On its website, Apple lists "1-800-MY-IPHONE" as the phone number where you can get support for your iPhone in the United States. Phone numbers dialed from your iPhone must contain only numbers, so the Apple number doesn't look right. Apple lists the phone number using only numbers in parentheses after the 1-800-MY-IPHONE number, but many other companies do not. Although you can manually dial a number such as this example, by converting the alphabet to numbers on the fly, you shouldn't save the number with letters in your iPhone's Contacts app.

Although most people prefer to purchase a fireplace plug pillow to stop drafts in an unused fireplace, some opt to make a semi-permanent fireplace plug. The plug installs at the mouth of the chimney rather than at the top. This allows for relatively quick installation and removal without having to climb on the roof. An inexpensive method of building a fireplace plug is to use a piece of 3/4-inch plywood the same size as the inside dimensions of the chimney's mouth.
Typical fireplace design features an outward-sloping rear panel intended to move smoke forward to mix with the dilution air flowing into the fire space. This design is intended to add current to the smoke so that it vents into the flue rather than into the room. The Rumford design of fireplace features a plumb fireback that keeps turbulence to a minimum, allowing more smoke to burn in the firebox. This radiates more heat into the room, and wastes less heat up the chimney.

The cooling system on a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier consists of the radiator, water pump, heater core and engine block. The water pump is driven by the serpentine belt and circulates coolant throughout the engine. This system is a sealed system that is under pressure to maintain a higher boiling point. Occasionally, repairs and leaks can allow air bubbles into the cooling system. Air bubbles can cause problems with the way to coolant circulates and maintains the operating temperature of the engine. The procedure for removing the air bubbles differs slightly between the 2.2 and 2.4 liter engines.

Instead, you can change all layers from combine to replace at the same time using a free script.

Metal fireplace surrounds can be difficult or even impossible to remove from around the fireplace without severely damaging the wall. As a result, plastering over the surround and then either installing a pre-made fireplace surround over the top, or building and installing a new surround yourself is a much more viable prospect.

Rebuilding the transmission of your 1.8 Liter Volkswagen Jetta may save you a considerable amount of money.

A modern take on old-fashioned home heating is the curved tube grate in the wood burning fireplace. This type of grate heats air in the tubes and pushes the air out into the room in a more steady and efficient manner rather than having a majority of the heat generated escape the house through the flue and chimney. Building this blowing grate made of steel tubes requires simple tools and a motorized fan connected to the tubes.
MMI codes, also called man-machine interface codes, are strings of numbers that you can use to program a cellphone to perform certain tasks.

An incorrect MMI code, however, can cause your phone to malfunction, so you should take care to double-check your data entry carefully.

Many fireplace mantels are made of combustible materials. Because of this, there must be a clearance between the mantel and the firebox where the fire is lit, called the fireplace surround. While you can leave this clearance space bare, with the bricks of the fireplace displayed, you can also choose to cover the surround with non-combustible materials, using various tiles or sheets of the material to create a look that’s a better fit with your decor than brick.

It doesn't matter how effective your HVAC system is if your duct system isn't up to par. Ducts are the delivery system for your heating and cooling and they need to be taken care of to ensure optimal performance. If the air in the ducts experiences a lot of resistance, the HVAC system has to work harder to get the warmed or cooled air to its destination. Reducing the resistance in your ducts reduces wear-and-tear on your HVAC motor and helps keep your home comfortable.
As an insulating material, porcelain has strong thermal and electrical resistance properties. Porcelain insulators were commonly used in residential electrical wiring systems in homes built before 1960. And while porcelain makes for a strong and durable material, over time older homes may experience electrical problems that stem from worn-out porcelain insulators.
A fluid bed is a device that is used to evenly coat lures and jig heads with powder paint.

Air infiltration is one of the most common causes of a weakened hydraulic brake system on a Honda Goldwing 1100. Air can enter into the brake circuit if the fluid levels in the master cylinder reservoir drop to a near-empty state, or through pinholes or cracks in the brake hoses. The trapped air compresses under the forces exerted by the hydraulic system, reducing the total output of the brake system. While the front brake system is easily accessible, the rear brake is concealed behind the Goldwing's frame covers and saddlebags.
Before 1995, Ford only offered its customers one minivan choice, the Aerostar, and it did not look much like any minivan of the era. In 1995, Ford “Chyslerized” its minivan, by basically making a minivan that fit the same mold as the popular Chrysler lineup of minivans: short, rounded nose, front-wheel drive and a car-like ride. Each model year throughout the entire nine-year production life, the Windstar always had two engine options, a 3.0-liter V-6 and a 3.8-liter V-6. In the entire production life of the Windstar, there were two different bleeding processes -- the process of eliminating air from…

“Oil rubbed” is a chemical finished applied to several metals, including bronze, to simulate an aged appearance. No two oil-rubbed pieces are the same and the coloring changes over time with use and exposure to moisture and the skin’s oils. The finish partially protects the soft metal from damage, but isn’t completely impenetrable to scratches. It is possible to remove superficial scratches from your damaged oil-rubbed switch plates, faucets and door handles without professional intervention or costly materials.
