Lingerie Free - No Knickers? - How to Hide Your Gusset
In the following video no knickers aren't actually the target rather concealing a ladies lingerie garments whilst slipping out of a car seat - a tricky manoeuvre at the best of times but made considerably more difficult when wearing eleaborate lingerie and underwear. Thin thongs of flowing frnech knickers all throw up their own lingerie challenge.
What we find most amusing about this no knickers video is the setting - the back passage to an bleak industrial workshop or factory - hardly the romantic dinner date you'd expect from the stylish evening dress and luxurious lingerie being modelled.
Next in the Lingerie video series will be "why lingerie" a question half answered by those who wear no knickers.

Global Warming - Raising Awareness
Health Arguments for Climate Change
The health impact of climate change is a critical issue that policy-makers should be aware of while setting priorities for action and investment to mitigate the impact of global climate change. World Health Organisation WHO experts delivered this urgent message at this years Global Warming Risks, Challenges and Decisions conference in Copenhagen.
The Tree Badger has released a dirty great stonker of a video using footage from WoW and the background track of "Around the World" by Daft Funk that follows a WoW Machinima discovering global warming, which draws a parallel between what is happening on Earth and how this is visually reflected in Azeroth.
WHO has identified three key health arguments for stronger climate change measures:
Climate change has adverse consequences for health: as carbon goes up health goes down
Along with WHO the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and data identify risks to human health as a serious signal of the consequences of climate change and global warming of earth's natural processes. Health hazards from climate change are diverse, global and difficult to reverse over human time scales. The effects of global warming hits those least responsible for causing it They range from increased risks of extreme weather events, to effects on infectious disease dynamics and sea level rise leading to salinization of land and water sources.
Reducing green house gases emissions can be beneficial to health:
As carbon goes down health goes up
Feasible improvements in environmental conditions could reduce the global disease burden by more than 25%. A large part is linked to energy consumption and transport systems. Changing these systems to reduce climate change would have the added benefit of addressing some major public health issues, including outdoor air pollution (750 000 fatal each year); road accidents (over a million annual deaths) and physical inactivity and indoor air pollution which top 3 million deaths per year.
Based on WHO estimates around 150,000 deaths now occur in low-income countries each year due to climate change from four climate-sensitive health outcomes - crop failure and malnutrition, diarrhoeal disease, malaria and flooding.
Effective response requires global action
The health impacts of climate change are felt unequally. Whether it's excess deaths from the heat wave in Europe, or malarial deaths in central Africa, the people at greatest risk for climate-related health disorders and premature deaths are the poor, the geographically vulnerable, the very young, women and the elderly.The populations considered to be at greatest risk are those living in small island developing states, mountainous regions, water-stressed areas, megacities and coastal areas in developing countries (particularly the large urban agglomerations in delta regions in Asia), and also poor people and those lacking access to health services.
Putting these three health arguments at the center of discussions at the forthcoming Conference of the Parties (COP-15) in Copenhagen later this year would ensure that in the new post-Kyoto agreement we will all share in the health and economic benefits that can accrue from countering climate change.
WHO will strive to achieve four objectives:
- raising global awareness of these health arguments
- making the health case for strong greenhouse gas reductions (mitigation) in all sectors (e.g., transport, housing, energy, agriculture) at national, regional and international levels
- promoting and supporting the generation of scientific evidence
- and strengthening health systems to cope with the health threat posed by climate change, including emergencies related to extreme weather events and sea-level rise.

Dirty Rats - Clean Green Energy - Rodent Power

Rodents Rock!
Will rodents help solve the world’s energy crisis and help slow down climate change?
A hamster wearing a special jacket is doing its own small part to provide a clean source of electricity that is renewable!
The secret of this clean energy is the nanogenerator which can be driven by motion, such tapping of fingers whlist typing vibration of vocal cords, sheets flapping in the wind, or gerbils running on exercise wheels.
Using the same nanotechnology, researchers have also generated electricity from finger power – moving the users of ipod touch, mobile phones and other handhelds closer to self powering.
If a device such as the iPod Touch can self propel then imagine how much surplus playing wii games could generate. The latest calculations reckon that half an hour of intermediate level wii fit should be able to not only power the game console but the tv too!.
Nanotechnology has found a way to convert even biomechanical motion into electricity and it can convert any mechanical disturbance into electric current.
Read all about it here
As the annoying T'Esco commercial says "every little helps". When it comes to reducing greenhouse gases and self energising gadgets will have a small impact on climate change.
Climate change is the result of dirty polution and thoughtless economic expansion. Little regard to sustainable development in the past now presents huge climate change issues. Industrial growth and profit driven developments have always shunted the green movement aside dismissing environmentalists as being dirty hippies who don't understand progress.
Oxfam are committed to bringing climate change to the top of the agenda and need our support. You can make a charity donation direct to the climate change section of the site or alternatively donate to the organisation via the justgiving climate change page.

Dirty Hoes and Old TVs | Dumping for Joy

Dump run leads to dirty hoe fun
The post Christmas dump run is one of those jobs brought a pleasing vision that left me dumping for joy.My local recycling centre aka Dump always has something of interest to a keen eye this visit - 100's of hoes all waiting to begin their grubby soil teasing ways in the hands of dirty gardeners.
Have you tried to dispose of an old television recently?
As more and more people are preparing to receive digital TV there is now a glut of old style TVs that no-one wants. Not so long ago TVs were high on the house burglar's list of easy to sell stuff but now you can't give 'em away - charity shops are now reluctant to take them so phone first if you are thinking about donating your old TV.
The continuing arrival of improved LCD TVs and High Definition televisions has made the old CRT models obsolete.
Weird to see a whole stack of Lloyds blood pressure monitors and other assorted home medical equipment. Lloyds Pharmacy hasn't been reported as going into administration along with so many other high street shops. Maybe one to many bad reviews on Money Saving Expert lead a Lloyds Manager to bin them.
