Valentine's Day Gift Ideas From YourCover
YourCover offers suggestions on how to make a magazine cover as a unique Valentine's Day gift.
Wilton, CT (PRWEB) December 31, 2012
With Valentine's Day falling on the same day each year, consumers are able to plan ahead for the gifts they might like to make, buy and give. Of course, the tendency to procrastinate is common which is why last minute Valentine's Day gifts such as flowers and candy continue to dominate.
However for those consumers who might like to plan ahead or even for those who do procrastinate and need a last minute gift, YourCover has been able to provide a solution to both needs. The personalized magazine covers at YourCover.com can be created in minutes but are totally unique. Instead of a generic gift that seems to say, "I waited till the last minute to think about you," the fake magazine cover is so customized, the recipient will think hours and hours of planning and work went into it, whereas its creation only took minutes.
To make a magazine cover for Valentine's Day, YourCover recommends choosing either the Valentine's Day, Love or Best Friends magazine cover template. For those who are particularly creative and want to make a magazine cover with a unique title, YourCover offers the blank make-your-own-title template. The next step is to add a personal photo of the recipient or the couple to the magazine cover and then to personalize the default headlines to reflect the life, relationship, and "true love story" of the person/people on the magazine cover.
Suggestions for giving the magazine cover include purchasing the photo file download for instant self-printing. Consumers add the print to their own frame and the gift is complete. YourCover can also print and frame the magazine cover. Additional gift ideas are to have the magazine cover design imprinted on a t-shirt, poster, mug or mouse pad.

Mt. Pleasant, Michigan
"My experience with the program was life changing. I met people who were able to provide me with information and resources to make my life better."
Nine years ago, Becky Bole of Mt. Pleasant was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system.
Becky prides herself on being an educated and informed patient, so when she started losing strength in her legs and the ability to stand and walk, she began searching for solutions. When Becky contacted MidMichigan Medical Center - Gratiot's RehabCentre, an inpatient medical rehabilitation program in Alma, she was relieved to hear they could help.
"The ease of the whole self-referral process was amazing," said Becky. "The staff helped with my insurance coverage; I was admitted and began receiving care almost immediately. They made my admission to the program so smooth!"
Becky was impressed by the RehabCentre staff from her first day. She worked with a comprehensive team that included experienced nurses, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a social worker, a neuropsychologist and two physicians. Pankaj Jandwani, M.D., medical director of the RehabCentre and Zubair Shaikh, M.D., board-certified neurologist are both on the active medical staff at MidMichigan Medical Center - Gratiot.
"Dr. Jandwani and Dr. Shaikh are very good. They are very thorough and proactive," said Becky. "I believe that the comprehensive team approach has made all the difference in my care, with great teamwork and excellent communication between groups. Everyone truly puts the patient first and understands the special needs of each person."
Becky's therapy schedule was intense, but she was not afraid of hard work. She worked with an occupational therapist on the tasks of daily living and with a physical therapist on building strength. She performed leg lifts and worked her core muscles with exercises and stomach crunches. With the help of a harness machine and her therapist, Becky began to build strength in her legs and can now stand for fifty minutes at home.
"Thanks to the help of the RehabCentre staff and their commitment to improving my life, I am now home with my family," said Becky. "My experience with the program was life changing; I met people who were able to provide me with information and resources to make my life better. The RehabCentre team was able to pull all of the pieces together – they made a difference."
The RehabCentre at MidMichigan Medical Center - Gratiot is a hospital-based unit specializing in intensive physical, occupational, recreational and speech therapy. Patients receive a minimum of three hours of therapy each day, along with 24-hour nursing and physician care. For more information on the RehabCentre, contact the community relations coordinator at (989) 466-3382.

Think of Austin and I'm sure its iconic annual festival springs to mind – not surprising if you're planning a visit to the 'live music capital of the world'. But this diverse scene is only the tip of the iceberg.
The downtown skyline may represent the cities growing music, film and technology industries. But in many ways, Austin still retains a small-town vibe, with the 351-acre Zilker Park as a spectacular back garden. The city's evolving culture has brought with it ballet, museums and innovative dining. But you don't have to look far to find shops selling traditional Texan cowboy boots, a 1930's style bathhouse and historic buildings that are more representative of times past. Don't overlook the hidden treasures. On a hot summers day you may find yourself drawn to the naturally chilled Barton Springs for a refreshing dip. Or Lady Bird Lake, where you can paddleboard or kayak as you admire the spectacular surrounds.

Well finally got the game today.. played it through in one sitting.. from 1pm to right now (so about 7 hours on normal). Even on normal this is probably the only Halo that was challenging. Overall it wasn't a bad game but there aren't any real twists or turns. What we knew happened.
Overall the game ended and I was really disappointed at the ending.Spoiler

For those of you wanting Heat in the Pipe. Just do whatever has said (Invincible, Unlimited Ammo w/o reloading) and turn skulls on for all three rounds. But also, go in and where it says Sqaud: Random, change it to Ordered (which will be selections below you. Fill it up with the top notch Elite, Hunter, and Brute (lowest points) teams and you'll easily be pulling in around 1.5k points for one kill. Took me 45 minutes, to do the full 1mill this way. I also, changed my loadout to rocket default and just spamm'd that on Corvette. I also turned off dropship so they would come faster and through doors, where I could shoot a few rockets to take 'em out quickly. Shouldn't get past the 3rd set (maybe 4th).

Microsoft has reassured Halo: Reach fans that it's trying to fix an issue that prevents 4GB Xbox 360 owners from playing Reach's campaign cooperatively, Eurogamer has been told.
Eurogamer was contacted by a number of Halo: Reach owners about the issue this morning.
Owners of the 4GB Xbox 360 (that 4GB is internal memory) who try to join a co-op campaign are greeted by this message: "One or more players do not have the hard drive required for this game type."
Microsoft's official Halo: Reach FAQ reads:
Q1: The error "One or more players do not have an Xbox 360 Hard Drive. An Xbox 360 Hard Drive is required to play co-op on Xbox LIVE or system link" occurs when I try to play. Why?
A1: One or more players do not have a certified Xbox 360 hard drive attached to their Xbox 360 console. Some multiplayer aspects of Halo: Reach require an Xbox 360 certified hard drive.
Online reports suggest USB memory sticks do not fill in for the absent storage. Halo 3: ODST suffered a similar limitation.
With Microsoft's costly £80 hard drive not on sale till later this month (it's out now in the US), some UK Halo: Reach owners are currently unable to access one of the game's most compelling features.
This morning Microsoft insisted the limitation is "temporary", but could not say when it will be fixed.
A Microsoft spokesperson told Eurogamer: "We are aware of the issue and are quickly working to resolve it."
According to Nukezilla, the problem only affects the new slim 4GB Xbox 360, and standard multiplayer remains unaffected.
Posted 15 September 2010 - 12:56
Bungie has tweeted that Halo: Reach is already smashing Halo 3's records.
"Reach already surpassed the all-time highest record for Halo 3 concurrent unique users on LIVE. Woot!" read the tweet.
Which means Halo: Reach is well on its way to top of Major Nelson's Live Activity charts and in a strong position to make a run at becoming the biggest-selling 360 game of all time. As we reported yesterday, Ladbrokes is offering 5/6 odds on that being the case.

Yeah, I would put it in the same class as the Focus and Mazda 3. Of course, those two have the Mazda Speed 3 and Focus ST that are a whole different level. I guess we'll see if Chevy decides to do a Sonic SS.
Wife hasn't let me drive it yet :(, but I would guess it is a bit more nimble than the Cruze I had. That was a fun little car for a 4-door econobox. I think Chevy hit a home run with the 1.4L turbo/6 speed tranny combo. A nice snap to accelleration and good MPG. However, if it was me I'd have the Focus ST...but it is the wife so if she's happy I'm happy.

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money.

The Ceredigion region
Ceredigion is situated in Mid West Wales, unspoilt open mainly small farming countryside, green rolling hills, with the beaches and coves of Cardigan bay a Short drive away. Driving once again becomes a pleasure with beautiful scenery and very quite roads.
From dolphin watching to gold mining, to Red kite centres (they are regularly seen from the barn) to a narrow gauge steam train journey from Abrystwyth to Devils Bridge through open country, rugged mountain scenery, cling to the hill side. Beaches, Bays and coves, to the Cambrian mountains and valleys and the Breacon Beacons. The Museum of internal fire with, huge and small stationary engines from days of yore, to out door pursuits such as Llain activity centre, offering, high rope zip wire, climbing abseiling, kayaking, archery and so much more. And the list goes on.
We are on a hill five miles from the small university town Lampeter, in the hamlet of Blaencwrt, a hand full of houses and small farms, surrounded by open farm land. There are small villages scattered about. Cardigan bay and its beaches are 12 miles to the west.

"Fantastic, but its never any other way. The perfect retreat to spoil yourselves"
Winllan Farm is a fantastic place to spend a break away from the maddening crowds.
I have stayed in both one of their fantastic wooden pods & also the larger plucking barn.
Steve & Janette are the best hosts you could possibly wish for & help in any way they can to make your stay an enjoyable one.
every thing is pristine from the dog paddock through to your preferred choice of lodgings.
Set in a very peaceful setting but within easy reach of local towns such as New Quay & an abundance of things to do, you can do as much or as little as you want & as we did, relax around the fire pit drinking mead from the local honey farm.
& the best part is that our little Jack Russel was welcome which is becoming rarer these days.
Next time we go & there will be a next time soon we're taking our chickens too!
watch out Steve
Wow, great to hear from you, and even better to know you really enjoyed your stay. It is always good to hear feed back, it helps us to know what people want form their holidays here.
We look forward to your next visit, Travis and Stanley( our two terriers) will love to meet your chickens..

"A comfortable, stylish and tasteful place in which to relax."
We were made very welcome right from the start by Janette and Steve. We were shown round the property and given a full explanation of the workings of the equipment. There was a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates provided which we enjoyed once we had settled in. The property is very new, very clean and very well equipped. They seemed to have thought of everything.The bed was very comfortable. The upstairs lounge and balcony make the best of the lovely views. It is in the country but not far from the coast. It is just a pity there isn`t a local pub.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review tha Plucking Barn, it really does mean a great deal to us that our guest enjoy their holiday and are pleased with tha accommodation we have on offer here at Winllan Farm.

I had higher hopes for this liner since it's popular, but it hasn't worked for me. I like a lip liner that is more creamy and sets matte while being pigmented. This is very sheer and I couldn't get it to work. NYX is about a dollar more and extremely pigmented. I chose 828 Ever and 809 Mahogany to compare with Tawny. The only thing I do like about the Jordana packaging is that it snaps shut to prevent it from drying out.

I like that they are pretty long lasting, and they are super affordable too.

Horrible lip liner. I've used Jordana lip liners before and they were fine. For some reason, this particular retractable lip liner does not go on well at all. It pulls on your lips (not nice and creamy) and the color doesn't match the color on the pencil. It goes on orangey. Also it doesn't last long at all.

OMG....What a great l/l by Jordana. It is a universally flattering nude (with brown and mauve undertones) that is not muddy at all.
It is very pigmented and smooth. The shade is beautiful enough to wear on its own. Its not drying whatsoever. This l/l is a HG for me. It tones down bright shades and amps up to "dead in the lip/washed out" nude shades. It also really locks down the lipstick so it wears for hours.
The packaging is nice and sleek and the pencil is retractable so that it doesn't require sharpening. The cover is also secure once closed properly, you wouldn't have issues.
My only grip with this the amount and the availability of this. I know I love this but I killed this in the space of a few months given the plethora of l/l I have in my collection. Thinking of it, the rapid diminishing of this l/l may be my fault. However, I can't understand why Jordana's l/l are so rare and this shade in particular.
Fortunately I had a back up and went out recently and got 2 more before more pple catch on to this and I just can't get hold of them.

This is my favorite every day liner. It is similar to my lip color and looks great with my favorite soft pink/nude lipsticks. I picked up 2 more at Walgreens last week for $1.39 each. It's a must try!

This is a very nice lipliner, and a great value for the price. I finally decided to try these after hearing about them from several Youtubers. I have discovered that I love lipliners, because I have an issue with lip color not staying on and they help a great deal with that. Tawny is a lovely rosey nude shade. It's perfect for a nude pink lip. It's a tie between this and NYX Nude Pink for my favorite nude liner, but this one wins in the formula department. The liner glides on smooth and creamy, not drying at all. I love that the packaging is twist up rather than a pencil also. Aside from Tawny I have Silver Lilac which I also love. I will be purchasing more but my local drugstore doesn't seem to carry all of the colors.

Just wanted to add another rave review for this product. If I ever have a lipstick that doesn't match any of my other liners, or a nude that makes me look dead, or a shimmery color I want to tone down, etc etc... This lip liner is the one I use. I currently have two of them (one at home and one to put in my bag) and whenever I run out of either of them I'll immediately replace it. Tawny is a peachy light brown color with a hint of pink that would flatter just about anyone. It's such a great MLBB color for me. The formula is slightly creamy so you aren't tugging on your lips, but not so creamy that your lipstick slips right off. It's pretty much the perfect base. The retractable point means that you never waste product by sharpening it. The actual product itself isn't brittle either, meaning that you won't break it if you press a bit too hard on it (which happened with a Rimmel lip liner of mine, luckily I was able to MacGyver it, but still). I have four more of these (Cabernet, Rock n Rose, Honey Dip, and Baby Berry) and am planning on getting more (at this price? I'll buy the entire line) but Tawny is still my absolute favorite.

DETROIT — A Lebanese citizen was convicted Friday of making false statements in connection with his naturalization application. The conviction is the result of an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Criminal Investigative Liaison Branch, and their Regional Security Office, U.S. Embassy Beirut.
According to court documents, Fadi Bazzi, 49, made false statements on his naturalization application to become a U.S. citizen. During his application for citizenship, Bazzi, withheld information that he had previously been convicted of theft in his native country. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment for the theft conviction.
He was also later arrested and convicted of retail fraud in Redford, Michigan. He failed to disclose both his criminal history in Lebanon and his criminal history in Michigan in his application for naturalization. He subsequently lied to immigration officials in interviews about his past.
As a result of his omissions, he illegally obtained legal permanent residency status and continued to lie to U.S. immigration authorities during naturalization proceedings. His naturalization was never finalized.
After the criminal charges have been fully adjudicated, Bazzi will be placed in removal proceedings.

Brandon is a small town in Suffolk, which has a population of just under 9,000.
As far back as the Domesday Book, the region was mined for flint and became a major stronghold for the production of flints for guns. Agriculture was also a vital part of the region's economy but these days those traditional sectors have been replaced.
Tourism is now a key part of the town's economy, with the popular High Lodge close by and the beautiful Brandon Country Park also a major attraction. Retail is also an important part of local business, with supermarket giants such as Tesco, Aldi and chemists Boots all major employers.
The population is older than average, but unemployment rates are low. There is not a demand for highly-skilled work, with most local people are employed in public administration or defence, with the most significant local employer the nearby military bases.
The airbases employ a large number of the Brandon population, either directly or in services needed to keep the base running, and recruitment agencies are likely to be seeking to place staff in employment in these areas. Because much of the work is not skilled, the average weekly pay for the town is £449, below the national average.
