Hang tight!
Recipe by PJ Nawlins
"This is based on Joan MacKinnon's really great 'Spiced Pork Chop' recipe, modified based on numerous reviews from others and trial and error. This is my current favorite version for empty nesters (i.e. two servings). The gravy is optional but very tasty. It is important to use the size pan indicated so that wine sauce can spread out and evolve. I find the gravy is better if not too thick. Also use milk if you want a thinner gravy."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

This was yummy! I really enjoyed the spices...a little hint of ginger, garlic. The gravy was good, too. I find it hard to make pork chops tender and unique. This hit both categories.
This was not my favorite. Too many conflicting flavors.

My family is not a big fan of pork chops. Every time they find out that is what's for dinner no one wants to eat. Tonight this recipes was a big success. The sauce was superb. I did not have any heavy cream so i used milk instead. Even though there were no apples in the recipe everyone kept asking if there was. BRAVO!!!!!
This recipe takes pork chops to another level. This will definitely be added to my list of good home cooking! We ate it for lunch and dinner...every last bite! It was very easy to make, also.
The two reasons I gave this recipe 4 out of 5 stars is because of the following:
1. It takes quite a bit of work to prepare.
2. The flavor is somewhere between boring and delicious. ( so, I guess, just tasty enough to justify cooking it )
To clarify, the recipe tastes great and I intend to cook it again, I just feel the work put in isn't worth the payoff. I will say the recipe when followed to a T will produce the perfectly moist and complete pork chops, which I enthusiastically applaud.
The recipe does NOT make super spicy pork chops, which is a good thing! My grandmother has issues with spicy foods, and she enjoyed them fully!
Personally I've always had a problem with pork chops simply because of how over-done and dry people tend to cook them! These porch chops were moist and evenly cooked.
It uses a decent amount of Sherry wine, and this wine can be expensive. What you do use is put to good use, however.
I suggest making this meal for a small family of people you know, and not necessarially for a visiting date, or a holiday event. I will use this recipe again in the future, and desperately find something else to zest the meal up...maybe limes. This recipe has amazing potential and is on a razor-thin line of being amazing. Thank you for this treat of a meal.
I would have added a photo but it's all GONE! Everyone loved it. I tripled the recipe since I had 3 hungry boys. Probably should have used a bigger pan to bake them in but the biggest I had was a 20". I did have to cook them a little longer. I only used about 1/2 of the leftover flour in the sauce but it was plenty thick. I also mixed the flour with the cream first and then added the liquid to keep my gravy from lumping. The boys even used the gravy on their salad they thought it was so good.Goes really well with rice pilaf.
I had trouble w/the sauce being waaaaay too thick...not actually a sauce, more of a lump, so I would suggest not using ALL of the leftover flour mix....trust your judgement & only use a bit & toss the rest(there was at least 1/2 of the flour mix leftover). I wasn't exactly impressed w/this at first but found myself going back for another bite & another bite & another bite. Leftovers were not good so eat it up fresh!
Made it exactly as listed. The "gravy" was very tasty the sweetness of the sherry was the kicker, but I think the pork chops were a little over done. I could have taken them out of the oven about 10 minutes early and after the rest they would have been perfect.
As for the flour I think it had a lot of seasoning that wasn't really tasted, basically anything under a teaspoon would be omitted. Both my DH and BIL sopped up the sauce with some mashed potatoes left over from Thanksgiving. I will definitely make again with the above changes.

you're supposed to post it under the adult section of the "gigs" category for $10 per ad. I posted mine under the casual encounters section of the personals... that's why it keeps getting taken down, because you're not supposed to sell anything in that section.
I created a new email account with an alias last nite because I wanted to be as less traceable as possible. I just really wanted to see if I would get a response, and I did, almost instantly, because both times (last nite and this morning) my ads were removed pretty quickly.
I did a lot of research on this beforehand, lol.
smittysBBQsauce said:what catagory do you post this ad under???? Nas'sTattooArtist said:I just posted a new ad 15 minutes ago...I just checked my inbox and already have 3 emails from dudes that want to buy panties. In the ad I say make an offer, and if it's enough $$$ to make me wet, maybe I'll respond.
One offered $50, one $60, and one $75 (same amount the dude offered that I sold to this morning.)
I can't believe I'm slangin panties.

I'm going to sound like a total Portlander right now: Its 80 degrees and I'm so hot I could die!
Last week it was raining but today the temps spiked to a soaring 80 degrees. I'm not used to this, nor do I like it! Luckily, I was sent some free product coupons for the new Fruttare. I'm sure you've heard of them. I'd seen several commercials for the product before I tried it today. Fruttare come in several flavors that include:
- Mango
- Strawberry
- Lime
- Orange
- Strawberry and Milk
- Peach and Milk
- Coconut and Milk
- Banana and Milk
It was a hard decision but I chose the mango Fruttare Fruit Bars but I went with them because I love mangoes and have been extra obsessed with them lately. Everything mango, all the time! With the heat, today was a perfect day to share a mango fruit bar with my family. I was amazed and loved that it tasted just like a Mango! It was almost as if they took a perfectly ripe, fresh mango and blended it up and poured the liquified mango into a Popsicle mold. The fruit bars were easy to eat as they softened enough to bite quickly enough, but they never dripped.
At just 60 calories a bar, I didn't even feel too guilty for indulging. For about $3.00 a box (the price at my local Safeway) I can definitely saw I'll be getting these again. I'm excited to try some of the fruit and milk flavors as I've heard wonderful reviews on them. Check for Fruttare Fruit Bars at a store near you .
Check out what others are saying on Fruttare's Facebook and Twitter pages!

dreading guides and pages

I introduced myself before but for those that do not know, my name is Heather.
I have had my dreads for "three weeks". I began with a backcombing, twist/rip, and crochet method. The dreads looked great at first, but then there were knots and thing spots, the sizes were too small or too big, I was having to cut certain spots of my hair from knots... etc.
So a few days ago, I took out all but three of my dreads (I kept three I made that day because they looked and felt correct). I kept my hair really poofy and thick and after they were all out I did the baking soda wash I found on this website.
As soon as I did the baking soda wash, I towel dried my hair, and blew dry to make sure it was completely dry. OH MY GOD.
My head looks and FEELS so much better, it has already started a fast natural dread that looks a lot better.
I am very glad I joined this website as soon as I did. This has really enhanced my dreadlock journey. I am now a VERY strong advocate to the all natural method and I just started two days ago.
Attached are before, during, and after wash pictures so you can compare the difference!

PyQt: How to pass arguments while emitting a signal
I often forget how to do this so I'm documenting it here for future reference.
If I want to emit a signal and also pass an argument with that signal, I
can use the form
self.emit(SIGNAL("mySignalName"), myarg).
I connect the signal to a method in the usual way.
To use the argument, I merely need to specify the argument in the method
definition. What often confuses me is that I don't need to specify arguments
in the
connect statement. The example below emits a signal
didSomething and passes two arguments,
"important" and
"information" to the
update_label method.
import sys
import time
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
class MyWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self, *args):
QWidget.__init__(self, *args)
self.label = QLabel(" ")
layout = QVBoxLayout()
self.connect(self, SIGNAL("didSomething"),
def do_something(self):
self.emit(SIGNAL("didSomething"), "important", "information")
def update_label(self, value1, value2):
self.label.setText(value1 + " " + value2)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
w = MyWindow()

#6 guillermo commented on 2011-03-19:
Hi, i know this post is old, but i'm struggling with this problem and your solution help but in this example you are manually emitting the signal, how can i add arguments so signals emitted by the user interaction, or how can i read who emitted the signal? thank you very much
#7 guillermo commented on 2011-03-20:
For completness sake(this site is high on google for this problem) and i hope the author do not mind, i'll leave here the link to a another solution.(look for the answer to the question)
#9 Pete Jemian commented on 2014-11-28:
This example was very useful.
Changing the call of
self.doSomething() to
QTimer.singleShot(3000, self.do_something)
will make the custom emit() more dramatic

Family reunification
Family reunification is a recognized reason for immigration in many countries because of the presence of one or more family members in a certain country, therefore, enables the rest of the family to immigrate to that country as well.
Family reunification laws try to balance the right of a family to live together with the country's right to control immigration. A sub-case of family reunification is marriage migration, where one spouse immigrates to the country of the other spouse. Marriage migration can take place before marriage, in which case it falls under its own special category, or it can take place after marriage, in which case it falls under family reunification laws.
In recent years, there have been several cases of minors sent out on hazardous journeys in order to apply for political asylum status which, once granted, would enable the rest of the family to join them.
Family reunification in Europe[edit]
A major part of immigrants to Europe do so through family reunification laws. Many countries in Europe have passed laws in recent years to limit people's ability to do so.
- Denmark - In case of marriage, Danish law requires both spouses to be at least 24 years old. This is known as the 24 year rule. Additionally, the couple's connection to Denmark must be stronger than to the country of origin, unless one spouse has lived in Denmark for more than 26 years.
- The Netherlands - In case of Marriage, Dutch law requires the Dutch spouse to be at least 21 years old, and to earn a salary of at least 120% the minimum wage. The non-Dutch spouse is required to pass integration exams at the Dutch embassy in their home country, showing a basic mastery of Dutch. Where a law case would take years and thousands of euros, the EU-rules of free movement give right to family life immediately without costs more than that of an identity card. Therefore, some Dutch people move to Belgium or Germany for at least six months, in order to be governed by the EU family unification rules instead of the Dutch family unification rules. This has become known as the "Belgian Route" or "EU Route".[1]
- Germany - Since 2007, law requires each spouse to be at least 18 years old. The spouse living in Germany may not be dependent on social benefits and must possess adequate living space. The immigrating spouse needs to prove basic spoken and written knowledge of German language. The law applies to German and foreign citizens.
- Norway - The sponsor must have an income of at least NOK 251,856 (US$37,000) pre-tax during 2014 and have earned at least NOK 246,136 in 2013 pre-tax. The reference person cannot have received social security benefits during the last 12 months. The income requirement must be proven to the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration every year.
- UK - Since 2012, you must meet the financial requirement of £18,600 per year if you're applying only for yourself, £22,400 per year for you and one child, and £2,400 per year for each additional child.
Family reunification in Canada[edit]
Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and associated Regulations, a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada aged at least 18 is allowed, subject to certain conditions, to sponsor specific members of their immediate family for permanent residence in Canada.
The eligible persons are the sponsor's spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner aged 16 and over, parents and grandparents, a dependent child of the sponsor, a child whom the sponsor intends to adopt, and orphaned brothers, sisters, nieces, or grandchildren under the age of 18 and who are not married or living in a common-law relationship. As an exception to the rules, if there are no eligible persons from the preceding list who may be sponsored and the sponsor has no relatives in Canada, the 'last-remaining family member' may be sponsored, but applications of this type are rare.
Family reunification in the United States[edit]
|This article needs attention from an expert in law. (November 2008)
Family reunification in the United States is the most common legal basis for immigration to the United States, and it is governed by the terms of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended.[2] Historically, the emphasis on family reunification in American immigration law began in that 1965 act by allotting 74% of all new immigrants allowed into the United States to family reunification visas. Those included, in descending preference, unmarried adult children of U.S. citizens (20%), spouses and unmarried children of permanent resident aliens (20%), married children of U.S. citizens (10%), and brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens over age 21 (24%).[3]
Citizens and permanent residents of the United States may sponsor relatives for immigration to the United States in a variety of ways. Citizens of any age may sponsor their spouses and their children, but only citizens who have reached the age of 21 may sponsor siblings and parents. (The Supreme Court decision United States v. Windsor ruled in 2013 that same-sex spouses must be treated the same as opposite-sex spouses.) Permanent residents may only sponsor spouses and unmarried children. In all cases, the sponsor must demonstrate the capacity to support their relative financially at 125% of the poverty level, and provide proof of the relationship. Immediate relatives of United States citizens (spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21 years of age) are automatically eligible to immigrate upon approval of their application. All other people eligible to immigrate through a family member must wait for a place; a preference system governs the order at which these places become available. Citizens may only sponsor siblings, spouses, parents, and children. They cannot sponsor aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, grandparents, or grandchildren, though in some cases such relations may enjoy derivative status.[4]
Immigration of parents[edit]
Under the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
Under existing law, parents of United States citizens may be sponsored for immigration by their adult citizen children (those at least 21 years of age) under certain conditions.[4] The child must demonstrate the financial ability to provide for the parents.[5] In addition to this under current law and USCS policy individuals who entered illegally (EWI or Entry without Inspection) may not adjust in the country. However, leaving the United States triggers a ban on entering the U.S. If the parent was present in the U.S. for only between 180–364 days, the parent will receive a three-year ban. However, as is more common if the parent was present for 365 days or more, the parent will receive a ten-year ban on entering the United States. Unless the parent is willing to live out the ban outside the country, the parent may not regularize their status through the child. Parents who enter legally will not have to leave the U.S. to adjust their status unless they entered on K visas or entered on J visas and did not obtain a waiver for the foreign-stay period[6][7]
Having U.S.-citizen minor children has been mischaracterized as being beneficial in deportation proceedings: such benefits do not exist except in the very rare case of extreme and profound hardship on the child. The number of such hardship waivers is capped at 5000 per year.[8] Federal appellate courts have upheld the refusal by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to stay the deportation of illegal immigrants merely on the grounds that they have U.S.-citizen, minor children.[9]
There are some 3.1 million United-States-citizen children with at least one illegal immigrant parent as of 2005. At least 13,000 American children had one or both parents deported in the years 2005-2007.[10][11]

Summer Savings: Beauty Must Haves
Shop UNDER $20!!!!
Summer is right around the corner which means new trends, more deals, and extra precautions. Before we get crazy and soak up the sun all summer long, it is essential that SPF is added to your daily skin regimens. A lot of people think sun screen prevents a bronze glow…WRONG! Sun screen is a shield to help protect your skin against excessive sun exposure. SPF will help prevent redness and irritation on your skin. Let's not forget it also prevents fast aging. Add an SPF lotion onto your skin before applying any tanning oils, lotions..etc. Take care of your lips as well. The sun will dry them out so make sure you try EOS lip balm (so cute!) which has an SPF of 15 in it to help protect your lips! If you want to work up a quick tan, try Jergens sunless tanning lotion. If you are laying out by a pool or beach this summer, one of my all time favorite and cheap tanning enhancers is Banana Boat's dark tanning oil spray. Go easy on the makeup, ladies. The great thing about having a nice summer glow is you won't need to go heavy on bronzers and foundations. If you do, Rimmel has a great natural bronzer that will help highlight your summer glow.
Let's not forget that bright summer shades are another huge must have this season. Whether you are rocking a hot pink lip or one of Essie's bright summer nail polishes, make sure you keep your colors neat. (ie. don't over do it)
Here are some affordable beauty products you might want to add into your summer bags!
Rimmel London Natural Bronzer $4 (Drugstores)
Jergens Natural Glow $7 (Drugstores)
Banana Boat Dark Tanning Oil $5 (Drugstores)
Tahiti Sweetie Bath & Body Works Lotion $10-15 (Bath & Body Works)
EOS SPF 15 Lip Balm $3 (Drugstores)
MAC lipstick $15 (Nordstrom)

GPS Car Tracker Driving Activity Reporter Covert
This is the device that monitors a car's activity and provides a detailed report of places, routes, and speeds traveled. It uses a 16-channel GPS receiver to track the movements of the car to which it is attached (internally or externally, using the device's built-in magnet for covert purposes), storing locations on its built-in flash memory that holds up to 100 hours of driving activity.
Removed from the car, the reporter connects to your computer's USB port, and the included software allows you to view the time, date, and precise locations visited--even how fast a driver was traveling--using animated digital street maps. The data can also be examined using Google Earth (a free application from the Internet) for precise satellite pictures of locations visited.

Phoenix Cop Arrested For Punching Wife Used Steroids, Advocated For Officer Steroid Use
A Phoenix police officer
arrested for domestic violence
last week was suspended in 2007 for his use of illegal steroids during a department crackdown on the artificial male hormone. In an interview with KTAR at the time, Officer Albert Smith defended the use of the drug by police officers and fire fighters, and suggested that steroids were widely accepted amongst officers.
Speaking to KTAR
, Smith said "There's tons of guys out there, tons of guys, on the fire department, on the police department, that are using. My honest opinion? I don't believe they should be illegal, I think it's a personal decision. I'm not hurting anybody." A 2007
investigation by CBS 5
found that, despite Smith's claims that steroid use is harmless, the drug was linked to allegations against more than a dozen Phoenix police officers and firefighters involving suicidal threats, rage, restraining orders, and domestic abuse.
Smith may not have been honest about his own behavior prior to the interview with KTAR. Court documents from a
lawsuit filed against Smith and the City of Phoenix
in 2005 reveal that the officer was accused of extreme brutality during an arrest. The suit alleged that Smith had "punched Plaintiff behind his head with a gun, slammed Plaintiff's face on the sidewalk, put his knee in Plaintiff's head, and then kicked Plaintiff. Other unidentified officers arrived and joined Smith in kicking Plaintiff. They did not stop until they heard over their radios that civilians were watching. Plaintiff also alleges that the officers were deliberately indifferent to his medical needs. He suffered various physical injuries, including fractured ribs and a bump on his head."
While the outcome of the lawsuit is not found in court documents available online, it is probable that the suit did not go forward once the plaintiff was found guilty in his criminal trial. However, the behavior described in the lawsuit would not be considered irregular for an individual who has used an anabolic steroid drug. The widespread abuse of steroid by police officers, and the potential for an increase in on the job violence, was noted in an article published in
Police Chief
, the magazine of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and authored by law enforcement officers and medical professionals in law enforcement.
Among the list of symptoms to watch for in cases of anabolic steroids use are "Mood swings, particularly if aggressive", "Unreasonable emotional responses to situations", and "Multiple incidents of 'use of force' or complaints of improper outbursts and attitude." Considering the violent outburst which led to Smith assaulting his wife, his past statements in defense of officers using strength enhancing steroids, and the past accusations of brutality would seem to qualify Smith for a full substance abuse testing by investigators of this case to determine if the officer is still using steroids.

Featured Question
What are the mud tunnels/tubes around my house?
Depending on their size, it could be termites. Subterranean termites use mud tubes or shelters for protection and to reach cellulose material above the ground. The tunnels are constructed with particles of soil, wood, debris and termite secretions. They construct these mud tubes as they travel through the dirt. If you spot these in and around your house, you should call a professional for a termite inspection.
Are crickets harmful?
Many types of crickets may cause damage to paper or fabrics when large numbers of them are present. Clothing stained with food or perspiration is especially subject to attack.
What do crickets eat?
The house and field crickets usually feed on plants.
How many kinds of termites exist?
There are over 2,300 species of termites worldwide and about 20 species are pests of structures. Subterranean termites are the most widespread and destructive.
What is an earwig? Is it harmful?
Earwig is the common name given to insects characterized by thin, membrane-like wings folded underneath short leathery forewings. The abdomen extends well beyond the wings, and frequently, though not always, ends in a pair of forceps-like touch receptors. There is no evidence that they transmit disease or otherwise harm humans or other animals.
Where does an earwig get its name?
They owe their name to the widespread superstition that they crawl into ears of sleeping people and bore into their brain. Earwig is derived from the Anglo-Saxon term, earwicga, meaning ear creature. Earwigs feed on leaves, flowers, fruits and fungi as well as plants. (They do not crawl into people's ears while they are sleeping.)
How do I control earwigs?
Earwig control methods include: altering their habitat, eliminating excess moisture, limiting the exterior lighting, sealing cracks and crevices and use of chemical insecticides.
What is the 6-Point Advantage Service?
HomeTeam Pest Defense is committed to providing you with the highest level of professional and responsible pest management services. The key to our customer service is a comprehensive regular treatment plan that includes:
-Inspecting your home's exterior to identify potential pest problems.
-Removing cobwebs and wasps nests within reach.
-Injecting the Taexx system, if applicable, or applying pest control applications.
-Treating entry points such as doors, eaves and windows.
-Applying pest control materials around the perimeter of your home.
-Detailed service reports and preventive tips.
Do you guarantee your work?
We want you to be entirely satisfied. If you have any problems with pests in between scheduled visits, we will come back to retreat for pests.
What is the benefit of owning a Taexx system?
When HomeTeam Pest Defense services your home, the technician will inject distribution lines inside the walls with pest control materials limiting contact with your family and pets. It's effective because the pest control materials target pests where they hide, live and breed - inside the walls. And, it's convenient. After the initial visit, we'll service your system from the exterior locked and patented service ports. You don't have to be home for service.
How do I pay for service?
HomeTeam provides several ways to pay. We accept major credit cards and checks. Plus, we can set up auto-pay for you so you don't have to even think about it. Just ask your branch for an ACH form and we can automatically deduct payment from your bank account or charge your credit card. You choose.
Can I pay online?
Yes, you can make payments online.
Click here
, or on the black banner on our homepage that says "Click to pay online." Then click "Enter the Online Payment Service." If you don't have an account set up yet, click "request access." You will be asked for your account number, email address that is on file with HomeTeam and phone number on file. We also have several other payment options available. We accept most major credit cards. Plus, we can set up auto-pay for you so you don't even have to think about it. You choose.
Why should I use HomeTeam Pest Defense for my regular pest control service?
We believe in customer service! Our friendly, qualified technicians will provide our 6-Point Advantage Service when we come out to your home. Our affordable treatments are effective so you don't have to worry about pests invading your home and it makes sense to have a comfortable, pest-free environment!
How do I obtain the Taexx system in my home?
HomeTeam Pest Defense installs the Taexx built-in pest control system during a home's construction. Ask your builder if they offer Taexx as a standard feature. Not all do. For homes that are already constructed, HomeTeam Pest Defense can still offer you our pest control service with our 6-Point Advantage Service.
HomeTeam Pest Defense is a QualityPro company. What does that mean?
QualityPro certification from the National Pest Management Association means that HomeTeam Pest Defense meets certain standards. These standards include:
-Practicing responsible pest control and Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
-Providing detailed service agreements and treatment reports
-Employing trained and uniformed technicians
-Checking employee references, driving records and criminal backgrounds
-Maintaining a drug-free workplace
-Maintaining liability insurance of $1 million
How can I keep my bills lower?
Upon signing an annual service agreement, you can choose to prepay and save 5% off your scheduled treatments.
What happens when I first request service?
We will schedule an appointment convenient to you. Our technician will start with a free inspection of your home to identify potential problem areas. The initial visit includes thorough interior and exterior treatments. Thereafter, scheduled visits are exterior only, unless otherwise requested.
Does the Taexx system qualify for "Green" programs?
Yes. The Florida Green Building Coalition (3 points), as well as numerous other "Green" programs, provides "Green Points" for including integrated pest management practices, specifically, precision targeting of pesticides to areas not contacted by or accessible to the occupants.
What happens if a Taexx distribution line is cut during construction?
Typically, damaged lines are found and repaired prior to closing up the walls. In the rare instance of a cut line enclosed in a wall, HomeTeam Pest Defense technicians can detect a damaged line during treatment and mark the line at the port box to prevent further treatments of that single line. The Taexx system typically has 10-15 zones and will cover adequate pest control even if a zone is disabled.
What chemicals are used in the Taexx system?
The pest control materials applied through the Taexx system are registered by the Environmental Protection Agency. Tempo® SC Ultra, manufactured by Bayer Environmental Sciences, is currently being used by HomeTeam Pest Defense technicians when servicing the Taexx system. (Product label and material data safety sheets are available upon request.)
Will the Taexx system clog after several treatments?
No. Independent research by University of Georgia determined that there was no apparent clogging of the apertures (holes), and none of the apertures malfunctioned during the simulated twenty-year test. The Taexx system, treatment equipment, and application techniques have been designed to work together to ensure clog-free lines for the life of the system.
How secure is the Taexx port box on the outside of the house?
The patented Taexx port box is tamper resistant with a locking mechanism requiring a proprietary key that is not commercially available.
Does the Taexx system cause moisture build up inside the walls?
No. Independent research conducted by the University of Florida concluded that, "There is more water weight from condensation after a hot shower" than results from servicing a Taexx system in a home.
How does the Taexx system affect the air quality inside the home?
Independent research conducted by Dr. Richard Lipsey, a University of North Florida toxicologist, has determined that there is no detectable level of pest control materials in the living areas of the home following the servicing of a Taexx system.
What can I do to reduce the chance of termites setting up home around my house?
Termites thrive on cellulose material. Earth to wood contact provides them with food, moisture, shelter AND a direct way into your home. Wood debris should be removed. Old stumps, form boards and scrap lumber are very conducive to termites. Moisture is one of the most important factors in where termites occur around structures. Poor ventilation in crawlspaces can increase the humidity under a structure making it more susceptible to termite infestations. Conducive conditions include:
-Leaking faucet or pipes
-Grade slope toward the structure
-Clogged gutters or down spouts
-Firewood stacked against or near structure
-Lawn sprinklers spraying water on structure
-Earth to wood contact
-Construction form boards against foundation
-Exterior siding below grade
-Wood deck or fence attached to the structure
-Excessive mulch against structure
What do termites look like? How can I tell them apart from ants?
Determining the difference between an ant and a termite can be confusing. Termites have straight bead-like antennae. Ants have elbowed antennae. Termites have a broad waist while an ant's waist is constricted. The wings of termites are equal in size. An ant has larger front wings than its hind wings.
Is it true that cockroaches can contribute to allergies? What can I do?
Yes, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, cockroaches can trigger allergies and asthma. Cockroach allergen is believed to derive from saliva, feces and body parts of roaches. The first step is to rid your home of these pests. Since they resist many types of control methods, it is best to call in pest control experts.
How can I keep spiders from creeping into my home?
To help keep spiders from entering your home, be sure to regularly remove spider webs, seal cracks and crevices, eliminate harborage areas and improve ventilation in attics and crawlspaces.
How many species of spiders have been identified in the U.S.?
Approximately 3,500
What can I do, as a homeowner, to help eliminate or control an ant infestation?
To achieve long term control and prevention of ants, some steps include:
1.) Eliminating the food source.
2.) Trimming bushes and hedges that are near or touching your house in the affected area.
3.) Caulking or closing potential entry points.
4.) Chemically treating with the appropriate insecticides either on your own or using a pest control professional.
What are considered the top pests in the U.S.?

No. It is not a deterrent for termites. However, we offer other products and services that will guard against termites including our termite baiting system and termite pretreatments of wood and soil.

Founded in 1886 by industrialist Henry Fairfield DeBardeleben, Bessemer is the third largest city in Jefferson County. It is located in central Alabama in the southern part of Jones Valley, an area rich in iron ore and limestone. Famed football and baseball star Bo Jackson and actor Glenn Shadix were both born in Bessemer. The city has a mayor-council form of government.
After becoming president of the Bessemer Land and Improvement Company in 1886, Henry Fairfield DeBardeleben bought 4,000 acres of land for a planned new town that would be associated with his iron and coal businesses. He named the new city after Sir Henry Bessemer, inventor of the most prevalent steel-making process of the time. DeBardeleben sold the first commercial lots in April 1887; by June 1887, the town had a population of about 1,000 and had established a court and jail. That same year, the citizens of Bessemer chose Robert M. McAdory as the first mayor and elected eight councilmen. The mayor and councilmen voted to incorporate the city of Bessemer on September 9, 1887. Debardeleben also purchased buildings from the 1884 Cotton Exposition in New Orleans for use in Bessemer and had them shipped to Alabama via railroad. The Mexico building became the Montezuma Hotel and served as Debardeleben's home initially; in 1896, it became the Montezuma University Medical College, operating until it burned in 1900. The Jamaica building was used as part of a mill. Neither building still stands. Two years later, the city constructed a city hall, which also housed the fire department; the building was destroyed by fire in the mid-1930s, and a new structure was built at the same location in 1937. The city also built a library with funds obtained from industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in 1906; the library opened in 1907.
Bessemer's early economy centered primarily on mining and steel manufacturing, which attracted many laborers to the city, but the city's economy often suffered during economic downturns because of resultant high unemployment in the labor sector. During a recession in 1907, the Tennessee Coal, Iron, and Railroad Company, a major employer in the city, sold stock to United States Steel to relieve debt. United States Steel aided Bessemer by establishing a welfare program for sick and injured employees, improving infrastructure, and investing in education for children. To supplement Jefferson County's main courthouse in Birmingham, the county constructed a satellite courthouse in Bessemer in 1915 to serve the needs of the Bessemer area. The county built a new courthouse in October 2009. After the decline of the mining and steel industry during the last two decades of the twentieth century, the city diversified its economy to include industrial parks, professional offices, retail centers, and recreational facilities.
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Bessemer's population was 27,456. Of that total, 71.2 percent of respondents identified themselves as African American, 24.3 percent as white, 4.1 percent as Hispanic, 0.9 percent as two or more races, 0.3 percent as Native American, and 0.2 percent as Asian. The city's median household income was $26,980, and the per capita income was $16,394.
The workforce in present-day Bessemer is divided among the following occupational categories:
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (28.1 percent)
· Retail trade (17.9 percent)
· Manufacturing (12.4 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (7.4 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (7.4 percent)
· Finance, insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (5.9 percent)
· Other services, except public administration (5.2 percent)
· Transportation and warehousing and utilities (4.6 percent)
· Public administration (4.3 percent)
· Construction (2.8 percent)
· Information (2.1 percent)
· Wholesale trade (1.5 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (0.3 percent)
Bessemer schools are administered by the Bessemer City Schools. The city has five elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, one alternative school, and a center for technology, which together serve approximately 4,400 students and employ approximately 281 teachers.
Bessemer is served by U.S. Highway 11, which runs southwest-northeast through the city, and State Highway 150, which runs east from the city. It is located near Interstate Highways 65, 59, and 20. General aviation is served by the Bessemer Airport.
Events and Places of Interest
Attractions in Bessemer include Alabama Adventure theme park, which features a traditional amusement park with rides and a
water park; WaterMark Place Outlet Shopping Center; and a city-owned civic center that hosts live theater, sporting events,
concerts, banquets, and expositions. Bessemer is also home to Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park, located on the site of a historic foundry that operated from 1829 to 1865 and served the Confederacy during the Civil War; this site also is home to the Iron and Steel Museum. Other historic sites include the McAdory House, Owen Home, and Sadler Home, each built in the early to mid-nineteenth century.
The century-old Bright Star, a five-star restaurant named an American classic by the James Beard Foundation, is located in
downtown Bessemer. The Bessemer Hall of History Museum contains artifacts and displays related to Bessemer's industrial and cultural history; it is housed in the former Alabama
Great Southern Railroad Depot and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Watercress Darter National Wildlife Refuge
is located just outside of Bessemer and protects the habitat of the endangered watercress darter, a small freshwater fish.

You must have had the occasional experience of waking up too early and leaving for school or work before your family was fully awake. No doubt such days are usually the most productive and memorable ones you can recall. Remember how energetic you have been throughout such days with so little sleep, when even a 9-hour sleep just doesn't seem to cut it on most days?
Early to rise, easy to motivate!
The secret behind this strange phenomenon is a biological clock in our bodies, which keeps us warm and alert during just the 'right' times of the day. When our sleeping habits are properly in sync with this biological clock, dubbed the circadian rhythm, we experience a burst of energy throughout the day extending into the late evenings. However, we are also easily prone to fall out of sync with this natural cycle of day and night; developing an unnatural sleep cycle and a poor appreciation of life. It's probably the reason why our elders have always warned us, "Early to bed, early to rise."
The infographic above illustrates how we go through significant changes in our physiology throughout the day, having been influenced by our biological clock.
One obvious consequence of this natural cycle is that we're wired to be highly productive only during the morning hours. As seen in jet lag, interfering with the circadian rhythm can seriously disrupt the body and make us restless, fatigued, and demotivated. Furthermore, prolongedly unnatural sleeping habits can become the root cause for a host of degenerative diseases in the long run. Is it any surprise that "morning people" who are in tune with their circadian rhythm are more motivated, accomplish more on an average day, and are healthier; all with just a few hours of sleep? As self-help enthusiasts, we must understand the connection between the circadian rhythm and productivity; and use it fully to our advantage!
If you wake up early, you simply have more of the morning hours when getting things done comes naturally. Add to it the psychological rewards of a productive morning and you can see how easily it adds up for a morning person to keep himself/herself motivated through the day. The boost in motivation that a morning schedule produces, is key to accomplishing more through the evening and keeping your checklists ticked off.
Can only some do it?
The biggest myth about morning productivity is a mistaken belief that people are predisposed as to to being morning people or not. There is no science proving this, and humans seem to quickly re-adapt to be a morning person simply by altering their activity patterns to match their circadian rhythm. This is a natural function of the body. (But if you are a caffeine addict, only giving it up will show you how quickly this happens.)

So put your doubts aside and start going to bed early!
