For my US friends - apparently Office Max is selling Sharpies for 1 cent each till August 8th. Max of 3 per person. -- nm - Andie Aug 5, 10:30 5

- i have a private-label version of the loose powder. it's pretty good. do you have loose or the compact? -- nm - b. Aug 5, 10:35 9
  - brands? links? - 'lia Aug 5, 10:38 2
    - Make Up Forever (MUFE) HD powder. sephora doesn't like me to link it today, but they have it. - loosilu Aug 5, 10:39 1
      - oh, and it has kept my makeup from melting in DC July-August humidity. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 10:41
  - loose. I've had several spontaneous compliments on my skin (including from a facialist). Yeah, I know about the silica. - loosilu Aug 5, 10:38 5
    - i've played around some with their things at sephora. - b. Aug 5, 10:42 2
      - I have their concealer and like it a lot. havent tried the foundations. - loosilu Aug 5, 10:47 1
        
        the concealer pallette or another form? i've had the pallette in my hand a few times, but haven't jumped. -- nm - b. Aug 5, 10:57
    - where'd you get it? - 'lia Aug 5, 10:39 1
      - yep. go there, try it on the back of one of your hands, and compare. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 10:40
STIS: I've misplaced the power cable for my DVD-R. It's pretty easy for me to just go out and buy a new one at Radio Shack or somewhere, right? - con_carne Aug 5, 10:29 1
- Now you have to go looking for store signs that say The Shack. - HdnAgnda Aug 5, 10:34

help, please: is there an easy way to convert a list of e-mail addresses in excel to just names? - b. Aug 5, 10:28 24
- Are they hyperlinked (i.e. blue and underlined?) Un-hyperlink them first (that is, turn them to text) by... - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 5, 10:41 3
  - oh, duh. i did that for my first attempts, but then went back to the original. that may be why some other things didn't work. ok! off i go. -- nm - b. Aug 5, 10:44
  - copy range, paste special, text only. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 10:42 1
    - (into a new column) -- nm - TFox Aug 5, 10:43
- you can also replace @company.com by nothing. -- nm - marcel Aug 5, 10:36 1
  - i tried that first, but it didn't like it either. (of course, i likely did it wrong, though.)-- nm - b. Aug 5, 10:38
- Do you need first and last name in separate columns? - decline Aug 5, 10:36
- Is "company.com" the same for *all* addresses? (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 10:35 3
  - yes. -- nm - b. Aug 5, 10:37 2
    - Actually, I just figured a way, where it doesn't matter. - musubi Aug 5, 10:43 1
      - You could combine the formulas into one cell. Of course, Enders Data to text is probably simpler. (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 10:46
- You might try "Data->Text To Columns" and then split on the "." and repeat for the "@". -- nm - Ender Aug 5, 10:35 8
  - Yeah, this is how you do it. First use "@" as the delimiter and that will get you a column with "first.last". - Ender Aug 5, 10:38 7
    - it worked! *mwah* thanks so much! (and everyone else, too!) -- nm - b. Aug 5, 10:51 2
      - Nice. I was just about to suggest pasting the list into Word, where you can do Replace characters to tabs, and change the casings to Title Case for - con_carne Aug 5, 10:53 1
        
        i had tried word, which i'm more comfy with, first. - b. Aug 5, 10:59
    - (assuming every e-mail is in that format. the "@" part will totally work.) -- nm - TFox Aug 5, 10:39
    - ok, let me try! (thanks!) -- nm - b. Aug 5, 10:38 2
      - good plan. if you need to recombine then do =a1&" "&b1 -- nm - zork Aug 5, 10:40 1
        
        i had planned on giving you a formula that would do everything in one step and be portable from one file to another but this should be easy enough. -- nm - zork Aug 5, 10:41
- yes. give me a few minutes and I can provide this for you -- nm - zork Aug 5, 10:34
- There must be a formula for this. Hmmm. -- nm - con_carne Aug 5, 10:32
- assuming all different lengths of character strings, not especially. -- nm - TFox Aug 5, 10:31
- "Excel" and "easy" do not belong in the same sentence. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 10:30
So that quarantine around the Chinese city with pneumonic plague? Probably not going to work. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Aug 5, 10:25 5
- so that's what they are calling the Zombie Outbreak eh? -- nm - Remlik Aug 5, 10:31 2
  - Welcome to the joke. - three days later Aug 5, 10:32 1
    - It only counts when I make it. -- nm - Remlik Aug 5, 10:47

- All the plans seem to be tinkering around the edges. When all is said and done, healthcare reform will be a burning issue during the next Presidential - Loyola Aug 5, 10:20 35
  - Your IM is great in theory - ty97 Aug 5, 10:22 32
    - He's got the majorities on the Hill, what does it matter. - Loyola Aug 5, 10:25 31
      - Not to mention that most people *with* insurance, like their current plan. - musubi Aug 5, 10:29
      - There aren't enough Democrats of one mind to get that done. - CovingtonCat Aug 5, 10:27 3
        
        And they're hampered by the fact that in large part they got that majority by running centrist candidates. - Ender Aug 5, 10:29 1
        
        What's being proposed is hardly hard left. Heck, even the Economist endorses a healthcare system based around public funding. -- nm - Roger More Aug 5, 10:45
        
        no, no, us liberals all share the same mother brain -- nm - Guy Aug 5, 10:28
      - That's cute how you act like Democrats vote in unison. Herding cats is a more straightforward process than getting all Dems in line. (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 10:26 7
        
        Parties in Europe actually have "party whips", if you don't tow the line, good luck to you, you're gone. -- nm - Loyola Aug 5, 10:28 6
        
        Both parties in Congress have Whips too. -- nm - Ender Aug 5, 10:32
        
        I appreciate the fact that elected officials are willing to go against party lines. - musubi Aug 5, 10:30 4
        
        That's why there's so many parties to choose from. If your local guy has potatoes growing from his ears and can't string two words together, you're - Loyola Aug 5, 10:33 3
        
        Unfortunately, we effectively only have two parties. (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 10:47 2
        
        yup, the party that is in power and the party that isn't. -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 10:54
        
        For now. We'll see how long that lasts. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 5, 10:49
      - They still have to get reelected. Mobs with torches and pitchforks at all of your meetings in your home distritct isn't conducive to that. -- nm - Ender Aug 5, 10:26 1
        
        and Dick Armey will see to making sure that they're there. -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 10:27
      - except this goes beyond partisanship and whatnot. a sizeable portionof democratic reps are just as much in the pockets of special interests - znufrii Aug 5, 10:26 14
        
        Yeah I was thinking something along the lines of that the other day. Campaign finance reform, lobbying, etc. that's really the one to fix. It's at the - Loyola Aug 5, 10:30 13
        
        I favor a wholesale restructuring of the representative system. -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 10:36 12

        I'd have to get a surgically enlarged bladder -- nm - Roger More Aug 5, 10:45

        mention of 'opera' - a sip. attention seeking post (eg home runs are boring) - a sip. dawson bait - chug -- nm - Roger More Aug 5, 10:46 2

        actually stretch opera to any mention of 'live theatre'. -- nm - Roger More Aug 5, 10:47
        
        Wait, how do we drink an article of clothing. -- nm - Ender Aug 5, 10:44 2

  - [deleted]
- I also love how they want to introduce legislation to keep the government out of medical decisions that should be betwee a patient and his or her doc - znufrii Aug 5, 10:17 7
  - never, because then watch costs go really insane. -- nm - TFox Aug 5, 10:27

    - that too. -- nm - znufrii Aug 5, 10:22 1

      - Oh right. We can save on doctor's visits by having Bill Frist diagnose everyone by videotape. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 10:23
the sight of Piven's co-star hugging and almost stroking Cena not to get a beating still makes me laugh. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 5, 10:08 2
- I just hope Jack Swagger doesn't get blamed for them dropping him on his head. - Will Hunting Aug 5, 10:13 1
  - yeah Carlito has burned all his chances I suspect. Plus he's a whiner. -- nm - Remlik Aug 5, 10:31
Do you ever feel sexy and confident on days where you have no business feeling sexy and confident, but damn the torpedoes anyway? -- nm - Diva Aug 5, 10:08 6
- this is one of those weeks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 10:23
- *waits anxiously for new t-shirt, then smells what the Diva is cooking* -- nm - TFox Aug 5, 10:18 1
