My wife and I have a couple of CDs of photos from our wedding and are looking for a reasonably priced photo lab in Chicago to touch them up and create prints. Any recommendations or places to avoid?

My fiancée and I have scheduled a trip to Maui this February and we are looking to be married while we are there. We are hoping if we provide a few details about what we would like, someone will be able to personally recommend someone.

Here are the details:

- Private ceremony for the two adults, plus 7-year old son

- Scenic background for photos, preferably a cliff or waterfall (but close to beach for some beach shots, too!)

- Floral leis (2 adult, 1 child)

- Assistance obtaining a marriage license

- Officiant to perform ceremony – spiritual, but non-denominational

- Photographer for 1-1.5 hours, and photos provided on CD

That’s really it – very simple, short, and sweet – but scenic, private and plenty of nice pictures. Some resorts are charging $1000 without pictures - for basically a pair of floral leis and a ten minute ceremony. We know there are much more reasonable options. Can anyone help?

It will be a private ceremony without guests. Just looking for some place secluded and private to exchange vows and make it official. Any ideas?

I KNOW I can get a better bike if I jump to a higher range, but I am not looking for top performance here. I just need something casual for around town and want a good recommendation for something inexpensive.

Please do not respond and tell me I need to spend more if I want a "good" bike. That kind of advice will not help me as I am not looking for premium craftsmanship and components. Just trying to discern my BEST option given the money I am willing to spend.

Does anyone have a decent brand they can recommend within my range? Thanks!

Haven't bought a bike in years and need a recommendation. Thinking of something in the mountain bike family. Visually cool, 26", multi-speed of course. Hoping to spend $100-$175 or so max. Any thoughts or recommendations??

Thanks!

I see it all over the internet. I have a feed already:

How do I promote this feed on my blog with that little icon/symbol so people know they can click it and import my content?

I'm thinking of getting into some yoga and there are plenty of places to do it. Any recommendations for something in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area? I'm also looking to make this a couples experience with my girlfriend - so something that appeals to both men and women is preferable. Thanks!

Who dat say dey gonna beat da bears?

DA BEARS!

We don't like Comcast - their service isn't very good and their bundled packages for phone/internet/cable cost a fortune! We've been considering a dish so we can dump Comcast but want to be sure it will be worth it. Does anyone have any experience moving from cable to dish? Are they comparable? Is the price reasonable?

I have been doing some research online to fly from Chicago to Austin over New Years and most of the prices are about the same. With the exception of United, that is, which for some reason is hundreds of dollars more. Does anyone know of a good place to find the best deals on airfare? Are there any, or are all of the prices going to be about the same (~ $300/round trip)

Thanks!

Isn't it the best? The way the stench clings to the mist and just hangs there for minutes so you can savor it. Sometimes it's hard for me to get out.

I'm guessing it's not "Oh God."

This country needs a no-nonsense karate master in charge. One with a thick, red beard. If we all write his name in for the next presidential election, maybe he'll agree to take the job. That would kick @$$!

There's so much going on in the world I just don't understand!

Someone help me make sense of it all...

And it takes 2 months to wash all the windows.

I thought that was pretty cool.

I'm thinking of throwing it a week from tomorrow. Watch for your evite.

They're not releasing Season 2 on DVD until October 3rd - but I need to be all caught up by the time Season 3 starts! How the heck am I supposed to get all caught up before Season 3 starts? I haven't seen a single episode of Season 2. They have to be available somewhere...somehow. Please help!

I watched all of season one on DVD and want to watch season two now but they are not out on DVD yet. Can I get them on-demand or somewhere else?
