Scorpion Control Solution Provides Safe and Long Awaited Relief for Homeowners Nationwide

Cedar products have long been used as a insect control agent claims Dave Glassel of CedarCide Industries located in the Woodlands, Texas. Cedar Chests and Cedar Closets suggest the absence of all Bugs in the area of Cedar Aroma. Impaired mental faculties experienced by the insect trigger the exodus or often death of the target insect. Venomous Snakes referred to as heat seekers are pheromone driven and will avoid areas that emit the aroma of cedar. Insects such as Fleas, Flies Ticks, Mosquito, Scorpion, Chiggers, Mites, No-See-Um's, Ants, Termites, Moths, Grubs and numerous others can easily be controlled by the use of PCO CHOICE, a specially formulated Cedar Oil and water solution. Cedar Oil is the only known substance that will disolve insect eggs and larvae. The treatment has no effect on sight driven beneficial insects such as the lady bug, butterflies and garden variety snakes, frogs and Toads.. It is classified as a Natural or Organic insect control agent by the EPA.

Green Beret Turned Peace Activist Publishes Second Anti-War Book

William T. Hathaway, award-winning author and former U.S. Special Forces soldier, has published a new anti-war novel set amidst the current war on terrorism.

SUMMER SNOW is a peace novel about an American warrior who falls in love with a Sufi Muslim and learns from her a mystical alternative to the military mentality.

The book’s wisdom figure is an aged Sufi woman, the warrior’s lover’s teacher, who has survived by outsmarting male dominated political and religious hierarchies.

“This bin Laden, this Bush, all these leading men, they have hijacked us all with their violence,” she states. ”They have turned the whole world into their suicide airplane. These men are too primitive to have such power. Too ignorant of the underlying reality. We must stop them. We must take the boys’ toys away from them...these terrible weapons.”

GiftTRAP Boardgame Giveaway -- Just in Time for the Holidays; Free GiftTRAP Games Available for Your Audience

This year, let board game enthusiasts Nick Kellet and his eldest daughter Freya, creators of the fantastic new board game GiftTRAP, treat your readers or listeners to this fun, social party game. This holiday season, GiftTRAP would like to offer print and radio outlets the chance to give numerous game packs away to make the season merrier.

Offered as straight give-away prizes, incentives or as a contest prize, GiftTRAP is an engaging game designed to test participants' gift-giving savvy. GiftTRAP enables family and friends to get down to the nitty-gritty by testing (and developing) their emotional intelligence through the giving and receiving of virtual presents. Choose the right gift for your fellow players, and the player scores points. Choose a bad gift and the player loses points. Winning is about being as good at giving the right gift as you are at being given presents you most want.

Sounds easy, right? From eco gifts to adventure or cultural choices, players learn about the likes and dislikes of fellow playmates, even if it's the hard way! Due to the nature of the game and because no real gifts are exchanged, players may be more likely to be brutally honest about what they like or what a flop might be. On the upside, all of this honesty and virtual generosity will keep players in the know, enabling them to maintain a tidy stash of gift-able solutions for future occasions.

'Tis the season for gift-giving, so in exchange for some entertaining banter about the GiftTRAP and gift-giving, it would be fitting to hold a contest that could include asking readers/listeners to dish on their best or worst gift (i.e. the wife who received a dish washer from her husband for Christmas - which also happens to be their wedding anniversary). Or to hold a contest in which participants can discuss their most memorable re-gifting horror story; how they were caught out or realized they were the recipients of someone else's unwanted loot. The most creative answers win a GiftTRAP game board package including a rules booklet, 640 gift ideas, and all other necessary games pieces retail valued at $39.99.

Who needs to re-gift when you've got GiftTRAP -- the game that keeps on giving, or the gift that keeps on gaming! Nick is available for phone interviews.
