deodorizing agents in our arsenal. The
decision of which methods and agents
to use will depend on several factors; the
amount of contamination present, the
depth of penetration, the construction
of the carpet, the fiber content, the
installation method, the sub-floor type
and the size of the affected area must all
be considered.
Pineapple Grilled
Pork Chops
Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple rings, juice
drained and reserved
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 pork chops
1 pinch ground black pepper
Directions:
Mix together the drained pineapple
juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and
garlic powder together in a large
plastic zipper bag, and smush the
bag a few times with your hands to
mix the marinade and dissolve the
sugar. Place the pork chops into the
marinade, squeeze out any air in the
bag, seal it, and refrigerate overnight.
Reserve the pineapple rings.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium
heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Remove the chops from the
marinade, shaking off excess, and grill
until browned, the meat is no longer
pink inside, and the meat shows good
grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
Brush several times with marinade
and let the marinade cook onto the
surface of the meat. Discard excess
marinade. While the meat is grilling,
place 4 pineapple rings onto the
grill, and allow to cook until hot and
the slices show grill marks; serve
the chops topped with the grilled
pineapple rings.

Men and
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is often thought of as a
disease that affects only elderly women.
But each year just as many men as women
die of complications from hip fractures.
Osteoporosis becomes more prevalent in
women beginning at age 60 and in men
at age 65. While men can be affected by
osteoporosis, there are still many insurance
companies that will not pay for routine
screening for men.
Until recently, research into the causes and
treatment of osteoporosis focused only
on women. Now researchers are taking a
look at men and their bone density problems. The drugs used to treat osteoporosis
in women have been found to be very successful in men as well. Men also have
the same calcium and vitamin D requirements that women have and should be
supplemented if their levels are found to be low.
New recommendations suggest that men should have their bone density tested
beginning at age 65. If your doctor has not suggested this test, be sure to ask at
your next visit. With timely detection, osteoporotic fractures in men can be greatly
reduced, leading to better health and longer life.
