CHANDLER, ARIZONA -- Had a couch delivered Monday July 7 at 11 AM, I did not notice the problem area(s) until after the delivery. On the back of the couch (where the back panels meet in the corners) it's peeling back on most of the corners and you can see screws and Staples. There is also material that has been rubbed off on the corners, like its been dragged on the ground.
I was told by delivery that I had 72 hours to call if there was an issue. I called 623-882-2400 at 8:30 am on July 10 (NOT YET 72 hours). Once I received a call back at 1:53 PM (now after 72 hours) I was told that it's over 72 hours (because Conn's counts days not hours) and they will send someone out to repair it. Why do the delivery drivers say 72 hours if it's not really 72 hours?
I called customer service and no one can help you. They tell you to call the store, the store tells you to call customer service and they in turn transfer you to the "correct" department, but it's never the correct department. They open tickets and then close them as resolved without ever communicating what the resolution is. They tell you, "Oh I am waiting for corporate. Let me call you back" And they never call. On Saturday July 12, I finally called the manager at the Chandler store, **, and he told me that they were going to replace the defective section of the couch.
The delivery people called that same day to set up a time to come out and replace the defective couch. Sunday, July 13, the delivery driver is at the house and tells me that Conn's ordered the wrong one. You deliver a couch that is already falling apart and then when you try to correct the problem you mess that up too. I had other items that we purchased (oven, rug and microwave) that have not been delivered and I have already canceled those.
On Monday July 14, I called customer service yet again and asked them to come pick up their defective couch and to close the credit account.. I was told they could come get the couch, for a $129.00 fee and then I could exchange it for something else, or I could do a voluntary repo but I am still responsible for payment.
When you make a big purchase, such as a couch, you are not only paying for quality merchandise, you're paying for quality customer service. Since the couch was delivered defective and then you sent the wrong couch out to "fix" my issue and the complete lack of customer service, I would like for Conn's to come pick up their defective couch, which still has all the tags on, and close my credit account with no negative impact on my already good credit.
THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS -- I am or should I say I was a long time customer of Conn's. I purchased numerous TVs, lawn mower, TV mounts, refrigerator, but my complaint is on the computer that I purchased in January 2013.
The computer stayed in the box for 3-4 months due to office remodelling and once we opened and started using it the computer crashed after about 6-10 hours of use! It didn't even last a week! I took it to Sugar Land to get it fixed and when it was being fixed I contacted the store I purchased it from, which was in The Woodlands, and spoke to manager. The manager agreed to replace it and if there was a cost difference I would pay.
It took me some time to go over to The Woodlands. I live about an hour plus away from there, and when I was ready to head over I called to let him know and he said it was too late! Apparently there was an expiration on the replacement! Too bad he failed to mention that the first time he spoke. Why he wouldn't, I have no idea. We argued over the phone and I gave up. So I went to Sugar Land to pick it up and spoke to the manager there, he suggested that I contact Conn's directly. So I left the computer and tried with no success to get it resolved, no returned calls, nothing! All the while, I had paid my bill every month for a computer that I did not have and did not even work!
I finally went back to the store to go pick up my computer, and even though it was in the store (yes I said in the store) Conn's refused to let me pick it up because their computer showed it was "in transit." So I left again with no computer and extremely angry. What a waste of my time and money! I am finally at the point were I refuse to pay for this computer. I get 3-4 calls a day on my payment, but NO calls on the lack of their customer service, no calls on the repair or replacement of my computer that they have! Today the last straw I spoke with Conn's and they show in the computer that I picked it up!
NO, Conn's you still have or lost or sold or whatever you did to it, I don't! I am not a complainer. I typically don't write review or anything online, but this is just ridiculous! I will tell everyone I know about this experience and tell them to never to go Conn's! Don't waste your money at this store.
HOUSTON -- I've bought MANY things at Conn's. I've had several accounts – and have paid those accounts off in full. In November I went in to purchase a washer and dryer. I was VERY VERY specific with the sales person, "I have TWO accounts. I do not want this purchase set up on a THIRD account." You know every time you call to make a payment over the phone they charge you $3 for EACH account – and having three was ridiculous. So the sales person promised me faithfully that it would be set up on TWO accounts. I make my payments – via the phone – calling Conn's corporate to make the payment.
Long story short – the sales person "missed" one of my open accounts (after all there were TWO) – and then created a third account for the new purchase. NONE of my payments had gone towards the new account – and their friendly collections department started calling me – and did not accept my story that there should only be two accounts. SO, it's another phone call to the store – a trip back to sign a NEW contact condensing two accounts into one.
Meanwhile – while I'm waiting for this to be straighten out I can't make the UNEXPECTED payment until my next check, collections is calling my cell phone at 9 pm, and calling me at work. Plus I'm pretty sure that when it's all said and done someone will eventually inform me that I've lost my 0% financing because of the late payment. Joy. I asked the sales person – who was basically responsible for this mistake – to call off the collections call – she cannot. "Just ignore them." Up to this point I was a happy camper - but this is just unnecessary stress that I didn't need. This will be my LAST purchase from Conn's. Customer Service has just gone OUT the window. Not happy.
MESQUITE, TEXAS -- I am very displeased and upset. My microwave gave out and it hasn't been 8 months since I bought it. When I initially called to report this, I was told a local company would call me. Service tech was for 3/24, I hear representative call out wrong address. I corrected her 3 times and tech shows up wrong house, so I had to reschedule for 3/28. The tech comes out and states they can't fix it and will forward the information to Whirlpool. I have no one calling back to give me an update, instead they are trying to schedule another tech and actually scheduling a date without my permission.
In the meantime, I am calling and following up between Conn's service and Whirlpool, which should not be my job. I am the consumer, this should have been replaced per 1st tech that came out. Instead it's just dragging now. This last tech showed up on 4/7 and took my microwave. He said he would see what the problem is and get back with me sometime next week.
Meanwhile I have a gaping hole above my stove, looks very ugly not to mention having to go without a working microwave. I am at my wits end. I just want to either have this replaced or my account credited. I will say this, I will close this account once it gets resolved/paid out. I will never buy anything else from this company again. I have never experienced this in my life. Reps type your wrong address, while I am correcting them on the phone and still sends the tech to wrong address, again and again and again.
If it wouldn't be for me to go out there across the street today on 4/7 I would have probably missed this tech as well. I asked the tech, "are you here to service my microwave?" He states, "I'm told to go to 2625." I advised you are at the wrong address my address is across the street **. So he follows me back across the street to my house. I can't even get a tech to come to the right address to service the ** thing to begin with and now they take the microwave. I want to be compensated for the whole month I've gone without a microwave and want my account credited for my family being inconvenienced by this whole deal.
BEAUMONT, TEXAS -- First issue is when I initially bought this window unit, I also bought another unit in addition for my master bedroom. I was told by the salesperson that this was an excellent product and that her brother had it and it would "freeze" his room. When I got it home, it would not cool off my room at all because there was not enough BTU for the room. I called the store on the next business day and they told me that I could not return it, so here I am stuck with a AC that I can't use due to the salesperson lack of knowledge on the unit and also informing me of false information. I still however had the unit in question in the living room and LOVED it.
Well on Wed, Aug. 6, 2008, after having it at only 3 months it stopped working. So we went to Conn's and bought a new one for the bedroom since it would not cool off the room, needless to say it would not cool the house off either if we opened the doors. So we got a new unit from Conn's on 08/06/08, came home and put it in and was too late to bring the broke living room one in. So my husband took the day off from work so he could bring it in to the service dept. He was told to wait in the lobby because they had nothing in the back and they would be able to look at it right then. He waited for about 20 min. before someone came out and asked if he had been waited on.
He told them that it was back there and they told him to wait some more time that it would be looked out. After waiting another 20 min. approximately, they came back out and told him that it would be another 15-30 min and for him to come back. Well he told them that he would have to come back home since we don't live in that city and he had nowhere to go. They told him that they would call him and let him know what they found. I waited on Friday and Saturday for a phone call and nothing ever came.
Well on Saturday I called the "service dept" and found out that they closed at 5 pm and it was 5:22 pm. I called corporate to complain and figure out why no one called to let me know what was going on. Well I spoke to a Customer Service Representative and he let me know what the manager's name over the local service dept. and told me that he could not really do anything that I would have to call on Monday. He also told me that they could have "loaned me out an AC." I was so excited over the news that I could possibly have an AC unit until I would get mine fixed.
I waited until Monday at about 1:30 pm and tried calling the Service Dept. again thinking it would have been enough time for lunch. I called the automated answering service and waited 8 min. and hung up and called again and waited 10 min. I called the College St. store and asked if the Service Dept. had another number that I could call, because I do not live in the same city so I could not just drop in.
He let me know what they were at "lunch" and I told him about the "loaning out an AC" and he told me that they stopped doing this YEARS AGO and that the Customer Service Representative just told me something so he could get off the phone. So that right there really upset me. I waited a few more min. because the person at the store told me to wait because they were at "lunch."
I finally called again and waited for someone to pick up the phone with no avail. I finally called back to the store and they told me that I had to WAIT on the phone until someone answer. He gave me an extension number of #81, even though they automated answering service says 4 digits, no 2 digits like he told me. He told me to get comfortable and don't hang up that it would take a while before they answer. I called again and waited 16 min. before I hung up.
I then called corporate again and got this wonderful person on the phone who told me that she would get an Expedited Form on it and make it a priority. I told her that I was going to run to the Service Dept. since they were not answering the phone to see what kind of progress they were doing. I walked into the Service Dept. and they looked up the service slip. He told me that there was no "update" on the status of work. I asked him why they told my husband originally on 08/07/08 that they would call him. He told me that he didn't know why because they don't tell people that.
He then told me that they don't tell people to wait while they look at it because it takes up to 14 days to EVEN LOOK AT IT, NOT TO GET IT FIXED. I told him that I would like a timeline and he said that according to when I brought it in that it would be 14 days to look at it. He said that it could be while before it got fixed. He then went on to tell me that he could not "prioritized" my service to put it in front of others, that it would not be fair.
I then told him that I was not saying that I was anyone special that I just wanted some answers and wanted to know if I needed to go ahead and buy a new one while it was getting fixed. He would never look me in the eyes and never would give me a straight answer.
I asked him to get the manager. He told me that he would be with me in a minute. The manager came out to the lobby looking at who might have wanted to talk to him. I told him that it was me that wanted to speak with him. I told him that my first issue was with them not answering the phones. He then told me that the calls go to a Call Center at corporate and they don't get any calls. I asked if they had a direct number and he told me NO! Then I asked why my husband had to unnecessarily wait on 08/07/08 and he said he had no idea why they told me that because they don't do that.
Then he told me that there was nothing that could be done that it would get looked at in the order that the services were brought in. Which is totally understandable. I just want some answers. I told him that I was not happy with the treatment that I have had and that it would be the last time I spent any money at Conn's. I told him that I had contacted Corporate on them and that there was an Expedited Form being put on it to get fixed, so I guess they had never seen that yet because he had no idea what I was talking about.
He then told me that I had his word that he would get someone to look at it this Wed or Thur, 08/13/08 or 08/14/08. I once again asked if I had his word on that because I didn't want to have to raise HELL. I just want my AC fixed. By this time, the woman behind me proceeded to tell me that it has taken 3 months to get her weed eater to get fixed that they had just called her and she was there to get it. I asked him if this is the normal procedure about how long things get fixed. Then there was others in there by this time and I asked them if this had happened to them. I had one guy tell me it took 4 months before he got his laptop computer back.
Another guy told me that he has brought his AC unit back 4 TIMES. He also told me that each time he has been in there that there was always someone else complaining about their service. Another woman told me that it took 3 months for her camera to come back. I then asked him again if this was normal. He said that with the weed eater that the Lawn and Garden is a different dept. than the Appliances. He told me that when they had their stuff in there that they had been extra backed up and it was rare for it to be like that. I then asked if it was going to be 3 months before I got my AC back.
He told me again that someone would look at it on either Wed or Thur of this week. I then told everyone in the lobby that everyone needs to write to the local paper and express our feelings at Conn's Service Dept and Conn's itself.
I didn't want to start trouble I just wanted answers. I told him that if you say something, then you should act upon it. If someone at the Service Dept. told my husband that they would call him back, then call him back and let him know that it is still getting looked at. And when someone brings something in to get fixed, then their policy should be that they tell the person that it would be up to at least 14 days to get around to it.
I told him that after this was paid off I would NOT buy anything from Conn's again, thinking this could happen again. I have had the worse time with Conn's service, Customer Service on the phone and in the store with regards to the Salesperson telling me false information. I am very upset and will make sure others know of my problems with them. I have now bought a total of 3 window units in 3 months, 1 of which should not have been purchased at all.
I have now written to the BBB since they are a member. I also sent a letter via email to "customer service." I also told them if I didn't receive feedback on this matter that I would be taking my story to all local papers. I know it might not do anything, but it would at least show people what kind of crooks that Conn's are.
First of all in my line of work I deal with the public and I mean a lot of people which are now not shopping at Conn's due to my personal experience. Conn's has owed me a little over 100.00 dollars for 5 months which they took out of my personal checking account after I paid off my mattress set. They have given me the runaround at least 2 times a week since October. I have been a loyal customer for 3 years. I should have been aware after the dishwasher I bought for 475.00 broke down 3 days after warranty and they would not send out a repairman.
I paid 75.00 for a repairman from my area to come to fix it but, he said that the dishwasher had internal problems and could not be fixed. Because 3 days is 3 days and I try to follow the rules of a establishment that I do business with, I accepted the situation and bought one from Sears, which is still working great after 2 years. Well a good sell at Conn's turned my head and I again bought from Conn's, a mattress and box springs. Which I paid in good faith, even paying off early. Conn's let the consumer set up payments 3 months in advance so that is the how I set my payment plan up with Conn's. Every 3 months I called and set up the 3 payments from my checking account.
I paid off my mattresses off early and told Conn's to not take out any more payments due to pay off. The next month they took out a payment. I called them and told them of the mistake on their part. They wanted proof so my bank sent proof. They said they would send me a check in 10 days. In ten days, no check. But 10 days late another withdraw to Conn's was taken out of my account. I called, was sent to 3 different departments, said again to send the proof. I did this. I called a week later and found that I had been taken out of the system. It took 2 more phone calls to get me back in the system. I have ask to talk to a supervisor and have been told to leave my number.
Five months later I have never received a phone call from a supervisor or anyone else for that matter. So, I have taken the matter to a Lawyer, and me and about 32 other people are sending out mass emails and forwards telling people to stand together and don't let the big businesses take our hard earned money out of our pockets anymore. And start holding them responsible for how they treat the people that have made them who they are. We have lined their pockets the least they can do is return to us respectable, fair and courteous relations.
Conn's will lose a lot more if everyone stands together and stops buying from businesses like Conn's that get rich off of people that look for deals and have to watch their pennies. Most people that buy from Conn's live from paycheck to paycheck. We deserve better treatment. I now save my money and pay cash and only when the item is on sale. That interest that you will save by not buying at Conn's on Credit will hit them hard if you take your business elsewhere. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of dissatisfied customers out there... with complaints such as this. We are probably just considered unlucky. As people from my country say, "we have to pay for the broken dishes". BUT here's my complaint: Why should the time it takes for an appliance to be repaired (or the time it takes the ordered parts to arrive) be included in the warranty?
We bought an Ashley set of leather couches at Conn's about a year or two ago. Within a month or two the leather's color was fading. I didn't know leather faded just like that. We called in for repairs and they came and the repairman told us that the leather was no good... and that the couch (the three-seat) was poorly made. We never thought to ask him for a written statement (which was pretty dumb of us)... but once he left, my mother called again to tell Conn's... and guess what happened?
They sent another repairman... and HE said he needed to order some parts. We called two weeks later.. and they told us that the parts had not arrived. We called again the next week and they said parts arrived and that the repairman would be there within a week. He never dropped by. We called again and they said he DID drop by... but that no one was at home (we hardly went out). However, don't they leave notes?
After that... the warranty wasn't valid anymore... and they wouldn't do a thing about it. We took a trip to the store we bought it from. And the manager called Ashley Furniture (the manufacturers?) but they never answered so she left a message. I guess I should give Conn's credit for at least calling Ashley Furniture for us, but what about the delay? Shouldn't Conn's have replaced the couches within the year warranty if they were no-good to begin with?
What's more... we were never able to talk to Ashley's Furniture about it... and my mom insists Conn's should take care of it... since they didn't do a thing when we were within the year warranty. Something like that happened to my computer too... but that's a whole other story.
Dear Conn's customer,

Thank you

BEAUMONT, TEXAS -- I am a previous employee of Conn's Appliance. The attorney generals office recently sued them for Fraud in Houston Texas. I will let you know that this company is a horrible employer with employees being discriminated against as well as customer discrimination. I am going to explain to you that I have documentation of everything that I mention in this email. I need help. I have some lawyers who will be handling my personal case, however some of you on these complaint boards were victims of credit fraud. In fact this company writes up to over million dollars month worth of it.
I am just going to brief you on some of the things that I have. If you need details and want to help me give the company what it deserves then send me an email about your situation at **. I will address all emails. I want to know if you received random payment books or harassing phone calls when you did not buy anything. I want previous employees to contact me if you were terminated for no reason. Conn's directed district staff to let all associates who want Sundays off for church could quit. We were told to worship around Conn's time. Anyone who would like to get involved with a class action lawsuit or if you just are tired of being harassed by them let me know. Now what I have.
Over 1.2 million dollars of credit fraud from just one day. Proof of Conn's not allowing associates to worship. (I am also sending this to all churches and would like them to help me as well). Proof of discrimination. Unfair credit practices. Wrongful terminations. Unfair consumer practices. i.e. returns, service and customer complaints. Taught us if you come in with a problem, call your wife or someone else and pretend you are trying to help them. I have numerous letters from Previous employees and current regarding fraud against the consumer. This company is dirty from the top down. And I want all the ammo I can get. Please help.
If you buy a product from Conn's and it's not working properly, simply call Conn's 409-832-1696, the operator will pick-up, just simply ask for the Legal Department. Tell the legal department that you are hiring a lawyer to represent you in court. Ask the person for their name and extension number. Ask them who should the citation be issued to?
Ask them if they have notated your account properly that your product was sold to you defected? *More than likely Conn's Legal Department will not sue you on default payments if it's notated properly that the product was sold defected and you have not gotten proper service on it. Call as soon as you feel your product is not right.
Also, if you have a medical issue that is keeping you from making payments make sure you tell them the exact medical issue. Conn's do not like to notate cancer, hospital, death, shot, fire, etc. Because this will keep the attorneys from pursuing it as a legal matter. Listen to me! Always call this number and ask for the legal department and give your exact medical situation. Do not talk to LDRT-Legal Dispute Resolution Team, they do not care! You want the Legal Production team. Have Legal repeat to you what they have notated in your notes. Never settle for the terms "medical issue" or "health issue".
Tell them what you want it to say, it's your account. *You have a 99% chance that your account will never go to court. You may get a demand letter, sue letter. If a case is filed, more than likely it will be dismissed. *THEY WILL SEND YOU A REINSTATEMENT LETTER, BUT NEVER SIGN IT. Another smart move is to have the Post Office send your mail back to them as Temporary Away. Don't answer the phone, do not have your name on your voicemail, tell neighbors do not answer questions concerning you, other than you moved to Mexico. LOL. Conn's will call you from personal cell numbers in your area, don't answer the phone.
They won't leave a voicemail, they will wait for you to call the number back and say "Hi.... this is Conn's." You simply state, "I don't know you." and hang up. They have 5-10 local numbers to call you on. It's not unheard of for people to buy a house full of merchandise and move to Mexico, or become suddenly ill, or suddenly die. They won't sue in Mexico or a dead person! Also, never say you are married, they will harass your spouse... Never say you are married, they will harass your spouse.
Don't take my blog as a means of legal advice, contact a lawyer. This is my sole opinion, just in case you have someone that try to retaliate. There are plenty lawyers right now suing Conn's for harassment, record your conversation and call one today. I almost forgot. If you have an unauthorized payment on your account, call the Legal Department and tell them. For sure they will not sue. Fax proof to Legal Department fax number. Make sure you get it from them. As always, I hope you are dancing!!!! Conn's cannot win................
TEXAS -- I have been without an oven since 3/9 on a stove that has only been used for a little more than 2 years. This means we were unable to have our traditional Easter family lunch and dinner. The stove was purchased brand new with an extended warranty from Conn's. The stove and the extended warranty have been paid in full for some time. The stove is a GE glass top, stainless steel model number GLEFZ379FC also not recommended. The extended warranty is through 11/16/2010. Total paid was $1,004.54; all paperwork is available for proof. I previously purchased a chair, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a microwave, air conditioner, and a TV.
I have repeatedly called and I have been repeatedly promised that someone will call me back. There was to have been a service person to repair the stove on 3/20. The person never called and never showed up. When we called the following Monday we were promised that someone would call us back, but we also found out that no part had been ordered. This game went on and on and we were repeatedly promised that the part had been ordered and that someone would call us back with an explanation.
On 4/03 someone slipped and admitted that the part had not been ordered, but that it could not be ordered until Monday 4/6 because of inventory and we were promised a call back confirming the ordering of the part. Needless to say no call came Monday 4/6 and 4/7 I called and no part had been order and there was no explanation of why, when a part would be ordered, an offer for a manager to call us back, and no apology whatsoever!
The customer service is beyond atrocious and the only responses I get are sarcastic "I do not knows" and "I cannot answer for someone else" and there is NEVER a manager available to speak to me. I called one of the stores in an attempt to get some help and they openly admitted that they cannot get any further with the situation than what I can. The store number I called is 512-335-1001 and the customer service number, if you can call it that, is 1-800-280-1514. The store that attempted to help me called and acted as if they were me and they were equally as appalled by the customer service attitude.
The person at the store repeatedly apologized that there was nothing he could do, but there was no way for him to push anything any further and that his service manager said that I needed to call customer service; the manager still said this even after the helpful person told him that not even a Conn's employee could get an answer out of customer service.
With this experience, I am MORE than shocked to see A+ BBB rating especially coupled with the number of complaints filed in the last 36, which totaled 1,930! These circumstances are making me rethink my belief in using and the credibility of the BBB itself and businesses that are BBB accredited.
Update 5/5/2009: This all started with a repair issue on my oven, see above. Well, once I filed a complaint with the Texas Attorney General and the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation (they deal with warranty issues) my stove was magically fixed the following day. People need to file complaints with state and/or federal organizations, these entities work off of numbers and unless the public registers complaints they never know there is an issue to be investigated. The real kicker is that it took 5 minutes, yes 1, 2,3,4,5 whole minutes for the part to be replaced and the oven to once again work. Conn's is so messed-up that they called 3 days later to schedule a repair person.
However, now what is most concerning is that the BBB actually sent me a response from Conn's that was 2 sentences. The stove was fixed on 4/20 and we are sorry for the inconvenience. In my BBB complaint I specifically requested an explanation of why it took so long, what would be done to improve customer service, and a full apology from Conn's.
I obviously rejected the BBB letter as settling the matter and stated I wanted what I requested along with an explanation from the BBB as to why Conn's still has an A+ rating with 1,972 complaints in the last 36 months as of 5/5 and why the BBB would accept such an unbelievably weak response from Conn's on my complaint. I requested this explanation from the BBB on 4/18 in a separate e-mail to the BBB of Southeast Texas and in my rejection letter on 4/22 to the BBB.
I have yet to receive an acknowledgement of my request for an explanation from the BBB, much less an explanation. I will wait a full month for a response from the BBB and then I will file a report with the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive practices and contact one of the local news stations. All I can say is do not trust the reports on the BBB and look-up complaints on the BBB; once you do you will see that there are many legitimate complaints on the organization! People need to be educated on what a scam the BBB really is!

I first met Amanda at the Wedding Fair in 2011, while looking for vendors. After exploring and interviewing several Stationers, it became clear that using Glimpz was an absolute no-brainer. From day one, Amanda was so incredibly helpful, knowledgable, patient, and understanding. Navigating between my 8,000 emails, she managed to make magic happen right from our save the dates through to our wedding day stationary. She truly went above and beyond not only with the beauty, and professionalism of her product, but by her personal touches, and one-on-one interactions. I got more compliments on my wedding stationary than I did on my dress. I have already referred several of my friends to Glimpz, and am still receiving emails, and texts asking me where I had everything done. I would absolutely recommend Glimpz to anyone who asks, and I know with full certainty where all of my future Christmas cards, invitations, and perhaps in the verrry distant future, birth announcements will be ordered from. ;)

When we set out to find the perfect invitation for our wedding, we of course asked our recently married friends who they used for their invitations. It should come as no surprise that you came very highly recommended to us. Right from our first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. You really listened to both of our ideas and visions and incorporated them into something that we both really loved. I was so proud of our beautiful invitations, I couldn't wait to get them in the mail to our family and friends! By the next day we had people calling to tell us how elegant and lovely our invitations were.
Your creativity and artistic talents with graphic design allowed us to continue with our "Winter Wonderland" wedding theme from our invitations to other areas of the wedding, such as our personalized chocolate bar wrappers (which people are still talking about), seating chart, table numbers, thank you cards and even our rented photobooth. Working with you was an absolute pleasure. Thank you for helping us make our wedding day one of the most amazing and memorable days of our lives.
Jenny and Jeremy Crawford
We just wanted to send you a quick note to share with you that we've had tons of really positive feedback from our families and friends about our invitations. Everyone really loves the style and uniqueness of them, and said that they suited us completely :)
We've probably said this a few times already but we just wanted to say again that you did an absolutely fantastic job and we really couldn't have hoped for anything more - hopefully all our other wedding planning goes as well! We'll be in touch in the next few months about other things.

I'm so happy with my invitations by Glimpz. They turned out so beautifully that it put a few of my relatives to tears! Amanda is great, she listened to everything I wanted and made my visions come to life. I will definately use Glimpz again for my upcoming wedding stationary and so much more! Thanks!
Magdalena Sztuk
Our experience with Glimpz was fabulous. Amanda was a pleasure to deal with. She was very accomodating with coordinating our schedules to meet. When we first met to design our invitation, she provided great direction with different styles and looks as well as colors, specialty papers, ribbons and how we could make our choices work into our budget. Her expertise on what would look best as well as the appropriate wording to use, made our vision of the invitation come together perfectly. We were so thrilled with how our final invitation came out! All of our guests commented on our beautiful wedding invitations! We ended up having to order several more invitations after the original order and it was not a problem at all, she finished them for us really quickly so we could get them in the mail. I really appreciated her getting those to us so fast.
I would highly recommend Glimpz and Amanda for anyone needing invitations. They are original, beautiful and handmade. Thanks so much Amanda!
Kara Cronin
Both my husband and I were extremely pleased with the job that Glimpz did with our wedding invitations. They were beautifully crafted and we received so many compliments before, during and after our wedding! Amanda was friendly, helpful and very easy to work. She guided us through the process of creating the perfect invitations for our event with ease and grace. For a decision that could have been stressful and difficult, our experience was instead fun and enjoyable! I recommend her to all my friends!
Heather Jarzyna
We used Glimpz for our invitations and programs for our wedding in August 2008. Amanda helped us design unique and elegant invitations with a finished product that was impeccable. She was very professional and we really enjoyed working with her. We received many compliments from our guests and would highly recommend Glimpz to our family and friends!
Melissa & Kevin Frankiw
Thank you Amanda for the most beautiful invitations. Most of our invited guests commented on how elegant and beautiful they were. It set a great tone for our wedding! Thanks again for the very artistic, elegant work.
Thank you also for handling everything over email and making any changes that we came up and suggestions that you had as well. Would highly recommend your services to all couples.
Tanya & Derek
Having my wedding invitations done with Glimpz was NOT at all stressful. When it came to designing the invitation I had one little idea and Amanda took that idea and did magic! Her work is so classy and elegant! She takes pride in what in she does. She always meets her deadlines and her work never looks rushed. She is very much interested in pleasing her clients. She is continually seeking your feedback on the work that she has done. All of our guests at our wedding loved the invitations, they loved the programs (the fact that they were fans it served a dual purpose) and they loved the table triangles. I would recommend Glimpz to any and every bride because that is one less thing you have to worry about!
Amanda's presence is calm, she is professional and organized! GREAT WORK AMANDA!
I am very picky and particular about the way things are done and I had no problem with Amanda!

It was a wonderful experience working with Amanda at Glimpz in designing our wedding invitations. She made the experience incredibly fun, creative and met all of our requests, from finding beautifully coloured recycled paper that fit our budget to helping us select the right image and card design for our invitations themselves. We were incredibly happy with her service - her work was always completed on time and the products of her work were consistently amazing. Many friends and family shared with us that they thought our wedding invitations were the most beautiful they had ever seen. With all of the details and pressures that can go into planning a wedding, working with Amanda was a great pleasure.
Thanks for everything again and good luck to you with your work - I will definately recommend you to friends into the future.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for doing such a beautiful job on my wedding invitations! Meeting with you and picking my invite style was really great...you had so many samples and I felt really comfortable designing my own personal style after seeing what great work you had done. I also really liked the fact I could take bits and pieces from different invitations to create one of my own.
Thank you for being so easy going and professional....I have had nothing but great reviews from my guests. One actually told me the other day she shows it to everyone that comes to her house! Just knowing it is handmade makes it so much more special and personal.
Thanks again and i will be sure to pass your name along to anyone I know looking for invitations, thank you cards, shower cards etc.

Glimpz invitations are absolutely beautiful! I was initially overwhelmed with all of the choices to be made but Amanda has an excellent eye for detail and offered valuable suggestions. The end result was unique, yet stylish wedding invitations that I have received countless compliments on. What I like most about Glimpz is the invitations are original and creative, without being "over-the- top".
Amanda is very personable and professional and was even willing to accommodate my last minute request for table and place cards. I highly recommend Glimpz to anyone about to celebrate a special occasion.

It was a pleasure having Glimpz do my wedding invitations. Amanda was very professional and friendly. The invitations look great and I've gotten so many compliments on them.

Your wedding invitation is the first impression your guests will have of your big day and therefore it is essential that it sets the tone of what's to come... When initially planning our invitations, we had an idea of what we wanted, but with Amanda's keen eye for detail, we were able to refine our ideas and colour choices and came up with the perfect invitation that matched both my fiancé's and my personal styles and preferences. Amanda also created coordinating church programs and give-away tags that tied everything together seamlessly.
For me, making my invitations was not an option (time constraints and I can't seem to cut a straight line). Dealing with Glimpz made the whole process easy and enjoyable; Glimpz was recommended to me by friends, and I would definitely recommend Glimpz to other brides-to be!

The invitations were a HUGE hit with everyone - had more than one person say it was the nicest wedding invitation they had ever received! So thanks again for them, they were amazing!!

I cannot say enough great things about the invitations let alone Amanda. She is professional knowledgeable and wonderful to deal with. I highly reccomend this company to anyone and everyone.

Welcome to the live blog for this World Cup round of 16 game between the United States and Ghana. My name is Ross Devonport, and I'll be your guide for this crucial clash in Rustenburg. Refresh often for the latest updates.
FULL TIME - And the dream is over for the U.S. as they fall 2-1 to Ghana for a second straight World Cup. They had some late chances and Kingson made a couple of crucial punches, but it just wasn't to be. Thanks for joining us here at CBSSports.com for our World Cup blogs.
113' - Ghana, who are doing everything possible to give their players a rest, including flopping ridiculously bring on Sulley Muntari for Inkoom.
109' - Bornstein earns a free kick just outside the top corner of the box, but Donovan's ball from the left is punched away by Kingson.
105' - The whistle blows for the end of the first 15 minutes ot extra time, and Ghana were knocking it around nicely following their goal. The U.S. looks tired and will have to dig deep if they're going to produce another miracle.
98' - The U.S. get a corner and take it short. Cherundolo puts in a great cross from the right and Edu beats Kingson to the ball, but it squeaks agonizingly wide.
93' - GOAL GHANA!! A long, hopeful ball is collected by Asamoah on the run just outside the U.S. box. He shakes off a strong upper-body challenge from Bocanegra and rifles a left-footed shot over Howard and into the net. A great run by Asamoah as he showed off superb strength to shake off Bocanegra. Luckily the U.S. still have 27 minutes to get a goal back. Ghana 2, United States 1
90' - Bradley makes a risky move by using his final sub to bring off Altidore, who looked tired, and bring on Herculez Gomez. Hopefully no one gets hurt in extra time.
90+4' - Ghana gets a late corner, but a deep ball can only be headed over and the final whistle goes. Two 15-minute halves coming up, followed by a penalty shootout if necessary. Ghana 1, United States 1
90+2' - Ayew receives a very harsh yellow card as Altidore sprints off down the left before triipping over his own feet. Hard to imagine a pro athlete doing that, but replays seem to show he did.
87' - This game has got tight over the last 10 minutes, with neither team wanting to make that mistake that could turn into a massive goal. This one looks headed to extra time.
81' - Altidore latches onto a monster ball from the back and battles Mensah in the box. The two fall to the ground as Altidore barely gets a shot off, and despite penalty claims, replays show that Altidore was the one who initialized the contact.
78' - Stephen Appiah comes on for goal scorer Boateng, who took a knock on his thigh.
76' - Bradley latches on to what initially looked like an offside pass, but the replay shows he was fine. His one-on-one effort vs. Kingson is weak, though, and we remain tied.
73' - Ghana makes their first change, with Lee Addy coming on for Sarpei.
70' - Since the addition of Feilhaber at the half, the U.S. have looked like a team possessed. Sometimes the simplest of personnel and/or formation change can have a massive impact.
66' - Man, I should have technical difficulties more often! In the 62nd minute, Dempsey is absolutely clattered in the box by Mensah, and a penalty is awarded. Donovan steps up, and puts the ball onto Kingson's left-hand post, but the ball just catches enough of the inside of the upright and goes in. All tied up 1-1!!
50' - By the way, those who watched the earlier game today will have seen a field that was cutting up badly. In contrast, this field in Rustenburg has looked superb in this match.
47' - So much for Feilhaber sitting back! He almost makes the best impact a sub can make as the U.S. make moves down the right, before Altidore finds Feilhaber on the left-hand side of the box. But, it's Kingson to the rescue again as comes out to make a superb stop and keep the score 1-0.
46' - Benny Feilhaber is on for the U.S., with Findley coming off. Expect Dempsey and Donovan to push up more as this half progresses, with Feilhaber helping out behind them.
HALF - And that's it for the first half, and what a disappointing 45 minutes it was for the U.S. There might be just a one-goal difference at the moment, but it's been all Ghana in Rustenberg. Still, we know what the U.S. is capable of when they wake up in the second half of games, so things are far from decided yet.
40' - Bradley tries a nice little deft chip over the defense that was intended for a streaking Donovan, but the ball was just a bit too far.
37' - Some awful defending by Demerit is almost punished by Ghana, but Howard shows his class to deny Asamoah. Superb save.
35' - What a golden chance for Findley! After a Ghana turnover, he's played through beautifully by Dempsey into the box, but his shot is well saved by an onrushing Kingson with his left foot. Definitely the best chance for the U.S. so far.
34' - Ghana has taken its foot off the pedal a little in the last 5-10 minutes, but the U.S. hasn't managed to take advantage.
31' - And that's it for Clark, who gave away the ball that led to the goal and then picked up a yellow card a minute late. Edu is in the game. Clark gets a half-hug and a word in his ear from coach Bob Bradley, but it likely won't make Clark feel any better.
29' - A Boateng shot from 30 yards is low and easily gathered by Howard.
26' - The U.S. is being ouclassed here. Bradley has to make an important headed interception from a cross. Nothing comes of the resulting corner.
23' - Bradley finds plenty of space on the left and whips in a low, threatening cross, but Kingson comes diving out to claim well. That could have been a very dangerous ball.
22' - Cherundolo makes a nice run down the right and earns a free kick in a dangerous spot. Donovan's cross isn't great though, and Ghana clear easily.
18' - Cherundolo gives the ball away in his own half and then clips a Ghanaian from behind. That's his second yellow of the tournament, and Cherundolo will miss the quarterfinal against Uruguay if the U.S. somehow comes back here. The resulting free kick is punched away well by Howard under little pressure.
19' - Findley shows great anticipation and almost latches on to a poor header back to Kingson, but the ball is just far enough away from Findley's path that Kingson has time to collect.
14' - Boateng, who played last year for Portsmouth in England, will be doing his bank account a lot of good here, as he isn't likely to return to newly-relegated Pompey in 2010-11.
12' - Altidore picks up a loose ball 25 yards out with some space. but his shot is scuffed well wide of Kingson's right-hand post.
11' - Ghana are knocking the ball about with ease here. As expected, this early goal has given them the confidence to push forward even more.
7' - First yellow of the game goes to Clark for a senseless tackle from behind 10 yards into the Ghana half.
5' - GOAL GHANA!! And the U.S. are down early again. A turnover by Clark in the midfield is picked up by Boateng, who surges through the middle before firing a low shot to Howard's right and into the back of the net. Another awful start for the Yanks.
5' - Dempsey lets rip from distance, but the ball is right at Kingson, who makes the easy grab.
4' - Inkoom sends a similar ball to Donovan in from the right, and the result is the same.
2' - Donovan plays a ball through the top of the six-yard box, but there's no one home.
1' - Ghana are in all red with vertical yellow stripes, while the U.S. are in all white.
2:30 pm ET - And we're under way as the vuvuzelas sound!
2:28 pm ET - The home fans will surely be cheering for Ghana in this one, as they are Africa's lone hope remaining in this tournament.
2:24 pm ET - Master of the obvious, John Harkes, is you color man on TV today, with Ian Darke doing play-by-play. The teams are out, and it's time for the anthems. As per usual, half the U.S. team -- including Donovan and Dempsey -- are not singing. TV shows a shot of former president Bill Clinton in the crowd looking OLD.
2:23 pm ET - Celebrities already reported to be in attendance include Kobe Bryant and British boxing champ Amir Khan.
2:19 pm ET - If you're expecting an offensive explosion in this game today, you might be sorely disappointed. The U.S. have yet to score a goal from the forward position, while Ghana's two goals in group play came from the penalty spot.
2:17 pm ET - For those remotely interested, my prediction for this match is a goal late in each half for the U.S. and a 2-0 victory.
2:14 pm ET - The winner of this match will face Uruguay in the quarterfinals on Friday at 10 a.m. ET, after the South Americans edged South Korea 2-1 earlier today thanks to two goals from Ajax star Luis Suarez.
2:11 pm ET - Reports from Rustenburg suggest there are a lot of England fans in the stands, as they probably expected their team to be in this game. But, the U.S. won the group, and England will face Germany tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET.
2:09 pm ET - Only change for Ghana is Samuel Inkoom starting starting at the back instead of Prince Tagoe.
2:06 pm ET - Big change for the U.S. is the return of Ricardo Clark to the starting lineup in place of Maurice Edu. Robbie Findley also returns after his one-match ban.
2:04 pm ET -- Here are your lineups and referee:
United States: 1-Tim Howard; 6-Steve Cherundolo, 15-Jay DeMerit, 12-Jonathan Bornstein, 3-Carlos Bocanegra; 10-Landon Donovan, 4-Michael Bradley, 13-Ricardo Clark, 8-Clint Dempsey; 17-Jozy Altidore, 20-Robbie Findley.
Ghana: 22-Richard Kingson; 4-John Pantsil, 8-Jonathan Mensah, 5-John Mensah, 2-Hans Sarpei; 6-Anthony Annan, 7-Samuel Inkoom, 23-Kevin-Prince Boateng, 13-Dede Ayew; 21-Kwadwo Asamoah, 3-Asamoah Gyan.
Referee: Viktor Kassai (Hungary).

When the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears met in their only previous postseason matchup, it wasnt the stakes that drew a rabid, sellout crowd to Wrigley Field.

It was the bitter rivalry between the two teams.
The only time the Packers and Bears have met in the playoffs in what is the most storied rivalry in the National Football League was on Dec. 14, 1941, one week after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the event that drew the United States into World War II.
The game, won by the Bears, attracted 43,425 fans to Wrigley Field, where the Bears played from 1921 through 1970. The next week, only 13,341 paid customers showed up when the Bears played host to the New York Giants in the NFL championship game.
The playoff game, they were hanging in the rafters, the late Ken Kavanaugh, an end for the Bears in the 1940s, said in an interview in 1996 for the book, Mudbaths & Bloodbaths: The Inside Story of the Bears-Packers Rivalry.
I think (George) Halas put some seats around the field. Green Bay was always sold out. But that was regular-season salary. The championship game was the one where wed get all the money and there was nobody there.
Such was the state of pro football at the time.
Thirty of the NFLs 55 regular-season games in 1941 had drawn 25,000 or fewer people. The Bears had drawn only five crowds ever of 40,000 or more, and they were for regular-season games against the Packers in 1937, 38, 39, 40 and 41. On the two previous occasions when the Bears played the NFL title game at home, in 1933 and 37, their gates were 26,000 and 15,878.
The Packers and Bears met for the first time in 1921, the second year of the NFL, and bad blood has coursed its way through the rivalry ever since.
Halas and Curly Lambeau, the founders and longtime coaches of the two teams, neither liked nor trusted one another. And cheap shots and trash talking have been a part of the rivalry since Tillie Voss of the Packers and Frank Hanny of the Bears were ejected for fighting in the third meeting in 1924.
They were our mortal enemies, the late Harry Jacunski, an end for the Packers from 1939-44, said of the Bears years later.
The 1941 playoff settled the Western Division championship after the Packers and Bears had finished in a tie in the standings with 10-1 records, splitting their two games. The Packers earned their share of the division title when they beat the Washington Redskins on Nov. 30 in their final regular-season game. The Bears had one more to play the next Sunday against the Chicago Cardinals to clinch their share.
Lambeau took his entire team, some 30 players, to Chicago to watch the game.
We were sitting in Comiskey Park watching the Cardinals play the Bears, and the news came over about Pearl Harbor, the late Tony Canadeo, the Packers Hall of Fame halfback, said in 1996. Everybody was saying, Pearl Harbor. Where the hell is that? We had gone down on the train, went to the game and sat up in the second deck in the end zone and watched them play.
The Bears won, 34-24, and it was a somber train ride home for the Packers. Clearly, it wasnt because they knew they would have to go back to Chicago the next week to play the Bears.
We knew we were going to war, the late Tom Greenfield, one of the Packers centers, also said in 1996.
The Bears were a powerhouse in 1941. They had annihilated the Washington Redskins, 73-0, in the 1940 NFL championship, and they had six players who would eventually be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But the Packers had stunned them, 16-14, on Nov. 2 by playing a seven-man defensive line. Whats more, they had some stars of their own: Don Hutson, Clarke Hinkle, Cecil Isbell and Canadeo.
But the playoff game was no contest.
The Packers scored first when Hugh Gallarneau of the Bears fumbled the opening kickoff, and five plays later, Hinkle crashed into the end zone from one yard out. The Bears responded by scoring 24 unanswered points in the second quarter en route to a 33-14 victory.
We absolutely destroyed them, the late Sid Luckman, the Bears Hall of Fame quarterback, said in 1996. They came up with the seven-man line (in the earlier meeting) and we didnt know how to block them. But we knew they were so successful, theyd use it again. So we just annihilated them. That game was unreal. We took the ball and just marched up and down the field, up and down the field.
While the players on both teams knew what lay ahead, the Bears seemed more emotionally ready to play football for whatever reason.
I dont think our minds were on the game, Greenfield said years later.
The next week, the Bears won the NFL title with a similarly convincing 37-9 victory over the New York Giants and each players winning share was a mere $430, due to the small turnout.
Over the next three years, 44 of the 59 players who appeared in the 41 playoff between the Bears and Packers served in the military. One, Howard Smiley Johnson, a reserve guard for the Packers, was killed in action.
The rivalry endured. Sundays game will be the 182nd counting the two postseason games.

Additional Scorers Help Compliment Pella High's Cooper
Posted By Sports On December 28, 2011 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Since dropping their first two games of the season against very strong non-conference competition, the Pella High girls basketball team has rattled off five straight victories – most recently a 61-28 throttling of Newton last Tuesday.
At least part of the recent success for the Lady Dutch can be attributed to the increased offensive production from players like Bailey Vande Weerd, Katie Sunderman, Madeline Meyer, Kim Korver and Maddy Scholten. Pella head coach Jerod Garland says the additional offense has been a great compliment to the inside prowess of forward Regan Cooper.
"Regan's been so consistent, but we've had other girls with eight, ten, even sixteen points. Bailey's had some real strong games; and Katie, Madeline, Kim and Maddy have all played well in specific games too," said Garland.
"It's been fun to see who that's going to be, and it doesn't always have to be the same person each night, but you hope to get a little consistency. I think as shooting starts to improve, hopefully you'll see more outside shooting from us too.
Cooper leads the Pella High girls with an average of 16.7 points and 14 rebounds per game, but Vande Weerd has also upped her scoring average to 8.2 points per game, while Sunderman in clicking along at 7.5 points per contest.

Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko
Anton Gorodetsky is a magician-detective from Moscow's Night Watch, an organization of light wizards and sorceresses that police the dark magicians. In spite of all the Night Watch's claims about self-sacrifice and goodness, Sergei Lukyanenko's urban fantasy takes place in a world that exists beyond the borders of good and evil. The light magicians are just as prone to illicit activities and there is a Day Watch that monitors the activities of wizards like Anton before they can go overboard in their attempts to save the world.
The Night Watch collects three short stories that together form the novel's narrative arc. In each, Anton, an underdog detective, is tasked with stopping the forces of darkness with little more than his wits and his ingenuity. Fans of urban fantasy will struggle to resist Anton's world of vampires, werewolves, and opaque magic systems, but the real strength of the series is the intrigues between the light and the dark.
However, look a little closer, and it's difficult to make out the logic that underlies Lukyanenko's world. Although Anton finds himself perpetually wondering what the difference is between the light and the dark, suggesting that this is a postmodern world in which there are no absolutes in which we can place our trust, Anton's magic is drawn from an absolute magic source that manifests itself as a pure white flame. Frustratingly, Anton comes up with any number of explanations of what it means to be a light wizard, but he never overcomes his self-doubts, making for a somewhat adolescent confusion.
However, if the world that Lukyanenko has created suffers from its fuzzy details, it also benefits from the ambiguity. The cold war between the light and the dark in Moscow is a compelling premise and Lukyanenko has a talent for creating suspense through standoffs between the rival watches. And even if the world never feels complete, The Night Watch feels complete enough to keep the reader turning pages as Anton strives to save sorceresses, outwit dark wizards, and survive his boss' intrigues and schemes.

Monday February 20, 2012Softball's Brittany Schutte and Lauren Haeger Pick up SEC Weekly Honors
Birmingham, Ala.
Birmingham, Ala.
UF Softballs Brittany Schutte (Fountain Valley, Calif.) and Lauren Haeger (Peoria, Ariz.) picked up Floridas second and third SEC Athlete of the Week honors this season, as Schutte was named the SEC Player of the Week, while Haeger picked up her inaugural SEC Freshman of the Week honor.
The accolades for the duo come after a four-game home stand for the Orange and Blue, including wins over Jacksonville Feb. 15 and a series sweep over Michigan State Feb. 17-19. Florida improved to 9-0 on the season and earned the programs 700th victory with its 11-1 win over the Spartans on Feb. 18. The Gators set season-highs for hits (14 on 2/17), walks drawn (11 on 2/19), runs scored (15 on 2/19) and runs per inning (seven in the third on 2/19) over the weekend. Florida has now scored 79 runs to opponents nine, with 74 RBI, 88 hits, 12 doubles, four triples and 11 homers, good for a .407 team batting clip. UF additionally has seven run-rule victories this season, six being five-inning wins, and five shutouts on the year.
Schutte strung together nine-consecutive hits for the Gators this past week after grounding out in her first at-bat against Jacksonville, but connecting in all of her at-bats since to lead the Gators through the past week of play with a .900 batting clip. The junior now leads the Gators this season with a .560 batting average and is currently on a five-game hit streak, having reached base in five-consecutive games through the weekend. Schutte leads UF in doubles, total bases, walks, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and ranks second in hits, runs and RBI. She contributed nine of UFs 44 runs this weekend, while the Gators limited their two opponents to just seven through four games, and hit a team-tying high two homers her first two of the season for a 1.600 slugging percentage in the last week of play.
As for Haeger, not only did the freshman lead the Gators this past weekend at the plate, but in the circle as well, picking up two of UFs four wins last week to bring her to an undefeated 3-0. Haeger drove in a team-leading seven RBI from Wednesday to Sunday, with a team-tying two home runs. She now leads the UF squad with 15 RBI on the season and three long balls. Haeger accounted for four of UFs eight runs in the Friday contest with the Spartans after being perfect at the plate with a RBI single, a sac fly and a two-run homer. In addition to her contributions against Jacksonville Wednesday and MSU Sunday at the plate, she also picked up her second and third victories in the circle, with 12 strikeouts in the two outings, including seven versus Jacksonville and five against Michigan State. Haeger allowed just four earned runs in the two decisions in 11.0 innings of work. The first-year Gator has reached base in all nine of Floridas games so far in 2012 and leads the team in multiple RBI games, with four.
Next up, the Gators will head to the Cathedral City Classic in Palm Springs, Calif., and will face Texas A&M, Washington, BYU, Texas and Boise State during its three-day stay in the desert. The California trip will provide the Gators their first match-ups against Top-25 competition as an early-season test before UF returns home to host its own tournament, the Lipton Invitational March 2-4.

All this for $0.99 (or £0.69 in the UK)
February 9th, 2013
I read not one but two pretty good pieces today on the practicalities of developing software. I'm not a software developer by any stretch of the imagination1 but I have just enough of a programmer's mindset to appreciate the amount of effort it takes to think through all the little bits and pieces that make a bit of software usable as well as functional:
- Hilton Lipschitz has made multiple posts exploring the decisions he made in designing his app TimeToCall. He covers the whole process, from his having the idea to write an app to help users arrange telephone conferences across time zones, right up to the point of polishing minor but important user interface details about translating the phrases used in the Japanese language localisation of the app without breaking his user interface.
- Mark Bernstein posted a piece describing the amount of thought that had to be put into adding a tab bar to Tinderbox. This is more focussed on a single user interface element than the Lipschitz piece: multiply the number of design considerations Bernstein describes for his one feature by the number of steps in the project Lipschitz recounts and you start to realise just how many decisions go into the making of even a comparatively simple application.
Neither article is aimed solely at programmers by any means – Lipschitz and Bernstein both explain in plain English the problems they're trying to resolve and the pros and cons of the different approaches they considered, so I think even people who've never written a line of code in their life will have no problem following either post.
One more, unrelated thing (courtesy of Hilton Lipschitz's Twitter feed). If you have access to a command line, go to it right now and type either tracert 220.127.116.11 (if you're running Windows) or traceroute 184.108.40.206 (for the rest of us.) Then watch and wait…
[Hilton Lipschitz posts via Brett Terpstra. I'm afraid I can't remember where I saw a link to Mark Bernstein's post.]
- I'm barely a programmer at all. At home, I hack together unholy combinations of shell scripts, Applescripts and Automator actions in an attempt to knock some rough edges off my workflows. At work I make life a little simpler by doing mildly complicated things with data in Excel and VBA and occasionally Access, but this isn't part of the job description. ↩

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Chase Utley hit two home runs to raise his World Series total to a record-tying five, Cliff Lee won again and the Philadelphia Phillies staved off elimination with an 8-6 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 5 on Monday night.
The Phillies hung on to close their deficit to 3-2. The Yankees scored three times in the eighth inning and put two runners on in the ninth before Derek Jeter grounded into a double play.
Utley hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the first off A.J. Burnett and added a solo shot in the seventh. Utley joined Reggie Jackson as the only players to hit five home runs in a single World Series.
Game 6 is Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, with Andy Pettitte pitching for New York against Pedro Martinez.

Christopher Bradford was hired as the new coach, pending completion of all state and district requirements. He will be paid a salary of $3,500 a year.
Bradford replaces Justin Edwards, who resigned last month for personal reasons after two years at the helm. The board officially accepted Edward's resignation, effective Aug. 29.
Board member Mark Ditzler, chairman of the athletics committee, said it was a little bit unusual to hire a new coach so soon after the previous coach resigned. But he said it was necessary since Edwards resigned so close to the beginning of the season.
"Typically, this would be done much earlier, but due to the circumstances, it condensed the schedule a little bit," he said.
Superintendent Steven Houser said there were four applicants for the position, and the committee charged with hiring the new coach interviewed two finalists.
Also Thursday, the board appointed Bryan McWatters to the position of secondary-school guidance counselor at a salary of $51,592.
Michelle Graby was appointed to the restructured position of technology-integration specialist at an annual salary of $32,561.
The board accepted the retirement request of Cleona Elementary School building secretary Wanda Shoemaker effective June 30, 2014. Shoemaker has been at Cleona for more than 30 years.
The board also accepted the resignation request of secondary-school custodian John Clay, effective Sept. 9, and terminated the employment of secondary-school custodian Steven Mumma, effective Sept. 19.
In other business, the board approved a contract for the yearbook with Balfour Publishing for the school years 2014-15 through 2016-17, with two possible one-year extensions. There is no cost to the district for the contract. The cost is covered through fundraising, book sales, advertising and commission from school picture day.

Hello all! I finally finished first year med school and now have the time to actually sew together a few dresses that I've cut out and pinned and fitted. However, in the process of moving between apartments, my regular presser foot ended up lost.
I've gone ahead and called Brother and they're sending me a new one, but it's not going to arrive for a while, so I was wondering, can I use one of my other presser feet to do the seams? I've a zipper foot, narrow hem foot and a blind hem foot, or should I be patient and take up knitting while the presser foot arrives?
You could use that zipper foot and probably the blind hem foot if you wanted. What kind of machine is it?:) Hope you foot gets here soon!
