2018 Spring Training Dates for Volunteers will be announced shortly, stay tuned!
We Rely Heavily on the Help of Our Volunteers.
Volunteers are a critical part of the day-to-day functioning of our organization, performing a variety of tasks such as direct work with women and children, hotline advocacy, administrative work, shelter clean-ups, children's parties, maintenance projects and much more.
Volunteer Positions:
Helpline Advocate
Answers our 24-hour domestic violence helpline. Provides callers with referral information, emotional support, and safety planning. Provides resources to men and women in crisis. Conducts emergency intakes for women and children who are candidates for shelter.
Meals that Heal Program
Individuals and groups of volunteers are needed to donate and prepare meals to the emergency shelter residents. Meals should feed approximately 25 women and 25 children. Pre-cooked meals should be dropped off at shelter for lunch or dinner. This opportunity is available 7 days a week. For more information, click here.
Childcare Assistant
Assists mothers and shelter staff with childcare in shelter or at community support group sites. Duties include supervising children during support groups for survivors of domestic violence, reading to and playing with children, and/or creating group activities. Childcare assistants are particularly important because they allow parents to get the help that they need without having to worry about their children's safety. Must be available in the evening.
Fundraising Committee Member
Work as part of the team planning and organizing one of DVCAC's annual fundraising events. Assist with obtaining auction/raffle items, event sponsors and advertisers, oversee event details/creative elements and help to publicize the event. Opportunities are available throughout the year.
Community Educator
Assist staff with local community speaking engagements. Staff resource tables and provide basic domestic violence information at health fairs, career fairs, and other community based functions.
Donation Assistant
Assist staff with inventory and disbursement of donated items, returning donor phone calls, and picking up donations.
Required Training:
All volunteers are required to submit an application, which is available here. Once your application is accepted, there will be an interview to discuss volunteer opportunities and answer any questions.
Volunteers must then attend one of our three annual DVCAC volunteer training classes. A background check is required before training and will be paid for by the volunteer (usually around $40) The volunteer training program is a comprehensive 20-hour course which typically occurs over a two week period and includes an online component. Attendance for all sessions is mandatory.
Those interested in volunteering in a non-direct service capacity are required to participate in a shortened 3-hour training session.
If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out our volunteer application form online or download a copy Volunteer Application.pdf and fax to 216.229.2474, or mail to Attn: Development Department, DVCAC, P.O. Box 5466, Cleveland, OH 44101.
Volunteer Manual:
If you are a current volunteer and would like to access our Volunteer Training Manual, please click here.
DVCAC also offers internships/field placement experience for students in social work, counseling and related fields. For more information regarding field placements at 216.229.2420 x 229 or email@example.com.

Make Retail Presence through RMU
Several ways have been devised for small time retailers to establish retail presence in the market centre. One of the best ways is RMU. It is also considered to be the easiest and the quickest. These retail merchandising unit help in gaining confidence of the customers by giving them a sense of stability and permanence. These units are also commonly Common Area Stores and Mall Carts and do not take much time to get ready.
Another name of RMU is retail kiosks are of a special purpose as they are customized with various accessories so that the small shop becomes a popular destination for shoppers and is also an alternative for popular storefronts for small time retailers.
To make these kiosks appealing, accessories like Retail fixtures, shelves and visual merchandising are added. They give the stores a new look and feel and attract more customer traffic. Usually placed in areas where the number if regular shoppers and other food joints are high, these RMUs have a 360 degree exposure. Another two places that are considered to be appropriate are in the centre of a large space or along a wall. These kiosks are designed by trained in-house designers and material expertise.
No matter what is a retailers requirement, these designers help create a well furnished set up, regardless of the size, be it a big location with sophisticated demand or small with compact settings. When dealing with small spaces, these designers make sure that an optimal use is made of the vertical space present without increasing the distance of the products from the eye level of the customers.
Adding to all this, RMUs increase impulse purchases as the customers can touch and feel the products and not just look at them. They add a new dimension to a person is shopping experience.

For those of you who are new vegetarians or simply dislike eating meat, you may wonder where your protein should be coming from. What are the best foods that have protien?
Protein is essential to human nutrition. It is especially important to consume a good amount of protein after a workout that includes weight training. Protein helps to build and restore muscle.
Good sources of non-animal protein can come from a number of places. The most common and accessible sources of protein are as follows:
Beans, Nuts & Seeds: Items such as peanuts, cashews, pinto beans, lentils and sesame seeds are great sources of protein and can be added to almost any dish.
Dairy Items: Assuming that you are not practicing veganism, dairy products can be a great way to get some extra protein. You might try things like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and eggs for protein sources.
Vegetables: Finding room for broccoli, spinach and peas also helps to add a little protein to your diet. These are the kind of items that you can have with your dinner or even a salad.
There are various ways to add protein to your diet but these are just the most common and natural ways to do it. You may also want to look into protein powders and shakes if none of the above options appeal to you.

Warsaw, Poland — Marzena Rogalska is the host of Question for Breakfast, a popular TV show in Poland similar to the TODAY Show here in the United States. On this episode, Marzena has a special guest who happens to be a magician. But not just any magician — this guy was a semifinalist on Poland's Got Talent. So he's not on the wizard level of David Blaine or Chris Angel, but he's working his way up the magic ladder.
The magician puts three brown paper bags in front of Marzena, and one of those bags contains a nail. The magician tells her to choose a bag to slam her hand onto. If she chooses correctly, she gets to choose again. But if she chooses incorrectly, she gets a sharp object impaled through her hand. What could possibly go wrong…right?
As you guessed it, Marzena chooses the wrong bag and immediately starts whimpering in excruciating pain. She was rushed off stage and taken to the hospital where doctors administered antibiotics and a tetanus shot.
Warning: Don't Try This At Home. This Guy Is a Professional.

text: Changed the front shocks on my 86 5Kna Saturday - used the official 2069 tool kindly lent to me by Chris Semple. Easy job if you have the right tool! 1) use red marker pen to outline the three washers on the top mount - that way they can go back to the same places, and no wheel alignment needed (nomex on). 2) remove large nut at shock top, remove top mount, pull out bump stop. 3) drop 2069 down the hole, engage with shock retainer collar, apply grunt to breaker bar, unscrew cap - easy! 4) pull old, dead shock out of strut. 5) clean strut housing (nothing in there), add 30 ccs (estimated) of oil, slide new shock down into hole. Anybody know what the oil does? 6) slide 2069 tool back down over new shock . . . and here's where it gets interesting. With the top mount off, the strut sort of waves in the breeze. Used a broomstick to "prop" the strut more or less into alignment, all of a sudden, everything slips right into place. 7) tighten shock retainer collar to specified value (130 ft lbs, torque wernch only goes to 100, so torque to 100 + one carefully calibrated grunt) 8) slide top cover back over shock, press down (jacking up the front of the car makes this MUCH easier!!!!!) to start the three retainer nuts. 9) run them down to just short of snug, and tap the top plate into alignment - red marker rings and washers should re-align. 10) add top nut, tighten everything up, all done. 11) repeat for other side. Total time for both was about 1.5 hours, including 20 minutes of cleaning up a damaged thread (1.5mm) on one shock - banged up in shipment, no more in town, and I can't go get it anyway since the car is all took apart. No big deal, I have a metric thread file - worth its weight in gold, too! The tool goes back into UPS tomorrow, with my great thanks! Best Regards, Mike Arman

with the patina? thanks!
I hope will patina to a clean orangy tan would look hot with the light blue gray cream background.
i have had my azur speedy since nov and it is now starting to darken. if you do a search i posted pics a while ago. I LOVE IT with patina and i can't wait for it to get darker. it looks soooo much better IMO
I too have had it since Nov and there's a light patina already. It looks really lovely, I have to agree with sirenized and say it looks way better than when the vachetta was really pale! Even PHH thinks so I'll try to take pics when the clouds go away and post them later.
oh- thank yuo both so much!!!
Ditto - I have had mine since Nov. and it is starting to get darker. I really notice it when I look at the pictures of it that I took when it was new. I love the darker patina, matches the cream and gold so much better imo!
I also have mine since November like whistlerchic but I didn't use it often. Less than 5 times. I hate dark Patina and I think it will look ugly on Azur.
Anyway, mine is still like new.
I'm wondering myself how it will look a few years down the line. So I must say im slightly hesitant to get more than 1 large azur bag though ive been constantly obsessive over a few. I got a used azur speedy from elux that i sent back It had a light patina (like a 6 month old bag that was lightly used) and it looked great. But... im not sure about how good it would look when it gets really dark.
mmm I am not sure how the patina will look on my azur Speedy, dreading it really!
I have seen pics and think it looks nice.
Hope that helps
Don't like it...LOVE IT!
ooooooh totally love it with that pic!

"All the world's a stage … ."
Deciding how to classify a book once it's written is a difficult task for many authors. A multitude of categories exist, but which ones are best for a book? These categories usually appear on the back cover. But to complicate things … book vendors utilize different categories, i.e., Amazon v. Barnes and Noble. And many titles span several categories or genres. So this simple sounding question actually can be a puzzle.
My forthcoming book, The Silence of Morning: A Memoir of Time Undone, is clearly memoir. But, more specifically, it's also spiritual memoir because spiritual growth is a major theme in the book. The other key theme in my book is suicide and sudden loss. The experience of grief in the moment, and over time. And since my background is in sociology, culture and society are also significant themes. Every person is greatly impacted by societal forces. Sometimes we're too young to realize we are being "socialized," but it's happening all the time. Culture exists at many levels of society — family, educational, political, and so on. For instance, in my memoir I look closely at our "addictive culture" — how it manifests in so many guises, how the root causes are constantly overlooked, obscured.
Then, of course, there is the matter of what is "literature" and what is not — a very subjective measure, by the way.
So I'm still mulling all of this around. Trying to determine the best categories — the ones that will make the book easy to find, the ones that are the most accurate in light of the content. It seems that most books are discovered by word-of-mouth … readers sharing something about a book that they loved. But some readers run a search on a topic, hoping to discover something intriguing.
The easiest approach would be to simply categorize the book as memoir. But that isn't very specific or illuminating, is it?
It's sort of like saying the sky is blue.
Right, but what shade of blue?
- "I need the shade of blue that rips your heart out. You don't see that type of blue around here."
― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon
Of course more important than book category, I hope the book lives up to its promise … it may depend on what each reader brings to it … level of consciousness, lived experience, and so on. The Silence of Morning was very difficult to write, but whenever I delve into it (edits) I feel enormous gratitude for its message, its refuge from the storm. And a sense of abiding love comes into my awareness as I remember the son of 27 years who seemingly left our world with this unspoken message: I did the best I could.
In the end that's all any of us can do, and I feel deeply honored to bring Matt's journey (and mine) to life in ways that might help others. I need to mention, however, that the book won't be an "easy read" … a "quick read" … and I've avoided a chronological approach whenever possible. Life isn't nearly as linear as we imagine; life happens in many layers (some fuzzy, some distinct and overpowering), and we often (usually?) understand things much better as we evolve … as we integrate today into remembered history.
- "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances." ~ Shakespeare
Thank you so much for stopping by this creative sunny space for kindred spirits. SunnyRoomStudio, launched in early 2010, has also been a place of refuge, understanding, and joy (a bridge of peace, connection, and friendship); the many wonderful (inspiring and talented) friends met here are appreciated beyond measure. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude. It's never easy to talk about the death of a loved one, but it's even more daunting to make the experience meaningful to others. Finding my public voice on topics like grief, suicide, addiction (our addictive culture), and intense spiritual growth often felt like a momentous challenge.
- But now, after wading into these deep waters, I trust that something inspiring and meaningful, even beautiful, has been created.
As I recently wrote in a guest blog post called "An Eternal Heartbeat" (thank you again Susan Weidener, founder of the Women's Writing Circle and recent guest in SunnyRoomStudio),"my eight year journey has not been so much about healing" (a word greatly overworked by our goal-oriented culture), but more about finding the courage to better understand the entirety of life. An entirety that includes endings.
This, by the way, is a mission we are ALL on regardless of personal circumstances. We may not be aware of it, but each breath prepares us for inevitable endings by leading us to a deepening awareness of the realities of life completion.

Will keep you advised re availability.
HOW do you find books? Key words in a search, friends, pure luck?
Any suggestions re book categories?

- Always Returning: The Wisdom of Place (a second edition of my first book) is about digging into our surroundings to unearth an organic, timeless wisdom. If you're looking for inspiration or want to lean more about a landscape, a place, that helped me unearth my spiritual roots, this may be a book for you. We are all wiser than we think; it's just a matter of tapping into what we already know. -dh
When we value the journey itself, new realities are revealed amidst the old.

CEC Petition – Fight the budget cuts in D6!
District 6, Northern Manhattan has been unfairly targeted by the DOE for years. On top of co-locations we have had received budget cuts totally more than 10 million in less than 10 years. Many times the biggest cuts happening at co-located schools. Very few of the co-locations were community supported and the methods in which OPM/DOE engaged community is questionable. D6 has struggled, our children are better, deserve better and we demand better. We know we have a lot of work to do in Northern Manhattan schools but it begins with the community, in the community. As parents we must dream not just for ourselves but for our children and not allow the DOE to limit their dreams any longer. PLS SIGN this petition an spread the word. We need as much support as possible! After some investigations, much of this is false and we are still being asked to proceed with public hearing in early October before a PEP vote in October. We are not going to accept this and are asking for ALL parents to stand with us as we begin to take back our district and take a stand with against more co-locations in our community. Pls sign and spread the word! Big Thanks from Northern Manhattan!

CHICAGO - Illinois Lieut. Gov. Pat Quinn - who would take the reins of state government if the General Assembly acts to remove Gov. Rod Blagojevich - yesterday named a former federal prosecutor to lead an ethics panel with the charge of overhauling state government.
"I think we need to fumigate state government," Quinn said yesterday following a sold-out luncheon address at the City Club of Chicago in which he announced the formation of the panel to be led by Patrick Collins. Collins led the federal government's case against former Gov. George Ryan, who was convicted in 2006 of corrupt practices during his tenure as secretary of state.
The panel, which will include roughly a dozen members, is expected to come up with recommendations aimed at reforming state government either legislatively or by executive order. The move comes as a House vote to impeach the governor is expected as soon as later this week.
The governor was arrested on various pay-to-play charges last month, including an allegation that he attempted to personally profit from his ability to name President-elect Barack Obama's Senate replacement. He has so far resisted calls to resign. The charges are forcing the state "to focus like a laser" on reform, Quinn said.
Collins, a partner at Perkins Coie, said based on his 12 years of experience as a prosecutor he believes Illinois politics from the local to the state level is steeped in a "culture of corruption." He hopes to complete a report with reform ideas by early April. "The time is now to do something."
Collins said campaign finance reforms are likely to be a key part of the package since every public corruption investigation he has worked on involved campaign fundraising abuses. The governor is charged with seeking $2.5 million in campaign contributions from various businesses and individuals that were to benefit from state financing help or legislation by the end of last year.
New ethics rules that took affect last week ban large state contractors from donating to the state's constitutional officers. It is unclear how lawmakers might react to sweeping ethics and campaign reforms, given the difficulties in reaching consensus on the most recent rules.
Should Quinn become governor, the most pressing operational issue he faces is a looming $2 billion to $2.5 billion deficit in the $59 billion fiscal 2009 budget, and pressure will be on to craft a fiscal 2010 budget.
Quinn acknowledged in his remarks the state's record $4 billion backlog of bills and said the state needs to preserve its credit by promoting economic development. He offered few specifics, however, saying that if he takes office he would work with state budget officials, the comptroller, and the treasurer to determine the scope of the state's fiscal mess.
The fiscal costs of the political turmoil resulting from the governor's scandal contributed to negative credit action from all three rating agencies in recent weeks.
Fitch Ratings downgraded Illinois to AA-minus from AA, in part due to concerns the scandal might impede its ability to resolve the deficit. Standard & Poor's put the state's AA long-term rating on negative CreditWatch for similar reasons. Moody's Investors Service assigned a MIG-2 on the $1.4 billion note issue that sold last month, down from the MIG-1 rating on the state's last note issue in April. The state treasurer said the downgrades added $20 million in interest costs to the deal.
On the legislative front, the House special impeachment committee continues to meet to discuss impeachment. House leaders have said the chamber could vote as soon as this week. If a majority of members vote for impeachment, a trial would held in the Senate where a two-thirds majority would be needed to remove the governor.
The most pressing political issue awaiting Quinn is the vacant Senate seat. Blagojevich late last month named former state comptroller and attorney general Roland Burris to the post, amid widespread calls to leave the seat open given the taint of the pending charges.
Yesterday, the Secretary of the Senate refused to accept Burris' nomination certificate from a Blagojevich aide because it lacked the signature of Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White. Burris has asked the Illinois Supreme Court to force White to sign the certificate. Burris will meet this week with U.S. Senate leaders. Although Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has said Democrats would not seat Burris today, he has not ruled out the possibility.
Quinn yesterday noted his decades-long friendship with Burris but called his decision to accept Blagojevich's nomination a "mistake."
Quinn said he believes only a nominee not selected by the governor should be seated and wants the General Assembly to pass legislation setting a special election to fill the seat which could be done as soon as this spring. He wants the legislation to include a provision that would allow a future governor to name a replacement until the special election.
In other developments yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge James Holderman granted U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's request for a 90-day extension to April 7th to indict Blagojevich, citing the complexity of the case.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested the governor on Dec. 9 along with his then-chief of staff John Harris on pay-to-play charges outlined in a 76-page criminal complaint. Federal prosecutors had faced a 30-day deadline to seek a formal indictment.

Never sleep in the woods. Sleep near others, or at least take extra care if you're sleeping alone. Use the "pouch system" — multiple sleeping bags and a comforter — on cold nights. Rely on prayer and don't lose faith.
These are just a few of the lessons that Kenneth learned during his 25 years on the streets of D.C. Originally from North Carolina, Kenneth found himself homeless and spent years sleeping behind the police headquarters and in a gazebo in Montrose Park.
But now, Kenneth is adjusting to a new life in a condo. "It's really nice and everything is new," he says of his new living space, a brand new building with units for veterans and homeless individuals. In his new home, he can keep up with his favorite shows. Transitioning from living outside to life in a new apartment is quite an adjustment. "It's nice," he reports, "but your mind and body have to adjust to the new situation." He still goes outside and moves around so that his new place doesn't feel too small and confined. But watching the snow from inside definitely beats sleeping out in it — Winter Storm Stella is the first snow storm he saw from inside.
Kenneth credits GMC with getting him started on the road to housing. He's known about GMC since it was a single room with no showers, laundry, or bathrooms. Before coming to GMC, Kenneth didn't have any of the identification needed to get housing. GMC assisted him in getting a birth certificate, ID and SSI benefits, and then referred him to our partners at Miriam's Kitchen for a housing placement. After 25 years of homelessness, Kenneth was able to get into housing in only 2.5 months. "You guys started the process," he says of GMC. "If it hadn't been for y'all I wouldn't have anything. So thank you so much."
— Sarah Hartley & David Finnegan-Hosey
Want to help more guests like Kenneth? Between now and May 31, we are once again working to raise $10,000 to receive a matching $10,000 grant from the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation. We hope you'll join with us and help us meet the match!

John sat beside Mary as she suffered through major contractions. Her hand gripped Johns stronger than any force he'd ever felt before. John forced a smile as he coached her along. The contractions subsided for a moment and Mary stared at John. "Call Sherlock?" She asked. "He will be the godfather after all" a smile crept onto her face. Sherlock was becoming as much of a family to her as John was. He had kept her secrets and kept her safe. He even shit a man to do so.
"Will you be fine without me?" John asked. Worried about her being alone even for just a moment.
Mary shuttered in pain. "For a minute" she forced a smile. "Hurry go" she laughed.
John stepped into the hall and clicked the speed dial for Sherlock. The phone rang, and rang, until Sherlocks voice creeped over the line. "John?"
"Mary is in labor" he chucked. "She wants you here. We're at Bart's."
"Let me get dressed." He muttered "I will be there!"
"We'll be waiting" John laughed, excited his best friend would share this life changing moment with him.
He hung up and made his way back in to Mary. Her contractions got stronger and John raced to her side and gave her his hand once again. Mary continued to suffer as their daughter refused to appear. John stayed beside her, putting up with her death grip, coaching her on bit by bit. Mary screamed as she gave one last push and the nurse held up a small pink baby. "Congratulations Mr and Mrs Watson, it's a boy."
"A boy?" Mary shouted, out of breath.
"A boy?" John echoed, standing to take a look.
"Yes, a boy." The nurse set him down on Mary's chest.
"They said it was a girl!" Mary shouted in pain and confusion.
Mary and John stared at their new born child. The one they had thought to be a girl. "It's William then" John spoke at last.
"William?" Mary kept her eyes on her baby. "I like it, where'd you come up with that?"
"Sherlock." He smiled. "He told me"
"What did I tell you?" Sherlock voice rang through the room.
John and Mary looked to see Sherlock standing in the doorway.
"Sherlock!" John jumped up and ran to him, wrapping his arms tightly around him.
"It's a boy" Sherlock said, looking over his shoulder at the child wrapped on Mary's arms. "You said it was a girl"
"Were naming him William" John smiled.
"William Watson" Mary called for Sherlock to come closer and see him. "Any news?" She whispered as he got within ear shot.
Sherlock simply shook his head and shrugged. "Mycroft is working on a lead."
"Keep working." Mary kissed his cheek. "You got this."
They crowded around the hospital room, cooing over the small boy. Little by little more people showed up, congratulating them both and staying around to chat. Sherlock sat himself into a large red chair beside the window. He watched the people come and go, and occasionally talked to them when they spoke first. He was becoming increasingly bored. He didn't understand it, he didn't understand their obsession with a wrinkly, pink, bundle of skin and bones.
It was a useless thing, not capable of doing anything for himself. There was no need for this show of people to awe over it. A baby, just a baby, not a hero, not a soldier, just a baby. Sherlock had never been one to get along with anybody, let alone younger ones. He didn't understand them, he couldn't read them, he was left on,y with the impression of helpless, and that word made him shutter.
He thought about Cecelia's offer of drugs from that morning. He had wanted strongly to give into to her. But he refrained, taking from her only more cigarettes to relax himself slightly. But as he thought more her words clouded his mind. I can make you normal. Sherlock had longed to be normal, since childhood. He stared at the wall, remembering the warm feeling he had encountered not too long again on his case. He reassured everyone, including himself it had been for just a case. People had been afraid once they found out, Molly, Mycroft, Mary, John.
John, John had said if he ever felt the urge to go back to talk to him. Sherlock stared at him, a large smile plastered over his face as he watched the baby in Mary's arms. John was happy, John was safe. Sherlock however was afraid. He stood up and walked slowly to John. "Can I speak to you for a moment?"
John looked at Sherlock inquisitively. "Yeah." He nodded and led Sherlock out of the room and into the hall. "Is everything okay?"
Sherlock stared at John for a moment, remembering his immense anger from the previous time. Sure this time he was sober, but he knew Johns reaction would be similar. He watched John, the new father, a smile fading from his face as he waited for Sherlock to speak. "Congratulations John" Sherlock smiled and hugged John. Johns own smile returned.
"Thank you Sherlock" He smiled. "Anything else?"
"Give this to Molly when you see her." He pulled out the small jar from his pocket and faked a smile as John took it.
"You're clean then?" John asked, reassuring himself.
"Check the sample" Sherlock nodded.
"I'm proud of you" John hugged him again.
"I think I'll be heading back to Backer Street" he nodded. "Drop by soon" Sherlock and John dispersed as Sherlock walked down the hall and away from the hustle of the moment. The night drifted in through the windows covering the wall. Sherlock pulled out the folded piece of paper from his coat and looked over the address. "Show me" he mumbled to himself. "Show me how to be normal"

There's a question for the same functionality on Blackberry, and a few different threads referred to this bug (which has since been closed without resolution as far as I can tell), but I haven't found one specifically for Android.

I had the same issue. There are two ways of getting this to work:
What I use now. Change the icon yourself with something like this in

boolean menusEnabled = reachedEndOfSlidehow(); // enable or disable?
MenuItem item = menu.findItem(R.id.menu_next_slide);

Retired Staff Sergeant Alonzo Lunsford, 46, who is 6ft 9 ins tall, was left blind in his left eye after being shot in the face and still has a bullet in his back, but was able to walk to the witness box.
During his testimony he locked his gaze repeatedly on the paralysed Hasan who stared back impassively from his wheelchair.
Mr Lunsford told the court he was working as a health care specialist administering medical tests when Hasan opened fire in his building at the Fort Hood military base in Texas in November 2009, causing a "state of panic."
He described how one heroic doctor rushed out of a cubicle and charged Hasan with a chair, only to be gunned down.
Mr Lunsford said: "Hasan was shooting soldiers and at this point all the chairs are everywhere. Some soldiers are on the ground, some are trying to hide behind chairs.
"I'm lying in the prone position. People at the back were trying to get out and there was a bottle neck. There were two double doors and only one was opening."
He decided to get up and make a move to the back door only a few steps away but Hasan turned on him.
He said: "Major Hasan had a laser on his gun and it came across my line of sight. I blinked because I didn't want to look directly into it.
"Then he discharged the weapon and the first round hit me in the head. I got knocked back, two steps back, and hit the floor. I'm lying face down trying to get to a desk and then I'm hit again in my back.
"At this point I decided to play dead. When I was lying there I did a self-assessment on myself. I realised dead men don't sweat.
"My right eye could see the back door and blood is pooling under my head.
Then I made my sprint for the back door.
"My plan was to exit the building and go to the left because the grass is real high, and to run in a zigzag to get to the parking lot, to get my jeep."
But coming out the door there was a drop and he started to fall.
He said: "As I'm tumbling out of that door I'm hit again.
"Then I'm lying in the grass. Major Hasan comes outside and he is shooting.
Major Hasan drops a mag and reloads and continued to shoot while I'm being triaged."

Noire (PC game), the game reconstructs a huge part of Los Angeles, the Grand Theft Auto games, Chinatown, The Black Dahlia, L.A. Confidential, playing the game is kind of like revisiting that period, oh hey I'm in the middle of an investigation here, games vs. books, Robert B. Parker co-wrote the final Marlowe book Poodle Springs, Ray Porter's narration, female voices, the Joe Ledger series by Jonathan Maberry, the Mexican characters, Elliot Gould's narrations, nicely abridged, he's a weird speaker, a Robert Altman movie, what is lost was all those Chandlerisms, a collapse of characters, well what have you got now, the movie starts with a cat, Michael Connelly, there's something cool happening in that 3 o'clock in the morning, the cat abandons him, the cat is Sylvia Lennox, you can't lie to a cat, they demand truth, the sunrises and the sunsets in the Japanese version, the colour of a sunset and a Japanese print, the things that they take, two BBC radio adaptations, a LIVE TV movie in 1954 (now lost).

CBC: The Mystery Project: Flynn – RADIO DRAMA
Filed under: Audio Drama, Aural Noir, News
Fynn was a thirteen episode radio drama series of The Mystery Project (CBC Radio's long running series featuring original radio drama produced in Canada and the UK). Flynn aired weekly in the Fall of 1994. Its eponymous hero was a private detective who lived on a sailboat in Vancouver harbour. The show was recorded in Vancouver too.
Here's the description from the Thrilling Detective website:
"A middle-aged drop-out from UBC Law School , he now lives on the "Blarney Boy", a weather-beaten sloop moored at the marina on Granville Island in the trendier-than-thou False Creek area, and works, when he feels like it, for his ex-boss lawyer Sam Greene, an eccentric old coot. All in all, though, he'd rather be sailing. It's a simple life, and Flynn's more than happy with things just the way they are. And then Sam's niece, W.P. (Willie) Greene, arrives from Toronto to complicate life for everyone."
Written by Lyal and Barbara Brown
Produced and Directed by Don Kowalchuck

Booktaker by Bill Pronzini

My first Nameless detective audiobook experience was about twenty years ago. But I haven't been keeping up. The Nameless stories are old fashioned PI tales, with a kind of everyman protagonist working the mostly unkind streets of San Fransisco. If you haven't heard of the Nameless private detective check out the excellent ThrillingDetective.com page dedicated to Bill Pronzini's anonymous dick. Then, to get you started check out the new FREE audiboook about nameless. Produced by AudioGo (what used to be called BBC Audiobooks America [and Chivers Audio before that]), I've huffduffed it too.

Recent Arrivals: Audio Realms and Dark Realms Audio
Filed under: Recent Arrivals
Here's a stack of mostly horror titles that have been inching their way into my dreams! It's a solid mix of public domain novels (and collections) along with brand spanking new series and standalones. Check out Brian Keene's modern horror tale, Castaways (its at the bottom). Keene writes comics, it may be the best place to start with the modern stuff! With regards to the PD material, I'm torn between People Of The Dark, which includes my favorite Conan story Queen Of The Black Coast, and Algernon Blackwood's The Empty House And Other Ghost Stories. All of these titles should also be available in MP3-CD editions and MP3 download editions via TheAudiobookShop.com too.
A novel idea, take several of the modern issues of Weird Tales, and make an audiobook out of it…

Publisher: Audio Realms
Published: August, 2009

This new world is populated by a race of monstrous Martians, whose culture is based on the ability to fight for their race.

John Carter battles ferocious Martian creatures, but gains the respect of the beautiful Dejah Thoris, Princes of Helium. This is the first of eleven in the 'Mars' series.
This is the second novel in a new series, but I'm betting that wouldn't effect the story one whit…

The Empty House And Other Stories
By Algernon Blackwood; Read by Brian Holsopple
6 CDs – Approx. 6 Hours [UNABRIDGED]
Publisher: Audio Realms
Published: August 2009
Most connoisseurs of modern horror fiction rate Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) as the finest horror writer of all time. Blackwood was unsurpassed in originality, atmosphere, and characterization. His finest works still surprise and shock today's readers. The Empty House And Other Stories, originally published in 1906, was Blackwood's first collection. It includes such classics as the title story, A Haunted Island, A Suspicious Gift, and many more.
This one sounds like a reverse Marco Polo story, with dragons, sorcerers and magic instead of pasta…

But demons and dragons, and mages and monsters pursued the warrior across the wintry plains and the jagged mountains. His swords flashing with fury, Gonji battles his foes and strengthened his will, determined to conquer his hardships, and fulfill his destiny!
Apparently this is the first in a series, perhaps something along the lines of Jim Butcher's Dresden series?
