The popular erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" has a stage parody that made waves south of the border and is finally hitting a Canadian stage – "SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody" will be playing at the Panasonic Theatre in Toronto from Wednesday to Sunday of this week, and it's getting a lot of buzz.
Presented by Mills Entertainment and Just For Laughs, the musical sold out their shows in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Las Vegas before heading north of the border, and is destined for a similar fate in TO. "It feels like a rock concert," Jim Millan, the Toronto-based director and co-writer, said of the electrifying vibe from the audience (to The Canadian Press). "Like, the women are screaming… Mostly it's a women's night out and they sort of scream from the time that the lights go down. We anticipated that the love they have for the book would translate into their enthusiasm for a night out but we couldn't imagine it would be like this."
The show will also travel to Chicago later this month. Producers in Australia and the UK have expressed interest in buying rights to the show as well.
Although the show pokes fun at the bestselling novel, producers insist that all of the material is one-of-a-kind. "…We've had very expensive lawyers, old lawyers, poring over books" to make sure there were no legal issues, said Millan. "The reason I say that is it just makes me laugh to think that we paid an old lawyer to read 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' and it just makes me laugh more if I think they're really old and they're poring over the book, slowly turning the pages, not smiling, and then they read the play."
Tickets for the Toronto shows of "SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody" range from $48.75 and $58.75.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Plymouth, MN, United States, 2013/02/21 - Organizational employee skills assessment technology on display at Leading Edge Human Resources Network 2013 Tech Expo and Conference - TheSmartTools.com.
SMART Tools, a cloud-based employee talent assessment system, will participate in the upcoming LEHRN Expo at the Earle Brown Browne Conference Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota on March 7.
SMART Tools is proud to be an active participant in the LEHRN community, noted Mark Fournier, Senior Director of Sales & Marketing. We look forward to joining some 55 other exhibitors at the best HR technology event this side of Human Resource Executives annual HR Tech Conference.
SMART Tools was established after 10 years of software innovation at Benchmark Learning, a leader in business education, specializing in the development of technical, process, business and leadership skills. Its foundation began with the creation of multiple products, including organizational and individual assessment tools, as well as intuitive configuration interfaces. These homegrown technologies were originally built to service Benchmark Learnings students, partners and internal operations, and have completed more than 500,000 assessments with over 1,000 clients.
The technology was recently spun off and housed under the SMART Tools umbrella in order to place a heightened focus on product improvement, cloud delivery, and client support. Scott MacDonald, Chief Operating Officer of SMART Tools, was the primary architect of Benchmark Learnings suite of assessment and profiling tools. He believed the products had untapped potential that could be realized with an isolated focus.
SMART Tools reveals where skill proficiencies and gaps exist in an organization through a combination of subjective skill assessments, objective skill assessments and workforce surveys. Implementation of the technologies is most often driven by talent management, performance management, organizational development and learning departments.
While the market has many options for talent and learning management software, SMART Tools possesses some noticeably different qualities. Its nimble solutions allow for rapid implementation and are exceptionally more affordable than comparable products. Also, unlike competitors, SMART Tools utilizes predefined skill frameworks to prescribe actionable learning recommendations.
We envision engaging client employees more directly in their own career development, in ways that benefit both the individuals and their employers, Fournier said. This commitment to aid an individuals immediate and future professional advancement is why SMART Tools technology perfectly complements existing talent management technology and employee development options.

Kaiserslautern eye play-off comeback
Kaiserslautern hope that their imposing Fritz-Walter-Stadion can help them overturn their two-goal deficit against Hoffenheim in Monday's second leg of their Bundesliga promotion/relegation play-off.
Hoffenheim won Thursday's first leg at their Rhein-Neckar Arena 3-1, but they must contend with Kaiserslautern's 'Betzenberg' crowd as they aim to complete their bid to avoid dropping out of the top flight.
One of Germany's most dreaded grounds for away teams in Germany, the 50,000-capacity stadium has been the home to many incredible comebacks, including answering a 3-1 defeat at the Bernabeu with a 5-0 victory against Real Madrid in 1982 and coming from 4-1 down against Bayern Munich after 58 minutes to win 7-4 in a Bundesliga clash in 1973.
"This stadium is the only one I really fear," Bayern Munich legend Gerd Muller once said, while in April 1999 Pep Guardiola had warned his then Barcelona team-mates that a 4-0 lead after the first leg in their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich may not enough.
"If you humiliate Germans like this, they cannot be stopped – they are capable of running us down. I know that. I have been to Kaiserslautern," Guaridola said later, when he was Barcelona coach.
Kaiserslautern, German champions in 1997-98, have not given up on returning to the Bundesliga only one year after getting relegated into the second tier. They hope 18-goal man Mo Idrissou will add a couple to this season's tally at the most crucial time.
"We want to return to Bundesliga," Idrissou said, who could then look back on winning promotion into Germany's top tier with four different teams, having already gone up with Duisburg, Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt in his career.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, have no plans to give up their lead and hope to stay in Bundesliga for a sixth consecutive year. Hoffenheim had come back from the dead twice during the final three match days of Bundesliga when they turned around their away games against Werder Bremen [a 2-2 draw] and Borussia Dortmund [a 2-1 win].
"We have managed two extreme situations against Bremen and Dortmund, and thus are all set for Kaiserslautern," sporting director Alexander Rosen said.
Spurs goalkeeper Heuerlho Gomes, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Hoffenheim but has been ruled out with a broken hand since April, said: "This clubs deserves to continue to play Bundesliga football."

text: Treatment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on the stage and location of the cancer as well as on your overall health and personal preferences. For most people, the first goal of pancreatic cancer treatment is to eliminate the cancer, when possible. When that isn't an option, the focus may be on improving your quality of life and preventing the cancer from growing or causing more harm. Treatment may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of these. When pancreatic cancer is advanced and these treatments aren't likely to offer a benefit, your doctor will offer symptom relief (palliative care) that makes you as comfortable as possible. Surgery Whipple procedureWhipple procedureThe Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) is an operation to remove the head of the pancreas, the first part of the small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder and the bile duct. The remaining organs are reattached to allow you to digest food normally after surgery. Operations used in people with pancreatic cancer include: Surgery for tumors in the pancreatic head. If your cancer is located in the head of the pancreas, you may consider an operation called a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy). The Whipple procedure is technically difficult operation to remove the head of the pancreas, the first part of the small intestine (duodenum), the gallbladder and part of the bile duct. In some situations, part of the stomach and nearby lymph nodes may be removed as well. Your surgeon reconnects the remaining parts of your pancreas, stomach and intestines to allow you to digest food. Surgery for tumors in the pancreatic body and tail. Surgery to remove the left side (body and tail) of the pancreas is called distal pancreatectomy. Your surgeon may also remove your spleen. Surgery to remove the entire pancreas. In some people, the entire pancreas may need to be removed. This is called total pancreatectomy. You can live relatively normally without a pancreas but do need lifelong insulin and enzyme replacement. Surgery for tumors affecting nearby blood vessels. Many people with advanced pancreatic cancer are not considered eligible for the Whipple procedure or other pancreatic surgeries if their tumors involve nearby blood vessels. At a very few medical centers in the United States, highly specialized and experienced surgeons will safely perform these operations with removal and reconstruction of parts of blood vessels in select patients. Each of these surgeries carries the risk of bleeding and infection. After surgery some people experience nausea and vomiting if the stomach has difficulty emptying (delayed gastric emptying). Expect a long recovery after any of these procedures. You'll spend several days in the hospital and then recover for several weeks at home. Extensive research shows pancreatic cancer surgery tends to cause fewer complications when done by highly experienced surgeons at centers that do many of these operations. Don't hesitate to ask about your surgeon's and hospital's experience with pancreatic cancer surgery. If you have any doubts, get a second opinion. ChemotherapyChemotherapy uses drugs to help kill cancer cells. These drugs can be injected into a vein or taken orally. You may receive one chemotherapy drug or a combination of them. Chemotherapy can also be combined with radiation therapy (chemoradiation). Chemoradiation is typically used to treat cancer that has spread beyond the pancreas, but only to nearby organs and not to distant regions of the body. At specialized medical centers, this combination may be used before surgery to help shrink the tumor. Sometimes it is used after surgery to reduce the risk that pancreatic cancer may recur. In people with advanced pancreatic cancer, chemotherapy is often used to control cancer growth and prolong survival. Radiation therapyRadiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as those made from X-rays and protons, to destroy cancer cells. You may receive radiation treatments before or after cancer surgery, often in combination with chemotherapy. Or your doctor may recommend a combination of radiation and chemotherapy treatments when your cancer can't be treated surgically. Radiation therapy usually comes from a machine that moves around you, directing radiation to specific points on your body (external beam radiation). In specialized medical centers, radiation therapy may be delivered during surgery (intraoperative radiation). Radiation therapy traditionally uses X-rays to treat cancer. Some medical centers offer proton beam radiation therapy, which may be a treatment option for some people with advanced pancreatic cancer. Clinical trialsClinical trials are studies to test new treatments, such as systemic therapy, and new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy. If the treatment being studied proves to be safer and more effective than are current treatments, it can become the new standard of care. Clinical trials for pancreatic cancer might give you a chance to try new targeted therapy, chemotherapy drugs, immunotherapy treatments or vaccines. Clinical trials can't guarantee a cure, and they might have serious or unexpected side effects. On the other hand, cancer clinical trials are closely monitored to ensure they're conducted as safely as possible. And they offer access to treatments that wouldn't otherwise be available to you. Talk to your doctor about what clinical trials might be appropriate for you. Supportive (palliative) carePalliative care is specialized medical care that focuses on providing relief from pain and other symptoms of a serious illness. Palliative care specialists work with you, your family and your other doctors to provide an extra layer of support that complements your ongoing care. Palliative care can be used while undergoing aggressive treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. When palliative care is used along with other appropriate treatments — even soon after the diagnosis — people with cancer may feel better and live longer. Palliative care is provided by teams of doctors, nurses and other specially trained professionals. These teams aim to improve the quality of life for people with cancer and their families. Palliative care is not the same as hospice care or end-of-life care. Alternative medicineSome integrative and alternative medicine approaches may help with signs and symptoms you experience due to your cancer or cancer treatments. Treatments to help you cope with distress People with cancer frequently experience distress. Some research suggests distress is more common in people with pancreatic cancer than it is in people with other types of cancer. If you're distressed, you may have difficulty sleeping and find yourself constantly thinking about your cancer. You may feel angry or sad. Discuss your feelings with your doctor. Specialists can help you sort through your feelings and help you devise strategies for coping. In some cases, medications may help. Integrative medicine and alternative therapies may also help you cope with distress. Examples include: Art therapy Exercise Meditation Music therapy Relaxation exercises Spirituality Talk with your doctor if you're interested in these treatment options.

Wednesday was the deadline to act on bills approved during the 30-day legislative session that ended Feb. 20.
Of the 91 bills approved by the Legislature, Martinez signed 81 measures and vetoed eight. She also pocket-vetoed two bills by not acting on them.
The scholarship bill, which lawmakers approved in the session's final hours, calls for stricter eligibility guidelines – most students at four-year universities will have to take at least 15 credits per semester – and a three-year infusion of state tax dollars.
With an additional $11 million in immediate funding, it also means roughly 18,500 students won't face cuts this semester.
"I'm pleased that a bipartisan solution was reached to protect the lottery scholarship for students currently in their spring semesters, and I believe we've begun the process of instituting reforms to the scholarship to ensure that students will be able to receive significant tuition assistance for years to come," Martinez said in a statement.
The governor used her line-item veto power to delete a technical glitch in the lottery scholarship bill that could have led to an unintended tuition gap for students.
Other bills signed Wednesday by Martinez included a measure to create five new judgeships around the state – including one in each in Albuquerque and Santa Fe – and one that will allow commercial driver's license applicants to take the written test an unlimited number of times. They have been limited to no more than three times per year.
"The current law is preventing good, skilled drivers from getting jobs if they are poor test-takers, but good drivers," said sponsor Sen. Steven Neville, R-Aztec.
The vetoed horse racing bill would have required the State Racing Commission to hire attorneys as hearing officers to make decisions on license suspensions or revocations in drug cases, and authorized appeals from those decisions to state District Courts. Martinez objected that the bill took too much power away from the commission and vested too much authority in the hearing officer.
This year's veto rate – 10 vetoes of the 91 bills sent to the governor's desk – was lower than that of the previous 30-day session, in 2012, when 13 of 77 approved bills were vetoed.
Among this year's vetoed bills were measures:
- Reorganizing the state's Water Trust Board – increasing the Legislature's power to appoint members – and authorizing spending on more than 60 water projects around the state. Martinez said the bill undermined current efforts of the board.
- Creating a three-year project to provide behavioral health services to jail inmates in Luna, Grant and Hidalgo counties. Martinez said it duplicated existing services.
- Requiring school districts where more than 75 percent of students are Native American – Dulce, Gallup-McKinley County, Central Consolidated and Zuni – to consult with tribal leaders on transportation boundary disputes. Martinez cited possible constitutional violations as well as technical problems.
- Diverting half the extra money in the Metropolitan Court Bond Guarantee Fund to the Administrative Office of the Courts for magistrate court leases, instead of having it all go to the Traffic Safety Bureau for DWI programs. Martinez objected to the diversion.
- Extending until 2019 the $4 magistrate court operations fee that ends this year. Martinez said now that the state is financially healthy, the operations can be financed from general funds.
- Exempting certain Native American Medicaid recipients from mandatory enrollment in Medicaid managed care.
- Allowing school districts and charter schools to offer summer civics courses and programs that would count toward graduation credits.

Comments about MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter Effects Pedal:
This is a good pedal to have in your arsenal, probably not a good first. I love the sound of this coupled with either a fuzz, bass octave (M288), ring mod, LPF, etc. The separate fx and dry blend knobs are key, especially if you want that filter wide open, just accentuating the upper frequency response with the Q down. This stomp box can be labled as a "one trick pony" because an envelope filter is a very distict sound. However I rarely turn the Q up past 25% and use it more as a treble booster that sounds "wet." For a live drum and bass act, making subltle changes to the sound of the bass is what its all about, at least for me. By itself I think it sounds like a great envelope, I just wish it had a sweep up/down select. There is an accurate video review on the M82 on Youtube by Uriah Duffy.
Comments about MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter Effects Pedal:
This is one awesome effect pedal. My favorite aspect is its total versatility. I can use just a little wah in most band settings, or crank it up for some spacey funk. This thing really responds well to your own playing dynamics, with the sensitivity knob. And of course (most importantly), it retains the low end very well; you can still get booming lows and still have the wah effect layered on top.
Comments about MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter Effects Pedal:
This pedal works really well, mainly because of the amount of versatility it gives you. Having blend knobs for the wet and dry signals really helps for a bass player as one of our complaints was that it took away too much bottom. Much like the Q-tron and others, the pedal is very touch sensitive, so it has to be adjusted before each gig as it depends a lot on how you have your amp EQ set. All of the new pedals, including this one have quite a strong spike on the front edge... unlike the Boss T-wah, which didn't have that. The newer components don't sound the same, but, then, the T-Wah doesn't do nearly as much as this pedal. I'd say this one is the most versatile envelope filter I've tried. I'd recommend it as long as you don't mind adjusting it each time you play.
Comments about MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter Effects Pedal:
I bought this today for $150, and it was worth every penny. I am not a pedal user at all, but this one is a HUGE exception. It gives you every possible funk tone all the way to techno tones and has an amazing bypass. There is nothing amazing that this pedal can't do. It looks cheaply made, but I bet if I chucked it against a wall, it wouldn't break at all! It was very well made, all the screws are tight, amazingly packaged. There is absolutely nothing bad about this pedal. I almost slept on it am almost didn't buy it, but I got the money and said screw it, and I would never go back. This pedal going through my Line 6 Lowdown 15 with a Squire P-Bass is like the sound of an angle. Buy Buy Buy!

Googling Cricket Fans Choose Sachin, Chargers
Sachin Tendulkar, and, somehow, the Deccan Chargers, have won. Not at the IPL, but on Google.
The search giant on Thursday released its "IPL Zeitgeist," a breakdown of the most-searched cricket terms this year on Google and YouTube. It looked at IPL-related keywords and filtered out spam and repeat searches to arrive at top 10 lists for players, teams and video queries.
The Chargers, which lost their semifinal match against the Chennai Super Kings last night, nevertheless topped Google's list of most-searched-for teams, ahead of the Mumbai Indians, Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. Those five comprised last year's top five, though the Indians were No. 1, followed the Knight Riders.
Mr. Tendulkar, a superstar in cricket-obsessed India, was the most-Googled individual player, ahead of other well-known cricketers such as Sourav Gunguly, Shane Warne (the most-Googled non-Indian player), Yuvraj Singh and Rahul Dravid. He displaced last year's top player search, "Fake IPL Player," a nod to the anonymous blog that gained a cult following during last year's matches.
In addition to Fake IPL Player, M.S. Dhoni, Virender Sehwag and V.V.S. Laxman fell off this year's Top 10, replaced by Brett Lee, Adam Gilchrist, Ryan Harris and Praveen Kumar.
On Google's video-sharing site YouTube, the most popular search was "Super Over," a final phase of the game used to break ties. Two of the most-watched are a New Zealand-Australia match and a Royals-Knight Riders super over from 2009 with more than 20,000 views.
Sunday's finals could set the stage for which names wear out the keyboards next year: The Indians, which Mr. Tendulkar bats for, play the Super Kings.

The following short video demonstratesthe creation of a simple monoprint. To learn more about the process illustrated in the video, please review the step-by-step description in the following link:
Check my Step-by-Step Tutorial
Monoprint is a process in which one can use a combination of painting and printmaking techniques. It results in a unique image and some effects that cannot be achieved in any other form of art. Monoprint is a spontaneous technique that gives the artist freedom to work with a wide selection of materials such as inks, pencils, crayons, and pastels, and to choose from a variety of methods to transfer images.
The process produces a single print by using pressure to transfer an image drawn or painted on a plexiglass. The image is created on the plexiglass by inking the plate with a brayer [roller] and then manipulating the ink with various methods. A sheet of paper, often dampened, is placed over the completed image and run through the press by mechanically moving it under rollers. The image then gets transferred onto the paper. Oftentimes, the plate is cleaned, and a second color or image is applied over the first image.
Registration of the paper to the plate is critical in order to line up all the layers. On a newsprint, mark the size of the paper that the artwork will be printed on. Inside these lines, mark the size of the plate in the desired location as it should appear on the paper.
There are two basic methods of working on the plate, the additive and the subtractive. In the additive approach, the image is painted directly on the plate. This is known as working into light field. In a subtractive approach, the ink is applied all over the plate, and then the image is removed with various tools. This method is also known as working from a dark field.
Chine-collé is another technique where another paper is collaged onto the print. The inked plate is placed on the press bed and the collaged paper is placed on the ink. The collaged paper with glue facing up is placed on the plate and the paper is then placed over it and run through the press. This way collaged paper and the ink are applied in one run through the press to achieve different textures.
Frottage is a hand transfer technique in which unique images are created by placing paper over a textured surface and rubbing the paper with a crayon or pencil.
Suminagashi is a Japanese technique of printing over water. The design is created by placing drawing ink over a tray with water. A paper is then put over the water and the design is transferred on to it.
Each monoprint is different and unique and the artist may use one or more techniques to achieve the image that he or she want to create.

ZeoDefender posted...Is it annoying how so many gamers completely dismiss the Wii U. I understand if it's not your thing, but there's three main consoles this race. Stating otherwise just makes you look ignorant.
The hardware has nothing to do with it. The Wii U is an 8th generation console same as the XB1 and PS4. It's competing with the XB1 and PS4 in sales because they're on the market at the same time.

It's really a semantics argument. It depends on a persons definition of next gen. Personally I do see the WiiU competing against the PS3/360, and that's why it's been struggling. If it were really competing against the PS4/X1 it would have sold like crazy, because it would have had a year on the market all by itself. The only third party games it's going to get are the ports of PS3/360 games and that's really all the proof you need right there. Citing gen as a mere definition of time it's released doesn't tell the whole story.

Well, that's the case with any early next-gen system. The TG-16 and the Genesis were designed to compete with the NES and it took several years for the SNES to come out. However, no one considers those two consoles to be 3rd generation systems. Yes, the Wii U is competing with the PS3/360 right now, but when those systems are replaced it'll be Wii U/PS4/X1. We're just in a small overlap period that'll be forgotten within 12 months.

Yeah, but your argument is flawed because those systems were more powerful than the current systems on the market, easily signifying them as next gen. If SEGA released a console with equal to or slightly more power than a NES at the same time they released the Genesis would it still have been considered next gen? Nope, and it would have failed miserably.

The internet takes it's own hype as hype for the masses and in every other case this has proven false. PSP didn't live up to what the media was hyping it up to be. We all know how PS3 turned out. Wii was proclaimed to kill Nintendo. DS was going to fail. 360 was set to become an irrelevance once PS3 came out. Kinect was going to fail because of fanbase alienation and the price being too high for that audience. 3DS was going to be killed by smart phones and Vita was going to be everything the PSP promised to be.
Agree with this.

Sony fans are insecure about the lack of compelling features in the PS4, and have to resort to the old standby "at least it's not THOSE systems" in order to validate their purchasing decision.
Every person that buys a Wii U undermines a Sony fan's ego.

Yeah, that's true. The Wii U is something of an anomaly. I suppose it's hard to judge the Wii U's place in gaming history when we're right in the middle of it. Will it be discontinued early or will it revive itself like the 3DS and go on to be a gaming powerhouse? Or anything in between those two extremes? I think the answer to that will determine whether it's a 7th or 8th generation console.

I agree with that, history will put this all in perspective. I don't think there's really any chance of them dropping the WiiU early though, even if it ends up being mostly Nintendo first party games that carry it to the finish line.

It's an 8th gen system. There's no disputing that regardless of the idiots. It's the 8th generation Nintendo system. The Wii U won't be discontinued. Worst case scenario it will be like the Gamecube where its first party keep it going. Best case scenario it rises from the ashes like the 3DS and dominates everything.

AZ-002 (Staccato alprazolam) for Acute Repetitive Seizures
Epilepsy, a disorder of recurrent seizures, affects approximately 2.5 million Americans, making it the third most common neurological disorder in the United States. Acute repetitive seizures (ARS) refers to seizures that are serial, clustered, or crescendo, and ones that are distinct from the patient's usual seizure pattern. ARS occurs in a subset of patients with epilepsy who regularly experience breakthrough seizures, despite treatment with a regular regimen of anti-epileptic drugs.
Among the implications of ARS are concerns for patient safety. Prolonged or recurrent seizure activity persisting for 30 minutes or more may result in serious injury, health impacts or death, that correlate directly with seizure duration. ARS, if left untreated, has been reported to evolve into a state of persistent seizure, or status epilepticus, which has a 3% mortality rate in children and 26% in adults.
Benzodiazepines are considered to be medications of first choice for the treatment of acute seizures. Clinical advantages of benzodiazepines include relatively rapid onset of action, high efficacy and minimal toxicity. The rapidity by which a medication can be delivered to the systemic circulation and then to the brain plays a significant role in reducing the time needed to treat seizures and reducing the likelihood of damage to the central nervous system. Current standard of care for ARS is the rectal gel formulation of diazepam, which must be administered by a caregiver or healthcare professional. In Alexza's market research, patients surveyed have commented that they find that the rectal gel takes longer to work than they would like and that the route of administration is sub-optimal and cannot be used in public. Intravenous benzodiazepines are rapid acting, but must be administered by a healthcare professional in a medical facility. The ability to treat quickly is clinically imperative to prevent an epileptic event from evolving into status epilepticus or causing other serious complications. Alexza believes a product that can be administered easily in the home setting to effectively treat ARS may result in avoiding a trip to the hospital for treatment or diminishing the need to use the rectal formulation of diazepam. If approved, AZ-002 could reduce the use of IV or rectal benzodiazepines in treating patients who experience ARS.
The potential benefits of AZ-002 may include a faster delivery to the blood stream, when compared to rectal delivery, and greater ease of use. AZ-002 could be administered after a first seizure in a cluster with the aim of preventing further seizures. The caregiver could provide dosing assistance between cluster seizures. Alexza believes that alprazolam's ability to inhibit anxiety, or anxiolytic action, may provide additional therapeutic benefits to ARS patients.
The ongoing Phase 2a clinical trial is designed as an in-clinic, randomized, double-blind, evaluation of patients with epilepsy. The primary aim of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacodynamic electroencephalographic effects of a single dose of AZ-002 at different dose strengths, compared to placebo. An interim analysis from this study showed that AZ-002 had dose-related effects on mean Standardized Photosensitivity Range (the primary endpoint of the study), no serious adverse effects and was well tolerated in the patients studied. There were also dose-related changes in two visual-analogue scales for sedation and for alertness, which are established pharmacodynamic markers of benzodiazepine drug activity. Importantly, in both measures the pharmacodynamic effect was demonstrated at the two-minute time point, which was the first assessment in the study, demonstrating the rapid onset of effect of alprazolam as delivered by the Staccato technology.
Alexza owns full development and commercial rights to AZ-002.

Favorite QuoteWhat is your favorite quote and why?
At one point Reverend Hale has come to the Proctor's home and is interviewing them to determine their Christian character, and Proctor cannot recite all ten commandments. He says to Hale that they can remember the commandments between them, so it should be considered a small fault. Hale responds:
Theology, sir, is a fortress; no crack in a fortress may be accounted small.
Besides just being a great line, I think it is a window into the soul of Reverend Hale and how he thinks.
My favorite quote is one that the audience hears indirectly from Elizabeth. It is Giles Corey saying, "More weight". It signifies a character who in the face of all the hysteria stands firm and strong and refuses to flinch or waver. It reminds me of William Wallace in Braveheart who chooses to scream "Freedom!" during excruciating pain even when he is offered a quick and 'merciful' way out of the pain.
My favorite quote is from act II when Proctor says "It is winter in here yet". It is so simplistic a statement, yet truly indicative of the state of that marriage. John is walking on eggshells to try to please Elizabeth, but she cannot let either of them move past his dalliance with Abigail.
"We burn a hot fire here, it melts down all concealment." Danforth
Great line, extreme relevance to the play. It's true, at the end of the play Procter's concealment is melted; his affair is no longer a secret. Abigail is shown to be the fraud she truly is when she runs away with Parris' money. Elizabeth's internal warmth is shown towards the end of Act 4.
The entire hysteria was truly a crucible; the true elements of each person where brought to light.

Ok, I'm just not even sure if this is in the realm of normal. SD is 7 1/2. Still has the occasional pee accident at night/early morning. And we've had to get on her ass recently for hiding it from us. So tonight we're putting her to bed, and SO finds what appears to be smears of poop or chocolate on the pad she sleeps on (we have several of those nice cloth hospital bed pads for the times she has pee accidents). Give it the sniff test - probably poop. So we start asking SD about it. Of course we get the sheepish looks, the shrugs, the "I don't know" 's...and we both start to get angry. So finally we know it's poop, but she is still "I don't know" -ing and we can't even find out when it happened. Her undies from the night before (she had a shower last night, put on fresh undies and would have either changed her undies tonight or in the morning before school) had poop on them....SO gets really angry and has to leave. I stayed because I wanted answers. I stopped yelling and sat on her bed and asked her more questions. She asked if I was going to yell more. I said no. She asked if I wanted the truth - um, hello?! YES, I said we always want the truth from her. So I finally get it out of her that sometime last night she had an accident with poop. She put her undies in the laundry hamper, wiped her bum with toilet paper she had in her bed for her stuffy/runny nose last week, folded over the poopy part of her pad, and went back to sleep. She did not go into the bathroom and use the wipes we have in there to make sure she was clean, she did not even wash her hands. She did not get either of us up to help. She didn't say a word, and wouldn't have unless we found the evidence. I tried my best to have a conversation with her about the health risks associated with what she did, to her, to us, to her classmates since she didn't wash hands before school (and the poop smears on her pad looked like she wiped her fingers on the pad)...I am beside myself about the dangers of the lack of clean-up after what happened. I tried to explain all of these things, telling her how she should have cleaned up after herself, or that she should have got one of us up to help. I told her to look at me while I talked to her, otherwise I'm going to think she isn't really listening to me. I tried to do all this calmly. I think I did a good job. But she was so quick to turn her attention elsewhere and change the subject once I was done...I just don't know if she got ANY of it! And honestly, I think 7 1/2 years is old enough to know better than to do what she did. I don't know why she had the accident either. It wasn't a lot of poo. Maybe she farted and it wasn't just a fart? I don't know.
I don't have an answer about the poop, but both my kids (nearly 7 and 9 years old still have occasional pee accidents. Generally, it means they're having a growth spurt or they're coming down with an illness. Sometimes their bodies just need sleep so badly they can't wake themselves up. I say that to them whenever there's an accident and neither of them seems embarrassed when it happens... they just matter of factly let me know. Maybe introducing the idea of accidents being a side effect of when she's growing will make it easier for her to speak up when it happens? If she's concerned about pees, I can understand how she'd think it'd mean BIG TROUBLE to have a poop accident. What was the day before it happened like? If there was a lot of really exciting things going on, maybe she held it so she wouldn't miss out on something good?
As to whether or not it is normal, I think that's a question for the pediatrician.
Look at it from her perspective: if she TELLS you about the accident, there is a pretty good chance (in her eyes) that she will get yelled at. If she HIDES it, there is a chance you will find out and get mad, but there is a chance you will NOT find out and, therefore, you will not get mad at her. If you are faced with a choice of tell and definitely get in trouble or don't tell and possibly not get in trouble, it's not really a tough choice... why would you invite a negative reaction by telling?
I don't know what might be going on, but I do know that whatever it is will not be helped by getting upset about it. It is either physically or psychologically outside her control. She needs compassion and someone to be on her side helping her figure out how to stay clean and dry at night. You need information and cooperation from your step daughter to solve this one, neither one of which you will get unless she feels safe opening up about whatever is going on. Personally I would talk to the pediatrician.
Well, we have tried to tell her that if she honestly has an accident, we aren't going to be mad, but we are going to get upset if she hides it from us. I mean, this isn't just pee this time, it's fecal matter, and I'm sorry, but I can't help but be upset that she possibly got it on her hands and didn't even wash them. I am on her side and I am really trying to show compassion about stuff like this. Someone mentioned maybe she held it in - she actually has some issues with going poo and it being hard and hurting, so it's possible. She also had ice cream for desert, so maybe she had a bit of loose poop and like I said, trusted a fart that wasn't just a fart. We don't even know what time of night it happened, and neither does she. I guess we just have to hope it never happens again. I'm not sure it's anything to call the Dr. about unless it does.
Since you're having trouble getting her to tell the truth, I would make sure you aren't asking questions in a way that encourages her to lie. You said you knew it was poop, so asking her what it was or how it got there is silly. You know the answer. And really, if you pooped your pants would you want to talk about it?? She didn't need to confess, you could have ended it by saying "Poop happens :) Next time please make sure you A) wash your hands, B) get someone to help you clean it up because poop is dirty and carries germs."
When ds went through a lying phase we started making sure questions were asked in a way that he couldn't lie. "Did you take out the trash?" (When we knew he hadn't.) Changed to "I think you forgot to take out the trash." So much easier.
My daughter is 3.5 years old and amazingly has not peed her bed in a longgg time, but sometimes when she's having a lot of fun during the day she'll forget to go potty and just pee in her pants. When that happens, I remind her that when people forget to use the potty, they have to use diapers and that embarrasses her so she makes sure that she is using the restroom (until she forgets again). I'm just thinking here, that if using a diaper is embarrassing for a 3 year old, I'm guessing it would be embarrassing to a 7 year old and maybe you could suggest to her wearing a diaper at night until she gets the accidents under control. Then, I think it's sort of her decision and maybe she'll try harder not to pee (or poop) the bed because she won't want people to think of her as "a baby". And I think my twin sister even had accidents around 7 too and I'm pretty sure my mom had her wear a diaper whenever that happened. But then if she pees the diapers make sure she's not hiding those from you cause I think my sister did that and it drove my mom NUTS when she found an old wet diaper stuffed in some corner or something LOL!!! that was always funny to me ;) not so much now that I'm a mom of course!

In all honesty - I think that you and Dad are causing much of the problem. First, the both of you yell at her, then Dad storms off. Then you kind of freak out on her for not doing this, that or the other. And THEN hit her with a lecture about hygiene. That's all rather intense for a 7yo, ya know?
Are there extra pads handy in her room? How far away is the bathroom? Is there a nightlight, or does she have to get there in the dark? Where are the wipes?
I would leave extra pads in her bedroom, as well as a box of wipes. Also, a laundry bin/basket and a lined trashcan. And hand sanitizer. Tell her that, if she has an accident (of either variety) at night, she can put her laundry into the bin, and use the wipes to clean herself, the hand sanitizer for her hands. In the morning, she can throw the (tied) trash bag in the household trash, and her laundry in the washer. And let her know that, if she'd like (and doesn't already know), you'll teach her how to run the wash so that she can take care of her bedding/underwear herself.
When things have calmed down, I'd reinforce with her why it's important to wash hands, etc. after bathroom issues, no matter where they occur. And stress that these things can happen to all of us, for any number of reasons.
If it continues, Mom & Dad may want to consider that there is an medical (physical or emotional) issue going on that needs to be addressed. But I'd start with ramping down the angst and drama associated with her accidents.

I'm sorry, but that seems like a terribly demeaning way to handle it. What if this is a physical or emotional problem that she CAN'T control? All this solution does is shame her further than she apparently already has been.
Well I agree with you if it's something she CANT control... but again,I don't remember how old my twin was when she was peeing the bed but I know that I wasn't doing it so it was old enough that she shouldn't have been peeing the bed, and I remember her wearing diapers some nights. I don't think it bothered her like that, she felt like she couldn't hold it either so I think she appreciated the extra protection. I think she would use diapers occasionally until I think I made fun of her about it in front of another kid. Obviously, that was wrong of me, but we were young and that's when she decided to stop peeing the bed I'm pretty sure. I don't recall it all perfectly so I'll probably ask her when and why she decided to stop peeing the bed. I'm fairly certain it was after I teased her about it though... so just from that experience I think it was kind of in her mind that she "couldn't" control it. OR, more likely, that was her excuse to be lazy and she chose to give that up after she felt embarrassed about it.
So first of all though I don't want to assume that all kids are the same, but in the situation with MY TWIN SISTER, who I know better than anybody, she's got a bit of a lazy personality and I bet she'd even admit to it now that the reason she peed in her bed was because she didnt want to walk all the way to the bathroom. My mom got her diapers and my sister didn't mind them UNTIL I humiliated her... but I'm not sure that's exactly how it happened so I'll double check but that scenario seems familiar to me. Anyways, it's never a good idea when parents embarrass their kids, but siblings will do that so even if she REALLY couldn't control it, she somehow overcame it when she got embarrassed. I think sometimes that works... I dunno, just my experience... but the kid from the post could be different, so who knows... all I can pull from is my sister and my daughter so sorry if I'm demeaning but in the situations I've known it didn't seem so bad?

Personally, I think it would behoove Dad to discuss this issue with his daughter's physician. Instead of ASSUMING that she's lazy.
I agree.
This is gross, sure, but 7-year-olds are gross little creatures sometimes. The typical before-school routine for a child this age includes going potty, brushing teeth, and washing hands, with a degree of adult supervision appropriate to the particular child. If that's not what you are currently doing, then start doing that, check her bed daily to see if she needs her sheets changed, and calm the heck down.
What Smithie said.
Not to be the bad one here, and I'm totally not trying to be (just being honest).....your DD likely hid the poop incident from you because you get on her so badly about the pee incidents. :-( It can already be HIGHLY embarrassing for a child around that age to wet the bed, add on their parent, the one they can go to for anything and everything, getting ON to them for it in a harsh manner and that can really break them down. I wouldn't be so hard on her if at all possible. I agree with someone else up above, 7 year olds or kids in general, are GROSS sometimes! It's just a fact of life. Parenting can be tough, the things we have to deal with, especially things of this nature. I deal with occasional bed wetting "still" with my 9 yr old. It is what it is. She is my child though and we talk through it and I remind her no water so close to bed time and to potty each evening, my job as her mother, and if she still has an accident then I don't make her feel bad about it or threaten to hurt her for it. :-( Her body just can't help it, she can't wake up at the time. She is a deep sleeper. Give the kid a break maybe?

My dd is just turning 13 and has only been consistently dry at night for the last year or so. She has also had a physical problem (I don't remember the name) where poop comes out into her underwear. It may have been associated with holding it- she's one of those kids who *really* gets into what she's doing. I have gone through so much inner anguish over this, because she used to go around with poop in her underwear all day. Literally all day. She would go pee, know perfectly well the poop was there, and do nothing. I would have to discreetly ask her if she needed to clean her butt, and she would sigh and roll her eyes before stomping into the bathroom! I'm not a terribly squeamish person, and I will drink out of the milk carton or eat something I dropped on the floor. But walking around all afternoon with poop in your underwear is going way too far! So I know how you feel. It seems like the act of a crazy person to not rush in and wash away every trace when you have poop on any part of your body! I have really wondered if my dd has mental health issues, self loathing, depression, or unresolved rage. I guess this attitude is from somewhere in my own potty training process. My dd is not mentally ill, and the times I have yelled at her about it, or tried to express that her behavior scares me, didn't help at all. Xh has yelled at her and shamed her a lot over this, and if anything I think it made it worse. In the end I just kept checking her and telling her matter of factly to go clean her butt. The poop in the underwear thing has gradually gone away with the bedwetting. Now she has her period, and has no issues with changing her pad, though I have to make her shower! Hopefully she will manage that one on her own by the time she goes to college!

DSS (now 10) had some major bathroom issues. Without going too much into the history of it all (very long story) during his potty-training times there was a lot of upheaval. DF's ex wife took off for 3 months, popping in now & then when he was 4 or so. DF was pretty much solely responsible for potty training the kiddo, as his ex felt that it "wasn't her job" since kiddo is a boy. They lived with his ex in-laws, attitude in general was that it was too much work to enforce pottying if the kid doesn't want to. Then she kicked him out a year later, so DSS was 5. Fast forward 3 years... he is not just having the occasional accident by this point, it is a CONSCIOUS choice on his part. He would hold it all day at school, get off the bus, and poop the minute his feet his his grandparents' driveway. We thought maybe it was a medical condition - right up until we found out some more information. Technically, he did by that point have a condition called encopresis (I think), but after talking to a pediatrician they said that in his case it was due to a behavioral issue - intentionally holding for so long that he became desensitized to it. This child was apparently choosing to hold it all day, either because his mom made him feel like it was too gross or because he was ticked off or because he didn't want to stop playing video games or watching TV (he is a serious couch potato, he doesn't even want to get out of his pj's all day - as in he whines whenever we even mention jeans or a shirt). Pretty sure it was occasionally all of the above. Anyway, this boy would brag about it - I'd walk in the room, smell something & ask DF if he farted... he'd say yup, then kiddo would pipe up (all proud of himself & smug-sounding) "And I pooped - but nope I don't want to change my underwear". He would go all day with poopy underwear & actually get mad at DF if he tried to clean him up. Tried pull-ups, made it worse - he figured there was no reason to use the toilet & told us so. We started using a star chart, that seemed to help - he wanted the points towards legos. Now he's 10 & it's pretty much resolved - but he will still hold it sometimes for a few days at a time, so that he pretty consistently clogs the toilet - but not sure if that is from holding it so long or from the 1/2 roll of tp he likes to use...
Anyway, guess I still made this pretty long - sorry about that! In case you skimmed (I probably would have), it could be behavioral, emotional, or even just plain laziness - I only know our situation with DSS. But like I mentioned at the end, having consistent goals to meet & a reward system worked well for us.

maybe it happened in the middle of the night and she didn't want to disturb you guys for some reason. no doubt she was embarrassed.
what's most important?
* why the accident happened in the first place.
* the hygiene aspect of washing hands thoroughly whenever they touch poop.
* telling you that it happened.
if it were me, i would focus on what's MOST important. does she have the condition where a child has chronic constipation and the bowels become stretched out so much that liquid poop slips out around large hard stools? this is a medical condition that needs treatment.
you can communicate and reinforce the handwashing requirements. you can remind her over and over. but do it matter-of-factly. she is NOT the first child to fail to wash her hands after wiping, i guarantee you.
re: telling you what happened, i guarantee you that she has shame. you guys have shamed her by yelling and storming out about it, and even by the lectures. she's 7, so she already knows it's wrong to poop in her bed. your laying it on hard with the guilt is making it more likely that she will continue to hide it from you. if you had an accident in the middle of the night, would you want to wake up parents who would then get upset and want to know why this happened? (the kid doesn't know why... she has no answer.)
i like the idea upthread about setting it up for her to take care of her own cleanups overnight. since she obviously doesn't want to bother you guys. tell her exactly how to do the cleanups, maybe even write it down for her step by step, including of course washing her hands. i would think this would be a win-win for everyone -- she gets to feel grown up and responsible for doing things right, and you get things done your way without having to get upset. as a bonus you don't lose sleep either.
it's really important that she does tell you if this continues to happen, as it would be part of a larger problem that does need medical attention.
as a by-the-way, i recall last fall when my daughter, who was 4, came down with the Norovirus suddenly one night, she puked all over her bed, her pillow pet, everything. she came to me covered in vomit, and i had the disgusting task of cleaning up this tremendous mess starting with stripping off her PJs and putting her straight in the shower to wash the puke off her body, then taking layer after layer of bedding downstairs to the washing machine, and making up the new bed for her. exhausting. SHE, TOO, WAS ASHAMED. with no need to be. heck, anyone can get sick like that. (and in fact i did, about 3 hours later. personally i think the Norovirus jumped into me from dealing with the vomit clothes and sheets).
so, to summarize, i'd say: get to the bottom of why this is happening, but go easy on the kid. she's already ashamed (obviously). let her know that she need not be ashamed, and give her the tools to handle the situation better next time.

A single-family, two-story home in Menlo Park was completely destroyed by a three-alarm fire this evening but not before firefighters were able to rescue the owners' pet dog, according to a Menlo Park Fire Protection District spokesman.
Fire Chief Harold Schapelhouman said they were first notified of the fire at 1 Chateau Drive by someone who came and knocked on the fire district door, advising firefighters of smoke at the residence near Valparaiso Avenue around 6:30 p.m.
Minutes later, firefighters arrived to the home to find it already about 40 percent consumed by flames and a second alarm was quickly called, Schapelhouman said.
The fire chief said there was some indication that the owners may have been home, leading nine firefighters to kick the door in and head up to the second floor.
The family's 2-year-old Labrador retriever was discovered there and rescued, said Schapelhouman, who added that the canine was given water and oxygen at the scene before being transported to a local veterinarian.
According to Schapelhouman, a third alarm was called around 6:45 p.m. and crews working to control the blaze from the roof were pulled off because of the instability caused by the fire.
A total of 12 engine companies, three ladder trucks, a breathing support unit and a number of battalion chiefs were all on the scene. The fire was controlled around 7:40 p.m., Schapelhouman said.
Investigators determined that the couple who lived in the home had left to go out for dinner after the husband had been working on building an entertainment center in the garage.
According to Schapelhouman, materials used to finish the entertainment center were most likely the cause of the fire that he called a "total loss."
Two homes on either side of the residence and one behind it received minor damage and no firefighters were injured during the incident.
The residents arrived to their home to find it destroyed and were "shocked and surprised," said Schapelhouman. While firefighters attempted to retrieve some of the couple's belongings from the wreckage, the wife said the one thing she wanted most was her wedding photos.
Schapelhouman said that Menlo Park is the only city in the fire district that does not have a sprinkler system requirement for homes. He said it's a shame that when the home is rebuilt, it still might not have a sprinkler system.

1892 re-bored for .38spec
I have a 1892 oct barrel Winchester, prod date 1895. Unfortunately it was re-bored in the 50's for .38 spec from 25-20WCF. I know, I know, it was raped.
However, I got it from the dear friend who had it done, as he is up in years now.
I love shooting it, but something strange happens.
WIth my standard plinking load of 3.1gns Red Dot and a 158gn Copper clad head, the head does NOT make it out of the barrel!!!!!
Factory Ammo works Ok, but I wonder if the longer barrel DOES require a +P load for accuracy. Certainly the chamber can handle it, it is enormously thick.
With converted Cowboy guns, in pistol calibers, are there rifle-pistol loads to compensate.?

it sounds nuts but i owned a 6inch smith model 15 that copper jacketed bullets would stick in the bore with anything but max loads. i suspect as your friend is older he intended was too shoot readily available ammo at the time of the conversion. more than likely that would be 158 grain round nose lead. it wasnt that long ago that 218, 25 20, 32 20, 38 40, 44 40 brass was simply not around. cowboy action shooting and smaller companies reintroducing brass cases changed all that.
....anyway try lead bullet loads. jmho, bobn.

I thought about using leadies.....But man, that is a LOOOOONG barrel to clean up the fouling. I know I could minimize it with the right load....but getting there is a pain.
It just blows my mind..
The 158 JRN (Copper Clad Berry Bullet) was stuck right about a 1/2 inch from the barrel end. It did NOT sound like a squib. I pulled 200 rounds just to check them out...all had 3.1 gn of Red Dot.
LAZER CUT makes some hard leadiies...or maybe use gas checkies....
I sure wish I could find an Original 25-20 barrel for her. The gun was also re-blued and (gulp) polished up, and the rear stock replaced with a new 50's era made stock. The serial numbers were polished way down, and (gulp) the 25-20WCF stamp was hammered over with .38 Special.
I know it was the "thing" to do back in '52 because of the "Rifleman" show. But you would think the smith would have seen the low serial number and declined to do it.
It's still a 114 years old....but it sure don't look lke it.

Try slugging your bore. I'm betting you're closer to 25 cal than 357.

The thought crossed my mind when I got the rifle.
Absolutely necessary now.
I bet it is going to be a shocker. Supposedly this was done by a smith that did a lot of these for a gun club in northern Il, a group purchase or something.
Out comes dowl ..........

I would definitely slug your bore, however, to make sure it wasn't chambered for some obscure calibre made from a necked down .38 Special.
Original barrels are around, but be prepared to pay for it. The problem with replacing the barrel, however, would be the cartridge guides, which are calibre specific. You would have to replace those as well, and there is a possibility that the cartridge lifter might need to be replaced. In all likelihood, the breech face was slightly enlarged to accommodate the larger diameter rim of the .38 Special.

Three grains of Red Dot is a light target load for use in revolvers. It is entirely possible that a metal jacket bullet won't make it out of a rifle barrel.
While it is possible that the original .25 barrel was rechambered without reboring, it seems very unlikely. Reboring and rerifling those old .25-20 and .32-20 barrels was common, since most of them looked like sewer pipes after 50 years of corrosive primers.
By all means make sure everything is OK, then go right ahead and fire standard .38 Special loads. If the rifle had been kept in the original caliber, it would be nothing but a wall hanger due to (most likely) a bad barrel, plus the cost of the ammo today.

Fire destroys Cheswick building that housed 4 businesses
Two volunteer firefighters were hurt on Tuesday afternoon battling a large fire that destroyed an industrial building in Cheswick containing four businesses.
The presence of industrial-grade cleaning chemicals triggered a hazardous materials response to the fire at 110 Cheswick Ave., but no mass evacuation was ordered, said Alvin Henderson Jr., chief of the Allegheny County Department of Emergency Services.
Two nearby homes were evacuated as a safety measure because of fire equipment in the area, he said.
As a precaution, the Allegheny County Health Department would be testing the air in the area, Henderson said. Preliminary tests showed no cause for concern, he said.
Water authorities downstream on the Allegheny River were advised to monitor their intakes, also as a precaution.
The Allegheny County Fire Marshal was investigating and would be interviewing employees and first-arriving firefighters, Henderson said.
According to employees, the fire started in a dryer at Filter Service & Installation that was being used in cleaning rags that had been used to clean restaurant exhaust vents.
The fire was reported at the location, on the boundary between Cheswick and Harmar, shortly after 4:30 p.m.
It produced a thick column of black smoke that rose into the bright, blue afternoon sky. Flames at times were through the roof, which appeared to collapse.
Firefighters from nearly a dozen departments spent about three hours to get the blaze under control.
The building housed four businesses — Filter Service & Installation, Best Air Systems, Pro-Mech and 1st Fire Protection.
Ed Watson said he once owned all of the businesses; he now owns Filter Service and Best Air. He said he has owned the property for 13 years.
Watson said he had just gotten back to his home in Richland when he received a call about the fire and went back.
"I'm kind of lost," he said after taking shelter behind a neighboring building as smoke and debris started to reach ground level. "I've never been through something like this. It always happens to other people."
Watson said he occasionally noticed rainbows in the smoke as firefighters poured water onto the building. He said it looked like a complete loss.
"Nobody got hurt, that's the main thing," he said.
The fire appears to have started in one of two dryers being used by Filter Services, according to employees.
Paul King, a supervisor at Filter Service, said he was the last of about a dozen people to get out of the building.
King said rags used to clean hood exhaust systems in restaurants were in the dryer.
"We use them time and time again. They fall apart from use," he said.
He said a fire started in one of the dryers and was believed to have been extinguished.
But when the dryer was turned back on, King said there was a pop followed by an explosion, and the fire quickly spread out of control.
"It was fast," he said.
Filter Service employee Curt Hubert said he was in the warehouse with two other workers when they heard an explosion. He said they got fire extinguishers to try to fight the flames.
"By the time we got back there, the ceiling was engulfed," he said. Hubert said he tripped getting out of the building and hurt his ankle, but otherwise was OK.
Cheswick firefighter Heather Sandusky, daughter of fire Chief Lindsay Sandusky, suffered a burned hand and was taken to UPMC Mercy hospital in Pittsburgh. She was treated and released.
An East Deer firefighter suffered from shortness of breath and was checked in an ambulance at the scene.
Although the building stood directly behind a gas station on Pittsburgh Street, the gas station was never a concern, according to Henderson.
Electrical power was cut to the area, shutting down the gas station and affecting residents in the immediate area.
Shortly before 10 p.m., there were still 28 West Penn Power customers without electricity, 18 in Cheswick and 10 in Harmar.
Cheswick Mayor Dan Carroll said the fire may have been the largest to hit the borough since a lumber yard fire in the same area about 40 years ago.
"I'm thrilled to death no one was seriously injured," Carroll said at the scene. "That was a doozy of a fire. It really was."
Watson said he would rebuild.
