Another 7 maintenance Tips for Water Heaters

Maintenance Tip #1 Preparing the water heater

Turn off the power if its an electric water heater. Turn off the water to the water heater by closing the valve on the cold water line. Its located on top of the water heater. The cold line is always to the right. Open a hot water tap inside the house. Air pressure will come out of the tap. Open the drain valve located at the bottom of the water heater. It looks like a hose bibb. Let a gallon or more out of the water heater. Do not allow anyone to use hot water for the time you are working on the water heater.

Maintenance Tip # 2 Removing sediment by dissolving it

You can dissolve sediment by using a descaler called Mag-Erad. It's made by A.O. Smith who also builds water heaters. Use the instructions that come with this descaler, but ignore the part about leaving the gas water heater on. Turn the flame off by setting it to PILOT. The heat without water in the water heater can cause damage to the gas systems. You can also use lye to dissolve sediment. Its very flammable and volatile. A plumber should use this chemical only.

Maintenance Tip #3 Controlling sediment

Sediment can be kept under control if you use softened water. Salt softened water only reduces sediment; it doesn't get rid of the problem and also causes another problem. Anode rods' life expectancy is reduced 50% to 65%. Sediment grows rapidly at 140 degrees. Legionnaires' Disease can grow at temperatures of 115 degrees or less. To keep both of these problems at bay, its best to set your water heater at 130 degrees. Legionnaires' Disease is actually caused by inhaling water vapor rather than drinking infected water. Still, in hospitals the plumbing should be regularly filled with 170 degree water to kill all remaining bacteria.
The only way to check what temperature the water actually is, is to fill a cup of hot water and put a meat thermometer in the cup. If you have a gas water heater, the dial on it can be adjusted until hot water that is 130 degrees is coming out of the tap. Be sure to give the water heater a chance to recover between adjustments on the dial. An hour should do. Some gas water heaters can adjust the size of the flame produced. Look at the center of the control knob and see if a small screw-like button is there. If so, this button can be used to adjust the flame size. If your having trouble getting enough hot water as it is, then leave this alone though. If you have a sediment problem in an electric water heater, have a low-watt density element installed. Don't be fooled by its name. It's not as hot as a high-watt density element, however the surface area of the low-watt is double and heats just as well. The reduced heat slows the production of sediment. If you have high water pressure over 50 psi, then have a plumber install a pressure reduced for your water heater. High pressure causes more sediment build-up.

Maintenance Tip #4 Check water heater plumbing fittings

Check any threaded connections on your water heater for possible leaks. Threaded connections are located on the top of the water heater for both the hot and cold lines running to and from the water heater. The T&P valve which is on to one side of the water heater, may become leaky. It has a plastic pipe connecting it and has a loose metal switch which can be lifted to stand on end. The drain valve can leak. It is at the bottom of the water heater and often looks like a hose bib. The thermostat controls for both gas water heaters and electric water heaters can leak. The gas control has the words ON/OFF/PILOT written on it. The electric control is behind one but usually two metal compartments on the front of the water heater.

Maintenance Tip #5 Steel connections

Rust can occur if steel touches copper or brass. The rust occurs on the steel only on not on the copper or brass. Copper and brass are noble to steel on the Periodic Table. To control this problem on a water heater use a steel nipple with a plastic lining. This allows the water heater, which is steel to touch the steel nipple with no problem. The steel nipple with plastic lining can also touch any copper plumbing because the plastic prevents them from touching. Dielectric unions can also touch steel nipples since their function is to prevent rusting or corrosion.

Maintenance Tip #6 Broken nipples

If the nipple breaks when you remove it with a pipe wrench, grab a flat-end screwdriver and a hammer. Hit the circle opening with the screwdriver and hammer and bend in the ring. Now use the screw driver to pry up the broken nipple. Use a hacksaw blade only to cut the opening slot to the threads if the screwdriver doesn't do the trick. Clean the threads with a pipe tap. Now wrap the new nipple with teflon tap on the threads and install it.

Maintenance Tip #7 Electric heating elements

To check the electric heating elements on an electric water heater, locate the two ports in the front of the water heater. Sometimes there's only one port, but nonetheless, you need to remove them. Here you can see the heating elements are screwed or bolted into the water heater and kept water-tight by a rubber gasket. Remove the element, but only if you've drained the water heater and turned the power off first. Replace the gasket if the rubber has turned hard. Wrap the element with teflon tape if it has threads. Put the tape on the threads and wrap it a couple of times. Hard scale can build-up directly on an electric element. This is rare but it can happen. Scale usually just sloughs off elements and falls to the bottom of the water heater. If enough scale (also known as sediment) falls to the bottom of the water heater, it could bury the lower element. There are two types of heating elements, the high-watt density element and the low-watt density element. The high-watt sloughs sediment off more easily but the total amount of sediment is greater due to the higher temperatures. A low-watt creates lower overall sediment because it is not as hot, but it still heats up the water just as well because it has double the surface area. It tends to get flakes of scale directly on itself more easily though. In most instances, the low-watt density element will cause fewer problems. Elements may be cleaned. Use a toothbrush and vinegar to gently clean the sediment off of them. If your anode rods have become heavily deteriorated, then this can affect your elements. Corrosive actions between the copper on the sheath of the element and the steel of the water heater's tank can sprout slow leaks and destroy the elements. If your elements are burning out frequently after replacement, the anode could be to blame.

Tattoo, Anyone?

Skin art has been one of the top choices for fashion and style among celebrities and even common, adventurous people. Even though there are threats of biological side effects, a lot of providers have eradicated the worries of possible detrimental effects to the bodies. Aside from that, if it was connoted to be a prisoner's identity before, the present times do not. Nowadays society has learned to accept civilized citizens wearing skin accessories as a form of fashion statement or self-expression. Moreover, as art has been the source of inspiration for many, services for permanent and temporary body designs in the form of tattoos have been offered to the public to cater to individual preferences and needs.

In getting a skin art, you have to decide whether it will be a temporary or a permanent one. Likewise, you also need to decide in what area of your body it will be placed. Then, when you have made up you mind, consider scanning through tattoo designs from your artist. The fun part is that you can also make your own designs for tattoo which will be enhanced further, and turn into stencils by the person who will later draw it on your skin! "Personalize it" as they say!

Some of the commonly used designs for tattoo are anime characters, celestial objects, nature elements and zodiac signs for the youth. For adults, usual tattoo designs are large animal prints, tribal patterns, names, armband styles and even abstract art, to name a few.

While tattoo inks and henna are used to print various art patterns on the body, there are new additions to this style. Artificial or glue-on rhinestones are also used to accentuate the art, as most women love to add extra effect to their skin art. You can also test a tattoo on yourself by wearing a fake 'transfer' tattoo that is totally safe and it could be erased after sometime. But for those who wanted a permanent one, they can have tattoos and at the same time, accessorize the details of the tattoo design with actual precious stone piercing.

It really is essential that you search out the very best dream designs for tattoos before you commit to one for the rest of your life, and you can get more ideas and examples of all the styles we just discussed right here: http://www.squidoo.com/Designs-For-Tattoos

How to Recover Deleted Emails and Restore Them Completely

It can happen to anyone. We accidentally delete an email that we really need. And it just happened to be important work file, attachment or picture. So now what? How can I recover that email? Is it at all possible? Surely, it can be permanently deleted?

Well, there is good news and bad news.

Let's start with the good news.

Restoring Deleted Emails

If you delete an email, it hasn't really gone anywhere. Even if you've emptied your recycle bin or the "Trash" folder in your Inbox - the email still isn't deleted. It's just that your computer system now has no way to figure out where it is. But it's there, still on your hard drive. By using special email recovery tools you can recover deleted emails because these programs identify these 'missing' files and can bring them back to life.

Now the bad news.

Act Quickly and Increase Your Chances

The bad news is you have to act quickly. You only have a small time-frame in which to try to attempt to recover your lost email. Every minute that you waste and continue to use the drive for anything that isn't related to recovering your emails, you severely decrease your chances of successful email recovery. Why?

Well, because your hard drive is constantly overwriting files to make space for new information you put into it. If your hard drive is full and there is not much space or memory available - it is highly probable that the email has already been overwritten and deleted - permanently.

Other Problems with Recovering Deleted Emails

Not all deleted or lost emails go to "Trash" folder. If you have suffered a computer crash or hardware failure or your operating system is corrupted in some way, then it is unlikely that emails you have deleted can be recovered.

Also, if you haven't opened the email at all or it hasn't been deleted the usual way due to file corruption, you probably will have less of a chance to recover and restore the email in its entirety.

Nothing to Lose

Recover deleted email programs search and locate the emails that you have deleted. You can search by entering a specific keyword for example. Then, you can choose to preview the email to see it's contents and if it's been recovered in its original state by the program. You can also select to scan for what ever email program you are using (and need to recover) - either web based emails such as Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail or Outlook Express.

Best bit is this. Most of these email recovery programs are free to download. When they start scanning your hard drive looking for the deleted email and then manage to find it and when you are completely satisfied that that's your missing email - then you can then proceed to purchase the software.

In essence, you have nothing to lose (if the email is not there - it's not there) and everything to gain.

Well, at least you can get your deleted email back.

Hypnotizing Your Opt-ins With Effective Email Promotions That Sell Like Hot Cakes

Writing an email is a combination of marketing formulas and psychological triggers for you to buy. As some online business expert call it is 95% rules and formulas and 5% creativity.

A. Opt-in customers already have an established relationship with the sender.

If the email customer you are mailing knows you well there is a good chance that your email will be opened and read, especially if it is from:

B. The offer is relevant to their needs:

You need to know your target audience and tailor to their needs. As the product you are selling is fulfilling the requirement of the market, they will be excited to know what is new and will open the email as soon as they see it.

C. If the subject line tells them that email has special for a low price offer.
Pricing always makes a difference and specially if the buyer is aware of the current market price of the product and the offer is saving substantial percentage.

This kind of effective email needs a plan how to write it?

1. What is your ultimate goal with this email.

Subscribe to your email list, sign up for a newsletter or purchase a product. Promotions that focus on a single offer pull much better results that promotions that include several offers, so it is important that you clearly define your focus right away.

2. What is the reaction of the reader to your call for action?

Think in terms of benefits. Once they read the email how will they respond to the goal of the email. Is it to sign for a newsletter or to buy the product. Explain the benefits that will bring the results you are looking for.

3. There has to be an urgency in your statement:

As without an urgency, the reader reads the email and persuaded by the benefits thinks of doing it when there is some time. Then it goes in the background and email is forgotten. Urgency is very important. But this urgency should look like real, fake urgency does not appeal to the reader.

4. Numerous compelling benefits with urgency will make them react right away to the call to action. Benefits.

Multiple benefits should always to written with bullets and very short. This reinforces the idea of multiple benefits and focuses the reader to act right away. If you are writing a single benefit in the email then explain in detail in a personal way to get the best out of this one benefit.

5. The size of the email.

Generally a bullet generated email is longer and therefore, it can be little longer than a letter size page.
Where as a personal email with bullets should not be longer than ¾ the of a page.

6. The best spots for the links:

The link to your website should not be written early in the email. It should always be after you have written the benefits with the bullets., or even close to the end. In case a Free offer is presented in the email then your link can be written early in the email

7. Who is the audience you are targeting?

What is your relationship to the customer should be described in the beginning to remind the customer the reason why you are writing all this. For example if they bought a product from you in the past or signed up for your newsletter mention it. Thanks for buying my product (write the name or brand of the product).

8. How to address your reader and yourself in the email.

Call your reader by name and you decide that when you plan to write the email. "We" does not seem the right way to talk to your customer. For yourself trying using "I". Keep this voice of "I" and "YOU" constant.

9. Your Contact Information:

At the end of the email provide you email addresses or other contact information that you want to have. It is very important for writing an email. This provides credibility to your email and you. This also makes you comply with the Can spam act.

10. Always write a P.S. in your email, as it has been observed that all email readers read P.S. attentively.

Many writers prefer to write the biggest benefit in P.S. to take advantage the psychological trigger.

Hypnotizing the reader with compelling benefits;

The most effective promotions grab the reader's attention with compelling benefits that speak directly to the readers deepest desire and greatest fears. Benefits build the value you need to drive people to act when presented with your call to action.

Choosing your tone and transferring the ownership:

Most profitable emails are written in a simple and conversational style. All marketing campaign transfer the ownership of the product to the reader slowly. For example telling the customer about your product transfer the feel of ownership "to help you to take advantage of the special low price we have made the payment plan really affordable for you with monthly installations" This feel of owning the product makes them feel the product their own all they have to do is pay for it. And since it is on easy payments it is even easier.

Where to Find Valuable Antique Guns

People tend to build different collections; one of the most common and popular, especially among men, is collecting antique guns. Guns have always a great appeal to men, but in any case vintage guns have a rather important historical value. This definitely adds to the interest and thrill of collectors. Starting a vintage guns collection is quite simple if you follow particular steps and tips.

Before starting building the collection you should always define what kinds of antique guns you want; what historical period would they reflect and represent? Deciding on that can be crucial because you can check online or find valuable resources that can inform you on the available guns from that particular time. A help guide is necessary at the beginning, because it can save money and time, especially when not experienced enough yet. You don't need to spend serious amounts of money on wrong or unnecessary items.

If you are thinking to build a collection of world war guns, you can check the various gun shows that take place annually in different states; they usually feature large collections and selection of antique guns and they are even sponsored by accredited institutions. These exhibitions and shows can prove to be a very useful guide when building your gun collection. You can also acquire credible and accurate information on several different types of guns, the units that used them or historical facts related to them.

Among the avid collectors the most popular and appreciated antique guns are the ones that belong to different centuries, or the ones used in specific occasions and events. Some of the most known collectors in the world own guns from the beginning of the previous century, and some of them have antique photographs that depict the events that took place during this time.

New Algorithmic Mail Sorter for Gmail

Gmail is the web mail service provided by Google. Presently it has a storage capacity of 7450 MB. It used the Ajax programming technique which made it a hot favorite among the software developers around the world. The privacy of the mails send through the Gmail was always a question raised by the users. Usually Google monitors the mails to add content- sensitive advertisements and also the mails send from other servers to Gmail users.

The Google Company has introduced a new technology called the priority inbox for its users. This is a new application equally useful for professionals and for other users. This application will automatically sort the emails in your inbox according to its importance. It is always a problem that our inbox gets loaded with a lot of unwanted mails. It takes a longer time to go through each mail and to find which all are relevant mails and which are advertisement mails. The problem is even more severe if you check your mail after a long instance.

According to the priority sorter there will be three classes of mails. It will sort the emails in your inbox into emails that are important and unread, emails that are starred and finally the everything else category. Generally the emails will be sorted into the important category or everything category and the starred category is for flagged mails and for those mails that need future reference. The algorithm is a keyword based one. The priority of the emails is assumed from the general emails we open and also from the contacts from our inbox. This new algorithmic email sorter will be of great help for the professionals who are getting hundreds of mails per day. This is a time saver option and this will make Gmail in demand for business professionals.

Sex Worker and Idus In Bangladesh is Vulnerable of HIV/AIDS

Although Bangladesh continues to be a low prevalence area, it is surrounded by high prevalence countries (High prevalence of HIV/AIDS in neighboring India). We however must not adopt a complacent attitude in respect as our country has all the determinants for an explosive outbreak of HIV/AIDS epidemic. Curses of poverty, illiteracy, ignorance, proximity of Bangladesh to the so-called 'Golden Triangle' & high prevalence of STDs, make our country seriously vulnerable. Drug use increases the HIV risk and can start very early-for example, glue-sniffing by youngsters living or working on the streets. The danger of becoming infected with HIV by sharing injecting equipment is well known, and real. Unemployment, slum housing, family fragility, frequent cross-border movement of people, lack of information, unsafe blood transfusion, physical and sexual abuse-that create a "risk environment" of violence for many young people in the region. In addition increased number of migrant workers, unsafe practice in health service, unsafe sex practice etc. movement of population, less use of condom, polygamy, homosexuality, extra-marital relations, further increases the susceptibility.

In Bangladesh, the intravenous drug users (IDU) are the most potential carriers of HIV/AIDS among the vulnerable groups in the country. The fourth round of national HIV and behavioural surveillance report showed that the HIV infection rate among the injection drug users (IDUs) is now 4 per cent, up from 2.5 per cent previously which is just short of the 5 per cent mark of a concentrated epidemic. About 93.4 per cent IDUs in central Bangladesh admitted that they share same syringe while taking drugs. Even they use the same syringe several times for taking drug.

UNCDP estimates that between 500,000 and 1,00,000 people in Bangladesh are addicted to drugs. Although HIV rates are comparatively lower (one per cent) among the sex workers but Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) rates are still quite high (20 per cent) among this group.

On the other hand, brothel-based female sex workers in Bangladesh report the highest turnover of clients than anywhere in Asia (an average of 18.8 clients per week).

Meanwhile, most of the people of country are unaware about the deadly disease. The 1999-2000 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey found that only 31 per cent of married women and 50 per cent of newly married men had heard of AIDS. Over 90 per cent of rickshaw pullers could not identify a single method of HIV prevention.

About 13,000 to 17,000 people are living with the incurable virus in Bangladesh, according to the UNAIDS report 2001.

According to the National AIDS Committee and surveillance team members and experts, the rate is quite alarming as it remains one per cent less than the highest five per cent HIV epidemic index. The rate of HIV/AIDS remains less than one per cent among the other vulnerable groups -- truckers, migrant workers, gay, hijras (hermaphrodites), professional blood donors, heroin smokers and, hotel, brothel and street based commercial sex workers.

Bangladesh is bordered with India, the second largest HIV infected country in the world; the country is therefore at high risk for the HIV epidemic, said Morten Giersing, UNICEF's country representative.

A Brat of Enjoyment

A brat is a staple in many areas of the world and there is good reason for this. There are few things more delicious than a brat. How brats are made, cooked, and served are important parts of the "brat experience." Thankfully these are relatively simple processes.

Perhaps the most difficult part of making brats is finding a meat grinder and sausage stuffer. These are no longer as common an item as they once were. If you possess these things you can make homemade brats very simply. In your meat grinder place 1 pound pork and 1 pound veal and seasonings. For seasoning use marjoram, caraway seed (crushed) all spice, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use ¼ teaspoon of each. The first time you make this recipe stay with the original recipe after that you can change any of the ingredients that seem too strong or not strong enough. Stuff the mixture into medium sausage casing. If you do not have access to a meat grinder and sausage stuffer you can buy excellent brats at your local butcher shop or grocery store.

Once you have your brats you need to know the right way to cook them. The best way to cook a brat is to first simmer in beer and then grill. To simmer, cut up a small onion and place in skillet with brats. Pour a can of beer over the mixture and slowly cook until brats are thoroughly done but not brown. Remove from skillet and place on grill. Grill over a low heat until the skin on the brat "pops". When this happens you will hear a snapping sound and the skin will split slightly. When this occurs your brats are ready to serve.

How you serve your brats is as important as how you cook them. Do not serve brats on a hot dog bun. Instead look for brat rolls or hard buns. These have a more savory flavor and complement the brat well. For condiments use onions (grilled or raw), sauerkraut, and brown mustard. This combination of sweet and tangy is what brats are all about!

If sweet and tangy sounds delicious to you give brats a try. The easy to make and easy to serve treats are sure to please. Nothing will make barbecue guests leave more satisfied than a fat, juicy brat.

Adult Friend Finder Reviews - Is It A Big Scam Or Genuine Fun For All?

Switch to Decaf Coffee!

Coffee is well known as a popular beverage that contains high level of caffeine and stimulants. Caffeine is the where the bitter taste of coffee comes from and it is also used as drugs in the medical field. There are people who are addicted to coffee and they consume more than 2 cups of coffee per day. The over dosage of caffeine might lead to insomnia, heart palpitations, caffeine intoxication and sleep disorders. That is why they came up with decaf coffee, or also known as decaffeinated coffee.

Decaf coffee is produced when more than 95% of the caffeine content is removed from the coffee beans. This alternative is made especially for those who cannot resist taking coffee. Years ago, coffee is decaffeinated by steaming the coffee beans for 30 minutes and then followed by treating them with methylene chloride solvents to leach out caffeine. The beans are washed repeatedly with methylene chloride and steamed for another 10 hours to remove the residue of chemicals. But due to the fear of chemical residues in the coffee beans, people started to oppose usage of the processing method. The chemicals used to flush out caffeine might cause cancer and risk consumer's health.

A safer way of decaffeinating the coffee beans is by using the Swiss Water process. Unroasted beans are soaked in hot water to get rid of the caffeine. The beans will be drained after releasing caffeine into the hot water. Throughout this repeated process, these are soaked and filtered until they are 99.9% caffeine free. Next, the beans are dried and roasted, but they lack in flavor and aroma.

After decaffeinating, the coffee produced is devoid of the original taste and it is said to be less fragrant compared to normal coffee. It is the caffeine that gives its unique taste and by decaffeinating the beans, decaf coffee naturally loses the penetrating original flavor. It is hard to switch from coffee to decaf coffee at once as it tastes milder. The alternative is to switch slowly by using 1:1 ratio for decaffeinated coffee and original coffee, then the ratio is slowly increased to replace original coffee.

There are a lot of benefits from drinking coffee at a moderate amount of 1 to 2 cups per day. Antioxidants help prevent aging and it is also present in decaf coffee. So why not enjoy a milder version with the natural benefits without having the need of experiencing the stimulation of caffeine?
