Commercial Vacuums & Cleaners
Do you feel like a household vacuum cleaner just isn't getting the job done? Then you should consider getting a commercial vacuum cleaner. Commercial vacuum cleaners are designed to be more heavy duty with more power, but they do come in several variations for a multitude of businesses.
Unfortunately, there isn't one perfect vacuum cleaner that will get the job done for all floor and carpet types. However, we do carry products that come pretty close. Before deciding on whether to buy a household vacuum cleaner or commercial vacuum cleaner, take a closer look at what floor-type your business has. For example, does your business have a lot of plush carpet or thin carpet? And also take a look at what exactly your vacuum cleaner will be picking up. Do you need one that can handle larger objects like rocks? Or is it going to pick up metal objects (like nails) or food items?
All of these thoughts should be considered before purchasing a commercial vacuum cleaner. But if you're not sure where to start, we have a form that you can submit and we can suggest some commercial vacuum cleaners for you.
Take a look at our inventory below, we carry just about every commercial vacuum cleaner available from light-weight, canister to heavy-duty.×

We hear all the time how newspapers are dying. But don't let that fool you. Their value to researchers remains high. News items, especially in small towns, are a glimpse not only into our ancestor's lives, but into the world they lived in. How much would it have cost for shoes or for that new Model T that Grandpa was so proud of? What were the political feelings of the time, and how do they differ from ours today?
Researching in local newspapers can also help answer many of the questions we have about our family. Look for:
– Marriages, anniversaries, and births
– Obituaries
– Probate and Estate settlement announcements
– Visits from out of town
– Military troop movements for soldiers from the town
– Accidents and tragedies that would have affected your family
Where can I find newspapers? First, contact the local library, historical society, or county historian in the area your ancestor lived. Ask about indexes to newspapers, and if they are online, on microfilm, or in paper only. Occasionally, if they are on microfilm, you can request an inter-library loan through your own county library for a small fee. I have found unpublished index books created by local historical societies that cannot be found anywhere else.
Are newspapers online? Many newspapers are online, but not necessarily the ones you need. Some are indexed and some are not. Some of the popular places to check for the paper you are interested in are:
– Library of Congress Chronicling America Project (free)
– Newspaper Archive ($, free to use at LDS Family History Centers)
– The United States Newspaper Program
– Fold3.com ($, free to use at LDS Family History Centers and in many local libraries)
– Ancestry.com ($, free to use at LDS Family History Centers and in many local libraries)
– Genealogy Bank ($)
– Check your local library. They often subscribe to historic newspaper sites that may be associated with surrounding areas.
What is OCR? Online newspaper projects often use a system known as Optical Character Recognition software. It allows newspapers to be word-by-word indexed and searchable. It isn't perfect, especially since the type face or copy quality of the newspaper may cause words and letters to be mis-identified. When looking for my 5th Great-grandfather's obituary at a site for Western New York papers, I had a hard time. His name, James Whitman, finally came out as "Jamas" before I could identify it. Be creative and patient in your search.
Don't give up. Newspaper research can be time-consuming, and is dreaded by avid genealogists. However, it is also one of the most richest sources of information. I finally found where James Whitman was buried. No, not in his own obituary. I found it in the third of FOUR obituaries for his daughter, Anna. I knew that people often had multiple obituaries, but Anna was apparently very popular. The third obit stated that she was being buried next to her parents. That was the key. Anna has a headstone, but two plots lie unmarked beside her. Now we know. What will you find out, with some research into the newspapers of your ancestors' times?

(CNN) — It took no advice from the Imperial Senate to reach this conclusion: the U.S. government won't be building a Death Star.
A White House official responded Friday to an online petition on its website proposing the government turn what is "Star Wars" fiction into reality - you know, to boost the economy.
"By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense," the petition read.
The White House response to the out-of-this-world proposal was grounded.
"The administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon," wrote Paul Shawcross, chief of the Office of Management and Budget's Science and Space Branch.
And plus, he wrote, there is "something already floating in the sky."
"Yes, we already have a giant, football field-sized International Space Station in orbit around the Earth that's helping us learn how humans can live and thrive in space for long durations," he wrote. "Even though the United States doesn't have anything that can do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, we've got two spacecraft leaving the Solar System and we're building a probe that will fly to the exterior layers of the Sun."
The spherical Death Star space station was the domain of the Galactic Empire and featured a super laser with sufficient power to destroy planets.
The petition picked up over 34,400 signatures since it was posted on November 14. The White House says it responds to all petitions on its "We the People" website which reach at least 25,000 virtual signatures.
The Office of Management and Budget prepares the president's annual budget proposal and scores the costs and deficit impact of executive branch proposals. True to form, the Death Star reply included a score, or cost projection, of the project.
"The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it," Shawcross wrote, citing a calculation performed by students at Lehigh University's College of Business and Economics.
Also, Shawcross noted, "The administration does not support blowing up planets."

How formal is the Spanish word cuán? When is it appropriate to use, and when does it seem out of place? How are sentences using cuán normally expressed in informal speech?
In Spain, cuán is rarely used in normal, informal speech, though I think it would generally be understood.
To express the same, you can use qué, or lo ... que:
In questions, in Spain, it is often replaced by cómo de:
But this usage is probably incorrect.
In questions, "cuán" is equivalent to "qué tan":
In exclamations, "cuán" is equivalent to "qué":
"Cómo de" is a regionalism. I think outside of Spain it sounds very bad. In general, if you can use "qué", this will be the preferred form in the informal and formal speech. "Cuán" is more common in writing, especially in literature. I think using "cuán" is not formal; it's just not usual. My hypothesis is educated people use "cuán" more frequently, but it isn't related to a formality issue.
Although this isn't really what you were asking about, maybe it's worth mentioning that it would be somewhat out of place to use cuán when you're in Mexico, where it is far more common to say qué tan. For example,

CBS Survivor was the original television reality show debuting on May 31st, 2000 on the island of Borneo. Richard Hatch was Survivor Season 1 ultimate Survivor and started a tradition of CBS Survivor contestants that have become world famous. The concept of CBS Survivor is to maroon a group of 16 people who do not know each other in an isolated location, where they must provide food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves, while competing in challenges to earn either a reward, or immunity from expulsion from the game in the next of the successive votes for elimination. While much less common than elimination by vote, medical conditions, such as injury or infection, have eliminated several contestants. The last three survivors face a jury, composed of the last seven, eight, or nine players voted off. That jury interrogates the final few, and then votes for the winner of the game, the title of Sole Survivor and a million dollar prize.
The finite list of Sole Survivor Champions and their seasons are:

BA in Biological Sciences, Degree Details
Bachelor of Arts
Science (Biological Sciences, 5-12)
Degree Details
How This Program Works
WGU offers degrees, not classes.
WGU does not rely upon classes in the traditional sense. We don't base your progress on accumulating credit hours, but rather on completing challenging assessments that measure your knowledge and skills in a subject area. We ask you to "prove you know your stuff." You'll study. You'll write papers. You'll take tests. You'll complete assignments.
Here's how it works:
- Your degree requirements are carefully developed to give you high-level competence for teaching in a high school biology classroom.
- You will complete a 12-20 week session of full-time student teaching in an actual classroom. (An extra fee applies.)
- You must pass or complete rigorous assessments (tests, papers, assignments) which will require you to demonstrate your competence in each subject area.
- You will work with your assigned mentor on your personalized Degree Plan that establishes the pace at which you prepare for and tackle the required assessments in your course of study.
- Each term is a full six months in length. During each term, you can complete as much of your degree as possible. (Exception: your 12-20 week Demonstration Teaching experience.)
- Progress is measured through Competency Units (CUs), which are credit equivalents that track your completion of the required assessments. To maintain full-time status, you are expected to complete at least 12 CUs in a term; more are possible.
- You and your mentor will determine the learning resources (online courses, textbooks, tutorials, etc.) that will best serve you in your competency development.
- With few exceptions, you will be able to choose when and where you study, and together with your mentor, you'll schedule your assessments.
It's your program.
Online learning isn't easy. You should expect to work hard and spend 20 hours or more per week on your studies. But your program will be flexible enough to fit into your lifestyle, not the other way around.
More info about becoming a teacher.

How Long Your Program Takes May Vary
For students with an associate's degree or its equivalent: 2 to 2½ years.
For students with little or no prior college: 4 to 5 years.
WGU's competency-based approach results in degree completion times that can vary from student to student. The amount of time it will take you depends upon four factors:
- The number of credits you transfer in.
- The knowledge and skills you already possess in the field.
- The amount of time you spend working on your program each week.
- Your self-motivation and determination.
Many students proceed faster than the normal pace designed into each program. But don't assume doing so is easy. WGU programs are quite rigorous. The pace at which you complete your WGU program depends upon how quickly you are able to take and pass the required assessments. Successful students can commit 20 hours or more per week to their studies and are often able to complete their programs more quickly.
Speak to an Enrollment Counselor for a personalized estimate of your time to completion.

Tuition That's Affordable
Basic Tuition: $2,890 per six-month term
Resource Fee: $145 per six-month term (non-refundable)
Application Fee: $65 (one time)
Demonstration Teaching (student teaching) fee: $1,000 ($100 application fee + $900 fee)
Science Lab Fee: $350 (one time)
You pay for the time, not the credits. Tuition is charged at a flat rate every six months and covers all coursework attempted in that time. A full-time load for this degree program is at least 12 competency units (credit equivalents) per six-month term. Whether you complete more or fewer units, you are charged the same flat rate.
You have a significant advantage if you have extensive experience in your chosen field and the time to take on a substantial course load. If you can shorten the time it takes for you to complete your degree, you pay less. Here's an example:
- 4 years (or 8 terms): $23,120
- 3 years (or 6 terms): $17,340
- 2 years (or 4 terms): $11,560
How does tuition compare to other online schools? Very favorably. Our tuition is typically half what other reputable online universities charge. Other schools charge as much as $400 per credit, which can ultimately cost between $30,000 and $60,000 for your degree. Plus, at WGU you have the benefit of cost savings if you can complete your program faster.
More Information about Tuition and Fees
Compare WGU's tuition to other schools
Federal financial aid is available to those who qualify. Some types of loans are based on financial need; however, one type of loan is available to most students. And because tuition is low, you should be able to finish your degree without large education debts.

Talk to an Enrollment Counselor to learn what financial aid may be available to you.

Accredited and Credible
Credibility is a critical factor when considering an online degree program. Accreditation is a key indicator of a university's credibility among both academia and employers. WGU is:
- NCATE accredited—by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. WGU is the first exclusively online university to receive NCATE accreditation for its degree programs that lead to teacher licensure, a testament to the fact that WGU graduates "have the knowledge and skills to be effective in helping all students learn."
- Regionally accredited—by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The Northwest Commission is also responsible for the accreditation of other major universities such as the University of Washington, University of Oregon, Gonzaga University, and the University of Utah, to name a few.
- Founded by 19 governors and supported by major businesses—WGU was founded by 19 U.S. governors. WGU is also supported by over 20 major corporations and foundations who believe in the university's commitment to producing highly competent graduates. Several of these corporations continue to serve on our National Advisory Board.

Actually, you're 'not invited' to the wedding...
Last week, a coworker sent me a link to an article about a new wedding trend that's drawing quite a bit of criticism in the wedding world: the anti-invite.
Call it harsh or downright rude, but in the article senior editor of TODAY, Rina Raphael, informs readers that more couples are sending out these alerts than you may think. In today's economy, those who are planning weddings are keeping a closer eye on their budgets which often means that the guest list is the first place to downsize. Add to that the fact that we are an "information oversharing generation," and many of us feel compelled to let people know everything... even stuff that's better left unsaid. Stuff like, "Actually, you're NOT invited to the wedding!"
The most amusing part of the article is when Raphael interviewed an anonymous bride who informed friends that they were placed on a waiting list for her wedding and would be notified if 'an opening' came up for a full invitation. These second-tier friends harbored some resentment, but STILL readily accepted the invite, even if they were labeled as 'B-list' friends.
Ha! What will they think of next?!
I don't think I'm feeling this trend. What happened to the days when non-guests just figured out they weren't invited when they simply didn't get a save the date in the mail?

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Vice President Joe Biden, who spearheaded the White House's effort to find ways of reducing gun violence, admitted to reporters Thursday that any measures passed by Congress would fail in totally eliminating gun deaths.
But attempts must be made, he said, particularly as Americans are demanding an answer from the government on how to end tragedies like the December massacre in Connecticut.
"Nothing we are going to do is fundamentally going to alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting or guarantee that we will bring gun deaths down," Biden said after meeting with Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill. He was there to build support for gun control legislation currently making its way through Congress.
In December and early January, Biden led a panel assigned by President Barack Obama to look into the issue of gun violence. Using the group's recommendations, Obama proposed that Congress pass laws reinstating an assault weapons ban, limiting gun magazine capacity, and expanding the type of gun sales requiring background checks.
Democrats have said the background check measure would stand the best chance of garnering bipartisan support, including from some pro-gun Democrats.
At a congressional hearing Wednesday, Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said that he is in talks with colleagues -- including several who are ranked highly by the NRA -- on possible legislation to expand background checks on private gun sales.
Sources close to both Schumer and Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma told CNN the two were in serious discussions about co-sponsoring a bill to strengthen background checks.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, has proposed reinstating an assault weapons ban, which was in place for a decade beginning in 1994. It expired in 2004 and hasn't been renewed. Biden said Thursday that he "made the case not only for assault weapons but for the entire set of recommendations as the president laid out."
Biden told reporters Thursday he believed there has been "a sea change in attitudes of the American people" on guns following the December 14 shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
"I believe that the American people will not understand, and I know everyone in that [Democratic] Caucus agrees with me, will not understand if they don't act," Biden said.

Bioluminescent assays are uniquely suited for high throughput screening due to their inherent high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and low susceptibility to compound interference. G-protein-coupled receptors constitute a major target class for the development of new drugs. The activity of these receptors can be monitored via readouts at various stages of the signal transduction cascade. Traditional bioluminescent GPCR assay involves using luciferase as a genetic reporter linked to appropriate response elements. Recent improvements in reporter technology have enhanced the dynamics, sensitivity, and reliability of these assays. A new assay allows quantitation of cAMP in cell lysates through its regulation of protein kinase A activity, where the ATPase activity can be detected using bioluminescence. Another novel assay format based on a genetically encoded luciferase biosensor allows direct detection of cAMP within living cells. Comparison studies of these assays using HEK293 cells expressing dopamine receptor D1 are presented. Together, these bioluminescent assays provide more tools for GPCR drug discovery.

Israelis give their votes to Palestinians in Facebook campaign
Israelis are giving their votes to Palestinians in a Facebook campaign. Indonesian web users report on the flooding that has paralyzed parts of Jakarta. And America's First Lady launches her official Twitter account.
Israelis give their votes to Palestinians in Facebook campaign
Israelis are set to go to the polls in this Tuesday's general election; but Naef, a West Bank Palestinian, does not have the right to cast his vote. However in this online video, Moriel a voter from Jerusalem promises to vote on his behalf for the left wing Meretz party.
The two men came into contact via this Facebook group called "Real Democracy", an online initiatives aimed at introducing Palestinians who wish to have their say in Israeli politics and Israelis prepared to donate their right to vote. The peaceful activists behind the campaign are urging Israel to leave the occupied territories, or at least give Palestinians the opportunity to vote in elections that ultimately influence their lives.
Tamar posted this video online last week explaining that she has relinquished her right to vote to protest against what she perceives as an apartheid regime in Israel. And so the Tel Aviv resident will be casting a vote on behalf of a Palestinian who goes under the name of George who backs the Israeli Arab political party, Balad.
Shimri has donated his vote to a 19 year old Palestinian named Omar, who has asked him to boycott the election. This could well be a popular choice among Israel's Arab population, with many tempted to abstain despite having the right to vote.
Indonesia floods: state of emergency declared in Jakarta
Heavy downpours and unprecedented flooding have paralyzed the Indonesian capital Jakarta over the past few days and the authorities have declared the city in a state of emergency until January 27. Local web users have been posting their accounts and sharing reports of events as they unfurl.
Countless amateur photos have been posted online showing several areas of Jakarta flooded or underwater, providing an insight into what residents have been dealing with since last week. Staggering pictures that show for example how in many parts of the capital it is no longer possible to get around by car, stranded residents have been forced to find alternative means of transport like this family that managed to flee on this makeshift raft…
Social networks are not just being used to share photos of the flooding; locals are also turning to these platforms to share information and updates on the situation at the scene. Web users have been posting under the hashtags « #Banjir JKT » which means" Jakarta flooding" or « #Berbagi SELIMUT » which means "share your blanket" to express solidarity with victims of the flooding, appeal to those that can to provide a roof over the heads of people who have been forced to flee their homes or to donate some money to help pay for basic essentials.
And while parts of the capital have been brought to a standstill, some locals have been snapped having some fun. These shots have been doing the rounds on sharing sites showing children and adults larking around in the water. Astonishing images illustrating how some keep smiling despite the scale of the present crisis.
Now trending on social networks
Michelle Obama launched her new official Twitter account on Thursday; she can now be tweeted at @FLOTUS First Lady of the United States. The page will provide information and updates on the daily activities and duties of the wife of the American president. It will be run essentially by Michelle Obama's staff, although she is fan of social networks and has said she will also post messages on a regular basis and her tweets will be signed with the initials MO. The account which runs in parallel with Mrs Obama's personal Twitter account launched last year, already has over 141 000 followers.
Can Twitter predict the Oscars?
Can Twitter predict the Oscars? Although the prestigious American film awards won't be announced until the 24th February, the micro blogging site has launched a platform that will track what people are tweeting about this year's Oscar nominees. The nominees will then be rated on a scale of 0 to 100 depending on the level of positive feedback they receive. The ratings vary from day to day but give a strong indication of web users' favourites. And Twitter's current favourite to win the Oscar for Best Picture is "Silver Linings Playbook".
Video of the day
Chris Weller has produced this animation to celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the creation of PacMan and pay tribute the well-known video game character. The short film is called "Goodnight, Sweet Pakman" and gives a modern twist to the little yellow guy's adventures…
