Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan Steps
Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) are the watchwords of businesses in the Information Technology (IT) world. The predominant role of Wide Area Networks (WANs) in almost all major fields of business has made it an imperative for IT and Network managers across the globe to accelerate their network infrastructure, and also devise workable BC/DR plans.
The primary objective of a Disaster Recovery plan (a.k.a. Business Continuity plan) is the description of how an organization has to deal with potential natural or human-induced disasters. The disaster recovery plan steps that every enterprise incorporates as part of business management includes the guidelines and procedures to be undertaken to effectively respond to and recover from disaster recovery scenarios, which adversely impacts information systems and business operations. Plan steps that are well-constructed and implemented will enable organizations to minimize the effects of the disaster and resume mission-critical functions quickly.
Business Continuity or DRP steps involve an extensive analysis of an organization's business processes, IT infrastructure, data backup, resources, continuity requirements and disaster prevention methods. Secondly, it is the process of creating a comprehensive document encompassing details that will aid businesses in recovering from catastrophic events. Developing a disaster recovery plan differs between enterprises based on business type, processes, the security levels needed, and the organization size. There are various stages involved in developing an effective Disaster Recovery or Business Continuity planning. The key phases and the plan steps are outlined below:
Phase I – Data Collection
- Project should be organized with timeline, resources, and expected output
- Business impact analysis should be conducted at regular intervals
- Risk assessment should be conducted regularly
- Onsite and Offsite Backup and Recovery procedures should be reviewed
- Alternate site location must be selected and ready for use
Phase II – Plan Development and Testing
- Development of Disaster Recovery Plan
- Testing the plan
Phase III – Monitoring and Maintenance
- Maintenance of the Plan through updates and review
- Periodic inspection of DRP
- Documentation of changes
An Enterprise appoints a Disaster Recovery team within the organization, which can actively involve in creating the plan steps, implementing and maintaining the plan. As a priority, businesses organizations create DRP templates as a basis for developing Disaster Recovery plans for the organization. The following steps are taken in creating an efficient disaster recovery or business continuity planning:
The statement of the objective including project details, Onsite/Offsite data, resources, and business type
Disaster Recovery Plan Criteria
A documentation of the procedures as to declaring emergency, evacuation of site pertaining to nature of disaster, active backup, notification of the related officials/DR team/staff, notification of procedures to be followed when disaster breaks out, alternate location specifications, should all be maintained. It is beneficial to be prepared in advance with sample DRPs and disaster recovery examples so that every individual in an organization are better educated on the basics. A workable business continuity planning template or scenario plans are available with most IT-based organizations to train employees with the procedures to be carried out in the event of a catastrophe.
DR Team – Roles and Responsibilities
Documentation should include identification and contact details of key personnel in the disaster recovery team, their roles and responsibilities in the team.
Contingency Procedures
The routine to be established when operating in contingency mode should be determined and documented. It should include inventory of systems and equipment in the location; descriptions of process, equipment, software; minimum requirements of processing; location of vital records with categories; descriptions of data and communication networks, and customer/vendor details. A resource planning should be developed for operating in emergency mode. The essential procedures to restore normalcy and business continuity must be listed out, including the plan steps for recovering lost data and to restore normal operating mode.
Testing and Maintenance
The dates of testing, disaster recovery scenario, and plans for each scenario should be documented. Maintenance involves record of scheduled review on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly basis; reviews of plans, teams, activities, tasks accomplished and complete documentation review and update.
The disaster recovery plan developed thereby should be tested for efficiency. To aid in that function a test strategy and corresponding test plan should be developed and administered. The results obtained should be recorded, analyzed, and modified as required. Organizations realize the importance of business continuity plans that keep their business operations continuing without any hindrance. Disaster recovery planning is a crucial component of today's network-based organizations that determine productivity, and business continuity

In this very special episode of Come With Me If You Want to Live, our Southern vloggers Jenn and Dee walk you through their first time at the annual lesbian spring break known as Dinah Shore Weekend, as they share their stories, photos and footage from the event.
When they weren't getting lost racing from event to event and marveling at all the lesbians, they were cooking burgers with Karman and me (okay, they cooked while I fired questions at them), chatting with Jackie Jones about doing stand-up, pillow-fighting on Brunch with Bridget, dancing with Cathy DeBuono, getting smack talk from Elizabeth Keener, and dishing with Jill Bennett about the Dinah fashion show. They were almost busier than I was over the weekend!
If you've never been to Dinah, this is a great way to experience it through the eyes of "Dinah virgins." If you're a veteran of the event, it's a fun — and much less tiring! — way to re-live it.

CHAMAN, Pakistan — At the Chaman border crossing on the road leading to Kandahar, there were conflicting reports Wednesday about fighting in and around the Taliban's southern Afghanistan stronghold.
Taliban fighters retreated into the heart of the Pashtun belt before the rapid advances of Northern Alliance forces capturing Mazar-e Sharif, Herat and Kabul. The Islamic extremist regime, made up of Pashtuns, may be facing opposition now from leaders of Pashtun tribes in their own back yard--the area around Kandahar.

Dear Dan: I'm a cute, mostly straight, twentysomething, single and (safely) sexually active woman. This happens to me pretty often: I hook up with a guy, we start fooling around, and we're both really into it. I reach down, and he's full sail. Things progress — clothes come off, etc. — and, as is generally the polite order of things, the lady comes first. (This isn't the problem.) I'm not aggressive, but I'm not shy. I tell a partner what I like and how to do it. They are always happy to oblige. The thing is, after I get off, a lot of times, the guy is limp. (This is the problem.) They usually express frustration and indicate that they're very much turned on but it's just not working. Generally after a few times, they will stop having this problem, and we will end up having lots of fun. So I don't think I'm doing anything "wrong" to kill the boners. I think maybe I'm just intimidating. In fact, I've been told so. Why does this happen and how can I reduce the awkwardness? Should I talk about it or just ignore it? And should I keep trying to make him hard? Or will that just make his dick panic worse?
—Fragile Ego Males
P.S. The more a guy likes me, the more this seems to happen.
Dear FEM: So… you go to bed with a guy, he's at full sail, and then you inform him that you, the lady of the hookup, will be coming first. You instruct him in the art of What I Like & How You Should Do It, and by the time he's done — by the time he gets you off — that dick has sailed. Or his dick sails are empty. Or something.
Why does this happen? I have three theories.
Theory One: Lots of straight guys make it into their mid-20s without ever having encountered a sexually assertive woman, FEM. A woman who advocates for herself in the sack, who knows what she likes and isn't too shy to ask for/insist on it, can come as a shock to a sheltered/ indulged/entitled boy's dick-systems. And while some deeply insecure guys (guys you wouldn't wanna waste your time and your twat on anyway) may find your assertiveness off-putting (or sail-emptying or dick-limpening or whatever), it may be the case that even the more secure guys you go to bed with (guys you would wanna lavish your time and twattention on) could be thrown by their first encounter with a sexually assertive woman.
Theory Two: Guys who throw themselves into making it happen for you could be losing their erections because they're focusing on pleasing you and getting you off. Making it happen for a partner — particularly if you're making it happen with your mouth and it takes longer than 15 minutes — can be hard work. A guy can get wrapped up in giving someone pleasure, slip into a more service-oriented head space, and then discover that his dick has wandered off when it's "his turn."
Theory Three: If you're going home with some guy at 3 a.m. after a night of boozing, and he spends the first 45 minutes eating your pussy, he may be spent by the time you get off.
And here's how you reduce the awkwardness when it does happen: Acknowledge the situation without dwelling on it, don't treat it like a catastrophe, and suggest taking a break — have some ice cream! Get a few hours sleep! — before having another go at it. And when you start in again, FEM, go with the impolite order of things, i.e., he comes first next time.
P.S. The more a guy likes you, FEM, the more performance anxiety he may experience. And the more he likes you, the more invested he may be in — and the more distracted he may be by — getting you off.
Dear Dan: I'm a 46-year-old homo who's fairly content most days living the single life. Since coming out when I was 20, I've been in a series of failed relationships and single for the last 10 years. I'm convinced I never really learned how to flirt. I get all tripped up when I see a PYT who I want to talk to. Add to the mix that I was diagnosed in '91 as poz. I'm so afraid of rejection that I don't even try anymore. I'm good-looking, outdoorsy, adventurous and free-spirited. I'm not afraid of exploring caves or rappelling off cliffs, but I'm a total wimp when it comes to interacting with a potential mate. I know there are younger guys who are attracted to older guys like myself. I'd love some advice on how to increase my mojo regarding flirting and dating.
—Doing It Really Trepidatiously
Dear DIRT: Nothing will boost your dating mojo like getting laid, DIRT, and that won't happen if you don't force yourself to take risks and talk to the next PYT — pretty young thing — who catches your eye. And remember: Lots of twentysomething and thirtysomething PYTs are poz themselves, DIRT, and lots of negative guys are willing to date poz guys. Putting yourself out there may result in some unpleasant rejection from jerks who are freaked out by your HIV status — but you don't want to date jerks, right?

Miley Cyrus is Sidekick Swift
Miley Cyrus and a gal pal squeeze into a leather armchair while at Starbucks in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon. While sitting down, the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star showed her momager, Tish Cyrus, a picture on her T-Mobile Sidekick.
Making the Band's Donnie Klang recently talked about having the perfect song for her: "Miley Cyrus is about to take her career in a whole new direction. I've been writing with that in mind. I would love to do a song with her. I wrote a song called 'Rebelling' that I feel like would fit her. Especially for a singer that's in the limelight at such a young age, she's eventually going to hit a point, like Britney or Lindsay, where she needs to go out and rebel."

Australia 2007 BDO
Monday 15 – Wednesday 17
• Long Flight. Approximetly 18 hours from Seattle to Auckland with a stop in LA.
• Passanger next to me kept elbowing me in the head. Most often when I was attempting to sleep.
• Apparently Fajitas is pronounced "Fa-jia-tas" (similar to a female body part).
• Auckland: I must just ooze drug stink cuz I spent 45 min in customs while they searched and empted all my luggage. They kept asking me if I did drugs. I told the dude, "No I drink whiskey and beer." Customs agent, "When was the last time you smoked a joint?" Me, "5 years ago. I drink. I don't smoke weed." Good times.
• On the upside Limp Wrist was playing that night. Radio, Mark and I went and saw them. It was great. We talked with them a little bit and they said they wished they could come to the Peaches show, but they had a show the next day in a different city. (If you like your Hard Core fun and political, you should check them out.
Thursday 18
St. James Theatre, Auckland
• Listened to The Langley School Music Project.
• Needed some hardware parts so I walked up the hill to K Road. Saw an amazing fight between two dudes in the middle of the street. Seemed to be caused by a minor fender bender.
• The show was fun enough. Just a little hecktic. Violent Femmes were headlining which was cool. I haven't seen them in forever.
Friday 19
BDO, Auckland
• The gear: Crap
• The Venue: whateves.
• Introducing from Japan... Afra and the Incredible Beatbox Band! This group of Japanese beat boxers went on directly after Peaches and Herms. It was so fucking cool. You will have to check them out to understand what it is they do with their voices.
• After the show we hung out in Thing 2 and Squids room. Peaches and I later took of with Roadie To Go myspace friend Venus for a party Djed by Diplo. It was good fun. We met up with CSS there. The dance party was on for about 2 hours til Peaches new shoes started to kill her feet.
January 20
Travel to Surfers Paradise
• Up at 4 am
• Mickey-D's hash browns
• Boating in the river when we got to Surfers Paradise. Then hanging in the pool. What a lovely day.
Samantha just hanging out on the Shark infested river.
Peaches, Myself, and Mark the Lampy.
One of the many houses on the river.
January 21
BDO, Surfers Paradise
• A note to festivals. Dirt does not make for a good dance floor. Our gear got so covered in dirt it was fucking gross. Mark didn't even need Hazer cuz there was so much dirt in the air.
• After party at the GCI. Had a little dance off of sorts with a bad ass breaker, Demi. Demi is part of the tour and she is sick on the dance floor.
• Diplo Djed this party also. His set was really good.
January 22
Great Northern, Byron Bay.
• Apparently the thing to eat on the coast on the way to Byron Bay is Pie. Meat pies, veggie pies, fruit pies, and pie pies. Mmmm. That was some good fucking pie.
• The show was on a really tiny stage. The girls got called on for two encores and during one of them Peach had a Sword Swallower come on stage. He hung clothes irons from his eyelids and swung them. Then he took them off and swallowed the sword. Fucking nuts. I almost puked.
• Poor Thing 2 reset his watch to the wrong time (daylight savings sucks sometimes) and ended up waking up during change over and had to be rushed from the hotel to the club. Oops.
• Suzy, from I Heart Hiroshima, bought me a wagon wheel after the show. It is like an oversized Mallowmar. On another note her drumming reminded me a lot of Hannah Blilie when she was in Stiletto.
January 23
Lady A's Parents' Bar B Q, Between Byron Bay and Brisbane
• Three hours of body boarding on a beautiful beach.
• A couple of hours of eating and Drinking at Lady A's parents' house. We brought beer; they made Prawns and all sorts of food. We also drank the wine that Manard (from Tool) gave Peaches. It was from Manard's vineyard.
• I macheted the top of a Champaign bottle for us all to drink.
JD on the most eastern point of Australia.
Lady A's Mom, Samantha, Lady A's Dad and Radio.
Lady A's Dad havin' a good time.
January 24
Home, Sydney (SHOW 100)
• The club was pretty cool. Upstairs balcony and disco lights everywhere.
• Outside the club in the harbor preparations where going on for Australia Day. There was a huge barge in the middle of the harbor with guys throwing sparks and all sorts of rehearsals going on. There was a guy on the front of a boat with a Didgeridoo. He was an Aboriginal. The first time I have ever seen someone playing one that was not some fucking hippy from the local college, who thinks playing it makes him in touch with Aboriginal and/or minority plight.
January 25
BDO, Sydney
• Not much of mention for this show. Peach threw the mic to me and it was spinning so fast, with the strobes going, I dropped the mic.
• I also got a chance to see Lupe Fiasco. He is high-energy fun.
Radio rock'n!
Peaches doin what she do.
January 26
MTV-THE LAIR (Debut show), Sydney
• We loaded in at like 10 am or some shit. For a show that did not even film till 7pm. Peaches and Herms played a song at 7pm and then 7:55 pm. 12 hours or so for 2 fucking songs. What a long day.
• On the upside JAGER, all we could drink! Radio was stoked, cuz she apparently loves JAGER. All in all it wasn't a shitty day just way to long.
January 27
Travel Day to Melbourne
• Just another day. Nothing extraordinary went on except the awesome set by Afra and the IBB, at their one off show.
January 28
BDO, Melbourne
• Some jackass stole Radio's pass while she was jumping around in the mushroom backstage.
• The after party was pretty freaking awesome. There was dancing with members of Tool and the Crystal Method and their respective crews.
• Met some more nice people and had an all around good time.
Radio, that fire starter guy, and Samantha.
January 29
Day Off, Melbourne
• The nice thing about Big Day Out is that we often are put up in nice hotel suites. This is because we are in town for so many days. Each suite has two rooms and a functioning kitchen. It is the most at home I have ever been able to feel on tour in a long time. It's the small things like a kitchen that you miss when you are on tour. So my day went something like this.
o Brunch
o Nap
o Snack
o Watch the Departed on TV
o Nap
o Dinner
o Karaoke [w/ Peaches, JD, Lady A, Paul (our TM), Hughe (our Monitor guy), Afra and the IBB, Hot Chip...]
Myself and Radio, cooking brunch.
Thing 2 is fucking tired.
January 30
POW (show 1 of 2), Melbourne
• Peaches and Herms killed it. For the first song of the encore Peaches did "tent in your pants" with Afra and the IBB backing her rather then the protools track. It was hot shit. The crowd went fucking nuts.
• After the show a few of our BDO band buddies came backstage and got their drinky drink on with us.
• We all headed over to the after party. It was in some guy's penthouse on the 30th floor of a building over looking most of Melbourne. It was fucking sweet.
• Diplo was Djing outside on the balcony. A balcony that was more the twice the size of my apartment. It was massive.
• On another note the line was so big for the toilet when I got there, that I did it house punk style and just peed in the tub.
Me and the guy that coaches that famous tennis player (i forget both their names. I do that sometimes. Sorry.)
January 31
POW (show 2 of 2), Melbourne
• Another awesome show.
• Note to show goers you see the roadie throw one person off stage…don't think to yourself, "Maybe he will let me stay on stage." At a show like Peaches there is all sorts of expensive electronics, Protools; Computers; Keytars; etc, that if you break them the whole show goes down in flames and it is your fault. Think about it for a minute people. Unless you are invited or it's the Circle Jerks, STAY THE FUCK OFF STAGE!!! I love to stage dive, too. I even have the surgery scar to prove it. But you gotta know when it's appropriate. (I threw 5 People off stage. I think all of them between the main set and the encore. Come the fuck on...)
February 1
Travel Day, Adelaide
• Nap and then a swim
• Indian food with Samantha, JD, Ken and Scott of Crystal Method...
JD and I at the Indian Resturant.
Ken (Crystal Method) and I at the Indian Resturant.
February 2
BDO, Adelaide
• You know I did not write any notes. Guess there was not much of note on this day. At least nothing to share. Some days just don't stick out in your mind when you tour. It can be pretty hectic.
• The same can be said about the next day. It was just another flight/travel day.
February 3-6
• Lady A and I Djed at Lilly World. It was an awesome fun time.
• The after party on the 4th was like last day of school/Prom. Everybody came out even those that had never been at the other after parties.
• Everybody had rocked their hardest on the last day and now we were all drinking, dancing and going crazy our hardest!
• They had an adult size bouncing room. Danny from Tool collapsed one of the walls. He is a huge massively tall man and took it down no prob.
• Spank rock, Diplo and I think DJ Justice rocked the decks for the dancing members of the party. Demi and her lady, I think Afra, and I rocked the dance floor for a while, Break'n style. It was hot and awesome.
• After going to bed at about 5 am I woke up at 8 30 am. "Oh, Shit! I am late for the Super Bowl party!" was what I thought. I ran 6 blocks to the hotel from the after party. Samantha was already there. Mary Jo, Tool's TM set up a Super Bowl party for the US dudes and dudettes. It was fun. No U.S. commercials played because they only get a direct feed over there. They were surprisingly missed. But damn that was a good game. So many turnovers! But the highlight was Prince. Probably the best halftime shows ever.
February 6
Hilo, Hawaii
• I left Australia at 930am landed in Hawaii at 715am the same day. Unfortunately the plane was late. I missed my connecting flight to Hilo and had to buy another ticket.
• Erin and I had a good time in Hawaii. She had been there the whole time I was in Australia.

COMMENTS by Bradford MP George Galloway that the city should be an "Israel free zone" have damaged Bradford's reputation, according to politicians from all the main parties.
A video of the Bradford West MP making the comments at a Respect Party event in Leeds last Saturday has attracted condemnation from different quarters and is being probed by West Yorkshire Police.
The video features the MP saying: "We have declared Bradford an Israel-free zone.
"We don't want any Israeli goods, we don't want any Israeli services, we don't want any Israeli academics coming to the university or the college, we don't even want any Israeli tourists to come to Bradford, even if any of them had thought of doing so.
"We reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel."
Councillor David Green, leader of Labour-run Bradford Council, said: "Mr Galloway does not speak on behalf of the district of Bradford.
"We have always welcomed people from all over the globe regardless of race, religion or colour, and will continue to do so.
"There is a lot of local concern about what is going on in Gaza and I'm aware of the boycott campaigns, but they have to be done appropriately.
"These comments will potentially be damaging to Bradford. They add nothing to the discussion and debate to find a resolution of this conflict and I ask him to re-consider them."
The Conservative group's deputy leader, Councillor Simon Cooke took to Twitter to urge people to ignore the MP and said all people were welcome in Bradford.
He added: "What is most disappointing about this is that whatever your view is on Gaza, it doesn't justify saying a group of people aren't welcome in Bradford. It gives us a bad name and what he said is damaging Bradford. This is not the message we want out about the district."
Bradford East Liberal Democrats MP David Ward spent much of yesterday speaking to constituents and said Mr Galloway's views were not shared by the majority of people he spoke to.
He has been collecting signatures for a petition calling for an end to Israeli military action in Gaza that has attracted almost 77,000 signatures.
Mr Ward said: "We don't want to be branded as a community that is racist. Theses comments are very dangerous in terms of community cohesion.
"It is a schoolboy error to brand an entire group of people in this way. The people who live in Bradford day in day out don't want this said in their name."
Mike Hookem, MEP for Yorkshire and UKIP Defence spokesman, said: "It is unacceptable and ridiculous for a British politician to call for a multicultural city such as Bradford; that is steeped in both the Islamic and Jewish cultures, to become an 'Israel free zone'. Galloway's words do nothing other than heighten tensions in Bradford and the country as a whole.
"Rather than stirring up racial hatred, Galloway should be looking to use any influence he has to calm the tensions and look for ways to build bridges in the communities he serves, rather than giving fuel to further divisions."
A spokesman for Mr Galloway said: "Anyone is welcome in Bradford who doesn't support the mass bombing and genocide of the Palestinian people.
"That rules out 95 per cent or more of the Israeli population according to recent surveys."

Affordable and Effective Commercial Carpet Cleaning, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Rancho Cucamonga Carpet Cleaning offers state-of-the-art commercial carpet cleaning services for both large corporations and small businesses.
The key features of our service include:
- Use of environmentally safe cleaning agents
- No harm to humans or pets
- Customized services to suit both large and small commercial setups
- Skilled and certified cleaning technicians
- Efficient, fast and effective service
- Affordable pricing
Our Commercial Cleaning Services
To serve the specific needs of each business, we offer spot, interim and total carpet cleaning.
|Total/ deep carpet cleaning
|Here we'll do a thorough job of cleaning all your carpeted surfaces, even those in hard-to-reach and rarely used areas.
It's important that all areas of your carpet be cleaned – even the areas that aren't being used – to prevent build up dust and other particles that can cause hygiene issues.
|We'll effectively clean out dirty, yellowing carpets, and eliminate such stains as coffee spills, food stains, asphalt yellowing, grease, tracked-in dirt and cooking oils.
Beyond the strategies used in regular cleaning, this would also involve hot water extraction and other heavy duty methods.
|Interim/ regular carpet cleaning
|This is a regular cleaning service that focuses on high traffic areas.
Regular carpet cleaning is highly recommended for all business environments, especially those experiencing high traffic or requiring high standards of hygiene.
It's fast and efficient; and, most importantly, helps prolong the life of your carpet, which would otherwise wear out from continual use without regular cleaning.
|Regular cleaning would involve removal of dry soil using high-capacity vacuum cleaners.
Daily vacuuming would be necessary in high traffic areas; whereas, light traffic areas may do with a weekly schedule or 2 times per week, if necessary.
Interim cleaning would be required if you have greasy, oily soils.
It involves use of encapsulation, absorbent/ bonnet pads and dry foam.
|Spot carpet cleaning
|This clears stubborn spots that require urgent cleaning before they turn into full-brown stains.
|Our mild yet highly effective spot cleaning will do the job, while still retaining the carpet protection.
All these services deliver more than just clean carpets:
- Through thorough cleaning, the service life of your carpets is prolonged – This is especially useful since replacement of carpets would only add to the overhead costs of running your business. Hence, long-lasting carpets will keep your bottom-line healthy.
- Your carpet is further protected from unnecessary wear and tear through application of professional strength carpet protectors – This protector helps your carpet resist spills, dirt, and wear and tear from regular use. Most of all, the protector is environmentally safe, odorless, and poses no harm to your pets or humans.
- Application of carpet protectors makes it easier to clean your carpets, afterwards – Since the protector helps in resisting spills and dirt, it gives you time to quickly and effectively clean up before accidental spills really stick into your valuable floor covers. This means it will be a while before you actually need our services again.
- We apply professional-strength deodorizers to neutralize odors – Dirt and spills ingrained in carpets can create a bad stench within you business premises. We place powerful encapsulating agents within the carpets to eliminate bad odors right from the source. This gives your carpets a sweet, fresh scent for a long time.
To deliver such beneficial services, we use quality cleaning techniques, including:
- Encapsulation cleaning – This is low-moisture cleaning system allows use of the carpet immediately after. It involves spraying of encapsulating chemicals on your carpet, then brushing it into the carpet. The chemical encapsulates and releases soil particles from the carpet, making it easier for removal through normal vacuuming.
- Restorative hot water extraction – Using hot water extraction/ steam cleaning, rotary shampoo cleaning, and counter rotating brush machines, even carpets that haven't been properly maintained can be restored to look as good as new.
- Dry foam cleaning – This process utilizes mechanical aeration of special liquid detergents to produce a dense foam for cleaning, and uses a dry a foam machine.
Call Rancho Cucamonga Carpet Cleaning today for these quality services.

We at Rancho Carpet Cleaners have been serving the Inland Empire and beyond for decades. We know one thing very well and that's carpet. We handle small and large residential and commercial carpet cleaning. There's no cleaning project too much for us to handle. We provide the most cutting edge carpet cleaning services in the County with the most affordable prices too. Just call us now for an assessment of your carpet cleaning job. We have a simple system that may be a little different than our competitors, but we want to be able to deliver the right service for your home.
Our System:
The Call: The first thing you need to do is simply pick the phone up and call us now. It's that simple, there is nothing else you need to do on your part. We will ask you pertinente questions at that time. Do you have a Berber carpet or an old shag. How old the carpet is? Do you prefer a green method of cleaning your carpet, do you have pets? These questions help us to help you.
The Assessment: This is needed if it is a large job. If you are having an entire home done or for commercial properties. See the system for commercial properties after this section and this will tell you what you need to do to for bidding. For residential the assessment is a quick look at the job and a discussion about the maintenance programs we offer just for you.
Booking: For commercial we book after a bid takes place. We never just show up to clean a commercial carpet. And, we always have a tour of the property before we agree. We want to make certain that we are the best people to do the job in your establishment. We want to be the best fit for each other.
Why have a professional carpet cleaning service?
When the budget is low, things like aesthetics are typically cut from the budget and carpet cleaning to some companies can be considered aesthetic or a luxury. But there are things that you don't realize happen when your carpet cleaning service is cut from the budget. First, remember that it is a sanitation issue. Carpets are some of the most bacteria-ridden spaces in the home or business. For a commercial property, people,strangers are tracking in bacteria on their feet. The high-traffic areas are ground in and look highly unsightly.
Remember that your carpet is in the reception area too. That's your front line to new and existing patrons of your business. Even if you only have carpet in the employee areas and hallways, you are still sending a few clear messages.
- You aren't doing well or,
- You aren't concerned about your image
These things are paramount to your commercial property. Own an apartment complex or condo? Then your new residents are going to see that. Besides the point, do you want the type of residents that don't care about how you take care of your complex? We have special in-contract prices We think of every situation for you because we are more than just a carpet cleaning firm. We look out for your best interest. One you are a customer of ours you stay a customer for life, we guarantee it.
There is more than just carpet cleaning the old fashioned was going on here. We offer the most state-of-the-art carpet cleaning services in the county. We not only offer green services but we offer all the services below. It's almost tough to choose. Your whole property can use the same type of carpet cleaning service or, they can be different for different areas.
- Commercial Restoration Service: Our service uses a state-of-the-art combination of steam, dry and extraction to thoroughly clean the entire carpet of everything possible. This will in fact, restore the carpet to a close to brand new as possible. We are llCRC certified. We can match the biggest spills and grimes in the carpet itself.
- Guaranteed Safe Clean of all Carpets: We are certified to clean all carpet types including wool & wool blends, nylon, polypropylene, polyester, and acrylic. This is important because all commercial carpet is not created equal. We make certain that all our technicians are certified in the right type of carpet cleaning for your business.
- Green Steam Clean: You've heard a lot about green this and that but what is green steam clean? We use steam and extraction without the harsh planet, people and pet harming chemicals to clean deep beneath the surface of the carpet to remove germs, grime and other substances completely. At times that we need to use chemicals they are certified natural. So, what natural substance cleans a carpet? Enzymes are the most common and the most effective in protein stains and too loosen deep dirt and grime left by much traffic. Then our patented extraction system lifts it away to reveal a brand new carpet as close to what it was originally.
- No Residue Cleaning: As we are learning more and more about what chemicals do to our bodies after the fact, we are on a constant cause to leave as little residue in the carpet as possible after cleaning.
Dry Encapsulation Carpet Cleaning Services
- Dry Encapsulation Commercial Cleaning: This system is in very high demand for commercial carpet cleaning services. Dry Encapsulation simply means using dry steam with green chemicals to deep clean a high-traffic commercial carpet and encapsulate the dirt to extract. It's that simple.
- VLM or Very Low Moisture: This is the same as dry encapsulation. But it dries very fast. We know that you can't afford to redirect traffic while you wait for a carpet to dry so we work very hard to make sure you are inconvenienced for as short a time as possible.
- Conditioners and Pre- Treating: Even our conditioners are green. Other companies like to hide that, probably because of the cost. They will treat the carpet with harsh chemicals and then clean it in a green way. But we don't hide anything, we pay any expense forward by guaranteeing that the greenest processes are used. Those that are not, are under one percent residue.
Other Specialty Floor Cleaning Services:
- Tile and Grout Cleaning: Your floors are an important part of your business and we know it. We take what we do very seriously and will treat and clean more than just your carpet. Commercial flooring is an important part of our business. Of course you know that we will use green restorative techniques to restore your grout to its original state.
- Tile and Grout Sealing: When tile is cleaned it must be sealed. It's not because the cleaning removes the original seal; it's because it will wear off over time. We will reseal every job we do.
Fabric Care:
- Upholstery Care: We know that your business has a lot of upholstery and luckily we also clean all your soft furnishings as well as we do your carpet and tiles. What's the sense of having sparkling clean and sealed floors if the furniture looks dirty? It's akin to having a fantastic bedroom and never making the bed.
- Non-Smoking and Pet Room Conversions: We are fully supportive of the movement to make smoking a thing of the past. Face it, no one wants to walk into a hotel room and smell the stale remnants of cigarette smoke. Did you just become a non smoking establishment? Then have no fear, we have your back. You never have to sell your furniture and spend all that money on new furnishing with our treatments.
- Have you moved into a home that had pets? Or, have you lost a pet that will not be replaced? We have your back there too.
Water Restoration Services:
We offer 24/7 emergency water restoration services. We know that having a flood is almost never an expected thing. It could happen for a plethora of reasons. You could have a burst pipe or a water-driven appliance could malfunction. You could have a neighbor above you overflow a tub or toilet which could be ongoing.

We can handle built in blinds as well as attached in any shape, size, length or material apart from paper such as Japanese blinds unless they are fabric. Then, another type of cleaning process will be used.

Day and night, the man toils, hard at work. Some of his neighbors think that he has lost his mind, but he remains determined to conquer nature once and for all.
Dashrath Manjhi is this man, and he was born in 1934 in the small settlement of Gehlaur in the East Indian state of Bihar. As a boy, he left Gehlaur for the city to work in the coal mines, but he returned to his home village to get married.
In fact, Manjhi had met and wedded a local woman named Phalguni Devi, and he then began working as a laborer in the fields. This, however, was no simple task.

A most important characteristic of becoming an effective, caring educator is the ability and commitment to recognize individual learning differences among students.Knowles and Brown, 2000, p. 65
Individuals have unique styles of learning. We adapt these styles, usually unconsciously, to varying circumstances according to the learning demand. Many psychologists and educators have observed, and attempted to label, the ways we learn.
Multiple intelligences and learning styles are linked in practical ways. Intelligences are "biological and psychological potentials and capacities" (Gardner, 1999, p. 82). Decisions about how to use these capacities may depend on style preference. Style determines our approach to intelligences. To clarify this concept, consider a person with strong musical intelligence. This intelligence may manifest itself in the careers of conductors, performers, composers, and music critics, or it may be manifested in a talent that is enjoyed as an avocation. Learner preferences and styles contribute to how intelligences are used and developed.
To use our understanding of learning differences to the benefit of students, we need to analyze our own inclinations as well as those of our students. Then we must help our students see how they can learn best so they can both use their dominant characteristics and enhance their less dominant characteristics. All this involves understanding of self. Carl Jung's (1923) work has contributed greatly to our ability to do just that. He divides all human behavior into two categories—perception and judgment. To perceive is to find out or discover. To judge (or process) is to decide, evaluate, and take action. Each of us spends time perceiving and judging, individually tending toward one over the other.
Imaginative, Analytic, Common Sense, Dynamic Learners
Bernice McCarthy (1997) describes four major learning styles: imaginative, analytic, common sense, and dynamic. She explains these styles, using Jung's conception of perceiving and judging. Imaginative learners perceive information in concrete ways and then process it reflectively. Imaginative learners prefer interaction and integration and sharing rather than the "sit and git" traditional classroom style. Analytic learners perceive information abstractly and then process it reflectively. They value established knowledge and detail. Because they prefer sequential, step-by-step learning, the traditional classroom approach works well for them. Common sense learners perceive information abstractly and then process it actively. They desire real life applications of learning and thrive with hands-on instruction. Traditional classroom instruction will frustrate them unless they can see immediate uses for the skills/knowledge presented. Dynamic learners perceive information concretely and process it actively. They do not care about order and sequential learning, but prefer to take risks and tackle new challenges. They are often frustrated by traditional classroom methods.
Given this theory of learning styles, it appears that traditional classrooms, generally recognized for material presentation, guided practice, and assessments, and characterized by lecture, notetaking, occasional demonstration, and testing, are places where analytic learners thrive most.Excerpt from Introduction to Middle School, by S. D. Powell, 2005 edition, p. 61-62.

A "shocked" Mackenzie Warren, a rising star at NBC affiliate KSNV-TV, Channel 3, confirmed on Friday she was let go on Thursday.
Warren, a two-time intern with "NBC Nightly News," joined KSNV in October 2011 as a reporter after 15 months at sister station KRNV-TV in Reno.
She spent five months in Carson City covering the 2013 Nevada legislature and began anchoring the 3 p.m. time slot last fall.
In an emailed statement, she said: "This is my hometown. No longer being allowed to do what I love in the city that I love will be a painful adjustment. I'm shocked. Channel 3 gave me no reason for my termination. I thank this community for welcoming me into their homes over the years."
She is a 2006 graduate of Green Valley High School.

Fortune Favors the Bold
Fortune Favors The Bold
Or, if you told me what I'd be doing for the next few months, I'd doubt my sanity.
When I started the adventure, back in January - I was simply glad to be going somewhere warm, where not knowing where I was would be expected and normal.
The iPhone and the Garmin became friends and guides to many a small adventure and discovery as I learned Dallas just a bit
Re-Connecting with my dear friend Pam was a bonus beyond all measure. Dallas was hot and dry and a good antidote to my aches. I missed my son and daughter, my daughter-in-law and my grandson but seeing them grow and stand on their own two feet was some consolation. In addition, I got to spend a lot of time with my sister-in-law Amy, her husband and Packer fan, Mike and my niece and goddaughter Zoe and her little brother Anderson.
At this point, I must again thank Steve Jobs for making my science fiction dreams into a very tangible reality. I adore face-time on the iPad - now I can still see my family from time to time.
So, what did I do, really?
I read a lot, I walked and I tried a few new and interesting activities. I found myself the Easter Bunny at the Grapevine Mall - yep forty plus pounds of polyester fur and giant ears. If you've never worn a giant costume like that, you should think about trying it. The reactions from the tiny babies to the seasoned folks were priceless - and the teenagers! 99% were just for fun and only a few babies cried! I also got to ride the mall train - a lot.
At the same time I worked on getting in with a Funeral Home as an assistant, that was less successful but I have not given my profession a pass. I joined a few groups to stay in touch with the field, and low and behold, I was chosen to be interviewed about my profession. The result can be found here: More Magazine - Death and the Maidens
The heat was intense this summer, but it really only kept me in at the peak of it most days, but still 40+ days of 100+ heat. Yes, it's a dry heat, but my freckles grew freckles!
Before I knew it, it was August. Time to pack up life in Dallas and get set for the big trip.
Not just Australia, but New Zealand too. Hey, if you are flying 12+ hours on the longest leg in the air, you might as well make the most of it.
But that adventure deserves a post or two all of its own.

A Little more Love from Texas - Road Trip Style
Texas means a different cuisine to my family. Not that we aren't adventurous in Minnesota, just that there are things here that just aren't the same where the snow gets higher than my waist for months on end.

Road tripping with young adults
When your children are young, you pack a car with snacks and maybe books on tape, before there were DVD's or VHS's for your car...We even talked a lot. Imagine that - actual conversation. Thanks to I Phones and I Tunes....We can choose to share or choose to slip into our own musical worlds while we drive. It's a good thing we seem to share a lot of the same musical tastes.

Freed from a contract with Prestige Records, Rollins was beginning a period that would come to be known as his "freelance years." This highly satisfying box set chronologically collects his ensuing two years of work for the Riverside, Contemporary and Period labels. The box includes five Rollins albums in their entirety, as well as some notable playing he did as a sideman. The best session with Rollins as leader is surely Way Out West, a concept album that boasts the man himself on the cover with a six-gun holster, 10-gallon hat--and saxophone. The record includes silly song titles like "I'm an Old Cowhand" and "Wagon Wheels," with drummer Shelly Manne clip-clopping his way through the introductions. Rollins indirectly copped many of the melodies from the cowboy movies he loved growing up. But the Western motif is merely the bait--beneath the gimmicky surface, this is one hell of a jazz record.
Another Rollins classic included is Freedom Suite. At a high point in his career but still unable to rent the apartment he wanted because of his color, Rollins was inspired to write the title track, a torrid, restless and ultimately triumphant 20-minute trio piece.
The box showcases Rollins' work as a sideman on four of the five tracks from Thelonious Monk's mind-boggling masterpiece Brilliant Corners. On tracks like "Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lues-are," Rollins' approach to playing so closely mirrors Monk's, it almost achieves the impossible task of making the idiosyncratic pianist seem normal. Also included are four great tracks from Jazz Contrasts by trumpeter Kenny Dorham, whom Art Blakey once dubbed "the uncrowned king of modern jazz."
If there's a weak link in the box, it's Abbey Lincoln's That's Him!, a sometimes awkward record that, as Rollins bluntly acknowledges in the liner notes, would never have been made if Lincoln hadn't been dating Max Roach at the time. The accompaniment is first-rate--Sonny's solo on "Strong Man" is the epitome of cool--but Lincoln was still finding herself as a singer, getting by primarily on guile and an odd charisma.
The freelance years would end with Rollins' self-imposed retirement ("to practice and write") in summer 1959. He would return in 1962 and again set the jazz world on its ear. Today, as he prepares to celebrate his 70th birthday and continues to play as strongly as ever, Sonny's got no reason to look back. But why shouldn't we?

School Services Privatization on the Rise, According to Mackinac Center Survey
Competitive contracting for custodial work up more than 26 percent for the second consecutive year
Thursday, Aug. 16, 2007
Contact: Michael D. LaFaive
Director of Fiscal Policy
MIDLAND — The Mackinac Center for Public Policy today released its fifth school privatization survey, which shows that more than 40 percent of the 552 conventional public school districts in Michigan contract for at least one of the three major noninstructional services: food, custodial and transportation. "Survey 2007: More Growth in School Support Service Privatization" found that 16 net new districts chose to contract for at least one support service, a 7.6 percent increase over 2006.
The research was conducted by Daniel J. Smith, an adjunct scholar with the Mackinac Center and a Ph.D. candidate in economics at George Mason University, and Michael D. LaFaive, director of the Mackinac Center's Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative. "This is the fourth survey in a row to show a net increase in district contracting statewide, which indicates a revealed preference in favor of privatization among many school officials," Smith said. "In addition, nearly 90 percent of districts that privatized these services said they were satisfied with the results."
The survey was completed on June 30, 2007, to coincide with the end of the fiscal year for public schools in Michigan. As of that date, an additional 42 districts were considering privatizing one or more of the food, custodial or transportation services for the 2007-2008 school year.
"Districts across the state are adopting support service privatization as a way to drive more money into the classroom," LaFaive said. "Officials recognize that noninstructional services are ancillary to the mission of their schools. Under a well-written contract, districts can save money, improve services, or both."
New in this year's survey is a comprehensive breakout of districts that have outsourced one or more of the major noninstructional services since 2006, as well as a tally of contracting by county and by district size. The survey includes a map of every district in Michigan that uses competitive contracting for any of the three major support services.
Custodial services continue to be the top growth area for private contracting. Statewide, 14.5 percent of districts have private firms doing all or part of their janitorial work. The number of districts contracting for custodial work increased by 17, or 26.8 percent, over the 2006 survey, which saw a 26.2 percent increase over 2005. Of the 222 districts that contract for support services, nearly 78 percent report saving money, while 89 percent report being satisfied with their respective contracting experiences.
Food service remains the most frequently outsourced function with 29.7 percent of districts reporting having contracted either management or operation of their program. This is up 3.6 percent since 2006.
Contracting for busing services can be found in 4.3 percent of districts statewide, which is up slightly from 4.0 percent one year ago.
The survey is available at www.mackinac.org/8881. For more information on school privatization in Michigan, visit www.mackinac.org/8691.

Upgrade OK'd for Genesee County sheriff's communications
BATAVIA – The Genesee County Legislature has approved an upgrade of nearly $11 million for the sheriff's communications system, adding radio towers and enhancing the 911 emergency response system.
The cost to the county will be about $4.2 million financed by a 10-year municipal bond issue. Annual payments will come from an added 1 percent sales tax restricted to debt payment and capital projects.
The system upgrade, scheduled for completion in 2014, will serve through 10 talk channels all the county's police and fire units as well as emergency response and the Public Works and Highway departments.
The $10.83 million project by the Harrison Corp. of Rochester will put radio transmission towers in the towns of Alabama, Bergen and Darien, adding to those already in use in the towns of Batavia, Pavilion and Pembroke.
Ninety-five percent of the rural county will then be covered with a reconfigured 800 mhz radio system. This should eliminate interference with a Nextel 911 emergency channel.
In other business Wednesday, the legislators:
• Added 15 sheriff's deputy positions for coverage of concerts at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center. The park will pay for the added manpower, while the county will continue to provide traffic control.
• Approved a three-year lease at $1 a month to move the Justice for Children Program and Child Advocacy Center from Bank Street to a house at 304 E. Main St. Road owned by First Presbyterian Church. The center hopes to raise funds for a permanent home.
• Extended for one year a contract with Livingston County to house prisoners at a rate of $85 per day. Genesee deals with other counties in case the local jail is full, and Genesee has no provision for female inmates.
• Agreed to lease space at the county's Engine House as an office for the Friends of Batavia Peace Garden Foundation. The garden is nearby. The foundation will pay $100 a year.

The Art of Picking – Vol 13 – By Reyne HainesJuly 26th, 2010 by admin
How can a good yard sale item quickly diminish to bad? When you are Vaneisha Robinson of Ohio.
Robinson claims four years ago she bought a pendant at a yard sale for $5. She thought it was neat, and wore it around her neck not realizing its value.
The pendant is a replica of LeBron James' jersey for the Kings. It is enameled, and encrusted in diamonds.
Robinson claims only a few months ago did she notice the diamonds were set like authentic ones are, and decided it might have more value than the $5 she invested. She took photos, and listed it on eBay.
Shortly thereafter, Robinson was contacted by someone from James' camp claiming he wanted the item for himself and asked to meet her.
When she arrived at the meeting place, James was not there, however one of his associates was and "forced her to hand over the pendant."
Police in Ohio have her listed as one of five people in connection with the theft of the pendant valued at over $10,000. The case is currently still under investigation.

Blake Lively covered up with a trench coat as she arrived in France amid reports she is pregnant with her second child.
The Savages star hit headlines three weeks ago when multiple reports suggested she is expecting a sibling for her one-year-old daughter James, with her husband Ryan Reynolds.
Representatives for the couple declined to comment on the news, while both Blake and Ryan have remained quiet about the rumours on social media.
Blake made her first public appearance since the pregnancy speculation surfaced at the Met Gala in New York City last week (02May16), but she concealed any hint of a baby bump with a flowing pink Burberry gown.
On Monday (09May16), Blake continued to keep her stomach under wraps, wearing a cream trench coat, belted at the waist, over a pair of matching trousers as she arrived at Nice Airport.
The actress is in Europe for the Cannes Film Festival, where she will be attending the premiere of her new Woody Allen movie, Cafe Society, later this week (begs09May16).
The romantic drama, set for release in July (16), follows Jesse Eisenberg as a young New Yorker who moves to Hollywood in the 1930s in a bid to break into the industry. The ensemble cast also features Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell, Parker Posey, and Corey Stoll.
Blake is known for her stunning red carpet looks, and she recently gave fans a sneak peek at her Cannes wardrobe on Instagram.com.
"Everybody Cannes Cannes 4 more days... #CafeSociety and @lorealmakeup here we come...," she captioned a photo on Friday (06May16), when she posted a close-up of the different fabrics of six of the designer gowns she was packing for her trip.

The iPhone 5 will be released to the masses on Friday and as an admitted Apple fanboy I'm pretty excited for this release. I'm currently still using an iPhone 4 so I will definitely be upgrading to the iPhone 5. I'll have to wait until I can actually get my hands on one to figure out how much better this thing really is than its predecessor but here are the things I'm most excited about:
- It's bigger and yet thinner – I'm very excited to see what the bigger screen looks like and how that will change the way I use my phone. If anything, the Control4 MyHome app should look fantastic on the bigger screen.
- 4G LTE – I've been hearing that the speed of the iPhone 5 on the 4G LTE networks is ridiculously fast. Faster than the wireless connections that most people have in their homes.
- Siri – I'm actually pretty excited to try Siri. I'm hoping it will make my driving just a bit safer (oh wait, did I just admit to texting while driving?) and I'm very excited to try out the new features, i.e. sports scores, with the updated iOS 6. I can't believe they didn't have sports on Siri up to this point. What is the point of a "personal assistant" if she can't tell me what time the game is on Sunday?
- Camera – I've read that the camera features are a vast improvement and I'm very excited for the Panorama feature. I currently use an app for Panorama (it's actually a Microsoft app, but that's my dirty little secret). The app is a little clunky so it should be great to see what the feature is like when it's integrated into the OS.
- Ear Pods – I'm one of the few people that use the standard iPhone earbuds on a regular basis. They've needed an update for a while and the new Ear Pods look fantastic. I hope they provide the sound quality Apple claims they do!
I do wish that Apple would have included NFC (near field communication) in this iPhone but I still think the addition of all the other features make it a worthy upgrade. I guess the only question left is: black or white?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Do you plan on getting the new iPhone and what features are you most excited for?
