Impressive originals – with hidden magic in gold
Knead the FIMO and roll each colour out to a sheet using the clay machine on its thickest setting. You will need two sheets of metallic gold.
Stack the sheets of FIMO in the following order to create a rectangular pile: Metallic gold, translucent, glitter gold, metallic gold, light flesh and stardust.
Slice a thin layer off the top of the elevated star holding your sharp, flexible blade parallel to the surface. Make sure you don't cut too deeply. If you don't like the pattern, you can cut off another slice.
You won't be able to cut off another slice though if you cut too deeply into the sheet the first time round.
Unfinished items and left-over bits of material can be stored in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container, e.g. a plastic box or jar.
Cut the star out using the round-shaped cutter. Ensure the cutter is large enough and allows you to leave about a 5 mm gap all around the star.
Then roll over the star with the acrylic roller to make the surface even and smooth. If necessary, use your fingers to carefully bring the star back into shape.
Create a thin sausage of metallic gold and position it around the edge.
The golden star is now ready to be hardened in the oven for around 30 minutes at 110°C. Repeat the process to make two smaller stars and circles for the earrings.
Once hardened, you can carefully go over the surface with the sanding sponges to make it smoother.
But don't forget! Don't sand too much or you might spoil the pattern!
To finish off, drill a hole in the star and stick an o-ring in. String the large star onto the choker necklace and add the two smaller ones to the creole earrings.
You'd like to make some unique jewellery of your own?
The complete 'Hidden Magic in Gold' creative tip can be found in the creative tip finder.
Blending table
Use the blending table to help create the colour you require.
E.g. by blending 3 parts yellow (-10) with 5 parts pink (-22) you get a warm red colour.
It's just as easy to make colours lighter or darker - all you have to do is to add black (-9) or white (-0).
FIMO soft standard blocks are segmented into 8 portions, making it very easy to blend the colours.
Please note that colours may vary due to printing process.

Spring 2015 is going to be a romantic one! Trendy pastel hues such as rosé, mint or vanilla are simply perfect for combining with a romantic vintage or trendy shabby chic look and are ideal for adding an unpretentious flair to your home. You can create your own customised home deco with subtle shades of FIMO effect and FIMO soft and then use the picture frames, vases or other items you've made to set stylish accents in the 'in' colours of the season.
Creative romanticism
Vintage clothes, vintage deco, vintage weddings – this charming combination of retro, romanticism and naturalness is more popular this spring than ever before. The best thing about it is: It leaves plenty of scope for creativity. Anything goes as long as it has a dreamy, nostalgic, intricate or fancy look to it ... it's impossible to go 'over the top'.
Ideal for the next self-made collection
The gentle hues in the FIMO effect range of pastel colours are just the thing for the vintage look. Vases, picture frames, lanterns, candlesticks and jewellery boxes made out of the oven-hardening modelling clay are simply ideal for creating an atmosphere of well-being. Whether combined with flea market treasures or family heirlooms, these original-looking deco items not only look good, they create a wonderfully trendy yet cosy shabby look feel at the same time.
DIY blending with FIMO soft and FIMO effect
Delicate pastel-coloured home deco elements look particularly good in romantic shabby chic interiors. Small presents and gifts are easy to make too. What about giving your favourite fragrance diffuser a nice cover? Simply select different pastel shades of FIMO soft and FIMO effect and decorate the bottle with them in any design you like. Its new, creative-looking exterior is sure to transform the bottle into a real eye-catcher.
Whether christening, wedding or garden fete, here's another clever suggestion for the party season: These heavenly gift bags are sure to make any event a happy occasion. Custom-made tags in matching shades such as vanilla (FIMO effect: 8020-105), aqua blue (8020-305) or rosé (8020-205) give the bags a truly personal touch and add a wonderful finish to the thank-you gifts.

Statement necklace in 'marsala', colour of the year for 2015 – easy to make
Flamboyant shapes and colours in an XXL size – filigree jewellery was yesterday, now is the time for statements. These oversized necklaces add a perfect finishing touch to the latest fashion trends and also go particularly well with the unpretentious looks that are currently all the rage.
The necklaces make an even more effective statement when they've been hand-crafted and reflect the personality of the person wearing it. Creative users can use FIMO to tailor a statement necklace in line with their own individual style. What's more, with FIMO soft, you can blend your own trend colours for 2015.
Must-have of the year: Mix-and-match know-how
Stunning, big, original: Statement necklaces are true eye-catchers. It's good to know what to wear them with. This striking jewellery looks best when combined with a plain blouse or dress.
Also important: A more sophisticated touch is achieved when the necklace is worn against clothing, not skin. Use FIMO to design your own fashion accessories and create necklaces tailor-made to match your wardrobe favourites.
FIMO in Pantone trend colours
Your unique FIMO soft statement necklace gets full style points when made in one of the Pantone trend colours for 2015. Thanks to its extensive range, FIMO soft is able to meet demand for these 'in' colours and offers a wide selection of the most popular shades. Whether wine red, brown or orange – it's strong, earthy tones we'll be seeing on the catwalks this season. Headed by the Pantone colour of the year 2015: Marsala. This elegant red-brown colour is a statement in itself and can be used either on its own or together with other fashion shades.
The FIMO colour blend for marsala is:
- Two parts FIMO soft in indian red (8020-24)
- One part FIMO soft in purple (8020-61)
- One part FIMO soft in cognac (8020-76)
- One eighth FIMO soft in black (8020-9)
How it's done: Use the FIMO clay machine to roll out one sheet of each of the above colours. Make sure that all of the sheets are of the same thickness and that you use the same setting on the clay machine. Then use a cutter to cut out the number of parts given above and knead together.
Colours of distinction: How to mix them
In addition to marsala, other key colours this year are tangerine orange and toasted almond. The blend for the vivid tangerine orange is simple: Simply mix half a part of FIMO soft in sunflower (8020-16) with one part white (8020-0), two parts caramel (8020-7) and two parts tangerine (8020-42). The subtle toasted almond is matched by FIMO soft's sahara (8020-70).
The cool Pantone fashion colours for cool accessories are to be found in the FIMO colour range too. The vibrant aquamarine is like aqua FIMO effect (8020-305). The fresh-looking glacier gray can be created using FIMO soft dolphin grey (8020-80) and the soft custard hue is similar to vanilla FIMO effect (8020-105).

FIMO in action
Why I use FIMO
Infinite creative freedom
There are only few materials which offer as wide a variety for creative expression as FIMO does. For one, working with FIMO is easy to learn – first results are quickly achieved almost in no time.
And you can create almost anything: jewellery or accessories, picture frames or decorations, dolls and figures, flowers and sculptures – everything is possible. The vast range of FIMO colours and the unique texture make it possible to imitate other materials in a remarkably convincing way, for example wood, stone, glass and many others. Incidentally, it teaches you techniques which were originally based on processing entirely different materials.
Tools? You can actually start with hardly any special tools. Beginners in particular can already fabricate the most beautiful creations using only the Starter Kit. And if you later want to create more delicate and more professional pieces, you simply venture to tackle the various tools.
If you have questions, please take a look at our FIMO FAQ section or contact our customer service at service(at)staedtler.de

FIMO - the story of success
STAEDTLER® FIMO® - History
It all begins in 1939.
In her search for a new material to use for her dolls' heads, the well-known doll maker Kaethe Kruse begins experimenting with a new substance.
As the material turns out to be unsuitable for serial production, her daughter Sophie does some experimenting of her own with it, mixing pastes and colours into it and then kneading it into a whole variety of shapes and objects.
She uses the material to create vases, mosaics, pictures, miniatures, figures and toys.
Sophie Rehbinder-Kruse sums up her philosophy as follows: ''Mankind instinctively wants to model things; it is his way of cherishing and preserving something dear to him". As a result, she goes on to develop her first modelling clay kit in 1954.
She creates the brand name FIMOIK by using the first two letters of her nickname 'Fifi', the 'Mo' from modelling clay and the final letters of 'mosaic', one of her favourite techniques.
Thanks to the family's excellent connections to the toy trade, 'Kaethe Kruses Ofenknete' (oven-baked clay) is well received by the market.
In 1964, Eberhard Faber acquires all of the rights. In 1978, this company, established in 1922 in Neumarkt, becomes part of STAEDTLER Group.
In 1966, equipped with a new concept, improved recipe and better sounding name, 'FIMO' is successfully launched onto the market in a range of 15 colours, two different sizes of block and variety of gift sets.
A FIMO handbook jam-packed with suggestions and instructions and a number of different brochures inspire users to try their hand at a whole array of new creative ideas.
The range continues to grow. Over the years, new colours, including some with special glitter, stone and transparent effects are added to it.
Craft sets complete with accessories on a selection of creative themes are also introduced.
Today, the range comprises 72 different colours and is rounded off by a wide assortment of accessories such as 'FIMO liquid', varnishes, metallic powders, leaf metal, push moulds and metal jewellery bases.
Sophisticated FIMO techniques such as 'millefiori', 'mokume gane', 'kaleidoscope' and 'Skinner blend' have developed.
Gemstone imitations, silk-screen, patina, ink and impression effects etc. all make FIMO an extremely versatile material: For imaginative modelling by children and more complex applications in the field of art and jewellery design.

Mixing technique with soft pastel on cardboard – by Corinne Korda
The lemur startled out of its siesta was painted with soft pastel chalks over a rough sketch made of diluted opaque paint ...
"Siesta" – Individual steps
... The pastel colours were repeatedly painted over – a "smooth wash" – in various stages of development using a brush dipped in water.
The white fur sections are emphasized with opaque colours.

Tips for watercolour painting
As a rule, when watercolouring, you begin with the subtle, light-coloured shades and gradually work towards the darker ones.
The painting surface itself is part of the composition, shimmering through in some places or, in other places, left in its original white state as a highlight. Watercolour pencils can be used with water to create a very thin or partial wash so that characteristic hatching lines remain visible. Colours are often added to a pre-moistened surface or still damp wash so that they run into each other and merge, thereby creating the textures and blends so characteristic of this kind of painting.
The subtlety and delicacy of this painting technique is emphasised still more when parts of the picture are left incomplete, with some of the content merely hinted at, leaving scope for interpretation.
Useful accessories for watercolour pencils:
A quality sharpener with a sharp blade (e.g. STAEDTLER art. no. 512 002), high-quality brushes in the sizes 8, 15 and 20 make a good basic set, two glasses of water (change frequently), paper stomps or, alternatively, cotton buds, tissue paper or tracing paper to protect the finished picture, kneadable eraser for the removal or lightening of watercolour pencil marks (STAEDTLER art. no. 5427).
Painting surface:
Only highly absorbent kinds of paper are suitable for painting with water-colour pencils. As paper can ripple when brought into contact with water, paper of at least 250g/m2 should be used. There are many different kinds of real hand-made paper, from papyrus, Japanese paper and wood-free types (particularly white) right up to embossed card e.g. linen structure. The characteristics of the paper chosen will have a strong influence on the final painting, especially in the case of very subtle watercolours.
Mixed techniques:
Watercolour pencils are ideal for all kinds of mixed techniques. For centuries now, pen, ink, pencil and charcoal drawings have been watercoloured and used as sketches for oil painting. The combination of watercolours with soft pastel chalks and oil pastels creates contrasting effects and allows for hatching, superimposed highlights and accents.
Tips for oil pastel painting
Oil pastels are particularly versatile and possess great expressive power. They contain oil and wax as binding agents. As a result, they do not cause dust and they adhere very well even to smooth paper. Their vibrant colours are reminis- cent of oil paints. They have superb coverage characteristics and best effects are achieved when the colours are applied thickly. Any surplus colour should be removed every now and again with a cotton cloth or piece of kitchen towel.
In addition to this, attractive, smooth transitions of colour can be created by smudging. Oil pastels are not really suitable for detailed work. However, the crayons can be sharpened a little (it is recommended to place them in the fridge for a while beforehand).Another alternative is to take the desired colour and apply it to a piece of e.g. card, partially dissolve it using a brush dipped in solvent and then paint any details on using the brush.
Highlights and shadows are emphasise as a last step using black and white crayons.In this example, impressive effects have been created by a clear, linear structure, leaf metal and relief elements in gold.
Painting surface:
Oil pastels are a versatile medium which adhere to a whole variety of surfaces such as paper, cardboard, canvas, wood, stone and even smooth surfaces like glass and plastic.
Oil pastel paintings are not particularly sensitive but it is, nevertheless, recommended to protect artwork with a transparent cover sheet or to frame it under glass straight away.
Useful accessories:
The only tools really required are fingers, though for certain techniques the following can be helpful: Turpentine substitute, alcohol or linseed oil, scratching tool, e.g. a small knife, fork or nail file, wet wipes for cleaning hands, a small brush for detail work, cotton buds, an old piece of cloth and kitchen towel for smudging, brush for dissolving, sharpener or knife for sharpening.
Tips for soft pastel chalk painting
The term is derived from the Italian word 'pasta' (= paste). Pastels are made up of pigments, binding agents - e.g. tragacanth gum - and sometimes fillers like chalk and talc which make the pastel chalks smooth and soft.Soft pastel chalks are also ideal for all kinds of mixed techniques.
They can be applied on top of gouache, watercolour, not too thickly applied acrylic and even oil paints and can be used in combination with, e.g., charcoal and ink too. They can also be washed with a moist brush, similar to watercolouring.
Painting surface:
Rough paper is most suitable for use with soft pastel chalks. There are many different special pastel papers available, e.g. Ingres, velour paper, Sansfix, pastel card etc. Pastel chalk looks particularly impressive when used on coloured paper, as the surface can then actually be incorporated in the picture.
Storage and framing:
When the work is completed, it is essential that it is fixed. A sheet of tissue or tracing paper may also be used to protect the finished picture. Even pastel artwork that has been properly fixed remains sensitive and, ideally, should be mounted and framed under glass straight away. Anyone not wishing to have a mount should nevertheless make sure that there is a spacer between the glass and the picture in order to avoid condensation stains.
Useful accessories for soft pastel chalks:
Fixative (available e.g. as a spray), paper stomps or, alternatively, cotton buds, wet wipes for cleaning hands and tools every now and then while working, kneadable eraser for the removal or lightening of colours (STAEDTLER art. no. 5427), rice - dirty soft pastel chalks can be cleaned quickly by placing them in a plastic tub with grains of rice -, a cover for the floor underneath the workplace as soft pastel chalks always create dust, protective clothing for the same reason.
Basic techniques
Watercolour pencils - Dry techniques
Hatching: Draw a series thin lines closely together: For special light and shadow effects.
Overlaying: Blend by overlaying individual colours.
Watercolour pencils - Wet techniques
Watercolouring/glazing: Wash colours with a brush - the more the colour is diluted, the lighter it be- comes and the surface shows through.
Dry-on-wet: Use dry lead on moist paper - strokes remain visible but become richer and slightly creamy.
Watercolour pencils -Special techniques
Scraping or shaving technique: Use a knife to carefully remove the wood casing and then rub the exposed coloured lead against coarse-grained sandpaper. When scattered over a very wet wash, the particles create attractive effects and structures.
Smudging and blotting: Create gentle pastel shades and overlays of colour by smudging or blotting with a dry or moist cloth.
Sgraffito effect: Add structures to thick, wet paint by smearing with a cotton bud or cloth.
Oil pastels - Dissolving
Oil pastels can either be partially dissolved and painted with directly on the painting surface itself using turpentine substitute or oil or can be prepared on a palette first. This technique enables the painting of fine details with a brush.
Tip: When working with turpentine substitute you should air the room regularly even if there is not a noticeable odour.
Oil pastels - Hatching technique
Hatching can have different effects depending on whether the lines are made in one direction or in a criss-cross pattern. This technique adds rhythm to a picture.
Oil pastels - Sgraffito technique
This is the painting term for all techniques involving a picture or parts of a picture being scratched. The motif is created by scraping off the top layer of two overlaid colours.
Oil pastels - Overlaying
Blended tones are achieved by overlaying different colours.
Soft pastels - Smudging technique
Draw a motif and then smudge using your hand, a paper stomp or cloth.
Soft pastels - Overlaying
Blend by overlaying individual colours from light to dark.
Soft pastels - Highlighting
- Remove an already applied colour using e.g. a cotton bud or kneadable eraser.
- Then, after fixing, add a new layer of highlights and fix again.
Soft pastels - Bar technique
Use the broad side of the chalk to cover a large area.

FAQ & tips on using FIMO
Opened FIMO
Work in progress and leftovers can be kept in a sealed plastic bag or an airtight container such as a plastic container or a glass.
How does FIMO work?
The oven-hardening modelling clay FIMO is a PVC-based compound.
In comparison to "normal" modelling material, FIMO is much stronger – this structure allows the modelling of small and delicate objects, for example.
The FIMO compound is made of plastic powder, plasticisers and additives.
While baking in the oven, the plasticiser makes the plastic powder gel; once cooled off, it forms a solid matter.
Can I bake already hardened parts several times?
FIMO can be baked several times, for example to plug up cracks or replace broken parts with FIMO.
FIMO is best hardened in the oven for 30 minutes at a ideal temperature of 110° C.
Pieces hardened at 130° C will look pretty much the same, except for the fact that they are a little more flexible.
However, this maximum temperature of 130° C and hardening time of 30 minutes should not be exceeded!
Does FIMO have a use-by date?
FIMO does not have a date of expiry. FIMO should, however, be stored dry and cool. Unhardened FIMO is best kept in aluminium foil, in a metal or plastic box (made of PP or PE!), to protect it from dust and contamination.
FIMO will thus last at least two years.
However, we don't know how long and under what circumstances the FIMO had been stored in the shop before you purchased it.
In order to make older or hardened FIMA soft again, we recommend using FIMO Mix Quick, article no. 8026. The kneading aid for mixing makes softening firmer FIMO quick and easy. This, however, will work only if the compound hasn't thoroughly hardened yet.
Is FIMO suitable for outdoor use?
Once completely hardened, the oven-hardening compound is weatherproof but should not be varnished!
It is important that the hardened model has no cracks through which rain could penetrate. Otherwise the model could burst in freezing temperatures.
The colours might fade a little over time when exposed to intense sunlight; a protection of some kind is therefore recommended, a canopy for example.
What is the ideal temperature for hardening FIMO?
The gelling process (PVC in plasticiser) cannot be completed at temperatures of less than 110° C. FIMO will harden, but is still brittle inside and therefore fragile. If you harden FIMO at temperatures above 110° C, it will become more flexible.
However, you then accept that the colours become more brownish and are possibly about to burn. We do not recommend doing this!
The ideal hardening temperature is 110° C for 30 minutes.
Is FIMO waterproof?
We recommend our oven-hardening modelling clay for snow globes as well.
Here, the hardened model will be placed in water permanently.
However, FIMO should not be varnished.
Can I mix FIMO soft / classic / effect / Puppen with each other?
All these variants can easily be combined and mixed with each other.
Der Geliervorgang (PVC in Weichmacher) kann bei weniger als 110°C nicht bis zu Ende geführt werden. FIMO wird dann zwar hart, ist aber im Inneren noch mürbe und daher bruchanfällig. Wenn man FIMO höher als bei 110°C härtet, wird es eher flexibel.
Man nimmt damit aber in Kauf, dass die Farben bräunlich werden und evtl. kurz vor dem Verbrennen sind. Wir empfehlen das auf keinen Fall!
Die ideale Härtetemperatur beträgt 110°C bei einer Härtezeit von 30 Minuten.
Zum Kleben von abgebrochenen FIMO-Teilen empfehlen wir "Pattex Multi Alleskleber" von Henkel.
Dieser ist von uns getestet worden, er kann auch im Backofen mitgehärtet werden. Der Kleber trocknet transparent auf und verfärbt sich auch nicht durch Hitzeeinwirkung.
Zum Kleben von FIMO Schneekugeln (Verbindung der Haube mit dem Unterteil) empfiehlt sich der Modellbaukleber von Pattex.
Does FIMO contain softening agents such as phthalates?
Phthalate-based plasticisers have fallen into disrepute.
These are suspected of being carcinogenic or mutagenic.
For reasons of preventive consumer protection, STAEDTLER has stopped using plasticiser containing phthalate in FIMO already in 2006.
Is FIMO non-hazardous / non-toxic?
Our oven-hardening modelling clay FIMO does not contain any harmful, allergenic or poisonous substances. FIMO meets the requirements of the EU Directive on the Safety of Toys (EN71, Part 5).
We commissioned the 'Forschungsinstitut für Leder und Kunststoffbahnen gGmbH' (Research Institute of Leather and Plastic Sheeting) to examine emissions at 130° C and 150° C – in other words, at temperatures higher than stated by our instructions (110° C). At both 130° C and 150° C, neither carcinogenic or mutagenic substances were detected, nor any with reproductively toxic properties. Nevertheless, a maximum temperature 130° C should not be exceeded. We recommend using an oven thermometer.
In unfavourable conditions, hydrochloric acid fumes can develop at temperatures above 150°C. However, these have a very strong warning effect (burning sensation in the eyes and stinging in the nasal mucosa) before they cause any toxic reactions. In any case, thoroughly ventilate the room, bring any person outdoors and consult a physician if taken ill (this is a "standard" procedure for any kind of danger and therefore does not apply only to FIMO).
Is FIMO food safe?
Our oven-hardening modelling clay FIMO does not contain any harmful, allergenic or poisonous substances. FIMO meets the requirements of the EU Directive on the Safety of Toys (EN71, Part 5).
Moreover, hardened FIMO is resistant to sweat and saliva in accordance with DIN 53160 (LGA Test 5561011) You should avoid direct contact between FIMO and mouth or food though – FIMO is not food safe.
Ensuring this would require special testing and approvals, which have not been carried out for FIMO. This also applies to animals; we therefore do not recommend using FIMO in aquariums, terrariums or for making animal feeding bowls.
Incidentally, FIMO does not contain any animal components and is gluten-free.
What does "natural-based substances" mean?
Is FIMO not longer made of PVC?
The notice "with natural-based substances" has been printed on the packs of our over-hardening modelling clay since July 2011.
This notice is not the result of a modified formulation.
We rather want to point out that we use raw materials in the production of FIMO which are based on natural fats and oils.
Der Geliervorgang (PVC in Weichmacher) kann bei weniger als 110°C nicht bis zu Ende geführt werden. FIMO wird dann zwar hart, ist aber im Inneren noch mürbe und daher bruchanfällig. Wenn man FIMO höher als bei 110°C härtet, wird es eher flexibel.
Man nimmt damit aber in Kauf, dass die Farben bräunlich werden und evtl. kurz vor dem Verbrennen sind. Wir empfehlen das auf keinen Fall!

Zum Kleben von FIMO Schneekugeln (Verbindung der Haube mit dem Unterteil) empfiehlt sich der Modellbaukleber von Pattex.
What glue is best used for FIMO?
We recommend "Pattex Multi Alleskleber" (all-purpose glue) by Henkel to glue on FIMO parts which have broken off.
We have tested this glue and it too can be hardened in the oven. The glue dries to a transparent state and does not discolour, not even under the influence of heat.
We recommend using the model-making glue by Pattex for the FIMO snow globes (for glueing the cover to the lower part).
Can I wash buttons made of FIMO?
FIMO buttons should not be machine-washed or dry-cleaned because the colours can fade over the course of time depending on the detergent and chemical cleaning agents, respectively.
In general, the buttons should not be varnished because our varnish is water-based. We recommend washing the garment along with the FIMO buttons by hand (30° C) and preferably using a soft detergent.

GOUVERNEUR Village police officer Steven M. Young was suspended with pay Wednesday by the village Board of Trustees pending the outcome of a criminal investigation being conducted by state police.
Mr. Young, also the chief of the Gouverneur Fire Department, could not be reached for comment.
The board had a special meeting at 8 a.m. and went into executive session. When the board members returned to regular session about 45 minutes later, they suspended Mr. Young.
Mayor Ronald P. McDougall declined to comment on the nature of the investigation, as did Police Chief Gordon F. Ayen Jr.
I dont have all of my facts from the state police, Chief Ayen said.
State police refused to discuss the case other than to refer questions about Mr. Youngs suspension to the village.
As a policy, we never confirm or deny any investigation, Capt. Robert S. LaFountain said.
Mr. Young was told of his suspension immediately after the board meeting. Officials did not have a time frame for the investigation to be completed.
Im cautiously optimistic the investigation will be short, Mr. McDougall said.
The suspension puts the police department in a bind over coverage as Mr. Young was one of four officers including one who is out on medical leave a sergeant and the chief who make up the force.
The department was struggling to maintain 24/7 coverage even with Mr. Young working.
Now its going to be even less, Chief Ayen said. It puts a strain on the other officers to cover more shifts.

After a hiatus of several years, the International Days Carbon Tennis Tournament was revived and held on Thursday, July 26 and Friday, July 27.
There were two divisions, adult (senior) and junior (18 and younger). All of the matches this year were singles matches.
The participants in the junior division were Hailey Bullard, Zach Clifford, John Musselman, Alex Richens, Andrew Richens, Cameron Shiner, Wyatt Whitmer and Zane Whitmer. Zach Clifford took a close championship match, winning in two sets, 6-4, 6-4 over Alex Richens. Zane Whitmer avenged an earlier round loss to Andrew Richens in the 3rd place consolation match, 6-1, 7-5.
In the adult division there were only four participants. They were Jim Brooks, Nick Mahleres, Robert Richens, and Pete Riggs. Nick Mahleres won 6-3, 6-1 over Pete Riggs for 1st place and Robert Richens defeated Jim Brooks 6-1, 6-2 for third place.
All of the participants enjoyed the tournament and felt that it was an overall success. We would invite all tennis players, young and old to participate in next year's tourney, when we plan on expanding the tournament by adding separate boys', girls', and women's division as well as doubles to the mix.
If anyone is interested in playing tennis with other players from the community of all skill levels and abilities, please contact one of the high school tennis coaches, Pete Riggs (boys) 435-630-1991 or Tom Alleman (girls) 435-650-9661.

I'm curious what the Bible says about Luck. Is this something that is a real occurrence or is every little detail ordained and controlled by God (fate).
I searched biblegateway and did not find "luck" under NIV. Then I tried NASB. The closest thing I've found comes out the of Good News Translation (which I don't trust at all) and out of the book of Sirach (which I've never heard of).
Sirach 20:9 (GNT)
Bad luck can sometimes lead to success, and a stroke of good luck can sometimes lead to loss
There are more sayings in that book and translation, however, this really doesn't satisfy me, since I've never heard of the book of Sirach (and I really don't trust the Good News translation).
Is there biblical support for or against Luck?
Just to be clear, I'm referring to Luck as the random chance--coincidence--that brings good or bad fortune. I'm not referring to an external force that influences the good or bad that happens in our lives.
Clearly, if there is an external force that brings us good or bad fortune, that could be directly attributed to God, Satan, demons, or angels from a biblical/Christian stance.
Scope: Just to be clear, I'm interested primarily in the Protestant Bible, but I'm willing to accept Catholic translations and Deuterocanonical books.

POTSDAM - The Home Team decided matters in a shootout after the Away Team pulled even in the final seconds of the 2013 Section 10 Exceptional Seniors Hockey Game at Clarksons Cheel Arena on Thursday.
A total of 24 seniors were split into two teams of 12 with the Home Team, made up of players from the Division II teams and coached by Chris Marshall of Alexandria Central, going up against the Away Team which was comprised mainly of Division I players and coached by Massenas Mike Trimboli.
The Away Team broke through for the first goal of the game when Potsdams Robbie Scott finished off a two-on-one centering pass from Salmon Rivers Naylen Laffin midway through the first 25-minute period.
The Home Team generated the next three goals late in the first period with OFAs Brandon Mullin knotting the score at 1-1 assisted by the St. Lawrence Central duo of Blake Baldwin and Ian Lynch. Lynch the combined with Mullin and his OFA teammate Jake Garrison for the go-ahead goal before Mullin made it 3-1 with an unassisted goal with two minutes left in the period.
The Away Team battled back to tie the game with the next two goals. Salmon Rivers Jarid Gray knocked home the rebound of a shot by teammate Ryan Thomas before Laffin knotted the score at 3-3 when he converted off an assist from Massenas Grayson Phillips with 13:30 left in regulation.
The Home Team regained the lead five minutes later after Alexandrias Zach Waldi, who competed for the Islanders this past winter, finished off a strong rush up the right wing by slipping a low shot past Potsdams Devon Crary for an unassisted goal.
The Away Team pulled Crary with just under a minute left in regulation and after a clutch save by Thomas covering the empty crease, the puck wound up on the stick of Laffin who went in to score a breakaway goal with 11.2 seconds left to send the teams to the shootout where the Home Team pulled out a 2-1 win through five rounds.
Cantons Jay Proulx got the Away Team off to a promising start when he beat SLC netminder Nate McLaughlin with a wicked wristshot into the top right corner but that would be the only goal surrendered by the lanky Larries backstop the rest of the shootout. Baldwin forced the extra rounds of shootout when he slipped a backhander past Crary in the third round. After back-to-back saves in the next round, Franklin Academys Kelsey Head clinched the win for the Home Team when he followed a miss by Thomas by lifting a backhander into the top right corner.
McLaughlin finished with 29 saves working the Home Team crease while Crary handled 16 shots for the Away Team.
Also contributing toward the Home Team win were Jarek Crump, Eric Lynch and Isaac Beckstead from St. Lawrence Central along with OFAs Gian Rufa, and Zac Natali of Alexandria. Rounding out the Away Team effort were Franklin Academys Cameron Daniels, EJ Curtis of Canton and Potsdams Ryan McDonald.

The New York Rangers were not the only ones to lose an
overtime heartbreaker in game 3 as the Greenville Road Warriors also dropped
their game 3 to the Cincinnati Cyclones 5-4.
Here is Andy Zilch's report of the game: Greenville, SC: The Road Warriors were
defeated 5-4 in overtime by the Cincinnati Cyclones Thursday night despite
gaining a 2-0 lead in the first period.
Andrew Yogan gave the
Road Warriors an early lead 5:35 into the first period when he scored an
unassisted shorthanded goal on Rob Madore for his sixth goal of the playoffs.
It was the Road Warriors fourth shorthanded goal in two games. Bretton Stamler
increased Greenville's lead to 2-0 with 37.9 seconds left in the period when he
ripped a low shot past Madore. The period ended with the Road Warriors up by
two goals.
Cincinnati started the
second period by scoring 1:18 into the frame when Zach Budish slipped a shot
past Jason Missiaen to cut the Road
Warriors lead to one. Josh Shalla tied the game at two eight minutes later when
he ripped a wide-open shot from the slot past Missiaen. After the goal,
Missiaen left the game with an injury and did not return. The Road Warriors
regained the lead after Scott Arnold scored on Madore off a rebound from a shot
from Michael St. Croix immediately
off a faceoff win from Andrew Rowe. With 4:26 left in the period, Cincinnati
tied the game at 3-3 after Brian Nuget tipped a shot past Jeff Malcolm, who
took over in net after Missian departed.
The third period
remained tied 3-3 until Budish slipped a shot past Malcolm late in the period.
The goal came after a save off a shot from Shalla. Kyle Jean tied the game with 47 second left when he sunk a rebound
shot past Madore with Andrew Rowe and Josh
Nicholls awarded the assists. The period ended tied at four, forcing the
game into overtime. Just 16 seconds into the overtime, Jonathan Hazen scored
past Malcolm to win the game 5-4. The Road Warriors now trail 2-1 in the Conference

Cognitive behavioral therapy for children with autism and anxiety.
|No Intervention: Waitlist
Detailed Description:
Anxiety disorders are commonly diagnosed in children with autism, Asperger syndrome (AS), and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). Anxiety disorders contribute to children's functional impairment over and above the functional deficits attributable to autism, AS, and PDD-NOS. Thus, investigators have called for the development of anxiety treatments for this population (Attwood, 2003). Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be efficacious for anxiety disorders in typically developing children. This pilot study will advance the field by providing an estimate of the treatment effects of CBT for anxiety disorders among children with autism, AS, or PDD-NOS. The sample will include 20 children aged 7-11 years with autism, AS, or PDD-NOS and a comorbid anxiety disorder. Children will be randomly assigned to immediate treatment or a 3-month waitlist. The manualized CBT program includes traditional anxiety treatment components including coping skills training (e.g., cognitive restructuring), in vivo exposure, operant procedures, and parent training. Additional treatment components have been added to enhance intervention response in children with AS or PDD-NOS, including emotion education, social skills/friendship skills training, and peer tutoring/mentoring modules. Trained graduate students with expertise in CBT and developmental disabilities will serve as therapists. Treatment fidelity will be checked using a session-by-session adherence checklist. Treatment acceptability and consumer satisfaction will be assessed at posttreatment, providing guidance on the extent to which the manual will need to be revised. Multiple measures of children's anxiety, including a structured diagnostic interview administered by an independent evaluator, will comprise the primary outcomes. Children's social functioning, adaptive behavior, and service use will also be assessed to determine if CBT can affect relevant distal outcomes. By comparing outcomes for children in the immediate treatment group versus those in the waitlist group, we will estimate effect sizes of CBT for this population. Subsequently, power analyses will be conducted in planning for a larger clinical trial. This study could contribute to public health efforts to address the mental health needs of the rising number of children diagnosed with autism-spectrum disorders. If CBT is found to be efficacious, it will be the first evidence-based psychological treatment to be successfully adapted for children with autism, AS, and PDD-NOS.

The With You All the Way program, in partnership with the Trevor Romain Company and the Comfort Crew for Military Kids, supports children ages six to 18 as they tackle the difficult issues unique to growing up in a military family.
As an inspirational humorist, President and Co-Founder of the Trevor Romain Company, Trevor Romain teaches real-life lessons for children, such as dealing with bullies, facing fears, coping with divorce and understanding grief.
The With You All the Way program reaches military children in three areas: With You All the Way tour, With You All the Way support kits, and resources specifically targeted to children of our nation's wounded, ill or injured service men and women.
The With You All the Way tour performances are led by Romain and provide him with an opportunity to listen to what children are experiencing and help them cope and express themselves in positive ways. The USO offers With You All the Way support kits that help children and caregivers as they cope with serious issues such as deployment, separation and reintegration. The kit's contents vary by audience, but all contain a journal to encourage children to face their fears and anxieties, document joyful days and overall express those feelings unique to their military childhood.
For those children whose loved one returns home with a visible and/or invisible wound, the USO and Trevor Romain offer support in the form of tailored presentations and support kits to help them cope with the challenges of reintegration and their "new normal." When children are faced with the ultimate sacrifice, the loss of their loved one, the With You All the Way program provides memory boxes and comfort kits with comprehensive resources that are informative and most importantly, supportive for children and their families coping with loss.
Your $50 donation can provide two family deployment kits to the troops and their families.

Taste of Chaos: The Used, Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World
San Manuel Amphitheater - San Bernardino, CA
Jimmy Eat World Ticket Information
Formed in the early 90s, Jimmy Eat World eventually went on to become a leading figure in the alt-rock and emo genres at the turn of the millennium and has remained a well-known name in the industry ever since.

With lead vocalist Jim Adkins at the helm, Jimmy Eat World has gone on to release several more popular albums, shifting to a slightly more mature sound while maintaining its original rock-pop-tinged flavor. See this memorable rock outfit play your favorite tracks live when you order Jimmy Eat World tickets from Vivid Seats.

Separation strategy for amphoteric molecules. If the molecule is stable at a pH above its pl, an anion exchange support is used. If the molecule is stable at a pH below its pl, a cation exchange support is used.
Bio-Rex 5 resins are weak anion exchangers that contain primarily tertiary but also some quaternary amines on a styrenedivinylbenzene lattice. Bio-Rex 5 resins exchange anions such as iodide, bromide, and chloride with weak interactions, allowing easy elution and regeneration. Bio-Rex 5 resins have an affinity for organic acids that can be used to remove acids from sugars.
Bio-Rex 5 resins are available in two dry mesh sizes (100–200 and 200–400) and are all analytical grade purity. They have been exhaustively sized, purified, and converted to make them suitable for accurate, reproducible analytical techniques.
Larger volumes and special packaging for industrial applications are available on request.

The Unlocked Acer Liquid Metal is the most recent smart phone offering from Acer and has been a highly anticipated device for a good reason - it has a robust feature list that make it ideal for users that are looking to get a top of the line phone without having to pay top of the line prices. The Acer Liquid Metal is easily one of the best devices that the company has offered.
It will utilize the Qualcomm 7230 800 MHz processor that will allow you to navigate through the phone at a lighting fast rate. Along with the great processor, the phone will use Android Froyo Version 2.2, which reportedly allows devices to browse from one screen to another nearly five times as quick. The internet features have also been upgraded, including a new browser that has the flash support that was mysteriously missing in earlier versions of the device and a Social Jogger app that allows you to easily aggregate your Facebook and Twitter fees for one streamlined feed that allows you to easily keep up with the updates from all of your friends and family.
Along with the great additions to the surfing power of the device, it will also feature a 5 mega pixel camera (with LED flash) that will allow you to record HD video at 720p, or what translates to 30 frames per second. The Liquid Metal will also allow you to use the enhanced high resolution videos and play them straight through the device, which features an HDMI out port that makes it easy for you to play the videos that you record directly through the television.
All in all, the Acer Liquid Metal Unlocked handset is a great offering that has stepped its game up in nearly every aspect since it was first released. The phone is constantly updating the audio technology, surfing abilities and specs that have made it one of the most highly anticipated phones on the market since it was first announced.

So far, all the focus has been on new construction to fill a need for rental housing for Fort Drum soldiers.
But Neighbors of Watertown Inc. is putting together a $2 million to $2.5 million program to rehabilitate the areas existing rental housing stock. The program would target Fort Drum soldiers and moderate-income tenants.
Neighbors executive director Gary C. Beasley, who is spearheading the efforts, said he fears that existing rental housing will deteriorate as tenants move into new apartment complexes and their old apartments become vacant.
As part of those efforts, Neighbors submitted a grant application to the North Country Regional Economic Council by todays deadline to seek $1 million in funding from the Empire State Development to fix up rental housing.
Itll add to the housing stock and revitalize the community, he said.
The Development Authority of the North Country has agreed to contribute $250,000 in matching funding. About $1.2 million would also come from the Jefferson County and city of Watertown Community Development Block Grant programs, and the remaining amount from the states Homes and Community Renewal agency.
The use of ESD funding in this way would be unique, Mr. Beasley said.
Plans call for setting up a revolving loan program for landlords, much as ones used for small business projects. The program would provide landlords low-interest loans to fix up their properties.
Prospective tenants would be Fort Drum soldiers or civilian households with incomes above 80 percent median incomes, which usually do not quality for traditional state funding for rental rehab work, he said.
Its also difficult for the private sector to obtain conventional financing from a bank for these kind of apartments, Mr. Beasley said.
The target area would be a 20-mile radius of Fort Drum, including the city of Watertowns deteriorating housing stock.
Landlords could borrow as much as $20,000 per unit for such work as moderate rehabs, getting units up to building codes and fixing health and safety problems. As Mr. Beasley envisions it, the program would handle rental housing with one to 12 units, but would focus on buildings that have one to four units.
On Wednesday, Mr. Beasley and Neighbors were still working to see if the ESD would be able to fund the $1 million, he said. They got the go-ahead and he planned to work on the application through the weekend.
Mr. Beasley brought up the $1 million application at Thursdays Advantage Watertown meeting. In recent months, he and an ad-hoc housing committee have been discussing ways to improve Watertowns rental housing stock.
I think its a good idea, said John K. Bartow Jr., executive director of the Tug Hill Commission.
Not only would it improve rental housing, neighborhoods would get a boost, it would add to the tax base, provide jobs for local contractors and could continue into the future as landlords pay back the 3 percent loans, officials said.
To meet the need for more than 1,000 rental units for soldiers, apartment complexes have sprung up in the town and city of Watertown and the town of LeRay in the past couple of years.

The President, with respect to the Executive agencies, may extend the 60-day period for not more than 120 additional days if he determines that the extension of the period is in the interest of the United States.

For Sale: I have 2 snow tires. They are Glacier Grips and they have about 1/2 of the life left in them The size is 215 50/R17. The were on a Mazda 6 and it made a world of difference to have snow tires. New they are 150.00 each I am selling them for 30.00 each. Anyone interested can call828-773-4418. I also have a husqvarna self propelled lawn mower that I am giving away for FREE. I got it running this fall but couldn't keep it running. It is not very useful right now but if someone can fix it up this winter it will be great for next summer. The same phone # is good.
