Wedding: 3/22/2014
Danada house is a gorgeous place to have your wedding reception. We wanted to stay away from the typical ballroom and we couldn't have been happier. The people there are very nice. You do have to hire a caterer. The price for the rental of the space is a bit pricey, I thought, but it is amazing. The twinkle lights are so romantic and the floor to ceiling glass windows is exactly what I wanted. It was perfect and so many people from our wedding said it was beautiful. It has a vintage vibe in the house section which is right up my alley so I was very pleased. You do have to pay extra for a coat check and use of the fireplace.

The Danada House was the perfect venue for our special day. Everyone commented on how unique and beautiful everything was. Both cocktail hour in the house, and the dinner and dancing in the atrium were amazing. The atmosphere really set the tone for our wedding. The coordinators were accommodating throughout the whole planning process, and through the whole evening. The coat check attendants were helpful and friendly, their day-of coordinators helped set up and break down everything, and they even lit the fireplace for us! It was an event to remember because of the setting!!!

My guests lived this venue! The outdoor scenery is beautiful, the atrium is amazing, and the staff are great to work with. No complaints

As soon as my wife and I checked out Danada House we knew that was the place for our reception. We had decided on a destination wedding and "at-home" reception, but we knew if the destination wouldn't work out, a wedding at Danada would have been a perfect back up.
Everyone at Danada is very nice and take personal care to ensure your day is special. The price is far more reasonable than any hotel reception hall, and WAY more charming!
Wedding: 7/3/2014
Danada House was the perfect venue for our wedding!The gardens were perfect for pictures, the size was perfect for our wedding of 200, and the people were easy to work with. I don't know of another venue or bride that has been this happy with a venue.

Danada House is THE place to get married in the west Chicago suburbs. Their venue is one of a kind, offering natural beauty, seclusion and a lot of freedom to personalize the space. When you drive in, it's like entering a world of your own—you almost forget you're in the middle of a suburb. It's wonderful that your party is the only one the grounds so you don't have to compete with other weddings like you would at a banquet hall.
Many of my June 20, 2014 wedding guests had never been to Danada and raved about how beautiful the wedding was. The best part is you don't have to break the bank with decorations because the space is so beautiful on its own. For our outdoor ceremony, we had four lanterns sitting on pillars and rose petals down the aisle and it was gorgeous. There are also a ton of different locations on the grounds for your pictures. I can't wait to see all the unique shots that we'll have… some even include horses!
The service at Danada is also exceptional. Jill is great to work with—she's very organized responsive and answered many of my questions. Danada does book out very quickly so if you're considering this venue, I recommend you visit as soon as possible to try to secure a date. Thank you so much for making my day so special!
Wedding: 6/29/2014
The Danada House staff was wonderful very helpful at my wedding the past Sunday(6/29/14) they were right on the pathway with the ring bearer and flower girl to tell them when to go towards the arch it was very pleasent knowing I have help there and not having to stress out! Loved everything they did for our day!!
Wedding: 5/25/2014
We were searching for a venue to host a wedding combining Indian, Jewish, and American traditions. We wanted a place that could accommodate over 200 guests, but still had character, was easy for local guests to drive to, as well as have hotel options near by for out-of-town guests. Danada was a wonderful choice. We initially were hoping to have Indian food catered, but eventually decided to go with one of the preapproved caterers accustomed to Danada. My Chef catered and did an amazing job. We were able to utilize the whole house and grounds for the day. This allowed for the wedding party to get ready in the suites upstairs, have the ceremony outdoors, the cocktail hour on the deck, a conversation and slideshow viewing area in the library, a separate dessert room, and the reception and dancing in the beautiful atrium. The venue was definitely worth the price. The only warning I would give is we did book it 1.5 years in advance!
Wedding: 8/18/2013
This was an amazing venue - beautiful, and the people there helped us every step of the way. Jill was available, friendly, and helped make things as smooth as possible both before and during the wedding. The only downside is that they're so busy, it's hard to get in there for a rehearsal at a time that works for the whole wedding party.
Wedding: 7/13/2013
My husband and I were just married here on July 13th. Everything was so beautiful and my guests all said it was the best venue they've ever been to. Takes a little extra effort since you need to bring in your own caterer and everything but the grounds of the house are so beautiful that it is all worth it. There are multiple spots to have outdoor ceremonies, not sure why it says no to that in the description, but we had ours right by the house. The aisle is brick and the 'grass' where the chairs go is AstroTurf so no one sinks in with their heels on. So many beautiful places to take pictures and the reception room is the most beautiful room I've ever seen! You get the venue from 4-12 with 2 hours of set up and an hour of break down that makes your event last from 6-11. I would definitely recommend paying for the extra hour before and after for extra set up time and party time. I didn't have extra set up time and it felt pretty rushed. My husband and I absolutely loved everything about this place!!!
Wedding: 6/13/2013
We had a Mid June Wedding. Everything was perfect. The gardens were stunning. The house the atrium. I just got my photos back and everything was just so beautiful. Highly Recommend
Wedding: 6/22/2013
From the moment I stepped foot into Danada House, I was blown away. Every room you step into is more gorgeous than the next. The grounds are perfectly kept and there is so much privacy. Jill and Kathy are extraordinary to work with. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
Wedding: 6/21/2013
Danada house was beautiful and everyone is still talking about it
Wedding: 6/2/2013
It looked and felt like a dream wedding because the venue is so beautiful inside and out! The gardens are incredible and the inside is so chic! My husband and I absolutely LOVED having our wedding here!
Wedding: 5/3/2013
We loved Danada House for our wedding ceremony and reception. The grounds are breathtaking, there was a back-up plan in case of rain (which we unfortunately needed), and the staff were wonderful to work with!
Wedding: 3/9/2014
Having my wedding at Danada House turned all of my wedding dreams into realities. The grounds and gardens are absolutely gorgeous and offered so many amazing photo locations, and provided the perfect place for my outdoor ceremony. The spacious house is just wonderful and provided an ideal place for me and my entire bridal party to "beautify" and prepare for the day, as well as serve as the location for the cocktails. And the recently-added atrium was just the most beautiful reception location. The floor-to-ceiling windows and hanging lights made my reception truly magical! And working with the Danada House staff and preferred vendors was everything I could have hoped for. Everything went so smoothly and perfectly, and everyone was so friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process. Danada House truly made my wedding a day to remember!
Wedding: 12/30/2012
When we visited Danada House we fell in love with the intimate feel of this historic house on the grounds of the DuPage Forest Preserve. It was the summer home of well-known philanthropists Dan and Ada Rice. We were planning a small, intimate wedding so we only rented the house. Larger groups can also rent the large atrium addition off the back of the house.
We chose to have our wedding ceremony in the Library of the house which had built-in bookshelves and a fireplace. The fireplace in the library is a non-working one so I chose to place a grouping of candles and greenery inside. The ceremony was immediately followed by a cocktail hour hosted on the two enclosed porches. (We had a December 30th wedding and the porches were heated.) The views from the porches were beautiful in the winter! We even had a family of deer wander into the lawn area right before the ceremony started. We had the bar setup in the original Dining Room of the house which is right off the kitchen, and we had our main dinner served in the Living Room which had wood floors and a beautiful large fireplace. For only $25 extra we had the staff keep a real fire going in the fireplace.
The entrance hall was a very welcoming area for our guests and we were able to place personal photos and items on the foyer tables. There is also a beautiful staircase that goes upstairs to the bridal suite and the grooms room. The bridal suite was so wonderful and spacious. I had a view out the front of the house from upstairs and was able to see our guests arriving. Once everyone was settled into the library we made our entrance for the ceremony.
There was plenty of space for everything that we wanted to do, and our guests loved this venue. It felt homey but elegant. Very personal feeling! I chose to decorate it in a romantic/vintage style with plenty of candles (which all must be enclosed per house rules) and red roses. The house itself was decorated for the holidays and it made for a very festive feel. They had lighted greenery on both fireplace mantles and on the edges of all the porch windows. There was also lighted greenery going up the railing of the staircase. There were two Christmas trees that were tastefully decorated plus indoor and outdoor wreaths.
All in all, I was so pleased with this venue. The staff was great to work with and on the day of the wedding, the woman that assisted with our event was more than willing to make a few last minute adjustments to the setup. I would highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a unique setting for your wedding.
Wedding: 12/26/2012
Booking the Danada House was simple and the location was beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. The decorations around the house and atrium made our day after Christmas wedding reception photos simply gorgeous!
Wedding: 11/16/2012
I truly cannot tell you how much I loved Danada and how wonderful everyone was that worked there. I went to numerous places looking for a place to have my wedding. Danada House was the only place that I walked into and just new that is where I wanted my wedding. It is a beautiful unique location. I was super impressed by how down to earth and outgoing Jill, Kathy, and everyone that works at Danada were. They were so sweet and accommodating. It was a warm place that made myself and my guests feel at home. I really loved it and am so grateful for the wonderful people that work there. I would absolutely recommend it and look forward to returning their with my husband to walk around the grounds and reminisce about how great it was. It also was very affordable. I really really love this place now. I felt like I had my wedding at my own home. It was beautiful. Thanks Danada!
Wedding: 11/9/2012
All our guests loved the scenery!!

Chronic Granulomatous Disease
(CGD; Fatal Granulomatosis of Childhood; Chronic Granulomatous Disease of Childhood; Progressive Septic Granulomatosis)
Pronounced: Kron-ik gran-u-lo-ma-tus diseaseEn Español (Spanish Version)
Chronic granulomatous disease is an inherited condition. It results in the production of abnormal cells in the immune system. These abnormal cells, called phagocytic cells, normally kill bacteria. In chronic granulomatous disease, these cells are impaired. As a result, the body can not fight bacteria and infections recur.
The increased risk of infections can lead to premature death from repeated lung infections. With preventative care and treatment, infections can be reduced and temporarily controlled.
CGD is a very rare condition, affecting only about one individual in a million.
CGD is an inherited disease. The abnormality is usually caused by a recessive gene that is carried on the X chromosome. Some individuals inherit the disease in an autosomal recessive pattern.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
The following factors increase your chance of developing CGD:
- Having one or both parents who have the disease or carry the recessive trait
- Being female
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck
- Abscesses in the neck's lymph nodes
- Frequent skin infections that are resistant to treatment:
- Frequent pneumonia that is resistant to treatment
- Persistent diarrhea
- Infections of the bones
- Infections of the joints
- Fungal infections
Bacterial Skin Infection
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam.
Tests may include the following:
- Biopsy —removal of a sample of tissue to test for the condition
- DHR fluorescence test
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)—to test for inflammation
- Chest x-ray —a test that uses radiation to take pictures of structures inside the chest cavity
- Bone scan
- Liver scan
- Complete blood count (CBC)
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Antibiotics are used as preventative and fungal treatment as well as treatment of new infections.
Interferon gamma reduces the number of infections in patients, but is not useful in acute infections. Bone marrow transplantation is a definitive cure.
Bone Marrow Transplantation
Bone marrow transplantation may be a treatment option if a suitable donor can be found.
Surgery may involve the removal of abscesses.

Just a tip 95% of the kids you see driving expensive cars around with the windows down driving like a tard, that is not their primary driving car. One of the reasons why I went to a 328i from my M3 (besides warranty running out and mechanical problems) was the negative attention it got me. I hated having people reving engines at me cutting me off or getting next to me then just flooring it, I hated having to worry about where I parked the car, the thing was a magnet for stupid teens and the "ricer" crowd...
But I guess I am the exception of not driving the car like a retard, I had dark 20% tinted windows and would only crack them open at the top, but I guess thats my personality I like to be a private person and not show off.
I just want to let some of the older people know that some of us youngsters and handles these cars and respect them (I would wash the M every week, and I still wash my car every week) I realize how lucky I am to be able to drive BMW and Mercedes around when 99% of the population could never afford a base 3 series. anyways I am done with sports cars they are over rated expensive and worthless, yet I encourage everyone to own one just once.

Liset Hernandez is in shock as she walks through her rental property. In February, she decided to rent out the place she once called home to a family she thought she could trust.
She told WOWT 6 News, everything seemed to be going well, until the beginning of August.
"We just drove by, out of the blue, and we see the windows with nothing, no blinds, no curtains, nothing. I told my 16 year old, just take a peek, check, don't be too rude, just take a peek. And sure be it, empty," said Hernandez.
The home wasn't just empty, but stripped.
"They took the bunk beds from this room, and the screens, the light fixtures," said Hernandez.
From small things throughout the home like the smoke alarms, to big things like the dishwasher, nothing went untouched.
Hernandez said at first she felt cheated.
"My mother always told me that faces we see, and hearts we don't know," said Hernandez.
But then she said she turned to her faith and to her bible.
"I was mad at myself, and I said Liset you need to stop, that's it I am going to be mean. And I opened it, and it said 'Don't stop being kind to others, because you never know if you are helping a hidden angel from God.' And since then I told myself, I am not going to stop being who I am," said Hernandez.
So she's staying positive and already re-renting the home to a family that was formerly homeless.

March 31, 2009
Alstom and Transmashholding (TMH), the main rail rolling stock manufacturer in Russia, signed a technological, industrial and financial strategic agreement.
According to this agreement, which follows a letter of intent announced in October 2008, Alstom Transport will support the modernization of the manufacturing sites of TMH and the development of a new generation of rolling stock adapted to the Russian market. In addition, Alstom will acquire 25 percent (+ one share) of the capital of TMH holding company at a price that will be defined, taking into account the financial results of TMH over the 2008-2011 period.
Alstom Transport will provide technological and methodological support in terms of manufacturing processes and expertise and will appoint a deputy general manager to oversee TMH's internal operations. Already launched in March 2008, the upstream phase of this technological cooperation has made it possible to plan the modernization of three TMH factories. It will be extended to TMH's other nine factories.
Alstom and TMH have also committed to creating a joint venture for the development of new models of rolling stock, which will be based on Alstom Transport and TMH's latest technologies and adapted for the Russian rail market.
The manufacturing by TMH of the new products aimed to the Russian and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries' markets will be performed in Russia up to 75 percent to 80 percent. The first product launched by the new joint venture will be an electric locomotive based on platform concept. The partners are planning to deliver the first locomotive by mid-2010.
Both companies also intend to continue their cooperation with the manufacturing of double-decker passenger cars. Alstom and TMH participated in October 2008 in a call for tenders launched by RZD for the design and manufacture in Russia of passenger cars and are currently in negotiations with the customer to reach a final agreement between the parties. This rolling stock will consist of double-decker cars, with sleeping and seating sections, equipped with a range of amenities.

The "will he or won't he" is now over. Director Sam Mendes is confirmed to return to helm "Bond 24."Read More »
Generally speaking, this is an off-year for James Bond. Recent reports suggest that Sam Mendes, widely acclaimed for rejuvenating the franchise with last year's "Skyfall," will return for another installment sometime next year, which means the next Bond movie will hit theaters…well, later. But if it...Read More »
So, after all the jostling the last couple of weeks to find the next Bond director (the list of suspects included Chris Nolan, Tom Hooper, Ang Lee, Matthew Vaughn, and Nicolas Winding Refn), Sam Mendes is back in play for 'Bond 24.'

Somewhat shocking (to fans), but not completely surprising news this AM.

Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California is February 16-26th this year. My wife and I enjoyed touring 9 Modern homes. Most were Mid-Century gems that make you want to listen to Frank Sinatra while driving to each location. Each had a vintage American car from the 50's or 60's in the driveway. Because I am a motorhead, it took me a few minutes to get through the front door of each home. What was in the driveway needed some attention as well. My only complaint, no VW buses or beetles! Maybe the oil drips on the driveway might be too much for these pristine homes.

Premiere: Peaking Lights – Amazing And Wonderful (Cadenza remix)
American dub duo remixed by Edinburgh/London producer Cadenza (who we released).
The fiery London producer heats things up ahead of our Dummy AGM next week.
Published: 20/09/13
Ahead of our Dummy AGM next weekend, we're hosting this brand new mix from Cadenza.
Cadenza is the alias of one Oliver Rodigan, a feller who has been on our radar for some time now. It was back in 2011 that we first became acquainted with him - we heard the blare of his dancehall-kissed The Darkest Hype out at Sonar Festival and fell in love instantly. We ended up snapping it up for release on our own Dummy Records, backing it up with a remix by Om Unit under his Phillip D. Kick alias.
Two years on, Cadenza has found himself producing for hitmaker Ryan Leslie, joining the roster at Mad Decent and having The Darkest Hype repressed with a guest verse from young rapper Deena Jonez, who discovered the song on her trawls of the internet.
Cadenza will be DJing at our AGM on Saturday alongside Darkstar, Tirzah, Only Real, Larry Gus, Nadia Ksaiba and more - more information and ticket details are here. His anticipatory mix includes Sophie's unstoppable Bipp, a chopped'n'screwed Kanye West, and music from the good folks at Hessle Audio.
Hi Cadenza! Are you S-T-O-K-E-D for our AGM?
Rodigan: "I most certainly am. There is so much new talent playing on the Saturday, so I'm looking forward to what each artist is going to come with."
Who will you be down at the front for?
Rodigan: "Tirzah is top of my list, but to be honest I have never seen any of these acts live before so I'm spoilt for choice."
What do you have in store for us with this mix?
Rodigan: "With this mix I tried to display a cross section of all the areas I take my influence from, but mostly these are the records that I have been listening to heavily over the past few months. There are a couple of my own bits in there as well, but nothing more than refixes and DJ tools that I have made for the club, so they won't see the light of day."
Tell us what music you're working on at the moment?
Rodigan: "Right now I'm working towards finishing my first EP. I'm working with Nasher again, who I produced a track called Gyal Town with for Mad Decent. We sit down and just spend time selecting really quirky sounds and then once we have enough of a selection we try and piece together what we have and see what happens. It's a different approach to how I normally work, but it means we are constantly trying to push things a bit further. Aside from that, I am in the process of working on a sort of compilation album which is going to be made up of artists and producers from all over. So at the top of next year, recording is going to start on that project down in Jamaica, so I'm really excited to see how it's going to turn out."
After working with Deena Jonez on The Darkest Hype, are you interested in collaborating with more rappers and vocalists your productions?
Rodigan: "Yes, I would love to work with more rappers and vocalists in the future, but in the short term I'm going to focus on my individual productions so that people have a better idea of what I'm about."
How on earth did you end up producing with Ryan Leslie?
Rodigan: "I spent the summer of 2012 living in New York, mostly working with the rapper Donnis. Another friend of mine from the UK was out there as well, and he ended becoming a part of Ryan's team. I went to meet him one night at a deli near Ryan's building, and sure enough Ryan came in for a late night snack. We met and spoke for a while and then I just started sending music to my friend in the hope that Ryan would check it. Fast forward to December that year and I got a call saying that Ryan was going to Vienna to record his next album in two weeks and I was asked to submit some more demos. I stayed up all night and sent in what I had done. The next day I was told that he was going to be bringing me out to record. I was supposed go for a full week but the dates conflicted with my university finals, so I could only go for three days, but we knocked it all out and even ended up co-producing one of the cuts - which was a wicked experience for me."
What's your favourite song right now?
Rodigan: "BMB Spacekid - I Like It."

Written by Rich Forestano Friday, 02 September 2011 00:00
Representatives from Verizon came before the Mineola Village Board of Trustees on Aug. 10 after the five trustees called into question reasons behind the request by the telecommunications company for a second work permit extension.
According to Building Department Supervisor Dan Whalen, the permit is now over a year old, having been granted a previous extension of 180 days for work being done on cellular antennas located on the transmission tower at Betty Lane and Jericho Turnpike.
Eric Helman of Garden City-based Amato Law Group PLLC said that the reason for the request to extend the permit for an additional 180 days was that "the contractor made a mistake initially" and installed the wrong type of wireless antenna atop the structure.
Despite the permit being issued by the village in August 2010, the original work was not done until December. Helman would not confirm nor deny if work was delayed by the ongoing strike by Verizon workers.
"It took nearly half a year for the work to actually be done initially," Helman said. "and then they made the mistake of putting up the wrong antenna. They're not consistent with the design purposes of the site."
The wireless antennas are located on a LIPA transmission tower, which, according to Helman, has to be "powered down" before any work can be done, and "that involves a fairly extensive authorization process." LIPA will not power down the structure during periods of high use – such as summer – since it is tied to the power grid.
"They're telling us that it can be powered down by October," Helman said, referring to LIPA.
Mayor Scott Strauss along with the rest of the board found it difficult to believe that Verizon only recently learned there was a problem with the antennas. He was confused as to why this couldn't have been done a year ago.
"You had January, February, March, April, May, June, July," Strauss said. "You only came up in July and realized that they were the wrong antennas?"
Helman responded that the realization came in the "late winter/early spring" and by then it was too late to swap out the antennas.
"By the time the process was going on with LIPA, the electricity usage had already increased," Helman. "They weren't able to power it down in time."
"I know quite a few engineers and if something doesn't work from a technical standpoint, they know immediately," Trustee Lawrence Werther said. "I've taken a ride down to that area and I've seen the cell equipment and none of these cells go directly into any household. No household would be able to withstand that type of power."
"It doesn't pass the sniff test," Deputy Mayor Paul Pereira said, "because... as soon as you put those antennas up and you turned them on, someone somewhere has got to figure out "oops, those aren't the right ones, get back up there tomorrow."
The board granted the permit extension with the stipulation that work has to begin within 90 days. Helman's main concern was that Verizon is relying on LIPA to complete the swap out and asked for the end of November as the work start deadline.
Helman continued that both parties would wait to replace the cell antennas when electricity usage is low on a given day. Furthermore, it would not affect any nearby residents.
"The impact is much less when we wait," he said. "It's tied into the grid, it would not affect residents locally. That's to my understanding. I'm far from an expert in terms of how the grid works."
"I just feel that somewhere along the line someone's dragging their feet unnecessarily," Mayor Strauss said, adding that there would be no further extensions and Verizon would have to reapply for another permit if it went beyond the time granted. The fee for the permit is $250.
"We want you to be aware of the fact that we're watching," Pereira said. "It's not about the permit as much as it is that we hope the applicant, Verizon, in this case, we expect that the work will be done when it was supposed to. Now, we have an extension."
Before approving the extension, the board agreed that this would be the last extension granted to Verizon on this issue.

about me
Just a Normal, Well Balanced, Calm, Cuddly Gentleman Inside!
I am quite happy single, but there are times where it would be so much nicer to share experiences, food and wine with someone special. Well in essence I am a cultured, traveled, well educated, well spoken, passionate, kind, selfless, romantic, old fashioned, super cuddly gentleman who knows exactly who he is and what he is looking for. For that special one I would make you feel like a Princess always and there is nothing I would not do for you.
I love the outdoors and keeping fit. I do a wide variety of sports and activities to keep life interesting. I am serious when I need to be but can also be a bit of a clown. Not quite your typical Aussie Male ;). In many ways, I don't take life too seriously and just enjoy the simple things. I am very honest (sometimes too much) and one of those people who are happy and positive pretty much all year round. I laugh alot and find many things in life amusing :D. I am very cuddly and spontaneous, so be warned.....if we are walking along the beach together it is more than likely that I will just tackle (gently of course ;)) you on the sand. I love my work and am lucky to have a good balance in life to allow for traveling and sports.
I pride myself on my manners and appearance and am looking for similar in my ideal partner. I am never embarrassed to show my feelings and affections (even in public) and this is a quality I am really searching for in a woman. So I guess bottom line: if you like a moral, well presented, polite, easy going, sporty, kind guy who will cuddle and pamper you to death then I am your man ;)

August 11, 2014
A fraternity that was suspended for two years is back after only a few months. Pi Kappa Alpha was kicked off UVa. Grounds amid allegations of hazing last April.
Founded in the 1800's, they are one of the longest running fraternities at the University of Virginia. Last spring it looked like that that long history could be coming to an end.
Now, at the Pi Kappa Alpha house, it doesn't look like a fraternity kicked off Grounds. Workers spent the day doing construction and painting the walls. Students aren't scheduled to start coming back for a few days.
But they weren't supposed to have a fraternity house to come back to - after having its charter pulled just last April. Fraternity agreements were cut for Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu after an investigation into possible hazing incidents during new member education.
When the word came down from the University of Virginia, it was said neither fraternity could reapply until May of 2016.
Universities have cracked down on hazing in recent years after several high profile deaths.
A spokesman for Pi Kappa Alpha's national chapter said they sent people down from the national chapter five times to deal with issues and help with hazing prevention.
But not long after the school decided to cut off their charter the national chapter followed suit.
When they were first kicked off, the university offered them the chance to correct the problems and make major changes, but they failed to get it done in time.
Now the dean of student's office says the fraternity has put out a satisfying proposal to be reinstated.
So just a few months later, they are gearing up for a new year and a new pledge class.
CBS19 also reached out the national chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha this morning for a comment but we still have not heard back from them.

Danny Boyle's finest since "Trainspotting." In fact, it's the best British/Indian gameshow-based romance of the millennium.
Director Danny Boyle's riveting and kaleidoscopic tale, based on Vikas Swarup's debut novel "Q and A," is exquisitely adapted to the screen by Simon Beaufoy.
This is a breathless, exciting story, heartbreaking and exhilarating at the same time.
Like Mumbai, Slumdog pulses and throbs with raw, unadulterated life and the hope for a better Bombay, today. It's brilliant.
Boyle, one of the premier stylists in the world fills "Slumdog" with ebullient energy and ceaseless invention.
A stylish, ingeniously constructed bit of hokum, a sparkling trinket of a movie that's as implausible as it is irresistible.
Doesn't hit its stride until the last 30 minutes, and by then, it's just a little too late.

Last week, Bryan Eisenberg was in the Bay Area, starting the first of a three-city Call To Action Seminar series. The timing was meant to give people a head-start with improving their websites by giving them lots of ideas worth testing. We've had some fabulous feedback (see below) and were wondering if there was anything you wanted to know before Bryan's upcoming Call to Action seminars in New York City and Austin, TX.
"The Call to Action Seminar is a kick to the head [with] common sense, real-world examples and hilarious business anecdotes. Bryan's down-to-earth presentation style keeps the depth of information easy to understand. We covered everything from pig sperm to friggin' tanks!"
-Scott McClintock
"It is a real Call to Action! Join the movement to rid the world of bad websites. You will walk always with more action items than any meeting – but with a willingness to get started. The results are clear and the value is real."
-Sindy Braun
"Whether you think your website is about as good as it can be, or that it is as good as a pile of rocks, you will walk away with valuable tools to improve your site.
"I thought I knew everything about capturing visitor traffic and funneling from calls to action … I was wrong. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to take a fresh approach .. common sense at its best."
-John Harned
"From click to conversion… A must have course for any online developer, designer or just plain enthusiast. You'll never look at another web site the same; in fact, you may just run away laughing!"
-Tony Dunn
"I went from 'Hmmm…' to 'Oh, I got it!' Everyone that is in web marketing should take this course."
-Christine Buk
"Problems with conversion rates? Fuggedaboudit! In this class you can immediately apply to convert site visits to sales. I highly recommend it."
-David Bergen
"It's all about the brilliance! From how to pick a diamond, to bad Burberry Jackets, I learned how to pick apart any website, just so I can make mine better. From Future Now, Inc. the Call to Action Seminar gave me the insight I need to never look at websites the same way again."
-Karri Chamberlain
"This was a great seminar that compliments the book, Call To Action. If you haven't read it, go and buy it now!"
-Andrew Chan
"Although Web Analytics is Coremetrics' business, Bryan Eisenberg taught us how to Drive Persuasive Momentum through our clients sites and our own!! Using his ideas and coupling that with Web Analytics will help you to drive a lot of success in 2007 and beyond."
-Tim Schaeffer
We can't wait to see responses from the next ones. Will one of them be yours?
Thanks for such a great post and the review, I am totally impressed!
Tip top. Thanks for this.

CULPEPER, Va. (AP) - A woman convicted of taking money from a West Virginia racetrack and casino is asking a judge to postpone the seizure of her home in Virginia.
Fifty-year-old Anita Ambler of Reva is appealing her conviction in federal court in West Virginia. Her attorney, Stephen Herdon, says in a court filing that her house shouldn't be seized by the government until the appeals process is completed.
The Culpeper Star-Exponent reported the filing.
Ambler was convicted in April on charges of mail fraud, wire fraud and transacting criminal proceeds. Prosecutors say she took more than $1 million in horse racing funds from Mountaineer Race Track & Gaming Resort in Chester, W.Va., while working there.
She was sentenced in July to more than seven years in prison.

|FANTASY FOOTBALL: Griese looks like more than a journeyman heading into Week 7
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 17 October 2007 09:44
By JOHN McFARLAND
Associated Press Writer
It's hard to believe a guy who's been cut or benched for the likes of Jake Plummer, Rex Grossman, Chris Simms and Jay Fiedler could come back and become a solid quarterback.
But Brian Griese has overcome those devastating blows to his ego to become quite the fantasy football find in just three starts for the Bears - his fourth team since 2002. He's thrown seven TDs and averages nearly 300 yards. He's had some interceptions, but few as mindboggling or hideous as Grossman's.
The 32-year-old Griese also has a huge experience edge on Grossman. He's put up a couple 20-touchdown seasons as well as a few 3,000-yard seasons in his career, and he's played for QB gurus such as Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden and Norv Turner.
That's all well and good for real football, but Griese has even more in his favor from a fantasy standpoint: The Bears aren't running well or playing defense. Cedric Benson has been a flop, and the once-feared defense is allowing all sorts of points and yards.
It all adds up to a decent quarterback launching a ton of balls to a good receiving corps, with little threat of a running play or benching. It's fantasy perfection.
As you wonder what Mike Ditka makes of the Bears playing defenseless, run-free football, here's a look at some players to start in Week 7, some to avoid, and a few long shots who just may pan out:
-Well, well, look who decided to show up. Drew Brees' inept play helped put the Saints - not to mention thousands of misguided fantasy owners - in a deep, deep hole. But he looked like his old self last week and faces the bumbling Falcons.
-Outside of one monster game, Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb hasn't looked quite right. But he faces a softer-than-usual Chicago defense, and I'm certain if I keep saying McNabb will be good then he'll come through for my fantasy team.
-Washington's Jason Campbell has scored in four straight games. He faces an Arizona defense that last week was picked apart by 43-year-old Vinny Testaverde just days removed from a retirement regimen of watching TV and running errands
-OK, so Kyle Boller and the Ravens offense aren't good, but the odds are long that the Bills' 31st-ranked pass defense flukes its way into another five-interception day. The Bills have allowed an NFL-high three 300-yard passers.
-Jeff Garcia has been just decent, but Detroit is a defensive disaster. Plus, Garcia may want to prove he's not the offensive disaster he was with Detroit in 2005.
-It is silly to suggest a start for the Jets' Chad Pennington (6 TDS, 6 INTs), but everybody should get a start time against the Bengals.
Please, in the name of Jim Miller, don't start these guys:
-Even though Marc Bulger and however many ribs he has left are back this week, the winless Rams are such a mess that Bulger's a bad start even against Seattle's soft defense.
-When did Vince Young and the Titans get so boring? Many will overlook his horrid stats to think he'll put on a big show in his hometown of Houston.
-Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger is playing well, but he'll just hand off against the Broncos and the NFL's worst run defense that's allowing nearly 190 yards a game.
-Come on, NFL, is it really fair to make the winless Dolphins play the unstoppable Patriots? Despite the ethical questions, look for Miami's Ronnie Brown to provide his usual shame-saving stats.
-Likewise, watch the inactive lists Sunday morning and start whoever's running for the Patriots, even if it's that Heath guy. The Dolphins are allowing about 170 yards rushing and an NFL-high 10 TDS, and they've chosen this week to start the rebuilding process.
-Frank Gore and the 49ers haven't done squat offensively and face a punishing Giants defense that's led a four-game win streak. But Gore has had two weeks to rest, he's due for a big game, and the Giants are due for a bad one.
-The Jets finally decided to use offseason investment Thomas Jones last week, and he went over 100 yards. He may get 40 carries and perhaps a TD against the Bengals, who only stop the run by leaving receivers uncovered.
-How far has Seattle's Shaun Alexander fallen when he's on the sideline while a random fullback gets the fourth-quarter carries? Even with his 2.4 yards a carry the past two weeks, he should timidly tiptoe through the Rams with great success.
-Is Buffalo's Marshawn Lynch ever going to face a weak run defense? The Ravens may stop him often, but he'll also catch some passes.
-Here's something you never say at Chester Taylor's house: ``So, Chester, how's that job share thing going?'' He had more carries than Adrian Peterson last week, but even the Vikings must see that Taylor's best position is on the bench.
-It may seem nutty to bench Travis Henry, but a beat-up Denver line may be no match for the healthier Steelers. Henry has scored only one TD, and has been held under 70 yards in two of his past three games.
-Where has Dallas' Marion Barber gone? It is cool to watch him punch guys as he runs down the field, but he hasn't scored in three games. He faces the Vikings, the only team not to allow a rushing TD.
-Laveranues Coles had just one catch last week, and the Jets seem to have lost the ability to pass. They'll feel better when they see the Bengals, who have allowed more TD passes (13) than everyone but Cleveland.
-It's too easy to say Dallas' Terrell Owens will light up the Vikings' NFL-worst pass defense, so throw in No. 2 receiver Patrick Crayton, too. He's scored four times in his past three games.
-Don't just pick up the Saints' David Patten, but throw him into your starting lineup. Seven weeks in, and the Falcons still have that ``What are we doing here?'' look about them.
-Tennessee's Derrick Mason is going for about eight catches and only 70 yards a game, but Buffalo's already allowed four 100-yard receiving games.
-Remember way back when Lee Evans used to catch TDs for Buffalo? Here's a wild guess that his scoreless streak ends. (If not, don't cut him; he didn't score in six of his first seven games last year.)
-Maybe Atlanta's Roddy White will be so eager to avoid another rah-rah college-type speech from his coach that he'll exploit the shaky Saints secondary.
-Bench Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin against a Redskins defense that has allowed only two TD passes, an NFL-low. The Cardinals this week boast the twin QB threat of Tim Rattay and Tim Hasselbeck. (Apparently Kent Graham and Dave Brown were unavailable.)
-In case you're that fantasy owner who checks your roster once a week, here's a public service announcement: Chris Chambers was traded to the Chargers, who aren't playing this week.
-Speaking of Chambers, his departure means more playing time in Miami for Ted Ginn Jr. If you're weighing the merits of the Cleo Lemon-to-Ginn connection, your fantasy team is in some trouble.
DON'T FORGET THE BYE WEEK: Carolina, Green Bay, Cleveland and San Diego are off, meaning this is the only week you want to face the owner who drafted LaDainian Tomlinson.
Pick up these guys if they're available in your league: RB Michael Bennett (new back in Tampa), WR David Patten (113 yards), RB Jerious Norwood (Falcon with a pulse), QB Cleo Lemon (4 TDs), WR Ted Ginn Jr. (more playing time), WR Kevin Walter (whoever he is, he just had 160 yards).
Here's the best and worst of last week's projections:
Big Hits: I predicted success for Brian Griese (381 yards, 3 TDs), Derek Anderson (4 TDs), Cleo Lemon (4 TDs), Adrian Peterson (224 yards, 3 TDs), Maurice Jones-Drew (184 total yards, 2 TDs), Matt Hasselbeck (362 yards, 2 TDs) and Bobby Engram (113 yards). I expected failure for Shaun Alexander (35 yards) and James Jones (0 catches).
Big Misses: I expected more bad things for Drew Brees (2 TDs) and Amani Toomer (TD). I saw big things happening for Torry Holt (33 yards), Dwayne Bowe (46 yards) and Vincent Jackson (5 yards). I thought Kurt Warner's aging body would last beyond the first quarter.

I think the next step has to be to present a detailed plan to secure the border. If the public sees a roadmap with concrete details they´ll support it.

Sen Sessions is a good man, but his opinions will be listened to about as much as pea-size hail on a tin roof.A lot of noise, but no action.Might as well get used to it, we´re in for the 0th Reich for the next 20 - 70 years....Maybe the Mestizo-Muslim mix will have the guts to do something about it.

Lost wandering little bird,
Why don't you use your flight?
Come closer to me
Let me see your plight
Lost little bird
Spread your wings out wide
If you would only let me help you
You don't have to run and hide
Lost little bird
In circles you keep going
I want to help you little bird
But your painful spots you aren't showing
Lost little bird
It's been weeks that you've lived with the sting
You've lost your appetite for food
And all your desire to sing
You wander as a drifter
On the dangerous bottom ground
Don't you know this is where predators lurk?
You must be careful not to make a sound
There are cats and dogs and hunters
Surrounding all these woods below
If you'd only listen to me
I'd keep you safe from their blow
Lost little bird
Please don't be so frightened
If you come to me I'll mend you
Then again you can be heightened
Lost little bird
Trust in me to be kind
I'll treat you gently in a safe place
Where not another soul you'll find
Lost little bird
The cat's know you're here
They can smell your scent
And they can sense your fear
It's now or never little bird
It's your choice to make
Come with me to safety
Or suffer your own mistake
Little bird I will rescue you
I'll snatch you in my arms
I'll run with you close to my heart
Plunging you out of harm
In me your faith will grow to trust
And it will reach into your heart
You will understand my kindness now
And you will not want to part
You will look to me as your rescuer
Understanding I care for you
You will feel comfort in my arms
Knowing that I am here for you
