query: Can you replace the plastic/silicon parts of the plunger with the bodum metal parts (the spiral plate, mesh and bottom cross plate)?

pos: It is possible to unscrew the piece with the silicon and plastic. Finding metal parts to replace it with is a whole other issue. I have not tried to find them. I would first contact Bodum to see if they offer a metal replacement piece.

pos: Sorry... don't know the answer to this one. Never needed to replace those parts on either of the two thermal pots we've used.

pos: I do not know, this would be best asked of the Bodum. If you go on their website, you can contact them directly.

pos: Not necessary, and not recommended. The stainless screen used in the glass presses WILL scratch the inside surface of the metal. Further, the silicon screen and wiper assembly is made of lab grade inert silicone plastic, meets or exceeds the old German Food Purity laws (the toughest on the planet, even tougher than today's EU standards) and thus can be safely trusted. Bodum did this right at the outset, trust their sterling and long reputation for quality, functionality, and safety. The silicone screen and wiper assembly does a better job and allows less particulate, so the cup is cleaner.


query: Can I sit and sew on it

pos: Yes you can. I want to get another to use as a craft table for my ceramic paints. I roll my computer desk chair up to it and sit and sew quite comfortable. I love mine.

pos: With the door closed there is little room for your legs. I open the door and sit on a chair to sew. I like the space the side table provides when the door is open and props it up. There are compartments on the inside of the door to hold handy items too once the door is open. And, there is a foot rest!


query: Can it fit a jet ski trailer tongue of 3" by 3"? Is it prone to rusting or corroding?

pos: Yes it will, I even bolted it opposite side of the trailer jack to save room on tongue, one set of bolts that way. Over time it may rust, mine hasn't

pos: It has holes on bracket for 3 or 4 inch tongue you can see this in the pic of it, and it is aluminum and has not started to oxidize on me yet, but I do keep in a garage ...works well

pos: Yes, it has adaptive bolt holes. I've had mine a year with no evidence of corrosion

pos: Should work just fine. I have it on a small trailer. It could rust eventually. Mine is 2 years old and looks good yet

pos: It will fit just fine. The plating should give you years of service before rusting

pos: I am not sure if it would fit your trailer...mine is on a boat trailer. But I have had no problems with any rust or corrosion.


query: Can I buy replacement circuit boards

pos: Good luck getting any kind of response from the Manufacturer. I bought over 2 dozen of these units to replace 500 watt work lights in my space and after several months they began to fail. E-mails and phone calls to Lights of America never got a response. I think they are just a distribution office here in the US and are not interested in customer service.

pos: NO - not to my knowledge. I have these lights on the outside of my house, many. The bulbs through my experience has outlasted the light/circuit board.

pos: Cheaper to just buy a new light. I have learned to just seal them thoroughly, To keep the bugs from shorting it out. Hope this helps....


query: Will this filter remove the salty taste that is in tap water at some of the island resorts such as Atlantis in the Bahamas?

pos: I'm not sure...sorry....never been to island resorts. However, I am in Kabul, Afghanistan, and it did improve the taste of the water I was drinking. I know it doesn't purify the water, but I bought it because it filters the water for taste by removing things like nickel, chlorine, and lead (in general, metals that cause the water to taste weird). Hope this helps!


query: Is it possible to fill the bases with lead, BB's or sand etc.?

pos: No! There is no bottom enclosure. The product is molded plastic with no bottom. It does have very good anti-skid feet. If you have a good platform for it to rest on it really stays fairly still.

pos: If I remember correctly, I dont think so, let me check it out when I get back home.

pos: No, there is no provision or bases to hold any thing heavy! The plastic body is weak and there is no bottom.

pos: I don't think so,, you could, if your very creative,, attach it to a heavy 2X10 board. That would make it heavy. This item is made of plastic and the underside is hollow.

pos: I dont think there is a way to fill the base, however you could possibly use a prefilled bag or two to lay across the 2 bases. GL

pos: I would not recommend it. The plastic frame is too flexable Buy a lead sled if yor looking to capture recoil. This is a rifle rest with the butt against your shoulder.


query: can this also replace motorolaBQ50

pos: I am not sure if everything looks the same, I don't know why it wouldn't. If it was me I would call customer care for motorola and ask

pos: I am sorry that I am unable to answer that question. Since this battery was New Old Stock it wouldn't stay charged and I was unable to use it.


query: Does this come with red and black test probes?

pos: Yes. Not the best probes, but good Pomona probes cost as much as this meter.


query: What is the difference between a Class 2 and a Class 4 card?

pos: the higher the number the better the picture, you may get a few glitches or choppiness when you play back a scan 2 or simply the fact that it takes the 2 a bit longer to focus,playback or load...honestly overall....there's not a lot of difference so you are still fine (personally) I have the both and a I'm taking photos every day and really can't tell THAT much of a difference. hope this helped.


query: Does it work with a canon powershot sx510

pos: Check with Canon - every camera has different specs and it is the camera's specs that will dictate whether this will work or not. It works in my Nikon D5200 DSLR but I wouldn't know if it works in another model because each is different. Canon probably has this information somewhere in its website - and it should tell you in the manual if you have that.


query: Does the cuff come with the plastic plug that adapts the hose to the unit?

pos: Yes -- at least mine did when I got it several months ago. All assembled, full cuff, hose and plug-in for the unit.


query: Can you also use a baseball and lacrosse ball with this net?

pos: No I checked with a lacrosse ball, the netting is small enough so the ball wont go thru only in the orange part of the net. the sides of the net are to big.


query: does this fit a schwinn DSB 7 speed casette

pos: If the bike has a cassette hub then no ,but many cheaper scwhinns still ( at least till recently ) used freewheel hubs.IF it will fit you'll still need to lengthen chain some to accomodate the big stump pullin' gear . A little internet search will help you figure out whst kind of hub you have and how to lengthen the chain correctly . Good luck !

pos: Cassettes slide onto freewheel hubs. Freewheels like this screw onto fixed hubs that have threads on them. This includes the cogs/sprockets and the freewheel. If your hub has a built-in freewheel, this won't work.

pos: I can't say for sure but I doubt it. This is a freewheel and requires a ~34 mm dia male threaded piece on the wheel/axle to mount. The inside of the freewheel is a female threaded piece.

pos: Hi, this is a freewheel, designed for a hub that has threads attaching it. It sounds like you're looking for a cassette that attaches to a cassette hub. There is a difference, look it up. Both styles are available for cheap. Regardless, this freewheel, or in the case of a cassette opens up lots of possibilities as far as the ability to climb that hill that you've been looking at, but afraid of. Only problem, you'll have to have a rear derailleur with a long enough cage to work with that 34 tooth sprocket. Check that out too. Good luck. Gary


query: What are the dimensions of these glasses and how many ounces do they hold?

pos: Height: total = 7 in, goblet >3 in. Width: 3 in. Stem: < 4 in. Capacity: max ~ 11 oz, comfortably 8 oz, bottle of wine = 4 modest or 3 large glasses.

pos: I'm not quite sure on the exact dimensions but they hold at least 8-10 ounces easily!

pos: I don't have a ruler on me, but it's the size of an average wine glass. I'll guess about 9 -10 ounces? What I've noticed is white wine stays cold longer in them, than a regular glass. I love them and dishwasher safe.


query: Does this mouse have an on/off switch?

pos: Yes it does. Clearly labeled and pretty much impossible to accidentally switch into the on position while in your bag.

pos: I bought this mouse for my grand-son & yes it does have an on/off switch on the underside of the mouse.....


query: Any long-term experience with this little amp? Would be interested to learn longivity of this item.

pos: I have to admit that I don't use it very often, but I have had no problems with it. I did have one problem ... one channel didn't work at all. But they quickly sent me a replacement (they didn't ask for me to return the defective one). It worked fine and has worked fine ever since.

pos: It was great while it lasted. The mp3 plug in port came loose off the card after a few months. I don't know if the solder was bad or what. Also, I would only get one channel out of both speakers, not stereo. i didn't ask for a replacement although I should have.

pos: I have 2 and they've had no problems for two years. The one in the garage is on almost every weekend for up to 10 hrs at a time. Never a hitcand never hot, even in the desert. Aawesome little amps

pos: This amp is pretty good. We use it in place of the crappy amp and speakers that the LCD tv in the dining room has. I used low grade surround speakers that I had hanging around and it works perfect. We have used it for some time now. It is on all the time and has had no problems.

pos: this very small amp works and sounds great.just make sure you use the right size speakers.im using it on my computer and i love the way it plays and sounds.this is a small amp,and itworks well with small devices.i`ve had my amp for 2 years and it till play and work geart !

pos: I have had it hooked up to a sub woofer behind our couch for about a year, now the kid uses it for a make shift stereo hooked up to his xbox. not a permanent deal, as he uses it when he is home from college.Neat little amp, I plan on using it on my motorcycle in the next few years. For the price, I am happy.

pos: These little cheap amps are awesome. But make sure you have suitable low wattage speakers with the same ohm resistance. The (LP-808) is pretty good for small speakers. Just remember that its a $20 amp and you get what you pay for when it comes to electronics. I am currently using a (LP-2020A) which I have had for over a year and it is perfect for my apartment. I found a decent pair of small bookshelf speakers and a small Bose subwoofer at the Goodwill and that setup sounds good if not better then other more expensive systems that I have had in the past. I personally would recommend the LP-2020A if you can find one. These little cheap amps are awesome. But make sure you have suitable low wattage speakers with the same ohm resistance.

query: Where can I find leads to connect this to my alarm system? There are none currently on the system.

pos: My battery was located inside of my alarm box.Some boxes require a key to open them.

pos: You need to disconnect the old battery from the leads and connect the new item using the old wiring. Please let me know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

pos: There should be a control box for the system. Mine is hidden my master closet. The leads are inside the box along with the old battery.If you can't find it call your security monitoring company; e.g. ADT


query: Would you please let me know how many lbs.of meat (aprox) can I cook in this 8qt p.c.?

pos: I just cooked a bit more than 7.5 lbs of meat yesterday and there was room for a bit more (maybe 1 more lb).

pos: I have cooked 4-5 lbs of meat along with vegetables and broth in this container. It is fast and will allow less expensive cuts of meat to make stews and soups.

pos: I haven't cooked more than 2-21/2 lbs so far, the recipe book that came with it only has a few recipes but the most amount of meat shown in there is 3 lbs.I have cooked a larger amount if you include vegetables and potatos. the instructions say do not fill over 2/3 full though.There is a toll free number you can call at Presto though; you can call 8 AM- 4PM central, weekdays at 1-800-877-0441


query: Is this a cherry red or more of a burgundy? thanks!

pos: It's is a wine color but I washe it twice and was already coming apart was not worth it


query: I am 5'10 220 pound, what is the size recommendation?

pos: I'm 6' and 176 pounds, I bought an L, I went for one size bigger than what I usually wear on regular shirts. I could use a size M but the shirt stretches too much and doesn't look nice. I have two shirts, the red with a blue Spider and the Venom one, both size L. Maybe an XL could work fr you. I hope this helps you.

pos: It depends really on how tight you want it. I am 5'11" 240lbs athletic build, and an XL slightly less than skin tight, an XXL fits like a tight shirt.

pos: Def XL or XXL.I am 5'11 190Lbs and I got a large and its a very tight fit for me.

pos: Probably a large or maybe an extra large. These shirts are supposed to fit exetremely tight. I am 5'11" and 185, and wear mediums.

pos: You need an XL or XXL that would fit perfect., and the XL will be tight on you


query: I would like to know if these glasses will work with the Samsung UN65H7150AFXZA?

pos: I believe they will, as i have H6400 and they work just fine. My TV, as yours, is 2014 model, but a bit cheaper.


query: We are looking for 2 white 3/4 inch double threaded downrods that are 12 inches long

pos: We do not have any and you need to be sure that the one you purchase matches the brand of the fan. Not just any down rods will not work with just any random fan. Thanks and have a great day.


query: Is there a simple set up guide that ensures unit is set to record automatically?

pos: There is a manual that provides a little help, but you're pretty much on your own. However if you have a basic understanding of gagets the setup is fairly easy. Both units I purchased required no setup, the default settings work ok. If for some reason you want to change the setup, a little experimentation is all that is needed.

pos: Yes you can just turn on the unit and when the screen comes up, just press the "OK" button and it will start recording but it will be set for long distance viewing.

pos: When I use the included lighter adapter, mine starts recording as soon as I start the car (the car's lighter socket is switched).


query: I have a wireless router in my basement office but have troubles on 2nd floor getting connected, can I place this on 2nd story and gain access from??

pos: Despite I have bought DAP-1320 extender , I would say yes, you may solve this problem with this DAP-1522 (it is better than mine). Be sure to find a point on 2nd floor as close as possible from your primary point down stairs. At starting configuration , do it side by your 1st point and just after done this, move your extender to the place your have chosen.

pos: There are several things you can do to get better signal. The higher in your home you can locate your router the better. If you are stuck keeping it in a lower level, I found the DAP-1320 repeater to work quite well and an inexpensive fix. I use one of these to provide signal to the backyard and find it to be quite good.

pos: You will probably get the same reception no matter where you place it. If your Internet access isn't a problem, try splitting the difference and place the router on the first floor or you can do what I did and that is purchase a D-Link range extender. The model I bought is DAP-1320 and it work fine. All you need to do is plug it into a wall socket. The first floor should work fine.


query: Does it support two way switches? i want it for porch light: with on/off (+ timer) switch inside, and movement sensor outside

pos: It does not. This switch is for single pole circuits. It is also indoor use only.


query: Can it Vacuum seal any 3rd party bags? or regular plastic bags?

pos: I found the Foodsaver bags too expensive. I bought 2 generic rolls of the large size and just make the bags to fit whatever I am sealing. They look just like the foodsaver bags but for a lot less money. They work perfectly and I have not had any problem. I bought them on Amazon for about $20 and free shipping. Yeah for Prime!!! I do not believe you can use regular plastic bags as they would not take the heat seal.


query: How tall does this thing get. Different Chairs have different heights. How high up does the actual seat get? Inches please for measurement.

pos: The top of the seat of the chair on the one I received is at about 28" with the back of the chair reaching about 20 inches beyond that. Note that since it is a hydraulic system, the seat will settle an inch or two when you sit on it.

pos: I have a counter top that is 36 inches tall and I sit about an inch and a half below it. The arms raise high enough to go over the counter. I like the chair, very comfortable. I could not get the foot rest to stay up so I put black duct tape under desired position and it holds perfect.

pos: The seat adjusts from 24" to 32"H. This measurement is taken from the floor to the top of the seat cushion.


query: can it use in lenovo X240 series all model

pos: This SSD will need the adapter cable. Once the adapter is attached, you can use it on any computer's USB port. So once configure the answer is a YES


query: Can this be used on a glass top stove?

pos: It might be a little tricky. I think the key is getting the irons heated properly. They need to be quite hot and I use a little shortening brushed on grids. If you can get cast iron real hot on your cook top, it should work for you. Good luck and enjoy.

pos: YesThat is what I haveWorks greatHeat on both sides for three minutes to start

pos: Yes That is what I have Works great Heat on both sides for three minutes to start


query: I bought one and it seems to not have a camera ... what's up with that?

pos: The webcam works great, small lens in the center above the screen in the opening with the silver background. Enable through the start menu of your OS.

pos: Yes it does, webcam works great. Small lens, top center above screen in silver background peice. Enabled (and disabled) through your operating system. Try search for webcam on your start menu.

pos: It has one, just has to be turned on. Press the "G" next to the Caps Lock light and turn the web cam on.


query: I have a Cannon 7D mark ii and a 100-400 mark ii zoom lens. Will this tripod support these in a very sturdy/solid way? Or will it be wobbly, etc...

pos: I have a Canon 5 d Mark ii with a vertical grip and a 70-200 lens and I wad very impressed how steady this tripod held the camera. I thought it was going to wabble but it held it steady in any angle I placed it. It feels light but it delivers.

pos: No. This tripod, in my opinion, is not sturdy enough for your camera and lens combination. Go with a heavier aluminum tripod, or a high-end carbon fiber tripod.This tripod is only appropriate for a compact "point-and-shoot" camera.

pos: Since it securely supports my 5D with the Canon 100-400 mk II lens, I see no issues.

pos: I have the same camera and lens combination. I have used it on the tripod. It works well as long as it is on a solid flat surface and it's not very windy. The first time I use this tripod was on Fourth of July weekend. It was extremely windy here and my photos were all very blurry. In other conditions, the camera and lens are fine on this tripod.


query: How would this work for occassional climbing up rocks on all fours to get a good shot? Is there a better strap option for this?

pos: It depends on the weight of the cam. and you. Synched down all the way I can sling it around behind my back and ride a bike fine. I looked around and purchased this one for the price point and versatility. From my experience this strap does what I want without all the bulk of others. Sure, go climb those rocks with it I think you'll be pleased.

pos: I think you would need another tie to your waist. But it is the best camera sling I have ever used for "up right" hobby photography. I also have the Joby heavy duty ball joint tripod. Also the best for me. Pricy but best. quality.

pos: Personally I think this is a perfect product for that! Unlike neck straps that dangle in front of you the Joby Sling Strap can be fastened snugly against the body and rotated towards your back giving you more freedom to move/climb without the worry of knocking your camera/lens against something in front of you. That's assuming your not doing crazy climbs in that case you probably would be better off with some kind of padding. I have the Low Pro Sling Backpack that is great for extra protection & easy/quick camera access.

pos: Never had to try that, but I think it would work very well since you can snug it up and release it as needed, and ours seems to always stay where we put it.

pos: Black Rapids RS Sport is about as good as it gets. Think Tank offers a holster type case. Maybe it can be adapted to a climbing harness, call and ask. Sure you would not prefer a much smaller maybe 4/3 frame camera over a full size DSLR??

pos: This strap while great to walk around all day with without getting tired would not be good for climbing up on rocks. It works well in a standing or setting position but you would destroy your camera trying to climb rocks with it. You need a padded camera case for the climbing as you are describing. Most likely a backpack type so you are not banging the camera against the rocks all day.


query: does this have a bracket on the bottom

pos: There are two latches that get attached to the deck that will hold the unit securely.

pos: No. Mine was a replacement for an existing potty so I used the existing bracket.

pos: Yes, it has couple of plastic to which will be screw to the floor of your boat which keeps the unit in position.


query: 55"? When? Anyone know the release date?

pos: A lot of us are waiting on this set. It is already out in Canada and Mexico. Check out this thread to stay up to date and to find settings when it comes out: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1244484


query: would this fit a 2013 Ford Fusion

pos: Sorry, I have no idea. I bought it for my 2004 & 2012 CTS Cadillacs. You can always return it. It is a good product. I don't know why it would not fit.


query: can you take pictures while shooting video?

pos: Hi inch, this Sony Alpha a5000 doesn't support dual recording (taking pictures while doing video recordings). -Ely


query: What is everyone using for a shampoo? I have a 3 yr. old that is using this body wash & lotion, but I am confused what to wash his hair with?

pos: I am using this body wash as shampoo, as well as for washing my face, neck and wherever needed. As a shampoo the creamy texture feels slippery on my wet hair and I wondered at first if it was rinsing clean. But when it dries my hair has zero residue of any kind, is totally shiny, and very soft. It acts like a combination shampoo/moisturizer product but a million times better feeling, better looking and healthier in every way. Will never use anything else again.

pos: I use Garnier Fructis anti-dandruff shampoo. But perhaps a 3-year-old would require something gentler.

pos: My dermatologist said to use this as shampoo also. We don't have a problem using it on our two toddler boys.

pos: I just starting using Neutrogena's T-Gel shampoo. I've only been using it for about a week, but I can feel the difference. My scalp itches less than before.

pos: I use it as a shampoo on my 6 month old. He had bad cradle cap & now this helps to keep it from coming back. No more itchy scalp or flakes. I follow up with the Cetaphil Eczema lotion on his scalp after his hair is dry too, which also helps a great deal. His skin & scalp are all clear

pos: i have been using this as shampoo as well for my 3-year old daughter and 11-year old son for quite some time now and it is good for their dry scalp.


query: Once you put the data onto your computer, can you then bring the data from computer to a CD?

pos: Hi! I've brought songs that had been recorded by my Sony recorder to computer...onto a CD with no problem.Hope this helps! I love its quality!

pos: Absolutely. I use it for that all the time at work and it is my favorite recorder.

pos: Yes - the data files from the device are mp3 format. Pretty much any disk burning software will be able to save the mp3 to a CD as a data file OR convert the mp3 and burn a CD capable of being played in an average CD player.


query: what is it constructed out of?

pos: It is made out of press board, fixtures are plastic. Overall easy to put together, great quality for not being real wood. I would buy again. Its super cute.

pos: Yes! Besides making the diagnosis, if there is any irregularity in the light panel can fix it. Works on most European and Asian cars yes.


query: What is the height of the interior from the carousel to the ceiling?

pos: From center of the turn table to the ceiling is 8 3/8". I found, after 2 months, the door did not fit as tightly as it should. This microwave is being replaced (with a Sharp) and I do not recommend it.

pos: 8 5/8" h x 14 3/4" w = inside cubicle, 8 3/8" h from carousel to top of cubicle


query: I have a KA-BAR BK2 Becker Companion Fixed 5-1/4" Blade will the Ka-Bar 6-0077HNDL-7 Becker Knife Handles fit with my BK2 knife companion ?Many thanks

pos: The handle on all of the larger BKs are the same diameter, so yes. Also these scales are a great investment that you won't regret if your knife sees use. Enjoy!

pos: These Micarta handles will fit the BK-2, BK-3, BK-4, BK-5, BK-7, BK-9, and BK-10

pos: Yes. They fit mine perfectly, and I was able to use the same hardware from the original handles.

pos: Yes, they will fit but you need extra bolts or screws because the Original ones may be to Short


query: does it come with a manufacturers warranty

pos: Comes with one year from purchase date "bumper to bumper" warranty including spray gun, high-pressure hose and all accessories. "This warranty covers replacement parts."


query: where can I buy a battery

pos: You can actually buy it on http://amazon.com. They have different brand names that's not so common. Like Xeno. Just look for 3.6 volt, or XL-,050F, 1/2 AA. ( they do come in 4 packs too.)


query: Can I use this tread on my Sergerr?

query: Does it learn a DirecTv remote? I have a Harmony that is dying (some buttons are no longer working) and it never learned my DirecTV remote.

pos: Yes it can.i have my directv hr34 genie receiver loaded on this remote all commands work fine. And it can be taught commands manually if you prefer.

pos: Yes it can.i have my directv hr34 genie receiver loaded on this remote all commands work fine.And it can be taught commands manually if you prefer.

pos: Yes it can. I loaded my hr34 directv receiver to this remote and all commands work fine.You can also load commands to the r40 manually,if you prefer.

pos: I hated it, and it was very limited, so I think not. If I were you, I would stay with the Harmony brand, because I found that they're much better products.


query: Does this support my motherboard Biostar TA790GX A2+? The biostar website says it only supports 605e and AMD website says Biostar TA890FXE so I am not sure if this will be compatible to my old mobo

pos: It should, but would defer to seller. Recommend updating bios to latest version prior to installation, but I don't see a conflict.Not sure why it's isn't listed but Phenom II X4 945 is and it requires about the same vCore and etc, but has higher TDP.Source: biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=374 cpu-world.com/Compare_CPUs/AMD_AD605EHDK42GI,AMD_ADX630WFK42GI,AMD_HDX945FBK4DGI/

pos: No your motherboard doesn't support the Athlon II 630 .. It does support much better CPU like these ASIN # B002TK3A56 , B002XNBQJQ , B002M7FMJS , B003IKDZEM , B0059E1BGY , B001R84CGW .. Search these ASIN and all are compatible with your motherboard and are much better CPU because they have the L3 Cache that the Athlon II don't ..

query: What is the size of this banner?

pos: I found what looks to be the same banner listed on the Party City website. It says it is 65 in x 20 inches, and I believe that is correct for this one too.


query: Are both posters 12in x 18in?

pos: I haven't ordered my update yet, but the one I ordered in 2010 included the federal poster (18x24) and the California poster (24x36). There is more information at the manufacturer's web site www.osha4less.com


query: Does this set come with a kitchen shear? The block picture shows a slot for it, but the description of items does not mention one.

pos: No, it doesn't come with kitchen shears. However, the block does have a slot for shears.


query: Why is sodium the number one ingredient? I have high BP also and don't need the sodium. Do you make one without?

pos: The amount of sodium per capsule is minute in relation to the other ingredients, and globally contributes to less than 1% of the recommended daily value. Being in the number one quoted ingredient has nothing to do with preponderance; it is the way sellers have to indicate nutrients. Moreover, silymarin has been shown to protect cardiac cells from oxidative stress due to its antioxidant properties; so it is great for your heart, aside of your liver. Recall that sodium is an essential nutrient. Finally, your high BP is most surely determined by other insults. So I would not worry about the tiny fraction of sodium in the capsules, the benefits far outweight any risk you might consider. Hope this was helpful. Cheers. Hector.

pos: Yes and as the other person said, it works well. I've had this tablet for over 2 yrs now. The only issue I've had was my fault...I blew the speaker watching drag race videos at top volume. I just bought an external speaker & plugged it in.

pos: Yes indeed. And the camera(s) front and back are really quite clear and sharpfor a tablet


query: Is there a way to extend the length, like an add-on that would go between the end of the strap and the camera itself?

pos: sure i guess you could. it would hv to be the same size and type of material. when you attach the 2 pcs of material together they would have to attach fairly seamlessly so the clip can slide over the attached pieces. make sure its attached very well a camera is heavy. i wouldnt want to loose my camera bc the attached pcs came apart !!

pos: It works the other way. You enter your router password into the streaming box. This is done via the on screen menu. Select Network and setup, then enter your router password (include any dashes (-)).


query: I need an 8mm shift knob for my 2012 scion tc I was curious if this shift knob has threads inside the plastic to screw in or if the inside isnt thread

pos: It has threads inside the ball itself and inside the plastic adapters. My adapters didn't fit the spline so I just wrapped a good amount of gorilla tap and screwed the ball down on top of it. Been holding good for months now

pos: The inside of the metal knob is threaded but it's a bug thread. It comes with 3 pieces of plastic that will thread inside the knob. The three pices are three different sizes, one of which should fit your tc. It fit my 01 Prelude. Hope that helps!

pos: It has a thread inside the plastic. I put it on celica which I believe has the same thread as the tc so it should fit. I actually got a lot of compliments on this shift knob.

pos: Hi i got a celica and it dosn't come with screw but when you start to screw it in the plastic part molds to your shift lever and the shift lever stays intact


query: They say it's "Available in 3 Different Firmness Options; Soft, Medium and Extra-Firm," but I don't see where to choose. Which firmness is this one?

If you would like to change your order to soft or extra firm, please contact us after ordering and we will change your order accordingly. Thanks for asking!


query: can this digitizer be put in a phone contracted with AT&T ? Will I need to purchase adhesive, or is there an adhesive included. (I know that I can use a hair dryer)

pos: if it's a g2x is all the same. you need to buy adhesive and recommend a can of pressured air or a blower to make sure is very clean. i used masking tape to gather the broken glass by taping it to the outside. it was easy to do and i saved some money too. my daughter still using it and it works great! i used you tube also for instructions on how to do it, good luck

pos: You will either need some double sided tape or something similar, it does not come with an adhesive.


query: When frozen do these turn to a solid state or are they soft? I need solid to carry-on to a plane with breast milk. Thanks!

pos: They will turn solid when frozen and slowly thaw. If you keep them in a good insulated cooler they should stay frozen for the flight

pos: hard, but when the unfreeze/thaw out they do seep and leak a bit. but I still use them with a better product that freezes below 0. Its called Nu-Ice but it must be deep frozen for 2 days

pos: after removing from freezer for a few minutes, the pacs are very cold but pliable. The best ice pacs we have ever purchased.

pos: They're solid...and they remain solid for quite awhile in a cooler. I used them to keep sherbert frozen in a cooler for a birthday party. It was put in the cooler around 10:00 am, at 9:00 pm, the sherbert was still frozen solid. The Techni ice was getting soft by then.

pos: They are solid. Frozen hard; when they thaw they are soft but takes a long time. Do not rush when constituting the first time. The more you squeeze and crumple them under water the bigger the pillows get. Then leave them submerged overnight before you freeze.


query: will this kit work on 2007 2000cc honda crv

pos: We have two different kit one is for 2000 -2006 crv and other one is for 2007 -2011 crv thanks for asking


query: Does this product work well for losing weight?

pos: No it shouldn't be used alone, this is a supplement. It's used to make up the difference in what you don't get from food, like vitamins. You should lose 1 to 2 pounds a week that is healthy. Grab a book by a nutritionalist, or M.D. and then plan a diet. Or better yet go see a nutritionalist.

pos: Yes. Use it in the one day diet where you drink 7 to 9 glasses of 8-14 ounces of water and half a scoop {2 tablespoons}of this per glass. Drink them every 1.5 to 2.5 hours and don't do less than 7 or more than 9 and drink them between the time windows I mentioned. The next day eat normally. Do this every other day for 30 days and you should lose 20 to 35 lbs depending on how overweight you are. You will lose 4 lbs the first day. The more overweight you are the more you will lose. The important thing is that this will keep you from losing muscle along with fat and will keep your metabolism up.

pos: Absolutely, man. Whey is one of the highest quality protein out there. Take it after your workouts and you won't feel as sore. After a week or two start taking after your workouts and before bed with some milk. Obviously you're going to have to diet and excersize but ya whey will definitely lean you out.

pos: Yes, I have lost 20 lbs on it. The shakes are very filling and reduce appetite. If you just add this to your diet and don't cut anything, then you will just get fatter.


query: How big are the average size charms, generally?

pos: some of the charms are very small and a few could be used as a pendant. the batch I rec'd was an excellent variety. I have used them in bracelets and as an accent in a necklace. They make a piece interesting. It is a great selection.


query: Does it have a number directory or just the fe speed dial

pos: I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but the system has the capability to hold a number (100?) of names/numbers...

pos: It has up to 5 groups of callers. Way more than one would need. It's a great phone. You won't be sorry


query: Can I use this unit (Key Pad) to replace my Honeywell Ademco 6150 Keypad? Or do I need to install a completely new security system with this unit?

pos: This is a control panel with a built in touch screen. It will not replace a 6160


query: What is the diameter of the table top? and the diameter of the fire bowl?

pos: Measuring the top of the table is 2' 4 1/2" each side. When measuring the opening to the fire bowl, it is 1' 9 1/2" each side. As you can see in the photo on the underside, the fire pit slopes down to a smaller size in the bottom. (Maybe 4" per side less) at the bottom.


query: I found the lighting too dim for live blood. Anybody found a solution?

pos: When using darkfield condenser to view live blood cells, the light intensity will reduce dramatically to provide contrast to the blood cells.


query: I lost the instructions for mixing this for my hair. What should I mix it with and how long does it have to set before application to hair?

pos: You can mix this with anything acidic! Most people use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. I prefer to use chamomile tea because it is less drying on my hair. With most henna you want to let the mixture sit for about 12 hours before application however with this henna it isn't necessary. I have used it immediately after mixing and had the same results as I do with henna I let sit for a long period of time! Best henna I have used :)

pos: Just mix it with some warm water (doesnt have to be hot) until a yogurt consistency is achieved. No need to let it set, you can use it immediately.


query: my headphone has problem after 6 months used. where should I contact to fix it?

pos: Contact Pioneer, there should be a one year warranty on these headphones for parts/replacements.

pos: Pioneer should have a one year warranty for parts/replacement, so I would get in touch with Pioneer's customer service dept.


query: I've seen this one and the smaller one (10-30i) which one is better for 20 gallons?

pos: My tank is 30 and this one works perfect since its right in the middle of the ranges. If u have a 20 I'd go with the smaller one.

pos: I personally like the larger, as it gives me the flexibility to move it to a larger tank later on. It does use more power, and it does give off more heat, but the heat issue should not be a problem in a tropical tank--or even a gold fish tank. You also have a larger filter area, which is advantageous. A money-saving note: I do not change the filter element. Once or twice a month I simply direct a strong spray of hot water on the filter element to clean the filter portion and to reactivate the carbon. I have done this many times, and it really saves on filter elements. The In-Tank filter is so much easier to deal with than the older box filters. Enjoy your leisure now!

query: Will this device connect an old Bose speaker to an i-phone 5S and charge it as well?

pos: It will connect to the iPhone 5 but it will NOT charge it. This device connects to the headphone portion of your iPhone so it only projects the sound (a.k.a. speakers) but has not way to charge it.

pos: Yes it will work no it will not charge. But you can charge the phone while using it


query: Will this pot work on a ceramic electric stovetop? (no coils). Thanks,

pos: I believe it will work just fine:) We love the coffer it makes on our gas top in the house and know it will in the shop. We buy our coffee at TJ's, Organic, Fair Trade and make better coffee than SB's for a fraction of the cost.

pos: Do you mean a glass-top stove? Yes. I have glass top and it works just fine.

pos: I believe so. Its just like using any other steel bottom pot. I have used on gas and electric with no issues. Makes a great cup of coffee.


query: does it fit the iPhone 5c?

pos: It fits the my 5s just fine I think they are both the same size just different features

pos: Amecus Curiae i dont believe it will. They may have one for the 5c....but the 5s is different in shape...a small amount means alot on cases

pos: Yes, it does. I like it a lot , but it's very heavy. The case probably weighs as much as the phone .


query: Please, what are the measurements of the Twin XL?

query: My daughter is 4 yrs. old and wears a size 8 shoe. What size would she need?

pos: I would get her a size bigger so that she can grow into it. My granddaughter is 8 and I purchased a size 6 for her and her shoe size is 5.


query: Is this a single or a two pack?

pos: Right now there are two options, Black or Pair. I don't know if ordering "black" will give me one or two, or if ordering "pair" will give me two or four. Guess I'll find out.UPDATE: I chose the "black" option and the bag has two straps in it, so ordering the "pair" option should get you four straps.


query: Does anyone have any experience using spotify with this either through the USB or Bluetooth?

pos: I use the Spotify app on my iPhone and connect it to the JVC via Bluetooth. You have to start Spotify using the iPhone, but once it's running, you can skip through songs using the receiver or remote. You also have to use the iPhone to switch albums or playlists. I haven't tried it with a USB connection though.

pos: I use Spotify over blue tooth. You can use the receiver to skip through songs.


query: Does this product help with acne and thinning hair?

pos: I do not know specifically the answer to your question; however, my doctor wanted me to take DIM to enhance the "good" hormones and diminish effects of "bad" hormones. With this in mind, it may actually help acne and thinning hair. I have noticed that my thinning hair has not decreased in volume and may have actually improved since taking DIM. I just never associated this to DIM.

pos: Acne - YES. Thinning hair, I'm not sure because I do not have that issue and have not been able to test it for that.

pos: I don't know. I don't have those issues. Mine was more hot flashes and period pain. It has helped me with that.

pos: My husband uses 2 capsules a day and it helps control his cystic acne. However, we have not heard or read so far if it has any effect on thinning hair.

pos: I have not heard of this product being effective for acne or thinning hair.

pos: I honestly don't know. I didn't notice any difference for me. But, I also didn't use it religiously.

pos: I realize this is question is almost a year old but I thought I would answer in case someone else is needing help with acne and thinning hair. Nettle leaf tea (preferably an infusion - steeping for 8 hrs before you drink it) will help your adrenal glands which in return help with balancing your hormones (ie. acne) and assist in providing thicker, healthier hair. Horsetail tea will also help your hair grow. You can drink the teas or apply either of the mentioned teas to your hair as a rinse. Furthermore, if you are extremely estrogen dominant, vitex (chasteberry) will increase your progesterone levels to balance your hormones. If none of these work, you may want to have your thyroid checked because thyroid problems can also cause acne and thinning hair.

pos: yes, it helped my cystic acne (I am a 60-year old woman). I needed 2-3 pills a day to get the best effect. I have had cystic acne since I was a teenager, and it has gotten better over the decades, but it refuses to go away. Other than birth control pills, no other acne products I have tried have had any effect


query: Is this camera duck resistant? There's a lot of ducks in my neighborhood. They're quite aggressive.

pos: Throw it at the duck, and the duck will explode. That's how duck resistant it is.

pos: I would say this camera is moderately duck resistant.It depends on how the ducks come at the camera. The body is weather-resistant, and can probably withstand the very worst a duck can do. However, the lens is not weather/duck-resistant. It is conceivable that a duck could poo on the lens, fouling its functions, or scratch the glass with its talons. Be careful, duck-related damage is not covered under warranty.

pos: Try pointing the camera to them and yell "in your face!" while pressing the shutter, not only would you scare them away, you also get great shots of "duck faces".

query: "Usually ships in 1 to 2 months", what's with that?

query: How heavy is this? Is this thick enough to keep warm in winter, but not too thick to where you could leave it on all year in the warmer months too?

pos: Ah, I see you look at similar things as I do before you purchase, good for you. Check it out first. Yes, this comforter is definitely thick enough to warm in winter, and yet a cool enough fabric to leave on the bed all year. I had it on mine all spring & summer, and it was quite comfortable.

pos: It's not heavy at all. You can use it all year round, but in winter I double it up with flannel sheets and a light blanket for my boys. An adult could generate enough heat to stay warm. Also...you cannot dry it on high heat. It gets scrunchy.

pos: Not a heavy comforter. It keeps you warm in winter. I had it on all summer....A Very nice comforter.


query: What does this blender weigh?

pos: About 3.14 pounds. It is also called the Bamix Gastro 350 and the front of the box says PRO-3. It is beautiful and powerful.

pos: 'Gastro350'- vs. 'Pro-3'? These two terms have very different meanings. Any Bamix with a '350' means a 350-watt rated motor- the most powerful immersion mixer on the market. In the market you will also see Bamix 100s, 150s, 200s & 250'x. Each has a correspondingly-rated motor. OTOH 'Pro-3' refers to Bamix blenders with the shaft 3-cm longer - ie., 'Pro-length'.

pos: About 3.14 pounds. It is also called the Bamix Gastro 350 and the front of the box says PRO-3.It is beautiful and powerful.


query: Does this game contain a printed manual? Does it have any insert in the box?

pos: No manual really needed, pretty easy learning curve for a game such as this. Only insert was the code for the bonus "Fellowship Pack" in my edition...

pos: It doesn't come with a manual. You learn everything you need to know to play the game while playing. (there might be a digital manual on the disc) It does come with a code insert for extra outfits.

pos: This game has no instert either. And I did wish this game had a printed manual, I'm sure it would have been hilarious too if it did.


query: The discription says it is blue but the picture shows a black surface. What color is this?

pos: Blue. We have been very pleased with this purchase. Sturdy table, instructional video very helpful for assembly.

pos: Michelle, Thank you for your interest in STIGA! This table has a dark blue table top. Hope this helps! STIGA

pos: First one I received was dark green. Now they replaced it with a table that is deep dark blue.


query: Is this spray gluten free?

pos: Hi JES, That is a great question! I'm looking at the spray bottle and it does not state anywhere that it is gluten free. Since I do not have any issues trying to avoid gluten products, that is something I never thought about. But I see no mention of gluten anywhere. Sorry I could not be of more help!

pos: Jes, sorry for the delayed response, I have been on a cruise. As far as the spray being gluten free, I would say yes. I just read the entire label, and there is no mention of gluten in the ingredients. Use in good health. Jeff


query: We have a DV331AEW SAMSUNG dryer. However the letters and numbers engraved on it are different from the original. Would it still function the same way

pos: That's the dryer I have, and this is the part I'm using. So you should be fine. Ours blew a 2nd... then a 3rd time. Turned out to be a bad logic board, which is also very easy to replace and can be found MUCH cheaper on other websites.

pos: I am not sure what engraved numbers you're referring to on the dryer. Have you called Samsungs's parts department?

pos: I'm sorry, but I'm not a repair man, I just would not know. However, When I looked at the cost of calling a repairman, paying for his time to come out to check out my dryer, paying his price for ordered parts, and then paying him his time to install them, I figured I could easily be charged $200.-$300.00 or more to get it done. So I went on youtube and watched the videos pertaining to my model dryer as to how to take apart my dryer and fix it. I then found the parts online at a much lower price and some with free shipping. I wasn't sure which sensor was giving me trouble so I replaced 5 of them along with a new heating element. I spent about $76.00 and my machine runs perfectly.

query: What are the slat width and spacing?

pos: I have a queen size. I don't know about the twin. The slats on the queen are 4" apart.

pos: It's a very sturdy bed. I use a memory foam mattress and have had no issues

Whether it will do what you want for that specific application, I say you need to try it. I would GUESS that you would be satisfied.

pos: This equipment was defective. It could not even focus enough to see organisms in a collected lake water.


query: Will my Shimano HG 50 7 speed 13-34T cassette fit on this hub?

pos: Yes. This is not a whole hub. If you have a 125 spaced shimano hub. This will replace the freehub body. You can run your 7 speed cassette on a modern hub however with a spacer. So really you only need this if your frame/wheel requires a 125mm spaced back end.

pos: Yes, a Shimano 7-speed HG body will fit on the freehub that you linked. They are designed for compatibility. PG


query: Are the 2 oz. bottles a full month supply? Specifically, what are the ingredients in the liquid?

pos: I'm still taking this just a month, I' m still have 1/2 bottle . Every day I take this just 2 time. But this product doesn't work for me. I' m still wait to see the result in 4 more week. I haven't loose anything in 4 week of using this liquid. Hope it work for you

pos: Per the label and directions - it is a 30 day supply. The ingredients are: Garcinia Cambogia Extract (60% HCA), B12, Water, 20% alcohol & natural flavors.

pos: Yes at 2 doses per day it last a month. I've tried the capsules and the liquid, I like the liquid MUCH BETTER. The ingredients are Garcinia Cambogia 250mg and B12 2500 mcg. The taste is not bad at all. And it is half the price of the capsules I was using. I highly recommend this product.

query: Will this product give a sheen to tiles that are low sheen?

query: Has anyone bought the Gridline fabric model? What is the texture like?

pos: This texture is very soft and cosy, like a cotton! Not like a plush. I think this is the best material in new collection! But I returned this car seat, because the straps are too short ( my baby is under 20 lbs)

pos: We just received one and didn't like the Gridline fabric at all. It's very scratchy, almost like sandpaper. We're exchanging the seat for a different fabric instead.

pos: I'd say it's similar to parachute fabric but with a subtle grainy texture. I've never come across it before. Super easy to clean and doesn't attract lint or other particles (Annie's bunny crumbs slide right off).


query: Can USB 2.0 be used to connect external Hard Drive and play jpg, videos (VTS), WMA etc: and play jpg, videos (VTS), WMA etc?

pos: Yes, external HDDs can be used, with varying degrees of success. They must be FAT32 formatted. I don't think a NAT will work, as the storage must be "Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport". I don't believe a NAT HDD is compliant with that USB spec, but that may depend on the NAT. I own the DV-970HD, which has only USB1.1 and therefore is too slow to stream Divx encoded video from an external HDD. I'm getting the 980H to see if that problem is resolved with the USB2.0. The jury is currently out on what possibilities exist for streaming video to the 980H over USB. >>EDIT<< I have received the 980H and successfully streamed divx and xvid video over USB from an external HDD and flash drive. I experienced minor stuttering once when using a flash drive, but that was likely the fault of the flash drive being somewhat old and not particularly fast. A USB HDD works great. Note that there is a 700 file maximum due to hardware restrictions, so very large drives with a huge library of music, pics, or videos will likely not function as one might like. File browsing is rudimentary, but effective.

query: Silly question but if I wanted 32 gigs of ram, can I buy 2 of these or would I have to buy the advertised 32 gigs of this version?

pos: I just cut one in two to help determine the dye content. The ENTIRE pill was white in appearance. If it has any blue dyes in it, they are not apparent. I also looked at the bottle, and it does not state any artificial colorings.Janet

pos: I can only tell you what's on the label. It does not have any other ingredients other than 10mg of Loratadine for each tablet. It works well for me. I like them. I can't say if it would help you or not. You'll have to just try them out for yourself.

pos: The label does not list any inert ingredients, so I can't state for certain there is no dye.

pos: there is no listing for inactive ingredient{s}..have used for 2-3 years successfully.

pos: Not that I know of , it doesn't specifiy, but you still can't beat the price , this is a generic , your not paying for the name , just like generic pharmacy prescriptions

pos: By definition, a dye (in this case it would be a food dye or a food additive) is meant to impart a color to a substance. No dye can act as a bleach. A blue dye will change the pill a blue color. If you are concerned about an allergic reaction, simply try using them. I've used this product for years with no ill effects.

pos: There is none listed on the bottle but there is a phone number to call with questions 1-800-809-0469

pos: I just cut one in two to help determine the dye content. The ENTIRE pill was white in appearance. If it has any blue dyes in it, they are not apparent. I also looked at the bottle, and it does not state any artificial colorings. Janet


query: Is it real AUTODESK these products? The products are not counterfeit copy?

pos: These are real, this is a normal thing for students. You can not profit off of this program, hence why it is for student. You can do everything you can with the expensive version, but your not supposed to sell your work. It is legit. If you need to learn how to use it, Lynda.com has a great educational service for it too. I use it for school.


query: What is the country of origin for this product? (i.e. where does the cinnamon come from, and where is it packaged?)

pos: Made from the bark of the Cassia trees native to indonesia. Info from Ton'es web site. http://www.tones.com/product?id=80 Hope this is helpful. M Chapman

pos: I'm not sure. I don't have the product in hands to check. But I guess is Vietnam.


query: Boot booster doesn't work: Does anybody else see the message during startup that "boot booster doesn't work this time" Can't figure out why, it is enabled in BIOS and i even tried updating the BIOS without success.

pos: I suggest going into the BIOS setting and disabling Boot Booster. I no longer receive that message and the machines gets to Windows faster. I also STRONGLY suggest updating to the 0502 BIOS... it fixed a lot of problems for me. Make sure you get all of the Windows updates first and select the option to get "other Microsoft updates" as well. Then download the BIOS files from the ASUS website... unzip the folder and put the BIOS file in an unzipped location. Then start ASUS Update and update the BIOS with the file you downloaded.


query: does anyone know where this unit is made or how easy it is to get parts for?

pos: try their website, we always use a local wholesale plumbing supply place when we need help.....parts for this seem pretty standard


query: Is 8G SSD big enough to load the O/S ?

pos: Yea, 8GB is plenty to run XP. You could strip XP down and install it on 256MB. I had XP installed on my eeePC with 4GB SSD and had about 2GB left over. Usually 2GB is what is used when done installing all your apps (Office 2003, VLC Media Player, ect). I would upgrade the ram if possible, especially since it has been so cheap lately. Hope this helps :)


query: I need to buy 100 of these, do you have them in stock?

pos: We have plenty of this item in stock. You can go ahead and place an order with our company.


query: Just put these on. The transmitter antenna extentds below the landing gear of the phantom2. Should I tack it up with zip tie or something?

pos: I purchased 90deg fittings for mine from Amazon, then I tried up the transmitter parallel to the body of the craft, and let the antenna hang down.

pos: You should be able to bend the antenna so that it's not hanging below the landing gear. It feels a little bit loose, but it will hold it's shape if you do it correctly.

pos: Not sure wich transmitter you're using but I'm using a boscam. You can use the 90 degree elbow that came with the antennas so it goes out to the side.


query: Is it Vudu compatible?

pos: alroy jones, That model does not, but here's a list of Samsung products that do include the Vudu App. http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/app/000000021489-compatible#container Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S


query: Do all movies have audio in Mandarin Chinese?

pos: No they do not. I'm not aware of any on this particular DVD that have the Chinese tracks.

pos: The box shows only Japanese and English. None of the movies I have watched gave a Mandarin Chinese language choice on the audio/subtitle menu.


query: Two in a box or one speaker

pos: 2 in the box...but don't waste you money. One came blown. Crackled as soon as I hooked it up.


query: What is the correct fit? Should there be space all around the nipple or not?

pos: Same as with regular flanges. I use the smallest size I can without any skin rubbing against the edges during pumping.

pos: As with regular flanges, your nipples shouldn't rub against the flange while in use. If there is some skin rubbing against the flange it should be very minimal. No skin should be left behind inside the flange. What ever size you use with normal flanges tells you what size you should use with the pumpin' pals. If you use a size under 25/26mm you should use the small, if you use 25/25 standard medium and any size larger than the standard 25/25 should use the large shield.


query: Could these handles be angled at 45 degrees and then remain in that position without twisting?

pos: I would say yes. The handles do have some friction to them, so you do have to try and make the handles rotate (not a difficult task if desired though). It might depend on your strength as to whether you can keep them at a 45 degree angle. Just tried though, and didn't have a problem. Good luck!

pos: the handles can be tightened to remain stable, using a combination wrench 13 metric to tighten upper nut, with a Torx wrench on bottom, to hold stable for tightening. Not sure of Torx wrench size, they usually come in a set. If you take to a Home depot or hardware store, they could get thee right size wrenches for you.

pos: The swivels have adjustable friction via an allen head screw with washer through to a hex nut above with metal and fiber washers. You can adjust the friction to be arbitrarily high, so this should serve your purpose. Go for it.

pos: You would have to alter the handles someway in order for them not to twist. The rotation of the handle adds variation and a better contraction at the top of the movement. Try them out and see...u can always return them!


query: 2 inch monitor stability: Would this unit be sturdy enough to support 2 20 inch wide screen monitors and how much space would be between them?

pos: I have 2 23" monitors mounted on this stand and it is plenty sturdy without being fastened down to anything(I have a glass desk and cannot drill into it). The arms swivel forward, so you should be able to close any gap between the monitors. However, this comes at the expense of moving the screens closer to your face, you may run into issue placing your stand back far enough. You might consider a different stand where the vesa mounts slide along the arms.


query: Can this be set up indoors?

pos: It could be used indoors. It's lightweight, but be mindful of ceiling height.

pos: Yes it can. That's exactly what we use it for,..indoor volleyball in a gymnasium. We love it!


query: Does it have the ability to download additional backing tracks that aren't already pre-loaded on it? Will firmware/software upgrades be available?

pos: It does have the ability to load other ones from other sources o function as backing tracks. USB or SD card

pos: I'm not sure if you can download addition backing tracks. You can use jam tracks of your own through an IPOD. I use both ways and it works fine. Go to the Roland website and you can download the manual to see if it can do what you are asking. Hope this helps. It is a nice unit. I think this is their second generation eband unit. I'm sure the next one will be even nicer.

pos: No Not That I Know Of ,Sorry.... But Boss Eband Js 10 Audio Is Very Good.....You Wont Be Sorry,Hook ThIs To Some Speakers You Will Have A Blast ...Th Effects On This Machine Is Awesome , Customize The Sound You're Way Save It You Won't Be ....Sorry

pos: Yes. The eBand has an USB interface with supplied cable to connect with your computer. Also supplied is the necessary software, "eBand Song List Editor" for downloading "tunes" in MP3-format. Think of the eBand JS-10 as a special purpose computer for Music. Alternatively, you can download backing tracks or any media in MP3 format to a flash drive and plug the flash drive into a USB slot on the eBand. Final Comment: I love this "box". It's kinda of like a boom box but better. It's designed for musicians


query: 1)can it can charge samsung note 2 spare battery and also the phone by usb in the same time?..2)very fast charging?

pos: I haven't tried the USB charge, so I don't know about that. It is NOT very fast charging, though. In my experience it always takes longer than using the regular phone charger. Also it never charges to 100%.


query: Does the charger handle 240V?

pos: The label on the power supply indicates "input: 100-240v AC." So, I'm going to say, yes.


query: Did this tea set come in a gift box it could be packed in repeatedly, say for safely taking on picnics? Or does it arrive just wrapped in bubble wrap

pos: This tea set comes very well packed, very well !! This is a fancy China tea set that I use at home but would never take it on a picnic for fear it would get broken........its just to fancy for a picnic but to each there own. I would be afraid of packing and unpacking it often, its good China for home use.......

pos: Mine did not come in gift box but wasi securely wrapped and taped in a box with certain pieces in smaller separate boxes such as the sugar and creamer. No bubble wrap :)

pos: It's been awhile since I purchased this item, so I can't be absolutely sure. But my memory is that it was not packed in a box that could be re used for picnics, etc. It really is a lovely set if you can find another way to transport it.


query: how does it connect to a garden hose?

pos: It does not and should not connect to a garden hose. It is a high pressure hose and nozzle requiring a pressure washer.

pos: haven't tried with a hose and it's not designed to be used that way, if you plan on using a hose just pick up a Drain Cleaning Bladder from home depot or order on amazon. hope this helps.

pos: This item is designed to be used with a pressure washer and cannot be connected to a garden hose. The connector fitting on this drain cleaning hose is a 22mm thread-on nipple.


query: Will this case fit a Squier Fender Bullet Strat. I wish I had the dimensions of it Thank you !

pos: H-42.5, W-15.75, D-4.5 I have a schecter diamond in there. When inserted there are about 2inches of space from the guitar to case on both the top and bottom.


query: Is this phone wall mountable? What are the dimensions of the base?

pos: The base unit can be wall mounted but protrudes quite a bit. The secondary charging bases are not mountable. The secondary units are about 4" high, 3" wide and 3" deep.

pos: This extension phone is not wall mountable. It's used as an extension phone to the base unit, which can be mounted on the wall. The dimensions of the base are approximately 3 inches, side to side and front to back. Hope this info helps.

pos: This is not wall mountable. You are looking at an add on handset only. This product at its largest points is right about 3 in by 3 in by my measurements, and the power cord comes out the back. I'm am very pleased with the product, and own the base with 3 of the handset add-ons.


query: I would like to ask: production date and shelf life of this product?

pos: The two dates were all rigth, it was that my doubt of taking them, but the taste and the shape was terrible different as the ones I used to use in the same brand but different product. The gummies looked like discolored and it had not the real shape.

pos: Production date I have NO idea, expiration date of mine is 5/14. I had to contact the maker and it is NOT Vita fusion that makes them, at 360-737-1655, to find out about an issue that came up when mine were delivered. Lasership didn't deliver until 10pm and I live in Florida which means my package sat in a hot vehicle all day. They had condensation in the jars. Upon calling the company they said it is an oil that is used to keep the vitamins from sticking together, they still stuck together. I am taking them because I needed them. I was informed they were safe to take.

pos: I am not sure that I can answer your question, but my expiration date is on 7/14. You can either contact Vita fusion or you can google the information. I hope that helps.

pos: I just bought mine today in a local "big box" store. The expiration date is 01/15. I do *not* recommend having these shipped to you in the hot summer months. Most of the big "Mart" type stores carry them in their vitamin section, and my local supermarket does, too.


query: Will this work on a 55 gallon UDS? Do I need to order anything else with this?

pos: I'm not sure about a UDS. The IQ110 has a kind of metal "cup" that fits over one of the vents in the bottom of my Kettle Grill tightly. It adjusts from inside the cooker with a folding nut kind of thingie to keep it tight. Then I have to cover all other air vents in the bottom of the Grill, put aluminum foil over about 2/3s of the lower (charcoal) grate, then it's ready to light charcoal, put charcoal in uncovered area of lower grate, put on cooking grate, put in the IQ110 thermostat sensor, turn on and set it, and then it's off to the cooking races. The cup thingie is flat, but sits good on the curved bottom of my Weber. It should work on my offset smoker, too, since it only has one vent even though the side where the vent is, is flat. Hope this helps you.


query: Will this auto-pair with my iphone 4? I want to get in my car and have the blue tooth automatically connect. Thanks,

pos: I have the iphone 5 and once you pair the phone for the first time, it pairs each and every time you get in the vehicle! I see no reason why the iphone 4 should be any different.

pos: Yes am sure it does as long as any phone has bluetooth it will,by the way great stereo for the bucks i personally am very happy with it. Good luck


query: Does the clear one yellow over time or does it remain the same color? Thanks!

pos: We have the blue one for several months. There has been no discoloring at all and it matches the front cover.


query: My son wears a size 15 shoe in mens. Would the large mens size 10-13 be big enough?

pos: I would say no because they run a little small. My son wears a 12 and they are a little tight on him. Hope this helps


query: How "sticky" is the silicone casing? I'm looking for something that will slide easily into jeans pockets without sticking to the inside of the pocket.

pos: Sticky is subjective, but I don't think of it as sticky at all. It is slip-resistant, to be sure, but it's never gotten stuck to my pockets. :-) it slides.

pos: It's not too sticky it's smooth but has a good grip. I put it in my back pocket and a side pocket in my bag and it's not a hassle taking it out for me personally unless it's a tight spot


query: I have a set of these at home but after awhile the start rocking from side to side. I want to replace mine, does yours rock?

pos: I have had no problems with mine, of any kind. My grandchildren use them all the time.

pos: No not at all, but what I do is to use a little bit of 3-in-one oil or something of the same to keep the track free and moving. This will keep me from handeling it in a rough manner and my family as well. I had a few of these before so this method I found to be helpful. I hope this helped you in some way. Cheers.

pos: No, they were a gift and I got to see them and they were beautiful. They loved them and they are not the set that they are selling in the stores.


query: Can the H-1 sight be mounted on the slide of a .45 semi-auto pistol and withstand repeated firing?

pos: mine is on an AK 47 above the gas tube and holds up fine to the heat, there would be a little shock to the unit in this spot but probably not as much as on the slide of a semi auto pistol. I would say that it will do fine, it is an Aimpoint after all.

pos: As long as you have a rail on your slide it will work. Check out the daniel defense m4 torture test on YouTube. They blow up and drop one out of a helicopter with an aimpoint optic on it.


query: I have 4 zone speakers. I am planning to get one sonos connect:amp and this unit. Will all my speakers play and can I control volume via Sonos amp.

pos: Not familiar with what all the Sohos amp can do, however this PYLE unit has volume controls (separately) on ;DREEE ANN. 2 THE NNIGHT PRRTICIUPEhannel. Scdaam usays

pos: In looking at your question once more, would have to say this device is intended for wireless microphone input to a powered PA, not transmission of audio to speakers. Suggest looking for wireless speaker transmitter devices.


query: Will the DW 9106 charger work with this battery?

pos: It should work it's just like a car battery charger as long as the voltages right, its just a matter whether it's a trickle charge or a quick charge.

pos: I just got mine today. I am so amazed that I don't want to stop running it through its paces. Everything I read that customers wrote is true.

pos: I own a Oppo BDP-83 Blu Ray and a Oppo 971 1080i upscale DVD player. Oppo is well worth the price tag you have to pay. The 83 in particular is truly awesome, I have never had a disc not play, the upconversion on standard DVD's while not Blu Ray is clearly superior to any DVD player I have owned, which is many since I support 5 set ups. Oppo's will firmware update any time you have an internet connection and ask it to update in the menu.

pos: I've had the 93 since the preorder in November and it has played every disc I've inserted with no problems. I have DVDs, BDs, and SACDs. But I bet your LG played everything fine when it was new.

pos: Yeah, in my case, I know it isn't a firmware issue. At this point, my player no longer reads/plays any discs at all. It is pretty much dead in the water for discs. It can still do online stuff, but I have a 360 for that. I talked to LG and they suggest sending it in for repairs, but I've read nothing but negative comments from people who have tried that route. Thanks for the help with the Oppo. It might be the way to go. If anyone else wants to add their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.


query: it fix to yamaha v star 650 2007

pos: distance between the mounting brackets is 10 3/16 inches on my 600 vlx honda shadow I will have to insert some spacers not much tho so can make it work and it will look on the sissy bar I will haul my golf clubs to the cource


query: Is it possible to get a replacement plastic ring that sits in the middle of the glass?

pos: I could not find one. That is why I bought the entire thing. Had an old one that the ring needed to be replaced. I tried several patio stores that sole replacement parts and finally bought the whole thing.


query: Can we clean the machine with wet towel then dry it

pos: Yes, you can. I wipe my down with a damp dishrag and then dry it with a dish towel quite often as it sits out on my counter and gets splatters and dusty. It's very easy to clean it up. I would never put it in a sink full of water though.


query: Is this made of a canvas material?

pos: No. Ours was not made of canvas...at least not solely of canvas. It is a lighter fabric, probably a nylon type. We also have a heavy-duty canvas umbrella and it is much heavier to carry.

pos: I believe so. I bought the solid blue one & it has an under coating of aluminum. I had no problems staying out of the sun with this umbrella.

pos: I don't believe it is 100% canvas; maybe it is a mix of canvas and something else. It is a sturdy fabric but not as stiff/rough as canvas. We have take it to the beach over a dozen times so far and have not had any problems.

pos: Yes it is made of canvas with a silver metallic material on the inside to help reflect the sun. Very nice umbrella.

pos: Not quite ... More like nylon. A little heavier duty than a typical umbrella and with a silvery gray inner layer

pos: No, is not canvas. Is a light and strong fabric with the best UV protection. Great umbrella.


query: where is the mattress made?

pos: China. I couldn't find any of this type of mattress made in the USA. For my own home, I was able to find a local manufacturer for a traditional mattress. This was purchased for my son to use at college.

pos: Sorry, I have no Idea. It wasn't an issue with me. All I know is I'm very happy with it.

pos: Thanks for the info. When you say "outperformed", what do you mean, specifically? Did the motion look smoother?

pos: Hiya, well, copies are definitely a lower bitrate than the original ones. Now, there's a lot of unofficial PAL dvds circulating around Asia, perhaps it may look an original but it really isn't. The only thing I can think off is setting the OPPO to the NTSC setting(which I'm sure you did) and try outputting the HDMI signal to 540 or 560. The Oppo should convert it to NTSC nonetheless. As for the Jaggies, do you have "sharpness" turned to "on" at the Oppo's picture settings?

pos: Yes the motion is soother, and it didn't pixelize at all. I experienced some pixelization on the Yamaha.

pos: Yes, well, as I mentioned above, the problem went away when I selected "Video2". This is a great DVD player, no question.

pos: Well, I have the 971h, and it is very similar. I tried a Region 6 PAL dvd on the Oppo and it outperformed my YAMAHA that does the converting from PAL to NTSC also.

pos: hello,No, I haven't experienced anything funny in playing PAL discs. One question: are you playing original PAL dvds and not bootlegs? Bootlegs have a lower bitrate. If so, check your settings, PAL OUTPUT should be at 540p-560p@60hz.


query: What version of Windows will this work?

pos: I have Windows 8, and it works perfectly. Not sure what other version of Windows it will work with. I'm sure if you call Rosetta Stone, they will have an answer for you.


query: is there any way i could use these outdoors or do i have to have the power supply indoor and run the lights from there.

pos: unless the outdoor outlet is cover you should run a wire from inside. Getting the plug wet while it's plugged in could short out the outlet and potentially damage the lights. Hope this was helpful!

pos: Your electric Power needs to be protected from the elements. You could use solar/batteries for this as well, but no matter what you use, you have to seal all connections from the weather, wire connectors, tape, combination of all. If your connections are not completely sealed, they will short out what ever power source you use.

pos: You can easily use them outdoors by powering them off a car battery with a solar cell to charge it. The tricky thing about these is they come with wire connections, so you will have to solder or crimp on wires, or put on connectors to use them.


query: Are they as eye catching as the picture suggests?

pos: They are very small. I bought them thinking it would be bigger but they are not. If they are for toddlers that's fine but for kids they aren't really appealing

pos: They are just as brightly colored. I was happy with them. I run a kids activity for the Hilton Apple Fest in N.Y. the kids who got these as prizes were happy. My only gripe, and it's barely anything, is that they're smaller than you might think from the picture. Id but these again.

pos: They are cute, but not as fluffy looking or as nice as the picture suggests. We used them in goody bags at my 3 year old daughter's curious george birthday. The kids liked them, and the parents thought they were cute.

pos: They are smaller than what they look to be in the picture. However, they looked cute as a group and individually.


query: is this also compatible with the canon 5dii?

pos: Yes it would work but save your money and buy a better unbit. This one took too much time to recycle. I ended up selling it.

pos: I would advise that you refer to your owners manual on the 5DII. It should work fine. I get full TTL capability with it on my Canon T3. I like that I can control the flash by adjusting it to over or underexpose by half increments. The only thing I don't like about it is that it only uses two "AA" batteries. This causes considerable recharge time for the capacitors on the flash, but for the price, it is a damn good deal. I get great exposure with the flash knowing how to control the flash. I've always liked Sunpak flashes and you can't go wrong with them. It's your call though. Good luck!i I would advise that you refer to your owners manual on the 5DII. It should work fine.

query: how many db is the sleek cradle

pos: Lester, I'm not really sure. That's something that you probably email the company over. What I will say is I do like it. It doesn't at times increase the number of bars but the signal is in fact stronger, more thru put so to speak.

pos: Wilson claims 26db for this unit. I know it has made a big difference on my coverage.

pos: For the Sleek 3G "Passband Gain (Nominal)", their specs are 20db (typical) / (30db maximum). The 4G models are a little lower". NBC .

pos: I have no idea. I just know it has eliminated dead spots for my Galaxy which had a crapload of them


query: I will use with my iPhone 4S. To make and receive calls either have to have something else?

pos: YES, YOU NEED TO BUY THE BLUETOOT ADAPTER...Dual Bluetooth Hands-Free Module - Built-In Mic with Visor MountBUT IS HARD TO FIND!

pos: YES, YOU NEED TO BUY THE BLUETOOT ADAPTER... http://www.amazon.com/Dual-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Module-Built-In/dp/B000PDR5O6/ref=pd_sim_e_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0V0EQK53S69N5CB5BXSX BUT IS HARD TO FIND!

pos: There is seperate component needed to make the telephone feature fully functional. I have the stereo, but I did not order the kit, but I think it is used to install a hard-wired microphone.

pos: It requires another piece to be bluetooth capable. However, it might be able to make and receive calls while docked (seeing as it's an iphone), I'm not sure.
