Yeah, but it's basically redoing what I did in Yr 12... so quite easy, except when all year you have never forgotten the +C and when it comes down to the exam you miss it  

Haha yeah, like checking the nature of the curve in optimisation, i never bothered so I forgot

Lol yeah, clearly it's going to be the max or min because you said so, why bother with bloody sign diagrams, etc.

I know! If you get more than 1 answer that's at least 4 times you have to sub it in to the differential, effort!!

Entry and Exit Requirements

Visa conditions change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Iraq for the most up-to-date information.

You may experience difficulties entering countries in the Middle East if your passport contains evidence of travel to Israel, such as visas or entry and exit stamps.

I'm on smarttraveller.gov.au. Wow that's interesting, so if you go to Israel you can't get in to the middle east :O Recognise it already!!

We are so lucky to be living in Australia from the countries I've been looking at.

You all know my son is married to a Chinese girl. On his first trip Hong Kong/China he was in a city on the mainland. Hardly having had a moment alone, he took the opportunity to go out when she was napping. He was talking on his mobile phone when set upon by more than 4 police men who bashed my son into submission with their truncheons. He lay still, on the ground until they finished. Two weeks later when they returned to Australia, I could see clearly the bruises on the back of his legs.
Apparently Westerner+mobile phone+phone with camera capabilities= potential terrorist!
Be very very careful when travelling OS. Australia is a very liberal country and we have become used to that freedom.

I was out with my best friend Shelley the other day and we found a $2 shop in our travels. We were browsing and picking up niknaks when I found…… my orange cat MUG. Yay!!! It was the last one there and I got it…. Exactly like my old one that cracked and died a couple of weeks ago. Now the dilemma of what to drink out of is solved. Soooooooo happy.
This week I signed up to 2 websites for a one off payment of $4.95 each. It was so I could get the oldest versions of the golf game 'Links' 386 and 2000. I found them on these websites but could not get them unless I paid the fabulous "ONE OFF PAYMENT OF $4.95 US" That amount came out of my account immediately (exchange rate and bank fees for foreign exchange included). Imagine my absolute horror when after bank hours last night I discovered more money had been taken out by these two crooked websites. 4 transactions adding up to $132.+   I could hardly sleep last night but rang NAB this morning. Speaking with the guy I was so distressed I cried. He told me not to stress because I can begin fraud charges against the companies through the NAB beginning first thing monday. He stopped my card (a Visa savings debit card) but I think the damage has been done. I am very upset inside because that was/is my money to live off. So be warned people/friends and forum members. I have printed evidence of their $4.95 one off payment pages, documented my bank transactions and the emails I sent one company because even though I had paid the $4.95 I still could not access their website. Nice trick.  

Oh no Suzi. I know that sort of thing happens but its a bummer. Thats stealing. Was it a secure site? Your bank sounds like a nice one though and on to the fix quick. Some sites now have added security of referring back to your bank and you have to give special number to allow them to take out the amount. You may get compensation from your credit card/debit card company????

I will be reimbursed by the bank, eventually! I have fired off a couple more emails to the 'rotten' companies although it seems they are connected somehow. I have been doing transactions via the net for over 8 years makes me wary to do more now. So disappointing!

In the future, never send money to companies unless they've actually MADE the game that you're after (or if you're certain that they have the authorisation to distribute the game). I'm always looking for old games and I avoid pay-sites like the plague because I know that they're pirates/scammers. Why should I pay a cent to a company if my money's not going towards the company responsible for the game? *shakes head*

I hope you can be reimbursed of every last cent (and then some) that these bastardly crims have stolen from you. If you PM/e-mail me with what you're after, I'll make every effort to find your games online when I return to Australia (if you haven't found them already).

Ah Suzi that is so bad!   @ the site! Hopefully your bank can get the money back etc. What site was it? I'd like to check it out.

You poor thing. Many of my high school assignments were sourced from Wikipedia. Now I just look back and laugh at how stupid I'd been. I knew even then that Wikipedia was full of crap that it didn't stop me from using it. :$

These days I only use journal articles and the like for my essays. ^ - ^

The good thing about google books is that if you are required to use books as sources you can still do it on the internet!!

Now.. does anyone know of any ancient historians that wrote on Akhenaten? I actually can't find any :Z

I looked too punkin' and I can't find any except for how they refer to Moses and John from the Bible speaking their opinions of Akhenaten. I love Egyptian history.
