She was expected to be born a week ago, but Kassidy E. Lyons didnt start making her way out of her mothers womb until noon on Christmas Eve. She seemed to be stubbornly waiting to make her entrance into the world on Christmas Day.
And thats exactly what the 7-pound, 14-ounce baby did at 6:18 a.m. Tuesday in Samaritan Medical Center after putting up a vigorous 18-hour fight that wore out her mother, Elizabeth M. Lyons. Her daughter already has started exhibiting the qualities of a perfectionist who makes sure she gets what she wants, said the new 25-year-old mother, whose husband, Joseph A., is stationed at Fort Drum.
She definitely wanted to make her appearance on Christmas, she said, smiling. Kassidy who wailed and cried loudly after being born was sleeping soundly in her fathers arms during the evening. She wore stylish pink booties resembling retro Converse All Star sneakers. Because her birthday fell on Christmas Day, the couple decided Kassidy deserves the privilege of celebrating her half-birthday, too, on June 25.
I originally said I didnt want a Christmas baby because she wouldnt have a party, but it was destiny, Mrs. Lyons said. Everybody keeps telling us we have to throw her a half-birthday party, and were for it.
The couple moved to Watertown this summer from Lawton, Okla., where Mr. Lyons, 27, was stationed at Fort Sill for more than two years before deciding to transfer here, which is much closer to their families. They grew up together in the town of Oppenheim, at the southern tip of the Adirondack Park. They met while attending Oppenheim-Ephratah Central School, where he was best friends with her brother. But they didnt start dating until January 2011, when Mr. Lyons was home from Oklahoma on leave. He proposed shortly thereafter in March 2011, when she visited him at the post, and they were married the following July.
Mrs. Lyons, who made the move from Oklahoma to the north country while five months pregnant, said she never could have fathomed her future would catapult as it has in the past two years. But as she looks at her Christmas baby resting in her husbands arms, it seems like she finally has her feet planted on solid ground again. She feels peace.
Everything was kind of a whirlwind for us, but its been exciting, she said. It took a while for us to get the ball rolling, but once it did, it rolled fast.
The couple hasnt planned an official Christmas-baby celebration yet. But theyll bring Kassidy, the only baby born on Christmas Day in the north country, along to a large family gathering in their hometown on New Years Day, where shell be the center of attention. Shes going to be the center of attention, they now realize, for many years to come.
Shes definitely stubborn, Mrs. Lyons said with a laugh. Every time we did an ultrasound, she would cross her arms over her face so we couldnt see her.
But maybe thats just a natural way for Christmas babies to behave.
I think shes going to be little Miss Perfectionist, she said. Shell be the center of attention.
Kassidy was the only baby reported born on Christmas in Jefferson, St. Lawrence or Lewis counties.

The SURGE 16" Ride Cymbal is the world's first ride cymbal with built-in electronic triggering. Playing on the face, edge or bell; with the tip, crashing, shanking or shouldering the ride all feels the way you'd expect a cymbal to feel. Two triggering zones allow different sounds to be triggered when playing the bell and face.
Made from genuine cymbal brass-alloy, SURGE Cymbals have centuries of cymbal craftsmanship in their DNA, cross-bred with Alesis' decades of experience in electronic triggering technology.
SURGE Cymbals are the world's most realistic-looking, accurately responding, and most importantly, natural-feeling cymbal triggers in the world. Not pads in any way, SURGE Cymbals are true brass cymbals at their core with exclusive clear sound dampening to cut the cymbals' acoustic sound.
SURGE Cymbals employ industry-standard piezo triggers, so they are easy to use with any existing electronic drumset, replacing those uninspiring hard black cymbal pads. Because they are cymbals, they mount on any cymbal stand so they are easy to integrate into both electronic and acoustic drum setups using any sound module or trigger-to-MIDI converter.
SURGE Cymbals are the only cymbals that integrate built-in electronic triggers with a custom brass alloy. They are the only choice for drummers who are serious about feel.
Also available: SURGE 12" Hi-Hat, SURGE 13" Crashes with and without choke capability and SURGE 16" dual-zone Ride with choke capability
*Manufactured under license from U.S. patent 7,323,632. Other patents pending.
- Genuine lathed, brass-alloy cymbal
- Unique, patented design for maximum performance and acoustical sound reduction
- Built-in two-zone piezo triggering for industry-wide compatibility
- Incomparably realistic cymbal feel
- Traditional cymbal design
- True cymbal appearance
- Mountable on standard cymbal stands
- Includes cable for connection to module
- Compatible with most drum modules. See compatibility guide for details.
- Outputs: 1 TRS, 1/4 (9 cable included)
- Zones: ride and bell
- Choke Trigger: plastic membrane on underside of cymbal
Which modules can I use with SURGE Cymbals?SURGE Cymbals are compatible with many drum modules including those manufactured by Roland, Yamaha, Ddrum, and, of course, Alesis. Refer to the Compatibility Guide under the Docs & Downloads tab of the SURGE Cymbals product page.
Can I use SURGE Cymbals to trigger other sounds?Yes. SURGE Cymbals can trigger sounds on any MIDI instrument using a Trigger to MIDI interface (such as the Alesis Trigger|iO module). Refer to your modules or instruments documentation.
How do I mount the SURGE Cymbals?SURGE Cymbals are designed to be mounted on any standard cymbal stand or mounting arm.
Note: When using a SURGE Ride Cymbal, you can NOT use a cymbal sleeve (an optional plastic sleeve around the mounting rod to prevent the cymbal from rubbing against it). The SURGE Ride Cymbal already has a built-in sleeve. Be sure to use felt washers when mounting it, though.
Note: The SURGE Hi-Hat Cymbal is designed to be mounted on a fixed hi-hat arm stand not a standard hi-hat stand with a pedal and clutch. These are manufactured by most drum hardware companies and are available from your favorite drum shop.
How do I open and close the SURGE Hi-Hat, since it is only one cymbal?The SURGE Hi-Hat cymbal is only the trigger. The foot controller is actually responsible for the difference between open and closed hi-hat sounds. We recommend the Alesis DM5 Pro Kit Expansion Hi-Hat Pedal. You can also use the Roland FD-7 or FD-8.
How do I set up my module for use with SURGE Cymbals?Refer to the Compatibility Guide under the Docs & Downloads tab of the SURGE Cymbals product page. You should also consult your modules manual.
How do I use SURGE Cymbals dual-zone or triple-zone triggering?Not all SURGE Cymbals feature dual-zone triggering. The only ones that have dual-zone capability are:
1) SURGE 13 Crash (only with certain modules)
2) SURGE 13 Crash with Choke
3) SURGE 16 Ride
4) SURGE 16 Ride with Choke
To use SURGE Cymbals as dual-zone triggers, you will have to set them up properly. This will involve using either a Y-cable or two standard TS cables, depending on whether the cymbals trigger housing has one or two jacks.
With certain modules, the SURGE 16 Ride with Choke is triple-zone compatible.
Please refer to the Compatibility Guide under the Docs & Downloads tab of the SURGE Cymbals product page.
How should I transport SURGE Cymbals?You should transport your cymbals in protected and padded cases. The use of hard, plastic cymbal-safe cases isnt recommended, though, because you can not fasten more than a few SURGE Cymbals in the case before you run out of room (due to the trigger housing on the cymbals undersides).
How should I clean SURGE Cymbals?Use a damp wet cloth or a non-abrasive cymbal cleaner or cymbal polish on the top surface of the cymbal only.
DO NOT USE CYMBAL CLEANER ON THE BOTTOM SURFACE. Instead, dampen a cloth with water to clean the surface or, in extreme cases, use a specialty plastics cleaner (such as the kind used for cleaning the glass on a boat.
My drum module isnt listed on your Compatibility Guide on the Docs & Downloads page. Can I request it?If your module isnt listed and youd like to report the settings that work best for you, e-mail us at email@example.com and well try to include it in the next version of the manual.

Registered Republicans and Conservatives voting in the Sept. 10 primary in the town of Champion may have been left a bit confused regarding where to cast their ballots.
The Jefferson County Board of Elections mailed approximately 650 letters dated Aug. 22 to town residents noting that the towns three polling sites Champion Fire Department for voters in District 1; West Carthage Fire Department for voters in District No. 2, and Carthage Central School District offices for District 3 had been consolidated into one at the Champion Fire Department.
According to representatives from the Board of Elections, the measure was to be taken as a way to reduce the cost of operating polling sites, as primaries tend to have lower voter turnout than general elections. However, as of Wednesday, the board reversed its decision because of the interest in this particular race. Residents should expect a letter in the coming days regarding the decision.
Polling sites will be open from noon to 9 p.m. on primary day.

BAR HARBOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The College of the Atlantic (COA) will always remember it's co-founder, Father James Gower, as a smart, caring man with a big sense of humor.
Father Jim, as he was commonly referred to, died early Monday morning at 90-years-old. The Bar Harbor native co-founded COA in 1968 after discussing with his friend, Les Brewer, how he wanted to do something for the community. As the legend goes Brewer mentioned how several residents wanted a college in their area and with that brief conversation, College of the Atlantic was born.
The first classes at the college started in September 1972. According to COA President Darron Collins, Gower was a moral and inspirational beacon for the college. "You rarely get the combination of compassion and brilliance really nicely put together in one individual, but with Father Jim you really got that," says Collins.
Even later on in his life, Gower made sure to have an active role within the college. He celebrated his 75th birthday climbing Mount Katahdin with incoming students. Professor of Ecology Natural History, John Anderson, worked with Gower for a quarter of a century. "He was a really marvelous man in terms of reading peoples emotions and then working with us to find the bright side of things," says Anderson of his long time friend.
A celebration of Father Gower's life is being planned for Friday, June 28 at 11 a.m. at the Holy Redeemer Church, with a reception following at The College of the Atlantic. The Gower family has set up The Father James Gower Scholarship Fund at COA. Contributions can be sent to: Father Gower Scholarship Fund, COA Development Office, 105 Eden St. Bar Harbor, ME 04609.

|Delicious Pureed Cauliflower that's a healthy dish with no desired to act like potatoes!
Pureed (or Mashed) Cauliflower with Garlic, Parmesan, and Goat Cheese
(Makes 4-6 servings, depending on the size of your cauliflower; recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from South Beach Diet Cauliflower "Mashed Potatoes".)
1 large head cauliflower, cut into small same-size flowerets
1 tsp. minced garlic or 2-3 garlic cloves
1 T half and half or cream (if needed)
2-3 T grated Parmesan cheese (depending on size of cauliflower)
2-3 T goat cheese (depending on size of cauliflower)
salt/pepper to taste
Put cauliflower back into the pan you cooked it in and turn heat on very low. Add Parmesan, goat cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly so it does not stick to the bottom. Serve hot, with a little freshly grated Parmesan on top if desired.
South Beach Suggestions:
This would be a good side dish for any phase of The South Beach Diet. It does have two types of cheese, so I'd serve it with something that's low in fat.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

Becoming self employed is an option if you are an entrepreneur, have a great business idea, are struggling to get a job elsewhere - or just want to work for yourself
There are many reasons why you might wish to set up your own business. One of the primary factors could be that you want to have more control over the way you work, your working environment and your hours. Other reasons could be that you have identified a particular gap in the market or you may wish to supplement your existing income.
Setting up and running your own business can be a very exciting prospect, but it is also time-consuming and challenging. Before you decide to set up your own business, you will need to carefully consider whether becoming self-employed will suit your personality and abilities, as well as fit in with your lifestyle.
If you think you may need help with becoming self-employed, there is a list of many useful organisations and much more information about self-employment, in our 'Self-employment' factsheet:

Success can come at a hefty price. In the Rhode Island Interscholastic League, this double-edged sword is sharpened every few years or so when the time comes to realign the divisions.
Caught in the crosshairs are non-Division I teams that have achieved and sustained success over a designated period of time. Add a dash of enrollment and presto, what appears is a surefire recipe for relocation to a higher division.
"When teams win over two or three years and you have these realignments, the reality is that someone is going to move up because of winning records, enrollment and things like that," points out Frank Geiselman, athletic director at Cumberland High.
Geiselman was speaking about his varsity football program. Barring any last-minute adjustments, the Clippers will be joining the Division I ranks for the next two-year realignment stretch. It's not by choice that a brave new world awaits Cumberland this autumn. It's simply the result of head coach Chris Skurka's crew meeting the criteria for participation in the state's top tier.
A list ranking all 43 pigskin participants was sent out to athletic directors last month after the 70/20/10 calculation was taken for a spin through the washer. The number 70 represents the eight-year weighted win percentage that takes into account league data beginning with the 2006 season through 2013.
The 20 percent of the derivative is determined by the male enrollment total that was submitted to the Interscholastic League on Oct. 1, 2013. The remaining 10 percent takes into account win percentage based on the last three seasons.
Once the arithmetic checks out – the 70/20/10 formula for realignment purposes was officially adopted at last August's Principals' Committee on Athletics meeting – teams are then slotted. Cumberland was sixth in the rankings with Thanksgiving rival Woonsocket finishing eighth.
Geiselman wished to view Cumberland moving up in weight class not in the sense that the program is a victim of its own recent success. The Clippers have reached the Division II Super Bowl in each of the past two seasons, winning it all in 2012.
"This is how you build programs. You get a fan base and the school rallies around it. There's pride," said the Cumberland AD. "Chris has a nice program going with the kids."
There is, however, a dark side to moving up against a school's desire to remain status quo. Putting it mildly, Tolman High struggled to hang with the Division I "big boys" during the past two seasons, winning three of a possible 16 league games.
Fortunately for head coach Dave Caito, his assistants and returning players, the Tigers' recent troubles on the gridiron have paved the way for a return to their Division II roots. Tolman finished 15th in the rankings, three spots behind St. Raphael.
"At this point, we can't compete in Division I. We don't have the bodies or the size," said Tolman athletic director John Scanlon. "These last couple of years did a number on our program, but Dave will do a good job of getting them back in the mix."
Rest assured that Geiselman has thought about Cumberland moving to Division I and not only enduring tough times, but also what the fallout may entail.
"Once you've had that success and get that penalty, you could end up with a 2-6 season or something like that and people are saying 'Whose fault is it?'" said Geiselman. "I've seen it so many times in so many different sports where you have a run of success for two, three or four years and all of a sudden you're off a cliff. But if you're aligning every couple of years, it maybe levels the playing field."
Generally, Division I houses nine teams. Eight teams have already expressed a desire to compete in Division I during the next two-year realignment cycle, the list including four-time Super Bowl champion Bishop Hendricken, La Salle, Cranston East, Portsmouth, Barrington, East Providence, South Kingstown and Cranston West. Cumberland would be the ninth entry.
South Kingstown finished 10th in the rankings while Cranston West checked in at 13th. The request on the part of both schools enabled Woonsocket and West Warwick to remain in Division II. Winners of the 2013 Division II title, the Wizards landed in the ninth position, known as the cutoff spot for Division I inclusion.
Mind you realignment for this particular sport as well as other fall sports must be presented to the PCOA for final approval; the group's next conclave is scheduled for Jan. 27.
Before passing the baton to the Principals' Committee, the football committee will convene next Thursday with the goal of addressing any lingering concerns and/or proposals that could become enacted.
"There's some interest in having a 14 to 16 teams in Division I, but that's the only thing that would be on the table," said George Nasuti, the Woonsocket AD who's also on the football committee.
After the Jan. 9 meeting, the football committee will send out a survey that asks whether teams agree with their position based on the rankings. One such request to move up could come from Lincoln High, which based on the rankings would be one of the eight Division IV teams. The Lions have been a Division III mainstay since the 2009 season. The only way to accommodate Lincoln would be if a team petitions to move down.
One non-realignment issue that will be discussed by the football committee next week has to do with the idea of all four divisions staging the semifinals the weekend before Thanksgiving as opposed to the Tuesday following the holiday.
Division II held its semifinals before Thanksgiving this past season with the decision to do so earning rave reviews.
If such a decision comes to fruition, it would spell the end of league games such as East Providence-La Salle, Cranston East-Cranston West, Burrillville-Ponaganset, North Providence-Smithfield and North Smithfield-Scituate taking place on Thanksgiving. All of those teams would have to find time to meet during the regular season in addition to facing off on the holiday.

W. Pa. man charged in death of girlfriend's son
AMBRIDGE – A Western Pennsylvania man has been arrested and charged in the death of his girlfriend's young son last October.
The Beaver County Times reports that 25-year-old Timothy Wasyl Kay of Ambridge was arrested Thursday and charged with criminal homicide, a felony.
Police say that Kay claimed the boy had jumped off a bedroom dresser and hit his head, but doctors reported the injuries were more consistent with an assault. The boy died a few days later at a Pittsburgh hospital.
Kay is being held without bail in the Beaver County jail.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 8. No attorney was listed on court papers.

It was four days before the grand opening of the Price Chopper in Alexandria Bay, and the store was a flurry of activity.
Signs were going up, training sessions were being conducted and there were even fresh batches of cookies coming out of the bakery. The shelves had been stocked and everything seemed to be on track for the ribbon-cutting ceremony Sunday.
But one important detail remained.
At 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Keith A. Frantz and James A. Richmire, the director and assistant director of the Jefferson County Bureau of Weights and Measures, waded into the melee armed with a shopping cart full of toolboxes, clipboards and laptop computers.
"Oh, yeah, we live and die by shopping carts," Mr. Frantz said, laughing.
Their mission: to check the store's scales, both commercial and customer; to check the pricing accuracy of the store's scanners, and to check the packaging of food items.
And the store can't open until after they complete their mission.
As they moved through their routine, Mr. Frantz joked to store Manager Todd E. Thompson, whom he has known for many years, that he had better learn French since the store, which is at the base of the Thousand Islands Bridge, is likely to be a hot destination for Canadian visitors from Ontario.
Mr. Thompson gamely replied, "Est-ce la viande ou de la soupe?"
Translation: "Is this meat or soup?" — a phrase Mr. Thompson apparently learned studying the language in high school, and a fitting phrase for a man who has spent the better part of 30 years managing various grocery stores and supermarkets in the area.
Mr. Thompson was visibly excited about the store's opening and proud of the new layout.
"Alex Bay deserves a store like this, you know," he said.
There are many scales behind the gleaming new countertops of the deli, butcher, seafood and bakery departments and in the misty mountains of the produce section.
Working in tandem, Mr. Frantz and Mr. Richmire tested the accuracy of the scales by placing quarter-pound, half-pound, 1-pound and 5-pound weights on them until they reached capacity, which is usually 30 pounds, then checking each quadrant of the scales to make sure that all sides were equal.
After they completed the tests, they sealed the device with a leaden wire and a stamp individualized with a "J" for Jefferson County and a number unique to each device.
After finishing with the scales, Mr. Frantz and Mr. Richmire moved through the store's aisles, picking out 100 items at random and scanning them to make sure the pricing was accurate.
Mikael R. Pelkey, pricing accuracy coordinator at the store, anxiously awaited the results of the test.
"Scanning accuracy in any facility is a very important job. Mike takes his job very seriously," Mr. Frantz said.
Then it was on to the packaging, which is measured to ensure that its labeling is accurate and that customers aren't being under- or overcharged. Customers are not supposed to pay for the weight of the packaging material itself.
Most residents of Jefferson County might be surprised to learn that the Bureau of Weights and Measures plays such an integral role in the opening of a grocery store, but it's just one aspect of a job that touches virtually every area of county government and business.
Every piece of meat or produce that you buy, every gallon of milk you drink, every gallon of gas you pump — all of it bears the implied stamp of approval of the bureau.
"We're into a lot of areas that people wouldn't think we'd be involved in," Mr. Frantz said earlier this month during a rare moment of rest in the bureau's office in a forgotten corner of the Jefferson County Highway Department complex.
From that quiet nook, Mr. Frantz and Mr. Richmire deploy to stores, warehouses, gas stations, marinas and manufacturing plants to test and verify the accuracy and proper use of everything from computers to prescription and vehicle sales.
The bureau also does commodity inspections, petroleum sampling, milk tank calibration, price verification and noncommercial device testing.
"We try to get to everything once a year," Mr. Frantz said.
They also respond to consumer complaints and maintain soft- and hard-copy records of all commercial weighing and measuring devices and inspection reports.
While some of the tools they use, such as the scanning gun at the supermarket, are technologically advanced, most of their methods are old school.
To test the accuracy of a high-flow diesel pump, for instance, Mr. Frantz uses what's called a 50-gallon "prover."
On a chilly morning in early April, Mr. Frantz used the prover to test the diesel pumps at a Nice N Easy gas station on Route 11.
Pumping the fuel into the prover at a rate of 35 to 40 gallons per minute, Mr. Frantz discovered that the pump's calibration was 20 cubic inches over tolerance and the pump was giving out slightly less fuel than it said it was.
As he let the fuel drain back into the station's underground fuel tanks, Mr. Frantz explained that while the difference sometimes may seem like small potatoes, you have to look at the cumulative effect.
On that day, diesel fuel was $4.239 per gallon. At 50 gallons, you would pay $211.95.
And 20 cubic inches is worth about 36 cents; an inaccurate pump can rob you of that money.
"It's a lot of money, cumulatively," Mr. Frantz said. "That's how we have to look at things."
Since the difference was just slightly over tolerance, Mr. Frantz fixed the calibration of the scale and resealed it with his leaden wire and stamp. He then remeasured the calibration twice more before moving on to his next job. All told, the process took about an hour — a little longer than the half-hour per pump that he averages.
Mr. Frantz said that he doesn't think there is much intentional cheating in the area and that most inaccuracies are simply a result of human error.
Still, if problems are identified and not corrected within a certain amount of time, the bureau has the power to levy fines, which can be hefty.
On the first offense, the state authorizes a fine of up to $600 for a seal that has been broken or tampered with. On the second offense, a fine of up to $1,200 is authorized.
It's all part of ensuring "equity in the marketplace," which is the bureau's objective, according to its website.
"Businesses — we're here for them as much as we are the consumer. We want all the businesses to thrive and everybody to get a fair shake," Mr. Frantz said.
He has been with the bureau for 23 years and took over as director in 2004. It's a job he says he enjoys.
"Sometimes, when you're at a gas pump or a supermarket, and someone comes over and asks, 'What are you doing?' and I'll tell them and they'll always say, 'I always wondered whether somebody did that.' It makes you feel kind of good that somebody's out there looking out for them," Mr. Frantz said. "What I've liked about this job over the years is that you're not always in the same place. When the weather's nice I get to be outside. I meet a lot of different people, most of them pretty good."
But, with all his experience, Mr. Frantz said, he still can't explain why hot dogs are sold in packages of eight while hot dog buns are sold in packages of 12 — a question that has mystified countless consumers, including George Banks, played by Steve Martin in the 1991 film "Father of the Bride."

As if factory farming does not already have many consumers concerned over the foods they eat, the recent egg recall is another stark reality into the price we pay when we put our faith in large, industrial-scale farms and feedlots. Foods produced and/or raised on many industrial-scale farms are exposed to chemical fertilizers, synthetic pesticides or extremely unhealthy conditions, as we're finding out from the egg recall.
According to Bloomberg Businessweek's August 30, 2010 story 'FDA Finds Rodents, Manure Piles at Farms in Egg Recall,' violations at two Iowa farms included the presence of manure pits, rodents and dead flies, as well as other disturbing observances. The story also notes that at least 550 million eggs have been recalled so far. It's beyond awful and enough to prompt more and more people to consider local farmers markets and/or grow their own, for the mere fact that they can get to know their local farmers and their farm practices and have more control over knowing how the foods they eat are being produced, cared for and handled. If you're concerned or wondering if your eggs are safe, here is a list of what numbered designations are included in the egg recall from the Food and Drug Administration.
Salmonella germs, named after an American veterinarian named Daniel E. Salmon (1850-1914), are microscopic living creatures that are transmitted from the feces of animals or people to other animals or people. In humans, Salmonella are generally transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Contaminated foods can include beef, eggs, milk, poultry and vegetables. Vegetables can be contaminated with Salmonella because many vegetables are fertilized with animal manure. If the manure is contaminated with Salmonella it can spread to vegetables.
Abdominal cramps, diarrhea and fever are symptoms of Salmonella and can develop 12 to 72 hours after infection. Salmonella generally lasts 4 to 7 days. Click here to learn more information about Salmonella from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Without a marking my best opinion on it would be it's Czechoslovakian glass. A lot of glass in the style of Lalique depicted women in the Art Deco style came out of Czechoslovakia between World Wars One and Two. A lot of it was only marked with paper or foil labels, short of coming across a matching piece with a label still on it pieces like this are very hard to identify.

ALLEGAN, Mich. (WZZM) -- Investigators say two men who escaped from a Michigan correctional facility have been captured -- with their girlfriends -- at a Colorado motel.
Deputy U.S. Marshals say Gregory Bradshaw and Kenneth Grauman were caught at a motel in Canon City, Colorado, Thursday. The men's girlfriends, Laura Grauman and Brittany Rector, were also taken into custody.
WZZM 13 talked to Steve Hetherington of the U.S. Marshals Service Headquarters on Thursday evening. Hetherington says deputy marshals and Michigan authorities developed information the two couples were likely in Colorado because one of the fugitives had ties to the area of Canon City.
U.S. Marshals focused on the area by going to every motel in Canon City with photos of the two men and two women. Someone was able to recognize the fugitives and their girlfriends at the Budget Host Inn. The men and women were taken into custody without incident.
Canon City Police say the fugitives had a meth lab in their room, along with cash, guns and other weapons. Officers evacuated the motel and are awaiting state authorities to remove the meth lab.
Hetherington also said that in addition to facing charges in Lake County and Allegan County, the men also face charges in Canon City due to things found in their hotel room at the Budget Host Inn.
Grauman and Bradshaw escaped from a parolee reentry program in Lake County on September 29. They were believed to have hidden in Dorr Township in the days that followed their escape.

Police say the men stole a car last week from an Allegan County resident and drove to Kokomo, Indiana, where they and their girlfriends were recorded on a supermarket surveillance video. Investigators say the men stole a truck and weapons in the Kokomo area. Hetherington told WZZM 13 that sometime between Kokomo, Indiana and Canon City, Colorado, the two men and two women stole a car in Iowa and swapped out license plates.

There are many words to express what the Trib's Sports Section did today...
To the people of Boston and our friends at the New England Revolution, we're with you.
As they do every week, MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Matt Doyle give their view on Sunday's clash between the Fire and Dynamo...
Maicon Santos' two-goal substitute performance had me thinking this week, how often have Fire players come off the bench to tally a brace?
The Answer: It's a very rare thing… Santos' effort on Sunday was just the fifth time (or .008%) in the club's 573 all-time competitive matches that a player has scored two goals off the bench. It was just the third time in MLS league play and first since 2006.
The others...
Orr Barouch - Chicago Fire 4, New York Red Bulls 0 - U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal (7/12/2011)
In a memorable match that was moved up to 5pm because of a massive power outage at Toyota Park, Barouch came on at halftime for Cristian Nazarit with the Fire already leading 2-0. It took the Israeli youth international just five minutes to make it 3-0 before closing the scoring off a feed from Diego Chaves in the 69th minute (WATCH).
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Barouch led the side with three goals in Open Cup play on the way to the tournament final that year.
Chad Barrett – Chicago Fire 2, Real Salt Lake 1 – MLS Regular Season (6/28/2006)
Throughout much of his first two seasons with the Men in Red, Chad Barrett was an oft-used second half attacking sub. In this match, he repaid Dave Sarachan's faith in him, entering for captain Chris Armas in the 68th minute before heading home the equalizer off a cross from Justin Mapp in the 80th minute (WATCH).
Five minutes later, Mapp would slot Barrett through the RSL backline before the second-year striker put slid his effort past Scott Garlick and in off the post for the winner (WATCH).
The effort was the first of two braces for Barrett during his time with the Men in Red, the other coming in a 5-1 victory at Red Bull on May 25, 2008.
Dipsy Selolwane – Chicago Fire 4, San Juan Jabloteh 0 – CONCACAF Champions Cup (3/17/2004)
With the team coming off a somewhat shocking 5-2 first leg defeat away to the Trinidadian side, the Men in Red returned to Soldier Field needing four goals in the second leg in order to advance.
Though Damani Ralph took the aggregate score to 5-3 just before halftime, Selolwane entered for current Fire captain Logan Pause to provide more offense after the break. The Botswanan international's long-range effort in the 51st minute brought the Fire to within a goal before his empty net finish 11 minutes later brought the score level.
Selolwane proved to be Man of the Match when he set up Chris Armas' 90th minute series winner to push the Fire past Jabloteh 6-5 on aggregate and into the Champions Cup semifinals.
Interestingly, that performance was the only brace of Selolwane's Fire career, though he did come up with back-to-back game-winners in the team's run to the U.S. Open Cup final that season.
Hristo Stoitchkov – Chicago Fire 7, Kansas City Wizards 0 – MLS Regular Season (7/4/2001)
Of course the Mad Bulgarian was the first to do this with the Fire and of course it came in the Fourth of July Massacre.
With the team already leading 4-0, there was little need for Stoitchkov to come on in the 78th. One minute after entering the match, Piotr Nowak scored his second to take the game to 5-0 and then Stoitchkov proceeded to drive the dagger in tallying in the 83rd and 88th minutes to exact revenge for the Fire's MLS Cup loss to Kansas City the year before (WATCH).
Like Barrett, Stoitchkov tallied two braces while with the Men in Red. The first came in his debut appearance, a 4-2 Opening Day loss to the Dallas Burn on March 18, 2000.
Following Sunday's 3-1 win over New York the two club's reserve sides also played. With a lot of injuries, the Fire were forced to field five Academy and one guest player in what we'll call a character-building 6-1 defeat...
I'll be honest, there wasn't much pretty about the game but Fire rookie midfielder Yazid Atouba did reward the fans that stuck around with the beautiful strike. Que Golazo!
Its fun to win. Even better is looking back on all the tweets surrounding a win...
Didn't have the time? We did it for you! Some of the top tweets surrounding Sunday's 3-1 comeback over New York below...

Maicon Santos' 83rd minute goal on Sunday was big for more than one reason. Yes it was the game-winner. Yes it got the 899 minute scoreless monkey off his back but it also stands as the 700th regular season goal in Chicago Fire history.
See below the list of other Fire centurions... Ironically enough, three of the club's seven centurion goals came against New York...

Now, what could be better? Maicon's 83rd minute winner is also up for MLS Goal of the Week. VOTE HERE or Text G5 to 22442!
...current Fire captain Logan Pause scored his first career MLS goal in a 1-0 home opening victory over New England at Toyota Park.
The now 11-year Fire veteran's first strike came in his 97th career MLS match as he headed home a beautiful cross from Justin Mapp on the right (see 39 seconds into first video below).
With only three goals in 259 MLS appearances, Pause has never been known for his offensive prowess BUT all three of his goals have been somewhat memorable...
The second strike of his career, a long distance bomb in a 4-1 loss to Toronto FC in May 2010, ended up winning that season's Fire Goal of the Year while Pause backed his way into a tying goal by redirecting Pavel Pardo's free kick in last April's weather-shortened 1-1 draw with Houston.
Watch all three goals below...

Antibody titers after tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) vaccination are less in elderly and vaccination breakthroughs are more common in this age group. This has prompted Swedish authorities to recommend an additional dose in the initial vaccination schedule (= 0+30+90 days instead of the usually recommended 0+30 days. The investigators intend to evaluate this regime.

Biological: FSME-immune
0.5 ml im as scheduled in the 4 arms
Detailed Description:
The risk for TBE increases in Sweden. Together with an increased awareness of the possibility to acquire protection by vaccination, this has led to an increase in the number of doses of the vaccine distributed in Sweden each year -now being approximately 400.000. The first year, two doses with an interval of 1 month is recommended for the general population, followed by a third dose approximately one year later and an additional booster dose three years after the third.
Recent studies show that the antibody titers against TBE are substantially less in an older population. This is in line with the present recommendation from Austria that booster intervals should be shortened to 3 years in the age group 60+. It is also in line with a report of vaccination failures where 13/27 patients were older than 60 years According to a study by Jilkowa et al, 18 % (38/185) in the age group 60+ did not achieve putative levels of antibody titers after the first two doses. Therefore, the manufacturer of Encepur recommends a total of three doses to this age group using the same regimen as with "accelerated vaccination schedule (0+7+21 days). Unfortunately, GMT (geometrical mean of titers) after 3 doses with the accelerated schedule are not superior to 2 doses given at 0+30 days.
The manufacturer of FSME-immun instead recommends that serology should be checked one month after the second dose and that a third dose should be given if titers are not sufficient (0+30+60 days). Unfortunately, determinations of titers in a large number of samples put severe strain on logistics and is not feasible in Sweden.
In order to try to improve immunity in the age group 60+ , the Department of Communicable Disease Control and Prevention in Stockholm therefore recommends a third dose two months after the first two doses to the age group 60+ (0+30+60 days).
Study design. The investigators intend to give FSME-immune to 3 groups with varying vaccination schedules ( 0+7+21, 0+30 or 0+30+90. 50 participants will be randomized to each group. Half of them will be between 50-59 years and half will be at least 60 years old. A younger age group (50 participants between 18-49 years) will serve as controls and will be given FSME-immune according to standard recommendations (0+30 days).
Serum samples (10 ml of blood) will be obtained at five times: 0,60,120,360 and 400 days after first dose Samples will be analysed for neutralising antibodies at the Swedish institute for Infectious disease control - other options possible.

PAWTUCKET — A Central Falls man accused of breaking into several churches and local businesses, including stealing a churchgoer's car, was arrested by Pawtucket Police on Wednesday.
Dean M. Dumont, of Clay Street, was taken into custody on Dexter Street on Wednesday by Officer James Baino. According to Major Arthur Martins, a description and other information that came about during an investigation of the crimes led to police identifying Dumont as the suspect in the Park Place Congregational Church break-in last Sunday. Police were also able to tie him to several other recent break-ins.
At the Park Place Congregational Church, 71 Park Place West, Dumont reportedly entered during a church service, rummaged through people's belongings and stole the pastor's cell phone, a woman's cell phone and wallet, and another woman's cell phone and car keys. He then allegedly used the car keys to drive off in the woman's 1998 Toyota Camry.
Martins said that Dumont is also accused of breaking into St. Joseph's Church at 195 Walcott St., sometime between October 16 and 17, where he stole some church implements, the priest's guitar, some office equipment, as well as food and other items. On October 19, he allegedly broke into the Temple of the Restoration on Walcott Street where he also removed some items, Martins said.

The official New Year's Eve countdown starts in just two short days, so in the spirit of this truly festive time, we're delighted to bring to you one last shimmering outfit idea. We're talking about the liquid-like sheen that is transforming our favorite dresses, tops, skirts, and shoes into pitch-perfect party pieces: metallics! Whether you choose to wear it as a subtle accent or go for a vibrant, knockout piece, this lustrous material is an excellent way to liven up your look, which is why we're not surprised that fashion favorites like Dree Hemingway, Olivia Palermo, and Alexa Chung are embracing its sultry sparkle.
Minor Metallics
Though we generally find fashion's finest taking the sartorial plunge with daring metallic dresses, a touch of this opulent material can look just as stunning and noteworthy, as demonstrated by top stylesetters Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo. We first spotted Chung addressing this trend back in September at the GQ 2010 Men of the Year Awards in London, when she gave her outfit--a cream Valentino S/S 11 embroidered top and skirt--an unexpected shimmery accent with Chanel's S/S 11 pearl-embellished silver shoes. Three months later at the Footwear News 24th Annual Achievement Awards, Palermo was also snapped adding a dash of shine to her more utilitarian essentials. She used a gold metallic Rebecca Taylor skirt to liven up her Dolce & Gabbana black lace top, Ports 1961 sweater (which is sadly no longer available), and Charlotte Olympia Minerva Booties ($1383,323.930.8951) for a perfectly polished, festive look.
If you're still not quite sure about this bold clothing trend, we suggest following the ladies' lead because even just a hint of sheen makes for an exceptional ensemble. You can always start small like Chung did with a pair of metallic shoes. We think Elizabeth and James' Metallic Leather Ankle Boots ($550) and Sam Edelman's Metallic Ankle Boots ($200) are both super cool options that are sure to give your outfit the perfect shimmering finish. If you're looking to dive a little deeper into this trend you can always emulate Palermo's chic look by trying Diane von Furstenberg's Bolo Metallic Tweed Skirt ($385) or J. Crew's Hammered Silk Skirt ($70); either option can be used to create a buzz-worthy holiday ensemble.
Interesting Accents
Metallic pieces certainly stand out on their own, but styling your glittery picks with unusual or interesting accents can really make an outfit pop. Not sure how this can be done? We suggest taking a page from the lookbooks of Heidi Klum and Lou Doillon, as both will surely give you some stellar inspiration. We were particularly fond of Heidi Klum's vibrant pairing at City magazine's September issue celebration in New York three months ago. The model/TV mogul wore 3.1 Phillip Lim's Colorblock Sequin Dress ($1100, 310.358.1988) with electric green heels, resulting in an intriguing, flashbulb-worthy combo. And, although Doillon's noir pick at the Tommy Hilfiger Champs Elysee flagship store opening in Paris last month isn't ultra-flashy, we appreciate the way she accessorized her vintage-collection Tommy Hilfiger dress with a long, layered, silver chain necklace for an extra bit of panache.
For those of you who are interested in accessorizing your metallic picks like Klum and Doillon, you're in luck! We've found some A+ alternatives that are sure to make you really shine this holiday season. If you're fond of Klum's unlikely pairing, then you'll want to pick up a gray three-quarter sleeve dress, like BCBGMAXAZRIA's Asymmetrical Sequined Top ($408), and style it with a pair of bright shoes. Now the neon hue is up to you, but we like Melissa's Strappy Sandals ($182) in Green for a true Klum interpretation. Of course, color isn't the only way to add interest to your metallic clothing! Like Doillon, you can use a strong piece of jewelry to accent your frock. Marc New York's Draped Metallic Jacquard Dress ($168) is a good foundation piece; simply be sure to finish it with Madewell's Crystal Castles Necklace ($118).
Unexpected Color
While you generally find metallic pieces in the standard triad of hues (bronze, silver, and gold), we find that this material is even more captivating in luxe jewel tones, as Blake Lively and Dree Hemingway show us with their high-impact green frocks. Lively definitely caught our attention in a shimmering bottle green, hand-draped Prabal Gurung Dress ($2750, email@example.com) and Christian Louboutin for Marchesa booties at the Footwear News 24th Annual Achievement Awards, but we also adore Dree Hemingway's interpretation of this trend. The model attended the Associates Committee of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's fall party last month wearing a one-of-a-kind emerald green python strapless Gucci dress and green velvet and gold sandals, and the resulting look made us truly believe in the glamorous appeal of metallics!
While both Hemingway and Lively's metallic pieces are obsession-worthy to say the least, we've compiled some amazing finds of our own. If you're fond of our subjects' color choice, you might want to pick up Nicole Miller's Techno Metal Dress ($420) or Surface to Air's Bottle Green Drape Dress ($255). But if green is not your color, you can always try BCBGMAXAZRIA's Taffeta Bustier Dress ($128) or Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Corset Dress ($295); either way, you're bound to make a lasting impression at your next fete. And just because there are so many great options out there, we also must include two final options: Thread Social's Jacquard Sleeveless Trench Dress ($650) and Foley + Corinna's Metallic Lace Strapless Dress ($475). Both dresses are worth checking out, in fact, we promise they won't disappoint!--Jessica Baker

I've seen so many people slagging off this game, and frankly I just don't understand it. This game has a ace plot line, as well as the best graphics a JP game has ever had!
I have my suspicious that people only wanted a good-graphic version of Trespasser. Telltale made it very, very clear back when they were in earlier development, that this would NOT be a dinosaur shooting game, and more like a sort of interactive movie. And so, they automatically blame the newest (and actually one of the best) Jurassic Park game, that it isn't what they wanted.
And anyway, a dinosaur shooting game wouldn't make any sense, in Jurassic Park. On the whole of Isla Nublar, there is a total of one T.rex, and very few Raptor's left now, and it's nearly the same for Isla Sorna. If they where, to say, make a Jurassic Park shooting game, people would then complain that it was poorly constructed, what with there being faaarrrr to many carnivores. There are two choices when it comes to Jurassic Park Game's: Well put together and in-depth plots, or plot less shooting.
I've also heard the term 'Lazy Development' passed around rather frequently. This also, is incorrect, as almost as much work would have been put into Telltales Game, as would have, say, a good-graphic version of Trespasser. The T.rex roar was just a genuine mistake, I'd like to see some of these people who talk bad about the game because of this make a better game. And then of course, there's the small delay on the games release, which I would like to point out, Telltale made up with releasing a Deluxe Edition of the game. (And I'd like to point out, also tied a few loose ends up from the movie, like the whole size issue and frill of the Dilo's, and Triceratops/Torosaurus situation.)
There's then whole 'Cut Episode' thing, but let's keep in mind the reason this episode was cut was to get it released sooner, because we wouldn't stop bugging them about it.
And that's it, if you were expecting a shooter game, despite everything that you have been told by the producers, then you sir (or madam), are a nitwit.
That's my small rant over; I just wanted to make it very clear to Telltale, that there are some people out there who appreciate their work. (And would also, be very, very greatful for a sequel game! :) )

- Good Devil style GD1007
One step above an elasticized cock ring, the Good Devil padded cock ring incorporates light and fluffy padding that takes you closer to cloud nine. A Velcro closure provides an easy, comfortable fit – far more fun to wear than rigid metal cock rings, which can be dangerous to wear. This ultra-plush erotic accessory is a must-have for any guy who wants to make an even bigger impact!
