I have a Sunbeam Model Number 4065-000 and there is white particles comming out of the holes in the bottom. I think it is because we used tap water and there is a lot of deposits in the water. I read on the box that it was ok to use tap water and not distilled water. Is ther any way to clean the inside out to get the deposits cleaned out without affecting the possibility of doing something to the cloths that I will iron after cleaning the iron?

If the deposits are recent and still fairly soft, running a tank of vinegar through the machine should remove the deposits (obviously not using on any clothes, hold it over a sink). if the deposits are more stubborn, you can use a cleaning agent like ... Sunbeam Vacuums

After two years, my Euro-Pro Shark Steam Mop, Model S3101, no longer ejects steam. I have used tap water. I think the line is clogged with mineral deposits.

My steam pocket mop seems clogged. Steam does not come out of the mop head. The clog appears to be in the rectangular mop head. The triangular head still works fine.

Having problems with your Electrolux UltraLux 2000 Bagged Canister Vacuum ?

How do I gain access to the motor of an Electrolux 2000 canister vacuum. The air intake on the motor must be partially blocked as there is a loss of suction and the motor makes that high pitched whine like it does when you cover the hose with your hand

Answers :

Dismantling the vacuum probably won't help much, and reassembling can be a bear.
\015\012To check the intake, remove bag and look into bottom of bag well. It there's a filter there, remove it and check intake at bottom of bag well. Clear if there is.
\015\012The afterfilter on a canister is located beneath the air diffuser grid on the top of the machine where the tools can be attached. Remove this cover and there should be a white filter. Yours is probably black, or at least real dirty, if it's never been changed. This also blocks the airflow, reducing suction, and potentially damaging the motor. Extremely dirty filters are an indicator of how much dust is getting into and through the motor. This is usually caused by using generic bags rather than the genuine Electrolux, now Aerus, bags.
\015\012It is also an indicator of another internal problem on some other Aerus and pre-Aerus Electrolux vacuums.
Also, the high pitched "whine" could be the little flap on the filter bag when you replace it. Remove the flap, re-install the bag and see what happens. It could be just that simple.

Home > Housing > Empty Homes > Report Empty Homes

Report Empty Homes

Making the best use of existing homes is one of our key objectives.

There is a shortage of residential accommodation available as housing demand outstrips housing supply quite significantly. It is essential to ensure that empty homes do not remain empty unnecessarily and fall into misuse and dereliction.

Report an empty home

We can offer support and assistance to empty home owners to help them bring their property back in to use, or we can use enforcement action to bring the properties in to use.

Why properties become or remain empty

In most cases this is because the owners need assistance, support, information, or encouragement to help return empty homes to use. Although there are numerous other reasons that properties remain empty including:

  • Financial implications.
  • Requires renovation and/or building work.
  • Reluctance to let/sell.
  • Health issues.
  • Probate, estate or legal ownership issues.
  • Lack of awareness of support options.

This list is not exhaustive, and the reasons can vary in severity. It is important, therefore, that we are able to give the appropriate level of support to those who need it.

Impact of an empty home

Each empty home denies a household somewhere to live and returning an empty home to use has social, environmental and financial benefits. If left empty properties can:

  • Fall into disrepair, or become ruinous or dilapidated.
  • Attract vandalism, antisocial behaviour and crime.
  • Cause damage to adjacent properties, and possibly health issues for neighbours through lack of maintenance.
  • Pose a threat to safety, particularly to young children.
  • Reduce the value of the surrounding area as well as themselves.

Again this list is not exhaustive, empty homes can create a great deal of problems not only for the owners but for those situated in the surrounding areas.

Benefits of bringing an empty home back into use

Bringing an empty home back into use has a number of benefits, these include:

  • Generating potential income for the owner, and increasing property value.
  • Reducing the risk of crime and vandalism for the property, and the local area.
  • Providing accommodation for others to use.
  • Contributing to the regeneration of an area, increasing spending in the local economy, and helping to protect the value of the surrounding area.

How we can help

We can offer a range of services to give the best support and advice possible to empty homes owners and neighbours, we can:

  • Offer informal advice and assistance.
  • Offer financial assistance to owners.
  • Offer to buy empty homes from the owners.
  • Offer to refer to town hall lettings the councils not for profit letting agent
  • Offer to find suitable companies to do works for owners.

In some circumstances we may consider to use enforcement action these could be:

  • Deal with dangerous, derelict, and ruinous buildings through enforcement notices.
  • Serve improvement notices in order to remove hazards.
  • Take over the management of the property by using an empty dwelling management order or EDMO
  • Undertake Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPO) when it is in the public interest, as a last resort.

We are eager to help empty home owners as much as possible, whilst avoiding enforcement actions.

Contact our Private Sector Housing Team for advice and support - contact us.

[Guide] [Background]  ### SYNOPSIS ### [Credits] [Episode List] [Previous] [Next]

Synopsis by Katrina Glerum (kat@midwinter.com)

A very aggrieved Zack is being subjected to a Minbari fitting of his new uniform. His mocking of the ceremonial piping and general Minbari fashion sense earns him a pointed reminder about looking gift horses in the mouth. Zack admits to Lennier that he's really upset about taking the Chief's rightful place. He insists that it's temporary though.

Greeting a Minbari delegation at the gate, Delenn requests one more day to spend with Sheridan. She promises to tell him where she is going, but not why. She is quite unsettled when the lead delegate suggests that it would be more honest to tell the Captain that if the Dreaming does not go well, she will not be permitted to return to him.

Wearing her green Drazi leader's sash, Ivanova makes her way to a Drazi religious party.

Dr. Franklin is fitting G'Kar with a new prosthetic eye. G'Kar's initial outrage when he realizes it's not his natural color dissipates quickly when Franklin mentions that it will keep sending signals even when it is removed from the socket. G'Kar instantly pops it out and waves at himself at arm's length.

On his way to Delenn's quarters, Sheridan passes a lift just as a battered, bedraggled Commander Ivanova emerges supporting herself on a cane. "Don't - Even - Ask," she utters and hobbles painfully away.

Sheridan shakes his head, and enters Delenn's room. She greets him wearing a sleek and revealing gown. He is pleased but baffled. She reminds him of the Minbari custom of women watching men sleep for three nights to determine their true nature, and requests that this be their third night because tomorrow she must leave. He is happy to agree, but it's clear from her indisposure that she isn't telling him everything.

He has to leave it unquestioned though and head off to a meeting with Franklin and Marcus. Fed up with President Clark's lies about the station, Sheridan has decided to send them on a mission to Mars to begin their retaliation. Franklin offers to ask a few questions about the Captain's missing father while they're there, but the Captain declines. It would only endanger the resistance.

Delenn caresses John's sleeping face in farewell and departs. She fails to notice Lennier waiting for her in the corridor. "I have pledged myself to your side," he reminds her. She cannot leave him behind.

And so Delenn returns to Minbar where she is brought before her clan. The clan leader, Callenn, disapproves of her liaison with Sheridan. Taking an offworlder as mate has been forbidden since Minbari first contacted other races. He claims that he seeks to only understand her decision, not judge it hastily, and thus she must submit to the Dreaming to discover the reasons for her actions and agree to obey her clan's ruling on the subject.

Lennier volunteers as her second, to protect her in the Dreaming. They both take deep draughts from a ceremonial chalice, then enter through a guarded door into a room filled with mist. Lennier recognizes from her actions that this is not the first time Delenn has been in the Dreaming. Once as an acolyte she was second to Dukhat. She begins to relive that time when she attended the greatest of the Minbari and was terrified.

"There's nothing to fear in the Dreaming. Only that which we take with us," he told her.

Suddenly she was on a ship being attacked. Dukhat, dead in her arms. She screamed and screams, then and now.

Her eyes black with horror, Delenn is comforted by Lennier.

She plunges back into the past again. Delenn was curtly summoned by Dukhat as he strode swiftly past her down a corridor. Glancing nervously at her fellow acolytes she followed him humbly into the Grey Council Chambers. As he stalked around the circle, he began to tell her how the Grey Council had decided not to make contact with a recently discovered species known as "Humans." He called them silly cowards, drew her into the middle of their circle and asked her what she would do. After stammering a little she replied, these humans are a mystery presented by the Universe as a gift.

Dukhat crowed with delight. This foolish young acolyte, he chided the Council, carries the attribute of simple curiosity which you have lost.

Since he had thus alienated her from every member of the Council, Dukhat took charge over Delenn's education. He instructed her to look him in the eyes. "I cannot have an aide who will not look up," he said. "You will be forever running into things."

Presiding over the Council years later, Dukhat watched Delenn become a member. As she uttered the sacred oath and held her hand up to the triluminary, it suddenly glowed blue. The other Council members were visibly surprised and disturbed.

Later in her quarters, Dukhat congratulated Delenn again and began to answer her question about the triluminary. It was brought by Valen, and one story was that Valen was from far in the future. He had just started explaining why he selected Delenn as his protégé long ago when they were interrupted by a chiming.

From the Council chambers they noticed a fleet of unknown ships approaching. Delenn recognized them as humans. Suddenly they noticed with horror that circling the scene was a group of Soul Hunter ships. Dukhat ordered the gun ports closed on their ship, but the Earth ships opened fire and in the battle Dukhat was struck down. With the Council divided between taking revenge or taking stock, it was Delenn who cast the determining vote to pursue the humans without mercy.

The war became a holy war, relentless and all-consuming. Even though she regretted her moment of rage soon, it was too late.

Lennier tells Delenn that her relationship with Sheridan shows that she is still seeking absolution for her guilt in the death of so many humans. She asks him crossly, whether he truly believes that. No, but this is what the clan will say when we tell them what the Dreaming has shown, he replies. Callenn summons them forth telling them to rest until the morrow, when they will tell what they have seen and a judgment will be reached.

Delenn is distraught. Trying to sleep, she watches Dukhat die in her arms again and again, and for the first time notices his lips move, but she can't make out what he is saying. She decides to go back into the Dreaming again. The clan leader tries to prevent her, but it's too late. She and Lennier have already imbibed the potion. Handing him the vessel she demands that he follow her in this time, so he can understand. Callenn is apprehensive, but she comforts him with Dukhat's own words to her long ago. "There is nothing to fear in the Dreaming. Only that which we bring with us."

The Earth ships were attacking. Pandemonium and destruction in the corridors, and Dukhat was lying in her arms.

"Listen!" Delenn commands Callenn and Lennier.

Blood dripping from his mouth, Dukhat struggled to say, "There was a purpose in my selection of you. Your heritage. You are a child of Valen."

Hours later, Lennier appears with an ancient scroll he has sneaked from the Council archives which Delenn says proves her case. Lennier is still confused, though. Delenn explains that since Valen was really Jeffrey Sinclair, human and Minbari DNA have already merged. She herself is one of his descendants, which explains why the triluminary glowed for her. There is no purity in the Minbari race that can be saved by her casting aside her alliance with Sheridan, she argues.

Callenn begs her not to make this public, because it will disturb the society deeply, and suggests a compromise. He will tell the clan that she is fulfilling an ancient custom from the warring days of Minbar when the victor would offer a daughter as a bride to the loser, as a symbol of life.

Sheridan greets Delenn as she docks. She tells him nothing except that everything is fine now, and inquires after Marcus and Franklin.

A transport lumbers along through natural space. Locked away deep in its belly, a singing Marcus is methodically driving Franklin insane.

SEO Analysis Case Study – Backlinks and Social Signals

If you target getting top rankings on organic search for keywords that have little or no competition, it is relatively easy to rank high on Google.

Simply following the Blogging Underground 12 Step Success Strategy and getting good links from articles may just be enough to get you on top! What we do at BU works really well and often the backlinks you get from articles in the BU Blog Network are all you need to get traffic from free search results for some good low to medium competition keyword phrases.

For the more competitive keywords that are harder to rank for – simply add in some social signals to give your website more authority and trust. You’ll usually move up in the rankings from the social boost.

However, if you are planning to gain super authority status for your website in a popular niche and go after higher competition keywords and compete with the big boys, it is really important you spend a little more time finding out is working for the competition to get on page one of Google for those big money keywords.

Let’s do a quick SEO analysis case study and look at a pretty competitive keyword and try to see what is working for the top sites so we can see what we can do on our own sites that will give us a boost.

Sometimes a little extra work may be required when you are targeting mid tier to high tier high competition keywords that are harder to rank for.

One of the things you may do is to look and see what the competition is doing to rank for your target keywords on Google.

There are some cool tools out there that help us analyze the competition.

Spyfu is one of the tools I often use to look at the organic rankings and competition for a keyword.

Spyfu is mainly known for tracking PPC campaigns and estimating the cost of clicks, but they also have some really good data for the “organic” free search results.

These tools are also often great to use to find additional related keywords to target and go after. Just look to see what your competition ranks for and add the best keywords to your list of targets or just make an effort to add them to the articles you publish on your site.

Spyfu tracks a lot of keywords and has a huge database of the rankings for organic search (not paid PPC placement) and actually show social data like Facebook likes, Google+, Pinterest and even the number of and Twitter tweets for the ranking URL’s.

This social data can help you analyze the ranking URL’s to see if social activity may influence the rankings.

Note: Keep in mind that while social signals are good to have and an important consideration for your sites and web pages, having a massive social presence is NOT really important except for those big competition keywords.

Let’s take a look at the data on Spyfu for a keyword that is pretty competitive: healthy smoothies

Scan down the page until you see the “Organic Search Ranking Analysis”.

They show the top 50 results (for free) and even show the estimated number of monthly clicks (very cool!).

This keyword phrase: healthy smoothies is a high competition keyword and a number one spot will bring approximately 961 clicks each month.

The results show mostly well known sites at the top of the results.

The good news is that the results are NOT all top level domains but rather URL’s of inside pages. That means a site that is tightly focused on the keyword phrase and nothing else would be a good candidate to make it page 1 of the Google results if it had all the right factors including lots of social signals.

Let’s take a look at the actual URL of the top ranking site and analyze it using Spyfu.

Click this link to see the data from Spyfu for this specific URL:

First thing I notice is massive social signals. Lots of tweets, shares and likes and a ton of Pinterest pins! 5,796 to be exact.

The pins alone are surely responsible for why the prevention page is ranking #1 on Google for this difficult keyword target.

The good news is that with Pinterest if you have a good image and people discover it, they will gladly help out and spread the word by pinning it and sharing it with their friends.

I bet the image on this top ranking page went viral on its own… let’s look at the page on prevention and see what’s on it.

Pull up this URL that ranks #1 for healthy smoothies

Wow… light on content. But that picture of the smoothies sure looks good! I want one right now!

All the page delivers is basically a picture of smoothies… with a built in PIN IT button and Facebook comments built in. The page barely has any text about smoothies.

That tells me we’ll do better if we have good pictures of smoothies and that people will pin them and help us.

By the way those are basically curated type posts – a picture (and/or video) with a paragraph of text – that’s all. And instead of one big long page with lots of words they keep it short with just a picture and a paragraph of text and then make people click the arrow to jump to the next one… smart.

A well respected site that has gained authority in a niche can do this. Once you are trusted and an authority almost anything you put on the site will get you rankings for the keywords on the pages.

Here look at this URL – it has a different smoothie picture and text…

I bet that page ranks too for Blueberry and Banana smoothie – it does – it’s on page two of results… with a picture in the Google results.

Hmmm… I think pictures are pretty important… and so are the social signals when you target these big money keywords.

Good to know about this info so you know what can help you as you build out your sites, but don’t let it scare you off from going after your low to mid competition keywords. Those keywords are much easier to rank for and do not require as much social juice as for a competitive keyword phrase like HEALTHY SMOOTHIES to get to the top.

But, that said do not ignore social signals – I think it’d be a mistake to ignore having at least some social signals pointing at your site.

Every site, even those that target keywords that are not extremely difficult to rank for, should have some tweets and likes and pins coming in.

We need to be aware of how social signals and pictures will help us gain authority and trust and push up to a higher level so that almost everything we do gets some good search engine love on it’s own

Well – I hope that gives you some ideas and helps you push up some of your pages in the rankings!

Best wishes for your online success!

Clean Power Plan will remain an issue

While it is good for North Dakota’s economy, and it is particularly good to see the issue uniting the state’s delegation, the Clean Power Plan getting unceremoniously dumped by the Trump administration is not going to end the overall issue of energy over-regulation.

The Environmental Protection Agency proposed rescinding the Clean Power Plan enacted by President Barack Obama, an initiative which was to cut U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by 32 percent by 2030. The cut was considered excessive by many in the coal power industry. In addition, 28 states joined in a lawsuit against the Obama administration over what they contend was a vast over-reach of presidential authority. The Supreme Court put the issue on hold in February 2016.

As sure as the sun comes up in the morning, there will be further assaults on coal and oil and gas, whether from the next president, the next congress or overzealous bureaucrats empowered by the fringe environmental activists who all but dictated policy for the eight years prior to Trump’s election. There is very little that the EPA or White House (or even SCOTUS) can do about that will stop this effort; opponents of fossil fuels and energy independence see the long-term.

A healthy debate on such issues would be wonderful for Americans. Wouldn’t it be spectacular to see two honest, eloquent, talented debaters go toe-to-toe to win support of American voters?

That will never happen. Energy over-regulation sorts too often rely on disingenuous arguments in the first place – primarily that all scientists agree with their plans, and also that anyone who disagrees with their specific opinion and proposals wants to destroy the planet. You can’t have a debate without two parties willing to be honest.

Not that regulation isn’t needed for the energy industry. Regulation is an absolute necessity in any industry. Period.

That said, the free market remains the best and most honest regulator. And there seems to be a cabal, often controlling the regulatory agenda, that is committed to a nation in which affordable energy is restricted to a small number of (presumably “important”) people, while the average American struggles.

Recent decisions advantage the average American, and particularly those in energy producing states. But do not, for a second, think that the assault on fossil fuels is going away any time soon.

Bounce Back Investing Ideas for the Fall Melt-Up of 2011

There might be an opportunity to bet on a counter-trend rally in certain sectors.

"A story to me means a plot where there is some surprise. Because that is how life is – full of surprises."
-Isaac Bashevis Singer

Glad that August is over? You're not the only one. The Summer Crash I had been calling for since June happened, but the big surprise was the way it played out. I ran a screen on the over 1000 ETFs/ETNs I track to identify extremes happening internally within the market. Take a look below at the most extreme ETFs among that entire list which are furthest below their respective 20 day (1 trading month) moving averages.

Solar, silver, oil, coal, and uranium took the biggest beating in August as in one fell swoop the entire world got taken back in time to the dark days of 2008. While Germany's equity markets got quite a bit of attention in the media, it looks like much more damage was done in energy and precious metals. Solar stocks in particular took a big hit because of headlines over failed Solyndra here in the US, and the realization that subsidies by European countries to solar companies likely will be severely curtailed.

The decline in these may or may not be justified, however there might be an opportunity to bet on a counter-trend rally, should the "Fall Melt-Up of 2011" I'm now calling for occur. In particular, silver which has effectively gone through two mini "relative crashes" is at an important ratio support level. Take a look below at the price ratio of the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) relative to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA). As a reminder, a rising price ratio means the numerator/SLV is outperforming (up more/down less) the denominator/DIA.

Click to enlarge

For those looking into mean-reversion ideas, I suspect many of the ETFs listed could be prime candidates for a rebound rally in risk.

Microsoft: Investors Cheer Steve Ballmer's Retirement but Challenges Remain

The software giant still has a tough road ahead.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced this morning that Steve Ballmer, CEO since 2000, will retire within 12 months after the completion of a search for his successor.

Despite the enormous growth in revenues and earnings under his watch, Ballmer has been an increasingly controversial leader. Critics say that Microsoft missed the Internet and mobile computing booms, which are fields now dominated by rivals like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG).

In fact, typing the phrase "Steve Ballmer is" into Google shows the following autocomplete results:

Ouch! Though interestingly enough, what pops up for deceased Apple visionary Steve Jobs is actually much worse.

Nonetheless, while many people, myself included, tend to excuse Jobs's misdeeds because of how revolutionary Apple's products have been, Ballmer is unlikely to receive the same treatment.

In public, Jobs had uncanny personal charisma, one underappreciated example of which is the iMac introduction way back in 1998:

Ballmer, on the other hand, was not exactly operating on the same level of cool:

On a personality level, Steve Jobs comparisons are never, ever fair. But Ballmer had been running the company that was Apple's number one rival (I would argue that Google and Samsung (OTCMKTS:SSNLF) are now Apple's biggest rivals), so it's fair to talk about the underlying businesses.

Apple essentially created the modern mobile gadget industry with 2001's iPod, and then it catalyzed the death of the modern PC with 2007's iPhone and 2010's iPad.

Microsoft's rival products under Ballmer, each of which followed's Apple's innovations -- the Zune mp3 player, Windows Phone operating system, and Surface Tablet line -- all failed to make meaningful marks within their respected product categories.

Investors cheered Ballmer's retirement announcement today, sending the stock as high as $35.20, a 9% gain from yesterday's close, this morning.

That's an obvious indication that there's optimism that new blood can reinvigorate Microsoft.

However, serious challenges remain.

The traditional PC industry is collapsing due to cannibalization from emerging markets like tablets and Google Chromebooks. According to Gartner, worldwide PC shipments dropped 10.9% in the second quarter of 2013, marking a record five consecutive quarters of decline.

Microsoft remains heavily reliant on the PC market; last year, its Windows and Business (90% of Business is MS Office) divisions accounted for 56% of revenues and a whopping 97% of operating income. Meanwhile, the online services division, which includes the Bing search service, lost $1.3 billion. The year before, it lost $8.1 billion, including a $6.2 billion writedown related to the 2007 acquisition of digital marketing company aQuantive, which failed to live up to expectations.

These losses come in stark contrast to Internet-centric heavyweights like Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and the aforementioned Google, which generate enormous profits online.

So whoever steps in has a lot of existing holes to plug while catapulting Microsoft ahead in competitive new markets.

That's a pretty tall order. In fact, I'm curious to see who has the nerve to take the job.

Penpal Party, anyone?

Thanks to a hot tip from Goodnight Little Spoon, I just found out about the very groovy-looking Penpal Party. It is billed as "a letter-writing exchange... for stationery and letter-writing enthusiasts."

NO, I'm not going to join - I have too many other letters of me own that need responses, and I'm very happy with all the letters I write and receive.

But for those of you who are looking for a few more pen pals, or anyone who will write back, really, it looks like a great idea and a great place to start.

The gal who founded it is a designer, and her designs are reeeeeeeeally cute. You can see 'em here, but of course she did the way cute design on Penpal Party, too.

You can even see some fun Penpal Party photos here, too.

If you decide to sign up, let me know how it goes!

UPDATE: This project has been discontinued. You can read the full comments for info.

  1. Haha, I probably shouldn't have joined for the same reason, but I couldn't help myself. I should have your letter on its way this week :P

  2. Im not going to join for the sheer fact that international postage is getting way too costly .

  3. Thanks MM ! ! I'm going to do Round 3 if there is one. Looks like fun.

  4. A friend told me about that after seeing it in Bianca's blog too, I will join, I never did swaps or exchanges with strangers but I saw the pictures and I liked that, maybe I'll not find people who likes to write long or massive letters like me, but at least I'll give it a try.

    I also have letter to answer, but I have time enough to do it ^^

  5. Got these email a couple days ago regarding the PenPal Party - bummer!

    Hello friends!

    You wrote to inquire about a round 3 of Penpal Party. Unfortunately the project has been shelved for the time being -- at least in its current form. It is just too much for me to organize and to keep tabs on who got a letter, who responded, who didn't get a letter, who's MIA...exhausting.

    However, I am now inviting people to post on Twitter: "looking for a penpal #penpalparty" -- posting this with the hashtag #penpalparty, you can meet other penpalparty participants and hopefully connect with a future penpal with this method.

    I'll keep you posted when and if Penpal Party resumes or moves forward in the future.
    Many thanks for your interest and happy letter writing!

  6. Thanks for the update, Lynda. Someone else had shared this info with me as well (and as a result, I removed the link from my "how to find people who might write you back" sidebar). Alas, I do not twitter, but I am not seeking more pen pals. I hope others may have success in this method.

    Honestly, I can foresee all the work involved with coordinating a project like this, and that's why I've never offered to set up something like this myself!
