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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
