Cryptic update: I pretty much finished the Australian cryptic today (getting by with a little help from my friends). A couple of clues elude me.

• 8 across: "A veil is lifted and we are sensitive to it." (5) which I think is alive but that seems too piss-weak easy.
  
• 10 across: "It takes nothing to dare this nymph in the mountains." (5 - blank, blank, E, blank, D) which I have no idea about.
  
• 1 down: "Prohibit nothing if you want to catch something so noble." (7 - last letter T). Also no idea.

But hey. I got all the rest. I'm feeling pretty good about myself.

(PS: Cyberwings is rebuilding. Soon, people other than just myself may be able to read this. Rah.)
