Who is Toledo's most hated sports figure?Written by Matt Sussman | | email@example.com
When former Cleveland Cavaliers cornerstone player LeBron James hoisted himself on a pedestal of his own hubris and announced he would graciously play for the Miami Heat — leaving behind a trail of sadness and burned jerseys — the state of Ohio, you could say, hated him.
Sports hate, when practiced perfectly, is a myopic dislike of a sports figure, but not the person. We don't know these people; we just observe their handiwork on TV or in large stadiums.
I hate the Minnesota Twins. Why? Because somehow, some way, they always ruin the Detroit Tigers' season. Personally, I don't hate the Twins baseball players. They did nothing to me. I'm walking along the Maumee River, and suddenly I spot Twins MVP catcher Joe Mauer drowning, I probably try to save his life. Then when he's on dry land, I tell him, "Now do me a favor: Demand a trade out of the division."
Recently, the state of Michigan was rightfully vexed over the decision by ABC/ESPN to have former Detroit Lions president Matt Millen serve as the color commentator for the TV broadcast of the UM-MSU game. On the surface, I didn't see a problem with this. Of all his talents, talking about football is actually one of them. But this was unacceptable for several devoted Lions souls. How could he thoughtfully analyze this anticipated rivalry game when he thought Marty Mornhinweg could lead the Lions to the Super Bowl?
As I was thinking about this, it hit me. Championships and great moments can unite sports fans of a city, but perhaps even more municipally binding is the hatred of a sports figure. All of Detroit stands in solidarity against Matt Millen. They may not agree on much, but at least they know a bad football president when they see one. And much like Millen, Cleveland has joined together in their hatred for LeBron.
Which brings us to Northwest Ohio. Who do we hate? The occasional athlete or broadcaster might take the occasional catty swipe at our region, but there isn't that one pervasive figure who all Toledoans can point to and say, yeah, he's our enemy.
Perhaps the figures involved in the UT point-shaving scandal are hated. Certainly the gamblers who allegedly masterminded the scheme are personae non grata in Toledo, but they're mere criminals. As for the former athletes awaiting trial, are they really hated? Or did they just make young and dumb decisions?
What about former Toledo basketball coach Gene Cross? He woefully derailed the rebuilding of Rockets basketball, but his tenure was so brief and without comical folly that few of us had much of a chance to feel any emotion for the man. (Imagine Matt Millen lasting only two years for the Lions. He'd be but another notch on the franchise's futility belt.)
Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz is a possibility. You might remember his line on ESPN a few years ago, regarding interstate football rivalries: "Only twice have states gone to war with one another. One of them was Ohio and Michigan, where they had a boundary dispute over Toledo. That history doesn't record who won the war, but we have to assume Michigan did, because nobody would fight to keep Toledo." This is a great candidate because Holtz is a northeast Ohio native
Nick Saban and Gary Pinkel are former Toledo coaches who spurned their home to take better jobs, but there hasn't been much animosity toward Pinkel. Saban, however … there are plenty of other reasons to root against Saban and his current Alabama team. BGSU fans, however, might have their own reasons to pull against former coach Urban Meyer. Even though he revived that program in 2001, he left town for another job soon thereafter, mere weeks after telling the local media that he had unfinished business at BG.
I'm really struggling to find viable candidates for Toledo's Most Hated Sports Figure. Send yours to firstname.lastname@example.com and make your case. We'll figure this out together.

I've been reading about the home invasion case that occurred in Cheshire, Connecticut on July 23, 2007. This deeply disturbing act of brutal violence is one of the worst criminal outrages in the history of that state.
Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky robbed, raped and murdered Jennifer Hawke-Petit, age 48, Hayley Petit, age 17, and Michaela Petit, age 11 in their home. The husband and father, Doctor William Petit, escaped with severe injuries and will live with the memory of these events for the rest of his life. Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky were caught, found guilty, and are awaiting execution.
Everyone wants these men sentenced to worst punishment imaginable. But is that really execution?
Most religious theists claim the soul survives the death of the body. The courts openly profess the same belief, having issued the death sentences with the words, "May God have mercy on your soul."
But I don't believe in God, souls, or supernatural punishment. I accept the medical science which shows consciousness ends with the destruction of the brain.
Steven Hayes once said, "Death for me will be a welcome relief..."
Joshua Komisarjevsky has said, "I will never find peace within."
The reality of the death penalty in this case seems rather stark. Each of these reprehensible criminals gets a quick, painless exit from a lifetime of punishment in a merciful fulfilment of his own wishes.
Or do you see it differently? Is death by lethal injection the worst punishment you can imagine? How does execution compare with life without parole in solitary confinement? What is the atheistic perspective?
Views: 662
Personally, if I had the choice of being caged for the rest of my life (or even a substantial amount of the rest of my life), I would choose death. But I guess it really depends on what the person thinks. This has nothing to do with being an atheist. Some xians would much rather die than be tortured or tormented for the rest of their lives. Some fight to live as long as possible. There is no "atheist viewpoint" on anything like this. It really depends on the individual.
As an outsider to the circumstances, my views are rather, I guess you would say "liberal", but realistic. I believe that out judicial system focuses far too much on punishment and not nearly enough on rehabilitation. The problem with focusing on punishment is that it costs far, far, far more than rehabilitation. Just look at all the repeat offenders and it becomes extremely obvious. It is a sad society that is so animalistic, short sighted, and narrow minded that prefers raw punishment over helping people get to the core of their problems and become useful, productive members of society. On the other hand, when someone proves themselves to be unwilling to accept rehabilitation, what's the point in keeping them in a cell for the rest of their lives? If Hayes would prefer to not live with his decisions, who are we to force him to continue to live? Why are we spending millions of dollars keeping people alive when everyone involved would prefer they die? I really don't understand the mentality. We all live and we all die. Why should anyone be denied the right to choose the timing of their own death?
By the way, do you have any idea what "atheism" is? It is simply the disbelief in fairy tales. There is no "atheistic perspective" when it comes to anything other than the belief in some supernatural nonsense.
I'm not into torture or barbaric practises like capital punishment I prefer to be humane , I'd like to think we're evoloving from an eye for an eye and choosing whom lives and dies, (isn't that what many religions practise barbaric rituals and punishments for their moral code of what is wrong and right good or evil) , In my humble opinion I have no more right to take ANYONES life than they have to take mine regardless of the crime don't we then become the murderer or offender or as barbaric?
The bottom line for me is simple we can and we DO and we HAVE got it wrong when sentencing one to death regardless of how it is done innocent people many have later been proven innocent (after their death) and to me 1 single wrongful accusation and penalty of death will never be worth 1000 so called right ones. I hear the argument but we know for sure he saw it , she witnessed it etc... , that was common even before DNA testing and the like which is also not infallable btw... Eye witness accounts he said she said, witness motive etc... these are all not infallable therefore capital punishment has no place in my opinion in an 'uncertain and variable and prodominently perceptive ' world...
I think the most humane position is lock em up if you're as sure as you can be and the law has said you are guilty (after a trial of course) , Okay they may lose some valuable years but if in fact they are innocent and some have been, like all of us if it were us we'd want the opportunity to prove that innocense .
I agree with Keith Pinster in that I would choose death over life without parole and that such a choice depends on the individual as opposed to one being atheist. Although death is "the end", it's a quicker punishment. I'd rather deal with that then being locked up in a population full of killers, rapists and other violent criminals who are gonna attempt to kick your ass, rape and/or kill you every day for the rest of your life. So I definitely believe life without parole is worse.
I think people who commit violent crimes should have to rot in prison for years and years in solitude. They should not get to be on TV documentaries about prison either. No one should even speak to them ever again.
Without being too judgmental, I have to say that this kind of mentality is what creates a "punishment" system vs a "rehabilitation" system. It is what creates offenders who actively repeat crimes once released, so they can get back into the "comfort" of their known environment because going into prison at 18 or 20 and spending 30 years there and then being kicked back into society is a shock that most of these people are incapable of dealing with. Either than or it just reinforces the animalistic side of their nature.
Don't get me wrong, I completely understand the sentiment. Even though it is incredibly inhumane to just throw someone in a hole and forget about them, most people are completely comfortable with this. They "justify" it by claiming that "they did such and such wrong, so they should be punished." And these people would be right. But I think it's very telling that our society is more than happy to just throw people in holes and forget about them, all the while feeling self-assured that they are "nice people" because they give homeless people a dollar once a month.
Sorry, I guess I'm just less of a vengeful and self-righteous person than most people in the "civilized" world.
@ Keith Pinster
Me thinks you're starting to scratch the answer to the problem, I've come to think of it as the societal self-delusional condition.
We as a society view the result (the crime) and immediately launch into the punishment, revenge, rehabilitation debate without seriously considering society's role in the cause.
@Gregg So we are comfortable issuing punishment, but abdicate the responsibility of cause. Interesting point.
Add to that, the purpose of punishment is to correct aberrant behaviour. It seems odd, to "correct" someone until they die. What is the point of correction in that instance. If as a society, we are looking for "revenge", then we should be open about it and apply torture. Cotton-wrapping the "revenge" into a mock correctional system seems to me to be an exercise in self-deceit.
@ Strega,
What is the reason behind violence against others?
Why have we designed and maintained a welfare system that continues propagate itself?
Why does our school system rank so low in the first world?
The cause of violent crime starts a long time before the crime itself.
If we as a society are not willing to be critical of our own systems, our systemic problems will continue to worsen,
c'est la vie
@ Gregg I am with you all the way on this :)
@Blaine - "To have critical thinking using logic and reason, you must remove god from the system." - Can I get a hallelujah? :)
People who commit these types of crimes IMO are not redeemable people. I don't think that about everyone who goes to jail deserves this kind of punishment, even for murder, this was a senseless brutal triple murder. Sometimes, for example if someone is trying to kill you first and you end up killing them instead, that would be a redeemable person because they really would not have any intention of ever killing again.
I hate to point this out to you but you are comparing Murder to Self-defense, two very different things. Not a good analogy at all, sorry.

Is a Junction-Table basically just the table that sits between two entities that have a M-M relationship?
A junction table is a weak entity, but a weak entity may be a junction table. A junction table is not the same as a weak entity. A junction table is a type of weak entity.
Tables used to resolve repeating groups are also weak entities. These are only junction tables if the repeating group contains a repeated foreign key relationship.
Yes it is. See Wikipedia
Would it still be considered a "Weak" Entity if the junction table declares its columns with FK constraints and has a composite primary key of those columns? (In other words every row is required to be a valid reference from one table to the other and all such mappings are unique within the junction table).
Depends how you define a "junction table". ER terminology tends to be somewhat ambiguous when used to describe relational database concepts.
A junction table typically means or can mean any table with two or more foreign keys.
A weak entity on the other hand is represented by a table whose primary key includes at least one foreign key attribute. That doesn't have to be the case for a junction table (i.e. a table with more than one foreign key).

The heart does a lot for the body, so why not take some time to take care of it? The American Heart Association shares seven easy ways to improve your heart health. Make these simple tips part of your everyday routine and you'll be on your way to a heart-healthy life.
1) Get Active
Exercising is a great way to get in shape and keep your body and heart at its best. "Lowering your risk of heart disease isn't the only advantage exercise offers," says cardiologist Dr. Don Alexander, medical director for Palmetto Health Heart Hospital's Cardiac Rehabilitation Department. "Adding just a little exercise to your daily routine reduces the risk of high blood pressure, osteoporosis, certain cancers, depression, anxiety and stress. It can enhance your overall wellbeing."
Here are a few easy ways make exercise part of your daily routine.
Join Palmetto Health's free walking program to receive a pedometer and incentives for reaching goals. To register, visit HealthyPalmetto.org or call 803-296-2273.
2) Quit Smoking
Both smoking and frequent exposure to tobacco smoke not only increases your risk for heart disease and stroke, but also puts you at risk for a number of other health-related problems. If you smoke, your risk of heart attack is more than twice that of nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking also is the biggest risk factor for sudden cardiac death.
Need help dropping the bad habit? Take part in Palmetto Health's free smoking cessation class. For more information, call 803-296-2273.
3) Eat Better
Making healthier food choices can help you look and feel better, maintain a healthy weight, lower your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, and lower your chances of developing certain diseases, like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
Changing your diet won't happen overnight. Start by limiting your sugar and salt intake, aim for smaller meal portions, watch your daily calories, avoid highly processed foods, and add more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to your diet.
4) Lose Weight
Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight is an important part of sustaining good overall health. Excess weight puts you at an increased risk of developing serious health problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, breathing problems, and certain cancers. Your physician can help develop a safe, effective weight control plan using a combination of diet and exercise appropriate for your height, age and body structure.
Mary Sheehy, Adult Nurse Practitioner with HealthWorks at Palmetto Health, says, "Don't forget to count the calories you drink! Sweet tea and other sugared drinks, such as soda are called 'empty calories'. This is because they have little or no nutritional value. It is very easy to drink hundreds of calories a day.
Drink more water which has no calories and is necessary for life." Ava Dean with Healthy Palmetto adds, "Losing weight needs to be a lifestyle change, not just a moment. Your focus should be on what you need to do to live a healthier life versus what you can and can't have to eat. Choose healthier foods like fruits and vegetables and clean out your pantry so that chips and cookies are not staring you in the face. Change your mindset and keep moving forward."
If you or a loved one is considering bariatric surgery, attend one of Palmetto Health's bariatric seminars. For more information, call 803-806-3553.
5) Reduce Blood Sugar
Having high blood sugar can eventually lead to diabetes as well as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and circulation problems. That is why it's important to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. If your fasting blood sugar is 100 – 125 mg/dL, you are said to have pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes means you are at higher risk for developing heart disease and diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in the country and currently affects over 27 million Americans. This means that millions of Americans are at risk of having strokes, heart attacks, dementia, and premature death because of a disease that could have been prevented.
Palmetto Health offers free pre-diabetes classes that will provide an overview on nutrition, physical activity, ways to prevent diabetes and additional resources. For more information, call 803-296-2273.
6) Manage Blood Pressure
High blood pressure increases the heart's workload, causing the heart to enlarge and weaken over time. The risk of a heart attack increases if you have high blood pressure and other risk factors such as obesity, smoking, high blood cholesterol or diabetes.
Set the goal of maintaining a blood pressure level lower than 140 over 90. Lower blood pressure is advised if you have known heart, vascular or kidney disease. Once blood pressure is under control, regular evaluations are recommended every three to six months.
7) Control Cholesterol
As blood cholesterol levels increase, so does your risk of coronary heart disease. Pair this with high blood pressure or smoking, and your risk increases much more. Some people, for genetic reasons, are at a higher risk for arterial disease due to their cholesterol. To find out what's best for you, have your cholesterol checked and talk about the results with your doctor. Cholesterol can be managed through diet, exercise and/or medication.

Buzz Marketing for Movies
Iris Mohr
Price: $6.93
In today's dynamic entertainment environment, movies are struggling to stay afloat and remain profitable. Challenges such as piracy, digital theft, competition, overlapping movie campaigns, media fragmentation, and audience saturation are forcing marketers to stretch their film budgets and make every dollar as effective as possible. With more and more entertainment options crowding peoples' lives, marketers must search for innovative ways to reach movie audiences. By breaking through the daily clutter and noise, and capturing peoples' attention to the point that talking about a movie becomes an enjoyable experience to share, buzz marketing is one such promotional posture that drives audiences to theaters. In order to achieve success with buzz marketing, however, marketers must recognize the role it plays in the context of movie differentiation strategies to support the company's overall approach. Analyzes buzz marketing as it pertains to six movie differentiation strategies (differentiation with cosmetic movie features, differentiation to reach market segments, growing a movie segment, positioning to support the movie image, positioning to extend the movie image, and differentiation via non-traditional channels) and offers steps for its successful implementation.
Learning objective:
To examine and better understand buzz marketing as a marketing tactic for the promotion of motion pictures. By providing six movie differentiation strategies, to aid in practicing and implementing buzz marketing to gain potential audience attention.

Call Numbers
Have you ever wondered how library books are assigned their places on the shelves? Did you know that the call number--the number placed on the spine of the book--is a code which provides valuable information about the book? This page is an introduction to understanding and using library call numbers.
What are call numbers for? Each book in the library has a unique call number. A call number is like an address: it tells us where the book is located in the library. Call numbers appear:
IMAGE: CallNo1
Note that the same call number can be written from top-to-bottom, or left-to-right.
The Kent State University Stark Campus Library, like many academic libraries in the United States, uses Library of Congress Classification for call numbers. This system uses a combination of letters and numbers to arrange materials by subjects.
Reading Call Numbers:
IMAGE: Call Number
To understand how call numbers are put in order in Library of Congress Classification, again look at each section of the call number:
IMAGE: Call Number
What does the call number mean?
Remember that Library of Congress Classification arranges materials by subjects. The first sections of the call number represent the subject of the book. The letter-and-decimal section of the call number often represents the author's last name. And, as you recall, the last section of a call number is often the date of publication. example:
IMAGE: Call Number
Why is this important to know?
Because books are classified by subject, you can often find several helpful books on the same shelf, or nearby. For example, within the same call number LB2395, there are other guides for college study:

Since Library of Congress Classification arranges materials by subjects, knowing the letter(s) for your subject area gives you a place to start browsing the shelves.
Which letters represent your subject? View the Library of Congress Classification Table.

- 95% Polyester, 5% spandex
- Imported

Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by sbrya28 SUPER SEXY LIL BLACK DRESS! I am in love with this dress! It has the right touch of class for a little black dress along with a sexy edge. I purchased this in a size 8; normally I wear size 6. However the bottom portion of the dress was too small around my hips, so I went up a size. The dress fits great except at the neck where it is now a bit big, so I had alterations done and it fits just right. I love the subtle sheen of the fabric as well. It is a bit short so if you're not too shy I'd say go for it. Great cocktail hour or night on the town dress with some red pumps and duster earrings! February 18, 2014

Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, lying in the northeastern quadrant of the island of Ireland, on the western continental periphery often characterized as Atlantic Europe. Northern Ireland is sometimes referred to as Ulster, although it includes only six of the nine counties which made up that historic Irish province.
In proximity to Scotland and to sea channels leading to England and Wales, Northern Ireland has long witnessed generations of newcomers and emigrants, including Celts from continental Europe and Vikings, Normans, and Anglo-Saxons. In the 17th century, the period of the so-called Ulster plantation, thousands of Scottish Presbyterians were forcibly resettled and English military garrisons built, arrivals that would institutionalize the ethnic, religious, and political differences that eventually resulted in violent conflict.
Since the 1920s, when Northern Ireland was officially separated from Ireland, it has been tormented by sectarian violence. Notwithstanding the peacemaking efforts that began in earnest in the mid 1990s, Northern Ireland is still best navigated by those who are skilled in the shibboleths and cultural codes that demarcate its peoples, governing which football (soccer) team to cheer for, which whiskey to drink, and which song to sing. The complexity of these political markers is captured in the graffito once scrawled on Belfast walls that read "If you are not confused you don't understand the situation." But, more recently, Northern Ireland's political fortunes have changed for the better, and with that change has come a flourishing of the arts, so that increasingly outsiders associate the country not with violent politics but with the poems of Seamus Heaney, the music of Van Morrison, and other contributions to world culture.
The capital is Belfast, a modern city whose historic centre was badly damaged by aerial bombardment during World War II. Once renowned for its shipyards—the Titanic was built there—Belfast has lost much of its industrial base. The city—as with Northern Ireland's other chief cities Londonderry (known locally and historically as Derry) and Armagh—is graced with parks and tidy residential neighbourhoods. More handsome still is the Northern Irish countryside—green, fertile, and laced with rivers and lakes, all of which have found lyrical expression in the nation's folk and artistic traditions.
Northern Ireland occupies about one-sixth of the island of Ireland and is separated on the east from Scotland, another part of the United Kingdom, by the narrow North Channel, which is at one point only 13 miles (21 km) wide. The Irish Sea separates Northern Ireland from England and Wales on the east and southeast, respectively, and the Atlantic Ocean lies to the north. The southern and western borders are with the republic of Ireland.
Northern Ireland can be thought of topographically as a saucer centred on Lough (lake) Neagh, the upturned rim of which forms the highlands. Five of the six historic counties—Antrim, Down, Armagh, Tyrone, and Londonderry—meet at the lake, and each has a highland region on the saucer's rim. To the north and east the mountains of Antrim (physiographically a plateau) tilt upward toward the coast. They reach an elevation of 1,817 feet (554 metres) at Trostan, with the plateau terminating in an impressive cliff coastline of basalts and chalk that is broken by a series of the glaciated valleys known as glens, which face Scotland and are rather isolated from the rest of Northern Ireland. The rounded landscape of drumlins—smooth, elongated mounds left by the melting ice of the final Pleistocene glaciation—in the southeast is punctuated by Slieve Croob, which rises to 1,745 feet (532 metres), and culminates in the Mourne Mountains, which reach an elevation of 2,789 feet (850 metres) at Slieve Donard (Northern Ireland's highest point) within 2 miles (3 km) of the sea. This impressive landscape of granite peaks is bounded by Carlingford Lough to the south.
The scenery to the south of Lough Neagh is gentler, but the land rises to 1,886 feet (575 metres) in Slieve Gullion near the border with Ireland. West of Lough Neagh the land rises gently to the more rounded Sperrin Mountains; Sawel, at 2,224 feet (678 metres), is the highest of several hills over 2,000 feet (610 metres). The far southwest, the historic County Fermanagh, is focused geographically on the basin of Lough Erne, in a drumlin-strewn area ringed by hills more than 1,000 feet (300 metres) high.
Much of the landscape of Northern Ireland is gentle, and in most low-lying areas it is covered with swarms of drumlins that have played havoc with the local drainage and are interspersed with marshy hollows. Glaciation also gave the land its main valleys: those of the River Bann (which drains Lough Neagh to the Atlantic Ocean) in the north, the River Blackwater in the southwest, and the River Lagan in the east. All these valleys have been important routeways, but none have been more important than the Lagan, penetrating from Belfast Lough to the very heart of Ulster.
Soils are varied. Although much glacially transported material covers the areas below 700 feet (215 metres) in elevation, the nature of the soil is predominantly influenced by the underlying parent rock. Brown earth soils, forming arable loams, are extensive and are derived from the ancient Silurian rocks of the southeast—some 420 million years old—and from the more recent basalts of the northeast. There are peaty gleys and podzols in the Sperrins, and the impeded drainage of much of the southwest gives rise to acidic brown soil. Peat soils are common, particularly in the hollows lying between the drumlins, and hill peat is widespread throughout Northern Ireland. Although it is of no great commercial value, peat traditionally has been a source of fuel for the peasant farmer and is still cut extensively.
Northern Ireland's climate is temperate and maritime; most of its weather comes from the southwest in a series of low-pressure systems bringing the rain and clouds that often lend character to the landscape. Because Northern Ireland is near the central track of such lows, it often experiences high winds. In the north and on the east coast, particularly, severe westerly gales are common. Above the 800-foot (245-metre) level, distorted trees and windbreaks testify to the severity of the weather. Annual rainfall decreases from west to east, although the hills accentuate the amount to some 80 inches (2,000 mm) in parts of the west, and there is as little as 32.5 inches (825 mm) at Lough Neagh and the extreme southeast. A relatively dry spring gives way to a wet summer and a wetter winter. Daily conditions generally are highly changeable, but there are no extremes of heat and cold. The region is exposed to the ameliorating effects of the North Atlantic Current, a northeastward extension of the Gulf Stream. Average January temperatures vary from 38 °F (3.3 °C) on the north coast to 35 °F (1.7 °C) in the east; in July temperatures of 65 °F (18.3 °C) are common. In late spring and early summer the east has slightly lower temperatures accompanied by coastal fog. These mild and humid climatic conditions have, in sum, made Northern Ireland a green country in all seasons.

Latest from all the library blogs.
Thousands of books are published every year, and of those, some are judged to be better than the rest in one category or another.
Learn how we made our giant Mockingjay wall pin, and how you can make one too!
Have you heard of the Pickle Principle? At JCPL, the Pickle Principle has become a daily way of making sure that everybody who visits us "gets the pickle!"
The Pickle Principle was hatched by Bob Farrell, an entrepreneur who personally received a letter from a disgruntled customer whose waitress wanted to charge him for an extra slice of pickle on his hamburger.
Tuesday morning as East Coast residents woke to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the pleas were already being made for blood donations, funds donations, and other ways for those of us who can to help our fellow Americans.

With only two weeks to go before the general election on Nov. 6, most voters are already secure in their picks for the main races. But the races at the state and community level may still hold some questions for local voters.
Moby Dick is one of those books you might have been required to read in high school or college, and afterward you scrape yourself off the deck, count yourself lucky to have survived, and like its narrator, Ishmael, you attempt to move on.
I love one stop shopping. It saves time and energy.
To be able to shop in a department store where I can find grocery items as well as household and other things I need is pretty handy indeed.
In some one stop shopping centers you can even sit down and eat or get a meal-deal to go.
This week the library owes a great deal of thanks to a group of volunteers who count for us in very special ways.
Every year the library selects a week to conduct a count of our usage, using this "typical week" as a sort of survey for what our average usage is all year long.

Is there really such thing as a lucky charm? The hero of Nicholas Sparks's new novel believes he's found one in the form of a photograph of a smiling woman he's never met, but who he comes to believe holds the key to his destiny. The chain of events that leads to him possessing the photograph and finding the woman pictured in it is the stuff of love stories only a master such as Sparks can write.
©2008 Nicholas Sparks; (P)2008 Hachette Audio
Why does N/S always get the narrator who immitates female voices? I could not make it through for first page of this one. I love N/S books - NOT his audio books thouhg
"The Lucky One"
It had a little of everything, drama, love, sorrow. It keeps you going. Captures your inner sense of caring.
I'm a 31 year old momma to two amazing young men, wife to the greatest guy on earth, a multiple sclerosis survivor and school bus driver!
"Very enjoyable!!!!"
I really enjoyed this book! The ending was fantastic and suspensful. Not as predictable as some of Sparks novels! I would recomend!
"For real"
I never get tired of this author's books. Even though they are always about finding and or loosing love he indivualizes every story. Also the men and women in his storys seem to be real people. You don't have to be envious after listening to his storys. Your husband or wife could actualy live up to the stamdards the author sets in his characters.
"Great read"
I loved Logan. What a great hero. This was a great romance, with real characters and it kept me wanting more all the way through
The Narrator did well. His female voices took a little getting use to, but overall he did really well.
"Great Listen!"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Every aspect of it..including the narrator. Nice job all around.
"Wonderful story filled with love & surprise"
Started a little slow the first chapter or two, but once it got going, I could turn it off! Kept me hanging on til the end...the ending was a total surprise!
"the lucky one"
I usually enjoy Nicolas Sparks books, this particular story was very drawn out, and easily should have been a short story, to long for a novel
This book was predictable the entire time, very anti-climactic, and the ending was all too convenient. I wasn't bored but I wasn't very entertained either. The narrator had a nice-sounding, deep country voice but it didn't work for either of the women or the child at all. Overall, not impressed by this book.
I thought the story was very weak, simple and predictable. I wasn't engaged with the characters at any point of the book, I felt as if the story was very shallow and that Nicholas Sparks and any five year old could come up with the same story. I believe this is a best seller only because of Nicholas Sparks other hits.
Maybe, but this performance was terrible, I thought the female voices wouldn't matter but it definitely did.
None, I would have added more
I hope the movie is better

I recently went to a wedding of one of my boyfriends old friends. It was quite religious with an opening prayer, lots of references to what the bible says about marriage, songs that were religious, more prayers and all that nonsense.
My boyfriend, who is an atheist, mentioned that he would want that for his wedding because "it's tradition and there would be hell to pay from my family if there wasn't". I personally don't want all that garbage poisoning my wedding, and as for the family, it would be our wedding and not theirs. Why should we do things we don't want to placate them?
My question to you is, what would be right for an atheist? What is your opinion on how an atheist wedding should be? What is your opinion on having a religious wedding to satisfy family members?
Views: 3162
Last I looked, An Athiest lacks a belief in a god or diety ... That's it.
Therefore the question what would be right for an Atheist you'd have to ask every single Atheist.
I guess I'm saying personally for your situation honestly I have no idea "what would be right for an atheist" Simply becuase there is no doctrine it's not a religion and there are millions of Atheists with millions of different opinions on everything else lol.
Do what YOU want i guess, but as it's a marriage best to be including your partners wishes too lol , I wouldnt worry what his or your parents want your not marrying them ,
Unless your letting them pay for it I wouldn't be too concerned what they want.
Just glad I married another Atheist who is as passionate as me about openly declaring we are Atheists and that Theism is irrelevant to us.
I'm not sure why you'd need to justify why you left out the religious stuff if you just planned everything and omitted it, that could work?
Never have I been to a wedding where i've known before hand it's going to be Godly or not or cared .... Always it has been about a celebration of a couple and THEIR special declaration of a committment to one another .
Every Atheist is different with only 1 thing in common with another Atheist....lacks a belief in a god or diety. I am always very cautious not to declare anything "Atheists do, should do or shouldn't do" that's doctrine and dogma i 'll leave that to the Theists
Good luck sounds like a polar opposites situation , maybe run off and elope or find someone else if it's a deal breaker :)
Sorry, let me rephrase. I know that atheism doesn't exactly have a set way to live or anything. What would be right for YOU as an atheist? I am asking more of an opinion than a general consensus of how atheism should be.
Do what you and your fiance want. Nosy mothers in law, etc. need to be firmly kept in their place--the ceremony is for you and your fiance, not for them. If they insist that if they are paying for it they should call the shots... well you have the choice not to accept the big fancy wedding but to walk out of a smaller ceremony knowing that the people who it is for are the ones who chose what it would be.
You'll note this advice could be given to anyone, not just atheists.
You'll note this advice could be given to anyone, not just atheists.
Yes, I see. I was just curious as to other's opinions specifically on the religious side of a wedding ceremony. Perhaps some overlooked it for their partner who may be christian or some who fought for what they wanted.
Thing is is that in this day and age one can have any theme of wedding they'd like. Get married by a friend who has been ordained a minister via the internet and throw a big party.
Have a look at Rowan Atkinson's "Father of the Bride" speech. Every time I think of formal weddings and speeches, I remember this sketch.
It's hilarious... but it only works because the audience has no context--they don't know certain things that a real wedding party would. (Can't elaborate any more without spoiling it.)
The Wedding Industry is the bastard love child of the fashion industry and religion--in other words, it is pure, concentrated EVIL. I'm so glad I'm not a traditional type of person, or I might get sucked into all that insanity. As it is, I'd like to rent a dress (which is economically practical, if you think about it how often a puffy white dress gets worn) or wear something offensively colorful (come on, it's a celebration!) I think I might only buy catering, live music, and time at a space. I don't know if I'd even find it necessary to have a third party marry us.
A third party is unnecessary in Colorado. I know a couple who had no one there--no one--other than a photographer. Now that is a private ceremony.
Well you know if all else fails you can always go to the "First Church Of Atheism" and get wedded by an Ordained Atheist minister LOL
It was incredibly important to me to have no element of religion in my wedding. We hired a big red London bus to take everyone to the registry office in Camberwell, where a v close friend read that passage from Captain Corelli's Mandolin (you know the one). We walked down the aisle to 'You Got The Love' by Candi Staton and then jumped on the bus to a pub in Bankside on the river, for a bbq and drinks.
Compulsory wedding photos (yes, I'm wearing black) -->
Luckily for us, my mum was really supportive, I was never raised in any religion so it was easy. However if my other dh's family were paying, we would have had to fight for it not to be held in a church, and I probably would have held off until we were financially stable enough to pay for it ourselves. What's a year or two and probably a reduced budget if it means you're not standing there, lying, on your 'special day'?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of
chronic diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular
diseases, obesity, and depression. Sufficient sleep is increasingly
being recognized as an essential aspect of chronic disease prevention
and health promotion."
With the sleep tracker, you can track your sleep patterns, and identify patterns of behavior that result in better sleep or more restless sleep, from drinking warm milk to uncomfortable temperatures. For mothers of young children, the sleep tracker can be used to track their babies' sleep patterns.
How do I get a personalized Sleep Tracker?
If you're a registered member of MedHelp, go to My MedHelp and click on the Trackers tab. There you'll see a list of available trackers, including the Sleep Tracker. Click "Add Tracker". You'll then set up your ovulation tracker, run through a quick tutorial, and start tracking.
If you're not yet a member of MedHelp, you'll first need to Sign Up. Then you'll be able to go to My MedHelp and add this tracker.
I don't want other people to see my tracker. What do I do?
You can change the privacy setting of your tracker at any time by clicking "Tracker Settings" on your tracker page. You can change the privacy setting to Public, Private, or Friends Only.
How do I see historical data?
At the top of the tracker, you'll find a timeline with a slider. Click on the slider and drag it left and right. As you move, you'll see the start date displayed. When the start date is at your desired date, let go and the chart will update to start on that date.
How much sleep do I need?
We've created a Health Page to cover this topic: How Much Sleep Do You Need Each Night
When I set up my tracker, it asks me to choose a time for when the day begins. What does this mean and what should I enter?
The sleep chart displays your sleep sessions for a given day and time. When you set a time for when the day should start, you're choosing where the y-axis should begin. If you set it to 6:00 pm, the y-axis will start at 6 p.m. and go through 5 p.m. If you set it to start 12:00 am midnight, the y-axis will start at 12:00 am midnight and end at 11:00 pm. Some people sleep at night while other sleep during the day and work at night, so this feature allows everyone to use the sleep tracker.
To set up your tracker, you can set this field to anytime that you typically aren't asleep. For people who sleep at night without naps, 6:00 pm would work . If you typically sleep from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm, you might want to set your tracker to start at 1:00 pm.
If you take a lot of naps, it gets a little more complicated. It depends on if you want to count naps as part of the upcoming night's sleep or the previous night's sleep. If it's the former, move the start time before the nap. If it's the latter, move the start time after the nap. For example, if you typically sleep from 11:00 pm to 4:00 am and take a nap from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, the day will look very different if you set your tracker to begin at 6:00 pm or 1:00 pm. If you set it to 6:00 pm, the nap won't count towards the next night's sleep. If you set it to 3:00 pm, it would.
You can change this setting at any time, so feel free to play around with it until you get the chart to look the way you like. You can access this setting by clicking "Tracker Settings" on your Sleep Tracker.
I don't sleep in one big block of time. Can I still track my sleep with the Sleep Tracker?
Yes, the sleep tracker allows you to track one or multiple sleep sessions, including naps. After you enter your first sleep time, click the "Add Another" link directly below the times you just entered. You can keep repeating this until you have entered all the blocks of time that you slept.

Most people are surprised to learn we are a two-dog clan. I often write about little Nicky (aka She Who Rules), and nothing about Widdles dog, Molly. So heres the scoop.
Molly is a gigantic, shambling black Lab who lives in the fenced back yard. Widdle adopted her as a wee pup. She slept inside back then. He even took her on the road, back when he had a traveling job. Then one day Molly decided she did not wish to set paw indoors ever again, and she never has--with one nerve-wracking exception.
One night, when a hurricane seemed imminent, Widdle literally dragged her 90-pound bulk into the kitchen, where hed made her a pallet of towels and sheets.
She crouched there, spraddle-legged, and proceeded to pant hysterically for hours. She refused to stand, sit or lie down. Finally, when the wind and rain stopped, Widdle opened the back door. She bolted into the night and hit the ground running. Then she dug a hole and passed out in it.
Mollys holestheres a bottomless topic. The very first time I went to Widdles house, I noticed a large hole in the grassy side yard. It looked like a meteor had landed.
What is that? I asked.
Mollys recliner, he said, and it made perfect sense.
Over the years Molly has dug several other recliners, for different times of the day. At 7 a.m. she might be in her Barcalounger (ha, get it?). By 3 p.m. shes moved to her cabana, in sync with the suns rays. Her snug holes seem to soothe her old bones.
Widdle long ago made her a nice sleeping area in the storage shed, next to her automatic feeder. He even installed a heat lamp for her. She seldom uses itthe shelter, not the feeder. Boy, does she use that feeder. But shes not big on shelter: She also has a large, expensive doghouse shes never so much as sniffed at. She prefers the great outdoors.
Many a morning, Widdle has walked outside after a bitterly cold night to see Molly comfortably wedged in one of her holes, sleepily thumping her tail, with frost covering her coat from neck to rump.
Speaking of Widdle, Molly is a one-man dog and Widdle is her man. She has no interest in other people. I cant count the times shes stalked off as I was petting her. A friend whos had a lifetime of Labs said, Ive never seen one so aloof. Happily, she appears to be mildly fond of Nicky; thats a relief, as they spend lots of time together and she outweighs Nicky by 75 pounds.
The years have forged an understanding between Molly and me. Ive learned that she will eat anything: burned birthday cake, over-salted vegetables, hard biscuits. She has learned that my cooking errors will be laid at her feet. When I open the back door and yodel, she comes running.
Molly is almost 14 now, but still lively: Recently she escaped by crawling through thickets and brambles to scale the almost vertical slope of a drainage ditch. She immediately marched up to the corner store, which sells the best fried chicken in town. She hung around and cadged handouts for hours.
Animal Control eventually A) returned her to the yard and B) left a ticket on the doorknob. When we got home, she still had grease on her muzzle.
Probably not the best diet for an old dog, but what a way to go.
Julie R. Smith, who will miss Molly more than she admits, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On January 1st we can start a clean slate and draft our ever crucial new year's resolutions. Whether or not we actually achieve those goals is another matter (we've yet to do 2012's spring cleaning). Nevertheless, it's always a fun challenge to set them for ourselves…and also for our friends in Hollywood. Just like us, our celebs could use a little goal setting for 2013. Just like your mother says, we do it because we love you. Here's our resolutions to the stars, and -most importantly- Happy New Year!
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling – We know one of Hollywood's hottest couples is costarring in The Place Beyond the Pines in 2013 together. However, after watching the two show their comedy chops in the latest Drunk History clips, we cannot wait to see more of these two collaborate. We know the duo has some off screen chemistry, and the silver screen may not even be able to handle the hotness between them. We have a proposition for these two for 2013: more projects together, please!

I have always had such good service at this location. They were prompt in notifying me when there was an issue with possible water damage. They assisted me in pulling out my items and checking for the damage and re-boxing the items that were in damaged boxes. I was lucky nothing was damaged beyond the boxes, but feel that if there had been damage I would have been compensated fairly. Love dealing with Mary and her staff!Barbara from Riverhead, NY

is this a dead horse yet?
iPhone unlikely to go LTE before 2012? [No, really!]
Digitimes rumormongers that Apple expected to launch an 4G LTE powered "iPhone 4S" (sigh) this year (double sigh) but has had to push it back to 2012 due to problems with the Qualcomm chipsets.
Apple is likely to delay the launch of its LTE-enabled iPhones to 2012, said the sources, noting that the industry had also long been skeptical about the launch of LTE iPhones in 2011 as the implementation of LTE networks has not yet matured.
Of course, Apple wasn't expected to ship an LTE iPhone in 2011, as they themselves have expressed -- justifiable -- concerns over battery life in current generation chipsets, and the proper Qualcomm radio isn't expected to be available until iPhone 6 in 2012 anyway.
The 5th generation iPhone is expected to be announced and shipped sometime in the September/October timeframe in the US, though why on Jobs' green earth would they call it iPhone 4S when it's the 5th generation iPhone? (iPhone 3GS was the 3rd generation iPhone, a problem that needed fixing because they called the 2nd generation iPhone, iPhone 3G.)
So, yeah, let's take that bit with a China sized grain of salt. What's more interesting, and hopefully likely, is the second part -- that it will boast an 8mp rear camera. Let's hope that's matched up with a new FaceTime HD up front.

iPhone unlikely to go LTE before 2012? [No, really!]
What is the point of these articles? To continuously provide us with the same set of rumors we are familiar with, but that comes from different sources?
TiPb, do you enjoy being part of this cycle of idiocy? Someone reads a tech blog and accepts the heavily repeated and agreed upon rumors and speculations. That person distributes the information as fact to other people. Those other people then tell the tech blogs, and the blogs rewrite what they wrote last week (in this case just yesterday with TiPb's Phones 4U article), but changes the source from which their information passed through.
A common thread exists:
1) The iPhone 5 will have very little hardware change compared to the iPhone 4. And this includes no internal components capable of supporting LTE.
2) the iPhone 5 will have a late summer or fall release.
Again, I say: By now you all should have started disregarding these types of reports. But instead, and this is interesting, you take these reports as furthur evidence of the assertions you have made.
You know a lot of us follow TiPb on Twitter or Facebook, and some of us receive text message alerts. These article are just unnecessary and ridiculous.
I agree, I am starting to get disenchanted with TipB as the same article content seems to be constantly repeated at almost a daily rate. I do not mind follow up on a story as long as it brings fresh and new content but to just regurgitate the same information seems monotonous.
obvious troll is obvious
LMAO!!! You seem to have caught on. Release a white version on the SAME phone, and it is news for days! Notice when they do a case review, it is a white phone now, like it is something new? As a side note, Apple needs to drop the numbering system all together. What will we be doing in a few years, guessing what iphone 23 will be like? Just stupid. They did not name the first one, and it was completely obvious that the 3G was not the original, and the third one was the same as the second one, just faster and had video, so we tacked an S on it. They did not have to call this one 4...it is not even on the back of the phone like the 3G / 3GS was. It just says iPhone, and they should leave it at that. As to when it comes out: WHO CARES??!!! But, like yourself, I'm sure it will be even more magical / revolutionary than the "old" one, and people that have had a phone for barely a year will gripe that they cannot get a new one, and we will have to endure endless "unboxing" videos (just who in the world started that? They need to be located and beaten about the head and shoulders with a bat) of this amazing device. Which will look a lot like the "old" device, operate like the "old" device, and STILL not perform a lot of the functions that much less "magical / revolutionary" phones have been able to do for years.
I really hope we don't have to wait till September/October for the iPhone, I've been waiting since Feb to upgrade my iPhone 3GS. I may end up going Samsung Galaxy S II it the phone turns out to be good. So far the reviews for the phone have been excellent. Just need to see if AT&T cripple it in anyway of change it to look ugly (as they did the Captivate).
I can beat that. I've been waiting to upgrade my iPhone 3G (no "S") since my contract went month-to-month last November. Pushing it out of the normal June window is really starting to tick me off.
My guess is that all these "rumors" are plants by Apple so the competition will relax a little but and then BAM! At WWDC in June the drop a huge bomb that no one was expecting. That is the Apple way, is it not?
I could care less about LTE right now. I'm not trying to sacrafice battery to download a song a wee bit faster. ... No I'm more concerned w/what Apple will bring to the table in the form of hardware/software upgrades. Minus the MMS & Tethering Deal, my issue has never been w/AT&T. It's been w/Apple and some of theses weak hardware upgrades. Next iPhone should have a 5mp front and a 8mp back. Hell for HD FaceTime. Go 8mp on the front, 10mp on the back. But nooo that would be to much like right, wouldn't it, Apple?
That wouldn't go well at all. Megapixes don't mean anything for picture quality once you hit the 2mp threshold. Also those sensors would be to big for how thin the phone is.
"why on jobs green earth" dumbest thing ive ever heard in my life
iPhone 5 - June - Lots of Differences From the 4.
Considering that Tim Cook himself said that an LTE iPhone is at least 1 generation away because Apple didn't want to make design compromises with the current design.
It probably should bear repeating that the LTE "rumors" were nothing but wishful thinking or spec-mongering. Not only are there power issues in the first gen LTE chipsets, there are also weird handoff issues between LTE to EVDO and EVDO to LTE transitions. It's just not user friendly now.
Basically every Mac person/blogger has stated this. Digitimes is just making up stuff.
Regarding the naming of the newest iPhone: I sincerely doubt it will be called the iPhone 4S. This name has been adopted by lazy analysts ever since the developers who'd been given up-spec'd iPhone 4 models to test had dubbed them as such.
Also, Rene, among many others, seems to be confused regarding the historical naming scheme. The 3GS didn't fix any problem created by the 2nd gen iPhone being called the 3G. Recall 2007, Apple detractors took many shots at the iPhone's lack of 3G radio technology. The addition of the faster radio in its 2nd device represented an amelioration of the biggest gripe of the first and was the main differentiator between the two handsets. The 3GS, having not changed in form factor at all, was named so to tout its biggest differentiator from the previous model, speed, while retaining the name of its aesthetically identical predecessor. The iPhone 4 represents the first time Apple has delved into enumeration for a naming choice, likely because its complete overhaul inside and out demanded as much.
Ideally, each new model should merely be called iPhone, but with the recent releasing of iPad 2 (hate that naming), this seems unlikely. Having said that, there is no reason to believe Apple won't simply go in a different direction altoghether- iPhone HD, perhaps. Ultimately, though, to jump between enumerated models and ones that are not (an iPhone 4S would have to be followed by an iPhone 6) seems far too inelegant a solution for such a product conscious company like Apple to adopt.
I wondering if its the fact that Apple wants to have all the phones they launch to have only one Radio. This way they'll save money and we wouldn't have ' fragmentation ' with the iOS versions (the GSM and CDMA iPhones have different iOS versions).
7.2HSPA on my 3GS is pretty good where I get it. I think 14.4HSPA ( ' 4G' ) will be sufficient until LTE by AT&T is built out, which im not holding my breath for.
