NIAGARA FALLS – City and state police responded to a call of a home invasion in the 700 block of Division Avenue just before 10 p.m. Sunday and discovered blood splatters on the carpet in the living room and on the floors near the bedroom and in the bathroom.
The 27-year-old victim was not home, but was located by police in the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center emergency room where he was being treated for a cut over his left eye.
The victim told police that three males knocked on the door and then pushed their way in when he opened it. He said the three unknown men, who were wearing bandannas over their faces, ordered him to sit on the couch. He said one of the men hit him in the face with a pistol and ordered him to lie down on the floor.
He said he handed over $200, his earrings and a cell phone. He said the men also took an Xbox game system and caused a chair to be broken when he was thrown to the ground.
He said the men were in the house for about five minutes and he went to the hospital after they left.
Total loss and damage was estimated at $800.

directly to him, if something arises - even if you BULBS / FLUORESCENT
. need Desire for a change in the room furniture / lighting / decoration, we will be happy to meet if it is possible for us. Framed concert posters, e.g. Rolling Stones, and other motifs, we're happy to provide.
Every resident can use both kitchens.
The basement kitchen is happy to be used in consideration of the dormant there for "a long evening sessions."
The sanitary facilities in the 2nd Floor can also be used by the inhabitants of EC and basement.
The patio between the house and garage is available to all residents. In the evening
pay attention to civilian volume because of the neighbors and then re-stack chairs at the corner of the house,
Clean table and / ashtrays.
Then something changes constantly, and do not always keep all of it, we have not updated the plan.
We have been trying for some time as follows:
The current mode for long-term tenant remains, which have a privilege.
The square in front of the entrance is to be kept free.
Women have the privilege in front of the house or between home and church to park.
Unsightly car park at the rear to Stephaniweg, after the left turn.
At the weekend, from Friday evening to Sunday evening, we would like right in front of the house,
do not see any cars: why is parked on Wo.ende every where what is free, if the back of the Stephaniweg after the left turn, or between the house and garage, but not in front of the house please!
Also please never tame the neighbors bushes or hedges on the (west-east axis Stephaniweg)
to park very well but after the left curve of the hedge (north-south axis).
Please only bicycles on the garage wall, there is also the best weather protection.
In the House, bicycles may not be parked next to a (paid) exception.
Again and again, the Internet extremely slow. This is inter alia the fact that
Programs like bit torrent / eMule / eDonkey / Gnutella can be used. In other words: Extreme capacity to be used for downloads, which are soon released, and this throughout the day. Please adjust these activities, or restrict downloads to the time ranges from 23 clock clock und 9. Anything else is inconsiderate towards others who just want skype late afternoon or evening, alone, for example.
If it do not improve, we need to plug in doubt in the telecommunications room,
then there are a couple of days no internet. The most indiscreet way would be to identify the relevant, but what we want to avoid for reasons of confidentiality.
A significant improvement should result from May / June 2012, because we can then put an additional line.
Also out of respect for the roommate, we expect that everyone can dish itself admits
or rinsed off, and after each use of the kitchen leaves everything perfectly clean and tidy.
Here is the good nature of some residents who may suffer any mess and then strange things will clear up being exploited by some. How to organize the clearing out of the dishwasher just, I do not know, but if anyone noticed the finished machine, then everything
dispel, should follow the random law of large numbers over a longer period
all come to it equally often. The dishwasher just turn up at least 21 clock!
First Do not leave leftovers on the dishes!
Second Dried hot rinse dishes or cutlery or the soak.
Third Only by testing whether the two propellers, the upper and the lower turn, can rotate freely,
Otherwise, much will remain dirty.
I.e. particularly high plate only in the last 4 compartments front left, front right, hi.li., hi.re. plus propeller test.
No glass in lower compartment when they could rise by as down.
Again and again the whole house smells of food. If you turned up on the hood when fully
Cooking, it smells less. In addition, door (basement) and curtain (soon OG2) when cooking is
! close
Please never BOLD in the spout, but soak up with paper and into the recycling bin or trash.
Always turn off the heating or low-set, if you leave the house!
Not only for cost reasons (see the enormous costs), but for ecological
If we look from the outside, that a window is opened or tilted, if the tenant is gone,
we are forced to go into the room to close it,
because we do not tolerate the risks due to weather and fuel wastage.
In addition, we show each tenant in a case once with EUR 10 - Supplement.
For water and storm damage in each case, the tenant is liable.
We also recommend that for health reasons not to heat too much and in particular
at night, or turn back.
Never tilt your screen permanently, but open doors and windows + 5-10 minutes correctly
air that is always more effective than tilting the window for hours, possibly directly on the radiator!
TABLE TENNIS / Punching Bag
The table tennis table and the punching bag in the basement are for everyone. If later in the evening, please

It was a very nice week at the mörlbach castle with nice and kind landlord's
A great and fantastic place to stay and enjoy. The landlord and landlady are extremely well educated, unusually relaxed. Cultural openness makes this place the place to go when you want Munich and its surroundings. Number one for me. You won't find anything better. Regards Christian
Our stay in this small castle can only find a little downer: 10 steps to the basement, 50 steps to the roof. Everything else was super top class. The room wonderfully bright and quiet, gorgeous large bathroom (basin urgently needs bud) promptly hot water - kitchen: in the hallway always a meeting place with nice people from all over the world. The good spirit Willi: an open ear to all our questions and bzgl.Freizeitgestaltung always a funny saying on stock. Evening cozy smoking round the entrance - let the day revue and get tips for tomorrow. Mörlbach - a good address. Tasty rolls in the neighboring. Rossmann and Tengelmann just five minutes. By train to the center of Munich is jiffy. Thank Wimdu.
Zu unserem Aufenthalt im kleinen Schloß lässt sich nur ein kleiner Wermutstropfen finden: 10 Stufen in den Keller, 50 Stufen bis unters Dach. Alles andere war superspitzenklasse. Das Zimmer wundervoll hell und ruhig, herrlich großes Bad, (Waschbecken braucht dringend Stöpsel) prompt heißes Wasser - Küche: auf dem Flur immer ein Treffpunkt mit netten Menschen aus aller Welt. Der gute Geist Willi: ein offenes Ohr für alle unsere Fragen bzgl.Freizeitgestaltung und immer einen lustigen Spruch auf Lager. Abendliche gemütliche Raucherrunde vor dem Eingang - den Tag revuepassieren lassen und Tipps für morgen bekommen.
Mörlbach - eine gute Adresse. Leckere Brötchen im Nachbarort. Rossmann und Tengelmann nur fünf Minuten entfernt.
Per S-Bahn ist man ruckzuck mitten in München.
Danke wimdu.
Unfortunately I did not get the room I had booked. Therefore, I left again. Very friendly contact person there.
Leider habe ich nicht das Zimmer bekommen was ich gebucht habe. Daher bin ich wieder abgereist. Sehr freundliche Ansprechpartner dort.
Nice location and quiet, clean place to stay, friendly hosts and nice roommate alledings you need in every case a car.
Schöne Lage und ruhige, saubere Unterkunft, freundliche Gastgeber und nette Mitbewohner, alledings braucht man in jedem Fall ein Auto.
The area is nice and calm, nice and helpful hosts. Thank you.
Great stay here in Berg. Rooms very comfortable with easy access to cooking and cleaning facilities etc. Staff were friendly and helpful. I did enjoy being able to escape from the massive crowds of Oktoberfest to this idyllic country location- although if I was staying again I would probably think about hiring a car to get to/ from station and Munich center!
Beautiful landscapes throughout the area, easy access to train and big cities if you want peace and rest is the ideal place, I recommend it, greetings.
Hermoso paisajes en toda la zona, facil acceso al tren y ciudades grandes si lo que quieres es tranquilidad y descansar es el lugar ideal, lo recomiendo, saludos.
Ich möchte mich auf diesem Weg bei der Gastgeberin und für die schnelle Hilfe zu meinem Fauxpas von Benny bei Pete sehr bedanken. Beim nächsten Besuch bringe ich dann doch noch Spagetti und Nägel mit :)
Bei meiner Ankunft war bereits alles vorbereitet und man konnte problemlos auch ohne Anmeldung ins Gartenhäuschen einziehen.
Das Gartenhäuschen selbst ist wie beschrieben. Auch die Sanitären Anlagen im Haupthaus sind mit ein paar Schritten durch den schönen Garten zu erreichen. Bei einer nächtlchen Begehung sollte man eine Taschenlampe einpacken.
Die Mitbenutzung der Küche und Geräten, wie Wasserkocher, Kühlschrank und Herd, ist sehr großzügig und unbeaufsichtigt. Man hat niemand im Nacken sitzen, kann sich super frei bewegen und vermittelt eine Selbstbestimmung. Benutztes Geschirr muss natürlich wieder aufgeräumt werden. Sanitäre Anlagen sind mit Berücksichtigung des Alters stets sauber.
Der Geräuschpegel war im Gartenhäuschen extrem leise.
Insgesamt, ein gutes Konzept an Beherbergung.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

The latest league domino fell Friday, and its fall reverberated through what will soon remain of the Midland Athletic League.
Current MAL members Calvert, Lakota, New Riegel, Old Fort and Fremont St. Joe joined soon-to-be-former Sandusky Bay Conference member Sandusky St. Mary in announcing the formation of the Sandusky River League, which begins play in 2014-15.
"We're excited. We feel that the Sandusky River League is going to be a very viable league that will have some very loyal members," said Lakota Superintendent Dave Danhoff, spokesman for the SRL. "We're looking to expand. We think within two to three years we'll have a very, very solid league. We're just going to have to realize for the first couple of years, we're going to have some growing pains and we're going to have to deal with that and make the best of it.
"But we're excited. Everybody's excited and we're united and we're ready to move forward," he said.
Calvert Athletic Director Scott Brickner said the SRL will allow for some long-time rivalries to remain, while others will be rekindled.
"They're teams we have a long history of competition with. There's a tradition there. They're similar size, similar enrollment numbers. There's a built-in relationship, really, and that's the key thing with these other schools in the SRL, is a familiarity," he said. "Our fans know each other, we've competed against each other for a long time and we're very happy to be back affiliated again with Sandusky St. Mary, which for us was an old SBC (Sandusky Bay Conference) rival for a long time; huge tradition of us playing them for a long time so we're excited to have them back as part of the family.
"It's important. Kids love games like that," Brickner said. "They want a traditional rival to play against. ... In terms of the schools in the MAL, we were in the league for 27 years. ... We have a long history in that league. That's something we'll look at."
Friday's announcement came at the end of a six- to eight-week discussion between the SRL founders, Danhoff said, and followed a series other MAL schools announcing their departure from the league in 2014-15 - Carey, Mohawk and Seneca East to the Northern 10 Athletic Conference; and Hopewell-Loudon and North Baltimore to the Blanchard Valley Conference.
Left out of the SLR discussion were MAL members St. Wendelin and Bettsville, who both helped found the MAL with Hopewell-Loudon, New Riegel, Old Fort, Seneca East and North Baltimore at the start of the 1985-86 basketball season.
Danhoff said questions about student numbers at St. Wendelin and Bettsville are a concern, but added they are welcome to apply for membership and have been extended invitations.
The league's goal is to have six to eight football-playing schools and two or three non-football-playing schools.
Calvert, Lakota, St. Joe and St. Mary field football teams, while New Riegel and Old Fort do not.
St. Wendelin fielded a football team in the MAL until low numbers led to it joining the Northwest Central Conference in that sport only for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. The NWCC then voted St. Wendelin out as a football member and the Mohawks played as an independent team in 2011 and 2012.
Bettsville does not field a football team.
"Our main concern right now is to try to find football playing schools. Currently we have four, and ultimately we'd like to start [the league] with six if we could; it'd be a good number, but right now we have four," Danhoff said.
"We certainly haven't shut the door on anybody, it's just one of those things where we've got to start somewhere," he said.
Danhoff said the MAL tried twice recently to expand, but neither attempt succeeded, leaving the formation of a new league as the only option.
"(Expansion) was our first choice. We attempted to do that on two different occasions, extended invitations to a lot of schools and we were declined, and so we felt at that time we had to go in a different direction," he said.
Danhoff said invitations went to several other schools, including Hopewell-Loudon and North Baltimore. He said both of those current MAL schools chose to honor their commitment to the BVC, and added he was not at liberty to name the others who received invitations.
Brian Shaver, director of parish for St. Wendelin, said rumors of the MAL's demise picked up speed when Carey, Mohawk, Seneca East, Hopewell-Loudon and North Baltimore each announced they would leave. He said he and other leaders of MAL schools hoped the league would remain, but they also kept an eye out for change.
"We certainly were looking at what was going on and we were keeping ourselves abreast of what was happening in all other leagues and potentially growing, but we were ... cautiously optimistic, hoping the MAL would stay together, which I think that the other schools which had helped form the SRL were hoping the MAL would possibly stay together as well," he said. "That option apparently seems to be fairly exhausted, so at this point, we will begin looking at our fit in other leagues.
Shaver said St. Wendelin is weighing its options of applying to both the SRL and other leagues and, despite its size, has plenty to offer.
"We think we have ... a lot of positive things to bring to the table when joining a new league," he said. "We have a pretty strong fan following, a fan base. Our gates are relatively decent, and in all leagues that we would even look at for consideration, we would bring an above average gate. We would be competitive in a league we would be looking at."

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif - One evening in the winter of an early-adolescent year, when girls and hormones and bullies and hormones and middle school in general ensured life was as dramatically miserable as possible, while my mom drove us home in the full-size Bronco I would later take to college, I took a step toward adulthood by saying, "I know Santa's not real, but still, this Christmas, I..." and she cut me off.
What did I mean Santa's not real? Look around! People are singing and whistling. People who rarely talk to each other are making an effort to do so. So-and-so is being nice to his wife and kids. People are giving presents to each other and making donations to people they don't even know. And when people get together, they make an effort to be happy. It doesn't always work, but they try. They try to be happy and they try to see the best in each other. That's the spirit of St. Nicholas, of Father Christmas, the warm, happy glow of Christmas. Maybe there's not a fat man in a red velvet suit like you see on commercials, but don't say the spirit of Christmas doesn't exist.
It stuck with me (obviously). Every year, amid the barrage of merchandizing, the nauseating overload of new, flashy renditions of old, abused carols, even among the squalor and lust of Bangkok, there's still a part of Christmas that reinforces the spirit of St. Nicholas. There's still the message of peace and goodwill and sharing and caring, even if it's hidden behind a 15-foot animatronic snowman telling you the more you buy, the happier you'll be; Linus still breaks through the commercials to deliver the meaning of Christmas and the Gospel of Luke.
Granted, the strippers and streetwalkers and beggars and scammers and monks who seem to crowd every available patch of Bangkok sidewalks might not have been motivated by the Christmas spirit, but not so for the foreigners who stopped, gave money, and bowed to the monks, all with, "Merry Christmas!"
So to this day, I try (sometimes successfully) to fill myself with the spirit of St. Nicholas every Sunday as I warm up my tuba before church. I remind myself it's an exception for people to come to church, especially this time of year when it's foul weather or great ski weather or winter break, time to visit family or be visited by relatives, so I should be especially happy to see them.
And every week, without fail, I watch the congregation come together (puppies, porcupines, people, and even musicians) with warm handshakes and hugs and, "Hi, howareya, whoareya, whereyabeen, howyabeen, OHMYGODWHAT'STHAT?" And every week, without fail, I am reminded that church, at least as we do it at St. Nicholas, is not about changing people or condemning people or guilt trips, damnation, obligation, extortion, or even dressing up to beat fashionista gossip; I'm reminded it's about coming together with people who care, who aren't welcoming the bad but embracing the good (even in a porcupine and tuba, although embracing either [especially the porcupine] is discouraged).
Every Sunday of the year, to the degree I'm open to it, I get the chance to embrace the spirit of St. Nicholas, the warmth of Christmas, and every Sunday, no matter how I felt walking in, I leave church with the same, warm glow that's at the heart of Christmas.
- Russell Richardson, MM, MFA, St. Nick's tuba player and publicist

IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0000UTC Chart on 27 September 2016 Issued at 11:57 am EST Tuesday on 27 September 2016 A field of convective cellular cloud over southeast Australia is associated with the passage of a cold front. In the west, patchy cloud is observed over southwest WA ahead of an approaching cold front and thick cloud band. An upper level cloud band is streaming down from tropical convection over the Indian Ocean west of Java to central Australia and central Queensland. This cloud is brought along by the upper level subtropical jet stream. The remainder of the continent is mostly cloud free due to a ridge of high pressure centred over South Australia.

Watch your back, Rosalie!
The fictional character, played by Nikki Reed, 24, in the Twilght saga, is attacked in the head by Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), 21, with a dog bowl in a never-before-seen clip from the extended edition of Breaking Dawn: Part 1.
Rosalie sets down the dog bowl, which contains a hot dog, next to Jacob, telling him, "Enjoy, mongrel," with a smirk.
After taking a bite of the meal, Lautner proceeds to hurl the bowl at her head, as she walks away with her back facing him.
"He hit me in the head with that bowl, but it was a rubber bowl," Reed tells PEOPLE of the prop. "I mean, it doesn't matter what Taylor throws, it's all going to be painful."
The extra clip is a scene that was written up in the original Breaking Dawn book, but never made it to the big screen version. The extended DVD, along with the Breaking Dawn: Part 2 DVD, is available (separately) March 2.
"We love giving the fans any opportunity to see more," Reed says. "And as an actor making these films, you kind of know these stories revolve around the love story with Bella, Edward and Jacob. The books contain a lot more, but the films can only be so long. We shoot a lot of stuff that doesn't necessarily make it into the film, but they're always on the DVD."
Reflecting back on the cast and her time filming, Reed calls their bond "undeniable," saying, "I think that we will all continue to put in the effort. We're always all over the place and it's hard to find each other. It does take work, but I think we all care about each other."
In fact, fellow costar, Peter Facinelli, already has a regular reunion plan.
"Peter was like, 'Hey, should we do like every Sunday brunch?' " Reed says. "I said, 'Sure, if I'm in town, I'm in.' I'm positive there will be a massive reunion. I'm not sure who is going to organize it, but I am happy to."

I think we did. And again I have to state how opposed I am to #9!
I don't like that idea either. That would be the last possible thing I would do. 1, 2, 4, 7 and 10 are mine. Who would replace Bettman? I don' t know. I sure don't like the idea I read on, I think it was TSN, that Brian Burke could be GM one day if he wanted. Then every time a big canadian hit a guy from behind its because he was big, the other guy was small, and the big guy was canadian. 2 and 10 go together. Get on TV in the US more and market these guys. The NHL guys are blue color type guys for the most part. There not like the NBA and NFL guys who go out and get arrested for feeling up strippers or carrying guns. They all say thank you after an interview and are very well spoken for the most part. Officiating has been better, less clutching, but now sometimes they call everything. Keep working on it and eventually they would get it right. And finally 7. Let these guys fight. A little self policing wouldn't hurt sometimes. Two guys fight and its usually over. McCarty went after Lemieux and then he cam back to show he wasn't a turtle and then it was over for the most part.

Tyler Merkel Named MAC Golfer of the Week
MUNCIE, Ind. -- After posting a 3-0 record at the Mid-American Match Play, Ball State's Tyler Merkel was selected as the Mid-American Conference Men's Golfer of the Week.
A senior from Evansville, Ind., Merkel led the Cardinals to the team title at the match play event. He played bogey free in two of his rounds, and none of his matches reached the final hole.
He opened with a 6 and 4 victory over Bowling Green's Ryan Triller on Monday morning and followed it up with a 4 and 2 win over Xavier's John Burger in the afternoon to help Ball State reach the finals. Merkel then topped Brett White, 3 and 1, in Tuesday's championship round to help the Cardinals get by No. 1 seed Eastern Michigan.
The eight-team match play tournament included six MAC squads and was played on the South Course at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club in Dade City, Fla. Ball State has now reached the finals in all three years of the tournament and won it twice.
Merkel, who is a three-time All-MAC selection, has now been named the MAC Golfer of the Week seven times in his career.
