This is a lovely anthology of England's crime authors stories. I love short stories and couldn't wait to dip into this one.
Poisoned Pen Press and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published June 2nd, so you can grab a copy then.
This is a variety of tales. I had read some of these in the past because I subscribe to the Ellery Queen mystery magazine and they highlight "classic" tales. I had also read some of them because they were in collections I'd read in the past. Some of these relative unknown authors were actually friends of mine. Or, I should say, their stories were. It was a pleasure to read either a new story or a reread of an old story I'd read before.
I found several stories I'd never had the pleasure of reading before. Some are the staid almost formal British voice of their authors. The ones that gave me pleasure where the ones where the characters were unusual, outspoken or misbehaved. I find them entertaining reads.
There were no bad stories in this collection. The editor did a good job of picking substantial stories for this collection. You also get a mini biography about the writer. Some women wrote with a male name. Some men used pen names. It's amazing how far we've come and how much farther we have to go in the world of authors.
I found this collection to be a real treat. If you like mystery stories, you'll like this collection. If you're not sure, the stories are short and you'll get a good taste of what a good mystery is like. Try it, I bet you'll like it.
I'm Jo Ann Hakola, The Book Faerie, bookworm and bookseller. I have been selling books since January of 2000. It's a homebased business and I sell online only. Here is my website: http:www.bookfaerie.com I offer free shipping stateside. It's a one woman endeavor, and I love working for myself. I have over 6,000 books online now. I do book reviews from a reader's point-of-view and try to spread the magic of reading.

One of the things that I looked forward to most when I found out I was having a daughter was introducing her to all things Disney Princess. I loved them when I was young and I hoped that Anniston would too. I imagined the moment when she met the princesses for the first time or saw the castle. One of the things I looked forward to the most was taking her to Bibbiddi Bobbiddi Boutique.
Warning: this post contains a lot of photos.
Warning: this post contains a lot of photos.
When we planned our first trip to Disney in 2011, I wanted to take her. Badly. However, the poor kid, at almost two, had zero hair. So I had to put off my dream and wait a little while longer. I told Nick from the moment we returned from that trip he had better prepare himself for the next trip. She was going, hair or no hair.
I read a lot of discussion forums on when was the best time to go. We decided that for us, the best time would be early in the morning. Anniston tends to be a morning person. Plus, we knew it would just make her day. Then our trip changed and we decided to go in October. We would be there on Halloween; what better day to do it?
I waited and waited for the 180 day mark. I got up and made our ADRs first, then I made our reservation for
When it came time for our appointment, since it was before park opening, you go to this special spot to wait. It's over to the left (if you are looking at the gates). From there, a guide will accompany you to where you need to go. There were groups heading in for breakfasts, makeovers, etc. so make sure you tell the guides where you need to go.
We got there and checked in. Anniston got to pick what hairstyle she wanted and her fairy godmother got to work. Since we had outfits made for Anniston to wear while we were there, we opted to do the base package. She had her hair fixed, her nails painted, make up applied, and a sash to wear. She got a little backpack where they put the nail polish, extra makeup, comb, and a few other little trinkets.
She absolutely loved the process. And, since we had the Memory Maker (PhotoPass+), I just got to sit back and watch. The Disney photographer took all the pictures for us. She loved every single second.
Those fairy godmothers can work wonders with any type of hair. I was impressed. They sprinkled a little "fair dust" (glitter) and said a cute little saying before turning her around to see herself. Her smile was worth every penny, every moment, and my long wait to get to take her.
After the makeover was complete, we went over to the studio to have some pictures taken. Again, since we had Memory Maker, this was free of charge to us. They turned out so adorable.
Anniston slept on that hair for two nights. Every single hair stayed in place. When we went to wash it out, it was quite the process. So if you are worried about it lasting all day, or even two days, I wouldn't worry about it very much.
We had a great experience at Bibbiddi Bobbiddi Boutique!


text: I've started ripping my CDs to FLAC, thanks to the great conversations at TMC about FLAC and better audio quality (thanks, all!). However, I had been tearing my hair out trying to figure out why the metadata (artist, album, track number) wasn't showing up on either screen. Both Foobar2000 and Exact Audio Copy seemed to be tagging the tracks properly. We're on v4.4 (1.3.11). I have no idea if this was a problem for earlier versions. Turns out the issue is only when browsing by Folder: It shows the folder and filename fine, but doesn't display any metadata (nor does it show the album artwork). However, when browsing by artist, album, etc., it works great. I'll email ownership to be sure they're aware of it, but wanted to mention it here in case anyone else has also been going in circles by this little bug.

David H. Bieter
David Harold Bieter[1] (born November 1, 1959) has served as mayor of Boise, Idaho since 2004. He is a Democrat though the office of mayor is officially nonpartisan.
Bieter was born in Boise and graduated from Bishop Kelly High School in 1978. Bieter earned a bachelor's degree in international studies from University of St. Thomas in Minnesota and a law degree from the University of Idaho. He was admitted to the Idaho State Bar in 1986.[1] In addition to his native English, Bieter is fluent in Spanish and Basque.[2]
Political career
In 1999 Bieter was appointed to the Idaho House of Representatives as a Democrat to succeed his late father, Pat Bieter, in District 19 (north Boise). Bieter was elected to a full term in 2000 and reelected in 2002.
In 2003 Bieter was elected Boise mayor in a nonpartisan contest, defeating Republican Party activist Chuck Winder and Ada County Sheriff Vaughn Killeen. He was reelected in 2007 with 64 percent of the vote, defeating city councilman Jim Tibbs.[3]
Bieter was an early supporter of Barack Obama in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.[4] It had been speculated Bieter might emerge as a Democratic candidate for Governor of Idaho in 2010,[5] however he declined to file as a candidate. Rumors of a possible 2014 Bieter candidacy for governor or another higher office have circulated as well, although he has not made any public comment on the matter.[6]
Bieter easily won a third four-year term as mayor in November 2011, defeating David B. Hall with 74 percent of the vote.[7] He is the first Boise mayor to win a third four-year term since Richard Eardley in 1981.
According to the New York Times, "Bieter spent part of his youth in the Basque Country and is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the only Basque-speaking mayor in the United States." Boise is home to the largest Basque population outside of Europe, with 15,000 Basques.[8]
Bieter married his wife Julia in 1998. The couple has one daughter.[2]

Halfway to Ollokot CG
An absolutely gorgeous ride. One long summit, but never too steep, through beautiful woods along North Pine Creek. Camped along side the Imnaha River.
The ride started with about 10 miles of downhill through some very scenic country along Pine Creek as it made it's way to the Snake. We then turned up Wallowa Mountain Road. This was the road I wanted to take 6 years ago but it was closed due to a washout. So it was very fulfilling to get to ride it now. It started out through beautiful woods and nice cool air. Sometimes I could see the naked hills far above and feared we'd eventually leave the woods, but we never did. The woods changed to mostly pine as we got higher but never gave out. It was a long climb but eventually we got to the turn off for the Snake River Overlook. Here I ditched my panniers in the woods and did the final 3 miles with a lighter load. We spent at least an hour on top lounging around and enjoying the view. You couldn't actually see the Snake River but the view was spectacular none the less.
Then it was a fast downhill to the Ollokot campground on the Imnaha River. I found a spot close to the river and was very happy to be lulled to sleep by it.
I did not know it at the time but Ollokot was Chief Joseph's younger brother and the leader of the young warriors who chose to fight the army that forced them off of their land.

The unknown World Champions...
Question: In what recent World Championship did Australia men finish 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th – that is four in the top 6.
Answer: The 2006 UCI World Mountain Bike Championships – Elite Downhill
So how come we read so little of this in the mainstream press; how many other sports does Australia compete in which they dominate to such a level? So why is there no coverage in the papers or on television, why is not more money being invested in a sport where there is obvious success? For goodness sake Australia invested in and sent a competitor to the winter Olympic to do luge – what the – this is not even a sport that anyone can participate in locally – so why?
Sam Hill and Nathan Rennie should be household names for their achievements!
Let's also see how Australia/NZ went in other categories from a top 10 perspective at the event:
Junior Women Downhill – Tracey Hannah (Aus) 1st.
Junior Men Downhill – NZ 1st and 2nd, Aus 5th, 7th and 9th.
Elite Women Downhill – NZ 7th and 9th.
Update: SBS will show highlights on Sunday, September 10 at 11am.

Timelines is a strategy card-game built upon the foundations of those that came before, yet offering a fresh take on the genre.
Experience a collectable card game unlike any other. Play as the most ancient beings in the universe and select your Heroes from four unique factions of different timelines. Spanning the past and distant future, Timelines provides a new take on the card-game genre with a focus on customization and strategy.
Before the dawn of time itself, there existed only The Ancients. They created all that is the known universe, it's laws, it's checks and balances. Lastly, they created life. Only to watch it flourish and fail in every timeline, in every possible scenario.
In the interest of finding a champion, a hero, one life form that could succeed where the others had failed, the Ancients devised a final effort to redeem humanity. They would choose Heroes of the infinite timelines, and take them on as champions of this cause. Through battle one timeline would prevail, and prove itself worthy of the Gods favour.
The Xbox One is the lead platform for Timelines and it will be launching first on the Xbox One Console. Going forward we need to get the Xbox One version to the right state, before deciding which platform we want to bring the game to next too.
We do have plans on bringing Timelines to other platforms like the PS4 , WiiU, as well as portable consoles like the 3DS/2DS and the PS Vita / PS TV.

Other Countries
United States N/A 28849 less than 0.001 N/A
Australia 688 2341 0.004 421
Total is the total number of people with that surname.
Rank is the position in the list of names ordered by total (eg, a rank of 1 means that it's the most common name, and a rank of 10 means it's the tenth most common, etc).
Frequency is the percentage of people with that surname.
Per million people is the number of people with that surname per million of the population.
All of these are approximate figures, and the current figures especially so. The 1881 census figures are correct for what was recorded on the census, but we don't really know how accurate it was. At least, though the 1881 figures won't change, as it's a snapshot of a point in time. The current figures, by contrast, are variable according to births, deaths, migration and marriages, so the values shown here are only a best approximation to whatever was the case when the underlying data was collated and will not be the same as whatever the values are right now.
'N/A' indicates that we don't have data for this name in that country or time (usually because it's quite uncommon there and our stats don't go down that far). It doesn't mean that there's no-one there with that name at all!
For less common surnames, the figures get progressively less reliable the fewer holders of that name there are. This data is aggregated from several public lists, and some stats are interpolated from known values. The margin of error is well over 100% at the rarest end of the table!
It's possible for a surname to gain in rank and/or total while being less common per million people (or vice versa) as there are now more surnames in the UK as a result of immigration. In mathematical terms, the tail has got longer, with a far larger number of less common surnames.

For those who haven't been paying attention, a recap. The ERC is the organisation that runs the Heineken Cup. France and England have the richest clubs and they don't think they're getting a fair shake in the competition because they have to qualify from their own quite competitive domestic leagues whereas teams from Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Italy do not. The French and English clubs are petitioning the ERC to rejig the Heineken Cup qualification rules so that participation is based on merit, rather than geography.
The Irish Times' rugby correspondent Gerry Thornley can be relied on for a regular one thousand words of scandalised outrage that money should talk in these circumstances. He, like the majority of the Irish rugby establishment, is utterly horrified at the prospect of any of the advantages three of the Irish provinces have traditionally enjoyed in the Heineken Cup being diluted by one whit, jot, or iota.
And in the green corner: the IRFU is the organisation that runs Irish rugby. Leinster, Munster and Ulster are the provinces with traditionally strong rugby traditions in Ireland, and they always get a fair shake in domestic Irish rugby because any time Connacht ever shows any vague chance of improving someone comes along and poaches their players.
Connacht screams long and loud when this happens, at which time the rugby establishment puts on its best hurt face and says: sorry little buddy. We think you're doing great here in the bog but, you know, money talks. Of course you can have players. You just can't have any ones that are any good.
How Connacht rugby gets a following at all is beyond your current correspondent. Sisyphus has a better chance of getting that boulder to the top of the hill than Connacht ever has of being a presence in European rugby.
Leinster, Ulster and Munster all know that there's only so much food to go around. They could diet for a few years themselves in other to better the nation as a whole, or they could say what we have, we hold. Pull up the drawbridge, and let nature take its course.
They should be careful what they wish for. While the IRFU's lack of vision is crushing Connacht now, it may crush all of Irish rugby in the end. It is a fact that the Irish provinces can't survive as independent financial entities. They are dependent on the IRFU and the IRFU should extract a quid pro quo for that dependency by imposing quotas on the specialist positions so the national team will never be short of props or out-halves. How can they look out for Connacht when they barely have the wit to look out for themselves?
This season has been Connacht rugby in a nutshell. The season began with Dan Parks debut at outhalf for Connacht. Dan Parks, an Australian who won an astonishing 67 caps for Scotland. Not so much a has-been as a never-was. It was like Galway United had signed Emile Heskey, and expected to wire it up to Barcelona the next time they were at the Noukamp.
And then, by God, Parks, the clapped out old rust-bucket, found a vein of form. Nobody was going to mistake Dan Parks for Dan Carter, but Connacht played him to his strengths – the boot, the boot and nothing but the boot – and got some victories on the board, none more impressive than the win over Biarritz in Galway last Friday. Connacht looked like they were finally going somewhere.
But while Parks made the headlines, second row Mike McCarthy was the star of the team. So much so that he played for Ireland in the autumn internationals and looked completely at home on the greatest stage. For Connacht, the future looked bright.
So it fits the pattern, then, that McCarthy has already packed his bags and will be gone by the summer. To Leinster, of all places. And the more Connacht howl the more the usual suspects shrug their shoulders and say whaddya gonna do? That's business. McCarthy is only following the money. It's a professional game, after all.
The ERC know it's a professional game too. They'll do the math of the big clubs and the little clubs and the big countries and little countries and give the IRFU in the end exactly what the IRFU are giving to Connacht. The shaft. It will be a bad for Irish rugby but with their scandalous treatment of Connacht, it's very hard to say the IRFU won't deserve it.

Virgin backs 'Hyperloop One' super train concept
British billionaire Richard Branson has announced his Virgin Group will become a partner in ''Hyperloop One'', a super train conceptualized by Elon Musk to ferry passengers from New York to Washington, D.C. in less than hour. Matthew Larotonda reports.
British billionaire Richard Branson is throwing his weight behind a futuristic super train project whose backers claim could ferry passengers at airline speeds. "Hyperloop One" announcing that Branson's Virgin group will become a partner and take it global, with Branson gaining a seat on their board - although they didn't disclose how much Virgin will be investing. The idea behind Hyperloop One is to use a train levitated by magnets and sealed in a low-air pressure tube system to reduce friction. The company says it could hit 670 miles per hour. A small-scale test run seen here The project was originally conceptualized by Tesla cars founder Elon Musk. He claimed in July that he had received an informal nod for one of his companies to begin work on tunnels for a line between Washington, D.C. and New York. But it's not clear how far along the official process actually is. Local governments and federal officials at the time playing down the hype and reporting they'd had little or no communication with the project. There are also many questions regarding how safety regulators would certify the unproven technology, which features fully automated driverless trains. Hyperloop was founded by former employees of Virgin Galactic, Branson's space tourism project.

Last weekend I enjoyed a visit to New York City's Summer Streets – an excellent car-free street festival. It's very similar to CicLAvia, Los Angeles' ciclovia festival, which Bikas' editor-in-chief Joe Linton had a hand in bringing to life. I am going to share some photographs I took that can maybe give readers a sense for the event.
Here's the short film that Clarence made that day:
Summer Streets takes place Saturdays in August – the last one is coming up this Saturday, August 17th. Details at NYC DOT website. I am hoping to head back out to it, this time with my wife and my daughter.

My holidays have started a few days early, thanks to my good friend gastro :( Well, he's not my good friend... more like my arch nemesis!
So... no work until July 21st.
Flying to Sydney on 5th July! I'm very excited.
I have officially started my Diploma of Children's Services traineeship at work!
I have so many blogging ideas, I just don't know how to get them out of my head and onto the page... or screen! I'm just so busy working full-time, that when I'm home, I just want to watch youtube and make sets on polyvore and read everyone else's blogs. Plus, if I'm adding study onto that... it gives me even less time to blog :) So I apologise in advance for only ever posting Things I Love Thursday and "Update" posts... and also apologise for the sheer lack of posts :D
I really want a tattoo of a whale and a bowl of petunias falling through the air (like in The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy) I have posted a few inspiration pics, but there are heaps more on my Tattoo board on Pinterest.

Amani has crossed the desert with her foreign prince and joined forces with his brother Ahmed, the Rebel Prince. The Rebellion has taken half the desert with the help of the Blue-Eyed Bandit. When a mission to take back a rogue city in the Rebellion's and a rescue from the capital go sideways, the Mirajin Army find the rebel camp in the oasis and ambush. Amani, hours after reuniting with Jin, is taken to the Mirajin capital of Izman, where the Sultan is paying top dollar for any Demdji.
Have you ever read a sequel that's as good as the original or even better? Traitor to the Throne is. The plotting done so well. There are plots and sub-plots, intertwining brilliantly to create a fully fleshed story. Faces Amani knew in her old life come back to haunt her; those who were once her friends, help the Sultan keep her down. And someone she never trusted turns into her greatest ally. Once captured, Amani makes herself useful to the Sultan, giving him reason to give her a little more freedom and a little more trust.
Hamilton doesn't really bother with filler. If a part of the story doesn't serve a purpose or if we need catching up, we get it in her gorgeous prose, told as a story within a story. And I absolutely love reading the stories. The Mirajin mythologies and legends are all so beautiful and so sad. The last book was heavy on the legend of the Atiyah and Sakhr. This time we keep hearing the love story of Princess Hawa and Atillah. As per usual, the stories are based in truth, and provide valuable lessons that are important to the real events of the book.
I'm a sap. I love reading about love, and this book has a lot of mushy love stories in it. Amani and Jin, Imin and Navid, Madhi and Sayyida. It's all so swoon-insipiring and sad. The actions of so many of these characters, and the events that occur as a result of them, are done in the name of the person they love. Jin's a runner; we knew that back in Dustwalk. I just don't think Amani thought he'd ever run on her. The time they spend apart in this novel only increases the impact when they're together again.
I still don't like Ahmed. Is he charismatic and inspiring? Yes, definitely. Would he make a benevolent ruler? Probably. He obviously means well. But, like Amani, I have doubts about his ability to hold a country against the foreigners fighting over Mirajin deserts. He's having trouble holding half the desert with his forces, and I'm not sure he can do what needs to be done even with the full Mirajin army at his back.
5/5. Would recommend.

SEO Copywriting: Make Your Website Stand out from the Crowd
No website is complete without copy. Whilst some may see it as an unfortunate necessity, others see it as an opportunity. The bulk of your site's text will perform two duties:
1) Provide visitors with all the information they need to convince them to explore the site further and use your services; and
2) Let the search engines know exactly what your website is all about and persuade them to rank you higher for key terms.
Without investing in your copy, you could be losing out on untold online riches. However you choose to market your website, the ultimate sales pitch is done through the quality of your content. You could divert thousands of people to your homepage each and every day but still not get a single sale, why? Because people aren't buying in to what you're selling.
Whenever we purchase online with someone new it is a complete leap of faith. Reassurance for consumers can only come in the content of the page that we arrive at. Whether it's a product page or your main homepage, your copy needs to sparkle and engage with the audience. Each page needs to be treated as a unique entity; visitors won't always find you through the most obvious channels, so you need to sell yourself right throughout the site.
The next issue to conquer is how exactly should you market yourself? If you're not a proficient copywriter it can be daunting trying to coax out a couple of hundred words for each page, especially with the added pressure of having to do the covert hard-sell and integrate elements of SEO too. In truth though you needn't be overly concerned, the first and most important thing to remember with any copy is accuracy.
People want to be sold to, that's why they visit websites in the first place. What most visitors don't like though is inaccuracies and errors. It shows a lack of professionalism that transcends the initial typo and ends up reflecting badly on your website and your business. Accurate text, even if it isn't the most lively or cutting edge, should always be your first priority; then as you advance, you can start building in the more complex aspects of SEO copywriting.
Emotive language shouldn't be too difficult to come by. If you're passionate about your business and the products that you sell, then it will come naturally. Whatever you're writing and wherever it is going to feature on the site, you need to focus on getting a strong message in at the start of your copy and then a solid call to action at the end. The content of the filler is down to you, however getting in these two key features will have visitors intrigued at first and then compelled to act upon their intrigue.
Now comes the SEO. Some people question the value of SEO and whether or not SEO copywriting really exists any more. Well in short, search engine optimisation is as important as ever, perhaps even more so with the added competition faced in every market. SEO copywriting, well that's more debateable. Copywriters who write for the Internet invariably look out for things like keywords and how best to target their copy in order to optimise the page, both for the visitor and the search engine. It's not like it was ten years ago with all the keyword stuffing and black hat techniques, today SEO copywriting services are far more refined and customer focussed than ever before.
However you look at it, the bottom line with copywriting is that it must fulfil its primary obligation to the site and to the two areas mentioned at the outset of this article – the customer and the search engine. Impeccable copy should always be the primary goal, whilst unflinching accuracy should always provide the benchmark. If you can write something that engages with your visitors and gets your site to the top of the search tree, well, that's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a diet that strictly excludes gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat and related grains, including barley, rye, oat, and all their species and hybrids (such as spelt, kamut, and triticale). Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and a cross between wheat and barley called triticale. About 1% of the population really needs diets that are totally gluten free. They have celiac disease and gluten can cause damage the lining of the small intestines. Gluten helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue that holds food together.
According to Mayoclinic.org:
"Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an immune response in your small intestine. Over time, this reaction produces inflammation that damages the small intestine's lining and prevents absorption of some nutrients (malabsorption)."
The following items can be consumed liberally on your Gluten Free Diet (go organic and local with your whole- food choices wherever possible; flash frozen is fine, too):
Healthy fat: extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, grass-fed tallow and organic or pasture-fed butter, ghee, almond milk, avocados, coconuts, olives, nuts and nut butters, cheese and seeds.
Herbs, Seasonings, and Condiments: You can go wild here as long as you watch labels. Kiss ketchup and chutney goodbye but enjoy mustard, horseradish, tapenade, and salsa if they are free of gluten, wheat, soy, and sugar. There are virtually no restrictions on herbs and seasonings; be mindful of packaged products, however, that were made at plants that process wheat and soy.
Vegetables: leafy greens and lettuces, collards, spinach, broccoli, kale, chard, cabbage, onions, mushrooms, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, sauerkraut, artichoke, alfalfa sprouts, green beans, celery, bok choy, radishes, watercress, turnip, asparagus, garlic, leek, fennel, shallots, scallions, ginger, jicama, parsley, water chestnuts.
Protein: whole eggs; wild fish (salmon, black cod, mahi mahi, grouper,herring, trout, sardines); shellfish and molluscs (shrimp, crab, lobster, mussels, clams, oysters); grass-fed meat, fowl, poultry, and pork (beef, lamb, liver, bison, chicken, turkey, duck, ostrich, veal); wild game.
Low-sugar Fruit: avocado, bell peppers, cucumber, tomato, zucchini, squash, pumpkin, eggplant, lemons, limes.
Go gluten free for these reasons
You may be gluten intolerant and not even know it: Gluten has been associated with many problems including digestive problems and migraines.
Regain balance: Gluten is everywhere. You can find it in bread, pizza, soy sauce, salad dressings, ketchup – even in spices, beer, your medication and some cosmetics.
Lose weight: Recent studies have shown that gluten is associated with weight gain and obesity. Gluten is considered a "super carbohydrate" and is converted to blood sugar more efficiently than almost any other carb food.
Ward off diseases. The rise of gluten intake coincides with the increase in occurrences of many diseases such as autism and ADHD. Gluten consumption may be linked to these and a large number of other diseases such as diabetes and, heart disease.
Improve your mental health: Several studies link Celiac disease with issues in the nervous system and dementia. There have also been several studies over the last 60.

Summary: Connor starts to like Maria, and hi-jinx ensues. Please R/R!!!
The Big Crush-Cheri6578 Chapter 1: Revelations
It was wintertime; Sharon Spitz and Maria Wong were in their winter
clothes, and having a snowball fight. Maria patted a huge snowball in her
green-mitted hands and whirled it at Sharons right cheek, barely missing
her blocking hands. OW! she yelped, half-laughing; What am I, target
practice? Maria giggled. It was a very fine day; no school, fresh
blanket of snow, snowball fightsToo bad Alden had band practice today,
and ConnorHey! Connor! She just noticed she had not seen her nerdy
friend in quite a long time; a week perhaps. Hey, Sharon! Maria called
out. Why couldnt Connor come over today? I feel like I havent seen him
in ages!. Hmmm Sharon hummed. Something about painting his fence.
Kept him busy. Maria cocked her eyebrow. Huh? He used that excuse two
days ago. Remember?. Heyyeah! Sharon recalled. Must be some long
fence, huh? she joked. Ill call him to ask if he can ice skate with us
Sharon got into her room and called Connor. *Ring! Ring! Ring! *click!*
Hello? Connor answered. Hey, Connor! Its Sharon; can you come ice
skating with us tomorrow? Connor sneezed and grabbed his inhaler. Us?
Us as in who? he asked, very nasally. Me and Queen Elizabeth-no! Who do
you think Connor?! Me and Maria! DUH! Connor gulped and stammered
nervously. Ma-Ma-Maria? I-I-have to go to my grandmothers funeral
tomorrow, sorry, I cant. he said, trying to sound disappointed . But
Sharon remembered this excuse from Monday. She scowled. Nice try,
Connor, what is with you? she asked. Well, I, uh Out with it,
already! she interrupted nastily. Okay, okay! Ihe mumbled the
following words indistinguishably. What??? Sharon asked, like a senior
citizen who had difficulty hearing youngsters. I HAVE A CRUSH ON
MARIA!!! he yelled. What was that, Connor? his mum asked from
downstairs. Nothing, Ma. He replied. Sharon finally understood. OhOh!
Why dont you just tell her? Connor shuddered at the mere thought. Are
you insane? Would you tell Alden you liked him before you started dating?
I think not. He stated as-a-matter-of-factly. Point well made. Sharon
admitted. Wellhow bout I tell her for you? Connor gasped. No!
Sharon, dont! Please! Id die! Sharon had to giggle a little. Okay,
okay, take a chill pill, Connor! Thats a shame, though, since she is
crazy about you, you know. Gullible Connor had perked up. Re-really?
Sharon continued the lies, obviously trying to get Connor to let her tell
Maria. Well, okayyou can tell her, I guess, but dont rush into it! I
know, I know, can do! Sharon said with a tin-grinned smirk. Sharon!
Mom said no running up the phone bill, get off! Adam warned as he poked
his head through her door. Hey! I told you to knock first! she
reminded, as she cupped her hand over the talking portion of the phone.
No, not you, Connor, OhI have to get off the phone now, talk to you
later, okay? Bye. *click!* Sharon couldnt wait to tell Maria!
End of Chapter 1.
Hope that didnt suck! Well, next Ch. Should be out in less than a week.
Please R/R!

I'm going to be sad and angry to the end of my days. I'm 44, female, divorced and getting fatter and lonelier by the minute. I'm employed but I suspect that some people (the ones with power) want me out and will push me out. They think I'm weak, disorganized and stupid (and I think I am as well). I'm a disappointment to my mother who only wants me to be married – she really wanted me to have kids but I screwed that up as well (i.e. I have no kids – one miscarriage and one abortion though). I'm taking wellbutrin, i've talked to doctors but nothing ever seems to change. Part of me would just like someone to be there for me but that would require me to be there for them – and I just don't have the energy to do that nor the skills or ability – I would just ruin their life as well as my own.
Will things ever change?Will Things Ever Change?
Will Things Ever Change?
Writing us here is the first step toward making a commitment toward change. Change happens when we change. What I noticed in your description is that you see yourself as a disappointment at work, with your mother, and a potential disappointment to a partner. This is a pattern of thought that creates a belief system that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The work is in changing your belief system so you stop from going into this downward spiral. One of the best books on the subject is by The Resilience Factor by Karen Reivich and Andrew Shatte. This will help you challenge your thinking, for starters. It is superbly written and based on research. It will walk you through the steps of changing these belief systems. Second, I would begin working with a cognitive-behavioral therapist. You can find one in your area by clicking on the find help tab at the top of the page.

Brintrup, Alexandra (2008) Recent Patents using Interactive Evolutionary Computation: a Short Review. Recent Patents on Computer Science, 1 (2). pp. 93-97.
This paper reviews recent patents that make use of Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) technology. The patents are classified into optimisation in engineering design, health management, consumer surveying, music generation and image processing. It is pointed that the coupling of multi-objective optimisation and IEC in engineering design, the use of prediction tools to reduce user fatigue, engaging multiple users in consumer product surveys are the new areas in IEC research that has shown a trend for commercialisation. The increasing number of recent patents in these areas shows that IEC continues to be a promising solution to meet humanised computational intelligence requirements today and tomorrow.

Relationships between physicians and their patients have been a critical focus of the medical field since the time of Hippocrates, and remains a controversial topic in the legal field as well because of medical malpractice. Physicians struggle with the balancing of their own interests (which are influenced by their own personal morals, beliefs, etc.), quality of care for the patient, and the patient's interests. The physician is expected to provide a sense that the patient is both respected and safe under their care. United States law considers the medical relationship a fiduciary one; physicians are expected and required to act in their patient's interests, regardless of whether their interests are what are best for them medically, or whether those interests may conflict with the physician's own interests. Medical attorneys are placed at the forefront, and medical malpractice occurs when conflicts arise between the physician and patient's interests.
It was during the second half of the twentieth century that the physician-patient relationship evolved toward a shared decision-making model. This model respects the patient as an autonomous individual with a right to hold opinions, make choices, and take actions based on personal values and beliefs. Patients are entitled to weigh the benefits and risks of alternative treatments, including the alternative of no treatment, and to select the alternative that best promotes their own values. Subsequently then, the relationship is no longer a paternalistic one forcing the patient to depend on the physician's professional authority. If the physician neglects the patient's own interests, medical malpractice results.
Physicians and patients commonly disagree over types of treatment, which in turn causes complications over deciding the appropriate action that should be taken, increases the likelihood of patient dissatisfaction, and inferior medical treatment. The difference between these could be the difference on one hand, between life and death, and another hand, extreme tortious conduct and medical malpractice, due to negligence.
Individuals who have felt, as patients, that their doctor neglected her decisions, acted self-interested, or failed to properly inform her of her various options, are strongly advised to seek legal assistance from a medical malpractice attorney. Please feel free to call Gordon Price Diefenbach, a Manhattan trial attorney who has been handling these kinds of medical malpractice cases for nearly 30 years for a free assessment. The 24-Hour Hotline is (917) 734-7111.

I've been trying to look at everyday objects in a new way, as potential for art rather than just clutter or junk. It has to be a balance, though, because I can't hang on to everything in hopes it'll become useful later. And instead of wishing I hadn't tossed something that I suddenly think I can use, I'm working to turn that energy elsewhere. What do I have in front of me right now that can be used instead?
I fight my natural clutterbug tendencies. I don't want our stuff to own us. (And sometimes it really feels like it does.) Right now it feels like a balancing act between purging junk from our lives and keeping interesting objects for future use.
I really want to create right now. To find inspiration in my everyday life. I am not an artist. Yet I'm learning to create art. And it's a really cool thing. Maybe I'll be able to articulate it better once I learn a little more about how to make my own stuff (instead of just using inspiration from others). Regardless of where it goes, I'm learning a lot and really enjoying it.
And maybe I'll actually finish a project and get to move on to the next one.

This month, we are chatting it up with Delia Latham. Delia is the author of the romance novel, Goldeneyes, a children's book, and a short story in the upcoming anthology, The Shortstack: 20 Stories to Fill You Up. She is married to a Pentecostal minister, and is involved in the music ministry at their church. Delia plays piano and sings. She is the mother of four grown children, and has four grandchildren. Delia and her husband reside in Bakersfield, California. Let's give a big welcome to Delia!
Delia, we're happy to have you here with us, and eager to learn about you and your book.
Delia, you've said that you won an essay contest in the third grade, which is when you became hooked on writing. Do you remember what your essay was about?
Actually, I do—which surprises me, since there's so much about my childhood I don't remember. The essay was titled something like, "What I Was Like As A Baby." It was so much fun! I had to interview my parents, brothers and sisters, and other family members to obtain their memories of my infancy, since of course I couldn't remember it myself. I also remember how much I enjoyed going through Mama's big box of snapshots to find a photo of myself as a baby to take to school with the essay.
Afterward, did an adult come along side and mentor you? Did you receive any type of special training?
My uncle was my pastor, and his wife was a huge influence on me. She was a wonderfully talented, funny, charismatic woman—and she believed in me. From the time I wrote my first little verses of poetry as a child, she encouraged me and pushed me to do more. She's the one who first planted in my heart the idea that I could write a novel, and prodded me to learn what I needed to learn to make it happen.
No special training as far as formal education. I took a few partial courses on writing (Longridge Writer's Group, Institute of Children's Literature, Newspaper Institute of America) when my children were very small. My time and finances were extremely limited, so I was unable to actually complete any of those courses. But I learned something from each of them. I worked as a newspaper Staff Writer for a few years, and that really helped me learn to write tight. Through the years, I've also purchased countless books on the craft of writing, and while I enjoyed some more than others, again…I learned something from each author.
What's a typical day like for the writer, Delia Latham?
I'm blessed to be able to devote most of my time to my craft. My husband is retired and he's an incredible source of support and strength to me. As far as my writing is concerned, he's definitely an enabler! ☺
I babysit my 2-year-old grandson until just after noon during the week, and I love doing that. (I'm an undeniable homebody, and an unrepentant spoiler of wee ones.) In the afternoons, if I'm not in the thick of a book, I do whatever needs to be done—household chores, errands, etc.
But late at night, when the rest of the world is sleeping, my mind goes into writing mode. I'm usually up well into the wee hours of the morning, especially when I'm in the "zone," and a book is moving along at a good pace.
In your current release, Goldeneyes, there is a character who is an alcoholic. What led you to choose such a character?
This character—Jack Kelly—commits a crime that will make most readers cringe and want to rip the man apart. I needed Jack to be totally unlovable at the beginning of the book. (Just to be clear, I am not saying all alcoholics fall under an umbrella of "unlovability," if there's even such a word. I don't believe that myself, not for a moment. Alcoholics are simply people like you and me—with problems and a weakness. But God loves them and is well able to deliver them from that bondage.) That said, I needed a strong incentive for this character to do what he did—an incentive such as, perhaps…an addiction. Goldeneyes takes place before street drugs became a household word, and besides, this character is poverty-stricken. So alcohol became his "drug" of choice.
The plot of your book is intriguing. How did you come to write about a child-snatching?
All I can say is…the inspiration for this book came from a Higher Power with a much better imagination than my own!
As a child, I was very familiar with the farm labor-camp lifestyle—folks came and went nearly every hour of every day. Social and economical circumstances forced a life of transiency on them. They had no choice but to go where the work was, and to strike while the iron was hot. So if they heard of work, they left—immediately. Looking back, I realize it wouldn't have been difficult to drift in and out of a camp without ever really "meeting" anyone, and without divulging your identity to a soul. What a perfect situation in which to take a child and just head on down the road!
As you write your stories, how do you make sure to draw out the readers' emotions? What's your secret?
I'm not sure I have one. I do strive to make readers feel something—sorrow, joy, anger…whatever. And I use every tool available to me to make that happen, by building emotional events into my storyline. If readers can share a laugh or shed a few tears with my characters, they'll bond with them. When that happens, they're hooked. And that's what I want.
What about your characters? What elements do you utilize to make them memorable?
Mostly personality traits or quirks.
I could probably write in such a way that you would enjoy reading about a woman who is disturbed by a recurring dream of her long-dead father. But you'll remember her better—and longer—if she also has an irrational fear of death…and dead people. Under this particular circumstance, a dream of a long-dead father would not comfort, but terrify. Much more memorable, don't you think?
How long from the start of writing Goldeneyes to its actual release?
About two years. I hit a huge writer's block partway through the story and had to put it on a back burner for awhile, so the process was considerably slowed. I'm sure God had His reasons for the delay, but it was so frustrating for me, knowing I had the makings of what I thought was a really, really good book…but I simply couldn't bring it together. Argh! I prayed a lot! When God finally gave me the go-ahead, He also provided the inspiration, and finishing the story didn't take long after that.
Then there was another waiting period of about a year between signing the contract and date of release.
Delia, what would you like readers to take away from this book?
No matter how dark the day, no matter how dreary the situation, God is able and willing to give light and hope. I also want readers to realize that nothing is too big for God to handle, and nothing is too bad for Him to forgive.
Is there anything else you would like us to know about Goldeneyes?
Goldeneyes will most likely always be the one dearest to my heart, no matter how many books I write. Because it's set in Weedpatch, where I grew up, portions of it felt almost too real to me. I could close my eyes and actually see the streets and the layout of the camp mentioned in the book.
Also, I'll never forget how hard I had to pray to break through the barrier of writer's block. I learned a lot about the emotions involved in a writer's existence, and it was also during this time that I learned to think of God as a friend and confidante…in other words, I built a relationship with Him. I don't know if I ever would have accomplished that without the roadblocks that were built into the writing of this book.
Getting back to that bed doll you won in the third grade: do you still have it? If not, do you remember what happened to it?
The answer is "no" to both questions. I have no idea what I did with that beautiful doll, but oh how I wish I had kept it! Too bad we don't realize the importance of things…events… people…relationships, etc., until we no longer have them, isn't it?
I do have photos of similar dolls on my website, if anyone is curious about what, exactly, a "bed doll" is.
Thank you so much for spending this time with us, Delia. I wish you many blessings and all the best with this book.
I've enjoyed my visit here, Deborah—thank you for having me!

The Supreme Court has given Washington State Gov. Christine Gregoire a second extension, until October 22, to decide whether to appeal a recent court of appeals decision that could give the high court a chance to revisit its landmark decision in Olmstead v. L.C..
Disability rights advocates are strongly urging the governor to drop the case. The Olmstead decision, considered the disability community's Brown v. Board of Education, upheld the Americans with Disabilities Act's integration mandate barring the unnecessary segregation of people with disabilities.
In the lawsuit presently at issue, M.R. v. Dreyfus, a group of Washington State residents sued the state after it enacted 10 percent across-the-board cuts in 2010 to its Medicaid-funded in-home care services. In December 2011, a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled that the decision violated the ADA by placing recipients of these services at-risk of being forced to move into institutional-settings.
The Olmstead decision, a 6-3 decision from 1999, upheld the ADA's integration mandate on narrow statutory grounds. If the Dreyfus decision is reviewed by the Supreme Court, the justices would have an attempt to analyze the law under broader constitutional grounds and narrow, or even overrule, the Olmstead decision.
"The impact of this drama goes far beyond Washington. In many states, Olmstead is the only thing preventing draconian budget cuts that could force thousands of disabled and elderly Americans out of their homes and into institutions," the Seattle Times stated in a September 14 editorial. "Furthermore, under Assistant Attorney General Perez's leadership, the Justice Department has used the Olmstead decision to make the case for deinstitutionalization and community-employment opportunities for people with disabilities across the country.
All that could be lost if Gov. Gregoire gives a more conservative Supreme Court another chance to turn back the clock on our basic rights."
In a recent letter to the governor, 23 Washington State disability advocacy groups commended Gregoire for her efforts as state attorney general and governor to expand community disability services, warning that her legacy would be tarnished if the Supreme Court uses the case to continue its efforts to reshape the Medicaid program, especially in light of its recent decision regarding the Affordable Care Act in June.
"In recent years, the Supreme Court has become increasingly restrictive in its view of Congressional power to protect the most vulnerable Americans and has repeatedly reached out to decide questions affecting individuals' rights that it need not have addressed" the advocacy groups stated. "Seeking certiorari in M.R. v. Dreyfus could result in a ruling that significantly diminishes the right of people with disabilities to live in integrated settings and be full participants in their communities."
The National Disability Rights Network, in a letter signed by 33 national disability advocacy groups, also urged Gregoire to drop the case, warning of the potential devastating consequences for people with disabilities.
Additional information from Disability Rights Washington on the case can be read here.

Some people say that the government really cares about the educational system of the country, but only by the skin of its teeth. This means that it is barely doing anything that can structurally address the problems of the deficiencies in the educational framework of the public education system.
This means that there has to be other alternatives today. One of the brilliant and most responsive alternatives discovered today by passionate educators is Rocketship Education, which is a charter school that right now is the pioneer of K-5 Personalized Learning. But what is it?
Lessons Learned
The K-5 Education System from Rocketship Education is essentially focused on elementary education and helping parents get the most quality public education for their children at the lowest cost. Co-founder and CEO of Rocketship Education, Preston Smith, publicly explained what Rocketship Education is about by highlighting in an article from The 74 Million the different lessons the school has learned in over the 10 years that it is helping communities address the issues of marginalized students.
Some of the lessons learned by Rocketship Education is the fact that personalized learning should always start at home. Sure, the charter school has made headlines in advocating for technology integration that helps bridge the gap between parents and schools, but Rocketship learned that it is their annual home visits that really have made an impact in their business model. It is the strong relationships that the teachers have built with parents that have really shaped the future and motivation of the teachers.
Another lesson that the Rocketship Education has learned is the fact that there has a lot to be said about the racial discrimination that the government seems to portray in terms of children and parents choosing schools.
About Rocketship Education
Rocketship Education is a non-profit network of public charter schools that aim to serve disadvantaged youth across the nation. Rocketship Education wants to clarify that it is welcome to all kids, regardless or race, creed or class. It is their value for diversity that makes their system work, and the fact that it is able to function by doing so means that it knows what it is doing and where it is going.

Number, a poem
I have calculated the number of elephants
needed to reach from here to the moon.
Who could round that many up?
They hide themselves in hedges and fence rows,
trumpeting their laughter. Might I
gather giraffes to fill the gaps?
Don't even ask me about Mars.

Ewwwww! My Pet Has Tape Worms!
How Disgusting!
What are tapeworms?
Tapeworms are intestinal parasites of cats (and dogs). Because they are classified as cestodes, they belong to a different family of worms than hookworms and roundworms (called nematodes).
Occasionally, the mobile segments can be seen crawling near the anus or on the surface of a fresh bowel movement. These segments look like grains of rice and contain tapeworm eggs; the eggs are released into the environment when the segment dries. The dried segments are small (about 1/16", or 2 mm), hard and golden in color. These dried segments can sometimes be seen stuck to the hair around the dog's or cat's rear.
Infection is common and found throughout the world.
A less commonly found tapeworm, called Echinococcus, also occurs in dogs. Several types of tapeworms are known to infect cats; Dipylidium caninum is by far the most common.
What is the life cycle of tapeworms?Tapeworms are internal parasites, infecting all types of mammals, including humans and domestic animals. Their life cycles are very complex.
The segments, full of eggs, are passed in the feces. While warm, the segments are active, but as they dry, they break open and liberate the eggs inside. Either an adult louse or a flea larva
How did my dog or cat get tapeworms?By swallowing a flea infected with a tapeworm larvae.
This process begins when tapeworm eggs are swallowed by flea larvae (an immature stage of the flea). Contact between flea larvae and tapeworm eggs is thought to occur most frequently in contaminated bedding or carpet.
Next, the pet chews or licks its skin as a flea bites; the flea is then swallowed. As the flea is digested within the pet's intestine, the tapeworm hatches and anchors itself to the intestinal lining.Fleas are the intermediate host for the tapeworm. In other words, the tapeworm is unable to complete its life cycle without the presence of fleas in the environment. Regardless of whether the owner may have seen fleas, the pet must have ingested a flea in order to have tapeworms. Consequently, tapeworms are more common in environments which are heavily infested with fleas. Lice are also reported as intermediate hosts for tapeworms but they are relatively uncommon parasitesin the US.
A pet become infected with Echinococcus when it eats a small mammal, usually a rodent, that contains the worm. Foxes and coyotes (and the wild rodents upon which they prey) are important in the life cycle of this parasite. Dogs and cats may also become infected if they eat rodents carrying the parasite.
What kind of problems do tapeworms cause for the dog or cat?
Tapeworms are not highly pathogenic (harmful) to your dog. They may cause debilitation and weight loss when they occur in large numbers. Sometimes, the dog will scoot or drag its rear across the ground or carpet because the segments are irritating to the skin in this area. The adult worm is generally not seen, but the white segments which break away from the tapeworm and pass outside the body rarely fail to get an owner's attention!
Occasionally, a tapeworm will release its attachment in the intestines and move into the stomach. This irritates the stomach, causing the dog to vomit the worm. When this happens, a worm several inches in length will be seen.With few exceptions, these well-adapted parasites also cause little harm or inconvenience to their cat host. However, the sight of their segments crawling about the fur or on recently passed feces of a pet is not appealing.
Clinical signs may not always occur, but when present, they may include unthriftiness, depression, irritability, an unpredictable appetite, poor coat condition, colic and mild diarrhea. A heavy infestation may causse anemia or weight loss.
How is tapeworm infection diagnosed?
An infection with Dipylidium is usually diagnosed when the white, mobile segments are seen crawling on your dog or in the stool. Tapeworms are not usually detected by the routine fecal examination performed by the veterinarian. Because of this, veterinarians depend on the owner to notify them of possible tapeworm infection in the dog.
Echinococcus infections are harder to diagnose than the tapeworm caused by fleas because the segments are small and not readily seen.
In heavy infections, we may notice abdominal discomfort or nervousness in the animal. The animal may vomit and sometimes have convulsions. It is thought that the convulsions are due to toxins produced by the tapeworm. The active segments around the anal area may cause an animal to lick or 'scoot' on the floor.Since the current tapeworm medicines get both types of worm, it is really irrelevant which species of tapeworm your pet has.
Can I get a tapeworm infection from my pet?
Yes. For a person to become infected with Dipylidium, he or she must accidentally swallow an infected flea. Most reported cases involve children. The risk of infection with this tapeworm in humans is low. The most effective way to prevent infections in pets and humans is through flea control. A child who is infected will usually pass proglottids (or what appears as rice) in a bowel movement or find them stuck to the skin around the anal area.Another less common group of tapeworms, called Echinococcus, is of increasing concern as a threat to human health. These tapeworms cause serious, potentially fatal, disease when humans become infected. Infection with this parasite is harder to diagnose than Dipylidium because the segments are small and not readily seen. Trappers and hunters in the north central United States and south central Canada may be at increased risk for infection with this worm when strict hygiene is not practiced. Foxes and coyotes (and the wild rodents upon which they prey) are important in the life cycle of this parasite. Dogs and cats may also become infected if they eat rodents carrying the parasite. When eggs of Echinococcus are passed in the feces of the dog and cat, humans are at risk for infection. Free-roaming cats and dogs may need to be periodically treated with tapeworm medication. Rodent control and good hygiene are important in preventing the spread of this disease to humans. As with the more common tapeworm, infection with Echinococcus is infrequent yet possible.
My child has pinworms. Did they come from my cat?Tapeworms and pinworms look very similar. Contrary to popular belief, pinworms do not infect cats or dogs. Any worm segments seen associated with cats are due to tapeworms. Children who get pinworms do not get them from cats or dogs.
How are the tapeworms treated?
Treatment is simple and, fortunately, very effective. The most common treatment is praziquantel which is found in Droncit (from the vet by prescription) and
Tapeworm Killer Capsules (the generic form that is now over-the-counter and much less expensive.)
Control of fleas is very important in the management and prevention of tapeworm infection. Flea control involves treatment of your dog, the indoor environment and the outdoor environment where the dog resides.
If the pet lives in a flea-infested environment, reinfection with tapeworms may occur in as little as two weeks. Because the medication which treats tapeworm infection is so effective, return of the tapeworms is almost always due to reinfection from the environment.
The most important preventive measures are flea control and lice control. Numerous products are on the market which can be used for this purpose. It is recommended to not only treat the animals with both an insecticide and an Insect Growth Regulator but also the environment in an attempt to kill as many adult fleas and flea larvae as possible.Control of fleas is the cornerstone of preventing tapeworm infection. With the new and exciting flea control products which have become available, this is now much easier than in years past.
If the pet lives in a flea-infested environment, tapeworm infection can become re-established within a few weeks. This is very rarely due to treatment failure; in most cases, reappearance of tapeworms represents reinfection from fleas in the environment. Additional recommendations include:
Are tapeworms infectious to people?
Yes, although infection is not common or likely. A flea must be ingested for humans to become infected with the most common tapeworm of dogs. Most reported cases have involved children. The most effective way to prevent human infection is through aggressive, thorough flea control. The risk for infection with this tapeworm in humans is quite small but does exist.The tapeworms described here may be acquired by accidentally swallowing an infected flea (dog tapeworm) or eating a piece of uncooked infected meat.
Effective tapeworm control:
In summaryThe key to success in eradicating the tapeworm from your pet is to understand the life cycle, treat with Tapeworm Killer Capsules, and to understand that you have to eliminate the flea to eliminate the worm.
