a City in the East of England, home to Cambridge University. The city also has a massive claim to the birthplace of football (the most widely played and popular sport in the world), as it is where the first universally accepted rules were written and first played. Sadly, this is largely unknown, due to the city and uni being so stuck up and football being considered working class. Shame. It should be noted that not everyone in Cambridge is stuck up, there's plenty of down to earth people such as myself! Cambridge - home of football and of one of the best unis in the world!

All of the definitions here painting Cambridge, Massachusetts as some playground for the ultra-elite are dead wrong. Cambridge isn't even rich compared to most parts of Greater Boston; in fact, most of Cambridge is straight-up working class. This is how it should be defined: 1. The best part of Greater Boston. Owns every other part (North End, Southie, Brookline, Newton, Roxbury, Dorchester, Somerville, Medford, etc.) in every way possible. No other borough/neighborhood/neighbor city even compares to this place. There is always something to do, ALWAYS. 2. A progressive city with a rich history. Home to some of the highest ranked universities and highest percentage of Democrat voters. 3. The only place in the world where Harvard and MIT professors live next door to immigrant families on food stamps, who in turn live next door to high-profile lawyers, who live next door to Wobblies, who live next door to old-New England money grandparents, who live next door to Harvard frat boys. I love going to Cambridge to hang with all the hipsters in Harvard Square. Then afterwards I always stop to eat at the best Indian food places outside of Delhi. Once I'm done that I usually go protest some shit with the socialists in Cambridgeport. I could live here forever.

LEBANON, Tenn. – As uplifting as last Wednesday's record-setting win at Kentucky Christian was to the University of Rio Grande women's soccer team, Sunday afternoon's follow-up performance in their Mid-South Conference opener at Cumberland University was just as demoralizing.
The Bulldogs dominated the RedStorm from the outset, exploding for seven first half goals and cruising to a 9-0 win at Lindsey Donnell Stadium-Kirk Field.
Cumberland (5-1 overall, 1-0 MSC) outshot Rio, 38-0, and was the beneficiary of a third hat trick on the young season from Kelsey Langille.
"We just didn't show up. It's the worst game I've seen a Rio girls' team play in the four years I've been here," said Rio Grande head coach Callum Morris. "For the first 45 minutes we were awful. I don't know that any of our players got off the bus. We turned it up a little bit in the second half, but nowhere near the level we can play at. We certainly came down to earth with a massive bang."
The nine goals allowed were the most by a RedStorm team since an 8-0 loss at Lindsey Wilson on October 23, 2010. It also marked the third-highest total ever allowed by a Rio team, surpassed only by the 13 goals scored by Tiffin University in a 2006 loss and the 11 goals twice scored by Lindsey Wilson – once in the regular season and again in the MSC Tournament – during the 2009 campaign.
Rhianne Parsons added a pair of goals in the winning effort for Cumberland, while Simone Quinn had three assists and Kaitlin Phillips finished with two assists of her own.
The Bulldogs built a comfortable 4-0 lead inside the game's first 25 minutes and then tacked on a trio of scores in a span of 1:37 just before the intermission to blow things wide open. Langille, who also had an assist, and Parsons did all of their offensive damage in the first half.
"Cumberland stuck to its gameplan. They have some good players and a nice team, but they're actually pretty simple to defend – we just didn't do it. That explains it," said Morris. "It was like nobody paid any attention to what we told them in training over the past few days. There's not much more you can say about it."
Renee LaRose, Meaghan Lyons, Brenna Evilcizer and Shauna Gilpin also scored goals for CU, while Gilpin, Evilcizer and Taylor Nay had one assist each in the victory.
Sophomore goal keeper Allison Keeney recorded 11 saves in a losing cause for the RedStorm (3-4, 0-1). Lindsay Kiton pitched the shutout in net for Cumberland.
Rio Grande returns to action on Wednesday, hosting the University of the Cumberlands in a 5 p.m. start at Evan E. Davis Field. The men's teams from the two schools will play afterwards at 7 p.m.

A Myakka woman is in recovery after being struck by lightning at Falkner Farms Monday afternoon.
The woman, who is in her mid-20s, lives at Falkner Farms and was struck by lighting while in a field. The Myakka City Fire Department received the call for dispatch at 1:52 p.m.
The victim was flown by Bayflite helicopter to Tampa General Hospital, where she was treated for burns and trauma, Mykka City Fire Chief Dan Cacchiotti said.
Cacchiotti said the fire department has responded to numerous lightning strikes and their resulting brush fires over the last two weeks, but it has not responded to any lightning-related human injuries for about 10 years.
Cacchiotti encouraged individuals to take cover as soon as they see lightning because even if a storm is several miles away, you could be in danger.

#99 should have been retired when we merged. Just saying.
Retrie the number(s)
Don't retire number(s)
Alternative to retiring number(s) - Please post your suggestion
#99 should have been retired when we merged. Just saying.
No, it shouldn't have.
"Try some of these before or after your statements if you are not presenting them as facts. Things like - "In my opinion", or "I think that", JHMO, IMHO, IMO, JMO... Your opinions are not (necessarily) fact. That would clear things up some." - Seadog 03/25/2010 11:40am So the above is JMO.
Agreed! A few years ago they were thinking about doing a permanent memorial at the Speedway of the drivers that had been killed there. IIRC, Gil De Ferran said something like, "we shouldn't celebrate death." I agree with this. However, I don't think we should retire any numbers even for the Champions, sooner or later you will have to use 3 digit numbers.
My god - 'NO the #99 should not be retired'
And so we came to Road America where we burned up at the lake, but at the speedway of Nazareth I made no mistake
gonzo -- I'm sorry, I don't mean he wasn't special because there is no doubt he was. It's just why is it we should only retire the #99. Why is that special?
There is a Scott Brayton award, so does that mean we retire all of his many numbers? Isn't he just as special by that logic.
I understand the gesture of doing it, but we're going to run out of numbers if we start retiring one for everyone we lose.
No, we shouldn't retire his number.
Greg Moore was special, but so were many, many other drivers who have lost their lives over the year. We don't retire the #98 or #77 because Dan Wheldon passed, any more than we should retire Scott Brayton's #2. It doesn't mean we feel they are less special, but that we choose to honor them in a different manner.
It's an inherent risk each driver takes when they step in, whether they are Greg Moore, Bertrand Baguette, Rick Mears, or Marty Roth. If we start retiring numbers for one, what does that say when we don't for the next fatality?

Racing doesn't retire numbers. End of story. Even number 3 in NASCAR isn't 'retired'. Let's please not have this discussion again. Ever.
"Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate."
2012 Indianapolis 500 Photo Gallery
2011 Indianapolis 500 photo gallery
We just went through this like two weeks ago....
NO number should EVER be retired. Ever. Even #14.
We have number 1-99, you start retiring and we're left with 10 numbers eventually. It's asinine (in my opinion of course).
Greg was awesome, one of my favorites. A threat to win and probably would have been legendary at Penske. PROBABLY. He was also prone to crashing and ended Emmo's career at Michigan through a piece of crappy driving. He had 5 wins and 4 poles against half of the AOWR drivers. Sure, I agree, the better half up until 2002-ish or so, but still....
This isn't a split thing. It's a irrational number retirement thing. Like I stated in the other thread, the #3 will be coming back to NASCAR in a few years with Dillon... numbers are not sacred in racing. They never should be.
Every race I run in is in preparation for the Indianapolis 500. Indy is the most important thing in my life. It is what I live for. - Al Unser Jr.
Everything I ever wanted in my life, I found inside the walls of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. - Eddie Sachs.
It might have been okay for CART or CCWS because death had become rare in CART's period, and they were never the sanctioning bodies of the Indy 500. USAC still claimed its own championship history and the AAA's history, and operated its own national championship for almost 20 years after the founding of CART, including the brief period that USAC was the IRL's full season sanctioning body. It would be the territory of USAC and its successors to commemorate the history of non-CART races.
The IICS clearly merges over 100 years of tradition, including eras when death was relatively frequent at Indianapolis and elsewhere. Honors that distinguish between modern deaths and historic deaths aren't appropriate in the merged series.
The fans should be the absolute last people considered on any decision that could effect a participant. Doc Austin
Lying was a no-brainer for me. Robin Miller
"I thought they booed [Danica] because she was being a complete jerk, but then they applauded for A.J. Foyt. Now I'm just confused."
Here is the thread... http://www.trackforum.com/forums/sho...-2012-Indy-500
My thoughts, and certainly no disrespect to you or especially Greg Moore and/or his family. Greg was one of my favorites. I understand why people want to retire numbers.
1. Cars should only use numbers 1-99 (not 01, 02, etc and NEVER 100, 101...).
2. We've race 100 years.
3. We'll hopefully race 100 more years.
4. You can't retire numbers
It's a stupid idea (imo) and drives me insane. Should we retire #14 if AJ's team ever doesn't race? And if so, what number are you going to retire for Mario, because that would be a slap in Andretti's face. Unser? Mears? Rutherford, where does it end? Also Mario was most recently known as #6 but ran probably 30 different numbers in his entire career. With IndyCar almost more than any other sport - numbers are almost meaningless and more about the TEAM than the driver (we had a thread about this recently).
Retire #77 for Dan even though he just ran it once or #26 where he made his name for himself with Jim Beam or #98 for his last 500?
What about retiring #2 for Scott Brayton, even though he is mainly known for running the #37 and #22? He sat on the pole in 1995 in #60. Heck, technically his 1996 Pole car was #32... and he died driving the #23. He ran three different numbers within a week.
NASCAR has it correct, no numbers will be retired... ever. Even the #43 and #3 are not off limits. The #3 will come back soon... "retiring" it for over a decade plus was a gesture enough, time passes - it'll run again.
Just my 2 cents.
I appreciate the sentiment in the OP, but I agree with others that the number shouldn't be retired...for many of the same reasons as above.
No number should be retired.
The closest thing to it I'm aware of is CART holding the #14 for AJ if he came back.
When CART folded and CCWS took over, the #14 was "Unreserved".

If youre lucky the transit of Venus is something that happens twice a lifetime and such a rare celestial event deserves a Focus all of its own. The transit occurs on 5 June as seen in the evening in the United States as the Sun sets and at dawn on 6 June as seen from the UK and mainland Europe. Peter Grego gives the lowdown on when and where you can expect to view the transit safely. Hopefully your observation of the transit will be less perilous than those experienced by eighteenth century scientists dispatched by the Royal Society in a tale recounted by Andrea Wulf, author of the new book Chasing Venus. Finally, Keith Cooper looks at Venus itself and how our perception of this enigmatic world has altered over the centuries.

The California Highway Patrol is offering a traffic safety program for teenage drivers and their parents. The Start Smart Program is aimed at helping future and newly licensed teenage drivers become aware of the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of being a licensed California driver. The program is designed as an educational tool for parents and teenagers in an effort to reduce the number of teenage injuries and deaths resulting from traffic collisions. Traffic collisions are the leading cause of death for 15-20 year olds. The primary objective of the program is to provide teens and parents with an understanding of how poor choices behind the wheel can affect the lives of numerous people. The Start Smart program also provides teens and parents with information on defensive driving, traffic laws in California, dynamics of traffic collisions, tips on avoiding traffic collisions, and DUI awareness.
Smart Start classes are free of charge. The next class will be on Tuesday, December 18th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Santa Cruz Police Department Community Room at 155 Center Street. For more details, and to make a reservation, please call the Santa Cruz CHP Office at (831) 662-0511.

Ok, enough science. I'm sure we've all played with Thinking Putty in our youth, but how about magnetic silly putty?
By adding a ferrous component to an already wacky toy we can keep all characteristics of the original putty, but now have the additional dimension of magnetism! I've seen magnetic thinking putty for sale on other websites, but I'll show you how you can make your own for a fraction of the price and in about 20 minutes.
Enough talk, let's make some magnetic putty!
Step 1: Tools + materials
The secret ingredient that makes the putty magnetic is an iron oxide powder, which is ferric (magnetic). Ferric iron oxide is a fine powder used as black pigment and can be found at art stores. If your local artist supply store doesn't carry it, you can always purchase it online.
1-40 of 248 | Next » |
Oxide powder is found in lots of pigments and is a descriptive term used for the mashed up minerals used to create what particular pigmentation, not all oxides are magnetic. Iron oxide is ferrous (magnetic) and is found in black or red.
But iron isn't the only magnetic mineral that is used in pigments. There might be another colour that works! Why not bring a magnet to the store and see which ones are magnetic? (hint, hint!)
I'll even double the 3-Month membership and throw down mad patches to anyone to post a colour other than black!!
love the Instructable
I tried adding a green chalk like substance to make it green again and it ended up being a dark olive drab, so it didn't work too well...
haha my little bro made silly putty in his class, may borrow it for experimentaion......
1.get a magnet
2.bury it in sand
3.take it out
4.and waaaala here is magnetic sand!!!
Steel will work as it's ferrous but I have reservations about using anything other than a fine powder, like the one I show in this project. For reference here's my first attempt at this project using finely cut steel wool, the results worked but I got painful slivers in my fingers no matter how fine I cut. You may find that though your 'shavings' or 'grindings' get stuck in your fingers.

Platfora, the Big Data analytics start-up that just surfaced last month, has picked up a $20 million B round led by Battery Ventures with participation from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and Sutter Hill Ventures. In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture arm, is also an investor in the company.
Platfora got a roughly $7.2 million A round a little over a year ago.
It will use the new money to expand sales and marketing and build out its product engineering and design team.
Platfora transforms raw data in Hadoop into scale-out, in-memory BI without recourse to a data warehouse. Non-technical business users can explore and analyze Big Data through a web-based interface. It uses HTML5 canvas technology for collaborative data analysis across any device or platform.
Founder Ben Werther said demand is such that the company has had to accelerate its go-to-market strategy and quickly grow its team. The company is focused on getting Platfora to wide availability in Q1.
Battery gets a board seat.

By Liz McMillan Cloud computing is more than a buzz-phrase it's a transformative IT paradigm shift. The emphasis in the cloud is on elasticity, scalability, agility and open. Not just open standards but open APIs and open source. The delivery of software is also going through a paradigm shift.

- Two 6 metre centre-console boats, each with a 90 hp motor: Macquarie I and Macquarie II.
- A 6 metre catamaran with twin 90 hp motors: Kirsty K.
All boats are equipped with safety equipment as required by state regulations and outboard motors are replaced regularly to ensure reliability.
Each research team is usually allocated a dinghy for its sole use during the visit provided there is an appropriately licenced and competent driver in the team. Student groups are allocated one dinghy per 5 or 6 people and there must be an appropriate number of licenced adult drivers among the group. Use of a dinghy is included in the daily bench fee.
Macquarie I and Macquarie II are useful for student groups because each can take up to 12 snorkellers. They will be allocated to student groups only if the proposed drivers are adult supervisors who have extensive boating experience as well as an appropriate licence. There is no additional charge for use of these boats within the Lizard Island group by student groups.
Access to Macquarie I and Macquarie II by researchers may incur an additional cost depending on the proposed usage. These boats can be used away from the Lizard Island Group under limited circumstances. Drivers must be licenced and have a high level of relevant boating experience. Research usage of Macquarie I and II must be booked well in advance.
Kirsty K is used mainly for work away from the Lizard Island Group. Additional costs apply to using this boat. Drivers must be licenced and have a high level of relevant boating experience. Research groups who wish to work away from Lizard and who do not have sufficient experience or local knowledge must hire an LIRS boat driver to accompany them until they gain it. Kirsty K - and LIRS driver if necessary - must be booked well in advance.
None of the LIRS boats may be driven by station volunteers or by people who are not staying at the research station.
Licencing and competence
A current recreational boating licence issued by any Australian state is required to drive any of the station's boats. A licence issued by a state other than Queensland is acceptable for up to 90 days only. Boat licences issued by other countries are not recognised in Queensland.
Queensland Recreational Shipmasters' licences can be obtained in Cairns after completing a half-day or one-day course. The Research Station will provide information about these courses on request.
All boat users are provided with thorough orientation to LIRS boats including boat handling, the Station's boating regulations, safety gear and local boating conditions. They must demonstrate competence before being allowed to drive independently.

simulate frames
Hello All,
I am pretty much new to CSS and I was wondering if there is a way to simulate a frames layout using only CSS. For example; if I have two DIV's, One being a left positioned side-bar with a bunch of links listed and the other main DIV floated to the right. Can I have any of the link HTML page(s) render in the main DIV as can be done using frames?
Any help would be appreciated.I prefer using php for that. But if you don't have php running on your server or you want to do it without php, maybe a combination css and javascript is an option? You could try something like this (made if very quickly):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">

<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" />
<title>Simulate frames with css (and a little javascript)</title>

"The day was Feb. 4, the day my son was born; the moment was three hours after his birth when I tearfully handed my newborn over so he could be transported by ambulance to Egleston Children's Hospital to undergo neurosurgery."
She was terrified as she watched her tiny son headed to Atlanta without her. " I prayed for God to put his arms around him and watch over and protect him. I asked that he grant the doctors and nurses the knowledge and skill they needed to care for him. Lastly, I prayed that I be granted the strength and courage I needed for the days and weeks ahead. God heard me and answered all my prayers!"
Some three decades later, Brett is married with a child of his own, and Janice is the director of Harbin Clinic Cancer Center, where the native Roman is surrounded by patients and families who no doubt utter similar prayers each day.
"Working in the cancer center brings me in contact with the most incredible people — patients/families, staff and physicians. I am in constant awe of the grace, dignity and courage I see in patients and their families as they face challenging diagnoses and treatments. "
In her personal time, Janice loves to travel and explore new places. "I enjoy antique shopping and decorating. I love to read, and I'm crazy about my e-reader I got for Christmas last year. I enjoy entertaining though I'm not a great cook."
When it comes to TV, "I'm addicted to crime shows and HGTV, which I know is a weird combination."
Other little-known facts about her: "I took years of dance classes: tap, ballet and acrobatics — not too useful in my current role. " She also adores jelly beans, especially the SweetTart ones.
Her Bucket List includes: " Visit Tuscany and stay for at least two months . Conquer my fears of injury and become a good snow skier; Forgive others and seek forgiveness from those I may have hurt; Have lots of grandchildren to love and spoil rotten; Celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary; Have a place at the beach."
Her advice to young women: "Never compromise your core values, and never give up on your dreams. Find what you're passionate about let that drive your career path. Develop an adventurous approach to your life and career. Instead of seeing problems and roadblocks along your path, see challenges and opportunities, and above all have fun with it."

How do you save on your GAS/HYDRO/FOOD bills ?
quote:Originally posted by skdadl:
May I ask a question about fires: gas or wood?
A neighbour of ours had a propane fireplace. It didn't save her much on electric heat, but it's much nicer heat.
My in-laws have a wood stove for both cooking and heating. Kills two birds with one stone, and heats their house up nice.
I was raised to not leave lights on in empty rooms.
I keep my water tank temperature turned low enough that I can either wash dishes or have a bath but not both together without running out of hot water.
Now I have to work on not spending so much time on the Internet. [img]wink.gif" border="0[/img]
I had a new house and was able to specify to the builder to put in the best insulation upstairs and down. Especially the basement...good and thick. Had huge energy efficient windows put in which was great to warm the house in the morning. I made sure I had an upstairs ceiling fan to keep the warm air down where I needed it. Also had the builder put in low wattage bulbs everywhere.
I think that was I all could get the builder to do for me.
Afterwards I kept the house temp at only 17C and just heated my office where I worked with a space heater - unless I had guests. I lived alone so noone could complain about having to wear a sweater.
I found a corridor near the garage exit that was always really warm so I closed the heating register at that part of the house which was rarely used. That warmed up the livingroom nicely. For about I week I paid closer attention to heat distribution and adjusted all my registers accordingly.
I set my hot water heater to a lower setting - I don't need scolding. I washed clothes and dishes in cold water. I considered a blanket for the hot water heater but the estimated savings I didn't think covered the blanket expense in 20 years.
I also saved water by putting down rocks instead of grass except for a bit in the back yard.
I drive a Prius hybrid to save on car travel. I've already decided to hack my next one to try to reach the 100mpg goal that some owners have achieved.
Its being a sick addiction trying to save and squeeze and seeing how low I could keep my bills. My friends think I'm crazy and cheap [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img] . On the upside I had more money to buy DVDs, beer and plane tickets.
Now I'm in China and saving water and gas are huge issues here and everyone parttakes. Saving waste water from the shower for the toiler is something I want to try to do back in Canada someday. And maybe those wall unit hot water heaters.
quote:Originally posted by RP.:A neighbour of ours had a propane fireplace. It didn't save her much on electric heat, but it's much nicer heat.
Wood-fired and oil stoves give off a nice radiant heat for sure. But both wood, fire and combination furnaces have maintenance costs that gas or propane do not. And some people can't live with a wood-buring furnace because of the particulates given off from the wood exacerbating their asthma. With gas and propane, you can route the exhaust chimney directly outside through a wall. It's clean. As long as we sell our electric power to the Yanks at "market prices", we Canadian's are going to be paying through the nose to stay warm in this frozen Puerto Rico.

I work near a grocery store and so it makes it easy to go there after work.I regularly do "lost leader" runs and buy nothing but "lost leaders". Just about everything ends up on sale sooner or later. [img]wink.gif" border="0[/img]
I hate to quibble, but 'lost leaders' refers to politicians who've gone astray.
'Loss leaders' refers to items for sale at a very cheap price to 'lead' you into the store. [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img]

The others are likely to bring them back at a higher rate.
quote:Originally posted by Mr. Anonymous:
I believe the federal government will reimburse part of the costs associated with an energy audit and home improvements that conserve energy. These costs usually pay off in 10 years or less, then make you money, so to speak.Regarding hot water heaters, there are brands that heat the water only as it is needed (using a super-hot element fired up as the need arises I think), and save a lot of money on long-term water heating costs. They originated in Europe, but are now available in Canada.

Help. Whats hydro? Is it the same as electricity, or do you get two bills?
That confused the shit out of me when i came here! In canada (and only in canada) hydro means electricity. In the rest of the world hydro in not really a word on its own.
Don't laugh. If you check solar cooking videos on utube, others are from canada too!
My first (experimental) compound parabolic only dilivers 200 watts to the food. (The entire thing cost 30 dollars inclucing the 7 liter cooking pot)!
It works for 3 hrs at a time without having to move it.
If you go solar electric, a 15 watt panel costs about 80 dollars and it needs a 30 dollar charge controller and a battery that costs over 100 dollars. Over 200 dollars already! And how much energy does it diliver?
In a 12 hour day at full production, it might potentially diliver less energy than my solar cooker does in 1 HOUR! (And this only if it could track the sun!)
If you want a commercial product.
GSO solar ovens are made in the usa and you can cook bread, chickens etc in them.
My solar cooker is designed for a 7 liter pot and would be suitable for slow cooking all day if you are around during the day. (But keep in mind that it is experimental).
Here's one:
1) Spray a cooking pan, pour 2 eggs and spices,
2) Put a tortilla in the microwave with some cheese on it for 30 seconds.
3) Put eggs in tortilla, add some supermarket salsa
We're saving on gas this month because the heater/AC is broken. Hopefully the landlord fixes things by mid october...

In Ontario, I've found Price Chopper to be cheapest. Also look for coupons and flyers.
If you're single and the grocery store is under a mile away, do what I do, take a large camping backpack and walk to the store with it, load it up (don't need any grocery bags - save a few cents and the environment) and walk it back. If you're getting frozen goods stick a cooler bag in there for them. This'll save on gas and get you some exercise. Doesn't work so well with kids in tow though.
Frozen fruit and vegetables are cheaper than fresh and some studies say they're just as healthy, if not healthier because they're frozen on the farm rather than having been on a truck for days. Frozen meat is cheaper than the stuff in the styrofoam containers and hey, less styrofoam too. Tofu is a good source of protein and usually pretty cheap. I pay a dollar per pound.
No-name brands generally taste the same and cost less. Some of them actually ARE the same - manufacturers just want to cover more of the market.
Eat out less. Bring sandwiches to work for lunch. Make your own coffee at home and bring it in a thermos.
also, i belong to a community garden, but this is more educational than anything. this garden has a hedgehog or whatever they're called (gopher ?) that has spectacular burrowing abilities. it digs huge tunnels so when you water there, all the water runs down the tunnel, endlessly. i don't know where it gets all it's energy, there can't be that much energy in brussel sprout roots.
i did have several five gallon buckets full of wheat, to make a seed crop, i should get a few pounds of wheat seed out of that. as far as saving money, what has turned out to be a big producer is brussel sprouts - the leaves, not the sprouts.
for the $2 worth of vegetables that i get from the garden, i probably burn that much up in gas getting to it.
to keep my computer's power consumption down, i used video cards that are able to subsist without an external power connector. it may only save a 100 watts, but it's just my preference. one example among late model video cards is the ATI 4670
vs. the ATI 4850.
the 4850 is very fast, the 4670 is fast and consumes about 100 watts less. 2.4 kilowatt hours a day.
i think saving water is important but i'm not sure if there's water shortages in Canada.
- stir frys for dinner, you can put absolutely anything in them
- buy spices, croutons, etc. from the bulk bins at the grocery store
- steal office supplies from work
- give up your television, it's a waste of time and money
- always make your tea and coffee at home
- carry a water bottle instead of buying pop or juice
- buy your clothes at secondhand stores
- washable pads
- drip dry your clothes
- slow down when you're driving, saves gas
- don't carry credit card debt
- take all the loonies, toonies and quarters out of your wallet, save them separately, they really add up
- try homemade gifts, knit a sweater, bake some muffins
- give up make-up
- do more emailing, fewer long distance calls
- plan ahead so you can combine trips
- turn down the heat, wear a sweater
I found "Food Basics" to be the least expensive grocery store in this part of Ontario. Although, it doesn't have the selection that the "Stuperstore" has. But, for everyday items, it's the best. And a few cents on every item really does add up. However, if you end up doing your grocery shopping in two different stores because "Food Basics" doesn't have what you want, or you aren't thrilled with the quality, then you have to factor this in.
I have a daughter living in Ireland, so long distance became an issue. I use "Facebook" to keeps tabs. It really helped. Not that we use it exclusively or a lot, but it eliminated the "check up" calls. Not everyone is into "text" like I am. Some people really need to hear a voice. So, it's not a complete replacement.
I keep meaning to do a study on our T.V. habits to see what we actually watch and compare it to what we pay for. But, if I know Rogers cable like I do, I bet the things I like are packaged off just nicely enough to keep me paying for fifty kabillion chanels I don't want.
My van has removeable seats, and I take one out when there's no foreseable prospect of it being used. I'm sure it pays over the course of a year or so. But I didn't notice an appreciable difference in the gas consumption.
Drive slower? Okay. Just not in front of me, okay? [img]wink.gif" border="0[/img]
I think the other thing is to just concentrate on doing things the most efficient way until it becomes second nature. Analyse what you do and how you do it, and eliminate wastefull habits.
I try to do that. But I'm sure Rebecca West would love to appear later and tell you what a bullshit artist I am. [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]
I would add:
- bake bread yourself is is about 4 bucks a loaf cheaper for nutritional bread, than buying it in the store. Or make bisquits/bannock instead.
- make your own yogurt, you get almost 3 litres for the price of 1 litre of bought yogurt and it is way better tasting.
- purchase a 20 buck head set for your computer and talk through msn long distance.
- shop garage sales and second hand stores for antiques and collectables to give away as gifts
- change lighting to CF
- make your own jams, marmalades and preserves
- cook 2-3 meals at 1 time, and freeze left overs do not let them go to waste
- bulk flyer shop for all food items and process perishables for later use.
- use heavier window covering in the winter and keep blinds/curtains closed in rooms where sunlight is not coming in.
One thing I am about to do is replace the elements on my stove. They are old, and inefficient. Just got to find the best price.
I'm told the type of rifle I would want costs between 3 and 5 hundred bucks. But there's also a number of other smaller costs. It depends too, how much of the deer I could actually utilize. I'm deffinately unskilled when it comes to dressing and butchering. So I may have to factor in the cost of an abatoir doing the work.
Either way, can't afford to set myself up just now, so I have lots of time to figure it out.
Have you considered 'bulk' purchasing meat by going with others and buying an entire steer, or even a side or quarter of beef. The same with pork, less so with lamb of course.
The other alternative is 'bulk' buying chicken by buying whole chickens which while a little more up front is actually way cheaper as the average family of four can stretch a whole chicken into 4-5 meals. Way cheaper than buying chicken breasts per meal.
I cook two whole chickens on most Mondays. Those two chickens feed our family of five big eaters through out the week for about 4 meals depending what we decide to do with it.
We have many of our farm customers order 20-25 chickens per year and this gets them a bit of a discount. Same goes for those who buy a couple of our 50 lb boxes of beef. I am sure that other do something similar.
Beleive me, getting someone else to do the butchering is well worth paying for! My partner put herself through school in part working in a small chicken processor. She happily pays someone else to do it, even though she is skilled enough to do all the work ourselves.
I'm not a gun guy or think of hunting as a "sport", so there's no esoteric pay back that way.
I don't even own a gun which shows you how bad of a redneck hick I am. [img]wink.gif" border="0[/img]

Local ABC affiliate WMTW is back on the airwaves after settling a dispute with cable provider Time Warner.
The agreement ends a 10-day blackout that began on July 10 after Time Warner Cable and WMTW owners, Hearst Television, reached a stalemate in a discussion regarding how much the cable provider would pay Hearst for the rights to air 13 of its stations across the country, according to the Kennebec Journal.
"We have reached a long-term agreement with Hearst Television and our customers can expect their signals to be restored to our cable systems shortly," reads a statement from Time Warner.
Time Warner Cable did not release details of the agreement.
Time Warner claimed that Hearst had been seeking a 300% increase in payment for airing the 13 stations, but in a statement released last week, WMTW said that figure was inaccurate and that Hearst was only requesting "a reasonable fee relative to what [Time Warner] pays for other significantly less popular channels."
The blackout affected 230,000 households in the Portland-Auburn market. 170,000 households were able to view WMTW programming during the blackout using satellite services or digital antennas, according to WMTW General Manager Dave Abel.

Shadle Park sophomore quarterback Brett Rypien has already done a number on the high school record books in his short career. And the signal caller's efforts haven't gone unnoticed.
The Rypien family confirmed to SWX that Washington State head coach Mike Leach extended a scholarship offer to Rypien Tuesday evening. The Cougars are Rypien's first collegiate offer thus far, but he isn't slated to graduate from high school until 2015.
Rypien broke multiple Greater Spokane League records this season, including the single-game passing yardage (577 yards against Central Valley) and single-season passing yardage records.
The Rypien name is a familiar one to Cougar fans, as Brett's uncle is legendary Washington State quarterback Mark Rypien. In addition to his playing days in Pullman, Mark Rypien is also known for his time in the NFL, where he was elected to the Pro Bowl twice and was named the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXVI.
