Problem styling a Joomla UI accordion on Joomla 2.5 page

I've successfully installed a jQuery UI accordion on a joomla 2.5 page. Using Chrome development tools I can style it but these settings are lost on page reset. Checking out the jquery-ui.css file shows it comes from a CDN " https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.3/themes/redmond/jquery-ui.css". jQuery and jQuery UI were installed using the Joomla Easy Query extension. The versions are jQuery 1.10.2 and UI 1.10. I want to have the jQuery UI css file accessible from the server so my css settings are preserved. How can this be done? I posted this question on the Stack Overflow Joomla forum, but got no reply so I'm coming to the experts for advice :)  thanks
