Hello All,

I was hoping some of you wouldn't mind offering opinions on a couple of
questions that I have about the triangle area.  My family and I will
be moving to the triangle area this summer.  So I am looking for 
information on where to live.  I`m particularly interested in opinions
on which school districts are considered the best.  Both of my children
who are in school are currently enrolled in learning disability classes
one for math the other for reading.  I am hoping to find similar programs.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Also if anyone knows where a soon to be unemployed Scientific Programmer
(FORTRAN) should/could send a resume it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know how interested other readers of this newsgroup will be with
this information so feel free to email me directly if you wish but please use
the address below.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about MTBE but you can sure smell the Ethanol!!

I hadn't paid much attention until reading this thread, but when I filled
up my Honda last night, I checked and had gotten a whopping 20 mpg. 
Trouble is, I'm not sure what I was getting before but I feel sure it was a
lot more that that!  I'll try Exxon next time.

Not true.

BOTH cellular providers offer price packages that waive the roaming
charges.  Basically, you pay a higher "per-minute" airtime fee and
don't have to worry if you are in or out of your "home" area.  Normally
you have to pay a surcharge for airtime outside of your "home" cellular
area.

I had this plan for 2 years with Cellular One.  I paid $.35 per minute
NATIONWIDE.  Later, I changed jobs and quit traveling and I switched
to a cheaper plan.  Less per-minute home charges, and since I never
roam (well hardly ever) I come out ahead.

With either company, you must do your homework and study your lifestyle
and needs for the phone.  In some cases, the more expensive plan will
be the most economical, viewing just the monthly bottom line.

any

and chairs?
Of course, I'm looking for excellent workmanship at a reasonable price.
Also, do you know if it would be less expensive to just sell the table and buy a

Well, Mitzi, it seems that our cars are once again acting very much alike. 
My Saturn SL is also maintaining its mileage quite nicely.  Hovering around
the 35-40mpg (depending on how much highway mileage I put on the thing).  I
agree, they're the BEST cars around.

NOT TRUE.  Both companies once offered such plans - but they are not
available any longer (i checked just before Christmas).  Deregulation
of the Cellular companies has elimated those cheap plans.  If you
have one of those plans now, it will not be taken away from you - but
you cannot sign up for them now.  Centel has a 19.95 plan as their
lowest cost plan and Cellular One's lowest price plan is slightly
higher than that.

I'm not sure this is true either - deregulation and such.

Actually, you can purchase phones for around $99 (maybe less) that
have 6 month contracts with the lowest ($19.95 rate at Centel and 15 minutes 
of air time).     


One point I didn't mention previously.  Check those plans carefully.
For example, the centel 19.95 plan gives you 15 minutes of air time.
Additional time is 60 cents per minute during peak time and 20 cents
at off peak.  The next higher cost program gives you 30 minutes
at 50 cents a minute for extra time - but no off peak discount.

There was a price guide out but I think the publisher is out of business. 

Most 78's have no collecting value, particularly old pop, big band, jazz. I run a used record store and we used to have to include in some of our advertising a request that people with them not call us. There are an incredible quantity of them in attics (at least in Durham).

The bulk of those that are of value fall into these categories: pre-WW I opera, race & hillbilly (mostly 1930's), and early rock 'n' roll (LP's had come to dominate so the 78's pressings were of low volume & sought after by completists).

There is a dealer in Burlington who handles some 78's but he operates out of his house & I can't remember his name. I _think_ there is a shop in Charlotte called the Wax Museum.

Another intersting point on Ethanol-Gasoline Mixtures...

As a Volunteer Firefighter, I have been trying to keep up with the state-of-
the-art in firefighting technology.. well, the thing to fight fuel fires with
is foam.. several different types exist, each for a different type of flamable
liquid.  If you see a gasoline truck running down the highway, you will notice
 a little red diamond shaped sign with the number 1203 on it.  That means
"Gasoline", "Gas Oil", "Gasahol", "Motor Fuel, n.o.s", or "Motor Spirit".
Fires on all but one of those fluids can be fought with a single foam compound.
See, the alcohol in Gasahol does really nasty things to the lower-cost foam
compounds that work just fine on Gasoline [and close relatives].  Not only
is this a conspiracy between the EPA, ADM, the Oil Companies, and the
automotive manufacturers, it expands to the chemical companies who are gouging
the [overworked and underpaid] fire departments and making life on the highway
just that much more dangerous for us all...

If you agree with gasahol or not, please contact the DOT and let them know that
you feel there should be a distinction in placarding between gasoline and
gasahol products.  Those that fight fires thank you!

Have a nice day.
