Golliwog man denies racism « C.A.R.D: "A COLLECTOR of golliwog memorabilia yesterday defended putting his collection on display at a museum despite accusations of racism.

Nick Martin, 68, lent 300 items ranging from badges to a teapot for the exhibition at the Westbury Manor Museum in Fareham, Hampshire.

“It’s only white English people who complain they’re racist. They were originally more of a tribute. It’s political correctness gone mad,” said Mr Martin.

“We hope that people are not offended,” said Tom de Wit, curator at the museum."

A Truck That Runs on Coffee Grounds (and How Wood-Gas Powers Cars With Garbage) : Gas 2.0

A Truck That Runs on Coffee Grounds (and How Wood-Gas Powers Cars With Garbage) : Gas 2.0: "

The Cafe Racer Truck Runs on 100% Recycled Coffee Grounds

A commenter on Ben’s wood-powered truck post pointed us to a similar car hack. The truck above is also powered by a wood gas generator, except this one runs on coffee grounds. The Cafe Racer is a 1975 GMC pickup that essentially burns up used coffee to create a combustible gas. The gas is filtered on its way to the engine and, Viola, a caffeine-powered truck."

The later EC10 Mark 2 is easily recognized, it has an aluminum look decal panel and additional fine tuning control, there's also a carrier level meter mounted in the tuning dial. The fine tuning control on the Mark 2 was a quite an improvised modification, a varicap diode was added to the heterodyne oscillator with the tuning pot placed in the former EC10 head phone jack position. Obviously the head phone jack had to be moved, unfortunately the rear panel was the most likely position, this did make things a little difficult for head phone users.

Opulent yet versatile, the Blue Raindrop Trade Bead Bracelet includes a five-strand woven leather band with light blue raindrop-shaped glass beads, smaller bright turquoise beads, and copper fittings. This stunning piece is handmade in Mali, West Africa, and rests comfortably on most wrist sizes.

Trade beads made with glass or clay in Europe were transported over land to North and West Africa as long as 2000 years ago. European traders later brought beads to Africa to use as currency to purchase gold, ivory and palm oil. From Africa, these beads were traded on a triangular route into the West Indies, where they were exchanged for produce from the plantations. Today, these beads are enjoyed as items of personal adornment as well as treasured collectibles"

How Girls think about the Internet - Search Engine Ranking: "My ex girlfriend wanted to make a post about how girls think about the internet and wanted me to publish it on my blog. That was possible and I thought she was not going to make one anyway, but she made one after all, so I have to keep my word. I know how she thinks about the internet and the business around it, so I already knew her thoughts. Read and enjoy (or not :twisted: ) : We don’t like nerds, noobs or whatever. A nerd is a guy who talks about his computer all day long. He is wearing glasses and he never heard about fashiontrends or pussies :roll: He can only tell you about the new pagerank, news from Google or Microsoft or other sad (not) funny jokes from the internet. Nerds are intelligent, but they don’t know how to date a girl! But I have to tell you, sometimes I love nerds! When I have homework to do and I don’t have time, I ask a nerd! He can make my homework for a kiss, and yes he will do that! For us girls, internet is a datingworld, we love to chat with funny, pretty man but no way that I will build a site for money! Only money I spend on the internet is on eBay, for new shoes or jewelry."

The Day heanor went green.

Literally the roads in heanor where luminous green after a curtain sided rigid Laurie spilt its load all over the streets of heanor town.
Quite funny the fire brigade were called to clean up the mess. There was chaos as traffic was diverted round the back streets of heanor. While cleanup operation began.

Allotments UK Forum and FAQ - solar power for allotment shed

Allotments UK Forum and FAQ - solar power for allotment shed: "I have often thought about a generator but put off by the price �200 plus for a decent one. And of course the risk of it being stolen. You would need to cart it about. And there not light.

You can get decent solar panels off eBay for about �100 to put out 20w good enough for low voltage applications.

my solar panel is only small puts out 1.5w and I have managed to disguise it on my roof with some clear polythene.

My winter projects are to build a small wind generator using old electric motors. But the more i research this idea that more confusing it all becomes.

I also have a home-made Polly Tunnel made using plastic drainpipe and a big sheet of polythene. A bit of a makeshift outfit but it has almost lasted the summer taped together using gaffer tape.

I have managed to scrounge quite a lot of glass throughout the last year and planning on making a wooden framed greenhouse hopefully that will last a lot longer.

Not all my ideas turn out quite as I plan them but I am persistent and always looking to improve without giving up.

The more one tries the more one succeeds eventually. And it is all good fun in the out turn.

I keep saying one-day I will make a website to detail all my wacky ideas. Who knows somebody might be interested in them lol.

Thank You
