Experts discuss the best and most cost-effective way to remove bed bugs from your home.
Yes, I would trust a professional service. | |
Maybe. Only if the bed bugs are out of hand. | |
No. Despite this video, I would try cheaper options. |
Yes, it's a great idea | |
Yes, useful and entertaining | |
No |
First, make sure what you're seeing are, in fact, bed bugs. Beyond living in your bed frames, mattresses or headboards, these parasitic insects often lurk in dark areas. Check interior door frames, in between the folds of your curtains, behind loose wallpaper, and under chipping paint.
Have you seen one? Chances are there are many more. According to our experts, every one bed bug you see represents 12 that you don't, so once you identify an infestation you shouldn't waste any time before you exterminate.
Those on a budget may go for a dry steamer or natural oil option, but they simply aren't effective in getting rid of these resilient bugs. And at $150, you're essentially pouring money down the drain.
When it come to bed bugs, it pays to get professional help. Yes, pros can charge anywhere from $250 per room to exterminate, but this option is your best bet. It's pricey, but it's also effective.
If you're unlucky enough to find bed bugs in your home, don't waste money on do-it-yourself removal options. In this case, paying for professional help will be ultimately better for your budget.

National independent magazine Utne Reader has presented High Country News with an Utne Media Award for best environmental coverage. High Country News will be featured in Utne Reader's July-August issue, on sale June 18.
"With riveting reports from people tapped into the shouts of the wild, High Country News sheds light on what's happening in America beyond the edges of the daily, urban-focused news cycle," says Utne Reader editor-in-chief Christian Williams.
The Utne Media Awards, formerly known as the Utne Independent Press Awards, recognize the distinctiveness and vitality of alternative media. Utne Reader's editors select winners through an extensive reading process and yearlong examination, rather than via a competition with entry forms and fees.

January 26, 2013
If location within Buenos Aires is your concern, the Sheraton Hotel Libertador is at an ideal location within the heart of this beautiful city. Whether you want to indulge in shopping, or just take in the many attractions, the Sheraton Libertador is practically a hop, skip, and jump away from all of that. It is just a block away from the main shopping strip (Calle Florida) as well as the mall (Galleries Pacifico). If you'd prefer to take in sites, a 10 - 15 minute walk in any direction will guarantee that you find some of Buenos Aires' cultural offerings.The staff is also incredible friendly - always making sure to greet you and assist without you asking.Overall, a very good value for the quality of service provided. ...

This is a regular hotel visited by many low level business people. Staff is nice and helpful. It is a little noisy if they place you in a room looking to the street. Internet is expensive and does not work properly all the time. The location of the hotel is a plus.

JUNEAU, Alaska—
With the the 30-thousand-dollar-a-day legislative session still in limbo, committee hearings were held. Though no laws can be passed, now that the Senate has adjourned, two Senate Committees did examine two important issues: the high cost of energy in our state, and a controversial agreement to develop the oil and gas field at Point Thomson.
First, the high cost of energy. After considering the problem of Alaska's high electrical, home heating and gasoline costs, the Senate Finance Committee voted to spend $150,000 to study the issue.
No action can be taken before the 28th Legislature convenes next January, but lawmakers said it was a start.
Alaskans are the highest energy consumers per capita of any state in the union. And spending for energy takes a disproportionate amount of money out of our wallets.
Then, later in the day, bombshell testimony on Point Thomson.
Mark Myers, the former head of Alaska's Division of Oil and Gas, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he would not have signed the Governor's Point Thomson agreement. Myers thinks it's a bad deal from the state.
Myers, who holds a Ph. D. in geology, says there are too many loopholes in the agreement. He claimed those loopholes make the state vulnerable to delayed development, and to wasteful development.
Myers called Point Thomson the "crown jewel" in the state's undeveloped oil fields. He says it could contain a billion recoverable barrels of oil, and 7-to-8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
But because the field is 60 miles east of Prudhoe Bay and has no connecting infrastructure, ExxonMobil has more or less sat on the lease for decades.
The state had been suing the company, trying to get them to develop their lease. But in late March, the Parnell Administration announced a new agreement with ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips to develop the field.
It was that agreement that Meyers criticized today.
Myers said that, among other things, the new lease did not contain adequate protections against a phenomenon called, "Blow Down."
Blow Down can occur in high-pressure fields. And Point Thomson's oil and gas are trapped in rocks at unusually high pressures at about 10-thousand pounds per square inch. That's several times the pressure of a diver's scuba tank.
If high pressure fields are not developed properly, there's a huge risk that their full oil and gas potential might not be recovered.
Myers warned that the contract negotiated by the Parnell Administration does not provide enough assurance that the state of Alaska's interests will be protected.
He said that unless extremely expensive well-casings are used, casings that are 3 times more costly than conventional well cases, then oil and gas could come fizzing out of the Point Thomson fields at such high pressure, it risked leaving vast portions of the field untapped.
The phenomenon of letting runaway pressure pump your oil is called, as we mentioned, Blow Down. And it's analgous to popping the top on a shaken can of soda. Soda and gas come rushing out, but its wasteful.
According to Myers, the Parnell Administration contract weakens Alaska Department of Resources regulation of drilling techniques for Point Thomson. And it leaves the state vulnerable if an operator uses a cheap, quick method to recover oil and gas. The quick cheap method could leave vast portions of Point Thomson untapped and unavailable.
"Could you give us an estimate", Senator Bill Wielechowski (D-Anchorage) asked, "If Exxon were to choose the "blow down" method versus full-field cycling, how much that would *cost* the state of Alaska?
"60 million barrels of oil", Myers calculated out loud, "At say, subtract out transportation costs, a hundred dollars a barrel... What's that six billion dollars?
The members of the Judiciary Committee seemed astonished.
Later they heard testimony from Joh Balash, the Deputy Director of Alaska's Department of Natural Resources for the Parnell Administration. Balash assured senators that the state's interests had been protected in the contract.
He also told a Channel 2 interviewer, " It's very clear that the state law would dictate that those liquids be recovered." Balash wend on, "Certainly everything about this field is big, everything is complicated and everything is high-stakes, We are looking for the greatest recovery we can *get*.
The Parnell Administration also issued an e-mail reading, "The governor is confident this settlement will provide significant value to the state - both in production of resources and new economic opportunities." The Administration also says it has multiple layers of protection against Blow Down scenarios.
The governor's Point Thomson agreement is being disputed by Bill Walker of the Port Authority.
Walker wrote a letter to the DNR Commissioner alleging that the agreement was reached adequate public hearings or legislative oversight. The letter also contends that the agreement fails to provide adequate protection of Alaskans' interest.

One of the best parts of MuchMusic.com is the First Spin section. It allows people to sample music they might not otherwise be exposed to. Don't get us wrong, we love the regulars on New. Music. Live. like Katy Perry and One Direction. But acts like those featured on The Wedge and Rap City that often don't get played enough and they deserve as much exposure as the next Carly Rae Jepsen. So let's check out this new album from Beach House together, shall we?
Beach House is a group from Maryland and they focus on the genre of dream pop. What's "dream pop", you ask? Imagine that feeling when you're in your parents car watching the world go by from the backseat window, in the summer time. That, is dream pop. It is light and airy and very relaxing yet is evokes almost melancholic sentimentality. Which ironically, can get heavy at times. Beach House has been banging out the dream pop hits since 2004 and their album Bloom will be their fourth studio album.
Best Tracks: On The Sea, Myth
This album is another one for your summer playlist so give them a listen (we're sure Carly Rae would want you to).
Listen to Bloom in MuchMusic's First Spin section before it drops on May 15. You can listen to other great albums from other artists like Hey Ocean! and Adam Lambert in First Spin too.

From the very concrete that formed its structure to the soap at the wash basin, this facility has an environmental conscience. The AT& T Executive Education and Conference Center is built to the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification standards.
The University of Texas and its partner FLIK Conference Centers have implemented many green and sustainable features in the center's design and construction, accommodations, dining and facility maintenance.

Thanks to the person about the answer on Deborah Linz being in Dayton, Ohio. On your comment about the iPhones and computers being useless, you might be interested to know that not everyone can afford iPhones and computers, nor do they want them.
I despise Dollar Danny. He's done nothing for the average Charleston [resident]. His wealthy, snooty pals love him for making sure South Hills is always taken care of first. Meanwhile, we cannot get the city to fix human-sized potholes over near the Bigley Foodland.
Everyone seems to be asking who will pay if the federal cuts take place. The question should be: Who will pay if spending isn't cut and revenues don't rise? Future generations will be completely paralyzed by the debt burden <t40>...<t$> if we do not quit living beyond our means.
Federal agencies complaining they cannot handle 5 to 8 percent budget cuts need to look at some state governments and many private companies. They've been dealing with cuts far greater than that for years.
Gas prices will start to come down as soon as oil companies think their government subsidies are no longer threatened. Then they'll go up again if their pipeline is rejected.
During the 2008 campaign, when Michelle Obama said that "for the first time in my life, I am proud of my country," Rush Limbaugh and his puppet Republican Party criticized her as unpatriotic. Rush Limbaugh today said that he is ashamed of his country.
At age 68, I can no longer climb high in tree stands. ... Compared to a young man, I am at a disadvantage when archery hunting. If it would be legal to use a crossbow when archery hunting, I could look forward to a more enjoyable hunting experience. The DNR would have to recommend this to the Legislature.
The president told the Republicans to put the meat cleaver away. It's time someone told him to ditch the Santa Claus suit and the big credit card.
The U.S. has said that we will place sanctions on countries that engage in cyber-espionage. Does that mean that we are going to place sanctions on ourselves? Oh, sorry, I forgot. There's one set of rules for the U.S., and another set of rules for the rest of the world.
Shelley Moore Capito is a member of a dysfunctional Congress that has the worst rating ever, and she wants us to elect her to the Senate. Not on my vote.
In 2010, 38,329 people died from drug overdoses in the United States. Outlaw drugs, not guns! Oh wait, we have outlawed drugs. How has that worked out for you?
I am one of the "all of you people" who voted for President Obama and thank God we are getting what this country deserves. Finally, a president who is intelligent.

Asked how he plans to release his music, Jason said, "I see a couple of the old avenues still being there that will always be there in the purest form � making the vinyl and everybody having the special-edition vinyl to be able to read the lyrics, stuff like you and I loved the most, that's the closest to us that's the most endearing and the most personal. So that's always gonna be there and I never wanna dismiss that, so that will be percentage of it for the fans that really dig the real American kick-ass guitar music � And then the newest avenues that I'm just really now learning about as I expose myself to all this stuff� I saw a piece of one of ['That Metal Show' espisodes on VH1 Classic] and somebody talked about DOWN and some other bands doing four tracks at a time in EP form every few months, letting people have some fresh metal. I think that's a pretty good concept, a pretty good formula � I'm hip to that, [and] I'd like to warm up to that. Since it is new territory for me, I'm really open to that idea; I think it's a good way to spread stuff."

thin privilege
A few days ago, I was accused of thin- privileging and fat-shaming. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I did either.
friends don't tell friends they're too fat
I am going to take a controversial stance here: Friends are actually supportive of one another, not name-calling, terrible people.
Your boss wants you to "voluntarily" let him know how much you are working out. I want him to "voluntarily" punch himself in the nards.
being fat all over the internet
A meme on the internet is at it's best when it's charming and vaguely stupid. But this isn't always the case, because, as time and trolls have proved, the internet has some dark corners.
It seems to me the newest trend in Hollywood is chubby white actresses playing the funny, wise cracking, sex-deprived/asexual, yet overly desperate comedic sidekick in movies.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam said Friday that some auto suppliers considering moving closer to Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant may balk if the United Auto Workers succeeds in unionizing the factory.
"[VW] wants more suppliers closer to them. We've worked really hard to do that. A lot of those suppliers are saying, 'If the UAW comes into the plant, I don't know if we'll be as close as we would,"' the governor said.
Haslam, speaking to Times Free Press reporters and editors, said business recruitment to the state is being hindered by the UAW's organizing efforts at the plant.
"I've had several folks recently say that if the UAW comes, that would dampen our enthusiasm for Tennessee," he said. "They feel like, 'We're looking at Tennessee because it's a right-to-work state.'"
VW and the UAW said this week they're continuing to talk about a collaborative German-style works council setup. Each said that it will be up to the workers to decide whether they want the labor board and for the UAW to represent them.
The UAW, in a statement on Friday, said if Chattanooga workers choose to have representation and a works council, the union is committed to engaging with VW in "open, fair and respectful dialogue to create an environment where Tennessee workers can participate in VW's global work council system."
According to the union, VW workers in Chattanooga have an opportunity to introduce a new model of labor relations to the United States in partnership with the UAW.
"Such a labor relations model would give workers the job security that would accompany their having an integral role in managing the company and a vehicle to provide input on workplace improvements that will contribute to the company's success," the statement said.
The UAW said every major VW assembly facility in the world, except Chattanooga, has worker representation and a seat on the automaker's global works council.
Haslam said he has talked with VW officials in Chattanooga and in Germany who tell him that the works council under consideration at the local plant should not be "an ultimate concern."
But, he said, state officials have been clear with VW that its works councils and Tennessee's history with the UAW "we feel like are two very different things."
Haslam said people compare the General Motors assembly plant in Spring Hill, Tenn., which already has UAW representation, to Nissan's Smyrna, Tenn., factory that started just before GM built its Middle Tennessee facility.
"They compare the results -- look at what Nissan has grown to and look what GM has done," the governor said. "That's what we hear back from companies."
However, the UAW says the auto companies and their employees represented by the union are prospering.
This summer, GM unveiled a new $167 million infusion into Spring Hill, which coupled with an earlier plan to invest $187 million, could lead to production of a pair of new SUVs. GM also said the investment will create or retain 1,800 jobs at the factory that now employs about 2,000 people.
At the time, Bob King, the UAW president, talked in a telephone interview of "the value of collective bargaining," adding that "there wouldn't be a Spring Hill without the UAW."
"Today it's Spring Hill, but we work just as hard for our members and communities in all of the places where we represent workers," King said.
Nissan, meanwhile, this summer announced it is adding more than 900 manufacturing jobs in Smyrna to support future production of its compact crossover SUV, the Nissan Rogue.
The Smyrna plant, which has fought off multiple UAW efforts, is expected to have more than 7,000 workers by the end of this latest round of hiring.
In addition, Haslam said the state has had conversations with Hyundai, which is reportedly scouting for another assembly plant in the Southeast.
The Birmingham News, citing a South Korea report, said this week that Alabama and Georgia are trying to attract such a Hyundai facility. The automaker already has a plant outside Montgomery, Ala., and its sister company, Kia, operates a factory near West Point, Ga.
Haslam declined to comment further on Hyundai, but he said Tennessee has "pretty good momentum" regarding economic development projects.
"We have several more to come," he said.
The governor did link business recruitment efforts with an initiative the state is undertaking to increase the number of Tennesseans who hold college degree or education certificates.
"As we recruit business, I hear it everywhere -- 'We'd build more and do more in Tennessee if we were confident of the workforce you have,'" Haslam said. "I probably hear that four times a week, and I'm not exaggerating."

Change can be a time of growth, insists Gloria Anticoli.
In this case, she's referring to the changes that will take place Sunday, when a new translation of the Roman Catholic Missal officially goes into effect. It will be used in English-speaking Catholic parishes worldwide. Although she doesn't know exactly what will transpire when she arrives at Precious Blood Catholic Church in Trotwood on Sunday morning, Anticoli is a faithful churchgoer who says she's open to learning.
"All I know is that they're changing the words to try to make Scripture more meaningful," said the Trotwood woman, who, at age 84, has experienced many changes over the years — including the dramatic transition from the all-Latin Mass of her childhood to English.
"For me, whenever there's a change, it's a disruption in my thinking and in my prayers, but I look at it as something I need to learn. It's only difficult in the sense that it's new."
That positive but realistic attitude is precisely what those who have been involved with the introduction of the translation of the Mass are hoping to encounter everywhere.
Karen Kane, director of the Worship Office for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, has been "eating and sleeping" the new Roman Missal for the past couple of years. The Missal is the book used by priests and members of the congregation that contains all the prayers and descriptions of the actions making up the celebration of the Mass.
"What's about to take place," she explains, "is that the words we use at Mass will be changed pretty substantially, particularly for the priests and the prayers that they pray."
Although the spoken and sung responses of the lay people are changing as well, those changes aren't as dramatic.
The goal, said Kane, is to introduce "a higher and more sacred language" that separates it from everyday conversation and to clarify the connection between the Mass and the Scripture that serves as its foundation.
Some examples?
The word "venerate" will replace the word "honor."
The word "oblation" will replace the word "offering."
A "cup" will become a "chalice," and "The one in being" will become "consubstantial."
The current changes, Kane said, aren't nearly as major as the changes that came about in 1963 after Vatican II. Not only was the Latin Mass permitted to be said in the vernacular in order to make it more accessible, but altars were turned around so that the priest faced the people.
"I've talked with a lot of people about those changes and the vast majority of people received the changes that Vatican II brought about happily because the liturgy became something they could actively participate in," said Kane. "It was prayed in a language they understood; they could see what was going on; they were no longer spectators of a ritual the priest was doing. The ritual of the Mass became the work of everyone."
It's important to note, Kane said, that the changes taking place this weekend are nothing like those previous changes.
"These changes only affect the words, but do not affect the order of the Mass," she said.
The project, undertaken in 2000 by the International Commission on English in the Liturgy, involved a series of preliminary editions, with feedback eventually given to the Bishops Committee for Divine Worship in Washington, D.C.
Kane said in preparation for the upcoming changes, there have been countless educational programs for priests, deacons, staffers and the "lay faithful," as well as chant workshops.
"The formation or education we were hoping to do wasn't simply on the word changes, but our hope was the programs would help people understand why we do what we do at Mass and help people deepen their understanding and experience of the Mass," she said.
Among those who have helped to educate their parishioners are John Grusenmeyer and Karla Kosey, Tecumseh High School students and active members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in New Carlisle.
The teens attended Laudate, a Catholic music retreat, last summer, where they were introduced to the new translation.
"My grandma always used to say that singing was praying twice — using the gifts God has given you at the same time you are talking to God and worshiping Him," said Grusenmeyer, who explains that because the words had changed, some of the music had to change as well.
Since August, the teens have been helping the members of their church "slowly work toward the new translation" with special emphasis on reaching people their own age.
"It's a change and may be hard to get used to, but nobody dislikes it," he said.
The Rev. Michael Pucke of St. Julie Billiart Catholic Church in Hamilton has been reassuring his parishioners about the upcoming changes in a number of ways. He's been discussing the changes in church for the past few weeks, and has already introduced the music that will now accompany the "Gloria." A user-friendly booklet has been prepared for parishioners.
"We decided that rather than give everybody everything, we would give people what they need right now and not overwhelm them," he explains. "It's something that will help them make this new translation their own."
Pucke said that because the new translation uses grammar that is more like the Latin than English, it can appear convoluted.
He prefers to call it "transcendent."
"The change in language," he said, "can help us have a new perspective on the mystery of God."
