Comments about Hot Sticks ArtiSticks Wood Tip Drumsticks:
i first bought the tribal 5a sticks because i was a new drummer and i thought they looked cool but now some two years later i am continueing to buy them again becuase they are super light and dont break easly i have yet to break a pair they also have a coating that give it a better grip so even though they dont look profesional they work great
Comments about Hot Sticks ArtiSticks Wood Tip Drumsticks:
seriously they are. I use the Dragon and Super Bad 5A and they rock. I haven't broken one yet and I hit somewhat hard. In fact I still use the first pair I bought like a month ago. The only bad thing is the coating they put on. It's pretty slippery when you first get them but it wears off pretty fast...These sticks are great and as long as they keep making them, I'll keep getting them.
Comments about Hot Sticks ArtiSticks Wood Tip Drumsticks:
Im a student learning percussion and these sticks a pretty good. The graphics are good! They fade over time but iv had mine for 3,4 months and it has just started fading in the last month or two. My first 5A sticks, and they rule. Pretty good sticks, 4.5
Comments about Hot Sticks ArtiSticks Wood Tip Drumsticks:
These sticks are nice to work with, and have lasted well into the 450+ hour range of use. I recommend these sticks if your into bangin' around on your drums for fun, but if you're a more serious and active player, you may want to look elsewhere...

Comments about ESP LTD MHFR-330FM Flame Maple Top Electric Guitar:
First off...this guitar is worth every penny of the retail price...I got mine (brand new) for a lot less....and I mean ALOT less....I was very impressed with the finish, the setup, and just the overall quality. I read reviews about the esp active pickups falling short of emgs...I have had plenty of guitars with emgs and I would say the esp pickups do just fine( I think people get hung up on brand names)...keep in mind I don't care for emgs anyway...

LOWVILLE An ex-convict was jailed Thursday after allegedly threatening another man with what appeared to be a handgun.
Village police charged Mark A. Rahman, 30, Lowville, with second-degree menacing. He was arraigned in Village Court and sent to Lewis County jail without bail.
Mr. Rahman was accused of seemingly pulling out a gun during an argument with another man, whom police did not name, on Sunday on South State Street.
He was released in August after serving nearly one year and three months in state prison on a conviction in Jefferson County Court on a charge of fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
Mr. Rahman in that case admitted that he possessed a credit card belonging to Nellie Truesdell on Jan. 19, 2010, in Watertown. He also admitted that he stole her purse from Truesdells Service Center, 231 Mill St., but said he did not know the purse contained credit cards, which made the theft a felony.

PHOENIX (KPNX/WUSA) -- A man in Phoenix, Ariz., was paralyzed but unable to speak. He told his wife he wanted to live by blinking and is now on his way to recovering.
After suffering a stroke, Mike Dils was taken to a hospital and was in a coma. He couldn't talk or move. He was "locked in" his body.
The doctors told his wife Cheryl that this is how Mike would be forever and that she had a decision to make. Mike had always said he didn't want to live this way, but she couldn't pull the plug.
Cheryl thought Mike was still in there somewhere and was looking for a sign, so she went to his room to ask if he wanted to die. She asked him first, "do you know what's going on?" He blinked once, which meant "yes." Then, Cheryl ask him, "Do you want to live?" He blinked once.
See the emotional interview with Mike and his wife above.

The wind could carry the balloon 150 miles from the launch site so we will be using GPS to track and locate the package along with a loud buzzer as a low tech back-up locator.
The package could end up in some hard to find areas like on top of a hill, deep in a forest or even on a lake! A GPS transmitter will allow us to follow the package as it travels and when it comes to a stop give us a clue to the final position.
We consulted a WNY company called FollowThatCar.com about our GPS needs and found a solution to our specific needs. After going over the "Mission 2 The Sky" flight log, the GPS gurus at FollowThatCar suggested a great solution which would not only allow our ground crew to track the flight unit, but also allow all our viewers to follow along in real time as well!
After we release the balloon our viewers and student scientists can go to wgrz.com and link to a special page which will show the position of the balloon as it moves through the sky along with a special icon showing our chase team as we follow the package. The flight up to 100,000ft and back down again should take several hours to complete. Our chase team will be tracking the flight unit and will attempt to make an in tact recovery based on the latest GPS signals received as it impacts the Earth.
While the GPS may get us close to the flight unit it may come to rest in a location that is not easily found. As a simple backup to the GPS, the package will also be equipped with a loud 128db buzzer. Our chase team will use the signal from the GPS to track the package, then when close, hone in on the sound of the buzzer to make the recovery.

Sony SRS-X11 reviewRecommended
It might not look like much, but Sony has packed a ton of features into this little cubic speaker.
It might not look like much, but Sony has packed a ton of features into this little cubic speaker.
New users will love what this Bluetooth speaker has to offer, but Charge 2 owners won't find a reason to upgrade.
UE's affordable Roll speaker carries on the company's colorful spirit and learns some new, acrobatic tricks.
Koss packed surprising sound delivery into this small, charmingly-designed package, but what else can it do?
Creative's waterproof Bluetooth speaker is an unbeatable deal that delivers full rich sound for up to 10 hours.
While being rugged enough to handle the elements has its benefits, weak sound performance and uninspired design drag this Bluetooth speaker down.
You'll be hard-pressed to find many other Bluetooth speakers that float in the water. The pricey BackFloat does it well, but its struggles in other key areas.
Some will enjoy the Go V2's understated design, but that's just about all there is to like in this Bluetooth speaker.
If vibrant design and a crap-ton of features are on your must-have list, the UE Boom is the Bluetooth speaker for you.

A stalemate in Congress that caused a government shutdown Tuesday for the first time in 17 years came as no surprise for Woonsocket auto mechanic Paul Morin.
"I stayed up and watched the entire thing and, personally, I'm with the Republicans on this one because I believe Obamacare will hurt the country," Morin says. "Of course I'm upset that we have the first government shutdown in nearly two decades, but I'm more upset the Democrats didn't do more to negotiate with the Republicans to avert this."
The U.S. government partially shut down Tuesday for the first time in 17 years in a standoff between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans over healthcare reforms. Republicans in the House of Representatives wanted to block Obama's signature Affordable Care Act by tying continued government funding to measures that would undermine it. But the Democratic-controlled Senate repeatedly rejected those efforts.
"It's all the fault of the Republicans," argued Jeanette F., a Woonsocket resident who requested her last name not be used because her son works for the city. "The Republicans have always given Democratic presidents a hard time, but what they've been doing to Obama is nothing like I've ever seen before. I welcome Obamacare. I think it's a good thing because it will make health care affordable."
The federal government shutdown will impact local veterans who could see a possible disruption in payments, but only if the shutdown is extended for any significant length of time.
Most veteran services offered through the Department of Veterans Affairs will continue because lawmakers approve money one year in advance for the VA's health programs. Veterans will still be able to visit hospitals for inpatient care, get mental health counseling at vet centers or get prescriptions filled at VA health clinics.
Operators will still staff the crisis hotline and claims workers will still process payments to cover disability and pension benefits.
The Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center says it is fully operational despite the shutdown of the federal government. Medical Center funds are appropriated through Sept. 30, 2014. This means that the hospital, its clinics, and community-based outpatient clinics will remain open without any interruption of clinical services.
"The VA has funds available to ensure claims processing and payments in the compensation, pension, education, and vocational rehabilitation programs will continue through late October," said Leslie Pierson, health system specialist to the chief of staff and acting public affairs officer for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Providence.
"However, in the event of a prolonged shutdown, claims processing and payments in these programs will be suspended when funds are exhausted," she said.
As for any immediate impact, Pierson said those veterans appealing the denial of disability benefits to the Board of Veterans Appeals will have to wait longer for a decision because the board will not issue any decisions during a shutdown.
The Veterans Administration's regional office in Providence serves a potential clientele of 166,600 veterans, including approximately 91,161 in Rhode Island and 75,439 in Southeastern Massachusetts.
"It is the mission of the Providence VA Medical Center to honor America's veterans by providing exceptional health care that improves their health and well-being. A key part of fulfilling this mission is providing uninterrupted continuity of care," Pierson said.
The shutdown will have no immediate impact on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program. Fred Sneesby, spokesman for the R.I. Department of Human Services, says SNAP beneficiaries will get their October benefits.
"The United States Department of Agriculture will keep us informed of any changes, especially if the shutdown is prolonged, but for now benefits will continue to be distributed," he said.
As for the Head Start program, which helps low-income students gain access to developmental services to prepare them for school, Sneesby said all local Head Start programs are operating, but there could be interruptions should the shutdown last three weeks or more.
Meals On Wheels Association of America President and CEO Ellie Hollander said Tuesday that the inaction and failure of Congress to come up with a passable budget resolution has added "insult to injury" because senior nutrition programs are already dealing with devastating cuts due to sequestration, funding that has never kept up with inflation, increased food and transportation costs, and increased need.
"Should a shutdown persist for any considerable length of time, local Meals on Wheels programs that rely on government funding could experience a delay in reimbursements for meals and services delivered," she said. "Facing such funding uncertainty, programs could be forced to suspend meal services, create or expand waiting lists for meals, cut the number of meals or days they serve, and reduce delivery days."
The Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island's home-delivered meal program began more than 40 years ago and is the only nonprofit meal delivery program serving the entire state of Rhode Island. Currently, this program provides approximately up to five noontime meals per week to approximately 1,500 qualified individuals.
The congregate meal program provides hot, nutritious meals to seniors throughout Providence and Pawtucket. The program has seven dining sites in various locations throughout the city of Providence.
"Our organization believes that reinstating full federal funding for programs such as Meals on Wheels and ending sequestration is not only the right thing to do from both a moral and fiscal perspective, but that it is a no-brainer," Hollander said. "We can either invest a little in senior nutrition programs now, or spend a lot more on the negative consequences that will develop for health care spending later."

It's a bittersweet day. On one hand, I'll miss rooting for Dickey and watching his story evolve. During an era where there has been more losing than winning, Dickey has served as a distraction to that and gave me something to root for every five days. He has been great since the moment he was promoted to the big leagues early in the 2010, and I happy for him considering all his accomplished.
However, it made a lot of baseball sense to trade him. Let's face it – the Mets have been terrible, and their record has only gotten worse since he arrived. It's not his fault – he has performed at a high level. But with R.A. on the roster, this is a 74 win team, at most. They needed to get better – not just for today, but for tomorrow as well. True, there's no guarantee when acquiring prospects, but as Andy Martino of the Daily News said on WFAN on Saturday, the Minor Leagues are where Major Leaguers come from, and D'Arnaud is a top prospect. That makes this a pretty good bet. It is a sell-high move with a long term goal in mind, and – if the Mets believe they can be better over the long term by doing this – it's hard to argue against it.

In the Sept. 30 issue of the Sun Advocate was a notice of the application by the Utah American Energy Company to the Division of Oil and Gas applying to open the Lila Canyon Mine.
This should be approved so they can proceed with the plans to open the mine.
While this mine is actually in Emery County it will also help the economy of Carbon County a great deal.
The environmentalists should be kept from interfering with this mine. They should stay in southern Utah.

It's described as a bush but is actually a tree and soooooooooo many leaves. I have it on my front porch along side my St Francis of Assisi statue - a perfect fit. Pricey but worth it.Read More
Never been so wowed-out about an artificial plant and this is actually the first I have EVER had anywhere lived. I had some other neighbor's come out of their townhose to ask me if it was real while I was spritzing it with a water-based, scentless to humans--BITTER YUCK, that makes cats not want to chew anything that's sprayed on it. Have this in a once-empty corner behind my main desk, as my desk faces at angle so have great view of lush canopy of trees around where I live. My cat actually came up on desk and layed under the branches on desk, as if some hidden instictual trait was activated--so I am happy and so is my Maine Coone Cat. I priced this VERY SAME Capensia Bush and found it as high as FOUR TIMES The "O" and only lower one than that was at TWICE what The "O" has this great tree. I may now have to contemplate getting a second one for a corner in dining room as again, The "O" out-did themself and the FACT it's made in Georgia, USA means ALOT TO ME! Do not even hesitate buying this because I have a rather contemporary and eclectic artsy tastes and although a retired and disabled Veteran, I am an artist and musician when not wearing a the uniform and if this tree even remotely looked "trailorparkesque", it would have been sent back in no time!Read More
Companion tree
I bought this for my wife and she really pleased. Our Ficus tree needed a companion and this was the perfect match. It filled out what used to be an empty corner in our family room. I would buy it again in the blink of an eye. Would I recommend it to a friend ? You bet I would.Read More
Capensia Bush
The pictutre simply does not do this piece justice.Its perfect for the corner in my livingroom and adds such nice warm tomes to the otherwise lifeless area!Read More
Took twice to make it!
After receiving a destroyed first unit, and following Overstock.com's web page procedure for returns, Overstock sent a new one immediately. Second time was perfect! Box in great shape, so was the tree! Just what the picture looked like, just as the description said. Perfect. Rounds out the corner in our basement family room perfectly. Love the dual colors!Read More
Nice tree but...........
when my tree came in I was very excited until I took it out of the box. Its was not 6.5 ft. tall it was more like 5'7 my hight and I was looking for a tall tree because we have really tall ceilings... But the tree it self does look nice just wish it was the high they say it isRead More
Questions & Answers

The basket is 12" in diameter.
It is actually in a basket. I intend on putting mine in a larger pot to cover up the basket. The basket is about a 3 gallon size.

Fathead Makes A Great Gift: Hey you! If you're looking for the right One Direction gift, Fathead has the perfect wall art present that is better than any old poster or sticker. Our Niall Horan: One Direction Fathead Wall Decal is perfect for a birthday, graduation, holidays or just because. This gift is one that any One Direction fan will always remember.
Name: Niall James Horan
Born: September 13, 1993 in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland.
About Niall: Niall Horan, known as the funny one in music sensation One Direction, began his journey with 1D after auditioning for the 7th season of The X Factor. During the competition he was paired up with the rest of the members that now comprise One Direction. They were signed by Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records in 2010.
Niall Horan Fathead Graphic: Looking for a Niall Horan poster? Welcome to the Niall Horan Fathead graphic. There's a world of difference. Posters are boring and they just don't hold up and mess with your walls with tape, tacks and putty. Only a Niall Horan Fathead wall graphic is moveable and reusable and won't damage your walls. Since when did a Niall Horan poster or wall decal jump out of the wall at you and look so real? A Niall Horan poster is no match for a Niall Horan Fathead wall decal. If you're a Niall Horan fan, get it For Real with a Niall Horan Fathead wall graphic.
What Is A Fathead Wall Graphic?:
Fathead is Huge! REAL.BIG. Fathead wall decals are life-size action images that you stick on any smooth surface. You can move them and reuse them and they are safe for walls. Fathead wall decals are way better, bigger and tougher than a poster or sticker. Choose from hundreds of licensed sports and entertainment images.
You can also get a Fathead Custom Creation! Upload your photos to make your own Fathead graphic using our customizer. Need decorating ideas? Need to find a unique gift? Need ideas for party decorating? Need to decorate a den, office, kid's room? Fathead has you covered! Great for party planners, wedding planners, interior designers, decorators, sports enthusiasts, and fans of all ages! A Fathead wall decal can transform an entire room in a fraction of the time, and cost of painting or wallpapering.
What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall. As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic. You can stick 'em near your REAL.BIG. or use 'em to decorate another space.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface. Need to decorate for a party or get together? Fatheads are the ultimate companion for watching the big game or as decorations for a theme party.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

Comments about Fathead Niall Horan: 1D:
Gave to our 12 yr old daughter as a Christmas gift and it was a huge hit! She loves it. She was able to distribute the many pieces included in the kit around her room to give her just the right feel. It's much more intimate feeling than a simple poster and enables her to apply her own style to the arrangement. We couldn't be happier.

The planet of Remote Aerial Photography is so special that most people never get a chance to encounter the thrill of taking still photographs or video from the vantage point of remote flying. With the use of a variety of remote flying autos, you can encounter that thrill. Remote Aerial Photography is not as costly as imagined and it is readily available to any who are interested in learning a new ability and possibly expanding a present talent. There are five methods for placing a camera in the air supported by two techniques with two particular approaches.
Tools for Remote Aerial Photography
The initially decision is do you want to fly FPV (1st Person View) which permits you to fly the craft or view the crafts flight from a little streaming video camera giving a view a lot like getting in the pilot's seat. You can also fly the craft from the ground watching it really is overall performance and controlling it from an outside view. Both operate equally nicely but FPV is becoming the AP (Aerial Photography) choice as it offers a view of what your camera will record plus enabling actual scene choice.
Most people select to manage their aerial automobile by working with manual remote radio manage. It is the significantly less complex process. Other individuals select to equip their craft with a device that permits them to system the flight path, altitude, and speed of their craft. In these instances, they launch the craft, get it started, and remotely activate their pre-programmed flight path. The automobile follows the path returning house following finishing its mission. The pilot typically handles the landing.
In the course of either flight process, if the pilot chooses FPV the pilot can trigger images or video on demand or record the entire flight.
Cars for Placing a Camera aloft
There are five principal methods of lifting a camera from the ground to take remote photographs or video. Those are airplane, helicopter, tricopter, quad copter, and glider. Note that remote blimps also provide this capacity though not as well known with most interested in this venture. The most familiar choice is an airplane. Currently a number of remote airplanes exist especially created for aerial photography. One particular example is the AP Answer created by WhisperShots.com.
It virtually seems it really is about the number of motors you want. Most of these craft are electrical powered so we speak about motors not engines. Helicopters are the most familiar of this group. We see them fly Medevac flights or military. As a remote automobile, it is the most complicated craft to master. Due to that reality helicopters stay a choice for only the most knowledgeable helicopter pilots. Its benefit is it maneuvers nicely in all directions, hovers and can land on a little area.
The subsequent craft, the tricopter is special in some characteristics. The use of 3 motors with a single giving counter rotation thrust offers some stability. Mostly the tricopter relies on gyros, which correct deviation to pitch, roll, and yaw as an aid to the pilot's manage of the craft. They also have the same capacity as a helicopter to take off and land in a little area, hover, and move in all directions. Their major attraction is the ease of construction and the craft is simpler to fly than a helicopter. The disadvantage is most have to develop their tricopter as the only industrial units readily available are pricey.
The Quadcopter is the 4 motor variant of this group. It makes use of some of the construction techniques of the tricopter relaying on sensors to aid flight such as gyros, attitude sensors to aid keeping level flight. The use of four motors permit two to rotate clockwise and two counter-clockwise eliminating yaw issues encountered by the prior two crafts. Similarly, the quadcopter can take off and land in a little area, can hover, and can fly in all directions. The weight benefit of all these lifting crafts is marginal as each and every can lift an acceptable camera to do either still photography or video recording. All can be flown FPV as nicely. The quadcopter is the best flying drone you can use to take videos.
A Beginning Point
The most well known AP craft for FPV (1st Person View) is the Uncomplicated Star by Multiplex. This is typically referred to as a beginner aircraft due to it really is slow, stable flight but is also why a massive number of people select the Uncomplicated Star to carry their camera. One particular of the creative applications of FPV flying in the Uncomplicated Star comes from the Ready Made RCs web-site. At Ready Made RC you can get pan, tilt camera mounts enabling you to look side to side, up and down as you pilot your craft. You can even acquire a full Uncomplicated Star with all necessary equipment to attain the skies.

This recipe is from my Mom's friend, Vickie Jernigan. This is Vickie's "go-to" pecan pie. I usually use the recipe on the back of the Karo syrup bottle. I was really interested in Vickie's recipe because the filling is boiled before baking. I had to give it a try!
This pie was fantastic! Chicken Legs absolutely loved it. The filling is a little firmer than the Karo syrup recipe. It was much easier to cut and stayed together on the plate nicely. I added a dash of cinnamon to the filling. I thought it added a nice holiday flavor to the pie. This will be on our Thanksgiving menu. It should be on yours too!
(Printable Recipe)
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup (Karo)
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 stick butter
1 cup chopped pecans
3 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/8 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1 9-inch deep dish pie shell
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large saucepan, mix together flour, sugar and Karo syrup. Stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat.
Melt butter and whisk into eggs. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the boiled sugar mixture into the egg mixture. Whisk the egg mixture into the remaining filling. Stir in pecans, vanilla, cinnamon and heavy cream.
Pour into pie crust. Bake 30-40 minutes, until middle is firm. Allow to cool before serving.

The Volunteer Transportation Center Inc. is seeking Lewis County residents interested in serving, both as drivers and members of a new advisory board.
We could use drivers all over the place in Lewis County, said Judy A. Colton, Lewis County manager and transportation coordinator at the Watertown nonprofit agency.
The Transportation Center, incorporated in 1993, entered a contract in July 2011 with the Lewis County Department of Social Services to take Medicaid clients to appointments. It expanded its Lewis County efforts a little more than a year ago to include Office for the Aging transports, as well as medical appointments and monthly grocery trips for the general public.
Its steadily increasing, Mrs. Colton said, noting she is now getting about 20 calls a day after initially getting about five daily.
Since the county, in cooperation with Birnie Bus, has a public transportation system, many local trips are handled by that company, she said.
If its in the county, we try to work with Birnie, Mrs. Colton said.
However, Transportation Center drivers, who donate their time but are reimbursed for mileage, often handle longer transports to Watertown, Utica, Rome, Syracuse or even out of state, she said.
The agency has about 130 volunteer drivers, with 40 to 45 in Lewis County, but is always looking for more, Mrs. Colton said.
For more information, or to become a volunteer driver in either Lewis or Jefferson counties, call the agency at 788-0422 or 376-3777.
The Volunteer Transportation Center also is forming a Lewis County advisory board to help plan some type of fundraiser like the agencys annual North Country Chili Cook-Off at the Dulles State Office Building in Watertown in that county.
The agency last year received a $10,500 annual contract from the Lewis County Office for the Aging, $5,000 from the Pratt-Northam Foundation, $5,000 from the Northern New York Community Foundation and $5,000 from the United Way of Northern New York toward the Lewis expansions startup costs.
Clients are asked to provide donations, but they are not required to do so.
The annual Chili Cook-Off, set to be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 2, is the agencys primary fundraiser, bringing in about $40,000 last year to help offset program costs.
Now, Transportation Center officials would like to establish a Lewis County event to help cover ongoing costs associated with the expanded services in that county, Mrs. Colton said.
She said she has started contacting some county residents to gauge their interest in serving on the advisory committee.
However, anyone else interested is asked to contact her at the agencys 203 N. Hamilton St. office.

New clinical decision support tools help doctors decide whether or not a CT scan is necessary based on medical evidence.
Helping doctors make informed decisions about CT scans
Massachusetts General Hospital incorporated thousands of the guidelines into a program that requires doctors to enter information about a patient in the hospital's electronic medical records system before ordering a scan. If the need is questionable or another test might be more appropriate, doctors will get a yellow light. If a scan isn't recommended, it comes up red.

A number of dairy farms in St. Lawrence County are expanding because of a favorable milk market, low feed prices and a record high milk price, even though it may be short-lived.
I think everybodys making sure their barns are full. I know people are adding on cows, said Jon R. Greenwood, president of the county Farm Bureau. Its expected to be a very good year. You dont hear many complaints from farmers right now.
The market for milk is strong, particularly because of a boom in the popularity of Greek yogurt and because exports of dairy products have grown, farmers said.
Theres a demand and the prices have been better the last two years, Mr. Greenwood said. I know a lot of people received over $26 per hundredweight last month. Its a record price.
The outlook for at least the remainder of the year is good, said Robert G. Andrews, chairman of the county Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board and of the Soil & Water Conservation District.
We cannot produce enough milk to feed all the manufacturing plants in New York, he said. Its all economic growth.
The growth plans of some farmers are not tied directly to the milk price, which historically swings up and down, but are part of a long-term business plan.
Stauffer Farms in North Lawrence is extending a barn and adding on another 200 milkers.
The price of milk is good. We were making good money before. This probably would have happened anyway, said Benjamin L. Stauffer, a partner in the family business. We have the feed to do it. Its kind of shortsighted to say youre going to do it because the price is good right now, but theres definitely some expansion going on.
Mr. Stauffer said his family made sure to get on the building schedule early because the farms contractor said he expected to be busy all summer.
Mapleview Farm in Madrid is building a small addition to a barn that will increase its capacity 10 to 15 percent, said David M. Fisher, a partner in the family farm. The move will add about 300 cows to the operation because of available capacity in the milking parlor.
Its not really because of high-priced milk. Weve been building barns for years steady growth, Mr. Fisher said. We think we can be a little more efficient.
Adon Farms, Parishville, finished a barn last fall for dry cows and has no immediate plans to add milkers.
We needed more space, said Anthony J. Gilbert, a partner in the family farm. Were kind of maxed out.
The farm would have to expand its milking parlor to add more cows, he said.
But Mr. Gilbert said he has heard of many others planning to add cows.
The milk price definitely plays a part, he said. This is great and Im enjoying it, but were going to be in a period of gritting our teeth and wondering how its going to go.
Mr. Fisher agreed.
We live in fear of the price of milk crashing any time, he said.
Some new barn construction has little to do with the price of milk.
Steven J. Morrill said the 2,400-cow operation he runs with Gregory Coller, Hermon, is considering building a special-needs barn as a maternity ward and general hospital. We like the number of cows were at, Mr. Morrill said. If we add on, itll be to better the environment of the cow. There hasnt been a final decision yet.

MLS Regular Season
New Fire assistant coach Clint Mathis scored a few goals in his career, many of which were stunning.
There was this darting run in 2001 vs. Dallas that wound up winning MLS Goal of the Year.
There was also this one-time volley from 2004 while playing for Hannover 96 in Germany.
But if you got this far into this blog post and didn't already know what the favorite goal of Clint's career was, you haven't been a U.S. Soccer fan long enough. Of course you know what it is:
Daegu, South Korea.
June 10, 2002.
John O'Brien.
24th minute.
Deft touch with his right.
Beautiful finish with his left.
Jack Edwards: "That's why he's here!"
When I asked him this question which was very easily answered, Clint, with his Southern Charm, responded like he'd never been asked before saying, "The goal in 2002. That's one that my kids can tell their grandkids and it's one of those situations where I have some goals I remember playing in the league but it's different when you score in MLS vs. the World Cup.
"I think the significance behind that goal – it ended up being the one goal we needed to get out of the group because of the other results that happened on the final day to put us through – you just can't rate anything higher than that. You can't forget it."
Ahhh, just watch it again:
A third round pick in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft, Chicago Fire midfielder Logan Pause had already capped off a decade with the Men in Red last year before extending his deal to come back for a 12th season with the club in 2014 on Friday.
Logan's longevity got me thinking about players that held the longest consecutive tenures in terms of both years and games played ith one MLS club. After some research, I found that Fire legend and new assistant coach C.J. Brown holds the record for consecutive seasons with one team at 13, while Logan will tie Cobi Jones (LA Galaxy) and Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids) when he makes his first appearance for the Fire in 2014.
A look at the Top 10 players with the most consecutive seasons at one MLS club...

You may be wondering where are Jaime Moreno and Ramiro Corrales? Good question. Moreno holds the MLS record for most seasons with one club, spending 14 years with D.C. United but he did have one stint with the MetroStars that broke up his two long stints in the nation's capital.
In Corrales' case, while he never played for another MLS club other than San Jose after being traded back to the Quakes in 2001, he did spend a few years abroad in Norway with HamKam that keep him out of the consecutive seasons count. Corrales spent a total of 12 seasons in San Jose over three stints (1996-97, 2001-04, 2008-13)
Just for fun, a look at the record number for consecutive appearances for MLS club is below too:

If you're doing either, set aside seven spare minutes to watch all 58 goals scored by the Fire in 2013...
WATCH: 2013 Chicago Fire Goals
Mike Magee became the first Chicago Fire player since Wilman Conde in 2009 to grab an MLS Best XI selection on Tuesday. The Chicago native joined an exclusive club of 14 players that have earned the honor while with the Men in Red, adding up to 22 total selections (third highest in MLS) since 1998.
For the record, former Fire captain Chris Armas has the most Best XI selections with the club, earning five (1998-2001, 2003) during his 10-year career with the Men in Red.
See below the club's previous MLS Best XI selections:
Just eight days away from Major League Soccer's MVP announcement and Mike Magee has picked up another endorsement, this time coming from SBNation.com's merry band of soccer editors. SBNation.com is of course the parent organization of Chicago Fire-related blog, "Hot Time in Old Town".
Magee garnered 14 of the 25 available votes, doubling up on next closest candidate Robbie Keane.
The nod from SBNation.com is the latest in a series of endorsements featuring Landon Donovan (sort of), The Washington Post's Steven Goff and Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney. Let us not forget, Magee also collected Section 8 Chicago's 2013 Supporters Player of the Year Award on Saturday as well.
The MLS Best XI (which Magee is expected to be on) is set to be announced next Tuesday, December 3 while the MVP award will be doled out Thursday, December 5.
Magee would be the first player in the club's 16-year playing history to garner the league's highest individual honor.
Until then, watch the #MikeMageeMVP video one more time...
One of my favorite days of the year is the day the MLS schedule is released.
For many fans, this announcement means compiling a list of blackout days where the Fire are playing at Toyota Park. For Fire fans not residing in the Chicagoland area, it means finding out when the Men in Red will be visiting your nearest MLS team. But for someone like me who has been on quite a few road trips (over 50 but not as many as this guy), the schedule release day means not only looking at the home fixtures but also the away ones.
Questions I asked myself earlier today: Does Toronto away fall on weekend instead of a Wednesday night? How much does it cost to fly to Portland in March? These important questions get answered on this special day.
With that in mind, let's take a look at five exciting dates in the 2014 Fire calendar:
Week 2 – Portland away – Saturday, March 15
Ever since Portland came into the league in 2011, the Fire supporters umbrella, Section 8 Chicago, has had a very good relationship with the Timbers Army, Portland's main supporters group. The relationship is based on mutual respect and a shared "dislike" of all things Seattle.
Fire fans are always treated well in Portland and it's not uncommon for Fire and Timbers fans to hang out before and after the games, something you would never see Fire fans doing in Columbus or Kansas City.
The atmosphere at JELD-Wen Field is also second to none. Though is certainly isn't going to be the easiest away trip on the field or the lightest on the wallet, I think we will see quite a few Fire fans making the trip to Portland in Week 2 instead of traveling to LA to watch the Fire face Chivas in the season opener.
Week 6 & 22 – Montreal away – Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, August 16
The Fire were the Montreal Impact's opponents in the Canadian club's first home MLS back in 2012 and I was lucky enough to be at the game and had a great time.
That game was played indoors at the Olympic Stadium with a less than favorable playing surface – something many of the Fire fans observed firsthand the day before the game when we were invited to watch the team train (see photo above).
Now the Impact have Saputo Stadium refurbished, which provides another incentive for traveling Fire fans who may not have gotten there earlier this year.
Montreal is also a unique MLS city for a number of reasons. I can't think of another MLS city where fans can brush up on their French by talking to the locals or take in the spectacular Notre-Dame basilica while eating some amazing poutine!
Montreal can be quite cold in April, but luckily for Fire fans, the April date is only the first time the Men in Red visit The City of Saints. I hear the weather is a lot nicer in mid-August, when the Fire visit for the second time.
Week 11 – Columbus away – Saturday, May 24
Columbus or Fire House East as many Fire fans call it is the closest away trip of the season distance wise. Due to this fact, the number of Fire fans attending this match is exponentially bigger than most other away games.
In 2001, Fire fans went to Crew Stadium in their hundreds, even when the Fire was not playing! The Fire had been knocked out in the Conference Semifinals by the Los Angeles Galaxy and many fans turned up to cheer against LA (and for the then Frank Yallop-led San Jose Earthquakes) at MLS Cup.
There have been many highs experienced in Columbus, such as Paulo Wanchope's winning goal in a 2007 match after the game was delayed due to a torrential downpour. Fire fans were also 45 minutes away from MLS Cup in 2008 but for a Crew comeback in the second half which left Fire fans, including myself, devastated. There's also the 2012 invasion which saw 600 Fire supporters make the trek.
The Fire only play once at Fire House East this season and I expect to see a lot of red behind the goal on May 24.
Week 16 & 32 Kansas City away –Sunday, July 6 & Friday, October 10
Kansas City is another road trip that fans have attended in large numbers throughout the years. My first trip to Kansas City was a disappointing one, with the Fire losing to the Kansas City Wizards in the final of the U.S. Open Cup in 2004.
Since then, the Kansas franchise has a new name and a soccer specific stadium. You can no longer play the count the crowd game that we often did when the Wizards played at Arrowhead Stadium.
- DOWNLOAD: 2014 Home Regular Season Schedule (PDF)
Most fans travel to this game by bus thus skipping the "delights" of downtown Kansas City and the bus ride does offer one cool treat – a visit to the world's largest truck stop in Iowa.
Though SKC are not really a Fire rival (despite efforts made by the KC front office to make it into something bigger) there is certainly a dislike between the players and fans on both sides.
With the October 11 game coming so late in the season, it may be a pivotal one in terms of Playoff positioning.
Week 23 – Toronto away – Saturday, August 23
By far my favorite MLS city to travel to is Toronto. It's roughly the same distance from Chicago as Kansas City and again many fans travel to Canada on supporter's buses.
Each visit, Fire fans shack up at a great hostel where we run into soccer fans from all over the world. Toronto itself is a great city aside from the prohibitive drinking laws on weekends (who doesn't want to have a pint at 10am while watching the Premier League the next morning?).
BMO Field is located right on the shores of Lake Ontario and is thus left exposed and is often windy and chilly but the warm pies served at some of the concessions stands are an excellent halftime treat.
On the field, the Fire have had some good success against a TFC team that has languished near the bottom of the MLS table since starting in 2007. Thankfully, this match is on a Saturday in August so I expect a much larger contingent of Fire fans to attend.
Stephen Piggott is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @Irish_Steve.
It comes as little surprise, just a day after being named one of three finalists for the MLS Most Valuable Player award, gathered another important accolade Thursday as he was vote Section 8 Chicago's Supporters Player of the Year.
The award comes on the heels of Magee already taking the Club's Most Valuable Player and Golden Boot award just prior to the end of the 2013 regular season.
Mike will be on hand Saturday at A.J. Hudson's Public House (3801 N. Ashland) to receive his award and check for $1,500 to donate to the charity of his choice. The event begins at 6pm CT with the ceremony taking place at halftime of the MLS Eastern Conference Final Leg 2 between Sporting KC and Houston Dynamo.
See you there!
We're not far off from finding out the finalists for the 2013 MLS Most Valuable Player award and the case has more than been made for Mike Magee to take that honor.
Still, MLSsoccer.com's John Bolster recommends the Fire forward for another "not yet awarded" award, that being the league's Most Improved Player.
In this business when you swear you won't use your laptop for a day, often times you miss something. Such was the case for yours truly Friday as I took a much-needed day off following 10 months of non-stop career work...
So the story goes, I missed what seems to be a pretty clear, if not indirect endorsement of Mike Magee for MVP from a former teammate and probably the greatest American soccer player of all-time, Landon Donovan.
It came in an article from Scott French on MLSsoccer.com where the veteran So-Cal writer spoke with Robbie Rogers about the trade that saw his rights traded to LA in exchange for Magee to come to Chicago.
While the article centered mainly on Rogers adjustment to LA, Donovan, who is teammates with another potential MLS MVP candidate in Robbie Keane, had this to say of his Magee's exploits this season in Chicago:
"Would we like Mike Magee here? Yes," he said. "I think any team wants the MVP of the league on their team, so, yeah, we would like Mike here. But the reality is Mike's not here, and we're all happy for Mike, and there's no guarantee those things [Magee achieved in Chicago] would have happened had Mike stayed here."
If you know Magee, he'd traded the chance to still be playing for any individual accolade but it does seem we should add Landon to the list of MLSsoccer.com editors, Washington Post reporter Steven Goff and Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney on #MikeMageeMVP endorsements.

Every season there's a piece that drives fashion fanatics into a shopping frenzy. Right now, the must-have item is Balenciaga's terribly chic take on the schoolboy blazer. Nicolas Ghesquiere showed the snug, structured jacket with elaborate ethnic scarves, old-school jodhpurs, and platform sandal boots for fall's most exciting look. As such, the availability of the various Balenciaga blazers is slim to none, not to mention the significant price tag (they run from $2500 to $5500) makes them out of reach for most as well. Distress not, dear readers, as we have located a few alternatives that are equally as inspiring as the original.
J. Crew-that bastion of classic apparel-has a slightly preppy, perfectly constructed version, the Double-Faced Wool Lexington Jacket. We're showing the black blazer with contrasting white piping here, but the company also made two other options: Light gray with white trim and ivory with camel trim. ($250, jcrew.com)
If you'd like a pinstriped print instead of a solid, we'd like to direct you to the Lux Exeter Blazer, exclusive to Urban Outfitters. The exceptionally soft wool jacket hits at the waist and has a somewhat roomy cut, so go down a size if you desire a shrunken fit. It's available in the purple/black shown above, as well as gray/black. Lightweight yet oddly warm, this piece is particularly suitable for those in warmer climates. ($68, urbanoutfitters.com)
Finally, we pulled the Mirage Tuxedo Blazer from 3.1 Phillip Lim for an elegant variation of the look. Lim showed his cream wool jacket with black tipping at the same time the Balenciaga blazer came stomping down runways-apparently the designers were on the same page! We think it has a similar (albeit posh) spirit to the quirky coolness of today's subject. ($630, net-a-porter.com)
