I love the designs from this cartidge! I use them constantly for the church bulletin boards and for my crafts. Very versatile!
This is one of my favorites. I use it on cards, scrapbook pages, and my calendar!
I love this cartridge because it gives you multiple images & words phrases for every holiday through out the year. I have been using this to make a set of cards that includes 2-4 different cards I can send out each month of the year and this cartridge delivers. The images and the word phrases all have "flourish" to them which gives it a more elegant effect. Layering is minimal - 2 to 3 different colors, so not too complicated.
This would have been 5 stars if you could have simplified the text images. In order to have the whole phrase you need all four layers. Personally it's just too busy. If you have cut just the full text and it's shadow, that would have been perfect. That wasn't obvious from the images available on the site. I'm really regretting this purchase.
I've only had this cartridge for a few weeks and already it's become my "go to" cartridge. I've made several cards with it. The key pad is a little confusing at first and figuring out just how small you can go was a little tricky, but being able to coordinate the layers of lettering colors with the card is really cool.
I know it takes practice, but the instructions just need to be clearer. Overall I like the images, but some can be frustrating to figure out.
I love this cartridge! The flourish adds the perfect touch to holiday decor and greeting cards. The pictures alone make a great guide. I'm very happy with this purchase.

NEWPORT CITY - The Act 250 Board went into recess Wednesday evening while the owners of a talc mine work out some details for The Agency of Natural Resources. The mine is located near the Loop Road in Troy.
Because of a low market, the owners of the talc mine stopped working the property 20 or so years ago. Now officials from Imery's Talc Delaware Inc. based in Ludlow want temporary reclamation of the mine until they decide what to do with it.

The state owes the Massena Central School District $800,000 and the Salmon River Central School District, Fort Covington, $3.4 million to cover tuition for Native American students who live on the reservation and attend those schools.
State Education Department officials said they recognize the significance of the payments and are working to expedite them.
Massena Business Manager Nickolas P. Brouillette said his district received $879,000 of the $1.68 million it was owed, leaving a balance of $801,000.
We received a payment this fiscal year. It was for half of the amount that was due to us. The money we received was for the 11-12 school year, Mr. Brouillette said.
Natascha Jock, business executive at Salmon River, said the state owes her district payments dating as far back as the 2010-11 school year.
They include $3.4 million for Native American tuition at Salmon River Central School, but $12.3 million overall when including the St. Regis Mohawk School. That doesnt include 2012-13 funding, she said.
The St. Regis Mohawk School is budgeted separately from Salmon River and is funded completely by the state, Ms. Jock said.
Slightly more than 200 students live on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation and attend Massena Central.
Salmon River Central had 526 registered Mohawk students attending school last year.
The two districts arent alone in waiting for payments.
In conversations with other districts, there are schools that are far worse than us, Mr. Brouillette said.
Twelve other schools are impacted by the Native American tuition aid. Some other schools havent received aid since 2010. Some schools are several million (dollars) behind and they end up having to borrow money against receivables.
Mr. Brouillette and Ms. Jock said that contacting elected officials was one avenue to try to get the money, but that so far it hasnt worked.
It seems to be slowed up by all the contracts being renewed around the same time, Mr. Brouillette said.
Massenas contract, which is negotiated between NYSED and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, expired in June.
Salmon Rivers contract expired in June 2010 and was just renegotiated, Ms. Jock said.
In talking to the people at the state Education Department who work in the Native American Division, it doesnt sound like well be receiving anything until the next fiscal year, Mr. Brouillette said.
At Salmon River, Ms. Jock said she believes it may be weeks rather than years before the district receives a payment.
Were doing short-term revenue anticipation notes to keep the money flowing until we get the money, she said.
NYSED spokesman Thomas Dunn said the department is working to get funding to the districts as soon as possible.
We recognize the significance of these nonresidential tuition payments to the districts and are working to expedite the process, Mr. Dunn said in an emailed statement.

About Me New Owner
Comments about Dr. Harvey's Sweet Potate'r Chews Dog Treats:
I had ordered these once before and noticed a few differences with my second order. The peel is now included and the pieces seem smaller. I used to use these to put in a Kong but now they are really too small to do that effectively. I probably won't order again. That being said, my dog does eat them right up.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great treat
By Riley's mom

My dog is pretty finicky and gets tired of just about everything. He loves these and has for years. I can count on them every time to be consistently good and good for him.
Great product!!
By Linda
from Kalamazoo, Mi
My older dog is on a low protein diet and there's not many treats out there that she can eat. I usually make my own dog treats but these are great to have on hand when there's just not enough time.
I buy this product once every 6 weeks

My dog has kidney problems, so he can only eat treats that are low in protein. The sweet potato treats are great for him, and he loves them.Beverley Smith
Very easy to use chews
By Susan's hubby
from SW Ohio
Our 5 lb shorkey loves them and we often give her one at our meal-time so she has something. It would work very well if we could finish our meals in about a minute since that is about how long it takes her to finish one of these.I might add that with larger pieces of dried sweet potatoes, she will go hide it and come back to the table hoping that we will give her something.
Repeat Purchase of the Yummy Treats
By J
from Simpsonville SC
Bought these again for pomeranians as they do not eat a big variety of snacks. They look forward to these tasty treats that help their teeth. Also they seem to like the strips vs the larger slices that I had to cut for portion control. I was concerned about them being a choking hazard but much to my surprise they do just fine.
By Alicia

Elvis and Stella (Cavalier King Charles Spaniels) love these treats. A good price for a quality product!

Great Natural Snack or Treat
By wendell parrish
from Maineville, Ohio
My little Jake, Yorkshire Terrier, has MVD, Microvascular Dysplasia, and gets very little protien. He is on prescription food and meds and will be for the rest of his life. He was two years old July 31,2011. These treats are great for him and he loves them, they replace the real meat that he cannot have. I usually cut them into smaller pieces and he gets about three pieces a day for his snacks. As long as they produce these snacks I will be purchasing them for Jake.

Successful H. pylori eradication therapy remains a challenge in medical practice. Despite promising data for first-line, second-line and rescue treatment options based on clinical trials as well as guidelines and expert recommendations, success rates can often not be reproduced in general practice. Rescue options for patients with failed initial or second-line therapy are definitely needed. The new fluoroquinolone moxifloxacin may represent an effective and save treatment option (in combination with a PPI and amoxicillin) for rescue therapy of H- pylori positive patients.However, optimal duration of therapy (7-day course vs 14-day course) has to be determined

Successful H. pylori eradication therapy remains a challenge in medical practice. Currently, a PPI - based triple therapy containing clarithromycin, amoxicillin or nitroimidazole given for 7 days is the recommended first line treatment approach with an expected eradication success rate of approximately 80%. As second-line treatment option in case of failure, a RBC-based quadruple therapy is currently recommended curing another 80% of patients, leaving a subset of patients with persistent H. pylori infection. Resistance to fluoroquinolones is low in most countries,hence these compounds are potential candidates for second-line and rescue treatment. The new fluoroquinolone moxifloxacin launched by Bayer in 1999 for the treatment of respiratory tract infections, has a broad antibacterial spectrum comparable to levofloxacin but fewer phototoxic and central nervous system excitatory effects. The possible role of moxifloxacin in H. pylori eradication is since under clinical investigation

1849 – March 8, 1912
Early years in Memphis
Leon Howard appeared in various Memphis city directories beginning in 1870, when other family members were also listed in the census. He was 21 that year, living with his mother, Ellen, who was head of household; Fannie Faulkner, an 80-year-old woman who was probably Ellen's mother; and his three brothers, Thomas (22) and Jeptha (19), both working as steam-boatmen, and Marcus (12), who would be called Muke or Mukes in later censuses. There were some interesting peculiarities in this record. Marcus, the 12-year-old, was reportedly the only family member who could read. Ellen, Leon, and Marcus were identified as white, while Fannie, Jeptha, and Thomas were said to be mulatto.
There is little information about Howard's childhood, including whether he or other family members were slaves. Freedmen's Bank records for both Leon and his brother "Jepp" mention their parents, Harrison Howard and Ellen Howard. Leon also stated that he was born in Marshall County, Mississippi, so it is likely he and his siblings were born into slavery.
There were several Harrison Howards listed in census and military records. The 1882 Memphis City Directory listed an African American laborer by that name living at 27 Ruth Street. USCT records include an artilleryman named Harrison Howard from Davis, Kentucky (5'7", black complexion, black hair, black eyes). And Nashville City Death Records name Harrison Howard, 134 N. Cherry (4th Avenue), who died July 2, 1903, and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery. We have yet to connect any of them to Leon's family.
Memphis city directories generally listed Leon's occupation as "porter" during the decade between 1870 and 1880. A news article in the Daily Appeal on January 15, 1874, showed him to be a candidate for patrolman in an upcoming political election.
The 1880 census found Ellen Howard (53 and born in North Carolina) still acting as head of household and keeping house. Living with her were her sons Leonidas (30), Jephtha (26), and Muke (23), all born in Tennessee, all working as laborers, and all able to read and write. Also in the household was Pricilla [sic] Walker (40, born in Mississippi, listed as a daughter, although Ellen would have been only 13 years old when she was born). Leon was working as a porter for Hill and Mitchell (boots, shoes, and hats, 324 Main St.) in 1880 and 1881 and as a cook in 1882.
Howard's election to the Tennessee General Assembly
The emergence of Leon Howard onto the Shelby County political scene in 1882 seems to have been as much of a surprise to Memphis voters as it still is to historians. Howard's name appeared on the November ballot as a "low-tax" Republican candidate, facing three other African American contenders who were much better known in Memphis politics: Thomas F. Cassels, Isham (Isaac) F. Norris, and William F. Price. Norris and Price had agreed to run as fusionist Democrats in a deal that would ensure their support of Governor William B. Bate and Senator Isham G. Harris. If successful, the fusion movement, brainchild of attorney Edward Shaw, Shelby County's most powerful black political leader, would guarantee African Americans a forceful and enduring voice in Southern politics. Shaw complained that the Republican party had not adequately improved conditions for his people and no longer deserved their support. He hand-picked his candidates: Norris, a wealthy businessman (wood & coal, "staple and fancy groceries," feed, and tobacco) had already served one term (1881-1882) in the Tennessee House; Price was a highly respected farmer from Bartlett. Despite a zealous campaign by the editorial staff of the Memphis Daily Appeal to convince white Democratic voters to support Norris and Price, the only black elected to represent Shelby County in the 43rd General Assembly was Leon Howard, who had remained with the Republican party. All four black representatives in the General Assembly that term were Republicans from counties in southwestern Tennessee: Howard from Shelby County, Boyd from Tipton (in his second term), McElwee from Haywood, and Rivers from Fayette.
The Memphis Public Ledger offered faint praise to Howard in an article published right after the election: "It appears oddly enough that two low-tax Republicans are elected to the Legislature, instead of Norris and Price, the colored Democratic nominees. Dr. Ramsey voted against the 100-3 and 60-6 bills, and was highly commended for his moral courage and regard for the rights of the people at the time. Howard, the colored low-tax Republican, is spoken of as a very respectable representative of his race. So it is not so bad after all, although we regret the defeat of Norris and Price. These men, however, will have a showing some other way."
Howard listed his occupation as "restauratuer" [sic] in the information he provided to the legislative clerk. (The 1882 Memphis city directory said he was a cook.) He also stated that he was 33 at the time of his election, born in Marshall County, Mississippi (census records uniformly say he was born in Tennessee, and his mother in North Carolina), single, and a member of the Congregational church. The only legislative committee he served on was Military Affairs; Samuel McElwee served on the same committee.
Leon Howard introduced five bills during his term. The first, offered very early in the session (January 5, 1883), was to repeal Chapter 130 of the Tennessee Code, the state's first Jim Crow law, permitting discrimination in public transportation and facilities. Black legislators attempted to repeal at least some portion of Chapter 130 in nearly every session (Sykes, 1881; Norris, 1882; Howard, 1883; and Hodge, 1885). After Howard's bill was tabled on February 13, he introduced a modified version of the same bill on February 20, attempting to repeal only the portions of Chapter 130 referring to common carriers and permitting suits against them. That bill was sent to the Judiciary Committee, where it languished.
Howard offered three other bills that black legislators in other sessions had also attempted to enact. The first, to prohibit extramarital sex between white men and black women, echoed a bill offered by Thomas F. Cassels in 1881. The second, to appoint an Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction who would oversee black schools, would be introduced again by Greene Evans in 1885, at the request of the governor. Howard's third bill, to require compulsory school attendance of Shelby County children between the ages of 8 and 12 for at least 12 weeks per year, would be reissued in a slightly different form by William A. Feilds in 1885. Although virtually every one of Howard's bills would eventually become law in some form, during his term in the Legislature all of them disappeared into the committee system, where they failed to receive any support.
Marriage to Estella Bryand, working life, and move to California
In 1883, the same year Howard both married Estella Bryand and served as a state legislator, the city directory listed him as a partner in a firm operating a boarding house, Odeneal & Howard; in 1884 he was again listed as a laborer. There are no directory entries in 1885 or 1886, when the family may have lived for a time in Washington, D.C. [A December 22, 1883, news article in the Washington, D. C., Evening Star mentions the appointment of a Leon Howard as a laborer by the officers of the House of Representatives, along with a page and a messenger. Perhaps a Tennessee House member had submitted Howard's name for that position.] The family returned fairly soon to Memphis, where Leon worked as a clerk (1887), a porter at the Gayoso Hotel (1888), and a janitor at the Custom House (1889-1892). It is important to understand that janitorial positions were highly regarded among 19th century African Americans – such jobs, particularly in important government or civic buildings, were well paid and considered highly desirable. A janitor was responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of a major building, was trusted to move about freely in high-security areas, and was often placed in a position of supervising other workers.
At some point the family decided to move west, and they apparently struck out for California in 1893 or 1894 – once again we are reminded how much information was lost with the 1890 census – and Leon's name appears in Bakersfield voter registers in 1894 and 1896. By the time of the 1900 census, Leon (50), married since 1883, and his family were well established in Bakersfield, Kern County, California, where he was once again working as a janitor and had earned enough money to buy the house they lived in at 1020 I Street. His wife, Estella [son Wilbur's death record says her maiden name was Bryand], was 35, born in Tennessee, and had given birth to five children, all currently living with them: Leon S. (16, born in Tennessee), Blakemore (15, born in the District of Columbia), Henry B. (11, born in Tennessee), Annie P. (9, born in Tennessee), and Wilbur Stanley (6, born in Colorado). There is no information about whether the family merely passed through Colorado on their way to California, or whether they actually settled there for a time.
Later years
In 1902 Leon Jr., then 17 or 18, was mentioned in an article on the sports page of the local newspaper. His coach, speaking of an approaching interscholastic track meet, wrote, "Leon Howard and Hugh Allen are about neck and neck in the 440-yard run. They both have plenty of grit and ought to make a fine showing." The 1910 census showed the Howard family living in a house they owned free and clear at 805 8th Street, Bakersfield, and the City Directory for that year indicated their household owned a telephone. Interestingly, the census listed the entire family as white. [The 1894 Kern County voter registration rolls described Leon as 45 years old; five feet, five and one-quarter inches tall; with a light complexion, blue eyes, and light-colored hair.] Married to Leon for 26 years, Estella, 45, had given birth to one more child after the move to California – Irma, now a 9-year-old school girl. Leon Jr., 25, was a concrete worker for city buildings, although by 1912 he was a secretary for the Western Grocery Company; Annie, 19, had a job as a stenographer in a local department store; and Wilbur, 16, worked as a barber in a "city shop," a profession he would continue for many years, although by 1930 he was selling insurance. Leon's brother Jeptha also lived in Bakersfield with his family and worked as a janitor at the Bank of Bakersfield, but his name does not appear after 1910. There was a 17-year-old boy named Leonidas G. Howard, known as "Lon," in another Howard family in Bakersfield. His father, George C. Howard (53), was born in Tennessee in 1857 – early records indicate that although George was not a brother, he may have been a cousin.
California death records show that Leon Howard died in Kern County on March 8, 1912, at the age of 63. He was laid to rest in Union Cemetery, Bakersfield, in the Haven of Rest plot, number 180-12. After 1912 Estella had her own directory entry, in which she was always identified as "wid Leon." Of the children, only Leon S. and Wilbur ever had individual entries in the Bakersfield directory. No information about Blakemore and Henry has come to light after the 1900 census.
According to Wilbur's 1917 draft registration card, he was working by that time as a barber in Oakland, California, and was partly responsible for the support of his mother. He did serve as a private in the U.S. Army during World War I. Three years later, the 1920 census showed Estella to be renting a house in Oakland, with her children Erma (18, still in school) and Wilbur (26, still working as a barber) living with her. She may have been buried in Oakland – although Leon's grave is marked with a double stone, his is the only name carved into it. Wilbur, an Army veteran, is buried in Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, California. KBL 11/15/2012

BLOOMINGTON, Minnesota (KARE) -Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world.
Now there's a brand new treatment for those with glaucoma. It's a micro-stent, called the iStent.
Robert Poirer, a retired ophthalmologist, has glaucoma which can lead to blindness due to increased pressure in the eye. Eye drops from two medications reduced his pressure only so much. So when he heard about the iStent, he made sure he was one of the first in line.
"As a retired MD, this has been the most eye opening experience that I've ever had," he says.
Dr. Thomas Samuelson with Minnesota Eye Consultants was the primary investigator on the FDA trial for the tiny one-millimeter iStent, which drains fluid from the eye to lower pressure.
"These new stents are completely novel. There has not been anything like them in the past," Samuelson says.
He says it is safer than getting traditional glaucoma surgery because the iStent is implanted during cataract surgery.

UPDATE: As reported on our Twitter, the Rangers have recalled defenseman Ilkka Heikkinen from Hartford as Wade Redden will be unable to skate Saturday night in Buffalo. Heikkinen was a standout at training camp, though needed some North American seasoning in the AHL before making the NHL-jump. This season, he is second to Bobby Sanguinetti in defensive scoring with 16 points in 24 games and a +6.
Heikkinen's contract is less expensive than Sanguinetti, which may have been a major factor in recalling him rather than another more experienced defenseman.
Today, the Chicago Blackhawks will announce the signings of Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, and Duncan Keith to extensions.
While these signings will not affect the current salary cap, they could most certainly put the Blackhawks over the limit for next season, something that is prohibited by the CBA.
So, with pure conjecture, is it possible that yesterday's moves by the Rangers could signal an upcoming move between the Rangers and Chicago?
It is not likely, particularly with two cap-strapped teams, and if we have learned anything from the salary cap era, it's that teams can find space if they want to, which is what Chicago most likely has done.
But for the sake of debate, could a trade work between these two clubs and , if so, who could the Rangers be looking at?
Young and talented right winger Patrick Sharp, 8 - 14 - 22 this season, has popped up in trade rumors since the summer. At 27 years old, Sharp can play center as well as the wing and is a reasonable cap hit at 3.9 million through 2012.
He would likely cost the Rangers a top prospect, possibly defenseman Ryan McDonagh who was acquired as part of the Scott Gomez trade to Montreal, a high draft pick such as 2nd or 3rd round, and a player like Ales Kotalik who has a comparable cap his at $3 million and the same length of contract.
It could be a little thin from the Rangers end, but is not far-fetched.
Defensemen Brent Sopel and Cam Barker are also possibilities, as the Rangers are in need of some considerable experience on the blueline.
Barker has a cap hit of just over $3 million through 2012 while Sopel is at about $2.3 for another season.
Barker, at 23 years old wouldn't necessarily give the Rangers much experience, but he can play a physical two-way game.
Sopel is a veteran at 32 years old and would provide the Rangers some leadership.
However, for either of these deals to work, you would think Michal Rozsival would have to be involved so Chicago would have to include at least one other player to make the cap implications work.
Could Sopel and Sharp be packaged for Rozsival, a second round draft choice, a player like Enver Lisin, and a top prospect? Possibly, but whatever trade may transpire, Chicago has to take back less salary than they are giving up and the Rangers don't have a whole lot to work with.
It could get interesting, or it could remain the status quo, but with Erik Christensen on the roster, the Rangers have quite a few centers and when Brandon Dubinsky returns, someone has to go.
More this afternoon.

Seattle is the 23rd most-populated city in the United States and the largest city in the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle is often known as the birthplace of grunge music (or the Seattle Sound) with such bands as Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden originating in the city.
While Seattle is possibly most famous for its rain, the Space Needle, grunge music, and Starbucks, there are numerous other reasons why Seattle has become a great place to rent an apartment or rental house.
Seattle is known for its outdoor recreational activities. From hiking, to biking and white-water rafting, Seattle has a great deal to offer the outdoor-loving renter.
However, when renters need an alternate mode of transportation, Seattle boasts an extensive public transportation system in addition to a monorail line. Traveling to Seattle or from Seattle is facilitated by the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (aka the Sea-Tac Airport) located in nearby SeaTac.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Anyone looking for 1998 Norwood-Norfolk Central School graduate Philip DeLorenzo will find him these days in Portland, Oregon and in your local Redbox movie rental machine.
Mr. DeLorenzo composed the musical score and is one of the actors in a 2011 movie called Pathfinders: In the Company of Strangers, which was released on video in January and is available for rental via Redbox.
Its the true story of the American Pathfinders, the volunteer paratroopers whose deadly mission was to land 30 minutes before the Normandy invasion, locate and mark strategic drop zones and set up the top-secret navigation equipment needed to guide the main airborne assault on D-Day.
Mr. DeLorenzo, a 2002 graduate of SUNY Plattsburgh with a bachelors degree in theater who later joined the U.S. Army, plays a character named Francis in the World War II film and is also credited for its musical score. The independent film was the winner of Best Screenplay at the Alaska International Film Festival.
After I left the military, I moved to Portland, Oregon. Thats where I responded to an audition to be an actor in a film here, Mr. DeLorenzo said during a telephone interview from his home in Portland.
It was an independent film. It was not a huge Hollywood production. The budget was probably around $100,000, he said.
The film, however, uses the actual C-47 Boogie Baby plane from that era, which is now operated by the non-profit WWII Airborne Demonstration Team.
It uses actual planes and actual guys jumping out of a World War II plane, Mr. DeLorenzo said.
He said he knew it was a World War II film before he auditioned for a role with several other actors.
There were a lot of people there. I got called back and went back and did a screen test. They just liked the way I look for the 1940s. I just look like a 1940s kind of guy. Ive gotten that a couple of times, he said.
Mr. DeLorenzo said he initially auditioned for the specific role of Livingston, but that part eventually went to Michael Conner Humphreys, who played the young Forrest Gump in the Tom Hanks movie Forrest Gump.
I moved up to a bigger role, he said.
Because the film recreates a night event, filming took place in most cases beginning at sundown, according to Mr. DeLorenzo
Since the whole film took place at night, it was literally sundown to sunup. We were filming as soon as the sun went down and we had enough darkness. We had generators for lights in the field, he said.
Filming, he said, took place from approximately May to October.
It did get kind of cold. What was really brutal was when we had to lie on the ground. The earth literally just sucks the heat right out of you. It literally just draws it right to the ground, he said.
But Mr. DeLorenzos role in the project was more than just as an actor.
One thing I did do was compose the music for entire film, he said. My dad is a musician. I learned music from my dad. I was introduced to music when I was very, very young, piano and drums. I played pretty much anything. I even played spoons while I was a kid at church. I kind of have a natural music ability.
Mr. DeLorenzo said he had two years to compose the music for the film.
I built a computer specifically for it and installed everything I needed and learned everything I needed to compose. I also knew I had two years to do it, he said.
He composed the music without having the footage to view.
I actually did mine blind. I literally just got emails and talked to Curt (Sindelar), the director on the phone. He would say, at 1 minute 17 seconds can you up the intensity, at 2 minutes 15 seconds I need a loud drum here. I was writing this information down and writing a melody around his requirements, he said.
Mr. DeLorenzo works as a computer programmer, something he said he was always interested in, but has also started his own company.
Im actually making films on my own now. I have a feature film that I canned already. Im doing editing as well, he said.
The Portland area is ripe for films, he noted.
There have been a few shows filmed here. Leverage was filmed here. Grimm was filmed here. The people that I have on my crew now, they all did film on Grimm and they film huge feature films. They did work with Cuba Gooding Jr., he said.
Mr. DeLorenzo, who has an uncredited role in an episode of Leverage, said hes working on a new feature.
Were writing it now. Ive got a web series Im also doing and a short film thats about to be released, he said.
Mr. DeLorenzos parents, Alexander and Francine DeLorenzo, reside in Norfolk, and the elder Mr. DeLorenzo said they were ecstatic to see a film with their son in the Redbox machine for rental.
I didnt know it was in Redbox until somebody called me and told me, he said.
He recalled his son acting in Arsenic and Old Lace while he was a student at SUNY Plattsburgh.
I said to my wife, I couldnt believe it, he was good, Mr. DeLorenzo said.
He said the younger Mr. DeLorenzo also had a talent for music, so he wasnt surprised to learn that his son was using his talents in the movie.
He can not only compose and act, but he is extremely talented on the guitar. I knew hed been in the studio playing guitar, he said. Im proud of him.

Happy holidays from the Huskies!
We're just days away from Washington's Holiday Bowl match-up against Nebraska, and it's not looking very California-ish in San Diego. Heavy rains flooded Qualcomm Stadium this week, but the football gods appear to be in our favor as the weather report for game day is for 56 degrees and party sunny.
A quick reminder that the official pre-game party for Husky fans in San Diego is the Husky Holiday Warm Up presented by WallyPark Premier Airport Parking. I'm on the party planning committee and have the inside scoop: this baby is going to rock, trust me. The UW Alumni Association goes all out for Warm Up parties each year, but nothing compares to a UW bowl game.
The night before the football game we are hosting Husky Happy Hours at Moondoggies and Pacific Beach Bar & Grill down by the beach in San Diego. Happy hour prices go all night for fans wearing purple, and I'll be there with the Flip camera in hand. Keep checking the blog for all the Holiday Bowl details.
Last but not least, we're selling limited edition buttons and "I love the UW" T-shirts tied to this year's Holiday Bowl festivities. Game day buttons have been a UWAA tradition for decades, but this is the first time we are making them available to the general public. Cost is $10 for a souvenir button and proceeds go to UWAA scholarship programs. It's a good cause, and all your Husky buddies will want one.
For all the info on Holiday Bowl activities, including where to watch the game with fellow Huskies, check out our Holiday Bowl site. See you in San Diego!

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
Carbon commissioners have decided to increase the county's financial support for the local drug court program.
Four Corners Behavioral Health administrative director Jan Bodily approached the Carbon County Commission for the financial assistance due to statewide budget cuts that will affect the substance abuse treatment facility in many facets, including the felony and family drug court programs.
As the county has supported the program from its onset, the commissioners were open to increasing the funds and opened local government's upcoming budget to allow for a $67,000 increase to the program.
According to Bodily, the program will take up to a 20 percent cut in state funding for a program that has proven to be successful at locations across the nation.
Started in 2005, the Carbon County program has gone a long way
Drug court participants are screened by a group consisting of:
â¢Four Corners staff.
â¢Carbon County Sheriff's Office.
â¢The accused criminal offender's attorney.
â¢The county prosecutor.
â¢The drug court judge.
Once accepted into the drug court, individuals are put through an intensive five phase program that has immediate sanctions and incentives based upon the participants' behavior.
"The program has been incredibly successful," said Four Corners substance treatment coordinator Curtis Sudweeks. "I think the drug court is so successful due to several factors including the amount of support given, intensity of the treatment and the longevity of the program."
Sudweeks reported the conventional treatment method can have a 20 percent rate of success, whereas drug court programs are seeing between 50 percent and 70 percent of their clients have sustained recovery.
"When we screen for the program, we look for individuals who have committed a felony that may be conducive to treatment," explained the treatment coordinator. "Large scale distributors and violent offenders are usually not admitted to the program."
The current felony program has five phases that can last for anywhere from 12 to 15 weeks.
The final phase of the program focuses on weening participants off of intensive treatment.
Participants are required to report to their assigned tracker and four corners daily.
They also must complete the center's intensive outpatient program (IOP) and submit to random urinalysis via a state-of-the-art process that detects agents which have traditionally caused problems by hiding abuse from substance treatment professionals.
The felony drug court has slots for up to 30 clients, while the family program can handle up to 15 participants.
However, Sudweeks in dicated that the family drug court has tried to stay closer to about 10 individuals because of worries about ongoing state funding.
"Originally, the programs were funding by federal, state and county monies," commented the Four Corners representative. "However, the federal money was always meant to seed the program and then back off. It is state and county monies that we rely on to keep the program running."
At the present point in time, the county's felony drug court program is servicing 22 individuals with one applicant being considered.
However, one of the redeeming points of the program is that all participants in the county drug court are required to perform community service work hours throughout their time in the court and as a project before graduation.
According to the drug court staff the projects and ongoing service are meant to teach participants that giving back to the community is a vital part of their recovery.
"This program is working," concluded Sudweeks. "We need to do whatever is necessary to keep it working in this community."

Twister 341 Wire Connectors: One-Size-Fits-All Wire Splices
Filed under: Electrical
Wire splices are pretty easy to knock out, especially if you're using twist-on wire connectors. You just strip the wires, give them a light twist, and screw on the connector, right? There's just one thing… you always need to have different-sized wire connectors on hand for different wire gauge ranges. Forget about carrying around one box of tiny loose parts – you have to carry along two or three, just to make sure you're covered. Annoying.
Well, Wire Splicing's annoyance factor has just been taken down quite a few notches by Ideal's Twister® 341® wire connectors. Unlike the usual gauge-specific wire nuts out there, these babies are practically one-size-fits-all, but they're a heck of a lot cooler than those tacky $5 tourist t-shirts that bear the same description. Twister 341s are designed to accommodate wires ranging anywhere from #22 to #8 AWG, which, in regular speak, means most common wire sizes, whether they're thin or on the chunky side.
Aside from their versatility, I also really like the fact that Twister 341 wire connectors have two built-in wings, which help you to get a better grip for easier twist-ons. Inside, the splice spring is actually square-shaped, which gives you a sturdy connection that won't shake loose from vibration over time. And then they're the extra long strip of plastic "skirting" along the bottom edge, which gives you improved dielectric coverage to contain possible flash-overs.

The coating resins business that was formerly part of Cytec Industries Inc. today announced that it has become an independent company with the completion of the previously announced sale from Cytec to funds affiliated with Advent International. The coating resins business, which will adopt a new brand name in the coming months, is one of the leading global producers of coating resins with a broad product portfolio and leading market and technology positions.
"Today is an exciting first step on our journey as an independent company," said Frank J. Aranzana, chief executive officer of the coating resins business. "We thank Cytec for its many years of support and now look forward to the next chapter in our continued growth. We believe our future holds great promise for our employees, our customers and our suppliers. With the support of Advent, an investment partner with proven expertise building strong global chemicals companies, and our talented employees around the world, we intend to pursue and achieve the many growth opportunities before us."
The new company is performing well. It is one of the largest producers in a $30 billion global market that is growing strongly, as end users seek cost-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies for their coating processes and individual applications. Advent and the new company see many opportunities for further development.
"Our focus for the new company moving forward will be to ensure that it is a leader in the product categories and geographies that present the best growth opportunities now and well into the future," said Ronald Ayles, managing director and head of Advent's chemicals practice. "We will work closely with the Management Team to invest in the company and its people to grow its U.S. and European businesses and to expand its product offerings and deepen its penetration in emerging markets such as Asia."

IT'S ABOUT TIME — The NHL and NHLPA Finally Agree on CBA
Kevin Schultz
It's amazing that it took this long, but hockey's back.
The news of a tentative agreement on a new CBA broke in the middle of the night, at around 5am this morning after a 16-hour negotiating session. It's almost as if both sides were working extremely hard trying to get a deal done, with urgency that had not been seen during this entire process.
For the last two days the two sides came together for marathon negotiations in New York City. Both sides realized that they would lose the season (or worse) if an agreement wasn't reached soon. For months the sides didn't meet, or had negotiations that ended in posturing and blustering. It was a carnival show that dragged on for months, and drove pretty much everyone all of us crazy.
It's too bad that the two sides weren't working this hard in September or October, when the first games were going to be cancelled. In hindsight, missing regular season games wasn't something they were concerned about. Only when it came closer to killing the season was there any sense of urgency. They stopped the runaway train just in time. There was no nuclear option used. Smarter heads prevailed and we narrowly missed something much worse — the NHLPA's disclaimer of interest hammer could have thrown things for a loop or the cancellation of another entire season.
Neither side is an angel here. The players knew full well what they were doing when they hired Don Fehr. His job was to keep them united (he did) and get the best deal possible for the union (he likely came close). The owners were out to crush the union again after winning such a decisive victory last time around. No one won here; the fans, players and owners all lost, some more than others.
But now, we can move on.
Hockey's back. It's about time.

So the title of the thread needs to be answered:
What in the world happened to Quake Live?
I have been gone the past 6-7 months from the game, taking a break and playing other online games at the moment. But I haven't been REALLY follwing the QL community in a while. I REALLY don't mean to sound like I'm trolling here, I really don't, but heres a list of what I see different:
- Absolutely no CTF pub games?
- Almost all servers are empty in America?
- Can't even vote a map?
- 30 second video ads?
- No automatic renewal on premim/pro memberships?(I just noticed this happened to my account)
- Can't even duel without Premium/Pro accounts?
- Everything seems to be, gone.
If you guys can answer this question for me, THAT WOULD BE GREAT
If not, well, cheers,

Women's Basketball Downs Minnesota, 63-52
OMAHA, Neb. - Behind 22 points from senior Sarah Nelson, the Creighton women's basketball team downed Minnesota, 63-52, on Saturday, Nov. 16.
The win lifted Creighton to 2-1 on the season, while Minnesota fell to 2-1 overall.
Down 4-3 in the opening moments, the Bluejays took the lead for good on the first of 11 three-pointers from Creighton. Nelson drained an open trifecta from just to the right of the top of the key to make it 6-4. Following a Minnesota turnover, fellow senior Jordan Garrison put down another three-ball from the corner to make it 9-4.
From there the Bluejays' flight was in high gear, Creighton pushed its lead to 12 points at 21-9 via an 8-0 run from the 11:08 mark to 7:32. Freshman Brianna Rollerson got the run started with a layup from the right side. A steal by sophomore Marissa Janning led to a three-pointer from junior Sammy Jensen, then Janning knocked down a 12-foot jumped to make it 20-9 with 10:08 left in the half. Nelson capped the run with one-of-two from the line with 7:32 on the clock.
The Golden Gophers battled back, cutting Creighton's lead to 26-20 with 3:13 in the half. The Bluejays, however, responded with a 10-2 run to close the half on three-balls from Garrison, freshman Lauren Works, two free throws from Nelson and a jumper by junior Alexis Akin-Otiko to send the Bluejays into halftime with a 36-22 edge.
Minnesota opened the second half with an interior bucket, but Creighton's Minnesota native (Janning) responded with a three from the top of the key to give the Bluejays their largest lead at 39-24 (19:06).
The Golden Gophers chipped away at Creighton over the next five minutes, cutting the Bluejay lead to single-digits at 39-30 with 14:47 left. Remembering how their 17-point edge on the Golden Gophers slipped away last season, the Bluejays were determined to prevent history from repeating itself on Saturday afternoon.
Nelson took the fight to Minnesota with a traditional three-point play to make it 42-30 (14:02). The battle went back-and-forth as the two teams traded buckets over the next seven minutes.
Leading 51-40 with 6:55 showing on the clock, scored on consecutive possessions to get as close as the Golden Gophers had been since the first half, 51-44.

Questions on Pesticides?
- National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC)
You may have seen people selling them on the street or in small neighborhood stores. They go by names like Tres Pasitos or Chalk, and they come with a guarantee to kill roaches, mice and other household pests like nothing else on the market. But most such products are illegal. And illegal pesticides can hurt much more than roaches. They can harm you and your family.
On this page:
Illegal pesticides are often much more toxic than registered pesticides -- those pesticides that EPA has approved -- after strict testing -- for use in your home. They often come in familiar shapes and packaging. EPA has identified illegal flea and tick repellents for pets, antibacterial cleansers, mothballs, and other products that claim to get rid of household pests.
Across the country, EPA has initiated an effort to protect consumers from these products. In areas where illegal products are an acute problem, EPA has increased enforcement actions against companies selling or distributing illegal household pesticides. EPA has also increased efforts to raise public awareness of these product dangers.
Why be concerned?
Many illegal pesticides are very toxic. Others contain unknown ingredients, or the ingredients may vary from time to time. Some of the illegal products are also available to the public in legal, EPA registered versions. However, consumers may unknowingly purchase or obtain the illegal versions. Though the illegal products may look similar to and make the same claims as their legal counterparts, these products have not been thoroughly tested. And since the products are unregistered, their labels have not been reviewed for clear directions and safety warnings.
Common Illegal Pest Products
mothballs | pet products | insecticidal chalk | "Tres Pasitos" | antibacterial products
Illegal naphthalene moth repellent products -- mothballs -- pose a hazard to young children. Mothballs can be easily mistaken for candy, or simply tempt young children to touch and play with them. Recent studies have linked naphthalene to illnesses, including nasal cancer. Widespread sale and distribution of these products make illegal mothballs a particular concern.
Illegal Pet Products, including
foreign-labeled, unregistered versions of the common pet products Advantage
and Frontline, have been illegally imported and sold throughout the U.S.
Though registered for use in other countries, some foreign-labeled versions
have omitted important warnings, especially those pertaining to children,
that are required in the U.S. Versions imported from such countries as
England and Australia often give doses in metric units, which can cause
Americans to accidentally over-dose or under-dose pets.
Read more about counterfeit pesticide products for dogs and cats.
Retailer information about counterfeit pesticide products for dogs and cats (PDF) (4 pp, 360k, About PDF).
Illegal Insecticide Chalk is also known as "Miraculous Chalk" or
"Chinese Chalk." You may have seen the chalk in a neighborhood
store or sold on the street for about $1 a box. It is mostly imported
illegally from China and often bears a label in both English and Chinese.
Sometimes the manufacturer claims that the chalk is "harmless to
human beings and animals" and "safe to use." These claims
are untrue and dangerous.
Read more about insecticide chalk.
"Tres Pasitos" is imported illegally from Mexico and other Latin American countries. Its name means "three little steps" in English, because after eating it, this is all mice can muster before dying. The active ingredient (or the chemical that actually kills the pest) in "Tres Pasitos" is a chemical called aldicarb . EPA considers aldicarb to be a very toxic chemical - and one that should never be used in your home. Children are especially vulnerable to poisoning by aldicarb when it is sprinkled around the home to control roaches, mice and rats. Exposure to high amounts of aldicarb can cause weakness, blurred vision, headache, nausea, tearing, sweating, and tremors in people. Very high doses can kill people, because it can paralyze the respiratory system. What "Tres Pasitos" does to pests, it can also do to you.
Antibacterial products.
Many common household products, ranging from cleansers to cutting boards,
claim to protect against bacteria. Such claims are illegal unless the
product is registered with EPA or the claim only applies to protecting
the item itself from damage by microorganisms, not to provide additional
health benefits. In addition, the pesticide used to treat the item must
be registered for use in or on the treated item.
Read more about consumer products treated with pesticides.
What You Should Do
There are many other illegal pesticides sold on the street and in some small neighborhood stores. All of them should be avoided. You have no way of knowing how dangerous an unregistered pesticide is, because it is not subject to testing requirements or manufacturing controls that registration provides.
Here are some simple rules to follow when looking for a
pesticide to use in your home:
(Example product label)
Look for an EPA registration number on the pesticide's container. This number tells you that EPA has reviewed health and environmental information about the pesticide, and if the label says so, that the product is okay to use in your home.
Look for a list of the active ingredients on the label. Any product registered with EPA must state the active ingredients on the label.
Trust your instincts. If a person offers you a product on the street, chances are it is illegal and could harm you and your family. Shop for pesticides only in stores you know and trust. If the shopkeeper gives you a product that is packed or wrapped suspiciously, don't buy it.
Contact the EPA Regional Pesticide unit that covers your location. EPA is happy to answer any questions you might have about pesticides you are thinking of using in your home. You can also call the National Pesticide Information Center at 1-800-858-7378.
Be aware that EPA registers some pesticides (like farm pesticides) that are not meant to be used in the home. Look for information on the label that states that the product can be used by the general public, indoors, in the home.
When you do find a pesticide that is registered with EPA for use in your home, always remember to read the label first. EPA reviews all pesticide labels before products can be sold. If you follow all the label directions, you will reduce your risk of harming yourself and the environment. The label provides important information you need to protect yourself and the children in your care.
