Swiss newspaper Le Matin Dimanche reports that Hogan's millions have been in a Swiss bank run by the Geneva firm Strachans for almost 20 years, according to a report published in the Sydney Morning Herald. But he cannot get his hands on it. In court documents filed in California District Court, Egglishaw -- who is a partner at Strachans -- is accused of having "absconded with or spent all" of Hogan's millions. The company is linked to the biggest tax evasion scheme in Australia. Clients of Strachans first came under scrutiny back in 2005 when the Australian Taxation Office launched an investigation into offshore tax fraud, according to The Australian. There is currently an international warrant out for Egglishaw's arrest. His partner is currently serving two and a half years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to defraud the Australian government. Hogan has had his own issues to deal with. The "Crocodile Dundee" star owed more than $150 million in taxes and penalties to the Australian government, Forbes previously noted. The government held him in the country in 2010 until he could pay off the debt. Hogan denied the allegations against him. Last year, he and his manager reached a settlement with tax authorities. The case against Egglishaw will not proceed in U.S. District Court because there is not enough evidence connecting it to California. The 73-year-old Hogan rose to fame back in 1986 with the first "Crocodile Dundee" film, which cost $10 million to make but earned more than $325 million in the worldwide box office, according to Forbes. That was followed up by two sequels.

Haikus are fun, but sometimes they don't make sense Refrigerator.

Dang right. it'll frustrate you to no end trying to solve that one.

Take a look at the NEG batt cable. A bad NEG cable is a pisser toi diagnose. The post about checking your fuel pressure is also good.

Do More Gun Laws Mean Fewer Gun Deaths? Study says that seems to be the case, but at least one expert calls the research flawed March 6, 2013 RSS Feed Print WEDNESDAY, March 6 (HealthDay News) -- States with the strongest gun laws have fewer gun-related suicides and murders, a new study suggests. In the study, researchers analyzed U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics on deaths between 2007 and 2010. They also looked at five categories of gun laws in all 50 states to create a gun law "strength score" for each state. The highest possible score was 28. Over the four-year study period, there were more than 121,000 gun deaths in the United States. Average gun-related death rates ranged from a high of 17.9 per 100,000 people in Louisiana to a low of 2.9 per 100,000 in Hawaii. State gun law strength scores ranged from zero in Utah to 24 in Massachusetts. States with the highest gun law strength scores (nine or higher) had a lower overall gun-related death rate -- 6.4 fewer deaths per 100,000 -- than those with the lowest scores (two or lower). The study also found that states with the strongest gun laws had a lower rate of gun-related suicides (6.3 fewer deaths per 100,000) and a lower rate of gun-related deaths (0.4 fewer deaths per 100,000) than states with the weakest gun laws. The study was published online March 6 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. "In conclusion, we found an association between the legislative strength of a state's firearm laws -- as measured by a higher number of laws -- and a lower rate of firearm fatalities," Dr. Eric Fleegler, of Boston Children's Hospital, and colleagues said in a JAMA news release. "The association was significant for firearm fatalities overall and for firearm suicide and firearm homicide deaths, individually. As our study could not determine a cause-and-effect relationship, further studies are necessary to define the nature of this association." In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Garen Wintemute, of the University of California, Davis, said this would be an important study "if it were robust and if its meaning were clear." He said the study provides "no firm guidance." "Do the laws work or not? If so, which ones?" he said. "Should policymakers enact the entire package? Some part? Which part?" Wintemute called for improvements in the way research into gun violence is conducted, including better data and better data systems. "To prevent firearm violence, our research efforts must be substantial and sustained," he wrote. More than 30,000 people die each year in the United States from gun-related injuries. More information The American College of Emergency Physicians has more about gun-related deaths and injuries.

Looks like a zombie koala.

www.health.gov.au/tobacco The most recent national figures on tobacco prevalence from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare show that Australia has one of the lowest smoking rates in the world, with the daily smoking rate among Australians aged 14 years and over at 15.1 per cent in 2010. This rate has been steadily falling from 19.5% in 2001. This reduced rate has contributed to Australia achieving one of the highest average life expectancies of any country.

Coronary Heart Disease is the biggest killer, causing almost 74,000 deaths each year in the UK. That's about 200 people dying every day. More than a quarter of the deaths occur in people who are younger than 75 and experts say the majority are preventable. Smoking, being overweight and having high blood pressure are all risk factors. About one in three adults in England and Scotland have high blood pressure and nearly half of them are not receiving treatment for the condition, says the British Heart Foundation. Mr Hunt says all people between 40 and 74 should be offered a health check once every five years to look for things like high blood pressure. Between April 2011 and March 2012 only 2% of those eligible in England actually had a health check. Out of nearly 16 million people eligible, about 425,000 were offered a check and 211,000 took up the offer. Respiratory diseases The two main ones are asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). England has one of the highest rates of asthma prevalence in the world. Figures from GP registers in 2008 suggested that about 6% of the English population has asthma. And more than three million people in England are living with COPD. This lung disease kills about 23,000 people a year in the UK. The most important cause of COPD is smoking, but about 15% of cases are work-related, triggered by exposure to fumes, chemicals and dusts at work. Premature deaths from COPD in the UK was almost twice as high as the European average in 2008 and premature mortality for asthma was more than 1.5 times higher.

If some guy has to ask, then he probably won't understand your answer.

Talked with a buddy from Miami who knew Donna very well. She had a heart as big as the moon, he says. A real loss.

"I don't believe everyone has to hit rock bottom to recover which I believe is just another of the many lies from AA" Not a lie. The vast majority of junkies and drunks could not maintain their addictions unless there is an enabler. Remove the enabler, usually a loving, yet misguided or unaware family member, the addict hits rock bottom. Without the enabler, few can support their addictions. That's when the addict reaches out in desperation. When everything and everyone is gone. That some are able to begin recovery before they lose it all is fortunate for them. Again, usually due to the impact of a family member who is aware that enabling is so very destructive. Destructive to both the addict and the family. Saving the children from being maltreated, abused or exploited is of utmost importance. Very serious stuff this is. I'm glad it's not me or my family.

Sorry to say, but your sis is most likely a lost cause. Family should concentrate on saving her children. Junkies must hit bottom and then reach out themselves for help. Would hate to be in your shoes.

I guess reminding Christel about the summit meeting last month or so ago where the German government was again discussing the bailout of Greece is not meddling?

Nonsensical? Freedom of Speech? WTF are you talking about?[sly Redacting history seems to have been elevated to a Euro art form. Euro newspapers are full of reports of goofy crap daily about the war. Here, we see you trying to refight the war. No matter how many times Euro's try to bend history, you still lose.

Another mind reader with a "Christel" ball? Tell us more about your "down on the knees" experiences!! Somebody give Shah a heads up.

You're wasting your bandwidth. It's as if the truth and history never occurred. Kind of odd, actually, considering Europe's recent past, what with extermination and so forth.

Schatzi (?) The Boogeyman says "Hello". He will be in Berlin in August. He wants to know if you would be his putzfrau while he's there.

Figured that out all by yourself, did ya?

Damn....... You finally got something right. The phrase generally used is: Witch hunt.

Finally, you "get" something.

Pluuuuulll-eaze......! Can't you dream up anything to say of your own, big shot?

Thanks for your completely useless contribution to an otherwise interesting thread. No-one has suggested anything about restricting gun rights, in fact quite the opposite. Wait, let me write that in words you might understand: No one say guns bad. Only ask why not really big guns OK? To everyone else, thanks for the spirited discussion. Don Pulllease..... It's all about intellectual masturbation by anti-gun nuts. The 2nd amend ain't going anywhere. Do you understand those small words? Hey look! aarco's less coherent twin is back. Odd that you're so defensive about the 2nd that you get your panties in a wad if someone just asks a straightforward question. Worried that it'll crumble into dust and blow away if someone shines a bit of light on it? I'm not, it's survived over 200 years and I'm sure it can withstand a little curious inquiry. Don Not worried about anything..... Especially the 2nd amend. Shine all the light you want. Perhaps someone will be able to understand what point you are trying to make. And... stuff the PA in your ear.

You have to read more than just the Constitution to understand how those words came to be that way, and how they were intended to be interpreted. Start with the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, available in any college bookstore. The gun-o-phobes like to make hay out of the fact that the Supreme Court didn't rule that the 2nd Amendment was an individual right until just a few years ago. The explanation for that is that past generations have always understood it to be that way, and thus there wasn't any argument over it. It only became an issue because gun-o-phobes tried to rewrite history and claim that it was different from what everyone had always understood. Fortunately, they didn't get away with it. If you're not going to bother doing some research to answer your questions, then folks here are just going to quit listening to repeating the same complaint over and over again. Did you expect anti-gun believers to be anything other than purposefully obtuse, narrow minded and shallow in any gun discussion? That the subject has been hashed over many times before must be lost on them. Back in the day, those types were classified as *sore losers.* Let them sulk and pout. Unless some future court case rescinds the 2nd Amendment, the pro gun faction today remains the winner.

+1 on all. It appears to be either excessive head space or as already posted the bolt head may need to be checked. I have 5 Enfields and have checked all with erosion gauges. 2- #4, 1- #3, 1- 2A, 7.62, 1-#5,
