I have heard from a couple of different people that the Black Mountain

cancelled.  I have heard that there were financial difficulties
with the management of the festival.  I recommend that anyone who has
tickets and was planning on going this weekend call.

If anyone has more information, please share it.

 My roommate has found herself no longer working full time in the same 
place and rather putting in time at a variety of companies all over the 
Triangle. Therefore, the apartment where we live is not the ideal place 
any more, and before our lease expires I'd like to get some ideas on 
where else to live.
  The ideal apartment would be 2 BR, 2 Bath (1.5 can be dealt with, 
that's what we have now) 2 story (condo/duplex type), near the beltline. 
A small community is prefered; if anyone can clue us in to freestanding 
duplexes or small houses that would be great. Close to NCSU, but not too 
close (around Wade Ave/Dixie Trail) would be also great. $480 is the 
spending ceiling. Gas for cooking would be icing on the residential cake.

That's about it. Thank you.

David!  Greetings from elsewhere in the telephone world.

I haven't read the bill (It's probably available for
anonymous FTP from ftp.uu.net, or some other place), but
I do know that the telephone companies supported it, so
I doubt that it prohibited the telcos from doing anything.

The FCC has had some recent rulings dealing with the
applications of fiber-to-the-home, specifically with the
possibility of competition with cable companies.  But,
I don't remember any specifics.

	I enthusiastically second this recommendation.  They repaired deep
stains in our existing white oak hardwoods with beautiful inlays, added
600 sq/ft of white oak plank for the kitchen and den, and finished
the above with tung oil and wax.  We had our upstairs hardwood floors 
refinished with polyurethane (water based) a few months before we discovered 
Blind Nail.  As we compare the difference in the two refinishing methods
every day polyurethane continues to disappoint us, while our appreciation 
of tung oil and wax continues to grow.


	BTW, since it's time to rewax, does anyone know where one can buy 
a floor buffer specifically designed for waxing?   The only ones I've
been able to find are in combination with carpet/uphostery shampooers,
and remind me of Rube Goldberg contraptions.

I have a double/full bed that needs a new home. It includes mattress,
box springs, and metal frame. I can also throw in a mattress pad and
sheets. The bed is in good condition. It's a good bed for one person 
but a little soft to support two people.

I would really like to give this bed to someone who needs it. I can
even deliver. And besides, it's leaning against my piano, so I can't
play until the bed is gone! 8-)

I have a townhouse which has been on the market for about a year now.
I am finding myself with a lot of people responding to the ad

understand how this works, basically, but I don't know how I would go
about setting something like that up.

I am looking for some information on how this works, and where would I
go to get the proper contract forms.  Is a real-estate agency or a
lawyer the only place where these contracts can be found?  I have
tried to speak to a few lawyers in my area, but they all don't seem to
have time to just talk to me unless there's a contract existing
already.  How do I get past this?  Any suggestions?  Any
recommendations from local readers for a good real-estate lawyer in
the Raleigh area would be appreciated.

I have had a time this summer with fleas and had retained Economy
Exterminators last year hoping to avoid the flea thing this summer.
Well, I was not able to avoid the problem.  However when the problem
started I called Economy cause part of the contract is for them to 
come to your house as much as you need.  Well, the flea problem
got so bad they were having to come every day.  The point of this
whole story is that if you need a good, reliable, cheap, dedicated
exterminator then Economy is for you.  Through relentless pursuit
they were able to take care of the problem and my dog and I are 
once again happy and peaceful in our home.  At one point in the
ordeal the guy from Economy actually vaccumed my house for me
cause he had a little extra time.  I honestly will not gain financially
from this I have just been so impressed with the professionalism
and hard work from this company I wanted to maybe help them a little!
Thanks for your time.

We have no fixed procedures for creating triangle newsgroups.
Any news admin that sees a need and is willing to chance the
response can create a group and hope for the best. My policy
has always been that if there appears to be a use for the
group and it doesn't seem (to me) to be controversial, I'll
create it. For anything potentially controversial, I'd suggest
some discussion in triangle.general before anyone jumps in to
create the group.

Since no one has objected to a triangle.politics group, I've
created it. There's clearly some danger of the group turning
into a flame-fest, but I hope everyone will keep the flame
level low in order to keep the group useful. Shouting back
and forth in public won't win your points or impress the
spectators.

I had a hose rupture to my washing machine recently, causing a minor
re-enactment of Noah's ark inside my home.  The sub-flooring, kitchen linoleum
(sp?), carpet, textured ceiling, crawlspace insulation, and possibly the A/C
ductwork was damaged.  So, I need recommendations for the following:

- contractor to replace sub-flooring for about 80% of my first floor.

- contractor to replace the crawlspace insulation below the sub-flooring (may be
  the same guy as above).

- contractor to refinish about 2 square feet of textured ceiling in my laundry
  room (again, may be the same guy as above).

- contractor to supply and lay the kitchen linoleum.

- carpet shop to supply and lay the downstairs carpet.

- A/C specialist to inspect the crawlspace ductwork.  At a minimum, the
  insurance guy said some chemical should be put in the ducts to prevent fungal
  growth.

- finally, I am considering replacing the kitchen linoleum and downstairs
  carpet with a hardwood floor, so recommendations to do this would be
  welcome too.

Usual requirements apply:  quality of workmanship, honesty, integrity, price,
etc.

If it matters, the home is in Cary off Harrison Ave.

Thanks for any and all recommendations.
