We're wanting to mount things to our walls... and we need to figure out how best to deal.

If there's a studfinder out there that can differentiate between metal and wood, that'd be even better.

(I suspect any originally-located walls are turn-of-the-(last-)century wood stud, but seemingly covered with sheetrock - probably when brought up to modern electrics, and I have no idea when the last major renos and wall-moves were and thus what they're likely to have been done with. So then the questions are: What's the best sheetrock anchor out there? Do you use different hardware on metal vs wood studs? What else do I need to be taking in to account that I haven't thought of?

Thanks!)

Tonight, with the passing of Rick Wright, the name on my mind is Amaryllis (Dave) Berne-Keyt.

Anyone have any info on where she is now?

... so that you don't make your admins want to kill you...

Has anyone ever seen something like this?

Things I know: "It's broken" is bad. "Fix it" is bad.

More detail is good.

For my local package, screen shots are annoying and should be avoided if possible (the email notification eats the attachment).

Beyond that, there's a lot of luser-friendly advice one can give, and if someone else has already written it, I really don't want to re-write it.

Anyone have any pointers?

Thanks...

Does anyone have an mp3 of Weekend-Only World, by T.J. Burnside-Clapp?

I have it on tape someplace, and I have her hand-written original lyrics someplace, too...
but neither of them are easily findable, and even if I find the tape, it's hard to play it.

Thanks...

Anyone happen to have bedspace for Saturday (and perhaps, but not certainly) Sunday nights at Balticon?

Thanks...
JB, and his last-minute planning....

Anyone know any really good orthopedists in MD/DC/VA area?
I'll explain more if you need more for a recommendation.

Thanks!

(Edit: Specifically, we're looking for back specialists, relating to fractures and herniated disks.)

So, I have 4 really nice tie dyed t-shirts, 3 from these folks - later 'this guy' - from central VA, dba Yakshi, one from some unknown source.

Unfortunately, all 4 of them are dying from age and wear. More unfortunately, Yakshi's no longer doing clothing - the last time I saw him, he was only doing large art hangings.

So who's got a source of exceedingly good tie-dyed t-shirts they want to share?

(Yes, I know. I don't ACTUALLY need any more t-shirts... but I'd like to have some good tie-dye... And hell, if they have some really exquisite fabrics, maybe I'll have Maxwell's make me a tie-dyed formal shirt next time they're in town. ;)

So, one of the justices of the peace listed on Somerville's hand-out sheet speaks the following languages:

English, Afrikaans, Arabic, Dutch, Gujarati, Hindi, Laapa-Laapa, Nchiyanja, Nshona, Persian Farsee, Portuguese, and Urdu.

The internet... in the form of Google, and of Wikipedia, has never heard of 3 of them.

I'd guess that they're African, but... I don't know!!!

Anyone?

Where can I buy 2-3 glass blocks??

The local Home Depots say they don't have them. I don't want 8-10, so I don't want to order them online.

Oy.

SilverFast or VueScan?

If you don't have a reason for picking one, feel free to do so anyway, but please let me know. :)
