Abby Lee Miller is back! It's like she never left, right? Last night was the premiere of the new season (second half of a prolonged season?) of Dance Moms, and it did not disappoint. Two hours, y'all! Too much, or not enough?
The moms and daughters arrive for a new season after a month long break, and Abby hasn't forgotten the sting of losing to Cathy's Candy Apples. Kelly is upset that she's still fighting with all of her friends. Before the pyramid can even begin, Abby reveals that she is livid about losing to Cathy. She also shares that Asia is in L.A. pursuing a great opportunity that Abby supports. The moms realize it's only a matter of time before Kristie 2.0 returns. Kendall is on the bottom of the pyramid. Perhaps she would have done better if she hadn't cried like a baby. Yep, I'd say Abby's back with a vengeance.
MacKenzie is also on the bottom, and Abby reminds her how easily Asia beat her at every turn (literally). Nia follows for not having the straightest of limbs during her routine. Brooke rounds out the bottom for being all right. Chloe is last on the second rung for not beating Maddie. Asia is ahead of her, followed by Paige. Abby reminds everyone of the fallout from Cathy and Anthony calling her out during the group routine. Paige is in second for standing up to adults who were criticizing her. Maddie, once again, makes her way to the top of the pyramid.
Abby tells her dancers that she's only planning on using Maddie, Chloe, Nia, and Kendall for the group number…a jazz dance. Kelly is livid that her daughters are left out once again. Maddie and Chloe are gifted a duet, while Paige has a solo. Brooke is moved up to the senior group, and Abby urges her not to let the older team down. This week's competition will be in Pittsburgh, and Cathy will be in attendance. Holly is hoping that the troupe can prevail over the Candy Apples. Speaking of, Cathy is at her studio baby talking about her boy group and her domination over Abby. She is upset over rumors that her boys are texting the ALDC girls about wanting to dance for Abby. Ahh, young love. A very emotional Anthony introduces a number that reminds Anthony of his relationship with his deceased father.
According to Abby, Brooke has had it easy competing with eight-year-olds. Abby can't wait to see what happens when she puts Brooke in with some mature talent and pairs her with a boy. Kelly is happy that her daughter is dancing with the seniors, but she feels like Brooke is being set up as the weakest link by dancing a routine that everyone else has known for a year. Holly thinks that Brooke is a natural, but Kelly doesn't want to hear any praise for Abby's decision. Jill thinks that Kelly will never be satisfied with any choice that Abby makes.
Maddie and Chloe practice their duet, and Abby is counting on a win. She's pushing the girls to their limits while Christi and Melissa pretend to be fine with her critiques. Abby is super tan tonight, and she's worried that Maddie has been flirting with one of the Candy Apple boys. MacKenzie spills the beans that Gino and Maddie have been texting, and he kissed her at the last competition. Paige is working on her solo, and Abby reminds her that she's worthy of being hated since she's so pretty and talented. Who wouldn't hate her? I guess this is reverse psychology. Abby wants Paige to prove that she's a force to be reckoned with…and not someone who should be criticized by adults in the audience. Kelly is still taking issue with Brooke being forced into the senior troupe and Paige being shunned from the group dance. Jill decides to intervene. Of course she does. Kelly insults Kendall when she hears Jill chatting with Abby about Brooke's move. Enter new mama drama! Jill needs to butt out, don't you think? Kelly goes so far as to say she hopes that Brooke's inability causes the senior routine to lose. Melissa, Christi, Holly, and Jill commiserate over lunch and plan an intervention to get Kelly over her negativity. Holly is the only level headed one of the group (surprise, surprise), but the moms decide to plan a fun event for Kelly's girls so the troupe feels more cohesive.
The Candy Apples are doing an endurance boot camp thanks to Anthony. The dance dads are on board, although one of them worries that the practice it too difficult for his son. Geez. Thanks for the scripted silliness, Lifetime! Anthony and a helicopter dad get into an argument over pushing the boys. Well lookie here! Cathy's got her own drama with the dads. What a parallel. I'd love to see the turtleneck dad get into a fight with the dad that's always starting drama with Abby's moms. A tearful Cathy urges macho break dancing kid's dad to apologize to turtleneck dad. No can doosville, baby doll. We learn that turtleneck dad's son is the one with the crush on Maddie. Traitor! Forgive me for not learning the dad's names. It's just too much. 🙂 Cathy is worried that turtleneck dad isn't supportive of her dancer troupe. Back at the ALDS, the moms reveal their plan to make sure Kelly's girls feel included. Kelly doesn't want their sympathy. The other moms are upset when Abby makes her seniors critique Paige much like Anthony and Cathy criticized her. Kelly finds this incredibly unfair given the fact that Abby's dancer think so highly of her senior troupe. Man, I feel horribly for Paige.
Jill tries to insert herself into even more drama by chatting up Christi in the costume room regarding Kelly. When Jill tries to create a situation where the moms are ganging up on Kelly, the other moms do not support her, but an argument erupts between Christi and Kelly. Christi accuses Kelly of taking out her anger towards Abby on her. Agreed! Christi storms out of the staging area. Man, the producers have clearly told the mothers to step it up, haven't they? Paige and Maddie come up to the moms' area in tears after Christi tells them that Kelly is clearly jealous of Chloe's talent. I hate this…at least in the past, the moms have kept their daughters out of it. These women need to lock it up, STAT. Holly tries to play peacemaker, but Kelly doesn't want to hear it and becomes hysterical.
The boys are facing quieter drama among the dads as they practice their group dance which is a dramatization of athletes using performance enhancing drugs. Anthony is demanding 100 percent from the boys in his duet. They are depicting his father's passing, and Anthony requires perfection. We all know that Anthony is just Abby trapped in a fit male hipster's body. Boys are crying, Anthony is agitated, and Cathy wonders if allowing Anthony to be so intense will drive her parents away. Meanwhile, Brooke is doing a great job with the senior group. Her chemistry with the male dancer is spot on. Brooke enjoys the challenge, but Abby thinks she needs to connect more with her male counterpart. Abby forces them on a date. Brooke isn't excited about dating some guy at the studio…wouldn't that make her have to be around Abby even more? At least the moms are on board, and we get treated to a scripted first date. Brooke thinks they are better off as dance partners than love interests.
Jill keeps trying to insert herself in the rift between Kelly and Christi, and Christi is very sad. She feels like she's going through a divorce as their friendship deteriorates. Likewise, Melissa is trying to gage Kelly's feelings about Christi. The moms are trying in vain to get these women to communicate. Cathy is also facing drama regarding Anthony's duet in memory in honor of his father. What an emotional night, right? Wrong! It's so calculated, I can barely stomach it…although I know Anthony's duet will make me cry during the actual competition! Back at ALDS, Abby blames the girls' attitudes on their mothers' horrendous and embarrassing behavior.
Thankfully, it's time for the competition. Two hours is a lot for Dance Moms, isn't it, y'all? Melissa is just thankful that the always level-headed Holly takes charge to keep everyone calm, cool, and collected while Abby seethes about once again facing Cathy. Maddie and Chloe's duet is first, and they are just amazing. I love to see their talent on the stage at the same time. Amazing. Of course, they are followed by Anthony's tribute to his recently passed dad, which is equally stirring. Abby is vocal about her disdain for the dance, and it causes even more backstage drama. Once again, Holly is tasked with smoothing things over with Anthony.
Abby's pep talk for Paige's solo is to not run off stage crying. Seriously? At least Cathy is supportive of her dancers. Her student Nick performs a technically perfect bird solo, but it's not my cup of tea (so it will probably win!). Paige's dance is very energetic, but Melissa seems more into it than Kelly. At least Paige receives Abby's praises backstage which pleases Kelly. As if on cue, Jill then demands an apology from Kelly for talking about Kendall. Melissa tries to diffuse the situation, but Kelly and Christi's friendship is coming to an end. Neither wants it to end, but both refuse to compromise or admit wrongdoing.
In the hallway, Cathy, Christi, and Jill get into a nasty argument in front of the kids about plastic surgery and bicycle wheels. It's bad news though when Anthony and the parents accidentally laugh at Jill's jokes. Cathy wants a new team with new parents, so Anthony starts kissing up immediately. Let's forget about that silliness, because it's time for the group numbers. The senior troupe is phenomenal, and Brooke fits right in with her peers. Abby is beyond proud. Cathy's boy are up next, and it's a cute, yet gimmicky piece. The boys can dance, that's for sure, but it's certainly not their best number…although I did like the human bike! Abby's foursome is all sass and perfectly in synch. I love to see Nia dancing up to the girls in her group. She is just as talented, but she never seems to get the recognition.
At the awards presentation, Paige wins the second overall high score with the bird dancer winning first. Called it! Anthony's tribute to his father gets runner up in the duets to Chloe and Maddie. The senior group takes the top spot in their category, and Abby calls Brooke an asset to the team. Thankfully, Abby's foursome wins the group dance, and Cathy's boys garner second. Holly hopes that the wins will change Kelly's attitude. Cathy is livid. Kelly feels like she's lost her biggest ally in Christi. Abby tries to talk up Kelly's daughters to no avail, and she' upset that Kelly can't be happy for her girls and instead continues to mope. More drama ensues when one of Cathy's dads tries to defect to Abby's team. A tearful Cathy is quick to turn on turtleneck dad for not being a team player. Cathy kicks the rotten apple father off of her team. At least, Abby is praising her girls to no end…that's a first!
Next week, Asia is back, and Abby pits Maddie and Chloe against one another. Melissa finds herself once again on the outside of the mom clique.

MINI-VIEW: ROGER DeCOSTER - CAPTAIN AMERICA
Ken Roczen is so focused on winning, but he looks a bit dejected on the podium sometimes. What advice do you offer Roczen?
It's not easy! It's not just trying on race day, but the whole week. Both of my guys have a ways to go on preparation. It's the first time that they have raced a full season of the Nationals. When you tell them how hot it's going to be at some of the races they tell me that it's also hot in Europe. Well, it's a little bit different here. Also, the level of competition is higher.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
Since I no longer use the term girl crush, I'll just say that Anna Kendrick is so cute and hilarious and because of her Twitter feed alone, she is near the top of my Celebrities I Would Want To Have A Four-Hour Brunch With list. Besides being incredibly talented, she always comes off as genuine and truly in touch with the real world, not like she's pretending to know how us mere non-famous mortals live.
Anna hosted SNL over the weekend but unfortunately, I was so tired from the going away party that I went to earlier (those three STRONG gin cocktails I had did me in) that by the time I got home and remembered that she was hosting, I couldn't keep my eyes open. I didn't support my girl! I'm a really wack make-believe friend. Anyway, she managed to soldier on without me and by all accounts she killed it.
Yesterday I was checking out recaps of Anna's SNL episode online and that led me to a cute interview with her about beauty stuff. When asked about her skin care routine, in typical self-deprecating Anna fashion, she said, "I've been trying to get into big girl products lately."
Big girl products; big girl skincare. I totally get that. It's the stuff you switch to (maybe in your late 20s or early 30s) when you start thinking that maybe it wouldn't hurt to start using eye cream on the regular. Not necessarily one of those high-tech expensive ones with a futuristic sounding name, but something. It's that time in your life when the voice in your head says that maybe instead of just grabbing whatever face wash is on sale at Target, you should give your cleanser a teensy bit more thought. Same with your moisturizer. And your SPF. You get the idea.
I've admitted to you that I rely on face wipes a little more (alright, WAY more) than I should, but I'm definitely at a point where I know I need to change the slacker ways that I've been getting away with for far too long. I'm grateful that I inherited good skin (thanks, momma!), but eventually my black will crack and it will crack sooner if I don't start using the excellent products that I have at my disposal.
When I'm not being lazy (mornings and weekends), I've got a pretty good system going. I'm currently using:
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser ($10.99): I know, BIG SNORE. You can't get five minutes into a conversation with a derm about basic skincare before they start shouting from the rooftops about this cleanser. But after years of ignoring it, I finally tried the version for normal to oily skin and I never looked back. Unlike the classic lotion-y formula, this one lathers up a but you don't get that uncomfortable tight feeling after. I also use it on Ibra when I'm giving him a scrub down with his Clarisonic brush. He has no complaints.
Eve Lom Day Cream ($60) and Eve Lom Eye Cream ($75): This is one of those brands that I always heard other beauty editors rave about, but only really got into myself last year. Of course, I promply had an "OH, I GET IT NOW!" moment. It's rare that I finish a whole jar of something, but I'm actually scraping the bottom of my moisturizer. The texture is somehow both lightweight and rich, but it doesn't leave me looking like I rubbed baby oil all over my face by midday. The eye cream is good, too. I can't say I notice a major difference in my dark circles on tired days, but it does tackle puffiness pretty well.
La Mer The Lifting Contour Serum ($290): I can already hear your howls of disapproval over the price of this. Yes, it is obscene and yes, I scored one for free so let's just get that out of the way. I let my bottle chill in my medicine cabinet for weeks before I actually really started using it. A conversation with Lori, Jane's assistant, was my inspiration. She and I were comparing our faint yet definitely visible neck rings and we both vowed to start giving our skin-below-the-chin more attention. I rememered that I had this serum and I've been doing my darndest to slather it on at least once a day. Anything La Mer qualifies as big girl status and guess what -- Anna uses it, too! See, we were meant to be besties.
Mind if I pry into your bathroom for a minute? What do you have going on skincare wise? Would you say you have a big girl routine or are you still messing with the same products you've known FOREVAH?

We have had some very well-informed feedback to the music that subscribers to Society of Sound music have so far enjoyed. One question that has been raised a number of times is the way in which the albums have been mastered.
The so-called Loudness Wars have been well-documented in the press – if you haven't come across the idea have a look at this video courtesy of Charles Dye's organization Turn Me Up. We spoke to John Dibb, our Senior Development Engineer, to get his thoughts on the issue of mastering compression.
"Acoustic compression, in short, tames the peak volume levels in a recording in order that the overall average level can be raised proportionately. Originally it was introduced in the studio in order to compensate for the limited headroom afforded by analogue tape before distortion occurs. …!In the past ten years compression has increasingly been used during the final process of mastering a recording in order to achieve the maximum volume throughout, such that a track will always be audible even when played in noisy environments – in other words, it has become a weapon in the Loudness Wars."
But as John points out, some acoustic compression is desirable on a recording in order to achieve a satisfactory level of volume during the quieter parts of a track such that they will be audible, for example, when heard on headphones whilst walking down a noisy street.
"What is more relevant is the way the public in general are listening to music – in the street, on the tube, in the car. In all these cases the background noise is so high that the quieter sounds of (acoustically) uncompressed music would be lost. The signal-to-noise on a CD is around 90dB – on vinyl 60dB at best – in a car 25 – 35dB !! So acoustic compression is essential, despite taking some of the drama out of the music. "
This raises a crucial question for the music industry: should music be produced to sound good in all environments? Let us know your thoughts below!

So excited to do my Reiki Level 3 Healing workshop next week! I can then continue on and practice at a practitioners level. Cant wait to continue on helping others to heal……. #mylifeswork #meanttobe #healinglight
Tag: Positivity
Maximum Achievment by Brian Tracy
So i have started reading this new book that was recommended to me called Maximum Achievment by Brian Tracy. Now i had never heard of Brian Tracy so did not know of his work or his fame in this area. So i took the recommendation and ordered it on Chapters, collected my book last night and today on my lunch began the journey into some more knowledge on self discovery and reaching my 'Maximum Achievment' .
As i am moving to Edmonton soon with my other half and i am happily finishing up the job i have worked the last two years in (like a DRONE) i might add i have been really gaining my inner power to really try and reach my maximum and not let myself be limited by my own doing or others doing for that matter, which i feel i have let myself do for the last 2 years in this job, i have squashed my intelligence, creativity and power…but NO MORE!
So i wanted to share with you some of the already inspiring words that i have gotten from this book and i am not even 20 pages in……Needless to say i am more than excited to keep reading…
Peace of mind is central to your very existence. It is the basic precondition for enjoying everything else.
I learned that if i didn't commit to achieving my own happiness, no one else would. If my aim in life was only to make others happy, i would always be at the mercy of the feelings of others, whoever they might be.
If you achieve all kinds of things in the material world but lose your health and piece of mind, you get little or no pleasure from your other accomplishments.
How much two people, or a family, laugh together is the surest single measure of how well things are going. When a relationship is truly happy, people laugh alot when they're together.
How Meditation Can Help You Lose Weight
This is an interesting Article above on How meditation can help you lose weight.
I have since 2013 started really given my focus to meditating when i can or asking myself to do it for its wonderful benefits, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically.
In this article Deanna explains how quieting the mind and focusing on the now can bring about a new awareness to your body and how you see it and also to the way in which you eat as you make different food choices when you are less stressed or anxious. We also eat our food differently when we are relaxed which helps with bloating and nutrient absorption. I have seen the positive effects meditation can have on my food choices, i find i choose the healthier option and as i am more aware and present i notice when i am full and tend not to over-eat, also the actual food taste's better.
Sometimes meditation comes easily and sometimes it takes a little longer to get your mind to focus and be still, either way make no judgment, it is for yourself only and neither meditation is wrong. And you find your own way of meditating, its doesn't have to be the conventional way…
Daily Inspiration……
So i have come to LOVE Affirmations and daily inspirations….so much so that i have an app that gives you these wonderful affirmations as soon as you open it making you feel like a total super hero before you have even had your breakfast and making me feel like the wonderful, amazing person i am. They are great, i instantly get an injection of positive non judgmental self esteem from them.
I have seen coming from Ireland particularly that there is a total stigma surrounded by positive reinforcement of self affirmations such as saying 'i am amazing' ….its is picked up as 'ego' or 'big-headed' when really if you are coming from a non egotistical place and a place of total acceptance and love for yourself and others then saying 'I AM AMAZING' or 'I AM LOVED AND CAN LOVE' or 'I HAVE THE POWER IN ME TO DO ANYTHING' should be totally acceptable. I reckon maybe if people said this a bit more to themselves along with thousands of positive other non-ego affirmations we wouldn't have so much pain, hate, jealousy, greed, depression, melancholy, spitefulness, hurt, poverty, hunger, gloom, conformity, self hatred, low self esteem, along with a whole barrel load of things that these spur…..eating disorders, addictions, cancers, dis-ease's, confusion.
I know this as a person that had a mild eating disorder and then subsequently was never comfortable with my own body, constantly saying in my mind how much i hated it, wish i had someone else's or how it was never good enough. That mixed with anxiety, fear, bottled up anger, doubt and total confusion i was a right mess. I have since recently in the last few months/year had a wonderful movement into self appreciation and self love for the beautiful body i was given and want to give it the best clean nutrition and health and balance i can and love and acceptance for my skills and gifts that i hold.
I am no-more saying i am not good enough or i cannot do this because or its …..fault i feel like this or i hate my body, its such a mean thing to say to yourself, think about it….If someone said to you 'I hate your body' ..or 'You really suck at that'..how hurt would you be….hurt enough to say Shut the ****** up anyway, well then why would you let yourself say it and hurt yourself….see….doesn't make sense. I have only realized this recently and so Everyday i look at myself in the mirror and say "I Love you" and i mean it, everyday i think about the wonderful things i can do or will achieve, i try and give myself love and give it to others without conditions or judgment, i stopped feeling guilty about the past or worrying too much about the future and Affirmations have helped this. I listen to them, i read them, i watch them being done in the form of good deeds to others and im so not joking they are working….i have started to see myself physically differently, of course im sure there will be days where i need it more than others…and hey there is always room for self growth, learning new skills, succeeding in sports or a job or working hard and learning to be done….but for now its not about the Ego attached to them, its about saying i really Love and Accept myself and not to let others stand in the way of that.
So i wanted to share my daily inspirations with you and the story about why i find them so beneficial….

Chris Weidman is the latest to join Kevin Can Wait, HollywoodLife.com can exclusively confirm. The 32-year-old UFC fighter will play Nick, a rookie cop who teams up with Kevin James' ex-partner. Naturally, it causes a rift between Kevin and his BFF, but also creates a "one-sided competition between Kevin and the young super cop."

Kevin naturally gets jealous of how well they're getting along, and in turn wants to show his old friend what he's missing. This marks Chris' first TV gig, but it does make sense — the show is filmed completely in at Gold Coast Studios in Bethpage, New York on Long Island; Chris was born and raised in Baldwin, NY in Nassau County.
Kevin Can Wait was just picked up for a full season by CBS, along with Bull and MacGyver. The series marks Kevin's return to TV following King of Queens. The show also stars Erinn Hayes, Taylor Spreitler and Ryan Cartwright, and airs on Mondays at 8:30 PM.
Chris' cameo will be on Kevin Can Wait in an upcoming episode titled "Who's Better Than Us?"

Norquist Cemetery
Roseau, Roseau County, Minnesota
Unorg Spruce Valley Twp
T163-164N R40W NE Sec 31
(Sections 30 & 31 are a Part of Jadis Twp)
by Marjorie Broten [firstname.lastname@example.com]
submitted: Apr 29, 2012, last updated Apr 15, 2016
Total records = 4
Drive north from Roseau MN on Highway #310 approx 4 miles, watch for 350th Street you will turn here right (east) drive approx 1 mile, you will make another right turn unto 400th Ave (south). You will make a left turn (east) onto 345th Street, drive a short ways, make a left turn go about 1/2 mile stop from here permission from land owners would be needed. You would not see the cemetery from this road. The cemetery is located along the east side of riverbank. It also would be about a 1/2 mile walk across the field from either road. This cemetery would be considered land locked (no roads enter to or from).
The established date was 1890 on 1/4 acre of land from John & Katie Norquist. The few graves that had once been marked now can only be identifed by the remaining good stone of Walfred Haglund. Many smaller broken green stones are scattered to the left of the Haglund stone. The early pioneers living along the river would travel quite well as they all had small boats. Due to the lack of roads, it is possible when a death occured the casket may have been taken across the river by boat for burial to this cemetery. The Norquist family lived on the west side of the river.
Early spoken history indicates the livestock & family milk cows were cared for on the east side of the river. The Haglunds lived away from the river to the east. The cemetery owners are the Norquist Trust land owners. The cemetery is in bad condition & is no longer used for burials.
A complete walk thru readings of all visible headstones completed transcript as of Apri 18, 2012. A digital camera has been used for pictures.

Because extermination of bed bugs can be so lengthy and expensive, it's important to first look for bed bugs signs in order to determine if you actually have a bed bug problem.
So, in this article I'm going to give you a bunch of different bed bugs signs you should look for in order to determine whether you have bed bugs at home or not. But to start with I'm going answer a very common question that people ask when they're trying to tell if you have bed bugs, and that is: "wouldn't I be able to see bed bugs if I have them?"
The short answer is: generally, no.
Although fully-grown adult bed bugs can grow to around 5-7mm in length (that's 1/5th of an inch) and may be visible to the naked eye, most bed bugs are TINY.
That's why below I've listed lots of different signs of bed bugs so that you can determine whether you have bed bugs or not even if you don't see them with your eyes.
Young bed bugs (also called larvae or nymphs) are much smaller so they're even harder to see. In addition, bed bugs generally feed around the early hours of the morning when we move less so that their feeding isn't disturbed. A feeding session typically lasts only around 15 minutes, and most bed bugs only feed every 3-4 days (it's possible for them to go almost one year without food). All of these factors together mean that you are very unlikely to see bed bugs just randomly in your home unless you have a very significant infestation. Of course, if you use one of the bed bug catcher devices I describe below, then you may be able to catch a bed bug and therefore actually see one.
Sometimes, if you do see a small bug on your bed or couch, it can be scary and you may mistake it for a bed bug when it's some other insect.
So, here's an image of a fully-grown adult bed bug so you can make sure that the bug you saw is actually a bed bug and not some other poor creature.
This often the first sign people receive that they have bed bugs at home. They wake up and spot bites on their skin and start worrying about bed bugs.
You may think that it would be obvious if bed bugs were biting you on a regular basis, but it's actually not a reliable method of determining whether or not you have bed bugs.
Bites can vary from person to person, looking like a rash, a reddish raised bump, or even nothing. On some people, one or two puncture marks may be seen, but on many people, no marks are visible at all.
The bite marks that are typically described as bed bug bites are 3 bites in a row on your legs or torso (known as the breakfast, lunch, and dinner bites). The suggestion is that you moved in your sleep to disturb their feeding so they move on and bite you again and so there are often 2-3 bites in a row. However, most people who get bed bugs don't see 3 bites in a row.
Given the fact that bite marks can vary so much from one person to another, just studying the bites alone is not an accurate method of determining whether or not you have bed bugs. Even a doctor cannot tell the difference between bed bugs and other possible reactions or bites, which makes this method a highly unreliable way of telling whether you have bed bugs or not.
I've seen a lot of people get worked up because they wake up with bites and they actually never have bed bugs!
Although this method is by no means full-proof, it's the first thing you should look for. Like most other animals, bed bugs also leave feces, which may appear as small dark brown or reddish dots or streaks on your mattress or sheets. These stains are best detected if you use white mattress covers and white sheets and pillow covers. The downside is that a small infestation may not leave any stains, and even if they do, they can be hard to find, since they're often located in crevices.
However, this is a great bed bugs sign if you're staying at a hotel. So, when you get to your room at the hotel, leave your luggage outside or in the bathroom away from the bed, and then lift up the sheets carefully and look at the mattress and any blankets on the mattress (i.e., the things that don't get changed after each visitor). See if you spot any signs of bed bugs on the mattress corners and in the folds.
Bet you didn't know that there are actually dogs trained for much of their lives to sniff out bed bugs and bed bug eggs huh? Although much more expensive than the other methods, this is the most accurate way to detect bed bugs, since the dogs are typically up 95% accurate, and it takes less than 10 minutes per room. One potential downside to using sniffer dogs is that the companies offering these services are often connected to extermination services. In such cases, many people suspect that the companies report instances of bed bugs just get you to engage their extermination services.
However, if you really want to make sure you have bed bugs, then this is a quick and easy way.
The last sign of bed bugs is actually to see bed bugs. As I explained at the beginning of this article, it's actually quite tough to see bed bugs with the naked eye scanning around your room as they're so small. However, you can set traps to catch them so that you know for certain that you have a bed bug infestation at home.
So, below are 3 traps you can set to catch bed bugs:
This method involves placing double-sided tape around your mattress, box springs, and bed frame, as well as other furniture that you think might be infected. For example, if you have carpet, then you might want to place tape along the bottom of your walls, and if you have fabric sofas, then you might place tape around the legs of your sofa. Ideally, the tape will trap a few of the bed bugs so that you have proof.
Unfortunately, if you have very few bed bugs, it may require a lot of luck for those few bed bugs to get stuck on the tape.
In addition, please don't think that this is a way of exterminating them, since bed bugs will lay eggs and new bed bugs will hatch even if you managed to catch all the existing ones on the tape.
Also note that because bed bugs are attracted to carbon dioxide, this method will not work for vacant rooms since the bed bugs will not move when the room isn't occupied.
This is a variation of the double-sided tape method. In this case, you can simply rub Vaseline around the legs of your bed (or bottom of wall or legs of sofa). Like tape, Vaseline traps the bed bugs. Remember where you put the Vaseline and check the Vaseline regularly for any bugs that may be stuck in it. Wipe off and reapply the Vaseline every week as the Vaseline will gather dust and make it harder to see any small bugs that might be stuck to it. Disadvantages to this method include being messy (of course) and the risk of small children and pets ingesting it, so it's best to use one of the other 3 methods if you have small children or pets.
This is a simple plastic device that you can buy that attaches to your bed legs to catch any bed bugs that are climbing in or out of your bed. The bed bug will get trapped in the middle of the device so you can just inspect the device every few days to check. This is a pretty simple method.
Bed bug monitors are one of the more recent inventions for detecting bed bugs. Typically, these monitors will emit small amounts of carbon dioxide (to simulate human breathing), which then attracts bed bugs to a contraption that catches and/or kills the bed bugs. Unlike the other three methods described above, monitors actually function better in unoccupied rooms, since they don't have to compete with carbon dioxide emissions from humans. The disadvantage is that bed bugs will often continue to target humans even if there is a monitor present since humans emit more carbon dioxide than the monitors.
So, those are several signs of bed bugs that you can use to determine whether you have a bed bug infestation or not. It's always good to be vigilant to prevent any infestation from growing. If you do find that you have bed bugs, then please head over to our "How To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs" page to see our recommendations for the most effective solutions at eliminating your bed bug problem.

"Bridging Gowanus" Community Planning Process Moves Into Next Phase
"Bridging Gowanus" Community Planning Process Moves Into Next Phase
New website at BridgingGowanus.com, online survey, open houses invite residents to update and prioritize recommendations for a sustainable, livable, inclusive future for the Gowanus area
NYC Department of City Planning to begin working with community on planning and land use framework this Fall
Brooklyn, NY –The next phase in the Bridging Gowanus community planning process launched today, providing new ways for community members to prioritize recommendations that were developed over 20 public meetings (including ideas for public investments, land use regulations, zoning designations, and programs). First convened in August 2013, Bridging Gowanus is a community planning process to shape a sustainable, livable, and inclusive future for the Gowanus neighborhood – in the face of ongoing change, the Superfund cleanup, and real estate pressure.
The recommendations were developed between 2013 and 2015, during which time more than 300 stakeholders (including long-time and newer homeowners, tenants, and NYCHA residents, small business owners, environmental activists, artists, affordable housing advocates, and more) convened across a series of large- and small-groups meetings to identify broadly-shared goals, discuss diverse viewpoints, and build consensus around a planning framework for the area around the Gowanus Canal. The framework and recommendations were adopted by Brooklyn Community Board 6 in August 2015. Those recommendations are organized into six categories:
- A Sustainable, Resilient, Environmentally Healthy Community
- Invest in Our Parks, Schools, Transit, and Waterfront
- Strengthen the Manufacturing Sector and Create Good Jobs
- Keep Gowanus Creative and Mixed-Use
- Preserve and Create Affordable Housing for an Inclusive Community
- Secure a Pathway for Responsible Growth
Through a new website at BridgingGowanus.org, an online survey, and several open houses this summer, residents are invited to review, prioritize, and update the Bridging Gowanus recommendations.
Starting in the fall, the community will begin working with the NYC Department of City Planning and other government agencies to develop a planning and land-use framework for the Gowanus neighborhood. The process will be one of City Planning's "PLACES" (Planning for Livability, Affordability, Community, Economy Opportunity, and Stability) studies.
"It's not easy for a community to plan for the future amidst change. But the need and the opportunity are clear. That's why hundreds of people took part in the first phases of Bridging Gowanus, and why we look forward to even more involvement now. By creating space to listen to our neighbors' ideas, Bridging Gowanus has genuinely helped to build bridges, and resulted in a planning framework that is reflective of the diverse community that values and cherishes the Gowanus," said Council Member Brad Lander. "Getting Gowanus right will take a different way of doing things. So I appreciate that the de Blasio Administration is committed to working with our community from the beginning – and has already set in motion new industrial policy, investments in school seats and infrastructure, and mandatory inclusionary housing which lay a foundation for more inclusive growth. I encourage everyone in the Gowanus community to meet us at our open houses this summer, take the online survey to understand and prioritize the recommendations, and to join us in this important conversation. Working together, we can insure a sustainable, mixed-use, creative, and inclusive future for Gowanus."
"We look forward to building upon the important work undertaken by the community in Bridging Gowanus and thank Councilmembers Lander and Levin for their leadership in promoting an inclusive and open planning process. We are enthusiastic about working with them and the community to create a thriving neighborhood where an appropriate mix of uses supports an economically diverse population, offering cultural and economic opportunities for all," said Carl Weisbrod, Director of the Department of City Planning.
Online survey: The new website, BridgingGowanus.org, encourages community members to complete an online survey to help prioritize recommendations. The survey is seven pages long, with each page focused on one of the overarching goals identified in the initial phase of the Bridging Gowanus process.
Open houses: Community members will have an opportunity to further engage with the Bridging Gowanus recommendations at a series of open house events this summer, or visit on their own during drop-in hours. Below is a list of dates and times.
- Open House: Tuesday August 9th, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, The Bell House (149 7th Street, must be age 21+)
- Drop-In Hours: Thursday August 18th through Friday August 19th, noon to 6:00 pm, Fifth Avenue Committee (621 Degraw Street)
- Open House: Friday August 19th, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, Fifth Avenue Committee's Annual Summer Party (621 Degraw Street)
- Open House: Monday August 22nd, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, Coworkrs Gowanus (68 3rd Street)
- Drop-In Hours: Tuesday August 23rd through Friday August 26th, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Coworkrs Gowanus (68 3rd Street)
- Open House: Thursday September 8th, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, The Hall of the Gowanus (543 Union Street, down the alley on Nevins Street)
- Drop-In Hours: Tuesday September 6th through Friday September 9th, noon to 6:00 pm, The Hall of the Gowanus (543 Union Street, down the alley on Nevins Street)
The complete Bridging Gowanus report is available at www.report.BridgingGowanus.org.
Materials from the public meetings are available at www.archive.BridgingGowanus.org. The new website was created with support from the Neighborhoods First Fund and Hester Street Collaborative.
Since it was adopted by Brooklyn Community Board 6 in 2015, several of the recommendations of "Bridging Gowanus" have already moved forward:
- Significant progress has been made toward the Canal's Superfund clean-up (through the ongoing work of the EPA), land and water quality improvements, green infrastructure construction, and construction of high level storm sewers.
- Bridging Gowanus called for stronger protections for the Gowanus Industrial Business Zone (IBZ), to prevent it from being overwhelmed by hotels, self-storage, and other uses that can out-price manufacturing. As part of NYC's Industrial Action Plan, the City is moving forward with a ULURP action that will limit right hotels and mini-storage facilities in IBZs.
- The City's new Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) policy requires the inclusion of affordable units where zoning is changed to allow additional residential development.
- The NYC School Construction Authority has begun work on more than 600 new school seats in the Gowanus area, including a 436-seat annex at PS 32 (located at Hoyt Street and Union Street), and a new 180-seat pre-K center on 9th Street, between 3rd and 4th Avenues.
Elected officials, community organizations, and local leaders throughout Gowanus are committed to work for the implementation of these and the many other Bridging Gowanus recommendations, and expressed support for the Bridging Gowanus process, and the next phase of community input:
"As the Superfund process moves forward, the community's desires for Gowanus' future must be paramount," said Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez. "This will require a plan that promotes a mix of uses in the canal area, supporting local jobs, while being environmentally sustainable."
"Thanks to a series of community meetings and months of hard work, Bridging Gowanus sets out a clear vision for the future of our community," said Council Member Stephen Levin. "Together, we can determine the type of neighborhood we want to live in, and that our shared goals are reached. I want to thank everyone who has already participated in Bridging Gowanus for creating this vision of a more sustainable, equitable, and livable Gowanus, and I look forward to continuing to work together."
"The core values of Bridging Gowanus reflect the principles that have guided my time in office," said Council Member Carlos Menchaca. "The intensive community process that resulted in the Bridging Gowanus recommendations demonstrates a commitment to the betterment of this community, and is a model for how interested residents, local organizations, and government can intersect to address a diverse range of needs. The Gowanus presents a unique set of land use challenges. Bridging Gowanus shows that we can simultaneously improve our environment, support manufacturing jobs, and develop affordable housing."
"I appreciate the efforts Councilman Lander has put forward in making sure the residents of the Gowanus area can have a voice in helping shape the future of their neighborhood, said State Senator Velmanette Montgomery. "I am also grateful to those who have participated in the planning process and shared their input to help preserve the quality of life in the community they are proud to call home."
"When it comes to Gowanus, the best thing we can do is to plan, and plan together so that we have the neighborhoods we want, the jobs we need, and can bring that together in a cohesive, balanced and sustainable way that is respectful of our neighborhoods and supports our local businesses," said Assembly Member Jo Anne Simon.
"Brooklyn Community Board 6 is so pleased to see the roll-out of the next phase of Bridging Gowanus," said Sayar Lonial, Chair of Brooklyn Community Board 6. "This community driven process led by New York City Council Member Brad Lander and Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez is a prime example of how community and government can work together to build stronger neighborhoods and communities."
"Bridging Gowanus built a strong set of shared community priorities about Gowanus use, character, access and infrastructure, that have helped energize and coordinate the conversations between the diverse organizations and agencies at work in our neighborhood," said Andrea Parker, Executive Director of the Gowanus Canal Conservancy. "As a community-based process, Bridging Gowanus reflects our values as an organization, as we believe that decisions about the health and future of the neighborhood should be driven from the ground up. Gowanus Canal Conservancy has been able to build on the Gowanus Greenscape recommendations with a community-based design visioning for this emerging network of public spaces."
"The Gowanus Alliance has appreciated this effort to get ahead of the issues affecting Gowanus. Bridging Gowanus' work on developing a framework for our city to better address the priorities needed to secure a future for manufacturers in Gowanus was very productive. Keeping manufacturing productive is critical to our city's job base," said Paul Basile, President of the Gowanus Alliance and local business-owner. "We were happy to participate in this process knowing that the tools needed to help our community move forward were well represented and well received by everyone involved. We must be sure that our manufacturing properties are not left behind and that this work will lead to a comprehensive look at Gowanus. The efforts of Bridging Gowanus will lead to a progressive plan that benefits all of Gowanus, and we look forward to continue building that bridge."
"I feel incredibly lucky that here in Gowanus we have elected officials working side-by-side with residents to wrestle with these big questions about the future of Gowanus," said Abby Subak, Executive Director of Arts Gowanus. "This Bridging Gowanus process has made me hopeful that we, as the current community, can help shape what we want our community to become. Many of us love it the way it is, and wish it wouldn't change at all, but that is not the way New York City works. Here, we want to engage these questions and proactively create a community that will continue to be a vibrant creative community, even as it evolves."
"The Gowanus community is an incredibly diverse and unique community that, until recently, has been largely a hidden gem in Brooklyn and home to a broad range of families and businesses, including thousands of public housing residents, and hundreds of manufacturing businesses and artists," said Michelle de la Uz, Executive Director of the Fifth Avenue Committee. "Thanks to the leadership of our local elected officials, local residents and businesses, the Bridging Gowanus process successfully engaged a number of diverse stakeholders to articulate what we value most about this community and what is important to us as we look beyond our soon to be remedied environmental challenges to the community's future. Fifth Avenue Committee is grateful that there is additional opportunity to reach out, refine and build upon the Bridging Gowanus community priorities to inform public policy recommendations that will soon be turned into action."
"As owner of a third generation family-owned business in Gowanus, it is important to us that small businesses and most importantly the employees that work for these businesses have a voice in their future," said Stephen Giumenta, owner of Architectural Grille. "Bridging Gowanus has made that possible through a series of meetings and open lines of communication. The efforts of this process have brought to light the fact that people still need a place to work, and that the manufacturing sections of Gowanus cannot be wiped out, because in doing so we lose out on current jobs, job creation, and business growth, all of which are keys to getting our economy back on track. As a small business owner, I look forward to continuing this work, and putting the Bridging Gowanus goals into action."
"SBIDC participated in the process from the beginning and experienced firsthand the great efforts to continually and effectively engage a diverse set of stakeholders including small business of all types in meaningful discussions throughout the process, said David Meade, Executive Director of Southwest Brooklyn Industrial Development Corporation. "The Bridging Gowanus draft planning framework successfully unites the results of the process incorporating the greater community's current ideas with those that were generated as a result of previous plans. SBIDC supports the framework's many tenets, namely the importance of strengthening the small business and manufacturing community. SBIDC is dedicated to the forward momentum of Bridging Gowanus so that both the community-driven process and framework truly stake a claim for the future of the Gowanus. We look forward to continuing this work going forward, and putting the Bridging Gowanus work into action."
"The Bridging Gowanus framework provides an incredibly important proactive articulation of the community's concerns, priorities, and values in light of the changes that are sure to accompany a clean and revitalized canal," said Josh Skaller, Democratic District Leader for the 52nd Assembly District. "I believe that to meet the core values of our community - preserving the essential character and role of Gowanus, safeguarding people from environmental and rising sea levels, envisioning an inclusive future - this document is an important step in avoiding the poorly planned and often rapacious development typical of our city."
"We have an urgent need for an expansive, strong and green economy, as well as more truly affordable housing. Bridging Gowanus allows us to work as a community to reach those goals in the best, and most democratic way, possible. I am excited to be part of the process," said Mike Racioppo, Vice Chair of Brooklyn Community Board 6 and Executive Director of the Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation.
"I am proud to again join with my neighbors in an ongoing Bridging Gowanus discussion that provides a vital local prospective on how best to grow our City within the framework of our desire for an affordable, and livable community with access to good jobs. Bridging Gowanus remains this community's most effective means of seeing these concerns together with our environmental, and infrastructure needs melded with our City's programs to address its affordable housing crisis," said Mark Shames, Chair of Brooklyn Community Board 6 Environmental Protection Committee and its representative to the EPA Gowanus Community Advisory Group (CAG).
"Bridging Gowanus represents an incredibly important first step toward a new zoning paradigm, one in which industry and the arts can co-exist with new housing over the long haul," said Paul Parkhill, Executive Director of Spaceworks NYC. "I am excited about the plans potential not just for Gowanus but for mixed-use neighborhoods throughout New York City."
"The Brooklyn Chamber has been fully supportive of the collaborative planning effort known as Bridging Gowanus," said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. "Through Bridging Gowanus, important community stakeholders were given a seat at the table in order to shape the future of and institute a long-term vision for Gowanus. The proposed community goals strongly reflect the needs of both residents and businesses in the area, and will ensure the sustainable growth of the neighborhood for years to come. We commend the elected officials - particularly Council Member Brad Lander - for involving the various Gowanus community groups in leading this important initiative, and look forward to having the Bridging Gowanus framework put into action."
"Bridging Gowanus continues to be a critically important planning initiative to engage all constituents in the Gowanus community. The challenges are extensive: polluted sites that are legacies of 19th and 20th century industry, development pressures, rising sea levels, and a long term clean up of the canal. Remarkably, the community has embraced these as opportunities to create a vibrant and diverse neighborhood. Building consensus, respecting other viewpoints, and working collaboratively are not always easy, but they are the hallmarks of Bridging Gowanus and will help us realize a sustainable model for 21st century urban centers," said David Briggs, Executive Director of Gowanus by Design.
"Gowanus is one of New York's last neighborhoods to still maintain a balanced mix of residential, small manufacturing, artists, musicians, and small business owners—both new and old—respectfully working and living together as one community," said Ute Zimmermann and Joel Beck, co-founders of Gowanus Souvenir Shop. "This fragile ecosystem is in the process of being destroyed by large scale development, which has little interest in preserving the area's original charm and diverse substance. But Gowanus is fortunate to consist of an exceptionally resilient, outspoken and dedicated community willing to put up a fight. This includes our progressive city officials who are working with the community side by side. The Bridging Gowanus Framework is proof, and we all are ready to make the Framework come to life and take action to stop Gowanus from becoming yet another overpriced, charmless neighborhood of uniformity and conventionality. Gowanus is at a crossroads: It can either become a city- and nationwide model of fighting back against irresponsible large scale development and continue to thrive; or it can become the latest casualty of New York City's inability to define itself as a city with values and citizens worth defending."
"It's been exciting to see Bridging Gowanus take shape and engage the community. I'm looking forward to the next few months, as the process gains momentum and more voices are heard. It's great to be part of actively building a neighborhood vision that includes all of us—neighbors, artists, small businesses. We all love our neighborhood, and Bridging Gowanus is giving us a way to put that love to good use," said Esther Robinson, Gowanus Resident, Artist, and Co-Executive Director of ArtBuilt NYC/ArtHome.
"Gowanus has historically been a community of makers – both industrialists and artists. Bridging Gowanus is an essential means of engaging the community to ensure that the elements that have made Gowanus such a compelling neighborhood continue to exist," said Kim Maier, Executive Director of the Old Stone House.
"As director of the Arts & Democracy Project, which engages the power of arts and culture to increase people's ability to participate in community decision-making, and co-director of Naturally Occurring Cultural Districts NY, a citywide coalition working to revitalize NYC from the neighborhood up, I was glad to participate in the proactive Bridging Gowanus planning process," said Caron Atlas, Director the Arts & Democracy Project and NOCD-NY. "I very much appreciated how it valued equity, shared knowledge, and recognized how community-based arts and culture are an integral, and interconnected, part of Gowanus."
Sasha Chavchavdze, local artist said, "The Bridging Gowanus process is commendable for its inclusive effort to reach out to the Gowanus community. The draft framework's focus on ensuring that the Gowanus community is nurtured and protected as the area undergoes profound changes is impressive and heartening.I hope the city will listen closely and respectfully to the needs and voices expressed through Bridging Gowanus as they make changes that will impact our community."
"Crossing Gowanus bridges has often meant looking at stagnation – polluted waters and abandoned landscapes. A healthy dialogue about what should stay and what should go is something the community needed," said Eymund Diegel, local resident and planner. "I welcomed this opportunity to meet neighbors at this critical turning point, and hear what they had to say, including the point that you can't script democracy. Bridging Gowanus has been an opportunity to bring fresh ideas forward, and to challenge each other on how we can embrace the future without losing our rich industrial and natural heritage."

A 50-year-old woman charged in the drug overdose death of a 21-year-old man found in her bed was well known to Arapahoe County law enforcement officials.
But despite five years of investigation into three previous overdose deaths — one of them also at the Centennial home of Almeda "Ally" Sullivan — no murder charges were filed against her until this week. In fact, the statute of limitations means prosecutors have few options in the three previous deaths.
Options they say they likely will not seek.
The first three overdose deaths connected to Sullivan, a former teacher's aide in Cherry Creek School District, provide the basis for the first-degree murder charge filed Monday in the 2011 death of Carter Higdon, according to the 31-page arrest affidavit.
During their investigation of the first three deaths, investigators found that Sullivan not only sold more than 20,000 pills but also taught young adults how to grind and snort the narcotics to defeat the drugs' time-release element and cause them to become immediately intoxicating, according to the affidavit. On a number of occasions Sullivan shoved pills into the mouths of people who were too high to stand, the affidavit said.
One woman told detectives she had about 50 overdoses at Sullivan's home.
A gag order was issued in the case Tuesday afternoon, meaning officials were unable to discuss details. Friends and family members did not return phone calls from The Denver Post.
In January 2008, Sierra Renee Cochran, 19, died at Sullivan's home after she overdosed on Opana, a narcotic painkiller similar to oxycodone. Two others, Lindsey Jo Saidy, 28, and Martynas "Tez" Simanskas, 20, died on Oct. 12, 2008, after overdosing on prescription medications.
All three had connections to Sullivan, who allegedly sold them Opana pills. All four victims had Opana in their systems when they died, according to coroner reports.
On Oct. 1, 2011, Higdon and Sullivan stayed up talking until 3 a.m. until Higdon fell asleep on Sullivan's bed, according to the affidavit. Later that morning Sullivan saw Higdon sleeping and left him alone for five hours until she noticed that he was not moving, felt cold and had foam around his mouth.
Sullivan brought a friend into the basement to check on Higdon and later called his mother. She called 911 almost half an hour later.
According to the affidavit, dispatchers who received the 911 call heard Sullivan say "I didn't give him anything."
Sullivan's involvement with the first three deaths, and the fact that she waited to call for help, form the basis for the first-degree murder charge, according to the affidavit.
"Easier burden"
Of the three first-degree murder charges available to prosecutors in Colorado, extreme indifference is typically the easiest to prove, said Denver defense attorney Peter Hedeen. The charge requires prosecutors to show Sullivan knew what she was doing, was dangerous and remained indifferent, but they are not required to prove Sullivan intended to kill Higdon.
"It's easier for prosecutors to show extreme indifference because it's an easier burden," Hedeen said. "Intent talks about getting into someone's mind. Extreme indifference shows that they didn't care, but anyone would know that would be the result of those actions."
Still, Hedeen, who is not involved in Sullivan's case, said it will be difficult to prove the one charge as Higdon and the other three victims voluntarily used the drugs.
Detectives spoke to 17 people who knew Sullivan was selling drugs. Many of them said they bought drugs from her.
Several witnesses told detectives Sullivan sold drugs to students at Cherry Creek High School, according to the affidavit.
Some customers were classmates of her children at other schools, according to the affidavit.
Sullivan was employed in the Cherry Creek school district's transportation department from September 2003 to May 2004 and was a teacher's aide at West Middle School from December 2004 to May 2005. None of the victims attended West Middle School or Cherry Creek High School, said district spokeswoman Tustin Amole.
Sullivan has a history of drug charges stemming back to a 2005 conviction. She has been arrested several times since on suspicion of drug charges, and those cases are ongoing.
All four death investigations involving Sullivan were presented again to the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office this spring.
Prosecutors did not file murder or drug charges in the 2008 deaths, and the expiration of the statute of limitations in those cases means that murder charges would be the only option available to prosecutors.
A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office said before the gag order was issued that it is unlikely that Sullivan will now be charged in those cases.

Having this sunshade in the car is a great thing. It really does help keep the temp way down - a must in Middle GA! I find that if I park facing the sun it works best, which just makes sense. Having a black leather interior means a very hot car after sitting in the sun all day. With this shade, my car stays much cooler, especially if I hit the remote start and let the AC kick in while I'm walking through the parking lot!

text: NOT ALL READING problems are caused by poor teaching, a culturally poor environment, lousy parents or a lack of get-up-and-go. That's the conclusion of a three-year study of identical and fraternal twins at the University of Colorado. The study found that 5 percent to 10 percent of reading difficulties may have a genetic base. The results indicate that there is no easy remedy for reading or spelling problems or general IQ because of the enormous variability in each individual's genetic inheritance, said Sadie Decker, a university learning specialist.
