Questions To Ask Your Plumber

Hiring a plumber is not as easy as just picking up a phone book and picking one. You need to make sure that you get a qualified plumbing contractor and not some hack. To increase your odds of choosing a good plumber there are some questions that you should ask. Keep reading this article to learn what those questions are.

The first question that you should ask is, "How long have you been a plumber?" This is an important question because if a plumber has been in business for a long time they are more likely to be good. Every plumber has to get started at some time though so If they haven't been in business long you shouldn't automatically rule them out. Just take it into consideration.

The next question you should ask is, "Are you insured?" If they are insured this means that you and your home is protected in the case of an unfortunate incident. If they are not insured then they are just not very professional and you should pass on using them.

A third question to ask is, "Do you offer a written guarantee?" A qualified cleaner will have no problem backing up their work with a written estimate. If they will not offer you a guarantee you should be immediately concerned about their quality.

One last question you should ask is, "Do you have any references?" Id you are doing a large extensive plumbing job you should ask for references. IF they can not provide you at least a few good references it is a bad sign. Once you get the list of references be sure to actually call them. You might be surprised how many companies give out bogus references or give out names of people who weren't even happy with the work.

Hiring a plumber does not have to be a stressful experience if you simply do your research and take a little time. It is not a decision you should rush into. Good luck.

Wireless Networking Basics

wireless networking is simple in theory: just install a wireless network adapter in each computer and forget about drilling holes and running cable. When you deal with equipment based on the 802.11b (or Wi-Fi) standard, unfortunately, the reality often falls short of claimed specifications. Your wireless network will have a limited range - you've probably experienced a decrease in speed at a certain distance from an access point. That's why you must adjust the location and configuration of your wireless setup to obtain the best possible performance, range, and reliability. Follow expert advice and your connection will be faster across longer distances--and you'll have fewer dropped connections.

Pick the best location: The farther your wireless networked computer is from a wireless access point--and the greater the number of solid objects that stand in the way--the slower your connection will be. To optimize your network's speed and range, position your wireless access point at least a few feet above the floor and away from metal objects, particularly large appliances like refrigerators. Though most manuals for networking products tell you to position the access point in the middle of the coverage area, it's often better to identify the locations where you expect to use a computer and put the access point where it will be in a direct line of sight (or close to it) to as many of those places as possible.

Don't waste time worrying about "dead spots" if no one is likely to use a computer there. Once your wireless network is up and running, even slight changes in your wireless network card's position (say, a shift in the orientation of your laptop as you recline on the couch) may dramatically improve throughput or even restore a dropped connection.

For larger areas--or areas with many obstructions--your only option may be to shell out the cash for multiple access points. If you go this route, you'll find that wireless setup is easy: Simply make sure that the access points have identical settings. Virtually all wireless network adapters support "roaming": In areas where access point coverage overlaps, the adapter will latch on to the strongest signal.

Weight Loss And Build Muscle - Review

When I was in high school and college I used to work out and eat whatever I wanted and still looked good. after college I gained weight and was out of shape. I want to share with you a program that not only will help you lose weight permanently but also build muscle. about 95 percent of us try diets and then gain it all back and this diets do not show how to bulk up either.

I am not fond of using supplements that claim to help you lose fat or using drugs to bulk up and build muscles. Although drugs can build your muscles fast but the downside is the side effects associated with drugs are nasty. So lets examine what we can do to not only lose the fat but also build muscle leading to a healthy life and looking good while we at it.

There are certain foods that are know to increase fat in our bodies and there are foods that can increase our metabolism which in turn can increase burning the fat in our bodies. eating certain number of calories or calories which are not optimal to each individual can actually harm our metabolism and make us FAT. So eating at our optimal calorie level, the right type certain foods can lead to losing weight. Consuming good fats can increase the fat lose and energy level.

This leads us to the next thing we need to examine, exercise. By eating right foods and correct optimal level of calories and consuming fat that increase fat lose we increase our energy, which we can then use it for conditioning our body by exercising. By using this combination of technique of eating the right foods and avoiding those that can harm us, eating the calories that we need for our body at optimal levels and avoiding low levels of calorie intake which can damage our metabolism, and using the newly found energy from eating optimally to tone our body or build muscle by exercising, we can live a healthy life.
