Question about parlimentary procudure

It depends on the bylaws, but chances are Robert's Rules of Order are in use. It has been a long while, but I am pretty certain a recess can be called while other motions are on the floor; however, the chair can not just call a recess. According to the chart linked to below, the person with...

Can you use old boxes to ship stuff?

McMaster-Carr P/N 1996T14 Scroll down to the bottom of the page. As far as I know, you just want to be sure to cover or remove any old shipping labels (UPS bar codes, etc.). Company logos and such should not matter.

Can free weights alone give a "full" workout?

It will be tough to get a good leg workout. I suppose it is possible to squats with dumbbells, but you will probably need more than 30 lb.

First time landlord questions

If possible, you might consider renovating to make an "in-law" apartment. My basement was set up this way with its own kitchenette, bath, 2 bedrooms, living room, and separate entrance. In my area a connecting interior door to the rest of the house is required, but it can just be dead bolted...

Can you straight wire a DC cord into fuse box?

It sounds like you ran both wires to the fuse holder, this will not make a complete circuit. For most cars, you need to put the Positive (+) wire to the fuse holder and the Negative (-) to ground. Ground is usually to the chasis, look for a bare metal surface that connects to the frame/body...

Do any of you have any experience with Ouija Boards?

If anyone can demonstrate that it works under controlled conditions (agreed to beforehand by both parties) the James Randi Educational Foundation will award them $1,000,000.00. These things are a crock; I cannot believe that so many supposedly educated people could think otherwise.

Accounting Question: ANY public companies with NO Bad Debts Expense?

I still think the trick is to look for companies with no revenue from sales, and thus, no receivables to turn into bad debt expense. It is hard to believe, but there are companies, mostly start-ups, that have yet to sell anything (see FVRL from my previous post). I would wager that even...

Accounting Question: ANY public companies with NO Bad Debts Expense?

Try Favrille, listed as FVRL (click for MSN Money summery). They are a bio-med company that is in the research phase; the best I can tell, they only raise money and spend it on research. They have not had any revenue from sales since they started back in 2000. No sales = no receivables = no...

Dryer is drying clothes less and less

In addition to cleaning out the vent tube you might want to clean the lint out of the dryer. If too much lint builds up in the internal duct work/blower it can over-heat and blow the thermal-link, which will shut off the heat and keep the heater from turning on. On my gas Kenmore dryer I...

Also check the pulleys that the counter-balance cables run through. The bearings went in mine and caused problems similar to what you described. Replacements should only be a few bucks at the hardware store or your favorite ubiquitous orange home center. Good Luck,

Martial Arts Question

Kempo (or Kenpo) sounds like a good match for you. Lots of hitting (punches and kicks), most of the grappling focuses on escapes (how to get out of headlocks, grabs, etc.), and the combinations and take-downs are effective (and fun). Sparring will probably be light and for points, but not...

Definitely check the fuses first. It will only take two minutes or so to check, and replacements would cost a few bucks. The fuse panel is usually located behind a cover on the driver?s side of the dash, look in your owner?s manual if you can?t find it. The owner?s manual should also show...

I am pretty sure GM has to pay 95% of a laid off UAW worker's pay for three years in supplimental unemployment benifits (less the amount the state pays). There would not be much immediate cost savings other than overtime pay.
