Contemplating doing this because I'm not making it there after work.
How does that work? Do you bring your own towels? I feel like it's a lot of stuff to drag to the gym...
I haven't been in a while since I've been sick, but I usually do. I generally go to the gym a few times a week because I run outside the other days.
Both my gym and my pool provide towels, so I don't have to worry about that. It is still a lot of stuff to bring. I have to bring clothes to change into, plus shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, makeup, and hair straightener (if I don't want to wear my hair curly). Add that to my work bag, my purse, and my lunch bag, and yeah, it's a PITA, especially with public transportation. But it would be as big of a PITA if I went after work; I'd still have to bring all my stuff because my gym is between work and home
Well, these days I just run in the morning from my home (or in the garage on the treadmill if weather is bad), so no gym, however, I used to go to the gym all the time in the mornings to work out or use the pool to swim laps.
Depending on where I was working, I would either bring along work clothes to change into (such as if I needed to wear a suit) or I would wear work clothes to gym and change into them again after (this worked if the dress was more business casual or casual). One of my offices had room to keep a stash of suits there, so I just would get dressed at work (though I showered at the gym). I always had to bring my own towel. I'd usually just stash a couple in my locker and only take one home after it had dried out the next day so I was not lugging wet towels in my bag.
If you can rent a locker for cheap, it is worth it to keep all your shampoo, brush, antiperspirant, etc so you don't have to lug it back and forth every day. I usually kept a couple pairs of undies and a bra in there, as sometimes I forgot those in the morning...ha. You can always go replenish your locker on a non-work day with fresh towels and work wear, etc.
I used to, and the "stuff factor" is a big reason why I don't currently. My gym doesn't provide towels or allow us to keep locks on lockers, so everything has to be schlepped (except hair dryers, which they do have -- but I never use). Back when I did it, I just had a full duplicate set of everything I'd need that either stayed in a locker or was in my bag, so I didn't have to think about it.
I'm thinking about doing it again, because working out after work has been a big fat fail lately. I just don't leave the office. But the stuff is a problem.
Contemplating doing this because I'm not making it there after work.
How does that work? Do you bring your own towels? I feel like it's a lot of stuff to drag to the gym...
DH and I used to do the gym in the mornings. In my gym bag, I had my toiletries, a large towel (bath sheet or beach towel), and brought my work clothes in on a hanger. I had a separate bag for my sweaty clothes and let my towel air dry in the car (put it over the passenger seat or on the back seat) while I was at work. I would use it for 2-3 days, depending.
I kept a pair or two of work shoes in my car, in case I forgot those, which I did, often. One time, I forgot my regular bra at home and had to drive home 10 minutes, then to work 20 minutes, even though from the gym to work was less than 15 minutes.
It was better for me to work out before work as it energized me for the day, and it wasn't far from work or home.
Mine provides towels, (cheap) shampoon & conditioner, (cheap) body wash and deoderant. I have my own locker that I keep my own shampoo and conditioner as well as my body wash and shower shoes.
I like doing it because I can get it done and over with in the morning but it really sucks when you forget something. Like the time I forgot my bra and had to wear my (somewhat gross) sports bra all day!
I do this 3-4 times a week. I like getting it over with in the morning, plus my gym is very quiet in the morning and a mob scene after work.
I schlep one big bag every day. Its actually a boat and tote tote bag from LL Bean. So its pretty big. My gym doesnt provide anything, so I pack towel, flipflips, soap, shampoo (when im washing my hair there, which isnt every day) plus my clothes and makeup. I have soap and face wash that I just keep in my gym bag, makes things a little easier.

Blue And White Wedding
This is a 6" X 10", first cake in 3 years where the customer wanted column separated tiers! This design is based off the black and white cake shown frequently by 'Real Simple' magazine. The flowers are RI and all the rest is BC...I've done this design before (black/white cake and green/black in my photos)and it's amazing how different one design can look but changing up the colors and placement of the tiers.

The Etymology of "Woot," Part 1
First, let us
say, unequivocally, that we will hunt down the next journalist who uses
the above headline for an article on Woot. Then we will force-feed
priority pucks to him/her until our supply is depleted. And if you're
writing a story about us, we are not w00t, w00t!, woot!, woot.com, or
Woot! Yes, woot.com is our web address. Yes, Woot! is what our logo
says. But we are simply Woot, or Woot, Inc. if you're nasty. You have
been warned. Now, on to business…
I may be opening myself up
to your slings and arrows here, but I have to admit I'd never heard the
term "woot" until Dave told me about this new web site his charming,
brave, talented brother was launching (hi boss!). So lately I've been
wondering: how many of you were familiar with the word before you heard
about the burgeoning ecommerce site/mind-control cult at woot.com?
times a day, I find myself explaining "woot" to grandmas, probation
officers, and disinterested bartenders at the local dives. "Double-you
oh oh tee, like 'loot' with a W instead of an L." It's actually so rare
that someone knows the term that as I repeatedly try to explain it, I
just end up feeling foolish and tired…so very tired…
Then a
couple of months ago, Merriam-Webster, inventors of the English
language, released their annual list of the most popular non-words. Lo
and behold, "woot" came in at #3, sandwiched between "confuzzled" and
"chillax." Our favorite non-word outright pwnz the interjection
division, as the only such part of speech to make the list. (In your
face, "OMG"!) But where are all the woot-speakers that placed the word
on M-W's list? Evidently not at the bars, family reunions, and support
groups I go to.
So what about you? A couple of days ago we asked about your
introduction to Woot the totally awesome web site - now we're asking
about the word itself. Do you have a personal
relationship with "w00t"? Are you now or have you ever been a member of
the Wootarian Party? Did you know "w00t" before you knew Woot?
Coming in Part 2:
we probe the various stories about the origins of "woot," and explain
how nothing is really true, ever, so you might as well hold up that
7-11, because "prison" is just an abstract mental construct. Plus: mad
bootylicious beats, yo!
Anyone that's ever played online FPSs are very well familiar with the vernacular that is "w00t." In fact, I believe the term was originally concocted during a particularly heated TvT round of Counter Strike.
I always figured it was the typical crass stupidity that inhabits certain sectors of the online community, and that in this specific case, they did not know the word was actually "Woo!", as in short for "Woo Hoo!", which you'd think they would know from at least The Simpsons if not elsewhere. It's certainly not the first word taken out back and shot by the script kiddies, that's for sure.
to me Woot is a gaming term that I have accepted into my vocabulary has a term meaing excitement as in:
Woot! I totally just fragged your @$$
Woot! I beat the game!
But I use woot to express joy as well as in
Woot! I just bought some poker chips
Woot! I just ate your lunch
So to me Woot means two things 1. I am happy or 2. I just pwned something or someone.
oh and since 3/30/2005 Woot has come to mean a daily site I check, or I also use Woot's name in vain... as in
@@$$% WOOT! I stayed up for this!!!
Can I spell it VV()()T ? No?
I just wonder how much influence the availability of woot.com in WHOIS influenced the decision to go with this name. Jason?
Another evil cult introduced me to woot. Everquest the MMORPG that once it gets a hold of you its hard to get off of like crack. Even after years of inactivity in that game I can still picture most of the world in my head, remember the mobs names and what not. There are so many different people that play it hence the first M[MORPG]. It a clash of all the cultures and the ability to spread like wild fire that made such words like woot so popular. Its crazy how much video game have become a part of our lives.

Wasn't there recently some sort of virtual bubonic plague that just about wiped most lower level characters on that thing? w00t!
I found plenty of W(ow! L)oot! In Everquest, Doom and, of course, Duke Nukem as I toddled down the RPG/FPS road of life to Doddering Senility, where I now reside in the third house on the left.
I was introduced to the term "w00t" originally as "w00t!" followed shortly by "I ju5t fr4gg3d ur a55, I m teh L33T H4X0R!! OMGWTFBYOB..." ad infinitum back when I was playing CounterStrike and had a WONID in the triple digits, so it's been a while. Since then, I've obtained useful gainful employment, found love, found sex, found grass, the sun, clouds... all sorts of things!
I found my beloved woot (as in woot Inc.) through a friend. I, unlike everyone else who posts in the community boards it seems, have yet to say, think, or God Forbid, post "OMG WTF! I waited up for this?!?!?!" Yes, yes you did. Now you can

Mmmmkay? Kthxbye!
*wanders idly into the room, a giant 'Spleen-Buster' sized 7/11 Cherry-Coke Slurpee clutched in one paw and a bundle of Teriyaki beef sticks clutched in the other and crashes down into a giant virtual bean-chair*
Ok, so I'll be hanging out with a friend (or friends if I have the money to spare to buy the extra friends), and we'll be watching our favorite tv show(s) / movie / video game, and something extrodinary happens that we really seem to like? And *w00t* just leaps like hot burning oil out of a frying pan and fills the air.
As long as I can remember *w00t!!* is like a shout of joy / happiness / excitement. It wasn't until just recently that I discovered "woot.com", or Woot Inc. cause I AM nasty.. but I started wondering where the evolution of *wOOt* started.
Back when Everquest was brand new and I turned into a complete game-whore (tough to imagine no? I had my Troll Shadow-Knight whoring himself out for bits of armor and weaponry!) ... Woot was used to mean "Wonderful Loot".
Travel even FURTHER back into geek history (geeze, I'm admitting to this)... when I played Dungeons & Dragons... Woot was "Wow ! Loot!" when our sadistic DM finally saw to lettings us have a paltry bit of treasure after hacking our way for weeks through halflings or half-orcs or other bits of scaley nonsense, and our weeks of work would result finally in a pile of coinage so small as to have us all swearing we were going to cut the DM's brake-lines or have us all mumbling like an escapee from the local lock-up about the many uses of "Crisco".
So, there's an insight into the mind of yet another 'geek'.
there's a message board i read a lot where :woot is an emoticon ...
to the best of my knowledge, it predates Woot by at least 3 years.
Wasn't it the chorus to some crappy old rap tune:
Woot - there it is!
Woot - there it is!
Ok, so it is really "Whoop there it is!", but it would make a great theme song if you ever do audio ads. If so, please mail me a check in the amount of $50 for the idea.
Woot was first ment as a we own you type deal.
Then it degraded into, I(we) just pwnzed you! As well as Dang, look at me(This)!
Now, its just a common word that is embedded into the psychi of everyone. Thinking woot means, WooHoo. Negative, WooHoo means WooHoo, woot is supposed to mean, "we just beat on you" and the ever popular in old Rogue Spear matches, "woot woot!!" or the other usage, "Wooooooooot" when you Frag/Naded someone and couldnt help me proud of yourself for that kill.
Now, woot is known to many as, One Deal One DAy, which is fine and dandy, but Woot will always (to me) be known a word meaning, "Woot!"
woot....the sound of a train's horn....at least that's what it sounds like to me
woot!...a term of excitement.
woot...as defined by urban dictionary:
Woot originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a computer. However, with the term as coincides with the gamer term, "w00t".
"w00t" was originally a trunicated expression common among players of Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for "Wow, loot!" Thus the term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement.
As an acronym, can mean Waste of Our Time or Way Out of Topic (online forums) Less common....hmmm sounds like a winner to me....
Hey, I think I finally get last week's Photochop contest! Here's my entry! Compact, portable, AND pun-y!
Earosmith! Get it?!! EAR-o... Ya see, there's an ear, and...
P.S. I remember woot from wa-a-a-ay back when it referred to root access on a Unix machine.
"Woot" is an ancient word that originated in the southern province of the Turkish Empire in the 3rd Century BCE (For those that are living under a rock we academics changed BC to BCE and AD to CE, Common Era if you require further assistance). The term "woot" was used to make aware the public of the incoming Greeks. Little men would hide in small cracks of buildings, feeding off the crumbs of passerby's..
These little men were responsible to watch the waters for invaders. Upon catching a glimpse of said invaders the little men would claw their way up the buildings, scale roofs, and ring a bell. The little men would then scream "WOOT WOOT WOOT!" The guards were told to pay close attention to the ringing of the bell and the calling of the WOOT! As soon as they heard this call from the little men they would run inside the palace to warn the prince immediately.
Upon receiving such information the prince would then scamper to his chambers in the basement where he could ride out any terrible battles that may ensue. While in the basement hiding from the Greeks, Prince David (coincidence, I swear!) became frustrated with the long battles.
With no end of the war in site Prince David decided it was time, to up and start the greatest web site known to man. He scrapped together the few belongings he was able to store in his basement. The Prince knew he would have to space out the selling of his items so that he could sustain a steady income capable of supporting his lavish lifestyle. He decided to sell just one item per day, and at this rate he could survive another 10 years in the basement. And that is how Woot came to be.... Well done...
My fiancée introduced Woot as a web site offering good, sometimes great, deals on stuff. Regardless of price or lameness every thing gets an entertaining write up. It wasn't until the first Woot off that I realized Woot was more than just good deals. It's a reason to stay up late, to get up early, to be late for work. It's hitting the refresh button every 30 seconds, even though you know that lemonade maker isn't going anywhere. You got time to get to or from work (shower? I don't need a shower, I took one yesterday, or maybe the day before), maybe even hit a drive-thru. Just got to check one last time. Awe, come on, it looks like the bar is moving BACKWARDS. No changing your minds people!! If you aren't sure about something, buy two. Let's go! I'll leave as soon as the next item comes up. Unless it looks like it's moving quick.
Anyway, The sound "woot" started during that Lent when you gave up swearing and couldn't say "Ooo, $hit!" when trying to find techie bargins on-line. It is also the sound you make when you realize that the woot off has made you late to work.
I found Woot, your Woot, as in Woot.com, when I tried to figure out what "woot" the word was. I had heard people say it time and again and, worried that I'd be a 20-something in New York without knowing the definition of a seemingly popular slang term, I turned to my good friend, Internet Explorer. My first instict was to Google it (I love hearing middle-aged professionals used the word "google" as a verb.) but before I completed the ".com" and hit Enter, I said to myself, "Maybe 'woot' is some new website with a character of some sort who says 'Woot!" and it just kinda caught on..." So I typed in "www.woot.com" and there I was, a virgin wooter, admiring the day's item (some sort of speaker if I remember correctly). I still had no idea what "woot" meant and assumed that this site was not its origin, but I considered my search successful regardless. Months later, I am a daily wooter, and I still have no idea what "woot" means.
I thought WOOT originally stood for We Owned the Other Team, but of course it's used in lots of non-team-based situations as well. Like when my high-elf mystic dings level 53, I'll probably /gu Woot!!
Originally heard it in MUDs way back when RPGS were text and a lot of the WooT buyers prolly weren't even alive yet. It is used a lot in MMORPGS and FPS.

Middle-aged professionals pay Google's bills by advertising their companies on there, sonny ;-)
While not quite there myself (I'm 33), I love hearing post-pubescent script-kiddies make fun of the old-timers (who actually laid the groundwork of ARPANet) while they play Everquest with their virtual girlfriends 2000 miles away. I'm sure they're proud.
Two words:
Arsenio Hall
"And if you're writing a story about us, we are not w00t, w00t!, woot!, woot.com, or Woot! Yes, woot.com is our web address. Yes, Woot! is what our logo says. But we are simply Woot..."
Why would you simply be 'Woot' if your logo says 'woot!'? That doesn't make any sense. I feel for the journalist for having to deal with such irrational minds...
I always learned woot! as being a 1337 h4><><012 type thing or retarded 13y/o playing counter strike type thing and it was supposedly an acronym for:
Own the
which would be fitting for woot becaue they do infact own AFAIK the marketshare for online one item a day retail stores....
Bubb Rubb and Little Sis made up the word..
The whistle goes WOOT WOOT !
I wore a shirt that says "w00t!" to my school picture. Geeks of the universe, unite!
As many of you have pointed out, it is totally a gaming term. But for those looking for a more elaborate explanation, checkout the every awesome--wikipedia.
Here is the entry:
For me, the word became vernacular in the 70's...
Remember those road trips in the family "fake-wood" oldsmobile stationwagon? ("Fake-wood" - you know the stuff, it looked like wooden drawer/shelf liner applied to the outside of the car?)
You fought your sister/brother for the window to get the truck driver's attention to blow the horn. (Back then, you didn't care about seat belts. You slid back and forth on the seat as your dad cornered a turn too fast.)
"Woot, woot!" Insert *downward arm motion*
Now, that is the true derivation!
Damn, I feel old!
I think it's obvious that the teen girl squad first said w00t.

I think, given what was said in the article, they are far far more likely to mail you a rabid Tasmanian Devil with a craving for eyeballs and...other spherical body parts.
i thought the word came from online games such as ultima online, etc.
i remember fmy first experience with it was during the days of quake II and starcraft after that, obviously other online games since then
its been around for quite some time
CapnJrod's Dictionary states the following:
1.) w00t (pronounced "woot") -
An exclamation of happiness used primarily by 'l33t h4xx0rz' and people in the online gaming community, but spilling over into other online communities as well. Often used in close proximity to other common 'l33t' phrases like "n00b", and "pwn3d", and "WTF"; these 'l33t' phrases are often followed by the ending punctuation, "!!!!!!!!!!!111111one"
Origins of the word:
The origin of the word w00t can likely be traced back to the early days of Counter-Strike, a popular first-person-shooter(FPS) online game. While the word was most likely created and used prior to this in hacking forums, MUDs, MMORPGs, and other online communities, it seems it was not made popular on the web until the Counter-Strike era. This may be partially due to the large diversity in user base for Counter-Strike compared to previous online communities, including people from every walk of life like the everyday working man and the bored teenager. The joy of the internet and online gaming was no longer confined to the computer-nerd niche. Also, with the increasing popularity and availability of the internet at this time, many people who were previously incapable of using the internet were now playing games like Counter-Strike into the wee hours of the morning and picking up new terms such as w00t from their new online buddies. While offline it is not yet entirely widespread, it is still understood and used in the majority of online communities.
see also:
l33t, Counter-Strike, pwn3d, n00b, h4xx0r
2.) Woot -
A popular online sales site usually found selling one randomly ridiculous item per day, usually electronic in nature. This site started mid 2004 and has been growing in popularity ever since. Prices found on the Woot website are usually lower than can be found anywhere else. Also, many decent items tend to sell out in about 12 hours from the time of listing, with some of the most popular selling out in under an hour such as the recent "Virgin Electronics Boomtube EX" portable speakers.
The modern iteration of the word does hark to gameplaying ...
An l337-sp34k (elite-speak) version of Whoo! with an added 7 (T) for 007. L33t Sp34k is generally believed to have originated in Quake or old newsgroups.
An acronym in team-based gameplay, meaning: We Owned Other Team.
However, it predates online gaming going back to the days of D&D ...
Gaming slang -- the original use meant 'Wow! Loot' in Dungeons and Dragons play.
But what of the difference between w00t, woot, and wh00t?? ....
Inspired (a long time ago) by a conversation with Matt Webb and Dive Into Mark's History of the tilde ... this graph of the incidence of the three different terms on Usenet over time - figures courtesy of Google Groups' search results pages...
But most historical of all is its usage in the Canterbury Tales dating back to the late 14th century ...
Some of you may be interested to know that "woot" is a middle english word, meaning "know".
A SHIPMAN was ther, wonynge fer by weste;
For aught I woot, he was of Dertemouthe.
(Transl: There was a shipman, dwelling far in the west;
For all I WOOT, he was from Dartmouth.)
(Chaucer, General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales)
What is less well known is that Chaucer, after shaking up the establishment with his racy Canterbury Tales, attracted a following who called themselves "the olde Poole of London". They had a grand old time predicting which individual tales from the Book of Canterbury Chaucer would read at court. Only a handful of their names have survived in the records. There was someone called Norman, obviously, because these were post-conquest days. Also, a man with the strange monicker of Gopherstyke, a chap with the surname Byrd, plus someone called Lemman Dogge (it translates as something like Sweetest Dog, but I'm no expert). This odd group of Chaucerians would welcome each other with the esoteric greeting "Woot" whenever they got together. I'm no scholar, but it would seem to suggest that they meant something like "Knowledge" or "Enlightenment".
I was first introduced to the term while playing a tabletop game called "Over the Edge" on the Online Gaming Resource, a MUSH. (Telnet)
This was 7, almost 8 years ago, now. Geeky? Naaah.
Ironically, for all that I'm a nerd, I found Woot through an article in Time Magazine (Online). I don't normally plug geekspeak or leetspeak into my browser and see where it takes me (although www.omfg.com is pretty funny).
While the term may have been used by Chaucer or as a warning to the Turkish prince, and although the sound of a truck horm may have been mimicked by kids on roadtrips, the expression first became popular in 1989 as the mantra of the audience in the short-lived Arsenio Hall Show, as they chanted and pumped their fists in unison.
Actually, It's Canadian for "What".
McGuffy wrote:Actually, It's Canadian for "What".
"Eh," what's this "aboot?" Did you take my "colouring" crayon away?
According to the Jargon Lexicon
An interjection similar to "Yay!", as in: "w00t!!! I just got a raise!" Often used for small victories the speaker does not expect to be of special interest to anyone else. Some claim this is a bastardization of "root", the highest level of access to a system (particularly UNIX), originated by script kiddies as a 133tspeak equivalent of "root", and said as an exclamation upon gaining root access. Others claim it originated in the Everquest multiplayer game as an abbreviation of "wonderful loot". Still other claim it on originated on IRC as the "Ewok victory cheer"] Adj. w00table has the sense of "cool" or "nifty". This is one of the few leet-speak coinages to have crossed over into non-ironic use among hackers.
That's from the most recent Version (4.4.6), which was modified last on October 25, 2003.
The VP OverLord of Programming uses this on occasion as an away message in iChat, which is where I first saw it a few years back. Not being into 1337-speak, I haven't used it much, sort of forgot about it, until I saw your site bookmarked in that same accomplice - erm - colleague's del.icio.us RSS feed.
I first encountered the term "woot" when I became addicted to a popular MMORPG... The Saga of Ryzom.
After you kill a monster, you can quarter it's remains and use them to craft useful items... these body parts are also know as "loot".
So... when you got good loot, you said "woot!"... then it migrated to a definition for anything good. When you gained a level, or found The Secret Kami Oasis, or whatever... it was a term such as, Congrats! or Yay!!
See more at www.ryzom.com
I first heard/saw the word wØØt in a web forum in which I lurked some four or five years ago. The good ol' BnB (Banter and Brawl) of the Ambrosia SW's EV (Escape Velocity) web boards. I started using it with my fellow geeks, dweebs and nerds when I would "school them" to use the vernacular of the time. Pwning had not yet come on the scene.

UPDATE 2-Kinross okays first-phase expansion of North Africa mine
(Recasts, adds CEO interview)
By Nicole Mordant
March 30 (Reuters) - Kinross Gold Corp said on Wednesday it plans to go ahead with a $300 million, first-phase expansion of its Tasiast gold mine in North Africa that will nearly double the mine's production and slash its production costs.
Kinross, the world's fifth biggest gold miner, also unveiled a smaller, lower-cost second-phase expansion for the mine in Mauritania but said it is still deciding whether to go ahead with it.
The Canadian miner now expects the two-phase expansion to cost $920 million, down from a 2014 estimate of $1.6 billion largely because it has reduced the size of the project to 30,000 tonnes per day from 38,000 tonnes per day.
"We are renovating as opposed to building a new mill. We will utilize components in the existing mill," Kinross Chief Executive Paul Rollinson said in an interview.
The Canadian miner said in November that it was studying the expansion of Tasiast in a "bite-sized," two-step expansion that was less risky in an environment of lower gold prices.
Hit by a nearly 40 percent slump in bullion prices since late 2011, gold producers globally have slashed capital spending and halted or slimmed down new mine builds and expansion projects.
The first expansion phase, which Kinross will proceed with immediately, will expand the mine's mill capacity to 12,000 tonnes per day from 8,000 currently. Continued...

Fed Keeps Rates Low, Tapers Another $10 Billion
The Federal Reserve is keeping key interest rates at historic lows and tapering another $10 billion from economic stimulus measures.
The central bank is easing its monthly securities purchases to $55 billion.The federal funds rate remains at zero to a quarter percent.
A statement from the Fed says a brutal winter took a bite out of economic activity.
It also points out that the unemployment rate is declining, but remains elevated.
The Fed said it still expects to keep interest rates at rock-bottom levels well past the time that the unemployment rate falls below 6.5 percent.
By keeping interest rates low, the Fed is giving the economy a big boost. When interest rates are low businesses and individuals cannot only refinance existing debt, but they can also borrow more money.

Alan! Just got your comment about the Lyndhurst photo now (Ridge & 2nd). That's awesome that you recognized it and used to live there. =) I lived there about a year and a half and was pretty fond of it. Did you ever see when they used to sell graveflowers right on the corner the photo was taken on in that empty lot on the northeast corner of the intersection?
ALSO! I think you may have mentioned a trade, which would be awesome. What do you have? I've got: electricwindmillpress.com --> "numbers" --> issues 1, 2, & 3 of my multi-contributor literary & arts zine. =) (which, by the way, you can read for free on the site if you like!

Steel Wheels
How do you identify 15" chevy steel wheels?
The bolt pattern for GM wheels is 4 3/4" whereas most of the other makers use a 4 1/2" pattern. To determine what the pattern is you measure from the middle of one hole to the bottom edge of the diametrically opposite hole.
This shows how to do that:
i want to make sure my dog dish center caps fit for my 69 chevelle.
Buick,Pontaic,Olds and Caddy had different bolt pattern then Chevy.

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
Monte Carlo biscuits are a classic cream biscuit that has always been popular with kids and adults alike. Now you'll never have to buy them again because this homemade Monte Carlo biscuit recipe combines the crunchy coconut biscuit with a butter cream filling and a little jam.
Biscuit icing/filling:
Preheat oven to 160°C fan-forced -180°C for a non-fan-forced oven.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and cream.
Sift the flours and custard powder over the top.
Add coconut, and mix together with spatula or spoon until well combined.
Roll mixture into balls, no bigger than a 50 cent piece, and place on greased tray.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until bottoms are brown, and tops are golden. They will still be soft in the centre.
Leave to cool. Set aside.
Make the icing by combining all ingredients and mixing with electric beater or stand beater until well combined and a creamy consistency.
Place like-sized biscuits in pairs and then ice one side, in the centre with about ½ cm gap around the edges, put the other side on, and squeeze together to stick.
Store in airtight container for up to a week, or freeze if eating ahead.

Eric and I will be celebrating our six year wedding anniversary next month, and that means we've had our current cookware for the same length of time. We had no idea then that our cookware would be used as frequently as it is or that we would be taking it through three out of state moves. If you were to take a peek at our saucepans and skillets, you would find them well used (that's what happens when they're used almost daily). The nonstick coating has begun to chip away, and it's obvious what that cookware has been through in the six years since we received it.
One of the goodies I got from Big Summer Potluck last year was an Anolon "Everything Pan," and Eric and I have used it so much in the almost year since we've had it. I hadn't heard of Anolon before BSP, but I've been a fan of theirs since first cooking with that pan. So when Anolon contacted me to see if I'd like to review another piece of cookware and give one to a lucky reader, I jumped at the opportunity. Since I already knew how much we liked the Everything Pan, I decided to try another piece of cookware from the Nouvelle Copper Stainless Steel line, this time the 3 Quart Covered Sauté Pan. This pan is every bit as versatile as the Everything Pan, and it is quickly on its way to becoming the most used pan in our kitchen. It has high sides, which makes it perfect for pan-frying, sautéing a bunch of greens, making sauces (which are easier to pour thanks to the shape of the pan and the helper handle) and loads of other things. Like I said, it's really versatile.
I was actually planning to make risotto in mine but ultimately decided to make a recipe that would involve testing it on the stovetop and in the oven, which is how I ended up at this recipe for pan-roasted chicken. It was the perfect way to test out our new pan because it involved searing, roasting and sauce making, all of which the sauté pan handled wonderfully. Since our family of three rarely needs an entire roast chicken, unless we're planning to make something with the leftovers, we decided to change the recipe up a bit and use bone-in, skin-on breasts and thighs. The chicken is first seared to achieve a crispy skin and then roasted to finish cooking. Once it's done roasting, shallot, cognac, Dijon mustard and fresh thyme come together in a simple but flavorful pan sauce. It takes just over 30 minutes of cook time for this to go from stovetop to table, something that obviously isn't possible when roasting a whole chicken. We loved this meal, and Clara devoured the chicken. We made mashed potatoes (to soak up some of that wonderful pan sauce) and broccolini as sides, and it was the perfect Sunday dinner. We'll be making it again soon, but not before we try a few other recipes in our new favorite pan.
Anolon has kindly offered to send one of you lucky readers a 3 Quart Covered Sauté Pan, so head on over to the giveaway page to enter! Full disclosure: This giveaway is sponsored by Anolon, and I received the same piece of cookware to review. All opinions are purely my own.

West Valley City police Friday were trying to figure out why a 34-year-old man sped away from a gas station when approached by an officer, only to crash into a home a short time later.
West Valley police Lt. Rick McLenon said the man was taken to the hospital about 1 a.m. Friday for treatment of minor injuries sustained both when his car careened into a duplex near 4700 South and 4800 West and from fighting officers and a police dog during his arrest.
An officer was fueling his car at a Maverik gas station at 4692 S. 4800 West when the suspect allegedly drove his car over a curb and down a sidewalk before pulling up to a gas pump. The officer approached the man as he exited his vehicle to question him about his driving.
The suspect refused to answer, instead jumping back into his blue BMW and speeding away. The officer called in details, and another officer in the area began pursuit.
McLenon said that detectives serving an unrelated search warrant nearby saw the suspect vehicle approaching an threw out a tire spike strip, which blew out two tires. The suspect then crashed through a fence, into a car port and collided with a parked SUV, forcing that vehicle up against a wall of a duplex near 4700 South and 4800 West.
The suspect, along with a female passenger, were still in the BMW when officers approached. When they attempted to pull him from the car, the man allegedly assaulted officers and eventually had to be subdued by the dog.
No one inside the duplex, which included two children sleeping inside a bedroom on the other side of the wall, was hurt.
The suspect was to be booked into Salt Lake County jail after being released from the hospital. His woman companion was not arrested; she reportedly told police she had pleaded with the suspect to pull over several times prior to the crash.
It was unclear if alcohol or drugs may have played a role in the incident, but McLenon said the suspect does have a lengthy history of DUI charges.

Grilled Eggplant Rollatini
Italians have a way with eggplant and cheese—it seems like there's endless variations on the theme, all of them incredibly delicious. I had an idea to make one of my favorite incarnations, eggplant parm, on the grill, but while collecting ingredients, had a bit of a change of heart and went another route with grilled eggplant rollantini. I thought this would be a better use of the flames since tender, grilled eggplant are the perfect medium for stuffing and rolling.

(Opening Statement)
"Well, thank you and good afternoon. Before I start, I know most of the coaches have said it and I'd be remiss if I didn't say it, but I want to thank you for being here. I want to thank you for everything you do for the greatest game, that's college football. I want to thank you for what you do for the Southeastern Conference, for what you do for our programs, our student athletes, and the University of Tennessee."
"Probably the most asked question so far has been, How has your first SEC Media Day been? I'll say what I always say. When the SEC does something, it's truly something special, it's a spectacle. That's what makes the SEC what it is today, the best college football conference in the country."
"We talked about building a championship culture, working to get Tennessee football back to its rightful place back among the elite of college football. We talked about doing that brick by brick. That's not a fancy slogan, we really meant that as every brick is symbolic of every individual in our football family and our football organization. It's having clearly defined and articulated standards, expectations and values that are going to guide you on a day to day basis."
"I talk to each player about they were responsible for building their own identity. They were responsible for taking ownership in their own self determination, for their self improvement. That would lend that self into building their own identity. We talk about that championship mindset that you must have to be a championship football program."
"At a relatively early stage, about a month and a half into it, our football team lost over 260 pounds of fat and regained that about 230 pounds of muscle mass. That led me to believe right away that these players are hungry and that they want to win."
"Then you couple that up with the most successful semester that we had in recent times of Tennessee football in terms of academics. We had 46 individuals with a 3.0 or higher. We had a cumulative GPA of a 2.82. That's very important because academics are the forefront of our football program."
"Before we could ever think of being a championship football team, our team had to be comprised of individual champions. That's the way they conducted themselves, the way they were champions in the community, the way they went to class, the way they performed in our off season strength and conditioning program."
"Moving forward to spring football, the biggest thing I thought that we need to improve on was our overall toughness. We call it mental conditioning, the mental conditioning for success that it takes to play at a very, very high level."
"Being in the SEC every day is a grind, every game is for a championship. So we talked about that toughness. We talked about having a style of play. Every great football team has a unique style of play. We talked about now taking that identity that they were building off the field and applying that to their football identity with the effort, the competitiveness that they had, the ability to retain information, the way we were going to play."
"Really we focused on the small details of what it takes to actually play winning football. We really focused on that process. I thought that we left spring football obviously a much better football team."
"But I think the challenge of being a first year head coach in a program is, every day is a learning opportunity. You're learning more and more about your football program, your football team. It's very hard to come up with a total style of play in 15 practices, really 12 practices with the three non padded practices. Obviously as we continue to move forward, August camp obviously is going to be critical."
"What I told our football team is we have to focus on the process. We can't worry about the end result right now. We have to focus on the process. We have to be a better football team and a better football program minute by minute, hour by hour, day to day, month by month. If we just have that focus throughout the course of a long season, we'll like our body of work as the season concludes."
"Two things right now, then I'll answer any questions that you have that's going on with Tennessee football. First thing is focusing on our current team. Making every player on our football team a better person, a better football player, a better student. Just total improvement in every aspect of their lives. Again, our players have answered that challenge."
"The next phase is continuing to recruit a high caliber character student athlete. I think that's critical for the long term success of Tennessee football. Having individuals that understand it is a responsibility that comes along with playing football at the University of Tennessee."
"So we look forward to the challenge of this upcoming season. Very proud of what our team has accomplished in a very short period of time. But moving forward, obviously August camp is going to be critical as we continue to create our identity for Team 117."
(On the process of a first year head coach)
"Well, the circumstances are different. The situations are different. But I think the process and how you develop your football team doesn't change. I think that's been the great thing. Not only for myself but our entire staff, this is the third time of taking over a football program. So I think we've really aided and benefited that. I think that's why the transition has been extremely seamless."
"When I look at it, I didn't have to coach a coaching staff. They understand the values and the beliefs and the principles that we're going to abide by. Right away they could work on earning the trust of our current team and really developing them."
"I think the transition has been seamless and I think we have relied upon those experiences that we gained in the other two places we've been."
(On the 4-3 defensive scheme)
"I think the 4 3 defense fits our personnel and our football program. I think obviously everyone understands the SEC is a line of scrimmage league. You win championships by playing great defense and stopping the run."
"Obviously I think for us and our personnel going back to a four man front, but we'll be extremely multiple. You'll see us in three down in different situations. I think that's the beauty, the multipleness so to speak that we'll be able to have in our defensive scheme, being able to play three down, four down. It starts with playing great defense and it starts up front."
(On Coach Fulmer and Coach Majors)
"I tell you what, Coach Fulmer and Coach Majors have been a tremendous resource. Coach Dickey, as well. We get back to a pride of who we are. They're Tennessee football. The more I can speak with them, the more they can come around, the better."
"But we developed great relationships with Coach Majors, Coach Fulmer, and they've been great. They're the ones who have really laid the foundation. You look at our tradition, General Neyland, so on and so forth, moving on. They've been a great resource for me. I'll tell you this, I've taken great advantage of speaking with them and building those relationships."
(On the SEC experience on his coaching staff)
"Well, great value. One of the things is, of putting the staff together, I wanted individuals who understood what it was to recruit and compete at a high level in the SEC. So these individuals have brought a lot to the table."
"Obviously Willie being a former defensive coordinator in this conference, having great success at Georgia. John being a co defensive coordinator at Georgia, as well. Then the other individual has been Tommy Thigpen who was at Auburn before."
"I think being able to rely on them, them to mentor the staff on what it is to recruit at this level, but also the daily grind that it is, competing at this level, they've been a great resource for all of us."
"Then obviously Robert Gillespie as well, a new addition at our runningback coach. He has been a tremendous addition to our football staff. Having played in the SEC, coached in the SEC, he's brought another dynamic to our staff, as well."
(On the strong strength of schedule)
"Well, you approach it one game at a time. Not to sound like coach speak, but you coach it one day at a time, one game at a time. That's why we have to focus on the process."
"It's going to be a great challenge for our football team. It's also going to be a tremendous, tremendous opportunity as well."
"But that's why this summer, our strength and conditioning area has been big. That's why I've been stressing depth, individuals stepping up. Unfortunately, the situation we're at at Tennessee, we're going to be forced to play some true freshmen. They're going to have to grow up in a hurry."
"The big thing again for us is constant and never ending improvement. We have to be a better football team week one, two, three. Those steps may be small, but we have to continue to progress. That's where your leadership kicks in. We're very fortunate to have a very strong senior class, high in numbers as well. So we're going to look to them to provide leadership and depth as well."
(On fifth year seniors playing for their third coach in five years)
"Well, Marlon Walls is a great illustration. They've done everything for us. We always talk about it's better to be a player coached team than a coach coached team. You want your group of guys that are going to hold everyone to that high standard of accountability, that mental effort and intensity that it takes to perform at a high level each and every day."
"Our senior class, especially or fifth year seniors, have done a great job. Right from day one, I sensed a hunger about them. They're very prideful individuals. Our football program is very prideful. They've really stepped up and taken great ownership in our football program."
(On how he is as a head coach)
"Well, I'm an offensive coach by nature. But I like to look at myself as a CEO. I'm responsible for the vision, direction of the entire football program. The way our players play, the way they represent themselves on a day to day basis, I try to be involved in much."
"I'm not a micro manager, I let them do their job. I'm going to be animated, involved in practice. I want our players to feed off of our energy and our passion. I don't think you can hide that."
"We practice in what we call controlled chaos. I think kids enjoy that. I want them to look forward to coming to practice. I had a great friend, Pete Carroll, that used to say when I was reading his book, that practice is like recess. There's so many things that are going on in our practice, that's where your toughness is born, that's where your leadership is born. You try to simulate so many game conditions as possible."
But, you know, I'm hands on, I'm involved. I've hired an offensive coordinator, a defensive coordinator, and they have a job to do."
(On the uptempo offense)
"The mark of a good football coach is they're able to mold their personnel into what they want to do. I think our offensive system is extremely flexible. I think that's been proven over time."
"We won our second consecutive championship last year at Cincinnati. We had a dual threat quarterback. Mid season we made a quarterback change. He was a drop back passer. We're very multiple on offense."
"There's some things we won't compromise. We do want to play up tempo. In order to play great defense, you have to protect your defense. If that means slowing the tempo down, we'll be able to do that. Like we tell our players, if you practice speeding up, it's very easy now when you slow down."
"We'll mix the tempos. We want to be an up tempo team. People nowadays, I haven't quite understood the term 'spread offense.' Everybody has their own definition of what the spread offense is. Does it mean you're in shotgun all the time? Does it mean you're not in 21 or two back personnel? We're a multiple, up tempo offense."
"I think a lot of times when you hear the element of the spread offense, you think of finesse, and we're not going to be a finesse style football team. We're going to be a physical football team. We're going to run the ball first."
"We think plays instead of players. I think that's where coaches get into trouble, is we want to put the ball in the hands of our play makers. It's plays versus play makers. We want our play makers catching the ball. That's why building our identity as we move forward in August camp is going to be critical as we continue to define who our play makers are. Whatever it takes to get them the ball in space, we have to do that."
(On ending losing streaks against Tennessee's rivals)
"Hear it all the time (smiling)."
"Obviously being at Tennessee, we have a lot of rivalry games. I've heard that about Florida, obviously. I've heard that about Alabama. In order for us to make those rivalry games, we have to get back to being relevant and winning those football games."
"Obviously those are tremendous football programs with Coach Muschamp and Coach Saban. Obviously they've done a tremendous job. I hear that all the time."
"Our fan base is very prideful, so I'm reminded of that quite a bit."
(On being one of four new coaches to the SEC this season)
"You know, not really adjustments. You're still dealing with 17 to 22 year old individuals that you're molding into being great student athletes and football players, earn their college degrees, play with toughness and win football games, let them be better people because they're part of your football program."
"Everyone asks me, What's it like to be in the SEC? My constant phrase is, The best analogy I can give you is every day in the SEC is it's like fourth and one for the national championship. It doesn't matter if it's practice, recruiting, game time which I'll experience soon, the competitive structure of this football conference, the difference between winning and losing is very slim."
"We always talk about in terms of inches make the champion. You're looking for those inches. Everyone is looking for that competitive edge. Everyone is making commitments to their football program."
"That's what makes this the best football conference in America."
(On the offensive line)
"Well, it's critical. Like I said, you win games up front. Obviously to have a returning offensive line that we have is very comforting. They have a lot of expectations going into this season, rightfully so. They have to obviously continue to develop on their pad level of coming off, playing with a greater sense of physicality."
"But they've done a great job and they've been great ambassadors for our football program. I'm more concerned about our depth at that position. I want to know by the end of camp who's going to be our number 6 0 lineman, our number 7 0 lineman."
"Then there's the responsibility of those older players up front to really mentor our freshmen, so when they leave the program that they understand the standard and expectation that it is to play offensive line at the University of Tennessee."
(On entering the year at UT without a clear cut quarterback)
"Each situation is different. Dan LeFevour is different because he played one year. He still had a lot of developing to do."
"We go to Cincinnati, Zach Collaros, it was his first year of being a first time starter. There's a difference. When you become the full time starter, your life changes. You have to block out the clutter, the distractions, all the things that are associated with being a starting quarterback at a very high level in a program that everybody watches."
"I always say, Praise and blame, it's all the same. It's the responsibility of command that comes with the head football coach and the quarterback position."
"So moving forward with our situation, with Justin Worley, Nathan Petermen, true freshmen, we have to continue to develop those people. Our quarterback position is no different than any other position on our football team. We're going to put the best people in those positions that give Tennessee the best opportunity to win on game day."
"I like the progress that Justin has made and Nathan has made. I'm excited to see what the two freshmen bring to the table when we start camp August 1st."
(On Tiny Richardson)
"Absolutely. I think when you want to be the best, you always think about one or two plays that made a difference. Tiny talks about that play all the time. I'll tell you this. Is there anybody more in the country than Tiny Richardson that he has the respect he has for Clowney. Very rightfully so. He can change the complexion of a game in one play as we've seen throughout the course of a season."
"Tiny wants to be the best he can possibly be. He's driven by that, talks about it. We talk about that mindset of a champion, having that championship endurance."
"One bad play can be the difference between winning and losing. So we talk about that all the time. I think that's added to just his overall development as a football player. But Tiny wants to be the best that he can be."
(On social media training)
"We have a character education program that's very, very extensive. It's just like educating your children. My six year old walked in the room yesterday and he wanted to go on Twitter. I'm like, Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's wait a little minute."
"We bring a lot of people in to really train them. One bad tweet can change everyone's opinion of you. Basically the common rule we use is if you can put it in an email to your mother, grandmother, significant other, whoever is important in your life, if you can send that in an email to them, you can push send."
"We talk about the one second rule. In one second, your life can change. That's the world we live in today with multimedia, Twitter, Facebook, everything."
"So we spent an inordinate amount of time of really monitoring that process and trying to educate our players. It can be a positive if you allow it to be a positive, just like it can be a negative. But we monitor that and take great pride in that."
"That's part of the things of being a part of these players' lives, is mentoring them outside the realm of football, but life in general as well."
(On facing Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina)
"I'd like to think of myself as the ultimate competitor, a true competitor. It's in my blood, it's the way that I was raised. Jadeveon Clowney is a great player. He has all the physical intangibles that you could ask for. To be able to run a 4.6 40 at 270 pounds, that's amazing, but I'm ready to go up against him."
(On the offensive line being leaner and meaner)
I think it's going to help everybody, especially on the offensive line when we have to move in the no-huddle.
(On Coach Butch Jones)
He's very personable. He's always trying to build a person relationship with his players and when you have a coach like that, it's going to make you want to run through walls for him.
(On the progress of the offensive line)
It's been three years of hard work, just grinding, grinding, grinding. Two years ago, they were saying that we had the worst line in the country, now they are saying that we are one of the best, so it just shows how hard we've worked as a unit.
(On what to expect from the defense)
"You're going to see a defense that is much more confident. They're moving back to the 4-3 and the defensive coaches are always boosting their confidence. We have good players on our defense and you can expect these guys to be much better."
(On expectations for the season)
"It's definitely the most exciting season that I've been looking forward to, especially as a senior. We just have to keep our momentum going and keep preaching it to the younger guys when the grind of the season hits."
(On the schedule)
"Personally, I want to win them all and I believe we can with the effort level we're trying to play at. We're just going to go out each game and play as hard as we can. Coach Jones preaches to us about focusing on the process and not the end result. If we just keep focusing on the process, the end result will take care of itself."
(On Butch Jones)
"Since Day One, he's brought passion and excitement to the game. He's making the game fun again. In our spring game, we had DJ's out there just trying to keep us pumped up. At the same time, he's serious when it's time to be serious and he's overall a great person."
(On senior experience)
"We are the group with the most experience and I like that. The young guys can look to us and it's on our shoulders to build confidence in them. I've been trying all offseason to build the confidence in the younger guys, and they've been doing a good job of maturing and stepping up. Their opportunity is now and I think they're ready to go out there and prove it.
(On expectations for the offensive line)
"Two years ago, everyone was talking about how bad we were, giving up 45 sacks in a season. (But) we've worked hard and the effort has been instilled in us. We just have to continue to work hard and keep doing it through the season."
(On new head coach Butch Jones)
"It has been the easiest transition out of all the coaches that we've had. Coach Jones made a genuine introduction of himself. He got off the plane, walked into the team room with his family and introduced his sons and his wife to the team. It was quite an impression that stuck with every single player."
(On Jones' expectations for the season)
"I'm confident in his effort. The man is on a mission. I really wish I had three more years with him, but I only have one left, and I can't wait to play it."
(On expectations for the defense)
"We definitely have a chip on our shoulder, but with the new defense that Coach Jancek has set, it will play into our favor, and we're all excited to play."
(On seniors leaving on a high note)
"It's very important and I'm sure it's imminent to every senior. I know it's a goal of mine and I'm sure every senior wants to win. With the situation that we're in, winning would be the best thing ever and if we lost, it would be terrible. (But) there's no choice, we are going to win, and when we do, we're going to be marked as the class that changes this Tennessee program. Expectations are high, and if we're expecting high things, the outcome is going to be great."
(On trusting the offensive line)
"If your offensive line isn't the most trusted part of your offense, then you're going to be failing. I think our offensive line is going to be the best in the country. We have a number of guys that start and in depth that have experience. You have to have experience in your trenches, or you're going to lose."

What great news to hear Kingston Mayor Troy Beets proclaim savings on current loans of "roughly $59,000 in fiscal 2013 and $56,000 in 2014."
Let's hope city council members remember whose money is being saved and gives taxpayers a $60,000 break when they work out those draconian tax increases they recently announced.
Also, here's a question for someone in the know.
We understand Ms. Eleanor Neal was suspended for making a typographical error in reporting Kingston's tax rate to the state.
We read your positive view of Kingston City Council's decision to borrow $2 million and buy a new city hall.
You are correct about the bargain sale price and that the city can easily borrow the money at low interest rates.
However, we disagree adamantly that the reasons for buying justify the unprecedented borrowing and subsequent tax hike.
To indebt the city $2 million so a handful of city employees may enjoy bigger, nicer offices and so council can luxuriate in magnificent new council chambers is folly.
I hate to keep writing negative letters to the editor, but I haven't seen or heard anything positive to be happy about; therefore, I would like to comment on some recent articles in the paper.
County officials seemed very happy that the Volkswagen distribution center that is locating in our county.
That's well and good, but they neglected to say what, if any, incentives (land, tax breaks, etc) were given to this rich company that the hardworking taxpayers of Roane County will be paying.
That seems to be the going thing these days.
We would like to thank the anonymous donor who helped our family with the funeral expenses in the death of our 2-day-old daughter, Judith Mary Anne.
To that person or persons who we only know as "friends," there really aren't words to express how much your gift meant to our family.
May God bless and keep you for your kindness (Matthew 10:42 and Mark 9:41).
Everett and Carol Phillips and family
This is being written in reference to the Our Readers Write letter in the Dec 21, 2011, edition of the Roane County News.
The letter being referred to was titled "Pickup Sent to Drive Away Dead Man Not Appreciated."
First, being members of the Roane County Rescue Squad, we would like to extend our sympathies and condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
Never in the past, present, or future will any member of our organization say or do anything intentionally to disgrace or shame anyone, whether they be rich or poor.
This is to thank the unknown person who helped me get aid in the early morning hours of Dec. 10, 2011.
I called the wrong number because I had fallen and broken my hip, and the man I misdialed was kind enough to get the police to notify my neighbor Buster Pierce.
To that unknown man, thank you so much — without your help, I do not know what would have happened. I was in University of Tennessee Medical Center and Fort Sanders Rehabilitation Center from Dec. 10 through Jan. 30.
God bless you and thanks a million.
Tennessee's new voter photo ID law is nothing less than state-sanctioned voter fraud.
Wait, that's not correct.
It's massive and intentionally deceitful state-sanctioned voter fraud.
The fact that five out of six, or 95 out of 100 people, questioned believe that the photo ID law is OK, good, excellent or just what the country needs is irrelevant.
The new law is not so cleverly cloaked in the language of reform: "to protect against voter fraud" or "ensuring the integrity of the electoral process."
It seems that the national news media have been prepping citizens to the idea that gas prices at the pump will once again reach $5-plus this summer.
Keep in mind that Washington politicians deregulated the commodities exchange in 1998, giving billionaire speculators a free hand to buy and sell all the oil they want.
Prices have nothing to do with supply and demand anymore.
Having moved back to Rockwood after 53 years, I am devastated over my sewage bills.
Water and sewage are on the same bill. I need to know why the sewage bill is two or three times higher than the water bill.
Being on a fixed income, it's hard enough on me to pay a bill that I feel is fair.
These sewage bills are totally unfair. The meter and pipes have been checked for leaks. There are none.
What can we residents do to get our sewage bills lowered?
I have no idea where to go, what to do, or who to talk to.
Thank you for putting our singing in the paper this past year and many years before.
It is the only way many of the people who come to our singing know who is going to be there to sing and when they will be there.
Thank you again for all your help.

Diels-Alder reactions as an efficient route to high purity cyclic polymers
Glassner, Mathias, Blinco, James P., & Barner-Kowollik, Christopher (2011) Diels-Alder reactions as an efficient route to high purity cyclic polymers. Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 32(9-10), pp. 724-728.
A simple and efficient route for the synthesis of cyclic polymer systems is presented. Linear furan protected α-maleimide-ω-cyclopentadienyl functionalized precursors (poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(tert-butyl acrylate)) were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and subsequent substitution of the bromine end-group with cyclopentadiene. Upon heating at high dilution, deprotection of the dieneophile occurs followed by an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction yielding a high purity cyclic product.

Preparing Your Boat for Winter
The opening salvos of the great haulout skirmishes have been fired. Labor Day weekend has come and gone. Marinas have mailed out their winter and spring price lists. School is back in session, the fuel oil trucks are making deliveries, leaves are turning scarlet, and nights are already chilly enough that the windows have to be closed and the furnace turned on. The last regatta has been held. It's time to set a date for hauling out the boat

The idea is to prolong the sailing season as long as possible, but you definitely want to avoid conditions like these.

Some marinas don't allow you much latitude. They set a firm date, usually the end of October, for boats to come out. I know a marina in Michigan that enforces this deadline by stringing a barricade of logs across the water entrance to their business.

Last season, here on Long Island, NY, I pushed the envelope and postponed the haulout until the water was shut off at the docks in mid-December. It was my first season as a sailboat owner, and I didn't want it to end. I thought the marina manager was kidding when he said there had been seasons when he needed a chainsaw to get boats out. But a few weeks later, the entire bay was frozen over with nearly a foot of ice. If I'd waited any longer, I would have been reading Alvah Simon's North to the Night as an instruction manual instead of as entertainment.

Get your boat looking good now and it will be ready and waiting for you in the spring.

The onset of cold weather means that anything that can freeze needs to be taken off the boat, emptied, or protected. And many of the winterization chores simply can't be done with frozen fingers.
Winterization begins with a number of decisions. When to haul the boat out, and how and where to store it are the first. To save costs and/or make it easier to carry out repairs, upgrades, and maintenance, storing the boat in the backyard may be the way to go. If your boat won't need any attention during the winter and the cost is not prohibitive, leave it at the marina under a tarp or have it shrink-wrapped. A tarp is less expensive than shrink-wrapping, but it can also require frequent visits to make sure it has not come loose, ripped, or overburdened with snow and ice.

There are alternatives to hauling your boat out for the winter. You can purchase and install a bubbler system to keep the water moving around the boat so that ice doesn't form. Or you can opt for the less-expensive route of hanging some planks at the waterline, which in during a benign winter will prevent ice from chafing through the gelcoat or breaking away the rudder, and allow you to keep the boat in the water throughout the freezing months. However, this approach is generally not an option unless you live aboard the boat. And it doesn't eliminate the need to carry out routine fall and winter maintenance.

Y>

A simple PVC frame will allow your winter cover to sit over the deck so that air circulates, but dirt doesn't invade.

In some locations, the extra windage of the mast may be a concern when it blows hard, and the safety of the boat may require that you unstep the mast and place it in a cradle. Ideally, the mast should come down since water wicking down it into the swages of the standing rigging can freeze and crack these fittings. Another benefit of unstepping the mast is that it can be laid lengthwise on deck and serve to support a cover, which would otherwise need a frame of some sort to keep the cover away from the deck and provide air circulation.
Before the cover goes on, however, items that can be damaged by the cold, salt air, or mildew, or that might attract thieves, should be removed. And most importantly, the engine needs proper care.

Unlike the parts of the boat that are only animated by wind or muscle, the engine needs special care as the temperature drops. Even an outboard, which can easily be separated from the boat and brought to a warm, cozy place for the winter, needs special attention.

"The onset of cold weather means that anything that can freeze needs to be taken off the boat, emptied, or protected."

The owner's manual for every engine will describe the tasks that must be carried out to make sure your engine fires up again in the spring. Basically, all the tasks are aimed at preventing corrosion, protecting against dirt, and avoiding damage from the cold. Flush and replace all fluidsfuel, oil, water, and antifreezeand replace all filters. Loosen belts to prevent them from contracting and breaking in the cold. Close the seacocks and put duct tape over all intakes and exhausts. Pack the water pump impeller in grease or clean fuel, pour oil into the air intake, and change the engine zinc.

Keep in mind that these are tasks that, if the boat is hauled too late in the year, might not be possible to complete because of the cold. Fingers need to be warm and nimble and fluids need to be fluid, not congealed or frozen.

Most marinas will be happy to do all these chores for you for a price. But, aside from cost, there are at least two reasons why you should try to perform the engine maintenance chores yourself. First and foremost is that the freedom of sailing is closely linked to self-sufficiency. As the captain, you need to be familiar with every part of your boat in order to diagnose and carry out emergency repairs.

The iron genoa will likely require extra effort, like draining some fluids and replacing others.

Second is that your boat needs regular, reliable, loving care. You should have a checklist of maintenance chores based upon manufacturer recommendations and your own sense of what the boat needs. Most marinas have trained personnel who can reliably take care of a boat's maintenance chores, but they are not likely to be following the same checklist that you would be using. And if this is a checklist that has been handed down to you by former owners of your boat, the resale value of your boat may depend a great deal on your ability to attend to each item yourself every year. Marina invoices are not likely to carry nearly as much weight with prospective buyers as a checklist meticulously maintained by a series of owners.

Winterization is, unquestionably, a burden comprised of chores that may be unfamiliar to you, skills that you may not possess, and a tradition that you are not sure you can honor as well as your predecessors. But you owe it to yourselfand to your boatto try. Otherwise, you may wind up with a boat that has a record of indifferent care; a boat that future owners will not value as much as one that has had a succession of responsible, loving owners who were willing to get dirty and bust some knuckles to make sure the boat got the attention it needed. The advantage is that you're bound to learn something along the way.

If you are lucky, you'll develop a feeling of stewardship for your boat. She is a living thing that has been entrusted to your care, and if you care for her, she will care for you. The engine will spring to life at the press of a button to carry you safely away from the rocks. When you lean heavily into the water under the force of a gust, you know the lines and sails will hold and you can enjoy the thrill without worry. The two of you know each other. You've mixed blood and grease, blisters and chafe. And you'll know when the time has come for both of you to take a rest, and slumber through the winter, dreaming of the times to come when the air and water are warm again.

Winter Season Checklist

First, make a checklist of things to do from owner manuals, prior owners' lists, and your own experience.
Select a date for the haulout while still warm enough to manage maintenance chores.
Decide on storage, marina, home, or in-water; tarp or shrink-wrap; mast in or out; let marina know when you want to get back in the water.
Make sure boat is adequately supported by stands or a cradle and oriented to present the least wind resistance.
Pump out bilge and remove or protect anything that can freeze.
Flush and replace engine fluids and filters; carry out maintenance as recommended by engine owner's manual.
Close seacocks, and place duct tape over all hull openings and vents.
Remove sails, examine for necessary repairs, send to reputable firm with clear instructions and return date, or clean and store at home.
Remove and store all electronics, batteries, and cushions in clean, dry place.
Install moisture-absorbent products in cabin and lockers to prevent mildew.
Cover with tarp or shrink-wrap supported by spars or framework to provide for air circulation.
Begin planning next season's cruises.

Communication is vital to any successful relationship. Researchers from the Institute of Food Research and the University of East Anglia have discovered how the beneficial bacteria in our guts communicate with our own cells.
This is a key step in understanding how our bodies maintain a close relationship with the population of gut bacteria that plays crucial roles in maintaining our health, fighting infection and digesting our food.
A study, published in the journal Cell Reports, shows that the gut bacteria produce an enzyme that modifies signalling in cells lining the gut. The enzyme also has another role in breaking down food components.

About 2 months ago I picked up a small sailboat for 75 bucks, got some plywood and fiberglass and went to work. I think the hard part is done, all the major modifications and paint, even the avery grass and oar locks are about where I think they should be. I do need some ideas on how to put doors on the cockpit. I have 3/8" thick plywood running the full length about 3" high. I was planning on mounting the doors to that. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, I only have 27 days till my season starts and I need her done by then.
This is the start of the project
After I got the fiberglass, wood, paint, oar locks, and anchor done
Fully netted and grassed out
