low energy bulbs again - how low energy?

The Warwickshire Wind Energy Project, urban sites on houses are generating negligible amounts of electricity, often less than that consumed by their control gear never mind their production/shipping energy cost.

Big box of 15mm compression fittings - resale value vs. scrap?

Yes. probably about the same as in past years, solder is dying off slowly, many new build sites do not allow any 'hot work' on their sites, but, in recent years, press-fit has become the main pipe coupling system anyway, as it is so quick, and does not use heat.

Unknown Trees in Front Yard! Help!

There are over 200 weed and plant identification web sites that are listed by region on the World of Weeds web site at www.ergonica.com. Some of these web sites allow for quick searches by plant features, instead of looking by name or images alone.

High powered kettles & vacuum cleaners plan to ban them in EU stalls

Energy switching sites have very little credibility due to the basis on which they make their claims. Also it is often not clear if the rates they are quoting do or do not include VAT. - the figures on your bills always exclude it.

OT: $7.5 billion Kemper power plant suspends coal gasification

Many of the sites are now being built on. Mostly houses. I believe that some sites are contaminated by heavy metals, though I've never heard of quite why this should be the case. Brian

Selling woodworking power tools

Besides what you've already been told, there are a number of sites out there. A google search should turn up several auction sites, besides eBay. And, if you'd said where you are, probably someone from here whould have gotten back to you already.

Woodworking Plans and Auction site

Also, free sites, while well intentioned, will have a cost to someone. Lots of free sites end up just going away when the person hosting it gets tired of it, or it gets big enough that it starts costing real money. It's all FM, my friend, and I don't mean "Frequency Modulation".

[OT] Is Curry's as crap as it used to be or is it now fantastic?

I checked their customer ratings and the first two review sites gave utterly different scores.

Big Box Stores vs Professional Electrical Suppliers

Visit a hobby store that caters to model railroad buffs and get a tiny bottle of dark brown paint. Nobody but you and G-d will know what you did. Jeff
