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.

:yes: STACEY D

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.

Then while everything was off changed out the water heater control block and the heater supply hoses to silicon on both sides. While attaching said hoses to the plastic hose fitting that goes through the firewall to the heater core they crumbled due to age. Got new heater core supply pipes, de gassed the air con took out the glove box pulled out air-conditioning fan unit and took out the heater core went to change out the busted pipes and went nope ! Went and got a brand new heater core, attached the heater core pipes, put the air con fan unit back in, re attached the new silicon heater hose, put the air conditioner fan unit back in got it regased annnnnnnnnd Bob's your uncle ! 5 minute job really ! AND I AINT DOIN THAT SH*T AGAIN ! ! 
    • just under 600rwkw , 1650cc,  pump e85 ~80% duty   Your 1200s won't make it safely
    • What’s the labour like on it? And how much better is it than the stock one? Guessing a lot stronger.    I would be shipping from Japan to Hong Kong so not that bad… 
    • It is the entire transmission BUT you must swap in your old transfer case. There is no transfer case on the back of it. Comes with throwout bearing for the OEM pull clutch and Super Coppermix Twin pull clutch, new clutch fork, pivot, cotter pin, washer, and clutch fork boot as well. Keep in mind shipping is killer for such a giant piece of metal. I got mine from Trust Kikaku USA which shipped a container full of them to Long Beach and I had to pick it up from their warehouse.
