Thanks Grimesy. Looks like this is one disaster area that Presidents and PMs don't visit. I wonder how many plagues or serious diseases have emanated from rodents (albeit that bats are flying rodents) > black plague, hendra, ebola....???

Help Buying First Skyline R33 Gtr (S3?)

Magnificent gold colour ay! But it must have looked more yellow the more often you checked it Dan, I guess this thread lives on as you investigate the next one! Wishing you the best! -
The infected person would already be dead after such a long trip to Oz without treatment, but can you imagine a quarantined plane at a far corner of an airport? Some passengers will probably disobey orders and set off exit chutes after seeing blood coming out of an Ebola infected person's ears/nose/bowels/mouth!!!

Ebola virus has crossed into Nigeria, in fact Lagos. Borders of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea are already at risk of closing down. Bit hard to say without being alarmist if infected persons would try to make it out by plane. They'd get sick quick at the airport most likely > organ failure.

At speed... 1) If front splitter and connecting undertray are flat with negligible air disturbance > negative pressure under front of the car > front 'sticks' to the tarmac. 2) If the rear wing is set up to create downforce > rear 'sticks' to the tarmac. 1) + 2) > all's good

Why Is It Harder To Accept A Mental Health Issue Than A Physical One?
GTR-N1 replied to PranK's topic in Mental health
Shall take that on board thanks Christian! Genelle talked about her pet dogs. Ever considered how these beloveds fill 2 a-e) above??? They listen and reflect. They can absorb emotion and spit out logic like, "It's ok. We'll get through this." They can be trusted. They don't gossip. And they have such a strong affinity that they take their problems to the one who they imprint on. Ever thought that when we go out to choose a dog, (even a bird or perhaps a Burmese cat), they choose you just as much as you choose him(her)? I find that riveting! -

Salient warnings indeed. 'Tis also relevant to now categorise the channels through which we can/have all offload/ed muck that has precipitated trauma, anxiety, depression, guilt, bewilderment, withdrawal and anguish. 1) Personal eg diary 2) Social a) a person who can listen/reflect b) a person who can absorb emotion and feed back logic c) a person who can be trusted (and won't put your info in a dirt file) d) a person who doesn't gossip e) a person who has such an affinity with you that he/she finds it easy to confide in you too 3) Professional as per 2 posts above 4) Spiritual eg God through prayer, local priest So there are choices. -

Before I get into nitty-gritty, perhaps it can be of assistance to outline what practitioners are out there... when one needs to diagnose &/or talk. * Psychiatrist - Medical degree + post grad. qualifications > Counsels and diagnoses and prescribes diets and drugs. Very few indeed (eg Dr Chris Reading who wrote a book on the genetics of Bipolar) can recall their biochemistry from 2nd yr Med and apply it to the patient's situation across the desk, Therapies, Monitors. Medicare * Psychologist - B.A. (Psych) or B.Sc. (Psych) + post grad. qualifications + Member of the PS (Aust) > Counsels, Psychological Temperament Testing, Psychometric Testing, Neuropsych. Testing, Intelligence Testing, Diagnoses, Therapies. Health Funds or Quota of Sessions via Dr * Psychopharmacologist - Psychomedical degree + post grad. qualifications > Counsels, Diagnoses what brain neurotransmitter imbalances exist through genetics, drugs, allergies and sensitivities, Tests involve quasi-psych tests, Usage of nutrients, abstensions and diets, Therapies Medicare or selected Health Funds * Endocrinologist - Medical degree + post grad. qualifications > Determines how sex hormones and prostaglandins can get out of balance and affect behaviour Medicare * Counsellor - Any qualification from TAFE or Uni that is Psych related + Member of the ACA > Counsels selected Health Funds * Hypnotherapist - Any qualification from a college or post grad from Macquarie Uni + Member of the ASCH or AHA > Counsels, Hypnosis therapy for disorders eg smoking, eating, fears, sleep, anxiety/depression (reactive type only) selected Health Funds * Psychotherapist - Any qualification that is Psych related, but not necessarily a member of any professional group > Counsels no rebate * Acupuncturist - Traditional Chinese Acupuncture qualifications where pulse tests can be administered (not symptom based) + Member of the AAA > Hormone imbalance therapy - more of a sexual hormone nature rather than brain hormone nature selected Health Funds * Herbalist/Naturopath - N.D. qualification from a college + Member of the ATMS > Diets, Herbs (eg Passiflora, St Johns Wort, Valerian, Withania), abstensions selected Health Funds * Personal Trainer - I'm not sure of what qualifications they have (so this line may be edited with your assistance) > Activity and Exercise based regimes to temporarily lift brain neurotransmitters or endorphins selected Health Funds -

To-day's the last day that you can take advantage of the Adaptronic offer. And we at SAU, appreciated that offer given to us. Wide-band AFR Kit can be most useful! Adam tutored us really well on what it can do! -
Just sold wife's E39 530i Highline 3 weeks ago on carsales. Had 3 buyers vying for it, so they're out there. All the best. Great handling car. One of the best BMW has made.

RTA farks things up. They've got my BNR34 N1 down as 2011. It's been exempt from pink slip/roadworthy so far... -

Has the base of the seat belt got a date-tag sewn into it. That can be a guide. VIN will be exact though of course. -

I work at Earlwood (near Haberfield) on Fri. If I have time I can have a squizz and crosscheck the VIN. -

It can take 10 yrs to earn trust; and 10 mins to lose it. In the case of 'PAC man' they've been in business for 2 yrs. -
Why Is It Harder To Accept A Mental Health Issue Than A Physical One?
GTR-N1 replied to PranK's topic in Mental health
Tangibility is made worse when there's no blood test, urine test or scan that can pick up brain neurotransmitter probs. A couple of best-fit tests will come up shortly though if it helps. Based on quasi-psych tests, admissible in court... -
Why Is It Harder To Accept A Mental Health Issue Than A Physical One?
GTR-N1 replied to PranK's topic in Mental health
It's been easier for guys especially to talk around relevant issues 'to keep the peace' so to speak than to confront them. In the car racing scene, John Bowe will certainly attest to the fact that letting go of what ails you is an advantage towards coping better - even though it takes courage to do it. A breakdown of how one can semi-self-diagnose will pop up soon if that helps. -
