New Question about hooking up 'inside the box' stuff

Any idea if or how can I hook up both cd drives (I think you call them that), so I can burn / record from cd to cd?

I'll get this figured out eventually :)

Many Thanks,

LISA

Lisa,

Yes, they can both be hooked up so you can do what you mentioned above. I think there is something called a "jumper" that you use where they fit into the CPU, but I won't absolutely swear to it. I'm lucky in that one of our Teaching Assistants is a computer guru, so I have given up on reading the instructions for the computer and just take the entire thing along with some food to him and get him to fix it - lazy woman's way out!

If I can find the booklet that came with the CD burner I bought, I will see if anything in it gives some clear instructions.

I've got to get off the 'puter and get out in the ghse and get some work done. Have geranium cuttings coming in next week and still have lot of cleaning and moving around to be done in there. Where has my time off gone?

yes you can hook them both up. From your other post it sounds like the cable you have only has 1 place to plug it the cd drive. they make a cable that has 2 plugs on the end of it 1 slave and 1 master. you may have to buy one some place like radio shack or best buy.

All kinds of things eat caterpillars. They are sort of the bunnies of the insect world. Spiders, stinkbugs, assassin bugs, wasps, birds, mice, ladybug and green lacewing larvae, and probably a whole host of other things we haven't observed yet. Yesterday, I watched a pipevine swallowtail caterpillar high tailing it down a vine. Following it was a jumping spider. I have never seen a caterpillar move so fast! The spider was safely and humanely removed to another area. Anyhow, many of us use floral picks to keep plant material fresh. You could try that. Each of us has our preferred method for raising caterpillars and there are a lot. It just takes time for you to find the method that works for you. Each year it may be different based on what you are raising, what plants you have to work with, what the weather is like, and how much time you have. Good luck, Elisabeth

Hi Joan, Yes, my package did arrive! I was so busy putting up Fall stuff that I wore myself out! I was going online later, and ended up watching the VP debate, and fell asleep! I did tape it though. ;) Your package was wonderful! I loved the baking crock/dish. Joan sent me a 'cooking' package, with the cutest dark blue winter 'snow' themed crock that can go in the oven up to 500*, plus freezer too! It came with a glass trivet, and a matching ornament! Joan also sent tomatoes, peppers! Also veggie seeds and a mini chopper, gardening mags! Oh, almost forgot- 2 plants, one Kale and one cabbage. Joan, THANKS so much for the neat box! I'm taking a break in few minutes and reading one of your magazines! This swap was so much fun! I loved my gardening/cooking package! Deb

Question about cabinets made of plywood boxes..

> "furniture board" AKA mdf MDF and furniture board are not the same thing. In cabinetry, you will find furniture board used for the carcase and MDF used for door panels. MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is a homogeneous board made from wood fibers. Furniture board is the same thing as "particle board" (known as "chipboard" outside North America), and is made from larger wood chips. Particle board comes in many grades, from outrageously shoddy through very good; quality cabinets use the very good stuff. People get way too hung up on the supposed virtues of plywood over furniture board. In reality, with appropriate construction methods and proper installation, either can be used to create cabinets that will last decades. The biggest real-world difference I can think of is weight - plywood is significantly lighter than furniture board; upper cabinets made of plywood are easier to install.

NEC definition Article 100 definitions I. General "Accessible(as applied to wiring methods). Capable of being removed or exposed without damaging the building structure or exposed without damaging the building structure or finish or not permenanently closed in by the structure or finish of the building." Above a drop ceiling is OK. Behind a panel fasted with screws for access is OK. Behind a panel nailed in place is NOT OK (pulling nails is destructive as opposed to removing screws). If you can get into the box withou causing damage you are OK. If you need to cut and make reparis after gaining access you are NOT OK. No drywall mud allowed.
