Just a gentle reminder... the rockband.com RBN forums are for discussion of music and the RBN. If you bring music out on some other rhythm game platform, it's not really appropriate to promote it here.
Speaking of other song releases, hows Unicron and Ashes Forever coming along? And I thought some of your songs sound pretty cool to be honest. Plus I wanted to buy some of the Missing Chromosomes songs.

Me and Cipher are pals
Jibs has an awesome taste in music
Ashes Forever, I'm still waiting on new audio files. Unicron, I'm waiting to hear back from Lee (the drummer I've been contacting this whole time), but he hasn't replied to me since the band broke up and Courtney joined iwrestledabearonce.
And as for my song releases, I cannot promise anything. My XNA runs out soon, and I'm hoping I have enough time to release the stuff already in review, and hope to release at least some of the other stuff. If push comes to shove, I just might release it via other authoring group.
Addicted to bad movies since 2008
Okay, so as of a few minutes ago, my annual XNA membership renewal was cancelled, resulting in me no longer being a premium member of Creators. However, this does not mean the end.
With the permission of the authoring company and guidance of Lachesis, I will be uploading the songs via ThatAuthoringGroup. This means all the songs I've been working on will now be released in TAG's name. I, however, will still be the sole author (for the majority, anyway, since I did branch out on a few songs). This will hopefully not only result in quicker releases, but also higher quality releases, since I will be running them through IT first, which is something that's not really possible as a sole author, since you're used to your own authoring and all.
Here's to the future of the RBN and a thanks from Harmonix for making a program that I could be a part of and actually have fun. I will miss testing and reviewing songs, but that's life.

Arizona Cardinals defenders hope Horton stays
May have, anyway.
With news that the Cardinals fired Ken Whisenhunt Monday came the natural question of who the team would get to replace him. Whisenhunt, after all, was in charge for the last six years and had some success, so people wonder what's next for the franchise.
It's been speculated that Horton would be in line for the job -- or a top job somewhere.
"That's the nature of the business, we know how it goes," Campbell said. "He will be a great head coach in this league, so I wouldn't be mad at him if that happened.
"It's just the way the business is, but I love playing for him and I hope I can play for him for a long time."
To a man, everyone on the defense was hopeful Horton would not go anywhere. Linebacker Daryl Washington said "hopefully he somehow does stay" and cornerback Patrick Peterson lamented the fact that the defense would have to start over if Horton left.
Every player understands it's possible Horton has coached them for the last time, though as of now it appears there's a chance one of the game's rising coaching stars will stick around.
"He's important to us," safety Kerry Rhodes said. "He's brought a different mentality for us on that side of the ball and he's a guy that we know is a hot commodity, we know that teams are going to come after him."
At a Monday afternoon press conference, team president Michael Bidwill confirmed that Horton will indeed be among the first candidates to be interviewed for the post.

United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner
Eastern District of California
Huron Man Pleads Guilty to Defrauding IRS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Monday, June 18, 2012 |
FRESNO, Calif. — Evodio Moreno, 51, of Huron, pleaded guilty today to one count of mail fraud, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
According to the plea agreement, Moreno defrauded the Internal Revenue Service by filing tax returns in the names of deceased individuals. As a result of this scheme, Moreno fraudulently obtained more than $48,000 from the IRS between 2002 and 2004.
This case is the product of an investigation by the IRS Criminal Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Mark J. McKeon is prosecuting the case.
Moreno is scheduled to be sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Anthony W. Ishii on August 27, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. The maximum statutory penalty for mail fraud is 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.

Hi there,
I love zines. It;s the whole handmade aspect and being able to read and see what is important to the people who make them. I started making zines in high school in the 90s and I still love the art form after all these years! I started with "Jot Outlet" which was more of an artsy, prose-filled perzine. Then I did "the HSSreader" which was more of a miniature magazine with interviews and reviews and such. My most recent series is my "College Doodles" collection which is a mini zine series comprised of all my doodles from my entire associate's degree, from 2007-2010. I also make some one-time-only zines and comics and have plans for several more to come.
Here are a few links if you are interested...
...in checking out or buying my zines or comics, see:
my etsy shop!
...and if you want to see a little more, check out:
my blog!
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013. Exhibition on the blog http://zineshow.blogspot.com All works will be exhibited also in the gallery "tymutopiyapres" http://tymutopiyapres.blogspot.com is not a commercial gallery. Welcomed but not "necessarily" summary of your zine or about you or your creative work (this is necessary for further elucidation of the project and possible documentation). Zines for the exhibition please send air mail: "Zineshow" A/C 9875, Sadivnycha 19/1, 79038, Lviv, Ukraine.

In the fall of 2008, as Sen. Joe Biden pondered the delicate task of debating Gov. Sarah Palin, his debate team honchos circulated an internal preparation memo. The first sentence: "No candidate for president or vice president in the history of the country has had more advice on what to say than Sen. Biden has on his debate with Sarah Palin." Biden's then chief of staff Ted Kaufman, who's been friends with Biden for 40 years and was a part of that debate prep, recalled the line to CNN. "And it's absolutely true," Kaufman said of Palin, then the governor of Alaska and a popular yet polarizing politician mostly unknown on the national stage. "Everybody had an idea about how to deal with Sarah Palin. And I think most of it wasn't the issues. It was more of just how do you deal with her because she is so unique.
Paul Ryan's debate preparations are as meticulous as he is.
An aide to Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan accused TIME Magazine of "poor judgment" in its decision to publish photographs of the Wisconsin congressman working out on the day of his debate with Joe Biden.
The moderator for Thursday night's vice presidential debate is Martha Raddatz, senior foreign affairs correspondent for ABC News since 2008.
Less than a week before the second presidential debate, President Barack Obama pulled no punches when talking about his Republican opponent at a campaign rally Thursday, accusing Mitt Romney of going through "an extreme makeover."
By the numbers: Swing states
Hours before the only vice presidential debate this campaign, six new polls provide more evidence that the race for the White House is extremely tight. The surveys were all conducted after last week's first face-off between President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney, and they indicate the Democratic and Republican tickets are all knotted up in the battleground states of Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin and Colorado.
President Barack Obama's advantage over his Republican challenger in Pennsylvania is now at eight points which is right on the edge of the sampling error, according to a new poll.
The race between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney remains tight in the battleground of Nevada, a poll released Thursday shows.
The most recent polling confirms what both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney know: that the shape of the U.S. economy remains, by a wide margin, the single biggest issue facing American voters.
On Nov. 6, there's a very real possibility that many Americans with disabilities will not be able to vote because their local polling places will be inaccessible.
The Republican National Committee chairman took to Mitt Romney's defense Thursday, saying the GOP presidential nominee has been unwavering on his position about abortion this cycle.
Remarks from one of President Barack Obama's top campaign aides on the terror attack in Benghazi, Libya, drew a sharp rebuke from Mitt Romney Thursday at a campaign event in North Carolina

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is My Child Too Sick To Go To School?
—A fever is considered a temperature of 100 degrees or higher—A fever is a sign of illness. Your child should be free of fever for 24 hours without fever reducing medication before returning to school.
Pink Eye
—Pink Eye is also called conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis can result from many causes including viruses, bacteria, or allergens.
Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are highly contagious. Most viruses and bacteria that cause conjunctivitis are spread through direct hand-to-eye contact from contaminated hands. People can get conjunctivitis just by touching or using something that has been infected by a person who has the eye infection. This is why people who are diagnosed with conjunctivitis, particularly children, should stay home until after treatment is started to avoid infecting others. Infectious conjunctivitis (viral or bacterial) can also be spread by large respiratory tract droplets. Bacterial conjunctivitis is less common in children older than 5 years of age.
Allergic conjunctivitis is common in people who have other signs of allergic disease, such as hay fever, asthma, and eczema. It is caused by the body's reaction to certain substances to which it is allergic.
—A rash may cover the entire body or only one area. If the rash is draining, has open areas or is causing the child to itch excessively your child should not attend school. They should also stay home for a rash that is accompanied by other symptoms like fever, sore throat, irritability, or vomiting.
Sore throat/Colds/Cough
—Minor cold symptoms shouldn't interfere with your child attending school. A frequent cough and/or constant thick nasal drainage is a sign that your child might be contagious and more comfortable at home.
Strep Throat—
If your child has been diagnosed with strep throat, they must be on an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school.
—A child who has vomited should wait 24 hours and be able to retain solid food before returning to school. A child with frequent diarrhea should not go to school.

Sheep for the lambs
WALNUT — The sheep are no longer grazing the hillside east of Walnut.
Instead, the 20 sheep, handmade by long-time Walnut resident Guido Ledergerber, have been delivered to Newtown, Conn., a gift in memory of the 20 young children murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School Dec. 14.
"I had a dream," Ledergerber said.

To compliment David's post I wanted to attach the PDF of a Digital Storytelling book that was shared with me over the weekend from my Twitter community. It is too large of an upload (27 MG's) so I am including the download link for you. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/digital-storytelling-tools-for-educators/4758345 I am also placing a separate Digital Story presentation in my "Shared Files" widget on my blog page ( http://blog.innovativeeducator.us)- it is titled "Digital Storytelling." Just click on the PDF and it will prompt you to download the file and save the file to your computer. I use the presentation when I teach F2F and blended learning courses with educators in the Midwest.
Here is also a link with over 64+ digital storytelling web 2.0 tools for your review. And I have to include Bernajean Porter's Digitales website- the best of the best! Who knows, maybe these will assist our Intel Fireside Chats in th future :-)
Hi Sandra:
You are certainly welcome. The gentleman certainly has given time to thinking about the difference(s) between storytelling and spectacle. I have found that the spectacle idea has been associated with all technology use in the classroom since so many kids have been taught that it is a "day off" as opposed to being taught that technology should be seamlessly integrated into their daily routine, just like paper and pencil usage.
I have posted this in another discussioni area but thought I'd put it here, too, since it is germane to this thread. It is a hot list of free music resources I put together a while back for digital storytelling workshop participants whom I have taught.
It's nice that we can all share such thing here. Folks can also check out the many resources available at my Louisiana Region 6 TLTC web site at http://www.rapides.k12.la.us/region6tltc/index.htm Sharing ROCKZ!
David thank you so much for the wealth of musical resources to compliment the digital story segment. You are a true gem!
Have you had an opportunity to use the following online music mixers to create student generated musical compositions?
Great resources, Naomi. I just wish your blog (heck, MOST blogs) weren't blocked in my school district. But I'll view it tonight.
The Digital storytelling ebook is pretty cool. I saw another one recently, too, which I will post here if ever I find it although I have to think it's already been posted here or in another group.
You are certainly welcome, Naomi. Louisiana's TLTCs are all pretty generous with our resources when we have the time to share. Our state coordinator, Susan Gauthier, sets the example if anyone needs one for researching, sharing, and facilitating/teaching.
I have just bought a copy of the Karoake software and am about to give it a shot with some legal FREE music for an experiment. heck, it's only $30 but could prove to be a truly excellent program, handy for all sorts of things for presentations, videos, podcasting, and of course digital storytelling so long as users observe copyrights.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person who has challenges with blocked websites. I've been unable to log into this community recently at the district. I find that almost a week or two after I share some great site with others, the site becomes blocked. I've wondered if perhaps teachers learn about good tools for use in the classroom and the district blocks the sites due to an abundance of traffic. Who besides David and me has a problem with blocked blogs, wikis, and other web 2.0 websites? Who has successfully changed their school or district blocking policies and how did you do it? Inquiring minds want to know.
I agree with David that too often technology is seen as a "spectacle" in classrooms. Often it is used to "wow" students or visiting adults showing how a teacher's abilities - when really it is just a "show." In my opinion, technology should be more like oxygen. It should be present at all times. (Oxygen is part of the air we breathe right?) It should be invisible. (Oxygen and the rest of the gases in air are all invisible.) Most importantly, It should be in constant use. (Just not at the expense of everything else. While you need Oxygen to live, Nitrogen is also used and is very important in your body - just ask any scuba diver!)
Glen brings up a topic I've been thinking about a lot lately. I'm going to start a new discussion on this topic. Look for it here.
I know there are many timeline creators out there, but I found this one today
TimeToast Timelines http://www.timetoast.com/ and guess what? It is free!
Also, another comic stip creator I found is Strip Generator http://stripgenerator.com/strip/create/. I have not used this yet, but imagine it will require some monitoring from the looks of the first page. Have not dug far enough into it to see its policies yet.
You scare me Jill because I was using the stripgenerator last night while working on a presentation. This is my take on how to use it with students - you can bring them directly to the create page that you have posted to bypass the home page. What I love is that they can create without signup. Once completed they could do a print screen and save as a jpg. If they publish (as anonymous) then they can see other strips. Many are in other languages so I would definitely not let them do this because I have no idea if they are using profanity. I love the graphics for the strips because they are images that would appeal to students. I think the tool is worth a try.....
Am I really that scary? Wait, don't answer that
I definitely would bypass the home screen. Anytime you bring comics into the classroom you certainly grab the students' attention. Plus the fact that you are allowing them to create, brings in the higher order thinking skills.
Let's face it, with all the great web 2.0 tools out there that we as educators bring into the classrooms, there is always going to be something questionable on there. The way we handle it and address it determines if it will be successful. Half of the time the kids are oblivious to the "questionable content" and never even notice it. But, you can never be too careful.
I do agree the screenshots are the way to go. Once you have these, you can post them to a class webpage or wiki and then bring in some comparison and evaluation of the comics. You may even be able to throw in some visual ranking to show which cartoon captured the true essence of the assignment best.
I did not see this site listed in anyone else's post. It is called Bibme.
It allows you to create your whole bibliography for a paper instead of a single citation. Really cool!
Luv it - just added to LILI update that I am doing tomorrow
Another thing I noticed was after I created an account that someone was"friending" me on the site. I would definitely stick to the anonymous features with students.

Sarah A. Adams #75137786
Hi There!
My name is Don Toothman, researching the Coldwell families from England. Sarah A. Adams, is Dorethea "Lizzie" Marshall ADAMS(#120956569), who was married to Amos Coldwell in England in 1861, came here in 1869, their son Charles E. was born in New York before they traveled on to Illinois and then moving on to Rolling Prairie, Morris, KS, who knows, maybe the Santa Fe Trail?
To the best of my knowledge, they first appeared in the 1875 Kansas State Census, in Rolling Prairie, KS. I don't know if they had any other children in their 1st 8-years of their marriage, it doesn't like they wouldn't have. There is a gentleman in Find A Grave, by name of 'Chaz', who has done memorial's for both Amos and 'Lizzie', and I have asked through Messages and Emails, for transfer's...but no one seems to hear from him, so I took it upon myself to create new memorial's for Amos and Dorethea 'Lizzie' ADAMS-Coldwell, and today, I found your memorial on Lizzie's mother, 'Sarah'. Hope you don't mind, but I did connect Sarah A. Adams, to Lizzie's memorial.
I an not asking for a transfer, but just to tell you who Sarah belongs to, but I'm sure you may have already known this. Though I am not in Ancestry right now, but I suspect Sarah's husband 'William Adams', may have come over here from England, too?
Now, I will leave it at this, so I thank you, for your most valuable time, and GOD Bless!

Elizabeth Mauzey (1827-1896) married Alfred Williams (my 2 ggreat grandfather) and moved from Fleming Co., KY and moved to Crawford Co., Kansas and last was listed in the 1910 Census of Crawford Co, Kansas.

Really the "plant hanger" thing is just an easy example. The cool bit here is the trick for making fixed three- and four-way joints in ball chain using the commonly-known "straight" couplings, plus one you may not already know about. You can use it to make snap-together ball-chain nets or meshes of any size or shape, for any reason you might want to.

Introducing the Rhoads 1.5 from the Jackson Custom Shop. This short-wing, all maple guitar is the creation of Music Zoo owner Tommy Colletti and Jackson Masterbuilder Mike Shannon. Replicating the 25th Anniversary Rhoads identically is off-limits, so Tommy and Mike made a few subtle "Randy-style" changes to the model to create the 1.5. This one features a black finish, vintage trem, Seymour Duncan® Distortion & Jazz humbuckers, and a vintage logo on the headstock. The slim neck profile and 6230 fret wire help make it one incredible playing instrument.

I always liked this man. RIP
Compare this man to the piece of trash currently serving in his former position. A good man and a good doctor. I used to enjoy seeing his antique Rolls on Philadelphia streets with the "Koop" license plate.
First two posters: This is not the man I remember. I thought he was too liberal in the line of liberal surgon generals. May he rest in peace for at least he was honest in what he believed.
As an MD, he didn´t know enough science to understand the "studies" on second-hand smoke. He pursued a "government knows best agenda". For all that he was a good man and will be missed.
One of the few Surgeon Generals who actually practiced medicine on human patients.(One Clintoon appointee was a veterinarian).
C. Everett Koop co-authored a book with Francis Schaeffer entitled, "What Ever Happened to the Human Race?" They rightly about the slippery slope of abortion and euthanasia."Once the value of human life has been depreciated, as in Roe v. Wade and the Baby Doe Case, no one is safe. Once "quality of life" is substituted for the absolute value of human life itself, we all are endangered."
"They rightly warned about the slippery slope of abortion and euthanasia." - corrected
Hey, what´s wrong with veterinarians!!Just kidding, my dad was one, but he wouldn´t go to be Surgeon General.(I did take it personally when the villain on Bones killed one)
C. Everett Koop was a loon who liked to dress in H.M.S. Pinafore uniforms. There is no reason to spend taxpayer dollars on the office of Surgeon General.
I well remember back in 1986 when he predicted an "explosion of AIDs in the heterosexual population." Still waiting, Ev.
only concerned with making money.. for himself.. a PC quack..96.. only the good...

In each community, Larry made an impact. He coached and played soccer, played Rugby, golfed, and always had an active workshop in the garage. He was particularly enamored of creating and building things in his workshop, from amazing trellises for his gardens, to renovating the houses where he lived. He rarely sat still, unless it was to read a good book. He was an avid reader of biographies and historical information. He was always looking to figure out how things and people were put together.

He and Betty moved to Oakland in 2011 with their snuggly dog Oliver. He and Betty traveled widely, exploring the country and laughing often. Larry was Betty's "Number 1". Larry also played golf and played in semi-pro tournaments.
Larry was an incredibly generous man, who was described by many close to him as "wonderful, kind and extremely supportive". He worked hard at whatever he did and loved to share the knowledge he had acquired. He cared deeply for the people in his life and would go out of his way to plan adventures for loved ones. His family speaks animatedly of a Segway trip last Thanksgiving around Lake Merrit that Larry planned, of how much fun they had, the stories they told. Larry always planned these excursions and field trips meticulously, ensuring that every possible activity was included and that the weather conditions would be perfect. He enjoyed making others happy and doing things for others wherever he could. He would often insist that people treat themselves on his dime.
Larry is survived by his life partner, Betty , his sister Marie -Therese, his daughters Amber and Sarah, nephews Eric and Marck and his dog Oliver.

Donna J. Parsons
Donna Jean Parsons M.A. '79, June 19, 2013. She died at her home after a long battle with cancer, multiple myeloma. Donna was born in Dunsmuir to Art and Vera Parsons, the middle of 3 children. She attended local schools, graduating from DHS in 1961. Donna was active with cheerleading, Rainbow Girls, and academic clubs, making many life-long friends. Donna was accepted at UC Berkeley, which was as far from her small town experiences as she could get! She was grateful to all of her teachers, including Ramey Drake, Grace Harris, and Reva Coon, as well as her parents, for encouraging her academic achievements and instilling a drive for higher education. After graduating from Cal, Donna worked in the social welfare field in several northcoast and SF Bay Area counties, finishing up that part of her career as an adoptions social worker in Alameda County. By that time she had gotten her Masters at Santa Clara University and went out on her own as a psychotherapist. She loved that work, developing even more her passion and skill for helping children and families with a variety of problems. In 2005 Donna realized a dream of returning to Dunsmuir, when she, husband Jon Jeffers and son Eric Burger, bought and renovated the old Oak Tree Inn (Motel?) into what is now the Dunsmuir Lodge. She was the last of the siblings to return to Dunsmuir and was so happy she could spend her last years here. Sadly, although the number of her last years were defined by the cancer diagnosis in 2007, the quality was not. She bravely fought this disease, although she didn't consider herself brave; she just wanted to live as long and as well as she could. She continued her other passions for the piano and knitting and photography, helped nurture the success of the Lodge, and spent time with her family and friends. She was part of a support group for multiple myeloma patients, who drew comfort from each other. Her continued friendship with classmates of 1961 and adjacent years, helped to make the 50th reunion in 2011 very successful. Donna leaves behind her husband of 33 years, Jon Jeffers her son Eric Burger, siblings Carol (Dick Keiser) and Bill (Hazel) Parsons. She was a loved stepmother, grandmother, and great grandmother to Diana Jeffers Williams, Danielle Finley-Haley and Michael Haley, and an aunt to Sheryl Burger. Carol's stepchildren Lori Keiser Usher and Rick Keiser were very grateful for her love and support during their childhoods, and through the births of their children. Donna will be missed by many but our hope is that her kindness and generosity and humor will live on with all those who knew her. submitted Dec. 3, 2013 12:26P

K-9 team takes first place in national police dog trials
Jamin Leuzzo, a corrections canine officer with the Moose Lake-Willow River prisons, and his partner, Chachi, were part of a team from the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) to take first place at the 2011 U.S. Police Canine Association National Police Dog Trials in Detroit Lakes Sept. 18-23.By: Wendy Johnson, Pine Journal
Jamin Leuzzo, a corrections canine officer with the Moose Lake-Willow River prisons, and his partner, Chachi, were part of a team from the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) to take first place at the 2011 U.S. Police Canine Association National Police Dog Trials in Detroit Lakes Sept. 18-23.
"The DOC team did an incredible job," said K-9 Officer Rick Jennings. "Taking this first place goes a long way toward showing our dogs are totally under control. Having dogs operate at this level helps ensure the safety and security of our staff and facilities."
Other DOC team members besides Leuzzo included officers Jennings and Mike Langerman (Lino Lakes prison) along with John Rathai and Chris Persing (Faribault prison).
"I'm extremely proud of what this DOC team accomplished," said Commissioner Tom Roy. "We take the security of our facilities and the safety of our staff very seriously around here. These guys embody what it takes to get the job done."
Teams competed in six events: obedience, suspect search, article search, agility, criminal apprehension, and criminal apprehension with a gun. The total points earned by each officer determined who won as a team.
"Officers come here to demonstrate they can control their dogs in various aspects of their work," explained Leuzzo.
Each officer/canine team starts on a point system and gets docked for anything the dog fails to do
"This is a very aggressive exercise for the dog," said Leuzzo. "They want to do it and they have fun doing it. It's strictly play for them, but when they're up at this level you have to be able to demonstrate that control."
Teams qualified for nationals through regional competitions last June in Woodbury. At that time, Leuzzo and Chachi scored 649 out of a possible 700 points to qualify as part of the DOC's department team to go on to national competition. Accompanying them to nationals was fellow Moose Lake-Willow River DOC officer Carl Bennett, who served as a "decoy" in the apprehension and search events.
The National Trial draws the top Police K9 teams from across the United States and Canada, with 150-200 K9 teams participating.
"The trophies are great," commented Leuzzo, "but the awards are just the result of hard work. It's not something you aim for coming into it. In reality, we come here for a piece of paper that's our certification saying we can bring our dog into the facility and work him for another year."
Leuzzo and Chachi, a 7-year-old German Shepherd, have been working together since fall 2006, after they completed canine training academy in St. Paul. The two of them basically operate alongside the prison's security squad and respond to all medical or other emergencies to enhance the safety of both staff and inmates.
"Sometimes there are altercations in the midst of potentially volatile situations, such as in the chow hall or the gym," said Leuzzo, "where there might be 100-150 bystanders.
"You'd be amazed at how the dynamics of a situation change when a canine and handler come on the scene, no matter what's going on," Leuzzo added. "We can diffuse a lot of elevated situations."
Chachi is also certified through the United States Canine Association as a narcotics dog, so he participates in drug searches and also tracking.
Every day Leuzzo and Chachi are on the job is a good day.
"He just loves coming to work with me," said Leuzzo.

Solve the energy crisis. Turn water into energy. I'm sure someone here must have seen the Water Car.
People could become independent from the grid with a simple unit the uses water to create hydrogen. It can be used to heat your home and generate electric. I downloaded the plans from the one here in the US that was ready to put the kit on the market that would convert your car from gas to water. Just think no more wars over oil. A big boost to the whole World economy. Magnet motors have been invented along time ago. That's something to look into.
Next I have a patent pending invention. It's a shower faucet that can be taken out of the wall without breaking the wall or the tiles. I have one plumbing distributor interested who has connections in some of the big companies It cost me too much money so far. I had to change lawyers. I have one now that won't kill me.
Next I believe that investment in farm land is very important. There may be food shortages ahead. There's a group that bought farm land in Texas where they live together and farm the land. They make their own tools and furniture. They are independent from the system. So their economy will stay the same.
Next. there may also be water shortages ahead, Investment in equipment that can turn ocean water to drinking water and water for farming.
We could stabilize our existence by employing these methods.
Many People in Africa drink mud water and dried farm land for lack of fresh water.
Next In Bangladesh where there is flooding there could be land elevation. You take 10 square miles of land and use 1 sq mile to dig out 90 feet to raise the other 9 sq miles by 10 feet. And there's a safe haven. It could be done with bulldozers..
Next, Stabilization of depressed areas, as was done here in New York City. The areas were run down and no one would want to invest there. But when you have big money coming into the area that buys and upgrades the properties, you have an immediate increase in values. You can work along with the planning board where you can have a community investment plan to complement your invest there. You could workout deals with mortgage holders and or government who is holding the foreclosures to give wholesale prices. I have a target area that this can be done.
I simply define it as priceless and unconditional love...When you felt nobody loves you just bear it in your mind,that sometimes reminded us the way,love sometimes vanishes from lives.Children rebel,and distance themselves,spouses or loved ones desert,close friends stop calling.But we're so thankful that God's love is steady,it can sustain us when love here on earth drifts away.In fact,it's so reliable that Jesus invites us to abide in HIs love.(John 15;9)He wants us to know it's okay to settle in and get comfortable..Thanks for sharing SMILE<<<<<<<<
