HAMLET — Hamlet City Manager Marchell David's contract was voided Tuesday in a 3-2 vote by the Hamlet City Council.
Newly hired city attorney T.C. Morphis Jr., from The Brough Law Firm in Chapel Hill was tasked during the March meeting to look into the validity of the city manager's employment contract that the council — two members of which are no longer in office — offered David in October 2013. Morphis came back on Tuesday to present his findings on contract and whether or not it was enforceable.
The council went into closed session at 7:23 p.m. to discuss matters within the attorney-client privilege and did not go back into open session until 8:41 p.m. The room full of concerned residents of Hamlet continued to wait out the closed session to hear what the council had decided regarding David's contract.
David was not present at the meeting. She put in a request for family leave and the council voted to have City Clerk Tammy Kirkley to stand in her place until David returns from her leave.
The terms of David's contract included, upon involuntary separation from employment, a buyout that could have cost taxpayers one year of David's salary. In addition, taxpayers would have paid her the value of her accrued leave and the value of 12 months' medical insurance premiums at the city employee rate. David also garnered a 5 percent raise, though that was not mentioned in the terms of the agreement as provided by Kirkley to The Daily Journal last fall. The Daily Journal has never received a copy of the contract despite state law indicating the contract is a public document.
"The attorney said that a strong case can be made that it is an invalid and unenforceable contract," said Council member Eddie Martin. "The main reason is there's no definite term, and in the absence of a definite term, either party can terminate at any time."
Morphis looked at the contract and determined that while it was a very typical thing for city managers to have contracts, there were some terms in the contract that he had never encountered before. Usually a contract for a city manager will include a term or a specified period of years in which the contract is valid, this was not included in David's contract.
Morphis offered three arguments that would support the voiding of the contract. One, the terms of the contract were unreasonable, two, the contract is against public policy and three, there was no preaudit certificate which is required when the council enters into a contract.
It was based on this reasoning that council members Jesse McQueen, Eddie Martin and Johnathan Buie voted to void the contract with David. Council members Pat Preslar and Tony Clewis cast the dissenting votes. The voided contract in no way affected David's employment with the city, and she still remains city manager.
Morphis did note that there wasn't much case law to back either side of the argument should the city manager seek action against the council if she was terminated. Morphis did say that he had never seen a contract with terms that were included in David's and that it is an unusual case. Preslar made a comment that this would be something the city would have to fight against without the backing of previous case law since it is such a unique case.
Martin, however, did not see much risk in voiding the contract. He had taken up issue with how it was formed and also that the contract lacked Steve Futrell's, the previous city attorney, signature. The lack of his signature does not affect the validity of the contract, but it did raise a red flag for Martin.
Preslar also made a suggestion that McQueen refrain from voting due to McQueen's past litigation with the city. He viewed McQueen's voting as an ethical and moral issue and that McQueen may have a conflict of interest. Morphis said that if McQueen did not vote it would count as an affirmative vote. Morphis said there were only two reasons a member could refrain from voting under law, either for personal financial interest or official conduct, and McQueen did not fall into either of those categories.
Preslar, who voted to offer the contract to David in October, was against voiding the contract with the city manager and said that the contract was a statement of her hard work for Hamlet.
"I did award a contract because of her performance and what she's done for this town," Preslar said. "It's a shame that she's not here tonight to defend herself."
Preslar expressed his discomfort in the way the town was operating and said that council members should be ashamed of themselves for not doing this at another time. Clewis agreed with Preslar regarding the conduct of the council.
"It's almost like a witch hunt and the city manager is the one we're after," Clewis said.
Buie said he did wish that David was present for this decision, but it was something that the council had Morphis look at and it was something that needed to be dealt with.
"I didn't vote for this contract," Buie said. "I didn't feel like our manager needed one. She's going to retain her employment, but I just don't like the idea of a contract. I had a lot of concerned citizens ask several questions about this contract, and I answer to people in this city. I'm sorry it is upsetting to some, but some will appreciate it."
Amidst all the discussion on David's contract, one concerned resident, Tommy Cooper, spoke up during the public comment period about the direction the city of Hamlet was taking. He believed that the council was continuously looking backwards instead of trying to move forward. He was also very concerned about the cost of the new city attorney and requested a price on his services since Morphis was hired by the council.
Clewis provided that information to Cooper following the closed session. Clewis said that the city's previous attorney cost $10,000 for the entirety of last year. Clewis said that since Morphis has been serving as the city attorney and looking into two matters, the purchase of the A&P Building and David's contract, that Morphis' firm has billed the city $2,400.
Clewis thought it was important for taxpayers to know how much it was costing and he expressed concerned as a fellow taxpayer. Clewis did believe that Morphis was doing his job and that the firm is highly qualified, he just took issue with the price of the services.

A fictional character
Doomsday is a nearly mindless, berserk killing machine, with no feelings apart from unfocused hatred, murderous rage, and the sheer malicious joy of destruction.
He was created in the distant past on Krypton, long before the humanoid Kryptonian race had gained dominance over the planet. It was a violent, hellish world where only the absolute strongest of creatures could survive. At the time, the world's dominant life-forms were said to be the most dangerous creatures in the universe.[2][3] In a cruel experiment intended to create the perfect living being, the alien scientist Bertron decanted a humanoid infant (born in a lab in vitro) onto the surface of the planet - where he was promptly killed by the harsh environment. The baby's remains were collected and used to clone a stronger version of him, a process repeated time after time as a form of accelerated artificial breeding. The agony of these repeated deaths were recorded in his genes, driving the creature to hate all life. Evolving, the child later became able to survive the high temperatures and searing atmosphere, only to be quickly slain by the vicious predators that inhabited the planet. Eventually, he gained the ability to thrive on solar energy without the need for food or air, to return to life and adapt to overcome whatever had previously killed him, without the assistance of Bertron's technology. "The Ultimate" hunted and exterminated the dangerous predators of Krypton. He then killed Bertron himself, whom he had come to identify as an enemy, due to Bertron having "killed" him thousands upon thousands of times.[2]
The Ultimate escaped Krypton via a ship that regularly came to deliver supplies to Bertron - who wanted little contact with the planet's natives - and went on a killing spree across several planets. It began 245,000 years ago on Bylan 5, where Darkseid was about to wed a princess (in order to obtain that planet's chemical deposits for Apokolips' weapons factories). Just as the Ultimate and Darkseid were to meet in combat, Darkseid was forced to flee, as the rampage of The Ultimate had caused the planet's atmosphere to become toxic and therefore the chemicals worthless to Apokolips. The Ultimate hitched a ride on an escaping shuttle, which crashed on Khundia. The warring Khundian clans united in order to build protective armor for a warrior named Kobald, who was hoped to survive long enough to force the Ultimate onto a rocket. Once the rocket was in space, the Ultimate killed Kobald and the resulting explosion sent him hurtling through space.He next crossed paths with a Green Lantern named Zharan Pel. The Ultimate took the Lantern's power ring and, sensing the power of the Guardians of the Universe, headed toward them. Hundreds of Green Lanterns, sent to stop him, were slaughtered. He continued to Oa where a single Guardian sacrificed himself in battle to defeat him. The release of energies by the Guardian caused a tear in space through which the Ultimate fell. Eventually coming to the planet Calaton, he tore that world apart for three years.[2] With only the capital city left, the royal family combined their life forces into a single energy being, the Radiant.[2][4] The Radiant killed the Ultimate with a huge blast of energy (laying waste to over a fifth of his planet in the process). In common Calatonian burial procedures, the Ultimate's seemingly-dead body was suited and shackled to prevent his spirit escaping into the afterlife, and he was shot into space due to his murders making him unworthy of burial on Calaton. Eventually, his metallic casket crashed on Earth, the force of the impact driving it deep underground

The Magazine
The Butler Didn't Do It
A Victorian Murder, Solved.
Feb 11, 2002, Vol. 7, No. 21 • By SUSAN BALEE
Had Florence not craved acceptance by her social peers, she might have lived out her days quietly at the Priory, a widow staring down scandal until time and her good behavior could succeed in recouping her respectability, just as they ultimately do for Mrs. Catherick in Collins's "The Woman in White." But Florence didn't have that kind of patience; she couldn't bear life without a man, without the propriety marriage conferred on a woman. So she entered the orbit of Charles Bravo, a rising young barrister, with the help of Mrs. Cox, who had once worked for the Bravos and could therefore make introductions. Bravo was talented and handsome, and Florence was so taken with the respectability he represented that she was willing to overlook the troubling aspects of her suitor, not least among them the fact that he was well known for his "greed and penury." This should have been clear to her when she confessed her affair with Gully so he would hear it from her before he heard it from someone else. As Ruddick rightly notes, "No man of Charles Bravo's background would consider marrying a woman who had just confessed to aborting a pregnancy during an adulterous affair with a sixty-seven-year-old man unless he was chiefly interested in her money." When Florence invoked her right to keep her fortune (the Married Women's Property Act of 1870 prevented husbands from assuming their wives' assets), Bravo nearly called the wedding off. Only when Florence agreed to make a will benefiting him in the event of her death and leasing him the Priory in her lifetime did Bravo consent to take her hand. The marriage was ill-omened from the start, and it quickly mushroomed into something insupportable. Bravo insisted on control of the household finances, firing servants to save money and urging Florence to give up her horses and garden. When she remonstrated, Bravo took out his anger in the bedroom.
When each of her two pregnancies with him ended in a serious miscarriage that undermined her health, he made it clear that he would keep trying until they produced a son. All of this, and more, came out in the coroner's inquest, but the case against any one suspect could not be proved, in part because Florence Bravo and Mrs. Cox supported each other--and in part because the servants banded together against the local police inspector. Indeed, the wealth of the Bravo household kept Chief Inspector Clarke at arm's length. A policeman's entrance into the home to investigate a murder was seen as an invasion of the family's rights, which is why, probably, there are so many inept and ill-at-ease detectives in nineteenth-century fiction. Perhaps the best known is Sergeant Cuff, the hapless policeman assigned to the case in Wilkie Collins's "The Moonstone," a novel based on the 1860 Road Murder, when upper-class Constance Kent was cleared of charges that she had murdered her younger stepbrother and then, five years later, confessed to the crime. In the Kent case, the real-life Inspector Whicher suspected her but was overridden. In "The Moonstone," Cuff is fired for his presumption. IT'S NO WONDER that Clarke could not solve the Bravo case when all the principals were so resolutely shut against him--nor is it surprising that an amateur detective from a higher class, James Ruddick, could do so over one hundred years later when the descendants of these same people gave him access to their private documents. Ruddick's "Death at the Priory" is a marvelous read, revealing a world where respectability sometimes covered a variety of disreputable secrets. Though never officially charged with her husband's death, Florence Bravo drank herself to death in 1878. Unlike Madeleine Smith, she could not leave the scandal of her past behind her. And as for her husband's murderer--ah, well, for that, you'll have to read the book. A writer in Philadelphia, Susan Balee is the author of articles on Wilkie Collins, M.E. Braddon, Oscar Wilde, and Victorian culture.

Being a former tennis student of Dr. Brown's, I was excited that he's successfully published another book. SPORTS TALENT does not focus solely on tennis but on all sports. With a toddler of my own, I'm sure that I will frequently consult SPORTS TALENT with all of my questions and concerns. The checklists, charts, etc. puts the information conveniently at your fingertips. Congratulations to Dr. Brown for yet another invaluable reference source.Was this review helpful?

Morning Edition Remembers 2011
By editor
Originally published on Fri December 30, 2011 8:07 am
It's tempting to say what a snake-bit year this was, a year when American troops were lost abroad, a year of economic struggle and cynical politics. But it was also a year when troops came home, and people started new jobs. Steve Inskeep says it's to soon to judge 2011.

Flatirons Food Film Festival 2014 whets our appetites for all things food- and drink-related with a menu of five films about food: a heady documentary on the craft beer movement (featuring two local breweries), a dramedy about work-life balance in the restaurant industry that integrates interviews with real-life San Francisco Bay Area chefs, a documentary on how urban farming is changing the locavore movement, a visual and sensory tour-de-force described as "an opera in a dozen courses and a banquet in a dozen acts" that involves a Michelin-starred restaurant and artists in various media from around the world, and a documentary about seed banks and the importance of preserving crop diversity in the face of climate change.
Paired with each of these films are events that include a craft beer celebration featuring a craft beer/aria pairing performance by Opera on Tap Colorado; a chef-hosted feast; a molecular gastronomy demonstration; tours of an artisan brewery; a craft distillery; and a farm with a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program; various panel discussions; and a cookbook signing.

From what I know the age issue is usually on the womans side. Since our eggs are with us from prior to birth and they age. Whereas a mans sperm is restocked everytime he "uses" his... LOL... I wouldn't worry about it....

Actually there can be complications from the guys' side of things. Males replenish their store of sperm basically every 60-90 days. The older the male, the more likely the DNA in the sperm cells can be damaged somehow. Seems like women always get blamed for everything (old eggs, etc.). Interesting OP b/c we were just talking about this in class today (my prof. was an OB nurse for many yrs. also).
I wouldn't necessarily worry about it, however. Although these things are possible, they are rare.

From Life Drawing class...
The man posing for us reminded me of Bill from Left 4 Dead sooo much... I really wanted to ask him to come in wearing camo, but I believe that is a strange request when you're posing nude. Hehehe.
The skeleton is incomplete. Funny story, actually. It was homework over the weekend, but it slipped my mind and I forgot about it. I worked on it for three hours last night and left with a major headache. Drawing the entire skeleton, fully rendered for the first time is hard work!!

Here's a self-portrait I did... Sorry, the image looks like crap (stupid flourescent lights), but it's the best picture I could get.
Anyway, I spent probably a total of 18 hours on it. I'm aware that the arms look awful and I crapped out on the hands (its deadline snuck up on me), but I'm proud of it because it's the largest painting I've ever done and the only painting I've done with a life reference (myself).

Late late late update, but still an update, right? Also, sorry for quality, but I don't have a scanner to work with at the moment. ):
I've been doing studies... and a few doodles here and there.
The spinal column is still incomplete because I'm a lazy, lazy person.
The characters are Kaiba, Popo, and Neiro from the anime Kaiba.
The mannican drawings are Loomis.
April 16th, 2009 #8
More drawings from last night/this morning.
1. Some more mannican poses using photographs as references.
2. My roommate had a mask she had to do a full value drawing of. I joined in and did some contour drawings... I like them. I kind of wish I did an entire page without the mannican drawings, but I've become so ecological that I MUST NOT WASTE MY PAPERSSSSS.
3. I started this drawing as a contour of my roommate - don't take it seriously, I just love doing contours. Then I started using a brush pen to render the shadows, but it turned out like crap.
4. Some copies from a figure drawing book. The skeleton needed a tutu.
April 17th, 2009 #9
1. Contour drawing of my friends' apartment... it's a mess!! I felt like I needed some practice drawing atmospheric stuff. I tried to put in some perspective but it didn't seem to have much of an effect. Oh well... At least I finished it!!
2. Random character. Her left arm is missing because I didn't know where to put it. Mmmphhhhhh... red lines would be nice.
April 18th, 2009 #10
Just got home from a looong model session... 20 minute poses for each.

Hi there, you have some nice stuff in here. Good grasp on anatomy, keep doing the figure studies it's always helpful.
Also, I wanted to point out that I really like the first drawing in post #9. It may not be accurate but it has something raw, that makes it interesting.
It's full of life, and I something that's something you should strive for in your art, I know I try to.
Keep drawing, keep updating

Duuuuuude you gotta post your work more often! Good start! Great to see you using loomis and doing other studies. Your rendering is good but your latest post doesn't show it...try to push that more if you can and maybe do some drawings from imagination utilizing what you've learned through studies. Keep it up!

Another of the apartment featured in an earlier post.
SeB_C_BiEn - Thank you very much! I always thought that I had a terrible grasp of anatomy, but I guess that's because I never drew with any references until I started these.
jackpot_anjr90 - Thank you, I will try to start rendering more even with short poses. I guess speed is something I should work on as well. I take forever to make full value drawings because I'm so picky about light and shadow... EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERFECT.

1. Colored an older picture with watercolor... the power went out and I couldn't really see anything I was drawing - no candles allowed in dorms and I'm dumb enough to NOT bring a flashlight.
2. Arm/hand studies.
April 24th, 2009 #17
Hey guys, I've almost finished this for CMPA 110. I've posted it in the studies and works in progress forum, but I haven't really received any feedback (over about a week's period of updates on it... :/ ) so if you all have something to say about it, I'd be very happy to hear it.
I took some liberties, obviously...
I'm really freaking proud of those sunglasses...
May 20th, 2009 #18
Done for CMPA 110
Drawings from my sketchbook will be up soon...
I've been falling behind on updates... ;___;

Major update!!
I'm so mad at myself, I've been working my butt off for this sketchbook - since it's also a requirement to have a sketchbook full of drawings cover-to-cover - and even though I work hard, bring my sketchbook everywhere, and draw everything, I still only have it halfway filled...
Sometimes I wish I were environmentally unethical and use just one side of the pages...
Anyway, I'm proud of what I have and I'm hoping for the best.

Done for my Art History 2 final...
I love The Nightmare... and I love oil pastels [especially Senneleir brand].
Bleh... I don't like her face... or her dress - I ran out of white so I was too scared to go back and work on her that I might mess up.

Hey guys, I'm having a crisis...
I can do studies and I can duplicate and understand why shapes go where, but when it comes right down to it, I can't draw without a reference... at all. I was feeling depressed today because I couldn't even draw a figure without it looking messed up and contorted - I started crying. Heh... I've been working hard for so long and it just doesn't seem to be paying off and I'm surrounded by prodigies not just on CA but in my environment as well. I'm a student at Savannah College of Art and Design and people in my grade are legions ahead of me in the artistic field. I feel so inadequate and useless and that my artistic ability (or lack thereof) will not take me anywhere in life. I feel like I shouldn't even be at an art school with how much I can't do.
I guess I'm just looking for consolation... or something.

Start drawing from your imagination and if it sucks who cares? even michaelangelo started his career with a bunch of sketches he probably hated. You gotta start somewhere, dont worry if there are others better than you out there, that won't help.
Your biggest enemy of this whole deal of becoming a better artist will almost always be yourself. Pick yourself up by your bootstraps and just focus on your art. Don't worry about how much better your classmates are, or where the prodigies on conceptart.org are, only worry about yourself, and your art. Learn the basics, anatomy, perspective, color, draw from your imagination as well as from life, but most importantly stick with it.I'm sure you've heard the quote "Rome wasn't built in a day." well, keep that in mind.
Oh, and watch this video. its the most motivational stuff i could find:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

You and I are about the same age. I can totally relate to the frustration you feel when you look at the work of artists that are leagues ahead of us. I get that frustration all the time too.
I can see that you are very talented and observant, but talent alone will not take you as far as experience will.
I can bet my bottom dollar that if you keep drawing everyday, within a few years, you will produce art you never even dreamed you'd be capable of!
Go find your earilest possible drawings and compare them to what you have now.
You'll be surprised how noticeable your improvement over the years is.
Don't give up, and the way I see it, there's probably somebody out there who envies your artistic ability.

Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been getting over some emotional issues and transferring to a college back near my home in Maryland. So... Yeah. I guess my apathy also contributes to the emptiness.
Oh well, enough of that. Here's a small update of my most recent digital piece... Fanart, I know. Simplistic, I know. But I feel that I've improved.

4 websites for virtually kicking the tires
"Confessions of a Car Salesman," at the Popular Mechanics site, is labeled "anonymous" but has the ring of truth in it. The question-and-answer post explains, for example, that the salesman really must go talk to the manager on every deal, because — in addition to the odd psychology of car dealing — the manager holds all the cards and typically keeps information from the salesman on the bottom-line price for any given car on the lot. Usually, he says, "it's the hard-core hagglers that get the best prices." But "I've seen some customers win by being the nice guy. They let you know how much they can afford, and you actually want to work with them." tinyurl.com/PMCarConfessions
Edmunds.com offers an "upfront pricing" option for car buyers who don't want to haggle. The process can present you with offers from nearby dealers, and even make an appointment with a salesman. A page of calculators helps you decide what you can afford, estimate loan or lease payments, and see the real cost difference between taking a low-interest loan and a "cash-back" car deal. The "gas guzzler trade-in calculator" estimates fuel cost savings between one car and another. For any car you're interested in, a link on the calculator page will estimate repair costs and display recall notices and technical service bulletins. edmunds.com
Used-car shoppers should consider using a service like Carfax to find out if a vehicle that looks like a cream puff is fresh, or rotten, on the inside. Carfax uses license number and state, or vehicle identification number, to uncover service records, including accident reports, major repairs, mileage, multiple owners, evidence the air bags ever deployed, warranty and recall information, and other factoids to ease your mind, warn you off, or provide ammo for dickering. The cost is $40 for one report, $50 for five, or $55 for a month of unlimited use of the service. carfax.com
Women, especially, should buy their cars online, according to this post at Slate.com. Writer Libby Copeland raves about her experience: "There was no being ignored when I walked in the door, as when I visited one near-empty dealership, nor any invitation to bring my husband along for my next visit, as when I visited another. And there was no subtle social pressure, real or imagined, to be conciliatory instead of assertive, which I've certainly felt in the past while haggling, and which women tend to feel more than men." tinyurl.com/WomenBuyOnline

Seems like the ideal way to make a nice gift for my fiancee this Christmas.

I've also tried Autodesk Inventor Professional 2012 student version and had the same result. The file opens up fine on my end, but every time I try to upload it, the preview appears to be chopped in half. I'm sure there's probably something very basic I'm missing. Another theory could be my internet connection being a bit iffy tonight, although it fails the same way very consistently. Can anyone help me out?

Select Local Merchants
Circle KRead MoreSo established is Circle K that even brand-new vehicles recognize what its red-and-white logo stands for—fuel, snacks, and everything else a car might need to keep powering down the road with its driver. Circle K's story starts back in 1951, when Fred Hervey bought three Kay's Food Stores in El Paso, Texas. Under his guidance, these three little shops grew into the more than 3,000 convenience stores that crouch on our nation's street corners today. After rolling up to a Circle K, drivers can pump their faithful roadsters full of high-octane fuel and send them skipping through a car wash to experience the cleansing touch of Blue Coral Beyond Green and Rain-X products. Then it's time to step inside the air-conditioned shop for a peek at the provisions. Rows of sodas hibernate behind glass doors, and snacks, candy, and their ATM guardians stand boldly out in the open. Some Circle Ks also offer the Take Away Café, which presents an appetizing lineup of healthy road fare including Ball Park hot dogs. Drivers can gear up for a long drive with Premium Coffees or enjoy a cold Polar Pop, whose specially formulated cup keeps drinks colder thanks to the family of tiny snowmen trapped in its foam walls.2101 SW 89th StOklahoma City, OK US
El ChicoRead MoreFor tasty Mexican fare, Oklahoma City's El Chico is hard to top. Don't expect to find any low-fat fare on El Chico's menu — you'll need to be prepared to indulge a bit. Unwind with a glass of wine or cocktail with your meal — El Chico has a wonderful selection of drinks to accompany your dinner. You won't feel cramped at El Chico, even with a large party — the restaurant is perfect for large groups. Dine out in the open during El Chico's summer season when patio tables are available for use. Not a popular place for dress-up dining, most El Chico patrons come in casual attire. If you need to feed a big crowd, El Chico also offers catering services for parties and get-togethers. For convenience, diners can park in a neighboring lot. Prices are downright affordable at El Chico, with most items well under the $15 mark. Stop by for three square meals a day — El Chico serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.2900 W Britton RdOklahoma City, OK US
Popcorn FharmacyRead MoreThe kettles at Popcorn Fharmacy would churn out money, but there's no fun in that. Instead, they've chosen to pour out a wealth of golden, buttered popcorn. Dusted and drizzled in flavors that range from spicy jalapeño nacho to peanut butter, this popcorn, which is legal tender in several state counties, fills tins bedecked with seasonal art. Though 1-gallon tins only hold one type of popcorn, the 3.5- and 6.5-gallon containers divide their contents into three flavors, meaning customers can enjoy combinations such as caramel, apple, and butterscotch or dill pickle, sour cream and onion, and vanilla butternut.7518 North May AvenueOklahoma City, OK US
Gulfport Seafood MarketRead MoreFresh fare can be found at Gulfport Seafood Market, where diners seek to sample every seafood dish on the menu. Treat yourself to a healthy meal at Gulfport Seafood Market, a local restaurant. Drivers will find parking not far from the restaurant. Store your bike at a nearby rack and enjoy a bite to eat at Gulfport Seafood Market. Gulfport Seafood Market's mid-priced fare will typically cost you about $30 per person or less. Gulfport Seafood Market has menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — just pick your favorite meal and head over.8016 N May AveOklahoma City, OK US
The Meat House EdmondRead MoreA traditional neighborhood butcher shop where the quality of meats and customer service consistently exceeds expectations—this was Justin Rosberg and Jason Parent's vision when they founded The Meat House in 2003, and today, neighborhoods across the country are reaping the benefits. Each Meat House locale equips foodies with everything they need to host an impressive backyard barbecue or frontyard game of Steal the Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Wing. Marinades and seasonings make it easy for home chefs to add layers of flavor to cuts of all-natural steak, pork, lamb, and chicken, and premarinated meats come in forms such as sweet barbecue steak tips and cilantro-lime turkey tenderloin. The knowledgeable butchers can also share cooking tips with patrons revving up to prepare one of the shop's more exotic proteins for the first time. Less common cuts include buffalo, venison, alligator, boar, and ostrich, and butchers do their best to source any other meats by request.2247 West Danforth Rd.Edmond, OK US
Tropical CafeRead MoreIn addition to innovative sushi rolls and hibachi cuisine, the culinary artisans at Tropical Cafe craft classic sandwiches, salads, and egg breakfasts. Culling fresh ingredients and housemade sauces, the raw-fish masters roll traditional and American-inspired maki flavored with strips of bacon, Angus beef, and asparagus. Grill gurus sear meats, vegetables, and rice at tableside grills, creating sizzling hibachi fare before the eyes of delighted diners and ventriloquist dummies.304 South Kelly AvenueEdmond, OK US

Outdated PlayStation 4 Thoughts
By LegitFruitSnack 0 Comments
full disclosure yea this is kinda super late but I typed up my thoughts after Sony made the announcement and just forgot to post it. I figured I'd post it any way now, just so I don't have a random blog in a folder that never went live. -FS
There is finally light at the end of this long tunnel the next generation of video game consoles is finally officially coming. Sony struck first with their announcement of the PlayStation 4. The name while not really original is great its not something dumb I have to get used to like saying like Vita or Natal its simple. It's the new PlayStation and you know that because the number is higher. Sony's event was filled with 2 hours of talking almost solely about GAMES and how this console is going to do interesting things with GAMES, I'm sure its gonna have a Netflix app and and be filled with social media hooks up the ass, hell it has a button on the controller for it but I will get to that later, but they didn't spend time talking about how their vision is going to be an all in one box or about how "It only does everything". They just talked about games and that has me pretty excited.
They started off talking about the hardware for a few minutes and guess what its better. There is going to be an x86 processor, 8gb of RAM and an "Enhanced" PC GPU. Those are all good things but I'm not quite sure who that segment of the presentation was for. It using terms like "enhanced" and "next gen" when referring to computer hardware is too vague to mean anything of significance to people who really know computer hardware and on the opposite end of the spectrum the person who knows nothing is just going to see acronyms and numbers and then ask. "Is that good? Yea. Cool."
They also talked about a new feature that is like a sleep mode where it suspends your game and puts the PS3 into a low power state and then will boot up instantly back into the game. I love something like this on my Vita and if I can put my vita to sleep for like 3 or 4 days and come back and still have battery left I am fairly positive that they can do something similar with the new PlayStation and have it not kill the system or consume a bunch of power. The talked about the controller it looks like a Dualshock with a touch pad on it and it now has convex analog sticks. Having that pad is going to make the controller slightly bigger so its getting closer to the size of Xbox controller which I like, I currently feel like I can snap the PS3 controller in half just by thinking about it. They had a moment where they talked about the new controller being compatible with a 3D camera like the Kinect but it was only one line and it didn't seem like a focus. The current rumor of the new Xbox is that a camera is going to be integral if not required. I don't wanna be forced to use a camera but having one for people or developers who want to use I like.
After that they got right into the games starting of with a character driven platformer called Knack. I'm not sure if Knack is supposed to be the new mascot of the system like a Mario or a Crash Bandicoot but it sure seemed like that was the effect they were going for announcing that first. It looked good visually but it wasn't astonishing or even the best looking thing of the evening. It didn't do anything new either it just was a new character driven platformer. What they did have to showcase with Knack was the connection to the Vita that is part of the vision Sony is going to try to achieve being able to stream any PS4 game to be playable on the Vita. I think something like that will be interesting if it comes to fruition because I really want this brick I own to become useful. I LOVE the Vita, I think it is a great device, I just need other people to buy one so developers will make great games for it. And if I have to leave my console for something like I want to watch something on TV or I need to be closer to the kitchen or I have to take a shit its nice to know it might be possible that I don't need to stop playing whatever it is I wanna play.
Throughout the buzz words and bull shit they threw around I picked up that they are going to to do things with the store along the lines of Amazons recommendation system or what Google is trying to accomplish in predicting what you want to buy before you buy it. Then also taking that a step farther and downloading if for you so it is just immediately available. I don't know about it predicting my interests but if it can predict what I am going to buy I should at least be able to tell it I want something before it is released and have it pre-load a game so I can play it the moment it is available like steam has been doing.
The next thing that came up was the fairly recently acquired Gakai technology, Which is supposedly a On Live type thing that actually works. They talked a mess of game about what this streaming technology can do. Like trying a stream of a game without having to download anything to see if you like it. Being able to stream gameplay to your friends or online is supposedly going to be built in at a system level as well. This is where that share button comes in. For starters the system is supposed to hold 10 minutes of gameplay buffered so at any moment if something awesome happens you can hit that share button go back to the point of awesomeness and then post that clip somewhere like Facebook or YouTube I find this interesting not for the sharing capabilities because I don't care if my friend from college that I didn't really like who is on my Facebook friends list gets to see how awesome I am at Call of Duty, but because capturing content from a console right now requires equipment and software to do and building something like that in on a system level so when that moment comes you do want to show someone or you just want to keep a record of a game to go back to to remember something it's there without having to have a setup for that kind of thing. And hopefully that will mean videos of awesome things taken on cellphones will go away.
Their vision is to also be able to stream live gameplay out to the world and to other friends and be able to transfer control to the other person. On the surface this sounds sorta dumb because I don't really wanna have my friend help me get past that part because it is too hard or I don't want that call from someone I know who is more of a casual gamer asking me to get online and do something for them either. But if that is possible the time of local only games is over. If I can stream and transfer something like The Cave to friends and be able to play with them like they were sitting next to me I think that would be awesome. Although it would be nice if games just didn't come out with local only co op any more.
Different developers came out and talked about their games some of which were sequels that I'm not really excited about but there was new stuff. Knack looked fun and above all its at the very least a new world to explore and a new character to use. Destiny was there that I already talked about when it was announced last week. Watch dogs was revealed to be for next generation systems. Jonathan Blow came out and was very cynical about AAA game development and talked about his new game, The Witness which I'm sure will be good I'm just not really sure what it is yet besides a open world puzzle game. I am looking forward to see more of these games but for now I am happy knowing there is new things coming out.
The notable things that were not present that I was not surprised about were a release date other than Holiday 2013, a price and a picture or image of the box itself. These being missing doesn't bother me in the slightest. The only reason I would have been happy with a price is because I want to see the statement they are going to make with that number. I am going to buy this thing anyway no matter when it comes out or what it costs or looks like so I'm much happier seeing what I might get when I buy it which is what they showed.
Overall I am pretty excited but at the same time I'm remaining pretty skeptical. The words Sony used seemed intentionally vague and consoles usually don't live up to every thing that was mentioned at the launch event. And a lot of the things that were mentioned require things that may be outside of their control like good internet. Am I going to be able to stream a game demo without latency on a 3mb connection? But even so the things they mentioned are at least getting people thinking about what they want and can possibly expect in a new system where as before I wasn't really sure what could be new that would get me excited i just knew that 3d and motion definitely were not what I wanted. It's Microsoft's turn now and I am slightly worried they aren't gonna make as big of a push of video games. I think we are going to see a lot of that only one box needed stuff which is nice but not what I am interested in in a video game console.

The 30-share index had risen by 158 points to a high of 22,602.71 in early trade as FIIs continued to invest in Indian equity markets.

FIIs bought shares worth a net Rs 279.86 crore yesterday as per provisional data from the stock exchanges. They said encouraging fourth quarterly earnings by some more companies also triggered buying activity. Among Sensex stocks, Reliance Industries was the biggest gainer rising by 1.91 %, while ONGC ended 0.45 %. ICICI Bank jumped 1.63 %, FMCG major ITC surged 1.06 %, Larsen and Toubro by 1.24 % and Mahindra and Mahindra by 0.55 %.
