Concord retailers promoting Saturday shop-walkingBy BILL SMITH and MARK HAYWARD

CONCORD - If traffic jams on Loudon Road and South Willow Street aren't your idea of stressfree Christmas shopping, an effort is under way in one downtown to get people to park their car and walk to their favorite shops.
Retailers in the Capital City are pushing Small Business Saturday, an apéritif to a Black Friday binge of shopping malls and big box stores.
"We have a beautiful downtown with lots of interesting shops, sights, sounds and smells to enjoy," said Margaret Fletcher of the Wellness Coalition, which has teamed with Friends of Downtown Concord to promote an "I Prefer to Walk!" program. Their advice: walk among the various stores rather than drive from one shopping plaza to another.
"Moving your whole body for an extra few blocks is wonderful for your physical health and overall well-being," she said.
In downtown Manchester, such efforts have taken part in the past, but not this year.
"Our downtown is primarily an entertainment zone and not a shopping zone," said Greg Barrett, a real estate agent who specializes in downtown property.
Restaurants and coffee shops predominate on Elm Street and its side streets, with a few specialty retailers thrown in, he said.
In Concord, the walking program also promotes the ability of shoppers to interact with others while perambulating among shops.
Sponsors suggest that motorists park away from Main Street.
The car can be left on side streets and three downtown Concord parking garages, all which are free on weekends.
Eric Kilbane, who owns Castro's Backroom cigar stores in Concord, Manchester and Nashua, said his stores depend on downtown foot traffic.
Restaurants in downtown Manchester bring him busines because diners enjoy a cigar after a good meal.
During the Christmas season, shoppers start hitting his stores in mid-December, looking for gifts such as cigars, humidors, cutters and lighters.
And he said customers will make a special trip downtown.
"There's not a whole lot of options for cigar shops," he said. "We have a niche market. It works for us."
The Commute Green New Hampshire group is best known for its "1 in 5" campaign, which encourages people to pledge to not use an automobile for one day of every five for the remainder of the year.
One store, Bona Fide Green Goods, will be offering stickers to people who want to show their dedication to walking during Small Business Saturday.
Advance weather forecasts for Saturday call for temperatures in the mid 40s with variable clouds.

Dedicated to the seven planetary divinities and featuring an interior of gorgeous marble, the Pantheon is one of the most impressive monuments of Augustan Rome.
Located in the heart of Rome, this vibrant and elegant square is surrounded by 18th-century buildings augmented by the colorful flowers that adorn the Spanish Steps. The elegant steps by Francesco de Sanctis (1723-1726) consist of twelve flights of varying width, which descend to the scenic Franciscan Church of Trinita dei Monti.
Planned by Valadier at the beginning of the 19th century, this is considered one of the best urban works in Rome.
Certainly the most famous and photographed fountain in Rome, legend has it that whoever throws a coin into the pond will return to Rome.
The legend of this 4th-century stone, located in the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, says that it eats the hand of liars.

This highly portable, easy-to-handle wide-angle lens has a field of view equivalent to 27mm in the 35mm film format so it's perfect for landscapes, general snapshots and, by virtue of the 18cm minimum focusing distance, close-ups. The outstanding sharpness, combined with the maximum aperture of F2 for silky bokeh also makes it suitable for portraiture; the lens' small size means your subjects won't feel intimidated.

Conservation leading organisations join forces to improve field research on key marine habitats and species in the Mediterranean.
On 19 May 2011 in Marseille (France), the IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation, the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA), the French Agency of Marine Protected Areas and the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) have signed an agreement to bring together their scientific and technical knowledge, but also to put together the necessary technical and financial arrangements to enrich the knowledge available and better protect the resources in the area through two particular projects: a Survey on Mediterranean Cetaceans and deep seas prospecting exercises.
The new formal agreement signed on 25 November amongst the partner organisation has now opened the recruitment process for a new Fund Raising Officer for Mediterranean Marine Research who will be responsible for attracting the necessary support for the implementation of these two Mediterranean schemes; a survey for cetacean (dolphins, whales and porpoises) population and distribution and considering turtles and seabirds, also top predators of the ecosystem. The second initiative will focus on submarine deep sea habitat prospecting campaigns, in particular submarine canyons and mounts.
The signing organisations will also facilitate contacts with the national authorities and other regional, European and international organisations to assist the process.
ACCOBAMS, through its Scientific Committee, encourage the Parties to the Agreement to develop research on cetacean populations and habitats. ACCOBAMS is developing an initiative named "Survey" to increase the knowledge on the distribution of cetaceans in the Mediterranean, based on an agreed scientific protocol for transects by planes and boats. Surveys all over the Mediterranean are planned for the period 2012-2013.
The Agency for Marine Protected Areas (France) is responsible for supporting public policies for marine protected areas, at the national level as well as at the regional/Mediterranean level, as part of the implementation of international conventions and agreements. The Agency is mandated for the development of the national strategy for a better knowledge and a better management of coastal and offshore MPAs, and in particular based on international coordination in the Mediterranean. In relation with its present experience for the research related to submarine canyons and cetacean conservation, the Agency can offer technical support to countries or institutions in this field.
The mission of the Regional Activity centre for Specially Protected Areas is to assist the Parties to the Barcelona Convention for fulfilling their obligations concerning the Protocol for Specially Protected Areas and Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean and implementing the Strategic Action Programme for the conservation of biological diversity in the Mediterranean (SAP/BIO). Within this framework, the RAC/SPA facilitates and supports the development of data collection on marine and coastal biodiversity in the Mediterranean region, and encourages the conservation of habitats, species and sensitive areas.
The IUCN international organisation objectives are to support the coordination of the activities for the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources. The IUCN strategy is to improve knowledge for a better conservation of species and habitats, in particular in the Mediterranean. UICN and in particular its Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation are developing initiatives for a better governance of the sea beyond national jurisdiction, including canyons and sea-mounts, and at the same time, within the framework of the Nereus project, for the identification of areas and species ecologically representatives in the Mediterranean.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A state judge issued an order Friday that is expected to block enforcement of Pennsylvania's strict voter-identification law in the Nov. 5 general election.
Local poll workers can ask voters to show IDs if they have them and distribute written material about the law, but they may not tell voters at the polls that photo IDs could be required in future elections, Commonwealth Court Judge Bernard McGinley said.
"There is no value in inaccurate information, and the court does not deem inaccurate information 'educational.' It is not a matter of confusion — it is a matter of accuracy," McGinley wrote.
McGinley's ruling marked the third consecutive election in which enforcement of the law has been blocked by court order.
After legal jousting that reached the state Supreme Court, a judge blocked enforcement in last year's presidential election and again in this year's municipal and judicial primary because of lingering concern that it could disenfranchise voters who lacked a valid photo ID.
The preliminary injunction will remain in effect until McGinley decides the case and rules on a request for a permanent injunction. Although his order does not mention the Nov. 5 election, both sides in the case sought to block enforcement of the law in that election.
"The intention certainly was that it would last through November," said Jennifer Clarke, director of the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia who is helping represent plaintiffs seeking to overturn the law.
The constitutionality of the law is being challenged and was the subject of a 12-day trial before McGinley that ended this month.
The plaintiffs — the NAACP, the Pennsylvania League of Women Voters and Philadelphia's Homeless Advocacy Project — emphasized problems in distributing a new voting-only ID card available for free to voters without other acceptable IDs. They said dozens of registered voters who applied for the cards before last year's election did not receive them before the election.
Lawyers for the state defended the law, arguing that last year's multimillion-dollar publicity campaign and the refinement of the special voting-only card by the Pennsylvania Department of State ensured that any registered voter who lacks an appropriate ID can now get one.
The 2012 law was approved without any Democratic votes by the Legislature's Republican majority and signed by GOP Gov. Tom Corbett amid a bitterly contested White House race in which Democratic President Barack Obama ultimately carried Pennsylvania.
Critics derided the law as a cynical GOP effort to discourage voting by young adults, minorities, the elderly, poor and disabled from going to the polls. Republicans said most Pennsylvanians have driver's licenses to use as photo ID and claimed that the law would discourage voter fraud. Democrats have said there is little evidence of such fraud.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — A former Cayman Islands premier who faces 11 criminal charges and was ousted from leadership last year went into Wednesday's general elections with an outside chance of returning to power in the British Overseas Territory.
McKeeva Bush's United Democratic Party was one of two parties given a distant shot at winning outright in the voting for all 18 seats in the legislature. But since no party fielded candidates for all the seats, most observers said a coalition government was likely for the three-island territory of about 56,000 people.
There are no reliable political polls in the Cayman Islands, which is the world's sixth largest financial center and a major haven for mutual funds and private equity. Results were expected to be announced Thursday.
Bush's main rival was attorney Alden McLaughlin, head of the People's Progressive Movement, which had a slate of 15 candidates. Bush's party had 12 candidates. Ten seats are needed to win control of the 18-seat legislature.
In December, Bush lost a no-confidence vote and was ousted as premier after being arrested on suspicion of misusing a government credit card, abuse of office and other charges. He has said the police probes are politically motivated and he will clear his name.
Despite the criminal charges against him and his high-profile ouster as leader, Bush expressed confidence he could lead his party to victory.
"I've been knocked down a lot, but I get back up and I don't dwell on the past," Bush told TV station Cayman 27.
After Bush's removal as premier, a breakaway faction of his splintered party formed a lame duck government as the People's National Alliance. They fielded five candidates, including Premier Juliana O'Connor-Connolly.
Election officials said there were 18,492 eligible voters and nearly 80 percent of them turned out Wednesday at polling stations. There were 56 candidates in all, nearly half of them independents. The recently created Coalition for Cayman, a potentially influential political advocacy group, promoted seven independents.
Once results are announced, it could take a week for a coalition government to be forged and a new premier to be chosen if neither of the two main parties dominates the vote. If no single party wins, Cayman's constitution mandates that all elected members of the legislature cast their votes in a leadership ballot.
The two main parties have similar manifestos pledging to protect the islands' financial services industry, boost tourism, create jobs and lower the cost of living.
McLaughlin blasted Bush's previous administration, saying the last four years had been a time of tense relations with Britain and "corruption and rumors of corruption." He said Bush's arrest on corruption charges damaged the territory's reputation and harmed the government's credibility with foreign investors.
Relations with Britain were strained under Bush, who described the British-appointed Gov. Duncan Taylor as his "enemy" and implied Taylor was behind his arrest.
First elected in 1984, Bush is the islands' longest serving politician. He remained a lawmaker after being ousted as premier.
The vote was being observed by a team from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.

Simple Savings is the most comprehensive money saving site you will come across. We can show you how to save money on groceries, gifts, cleaning, holidays, cars and phone bills. You name it, we have got it! This site has been operating and growing for nine years, so the depth and breadth of the tips is huge.
The sooner you start, the sooner you win
Life is a game and there are winners and losers. If you learn how to get in control of your spending, you are a step ahead of your neighbours. If your neighbours are living off $60,000 a year and you are living off $30,000, you will be $30,000 ahead of them each year! By reducing your bills, you will be able to achieve more and accomplish more because your living expenses will be lower.
The only reasons why my husband Matt and I were able to set up this site is because we happily lived off next to nothing for a long time. Matt and I are skilled IT workers; we turned away big wages because we were very happy doing what we are doing, which is only working a couple of days a week and spending very little. We only needed to earn $30,000 a year to live off. If our basic living expenses were $60,000 a year, we would have had to stop working on Simple Savings and 'get a real job'.
I'm not saying that we have won the game of life, far from it. There is still a very long way to go; I just wanted to show you how living off less money gave us the freedom to follow our dreams.Here is just a brief sample of some of our happy members, who have successfully turned their lives around:
"It is fantastic. If it hadn't been for the suggestions and ideas from your website, we probably would have lost the house last year. But, instead we are thriving. I no longer live from pay cheque to pay cheque. It is a great relief and now I finally know what it is like to kick back and really breathe. I am on my way to being a Happy Hanna. I just can't gush enough. THANK YOU Simple Savings!!!" (Leah Pasnin)
"I am so proud of myself and want to thank you for teaching me some new ideas for saving money. Hopefully I will have saved enough in the next couple of months (and changed my habits sufficiently) for my partner and I to be able to afford to have our first child. Thank you!" (Jennifer Davies)
"I just want to say a big 'thank you' for your very helpful site. I have been married for nine years, and despite my husband and I both working during that time, we have always seemed to struggle to make ends meet. Now, with a toddler and a baby, and one income, things are tighter than ever. Your hints and ideas have opened my eyes to see all the areas we were wasting money and have shown us ways to save. We are now saving for that once elusive house. I cannot sing your praises enough, you are doing a fantastic job. Really, saving is so simple once you know how!" (Debbie Mills)
"I just wanted to give you all a huge thank you for helping me become so much smarter with my money. Thanks to your site my husband and I have paid off our credit card, paid off most of our car, are well on the way to owning our first home, and - I think most importantly - we know that if we had to do it tough for some reason, we could not only survive, but be happy and get ahead." (Harmony Steel)
"I have found Simple Savings a godsend. I have changed my shopping habits completely. I spent $108.09 back in August (when I discovered Simple Savings) on bulk goods, laundry powder, vinegar, sugar soap, wash up detergent, liquid hand wash, shampoo and conditioner and a crystal deo stick and I have not had to spend another cent on these items since (now December). I have also shopped around for car insurance and saved $130/year by searching the net. I have also changed my internet and phone providers and am saving myself up to $90/month. We have just had a weeks holiday with the savings we have made. Thank you, what a great service!" (Lucy Bennett)
"Love your site, so interesting and so much to read and try. I will have to live forever! I have always wanted to travel to Antarctica on holiday and have saved hard and will now be fulfilling my dream and am off for 25 days on 8th December - I've never been an extravagant person and spend most of my year making toys and dolls for charity shops, and beds for animal welfare, so I deserve it! Have a Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year; think of me on top of a glacier with my bargain bucket thermal underwear, thick socks, and wellies - you have taught us all well, keep up the good work." (Marlene Harris)

"The Secrets to Saving Money in New Zealand"
If you are spending more money than you are earning, it is going to blow up in your face.
It may not catch up with you today, but it will eventually catch up with you. It is only a matter of time. You may be 'lucky' and only lose your house and car before you turn things around - or you could lose your family or end up childless. Money problems are the...
No.1 reason for divorce
Don't let it happen to you
It is a sad fact that many adults have resigned themselves to having to work full time to make ends meet, but that is just silly! You don't have to do it!
There is a better way. An easier way!
You could enjoy a three-day weekend every weekend if you learn how to be a clever consumer. Yes, that is right.
A three-day weekend every weekend!
That might seem like another mighty big claim. How is it possible? It is. My husband and I have four-day weekends almost every weekend. Think about it. It makes sense. If you are part of a couple and you only need one income to live off - let's say $40,000, you could actually drop back your full time jobs to permanent part time ones earning $20,000 each. Your total household income is $40,000 and you can enjoy a long weekend every weekend. Joining the Savings Vault will help you lower your bills to $5,000 a year. I guess you could say becoming a Vault member is a very cheap shortcut to semi-retirement!
Not everyone wants a long weekend every weekend. Others prefer to save it up, and enjoy an extra week off work, the way Beth Pastore did:
"I live with my husband and four year old twin boys in a unit, and we discovered Simple Savings at a time that was very difficult in the life of our family. I wanted to share a bit of our journey that led to saving money and an improvement to our quality of life. When I discovered Simple Savings, my husband was a self employed contractor who was between jobs, and our income became more limited as I worked part time. We have many fixed expenses, including a large mortgage, and pre-school fees.
"We were feeling very stressed emotionally as well, and finding daily living difficult to manage. I pored over the Savings Vault and found a wealth of information to assist us in reducing our expenses. As we were feeling quite vulnerable and finding change a struggle, we picked one tip a week to research or implement, starting with the simplest first, so we could experience enough success to motivate us to continue.
"The first week, my husband put his razor in a small glass of olive oil (to prevent rust and make the blade last longer). The next, we replaced our fabric softener with 1/4 cup of vinegar and put vinegar in a pump spray pack to clean our benches. We also started using vinegar to clean our floors. As we 'succeeded' we began to feel better about life, as we were exercising control over our situation, and it felt creative.
"This week I have taken my first week of unpaid leave from work to be with my cherubs during the school holidays, and it is such a priceless and precious gift. I really appreciate the invaluable life tools that I have gained from your website, and value sharing this way of life with my children. I encourage the financially overwhelmed to add one tip a week to your life - they all add up to big change!" (Beth Pastore)
The way it works is...
$700 saved = five days off work
If it takes you one week to earn $700 after the tax man and everyone else has taken their chunk and, you manage to cut your phone bill by $700, then that is equal to one week you won't have to work.
If you earn $15 per hour after everyone has taken their slice:
$15 saved = one hour off work
This means, if you can manage to save $15 at the supermarket, that is one hour you don't have to work. It gets even better! If you only needed an extra five minutes to save $15, you are already 55 minutes ahead.
Shopping smart is a great way to find extra time
If it takes ten hours a year to reduce your grocery bill by $1500 - which is surprisingly easy to do - it is the equivalent of being paid $150 per hour. Saving money can be very profitable.
- If you lower your annual phone bill by $350. (Easy to achieve.) That is half a week off work.
- If you learn to spend $50 per child at Christmas instead of $200, that's probably an entire week your husband can spend with your children.
- If you save $1500 buying a car - basic beginners stuff - that's another two weeks off work.
- Saving $150 on accommodation means you can stay on holidays for an extra day.
- If you save $5000 setting up a nursery that is eight extra weeks you can spend with your child instead of going back to work.
Working is hard
Showing up at an office five days a week to make money for someone else is hard.
Saving money is super easy!
The best part is, the more you save, the more you keep. Unlike at the office, where the more you work, the more you get taxed.

"One of the best gifts you can give at Christmas time is a membership to Simple Savings. My stepmother bought me a membership last year and it was one of the most helpful, useful, entertaining gifts I have ever received. It has made my life so much more enriched, I have more money saved in my account than I have ever had and everything in general seems just that little bit easier in this fast paced world! I know that if I have a question or need help with something, guaranteed I can find it among the fantastic hints. Make up a folder (display folders can be purchased very cheaply in any supermarket or budget store). Print out some relevant helpful hints and 'Free Stuff' or 'Budget Planners' for your friend or family member, or get really creative and make up a personalised scrapbook. Include a membership for the year and I guarantee the recipient will be thanking you too for this very thoughtful gift." (Leah Greig)
The Savings Vault is Jam Packed with Useful Information
Join the Vault and we can show you how to slash your bills so you will have more money and won't end up a Sad Sally. Will the Vault really help you lower your bills? The answer is "YES"! Here are some examples:
SAVE $400 on cleaning products. Learn what works, what doesn't, and how little you actually need. You'll be surprised!
"I have been with Simple Savings for nearly a year now and, because of all the great money saving hints, I am now able to work only four days a week. I am in my late fifties and I am really enjoying cutting back on my working hours.
Three days off a week is fantastic and I could never have done this without all the hints I have been reading and putting into practice. I will always be a loyal member of 'Simple Savings'. Thanks to all that have put their hints into the Vault and thanks Fiona!" (Pam Floyd)
SAVE $6,000 on baby products. Many of the 'must have' essential baby items are nonsense. All they do is put extra financial strain on young families.
"Since subscribing, I have been addicted to your site. The most useful hints so far have been the baby wipes recipe and using zinc cream instead of Johnson's nappy rash cream. I have been addicted to the computer ever since!!!" (Anne-maree Cooper)
SAVE $1,200 on your grocery bill. It is easy to cut your grocery bill by $100 per month. That is a total of $1,200 per year. Make your own cheaper and inexpensive home-made recipes so you can save more money.
"Many thanks from a mum of five, who stays at home quite comfortably, not in the least deprived, due to your great site!" (Sharon Miller)
SAVE $600 buying gifts. We have hundreds of great gift ideas for under $5, $10 and $20. The ideas are clever and very cheap. Perfect for all year round gift occasions or for a fantastic frugal Christmas.
"After working out our budget I knew we had to reduce our grocery expenditure but had no idea how. Simple Savings has helped me to save $30 a week - and often more." (Debbie Eustace)
SAVE $5,000 on your next car. The less you spend, the sooner it is yours.
"I've just bought a new car and saved $5000.
A couple of years ago I had decided that I would put away 10% of my pay each fortnight into a separate account for a new car. I reasoned that 'what you don't see, you don't miss', and saved almost effortlessly. Any extra left in my account at the end of the fortnight also went to this account. As it's a ING Savings Maximiser account, the interest started becoming quite significant!
"After deciding on the car I wanted, I sold the old one privately, getting $3500 more for it than I would have for trading it in. I also increased my bargaining power by not having a trade-in.
"I then hit the phones. I started at the dealerships in my state (NSW) furthest from me, asking for their best price, no finance, no trade-in. By the time I called the local dealership (in Newcastle), I had the best price available in the state, and asked them to match that price, or I'd head to Sydney! After all, a train trip and $20 in petrol to return was peanuts compared to paying full price!
"Now, not only have I not had to borrow money I have also: reduced the amount I had to save by accumulating $1000 in interest from my ING savings, gained an extra $3500 by selling - rather than trading-in the old car, and saved myself $850 on the purchase price just by spending an hour making a dozen phone calls!
"Instead of taking out a four year car loan I'd still be paying off, I've managed to buy my new car outright in two and a half years, finding almost $5000 (or a quarter of my car) without too much effort!" (Helen Fung)
SAVE $200 on pet supplies. Pets do not have to cost a fortune to feed or care for. There are ways you may never have thought of to save money on food, kitty litter or removing urine from the carpet.
"Thanks for a truly wonderful website. There are some 'triers' out there and some very clever ones like yours! Thanks also for Priceless Pets. What a saving they offer!" (Lesley Lanyon)
SAVE $360 on bank fees. Learn how to get some of your fees back from the bank. It is possible!
"I just want to say that I am glad I signed up and found out on the same day how to save $360 per year by detaching my cheque book from my bank account (detached now). The next day I found a credit card for 9.5 percent for my son who owes $5,000, so the saving on interest is great. At present he is paying 16.9 percent. I also found a bank account that is more suited for his needs. I am very happy, and I still have the Vault to go through for yet more savings." (Evelyn Morrisson)
SAVE $400 per year on your phone bill. We will show you how to reduce it.
"I would just like to thank you for your suggestion about pension discounts from Telstra. We were under the impression that we were getting the pensioner discount, but on triple checking, we found we weren't, even though we were registered with our pension number, etc. This has been going on for a year, so I must stress to all pensioners to check and check again. If you can't see a discount on your account, you are not getting it. Pensioners are supposed to get both a rebate from Centrelink for the phone and a pensioners discount direct from Telstra. Apparently our discount will be back-dated from when we first supplied our pension number to Telstra. Thanks again. Without your Savings Vault I don't know where we pensioners would be. It's a great site worth much more than youcharge." (Roxana Vinson)
One of the questions I'm asked is: "There is so much free stuff online. Why should I pay you to access the site?"
You are right - there is a lot of free stuff around and I think this question is best answered by Emma Foster:
"I just wanted to let you know that your site is amazing. My partner and I have a ten-month old son and have been living with my family since his birth because we hadn't financially prepared ourselves for the loss of my income while I was on maternity leave. For the last ten months I have been searching the Internet for money saving ideas and cheap recipes to prepare us for when we move back out on our own. I put off purchasing a Simple Savings membership, despite its high recommendations, thinking it would just have all the same ideas as all the other sites I visited for free. I gave in a week ago and purchased a subscription and have been pleasantly surprised! I have learnt more from the tips submitted to your Vault then I have learnt from all of those sites put together. It is well worth the money. We are moving out in six weeks to start our life as a family and I feel completely confident that we will be financially stable despite me cutting back to part time work to be at home with our son. Thank you for everything." (Emma Foster)
The reason that the Vault is such a fantastic resource and better than anything else on the Net is every hint in the Vault is vetted, categorised and edited by professionals, making them easy and enjoyable to read. We pay staff (actual humans, not robots) to filter out all the garbage. Occasionally we make the odd mistake and let a bad one through, but they are removed quick smart.
This makes the Vault a really enjoyable place to hang out and learn how to lower your bills. Think of it this way; when you look at how many ways you are currently wasting money, $23 is next to nothing. But, if you do buy a membership and find it is not for you then we have a
If you do not feel you are getting good value or you are not happy with the Savings Vault for any reason, you can have your money back. We are still growing. We add around 100 hints to the Savings Vault every week. So we are giving you a 365 day guarantee. So if we are not covering your area completely, or you don't like me, or we haven't answered your questions or for any other reason, you can have your money back. No questions asked. Right up to the final day of this 365 day guarantee!
What will happen if you don't buy a Vault membership?
Not much really. Hopefully, you will at least sign up to our free newsletters. But we can only help you if you want to be helped. There is an old saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."
If you haven't already joined our free newsletter, quick - do it now!

The Vault may not be for you today. It may not be for you next week, but please bookmark this site and store us in the back of your mind in case you, your family or your friends need help at some point in the future. The logic behind building the Vault is making sure help is there when people are ready for it. We have spent thousands of hours making the Vault a brilliant place for you to learn.
If you still need more proof, see what the press has to say about us!
If our site was a lemon, the press would fry us, but on the contrary:
In 2005 we won the Netguide People's Choice Award. Netguide is the premium Internet magazine in Australia and NZ, so it is a pretty major award. We even beat the likes of eBay!
We have nothing to hide. We truly are here to help people. To put our money where our mouth is, we allow members of the press to access the Vault for free.
Vault access for press members
If you have an official 'media' email address. Such as firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com, send us an email and we will give you free access to the Vault. This is not restricted to journalists alone - why should they get all the spoils? You can be the receptionist, IT manager, PA or even the cleaner, as long as you have an official email address (yes, we do check).
If you would like to have a look around the Vault, please contact us.
The savings add up
Let's say you try a Vault membership and you learn how to lower five basic bills. For example, you manage to shave:
- $30 per week off groceries
- $5 per week off rent
- $10 per week off cigarettes
- $25 per week off lunches
- $10 per week off coffee
In the first week you would save $80
In the first year you would save $4,160
Compared to what you could save by joining, the $23 Vault fee is almost free! Can you think of a better investment? You only need to use five of the 8,000+ hints to get your money back in the first week.
If you delay, you will continue to lose money each week
Instead of going forwards and saving $80 each week, you will be going backwards. Every week that you delay your decision is like flushing $80 down the toilet, so it is a wise decision to buy a Savings Vault membership NOW - even if you have to do it on credit. If the statement comes and you don't have the money to pay for it, or you haven't enjoyed the Savings Vault, ask us for a refund. We won't mind and you will have lost nothing.
Simple Savings is a labour of love
All our staff are here to help you get ahead. We don't mind if you ask for a refund. It is OK. We are here to help you keep your money. So what are you waiting for?
Go to our secure order page. Give it a go. Remember, I take all the risk. As Debbie Eustace says:
"There is nothing more satisfying than watching your savings grow."
I hope you have a great day!
Many grins,

Fans of all things Camaro just can't get enough info on the new top-spec ZL1 model. It's understandable too with the ZL1 being the most advanced and progressive Camaro to come from GM in some time.
To keep everyone happy, a new video is doing the rounds online showing the latest high-performance coupe at the Camaro Homecoming event in, Ontario, Canada. Camaro Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser brought the car to the crowd, and then spent a few moments running through the ZL1 on camera.
For those who haven't been keeping up with the ZL1's progress, the 2012 model gets a range of upgrades over the standard Camaro offerings. In terms of design there are improved aerodynamics all around the car, including the 'Mohawk' bonnet vent. In the cabin, Chevrolet has gone with plenty of suede trim, adding it to the seats, steering wheel and shift lever. Under the bonnet things are more hush hush with no word yet on the ZL1's exact power output. The supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine is a beast and there's rumours that the ZL1 could be pumping out over 570 horsepower, but for now, all GM's saying is that there's at least 550 horses.
To find out more about the 2012 Camaro ZL1, check out the video below.

15 #NewRules Inspired By Jay-Z
When Jay-Z tweets, it's headline-making news. In this case, he really had something to get off his chest. While announcing his upcoming album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, last night (June 16), Jay-Z also proclaimed that he'd be writing "new rules" to this ish.
He wasted no time doing just that. Earlier this afternoon, Hov, who still has the Watch the Throne cover art as his Twitter avatar, posted five tweets with the hashtag "#newrules," and Twitter responded with a few laws of their own. Click through for the reactions.

Beach, after so many years travelling from beach to beach, I feel like in a prison while in the city.

Diana Krall, "Glad Rag Doll" (Verve)
Diana Krall's "Glad Rag Doll" instantly grabs your attention, and not just because of the provocative cover art featuring the lovely singer decked out in, well, not much.
It's the songs, and T Bone Burnett's usual excellent production, that are the real draw here.
There are no lilting orchestras or dreamy string quartets followers of Krall have come to expect. Sure, her signature piano is there, along with her smoky vocals, but it's Marc Ribot's guitar that establishes a ghostly, vaudevillian feel to the mostly jazz songs Krall covers.
Everything comes together to serve the Prohibition-era theme of the record perfectly. Even a song written in the 1950s — Doc Pomus' "Lonely Avenue" — seems right at home.
Throw in a tasteful amount of Mellotron, ukulele, banjo and bass and "Glad Rag Doll" rocks. It rolls. It swings. It shuffles. It's sexy, sly, intimate and exhilarating.
CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: "Let it Rain," a modern take on the 1925 Gene Austin song, sounds both utterly modern and timeless. That's something that's not easy to pull off, but Krall does it in a way that seems effortless.

MANTECA - There's a bit of mystique and a lot of history inside Mick Founts' Victorian-style home in Manteca.
MANTECA - There's a bit of mystique and a lot of history inside Mick Founts' Victorian-style home in Manteca.
The San Joaquin County Office of Education Superintendent of Schools, with his wife, Kristin Founts, put the place together in a way that might remind you of a Johnny Cash Cadillac - minus the stealing. The Founts built the home one piece at a time as they have come across memorable items: molding around windows and doors from the old Oakland Hotel; wainscoting from old homes being torn down in the Bay Area; pocket doors from an old home that was torn down in Stockton.
In his latest project, Founts had an old home that was going to be torn down on French Camp Road relocated to his 2-acre property, where it is being fully restored.
"We couldn't let that house be torn down," he said.
Founts, 58, is an elected official who oversees 1,000 employees at the SJCOE, including his two grown daughters, Rashonne Founts and Larissa Founts, who are teachers.
Founts is a musician and owns an African Boer goat ranch.
We asked him 10 questions:
Question: Tell us about the goat farm you operate with your daughter. How did that start?
Answer: We raise South African Boer goats, and what happened was when she was a kid her uncle gave her a goat to raise and she loved it. That turned in to us raising 300 South African Boer goats as a business. ...The funny thing is both of my daughters are vegetarians and these goats are raised for meat. People ask, "What do they taste like?" and we don't know. We raise them to increase the genetics of other herds.
Q: Imagine you are the protagonist in a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book. Your character is being chased down by the bad guys and you come to a cliff. Would you choose the option leading you to jump across the wide ravine to safety, or take the conservative route down the side of the mountain and hope you can escape?
A: You know, I would probably opt for the jumping. I would take the risk. I think if you take a conservative route, they're going to catch you. From my perspective if I'm going to get killed, I'd rather get killed taking the risk instead of by doing the same ol' same ol'.
Q: The reason we ask is because SJCOE is often building programs that go against the norm. Sometimes it appears as though you take a few risks. Do you think that's true?
A: I think I was hired way back in 1991 because of that philosophy. I'm not going to take risks that endanger our organization or hurt kids, but I want to take risks to be able to expand what we can do. There's that old adage that only pioneers draw arrows, but sometimes if you don't risk, it's like you're not even trying.
Q: What is your favorite iPhone/iPad app? Do you recommend one for teachers?
A: I really struggle with this because I don't know how positive I am in this direction. I really don't think anybody needs to buy an app or material. If you just use open source materials, you will find enough to bury you. What I tell educators is you need to ask people the right questions. ... Just get online and start looking.
Q: You are a musician and have played in bands. What do you remember about your experiences doing that?
A: When I first started, my dad was an artist and musician, so the first thing he said was, 'Don't do either, you'll starve.' But I think when I started I was 14 and had to learn the trumpet. That was painful and I wasn't very good. Then it was the drums and I wasn't very good, so I decided to learn the guitar. ... Next thing you know I was in a band with my friends and I was playing guitar. ... We were Al Ward and the Epics. Here we were just young kids and playing in bars, and it was so good.
Q: What are your musical influences?
A: Jazz, blues, soul. I really was influenced by Otis Redding, and BB King, Wes Montgomery, and Les Paul going way back. ... If I had to pick a band that's my favorite of all time, though, it would be Tower of Power.
Q: What are some of the odd jobs you've had throughout your life?
A: When I was a little kid, seventh or eighth grade, I wanted a job, and my dad found me a job for the Del Monte Corporation picking peaches. It was the most horrendous job of my life. I thought, 'Next summer I'll do something else.' Oh no - I was back picking peaches and I thought I was going to die. ... Then when I went to college at Humboldt State, I had the great experience of pulling green chain at the lumber mills. I was able to look at that and realize I don't want to do that my whole life, and being a teacher looked really good.
Q: Did you always want to be a superintendent?
A: When I was in school I had great English teachers. ... One of my English teachers was also the football coach. I thought, "Hey, I can be an English teacher and I can coach. This works for me."
Q: Are you as fascinated by history as everybody says you are?
A: I think when you look at English and history, history is just a story well told. So us English majors say history is really only English.
Q: What's your favorite novel and the last one you read?
A: A couple. "Night" by Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust book, and that's a great autobiography. One that's not renowned is "The Contender" by Robert Lipsyte of Sports Illustrated. People think it's not a great novel, but that book has so many cool things in it. Everything I read nowadays is education code and law. I haven't read anything good in 10 years because I've been reading that.

Call Dani Morgan on the telephone, and you're going to hear a lot of barking in the background.
Call Dani Morgan on the telephone, and you're going to hear a lot of barking in the background.
Morgan is the owner and operator of We Stand Bayou, an animal rescue organization founded last year in Thibodaux. Along with her rescue partner Stephanie Connor, Morgan accepts owner-surrendered and stray animals, and finds them foster homes throughout the state.
While the animals are being fostered, rescue volunteers work to find them permanent homes through any method possible, including using the organization's Facebook page, which has nearly 4,000 fans.
Morgan, a Houma native, said We Stand Bayou is geared mainly toward large-breed dogs, but she'll accept any animal that comes her way.
"We only turn animals away if we have to," she said. "And that's only if we run out of space or money."
We Stand Bayou is run entirely on donations and pet adoption fees. Morgan said volunteers and fans of the organization constantly donate money and supplies to keep the rescue running.
The organization has its own Amazon wish list, which people use to send items like cleaning supplies, paper towels and de-worming medication.
"I get a box at my door almost every day," Morgan said. "Yesterday we came home from getting a sno-ball, and there was a huge box of 24 rolls of paper towels. It was like Christmas for me."
But the organization relies on its followers for more than just financial help.
The description section of the We Stand Bayou Facebook page encourages people to aid the effort by sharing posts about its dogs and volunteering to foster.
The rescue houses 25-30 animals at one time and most are placed in foster homes. Morgan's home is reserved for special cases such as abuse victims, animals with medical issues or dogs that need help socializing.
She spends as much time as she can with them — even going as far as sleeping in the bathtub for two days while her foster dog, Ruby, gave birth to puppies Nacho, Cheese and Flower.
One of her most recent foster dogs, Shelby, was so badly burned, she was missing most of the hair and skin of her lower back.
"I honestly think someone set her on fire," Morgan said. "She's beautiful and perfect and someone seriously abused this dog."
She said animal shelters will typically euthanize an animal that is so badly injured, and many rescue organizations can't afford to take on bad cases.
Morgan takes Shelby for regular appointments at De La Houssaye Animal Hospital, where the organization has an account.
Morgan said We Stand Bayou works with several rescue groups in the area — including 1 Heart 4 Paws, Operation Save the Who Datt Fur Babies, My Heart's Desire and Hope for Animals — to help as many animals as possible.
"Rescue is difficult," she said. "These people all work their tails off, and we're all in this together."

BERLIN (AP) — Deutsche Telekom AG, the parent company of T-Mobile USA, has raised its bid for MetroPCS Communications Inc. to placate shareholders for the cellphone carriers.
The announcement late Wednesday came ahead of a special shareholder meeting that MetroPCS had scheduled for Friday. Major MetroPCS shareholders had voiced their opposition to the deal, saying they were not getting a fair share of the combined company.
Two shareholder advisory firms had also said they opposed the deal last week, sending shares of Dallas-based MetroPCS up in expectation of a sweetened bid from Deutsche Telekom. The German company called its new bid its "best and final offer."
MetroPCS's stock fell 3 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $11.53 in midday trading Thursday in the U.S. Shares of Deutsche Telekom rose 2 percent in Frankfurt trading.
Analyst Kevin Smithen at Macquarie Capital said the new offer will win the support of shareholders and advisory firms. He raised his price target on the shares from $13.50 to $15 in a morning research note.
Paulson & Co., the largest shareholder of MetroPCS, said Thursday that it now intends to vote in favor of the deal.
The deal would merge the fourth- and fifth-largest cellphone carriers in the U.S. and boost T-Mobile USA's chance of competing with larger carriers Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corp.
Deutsche Telekom said the original offer had T-Mobile USA contributing $15 billion in debt to the combined company. The new offer reduces that amount to $11.2 billion, effectively making the combined company more valuable.
Deutsche Telekom says it will also reduce the interest rate on those loans by 50 basis points.
The ownership structure remains unchanged, with 26 percent of shares being held by current MetroPCS shareholders and 74 percent by Deutsche Telekom.
MetroPCS has rescheduled its special meeting for April 24 to give shareholders time to consider the new offer.

Obama backs UN discussion of Syria arms proposal
Obama backs UN discussion of Syria arms proposal
Sep. 10, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — A White House official says President Barack Obama has agreed to discussions at the United Nations Security Council on a proposal from Russia to secure Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles.
The official says Obama discussed the proposal Tuesday with French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron. France's foreign minister says France will float a resolution in the U.N. Security Council aimed at forcing Syria to make public its chemical weapons program, place it under international control and dismantle it.
Obama has said the proposal marks a potential breakthrough that could halt plans for a U.S. military strike, though he said the details remain unclear.
The official requested anonymity because the officials was not authorized to discuss the private conversations by name.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — Bruin-on-Bruin crime is typically frowned upon, particularly during the club's practices.
Today, however, was the exception.
Most notably, Shawn Thornton twice lost his temper. Once when he was ridden into the boards hard during a forecheck drill by Dennis Seidenberg. Thornton banged his ribs against the dasher, and in response spiked his stick over at the bench.
Later during a 2-on-2, he responded to a Johnny Boychuk blow to the face in the drill with a slash to the defenseman's back.
Marc Savard and Patrice Bergeron even let their tempers flare at one another at one point. If ever a team needed a Festivus "airing of grivances" it was this Bruins squad, and that's exactly what those at Ristuccia Arena were greeted by.
After the near-hour-long throwdown, during which every drills was high-intensity and full of rancor, Thornton tried to chalk up his show of emotions to having a bad day. But obviously the way the Bruins have played over some stretches of recent games is wearing on him as much as anyone. In particular, Boston's lifeless loss to Anaheim had everyone ready to go at it as though this practice could be their last.
"If we would've played like we practiced today, we wouldn't have had that practice today. I know that," Thornton said as he peeled off the tape from his socks while sitting next to Seidenberg — proving that bygones are bygones when it comes to pros.
Maybe it was disappointing to see the Bruins show more emotion and intensity in a practice than in a game 16 hours earlier. But this session might've been a step in the right direction.
"We were all flying and we were all focused I thought," said center Marc Savard. "We all want this game before Christmas and we felt that we let ourselves down a little bit. Everybody likes each other in here, so we've just got to work together and today that's what we did."
Here's an unofficial blow-by-blow of today's practice:
•Zdeno Chara was first one on the ice 10 minutes before the start of the session. He was then joined by Johnny Boychuk, and then the rest of the players trickled out. The forwards were aligned differently than in recent games: Patrice Bergeron centering Mark Recchi and Tyler Seguin, David Krejci between Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder, Savard centering Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton. The only line without a change featured Daniel Paille and Thornton flanking Gregory Campbell.
•After their warm-up skate around the rink, the Bruins worked on tape-to-tape passes on breakouts — one defenseman up to a center, the center up to a wing. Once the center's two wings had moved up ice and shot, the center went end to end and shot, and then the D carried it up and did the same. No contact yet, but still a rapid pace.
•Time to work on the forecheck, with a forward chipping the puck deep and two forwards determined to cause a turnover below the goal line. This is where Thornton and Seidenberg had their run-in. Other bodies went flying as well, and head coach Claude Julien stopped the drill at one point to get guys to sharpen up their approach to pursuing the puck or the puck-carrier. Maybe there weren't enough f-bombs to appease some, but nonetheless the coach had anger in his voice (and was loud enough to hear in the stands). Players not involved in the drill were forced to stand along the sides of the rink to wait their turn rather than sit on the bench. There was little down time between groups.
•Next came some intense 2-on-2 action, with the drill starting with a chase after a dump-in. This was where Thornton and Boychuk exchanged pleasantries. Even Savard and Bergeron exchanged shoves in the neutral zone after their turn was done, and Horton gave both a love tap with his stick to get them to bury the hatchet. More bodies flew in this drill than in the last five periods of game action for the Bruins.
•The one-zone, 3-on-3 battle drill was at its usual intense level. But there was definitely more of an edge, and Horton was even shaken up at one point. He sat out his turn and went to check in with the medical staff but was back in by the time the drill was over. He was fine in the dressing room once practice ended.
•After a quick primer from Julien, the Bruins concluded practice with some 3-on-2s. The drill was less physical than the prior few, but required speed and endurance.
Now comes the real test. Sure, the Bruins haven't had much time to hold practices like this. And even if there was more down time, they wouldn't want to beat the life out of each other every time and risk emptying the tank. But it shouldn't take a practice like this to get more than two dozen pro athletes to at least work hard and play with emotion when two points are on the line.
We'll see if they can carry over the intensity to a game for once and maintain it for 60 minutes once the Thrashers land at the TD Garden. Bruin-on-Thrasher crime would be much appreciated.
