Well it looks like it wasn't as bad as predicted, The cyclone came ashore just sth of Cairns, Mission bay and Tully took the brunt of it, These are small towns and most of the houses there have been badly damaged, No reports of deaths or injuries,

95% of the aussie banana crop is gone so we can expect to be paying triple the cost for them, But if that is as bad as we can expect then we can count ourselves lucky.

We had storm surge in Townsville and wave heights were measured at 18mtrs high, you could hear all the surfies up and down the coast with thier catch cry "surfs up"
Let's hope for the best... stay safe!

Really talking about both, but Egypt seems to be the only one on the news. Australia you have to go on the net for.
wasn't some time around 2005 that Bin Laden and Zawahiri were proclaiming that waging war against the USA was the only way to topple totalitarian regimes like Mubaraks?
"We have to attack the far enemy to defeat the near enemy?" or something along those lines.....
Who is winning this war?

BTW, Bin Laden considered Mubarak to be the main thing preventing Muslims from uniting to attack Israel... the next Caliphate so to speak...

I wonder how the King is feeling in Jordan, right now, I imagine he's a little sweaty under the collar...

look at the feedback he leaves for other sellers...... odds are every seller he leaves a positive review for is an alias he's using to promote more scams...
most of the positive feedbacks on his account are probably from himself made under aliases.

I am planing to buy this lens.
Gerri prefers zooms for candids, and I am more the prime lens studio shooter, so a wr zoom with high quality is definately on the "Must have" list and it seems this is a good value.

I have dyscalculia.

sit me in room with no visual points of reference, and I will be unable to tell you if I've been there for five minutes, fifty minutes of five hours.
That is amazing .... I had no idea that was one of the effects.

That is ok.
Our preferred method of telling time involves count to sixty and repeat. It is wrong. I believe fluid dynamics is a more accurate way to describe time. We all know the universe is expanding... We all know that the closer an object travels to the speed of light, the slower time goes, so it stands to reason that the rate of the expansion of the universe is not constant, then neither is the flow of time. Even the rotation of the Earth (as it slows) will change time relative to our position.

My motorcycle will smoke it on the quarter and it likely won't catch me until I top out at 250 km's/hr.
by then we'll likely be arrested or run out of road anyways.
