To have a rough estimate of what a custom rug will cost, we calculate the price per square foot of a design from our online catalog and add an upcharge based on the complexity of the design, the number of colors, size of the loom and style of rug. The minimum custom rug order we accept is 6'x9' in hand tufted quality; the minimum in hand knotted quality is 5'x8' and runners over 9'. For a custom quote and lead time estimate, contact us directly at 800.830.7847 or email@example.com. Additional charges may apply for oversize freight, expedited shipments, and additional services.
Absolutely. We can reduce the cost of custom rugs by dyeing large quantities of yarns, using the same loom to produce multiple custom rugs, and purchasing materials and labor in larger volume. This allows us to extend these savings to you, the customer. This is how we have become the most affordable custom rug company in the industry. We have been working together with the Hopitality Industry for more than 15 years, and will work with you to make your project perfect.
Our Lead Times are far more expedient than industry standards. ModernRugs.com delivers Large Rugs within 8 weeks from your final approval. Lead times can, of course, be affected by the complexity and size of the rug that you are ordering. However, most rugs between 6'x9' and Large Rugs (13'x20') can be delivered within 60 days from the time that you approve the yarns, colors and renderings.
Charges per hour may apply and will be discounted from the final price of your rug. Custom swatches are available for a $200 fee plus the cost per square foot of the rug. Swatches take 2-4 weeks to deliver. A written, faxed confirmation with advance payment is required to place the order, and we will handle the rest! Delivery generally takes 3-5 months and white glove installation services are available upon request. Expedited shipments may be available; please contact us directly with your special needs.
PLEASE NOTE: Rug making is an art. Our custom rugs are made by very skilled artisans and are all made by hand, as such they are subject to minor irregularities. Slight variations in size, texture, and color are common and considered acceptable. Some rugs with complex designs and non-standard colors and gradients may take longer to complete. Once the process of loom construction, and wool dyeing has been started, WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANY CANCELLATIONS OR ISSUE REFUNDS.
Delivery time: We do our best to comply and adhere to the time schedule that was given to you during your initial order. We typically deliver custom rug orders ahead of schedule. However, there are conditions that are out of our control that may cause an unforeseen delay. We will of course communicate this with you as soon as we are informed of any changes in lead time.

Tata Class Edge
September 25, 2015
Teaching-learning can be made interesting by following innovations in the process. The traditional lecture method is monotonous and students would easily get bored. Keeping this in mind, educationists and multinational companies concentrate on bringing out new teaching methods that would gel with the latest technological development. An audio-visual class would definitely prove to be interesting to a child, rather than a teacher's lecture.
Tata, who have been pioneers on various fields, have proved their mettle in the field of education also. Tata Class Edge is their latest innovation which is based on the Multiple Learning Model-an instructional framework developed by Tata Interactive Systems. This helps the teachers to deliver high quality instructions with an effective blend of classroom activities and multimedia demonstrations.
Tata Class Edge used in schools boasts of lesson plans designed to aid effective teaching, visual effects for complex concepts, worksheets to promote creative thinking in children, efficient use of teacher time through interactive teacher tools, usage of interactive whiteboards and non-obtrusive projectors. On the whole, teaching has been revolutionized by Tata Class Edge which is gaining momentum.

I have just deleted a lot of old messages (about 3,000) from my Thunderbird 3.0 profile. When I now use the new search feature (search all messages), TB still finds the deleted ones.
I deleted them this way: I moved the messages to an own "archive" folder (not the built-in archive feature). Then I stopped TB and moved the archive files and folders to a different place on my file system. Then restarted TB. I archive my messages this way for years now.
So, it seems that Thunderbird does not notice the deletion of my messages, thus the index is not updated. How can I tell TB to instantly rebuild the index?

A funky big band album, recorded by Thad Jones & Mel Lewis, with the great Joe Williams on vocals! The record is one of the most sought-after by the team – probably because it includes the hard breakbeat version of "Get Out of My Life Woman" that's been sampled often over the years. (Actually, hasn't every version of it been sampled by someone?) The other tracks are pretty funky, too, with nice soul groovers like "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Woman's Got Soul", and "How Sweet It Is". Players include Pepper Adams, Joe Farrell, Jerome Richardson, and Roland Hanna – and the Jones/Lewis group is at the height of its hipness here! (Cover has a light stain inside the gatefold, a light mark from sticker removal on front, and a bit of tape residue on back.) © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Japan and Australia will hold a ministerial meeting Wednesday on sealing a bilateral free trade pact, accelerating efforts to reach an accord possibly in April when leaders from the two countries are slated to hold a summit in Tokyo, the Cabinet Office said Monday.
Australian Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb will meet with economic and fiscal policy minister Akira Amari in Tokyo, the office said. Robb is also expected to hold talks with farm minister Yoshimasa Hayashi.
The key to successfully concluding 7-year-old negotiations is whether Tokyo and Canberra can come to terms with each other on tariff elimination over farm products and automobiles, according to negotiation sources.
Australia has called on Japan to reduce tariffs on beef, one of its main export items to Japan.
Japan, for its part, wants Australia to abolish its 5 percent auto tariff, which might be more acceptable for Canberra now as major automakers have decided to end production in the country in the near future, reducing the need for the country to protect its domestic industry.
If a deal is successfully achieved, Australia will become the first major farm exporter to strike an FTA with Japan, which has been reluctant to open up its agricultural market for fear that an influx of cheaper imports could damage domestic farmers.
Robb has expressed hope of having a free trade pact signed in July, when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is expected to visit Australia and meet with Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
Tokyo and Canberra are accelerating two-way free trade talks at a time when the broader Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade talks, which also involve the United States, New Zealand and Canada, have been stalled.

Khalil Hamra, Associated Press
CAIRO — Soldiers beat hundreds of protesters with clubs and fired heavy volleys of gunfire into the air in a pre-dawn attack that broke up a demonstration in Cairo's central Tahrir Square, a sign of the increasing tensions between Egypt's ruling military and the country's protest movement.
A force of around 300 soldiers swept into the square around 3 a.m. and waded into a tent camp in the center where protesters had formed a human cordon to protect several army officers who joined their demonstration, witnesses said.
The troops dragged an unknown number of protesters away, throwing them into police trucks.
"I saw women being slapped in the face, women being kicked," cried one female protester, who among around 200 who fled to take refuge in a nearby mosque. Troops surrounded the mosque and heavy gunfire was heard for hours. Protesters in the mosque reported large numbers of injured, including several wounded by gunfire.
The assault came hours after tens of thousands massed in Tahrir Square on Friday in one of the biggest protests in weeks, demanding that the military prosecute ousted president Hosni Mubarak and his family for alleged corruption.
The rally was a show of the increasing impatience and mistrust that many Egyptians feel toward the military, which was handed power when Mubarak was forced out of office on Feb. 11. Some protesters accuse the military leadership of protecting Mubarak — a former military man himself — and more broadly, many are unclear on the army's intentions in the country's transition.
More than in previous protests, chants and banners Friday directly criticized the military's Supreme Council, headed by Defense Minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, a former Mubarak loyalist. At one point, a group of protesters walked behind a contingent of military police in Tahrir, shouting, "The people want the fall of the field marshal," and haranguing the soldiers until they left the square.
A number of army officers in uniform joined the protesters, some of them accusing the Supreme Council of corruption in speeches to the crowd. After dark, hundreds of protesters remained in the square, intending to camp out with the officers. Before the main assault, military police tried several times to move in and detain the officers but were pushed by protesters. At one point, protesters pushed and shoved an army general, tearing his cap from his head.
After the pre-dawn attack, the scene was chaotic. Inside the mosque, families who had camped out in the protest tent searched for children who got lost in the mayhem. Outside, protesters scuffled with soldiers on sidestreets, chanting, "Marshal, tell your soldiers, we aren't leaving."
The confrontation was a sharp contrast to the warmth protesters felt toward the military during the 18-day wave of mass demonstrations that led to Mubarak's ouster and in the days immediately following. Many praised the military for refusing to fire on protesters, and welcomed the Supreme Council's stepping in to rule.
But tensions have grown since. Reports have emerged of some protesters arrested and tortured by the military in past weeks. Anger has also grown over the failure so far to prosecute Mubarak and his family.
Corruption was widespread under Mubarak's 29-year-rule, and resentment particularly accelerated in the last years of his rule, as his son Gamal — an investment banker-turned-politician — rose to prominence and brought into power a group of millionaire tycoons who implemented a program of economic liberalization. Several of those businessmen-politicians are now on trial or under investigation for allegedly using their positions to amass personal fortunes.
But Egyptians insist the corruption goes right to the top.

Bishop Wester also spoke specifically about some ways in which the Catholic Church and the LDS Church are different.
"We have different points of view on a number of issues," he said. "We can certainly respect what each other is saying, but each of us would have a different belief."
He mentioned the Trinity, the notion of ongoing revelation, the Mormon belief in a "great apostasy," the infallibility of the Catholic Church and the universality of salvation as doctrinal areas in which Catholics and Mormons differ.
"Our anthropologies differ," he observed. "Latter-day Saints have a very optimistic notion of human nature. We believe that Christ provides grace beyond our natural being. We don't believe that we become divine, but we believe that we become more like him."
Bishop Wester also focused on the things Mormons and Catholics have in common, including "the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the centrality of Jesus Christ" in church teachings, as well as "adherence to the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes."
He spoke of Catholics and Mormons sharing "a call to social justice and our love for the poor," mentioning how Catholic Community Services are "greatly helped" by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He spoke of his personal relationship with LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson and "his desire to work with us in helping the poor and the needy."
He also mentioned shared beliefs like respect for the dignity of human life, the importance of family life and Christian marriage, the desire to be faithful and good stewards of creation, the belief in an afterlife and the efficacy of prayer.
"These are all areas of tremendous cooperation and agreement and accord," he said. "We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with one another in honoring each other's faith traditions."
After the devotional, Bishop Wester, President Holland and Elder Lund met with members of UVU's Interfaith Student Council, where they responded to a number of questions from council members. During that session, Bishop Wester reconfirmed his message about the helpful spirit that exists between Utah's Catholic and LDS communities.
"We respect the LDS faith because they are faithful to their creeds and covenants," he said. "My experience has been that you feel the same way about us."
And he encouraged President Holland to continue to lead UVU in its pursuit of intellectual honesty and truth.
"The truth is never the enemy," Bishop Wester said. "Truth is the companion of faith. The more faithful you are to the truth, then you are serving religion and giving religious people a way to inform their faith.
"I think truth and faith go hand in hand," he continued. "The university does a great service to religion by using the truth to enlighten us."

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, expects a
discount gas promotion it sponsored to cost about $2,000.
For two hours on Saturday, the price of a gallon of gas at a local convenience store was $1.09 a gallon -- 50 cents lower than its previous posted price.
The idea for the gas discount came from Foundations Church, a new interdenominational church with an Assemblies of God affiliation.
Church member Rachel Heckeroth says the church decided to sponsor the gas discount as a way of helping Tulsa residents during the current economic downturn.

All Rise...
Appellate Judge Tom Becker's artwork has been called a still-life crisis.
Editor's Note
Our review of American Beauty, published September 25th, 2000, is also available.
The Charge
Look closer…
Opening Statement
I saw American Beauty when it was first released because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Several years—and several viewings—later, I'm still trying to figure it out. I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but I just don't get how this smug, shallow film that targets such low-hanging perennials as the emptiness of the American Dream and the seedy underbelly of suburbia has been lauded as a modern classic. Will this new Blu-ray from Paramount's Sapphire Series turn my head, or have I already looked close enough?
Facts of the Case
Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey, The Shipping News) is fed up with his life. His wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening, Bugsy), is an icy shrew, more concerned with the trappings of success—she's a realtor with a middling business—than with any kind of enjoyment of life, and his daughter, Jane (Thora Birch, Ghost World), is a snotty, though sensitive, teen who considers her dad an embarrassment. Lester's stuck in a dead-end job that he hates, but even that seems to be on its way out.
Lester's mid-life malaise is interrupted when he meets Angela (Mena Suvari, Factory Girl), Jane's sexy nymphet cheerleading buddy. Smitten, Lester decides to revisit the by-gone days of youth. He quits his job (after talking his way into a nice settlement package), begins working out, buys a cool car, and starts smoking pot supplied to him by new neighbor and yet another of Jane's classmates, Ricky (Wes Bentley, The Claim). Ricky's a nonconformist loner whom the other kids consider a freak, and he's saddled with terrible parents: bigoted military colonel father (Chris Cooper, Lone Star) and zomie-like mother (Allison Janney, Juno).
Ricky, who sees beauty in everyday things, takes a liking to Jane. But as their youthful romance buds, the marriage of Lester and Carolyn crumbles, and Lester's Humbert Humbert-esque obsession with Angela threatens to spill over. Of course, thanks to an ominous up-front voice over, we know that Lester's living on borrowed time—and with all these bizarre and angry characters, don't expect him to check out via natural causes.
The Evidence
Let me tell you straight away, this review is rife with spoilers, so read at your own risk.
The tagline for American Beauty is "look closer." It's an unfortunate choice, because the closer you look at American Beauty, the more you see how phony and jerryrigged this film is.
While it boasts great cinematography by Conrad L. Hall, an effective Thomas Newman score, and some interesting performances, American Beauty is undone by a pretentious and precious script by Alan Ball and heavy-handed direction by Sam Mendes. That Ball and Mendes won a whole slew of awards for their work here—including the one-time prestigious Oscar—says more about the sorry state of cinema at the end of the 20th Century than it does about the quality of this film.
With Unsubtle standing in for Frank, and Punchlines replacing Insight, American Beauty is a series of scenes that serve as little more than set ups for things Ball (and Mendes, evidently) thought were funny or shocking or eye opening. It's as though the script were written backwards, and every time Ball needed a way to get to a point, he just threw something in, however unnatural or inelegant; thus we get a film rife with "Jack and Chrissie moments," those feeble misunderstandings, coincidences, and misconceptions that inexplicably powered Three's Company through seven banal seasons.
For instance, while it's a little questionable that Lester's sarcastic, artsy, disaffected teenage daughter would be a cheerleader, it's necessary to the script, because Ball and Mendes have to get Lester to a high school basketball game so he can see the fetching Angela done up in her fantasy regalia. Sure, he could have just met her when she was visiting their home, but that would have robbed Mendes of the opportunity to introduce the girl with a ridiculously bombastic multi-screen, slo-mo, rose-petal bursting wet dream sequence as seen through Lester's eyes—no reason to trust your actors to convey thoughts and emotions or an audience to pick up on them when you can just go all J. Geils Band with the whole thing.
When Lester quits his job—and gets a nice chunk of change from his company's benignly evil efficiency expert by threatening to expose what is presumably an open secret about the CEO—he decides to have a teen do-over, ostensibly to recapture those good time feelings that middle age has sapped away, and perhaps score with the hot girl. He works out (check), adopts a snotty attitude (check), buys a cool car (clichéd, but check), and strangely, takes a job in a fast food restaurant. Now most people might agree that while it was fun to be footloose and 17 and working in the Burger Shack, it's not something they'd want to relive at 40. Are Ball and Mendes giving us some deeper insight into Lester by having him desperately wanting to revisit that part of his life at this part of his life? Nah, the whole point to him working in the Burger Shack is so that he can have a "funny" scene where he snags a pair of adulterers who inexplicably show up at the drive-thru for a post-coital snack.
The whole film is built on bad sitcom moments like this, including the final quarter, which kicks off with a completely unnecessary "I'll call you gesture" between two characters—one of whom has a beeper, so why bother?—which is only there so a third character can see the gesture and become suspicious. This leads to a well-worn sitcom moment, wherein the character peeks into Lester's window and thinks he sees him in a disturbing sex act—only the sightline is obscured, so the character gets the wrong idea! (har-har) The only way to top that, of course, is the classic, "Two people having a conversation in which each is talking about a different thing, but neither realizes it." It was funny when they did it on The Honeymooners, not so much here, and since this whole misunderstanding ultimately leads to the tragic denouement we've been waiting for since the opening narration, it renders the finale as yet another punchline.
The characters rarely rise above the level of caricature, with the Fitts family the worst examples of contrived humanity this side of a Tyler Perry film. Mom is a glassy-eyed robot who's obviously had the life brow-beaten out of her by her evil husband. Colonel Fitts makes his first appearance by plunking himself down at the breakfast table and announcing, "This country is going straight to hell"—because what else would a psychotic, bigoted, military guy say first thing in the morning? Although he never "suits up" or seems to have any sort of job, we're constantly reminded that he is "Colonel" Fitts, and of course, his military affiliation makes him a raving, abusive nutjob—I mean, should we expect anything else from the military? The only things missing from this guy are a rhapsodic speech about his days in 'Nam and a few more intolerant epithets tossed around.
As for young Ricky, we're supposed to feel for his sensitive nature, but Ball's goopy writing just makes the kid insufferable. As played by Bentley, Ricky speaks in a quasi-mystical monotone and views the world with a penetrating, if empty, stare. Even though his evil, military dad has him randomly drug tested (Ricky cannily swaps urine samples on the old man), the kid is still a wildly successful dealer of high-end pot, with thousands of dollars of electronic equipment (Dad thinks he made the dough through cater-waiter jobs, ha-ha) and even more thousands stashed away in a false-bottom dresser drawer. Despite the evil, military lunatic ready to pound him into salt for the slightest transgression, Ricky gets high in his bedroom (and not a Fabreze bottle in sight!), has no qualms about approaching new-neighbor Lester about getting high at a catered function, and tells off his boss and quits while getting high with Lester at the same function, apparently unconcerned that Evil, Military Dad might get a whiff of what's transpired. He's the mysterious, nonviolent rebel of every angst-ridden school girl's dreams, the envy of past-their-prime men, and he couldn't be less realistic if he'd been given superpowers.
Bening makes a valiant effort to act some sympathy into Carolyn, but since Ball and Mendes clearly detest this character, she's swimming upstream against a raging and destructive current. A near-touching scene in which she cries after a day of showing a house to disinterested potential buyers ends up a queasy joke when she starts slapping herself to regain composure; an attempted heartfelt talk with her daughter just makes her look clueless and foolish.
Of course, a big part of Carolyn's problem is that she's materialistic. She likes having a nice home, has gardening shears that match her gardening clogs, and in what I guess is supposed to be a defining moment, she interrupts an impromptu and unexpected seduction by Lester to ask him not to spill his beer on their expensive couch. Since Lester has the attention span of a 3-year-old and the manufactured angst of a 15-year-old, he flies into a rage instead of just putting the stupid bottle on the stupid table and continuing his stupid seduction. Nice work, Carolyn! Carolyn's materialism has helped make her old and frigid, and since materialism is such an ingrained part of the American Dream, we're shown that people who are wrapped up in their nice homes and gardens and such are not really living—except, of course, middle-aged men who, like Lester, blow all their money on their dream cars, because that makes you cool, carefree, and adventurous.
Then there's Carolyn's affair with successful realtor "Buddy." Since he's got such a toolish name, it stands to reason the guy's a tool who represents everything that's wrong the middle- to upper-middle class. Perhaps. But he seems to genuinely like Carolyn—which, of course, makes him ridiculous. He understands her—which means he's just as pathetic as she is—and they enjoy each other's company. If American Beauty were her story, this would be Carolyn's chance to break away from the husband she's grown away from. But this isn't her story, and to remind you that Carolyn is nothing more than a joke, Mendes films her sex scene with Buddy in the most unflattering light possible, like a soft-core Saturday Night Live skit—naturally, since two 40-year-olds having a dalliance in a hotel room is tawdry, laughable, and sleazy, unlike, say, a 42-year-old man masturbating over a high school sophomore, which is bold, daring, and thing of beauty.
It's a little disconcerting to consider that of the four main female characters, one's a shrew, one's a zombie, and the other is a vapid, disruptive teen. Only Jane approaches anything near sympathetic or well-rounded, and she only "finds" herself thanks to a male character.
Spacey won an Oscar for this, and it probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but in hindsight, his self-satisfied portrayal was merely the first drip that would unleash the floodgates of subsequent self-satisfied portrayals in films like K-Pax, The Life of David Gale, and Play It Forward. He does well enough playing a confused and confusing character whose last-minute moral revelation seems more like a cop-out than an epiphany.
Thora Birch is very good as the gradually empowered Jane, and Mena Suvari quite touching as the fragile teen beauty, whose insecurities and neuroses are unmasked in a disturbingly cruel scene—disturbing because we're supposed to be on the side of the male character who tells her off.
For fans of American Beauty, Paramount's Sapphire Series edition doesn't bring a whole lot to the table. The 1080p AVC/MPEG-4 image is reasonable by Blu-ray standards and boasts pretty good detail, but it's not a dramatic uptick from the earlier, standard DVD release. Audio is solid, but like the image, it just doesn't pop the way you'd like it to.
The big disappointment, though, is that the extras are the same ones that were on the 2000 DVD release: a commentary with Ball and Mendes, the featurette "American Beauty: Look Closer…," storyboard comparisons with Mendes and Hall, and a couple of trailers. Clearly, I'm not a fan of this film, but plenty of people are; you'd think Paramount could have come up with something for this Blu-ray besides recycling 10-year-old supplements.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
I realize I'm registering a dissenting, minority opinion to a highly regarded film, but American Beauty just didn't do it for me. The broadly drawn, cartoonish characters and clumsy sitcom set-ups made it too distancing for me to feel an emotional connection, and it wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know (life sucks when you get older, people and feelings are more important than things, etc.). I've read the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I've talked to people who thought it was great, but for me…well, see above.
Closing Statement
Trite, snarky, and lacking insight, this is an incredibly overrated film that panders to its audience. Not brave enough to be a full-on satire, it's at its heart a middling TV movie. Paramount's Sapphire Series Blu-ray is pretty much a retread of the DVD with marginally better tech. If you have the first release, I don't know that this warrants an upgrade.
The Verdict
I'm calling it guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give American Beauty (Blu-Ray) Sapphire Series a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Tough economy has Utah manufacturers going lean
Stuart Johnson, Deseret News
Utah manufacturers say that both orders and jobs disappeared in the recent economic crunch. Only one of them seems to be coming back right now.
"Economic recovery without job growth" describes Utah's immediate manufacturing prospects, as companies embrace the lean, efficient models they created to cope with the recession.
"When things started slowing down in the economy, it gave us the opportunity to look internally and get some difficult-to-reach objectives in our manufacturing," said Randy Hales, president and CEO of Orem-based Mity-Lite Inc. "Orders were slowing, so we focused on continuous improvement and making sure we are as efficient as we can be."
That's been the pattern for local manufacturers, said Tom Bingham, president of the Utah Manufacturers Association, making companies stronger and more competitive. It is also "part of the reason we're not seeing people who have lost their job coming right back."
Becoming lean means companies are taking all the waste and barriers they can find out of their processes. And they're finding "they can do the same thing with fewer people and a lot of that is going on," Bingham said. So as product demand comes back, many are not rehiring "and that's a concern we have for job growth. A number of those companies will not bring back everyone they laid off; jobs are not going to be there. It's recovery without job growth and it's fairly common, particularly among manufacturers."
Manufacturing's payroll in Utah is about $5.7 billion, according to David Sorensen, executive director of Manufacturing Extension for Utah, at Utah Valley University, but it's a smaller part of the state's gross domestic product than it used to be. The average size of the companies is 26 employees. The feds count as large manufacturers only those companies that have 5,000 or more workers; only 34 of Utah's 3,900 manufacturers have 500 employees.
But small manufacturers are essential for large manufacturers to survive, said Sorensen, and 80 to 90 percent of the products consumed by large manufacturers are made by small manufacturers like the many in Utah.
The fundamentals of manufacturing have been changing. Thirty years ago, said Sorensen, manufacturers brought in raw materials, built the products and sent them out to be sold. If something didn't sell, it was modified or discounted to get rid of it. Now, "there's not as much inventory and they're shipping more rapidly, not making investments they can avoid. They are trading standing inventory for services. I think a lot more companies are looking seriously at their cost."
His example is a company based in Lindon, Coverstar, which makes automated pool safety covers. He said it changed its layout and increased its output significantly. Not more people, not a new facility," just more efficient ways to do things, he said. "That same output with far less resources" makes a huge difference to the bottom line.
Some Utah manufacturers have done quite well in the recession, including companies that make medical devices and those that make parts used by the aerospace industry, which has been "relatively untouched" — a strong counterpoint to cabinetmakers and others who crashed along with the housing market. Some companies, like La-Z-Boy, have pulled out of the Beehive State. Companies that primarily supplied products for California's housing market have been especially hard-hit, Bingham said.
Still, "we have not seen in the more than 850 companies we represent more than a handful that said they were closing their door." A large percentage, though, planned to "pull back and hunker down." Only about one-fourth were, like medical device makers, doing well.
And not all the news has been bad. Some companies migrated north from California's dire economy to set up shop in Iron and Washington counties, which helped offset some of the devastation for companies that had been dependent on a California market. They moved to Utah, he said, where costs are lower and there are fewer regulatory hurdles to jump.

Pop2Life is a dynamic experiential marketing + music agency. We 'go beyond' to help BOLD brands create meaningful engagement with consumers [the fans!]
Pop2Life is a dynamic experiential marketing + music agency. We 'go beyond' to help BOLD brands create meaningful engagement with consumers [the fans!]
Giving consumers the real "sense-able" experience of your brand
produces a powerful, emotional connection.
Giving consumers the real "sense-able" experience of your brand
produces a powerful, emotional connection.
Traditional advertising is suffering, as consumers find ways to circumvent it, so "advertising" that is entertaining and experiential (aka engaging + emotional) is crucial. The bottom line? Engaging consumers is critical to building a passionate fan base for any product or brand. We believe that social experiences (both "live" and digital) create more than just a basic impression. Engagement creates a meaningful connection.
With the help of one very, very tall redhead at San Diego's Comic-Con, TBS and Pop2Life took your grandmother's bingo and revamped it into a true money-can't buy-experience - where CONAN's biggest fans could play to be the true Bingo Champion with drinks, food, and let us not forget, a few games of "Balls Karaoke".
Pop2Life created a once-in-a-lifetime experience for die hard fans of AMC's THE WALKING DEAD to commemorate the premiere of the hugely popular show's 5th season.
To bring the inaugural season of NBC's HEROES REBORN at Comic-Con, P2L took over the famed Tin Fish and built a virtual reality experience where everyone truly became a superhero with real (okay, semi-real) super powers.
A summer long CARTOON NETWORK program at ATLANTIS PARADISE ISLAND has turned into a wildly successful strategic partnership between the two brands. Produced and managed by Pop2Life, the [now annual] 90-day activation features multiple experiences and resort-wide brand integration.
HGTV tapped Pop2Life to re-imagine the classic Santa photo mall setup & created a totally interactive holiday experience for 10 Macerich Mall properties across the country. The experience features a hilarious "Naughty Or Nice Meter", a custom programmed "Elfie" video experience, & a mind blowing augmented reality workshop [viewed using our custom "Elf-ray Vision"].
FOOD NETWORK + Mastercard tapped Pop2Life to give CHOPPED fans the ultimate priceless experience with some of today's hottest new chefs in New York, LA, Chicago and Miami.
With access to the hottest pop culture brands in the world,
our unique MUSIC EVENTS make some serious noise!
With access to the hottest pop culture brands in the world,
our unique MUSIC EVENTS make some serious noise!
Our experience in the music industry is unparalleled. From Katy Perry to The Band Perry; we've orchestrated some of the most memorable, share-able MUSIC EVENTS in the history of music events!
Our MUSIC EVENTS are exciting, entertaining + engaging, giving consumers [fans] a shot to experience their favorite artists in unique, more intimate environments. A thoughtful MUSIC EVENT helps create a meaningful connection between brands and fans.
Brands can tap into the collective cache' value, power and reach of a major artist or band to connect and activate a highly targeted, pop culture savvy consumer. Our secret sauce is knowing the right artist to reach the right audience at the right time.
Brands can activate fans online, tapping directly into the artist/band's passionate (and often rabid) fanbase via social media, artist or band portals [official website, fan club, Facebook/Twitter], music + celebrity blogs.
Our team can help brands activate fans across the biggest and best radio stations across the country via hundreds of live mentions, recorded promos and contesting; integrated into the programming & content of participating radio stations.
For the fourth year in a row, P2L helped HGTV bring some of the hottest country artists, including DARIUS RUCKER, ZAC BROWN BAND & more to the HGTV Lodge during CMA Fest - a must-see during the warm weekend in Nashville!
To celebrate the new season of AMC's killer show, HELL ON WHEELS, P2L + AMC tapped BRANTLEY GILBERT to engage fans and give them an unforgettable music experience.
Mud and rain couldn't stop Pop2Life and HGTV from bringing the rock to Phoenix, orchestrating a three day "Super Fan Festival" featuring CALVIN HARRIS, YOUNG THE GIANT, ZAC BROWN BAND and more to kick off Super Bowl XLIX!
Pop2Life headed to Chicago's Ravinia Festival for the first FOOD NETWORK IN CONCERT, bringing seven Food Network chefs and four national music acts (including Grammy-winning JOHN MAYER) to bring music and food together in the most epic way possible.
What better way to enjoy the beauty of Atlantis than by hanging out with some of Nashville's most famous writers during CMA'S SONGWRITER SERIES or at the "Paradise Lawn", full of hammocks, and shade. The three-day festival cumulated with evening shows featuring RASCAL FLATTS, THE BAND PERRY, and more!
A local spectacle or simultaneous multi-city awes...
our team of nationwide production managers can (and do) pull off the impossible.

Nowadays there are so many outlets to generate awareness and build genuine, organic buzz with a great [creative] stunt. Technology, the internet, and social media specifically, have given us the ability to spread the word faster and with more authenticity. Sure, we love the traditional press hits, but a great stunt also turns real-life consumers into an army of trusted brand ambassadors as they share it with friends via tweets, posts, blogs or texts.
P2L was tasked to bring AMC's newest series, FEAR THE WALKING DEAD (a prequel to hit series The Walking Dead) to life at Comic-Con. What better way to do that than to built an interactive replica of the church that the show centers around in downtown San Diego?
To commemorate the seventh and, sadly for us all, final season of MAD MEN, AMC + Pop2Life unveiled "The Draper Bench", a reproduction of the iconic last scene of Mad Men's opening credits, outside of the Time-Life Building in Manhattan (where the fictional drama takes place).
Celebrating the launch of TNT's newest series, THE LIBRARIANS, P2L created a bookmobile on wheels, featuring a creepily accurate tarot card reader, props from the show, and a DIY hot chocolate bar!
This was one of the biggest feats in the history of Pop2Life. The world's largest vinyl [Eagles] record spinning atop the LOS ANGELES FORUM to announce it's triumphant return as Southern California's premiere music arena. #crazy

"Mill Ruins Park - St. Anthony Falls" Minneapolis Travelogue by gregoryr1m
Minneapolis Travel Guide: 955 reviews and 1,746 photos
The Stone Arch Bridge was constructed as a railroad bridge in 1883 by James J. Hill. It's 23 arches cross over the Mississippi River and St. Anthony Falls.
It has been converted into a pedestrian/bicycle/trolly bridge.
You can see St. Anthony Falls when you walk across The Stone Arch Bridge. My photograph was taken from the ovservation deck in the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers Building.
The Gold Medal Flour sign stands high above the old Washburn-Crosby Co. in Downtown Minneapolis which now houses the new Mill City Museum in Mill Ruins Park.
This vacent flour mill caught fire in 1991 but has been preserved and is not home of Mill City Museum.
Night shot of the sign in a snowstorm.
You can see the sign for Pillsbury Flour Mill across the river from Washburn-Crosby Co. as this photo was taken from there
Grain Belt Beer Sign and Hennipen Av. Suspension Bridge *
The Grain Belt Beer Sign is a 40-by-40 foot proclain bottle cap with neon lights was erected in 1940. This sign went dark in 1970 when the brewery closed but in 1989, it became an local landmark.
