About Pork Barrel BBQ
Pork Barrel BBQ was founded in December 2008 during the peak of the economic crisis to prove that a company not owned or operated by the federal government could succeed, and that if you had a good idea, it was still possible to grab a piece of the American Dream. Pork Barrel BBQ founders, Heath Hall and Brett Thompson, ran the company out of the basement of their houses, selling their award winning BBQ products one bottle at a time. In less than one year, their Pork Barrel BBQ Sauces and Spice Rub were carried in over 1,000 stores in 38 states. Throughout their journey, they have stayed true to their mission – to unite the nation through the great tradition of BBQ, and bring bipartisan flavor to your next meal. The Pork Barrel BBQ Competition BBQ Team entered its first contest, The Safeway National Capital Barbecue Battle, in June 2009, and walked away with two trophies – Second Place in the “Nations Best BBQ Sauce Contest” and Fourth Place for their pulled pork in the Memphis In May portion of the contest. Since then, the team has won multiple awards, including the “People’s Choice” award for best BBQ sauce in 2010 and other notable Memphis and May and Kansas City Barbecue Society BBQ competition accolades.

Infant Hurt by Mother’s Odor

Infant Hurt by Mother’s Odor

Bacterial vaginosis has been discovered as a cause of certain health risks for newborns.

Memphis, TN (PRWEB) February 23, 2006

“Among pregnant women, bacterial vaginosis may cause up to 10% of low-birth weight deliveries, and in several studies has been strongly implicated in increasing women's risks of becoming infected with other STD and with HIV,” reported Xagena Medicine.

Bacterial vaginosis is not caused by poor hygiene. Many women are struggling to find a permanent cure. Often this condition is treated with antibiotics, but they are often expensive, ineffective, and may not rid patients of the problem completely.

One company in Memphis believes they have a natural solution to get rid of bacterial vaginosis. A spokesman for Selmedica Healthcare Corporation said, “It doesn't mask the symptoms of BV, it eliminates the odor and the painful itching and swelling that goes along with it. Enzara is a 100% natural and safe treatment for BV and the burning, itching, and fishy odor that accompanies it.”

Charmaine McKenzie was suffering depression because nothing seemed to cure her vaginal odor. “I was skeptical because I had the odor for so long that I though I would live with this for the rest of my life. For over a year my doctors had me on metro-gel which didn't work for me.”

McKenzie had resigned to living the rest of her life with this problem. Then she turned to Enzara. “I tried Enzara and in three days the odor was gone,” McKenzie said.

“I’m a Celeb-ratty...Get Me Out of Here”

“I’m a Celeb-ratty...Get Me Out of Here”

Yet again, as another series of “I’m a celebrity..” ends, the animals used in the making of the programme outshine the B-list celebrities on TV. While the contestants can now go back to their nice, warm homes, those surviving animals who stay behind have nothing to look forward to except another series where they will be used and abused for UK TV audiences

(PRWEB) December 18, 2005

Yet again, as another series of “I’m a celebrity...” ends, the animals used in the making of the programme outshine the B-list celebrities on TV. While the contestants can now go back to their nice, warm homes, those surviving animals who stay behind have nothing to look forward to except another series where they will be used and abused for UK TV audiences.

Cavyrescue – the UK’s first dedicated rodent rescue and welfare charity– are just one of a number of animal organisations and individuals nationwide campaigning for this mindless cruelty to stop.

Jason Hulott from the charity says: “Despite all the protests of previous years’, the latest show was the worst yet for the animals. Unfortunately rats were the number one phobia for most of the contestants and domestic rats were used in at least eight trials, all of them cruel and placing the animals in constant fear, and danger of being injured and trampled on and worse.

“Domestic rats are more akin to living in comfortable cages in people’s homes and - cruelty aside - this sort of environment is not only alien to them but potentially life threatening as it brings on medical conditions such as respiratory disease.

“Worst of all, there were some tails presented for the contestants to eat, along with parts of kangaroo and crocodile. This show goes out all over the world and is presenting a disgusting example of how to treat animals for entertainment.”

The charity is urging people to put a stop to this mindless cruelty by campaigning until the TV production company stop using rats and treat all the other animals appropriately in their show.

Richard Lee, CEO at Planet DDS said, “Scalability, price structure, and access to outsourced services make Denticon web-based software an ideal solution for group practices. We are excited to service DHA’s software needs and look forward to working with such an impressive organization.”
