Editor's Note: This letter was sent by resident Stephen Baxter to Bruce Whitaker, Mayor of Fullerton, and the Fullerton City Council members, requesting that Municipal code 7.105.020 – Camping unlawfully, or the "no-camping ordinance," be placed on Tuesday's agenda.
Fullerton is, at least in part, nationally known as the city that hired the officers who beat a homeless man to death, and the first of two murder trials is to begin on Oct. 18. In the aftermath of Kelly Thomas' murder, power shifted and reform candidates won, but when I was celebrating the successful recall of Bankhead, Jones and McKinley, taking full advantage of our generous host's open bar, I had no idea that one year later we would be ticketing people for the condition of homelessness – especially since some running were riding the "Justice For Kelly" wave pretty hard, and were in fact hyper-critical of the police while campaigning. Now these same people vote down a proposed shelter 3:2, and are looking away instead of intervening on another dehumanizing policy at the hands of FPD.
To me this transformation is obnoxiously unfathomable and I suggest we put a moratorium on enforcing the no-camping violations until suitable accommodations are found for an emergency homeless shelter. For all concerned, this needs to be added to the agenda right away.
The newly elected officials need to go on record regarding a law that essentially makes being homeless a crime. I am hopeful that, after an honest assessment of the political landscape during which you ran for office, at least one or more will personally come to the conclusion that you owe this opportunity to be on the city council in great part to the fate which befell Kelly Thomas. And when you have come to that conclusion, I believe that you are morally called upon to improve the lives of those with whom Thomas shared the streets. Perhaps you will then conclude, as I have already concluded for you, that you need to pay a VIG to Thomas' memory. We desperately need someone on the council to "own" the homeless issue. Let's also not forget that had Thomas survived the brutal beating on July 5, 2011, he would now be getting cited for camping.
This does not mean that we should not be responsive to the needs of downtown businesses and residents. After all, our government does not suffer from a scarcity of laws which address human behavior, and which are perfectly suited to address the individual troublemakers in downtown.
To varying degrees I have tried to reach out to every political, social and faith-based faction in Fullerton over the last few years, and I have found common ground with all of them. But somehow when it comes to the issue of the homeless, and to the accountability of the police, I can only get so far before I hit the brick wall. It should not be this difficult to get people to do the right thing, especially when things that test our ethics are so obviously horrible and as undeniably unfair as criminalizing the poorest amongst us for what they don't have.
If the undeniable unfairness of this issue does not compel you to want to stop its application, you may want to ask yourself: Under which circumstances would it be conceivable that you would be willing to cross the wishes of the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce?

I had my arm broken yesterday - specifically my right ulna, near the wrist. I've never broken anything before and I'm feeling well miserable about it. I don't yet know how long I'll have the cast on for so I can't plan getting back into training (I train in reality based self defence), and I'm worried it's going to be weak for ages. I'm very right handed and would use a palm heel strike from my right as my preferred strike nearly all the time. I suppose it will be good to train a bit with my weaker arm, but at the moment I'm feeling really pissed off and slightly pathetic - it was broken by the police who then arrested me and wouldn't take me to hospital for 7 hours, so there's a fair bit of self-pity-wallowing going on generally.
The bone wasn't fully snapped - I've got the x-ray and can't work out where the fracture is - so I'm hoping it will heal quickly. If anyone could suggest how long it would be before I'll be able to use my arm properly again, that's be really good to know. Also any general advice or positivity would be really appreciated and thoughts on training with a break.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The MIT men's and women's track and field teams traveled to Springfield College over the weekend to compete in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship. The women's squad was locked in a tight battle with Williams College throughout the meet, eventually finishing second overall with 66 total points. The men finished in a tie for ninth place out of 48 total teams.
On the women's side, a pair of athletes had record-setting performances and were able to move up the national rankings as the NCAA National Championship approaches. Portia Jones and Jacqui Wentz each set new Institute records while winning their respective events. Jones was a winner in the 400-meter hurdles, finishing in 61.34 seconds, seven-tenths of a second faster than the previous MIT standard. Jones' time now ranked second in all of Division III just two weeks before the National meet. Jones also won the 100-meter hurdle race with a time of 14.44 seconds.
Wentz won convincingly in the 3000-meter Steeplechase, crossing the finish in 10:22.32, more than 27 seconds than her closest competitor and moving up to number two on the NCAA performance list.
Hazel Briner was the other event winner for Tech, taking the heptathlon with 4378 points. Briner was first in the 100 hurdles, 800m and shot put and second in the 200.
Tania Morimoto had a solid race in the 10,000 meters, finishing in third with a time of 36:34.11, an NCAA provisional cut and the third fastest in MIT history. Karin Fisher also picked up valuable points in the pole vault with a fourth-place finish. Briner was seventh in the pole vault as well.
On the men's side, the throwers accumulated a good number of points, as the Engineers had a limited number of participants entered. James Oleinik finished second in the shot put with a toss of 50 feet even. Mitchell Kelly was seventh. Kelly threw his was into fourth place in the discus with a 157-08 foot effort, an NCAA provisional mark. Vladimir Sobes also had a provisional mark in the javelin, reaching 197 feet, good for third place overall.
Greg Tao was fifth in the pole vault, clearing 15-5.00 feet. Daniel Harper (seventh) and Richard Prevost (sixth) earn points for MIT in the 5000 meters and Steeplechase, respectively.
The Cardinal and Gray will host a "Last Chance Qualifier" next Friday, May 21, as athletes from around the region will have one final shot to earn a spot in the NCAA Division III Championship, which begins on Thursday, May 27.

"Voters apparently just aren't that into Mitt Romney," USA Today writes. "A new Pew Research Center poll shows more voters have a negative image of the Republican candidate, with 52% saying they have an unfavorable view of Romney compared with 37% who have a favorable view."
As we've noted previously in First Read, others are writing that Romney's biographical narrative is missing from this campaign.
"[I]t has become clear that [Romney's culture comments] illustrate part of Romney's core beliefs of the world, informing the underpinnings of his economic and global philosophies," the Boston Globe writes. "In one of his most striking, but little noticed, statements, Romney used a point made by author and former Harvard professor David Landes to state outright that certain cultures are better than others."
And the Globe goes further, digging up this anecdote from his book, "No Apology": "The multiculturalism movement must be unmasked for the fraud that it is. There are superior cultures, and ours is one of them."
And: "Jared Diamond, author of 'Guns, Germs, and Steel,' wrote in an opinion article Thursday in the New York Times under the headline 'Romney Hasn't Done His Homework' that Romney had "misrepresented my views" and "oversimplified the issue."
The Romney campaign is highlighting some front-page treatment from The Denver Post and Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The Post's front-page headline: "Romney's jobs plan could fuel job growth, local economists say."
The Tribune-Review, the more conservative of the two Pittsburgh papers, has a front-page item on Solyndra: "Analyst's Solyndra warning detailed."
Lots of other papers pick up on the Solyndra story and congressional report, including this item from Buzzfeed highlighting emails between Obama staffers one with the response "Ugh" from a now-campaign official. The word "Ugh" has been the subject of several campaign emails now over the last couple of days.
Mitt Romney might not be releasing his bundlers, but USA Today and the Sunlight Foundation have figured them out as best they can, "by reviewing Federal Election Commission data, invitations to 85 Romney fundraising events obtained by the non-partisan Sunlight Foundation, campaign news releases and news accounts. President Obama releases the names of his bundlers publicly."
"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is not backing down from his second-hand allegations that Mitt Romney did not pay taxes for 10 years, but he still won't name his sources for the unproven claim," the New York Daily News writes, adding, "Despite taking some heat for the unsubstantiated accusations, Reid doubled down, and then tripled down, on the zero-tax talk on Wednesday and Thursday… Romney has refused to release more than two years of his tax returns, but has said he paid everything required by law. A top Romney adviser fired back at Reid after his Senate floor speech on Thursday, likening his the top Democrat's charges to Joseph McCarthy's Communist witch hunts."
Romney responded on Sean Hannity's radio show: "It's time for Harry to put up or shut up. Harry's going to have to describe who it is he spoke with because that's totally and completely wrong. It's untrue, dishonest and inaccurate. It's wrong. So I'm looking forward to have Harry reveal his sources and we'll probably find out it's the White House."
Of course, Romney by not releasing his taxes from those years, can't categorically disprove the claim – as tactless and below-the-belt as it might be for a Senate majority leader.
Here's a headline from Roll Call: "Republicans Solicit Lobbyists for Input on Party Platform."

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by recognizing one of the all-time premier members of the Tennessee State Flying Tigers.
In 2004, sprinter Nick Horton made history by becoming TSU's first Male Athlete of the Year. The award was given to Horton for a combination of his running ability, community service and work in the classroom.
On the track, Horton set a handful of TSU and OVC records including the 200-meter dash in a time of 20.9 seconds and the 400-meter in 46.69 seconds. He was selected as the OVC Male Track Athlete of the year for both 2003 and 2004 and earned an invitation to compete in the 2004 United States Olympic Trials.
When Horton won the Male Track Athlete of the Year Award, he became only the fourth player ever to accomplish the feat. As the team's best runner that year, Horton led the Tigers to a fourth place finish in the conference by setting a pair of Lantz Fieldhouse records.
After winning the 200 and 400-meter dashes, Horton also helped the 4 x 400 relay team win gold with a time of 3:13:39- nearly two whole seconds faster than the competition.
Throughout his career, Horton was named OVC Male Track Athlete of the Week three times.
In the other criteria of being named TSU Male Athlete of the Year, Horton served his community by being a member of the Tennessee State Criminal Justice Organization. During his time with the organization, Horton helped raise money for needy families during Thanksgiving.
Horton, a native of Milwaukee, Wis., was apart of the Wisconsin Alliance, where he was honored as Mr. Wisconsin for his dedication to the organization. He also donated his time to read to elementary and middle-school aged children.
Horton won TSU Male Athlete of the Year in the award's inaugural year by being selected by the entire Tennessee State coaching staff.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

SYCAMORE – A special treat was waiting for South Prairie Elementary School students when they crept into the school's darkened library one January morning.
In the middle of the library sat a giant igloo of empty milk jugs, lit up with seven strands of red and blue lights and surrounded by books.
The students were ecstatic.
"It was absolutely fantastic," said South Prairie librarian Sue McCue.
The igloo, comprising more than 400 milk jugs, is one of the ways the librarians at South Prairie Elementary School, 820 Borden Ave., Sycamore, try to make reading more appealing to students from kindergarten to fifth grade.
"We do anything we can to encourage the kids to read more," McCue said.
During their library time Thursday, more than 20 third-graders carried around flashlights in the dark, reading books throughout the library. Many students took their books and flashlights inside the igloo to read.
McCue said she got the idea from one of her fellow reference librarians at the Sycamore Public Library. McCue and Tammy Johnston from the Sycamore Public Library, Sycamore School District 427 art teacher Ross Martin and South Prairie Elementary School technology specialist Joe McCormick all worked to build the igloo.
The secret behind its construction was plenty of hot glue, McCue said. As the milk jugs slowly started to pile in for the project and the igloo construction began, the students started to bring in the jugs more quickly, eager to see the final product.
Third-grader Tyler Hartmann said the best part about the igloo is its structure.
"It's pretty cool how it was made," he said.
Tyler wasn't the only one who was amazed by the masterpiece. Classmate Abby Johns said she likes the idea that so many students contributed to the construction of the igloo, as well.
"It was made by everyone," she said. "Everyone brought in the milk jugs."
Abby said she not only enjoyed having the igloo in the library but also liked reading the books that surrounded the igloo. Books such as "Antarctic Antics," "Recess at 20 Below" and "Look Inside an Igloo" have given students the opportunity to learn more about igloos and their surrounding environment.
As part of the school's Scholastic Book Fair next week, McCue and the other librarians will transform the igloo into a giant brain to go along with the theme of "Reading Gives You Super Power."
They will paint the igloo and label it with tissue paper to represent the different parts of the brain. She said the students will have the opportunity to read inside the brain, too.

André Øvredal's Norse mythology found footage film Trollhunter was a work of art, what with its giant trolls lumbering through the Norwegian landscape, sniffing down the blood of Christians. We loved it, so we're doubly excited that Øvredal's next undertaking is bringing the graphic novel Enormous to life.
The Hollywood Reporter notes that Øvredal and Hitman producer Adrian Askarieh are teaming up for a steady-cam adaptation of this graphic novel by Tim Daniel and Mehdi Cheggour. Enormous takes place on Earth, after it's been brutally invaded by thousands of hungry, giant monsters. Øvredal will be launching Enormous on a "transmedia" platform which includes a web series, a TV show, and a feature film. That's a lot of kaiju. Here's a synopsis and snippet of the book from a few months back:
In the midst of a planetary battle for food and fuel, a vast ecological cataclysm spawns THE ENORMOUS, massive beasts unlike anything ever witnessed. Humankind struggles to stave off extinction and the only law is to hunt or be hunted. It's an epic action adventure featuring the survival of the biggest!

1. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - Remake of an animated legend and storyboarded by the director of NGE, of all things. Definitely worth a watch.
2. Shingeki no Kyojin - Incredibly interesting premise and directed by Tetsuro Araki, director of Death Note (for better or for worse). Good enough for me.
3. Suisei no Galgantia - Created by the twisted mind of the Urobucher. Given how amazing Psycho Pass is going, he's definitely on a roll.
4. Ore no Imouto S2 - Honestly at this point the only reason I'm watching this is for Kuroneko. And... a lot of anime only viewers probably agree with me on this.
Some of the others will probably be tried first.

From what I'm looking forward to watch this season are in order expectations wise :
Valvrave the Liberator :
Expectation Level : High
Reason : I have lacking experience in mecha, but considering it has good animation as expected from Sunrise, I'll watch it.
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet :
Expectation Level : Medium-High
Reason : Anything Urobuchi creates is a must-watch for me, but I'm looking forward to see how much it stands out from his other titles.
Date A Live :
Expectation Level : Medium
Reason : Action-oriented harems were always been my favorite thing for me, so I don't miss it with this one.
Crime Edge of the Separated Cut :
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : Have low expectations, but the more than superb animation make me want to watch it.
My Youth's Romantic Comedy is Wrong as Expected :
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : I heard good things from it according to Seven of SeventhStyle, so I have enough reasons to watch it (not counting on how much I read the manga version as well).
The Perverted Prince and the Stony Cat :
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : Kantoku created those superb visuals. I have read the manga, and despite its top-tier strengths it had, the story looked so-so. I hope the anime will manage to make the story enjoyable enough for me, even though their visuals are inferior to the LN counterpart.
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : Not much interested at first, but after the seeing the anime artwork, it suddenly grows on me. The story doesn't seem like a masterpiece but I'll still watch it.
Zettai Boei Leviathan
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : I'm one of the few people who really enjoyed and loved Dragon Crisis!, so no surprise that I'm excited to watch another anime that revolve dragon girls, this time in the form of faeries !
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W
Expectation Level : Low
Reason : More comedic nonsense with otaku flavor and Hastur please ! Also, need more Nyaruko X Kuuko as well Mahiro's absolute badassery to come out soon !
Will try everything else as long as the fanbase's opinions say good things about them (especially Attack on Titans).

At the moment, 4 stand out for me:
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S: Sure, the Index series has been guilty of shoddy pacing and gets confusing at times but the characters keep me coming back.
Suisei no Gargantia: Two words. Gen Urobochi. NEXT
Devil Survivor 2: It's Atlus. I've always wanted to play these games but never really had the chance.
Attack on Titan: It reminds me somewhat of God Eater BURST - so sign me up for a few episodes.
And one more seems intriguing enough: Karneval. Yahari and Photo Kano may be others if they seem like they're going somewhere.

A little bit better than the Winter season...
Definitely watching:
RDG/Red Data Girl - seems interesting
Kakumeiki Valvralve - original Sunrise anime with Oosaka Ryouta and Kimura Ryouhei - how could I not?
Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000% - You bet.
Yondemasu yo Azazel-san S2 - YES, YES, FINALLY IT'S HERE!!
Will try:
Devil Survivor 2 - I've never heard of the game, and it seems a bit generic, but who knows?
Hataraku Maou-sama - unless it turns out to be one of those dime-a-dozen harem/romcom things.
Shima Kousaku - could be very pretentious, very boring or very good, it's worth a try.
Aku no hana - could be pretentious or actually interesting, we'll see.
Mushibugyou - seems fun!

Will watch for sure:
RDG/Red Date girl - It sounds very interesting and it's by P.A works, so I expect good production values.
Uchuu Senkan Yamato - It's the remake of a classic and I've heard very good things about it.
Devil Survivor 2 - I expect it will be good based on what I know from the game.
Ore no imouto - Watched the first season and it was decent enough in spite of its insufferable main heroine. Will watch for Kuroneko.
Shingeki no Kyojin - has potential to be amazing.
Valvrave - Mecha and Sunrise. I don't need more reasons.
Suisei no Gargantia- Urobuchi and Hanaharu. I don't need more reasons.
Hyakka Ryouran - First season was enjoyable. Also, tits.
Railgun S - Watched the first season.
Will try:
Date a live - Not sure what to expect but the light novels seem to be popular. Not that it means it will be any good.
Yahari - This doesn't sound very interesting but it's Brain's base, so I'll at least check it out.
Hataraku Maou-sama - could be fun

- Seitokai no Ichizon
- Mondaiji-tachi
- Mirai Nikki: Redial

Only two for me at the moment:
Devil Survivor 2 - I'm a fan of Shin Megami Tensei, but funnily enough Devil Survivor is the one sub-series from it I can't play because I hate it's gameplay style, so I'm hoping watching this will be a good alternative to experience it's story.
My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute 2 - Because I watched the first season and I'd like more than one show to watch for 3 months.
I would try watching Attack on Titan too if I hadn't already tried the manga. It seems pretty good, unfortunately it didn't really click with me.

I also sponged around the circle and sentiment with a wheat chalk ink. Another one of my favourite products is MIC's Chipboard Embellishments so I used two Ornate Corners but left them 'au naturel' this time because I wanted them to subtly ground the card rather than pop off the card. I challenged myself to use only one piece of DP fully intending to keep the card very simple. BUT I found these Prima flowers which matched the My Mind's Eye DP so well and then couldn't resist adding the pink webbed ribbon and hat pins from my stash so that the card sort of took on a life of it's own ~ haha. Sentiment was computer generated and framed using the Blossom, Tags and Accents Spellbinder die. Card base is 6×6 and the matting done with coloured cardstock from my stash.
I'd like to enter the following challenges:
- Papertake Weekly ~ Anything Goes
- Tammy's Scrapin Corner ~ Anything Goes
- Stamptacular Sunday ~ Pastels
- Throwdown Tuesday ~ Pastels
Happy Easter!


text: I have a major lifestyle ad shoot coming up. My current bodies are the 1D4 and 1Ds3. I decided to borrow the 1Dx from Canon CPS for the shoot. I've just discovered that the way the shoot will probably unfold, I'll probably need to fall back on my ancient photojournalism habits and use two bodies, one with a tele/zoom, the other more normal or wide angle. Now I'm thinking of going ahead and renting the 5D Mark III for the shoot as a second body. While I love my 1Ds3, I feel it's showing it's age in terms of autofocus and even more so, in write speeds to CF cards. I also figure in terms of menus and focusing, the 1Dx and 5D3 are very close, so less to deal with inuitively.My questions: Is the write speed of the 5D3 enough of an advantage to offset the larger buffer offered in my older 1Ds3? Can the 5D3 use Hi-speed sync of speedlites and the Pocket wizard TT1/TT5? I used a 5D3 a while back when it was first available and found that with a strobe outdoors, it always defaulted to 1/200, even though I had set my 580EX II to use hi-speed. Any thouhgts what I might have done wrong? (I was metering and set manually.)Thanks!Nemo

Update on Google Your Family Tree
If anyone knows how I can buy this book then please let me know.
2 comments:
In theory you'd be able to order direct from amazon.com (as opposed to amazon.co.uk) as they ship to the UK, but it's currently out of stock. There's obviously something very unusual about the distribution arrangements for this book, as I checked the AU supplier website which specifically states that this book can't be shipped to the US or UK (restriction is for that book only).ReplyDelete
I'd hazard a guess there's some legal issues going on behind the scenes affecting UK distribution that they obviously don't want to tell you about.
This looks a good book! If you go to www.abebooks.co.uk and put the title in the search box, one copy comes up. You'd have to pay shipping from the US which makes it a bit dear but if you really wanted it... Abe is like a consortium of online booksellers from all over the world.ReplyDelete

About Us | Academics | Alumni | Faculty/Staff | Scholarships
Dennis Gartman, '72 (BA, English), made a gift to the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences to establish the Dr. Sally K. Slocum Endowed Scholarship to honor his beloved former professor.
What your gift means to the Department of English:
Through contributions from alumni, friends, corporations and foundations, the Department of English is better able to provide the education and training necessary to prepare outstanding undergraduate and graduate students to meet the demands of the world.
Why Give?
The need for continuing private support of public higher education has never been greater. The rising cost of college requires that departments have access to funds for scholarships, capital projects, endowments and special needs. In fact, many employers may match charitable contributions to higher education institutions. Companies that have such matching programs enable their employees and retirees to double or triple their personal contribution.
Annual Giving Program
The University of Akron Annual Giving Program is the perfect way for alumni, parents, friends, faculty and staff to demonstrate their commitment to the department of their choice through annual financial support. Every gift, no matter how small or large, impacts the department in a positive way. Your giving can be directed to various departmental/university causes as desired.
Thank You
The University of Akron Department of English strives to provide a quality education to our undergraduate and graduate students. We thank you for your support and appreciate your continuing efforts to strengthen our program offerings.
Alumni and Friends
Welcome to the Department of English at the University of Akron.
Thanks to our alumni and other partners we have been able to provide over $30,000 each year in scholarships and prizes to our undergraduate and graduate students. Donations have also contributed to annual events such as the Shakespeare Festival.
Please consider giving online to support our department.

This isn't your grandmother's retirement.
Continue Reading Below
A new trend is emerging among retiring boomers as they shun the tradition retirement lifestyle that often included downsizing and moving to retirement communities, as some ditch their suburb life and move to cities to live out their golden years.
While this type of reverse-retirement may not be the norm, Nancy Thompson, AARP spokesperson, says a city retirement is appealing for a certain type of boomer.
And because there are just so many boomers, anything this generation does makes waves.
"It's interesting to a certain boomer the way age-segregated retirement locations are interesting to some people," says Thompson. "It's people with enough money to afford it and who are enterprising that are considering cities."
Thanks to a slowly-rebounding economy, Leeann Iacino, COO of Prudential California, says more retirees view cities as a viable and exciting alternative for their post-career lives.
"The economy is getting better; they may feel more secure about their funds in the stock market and there are a lot of amenities and facilities in urban areas," Iacino says. "People like to walk places instead of drive. It's one kind of lifestyle: a city lifestyle. We see a trend with more high-rise type living with cleaners, grocery stores and restaurants all within walking distance."
But Thompson cautions retirees considering relocating to a city that the process may mean living in a smaller place, but that might not equate to a lower cost of living.
"Even if you downsize, it will be more cash," she says. "Your four-bedroom place in the suburbs will be the same cost as a three-bedroom condo in a city."
Before relocating, boomers need to consider their finances and how long they plan to be retired before making a move, recommends Michael Corbett, consumer spokesperson for real estate website Trulia.
"If you are going to retire into a city, consider whether you want to rent or buy," he says. "It's a big financial question depending on your age—are you willing to make that big investment, or would you rather have that money free to live on?"
Things to Consider Before Relocating
Health Care Options. While cities may be vibrant and exciting, Iacino says to ensure you have access to health care before making a permanent move. "Make sure there are also amenities from independent care, to assisted care," she says.
And just because health-care is accessible, doesn't mean it's cheap, Corbett says.
"You need to ask questions—in a big city you don't want to have to go to the emergency room all the time; you need access to private doctors. This may be a challenge in a big city," he says. "If you are very wealthy, this may not matter, but for the average American these financial considerations are still important."
Entertainment. While big cities tend to offer a variety of entertainment options, retirees need to make sure they align with their interests.
Visiting the area before buying, and spending a decent amount of time in the locale is always smart, Iacino says. Speak to people who live there, talk to the businesses in the city and become familiar with the weather.
Transportation. Walking is great for health and exercise, but Thompson suggests making sure the city's public transportation is up to par.
"You should have easy access to transportation that is actually usable," she says. "In Arlington, Virginia, they have done a brilliant job of developing metro areas …the metro and busses are all easy to use, you don't have to walk down stairs, for example, to get into the subway. It's safe, convenient and user friendly."
For boomers that decide to make the leap into post-work city living, Thompson recommends choosing a living space that will be accommodative as they age.
"Can you enter the building without steps? If you develop limited mobility, you don't want your home to disable you even further," she says. "Convenience makes it easier on everyone for you to age in grace."

Wouldn't it be more Kirito's life story given that he's a major factor in all of it, while we also get to see the stories of the people who are closest to him as well? It's just that, aside from MR where she is the main character, Asuna doesn't seem to be featured quite as much as Aincrad and Fairy Dance.
Granted, she is still quite present and their relationship is still a large factor of Kirito's motivations.

Kirito had the same feelings of being the "hero" of Aincrad yet finding himself completely powerless back in reality. The scene near the end of Fairy Dance where he's attacked by what's-his-face in the parking lot of the hospital was the climax of that particular subplot, when he realizes that he does have strength, and that the lessons he learned in Aincrad can help him in reality. There's a funny moment when he realizes the knife is nothing compared to the weapons he's used to fighting against, so he has no reason to be scared of it.
XaXa goes through the same thing. He was strong in Aincrad. People would be afraid of even his name. He had power over the life and death of others. And then he suddenly lost all that. And, ultimately, he learns the same lesson that Kirito learned, that strength isn't just a matter of levels and numbers in-game. He took the willingness to kill that he developed in Aincrad and brought it back with him, to the misfortune of everyone else. It's essentially the same story that Fairy Dance told, about the rejection of or acceptance of the real world, told from the other side.
...although I've always thought it was kinda stupid that the agent guy never considered that they were being attacked by someone else in reality.

actually what most of the reader of this LN didn't notice is that ALL MAIN ARC IN THIS SERIES IS STILL RELATED WITH A CERTAIN FLOATING CASTLE IN A GAME CALLED SWORD ART ONLINE. By set the romance aside of course

I've got a question here about the SAO arc, I vaguely remember Kirito saying something about it but now I can't find it to save my life!
Basically, Kirito said that the major "selling point" of SAO aside from not having magic was that it was all about <<Sword Skills>> or something along those lines, right? That's why most people use swords due to the sword skills, right? Kirito has his one hand sword/dual blade skill, Asuna has her one hand rapier, Kline has katana/curved sword, Heathcliff has Holy Sword, etc etc.
I could've sworn there was a quote where he mentioned that only 'swords' got named weapon skills like Linear, Horizontal Square, Slant, Vorpal Thingy, etc. I've been looking in Volume 1 mostly so far but I've read up to the beginning of Vol 7 and every side story. Regardless I am trying to find a quote to back this statement up, I kinda remember him saying such a thing, which is a big reason why the game is called 'Sword' Art Online, but idk. I just can't find the part where he mentions that only swords have weapon skills. So I may or may not be wrong, but does anyone know for sure?
I had been thinking about this for a while because if it is true, why would anybody use a weapon aside from a sword? Thus far, we've seen the ubiquitous sword (1h+2h) along with daggers, spears, hammers, staves*, axes, polearms, and maybe more. Honestly I thought dual wield being a <<unique>> skill was a bit... lame. Why would someone use a dagger if they couldn't dual wield, for instance? "Rogue"-ish classes dual-wielding daggers is extremely popular in MMOs and is generally more popular than dual-wield swords. Perhaps it is just the Japanese fondness for swords? I guess daggers would have a low str-requirement to equip or something and rely on agi/dex for damage since speed would be important for such a short range weapon.
Speaking about weapons, Asuna mentions something about how a shield would slow her attacks/movement down and I can buy that, but as Heathcliff showed shields can also be used offensively and seemingly gives more benefits than disadvantages. Still, a dagger would have incredibly short range compared to a polearm/spear and is still at a disadvantage length wise vs a short sword. It also seems like rapiers are quicker than daggers, nullifying any reason whatsoever to even use them.. At least Asuna made it seem that way, but I think rapiers are also like daggers and would have low-str requirements and depend mostly upon agi/dex, due to the weight of the weapon.. but who knows.
*There was a 2h staff user in the Black Cats guild in the LN, along with the dagger using "thief," the mace/shield user Tetsuo, and two spear users that Sachi belonged to. In the anime however no person is shown using a staff within their group, not sure what happened there? A staff would be a pretty bad weapon in SAO in my opinion if you couldn't use it to channel magic or whatever. There's also a part where Kirito mentions the four different types of damage a weapon can do: slashing, blunt, thrusting, and piercing. The author really should have consolidated thrusting and piercing as both are the same thing really. I believe Kirito discussed them in the Murder in the Area side story.
Back to the main point, in the Black Swordsman SS, Silica practices combos with her dagger inside the inn and uses them during the quest with Kirito, implying that there is weapon skills for non sword weapons (after my edit below this point is now null since she uses the 1h sword skill with daggers, but the next point still remains valid). Additionally, in the 2nd episode of the anime it looks like Egil/Agil uses a 2h axe based skill to parry Illfang's sword before it could hit Kirito/Asuna who was on the ground. Note the glow of his weapon that signals a weapon skill. edit: After looking up Silica's character skills on BakaTsuki's ME section it seems that she was using <<1h short sword>> skill with her dagger equipped; or rather, there is no <<1h dagger>> skill. Seems strange that daggers would be classified under swords, no? Agil is clearly using the <<2h battle axe>> skill though, and even Asuna has some proficiency with using "2h assault spears."
Am I just imagining things about the whole "only swords have weapon skills" or is this another author induced plot hole? Maybe I am just wrong and was a bit delusional from lack of sleep and read something wrong? I really thought I read it somewhere... but maybe not.. lol.
On another note, the author could have included magic/ranged weapons that used a degree of skill to use. Normal "magic" that has a guaranteed hit chance is indeed overpowered like Kirito mentions but there is at least one way to make it fair. Anyone here that plays League of Legends will know what I am talking about - skillshots. Sorry for linking to another site but it explains how it works to anybody not familiar with the term. Basically when you activate the skill, a targeting reticle pops up that shows you the trajectory and it is up to the player to aim, lead, and fire. It is not a 100% chance hit ever, even at close range they can be evaded. I guess the author did not know about such a system since it isn't all that popular yet.
The cone-based skillshots would probably be too OP for SAO but the linear ones would fit in perfectly I think, since it isn't as easy as it looks to hit something when both the caster and the target move around. Most skillshots in LoL have different projectile speeds but none are impossible to dodge because they are too fast. I imagine if it was hypothetically incorporated into SAO the more powerful skillshots would be slower and perhaps explode on contact. It seems like the author almost used a similar idea with the Blade Throwing skill but according to Kirito is limited at best. It's a shame they couldn't incorporate some real projectile weapons/magic via a skillshot system.. cause GGO just takes it to extreme levels. (Matrix bullet dodge anyone?)

Since Silica does use 1h sword skill for using daggers, the only proof that I can think of that other weapons can use "sword skills" is Agil in episode 2, and the mace user in episode 3.

The sword was the best weapon in medieval times, but since it is (or should have been) a game with RPG elements, they had to introduce different weapons for different players who want to role play as assassins, monks (bare-handed) etc.
About daggers, Kirito mentioned there was a jagged dagger that had an additional effect of damaging/breaking weapons, though there should be a lot of other weapons with additional effects. What is unique so far about daggers is that they could apply poison on them (LC's Johnny Black), which so far no other weapon could. Other weapons may have advantages as well, maybe a spear piercing through armour?
About the staff, maybe the studio felt the same and simply cut it out? He could also have doneBojutsu in real life and picked it as his weapon simply out of nostalgia, but his weapon type wasn't really important for RNR.
It's probably the same with [One-handed Curve Sword] using [1hand Sword] skills.
When Kayaba designed the game, he wanted to create a world where [The Sword symbolizes the Player]. Even ALO only had a magic system at the beginning, with [Sword Skills] implemented after Vol. 4 .
If I as a player had to memorize all the relevant sword skills and magic incarnations from the beginning, it is too much to ask.
Haven't seen such a wall of text since someone decided to make original characters in a different thread, but at least there are paragraphs here

Oh man. So I thought I'd read the anime chapters, and started reading Volume 1, Chapter 1. I thought, "This is a little different..." but kept going for a few chapters waiting for the anime chapters to show up.
Then I gave up on spoilers and just read the whole volume. I figured it was too late to avoid spoilers anyway. The end was a real emotional whirlwind. But I needed closure on Asuna's story. So I kept going to volume 2, chapter 2 and AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH.
Then I skipped to the end of volume 4 because dammit, I wasn't going to wait 2 volumes for closure. Especially not after Sugou showed up to screw my happy ending.
Whew. I guess volume 1 was enjoyable enough. I did a fast scan of some early/middle chapters but I liked most of the later chapters.
Time to browse through volume 5 and 6.

I had been wondering about this for quite some time.
The players were trapped in SAO for more than 1 year+ right? If that so, what will happens to the players if they were not able to wake up after 5 years? Will the government still want to continue "spoon-feed" these freeloaders?
In fact, I am surprised that government or any authority figures bother to extends/preserves the life of the SAO players more than 6 months. If these really happened on our current reality/world, you can say goodbye to those 10k players.

As for who's paying for it, it wouldn't be the government directly but the families. It's just... a medical bill. I believe Japan has universal health care so in the end the government is paying for it, but it's not counted separately from them paying for all the routine doctor's visits and surgeries and whatnot. I'm not sure how much a coma patient costs, but I doubt it's much more than the kind of extensive medical treat old people need anyway.

Universal Health Insurance aside, The government (Meaning the JSDF and American Military) apparently is using this incident to look into the effects of using VR technology for Military purposes. And everyone knows when the Military gets into things, there's unlimited funds coming out of thin air.

Optimistically speaking, the government wants to save as many lives as possible from SAO. Which we all know cannot be the only motive they have, and probably not even close to being a motive.
Their true intentions are to acquire the technology behind SAO which they have spent 1 year + trying to crack but still unable to understand anything at all. Impossible to reverse engineer, especially when the inventor himself is alive and constantly working against any outside interference. You can see how this is a very, VERY attractive technology, and the players, the people who are trapped inside the virtual world are the only ones who hold the answer to it. To be able to get any players to wake up at all - that is to save them as a process - is extremely important, because that would give them information about what's happening inside the world.
That being said, as revealed in Volume 10, the government's true intentions was to use that technology for military purposes. AI vs AI. I don't want to go in depth about the details so just read it yourself.
On an unrelated note, AGGHHH I need new volumes SO BAD!

On second thought, this series is pretty dark due to political interference.

In addition to all the reasons mentioned above...
Do you really want to be the politician that says "Yea... let's pull the plug on these thousands of kids!"
This isn't some unknown aggregate number on a spreadsheet somewhere, SAO is an extremely high profile case that would no doubt continue to receive wide media attention, especially given the constant dying that goes on. Any politician that advocates pulling the plug on them to save mere pittance would be committing political suicide with a thermonuclear bomb.

If we know anything about dogs, it's that they like to chew on things. Puppies chew because they process things with their mouths just like babies, and they also teethe like human babies do. Adult dogs chew for exercise, to counteract boredom, and sometimes to alleviate feelings of anxiety or uncertainty. At BestBullySticks.com, we're dog owners just like you, and no matter the reason our dogs chew, it's our responsibility as dog owners to teach them appropriate chewing habits.
Our guideline for choosing dog chews that will encourage good chewing habits is simple: it has to be safe, healthy and last a long time. One of the best dog chews we've ever found is a Bully Stick. In fact, we're so impressed with Bully Sticks that we named our company after them! Our dogs love them, and we guarantee your dogs will, too.
The original Bully Sticks from BBS provide lots of chew time for your pooch. Made from free-range cattle, these Bully Sticks are made in South America, so you can feel good about supporting local business. Unlike rawhide chews, Bully Sticks are 100% digestible, so they're safe for your dog. As with all our Bully Sticks, these are single-ingredient dog chews, which means you won't find anything artificial in these products. Bully Sticks from other sources are often filled with preservatives, but not at Best Bully Sticks! Our bully sticks are baked until these 100% beef dog chews are perfectly chewable. Our original Bully Sticks come in lots of different sizes, so you'll have no trouble finding the perfect size for your four-legged friend.
Dogs like challenges, and here at BestBullySticks.com, we've come up with a great one in the form of Braided Bully Sticks. These durable dog chews are made by braiding three original Bully Sticks together to form an interesting texture your dog will love. Bully Sticks are naturally long lasting, and our Braided Bully Sticks are the king of hardy dog chews. Available in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 18 inches, you're sure to find Fido's perfect fit.
If you love beefy dog chews but hate the smell that can accompany them, we know exactly how you feel. At BBS, we happily offer a range of Odor Free Bully Sticks. Your dog gets all the satisfying chew time without the odor – what could be better? Other manufacturers remove odor by using harsh chemicals like bleach, which can harm your pet. At BestBullySticks.com, we simply bake our Bully Sticks longer to virtually eliminate the natural moisture that causes odor. Our Odor Free Bully Sticks are all natural and completely safe for your dog, and we carry a variety of sizes and shapes to keep your pup's interest including Spiral Odor Free Bully Sticks, Jumbo Odor Free Bully Sticks and Thin Odor Free Bully Sticks.
Here at BestBullySticks.com, we know Bully Sticks are one of the best dog chews available. They don't just promote healthy chewing habits, they encourage good oral hygiene and provide an outlet for your dog to exercise, teethe, and keep himself occupied. Dogs continually prove their ability to learn, and by teaching your pooch positive chewing habits you'll be establishing a healthy habit he'll carry throughout his lifetime.

Taking a look at the movies
Big Bad Wolves
"Big Bad Wolves" is a violent, twisted and darkly funny thriller. No wonder why Quentin Tarantino named it the best movie of 2013. A fairy tale for adults, the movie is about a string of child killings (the first victim, who leaves behind only a single red shoe, immediately brings to mind Little Red Riding Hood) and the men who capture the prime suspect, a schoolteacher named Dror. They plan to give him the full "Saw" treatment in an effort to make him confess, and that plan (involving broken fingers, torn-out toenails and a rusty saw) takes up a full hour of the movie.
This scenario might sound unbearable to all but the most hard-core genre fans, but Israeli writer-directors Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado pull it off with real panache. The script is genuinely tricky and keeps us guessing right up until the final few minutes. It's the kind of twisty thriller that fools you in a satisfying way, particularly during a creepy home-buying scene near the beginning in which we think we're being introduced to the real killer. The filmmakers use Tarantino's sense of humor better than anyone who isn't Tarantino, with increasingly absurd "interruptions" to the torture scenes. But viewers should be prepared for an intense level of violence (the recovery of the first victim's body is a virtual punch to the gut). It's almost better to watch this movie at home so you can skip through the tougher parts.
Metallica Through the Never
"Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire!"
If you recognize those lyrics, then you might be a Metallica fan. Or, at the very least, you might be (like me) a child of the late '80s and early '90s, when the heavy-metal was at its peak. The Black Album was a big deal when I was in middle school, so it was with a sense of nostalgia that I approached "Metallica Through the Never". Released in IMAX last fall, it's "a narrative movie in which a concert takes place." The narrative aspect isn't anything to write home about, but the band is still full of fuel and fire.
Amazingly, Metallica was in its 31st year when the movie was filmed. Lead singer James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich were both pushing 50, and they'd lost none of their ability to hold a stadium full of metal-heads in thrall. Director Nimrod Antal's high-definition cameras provide the best seat in the house. The disappointment is the narrative scenes with a roadie named Trip (Dane DeHaan), which don't mix well with the concert footage. But the concert itself is spectacular, proving that, after all these years, Metallica still has the power to rock you.

The Lipscomb men's golf team looks to finish the 2013 fall campaign on a winning note in its final two tournaments, beginning in Greenville, N.C. to take part in the Pirate Intercollegiate.
The intercollegiate is a 54-hole tournament on Monday and Tuesday, hosted by East Carolina University at the Brook Valley Country Club. The course is a transformed par-71 with a 6,653-yard layout.
In the two day tournament, 36 holes will be played on Monday and the final 18 on Tuesday.
Bisons coach Will Brewer will send senior Dustin Wilder, junior Paul Klein-Kracht and freshmen Dowling Armstrong, Sydney Chung and Mikey Feher.
The last time out, Feher posted a career-low 67 in the APSU Intercollegiate on his way to a fourth place finish. Feher leads the Bisons with a 71.5 stroke average over nine rounds. Feher has placed inside the top-10 in all three tournaments this fall.
Chung is second on the squad with an average of 72.6.
The Pirate Intercollegiate will field the toughest test to date for the Bisons. Eight teams will be competing, while Duke and Charlotte will send individuals only.
According to the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings, Charlotte ranks 56th, host ECU (69th), Duke (74th), Towson (103rd) and Presbyterian (146th). The Bisons are ranked at No. 195.
Round-by-round results will be posted on Lipscombsports.com.

It was a disappointing debut for the right-hander a day after being traded by the Boston Red Sox, and he dropped his 10th straight decision in a 4-3 defeat to the Dodgers at AT&T Park that sent the rivals back to Los Angeles with a sweep and the NL West lead.
Still searching for runs, the Giants were outscored 17-4 and lost for the 19th time in their last 25 home games. They have lost four straight overall.
"It's going to be important to put it behind us," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We have to regroup."
Carl Crawford hit an RBI triple to back Hyun-jin Ryu's third straight victory as the Dodgers grabbed momentum in the division as August approaches.
Ryu (12-5) moved within two wins of his rookie total last year and improved to 4-1 in five outings at AT&T Park, where in one dominant weekend, the Dodgers made quite a statement to take over the NL West's top spot.
"You make enough of a statement by winning three games," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Obviously it's something. That's all it is at that point because you have a lot of baseball to play. We're going to see these guys again. They're not going anywhere."
Peavy threw a pair of wild pitches in the fifth as the Dodgers went ahead on Hanley Ramirez's RBI single ahead of Crawford's triple to the corner in deep right field.
"I was comfortable tonight. I've played against the Dodgers quite a few times and I've played in this ballpark," Peavy said. "It was fun being on the right side. I just hate the way it turned out. I think I can get much better. I expect to get much better."
Again, Peavy suffered from a lack of run support, getting three or fewer runs of support for the 11th straight outing.
San Francisco was swept in the rivalry for the first time since June 24-26, 2013, at Dodger Stadium. The last Dodgers sweep at AT&T Park came July 27-29, 2012.
"It was great. To come out of here with a 1½-game lead, especially coming into it with a 1½-game deficit, obviously best-case scenario," first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said.
Buster Posey hit a solo home run in the fifth for San Francisco's first extra-base hit since Hunter Pence doubled in the ninth inning Wednesday at Philadelphia — the Giants' first three-game stretch without an extra-base hit since May 30-June 1, 2002.
yu struck out seven in six innings and improved to 8-2 in 11 road starts. Kenley Jansen followed scoreless innings by J.P. Howell and Brian Wilson for his 30th save.
Peavy (0-1) pitched a day after being traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Giants for a pair of minor league pitchers, reuniting him with former manager Bruce Bochy. Peavy pitched for Bochy and the Padres in the playoffs in 2005-06.
That understanding sure helps.
Bochy stuck with the right-hander to get through the sixth after he allowed a leadoff walk to Juan Uribe. Peavy drew regular roars from a lively sellout crowd at AT&T Park as fans found plenty to cheer for after a frustrating few days.
"I am high-strung out there and that's something I really can't change," Peavy said. "I'm going to give you everything I've got. I can't let my emotions get the better of me."
He allowed six hits and four runs — three earned — struck out five and walked two in six innings.
Peavy dropped to 14-3 with a 2.28 ERA in 26 starts against Los Angeles, including a three-hitter last Aug. 25 at Dodger Stadium in which he struck out five and walked one.
Second baseman Dan Uggla committed two errors, including one that helped tie it early after he scored the game's first run in the bottom of the third. Uggla's fielding error leading off the top of the fourth allowed Ramirez to reach and Uribe later singled in the tying run.
"It's a tough game sometimes," Bochy said. "You're going to make errors."
NOTES: Posey homered on a 3-0 pitch for the first time in his career. ... Former Giants closer Wilson drew cheers during pregame warmups, then boos for the beard when the Los Angeles reliever jogged out for the bottom of the eighth. ... Madison Bumgarner (12-7) pitches when San Francisco begins a three-game series at home with Pittsburgh on Monday night.

I noticed that this is not a "true" yellow, it leans more towards the orange side. In my goat milk base, this turned out to be a nice yellow with orange hints.
