Want to vacuum pack dry goods for long term storage? If you answer &quot;YES&quot; but don't want to lay out $100 or more dollars for one of the commercial vacuum sealer machines, then do what I did - assemble your own for $30 from readily available parts! Using a $20 brake bleeder and a mason jar sealer, you can vacuum seal anything you can fit into a mason jar. I call this &quot;the Alvin&quot; vacuum sealer.&lt;/i&gt; &amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Alvin-Vacuum-Sealer/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MORE&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </description>  </item>  <item> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://soundsofthecinema.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/07/06/convert-your-media-and-files-with-ease.html</guid> <title>Convert your media and files with ease</title> <link>http://soundsofthecinema.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/07/06/convert-your-media-and-files-with-ease.html</link> <author>noreply@blogspirit.com (Steve)</author>   <category>Computers/IT</category>  <category>Home</category>  <category>Web</category>  <category>Work</category>   <pubDate>Sun,  6 Jul 2008 06:00:00 -0700</pubDate> <description> &lt;h2 align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Anything you can do offline, you can do online these days&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Whether you can do it better is another story.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </description>  </item>  <item> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://soundsofthecinema.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/07/06/fear-itself-2008.html</guid> <title>Fear Itself (2008)</title> <link>http://soundsofthecinema.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/07/06/fear-itself-2008.html</link> <author>noreply@blogspirit.com (Steve)</author>   <category>Television</category>   <pubDate>Sun,  6 Jul 2008 06:00:00 -0700</pubDate> <description> &lt;h2 align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;A Masters of Horror reject?&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Fear Itself is a horror/suspense anthology television series shot mainly in the city of St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.

They've got amazing prices, huge selections, and they're open all the time. If you know exactly what you want, they're perfect. But somehow I kept coming back to the bookstore just to browse.
