Comment on How to find a buyer for high quality lumber recovered from the walls of an older home? by seamstress

Contact a builders in a hundred mile radius who specializes in building restoration or constructing additions with recovered materials. These contractors are always on the lookout to recycle recovered items not available in today’s lumber yards. And, yes, they will most likely be happy to help remove the tongue and groove redwood boards so that they are assured they will be removed without damage.

I don’t know if your boards are of furniture quality, but contacting some carpenters might not be a bad idea. You never know if they need unique materials for a client’s project.

You may also try and go to a lumberyard, not a big box home improvement store, and ask them if they know builders who specialize in restoration renovations. You may not want to tell them why you want to know because then that contractor gets supplies from you and not the lumber yard. Ya Know??

Take some great photos and measurements and make yourself some phone calls. I am sure someone would be interested in your redwood boards. Good Luck

Comment on How to stop a computer on my home LAN from accessing internet but allow access to other computers on LAN? by GJneedsanswers

As previous answers have mentioned, you could configure a firewall rule in your router to block that computer from getting to the Internet.

If your router doesn’t have that functionality, you could configure that computer with bogus / fictitious DNS addresses. Of course, I would suggest using private IP addresses for this. You could log in the computer as administrator to make those changes, and then the person could have a plain user account, and even if they knew what was going on, they couldn’t make changes since it’s just a user account. That computer would still be able to see the Windows network, because Windows uses netBIOS for that.

Comment on How to carry a number over from 1 sheet to another on Microsoft Excel? by Non_Elitist

You did not specify which version of MS-Excel, so the following will be based upon 2003 or earlier.

By default, Excel uses the "A1 Reference Style", which refers to columns with letters ("A" through "IV", for a total of 256 columns) and refers to rows with numbers (1 through 65536). These letters and numbers are called row and column headings. (The other style is called the "R1C1 Reference Style".)

A "relative cell reference" in a formula, such as A1, is based on the relative position of the cell that contains the formula and the cell the reference refers to. If a cell contains a formula, and the position of the cell changes, then the reference is changed. If you copy the formula across rows or down columns, the reference automatically adjusts. By default, new formulas use relative references. For example, if you copy a relative reference in cell B2 to cell B3, it automatically adjusts from =A1 to =A2.

An "absolute cell reference" in a formula, such as $A$1, always refer to a cell in a specific location. If a cell contains a formula, and the position of that cell changes, then the absolute reference remains the same. If you copy the formula across rows or down columns, the absolute reference does not adjust. By default, new formulas use relative references, and you will need to switch them to absolute references if you wish to always refer to the same location no matter where that formula gets moved to. For example, if you copy an absolute reference in cell B2 to cell B3, it stays the same in both cells =$A$1.

A "mixed reference" has either an absolute column and relative row, or absolute row and relative column. An absolute column reference takes the form $A1, $B1, and so on. An absolute row reference takes the form A$1, B$1, and so on. If the position of the cell that contains the formula changes, the relative reference is changed, and the absolute reference does not change. If you copy the formula across rows or down columns, the relative reference automatically adjusts, and the absolute reference does not adjust. For example, if you copy a mixed reference from cell B2 to C3, it adjusts from =A$1 to =B$1.

Beyond the normal cell reference, you can also have a reference to another worksheet. In the following example, the AVERAGE worksheet function calculates the average value for the cell range B1:B10 on the worksheet named "Marketing" within the same workbook:
= AVERAGE( Marketing! B1:B10 )
Notice that both the name of the worksheet and an exclamation point (!) precedes the cell range reference.

Sometimes, you want to be able to capture data that is in one worksheet and use it for a calculation on another worksheet. For example, to create summary reports from the detail data. You can reference cells in one worksheet by using the name of the worksheet and an exclamation point in front of the cell coordinates. For example, “January!B3” means cell B3 in the worksheet named “January”. But if you worksheet contains spaces and/or special characters, then you will need single quotes around the name when used in the reference, such as this:
= SUM( ‘Budget Totals’! C3:F3 )

Likewise, you can link workbooks together in the same fashion. Just add the workbook name in front of the worksheet name, inside of square brackets. For example, “[Budget.xls]YearEnd!A10” means cell A10 in the “YearEnd” worksheet in the “Budget” workbook file.

Comment on How do I get a passport and visa so I may travel to other countries? by photogirl

photogirl — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:01:32 +0000

get passport at post office, you need birht certificate, picture ID, adn adult if you are under 18 who watches over you, $100 bucks. it takes a few weeks to get to you. you do not need this to buy the plane tickets though, just to get out of the country and back in again. i would call AAA about setting up a flight and check prices for you. they are great with that. A trip to Georgia is gonna be expensive ($3000).
it costs $800 to get from RI to Hawaii if that gets things rolling in your mind.

I guess you should start off with "Good morning/afternoon everyone, as you all know, this week is nutrition week. For those that do not know, nutrition week is …. blah blah blah. and just continue on from there.

Comment on How do you go to the dentist without dental insurance? by wize woman

wize woman — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:01:21 +0000

Call and ask the nearest dental office if payments in instalments are accepted, than go and pay by cash, or cheque; if necessary pay the whole amount by a credit card. Also, the dental schools allow their students to practise under supervision and the patients get the low cost treatments. Good luck.
