Can someone explain this engine blueprint to me?
Comments (10)Rusty is real cute. He's such a comedian. But tweak him, and you'll find out what a thin skin he has. Best to just ignore him. Anyway, the 0024 Crank Extension is 1-1/8" x 3-5/32 (from the mounting datum). The 0036 Crank Extension is 1" x 3-5/32. In both cases there is a larger 1-1/4 diameter shoulder on the crankshaft approximately 3/4" before stepping down to the 1-1/8 or 1" dimension. If you order from Small Engine Suppliers be sure to tell them which crank extension you want, so you can match up properly with your existing pulleys and/or electric clutch....See MoreCan someone explain LLCs to me?
Comments (8)First, this is one of those times where a few hours with an experienced attorney or CPA can really help you. Setting up your business as an LLC is simply not enough. For the liability shield provided to be of any real use, you have to run your business as an LLC. So it is a lot more than filling out forms, you have to set up the accounts of the business and conduct business in a specific way. The very short version is that your business funds must be kept separate from your personal funds. You can't do things like make your boat payment out of your business checking account, which so many people do. Personally, I have a consulting business and it is an LLC with the S corp tax election. I highly recommend that form of business for small businesses. It avoids most of the pitfalls for setting up a corporation and most of the income distribution pitfalls of an LLC. There have been many articles written on this and it will serve you well to do some research on Google. Here is a good place to start. Edit: To briefly and roughly answer your question - There are basically 5 things that we look at when considering the advantages of business types (1) Ease and expense of formation and operation (2) Agency - who can bind the business to a contract (3) Liability - who is on the hook when things go bad (4) Taxes (5) Capital generation. Partnerships & Sole proprietors - (1)They are by far the easiest to form and operate. (2) Any partner can obligate all partners (this really doesn't matter to a sole proprietor). (3) They have unlimited liability, you are personally responsible for all business obligations. (4) They have lower taxes as all the income of the business flows through to the owner and is taxed at his normal rate (there is only one tax paying entity). (5) It is pretty hard to generate paid in capital so big projects mean loans. Corporations (not S corp). - (1) More expensive to form and harder to operate (2) Officers of the corporation can bind corporation (3) Liability is limited to investment (4) Two taxpaying entities - the corporation is taxed and the owners are taxed when they get money (5) Easy to generate capital - you just issue more stocks. Limited Liability Company - (1) cheaper to form than corporation, more than partnership - cheaper to operate (2) Members (partners) can bind the company (3) Liability is limited to investment (4) Basically the same as a partnership (the IRS doesn't have an LLC tax status so LLC's pick how they want to be taxed). (5) Allowing new members is harder than corporation but easier than partnership. S - Corp (for taxes) - Mostly the same as a corporation within certain size and revenue limits but enjoys the flow through taxation of a partnership....See MoreCan someone explain "modern farmhouse" to me?
Comments (25)It definitely seems heavy on the black and white and greys color scheme, which is fairly neutral and somewhat easy to pull off as far as then blending your furniture into that. I have a lot of white ware, cream ware and depression glass stuff, which is very adaptable to a lot of situations. A few choice show pieces with color and texture because that is all you can afford. As for using old junk as furniture and ornaments, that was "in" during the 90's too. So Gaines style to me is just a black and white version of shabby chic with industrial touches thrown in. Not my style, but I can see how some people might find it restful. Some of her stuff is great but some of it makes me shudder as far as being practical. I don't mind words as art if it is poetry, inspirational quotes, or great calligraphy or even an old advertising poster. But random huge words just to take up space, not so much. But then I love art too much and have too many bookshelves, so I am never at a loss for what to put on a wall! So I too, have a hard time understanding what people want. Do you want a cool color scheme emphasizing black, grey and white? Do you want a mix of industrial and shabby chic reclaimed pieces or the look of that, maybe mixed in with some more traditional pieces to give an eclectic look? Plain Jane background with texture in your art and furniture and accessories?...See MoreCan someone explain this to me?
Comments (16)Elmer, Normally I would never set anything (I haven't yet paid for) in my reusable bag. I wasn't at all worried about placing the bras on the glass jewelry counter because they were undergarments, but because there were customers perusing the items under the glass top, so I didn't want to obscure their view. However no good deed goes unpunished as they say, since I then completely forgot about putting them in my bag! So I agree with your advice to take the time for a thoughtful decision, to avoid such a happening. When one does something they'd never normally do, it can lead to forgetting what they did, precisely because it was not something they would normally do! maddielee, you're right, there are those black globe ceiling cameras all over, in this store, and they could easily have seen me drop the bras into my bag, as I didn't do it inconspicuously. The sales lady handed me the little box to view the earrings, when I still had the 3 bras in my hand. So I said "Oh hang on, I'll just put them in here while I look at these" and slid my bag off my shoulder and dropped them into it right in front of her. Then I hung it from my arm, instead of putting it back over my shoulder. She didn't say 'Oh it's ok, I'll put them behind the counter while you look' so it didn't seem like she was at all suspicious that I'd try to sneak out without paying for them. Maybe because I had the bras in my hand the whole time I looked at the jewelry and even until she gave me the earrings to view, she just assumed if I was going to steal them, I would have sneaked them into my bag earlier, rather than put them in it right in front of her. Only question I still have, is If the security cameras saw me put the bras in my bag, why didn't they have their security person stop me from leaving? And since the cashier at the checkout had to demagnetize them when she scanned them, I still have no idea why their exit sensors never went off when I walked right through them the first time. Unless the door employee was telling the truth after all, lol!...See More

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoThere is a setting that puts the unit basically back to factory. You can put in a set of dates and when guest turn it on they log in with their credentials on whatever channels they have an account. When the date range expires it logs all out.
As the owner of that roku and the airbnb space, I can’t log in remotely until after the departure date. Now if I enter the actual space I could override it with some work as I recall, but that wouldn’t let me get into their accounts,just mineseagrass_gw Cape Cod thanked Annette Holbrook(z7a)- 4 years ago
