Saving Electricity

This is a project we've been working on for five years or so: reducing our electricity usage. This reduces our bill, first and foremost. It also reduces our carbon footprint, saving the earth a little bit. There is no downside to conserving electricity. There is literally no reason not to. It's a great minimalist activity. It's also kind of fun. We are always waiting with anticipation to see our newest bill, to see if we're winning or not. We judge winning based on our electric bill for the same month in the previous year. For example, if our electric usage for January 2018 is less than it was for January 2017, we're winning. You don't have to keep old bills to do this. Your electricity company probably has a website where you can log in and see your past usage for a certain number of years. Ours goes back to 2012, so we can see graphs of our usage over the 12 month period and compare it to what's current. Look yours up and see what it's like. Have you been using more energy recently, or less?

This is an ongoing project with a lot of little details. Looking over this long list won't seem very minimalist, but a lot of these are one-time tasks that you'll never have to do again unless you move to a new house. Once they're done, they're done. Others are once-a-year tasks, while a few are behavior modifications (like turning off light switches or taking shorter showers). You can't do them all at once unless you're not broke, so take a look over the list and see which ones you can mark off right now. Then, come back to this post in a few weeks and see what else you can accomplish. Keep an eye on your bill, so you'll see the immediate benefits.

Turn off the lights: This one is an easy behavior modification. Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Turn off the lights when you leave the house. Yes, even the porch light. It might give you the illusion of security, but trust me: if a burglar wants to get into your house, a porch light won't stop them. Turn it off. If you really feel unsafe without it, get a solar motion-sensor light. Sleep your computer, too. If you aren't already in the habit, start today. Turn lights off.

Replace all your bulbs with LED bulbs: this is an investment up front, but with a potentially significant payoff. As your incandescent or CFL bulbs begin to die, go ahead and replace them one at a time with good quality LED light bulbs. They use a fraction of the electricity and will last for years and years. You'll save on bulb replacements and on electricity usage. Now, that doesn't mean you can leave them on all the time. Continue turning off lights when you leave the room, even if they are LED ones.

Take shorter showers: you are paying to heat that water. Don't empty the tank every time you shower. Five minutes is all you need. You'll save water, too.

Insulate everything: This is the one that will make the most difference, as climate control is the biggest energy drain in almost every house. Add weather stripping, caulk and insulation to every nook and cranny you can find. This will keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing A/C costs year round. Be creative with canned spray foam. Use paintable caulk to fill in cracks and then hide them. Buy some cheap light switch/outlet gaskets, they only cost a few cents each and pay for themselves. Get a fiberglass blanket for your water heater. Inspect your windows carefully and eliminate any gaps. If you have a nice financial windfall and you own your house, replacing windows can make a huge difference to your bills.

Cover your windows: Even if you have newish windows, and especially if you don't, invest in heavy thermal curtains or blackout curtains. These will block UV light in summer, keeping your house a few degrees cooler. You can still open them to let light in, but keep the ones on the side of the house the sun is shining on closed. In winter, they are heavy enough to block out some of the cold. Open them during the day to let sunlight warm your house, then shut them tight when the sun goes down. Get some window kits and cover your windows with the plastic. If you can't find any, get some cheap clear shower curtains from the dollar store and nail them up underneath your curtains. Tape the edges with masking tape. This will trap the cold air away, and you can take them down in the spring.

Maintain your appliances: Have your furnace and a/c inspected and tuned up annually. Clean your fridge coils. If you use your dryer, and you shouldn't if you can help it, make sure the lint trap and vent hose are clear. An appliance that isn't running efficiently uses more electricity than necessary and can even be a fire hazard. Invest in the most energy efficient ones you can afford. If you're broke like us, keep using the ones you have until they just won't go anymore.

Don't use your dryer: Clothes dryers, as we've said, are a frivolous waste of electricity. Air dries things for free. Hang your clothes out in the sun, or in your house if it's rainy or below freezing outside. This will be a not-insignificant savings. You'll probably see a drop of 20 bucks on your bill if you stop completely.

Use ceiling fans properly: In summer, ceiling fans should rotate counterclockwise on a high speed. Fans don't cool the air, but they make us feel cooler by the process of evaporation. In the summer, use them to full advantage. In the winter, they should run clockwise on the lowest setting. Hot air rises, so this will gently blow the warmer air down to your level. If you aren't in a room, turn the ceiling fan off just as you would a light.

Use electric blankets in winter: These only use a few watts and you’ll stay super cozy. Or at least, your dog will when he steals it.

Air dry your dishes: just like the clothes dryer, letting your dishwasher dry your dishes is wasteful. If you use the dishwasher, put it on air dry. If yours is a bajillion years old and doesn't have that setting, just stop it after the wash cycle and open the door so your dishes can dry.

Check your thermostat: In the summer, keep it as warm as you possibly can stand. For us this is about 78 degrees. Yes, really. You won't die. Wear some shorts, use your ceiling fans. Take a cool shower. You'll be fine. In winter avoid using your furnace unless it's very cold. We had planned to keep ours set to around 60 degrees, until we figured out that it was broken. Instead we are using electric space heaters to heat only the room we are in at the time. If you do use your furnace, keep it set as cool as you can stand and bundle up against the chill. Use electric blankets on your bed to stay toasty at night, they use only a few watts and will keep you warmer than if you try to heat the surrounding air anyway.

Find energy vampires: these are devices that use standby power when they are off. The clock on your microwave, for example. Unplug that shit. That's wasted money. Your cable box, tv and dvd player probably do too; put those on a power strip and turn it off when you're done watching. We actually unplug all our crap. Our washer and dryer are unplugged right now. So are the tv and Fire Stick, the microwave, the crock pot, and the lamp in the living room. You don't have to be crazy like us, but if you think a device is using power when it's off, even if it's just to keep a little blinking light on, unplug it.

Get rid of hair dryers and curling irons: your hair will dry. These things waste energy and are also fire and burn hazards. We remember having our grandma burn the crap out of our head with a big old 70's hair dryer when we were a kid (in the 90's, btw). We'd complain that it was too hot, she'd ignore us, and two days later our scalp would start peeling. These things are dangerous. If you want curly hair, get a set of sponge curlers. They were good enough for grandma and they're good enough for you.

Use the microwave: as much as possible, cook things in the microwave instead of on the stove or in the oven. The microwave uses the least electricity of these.

Get rid of scented plug ins: throw that crap away. Get some scented candles. Done.

Open your blinds and curtains during the day: the sun provides plenty of light, so you shouldn't need to turn on lights until after dark. Open up your blinds to let the sunlight in so you can see, and so it can warm your house in winter. In summer, close the blinds/curtains on the side of the house where the sun is, to block out the extra heat.

Open your windows in the evening in the summer: When it's hot during the day, keep the windows shut and the curtains pulled, at least on the side where the sun is shining in. After the sun goes down, if it's cooler outside than inside, open your windows and doors to let the cool night air in. Shut them before the sun comes up and trap the nice cool air inside. It'll stay cool for a few hours before you have to turn the A/C on. We do not recommend sleeping with your door open, ftr. If you've got mosquitoes, get screens.

Trap your desired temperature: If you've got open doorways between rooms where there aren't actual doors, hang curtains or blankets there to keep your climate controlled air from escaping into other parts of the house. We use clear shower curtains in winter to trap heat in our living room. We don't need to heat the kitchen if we aren't in the kitchen, right? You can do this with air conditioning too if you've got a window unit. If you aren't using central but you still have air registers in your house, cover them with plastic. Do not cover air registers in unused rooms if you are using the central, this is bad for your unit and duct work. Just let them blow.

Dress for the season: if it's 90 degrees outside, wear shorts and a tank top and put your thermostat on 78. If it's 10 degrees outside, bundle up in layers and wool socks and put your thermostat on 60. You will be fine. You will acclimate, even. We promise.

Wash your clothes in cold water: heating water uses electricity. Unless you're washing something that's very greasy, use cold water.

Use the eco settings on everything: Your computer probably has this, so does your tv. Use this setting on every device that offers it.

Shade your roof: with deciduous trees. That is, ones that lose their leaves in the winter. You gain a lot of heat from the sun shining directly on your roof in the summer, so you want it to be shaded by trees so your house stays a little cooler. In winter you want that extra warmth hitting your house, though. If you don't already have trees growing this can be a very long-term project. If you own the property, do some research on the subject and plant some good, hardy trees in strategic locations.

Shade your A/C: air conditioning is by far the biggest energy hog in your house. It'll run more efficiently if it's not in direct sunlight, so plant some shade trees.

Use space heaters: Leave your furnace off and use space heaters to heat only the room you are in, rather than the whole house. (Make sure your pipes are insulated first.) This will save lots of energy. If, however, you do need to heat the whole house, do not use space heaters to do so. Not only will you have a ridiculous bill, you'll likely burn your house down.

(Yeah that’s our furniture-free bedroom, but that’s another post!

Turn off the furnace/air conditioner when you are away: There's a myth that says it takes more energy to heat your house up if it's gotten cold than if you just leave the heat running constantly. This is 100% false. If you leave, turn everything off. Even if you're gone for eight hours for work, your house isn't likely to be freezing inside when you get back. It'll heat back up within twenty minutes or so, and it won't use more electricity that way. So turn it off when you leave.

Hibernate in winter: When the weather’s cold, pick one room to heat and stay in there rather than moving around. If you’ve got a family your body heat will keep the room even warmer. You can play board games or do puzzles. We hibernate in our bedroom during winter and mostly abandon the rest of the house. We venture out occasionally for food or to pee, but we come back quickly.

There are other things you can do, but these are the ones we've found that make the most difference. We'll post results as we try new things so everyone can see. Shaving money off our utility bill has made the most difference to our finances recently. When we first moved here we got a $500 electric bill for August, the hottest month here. We'd reduced that to $57 by November. Now that it's cold and we've been using space heaters instead of the fire, we're up to $85 or so. If we can stay under $100 for the rest of the winter that'll be significant.

You can make a difference right now. Go turn something off.

Hunter Wellies - Your Style Statement 2010

Hunter rubber rain boots are legendary boots that originated in Scotland and have absolutely been around since the 1800's. They are one of the most popular women's rain boots and with good simple reason. Their quality is unsurpassed, and their design is classic and long sustained.

When picking the correct camouflage outerwear it likewise be vital that keep the seasons in your mind.

Using a 16 gauge Luis bags a much bigger hare as compared to first, which he had glimpsed hopping while using alfalfa. Three of us had spotted four at about the same time on both sides on the truck, but only Luis hit his unwilling recipient.

Exactly what are the best socks to use for sporting activity

For the significant professional athlete, socks have actually become identified as an essential part of footwear that can identify the difference in between success or failure on the playing field. Unfortunately, for the sporting activities medication expert, the role of socks in preventing injury as well as in boosting efficiency is misinterpreted and also usually overlooked in treatment protocols.

Entertainment and affordable professional athletes could obtain advanced information on sock fiber technology and also building methods from premium showing off goods suppliers as well as technical publications peculiar to their sporting activity. On the other hand, healthcare specialists get no formal training on the topics of footwear or hosiery, yet, they are contacted regularly to give information to people and also the lay public in these unknown disciplines. Not surprising that that physicians as well as podiatric doctors are frequently estimated in consumer publications giving wrong details about socks and footwear.

It is revitalizing to see the topic of "socks" consisted of in this detailed program of topics about the area of podiatric sports medicine.

Historic Review:

There were essentially no original scientific posts referring to hosiery released in the medical literary works till 1989. After that, almost overnight, medical researchers recognized that major breakthroughs had been made during the 1980s in the fields of fiber modern technology and sock construction methods. Hosiery now resembles high-tech sporting activities tools with possible clinical applications. A lot of researches were carried out on various client populations, including professional athletes, to establish the role of hosiery in avoiding pedal pathologies.

A collection of articles released by Andrew Boulton as well as Arisites Veves at the Manchester Royal Infirmary documented the protective effect of leg wear on the feet of diabetic person as well as arthritic individuals. At the same time, Herring and Richie published their research studies demonstrating the prevalence of acrylic fibers over cotton fibers in stopping the frequency and also severity of rubbing blisters in running athletes.

A significant quantity of published research study then adhered to, documenting efforts to utilize hosiery products to treat various medical conditions. Ufer and co-workers studied the impact of hosiery to heat the feet of people with abnormal quadriplegia. Wolfe as well as Palladino conducted a research to determine the result of hosiery on rubbing blisters as well as racquetball gamers. The effect of over-the-calf sports socks to minimize swelling in the feet as well as legs was reported by Brown as well as Brown.

The USA military, afflicted with ever-increasing blister frequency in military employees, carried out their very own research recording the capacity of numerous sock systems to reduce friction blisters. These prospective researches demonstrated the highest degree of scientific investigation attempting to determine the impact of numerous sock fiber combinations on the feet of a large number of human subjects took part in marching and running.

The principles shown and also confirmed by these studies is the foundation of this discussion. The disciplines covered are those of most interest to the sports medicine healthcare professional: fiber modern technology, rubbing sores, sporting activities certain difficulties as well as shoe-fitting applications.

Socks as well as Foot Pathologies

The complying with foot pathologies can be straight affected by the type of leg wear used by the professional athlete:

Toenails: subungual hematoma, onychomycosis, onychogryphosis

Integument: friction sores, hyperkeratoses, heloma dura/molle

Infections: dermatophyte, yeast, microorganisms, viral (verruca).

Mechanical or Shear Generated Injury of Subcutaneous tissue: capsulitis, bursitis, calcaneal fat pad degeneration.

Mechanical or Shear Injury Against Bone Importance: retrocalcaneal exostosis, sesamoiditis, hallux valgus, tailor's bunion, accessory navicular, tibial crest periostitis, medial and side malleolar contusion.

Reasons:.

The forces involved in generating those tissue injuries include ground reaction forces, tangential shearing pressures, and a mix of pressure and also shear caused by sports shoes.

Various researchers have demonstrated that ground response pressures could come close to or surpass 3 times body weight in a running athlete. Additionally, upright plantar pressures against the calcaneus and metatarsals are dramatically raised in the running professional athlete in addition to unique patient populations with foot deformities, i.e., rheumatoid joint inflammation and diabetes mellitus with neuropathy.

Shearing pressures arise from forward or sideways momentum of the professional athlete whether strolling, leaping, running, or lunging. Spence as well as Shields determined four kinds of dynamic forces that can be related to running gait: upright forces, fore and aft shear, lateral shear, and also torque. Shearing force on the skin surface of the foot is worsened by the type of playing surface, type of footwear, sort of sole, and also kind of sock material. Shearing forces are believed to be much more damaging to the feet compared to ground responses forces. The mix of unusual pressure as well as shear results in the development of friction blisters in professional athletes as well as ulcerations on the feet of individuals with diabetic issues mellitus.

In addition to the unusual forces produced by the particular activities of the sport, the sort of shoes put on by the athlete could produce unique destructive pressure and shear in particular locations of the feet or legs. The following special kinds of sports footwear and the numerous places of potential skin or deep cells damages are highlighted in the adhering to tables.

The Fiber Tale.

The capability of a sock to dissipate damaging pressures externally of the foot relaxes partly on the fiber make-up and also more considerably on the building and construction technique of the producer. It is the lack of understanding of fiber innovation that leads most healthcare experts to make erroneous referrals to their individuals regarding choice for showing off activities.

Fibers that take in wetness are called hydrophilic while fibers driving away moisture are hydrophobic. Cotton fiber retains 3 times the wetness of acrylic and also fourteen times the moisture of CoolMax ®. When exposed to ambient air, socks composed of cotton maintain dampness 10 times longer compared to acrylic. In coming down order of hydrophilic position, the following fibers are detailed: cotton, wool, acrylic, CoolMax ®, polypropylene

. During preliminary activity, moisture absorption from the feet ends up being a preferable function. In sports activity, sweat result on the feet could exceed one pint per foot. A large part of this wetness may really build up in the feet as it is produced in other places on the body surface and also leaks down the legs due to gravity. However, this volume of fluid much surpasses the absorbent ability of any sock product. Consequently, to minimize moisture buildup on the skin surface, the sock has to set up a wicking slope to the footwear.

Ideally, a wicking slope happens when the footwear upper is breathable (i.e., nylon mesh) to ensure that ambient air urges evaporation of water vapor. A lot more typically, a footwear liner or upper will certainly include hydrophilic fibers that draw moisture from the hydrophobic sock product. Socks that are incredibly hydrophobic (i.e., polypropylene) are thought to drive away water so efficiently that wicking can not happen. Socks of intermediate hydrophobic range, i.e., wool and also acrylic, permit motion of water but will not absorb and maintain water like cotton fibers will. Degrees of hydrophobic qualities alone, however, don't figure out overall wicking capability.

The mechanical structure of the fiber as well as compressibility of the fiber will figure out general wicking capacity. CoolMax ® fibers have actually four networks developed into their cross-sectional geometry giving a 20% greater border location than conventional round fibers. The result is greater water/vapor transport through enhanced surface area exposure for capillary action.

All-natural fibers (cotton-wool) when packed with dampness, press more quickly than artificial fibers (acrylic, CoolMax ®). Thus, cotton and wool socks have a greater resistance to sweat transport of wicking. When damp, acrylic fibers swell less than 5% while cotton swells 45% as well as wool swells 35%. Puffy fibers that are compressed reduce air rooms and also hence lower moisture transport. Thus, cotton socks display a 2.4 times higher resistance to wetness transport.

When integrating hydrophobic qualities and also mechanical fiber high qualities, the fibers that wick wetness best are, from finest to worst: CoolMax ®, acrylic, polypropylene

, woollen, cotton. In researches conducted on runners using synthetic fiber socks vs. cotton socks, other substantial differences appeared relating to preferability of fiber structure. Cotton fiber socks, when wet, were observed to stretch as well as lose their form inside the footwear. This resulted in bunching and wrinkling of the socks compared with acrylic fiber socks. After multiple wash-wear cycles, cotton fiber socks were noted to become abrasive causing prospective irritation on the skin surface of the athlete.

In some sport applications, the thermal-insulation top quality of the fiber composition ends up being critical. New synthetic fibers composed of a hollow core material known as Thermax ¨ have been shown to efficiently insulate against warmth loss. Natural wool fiber socks are still more effective in the outside sector because of their remarkable capacity to keep warmth while wet. Nevertheless, the unpleasant nature of 100% wool fiber socks has actually required the mixing of woollen into various other high-tech artificial fiber products.

Blisters and also Various Other Skin Injuries.

Rubbing blisters are among one of the most typical foot injuries influencing the professional athlete. Sores on the feet are much more prevalent and incapacitating in armed forces employees. A research study executed on 357 aquatic recruits at Parris Island, South Carolina, revealed a 69% occurrence of sores during a four-month duration of training. Blisters serious enough to warrant clinical evaluation at ill telephone call happened in 24.4% of all students. It has actually been estimated that over 5,000 Standard Trainees at Lackland Flying Force Base were dealt with for rubbing sores throughout one fiscal year in 1990.

Variables essential for friction blisters are shear force, stress and moderate levels of moisture. All of these pressures can be reduced by a correct sock system.

Herring and Richie checked out the function of fiber as well as sock building techniques in the prevention of blisters on the feet of running professional athletes. Their searchings for showed that acrylic fiber socks will have much less sores and also smaller sores than cotton fiber socks. Additionally, professional athletes were able to determine a drier foot with acrylic socks as compared to cotton.

These searchings for were significant just when socks were constructed with thick terry cushioning rather than in common "cushion-sole" socks.

Afflicted with ever-increasing regularity of blisters, the United States Military conducted three randomized potential research studies on various sock systems. The common military concern sock is a 50% cotton as well as 50% wool cushion-sole sock. The 3 research studies attempted to contrast newer fiber building techniques and also double-layer innovation to reduce blister regularities.

In a study of 357 aquatic employees on Parris Island, South Carolina in 1992, using a CoolMax ® lining with a heavily cushioned terry layout outer sock using a wool/polypropylene mix substantially lowered blisters compared with a single layer sock (40% vs. 69%). Adding a CoolMax ® liner to the typical sock considerably minimized unwell phone call sees (24.4% basic vs. 9.4% requirement with liner).

One more research study of 1,079 soldiers in 1993 tested five sock systems on blister frequency as well as acceptability by soldiers. Synthetic fiber socks considerably surpassed the common woollen sock. Adding a CoolMax ® liner to the woollen sock dramatically lowered sores. When comparing single, extra-thick acrylic padded socks to double layer sock-systems, the double-layer system was superior owing to the securing of the open terry loops from the skin surface as well as the motion user interface developed by the double-layer system. Three other army research studies have actually shown a blister avoidance supremacy of dual sock systems vs. single layer socks.

Suitable.

Appropriate fitting of athletic shoes is crucial for comfort, injury prevention, and also performance. Suitable of footwear, specifically athletic shoes, is a lost art in the modern retail marketplace. The emergence of high-tech sports hosiery items has made the shoe-fitting process a lot more hard.

Shoe and also foot measurement techniques are antiquated in today's modern-day athletic footwear sector. The Brannock measuring tool was created in 1927, long before athletic shoes were created and also long before high-sports specific hosiery items were developed. Most of modern-day sports shoes are made overseas in third world countries where sizing criteria vary significantly even within the exact same solitary factory.

In 1995, the author conducted a footwear in shape study for a premium sporting activities leg wear business. The results of this study exposed the following:.

1) Gauging feet barefoot with a Brannock device successfully anticipated exact athletic shoe dimension just 30% of the moment.

2) When topics wore a basic cushion-sole sock and also were measured, accuracy for shoe dimension enhanced 10%.

3) When gauging a subject barefoot (as suggested by the Brannock Firm), and afterwards fitting the subject with athletic shoes and thick sporting activities certain socks, the Brannock dimension was precise only 15% of the time (an 85% failing price!).

4) When gauging a subject with thick sporting activities specific sock standing on the Brannock gadget, the precision for predicting correct shoe size improved by 10%.

5) When wearing correctly fitted shoes with a common sporting activities sock, adding a thick greatly cushioned sock required an increase in size of shoe 77% of the time.

Therefore, gauging an athlete with a Brannock determining tool has marginal value when associating with footwear dimensions of modern day sports footwear. Still, the ability of the fitter could allow translation of the shoe size to an "modified size" based upon an understanding of supply and peculiarities of brand-size features. The professional athlete should be measured as well as fitted wearing the details sock that will certainly be inevitably put on with the shoes. This is a turnaround of the typical fitting procedure in a lot of athletic shoe shops where socks are acquired as a "add-on" after footwear have actually been fitted.

Sports Details Applications.

Sports-specific socks were spearheaded by ThorLo in the very early 1980's. Quickly, all major sock manufacturers adhered to with socks packaged and presumably made for details sports, i.e., tennis, golf, running, etc. What started as practical differentiation for a couple of key sporting activities has led to a collection of sock product packaging methods as well as advertising and marketing hype with items designed for each possible task. Actually, there is very little technical distinction within any specific company in the style of their leg wear items for numerous specific sporting activities. In the long run, however, the zeal of the American public to acquire socks certain for every sporting activity has actually generated a $250,000,000 market.

Socks need to be made certain to the shoe, rather than the sporting activity itself. The biomechanical motion and tensions of entertainment as well as affordable sporting activities vary substantially. Designing a sock to reduce those stress and anxieties has actually resulted in extremely comparable features, despite the selections of foot tensions discovered in each sport. What lugs more variant are the footwear designs as well as the ecological obstacles of the sporting activity. Here, sock layout in the top and fiber structure can be varied considerably to satisfy the demands peculiar to the sporting activity.

The following table offers examples of sock style and also fiber variations in addition to the sporting activities applications that are best suited.

Building Strategies of Athletic Leg Wear.
