Betrothal, commitment, engagement, poesy, promise…rings of this nature have an interesting and long history. Please note, there are several versions of the history of such rings – so serious historians please don’t pick the eyes out of the following ‘facts’. It is thought that the practice of placing a ring on the finger of ones [...] Continue reading History of the ring – poesy rings, puzzle rings etc. A mob that has integrity.

Geoff After a long and convuluted series opf discussions and arguments the Gorgon project off Pilbara looks set to go ahead. It appears that even in these enlightened times the $$ is very strong, even when the Federal Government is pushing for a carbon tax, one of the very industries that will be “compensated” by taxpayers [...] Continue reading How much sustainable energy would 50 billion make? leave behind an incredible amount of energy in that oil that they cannot soak up. I have picked up oil after a week of cooking and I shudder when I realise that people have been eating food cooked in that oil – probably that day. Hint number 1 – if you must eat fish and [...] Continue reading fish and chips Sun is shining and the water tanks are full. They do not get much better then this? Geoff AMD processors, 20 flat plate heat exchangers, pollak fuel valves are available as current specials. Try http://www.telepoint.biz/specials.php Geoff Look on the net and you will find many conversations about heating oil, filtering oil, drying oil and so on. I cold filter all my oil, sometimes this is done immediately after pickup and sometimes after weeks of settling. Filter through a green woollies bag and remove as much fat and detritus as possible, sometimes [...] Continue reading why would you heat your oil? Using waste vegetable oil in your diesel vehicle can help redeuce the complexity of life and make your carbon footprint smaller. www.telepoint.biz has a number of options that will make this easier for you. Geoff The last post at Rambles generated a lot of hits on the Barry O”Farrell article from the ABC. Perhaps it is Barry looking himself? I guess all pollies have media agents searching for references to themselves so they can get an idea of how the public perceives them – perhaps they don’t. Far better to [...] Continue reading Barry O’Farrell again I have been looking around the spam that appears in my twitter profile and many of them seem to be pushing software that automates the adding of “followers” to your profile. Has anyone used any of this software? From a business perspective does it work by providing increased leads and sales? Geoff This bloke is having himself on, telling all and sundry that he is the Premier in waiting and just waiting to assume government. Labor is pretty bad, I will agree with this, but I will not be voting liberal until I hear some policy, not just how bad the liberals think labor is going. If [...] Continue reading Who is Barry O’Farrell? It is beginning to appear as if there will be some sort of deal struck on Australian emissions leglislation. I agree that something has to be done but it is beginning to appear as if the whole thing will be skewed towards the big business and existing profits model. The coal industry and now possibly [...] Continue reading Labor and Liberal – taking the $$s and running? As I explore this medium I find that I have managed to setup a “twitter feed”. There is so much to learn and so little time Excellent valves for biodiesel and vegetable oil conversations are now in stock. Previous articles exist on this item as well as on flat plate heat exchangers. Well obviously you do not necessarily need one of these units in your vegetable oil conversion but they may make all the difference to the way your vehicle runs and survives on oil. Many Injection Pumps (IP) just cannot handle the thicker vegetable oil in your system. They have been designed for diesel. To make [...] Continue reading Why do I need a 6 port pollak fuel valve?

CHINESE directors have pulled their movies out of Australia’s biggest film festival in a row over a documentary about a Uighur leader accused of inciting unrest, organisers said. Melbourne festival head Richard Moore said two Chinese film-makers pulled their movies after he ignored pressure from Beijing to drop the documentary about Rebiya Kadeer, [...] Continue reading Chinese boycott Aussie film festival This is a question that is regularly asked. It is most probably asked in response to the price of these items and peoples desire to save a few dollars, and of course this is a very valid reason to ask. The heat exchangers may be identical in materials, shape and construction, the only difference is [...] Continue reading Do I get a 12, 20 or 30 plate heat exchange for my vegetable oil conversion? I have given into the hype and media about the use of twitter. I am not sure I understand the validity of it all and even how it might be useful but I will be giving it a go. http://twitter.com/vegieoil Of course I will be using to flog my stuff as well as provide meaningful [...] Continue reading Vegieoil on Twitter Where do we get these experts from? From under some rock? They may well be correct that using todays applications and understanding 100 megabits is not needed. But what about tomorrow? Why is the emphasis on entertainment? I am sure that these experts see the internet itself as being unnecessary because they can not seem [...] Continue reading Why don’t they get it ?
