Blood Council: no caster tank?
Most strats for the Blood Council suggest using a caster tank on Prince Keleseth. We tried this out with our warlock for many attempts, using three healers (one assigned to each tank), with me as the mobile resto druid chasing our noble warlock all over the room as he tanked Keleseth and attempted to round up the shadow orbs. Most of our wipes were from him dieing: it was very difficult to keep him topped off all the time even with his 29k health, and sometimes he'd just get one-shot.
It was suggested that we try having someone with a higher health pool tank the prince, and see if we can handle having 3 melee tanks.
So it was that our feral druid with 55k health in bear stepped up to the plate to tank Keleseth, and within two attempts, the Council was down. Caster tank? Didn't work for us. Bear tank instead? I chased Mr. Scythe-bear up and down and all over the room, him calling out to me when he was going up on the platform or having to go really far so I could anticipate and chase after him through a maze of fellow raiders (gotta stay spread out), fireballs, sparks, and mess. And it worked. He took some big hits, but with that health pool and his survival instincts/barkskin, he was able to stay alive.
Edit: looks like the bear-strat worked out for Virile at Rejuvo, too!

Of our two groups we used a Feral for one group and a DK for the other group, and they both worked well.
We will probably not be using a caster tank in the 25s after what we learned in the 10s last night.

This is great advice. My guild has a good feral tank, but our ranged caster tank options are lacking.
- January 20, 2010 at 3:34 PM
One of the problems my guild noticed is that Keleseth will slap our warlock in the face for 50k if he gets too close. Warn your warlocks! Keep your distance :)
- January 20, 2010 at 6:54 PM
For what it's worth, Kae, we used a DK on Keleseth tonight in the 25 man as well and it worked out just fine :)

I actually imagine a DK is the optimal choice for the role to be honest due to a higher degree of ranged abilities. Vortex's resident DK is more of the DPS variety, so we made due with a feral instead.
High health seems to be the major key in being able to reliably survive on Keleseth though, which (unfortunately) favours a traditional tank using ranged abilities over an actual ranged tank. I don't imagine that was Blizzard's intention, but it is what it is.

Kitarha (the DK) had offered to tank it; the feral was chosen just because of higher health pool since we didn't know what to expect when we swapped from the warlock. For a long while Kit's offspec was a pvp build since we needed the ice-block-nova-thingy for faction champs, but he has since gone back to a tank offspec :)

Oh, I think you mis-understood my comment!
I was just indicating that in the 25's we opted to use a physical tank as opposed to a "caster" tank as well. I wasn't trying to imply that a DK would do a better job than a feral druid! Just confirming that a "caster tank" is in fact not needed in any variation of this encounter :)
- January 21, 2010 at 10:29 AM
As The warrior tank for Kae I'm just sad Spell Reflect doesn't work on most bosses.... though Tanking Valanar was nice. Charging in after a pushback is nice,
- January 21, 2010 at 1:57 PM
Thanks for the tip! We switched from a caster tank to a feral and got them very next try!

Following up Merck's doctor-payment disclosures, Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline posted their numbers. And perhaps befitting to the world's largest drugmaker, Pfizer spent the most: $177 million was doled out to doctors in support for clinical trials and speaking fees. GSK's payments were slightly less than half that, at a total of $85 million for trials and speaking.
For Pfizer, the lion's share went to research; $108 million of its total spending supported clinical trials and related work. A chunk of the rest went to doctors for speaking on behalf of the company. Some 4,600 physicians collected a total of $34.4 million, or $7,400 on average. Then there was $18 million in free meals, $8.9 million in advisory fees (paid to 1,400 doctors), $5.8 million for travel, and $1.7 million for education.

Peary Arctic Expedition
After several failed attempts, 23 years of effort, and a lifetime of obsession with the Arctic, Admiral Robert Peary led in April 1909 what was then believed to be the first successful expedition to the North Pole. His stalwart crew, pictured here, included Inuits Ooqeah, Ootah, Egingwah, and Seeglo and fellow American Matthew Henson. Later studies claimed that Peary was actually 30 to 60 miles (50 to 100 kilometers) short of the Pole.

"Danger, the emergency destruct sequence has now been activated. The ship will self-destruct in t-minus, ten minutes. The option to override automatic detonation will expire in t-minus, five minutes..." — Mother, "Alien" (1979)
Have you ever felt like Ripley — Sigourney Weaver — at the end of Alien? After the monster has wiped out all of her fellow crew members, she decides to kill it by blowing up her spaceship, the Nostromo. She sets the ship's self-destruct mechanism and races for the escape shuttle — only to find the alien now blocking her way.
The next few minutes are a hair-raising race against time. As Ripley barrels back through the long corridors of the space ship, "Mother," the voice of the ship's computer, ominously counts down the time left until everything will go kaboom in a blinding, space-bending explosion.
The stock market feels a little like this. The higher it goes, the more euphoric the cheerleading, the more the airheaded Gamma-class humans put on the happy face and hum their way to work, the more terrifying it becomes for anyone who actually bothers thinking. (Luckily, this excludes most of Wall Street). At best we feel like Jones, the ship's cat, getting banged around in a portable cage.
I hate to state the obvious, but stocks are just a claim on companies' future dividends. That's it. By definition, the higher they rise in price, the worse a deal they are. (I am amazed this is ever a subject of debate, as it is a tautology). Mom and Pop, with an instinct for self-preservation which suggests human beings are descended from the lemmings, usually pile on board at the peak.
Is it happening again?
Last week I got an email from Jeff Seymour, a former engineer turned money manager.
For the last seven years he's been studying the math behind a stock market crash. (There's more to it than that, but that's the elevator summary). He figured that if you looked at the right indicators, you ought to have a good chance of knowing what was coming. You should, at least, get an edge.
What were the indicators which were flashing red in 1999-2000, just before the collapse, he wondered? What were they showing in 2006-7?
Seymour's conclusion: There are nine indicators you need to watch. Just nine.
They range from the Volatility Index or "VIX," a measure in the options market, to the Weekly Leading Index (WLI) of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI), to the amount of stock that insiders are dumping on the market.
He put them all together in a doomsday machine he calls "the Greedometer." It tells you just how dangerously complacent and carefree the market has become at any moment. See the Greedometer.
These Greedometer indicators flashed red in early September 2000. If you read the signs — as some of my wiser sources did — you got out before the crash and saved half your money.
They flashed red again in May of 2007. And, again, if your read the signs you got out before the big collapse.
They flashed red again in April 2011, just before the market fell another 20%.
Let's cut to the case. The Greedometer is flashing red again.
Bright red. Last week it was up to 7900. The maximum possible reading is 8000.
What's that, Mother?
"Danger. The ship will self-destruct in..."
The VIX is down. Insider selling is up. Advisers are bullish. Margin debt — the amount investors are borrowing to buy stocks — is nearing the all-time, 2007 peak. And the economy is weakening.
In total, says Seymour, people are now even more greedy, complacent and euphoric and over the top for stocks than they were in 2007. "Stock markets die of euphoria," he says. "These are the signals you look for."
Any individual measure can give a false reading. Throw nine of them together, he argues, and it's a different story. Since 1999 these nine indicators have given no false alarms, and missed no warnings.
(It's worth adding that the Greedometer isn't a one-way indicator either. It flashed bright green in 2002-3 and 2008-9, telling you it was a great time to buy stocks. And so it proved.)
OK, so data from 1999 to 2013 is just a brief period of time. I'm not an engineer by education, but a historian. I take the long view.
But the Greedometer's latest warning isn't in isolation. I notice that all sorts of alarming bull market signals are flashing ominous warnings. Small-caps hit record highs recently. Mom and Pop are jumping into the market. And every time I run a stock screen of the market, I can't find any good value stocks. It's tough. Everything is up.
Meanwhile, everyone I know who predicted the last two crashes is really bearish, and all the bulls are ignoring them (again). This includes the good folks at GMO, a fund shop in Boston, Rob Arnott at Research Affiliates, and John Hussman of the Hussman Funds, who calls the current environment one of the worst in history in which to invest.
Yes, they've been gloomy for a while. But so what? The only reason this market's been booming has been because Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi have been pumping the world economy with as much free money as it will hold.
Last week, Federal Reserve minutes were published showing growing concern on the Open Market Committee about the free money policy. Some members of the committee wondered aloud if all this free money might be causing a bubble in financial assets and too much risk taking.
Gee, you think?
Unlike Alien, we don't get a countdown and we don't know when this will end, or even how. But it's enough to be alarmed.

Washington, D.C., October 7, 2005 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) today announced a one-year waiver of certain system fees paid by investment advisers and all investment adviser representatives for registration in the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD) program. Separately, NASAA also announced that it is reducing by 30 percent system fees paid by state-regulated investment advisers on an on-going basis.
The IARD system is an Internet-based national database sponsored by NASAA and the SEC and operated by NASD in its role as a vendor. IARD provides a single nationwide database for the collection and dissemination of information about individuals and firms in the investment advisory field; and offers investment advisers and representatives a single source for filing state and federal registration and disclosures. IARD system fees are used for user and system support along with periodic enhancements to the system.
"Since its inception, the IARD system has exceeded expectations," said Patricia D. Struck, Wisconsin Securities Administrator and President of NASAA, the membership organization of securities administrators in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the provinces and territories of Canada, and Mexico. "The system provides streamlined registration procedures for investment advisers and their representatives, promotes consistency, and allows investors to research the employment and disciplinary histories of more than 21,000 investment adviser firms and eventually 200,000 individual investment adviser representatives. We are pleased that IARD's success has allowed us to grant a waiver and reduction in the system fees."
"This Internet resource has been invaluable to investors. It allows the investing public instant access, without additional charge, to information about their money managers. Now there is even better news: we can, for the next year at least, eliminate the annual adviser fees that go with it," said SEC Chairman Christopher Cox.
NASAA is waiving payment of IARD system renewal fees by state-regulated investment advisers and all investment adviser representatives. Currently, state-regulated investment adviser firms pay an annual system fee of $100 and individual representatives pay an annual system fee of $45. Struck also announced that the system fees paid by state-regulated investment advisers will be reduced by 30 percent to $70 on an on-going basis. Struck said NASAA's Board of Directors approved the waiver and system fee reduction and will continue to monitor the system's revenues to determine whether future fee adjustments are warranted.
The SEC has approved a waiver of IARD filing fees for all SEC-registered advisers with respect to Form ADV annual updating amendments filed from November 1, 2005 through October 31, 2006. Currently, SEC-registered adviser firms pay an annual IARD fee of $100, $400, or $550, depending on their assets under management. The SEC also announced that current projections of fee revenues and system expenses cause it to believe that a reduction in annual IARD filing fees will be necessary to more closely align those fees with the costs of filings. The SEC plans shortly to solicit public comment on potential IARD fee alternatives following the waiver period, including reductions in fees or an extension of the waiver.
Both SEC and NASAA observed that revenue from IARD system fees had exceeded original projections. Struck attributed the waiver and reduction in system fees primarily to the overwhelming support of the states in mandating the use of the system for registrants. More investment advisers and investment adviser representatives have registered through the system than originally anticipated, the regulators said. Numbers of SEC-registered advisers have also grown and many advisers have moved to higher fee categories because they have more assets under management.

Get ready for the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords to be used in a serious way against the Tea Party movement. MSNBC, CNN and the rest of the Mockingbird media are now attempting to portray millions of Americans as violence prone anti-government radicals.
In the hours following the shooting liberal bloggers blamed Sarah Palin's mid-term election rhetoric for the Gifford shooting. Palin's campaign organization, SarahPac, posted an ad targeting Democrat Giffords for defeat during the election. The liberal blogosphere is directly accusing Palin of stoking hatred against the Arizona Congresswoman that led to the shooting in a Tucson parking lot.
Daily Kos and FireDogLake have taken up the charge and are blaming Palin directly. Sarah Palin is not an anti-government radical – she is part of the establishment Republican party and to accuse her of calling for the assassination of Gifford is ludicrous.
The word "target" is a well established part of the Democrat-Republican political lexicon.
In a Tweet, suspected CIA operative Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos wrote sarcastically: "Mission accomplished, Sarah Palin."
Arizona Democrat Rep. Raul Grijalva denounced what he describes as a political environment poisoned by "anger, hatred, and division." Grijalva blamed the Tea Party movement: "[When] you stoke these flames, and you go to public meetings and you scream at the elected officials, you threaten them – you make us expendable you make us part of the cannon fodder. For a while, you've been feeding this hatred, this division… you feed it, you encourage it…. Something's going to happen. People are feeding this monster…. Some of the extreme right wing has made demonization of elected officials their priority."
In other words when citizens victimized by a predatory and arrogant government angrily confront their so-called representatives, it is tantamount of calling for violence and assassination.
"I think that Sarah has finally yelled fire in a crowded theatre," a post on the Firedoglake blog avers. "If they can show that this dipstick was in any way influenced by Palin's dog-whistle advocacy of violence, they need to drag her ass in for an arraignment."
"I know Sarah and the GOP spamming their mentally ill constituency that it is, 'OK to kill people if they don't share your beliefs' doesn't help the situation but it is really too early to say what the attacker's motives were," said another.
"This tragedy rests sorely on your doorstep Ms. Palin," blogger Bartholomew Hayes wrote. "Your irresponsible rhetoric has brought senseless violence against the American people."
All of this posturing is absurd. Sarah Palin is obviously a creation of the establishment. She was appointed the unofficial leader of the Tea Party movement after a large part of it was craftily transformed by operatives into a harmless cheerleading section for the Republican party. Palin's handlers made sure she publicly kissed the ring of top level Rockefeller minion and notorious unapprehended war criminal Henry Kissinger.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t

"A lot of people have bets on how long it will take before they blame this on the tea party and that's absolutely ridiculous," Debbie Dooley, a national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots, told Congress.org.
The Tea Party movement originally established by Libertarians and Ron Paul and subsequently co-opted and brought trance-like into the Republican party Borg hive is not a threat to the establishment.
The real Tea Party not co-opted by Republicans is the obvious target of what yet may turn out to be another staged event. Sarah Palin is the television reality show queen and propped up figurehead of an orchestrated movement funded in part by the CIA operative Richard Mellon Scaife.
The CIA has perfected the art of undermining and destroying indigneous political movements in opposition to the ruling elite and their power structures and institutions. The FBI's covert and illegal COINTELPRO operation took down countless political movements, most notably the anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960s. Fred Hampton and other Black Panthers were assassinated as part of the FBI's reign of terror.
"Regardless of why the shooting took place, there will be a lot of talk about violence in America in coming days," warns corporate behemoth Time Magazine.
In addition to further demonizing the Tea Party and other constitutionalist and patriotic movements, the brutal murder of innocents and the serious wounding of a Democrat Congress critter will be used to ramp up the statist argument that Congress needs to pass gun control legislation. The visage of Timothy McVeigh and homegrown terrorism will also get a new lease on life.
"Others on the left have taken it upon themselves to politicize this event by trying to paint it as an argument for stronger gun control laws," warns Solomon Kleinsmith. "This coming even as we know next to nothing about this Jared Lee Loughner character, where he got his weapon, or if there was any history of violent legal problems."
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect
For the elite, the problem is not violence. It is the existence of and threat posed by a viable and growing constitutionalist movement that demands the Federal Reserve be closed down and the banksters responsible for the unfolding global economic crisis be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity.
By the way, people who know what's coming are taking advantage of our healthy & delicious storable food!

WASHINGTON — If you were born in 1974, the year that Gerald Ford took office as America's first unelected president, his time in the White House isn't even a memory to you.
Even for people older than age 32, the headline events of the Ford era may now be only vague recollections.
Remember the Mayaguez? That was the American merchant ship captured by the Cambodian navy, prompting Ford to order an attack to retake it.
How about Sara Jane Moore? She was the woman who fired a shot from her .38-caliber revolver at the president in 1975 as he was leaving the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, missing him by five feet.
And do you remember Ford being the first president ever to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, where he got rough treatment from Democrats over his pardon of his disgraced predecessor, Richard Nixon?
None of that matters much now, except to historians.
A lasting effect
But one thing Ford did is making a profound difference in the lives of Americans living today. Measured by its lasting impact, Ford's most significant act as president was appointing John Paul Stevens to the Supreme Court.
Next week will mark the 31st anniversary of Stevens' taking his oath as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. Stevens has turned out to be one of the stalwart members of the court's liberal wing.
Thirty years after Ford left office, Americans are living under legal rules created by the Supreme Court, in many cases by 5-to-4 decisions with Stevens in the majority.
Among them:
- Stevens wrote the majority opinion in Kelo v. New London, the 2005 decision that held that local and state governments could condemn and acquire private property even when it was not to be used for a public purpose.
- He helped form the five-justice majority in another 2005 case, Roper v. Simmons, which held that convicted murderers who'd been under age 18 when they committed their crime could not get the death penalty.
- He joined a 2000 decision called Stenberg v. Carhart in which the court struck down a Nebraska law banning so-called "partial-birth" abortions.
As fate would have it, Jimmy Carter, who defeated Ford in the 1976 election, served a full four-year term as president and never got to appoint any justices.
Filling out Nixon's second term, Ford served for just two-and-a-half years and had the chance to name Stevens to the vacancy created by the resignation of Justice William O. Douglas in 1975.
Stevens was serving as a federal appeals court judge in Chicago at the time.
Delegating to Levi
The most far-reaching decision Ford made as president was to delegate the task of finding a new justice to his attorney general, Edward Levi.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
According to historian David O'Brien, Ford's "virtually complete reliance on Levi, more than any other factor, accounts for his final choice in filling the vacancy on the Court."
It was Ford's White House chief of staff, a former congressman from the Chicago suburbs named Donald Rumsfeld, who had suggested in December 1974 that Ford choose Levi, the president of the University of Chicago and former dean of its law school, as his attorney general.
Under Nixon, the Justice Department had become "heavily politicized," Ford later wrote. He said he wanted "someone nonpolitical" to serve as attorney general and Rumsfeld thought of Levi.
Luckily for Stevens, he and Levi were close friends. And Levi was seeking a competent and well-regarded mainstream judicial craftsman who could win approval from a Senate in which the Democrats had a 60-seat majority.
Other justices, such as Douglas and Felix Frankfurter, have gotten on the high court by being a friend of the president. Stevens was the friend of the man whom the president had given almost carte blanche authority to find a new justice.
"Even before he asked me to join the Chicago Law faculty on a part-time basis in the early 1950s, I had regarded Edward Levi as both friend and hero," Stevens said after Levi died six years ago.
The Chicago connection — Rumsfeld to Levi to Stevens — made all the difference, a difference that helped create the legal framework Americans live under today.

My evening in the emergency room (cuz I'm an idiot)...
Why was I at the emergency room? Well, it involved lube and my wedding ring...
A few weeks ago, I had a swollen knuckle and wound up changing my wedding ring to the other hand because it was too painful to take on and off. After a week or so, finger back to normal, wedding ring back on wedding ring finger, ooh blah dee, ooh blah dah, life goes on.
Thursday that knuckle was swollen a bit again, looking like I had hit it or jammed it in the door or something. Yes, again. What kind of idiot does that twice? My kind of idiot, apparently.
Yesterday it was sore, and then last night, when K's brother and sister-in-law were over for dinner, I could not get my ring off and my finger was really starting to ache. So later in the evening I asked for help to get my ring off my finger (hey, pull my finger...).
As none of my dinner companions is a medical doctor or a magical wizard, they had no further knowledge than I did, so we did what the medically curious have been doing since the dawn of time: googled "I cannot get my wedding band off". And got like 37 thousand hits, including lists, videos, Australian nurses, people disagreeing with each other, lots of information about weight gain during pregnancy, pictures of some pretty nasty jammed fingers, and some whackjob blaming the aliens.
The suggestions ranged from "pull harder" to having a surgeon cut the ring off, and hope to save your finger.
We tried moistening the ring and finger to slide it off, with soap, hand lotion, lube. We tried taping my fingers and cutting off circulation to make the finger and knuckle smaller. We tried some weird origami thing with dental floss to thread it off. That one took three people and hurt like hell. And didn't work.
After all this my knuckle was swollen like a painful pineapple. And I had gone from casually wondering what happened to freaking out that some third world medic was going to have to amputate my finger. And maybe a leg or two.
So off to the emergency room we went, at 10.30 on a Friday night.
First discovery -- "off to the emergency room" is easier said than done. We parked on the street near the well-lit main entrance, which was closed. Apparently it's a food court. We then wandered hospital building to hospital building until we found the non-lit emergency sign and went in.
No big line-up, then a friendly welcome by the triage nurse, then the slowest paperwork clerk ever, like Carol Burnett as Mrs. Wiggins only slower and not funny. We grew visibly older as she typed key by key by key. Aaaaargh!
After a quick five minutes in the waiting room, called in by cute gay doctor, who calls over other cute gay doctor, who examine my finger, warn me about the forthcoming pain, oil me up, and get to work. They slowly got it off. It hurt like hell. I was brave and solemn. Except for the whining, sweating, whimpering, and thinking I was gonna pass out. Yep, brave and solemn.
Their advice? The ring may be too small, and looks like I jammed or banged it pretty badly. So be less of a douche and start paying attention to what the hell I am doing with my finger...

So I guess now the joke around your house is "Pull my finger!"??
Glad you still have all your digits AND your ring.

garoting your fingers was not smart as it only engorged it further... if you were swollen, you should have put it on ice... i'm just saying. but funny story nonetheless. BTW: luv carol burnett!!
guess you'll be seeing your jeweller on monday to make it a tad bigger.
if you can't find the reason for the swelling, could it be arthrosis? i know personally, since i use some fingers more than others in my work, i get those swelling episodes, with the pain that comes with...

At least you got the cute gay doctors and not some old grump who gave you a lecture about misappropriate usage of your digits, so to speak ...
My mother swore by butter btw. ;-)
Hope your knuckle is ok though :) xx

I think the worst part of the story is that the doctors were hot. I HATE when I do some dumbass thing and end up with a hottie doc helping me. That damsel in distress thing doesn't work when you look like you have the IQ of eminem.

Glad you got the ring off and didn't lose the digit. Keep an eye on your fingers...and keep your fingers out of your eyes...guess that covers it :)
Ice and then oil would likely work (and a bigger ring).
Be well,

lube didn't work but the oil did? what? they've got magic oil or just more patience? you poor guy. lucky for you the doctor wasn't my uncle, cause the first thing he would have done was suggest amputation - just to freak you out.

A five-minute wait? Must have been an uncharacteristically slow night. Usually it's 3-4 hours. Don't ask me how I know!

My finger is on the road to recovery already, and yes all the agitation definitely made it worse. Guess I cannot leave things alone!
And we did get in and out of the hospital quite quickly, while there were other people waiting. We wondered why. Likely because they thought we were a quick fix. Or our big smiles and endless charm?

All the best stories start with "it involved lube and my wedding ring". I thought it was just me!
So glad it worked out. For the ring too!

That's so unfair. My trips to the Emergency Room never end with 5 minute waits, hot doctors or oils. Could have something to do with living in Kentucky? I hear banjoes.......

Why not simply leave the ring on?

Oh wow! That definitely had to be the shortest ER visit in the history of the world! Glad you were able to keep the finger!

"start paying attention to what the hell I am doing with my finger..."
famous last words. and so many possibilities with that one that I can't even begin.
also: this just goes to show that nothing good can come from getting married. and that's just logic.

Thanks Kelly!
And yes Roxy cute doctors (plural) and short visit. Plus driven to the hospital by my cute husband. And universal healthcare. So aside from the nasty finger incident, kind of a win?

WTF? You get two gay doctors for a finger! I went into the emrgency room in a wheelchair and do you think I could get one cute gay doctor? Well... maybe I did... but he wasn't female! Not fair! I mean... I'm sorry to hear about your finger. I'm glad you managed to get it off finally.

Okay I need to go to a Canadian hospital if you are serviced by cute gay doctors. I thought they were an urbane myth. Last time I was in I had the special ed doc who looked like he was the product of cousin loving and smelt faintly of old cigarettes and vomit. Mind you, there for a finger, a cute doc is fine. For things south of the boarder a cute doc is just awkward.
Hope the finger has healed up :)

Seems you made out pretty good but sorry about the finger pain! If it happens again...more bad advice your way...Windex works. I never knew that until I was in the mall trying on rings that apparently I had NO business trying on these fat digits. I went to the desk thinking I would have to purchase the damn thing stuck on my hand. The woman got out the windex and it slid off! As an EMT/Firefighter, we get a lot of "walk-ins" for ring removal. You were lucky. I usually go straight for the ring cutters because the finger is way too swollen to aggrivate it more.

As an American, the most amazing part of that story is....you only had to wait five minutes to see the doctor? Wow!!

funny but scary story. glad it all worked out. i have heard stranger wedding ring stories, like the one where he swallowed his ring.

Glad you got the ring off. I've gotten mine stuck a few times and you start to panic...not sure why?!
- August 31, 2010 at 8:42 AM
- Linda Medrano said...
Poor dear! Next time (if there is a next time), get the swollen bit on some ice and elevate it higher than your heart for about 15 minutes. That should reduce the swelling. And if not, go to the ER. Nope, I'm not a nurse, but I've had the same thing happen to me.
My regular doc is a cute gay man. We spend most of my examination time giggling over lube and stupidity!

I moved out on my own I was finally free.
I signed a lease and boom, my own pad, my own apartment. I was so excited to finally take on the responsibilities of being an independent man. First thing's first, a new T.V. I went to Best Buy, opened a credit line and got the biggest and baddest T.V. they had, well at that time, the Sony Wega. Lets get a virtual cinema surround sound system while I'm at it. I was a carpenter so I made a sweet set of custom maple speaker stands for the front left and right speakers. And let me tell you, that T.V. and surround sound system made movies alive!
I went out and got myself a little kitten. I couldn't have a dog there so I figured a cat would be comforting enough. I opened up multiple credit cards, bought myself a really nice laptop, got some furniture, got a new truck, a new motorcycle and a new girlfriend. Things were great, really great. I owned my own business at the time and was making a lot of money, had a great reputation and made a lot of new connections. I held parties all the time and had friends over a lot too.
A few years went by, things were going good. I was successful and busy. I had a lot of new 'friends'. I was really making a name for myself in the new town I was in. Until one day it hit me, like a ton of bricks… Oxycontin. Yes, the old school ones where you peel off the coating and go at it.
Someone had come over and introduced me to my new girlfriend, my new chemical romance. Now, I was drinking here and there, popping Valium and sniffing Ritalin, maybe some ecstasy once in a while, your typical weekend party moments. But nothing was more incredible and more euphoric than this form of oxycodone. I bumped a 10 mg line on my glass kitchen table and fell in love immediately. The sun came out in my living room. My smile went ear to ear. I leaned back and said to myself, "Why do I even go to the gym? This is great!"
I couldn't believe the rush of happiness and strength I got off that one little 10 mg pill! It lasted quite a few hours too. I was just in simple amazement by what I experienced. Well, obviously that connection hung around for a bit. I put everything else aside that I tried and focused on my new obsession. I started using Oxycontin just on the weekends for a few months, I honestly thought it was so good that I didn't want to waste it.
I noticed myself thinking about it during work. I also noticed how it freed me from stress and problems that were running through my mind. It took me away while still being here on earth, it helped me function better and perform better, so I thought. Things were still going great.
I started using during the week and I went up from 10 mg to 20 mg per bump. Cocaine came into the picture during the weekends too. I really didn't like the cocaine and noticed that I needed to take a couple of oxy's to counter the speeding rate of the coke. So I would do them after my bag ran out so I could sleep, after 12 hours of blowing cocaine up my nose, it was needed.
I would wake up pretty messed up, fighting with my girlfriend, getting in arguments with my friends. I was showing up to my jobs later and later. My landlord was getting complaints from my neighbors about me being too loud and saying weird things. I was like, whatever. It's normal, I'm a free man living the dream! Everything's gonnna be alright.
Well, I went from 10-20 mg a day to 40 mg. Then 40 mg to 80 mg. In just over a few months too. I had multiple connections. All my 'friends' were doing it too. Actually, just about everyone I knew was doing them. They were so easy to get and available 24-7.
Time goes by and my little mental vacation habit turned me into a full blown addict doing well over 1000 mg a day. I tried stopping in the early stages but nothing ever worked. I accepted myself as an addict too, I accepted myself as a junkie and justified my problem daily. I was railing two 80 mg Oxycontin for breakfast and an 80 every hour just to function. I was smoking cigarettes every 2 minutes too, close to 3 packs a day.
Now what I'm about to explain happened within the 3rd year of me abusing oxycodone. My entire run of being an addict lapsed 10 years, but the downward spiral started right around my 3rd year.
I started to not show up to work. I would take deposits on jobs and never show up on some of them. My girlfriend was fed up with me showing up late, lying and cheating, malnourished and unhygienic. Not being a good boyfriend at all so she left me. I would be late to any family gathering because I had to 'pick up' before I got there. Credit card statements and bills we not getting paid. I was getting threats of being kicked out of my apartment, I had 3 of my surrounding neighbors move within 6 months of each other due to my recklessness. Things were changing and I saw it, and not for the good either.
A few more years go by and I am stealing money from family members, stealing from stores, hustling anything I can to make a few bucks to go get high. I wasn't making the money I had because my reputation was getting destroyed so my daily intake of oxy's were dropping day by day and I was getting dope sick.
During this time of being dope sick, not showing up at work and hustling and thieving my way to get high, my truck got repossessed and I had to leave my home. I sold everything, my T.V., the surround sound, my lap top, my guitars, my couch, my motorcycles, my credit cards were maxed out by cash advances, I almost sold my cat… I became that guy that needed to 'borrow' money and things all the time. I bounced from home to home, even moved to the south for a year to get away and quickly realized that my problem followed me everywhere. I became homeless because my pride didn't want to fix anything. I didn't understand how to mend a bridge and didn't care.
At this time I'm having full blown panic attacks, insomnia, skeletal pain, bicycle legs, hot sweats, cold chills, nightmares for the 2 minutes I may have got from a nap, diarrhea, heart palpitations to name a few. The flu had nothing on what I was going through. This spiritual and physical pain I was going through was something I wouldn't want on my worst enemy.
Finally during my 10th year reign of self destruction, after losing everything that mattered to me and all my personal possessions, I became suicidal and did not want to live anymore. I was beyond depression and beyond mental illness. I was incredibly dope sick and needed out. Getting clean on my own was impossible and I knew it. I had no structure and not an ounce of effort to find any. My only hope was in a pill which I could no longer get.
I lost all my hope and all my faith.
I hit rock bottom.
I admitted myself into a 6 month rehab program at the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center.
I will have 5 years clean this November 11th 2016. Today I am grateful for everyone at rehab, church, friends and family who offered admonishment, support, encouragement and their time to help me.
I have learned so many things in Recovery and still do to this day. I learned that we are all human and that we all may fall. I also learned that I can not judge another person when they fall. I've learned to give back and to help others. I've learned that we are all in need of a Savior which we so constantly search for on a daily basis. I have learned that God puts us through things for reasons and that we all have a purpose. I have come to know Jesus Christ as my Savior and understand that my purpose here is much greater than what my mind could and will ever conceive. I have learned that this life is not about me, it's about others. It's about sending a message that our Creator, in whom we are to glorify, loves us unconditionally and all He wants is for us to surrender our ways and to live according to His Word.
God is very real, miracles happen every day. I lost it all and got so much more back from nothing.
To be at total peace and to live in His harmonious Grace is the most overwhelming gift one can ever use.
Become Free. Become the Difference.

ホーム > 作曲家 > 作曲家(クラシック) > マルコム・アーノルド (Malcolm Arnold)
Malcolm Arnold was born in 1921 in Northampton, where his father was a well-to-do shoe manufacturer. There was music in the family, both from his father and from his mother, a descendant of a former Master of the Chapel Royal. Instead of the usual period at a public school, he was educated privately at home. As a twelve-year-old he found a new interest in the trumpet and in jazz after hearing Louis Armstrong, and three years later he was able to study the instrument in London under Ernest Hall, subsequently winning a scholarship to the Royal College of Music, where his composition teacher was Gordon Jacob. Two years later he left the College to join the London Philharmonic Orchestra as second trumpet. Meanwhile he had won a composition prize for a one-movement string quartet. It was as an orchestral player that he was able to explore the wider orchestral repertoire, in particular the symphonies of Mahler.
Early in World War II Arnold was a conscientious objector, in common with a number of other leading musicians. He was allowed to continue his work as an orchestral player, taking the position of first trumpet in the London Philharmonic in 1943. In the same year, however, he volunteered for military service, but was discharged after shooting himself in the foot. Thereafter he played second trumpet to his teacher Ernest Hall in the BBC Symphony Orchestra, then rejoined the London Philharmonic, where he served as principal trumpet until 1948. During these years he continued to work as a composer, writing a series of successful orchestral compositions and a variety of chamber music.
After 1948 Malcolm Arnold was able to earn his living as a composer. In the 1960s he settled in Cornwall, where he became closely involved with the musical activities of the county. In 1972 he moved to Dublin, his home for the next five years, and then to Norfolk. Over the years his work was much in demand for film scores, of which he composed some eighty. He wrote concertos for an amazing variety of instruments, nine numbered symphonies, sinfoniettas, concert overtures and other orchestral works. His chamber music is equally varied, and there is a set of works for solo wind and other instruments, aptly meeting the demands of competitive and solo recital performance.
In style Malcolm Arnold had a command of popular idiom, and this may have suggested to some an unfavourable identification with the world of light music. He was, in fact, a composer of considerable stature, technically assured, fluent and prolific, providing music that gives pleasure, but also music that may have a more somber side, work that may be lyrical and tuneful, or even astringent and harsh in its revelations. Donald Mitchell has compared Arnold, illuminatingly, with Dickens, both of them great entertainers but both well aware of the human predicament, unsettlingly revealed, as he points out, in the remarkable series of symphonies. Malcolm Arnold passed away on 23 September 2006.

Founders Brewing opens doors to expansion
Founders Brewing Co. opened its new-look space on Monday — after a two week taproom closure and months of construction.
The expansion
The brewery substantially upgraded its taproom space, adding 40 percent more floor space, a larger porch and an outdoor beer garden with an outdoor bar.
The outdoor area has features to help it through at least three seasons, including gas heat and extensions for free-standing heaters, as well as two built-in fireplaces.
Founders kicked back to the original Brassworks Building location, with the original bar installed into a portion of the new space.
The deli has been upgraded with new menu items and 30 percent more space.
The company store also grew, in space and merchandise selection.
The brewery will finish up a new education, event rental space and offices in the near future.
Grand Rapids-based Founders Brewing employs 176 people, but another 10 could be hired to support the taproom expansion.
The expansions to the brewing facility that came before the taproom work give Founders the ability to produce nearly 320,000 barrels a year.
The brewery expects to brew about 125,000 barrels this year, up from 71,000 barrels last year.

"This is going to be one heck of a next four years of your life. Embrace everything that Lewis & Clark offers because it doesn't get any better than this."
So says Riley Mitchell BA '12 of his experience at Lewis & Clark. Here, current students and alumni give the inside scoop to future students.
"Ask around about all the great resources both on and off campus and try out drastically new things as you discover what you're most passionate about."
—Julia Huggins '13
"Do more. It'll always feel like you're stretched thin and barely keeping up, and if you ever feel like you can add one more thing, do it. There's never been anything here I've tried that I've regretted trying once!"
—Xander Blair '13
"Join a club, sport, or Associated Students of Lewis & Clark (ASLC). All are awesome and they will keep you sane if you start to become overwhelmed."
—Miles Paterson '13
"Be prepared for a challenge; not only in the classroom, but also in the way you think. Understand what you believe, why you believe it, and be prepared to defend it."
—Dexter Pearce '13
"Don't forget to study abroad."
—Justin Midyet '13
"Consider a double major. It's a lot of work, but it is worth it. I found my work in theatre and sociology/anthropology was constantly overlapping with one discipline informing the other and vice versa. Take advantage of it!"
—Usman Ally BA '04
"Make the most of your time at Lewis & Clark. This may be the last time in your life that you are surrounded by so many people (both students and faculty) that are talented in so many different fields."
—Matthew Rugamba '13

I found this photo of cute, little Avis Anderson at the Ramona Flea market in Jacksonville.The picture was taken in June of 1930 by photographer Louis Oliver of Providence, Rhode Island. According to the 1930 census she was seven years old when this photo was taken.
Louis was elected first vice-president of the Photographers' Association of New England.
The above article about him is from The Photographic Journal of America, Vol 57 at Google Books:.
Here is little Avis with her family in the 1930 Census:
1930; Census Place: Providence, Providence, Rhode Island; Roll 2178; Page: 13B
I just found her obituary and she has only been gone about a month.
Frank P. Trainor and Son Funeral Home
Avis M. Anderson
Birth date: January 13, 1923
Death date: February 13, 2010
Avis M. Anderson, 87, formerly of Cranston passed away Saturday at Cherry Hill Manor in Johnston.
Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late John A. and Mary (Wynkoop) Anderson. Avis was a registered nurse for over 30 years before rtiring from Rhode Island Hospital in 1972.
Her funeral and burial were held Wednesday at Sprig Vale Cemetery in Rumford.
Spring Vale Cemetery, Rumford
It looks as though she never married. I hope there is some family member out there who would appreciate this photo.
*Update - This lost family treasure has now been found!

Enough rambling.. I work in Dupont (19/M above Chipotle, look for the huge green tear drop on the side of the building) and live in Crystal City. When I first started this commute 3 weeks ago it was hell. The hills going up to bridges wore me out and I wondered why I had even decided to do this. (Why are there so many bridges! Not even just over water but over roads and train tracks and itty-bitty waterways!) But since then I've been enjoying it more and more, and keep trying to remember that at least I'm not in a car or on the metro.
Leaving the studio I work at is always interesting - it's on a busy corner of M St, right on 19th where you never know what to expect. Sometimes there are a ton of cars and people everywhere, other times there aren't. Luckily tonight was a lighter night so off I went. I always feel like I'm going to slow when I ride on the rode, especially the busy roads like M. Normally I ride down M to where it connects with Pennsylvania Ave to loop onto the Rock Creak Park Trail. It's kind of a pain to get on the trail, the tight turns, all the people walking, all the cars. I can't wait until they get the M and L cycle-tracks/lanes in.
Riding the Rock Creek Trail is nice enough - though I always get passed by the carbon-dudes. I dress in my street clothes, don't wear a helmet half the time and peddle along at a leisurely pace. But whenever these guys pass, I always feel inadequate. Crossing in front of the Kennedy Center is always bumpy, literally. Who's idea was it to make a trail with a ton of bricks—bump bump bump. Always feel like my poor old bike is going to fall apart. This area is usually a busy thorough-fare which works when I want to peddle along slowly, but in this section all I care about is getting over the bricks.
Over the bricks, down the trail a bit more to where the volley ball fields are right before the Lincoln Memorial. I stopped here briefly to figure out my path because I wanted to try going over the Arlington Memorial Bridge instead of the 14th St Bridge. Glad I made the call - 14th St Bridge is noisy, windy and narrow in comparison. While checking my route a guy on a recumbent passed me. I don't get it. You're so low to the ground, and you take up so much room - which I found out just a bit later when I got stuck behind him. A cyclist coming the other way was almost pushed into the Parkway because his recumbent took up so much room.
Crossing the Memorial Bridge was fairly uneventful, but like I said much nicer than the 14th St. Traffic moves at a slower pace, and despite going into traffic it was a pleasant crossing into Virginia. The drivers were actually nice when I came to the crossings at GW Parkway and slowed to let me cross. Once on the Mt Vernon Trail, I proceeded to get passed by everyone on their bike as I grinned like a fool while staring over the Potomac at the monuments. I tend to take them for granted unless I see them at the right time of day, and the sun had just gone completely down, leaving a nice dusty tone in the sky.
I always pause at Gravelly Point to sit on one of the picnic tables and watch the planes. Partly because it's calming and better than sitting on the metro or in traffic, and partly because I'm still a lazy ass who needs breaks. I also like to take the time to watch the bikes, though sadly most of them were newer bikes; I really do have a place in my heart for old bikes, handle built bikes and all those lovely lugs. Yum. But I have to remind myself that not everyone cares about that stuff.
I continued on to Crystal City—traveling along MVT past the airport always presents two challenges, the smells and the oncoming traffic's lights. I've smelled pizza and chinese food (yum) but this evening it was jet fuel, which made it hard to breath. My only wish for the trails would be that they were lit. I realize this would be a big expense, but it's so difficult to see as you are biking along, right into oncoming traffic. Several times I've almost gone off the trail or ran into a ninja-runner.
The rest of my commute is pretty boring, down some hills, up some hills then along 15th St in Crystal City to home. Though I almost did get hit by some woman in an Audi who couldn't figure out 'enter' from 'exit' and decided that since there were no cars, she could just back into the road without looking for anyone else.
I'm enjoying the commute to and from work so far, and can't wait to continue full-time once the weather gets nicer. Hope to see you on the trails, say hello! :)

A warm good morning friends
Nice to see you here, after a long gap, friends!
Hope you all had gone through the early post Birth Cont002
Nice to see you here, after a long gap, friends!
Hope you all had gone through the early post Birth Cont002
Like the children growing since birth, as we all know!, the grand children of this earth, learnt to live a life that is quite somewhat interesting, horrible and enjoyable too!
Like the children growing since birth, as we all know!, the grand children of this earth, learnt to live a life that is quite somewhat interesting, horrible and enjoyable too!
The ups and downs, the change in climate, the air, the sun, environment taught them to live accordingly.
All of them were not identical as it is common even now! Some of the intelligent kids made note of the changes for a whole life span of them and their consequent generations, which in term helped the new ones to develop and analyze from that position.
It's like a Spider man story (In tamil it is like a Mayavi comic story) who has no death.
At some stage, they predicted, calculated the future too and found them happened. May be! who knows the current generation of those intelligent may have had arrived the next phase of human life in earth too!
I hope to pause this lean with a final statement,
the birth of human being in this earth had not happened either at the same time or the someone later/earlier.
It should be an event that happened according to the biography of that area and the opportunities to survive!
Since the birth in earth, we follow our earlier generation, by years, son imitates father and daughter imitates mother. Additionally the experiences and results of combination of father and mother are available for their children.
What is the use of those knowledge for the welfare of human development?
How many of us even know that their experiences and customs would reflect in their kids?
How many of us try to correct ourselves to bring our children with those risk free, genuine habits?
We know all the goods and evils in the earth.
We studied about them and so kept our kids!
Left our kids to only study and not insisted to follow practically.
of course!
You are not the one to be blamed for that!
But, Yes!
You would be the one to be blamed for that if you do not correct and hand over to your kids for the injustice!!
The education to children is to live a life that is pretty good, genuine and healthy!
But what we teach them?
Insisting them to study them!
Memorize, Read, Write and Score!
Later we, ourselves, being an example in how to technically, tactically by passing those morals! (including myself), it is a shame and an injustice to our kids!
How could we clear and clean it?
Stay tuned for LEAD in the next post

Hello Patrick! I thought I would check in and see how you are. I sent you an email to your personal email address recently but never heard back from you. Hope you are doing well!
Hi Pat, i'm trying this route,see if it works.
Yeah, the broomstick was a very temp thing,but you see why i needed the hand controls. Also i was much crazier back then.
Are you still out near Dakota creek? i remember you were making a real nice place.
I lived in latin america(mexico,guatamala) for over 20 yrs. I returned to the USA about 10 yrs; ago and was living in the n.carolina mtns. when i had a heart attack then really screwed up my left rotator cuff which put me into a power chair. During this time i was living single but knew i needed help . I decided to go to vietnam as i had been there 65-67 and liked the place. After a few months i had hired and fired a few girls when my landlady brought her 15 yr old niece . She was a hard working little country girl, anyway she's still with me.
After 2 yrs. in vietnam i moved over to Laos ,a laid back,
I don't know how long i'll stay here but for now i'm OK. It was good hearing from you,take care, stay in touch, greg
Hey Bob, Never left the group. US Army 67-69. Doing okay, I trust you ar the same, Pat
Hi Patrick my Fellow Veteran hope this message finds you doing well. What branch of the service were you in when did you enlist and when were you discharged? If you've told me in the past I don't remember. Thank you for your service and for your sacrifice. I was in the Air Force from 8/71 to 5/75

I have set everything up as stated in the readme. When I enter my own email address to test the subscribe and click submit, I get the following error:
"Can't open /usr/sbin/sendmail"
My host tells me that to use send mail, I need to change:
>> If the script has ( for example ):
>> $mailprog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";
>> This would need to be replaced with:
>> $mailprog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -faddress\@customers-domain-name";
However, when I go to admin and add the "-email@example.com" to the end of "/usr/sbin/sendmail", I get the error:
"Can't open /usr/sbin/sendmail -email@example.com!"
Any suggestions?

Photoshop Wireframing Kit
The missing Photoshop Wireframing tool
Some vector custom elements
Every wireframe can look different, unleash your creativity
Now you can prototype directly from Photoshop
This tool uses Photoshop Custom Shapes extension that generates vector wireframing shapes. It can be useful for all designers that use Photoshop as a primary graphic tool. If you use Photoshop to design web sites, apps and other projects why not use Photoshop for wireframing and prototyping. With this tool now you can easily mix vector custom shapes with the Photoshop native functionality to produce great mockups. There are about 382 vector / custom shapes and icons that you can use for wireframing. This project is also handy for making mobile wireframes for your Android, iPhone, iPad or Windows Phone apps.
Custom skin or size. Personalize the shapes as you please
With the previous Two shapes from the Kit we can do this:
This demo is built with only two of around hundred shapes included in the Kit. See more demos.
The price is $ 29$ . This is probably one of the cheapest Wireframing Kit on the market. The Wireframing Icons are also included in the price. Once you buy the product all the additional updates will be free.
Note: You don't need a PayPal account to buy this Kit. You can use any credit or debit card.
> Installation
> Use
> Demos
> List of Shapes
> Wireframing Icons
> Wireframing Mock-ups
> Wireframe T-Shirt
> Illustrator Shapes
> What is Wireframing?
> Ask me anything / Twitter
This time I wanted to build solid and easy to use Wireframing Kit with continuous updates and improvements intended for professional wireframing work in Photoshop. This is my attempt to fill the Photoshop Wireframing gap and to bring vector custom shapes mainly for web designers who are already using Photoshop for building web sites and other digital prototypes. I wanted to make Wireframing Kit that will allow creative freedom and be able to produce creative, different looking prototypes. Photoshop vector shapes with Photoshop native features can truly produce original and different looking prototypes for different projects. Not every project has the same goal and meaning. So why shouldn't we make different looking prototypes for every project. You can see some examples of different web prototypes in the demo section on this site. If you have any question don't hesitate to email me and ask me anything, or you can ping me at my personal twitter account @vladocar

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the world's fastest production car, with an unchallenged top speed of 268 mph. Other cars may be faster in certain ways, but it's the king until someone knocks off its crown.
And speaking of dethroning, the SS appears to be attempting just that with a furious session around the Nürburgring earlier today. Can the heavy Veyron best the Gumpert or Viper? Can it even beat the Nissan GT-R?
Our 'Ring-happy friends over at Bridge to Gantry are right to point out that, while the Veyron SS is an engineering feat, it's likely not going to be as quick through the twisty Nordschleife.
All the technology and engineering that allows it to drive like The Flash while being driven by people with the reflexes of Comic Book Guy also makes it a bit of a porker.
So who does it have to beat? The fastest production car is the Dodge Viper ACR with a 7:12 lap time. The bespoke Gumpert Apollo Sport did it in 7:11.57, but that's a production car in the same way Scarlett Johansson is the girl next door — technically she has to live next to someone.
The Corvette ZR1 did it in 7:19.63, which is fairly impressive. The formerly budget 2012 Nissan GT-R did it in 7:20.
BtG guesses 7:31, which is faster than the old model by nearly ten seconds but still a little on the slow side. We're anxious to hear the real time if anyone is ever willing to share it.

What You Should Know About Bed Bugs
Bed Bug Tips from Viking Pest Control
"The return of bed bugs, formerly a rare pest problem," says Leonard Douglen, Executive Director of the New Jersey Pest Management Association, "has people asking all kinds of questions these days."
"The problem had pest control professionals asking the same questions," says Douglen, "because many of the younger technicians had never even seen a bed bug and, to make matters worse, they are very difficult to spot and require a lot of effort to eliminate."
Industry experts such as Paul J. Bello set to work to answer those questions and among the advice he is dispensing these days are the following tips that homeowners, apartment dwellers, business and vacation travelers, and others should know in order to avoid or deal with a bed bug infestation.
- Bedbugs are hitchhikers. Their reappearance in the U.S. is likely due to tourists from other nations, military personnel returning from the Middle East, and business travelers from less developed nations.
- Nature has endowed bed bugs with the ability to live a long time, up to a year, between meals. Moreover, they are indifferent to cold weather, so they can easily over-winter just about anywhere. They are very tiny and their eggs are tinier, barely one millimeter long or 1/32nd of an inch.
- Once discovered, it takes a lot of time to get rid of bed bugs. A bed bug problem does not lend itself to a one-stop, quick application of a pesticide, and total elimination. Moreover, pest management technicians are trained where to look and, even then, will use a flashlight and magnifying glass. There are now bed bug-sniffing dogs that have proven effective.
- There are no proven bed bug repellent products currently available. And, yes, you can be bitten and not know it.
- Bed bugs spend most of their time hiding and prefer undisturbed areas. The favorite place is the mattress, box spring, and bed frame; hence the name.
- If you travel, pest management professionals recommend you bring large, white, draw-string plastic trash bags with you to prevent bed bugs from getting into your luggage. If you spot the tiny creatures, you can keep them in the bag to be destroyed and to avoid bringing them into your home. Staying in a five-star hotel is not a guarantee against bed bugs.
- Bed bugs are "a people problem", not a "building" problem so almost anyone returning home, such as a college student, can unwittingly cause an infestation. Experienced pest management professionals will tell you that people who unknowingly bring bed bugs home may not discover they have a problem for anywhere from weeks to months.
- After professional treatment, it may take up to eight weeks before you can be absolutely sure no bed bugs are seen.
- Following a treatment, the purchase of high quality mattress encasements to seal in unseen bed bugs or their eggs is an excellent investment.
- A bed bug bite generally appears as a raised reddened bump on the skin and is often itchy. Bed bugs, however, are not known to transmit diseases.

Water firm United Utilities revealed a £25 million profits hit after it had to pay out compensation to hundreds of thousands of customers affected by the discovery of a parasitic bug in supplies.
The company started sending out cheques for compensation payments ranging from £50 to £60 earlier this month to 300,000 households in Lancashire - representing 10% of its customers.
In a trading update, United said that operating profit in the first half of its financial year ending on September 30 would be affected by customer compensation and one-off costs totalling around £25 million relating to the incidents.
Analysts have said the group will also face regulatory performance penalties in addition to these costs - though there was no mention of these in the latest statement. These are expected to be in the low single-digit millions.
United said: "We were very disappointed that a significant water quality incident occurred this summer in parts of the Lancashire region, and we are continuing to investigate the cause."
Homes and businesses in parts of the county were first warned to boil their water before use on August 6 after traces of the microbial parasite cryptosporidium was found in a water treatment works in Preston.
The company said: "We recognise the inconvenience this placed on many of our customers and are very grateful for their patience and understanding. We are in the process of paying compensation."
United said underlying operating profit for the first half was in line with expectations though lower than in the prior year, reflecting new regulated price controls.
Last October, the firm said it planned to cut household bills by 4.1% in real terms over the 2015-2020 period after its initial strategy for a 2.3% fall was given the thumbs-down by regulator Ofwat.
The group said in its latest update that reported operating profit for the first half would be hit by the "water quality incident" as well as restructuring costs of around £5 million.
United provides water and sewerage services for around seven million people in north west England.
