himself to consider. The administration BS is still fairly high in any teaching system as parents believe that if their little darlings are not the top of the class it must be the parents fault and you get all the PC garbage everywhere now. I hate the fact that if little johnny breaks his arm in the playgrounds it's almost as if the world has stopped turning. So many games and activities have been banned due to fear of lawyers.
and we network old-timers have never forgiven you AOL'ers for ruining our network.
Oh how I wish we could go back to the days where AOL'ers were subject to being banned for being to dumb to connect rather than thinking it is their right to have the internet.

In Australia we have free trade agreements with China, Thailand etc etc. The net effect has been Chinese and Thai companies buying our companies up. Closing them down. Shipping the machinery across to their country and restarting the manufacturing there and then sending the finished products back to Australia. As a result we have stuff all low paid jobs left in the major cities where the youth have nowhere to get basic work skills except as waiters and waitresses at the restaurants the execs dine in. In the meantime to make our economy work we dig up iron ore and ship it overseas in it's raw state to be turned into steel. We also dig up the coal to ship overseas to turn that iron ore into steel. We convert gas into liquid to ship overseas to power the factories which send us the goods made with our old machinery. The ships that run overseas in some cases used to be Australian ships which we sold overseas to be reflagged in Panama etc to ship the same goods with foreign crews and less stringent safety.Because we have no pathways for the younger generations to learn trades we instead import people (many of them from those same foreign countries) to do the work on our mines in the semi-skilled and skilled areas. Occasionally we allow areas of our country (Gorgon gas fields) to be classed as 'offshore' so that the companies doing the work there don't have to employ Australian residents/visa holders or even pay Australian wages.
You could probably point to many examples in England, Ireland, Europe etc etc. Any so called industrialised nation is in the process of busily de-industrialising at the behest of some sort of theoretical belief by bunches of economists who have never lived in the real world. Free Trade does not exists except in the deluded depths of economists minds and as such what countries should be looking at is how best to maximise trade while minimising the HARM it does to their own people.
The complexity got reintroduced due to more laws and special purpose deductions. They started appearing in the legislation in about 1996 and kept appearing more an more each election thereafter. Interesting enough as a result of the review into the Taxation system it is likely (unless Big Business lobbies it out of existence) to follow the Scandinavian route of pre-filled simple returns AND simplify the system somewhat by removing some deductions. How many deductions get removed will depend on the previously mentioned Big Business lobby groups. It is seriously not in their interest to advocate the lessening of deductions as thats how they avoid paying the tax they should in the first place. Personally I would not shed a tear to see negative gearing disappear as well as FBT exemptions for motor vehicles and the CGT discount among other bits of the tax system that distort the system.
the number of articles being spewed out on how this same generation is ready and able to take over the running of the corporations and countries before they have even turned thirty. Since all the articles tend to be written by the baby boomer generation (who in their eyes are infallible) I await the results of all their predictions and their tendencies to mollycoddle their children and it's effects with interest.
Interesting - In Australia it is the opposite - Party Members need not apply & those who are active in the community politically while not being a party member need not apply either. Strict impartiality is the expectation inside the polling booth and within the designated polling precinct.

Considering New Zealand is mentioned in the Australian Constitution as a Colony which allows us to point out the the South Africans and English that Australia and it's colonies has 3 World Cups to their one each means that New Zealand cannot be considered a seprate country to Australia. We just like to pretend it is to save us from embarresment about their Welsh and Scottish inherited sheep shagging tendencies.
As a current Telstra customer^h^h^h^h^h^h^hsucker I have found out they are measured on how many faults they attend and sign off as being fixed. Not on how well they are fixed. They have also had all the equipment to install ADSL1 into the local exchange sitting in the local exchange since November last year. I'd much rather they were forced to install that rather than we have some wankerous proprietary WiFiMax system installed that won't even get out into the country area where I live(bit like the u-beaut mobile phone system). We can't even get them to give us a stable phone line that degrades over months rather than days.

Patenting in Australia is based on first to file. As a consequence the method will not be revealed until the patent is filed. After that the use of the Australian Patent as precedent allows equal patents to be applied for in the other Jurisdictions. Note IANAL but you can look at http://www.ipaustralia.gov.au/ for a more in depth explanation.
I waws actually referring to one that occured in North East Vicrotia, Australia. I think our fires are exacerbated by the droughts we get as well as the volatile understory as well as the eucalypt trees. For those that are interested the following link show the current fires in Victoria Austrlaia. http://www.nre.vic.gov.au/fires/updates/report/ind ex2.htm?time=Sun,%2019%20Nov%202006%2016:42:49%20G MT+1100 .

Its also interesting that flash over may not be confined to restricted sapces like rooms. I have heard of similar effects occuring in the late 1960's in a very hot eucalypt fire. The gases boiling out from the eucalypt fire were trapped by an air inversion until eventualy the whole valley ignited and erupted in a ball of flame.
If you read the context, the newspaper (The Australian) are claiming to have "sighted" (as in, seen) the report. They are not claiming to have referenced it. It happens to be common use for Australian journalists to advise when they have sighted a report rather than write an article based on heresay.
Or are we going to continue with the bully boy tactics against both North Korea and Iran? Threatening sanctions will have bugger all effect on either country. Funny about that, when you don't have anything a country wants it is very hard to bully them. If you do have something they want (eg food) but you impose a long list of conditions that are impossible for them to meet and still maintain face, you shoot yourself in the foot. How much easier would it be to open both nations up using trade and to ensure that their citizens become a vibrant middle class who no longer want to lose their lives for their leader(s). Oh, I forgot, that might eat a tinsy little bit into the corporate profits, too bad for the rest of the world.
They used the gravity fluctuations to identify the anomoly and then used airborne radar data to define the extent. I would hazard a guess that radar wasn't the only set of electronices that airborne survey was doing and that it would have included high res gravity and magnetics as well
