Hoover U5140-900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright Vacuum

The Tempo WidePath features a 15-inch cleaning path for super fast vacuuming when you need it the most. Plus, the WidePath cleans indoor air while you vacuum, thanks to an innovative allergen filtration system that traps 100 percent of dust mites, 99.98 percent of ragweed, and common grass pollens for cleaner breathing and fresher air. A powerful, 12 amp motor provides ample suction and doesn't leave anything behind. A brilliant headlight illuminates the cleaning path to ensure thorough vacuuming. Onboard tool storage keeps attachments, such as a dusting brush, furniture nozzle, crevice tool, and two extension wands in close reach. A smaller profile (approximately 33-1/4 by 18-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches) and lighter overall weight makes the Tempo WidePath easy to push, and easier to maneuver around and under furniture, too. And, your purchase is covered by a Hoover one-year warranty. Get a Tempo WidePath, and never get behind on the housework again! --Brian Olson
Customer Review: Great vacuum!
We've had 2 or 3 bagless vacuums that have broken within 1-2 years after getting them. They've gotten clogged, etc. We ordered this vacuum instead and it works wonderfully! Much better than even the new bagless ones! Great buy and great deal for this wonderful vacuum!
Customer Review: Bad Belt, just like others
Great price at $70 and free shipping, great cleaning power especially with 2 rabbits running around the place. All the accessories that was included was also good in getting to the hard to reach areas. But one sticking point that seems the same throughout some other reviews is the drive belt, the belt snapped under 2 months of ownership, probably 6-9 times of light usage (two medium area rugs).


Northern Arizona offers some of America's most breath-taking scenery, expecially if you like rocks. Red Rocks petrified rocks volcanic rocks pueblos carved from rock and crater rocks. Towering walls of rock lining the Grand Canyon. Cactus blooming from the cracks of desert rocks. Silver rocks mined from the mountains. Relish the history of the west Indian encampments and ghost towns, saloons and mining camps, rangeland and fence lines, rail stations and Route 66. Tour the Rocks! Here is a list of rockin' destinations.

1. Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. View the massive twisted lava flows spread across the landscape - black barrenness behind stately trees growing where the hot rock stopped. Magnificent contrasts. The largest volcanic peak is called Sunset Crater because of the colors in the rock. Several smaller cones of extinct volcanoes are also viewable.

2. Ancient pueblos cut into the mountainsides hundreds of feet above the valley floor or built on the high desert plains. Dizzying heights, intricate paths and tiny caves attest to the Native Americans ability to survive and protect themselves in a harsh environment. Stand on a rocky out-cropping and see the spiderweb of trails that led down the mountain or look up at ladders against pueblo dwellings hundreds of feet up the cliff face. Visit Wupatki, Tuzigoot, Montezuma Castle, and Walnut Canyon National Monuments, and the Homalori Ruins.

3. Originally an outpost for the pony express, then the railroad, Williams is now the railhead for the Grand Canyon Railway. The town is so small there are no streetlights, only a single stop sign smack in the center of the main intersection. Following a western-style hold-up and shootout in the 'town square', you can board the train to the Grand Canyon - very touristy, very fun. (Be sure to get pullman seating its worth it.) Singing cowboys, a hold-up on the return trip, complimentary drinks and snacks, and a tour of the Canyon make a full day, returning to Williams for the night. Visit Pancho McGillicuddys, a bar on the main street. The name attests to the influence of the Mexicans and the Irish in the building of the railroads and the town. (Try the Queso and chilled shrimp by the bucket!)

4. The Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest, possibly the only place in America where its a federal offense to pocket a rock! Rock selling is BIG business, and companies obtain licenses to mine the petrified pieces and create souvenirs of all sizes - for a price. Massive rock logs lie scattered across acres of barren land sparkling colors paint the mesas at sunset the variety of cacti and other native plants change as you climb into the high country and back again.

5. The tiny silver mining town of Jerome. Once almost a ghost town, its now an artists colony perched on the side of the mountain - literally. Many of the buildings are held (semi) level with pilings braced against the hill. Visit the artisans and galleries, then tour the mansion and gardens at the peak originally the home of the mining companys owner - with a model of the mining operation and equipment. The history is fascinating and the view spectacular!

6. Prescott a real western town. See the famous oak bar at the saloon on Main Street. When fire swept through the town in the early 1900s, locals banded together to carry the massive piece out of the saloon. The rest of the town burned - but the bar was saved and soon established in a tent, until the town could be rebuilt (with brick this time). Let the drinking continue! The historic district has several authentic wooden buildings located around the square. Tour the Governor's Mansion, the museum and the zoo.

7. Sedona: The heart of red rock country and a very artsy town. Roam the streets in search of unique pieces and bargains take a drive along the canyon (or if you like, try white water rafting, or other outdoor adventure). Sedona is green unlike much of northern Arizonas high desert. An oasis - a beautiful spot to relax and refresh.

8. Oatman, an authentic ghost town along famous Route 66, where Clark Gable spent his honey-moon (not very plush by todays standards!) and donkeys roam the streets (where our 21 year-old daughter was held at gunpoint by a bunch of outlaws! You keep the camera, well keep the girl!) Folks in town are very friendly, pointing out bullet holes in the saloon wall, telling tales of hold-ups and shoot-outs, and selling carrots to feed the donkeys.

9. Meteor Crater Almost three-quarters of a mile wide, and 550 feet deep and 49,000 years old, the crater is located about six miles south of I-40. Tour the Visitors Center (the former Museum of Astrogeology) and take a guided tour of the crater rim. The crater was first discovered in the late 1800's. The largest remaining meteor fragment weighs about 1500 lbs. and is on display.

10. Hoover Dam This magnificent testament to modern engineering spans Black Canyon on the border between Arizona and Nevada. Listed as a National Historic Landmark since 1985, it is one of America's Seven Modern Wonders. Constructed in slightly less than five years during the Depression, it was conceived as a way to create jobs in the southwest. The story of its conception and construction is fascinating, but lengthy. Crossing the dam by car is permitted. Parking is available to tour the Visitor Center, which hosts almost one million visitors each year. Lake Mead cruises can also be scheduled.

As a sidelight, development in Arizona is based largely on the availability of water. Williams and Flagstaff were initially settled about the same time, but Flagstaff became a growing community, and then a city, because of its water source. (Hoover Dam and its companion dams are responsible for controlling much of the water that supports development throughout the southwest.)

It is also interesting to note (being from one of the original thirteen colonies) that buildings on the National Register of Historic places are all from around the early 1900s not the 1700s. Theres a two-hundred year historical transition from east to west! (PS. If you like Mexican food, try Cilantros in Flagstaff the best steak fajitas weve had anywhere!)

Hawaii's Fishes : A Guide for Snorkelers, Divers, and Aquarists

Underwater photographs and informative descriptions of over 240 species, including classification, evolution, and best locations to spot them.
Customer Review: thorough identification guide
This was perfect for my recent trip to the Big Island. My 7yr old son is a nature enthusiast - and we couldn't get enough time snorkeling. This book was perfect for identifying the fish we saw (I had a waterproof case for my digital camera).
Customer Review: Second Edition is even better
Released late in 2007 in the islands, the 2nd edition has new, and software enhanced photographs, and more species. I go back and forth between Hoover and Randall (Shore Fishes of Hawai`i) to identify reef fish.


Inverters are the essential step between a battery's DC power and the AC power needed by standard household electrical systems. In a grid connected home, an inverter connected to a battery bank can provide an uninterruptible source of backup power in the event of power failures, or can be used to sell extra alternative energy power back to the utility company.

A "DC to AC" power inverter, also termed DC to AC converter, electronically converts DC power from a battery to 60 hertz AC power at 120 volts like in homes. Batteries produce power in direct current (DC) form, which run at very low voltages but cannot be used to run most modern household appliances. Inverters take the DC power supplied by a storage battery bank and electronically convert it to AC power. An inverter used for backup power in a grid connected home will use grid power to keep the batteries charged, and when grid power fails, it will switch to drawing power from the batteries and supplying it to the building electrical system.

Most modern inverters also include over voltage and under voltage protection, protecting sensitive equipment from dangerous power surges as well. All the DC to AC power inverters requires a 12-volt input, but there is a wide range of models available in the market depending on the output wattage that they supply. A few of the most widely used models are 150 watts, 325 watts, 600 watts, 1500 watts and 3000 watts. The lower wattage, models can be directly connected to a cars cigarette lighter socket, while the larger ones must be directly wired to bigger batteries.

Typical applications for a DC-AC power inverter include microwave ovens, televisions, video recorders, computer and power tools and monitoring/communications equipment.

Formative International 12 Inch Action Figure President Herbert Hoover Doll




Businesses incur expenses towards achieving their goals, and the profit margin is influenced by various factors such as operating and marketing costs. For instance, marketing costs are a major expense in the beverage industry. Similarly, operating costs are higher in manufacturing firms such as chemicals.

Operating costs are driven by many factors such as raw materials and conversion and maintenance costs. Raw materials are external to the organization, so there are little chances to reduce the costs. But conversion and maintenance costs are purely internal, and depend upon the efficiency of the organization. It is estimated that with good practices, maintenance costs can be brought down by 15 percent. Good practices can be preventive and predictive maintenance management systems.

Industries that extensively use conveyor belts include the mining and process industries. Conveyor belts are long, sometimes travel underground, and carry materials that may get stuck in between the rollers. It is difficult to track the problem in case of breakage caused by materials getting stuck. Maintenance issues include cleaning parts such as belts, rollers and pulleys, and scheduled changes.

As materials get pinched in between the pulleys or on the surface of the belts, cleaning the system is a prerequisite for good maintenance. Cleaning is needed at four stages. The first stage is at the drive pulley, below the flow of material. This is important when the material is sticky. The next stage is called secondary cleaning, and the cleaners are placed behind the pulleys; they are either t-shaped or arm-shaped. Belt brushes and plough cleaners are used to scrape the material on their return paths. The material used for cleaning is either rubber or polyurethane, which is strong enough to scrape but at the same time doesn't wear on the belt.

The maintenance of the system also depends upon the strength of the belt and the type of material transported.

Customer Review: Not happy pet owner
I wish I had checked reviews on this before I bought. I have used it a few times, it does not do a very good job. I find I still need to haul the big carpet cleaner to get the spots cleaned up. I have cats and a dog that hates thunderstorms, so the messes occur regularly enough (hair balls, vomit, etc.) and it just doesn't clean them up very well.
Customer Review: It Really Works!
Since I bought this spot cleaner three years ago, it has been an indispensable tool in lifting tough stains out of my carpet. If you own Berber, you know that stains take to it like a magnet to a fridge and are really hard to pry off using traditional cleaners that come in a bottle or can. The Spot Scrubber makes short order of these stains. I've used it on everything from greasy shoe stains to spilled coffee, and each time the stains come out completely with little to no effort. A few tricks I've learned to get the most value from this machine may help you. * Saturate the stain with the liquid cleaning solution and wait a full 5 minutes for the cleaner to activate. This is an important step, since it is the liquid cleaner that ultimately works at removing the stain. * Next, use the revolving brush on the Spot Scrubber with steady even pressure, back and forth from right to left and up to down. This makes sure that the cleaner is thoroughly worked into the carpet fibers and attacks the stain. * Next, use the vacuum setting on the Spot Scrubber to thoroughly remove the cleaner, moisture and any stain residue. * I like to use an additional spray bottle with plain water after vacuuming the spot as a rinse aid to remove any residual cleaner. After spraying the water onto the spot a few times, I again vacuum the moisture away. Following these steps, I have had superb results with the Dirt Devil Spot Scrubber. A note about the critical reviews here: Without a doubt, this machine has its flaws. One, it's very important to make sure that the dirty water tank is emptied early and often. This will prevent liquid from spraying out of the machine's exhaust vents, as there are no built-in water-proof valves that keep the water locked into the tank. And, two, the machine is indeed very loud. But for small jobs, I believe these faults can be overlooked because it delivers solid results.


As much as we all would like for our ceiling fans to never wear out, we all know that is not reality. Ceiling fans do and will wear out eventually. And while it would be nice to just replace the entire fan, it is often more cost effective to replace the broke part.

The first step in replacing a part is to contact the manufacturer. If the fan is still under warranty, you may be able to have the fan fixed, usually free of charge. Generally, most parts are brand specific, so it is wise to get them through the manufacturer. Since generic parts will not work for these, you can generally order the parts straight from the manufacturers customer service department.

Ceiling fans consist of many different parts. The general parts are switches, motors, p.c. boards, ceiling fan remote controls, flywheels, capacitors, just to name a few. Some even have fitters that you can mount lights from. Although each unit is different, most have the same basic parts.

Probably one the easiest parts of the fan to replace are the blades. Since most retailers sell blades separately, replacement sets are easy to purchase. With age, capacitors are very likely to wear out. When replacing capacitors, make sure to replace with the same rated model you have. Sometimes, your fan simply needs a bolt or screw. These can generally be found at hardware stores. However, some ceiling fan retailers sell packets of common screws and other fasteners.

Unfortunately, there are some parts that can not be replaced. One specifically is the motor. However, it is rare that the problem is the motor itself, but rather a part related directly to the motor, such as the capacitor or the bearings.

So when you are replacing ceiling fan parts, try and keep a few things in mind. First, be sure to check with the manufacturer of your specific fan, to see if the fan is still under warranty. If however, the fan is no longer under warranty, there are parts available, at reasonable rates. You can shop your local Home Center and even the internet. Just be sure to find out whether your fan will accept generic parts or if they need brand specific parts. Always be sure to shop around, to make sure you are getting the best deal.

As with all other electrical appliances you should be careful when you install new parts, and if you are not sure that you know what you are doing contact a professional to do the work for you. There is also a chance that the part will be too expensive and that the installation may take time, or even has to be sent back to the factory, in these kind of cases you would do good to consider purchasing a new ceiling fan.

Ceiling fans are a great tool to cool your home and circulate the air around, many of the modern models have light fixtures in them and many other features, learn about Ceiling Fans and Ceiling Fans Parts installation tips and advice at http://ceilingfan.zupatips.com

I Love Hoover Embroidered Cap

Text on Embroidered Cap: Hoover.


Apparently there are some people out there who havent gotten the word that the days of mass marketing are over. These troglodytes are still randomly pushing an untargeted, self-serving message on people.

I call this To Whom It May Concern Marketing. I dont know about you, but receiving something addressed "To Whom It May Concern" sure gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

This type of marketing just makes people mad. They have enough on their minds without someone trying to elbow their way in with an offer that is of no interest. Typically, the offers are all about the product or service and not about the benefit to the prospect.

Today, whether you are selling yourself with a cover letter and resume or selling a product, it is a one-to-one world.

I frequently receive notes to my email address that are addressed "To Whom It May Concern", or "Hiring Manager", or even "Please pass this along to the appropriate person." These PR job seekers exemplify this bad "marketing" behavior.

I used to respond to these people. Id tell them: if you are looking for a job, it is your job to find it, not mine. Do a little research and find the right person - by name to target before you pull the trigger. Ive stopped responding.

On our website it is not hard to discover that we are a network of independent professionals. This means we dont have employees, and that probably should tell an intelligent job seeker that we dont need or want resumes.

Whether you sell products to customers, yourself to a hiring manager, or story ideas to journalists, you need to target people who have an interest and provide them information about how theyll benefit.

Marketers need to embrace this one-to-one world. Those dinosaurs refusing to do so are destined for extinction.

Customer Review: very good but not great
Overall I am pleased with this product. It is a good value. It does not quite live up to the hype of 5 star reviews. Don't get me wrong, it does as good of a job as any other cleaner I have used but there are still some stains that will not come out. I do recommend this product without hesitation.
Customer Review: Does a good job, but IT LEAKS
This carpet cleaner does a nice job, but, although I followed all the instructions to the best of my ability, IT LEAKS.


The best time to go to Las Vegas on vacation is in the spring or fall. Winters can be a bit cool and it has been known to snow as well. Even though it can be chilly during the winter this doesn't stop partiers from flocking to Las Vegas for New Years Eve. Prices on vacation packages and hotels tend to be a bit cheaper in during the winter months as well. So if you haven't been to Vegas it might be a good time to go and check it out for less money.

While taking your Las Vegas vacation there are many attractions, events and ways to lose your money. Gambling with either cards or slots is an excellent way to lose your money if that is why you are going. However, if you want to do some sightseeing; then there is plenty to do.

There are many tours available in Las Vegas and many of them are part of vacation specials or packages. There are jeep and bus tours to the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon and Death Valley. If you are looking for something a little more adventurous than you can schedule a river rafting or horseback riding outing.

When traveling to Las Vegas for vacation there are many ways to get around. Renting a car isn't necessary but you might want to avoid walking if you can do the heat that can reach up to 120 degrees. While in Vegas remember there are many options for transportation, including bus services to most areas, taxis to any location in town, trolleys and a monorail system that runs from the Convention Center to the MGM Grand Casino on the strip.

No matter what you do in Las Vegas while on vacation remember "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"
