Rated 3 out of 5Â by BunnyZ Sweater Robe I loved the idea of a soft sweater robe. I ended up getting the blue color and it does have gold yard in it that makes it sparkle. However it is SUPER itchy!!!! Even with a long shirt one my neck was still bothered by it. I will say it is cute though. Just wish it was way more soft. 11.13.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by deeva27 Pretty !!! I bought this to wear as a sweater and not a robe. The midnight combo is very pretty with just the right amount of sparkle ( not too much and not too little). It does run big and is a little itchy this is the reason I give it three stars and the reason I returned it. 4.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Falcon Beautiful sweater! Color is gorgeous fits roomy, love the sparkle of the indigo colored one. Dresses or casual, highly recommended! 2.5.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LLB Comfy sweater Pretty sweater..loose knit..very slightly itchy. Looks just like the photos. Pretty enough to wear out, which I did when I first got it. I've been wearing it as a robe for about a month, meaning a few times/week at the end of the day and it is holding up well. I got it for 25% off the sale price the week after Christmas. I would not have paid full price but happy with my purchase. 1.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lori529 Cozy, very sweet Looks like picture except you can't tell hiw much me Gallic treading is in it until you see it in person. The threading is alot more noticable then the pic. Still very nice. Its soft, not scratchie. Cofortable. A keeper. Nice for these winter days/ nites. Im sure it'll be great year round. Very pretty. I just wish Babbitt cooked more like the pic, less metalic. 1.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by amyWM LOVE I did not find this sweater itchy. I don't know why its called a robe, tho. I wear it outside the house.... anyway, I have the dark blue, and its gorgeous. It fits BIG, size down. 12.14.2012

I just moved into The Overlook... apartments here in Southern California. :) Obviously The Shining was the first thing I thought of when looking into the apartments. This turned out to be a perfect location with reasonable rent. The weather was even cold, drizzly with fog when I moved in last week (which is unusual for San Diego, even in January).
Attachment 16736
Hopefully I'll last through the year. :) Looking forward to Dr Sleep!

EJ and Sami have a knock-down-drag-out fight, Nicole won't forgive Eric, and Brady continues to search for Kristen.
At home, Gabi panics when Sonny questions her about the modelling contract from Sparkle. Will hears the ruckus and comes out. Sonny tells him about the contract. They're excited for her. She says she hasn't signed yet and keeps the location of the job from them. Sonny texts Justin to have him look over the contract for her.
EJ finds Sami with his cell phone in the great room and she confronts him for knowing yet keeping quiet that Kristen drugged and raped Eric. EJ says he was trying to keep the situation under control. Sami calls him out for protecting Kristen instead of his family. EJ blames Marlena but this doesn't sit well with Sami so he decides to put a pin in it. He admits he knew Kristen and Eric had sex but claims that's all he knew. He makes light of it and says they looked like two consenting adults in that video. Sami starts screaming about it being rape and thought EJ wanted to marry her. He does. He prepares a drink and she grabs it, spilling booze all over her face, and then smashes the glass. She yells that he knew and didn't tell her. He says if he had, the video would have aired on the evening news. "Only a complete fool would have told you." She screams that what he did was unforgivable and tells him to find another bed to sleep in. She leaves and he looks on his laptop, wondering what sort of mess the business is in. He seems upset by what he reads.
At the scene of the accident, a cop brings a homeless gal, Brenda, forth to help with the investigation. Though she identifies Kristen as being the woman she saw, she doesn't seem to have all of her faculties so they get nowhere with her. They send her away and Brady and Hope argue about him going off half-cocked.
At his apartment, Daniel offers for Maggie to stay while she sorts out things between her and Victor. She learns Nicole's in the guest room and goes off the rails at him. Daniel says Nicole needs a friend. Maggie relents. Nicole's lucky to have him. They discuss Victor stabbing Marlena in the back again and Daniel once again defends Victor and blames Kristen. Maggie decides to stay in a hotel. She says she went into the marriage knowing who Victor was but she just thought, "What's there left for him to do? Who does things like this at his age?" She leaves and Hope arrives to take a statement about the masking agent and drug Father Eric was given and then asks how such a good guy managed to hurt Jennifer the way he did. He tells her he was merely doing his job as a doctor. Hope thinks he's hiding something.
Father Eric runs into Nicole at the Salem Police Department. She fills him in on the accident and Kristen going missing. Eric's concerned Nicole was hurt. He's disgusted with himself for his lack of trust in Nicole. Her eyes fill with tears and she says she understands...that he was wrong. She sobs that she swore on a bible and he still didn't believe her. He needed a video to prove she was innocent! He weeps and she says he doesn't have to worry about her loving him anymore. His virtue is safe with her. She refuses to accept his apology - ever.
Tad goes gaga for Jordan when she meets Abigail at Club TBD. They sip a little vino and when Abby mentions wanting to get to know Jordan better, Jordan looks nervous. Abby talks about her family a little and Jordan says she lost her dad when she was young but wants to discuss fun things tonight. T introduces himself as Tad Stevens and gives them free drinks. Gabi arrives and Jordan's uncomfortable being around Rafe's sister until Gabi gets her to relax.
Maggie finds Brady at the Kiriakis mansion. They discuss how he thought Kristen wasn't like the other DiMeras. Maggie worries he'll start using but he's too filled with rage. She tells him to call if he needs her and goes to a hotel. Once she's gone, Brady stares at the bottles of alcohol at the bar and calls someone to find Kristen.
Sami walks into the rectory and hugs her brother. She almost tells him EJ knew but cries that she believes in him and is proud of him.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by geehana perfect & versatile These shorts are so comfy and look really nice Can be worn as shorts with a top or under dress, so versatile! 11.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bserotkin Wonderful :) I'm 5'9 118 pounds and I ordered the tan in size xs/sm. they fit perfect. Very comfortable and soft. They were not tight around my thighs. I'm going to live in them as soon as its warm enough. I definitely want the black ones. Free people keep the colors coming!! 2.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tunes23 Perfect I just received the black size M/L in the mail today and they are even better than expected! I'm 5'6" 140 lbs and the fit is perfect. I love the higher waist and the material is of course super soft and stretchy like FP's usual intimate wear quality. I like that these shorts are not see-through (in the black at least). These will be great for layering under dresses and tunics. I'm definitely ordering the copper next. 4.20.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 71susan SOOOO ADORABLE I purchased mine in a grayish purple color. Not sold anymore. I love them soooo much. So glad I bought it. I wear mine a bit shorter than the models do in the pics, it looks much cuter on this way. I only wear them around my loft or under my short dresses and skirts. They are super stretchy and don't fit too tight. I will say it's true to size but I believe a medium person could wear the XS/S. So comfy. I purchased another pair. Wish I could have all the colors. Will also use them for sleeping. Definitely get a pair 8.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jessica_C Perfect little black shorts Great layering piece, so very comfortable and as an added bonus makes my butt look big! I wouldn't wear it outside by itself but could be used as sleep shorts or wear it to the beach. I'm 105 pounds and found the size XS fits well, has an adequate amount of stretch to it too. 6.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rainykite In love. Above and beyond happy with this purchase! These shorts are so stylish and cute... not to mention extremely comfortable. I ordered the black pair and I am definitely considering ordering the olive or copper pair... <3 1.16.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by niftyd No Frill - Smaller in leg than anticipated I bought these hoping they would work. I have a thick waist but narrow hips and slim-to-muscular thighs. I bought the XS/S although I wear a US8-10. They fit in the hip and a little snug in the waist - but because the fabric is so stretchy- they work. The problem is the leg. The pair I have didn't frill at all. perhaps I should have bought the M/L. They look like bike shorts on me. I cannot fault the quality. So surprised but still recommend. 10.16.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by freedom-lover nice shorts Bought in black to go under short charcoal embellished slip. I'm not a shorts fan but I love the idea of a "bloomer" underneath a maxi dress. I am a medium, 5'2" 150 lbs and curvy. The XS/S was a good fit for me because of the ruche and stretch of the shorts. They do ride high on your waist and come above my belly button but its okay as an undie look. Comfortable for an all day wear. 10.1.2014

Legends in Concert to kick off Hollywood Concert Series with free shows June 6-8Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Three free Legends in Concerts shows June 6-8 will kick off Hollywood Casino Toledo's outdoor summer concert series, which organizers say will be more extensive and more diverse than last year.
Last year's inaugural series was called the Spotlight Summer Concert Series. This year's will be called the Hollywood Concert Series.
"The feedback we received from our customers and the community was overwhelmingly positive," said Anika Gaskins, the casino's vice president of marketing. "We gleaned a lot of learning from last year and we set our sights even higher from an entertainment perspective this year."
Many people asked for more diverse shows, a request the casino was "happy to oblige," Gaskins said. This year's lineup will feature genres such as classic rock, country, alternative rock, R&B and soul.
The casino also increased the number of seats from 2,500 to 3,000 and added an option to purchase VIP tickets. The VIP section, which last year was open only to guests invited by the casino, will open a segment of available tickets for public purchase. The VIP area will have "close access to the stage" as well as VIP-only food and drink stands and VIP-only restrooms, Gaskins said.
Legends in Concert
Legends in Concert will kick off the series with a free show at 10 p.m. June 6, followed by shows at 10 p.m. June 7 and 6 p.m. June 8. The internationally acclaimed act is the original and largest live celebrity tribute show in the world and a staple performance in Las Vegas, Gaskins said. More than 30 million people worldwide have seen the show live.
"We decided to partner with Legends in Concert for our kickoff weekend because we wanted to give people an opportunity to experience our outdoor venue free of charge while providing them the flash and excitement of a Las Vegas production," Gaskins said.
Legends In Concert shows are known for their elaborate theatrical sets, magnificent costumes and full array of incredible special effects, including three dimensional multimedia and multimillion dollar, state-of-the-art lighting, laser and sound systems, according to a news release.
Among the celebrities impersonated at the show will be Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Madonna.
Jazmine, who portrays Houston, is an international recording artist from Long Island, N.Y., who draws from her Cuban heritage while singing in both Spanish and English, according to the release. Her original song "Love Like Never Before" topped France's dance charts in 1996, surpassing superstars like Madonna.
Corey Melton, who portrays Jackson, started singing and dancing when he was 3. He aims to provide fans with what he calls "an alternative reality," giving them a chance to see the late Jackson live in concert.
Coty Alexander, who portrays Madonna, comes from a family of performers in Los Angeles and started her impersonation career as Shirley Temple at age 5. She has also performed as Marilyn Monroe, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani and more.
The series is a fulfillment of a dream of Hollywood Casino Toledo's General Manager Richard St. Jean, who knew from the start he wanted to offer a summer concert series along the banks of the Maumee River.
"We had a vision three years ago," St. Jean said. "It was a dirt lot out front and I said, 'Wouldn't this be a great opportunity for entertainment?' Kind of just a vision. Last year we kind of muddled our way through it. We booked some acts, many of them last minute as we pulled this together. So when Anika came to us over a year ago, she saw the last concert and she said, 'Now I have vision.' She said, 'Let's do this right,' so she started working on this last fall.
"It's going to be a great series. I'm really proud of what you've done," St. Jean told event organizers during a June 6 media preview of the upcoming shows.
Upcoming shows
Another free show will be Robby Krieger's Jam Kitchen on June 19. Krieger is the original guitarist for The Doors and wrote hits including "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" and "Light My Fire," Gaskins said.
Admission to the rest of the performances vary in cost from $25 to $45.
Country singer Travis Tritt will make a return appearance after his popular performance at last year's summer concert series, Gaskins said. He will perform on Aug. 22. Chevelle is also a return act. Hollywood Casino Toledo will be the first stop on the group's U.S. tour, kicking off June 20.
The full summer lineup includes:
- June 6-8: Legends in Concert. 10 p.m. June 6-7 and 6 p.m. June 8. Free.
- June 14: Jamey Johnson, 9:30 p.m., $40.

One of the reasons the Japanese did not keep coming and attack America after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. They were concerned of the armed citizens. I am not saying that was the only reason. But it did concern them.
I am afraid this is the start of our "No ammo, what good is a gun attack"
I'm dusting off my single stage press. Hmm lets see. Powder, case, bullets, primers. Damn. I'm down to 12,000 rounds. Better start ordering.
Gunco if you need ammo let us know. We will all chip in and send you 50 rounds a week. You are in Kommifornia right.
I'm telling you guys. These S.O.B. anit gunners ain't stupid. Hit us where it hurts. Our Ammo. Hell I'll buy a bow and arrow.
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
thats funny 4thidvet. i was thinking about a crossbow the other day myself or a muzzle loader. hell i'll make me a friging catapult or trebuchet(not sure of spelling as it is french word)make booby traps, tiger pits, whatever it takes. thats if they can get my guns with me still alive
ya'll just don't get it. it's not about crime. that's just an excuse. it's about THE CONTROL of the people. james madison warned us..............
James Madison wrote in the Federalist Papers (No. 46), "The ultimate authority... resides in the people alone. ... The advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation ... forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition."
Similarly, Federalist Noah Webster wrote: "Tyranny is the exercise of some power over a man, which is not warranted by law, or necessary for the public safety. A people can never be deprived of their liberties, while they retain in their own hands, a power sufficient to any other power in the state."
"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." --Samuel Adams

Train Wreck Season?
by Tim Allen
posted Aug 27 2013 9:15PM
So we've come to the determination that the Brewers 2013 season was a complete train wreck? Let's not be so quick to make that judgment.
GM Doug Melvin has shown us a few things that may have been thrown into the 'pleasant surprise' category. Khris Davis is one of them. Prorate out Davis' numbers, and it shows some strong potential. Not only with regard to his power, but as of this writing, his batting average as well. Small sample size would be the other side of the argument, but for now, a notch to the good side for Melvin. Scooter Gennett has impressed. The young second baseman was somewhat overmatched the first time up, but now seems to have settled in. Whether or not he is a legit lead-off hitter remains to be seen, but Scooter looks to be a solid major leaguer. The development of Wily Peralta is a work in progress. However, he seems to be durable, taking the ball every 5 games, and learning on the job. A few tweaks here and there and Wily could find himself at the top of the rotation within 1 or 2 years. Jim Henderson has emerged to be quite reliable in the back end of the bullpen. The long time minor leaguer has stepped up and performed well. Will he pitch in the 8th or 9th inning? THAT remains to be seen, but we can agree that he's been successful thus far. The third base position. Juan Francisco shows tremendous power, but lacks in batting average. If the organization can get Francisco to put the ball in play more consistently, Melvin may have pulled off another good to great trade. Additionally, the trade of K Rod for 3B prospect Nick Delmonico might be something to keep your eyes on. Nonetheless, Melvin saw a hole in the line-up at 3B, and addressed it. Ramirez has only 1 year left on a 3 year deal, and Melvin's foresight may be praised within 2 years or so. Finally, the young pitchers in the organization are a work in progress. Johnny Hellweg, who struggled at the big league level, certainly has shown his talents at Triple A. If that converts to the majors, a future tandem of Peralta and Hellweg could prove to be powerful. Jimmy Nelson, Taylor Jungmann, Jed Bradley, Devin Williams, along with Fiers, Estrada, and others has the 'strength in numbers' theme to it. Finally, the position players that Melvin has massed, often times, flies under the radar. Braun and Gomez will both be here for years to come. Lucroy and Segura are mainstays and both may be better than we've seen thus far.
So, complete 'Train Wreck'? Maybe. Maybe NOT. Smile Milwaukee, The World Will Smile Back.

Train Wreck Season?
Please Enter Your Comments Below
Pat from Milwaukee
Train wreck? The on the field stuff? I'd say no, its not quite been a train wreck. Look, the Astros and the Marlins are train wrecks but their showing me lately that they care and they fight. I was a Gennett doubter/Rickie guy and really (admittedly so far) Scooter has impressed me and Davis has impressed me. Not that they are going to necessarily be total world beaters, they have showed me that they can play and that there's a chance (a chance) they could become good baseball players. Peralta and all those other guys too. That's a ot things that have to go right but its not an impossibility. Bottom line, I'm still listening to the games when I can and enjoying them. Why? Because I like the Brewers. I think Melvin still has some leash for his performance as GM so far; at least until the end of next year. All I can say is that I'm still listening to the games and enjoying them. Why? Because I like the Brewers (to answer a Big Show "lane")

Document, Assess, and Demonstrate Your Learning in Counseling Psychology
My Assessment Portfolio (MAP) is an ePortfolio tool used to document and demonstrate learning. Masters students enrolled in counselor training programs are required to collect assignments to document their academic work and provide evidence that they are meeting various required state and professional standards. Courses have at least one key assignment that is designed to evaluate a candidate's progress toward particular program outcomes. The key assignment is assessed using a corresponding rubric aligned to the program's outcomes, as well as to standards set by a state and/or a professional organization.
Once a student is accepted and enrolled into a Lesley MAP eligible program of study, the initial five year subscription is created through an automatic registration process for the MAP ePortfolio account via Chalk and Wire. There is a one-time, non-refundable subscription fee associated with MAP ePortfolio use. An orientation tutorial for MAP will be available to MAP eligible students through the myLesley Counseling Psychology Community Tab in Blackboard.
Accounts will be created during the first week of each term. Account information is sent to each student's lesley.edu email address only.
To access MAP, visit www.chalkandwire.com/Lesley.
For technical issues associated with MAP, please contact email@example.com.

Google's image search engine added an expandable toolbelt with search options that allow you to refine the results without visiting the advanced search page. Much like web search and Google Video, the image search engine exposes some options that were already available, but they were difficult to find.
You can pick the size by choosing medium, large, icon, by specifying the exact size or by selecting "larger than" and choosing one of the lower bounds. For example, you can restrict the results to images larger than 2 MP (1600x1200).
Other options include the type of image (face, photo, line drawing, clip art) and the colors (black and white, full color, predominantly red, predominantly blue etc.).
Let's find 2MP+ photos that are mostly gray and they include penguins.

The Washington Post Co. reported its first-quarter earnings on Friday, and the news coming out of the newspaper division was mostly grim. The unit lost $22.6 million in the quarter, with revenue down 8% and revenue from print advertising specifically falling 17%.
Meanwhile, the Post just reported one of the biggest circulation drops of any major newspaper with the lucrative Sunday edition selling 5.2% fewer copies and the daily edition skidding almost 10%. Oh, and newsroom leaders are so distressed about the way the business decline is affecting them, they held a secret meeting with the paper's president, Steve Hills — without inviting executive editor Marcus Brauchli.
Now, are you ready for the really bad news?
Check out the chart below from AppData.com. It shows the number of monthly average users (MAU) of the Washington Post Social Reader, an app that encourages Facebook users to read and recommend articles from the Post's website.
For those readers who suffer from chart-blindness, AppData shows Social Reader's MAU falling from 17.4 million to 9.2 million over the past 30 days.
It would be hard to overstate the importance and centrality of the Social Reader to the Post's strategy. When I interviewed the Post Co.'s chief digital officer, Vijay Ravindran, earlier this year he pointed to the app as one of the company's most promising new products, a way of bringing precious new younger readers to a franchise that has been otherwise challenged to reach them.
It's in large part the promise of social-powered distribution that has induced Post chairman Don Graham to keep the paper's digital editions free. This even though other newspapers are having real success with various types of paywalls, and even though Warren Buffett, the company's biggest and most influential outside shareholder, has made it clear he thinks papers must charge for their digital content.
In other words, if the trend in the chart above is genuine and not some kind of blip, the Post needs to completely reevaluate the assumptions underlying its digital distribution strategy. And fast.
Update: It doesn't seem to be a blip. Buzzfeed's John Herrman notes that other Facebook-based media consumption apps, including the Guardian's, are showing signs of audience collapse as well.
Meanwhile, here's what an AppData spokeswoman told me, via email.
The data from AppData comes directly from Facebook. The data is accurate; no methodology/implementation change from AppData would cause the change.
Facebook is constantly testing how social readers/open-graph-enabled apps appear and and how much distribution they get in the news feed. This may impact the active user counts for all social reading apps, including others like The Guardian. For example, it recently started grouping social reader stories in a "Trending Articles" aggregation.
Many Facebook users are still learning about social reading apps, deciding whether they want to use them or not, and whether they want to share activity with their friends. The peak growth of the Washington Post Social Reader may have come from users trying it out, and since then has come back down.
Update 2: As AppData's spokeswoman suggested, the falloff does appear to Facebook's introduction of a "trending articles" module as a means of displaying social news articles in users' feeds. TechCrunch has details. Exactly what this means for the news organizations that were just starting to get used to all that new Facebook-powered readership is unclear. Says TechCrunch, "just because there was massive organic referral traffic to be had until now is no guarantee it will return."
Writing at GigaOm, Mathew Ingram says relying on social readers to drive traffic is a "Faustian bargain." As these (temporary?) drops in audience show, Facebook can deprive publishers of traffic as easily as it can bestow it upon them. When its own interests come into conflict with publishers' aims, Facebook will side with itself every time.

Parking Rules and Regulations
- What is needed
- Freshman parking ban
- Obtaining a permit
- Placement of a permit
- Replacing a permit
- Lost/stolen permits
- Visitor parking areas
- Service vehicles
- Disability parking
- Commuter lots
- Snow lots
- Motorcycles, snowmobiles and trailers
- Disabled vehicles
- Permission to load and unload
These parking rules and regulations are in effect throughout the year, including holidays and all University recesses and intercessions.
Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit on all campus roadways is 20 mph. Sidewalks and service drives are restricted to emergency and maintenance vehicles in the performance of their official duties. Any other vehicle being operated on a sidewalk or service drive must have prior permission granted by the New York State University Police.
A complete list of campus rules and regulations consistent with the Vehicle and Traffic Law relating to parking, vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and safety is on file with the Secretary of State, the office of the clerk of the Town of Vestal and the office of the University's Director of University Police. The list may be reviewed within the normal hours of these offices.
Parking on campus: What is needed
Anyone parking on campus starting at 12:01 a.m. Monday through 5 p.m. Friday must display a valid parking hangtag, parking decal or be parked in a paid parking space. After 5 p.m. on Friday until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, no parking permit is needed to park in a valid parking space, though paid spaces are still in effect. See 'Visitors' below for more information on short-term parking options.
Faculty and staff represented by a bargaining unit must display a valid University registration decal on their vehicle when it is parked on campus. All other faculty and staff must display a valid University parking hangtag. Faculty and staff must register vehicles driven on campus within 48 hours of their acquisition.
All students are required to register their vehicles with Parking Services at the time of academic registration or within 48 hours of acquiring the vehicle. Resident students who move off campus must still register with Parking Services and obtain the appropriate University parking permit.
Parking Services customers may only register vehicles belonging to them or to a member of their immediate family.
Registration of a vehicle with Parking Services is not a parking permit and carries no parking privileges. Vehicle registration merely enables Parking Services to identify and, if necessary, contact the operator.
Freshman parking ban
Freshmen residing in University residence halls are not permitted to register or park a vehicle on campus, including at parking meters, the Parking Garage and the Visitor's Paid Lot. First-year resident, non-transfer, matriculated freshmen must complete at least 24 academic credits at Binghamton University to register a vehicle and be issued a parking permit. *Credits earned while in high school do not count toward parking.
Freshmen who reside off campus may register a vehicle on campus and purchase a parking permit.
Requests for exceptions to this policy are to be directed to Parking Services.
Resident freshmen who park a car on campus without permission from Parking Services and upper-classmen who purchase a parking permit for a resident freshman (or attempt to do so) will be fined and/or face campus judicial action.
Obtaining a parking permit and registration decal
You may register for parking in person at Parking Services on the Ground floor of the Couper Administration Building, or at the Information Booth on Bartle Drive. Customer hours at Parking Services are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday; at the Information Booth, 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday. At all other times, temporary parking permits may be obtained at the University Police Department, Couper Administration Building G-35.
Returning customers of Parking Services can purchase parking hangtags and decals for previously registered vehicles online at our website during the month of August and in early September.
Parking permit fees vary according to the type of permit; consult the fee schedule at Parking Services, the Information Booth or on the website. Be sure to obtain the permit best suited to your parking needs, as refunds will not be issued after seven calendar days of purchase. (Also, refunds will be processed only after available funds have been credited to any outstanding fine balances.)
Dates of validity for parking permits are: Fall: 9/1 to 1/31; Spring: 2/1 to 5/31; Summer: 6/1 to 8/31; Annual 9/1 to 8/31. Since parking spaces are limited, purchase of a parking permit does not assure a parking space.
Ownership of the parking permit is not transferable.
Placement of registration decal and parking permit
Parking hangtags must be hung from the rear-view mirror, with the University logo facing front. You may transfer the permit to any vehicle (except that of a resident freshman who is ineligible for parking). You'll be held responsible for parking violations issued to any vehicle bearing your permit.
Registration decals must be permanently and entirely affixed to the outside of the left (driver's) rear-side window. Taping or other temporary adhesion is not permitted. Registration decals are not transferable from one vehicle to another. If you sell the vehicle, or if you cease to be an employee of the University, it's your responsibility to remove the registration decal.
Motorcycle parking permits and decals should be permanently and entirely affixed to the left front fork.
Temporary replacement permits
Students, staff and visitors who have a currently valid parking hangtag and who leave their hangtag behind may purchase a one-day replacement hangtag, available from Parking Services, the Information Booth or the University Police (after hours only) at the current daily rate.
Staff members who have a currently valid parking decal and who need to drive a different car to campus may obtain a free three-day temporary hangtag from Parking Services, the Information Booth or the University Police (after-hours only). This can be done a total of three times during the duration of your parking decal.
Temporary replacement hangtags allow you to park using the same rules as your regular parking hangtag or decal.
Lost or stolen permits and/or decals
If you lose your hangtag and/or registration decal, or if a permit that you have ordered online is lost in the mail, you may replace it. A replacement fee will be charged. If the lost hangtag or decal is later recovered, the fee will be refunded upon return of the second hangtag or decal to Parking Services. If your hangtag and/or decal is stolen, you may receive a replacement, provided that Parking Services is furnished with proof that the theft was reported to the police agency having jurisdiction for the location of the theft offense. A replacement fee will be charged. Individuals in possession of lost or stolen parking hangtags or decals are subject to additional fines, University disciplinary action, and/or arrest.
Parking areas: Visitors
Anyone parking on campus starting at 12:01 a.m. Monday through 4 p.m. Friday must display a valid parking hangtag, parking decal or be parked in a paid space. After 4 p.m. on Friday until 11:59 p.m. Sunday no parking permit is needed to park in a valid parking space, though paid spaces are still in effect. A number of paid options are available for short-term weekday visitors.
Parking by the hour is available at the Parking Garage (overnight parking is allowed) or the Paid Visitor's Lot (snow lot; see below for details). These areas are recommended if you are uncertain how long you will be parked.
Metered parking is available at pay-and-display locations in the Administration Circle and Lots A and B, the Library Tower, Lot M5, Lot Q2 and Lot J at the Innovative Technologies Complex. After you park, proceed to the central pay station for your location. Payment must be made in advance and the pay stations will accept coins, bills and credit or debit cards. Exact change is required. After payment is made, the printed receipt must be placed on your dash in front of the driver's seat with the printed information facing up and readable from outside the vehicle. If the receipt is not present or readable, you will receive a citation.
Short-term parking (maximum 1 ½ hours) is available at traditional coin-operated meters in the following locations: Lot C near the Anderson Center Box Office and near Science 4, Lot E near the East Gym and track, Lot F near the Events Center, Lot F2 near the McGuire Building, Lot G behind the West Gym, Lot H near the tennis courts, Lot M0 near the Nature Preserve, Lot R for the TRIO office, Lot Z and at the Campus Pre-School.
To park in lots other than the Paid Visitor's Lot, the Parking Garage or at meters, visitors may purchase a temporary parking permit for the current daily rate at the Information Booth, Parking Services or University Police (24 hours).
Meters, pay stations, and paid areas are enforced 24 hours a day, every day. Parking permits (hangtags and decals) do not allow unpaid parking in these areas. Exact change is required. No change or bills returned. No refunds given. All sales are final. If one payment method is not being accepted, another must be used (for instance, if credit cards are not being accepted, you must pay by coins or bills). If the machine is out of order, you must find parking in another lot where payment can be made.
Service vehicles
Companies with representatives serving offices or equipment on campus are expected to follow all parking regulations. Parking Services will issue special parking hangtags to service vehicles at the time of their registration. The service permit allows service vehicles to park for a maximum of two hours in specially marked State/Service spaces located in parking lots and near loading docks.
Disability parking
Vehicles in spaces reserved for disability parking must follow parking rules regarding University parking permits, decals and/or paid spaces.
In addition, Binghamton University's Policy and Procedure for Disability Parking requires individuals seeking to park in designated disability parking areas on campus must display a state disability parking hang tag from the vehicle's rear-view mirror or have disability parking license plates on the driven vehicle and comply with all University policies and procedures related to vehicle registration on campus. Drivers do not need to request any specific campus-based disability parking from Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) to park in "Regular Disability Parking" spaces.
Individuals whose disabilities limit them such that the walking distance from "Regular Disability Parking" areas to building destinations is too far may apply to SSD for an "L-permit" parking authorization, providing they have a state disability parking hangtag or disability parking license plates.
Questions may be directed to Services for Students with Disabilities at 607-777-2686.
Commuter lots
The following lots are reserved only for commuter parking from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; no overnight parking (1 to 6 a.m.) is allowed in these lots: Lot B, Lot C, Lot D, Lot E, Lot F3, Lot G, Lot J1, Lot J2, Lot L, Lot O3, Lot O4, Lot P, Lot Q1, Lot Q2, Lot R, and the UDC parking lot. In addition, Lot F3, Lot J1, and Lot J2 are for hangtag holders only (not vehicles with decals).
All commuter lots are also snow lots. See below for more information.
Snow lots
A number of parking areas are designated as snow lots. These lots must be clear of cars seven days a week between 1 and 6 a.m., Nov. 15 to March 30, to allow for snow removal. Vehicles parked in snow lots at these times and dates will be ticketed and/or towed. The snow lots are: All commuter lots listed above, the Library Tower, Lot A, Lot F, Lot F1, Lot F2, Lot G, Lot J, Lot K, Lot M0, M-2, M-3, M-4, Lot M-5, Lot V, Lot W (the Visitor's Paid Lot), and Lot Y2.
Overnight lots
The following lots can be used by anyone with a valid hangtag or decal, 24 hours a day, all year round (metered spaces must still be paid): Lot E1, Lot H, Lot I, Lot M1, Lot N, Lot O1, Lot O2, Lot S1, Lot S2, Lot S3, Lot T, Lot X, Lot Y1, Lot Y3, Lot Z, Lot ZZ north and Lot ZZ south. Lots Y4 and Y5 can be used by anyone with a valid hangtag (but not with a decal), 24 hours a day, all year round.
In addition, the Parking Garage can be used by anyone who pays the hourly or daily rate, or who has purchased a current semesterly or annual Garage Pass.
Hangtag Only lots
A few lots on campus can only be used by people with a currently valid parking hangtag. Vehicles with a parking decal will be ticketed in these lots: Lot F3, Lot J1, Lot J2, Lot Y4, and Lot Y5.
Motorcycles, snowmobiles and trailers
All motorcycles, mopeds, motor scooters, dune buggies and motorbikes must be registered with Parking Services. Those belonging to employees represented by a bargaining unit must display a University registration decal when parked on campus; others must display a parking hangtag. Proof of vehicle registration is required.
All of these vehicles can park in regular parking spaces. Special spaces for motorcycles and mopeds are located in/on: the southwest side of the University Union facing the Engineering Building, near the loading docks of the Engineering Building and the Library, in front of the West Gym, Lot F1, Lot F2, Lot H, Lot J, Lot K, and Lot Q2.
Snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles may not be operated on University grounds without specific permission from the University Police or Parking Services.
Vehicular living quarters may not be parked on University grounds or properties at any time without the permission of the Chief of University Police or his designee.
Disabled vehicles
Disabled vehicles may not be left in roadways, parking lot aisles or other locations where they can interfere with traffic. If your vehicle becomes disabled, move it as quickly as possible to a valid parking space and immediately report the vehicle description, license plate number, location and name of the owner or operator by calling University Police at 607-777-2393. Simply leaving a note on the vehicle is not adequate notification.
Once a vehicle is in a valid parking space and is reported as disabled, University Police or Parking Services at their discretion may give the operator or owner up to 24 hours to make the necessary removal arrangements. Vehicles left more than 24 hours or not in a valid parking space may be towed.
Permission to load and unload
Service roads and residence hall patio areas are strictly reserved for service vehicles. No other vehicle may be operated in these areas without prior permission from University Police at 607-777-2393. If you're granted permission to load or unload, your vehicles four-way emergency flashers must be displayed while the vehicle is in the restricted area. A 20-minute time limit, and a 5-m.p.h. speed limit on service drives, will be strictly enforced. Vehicle operators who do not seek prior permission, who do not use flashers and/or who exceed the time limit may be ticketed and/or towed.

Several weeks ago, the Moultrie News ran an article entitled "Fighting to stay," profiling the very real struggle of one local family fighting their way back from losing their home.
It told the story of Johns Island native Henry Richardson, a father of six with one on the way, working hard to keep his head above water, and Joanne Sarver, an East Cooper nurse who rallied the community in order to help her neighbors in need. Thanks to the generosity of readers and the efforts of Sarver, things for Henry and his family are starting to look up and in the upcoming week they will settle in to their new home.
To date, Sarver and the Sunshine for Sammy charity that she founded have received approximately $4,000 in donations. This money has gone to cover the down payment on a new home for the Richardsons, but the community has also contributed in other ways. Local mothers have collected clothing for the children, a washer and dryer were donated, and the family was able to obtain a new dining room table.
"We got a fantastic response from the community," said Sarver. "Through the article, lots of people learned not only about this particular family, but I think the community who reads the Moultrie News had a very eye-opening experience. We consider Mount Pleasant to be a beachside community where there is a substantial amount of wealth and affluence and I think that people in need are often forgotten because you just don't see it as much. They are sort of the forgotten population."
After hearing of the Richardsons' difficult situation from a close friend whose child was a classmate of the Richardsons' son Sammy, for whom the Sunshine for Sammy charity is named, Sarver decided to do something about it.
"We knew two things for sure," Sarver said of her and her friend. "We knew that this family was in crisis and that somebody needed to do something. From that point, we agreed that this situation should never happen in this community. We have too much. We just have too much for this to exist."
Sarver understands that not everyone in the area is blessed with an excess of cash, but she does understand the community's access to a vast amount of resources. "We are resource-rich people," she said. "And that doesn't mean that everyone in Mount Pleasant is financially rich. I don't mean that. But we are resource rich. We have a lot at our disposal."
The exceptional thing about Sarver is her willingness to act. While most people are willing to identify problems in their community, she took the initiative to right what she saw as wrongs.
After hearing of the Richardsons' problems from her friend, Sarver went out on a limb and contacted Sammy's teachers. As a complete stranger to Sammy and his family, Sarver recognizes the fact that she must have seemed off the rails when she reached out. "I told Sammy's teacher, 'I know you must think I'm insane and I'm a complete stranger, but these children and their parents live in a community that can help them," Sarver said.
From that point, Sarver was able to speak to Sammy's family directly and establish a personal relationship with them that continues to today.
Sarver told Sammy's mother on their very first meeting, "There are people who want to love on you and love on your family ... I know where you're at today, but I am going to work very hard to make sure your tomorrow is different."
And from that day forward, Sarver has managed the Sunshine for Sammy fundraising efforts. "People have continued to call me and say, 'Can they use this?' My garage right now has quite a lot of stuff in it."
But now that Henry and his family have found a new home, Sarver and her husband see no reason why their charity efforts should come to an end. The two are considering establishing their own nonprofit foundation under the name Sunshine for Sammy to help those in crisis. "The overarching truth in my eyes is that if people as common as we are can make a little bit of a difference, how much more can we do," said Sarver. "Life happens. It happens to all of us. One minute, you're perfectly fine and then the next somebody has cancer. One minute, you're fine and the next you've been in a car accident. The Sunshine for Sammy foundation will serve as a bridge from a crisis to a solution."
Sarver understands that many people are ready to help those in need because they have faced hard times themselves. She says the charity won't just be in place to assist families. The charity will aim to help all those in need get on the right track.

Fitness Month: How Rene works out!
February is Fitness Month at iMore and Mobile Nations, and while we're doing a bunch of reviews, and running a ton of contests, I'm curious what you do to get moving and stay in shape? I've always done martial arts, most recently Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Since your body gets used to the same thing after a while, this month I started mixing it up with some stand-up again, mainly Muay Thai.
I'm not a sports fan, so I'm not into playing ball, and while I do body weight training and physio, I don't like weight training much. BJJ and Muay Thai are more like moving chess, and the closest thing to a real life video game I've ever done. Also, the movement is practical, which just seems like a good idea to me.
While I've integrated the iPhone and iPad into my exercises, I haven't found a good way to integrated it into grappling or kick boxing yet, mainly because I can't have it with me, safely, while doing either. I have used it to keep track of rounds, and watch instructionals and fight clips. Mostly, however, they sit in my locker and wait until I'm done.
The video above is an extract from a promotional video we shot last year. It's pretty much what I've been doing 2 or 3 days a week for the last while. (When I'm not doing this!) And yeah, that's Georgia wreaking havoc in the video as well, just like she did in the Otterbox vs. Golla death match a couple years back. She got her husband, me, and several of our friends started, as she is wont to do.
So, what do you do? What are your favorite activities? How do you get your move on? (And don't forget, if you tell us how you use your iPhone or iPad while exercising, you could win a $100 iTunes gift card!)

Fitness Month: How Rene works out!
(Edit Fail)
I began doing a lot of hiking and trail running last Spring and kept at it until it got too dang cold out; and used apps like RunKeeper to map my trail routes; and the Geocaching app to give me an excuse to head a different way from time to time; and of course the Photos app to document the pretty views and walls I climbed.
I also made heavy use of the iPhone's chronograph (and the no-lock-screen Jailbreak app so I could get to it quickly) to keep track of my times on different segments and visualize my improving fitness. I did finally invest in a runner's wrist watch in the fall to make that bit easier though.
When I transitioned to road running, I found I didn't like bouncing my all-glass iPhone around in my pocket so much; so I'm hoping to be able to pick up a lighter and sturdier iPod touch for next season.
Walk nearly five miles a day, six days a week; lift weights twice a week and eat better food. Lost 110 pounds and have kept it off for over a year now following that regimen. Used Runkeeper in the beginning, but once you get into a routine, you don't really need an app any more. Now I just use iPhone to listen to music when working out.
I use my iphone or ipad (or the new ipod nano) via bluetooth with a set of the motorola S10's when running indoors on a treadmill, banging the heavy bag, working groundfighting drills solo on a grounded grappling dummy, etc., etc. and I use my ipad to read my Filipino Martial Arts notes and view training videos while working drills with stick, knife, etc. I have added various beachbody workout videos to my ipad as well so that I can carry my training with me. Then there's the 100 pushup app, the abs apps, Fitness HD, etc.
Insanity DVDs all the way and myfitnesspal to track workouts and food...
I'm a personal trainer of over 20 years. I have over 25 people enrolled in a 90 day fitness challenge which includes a dietary plan, strength training, and cardiovascular exercise. We weigh and measure every 30 days to keep everyone accountable.
Treadmill, skipping, stationary bike.
Treadmill, skipping, stationary bike.
iPhone is used for music while working out....
I'm in a few fitness challenges like a plank challenge & a yoga every damn day challenge that I do via the ChallengeLoop iPhone app www.challengeloop.com
I like things to be simple. As I lift weights in my room and do my own routine without the hassle of others (I'm a bit paranoid when I'm working out and others are 'watching' me), I just show progress of myself, by working out in front of a mirror, and taking pics of myself (ha) on my iPhone 4 in front of the mirror after a week or when I find necessary. Sometimes I will use my iPhone to record my workouts so that I can see how I am doing and maybe what I need to do better the next time. I like to switch it all up so it's not the same old routine which can lead to plateauing easily. And I use my Notes app to jot down what time I worked out, how long, what I did, protein shakes/food etc. That's just easier for me to do and it's all I need to track my fitness as my iPhone 4 is my witness and I get to be so delicious, Muah. ;-) Thanks for the Motivation iMore!
I am currently using Jillian Michaels online program. It's great and the App for the iphone and ipad make it easy to view the exercises and keep track in my daily journal.
I pretty much use my iPhone as a log book to log how much weight I lift, how many sets I do, and how long I work out. For cardio I use "A HIT INTERVAL TIMER" while using machines like Jacobs Ladder
at the gym and elsewhere I use my iphone 5 to log my workout on myfitnesspal and runkeeper. When the new fitbit flex comes out in the spring I will buy that because it will sync via bluetooth to my iphone. oh and I also use my iphone to check into where ever i am with foursquare. needless to say, my iphone never leaves my side and it is also playing my music while i workout!
I run 3-5 miles 3 days a week, I use the app podrunner to keep me motivated, I also do TRX 3 days a week. I use the iPad app iSuspensionHD and icatcher to catch up on podcasts while I'm working out. But usually, I use Slacker, Spotify or Pandora odor music to keep me going to the end of my workout.
I am a big fan of apps for fitness. I have tried a ton but I keep coming back to these favorites.
You are Your Own Gym
Tabata Timer
I developed RipDeck myself. It is my take on the deck of cards workout. I get to combine my two favorite hobbies, app development and fitness.
Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Listening to music
Create and review technique flow charts
Recording "Technique of the Week" content (for customers)
Record notes about techniques or training progress
Watching Training videos

Mother and son launch Triple Threat Sauce businessWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Serena Ortiz
Louis Cullum and his mother, Deb, of Perrysburg, entered the Toledo Farmers' Market Chili Cookoff last month with Aunt Deb's Triple Threat Sauce. When the pair took first place against Tony Packo's, it was the beginning of a new small business that is looking for success.
"Tony Packo's is well-known for their sauce and other businesses in the area, too, and we respect them as small businesses," said Louis, president of the company. Their product, he said, "was voted by Toledo customers and it felt good as a new business."
Aunt Deb's Triple Threat Sauce is a family recipe. Deb worked at a restaurant for almost 40 years. She learned how to make the sauce from the owners and added her own variation to the recipe.
At another restaurant that closed about five years ago, the hot dogs didn't sell well, but with Deb's sauce, they sold out.
"I left the restaurant, but I made the sauce as a favor," Deb said.
She was asked to keep making the sauce and said it sold out every time. The Cullums decided to start selling the sauce because customers have given good feedback and kept asking for it.
Aunt Deb's Triple Threat Sauce is frozen, not canned.
"Sauces taste good at restaurants, but when they're canned, there are added preservatives and it takes away the flavor," Louis said.
The product is made by Tank's Meats of Elmore using Deb's recipe and she asked them not to can it. The sauce can last up to eight months when it's frozen.
"If you add kidney beans and tomato sauce, it makes good chili or chili mac," Louis said.
They keep track of how much is sold and ask that the stores let customers give feedback.
Louis said he hopes that Aunt Deb's Triple Threat Sauce spreads worldwide, but for now, the plan is to stay in the Toledo area. The Cullums would like to sell their product at a booth in the Toledo Farmers' Market in spring. In the meantime, they will keep sampling, talking to people and meeting with them. He is grateful for the support they have received from small businesses.
"It means a lot that stores are taking us in," he said.
"Without my son, who does the selling and the hard labor," Deb said, "it probably wouldn't have gone anywhere."
Aunt Deb's Triple Threat Sauce is sold at Sautter's Markets in Waterville and Sylvania, Kazmaier's Market in Perrysburg, Schorling's 5-Star Market on Bancroft Street and Erie Food Market on Galena Street. The product is also available at Monnette's Market on Secor Road, House of Meats in Oregon and Point Place and FoodTown on West Central Avenue.
Mike Eisel, manager at Sautter's Food Center in Waterville, said they carry Aunt Deb's Triple Threat Sauce because "It's a good product and we had a demo first. There was customer support and they liked it. That's the reason and it's also a local company."
"It's locally made and it's a good product. I tried and I liked it. It sells well," said John DeFalco Sr., owner of Monnette's Market.

Two of the Lehigh Valley's best-known nonprofit leaders are leaving their posts.
Sally Gammon, the president and CEO of Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network in Allentown since 1997, has announced her intention to retire in 2013.
Meanwhile, the Allentown Rescue Mission announced that it has parted ways with its executive director, Gary Millspaugh, as part of an ongoing reorganization.
Gammon said she does intend to remain involved with Good Shepherd and the local community after her retirement.
She spearheaded the organization's transformation from a local rehabilitation services provider and operator of a home for the disabled to a nationally recognized leader in post-acute health care.
The high-energy senior executive carved out a reputation for combining creative, visionary leadership and pragmatic business acumen within rapidly changing environments.
The Good Shepherd Board of Trustees noted that it has commenced a search for the organization's next president and CEO.
The Allentown Rescue Mission's board of directors is close to hiring a chief executive officer for the mission and will release more information as soon as it is available.
"The mission deeply appreciates Gary's contributions and the leadership he displayed during his tenure as executive director," said Tom Gibson, Allentown Rescue Mission board president.

What luck! The ZKG Shoe sample Zhik sent APS is my exact size, and I get to be first to try them out. These shoes are so comfortable - I'm going to get pair and using them as soon as dinghy season is in full swing!
Zhik unveils their new range of innovative footwear, and it's in the shape of a sneaker! Don't be fooled, this is a super functional sailing shoe made almost entirely of neoprene.
The ZKG Sailing Shoe is extremely lightweight and bends in every direction. The soles give you just the right amount of grip you need for traction on the boat. The perforated upper part of the shoe is made of neoprene and a breathable fabric that dries fast when your shoes are wet. To note, this shoe is designed to be worn in wet marine conditions. The soles feature small drainage holes to allow water flow out of the shoe to keep your feet comfortable and relatively dry. A flexible gum rubber sole offers limitless movement. The tongue on the shoe is built into the body. When you tighten the laces, the shoe fits snugly around your foot. You simply slide them on like any regular wet shoe.
I've tried these on several times and find them to be extremely comfortable! The ZKG shoe would be perfect for dinghy sailing. Your choice to wear socks or not - though, I suggest no socks. In the realm of sailing shoe styles and designs, this shoe is by the far the most unique. It looks similar to a skating sneaker or a pair of Chuck Taylors, and the fact that it's almost entirely neoprene is pretty spectacular. If you want to check out a short video for a full 360° view of the shoes, see video below. I'm excited to get the chance to try them out dinghy sailing this summer to see how they hold up. Look forward to my follow up with a full review!

KONAMI TAPS McFARLANE'S MONSTERS FIGURES FOR NEW VIDEO GAME
'McFarlane's Evil Prophecy' Features 10 Todd-designed Characters
Friday, May 02, 2003
It's the early 19th century, and the world is filled with chaos. Six great Evils awaken -- Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf, Voodoo Queen, Sea Creature and Mummy -- and the only force standing between them and the end of the world is four monster hunters controlled by an outside influence ... the PS2 gamer.
The McFarlane's Monsters Series 1 action figure line, released in 2002, now comes to life as McFarlane's Evil Prophecy, a new PS2 game from Konami. McFarlane's Evil Prophecy, slated for release in November 2003, is an intense action adventure game that will be officially unveiled at this month's E3 event. The six "evils" and four "hunters" are all Todd McFarlane-designed characters.
This is the fourth collaboration between Konami and McFarlane. Past projects include an early Spawn game and two highly successful Metal Gear Solid action figure lines co-developed with Kojima-san, the famed game creator.
"I have a good existing relationship with Konami," said Todd. "We've worked directly with Kojima-san on the Metal Gear Solid figures and we released Spawn on Color GameBoy with Konami in the 1990s. My various companies have had positive experiences with the company in the past. We know they do great work."
It appears 2003 will be the year of gaming for Todd and the McFarlane companies. As mentioned last week, Todd and Namco have hooked up for two gaming projects - SOULCALIBUR II and a new Spawn game. With everything we have going on, Todd will have two signings and a gaggle of media interviews at E3 on May 14.
E3, or Electronic Entertainment Expo, is a trade-only show not open to the general public and attendees must be 18 and over. However, many in the spawn.com audience are part of the "industry" in some way and may be there on May 14.
Todd will be joining the Konami team for a signing from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM at their booth. Later in the day, from 2:45 to 3:45 PM, Todd will be at the Namco booth for another signing. In between and after the signings, he'll be interviewing with a number of the gaming media. Check out www.e3expo.com to get registration information and more about the show. And check out the regular gaming news sites and magazines for Todd's interviews after the show ends.

the loneliness of the long-distance blogger
I think there's something a little similar to blogging. Not that people particularly care about bloggers as people. But there's a related interchange involving ideas. What happens is, readers read certain bloggers and start to love what they say. This is often a product of that blogger cogently expressing ideas or feelings the reader him or herself has had but couldn't or didn't express in the same way. Some of the most potent blogger crushes (for lack of a better term) come from this attraction-through articulation. When you read someone who says something you believe in, and says it in an intelligent or beautiful way, and it happens several times in a row, you develop an affection for that person's ideas and writing.
But those things tend not to last. Bloggers have to write a lot. The reality of posting several times a day, usually a prerequisite of having an audience, is that you end up sharing many, many of your thoughts and opinions. No two people, meanwhile, have identical ideas, and the curious thing is that you tend to be more disenchanted by the small differences in your ideas with someone else than in big, glaring disagreements. We tend to be most annoyed with the people who are most like us. Personally, I think it's pretty common for someone to discover a blog, love it immediately, then end up disillusioned by one disagreement or another. Whereas someone who has more profound disagreements, or who just isn't quite as initially enthused, will keep a more even keel throughout. Or so it seems to me.
I do think that there's sometimes more space for people who disagree a lot to get along, blog-wise, than there are for people who are largely in agreement. Internecine argument can be the most vicious kind. Fellow commenters at Megan McArdle's place sometimes ask her why she continues to put up with me. (Her patience is indeed the stuff of legend.) Partly it's because Megan is a cool and laid back person. (Lest my screeds against libertarianism convince you I am a zealot, it should be clear that I have great affection for MegArdle.) Another reason, though, is because we disagree so fundamentally that there isn't much invested in our disagreement. Because we aren't involved in the same philosophical or ideological project, we can just sort of shoot the breeze and snark at each other and not get too mad. Whereas if we were battling for the soul of an ideology, or whatever, there would be more at stake.
Speaking of blog crushes, you should be reading Elizabeth Nolan Brown. That's one that shows little sign of waning for me.

I think there's also the possibility of coming to like the blogger as a person through what they write. As you've said, bloggers write a lot, and it's all but impossible to prevent one's personality from showing through in the process of cranking out a few thousands words a week. I find this far more interesting than the mere ideological differences, as I tend to start from the assumption that I'm going to disagree with most people--even most Christians.
So yeah, you're an atheist existentialist, and I'm a confessional Christian, but hey, who cares? You, like Megan and the pomocons, are a person who articulates interesting ideas well, and I'm far more interested in knowing why you believe the things that you seem to than in whether or not your ideas fit perfectly with my own personal ideology. The don't, and I don't give a damn. I hope this comes through in my comments, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if I mess that up on a regular basis.

Oh, goodness. Now I am guaranteed to unintentionally post something you vehemently disagree within, like, the next day. ;-)
For now, I agree completely with what you said about the small differences mattering more than the big. I can find myself not really being bothered in the slightest that most of the other bloggers at Ladyblog think everything I say is blasphemous, and vice versa, and even still find myself commenting lightheartedly and without animosity on their lighthearted posts. But a few weeks ago I remember being very disappointed when I found out about some minor divergence of viewpoint with something Peter Suderman, whom I normally agree with all the time, wrote (although, I know him in real life, so that may be different). I suppose it's really not just a blogging thing, though — it's the same way with people you generally agree with and disagree with in the real world, too.
Anyway, I think the larger more interesting thing is what you mentioned in the first paragraph, the para-social relationships people develop via blogs and—oh god, even worse—twitter. I have so many para-social twitter relationships right now it's frightening ...

i approach bloggers, or writers in general, a little differently. i think this might be because i don't easily get "crushes" or fall in love with things. Instead the key question is whether the blogger has something worthwhile to offer me for my time.
so, broadly speaking i read and like three kinds of blogs (which overlap):
1) news and reporting blogs, i.e. Ben Smith @ Politico. Smith's function is to aggregate a lot of information in digestible ways. What I don't want from these blogs is excessive editorializing--the less i know about their personal opinions, the better (analysis is fine).
2)) blogs that make fun of people i don't like. Balloon Juice is a great example. there is little i enjoy more than relaxing behind my computer after a hard day's work, popping open a can of beer, and read John Cole take down the latest wingnut asshattery (recent post: "The Final Middle Finger As He Drifts Off Into the Sunset"). It's a wonderfully cathartic experience. now, i have many ideological disagreements with Cole. but that doesn't matter so much; the important thing is that we share a common enemy. he gives voice to my deep hatred for wingnuts in profoundly beautiful ways--for that, all else is forgiven. this category of blogs most closely resembles what Freddie is talking about in the OP.
3) blogs from which i can learn things. that doesn't mean i like the blogger or that I share the blogger's ideas. John Derbyshire is one of my favorite bloggers and I don't agree with him on anything. But I LEARN a lot from reading him; he always has interesting, weird, unexpected things to say (or link to) which helps me deepen my own thinking. this is a very diverse category of blogs: L'Hote, Andrew Sullivan, Calculated Risk, The Corner, Digby, etc. are all included.
The running strain through all these categories is a respect for the work that these bloggers put out, whether that's good reporting or good snark or good thought. Respect is, i think, something very different from liking or agreeing. It's some combination of ethos plus earned trust. for example, i think megan mccardle is a perfectly nice person. But I don't respect her work (even when i agree with what she's saying); and therefore i don't read her.
anyway that's how i view things.

Hey raft, regarding your second point, you might want to take a look at dickipedia.org
It's not really a blog but I'm sure you will find some folks you don't like.
As you might guess by the name it's a parody of Wicki.
It's cute but I got tired of it pretty quickly.
