4 MONTHS AGO OCTOBER 21, 2014 5:48PM A SYDNEY teenager who told his mother he was leaving on a fishing trip in June has turned up in a chilling video for the Islamic State, threatening Tony Abbott and declaring war on the West. In the video, posted to YouTube last night, 17-year-old Abdullah Elmir from Bankstown is dressed in military gear and holding a rifle surrounded by dozens of other young jihadists. The red-haired teenager, speaking under the name “Abu Khaled”, addresses the two-minute propaganda video to “the people of America ... the people of Britain ... and especially to the people of Australia”. |

QUOTE (alpharx7 @ Feb 26 2015, 11:57 AM) The first time I saw a 3d printed a few years ago, all I could think of was how awesome to have spare parts on demand, can you imagine a manufacturing complex near a freight hub. If all kinds of manufacturers of anything sent the cad files when the product was discontinued, you just look up the catalogue of discontinued (or current ) parts, hit the checkout, file goes to appropriate printer, part is made, maybe even add the wank of a live order / builder webcam, then it drops to dispatch to wherever you are. The drop in inventory and warehousing would be immense for all industries, it could run 24/7 with minimal staff, almost the end of the "oh that broken plastic clip will be 4 weeks to get from XX". The possibilities are huge, especially now with the wide variety of materials and techniques available. alas I don't have the spare few mil to kick this off, no doubt if you got appliance manufacturers on board they may see the benefit to them.

get ready for another riot... QUOTE The graphic film shows a violent struggle between the man and several officers in the city's Skid Row area. Police say that three officers opened fire after the man tried to grab a gun from an officer. Witnesses said the dead man was known as Africa and had been homeless after treatment for mental illness. The LA police department said officers had been responding to reports of a robbery and had attempted to use a Taser to subdue the suspect but he had "continued fighting and resisting". No other gun was recovered at the scene, LA police commander Andrew Smith said. Last year, highly publicised killings of black men sparked weeks of protests in the US. Hours after the latest shooting, the hash tag #LAPDShooting was trending on Twitter in the US. It is unclear from the video what exactly happened, the BBC's Alastair Leithead reports from Los Angeles. The video begins with what appears to be a black man swinging punches at four police officers in daylight, near the tents and cardboard of a pavement homeless camp. Two other officers run up to join their colleagues. As the man is knocked to the ground, a woman can be seen picking up a fallen police baton and a voice seems to shout "Give me my stick! Give me my stick!" Several police officers turn to tackle the woman, in the foreground of the video, and her detention partially obscures what is happening with the man on the ground. A voice can be heard shouting "Drop the gun!" four times before five shots ring out. The police officers step away from the suspect lying on the ground and nobody approaches the body again for one minute 13 seconds, by which time police reinforcements have arrived. The man taking the video can be heard swearing as he records it. After the shooting, he can be heard saying. "Ain't nobody got no [obscenity] gun. I'm gonna record this [obscenity]... They just shot that man right here, man, they just shot that [obscenity] man right here, yeah." https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1009126519115252 |

I still think 3d printing is this centuries game changer There's definitely going to be strong growth in meeting industry demands with the technology. I can't quite remember if i'd heard that Amazon are already utilising 3d printing technology in making products for customers. Reminds me a lot of Star Trek / and the ships replicator. You can imagine that all coming together as voice recognition technology and 3d printing evolves to become a part of every day life, making food, spare parts, etc etc etc. |

for those WW2 history buffs out there...... QUOTE Microsoft billionaire finds wreck of legendary Japanese battleship Musashi: Paul Allen uses his own submarine to locate flagship that US forces sank with 1,000 men on board in WWII Battle of Leyte Gulf Allen posted a picture to Twitter showing World War II ship's rusting bow Musashi, the Japanese Navy's biggest battleship, was sunk in 1944 It lay undiscovered on the floor of the Sibuyan Sea for the past 70 years Billionaire Allen has now used his personal submarine to find the ship Discovery brings to an end Allen's eight year search for the Musashi Microsoft's co-founder has used his own submarine to find the wreck of the Japanese Navy's biggest warship - which has lain undiscovered at the bottom of the ocean for the past 70 years. Paul Allen revealed his amazing discovery to the world on Tuesday, by posting a photo to Twitter of the World War II battleship Musashi's rusty bow, which bore the Japanese empire's Chrysanthemum seal. The Musashi - which, along with its sister ship Yamato, was the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleship ever constructed - was sunk by the U.S. Navy in 1944, taking with it more than 1,000 crew members. But despite numerous eyewitness accounts, its exact location had remained a mystery - until now QUOTE THE BATTLE OF LEYTE GULF: THE WORLD'S LARGEST NAVAL ENCOUNTER
For four days in October 1944, the seas around the island of Leyte bore witness to what some believe is the biggest battle in naval history. The Battle of Leyte Gulf, formerly known as the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea, began on October 23, pitting the combined force of the U.S. and Australian forces against the Imperial Japanese Navy. Three days earlier, the Americans had launched an attack on Leyte; the Japanese responded with Sho-Go - an operation designed to lure U.S. forces away from the San Bernardino Strait. But the Japanese navy was attacked by U.S. submarines as it moved into position on October 23 - the first of four major encounters over the battle. The Musashi survived this first encounter, but the next day, as it passed through the Sibuyan Sea, came under bombardment from the U.S. warplanes. It was first hit at 10.30am, and then again in a second wave. However, the ship did not finally disappear under the waves until 7.30pm that evening. It had been struck by at least 17 bombs and 19 torpedoes during the battle. By October 26 - the end of the battle - the Japanese lost 26 battleships, but only sank six of the U.S.'s ships. The Japanese had also suffered huge numbers of casualties: more than 10,000 men are believed to have died. The Allied Forces, on the other hand, lost around 1,500. The Battle of Leyte Gulf was the largest loss the Japanese Navy had ever encountered |

bringing you the news stories that matter. QUOTE WHY GUYS LOVE ROUND BUTTS
You love them. Sir Mix-A-Lot loves them. Without them, almost half of rap lyrics would be meaningless, but why do men love women with a round butt? If you’re like the average man, you’re especially attracted to a woman with a spine that curves roughly 45 degrees above the top of her butt. Image via Shutterstock. Baby got back: women with curvy behinds made better nomadic child-bearers - which is why guys love round butts today, argues a new study from the University of Texas. You’ve probably never thought about “lumbar curvature” or “vertebral wedging.” But the study authors have. And their research shows men tend to go gaga over a woman with the type of spine curvature that makes her butt seem to pop out or protrude. If you’re like the average man, you’re especially attracted to a woman with a spine that curves roughly 45 degrees above the top of her butt, the research shows. Why? “This degree of curvature would have enabled ancestral women to shift their center of mass back over their hips during pregnancy,” says study coauthor Dr David M.G. Lewis. Back in hunter-gatherer times, human beings were constantly on the move. Staying still was a death sentence. So women who could keep walking long distances even while very pregnant had an advantage in terms of reproduction and survival. Lewis says a 45-degree lumbar curvature allows a woman to carry the weight of her unborn baby in a way that makes her less vulnerable to spinal injuries than women with more or less curvature. Thousands of years ago, this would have helped her to keep moving and foraging during the later stages of pregnancy - a huge plus, Lewis says. Apparently modern man hasn’t lost his taste for curvaceous, baby-bearing derrieres, this research suggests. |

Supra, so i'm guessing that it's a 2j motor. QUOTE Words cannot explain the overwhelming joy of finally achieving one of our long standing goals, the record shattering run of 5.97s at 387 Km/h (240 Mph) has proved once again that we are blessed with an exceptional team that is able to deliver such impeccable results. I wish to dedicate this achievement to our beloved Kingdom, our fans, our local and international supporters and all those who continue to believe in us. The list is frankly too long... This is turning out to be one heck of a night for us, thank you. |

http://www.msn.com/en-au/motoring/news/for...ador/ar-BBieFuF QUOTE Ford GT limited to 250 units per year, will be priced against Aventador
The Ford GT supercar took to the stage at the 2015 Geneva motor show, and its handlers had some important info about its pricing and availability.Ford spokespeople told members of the automotive press that production of the new GT will be capped at around 250 cars per year. Unless the new GT stays in production for 16 or more years, the new model will be significantly rarer than the 2005 model, which saw around 4000 units produced over its lifetime.As for pricing, the GT will be in the same ball park as the Lamborghini Aventador. If the GT makes it to Australia, that will mean a price tag of about $750,000. GTs heading to Europe should be priced around the 300,000 euro mark ($430,000), while those going to US buyers will retail for around US$400,000 ($510,000). This latest news confirms earlier reports that the next-generation Ford GT will be a pricier and more exclusive beast than the 2005 model.The latest Ford GT was developed to honour Ford's 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Designed and engineered in almost complete secrecy, the GT had its grand debut at the 2015 Detroit motor show.Said to feature "one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any production car", the GT features a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission paired to a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 kicking out over 450kW of power. Production, which will be handled by Canadian firm Multimatic, is slated to begin in 2016. |
