Walleye cement place in Toledo communityWritten by Matt 'Shaggy' Culbreath | | firstname.lastname@example.com
We're a week away from the start of the Toledo Walleye regular season, and two weeks away from the puck dropping at the Huntington Center. That means crowds Downtown, the sound of skates on ice, and the Boyer Horn sounding when the team puts one past the goalie, all to the sounds of that "T-Town Hockey" song.
I've had an interesting relationship with the team. Well, this iteration of the team. I'd made it to my fair share of games at the old Toledo Sports Arena, but I was completely understanding about the need to get a new barn for the team. When the new team was announced, though, I wasn't totally sold on the new image. Blue and gold? Toothless cartoon fish? To be brutally honest, I liked the Toledo Bullfrogs' (the unfortunately short-lived and never-fielded arena football team) name and colors more than those given to the hockey team.
I was convinced that the new owners, the Mud Hens, were so focused on being family friendly that they would lose sight of what we know as Toledo hockey. I told myself that I'd go to the games, but I probably wouldn't become a fan of the Walleye.
But ever since attending the opener in 2009, I've fallen for the team. Partly because it's hard for me to not enjoy a hockey game. But slowly, the organization started to "get" hockey. Yes, they still operate a family-friendly operation, and do it well. My kid is constantly asking to go to games, and we make it probably two or three times a season. But the team is not sacrificing its history to make that happen. The "real fish" third jersey is a thing of beauty, and provides a jersey an adult can wear without feeling embarrassed. Merch with "Hit Somebody!" shows a semiofficial acceptance of the old-school fanbase.
And I'm not the only one, either. While the team has had community support from the get-go, it's actually grown through the years as people discover what a night at the Huntington Center is: fun, inexpensive and a source of hometown pride.
Most Toledoans couldn't tell you who's on the roster, or the team's record, but they can tell you about enjoying a heck of a game and getting a picture with Spike.
For the hardcore hockey fans, you do get to put early eyeballs on players that could be on their way up. Being affiliated with both the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks certainly helps: both programs have won Stanley Cups thanks to strong farm systems , which means getting bodies on the ice that have NHL potential.
Next year will mark the five-year anniversary of the program, but already the team has cemented its place as a hallmark of the community. After an attendance drop-off in the team's second year, the numbers have steadily improved, averaging 6,298 a game in the 2012-13 season. But the Huntington Center holds more than 7,000, so there's still room for improvement.
That means there's room for you and your family to fall in love with the team. Trust me on that — it's inevitable.

As readers of this column know, I split my time between two households. My husband is in Aiken with our four dogs. I live with my daughter Jayme and her two dogs here. So during the week, I spend time with six dogs.
My daughter has two labs. One is a 97-pound chocolate lab named Reese and the other is the newly acquired black lab puppy Daisy Mae.
In the past four months, Daisy has gone from six pounds to 40 pounds.
What is it about dogs that every one of them has such a distinct personality?
Reese and Daisy love their mom. They do the dance of joy when Jayme comes through the door.
They love their dad Justin too but working varying shifts, he doesnt get to spend as much time with them as he would like.
But Grandma, as Jayme refers to me, they love to torture.
They steal my stuff. And I do mean steal.
Every time I turn around they have another item in their mouths running away from me with it and passing it back and forth between them.
Lately they have stolen various clothing items, shoes, slippers (oh, how they love my slippers), and my phones blue tooth device.
Just this past week one morning while I was getting ready, Reese went prancing by with my high-heel in his mouth. Shortly after I retrieved that, he ran by with my blue tooth earpiece in his mouth.
I was not too happy about that considering he chewed up my last $100 earpiece a month ago and I had to replace it.
While getting that from him, Daisy came by dragging my daughters tennis racket.
Apparently she and Reese were headed out for a tennis game while he wore my high heels and talked on my phone.
But despite their aggravating ways, I love them both dearly.
I think Reese was a little lonely before Daisy came to stay. He loves her and I love watching them play.
Is there anything more joyful than watching two dogs at play?
My favorite downtime activity in Aiken is watching my four dogs interact.
Harry, the Coon dog, who was terribly abused before he came to live with us, finally has a safe home.
He loves my husband almost desperately. Hes the only one big enough to handle Harry.
Jeff decided recently to build them what we refer to as doggy condos for those days a sudden rainstorm comes up and were not home to let them inside.
He spent weekend after weekend building the four houses just right. He insulated them. He gave them liftable roofs. There is a room within a room so they can be protected from driving rain.
The only one smart enough to use them is Harry.
When it cools off at night, Harry heads to his warm house with his warm pillow in it. We have to go get Harry from the house to bring him in for the night. He sleepily stretches and saunters inside.
Our other three dogs dont seem to know what to make of the houses and want nothing to do with them.
I worry terribly about my 15-year old cocker spaniel, Toby. But he isnt smart enough to go in the house to get out of the elements.
Toby is my heart. He follows me everywhere. We have Toby-time every chance we get where I talk intently to him while staring into his eyes. We both love it.
But he is aging rapidly. His back legs shake now at times.
He is deaf and blind and falls in the pool quite often. Weve fished him out on many a cold night and used the blow dryer to dry him off.
He can swim out but I worry about the day he cant.
Hes so blind that recently when unpacking from a trip he tripped on my suitcase and fell inside it multiple times.
My husband and I couldnt help but laugh after he did it over and over.
I love my dogs. All six of them.
I know each of you has some stories youd like to share about your pets.
Whether youre a cat person, a dog person, a horse person, or all of the above, wed love to hear them.
Drop me an email at email@example.com with your stories and a photo of your pet, if you want to share one.
Who knows, it may make it into a story or a future column.
Because I know my fellow pet lovers are out there in droves.
Wed love to hear from some of you if you have a special story to tell.
In the meantime, Ill be the one in Best Buy buying the new earpiece when Reese chews up this one. I think Ill put it on Justins credit card.

Dan Harmon Returns to Community! Creator Teases What's to Come in Season 5 — Exclusive
After Community creator Dan Harmon's dramatic departure from the show ahead of Season 4, we thought we'd never see him again. Thankfully, the mastermind is back and better than ever for Season 5, recently inking a deal with NBC for his big return.
What should we expect from the Greendale Gang this year? "A lot of racism," Dan joked, but in all seriousness noted that he has not yet seen Season 4 (which he played no part in), and plans for a "fresh recallibration" for this year.
Check out the video to see what else he had to say to Wetpaint and Celebified at the ATX Television Festival, and then hit the comments with your thoughts.

After an analysis of national data, covering the period from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2012, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) awarded Trident Medical Center its highest possible rating of 3 stars, a score earned by only 15 percent of all eligible hospitals.
The STS score is calculated using a combination of 11 measures of quality. The composite score is a single number or rating that summarizes all available information about the quality of care delivered by a hospital.
"The STS results are based on clinical outcomes and place Trident Medical Center in the top 15 percent of hospitals in the country with heart surgery programs," said James Benner, MD of Palmetto Cardiothoracic Associates, and the medical director of the Trident Health Cardiovascular Surgery program.
"The STS Database is the oldest and most established registry measuring quality in healthcare, more established than any other database that evaluates quality in other branches of medicine," said Allison Walters, RN, Cardiovascular Service Line Administrator for Trident Health. "Patients needing heart surgery should ask their surgeon and the hospital if they participate in the STS database and what their results are."
"The rating reflected in the STS data is the result of a team effort," said James Benner, MD. "Everyone involved in patient care – the cardiovascular team in the OR, the intensive care unit and other nursing units, the cardiac catheterization lab, respiratory therapy, the Trident medical staff, the blood bank – all are part of the team that provides quality outcomes.
"It truly reflects the excellent work and commitment to our patients at Trident Medical Center."

Death toll from storm hitting Europe rises to 13By GREGORY KATZ
The Associated Press | October 29,2013AP PHOTO
Engineers look at the damage as a crane working on redevelopment at the Cabinet Office in Whitehall, near to Downing Street in London, was brought down by high winds, Monday.LONDON The death toll from a severe storm that ripped across Britain and onto mainland Europe has risen to 13, with the U.K. and Germany hit the hardest.
A major storm with hurricane-force gusts lashed southern Britain, the Netherlands, France and Germany on Monday, knocking down trees, flooding low areas and causing travel chaos. Seven deaths were reported.
Weather forecasters say it was one of the worst storms to hit Britain in years. Gusts of 99 miles per hour were reported on the Isle of Wight in southern England, while gusts up to 80 mph hit the U.K. mainland.
UK Power Networks officials said up to 270,000 homes were without power. Flood alerts were issued for many parts of southern England and emergency officials said hundreds of trees were knocked down by gusts.
Londons Heathrow Airport, Europes busiest, cancelled at least 130 flights and express trains between central London and Gatwick and Stansted airports were suspended. Huge waves prompted the major English port of Dover to close, cutting off ferry services to France.
A nuclear power station in Kent, southern England, automatically shut its two reactors after storm debris reduced its incoming power supply. Officials at the Dungeness B plant said the reactors had shut down safely and would be brought back online once power was restored.
In central London, a huge building crane near the prime ministers office crumpled in the gusts.
Thousands of homes in northwestern France also lost electricity, while in the Netherlands several rail lines shut down, airport delays were reported. Dutch citizens were warned against riding their bicycles a favored form of transport because of the high winds, and Amsterdams central railway station was shut down by storm damage.
Some English rail lines also closed Monday morning, and some roads were closed due to fallen trees and power lines. There were severe delays on many parts of the London Underground and London Overground trains were delayed several hours.
In Britain, police said a 17-year-old girl in Kent and a man in his 50s in Watford were killed after trees fell on her home and his car. A London man died in an apparent gas explosion at his home and a teenage boy drowned Sunday while playing in the surf at Newhaven.
Amsterdam police said a woman was killed by a falling tree and German authorities said two others were killed when a tree fell on their car in Gelsenkirchen, western Germany.
A stretch of the A71 autobahn in the central German state of Thuringia was closed because of winds gusting up to 62 mph.
The storm has hurricane-force gusts but is not classified as a hurricane since it did not form over warm expanses of open ocean like the hurricanes that batter the Caribbean and the eastern United States, according to Britains national weather service, the Met Office.
Britain does not get hurricanes because hurricanes are warm latitude storms that draw their energy from seas far warmer than the North Atlantic, the agency said.
The storm is not named and does not have an eye at its center as hurricanes typically do. On social networks it has been called stormageddon.
Swedens Meteorological Institute upgraded its advisory Monday, warning that a class 3 storm that could pose great danger to the public as it hits western and southern Sweden in the evening.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks.

Working with Gary Moore from Mountain Sky Properties has been fantastic. Gary is very knowledgeable and responsive to every request or question that we have had. He helped us to find the perfect home for our large family within our budget. I would highly recommend Gary Moore as a realtor to anyone looking to buy a new home. Our experience with Gary could not have been any better!
Mountain Sky Properties has a very knowledgeable group of realtors who both sell and help clients buy properties. They are a great group who work hard to find the right property for buyers. They have sold 2 properties for my wife and I, and are now working on a third. Highly Recommended.
did not like experience. never got back with us on house that needed repair but were excited to buy. if agent cannot call back even is she has negative response to give, I do not want to deal with this company. I wanted to know about this house that needed repair and she was going to check and get back with us
I was extremely impressed with Mountain Sky Properties. Joey Dykes exceeded my expectations in every way. I relied on Internet reviews to choose Joey and Mountain Sky properties to sell a home in Rocky Gap. Since I live in Florida, I had to do the entire transaction long distance. Joey immediately took control of the situation and gave me peace- of -mind that everything was being handled properly. He managed to sell the home in a short period of time and tended to details with great care. He was very courteous and instilled a high level of trust. He has an extensive knowledge of the local area. He returned all emails and phone calls immediately and handled difficult situations with a great attitude. I would highly recommend Joey Dykes and Mountain Sky Properties.
After experiencing 2 other realtors in our area of SW VA, my husband and I contacted Toni to represent the sale of our home with small acreage. I am convinced we would still have our property for sale today if not for Toni and her team player. Communication, dedication, showings, & professional work ethic always exceeded our expectation and therefore met the goal of the sale of our property. Toni does what she says and gets the job done!!!! THANK YOU TONI !!!! We will now be able to enjoy retirement without the worries of an unsold property. Best wishes for a new and prosperous year. Chuck & Kathy Bowen
We appreciate the help that Toni provides us with marketing our River Meadows development on the New River. Her professionalism and attention with follow-up details is of great value. We look forward to our continued business relationship with her.
With the housing market down in the muck, Toni McSwain met with us & brought very useful information such as area taxes, 8 listings of homes comparable to ours, etc. she put the listing out there on Tuesday & sold our house that Saturday. 7 days start to finish! Toni's enthusiasm & positive attitude were key in that fast turn around!
Toni McSwain was our realator for our Mom's home at 426 Sheep Grove Rd, Fries, VA, 24330. She is the most energetic person I have ever met, she worked tirelessly and our home was sold in a couple of months. There were other comparable homes in the same area that had been on the market for many months. Toni helped with reputable contractors to help with repairs the buyers requested. She is professional, replied to any questions in seconds, knowledgable, and relentless in her pursuit to handle anything that needed to be done. I would recommend her above all others to anyone who has a home they wanted moved quickly.
From the first phone call Toni McSwain went above and beyond to help me find exactly what i was looking for. She was always there to help and more than willing and flexible when plans changed. Always there to greet you with a kind word and a smile Miss Toni has my vote for best realitor ever!!

Athenaeum Location
Elizabeth Birch served the Human Rights Campaign- the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy organization- as its executive director from January 1995 until January 2003. Under her leadership, the institution more than quadrupled its membership to 500,000 and its annual budget grew to more than $20 million. During her tenure, Birch built the organization from grassroots into the modern corporate model with an outstanding senior management team and 100-person staff. As the most prominent voice for LGBT persons, Birch regularly lobbied elected-leaders, made countless media appearances, and was on the front lines of the battle to ensure equality for all Americans, solidifying her position as a bona fide civil rights pioneer. Birch previously served as worldwide director of litigation for Apple Computer Inc. In addition, she has helped various Fortune 500 companies develop and implement non-discrimination and domestic partner benefits policies.
The evening with Elizabeth Birch is sponsored by the CMC Dean of Students with support from the James Irvine Foundation, the Queer Resource Center of the Claremont Colleges, and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum. Everyone is cordially invited to this event.
On the eve of the release of the film, the Athenaeum will host a panel of Biblical and religious studies scholars. While this panel will not serve as a review of the film, its members will discuss the texts used to bring this story to the silver screen. The panelists will examine how the source texts are used and interpreted and the effects they have today in interfaith relations. They will also discuss the historical accuracy of the texts and examine the origin of the gospels and their use in the early church.
This expert panel is comprised of scholars from a variety of backgrounds who use different methods of interpretation. Claremont McKenna College participants in the discussion include Gary Gilbert, assistant professor of philosophy and religious studies; Steve Davis, Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy; Robert Faggen, professor of literature; and John Roth, Edward J. Sexton Professor of Philosophy. The panel also includes Michael Berenbaum, adjunct professor of theology at the University of Judaism, Los Angeles, and Jeff Siker, professor of theological studies, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles.
Since the end of the Cold War, the Western alliance of democracies, to which Japan belonged, has been replaced by various "coalitions of the willing," depending on the issues at stake. This is not a very stable international system. Furthermore, the West, which served as a political concept during the Cold War, has once again become a civilizational concept, to which Japan does not belong. What are the values and interests to be shared by Japan and the U.S. in order to build a new partnership? The future of the Japan-U.S. relationship will be shaped by the answer.
Takakazu Kuriyama studied law at the University of Tokyo, passed the Foreign Service examination in 1953, and entered the Japanese Foreign Service the following year.

After serving in various posts at home and overseas, he became Ambassador to Malaysia (1985-87), Deputy Foreign Minister (I987-89), Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs (1989-91), and Ambassador to the U.S. (1992-95). Ambassador Kuriyama retired from the Foreign Service in 1996 and currently holds the title of Advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Recently he has taught at Waseda University (1997-2002) and the International Christian University (1999-2002) as visiting professor.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is honored to host Ambassador Kuriyama's visit to CMC as a Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor.

Dembski's talk at the Athenaeum, second in a three-part series on intelligent design sponsored by the Salvatori Center, will critique the idea that natural selection, the key mechanism of theories of Darwinian evolution, acts as all information ratchet that gradually accumulates the information that organisms need to acquire novel adaptations. He maintains that this gives natural selection too much credit, and that it is unequipped to handle the innovative problems that biological systems have solved in the course of natural history.

Griffin PowerJolt dual USB charger for iPhone - accessory review
The Griffin PowerJolt dual USB charger solves an age old problem: you and your significant other have both depleted the batteries on your iPhone and yet your car only offers one charging socket. Who gets to use it? Or worse: you're in the middle of that big family summer trip and not only have both parents worn down their iPhones, all the kids in the back are near empty on their iPod touches as well. Do you get your internet or do they get the movies that keep them quiet and you sane for the remainder of the trip?
While I can't claim the Griffin PowerJolt dual USB charger will save relationships and family trips, this simple adapter will at least hold power hungry creatures at bay for twice as long. Read on to find out how!
The Griffin PowerJolt dual USB charger is different from the PowerJolt Plus I looked at last time, which let you pass through a second car adapter. The PowerJolt Dual is much simpler in a way -- an adapter for the power socket in your car capped by two USB plugs. Just plug in the USB to Dock cable that came with your iPhone or iPod touch and you're off and charging.
In my tests with both an iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS there didn't seem to be any appreciable loss of charging power due to the shared connection. Both iPhones got to 80% quickly and then topped off to 100% in about as long as it takes with the single chargers I've used in the past. (And I'm typically listening to music, using Google Maps, powering videos for the little ones in the back seats, or otherwise working while I charge.)
This is just an adapter, so there's no mount, no built in cable, and nothing else fancy in any way. Since it is simply USB in, you can also use it to charge your non-Apple gear as well, including other phones, devices, headsets, etc. That flexibility really comes in handy for family trips.
If you have more devices than you have charging ports definitely take a look at the Griffin PowerJolt dual USB charger, available from the TiPb iPhone Accessory Store.
- Compact
- Largely invisible when not in use
- Doubles charging ability of power socket
- Only the adapter: bring your own cables
- Doesn't charge iPad

Griffin PowerJolt dual USB charger for iPhone - accessory review
Wow. Finally. A review with no stumbling words. Thank you!!!! It was so nice to watch and listen to this review. Clearly spoken. That's how it is done.
I like the review, but I do have one question which maybe it size subtly gives away. I'm pretty careful of where I charge my iPhone for fear of irregularities in power. So i wonder if the device has a some form of voltage regulator.
Also while it would have been nice to see it installed in a vehicle, I think it would be almost pointless, with all the different make's models and trims of cars; it wouldn't give you a better idea of just how small it is than seeing it in a hand.
Georgia, will you be coming to my house to plug it in for me? If so, I'll take 845 of them, please...
Wow, TiPb really messed up on that product rating by giving it four stars because
1. it's expensive
2. it does not charge an iPad
Here's a link to one for $4.90 (I bought two) that can charge an iPad on one of the ports http://www.bestofferbuy.com/2a-mini-dual-usb-car-charger-for-ipadiphone-...
Dude I just read ur link after posting mine and that's the exact same one I bought but in white... I paid $0.01 cents for it on online auction and I was beyond satisfied... Minus the 18 day wait... But like I said b4 for a penny... Im not gonna complain
This really could be handy on long car trips with your family. My truck has 2 plugs in the front and 2 in the back seat so its not really for me but its nice to have options. For those of you complaining about the price look at it as a way to keep the lights on and servers running at tipb. I boughtan ipod touch case from them and a couple of different cases for my Droid X from the Android Central store. They were a little more expensive but I like to support the SPE sites that give me alot of great content.
I was so close to buy this 3 days ago but I was looking for one to buy that can charge my iPad 2 and iPhone.... So instead I bought this RIDICULOUSLY SMALL WHITE off brand one... It's from china but I only had to pay (and I kid you not) 0.01 cent for it... Free shipping!!! Down side was It did take about 18 days to arrive due to customs... But for a penny!?!?!I wasn't gonna complain... Just got it 2 days ago and fell in love wilth it cuz it does have a 2.1A USB for the iPad 2 and a 1A USB for the iPhone 4 or any USB charging device.... So sick!!! =]
Thanks for the review. I know that the design implies it, but many similar products to this one cannot charge two devices simultaneously why each device is in use.
For instance, if I'm on a call on iPhone 4 (A) and using GPS on the second iPhone 4 (B), power may be supplied but the phones may not be charged while in use.
I'm reading reviews on Amazon two of many similar products that can't do this.
Can you confirm this at all?
Holy shallow depth of field, Batman!

Sitting at work and becoming frightened. I had severe HELLP at 33w5d and delivered my beautiful son. I spent 3 days in ICU and was released to regular wing for the preemie mamas for 3 or 4 days after that.
Fast forward to today and I am 23w3d and becoming scared. I fear losing my life and not being able to enjoy my son or having some type of serious trauma. I feel like I made a foolish decision, and then I feel like I jinxed my new baby.
Coping with these fears is becoming harder and harder.
I need advice and words of wisdom.

Town weighs upgrades to Killington RoadBy Josh OGorman
STAFF WRITER | June 14,2013KILLINGTON Improvements to mass transit and better year-round property maintenance were two of the ideas generated during a public forum on the future of Killington Road.
Earlier this year, the town received a $15,000 planning grant from the state Department of Economic, Housing and Community Development.
This is a discussion about whats appropriate for the future of Killington Road for the next 25 years, Town Planner Richard Horner said to the two-dozen or so members of the public attending Wednesday nights meeting of the Planning Commission.
The town has retained the services of LandWorks, a landscape architecture company from Middlebury, to develop a plan.
David Raphael, principal and landscape architect for LandWorks, led a brainstorming session, asking the public to think about what works and doesnt work on Killington Road.
The most important thing is for Killington Road to succeed as both a corridor and as a destination, Raphael said, referring to the importance of having a road that both connects Route 4 to Killington Resort and also promotes the vitality of the shops and restaurants along the way.
Raphael had the audience break up into three groups, which considered questions of what works well on Killington Road, what doesnt work well, what town can do and also what the private land and business owners can do to make things better.
The brainstorming session consumed the better part of an hour, with residents batting ideas back and forth and commiserating over heavy weekend traffic. But in the end, the ideas generated by the different groups were stunningly similar.
Its amazing, the synchronicity between groups one, two and three, Raphael said.
There was a general agreement that there should be designated stops for the buses transporting guests and workers up and down Killington Road. Currently, the bus picks up and drops off wherever people request it
Raphael noted his time in Park City, Utah, during the 2002 Winter Olympics, when people huddled by the side of the road as they waited for buses, and suggested that construction of bus shelters along Killington Road might increase ridership.
Another common issue was the appearance of business signs up and down the road.
There was discussion of a need for a consistent look from beginning to end, Raphael said.
Horner noted the importance of businesses maintaining their properties such as keeping the grass cut during the summer months when many Killington Road shops are shuttered for the season.
Sometimes it looks like youre not only closed, but abandoned, Horner said.
LandWorks will take the public comments and use them as it drafts a plan to present to the town Planning Commission, which per the terms of the grant has until June 2014 to put a plan in place.

Global Management
Globalization is a megaforce that has fundamentally changed how we live, work, and manage organizations and institutions. The popular phrase "The World is Flat" evokes an economic landscape where globalization, information technology, and advances in life sciences are fundamentally increasing the pace and competitive intensity of business and society. The world is inextricably linked in terms of opportunities (e.g., trade, outsourcing, innovation) and risks (e.g., environment, poverty, health)—and how we address these issues will shape our future and your career.
Global management issues are integrated throughout the curriculum. The elective courses listed in the column to the right are recommended for students interested in global management.
Students interested in Global Management should combine their interest in global management with one or more functional areas of interest to ensure both depth of knowledge in global issues and at least one functional area from which the student will learn and grow as a global manager.
Elective courses in each area of interest are offered every year. It is possible that a specific course may not be offered in a given year and that previous courses will be replaced by new courses. Current and recent course schedules are available at http://www.willamette.edu/mba/for_students/full_time/course_schedules/index.html
Recommended Elective Courses
Students may select courses from the list and from other areas of interest to build a customized individual program that meets their specific goals.

Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - Ryan Nassib threw a pair of touchdown passes and Syracuse rolled to a 40-10 win over Connecticut Friday, spoiling the return of Paul Pasqualoni to the Carrier Dome.
Nassib ended 14-of-20 for 251 yards and Ross Krautman kicked four field goals. Alec Lemon caught eight passes for 166 yards and a TD as the Orange rolled up 502 yards of offense.
Jerome Smith rushed for 133 yards for the Orange (3-4, 2-1 Big East), who snapped a five-game skid against UConn. Prince-Tyson Gulley and Adonis Ameen- Moore rushed for a score.
Chandler Whitmer connected on 23-of-41 passes for 296 yards with a TD and an interception for the Huskies (3-5, 0-3), who lost their third straight contest. UConn netted minus-6 yards rushing, while giving up 251 yards.
The all-time winningest coach in Big East Conference league play and the current head coach at UConn, Pasqualoni was at the helm of the Orange from 1991-2004. He was fired despite compiling a 107-59-1 mark and four Big East titles at Syracuse.
Krautman kicked field goals of 22 and 33 yards in the first quarter before Chad Christen countered with a 23-yard boot with 65 seconds left in the same period.
Early in the second quarter, Whitmer was hit hard on consecutive plays and lost the ball on both occasions. The first time a fumble call was overturned on replay to an incomplete pass, but then Durell Eskridge surged up the middle on a blitz and the Orange came up with the turnover.
That led to Ameen-Moore's 1-yard TD plunge up the middle with 8 1/2 minutes left in the half for a 13-3 difference.
Whitmer hit a wide open Ryan Griffin down the left sideline on a 32-yard touchdown connection, but Nassib countered by finding tight end Beckett Wales for a 3-yard scoring toss with 1:19 to go before the break.
The Orange needed only five plays to open the scoring in the second half. Nassib found Lemon for 68 yards, and Gulley went into the end zone on the next play from four yards out for a 27-10 advantage.
Krautman kicked a 42-yard field goal midway through the third and Nassib connected with Lemon on an 11-yard pass over the middle for another TD with two minutes remaining in the same quarter.
Krautman split the uprights from 47 yards in the early stages of the final stanza.

Youth orchestra plans holiday concertsWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
In November, Yang Kun Song led the Greater Toledo International Youth Orchestra (GTiYO) in an inaugural concert.
The show at the Westgate Chapel, 2500 Wilford Drive, consisted of 45 teenagers from Northwest Ohio, southeast Michigan, eastern Indiana and an exchange student from Spain. The members range from grade six to 12.
"The best way for me to give back to the community is to help others, so I start[ed] this orchestra with no charge; I never charge anything … we're a nonprofit organization right now," Song said.
GTiYO was founded by Song, a native of Beijing, China, who studied at the Beijing Conservatory of Music in 1976. He later became assistant principal cellist of the Beijing Symphony Orchestra, according to a news release.
In 1988, Song came to Toledo, studying at the University of Toledo and graduating cum laude in 1993. He now maintains a private studio in the area for student instruction of all string instruments. He is a music educator for Toledo Public Schools.
"It started when I wanted to teach my daughter traditional Chinese music," Song said in the release. "Other children in the neighborhood asked if they could play also and of course I said yes."
Just as his daughter was taught the music of her heritage, GTiYO represents more than 20 nationalities either directly or through immigrant ancestors, making up a diverse group coming together through music.
GTiYO will make two appearances at the 13abc "Hope for the Holidays" toy drive, first at noon and then at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 6 at 13abc's studio, 4247 Dorr St. Other performances include a Christmas concert at 4 p.m. Dec. 22 at Westgate Chapel and a Dec. 28 charity event at the Toledo Museum of Art Peristyle, 2445 Monroe St., Orchestra Manager David Asselin said in an email.
Each year, GTiYO holds auditions for new members. Song said anyone interested can contact him at any time directly at (419) 704-0068.

You can choose to be however. Honestly, making friends in a game isn't that hard. It just takes some typing. Now, granted, it would be more awesome with some sort of intelligent voice chat interface (that overcame the obvious problems), but still, you can type and make friends with people you are running around with.

"One day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure it''s worth watching."
TBH, I think it's just an extension of what they were already doing in GW1.
GW1 is basically fully instanced CORPG, No kill stealing because each person/group had their own version of the world.
GW1 had loot assigned to players with no need/greed function. Could openly trade items if not customized, but kill a creature and an item would have your name on it so no one else in your group could pick it up unless you dropped it on the ground.
These two things transplanted into a similar version of themselves for a persistent world. Seems like this encourages team play amongst the player base rather than individual competiveness between each involved party.

I think plenty of other games have added elements of this idea, but GW2 is the only one I am aware of that made it part of the Design Philosophy of the game and it shows through in multiple aspects.
That may come from other developers not being quite as forthcoming with information as Anet however. Its hard to be sure.

2. I think because this was a Pay to play beta (PrePerchase only) & no sub fee people may have been on a bit better behavior, I mean who the hell wants to get banned before the game goes live lol. Remember there is no sub fee in GW2 so people may be in the mindset , "Hey arenanet" isn't really making any extra dough after i purchase the game" . People may feel arenanet has a itchy trigger finger when it comes to perma bans.

As for "GW2 is a well-designed game" - well yes it's an opinion but it is a much more debatable one than "I like it" or "I think it's crap" don't you agree?
As I said I can give a whole list of reasons for why I am convinced that GW2 is a well-designed game. I can also provide my reasoning on why I believe that no game has combined or implemented gameplay features to encourage "friendly gameplay" in the way GW2 has.
You may disagree. That's fine. If you want to discuss it you should expect to be asked for your reasons or counter-arguments especially in a thread about it on a forum. If you don't want to discuss it why are you even posting?

I have the game preordered but haven't actually played yet so I won't claim to know anything. I'm interested in how social the game will seem to me because I like the idea of groups just assembling on their own for DE's and stuff but I've seen a number of folks comment on various threads that they ended up in groups but no one talked or anything. So it sort of sounds social without socializing. I'm not allways Mr Chatter but I do like a bit of chat in groups, I'm interested to see how it plays out when I get in game.

How? Playing Coop and being social are two seperate things. GW2 is proving that. From what I gather GW2 is as sociable as going to the shops. We are all there Coop shopping, if I want to be sociable I can be. However, anyone rarely speaks.
Hows that making MMO's more sociable?

Well I've seen some of the "nice gw2 players" in this forum become extremely venomous and nasty in other game forums.. such as SWTOR...
So guys when you say GW2 is going to have an awesome community.... be aware that your community already has a bad element.. you don't see everyone's character when things are going well.
As the other guy said... if you guys really believe whats in this thread I would not bet in Vegas....

This is it pretty much,sums up lots of thing,what happened to MMOs and and is part of the answer to the ultimate question.
its an illusion and it goes like this.
1.There was a time when people were social,looking for partys they searched people by talking,maybe someone had good attitude ,nice weapon,nice name etc.
2.some devs got an idea, f*ck that ,they made lfg tool,no more talking and walking.
3.next devs said .F*ck that tool,automatic groups = social.
now theres more people around but they are not people, just same like lots of companions on SWTOR.

I'm sure certain GW2 Servers and possibly locales will develop reputations similar to Servers and locations in WoW and SWTOR just because of the number of people playing and the percentage of the community that are those WoW and SWTOR players.
At least the game itself has been designed to minimize griefing and competitive mechanics in PvE to a great degree and I expect ANet to monitor their game and community for further ways to improve things if they can.
I do know I'd much rather play a game that encourages others to Revive me than the opposite.

In GW2 I found it a lot easier to socialize. Why? Because there is no NEED to group to do content, just find some people doing what you are doing and take it from there. It is up to the player to actually start a conversation and be sociable, that's not up to the game, I've played in instances and there was no "social" communication, just a few orders from the leader and that's it, group, do, forget. In GW2 you can stay with those people longer, doing much more content with them, progression your whole character together with others.
Insta-grouping allows people to play in a group without being forced to, it is certainly up to the players themselves to start a meaningful conversation that's beyond just "tactics".
Also, Guilds have so much potential in GW2

1. the person won't respond back if you did show your pissyness as them.
Why won't he respond? because In GW2 nobody chats. Why does nobody chat? Because there is no need to cordinate with others! Why? its that because the DE's and heart quests are too easy.
I personally would rather have people getting mad and yelling at each other then nobody talking at all. I don't know about you but one of my favorite parts in mmo's is making new friends during the journey to the top. In GW2 I don't really see the need too.
I challenge you guys to come forth and say how many people you met in GW2 and talked with and became friends with? or just chatted with someone that you don't know. (End of BWE events don't count)

To answer your question though, UO, DAoC, AC, AO, EQ, Shadowbane, SWG, FFIX, Saga of Ryzom, and CoX off the top of my head. Pretty much most, if not all, games that came out before WoW.

Don't compare all DEs with group content in other MMORPGs, there are the harder DEs you can easily compare them to.

Everything mentioned in your second paragraph can be done in most other MMO's if your sociable. I agree it's upto the player to be sociable not the developers. So why does ANET state they are making a more social MMO? They are not. They are making a more Cooperative MMO, but not social.
IMO what ANET is doing with automatic grouping is a step backwards in encouraging gamers to be sociable. They have made it even easier than using a dungeon/group/raid finder to group up.
It's not ANET's fault its how MMO's have to go as most gamers don't like to be sociable. GW2 is going in the same direction, catering for the anti-social solo'er.

I am more than some of my parts
I think that Anet definately tried to create a friendly atmosphere, but I also worry that we're going to see alot of "WoW runs sooooo much better on my system, this game is poorly optimized" or "TERA's combat is superior to this, I'm only here because my buddy plays, QQ" or "doesn't this game have any puzzles that you have to use google to figure out?"
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.

GW2 socialist.
I'm not surprised at the grumbling in this thread, but unfortunately the people doing it don't quite understand something incredibly simple...... the people on these forums that don't like GW2 or its fans probably aren't going to be playing, thus - why would people not get along, especially for some stupid reasons I've seen here like "if you don't say GW2 is the best game ever"?
Seriously... if you are the type who complains about the "hype" or the "bad community" or the concept that "It's just Rifts with a different name", then you'll be playing something else, you won't be trolling the community unless you like spending $60 just to be an idiot. There won't be these stupid forum arguments about how so and so game is better, people will be playing the game, not arguing. The forum PvP will stay here. As much as it pisses some of you off, people will be having fun for once. Get over it and stop equating the GW2 community in-game with forumers you've had arguments with. The same type of crap won't be happening there.

Students need to be aware of how credit/debit cards work
As students become more responsible for paying their own bills, they need to be aware of the types of cards available, according to Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority.
Debit cards are tied to a bank account. When someone uses a debit card, the money is automatically deducted from the account. Most colleges issue a type of debit card to students that can be used to buy books, supplies and meals. In that case, the card is not tied to a bank account but is preloaded with funds deposited each semester or quarter.
When a debit card has been lost or stolen, report it to the bank or credit union immediately to limit losses from unauthorized use.
Credit cards offer what is essentially an interest-free loan if the balance is paid in full each month. Students who use credit cards should pay them off at the end of each pay period when possible to avoid paying interest fees. Most credit cards also offer cash advance services at a higher interest rate.
Lost or stolen credit cards should also be reported immediately. However, there is a $50 limit to the consumer's liability on fraudulent charges with stolen credit cards.
ATM cards allow users to withdraw cash from their accounts when the bank or credit union is closed. Most banks and credit unions charge a fee when ATM cards are used at a machine not owned by that institution's network, and those fees can add up. Students should not use an ATM card outside their network unless absolutely necessary.
KHEAA is a public, nonprofit agency established in 1966 to improve students' access to college. It provides information about financial aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents.

Car wouldn't start today. Raining cats and dogs. And I have 8 meetings today at work so I won't be here much. Grr...
I am ticked off today because my physiotherapist moved his practice to the town where he actually lives. Okay, not so much ticked off as disappointed. I'll miss his hands. Damn. Maybe I'll have to track him down at some point and go see him there!
I am ticked off today because my sister's cat Meisha just came back last night. That's a good thing, but she was limping, so my sister brought her in to check her out. Either she had been hit by a car or caught in a trap, but her right front leg was almost cut off...it was crushed too bad for it to be fixed. My foster mom took the cat to the vet today and they said there were two options: amputate the leg or put her to sleep. She chose to put her to sleep and then my sister had to bury the cat alone today while I was at school. Meisha was more of my cat than my sister's, but I wasn't really allowed to see her once she was brought in. No good-byes for me. My cat, Noodle, finally came back tonight. He isn't doing too good, either. I put a flea and tick collar on him, but I just found out he's allergic to them. His neck is rubbed raw and there are sores on it, but the collar wasn't tight at all. I took it off and I hope it heals really soon because it's painful for him. Poor animals!
So, while I'm trying to attempt to put my mailbox back up this morning after one of my lovely rental dwelling neighbors purposely knocked it down....I watch a black SUV swerve across the street to try to run over my dog...his back tire actually hit my dog.
The driver didn't notice me standing there, and didn't even stop to see if the dog was hurt.
I am so sick of the college kids in this neighborhood.
I absolutely cannot understand what the thrill is in destroying another person's property or trying to kill someone's pet.
Today, I am sorely disappointed in the college age population in my community.
- Is Pearly-Girl okay??? Poor little thing. :-(
The only thing I can say is that there is a special place in Hell reserved for people who make an effort to take out someone's pet with their car.
When I was eleven, I watched an asshat neighbor hit my nine-month-old puppy (who was by the curb and not out in the middle of the street). Although he wasn't trying to hit her, he never stopped to see if she was okay. That's what made him an asshat: the conspicuous absence of compassion, concern, and sense of responsibility. And I will never forget that. I was a mess for quite some time afterwards.
Report your neighbor to the cops! They won't be able to do anything, but at least you'll have gone on record. Let them know you're more than willing to take them to court if they attempt again to take out Pearl. Hell hath no fury like a petowner whose animal has been threatened by someone else.
As for Noodle, get the liquid flea meds that you put on their shoulderblades. They're more expensive than flea collars but most cats don't have allergies to them. You can buy them online for much cheaper than a vet's office. I recommend Revolution, as it kills both fleas and ear mites, and buying it at
The meds will be shipped to you from either Germany or Australia, so it takes a little while longer to receive them....a week or so, depending on where you live. It's the exact same product as the stuff that is marketed in the U.S. No more flea collar allergies, no more raw skin, much more comfortable (and protected) Noodle-cat.
He'll be okay. Again, I'm sorry about your Meisha.
Cruelty to animals really ticks me off.Damn they are family!

In an interview about his candidacy last week, Loosier said the decision to run for city council came from a desire to serve the people who have supported him and his business for years.
He is vying to become the council member to represent the city's District 3, opposing incumbent Terrell Fulford.
Loosier said he has always been interested in helping the community but because of his business location, that outreach has mostly been in Macon.
"I feel like I'm at a time in my life that I want to give back and serve the community where I live," the candidate said.
Loosier said he enjoys living in Gray and is convinced the bedroom community has a lot of potential. He said many people want to live in a small town and enjoy that lifestyle but also want the convenience of a larger city. He feels like Gray can offer that.

The 1,800-square-foot farm, run free of chemicals, focused on growing produce for use by its primary client—the restaurant downstairs—and to study the feasibility of a for-profit, pop-up farm-restaurant relationship in an urban rooftop setting.
During the garden's two-year run, from the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2011, we had lots of interaction and feedback from the restaurant and various other collaborators, and we both became acquainted with the challenges of this unique practice for landscape design and urban agriculture. We also learned a lot about how to build a rooftop garden for other businesses who might be interested in a similar venture for expansion, education, and public relations.

Possibly, how much could I make for an appearance?
....I'm holding out for the best offer NOT to go pantless...
BTW, it's still happening. At least it is in my universe. I bought me ticket and I'm taking me chances. I plan to wear pants... for the most part, and I am not bringing my fire arms... just so you know. I'm a little pizzed off at Obama for not taking guns away from normal people and giving them to the gays... That being said, I'm willing to put my political beliefs aside just for the sake of hobnobbing with people with good literary taste, that is to say, people who enjoy reading Stephen King, no matter their ideology.

"Unique in the world:Rebuilt on remains dating back to the medieval knights of the Order of Malta"Xavier Mathieu, Maître de Maison, presents his property:
Located between Roussillon and Gordes, Le Phébus is a dry-stone-walled farmhouse where the rooms overlook the tranquil water of their private swimming pools. Built on remains dating back to the medieval knights of the Order of Malta, this is a jewel of a hotel and the perfect place to take shelter when the mistral wind is blowing across the prairie of southern France. Its location makes it the ideal base from which to explore the Luberon, and the Carita Spa is the perfect place to relax. In the restaurant, the traditional cuisine breathes new life into ancient Provencal recipes and offers a superb "soupe au pistou", a regional vegetable soup with garlic and basil.

I mentioned of my plans to knit for others the month of July. After I read about nest on Sarah's blog, and then again on Amanda's, I knew I wanted to participate. To help others stay warm. So I decided to just try to knit as much as I could, until the end of the month. And I decided since I have both of these patterns memorized, this would be the easiest thing for me to tote around. I also owe some people some gifts, so some will go to them.
I searched my stash, and this is what I found. Lorna's laces, Classic Elite, Renaissance and Cascade 220 superwash. One skein of the Renaissance made one pair. One skein of the Cascade made two pairs. And I only made one pair out of the Lorna's Laces, but I do believe that I have enough to make one more pair.
Almost finished ten. Almost.
This pattern is one that is a combination of a couple of different patterns. So, not my own. Hopefully sometime soon I will be able to combine my thoughts so that you can make a pair if you want. They are super easy. And quick.
And these are the Evangeline. My all time favorite. I added one pattern repeat to the instructions for the short pair.
