Sioux Falls, SD (KWSN) - Derek Brown scored 22 points as the University of Sioux Falls avoided a stunning upset Friday night, holding off visiting Minnesota Crookston, 75-73, in the closing minutes. Tyler West had 16 points for the Golden Eagles, who left Sioux Falls with broken hearts as their losing streak extended to 13 in a row. The Cougars trailed by 34-33 at halftime and did not lead again until Mahlon Jones hit a pair at the line with 13:57 to go. The Cougars (10-9, 7-8 NSIC) came out of the gates sluggish against UMC (4-15, 314 NSIC) by starting the game shooting 1 of 7 from the field while the Golden Eagles made 5 of their first 10 field goals to lead 13-7 at the 14:25 mark. Bryan Kielpinski's traditional three-point play kick-started an 11-0 run for USF that was capped by Brown's second of five triples to give the Cougars a five-point advantage at 18-13. But the Cougars didn't honor their visitors at the three point line and the Golden Eagles made them pay for the neglect, draining three quick 3's during an 11-0 spurt to lead 24-18 at the midway point of the first half. The Cougars battled back to lead 29-28 on a Brown layup and Crookston grabbed six of the last ten points for a slim 34-33 lead at the half.
UMC's Tyler West started the second half with a personal 6-0 scoring spree to open up a 40-33 lead for the Golden Eagles. UMC kept the Cougars at bay for close to 10 minutes before a Jones three-pointer knotted the game at 54-all before back-to-back Brown triples put USF in front 60-58 with just more than seven minutes to go. After leading by as many as six late in the second half, the Cougars' energy diminished along with the lead as the Golden Eagles went on a furious 8-1 run to give them their final lead of the game at 70-69 with 1:39 left on the clock. However, the closing seconds brought a chance for the Cougars to redeem themselves on their home court. Goffney tossed a thread the needle pass to Brown, who knocked down a three that put the Cougars up two, 72-70. UMC fouled quickly but their victim was the best free throw shooter in the NSIC and Brown hit both ends of a double bonus for a 74-71 Cougar advantage. Both sides went 1-for-2 at the line on their ensuing possessions to put the score at 75-72 in favor of the Cougars, but USF did the unthinkable and fouled UMC's Tim Lubke on his ensuing three-point attempt. He would make the first but missed the second to set up the intentional miss on the third attempt, which was collected by Jordan Stotts to preserve the Cougar victory.
The Cougars shot 41.4% from the floor, while UMC posted a 51-percent shooting clip (28-for-55). When USF didn't push the ball inside, it made 11 of 25 3-pointers. Brown went 5-for-8 from deep and has now moved into third all-time in USF history with 170 career triples. Goffney finished with 17 points on 6-for-12 shooting and Jones (10) rounded out the Cougars' double-digit scorers. USF sunk 16 of its 20 attempts from the line, paced by Jones who converted 5-of-6 freebies. Fortunately for USF, Minnesota Crookston also had its worst nights of the season from the free throw line by shooting just 10 of 18.
Crookston edged USF on the glass, 35-33. The Cougar bench was a big reason why USF emerged with the win, as they outscored their UMC counterparts 49-24. USF closes out the weekend homestand with a 6 p.m. tilt tomorrow night against Bemidji State.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Michigan Democrat and former Battle Creek Congressman Mark Schauer is proposing a raise to the state's minimum wage.
Schauer, who is likely to face Governor Rick Snyder in the 2014 election, has proposed raising minimum wage to $99.25 an hour over the next three years. He says hiking the current $7.40 minimum wage would be top priority if he were elected governor.
The state's minimum wage was last increased in 2008 and is slightly higher than the $7.25 federal minimum wage.

ITunes-QuickTime for Mac - Setup Guide
From Benchmark
Benchmark's Guide for Audio Playback using Mac
A Simple Guide to Configure Your Mac for Optimal Audio Quality
Overview: iTunes-QuickTime
iTunes uses the audio engine built into QuickTime to play its audio (and video) files. In other words, iTunes is a sort of media file manager that plays its media using QuickTime, just like a website might play its media with QuickTime. Therefore, the information in this section will apply to both players, and we will address both players simultaneously.
Recommended Player Settings for Optimal Audio Quality
Set the correct sample-rate and set word-length to 24 bit
- These are set in the 'Audio MIDI Setup' control interface, which is in the 'Utilities' folder:
(Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup).
- In the drop-down menu titled "Properties for:", select the output device which you are using
- Under "Audio Output", the "Format" should be set to the appropriate sample rate and '2ch - 24 bit'.
- For iTunes versions earlier then 7, we recommend setting the sample rate to match the sample rate of the media (music) being played
- For iTunes versions later then 7, we recommend setting the sample rate to the highest sample rate that your device is capable of
- For iTunes versions later then 7, iTunes must be launched after the sample rate is set in AudioMIDI. Any sample rate changes made in AudioMIDI while iTunes is open will not change the sample rate of iTunes until iTunes is re-launched. Consequently, it will cause CoreAudio to sample-rate convert the audio coming from iTunes. The result of CoreAudio sample-rate conversion is significant distortion.
Set iTunes volume to "Full"
- Volume settings below "full" may cause severe distortion, especially on version 6 and earlier.
- The volume controls in iTunes versions 7.X and 8.X will not cause significant distortion. The user should not hesitate to use the volume control in iTunes v7.x and 8.X
- This does not refer to the track-specific "Volume Adjustment" settings found in the "Get Info" menu. The "Volume Adjustment" setting should always be set to "None" for all tracks.
- Read more about how digital volume controls affects audio
Bypass all audio DSP and plug-ins (EQ and any other audio 'enhancer')
- For iTunes, disable 'Sound Enhancer' and 'Sound Check'
- These settings can be found in iTunes by going to:
How to play FLAC files in iTunes
Article from Feedback Newsletter comparing iTunes 6 vs. iTunes 7
*this section of the article was written for Benchmark's "Feedback Newsletter" by John Siau. To receive emails with articles like these, subscribe to the "Feedback Newsletter".
iTunes 7.X seems to be a very good attempt at overcoming the limitations of CoreAudio. iTunes 7.X provides a high-quality 24-bit dithered volume control (the iTunes 6.X volume control was 16-bit with truncation problems). iTunes 7.X establishes a 24-bit connection with CoreAudio while iTunes 6.X was limited to 16-bit connections. iTunes 7.X attempts to avoid operating system based SRC services by providing its own very high quality SRC.
Our measurements show that the iTunes 7.X SRC is so good that it should be inaudible (unless it is down sampling). An easy, all-inclusive setup is to set AudioMIDI to 96kHz before launching iTunes and keep AudioMIDI at 96kHz. This will lock iTunes at 96 kHz, which will upsample all sample-rates lower then 96 kHz. Setting the default to 96 kHz would allow playback of high-resolution 96 kHz 24-bit files without any processing, and would utilize the high-quality iTunes 7.X SRC only when playing low resolution 44.1 and 48 kHz files, or the rare 88.2 kHz file.

How do Christians Take Back the Beautiful?
Screenwriter Barbara Nicolosi has some thoughts on the topic.
Focus on the Family's CitizenLink recently had an interesting interview with screenwriter Barbara Nicolosi, founder of Act One, a training/mentoring program for young Christians in the entertainment industry.
Nicolosi had some strong words regarding Christians and the arts: "The idea of beautiful as something that we should aspire to every time we sit down to create – that's gone. I go to the 10 o'clock Mass in my parish watching 1,500 people groaning because it's such bad music. It's not that they're not doing music anymore, it's just they're doing it badly.
"A lot of church drama, skits, what passes for literature intended for the Christian audience, is banal at best. That's because the church has started to see the arts over the last couple generations as means to an end. 'We're going to use this song to get people to be pro-life or use this skit to make people repent. We're going to use this book to make people not commit suicide.' Even though they're good agendas, they've attached an agenda on these works of art."
CitizenLink concludes the interview by asking, "How do Christians take back the beautiful?" Nicolosi's revealing answer includes some sound advice: It's very hard work, making something beautiful. You can't cut corners. Check it out.
Let me also suggest that beautiful does not have to equate to happy. I really enjoy the show "Breaking Bad"; however, it is, in a word, sad. There does not appear to be any possibility of a happy ending to the lives of its characters. Yet, the writing is gripping, the acting compelling, and I find there is "beauty" in the exquisite and excellent way this story of pain, helplessness, despair, and searching is told.
I have always felt this way. How many totally banal Christian romance novels are out there? And yet they are considered "safe" and "quality" reads for Christians. Blech.
I can definitely see her point about storytelling. One of my favorite shows this year is Parenthood. There is a lot I don't like about this show morally (thank God for TiVO), but the characters are fascinating. I want to see how these people deal with the challenges that confront them. If christian writers put that kind of effort into character development, they could do a believable and interesting show about people of faith dealing with the challenges of life instead of the schmalzy dreck that shows up on christian tv. Show me characters that fall down, and get up bleeding but still keep going, and I will believe their faith. Show me people who glide through life and nothing really bothers them because they have Jesus, and I'll change the channel. That's not reality, and non-believers know it instinctively.
It's not as though we have no one to show us how it's done. Until the last 50 years, popular literature and even movies were dominated by the writing of people of faith.

Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook has been cleared for contact and will make his season debut on Sunday as the Thunder take on Phoenix.
Westbrook tore the meniscus in his right knee during Game 2 of OKC's first- round playoff series with Houston when Rockets' guard Patrick Beverly bumped into the Thunder star. He underwent surgery and was expected to be back in time for the start of training camp but suffered a setback in October after a loose stitch created swelling in the surgically repaired knee.
Westbrook had a second surgery and was expected to miss the first month of the season, but received good news early Sunday when team doctors cleared him to play.
"Russell Westbrook has gone through a methodical rehab process jointly created by our medical and performance teams and treating physicians," Thunder general manager Sam Presti said. "The process has been instrumental in getting Russell to this point and has included various physical and medical benchmarks. The final benchmark being unrestricted basketball activity."
Westbrook, one of the most dynamic guards in the league since getting drafted No. 4 overall by OKC in 2008, averaged 23.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game a season ago.

Rainfall clogs drain, floods street
Last month's heavy rains caused flooding for a number of houses along Lee Lane, on the south side of H street near the Blaine Cemetery, when a surge of stormwater runoff sluiced out a recently excavated drainage ditch alongside new construction, clogging downstream storm drains.
Sandy Petersen, assistant director of Blaine public works, said the problem was caused by a 30-year-old drainage system on the south side of the hill that was "overwhelmed." He added that while storm drain junctions farther downstream toward Boblett Street have been overflowing for some years, new construction seems to have exacerbated the problem.
In particular, Petersen said that a ditch that a Blaine resident had replaced "meandered across the lot and was filled with junk, old engine blocks, that kind of thing, all of which slowed down the flow" toward the storm drain on his lot.
Finding out which local agency to go to in order to fix the problem has proven difficult for homeowners since they are convinced that much of the water flows from the north side of H street, inside city limits, downhill toward their property which is a few hundred feet outside the city.
County Executive Pete Kremen has agreed to meet with neighborhood representatives to explore solutions at 6 p.m. Monday, January 29, at the Blaine Library.

Six Flags is an Overvalued and Uncertain Investment
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Much like the roller coasters that sweep the skylines of its parks, Six Flags Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: SIX) has had its share of ups and downs over the last few years. Officially the world's biggest amusement park corporation in terms of physical size, Six Flags has had trouble living up to this billing in other facets of its business. As of last fall, insiders had been buying the stock at $30-$32 a share, though one prominent shareholder has recently begun to trim his holdings of SIX. Although the company has now reached a fortunate market valuation of nearly $47 a share, earnings difficulties, overvaluation indicators, and a general malaise over the leisure industry have investors feeling more like Clark Griswold than Clark Kent.
Looking at hedge fund activity, sentiment on the stock has been mixed. As of the end of last year, Altai Capital, Eagle Value Partners, Corsair Capital Management, and Stark Investments all sold about a quarter of their holdings in SIX. However, firms like H Partners Management, Trafelet Capital, and Braham Capital held significant portions of the stock and elected not to downsize. On the whole, there were 24 hedge funds with SIX positions at the end of the third quarter, with that number increasing to 28 at the end of the fourth quarter. Even though hedge fund interest has been increasing slightly, it is worth delving a little deeper into H Partners Management because the fund's manager Rehan Jaffer is also a large shareholder of SIX. On March 28th, 29th and 30th of this year, he parsed sequentially increasing amounts from his portfolio each day, and in total, 147,700 shares were sold. While these sales do not represent a major portion of Jaffer's holdings in SIX, the circumstances surrounding these transactions – they were incrementally larger – may be a sign that more selling is to come in the future.
Adding more uncertainty to the mix, fundamental analysis of Six Flags gives investors reason to pause. In part, constant earnings shortfalls have made it increasingly difficult to justify the stock as a sound investment; Six Flags has missed on four of its last five quarterly earnings estimates. Just look at the company's most recent earnings release in the fourth quarter of 2011 for an explanation of why this may be a regular occurrence. In this, corporate executives stated that the company reached sales goals, but missed the earnings mark by 20 percent, meaning that bloated expenditures are likely to blame. By looking at the income statement, we can see evidence of this sort of fiscal mismanagement. From Q3 to Q4 of 2011, revenues fell by $313 million, which was expected due to the seasonal nature of amusement park attendance. Unexpectedly, operating expenses were only trimmed by $61 million, forcing the company to report an overall loss on the quarter, translating into an earnings-per-share of -$1.85.
Now, negative EPS figures make it difficult for investors to properly value a company – traditional Price-Earnings ratios are now useless. As an alternative, we can use the Forward P/E, which uses earnings forecasts from a collection of analyst estimates. With a Forward P/E of 52.5X, SIX is overvalued in comparison to all of its major peers in the leisure industry, including Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MTN) at 35.7X, Town Sports International (NASDAQ: CLUB) at 17.3X, Life Time Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: LTM) at 16.1X, and International Speedway, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISCA) at 15.4X. Additionally, the current industry average P/E is 17.8X, shedding further light on SIX's inconvenient truth.
It is also worth delving into a few macroeconomic issues that are currently affecting these companies, and while these points do not solely affect SIX, they do have a blanketed effect on the entire leisure industry. Theme parks, in particular, are dependent on consumer confidence to generate business. As consumer confidence has stayed depressed since the most recent recession, consumer spending – particularly expenditures on vacation trips – has declined. A result of a feeble labor market, low home prices, and political uncertainty in both the U.S. and Europe, reduced consumer spending directly cuts into the revenues of companies like SIX, MTN, CLUB, LTM, and ISCA. Adding to this general malaise, higher oil prices have a dual-effect; by lowering the amount of disposable income consumers can spend on leisure while increasing transportation costs to the facilities of these companies.
For a final way to compare Six Flags with its peers, we can use the Price-Earnings-Growth ratio. The PEG ratio is a commonly used gauge of a stock's fair value, and the lower the better. In the typical financial literature, a stock with a PEG ratio below 2 is undervalued, between 2 and 3 it is fairly valued, and above 3 it is overvalued. Going through the same companies mentioned above, the 5-year expected PEG ratios are as follows: SIX at 5.08, MTN at 6.07, CLUB at 1.92, LTM at 1.20, and ISCA at 2.01. While we can see that Six Flags is not the most overvalued company amongst its competitors, it is definitely overpriced at its current market value. There may be better stocks in the leisure industry that investors can capitalize on. A year and a half ago we analyzed insider transactions in CLUB and were extremely bullish about the stock. It gained 400% since then (read our insider trading report). We still like the stock.
Lastly, it is clear that Six Flag's management is aware of these shortcomings, and in an attempt to offer more stability to investors, quarterly dividends have been increased tremendously. What used to be a payout of 6 cents per share is now 60 cents per share, amounting to a current dividend yield of 5.10 percent. This is certainly an impressive return, but it is possible that SIX's earnings difficulties and overvaluation may place downward pressure on the stock that will outweigh this dividend boost. All in all, Six Flags Entertainment Corp. (SIX) is an uncertain investment at this moment.

Medaille College presented a unique way of experiencing the city of Buffalo to its class of first-year students in fall 2010. Working in groups called learning communities, first-year students extended their learning beyond the classroom with projects that explored the history, ecology, technology, and urban landscape of Buffalo.
Community 101 Fair: Friday, December 10, 2010
See the video
On December 10, the Kevin I. Sullivan Campus Center at Medaille College was filled with over 350 first-year students as they presented the results of their community-based learning projects completed over their first semester at the college's annual Community 101 Fair.
Displaying multimedia and poster presentations to faculty, staff, students and community representatives, the goal of Community 101 is to extend learning beyond the classroom by exploring Buffalo's history, ecology, technology, leadership and more through hands-on research and collaboration with local organizations. Sample projects included:
Balanced Measures: Accommodating Individual and Community Needs: After examining various youth intervention agencies that service the city of Buffalo, students worked with youth at the Northwest Buffalo Community Center. Combining this experience with research on youth intervention agencies, students developed position papers on how communities can best serve at-risk youth through intervention and mentoring services.
Diversity and Immigration in Our Society: Through research and a service project with Journey's End, students explored the struggles that refugees face, myths about immigration, and the ways in which organizations in WNY work with refugees. As a result, students organized a campus donation drive in partnership with Journey's End and documented the achievements and challenges they experienced while working to serve refugee populations.
Strangers, Weirdoes, and Rebels: The Power and Danger of Difference in Society: After exploring the recent video campaign It Gets Better, which targets anti-gay bullying, students produced three powerful video messages to marginalized groups in their own community: LGBT youth, youth affected by poverty and homelessness, and incarcerated youth.
"Over the past few years, the Community 101 projects have shown how a renewed emphasis on contributing to the local community is reciprocally beneficial," said Brad E. Hollingshead, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Foundational Learning && Assessment at Medaille. "As students connect to the story and institutions of Buffalo, their creative energies and talents, as well as those of their teachers, are brought to bear on important local issues. At the same time, the opportunity for students to integrate and apply their classroom learning to real-world problems is a potent means for realizing the college's academic mission."

Community 101 (2009)
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

Pyloric stenosis (or infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis) is a condition that causes severe vomiting in the first few months of life. There is narrowing (stenosis) of the opening from the stomach to the intestines, due to enlargement (hypertrophy) of the muscle surrounding this opening (the pylorus, meaning "gate"), which spasms when the stomach empties.
Pyloric stenosis is a problem that affects babies between 2 and 8 weeks of age and causes forceful vomiting that can lead to dehydration. It is one of the most common problems requiring surgery in newborns. It affects 2-3 infants out of 1,000.
Babies with this condition usually have progressively worsening vomiting during their first weeks or months of life. The vomiting is often described as "non bilious" and "projectile vomiting", because it is more forceful than the usual spit ups commonly seen at this age.
Some infants also experience poor feeding and weight loss, but others demonstrate normal weight gain. Dehydration can also occur which may cause the baby to sleep excessively, to cry without tears, or have fewer wet or dirty diapers during a 24-hour period.
Constant hunger, belching, and colic are other possible signs of pyloric stenosis because the baby is not able to eat properly. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance are common problems and can prolong a hospital stay.
Diagnosing pyloric stenosis is made after taking a careful medical and family history, a physical examination and is often supplemented by radiographic studies. There should be suspicion of pyloric stenosis in any young infant with severe vomiting.
On exam, palpation of the abdomen may reveal a mass in the upper central region of the abdomen. This mass, which consists of the enlarged pylorus, is referred to as the "olive," and is sometimes evident after the infant is given formula to drink.
Feeling the mass by palpation is a diagnostic skill requiring much patience and experience. There are often palpable (or even visible) peristaltic waves due to the stomach trying to force its contents past the narrowed pyloric outlet.
In addition to a complete history and physical exam, certain diagnostic procedures are necessary in order to make the diagnosis of pyloric stenosis:
Traditional X-rays of the abdomen are not useful in diagnosing pyloric stenosis, except when needed to rule out other potential problems.
Surgery is necessary to treat pyloric stenosis. The danger of pyloric stenosis is not just the vomiting, but the resulting dehydration and electrolyte disturbances that have deep impact on a developing baby.
Therefore, the baby must be initially stabilized by correcting the dehydration and electrolyte imbalance with IV fluids and electrolyte supplementation. This can usually be accomplished in about 24-48 hours. Repeat labs will be done to ensure the electrolyte imbalance is corrected.
The baby will not be able to breast or bottle feed until the surgery has been performed to correct the pyloric stenosis. Many children are fussy in this pre-surgery time because they cannot eat, but it is extremely important to minimize the chances that they vomit. As a result, children with pyloric stenosis will be maintained on IV fluids to keep them hydrated before surgery.
Surgery for pyloric stenosis is done once lab results are acceptable. The medical name of the surgery is pyloromyotomy, in which surgeons divide the muscle of the pylorus to open up the gastric outlet.
At the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the pyloromyotemy is done through small incisions and with tiny scopes (laparoscopic). By doing laparoscopic surgery, we can minimize scarring, decrease potential infections and improve recovery time for children.
A few hours after the surgery, the child will be able to start feeding again. Some vomiting may be expected during the first days after surgery as the gastro-intestinal tract settles.
If vomiting continues we may prescribe an antacid. The stomach lining can become inflamed with the persistent vomiting. The antacid will help to protect the stomach and can be discontinued at the post-operative visit.
There is a chance that the child may have gastroesophageal reflux (GER). This will be diagnosed after surgery if the child is still having problems with frequent spitting up. You should follow up with your primary care provider to have further evaluation for gastroesophageal reflux.
Pyloric stenosis is unlikely to reoccur. Babies who have undergone surgery for pyloric stenosis should have no long-term effects from it.
To make an appointment to have your child evaluated by CHOP's Division of Pediatric General , Thoracic and Fetal Surgery, please call 215-590-2730.

Stretching 40 stories tall in the heart of downtown Chicago, the Hard Rock Hotel was bustling with press, musicians, fans and more at their VIP Suite this weekend for the Lollapalooza music festival. For their 5th year in a row, RED 7 SALON (based in both Evanston and Chicago, IL,) accommodated fans and ACTUAL Lolla artists Friday through Sunday in their private pop-up salon (located in the VIP suite).
Shower curtains line each station. It's Got2Be's creative vision of being able to "Shower anywhere" with their Dry Shampoo, which RED 7 SALON was promoting to customers.
Sponsored by Got2Be (a brand inspired by street styles and designed by stylists, and also the sister company of Schwarzkopf Professional), RED 7 stylists worked on a number of artists this weekend. This year, stylists were there to only cut or style, while promoting Got2Be's Dry Shampoo. "Got2Be sent us products to our salon for us to try out beforehand," says RED 7 SALON co-owner Jason Hall. "We have found that a handful of people who have visited us at the Lolla VIP suite have followed us to our outside locations because of meeting us here."

Celebrity Stylist Larry Sims (spokesperson for Got2Be) also attended the event, not only to promote the Got2Be brand but also to work on some celebrities. Simms has worked on celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Queen Latifah and Eve.
Curious to see which headliners stopped by the RED 7 SALON for a cut or style?
Friday: Walk the Moon, Iration, Girl Talk, Gemini Club, Ceci Bastida
Saturday: Electric Touch, Two Door Cinema Club, Elizaveta, Kill Hannah, Comedian Adam Guerino and Summer (Playboy centerfold)
Sunday: Typhoon, Hey Champ, Young the Giant, Taylor Momsen (from Gossip Girl), Skylar Grey, Bethany and Bob from Best Coast, Fat Jew
"This event is always fun for our team. It give us something different to do rather than working on location day-to-day," says Hall. "It's all about the experience of doing great hair, great service and meeting wonderful people along the way. We like doing an out-of-the-box experience every once in awhile at RED 7."

Comments about InvitationsByDawn for Love Never Fails - Invitation:
Product Comments: I was nervous after reading a few reviews, thinking that maybe the printing would be too small or there would be a color error but I was so excited to open my box of perfect invitations! The shimmer paper was amazing :) Best quality I've seen!
Service Comments: Priority shipping to Canada was extremely fast... 5 days! I read the fine print and knew there would be a customs brokerage fee when Fed Ex delivered my package. My order was $600 and fee was $77. A lot of money but I am completely satisfied with my perfect invitations!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Service Comments: I was not notified of a brokerage fee upon delivery when it was advertised "free shipping and delivery" My invitations came in the wrong colour and I am still waiting for the right ones to arrive ...Invitations by Dawn has let me down and was a real disappointment. I WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING INVITATIONS BY DAWN TO ANYONE!!

About Me bride
Product Comments: I loved the look, style, card stock, everything about the invitations! Beautiful! Highly recommended invitations by dawn!
By Tifffrom Yakima
Product Comments: We had an invitation picked already but once we seen this one we switched, no hesitation!
Product Comments: We absolutely loved these invitations, and so did our guests! We bought the wedding invitations, RSVP card and envelope, the liner envelopes, and the reception card that we actually used as an accommodations card. The best thing about this product and invitations by dawn is the personalization you can do! You can completely rework any of the wording, so create whatever YOU need! We also loved the 1st Corinthians quote, the font is beautiful, we used the melon I believe, the one that looks like coral, and black as our base colors, they are lovely. We chose a thicker card stock and I'm glad we went with something with more weight- it is your wedding! So many guests commented on how lovely our invitations were- not the usual boring standard ones that everyone sends! The artwork on the back of the invitation is so beautiful as well, it's not just blank like most! We LOVED these invites!
Service Comments: I ordered samples thinking they would come in the colors I selected, but they just send whatever samples they have, not color specific. To get color specific samples, you can contact their customer support team and they will help get you samples in the colors you want to see. I was choosing between the coral color and I think melon and they sent me samples to help decide. They were helpful and professional through the entire process! My invitations came in very quickly, much quicker than I expected, were packed very nicely and safely, and came perfectly undamaged and looked wonderful!
By Cassiefrom Atlanta, GA
Product Comments: Loved that I could change to colors to match my wedding colors. Did not like that the print was flat. I would have liked it better if it did not look like I printed on my desktop printer. Other than that is it a really beautiful invitation.
By OCDBridefrom Kansas
Product Comments: This invitation and its matching set is just so perfect for me and my future husband. It combines Christianity and romance perfectly. It is so elegant with the lines and font, too. The only issue we had was that we ordered one color for the invitation, and when they arrived, they were not the color we expected. I called Invitations by Dawn, and they took care of the problem immediately and promptly - free of charge. Great experience all around!
By n/afrom Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Product Comments: Guest of my wedding just received their inviations and I am getting tons of compliments! I was nervous at first about ordering my wedding invitations online but customer service was awesome and everyone I spoke to made me feel at ease. When I did finally place my order I made some changes to my proofs; in about one hours time I called back 8 times and spoke with the same person who was so nice and just made the changes I wanted without any problems at all.
By KPerryfrom Omaha, NE
Product Comments: I had to buy ceremony cards since the font was too small to read. Make sure you don't use too many lines.

I own a Nikon Coolpix L310 (14.1mp, ccd, 21x zoom, wide lens), its like the younger sibling of this L810 which is priced at Rs 11.5k. My freind owns a L810, and I got to tell you, if you are thinking about going with this camera, you rather go and get the L310! After using my L310 for a long time, I found certain cons on the L810 which are not there on L310-

The image stabilisers delivers super sharp images even at 14x zoom(unless you are violently shaking).At 26x I was amazed to capture details with clarity(thanks to the EXPEED C2 image processor also).It looks and feels like a DSLR but is m... (Expand)
What a camera. The clarity of photos during night & the truck loads of modes just make the experience delighful.
For amateurs like me, it would take half an hour to get used to the basic functionalities.

Wanted to buy a camera but wanted to restrict myself to 15k otherwise sky can be the limit if someone wants to spend money on a camera.

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
TAL Education Group
Another under-$10 stock that's setting up to trigger a near-term breakout trade is TAL Education Group (XRS), a holding company for a group of companies engaged in the provision of after-school tutoring programs for primary and secondary school students in the People's Republic of China. This stock is off to a slow start so far in 2012, with shares down by around 12%.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy in October
If you take a look at the chart for TAL Education Group, you'll see that this stock has been uptrending rather strong for the last month and change, with shares rising from a low of $6.97 to its recent high of $8.72 a share. During that uptrend, shares of XRS have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed XRS within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.Market players should now look for long-biased trades in XRS as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $8.72, and then once it manages to trigger a break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $9.03 to $9.16 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 86,415 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then XRS will setup to re-test and possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $10.04 to $10.31, and at $11 to $11.37 a share. Traders can look to buy XRS off any weakness as long as it maintains its trend above its 50-day at $8.21 a share. You could also buy off strength once XRS clears those breakout levels with volume, and simply use a stop just below some near-term support at $8.65 to $8.50 a share.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities say a man accused of shooting his girlfriend and her three teenage daughters in a neighborhood near Nashville has surrendered to officials in Memphis.
Shelby County Sheriff's Office spokesman Earnest Moore told WSMV-TV that Earnest Moore, who also goes by Earnest Woodley, turned himself in around 4:20 a.m. Sunday.
Nashville police were expected to travel to Memphis and bring him back.
Officials in Nashville and Memphis did not immediately return calls left by The Associated Press.
Police say Moore shot 34-year-old Nicole Luke and her daughters Friday afternoon in an apartment complex in the city's Madison neighborhood.
Police say 1 of the teens who was shot has been released from Vanderbilt University Hospital. The others remain hospitalized in stable condition.

Dialysis is the process in which the blood supply is filtered through a machine because the kidneys are not able to perform this function. Since dialysis patients have a weakened immune system and the dialysis process involves entering the bloodstream, there is an increased risk for acquiring a bloodstream infection.There is the potential for person-to-person transmission of infections at dialysis clinics because several patients may be receiving treatment at the same time. The equipment, supplies, and staff working at the facility are also potential sources of transmission of pathogens. Therefore, it is very important for all equipment, supplies and surfaces to be properly cleaned between each treatment. There are two main types of dialysis-related infections:
Colorado conducts surveillance on dialysis infections for outpatient dialysis centers only. Peritoneal dialysis and home dialysis are not included in the reported data. The outpatient facilities may be dedicated, stand-alone facilities, hospital-based or affiliated units that primarily serve dialysis patients.
Dialysis infection rates are reported for both LAIs and ARBs. The infection rates are calculated by dividing the total number of patients by the total number of infections (either LAI or ARB) and then multiplying that number by 100. This gives the infection rate per 100 patients for both LAI and ARB. These rates are then compared to the national infection rates for both LAI and ARB and classified as statistically lower (better) than the national rate, statistically similar (same) as the national rate, or statistically higher (worse) than the national rate.

A woman was in court Friday for robbing the PNC Bank in Cheviot.
Lauren Taylor, 30, is charged with robbery. Her bond was set at $25,000.
The robbery happened earlier this month at the branch located on Bridgetown Road.
Authorities say no weapon was shown or implied in the robbery. The teller was given a note.
The woman then fled on foot headed westbound on Bridgetown Road.
A police dog and helicopter were both used but were unable to track the suspect at the time. Taylor was arrested on Thursday after police searched her father's residence and found a note matching the handwriting and paper from the robbery.

Product Details
Would you like to give feedback on images?.
The almanac portion of the booklet is laid out alphabetically, so while playing you can find answers to specific questions quickly. Useful entries remind you exactly what role pieces like the robber play, how actions like maritime trade work, and how to set up the board or finish the game.
Exploring and Developing Catan
The board consists of 19 terrain hexes surrounded by the ocean. Each type of terrain produces a different type of resource: brick, wool, ore, grain or lumber. There's also a desert hex that produces no resources. As the game progresses, players use resources to build roads along the edges of these hexes and settlements or cities on the intersections where three hexes meet. Each player begins the game with two settlements and two roads.
Each player's roll of the dice causes certain hexes to produce resources, which you collect if you have a settlement on one of them. On your turn, you'll use various combinations of the resources you've acquired to build new roads and settlements, upgrade settlements to cities, or purchase development cards. The ability to trade resources with other players adds a new level of strategy and ensures that the game includes lots of interaction between players. You can also trade without worrying about other players using an unfavorable maritime trade rate. Elements including a robber piece that lets you steal from other players and a variety of development cards add intrigue to the game.
The objective of The Settlers of Catan is to be the first one who collects 10 victory points. Each settlement is worth one victory point and each city is worth two victory points. You can also earn victory points by holding the "Longest Road" card, the "Largest Army" card, or special victory point development cards.
Best-Selling Game of the Year
It's easy to see why The Settlers of Catan has been recognized as a best-selling Game of the Year in both Germany and the U. S. We found this game to be fun and engaging for both children and adults, and the variable nature of the playing field really made us want to play again and again. When we started pausing to contemplate our opponents' strategy and factoring the probability of different dice rolls into our moves, the game sometimes took longer than expected, but we were so engrossed we didn't even notice until it was all over.
Due to the widespread popularity of the original game, several expansion sets (sold separately) are available that allow you to explore new aspects of the game or add more players. The only downside to this game is that you need to have either three or four players to play, so it's great that expansion sets are available that will allow you to add players.
What's in the Box
Six sea frame pieces, 19 terrain hexes, nine harbor pieces, 18 circular number tokens, 126 game cards, 16 cities, 20 settlements, 60 roads, two dice, a robber and a rules and almanac booklet.
I highly recommend it to anyone that likes to play games with friends or family.
I was introduced to this game a few years ago at a family gathering and now every time we get together this is the game everyone wants to play.
This is a very unique game that is easy to learn and you can use a variety of strategies each time you play.

RACINE, WI (WTAQ) - A Racine County teenager has been ordered not to play video games because of a recent outburst.
The 17-year-old's mother says her teen is addicted to gaming and gets angry.
His latest outburst led to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct when his mother allegedly disconnected the Playstation 3.
According to the criminal complaint, the teen then went on a rampage of threats and throwing things.
While on signature bond, the teen has been ordered not to play games until his court date next month.

I loved the turkey tenderloin. I couldn't find prepared jerk seasoning so I made my own (from a Bobby Flay recipe I think). Browning on top of the stove and finishing in the oven kept them tender and juicy. Now for the bad news and the reason for only two stars...the amount of onion must be a mistake. Four cups is a huge amount of onion! I have trusted Cooking Light recipes for years, so with reservations I followed exactly, and oh my, what a smelly house I had! The rice was pretty awful. As the other reviewer said, 1/2 cup is plenty. I usually check the reviews and I'm sorry I didn't this time. Boy, that's some typo!
Jerk-Seasoned Turkey with Black Beans and Yellow Rice
Randy Mayor; Cindy Barr
Stir the black beans into the rice just before serving so there's less chance of discoloration. Serve with a tossed salad to round out the meal.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 cup rice mixture and about 3 ounces turkey)

Another buck, what a year! Two states!
At 3PM I was sitting in a chair behind some thick brush with the hill rising up behind me. I had opted not to climb that old wooden stand. I had cleared a little shooting lane in front of me as it was very thick at the ground level around me. Out in the green field in the middle to my left was a small stand of evergreens running from my 6 O'clock to 10 O'clock. As I sat there I wondered if I should have taken a chance with the ladder stand or maybe try another site. From my little spot on the ground I realized it was a tight view for sure. Even though I had my doubts I decided to stay where I was. It kept nagging me for a bit but I finally decided to stay committed to the spot for better or worse.
After some time, I saw movement in front of me! One doe came out then another and then more! Finally I had 5 does out at my 12 O'clock at 3:45PM. They started to walk right towards me. Oh, no! They will step on me the way they are coming! They hit the Code Blue Standing Estrous Scent I had laid out in a straight line between my 9 O'clock and 3 O'clock and stopped!
I noticed the doe to my left stopped feeding and was at alert looking almost into the setting sun. What is going on? Then the doe next to her started to stare at the same spot. Very carefully and slowly, I looked to my left. I caught a glimpse of antlers! He was walking through that stand of evergreens. I hoped he would be big enough to shoot.
I figured his pace and placed my scope at to where I figured he would pop out. There he was! I quickly counted the antlers. Yep, he was a shooter!
Just as I placed the cross hairs of my Leupold 3x9x50mm scope on him he turned his head to look at me while still at broadsides. It was an amazing pose I will always carry in my memory. I let the Remington 700SS 30.06 bark with my Hornady Custom 165grain SST interlock bullet. He dropped right there! I was amazed, or lucky, or fortunate but just like the 6 pointer I got with a bow this year and with all the deer I have taken in the past a various ranges, gun or bow, the deer drop right there. Maybe someone up there thinks I am not a good tracker. Whatever, I was happy this buck dropped right there. I got up and could tell right away this was my best buck ever!
I donated the meat to a needy family in town but I did keep the antlers so I can mount it on an antler plaque.
