The BR-X1 Carbone Forgé® by Bell & Ross.To meet watchmaking quality criteria, the engineers have reworked the carbon fibres and the composition of the resin.
The result is a non-porous, water-resistant single-unit case with clean edges, in a deep black, which is the colour of the carbon fibres.
The marbled appearance of each piece is unique thanks to the random way the carbon fibres are mixed. The matt finish reduces reflection for better legibility, and makes it soft to the touch.

Bell & Ross to partner the CHURCHILL - DE GAULLE exhibitionBell & Ross has always been passionate about military history, and in particular aviation, which has made time measurement a cornerstone of navigation. Our collections illustrate the unique parallels between the histories of aviation and watchmaking. This year, Bell & Ross will commemorate the Second World War in its own way, with a watch model that honours the memory of the air forces that served in the conflict. Each watch bears the roundel of the respective army on its dial, in tribute to the heroes of yesteryear. The roundels were found on the wings and fuselage of the military aircraft of the era.
During the official opening ceremony for the Churchill-de Gaulle exhibition at the Musée de l'Armée, Carlos A. Rosillo and Bruno Belamich were honoured to present the Vintage BR 126 Air Force Insignia to Sir Randolph Churchill, the great-grandson of Winston Churchill, and to General Baptiste, Director of the Army Museum.
2015 marks a double commemoration: the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the 50th anniversary of the death of Winston Churchill.
This exhibition pays tribute to two major figures from the Second World War, but also reveals the lesser known public and private sides of these extraordinary individuals. It traces the lives, origins and careers of these two great figures - at the same time both allies and sworn enemies - up to their deaths. Using objects and writings exhibited for the first time, it captures the changing relationship between these two exceptional men whose destinies converged. These military and political figures were also writers, orators and, in Churchill's case, a journalist and painter.
It is very much in keeping with the values of Bell & Ross to support this exhibition, dedicated to two great men who had a vast impact on the 20th century: Churchill and de Gaulle.
The exhibition takes place at the Musée de l'Armée from 10th April to 26th July 2015.
This exhibition is France's largest event dedicated to Sir Winston Churchill.

WW1 EDICIÓN LIMITADABell & Ross has created its new Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada with the idea of capturing the art of enjoying exceptional moments.
Because time is easily forgotten when you're enjoying yourself, Bell & Ross has chosen to equip its new Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada with a movement with a large power reserve. The manual winding mechanism is armed with a double barrel that provides power for up to five days of operation. On the dial, a hand that travels in a slow arc with the inscription "reserva de marcha 5 días", indicates the wearer how many days are left before the watch requires winding.

BR 03 RAFALEInspired by the history of aviation and its technological advances, Bell & Ross collections pay homage to the key periods in civil and military aviation from 1900 to the present day.
The military world has always been a pioneer in numerous fields. Its innovations have had various applications in civilian life, such as the Internet, GPS or even the first business jets. Creating avantgarde technological ties between its civil and military activities, Dassault Aviation has acquired unquestionable expertise of the highest standard.
Bell & Ross and Dassault Aviation share the same passion for aviation, which guides them in their respective creations. In 2013, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Falcon business jet, Bell & Ross paid homage to the civil aviation of the 1960s by presenting the Vintage Falcon model. This year, the two companies are joining forces once again to celebrate the most successful multi-role fighter aircraft on the market: the Rafale.

Looking from the satellite, it would be less trouble if they expanded a taxiway behind 24L(one is partially completed) and took off traffic on 24R and landed traffic on 24L. This results in no aircraft crossing the takeoff path of a runway, and can proceed to the north.
At ATL, they added a taxiway that goes around the end of 26L at a lower elevation than the runway. Landing aircraft taxi around that loop without waiting for departing aircraft which often pass directly over them. But it's accessed from the taxiway in between the two runways. I don't know if that is part of the plan at LAX or even possible there. It makes for a long arrival taxi when using 8L instead of 26R but when 8R is busy, it probably still saves lots of time for arrivals.
traffic is split pretty evenly between northern and southern complexes - moving 24R to the north and adding center taxiway will increase safety - many instances of 24R arriving traffic crossing 24L in front of departing traffic
Does this mean they will be landing closer to my favorite view spot, NandOut Burger while devouring a delicious burger and watching the planes come in close by?
TBIT traffic can easily go to either terminal - and flights to Asia/Hawaii don't need to turn after takeoff anyway. So, even with UA, AS, DL & AA having terminals on the South side (vs VX & WN on the North), the TBIT traffic (almost all heavy/super) is the big reason for this.
Never been to Hawaii but Asia bound flights most definitely DO turn north when departing LAX. Have you flown LAX to China or Other Asian destinations?
On the other hand, this may definitely come in handy, as all 4 A380 flights land and depart on the north side. AFR and SIA's arrive nearly 1 after the other while KAL's is departing. QFA's heads out from the north side as well.
This even more so, with the north and south routes gone.
I was hoping for a better written article. The most obvious information "How much closer?" was notoriously absent. What passes as journalism these days? An article full of opinions but lacking actual facts?
Yeah.... wonder why FAA insists on landing traffic crossing departing runway....always wondered about that
a lot of the reason has to do with simultaneous arrivals. I believe, by regulation, that runways have to be 4300 feet apart to allow simultaneous arrivals, where planes can be within a mile and a half from each other on arrival. the outside runways 25L and 24R meet this requirement while the inside runways do not. so typically you will see arrivals on the outside runways and departures on the inside runways. Unfortunately that means the arriving planes need to cross the inside departing runways to get to their gate.
Just a FYI: 25R at LAX meets the requirement, as for simultaneous arrivals, runways would have to be at least 2500ft apart, assuming wake turbulence does not play a factor. This is how KSFO is able to get away with simultaneous arrivals to the 28s and 19s.
But you're right. Normally, this is why the outer runways are used for arrivals, while the inboards are used for departures.
Because someone has to cross the runway eventually. If departing traffic had to cross, they would have to hold for arrivals, risk potential conflicts if an aircraft did not clear soon enough or became stuck, and there would be less room to stack waiting departures. Additionally, aircraft can pass behind departing aircraft to cross the runway, much like they do in ATL regularly. Traffic needing to cross can taxi back to the approach end and cross, while departures make intersection takeoffs from the next taxiway.
Why not in the backgroud
Not sure of LAX, but I know LAS has to suspend operation on the 1/19 parallels to accomadate the A380 due to wingtip clearance between the two runways.
Umm.. LAS has no A380 service, and while true that they would need to do this for the 1s/19s, it's a long task to have an A380 land on a sub-10,000ft runway (longest is 1R/19L at 9775, with 1L/19R at 8985ft). The A380 would definitely get 25L if it were to fly to there. However, even with T3, KLAS is no-where near equipped to handle the A380.
LAS has a plan in place if the A380 had to land there for some reason (eg. Divert from LAX, emergency landing, etc). We have the same thing at PHX except its a little more extreme for us.
You are correct, LAS does not have such service at this time. However the point I was making that if two parallels are located too close together, then they have to cease operations on one if a A380 or B748 are using the other. I recalled reading LAS was under such a restriction, and wondering if LAX would be similar.
You're correct. IIRC, that restriction goes all the way down to the DC10. LAX has similar with the north side but not the south because of them moving 7R/25L 125ft south of where it used to be. However a lot of that is nullified because of the MIT spacing the A380 gets because of wake turbulence.
I'd expect a similar move for the 24s and yes, I think In-N-Out would be spared because of how far north it is from the threshold. Now, the highway parallel to the 24s is another issue...

I really like old radio programs. This one is fairly entertaining. It is a product of its time. Please do not try to impose modern values on the characters. Do they develop the characters? Not really? Do we get to know Sailor and Slate deep down? Not at all!
This is good, schmaltzy, noir fun! There are a lot of dead people and stuff that makes no logical sense.
Note: there are some scratchy parts.
I highly recommend it.

Read: The Possibilities For A Local Winter Classic
At the Daily News, Jesse Spector looks at the possibilities for a potential Winter Classic at one of the local stadiums.
Spector cites the Sports Business Journal as saying the New Meadowlands Stadium and Citi Field could host the game while Yankee Stadium has a College Football Bowl Game which makes hosting the game nearly impossible.
It had been reported before that the NHL may start to prefer football stadiums over baseball stadiums and that Citi Field was under consideration for the upcoming Winter Classic in Pittsburgh.
…After thinking about it, my prediction on this is that the Rangers will play Philadelphia, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philly, in one of the next two or three years. I think it goes out West again next season with Detroit possibly playing at the University of Michigan, maybe against Colorado to re-ignite that old rivalry.
I think it's really Yankee Stadium or bust for the Rangers and the first time that it's available, the NHL will try to get in on it. As much as I like Citi Field, I don't believe you can hold it there and not involve the Isles and the New Meadowlands Stadium is in New Jersey.
The best idea is playing the game in Central Park, but that one is also seemingly impossible.

Like many European countries, Turkey has a long and fascinating history. Its landscape is dotted with the ruins and cherished remnants of elder civilizations. What truly sets this gem apart are the thousands of kilometers of utopian Mediterranean coastline, featuring some of the most uniquely beautiful beaches in the world. Aptly dubbed the "Turkish Riviera", these golden sands entice millions of visitors to purchase tickets to Turkey each year with its siren song of cool breezes and crystalline waters.
Turkey's Must-See Attractions
- Hop aboard a Blue Cruise for a relaxed and spellbinding voyage along Turkey's idyllic southwestern coast
- Shoot through the frothing rapids of the magnificent Çoruh River, one of the most exhilarating and varied whitewater rafting locales in the world
- Soothe your weary mind and body in Çeşme Peninsula's bubbling natural mineral spas
Discover Turkey
In addition to the region's incredible sand and surf, Turkey is also the original home of two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. A tangible air of mystery still hangs about the ruins of the Temple of Artemis and the marble-littered foundation of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, either of which is worthy of your attention.
Turkey's Pleasures
If contentment is what you seek, your quest begins and ends where the water meets the sand. Head to Antalya, the crown jewel of Turkey's southern coast, for a huge collection of picturesque beaches. A tourist paradise, this city alone contains more resort hotels than the entire coast of Spain.
Plan Your Turkey Holiday
Your flights to Turkey should arrive between June and September for the best beach lounging weather during your visit. If you plan to explore the country's inland historical attractions, the cooler winter months typically offer a great selection of cheap hotels in Turkey. Log onto airberlin.com for all the best flight deals to Turkey. Reserve your flight with airberlin and enjoy affordable fares.

CustomerCHRIS from ROANOKE VA
Remove the bottom cover plate. Disconnect the water inlet and black rubber hose. Remove 2 mounting screws. Pull out electrical connector. Reverse order. Be sure to get the brass inlet connector really tight so it won't leak. I did the final tightning after the part is mounted. Not a bad repair at all. The only problem was that it leaked in the first place and messed up my subfloor and laminate flooring.

It was simple, I do have extended warranty from AHS, but they charge me a trip charge of $55 per repair, and then all parts and labor is covered. But when I checked with Parts Select the parts costed me about $10, so I decided to do it myself.While I was at it, I also bought other parts and updated my dishwasher with some upgrades.Good place to buy any parts from, they are very helpful, if you do not know your parts. They even had drawings of my dishwasher, and this actually helped me find what kind of other parts I could buy to upgrade my dishwasher.Parts select is on my favorites list and pass it on to all my friends.

CustomerSUSANNE from Burlington NJ
The repair was extremely easy!!!!!!!! All I had to do was unscrew the 6 screws on the inside of the door panel. After that I had to unscrew the 2 screws that attached the latch to the panel. Once they were off I just pulled off the 4 wires from the old latch and slid them back on the corresponding metal "tongs" of the new latch. I attached the latch to the panel with the 2 screws. After that I pushed the panel back onto the door and screwed the 6 screws back in......voila.....all done(-:

CustomerJonathan from Falls Church VA
So easy it shouldn't even count as a repair, really. The dishwasher, there when I bought the place, had a lower rack that wouldn't roll out as it should. That's because there were no wheels on the left side. The rack lifts out easily. These wheels snap on to small protrusions from the wire rack.
Customerchris from staten island NY
I clipped the wheels onto the rack. It couldn't be any easier. then i removed the # 25 torx screw which attached the broken slide wheel to the tub and installed the new wheel with the same torx screw.
CustomerRacquel from Lake Charles LA
The new roller just snapped in place.

Two outdoor multi-exercise fitness stations, one for adults and the other for youths, could be set up next to each other in Ogdensburgs Greenbelt as soon as the end of this week.
A concrete foundation was poured Tuesday for the station near the citys Elsa Luksich Municipal Pool and its Maple City Trail. Parks and Recreation Director Matthew J. Curatolo said that, weather permitting, it will settle quickly enough to allow installation of the equipment by Friday or early next week.
The Parks and Recreation Department obtained the ENERGI/ENERGI Jr. outdoor stations through a $4,500 grant received by the St. Lawrence Health Initiatives Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work and Play Project, a grant funded by the state Department of Health. The exercises possible at each station include pull-ups, chin-ups, knee tucks and squats.
City Councilor Jennifer Stevenson questioned the setup at Mondays council meeting, asking why the adult station components couldnt be separated and placed along the Maple City Trail. Mr. Curatolo said the grant requires, among other conditions, no possibility for vandalism.
The trail for now, he said, is too risky for what is essentially a pilot program.
I didnt think this was appropriate, Mr. Curatolo said. It could be in the future.
Mr. Curatolo said that the Greenbelt was a good location because of its highly visible setting and access to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Dean Zalinsky has lived his life as an original, and that flare for individualism has carried over into the guitars that bear his name. With innovative building techniques and body shapes that truly spectacular, Dean's reputation around the world is well earned. Especially beloved within the rock and heavy metal communities, Dean continue to set the bar for how modern guitars can look and sound. Dean guitars are played by a roster of seriously shredding heavyweights. Artists like Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, Pantera's Dimebag Darrell, Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death Punch, Michael Schenker, Laura Wilde, and more have all plugged into Dean guitars when they hit the stage to tear the roof off the joint. With names this impressive on board, it's no wonder you're looking for a Dean to call your own!
But which Dean guitar is right for you? Well, that's almost certainly going to come down to personal preference. Take some time to explore your options and keep in mind the features that are important to you and you'll be strumming an amazing Dean in no time. If you're not entirely sure where to start your search, you can't go wrong with our best sellers. Take the Dimebag Concrete Sledge ML Electric Guitar, for example. This is a painstaking recreation of a guitar from the personal collection of the legendary Dimebag Darrell. Identical down to the tiniest detail, from the screaming Bill Lawrence and USA DMT pickups to the reverse shark tooth inlays. If you're a fan of the late Pantera and Damageplan guitarist, you owe it to yourself to fire up this amazing six string.
Maybe you're more interested in an acoustic guitar? If that's the case, check out the gorgeous Exhibition thin Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar. This acoustic-electric guitar is made with mahogany and features a thin body that makes it easier for anyone to play. Its body is also great for reducing feedback when it's plugged in.

Ron Guth: The 1938-D Jefferson Nickel is considered a semi-key date because of its low mintage. Full Step examples are scarce, but can be found without too much difficulty in MS65 and MS66. In MS67FS, the population drops significantly, and none have been graded higher by PCGS.

Traditionally, the holiday shopping season starts the day after Thanksgiving with Black Friday, but this year more St. Lawrence County retailers are getting an early jump — opening on Thanksgiving.
St. Lawrence Centre Marketing Manager Ronald J. Patnode noted that's a big difference between this year's Black Friday and Black Fridays from the past.
"The biggest change is what time stores are opening," he said. "It's all over the place."
The Massena mall itself will open for business at 5 a.m. Friday, but several stores have different opening times, some earlier and even one that's an hour later.
Sears will open at 8 p.m. Thursday and remain open through closing time Friday. Sears in Potsdam will open at 8 p.m., but then close at midnight before reopening at 4 a.m. Friday.
The Bon-Ton will be opening at midnight, and Bath & Body Works will be opening at 4 a.m.
J.C. Penney won't open until 6 a.m., with a one-day sale.
"Customers can come at any time during the day," store Manager Darlene Ward said. "We want them to be able to come at their own leisure, not ours."
While the sales will be limited to while supplies last, Ms. Ward said "95 percent of the store will be on sale."
Ms. Ward said trying to make things easier for customers is one of the reasons the company decided to eliminate door-busters.
Santa will be at the mall from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday.
"We think now that the election is behind us, people are feeling a little bit better. We're looking forward to a good holiday shopping season."
Other holiday events at the mall include a breakfast with Santa at 9 a.m. Dec. 8. Santa also will be available for photos with pets from 6 to 8 p.m. Dec. 12, 13, 17 and 18.
The mall will also be hosting a 12 Days of Christmas promotion, in which shoppers who show receipts totaling $200 or more at the Customer Service Center will receive a $20 mall gift card.
Also getting in on the action Thursday night is Walmart. According to fliers included in today's paper, Walmart has sales starting at 8 p.m. Thursday with another round of sales starting at 10 p.m. Thursday and yet another round kicking off at 5 a.m. Friday.
Lowe's, which has stores in Potsdam and Ogdensburg, will be opening at 5 a.m. Friday. According to the flier, it is offering "Black Friday savings through Monday."
Olympia Sports, with locations in Massena, Potsdam and Ogdensburg, will be opening its doors at 5 a.m. Friday with a variety of door-buster sales that its flier says will be in place from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The flier for Tractor Supply says the opening is at 6 a.m. Friday with some one-day sales, as well as a four-day sale that starts today.
Rite Aid, with locations in Massena, Potsdam, Canton and Ogdensburg, also is in the Thursday shopping mix, with a three-day sale that its flier says kicks off on Thanksgiving, when it'll be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Big Lots, which has stores in Massena and Potsdam, will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving, reopening at 6 a.m. Friday.
Walgreens will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, with a focus on Thanksgiving Day shopping rather than on Black Friday.

BUFFALO, NY - If you decide to take a walk on the trails in Chautauqua County be aware there's an itching problem.
Signs have been posted altering folks to spray when outdoors.
Mosquitoes infected with ' Eastern Equine Encephalitis ' have been found in Mosquito pools tested at Audubon Center and Sanctuary.
"This is a forested wetland and swamp area and these Mosquito aren't breeding everywhere just these wetlands," Christine Schuyler with the Chautauqua County Department of Health said.
This is the first time Mosquitoes infected with the EEE virus have been found in Western New York.
"The Mosquitoes so far only feeds on birds -- so they don't feed on mammals such as horses or people," Schuyler said.
But measures are still being taken. The Chautauqua County Board of Health has authorized aerial spraying that will cover 6300 acres in the area. It will take place Sunday starting at 7 pm and folks are advised to stay inside an hour after spraying occurs.
Permits have been issues by the state and the epa advises the pesticide to be used with caution.
"It not something you even notice is falling from the sky and there is no run off and no effect on wildlife," Schuyler said.
No people have gotten sick so far from the infected Mosquitoes, but it's all being taken very seriously.
"So you've got better than a third of a chance of dying of you are infested with the virus -- that's really high for any sort of virus and even those who survive-- are left with severe brain damage."

PAWTUCKET — After the Pawtucket Red Sox had eked out a pair of stunning – and thrilling – come-from-behind, one-run victories the previous two nights, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre returned the favor on Tuesday evening.
The RailRiders notched two unearned runs, one each in the sixth and seventh frames, to thump the PawSox, 2-1, before a sparse crowd of 4,430 fans at McCoy Stadium.
Manager Dave Miley's crew rode a superb mound outing from starter Graham Stoneburner, not to mention fellow righty Dellin Betances, to end Pawtucket's win streak at three.
The good news: Pawtucket, which had captured 14 of their last 16 – including five of the previous six against this same foe – had entered the series finale against the RailRiders with a 3½-game lead over Rochester in the International League's North Division. It fell to 75-62, while the cellar dwellers improved to 65-73.
The defeat ruined a solid start by Steven Wright, the PawSox's 28-year-old knuckleballer from California. Wright allowed four hits, an unearned run and two walks while whiffing a half-dozen in six innings of work.
In the end, relievers Brock Huntzinger (who took the loss and dropped to 2-2), Rubby De La Rosa and Brayan Villareal yielded just three hits and a walk while striking out two between them.
Stoneburner (4-5) escaped with the victory with a two-hitter through six. He walked one and struck out a trio. Even with the loss, skipper Gary DiSarcina's bunch won the season series against SWB, 11-5.
Betances, who often fired fastballs over 95, earned his fifth save. He allowed only a seventh-inning two-bagger to Jonathan Diaz and a free bag while fanning four over the final three frames.
Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth, Pawtucket got its fan base rocking when, after Betances whiffed Heiker Meneses, he hit Jackie Bradley Jr. with a delivery. With a full count on Brock Holt, though, RailRiders' catcher J.R. Murphy threw out Bradley Jr. attempt to rob second.
Holt immediately walked, but Diaz flew out to short to end it.
The PawSox had opened the scoring in the back half of the third when Jeremy Hazelbaker pounded his 11th dinger of the campaign into the right-center field bleachers. The blast came on Stoneburner's 1-1 delivery, and occurred with one down.
Wright, meanwhile, quietly had recorded eight straight outs before walking No. 9 batterAddison Maruszak with two retired in the top of the third, though managed his fourth strikeout against Corey Patterson to end the frame.
He yielded his first hit of the game when J.R. Murphy poked a bloop hit just off the glove of shortstop Heiker Meneses in short center to start the fourth. The RailRiders' third batter, Ronnier Mustellier, then ripped a shot to deep right, but Bryce Brentz hustled back and made a stellar snag on the warning track to prevent any damage.
Wright responded by fanning Dan Johnson and forcing designated hitter Randy Ruiz to fly harmlessly to second.
It looked as if Scranton/Wilkes-Barre had solved the knuckleball specialist in the fifth after Adonis Garcia drove a one-out single to center and Neil Medchill knocked a ground hit through the hole between third and short.
Meneses, however, made a diving snag of Maruszak's hard bouncer up the middle and passed the ball with his glove to second baseman Brock Holt. He then fired to first to complete the superb 6-4-3 twin killing.
The RailRiders managed to knot it 1-1 in the sixth; Wright walked leadoff batter Corey Patterson, and Murphy sent him to second with a ground single to left. Both moved up on a passed ball, and Patterson raced home on Mustellier's groundout to short.
With Murphy still at second, though, Wright whiffed Johnson and got Ruiz to pop out to Bradley Jr. in shallow center.
Following Brentz' homer, Stoneburner settled himself nicely, retiring 11 consecutive PawSox through the sixth. Six came via groundout and two by whiff.
DiSarcina replaced Wright with righthander Brock Huntzinger in the top of the seventh, and he immediately surrendered to Adams a hit up the middle. He sprinted to third after Garcia reached on Holt's fielding miscue of a bouncer to second, and Adams scored the go-ahead run after Medchill drove a hit to center.
Maruszak then roped a low liner to Huntzinger, who made the catch and threw to first for the double play, and the hurler escaped further damage after getting Patterson to foul out to first baseman Drew Sutton.
Jonathan Diaz greeted Dellin Betances in the seventh with a crushed, one-out double down the left-field stripe, but nothing came of it as the reliever struck out both Hamilton and Brentz. Remarkably, he was just the first Pawtucket baserunner stranded.
EXTRA BASES: Boston traded righthander Clayton Mortensen to Kansas City on Tuesday for outfielder Quintin Berry, while the PawSox added reliever Brayan Villareal, who had been optioned from the parent club, to replace Mortensen's spot.
Mortensen had begun the season with the Red Sox, mustering a 1-2 mark with a 5.34 ERA in 24 relief appearances prior to being reassigned to Pawtucket on July 4. He had six relief outings with the PawSox in July before moving into the starting rotation in August.
In five starts, he went 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA, and garnered a 3-0 overall record (2.47 ERA) in 14 tilts (six of them starts).
As for the 28-year-old Berry, he spent the majority of last season with the Detroit Tigers, where he hit .258 and recorded 10 doubles, six triples, two homers and 29 RBI in 94 games. He also was a flawless 21-for-21 in stolen-base tries.
Berry, a fifth-round pick by Philadelphia in 2006 after starting at San Diego State University, played in 39 tilts with Triple-A Toledo in 2012 and hit .270 with 19 steals in 22 attempts. The left-handed hitting outfielder opened the season with the Mud Hens, batting .168 in 49 games (mostly in center) while gathering 15 stolen bags.
He later landed a job with the Omaha Storm Chasers, Kansas City's Triple-A club, in early June and compiled a .222 average with 13 thefts.
Before Tuesday night's tilt, if the season ended with it, the PawSox would face Norfolk in the I.L. semifinal set, with the playoff opener slated for Wednesday night, Sept. 4, in Virginia. After the second, the foes would return to McCoy Stadium for the final three games (the last two if necessary).
The third would start Friday night, Sept. 6; still, the Tides held a mere half-game lead over Rochester in the wild-card race.
Tickets for all possible Sox playoff contests are now on sale at the McCoy box office; fans also may charge ducats with any major credit card by calling (401) 724-7300 or visiting www.pawsox.com.
Should Pawtucket qualify for the post-season, the tickets for the Governors' Cup semis and finals would be priced the same as the regular season -- $12 each for box seats and $8 for adult general admission access ($5 for children aged 12 and under, as well as senior citizens).
Fans who purchase a "PawSox Playoff Pack" – a strip of box seats for all six potential home games – will receive a discounted price of only $66.
Pawtucket tonight will open a pivotal four-game set against Syracuse at the ballyard. Righty knuckleballer Charlie Haeger (4-4, 4.86 ERA) will take on lefty Danny Rosenbaum (7-10, 3,78) at 7:05 p.m., while a PawSox pitcher still to be determined will face righthander Yunesky Maya (8-7, 3.91) at 7:05 p.m., Thursday … The series will continue Friday at 6:15 p.m., with Anthony Ranaudo (2-1, 3.42) taking on Jeff Mandel (3-8, 4.78) … As for the home season finale, knuckleballer Allen Webster (8-4, 3.68) will take on fellow righthander Caleb Clay (5-2, 2.57) at 6:05 p.m … On Friday night, PawSox officials will treat followers to a special fireworks display (to country music) following the game against the Chiefs, and also conduct an always-superb "Closing Home Game Celebration" on Saturday evening.

AMHERST, N.Y. --Amherst Police say a suspect is in custody after a woman was stabbed inside a Walmart store.
The store where the stabbing took place is located at the intersection of Sheridan Drive and North Bailey Avenue.
Investigators say a 50-year-old woman was stabbed in the back, but only suffered a superficial wound. A good samaritan helped subdue the suspect until police arrived.
That suspect, 61-year-old Edward Grabiarz, faces menacing, weapons, and assault charges.
Grabiarz appeared in Amherst Town Court Thursday morning and pleaded not guilty. Bail has been set at $25,000 or $50,000 bond.
Detectives say Grabiarz did not know the woman he stabbed and don't know why he assaulted her.

Video: Sappi paper mill comes down
MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) - The power plant that at one time generated electricity for the Sappi paper mill has been demolished.
Sunday morning, the legs of the building were blown out with explosives and in seconds the building crumbled to the ground.
Many former workers gathered for hours outside of the site reminiscing. Some saying it looked more like a tailgating party for the plant's final showing. Lenny Stark says he came to say goodbye. He was an employee for over 25 years saying, "I made a good living there so I'm thankful for that."
Another group had bonfires with a dozen friends talking about their many generations who raised families off of the living they made from the plant.
To prepare for the blast around 8 A.M. police will closed Lakeshore Drive from Cottage Grove to McKracken.
Two public locations that offered views are at the Harbor Town Beach and the Grand Trunk Dock.

SNOW: ISLANDERS CONTINUE TO SHOPAlso: Wang no longer "going dark" on arena news
5:00 pm: Garth Snow said his team has the resources to spend and would be interested if a top player became available to the Islanders in a salary cap-relief trade prior to or during the regular season. Just as importantly, Islanders owner Charles Wang did not back down when the issue was brought up during Media Day at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday afternoon.
"We have never said we wouldn't," said Wang, asked if he was in position to financially support the acquisition of an impact player. "We'll do everything we can to put the best product on the ice."
Since several teams are desperate for cap relief prior to the start of the season, I asked Snow if he was looking at another deal in the next two weeks that would be similar to his low-cost trade for James Wisniewski. The Islanders could use a top-six forward.
"I'm always looking," said Snow. "We're always looking to add to our lineup." The general manager added that he's never received anything but unqualified support from Wang when he's gone to the owner with a potential trade for an expensive player.
The Islanders are approximately $15 million under the league's salary cap of $59.4 million. Teams above the cap or ones that could be in need of relief include the Vancouver Canucks, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers.
As teams finalize their rosters as the NHL's opening day approaches, even more could be interested in moving contracts of quality players to low-salaried teams like the Islanders, Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues. The cost for the acquiring team would not result in an equal-value trade. A potential deal would be similar to Snow's theft of Wisniewski (making $3 million) from Anaheim for a conditional third round draft pick, or Tampa Bay acquiring Simon Gagne ($5 million) from Philadelphia for Matt Walker and a fourth-rounder.
Wang "Not Going Dark" on Lighthouse Issue: At the Media Day press conference, Charles Wang reported "no progress" on his efforts to keep the Islanders in Nassau County.
"We have a (Coliseum) lease until 2015," said Wang, "and we're going to be here until 2015."
Since Wang has absorbed tens of millions of dollars in losses since buying the franchise ten years ago, I asked him if there was anything he can say to Islander fans concerned about how much longer he can fund the hockey team without an arena development. Never known for being comfortable discussing economics in a public setting, the owner said, "We're committed to Long Island. I want to keep this professional sports team on Long Island. This is where they belong." In his own way, Wang tried to send the message that the team would be okay.
He also neatly side-stepped my question about whether his recently revised lease with Nassau County – in which the Islanders generate revenue from parking and from other Coliseum events like major concerts – has softened the crushing financial losses.
Wang would not get specific about alternatives for an arena outside Nassau County. "We'll look at other options, but right now our focus is on the hockey season." However, Wang is no longer "going dark" on the subject of the arena issue, hinting that – after a year of mostly silence – he would communicate with fans and media if there is any news. That in itself is good news.
On the hockey team, Wang has "high expectations" for the upcoming season. "We embarked on this rebuilding program many years ago. We're getting closer and closer."
Notes: Wisniewski (groin) was out for today's workout, while Mark Eaton (back) made his training camp debut. Zenon Konopka (back) remains out, but could practice with the team on Wednesday. Doug Weight, who took a scheduled day off today, said the plan is to have the occasional rest day. The captain is returning from shoulder surgery.
Snow on whether the aging Coliseum hurt his pitches this summer while he pursued free agents like Paul Martin, who signed up with the Penguins and their new arena. "If you can stay at the Ritz-Carlton or a motor lodge, what do you expect"?
Islanders Media Day: The Islanders hosted a Media Day today (with lunch!) and drew a large crowd. As someone who's been in that spot before – especially with the Jets, Giants and Yankees all the rage this week – I can tell you that it's no small feat. Congrats to new PR chief Kimber Auerbach and his staff on a first-class event.

While our country's servicemen are probably not as preoccupied with style as yours truly, it's undeniable that the military is constantly influencing the fashion world. Pilots' uniforms, in particular, have served as quite a well of inspiration for everything from aviator sunglasses to my personal favorite: bomber jackets.
Over the years the bomber jacket has waxed and waned in popularity (including one very memorable appearance on a young Tom Cruise in Top Gun) and is experiencing renewed interest once again. Recently, a particular breed of the cropped flight jacket (specifically the MA-1 bomber) popped up in numerous Resort 13 collections including Givenchy and T By Alexander Wang. The trend also carries into spring as evidenced by the incredible dove gray textured versions at the Theyskens' Theory show.
Across all the runways, one thing was certain: the revamped jacket has received a much-deserved makeover in the form of beautiful prints and luxurious textures. Read on to see how I styled the new bomber three different ways.
Look 1: Contrast-Sleeve
A contrast-sleeve bomber is a street style staple right now and has been worn by everyone from fashion insiders like Miroslava Duma to singing sensation Taylor Swift. For my own version, I wanted a jacket that seamlessly blended classic military elements--slim fit, banded cuffs--with style-conscious, sporty details. This particular one by Rag & Bone fit the bill with its delightful contrast of charming blue blooms against tough leather sleeves and the traditional striped trim.
Style Notes:
Although mixing prints isn't anything new, I'm a firm believer that adding multiple patterns to an outfit creates a more dimensional look. Enter my striped A.P.C. button-down. The baby blue color complements the floral print on the jacket, without feeling too busy. I finished the outfit with skinny jeans cuffed at the ankle and a pair of mirrored wedge sneakers for a playful touch.
What I Wore:
Rag & Bone Cambridge Jacket ($795); A.P.C. Two-Tone Striped Shirt ($210); James Jeans Twiggy Jeans ($158) in Alpine; kate spade new york Post Street Madison Bag ($368); Boutique 9 Wykoff Sneakers ($140) in Light Gold Synthetic.
Look 2: Oversized Neutral
Please excuse me if I seem to have a perennial obsession with what to wear to the office, but keeping my style on-point at work is a never-ending labor of love. Clearly, I was game for taking the bomber to the boardroom, but picking the proper one is a delicate art. Ultimately, the name of the game is subtlety. A slightly oversized black bomber from BCBGeneration felt completely professional, almost blazer-like, while still maintaining some coolness.
Style Notes:
There's something inherently sporty about this jacket, so I decided to further that vibe by incorporating a second athletic piece into the outfit. These apple green Diane Von Furstenberg track-inspired trousers do the trick, while also adding a refreshing dose of color to the ensemble. As for the rest of my outfit, I picked pieces that fit within my three key guidelines for office dressing: professional, sophisticated, and fashion-conscious. My structured alligator-print handbag feels polished, and a pair of classic nude pumps is always a faithful standby.
What I Wore:
BCBGeneration Jacquard Bomber Jacket ($168); Iro Arna Blouse ($324, 914.472.4033, available now); Diane von Furstenberg Triacetate Naples Ankle Soft Canvas Pant ($298, 646.486.4800, available now); Oscar de la Renta Enamel Mosaico Bracelet ($245); Massimo Dutti Patent Leather Court Shoes ($60); Botkier Valentina Shoulder Bag ($350); Lia Sophia Unison Necklace ($148); Rose Pierre Treasure Chest Bangle Set ($85).
Look 3: Photo Print
From geometric designs to botanical patterns, I've never met a print I didn't like. So you can imagine my excitement when designers like Peter Pilotto and Mary Katrantzou spearheaded the digital print movement, infinitely expanding the possibilities for pattern. Obviously digital prints feel very modern, which makes them a choice way to make the bomber jacket feel current. I selected a Diesel iteration featuring a unique photo cityscape print, which provided the direction for my downtown look.
Style Notes:
To match the edgy vibe of the bomber jacket, I chose a Jerome Dreyfuss leopard bucket bag. The slouchy shape lends my look some nonchalance, while the animal print feels slightly wild. Then, since the bomber and bag demand a fair amount of attention, I kept the rest of my outfit relatively sleek. A below-the-knee dress and classic heels add a subtle sophistication to balance the printed elements.
What I Wore:
Diesel G-Casol-A Jacket ($328, available February) in Photo Cityscape Print; H&M Long Sleeveless Black Pencil Dress ($50); Jerome Dreyfuss Alain Animal-Print Calf Hair Bucket Bag ($1815); Lillian Crowe Small Flexion Necklace ($88); Adornia Fine Jewelry Donna Bracelet ($225 each); Kathryn Amberleigh K403B Black Snakeskin Pumps ($285, 323.272.3682, available now).
J.Crew Midrise Toothpick Jean ($168) in Distressed Indigo; T by Alexander Wang Neoprene Bomber Jacket ($340); Topshop Co-ord Lime Jacquard Skirt ($76).
The beauty of the bomber lies in its sheer versatility--style it feminine with a flouncy skirt or aim for a casual vibe with a pair of boyfriend jeans.
