Hurricane Season begins June 1 and ends November 30. Forecasters are predicting a potentially active season, due to a diminishing El Nino pattern and record-warm water temperatures.
Connecticut residents should be ready for severe storms and other disasters.
Hurricanes are strong storms that cause life and property threatening hazards such as flooding, storm surge, high winds and tornadoes. The American Red Cross urges everyone to update their family evacuation plan, emergency preparedness kit and get better prepared for the 2010 hurricane season. Preparation is the best protection against the dangers of a hurricane.
By taking three basic preparedness actions you can become Red Cross Ready for hurricanes and other emergencies. The basic steps are: 1) Get a kit, 2) Make a plan and
The Red Cross is prepared to help Connecticut residents in disasters. Red Cross volunteers and staff are trained and ready to operate shelters and to provide mass care if needed. We plan ahead and work with government and community partners to identify shelters and evacuation routes and to have in place the resources that we might need in an emergency.
ou can take steps to reduce the risk of serious disruption, injury or loss of life by making their own preparations. The Red Cross is here to help you get prepared for specific disasters like hurricanes. Planning ahead can save time and lives in many types of emergencies. Even if you have taken some steps in the past to prepare, it's important that you revisit and update your communication plan and check your emergency preparedness kit for expired items.
he American Red Cross recommends the following preparedness actions:
Get or assemble an emergency preparedness kit:
A portable kit, stored in a sturdy, easy to carry, water resistant container should have enough supplies for three days. Check your kit and replace perishable stock every six months. Whether you purchase a kit or choose to build your own, your three-day kit should include:
- Water - one gallon per person, per day
- Food - non-perishable, easy-to-prepare items such as tuna fish, peanut butter, crackers, and canned fruit. Make sure to include a manual can opener
- A battery-powered or hand-crank radio, flashlight and plenty of extra batteries
- A first aid kit
- Prescription and non-prescription medication items. Include medical supplies like extra hearing aid batteries, syringes, etc
- Copies of important documents, including birth certificates, insurance policies and social security cards
- Sanitation and personal hygiene items
- Extra cash. ATMs and credit cards won't work if the power is out
- Special items for infant, elderly or disabled family members
- One blanket or sleeping bag per person
- Pet supplies (collar, leash, ID, food, carrier, bowls)
Prepare a family evacuation plan
The American Red Cross urges each and every household to develop a household disaster plan.
- Meet with your family to create a plan. Discuss the information you have gathered and why it is important to prepare for a disaster
- Identify two meeting places; One right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency, like a fire, and one outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home
- Be sure to make advanced preparations for your pets. Be aware that pets may not be allowed in shelters. Contact hotels, motels, family members and animal shelters to see if they would allow pets in a disaster situation. Keep a contact list of "pet friendly" locations. If you are asked to evacuate, take your pets with you
- Choose an out-of-area emergency contact person. During or after a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance, especially if local phone lines are overloaded or out of service. Family members should call this person and tell them where they are. Everyone must know your emergency contact person's phone number and email address
- Tell your family about the Safe and Well web site accessible at all times via www.redcross.org. The Safe and Well Web site is an Internet-based tool that allows those directly affected by a disaster to let their loved ones know of their well-being. People within a disaster affected area are able to select and post standard "safe and well" messages. Concerned family members who know the person's phone number (home, cell, or work) or a complete home address can search for the messages posted by those who self-register
- Show and explain to each family member how and when to turn off the water and electricity at the main switches. Turn gas off only if instructed by local authorities. Remember, if the gas is shut-off, only a professional can turn it back on
- Plan your evacuation route. Use local maps and identify alternate evacuation routes from home, work and/or school. Know where you are going and how you plan to get there before you leave home
Be informed
- Find out what types of disaster are likely to occur in your area and how to prepare for each
- Find out how local authorities will contact you during a disaster. Listen to local media broadcasts or NOAA Weather Radio for the latest storm conditions and follow the advice of local authorities
- Contact the Connecticut Region Chapter for details about community disaster education presentations that may be arranged or are available in your workplace, school or community organization
- Get trained in CPR and first aid so you will know how to respond to emergencies in the event that help is delayed
- If you are told to evacuate, do so immediately. You may choose to evacuate sooner than alerted if you think you may need additional time

ISU Police: 9 UI Players, Coaches Had Phones, Cash StolenBy Marc Morehouse, Reporter
AMES, Iowa — Nine University of Iowa players and coaches reported cell phones and cash missing from the team's locker room in the Olsen Building, according to a statement from the Iowa State University Police Department.
The incident occurred during Iowa's 27-21 victory over Iowa State on Saturday night at Jack Trice Stadium. The area was staffed by a private security firm from Des Moines. Access to the Hawkeyes locker room as limited to those with appropriate credentials to enter the locker rooms, according to the statement. Private security company Contemporary Services Corporation, which has an office in Des Moines, handled security Saturday night. Attempts to reach branch manager Bob Swanson were unsuccessful Monday morning. CSC has provided security to Iowa State athletics events since 2011. The investigation is ongoing, the ISU police department said in the statement. It listed the phone number 515-294-4428 for anyone with information on the case to call. The University of Iowa released a statement Sunday morning confirming that items were missing from the locker room after the game. Linebackers/special teams coach LeVar Woods tweeted Sunday that his cell phone was missing. Police were seen leaving Iowa's locker room around 9 p.m. Saturday night. The Iowa Athletics Department statement Sunday morning: "Iowa athletic department officials confirmed there were items missing from the Iowa players locker room and the Iowa coaches locker room following the football game in Ames. Iowa State officials and local law enforcement agencies were very helpful once the incident was reported after the game." IOWA STATE ATHLETICS STATEMENT ON LOCKER ROOM THEFT "Upon learning that multiple items were taken from the Iowa football locker room Saturday night, Athletics Director Jamie Pollard visited personally with Iowa A.D. Gary Barta and Coach Kirk Ferentz to express his regret for the incident. UI officials reported that nine victims suffered thefts of cell phones and/or approximately $50 in total. Additionally, no vandalism to the area was noted or reported. An investigation, conducted by ISU Police, is on-going. If the person(s) responsible are not identified, ISU Athletics will reimburse those who suffered losses. It is an unfortunate situation, and unusual, in that the Jacobson Athletic Building has contracted security detail on site before, during and after games. The ISU Police and the athletics department responded quickly and thoroughly when alerted to the situation and have assured Iowa officials they are committed to seeking answers and improving security in this area." - See more at: http://thegazette.com/2013/09/16/isu-police-statement-9-ui-players-coaches-had-phones-stolen/#sthash.t91s4bAn.dpuf Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.

The star of the new miniseries Hatfields & McCoys has a big love for books about principled people who search for the truth.
You Deserve Nothing
A novel about a beloved teacher who succumbs to sexual temptation, Maksik's 2011 debut has inspired controversy, both because of its subject matter and because some say it's autobiographical. "Here you have this young, idealistic teacher whose beliefs are put to the test," says Bill Paxton. "First of all, I love the venue: The hero, William Silver, teaches at an international school in Paris. But besides that, I have always admired great teachers, people whose guidance and inspiration have made all the difference in my life. In this book, Silver is supposed to be teaching some of life's important lessons, and he ends up learning one himself. I felt empathetic and sympathetic. I liked the complexity of the character. This book is like the flip side of Goodbye, Mr. Chips."

The manual, intended to assist entry-level engineers in the design of air-conditioning systems, "bridges the gap between real-world design practices and the theoretical knowledge acquired in academic courses or textbooks," said Walter Grondzik, P.E., editor of the guide. "Such courses and books usually focus on theoretical calculations and proceduresthe manual focuses on applications," he added. The new version has been updated with new materials in a number of key areas, including:

OK, I know I'm supposed to be making my big return from blogcation tonight, but I'm still up to my eyeballs in boxes, bags, bicycles, and futon cushions, so forgive my brevity.
Plus, Spa:Crit was yesterday, and in addition to unpacking, I'm neck-deep in fallout from the race (mostly positive, but still time consuming). So, no real post tonight.
Instead, spend some time perusing these excellent shots from the race, then check out the edited versions here. There was also some great coverage of the race in The Saratogian, courtesy of city reporter Patrick Donges and ace photog Erica Miller.
In summation, we had about 240 racers show up for the Marshall & Sterling Spa Crit on Sunday -- a 150-percent increase from 2009. Notably, the women's race had about 25 participants, and the elite men had about 50 (up from 12 registered in 2009). Every race, from 1-lap the kid's crit to the cat 5 race and the elite races were fiercely contested, and everyone from the spectators to the participants and volunteers had a great day.
Of course, there were a few unhappy neighbors, and I hope that I will hear from these individuals so that we can better address their needs for the 2011 event, when we once again hope to be guests on the West Side.
I started promoting bike races because I spend a lot of time traveling to, and participating in, races. At every one of those events, there are tons of volunteers who spend lots of time to produce fun, enjoyable events. I want people from both within and without the cycling community to enjoy Saratoga Springs. Spa:crit is a way to show off our town, while bringing something different to the city residents. It was great to see some residents, many of whom looked like they'd never before seen a bike race, sitting out spectating.
From within the cycling community, it was great to see the number of non-racers (not-yet-racers?) who registered for the cat 5 category, and had a great time in their first race. Hopefully, the first of many! Similarly, it was great to see some serious contenders who can line up and race competitively at almost any race in the country choose to come here and race in Saratoga.
Thanks to all of the racers, athletes, and, especially the volunteers, who make the second year of the Saratoga Spa Crit a success.
There were lots of fun and memorable moments on Sunday, but the best one was when John and I were taking down barriers at the end of the day and a little kid came up to us on his bike and asked if we would hold the race again next year. It seems Mom and Dad had forgot to wake him up from a nap in time for the kid's race and he was really sad to have missed it. "I definitely want to race next year!" he said. Priceless.
P.S. We are finalizing the results, and they will posted in short order.

Saratoga Spa Crit on a roll
3 comments:
"From within the cycling community, it was great to see the number of non-racers (not-yet-racers?) who registered for the cat 5 category, and had a great time in their first race. Hopefully, the first of many!"
It would be a great help to potential race participants if they had a better idea how to join in. I'm thinking of avid cyclists of a certain age who aren't sure how to begin, who don't even know the lingo. Maybe a post telling folks what to do if they're thinking of racing for fun would encourage enthusiastic cyclists to give it a try. - 5:27 AM

Dawn's cameo was full of wasted potential, which was quite unfortunate since it does feel like her cameo didn't have any significant impact and she did seem like an afterthought during most of the Junior Cup episodes. For starters, I would have have her show the ribbons she won in the Hoenn region thus far and then explain that she came to Nimbasa City to gain inspiration after losing the last couple of Contests. That would be similar to why May decided to compete in the Wallace Cup, but at least it would make more sense as to why she suddenly jumped from Hoenn to Unova and Dawn needing some unique form of inspiration would have been believable. Ash asking about how that modeling offer went would have been nice, but not as necessary as seeing how her Contests went. I also would have changed her team a bit more beyond just having Quilava. Even if they didn't end up doing much, like most of Dawn's team did anyway, it could have shown that she had been making more progress through her journey than basically have the same team for the most part. So either having Hoenn Pokemon, Bunery evolving, as I think that should have happened back in DP, or capturing a Unova Pokemon would have worked for me.
I also would have had her interact with Ash more since they didn't really feel as close as they did back in DP, especially after watching the finale where both she and Piplup were quite sad about leaving the group and going on their own. Maybe more training with them and not trying to make Dawn and Iris look like instant BFFs would have helped. I would have toned down Dawn's interactions with Iris since it did come off as a generic attempt at making them look like good friends right off the bat, rather than having them genuinely bond.
I also would have had Dawn defeat Iris in the Junior Cup. The Junior Cup would have been the first opportunity for Dawn to showcase what she had learned in Hoenn and Unova since she didn't want to just wait until she returned to Hoenn, or go for the Wallace Cup again, to put into practice what she learned. Dawn would have used her Contest skills in that battle, such as that Ice Armor bit and other ways of combining Mamoswine's attacks, to throw Dragonite off its game since it was clearly more familiar with head-to-head battling. It would have shown that Mamoswine and Dawn were in sync and that along with Dawn's Contest combinations would have given her an edge over Iris and Dragonite who weren't able to work together. Dawn could have explained to Iris that she and Mamoswine didn't get along at first either. Instead of just saying that to tell Iris that it will all be okay eventually, she would tell Iris the story in more detail and tell her how she got to be friends with Mamoswine. That would have Iris realize that she needs to work on her relationship with Dragonite off the battle field, even though that should have been obvious to her anyway, and would have been a better way to show the two of them being good friends than having them instantly click. Not to mention it actually would have a more significant impact on Iris's storyline than giving her another undeserved victory. This would mean that Dawn would lose to most likely Trip, which wouldn't be satisfying, but at least she would have already had more impact on the Junior Cup than she did already.
I would have been fine with Dawn still going for the next Wallace Cup if she mentioned how her journey through Hoenn was going when she first arrived. Dawn defeating Ash in their battle would have been nice too, or at least ending it in a tie since it was a cool looking match and just having Cynthia end it wasn't a good way to end it. It was so disappointing to see that her cameo had no significant impact compared to May and even Misty's returns. Even if it was a sudden change just for tradition and bringing back older Pokemon like Piplup to promote again, just a bit more effort put into it could have made this cameo actually mean something significant.

The Handshoe Mouse was recommended as the #1 ergonomic mouse choice at the 2010 Ergo Expo by Alan Hedge, Director of Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory at Cornell University.
An important way to reduce repetitive stress from mousing is to reduce forearm pronation (inward twisting) caused by traditional mice. The HandShoe Mouse accomplishes this by placing your hand at a more neutral angle. This ergonomic mouse's recessed thumb rest places the thumb in a relaxed natural position and holds the rest of the hand in place without needing to grip the mouse. The HandShoe Mouse has a super-high resolution "blueray" sensor to make it accurate and easy to use without pushing it for long distances. With wired and wireless options, users can select the right mouse for them.
An ergonomic mouse should support your hand at an angle of 25 to 30 degrees, according to recent functional and anatomical research. The HandShoe Mouse was designed to provide the ideal angle for your hand, helping you to fully relax your hand as you use your mouse.
Most computer mice are �one size fits all,� but the The HandShoe Mouse is available in three different sizes � small, medium, and large. The different size options help users choose a mouse that will offer them the most relaxed mousing position and the right amount of finger support for comfort and long-term health.
Refer the measurement graphic and table on this page to find the right size for your hand.
Connection | USB Battery of wireless version is charged by USB cable |
Control | Two buttons at ergonomic position plus scroll wheel |
Control mechanism | Blueray track 1000 dpi |
Compatible operating systems | Windows: 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP, Vista, 7 Mac OS: 9, X Unix |
Battery life | ~ 2 years |

We've received feedback that the wireless Handshoe Mouse is slower to wake up than a standard mouse, and users have to reconfigure the mouse on their computer if the battery runs out. We recommend this mouse for users that are technically savvy or don't mind a little lag time on the mouse waking up.

Websites - JumptheShark.comA defining moment when you know that your favorite television program has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it "Jumping the Shark." From that moment on, the program will simply never be the same. he term "jump the shark" was coined by site founder Jon Hein's college roommate of 4 years, Sean J. Connolly, in Ann Arbor, Michigan back in 1985. This web site, book, film, and all other material surrounding shark jumping, are hereby dedicated to "the Colonel." The aforementioned expression refers to the telltale sign of the demise of Happy Days, our favorite example, when Fonzie actually "jumped the shark." The rest is history. Jumping the shark applies not only to TV, but also music, film, even everyday life. We invite you to comment when any show jumped the shark.

1 | Now it appears they are frequently posting articles on that "page" which now is just listed as "Keyword- Jump the Shark" so if any article on their site uses that phrase, it goes there, the chummy churn continues there. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 4, 2014, 6:21 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote |
2 | That is weird. Basically, they use the phrase as a "tag"/ "keyword" in a regular TV Guide article once a month. I wonder if it's some legal thing. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on February 14, 2014, 6:06 pm - (1 votes) - Login to Vote |
3 | Well Well- the Scottish Site hath returned, looks like the Bozos at TV Guide put an entire monthly post on that sad sack site since last September- they must have an intern. Laughably the first post is "Should the X Factor Die Already" how about "Should your website die already" Who are the braindead masses posting on there- they have alot of long winded passionate comments, and I dont see one questioning what a POS that site is now. Go post a comment and tell them to BONE a bit over here. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on February 14, 2014, 6:38 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote |
4 | 2 years, 4 months, 26 days since the last update. Nice Job TV Guide! -- Submitted By: (BrewMaster) on November 22, 2013, 6:46 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote |
5 | As "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase would always say in his wrestling promos, "Everyone has a price!", so I don't fault Hein for selling, like I have said before. What I don't like is how everything had gone down with Jump The Shark after getting sold. That does stink to high heaven. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on November 30, 2012, 1:59 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote |
6 | One more thing, selling JTS was such a cop out. It's like whoever came up with that idiotic idea, was a sensitive ass pansy who couldn't take criticism on TV shows being written and wanted to ruin it for everyone else. Things aren't always picture perfect. There are some shows that i still love but that i put my 2 cents in about because even though i love the show it doesn't mean that it's flawless and that i love every single thing about it. JTS was an outlet for ppl to be honest about when their favorite shows started to go downhill. Once again, i'm grateful for BTF for picking up where JTS left off and showing that lame TVguide site how this shit is really done. Bravo BTF. -- Submitted By: (Icemouth) on November 30, 2012, 7:50 am - (4 votes) - Login to Vote |
7 | Before i knew that the original JTS site was gone, i was trying to find it one day because most of the comments there were hilarious. At first i was led to that shitty tv guide page and thought, what the hell?? Smh. I'm glad Bone The Fish was created, because it does have a similar feel to the JTS site, with other features as well. It's good to be able to comment on and read other's honest opinions on shows that we once were fans of. -- Submitted By: (Icemouth) on November 30, 2012, 7:45 am - (2 votes) - Login to Vote |
8 | Closing in on one year of no updates for the bloated fishy hulk formerly known as "Jump the Shark".... -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on April 23, 2012, 11:25 am - (1 votes) - Login to Vote |
9 | The bizarre thing is that they havent even put one update on in 8 months now. Just have an intern put something on it for goodness sakes. I'd love to talk to the soul-less automatons that run TVG to ask some of these questions: "You paid millions for a website, and shut it down" "Were you afraid they criticized Cousin Oliver too much?"

10 | I don't blame Jon Hein for selling the site if he got a large bit of cash (as is rumored) in return. What amazes me is TV Guide went through the trouble of buying it, then did absolutely nothing with it except gradually shutting it down. -- Submitted By: (John63btf) on February 3, 2012, 8:10 am - (2 votes) - Login to Vote |
11 | Just want to say how much I hate TV guide and that douchebag that used to own the other site-they really know how to mess up a good thing-it was a great site and was like visiting an old familiar place-the new one just sucks-glad to see we are trying to bring it back here! -- Submitted By: (Arkady) on February 2, 2012, 3:08 pm - (1 votes) - Login to Vote |

13 | No, they've had it completely blocked via robots.txt for a while now. It's a shame, because occasionally I'll remember something funny I read on there and I can't go back and "rescue" those anecdotes anymore. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 17, 2012, 2:56 pm - (1 votes) - Login to Vote |
14 | Has anyone been able to access the Vintage Site via the Wayback Machine these last few months? It seems even THAT has been denied the fans. Oh, and if it turned out that TV GUIDE had a Mama Carlson MO re the site purchase, it wouldn't come as a total surprise to me! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on January 15, 2012, 1:22 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote |
15 | I don't visit because I don't want to give it any hits. Besides, it's like looking at roadkill; the only difference will be more tire marks than from last time. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on January 14, 2012, 1:09 pm - (1 votes) - Login to Vote |
16 | Thanks for the updates. I sometimes feel tempted to check up on JTS, but I don't want to give them any "hits". I want them to get no site traffic and I want the idiot that decided to wreck the site to get fired. Of course, the world being the way it is, that person is probably still gainfully employed at TV Guide and laughing it up with the guy who invented New Coke at some bar right now. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on January 11, 2012, 1:45 am - (1 votes) - Login to Vote |
17 | Nice to know TV Guide can afford to pay millions to buy something and then intentionally ruin it. What a waste. On several levels. -- Submitted By: (DolFan316) on January 10, 2012, 9:18 pm - (2 votes) - Login to Vote |
18 | @Chubby Rain: It seems like the current owners of the "Scottish Site" just don't care about the site that much. -- Submitted By: (cartooner) on January 10, 2012, 8:07 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote |
19 | Just stopped by to look at the bloated festering corpse of JTS on the TV guide website- and the "Scottish Site" seems to be dead in the water- last update was on June 27th of 2011. Really makes you wonder what the last person that even worked on that site did- were they asked to turn off the lights? And will the domain name even really be used much longer, and why did TVG even pay for it at this point. While they gutted the original concept for a new poor concept, they are not even doing that now- dont they have an intern that could post pictures of Jersey Shore Cast members or something? Boned to infinity. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on January 10, 2012, 10:42 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote |
20 | i think this topic is as no-brainer for any former JTS fans like me -- TV Guide destroyed it. -- Submitted By: (ocfernan) on November 6, 2011, 7:13 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote |

Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5726 Annual Calendar Watch
The style of the watch and the case is all Nautilus in a 40.5mm wide case (water resistant to 120 meters). While the case is in steel, the hour markers and hands are in white gold. The dial is beautiful and easy to read - an instant classic that immediately fits in with the rest of the Patek Philippe Nautilus collection. Now if they only made a version a bit larger at about 42-44mm wide... The only strap available is the black alligator you see here. No metal bracelet it seems the price for the Ref. 5726 watch is likely to be about $40,000 when it is available soon.

eTutorials » Optimizing Large PDF Files
Many PDFs carry excessive weight; the large file size slows down PDF performance, creates email problems and printer jams, and can be a source of user frustration.
It's a good idea to aim for the smallest possible file size, unless you are preparing a PDF for high quality print.
To create the smallest possible PDF for faster web delivery and retain a good office printing quality:
- Audit Space Usage
- Use "Save As" command not "Save"
- Optimize images, scanned pages, and transparency
- Minimize the number of fonts and do not embed them
- Minimize the number of bitmapped images
- Use the RGB not CMYK Color Space
- Choose the latest possible PDF version while saving the file
- Remove unused elements and clean up the document
Audit Space Usage
You can audit the PDF file first to see which elements are significantly large.
- Choose Advanced > PDF Optimizer
- Click Audit Space Usage
- The audit results list the bytes used by each element and its percentage of the document's total size
Use "Save As" command, not "Save"
- After making changes, choose File > Save As
- By default, it removes changes that are appended to PDFs by the Save command, and unused objects
- Save the file with the same name to overwrite the original one
Optimize images, scanned pages, and transparency
- Choose Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Images to select compression options for color, grayscale, and monochrome images
- Compression eliminates unnecessary data
- Downsampling lowers the resolution of bitmaps (photographic) images
- Use JPEG for photographs and other images with continuous tone. You can select a quality level to determine how much pixel data is removed (lower quality means smaller file but you need to watch out image quality)
- ZIP is good for illustrations with large areas of solid color
- Use JBIG2 for monochrome images
Later versions of Acrobat allow you to reduce PDF size by simply choosing Document > Optimize Scanned PDF
minimize the number of fonts and do not embed them
- Fonts can have a big impact on PDF file size. Minimizing the number of fonts you use will make the pdf smaller
- If you use a common (system) font, unembed it. Each additional fully embedded font can easily add up to 40K to file size
- Be aware that if the font is not available on other machines, Acrobat will display a substitute
- Go to Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Fonts. Choose the fonts to be unembedded
Minimize the number of bitmapped images
- For bitmap graphics, prepare them in a graphics program (such as Adobe Photoshop)
- Do not insert the large images into PDF — resize them to the dimensions needed while still within the graphics application
- Lower image resolution. 72-100 dpi is enough for web PDF and should be enough for office printing
- Use the best quality images. Inserting already compressed JPEGs into PDFs can create noticeable pixelation
- Use black and white images and text instead of color images if you can
- Be sure to turn off thumbnails when saving PDFs for the Web
- Use vector-based graphics if possible. They scale better, and usually take up less space. Wikipedia about vector graphics »
- Acrobat Reader version 5 and 6 also support the SVG standard. SVG format helps reduce the file size
Use the RGB not CMYK Color Space
- For web PDFs use the RGB color space, not CMYK. RGB has one less data channel than CMYK, so files are that much smaller in size
- For office printing, when color accuracy is not critical, it is also ok to use RGB space
- Go to Advanced > Print Production > Convert Colors
- Check the Output intent box. Choose sRGB profile
Choose the newest possible PDF Version
- In general, the later the PDF version, the smaller the file
- Since over 90% of Acrobat users have version 5.0 or greater, using PDF 1.4 is safe
Remove unused elements and clean up the document
Go to Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects
- Select the version of Acrobat that you want to make the document compatible with, and then any additional items that you don't use
- On the Clean Up panel, choose a compression option and then select which items to remove
- The Clean Up panel lets you remove elements from the PDF document that you don't need. The options that are selected by default don't affect functionality, but other options may, so be careful when selecting unfamiliar options
- Save the optimized PDF file under a new name so that you leave the original PDF document unchanged

Better yet, are there any Spacewalk-like software that works for both RedHat-based and Debian-based systems?
Take the 2-minute tour
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There is. In addition to straight Puppet and Spacewalk, there is a puppet-based system called "foreman" that does most of what you're looking for. while the screenshot does show CentOS and Windows clients, it does have Ubuntu support I've used it and I recommend giving it a go. |
According to the FAQ, Spacewalk supports Debian, so it may support Ubuntu as well. http://spacewalk.redhat.com/faq.html If you are looking for configuration options for a large environment, you could take a look at Puppet http://puppetlabs.com/ |

Food & Wine Festival
and Wine Pairing Workshop
Attended by Deb Wills
September 30, 2006
5 Artisian Cheese and 2 Wines
President Madrigal
Istara Ossau Iraty
Valbresso Feta
Societe Roquefort
New for 2006, this was the first Cheese and Wine Pairing Workshop of the Festival. Ariel's, located at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, was our home as we learned all about cheese and wine.
The session was outstanding, in large part due to our speaker Waldemar Albrecht. He truly approached the session to impart his love and knowledge of artisan cheeses to all attendees.
Tables were arranged in small groups and each place setting was meticulously arranged with crackers, glasses, cheese and printed information.
Waldemar began with the history of cheese and progressed into ways of making cheese. We learned about the types of cheeses, how to pair wine and cheese, and why some pairings work so well and others don't. A fairly indepth discussion followed about the 6 types of cheeses (whey, stretched curd, soft ripen, semi-soft, washed rine and hard cheese).
He explained that cheese stays on the palet for a while, so best to taste the wine first, and then the wine and cheese together. The white wine was Red Bicycletter, 2004 Chardonay. Alone you could taste the apples, pears, and almost a stone/mineral flavor. The red was the Mouton Cadet Bordeaux 2003, ruby red with dark berries and a medium body.
Waldemar explained to us to have a bite of cheese and chew it a couple times, then drink the wine. When your swallow is complete you should have equal flavors of the wine and cheese lingering - then you know you have a great pairing! After tasting the wines, we then tasted each cheese first with the white wine and then with the red wine. Overall the red wine paired better with the selection of cheeses than the white did.
Three important factors to keep in mind when pairing cheese and wine. Concept - those made in the same region work well together. Acidity Levels - tend to compliment each other. Level of salt and sweetness - with a hardy salty blue cheese a dessert style wine pairs best. The one thing he did stress is that ultimately, it is up to the taster what cheese go well with what wines.
After the 90 minutes, I wanted to try more cheese and wine, but it was time to go. I felt this event was well worth the $45 and hope your instructor is as enthusiastic as Waldemar Albrecht! As I said in the beginning, this was a wonderful seminar made extra special by Waldemar's approach to passing on his love of cheese with each one of us.

The desert landscape south of Las Vegas can be a desolate, harsh and foreboding place. The clear skies and diverging lines of US 95 (Veterans Memorial Highway) and US 93 will lull an aviator into a sense of complacency. Reach for the Phoenix sectional, grab a sip of water or even blink at an inopportune time and you'll miss the town of Cal-Nev-Ari, Nevada and Kidwell Airport (1L4).
Kidwell Airport is just one of the hard packed, dirt airstrips flanking US 95 south of Boulder City. From the air you'll see the Cal-Nev-Ari water tank. Look further south and a large painted KIDWELL will appear on the roof of one of the town's out buildings. The tattered and faded orange windsocks gently swaying in the breeze will lead you to the approach end of Runway 33.
Cal-Nev-Ari is what happens when dreams meet hard work. In the early 1960s, pilots Nancy Kidwell and her late husband Slim wanted to run their own airport. Slim noticed an abandoned military training base (Stage Field) approximately 70 miles south of Las Vegas. After acquiring the land for free under the federal Pittman Land Act, and proving they could find sufficient water, Cal-Nev-Ari was born. "Population 4 - Watch Us Grow" (Nancy, Slim, their dog and cat). Everette G. "Slim" Kidwell died in the 1980s after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Years later Ace, Slim's son from another marriage, married Nancy and they grew this serene little place to more than 300 residents. Verne William "Ace" Kidwell passed in early 2011 and now Nancy just can't take care of her town any more.
Sound quirky, picturesque and intriguing? It's for sale. Nancy, now 73-years-old, listed the whole kit-and-caboodle for a mere $17 million. Write a check and become the proud owner of just over 600 acres of dirt. The deal includes the three deep-water wells, sewer system, utility company, voluntary fire department, market, mobile home and RV park, the airport and the casino and restaurant.
Cal-Nev-Ari Casino and Restaurant, the Kidwell's dessert culinary oasis, is a cross between a truck stop, a greasy spoon and a seedy little off-strip Vegas casino. It certainly has charm. The parking lot is a snapshot of small town America. Several pick-up trucks towing weekend fishing boats mingle with compact rent-a-wrecks, extra wide RVs and the occasional semi-tractor trailer. A friendly wave and a "hello" will great you almost the minute your mains touchdown. The peaceful exterior masks the heart and communal gathering place of the town. There's a steady flow of highway travelers, aged aviators and local retirees expressing opinions about politics and picking-up food to go.

In what's becoming an increasingly alarming trend, Rickie Weeks didn't bring anything to the table offensively tonight. He struck out in each of his four plate appearances, raising his season total to 48 in 37 Brewer games. He's on pace to strike out 210 times this season, which would be the third highest mark in National League history.
Weeks has multiple strikeouts in eight of his last eleven appearances (and one of the others was a single plate appearance as a pinch hitter). This is the eighteenth time he's had multiple K's in a game this season, which is already tied for the 118th highest single-season total in Brewer franchise history. He's on pace to do it 79 times this season, which would blow away the franchise record:

Nitpicking a 22-point win by a team nobody expected to be this good
This Chiefs team is real. Revisionist history will allow every fan in this city to claim to have believed all along, the white lie right of every man, woman and child.
For the record, my mind began to change during the Indianapolis game. Feel free to claim Monday night against the Chargers.
Anyway, wrote plenty about the good in today's column, primarily about the artist formerly known as D-Bowe.
There are all sorts of reasons to be happy today, many more than the reasons to be skeptical. But just like there was confidence to be taken from parts of losses at Indy and Houston, there is worry to be taken from at least one part of the win against Jacksonville.
Specifically, it's Todd Haley's bizarre decision to go for a 4th-and-3 instead of a 42-yard field goal that would've given the Chiefs a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter.
Haley gave a non-explanation about it in the postgame, something about not wanting to give away his thought process for competitive reasons, but saying that it was a well thought-out decision and that decisions like this are based on many things, some short-term, some long-term, and, well, none of that really explains a decision that's about as black-and-white wrong as it gets in football.
Maybe Ryan Succop is hurt, though there's no real indication of that. And the extreme stat-nerd crowd has already written in about why coaches should go for more fourth-and-shorts, which I actually agree with in general, but not in this case because of the game situation.
Look, this isn't a place where the coach looks like a genius if it works and a moron if it doesn't. There was some of that in Indy, when the Chiefs went for the onsides kick to open the game* and a fourth down in the first quarter**.
* I liked the call, even though it didn't work, and even though Haley gave a bizarre explanation for that one, too, saying that a high percentage of teams that've tried it ended up winning the game, regardless of whether the actual onsides kick worked, ignoring a ridiculously small sample size and all sorts of common sense.
** I didn't mind going for it, but the play-call was questionable.
There are a million choices football coaches have during every game, and while debating them is part of the fun, there is often a reasonable-people-can-disagree element to it. But not here.
It doesn't matter because the Chiefs went on to score 42 points and win by 22, so the decision shrinks from front-page column to blog post, but it does highlight Haley's self-recognized gambling nature.
It's one of the Haley's endearing qualities, honestly, at least most of the time. He doesn't bow to conventional wisdom, which is probably part of the package necessary for Haley's unique path to NFL head coach.
But this is one place where the line crossed from gamble to reckless. Haley and the Chiefs got away with it yesterday, but that it's something to at least be concerned about going forward.
Let's see. An NFL kicker makes a 42 yard FG 75% of the time. The Chiefs are averaging about 5 yds/attempt rushing the ball. From a purely statistical point of view ( and coaches eat, sleep and breath stats) I think Coach Haley deserves a lot of credit for going for it on 4th and 3. It not only shows the Offense that he has faith in them. It also shows the Defense that he has confidence in them should the attempt fail. Either way, Coach Haley is showing the team that he is confident in their ability to perform. It may not always pan out, but the more the Coach shows his confidence in the team, the more likely they will they will be successful in the future. SUCCESS BREEDS SUCCESS. At this level everybody is talented. The main thing that separates the successful from the not successful is mental toughness and attitude. Coach Haley is building that toughness and deserves credit for doing so. It should pay big dividends as the season progresses.
