So we're looking at possibly buying a bike from the auctions,we ran a PPSR and it showed that it had finance security attached, the bike does have damage but it's not recorded as either stolen or repairable/stat. Does this mean that the finance company has it at the auctions to recoup as much as they can?. Has no rego and no previous history of incidents. |

QUOTE (Dai. @ Feb 11 2017, 05:09 PM)  So they could be looking at recouping costs yeah?. I'll be calling first thing Monday morning. when you purchase something sold by a private buyer and it's under finance - this is what i was told many years ago - when you buy it you write a cheque to the finance company ie their payout figure, and the balance to whoever the seller is, private citizen etc I'd be asking other people for their opinions though, hence why i said talk to the auction house - i'd be pretty sure that they'd know exactly what the normal practice is for situations such as this. |

I'll be there, not sure if i'll take the rx7 - i was planning on being there in the 626 but it's not ready - have been let down by a couple of companies who haven't met the deadline with supplying parts ie the rear bars not ready yet from the chromers, and the horn button was placed on back order / wasn't told about it 'til Friday when they knew on Monday that it wasn't going to arrive by the weekend.

QUOTE (Slav @ Feb 13 2017, 01:20 PM) Anybody got some suggestions of driving roads in the Brisbane/Gold Coast area. I have done pretty much all of the roads that I can think of, Mt Cootha, Mt Nebo, Mt Glorious, Mt Tamborine, and the back roads heading to the Gold Coast. Mt Mee? but don't bother with going around Sommerset dam, the roads way too rough, you'll bounce all over it. |

I generally do Mt Nebo/Glorious,Somerset Dam,Kilcoy,Woodford,Maleny then double back to Kingaroy then head up through Goomeri/Kilkivan then pop out near Gympie. Nice solid 450km's minimum. |

QUOTE Playboy is bringing back naked pictures as bosses say it was a mistake to ban nude photoshoots
Playboy is bringing back naked pictures over a year after announcing that it would no longer feature nude pictorials. Connor Hefner, 25, who took up the post of Chief Creative Officer last October, tweeted: "I'll be the first to admit that the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but removing it entirely was a mistake. "Nudity was never the problem because nudity isn't a problem. Today, we're taking our identity back and reclaiming who we are." Naked pictorials will next appear in the March/April 2017 issue of the magazine, which has been given the title 'Naked Is Normal'. In October 2015, Playboy CEO Scott Flanders revealed the decision for the magazine to abandon its policy of featuring nude pictures after 62 years , kicking off with the March 2016 issue. He said: "That battle has been fought and won. You're now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it's just passé at this juncture." |

Go out Samford over Mt Mee, turn left to go through woodford, turn right at the Kilcoy Beerwar rd signs says Maleny, then a few k's down after a sign that says Stanmore, turn into Nonmus rd, that turns into Bellthorpe Range rd , you will love that section, all new, lock to lock turns, good surface, then at the top turn right to Campbells rd, then Gap rd, Mears lane, left onto Maleny stanley river rd, you can head to Maleny ot turn next left into postmans track, turns into ahears rd, left at the end to Kenilworth, at Kenilworth go right onto obi obi crk rd, great little one way section, at mapleton turn right to Montville, in the middle of Montville go left down the Hunchy Rd to the end turn left then back up the Montville Palmwoods rd from there you can just head down the hill back to brissie of loopback, maleny peachester rd. |

Horrible thing to have happen to an innocent woman and her friend......... QUOTE Horrific footage shows man, 45, in a 4WD 'deliberately' swerving in front of more than 20 oncoming cars as they frantically avoid him - before finally crashing head-on into a woman killing her instantly
Footage shows driving erratically along the Bussell Highway in Capel, WA He was thrown from his vehicle when it collided head-on with Toyota Rav4 Driver of the Rav4, a 61-year-old woman from Geographe, died at the scene Her passenger, 54, was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries This is the horrific moment a driver allegedly sped into oncoming traffic on purpose and killed a woman. Terrified witnesses captured footage as the 45-year-old driver ran dozens of cars off a Western Australia highway on Saturday afternoon. The green Toyota Landcruiser, with a tarpaulin hanging from a back window, is seen driving erratically for several minutes along the Bussell Highway in Capel. Western Australia police said the Landcruiser was travelling north in the south bound lanes when it then collided head-on with a white Toyota Rav4 at around 4.45pm, around 100 metres south of the Capel Drive intersection. The driver of the Rav4, a 61-year-old woman from Geographe, died at the scene. A 54-year-old woman from Busselton, who was travelling with her, suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash. She was taken by ambulance to the Bunbury Health Campus before being airlifted to Royal Perth Hospital. The Landcruiser rolled over and the driver, its sole occupant, was thrown from the vehicle before it came to rest right side up and caught on fire. The driver, from Usher, sustained critical injuries in the crash and was airlifted to Royal Perth Hospital. Twenty cars were forced to swerve to avoid the vehicle when it deliberately drove towards oncoming traffic, according to 9News. The footage of the deadly rampage was filmed by a passenger travelling down the highway behind the Landcruiser. 'He’s going to kill someone,' the man is heard saying during the clip, before calling police. Investigators would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the crash or the Toyota Landcruiser prior to the crash travelling on Wonnerup Beach, Layman Road and Bussell Highway in Busselton. |

http://secondnexus.com/technology-and-inno...03c354c456e1db2 QUOTE SCIENTISTS ARE TURNING NUCLEAR WASTE INTO SUPER-EFFICIENT DIAMOND BATTERIES
In the future, the cleanest source of energy could come from a dirty byproduct of today’s nuclear power industry. Scientists at the University of Bristol have created a super-charged diamond battery from compressed radioactive carbon-14 extracted from nuclear waste. Man-made diamonds are made from highly compressed carbon — usually coal or graphite, although diamonds have also been made from the cremated remains of humans and animals. When the researchers compressed radioactive carbon material from graphite blocks used in nuclear power plants, the result was a diamond that emits a continuous electrical current while producing no emissions. In addition, it needs no maintenance or recharging, and can operate for thousands of years. “By encapsulating radioactive material inside diamonds, we turn a long-term problem of nuclear waste into a nuclear-powered battery and a long-term supply of clean energy,” said Tom Scott from Bristol’s Cabot Institute. “There are a million tons of such graphite blocks around the world and this would be a great use for them, a use that would reduce their radioactivity and the cost to dispose of them. The cost to produce a diamond is a lot less than disposing of nuclear waste.” But what about that radioactivity? It poses little threat; in fact, the amount of radiation emitted by the diamond battery is smaller than the amount that is naturally occurring in a banana. The radiation is held within the diamond by a coating of non-radioactive diamond material. Since diamond is the hardest material known, it is well protected. In addition, carbon-14 emits only short-range radiation, which is absorbed by any solid material. At this point, the amount of power produced by a radioactive diamond is minimal; one diamond with one gram of carbon-14 would produce 15 Joules per day, less than an AA battery. However, with a life expectancy of thousands of years, these diamonds could find a place in devices that can’t easily be accessed for replacement, such as pacemakers and medical devices, or satellites and spacecraft. The researchers presented their findings at the Annual “Ideas to Change the World” conference. They have asked the scientific community and the general public to go on Twitter to help source ideas for how the diamonds could be used, said Scott. “There are so many possible uses that we’re asking the public to come up with suggestions of how they would utilize this technology by using #diamondbattery.” The public has ambitious ideas. On Twitter, suggestions include using the diamonds to power GPS units, drone power packs, smoke alarms deep-sea underwater equipment, aircraft black boxes and medical equipment for remote locations. Less ambitious ideas? The diamonds could serve as an endless battery for TV remote controls. In a world that is demanding more energy than ever, this idea has the potential to create safe power long into the future. |
