This is part two to the question that I was helped with earlier today (thanks to all who answered). Part one was: I had power in an outlet but my 240V Air conditioner would not work when plugged in. I called Con Ed who had botched up some work a few months ago, they came, they blamed it on the last crew and they fixed it. My 2nd floor A/C works but my 1st floor still does not.

I ran the A/C by extension cord to the upstairs outlet. Plugged it on, it works. So I know the A/C is not faulty.

Next I bought a multimeter and tested the outlet.
Voltage is 240 which is where it should be.
Resistance is between 4.4 - 4.3 which the manual says is ok.
Continuity is OK according to the multimeter, in other words the multimeter buzzed.
I also measured diodes not knowing what that means but it came up OK. The manual says it should be 0.5 - 0.8, mine was 0.5.

So I'm stumped! I have the right voltage and everything else looks good. And I know my A/C is ok. Why won't it work?

i went today and got a skin graft!!! ouch!!!!!!! well, not too bad i guess :)
my hubby thinks we got ripped off
(they took a teeny bit of my gum from the roof of my mouth and put it at my lower teeth's gum line.)
apparently my gums were too thin there and this needed to be done b4 i get my braces put on (i'm 21). i never heard of anyone eles having this done even though they said like 40 - 50 % of ppl (that may have meant older patients) that get braces have to have this done.
Any comments, stories of experience, ect. would be really helpful in reassuring myself and my husband that we didnt waste $760 (CND$)!! thanks

I have had depression for 6 months now and only realised how i ahve been acting 2 months ago which has made me realise that while i have been this horrible selfish and hiding in my room everyone else has been going on with their lives without me...now they are used to me not being around and i have missed so much, 4 months ago i knew i had depression and i was sure i would beat it, i exercised, ate, went to the doctor, went to a counsellor, am now on meds and still counselling, however none of it has fixed the problem as i am simply unhappy with my life, lacking friends, a boyfirend, and a job that i enjoy, all of which ihave had before, i now see no reason trying to change anything as i can see nothing is going to take back the last 6 months which has gotten me into this horrible unhappy position, i hate where i live but have been there 6 months now and still dont feel settled, to move will take another few months to feel at home...and i go to look at a house then change my mind so

Hi! I was wondering, is it safe to bake the sculpey polymer clay in a home oven? I have heard that people usually use seperate ovens for their sculpey art. Does anyone know if it make a difference if the clay was baked in a covered up casserole dish (to prevent chemical stuff from going everywhere)? =S
Thank you in advance!

I'll be attending a community college where I live here in CA next year, but I really want to go to an actual university. I would go right after my senior year is over, but I don't have the grades. So after my two years at the community college are over will I be accepted to a university such as SDSU or any of the other CSU's? How does that work anyway? Thanks for the advice =]

What does that give us? No hope basically! Yes, it says some work out, but it's likely they are trying to make us fear marriage and divorce. Everywhere I look there are people breaking up. I'm in a great marriage, but my Mom keeps on telling me that I won't love him in 5 years over and over again. My husband supports me mentally and he gives me great self esteem, something I never had before I met him. I think it's so wrong that people think that young marriage's don't last. I'm in it for the long run baby.
