THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Members of the world's chemical weapons watchdog will meet Sunday to discuss how to fast-track moves to secure and destroy Syria's poison gas and nerve agent arsenal, a spokesman said Thursday.
The executive council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons will discuss the deal brokered last Saturday by the United States and Russia to put Syria's chemical weapons under international supervision and destroy them in coming months, spokesman Michael Luhan told The Associated Press.
Under the U.S.-Russia agreement, inspectors are to be on the ground in Syria by November. During that month, they are to complete their initial assessment and all mixing and filling equipment for chemical weapons is to be destroyed.
All components of the chemical weapons program are to be removed from the country or destroyed by mid-2014.
Both the United States and Russia are among the 41 nations with representatives on the OPCW's executive council.
In a joint US-Russian paper sent to members of the council and posted on the OPCW website Thursday, the two countries said they are working on sending the council in the coming days "a draft decision setting down special procedures for expeditious destruction of the Syrian chemical weapons program and stringent verification thereof."
The OPCW said in a statement earlier this week, that moves to rid Syria of chemical weapons would be undertaken swiftly, in the aftermath of the U.N. report that concluded sarin had been used in an attack in Damascus last month.
Syria is expected to provide a full inventory of its chemical weapons and production facilities and OPCW experts will then travel to Syria to conduct on-site inspections to verify the accuracy of the list.
In an interview with Fox News Channel conducted in the Syrian capital of Damascus and aired Wednesday, Syrian President Bashar Assad blamed terrorists for the Aug. 21 chemical attack, which the U.S. says killed more than 1,400 people, including hundreds of children. He said evidence that terrorist groups have used sarin gas has been turned over to Russia and that Russia, through one of its satellites, has evidence that the rockets in the attack were launched from another area.
While the U.N. report did not lay blame, many experts interpreting the report said all indications were that the attack was conducted by Assad forces.
Assad said his government would abide by the agreement reached with U.S. and Russian officials to give up his chemical weapons. He says he has received estimates that destroying the stockpiles would cost $1 billion and would take roughly a year.
"We didn't say that we are joining partially. ... We joined fully. We sent the letter. We sent the document. And we are committed to the full requirement of this agreement," he said.
He said Syria was ready to talk to experts about the technical aspects of what he said would be a complicated task. He said Syria was ready to provide a list of weapons and provide experts access to the sites.
Emily Chorley, an analyst with HIS Jane's who studies nonproliferation, said the U.S.-Russian agreement would be difficult to carry out in a short time.
"I think Assad's estimate of one year is probably optimistic," she said Thursday. "Until we really know the full scale of Syria's chemical weapons arsenal it is very difficult to estimate cost and timeframe."
Associated Press writer Lori Hinnant in Paris contributed to this report.

Though the location of the Hunger Games set was kept secret for six months during filming, fans of the franchise who want to experience life in Panem for themselves now have the opportunity to do just that.
The blockbuster film has provided a boon to the tourism industry in North Carolina, where it was shot, according to Friday's Today show. Fans are flocking to locations such as the Henry River Mill Village, an abandoned mill town outside Charlotte, which is home to the set pieces that were used as Katniss's house and Peeta's bakery.
"I think tourism to the area will double and triple, based just on the inquiries we re getting," Tammy Hopkins of the Transylvania County Arts Council, told the Los Angeles Times. "People are calling my house, all the hotels are calling me, people are emailing [about the locations]. Just today, I got emails from people in St. Joseph, Mo., and Manhattan, asking if they filmed here."
RELATED: They've Got Games! Meet the All-Star Fans
At the DuPont State Forest, where scenes including the Games themselves and Katniss and Gale's hunting adventures were filmed, fans can take a Hunger Games tour.
During filming, the movie was shot under a code name to keep the set location under wraps, according to reports. The second installment in the trilogy, Catching Fire, will also reportedly be filmed in North Carolina.

LAS VEGAS, July 18 (UPI) -- Comedienne Sarah Silverman released on online video offering a sex act to a Las Vegas billionaire if he donates to President Obama instead of Mitt Romney.
The tongue-in-cheek "Indecent Proposal" video, posted to YouTube Monday, featured Silverman offering to engage in a non-intercourse sex act with Sheldon Adelson if he pulls the $100 million he has promised to Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and instead gives it to Obama, ABC News reported Wednesday.
"If you give that $100 million to Obama instead of Romney, I will -- well, I won't have sex with you because we're not married and I am a nice girl," Silverman said, before suggesting a sex act that would allow her to keep her clothes on.
Adelson, who previously gave $10 million to the Romney-backing Restore Our Future Super PAC, has promised "limitless" donations to the campaign to remove Obama from office.
Silverman's video was produced by the pro-Obama Jewish Council for Education and Research PAC, which said it wanted to highlight Adelson's donations.
"We're uncomfortable with the size of the gift, [and] that one person can singlehandedly affect the election," said Mik Moore, treasurer for the Jewish Council for Education and Research.

About the time Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions was lacing into the Senate's Gang of Eight immigration reform package and offering dozens of amendments in committee, some Democrats may have been ruing the day their party helped deep-six his appointment to a federal court. Republicans could be forgiven for having similar regrets when Elizabeth Warren won a Senate seat after they had successfully headed off any chance for her to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
When it comes to blocking nominations, sometimes partisans might want to be careful what they wish for. The fate of Richard Cordray, who has the job Warren didn't get, is likely at stake this month and could turn into another example of unintended consequences. If the GOP continues to block permanent status for him, his possible alternatives include challenging Ohio Gov. John Kasich or succeeding U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Donald Berwick, whom Republicans refused to confirm as permanent head of the massive agency that runs Medicare and Medicaid, is already running for governor of Massachusetts. He says he wants to make the state a model for jobs, education and cost-effective health care.
Sessions was elected to the Senate in 1996, a decade after eight Democrats and liberal Republicans Arlen Specter and Charles "Mac" Mathias voted 10-8 in the Judiciary Committee to kill his nomination by President Reagan as a district judge. Their rationale at the time had to do with accusations of racial insensitivity against Sessions, based in part on sworn statements in which he called the NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union "un-American" and "communist inspired."
Now, from his perches as senior Republican on the Senate Budget Committee and third-ranking on Judiciary, the very committee that dashed his ambitions in 1986, Sessions has been a leading voice against immigration reform, the Affordable Care Act, and spending on safety net programs. He has attacked the immigration bill on populist grounds (it will hurt low-wage American workers) and moral ones (we shouldn't give illegal immigrants amnesty and access to all the benefits of legal citizens). He also took umbrage at the Gang of Eight process. "Somebody needs to ask questions about this bill," he said on CNN. "They don't get to write a bill in secret, and we all roll over and have it passed without examination." The bill passed the Senate, but Sessions' critiques previewed the storm awaiting reform proposals in the House.
Warren was an unsparing critic of the financial industry as chairwoman of the Congressional Oversight Panel on TARP. She proposed the idea of the consumer bureau and set it up when it was first created, as part of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. But she was such a lightning rod and so unlikely to be confirmed that President Obama did not nominate her to be its inaugural director. That catapulted her into a Senate race, which she won despite a deluge of banking and financial industry contributions for then-Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass. The next battle was to keep Warren off the Senate Banking Committee. Wall Street lost that one, too.
The GOP and Wall Street "victory" in keeping Warren off the CFPB seems awfully pyrrhic at this point. Her six-year term guarantees her a Senate platform through 2018, she's probably a lock for reelection in her blue state, and some Democrats even see her as a potential presidential candidate. Warren has already made headlines twice for going after regulators she views as too soft on banks. Settlements are fine, she told them at a hearing in February, but oversight agencies have "a lot less leverage" if they never take banks to trial for breaking the law.
Cordray is caught in an increasingly tangled web of complications. Republicans have refused to confirm any CFPB director until the structure of the new agency is changed, while Democrats have refused so far to make any changes. Another layer of uncertainty was added last month when the Supreme Court said it would hear arguments on the constitutionality of appointments presidents make when Congress is in recess. Such appointments don't require confirmation, but are temporary.
Obama installed Cordray as a recess appointment when Republicans blocked his initial nomination in 2011, and renominated him this year. A vote is likely this month, possibly accompanied by a showdown over whether to preserve the filibuster in its current form. Unless Cordray is confirmed, he'd have to leave his job at the end of the year.
At least two future paths for Cordray involve promotions. Some Ohio insiders say the former Ohio attorney general is a possible successor to Holder, who has said he will not be staying for Obama's entire second term. Cordray is also a liberal favorite for governor, based on his policies and victories in statewide races for treasurer and attorney general. He hasn't made moves toward running, but he hasn't ruled it out, either. Kasich achieved a career high of 54 percent approval in a Quinnipiac Poll taken June 18-23, but may have become more vulnerable after signing a controversial budget June 30 that tightens restrictions on abortion and cuts funding for Planned Parenthood.
Berwick is a pediatrician and a longtime health-care innovator who was president and CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement for nearly 20 years. He says he received his education in politics in Washington, when Republicans – accusing him of favoring health-care rationing, which he vehemently denies -- twice refused to confirm him as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Obama gave him a recess appointment to run the half-million-worker agency with an $820 billion budget, but he had to leave in 2011 when the temporary appointment expired. As Berwick told a Fox interviewer last month in Boston, "I've been in the cauldron."
Berwick's gubernatorial odds are long; his Democratic primary opponents could eventually include members of Congress and state attorney general Martha Coakley, and Republicans have strong potential contenders in Brown, recent Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez and former health care CEO Charles Baker, who lost a race for governor in 2010.
But if Berwick were to become governor, he says he'd make sure his state sets a good example for others trying to achieve seamless and less expensive health coverage. "Massachusetts is four to five years ahead of the country," Berwick said on Fox, referring to the state's 2006 law that provided the template for "Obamacare." "We have to succeed in health care reform in this state or there are consequences…"
Failure would feed into Republican assertions that Obamacare is a recipe for soaring health costs and dampened economic growth. They could not have foreseen the unlikely entry into politics of a candidate determined and uniquely qualified to prove them wrong.

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - The most notorious survivor of accused serial killer Anthony Sowell has filed a civil suit against him.
Gladys Wade actually had Sowell arrested for attacking her, and police went into his house, but a city prosecutor ruled no charges. The bodies of 11 women were found months later. A few other families have also sued Sowell, but those civil cases have been put on hold until after his criminal trial.
Still, other families are building lawsuits against the city of Cleveland, arguing the city didn't do enough to find missing women or stop Sowell before the women were killed.

CIU Reps to Recruit, Touch Lives on 1,800 Mile Bicycle Tour
A 1,800 mile summer bicycling tour along the East Coast by five young men will focus on 1More. The idea is not to just peddle 1More mile from Florida to Maine, but it's an opportunity to touch 1More life.
The 1More Tour features Columbia International University students Brian Collison, ,,, Matt Densky, Drew Williams, Izzy Markle and his brother, CIU alumnus Grayson Markle. They'll begin their journey in Jacksonville, Fla. on June 5, with plans to finish in Portland, Maine July 27.
The goal of the tour is to recruit 1More student for CIU, reconnect with 1More CIU alumnus and share God's love and forgiveness with 1More person. Densky, a student in CIU Seminary & School of Missions, says he and his fellow bicyclists will make stops in cities along the way to speak in churches and in the homes of CIU alumni.
"I want to tell other students about the great school that I attend, hear stories and wisdom from CIU alumni, and take part in an excellent adventure," Densky said. "How many chances do you have in life to spend two months seeing the countryside from the pace of a bicycle? But ultimately, I want to take the name of Jesus up the coast."
The men will post Internet videos, photos, journal entries and updates on their whereabouts throughout the trip.

We have known for many years that the bacteria, beta hemolytic group A Streptococcus, causes sore throats with fever and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. We also know that there are rare and serious complications that can occur when this infection is left untreated. These are Acute Rheumatic Fever (inflammation of the heart, joints, skin and nervous system), and Acute Glomeruonephritis (a kidney problem). Milder forms of arthritis are also often traced to Strep. These conditions arise when the child's immune system produces excess amounts of antibody in an effort to fight the strep. This excess antibody can mistakenly attack the heart, brain, joint lining or kidneys causing disease.
The fear of these complications has led to the development of throat cultures and fast tests that can be performed in the office or lab. When Group A Beta strep is identified antibiotics are prescribed.
It has long been noted that about 50% of cases of rheumatic fever had no history of sore throat or fever prior to the attack. It is assumed that not all strep infections cause an identifiable illness and not all are in the throat. Sinusitis, ear infections, and genital infections can be caused by Group A strep. These often go undiagnosed and untreated because they do not usually cause fever and systemic illness.
In 1998 Dr. S. Swedo from the National Institutes of Health described another pediatric problem caused by strep- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She described a group of patients who developed the psychiatric symptoms during or after a strep infection. These children were all before puberty and did not respond to the usual psychiatric medications. They all had extremely elevated levels of the anti strep antibody, DNASE B. Some of them improved dramatically after treatment with antibiotics.
Since that time other neuropsychiatric disorders in young children including tics, Tourettes, anxiety disorders, and major behavior changes have been attributed to strep infections. The syndrome was labeled PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Strep).
There are large studies going on now in major medical centers to study PANDAS. They are trying to determine if the patients really do improve on antibiotics and whether they need long term prophylactic doses to prevent relapse. It will be about two years before this information will be published. Meanwhile, many pediatricians are considering strep when one of their young patients suddenly develops a neuropsychiatric disorder.
The symptoms can be varied in different children. The most obvious one is tics, which are involuntary facial and body movements such as eye rolling, grimacing or tapping hands or feet. Other symptoms include involuntary noises such as snorting squeaking or even yelling.
Some of the children develop strange habits such as running to the bathroom every few minutes in fear of wetting themselves. Some have more classic obsessive thoughts such as fear of germs or guilt over trivial transgressions and compulsive behaviors, such as hand washing or even excessive praying.
Sometimes the child will have a sudden change of personality or behavior such as a naturally even tempered child becoming impulsive, oppositional or obnoxious.
Some of the children develop severe anxieties that interfere with normal function, such as fear of leaving home.
Many of these children experience joint pains or headaches along with the change in behavior.
When a parent complains of a dramatic change in their child it is now known that this child needs a throat culture, and a blood test for the DNASE B antibody. If either test is abnormal the diagnosis of PANDAS should be considered.
The treatment for these children should be a course of antibiotics. Which one is not well understood. Many doctors are using Amoxicillin or Keflex, however there is some evidence that Zythromax can result in quicker and more dramatic return to normal behavior.
The pediatric psychiatric community is not yet in tune with this diagnosis. Any pre pubertal child who experiences deterioration in his or her psychiatric function should be tested for DNASE B antibody and the throat cultured. If either of these tests is abnormal, a course of antibiotics (in my experience, Zythromax) should be attempted before a psychiatric referral is made since it often results in cure.
PANDAS is still a new and somewhat unproven concept. The fact is, however, that I have seen many examples that seem to fit the diagnosis and respond well to this "unusual" treatment.
The problem can recur with subsequent strep infections. When the "PANDAS" behavior starts to become evident again, another treatment with antibiotics usually resolves the problem. Some doctors feel that after a recurrence a 6-12 month course of low dose Amoxil two times a day should be given to prevent strep infections.
Even though we, as pediatricians, are trying hard not to use antibiotics unnecessarily this is one instance where we must consider treatment as critically important. Although most kids with tics and even childhood OCD improve with time, the PANDAS symptoms can, if left untreated, become permanent. This is, admittedly, a strange new idea, but for the parents of a child with PANDAS the relief experienced when their child returns to normal is indescribable.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/14/2014 -- Imagine having a tool about half the size of an iPhone allowing a guitarist to record, perform, tune AND monitor environmental conditions for optimal storage! That's the idea behind Acoustic Stream, www.acousticstream.com , a revolutionary device that attaches to a guitar and syncs with mobile units.
The brainchild of guitarist and CAD software guru Bob Bean started when Bean took his guitar out of its case to find it was cracked in three places.
"Admittedly the winters in New England can be beyond harsh, but I thought the humidifier in the case would protect the guitar. It didn't. I knew then something needed to be done. Musicians need a better way to protect their investment and the tool of their craft," he said.
With prototypes for Acoustic Stream musician-tested, Bean decided it is time to take his creation to market. He has launched a Kickstarter Project www.acousticstream.com/kickstartus to introduce his product. His company, Acoustic Stream has been approved for the Apple MFI developer program.
"We have a solid idea, a proven idea and a market need. We just need to refine the product for mass production, set up the manufacturing process and begin taking orders," Bean said. "Acoustic Stream is something musicians have needed for a long time and now, with crowdfunding help, it will be a reality."
Monitoring rapid temperature and humidity changes are essential for protection of quality instruments.
"Both of these can be fatal for a guitar, as I found out," Bean said. "If you have that perfect guitar that delivers the perfect sound, then you need to protect it. Acoustic Stream lets you keep a close eye on your instrument. If things start changing, you can step in and do what's necessary to correct the environment."
Wireless musical functions allow instant recording. A musician himself, Bean knows inspiration can strike anywhere at any time. Music must be captured quickly or it may be lost forever.
The precision tuning feature is a convenience, always at the ready, to help a musician sound his best.
Acoustic Stream works with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, 5s, 5c, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, iPad Air and iPod Touch 5th generation. Future iOS updates will be supported as Apple brings them out.
The Kickstarter campaign has several funding levels beginning at $19. Those contributing at this level may download music from the Kickstarter video along with plenty of thanks.
Moving up two levels will purchase an Acoustic Stream at half price, along with 10 guitar picks and music downloads.
At the top contribution level of $3,000, the backer is designated a beta tester and will receive two devices with adapters and other items listed in lower levels.
For more information, visit www.acousticstream.com/kickstartus and www.acousticstream.com.
About Acoustic Stream
Acoustic Stream is small electronic device, which attaches to a guitar or other instrument allowing a musician to monitor storage conditions as well as record and play music and tune the guitar. Acoustic Stream can also be found on Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube, Pinterest and LinkedIn.

This is the week that colleges open up their dorms to students and parents open up their wallets to colleges.
This is the week that colleges open up their dorms to students and parents open up their wallets to colleges.
It's hard to tell which makes Mom and Dad cry more — knowing they're dropping off their kid or parting with their life's savings.
To offset the monetary loss of sending their genius to good old Payuntilyoudrop U., I suggest parents consider ways to make money while their kids are at school. No, you can't sell their furniture or rent out their room.
But I do advise parents to invest heavily in ramen noodles. You can bet more college students will open these artificially flavored delicacies than any textbook they buy. Also, invest in bottled water.
In my unscientific survey of parents from New York City and Long Island who drop their kids off at colleges north or west of Roscoe, they question the availability of safe drinking water. As if it doesn't exist north of Yonkers. Kinda ironic since the drinking water south of Yonkers comes from upstate.
I saw folks schlep cases of water up to their kids' dorms as if all of upstate had been hit by a drought. Equally disturbing were the cartons of food that they brought from home. Did they think the college would run out?
I reminded these parents that we actually have supermarkets up here. How do these people think we eat? Kill our own food?
Here's another savings tip.
Ignore "Tips For Your Child's Dorm" articles. Like the one that says your kid won't survive college unless he or she sleeps on 100 percent Egyptian cotton sheets. My tip: Egyptian pharaohs slept on beds of stone. Get the kid clean sheets.
Another "tip" was to maximize the flow of positive chi in your child's dorm room and increase the essence of space.
You want to increase the flow of feng shui and the essence of space? Have your kid pick up his underwear and clean up the compost pile made out of dirty bed linen.
All this comes as the Obama administration says about 1.4 million undergraduate students in schools across New York will graduate with more than $26,000 in debt. The Class of 2017 is more likely to have borrowed money for college than their boomer parents were. But unlike their parents, they'll need more than four years to earn a diploma.
And what these kids did borrow for tuition doesn't include what they or their parents had saved up all these years. Or how much was wasted on those ever-expanding, overpriced meal plans. Or the additional bucks we put into their "college cards" for the off-campus dining. Or the groceries we bring up to our kids in case they get hungry in between the on- and- off-campus meals.
I do remember seeing one dad with tears of joy and relief. I assumed he was just so proud to know his child was starting college. A true milestone in the life of a parent.
He gathered himself together and told me he was very happy. He had just found out there's an elevator in his kid's dorm so he wouldn't have to carry the water and food up five flights of stairs.

Join Occupy Wall Street On Election Day!

Nov. 5: Victory Party at Goldman Sachs
When: Monday, Nov. 5 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Where: Goldman Sachs (200 West St, New York, NY)
Facebook Event
The System isn't broken – it's fixed!
Every four years, billions of dollars are spent convincing Americans that we all have a choice in our leadership. Endlessly repeating political ads and staged debates insist your $5 contribution is just as powerful as Goldman Sachs' millions in contributions to both sides. Do you really believe this? People who contributed $5 are now living on the streets because of foreclosure, while those who contributed millions are better off than ever.
Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and JPMorgan played starring roles in the financial collapse of 2008. Yet Congress and the President bailed them out. They still receive cash infusions from the Federal Reserve to cover future losses on their "investments." The $5 donation crowd pays for this through taxes and the debasement of the dollar. Since 2008, investment banks broke disclosure laws, manipulated the rates that are the foundation of all financial interactions, laundered money from drug lords, promoted anti-US terrorism by ignoring financial embargoes… the list just goes on and on and on. But not one of these banksters has been indicted or gone to jail. From the cop on the beat to our President, our government has been purchased by the ultra-rich, who hold the reins of power.
Every four years these faux rulers like to throw themselves a victory party. We're not invited. But this time things are going to be different. On Election Eve at 7PM, Occupy Wall Street is going to be standing in front of Goldman Sachs and telling it like it is: whoever wins, we the people lose. Why not join us at the Occupy mocktail party? It will be fun. Formal dress encouraged. Refreshments will be provided.
On Election Day, why wait until the official tally comes in? After all, here on Wall Street, we are always the first to know who won. At the true epicenter of American power, the 1% will mingle, pour some bubbly, and then call the elections early. Regardless of which party snags the seat of power, we have already won!!!
Nov. 6: Wall Street Election Day Victory Party
When: Tuesday, Nov. 6 @ 5:00 PM
Where: Liberty Square (Zuccotti Park) {NOTE: If power is still out in Manhattan, and train service is severely limited, we will instead meet in the new Wall Street, Midtown Manhattan, at Bryant Park}
Facebook Event
A note on proper attire: Be sure to dress in your 1% finest! If you don't have a suit that's okay, there's always a role for the 99% to play.
Nov. 6: Occupy Times Square
When: Tuesday, Nov. 6 @ 9:00 PM
Where: Times Square
Facebook Event
The elections have already been stolen.
Due to the influence of money in politics, no matter which candidates are victorious on November 6th, Wall Street still wins. Now, you may choose not to vote because you think the electoral system is totally bankrupt. Or you may choose to vote because as bad as things are, they could get much worse. That's up to you. But we don't need to argue about it, because we can all agree: voting by itself will not bring about the changes we need.
Question the legitimacy of an electoral process that has been hijacked by corporate money. Create a pathway for people to go from voting to being actively involved in social movements. Connect people to existing Occupy campaigns and projects - from Strike Debt to Occupy the Pipeline.
As soon as the polls close, let's gather in Times Square and show people what REAL democracy looks like - holding a People's Assembly and creating a place where anyone can speak, not just those who raise money to run for office. We can bring "planks" on different issues and assemble The People's Platform. This is a great outreach opportunity to connect new people to Occupy and related movements.

Vermont 9-1-1 Board and AT&T Launch Text-to-911 Trial
Montpelier, Vt.—August, 23, 2013 – AT&T* customers in Vermont can now use their mobile phones to send a text message to 911 for emergency help on a trial basis. The service, which will be available to AT&T wireless customers during a six-month trial period, launches today.
Last December, AT&T and three other wireless carriers entered into a voluntary agreement with the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) and the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) to provide text-to-911 service by mid-2014, for those jurisdictions that are ready to receive them. Since that time, the Vermont 9-1-1 Board has been working to get the service implemented as soon as possible.
"The addition of AT&T as a text-to-911 provider is beneficial for all of our residents and especially important for those with speech or hearing impairments, as well as those who are in dangerous situations where calling 9-1-1 may put them at a greater risk of harm," said David Tucker, Executive Director of the Enhanced 9-1-1 Board.
The Vermont 9-1-1 Board is currently in the process of working through the various stages of text-to-911 implementation with the four carriers that entered into the agreement with NENA and APCO. These carriers account for approximately 98 percent of the wireless voice calls received at the Vermont 9-1-1 centers. AT&T's trial period is the latest step towards a goal of achieving ubiquitous text-to-911 services across the state.
Wireless customers in Vermont using text-to-911 should always keep the following in mind:
• Customers should use the texting option only when calling 9-1-1 is not an option.
• The first text message sent should always include clear location information and the nature of the emergency. Emergency personnel will not be able to access cell phone location or speak with the person who is sending the text.
• Text abbreviations and slang should never be used.
• Customers must be inside AT&T's wireless network coverage footprint in Vermont.
• As is the case with calling 9-1-1, customers should only text 911 for emergency situations that require an immediate response from police, fire or emergency medical services.
*AT&T products and services are provided or offered by subsidiaries and affiliates of AT&T Inc. under the AT&T brand and not by AT&T Inc.

Observers hail ASPER contribution
But views on Israel and direction of news coverage also provoked controversy
By Richard BLOOM and Paul WALDIE Wednesday, October 8, 2003 - Page B7
In its early days, CanWest Global Communications Corp. may have had the dubious moniker of The Love Boat network, but there is no doubt Izzy ASPER made "very significant" contributions to Canadian media, industry observers said yesterday.
At the same time, his actions as head of the media empire weren't without controversy.
Mr. ASPER died yesterday at 71. A tax lawyer by training, he is more commonly known as the founder of Winnipeg-based CanWest the parent of the Global network of television stations, and which, in 2000, engineered a multibillion-dollar purchase of Southam Newspaper Group, National Post and other assets from Conrad BLACK's Hollinger Inc.
Glenn O'FARRELL, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters, said Mr. ASPER left a huge broadcasting legacy.
"The Canadian broadcasting system has been built over the last number of decades through the efforts of some fairly significant entrepreneurs, and Izzy ASPER was clearly one of those," Mr. O'FARRELL said. "He brought an incredibly astute vision of what could be done and what should be done in the name of strengthening Canada's place both domestically and internationally."
Mr. O'FARRELL worked at CanWest for 12 years and said working for Mr. ASPER was stimulating. "It was absolutely a privilege to work with somebody who possessed the depth and the breadth of his intellectual curiosity and interests."
Mr. ASPER also provoked controversy over the years with his views on Israel and his drive to converge news coverage at CanWest's newspapers.
In 2002, he fired Russell MILLS, publisher of the Ottawa Citizen, after an apparent conflict over editorial independence. At the time, CanWest forced papers across the chain to carry editorials written by officials in the company's head office. The policy sparked a barrage of complaints about a lack of editorial freedom at the papers. The removal of Mr. MILLS prompted a wave of protests against CanWest from Parliament to media organizations around the world. Mr. MILLS sued and reached a settlement with the company a few months later.
Mr. ASPER's staunch defence of Israel also left him open to charges that CanWest's papers do not fairly cover events in the Middle East. In a speech last year, he attacked media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and accused several media outlets of having an anti-Israel bias. He singled out coverage by CNN, The New York Times, British Broadcasting Corp. and Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and said anti-Israel bias was a "cancer" destroying media credibility.
He has often criticized the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. in particular for what he has called the broadcaster's anti-Israel coverage. Yesterday, a Canadian Broadcasting Corp. official declined to comment on Mr. ASPER's views.
Still, amid the controversy, Christopher DORNAN, director of Carleton University's School of Journalism and Communication, praised Mr. ASPER's role in Canadian journalism.
"We're still, in the entertainment area, overshadowed by the exports of the juggernaut to the south. What's really ours is non-fiction, it's journalism... in as much as Israel ASPER built CanWest into a major, major player in that sector, his contribution is clearly significant."
Added Mr. DORNAN: " There are uncharitable souls that would argue that CanWest's contribution to the Canadian cultural landscape was negligible.
"Because when CanWest built itself as a network, in the early days, it was known as The Love Boat Network -- all they did was buy cheap, populist American programming, got ratings and contributed very little to Canadian cultural production. They made very little programming of their own and what they did make was in grudging compliance with Canadian content regulations," he said.
Mr. DORNAN argued that the Canadian media industry is not about keeping the Americans at bay, but instead about funnelling in highly desired American content in the most advantageous way possible.
Mr. ASPER built a television network that now employs "people from network executives to janitors. Those jobs would not have existed had he not done that. And now, of course, they do actually make some programming," Mr. DORNAN said.
Vince CARLIN, chairman of the School of Journalism at Ryerson University in Toronto, agreed, noting that history books won't likely describe him as a great endorser of Canadian culture.
"That's not what he was about. He was a businessman," said Mr. CARLIN, the former head of Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Newsworld, who had met with Mr. ASPER on numerous occasions.
"He learned how to use those [business] skills to create very dynamic business enterprises, but [CanWest] would never put cultural considerations ahead of business considerations," Mr. CARLIN said.
He explained how in his company's early days, Mr. ASPER insisted to government officials that his chain of television stations was not a "network" but instead a "system," because being dubbed a network was less advantageous from a business perspective. When regulations shifted, Mr. ASPER changed gears, calling the stations a network, Mr. CARLIN said.
Mr. ASPER was also involved in a bitter legal battle with Robert LANTOS, a prominent Toronto-based filmmaker. Mr. ASPER sued Mr. LANTOS for libel over comments he made during a speech in 1998. In the speech, Mr. LANTOS described Mr. ASPER as "the forces of darkness, whose greed is surpassed only by their hypocrisy." Mr. ASPER said the comments left the impression he was dishonest and disloyal.

Popular Mediation Queensbury Questions Answered Here
Here are the most frequently asked question about divorce and divorce mediation option, so feel free to go through each of them to clear any doubt that you might have:
Q1: Can I get a divorce?
A: Divorce is only granted under very limited and special conditions and you need to be married to your spouse for more than a year. So, if you satisfy the different grounds of divorce then you will be able to file for a divorce.
Q2: Who will grant the divorce?
A: There is no other institution expect the court that can grant you a divorce. Your divorce case will be examined by the court, and the verdict of the judge will be the final word.
Q3: I don't want anyone to know that we are getting a divorce. Can I do it without going to the court?
A: Yes you can, as there are many "no court" divorce options (mainly confidential) which will allow you and your spouse to settle all the matters related to the divorce case in some other place expect the court. Here consulting with your lawyer will be helpful as they can tell you which option will be suitable according to your divorce case.
Q4: Can we both hire the same lawyer?
A: This is not allowed due to conflict of interest. You must go with separate solicitors if you want to go ahead with the divorce proceedings.
Q5: I don't want my children to suffer. What can I do?
A: When child custody and/or child support is involved with the divorce case, then things are not just about you and your spouse. You both have to come to an agreement that is beneficial for both of you and your children. The best way to resolve any problem is by taking help of the divorce mediation option.
Q6: What is this mediation option?
A: Mediation is generally required by the court in such divorce cases that are having problems with settling the matters effectively and smoothly. The mediation is conducted by a mediator who will help you and your spouse to talk about the issues that you are having. The mediator stays neutral and will aid both the parties without being bias to ensure that both parties can resolve the issue and legally end the marriage quickly, and without any sort of hard feelings.
Q7: Do I really need mediation when I already have a lawyer to help me?
A: Yes it is true that going with the mediation option is not a compulsory process in a divorce case. And your lawyer will be able to guide you through the divorce process. But, with the mediation option, you will be able to make all the decision yourself. And thus, you can control the issues according to your own wishes and needs. Besides, mediation is always cheaper, quicker, and of course, less stressful than going with a lawyer.
Q8: Will mediation save my marriage?
A: Only couples that are already separated and/or have already started the divorce proceedings can take the help of the mediation option. The mediation process can be explained as an out of the court divorce option and not a marriage counselling process. So no, it will not save your marriage, but it will most definitely make sure that the divorce process is conducted peacefully and successfully.
Q9: Do I have to represent myself when I will be communicating with the mediator?
A: There is no need to bring your lawyers when you will be communicating with a mediator. But, here it should be mentioned that you can bring them if you are not comfortable being alone. In fact, you can even bring other professionals (like financial specialist or divorce coach) who are helping you to have a smooth divorce proceeding.
Q10: What are the issues that I can discuss with the mediator and my spouse?
A: With mediation option, both your spouse and you can talk about any sort of matter that you cannot agree on. The most common issues that are covered by the mediation option during a divorce case are child maintenance or support, child custody and/or parenting time, distribution of property (both liabilities and assets) and issues related to retirement and taxes and such others.
Q11: Will going with mediation option be an expensive affair?
A: Firstly, you will have to attend the first meeting where everything related to the mediation process and the benefits you are getting through it will be explained. This is done so that you can take full advantage of this option for your divorce case. This meeting is also held in order to find out if you are eligible for public funding. If yes, then you do not have to pay anything. If you are not eligible for this, then you will be charged. But, do not worry as the charges are quite affordable.
Q12: How will the first meeting go? Will my spouse show up?
A: The first meeting does not go on for hours. The mediator will effectually explain everything and wrap up the meeting within 30 to 40 minutes. And no, the other party will not show up in your first meetings. The other party will have their very own first meeting in another day/time. But, if you and your spouse want to attend the meeting together then do know that something like that can be arranged.
Q13: How long do these mediation meetings last?
A: You can sit in a mediation meeting after you have received all the related information in the first (introduction) meeting. The meetings do not last for a long time. In case of an issue that is taking too much time to settle, you may have to sit in a meeting for 1 or 2 hours. But, if you and your spouse are co-operating, then the meeting may get ended quickly (30 minutes maximum). The meetings are only held during the day and time which suits both the parties.
Q14: Do I have to attend the full mediation process? What will happen if I don't want to anymore?
A: Besides being a confidential type of divorce option, the mediation option also happens to be flexible. Thus, it is a voluntary process and if you do not want to continue with it, then no one will force you to go through it

Inherited Disorders and Birth Defects
Genetic Disorders
How many babies are born with a genetic disorder? On the website it says 3-4%, but is this number national or international?
The number of 3-4% is the incidence of birth defects in the United States and higher income, more developed countries. The estimated incidence world wide according to the March of Dimes and World Health Organization is about 6%.
The following is a paragraph quoted from the executive summary of the March of Dimes Global report on birth defects (the website is listed below):
"Every year an estimated 7.9 million children—6 percent of total births worldwide—are born with a serious birth defect of genetic or partially genetic origin2. Additional hundreds of thousands more are born with serious birth defects of post-conception origin, including maternal exposure to environmental agents (teratogens) such as alcohol, rubella, syphilis and iodine deficiency that can harm a developing fetus."

Picklefactory 12:58 07 Dec 2012
As a young apprentice engineer, I was taught to always hit downwards, with the lead lump hammers we used, to tighten a machine vice.... good advice indeed.... which of course I ignored at 17 years old. These lead hammers weighed about 6lbs, I found out why the advice was so good when I struck upwards to loosen the vice, glanced off the vice handle and bashed myself in the mouth. Luckily for me, once the stars had subsided, I hadn't damaged myself other than my pride.
The 2nd daft thing about it was I still remember my thought process at the time
- Bash.... what the @#*% happened?
- Did anyone see me?????

The Rehnquist Court has revived Ronald Reagan's attempts to gut the New Deal, Great Society and civil rights laws enacted to help the have-nots of American society. Its weapon of choice has been the states' rights doctrine. Just as during the New Deal, when this doctrine was also invoked against the expansion of federal power that was used in the interests of ordinary people, the Rehnquist Court's seemingly neutral states' rights rhetoric and argumentation have been a fig leaf to cover up more tangible interests like race and money.
This is not new. Throughout our history, states' rights rhetoric has been used for regressive causes. It has been an especially favored strategy since the Civil War, because the two great transfers of power to the federal government at the expense of the states, at which this strategy has been aimed–the post-Civil War amendments and the New Deal–have also been reform movements threatening conservatives with respect to race and class.
The anti-Washington leader on the Court is Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Raised in a Roosevelt-hating family, he has been an archconservative since his earliest days. His first opportunity to strike at federal power came in 1976 in National League of Cities v. Usery, a case involving the 1974 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which extended minimum-wage and maximum-hours requirements to state and local governments. Cobbling together a 5-to-4 majority, he got the Court to strike down the 1974 extension.
For authority, Rehnquist looked to the Tenth Amendment, which provides that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution…are reserved to the states." The amendment does not, however, specify what is "reserved," so Rehnquist created a new doctrine based on the "policy" of the Tenth Amendment, which he said authorized the courts to prohibit the federal government from regulating the states' "traditional functions" if doing so "impaired their sovereignty" and "their ability to function effectively in a federal system."
The result was judicial confusion, as courts struggled with these vacuous criteria. After nine years, the Court overruled National League of Cities, but in 1990 the tide turned again. Avoiding constitutional issues, a 5-to-4 majority in Gregory v. Ashcroft interpreted a federal law banning age discrimination as not applying to state judges.
After Clarence Thomas joined Anthony Kennedy, Sandra Day O'Connor and Antonin Scalia on the Court in 1991, cementing the conservative majority, the constitutional assault on federal power went into high gear. The first target was a radioactive-waste-disposal statute, which was based on a compromise that the states themselves, including New York, had hammered out. The act imposed sanctions on those states that didn't implement the statute, and for this reason, the majority struck it down in New York v. United States (1992). Unable to rely on specific language in the Constitution, the majority used its own conception of the constitutional "framework" and "structure," and condemned the act for "commandeering" state officials to implement it, ignoring in the process numerous historical examples of state implementation of federal laws. "Accountability is…diminished" by such state enforcement, said Justice O'Connor for the Court, arguing that state officers who had to implement burdensome federal directives would be blamed for them. The argument is ludicrous–people in the radioactive-waste business knew the rules were set by the Feds. The Court used the same dubious "accountability" reasoning five years later in Printz v. United States to slap down the Brady gun control bill's requirement that local law enforcement officers check the backgrounds of prospective gun purchasers.

Several years ago while teaching a chairmaking class at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking, I thanked Mario Rodriguez (who was teaching a hand-tool class at the school that same week) for writing a magazine article I had seen some years before in which simple tenons had been substituted for sliding dovetails to join the legs of a period tripod table to its pedestal. The article, I explained, had been a revelation, allowing me to simplify the construction of these tables without losing any real strength. Mario very kindly pointed out that he had not written the article, nor did he know who had.
Despite my confusion over its authorship, the article had been a revelation, one that changed the way I built these tables and one that caused me to take a long-overdue look at the issue of joint-making excess.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan's parliament on Thursday rejected calls for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's resignation as unconstitutional despite massive anti-government protests just outside the assembly in the capital Islamabad.
The resolution, supported by nearly every opposition party, marked a defeat for cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and popular cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri, who have led weeklong protests from the eastern city of Lahore to the gates of parliament calling for Sharif's ouster over alleged voting fraud.
The assembly rejected the protesters' demands for Sharif's resignation and the dissolution of parliament, vowing to "uphold the supremacy of the constitution" and the "sovereignty of the parliament."
The U.S. Embassy appeared to support the assembly, saying "we strongly oppose any efforts to impose extra-constitutional change," while encouraging the parties to "resolve differences through peaceful dialogue in ways that strengthen Pakistan's democratic institutions and rule of law."
Khan accused Washington of taking sides in a speech before protesters, telling it not to back "stooges like Nawaz Sharif." Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, the third largest party in parliament, was not present for the vote.
The protests have been peaceful, but have raised tensions in the nuclear-armed country of 180 million people with a history of political turmoil and military dictatorships. Sharif's election last May marked the first democratic transfer of power since Pakistan was carved out of India in 1947.
After a request from the country's powerful military the government convened talks with Khan and Qadri's representatives early Thursday.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi, a senior leader of Khan's party, told reporters that in addition to Sharif's resignation, the opposition demanded electoral reforms, setting up a caretaker government, removing top election officials and accountability for anyone found to have rigged last year's elections.
Khan later pulled out of the talks, however, saying the appointment of a new police chief in Islamabad was a precursor to a crackdown on the protests. It was not immediately clear if Qadri would also withdraw from the talks.
The government denied it had any plans to confront the protesters, and insisted it was willing to discuss all issues except Sharif's resignation.
"We want to carry forward the talks," Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid said.
Sharif was forced from office after a previous stint as premier in 1999, when the then-army chief Pervez Musharraf seized power in a coup.

Can freezing actually improve a baked loaf?
Baked Reinhart's Pain de campagne (BBA 195). Not exactly my greatest Reinhart success: crust less than crackling, crumb too dense. But still tasty enough, especially when eaten fresh.
I baked two boules, one for now, one for later. "Later" was cooled thoroughly (maybe an hour and a half), put in a zip lock bag with the air squeezed out, and left in the freezer for 6-7 days.
Took the zip lock bag out last night, left in bag at room temperature overnight. When I cut a piece this morning I couldn' t believe how wonderful it tasted! Just the right chew, rich taste that I hadn't noticed in the unfrozen loaf. Better, I'd say, than when fresh.
Is it possible that the brief stay in the freezer somehow did some good? Or is it that between the two boules I ate a bread machine white bread (baked mostly for bread crumbs), and I simply noticed the contrast?

Crash leaves Hudson area without power
October 27. 2013 9:47PM
HUDSON — Police are investigating an accident where a car struck a utility pole early Sunday in Hudson, causing a power outage in the area.
Hudson police say a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer, driven by Kylee Boucher, 22, of Hudson drove off Barretts Hill Road at 12:08 a.m. and sheared a utility pole. The crash caused the utility pole to break at its base, knocking out power in the area. A section of Barretts Hill Road was closed as Public Service of New Hampshire crews worked to restore power.
Power remained out to the area for much of Sunday morning, though officials reported most, if not all, customers were back online by 3 p.m.
Boucher was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured, police said.
The crash remains under investigation by the Hudson police. Sgt. Michael Gosselin could not comment on whether alcohol or fatigue appear to be factors.

Post subject: Yeehaw!
This from the forecast tonite:
All the models had this pattern setting up Thursday night but as you noticed in my mid day update the marine surge arrived early and reached epic proportions.
Pattern continues at least through Saturday but may make it until Tuesday.
C'mon Tuesday!
I had totally written off today, but saw the surge and made it as far as Larkspur. I was hammered on a 5.0 for 3 hours. If this lasts until Tuesday, to borrow a phrase from professional baseball, I will need to skip a start.
I would love to hear from my Berkeley brethren, or even anyone who made it out to TI, what the conditions were like there. I was surely tempted, but as they say, never leave wind for more wind.

Berkeley was Berzerkeley today. Sailed early on around 1pm when the sensor was reading in the mid to high 20's... didn't look that great, so I rigged 5.4 and 99l, but then on the water reports started coming in, saying that it was actually really windy, so I went out on 90 and 4.7. Unfortunately, I was pretty underpowered, and the water was super choppy. Pretty much a crappy session, and just to cap it off, we all had to swim in when the wind seemed to turn NW and shut off on the inside. So, we had to resort to drinking beer.
A couple hours later, the wind seemed to make a comeback, and I went back out on the same gear, although this time I was pretty damn powered. I could have been on a smaller board and sail easy, but 4.7 and 90l was still fun. The water seemed to have calmed down quite a bit too, and there was some really nice swell. Wind stayed solid all the way until and past dark. In fact, Wyatt and his dad and one other sailor came back in the dark... about an hour after sunset... probably around 8:45 or so. Really nice second session after a crappy beginning session. Redemption was sweet.

Be sure to check out the extended forecast since there is a radical change from last night for Saturday-Monday. Today, Friday, the marine surge will start start out epic but slowly weaken during the day. Then, if all available data is correct, all the factors making this wind abruptly depart from the scene overnight. So there is a very good chance the marine surge ends tonight.
This time of year all the parts of the weather machine become even less predictable than normal as the season transitions. So take the fall forecasts with a larger than normal dose to salt water.

The Channel at Larkspur was Gorge -Like, solid 3.5-4.0 with mini rollers, no wonder everybody was staying inside.

Post subject: something seriously the matter with the Earth's climate
I guess I was totally faked out yesterday -- great sensor readings, starting around 2:00 pm I started flipping between the Berkeley Cam and the Exploratorium Cam...it looked like pure shit. Finally, I couldn't stand it and rode home (on my bike) through Marina Bay and the bike bath. PI was ~15 at that time and Angel Island ~30 -- there should have been major whitecaps out there...instead nothing, maybe 5 knots. A little more at the Bulb -- one lone kiter, but it looked like nothing...so I went home to work on my deck

I went to the gym to lift for three hours based on yesterdays dismal forecast. Imagine my surprise to come home, turn on the computer, and WOW averaging 27 at TI and gusts to 39 at Angel. OOPS! When I got to Crissy guys were rigging down to 4.5. Went out on 4.6, 80L wave board, and I am 180lbs. Light on the inside but lit, and I do mean lit, between the north tower and yellow bluff, with clean rollers, could have been on 4.2 for the first hour and a half.
I use a sail smaller than 5.0 at Crissy a handful of times a year. And find it EXCEPTIONLY unlikely that I will sail lit 4.6 every day until Tuesday.

Yep Bezerkeley was off the chart on Thursday. I went there and watched people come in "complaining" of being overpowered one second and in a huge lull the next. So I went with a 4.7/84l combo and rigged up. Well THEN it backed off (before I got in the water). So a bunch of us did the dance on the shore watching the wind for over an hour as it went up and down (while looking at TI in the 30 mph range!). Finally it felt solid so we went out. Well I was grossly overpowered on my rig. I figure a 3.7 or 4.2 with my 75l board would have been about perfect (I weigh in the 175 range!). After hanging on for a while I came in before getting hurt
Everybody I talked to the next day was still talking about it....
Oh yeah, a warning. Be careful rigging in the parking lot. One guy was rigging up on a grass island between some cars and a gust came through the parking lot (at HS Lordships) and flipped his sail up in the air and slammed it onto the hood of somebody's car (causing a nice dent). So I'm sure that was not a "cheap" session for him.....
That was one very wild session.

Also, on Wednesday, (not thursday) there was some nasty sewage bubbling up through the manhole cover by Lordships and pooling around the parking lot. Gross.

I bought an S3 a month or so ago to take to Japan on a trip. Mightily impressed I have to say.
I took quite a bit of video [bought some 4Gb SD cards on ebay], set at the highest setting 640x480 - 30 fps.
Can anyone please suggest the best way to convert the avi to mpeg 2. I am in Australia. We use the PAL system, 720 x 540.
I used TMPEnc on a sample but it took ages to complete. I am surprised there isn't software with the camera!
Anyway, all suggestions gratefully accepted.

I stopped following all the patent trolling in the mobile industry months ago because, you know, I have a life, but apparently some big ruling just got handed down in the United States: using three software patents, a patent troll from Cupertino has been given an injunction on Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, imposing a ban on the device. This patent trolling has to stop, blah, blah, we've all been here before. If you need me, I'll be over there on the sofa remembering the good old days when Cupertino was famous for great products, instead of infamous for its patent troll.

Carpet manufacturers design their products to disguise dirt and what might appear to be a clean carpet will often be laden with dirt. Sand and grit can cause considerable damage to your carpet if they are left in the fibers. By hiring professional cleaners you can ensure the invisible deeper soils are thoroughly removed and disposed of safely. The benefits of having your carpets professionally cleaned is to ensure your investment appears as fresh and bright as when you first laid them.

Sacramento Carpet Cleaning Services are also able to help assess your carpet and take proper care of your investment. Another welcome aspect of steam cleaning is that any undesirable stains will be removed and are less likely to remain as a dirty residue.

Having clean carpets can prevent young children and adults with asthma, eczema and other allegories suffering from excessive dust, germs or pet hair.

Routine carpet cleaning should be considered part of a healthy lifestyle.

Sunday Carpet Cleaning in Sacramento
Fleas are insects without wings. They actually suck the blood from all types of animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, rats, and even humans!
Once you are bitten by insects, the bite can swell and become very painful as well as itchy. Fleas can be very annoying even if they do not bite! If you happen to be allergic to insects, they can cause painful rashes.
The good news is they really do not live very long once they are within carpets because they need to live off of a living host. If you have fleas in your carpeting, make it your priority to get eliminate them asap for both you and your pets' health sake.
I compiled a list on how to get rid of fleas from your carpet. Read on.
First of all, fleas that are in your carpet are tough to see with the naked eye. They thrive on living in dark areas that are moist like behind furniture or behind doors. Look on both sides of your carpeting to find these creatures.
1. Use Your Vacuum Sweeper
Suck them out of your carpet before they suck the blood out of you or your pets! Look closely within the corners and seams of your sofas because they are great hiding places for these guys.
2. Wash Every Carpet
If you have whole house carpeting, you may want to call a Professional Carpet Cleaning Company. If you are tackling small individual carpets yourself, remember not all of them are sucked up by your vacuum sweeper. Make it your ritual to wash your carpets in hot water with lots of soap. Steam carpet cleaning your individual carpets is also a good way to terminate all the carpet fleas that your sweeper didn't pick up.
3. Try Using Boric Acid
Boric acid is very deadly against many types of insects. The best thing going for this chemical is that it kills a variety of insects but at the same time it is totally safe for humans.
4. Eliminate Any Old Fabrics.
Sometimes fleas will be very clinging and stick onto your scattered rugs and even your old clothes. Make sure you rid your house of these fabrics.
5. Kill Them With Insect Spray
Purchase a special spray to spray on your furniture, your carpets, and floor boards throughout your house.
6. Regularly Check Your Carpets
It's important to inspect your carpets regularly if you have many dogs and cats at home.
7. Bathe Your Pets Regularly.
Ensure that they stay clean and free from parasites.
8. Try Using Salt.
A number of people actually sprinkle salt all over their carpets in order to kill flea eggs. Sprinkle the salt on the areas of the carpet where you remember seeing carpet fleas. Wait approximately 24 hours before using your vacuum sweeper. You can even try using boric acid in combination with that salt in order to ensure that the parasites are all killed.
9. Treat Your Pets at the Same Time that You Treat Your Carpet.
Some pet owners use Dawn Dish Detergent to bath them.
10. Remember to Correctly Dispose Your Sweeper Bag.
Dispose it into a secured trash bag. You can even add borax. Also add diatomaceous earth (DE) to your vacuum bag to assist in killing the fleas.
11. Keep Your House Clean.
These carpet fleas will leave on their own if they can't get any nourishment while there.
Who Does Carpet And Sofa Cleaning in Sacramento?
Many people have turned to dry carpet cleaning to clean their carpets. It offers many advantages to steam cleaning. It dries much faster and is less prone to stains wicking back. One way in which you can have your carpets dry cleaned is to rent a dry cleaning machine. Learn about this process and learn how to successfully clean your carpets the dry way.
The first step is to rent the dry cleaning machine. Look in your phone book or do an online search for "Host Dry Cleaning". You should easily find a store where you can rent the machine. It is a small machine with counter rotating nylon brushes. You will also need to pick up a bottle of pre-clean and a box of absorbent sponges. It should run you around $60 for the machine rental and supplies.
Once you have the machine home the fun begins. First you need to vacuum your carpet thoroughly. Do not rush through this. Go slowly and do a good job. Next you will spray a small area (10 foot by 10 foot) lightly with the pre-clean that you have bought. It will help break down and loosen the soil. After spraying this solution, sprinkle some of the absorbent sponges onto the carpet. not too much, a few handfuls will do. Next turn the machine on and go over the carpeting. Run the machine north to south and then east to west. Do not linger in one spot for too long or you could abrade the carpet fibers. After you have thoroughly agitated the powder you need to let the carpe dry. It usually doesn't take more than 15 to 30 minutes to dry. After it dries you simply vacuum it up and you are done. Congratulations you now have clean carpet.
As you can see, carpet dry cleaning is not a difficult process. Just take your time and do not skip any steps. Most places will have a video available with the machine which will demonstrate the process. be sure to grab one of them if it is available. Good luck.
