10 Tips for Public SpeakingFriday, January 03, 2014
If one of your goals for this year is to do more public speaking, either nationally or in your local association chapters, here are ten tips culled from my experiences in public speaking over the past fourteen years:
1. If you start with small-talk pleasantries, or a thank you to the event hosts, you've already lost the audience's attention. Get right into your presentation and send a thank you gift later.
2. Don't mention the clock.
3. If you include imagery from your portfolio, it should be in support of your point. No one cares about your portfolio otherwise.
3.5 Seriously, though. No one cares.
4. Do your homework and know your audience. Ask for the attendee list ahead of time and then review the attendees' websites and social media profiles. People at conferences are often surprised that I know who they are before meeting them. It's not an accident, it comes from hours of extra work on my part.
5. If you're citing examples of great companies, use the work of the people in the room, where possible. This focuses attention and increases ownership in your talk on the part of the audience members. It's also a way to honor the people who made the decision to invest in this particular event and in hearing you speak.
6. No more than ten words on a slide. Ever. If you can get away with fewer, even better.
7. For the ladies, if your skirt is shorter than just above your knee, people can see up it when you're on stage -- especially if you're seated for a panel. Attendees may be too polite to tell you, but they WILL talk about it later. Also, when possible, get your hair professionally blown out. Yes, people should focus on the content over your appearance, but we're human and we don't. If you look sloppy, people are going to assume (even subconsciously) that you're a sloppy thinker and tune you out.
8. Ruthlessly edit. The point is not to condense everything you know into one presentation. Pick a thesis and then throw out everything else that doesn't fit, regardless of how funny, poignant or inspirational it is.
9. Wear appropriate shoes. Flip-flops are not appropriate.
10. There are a lot of books on public speaking out there, but the best one is Confessions of a Public Speaker by Scott Berkun.

A great rice side that's easy to put together and gluten-free too. Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap November 2012
I scaled this back for 3 serves and used SunRise long grain wholemeal rice which is low GI for dietary reasons (first time I have used It). The packet directions said 20 to 30 minutes by the absorbtion method and they where spot on with 30 minutes and I had a nutty flavour rice which when mixed with the dried fruits (I used apricots and sultanas) and oops forgot to toast the alaonds but only had 1/2 as much as what was needed so the nuttiness of the brown rice I think set that off. Thank you AZPARZYCH, made for Please REview My Recipe.

What is Lean Data Management?
An approach to manage ERP data in your enterprise through the use of lean applications that streamline data collection, data validation and data movement. Utilizing existing investments, these lean applications are built iteratively in short cycle times by business or IT teams working in close collaboration with end-users.
How large is your data management tax?
Companies invest in SAP ERP to run their businesses more effectively. However, every ERP system relies on the accuracy of the data being loaded into the systems in the first place. With the explosion in data growth rates, effective data management requires much more than IT's management of system storage – it requires tools and methods that the business can use to create and manage transactional and master data. Effective data management must become the responsibility of every user touching the ERP system. All of the work associated with collecting, validating and moving data into the system, creates a data management "tax." This tax will increase exponentially over time as the amount of data grows.
The tax is twofold:
Direct cost: Throughout the business large numbers of users are spending numerous hours a day dealing with manual ERP data entry and transcription work. That is a lot of people time committed to a data "tax" overhead and the price of unproductive time is high.
Indirect cost: You can never eliminate human errors and manual work does not scale, so more and more delays and errors will creep into your data maintenance and creation activities. Delayed or distorted strategic decisions based on inaccurate data lead to overlooked waste and high costs, missed new product and business development opportunities, and poor long-term investments.
Why Winshuttle Lean Data Management?
Winshuttle's platform has been architected to collect, validate and integrate data into SAP ERP systems in a rapid manner without compromising security or governance. Most software vendors in the ERP data management space are focused on big solutions that often take 12-18 months to deploy. While these big solutions are important and have a significant place in a corporate IT stack, Winshuttle's Lean Data Management platform focuses on solutions that can be developed and deployed in weeks which means business processes can be easily adapted to changes in the business environment. Winshuttle's rapid deployment capabilities allow business analysts to accelerate continuous improvement initiatives and take a more active role in process optimization without requiring costly external resources.
Reduce waste by optimizing the data
Winshuttle's core capabilities to build workflow-enabled SAP ERP processes include:
- Data Collection and Process Automation
- Data Validation
- Data Movement and Integration
- Security and Governance
Winshuttle's unique lean solutions delegate ownership and maintenance of data back to the business, increasing IT bandwidth and maximizing the velocity of SAP ERP data management and process automation.

Over the past month or so, I've posted several articles talking about some of the end-of-year tasks for practices — finalize your budget, finalize your holiday closing schedule for 2008, meet with your accountant and financial advisor, and prepare your business/operational plan for 2008. With three business days remaining in the year, here are a few of the very last-minute items you need to complete:
1. Spend: If you are on a cash basis, paying bills raises deductible expenses for 2007 and lowers the final tax bill. However, if you expect revenue and profit to be significantly higher in 2008, you may want to postpone payments until January. This, dear friends, is a topic for that year-end planning meeting with your accountant that I talked about.
2. Pre-pay expenses (rent, subscriptions): Again, this helps raise your deductible expenses.
3. Distribute profits (as needed): This is a real tax-related question. If you have not spoken with your tax advisor yet, pick up the phone RIGHT
4. Plan cash reserve to start the year: When making distributions, do not leave the practice without enough cash to operate. Payroll has to be made, and there is no sense in having to borrow money, even for a short period of time, to do so.
5. Retirement contributions: Depending on the plan, you may have some time to make the 2007 contribution. This, too, is an accountant/financial advisor question.
Finish up the day, and enjoy the weekend. My best wishes to all for a Happy New Year!

State of New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division Third Judicial Department
November 10, 2011
IN THE MATTER OF RALEIGH MADDOX, APPELLANT,v.BRIAN FISCHER, AS COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION, ET AL., RESPONDENTS.
Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court (McGrath, J.), entered January 7, 2011 in Albany County, which, in a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, granted respondents' motion to dismiss the petition.
Calendar Date: September 28, 2011
Before: Spain, J.P., Lahtinen, Malone Jr., Stein and Egan Jr., JJ.
Petitioner commenced the instant proceeding by order to show cause challenging a prison disciplinary determination finding him guilty of lost property. The order to show cause provided that the order, petition, exhibits and supporting affidavits were to be served by ordinary first class mail upon respondents and the Attorney General on or before February 12, 2010. Petitioner, thereafter, failed to serve the papers upon either respondents or the Attorney General. Respondents, in turn, moved to dismiss the proceeding for lack of personal jurisdiction. Supreme Court granted the motion and this appeal ensued.
We affirm. Petitioner's failure to comply with the service requirements pursuant to the order to show cause required the dismissal of the proceeding for lack of personal jurisdiction absent a demonstration by petitioner that his imprisonment presented an obstacle to his compliance (see Matter of Gantt v Lape, 83 AD3d 1349 [2011]; Matter of Arlington v New York State Div. of Parole, 79 AD3d 1501 [2010]). Accordingly, Supreme Court properly granted respondents' motion and dismissed the petition.
Spain, J.P., Lahtinen, Malone Jr., Stein and Egan Jr., JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs.

Initiated as a PR experiment in 2006, social media press release writing is radically changing the world of public relations. Traditionally, companies have used the press report as the main tool to announce important news to the industry and the general public. However, press reports have always been restricted to print media. Lately, the tremendous success of web journalism, blogging and social networking has created a huge sector and audience that is untapped by conventional releases.
Although the mainstream report can be a very powerful marketing tool, it has some disadvantages. First of all, it's very time consuming and highly labor intensive. In addition, most reports end up becoming so overly hyped, that they're ultimately not taken seriously by the public or target recipients.
To address these and several other issues, a journalist proposed a new type of release that would make much better use of the web technology that millions of people utilize today. Enter: social media releases (henceforth referred to as "SMRs").
The SMR Advantage
While we may not witness the demise of press reports for several years to come, SMRs offer various benefits that their older and more orthodox counterparts cannot achieve. Since SMRs are within the realm of the web, they are capable of reaching out to far more people than an average newspaper can.
What's more, they are able to accomplish this feat at a fraction of the cost that a company would incur for a comparable print campaign. In addition, since Social Media Marketing releases are essentially just neatly packaged information kits, there's more scope for blogger and journalists to make creative adaptations. This in turn allows for more variety to reach the final reader.
So You Want To Write An SMR, Huh?
SEO Article Writing services is very simple. The pointers below will let you make one with the most popular and widely-used format, in just a matter of minutes.
• Contact Information (At The Very Top Of The Page): This includes names of contact personnel, phone numbers, email addresses, websites and even postal addresses, if you choose to mention it.
• Important Facts: The actual information about a new branch, product or service launch, and quarterly performance results. Usually presented in a bullet-list format.
• Quotes, if applicable: What the relevant company officials, analysts, critics or clients have been saying about the development.
• Media Material: Photos of the product, pictures of top company or launch officials, company logos, other related audio or video.
• Links: Links to other related news items or pertinent discussions on bookmarking sites, networking sites, top blogs, podcast, and track backs and comments.
• Syndication: Links to RSS/Atom feed content so that interested individuals can follow all developments on the topic.
There you have it- your complete guide to effective social media press release writing.

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.JOHN W. BROWN, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Cape May County, Indictment Nos. 0473-72; 0474-72; and 0475-72.
Submitted January 7, 2009
Before Judges Axelrad, Lihotz and Messano.
Defendant John Brown appeals from an order denying his application for post-conviction DNA testing, his third post-conviction relief (PCR) petition. Defendant presents the following issue for our consideration:
In light of our review of the record, the arguments of the parties presented in their briefs and the applicable legal standards, we affirm.
Following a jury trial, defendant was found guilty of two counts of felony murder, N.J.S.A. 2A:113-1, and N.J.S.A. 2A:113-2, and one count of armed robbery, N.J.S.A. 2A:141-1, and N.J.S.A. 2A:151-5, in connection with the robbery of a gas station and the murder of the station attendant, Kenneth McGuire, as well as the murder of the Chief of Police, Phillip DeSantis, who pursued defendant after he fled from the gas station. The armed robbery count merged into the felony murder count and defendant was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences on the two murder convictions. On direct appeal, we affirmed defendant's conviction and sentence. State v. Brown, No. A-2920-73 (App. Div. February 24, 1976). Defendant's petition for certification was denied. State v. Brown, 71 N.J. 333 (1976).
In his pro se petition "for post-conviction DNA testing," defendant argued he was entitled to have a DNA testing procedure conducted on the blood spots found in his car driven on the day of the murders, pursuant to Rule 3:20-2. Specifically, defendant suggests the State relied upon the blood evidence at trial to secure his conviction. At that time, the blood spots were typed only due to the lack of available sophisticated DNA testing. In his PCR petition, defendant argued current DNA testing would conclusively prove the source of the blood, and, if it belonged to another, that fact would support his innocence.
On July 14, 2005, a hearing was held on defendant's PCR petition. The PCR judge recited the reasons for denying defendant's PCR petition as follows:
[T]he Appellate Division in their opinion [affirming defendant's conviction] . . . said the following[:]
"After a careful review of this matter we conclude this appeal is clearly without merit. The evidence against the defendant was nothing less than overwhelming so that even if there had been an error at trial . . . [it] would have been harmless beyond any doubt."
And it is apparent . . . that the multiple identifications of the defendant, circumstantial evidence, I guess, of the commission of the crimes, but the multiple identifications of the defendant established the overwhelming evidence in addition to the dying statement made by one of the victims.
Because the evidence was so overwhelming, because identification was simply not a close call or a significant issue as required by the statute, first I deny the defendant's application for the taking of DNA evidence. I think it's prudent for the State to follow through on its inquiry to determine whether or not material is even available at this late juncture that could be analyzed, but the motion is denied. The statutory requirement, the initial and most significant one has not been met, that being that identification be a significant issue. It is not. The proofs were overwhelming and that has been . . . both direct and for post-conviction relief.
On appeal, defendant argues the PCR judge failed to properly apply the threshold requirements for DNA testing set forth in N.J.S.A. 2A:84A-32a(a)(1). Particularly, defendant argues the court misconstrued the meaning of "identity as a significant issue," N.J.S.A. 2A:84A-32a(d)(3), and erred in concluding defendant failed to establish "the requested DNA testing result would raise a reasonable probability that if the results were favorable to the defendant, a motion for a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence would be granted," N.J.S.A. 2A:84A-32a(d)(5).
The statute relied upon by defendant was enacted in 2002, following his conviction. N.J.S.A. 2A:84A-32a allows one convicted of a crime who is serving a term of imprisonment to move for forensic DNA testing of evidence probative of guilt or innocence. State v. Peterson, 364 N.J. Super. 387, 390 (App. Div. 2003). In order to obtain relief, a defendant must:
(a) explain why the identity of the defendant was a significant issue in the case;
(b) explain in light of all the evidence, how if the results of the requested DNA testing are favorable to the defendant, a motion for a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence would be granted;
(c) explain whether DNA testing was done at any prior time, whether the defendant objected to providing a biological sample for DNA testing, and whether the defendant objected to the admissibility of the DNA testing evidence at trial. If evidence was subjected to DNA or other forensic testing previously by either the prosecution or the defense, the court shall order the prosecution or defense to provide all parties and the court with access to the laboratory reports, underlying data and laboratory notes prepared in connection with the DNA testing;
(d) make every reasonable attempt to identify both the evidence that should be tested and the specific type of DNA sought; and
(e) include consent to provide a biological sample for DNA testing. [N.J.S.A. 2A:84A-32a(a)(1).]
However, a motion for DNA testing shall not be granted unless, after a hearing, the court determines the following eight criteria have been established:
(1) the evidence to be tested is available and in a condition that would permit the DNA testing that is requested in the motion;
(2) the evidence to be tested has been subject to a chain of custody sufficient to establish it has not been substituted, tempered with, replaced or altered in any material aspect;
(3) the identity of the defendant was a significant issue in the case;
(4) the convicted person has made a prima facie showing that the evidence sought to be tested is material to the issue of the convicted person's identity as the offender;
(5) the requested DNA testing result would raise a reasonable probability that if the results were favorable to the defendant, a motion for a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence would be granted. The court in its discretion may consider any evidence whether or not it was introduced at trial;
(6) the evidence sought to be tested meets either of the following conditions:
(a) it was not tested previously;
(b) it was tested previously, but the required DNA test would provide results that are reasonably more discriminating and probative of the identity of the offender or have a reasonable probability of contradicting prior test results;
(7) the testing requested employs a method generally accepted within the relevant scientific community; and
(8) the motion is not made solely for the purpose of delay. [N.J.S.A. 2A:84A-32a(d).]
Defendant argues the identity of the murderer was the issue before the jury, thus he has satisfied N.J.S.A. 2A:34A-32a(d)(3). He maintains the PCR judge applied an incorrect standard of review, as she relied on the volume of the State's identity evidence.
During defendant's trial, the State presented extensive identity evidence. Two witnesses testified defendant waited on them at the gas station at 4:15 a.m. on the night McGuire was stabbed. They saw McGuire lying on the ground and defendant told them to leave. When McGuire was discovered following the stabbing, he identified defendant's photograph prior to entering surgery. As to DeSantis, who also was stabbed, the police found DeSantis' radio log in his police car, which contained a written description of defendant. The description was broadcasted over the police scanner. Another officer called to report he saw defendant bent over DeSantis' body as he drove past the Police Chief's car. That officer described a white Buick parked in front of DeSantis' police car. The officer was familiar with defendant because he knew him from town. The police found the gas station cash register abandoned within a mile and a half of DeSantis' body and, a short distance thereafter, the defendant's white Buick. In the back seat of the Buick was the register tape from the gas station. Two witnesses related defendant's jail admissions regarding the stabbings. Finally, Wells, a friend of defendant, testified he was with defendant on the evening of the stabbings. Wells stated defendant revealed his intention to rob the gas station and he declined defendant's request that he participate.
The proofs necessary to establish whether the identity of the defendant was a "significant issue" in the case were analyzed in Peterson, supra, 364 N.J. Super. at 394. In Peterson, we explained N.J.S.A. 2A:84A-32a(d)(3) "does not specify that the identification of the defendant as the perpetrator must have been established by any particular form of evidence." Id. at 395. Additionally, "the strength of evidence against a defendant is not a relevant factor in determining whether his identity as the perpetrator was a significant issue." Id. at 396. Rather,
[t]he underlying objective of N.J.S.A. 2A:84-32a - to provide an opportunity for exoneration of an innocent person through the testing of evidence by a highly reliable scientific methodology that was not available at the original trial-may be served in any case where there is a genuine question concerning the identity of the perpetrator. Therefore, we conclude that the requirement of N.J.S.A. 2A:84A-32a(d)(3) that "identity" must have been a "significant issue" at defendant's trial before post-conviction DNA testing will be ordered does not turn on the form of evidence the State relied upon to prove the perpetrator's identity.
[Id. at 395.]
Although we agree identity was a "significant issue" at defendant's trial, we nevertheless conclude the PCR petition was properly denied. Defendant has failed to make "a prima facie showing that the evidence sought to be tested is material to the issue of [his] identity as the offender," and to explain how the DNA results, if they show what defendant suggests, "would raise a reasonable probability that . . . a motion for a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence would be granted." N.J.S.A. 2A:84-32a(d)(4) and (5). Simply stated, we cannot draw the connection suggested by defendant that Wells was involved in the stabbing of DeSantis, if the blood spots found in defendant's Buick matched Wells' DNA. Moreover, we fail to comprehend how the evidence acts to exonerate defendant.
In Peterson, supra, the challenged forensic evidence was used to identify the defendant as the perpetrator (e.g., hairs found on the victim, semen found on the outside of the victim's clothing and blood under the victim's fingernails). 364 N.J. Super. at 392. In this matter, the blood, by typing, was shown to belong to someone other than the victims. As a result, the blood found in defendant's car was not used as evidence of defendant's guilt. In fact, there is no mention of a relationship between the blood spots and the crimes. Therefore, the evidence sought to be tested is immaterial to the issue of defendant's identity as the offender in the robbery and murders. N.J.S.A. 2A:84-32a(d)(4).
Defendant maintains DNA testing would verify Wells' involvement. We disagree. Wells' possible role in the crimes was available for development at trial. In his testimony, Wells admitted he and defendant were together in defendant's car for several hours before the gas station robbery and McGuire's stabbing. Wells claimed he separated from defendant prior to the robbery. Thus, evidence of Wells' complicity was presented to the jury.
Defendant does not now allege Wells was the perpetrator, but merely suggests the blood could belong to Wells. Accepting defendant's speculation, i.e., the blood spots came from Wells, such evidence fails to support a theory that Wells stabbed the victims and, more importantly, does not sever defendant's connections to the crimes. We conclude defendant has failed to explain how possible newly discovered DNA evidence results would favor the grant of a new trial. N.J.S.A. 2A:84-32a(d)(5).
For those reasons, we conclude defendant has not satisfied the necessary showing pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:84-32a(d)(4) and (5). Accordingly, defendant's PCR petition was properly denied.

Common Health Problems for Pet Snakes
Signs of a Healthy Snake
Snakes are pretty simple to keep as pets, which makes them very attractive to the reptile owner. They require minimal handling, feeding, and overall care, which is a plus in many people's books.
Pet snakes are also usually pretty robust and healthy, but like all animals, they are subject to several common health conditions, even if you keep them in optimal conditions.
Remember that depending on what species of snake you keep, the husbandry and overall care are going to vary, so make sure that you fully understand the husbandry of the particular snake species you have. Proper husbandry and care can be the biggest factor in preventing health concerns, although not eliminating them 100%.
First, you'll want to be aware of the signs of a healthy snake, which include:
- Clear eyes
- Clear nose and mouth
- Rounded and full body
- Alertness and activity
- Regular eating
- Healthy skin
Next, understand common signs of health issues:
- Wrinkled or rubbed skin
- Vomiting
- Discharge in nose or mouth
- Lethargy
- Abnormal feces or urine
- Decreased appetite
Here are the common illnesses of snakes, in alphabetical order.
Abscesses are generally caused by a previous injury that gets infected by bacteria. An abscess usually appears as a lump that protrudes from underneath the skin and sometimes extends into the internal organs. Abscesses are commonly confused with tumors, un-laid eggs, or constipation. Leave it to an experienced vet to determine whether the lump is truly an abscess. If it is, let the veterinarian treat it, which tends to involve lancing and draining the abscess, with at least one follow-up appointment for cleaning and changing the dressing. The vet may also opt to treat the abscess with an antibiotic.
Blister Disease
Blister disease can be avoided with proper husbandry. Fluid-filled blisters will usually form on the underside of a snake housed in a dirty, moldy, or overly moist substrate. Blisters may be few at first, but then quickly grow in number and become life-threatening, especially if they spread near the mouth, nose, or cloaca.
The best treatment is to prevent blister disease from developing. Keep the substrate clean and dry. Make sure to remove feces and urates. Change the bedding frequently.
You can treat one or two blisters at home by sterilizing a needle and piercing the blister; use a clean cotton swab or a bandage to absorb the fluid. Make sure to swab the blisters twice a day with betadine or hydrogen peroxide, and apply an antibiotic ointment. House the snake in a quarantine tank on paper towels until the blisters have healed.
If there are multiple blisters, or the blisters are in sensitive areas, consult a reputable vet as soon as possible.
Depending on the size of your snake and his metabolism rate, it may take longer than you expect for him to complete the digestion process, but if you notice that his defecation schedule is way off, your snake may be constipated. A constipated snake may appear bloated and lethargic and have a decreased appetite. Make sure to check the cage thoroughly just to make sure that you didn't miss anything. If you are sure there are no feces in the enclosure, you'll want to soak the snake in warm water for about 15 minutes a day. Usually, the warm water will stimulate excretion; if not, and you notice that your snake is swelling in the abdominal area, you'll want to visit a vet as soon as possible.
Built-up feces can become so impacted that surgery may be the only option to keep the snake from dying. You snake may have ingested a foreign object which could be blocking him from defecating.
Cuts and Abrasions
Treat any type of cut on your snake just as you would on yourself. Keep it clean and put a small dab of antibiotic ointment once a day until the wound has healed. You can try to bandage the snake, although this may be nearly impossible; you may want to consider a waterproof band-aid. Not all cuts need a bandage. Set the snake up in a quarantine tank with paper towels so that nothing can irritate the wound.
Try to find out what cut the snake, so that you can prevent it from happening again. If it was a rostral abrasion, caused by the snake rubbing his face on the wire of the cage while trying to escape the enclosure, you want to either cover the screen or change the type of enclosure you're using. The other common cause of a cut or abrasion is rat bite, so switch to frozen feeders or pre-killed food.
Inclusion Body Disease
IBD is probably one of the most serious diseases of captive snakes. It is only found in the boid family, and most common in Burmese pythons and boa constrictors. Although the signs are varied, you'll want to look for neurological disturbances (such as not righting itself when on its back, "star-gazing," unresponsiveness, regurgitation, asymmetrical dilation of pupils, and paralysis) and for tumors and other illnesses. If you think that your snake has IBD, isolate it immediately and consult a reptile vet as soon as possible. Although there isn't any treatment for the disease, you need to quarantine the snake away from other snakes and either bleach or discard the enclosure so not to pass the disease to other snakes. This illness is just one of many reasons to quarantine new snakes for at least 90 days.
Internal Parasites
Usually, you'll encounter internal parasites among wild-caught individuals. A snake can pick up internal parasites from its prey or from contact with another infected reptile. This is another great reason to quarantine new individuals. Common signs of internal parasites include regurgitation, lack of appetite, and an overall unwell appearance. If you think that your snake has parasites, take a fecal sample to your vet. He may prescribe a treatment or refer you to an over-the-counter worm treatment for cats and dogs. But NEVER use these without the supervision of a reptile vet.
Mites and Ticks
Mites will appear as tiny, fast-moving dots on the outside of your snake and within his enclosure, and can be either red, black, or white. Getting rid of mites is a bit complicated. Soak the snake in a warm bath for a few hours, or until you are sure that all the mites have fallen off and drowned. While you wait, completely disinfect the enclosure and everything that you had inside it. You may have to do this a few times before you are able to successfully get rid of the mites.
Ticks are larger, and usually fewer in number; they tend to remain attached to the snake's body, usually buried between the scales. The safest way of removing ticks is to smear petroleum jelly thickly over the entire tick, especially the head, as this will suffocate it enough to make it let go of the snake. Don't remove a tick with tweezers because you could 1) damage the snake's skin or 2) leave the head still attached, which leaves the snake open to infection.
Regurgitation is commonly caused by stress, handling too soon after a meal, improper husbandry, or an undiagnosed illness. Wait at least two days after feeding your snake before you try to handle it; moving it from a feeding cage to its permanent cage is fine, but do nothing else. Make sure that your snake has a nice warm spot to lie in after eating, to aid digestion; low temperatures can cause regurgitation. Food that is too large is also commonly regurgitated, so make sure not to feed prey items that are larger than the girth of the snake.
If you think that your snake may have some other illness, take him to a vet. You shouldn't take regurgitation lightly, especially if your snake has regurgitated his meals on multiple occasions, as this can lead to a psychological problem that causes the snake to avoid that particular type of food.
Respiratory Illness
For the most part, respiratory illnesses can be prevented as long as you follow proper husbandry requirements and provide a clean, warm, stress-free environment. But, if you notice signs of coughing, wheezing, open-mouth breathing, runny nose, clicking noises when breathing, and lethargy, a respiratory illness may be the cause. In this case, immediately raise the temperature in the enclosure to stimulate the proper immune responses, move the snake to a quiet room (if it's in a busy area of the house) away from other snakes or reptiles, setting it up in a quarantine enclosure with paper towels. If it's a minor infection or illness, the snake may overcome it on its own; otherwise, if the condition worsens, consult your vet as soon as possible.
Shedding Problems (Retained Eyecaps or Tail)
When there are shedding concerns, usually hydration is the problem. If the snake is not properly hydrated he may suffer retained skin on his eyecaps or tail. Make sure that you raise the humidity at the first sign that your snake is going to shed. When you notice that your snake's eyes are turning a blue shade, either 1) mist the enclosure twice daily, 2) put a larger water bowl in the enclosure, or 3) begin soaking the snake in warm water once a day.
Some snakes will always have shedding problems, because they require a dry environment or because of an old injury. When these snakes shed, check the skin to make sure that it all came off in one piece. If the tip of the tail is not shed, it can restrict blood flow and the tail may need to be amputated. So if the tip of the tail is still stuck after a few sheds, you need to remove it. You also need to make sure that the eyecaps were properly shed, as retained eyecaps can cause infection. Usually, if the snake retains his eyecaps during one shed, they will come off on the next shed, but that is not always the case.
To remove an eyecap, you can take a piece of tape and remove most of its stickiness by pressing it onto a clean surface and removing it over and over again. Then, lightly touch the tape to the snake's eye and gently try to remove the eyecap. You may want to moisten the eyecap with a dab of water or mineral oil first. If you have any problems, or you're nervous about removing the eyecap yourself, consult your vet.
Stomatitis, more commonly referred to as mouth rot, is pretty common among captive reptiles. It's caused by bacteria in the mouth that get into an open wound, causing infection within the lining of the gums and mouth, and potentially the entire digestive tract. Signs of mouth rot include swelling or color change in your snake's mouth and gums, gaps in the snake's mouth when it is closed, or frequent rubbing or opening its mouth.
You want to keep the bacteria in the enclosure to a minimum so to prevent infection, so make sure to clean the entire enclosure regularly, provide fresh water, and eliminate any source of injury to the mouth or the surrounding area.
Put the snake in a quarantine enclosure with paper towels and clean the mouth with a cotton swab dipped in 1% Betadine solution. Make sure that the snake doesn't swallow any of the Betadine or any infectious material by keeping his head downwards while flushing out his mouth. If the condition doesn't improve within one week, consult a vet.

Why did my albino snake skin go green on face
Noname. Get your heat system fixed. See a vet. Could the snake be dead from the cold? Hot water bottles don't really hold the heat long enough, especially overnight.
What happen if my snake if stiff and not moving? My heat lamp isn't working so we are using a hot water bottle.
I have two ball pythons and they lived together all there live but now the one seems to alway act up it seems like he's always trying to fight the other by walking all over him and pressing up on him then he flips around like a fish it seems he is stress out or something ther tank is 6 foot by 2 foot and two foot high
If your snake has cloudy eyes, it is most likely a sign that she is about to shed. It's best not to handle her until after she has shed, as doing so could damage the new skin. Once her eyes clear she will shed in a matter of days. Another sign that a shed is imminent is that the skin will be dull and lose its gloss.
My snake is a boa constrictor and she has cloudy eyes but she look very helthy but it's just her eyes that I'm worried about
Okay im really worried, my orange dream spider ball is acting strange with something i cant seem to find online, she's not very old about 8 months old, she's very healthy, eats well, skin is fine, but she's making a very funny noise and is very very loud, its like a diarrhoea sound but i noticed her mouth was open i don't know if she was coughing? If snakes cough... This lasts about 20 seconds maybe? She seems fine after But i have no idea whats wrong with her, she's done this twice since i fed her. I really want to know whats wrong its really worrying me :( i don't know if this is just diarrhoea, if she's sick, or anything else. The temperatures on either end of the tank are perfect, humid levels are good and the water bowl is always fresh. Tank is always clean. Can someone please help me understand what this is?
I love my snakes and i make sure they are healthy.
I have a 3 1/2 year old. He's eating, shedding and pooing fine. Seems well in his self. He has had a lump for around 3 months now , which seems to be getting bigger slowly. Vets have drawn a sample, found nothing. An xray has also found nothing. So am at a loss as to what to do next. Then a few days ago I noticed another lump, quite small, developing further down towards his tail. Advice e please?
I have a 13 yr old Eastern King snake he's always been healthy . Until his last feeding now he seems unwell his scales r coming off he is shrinking in his back half and has a bulge that is in his neck idk what to do he is dying ik but I love him and I need help finding a herp vet. Thanks
I have a mate who has just approached me about his male snake that mimics a boa constrictor that is discharging a green substance and hasnt got a hapitite nor has it shed for 7months what does this mean
Hey my red tail boa recently started tilting its head all the way upside down had her for 4 years never seen it do this ever she is eating and seems normal other wise ? Ive looked all over help can someone help me
Very interesting and helpful hub. Voted up.
Once loaned out my Morelia bredli for breeding and he came back with mites, which was not fun. Kept them from my other snakes, and got rid of them in a few days, but Mr Python was not happy!
Hope to never have to deal with the other problems mentioned here.
hello I have a juvenile Colombian red tailed boa and recently moved well she went in her tank for the night in our new place and she was fine but within a week her pupils have dilated and haven't gone back to normal and she seems more grumpy. She's never once in her life huffed at me and shedisd repeatedly when I tried to take her out to inspect her. She also has this bruise like spot near her end tail and her scales are like bending away from her body. I'm really really worried about her and haven't taken her to the vet yet as I'm waiting for my tax return do you think I need to take her ASAP or do you have any idea what's wrong with her?
my boa constrictor is having what looks like trouble breathing he repeatingly opens his mouth, he looks very well its just his actions that are out of the ordinary.He had his first rat only a day ago and ate it quite easily but during the day before and now he has been consistantly opening his mouth.
Hi, I have a kingsnake that is about 8 months old. It has shed several times since I got it, in pieces but it does all seem to come off. I do try to increase the humidity often. Although for several months now it's skin appears wrinkled in some areas and I'm not sure why. Any insight would be great. My snake has a great appetite and seems fine otherwise.
I have a boa constrictor under a year old he has a sollen red colcoa.i was wondering if there is anything wrong with him and if theirs anything I could do to help.
my snake has a pink line going down its belly but before this he was gone for three months. And before he was gone he didn't have it is this going to be a problem? My snake is a ball python.
my corn snake is 4years old and has just laid a clutch of eggs about 27 she has one egg left in her but can not push it out, as she pushes you can see flesh coming out as well

Rated 5 out of 5 by Analise Really good pasta Best corn pasta i have tasted. Taste is similar to normal pasta. Make sure it is boiled in a lot of water and rinse well with cold water when it's done. this will ensure that it won't stick to pan or together. 22 August 2016

Wonderful stay, extremely comfortable and cozy.
Room was clean, everything worked, staff was helpful, location was great.
Breakfast was not good, exterior access room was very loud. I suggest getting one of their interior access rooms or don't stay there.
We were visiting Yellowstone Park, and the road to the south entrance was closed by the the Park Fire Command due to a fire. The hotel would not allow us to cancel, and we could not stay because we could not get there. The hotel could have been understanding instead of just taking a hard line. There are many hotels in Jackson Hole. We'll stay elsewhere next time.
They checked us in early even though our cabin was not ready early. They explained ammenities answered questions about the area and made us feel
A little pricey for only one night.
Love the location for solo travelers!
They were under renovation so the price was a bit steep
It was a good location to downtown, but the room I had was down a back alley which was creepy.
Its run down and was defintlely not worth more than 200 a night
The price was good for the area. The rooms were clean and quiet.
The rooms were somewhat tight and corridors were narrow.
Nothing good about this hotel.
Absolutely the worst hotel we've ever been to. Sheets were dirty, rooms smelled, beds sagged. The hotel needs major updating.
Good location
Awful room, indifferent staff, and so freezing cold because the heat was broken. We had to buy a space heater. No one cared or put any effort forth
We had a place to sleep. The office was very nice and updated.
The rooms were not updated. Parking, towels were not very white, fail on the wake-up call, very utilitarian. Stairs were interesting with the trash bin at the top which you had to maneuver around. Just kind of odd.
location, clean functioal well run facilities
* Location was pretty convenient, near to multiple grocers and a short drive to downtown
* Ample parking
* Rooms were clean, attentive house cleaning
* Wi-Fi is not free. There were two options for the paid Wi-Fi (regular at $2.99, fast at $4.99), which you must get a code for by going to the front office. It's paid by the day and only works on one device at a time. I got the "fast" one which, with tax, came to $5.29/day. I wonder how much a difference it would have made if I'd got the regular package because it wasn't fast at all. Streaming Netflix was constantly buffering, anything beyond rudimentary internet use was out of the question. LTE wireless data seemed slow already in Jackson, so maybe it's an area issue.
* Mattress was very firm, almost too firm, bedding was very light, only two pillows provided.
* The way the TV is mounted (in a fixed position) makes it difficult to watch in bed
Total willingness of owner and staff to be honest about upgrading in progress. They have already done much good work. The bedroom part was comfortable; the kitchen was very good indeed, better than expected and with full facilities (cooker, fridge, d/w etc). Well done!
Nothing displeased us. The bathroom clearly needed upgrading but the owner told us this would be done within the next month and this was not in response to any complaint from us. It was clean and functional even as it was. The recent reviews we saw in August were fair.
Rooms were cute and clean. The rooms had coffee maker which is a big plus.

Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,

The State Of Marriage Equality In 5 Maps
The first four maps show why the next six weeks could be key for marriage equality. But the fifth shows why there's still a long way to go.
1. Here's where things start: Just more than 10 percent of the country lives in a state where same-sex couples can marry.
2. But, voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington will vote on marriage in November. And, the Supreme Court could decide to let a lower court ruling stand finding California's Proposition 8 unconstitutional.
3. If all 4 of those states get marriage equality, more than a quarter of the country would live in a place where same-sex couples can marry.
4. Adding in states with significant, but non-marital, recognition for same-sex couples, nearly 4 in 10 Americans would live in a place where same-sex couples would have their relationship recognized.
5. But, despite those possibilities, marriage equality supporters have a roadblock: More than 6 in 10 Americans today live in a state with a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages. (And Minnesotans will be voting on an amendment in November.)
