Your floors are bound to get dirty, and you should not bother trying to prevent it. All you can do is make sure you clean them regularly, so they do not accumulate an excessive amount of dirt and grime. Each type of flooring must be cared for differently, though, as every material has unique properties and a unique way of being cleaned. For the most part, in addition to the routine cleaning that you do every day or week, many types of flooring also require a more thorough, professional cleaning, every year or every couple of years. In the case of carpeted floors, it is particularly important that you schedule a professional carpet cleaning, every year. This serves to eliminate the long-term griminess that can build up in your carpet, after months of being walked on. When choosing among professional carpet cleaners, you need to mindful of their cleaning techniques, as steam cleaning is no longer the best option. Companies like Brooke's Chem-Dry utilize carbonated extraction, instead, which is a much more effective, sanitary, and environmentally-responsible method.
Carbonated extraction is a revolutionary cleaning system that is now considered the best and most efficient way to clean your carpets, and it also happens to be much better for the environment. The reason it is so much more effective is the fact that it uses a much more precise cleaning system. It relies on tiny bubbles of carbonation that rise up to the surface of the carpet, with little particles of dirt, mold, and anything else that was trapped in your carpet. After that, the device simply removes the particles from the carpet, altogether. The reason that it is much more sanitary is the fact that it does not leave your carpet wet for nearly as long because it uses a lot less water. Because of this, you do not need to spend the night in a hotel, as your carpet is dry enough to walk on in only a few hours. Steam cleaning is much less sanitary, as it leaves your carpet wet overnight, which provides a lot of time for mold and bacteria to grow. In general, the more quickly something is dried, the fewer germs will be present on it. So, when it comes to carpet cleaning, carbonation is the latest and greatest advancement.
Carpets are not the only type of floors that need regular professional cleaning, though. In fact, most types of flooring require some type of special care. In the case of tiled floors, you must be very careful how you clean them, as doing the wrong thing can actually damage them. Though carbonated extraction cannot be used on tiled floors, Brooke's Chem-Dry has other specialized equipment for removing dirt and grime from tiled floors, without causing any damage to the flooring, itself. Their tile cleaning devices can effectively remove every bit of dirt, grime, and mold from your tiled floors, and they will leave them looking as smooth and polished as they were the day they were installed.

By Tim Graham
George Wilson laughed at the idea that as Valentine's Day approaches, he's being courted for the first time in his career.
On Monday, the Buffalo Bills released Wilson, a defensive captain who started every game last season at strong safety. He led the Bills with 73 solo tackles, was second with 98 total tackles and had five pass breakups.
CBS Sports reporter Jason La Caonfora tweeted today that Wilson already has meetings scheduled with the Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions with more teams possibly interested.
Wilson told WGRZ Channel 2 sports anchor Adam Benigni that the Bills' decision was expected because they want 2011 fourth-round draft choice Da'Norris Searcy to play.
"When I took my contract in Buffalo after Donte Whitner left, how those negotiations went, I kind of knew that I was just a Band-Aid to over up the wound for a moment, not for an extended period of time," Wilson told Benigni. "Even though I had every desire to finish my career as a Bill, I understand the business side of it."
Wilson, an undrafted wide receiver who was converted to defense, lamented missed opportunities.
He dropped what should have been an interception two plays before Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck completed a fourth-down touchdown pass with 63 seconds left to beat the Bills in Week Seven.
On the St. Louis Rams' game-winning drive inside the two-minute warning of Week 14, Wilson missed two chances to intercept Sam Bradford.
"I only have control over what I do when I'm out there on the field," Wilson said. "I had those opportunities. I didn't make those plays. And I'm a former Bill now.
"But I'm not going to focus on that particular part of my experience in Buffalo. I've had too many good years and have came across too many great people to just focus on my last season there. I just look at it overall as a great ride."

Eric Wood was patient in his rehab from ACL surgery throughout training camp, slowly ramping up his work level.
The Buffalo Bills' center believes that approach was the right one and that he's now ready to play four quarters of regular-season football.
Asked whether he's ready for 50 or 60 plays when the Bills open the season Sunday at the New York Jets (last year, the Bills ran 53 and 67 plays, respectively, in their two losses against New York), Wood said: "Yeah, that should be fine. I have taken up to that many reps in practice already. Not necessarily in a game-like setting, so it will be a challenge, but I think I will be all right."
Coach Chan Gailey also believes Wood is ready for a full workload.
"I think if we had a 15-play [drive], a turnover and a 15-play drive after that, that might tax him a little bit," the coach said. "I just have to make sure [quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick] scores in less than 15 plays, and we'll be all right."

"Toward the middle of the 16th century, there lived on the banks of the Havel a horsedealer by the name of Michael Kohlhaas… One of the most upright and at the same time one of the most terrible men of his day… The world would have every reason to bless his memory, if he had not carried one virtue to excess: his sense of justice turned him into a brigand and a murderer."
So begins Heinrich von Kleist's classic novella about principles, law and revenge. As the book's synopsis reads: "Based on actual historic events, this thrilling saga of violence and retribution bridged the gap between medieval and modern literature, and speaks so profoundly to the contemporary spirit that it has been the basis of numerous plays, movies, and novels. It has become, in fact, a classic tale: that of the honourable man forced to take the law into his own hands. In this incendiary prototype, a minor tax dispute intensifies explosively, until the eponymous hero finds the forces of an entire kingdom, and even the great Martin Luther, gathered against him. But soon even Luther comes to echo the growing army of peasants asking, Isn't Kohlhaas right?"
It's extremely helpful to keep Kleist's deceptively simple book in mind while viewing Arnaud des Pallières' atmospheric and sturdy adaptation, which is transposed to 16th-century Cévennes and stars a commanding Mads Mikkelsen. Pallières has spoken of it as a medieval Western but its critical questions—Can terrorism be justified? Is the state monopoly on violence the basis for civilization?—reflect extremely contemporary concerns.

One of the most anticipated autobiographies of this generation, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall is the candid story of one of the world's most remarkable actors, businessmen, and world leaders.
Born in the small city of Thal, Austria, in 1947, Arnold Schwarzenegger moved to Los Angeles at the age of 21. Within 10 years, he was a millionaire businessman. After 20 years, he was the world's biggest movie star. In 2003, he was elected governor of California and became a household name around the world.
Chronicling his embodiment of the American Dream, Total Recall covers Schwarzenegger's high-stakes journey to the United States, from creating the international bodybuilding industry out of the sands of Venice Beach, to breathing life into cinema's most iconic characters, and becoming one of the leading political figures of our time. Proud of his accomplishments and honest about his regrets, Schwarzenegger spares nothing in sharing his amazing story.

"Totally Worth It"
I must have picked this audible book up on sale. The life of Arnold never was an inspiration to me. When I started listening my plan was to skip over the bodybuilding part. Who knew that this would be fascinating and the entire autobiography would be such a pleasant inspiring read.
Schwarzenegger has accomplished a lot in life and his formula for success in the three diverse fields of bodybuilding, acting and politics is worth hearing about. Although there are probably some distortions in his account, enough of the measure of the man comes through that demands your respect.
I am not a Republican by nature but would be happy with Arnold as a leader because he knows the value of compromise and he thinks independently and does not blindly follow an entire ideology.
Whatever your political inclination is - you have to admire this man who always got results.
"Read by the author, my eye!"
This is a wonderful telling of Arnold Schwarzenegger's life. I say telling because while the audio book is advertised as 'read by the author', in fact, Stephen Lang reads all but two chapters. I would have preferred to hear the story in the author's words. The details are very well presented and the listener gets a real insight into the life of Mr Schwarzenegger.
Wazoo Books
"True LIES and Alibis~ Brilliant ~ 5 STARS"
Arnold's Bio~ This starts with his life as a boy in Austria with a less than close relationship with his father. His drive to get ahead by body building which takes him by storm as a teenager. While other boys had girl pin ups Arnold has american body builds in his room leading his mother to worry about his sexuality. His "goal" was to become a body builder and win the biggest titles using this to gain wealth and move to the USA and become a movie star. His very intelligent approach to business and his amazing ability to FOCUS. As his body becomes huge he wins several World Titles and he ends up in LA at the Gold Gym he read about in his teens. He sets up a mail order business selling body building phamplets His first efforts in the movies was PUMPING IRON which caught the attention of the Hollywood crowd. He becomes a millionaire and invested in buildings and land. He gets an education taking business courses. He became an American Citizen. At a fund raiser he comes in contact with the lovely Maria Shriver. He evenutally marries. His movie career takes off to make him the highest paid and biggest box office star. Arnold makes his own decisions even after he is married. He decided not to tell Maria he needed open heart surgery. He was planning on running on the republican ticket for Governor of California and told Maria only *days* before his David Letterman annoucement. Arnold is at best brilliant but perhaps is the worlds great salesman. He can sell himself in bodybuilding, acting, and republican governor in a very democratic state. He finally confessed a life changing "secret" the day after was no longer governor. He has a 14 year old son with his housekeeper. He stated he only suspected the boy was his after the boy was 7. Arnold has a trick he uses throughout his book. His ablity to ignore anything that would cause him trouble. He puts in a "compartment" in his mind and trys his best to keep it "under raps". Arnold comes across as a very intelligent and interesting man. His EGO is as big as he is. We see the flaws in this bigger than life man and his secrets that help destroy his marriage. Arnold at best is a survivor. This is an excellent audiobook. It is very well written and the story flows along. The Reader Stephen Lang is very good and Arnold reads parts himself. I give this 5 STARS over all for a better than I ever expected Bio.
"Very interesting"
Agree with him or not, it is a very interesting story about a very eventful life. I enjoyed the story greatly.
I write reviews to help readers, not to win votes. My reviews are my honest opinion whether popular or not. I hope they help you. ;)
"Get to the Chopper, the Book!"
I liked hearing Arnold's story and his take on life. Especially that he could make a lot of mistakes along the way and still be a huge success. The only weak part is that the story can drag at points and the narratation as weak at times. I definitely prefer the parts Arnold reads himself.
Just learning more about someone who I admire and what makees him tick.
I am not a huge fan of biographies as a whole, but I would consider it.
Maybe a mini-series, but I don't think the demand would be there. WHo should be the star? Seriously... Three guessess ha-ha.
This was an interesting listen if you can get past the slow points and wooden narrarator.
"A modern day renaissance man"
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a prime example of someone whose focus and determination set him apart from other people. Athlete, businessman, actor, public servant, philanthropist...the list goes on and on. He embodies so many qualities that I find admirable. I grew up watching his celebrity rise through movies and then peak as governor of California. I always wondered what kind of man could go to a foreign country without speaking the language and become so successful. The book provided insight into his motivations, ambition and intelligence. I found his life story fascinating, although I think there were times he did not give us the whole story. Some may fault him for his foibles and peccadilloes, but who among us is perfect in thought and deed? In fact, I believe his weaknesses make him easier to relate to. I highly recommend this autobiography from a truly exceptional modern renaissance man.
"Very much enjoyed"
Yup, but only since I don't like reading
There were quite a few throughout the book. I don't know much about american politics but quite enjoyed his account of his years spent as governor. Also enjoyed how he talked about body building and the physical requirements. There are a few funny stories too!
Arnold of course.
Same as the title.
"Fascinating and engaging!"
Excellent biography. Felt honest and provided insight into a persona that I had mainly formed an impression on from Arnie movies.
Arnie narrates the first and last chapter in first person so it's a little weird when Stephen Lang takes over, but you soon get used to him speaking in first person without the Austrian accent!
Highly recommend.
"Oustanding. Inspiring."
It was impossible to stop listening. His story is simply awesome.
His bodybuilding years were great.
It really did not feel like i was listening to someone else than Arnold. His tone was great.
Best bio sofar.
"Surprisingly A Great and Informative Story"
The title "My Unbelievably True Life Story" needs to accent the 'unbelievably" part more - his story, success and adventures were an amazing listen. Yes we knew the end result of his recent marital issues, but little did i know about his path and efforts to success. I have told so many people about this book as i progressed and encouraged many to listen as well. His centrist political views are, in my opinion, a majority of the nation and he would be successful again in politics if he tried. Grew to respect the Governator more.
"Interesting life. "
A very accurate events of the authors life. The book goes into great detail about all aspects of Schwarzenegger's life from his early childhood back home in Austria to his multi million dollar movies to his body building. The man has clearly led a packed life, full of exciting and interesting moments.
He really goes into detail about his days bodybuilding and his movies, his lie life ad marriage break down.
I would really recommend this book to any fan of his movies as it allows you to understand the man behind the characters.
"Salesmans "true" story"
I enjoyed the early days and opinions of LA. His burgeoning businesses were very interestingBest part were the detailed explanations of each film. ( dissapointed commando was hardly mentioned)
Lots of moments (24 hour book). Military stories were fun.
I was disapointed when Arnie only done the first chapter but once the other voice took over he was very good too.
I wasnt moved to tears but i was amazed at the honesty regarding his "affair" with the housekeeper. i didnt excpect this to be in the book but it was handled in a very up front manner.
I remember reading arnies first biog as a child and being very motivated, now it transpires he did take steroids. This part is handled very tentatively and whilst i loved the story and its telling i think the steroid element should have had much greater importance given in this story. He mentions drug testing happens in bodybuilding now but we know bodybuilders continue to openly abuse steroids.For all his faults which he admits to, Arnie continues to have the ability to inspire. Any young person with a goal or lack of could do worse than listening to this book.Straight into my do not delete library.
This is such a well told story of a remarkable mans life, so much so that I have thoroughly annoyed my friends and family going on about it. I bought it for fun really thinking that Arnold hasn't released anything before really so it would be interesting, but it's so much more. From the start you know this is going to be a tale of rags to riches but throughout all of it you cant help but admire everything about him, from his determination to succeed in life and break the mould, to his gentle nature and just the way he speaks about everything as 'matter of fact' and at no point does he get bitter about events in his life or adopt the 'Woe is me' view which so many of our modern day celebrities do. This was a real eye opener to me and an inspiration, and I believe that no matter who you and what you think of him, everyone should listen to the last chapter titled 'Arnold's Rules' (narrated by arnold himself). It puts a lot of so called motivational speakers and life coaches to shame and is something I have listened to on it's own several times. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone, safe in the knowledge that they will take away something positive with them.
"Good listen"
Fear not, Arnie does not read all of it.
I was worried that he would read the whole book. Thankfully Stephen Lang was hired to finish the job. Arnie's style of narrating just didn't sound right to me and made for difficult listening.
Over all it was a good insight to the man. I do think it is maybe part of a PR campaign to recover his image. The other thing which stuck out was the references to his 'amazing wife'. Just seemed like this book was a way of sucking up to her to get her back.
Over all a great read.
"Too long, too much."
Well, his life story is quite something. But in the end I got bored by the great 'I am' that comes with such a successful life. The book does go on and on. So you have to be a real Arnold fan to wade through this. His early life is the most interesting part, after that it is all predictable.
"Without Fear"
If you are interesting as to what makes someone successful then here is one of the greatest examples. When you consider he knew no one when he got to America with limited English and a basic education Arnie became one of the greatest, certainly the most famous bodybuilders of all time. He then went on to be one of the highest paid actors of all time and then governor of California not once but twice. The remarkable thing is that he doesn't think of himself as remarkable he just wanted it and did what was needed to get it, without fear.
"You can't help but be impressed with Arnold"
Fascinating , Insightful , Entertaining
Arnold's Character. A Genuine larger than life personally, who created his whole life story from nothing, very humble origins.
Arnold's of course.
His mothers death - a strong woman who's stubborn reluctance to look after her own heart and take doctors advice was ultimately her own undoing
Arnold's story is told with honesty, and his drive and character to achieve all he sets out to do is a fascinating feature of his personality that you can't fail to be impressed with, as with all the best and most interesting he is far from perfect, and has his own contradictions, loyal but unfaithful, successful but failed his wife and ultimately a failed marriage, in his latter political career he achieved a great deal for the people of California , arguably as governor of California his achievements surpassed that of his film career, a brilliant and inspirational story well told in a true and faithful fashion.
"Worth a listen"
The rags to riches story. As soon as he hit the ground, he set about buying land or property. His goals included finding land or real estate including superstores and an airport. His goal was a million dollars for a movie but this overtaken very quickly.
Arnold and his ambition and rise to fame. He never took no for an answer.
Yes I finished it within a few days.
Good value for 1 credit.
"not much of arnie speaking"
His life story is actually quite interesting and when you stand back to think about what he's saying also quite funny. Arnie speaks for only 2 chapters probably about 1:30 max which annoyed me but he also rambled quite a bit when he spoke so perhaps it was better to have Lang to read.
yeah ok arnie rides again
not really sure
no because his life is pretty dry now
"A man with hidden depths"
Arnie's story is one you really couldn't make up. From the poverty of post war Austria, he trained as a tank driver during National Service, moved to America s Mr Universe, studied business, became a property millionaire and then a movie star. Oh, and then served two terms as the Governor of California. A very intelligent, honest and warm account, written by the man himself.
Maybe the Steve Jobs official biography.
No, but this one was excellent. Stephen Lang does most of the work but you feel it's Arnie speaking throughout. A very listenable voice.
Laugh certainly and thoughtful about how scarily focused this guy is, compared with the way I am!
There's a lot more to Arnie than meets the eye. Even allowing for the fact this is a politician telling his own story, there's enough documented evidence in this book that he has a life worth reading about if you like biographies.

Valparaiso (1-5)
Mercer (5-1)
10/12/2013 | Macon, Ga. | Attendance: 8272

Saturday, October 12, 2013
The Mercer Bears (5-1, 2-1 PFL) assembled three scoring drives over 90 yards to defeat Valpo 35-21 at Anderson Field in Macon, Georgia on Saturday afternoon.
Tanner Kuramata (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif./Claremont) enjoyed an outstanding day as the junior caught two touchdown passes and racked up 170 receiving yards. It was the third time in the last four games Kuramata recorded at least 120 receiving yards.
For the fourth time in six games this season, Valpo scored a touchdown on its opening drive. Valpo (1-5, 1-2 PFL) constructed a 7-play, 65-yard drive capped off by a Denzell Conway (New Orleans, La./MICDS [Mo.]) 7-yard TD run to give the Brown and Gold their first lead of the day.
The defense forced a quick three-and-out on its first stand. The Crusaders continued to dictate the pace of play in the first five minutes until a personal foul took the wind out of the offensive sails. Valpo was unable to move the chains on that drive following the penalty.
Freshman punter Alex Kozlowski (Novi, Mich./Detroit Catholic Central) had a dazzling afternoon as he pinned the Bears inside their own 10-yard line three times. His first punt shoved the Bears back to their own 4.
It was then that Mercer QB John Russ and running back Payton Usher went to work. A Bears offense that has been rush-reliant in the first half of 2013 went back to the well as the home team rattled off a 14-play, 96-yard drive. Russ crossed the goal line from six yards out to complete the series.
A first quarter that saw 101 combined penalty yards ended with the score 7-7.
Kozlowski's second boot of the day was downed inside the Mercer 1-yard line. Russ gave the Bears some breathing room with a three-yard keep before he tossed a 93-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Josh Jones. The extra point made it a 14-7 Mercer lead.
Valpo responded on their ensuing possession. Eric Hoffman (Manitowoc, Wis./Lincoln) had one of his best drives of the day as he went 6-for-7 for 89 yards on a seven-play series. He found Kuramata in the back of the endzone to tie the game at 14-14.
The Crusaders and Bears traded three-and-outs before Mercer took possession with four minutes to play in the second quarter. Faced with a 4th and 2 at the Valpo 25-yard line, head coach Bobby Lamb opted to go for it. With the defense anticipating the rush, Russ threw a TD pass to tight end Robert Brown and the Bears recaptured their seven-point lead.
Mercer led Valparaiso 21-14 at half. Hoffman was 17 of 20 passing and Kuramata had 142 receiving yards in the first half.
Similar to last week, the Crusaders saw a heavy diet of rushes in the second half. Halfway through the third quarter, Usher broke off a 41-yard carry to move the Bears into the red zone. Six plays later, Mercer extended its lead to 28-14 thanks to a quarterback keep by Russ. The Bears held the ball for 9:59 in the third quarter.
Mercer continued to pound the ball in the final quarter as a 92-yard drive made it a 35-14 ball game. Seven of the nine plays on that sequence were on the ground.
To their credit, the Crusaders kept chipping away. The offense responded with a quick pass attack that culminated in Kuramata's second TD catch of the afternoon from Hoffman.
With the score at 35-21, Valpo recovered the ensuing kickoff at the Mercer 24 following a Bear fumble. Hoffman and running back Brandon Hall (Muskegon, Mich./Orchard View) drove the Crusaders deep into Bears territory, but an incomplete pass on 4th and goal from the 6 thwarted a potential comeback. The Brown and Gold didn't get the ball back after the turnover on downs.
Hoffman finished the day 30-of-39 for 316 yards and two touchdowns. At 170 yards, Kuramata was the only receiver in the game to record more than 100 yards.
Russ rushed for exactly 100 yards and threw for 192. He threw - and ran in for - two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Usher netted 109 yards on 19 carries.
Valpo will return to Brown Field next Saturday when it welcomes Morehead State (2-4, 2-1 PFL) to town. Kickoff is slated for 1:00 pm.
