St. Anthony's Church, 850 Arsenal St., is celebrating its centennial this year and it has a new stained-glass window for the milestone.
The large round window in the choir loft, overlooking the street, was replaced Wednesday by Lynchburg Stained Glass, of Lynchburg, Va.
In November 1903, Monsignor Joseph H. Conroy, as Vicar General and Administrator of the Diocese of Ogdensburg, gave permission to Rev. Onesime A. Boyer to build a church in the "flats," a mostly Italian neighborhood on the city's west end.
In 1920, Rev. Claude Sechi, a native of Italy, announced plans for what for what was to become a long-term project on Arsenal Street. Work started in 1921, but was stopped due to a lack of funds. For the next nine years, the partial structure was the place of worship for the Italian congregation.
Not until at least $30,000 had been raised would the bishop of Ogdensburg allow construction to resume. To meet that challenge, a drive was conducted in which parish members purchased bricks for the structure.
That accomplished, work resumed on April 5, 1930. A $35,000 mortgage was obtained four months later, covering the balance of the total cost of $75,000. Over the next six to seven months, an old house that had served as St. Anthony's Chapel was again filling that role. Come September 1930, the anticipated completion of the new church seemed a distance off.
The work was coming along, but funds were running out. A parishioner, Cosimo Renzi, a 46-year-old founder of Renzi Brothers wholesale grocery company, was compelled to speak out in his position as chairman of the building and financial drive committees.
To the people who were failing to keep up on their pledges for the construction, he appealed, "The quicker we receive the money, the sooner the church will be completed."
His words apparently served well. The current church was dedicated Dec. 14, 1930.

Read: How A Young Marian Gaborik Was Looked At
In the fall of 1999, months before he was selected third overall by Minnesota, Marian Gaborik was considered to be the top prospects in the NHL draft.
Pierre McGuire wrote in SI at the time that many scouts were raving about a 17 year old Gaborik who he called an "explosive offensive force who has a good chance to be the No. 1 pick in the June entry draft.
That spring the New York Islanders won the draft lottery and Gaborik, along with Dany Heatley, were considered the top two choices for the Islanders.
Hockey's Future said at the time, "Gaborik projects as a speedy game breaker, something the Isles desperatley need since the departure of Ziggy Palffy. Gaborik scored 25 goals in 50 games in the Slovak Men's league and averaged almost a point a game. He starred at the World U-18 team with 6 goals and 8 points in 6 games for a weak Slovakian team."
They add that the Islanders could trade the pick and try to acquire a veteran defenseman which, at the time, was considered their biggest need.
At the draft the Islanders held onto the first overall pick but traded Roberto Luongo and Olli Jokinen to the Panthers for Oleg Kvasha and Mark Parrish. They also traded future Ranger Kevin Weekes to get the fifth overall pick. Having traded two goalies, the Islanders selected Rick DiPietro with the first overall pick.
A year later, in November 2001, Nathan Robinson wrote at Hockey's Future that big things were ahead for Gaborik.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
For over three decades Bert Collins mined coal full time.
Now he spends that time mining the soil around his house.
Collins is one of the growing number of Americans finding that produce they buy at the store is not what they want. And finding farmers markets where things are grown in an organic way is not only time consuming but costly to say the least.
For 30 years Collins and his wife, Mary, have been perfecting organic gardening at their home in west Price, and neighbors, friends, as well as the food back have been the beneficiaries of that work.
"My motto is to treat the soil in your garden like you treat your checkbook," said Collins as he spends time going through a gardening catalogue to show off all the natural kinds of ingredients it takes to raise a successful organic garden. "You never want to take out more than you put back in."
According to Collins, in his experience, the reason some gardeners fail to produce what they want is because of this principal. The former Plateau Mining employee, who retired from the underground work in 1995, says that many people just plant stuff in what appears to be good enough soil and expect it to produce great harvests just because they water it. It just doesn't work that way.
"There is a lot of difference between gardens as he spreads his arms out denoting the quarter acre he has in garden beds in front of his house. "This used to be just an old hay field when we bought this lot and put our house on it 30 years ago. The soil was alkaline, like much of the soil around here. In our garden we have changed that."
With that he said one other important thing for potential organic gardeners to take note of.
"Much of the top soil that people buy comes from someone elses basement being dug," he said. "You need to make your own top soil."
Most people wouldn't have an inkling of how to do that. They might know that adding some organics to a patch of soil and maybe some sand to it if it is clay is enough. But Collins has a process, and tests prove it.
In 2004 Collins had A & L Western Agricultural Laboratories come to his home and test the soil. He wanted to know how successful his years of soil care and soil building had been. He thought if it wasn't right then he would find out what it would take to fix it.
"I was amazed," he said. "They told me that the soil I had in my garden looked like it came from the central valley of California (one of the richest areas for soil in the United States) and, that in fact I had the best soil for growing vegetables in Utah."
Best of all, in Collin's mindwas that the soil tested almost as good as dirt can test for a lack of pesticides and other additives.
For some the idea of organic gardening is that a plot of ground is tilled and then plants or seeds are placed in it and they are watered. No additives or extras of any kind. But Collins says that organic gardening is nothing like that.
"The difference is developing and then taking care of the soil once it has reached the proper level for getting good yields.
And it doesn't mean putting up with small yields or food that has been infested with bugs.
"There are so many natural ways to control pests in the garden and to still grow large yields without having to apply chemicals to the garden," said Collins. "That doesn't mean not applying anything though."
Collins got interested in organic gardening years ago when he realized he had two kids to feed and the budget didn't stretch as far as he would have like it to. He began reading everything he could on that type of gardening and realized it would be better for his family.
"It's a teamwork thing," he said. "I couldn't do it without my wife. We are both still learning each and every year."
Collins has a number of books about gardening, but there are a couple of catalogues he relies on each year to pick out the right things to get good results. Rather than sitting back, putting on water, and pulling some weeds, the activity that Collins puts into his garden is the reason results are great.
As he pulled out the list of things he uses on his garden and has used over the years, it was obvious the type of gardening he does is not simple, and it's certainly not cheap either.
"Some of the things we use are expensive, but it still beats paying high prices for things we don't like to eat half as much.
The list of things he has put in the soil to build is long. And each year those things must be replenished.
To a certain extent Collins uses crop rotation to rebuild the soil. Rotation is a practice used by farmers for years, and gardeners should use it too. Plant a crop in one place one year and then rotate something else there the next year.
"What one plant pulls out of the ground, another will replace that substance the next year," he said. "Sometimes letting it lay fallow with some kind of neutral crop on it is helpful too."
While there are a number of kinds of non-vegetable crops to use for a year to help the soil recover, Collins says he likes to plant buckwheat.
"I plant it, let it grow, till it under, let it grow again and then till it under before I put that section back in service," he said. "The buckwheat is excellent for that because it has hollow stems that break up and decompose easily."
When it comes to natural additives, Collins spends a lot of time thinking about what he might do. And he has a lot of things to think about. His list can include all or some of dozens of natural minerals and substances that he can purchase locally.
Those include sulfur, gypsum, fish or fish oil, calcium sulfate, hubic acid, iron sulfate, rock dust (a Utah product), composted manure, and jersey green sand, along with many others.
"Then there is seaweed," he said. "Seaweed is the best fertilizer I have ever seen."
He also adds soybean meal, alfalfa pellets, as well as bone and blood meal.
"A lot of people like to use sewage sludge, but I hate that idea," he said. "It's not only distasteful to work with, but can have a lot of heavy metals in it. I just don't use it."
The additives, which are not all applied before plantings, but often during the season, are not all there is to building good, usable soil.
"Organics are very important," said Collins. "I see my lawn as a crop, not grass clippings I have to find a way to dispose of. And leaves are great for composting and mulching into the garden."
In a nutshell, waste not want not.
He also believes in earthworms, those slimy, slippery long critters that make lawns bumpy and many people use for fishing.
"A good population of earth worms in the dirt, denotes good soil," he says. "They help in many different ways including in aerating the soil."
In this area water is always of concern too. But Collins, who has no secondary water system and must rely on city water to raise his garden thinks that if the soil is right and gardeners make good plans, water is not near as much of an issue as it is if they do things the wrong way.
"I use drip irrigation on my entire garden and my water bill for the garden is never over $25 a month," he stated. As for what plants to raise, Collins says he has found some over the years he likes the best, but that it is, after all, a personal preference.
"If you have reputable suppliers, pick plants that are virus resistant and treat the soil right you can grow most anything that will survive in this climate," he said.
Over the years one of the things he said he has come to enjoy the most about his gardening tradition is how nature works.
"My garden, at different times, attracts lots of bees, many different kinds of birds and even bats," he said. "It can be just spectacular watching all the wildlife come and go at my place."
Last fall the Collins' had so much produce that they gave 1000 lbs. of it to the Carbon Food Bank.
"I give alot away and sell some, but it is more about producing it and seeing it come to maturity that is thrilling," he says. "This year I think I am going to try and grow one of those 1500 lb. pumpkins you are always seeing on the news."
So if you are driving around this fall and seen a house near the hospital with a big orange orb growing in the garden, that could well be the Collins home, where the tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers and garlic grow in tremendous quantities.
"This is what I do, and I couldn't enjoy it more," he concluded.

Kick-off Seminar for the International Fairtrade Action Network
Pro Fair Trade Finland initiates the development of an international network of Fairtrade volunteers, the Fairtrade Action Network.
The first seminar of the International Fairtrade Action Network will take place in Helsinki, Finland from 5-7 October 2007.
Are you experienced or willing to learn more about Fairtrade volunteer activities? If so, join the effort for the development of the international Fairtrade movement! We are looking for people who are enthusiastic about spreading information about Fairtrade and willing to shape a Europe-wide mission of Fairtrade volunteerism. If you are interested in creating a new international network for campaigning and sharing ideas around Fairtrade advocacy, this seminar is meant for you.
The seminar will address the following questions:
- What is Fairtrade and why is it important?
- How can I campaign for Fairtrade in my community/country?
- Where can I get resources and ideas for action for Fairtrade?
- How and why join forces internationally to campaign for Fairtrade?
Guest speakers:
- Miles Litvinoff, Author of the book 50 Reasons to Buy Fair Trade, UK
- Liana Foxvog, SweatFreeCommunities, USA
- Emma Enebog, General secretary, Rättvisemärkt, Sweden
- Tuulia Syvänen, Managing director, Association for Promoting
Fairtrade in Finland
About Fairtrade Action Network:
Fairtrade Action Network is a new international project of Pro Fair Trade Finland, financed by the European Commission. Pro Fair Trade Finland is an NGO that has worked in close co-operation since its founding in 2000 with the Finnish FLO member organization (Association for Promoting Fairtrade in Finland). Our mission is to promote just and ecologically sustainable world trade.
Fairtrade Action Network is planned to serve as a platform for active volunteers promoting Fairtrade around the world. For this cause we are also building a website to serve as a tool in exchanging materials and ideas between volunteers in different countries (photographs licensed for volunteer use etc). Pro Fair Trade Finland has the resources to host the initial activities of the network and hold a follow-up meeting during 2008.
This project aims to networking volunteers from different countries to aid them in promoting and campaigning for Fairtrade either individually or through their own organization. We hope to find participants who are willing to actively participate in the seminar program and are committed to plan the future steps of the international volunteer network. The participants should prepare to give a small presentation of themselves and the work that their organization is currently doing to promote Fairtrade (or future plans). We also hope that participants can bring samples of their campaign materials.
Fees and travel expenses:
For people accepted in the seminar, the participation, meals and accommodation are free of charge. We are inviting altogether 40 participants from different countries.
The participants or their organizations are expected to cover each participants travel cost. However, to ensure a diverse and balanced group of participants with people of different countries, ages, NGOs, backgrounds and education levels Pro Fair Trade Finland is able to give a limited amount of travel grants to participants. To apply for a grant attach details of your travel budget, method of transport and the amount of support you are applying for.

PREGAME: Toronto at the Isles, 7:05pmThe Day After Xmas
6:40pm UPDATE: Yes, in a mindboggling move, Rick DiPietro is taking the bulk of shots in warmups and would appear to be the starter, which has been a hot rumor when I got the Coliseum. No stop at Bridgeport. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. But do start in goal.
3:40pm UPDATE: Per the always excellent Mike Fornabaio, the Isles have returned Ben Walter and Joe Callahan back to Bridgeport. Evidently, Mike Sillinger and Bruno Gervais are ready to return to the lineup tonight.
I hope everyone had a good holiday, whatever you celebrate.
Well, it's no great secret on what GM Garth Snow might have asked Santa this Xmas. These are difficult days on Long Island and the air is thick with the hope for fans, players, coach and GM that they can snap out of it. Well, unless you are are focused on the next draft picks. It was only a month ago when some were wondering if we can reach .500. Since then, it has been a steady drop with many questions, injuries, and a lot of soul-searching.
LOSING THE MENTAL GAME: The last two games were closer affairs with the Isles keeping within arm's length of their competition. This is some good news as compared to some of the more disturbing crash and burns like versus the Penguins and the Wild. If this string of losses had all been close games, with the team going all out playing as if it was November, there would be a lot less questions. Instead, we have seen a myriad of injuries, a defense that has looked gaping, an offense unable to score, and some sniping on the system itself. Coach Scott Gordon has seemed to become stiffer and acting as if besieged by press and situation. This tightening and almost wounded visage by the Isles might be indicative of losing the mental game even before they play the physical one.
"Our last two losses were tight games. We have to stay loose and stay ready to work. Our biggest asset is our work ethic. We don't come in and mope around. We keep it loose, and we keep focused."
– Bill Guerin
As Bill Guerin alluded to in his post-games comments versus the Thrashers earlier this week, it is supremely important not to come into this game stuck on their December malaise. The mental capitulations will only leave them tight, anguished, and just waiting for another wheel to come off.
The Maple Leafs come to town winning their 5 of their last 7 games. That streak was started with their last win over the Isles, coming off a three-game skid. Their last game, however, was a 8-2 drubbing courtesy of the Dallas Stars. So the Leafs come in looking to make things right against the Isles who have been in freefall. The Toronto press has written that the game against the Isles "might be a Yuletide gift."
Doug Weight did not play Tuesday, and I will try to find out if he is going to play today. Stay tuned here for updates later on, plus I will be on-hand tonight for the recap.
For your reading enjoyment, here is my news item about the Lighthouse Project which caused a bit of stir.
REMINDER: Please adhere new-look Comments space wishes of Chris's
More later…BD

SOUTH BUFFALO, N.Y. - Whether you're looking to dive into a good book or a plate of stuffed french toast, the Dog Ears Bookstore and Cafe is one of those hidden gems you have to check out.
Nestled in South Buffalo on Abbott Road near Cazenovia Park, the cafe is a recent addition to the bookstore that's been there a few years now. The non-profit running the bookstore took over the space in January after a previous cafe closed in hopes of becoming self-sustaining.
Besides offering the latest reads, the bookstore has literacy programs focusing on every age group from small children to adults- aimed at fostering a lifelong love of reading. You can check out the programs on the events calendar here.
"The school system can't do it all," says chief cook Bridget English. "So we really need people to step up and help where we can and do what we can to raise those literacy rates."
The bookstore follows schools' summer reading lists, so it's a good place for parents to check as the school year comes to an end.

(NEWS CENTER) -- Democrats in the Maine Legislature spent Monday trying to get the message out that THEY have the best plan to pay off Maine's hospitals.
But Republicans say linking it to expanding Maine's Medicaid program isn't the way to do it. Now legislators are at a impasse over what to do; and time is running out.
We ask NEWS CENTER political analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling the same kinds of questions people across the State are asking: Why does it seem the parties can't sit down and hammer out something to which everyone can agree? And why does it seem legislators spend more time getting their message out than getting the people's business done?

Jefferson County has asked a federal judge to dismiss an age discrimination lawsuit brought by a retired Jefferson Community College administrator, contending, among other things, that her claims are time barred under statute of limitations.
Gail W. Miller, Chaumont, the schools former director of college outreach, filed suit May 22 in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, against the college, its board of trustees, Jefferson County, college President Carole A. McCoy and Sarah H. Baldwin, the colleges former vice president of administration, alleging her job was eliminated in 2010 in retaliation for her complaining to the trustees about age discrimination in 2008.
Mrs. Miller, who had worked at the college since 1994, claims that she was promoted early in her career and for years received excellent performance reviews. However, she claims that as she grew older, she was treated differently than younger employees and that, instead of resolving her complaints about age issues, the defendants collaborated on how to terminate her employment.
In January 2009, she received an unfavorable employment review for the first time in her career and was provided a plan to improve her performance. Six months later, she was offered the newly created position of executive director of college outreach, which she started in June 2009. She claims the job was created in an effort to simply get rid of her. She maintains she was given an office that was nothing more than a former closet and in an area targeted for renovation. She claims that the office was water-damaged and the rug was filthy and that the room often was cold, causing her to have asthma attacks.
In April 2010, she was informed that her position was being eliminated in the schools budget and that if she wanted another job on campus she would have to apply for it, despite the fact that one of her former positions was open, albeit with a different title. Her contract, however, called for her to be given a years notice before her job could be eliminated.
About four months before her job was due to be eliminated, she claims, she was forced to retire for the sole purpose of maintaining the benefits of retirement including payments of health care insurance during (her) lifetime. If she had not retired, and her job was eliminated, she would have lost the benefits.
In a response filed earlier this month by the countys attorney, Robert C. Weissflach, Buffalo, the county contends the action was brought too late under law and should be dismissed. According to a memorandum of law in support of a motion to dismiss the complaint, Mrs. Millers action based on retaliation under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act should be time-barred because she failed to file a federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charge within the statutorily required 300 days of when the events complained about occurred. Filing a charge with the EEOC is a prerequisite to bringing a lawsuit under ADEA.
Mr. Weissflach further maintains that the retaliation claims should be dismissed because her complaint fails to state a plausible claim. It is argued that there is not a sufficient causal connection between her complaint to the trustees and any alleged adverse action taken, including the elimination of her job. It is maintained that the elimination of her job did not occur for nearly two years after she filed a grievance with the trustees.
Judge Norman A. Mordue has given Mrs. Millers attorney, Cheryl L. Sovern, Clifton Park, until Monday to respond to the countys motion to dismiss.

Man stabbed six times near downtown Eugene bars
EUGENE, Ore. -- A man was stabbed six times at around midnight Friday during a fight downtown, Eugene Police said.
The man, Matthew John Smith, 29, is reported to be in stable condition at Sacred Heart at Riverbend in Springfield.
At around midnight Friday Eugene Police responded to a stabbing reported near the intersection of W Broadway and Olive Streets, close to multiple bars in downtown Eugene.
Police arrived to find Smith bleeding from six stab wounds inflicted during a fight near the intersection.
Sergeant Kyle Williams with the Eugene Police Department told Oregon News Lab reporter Joseph Stefan that Smith was in a fight with one other person.
"I don't know what the reason for the altercation was. They were in some sort of argument," said Sgt. Williams. "We have some investigative leads that we're following up on currently. We do not have anyone in custody and we're not releasing any names at this point."
He was taken to Sacred Heart and treated for the significant, yet non-life threatening injuries.
Anyone with information about the stabbing is asked to call Eugene Police at 541-682-5111.

On March 4, the Canyon Country Ranchers Association announced the Kanab-based group's intent to challenge the United States Bureau of Land Manage-ment's decision to retire four large grazing allotments on the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
"Apparently, the BLM has adopted a policy that would eliminate grazing from the monument. Those opposed to grazing operate under a misguided philosophy that our public lands should be managed strictly for preservation purposes," pointed out Worth Brown, association chairman. "Documents we have obtained under the Freedom of Information Act indicate that the BLM has also adopted this philosophy, at least as far as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is concerned."
The cattlemen contend that the environmental assessments allowing the retirement of the grazing allotments were "sham documents written solely to facilitate a sweetheart deal with the Grand Canyon Trust ... the BLM tossed valid range science out the window in an attempt to eliminate grazing permits at the behest of the preservation group."
"The environmental assessments are a total misrepresentation of the facts and a complete distortion of monument policy," maintained Brown.
The association alleges the assessments were based on the trust's negotiations to buy out ranchers rather than on valid agency action or range conditions. The trust purportedly approached stockmen and offered cash payments to purchase of a voluntary relinquishment security interest in connection with the allotments. The contracts obligate the cattlemen to turn in grazing permits to the BLM before the federal agency can eliminate grazing from an allotment. Under normal procedures, grazing on an allotment would continue under a different permittee, explained Brown.
The cattlemen group claims that the BLM violated the law by deciding to eliminate grazing before completing the planning documents. The issue is not whether a rancher can sell an allotment - allotments are bought and sold frequently. The issue is whether a preservation organization can purchase a grazing permit, then secretly negotiate an agreement with the BLM to permanently retire the permit, concluded the cattlemen group.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate reporter
Helper City is getting ready to launch its first project in eight years to upgrade its aging water system. In about two weeks, work will begin on installing an eight-inch line to serve the commercial-industrial area on the south end of town.
Councilman Gary Harwood said Thursday the 1,300 feet of new PVC pipe will replace the 1.5 inch pipe that now is the conduit for about nine businesses in the area.
At its last meeting, the council decided to go ahead with the $40,000 project after hearing that the old pipe is not adequate to handle the growth anticipated at Waste and Water Logistics. WWL owner Jesse McCourt told the council that his trucks haul water to oil and gas rigs as far away as Roosevelt and demand is growing.
Currently those trucks are carrying about 12,000 gallons per week to distant customers. McCourt said that could go to 36,000. The smaller pipe would not be able to handle that volume and still provide adequate flow to other customers along the line.
Last month, the city finalized its new fee structure, which is designed to provide a base of funding to improve its culinary water system. Many of the underground pipes were installed 50 years ago or longer and have been sprouting leaks on nearly a weekly basis.
Mayor Dean Armstrong noted last year that the emergency repairs had been soaking up money that would be better spent fixing the underlying problem. Armstrong repeated that point at the Feb. 3 council meeting, adding infrastructure improvements make economic development feasible and also help reduce business expenses on commercial fire insurance.
The city has since been working with engineering consultants to work up an overall plan for improvements on its water, sewer and storm drainage.

Minus The Gong
Posted on February 12, 2008Half and Half...1/2 the members making up 36 Crazyfists are currently in Alaska (vocalist Brock and drummer Thomas), the other half are in Portland writing new material for their second album (guitarist Steve and bassist Mick)...come the end of this week, all will be back in Portland, and all will be writing.
However, this time around, there will be something a bit different in the rehearsal room...what could it possibly be?
36 Crazyfists drummer Thomas Noonan stars in 'The Dream Kit...'
Yes, it's true. All the rumors you have heard are rumors no more...After months and months in the planning, Thomas is ordering a new drum kit - Orange County, a 4 piece kit.
Did You Know? Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison plays Orange County drums. True.
Thomas' new four piece will consist of a bass drum (20" by 20"), snare (14" by 4" 30 ply), and a floor tom (14" by 12") and rack tom (12" by 7").
Okay, so this is perhaps not the grandest of tales, but more a line to all the drummers out there who wonder what others play. And we thought that with Thomas being in the league he is as a drummer, all you players out there might enjoy knowing what he plays.
So, as for the rest of Thomas' set up, he uses DW double bass pedals and Zildjian cymbals (three of which he cracked whilst playing shows in the UK). His cymbal set up is as follows:
13" A custom hi-hats, 17" Z custom crash, 18" Z custom crash, 18" A custom crash, 18" K china, 20" K ride, 6" A splash, and 8" K splash.
As for Thomas' dream cymbal set up? Thomas tells, "I already have my dream cymbal set up, minus the 120" gong that I will set on fire every night!"
Final words: "OH YA BABY, I CANT FUCKIN WAIT FOR THAT SHIT!!!" That 'shit' of course being the Orange County bass drum and toms.
Thomas, thanks for the info...have a safe trip back to Portland, and we can't wait to start hearing the new music...

Approximately 70 people attended the event in Tokyo's Suginami Ward on May 18 to watch five individuals chow down on Sugiyama's cooked privates.
While cannibalism is not illegal in Japan per se, health officials in Tokyo are now investigating the event. According to The Mainichi, health officials are investigating to see if any food hygiene laws were broken during the event; however, the event sponsor said that no laws were broken in eating a human body part that was legally removed by a medical institution.
The Mainichi does not point out that, like in most countries, it's illegal to sell one's organs in Japan, which puts this meal in gray legal territory. You cannot even sell your own blood (blood donors get free drinks, instead). But, hey, charging people to eat your body parts is cool as long as you don't break hygiene laws? Sounds like a legal cock-up.

The right window ornaments can truly have an unmistakable effect in a room. Selecting the right style, composition, and shading of draperies can lend an extraordinary subtlety to a room that can be both down to earth and enlivening. Some window ornament styles work better with certain styles in a specific rooms than others. For example, colonial style window ornaments are traditional and homely in a household of custom and tradition, yet will clash against modern furniture.
A standout amongst blind styles is 'creased window' ornamentation, which is a style that has been around for hundreds of years. This treatment makes a custom-made appearance giving a room a more formal look. Creased window hangings come in various styles which offer an unmistakable panache to a room. Squeeze creases are a standout amongst the most established styles which come in five distinct varieties and are placed sequentially, along the fabric, giving it an outline. You can pick these up at Masters, in any state in Australia. Other designs include french creases, pencil creases, butterfly creases, and box creases. Whatever style of crease you choose will lend uniqueness to your curtains.
Tab-top window dressings are a more easy-going crease, generally chosen in light of the fact that they are transparent. Tab-tops comprise of circles that are sewn at the top edge of a fabric board which hang off a wood or metal bar. These draperies arrive in a wide collection of instant shading and fabric mixed bags. The poles can deal with any weight of window ornament and the shades can be tailored to any selected floor length.
Grommet-tip shades are like tab-tops, however use eyelets or grommets at the highest point of the shade. Likewise with tabs, the pole is uncovered and presents itself as a beautifying bar strung through grommets. These types of shades are well known in Sydney, Australia.
The grommet-tip is in high demand in Castle Hill, see more at: http://curtainscastlehill.blogspot.com.au/ where this type of drapery compliments a cutting edge modern room. In addition to tab-top and grommet-tip window design, the casement shade is for the most part an enriching wrap. Casement shades are rarely used. The highest point of the drape frames a pocket which a bar or shaft is strung through, and the pole is settled to the outside of the window outline and is hard to pull over. The wrap is normally left set up and pulled back to the sides with ties or hold backs.
These kinds of designs can be beautiful, and casement blinds can be given custom treatment for sheen and shine. Sheer drapes which are made of a lightweight harsh fabric are by and large utilized as a part of bathrooms. A present day utilization is for sentimental and contemporary insides as they relax the general look of a room when set with different sorts of window ornaments. They come in numerous hues and styles. They don't offer a great deal of protection when utilised alone. This gives you a decent premise of the different fundamental styles of window ornaments. They can be purchased from Bella Curtains StartLocal - Castle Hill Showroom over the phone, or you can do your research and learn to hand craft your design to match your bedroom.

For as much as modern design gets a bad rap for being unfriendly and even unsafe for children (which we hope we've disproved here), it's often seen as even less compatible with cats. Dogs, sure: you can train them to stay off the furniture, and all you have to do is clean up the shedding. But cats--cats are more independent. They like to make their own decisions about what they do and where they do it. If a cat decides your Barcelona chair is a comfortable place to sleep and claw, there's not too much you can do about it other than set up one of those carpet-clad cat gyms. Which are not exactly stylish, usually. Elizabeth Paige Smith discovered almost by accident that you can make furniture specifically for cats out of material that's perfect for clawing at: corrugated cardboard. She had a prototype chair, made of corrugated cardboard, that her cat Simon adopted as his personal perch. Based on his affinity for the cardboard, she designed a piece of cardboard furniture, specifically proportioned for cats, that was modern and attractive as well as ideal for Simon. From that original Kittypod design, Smith branched out into a variety of cardboard furnishings, all uniquely functional and attractive. Some of them even double as people furniture, but your cat will always know the truth: he (or she) is the one who runs the place now.

Looking for a quick, easy and delicious JELL-O dessert recipe? This one is a definite crowd pleaser.
Raspberry Holiday JIGGLERS
Step 7.
Cut into 36 squares; top with raspberries right before serving. Or for a fun holiday twist, cut into a snowflake shapes using a snowflake cookie cutter. Top with raspberries or put into between two snowflakes to create fun JIGGLERS sandwiches!
Part of HuffPost Food Group
JELL-O is a classic dessert. I remember the excitement I would feel when my mom would make her big bowl of jiggly JELL-O (with fruit, of course) for me as a little girl. Now as a mom of two little girls, I get to experience what it is like on the other end as I see my daughter's faces light up when they take a big spoon full of delicious sweet JELL-O.
This Sparkling Raspberry JIGGLERS recipe put a fun twist on the classic JELL-O recipe by adding a fun layer. I decided to give it another twist by cutting them into snowflakes and putting the raspberries in between to make a cute JELL-O sandwich. My girls loved these and the JIGGLERS did not even last a full day in my house – especially when my husband got home and polished off the rest of the pan.
This recipe was so easy to make and my girls eagerly joined in on the fun by stirring the JELL-O and watching it as it firmed up in the refrigerator. Both of them were amazed at the way we were able to create two distinct layers for one dish. I know my girls will look back on moments like this with a smile, just like I do when thinking about making and eating JELL-O with my mom.
Want to learn how to make the recipe? Follow the instructions in our slideshow above.

Since it's fall and freaky Friday, it's the perfect day to ask:
What's your LEAST favorite Halloween candy?
You know, the one candy you traded out as a kid (or will trade with the neighbors this year).
When I was a small fry, my brother and I would come home Halloween night and go through our stash, trading candy piece by piece. I dumped 3 Musketeers on him and he handed over all of his Almond Joys. It was a clean and fair transaction.
To entice you to share your LEAST favorite Halloween candy (just one!), you'll be entered into a drawing to win a $25 Candy.com Gift Card. The winner can buy his/her FAVORITE Halloween candy. Watcha waiting for? Spill it.
Based on the feedback, I'll post a Top Ten list early next week and announce the $25 gift-card winner. TGIF!

Product Details
Saab 9-7X Linear 2005, PowerAid™ Throttle Body Spacer by AIRAID®. The patented Helix Bore in the PowerAid™ Throttle Body Spacer causes a spinning action of the incoming air charge as it passes through the throttle body. This turbulent airflow greatly improves fuel atomization, resulting in more complete combustion and greater engine efficiency. This produces tremendous gains in low end torque and better fuel economy. The PowerAid™ spacer is easy to install, it's 50 state legal, will not void new car warranties, and can be used with any grade fuel.
Notes: Legal for Sale in CA and all other states.
- Enhances fuel atomization, which improves combustion and engine efficiency
- Increases low end torque and fuel economy
- Easy to install, takes less than 1 hour with simple hand tools
- CAD designed and dyno tested for each specific application
- Manufactured from aircraft-grade 6061 T-6 aluminum
- Comes complete with all gaskets and hardware, including comprehensive instructions
- Backed by AIRAID's "No Hassle" warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
There are many companies that make products to improve airflow to your engine. AIRAID is one of the few that's thought of how to improve that airflow once it gets there. The result of their research and testing is the PowerAid™ Throttle Body Spacer. The PowerAid™ Spacer is about 1-in. thick and installs between the throttle body and intake manifold. It features AIRAID's unique and patented Helix Bore, which creates a spinning action as the incoming air passes through the throttle body. The helical effect causes the air molecules to organize and maintain high velocity, all the way into the combustion chamber. Combustion is improved and engine efficiency increased. The results you experience are tremendous torque gains from 800-2500 rpm, along with gains in fuel economy.
Each PowerAid™ spacer is computer designed and dyno tested for the specific application. It's manufactured from high quality, aircraft-grade 6061 T-6 aluminum. Everything required for installation comes with your spacer, including gaskets, hardware, the necessary brackets and detailed instructions. And it can be installed in less than an hour with simple hand tools.
PowerAid™ spacers are available for vehicles with electronic throttle bodies and vehicles with throttle cables. They're also available with PowerPorts™. PowerPorts™ are specially located ports in the spacer that are drilled and tapped for instrumentation sensors or power enhancements like Nitrous Oxide.
PowerAid™ spacers are 50 state legal, will not void new car warranties, and can be used with any grade fuel. And they're backed by AIRAID's "No Hassle" warranty. There are no limitations or fine print here. Simply, if you're ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this PowerAid™ spacer, just send it back... period! You don't have to worry about a proof of purchase or a warranty card. AIRAID air intake systems are warranted for life.119.90Brand: Airaid Part Number: 200-586 UPC: 642046205867 This part is compatible with 25 vehicle(s)
AIRAID® was founded in 1997 when they began developing and manufacturing air intake systems for light trucks and SUVs, utilizing the cotton-gauze filter technology that was available at the time. These systems increased airflow and performance while being easy to install, and sold so well that the company soon realized that another source of filters was necessary. They believed they could produce a better quality filter using new technology and state-of-the-art materials, and so in 2002 the AIRAID Filter Company was formed. Today AIRAID is the recognized leader in air management technology. Extensive research and development has allowed AIRAID to come to market first with high quality products that improve drivability and performance.Product Reviews (2)

I installed this Throttle Body Spacer on my 2002 Chevy Trailblazer. At first I was curious if it was even going to do anything. The installation was a breeze the instruction paper actually made since. After I put this product on you can hear a whistle sound, it sounds like a very small turbo. The Airaid product come to find out has made a difference. I have put it to the test with most of everything, when the light is red and it turns green you put the throttle all the way down it doesn't work. But when you have the throttle at half like going 30 mph then you put the metal to the peddle, you can feel and tell it works. Then when driving normally it does very well, the box says 4 mpg well lets get real now it does get only like 3 mpg better. The acceleration hp is all a little better.Was this review helpful for you?

Read: Frolunda Fans Want A Statue of Henrik Lundqvist
In an interview with Swedish paper Expressen, via, Henrik Lundqvist revealed that he was in the running to have a statue of himself constructed outside of the arena where the Frolunda Indians play.
Lundqvist is the runaway leader right now.
On the Frolunda website, they said the reason was "Want to see Frölunda pride carved in stone above the Scandinavium? Now it may come true! Among Göteborg more than a thousand statues are a few sports-related. But the statue of Gothenburg greatest hockey player conspicuous by their absence. We want to change that!"
Lundqvist said that he would vote for Niklas Andersson and said that he did many good things for Frolunda over the years.
Andersson played for Frolunda from 2001 to 2011 and was a teammate of Lundqvist's on the two championships that Frolunda won.
THIS SECTION is all about Lundqvist and Frolunda.

The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that made headlines after sinking in a Lake Superior storm on November 10, 1975.
When launched on June 8, 1958, she was the largest boat on the Great Lakes, and remains the largest boat to have sunk there.
The ship suffered a series of mishaps during her launch: it took three attempts to break the champagne bottle used to christen her and she collided with a pier when she entered the water.
The ship, Captained by Ernest McSorley, had a full cargo of taconite ore pellets and left on her final voyage from Superior, Wisconsin, at 2:15 p.m. on November 9, 1975, en route to a steel mill near Detroit.
Shortly after 5 p.m., the Edmund Fitzgerald joined up with the SS Arthur M. Anderson, which was headed to Gary, Indiana.
By the next day the two ships were caught in the midst of a massive winter storm, with near hurricane-force winds and waves up to 35 feet high.
At 7 p.m. on Nov. 9, the National Weather Service issued a Gale Warning for Lake Superior.
The Fitzgerald reported 10 foot waves, and altered course to seek protection from the Canadian coast.
At 2 a.m., the weather service upgraded to a storm warning. By 3 a.m., the Fitzgerald passed the Anderson.
Winds became sustained at nearly 60 mph. At 3:30 p.m., Captain McSorley radioed the Anderson to report that the Fitzgerald was taking on water.
The last communication from the Fitzgerald ship came at approximately 7:10 p.m. McSorley reported, "We are holding our own." She is believed to have sunk just minutes after the transmission.
The Edmund Fitzgerald sank with 29 crew on board. Although a 3-day search recovered debris, no survivors were found.
The wreckage was located 4 days later on the Lake Superior bottom, 530 feet below the surface.
Gordon Lightfoot wrote his 1976 song about the tragedy while reading a newspaper on an airplane. "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" reached No. 2 on American singles charts.
In 1978, the U.S. Navy dove to the site and concluded the ship had broken apart at the surface.
The bow section stands upright in the mud, some 170 feet from the stern section that lay face down at a 50-degree angle.
With a value of $24 million, the Fitzgerald's financial loss was the greatest in Great Lakes sailing history.
The Michigan Sea Grant Program organized a three-day dive using a remotely operated underwater vehicle to survey the Fitzgerald in 1989.
In 1994, a dive team discovered the remains of a crew member wearing a life jacket lying alongside the bow of the ship, indicating that at least one of the crew may have been aware of the possibility of sinking.
Most of the crew members were from Ohio and Wisconsin and ranged in age from 21- to 63-years-old.
A series of dives were performed in 1995 to salvage the bell from the Fitzgerald.
The bell of the Edmund Fitzgerald broke water at 1:25 pm July 4, 1995 as family members watched.
A wreath was placed on the water following the recovery of the bell.
The bell is now on permanent display at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Paradise, Michigan on Whitefish Point - 17 miles from the Fitzgerald's final resting place. A ceremony is held each year to remember the 29 crew members lost.
