Product Documents
Premise Foam is a ready-to-use formulation of imidacloprid intended to kill subterranean species of termites and other wood-infesting insects. Premise Foam is ideal for easy application directly from the bottle into voids and spaces between wooden elements where infestations are most common. Once applied, Premise Foam expands to reach hidden or difficult to treat areas, and contacts termites or other insects hidden deep within wall galleries or voids. Because of its active ingredient, imidacloprid, Premise Foam works differently from other termiticides which repel, rather than kill, termites. Termites tunneling or foraging in the spaces treated with Premise Foam will go about their usual activities without being repelled. The exposed termites then remain unaffected for a few days, before sudden death occurs. In the meantime, the exposed termites are able to spread the Premise chemical to unexposed termites by physical contact when they feed or groom the other termites, resulting in a domino death effect which wipes out more of the colony. Imidacloprid, the active ingredient in Premise Foam, is the most widely used insecticide in the world with a proven track record of success – less than one percent retreat rate. While Premise Foam is an effective method of controlling subterranean termites within voids and spaces between wooden elements above ground and other areas, it is not intended to be used as your sole source of control. For best results, this product should be used as a supplement to soil-applied termiticide (like Premise 2, or Premise 75WP), or a termite bait system registered as a sole control source.
Premise Foam comes in an 18oz. can with a nozzle connected to a flexible tube/straw, and two plastic tip attachments, shown below:
The longer tip is for foaming in wall voids through drywall, or for other hard-to-reach voids. When accessing a wall void through drywall, it may be necessary to drill a small whole through the drywall first, then insert the tip.

Great product!!!
By P. in Houston, TX on 05/02/2011
Verified Purchase
My house was hit with a swarm of termites in March and started right to work on my kitchen area. I did the usual trench and treatment outside, but it apparently didn't hit some of the the buggers, because just a few kept coming out at night. I discovered they had apparently gotten in and started a nest in the wall inside and I found a small leak where they were getting water. I fixed the leak and drilled several inconspicuous holes and treated the area around the nest and pumped the Premise into the wall. It killed the stragglers within one day! I haven't seen another one yet and believe me I've looked! It was cheap, fast & easy to use. I liked the little adaptors that came with it. The can holds an enormous amount. I highly recommend this to use for any termite infestations in the walls you find, in addition to the usual route. Especially if you want to cut a new infestation off cold like I did. Thanks!!!

Very Effective
By Daniel on 06/12/2011
Verified Purchase
Warm weather is allowing dry wood termite colonies to survive Northern California's winters. I noticed a couple of nests in my home. Since much of the nests are concealed and nearly impossible to get to, I ordered a couple of cans of Premise. The termites are supposed to carry enough back to the nests to wipe them out. In some places I drilled 1/4" holes through my drywall so I could shoot the foam between the wall studs and into the ceiling. In case I needed a second application, I did not patch the holes. It has been 6 months since the first application. I've seen no sign that any of the termites survived. Although highly effective, the treatment is short lived. Treated areas can become infested again in a few months. I plan to spray the area with Phantom to keep new colonies from forming.

Premise Foam
By Charles in Hagerstown, MD on 06/06/2011
Verified Purchase
I was pleased to get the foam to use in all the nooks and crannies in my basement. The foam got to where it was supposed to go and soaked into the wood but I was a little disappointed that it didn't remain as foam. Rather it broke down to a liquid and I expected it to remain a solid as does insulating foam so you would get a physical barrier as well as a chemical one. But I suppose one could apply the Premise and let it dry then caulk with a good standard caulk such as butyl.

Premise Foam Termiticide
By Rustam in Sunnyvale, CA on 08/14/2011
I bought the Termiticide foam and the Termidor SC. The package arrived ahead of schedule. Todate I have used the Premise Foam Termiticide only, on an exterior wall which had dry wood termites where the wood met up with the concrete base. I drilled pairs of holes just large enough for the spray nozzle to go through at a height of 1 and 2 feet above the base across a six foot width. Possibly went overboard emptying 4 cans into 6 pairs of holes and the gap between the wood and concrete at the bottom. There is no sign of any activity in that area at all after the spraying. The product is incredibly easy to apply. The only thing you have to be cognizant about is that while it foams when you apply it, it is totally invisible as soon as it dries but it is there doing it's job. Years ago I had sprayed a can into an interior wall which had signs of termites and haven't had any problem since. Plan to use the Termidor SC as added insurance around the periphery of the house.

Premise Termiticide review
By R in Hearne, Texas on 11/07/2012
Verified Purchase
I had winged termites coming out from behind a kitchen cabinet after using an inspection camera I determined termites were in two studs and about a three foot length of the wall top frame. I bought two cans of Premise then drilled small holes into the studs and frame about every two feet to inject the foam. it went in well with very little leaking back out the only problem was one can leaked some at the valve. it has been seven months since treatmant and have had no sign of termites since treatment.

Premise Foam Termiticide
By Bobbie in Alamogordo, nm on 09/28/2012
Verified Purchase
We just purchased a home and termite inspection revealed a couple of "non-active" trails where a previous leak under the tub was. We decided to do our own treatment. Along with the exterior product, I purchased this foam to treat the interior under the tub. It bame with 2 nozzles- the one that shot a stream was perfect to access areas I could not reach (back behind the tub). It foamed up to cover the area and then dissolved. Great product- I think I got a better job doing it myself than hiring the termite company for over $1000! Your instructions are very thorough and a great confidence builder that I could do it!

Made this purchase to combat termite attack on my wood lattice patio cover. As long as you can pin point the termite droppings and drill the hole in the right spot,,the foam will do the job. So far I treated 4 locations and the stuff worked. Can has good amount, foam does not smell bad, and nose tip that comes with the can is helpful.

Worked great. I love the ready to use foam spray can. Easy to use and can be used at any time. In the past I have had the pest man come and do the job. There has been 3 locations in my home of my friends. This time I took care of them. I do hope it works and that my friends are now finally gone. But I have heard once you have them they usually stick around. Anyway so far so good for the product, but the ease of using is great.

Premise the Great
By Tim in North Florida on 08/07/2011
Verified Purchase
I had subterranean termites between two interior wall joints. They travel up my wall into the attic. I called a pest control company who came, twice, and finally decided on a treatment. When they left, I never heard back. So I remembered Do My Own Pest control. I found a foam treatment which was the same treatment the pest control was going to use. This product was very easy to use and it did not cost me the estimated $250 from the Pest Control company. My next stepi is to purchase the perimeter treatment for subterranean termites from Do My Own Pest Control!

QHow long does Premise Foam remain effective when filling voids behind a furred out wall?
Is it only for an immediate solution to eliminate an active termite problem or does it remain effective for a number of years acting as a preventative for future infestations?
APremise Foam is only an immediate solution and is not a wood treatment product that will protect the wood long term. However, we do sell the most popular wood treatment product on the market and it is called Bora-Care. It is meant to treat wood only and once applied it will last and protect the wood forever. It can only be applied to raw, untreated, unpainted wood so you would have to either spray it on a raw piece of wood or inject it through drill holes or the same openings you injected the Premise Foam into.

QIs Premise Foam the same as expanding foam?
My house has been treated for termites. I am re-installing a raised wood floor and want to foam the outside skirt with a solid termite foam. I purchased a termite foam at HD and it was "foam" as an application but evaporated. Will this foam be similar to the "expanding foam" type material and form a barrier, somewhat insulating void fill?
APremise foam will work the same way as the foam you purchased else where. It will expand and fill the void so that it can contact all surfaces and then evaporate leaving behind a residual that will last several weeks. We do not carry any type of solid barrier foam products.
08/12/2010 Brett
QCan Premise Foam be applied to an exterior wall that has insulation without expanding and damaging the wall?
I have what appears to be an active termite tube inside the house on an exterior wall. I intend to treat the soil with the trench soaking method. If I treat the location with foam in the wall, I'm concerned the expanding foam will damage the wall by expanding in the wall where there is currently insulation in the wall.
APremise Foam will expand a little bit but it will not damage insulation or your wall. Whenever you are treating termites, you should treat them directly by drilling a hole through the Sheetrock and into the stud or wood they are in. However, if the termite tube is outside and you are going to trench and treat the outside wall, that method alone will take care of the termite problem.
12/16/2011 Dave from Rockville In
QI have a added on family room that was treated by a company for termites.
I have an exterior wall that has damage and I recently noticed the paneling has some damage,the company that treated said their treatment took care of that but for peace of mind I would like to apply the foam.The wall in question is about four feet until it meets the patio door. Would I drill a hole on top and apply, then also one on bottom?
AWhen using Premise Foam for termites, you need to understand that this product is not a wood treatment product. It will not penetrate through wood, so you should not just foam in the wall void. This product needs to touch the termites, and the termites are inside the wood. You need to drill directly into the damaged wood and foam directly into the wood, not the void. This product should be foamed directly into the wood where termite activity exists. The foam will fill the tunnels the termites have eaten away and will affect the termites it comes into contact with and they in turn will pass the product on to other termites they touch before they die.
02/28/2011 James
QDoes Premise Foam damage existing paint?
AWhen used as directed on the product label Premise Foam Termiticide should not have an effect on paint. Since the manufacturer cannot test it on every type of paint, we still recommend that you test it on an inconspicuous area to be sure.
03/09/2015 Joe from Atlanta, Ga
QIs Premise Foam made in the USA?
AYes, per the manufacturer, Premise Foam as well as all other Bayer Advanced products are made in various location across the U.S.

QWhat can I purchase for dry wood termites for CA?
I want to purchase termidor foam for the dry wood termites observed for my wood cabinets. However, the website says this product can not be shipped/sold to California. What other product options do I have?
APremise Foam would be a great option for you. Premise Foam is a ready-to-use formulation of imidacloprid intended to kill subterranean species of termites and other wood-infesting insects.
11/13/2013 Yufeng from San Jose, Ca
QHow long does it take Premise foam to control termites?
There are termite mud tubes on the baseboard of our laundry room. I applied 3 cans of Premise foam though drilled holes to the drywalls and stubs. It has been a week, but I still see termite activities in the mud tubes. I plan to replace the baseboard and the quarter round. Should I apply more Premise foam or just wait?
AIt sounds like you may be dealing with subterranean termites. If this is the case, you will most likely not be able to eliminate the population with just a foam in the walls as they are coming from the soil under and outside your home. Even if you could eliminate the entire population with the Premise Foam. It normally takes a full 90 days to see an entire colony destroyed and no more signs of activity. We highly recommend you look over our article and videos on "How To Do A Termite Treatment" to see how you should accurately be eliminating the termites and properly protecting your home from any future infestations. The method described in that article is going to save you time and money in the long run. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
10/10/2013 Seb from Arizona
QDo we apply the foam directly into the source of an indoor mud tube formation?
We discovered a mud tube coming from a small gap in our tile grout, right next to the baseboards. It's practically coming out from the floor. Where do we drill to inject the foam?
09/04/2013 Tom from Az
QWhere to apply premise foam - subterranean termites
I noticed some termite tubes in my bathroom, in the shower (where the wall meets the ceiling). Should I apply the premise here (as I would have to drill through the shower to apply the material lower). I also have access to the other side of the wall, in the adjacent room to the shower, and can apply it from there but i'm sure there is insulation present in the wall. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks
A To better advise you I need to know if your home is on a slab, or if you have a crawl space or if you are on a basement. The treatment method will vary based on this information. Please email me back with the information, and I can answer the question for you. Thanks,

QIf Premise Foam is put on top of an 1/2 inch thick wood would it soak or penetrate the wood?

QHow to treat formosan termites in my boat?
I have formosan termites in the cabin of my boat, they are attacking the particle board under the formica, at present I use "suspend SC around the house, will this work and if so how is the best way to administer?
AThe most popular product that we have for treating termites in boats or other areas that are not easy to reach is Premise Foam. You have to drill a hole into the damaged piece of wood and treat it directly. The Premise Foam is considered better for termites because the foam will expand which gets you better coverage area inside the wood. Also, Premise foam is a non-repellent product meaning the termites can pass it around to other termites which Suspend will also not do.
03/05/2011 Kent
QI have a termite problem located on the ceiling of our bathrooms. The ceiling is apparently wet.
Do you have any product that can be injected as powder through a drill hole?
AThere is not a powder that is really good for termites. However, if you know where in the ceiling they are located, then Premise Foam would be a great option. It comes in an easy to use aerosol can and all you need to do is drill holes directly into the area of activity. In addition to treating with Premise Foam, you need to find a way to stop the moisture that is causing the ceiling to feel wet as termites are attracted to areas of moisture. Treating with the foam will not replace a soil treatment for termites around the structure. Please read the article, 'How to Do a Termite Treatment'.

The voting-eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America have pitched a ballot shutout.
For the first time since 1996, no players received the 75 percent of the vote necessary for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
This year's ballot featured 37 candidates, including 24 first-timers. Among those making their ballot debuts were several candidates whose alleged ties to performance-enhancing drugs likely doomed their Cooperstown chances. That group includes Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa, all of whom posted Hall of Fame-worthy numbers during their careers but of whom were clouded by PED suspicion.
Craig Biggio, a newcomer who wasn't suspected of PED use, also came up short despite finishing his career with 3,060 career hits. He was the leading vote-getter with 68.2 percent of the vote.
Among the holdovers, Jack Morris was believed to have the best chance after he earned 66.7 percent of the vote last year. But he fell short in his penultimate opportunity. In his final year on the BBWAA ballot, Dale Murphy also failed to achieve induction despite a heartfelt campaign led by his children.
There still will be a Hall of Fame induction ceremony this summer—at 1:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 28 at the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown, N.Y. The 2013 class is comprised of umpire Hank O'Day, New York Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert and 19th century player Deacon White, all of whom were elected by the Pre-Integration Committee.

11/3/12 NMU hockey line charts: Wildcats look to recover from shootout loss to Wolverines
November 3, 2012 - Matt Wellens
MARQUETTE — The Northern Michigan University hockey team hosts Michigan tonight in Game 2 of the weekend series at 7:35 p.m. tonight at the Berry Events Center.
Michigan won a shootout in Marquette last night by scoring three third-period goals to rally from a 4-1 deficit.
The Wildcats have a number of players out due to injury, including junior forward Jake Johnson (foot), senior forward Kory Kaunisto (shoulder), freshman forward Darren Nowick (hand) and sophomore defenseman Jake Baker (head).
One player not out tonight with an injury is sophomore Reed Seckel, who took a vicious hit to the head from Michigan defenseman Jacob Trouba in the third period. Reed has been cleared by doctors while Trouba is serving a one-game suspension after receiving a five-minute major and game disqualification.
For live updates from the BEC tonight, give me a follow on Twitter and make sure to check back later tonight, early Sunday morning for more from MiningJournal.net and the Inside 1401 Sports Blog.
Also, give me a Like on Facebook in case I tweet too much and land in Twitter Jail again tonight like I did last night while Kyle Follmer was taking the final attempt for NMU in the shootout. Whoops.

Bishop McDevitt's Anna Bailey has added to her list of javelin accomplishments.
Bailey, who has one year remaining at McDevitt, won the Region 2 Jr. Olympic qualifier on Friday afternoon with a throw of 140 feet 6.5 inches, which was more than 18 feet longer than her competitors. The win qualifies her for the national meet in Greensboro, N.C., next weekend.
Bailey, who was named to the PennLive/Patriot-News all-star team last month, won the Mid-Penn javelin title (131-4), the District 3-AA gold medal (record throw of 137-5) and PIAA-AA bronze medal (142-9).

|Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute
The broad subject of the art forms encountered in this unit is twentieth-century British culture. As a result of the three stages of the methodology, students are enabled to discover cultural beliefs (and learn that cultural beliefs are always imbedded in works of art). The student becomes a historian of sorts who uncovers cultural meanings through his own creative mental processes.
The unit initially explains Professor Jules Prown's methodology of material culture; this methodology is the basis of the unit. I have worked through applications of the methodology for use with the short story and the poem, and these subsequent applications are also explained.
Thematic pairings of paintings and works of literature are included in the unit. Thematic pairings allow the student two "keys" as it were with which to discover culture. Pairings also enable the student to become aware of the strengths and limitations of different forms of artistic expression. Two of these pairings or four works of art are extensively analyzed by me; they serve as particular examples of the methodology at work. They also provide the time-constrained teacher with classroom material. Additional unworked pairings are also included which might serve as beginnings for others in working through the method and/or discovering phenomena of twentieth century British culture for themselves.
Suggested lesson plans include:
(Recommended for English classes, grades 10 through 12)
- 1. a way of introducing the method to students
- 2. means to facilitate student engagement with the method
- 3. an idea for comparing art forms
- 4. an idea which promotes historical research (which will prove—or not—the use of the method)
- 5. ideas for creative endeavors for students which may underscore their remembrance of the entire learning process.

To say the recipes Chef Guy Klinzing shared during the Taste of Home Cooking School in the Decker Auditorium at Iowa Central Community College are "just like Mom used to make" isn't too far from reality.
"The recipes in the magazine are submitted by home cooks," Klinzing said Thursday.
Once the staff tests the recipes, they are published and some are selected for inclusion in the traveling Cooking School.

Melissa Duncan, of Rockwell City, left, and Kristen Folley, of Akron, who are Iowa Central culinary arts students, help prepare a batch of chopped onions Thursday at the Taste of Home Cooking School held in Decker Auditorium.
He has a goal for every audience.
"We want to inspire, educate and share recipes with them that have a direct application to their family," he said.
During the night, he shared 10 recipes that were a mix of appetizers, desserts and entrees.
"They were picked with the season in mind," he said, referring to spring.
Not only are the recipes within the reach of the average home cook to prepare, the results can exceed what they might expect.
"These are restaurant-quality meals for the home cook," Klinzing said.
Home cooks won't have to hunt for any exotic ingredients, either.
"You can find the ingredients at Hy-Vee," he said. "You need little or no specialized equipment either."
One of the things Klinzing enjoys about presenting the Home Cooking School is that he gets help from a variety of individuals, both on the stage and behind the scenes.
During Thursday night's school, a crew of first-year Iowa Central Culinary Arts program students were kept busy doing everything from chopping onions to making samples of the recipes.
"They're doing an awesome job," Klinzing said."They are first-year students that cook like pros."
One of those students was Melissa Duncan, of Rockwell City.
She had zero stage fright.
"I'm beyond excited," she said. "Helping with a live show is great in our resumes."
Taste of Home is a familiar publication.
"I grew up reading it," she said.
A fellow student, Kristen Folley, of Akron, was excited to be helping too. She didn't have stage fright either. Instead, she was looking forward to the experience.
"It will be fun to learn how to do this in front of an audience," Folley said.
At other shows, Klinzing has had homemakers and the wives of farmers, ranchers and miners help him.
When he's not busy with the 30 to 40 shows in 23 states that he does every year, he is a food consultant, an actor and singer, and - for fun - he's a storm chaser.
In addition to Thursday night's Cooking School, those attending could visit with vendors set up in the nearby Hodges Fieldhouse.
One of them, Abbie Laufersweiler, of Fort Dodge, has only been in business as a Jamberry independent consultant for three weeks, so the show was her first.
She was busy showing potential clients how to apply the stick-on nail decor she sells. But once the cooking lessons began, she was headed for the auditorium.
"I'm going to try to get there," she said.
Sondra Godsell, of Belmond, was making an evening of it with her mom, Donna Cooper, of Iowa Falls. The tickets were an early Mother's Day gift.
"She deserves something nice," Godsell said.
That might have included the chair Godsell was trying out at the Mikos & Matt Fine Furniture booth. Not only does it recline and offer a foot rest, it also features a USB port to power electronic devices.
Corinne Mikos, co-owner of the store, was happy to demonstrate it.
"It gives you the juice," she said.
She, too, was planning on making it into the auditorium for the cooking demonstrations.
"It's really a fun experience," she said. "It's fun to get new recipes."

HARRISON TWP. — The Clearview Regional Board of Education recently held a public hearing on its $33.4 million budget for 2012-2013.
The board amended the budget at the public hearing to include $24,047 of federal Medicaid funding.
The tax levy is just over $15.7 million. Harrison Township's tax rate will decrease by less than two-tenths of a cent. So, a resident with a home assessed at $200,000 will see a decrease of $2.39 in regional school taxes. Harrison Township's tax rate will be 64-cents per $100 of assessed valuation.
In Mantua Township, which is currently undergoing a revaluation, the tax impact cannot be determined at this time. Mantua's tax rate will be 68-cents per $100 of assessed valuation, according to Clearview Business Administrator Esther Pennell.
The board previously approved the inclusion of a budgeted withdrawal of just over $1 million from capital reserve for completion of the second phase of the athletic fields.
Clearview saw a 5.2-percent increase in state aid this year, equaling $724, 918.
The board had previously approved moving the district election to November, so residents will not have the opportunity to vote for or against the proposed budget. Pennell said there were only four people in the audience at the public hearing, and no comments were made.
Last year, voters approved a $15.4 million levy in which residents of Harrison Township saw a .6-cent tax rate increase from the previous year and Mantua Township residents saw a .6-cent tax rate decrease. The average Harrison Township resident paid about $12 more in taxes, while the average Mantua Township resident paid about $7 less.

Ernest Hemingway: Targeted by the FBI
Friend reveals regret for dismissing writer's fear that he was being targeted by J Edgar Hoover
… his life has suggested another contributing factor, previously dismissed as a paranoid delusion of the Nobel prize-winning writer. It is that Hemingway was aware of his long surveillance by J Edgar Hoover's FBI, who were suspicious of his links with Cuba, and that this may have helped push him to the brink.
Writing in the New York Times on the 50th anniversary of Hemingway's death, AE Hotchner, author of Papa Hemingway and Hemingway and His World, said he believed that the FBI's surveillance "substantially contributed to his anguish and his suicide", adding that he had "regretfully misjudged" his friend's fear of the organisation.
Quoting Hemingway: http://www.famousquotesabout.com/quote/The-world-breaks-everyone/82238
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms, 1929 ~ US author & journalist (1899 – 1961)
"…It's the worst hell. The goddamndest hell. They've bugged everything. That's why we're using Duke's car. Mine's bugged. Everything's bugged. Can't use the phone. Mail intercepted.'
says Hemingway became more agitated on the trip, demanding they stop and watch two men working in a bank as he was convinced they were rifling through his accounts by order of the FBI. The worried author also recalls how Hemingway, during the same visit, identified two strangers as FBI agents who were following him.
After the two incidents Hemingway was admitted into hospital, where he was given electric shock therapy and unsuccessfully attempted to commit suicide on several occasions. It was this behaviour that led to any dismissing his claims that he was an FBI target as fanciful and delusional and his claims were still unproven when he died in 1961.
But in the 1980s, the author's complaints were found to be justified, when the agents released their file on him following a Freedom of Information request. The FBI were intensely interested in him and had made notes about his attempts to launch an anti-fascist spy network and reported to then FBI President J Edgar Hoover that the author was physically and mentally ill…"
(Did FBI surveillance push Ernest Hemingway to the brink of suicide?)
The revelation that Hemingway had been targeted for surveillance by the government intelligence unit headed by J. Edgar Hoover, is consistent with a well-documented history of American citizens held under suspicion by the FBI or the scores of other less well-known spy agencies within the government, military, and civilian sectors.[2]

PARSIPPANY — A Morris County Superior Court judge has dismissed a GOP primary challenge alleging illegal absentee votes could have cost two Parsippany council candidates the June election, the Daily Record reported.
Judge Thomas Weisenbeck ruled against GOP challengers Vincent Ferrara and Michael Strumolo Thursday, according to the report. They had alleged voter fraud and other violations of voting procedure resulted in a disproportionally high number of mail-in ballots cast for Robert Peluso and Louis Valori.
As previously reported by NJ.com, Strumolo's case hinged upon testimony from James Vigilante, a former Parsippany councilman who lost his June primary bid for county clerk, but attorneys were unable to serve him with a subpoena to testify. Witnesses testified that Vigilante had summoned them to pick up and sign for mail-in ballots that he had at his home office, and later drove them to the board of elections office to deliver the ballots.
Weisenbeck ruled there was "significant cause for concern about Mr. Vigilante's conduct but that conduct did not impact a significant amount of ballots enough to change the vote," according to the Daily Record report. Under state election law, candidates are not allowed to possess or handle mail-in ballots.
Ferrara was on a ticket with Barberio and would-be council newcomer Milin Shah. Strumolo ran separate from a slate.
A late-June recount later reaffirmed Valori's and Peluso's victory, but Weisenbeck allowed Ferrara and Strumolo to subpoena people they believe could prove that enough illegal votes had been cast to alter the election's outcome.
Peluso received the most votes with 2,095. But Ferrara and Strumolo claimed there were enough illegal votes to put them ahead of or even with Valori, who had 1,805 votes. Ferrara took in 1,741 votes while Strumolo garnered 1,728.
Strumolo's lawyer, Brian Aoila, previously told NJ.com there were at least 200 absentee ballots he considered fraudulent, but said he didn't have an exact tally.
Ferrara alleged in his petition that there were an unusually large number of absentee ballots and that there were enough illegal ones to change the election's outcome. He also cited three names of people who voted twice via mail-in ballot, and lists the names for 71 other votes he says were illegal.
On the absentee ballots that appear illegal, the handwriting on them doesn't match up, Ferrara has said. Ferrara has said he wouldn't speculate as to how different versions of handwriting could appear on the same ballot, but said he wanted to ask people in court whether they actually cast their own votes.

A blog for Milwaukee-area residents
who garden or value food grown close to home
Dig In! readers have posted several cool photos in "Your Photos Gallery," which makes them eligible for a random drawing for $50 at the end of June.
There's still plenty of time for you to snap a photo of your young plants in the ground, or in containers anywhere they happen to be, and send it to us. It's an easy way to win $50, and we think you'll agree that it's fun to check out what other gardeners are growing, and how creative they are at tucking food-producing plants in unexpected places. We know some people have moved grass to grow food this year.
Courtney Melville tucked strawberry plants in her small backyard vegetable garden in Wauwatosa, and the photo she posted is a certain sign that juicy strawberries are coming soon.
Mary Wepking proved with her photo (at left) that you can grow plenty of food even if you live in downtown Milwaukee.
And Vilas Kraut of Wauwatosa posted a photo that shows an herb garden beside the back door for convenient access.

Chickens soon could be roosting in a backyard near you. Fresh eggs are the latest rage hatched by urban local food enthusiasts who say nothing beats an egg with a deep golden yolk, still warm from the henhouse. City dwellers in Madison can keep backyard egg layers, but local residents do it on the sly.
Should city or suburban residents be allowed to keep chickens for eggs in their backyard?

Once petroleum futures contracts were bought and sold by people who actually used the oil. The contracts helped smooth market fluctuations and ensure a steady supply at a predictable price. In other words, they worked to increase stability in the oil market.
Today petroleum markets are a sandbox with no stability to be found. The advent of global electronic oil markets has meant huge increases in trading volume, without effective regulation and with such flimsy reporting and tracking that it is impossible to know who is gaming the system or when.
This demand for so-called "paper barrels" of oil, bought merely for quick financial speculation, has added 25 to 50 percent to the price of crude, according to numerous experts and economists.
These critics aren't populist cranks. They include oil company CEOs who agree speculation is disrupting prices in the worst way. The only ones denying the problem are the investment banks that are raking in major profits and the Bush administration.
The White House sees nothing wrong with wild price swings enriching the investment houses that brought us the subprime mortgage crisis, while average citizens not only have to worry about keeping their houses but filling their tanks to get back and forth to work.
Fortunately, Congress sees much wrong with this. That's a good thing, whether the sudden Capitol Hill interest in bringing regulatory order to oil market chaos is motivated by empathy for average Americans or, as is more likely, old-fashioned political self-interest.
Congress should take straightforward steps to ease the upward price pressure from speculation. Job one should be closing the "Enron loophole," the provision that the now-defunct energy company pushed through Capitol Hill eight years ago that eliminated most government regulation of the electronic trading of oil.
Hiring more regulators to oversee the markets is also essential. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission has fewer staffers than at any time in its 33-year history, even as activity on the markets it oversees has exploded.
Other important measures include increasing reporting requirements so regulators can ferret out manipulation and limiting the amount of investments that can be made using borrowed money via "margin" accounts.
None of these steps is radical. They are the same sort of sensible controls that brought stability to the stock market after unrestrained speculation fueled the 1929 crash. And it is important to note that much of what is being proposed for the oil markets isn't new regulation so much as re-regulation -- restoring rules that had been in place until the Enron loophole was created.
Sensible re-regulation of the oil trading markets would be the right thing to do even if the experts were wrong that speculation adds 25 to 50 percent to the price of crude. Cutting gas prices even 10 percent would be a serious boon to Americans and the economy at a time when gas is $4 a gallon and rising.

The Vicariate Apostolic of Temiskaming, suffragan of Ottawa, Canada, is bounded on the north by Hudson Bay and the Great Whale River; on the south by the height of land, or watershed, except in the Temiskaming district, where the southern boundary is 47° N. lat.; on the east by 72° W. long and on the west by 91° W long. It was erected on 22 Sept., 1908, by dividing the Diocese of Pembroke . Father de Bellefeuille, S.S., and Father Dupuy of Montreal, first preached the Gospel here in 1836. Annual visits were made to the Indians of the district, missions being held at the Hudson Bay Company's trading posts. The Oblates of Mary Immaculate were given charge in 1843. Father Laverlochère was the first of these zealous missionaries. They established a residence at Fort Temiskaming in 1863, but removed to Ville Marie in 1886. Lumbering succeeded the fur trade and was followed by agriculture, the fertile shores of Lake Temiskaming rapidly attracting settlers. Railway construction with the discovery of silver and gold (1903), advanced the Ontario section. The Catholic population of the vicariate is about 20,000, including some 5000 Indians. Haileybury, Ontario, is the residence of the first vicar Apostolic , the Right Rev. Elie-Anicet Latulipe. There are 17 parishes, 20 missions, and many stations, served by 21 secular priests , 4 Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (who have a college also), and 9 Oblates of Mary Immaculate. The Marist Brothers, the Sisters of the Assumption (novitiate at Haileybury), the Grey Nuns of the Cross, the Sisters of the Sacred Heart, the Sisters of xxyyyk.htm">Providence, and the Sisters of the Holy Family conduct four boarding-convents, two hospitals, and one industrial school and refuge for Indians, besides several parochial schools. The Rt. Rev. Elie-Anicet Latulipe, D.D., was born at St. Anicet, Province of Quebec , 3 Aug., 1859. Ordained on 30 May, 1885, he was successively curate at St. Henri, Montreal, chaplain at the convents of the Good Shepherd, Montreal, and St. Anne's, Lachine, rector of Pembroke Cathedral, and pastor of Haileybury. He was named Bishop of Catenna and first Vicar-Apostolic of Temiskaming on 1 Oct., 1908, and consecrated on 30 Nov., 1908.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

After fifteen years, Rob Brandt finally earned the highly sought-after Chili Cook-off trophy and more importantly, all the bragging rights that go with it.
"The fact that I could never crack the top ten was motivation enough to keep trying," Brandt said. "I've always made good chili, but I like it hot, so sometimes that would count against me. I could not believe that I won. It really capped off a great week for me professionally and personally. Now I have the pressure to do it again this September."
On September 19, Brandt, along with about forty other talented teams will assemble along the first two blocks of LaGrave Avenue for a day of intense cooking and competition, better known as the Twenty-Eighth Annual Chili Cook-off.
And even though Brandt is the afternoon host on Classic Rock 97 WLAV, which along with Harley Davidson of Grand Rapids, is a sponsor with The Cottage Bar & Restaurant, he has no more advantage than anyone else. A board of judges, culinary experts, and media personalities choose the best in a blind taste test.
The general public, for fifty cents, can sample and pick its favorites as well. In fact, the annual event, which starts at noon and runs most of the day, has always served as a benefit for various community outreach programs. This year, as in 2008, the proceeds from the Chili Cook-off will go to Gilda's Club. If you come, come early, said Cottage Bar owner and host Dan Verhil. "Last year's event was the largest we've seen," Verhil said, added last year's event raised more than $10,000.
The Mark Arshak Band and Jimmie Stagger will be providing the musical back drop with lots of other activities such as Tabasco samples and a possible visit from the local fire department for any of those five-alarm chili emergencies.
