"GasBuddy.com can help you find cheap gas prices in your city. It is comprised of 170 gas price information web sites that help consumers find low gasoline prices"
There are two sites I use. The first is for Rhode Island statewide gas prices and the second is for Providence area gas prices.

RSS Feeds and Feed Readers
I have been learning about and using RSS feeds for a few weeks now. RSS feeds are a way to quickly check web sites for updates. You use a RSS feed reader to check for the updates. There are web-based feed readers like Bloglines, Syndic8, and NewsIsFree and stand-alone programs such as SharpReader ,FeedReader and Awasu .
Another option is to use the Firefox browser which has LiveBookmarks and auto-detects RSS feeds. There is also an extension for Firefox called Sage that can be used to check feeds. I prefer to use Sage for my RSS feeds. Finally, another option is to use My Yahoo! which now supports the use of RSS.
A good introduction to RSS can be found on the USA Today website.

Are You Ready For Some Football?
USATODAY.com - Fall TV offers 19-day football streak
Sometimes it seems football is on TV all the time. During an unprecedented stretch of 19 consecutive days this fall, it will be.
Football teams play only once a week, but television viewers are under no such restriction. From Oct. 28 to Nov. 15, at least one football game — major college or pro — will be televised each day. That includes Election Day.
The NFL will present its traditional Sunday-Monday fare, but college football will be on the air for 13 of the 19 days.

National Hurricane Center / Tropical Prediction Center
The Atlantic tropics have three tropical systems right now. I use the National Hurricane Center for updates on the systems. Hurricane Frances is currently 480 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands. Gaston has been downgraded to a tropical depression. Finally, tropical storm Hermine is located 325 miles SE of Cape Hatteras, NC and is moving NW. It is expected to turn gradually to the north. National Hurricane Center / Tropical Prediction Center
