Mandel Bros. Buildings
Life Span: 1898-1910 & 1911-Present
Location: NE Corner of State and Madison Streets
Architect: Holabird & Roche
Inter Ocean, October 30, 1910
One of the most imposing department stores in the city, a mammoth fifteen story $2,000,000 structure, will arise at the corner of Madison and State streets, the busiest corner in the world, early in 1911. The entire Building will be devoted to the use of Mandel Bros. A permit for the building was taken out yesterday, and plans have already been drawn.
The real estate values involve will probably exceed all transactions yet recorded in loop district property. The various negotiations include a lease for the northeast corner of State and Madison streets from the Marshall Field estate for ninety-nine years. As near as can be learned, the rental starts at $50,000 per year, with an increase from time to time that will bring the final rental up to $60,000 per year. This property faces fifty-three feet on State street and 150 feet on Madison street.
The adjoining forty-eight feet on State street has been secured in fee simple by Mandel Bros. The deed has not yet appeared on record, and the consideration is not accurately known, but reliable authorities place at slightly under a million dollars. The next forty-eight feet to the north has been owned by the Mandels for some time.
Having purchased all the interests of the Rutter estate in the land at the northwest corner of Wabash avenue frontage occupied by them.
The new building will cover the same ground space as the present one, 150 feet on State street, and an equal distance on Madison, extending to Holden court. Its height will be 247 feet above grade, with three stories below the ground level. In the construction, 12,000 tons of steel will be used. It is expected that the spacious structure will be completed in time for the fall opening of 1911.

Chicago Tribune, December 24, 1911
One of Chicago's landmarks, the Mandel Brothers building at State and Madison streets will be turned over to wrecking contractors on Tuesday. The structure is a relic of 1875 and is an excellent example of what was considered beauty in architecture at that time. The building is to give way to the remaining half of a new fifteen story building, the first half of which was dedicated to business last September.

Chicago Tribune, April 14, 1955
Mandel Brothers, Inc., one of Chicago's famous department stores, enters its 100th anniversary celebration with infinite and unbounded faith in the future of State street as the midwest's greatest shopping center, Henry Stoll, president, said yesterday.
All plans of the big store, which twice rose from ashes of fires in its first century, revolve around a greater State st. operation, said Stoll in an interview.
Mandel's was the first Chicago store to have special shops for foreign goods, the first to open a children's barber shop, and the first Chicago to display apparel on models.
Expects Roads to Aid.
Still's optimism springs from the belief that super-highways under construction to link the Loop with suburban areas will bring more shoppers to State st. with its compact and wide selection of merchandise.
A large birthday cake was cut by Stoll yesterday during an employee salute to the store. More than 1,000 employees took part in the ceremony at noon in the employee's restaurant.
It was one of several parties thruout the store. Aiding Stoll in the cake cutting were employees with more than 50 years of service.

A Theme in Flowers.
This morning Mandel's opens its 5 million dollar, 100th anniversary sale, which centers around a fresh flower theme. The theme was inspired by a tradition common in the British isles, where stores install flower boxes on their window ledges in the spring.
Mandel's has placed 160 feet of flower boxes near the second floor level of the State st. side of its store at State and Madison sts., one of the world's most famous business corners.
The display will be maintained to the the end of the store's centennial year with plantings changing with the seasons. Inside, the first floor will have ledge displays of thousands of cut flowers and plants under lighted canopies.
Always Under Mandels.
In its 100 years, the Mandel store has remained under leadership of the Mandel family. The Mandel name first came into the title of a Chicago company in 1855.
In that year a dry goods business in Clark st. operated by Simon Klein became Klein & Mandel. After the death of Klein, his nephews, the four Mandel brothers, Solomon, Leon, Emanuel, and Simon, established in 1865 the partnership which brought them renown as merchants.
When the present Loop store was built in 1912, the founding brothers were dead and management was in the hands of the second generation, foremost of whom was Frederick Leon Mandel, eldest son of Leon Mandel.
Leon Mandel, son of Frederick, is the present chairman. Fred L. Mandel, Jr., Leon's brother is secretary. Edwin F. Mandel, son of Emanuel, is honorary chairman.
In November, 1952, Mandel's opened a $500,000 branch store in Lincoln Village shopping center, Lincoln and Devon avs. As part of its 100th year Mandel opened on a permanent basis a home furnishings branch at 425 N. Michigan av. last March 7.
Without detracting from the importance and probable growth of the two branches, the important nucleus of Mandel's grtowth still will be State ., said Stoll.
Family from Bavaria
The Mandel family came to Chicago from the little town of Kerzenheim, Bavaria, Germany.
In 1870 the brothers built a three story building at Harrison and State sts., which was destroyed by the great Chicago fire of 1871, rebuilt and destroyed by fire again in 1874.
Mandel's opened for business the day after the 1871 fire in a converted cigar store they bought at 22d st. and Michigan av.

In the last weeks, a series of news regarding Kazakhstan's January parliamentary elections have brought Nur-Sultan back to the centre of Central Asian affairs after weeks dominated by the events unfolding in Kyrgyzstan. The renaming of parties, an announcement by the country's only real opposition party and the return of Dariga Nazarbayeva are the latest novelties in Kazakhstan's electoral cycle.
New names, old parties
Political parties in Kazakhstan, with one exception, are tools used by the regime to give an image of a multiparty democracy. However, that is far from the truth. Besides Nur Otan, Nursultan Nazarbayev's party, there are other organisations that play the role of the opposition but that in reality are pro-government entities. That is the case of the Communist People's Party and Birlik (Unity). In an effort to rebrand themselves, the former dropped the word 'Communist', now becoming simply the People's Party, and the latter renamed itself to Adal (Honesty).
That doesn't change the fact that the (Communist) People's Party is a docile splinter from the true Communist Party of Kazakhstan, which was later banned by the authorities. Similarly, Adal is one of the other pro-government parties that is irrelevant in Kazakhstan's politics. They might change their names, but everything else remains the same.
Pulling out of the race
While most of the political parties are pro-governmental organisations, there is one that can be considered as genuine opposition: the National Social Democratic Party (NSDP). From the six parties to contest the elections, the NSDP was the only one that did not follow the authorities' designs. However, that will no longer be the case. In the congress celebrated on the November 27, the NSDP voted not to participate in the elections.
"This election campaign does not differ from the previous one: the same rules, the same law, the same procedures, the same political parties. I am sure that the announced figures and results are already being prepared in advance at the top. It will be so, nothing new. The authorities need, like air, our participation to legitimize the elections. The NSDP should not become an instrument in the hands of the authorities. We must boycott the elections," announced the party's chairman.
The NSDP had received the support of Mukhtar Ablyazov, a controversial opposition figure based abroad, something which could have worked against the party. After their withdrawal, Ablyazov declared that the socialdemocrats were actually following the government's orders.
Given that the elections are not going to be free nor fair, the NSDP's decision is of a symbolic nature. They would probably have not gain any seats in the parliament, but it goes to show the lack of freedoms and democracy in Kazakhstan.
Dariga is back
In early May, a statement raised eyebrows in Kazkahstan. Dariga Nazarbayeva, the daughter of Nursultan Nazarbayev, had been dismissed as chairman of the Senate, one of the country's top positions. Much was speculated about what could have caused her fall, but she is now back in the first line of Kazakh politics, albeit in a less relevant role.
During its congress celebrated on November 25, Nur Otan published the list of its 126 candidates to the parliament. Among them was Dariga. It is not clear what the reasons behind her return are. Perhaps she has now learnt her lesson, whatever that was, and she has been allowed back into politics. However, for the time being, she will be an MP, a demotion compared to the role she used have earlier this year.
The parliamentary and local elections that will take place on January 10 will be yet another test to the power transition that started in 2019. And they will take place at a time when the pandemic has hit hard the people's and government's finances. The electoral results are a forgone conclusion. It is what happens next that will be important.

ROME — Pope Francis told volunteers and social workers that they can guard against discouragement by always being with Christ when working with people in difficulty.
Nearly 40 years ago, "your community was founded on Christmas day and it expresses faith incarnated in service," the pope told those who work with and have been served by the Emmanuel Community in Lecce, Italy.
Founded by Jesuit Father Mario Marafioti, the community welcomes and provides care for hundreds of people, including minors with no family support, migrants and people with addictions or disabilities.
"The Lord knocks on the door with the face of brothers and sisters who live in poverty, abandonment and slavery, and you opened" that door, the pope said in an audience with the group at the Vatican Sept. 26.
He thanked them for the way they welcome, accompany and work with the people they serve, by being rooted in God's word and moments of reflection and fraternity.
"This is important, otherwise one becomes an aid agency or a business," he said.
But, "the hardest thing is perseverance, to keep going," he said, reminding them that the strength and power behind their efforts come from God, not themselves.
Just as Emmanuel means "God with us," those involved with the Emmanuel Community must follow that path of being both with Christ and with those in difficulty, he said.
"This is the key," he said; one must always be with both at the same time.
A life of "God with us" and giving witness of God's love provides the strength needed not to lose hope, joy or the courage of self-sacrifice, he said.
It helps people working in difficult circumstances from hurting each other, helps them pick up the pieces after failure or disappointment and helps them keep working "with joy even if it is exhausting and you feel tired," he said.
The pope thanked the group for its visit and said, "It is always a gift and consolation for me to meet communities that seek to live the joy of the Gospel. Thank you and have a good journey!"

First off, Baton Rouge personal injury attorney J. Price McNamara and the rest of his staff would like to wish all our readers a most joyous first day of fall. You know what the first day of fall means, right? Yep, Halloween is just around the corner. With Halloween fast approaching, something else follows in its wake; the onset of major theme parks once again rebooting their famous horror themed celebrations.
That's right, ghouls, goblins, werewolves, vampires, and leather mask laden, chainsaw wielding fiends will soon be emerging from the copious amounts of fog billowing about Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and of course Universal Studios. At this time of year, as the sun begins to set, these locations which are famous for being a hoot to the entire family become a hoot for only those with strong constitutions and a literal nightmare for the faint of heart, the young, and the unsure footed.
It just so happens that a 57 year-old woman by the name of Cleanthi Peters, who decided to bring her ten-year-old granddaughter to Universal Studios Horror Night, encompasses all of the latter mentioned criteria.
In other words, sit back folks, grab a flashlight, and get ready for the tale of "The Scream, The Slip, and The Unsure Suit" because we're here to clear the water once and for all.
Frivolous Lawsuits Can Be A Real Fright
Last week, we posted an article listing off some of the most frivolous personal injuries cases that have ever made it to court. Everyone loves to hear about cases that seem as though any judge would toss them out, only to find that the plaintiff not only won the case, but was awarded a substantial amount of money.
Unfortunately, many of the most famous and deliciously ridiculous personal injury cases you can find on the internet are false. Like the tale of Terrence Dickson, a burglar from Bristol, PA, who upon attempting to leave a house he had just burgled found himself trapped in the garage of said home for eight days, surviving off of dog food and pepsi. He then allegedly sued the garage door manufacturer for mental anguish and was awarded $500,000. This case? Fabricated.
This same conundrum of confusing facts is the boat we found ourselves in when delving deeper into the case of Cleanthi Peters, who allegedly took Universal Studios to court for making their hallowed horror night "too scary." She claimed to have suffered extreme fear, mental anguish, and emotional stress.
It appears the internet has a plethora of information about this case loaded and at the ready for any curious reader to gobble up. Many of the articles regarding Peters and her fright night at Universal Studios claim the same facts, but conflicting outcomes. Some sites, like yoshalaw.com, claim that Peters' cries of terror paid off. Other sources, like cracked.com, claim the case never even happened.
Well, it turns out that both sites are wrong. In fact, almost everyone who reported in this "case" is wrong.
What Really Happened to the Wayward Cleanthi Peters and Her Young Universal Studios Companion?
Well, they got the bejeebers scared out of them, that much is true. Peters and her ten-year-old granddaughter were most definitely not ready for the fright they found at Universal Studios Horror Night that night in 1998. So they did what any normal, breathing human being would do upon finding themselves overwhelmed by fear; they bee-lined it toward the nearest exit.
However, this is where the water starts to get murky. For instance, many sources, like techblog.com, claim that Peters took Universal Studios to court because of an overly zealous, fake chainsaw wielding, maniac employee jumped out from some uncertain location and scared both she and her granddaughter "too much."
Let's try and not get caught up in the lunacy that someone would actually attempt to take a company they paid to scare them to court for doing exactly what is was they paid them to do; scare them.
"You did too good of a job, Universal Studios! Now pay me!" That kind of thinking is something the media can run with, and is exactly what caused the facts to be lost in the first place.
Dig a little deeper and you will start to see resources, like all-funny.info, who recount a portion of Peters story that is often omitted. After being scared Peters and her granddaughter turned tale, ran, and slipped in a puddle of water.
Ok, now we're getting warmer.
However, most of the resources who go the extra mile and recount this portion of the story still claim there was a lawsuit. This is the part that's a frightening Halloween Fabrication. Yes, readers; the lawsuit is a lie!
So, Who's Telling the Truth?
The facts are that if Peters and her young companion did indeed slip and fall in a puddle of water, this is where a case can enter personal injury territory and where most companies will approach the victim directly, offering them an amount of money to keep the case out of court. As going to court is expensive, and the truth is a company should have signs out warning patrons of slippery floors.
As for us, we have to give ourselves a pat on the back, because the only conclusive and reliable information that discusses with some certainty the outcome of Peters' incident at Universal Studios is a footnote at the bottom of a page 175 in a book titled Off Course: Inside the Mad Muddy World of Obstacle Course Racing. Don't ask us how we found this, or how a 57 year-old grandmother who slipped and fell in a puddle of water while running from a phony maniac ended up in a book about obstacle course racing.
We didn't read that far.
That wasn't what we were there for.
We were there for one thing and one thing only – this quote; "In 1998, Cleanthi Peters went to the Halloween Horror Nights Haunted House at Universal Studios with her grandson. Two Years later, claiming the experience had caused her 'extreme fear, mental anguish, and emotional distress' she sued the company for $15,000. The case was settled out of court."
Holy light saber wielding jedi masters! Would you look at that? It turns out not only was everyone wrong, they were also right… to an extent.
Peters did attempt to sue Universal Studios, but the case never made it to court and there was no lawsuit because the case was settled out of court!
Huzzah! The truth rears its buried face from the pages of a completely unrelated book!
But the fact that Peters' "case" turned out to be an agreement reached outside of court walls that amounted in compensation whose form or amount cannot be specified is not the most ground shaking parking of this whole ordeal.
What really blew our socks off, you ask?
Well, did anyone else notice the something strange about that quote?
*Cue conclusionary music, surprised screams, and fainting women*
Long Live Books, Authors, and Works Cited Pages
In the end we chose to believe that the information we unearthed in that random novel is most likely closest to the truth.
Because despite our efforts to find some sort of truth about this haunted grandmother on the internet, we only ended up running in circles, sobbing about how everything is so confusing and wondering why it appears cats have taken over the web.
So… Many… Cat… Videos… Must look away…
Then a ray of light hit us in the form of a footnote found in a published book, with cited sources and an unbiased author who mentioned aspects of the case no one else had; the fact that it was settled out of court.
And there you have it, folks. As the saying goes "the truth will out!"
However, one fact still remains, and that is if Peters and her granddaughter-son had truly slipped in a puddle of water at the park, this could have constituted grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.
So, if you are running from any ghouls this halloween at an amusement park and find yourself flat on your back in a puddle of water, give us a call. We will take it from there.
Until then readers, happy haunting and Godspeed.

Lectra and Mittelmoda – a collaboration supporting young fashion talent
The International Lab of Mittelmoda - The Fashion Award is back once again in the prestigious setting of MICAM. After supporting Mittelmoda and its contests for over 15 years, Lectra is introducing its first-ever "Pattern Maker Award." The award is designed to enhance the talent of young people and reward the most deserving creations.
Lectra young pattern makers
With the precious support of Carlo Barbieri, Pattern Maker Manager at Twinset Spa and Maurizio Cazzin, Pattern Maker Manager at Giorgio Armani, Lectra will foster the professional growth of young pattern makers with a special reward: a Modaris CAD software license to support realization of their collection, plus a training session with a Lectra expert. To be awarded the special "Pattern Maker Award," pattern makers are evaluated on the sartorial design and pattern-making techniques used to make outerwear designs.
The world of fashion work today demands technology to speed up and automate the production of garments. Fashion design schools focus their training on technology to help future fashion leaders acquire specific technology skills used and required by fashion companies.
Lectra wants to bridge both realities with the aims of 1) fostering and supporting the creative young talent, and 2) creating concrete opportunities for professional development through active synergies with our customers, who constitute the largest and most prestigious companies in the world of fashion."
Jacqueline Liger, LECTRA Vice President Marketing & Communication Southern Europe and North Africa.
We interviewed Carlo and Maurizio to get to know what they've done and what it takes to succeed in the fashion industry.
1- How did you get into pattern making? Where did your passion come from? How did you get to your current job and role?
Carlo Barbieri: After earning a degree in industrial pattern making, I started my career as a simple pattern maker within a company. Then, luckily for me, I met a tailor pattern maker who gave me the opportunity to work with him, learning methodologies and techniques at the highest level. Thanks to the financial contribution of my employer, I attended another postgraduate course at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan, to learn and be inspired by other pattern makers.
I had subsequent work experiences: at Max Mara for 14 years, then at Liu Jo for 8 years and now at Twinset, where I've been for 7 years. Here I manage the modelling and tailoring departments. The passion for this world was born when I was very young. Every week I wanted to buy branded and trendy clothes. I already had a keen interest and a deep curiosity toward them. I already felt a creative vein inside me.
Maurizio Cazzin: My passion started very early: in the garage/studio of a pattern maker, who was a friend of my parents. I saw many models of jackets and trousers and smelled the scent of the pattern and the tools. It seemed to be a kind of a magic job because although I only saw pieces of cardboard, my mentor explained to me that they were a jacket or a sleeve. With such a great curiosity about this profession, so I enrolled in a professional course for stylists and fashion operators at an institute in Padua. During this schooling, and especially during an internship in a company offered by the institute, I realized that my interest was in the process of making garments, especially outerwear.
After high school graduation, I attended a pattern maker course at the Istituto Secoli in Milan.
I was lucky to have an opportunity to work at the Canali company as an assistant pattern maker. From there my professional career developed, leading me to work for Boglioli and then for the Armani Group, where I am now menswear supervisor inside the style office.
2 – The importance of pattern maker inside fashion companies
Carlo Barbieri: There are many important activities in the various fashion companies, but I believe that the role of the pattern maker is fundamental. He is responsible for making on a 1 to 1 scale what another person, in this case the designer, has conceived with a sketch or image. After actively participating in the transformation of lines and volumes, the pattern maker must make the garment, a process that requires very technical knowledge in addition to creativity. The pattern maker must also have a concrete vision as well as the necessary technical knowledge to make the product.
Maurizio Cazzin: In my opinion, the role of the pattern maker is very important since, thanks to this professional, sketches, ideas and creative expressions are brought to life and created. As a matter of fact, I am very happy that the Mittelmoda competition allows professionals to emerge and express themselves because, within the production chain, the pattern maker plays a strategic role that must be valued in the same way as that of the designer.
3 – What skills, expertise and characteristics are required to follow this professional path into the today fashion world?
Carlo Barbieri: Besides creativity and concreted ideas, the pattern maker must have transversal skills concerning the entire production chain: from the prototype cutting to the garment's entire production chain, up to the ironing. This mix of skills allows the pattern maker to be able to create a garment in the shortest possible time, respecting the economic limits, the feasibility and material performance. The in-depth knowledge of raw materials and fabrics is another essential characteristic for the pattern maker, not only because product knowledge allows correct fabric matching to the garments being made, but also to be able to estimate the production costs with greater precision.
Maurizio Cazzin: First of all, I would like to point out a fundamental distinction --there is work and profession/craft. Being a pattern maker means learning a profession, which is synonymous with art, craftsmanship, creativity and sensitivity.
So future model makers must have artistic sensibility, combined with mathematical and geometric skills to be able to interpret and create lines and volumes. There must be a lot of passion, and also patience because a pattern usually must be redone several times before it is perfect and precise and meets expectations. It is necessary to have a knowledge of cutting and sewing, to know the various stages of the production chain, and understand the raw materials. Vocational schools help young people acquire the basic skills needed to learn this profession.
4- Where is positioned the role of the pattern maker in the value chain, who are the teams he/she works with in the company
Carlo Barbieri: In my opinion, what the pattern maker does is at the center of the design project. In fact, he is in contact and collaborates with almost all the offices, from the style to the technical one, to the production department. The pattern maker realizes an idea of the style office making it reproducible in series, and this is a very important aspect. He must therefore manage to "industrialize the garment" and try to prevent production problems, in order to reduce costs while trying to maintain the highest quality. For example: with a production saving of 5 euros, a saving of 50 euros on the actual final cost of the garment can be achieved.
Maurizio Cazzin: There is an initial exchange of ideas and handover with the style office, then the collaboration reaches the production office to start the real making of the garments. Once the paper pattern is made and the technical sheets are ready, the information is passed on to those who have to make the outfits. So, we can say that the pattern maker is at the center of the value chain. Of course, there are different types of companies, so the pattern maker can work within a company that produces their own garments or work for an external service to which a company gives the making of patterns and prototypes.
5 – What are the evaluation metrics considered to select the finalists for the special "Pattern Maker Award" offered by Lectra within the international fashion contest Mittelmoda?
Carlo Barbieri: The evaluation metrics we considered include the match with the idea, so the sketch; the general creativity of the project; the interpretation of lines and volumes on the paper pattern and the sense of proportions on a 1:1 scale; the industrialization of clothing and the wearability.
Maurizio Cazzin: We started by analyzing the student's initial idea to evaluate whether there was a fil rouge between the sketch and the final outcome. We considered coherence with the creative idea from one side, and the concreteness in the making of the garment on the other side. During the evaluation process we also considered the moodboards, the fabrics and some parts of the paper patterns.
6 – What would you suggest to future pattern makers?
Carlo Barbieri: It would be nice to create a hybrid job, a D/PM, that is to say a Designer/Pattern Maker, since design and pattern making go hand in hand. Young people should value the university courses and competitions, such as Mittelmoda, because it is here where they can express their creativity in total freedom, propose innovative ideas and achieve winning projects for more and more competitive markets.
Maurizio Cazzin: my main suggestion is to invest in your own education and persist! Don't be discouraged if you are having difficulty looking for a job after your studies. Twenty-five years ago, I had to move from the countryside to the city to find the right job. Today, it might be necessary to change countries, but you have to consider moving as an investment to start filling in the pages of your CV. Spirit of sacrifice, great curiosity, eagerness to learn and to compare your work to others is required, as well as to be able to accept criticism. The profession of the pattern maker gives great satisfaction, but it requires commitment and dedication.

Best Overall
Moen's model 8277 utility sink faucet is stylish, functional, and, because it's one of Moen's commercial products, built for heavy-duty use. It has a dual-handle brass construction with a shiny chrome-plated finish.

Another feature that sets this Moen apart from its competition is its color-coded handles labeled "H" and "C." The lever handles comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and turn on with just a quarter turn. They are very easy to operate for those with limited mobility.

Centre's joy over wind farm U-turn
Credit: Hartlepool Mail, www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk 11 November 2010 ~~
Translate: FROM English | TO English
Translate: FROM English | TO English
A phone company has amended its plans for a wind farm to avoid impinging on the operation of a parachute centre.
BT has revised its proposals for a wind farm near Peterlee Parachute Centre, based at Shotton Airfield.
The communications giant submitted a planning application for a wind turbine at Junction House Farm, at Easington, as part of its nationwide plans to generate up to a quarter of its electricity from wind farms.
The proposed 2.3 megawatt turbine would be sited on privately-owned land, west of Easington village and the A19 and north of Durham Lane.
There had originally been plans for a three-turbine development, but this raised concerns from bosses at the airfield, who said it would have affected their operation.
The U-turn follows previous battles which saw the airfield successfully fend off applications by A7 Energy for a similar scheme at nearby Edder Acres Farm and proposals to build a wind turbine at the AKS factory on Peterlee's North West Industrial Estate.
Ian Rosenvinge, owner of the parachute centre, said: "We have had constructive dialogue with BT and they took on board our comments concerning the first proposal.
"There has been significant modification to their designs, reflected in this new scheme which does not compromise our parachute operation.
"There were originally plans for three turbines, two of which were in our designated safeguarding area – effectively they were in our drop zone.
"My experience with other energy companies is that they want to bulldoze their way through, but BT were excellent."
Tom Martin, head of partnership development for BT's Wind for Change programme, said: "Over the past year we have been progressing our proposals and have worked hard to address some specific concerns raised by Peterlee Parachute Centre.
"As a result of these discussions and work carried out by independent environmental consultants, the original proposals for a three-turbine development have been revised and we are now progressing with plans for a single wind turbine on this site."
Durham County Council will post details outlining receipt of the planning application through notices at the site, in the local media, on its website and by notifying any adjoining land owners or occupiers directly.
A copy of the planning application is also available to view at Easington Area Planning Office, council offices, Seaside Lane, Easington Colliery.
The opening hours for public access are 8.30am–5.30pm, Monday to Thursday and 8.30am–4.30pm on Fridays.

Get Grubs is the latest, delivery-only food portal in Noida and as the name suggests, their munchies are perfect for satiating all those mid-work pangs.
Get Grubs Delivers Juicy Burgers And Rolls In Noida
Big Bootylicious Burgers
We had the Mr Bean Burger made of rajma tikki. The tikki was fresh and lightly spiced, and we particularly loved the spicy sauce inside it. The Hariyali Kebab Grub was served with just the right amount of crunchy veggies and sauce. Overall, we'd strongly recommend the veggie spread for V-enthusiasts.
Don't Chuck The Chicken
Among the non-vegetarian options, we ate the Crispy Chicken Patty Grub, which we suggest you skip. On the other hand, we really gobbled up the Chicken Seekh Roll. The kebab was fresh, but some more chutney would've worked wonders. With tangy chipotle sauce and a generous patty, their Big Fat Chick Burger was a winner.
A special mention here for their desserts, which were soft, mildly sweet, and tasted like they were home-made somehow.
The Moment of Truth
If you're bored of the regular McDonalds and Subway, the food at Get Grubs will be a pleasant change. Since they're delivery-only, we strongly recommend their food for all those house-parties and hungover morning-afters.

Having a rat or mouse problem is NEVER a pleasant experience. Rats and mice, rodents in general, can cause a variety of sanitary, health related issues, structural damage, and even the increased risk of electrical fires. They multiply quickly, and can be VERY difficult to eradicate for the average home or business owner.
Rodents, mice and rats specifically, can cause a variety of problems for a home or business owner. One of the more obvious is the sanitary, and consequently, health issues caused by a rodent infestation. Rodents not only leave fecal matter and urine in their wake, they can also track it though your home or business and they move around in search of food and water. Rodents also need to chew and gnaw on objects to keep their teeth from overgrowing. Very often, the item they seem to choose is the wiring inside of your walls. Many fires have been caused by electrical wires chewed bare by rats and mice inside walls.
Controlling Rodents
Rats and mice both are very prolific breeders. What was once a small rodent problem, left unchecked, can grow to a very large, and costly one, in a very short amount of time. More often than not, the evidence of a mouse or rat will preclude the sighting of one. Droppings or urine stains along baseboards and pieces of chewed or gnawed wood are a sign that you have unwanted visitors. It is very important that at the first sign of a mice or rat, or evidence thereof, you call a professional.
Your Rat and Mouse Professional
Don't take chances with a rodent problem. Call the team at Eary Termite and Pest Service at the first sight of a rodent issue.

|Subject: "The
Toronto 2010 G8/G20 Summits turned into a
*monumental*, *FASCIST* Police State FARCE"
says the É(eh)PC President/Party Leader
Police Ass-kissing
The London, England, 2008 G20 involved 5,000 cops and the cost was $30 million;
The Pittsburgh, USA, 2009 G20 involved 4,000 cops and the cost was $12,2 (US);
The Toronto, Canada 2010 G8 at Huntsville on Friday and Thursday and G20 on
Sunday at the Toronto Metro Centre involves 14,000 cops, 5,000 security personnel
and the cost is $1.1 billion when it was supposed to have been $179 million.
The installation of EXTENSIVE 3-meter-high SECURITY PERIMETERS along with
the installation of *LOTS* of Police CAMERAS throughout the downtown core,
the road closures and closed shops made for A CREEPY Police State FEELING.
*PLUS* there are - apparently - RCMP planes fitted with video cameras in the air
24/7 filming everything.
That Police State feeling is reinforced by the fact that THE *BIG* WIN-
NERS here are the cops.
And THE *BIG* LOSERS are the Canadian tax-
The provincial Gov't of Ontario passed on June 2nd by order-in-council the
Public Protection Act that lets the Police arrest anyone within five (5) meters
of the security perimeter, anyone who does NOT allow the Police to search
his/her backpack or refuse to identify him/herself and answer Police questions.
This is ENTRAPMENT because INNOCENT PEOPLE are being
BAITED by the Police and without any warning being arrested.
That's *NOT* FAIR.
That's *NOT* democratic because it DISCOURAGES people form exercising
their right to protest.
It's FASCIST!
Canada, Leading by Example?
The Harper Gov't has been saying that Canada is LEADING BY EXAMPLE.
*WHAT* example?
80% of Canadians say spending $1.1 billion on the G8/G20 is A BAD IDEA.
The building of a FAKE indoor LAKE right beside Lake Ontario is NOT JUST
A BAD IDEA, it's NUTS!
Meanwhile Finance Minister Jim Flaherty says: "It's NOT an exaggeration to say
that we are the envy of the world. It's in everyone's interest to listen to those who
get it right."
Did the Gov't get this G8/G20 Summits RIGHT?
Did it?
A Gov't that spends TOO MUCH $$$ - unnecessarily - is BAD *irresponsible*
GOV'T that NO ONE WANTS.
Gov't Operatives
Council of Canadians organized the People's Summit.
100+ groups presented 100+ workshops between June 18th and June 20th.
They appear to be ALL! GOV'T OPERATIVES
because there financing seems to be coming from the Gov't.
Was this $$$ well spent?
Why would G8/G20 protesters want to attend these workshops
knowing that their presence will be documented by the Gov't.
It's ENTRAPMENT.
Is it FAIR?
It smacks of *DIRTY*, *DIRTY* Police State FASCISM.
Public Protest: A Democratic Right
A healthy democracy respects the People's right to protest:
it's a *vital* expression of FREE SPEECH whose freedom
canNOT be suppressed by a legitimate democratic gov't.
TO MUZZLE Canadians by *actively* DISCOURAGING THEM
from doing so is to tell Canadians that they are living in a *FASCIST*
Police State.
*FASCIST* Police Provocation
Witnesses said Saturday's demonstration began with a quiet sit down by the protesters,
MAJORITY OF WHOM where CARRYING CAMERAS to document the event.
Cops came and grab 10 protesters in order to PROVOKE the protesters.
Then, they retreated living two (2) cop cars with no little gas for the
to bash and set on fire.
The protesters moved up Yonge from Queen Street.
The first window to be busted was at Urban Outfitters across
from the Eaton Centre.
No windows of the Eaton Centre were damaged.
I counted 65 damaged windows going up Yonge Street going West
onto College passed Bay Street.
The protesters marched to the Parliament Buildings.
There, witnesses said a cop batoned an old lady.
This provoked those around her.
The Police then *CHARGED* on bikes: some were
arrested or others got away.
One said that he had a rifle with a teargas canister pointed right at
him and the Police YELLED: MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!
Needless to say, he got out of there fast. Another was also hit by a
baton, but was able to escape arrest, but *NOT* his girlfriend.
Cops then retreated to form a complete circle around the protesters.
Such Police tactics are meant to DISMANTLE a
protest and *SCARE* the protesters away.
Many said that the Police *CONTROLLED* the protests
from A to Z by pushing them into the side narrow streets.
By TAKING *TOTAL* CONTROL of the protests the Police
were treating the protests as A JOKE.
It is important to note protesters noticed that the Police were
sending in GOV'T AGENTS among
them who'd *INTENTIONALLY* CAUSED
TROUBLE so that the Police could then *ATTACK* the
That's *NOT* Police PROVOCATION?
*UNNECESSARY* Damage
The trashed cop cars and busted window panes happened because
THE POLICE LET IT HAPPENED according to those
who saw what it first hand.
With 14,000 cops including 5,000 security personnel hired, the Police
had THE CAPACITY to ensure *ZERO* DAMAGE
by LINING THEMSELVES UP along the street
to keep the protesters from getting access to the window.
When they could have prevented it,
THE POLICE *chose* to LET IT HAPPEN.
What's even *MORE* MADDENING is the Police seemed to
have ENCOURAGED IT.
1. to discredit the protesters
2. to justify the expense of hiring 14,000 cops.
Is that responsible policing?
Definitely, NOT!
You would think that cops in Canada who are all
in the $100,00+ salary bracket should know
So *WHO* did THE BASHING OF THE WINDOWS?
Gov't operatives it seems as the bashing appears to have
been done in a very controlled fashioned.
In other words, the Gov't did the damages.
HOW CRAZY is that?
Over THE TOP? I'd say so.
In fact, I think, the Harper Gov't's DISPROPORTIONATE
RESPONSE to the G8/G20 protesters gives the World the
*BEST* EXAMPLE of a *FASCIST* Police State.
