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.

We are opening up our next reversal signal to the financial and business community to provide greater awareness of this prediction resource," said Mr. Geddie.

According to Mr. Geddie, the NDX Forecast has two components, the major market reversal signal, which is particularly useful for individual and institutional long-term investors, and the two-year forecast, which is particularly useful for business planners. Investors are signaled with e-mail alerts when forecasted major market reversals begin. A major market reversal is identified in the NDX model when two conditions exist: (1) a minimum percentage movement of 20 percent and (2) a minimum time span of twelve months.

Due to the overwhelming need for effective, safe, stress management tools, Dr. Doris Jeanette, a student of Dr. Joe Wolpe, the father of Behavior Therapy, has developed a new mind body anxiety treatment. The Center for the New Psychology offers a six week, self help, support group Oct. 19th, 2005 in Philadelphia. You learn the basic skills needed to relax your body, calm your nervous system and tame irrational thoughts.



In the summer test group, every student significantly lowered their SUDS (Subjective Units of Discomfort) level and reported fewer anxiety attacks. The Center limits adult groups to 6 members. This ensures that each man or woman receives the personalized attention needed for relaxation. "Everyone can unlearn anxious behaviors and replace their anxiety attack with conscious choices and clear thinking," says Dr. Jeanette, a licensed psychologist who has been teaching people different ways to relax for thirty years. "We cover everything a person needs to be successful, such as, the difference between fear and anxiety, how to quickly stop hyperventilating and what to do when you are too anxious to relax."



Since one of the major symptoms of anxiety is obsessive thoughts that cause insomnia and compulsive behaviors, the Center's health and wellness approach teaches the relaxation skills and learning information needed to tame repetitive thoughts. Doris Jeanette is author of A Natural Process for Opening the Heart, three tapes, CDs or written transcripts that teach you how to breathe fully, calm your mind, relax your body, stop hyperventilating and stay with yourself in daily anxiety situations.



Her drug free anxiety treatment teaches lifetime relaxation skills for stress as well as practical mind body tools that improve self esteem and emotional health. Dr. Jeanette's new self help, support group starts October 19th, in Center City, Philadelphia and will continue through out the year.
