During his fourth missionary journey, Paul had instructed Timothy to care for the church at Ephesus while he went on to Macedonia. ( 1 Timothy 1:3). When he realized that he might not return to Ephesus in the near future, he wrote the first letter to Timothy. Paul chooses his words carefully as he instructs Timothy As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus Besought is a strong word that Paul used to convey a sense of urgency and to show that the Christian leader is responsible to instruct those he leads. In 1 Timothy 3:15, Paul articulates the reason for the letter and clarifies his instruction to the young Timothy: But if I tarry long, that thou may knowest how thou oughtest to behave thyself1. He wanted to articulate his leadership values to Timothy.

A leader that is willing to expend resources without clearly defined and articulated values is essentially creating a formula for failure. Enthusiasm, excitement, innovation, and zeal can be great traits with proper direction. Values constitute this direction. If leaders do not deliberately shape organizational values, the organization will form its own. "Your organization will be guided by values, whether or not you deliberately decide what those values are. It can't be assumed that naturally occurring values will be desirable.2 Paul understood that it was essential to define Christian leadership values for Timothy and the other leaders at Ephesus through his letter.

Though the letter was addressed to Timothy, it was designed for the benefit of the entire church to provide instruction on the conduct of leadership. In a time where books were scarce, Paul was undoubtedly aware that the letter would be read to the entire congregation. Leaders at every level must be aware of how their personal values shape the values-based culture. This does not mean that they have to infuse their own values into the organization. However, leaders who ignore their responsibility to shape organizational values will create a culture that is not moving in the direction they want to go. If organizational culture is left to self-formation, it will run to the lowest common denominator and form its own restrictive and counterproductive rulebook.3 We must carefully choose, train, and develop anyone aspiring to leadership.

What Type of Vacuum Cleaner is Best?

A vacuum cleaner is the most effective of cleaning tools; it can also be the more expensive. There are many different types of vacuum with many different features. So before you buy a top rated vacuum cleaner make sure you know what type of vacuum cleaner is best for your needs.

Choosing the best vacuum cleaner can be confusing. To help make things clearer you should know what the different types of vacuum are, what the main features you can find on a vacuum cleaner, and want you type of flooring you will be using a vacuum cleaner on.

There are two main types of vacuum cleaner: upright and cylinder. Both offer advantages and disadvantages. Before deciding if you should by a canister or upright, you should ask yourself a few questions. The following guidelines will help you find the answer.

Upright vacuum cleaners are heavier than cylinder vacuums. An upright vacuum cleaner can be more difficult to manoeuvre and less suited to cleaning small gaps and spaces. If weight is an issue, then you are best off with a canister vacuum. Many uprights come with attachments to help you clean those more hard-to-get-at places. The Oreck XL upright vacuum cleaner is one of the lightest on the market, weighing in at only 8lbs! However, the Oreck doesn't come with attachments, and you have to wind on the cord by hand. The main advantage of upright vacuum cleaners is suction power. The motor is nearer the vacuum head than a cylinder.

Cylinder vacuum cleaners are easier to use because the motor units tends to be smaller and you can vacuum a large area with the head, without having to move the motor. Most cylinder vacuum cleaners come with attachments that are housed inside them for quick retrieval and put-away. The Electrolux Harmony canister vacuum is an excellent vacuum and has been designed to be ultra quiet.

Both upright and canister vacuum cleaner offer features to make cleaning better, or more convenient, or safer. The following is a list of the main features that come with vacuum cleaners. It should be borne in mind that the more features a vacuum cleaner has, the more expensive it will be.

Power

A vacuum cleaner with powerful suction can depend on many things but the wattage of the motor is a very good indicator of its power. The more Watts a vacuum has, the more powerful it is. A good figure for a cylinder cleaner is around 1400 Watts, and 1300 for an upright.

Bag or Bagless

This seems to be the latest, and most confusing, feature on many vacuum cleaners. Until recently, all vacuum cleaners collected dirt in a bag. However, this changed when Dyson vacuum cleaners came on to the market. The main disadvantage with vacuums that use bags is loss of suction as the bag fills up. A bagless vacuum like the Dyson DC07 upright vacuum cleaner does not use dust bags but induces suction by means of centrifugal force. Vacuums that don't use bags don't loose suction power. Bagless vacuum cleaners tend to be more expensive that ones that use bags. Another disadvantage of bagless vacuum cleaners is empty the dust cup. Bagged models can be more hygienic because the dirt and dust is collected in a sealed bag. If you or anyone in your house is asthmatic then it is better to go for a bagged cleaner.

Filtration

When a vacuum sucks up dirt some particles are expelled out the exhaust of the vacuum. The type of filter determines the size and number of particles that are expelled. There are now three types of filters on offer. Standard filtration is now usually found in only low cost vacuum cleaners. If you buy a vacuum cleaner with standard filtration, make sure you look for one with more than one filtration level. S-class and HEPA filters greatly reduce the number and size of particles that are emitted back into the air. These types of filter retain up to 99.97% of dust, down to 0.3 microns (microscopic in size). Allergy sufferers should only consider using HEPA filters. There are now many top rated HEPA vacuum cleaners, the Eureka 3684D canister vacuum being one of the best.

Other Types of Vacuum Cleaners

There are many other types of vacuum cleaners offering specialized cleaning capabilities. Stick vacuum cleaner are light weight and meant for small cleaning jobs and are great for high area such as the tops of curtains. Handheld vacuum cleaners are also meant for clearing up spills and typically come with a wall mounting and charging unit.

Steam vacuum cleaners use steam to lift out dirt from carpets. These are very effective in getting out ground in dirt. They are not that difficult to use and a good quality steam vacuum like the Hoover SteamVac should leave the carpet dry to the touch after use. Finally, Wet and Dry vacuum cleaners are versatile units. They can be used in dry mode exactly like their more common counterparts. But they can also be used to clean your carpet with water and carpet shampoo, leaving your carpet clean and sweet smelling. The Eureka InstaRinse Cleaning System is an excellent wet to dry vacuum.

Deciding on what vacuum cleaner is best is first deciding on what your requirement are. There are many excellent vacuum cleaners on the market from companies like Hoover, Dyson, Eureka and Electrolux. All these companies - and others - make 'the best vacuum', but whether it is the best vacuum cleaner for cleaning your carpets, depends on your exact requirements.

Visit classvacuumcleaners.com to find what is the best vacuum cleaner for you from brands such as Eureka vacuum cleaners and Dyson vacuum cleaners amongst others.

2008 Score Football Card # 43 Brad Hoover FB - Carolina Panthers / Highly Collectible NFL Football Card!


It really doesn't matter if you love or hate Google.

Either way, you have to admit they are a pretty shrewd outfit. Coming from a standing start just over seven years ago, they have streaked past more longer-established search engines, such as Yahoo, to dominate the internet.

In fact, like Hoover, their name is now a generic term for using search engines, with the verb "Googled" now firmly established in dictionaries all over the world.

So, when Google paid, $1.6 billion for a fledgling business just over a year old you know something big is occurring. And that something is online video.

Another milestone was passed in May 2007, when Google was the first search engine to incorporate video results into their main results: "Universal Search". So, from now on, you will gradually see an increasing mix of text and video on the same pages.

Right now, the ratio of video to text is tiny, which is where our advantage comes in. Eventually, the reverse will be the case, by which time you'll be firmly established as an internet top dog.

Now Yahoo have recently followed Google by giving their search engine visitors the choice of text or video search. The advantage to us is that, a few days after our videos are listed on Google, Yahoo take them and display them on their listings. This means we get an extra 25% exposure for absolutely no extra effort!

So video is certainly not some passing fad, that you can safely ignore. The only reason video wasn't pre-eminent on the internet from Day One was simply the technology did not exist.

Now it does, it's interesting to see Adobe copying Google's business plan and acquiring the ready made technology of businesses, such as Macromedia (Flash) and, more recently, the video editing expertise of Serious Magic.

The guys who really set the seal on online video was the Adobe Corporation, Having acquired Macromedia and their Flash technology, Adobe repeated what they had done to make their PDF document system so ubiquitous and gave away free Flash players.

Like the Adobe Acrobat Reader, there is a version for both Macs and PCs, making online video viewable on a common standard by virtually anyone with an internet connection.

Add to that the almost universal use of high speed broadband internet connections and video is all set to take its rightful place as the major method of online communication - just as TV is the major communication medium off-line.

So what can you use online video for?

The short answer is this. . . to vastly increase the success of every aspect of your internet marketing.

Not only can you use it to develop a very visible presence on the search engine results, but you can also use it in your entire marketing operation from creating more compelling opt-ins for your mailing list to increasing the conversion rates of your sales page and even creating whole new product lines, using video.

Why video:

Although humans communicate with words, our brains work in pictures. Remember that saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words"? So just imagine, if a picture is worth a thousand words, how much more effective moving pictures, in the form of video is.

How can you use video?

As today using online video on your internet sites is just scratching the endless possibilities of what video can really do for you to increase your online sales.

So to get your mind going here are five simple tips how you can use video:

**Video Squeeze Pages: there are marketers that use simple five
second videos showing something like "Claim your free gift
today" on their landing or squeeze pages. Putting the video in
an exit pop-up window can triple your opt-in rates.

**Video Testimonials: displaying one or more video testimonials
from satisfied clients gives your product or service "social
proof" and doing so will give you more credibility. Users love
to hear what others are saying about "product XY" and it makes
their decision process "to buy or not to buy" much more easier.

**Produce video tutorials: if you are into "how to" products,
writing ebooks etc. why not create video tutorials and add those
to your existing product? People nowadays love to get things
delivered via multimedia. Also positive learning effects come
much faster by watching a step by step video than by reading a
60 page tutorial.

**Use videos to promote affiliate products: if you promote
Clickbank products, you can produce simple videos that give a
short overview of the product and expose the main benefits. This
way you'll have an unfair advantage over other affiliates that
are all using the same provided merchandising tools.

**Use video to increase your affiliate sales: if you let
affiliates sell your products, you can give them promotional
videos, which they can show visitors of their websites and after
that redirect to your sales page. It's a proven fact that providing
affiliates with effective merchandising tools is a highly effective
way to increase sales and what better tool than videos can you
think of to provide?

So if you want to get more website traffic and increase online sales, you should ask yourself: How do I get started on my own online video site?

Marcus Schroefel runs a huge online video network and has helped many people creating their own on-line videos on a shoestring budget through his online video tutorials: http://SecretOnlineVideoProfits.info He is a full time internet publisher and marketer, who has published lots of ebooks and multi-media courses and far too many videos to mention here.

Steam cleaners are used on carpets; they emit steam to moisterize the carpet before picking up dirt. One of the products that have made a big difference in our usual cleaning routine is a steam cleaner. Steam cleaners have been quite popular because of their versatility and flexibility. They are not only used for household purposes, but for industrial applications as well. This cleaning device is considered one of the most potent and practical tools for cleaning and disinfecting, especially in supermarkets, sports arena, automobile shops and other places commonly visited by people.

Many consumers prefer to use a steam cleaner to other traditional cleaning methods, because of its innumerable advantages in cleaning and sanitizing. Aside from those advantages and benefits, it is a wonder how steam cleaners work. Simple tap water generates heated dry steam that removes dirt embedded in carpets and upholstery.

Another good point of these cleaners is that they do not pose a danger to our environment. Anyone can use them since they are not detrimental to one's health and over all being. These cleaners are not only safe to use, they are also proven effective in taking out the dust and stains along with other noxious waste and allergens.

Hence, you can use steam cleaners for every room in your home. Rugs in your living room will look brand new. If you have carpets in your children's rooms, what better way to keep them safe from unwanted germs. Steam cleaners are particularly helpful if you own pets. Grime and odor simply disappears.

Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression

Studs Terkel's classic history of the Great Depression.

In this unique re-creation of one of the most dramatic periods in modern American history, Studs Terkel recaptures the Great Depression of the 1930s in all its complexity. The book is a mosaic of memories from those who were richest to those who were most destitute: politicians like James Farley and Raymond Moley; businessmen like Bill Benton and Clement Stone; a six-day bicycle racer; artists and writers; racketeers; speakeasy operators, strikers, and impoverished farmers; people who were just kids; and those who remember losing a fortune.

Hard Times is not only a gold mine of information-much of it little known-but also a fascinating interplay of memory and fact, showing how the Depression affected the lives of those who experienced it firsthand, often transforming the most bitter memories into a surprising nostalgia.
Customer Review: gives voices to those who lived through the Depression
As a former grad student in History, I found this book fascinating. Author Studs Terkel interviews people who lived through the Depression and gets their takes on that difficult period. We hear the experiences and memories of those who lived through it from multiple points of view. The book was published in 1970 and much of the research was accordingly done during the second half of the '60s which was also quite a turbulent time in the United States. Accordingly, a question which Terkel most frequently asks his subjects is how people would react to a Depression at that time. Most thought little of the ability of those coming of age or boomers during the '60s to weather the travails of the Depression. Many also thought that a worse Depression was coming. That would seem not to have been the case although it would seem that since the publication of this book, the economic standing of the large majority of Americans has actually decreased. With the current economic troubles in the United States (and the world), it was interesting to read of the difficulties experienced by many people during the Depression. It was also very interesting to read of the strong anti-Roosevelt-ism among many business magnates and the highest ranks of the upper-middle class. It was also intriguing to read of the belief of some that the Depression did not extend past 1936. Having not studied much Depression history in nearly 20 years, at least not in any great depth, and certainly not having heard people offering their own accounts of their experiences during the Depression, this book was tremendously enlightening. Terkel interviews old retired farmers. He interviews men who were factory workers during the Depression. He interviews those who worked in social services attempting to alleviate some of the pains of the Depression. As mentioned, he interviews business magnates. He interviews many who were help during the '30s-many of whom were black. By virtue of his speaking to such a wide variety of people, one does not believe that one has a limited understanding of the range of experiences had by people during this time period. We see history from the point-of-view of those with a wide variety of economic backgrounds. This allows the reader to see the subjectivity of history and introduces points of view (the poor, women, black and Latino people) which one might not read of in a textbook. The stories and their specificity of recall are fascinating. This really is a gem of a book. It expands the range off thinking about the '30s and I am sure opened avenues of thinking to historical researchers who wanted to broaden the scope of recollections about the Depression. If you think you're only getting a limited perspective about the experiences of the '30s, please read this book.
Customer Review: The revolution that shoulda, coulda been
This is the first book I've read on America's experience of the Great Depression of the 1930s. My parents and other relatives and some of my older friends went through it. One man whom I knew, frequently brought it up and with great bitterness and anger, often directing that anger to others around him - especially those who were younger and didn't go through it - while others had little or nothing to say and seemed to brush it aside. Most though, seem to just want to forget it. One fine elderly woman - my grandmother - was incredibly generous and loving to others the rest of her life, because of living through it. It still stuns me to see how these people with similar experiences could react so differently so many years later. The author, being a Chicago man, places a lot of emphasis on the Depression as it hit that city and its citizens. Also he has a definite Left-oriented sort of outlook - and after reading this book it becomes entirely understandable. He frequently brings up the possibilities of revolution during the 1930s when so many ordinary and poor people lost just about everything. But the message comes through clearly that the Americans of those years firstly still had respect for law and order and the government, and secondly they had a kind of optimism or set of positive 'it will pass' illusions that kept them going. Reading how people were treated back then, it is nonetheless a wonder that they really didn't rise up and overthrow the entire capitalist system. If a similar Depression occurred today, it would happen. And that is also the reflection of many voices in this book. I highly recommend this book to everyone. More than anything else, it taught me to understand more clearly how and why different generational values and perceptions were formed from that period - and how they have come to impact succeeding generations.

Typically, getting carpeting cleaned meant using a steam cleaner and spraying a large amount of water on your floors. Afterward, you'd have to avoid walking on the carpets for quite some time because they would still be damp. Fortunately, you don't have to go through that process any longer to get clean carpeting thanks to a new cleaning method that is becoming more popular.

Dry carpet cleaning works in a manner very similar to that used when dry cleaning your clothes. Chemicals are used for the removal of those pesky stains rather than water that is used when steam cleaning. With clothes and carpet that are cleaned by water they will take on a dingy appearance after a while. This isn't the case with chemical cleaning which will leave your carpet dry as well as stain and dirt free for a much longer period of time.

If you rent your home instead of owning it, you can still use dry carpet cleaning, provided you have the permission of your landlord before you begin. Most landlords would see the benefits of dry cleaning and the value it would add to their property. The risk of water damaging the sub-flooring is also much less with chemical cleaning, which would lessen the impact on your neighbors should something go amiss during the cleaning process. The risk of mold and mildew developing in your home or apartment is also greatly decreased since water is not being used.

Dry carpet cleaning may cost a little more than the traditional steam cleaning methods of carpet cleaning but is well worth the additional price tag in most cases. If you want your carpet looking great for guests or your own personal enjoyment then dry carpet cleaning is definitely a process worth considering. More and more professionals are offering this valuable service to consumers as demand grows. Chances are that there is a company near you that offers this valuable carpet cleaning service.

Finding a professional carpet cleaning company is easy. Start with your local Yellow Pages directory, or go browsing on the internet, depending on which you prefer. Carpet doesn't need to show visible stains for it to be dirty and in need of cleaning. It likely has deep down and embedded dirt that dry carpet cleaning could get rid of. Consider this service if you want to extend the life of your carpeting and make it look fresh again.

Bacco Bucci Men's Hoover (Brown 14.0 D)




Many people are still searching the internet for information on how to build a waterfall or koi pond. Unfortunately, there is very little information regarding professional construction. There are thousands of websites involved in marketing pond products to uninformed and unsuspecting customers.

The majority of these sites promotes and advocates the use of rubber pond liners. Why? Because they sell them. Rubber liners are profitable, primarily because of the add-on products related to the pond liner industry. For example, when you construct your pond using a pond liner, you have no choice but to buy all of the related accessories such as a biofilter, special skimmers and drains, and the large variety of energy-sucking, inefficient, short-lived sump pumps.

Rarely do pond liner dealers or installers tell you the whole truth about the unpredictability of liners and sump pumps. Rarely do they acknowledge the truth about the vulnerability of liners after they are installed - whether it be attacks by rats, mice, ground squirrels, gophers, chipmunks or the sharp claws of animals that can puncture the liner in their attempt to get out of the pond after accidentally or purposely entering it. Animals burrow under the liner through the easy access of the loose rocks piled around the pond and waterfall. Against the coolness of the liner, they build their nests and raise their families that can then chew holes in the liner.

Over the past fifteen years I have replaced countless leaky waterfalls and ponds constructed using rubber liners with concrete and rebar construction. In twenty-six years of building over 1900 waterfalls and ponds, I have never had one crack or leak.

Liner advocates tell you their liner has a thirty to forty year warranty, but fail to mention it is against factory defects only. They don't mention the other issues like rodents, heavy rocks stretching and ripping the liner, and damage from children with sharp sticks or garden utensils. I've seen it all!

Many water garden contractors will misrepresent the liner as the best construction material by saying concrete is expensive and it cracks. Yes, that is true, if you don't build it properly using 3500 psi concrete and rebar 8 to 10 inches on center. Plus, they say the alkali poisons the water. That is true only if you don't seal the concrete with a sealer after it is poured. Concrete construction costs 20-25% more than a liner, but it lasts for decades. You only have to replace one liner for the concrete pond to cost considerably less in the long run. In the past five years there have been scores of lawsuits against pond liner contractors and their clients win every time.

Doesn't it make sense to build it right in the first place?
