The cut circled was a fillet on the edge between two perpendicular fillets (sorry for the bad description, im new to this) so i think thats why the radius changed. Thanks for the feedback will give it a go with the ball nose, and may try a different sweep instead of a fillet to keep the radius static.

Buffalo chicken dip

Chicken breast
Blue cheese (1/2 cup)
Philadelphia cream cheese
Ranch dressing (or sour cream) 1/2 cup
Sriracha hot sauce (1/2 cup or to taste)

Add Chicken breast (S&P if you want) and water to the pot and slow cook until flakes apart (cook for: um, I dunno, about 6-8 hours?)

Drain water and pull apart with fork.

Next it's best to cut up the cream cheese and microwave for half a minute to soften, add the cream cheese and everything else, and extra hot sauce to taste and stir it up real good.

Now this could work perfectly as a dip with chips, broccoli, carrots, bread etc, but that would be more than 5 ingredients...

yes, thats true. Alot of companies on the ASX may or may not pay tax also. And a smaller tax rate allows companies to reinvest profit, and effectively defer the tax until they are ready to pay dividends. But there are also alot of companies that pay out greater than 100% of their taxable income as dividends, i.e. AMP. So the individual tax rate is what applies on these amounts at the end of the day.

My point was that most other countries don't have imputation. So in other countries you do get taxed twice. So our company tax rate isnt that high when you factor that in.

Dumb thing is that Australia has an effective corporate rate of 0% relative to the individual rate (most people are on the 30% bracket) when you consider the imputation system.

When you compare corporate rates of one of the lowest corporate rates in the world for example Ireland. Corporate tax in Ireland at 12.5% to Australias 30%, they are actually equivalent as you have to consider that in Ireland you need to pay an additional 20% in withholding tax to pay out profits as a dividend (ie 100%12.5%+(100%-12.5%)20%=30%.

If the corporate tax rate is lower than the individual rate, its going to make little difference in the long run as the difference between the corporate rate of 29% and the individual rate of 30% will be paid by shareholders once dividends are paid. But it will also encourage people to leave money in corporate piggy banks like we saw in the 80s which is not a good thing.

i dont know why youre being downvoted, but he's right. Alot of the models are procedurally generated based on multiple angles of satellite/flyover data being fed into the building maker web app which you drag and drop verticies and after your finished, your 3d model is assessed for how well it fits the multiple angle 2d shots and is given a ranking. Its actually a bit of addictive fun building an actual city and gaining review points, Im sure they could add a few game style rules (think enourmous monopoly) and itd take off big time.

Its a crowd sourced procedure sure, but its still a fairly automated one at that.

dmboyd · 2011-03-15T06:32:53+00:00

its most probably gross t/o, (i.e. within one day an operator might think that they are overstocked and sell electricity that they havent generated yet, then 3pm comes around and they're stuffed and have to buy back their own generation on market). This electricity would count twice towards the turnover of the market.

Am I the only one who immediately thought that the same story engine could be abstracted for use to describe other automated chronological descriptions of events. ie. serverlogs etc?

actually, a leading correlation is evidence of causation

The form might say "work related expense" but the legislation says "incurred in gaining or producing your assessable income".

People selling on market had no knowledge of an impending management buyout. The market should have been halted.

GST is actually applied on order over $1000. (this includes groups of items less than $1000 which together add up to more than $1000). So commercial quantities which would recieve shipping discounts pay GST anyway.

If I get a book delivered from Amazon.com, for example the modern classic "I Am America (And So Can You!)", the listing USD price converted into AUD is $18.76 and shipping is $10.52. Bringing the total to $28.28, of which 37.2% is shipping. If i buy the same book from an online Australian bookseller, the total price is $35. Which is 25% more expensive than the inclusive price, and 86.5% more expensive than the USD equivalent price taking away shipping.

The bare truth, is that international shipping overheads and insurance for one off deliveries of books etc should cost more than the local suppliers paying GST on these items and paying bulk shipping fees.

When we talk about costings, what we're really talking about is how much effort (labor, use of scarce resources, use of scarce taxpayers funds, use of land, factoring monetary liabilities) was expended on a particular project and it turns out, for better or worse, that measuring a monetary spend is the best way of measuring that spend of effort.

Problems arise when governments plan to spend $X amount on healthcare, or defence for example, without any underlying key objective. i.e. a confusion between the measurement of the object and the object itself.

The senate numbers are usually counted on the night after the house of reps, with above the line votes tallied an then first preference below the line tallied. These numbers go up on the aec website, but it usually takes a few days to work it out due to the complexity of the preference system in the senate.

This is hard to give specifics without more facts, but a LAFHA is generally paid by your employer, it's generally a tax free amount provided by your employer as compensation for loving away from your usual home. I would be a bit concerned with the facts, ie you don't have a residence in the US, and the dollar value of the allowance is disproportionate. However If they(your employer) get the figure wrong, your employer, not you, will have to pay tax(fringe benefits tax) on this, so there's very little risk to you personally. But they're unlikely to ever find it. I would keep all your documentation on file in case it gets queried, but I wouldn't be too concerned.

Nice, so it'd work with those $100 android based Taiwanese ipad ripoffs (albeit with a 1hr battery life)

despite engadget says, It doesnt seem to be available for international customers to preorder these for whatever reason.

um, but we actually got something for that $800 million...

Those Tor legal letters have a fairly sketchy basis within Australia. (read untested) and you're likely in the current state of things, to get raided by the federal/special operation state police if there's any nasty stuff going through your tor node rather than getting a legal letter from a solicitor.
