Later that night, I watched in fascination as he tried to fit my entire foot into his mouth. Never one to shy away from a bit of adventure, I got my very first pedicure the next day. I have always prided myself on my open-mindedness when it comes to sex: with past boyfriends, I have learnt to avoid accidental candle-wax burns, perfected the art of tying a square knot and squeezed into a seriously uncomfortable white PVC nurse's uniform.
Richard and I headed off to Selfridges, where he watched me try on seven pairs of shoes before I picked out some red leather Sigerson Morrison kitten heels. The feeling of spending more than £200 on shoes was a bit like losing my virginity - my palms were sweating as I handed over my credit card, I was racked with nervous anticipation and the entire transaction took less than two minutes.
And, for a while, I was in heaven. I loved the idea that I was fulfilling his deepest fantasies, he seemed to adore me, and he gave a mean foot massage. But it wasn't long before I started to wonder if his obsession with my size eights was eclipsing everything else in our relationship. He could not become aroused unless he was in direct contact with my feet, and my sex drive started shrinking at the same rate that my shoe collection was expanding. Hot sex took a back seat to hot baths, with him wielding a pumice.
Almost all my girlfriends have had an experience with someone whose fetishes left them sexually out of sync. "I had a boyfriend who was really into being dominated," says Alice, who has a very normal day job in property. "It was fun at first, but sometimes I didn't feel like having to brandish a whip after a tough day at work, and he didn't want to have sex any other way. In hindsight, I think he was a bit selfish."
As for Richard and me, our fledgling relationship hit the skids a few weeks later after I found out that he had sucked another girl's toes at a party. It was probably for the best, since the constant pressure to perform was getting pretty exhausting and I found myself uttering the phrase: "Were her arches higher than mine?" I ditched the strappy sandals, tended to my blisters and lived in flip-flops for weeks.
We stayed in touch, though. In fact, I met him recently for coffee with his girlfriend. After a year together, they looked blissfully in love, and I couldn't help noticing that her toenails were covered in glossy red lacquer so immaculate that I could almost see my reflection.
So it seems that there is someone for everyone. Right now, I'm hunting for a guy whose sexual tastes are a bit more in line with mine. But I definitely gained a lot from the experience - and I'll always have Richard to thank for my killer shoe collection.Reuse content

Passover food, kosher wine and fancy food with a view In honor of Passover, we follow author Joan Nathan on a culinary exploration of the Jewish diaspora and consider kosher wine options with Lou Amdur. An unlikely aficionado takes us on a chocolate chip cookie crawl, and we stop by the Santa Monica Farmers Market for celtuce and mustard greens with Zak Walters. Then journalist Lee van der Voo takes us on a deep dive into the dark waters of the commercial fishing industry.
How California gave birth to Trumpism California served as an incubator for the hard-line conservative thinking that helped propel Donald Trump to the White House. It's an ideology birthed out of opposition to the liberal politics and multiculturalism that now dominate the state.
Symbols of protest, lighting up EDM festivals The Women's March made a huge impact, in part because of its widely worn pink knitted "pussyhat." Does the March for Science need its own unifying symbol? Lighting designer Steve Lieberman is "the man behind the lights" for the country's leading electronic music festivals and nightclubs. He talks about his early experiences with rave culture, and what it takes to spark the excitement of today's EDM fans.
Trump cuts protections for ICE detainees, and Alaska saves Obamacare With the crackdown on illegal immigration, jail space is becoming harder to find. So the Trump administration is cutting back some of the regulations on immigrant detention centers. Also, when it comes to healthcare, Alaska's insurance marketplace was on the brink of implosion until the state came up with a plan to save Obamacare.

Love this place, great food, good value, nice staff. Jens the owner can help with any water sports questions you have and Charly da best!
We have been coming here for a long time. The food is good. The open Mic is a tad boring. Late January however a bunch of us head this really great singer from the US. But unfortunately all the regulars play and we want to hear more of him.
Had the Arepas with fish fall it..unfortunately each contained about one or two 1x1" pieces of fish...so we ate veggie Arepas in our opinion. I did share this and was thanked....generally food is more than generous!
Many of the Cabarete restaurants have a "theme" feel, Irish Pub, French Bistro, Cuban Cantina. VoyVoy is content to have its own vibe, which turned out to be pretty interesting. Staff is super nice and the local chicken and rice was good. If you here for a few days, this is a good choice.
went there 2 couples for dinner, the service was fine, the veranda nice but the food was not good. Could have been the oils they use or sth else but the taste was bad even of the french fries. they need to pay attention to the kitchen and I don't mean the chef.
I just love the place and the vibe , good for lunch , i always got the tuna sandwich but they always have some interesting special,
beach volley tournament great windsurf school, amazing hospitality
We have been going her for some times now while living here just over 3 months! They are wery friendly, have great food and good prices on drinks! Monday is karaoke night, thursday is volleyball night, friday is "just dance" night (xbox game, fantastic) and sunday they have an open mic night!
I would recommend the spicy burger and mojito...
Nice place on the beach close to everything. Good food pleasant staff. Hard to classify the style a bit eclectic.
Had dinner here last night. The food was good. I had a chicken wrap that was very well done. It was a really nice atmosphere and there was a beach volleyball court right beside it. Total bill for two people with one drink each was about 800 pesos. Could be more depending on what you order.
Only had snack food here but what we had was excellent! !! The fish sticks were amazing!!!!
Probably the best ive had!!!!!
The service was excellent considering we were sitting 10 ft from the water!!!

Saturday July 23, RIverside Hotel 1pm, €10
Alto saxophonist and composer Zhenya Strigalev is one of the rising stars of the European jazz scene and he is fast building a reputation on both sides of the Atlantic for his exhilarating take on contemporary jazz. His live shows are as exciting as they are uniquely eccentric, and after headlining around Europe with sold out shows at Porgy & Bess in Vienna and Ronnie Scotts in London he brings his powerhouse trio featuring the extraordinary US bassist Michael Janisch (Joe Lovano, Miguel Zenon, Gary Husband) and first-call Spanish drummer Marc Ayza (Jason Linder, Greg Osby) to blend the lines between jazz, funk, rock, electronica and improv in a genre mish-mash of high calibre interplay and raw emotion.
"A typical Strigalev collision of hip jazz virtuosity and surrealism… Strigalev's alto displays bebop agility, shivery lyricism, or sometimes a bluesy Ornetteish swerve."
★★★★ The Guardian
"An addictive mix of colourful vignettes… Strigalev's group could well be the next big thing in jazz."
★★★★ All About Jazz
"Compelling in its inventive energy… [Strigalev] is an artist who knows jazz's lineage but is unafraid to create his own path."
★★★★ All About Jazz
"Russian-born saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev (long domiciled in the UK) is one of jazz's mavericks. His playing has a mastery which puts him right at jazz's heart."
★★★★ The Telegraph (Ronnie Scotts live review)

All Product Details
Do you feel that you have internal obstacles that prevent or inhibit you from advancing and breaking through, even though in theory you know what needs to be done?
Have you noticed that you exhibit patterns of behavior that hinder you in your personal or professional life that awareness alone does not prevent you from repeating?
Do you have unpleasant feelings, fears, or concerns that prevent you from speaking before an audience, cause you to feel uncomfortable being the center of attention, and block you from advancement in your personal or professional life?
The good news is that this condition is reversible.
Even better news? Through a novel form of psychotherapy called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), the rate of change is faster than ever thought possible.
For example, did you know:
• EMDR is a psychotherapeutic treatment that yields meaningful results within weeks in cases where other methods take months or years to go into effect? Many studies confirm the effectiveness and success of the method within just a few therapy sessions
• Millions of people have already successfully been treated by this method
Inside The EMDR Revolution you will discover the important information you need when feeling distressed or inhibited, as a way to select the appropriate help.
Reading the personal stories contained within will teach you a lot about yourself—what affects you, what motivates you, and what limits you. You deserve a better life. EMDR can help you heal your life, one memory at a time, and live the life you were meant to live.
Why EMDR?
-There are only three evidence-based therapies for trauma: prolonged-exposure therapy (PE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). EMDR was found to help in fewer sessions and does not require homework between sessions, making it the fastest evidence-based therapy there is. It is the classic treatment for veterans and those suffering the effects of traumatic events such as hurricanes and other forms of devastation.
-EMDR is a great supplement for personal-development. After recognizing your limiting beliefs, with EMDR you can reprocess them so you dont need to keep fighting them, and you can free all your energy towards the future.
-We are mistakenly told that there is nothing we can do to change the past, so we need to ignore it and concentrate on the present. But this is not true. The past "hunts" us via our memories. With EMDR we can change the way our past is stored in our brain—and thus the way we are influenced by it—allowing us to change our life one memory at a time.
EMDR is the fastest and most efficient evidence-based therapy available today. It has resulted in 80-90 percent recovery from PTSD in five to twelve hours and was found to be much faster than cognitive behavior therapy. EMDR is the perfect solution for people who are tired of going through long years of therapy for distress or psychological barriers, those who are considering therapy but are daunted by the long-term commitment, those who have found out that awareness, willpower, and determination are not enough for change, and those who want a deep psychological change in an extremely short period of time. As psychiatrist and professor Bessel A. van der Kolk said, "The speed at which change occurs during EMDR contradicts the traditional notion of time as essential for psychological healing."

Cochrane for Clinicians
Putting Evidence into Practice
Interventions for Preventing Falls Among Older Adults Living in the Community
Am Fam Physician. 2017 Feb 1;95(3):152-153.
Author disclosure: No relevant financial affiliations.
Clinical Question
Are interventions for preventing falls effective for older adults living in the community?
Evidence-Based Answer
Structured exercise programs and home safety interventions reduce both the rate and the risk of falling among community-dwelling adults 65 years and older, whereas multifactorial assessment and intervention programs reduce the rate of falls but not the risk of falling. Vitamin D supplementation does not reduce the rate of falls or risk of falling in all patients. Education about fall prevention does not significantly reduce the rate or risk of falling.1 (Strength of Recommendation: B, based on inconsistent or limited quality patient-oriented evidence.)
Practice Pointers
One out of every three persons 65 years and older falls each year, and falling once doubles a person's chances of falling again.2 One out of every five such falls causes a serious injury, such as broken bones or a head injury.3 In addition, falls have a large economic impact on society. The average cost of hospitalization for a fall-related injury among persons older than 65 years is more than $17,000, not including indirect costs such as loss of productivity.4 Identified risks include lower body weakness, poor balance, home hazards, vitamin D deficiency, and medication use.3

How To Find Affordable Pallet Wrapping Equipment For Sale
If your company is in need of equipment that is used for wrapping pallets, then you may be concerned about the price and how many pieces of equipment you will be able to afford. The better the deal, the more pieces you should be able to purchase. Therefore, take a few moments to review the following ways in which you can save money on the purchase of this equipment. Look At Auctions You will want to make it a point to check out any auctions that are within driving distance of you. However, you will want to make sure that you are focusing on auctions for warehouses. These will be the auctions that will most likely have exactly what you are looking for. Depending on the auction company that is running the event, you may be able to get in contact with them ahead of time to confirm whether or not there will be any pallet wrapping equipment going up on the auction block. This way, you will know which auctions to skip out on attending if they are not going to have exactly what you are looking for. Also, some auctions allow a pre-sale, where for a set price, you can purchase something before the auction ever starts. This allows you to secure the equipment that you want for your business without having to worry about any competition getting in the way. Watch For Warehouses Going Out Of Business If you keep an eye out and your ears open, you may occasionally come across some warehouses that are going out of business. When you catch wind of that, you will want to contact the management of the warehouse. Ask who you can talk to about the purchase of any pallet wrapping equipment that they may have. While you may have to wait to obtain the equipment until they are completely done with their last day of work, you can secure the purchase of it. This will help you get a great deal on the price and you may even be able to work a deal to have them deliver your new equipment to your place of business. With just those two points in mind, you should see that purchasing affordable pallet wrapping equipment really is something that you are going to be able to do. All you have to do now is determine how many machines you need and start your search. For more information, contact local professionals like Fox Packaging...read more
Three Reasons Why You Need The Right Size Of Industrial Valve
Are you a manager or purchase officer for an industrial company or factory? If so, saving money is likely one of your main duties. You have to purchase the right materials, but you also have to find the cheapest ones possible so that your company's budget doesn't go out of whack. However, finding the least expensive valves and connections might not always be the best idea. Here are three reasons to look for valves that fit properly and allow the proper rate of flow. Volatile Flow Using the wrong size of valve can result in volatile flow rates. Small valves will throttle the flow of fluid or gas, blocking a lot from getting through in a timely manner. A too-small valve can also increase pressure, much like placing your thumb over the opening of a garden hose makes the water pressure increase as it shoots out of the hose. A too-big valve, of course, can let too much fluid or gas through, creating more pressure as the fluid or gas hits smaller valves or narrower pipes down the line. Safety Factors and Failure Another problem, and one that's related to too much pressure, is early failure. The valve can pop off or crack as the high-pressure flow hits the valve repeatedly. Even if the valve has sensors that cause the system to shut down, that still results in lost time and work as your techs have to find the problem and get the system started again. Plus, if any of the liquid or gas escapes due to a crack or failed valve, that could hurt your workers. Plain, cool water might not be much of a direct threat (though an electrocution risk forms if there's electrical equipment in the area), but hot water, steam, noxious gases, and other substances can directly harm people in the area. Noise Another problem, especially with valves that are too big, is noise. All that extra fluid or gas, roiling around through a huge valve cavity, can create more noise as it travels through the valve. The noise can sometimes be so loud that people in other parts of the building can hear it, meaning it's at the very least a nuisance if not an outright occupational hazard. To find the right size of valve for your equipment, contact companies that can produce custom valves to see what their prices are. You may be able to find bulk deals that help you control costs while letting the equipment run normally. Contact a business, such as Van Valve Service Centre & Sales Ltd valve repair, for more information....read more
Dealing With Employee Theft? 3 Ways To Protect Tools & Supplies From Dishonest Employees
Employee theft is a growing problem, especially in industries that regularly use tools and supplies that are easy to resell for cash or trade for other items. This problem is especially prevalent on large job sites or in specific industries where employees frequently work with little or no supervision, such as the construction and oil and gas industry. If your company is being targeted by one or more dishonest employees, the following ideas can help you safeguard valuable tools, equipment and supplies until the thieves can be identified and dealt with. Add Oversight While it is important to ensure that employees can quickly access the tools and supplies they need to perform their work, having no oversight for the process creates an environment that allows the unethical employee to steal all too often. To avoid this, add oversight by creating a mandatory sign in / sign out system for expensive tools and supplies. To add even more security to this process, institute a policy that requires the signature or initials from two employees – one as the employee who is signing the item in or out and the other who signs off as a witness to the transaction. The presence of a witness can be an effective deterrent to all but the most brazen thief. Increase Organization Keeping work areas neat and well organized is another way to help limit employee theft. Storage and work areas that are allowed to become cluttered create opportunities for dishonest employees to easily conceal items that they want to steal. They simply hide the items among the clutter, knowing they can retrieve them easily as they leave the area at the end of the workday. Improve Storage If your company is dealing with a serious employee theft issue, it may be time to limit access to valuable materials, tools and supplies by placing them under lock and key or removing them from the work site. This can be done easily by adding secure storage to a temporary work site with a portable storage container. This type of storage container can be easily equipped with a coded access point, security lighting and a security camera that can allow upper management to oversee and retain a record of any employee who accesses the unit. If the work site is permanent, using a reputable industrial storage facility near your business will allow the company to keep large quantities of valuable materials, supplies and equipment safe and secure. Employees with proper security clearance can be scheduled to pick up needed items and deliver them to the work site. This will greatly limit the opportunities for employee theft while providing secure storage for company property. Contact a local company, such as County Stor-All, for further...read more
The Common Types Of Mechanical Insulation, Compared
There are numerous insulation materials for mechanical needs on the market currently. Each one has their benefits and drawbacks. Therefore, you should understand the best one to use in your situation. Here are the most common types: Fiberglass This is the most popular type of insulation used today. Due to the way it is made, with its fine weaving strands of glass, it is able to reduce the amount of heat transferred. However, the main drawback is that it can be dangerous to handle it. Because of the silicon that is woven so finely, the glass powder, and the small glass shards, it can damage your lungs, eyes, or even skin if proper safety precautions are not taken. However, it is possible to minimize health risks if you wear a breathing mask with an air filter attached. Cellulose This type of mechanical insulation is maybe the most eco-friendly. It is made out of paper and other materials that have been recycled. There is no oxygen in cellulose, which means it can be a great material for resistance against accidental fires. Its cost is also relatively low. Polyurethane Foam This is not the easiest type of insulation to find, but it can be an excellent choice. Currently, polyurethane foam is having less of an impact on the ozone layer due to the non-chlorofluorocarbon gas that it emits. It is also relatively lightweight and fire resistant. Polystyrene This is a waterproof foam made of thermoplastic. It has great insulation from sound and temperature, which is especially useful for mechanical applications. There are two main kinds of polystyrene insulation: XEPS (styrofoam) and EPS (expanded). Polystyrene is much smoother than other types of insulation, and can easily be cut into uniform blocks. While it is more likely to catch fire than other types, a simple coating of fireproof chemicals, such as HBCD (Hexabromocyclododecane) – can greatly reduce this risk. Depending on your project, a lighter material like polyurethane may be the best bet, or you might value eco-friendliness more and opt to use cellulose. Whichever you choose, make sure you understand the basic properties of the material. Most importantly, always wear safety equipment such as eye protection and breathing masks if you are working on such a project. Even better, call in a professional to consult and perhaps install the material for you to achieve the insulation that meets your cost, quality, and time needs. To learn more about insulation, contact a company like Dewar Western...read more
An Inexperienced Property Owner's Guide To Water Well Installation
While it may be convenient to be able to tap into a local water supply and feed your household with all of the water necessary for everyday life, being completely self-sufficient when it comes to your residential water supplies is a very rewarding thing. If you have been considering having a water well installed on your property, the questions about the process will no doubt be mounting in your mind. Here are a few of the biggest questions inexperienced property owners usually have about water well installation and the answers you definitely need to know. Do all areas have the possibility of having a well installed? Most property owners should have access to groundwater supplies at some point on their property, especially if they have several acres available. However, it may be more difficult to find an adequate groundwater supply if you do not have a great deal of land. Even though the ground may be rich with water in your area, it is not uncommon for someone to have to get permission from surrounding property owners if a sufficient supply cannot be found with the property perimeters. How much should you expect to pay for well installation? It can be difficult to give a direct price quote on the cost of well installation because there are many different factors that can come into play. For example, the difficulty of accessing the water and how deep a groundwater supply is are major determining factors. However, in general, you should expect to pay between $15 and $30 per foot for your well to be installed in your property and the underlying ground does not boast difficult terrain. How difficult is it to maintain a water well? The biggest responsibility as a well owner is keeping tabs on the quality of the water supply that you have inside. This can be accomplished with simple at-home testing kits that will show you simple contaminants if they are present. However, thorough testing is a little more intensive, involving sending water samples to an environmental testing lab or hiring a contractor to check out your well for you. Most well owners do find that what little time and effort they put into their well is well worth the investment of time in the end. Even though implementing a water well on your property can sound like a lot of work, in the end, you will find that every step is worth what you obtain in the end. Talk to a water well drilling expert, such as G Hart & Sons Well Drilling Ltd pump inspections, if you have additional questions and...read more
If You Want Your Welding Equipment To Last, You Need To Maintain It
You probably know a little welding, and have practiced on your farm gear and equipment. However, many people who weld never had formal training, so they don't know how to maintain their equipment. Welding is dangerous, and if you don't take the proper precautions, you put yourself at risk. Maintain Your Welding Gear You likely have either a stick welder or an MIG welder. With both of these pieces of equipment, you have to practice a little maintenance. With stick welders, there isn't a lot you can do as far as the interior of the welder goes, but there are still a few things you can see to. Stick welders (SMAW) – These are older, more traditional pieces of welding equipment. They're found in many agricultural services. If you've never felt a need to check your stick welder's ground clamp or electrode holder, then you should get into the habit of doing so. Unplug and turn off Look for signs of wear on the ground clamp (corroded contacts) Look for signs of wear on the electrode holder (damaged insulators or handles) Really, that's about all you can do with a stick welder. The ground clamp and electrode holder are the only external components. Everything else is inside the welder. If you notice issues with the clamp or holder, you should replace them. For any other issues with your stick welder, you should cease using it and have a professional take a look at it. A lot of dust and other debris can build up inside of the welder. A professional can take it apart and clean each part of it properly. When you're not using your stick welder, you should store it in a dry place. Make sure to keep it in an upright position to keep the rods dry and away from each other. MIG welders (GMAW) – Dealing with your wire welder is a little more complicated. MIG welders have consumables and the gun is made up of multiple parts. It's not hard to maintain a MIG welder; you would do well to make sure yours is in good condition before you attempt a weld. But because there are so many components, there's a lot to look at. Feeder connection – Look for worn O-rings Liner – Clean with compressed air Gun cable – Check for bends and tears Gun handle and trigger – Check that screws are tight, check for damage Contact tips – Check for burns and spatter marks How you treat the consumables can vary, but when you're in doubt, you can just replace them. You should consult your owner's manual, or the manufacturer's website about specific maintenance routines. Not all models work the same way or require the same amount of maintenance. If your welder stops working for you and you don't know why, have a professional take a look at it. If you have pressing welding work in the meantime, have a service that specializes in welding for agricultural equipment come and do it for...read more
Relocating A Business To A New Province: Why You Need Office Movers
Do you need to get a lot of office equipment moved to a new province as soon as possible? Office relocation is easier when you have professional movers doing all of the work on your behalf. Below, find out what professionals can do to make relocating your business more efficient. Why Should Office Movers Be Hired When Relocating to a New Province? Office movers make relocating efficient because they are able to transport a large amount of items in one shipment. Rather than using small trucks, the movers take advantage of semi-trucks that are large enough for possibly everything in your complex (depending on size). The movers will also make sure that your items are strategically packed in the truck for safety. You don't have to worry about anything constructed of glass being placed next to a hard item. The movers can also get you moved fast because they don't waste time carrying large equipment to the truck. Basically, items that are heavy or large will be disassembled for easier handling. Any items that are disassembled will be put back together upon arrival to your new complex. If there is a reason why you don't want anything disassembled, the movers will work as a team to put them large items on the truck intact. Dollies will be used for moving most of the boxes and equipment. Hiring office movers can also save you the hassle of having to purchase your own moving supplies. The boxes, padding, tape and other needed supplies will be included with the services that you purchase. You can even use the supplies if you want to pack up certain things on your own, such as sensitive files that you want to protect. The movers will only pack items that you tell them to. What is the Estimated Price Charge by Office Movers? The price that you are charged to relocate your office depends on the square footage of the complex. The extent of help that you need will also be factored into the overall price. A 1,500 square foot office complex is estimated to cost $750 or more to relocate, but the price can go up to $30,000 for a complex that is 10,000 square feet. You can also be charged by the truck load at an estimate of $500 or more. Speak to an office moving company (such as Babbco Office Services Limited) to set a date and get your business relocated...read more
Why New Garage Doors Are a Smart Remodel
If you are looking for a smart remodel for your home exterior, you should consider investing in new garage doors. This article will explain the benefits of modern garage doors and why it's important to have professionals install and repair your door. The Advantages of Installing New Garage Doors Some people invest in new garage doors simply to upgrade their style, but there is a wide range of other advantages that you may have never considered. New garage door motors are quieter and much more energy efficient. Also, when newer doors are closed they create a better seal against the elements. You can order doors that are built with extra insulation in the panels. A well-insulated and sealed garage will be much more usable and enjoyable. You can use it as workshop or craft room throughout the winter without being uncomfortably cold. Some people even go a step further and install garage doors with port windows to allow more light in. Add some carpet to part of your garage and you are essentially adding another room to your home. Why You Need a Professional Installer First, you should not try to install a new garage door on your own. Garage door installation specialists need to calibrate the door's motor and make sure that the chains have the right tension. If a garage door has a motor that is not properly calibrated, the door could open and close too hard, which might quickly damage the doors and the motor. Also, if the chains do not have the right tension, the weight of the door will cause increased pressure on the motor. This is why it is always a good idea to talk to an installation specialist before you make any decisions. Keeping the Same Door or Motor Most customers do not change every element of their garage door. For instance, one customer might have a perfectly fine motor, but need new door panels. Another customer might have a perfectly new and stylish door, but their motor might be shot, or perhaps they wish to have a door with windows. This is why it is important to consult a specialist. They will be able to inspect your current door and suggest a new type depending on your needs or determine the most efficient, quiet, and affordable garage system for you.

How To Maintain Your Residential Water Pump
Residential water pumps are critical because they help ensure that the excess water that is created by rain or melting snow is funneled safely away from the houses and into areas where it can be purified and used again. If a water pump should stop working, there is a good chance that the houses and buildings that depend on it will be flooded and experience a great deal of damage. As a result, it is important that you make sure that your water pump is in full working order. Follow these steps to maintain your pump, and be sure to contact professionals, such as those from Aquateck West Ltd, for further assistance. 1. Turn Off the Power to the Pump First, turn off the power to the pump by either disconnecting it or turning off the circuit to which it is connected. Then, find the pressure switch. The pressure switch is ordinarily covered by a switch cover that has screws mounted on each corner. Take off the screws and set them aside in an area where they will not be lost. Put the switch cover there as well so that you don't accidentally step on it. 2. Inspect the Contacts Underneath the switch panel, you will find the switch contacts, or the parts of the switch that are connected to one another with wires. Check to see if any of these have any signs of corrosion or damage. If they do, unhook the wires, unscrew the contacts, and then replace them. Otherwise, simply take a damp paper towel and wipe off each switch contact, removing any dirt. Check the paper towel after you're done for any signs of rust. If you find signs of rust, then you missed a corroded contact. 3. Clean More Thoroughly After this preliminary inspection, take an emery cloth and begin to pull it over the contacts. Do this between six and eight times and then inspect the contact. If it is shiny and doesn't have any areas that seem rough, then tit has been cleaned well. If not, continue rubbing the emery cloth over the contacts until the contacts shine. 4. Clean the Aerator Take a screwdriver and remove the aerator at the end of the faucet spot. This will let you clean the aerator more thoroughly by allowing you to dunk it in a basic cleaning solution, let it sit for ten minutes, and then rinse it off. The aerator should shine as well when you are done. 5. Replace the Switch Cover Finally, replace the switch cover by screwing it back into...read more
How To Know If You Need An Emergency Electrician
Knowing when to call an emergency electrician means that you understand the seriousness of the problems that you are experiencing at home. To help you, you can review the following signs that it is time to call an emergency electrician. You Keep Getting Shocked It might only tingle a little and might even cause you to laugh a little if you are someone that loves the thrill of surprises. However, getting even the mildest of shocks can be a sign of a very serious problem. The wiring inside of the outlets or light switches that are causing you to get shocked might be becoming loose. Then again, you might have older aluminum wiring that can be a danger as it starts to get older. The Wiring Does Not Meet Today's Standards Take a moment and grab a screwdriver to remove the light switch and plug plates from the wall. You can easily do this without having to touch the side of the little electrical box. The idea is that you are not to touch the wires inside the box but rather simply look closely at them. Are the wires insulated with cloth or plastic wrapped around them? If it is cloth, then you have very old wiring that may need to be replaced because it may not be suitable to up hold to today's modern needs for electricity and could quickly become overloaded and catch fire. It's Not Safe To Be Near The Water It is important to make sure that the outlets in your bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room have outlets that are Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters, or what is more commonly known as GFCI's. These outlets have reset buttons so that they can be tested for safety and functionality. Not only will these outlets be a lot safer to use when you are near water, but they are in compliance with many local electrical codes. On top of those things, should you notice any obvious burning smells or non-functioning electrical outlets and lights, you will need to call an emergency electrician. Just remember, when in doubt, call a professional for verification that things are safe or need to be changed. With these things in mind, you should have a much easier time making sure that you know when to call an electrician that will immediately come to your home and solve the problem. For more information, contact a business such as Van Rijn Electric Ltd...read more
