The reason for that comment was that Helter Skelter was the longest (27 mins, 11 secs) recording the Beatles ever did.

I've just got one question...do the daleks return?
I grew up (in England) watching Doctor Who from the very first episode back in the early '60s. That show scared the living daylights out of me on a weekly basis. The first appearance of the utterly amoral daleks was incredibly frightening. They were like the borg, only worse!

Sorry, I'm a food snob. I wouldn't touch any of those factory-farm derived fowl. I've seen too many documentaries on the disgusting conditions under which they process that stuff. Free-range locally-derived chicken is all I will buy these days.

They are the lost bricks that used to line the Three Mile Island containment structure. Good thing you found them. You and your entire house are now radioactive...no worries that a little demolition and sub good scrubbing won't fix.

The person (interviewer or interviewee) who gives up the number first loses the game. A golden rule in interviewing is that you NEVER give them a number first. They see that as the upper bound and will then either negotiate lower or throw you out on your ear. The best thing to do is to tell them that she expects that they would be competitive based on her job responsibilities, benefits and oppo

I am soooo old that when I started my first professional job we used to do project cost estimates using "spreadsheets". However, these were paper and pencil affairs done with large graph paper and pocket calculators. The big problem with these was if the boss said "what if we change the estimate of hours needed for these three tasks...how does that change our bottom line (lots of

Yikes, Seacrest shows us a work of art and your commenting about the doorhandles on a frickin' economy car? Did you even watch the commercial?

I didn't misunderstand the question, it's just that F2 works differently on the mac than on the PC. What you need is Control + U which should do exactly what you want (of course this is Excel v. X...I don't know if that command will hold up for your version.

Honestly, the after shots looked mostly like bad hair days and some skin blemishes. Don't get me wrong, I think meth and many other drugs (including alcohol and tobacco) are youth and society destruction agents, but those photos didn't do anything.

That doesn't quite do it. When you are copying and pasting a lot of cells, the extra step of going up to the toolbar each and every time really cuts your production rate. It's much faster to use the mouse only for selecting data and use the other hand for keyboard shortcuts to do the cut and pasting.

These are for windows but they're probably the same for mac.
Just go to help and type in "keyboard shortcuts". It'll list more shortcuts than you can shake a stick at.

The other thing that really helps the attic in summer is to have radiant barrier material (aluminum foil or aluminum coated mylar) stapled to the underside of the rafters. Very inexpensive and very effective(though not as effective as having a heat-reflective roof).

I'm getting really POed about this. The idiot is just bombarding the forum with quotes from propaganda sites. For the most part he doesn't even bother to add any commentary (not that his commentary is particularly enlightening). This behaviour seems designed only to disrupt the forum, not to encourage any useful discussion. Where are the forum police?

I've had an energy audit done by the utility in the past and it wasn't worth a whole lot. They caught the obvious things but didn't have a real eye to heat flow issues that were not so obvious. My brother-in-law is a commercial HVAC consultant so he did a quantitative heat loss calculation for part of our house that was a real eye-opener. I found out that the exposed edges of the downstairs sla

Sounds like you're doing the right things. With a house that old, some of the interior walls may be open to the attic. This is especially true if there are any soffits in any of the doorways. These need to be plugged up before the insulation goes in. It might be good to ask about whether they checked this.
Also, how is your weatherstripping and fireplace damper? In most houses the majori
