Fire engine sirens are electrical. A biography of Strachan, Shirl: The Life of Legendary Larrikin Graeme 'Shirley' Strachan, written by Jeff Apter, appeared in 2012. [18] Apter had already written 15 celebrity biographies; for Shirl, Apter had access to Skyhooks' band members, Strachan's family, and "music industry figures, people from Strachan's later career in TV and radio, and the surfing gang he assembled after relocating to Queensland in the 90s." [19] Alistair Jones of The Australian felt that Apter's sources "all contribute to a picture of a good bloke fondly remembered" with the biography's strength being the "input that keeps the journey of a larger-than-life character grounded in personal terms" while a "down-side" was that "in sympathetically honouring the trust of his sources, Shirl becomes something of a tear-jerker." [19] Personal life [ edit ] Strachan met "Freddy" Strauks, a drummer, at a performance at Village Green. Strachan would later drive his friend to gigs. [1] Strauks and Greg Macainsh, on bass guitar, were members of Claptrap in 1970, and they asked Strachan to join on lead vocals in the following year. [4] [5] The group were renamed Frame with Strachan; Strauks and Macainsh were joined by Pat O'Brien and Sintjio Oohms, both on guitars. [6] The group's debut performance was on 19 April 1971 at Eltham's Montsalvat, where Strachan "stood facing the band, too shy to face the audience." [2] PPCA Announces Board for 2005". PPCA.

What about MIL-TFD-1111 ? In companies building military kit, this is the "international standard" someone is sent to fetch/read/research if they bodge a job. MIL-TFD-1111 stands for "Make It Like - The F***ing Drawing - 4 Ones (for once)"; a variation is MIL-TFD-4111. Triple M Brisbane, Strachan's former employer, held a day-long on-air tribute to him on the day after his death. Old archived audio was played on air. An episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation documentary Long Way to the Top featuring Skyhooks was broadcast on the day of his death: it was dedicated to his memory. On 10 September, Channel Nine broadcast a tribute episode of Our House, "Our House – Memories of Shirl", with content filmed in the weeks before his death, along with archival footage. [26] It was the most-watched program on that night, with 2.19million viewers. [27] Skyhooks special – Skyhooks bio". Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). 6 October 2001.

While no skyhook has yet been built, there have been a number [ quantify] of flight experiments exploring various aspects of the space tether concept in general. [15] Types of skyhooks [ edit ] Rotating skyhook [ edit ] The rotating concept. If the orbital velocity and the tether rotation rate are synchronized, the tether tip moves in a cycloid curve. At the lowest point it is momentarily stationary with respect to the ground, where it can 'hook' a payload and swing it into orbit.

Different synchronous non-rotating orbiting skyhook concepts and versions have been proposed, starting with Isaacs in 1966, [1] [2] Artsutanov in 1967, [3] [4] Pearson [5] and Colombo in 1975, [6] Kalaghan in 1978, [7] and Braginski in 1985. [8] The versions with the best potential involve a much shorter tether in low Earth orbit, which rotates in its orbital plane and whose ends brush the upper Earth atmosphere, with the rotational motion cancelling the orbital motion at ground level. These "rotating" skyhook versions were proposed by Moravec in 1976, [9] [10] and Sarmont in 1994. [11] [12] Day 3 for same target: Remove cardboard circle/get new cup with bottom punched out. Fill with loose chad as in day 1. Target will cuss (of course) while trying to edge the cup off the desk without spilling anything thru the assumed hole. Will then forget what's going on and toss it or tip it over thus spilling the chad all over. We recommend a minimum of four Medi-hooks down one side of the bed this can be increased depending on the size, weight and number of cables/tubing being used. The upper part of the Medi-hook clips over the bed rail and the lower part of the Medi-hook is used to thread the cables through there is a spring clip to hold the cables/tubing in place. a b Kent, David (1993).

MIL-TFD-1111 (mythical military/engineering standard: "Make It Like - The F**king Drawing" - For Once) particularly diligent in the printer areas, so there was a mess of spilled toner and paper dust on the floor. We didn't think evil Edna would actually try to scoop the stuff into the network cable! Perhaps Evil Edna should have heeded the following advice from an IT tech: "There are two kinds of bits, zero bits and one bits. One bits are heavier than air, and fall to the floor. If anyone sees a pile of one bits, the cleaner gets the blame for not sweeping the floor. Zero bits are lighter than air. They float upward and cling to the ceiling tiles. Once you have enough bits, which isn't hard at 10 million per second, the cloud of zero bits looks just like cigarette smoke … and since this is a no-smoking office you're in big trouble."

One long boring patrol we organized the SPCWS (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Water Slugs), complete with protest signs, petitions, and a sit-in held in the Torpedo Room."

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1993 in March, Skyhooks were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. [16] Strachan relocated to Queensland in that year and started as a regular presenter on home makeover program, Our House, where he resurrected skills from his pre-Skyhooks carpentry trade. [6] He also presented a breakfast radio show, with Gary Belcher and Dean Miller, on the radio station Triple M Brisbane in the 1990s. Strachan left Triple M in 1997 following a pay dispute. [17] He died in August 2001 while solo-piloting a helicopter, aged 49. [1] [2]On 7 April 2010, 3AW reported that Skyhooks were to appear on the first episode of the new series of Hey Hey It's Saturday with Leo Sayer on vocals. Sayer later appeared on air and denied the claims.

In video games, a somewhat fictionalized interpretation of the Skyhook forms a core gameplay mechanic in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. [13] See also [ edit ]
