Thanks Alison..I googled discount KD tickets and there you were..so cool! Thanks for the tips, we may go this weekend, the kids are on springbreak! Hope you guys are doing well!
love ya,
Spring for the season pass if you anticipate visiting the theme park more than twice this summer.
But for one day's fun, I've compiled a list of Kings Dominion discounts. No matter when you're going or how much effort you're willing to make, you don't need to pay full price ($54.99):
1. The Last-Minute Route: Buy your park tickets online from Kings Dominion's website before heading to the park to save $10 a ticket.
Cost: $44.99
2. The Easy Route: Just plan ahead and buy "3-day advance purchase" park tickets online for a $15 dollar discount
Cost: $39.99
3. The Twilight Route: Buy a "Twilight Admission" ticket online that is valid for admission any day after 4pm.
Cost: $31.99
4. The Anytime Parks & Rec Route: Visit Henrico County's Parks & Rec Office* to buy "Good Any Day" tickets, valid for admission any day during the 2009 season. More work, but cheaper than through Kings Dominion's website. Check with your local Parks Department for similar discounts (This is the City of Richmond's theme park page from last year; prices aren't quite as good)
Cost: $38.00 for an adult ticket, $28 for junior/senior ticket ($4 savings over regular price)
5. Super Savings Parks & Rec Route: If your visit falls during designated dates, the Henrico County tickets are even cheaper.
Cost: $28
Spring Savings Days
Valid April 10, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26, May 2, 3, 9, 10, 16,17, 23, 24 & 25 (2009)
Park & Recreation Days
Valid July 3 through August 7(2009)
Fall Fun Days
Valid September 26, 27, October 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, and November 1
6. Get Friendly with a Passholder Route – VIP or Platinum season pass holders can bring a friend at a $25 discount off general admission every day. Occasionally, Kings Dominion also holds Bring-A-Friend days, and friends pay only $9.99. (Mothers Day was Bring-A-Friend day).
Cost: $9.99-$29.99
7. The Corporate Code Route: Visit RetailMeNot for corporate discount codes that you can enter when buying tickets online. User success rates and comments are provided. This option raises ethical issues about using codes that aren't intended for you, but as far as I know, Kings Dominion does not require any proof of eligibility.
Cost: Varies, but similar to #5
*Henrico County Theme Park Tickets: Tickets can be purchased at the Recreation & Parks Administrative Office, located in the Human Services Building. We accept cash (please bring exact change); MasterCard and Visa pin-based debit cards; and Discover Cards. A transaction fee is charged on all Discover Card purchases. Theme Park Tickets are nonrefundable. For group sales of 15 or more, please call VRPS at 730-9447.
I've also heard that local credit unions may offer discounted tickets but don't have any further information. Let me know if there are other widely available discounts that I can add to the list!

Happy New Year from The Knit Surfers!
It snowed over the New Year's holiday in San Diego which is extremely rare. It's actually pretty warm today, in the high 70s so if you're a local, layer up!
Feeling a little under the weather? Try some Apple Cider Vinegar. It's very easy to make and actually tastes pretty good. Kelie puts 1 Tablespoon of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 Tablespoon of Honey or Agave in the bottom of a glass. Then fill the glass up with water and enjoy. She drinks it even when she's feeling well to help keep her immune system strong.
The first meeting of the North Coast Knitting Guild was yesterday and the guest speaker was Sara Stolz. She is a very charming lady with a lot of enthusiasm for adding color to the world around her through yarn bombing. She is the mastermind behind the yarn bombing in Old Poway Park and has done a lot to introduce the Poway community to the art of knitting. Many enjoyed the trees decorated with many birds and the sweater specially designed for a tree in the park. Sara also showed us pictures of art she has created around her property including tree sweaters, tree stump chair and table, and painted objects. It was really fun to see!
Nancy teaches Textiles at FIDM and has access to many trend reports, so we talk about Spring Color trends and what you'll be seeing in upcoming fashion.
Nancy talks about our very own "King's Road", El Camino Real. She talks about the history of El Camino Real, the 21 Missions in California, and the bells that were installed by the City of Encinitas to mark the route.
What's going on at Common Threads:
Knitalong – Samen Shawl by Stephen West: We just ask that you purchase your yarn for the shawl from Common Threads, the friendship, camaraderie, and pattern help are free! Stop by to sign up!
Nancy's Project:
Heart Blanket by Noro – All seamed up, just needs a border and some ends weaved in. Kelie thinks that Nancy's post on Facebook of the blanket, inspired the upcoming knitalong hosted by Knitting Fever Inc., Noro's American distributor. They have offered a coupon code for a free download of the heart blanket pattern on Ravelry if you buy the yarn for this project at your local yarn store. Common Threads has the code and is ready to use it! The Knitalong starts January 14, 2015, so if you're thinking about this project, come on in. If you're not sure about committing to the full blanket, try making a pillow instead.
Kelie's Projects:
Hitchhiker by Martina Behm – Finished and wonderful!
Fire Drake Shawl by Abigail Phelps – Finished! Made out of her gradient handspun, with beads added for sparkle.
Fairy Snowcaps by Romi Hill – Finished! One is for a chemo hat and the other is for Kelie. She used GGH Tara yarn which is Cotton and Microfiber. It's soft and washable, perfect for a person going through chemotherapy.
Rhodonite Love Socks – Finished! This is made with Kelie's own toe-up recipe but using charts from Cookie A's book Knit.Sock.Love.
Kelie is currently working on her Gurli Mittens and a pair of Prairie Boots.
Happy Birthday to Camille! We love you and hope you have an amazing birthday!

Extracts from this document...
Explain the benefits of diversity in society (P1) The benefits of diversity in a society are the advantages a society gain from diversity. Diversity helps in meeting different people from different countries, thus helping to learn different culture, different food, various religions, different language and people coming together to socialise. Being open to other cultures enriches everyone and means that our everyday lives are more interesting, even at the basic levels as the types of food we eat. Fashion often borrows from other cultures, and popular music has benefited from cultural influences. Example Notting hill carnival Diversity helps increase a society economics gains. Diversity opens the opportunity for others to explore their skills in other country. These include nurses from countries such as South Africa into Britain and the Philippians. All these contribute to economic growth. Other benefits from diversity are forms of complementary medicine, such as acupuncture, massage and aromatherapy, which have their roots in others culture. For example, in the 1950s when demand for new housing was high and the numbers of available workers in short supply, Italians were encourage to come to England to work in the brick-making industry and many stayed and settled in the Midlands. We only have to visit our local supermarket or walk down the streets on our towns to see the influence of diversity on society. The variety of food available tells its own story as there are tastes and texture from around the world on our doorstep. We can eat food in our own homes that previously we would have had to travel far and wide to experience. Exotic fruits, vegetables and spices have been arriving in Britain for a long time but now more than ever before these are the basis of everyday food fro many people rather than the privileged few. Much of the music we listen to has been greatly influenced by Africa music, mediated through black Americans whether it is rhythm and blues, jazz, hip-hop, soul or rock, Artists such ...read more.
Care workers having powers over services users are discriminating. *Care workers should learn about service users' beliefs, pratices, values and life experience of service users. This can be done through staff training sessions, picking up information on the internet and talking to service users about their background, beliefs and culture. *Care workers should encourage reflection, to promote healthy attitudes, to look critically at whatever the service user is actually doing in their day-to-day task. *Knowing how to challenge discriminatory pratice.This is reporting direct and indirect discriminatory behaviour. *Seeking up to date training so that they can consider issues and learn sharing with others. Care worker can promote equality for service users *Giving out information to the client about the service they offer. *Care worker should put posters around the care home so that service users know what is going on at the care home. *Care worker should give out information to client about the service they offer. *Care workers having one to one meeting with the service users, thus allowing them to express their right. The procedures that could be taken to challenge discrimination are: *Making sure all workers and clients are warned to avoid discrimination in the health and social care sector. *By offering services in different term, to identify the key element of anti-discriminatory practice in relation to these different. *Anybody who discriminates can face charges. The procedures that can be put in place are *There should be guest speaker to talk to them about discrimination and the effects. *There should be discussion so that workers do not forget the rules of discrimination. *There should be regular meetings to remind staff about the service they should offer. One way a social care setting can challenge anti discriminatory is through staff development and training this may be done formally through supervision sessions or more informally in the course of day to day working. ...read more.
It is important to change own beliefs and values from learning new things about different cultures, lifestyles and religion. Abortion I would discriminate thought against the service user who does abortion. Abortion is not good and it is the act of killing the innocent baby that is coming to the world. Also I thought that people who are into abortion are capable of killing. This is an act of murder. The reason why I discriminate against people who does abortion is because this can cause some disability health condition such as infertility and at times death. I will try and harmonise my thoughts and values by treating each individual equally, and by respecting their privacy and interest. The reason being that, I do not know the reason why she had had the abortion, it could be she is facing financial or family problem. I do not have to judge people especially if you do not know them well because it does not means that all people that do abortion can kill. H I V PATIENT As a care worker I would discriminate thoughts against a patient affected by HIV is because I o not know how the person contacted the disease. I belief it is usually transmitted through unprotected sex,using needles or syringe that is affected is the virus. I will discriminate against service users with the virus because I don't want to among those people that have been infected. I will try to harmonised my thoughts and values by researching more on HIV, going for training courses on how to avoid discriminating on client, asking professionals on how to work with affected clients and be able to have one to one conversation with clients and also listen to their views on how they are feeling. I can also go on the internet and find more about HIV and the way to socialise with them. In conclusion, I have explained how I will harmonise my own beliefs and values and my reasons why I have those thought of discrimination about individuals and also how to respect clients. ...read more.

For Immediate Release:
SAG National Board of Directors Appoints Bob Bergen
National Chair of Television Animation and Basic Cable Animation
Negotiating Committee Receives Report on The Presidents' Forum for One Union
Announces Fiscal-Year 2010 Surplus and Receipt of Unqualified Audit Opinion
Los Angeles, (July 24, 2010) – Screen Actors Guild National Board of Directors, meeting in a one-day video plenary in Los Angeles and New York, named Bob Bergen National Chair of the 2010 Television Animation and Basic Cable Animation Negotiating Committee. Pursuant to Screen Actors Guild policy, the members of negotiating committees are confidential and their names will not be released. Negotiations for a successor agreement to this contract are scheduled to begin September 27, 2010.
In other business, National President Ken Howard reported to the Board regarding the formation of The Presidents' Forum for One Union – a joint platform with American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) to facilitate development of a process that can lead SAG and AFTRA to form one autonomous union.
Screen Actors Guild's contingent to The Presidents' Forum will consist of six SAG members including President Howard as Chair, Secretary-Treasurer Amy Aquino, and four additional members selected from the Guild's SAG/AFTRA Relations Task Force. The Forum will include a similar group designated by AFTRA.
President Howard said, "This is a positive step toward uniting SAG and AFTRA and good news for our members. The creation of a single performers' union is overdue, and I'm pleased to be working with Roberta Reardon, who's been such a champion of that goal."

Sorry I doubled up on my specs. I'll start again…
I'm about to purchase a new server to run VMWare ESXi 3.5
The specs are:
Intel SR2500 Server with RAID SR2500ALLXR
2 x Intel Xeon Quad 5420 CPU
2 extra Intel PCIx Dual Port Gigabit NIC
I don't think I'll have more than 6 VM's on this box, so I guess my questions are:
1. Are the specs above good enough to run this Many VM's?
2. Are the SATA HDD's OK – or should I definitely go with SAS?
3.If I plan to run 6 VM's – how big should the HDD's be?
4. Will users notice a lag with the systems running on the VM's?
Here are the options I got for the drives – for RAID 10 setup.
292GB RAID 10) 4 x Seagate SAS 15Krpm 146GB Hard disks
(600GB RAID 10) 4 x Seagate SAS 15Krpm 300GB Hard disks
(900GB RAID 10) 4 x Seagate SAS 15Krpm 450GB Hard disks
(2TB RAID 10) 4 x Seagate SATA 7200rpm 1TB Enterprise Hard disks
(3TB RAID 10) 4 x Seagate SATA 7200rpm 1.5TB Hard disks
Thank you in advance 🙂
The I.T. Chick 😉
I would recommend you review your components against VMware's compatability list http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?action=base&deviceCategory=server before you make such a purchase. Definitely SAS drives are recommended since SATA has limited support if any at this time.

| Published under Search Engine Optimization
Web Development
by Stephanie Hooper
In the world of SEO, a "deleted" webpage can become the gift that keeps giving by simple implementation of a "code" called a 301 redirect. A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect put in place to pass link equity from one-page (old, outdated, or no longer necessary and deleted) to another (new, updated, relevant) page, typically of similar content, category or theme. This is a best practice in SEO to maintain search rank and traffic, and for the user because they are redirected to the newer content automatically by the search engine following the 301.
Of particular importance is Googles announcement on February 8th, 2018 that they intend to formally mark websites lacking SSL Certificates as insecure. Google has confirmed "early July 2018" as the start date. They have also disclosed how they will alert web surfers of the non-HTTPS status, or not secure websites will be flagged with a warning in the URL bar of the surfer's browser.
This is relevant because in website owners rush to be compliant and install a SLL certificate they may not be aware all their website addresses that were once http://www. will become https://www which changes the url. For website owners who do nothing they will most definitely watch as their coveted keyword search rankings drop off page one and deep down in to the abyss of page 2,3,4 or worse. The 301 redirect is the most effective way to maintain your rankings and mitigate any traffic loss due to SSL migration.
If you've ever restructured your site, change your name, rebranded – anything that could affect the structure of your website's URL build, 301 redirects are the best option. It tells a search engine www.example.com/about is the same as www.example.com/aboutus if you happened to have change a tab of your website to read About instead of About Us. This also helps if www.example.com/aboutus was listed on other webpages or saved as a bookmark within a user's browser – instead of having to (impossibly) request that everyone update their URLs, a 301 redirect will make it so all links and listings of www.example.com/aboutus now resolve to www.example.com/about when clicked.
301 redirects pass link equity from the old to the new page. If you were to simply delete page "A" and make a new version page "B" without a redirect, page "B" would have to start from the ground up building page rank and listings within SERPs (search engine result pages) – whereas a simple 301 would tell Google, Bing, and other engines page "A" has now become page "B" and can be ranked the same as they are in fact one in the same. It helps you maintain and even improve your overall rankings and traffic because you're passing "it" from one hand to the other versus refilling your cup.
Finally, 301 redirects prevent the dreaded "404 Page Not Found" message we've all come across a time or ten. It's a bad user experience. The user intends to see one thing and is instead blindsided by a random page that's not helpful and is typically an eyesore. Instead think of where that user should or could go next, be it the newer version of the item or the parent topic page, don't leave them on an unhelpful unenticing "404". This can also help to keep your website and the user experience "clean" and the user journey flowing.
There is one major issue to be aware of when implementing 301 redirects: the daisy chain. This occurs when we have multiple updates and keep redirecting the same "new" page to the next "new" page i.e. page "A" becomes page "B", page "B" becomes page "C", page "C" becomes page "D" and then it gets out of hand. Not only is this hard for you to keep up with but it's also difficult for search engines. Instead consider redirecting page "A" to page "D", page "B" to page "D" and page "C" to page "D" this flattens things out a bit and is more manageable for you and the SERPs.
If you don't have access to your CMS backend or you have a developer than handles the website, you'll have to submit a request for redirects. If you have a WYSIWYG user friendly CMS like WordPress, there are several plugins you can download to make 301 redirects as simple as pasting in the old URL on the left and the new URL on the right. However, for those DIY-ers or first time Webmasters 301 redirects are created within the .htaccess file using html code "redirect301/aboutus https://www.example.com/about" – this format is necessary for each URL you are wanting to redirect. It is going to be time consuming, but it is worth it… and it's probably what your competitors are doing!
As with all things SEO do it for Google and the other SERPs but also keep your user in mind. Provide a good user experience and maintain your link equity and traffic with a simple 301 redirect. Don't delete a page and send the user to a 404, 301 the page and send the user to a page they intended to visit.

RRP price from
Jeep® is proud to announce its latest Brand Ambassador, British snowboarder Aimee Fuller. Aimee is one of the UK's most promising snowboarders and proud owner of an All-New Jeep® Renegade.
"I am very excited to announce my new partnership with Jeep®! It represents exactly what I need – fun, freedom and a car that I can take anywhere." Being a "Renegade" means a lot to Aimee. "It's about freedom, strength and opportunity, going places, adventures, missions and performance - helping me to push myself to reach new heights."
"I love being outdoors. Where I live in Northern Ireland, there are some great places to take the Renegade. We've taken it to go hiking in Belfast and up to Portrush for some surfing. It's so much fun to have such a solid car for these types of adventures. I've even taken it for a drive in a big field – definitely good for off-road missions!"
Both inside and outside the Renegade, there's plenty of room for all Aimee's equipment. "In my boot right now, you find my snowboard bag, lots of pairs of trainers and my spare snowboard – I always bring two. I often have the bike on the roof. Inside my board bag with 3 boards fit's in really well, I just put down the back seat, and it slides right in!"

This is a snippet from the Gold Forecaster. The newsletter that covers all pertinent factors affecting the gold price (with a 95% accuracy rate).
When India announced its purchase of 200 tons, it added a statement that it may buy more of the IMF gold. This implied that it was limited by the IMF to 200 tons. But the IMF never said that. Rather it said it would announce the sale of any other portion of their gold to the public. It has been several months since another sale has taken place. Now with this announcement, we are given the impression that central banks have not come forward to buy and are not buyers. Talk about 'spin'!
China for sure would not buy if an announcement were to be made. It would rather buy once the gold were sold in the open market, for it could buy through its chosen bullion bank or bullion banks and do so, under the radar. In fairness to the IMF we have to say that they have said they are open to central banks buying direct from them still, and will announce such sales. But you must realize that any further sales through the 'open' market will be done anonymously. This levels the playing field. However, all we will now hear is the completion of such sales. If the IMF decides to sell 4 tons a week, we will hear about it through the ECB website in tonnage terms but with no further details. Will we hear of a 100 ton sale done this way? Unlikely, but possible!
The market first reacted by fearing a dumping of this amount of gold, but once it gathered itself together, realized that it could as well be bullish for the gold price. After all 191 tons is an amount that the gold market does not see often, so a big buyer in the wings, finding that for one price can get a good lump might well come and bid for it. Will the IMF offer the amount to the market or drip feed it? No one knows. Will they say to the market there is 191.3 tons on offer, we don't know. They can now play the game as they choose. If they want to sell the gold quickly, it is incumbent upon them to accept a bid for the entire amount, but rarely is life so straightforward, these days. The waters are now muddied!
The reality is that there is the demand for such amounts in one sale. But the real question is, "do the IMF want to sell it in one go?" We now have to wait and see.
The impact on the gold price, whichever way it goes is clear.

Will the wild young Lise fight for her love despite her desperately overprotective mother? Will she marry her beloved Colas? Or will she listen to her mother's words and accept Alain who is wealthy but a little bit "out of his head"?
La Fille mal gardée (The Wayward Daughter) is one of the oldest ballets (it was created in 1789), it is still widely staged and hugely popular. Why is that? Because it celebrates the joy of life and – above all – love. It is colorful and full of humor, dancers make audiences smile.
This masterpiece of Frederick Ashton is inspired by the older French ballet of Jean Dauberval. We are invited to a picturesque countryside similar to Suffolk, a place dear to Ashton's heart. The sets resemble cartoons, we enjoy folk festivities, dancing hens and a live pony and are drawn into a merry summer atmosphere. Despite its joyful character the work is technically highly demanding, there are difficult pas de deux and solos, expressing the passionate nature of the young lovers. A fascinating comedy, pure pleasure, intoxication by dance! Very suitable for children!

"Choose Jewish" Jewish Education in France Gets a Boost
This is the appetizer that you must prepare this Yom Tov (and you can put it in the freezer today). We've been enjoying this taco-and-salsa combo all summer. But now you're in on the secret too.
Short Rib Tacos
This version is originally from Secret Restaurant Recipes. It's the same recipe that's used at Reserve Cut. You can use a cut of meat that's cheaper, but cook it longer (always make sure there's plenty of liquid in the pan) so it gets super soft.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 pounds lean beef short ribs, cut into 3-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 (16-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup house made barbeque sauce
1 cup beef stock
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
24 mini taco shells
Mango salsa, recipe below
1. Preheat oven to 325ºF.
2. Heat oil over medium heat in a large, heavy, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, and brown the ribs on all sides, about 5 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Sprinkle ribs with salt and black pepper as they brown. Transfer cooked ribs to paper towels to blot up extra oil.
3. Stir in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Mix in tomato sauce, barbeque sauce, beef stock, apple cider, and mustard; bring the sauce to a boil, and simmer for 1 minute to blend flavors. Stir in the browned ribs.
4. Cover the pot, and bake in the preheated oven until the rib meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Turn the ribs occasionally while cooking.
5. Hand shred beef. Season with salt and pepper. Return to a pan with some of the cooking sauce and cook until warm. Stuff into taco shells. Serve with mango salsa on the side.
Mango Salsa
The trick here is the small dice. Be patient and put your best knife skills forward. Dont skimp or rush, the size makes all of the difference, for presentation and taste.
1 firm mango, diced small
1 red pepper, diced small
1 orange pepper, diced small
1 Granny Smith Apple, diced small (don't peel)
1 small red onion, diced small
Bunch of parsley, chopped finely
Mint, chopped finely (optional but highly recommended)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon honey
Pinch of hot pepper flakes
Dash of salt
Combine all ingredients. This salad is great served with any meat or fish. Because of the tiny dice it will keep well for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Note: Some hold that tiny diced salad shouldn't be cut on Shabbat. Please ask your LOR.
Super Tip! Want to make shredded meat from your leftover roast?
A brick roast shreds perfect well! In a baking pan, cover your leftover roast with water. Cover and bake for a few hours. It will get super soft. Shred and mix with some barbecue sauce (we recommend KC Masterpiece).

Posts Tagged 'The Big Picture'
The Skill of Our Hands by Steven Brust and Skyler White
published January 2017
where I got it: purchased new
I went into this book thinking "Yes! More Ren and Phil!!". Alas, that was not to be the case, as on page one, Phil gets shot and is down for the count for a little while. No adorableness between Ren and Phil? What was I going to do?
Enjoy the hell out of everyone else getting the spotlight, that's what.
Ren, Phil, you two know I love you, right? Because I totally do. But I am pleased as punch that Oskar and Irina (and Kate!!) get to be the stars of the show for once.
Wait, wait wait a minute. If you have not read The Incrementalists, full stop, go and read it RIGHT NOW. firstly, because that novel is gorgeously awesome, and secondly because this review will make no sense at all and also will spoil tons of good stuff.
Me telling you that Phil, who is now Chuck, gets shot at the beginning of this new novel doesn't spoil anything for you, and if you've read The Incrementalists you'll know it doesn't really spoil too much for Phil either. Ren knows she'll find him again, but in the meantime she's inconsolable yet still attempting to meddle. As Incrementalists do when they are facing a crisis (because death, although annoying and impermanent for them, is still a crisis!), everyone comes together. There will be arguing, shouting, meddling, gardening, incredible meals, probably some flirting, and does anyone but Irina ever remember to go to the grocery store?
One of the many things I loved about The Skill of our Hands was how the story is presented. That sounds so simple, I know, but hear me out. This is Oskar's novel, and as he observes Ren, Irina, and everyone else involved with planning what to do now, Oskar interrupts the narrative whenever he damn pleases to make sure you're aware of his opinion, or aware that he agrees with someone, or aware that he is so deeply sorry that he didn't trust someone or didn't believe them. There's a much bigger picture here that he needs you to see, even if he can't point to it directly. You'd think his comments might be interruptive, but they totally aren't. It works perfectly, and it gives the reader this really intimate relationship with Oskar. If I ever have a crisis, I want to have an Oskar on speed dial. Alongside everything that's going on, Phil's memories are being explored, specifically his memories of being in Kansas in the mid 1850's. This book has an earworm you're going to love.

An important part of living a low-waste lifestyle is having low-waste hobbies. The more time you spend doing things that are naturally low-waste, the easier the lifestyle will be for you.
Here is a list of some fun past times that are not only low-waste, but are good for the environment in other ways as well.
If you are unsure or nervous about getting involved in a new hobby, don't worry, all these hobbies are easier to get started in than you think.
1. Upcycling
Upcycling is a great hobby for creative individuals who like crafts and DIY projects. Upcycling involves creatively reusing items by transforming them into something new and useful. Like turning an old tire into a belt, glass jars into an herb planter, or just creating art pieces from used materials.
How it is good for the environment: Upcycling allows you to give a new purpose to something useless, rather than throwing it away. It keeps trash out of the landfills and prevents unnecessary consumption by letting you make products out of used materials, rather than buying new items.
How to get started: Use sites like Pinterest or upcycling blogs, like upcyclethat.com, to find ideas and tutorials. You can even get inspiration from other upcyclers in your area at a meetup. After some experience you will be able to come up with your own ideas and hopefully notice a reduction in your waste.
2. Hiking
Hiking is my hobby of choice. When I'm not working I try to be on a trail. Hiking is an excellent workout and studies have shown that it combats the symptoms of stress and anxiety and boosts creativity. It allows you to experience gorgeous natural sights which gives you a better appreciation for nature.
How it is good for the environment: It is so easy to go on zero-waste hikes. Just bring water and snacks in reusable containers. Hiking fosters an appreciation for nature and an interest in the environment. The public being interested in hiking generates a demand for healthy national parks and undeveloped natural areas.
Natural environments can be fragile, however, so fires need to be avoided of contained and wildlife must be undisturbed.
How to get started: It's best to start small and find some short, easy trails close to you. Take a friend and get acquainted with learning how to follow trail markings and navigate the outdoors.
As you improve you will be able to do more challenging hikes. You will meet other hobby hikers along the way who will point you towards the best hikes in your area.
You can also join a hiking club or attend hiking meetups in your area.
3. Gardening
I have been trying my hand at gardening since adopting a zero waste lifestyle because it is the best way to have complete control over your food waste.
I haven't completely cured y black thumb, but I am powering through.
When gardening is done correctly, you can have constant access to zero-waste food. Or, if you prefer a strictly aesthetic garden, that's great too.
Gardening has been shown to fight stress and is linked to better mental health. Studies have also suggested that gardening can help lower your risk of dementia.
How it is good for the environment: Vegetation absorbs atmospheric carbon, so the more you grow, the more you are offsetting your carbon footprint.
A lush garden provides a habitat from many life forms, like insects, and provides food for others, like birds and bees.
Growing a personal garden ensures that only natural fertilizers are used in your food, which benefits both you and the environment.
Plus, it goes hand-in-hand with a low-waste lifestyle, generating a supply of zero-waste food and providing a need for compost.
How to get started: You don't need a huge yard to start a garden. Large pots can hold a garden just as lush as any yard. If you do have a yard, clean up some space to allot to your garden.
Different climates promote different vegetation, so find out what plants are suitable for the soil and temperatures in your area.
Any garden store is a great place to start. Let an employee know what your garden goals and starting point are and they can provide you with some good information.
You can also strike up a conversation with a neighbor who has an impressive garden. Experienced gardeners love to share tips with novices.
You can also find plenty of online resources, like my favorite gardening blog Garden Betty.
4. Beekeeping
With dwindling bee populations, beekeeping is now more essential than ever. Backyard bee colonies are vital to increasing the population of wild bees.
But you won't only be benefiting bee populations, beekeeping provides you with a supply of fresh honey. Along with its great taste, honey is also anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, which gives it a variety of beneficial uses in the home.
Beekeeping a hobby also pairs well with gardening, as a bee colony will ensure that your garden yields as much produce as possible.
How it is good for the environment: Honey bees are essential to our environment. They are responsible for pollinating about a quarter of the food that we eat.
Since the discovery of Colony Collapse Disorder, many scientists have tried to estimate what would happen if bees were to become extinct. While some believe that human life may be dependent on the existence of bees, all agree that most of our plants and many of our food crops would die off with the bees.
Beekeeping can help preserve bee populations and crops. One bee colony can pollinate 300 million flowers each day.
How to get started: Believe it or not, you can actually buy a colony of bees online and have it shipped to your door. You really can buy anything online these days.
Most beekeeping supplies can also be purchased from online stores, like Kelley Beekeeping.
Because beekeeping can be a bit challenging, beekeeping courses can be found online or at a college in your area. It is a good idea to a least read some online instructional material before purchasing a hive.
After you have your hive you can join online communities, like Reddit, to share tips and stories with other beekeepers.
5. Cooking
Because cooking at home is a critical part of a low-waste lifestyle, you might as well get some enjoyment out of it by turning it into a hobby.
How it is good for the environment: Cooking at home allows you to have better control over your waste than eating out does.
It also allows you to make better environmental choices by purchasing all your own ingredients. That way you can ensure that you are purchasing foods that are organic, fair-trade, Non-GMO, etc.
How to get started: First, you will have to bring the food into your house in a low-waste fashion. Wether it be growing your own food, shopping a bulk food stores, or applying low-waste practices at the supermarket.
Once your low-waste food is in the house, you will need to find some recipes. The amount of online resources out there for cooking novices is endless. Pinterest, Reddit, Instagram, blogs, YouTube, recipe sites, the list is endless. Find people who inspire you and recreate their recipes. It's that simple.
Over time you will develop your own ideas and transform them into delicious recipes.
Now get out there and find a low-waste hobby that you enjoy. Comment below if you have any low-waste hobbies that you want to share.

BOSTON, Mass. - Already with the career scoring record, Derek Triana (Port St. Lucie, Fla.) set a new single season mark with his 14th goal in a 3-0 rout by the Regis (Mass.) men's soccer team at Emerson in non-conference action Monday at Rotch Field. The Pride closes the regular season at 9-7-1 and now turns its attention to Mount Ida in a GNAC quarterfinal matchup on Sunday.
Triana's record-breaking goal came in the 12th minute which proved to be the gamewinner. Taking a pass from Ken Niyonzima (Burlington, Mass.), he drilled a shot into the upper 90 past Lion goalkeeper Lucas Fischer (Atlanta, Ga.).
Fabyano Furbino (Port St. Lucie, Fla.), who looked to be a scratch after an ankle injury suffered against Emmanuel on Saturday, scored the other two goals to help put the game away. In the 34th minute, after Daniel Montoya (Revere, Mass.) broke away down the middle of the pitch, he slipped a pass to an open Furbino in the left side of the box who fired a shot past Fischer's reach.
In the 84th minute, Furbino notched his second goal of the game after he caught Fischer out of position and fired the ball into the lower right hand corner.
Pride keeper Jesse Bonilla (Ramona, Calif.) bookended the regular season with his second shutout, making six saves in a near full 90 minutes of action. Fischer posted three saves in net for Emerson (4-10-2).
Regis will have five full days off before its quarterfinal matchup at Mount Ida on Sunday, Oct. 29. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. Emerson concludes its regular season campaign on Saturday, Oct. 28 and welcomes MIT for a NEWMAC tilt slated for a 1:00 p.m. start.

Roy Hodgson: Wayne Rooney an important player for England
England head coach Roy Hodgson believes captain Wayne Rooney will be "a player we need to depend upon" at this summer's European Championship in France.
Rooney's form for Manchester United had been a source of concern before the turn of the year, with the striker going eight games without finding the net in the Premier League earlier this season.
However, he has rediscovered his goalscoring touch with seven goals in eight games in all competitions in 2016, much to Hodgson's relief.
Roy Hodgson, right, is pleased Wayne Rooney has rediscovered his goalscoring touch with Manchester United
"We are pleased Wayne has pulled himself out of that trough," Hodgson said of England's all-time record goalscorer on the BBC's Match of the Day programme.
"He's an important player, our captain and a player we need to depend upon for the Euros."
Hodgson also paid tribute to the form of Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Leicester's Jamie Vardy - although he was keeping his cards close to his chest over his preferred selections.
"We have a lot of possibilities in terms of formation," said Hodgson.
"We can play in a diamond, or with one centre forward, and the big thing is Kane and Vardy who have both been such a sensation."
Another area where England have plenty of options is the goalkeeping slot.
While Manchester City's Joe Hart is in possession of the number one jersey, Jack Butland has made several impressive performances for Stoke in this campaign and Fraser Forster has marked his return from a serious knee injury with six consecutive clean sheets.
Hodgson added: "Having him (Forster) and Joe (Hart) and Jack (Butland) means we are as strong as England have been.
"I tried to keep in touch with the players. Fraser is a very good character. Joe is playing well, Jack is playing well."

Driving in Japan?
Driving in Japan
Especially if you come from a vast country like Canada or the US, road conditions in Japan — a smallish, heavily urbanized nation — will be quite different. If you are moving to a city and do not plan on taking too many trips, it is probably better to opt out of driving completely. Public transportation is very good in Japanese cities, whereas it is virtually non-existent in rural areas. Therefore, if you want or need to travel outside major cities on a regular basis, the use of your own car is a necessity.
It is said that the style of driving in Japan is both chaotic and very polite. This is not always true, and it is best to find out how you fit into local traffic by simply staying on the defensive and using extreme caution. Japanese roads are also rather narrow. It may be often the case that one almost has to drive in the ditch to avoid a head-on collision with an oncoming car.
Road Infrastructure in Japan
There are over 1.2 million kilometers of roads in Japan, about 8,000 of which are expressways. As Japan is technologically very advanced, most national roads and expressways have electronic speed limit and notice signs. They keep you up to date on traffic congestion and accidents, two of the daily side effects of driving in Japan.
Japan has an excellent network of national expressways which crisscross the islands. Since the expressways were largely built on debt, they are now toll roads. This helps to regain construction costs little by little through contributions from motorists.
Most expressways measure toll by the distance a vehicle has travelled. A toll booth upon entering the expressway gives you a ticket which you pay upon exiting. Japan also introduced an Electronic Toll Collection card system to avoid long lines at toll stations. The toll due is also dependant on the type of vehicle, for example, a truck or a passenger car.
Apart from the national expressways, Japan has urban expressways, which are intra-city expressways that can be found in most large urban areas. Because of the lack of space in Japanese cities, these expressways are often constructed as viaducts above other roads. The largest urban expressway networks can be found in the Tokyo and Osaka areas.
All expressway systems, whether national or urban, have been privatized due to the debt amassed while they were built. They are governed by different companies. All urban expressways operate on a flat rate toll system; unlike on national expressways, distance is irrelevant. However, driving in Japan nearly always comes at a price.
In addition to the expressway system, Japan has a nationwide system of national highways. These are up to the same standards as the modern expressways; yet do not require the payment of tolls. They are administered by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and other government agencies and are numbered by prefecture.
The Japan Automobile Federation
The Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) provides a traffic rules booklet which offers information on what specifically is different about driving in Japan. You can download a digital version of "Rules of the Road" in four different languages including English from the JAF website. If you do not have a good grasp of what to expect when driving in Japan, buying the booklet is highly recommended.
The JAF also provides roadside assistance to its members. Generally speaking, it aims to improve the quality of the environment, roads, and the overall experience of driving in Japan. Joining the JAF could prove to be a good idea for motorized expats.
We do our best to keep this article up to date. However, we cannot guarantee that the information provided is always current or complete.

Plastic Radomes
A radome (a combination of radar and dome) is a structural, weatherproof enclosure that protects a microwave or radar antenna. The radome is constructed of material that minimally attenuates the electromagnetic signal transmitted or received by the antenna. The radome is therefore transparent to radar or radio waves and serves to protect the antenna surfaces from the environment and conceal antenna electronic equipment from public view. They could also protect nearby personnel from being accidentally struck by rotating antennas. Radomes can be constructed in several shapes (spherical, geodesic, planar, etc.) depending upon the particular application using various construction materials. When used on UAVs or other aircraft, in addition to such protection, the radome also streamlines the antenna system, reducing drag & wind resistance.
Universal Plastics is a leading manufacturer of custom plastic radomes. We can manufacture radomes in sizes up to 7′ x 9′ x 36″ deep in materials including UV grade ABS, Korad capped ABS, TPO and many others.
Universal Plastics has done applications many industries including:

- Telecommunications
- Plus many more
With a variety of materials available, we can find a solution for your application. Also, thermoforming has significantly lower tooling costs with shorter lead times than other processes for large parts.
If you have a plastic radome requirement, we can assist you in the most cost effective design and thermoforming solution for your radome needs.

1. Total Employment and Public and Private Sector Employment in Scotland; Headcount (see Table 1)
Figure 1 provides a summary of total employment in Scotland and the breakdown of public and private sector employment. The public sector is defined according to the UK National Accounts Classifications Guide [1] .
Figure 1: Public and Private Sector Employment, Scotland, Q2 2016
Chart 1: Public Sector Employment in Scotland, Headcount, Q1 1999 - Q2 2016, non-seasonally adjusted
Chart 1 shows that the number of people employed in the public sector has remained relatively constant since Q1 2014. Excluding the effects of major reclassifications [2] , the number of people employed in the public sector gradually increased to a peak in Q2 2006, decreased to Q3 2013 and has remained relatively constant since then.
Chart 2 shows the annual change in employment for the public and private sectors.
Chart 2: Annual Change in Employment by Main Sector, Headcount
Impact of Excluding Major Reclassifications from Public Sector
If the major reclassifications [2] were to be excluded from the public sector series, there would be estimated to be 530,500 people employed in the public sector in Q2 2016. This would account for 20.2% of the total employment in Scotland (this compares to 20.7% if major reclassifications are included).
Public Sector employment excluding the effects of the major reclassifications, would have decreased by 1,100 (-0.2%) over the year to Q2 2016.
The major reclassifications are all included in the reserved public sector in Scotland; their impact in this sector is covered in section 4 of the publication.

Kaley Cuoco is married! The Big Bang Theory actress wed her professional equestrian partner Karl Cook on Saturday in a picture-perfect wedding.
The whole affair was an Instagramer's heaven, and the newlyweds were all too happy to share their day on social media.
"Good morning honey, I love you, and I'm sorry. I am still processing the greatest night of my life marrying the love of my life! I mean god damn that dress was amazing!" wrote the ecstatic groom on Instagram.
He was not wrong, Kaley's dress was spectacular! And just one of multiple looks the bride wore on the day.
The bubbly blonde's first wedding look featured a custom lace gown and matching tie-up cape by designer Reem Acara.
"Happy ever forever 💏 🐶 wearing custom @reemacra in my dream cape .. 💫 " the actress wrote on Instagram.
The couple were joined at the alter by their beloved pooch, Tank, who waddle down the aisle ahead of the bride. And then joined the newly-married couple as they made their way back up the aisle.
After the stunning evening ceremony, Kaley slipped into a second look of the day, a super cute plunging white Tadashi Shoji lace jumpsuit, ahead of the star-studded reception.
"Ok let's party!!! #kcsquared💋 💕," she wrote in a post that showed-off her second look.
A source told ET that Kaley's wedding was exactly what she dreamed it would be.
"She's so happy. It was perfect," the source says. "Everybody had a great time and danced all night. The entire day embodied Kaley and Karl."
According the source, Kaley also "felt beautiful."
On Sunday, the couple share a cute photo of themselves in matching denim jackets reading, "Together KC squared forever."
Kaley and Karl announced their engagement in December, last year.
The professional equestrian got on bended knee on the starlet's 32nd birthday.
Karl took to Instagram to share footage of a weeping Kaley just moments after he asked her to be his wife.
"Who knew my prior post was oracular. Well after nearly two years I finally got up the courage to ask her to marry me. This is the best night of my life and I think the video shows it is the best night for Kaley as well… of she said yes [sic]," he explained.
Karl then shared a snap of the stunning sparkler, writing, "I am so so so happy!"
"Thank you @nadis_diamonds for making the greatest ring I could hope for. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you thank you."
Karl and Kaley have been dating for nearly two years.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

text: The Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant was the first commercial nuclear power plant built in Austria. Although the power plant was completely built in the 1970s, the plant never went into service. This was due to an Austrian referendum which prevented the start-up of this plant and two others on November 5, 1978. Today, the plant is used as a nuclear research center.

This REU site will give a diverse group of students a cutting-edge research experience in a unique and timely research area, providing an effective avenue for attracting students to, and preparing them for, related fields of study, while simultaneously providing a better understanding of the current mental health in a developing country.
This year the program will run from May 18 - July 24, 2020, with 2 weeks at the end of May taking place in Ukraine and eight weeks in June/July taking place on the campus of Dordt University, in Sioux Center, Iowa. A $5,000 stipend will be provided along with free on-campus housing. We will also cover travel costs to and from campus at the beginning and end of the program, travel costs to and from Ukraine, as well as other travel costs incurred as part of the program (e.g. travel to conferences to present research results).
A passport is required to travel to Ukraine. Current wait-time for passports is six weeks (three weeks for expedited service).
The Program Directors are aware of tensions in Ukraine and know the political climate can change at any time. Therefore, we keep close watch of what is happening in Ukraine and regularly check the travel advice provided by the US Department of State. Alternate locations are available for us to conduct the program.
More than just a ten-week experience
For students participating in the research program, their experience goes well beyond the typical summer research program. Critical components of our program are to bring research results forward to publication in leading peer-reviewed journals and to present our work at national and international conferences in related fields. Most students participating in our program use it as a stepping stone to Ph.D. programs in statistics, biostatistics, statistical genetics, bioinformatics and other related disciplines. many students participating in our program use it as a stepping stone to advanced study in related disciplines.
We take to heart the motto "Work Hard. Play Hard." With many students conducting research on Dordt's campus each summer, social and recreational opportunities abound both on campus and in the surrounding area.
What background do I need to apply?
This is an interdisciplinary research experience that is looking for students from a wide variety of backgrounds. A curious intellect and general interest in the research topics are the primary pre-requisites. That said, interdisciplinary research teams will be constructed with an eye towards including students with one or more of the following specific areas of interest (1) Statistics/Biostatistics/Public Health and (2) Psychology/Psychiatry. Additionally, some computer programming (statistical or otherwise) and some knowledge of Ukrainian culture/politics/history are a plus, but should certainly not preclude submitting an application. Each summer we look to hire a set of students with a diverse set of strengths and backgrounds so there are few, if any, specific prerequisites.

Report: Crawley Town 2-3 Millwall
MILLWALL made it three successive pre-season wins with a 3-2 defeat of Crawley at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Lee Gregory nodded Millwall in front before Enzio Boldewijn quickly equalised.
Crawley enjoyed most of the possession in the first half as Millwall struggled to create much in front of goal, and Dermot Drummy's side went 2-1 up when winger Jordan Roberts finished from close range.
Millwall were more urgent after the break and Shaun Williams levelled when he headed home Shane Ferguson's free-kick.
Steve Morison put Millwall back in front four minutes from time when he nodded Ferguson's cross past substitute goalkeeper Mitchell Beeney.
Neil Harris named a stronger side than he had in the first two pre-season friendlies. Gregory and Morison started up front with Shaun Hutchinson partnering Byron Webster in the centre of defence and Jimmy Abdou in midfield.
Gregory put Millwall ahead in the 17th minute when he headed Morison's cross from the right past Yusuf Mersin into the far corner.
Crawley were level a few minutes later when Boldewijn was given too much time in the box to shift the ball to his left foot and fire past Jordan Archer.
The home side went in front in the 34th minute when James Collins muscled past Webster in the box before cutting inside and squaring for Roberts who tapped the ball into an empty net.
Aiden O'Brien almost brought Millwall level a few minutes later but his volley from Gregory's header zipped just wide of Mersin's post.
Harris made one change at half-time with David Forde coming on to replace Archer.
At the other end Gregory had the chance to pull Millwall level but on-loan Chelsea keeper Beeney stuck out a leg to divert the ball away.
Harris brought on Ferguson for Gregg Wylde for the Northern Ireland international's first appearance in pre-season as the Lions looked for an attacking spark.
Ferguson made an immediate impact, and it was from his free-kick from wide on the left that Williams rose to plant a header over Beeney.
Harris introduced Fred Onyedinma, Ben Thompson and David Worrall with 20 minutes left.
Worrall tested Beeney with a drive from 25 yards but the goalkeeper gathered comfortably.
But Morison ensured a third win in a row and a third headed goal of the game when he beat Beeney from Ferguson's delivery.
Ferguson could have made it four before the final whistle but his half-volley came back off the post.

Here it goes!
find a ROM that is designed for the same CPU type and the same phone manufacturer. Any stock Gingerbread, ICS, or CyanogenMod 7/9 ROM should work, but you'll have to make sure your phone can handle the ROM – no ICS for an HTC Hero, for example. Also, your Port ROM's original Phone should have the same RESOLUTION with that of your phone's.
You will need:
**a compression program (WinZip or 7zip and etc)
**the ROM you want to port to your phone (let's call it the "Port ROM")
**a ROM designed for your phone (let's call it"Base ROM")
On your PC, extract the .ZIP files containing the two ROMs, and navigate to /system/app in your extracted Port ROM and copy stk.apk, vpnservices.apk, camera.apk, and bluetooth.apk into a temporary directory somewhere else on your PC.
Now, delete the following folders from your Port ROM and replace them with the ones from your Base ROM: /data, /system/app, /system/framework, /system/fonts and /system/media.
From your Base ROM, copy /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so to the system/lib/ directory of your Port ROM, overwriting the file.
Next up, move the .APKs you copied earlier back into the /system/app directory of your Port ROM.
Open up /system/lib in your Port ROM and copy all the files and folders. Paste them into the Base's /system/lib directory, replacing all. Then go back to the Port ROM and delete the /system/lib folder, and replace it with the /system/lib folder from the Base ROM.
Next, navigate to the /system/etc/init.d folder in the Port ROM and do the same copy-from-Port, paste-to-Base, delete-from-Port, copy-from-Base, paste-to-Port shuffle as before.
Navigate to /system/etc/permissions and do that same copy-paste dance one more time.
open system/build.prop from both the port and the base ROM in Notepad++. Update the Base build.prop to match the values for "ro.build.description=" and "ro.build.fingerprint=" from your Port. Now save the Base build.prop, exit Notepad++, and copy the Base build.prop into the Port ROM, overwriting the Port build.prop.
In Notepad++, open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from both your base and port ROMs. Edit the Port's script to be like the Base's updater-script: specifically, change, edit, or add the sections for permissions, ui_prints, asserts, run_programs, and installing the kernel. Don't change any of the symlinks. In the Port script, make sure that the 'format' values are appropriate for your device (compare them to the Base script).
Finally, make sure that your kernel is specifically for your device.
And that's it! Your base ROM is now ready to be zipped and installed on your device via Clockwork Mod!
