Kylie and Belinda two stories, one message

IT IS an unhappy coincidence that on the same day one of Australia's most beloved daughters made a triumphant return to the stage after breast cancer, another sadly succumbed to it. Kylie Minogue last night lit up the Sydney Entertainment Centre with her Showgirl Homecoming tour, 18 months after being diagnosed with the disease and cancelling her Australian shows to have immediate treatment.

In the same city, earlier that day, popular actress Belinda Emmett died in hospital after battling cancer for many years. She was 32. Emmett was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998 when she was just 23, undergoing surgery and radiotherapy to combat it. But three years after defeating the disease, she was diagnosed with secondary cancer in her bones, and this time doctors told her it would end her life.

Minogue and Emmett have inspired many with the courage and openness with which they dealt with their illnesses, and their experiences have raised awareness of breast cancer and encouraged many women to have themselves checked for the disease.

Their respective stories also emphasise the importance of early detection and treatment. While Minogue had treatment as soon as a lump was found in her breast, Emmett has said that she had first noticed the lump in her breast when she was 21, but did not tell anyone or seek treatment until much later, losing crucial treatment time.

Although the survival rate for breast cancer has improved markedly in recent years, it remains the most common cancer in Australian women, and few people will go through their lives without knowing someone who has had the disease.

It is to be hoped that while researchers continue to work towards better prevention and treatment of all forms of cancer, Minogue and Emmett's stories will continue to raise awareness of cancer, inspiring people to have any lumps or changes in their bodies checked out immediately, and give themselves the best chance of beating the disease.

THANKS GUYS for all the bids on the bra. Great effort.

Seeing as how this bra won't fit my man-boobs - and I can't see my wife wearing it,

I will donate the $250-00 (someone pm me and let me know the details of where to send the money).

The bra is now up for auction again. :happy:

Who will start the bidding this time around.

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!
