I cannot find an on/off switch. Where is it? The only way to turn it off currently is to unplug it. the temperature control doesn't turn it off. | there is no off switch. to turn machine off you have to unplug it. I have been doing this all along, no big deal :) |
I cannot find an on/off switch. Where is it? The only way to turn it off currently is to unplug it. the temperature control doesn't turn it off. | You are correct. There is no ON/OFF switch. This unit pairs nicely with a cheap plug-in timer from a hardware store (under $10). Then you can set the length of time you want it to run, and the timer will switch it off. |

How tall is the front of the drinking plate? | It's not too low, maybe an inch or so tall.. perfect for small cats or dogs. |
Will this phone work on Verizon ? [email protected] | Yes it will. I still own one, it is my second, and I use it on Verizon everyday. |
Are the sesame seeds used raw or roasted? | jar says 'roasted, stone ground" and is good source of Calcium, Iron, GF, DF, no Cholesteraol, nor GMOs...good added to salad dressing, also! |
What size mattress depth does this twin size Serta 233 thread count waterproof low voltage electric mattress pad fit on. My mattress is 12.5 inches in depth. Will it fit that size of a mattress? | I have a very large, deep , new mattress and this fits with plenty of room. Sorry, do not have a ruler handy. |
Does this curler fit for use in a country that a normal household electricity is at 220V? | I don't think it would work without a converter. I have 110V electricity and it works well here. |
Since it takes more than twice as long as white rice to cook, how much water should I use when I make it in my (cheap) rice cooker? | I follow the instructions on the label. 1-3/4 water. I actually use chicken broth. Add 1 cup rice and 2 tablespoons pure olive oil or 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. I always use the brown rice setting and it's perfect every time in my inexpensive rice cooker. |
Since it takes more than twice as long as white rice to cook, how much water should I use when I make it in my (cheap) rice cooker? | the bag provides explicit instructions but it is approximately two parts water to one part rice. i own many Lundberg rice blends and each one is a little different but i think they are great. |
Since it takes more than twice as long as white rice to cook, how much water should I use when I make it in my (cheap) rice cooker? | It's still a two-to-one ratio. The package actually says to use less water, but I find that the rice comes out too tough/undercooked if I don't use a two-to-one ratio. So, basically, cook it the same way you would cook white rice. |
Since it takes more than twice as long as white rice to cook, how much water should I use when I make it in my (cheap) rice cooker? | I am not the one to ask - I botched the cooking of it and gave it away...sorry |
Since it takes more than twice as long as white rice to cook, how much water should I use when I make it in my (cheap) rice cooker? | I've never used a rice cooker, but I use about 2-2 1/2 cups water for every cup of brown rice for cooking it on the stove top. Maybe you can convert this to what you need for your rice cooker. |
Since it takes more than twice as long as white rice to cook, how much water should I use when I make it in my (cheap) rice cooker? | I do use a rice cooker. You can use the exact amount suggested by instructions, but I find I like just a little more water a couple of tablespoons toa 1/4 cup more. I also either add some olive oil to the water or lightly grease the bottom with solid Crisco to help prevent sticking. |
Since it takes more than twice as long as white rice to cook, how much water should I use when I make it in my (cheap) rice cooker? | I cook it in my rice cooker all the time. I use the same amount of water as for white rice. I like it a bit chewy. You might add an extra Tablespoon or two of water if you like it softer. |
How much bulk does this case add? | I think for how safe I feel my phone is, it's great it's not a huge case not anywhere close to the bulk an otterbox would add. I wear tight jeans and it fits in my back pocket just fine. |
How much bulk does this case add? | With case phone is about 1/2 thick compared to the 0.35 depth without the case . It really doesnt add as much bulk as I have seen with some of the iPhone cases. They do sell a feather version which I belive is even thinner, just doesnt have the silixone bumper layer. |
What size ID tubing does this particular pump accept? | What a wonderful quiet, effective workhorse. I have a 48 by 12 by 20 high saltwater tank. The live rock stands up in the center for 4 feet. No refugiumThis is the only pump for the water flow and the in-tank gravity fed filter. It just "keeps on ticking," and quietly, never a problem. I have soft coral, hard coral, purple live rocks, yellow coral, crazy fish, and it is all fed by this one pump. I in my 14th year of salt. I change a fabric filter daily. I replace 10 gallons of saltwater monthly. I keep is SIMPLE. The pump is the heart. |
What size ID tubing does this particular pump accept? | 3/4 inch. It helps to soften the tubing in hot water before you put it on the first time. |
Why do the pics looks fuzzy? Does anyone know how to remedy this? | If you are in continuous focus mode, try changing to single shot focus - check your manual. Continous focus will let you take a picture even if the camera has not had time to properly focus. Single shot focus will only take a pic if it is in focus. Make sure the O.I.S. is in "mode 2." Set the focus mode to center only. It could be that another sensor is doing the focusing and it is not in the center. Press the shutter slowly - don't jab at it. Check that you are not in "macro" mode and trying to do a really close focus on something with the zoom all the way extended. Wait for the center "square" to turn green before pressing the shutter button all the way down. Maybe try a tripod or lean against something as a brace. Change to a higher ISO if the subject is likely to move or is moving - or - use the "intelligent ISO" mode. Try "sports" mode for a somewhat faster shutter spead. If none of these things works individually or in combination, you may have a defective camera - call a Panasonic repair facility. Good luck. |
Can this frame be used for both horizontal and vertical photos? I don't see that info in the description. TIA! | Yes though the way the decorative element swoops down into the space where you will place the photo can get in the way depending on what photo you are using (like it could cut into someone's head in the photo). Guess you need to think about what photo you are going to use in relation to that. |
Can this frame be used for both horizontal and vertical photos? I don't see that info in the description. TIA! | Hi Ellen , yes this frame goes either way & is beautiful. Looks much more expensive than it is! |
Some remarks about this modem being old, but it's what Time Warner provided. I really wouldn't know what to pick instead. Landline not attached. | If you need a cable modem for TWC, this one will work with their tiers up to 38Mbps in speed. If you wanted a slightly newer modem you could opt for a Motorola SB5101. |
Some remarks about this modem being old, but it's what Time Warner provided. I really wouldn't know what to pick instead. Landline not attached. | I have comcast and this modem works fine for me.....but they keep asking me to change it and purchase the newer model which can accept higher speeds. Unless you are paying for a top internet speed from your provider you don't need the upgrade to this modem. This is a DOCSIS 2.0 modem and the newer one is the DOCSIS 3.0 modem....with a higher price. I guess this item is the "older" one but it works well with many providers (I've been told) and it's definately easy to set up. I'd check out both modems and see if the upgrade is something you want or need. |
Some remarks about this modem being old, but it's what Time Warner provided. I really wouldn't know what to pick instead. Landline not attached. | If you need the landline port in the back for your landline, then this unit will not serve your purposes, if you have an Ooma device, or a Basic Talk device, or a Magic Jack, or some other device to extract voice from the modem, it should be just fine. But if you are getting your voice directly from the modem, then you will need the phone port in the back of the modem. The model DCM 424 has the port in the back of it and sells for somewhere around $35.00. I'm with Time Warner and that is the model I have and it works very well. But check with your provider and see what units are compatible with their system. If you are comfortable on the computer, you can go to their website and find that out. But again, if you do not have some other phone device that will connect to the modem to get voice, then do not buy this unit, because you will need one with a phone port on the back of it. |
Some remarks about this modem being old, but it's what Time Warner provided. I really wouldn't know what to pick instead. Landline not attached. | i don't know if this is old or not...mediacom issues the same one. it works great and was easy to set up. mediacom detected it right away. i rebooted the system and was off and running. time warner may have a list of acceptable modems on their website. mediacom has a list on theirs, but i don't know much about this stuff, so i called the tech department. in the end, i just ordered this one which is the exact one i already had from the company. |
Does it have any Microsoft applications? | I am not sure...If you are referring to the Microsoft Programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. I had to buy those program licenses independently and install on the computer. |
Does it have any Microsoft applications? | Hi Sandy, My Acer came preloaded with a trial of Office. Once the trial is up you can purchase the full version. Is there a Microsoft application in particular that you are looking for? Let me know, I can check to see if it came on mine. I have been super happy with my Acer. It gets heavy use as my "office." |

How thick is the cord? I need to know how big of a glass drill bit I need. | I used a 1/4 in glass drill bit. It takes a while and I suggest using plenty of water or soap while drilling but it turns out really nice. |
How thick is the cord? I need to know how big of a glass drill bit I need. | It's a regular cord. I used a half inch diamond drill bit-- goes much faster than that spade bits. You must use water or oil to keep the bit from over- heating. I also used a half inch grommet to protect the cord from the glass hole. Good luck Tom! |
How thick is the cord? I need to know how big of a glass drill bit I need. | Same size as any common house hold lamp, I recommend using a dremel with a thick diamond bit or you're gunna crack the bottle |
How thick is the cord? I need to know how big of a glass drill bit I need. | I drilled a 1/4" hole so it would not scrape the cord to much but you can get away with a 3/16" hole. |
How thick is the cord? I need to know how big of a glass drill bit I need. | It's basically your average extension cord or lamp cord. My husband put mine togther with the cord coming out the bottom side of the light socket (as opposed to directly out the bottom) so I did not even need to drill at all. |

Will the top fit on a standard Mason jar? | Petet,I don't think so, but it wouldn't matter if it would fit a Mason jar or not, it would still LEAK. The weak link of the entire system is the TOP. |

Hi, I'm buying this as a gift for my boyfriend. He's 6'3, 185lbs. Muscular but lean... what would be a good size? | If it's a normal fit and not compression I'd go with XXL. It also depends if he likes his shirts tight fitting. See I do not. |
Hi, I'm buying this as a gift for my boyfriend. He's 6'3, 185lbs. Muscular but lean... what would be a good size? | Go with the xl, mine wears a large usually but really liked the fit of the xl |
Hi, I'm buying this as a gift for my boyfriend. He's 6'3, 185lbs. Muscular but lean... what would be a good size? | The guy I bought one for is 6'0", 163 muscular lean but he said the X-large fit just right, so a size XXL might be good. |
We have problems with our windows sweating and icing up in the winter because our house is "too tight." Will this thing help? | I'm not sure if it would.. it does do a very good job of taking air out of an area, but as far as using as a dehumidifier it is useless. It worked ok in the dead of winter but as soon as thaw came I had to go purchase another traditional style dehumidifier, as this did nothing... was up to 95% humidity in basement. |
This looks similar to Bosch 12V Li-Ion battery. Are they interchangeable? | Sorry, but I don't have any Bosch tools, so I wouldn't know. However, I am pretty sure each manufacturer makes the charger and tool so that only their battery will fit/work. Maybe if Bosch is the parent company... I found the battery I thought I'd lost and will look at the packaging to see if it includes information about which brands it's compatible with, if any. Can't do this for a day or so because I just don't have the time right now. (I'm thinking of chain saw blades that list which saws they work with.) |
This looks similar to Bosch 12V Li-Ion battery. Are they interchangeable? | They look very similar, but I can not confirm. You may want to try an aftermarket battery seller. |
This looks similar to Bosch 12V Li-Ion battery. Are they interchangeable? | Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Bosch 12V Li-Ion battery. Have you tried Batteries Plus?

Would this happen to be legal in NJ, USA? | It should be, have a look at http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/laws/tire-chains/ When using tire chains, be sure that the conditions require them. Don't drive around with tire chains on if the roads are bare and you probably shouldn't be on the interstate with them. Only use them in the most demanding conditions. |
What shoe size would a mediUm and large be | I wear a size 14 shoe and I wear the XL size in these socks. They fit my foot perfect. I would say 6-10 = M; 10-13 = L; 14+ = XL |
Will this fit an HP touchsmart 14.0 inch 14z-f000 Sleekbook? | i would check what other sizes they have, it fits my computer, but it is an HP pavillion g series that is 17.5 inches. but i think i did see that they had other options, search the computer type when you put it in the search bar |
Will this fit an HP touchsmart 14.0 inch 14z-f000 Sleekbook? | It will fit a note book but I have a desk top and it did not fit my key board |
I'm looking for a running shoe that will be lowcut and not show above sneaker. will this do the trick? | I think they are just at the level of my crossfit shoes. They don't stick up or look weird, but they are not so low that you look like you don't have socks on at all. these are my favorite socks. |

Will this measure to any object? I am looking to use this for long range rifle shooting. | it will measure to anything you can put the laser on, but if you are looking beyond 500 yards there are specific rangefinders for firearms. |
Will this measure to any object? I am looking to use this for long range rifle shooting. | Definitely would work for that. You get the distant to a rock, tree or sand bunker. Just do not know how much distance you would require. Range finder has a maximum yardage range. |
Will this measure to any object? I am looking to use this for long range rifle shooting. | Yes.. I use it for trees and other areas on the course. It doesn't work in fog... |
I've had mine airing outside for a week due to strong chemical odor - anyone else experience this? Would not let cats near it unless it clears up. | I recently purchased one of these and also experienced a strong chemical odor after unwrapping the plastic covering. I 'aired' it out for two weeks in a spare room before allowing my cats to use it. They have a choice of using the 'old' scratching post or this new SmartCat post; they really like the new one! Although I found the sticker on the bottom of the product that states that the amount of formaldehyde used in the product is within guidelines, I was concerned with the lingering odor. (I've tried to reduce or eliminate 'chemical-based' products from my home; animals are especially sensitive to pollutants.) I contacted the company and was told that if I was still unhappy with the product that they would replace it immediately. The 'customer service' was great and my questions were answered satisfactorily. It seems that the factory where this scratching post is manufactured is supposed to wait a specific amount of time before packaging, in order to allow lingering odors to dissipate; apparently, that wasn't done in this case. I like that the scratching post is centered on the base, and that the base isn't covered with carpeting. It was easy to assemble and seems to be very sturdy. |
I've had mine airing outside for a week due to strong chemical odor - anyone else experience this? Would not let cats near it unless it clears up. | I don't remember if I noticed anything when I got it, but probably not. I just got up close to mine to see if there's any odor now, but all I smell is the sisal. How annoying for you! |
I've had mine airing outside for a week due to strong chemical odor - anyone else experience this? Would not let cats near it unless it clears up. | Mine (I bought 2) did "smell new". But the odor went away in a day or so. . . |
I've had mine airing outside for a week due to strong chemical odor - anyone else experience this? Would not let cats near it unless it clears up. | Slight wood finish or plastic odour when opened the box, but couldn't smell anything after a couple of days (never took it outside). Cats didn't mind, especially after I rubbed catnip into the sides--it was like they read the manual of what to do with this thing :) |
I've had mine airing outside for a week due to strong chemical odor - anyone else experience this? Would not let cats near it unless it clears up. | I didn't notice that myself - there was a slight odor (newness) at first that I didn't notice after the first day- but I have a heavy duty air cleaner on at all times because of my allergies so not sure if that helped. |
I've had mine airing outside for a week due to strong chemical odor - anyone else experience this? Would not let cats near it unless it clears up. | I bought mine years ago but do not recall any offensive odor, my cat was interested in it before I even put it together. Perhaps contacting the manufacturer and asking if they might know what the cause of the odor is would help. |
I've had mine airing outside for a week due to strong chemical odor - anyone else experience this? Would not let cats near it unless it clears up. | I ordered two posts and neither had a discernible smell other than a slight "newness" odor that went away quickly. I've had chronic problems with both my cats regarding where they scratch, but they use this post without hesitation. I highly recommend it. |
My son wants poly covered strings? Are these considered poly covered as I don't see anything about that | Hey there, nope these are uncoated strings. Your son may be looking for Elixir polywebs |
My son wants poly covered strings? Are these considered poly covered as I don't see anything about that | do not believe these are poly covered. a good brand for poly covered would be Elixir as they carry a variety of them. |
My son wants poly covered strings? Are these considered poly covered as I don't see anything about that | I don't know anything about 'poly covered strings for an 'Electric Guitar. These are not for an acoustic guitar. I get these for my son. He's a lead guitar player in a 'Rock Band. He told me that he won't use any strings EXCEPT these. |
My old Airdyne seems really loud after a long period of not using it. Could it be that the chain needs oiling? How do I do this? | Put some heavy weight household oil on it. Nothing fancy like Teflon oil since the bike isn't going out in the rain. Put a big throw rug under the bike in case it throws some oil droplets when you use it. |
My old Airdyne seems really loud after a long period of not using it. Could it be that the chain needs oiling? How do I do this? | Mine doesn't do that, and I'm not a mechanic. Lubrication sounds reasonable, but I don't know. Sorry. |
My old Airdyne seems really loud after a long period of not using it. Could it be that the chain needs oiling? How do I do this? | I have a airdyne I purchased in 1992. It is also loud when pedaling ,I have 38,000 miles on it and have replaced several wedge pins and crank brackets over the years. I completely disassembled it and lubricated and adjusted everything. the bottom bracket is good. It was quieter for several days and is getting louder each ride! I'm at a loss how to quiet it down.I just shut my door and crank up my headphones. |
My old Airdyne seems really loud after a long period of not using it. Could it be that the chain needs oiling? How do I do this? | Sorry I don't know but sure don't see the harm in it. Mine is just over 2 years and use it often. |
Does it come with ideas on how to set it up? And can it use regular marbles or just the ones provided? | The ones provided are not weirdly small. They are a common marble on the smaller side, if that makes sense. It comes with about 14 marbles, I think. It does not layout different track styles in a booklet. You don't really need one, the possibilities are endless. I promise you will be fine. I think you should buy the one box but know that it is way cooler with two. So if you see the love for it get ready to buy another box! We still love this toy. |
Does it come with ideas on how to set it up? And can it use regular marbles or just the ones provided? | There are not alternate set up ideas provided, but the set is easy to set up in many way. I bought it for my three year old grandson and he could easily put it together in many shapes with a little help. You can use other marbles, but they need to be the slightly smaller one. It also works best if all the marbles you run at one time are the same type or weight. This is really the best marble run toy. |
Does it come with ideas on how to set it up? And can it use regular marbles or just the ones provided? | No, and I am not pleased by the no directions. The original had a bunch of different ways to set up but I ended up taking a picture of the set up I have and use it all of the time. You need to buy small marbles at toys r us, they have to be on the small side. |
Does it come with ideas on how to set it up? And can it use regular marbles or just the ones provided? | Yes! There are some ideas of how to build it and any marble works fine with it. If your kids are anything like mine, you'll need to replace lost marbles eventually. :) This is a fabulous set. My siblings and I played with Marbleworks for hours as kids and now we are buying additional sets for our kids. Enjoy! |
Does it come with ideas on how to set it up? And can it use regular marbles or just the ones provided? | It does not come with ideas on how to set up beyond what's on the packaging box. However, it is pretty easy to set up once you get the hang of it and there's enough pieces to make different configurations each time so it's always interesting to kids. It does use regular marbles so easy to replace if you lose one. Also, you didn't ask but the pieces are a lot sturdier than other brands. This should last you a long time. I hope this helps. |
What are the full dimensions? 3 x 2 x 2? | I can give you the dimensions of the pan it fits in. My wife uses a 3 1/2" long x 2 1/4" wide x 1 1/4" deep pan and also mentioned that you can find the filters at Jo Ann's or Michael's |
What are the full dimensions? 3 x 2 x 2? | I no longer have any to take measurements. You may be able to find info on wilton.com. I've also seen them sold in stores such as JoAnn's, Michael's etc. |
I see the battery pack in on the rear wheel. Is there any way to put a rack on top of it? I need to be able to carry packages. Also, is it easy to fold/unfold? Is it easy to carry or wheel? | The battery pack itself can support up to six pounds safely. beyond that, you may be able to attach a rear rack directly to the frame. The bike is pretty easy to fold and unfold. The handlebar lock is a little tricky to figure out. Once you figure it out, it holds together well. The big is easy to wheel, as it isn't super heavy. It does need both hands to lift, but the U-shaped crosspiece in front of the seat makes a handy second handhold for lifting onto/off trains. |
Would this help my lag situation with my ps3? I use a router and everyone in the house uses the wifi all day long. Hard time gaming without lag. | Yes.. I use this for my ps3 for the same reason you should get one. Having your ps3 plugged in ..is always faster then WiFi. You will not get more speed then you are paying for. You will get faster Internet. Because your ps3 is plugged in. |
Is there a pull out shelf under the center of the desk for a computer keyboard? | Hello. Yes there is a pull out keyboard shelf. You can see it in the picture. It can be attached on the right side of the desk, or the left side, or diagonally in the "corner" where both sides meet. |
Is there a pull out shelf under the center of the desk for a computer keyboard? | Yes there is. It can come off track easily if you are too rough with it. But all in all we couldn't be happier with our desk. |
Is there a pull out shelf under the center of the desk for a computer keyboard? | Yes, there is a pull-out shelf, which can be mounted under either side of the L. On the photo, it's barely visible but is shown on the portion of the desk with the hutch above it. |
Is there a pull out shelf under the center of the desk for a computer keyboard? | It's not under the corner if that's what you are asking. It's under one of the sides. |
Do they fit men as well as women? | I would think if you order the correct size for the person it would fit like any other gloves on a man just as easily as a woman. |
Do they fit men as well as women? | They do fit both men and women. If you have long fingers however they will fit a little shorter on you. |
Do they fit men as well as women? | Yes, but you may want to order a size up from what you normally would wear, these are pretty "petit" the way they fit |
Do they fit men as well as women? | The gloves are unisex. Unless you have unusually large hands I think a size medium would fit well. |
Do they fit men as well as women? | The gloves come in sizes. If you order the correct size for your hands, it won't matter if you are a man or a woman. |
Do they fit men as well as women? | I am certain they would. The important thing would be measuring your hand as they recommend. |
Do they fit men as well as women? | Yes, they stretch to fit. I even wear the left glove on my right hand sometimes. |
I purchased this lens and being new to macro photography I'm confused on how to set the lens to 1:1.

Macro capability means that you can move the lends in close enough so that the captured image is the same size as the object being photographed. Non-macro lenses do not allow you to get in that close and still be able to focus on the object. |

If so, what would that distance be? « Show Less | There is no setting on the lens or camera to make it 1:1. At the closest distance, I think the magnification is even larger than 1:1. If you really want 1:1 magnification, you can figure it out by taking a photo of a tape measure and compare with the picture on the sensor (scaled to the LCD monitor). If you want, you can take a look at my Facebook page: peter mioduszewski....The sensor of mft is 18 mm x 13.5 mm, if you take the picture of a 10 mm object (tape measure), it has to be 10 mm on the sensor. That is 1:1 in the strict sense. If you want 1:1, the object can not be bigger than the sensor. There is no setting on the lens or camera to make it 1:1.

If so, what would that distance be? « Show Less | There is a sliding button on the barrel of the lens that switches the lens from normal to macro. Switched to Full allows the lens to do macro photography or 1:1 which means macro. The focal length at this setting is 6 inches to 1.6 ft. I normally do not change the switch from Full as this is an excellent lens and produces the best fine art images at that setting.

The female end of this product is 3/4" fine thread and the male is 3/4" coarse, correct? | Yes. Female machine threads mate with the outside faucet and standard male hose threads do their thing. |
I bought this, I'm trying to use it with my 50mm or 85mm, but I can't get it to focus, tried it in Manual focus, still wont work. | The tube makes your depth of field incredibly pronounce. You might want to remove all but the smallest ring. The actual focal length of your lens is fairly close to the actually lens. If you hold an object very close to the lens, you will be able to get the object in focus. For instance, lie the camera down in some grass. It makes the DOF so shallow, that only one or two blades will remain in focus. |
I bought this, I'm trying to use it with my 50mm or 85mm, but I can't get it to focus, tried it in Manual focus, still wont work. | The tube will not focus automatically. Since it is set up for fine photography, I use a tripod to keep it steady. A minor motion is all you need to focus. Remember if the surface is not even valleys will be in focus while higher points will not. |
