Got Bed Bugs? Bedbugger Forums » Reader questions (do not fit into other categories)
How do bedbugs hitchhike?(19 posts)
How really these critters hitchhike? I mean, when everyone in the forum says "probably you brought in some bugs from your friends house" you mean...
a) that one adult crawled somehow into his clothes or belongings?
b) that his clothes had some eventual contact with eggs?
I'm just wondering on what should I be aware when I'm out of home..
Thanks for the support!!!
Much more likely that a bug crawled onto/into clothes, purse, bag, etc. But note that the bug could be any life stage - a baby nymph, adolescent (several sizes) or adult. It is much less likely that an adult bug would lay eggs on someone (although possible).
They stick out an upper claw show a little femur and away they go. Bed bugs do not fly like mosquitoes nor do they jump like fleas. They hang out behind and under and if you or a belonging spend enough time they may inadvertently get in your bag, coat etc. We advise
persons who do home visits to sit at a dining room table and place their bags there as well. In other cases bed bugs may hitchhike or as we say enter an area as "captives" say
on a piece of furniture or on or in the suitcase or knapsack of a visitor.
"They stick out an upper claw show a little femur and away they go. "
Hahaha, love it.
I believe that you can bring them home on your clothes, transferred from someone elses clothes or shoes. Stay away from used furniture at all costs. You can bring them home in a book (I did!!) In these bug times, I do not buy anything in second hand stores or flea markets.
I visit a home that still has bugs. I put my purse in the fridge, my shoes and coat in a plastic bag. I bring a change of clothes in a plastic bag and change clothes just before I leave. As you see I buy a lot of plastic bags, don't we all. I've had the blighters and don't want them again.
As well, even if I didn't have bugs I would buy some Food Grade DE and coat the baseboards, under the sofa, the metal bed frame and box spring, etc., as a preventative. Actually I took up all the original DE in my house and then dusted lightly again.
Winston, I want to let you know that I have seen a bedbug jump. This was the only time and even the PCO was stumped. I think its fair to never say never when it comes to bedbugs. Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth!
Simple fact is that they hitch hike on items or people that come into the home. If you come into contact with an infected area when there is always a risk that one will be on you or an item and thats how they get carried back into home.
It can be on clothes, shoes, trousers, coats, jumpers anything that comes into contact with infected areas. It is usually the adults and nymphs rather than eggs that enter a property but both are feasible.
I have also seen them enter via books, magazine, furniture although there is usually evidence on the infected items if people could be bothered to have a look for it.
I am not a big fan of the concept of preventative treating regardless of the methodology or products used and prefer to promote personal inspection as part of your monthly home clean and mattress rotation program.
I will however say that I have never seen a Bed Bug jump, I take the point on board about never saying never but after some 7,000 infestations I think I have seen most of the unusual bed bug activity. Maybe it had got board of blood and moved into feeding from the Mexican beans.
The simple fact is that there are multiple ways of getting bed bugs into your property its just not as simple as finding a single cause to blame.
DavidI am happy to answer questions in public but will not reply to message sent directly or via my company / social media. I am here to help everyone and not just one case at a time.
In accordance with the AUP and FTC I openly disclose my vested interest in Passive Monitors as the inventor and patent holder. Since 2009 they have become an integral part in how we resolve bed bug infestations. I also have a professional relationship with PackTite in that they distribute my product under their own branding. I do not however receive any financial remuneration for any comments I make about pro
Actually the PCO that was treating my place, said that they had used a nerve agent and that maybe that was why he jumped. He jumped from the wall to the futon I was laying on. I was watching him to see if he would take me to his leader as we couldn't find where these suckers were coming from. He jumped about 3 inches from wall to futon and I freaked out so bad that I never seen where he went. About two weeks later, we found the nests and bugs of the bottom of the futon and out it went. Guess that was where his leader was! Or at least the leaders sister!
Bedbugs could be spread through rental video discs. Usually, each disc is provided in a paper sleeve (a square envelope with no flap). The title and a brief summary of the video are printed on the sleeve.
Bedbugs like to lurk in paper or cardboard. If a home with bedbugs has a rental disc for a while, one or more of the bugs could crawl into the sleeve. The next renter of the disc might then be afflicted with the bugs.
I rent videos from a firm which sends them by mail. Their service is excellent, and their website is marvelous in the facilities it provides for selecting videos.
But I've started to worry about bedbugs in the paper sleeves. What I've started doing when I receive a video disc in the mail is this:
1. Place a white sheet of paper on my desk close to the desk lamp, where there is plenty of light. All the following steps are carried out over the sheet of paper. If anything drops onto the paper, I have a plastic block ready to squash it.
2. Open the mailing envelope and take out the sleeve.
3. Remove the disc from the sleeve.
4. Place the sleeve in a ziploc bag.
5. Put the mailing envelope, which is also a return-mailing envelope, in the ziploc bag. (I fold the mailing envelope in half so it will fit.)
6 . Holding the disc vertical, I drop it about an inch onto the white sheet of paper, but don't let it fall on its side. If anything drops off, I squash it. I don't wait to see if it moves. I drop the disc with one hand and have the block ready to use in the other hand.
7. I examine both sides of the disc for bugs or spots that could be nymphs that did not drop off. If I see anything suspicious, I have a file card ready to scrape it off onto the white sheet of paper.
8. I seal the ziploc bag.
9. Next day, I open the ziploc bag, put the disc in the sleeve, and place them in the return envelope and seal it.
10. Put the return envelope in my mail box with the mail flag up so the mailman will pick it up.
To kill any bedbugs I might have missed, I tried giving a heat treatment to the ziploc bag. I placed it on top of the wall-type gas heater in my living room. But the heat was too great and the ziploc bag got sort of shriveled up and melted a bit. I'm trying to think of some other way to heat treat it while I'm watching the video.
I would never heat treat the video disc itself. It doesn't belong to me.
For those unfortunate people who have bedbugs in their home, I suggest they keep their spare writing envelopes in a ziploc.
I am looking for something like a paint roller, only smaller and with a hard roll. They used to be used in printing and also in photo developing, but they don't seem to make them any more. I want to use it in place of the plastic block, which could miss. A roller about 5 inches wide would not miss. Anybody know where I can get something like that?
I totally had one of those rollers (used it to ink up wood blocks in an art class) until I purged my belongings pre-PCO visit.
Have you ever found a bed bug on a disk or accompanying package?
As far as the roller goes, I have something similar that I use for pie shells. However, wouldn't a small rolling pin work just as well? I'd look into that... pretty cheap at almost any grocery or cooking supply store.
Arggghhh.... Bugless!!!! I was getting all worked up about restarting my Netflix subscription and then just decided I was being paranoid and not to worry about it. But now you've got me agitated all over again. I *really, really* don't want to go through that big production every time I get a DVD. But then, I *really, really* don't want bedbugs again either. Maybe I can come up with something easier. Most of those damned discs are mucked and scratched anyway, so maybe if I washed every one before viewing and kept the packaging in Ziplocs that would be effective enough... nuts. My uninitiated friends don't worry about getting free bedbugs with their DVD rentals, why do I have to?
Aaaghhhh... last... remaining pieces...- ... of my sanity... -..- .... *disintegrating*.....
HAHAHA I signed up for the Australian equivalent of Netflix a few weeks ago, and when I got 2 discs in the mail today I checked both envelopes carefully thinking that maybe something had crawled in when my housemate had left them on the kitchen table.
I didn't find anything. But then I started wondering if maybe some of MY bed bugs had crawled into the previously sent return envelopes! I did have them sitting on my bed after all, before I even knew I had a problem.
That would SUCK if people got them through envelopes like this. Holy moly. What's worse is - how can those rental companies protect themselves against something like this?
And imagine normal video rental stores ... a bed bug could probably crawl in between the plastic and paper cover ...
I have never actually found bedbugs or their eggs on rental video discs or the accompanying packaging material.
Bedbugs probably could not cling to a disc, but their sticky eggs could.
The greatest possibility is in the paper sleeve, the mailing envelope, and the return envelope. For some reason, bedbugs seem to like paper and cardboard.
I have read that NetFlix is starting to use a new type of sheet plastic for the sleeves. Perhaps it won't be as cozy as paper is to bedbugs. Maybe it could be sprayed with an insect repellent as well.
Also, NetFlix could treat all incoming and outgoing envelopes with X-rays or something else that will kill whatever might be in the envelopes. Heat would do it, up to a point that does not damage the discs. NetFlix has such an excellent organization going that I do not think they will ignore this problem.
But if science does not come up with a more general method to easily kill bedbugs, all mail will become suspect. Far worse than that, many kinds of business and human activity will be seriously affected, from cruise liners on down. It's staggering to think of.
Or can people learn to become nonchalant about bedbugs, the way they are about mosquito bites?
After all, everyone has millions of bacteria on their skin. A great many people also have eyebrow mites or eyelash mites. But these cannot be seen. There is something horrifying about actually seeing a creature that can feed on you.
A mosquito bites you once then it is gone, and window screens will keep them out of the house. However, bedbugs live inside a house and come back to a person again and again to feed. Can people be taught to tolerate them, the way some of the people in poor countries do?
There is already reading material and stuffed toys that teach kids to have a light-hearted attitude toward creepy-crawlies.
I did a big write-up on checking rental video discs for bedbugs. But I tend to be over-wordy.
Flightorflight says, "I really, really don't want to go through that big production every time I get a DVD."
But it's simple. Just look for bedbugs or eggs when you open the envelopes. Have two ziplocs and a squashblock handy. One ziploc is for sleeves and return envelopes. The other ziploc is for packaging material that will be discarded. Squash anything that drops out. Don't even wait to see if it moves.
Contact-kill or freeze spray could be used instead of a squashblock.
I now check incoming video discs outdoors on my back-yard work bench (an old kitchen table). The only thing I bring indoors are the discs themselves. I leave the ziplocs outside.
Also, all junk mail stays outside the house, waiting in a plastic bag for trash pickup. I seal the plastic bag with a rubber band.
Any package I receive in the mail is also opened outdoors. The packaging material stays out there in a plastic bag, awaiting trash pickup.
I carry all mail from the mail box directly to the to back yard, outside the house.
I open first-class mail at my desk, with the squashblock handy.
I was thinking if eggs are so sticky maybe some scientist can investigate the chemical composition of the glue and artificially create a new kind of crazy-glue from it. Or, create massive bed bug farms, where they are harvested for their glue - Matrix style. Oh how sweet that would be.
Honey comes from a bees behind.
Milk comes from a cows behind.
Glue comes from a bed bugs behind...
I mentioned that bedbugs could be in the paper sleeve that contains a rental video disc. I've never heard of this happening, but it seems possible.
However, do not put video discs in a microwave oven. I tried that a while ago with an old video disc of my own, and the disc was destroyed. I watched through the glass door of the oven, and the disc started to smoke in about 5 seconds. I took it out of the oven, and the recording side was covered with a mosaic of many small cracks.
so it's possible that just a single bug finds it's way on you and presto!
I just moved and I've only had bed bugs for ONE WEEK and there's MANY of them. Mostly all in different stages of nymphs and one adult caught so far.
Is it possible I could have carried multiple bugs in with me?
Is it safe to say they were already here in the apartment?
I have to say that MANY bed bugs appearing in a new apartment all at once seems to suggest they may have been there when you moved in.
People have gotten them from moving trucks, but my money would be on the apartment if you noticed a lot at once.I started and run the site but am "not an expert."

BlackBerry 10 L-Series Smartphone Pics Leak Online
RIM's BlackBerry 10 operating system is not set to make its debut until late January, but photos of a smartphone that reportedly runs the new OS have been leaked online.
Eighteen pictures of the phone, dubbed the L-Series, showed up today on a Vietnamese forum, with shots of the device from all angles; front screen, back panel, battery, USB port, and more.
"Today I was lucky to get it," user uit.edu wrote in a message under an image of the sleek BlackBerry phone, adding that the name of the photographer could not be released.
RIM is set to launched BB10 and unveil new handsets on Jan. 30. While RIM has provided developers and reporters with some hands-on time with BB10, few details about its new smartphones have been released. The company has seeded the touch-screen BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha and the QWERTY BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha C to developers to try out the OS, though.
The leaked photos (see slideshow) show the BlackBerry device powered off, so no glimpse at the OS, but they do show off the grey-black bezel attached to the top and bottom of the phone, adding length to the device a la iPhone 5. It also boasts the same rounded corners as Apple's latest offering, but includes slots for a micrsoSIM and microSD card, hidden by the rear cover. Underneath the removable piece of plastic is an NFC antenna, as well as an 1,800mAh batter, based on the photos.
The L-Series seems to include the play/pause toggle button, hiding in the middle of the volume rocker on the right side of the phone, while micro-USB and micro-HDMI ports balance out the left side.
BlackBerry 10 SDK
On Wednesday, meanwhile, RIM released the "gold" build of the BlackBerry 10 developer toolkit, including all final tools, components, and APIs for developers to play with, including building blocks for native C/C++ and Qt developers, as well as those working with HTML5.
"We have been actively engaged with developers from around the world for many months and as we near the final weeks toward the launch of BlackBerry 10, the growing dedication and commitment we see from our developer community is truly outstanding," RIM's Alec Saunders said in a statement.
The new OS was launched in May during RIM's BlackBerry World conference in Florida. At the time, CEO Thorsten Heins had been on the job for just three months, but said he was ready to take the phone maker to the next level. In less than 60 days, the world will find out whether he can deliver.

KW Variant 1 Coilovers For Alfa Romeo 156
Setup – factory-set pre-configured damping setup
The Variant 1 "inox-line" has a vehicle-specific, fix configured damping setup with a sporty and harmonious adjustment, which allows you to experience an optimal balance of sportiness and everyday practicality. Even with full payload and maximum axle loads, the dampers always work with a sporty characteristic.
Continuously lowering
The KW Variant 1 allows a maximum or individual lowering within the tested adjustment range. Due to the dirt-resistant trapezoidal thread and the polyamide threaded ring, the continuous lowering can be varied quickly and easily, even after years.
The benchmark for coilovers
As with all KW coilovers, the engineers at KW develop in extensive test cycles on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and in our test center on the KW 7-post rig the vehicle-specific KW damper setup estimated by car enthusiasts worldwide. So you will experience your car even more directly and dynamically with a KW coilover kit.
After all, you do not buy just any coilover kit, but a KW coilover kit that has been specially developed and adapted for your vehicle type. KW as manufacturer exclusively uses own resources, high-quality components, and the same damper technology as high-volume manufacturers. With the KW coilover suspension Variant 1 "inox-line", the roll and pitch movements of the vehicle body are reduced during compression, so you benefit from an unadulterated directness and a sportier handling while driving.
Our experiences for your driving pleasure
For more than 20 years, we as a manufacturer have been the market leader and innovator of individual suspension solutions for the street and racing applications. No matter where in the world, sporty drivers, automobile manufacturers, and refiners rely on our KW coilovers "Made in Germany".
Every KW coilover kit undergoes extensive stress tests during production and is developed and manufactured directly in our company headquarters in Fichtenberg in order to meet the high standards of our KW quality management. So for us as a German manufacturer, it is important that we guarantee a several-year warranty on our KW coilover kits, which exceed the original equipment manufacturer quality, as well as suspension solutions which include more than 4,600 applications.

When you're looking for a girl - you want someone UNIQUE. Someone who's NOT like the "other girls." You know the type - the ones who say "I'm not like the other girls" in their social media and dating app profiles.
1. She lives for the drama of it all
Confronting her stepfather over his NRA membership, protesting for better pay for teachers, canvassing for pro-choice local government candidates. Ugh! She just NEVER turns down a chance to start some DRAMAAAAA. Waiting until she reaches the office bathroom to burst into a fit of tears so as not to make a scene in the conference room where she won't even get the chance to speak, and if she did so her point would just be repeated by someone else and then applauded, so what's the point of even trying, anyway? You KNOW we can hear your muffled sobs, Karen - and we are SICK of your drama!
2. She NEVER admits she's wrong
When I send her a VERY convincing meme that says the wage gap is a myth, does she calmly admit the error of her ways? No! She unfriends me and stops answering my texts - classic "basic" behavior. A more mature adult is able to admit when they're wrong, instead of blocking me on Instagram.
3. She's just so NEEDY
Access to safe, affordable healthcare? She needs it. Men in her life who she can trust not to reveal themselves as creeps / false allies? She needs it. Jeez, maybe stop making everything about YOU!
4. She only wants to watch chick flicks
Ugh, you know there are movies OTHER than chick flicks, right? While you wanna see Deadpool 2, she wants to go see some lame-lookin' chick flick like Nadine Labaki's riveting existential drama Capharnaüm. When you wanna rent Deadpool 1, she wants to rent Julia Ducournau's challenging Raw, a tale of lust, violence, and the primal urges that society represses. Ugh! Don't you ever get sick of that mushy crap?
5. She's so clingy
Texting you to ask when you're coming home, repeatedly asking you to do the laundry, asking you if you can drive her home after her appendicitis surgery. Maybe try to be a little more INDEPENDENT, okay? But while she's at it, maybe she can draft up that cover letter that you've been meaning to write.
6. She just can't hang
Remember that time all your college buddies came over to play Settlers of Catan, drink IPAs, and talk about whether or not Hollywood really needed another female-driven sitcom? Why did she have to clench her jaw and leave the room for fifteen minutes, only to come back with puffy, red eyes? Talk about DRAMATIC, much! Jeez, would it kill her to just lighten up and take a chill pill every once in a while?
7. She isn't a team player
...Or maybe she is! It hasn't ever really been made clear if she is a team player or prefers working alone due to only assuming based on the two personality traits displayed upon a first introduction, but one of those options means that she's bubbly, very fertile, and totally DTF after an Imagine Dragons concert and the other means that she is distant and barren, waiting for the bitter winds of yesteryear to call her into the maelstrom of the winter solstice. Ladies are so complicated!
8. She has a VERY COMPLICATED AND EMOTIONALLY RIFE relationship with her body
Consistently smoothing out her sides when she comes across a mirror, staring at her stomach and wishing it were more toned in order to be deemed "beach worthy", trying every new skincare regimen and then collapsing in exhaustion when she realizes nothing she ever does will please anyone. Can't she just see that she doesn't need all that crap and that she's beautiful just the way she is, and that with some natural-looking and dewy makeup, a floral sundress, perky boobs for her lithe frame, and a beaming smile at all times, she'll be even more beautiful? You just ask for so little!
9. She CANNOT make a decision
Being asked when she wants to have kids without being asked if she wants to in the first place, being asked when she wants to get married and that if she does want to get married and have kids within a timely, age-appropriate manner she has to start now as her biological clock is ticking, being asked if she thinks you're "the one." How typical!
10. She's SO emotional
Quietly crying tears of anguish when her basic reproductive rights are trying to be denied, crying tears of happiness and joy when a woman is elected into any semblance of world power, crying on the couch after a particularly hard day at work trying to please everyone for fear of being seen as "difficult." Just calm down!

"And you, Atlos," said the wizard. "Are you ready to take on this quest, to take the burden of this world upon your shoulders?"
Atlos shrugged. "I guess so, Master Flayto."
"Then to begin, you must first enter the Cave."
"No. Not the Cave."
"Yes. The Cave."
"But the alligator--"
"The stories about the Cave are allegories. Not alligators."
Atlos turned at the shout.
Scam stood at the end of the lane with a mare and a wooden cart. "I've got our travel arrangements."
"Be certain you don't mix them up, Master Scam," said Flayto.
"What do you mean?" said Scam.
"Horse, then cart."
"He means don't put the cart before the horse, Scam," said Atlos.
"Oh! Right! I knew that."
"Good horse," said Flayto.
"You know it?" said Atlos.
"The mare?" Flayto nodded. "Her name is Imbrium."
"What happens when I get to the Cave?" said Atlos.
"You must seek out the serpent Sturmandrang and defeat it. The serpent guards the only weapon which can defeat the Follies--the Hie Dagger."
"But I still don't understand why I must do this. I'm just an apprentice mapmaker."
Flayto chuckled. "Atlos Randmacnallie, there is more about you than you think. Fear not, my boy. You will have help on your quest."
"What kind of help?"
"Me," said a voice.
The two of them turned.
A tall figure dressed in black stood before them, rugged, stubbled face staring out from beneath the cowl of his cloak.
"Who are you?" said Altos.
"I am Vigilius," said the stranger, bowing with a flourish. "At your service."
"It is good to see, old friend," Flayto said to Vigilius.
"Who's the vagabond?" said Scam, walking up to the trio.
"That 'vagabond'," said Flayto, "is from the kingdom of Soren. A member of its elite soldiers."
Altos gasped. "You mean he's one of the Keer'kh Guards?"

We've Moved!
Crisscrossed Life has moved. You can now find us at www.crisscrossedlife.com.
Please come check us out there!
I recently guest posted over at Creative Chaos Consultant about the Put Up or Shut Up Challenge. Here's my post about it (and the others are here), but in a nutshell, Victorio Milian asked HR pros what we were going to do to be a HR Rock Star in 2010.
As I was writing the post, I started thinking about some of the other things crisscrossing through my world right now. There's a lot going on and it's an exciting time for me. I'm learning and being challenged daily and I love it!
So what's going on? Good question. Glad you asked!
Outside of my HR responsibilities at the really cool ad agency I work for, here's what's been going on with me:
- Louisville SHRM Board – As I mentioned in my Put Up or Shut Up post, I recently accepted a board position with our local SHRM chapter as the Communications and Technology Chair. Part of my responsibility this year will be to get the chapter moving into the social media arena. I also want to tackle our website; get in behind the scenes and get a better understanding of the back-end side of the site. I'd like to work on making it more interactive, more user-friendly.
- HRevolution 2010 – I had such a good time on the planning committee for the first HRevolution, I signed up for more! I am very excited about this year's event but I can't let the secrets out of the bag just yet. Stay tuned!
- Personnel Committee – yes, that's correct. My church is still calling it a Personnel Committee and I am now a member of said committee. My first task? Change the name. Second task? Putting some processes in place for recruiting and other HR-related issues. We're busy recruiting now for a couple of positions, so I had to hit the ground running!
- Couples Ministry – My husband and I have started a Couples Ministry at church. We've been planning this ministry for almost a year and it's all coming together. We started our marketing campaign in January and had our kick-off session this past Friday. 24 couples attended the kick-off and we had a great time! We already have our second session planned and are working on the rest of the year. We're really excited about this ministry and are looking forward to growing together as a couple, and encouraging other couples to do the same.
- 50th Wedding Anniversary – Speaking of couples, my parents will be celebrating 50 years of marriage this year!! My siblings and I are busy planning a big to-do to celebrate this milestone. With one out of every two marriages ending in divorce, 50 years is definitely something to celebrate!
So that's some of what's crisscrossing through my life right now. How about you? What's going on in your world?
HR Carnival: Local Support for Haiti
Michael VanDervort from the Human Race Horses blog, is doing another special HR Carnival. This time it's to showcase local support for Haiti.
A group called Edge Outreach,an international faith-based group, with headquarters in Louisville, is busy providing water for the children and families effected by this crisis. The Edge Outreach water team recently installed three water systems in the area – one at a Salvation Army site filled with homeless survivors, another serving a clinic that is seeing more than 200 injured or sick patients daily and a third at a Haitian Community Hospital.
Other local entities have also aided in this relief effort. The Louisville Water Company, the Metropolitan Sewer District and our city government donated a total of $25000. And members of one local church, Southeast Christian, have donated over $80000.
Edge is providing a wonderful service. Donations are still being accepted and every little bit counts and goes a long way to helping Edge provide clean water to the survivors.
If you're interested in donating, you can do so directly on their site.
I feel like I've been waiting for January 1, 2010 for some time now. While a lot of great things happened in 2009, there were definitely a few things that I'm looking forward to leaving behind. I've always been excited about a new year starting and all of the great things I'd like to try to tackle. But this new year, 2010, I am so ready for it like never before.
Challenges and all, I'm very thankful for 2009. I met some new friends, reconnected with old ones, stepped outside of my comfort zone a few times, and believe it or not, said 'no' more often.
For 2010, there are a couple of things I'm excited about. The first is the opportunity to connect more, both personally and professionally. I will take my online relationships offline, and work to spend more one-on-one time with my friends and family.
The second is an adventure that my husband and I are taking on….a marriage ministry. We're really excited about it and looking forward to learning, sharing and growing together and with the other couples in the ministry.
Exciting times for 2010. I'm looking forward to a terrific year. How about you?
Happy New Year!!
As we close out this Thanksgiving weekend, I wanted to take the opportunity to share my 'thankful' list.
- I am thankful for a wonderful husband who loves me unconditionally, prays with and for me, makes me laugh, and who I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life with.
- I am thankful for my two beautiful children. It is such a blessing to have my little ones in my life, watching them learn and grow and seeing things through their young eyes. They keep me on my toes and I love every minute of it!
- I am thankful for sweet, beautiful girlfriends who love and support me, laugh with me, cry with me, tell me when I'm right and when I'm wrong and are right there whenever I need them.
- I am thankful for my family. My husband and I have a great combined family and we can always count on lots and lots of laughter when we all get together.
- I am thankful for the struggles opportunities for growth that I've had during my life. I am the person I am today, in part, due to the trials and tribulations I've dealt with and I'm grateful that I can now look back on most of these and see the lessons in each one of them. And I am thankful for the opportunities I've had to share these lessons with others who are going through similar issues.
- I am thankful to my mother for showing me what having faith in God means and for giving me the tools and opportunities to develop and grow in my own faith.
I am thankful. Truly thankful.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
HRevolution Edition Of The HR Carnival
As you know from my last few posts, I recently participated in a un-conference for HR professionals – HRevolution. I posted my recap about the event here but I was just one of approximately 50 folks who attended the event and many of these folks also blogged about their experiences and take-aways.
And now, all of these terrific blog posts are in one location for your reading pleasure. Trish McFarlane is hosting the HR Carnival's HRevolution edition over on her blog, HR Ringleader and it's a great collection of fun stories about the attendees, the un-conference style, turning tweeps to peeps, and the future of HR. It was a great event and Trish did a wonderful job of pulling all of the stories together.
So head on over to the carnival today and spend a little time reading about HRevolution. Oh, and bring me back some popcorn!

Product Description
Surviving One Night Outside of Arkham
The storm had been brewing for days and now it hits! Combined with restless, idle youth and the desire for easy money, something has been released out there amid the darkness, the howling wind, and lashing rain.
Dead Light is an adventure scenario for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying system designed to be played in one or more gaming sessions. An exercise in Lovecraftian-flavored survival horror, the unwitting investigators are caught up in a spiral of terror where only their quick thinking, and courage, will see them through till the clouds clear and a new dawn beckons.
Suitable as a stand alone adventure or as a sidetrack within a larger campaign, Dead Light is set in Lovecraft Country, north of Arkham, during the early 1920s and is ideal for groups of between three to six players.
This is one journey your players will not soon forget.
THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE PRODUCT. By Alan Bligh. 32 x 8.5 x 11" pages.
What the Critics Say
"The very well-written and extremely versatile Dead Light is a great little scenario, be it a one-of, an intro piece or a side trek. The simpler stories are sometimes the best ones."—Antonios S. review, RPGNet.
"…a solid scenario and the best title released by Chaosium in years." (review written in 2014)—Reviews from R'lyeh.

Former Congressman Aaron Schock and his attorneys appeared in Springfield federal court this week for a hearing to determine if he should be held in civil contempt for failing to produce campaign and congressional records.
Exactly what documents were at issue during the hearing held Tuesday and Wednesday was not clear. U.S. District Judge Sue Myerscough has ordered Schock to produce the records.
Schock's lead attorney, George Terwilliger, said attorneys were seeking to secure Schock's constitutional rights in connection with a grand jury investigation. The Republican from Peoria is under federal investigation over his use of taxpayer and campaign money.
U.S. attorney spokeswoman Sharon Paul says the hearing began as a closed hearing and was later opened by the court. However, the court record is sealed.
Schock stepped down in March amid mounting scrutiny of his spending.

Edgard Garrido, Reuters TIJUANA, Mexico - At least 150 Central American migrants reached the border between Mexico and the United States on Sunday, determined to seek asylum from the US. The group arrived in the Mexican border town of Tijuana, part of a caravan of more than 1,000 people who set out from Mexico's southern border on March 25. "We still need to ask for asylum and we hope the US government will open the doors," Reyna Isabel Rodriguez, 52, told AFP after travelling from El Salvador with her two grandchildren. "What worries me most are my grandchildren. I don't want to be separated from them," she said. Some of the group sang the Honduran national anthem, and about 30 of them climbed the border fence and shouted slogans about the migrant struggle. "We want to tell the president of the United States that we are not criminals, we are not terrorists, that he gives us the opportunity to live without fear. I know that God will touch his heart," said Irineo Mujica of the migrant rights group Pueblo Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders) that organized the procession. Border patrol agents could be seen observing the migrants from the US side on Sunday. US WARNING Washington has threatened to arrest the migrants if they try to sneak in from the border. The Department of Homeland Security issued a stark warning Wednesday to the first 120 who arrived, including some 50 minors. "If you enter our country illegally, you have broken the law and will be referred for prosecution," DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said. The caravan is a tradition dating back to 2010 and is designed to draw attention to the plight of destitute Central Americans crossing through Mexico to try to reach the US and the promise of a better life. This time, it set out with 1,000 people, but they have since dispersed, with some now travelling on their own. Media coverage of the US-bound caravan triggered a flurry of furious tweets from US President Donald Trump, who ordered thousands of National Guard troops to the border and called on Mexico to stop the migrants. Mexico rejected the pressure from Trump. Instead, it gave the migrants a one-month transit pass to decide if they want to seek refuge in Mexico, go back home or keep trudging toward the United States.

Arjowiggins Creative Papers, has partnered with Jean Francois Porchezpan from Typofonderie to launch five free typefaces to promote the new for the Conqueror range of papers. The typefaces designed by Porchez include AW Conqueror Sans, AW Conqueror Didot, AW Conqueror Inline, AW Conqueror Slab and AW Conqueror Carved.
In addition, a Chinese font is available in partnership with The Beijing Founder Electronics Company. Arjowiggins says that the typefaces provide designers with fresh and innovative ways to get their own unique messages to stand out.
Arjowiggins invited three leading artists – Seb Lester, illustrator; Thomas Brown, photographer; and Tsang Kin-Wah, contemporary artist, to ruminate and create designs that reflect the theme. By using the new typefaces and the latest Conqueror papers the artists have showcased the range by creating a designers' brochure.
The brochure provides a dedicated toolkit to inspire designers. When you turn the page you discover the full alphabet for each typeface, a short brief about each style, and exciting, impactful designs made from different combinations of Conqueror papers, typefaces and printing techniques.
The new typefaces are used in all Conqueror marketing materials – including another brochure targeted at printers, illustrated by designer Damien Weighill.
All the new typefaces are available for free to download from the Conqueror website.
Jean Francois Porchez says that the typefaces "reflect the rejuvenation of the Conqueror brand: they are elegant and classic but also innovative and exciting. Each typeface can be harmoniously mixed with any other style in the range, as they each follow the same basic structure. This empowers designers with a great deal of flexibility to create a range of distinctive visual effects. It is easy for more inexperienced designers to work with the typefaces, while accomplished designers will be attracted by the historical typographic references as each font explores and reworks a different period from the typography cannon.
"The new AW Conqueror Sans typeface draws inspiration from European designs between World Wars I and II, whilst evoking the spirits of the Bauhaus and Art Deco periods. Geometric lines and Swashes capitals, more commonly seen in Renaissance italics, have been added to give the typeface creative flair. It is a stylish and smart typeface and gives a metallic aspect to printed materials.
"AW Conqueror Didot is a sophisticated typeface inspired by the 1960s and 1970s interpretations of the Didot dynasty. This new font is an ode to the heyday of dry transfer alphabets and Herb Lubalin, the typographer who mastered the art of setting glyphs as close a possible without overlapping. The result is an elegant typeface that pairs well with Conqueror Laid, a textured paper with fine lines, to create a modern and chic look.
"AW Conqueror Inline pays homage to Nobel inline, a 20th century font created by SH de Ross.
"AW Conqueror Slab draws on inspiration from the 1930s geometrical slab typography. AW Conqueror Slab is a modern graphic version of slab typography with a strong design. In the brochure, Thomas Brown pairs the typeface with new Conqueror Wove and Print Excellence technology to really do justice to the vivid colours and bold blacks.
"The AW Conqueror Carved typeface encapsulates the lettering styles that were in fashion during the 19th century. The typeface includes variations in depths and relief effects and provides an invitation to play with colour and volume when printing."
In partnership with The Beijing Founder Electronics Company, Arjowiggins has included a special Chinese typeface in the toolkit. Artist, Tsang-Kin-Wah mixes English and Chinese cultures in his work to create a mix of modern typography and contemporary art.

Officer Cadet Harry Baldock has long believed in fostering a collaborative spirit from his days in the University Squadron at Sheffield. But it's the strong team ethic during his training at RAF Cranwell he says has contributed to his winning the RAF's Presentation Sword for Work in the Community and Charity, sponsored by the OA.
Harry says: "The feeling of team work is instilled very early on in the RAF. I'm yet to find it elsewhere."
As Chair of the Charity Committee at Cranwell Harry has certainly enabled his team to achieve a lot.
Under his guidance and direction nearly £4000 was raised for a number of different charities. He was instrumental in the success of all charity events – the Squadron running, rowing, cycling and swimming the distance covered by Op CHASTISE to the Mohne Dam for the RAFBF, undertaking the Lincoln 10K and providing logistical support and charity runners for the Airfield Anarchy 10K Mud Run for the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance.
Wg Cdr Gordon Bettington says: "He has proved himself to be a dedicated and driven individual willing to put others before himself. My main reason for nominating him is not the fact he happens to be the Chair of the Committee but the selfless manner he has contributed and pushed along the various projects."
He adds: "Approaching each endeavour with vigour and enthusiasm, Baldock has epitomised all that the Royal Air Force should expect of its Junior Officers."
Harry is pleased to know that the money raised is going into the local community.
He says: "I'm chuffed to bits to have won but this is an award for the charity committee. They've put a lot of work in and given something back to the community."
A huge well done to Harry, from all of us at the OA!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LM22 from Favorite Margarita Mix I love margaritas. I've tried a lot of different skinny margarita mixes and I find them all to have a strange artificial sweater taste, high in carbs, a weird after taste, or high in sugar. This mix is a little tart but it taste real! 15 calories, 3g sugar, 4 carbs... it's refreshingly good!Date published: 2019-09-06Rated 5 out of 5 by Midge716 from Love it! We've been ordering this skinny marg mix for a few years now and we love it. We make them a lot for parties too and everyone seems to enjoy the margs enough to ask what mix we use. We do use a splash of Grand Marnier in ours...which my husband says cuts the sour taste a little bit. Maybe that's why I don't think it's sour like the other review??Date published: 2017-03-15Rated 2 out of 5 by prospectprk from Not so good :( Not as good as the previous mix. This tastes bitter and sour to me. We ended up having one drink and throwing the rest outDate published: 2017-03-12

5 March 2015
The Austin Panthers have had a successful start to 2015. With a strong leadership team including SRCs from years 7-12, two new staff members and seven new students, Austin has never been stronger. This has been highlighted with the new buddy system between year 7s and year 12s which is working well and bringing the two year levels closer. It also allows the year 12s to give their buddies sound advice and, most importantly, to help the newest members of Austin feel at home.
Although the swimming carnival wasn't our greatest achievement (finishing seventh out of eight), the day was positive with the highest level of participation in recent years and some outstanding performances.
The Austin House barbecue was memorable. Students and their families welcomed and congratulated new members of the house and those that have become leaders. The night was enjoyed with a well-cooked barbecue and, most importantly, a friendly game of downball between the year levels.
Finally, our fund-raising efforts this year will focus on helping tea farmers in Bangladesh. Working in modern slave-like conditions, these workers earn barely enough for food and cannot send their children to school. Without our support these children will never be able to break the cycle of poverty.
Keep a look out for coming events within the house, because we are planning a big year ahead.

Windows 10 comes complete with a number of energy effecient options, however some of these leave may leave your screen brightness uncomfortably dark.
Here's several ways to make the screen brighter.
How to disable automatic brightness adjustments
For computers with a light sensor, typically laptop computers, Windows 10 has the ability to automatically adjust the screen brightness depending on the ambient light levels.
This feature can be more annoying than helpful, either leaving your screen too dark or too frequently adjusting the brightness.
Here's how to disable the automatic screen brightness feature:
- In the 'Search the web and Windows' box in the taskbar, type 'brightness'
- From the list, click on 'Turn auto brightness on or off'
- Turn the 'Adjust my screen brightness automatically' to 'Off'
How to adjust screen brightness
- In the 'Search the web and Windows' box in the taskbar, type 'brightness'
- From the list, click on 'Adjust screen brightness'
- For the power plan you have selected (e.g. 'Energy Saver') click on 'Change plan settings'
- If your computer has a battery, you will have a screen brightness option for when on battery as well as on power.
- Adjust each 'Adjust plan brightness' as required and click 'Save changes' to save your changes.
Use the monitors brightness settings
If neither of these options helped, you may need to adjust the brightness of your monitor using the adjustment options on the monitor.
If you're using a laptop computer, these are usually located on the keyboard under the F buttons (e.g. F1). You should seen an icon on the button which represents the screen brightness being more or less. You may also need to use the FN (function) button on the keyboard to use these buttons.
If you're using a desktop computer, the buttons are normally located to the side of the monitor.
