Book Description
Stories and trivia from a beloved Kent Institution Meet Me at Ray's celebrates more than seventy-five successful years (and counting) of Ray's Place, a restaurant and bar located near the Kent State University campus in Kent, Ohio. Once referred to as the place "where the hustlers meet to hustle the hustlers," Ray's Place has survived decades of trends, changes, and events. Hundreds of students have worked there, thousands of customers have dined there, and millions of glasses have been raised there. In Meet Me at Ray's, author Patrick O'Connor features the stories, memories, and experiences of the legions of customers and employees who have made Ray's Place what it's been since 1937. Rooted in the hearts, minds, and experiences of the people who know it best, it is an "organic" story. Through humorous and poignant personal anecdotes, readers will come to know what makes Ray's Place special and how important that is to the surrounding community. O'Connor has collected stories dating from 1943 to the present, including one declaring Ray's Place the first sports bar in the United States. This book features the history of the eatery and its owners, including Charlie Thomas, the owner since 1978. Through the long history of the restaurant, four different owners have sustained the connections between local residents and Kent State University employees, students, and alumni. For literally thousands, Ray's Place is synonymous with Kent State University and Kent, Ohio. A wealth of Ray's Place trivia, traditions, and fun facts are complemented by photographs and original artwork that help tell the unique story of this Northeast Ohio institution.

Book Description
In the course of his twenty-five years of exile, Badī’uzzaman suffered three terms of imprisonment together with varying numbers of his students, and the treatises he wrote during each of these he later included in the Risāla-i Nūr. In The Rays Collection are “fruits” from all three of his sojourns in the Madrasa-i Yûsufiya, as he called prison, recalling the unjust imprisonment of Joseph (UWP) and that prison is essentially a place of education and training. The Second Ray was the final fruit of Eskişehir Prison (1935-’36), while The Eleventh Ray has as its name Meyve Risalesi, The Fruits of Belief, and was written for his fellow prisoners in Denizli Prison (1943-’44). It consists of eleven Topics, which offer irrefutable proofs of the six main pillars of faith. The last two of the Topics, however, were written in Emirdağ, Badī’uzzaman’s place of compulsory resi dence after Emirdağ.

Book Description
Ever revel in the wonder of your inner world? Ever wonder if ours is a universe that smiles with us when we grow and evolve, and its processes are nurturance to that end? Meet Me at the Apex smiles, and yet it will shake you from your comfort zone and goad you toward transcendence---whatever your path. This novel is hilarious at times and will carry you to heights of joy, and yet is capable of dragging you through pits of sorrow; it is sublime and ethereal, and yet there are moments when it is sensual, raw and earthy; it is iconoclastic and controversial, and yet it celebrates as sacred each person's belief and path. This diary of protagonist Joshua Denton's 3-day stream of consciousness while buckled by illness forces readers to inspect even their most entrenched beliefs, whether God-fearing or atheistic. His hiatus quickly becomes a luring toward epiphany, his path to which is intense processing of events and enigmas.

Book Description
Trussell Jones has a problem. He is crazy in love with a beautiful girl named Ellen. The problem? He has no car. His stepmother, who believes that she is spiritually connected to Queen Victoria, won't let him drive. Furthermore, she is afraid Trussell is trying to kill her. Not to be overlooked is the fact that Trussell is being pursued by a gang of armed redneck motorcycle hoods, while his neighbors are preoccupied with changing visions of St. Francis. Just another heartwarming tale of a boy in love with a girl? Hardly. This delightfully quixotic coming-of-age story, set in Columbus, Georgia in the 1950s, truly has something to shock and beguile even the most jaded reader. Its irreverent protagonist will take you on a road trip of hits, near misses, twists, and sudden turns that'll set you on your ear. You'll be unable to put the book down, until you reach its charming yet totally unpredictable conclusion.

Book Description
The main focus is on degenerative disk disease. After four spinal surgeries, I was still able to work. However, it was in 1984 that a spinal fusion with implants of Harrington rods was performed. I was told that the fusion was doing very well again and again. I was told by the surgeon that I could go back to work. This never happened. Comments from people who have read my story: "I like the fact that you explained the medical terms. This will be a warning for all not to trust without questioning." (A.A) "The most telling part (for me) is not the lies, the dishonesty, the deceit, the awful legal and medical system you had to wade through to find some 'justice' or in your case 'injustice'; but rather your story of re-inventing yourself, graduating at the age of 64, is very inspiring Ð which gives life to the concept, 'it is never too late to start'." (Dr.F.E) "You should have a message on the front like, "WARNING: This book may cause your blood pressure to rise suddenly!" Interesting reading as it not only draws in the reader, but evokes strong feelings-especially from those of us who are reliant on the medical profession, and anger that you had to go through that-gggrrr!! You also demonstrate the problems with lawyers and law suits. After reading this very informative book, my eyes were opened to what can happen when undergoing surgery. The pain, suffering and horror of this lady's struggle to get back to a life with meaning after she had spinal surgery, left her dependent on a wheel chair for the rest of her life. This is a harrowing tale of trusting a surgeon whose mistakes were made not just because of technical difficulties but because of inexcusable carelessness! " (B.L.}
