 rack, we weren’t shooting for perfect – just a little smoother and less holey.
After sanding down the old paint and filling in the holes with some wood filler, we applied a primer on top of the whole thing.
Step 3 – Create Notches for Horizontal Posts
The next phase of creating this towel rack was definitely the hardest. We wanted to essentially carve out two notches (one on each side of the post) that would house the horizontal wooden bars of the towel rack. The goal was to make the wooden bars flush with the surface of the post. First up was to figure out where we wanted the notches on either side.
We wanted the bars to be staggered so the height on one side was 52 inches from what would be the bottom of the rack.
The total width of the bar was approximately 1.5 inches so using a square we created the layout of where we wanted to remove the wood.
And on the other side we went for 10 inches lower or 42 inches.
The process of carving out the notches is actually easier to explain in pictures. First up we figured out the depth of the wooden bars we were planning to use. You can see below that we cut the post to the same depth as the bar using our handy little circular saw.
Next, Alan began cutting several lines in the “cut” area we measured out above (the 1.5 inch band.)
Below you can see several of the lines cut out.
And he just kept cutting lines until he was able to use a chisel to finish removing the wood from the notch (see below.)
Here’s a dry run to see if the bar would fit into the notch we created. It fit pretty well, but needed a little extra cleaning out before the bar fit perfectly.
Then we simply repeated the process on the second side and then sanded down any areas we inadvertently roughed up with our method.
Step 4 – Drill Holes for Wheeled Legs
Since moveability was one of the goals, we needed to find large enough brackets and strong enough wheels to support that much vertical weight (even more so with towels and swimsuits hanging off of it.) Below is a shot of the brackets and wheels we ultimately decided on (though I’m not sure why I only took a picture of 2 instead of all 4 of them!)
Here’s what they looked like after all four wheels had been attached to the brackets.
Next step is to pre-drill holes for the screws prior to the final paint job (in order to keep that paint looking as good as possible!) Here’s a shot of one of the sides where I marked where to drill holes.
And here’s after drilling the holes.
Here’s what the bracket looks like installed.
We went ahead and installed all the brackets to do a test run and make sure that they would do the job of holding up the weight. You can see below – it worked!
Step 5 – Paint Post and Bars
All the hard stuff is done – and you’ve just got to make it look pretty! We used paint that we already hand on hand (latex for the bars and post and spray paint for the hooks.)
Step 6 – Attach Wheeled Legs, Bars, and Hooks
Here’s the paint all done – but the bars aren’t secured yet. We were just trying to get a feel for the final product. Yes, that’s our family room – we ended up pulling this project into the house because we just couldn’t handle the heat in the garage (this time of year it’s in the 100’s all the time.)
Now screw your bars and hooks on – and that’s it.
I absolutely love how this project turned out! It’s so nice not having to hang all the wet stuff all over our patio furniture anymore.Exactly. 'Impacting someone else's time' makes it sound like everyone is dedicated to doing just one preordained task when they are playing, and that even those tasks are determined like specific slot by the game dev and player.  


As if for example I or someone else, mining in an asteroid belt, won't answer a distress call from someone on a nearby planet. Just because I'm already doing something else. I can chose not to respond, let someone else handle it, or go off on a  side quest to rescue a downed stranger who got in over their heads trying to do a hard bounty mission like it was just a money farming mission.   


The beauty of emergent gameplay. Now there's risks to quite a few activities.App-aggedon – Should mobiles do God?
If you’re religious, resisting temptation is important. Dustin Stout is a bearded Youth Pastor who looks more like Coldplay’s Chris Martin than a Sunday-school teacher. When his students file into his class before Church he tells them to get their Bibles out – then he pulls his smartphone out of his pocket and starts teaching.
“You might believe that by resorting to a smartphone instead of a physical Bible that I am in some way cheapening the lesson in an attempt to be cutting edge and hip. You’d be wrong,” he says.
Mobile phones are the new frontline in Afghanistan. Handsets, masts and networks have become key targets for insurgents who want to stop people connecting, communicating, and educating themselves.
They want to stop women, in particular, from developing.
Sweeta Noori is the Country Director for Afghanistan of the charity Women for Women. Her family were part the Afghan elite before they fled the Mujahideen. Sweeta returned, and has worked building women’s networks and capacity for more than ten years.
Back in 2018, Roger Federer made a major change. He left his long-time sponsor Nike and signed a contract with Uniqlo. It has now been 2 years since he signed that deal which is why the Uniqlo released a tweet commemorating the partnership. Check it out.
Uniqlo posted a video showcasing the 2-year journey they have had with the Swiss Maestro. It showed Roger’s various outfits and also him working with them. This tweet did not go unnoticed by Federer who posted a video talking about his partnership with Uniqlo.
Roger Federer is going to be working with Uniqlo for a long time as he signed a 10-year deal worth $300 million dollars back in 2018. This means that as long as the Swiss Maestro continues playing tennis, we are going to see him wear Uniqlo.
The Swiss Maestro is hoping to be at 100% when the 2021 season kicks off. And hopefully, we will see him winning some Slams in his Uniqlo outfit when he returns.In a note issued to investors yesterday, CD PROJEKT RED revealed to have already recouped development and marketing costs for Cyberpunk 2077 just with digital pre-order sales. This suggests that any physical sales, as well as digital non-preorder (that is to say, from December 10th onward) sales, will translate into profits for the Polish company.
This, coupled with the previous news that Cyberpunk 2077 registered over eight million pre-orders across all platforms, bodes very well for the financial success of the highly anticipated first-person open world RPG. The game didn’t ship without bugs, granted, but the developers have already begun fixing some of them, while free DLC will be released in early 2021 ahead of the announced paid expansions.
Now that the game is officially out, what are your impressions so far? Let us know in the comments!
The night was eerie, and dank, with the scent of old moss and the sounds of crickets and frogs wailing in a seeming succinctness. Onbo hated the sound, as did his best friend Inara. She trudged their boat through the sludge of the swamp at a tacit pace; as to not get her row caught and broken in the thick, gooey blackness that made up their terrain. It was a desolate, massive jungle; the Jungle of the Dead, the final resting place for citizens of great contribution to the small city of Kibou; a city built from the grounds of a great tragedy, it was one of the few last cities in the world that had potential for a thriving future, and those who were significant in aiding in that goal were sent here. Inara wasn’t much for the strange myths that arose about this place; silly superstitions, she thought; tales of souls being consumed and guided to a place of paradise and peace, it was ridiculous to her, but not for Onbo. Onbo had a look of desperation on his face, reaffixing his Sugegasa as he turned his head to face the small coffin tied to their boat; a look of great worry plastered on his visage.

Inara lifted up her proton lantern to get a better view of the area, letting out a deep sigh to the unending trail of greenish, blackish water; she turned to Onbo with a frown, “Are you sure about this?” she asked with genuine concern, “If we get caught doing this…they’re going to punish you Onbo.”

He grimaced, shaking his head, filled with a defiant nature, “They can do whatever they like; I don’t care!” he grunted looking at the coffin with a deep sorrow, “Mala deserves to be here, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get her to a proper place of resting.”

“So she can find true peace?” Inara asked, her skepticism pronounced in her inflection.

He grinned; he knew well her
