Never heard them called Thumb drives Ive heard them called memory sticks.
Sams Club also sells them in a package of about five or six. Cant
remember the price.

Tom, I bought 2 blank cartridges from Independent
Living Aids while they still had them in
stock. For me, they are much easier to use and I
don't have to worry about a thumb drive sticking
out of the side of the player. When 2 gig
cartridges become available, I may buy those. It

Tom, I agree. The audio quality is very good and
the player is well designed. It is simple enough
for an elderly person and yet, it has some
features for those who want to go beyond the
simple. I have the advanced model and like it.

It is the size. My apple shuffle is about the
size of a baby bic lighter, holds more and is
just as accessible. For the size its a monster to
carry and my shuffle slips into a pocket anywhere
you like. The shuffle is even smaller then its cartridges.

Not that I have any immediate plans of rewiring, but this question popped
in my head. I think I've seen a comment about this here before.
If you are wiring a switch to a light fixture, do you:
#1: Run a set of wires from the power source to the switch, and a set of
wires from the switch to
Hi Dan
Step One
(Refer to Figure 1.) Connect the ground (bare wire) wire to the device box
and cut it off approximately one inch past the ground screw.
Connect the black wire to one screw and the white wire (hot) to the other
screw on the switch.
Figure 1.
Note: This is the only time
Actually, the third choice is the best one. Unless it is a 3 way switch, all
you need to do is break the black wire. What usually happens is the line is
run from a power source, be it an outlet or a breaker box or any number of
other options. Then the line runs through the switch box and on
I don't like the sounds of that one at all. I agree 14 gauge is code in this
country for lighting, but 12 is the acceptable for most outlet power.
Beyond that, you don't want to be mixing colors in the middle of a run.

Aloha everyone, My name is Sheryl and I am a long time friend of
Betsy. She has told me about this list and I finally joined and have
been reading the incoming emails.
I bought my first house three years ago and have done an extensive
remodel, renovation or improvement, call it what you like.
Aloha Sheryl,
So glad you have finally joined us. I just know
you'll enjoy your time here. Your house is great,
and I mentioned your cool-wall paint on this list
and told them the results of my scientific
experiment that I conducted by placing my hand on
the wall and how amazed I was at the
Dan,
The standard is pretty much your option 2. You run the power to the light
fixture (octagon box) as well as the switch leg. If you're using standard
Romex for the switch leg, connect the white to the black power source and the
black (switched leg) to the fixture so that the fixture gets

Choice 1 and 2 are both ok. Mostly choice. Many electricians like to run the
power in the ceiling and drop off for the switch. Others prefer to run power
horizontally through the studs catching outlets and switches, then running a
line up to the light. Yes the white wire in number one is

The easiest way to explain wire a switch. Think of a solid black wire running
from the power or line through a switch box to the light. and the same of the
white. Now cut the black wire in half and put one half of the black wirer on
the screw of a switch and the other half on the other screw.
hello sheryl and welcom from jim in minnesota.

I believe the reason it is larger is so that
elderly people and people with physical
disabilities can use it. Those smaller players
have small buttons which are not as easy to
use. If you fashion a carrying strap, the player is easier to carry.

14 gauge wire is for a 15 amp circuit and 12 gauge wire is for 20 amp
circuits. It doesn't matter if it is for lighting or for a outlets, as long
as you stick the amp rating.

Tom, yep, that's a cartridge. Just treat them
like a thumb drive. You will need a cable to go
with them. The cable is a standard cable so,
unlike the cartridges, the cable can be purchased from an electronics outlet.

Choice two is the more common. You bring power to the junction box in the
ceiling and break the black which runs down to the switch then comes back
white. If it is double switched then it comes back white but the reds are
joined in the junction box to form an alternate path.

The cartridge I saw only fit the players. If
there are cables for it they are proprietary to the unit.
