I had a story in Sunday's paper about how St. Joe's has named Dennis Gilbert its new football coach.
Today the school made the official announcement on its Web site.
Some of the quotes:
Gilbert: "Obviously, a great deal of the football knowledge that I've obtained over the past three decades has been taught to me by Bob [O'Connor]. From a philosophical standpoint, my plan going forward is to utilize some of those same general schemes while, at the same time, making sure to tailor our game plans to the specific strengths of our student-athletes."
Robert T. Scott, AFSC, President/Principal of St. Joe's: "We are very excited to announce our selection of Dennis Gilbert as the next head football coach at St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute. Dennis's familiarity with our school's longstanding traditions and Lasallian values, coupled with the intrinsic commitment and sense of community that comes along with graduating from St. Joe's, really made him an ideal choice to lead the next generation of St. Joe's student-athletes."
It is St. Joe's hiring a St. Joe's guy, and not just a St. Joe's guy but an O'Connor guy. I would think Marauder fans would like that kind of keep-it-in-the-family transition, especially based on what O'Connor was able to do with the program.

Phoenix Sports Editor
Everyone who knows Wagoner knows about Lawrence Evitt.
The Bulldogs' junior running back has a shot at a 3,000-yard rushing year.
Fort Gibson coach James Singleton knows Evitt from a preseason scrimmage and he also knows Anadarko, the team his Tigers fell in last week's quarterfinals, 46-20. When he was asked earlier this week what he saw as the key to tonight's matchup between Anadarko and Wagoner, he didn't say Evitt.
Rather, Decarius Clark.
The 5-foot-8, 140-pound Clark is the guy who hands the ball off to Evitt. He'll throw it too. But he also starts at cornerback, serves as punter and is also the punt return guy, kicks off and boots extra points.
Wagoner coach Dale Condict didn't say Evitt either.
"I'd say the key is going to be up front because they're a little bit bigger than we are," Condict said.
Then he started to chuckle.
"But you know, when you think of it, as much as Decarius is going to be on the field, I'd say there are a number of ways for him to be key," he then added.
Clark had to come in at cornerback when Kerwin Thomas was lost for the season with an injury — one of two losses the Bulldogs, winners of 11 straight since a season-opening loss to Coweta, have had in the secondary. He wasn't supposed to kick but he eventually replaced a sophomore kicker.
He's a threat to run the ball at quarterback, but has instead dished it often to Evitt, who's done his thing. T.J. Ponds has also had a good year at fullback.
"It's not that if we do run him that it's up the gut," Condict said. "At 5-8, 140 I'm not sure I want to let him take those kind of shots.
"But at that size, I'll say this: He throws the ball a lot stronger than I ever thought he would. He can throw a 12- to 15-yard curl pretty much on the money and is about as accurate on any other throw as anyone we've had. Twenty touchdowns and five interceptions in 12 games? I'll take that any year."
Clark is the third Bulldogs' quarterback in three seasons. Before him was Prince McJunkins, who started about 3 1/2 seasons, getting the Bulldogs into a state championship game two years ago against Douglass. Last year, it was Taylor Bosco who drove the bus to the championship win against Clinton.
Bosco had behind him Kevin Peterson, who averaged 10 yards per carry and was the decisive figure in the 23-0 win over Clinton before moving on to Oklahoma State where he roams the secondary.
Clark has Evitt.
"I've got him and I've got T.J.," he said. "But I ain't afraid to run the ball myself. I just choose not to. I've taken some shots but I just mentally get over it. I don't want to quit when I'm in that position.
"If those guys don't run with the ball, then I'll throw. But if that doesn't work out, I'm going to run. And I think you'll see me run more now."
Condict realizes he has to preserve his quarterback somewhat because of his contributions on defense.
"We have to control the number of big plays," Condict said. "Anadarko's a big-play team. Fort Gibson's up 14-0 the first quarter, Anadarko's running back (R.J. Sink) goes 92 yards for a touchdown and it helps turn the game around."
Sink later broke one for 56 yards and a touchdown to start the second half. It was his fourth of five touchdowns. The Warriors would go on to shut out the Tigers in the second half, 25-0, and moved to 12-0 on the year.
"They like to run," Condict said. "We've got a pretty good defensive line. If they break the line of scrimmage the secondary is going to have to prevent them from breaking it. They feed off big plays."
Wagoner feeds off its own confidence, though.
"It's been something, even with some tough breaks with personnel and injuries, how these guys have come out with the attitude that 'we're Wagoner and we're going to win.' They've certainly had a swagger and I guess they've earned that. They haven't accomplished yet what last year's team did but what they've done so far they've done against adversity."
Clark's swagger showed a bit this week when he talked about Anadarko.
"Defensively we've played against better but they're OK. They just don't scare me," he said. "Cleveland was just as good, Oologah was good and Sallisaw blitzed every single down and gave us a hard time. So I think we've seen better.
"With our defense, we have the people to shut them down and I think we will."
The winner faces the Ada-Clinton survivor, most likely next Saturday at OSU's Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater.

Southern Middle student finalist in national contest
by Chris Harris
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
Usually, people in Somerset go to Google.com when they want a little help. This time, Google came to Somerset.
Savannah Lyle, a seventh-grade student at Southern Middle School, has a chance to see her own hand-created artwork on Google's home page for a full day — along with a bunch of other nifty prizes, both for her and her school.
Lyle entered the "Doodle4Google" contest, open to students K-12 throughout the U.S. Those entering drew their own "Google Doodle," similar to the creative, quirky manipulations of the web browsing giant's logo frequently seen on their homepage. The company has their own artists who do the "doodles" normally, but the contest (now in its sixth year) allows America's youth to get into the mix.
Best of all? The public will get to vote on which drawing they like best — meaning Pulaski County can turn out full force in Lyles' favor.
Lyle, 13, is Kentucky's representative in the field, and her school found this out Wednesday at a special ceremony at Southern Middle. Representatives from Google's offices in New York showed up for the occasion, fielded questions from students, and presented Lyle's exquisitely detailed depiction of her "Best Day Ever," the theme of this year's contest.
Lyle's entry was called "Ticket to Ride on a Sunny Day," illustrating a fun-filled outing at an amusement park. Lyle said she had numerous ideas on how to meet the theme — bringing to life the best day of her life in art form — but was ultimately inspired by her family's trip to Disney World about a year ago.
"I was looking at the letters (in "Google") and all of them seemed to fit this theme," said Lyle. "I thought I could make them into something."
Lyle got help from the Google visitors unveiling a large portrait of her art for the student body at Southern Middle during the assembly, amid cheers and clapping from her proud peers.
Lyle's father, Grady, said she learned of the honor a few days ago, and the reaction was "pleasantly surprised" — although it was no shock that Lyle had artistic talent.
"We're very proud of her," he said. "Of course, she does a lot of doodling at the house, drawing and coloring Of course, we always think it's good, but most parents think their kids' stuff is good. It's nice for it to get recognized in this way.
"She's had to keep (the news) under wraps for the last week, which is kind of difficult for a 13-year-old," he added.
Lyle's entry was one of a whopping 130,000 from all around the country. Those were whittled down to a field of 250 state finalists. As a state winner, Lyle will get a trip to New York City for the final awards ceremony on May 22, a t-shirt emblazoned with her own doodle artwork, and be featured in a special exhibit at New York's American Museum of Natural History.
According to Google.com, the doodle drawn by the national winner will be featured on the U.S. Google homepage for 24 hours on May 2, 2013. The overall winner will also get a $30,000 college scholarship, a Google Chromebook, a Wacom digital design tablet, and a t-shirt printed with his or her doodle on it.
Plus, the winner's school a $50,000 grant towards the establishment of a computer lab or technology programming.
"I'm very proud of Savannah; she's a great student and role model for everybody," said Troy Dotson, principal at Southern Middle. "(The money for the school) would be an added bonus for us, but we're just so proud of her and hope she wins this scholarship. That would be awesome for her."
Google representative Debra LoCastro was excited to make the trip, her first time in Kentucky, joining friend and Google colleague Ashley, a Louisville native.
"We love it! It's been so fun for me," she said. "What a week! It's Derby week. It's a pleasure for us to come out here and connect with some of our younger users."
LoCastro noted that "a lot of people" were judging the contest's largest-ever field — including celebrities like journalist Katie Couric, Olympic gymnast and "Dancing With the Stars" contest Aly Raisman, and drummer for The Roots Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson — and clearly saw something special in Lyle's entry.
"I think Savannah was chosen because of her obvious artistic talent," said LoCastro, "but also the way she was able to convey her best day ever. It was very clear and in line with the theme that Google put forth."
Though Lyle is clearly a skilled artist, she's also into other visual fields, with an interest in fashion design. Additionally, she's skilled at the writing art of calligraphy, according to her parents. Still, when asked if she'd like to be an artist when she grows up, Lyle replied, "Yeah, sure!"
Regarding the whole experience, Lyle added, "I'm very excited. It's been awesome. I was, like, ecstatic (after learning of the honor). My mom went crazy about it. She was jumping up and down and stuff."
To vote for Lyle to win, go to www.doodle4google.com and click the "Voting" header, then go to the "6-7" category among the grade groups. Lyle will be listed under "Savannah L., KY." You can vote one time per account for each grade group. Voting goes until May 10 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

Every once in a while, I've added examples to the Wal-Mart Foe Hyperbole Watch (bottom of post).
Now comes one act of hyperbole that will be tough to top:
- [Charles] Smith had wanted to make a point by comparing the giant retail company to the Nazis. So he created slogans playing off the Bentonville, Ark., firm's familiar logo, including "I {heart} WAL*OCAUST. They have family values and their alcohol, tobacco and firearms are 20% off."
Let's see, selling cheap stuff versus rounding up millions of innocent people and murdering them.
It's unlikely that such self-righteous pap will win over many people to the anti WM side. WM's efforts to try to stop Smith from selling his shirts are stupid and wrong. The man should have the right to sell his silly shirts, but stuff like this probably helps the critics of WM critics make the point that many foes of the biggest box have completely lost it.

My swelling I think would be considered moderate but it does cause pain. My legs and ankles ache almost all the time.
I take Gabapenting for nerve pain in my legs, I have significant nerve damage there. Also take Monopril 10mg for B.P. I am on Fosomax for osteroporsis.
Thanks for any input
Mary Ann
Take care, Annette
I was going to go to the ER but had nobody to watch my son. I have an appointment next Monday at my normal doc. but if the twitching doesn't stop and swelling isn't gone (it's gone down and pain is gone mostly) I'm going to urgent care tomorrow. I will let you know if it is indeed my back for sure or not!
Perhaps your pcp will know what you should do, I would not skip seeing a doctor just because the swelling is gone. Your word should be good enough for the doctor.
Take care, Annette
I would not assume the swelling and the spinal disc problems are related, they may indeed not be.
Take care, Annette
Have you had any medical opinion on your symptoms since your post?
Consider switching to Lyrica. It's more effective with fewer side effects.
A herniated disc over three years ago would not cause your ankle to "swell up". Nor knee pain.
You must be under the care of a physician since someone must be prescribing you Gabapentin, which does contribute to lower extremity edema for many.
So, it sounds as if your belief system is that you go to an MD for diagnosis. If the MD diagnoses you with something other the what you think, then the MD is wrong and he should be screwed.
With years of medical education and training, your believe that they don't know what they're talking about, and most are like used car salesmen.
If an MD cannot positively diagnose you with the "diagnosis that your body knows", the course of treatment should be to look elsewhere.
Where, pray tell, should one then look?
If your prescribed dose of Gabapentin makes you excessively sleepy, you could discuss this with the next doctor with whom you consult.
Most times this can be resolved by a lower dose or, if not, your body should become accustomed to the drowsiness within a few weeks.
The term, "pinched nerve" is not used anymore as it doesn't describe the true neurological situation. The more appropriate term is herniated disc.
Regarding the supposition that, "anything can happen (when nerves get pinched)", Actually, the pathophisiology of herniated disc is quite predictable and the level of the herniation is relatively easily attributed to the subjective symptoms of which the patient complains.
Most herniated discs, up to 80% by some studies, heal themselves with no medical intervention.
DO NOT SWITCH TO THIS DRUG This drug has caused me to attempt suicide 2X now. No history of depression prior to taking this drug or since stopping this drug.
Lyrica has the same side effects has Gabapentin in a lot of people do not take this drug at a docs word do your on research!!!

PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Superstorm Sandy dropped heavy snow across West Virginia on Tuesday, leaving many folks digging out their shovels.
While most areas across the state were forecast to get several inches of snow, some towns got a little more than expected. One of those areas is Hurricane in Putnam County.
Roger Hughes spent his lunch break Tuesday, shoveling snow at his mother-in-law's home in Hurricane.
"It's very, very heavy," he said. "And we have trees bent down this morning ready to break. So that was a concern to us with this kind of heavy snow."
Hughes said he got about 5 or 6 inches of snow overnight -- an amount he wasn't expecting.
"Surprised. We thought it would be a skiff of snow. We're just surprised to see this this morning," Hughes said.
"I didn't think we was going to get this much snow," Hurricane resident Louis Smith said. "We haven't seen this much snow in a little while."
It was quite the surprise for Louis Smith, as well. Smith was digging out a parking lot, as inches of slush and snow started to pile up.
"I wasn't real sure I was going to make it to work," he said.
Those conditions were seen throughout much of Putnam County. Heavy snow closed parts of Route 34, left tree branches snapped in half and caused power lines to fall across roadways.
Jerry Maynard was checking on his daughter and granddaughters who called and told him they lost power.
"Unfortunately, the area I live in up here we get this two to three times a year because some large pine trees on the hill, the wet snow and wet ground, they come down and take the lines out," Maynard said.
Now folks are left digging out as this surprising early winter snow continues to fall.
"If you don't get started now it'll probably never get done," Hurricane resident Jacob Howell said.
Forecasters said Putnam County was expected to get anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of snow. Those amount ranged from anywhere to an inch in the valley towns to 6 inches on the hills.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The ban on guns in Mecklenburg County parks will have to wait.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Commission voted Tuesday night to have the county attorney look at the ordinance and present new options on May 7. The ordinance is aimed at setting stricter gun laws at public parks.
Two weeks ago, the commission rescheduled the vote to Tuesday when it was apparent a deeper discussion on the ordinance was in order.
"I like to find something that addresses the concerns of the pro-gun community and those who say guns are a threat, and find someplace we can all find a balance," said District 5 Commissioner, Matthew Ridenhour.
He believes the ordinance, as it is written, is too vague and restrictive.
It prohibits concealed weapon permit holders from being 25 feet from certain recreational facilities and areas. These include athletic fields, playgrounds and swimming pools.
"There is no provision in state statute for a 25 feet buffer zone, so I think that needs to go," said Ridenhour. "I think we get into trouble if we start looking at 25 feet barriers, 50 feet barriers or banning from all buildings and restrooms. Then we get into a grey area where we will be challenged by others in the pro-gun community."
The commissioner plans to propose what he says would be a compromise: to restrict guns among active participants in sports events and at all playgrounds.
Paul Valone with Grass Roots North Carolina believes that when "gun-free" zones are created, it attracts violent predators.
He said, compared to other municipalities the group is currently monitoring, Mecklenburg County's proposed ordinance is at least in line with what the statute intended.
He also said if the county passes the 25 feet restriction guideline, the ordinance may still be legally challenged.
"We would prefer they pass no ordinance whatsoever and not restrict handguns in parks in any way, shape or form," he said.
Opinions are mixed. Some parents told NBC Charlotte they don't mind people carrying guns at the playgrounds while others want to see more police patrol and no guns.
"There should absolutely not be guns on the playground. There is no reason for it. I don't need to come to the park wondering if someone's gun will go off," said Kawana Heggins.
Her husband, Dennis agreed.
"Why would you want to bring a gun to a place with all these kids, especially if you have kids? I understand they have the right to carry but you can accidentally shoot someone, a child or yourself. You just never know."

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Coach Q&A: Fontenot on the TE's role, Finley
Green Bay --- In this week's Coach Q&A, tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot talks about the role of the tight end in Green Bay's offense and whether starter Jermichael Finley is turning a corner:
Q: Mike McCarthy has often spoke about how much the tight end means to this offense. Why is it so important?
Fontenot: "Well, I think because it gives you the dynamic of not tipping your hat to the defense. We have guys who are big bodies. They can lean on you, they can block you at the point of attack. They can cut off on the back side. They can operate in space in the run game as well. And in the passing game, we have guys with good speed who can stretch the field and guys you have to account for when they're on the field. All those things being said, I think that ultimately having big guys who are fast and can catch are a great commodity."
Q: Safe to say they have to have some fullback in them, too?
Fontenot: "In the run game, there are certain guys who specialize in that kind of thing that are better at it than others. So I think that's probably a little bit more specific to a general body type but still we ask our guys to do that. So all of our guys need to be able to handle that kind of a load, too."
Q: Has the position been evolving since you've been here?
Fontenot: "As athletic and as big as guys are today, now you can play tight ends out at wide receiver and move them as far in or as far out as you want. It's interesting to see how defenses react to that because defenses have to play a certain way against that kind of a body outside. So as far as the evolution of things, that's probably the most indicative factor for me."
Q: Is Jermichael Finley turning a corner these past couple weeks?
Fontenot: "At the beginning of the season, we focused on getting better at some things. I think overall our attention to detail—just running routes the right way, getting in position to get open—and creating opportunities, that's what we've focused on. And I think overall, we've progressed. Are we where we want to be? Probably not. You're always wanting to tweak things and get better at certain things. I think overall, our group has improved."
Q: That attention to detail, is that something you get over time? How difficult is that for Finley and all of the tight ends?
Fontenot: "Specific to their cases, I think I've probably benefited more for having them play for me than me coaching them just from the standpoint of they understand certain intricacies of running routes and certain intricacies of knowing where they need to be on the field during certain concepts. But as we move forward, as my grasp of that on-the-field application has increased, overall it's been a mutually beneficial arrangement. I can give them things from my experience playing and they've done a good job. They want to get better and they're hungry to play well. I'm very fortunate to have those guys in the room."
Q: Why do you think Finley was not a big part of the passing game for a while?
Fontenot: "I think it's just about creating opportunities. If you're in the right spot and getting where you need to be when you need to be there, you get opportunities. The other side of that is your production level will probably indicate how many opportunities there are. Overall, we're improving in all those areas. And the bottom line is let's help our team win football games."
Q: When you two work together at practice and he's at the jugs machine, Finley seems to catch everything. Why do you think he has the drops in games?
Fontenot: "I'd be remiss if I even ventured a guess as to what happens. The only thing I can say with any assurance at all is that focusing on the ball and the fundamentals of seeing the ball all the way in and obviously building confidence is… highly competitive guys do well and expect a lot of themselves, sometimes they get too hard on themselves and sometimes guys aren't hard enough on themselves. A lot of that is mental, too. I think more than anything, it's mental. So my focus was just, 'Hey, let's get back to having fun playing football.' That's what this game is all about."
Q: Do you think he's getting there?
Fontenot: "Yeah. I think we're improving."
Q: Tom Crabtree, Ryan Taylor and D.J. Williams. What's something in each of them you're looking for?
Fontenot: "When you mention those names, those are guys who just do whatever you ask them to do. And obviously they want to contribute as much as they possibly can. They've been more than able and willing participants. Like I said earlier about 'Crabby,' you talk about maximizing opportunities, he hasn't been targeted a bunch but he has a couple touchdowns. That goes a long way. That goes a long way in helping our team win. For all of those guys, whenever they've gotten the opportunity they've fought their rear ends off and earned opportunities. So it's nice to see whenever that comes to fruition. Everyone has a role. Sometimes guys aren't contributing as much as they'd like but they just have to wait for their turn."
Q: Can Andrew Quarless give you something this year?
Fontenot: "He's still practicing so we'll have to see how things progress. Hopefully soon."

Eddie: I would be remiss if I even ventured to speculate as to whether, or not, your statement is true.
You should have your app in for the next opening!
Impressive number of ways to answer, " I have no clue what's between his ears" as to Finley.
Plus one, jvl. That was good.
I see "pad level" in this guys future interviews.
Did anyone understand what he was talking about?
The TE position, outside of a few great plays on O by Crabs, is to me THE most under-performing group on the team this year, ST play notwithstanding ...maybe I expected too much, but somehow it seems as if this group pulled a disappearing act for most of the season...
Agree with all of the above. Finley aside, the whole group has been largely invisible this year. Especially noticeable with Jennings out of rotation. As for Finely, specifically, I've always been a fan but just don't see the dramatic step up in performance that equates to his talent. He's still "detailing" his game. Please. He's either where he needs to be when he needs to be there or he's not. He either catches the ball or he doesn't. At this stage he should have the details down.Hide replies
But the invisible Finley is worth $10 mil per year....just ask him or his mouthy agent.
I think Quarless would be a nice boost for the O given his blocking prowess and good receiving skill set....he looks to be the best well rounded TE. Finley is one dimensional. When he is one the field, the D knows a pass is coming.
Another assistant coach that has not had his unit under performing. You can add him to the list of Campen, Bennett, or Van Pelt. There are talented guys on this team that are not playing all that well. Keeping 5 TE's last year and this year 4 would imply that some of these guys have talent.
When teams play the Packers they are playing a cover 2 defense more and more. What consistently beats cover 2 is good TE play. They lack of any threat at TE is as big or bigger problem than the lack of running game. Shouldn't the TE coach know exactly why his #1 TE drops a lot of passes?

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian stocks fell Tuesday as investors locked in profits after strong recent gains and on caution ahead of the U.S. earnings season, with Japanese shares dropping as the yen strengthened.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/delayed JP:NIK -0.16% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/delayed HK:HSI +0.10% each ended 0.9% lower.
China's Shanghai Composite /quotes/zigman/1858913/delayed CN:000001 +1.12% and Taiwan's Taiex /quotes/zigman/1565586/delayed XX:Y9999 -1.39% gave up 0.4% each, South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/delayed KR:SEU -0.31% slid 0.7%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884/delayed AU:XJO +0.18% shed 0.6%.
"News flow [is] light and investors cautious after the recent rally, but I think we continue to see newly allocated monies continuing to support the market," said Hong Kong-based market commentator Andrew Sullivan.

Wildfires are raging through parts of southern Australia, leaving behind a path of destruction.
The decline came after a lower finish on Wall Street Monday, before the start of the fourth-quarter earnings season this week, with markets also watching political developments to resolve the debt ceiling issue. Read: U.S. stocks retreat after last week's climb.

The drop for Tokyo stocks came even as Kyodo News reported, citing unnamed sources close to the matter, that Japan's emergency fiscal stimulus package to boost its economy will be worth more than 20 trillion yen ($229 billion).
Furthermore, the yen advanced as ministers were quoted in other media reports as saying the government will make a 2% inflation target part of a new policy accord with the Bank of Japan, but won't set a deadline for reaching that target.
"[The] yen appears to be stabilizing as investors wait for the next Bank of Japan meeting," said Sullivan, adding that traders were also mindful of technical indicators suggesting the market was "overbought."
Mazda Motor Corp. /quotes/zigman/195040/delayed JP:7261 +1.30% fell 5%, Nissan Motor Co. /quotes/zigman/196473/delayed JP:7201 0.00% /quotes/zigman/202910/delayed/quotes/nls/nsany NSANY +0.18% dropped 1.1% and Casio Computer Co. /quotes/zigman/192175/delayed JP:6952 +7.77% /quotes/zigman/192519/delayed/quotes/nls/csioy CSIOY +4.03% lost 3.1%.

Longford paedophile used sweets to lure his victim
Updated 4:43pm Friday 14th February 2014 in News
A PAEDOPHILE who encouraged a young girl to retrieve Minstrels from his underpants and groomed her by promising presents has been jailed.
Michael Broughton, of Mardale Avenue, Longford, was caught out when the child, aged between seven and nine-years-old said she knew what Broughton was doing was wrong after seeing a programme on TV.
During sentencing, Judge Robert Warnock said he had shown little remorse after suggesting to probation the girl had instigated some of his approaches.
The 68-year-old initially pleaded not guilty to one charge of rape and three counts of inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity but on the morning of the trial changed his plea.
Liverpool Crown Court heard on Wednesday his victim had been particularly distressed before the trial began and has been suffering from nightmares since.
Andrew Green, prosecuting, said: "The victim was told she would get into trouble if she told anyone.
"On occasions he would put Minstrel chocolates in his underpants and ask her to retrieve them and finally asked her to commit a sex act on him and in return promised to buy her favourite cuddly toy.
"He later went on the computer to buy it and told her to tell others it was because she had a good school report."
After his arrest in August last year, police also found Broughton, who had no previous convictions, had been regularly texting the girl between January 2011 and March 2013.
John Banasko, defending, said: "This is a man of 68-years of age who is not going to have an easy ride in custody and doesn't enjoy the best of health.
"It's a tragedy for everyone."
Broughton was sentenced to 11 years eight months behind bars.
During sentencing, Judge Warnock commended the child for her bravery during the case.
He added: "You let her believe she would be in trouble if she revealed what was happening.
"Unfortunately she has a clear recollection of what you did and little you know the consequences of your behaviour.
"You're in denial with no significant remorse other than for your own predicament.
"You have robbed a little child of her childhood and caused her to be upset with nightmares that should be no concern to her."

Razdal mo ErazTalk0
this wiki
Master of Men
Speaker to Savages
- "If blood is your desire... blood shall flow."
- ―Razdal mo Eraz to Daenerys Targaryen
Razdal mo Eraz is a character in the third season. He is a slave-trader from the city of Yunkai, on the coast of Slaver's Bay, and one of the Wise Masters, the ruling elite of the city. He's played by George Georgiou.
Biography Edit
Razdal mo Eraz a wealthy Yunkish slaver. He is fluent in the Common Tongue of Westeros.
Unlike Kraznys mo Nakloz of Astapor, Razdal is not a braggart, but shrewd and politically savvy. A reserved, calculating man, he is capable of being polite when it is politically expedient. While he is still capable of making threats, they are subdued, part of calculated negotiation tactics instead of emotional outbursts.
Like many of the Wise Masters, he prides himself on Yunkai's descent from the old Ghiscari Empire, which was already old and mighty when the Valyrian Freehold was young.
Season 3Edit
Razdal mo Eraz is sent by the Wise Masters to negotiate with Daenerys Targaryen when she sets camp outside of Yunkai and sends word demanding the surrender of the city. He arrives atop a palanquin carried by several slaves. After being announced, he comes to close to Daenerys but is intimidated away by her dragons. Razdal offers Daenerys gifts of gold and ships so that Yunkai will be left in peace. Daenerys offers Razdal his own life if he goes back to the Wise Masters and ensures that all slaves are released and given payment for their years of service or else she will lay waste to Yunkai.
Dumbfounded at her boldness, Razdal stands defiant and retorts that Yunkai has powerful allies and that after the coming battle the Yunkai'i will enslave the survivors, even Daenerys herself, prompting Drogon to furiously hiss at him. He reminds Daenerys that he was offered safety but she retorts that her dragons react poorly to their "Mother" being threatened. Razdal orders his slaves to take back the gold, but the enraged Drogon stands in their way. Daenerys then sends him away and keeps the gold, as Razdal returns to his palanquin, muttering curses.[1]

In the booksEdit
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the envoy sent by the Wise Masters to parlay with Daenerys is called Grazdan mo Eraz. The series has renamed him, as was done with the Astapori Good Master Grazdan mo Ullhor, who was renamed as Greizhen mo Ullhor. "Grazdan" is a very common name in Slaver's Bay, due to the fact that the founder of the old Ghiscari Empire over five thousand years ago was Grazdan the Great.

New Abortion Laws Create Demand Across The Border
Texans are learning to live with a tough new anti-abortion law that will shut down 37 of the state's 42 abortion clinics. The law bans abortions after 20 weeks, requires abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a near-by hospital, restricts the use of the abortion drug RU-486, and requires clinics to meet the standards of ambulatory surgical centers.

For years the decline of participation in American Churches has been predicted and borne out. A recent Gallup poll shows that people think the influence of religion has declined. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life shows an increase in the nonreligious and that the country is nearly evenly split on how it feels about the growth of the nonreligious. Byron Johnson, Director of the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor joins us along with Gabriel Acevedo Sociology Professor at UTSA.

Top Teachers: Annette Hodges
Donahoe E.S., fifth grade
As a student teacher in inner-city Philadelphia, one of Annette Hodges' first assignments was to work with a Spanish-speaking youngster named Oscar.
"They sent him to me and said, 'If you can just teach him a couple words of English, great.' And I thought, Why only a couple?"
So for the next five months, Hodges worked with Oscar and two other students diligently – setting the same high expectations for them that she had experienced herself in private school as a child. By the end of the school year, Oscar was reading, spelling words correctly and earning A's on tests.
"He wanted it because he was excited that someone believed he could do it," she recalled.
That philosophy has guided Hodges through her 21 years as a teacher, including the past three at Donahoe Elementary in Sandston, where this year she is teaching a boys-only class of 17 fifth-graders.
The gender-specific class was Hodges' idea – something she said grew from her examination of single-sex private academies in which students seemed to excel.
"I thought, Why is is that that's not something that is offered in the public school setting?" she said. "I wanted to encourage [students] and give them expectations."
Hodges is drilling into her students' minds that they will become 'men of honor' by the end of the school year.
Every Monday, the boys "dress for success" by wearing khakis or blue jeans and a light blue Izod shirt that Hodges purchased each of them in September. The point? To teach them what success looks like and help them internalize it.
"Many of them did not know what success was," Hodges said, recalling a recent exercise in which one student said his mother was successful because she went to work every day, even though she hated her job. "They have to see it before they can truly believe it because they know what they're looking at. It's about breaking habits that they've seen or thought were okay and rebuilding things for them."
Her approach is working.
"Through tears, attitude, and smiles of the boys, the joy of accomplishment is the prize," one nominator wrote. "Ms. Hodges has a heart of a lion and patience of an angel. The spirit and success of the boys are the amazing result."
Though her students have scored well in reading and math tests, she is motivating them to achieve 100 percent passage rates in both.
"I just don't want them just simply to pass to say they passed," she said. "I want them to leave being able to transfer the knowledge to the following year. I want them to truly be true learners."
"I go to bed a great deal at night with a heavy heart because I'm thinking, 'How can I reach this one, how can I get that one to understand?' You don't have time to spend time celebrating successes."

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. — If you went to summer camp as a kid, you probably remember hiking, arts and crafts and s'more s'mores than any person could reasonably eat.
But what if you'd also gotten to tour Indianapolis Motor Speedway or the Lucas Oil Stadium? Or met executives from pro sports teams like the Pacers or Indianapolis Indians?
Those were just a few of the outings planned for the 12 highschoolers attending Anderson University's first ever three-day, hands-on, sports marketing camp last week.
"When planning the camp, we thought 'What would make these kids want to come?'" said business and economics professor, Greg Heberling, who headed the camp with veteran sports marketer, Scott Zebedis — think Indianapolis Indians, Denver Nuggets, San Diego Padres and a host of pro athletes.
"If I were a kid, I'd be excited about this," Heberling said. "There's a lot of experts, a lot of tours, a lot of exposure to (sports marketing) executives. Maybe it will open their eyes to all those different avenues where sports marketing and business can take them."
He said the goal is to give the campers "a wide variety of experiences," such as meeting executives from the Tony Stewart Foundation and Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation, and tours of the Bankers Life Fieldhouse and Tony Stewart Suite.
And, of course, to teach them a little something.
For example, campers could expect a hands-on lesson in tickets sales, advertising, media-buying and other important operations while working game day at Victory Field.
"It's our hope to give the students a brief but well-rounded view of what it is like to work in professional sports," said the Indians' assistant general manager, Randy Lewandowski, who just so happens to be an AU alum. "Anytime the opportunity to be a resource or a mentor presents itself, we want to take advantage of it."
Sports business isn't for everybody, he said, but for those "willing to put in the time, effort and commitment, we hope to be able to shine a light and provide some guidance for them."
And if, by attending the sports marketing summer camp, campers gain a little real world experience — and an internship or entry-level position, maybe? — all the better. "This gives us an opportunity to mine for talent as well," Lenandowski said.
As with many of AU's summer camps, the kids also get a taste of college life. They stay in dorms on campus, eat meals there, use the Wellness Center and can even earn college credit.
"The purpose of (AU's) summer camps is to get them used to the college environment," Heberling said,"But also to get them in the career mind. And, in our case, to have a lot of fun."

The Boise State football team seemed to have some of its best depth at tailback coming into this season.
So far, it hasnt materialized.
Sophomore starter Jay Ajayi has been as good as advertised, with 544 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in the first six games. And true freshman Aaron Baltazar was terrific with 234 yards and two touchdowns in the first five games before tearing an anterior cruciate ligament to end his season.
But sophomore Jack Fields and junior college transfer Derrick Thomas, the two guys who were supposed to provide insurance behind Ajayi, have combined for 41 carries and 112 yards just 2.7 yards per carry.
They had seven carries for 11 yards last week at Utah State and that doesnt include a 10-yard loss when Thomas was unable to handle a snap in the wildcat formation.
I do think that our other backs can do some things as well (as Ajayi), but theyve got to break tackles when we give them chances to earn a few more reps, coach Chris Petersen said. Theyll tell you they need more touches, and well say, Break a tackle.
Fields played as a true freshman last year. He rushed for 135 yards on 43 carries (3.1 per carry). He has 89 yards on 29 carries (3.1) this year.
Hes got to maybe see things a little better, Petersen said. Hes a tough, hard-nosed, downhill runner. One of the things were working with him on is being a little more patient and seeing things.
Unfortunate events' explained
Petersen on Monday explained the wild ending to the first half of Saturdays victory at Utah State.
A series of unfortunate events, he said. Its on me.
Heres what happened:
The Broncos got the ball on their own 13-yard line with 51 seconds remaining in the half. Quarterback Joe Southwick took a knee at the 11. The Broncos could have run the clock down to single digits by using the 40-second play clock, but when the game clock dropped below 40 seconds the referee told Southwick to snap it, Petersen said. Southwick took a knee at the 9 and both teams began heading to the locker rooms.
Utah State coach Matt Wells, who had two timeouts remaining, used one with 23 seconds left. Its smart football by them, Petersen said. I would have done the exact same thing. Weve got to play to get out of the hole and play till the final seconds are off the clock.
With staff trying to get some players out of the locker room and the coordinators walking down from the press box to the field, Ajayi rushed for 7 yards on third-and-14. Utah State called timeout with 18 seconds left to force a punt.
The Broncos did not use their usual punt formation for this type of situation, with the opponent going all out for a block. Plus, they had a personnel issue redshirt freshman defensive end Sam McCaskill ran onto the field late to replace a missing player and lined up at guard. We shouldnt have punted out of the formation we were in, Petersen said.
Utah State blocked the punt, which went out of bounds at the Boise State 12-yard line with 12 seconds left in the half.
On first and second downs, quarterback Craig Harrison threw jump balls to the far corner of the end zone one to 6-foot-4 wide receiver Brandon Swindall, the other to 6-5 linebacker/part-time goal-line receiver Kyler Fackrell. Junior cornerback Bryan Douglas, who is 5-9, broke up both passes.
Those are the type of plays you have to make, especially if theyre going to throw at you twice in a row, linebacker Corey Bell said. We were all excited. That was a playmaker making a big couple plays there.
Utah State sent kicker Nick Diaz out for a 29-yard field goal. Left tackle Charles Leno Jr. pushed up the middle and blocked the kick to finally end the half. The Broncos led 24-10.
It was quite a momentum swing and really some good competing on both sides, to tell you the truth, Petersen said. I was really proud of our guys. They didnt (say), Uh-oh, now what? They were irritated. It started from Bryan Douglas, to go knock those fade balls down. He was all about it.
And then Charles Leno and Demarcus (Lawrence) and Ricky (Tjong-A-Tjoe) and all those guys that pushed inside (on the field goal). It was great football. I think both sides were extremely fired up on it. It was a good exchange, except I felt bad because I was at the center of it to blame. We shouldnt have been there.
Injury updates
Receiver Kirby Moore and right tackle Rees Odhiambo, who traveled but didnt play last week, are week to week, Petersen said. Redshirt freshman Steven Baggett, who started at right tackle, is listed as the starter this week and Odhiambo is not on the depth chart. Moore is listed as the co-starter at slot receiver with Shane Williams-Rhodes, who has thrived in Moores absence the past two games. Williams-Rhodes has 22 catches in that span the most in two games for a Bronco since Tim Gilligan in 2003 (23).

For the fifth-consecutive year, the Madison Southern Lady Eagles advanced to the finals of the 44th District Tournament with a 63-43 win over Model Thursday.
The Lady Eagles went wire-to-wire for the victory.
Southern scored the final 10 points of the first quarter to take a 13-4 lead, and behind 15 points by Briana Lanham and nine points by Samantha Parms, took a 33-14 lead into the locker room at the half.
The Lady Eagles' defense slowed Model star Darrian Botts in the first half and when point guard Haley Hunt went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter, Model struggled to get into its offense.
But Botts came out fighting in the second half and the Lady Patriots' pressure defense began to force Southern into turnovers and Model began to chip away at the Southern lead.
Botts scored seven of the first 11 points of the third quarter to pull Model to within 37-21 mid-way through the quarter.
After back-to-back baskets by Lanham, Botts scored eight of the next 12 points to cut the Southern lead to 43-32. A bucket by Kasi Schnied pulled the Lady Eagles to within nine at 43-34 at the end of the third quarter.
Parms quickly righted the Lady Eagles' ship with a three pointer to open the fourth quarter and Southern steadily scored 11 of the next 15 points to build their lead back to 20 at 58-38 mid-way through the fourth quarter and the Lady Patriots could get no closer.
"It seemed like when they put pressure on us in the third quarter even our starters were making wrong decisions, but all in all they kept their heads and regrouped," Southern coach Summer Simmons said. "The girls are resilient, but I wish we wouldn't have the lulls like we do, it hurts our confidence."
Lanham lead all scorers with 29 points and also pulled down nine rebounds. Parms finished with 13 points and seven rebounds, while Sarah Smith, Adriannah Willis and Callie Cook had five points each, Kelley Freeman had three points, Hayden Westfall had two points and eight rebounds and Ashyln Clark had one point and four rebounds.
For Model, Botts finished with 25 points and pulled down six rebounds. Kasi Schneid had 10 points and eight rebounds, Hunt had three points before leaving with the injury, Chloe Dyer had two points and two rebounds, Abby Vicars had two points and six rebounds and Emily Jackson had one point and four rebounds.
Model coach Ronald Preece said he was proud of the way his team fought through adversity in the game and all season.
"I'm proud of them, they didn't quit and they played hard," Preece said. "Darrian had a good second half, our press looked pretty good for a while, but we got tired there at the end, but they didn't quit."
With Hunt out of the game, and with other injuries during the season, Preece has had to play a lot of young players, but the playing time, Preece said, will reap dividends down the road.
"I thought our young kids, Chloe Dyer and Charity Mack played well while they were out there. Next year we have everybody back and this experience will be invaluable. They have given it their all and played hard all season and I couldn't be prouder," Preece said.
Madison Southern has one night to enjoy the win because a matchup with Madison Southern looms today in the championship game beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Both teams advance to next week's 11th Region Tournament which begins Monday Feb. 25 in McBrayer Arena.

Again, Mastay and Cobb were the MVP's but I am more happy we are 7-3 and will be getting some major players back in the next couple of weeks.
The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Packers escape Detroit with 24-20 win
Detroit — Game on the line, the Green Bay Packers found a way to win.
This was no walk in the park for Green Bay Sunday at Ford Field. But when the Packers' offense had to wake up, it did. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led a late six-play, 82-drive to key a 24-20 Packers win over the Detroit Lions.
And as Jerron McMillian broke up a Matthew Stafford fourth-down heave, center Dominic Raiola promptly chucked his helmet to the sideline signaling two NFC North teams are heading in opposite directions. Green Bay's pursuit of a division title remains strong and Detroit can probably the kiss the playoffs goodbye.
A Jason Hanson field goal — after a Mason Crosby miss — put the Lions ahead, 20-14, with 4 minutes and 12 seconds to go. But quickly, Green Bay struck back. Rodgers hit tight end Jermichael Finley for 40 yards and then found Randall Cobb for a 22-yard score to put the Packers ahead for good. Detroit's final two offensive drives failed.
Rodgers finished 19 of 27 for 236 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, as running back James Starks added 74 rushing yards on 25 attempts.
For Detroit, Calvin Johnson had five receptions for 139 yards.
The difference-maker: Randall Cobb continues to do it all for the Packers. The second-year receiver hauled in the game-winning touchdown, a 22-yard grab between Lions safety Ricardo Silva and cornerback Jacob Lacey. Rodgers doesn't force many throws into tight windows but he's clearly gaining a ton of confidence in Cobb. The wideout finished with nine receptions for 74 yards and also had two carries for 19 yards.
Big Number: Seven — missed field goals for Mason Crosby this season. He's 11 of 18 on the season.
Turning point: Finley has had a quiet season through 10 games but he had the play of the day Sunday. The Packers tight end's 40-yard reception — rumbling up the right sideline — set up Cobb's score on the game-winning drive. He hasn't been a factor of late in Green Bay's offense. But with others struggling, he delivered Sunday.
What went right: Even without Clay Matthews, the Packers sustained pressure on Matthew Stafford. Green Bay sacked the Lions quarterback five times and pressured him often. Stafford finished with a 53.7 passer rating. Both Erik Walden (two sacks) and Dezman Moses (forced fumble) had solid games at outside linebacker and Dom Capers used Frank Zombo to keep fresh legs on the field. Second-year safety M.D. Jennings had a 72-yard interception return for a touchdown off a tipped ball, a heads-up play for the second year safety that proved to be the difference late. On this day, the defense did its part.
What went wrong: Offensively, the Packers were unable to take advantage of a depleted Lions secondary most of the day. No. 1 wide receiver Jordy Nelson (three catches) and James Jones (two catches) were held in check. Meanwhile, Crosby's funk continued Sunday at Ford Field. Crosby missed from 50 and 38 against Detroit. The second miss would have tied the game at 17-17. There's a chance this is the game that compels the Packers to sign a kicker off the street this week.

I give credit to the Packers Defense. They played well for the most part. Packers are 2-0 against NFCN teams. If the Bears lose tomorrow, we are in 1st. Ugly win but it was a divisional game on the road. I expected nothing less.
Again, Mastay and Cobb were the MVP's but I am more happy we are 7-3 and will be getting some major players back in the next couple of weeks.
What a difference in the offenses when the game was on the line. I'm kinda happy to have Rodgers over Stafford.Hide replies
Stafford's accuracy this season is far from last yr. He's just off a lot. Which is great if you're a Packer fn.
When you win...you didn't "escape".
You just won.
Great defensive effort. Dez Moses is a player. Ditto Hayward.Hide replies
How about that, NC. Perry will only improve with more time in the system and an off-season to sculpt his body to what's more needed as an OLB as opposed to a DE. Then throw in Moses, Walden, Matthews, and Zombo and this team shouldn't have any more problems at OLB like they've had in the past.
It seems they finally have the pass rushers to run the 3-4 now, eh?
I was very impressed with Perry, as well. I think he has a bright future. But you are correct, it takes awhile to learn how to drop in coverage. Perry is a very good pass rusher already, even with limited moves.
The defense is really coming around, as I had hoped.
It was nice to see Zombo out there contributing today.
Completely agree. Gut-check win for a team playing without many of its top guys. You'd think Raiola would get tired of heaving that helmet around. Go Pack!
Should I be concerned that Josh Sitton, supposedly the best O-linman on the team , was on his butt so often today? And that Tramon Williams looked so slow?
Gutty win but it is difficult for me to get anything but an uneasy feeling with this team.Hide replies
No...just enjoy the win today. Concern can creep in tomorrow.
Exactly jericho. Too many fans are concerned with how the team wins instead of just enjoying it. Division games are always tough especially on the road. Rodgers led a game winning drive, which he hasn't had many of in his career, and everyone's looking at the negative. Enjoy it!
I don't like them but Fairley and Suh knock a lot of folks on their butts.
They'd look good in green and gold.
Great game, but I'm pretty sure Fairley couldn't even beat out C. Williams (injured). I'll enjoy this win for a week, but our O line and defensive lapses in the backfield concern me.
Tramon was on All-World WR Calvin Johnson today. He's not going to win evevery battle.
I think Tramon looked slow because he was covering Calvin Johnson who is much bigger and stronger, and because of how the Packers were playing Johnson. Plus, he was slow on 2 or 3 plays.
Tramon wouldn't let Megatron be a factor in the first and goal situation that resulted in the field goal to make it 20 - 14. One of the most important sequences of the game.
Enjoy the win. Leave it to Silverstein to provide a heaping dose of doom and gloom on an injury depleted team that gutted out a win on the road against a desperate division rival. Go Pack!
Pssssssssst Tyler Dunne wrote this article "Dynn"
Good to see that we can play bad and still win.
The only players that disappointed me were Crosby and Tramon Williams. If they can find a more reliable kicker, then Crosby has to go. Williams seems to give up on plays and does not finish. Oh well. Hopefully we can get Matthews and Jennings back next week...Hide replies
You have a problem W/ T Williams? Really? Because the arguably the best receiver in the NFL had some catches? ......... wow......tough crowd.
Tough wins like that make it easier to win...tough games like that. Gutsy effort; they could have folded several times. Lions just don't have that edge this year.
It was a good win. Before the game, I thought the Packers might lose. Almost like with the Vikings, this is the their super bowl when the Packers come to town. To get an idea of what it feels like, just remember back to the 80s with the packers, and how bad the bears beat the packers all the time with that fat slob running the ball near the goal line. Speaking of which, almost had a Charles Martin flashback, but Fairley had more class.Hide replies
Yeah, you're right. Gotta give Fairley kudos for that.
Don't hate the Finley.
Love the Finley
many thanks to Fairley for not slamming AR down on that concrete they call a field. could've ended the season.
I don't think we should be too down on Josh Sitton or any of the O-Linemen. The Lions' D-line is arguably the best in the NFL. We all knew that this game was going to be painful. The Packers won, and it looks like they didn't suffer any more injuries. It's a WIN WIN.....Hide replies
Unofficial count through 10 games:
Nelson: 6 drops
Finley: 5 drops
JJ: 1 dropHide replies
I'm not even sure that'll go as a drop on JJ, Digger. I think it might have been tipped.
Speaking of tipped, Burnett did tip that ball that Megatron caught for a TD. Much as I like Rodgers over Stafford, I'll take Calvin Johnson over any other rcvr in the NFL.
I couldn't tell from the replay, but I thought it went through Burnett's hands
Time to cut Mason Crosby? His head has gone bye bye.
The only reason to keep him is if there is nothing available. I'd even be willing to bring back longwell. He probably cvant hit anything beyond 45 anymore, but at least his head is attached.Hide replies
You know, in the tradition of this blog, they should trade Mason for a second round pick.
Been on this blog for 2 years now and Dig has been posting digs vs Crosby for 2 years. Until now his insistence that Crosby stinks has fallen on deaf ears in this household, but now I'm beginning to wonder if Crosby has some issues going on between his ears.

Wonderful quality
Tender Mountain Rectangle Invitations Wonderful quality and best prices I found after much searching. The design process took a bit of getting used to but all worked out beautifully in the end.
Wonderful invites!
Tender Mountain Rectangle Invitations Great invites- I love them!!! The website can be a little frustrating to use, but when I did call once, they were super helpful!
Tender Mountain Square Invitations I love this invitation and the whole "tender mountain" collection. It has made choosing my stationary one of the easiest aspects of planning a wedding. Production time is incredibly fast which is really helpful for us procrastinators! I did not care for the pine cones on the back side of the invitation so I requested that it was removed and it was done so perfectly. People keep complimenting how unique the invitation is compared to the typical rectangle with elegant swishy lines and that this invitation is still classy and simple. I had a linen finish on mine and it made a nice difference than having a flat finish. My background is navy (I am having a winter wedding and the navy background looks like a winter night sky) and the text is white with a silver tree. It really stands out beautifully. The sizing of the text can be difficult to adjust because there is a sizing limit. I kept my text similar to the sample invite and the text did come out large enough to read without overwhelming the invitation.
Tender Mountain Square Invitations We are extremely happy with our invites they are simple but elegant.
Terrific Winter Wedding Option!
Tender Mountain Rectangle Invitations We are having a winter wedding, and while there are a lot of decoration ideas, I ran into a problem finding an invitation we liked. Most companies only offer 1 or 2 winter designs and they are glittery and primarily snowflakes. We wanted something a little more sophisticated in design. I loved Magnet Street the second I saw all of their categories and themes. This invitation ended up perfect for us because we're getting married at Bear Mountain State Park. The quiet winter mountain theme works beautifully. My fiance is a web developer and graphic designer. We had planned on him making the stationary for the wedding because of our high standards. However, we ended up renovating and selling our house with a cross country move, so that was no longer an option. These totally met both of our expectations as the next best option of him designing our own. I love that you are able to personalize and customize every aspect of the invitation. Other companies I had looked at were not as generous. You might be able to choose from 1 or 2 color options, or change a font, but these we were able to tweak and make our very own. We went back and forth with the design team, who were great and helpful the whole way. I was so scared of annoying them with our many edits, but in the end I am so happy with what we received. The proofs come in high resolution, but in real life they look even better. It's really great quality paper and the ink and designs are flawless and very professional looking. I'm so happy I really took the time to be picky about my invitations, otherwise I would have never found Magnet Street or personalized them to be just for our wedding and our day.
