Reducing the simple act of waiting for a light to change to the very basic elements.
Reduce:
1. the amount of packaging by buying products in bulk
2. the amount of paper consumption in the office, school, etc. DON'T BE A TREE-KILLER!
Recycle:
1. all aluminum cans and plastic bottles
2. newspapers, magazines, junk mail, and paper
3. all old electronics and clothing at specific facilities and/or donation centers instead of dumping them in the trash
4. yard waste: leaves, branches, grass, etc.
Reuse:
1. buy products that are made from recycleable materials
2. find creative ways to reuse paper and boxes
Maple syrup reduced over the fire is called Kettle syrup. Ours is delicious, it has a slight smoky taste.
MS Silja Symphony is a cruiseferry owned by the Estonian shipping company Tallink Group, operated under their Silja Line brand on a route connecting Helsinki, Finland to Stockholm, Sweden via Mariehamn. She was built in 1991 at Masa-Yards Turku New Shipyard, Finland.
Type:Cruiseferry
Tonnage:58,377 GT
Length:203 m (666 ft 0 in)
Beam:31.5 m (103 ft 4 in)
Draught:7.1 m (23 ft 4 in)
Ice class:1 A Super
Propulsion:4 × Wärtsilä-Vasa 9R46 diesel engines, 32,500 kW (43,583 hp)
Speed:23 knots (43 km/h; 26 mph)
Capacity:2,626 passengers (originally), 2,852 (currently)
986 cabins, 450 vehicles (950 lane meters)
On 7 February 1996, the ship was grounded in the Stockholm archipelago. In December of the same year her engines were upgraded with so-called water-spray technology that greatly reduced nitrogen oxide emissions. In order to keep tax free sales on the Helsinki–Stockholm ships when the EU changed its tax free legislation, a stop at Mariehamn was added to the route in June 1999 [Wikipedia.org]

Yesterday was the most beautiful day here in Ohio. It was sunny and warm (well 40 degrees which is warm this time of year). The morning was frosty, with temps down in the teens. All the sap that was flowing the day before had stopped and was frozen in the spiles. It didn’t take long for them to thaw out with the sun and warmth and start flowing again. These are prime sugaring temps; you want it to be above freezing during the day and below freezing at night. The rest of this week and next week look like it’s going to be beautiful, especially for sugaring.

00:15 Leslie Burkes: On rainy days, do you see…
00:17 rainwater run off the roof,…
00:18 onto sidewalks,…
00:19 along streets,…
00:20 and down drains,…
00:22 instead of on your prized plants!
00:26 Welcome to the United States Department of Agriculture, in Washington, D.C.
00:30 I'm Leslie Burkes, Project Manager for the People's Garden and, I'd like to talk about rain barrels.…so, come on in.
00:38 So whether your motivation is the cost of water, or just the health of your plants, a rain barrel may be a valuable addition to your garden.
00:45 Obviously, the size of your roof and where you live will determine your cost benefits to make it worthwhile. Now, let’s see?
00:51 Annual rainfall, inches of rain, roof area, volume of water, capacity and use…Got it!
01:01 As you can see here, it doesn't take a large roof to make a difference.
01:07 Your existing roof is the easiest way to capture water. Now, slanted roofs use a gutter and downspout. A flat roof may also have down spouts or a pipe to feed the rain barrel.
01:21 Now, lets take a close look at our roof in action. [Sound of water raining on plants.]
01:24 [Sound of water falling down vertical downspout and along plastic tube.]
01:30 [Sound of water flowing from tube into barrel of water]
And always have a sturdy lid fastened on it so only water goes into the rain barrel.
01:43 Ours, is store bought and we have it elevated. We can use the middle bib for clearer water, or the lower bib, which may have more sediment. Let’s see.
02:07 Both should be high enough to fill a watering can.
02:14 Now I like to attach a hose to either.
02:18 And, then use gravity flow… to water my plants.
02:30 [Sound of Leslie walking on gravel, extending garden hose to plants.]
02:35 [Close-up sound of water flowing from sprinkler hose nozzle, onto soil; and birds chirping]

Rain Barrels collect rainwater runoff from your roof, enabling you to water your vegetables, flowers, shrubs and trees. By using rainwater from your roof, you can keep your lawn greener and
your garden lusher in the hot, dry summer months. You also will save money by reducing water usage. Stormwater runoff is rain that falls on the hard, paved surfaces and roofs of our urban
regions. When rain falls on a roof, it heats up and carries pollutants into the street and then into stormwater pipes which then discharge the stormwater directly into streams. Rain barrels and other rainwater harvesting methods (rain gardens, native plants, etc) really can help clean up the environment.

Why did I buy a pink toothbrush? At the time, it didn't occur to me that we wouldn't still be a couple. At least when you're living alone there's no one to make fun of you.

These two pepers were on the reduced produce rack. The package of two cost 50 cents. Not bad considering one usually goes for a buck.
Adventure Cycle Jamis Bicycles
Jamis 2017 Dragonslayer 27" Sport
PLUS
A 27.5x3” tire measures out to a 29” diameter and a 26x3” tire measures out to a 27.5” diameter. Combining them with a 40mm rim, results in the ultimate combination of traction, roll-over and versatility without being too heavy, too bouncy, too tall or feeling lethargic on the trail.
REYNOLDS 520 STEEL
For well over a century, Reynolds has been at the forefront of cycling design and engineering continually pushing the boundaries of performance. The 520 series double-butting provides both strength and weight savings resulting in a smooth riding frameset.
44MM HEAD TUBES
Oversized 44mm head tubes, like tapered head tubes, offer many advantages impacting the handling and performance of the bike. Not only do they allow for the use of tapered steerer forks adding more stiffness, lighter weight and better tracking in rough terrain, but the larger diameter provides a better surface area to weld the main triangle tubes to.
ADJUSTABLE SLIDING DROPOUTS
Our sliding dropout allows for 15mm of adjustment. Slide your rear wheel back to increase clearance for larger tires or remove all those gears and shifters and simply tension your chain for a quiet single speed ride.
READY TO LOAD
The Dragonslayer and Dragonfly frames feature rear rack eyelets and enough cargo/water cage mounts for the option to load up all the gear you may possibly need out there. Full cable housing guides are used to ensure uninterrupted shifting performance when using a frame bag.
OUTBOARD CHAIN LINE
A 12x148 rear hub with 3mm offset chainrings minimizes the chance of chain to tire contact with short chainstays and “mid-fat” tires without compromising any pedaling efficiency to a wider q-factor.
TUBELESS
Benefits of a tubeless set-up are reduced rotating weight and the ability to use lower inflation pressures for greater traction without the risk of pinch flats. WTB TCS rims feature a tubeless UST “On-Ramp” profile providing a consistent fit between the rim and the tire for easy installation and inflation.

Since Earth Day I've decided to be a little "greener." I always take my plastic bags back to Walmart to recycle, but today I bought 4 reusuable bags and will buy more the next time. I really hate the plastic bags.... especially when they just put a few things in each and you come home with tons of bags. My 4 new bags were stuffed full today and it felt so good!
A Sister or Houseparent in a Children's Home could easily reduce a child to a quivering wreck.
There are eight children at the Christmas Party, Sister now mentions that you are the one who is not going to get the slice of the chocolate cake as there are only seven pieces, have a biscuit instead.

He is less aggressive and cries less due to frustration.
He has settled very well. "

An upgrade to my steam engine's pistons. This upgrade not only staves off the risk of the pistons falling out of the piston housing and derailing the train, but also improves the fluid motion of the piston, reducing friction. A definate win-win.
This upgrade was done for several reasons. The pistons had a knack of falling out of place, or worse locking up and causing the piston housing to break off. It also reduces friction, because of the non-standard piston I used (1x4 tile). I was looking into a total redesign of the piston, but this new solution works very well.
