5 Ways to Save Money in a Small Town
Tweet |
Most of the coupon workshops I teach are located in small towns and they only have one grocery store and usually a Dollar General. In fact, the town I live in really consists of only two stores. For some, this makes couponing difficult however, I promise, there are still ways to save in small towns.
1. Use Coupons: Even if your one grocery store does not take internet coupons, they probably take manufacturers coupons from the paper. You can still get your local newspaper and/or purchase coupons online then combine those with sales for the best prices. If your store does not accept internet coupons, find out if that is something they would consider doing in the future.
*Added Bonus* I've found local store owners are much easier to talk to when it comes to couponing. You may be able to persuade them to use internet coupons or even hold double coupon events. Although, if your store does not double coupons, you can still save money!
2. Stockpile: As you learn how to find those rock bottom deals, begin to stockpile those items so you don't have to make huge weekly grocery trips. Check out Stockpiling vs. Hoarding for the low down. This is key to saving money and when you see those manager's specials, pick up a couple of extras!
3. Plan Your Menu: Shop around what deals and sales are available to you and stick to the menu! Use your stockpile to help you plan your weekly menus and cut costs. The added benefit here is that we do provide weekly meals plus the coupons to go with them in on our Menu Planning page!
4. Shop local farms: Many of these small towns are full of local farmers that sell produce at rock bottom prices. Stock up on these items and learn how to freeze and can fruits and veggies so you can enjoy the savings all year long. One of my favorite things to do is find a farmer on the side of the road selling fruit out of the back of his truck. Love that.
5. Shop Around: If you make a trip into the city, take your coupons with you! Stock up on essentials while you are there to keep you until your next trip. Also, be sure to check out all the coupons and deals of every store in your town. You will find some are way better than others.
Strategic shopping is really a mindset. Once you learn how to save money, you'll start finding new ways to save all over the place. If you're new to this type of shopping, be sure to check out our Couponing 101 page full of articles to help you save 80% on your grocery bill and check our Printable Coupon page for great coupons too. Becoming a strategic shopper in a small town is not as difficult as you may think but it does take a little creativity. Learning how to coupon and getting a good stockpile going, will help you keep those last minute grocery trips to a minimum.
You'll always have to buy certain items fresh like eggs or milk but everything else can be bought at the right time and at the right price then stockpiled for later.
Happy small town savings!

A week at Philmont is the ultimate family vacation
My first visit to Philmont was for one of the training center's stellar family programs. It wasn't my last.
During that week there, I met new friends, hiked in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and became inspired to return to Philmont again and again.
While my mom, older sister, and I enjoyed separate programs designed for our age group, my dad participated in one of the Training Center's innovative conference sessions.
Looking back now, I'm grateful that my dad decided to bring the whole gang to Philmont. It was one of our best family vacations.
And besides, why should Dad get to have all the fun?
This year, the Philmont Training Center's family programs are back for another fun-filled summer. So if you're registered for a summer conference, don't forget to bring your family.
The family programs are for everyone—from infants to spouses—and are led by trained, experienced staff members.
The fees for the family programs are more than reasonable and include conference materials, meals, and lodging:
- Conference attendees, $470
- Spouses, $340
- Kids 14-20, $285
- Kids 6-13, $225
- Kids 5 and under, $180
- Mountain trek, $345
Compare those prices to a week at Disney World, for example, and you'll see that it's a great deal. And as an added bonus: You won't find hourlong lines or crowded buses at Philmont.

About this font family
A rounded slab in 5 weights, romans plus italics.
In our age, since the arrival of microcomputing, the majority of professional letters have been composed in quality typefaces. Typewriters & the typestyles they used have become antiques. A letter set in Times or Helvetica & printed with a laser printer at 600 dpi or more are of such quality that one can no longer distinguish it with a document produced by offset printing. But letters composed in this way appear overly institutional when a bit of informality is needed.

Yanks, Twins looking to head into break on high note
Sabathia, Gibson to start season's first-half finale at Yankee Stadium
With vital staples missing from their lineup this year, the Yankees have still managed to stay in the race in the American League East.
With Sunday's series finale against the Twins the last game before the All-Star break, the Yankees are 51-43 coming off Saturday's 4-1 loss, and they are amongst the crowd contending for a division title and Wild Card spot.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi won't take credit for New York's ability to stay above .500 at this point in the season, especially given all it has gone through.
"I'm going to give the credit to my coaches and what the players have done," Girardi said. "Those are the guys that have to get it done. The players have to go out and perform. As coaches, we try to prepare them and put them in situations where they can perform. The bottom line is, you don't make the pitches, you don't get the hits, you don't win games."
While the Yankees are 30-1 this season when scoring five or more runs, Girardi said the key to their success is just putting together the right formula where the offense continues to back up strong pitching.
"I think these guys have played extremely well, I do," Girardi said. "I think we've pitched well, I think we've played well. … It's been a formula where I've said we'll have to win the close games. That's what we're going to have to do because we're not going to score the runs that we have in the past here. We've been able to do that for the most part."
One of the Yankees' strongest starters, CC Sabathia, gets the start Sunday. Sabathia pitched in the Target Field series finale July 3 and gave up two runs on seven hits and three walks over seven innings of work to earn a win. He also struck out nine. Sabathia is 9-7 this year with a 3.99 ERA and 112 strikeouts in 19 starts.
The Twins will turn to their youngest starter Sunday, Kyle Gibson. Sunday will be Gibson's fourth Major League start and his second against the Yankees. On July 4, Gibson took the loss after he gave up eight runs on 11 hits and one walk in only 5 1/3 innings pitched. Gibson holds a 1-2 record with a 7.27 ERA.
Twins: Offensive struggles root cause of slump
While the Twins earned their second win in 14 games Saturday, their offense has remained anemic throughout their 2-12 stretch heading toward the All-Star break.
The Twins have been able to hit, but they simply haven't been able to score. In its last six games Minnesota is 5-for-47 with runners in scoring position.
"If I could slide [Mauer] by, I would bat him in four different slots," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
"Ultimately it comes down to somebody getting it done. We have a couple of real good days in a row where the ball starts flying everywhere, and you take off from there. That's the only way to get confidence going. It has to happen on the field."
Yankees: Girardi not worrying about injured veterans
It's no secret the Yankees have suffered their fair share of injuries this season -- particularly to veteran players.
Derek Jeter finally returned from recovering from a double fracture in his ankle, only to strain his right quad in his first game back. Alex Rodriguez is still rehabbing from hip surgery, and Curtis Granderson has yet to start his rehab assignment as he's still on the mend from a broken left pinkie.
But instead of worrying about when his lineup will return to normal, Girardi is focusing on the guys he has.
"I think it's the same attitude that we've had all year long," Girardi said. "Obviously, you expect guys to come back, but you don't put a date on it. You just go out and play every day. For me, I worry about things when they come across my desk, and not before. These are the guys that have played well for us, and you just go out every day and concentrate on that day."
Worth noting
• Phil Hughes struck out 10 Twins on Saturday, and the Yankees' bullpen added one more, the 11-K day coming after New York pitchers recorded 12 strikeouts Friday night.
• With Saturday's win, the Twins earned just their eighth win at Yankee Stadium (old or new) since 2002. In that stretch, they are 8-31.

White Sox counting on Noesi to fill void in rotation
Righty makes second start; Jackson tries to even crosstown series
Missing three-fifths of the starting rotation by time May rolled around isn't exactly what White Sox general manager Rick Hahn had in mind for his ballclub.
You can bet he always has a Plan B lined up in case of injury -- but it's on to Plan C, D and E at this point with Chris Sale and Felipe Paulino on the shelf and Erik Johnson having been demoted to Triple-A because of ineffectiveness.
The White Sox GM has been forced to look for pitching help from a number of unlikely sources. One of those sources, Hector Noesi, will make his second start of the season Tuesday night when the Cubs and White Sox square off in the second of two games at Wrigley Field before the series shifts to the south side.
"It's not exactly how we drew it up, having 60 percent of the rotation from Opening Day no longer part of the equation right now. … Noesi is probably the one we are putting the most on in trying to transition him into a starter in-season, which he's been there before, so it's not completely unrealistic, but also a little tough to do on the fly," Hahn said before Monday's 3-1 win.
Noesi, who last started in 2012, looked good early on in his first start of 2014. He needed just 27 pitches to get through three scoreless innings against the Tigers, retiring nine in a row at one point, before tiring in the fourth. Detroit's hitters adjusted the second time through the order and scored four runs in the frame off Noesi, who was pulled after 3 2/3 innings.
He'll square off with one-time White Sox hurler Edwin Jackson, who will look to bounce back from a mediocre performance in his last start. Jackson got the win Wednesday in Cincinnati despite allowing four earned runs in 5 2/3 innings.
Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo helped Jackson escape with the win with a two-run home run and three runs scored. Some have questioned Rizzo's long-term viability at first for the Cubs, but he received a vote of confidence from a White Sox veteran who knows a thing or two about playing first and hitting.
"Rizzo's a good player, great on defense," said longtime first baseman Paul Konerko. "You know he's a stud."
White Sox: Ventura hopes to get Konerko in at Wrigley
Konerko hates the idea of his final season feeling like a fairwell tour, but even he couldn't deny Tuesday's game will be his final at Wrigley Field, a place he said he's always enjoyed.
Part of it is the history behind Wrigley that had Konerko recalling the days when he could enjoy the Wrigleyville bars after the game without anyone knowing who he was. The other part is that Konerko is a career .311 hitter with seven homers and 26 RBIs in 34 career games on the North Side.
"When the wind's blowing out here, I'd dress in the street to play here," he said.
Konerko maintained that 95 percent of his focus remains on trying to impact the game in a significant way, and that probably five percent is devoted to "taking some stuff in" at the Friendly Confines for the final time.
"You try and find a spot that makes sense to get him in there and do it," Ventura said. "You would love to, any time he's in a place for the last time. I don't see us making another run here at any point this season, so you would like to get him in there. He hits pretty good here, so it would also be nice if he would hit a homer."
Konerko pinch-hit in the 12th inning of the 3-1 win Monday. He was hit by a pitch and replaced at first by pitcher Andre Rienzo.
Cubs: Pink out planned for Tuesday's game
Fans attending Tuesday's game are encouraged to wear pink. Cubs Charities will team up with Advocate Health Care to "Pink Out" the Budweiser Bleachers. This is the Cubs' last home game before Mother's Day, and each fan siting in the bleachers will receive a Cubs Charities "Save 2nd Base" shirt to promote breast cancer awareness and celebrate moms and women everywhere who are cancer survivors. T-shirts will be distributed at the gates by Cubs wives.
The Cubs Store, located across Wrigley Field at the corner of Clark and Addison Streets, will display a "Pink Out" section with pink Cubs merchandise and a 10 percent discount on engraved pink bats.
All fans in attendance are encouraged to participate in the Cubs Charities 50/50 raffle because proceeds will benefit mammograms for under-insured and uninsured women through Advocate Charitable Foundation.
Worth noting
• Jose Quintana took another no-decision in Monday night's game despite seven innings of one-run ball. It marked his 31st no-decision since the start of 2012, extending his lead in that category. Jeff Samardzija tossed nine innings of one-run ball but remained winless (0-3) in seven starts despite a 1.62 ERA.
• Alexei Ramirez recorded his 1,000th career hit with a 12th-inning single Monday night.
• Jose Abreu notched his American League-leading 35th RBI with a first-inning sac fly to right. He trails Giancarlo Stanton by two RBIs for the Major League lead.
• Rizzo extended his hitting streak to five games on Monday and is hitting .386 in 17 home games.
• Rizzo committed an error in the fourth inning of Monday's game to snap his 56-game errorless streak at first base dating back to Sept. 1, 2013. It was the longest such streak for a Cubs first baseman since Derek Lee went 59 straight games without committing an error from April 7-June 13, 2010.
• Samardzija broke up Quintana's no-hitter with a double to lead off the sixth inning. He's the first Cubs pitcher since 1974 to break up an opponent's no-hit bid in the sixth inning or later, per STATS Inc.

As pot busts go, the Tuesday arrest of Mammoth resident James Carlson was over the top.
The bust was by Mono County sheriff deputies assigned to the Mono Narcotics Enforcement Team (MONET), according to a press release from the sheriff's office. One deputy as wearing in street clothes. The other deputy was wearing sweater over his uniform and a portion of his duty gun belt. Yet another, a specialist from the California Drug Enforcement Section, were traveling in an unmarked MONET vehicle on Frontage Road in Mammoth.
They observed Carlson, a Mammoth resident, walking past A-Frame liquor store with a large backpack. The deputies pulled up next to Carlson and asked, "Hey bro, do you know where the dispensary is?"
Carlson replied to the deputies, "You looking for some Medies? I got some right here, bro," while walking over to the car.
Carlson stated that he had some killer weed from Humboldt and a scale in his backpack. One deputy stated that he had $70. Carlson then asked if he could weigh it out in the (undercover MONET) car.
The deputy had to move some equipment marked "Sheriff" into the trunk while Carlson waited. Carlson got in and exchanged the marijuana for the money. During the transaction, the uniformed deputy's duty belt was partially visible but Carlson didn't notice.
The deputies let Carlson exit the vehicle and then gave him the bad news that they were cops. Carlson stated he thought they were cops but needed the money.
Carlson was then arrested and taken to Bridgeport where he is currently in custody in the Mono County Jail for selling marijuana to sheriff's deputies.

Phoronix: Firefox 18.0 Lets Loose IonMonkey Compiler
One thing to note is that Ionmonkey is used only for long running code, like Games and web-applications.
For the usual JS used in web pages, the older "Jagermonkey+Typed Inference" is used.
I just compared the two. Firefox 18 was actually slower than Firefox 17 running Sunspider
The problem with Firefox is not 'speed'. Well, not speed by their definition. The Mozilla team defines 'speed' in the sense of bandwidth: how many operations/second the browser is capable of bringing. This is the wrong definition for most users.
Another very big problem with Firefox is that there is no true separation between tabs. Several times a day it happens that I open a few tabs in the background, only to get Firefox unresponsive due to one of the tabs behaving badly. This is unacceptable. In Google's Chrome tabs are separated to different processes and the browser never becomes unresponsive.
Mozilla should fix the real problems, not some niche geeky problems. If they don't they will continue to loose market share in an alarming rate.
Actually the javascript disaster of Firefox is an example of really poor management.
I can't remember how often the code-generation stage got completely rewritten in the last couple of yours, and now basically they end up with something similar to V8 (developed by google).
For me the big question actually is:
- Why not opt for a clean design in the first place? Compiling dynamically typed languages is not something that has not been there before...
- Why not use the code developed by google? V8 simply is the fastest javascript runtime, and its open-source
The same basically goes for gecko. Why develop everything by yourself, when you can get it for free elsewhere. Actually gecko's clumsy codebase is the reason why firefox still does not have features like process-per-tab, and why a heavy web-app in one thread can destrroy the browsing experience of another tab (as everything is strictly single-threaded).
However, I still use FireFox as its graphic rendering engine based on Cairo is painting web-pages at light velocity when using intel's SNA drivers =)
There is one major upside to only one process for the browser. It uses a LOT less RAM.
Ok, lets talk about threads. As threads share the same process space, there is no real disadvanatge to use multiple threads - however, Firefox has an inherently single-threaded rendering model/engine.
Using multiple threads would allow multicore-CPUs to shine, and it would reduce the amount of stutter when one tab taxes the CPU,
firefox.com still shows 17.01
I can't update since repos are all at 17
For me, performance is not the issue. I mean, in a geeky way it is exciting, but that is about it.
I find Chrome extremely frustrating to use due to its tab management, and complete lack of customizability. Not to mention its tendency to use a noticeable more bandwith due to constant pre-cacheing. I also find Chrome uses significantly more processing resources ony my notebook, as much as halving battery life, and hogging all my memory when I need it.
I'm not disputing that they didn't have some mismanagement, it was silly that they have had four different javascript engines in the way, but I support the concept of more-than-one reference open-source implementation. That is the best part of opensource, isn't it?

Phoronix: Ted Ts'o: EXT4 Within Striking Distance Of XFS
There's just two months to go until the annual Linux.Conf.Au conference, which in 2011 is taking place in Brisbane, Australia. Ted Ts'o, the maintainer of the EXT4, will be speaking at the 2011 Linux.Conf.Au and he's just shared his "money shot" from his presentation about this evolutionary file-system building atop EXT2/EXT3. New benchmarking results from HP's Eric Whitney on a large multi-core system indicate that "[EXT4 is] now within striking distance of XFS."..
Thanks for that image, Michael. :\Ted Ts'o, the maintainer of the EXT4, [...] just shared his "money shot" from his presentation
Let me get this stright: is xfs _with_ journaling still faster than ext4 _without_ journaling in that test?
Who wants a business-grade filesystem without journaling?
Why don't you look at the graph in the linked blog post? There isn't much difference between ext4+journal and ext4-journal.
Yes, XFS is still faster in the tested scenario. The point is that EXT4 got a huge speed boost on systems with many cores/threads and gets close to XFS, which had previously been all alone in that segment.
What's the point of a journaling filesystem like ext4 without active journaling? And i think the difference with many threads is still huge.
This isn't too surprising. XFS is a production-quality, mature filesystem that does extremely well for certain workloads, and manages to pull respectable performance even in sub-optimal workloads. Plus I have never lost data on an XFS system. EXT4 is a spring chicken by comparison. It will still be a few years until Btrfs or EXT4 have the long history and ruggedness of XFS, and as many of Michael's articles show, EXT4 has some pretty severe slow paths for certain operations.
I did look at those graphs. At 192 threads the difference between journal and no journal on ext4 is in the range of 30-40%. I think this is a big difference.
I agree. The patches almost tripled ext4 performance in that scenario (which btw, is of no interest for any home user, and most likely will not be in any foreseeable future).
ext4 is faster with current 2.6.36 for me than xfs - so
(I'm a desktop/home-user so that doesn't tell much about ext4' scalability abilities )
A filesystem where a simple rename can result in complete data loss is a bad, stupid joke.
BTRFS is infected with the same idiocy. There is something more important than speed:
Resier4 was able to guarantee atomicity years ago - and its 'layer violations' are less blatant than the ones of BTRFS. One is in the kernel, the other is not.

Find the Right Finishing Workflow for Short-Run Books
College kids can be rough on book bindings. I witnessed this firsthand, along with learning to tolerate the pungent fumes from hot-melt adhesive, as an under-graduate student working in a campus library's binding repair department. Perhaps it was destiny that brought me into this crazy industry because the Elliott Donnelley Library bore the name of a prominent Chicago printing family who gave a lot of money to Lake Forest College, the tiny liberal-arts school I attended. A grandson of Richard Robert (RR) Donnelley, Elliott was a lifelong resident of the highly affluent suburb of Lake Forest, IL, nestled 30 miles north of Chicago. Just east of campus, the family's stately, gated estate features the shore of Lake Michigan in its backyard.
It was there, in the Donnelley Library, that I experienced books in a different way and learned to appreciate a solid binding job. No matter whether it is printed conventional web-offset or digitally, any book truly is not finished until it is bound. And when it comes to high-volume production, today's ultra-fast, highly automated sheetfed offset presses have no problem printing tens of thousands of sheets per hour. On the digital front, high-speed inkjet printing will have a significant impact on book manufacturing — "the biggest development in publishing in the past 50 years," predicted one panelist at Kodak's "Future of Book Publishing" roundtable in January, held at the New York Public Library. The challenge for printers is identifying the right finishing solution so their customers can realize the benefits of inkjet technology.
The pressing question: Can post-press machines keep up the pace in the manufacturing relay race? Slowing production via the dreaded bindery bottleneck is a problem that offset printers have battled for decades. And with faster digital print technologies, including the new inkjet web presses now available, how does 21st-century printing technology integrate into book manufacturing and publishing—especially with output capacities as high as 70 million pages per month, as is the case with HP's T300 model? Featuring a 30-inch-wide paper web, it's capable of printing 200-page books at a clip of 500 per hour. Hewlett-Packard now has more than 20 global installations of full-color inkjet webs (a total of 42 engines), with at least 13 designed for book printing. The production volume of these devices (including direct mail applications) amounted to one billion pages last year, reports InfoTrends.
To finish digitally produced book pages, should printers work with inline units, or should they take the books off-line or near-line to finish them? Each set up has its fans, of course, and its place. Until its purchase of a Xerox iGen 4 digital press, a commercial printer overseas had been using a rather complex inline finishing line. "With the set-up times and skill required to get the machine going, all the benefit of short-run digital was going out the window," laments the firm's GM. "I was having to print off 300 copies to get 200 copies finished -- taking a lot of the profit out of shorter run jobs," he told Graphic Repro of South Africa last month. Late last year the shop switched to a Duplo System 5000 bookletmaker and already is finishing nearly 100,000 books per month. Its configuration consists of two DC-10/60Pro 10-bin suction collator towers, DBM-500 stitch and fold bookletmaker and DBM-500T fore-edge trimmer. The system runs up to 5,000 booklets per hour and features tool-less, fully automatic set-up and changeover between jobs. But that is only one of numerous in-line examples.
A Sprinter's Pace
Worldcolor (now part of Quad/Graphics), which manufactures nearly one billion books per year, chose the SigmaLine in-line digital book manufacturing solution for its Dubuque, IA facility. Muller Martini has partnered with Kodak on the advanced finishing system for the Prosper 5000XL inkjet web press. SigmaLine technology interconnects prepress, digital printing and finishing in a total system that permits fully automated production from a PDF to a finished book in a single operation, says Muller Martini. Worldcolor has dubbed the system "FastBook Digital." Supported by as few as two operators, it offers a shorter-run, quicker-turn production option for publishers seeking to decrease book obsolescence waste, reduce forecasting risks and better manage book inventories, says the mega printer.
Worldcolor/Quad's mid-2010 installation of SigmaLine components included a fully format variable signature folder, collator for book block creation, and a perfect binding line with SigmaBinder, SigmaTower and SigmaTrimmer. The firm's SigmaBuffer intelligently decouples the print, fold, and collating operations from binding and trimming while simultaneously connecting them in-line. The total digital solution is managed by Muller Martini's end-to-end Connex workflow system.
One of the key features of the digital solution is its scalable capabilities, which allow printers to seamlessly expand their SigmaLine configurations to address both today's and tomorrow's printing requirements. For example, before adding the SigmaLine signature folding/collating technology and the Prosper 5000XL press featuring Kodak's Stream inkjet technology, Worldcolor had implemented the perfect binding line within its existing digital operation. "We recognize that the productivity demanded by inkjet digital technology warrants the highly unique capabilities of the in-line SigmaLine solution," says Gary Durand, operations EVP of Quad/Worldcolor. The system produces up to 1,000 books an hour in color and black-and-white with quality levels and a price point superior to many conventional short-run book manufacturing applications, say its developers. Run lengths up to 3,500 copies are expected to show customer benefits when compared to traditional alternatives.
As previously reported in Printing News (Dec. 2010), book printer Offset Paperback Manufacturers (OPM), Dallas, PA, a $350 million Bertelsmann unit, has invested some $5 million in its inkjet web digital production platform, which includes two Kodak Prosper models (a monochrome 1000 and a color 5000XL) as well a $ 2 million in-line bindery set-up from Muller Martini.
In Toronto, Webcom's Mike Collinge turned the digital finishing speed challenge into his $50-million book printing firm's new strategy. The CEO recalls seeing the new inkjet web presses at Drupa 08. "We realized [then] what we needed was a full manufacturing solution, through to bound product," Collinge says. The Webcom management team conducted research and did due diligence for 18 months before opting for the HP and Magnum Flex Book combination to comprise its Book FWD program – part of a $12 million overall investment in their 180,000-square-foot operation. The T300 inkjet web was installed in late 2009, making Webcom only the eighth printer worldwide to use the new HP technology for book manufacturing production. One year later, Webcom added a Flex Book line from Magnum Digital Solutions. Flex Book provides an efficient method for the production of fused, easy-to-handle book blocks. Using cut-sheet technology, it produces a high-quality book block sans the common shingling and bottling problems found in folding technologies employing signature solutions.
"Low/no makeready is key," Collinge told Graphic Monthly (Canada) recently. Simotion software enables Book Flex to offer automated, zero-makeready changeovers for same-size, same-paper formats. Webcom marks only the second installation of the revolutionary book-block system worldwide. (CPI Quantum installed the first, in France, earlier in 2010, and at least three other machines have since been sold.) Book blocks are made durable utilizing Flex Book's digitally controlled sinusoidal (sine wave) fusing technology that ensures smooth repetitive oscillation. Blocks can be fed in-line to a binding system or off-line. Plus, cut sheets minimize standard trim waste requirements.
The Flex Book system is engineered for 24/7 use and was designed with the future of digital printing in mind, says Magnum. It is capable of a web width up to 43 inches (up to 8-ribbon processing) and speeds up to 800 feet per minute and features flexibility in product sizes ranging from 4 inches to 10.5 inches wide and 6 inches to 12 inches long. Timson, in the U.K., is developing a similar technology, which it calls the T-Book finishing system.
True to its name FlexBook is flexible, typically running inline, fed by the digitally printed web as it is printed. But, "we can also feed a bindery line simultaneously and ... go from roll of white paper to finished book in box at the end of the line," reports Magnum customer service manager Paul Riportella. "We can be run in a near-line mode by unwinding digitally printed web into our FlexBook at speeds up to 800 fpm, and then feed the book blocks into a high-speed binding line." And FlexBook can be run offline as well, unwinding the digitally printed web and making book blocks to be fed in a later process into a binding line, says Riportella.
Finishing Fast with Near-Line
Another success story comes from Canada, where small commercial printer Allan Graphics teamed with CP Bourg, a Xerox finishing partner, for a near-line solution and saved $35,000 in the process. Owned by David Allan, the Kingston, Ontario firm prints brochures, monthly magazines and even 400-page catalogs in full color. Allan himself, a 40-year industry veteran, learned the trade as an offset operator, so he naturally was skeptical about digital press output. Then, in mid-2008, he was golfing with some print peers who were shocked to hear that he wasn't running digital yet.
"I've spent years putting digital technology down, but that conversation made me realize I needed to take a closer look," Allan says. He added a Xerox 700 Digital Color Press to his 8,000-square-foot plant the following January, but the digital convert had a finishing problem: To maximize the conventional, six-pocket bookletmaker that Allan used to stitch and trim longer run work, some jobs needed to be prepared as signatures. But he couldn't afford the six-figure price tag of a folder. By the autumn of 2009, Allan had his sights set on a Bourg BME Booklet Maker that he had seen in Montreal at a tradeshow. He saw it again at PRINT 09 – and bought it, along with North America's first larger-format (14.4 x 23.5 inch), 10-bin BST-e Suction Tower Collator, which Allan says adds versatility.
"The BME uses an ingenious system with a belt that wraps around itself and takes the memory out of the spine," he notes. "I'm a tradeshow junkie and I look at everything new, and I'd never seen anything like this. Booklets from the BME look three-knife trimmed when they've been only face-trimmed." The best part for the former pressman may be that the BME has given his shop the flexibility for finishing on-demand digital as well as offset production. Plus, on the Bourg BME, one person can produce the work faster and at the same quality as three needed to run the big machine, Allan says.
Duplo also features a near-line DFS-3500 Bookletmaking System designed to completely finish full-bleed booklets in a single pass. Combining the creasing and slitting functions of the DC-445 Creaser with the stitching, folding, and trimming capabilities of the mid-range DBM-350/T Bookletmaker and Trimmer, the DFS-3500 delivers an all-in-one system ideal for short-run applications, says its manufacturer. By automating the finishing process required to create full-bleed booklets, the 3500 eliminates the need for a separate guillotine cutter and creasing machine. Time-consuming set ups, wasted material, and turnaround times all are reduced. Complete job set-up is done from the user-friendly DC-445 control panel, and up to 30 jobs can be saved for quick and easy recall. The 3500's ability to slit, crease, stitch, fold, and trim in one pass makes it the ideal solution for producing applications such as calendars, catalogs, yearbooks and newsletters.

Off-line Is a Viable Option, Too
Opting for an off-line workflow, the in-plant at Northwest Natural, a gas company headquartered in Portland, OR, recently expanded its finishing capabilities by adding a range of Duplo machines. "We are able to do more jobs in-house with great efficiency, saving the company money," says Marilyn Webber, supervisor of office services. Removing the work from its in-line bookletmaking systems, a guillotine cutter, and an aging folder, the shop installed the DBM-350/T Bookletmaker and Trimmer connected with a DSF-2000 Sheet Feeder, the DC-615 Slitter/Cutter/Creaser, and the fully automatic DF-920 Tabletop Folder. The DSF-2000 processes pre-collated sets at up to 200 sheets per minute into the mid-range DBM-350/T, where they are then accumulated, stitched, folded, and face-trimmed into professional booklets. With the new equipment, the firm reports that it has increased productivity as well as reduced costs.

Video: Samsung UNC6500 & UNC6800 LED HDTVs
Learn about Samsung's LED-backlit C6500 and C6800 LCD HDTVs in this short Crutchfield video review. These Internet-ready sets let you stream movies from Netflix® and more.
Tara: We're here in the Crutchfield video studio with Malcolm, one of our advisors, to talk about Samsung's 6500 and 6800 LED LCD TVs. So we're going to start with the 6500. What makes this TV stand out?
Malcolm: This TV has an excellent picture. It offers LED backlighting technology which really gives you deeper black levels, enhances the contrast ratio overall, and actually makes it a bit more efficient as well.
Tara: And it's Netflix compatible too.
Malcolm: That's correct. It actually will allow you to stream content from your instant queue on Netflix also as well as content from You Tube and Blockbuster as well as quite a few other options. Now the TV is also DLNA compliant, which allows you to network this TV with your home PC so you can take any music or movies or photos that you have on there and view them on here with your friends and family.
Tara: Who would you recommend the 6500 for?
Malcolm: This is a TV for someone who's looking for great picture quality across the board and also wants to incorporate their home PC as well as any sort of streaming internet content that they might be interested in.
Tara: Next up is the 6800, which has something called precision dimming.
Malcolm: That's right. Precision dimming allows the TV to break the LED backlights down into segments so they can be individually lightened or darkened. If you have a scene in a movie that has a very dark section and a very bright section it allows you to further enhance this and really bring the picture to life. Now this is a TV that I would recommend for someone who is looking for the absolute best in performance. To find out more about these TVs just visit us at crutchfield.com.
Tara: Or you can chat with us, e-mail us, or just call Crutchfield and talk to an advisor like Malcolm.

Eovaldi hopes for more consistency vs. Gallardo, Crew
Marlins' right-hander has five quality starts in five outings this season
Nathan Eovaldi takes the hill on Saturday night against the Brewers for his sixth start in what the Marlins hope will be the right-hander's ninth straight quality start.
Eovaldi did not allow a stint on the 60-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation to throw him off track after a great finish to last season. He has been in top form since his June 18 debut, with a 2-0 record and 2.93 ERA.
In fact, the 23-year-old believes what he learned from his injury will help him continue to hum along as one of the stellar young arms in Miami's starting rotation.
"I found better ways to take care of my shoulder," Eovaldi said. "I've been keeping up with my routines. My shoulder has been feeling great."
After returning from a long-term injury with little signs of rust, Eovaldi is not concerned that eight days will have passed since his last start -- he seems primed to pick up where he left off before the break.
"I was feeling good anyway," Eovaldi said. "The All-Star break was just a couple of [extra] days off. I don't know if it helped out. But it was just good to have the time off."
Eovaldi has quietly become a force in a Marlins rotation that features two other young phenoms in All-Star rookie Jose Fernandez and Jacob Turner, who leads the team with a 2.44 ERA.
The centerpiece in Miami's haul from last summer's Hanley Ramirez trade, Eovaldi has ridden his sharp stuff to a team-best 1.04 WHIP, and is a reliable arm every five days.
"I'm just locating my fastball better," he said. "I'm using my offspeed pitches better. My curveball has been a lot better this season. And the defense has been there for me."
Behind the trio of Fernandez, Turner and Eovaldi, Marlins starters have allowed three earned runs or fewer in 24 of 27 starts since June 16. The Miami starting rotation's 2.99 ERA during that span ranks third in the Majors.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee's starting rotation has struggled. Brewers starters ranked 28th in the Majors with a 4.86 ERA and led all clubs with 41 losses before Kyle Lohse threw six strong innings in a 2-0 win on Friday.
Yovani Gallardo, who could be making his final appearance with the Brewers, will make his team-leading 21st start. He has dealt with numerous trade rumors as the non-waiver Trade Deadline nears.
"We need to pitch really well -- our starters -- and we're facing three guys that are pitching well, so we've got to create some offense," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "I don't care who we're facing, we've got to score some runs and we've got to get some big hits."
Marlins: Morrison's knee in good shape
Logan Morrison likes how he feels after missing the season's first 61 games recovering from the second of two right knee surgeries since December 2011.
Morrison, who has missed a few games with back issues since his return on June 9, is batting .281 with four home runs and 11 RBIs in 89 at-bats.
"Knee feels great," Morrison said before a team workout on Thursday. "That's what I'm happiest about. No pain. I feel confident to do anything I need to do on it."
Brewers: Second half a fresh start
Milwaukee entered the All-Star break as one of the worst teams in the Majors.
The Brewers finished the first half with the second-worst record in the National League at 38-56 (ahead of only the Marlins), with a minus-65 run differential. However, manager Ron Roenicke is optimistic the second half will allow his club to turn the page.
"I think guys got a chance to relax a little bit [over the All-Star break]," Roenicke said. "We know how disappointing the first half was, so I'm sure these guys are anxious to get this thing going and start playing good."
Worth noting
• Francisco Rodriguez recorded his 304th career save on Friday, tying him with Jeff Montgomery for 21st on the all-time list.

Really Thin Material
The material is so thin that I can read through it, seriously. It fits oddly, as well. I wouldn't recommend it.

Wearable but no bargain
I ordered this hoping it would be a good fall/transition season outfit for work. I own a lot of Chadwick's skirts and know that I can be a 10 or 12 in pretty much all the close depending on the cut and the reviews, and I erred on the side of the 12 hoping it would not be too big. It's cut VERY small and the fabric is very thin-- I was surprised by how tight the fit was. At the same time, the jacket was just a little big-- nice for movement, but an odd combination.

I wonder if it supports the ethernet in the EEE PC 1005ha yet.
Phoronix: Moblin 2.1 Officially Released With Improvements
In September during the Intel Developer Forum we learned that Moblin 2.1 would be coming in Q4'09 (just one quarter after the 2.0 release) and would present the Moblin Application Installer, Moblin Garage, and other improvements. Sure enough, Moblin 2.1 has arrived now and it's only the middle of the fourth quarter. Last month we provided a Moblin 2.1 preview, but to reiterate some of the key features there is the Moblin Garage (effectively an "app store" for this mobile-oriented distribution), Clutter 1.0 integration, Bluetooth device support, improved connection management, localization support, and even a much-improved web-browser. While Moblin has traditionally been focused for Atom-powered netbooks, Moblin 2.1 will also work with "nettops", or the less-portable, mini-desktop systems running with an Intel Atom processor and similar specifications to the netbooks...
I wonder if it supports the ethernet in the EEE PC 1005ha yet.
Im thinking Moblin could be a popular choice for Intel CULV notebooks with Intel GMA X4500mhd graphics too.
Was not that pleasant to use Ubuntu 9.10 on a Compaq Presario CQ60 with Intel gpu.
In Windows OS games where "playable" but under linux its jst sad when you try starting a game.
But im not that good with tweaking and stuff so that may be why it is so slow.
net* computers are useless.
What I mean was "netbooks" and "nettops"
Yes, because whatever would you do with 6+ hours of battery life, very good portability, integrated wireless, and enough 3D for retro gaming, all for under $500?
If I had an NC10, it'd serve me as an on-the-go hackmobile and emulator-playing device.
Seriously, the GNU/Linux crowd benefits from netbooks the most, because while others are trying to shoehorn Vista onto them, we can slap on Arch and have it outrace full-fledged desktops running Winblows
Back on the subject, does anyone know whether there's a way to disable the stupid touchpad thing in Moblin? I downloaded the live CD to try it out on a laptop and it's basically unusable because the slightest touch on the touchpad is being interpreted as pressing a mouse button (it's the first thing I disable any time I get a new laptop).

Norma McLeodNorma McLeod
July 23, 1920-March 4, 2013
NORTHFIELD On July 23, 1920, Norma (Bredoli) McLeod, a daughter of Italian immigrants, was born in Montpelier, just across the river from the granite sheds where her father worked as a granite carver. Along with her father and mother, Norma shared the home with sisters Emma (Wolynec) and Enes (Gibson).
Not long before the war, Normas bubbly personality and love of dance and adventure caught the eye of a young Barre man, George McLeod. Son of Scottish immigrants, George courted Norma, marrying her on his return from service on Oct. 12, 1945.
George and Norma had three children: Douglas, who lives in Alto, N.M., with his wife, Elizabeth; daughter Lesley, who lives in Barre with her husband, Paul Poirier, and who is the mother of Aimee and Jeffrey; and John, who lives at Story Ranch in Las Vegas, N.M., with his wife, Cindy, and children Naomi, Rafael and Eliza.
Norma and George raised their young family in Northfield, Vt., while they worked at Norwich University. They could regularly be seen skate-dancing at the local rink, playing a round of golf, and participating in Shrine activities.
For many of their latter years, George and Norma were wrapped in the warmth of Floridas climate. Returning to Vermont, Norma lost her lifelong partner, George, in 2005. She spent a number of years at the Gardens in Williamstown and her last year back in Northfield at Mayo Healthcare.
Until the end, Norma continued to make friends among residents and staff through her humor, character and personality. She leaves behind two great-grandchildren, nephews, nieces and lifelong friends. Norma will be missed.
A memorial service to celebrate Norma will be held on Saturday, March 9, at 11 a.m., followed by a reception at the First Presbyterian Church in Barre. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the church at 78 Summer St., Barre, VT 05641.
There are no calling hours.
The Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre, is in charge of the arrangements.MORE IN ObituariesBARRE Adrien J. Full Story1922-2015 Full StoryROXBURY Graveside services for Helen G. Baker, 86, who died Jan. Full Story -

Ready to Ship / Same Day Shipping
All rugs are imported and can be shipped immediately after receiving the order.
Create a custom rug
Create the perfect Sisal area rug. Any shape such as rectangular, square, round, oval, or octagon from over 30 weaves and colors. You may choose from 13 colors of most popular cotton binding.
About Sisal Rugs
For the long-lasting durability of fiber rugs without the harmful volatile organic compounds that can be released into your home, consider a sisal natural area rug. For allergy sufferers, a natural area rug is a healthy choice, since dust and mites can get trapped in wall-to-wall synthetic carpeting, and full room carpets are more difficult to keep clean. With an area rug, you can place them strategically in your home in seating areas, around beds and at entrances. The natural look and texture of a sisal area rug beautifully complements a hardwood floor.
Sisal fiber, a species of the agave plant, has been used for thousands of years. Because of its natural durability, it is found in paper, rope, twine and carpet backing material. As it's grown without the use of fertilizers and is completely biodegradable, sisal is healthy for the planet in addition to being healthy for you and your family. Another advantage of sisal natural area rugs over synthetic rugs is that sisal doesn't build up static, a welcome relief during dry months.
We have a wide selection of sisal rugs that can be shipped the same day as your order. Hand crafted by skilled artisans, they are available in different colors, designs and styles of weave. Some have serged binding; others are self-bound. There are styles with cotton canvas borders. Choose from solids, patterns or geometric shapes. All of our sisal area rugs have a non-slip backing.
If you don't see exactly what you want in our ready-to-ship area rugs, you can design your own. To begin to create your own custom sisal area rug, select "Create a Custom Rug" and then select your desired weave style. You can choose the shape, binding, color and size to perfectly match your specific needs. We also give you the option of customizing the border color on a selection of standard rug sizes. There are many exciting design possibilities with these 100 percent natural sisal area rugs. Purchase one today to add cozy warmth and beauty to any room.

Small-town girl and Anywhere, USA boy married and left for the big city. (Its suburbs, anyway.) Since then, we've both changed jobs, halved one commute and doubled the other, both changed cars, eaten across Italy, sold our townhouse, bought a house-house, nearly quadrupled our income, absolutely tripled our mortgage, lost a lung, doubled the size of our family, and pulverized to teensy unrecognizable pieces anything resembling leisure time. Seven years is long enough to make a life unrecognizable. But I recognize it in his face, in his eyes. That face has been beside me for seven years, for long enough to feel like forever. In the best possible way.
M: my partner in marriage, my partner in dreaming, my partner in planning, my partner in travel, in adventures great and small, my partner in parenting, in lunch-packing and getting through the weekend, my partner in the most fun mischief, my partner in almost everything and my enemy in Scrabble.
August 12, 2008
We took the day off together today, and enjoyed walking around Annapolis, where my beloved proved his inability to ignore a bookstore. Predictable, after so many, many years.
7 years is nice. Now let's go for 70.

Traditional Lowbrow Artist • fb.com/solomon.mooney
Memphis TN., USA
Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment.
The single most common tactic that Lowbrow artists employ is to poke fun at convention. They know the "rules" of art, and consciously choose not to abide by them.
If the test of time for legitimacy (as an artistic movement) means that Lowbrow speaks/spoke, in visual terms, to the millions of us who share a common cultural, symbolic language - albeit a "lower" or "middle" class, media-driven language - then, yes, Lowbrow is here to stay. Anthropologists will probably study Lowbrow in the future, to attempt to figure out late 20th and early 21st century U.S. societal influences.

Minister of State, Kathleen Lynch T.D. has attended the launch of Special Olympics Ireland's research report: "The Development and Evaluation of a Health Promotion Programme for People with Intellectual Disabilities.
Research has shown that 68% of people with an intellectual disability have a BMI in the overweight/obese category. The aim of this programme was to develop, pilot and evaluate a user-friendly Health Promotion resource pack which could be delivered in community based Special Olympics clubs and Intellectual Disability Service. The report details the findings of the programme, which was initiated in 2008 to help address the lack of health promotion resources for people with an intellectual disability in Ireland.
The Resource Pack was developed in consultation with Special Olympics athletes, volunteers and family members and covers the most pertinent health needs of people with intellectual disabilities including nutrition, physical activity, heart health and bone health.
Statutory and non-statutory organisations collaborated in the development of this resource. Health knowledge and behaviour questionnaires were administered to the 286 participants at start of the pilot in order to establish a baseline and again on completion. The results showed a statistically significant increase in health knowledge and health behaviours, most notably a 48% increase in the numbers of participants meeting the recommended daily intake of five portions of fruit and vegetables.
Qualitative data was gathered through questionnaires and focus groups conducted with participants, volunteers, Services staff and family members. The feedback from the participants indicated that the user-friendly nature of the pack ensured that the participants were more inclined to follow its direction. It was evident that by relating the importance of health to sport, the participants felt more encouraged to make a health change.
Speaking at the project report launch Minster of State Kathleen Lynch T.D. said "I am delighted to hear such positive findings arising from this pilot programme. It is wonderful to hear how much of a difference it has already made to the participants in such a relatively short period of time. If this programme shows us anything it is that health and sport go hand in hand and that positive lifestyle changes are important and beneficial to us all. I would like to congratulate everyone involved and encourage the participants to keep up the good work!"
Dr Nazih Eldin, Head of Health Promotion Dublin North East, Health Service Executive said "The HSE welcomes this initiative which aims at reducing health inequalities for Special Olympics athletes in Ireland. It is great to see that an effective, evidence based and targeted programme was developed in collaboration and cooperation of so many different experts, parents and people with intellectual disability. The HSE is hoping that this model will achieve all its goals and that the benefit will be shared by everyone in Ireland".
Matt English, CEO Special Olympics Ireland said "The publication of this report is hugely significant for Special Olympics Ireland. We are delighted to see the positive impact that the introduction of this programme has made not only to our athletes who participated in it but also their families. The findings are hugely encouraging to us and once again affirm our promise of enriching and enhancing the lives of people with an intellectual disability in Ireland. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who played a part in making the initial pilot programme such a success, particularly the HSE Dublin North East".

does this machine wash carpets also?
nevermind. "it avoids carpet, rugs,"
THey need make a robot that washes carpets. That I would buy.
no these do not wash carpets.
It's floor only and it needs to be flat.
No stairs or it will have an untimely death.
They do an OK job, good to have for wood floors.
#2, check out the SpotBot carpet cleaning robot. Great reviews on Amazon and I love mine.
I also love the scooba for my tile floors. I got a refurb of this model during a wootoff last christmas season for $99.
Brought it for $200 for my wife last Xmas and she loves it.
The battery is dying, so we called iRobot and they sent us a new battery with a device to load the latest firmware. It is working smarter with the new firmware now (how to attach a corner etc.).
This iScooper is actually a lot more useful than the iRobot sweeper that we also have because mopping the floor is hard work.
Any thoughts on having these with pets? I know you're not supposed to use swiffers if you have pets... can make them sick. Does this thing use a cleaning solvent that is not pet-friendly?
I got a refurb scooba from woot for $99. The battery didn't last long... so had to pay for a new battery from irobot after 4 months, refurb. units only have a 90 days warrenty. Too bad it doesn't do a good job on cleaning the corners and sides.
my regular irobot works great. although lots of dog hair can make it get full fast and it needs to be emptied once or twice during cleaning so keep this in mind.
#7, iRobot is now not recommending leave the iRobot at charge all the time now. They told us to unplug the charge cable when charging is done.
#6, we've got dogs and a bird. The Clorox Scooba solution seems ok (need to look into this further, though). But if you don't want to use iRobot's solution, the Scooba also cleans well with white vinegar.
I really like our Scooba. It's not perfect, but if you don't have time to burp with floor cleaning, this will go a long way to decreasing the period of time between full coverage mopping.
#9: It seems like your cute little nickname should be "politicians" with your grasp on the language, burp.
This plays MP3 files as well as regular CDs.
#11, he must have edited his post because it doesn't mention slushees at all now
#12, will this thing jump to the next track if it bumps into something?

Advice for new appointees, career feds in Obama's second term
Tuesday - 11/27/2012, 3:37pm EST
Tim McManus, vice president of education and outreach, Partnership for Public Service
By Katie Howard
Federal News Radio
While President Barack Obama is staying in office for a second term, some of his current political appointees will be leaving.
In order for his new crop of leaders to be successful, they will have to hit the ground running. But, that can sometimes prove difficult in a culture where federal career employees might have concerns about the looming leadership transition, said Tim McManus, vice president of education and outreach at the Partnership for Public Service.
The first 100 days are "crucial" for appointees and career feds alike, according to a working paper written by former political appointees Michele Flournoy and Margaret Spellings on behalf of The Boston Consulting Group.
"The key to that number is a recognition that it is going to take some time, so don't expect that you are going to come in on day one and change the world or change the agency or have it all figured out even if you are not going to change anything," McManus said in an interview on In Depth with Francis Rose. "It is a process of getting to know the organization, getting to know the ecosystem that you are dealing with, the culture that you are dealing with, understanding what has been done, how it's been done and that takes a little bit of time."
McManus advised career employees to adopt the outlook of a two-way street and to keep in mind that "Ultimately, we are all on the same team and our success is actually predicated on the new appointee's success."
He said those in career leadership positions need to recognize, "OK. This is someone new coming in. We actually need to reach out to them and help them understand this and the better the new appointee understands this and gets their feet under them, the more likely [our] agency is for success."
New administration, new boss?
Even though McManus sees more of a "softer transition" for appointees in Obama's second term, there could be instances of a "slow drawn-out process" of change for some agencies.
"There is no hard and fast cut-off date, and that probably makes some people a little more nervous about really what lies ahead. You don't know if it's going to be the end of January, or does it come next fall or a year from next fall," McManus said. "There also tends to be a a level of uncertainty for the career people because you don't know when or if the person you are working for or with is going to be there or not be there."
In previous administrations, some leadership at the top stayed in place for significant periods of time and even entire second terms. McManus pointed to the second Clinton administration where about 40 percent of top leadership turned over but 60 percent stayed. Of that 60 percent, a significant number stayed for the full second term.
As for the Bush administration, it lost about 65 percent of its top leadership in the second term. But of the 35 percent who stayed, most largely held out for the entire second term.
"You know that a transition may be possible and as days and months go on that will become a little clearer whether or not your agency is going to have some level of transition," McManus said. "Take stock of what your strengths are, take stock of what your weaknesses are and know that coming in so you can have those candid conversations with the new political leadership."
One advantage of a two-term administration is there tends to be a repeat direction when it comes to policy. McManus said it becomes advantageous for an employee to demonstrate to someone coming in that they are on board with that and that they know where to find the information to help the agency continue to do what it is doing.
McManus also reminded career employees that first impressions matter.
"Not only are they making first impressions on you, but you are making first impressions on them. So make sure you spotlight the things you really want to spotlight in those first moments because those are the things that are going to stick," McManus said.
