1957 Aston Martin DB 2/4 Mark III
Chassis No. AM300/3/1319
Engine No. DBA/937
Body No. TS.116 by Tickord
Factory Fitted Equipment: Instruction Book, Twin SU type HD8 carburetors, Alfin drum brakes, Dunlop Roadspeed tires, Armstrong shock absorbers
- Numbers-Matching & Exceptionally Original
- Offered with a full Aston Martin British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate
- A very early 2/4 MkIII - Striking Original Colors
- Incredible Barn-Find, Presented as Found in Running Condition!
Offered here is a very early example of the newly redesigned 2/4 MKIII in LHD North American specification. Constructed May 16, 1957 and dispatched eleven days later on the 27th to British Motor Car Distributors Inc., USA, finished in Storm Grey paintwork over Red Connolly Leather upholstery. Records from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust confirm the original factory specifications, as well as warranty services to mid-1959.
Throughout late 1960s and early 1970s, the Aston Martin resided in Columbus, Ohio, where it appears to have been driven and enjoyed quite regularly. In fact, several matchbooks, miscellaneous articles, a preserved newspaper and license plates from 1973 remain with the Aston today - evidence the car was garaged soon after.
Presented as it was discovered, this incredibly preserved example displays an entirely original interior cabin, along with numbers-matching mechanicals, original wheels, glass, trim and auxiliaries throughout. The paint color was changed to blue many years ago, while the factory's Storm Grey paint is still present on the dashboard and engine bay. After a careful inspection and tune-up, the car starts and runs after all of these years, the engine sounds good although we do not recommend driving the car on public roads until a full assessment and complete service is done.
Accompanying the sale is an exclusive Aston Martin Heritage Certificate Folder containing the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, period Aston Martin sales brochure copy, period photo and copies of the original Aston Martin build cards. This remarkable DB 2/4 Mark III Saloon is the ideal candidate to preserve as original or take to the next level - Worthy of closer inspection as it is a rare treat to come across an example such as this.

Price: $259,500 negotiable

Today's Deadly Destination is from Jocelynn Drake's Gage on Low Town from THE ASYLUM INTERVIEWS: BRONX (Published by Harper Voyager on July 3, 2012). Want to win a copy? Enter via the widget below.
**Visit Dark Faerie Tales today for her Deadly Destination from M.J. Scott & a chance to win BLOOD KIN**
Jocelynn Drake's Gage Powell on Low Town from THE ASYLUM INTERVIEWS: BRONX
I talked to that author I work with, Jocelynn Drake, recently and she mentioned that people were interested in visiting Low Town. My first reaction was naturally, "You're kidding, right?" but she was dead serious. She suggested that I supply a quick guide to out-of-towners wanting a little adventure.
First, Low Town is in the Midwest, which means we get more snow than Florida and less snow than Montana each winter (unless the Winter Court decides to come to town and then you're just better off vacationing at the South Pole because there'll be less snow there). In the summer, it's hot. Fry an egg on the sidewalk hot. And no, it's not a dry heat.
If you happen to be a shape-shifter, you'll need to check in with the local packs to get approval to come into their territory. Jackson Wagnalls is the alpha for the Low Town werewolf pack. He's an okay guy, but I wouldn't mention my name since he's not a fan of mine. (I still think he's blowing that whole Chihuahua thing out of proportion.) Of course, if you're a vampire, you'll also need to swing by one of the local nests for approval as well. We have two nests in town. There are also several troll-friendly hotels in the area if you're the type that's extremely allergic to sunlight.
Low Town is like any medium-sized city. We've got skyscrapers (the tallest being Lindner Tower). We've got a zoo, theaters, and sports arenas, but you want the off-the-beaten path, 50-cent tour, right?
First, if you're looking for something sweet, on the south side of town, there's a little pastry and sweets shop called Brownie Delights. I've been told that the things they do with chocolate are worth killing for (though they haven't reported any deaths in over three years). I don't stop at the shop because I don't trust the fey when it comes to food.
On the more adult end, there is a great tapas bar called Warm & Toasted. The place has an excellent selection of wines, coffees, and empanadas. Also, the place has become quite popular with vampires since they recently set up an agreement with local blood bank to keep in stock a few types of blood each night. Just be sure to have your BBC (Blood Bank Card) on hand if you wish to order. (Keep in mind this is the more slacks and collared shirt crowd.)
If you're looking for more of the vintage rock T-shirt and jeans crowd, head over to Cock's Crow. The bar is wall-to-wall awesome with rock music blasted over the speakers when there isn't a live band in the back. The owner Dolan caters to all types. He's even set up some smaller tables on ledges near the ceiling for the pixies and faeries, but I wouldn't advise sitting under them as they tend to spill their drinks as the night wears on. The other nice thing is that since Dolan is a minotaur, the fights are kept to a minimum (except on Wednesday night – half-price shots and domestic beers for ogres and trolls).
If you're a fan of good beer and German food, head over to Strauss Haus Restaurant and Bier Garten. They have the best imported beer selection on tap in the city and Tuesday night is half-priced sauerkraut balls. (But watch out for Fridays, there's a wandering polka band. Also, don't mention my name to the seating hostess. She's a siren and doesn't like me much at the moment either.)
For a real adventure, or maybe just a wild bachelor/bachelorette party, I suggest Miss Holly's Hot House. Hidden in a quiet neighborhood, the succubus-run brothel employs only succubi and incubi, and caters to nearly every fantasy. (Don't worry, they are regulated by the health department.)
And what visit to Low Town would be complete without a new tattoo to show your friends when you get home? Asylum Tattoo Parlor is just down the street from Strauss Haus. Get Trixie, Bronx, or me to give you some fresh ink. Want to forget about this vacation completely? I've got the right potion that can help with that too.
You're going to have a great time in Low Town. If not, I can help you forget!
Gage Powell, tattoo artist and owner of Asylum Tattoo Parlor
[Dear Gage, Are you trying to scare people away? Also, I believe this is a family-friendly site. I don't think you need to include a BROTHEL in your highlights. Thanks, Jocelynn]
[Dear Jocelynn, I think most people need a trip to a brothel while on vacation. I'm keeping it in. Thanks, Gage]
Low Town is a wild and strange place filled with the dangerous and unexpected. Follow tattoo artist Gage Powell on his adventures through Low Town in the Asylum Tales with his friends Bronx and Trixie. The novella THE ASYLUM INTERVIEWS: BRONX is now available on e-book, and THE ASYLUM INTERVIEWS: TRIXIE will be released as an e-book on September 4. The first novel, ANGEL'S INK, will be available in on October 16.

3 ecopies of THE ASYLUM INTERVIEWS: BRONX by Jocelynn Drake
Published by Harper Voyager on July 3, 2012
In Low Town, where humans walk and work side-by-side with elves, vampires, ogres, and all manner of creature, it's understandable that people occasionally need a little help in their lives. Whether is love, work, or … other, tattoo artists are there to try to help turn the odds into your favor. When Gage's friend Parker needs help with his love life, tattoo artists Gage and Bronx are only too happy to help. But the incubus ends up getting more than he bargained for with his new tattoo, and his friends are forced to scramble to fix the mess they've created before someone gets hurt.

At first I thought, wow, the Strauss Haus Restaurant and Bier Garten hasgood beer and German food, sign me up!, but when I saw that there's a wandering polka band on Fridays, I decided that I should stay away , lol!
OMG! What a cover! My mouth is watering!
Thanks for the giveaway. I love the cover. I can't wait to read this book. What inspired you to be a writer? Please enter me in contest. [email protected]
thanks for the giveaway!!!
This series sounds fantastic! I can't wait to read them. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. I would love to have a chance to read and review The Asylum Interviews at The Reading Cafe.
I know you've written from Danaus's point of view before, but I was wondering, is it hard to write from the male p.o.v.? I feel like that would definitely be a little more challenging than writing from the female perspective. So, was this at all challenging? Or at least needing to switch into the different male p.o.v.?
Love the cover. Yum!
Victoria, I started writing when I was 12 because I loved books and I have all these stories locked in my head. Writing seemed to be the only way to get all the stories out. Unfortunately, for every story I wrote, two more would appear in my head. I guess I just have to keep writing.
Jessica S., Writing from a man's POV can definitely be tricky. Men view things differently and deal with their emotions differently. Writing from Gage's POV means keeping all that in mind. But at the same time, it has been a lot of fun because Gage doesn't watch his mouth and he says the first thing that comes to mind. Letting his mouth get him in trouble can be so much fun!
Sounds like a very nice place to vacation! I'm looking forward to see what adventures await there! Thanks for the giveway!
Jocelynn – who do you read when you have the time? Thanks for the contest!
My reading typically depends on my mood. If I need something with a happy ending, I will usually read either some historical romances or maybe some light paranormal romance like Lynsay Sands or Kerrelyn Sparks. When I need something darker or grittier, I go for Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim series or I've recently started on JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood. My reading is mostly in urban fantasy or fantasy. I love Jim Butcher, Kim Harrison, Simon Green, Raymond Feist, Pamela Palmer, and many many more.
Sounds really good! Thanks for the chance to win!
I was going to ask 'how in the world did you come up with this world?', but then I realized, I don't really want to know that. I just want to read it!
this sounds like an awesome read. I want some of that chocolate. Thanks for the giveaway
I adore the covers! so yummy!!
Have this series on my list to read. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have been reading wonderful things about this series and can't wait to give it a try.
Playing matchmaker always has unexpected consequences.
Yes! And you almost never see a bunch of guys trying to tackle this subject. It was fun to tackle this subject.
I can't wait to read this series! I am a huge fan of the Dark Days series!!
Man, I can not wait for this series to start!! It sounds fantastic!!
Love the covers!!!
The book sounds good.
I am loving the cover! Really eye catching. Thanks for the chance.
Great giveaway and one I can enter!! Wooohoo!!
I loved the Dark Days series so I'm very exited to read this new series by Jocelynn drake. I'm also intrigued about the tattoo aspect of the story.
Thanks for the fantastic series! I'll have to look out for it when I go book shopping.
Interesting! Can't wait to read!
A world where all types of creatures co-exist…I have to read that!
I loved your Dark Day's series and Mira is one of my all time Fav. characters! I can't wait to dive into this new series!
Jocelynn, have you got any tattoos? Were you already familiar with tattoo shops or did you have to research?
I love the covers of your books, what sort of things do you do before you start to write to help you get in the spirit and also to inspire you? Thanks for the giveaway!
I haven't read this series yet. What is wrong with me? Time for me to start and hopefully I can have one of them as a free ebook.
These books sound awesome, thanks for the giveaway!!! Is this your favorite genre to write?

immature muscadines falling off
Any muscadine growers out there? I am growing Ison, a higher lattitude variety of Supreme. My vines do great every year. Highly productive, very little disease, etc. Its July 28. I just went out and looked at the vines, and there are immature grapes all over the ground! Perhaps 20% have fallen off! If I gently shake the vines more fall off. We have had sufficient rain. No big differences from years past. I see no fungal issues. Perplexed. Looking for an explanation. Thanks for any offers.
Where are you?
Are you in a drought like most of the south?
No, we have had sufficient rain, so thats not it.
Are the stems of the clusters turning to wood?
Not sure. I will check. What does it mean if they are?
If they are, the mother plant has given up on the grapes.
Berries falling off is termed "shattering". Google for grape bunch shatter or similar term.

High school artwork is making a beautiful difference inside of a place most people don't like to go. International Baccalaureate students from Jim Hill high school presented sixty decorated breast cancer awareness pillow cases to the CEO and staff at Woman's Hospital in Flowood.
The pillow cases are painted with inspiring words like hope, survive, courage and joy. The ninth and tenth graders created the pillow cases after completing a project on breast cancer in their art class.
"We're happy that we were able to make pillow cases because we want to let the patients know that just because they've been diagnosed with this disease doesn't mean the end has come its not a death sentence and they can conquer it," said 10th grade student, Shikinah Washington.
Woman's Hospital CEO Sherry Pitts said, "we'll give them {the pillows} to our patients here that register and have surgery here at Woman's Hospital and they'll cherish them as they go home.
Jim Hill art teacher Felicia Reese came up with the creative pillow case idea. It was part of the student's health and social education service project.

If Kimye can show us anything, it's that we still have a long way to go when it comes to smashing gender roles.
Masculinity and femininity are social constructs. But in the church, the uncertainty that extends from such constructs has led to a boxed in vision of gender that helps no one.
The suit, filed on behalf of a child born with an intersex condition, claims social workers and doctors violated his constitutional rights by assigning him a biological sex shortly after birth.
The decision marks the first time a state court has ruled that students must be allowed to use restrooms of the gender with which they identify. Federal courts have not yet ruled on the issue.
According to a new federal complaint, gender non-conforming students in one Mississippi school district faced daily abuse and harassment by fellow students and teachers.
While there have been recent transgender rights victories for students in California and Colorado, there are also plenty of roadblocks in guaranteeing equal representation and protection.
I know for a fact that I will be doubling my order of Thin Mints this year in support of a national organization that welcomes, supports, and empowers all girls.
Whether we're talking about someone we want to have sex with, someone we want to call a boyfriend/girlfriend — or both — the key is to be true to yourself and about yourself.
Our culture struggles with the notion of how gender ought to manifest — that there are fixed recognizable differences in the look and function of sex organs, presence of hormones and type of chromosomes that generate two distinct and bounded categories: male and female. And therefore man and woman. But actually, there aren't.
Roundup: What's Next for Clinton, Doulas Behind Bars, the Michael Gerson Watch and the APA on Gender Dysphoria
Doris Kearns Goodwin offers ideas on Clinton's next steps, doulas assist mothers behind bars, Population Action International gives Michael Gerson a reality check, and the APA considers removing gender identity disorder from the DSM-V.

Ericsson sues Samsung in patent dispute
February 27, 6:10 a.m. PDT
Sweden's Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson has filed a lawsuit in four countries against Samsung Electronics after the two companies failed to reach an agreement on royalty payments for the use of patents. The lawsuits were filed in Germany, the Netherlands, the U.K., and the U.S. The two companies had originally signed a license agreement in 2002, allowing Samsung to use essential patents from Ericsson for GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), and EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) technologies, Ericsson said. The Swedish telecommunications equipment manufacturer was one of several manufacturers, mostly from Europe, that created the GSM standard and continues to hold essential patents for the technology. Samsung could not be immediately reached. A representative for Ericsson declined to say when the company expected to end the dispute or what amounts Ericsson is seeking. Patent infringement and licensing disputes aren't uncommon in the communications sector where companies can spend billions of dollars on research and development and are prepared to sue to protect their investments.
Sony, NEC to establish optical disc joint venture
February 27, 6:10 a.m. PDT
Sony and NEC signed a definitive agreement on Monday to combine their optical disc drive businesses into a single company. The new company, Sony NEC Optiarc, will start business on April 3 and will be headed by Shinichi Yamamura, who is currently deputy president of Sony's video business group. Sony will own 55 percent of the new company and NEC will hold the remaining 45 percent stake. The company will handle the optical drive businesses of both companies including manufacturing, marketing, and sales of drives for the Sony-backed Blu-ray Disc technology and NEC-backed HD-DVD technology. It will also handle development and engineering of optical drives. The merger will take advantage of complementary technologies: NEC has expertise in optical-disc LSI (large scale integrated circuit) chip technology while Sony is strong in optical pick-ups. Both companies are already major manufacturers of optical disc drives.

Fall Play poster #hatersgonnahate
Gary Oak
Places in Film I'd Love to Visit**
↳ Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar in Jurassic Park I, II, III
** by visit I totally mean under the circumstances that I won't be used for bait, chased after, stomped on, ripped to shreds and/or eaten.
Watch me Rise - Have Heart
Greatest boss battle in any game.
Fuck your catchy one liners, fuck your dress to impress, can go fuck yourselves with that trendy shit, fuck your bad attitudes, fuck your weak high class, fuck all you pretenders keep your life of trash.
Empty days and lonely nights
Provide a blueprint for the things I write
So when people ask me, I know just what to say
The thought of you helps me wake up every day
And I don't believe in fate
The only fate is the fate you make
So I'll keep my nose to the grindstone
Cause that's all that I can do
I've got good friends that help me too
And someday I will get back to you
On the back of my hand is the number she wrote
I'll call her when my whole world goes up in smoke
Until then I'll wonder what could have been
Cause everything works itself out in the end

REPORT: Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard feuding, had to be separated
They couldn't make it two months.
The New York Daily News is reporting that not only are the two Lakers superstars not enjoying each other's company, they had to be separated in the locker room after their New Year's Day loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
A league source told the Daily News that the Lakers stars got into a heated exchange following a New Year's Day loss to the 76ers, and Bryant went for a low blow – referencing and agreeing with Shaquille O'Neal's criticisms of Howard being soft.
The one time Kobe finally agrees with Shaq, and it's about Dwight? For crying out loud. Oh, and it doesn't stop there:
Howard was restrained from going at his teammate, according to the source.
Quotes from Lakers' players in recent weeks have ranged from the seemingly innocuous, to downright poisonous. This gem, from Dwight Howard, takes the cake:
"We have to play like we like each other. Even if we don't want to be friends off the court."
So, that's a wrap on the Lakers' 2012-2013 season, but what happens now?
Clearly, Kobe's not going anywhere, but Dwight's the Lakers' future (supposedly). Will Dwight want to re-sign this Summer, knowing Kobe's coming back (and that Kobe hates him)? If Dwight is open to re-signing (the Lakers have his Bird Rights, and can pay him far more money to stay in LA than any other team), would the team be able to convince these two to play together? Would that even make sense? Do the Lakers believe Dwight will ever be 100% again?
Will Kobe push for a trade, or is Kobe an expert on knowing how to win with a teammate he hates? The talk has been about moving Pau Gasol, but if LA can swap Dwight Howard for Kevin Love, do they pull the trigger? Is this report, from an anonymous source in New York City (the Nets would have all the reason in the world to make this up) legitimate?
Lots of dumb questions need to be answered. Stay tuned!

According to Maressa Hecht Orzack, Ph.D. from McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA. our society is becoming more and more "computer dependent" not only for information but for fun also. Computer dependency affects people from all ages. Kids get hooked up with games and adults with chats and pornographic sites. Some persons look in the computer a solution to their overwhelming problems and they become addicts to it. They usually turn to the Internet to play games in an attempt to overcome their anxiety, to change moods or to distract themselves for their problems. Instead of solving problems computers create more. Mothers have difficulties getting their children to do chores when computers occupy all theirs after school time. Wives find their husbands neglecting their families and their phone bills get high by using the on-line service number.
Computers are useful devices that using them in excess creates problems at home, at school and at work. At home people can experiment the same problems I have plus many more. A husband whom his first priority is to check his email leaving his family life to last, and as extreme case they could cause divorce. At school the problems are also critical. Some kids don't turn in their homework because they didn't have time to do it. They fell sleep in classes because they stay up late playing games in the computer, and their grades start falling down, the lose interest in any thing that doesn't have to do with computer games. People also have problems at work related with the computer dependency. Employees start to fall behind at work and they start missing days often because they don't want to move away from the computer. According to Ph.D. Maressa Hetch these are all examples of a condition called "computer addiction", "Internet Addictive Disorder or Cyberaddiction". It affects family, friends and co-workers. Computer addicts are like gamblers. They compulsively keep investing their money and time. They think that the next connection they make will solve all their problems. (http://www.computeraddiction.com/).
The Computer Addiction Service at McLean Hospital,has found out the reasons why people become computer and Internet addicts. They recognized that persons with computer addiction turn to the Internet or play computer games for different reasons: attempting to change moods, to overcome anxiety, to deal with depression, to reduce their loneliness, to distract themselves from the overwhelming problems and sometimes like my husband just to have fun. This problem affects people from all ages. Elderly as well as children and adolescents become computer addict because they may not realize the extent of their dependency. Many times people with addiction to computers seek help to treat another condition such as depression and phobias and after that evaluation they find out that a diagnosis of computer addiction is rendered. The evaluation of those behaviors related to computer addition involve the use of standard measures of stress, depression and anxiety as well as especially designed scales for the evaluation of computer addiction. (http://www.mclean.harvard.edu/brochures/br-compu_outpt.htm).
According to James Fearing Ph.D., there exist lots of symptoms of computer addiction, and they are easy to detect. People addicted lose control when trying to stop and they keep on playing, braking promises to self or others. They become dishonest to recognize the amount of time spent on the computer and about the type of activities they where participating on the computer. They possess an overdeveloped sense of importance for the computer in ones life, and defend the right to use the computer as much as desired, regardless of the fact that people in their life are feeling neglected. Those with computer addiction experiment feeling of euphoria, combined with feelings of guilt brought on by the excessive time spent on the computer or by the abnormal behavior acted out while using the computer. Feelings of depression or anxiety are also shown when someone shortens their time or interrupts their plans to use the computer. They are always worried with the computer activities when they are not using them or when they are doing something else. Sometimes they find themselves using the computers at times when they feel uncomfortable, irritated or sad about something happening in their lives. They hide out on the computer trying to relieve their pains.
Internet Addiction covers a large variety of behaviors and impulse-control problems. According to the Center for On-Line Addiction almost 6% of 17,251 respondents in an online survey met the criteria for compulsive Internet use and more then 30% report using the Internet to escape from negative feelings. There are five specific types of Internet addiction and the warning signs to detect them are visible. When the addicted person is boring his or her friends, when the person starts making excuses to use the computer. When this person visits frequently the Geek Stores and spends long time there. When the addicted person spend long time sitting in front of the computer and he/she denied it caring less about anything else but his/her task.
From the person surveyed, the vast majority admitted to have feeling of time distortion, accelerated intimacy, and feeling uninhibited when they were at the computer on-line. Among the behaviors we can find Cybersexual Addiction, where the individuals who suffer it are engaged in viewing, downloading, and trading online pornography or involved in adult fantasy role-play chat rooms. Cyber-Relational Addition, is a behavior where the individuals become over involved in online relationships and sometimes they may engage in virtual adultery. These online friends quickly become more important to the individual and this in many instances lead to marital problems and family instability. Net gaming encloses a broad category of behaviors including obsessive gambling, gaming, shopping and stock trading. These individuals use virtual casinos, interactive games, e-brokerage houses and lose large amounts of money which disrupt other job-related duties or important relationships. Information Overload is another type of Internet addiction that affects to certain individuals. Due to the wealth of data available on the Internet, individuals are becoming every time more compulsive web searchers. They spend greater amounts of time searching and collecting information. Obsessive tendencies and reduced work productivity are associated with this behavior. Computer Addiction is the last type of addiction where individuals involved in game playing become problematic in organizational settings. As employees those individuals spend most days playing rather than working. (http://netaddiction.com/whatis.htm)
Besides of the Psychological symptoms there exist also the physical symptoms that warn us about computer addiction. Individuals who spend long hours typing at the computer start experimenting wrist pains or Carpal tunnel syndrome. Dry eyes are the result of spending many hours in front of the computer. Migraine headaches are also experimented for people who have computer addiction. Individuals who are addicted to the computer create bad habits such as eating irregularities and failure to attend to personal hygiene. Those individuals frequently suffer from sleep disturbances and changes in sleep patterns, which on time affect their daily life. (http://visionary2000.com/getalite/index.htm).
Services and treatment are provided for computer and Internet addicts based on a severe evaluation of the symptoms of the patient. The evaluation involves use of standard measures of depression, stress, anxiety, impulse control as well as specially designed scales to measure computer addiction. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to assess educational performance, work attainments and interpersonal relationships. There exist programs to offer services and treatment to individuals, to business, to schools, and to community organizations.
The programs to provide assistance to computer and Internet addicts offer different services. The primary treatment used for individual cases is cognitive behavior therapy. If necessary, medication treatment may be recommended. Through these treatments, patients learn how to identify the signs and symptoms of computer addiction and learn to copy skills to normalize their behavior. They also learn the appropriate use of computers in work, family, educational and recreational roles. It is also recommended to attend at support groups. These programs train personnel to help troubled employees both individually and trough on site workshops. At school, they train healthcare personnel, teachers, school administrators, student advisers and counselors to watch for signs and symptoms of students at risk. Through these programs information is provided to parents and other concerned individuals to help students learn coping skills to avoid these problems. The programs also give informational lectures and interviews to media, community and religious groups, so they can spread out that information. (http://www.intervention.com/defns.html#compadd).
Computer addiction and Internet addiction has been identified by many professionals and the media. Family therapists hear about those behaviors frequently. Clinical psychiatric news report increasing complains related to computer use. At colleges and Universities, Deans and counselors of students report increases of inappropriate and excessive computer use. Even comics are using computer addiction in their sarcastic jokes to address the problems that many individuals lately face. Some entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the problem to sell some devises that pretend relieve the addiction to the computer. Lawyers find out that compulsive computer use can be a cause of divorce and I personally agree with them. The computer at home is very useful when I need to do research works but my husband behavior related with it is affecting our relationship. Now my doubts regarding of computer behavior problems have disappeared. I learned that computer addiction exists and I also know that there exist some help to anyone who needs it. I also learned that like any other addiction problem this is not going to be easy to solve. There exist barriers such as denial that difficult the rehabilitation but nothing is impossible when we really want to be helped.

Get Your Free Savings Analysis:
School bells are just starting to ring and most of us are just beginning to admit that summer 2012 is history. While you've been busy school shopping and barbecuing, the logistics experts at BirdDog Solutions have been making a list of the top four lessons shippers should have learned from last year's holiday spend and present them to you as tips for this year.. Check it twice to make sure your business is on track for the holiday season.
Tip 1: Have an Expedited Shipping Strategy
The annual holiday countdown intensifies as weeks turn into days and then into hours. Here are three things you can start working on now to ensure that your products arrive on time without breaking your budget:
- Are you locked in a retail store agreement that requires same-day shipments? Use your carrier network to your advantage and reduce expedited shipping costs.
- Don't forget to factor in fuel when budgeting for expedited shipping. In 2011 expedited shipping fuel surcharge (UPS/FedEx Air 14%) cost 61% more than deferred shipping (UPS/FedEx Ground 8.5%)..
- Have a guaranteed delivery strategy to ensure that as shipping volume increases you have an economical solution for meeting tight delivery timelines.
Tip 2: Use Your Shipping Data to Determine the Best Mode
Make sure you are taking full advantage of your small parcel contracts. Even at the height of the holiday rush, take the time to analyze your fulfillment needs. Knowing when it makes sense to ship less-than-truckload vs. small parcel will reduce your transportation costs. Knowing the proper weight break can make the difference between making and blowing your budget.
Tip 3: Partner with Your Carriers
Building partnerships with reputable carriers is a solid strategy that will serve you well any time of the year. The importance of a good business relationship becomes increasingly important during the holiday season and other peak periods. To prepare for this year's holiday rush, analyze your transportation needs and communicate your expectations to your carriers. The carriers worth partnering with will be happy to allocate resources to support your increased volume, and customized pick-up and delivery times.
Tip 4: Don't Just Rely on What Your Carriers Are Telling You
Far too many shippers have learned the hard way that you can't believe everything a carrier tells you. Before the holiday selling season reaches full swing be sure that you have access to information on your carriers' actual performance not just what they want you to know. Visibility, through a third-party portal, will help you ensure that your customers are getting the best service possible.
BirdDog Solutions clients save an average of 10% to 20% off their shipping costs. To learn how much you can save, click here to request a Free Savings Analysis.

A dangerous federal fugitive is now behind bars.
The US Marshals Metro Fugitive Task Force arrested 24–year–old Jason Jackson just after midnight Sunday morning.
A tip led officials to the Capitol City Villa apartment complex at 25th and N streets, where Jackson was hiding.
"They had chased down many leads over the last several weeks in regards to Mr. Jackson," Lancaster County Sgt. Phil Lang said.
Officials say Jackson was on the run, wanted by the US Marshals for at least a month on a federal warrant for conspiracy to distribute meth, plus several local charges.
Authorities say Task Force officers surveyed the apartment for several hours before making the arrest.
"He was observed trying to escape on the balcony of that apartment complex," Lang said.
Some residents told Channel 8 they watched the action from their balconies. They said they were told by officials to go back inside and that it looked like officers were directing their attention to the fifth floor.
"Couple of them were over there on the east side by the cars and they had their shotguns or something pointed up at the fifth floor," apartment resident Michael Hier said.
The incident made some residents uneasy.
"We have a lot of older people, and I'm sure they were scared...I'm sure they were scared to death," Hier said.
Officials are not sure how long Jackson had been staying at the complex.
"It is very scary, you know, that someone living above you could be armed and dangerous," resident Amanda Miller said.
The investigation is ongoing.
The U.S. Attorney's Office has charged 28-year-old Aaron Jackson of harboring his brother, Jason Jackson, a federal fugitive.
The U.S. Attorney says between March 20 and April 4, Aaron Jackson was aware that a federal warrant had been issued for his brother, Jason Jackson. Jackson is wanted for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Authorities say Aaron helped his brother evade the Metropolitan Fugitive Task Force's efforts to locate him.
Aaron Jackson appeared in court Friday. He faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
Jason Robert Jackson remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous. Persons with information about Jackson's whereabouts should contact their local law enforcement agency.

Mercer County treasurer Mike Bertelsen has been charged with theft for a second time in less than a year.
The five term treasurer was arrested by the county sheriff Wednesday.
Accused of taking funds from the county he works for.
Mercer County has been looking into its finances for some time.
The county began looking into its finances last fall after Bertelsen had been arrested.
Accused of taking $800 from the Republican Central Committee of Mercer County.
That case is still pending, but the county ordered a forensic audit be done.
The county chairman says they got the results in April and saw thousands missing from a county fund.
"It was in a 911 account which is a subcommittee of the county," says Mercer Chairman Jeff McWhorter.
He says $13,000 was unaccounted for in that fund. It had gone missing between 2006 and 2007, and Bertelsen was connected to the money.
"He was acting as the treasurer of that committee," says McWhorter.
The county turned over its audit to the state police to have them investigate. Meanwhile Bertelsen still showed up to work every day, he had been since last September while the rest of the county treasurer's staff watched.
"We were watching as closely as we could, the other employees in the office they were keeping their eyes open, we couldn't see any funny business going on," says McWhorter.
In an interview with TV 6 this spring, Bertelsen said he was glad to be back at work. He had taken a 30 day paid leave of absence after his first arrest for theft.
"Advice that I received to do that, so I did," says Treasurer Mike Bertelsen.
He said the theft charge didn't make things at work awkward.
"I was told and knew frankly that if I wanted to keep working that I could, so I decided to and I wanted to," says Bertelsen.
McWhorter says the county can't simply fire Bertelsen after these newest theft charges because he's an elected official. It is looking into having him removed from office. Even though McWhorter says Bertelsen hasn't acted suspiciously since his time on the board.
"He has a new car, but everybody is entitled to a new car, if you make $48,000 a year you should be able to afford a new car," says McWhorter.
He says the county will be pressing charges, and hopes to recover the missing money.
Bond was set at $75,000 dollars.

Krisha McCoy, MS
A ProstaScint scan uses an injection of low-level radioactive material to test for the spread of
prostate cancer.
This test is given to men who have
prostate cancer
to see if it has spread to the lymph nodes or other areas.
Complications are rare. But, no procedure is free of risk. If you are planning to have a ProstaScint scan, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These complications may include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test.
Your doctor may do a
bone scan. This is a test that detects areas of increased or decreased bone turnover. It can reveal bone injury, bone disease, or cancer spread to the bones.
Before your test:
For the scan, you will be positioned next to a device that takes images.
The radioactive material that was injected into your vein is attracted to prostate cancer cells in the body. Whole body images will be taken to detect areas where the material collects. This is done to find out if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other organs away from your prostate.
You will be able to leave after the test is done. You can resume normal activities. You may need to return the next day for more images.
1-2 hours
Your doctor will review the images. The results will be ready in a few days.
Call if you have any questions or concerns. In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Categories > Celebrities > Panic! At The Disco > Now I'm of Consenting Age, To Be Forgetting You
Chapter 30 Reviews
Ryan pulled away suddenly; the all too familiar scent of alcohol hung on Spencer's breath. Ryan shook his head; he had nothing to fear from his lover, Spencer wasn't like George Ross. Forgetting about the suddenly resurfaced memories of last night, Ryan succumbed to Spencer's insatiable lips.
"To be honest, I was a little hesitant to go out, but I feel better now," spoke Ryan, slicing the cold air.
"I've had a pretty bad past couple of days..."
"Yeah. Me too."
The awkward silence stung like dry ice.
"So, where are we going?" started Ryan as he clung to the interior of the car while Spencer made a turn.
"Mmm... It's a surprise."
"Heh, well, I'm up for anything."
Ryan looked back at Spencer, his kind friend, his boyfriend.
Recalling memories of their childhood of being best friends, Ryan failed to notice the squeal of the tires as they pulled up to a striking place. Yes, striking, and not in the good way. Looming in front of them was a stretching tan building, its top laced with cheap rosy roof tiles, its walls aged and rotting, roaches squirming from underneath door cracks. Ryan could only look at it stunned; he looked back to Spencer, standing in view of a flashing, red sign with the word "MOTEL" lighting the night.
Ryan had not even begun to recover from his shock when Spencer climbed out of the driver's seat, looking back at Ryan expectantly. Ryan opened the door and followed Spencer into the uninviting building, his dread growing by the minute.
The next thing Ryan knew he was on the flea-infested bed of a crappy motel room making out with Spencer. Sure, they'd made it to second base before, but Ryan wasn't sure he was ready to go the whole ten yards. Breaking off the deep kiss, Ryan pulled away. "What's wrong babe?" Spencer moaned sloppily in his ear, trailing kisses down Ryan's smooth neck.
"Spence, wait, it's... it's just-we're moving too fast."
"Mmm..." came the answer as Spencer traveled down Ryan's body.
"Spencer, fuck, stop it!"
"C'mon Ry, you know I love you," Spencer slithered out the sentence casually as he began pressing Ryan back towards the moth eaten mattress.
Ryan shoved hard on Spencer's chest. "Get the fuck off me! I said no!" he yelled.
Before he had time to react, Spencer had thrown him back against the bed pinning the smaller boy's arms behind his head.
"Just relax Ryan, you know you want this just as much as I do."
Ryan could only stare back at the hazy light blue eyes, mesmerized, shattered. His hands began to shake, eyes darting from the towering figure in front of him and the exit behind. Shrinking back into the wall of the bed, he spoke, voice creaking like a door on rusty hinges, "S-Sp-pp-encer. P-Please..."
His wrists began to burn.
He could taste breath.
"SPENC–," Ryan barely managed to cry out before lips crashed upon his.

Shanta Kamble and Pramila Dhoifude had been friends for years. They were both widows, nearly the same age, and neighbours in Harish Chandra Chawl, near Dadar, in Mumbai.
She Writes Story Contest winner: Chitralekha
Chitralekha is one of twelve winners of the MSN-Random House She Writes a Story Contest', as chosen by our judges. Her story 'Conundrum' features in the 'She Writes: A collection of Short Stories' published by Random House India and available at all leading bookstores.
Chitralekha was born and raised in South Mumbai. She has lived in Jamshedpur, Hong Kong, Singapore, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York and wandered the rest of the globe observing cultures. She is presently parked in New Delhi, trying to crystallize the lessons of a nomadic life.
Read an extract from Chitralekha's story 'Conundrum'
The chawl had been built in the 1950s in an area adjoining the National Textile Mill. Most of the tenants had worked in the mill before it shut down in the early '80s, following an unsuccessful strike by a prominent trade union leader. Some residents had purchased their rooms against 'pagdi' from the original allottees, and had nothing to do with the mill. The two women belonged to the second category, which gave them something in common.
Shanta Kamble was fifty-five-years-old. Her late husband had worked in the Port Trust and left her with a small pension after his demise. She lived with her unmarried son, daughter, and nephew. The nephew, Vishwas, had lived with them since he was twelve.
Shanta's son worked as an assistant in a computer firm which provided technical support for home computer owners.
She had just arranged his marriage to a girl who worked as a telephone operator in an export company.
Shantabai's daughter Madhuri taught in a coaching class. She was dark skinned, with acne scars all over her face; a fact reflected in her mother's oft-stated inability in arranging her marriage.
The nephew was economically the weakest, and worked as a peon in the nearby municipal school. He had not studied beyond the 8th standard. He was a handsome fellow, with a jaunty air; the only son of Shanta's sister who was married to an unemployed drunkard. The aunt was frequently praised for her selflessness in taking him in since the sister could not fend for her son. It was acknowledged within the family that all efforts must be made to prevent the nephew from taking after his father.
On occasion, when the family visited Vishwas' mother in their village, they left a spare key with Pramila Dhoifude. She would clean the house for them while they were away and bring a plastic pouch of milk on the day of their arrival.
In her own words: Chitralekha
Have you always been a writer? What made you start writing?
This is my first attempt at fiction.
What inspired you to enter She Writes?
The categories were so intriguing. I was spurred to put in my two bits' worth.
Why did you choose the category you did?
I have been a Woman in the City all my life. There are many experiences women can have in a city, some common to all cities, some unique to a particular city, all worth telling. I'm glad MSN/Random House added the condition of including a quote, it added a bit of discipline to the project. Otherwise I would have gone into orbit!
Do you have a writing routine - e.g. do you have favourite places to write/favourite times of day/do you write longhand or on a computer?
This is the first time I have written fiction for publication. I wrote it on my laptop in my favourite chair...I hope this process works in future!
Who is your favourite author?
I have a long list of them. The world is full of exceptional writers, living and dead. It is a pleasure to think a new "favourite" could be around the next page.
Which book has inspired you the most?
"Ramakrishna - A Phenomenon" by Christopher Isherwood. Bengalis are steeped in the traditions of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. It was fascinating to explore a western viewpoint, especially by someone like Isherwood, who is not associated with religiosity. It was like a mirror held up to the self you think you know but don't.
Which key piece of advice would you give to any other budding writer?
Writing is like giving birth, it is in the hands of a higher power. Let the process take you over.

The Envoy Esteem is the world's first FDA-approved totally implantable hearing device. Implanted under the skin behind the ear and in the middle ear space, the Esteem is completely invisible. This allows the Esteem to overcome many of the limitations of conventional hearing aids, including the discomfort of wearing something in the ear, wax buildup, infection and acoustic feedback. Because there are no external components to remove, the Esteem can be worn 24/7, including in the shower and at night.
The Envoy Esteem uses the ear canal and ear drum to collect sound, which gives a more natural sound quality than conventional hearing aids can offer. Based on pacemaker technology, the Esteem has a non-rechargeable battery with a life span of five to nine years. When the battery is depleted, the sound processor and battery are replaced during a short surgical procedure.
The Esteem is activated at least eight weeks post-surgery per Envoy's recommendations in order to allow time for the surgery incision to heal.
Abraham Jacob, MD, director of the UA Ear Institute, is the only surgeon in the Southwest - and one of only about 15 surgeons in the United States - that are approved to implant the Esteem.
The Esteem is currently not covered by any insurance plans. Each individual implant center determines costs based on regional factors. The MSRP has been suggested to be about $45,000. Our initial estimated out-of-pocket costs are $35,294 but pricing may change in the future based on the program's financial solvency.
The letters below provide a detailed breakdown of costs for the following:

Title: The Genetics of Parkinsonism
Website: http://udall.med.miami.edu/
The central theme of the Udall Center at the University of Miami (UM) is the identification of the genes and complex mechanisms leading to the development of Parkinson disease (PD). These discoveries may then be translated into tools for early detection of increased risk for disease, leading to early intervention, and provide therapeutic targets for PD.
The Miami Udall Center seeks to identify genetic factors related to PD and determine how they interact with each other and the environment to influence and contribute to the development of PD. Over the past fourteen years, investigators from the Miami Udall Center have identified forms of many genes that increase or decrease the risk of developing PD. Each of these discoveries enhances the developing picture of the biology underlying PD and suggests avenues for further study.
The center consists of three research projects and four cores. The projects are: Project I, "Identification of rare variants in PD through whole exome sequencing" which is focused on the hypothesis that rare genetic variants individually and in aggregate contribute to risk of developing PD. Project II is entitled "Long non-coding RNAs as epigenomic modulators and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in PD" and examines the hypothesis that epigenetics is involved in PD. It involves looking at CSF and brain tissue for these changes. Project III, "Vitamin D concentration, genetic modifiers, and PD" tests the hypothesis that the association between low plasma Vitamin D concentrations and PD might be modified by genetic factors. The cores are an administrative core and three scientific resource cores: Clinical Resources Core, the Statistical Analysis and Bioinformatics Core and the Disease Modeling Core.
Project I: By the end of 2013 we will have performed whole exome sequencing on close to 500 individuals with PD and 200 controls. From this work we have published evaluation of EIF4G1 and VPS35 variants for PD. Initial analyses have identified many rare variants in PD. These will need replication in a second dataset to see which ones are truly important in PD. We have also identified that intermediate size repeats of C9ORF72 are a risk factor for PD (Nuytemans et al, 2013).
Project II: CSF samples (30 PD, 27 controls) have had their CSF RNA sequenced and are in initial analysis.
Project III: The largest to-date measurement of Vitamin D levels in PD patients and controls has been measured using Mass Spectrometry. Initial GWAS studies looking at interaction with Vitamin D levels has been performed, and work is ongoing on replication of the initial findings.
Research continues on all three projects. We are modeling effects of the R1205H EIF4G1 variant that has a high incidence of PD. The Clinical Resources Core will continue to conduct follow-up visits of participants in the brain tissue donation program. We will also organize a second dataset to replicate our initial novel findings in the GWAS autopsy study.
Currently we have active collaborations with 30 different groups working on 13 different research activities in PD. These include active collaborations with five different Udall centers.
The largest collaboration is the "Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) on Autopsy confirmed Parkinson cases and normal controls". Our Udall center is the organizing and primary analysis center for the first GWAS in PD using autopsy confirmed controls and cases. The consortium involves 19 different groups and also includes samples from the Alzheimer's Disease Research Consortium.
The Autopsy-Confirmed PD GWAS Consortium (APDGC) data is available through the NIH Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP, Study Accession phs000394.v1.p1)
The Miami Udall Center maintains a large DNA and brain tissue repository with samples obtained from clinically well-characterized individuals for genetic and neuropathologic studies. We have collected 57 PD brains through our autopsy program, out of 107 total brains collected. We also have created several iPSC lines. Those interested in collaborations should contact Dr. Vance.
The Miami Udall Center hosted two different National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) chapters to a visit of the Udall center and the Hussman Institute. Center faculty also traveled to local NPF meetings to give talks on research ongoing in our Udall Center.
The Miami Udall Center is training the next generation of PD researchers through support of a PhD graduate student working in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) cell studies in PD, as well as several postdoctoral fellows. Two high school students (JJ Vance Foundation Fellows) worked in the Udall Center in the summer of 2013.

LITTLE ROCK – Research led by a University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) professor of medicine and genetics has found a way to identify a type of polyp in the colon that may account for as much as 30 percent of colon cancers, a potential breakthrough in colon cancer prevention.
The study, led by UAMS Professor Curt Hagedorn, M.D., also chief of medicine for Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare Systems (CAVHS), has defined the way genes are expressed in sessile serrated polyps in the colon and used this information to identify diagnostic markers for them in patients. A sessile colon polyp is a lump in the lining of the large bowel that is attached and not free to move.
The findings recently were published in PLOS ONE, an international, peer-reviewed online publication for scientific research.
"If studies that already are in progress confirm these results, then this will greatly aid in preventing colon cancer," Hagedorn said. "The research and its findings will apply to all patients with sessile serrated polyps, not just a subgroup of patients."
He said he plans to incorporate some of these approaches in a large VA cooperative study on colon cancer prevention in which CAVHS is a participating site.
Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. It usually develops from polyps that form in the lining of the colon. Some polyps have a risk of becoming cancerous while others appear to have little or no risk for cancer.
Serrated polyps occur at a high incidence in the general population. One study showed that 27 percent of men and 18 percent of women have such polyps. Evidence is increasing that some serrated polyps, especially sessile serrated polyps, may account for 30 percent of colon cancers. Serrated polyps can look similar to other polyps but have different rates of progression to colon cancer. Currently, clinicians are unable to predict the risk of colon cancer in patients with serrated polyps because of the difficulties in differentiating sessile serrated from other polyp types, particularly hyperplastic polyps.
This has a direct effect on the ability to determine which patients and how often patients should be screened for colon cancer and to identify patients at extreme risk for cancer who should be considered for chemoprevention therapy.
"The validation and use of the markers described in this study also will enable further studies of patients with sessile serrated and other polyps to personalized care for specific patients aimed at preventing colon cancer," Hagedorn said. "A long-term goal is to develop chemoprevention treatments for patients with sessile serrated polyps that prevent the formation of these polyps and colon cancer."
UAMS is the state's only comprehensive academic health center, with colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Professions and Public Health; a graduate school; a hospital; a statewide network of regional centers; and seven institutes: the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, the Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, the Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute, the Psychiatric Research Institute, the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging and the Translational Research Institute. It is the only adult Level 1 trauma center in the state. UAMS has more than 2,865 students and 785 medical residents. It is the state's largest public employer with more than 10,000 employees, including about 1,000 physicians and other professionals who provide care to patients at UAMS, Arkansas Children's Hospital, the VA Medical Center and UAMS regional centers throughout the state.

I'm looking forward to the new Shiv, but I'm sad that it's going to be on a 10 second CD (although I understand, what with the new effects): what am I supposed to spam now when a priest disarms just my MH weapon? :P
I also don't like that Crippling got a nerf. There are already so many ways we can be kited, and poisons can already be dispelled, plus we're losing a little mobility what with having to now choose between Prep and Shadowstep. Crippling slowing a bit more than most other slows was incredibly useful, seeing as how many other classes have slows they can keep up constantly but that are ranged (Slow, Frostbolt, Concussive Shot, Chains of Ice, etc.).
fromnowear said...
Don't forget rogue Evasion duels! My Shiv spam will be sorely missed there too.
I'm also not really concerned about Crippling going down to 50%. After playing a Ret pally and DK, you realize that's still plenty to keep mobs in range. Don't forget, we're getting or keeping other abilities to deal with kiting in MoP.
Looking at the talent calculator, there's one on almost every tier:
Nightstalker (20% speed while stealthed)
Deadly Throw (50% ranged snare/interrupt + damage)
Any of the level 60 tier (though Prep will have a less consistent effect on your uptime)
Deadly Brew (apply Crippling when you apply a non-lethal poison)
Paralytic Poison (random stun at 5th stack)
Shuriken Toss (ranged CP generator - good to use with Deadly Throw)
I'm not too worried about lacking the ability to stay on-target. More importantly, this is the opposite of "dumbing it down". Instead of getting huge passive benefits like 70% snares and 20% increased movement speed, you actually have to press buttons more buttons to stay on target in the new system. If anything, this is an increase in the skill cap.
JattTheRogue said...
I know we have other tools for mobility/snaring, but the thing is, we're still taking a net loss. We've had all of those tools before; the only new thing is Paralytic Poison, and if we take that, we can't use Crippling Poison. You mention that the level 60 tier gives us mobility tools, but remember that Subtlety already has two of the three talents, so we're going to lose either Prep or ShS.
So in the end, we get a little bit more ease at using Deadly Throw what with Shuriken Toss (although both of them are only a 30 yard range and most of the other ranged snares are 35 or 40, so it would still be possible for someone to keep us slowed without us being able to attack them), and we lose Prep or ShS (or both, if you take Burst of Speed, but then you gain that). Paralytic Poisons's not going to be very useful in a kiting situation, because you have to be able to reach 5 stacks for it to do anything, and if you can't hit the other person, it's worthless, whereas if you hit them only once or twice Crippling is immediately beneficial. The only real gain in mobility that I see is that Cloak of Shadows is now on Preparation as well, which is huge, but once again, you're still losing out on ShS.
I'm not saying rogues are getting nerfed into the ground or that we'll all of a sudden be terrible in PVP; I think we'll still be a force to be reckoned with. But there's no denying that we're getting a slight-to-moderate nerf in terms of mobility and snares (two sides of the same coin, one just affects us and the other, our enemy).
ScrubRogue said...
I have to say, I don't know ANY rogues who don't have shiv on their bar...of course I live in PVP, perhaps that's why?

Pittsburg city leaders take a look back at the past year's accomplishments in the annual State of the City Address.
From street repairs to plans for an auxiliary 911 center, Pittsburg Mayor John Ketterman moves from the past to the future of the growing Southeast Kansas community.
This morning Mayor Ketterman says sales tax numbers are looking good. He also talked about blooming businesses in the downtown area.
Ketterman says a hot topic that hit news recently about the possibility of adding trash removal as a city utility is still in its beginning stages.
He also says plans to bring a community wide storm shelter to life are well underway.
"Plans are underway to create a storm shelter in portions of the structure to shelter or protect crews that are first responders in emergency conditions from major storms and allow an auxiliary 911 call center to be created," says Ketterman.
The community storm shelter would be located at the old utilities building off Walnut Street. Initial estimates show the shelter costing around $100,000 with 75% covered by state and federal grants.
