How to Save Money On your TV, Internet, and Phone Bill
Save money on your tv, internet, and phone bill
In today's unpredecented times, families are looking to pinch pennies wherever they can. Cable and phone companies such as Verizon and Comcast have put together bundle deals to combine all their services and earn all your business, but some people might not be able to take advantage of these bundles due to contractual obligations or by preference. There is another way to save money on your overall bill.
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
A little time
Phone to call companies
Step 1
Television
Check to make sure you don't have any contractual obligations to fulfill before taking advantage of a bundle deal. In one month, we got one offer for Comcast for $99 and Verizon for $109- when we called Verizon, they agreed to match the $99 Comcast had offered us. However, when we went to make the switch, we found out we still had a contract for DirecTV, so that stopped us in our tracks.
Step 2
Bundle deal could save cash
Figure out what you absolutely need. A bundle deal isn't spectacular if you don't need everything they have to offer. We use our cell phones a lot so really don't need all the features and long distance calling for phones so we went with a bare minimum phone service. This saves us $12 a month alone! However if you do need all the bells and whistles, look to go with VOIP- whether you go with Verizon's VoiceWing or Vonage, this will save you a great deal of money over going with a higher plan because you think it's a good deal.
Step 3
Lower individual cable, internet and phone bills
For cable TV and Internet, even though I was in a contract with DirecTV, I told them I needed to downgrade service. Some people do just cancel service and get the cancellation fee reduced, but DirecTV ended up giving me another $10 a month savings, as well as free HD Channels ($9.99 a month) because they wanted to keep me as a customer.Finally for internet, the decision to go with cable or Fios is up to the customer. Some people love Fios and others swear by cable, but whatever you do play the companies against each other. Our cable internet provider after charging us the same rate for almost 4 years offered us a free month of service and a reduced rate if we stayed with them- Fios offered us a free month of service if we switched. Regardless, know you have choices, do your research, and make these companies fight for your business! In return, you will have some extra cash in your pockets for taking the time to find the best bargain.

Offline HTML to XHTML XML Converter :
Tool of the trade
The basic tool you can use to upgrade a site from HTML to XML is HTML Tidy. Originally developed by Dave Raggett and distributed under an open source license through the W3C Web site, HTML Tidy is now maintained by a group of volunteers at SourceForge. A Java-language version (aptly called JTidy) is also available (see Resources). Last but not least, an API allows you to integrate HTML Tidy as a library in your applications.
HTML and XML are both markup languages derived from SGML, so they have a lot in common. Still, there are two major differences:
XML syntax is far more restrictive; most importantly, in XML you must remember to close the tags.
HTML coding often has been relatively careless, so the files are rarely trouble-free to start with.
Early Web browsers encouraged sloppiness among webmasters by being extraordinarily tolerant of errors. At the time, the goal of these browsers was to get as many people on board as possible and to encourage webmasters to publish documents. The strategy worked, and Web content grew exponentially.
Still, poor coding practices caused all kind of incompatibilities, and HTML Tidy was originally designed to address this. It rewrites HTML pages to be conformant with the latest W3C standards. In the process, it fixes many common errors such as unclosed tags.
Although HTML Tidy primarily works with HTML pages, it also supports XHTML, an XML vocabulary.
As an example, I will work with a photo gallery generated with Photoshop. You can use other HTML documents, but if you'd like to experiment with the same files I use, the gallery is also available for download in the Resources section. Listing 1 is an excerpt from the gallery -- as you can see, it's plain HTML code.Listing 1. index.html (an excerpt)

Tidying up
Obviously, the first step is to download and install HTML Tidy (which you'll find in Resources). HTML Tidy is available on most platforms, including Windows, Linux, and MacOS. The default executable is a command-line tool, but GUI versions are available for Windows and MacOS.
To run HTML Tidy, open a terminal and issue the following command:
tidy -asxhtml -numeric <> index.xml
That's it! HTML Tidy immediately converts index.html into index.xml. HTML Tidy will print messages that highlight issues with the original HTML document during the conversion. In most cases, you can safely ignore these messages.
HTML Tidy runs as a filter, so it expects standard input and it prints the result to the standard output. The redirection operators (<>) allow you to work with files. By default, HTML Tidy produces a clean HTML page, but you can set two options to output XML, instead:
-asxhtml outputs XHTML documents instead of HTML.
-numeric uses character entities instead of HTML entities. For example, î is replaced with î.
XPaths and empty elements
You must be careful when processing XHTML documents with XSL. XHTML is primarily a formatting language and, unlike other XML vocabularies, it adds little structure to documents. To recover the structure, you have to analyze the document and carefully craft the appropriate XPaths. In this example, it was not immediately obvious how to separate the image title from its description: There's only a line break (
) between them. Because the line break is an empty tag, it's not enough to select it to retrieve the text! Ultimately, I used the preceding-sibling axis to load the text before the empty tag.
The difference between XHTML and HTML might sound trivial (it's only an extra "X" after all) but it is important. XHTML is a version of HTML 4.01 that has been adapted to the XML syntax. The vocabulary is unchanged (XHTML uses the familiar
What if you're not happy with the XHTML vocabulary? Read on.
Back to top
Further processing
Because XHTML documents are valid XML documents, you can insert them into an XML workflow. More specifically, you can post-process them with regular XML tools (XSL, parsers, and the like).
Indeed, I am not very happy with the XHTML vocabulary for this application. Because it's a publishing vocabulary, XHTML has very little structure, and I prefer to maintain photo galleries through the ad hoc XML vocabulary shown in Listing 3 (originally introduced in my tip, Divide and conquer large XML documents). To illustrate an XML workflow, I have written a small XSL stylesheet (see Listing 4) that retrieves the titles, file names, dates, and descriptions from the XHTML document. The stylesheet generates a more structured version of the document that is easier to work with.Listing 3. index-transform.xml (an excerpt)

Attribute values are always quoted (for example, instead of ).
