How to Teach Your Dog to Stop Chewing Household Items: Learn the reasons why some dogs chew furniture, shoes and other household items and discover the steps to teach your dog to only chew his designated chew toys.
There can be some potential problems for dogs with chewing. These problems could be because of behavior issues they may be having. The problems could stem from their age, meaning being a puppy or a senior to not getting enough attention. The behavior of chewing can be damaging to your items, such as clothes, shoes, even carpets. When you see an item that is damaged by what you think is your dog's chewing behavior, be cautious because there may be more items you're not aware of yet.
Certain items are chewed on because a system for bad behavior was not instilled in them when they were puppies. Training can be done to correct this problem, but it may be more difficult than compared to when they were young. Taking the time to learn early on that your puppy is chewing on items can help you to correct it before it becomes a huge problem.
Older animals have a tendency to act differently than they used to. Perhaps dogs that used to not chew will suddenly chew on your favorite slippers. When a problem occurs with a senior dog, it becomes more of an issue. The dog may not know what it is really doing. Taking care in scolding the dog at this age is important. Removing the items in question could serve to be a better solution to not having them chewed on anymore.
These certain situations can cause potential destructive chewing behavior in dogs. Taking notice of when your dog starts chewing any of your items is the key to trying to prevent future destructive behavior.
Teething happens to puppies just like humans and when teeth start coming in, puppies want something to chew on. The dog looks for something to bite down on whether it is your shoe or a piece of furniture. You may start to see pieces of items all over the place, and this could be a reason why.Lack of activity can cause boredom for the dog in which case they may start chewing on things. You
If pet owners notice that their dogs are starting to chew a lot, then this behavior can be stopped by breaking the cycle. Every time a dog chews on something it reinforces this behavior. Immediately redirecting the dog's attention from the chewing behavior can prevent the behavior from becoming destructive. This is a behavioral modification technique, and pet owners can redirect their dog's attention by taking the dog for a walk, giving the dog something
It is really amazing what a dog can do to furniture. Sofas can be ripped to shreds, chairs chewed to bits, and mattresses can be torn and all the stuffing pulled out. If a dog begins to destroy furniture, expensive damage can occur. Whether dogs are small or large, if a dog decides to attack furniture the results can be awful. Fortunately this type of destructive behavior can be stopped once the root cause of
It is not unusual for cats and dogs to jump up on furniture, tables, and counters. If they do so when the owners are present, they can usually be discouraged by squirting them with a water pistol or by making a loud noise (e.g. with a horn, can full of stones, or whistle) whenever they jump up. It is important not to yell or shout when this is done or use physical punishment in response

NORMAN — According to a study by The MetLife Mature Market Institute and AARP Healthcare Options with Mathew Greenwald & Associates, 36 percent, or just more than one-third, of pre-retirees anticipate changing homes when they retire, with many planning to move to a different city or town.
Half of pre-retirees said being in a community with family and friends would be one of the three most important considerations in deciding where to live during their retirement years. For many, climate is an important consideration.
According to TopRetirements.com, natural beauty, recreational and cultural opportunities contribute to making cities appealing to retirees.
Norman has a low cost of living, affordable housing and many athletic and cultural amenities. Norman was recently named a top 10 city for frugal retirees by MoneyRates.com.
According to the website, frugal city rankings emerged by taking the U.S. metropolitan areas with the lowest costs of living based on 2012 data from C2ER and removing the cities that also appear on NeighborhoodScout's list of the 100 Most Dangerous Cities in America.
Norman is cited as having a cost of living that is 85.6 percent of the national average and a median home value of $143,316. The average state income tax in Oklahoma is 3 percent, and the average property tax rate in Oklahoma is 0.74 percent. The state sales tax rate is 4.5 percent, according to the study.

A St. Clair County judge on Wednesday vacated the guilty verdict of a man whose attorney argued prosecutors should have disclosed that the judge presiding over his jury trial was under federal investigation in a drug case.
The first-degree murder jury trial of Gregory Muse, 55, was presided over by former St. Clair County Judge Michael Cook. Muse was convicted of first-degree murder in March.
Circuit Judge Robert Haida listened to the arguments during a motion hearing and determined that Muse should be given a new trial. Cook resigned from the bench in May and now faces federal heroin and weapons charges. Cook has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Muse's motion to vacate the guilty verdict was based on the prosecution's failure to disclose the ongoing federal investigation of Cook. The arguments were presented by Muse's defense attorney, Erin Conner.
"Cook had an opportunity to recuse himself and prosecutors had the opportunity to ask for a substitute judge," Conner said. Conner argued that prosecutors should have disclosed the knowledge they had of the ongoing federal investigation of Cook and by failing to disclose that knowledge, the ability of Muse to receive a fair trial was undermined. Conner also argued that Cook had an ethical obligation to recuse himself from the trial and he did not do so.
Conner also argued that Cook appeared to slur his words during Muse's trial.
Deborah Phillips, an assistant state's attorney working for State's Attorney Brendan Kelly, argued that there was no evidence and the defense never claimed that Cook made any inappropriate rulings or errors during Muse's trial.
"That's the bottom line," she said.
Phillips also said that it's possible Cook's speech was slurred because he had to read 29 pages of jury instructions out loud.
Haida overturned Muse's conviction, explaining that he did so "in the interest of justice."
"My ruling in no way is based on criticism of the prosecutor's office for failure to disclose," he said. "As I sit here now, reviewing this matter, I can say with certainty that Gregory Muse needs a new trial."
Kelly has previously explained that his office could not share the information about the federal investigation of Cook because those involved in the investigation were under a federal nondisclosure agreement. If prosecutors asked for a continuance or a substitution of judge, they would have violated the nondisclosure agreement, which meant facing severe penalties from the federal government.
"Judges, public defenders and prosecutors are doing their level best to uphold their oaths and do their duty under the circumstances," Kelly said. "The court has ruled. We'll push on and prepare for trial."
Muse and Correy Ransom, 34, held up the Pawn Pros at 1115 State St. in East St. Louis at gunpoint on Aug. 27, 2011, according to police. As the two left the store with a plastic shopping bag and a pillowcase filled with jewelry, the pawnshop's owner, who legally possessed a gun, shot Ransom. Ransom was killed and Muse got away on foot. Muse was arrested a block away from the store. He was later charged in connection with the death of Ransom.
The week of Muse's trial, Cook met with Pike County Sheriff Paul Petty, who interviewed him regarding the death of Joe Christ, a longtime assistant state's attorney. Christ died at a Pike County hunting cabin owned by Cook's family. It was later revealed that Christ died of cocaine toxicity.
William Cosby, 29, of East St. Louis, previously convicted of first-degree murder, was granted a new trial earlier this month for the same reasons cited during Muse's motion hearing Wednesday. Cosby was convicted by a jury on April 26 of the first-degree murder of Antwan "Twix" Thomas, who was shot in the stomach outside an East St. Louis bar on April 9, 2012. His conviction came just over three weeks before Cook's arrest. Cook presided over the trial and all preliminary matters, motions and arguments in Cosby's case
A status conference for a new trial for Muse has been set for Dec. 11.

The OFPP administrator said his office is close to issuing new guidance around business cases for multiple award contracts and a final rule redefining inherently governmental jobs.

Oconee County Sheriff's deputies were called to a trailer in the Pinewood Estates South mobile home park last week where a worker with the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) said a woman had threatened to hit her with a broken, sharp, metal broom handle.
According to an incident report, it happened on Nov. 13 just before 4 p.m. The DFCS worker told deputies she had been refused access to the children at the home and a 36-year-old woman picked up the broom and attempted multiple times to strike her with it. She said she retreated to her car but the woman chased her and stuck the broom into the car through the passenger's side window and continued to swing it at her face saying, "I'm gonna hit you." A neighbor confirmed the DFCS worker's story.
When deputies spoke with the suspect, they say she became very irate, refused to get off of the phone and denied having tried to assault the DFCS worker. Furthermore, according to deputies, the woman refused to provide her name and birth date even after they told her she'd be arrested for non-compliance. The woman replied by saying, "well take me to jail then," according to the report. She then reportedly took a "fighting stance" and struggled with a deputy as he attempted to place the handcuffs on her.
Elizabeth Ayala was charged with obstruction of an officer and simple assault and taken to the Oconee County Jail where she was released later that day on a $1,500 bond.

What a great nation is America! Today, we are seeking safety for our children. Ironically, we have for 40 years "legally" killed more than 50 million of our own citizens, all children by abortion.
It's time for America to stand up, admit its sin and ask Almighty God to forgive us. Are we a civilized country or a barbaric one? It's time to turn things around!

A county sheriff says an 80-year-old farmer whose body was found under an earth-moving scraper near Ashton died of natural causes.
Sherman County Sheriff Michael Janulewicz says an autopsy on the body of Millard Vlach of Scotia showed he was not killed in an accident with the scraper.
Vlach's body was found by a passing farmer on Aug. 25 on the side of a gravel road about three miles north of Ashton, which is in central Nebraska.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Red Dot owners reopen Shepherd's in Tosa with new focus on food
The owners of the bar and restaurant the Red Dot on the east side have reopened Shepherd's bar in Wauwatosa.
Shepherd's, 6715 W. North Ave., closed last year, and Red Dot owners Martin and Claudia Beaudoin bought the building.
Now it has a new look and menu to go with the new ownership.
The ceiling's been opened up and the rafters and ductwork exposed, and the brick walls have been exposed as well. A new wooden floor was installed.
Works by local artists are displayed, with the artists changing monthly. Over the bar is a decorative wooden soffit constructed by a local shipwright, Bill Backes.
General manager Kathryn Goral said that the dining room and main bar areas are completed, but more remodeling is planned for the rest of the space; once that's finished, the restaurant-bar will be renamed Sherbrooke, for Martin Beaudoin's birthplace in Quebec.
Goral said the restaurant will apply for a grant from Wauwatosa to beautify the façade.
The menu will take a North Woods tack, Goral said, and also will have more French-Canadian dishes eventually; it already has poutine on the menu, the Quebec combo of fries, cheese curds and gravy.
The menu now has appetizers such as BLT crostini ($8) with tomato jam, candied bacon and lettuce; vegetable frites, fried zucchini, eggplant and portobello mushroom with cumin tzatziki sauce ($10) and wings ($10 for 12) with a choice of four sauces, Buffalo, jerk, Pacific barbecue and cilantro pesto.
Shepherd's also has sandwiches, burgers and salads, and fish fry on Fridays — breaded lake perch ($11) with potato latke, coleslaw and roll, as well as pan-seared grouper ($13) with crab-tomato sauce.
Saturday and Sunday brunch is expected to begin in about another month.
On the bar side, Shepherd's has some specialty cocktails, like the Crimson Canton (ginger liqueur, red wine, cranberry juice and ginger beer, $9). It also has nine beers on tap and 30 by the bottle; the majority of the craft brews are from Wisconsin.
The kitchen is open 4 to 11 p.m. daily; the bar is open later. A website is in the works.

Phoenix wire reports
NORMAN – Senior forward Romero Osby scored a career-high 29 points as the Oklahoma men's basketball team defeated Texas, 73-67, Monday evening at the Lloyd Noble Center.
The Sooners avoided losing consecutive games for the first time this season, following a loss up with a convincing win for the fourth time.
Osby, who shot 9-of-15 and also led OU with eight rebounds, took over for the Sooners on several occasions. Osby's third 3-pointer of the year with 12:26 left in the game gave OU its first double-digit lead of the game (48-36) and kickstarted nine consecutive points by the senior.
This was after Osby scored OU's final nine points of the first half to help the Sooners recover from their biggest deficit (24-19) of the game and take a 30-26 lead into the locker room.
Off to its worst start to conference play since 1976, Texas (8-10, 0-5) had no answer for Osby after top rebounder Jonathan Holmes left with a right wrist injury with just under 7 minutes left in the first half. Osby checked back into the game about 3 minutes later and took over.
Junior forward Amath M'Baye, who scored 15 for OU, completed several alley-oop dunks that sent the LNC crowd into a frenzy. Freshman guard Buddy Hield, who recorded 12 points, was on the other end of a few of those highlight reel plays, leading OU with four assists.
Senior guard Sam Grooms hit a free throw with 1:45 remaining to give the Sooners a 69-58 lead, as OU seemingly had the victory in hand.
Texas' Jaylen Bond split a pair of free throws and Ioannis Papaetrou nailed back-to-back 3-pointers to shrink OU's lead to 69-65 with a minute left.
Grooms split a pair of free throws of his own to put OU back up five, the Sooners followed it up with a defensive stop and Osby iced the game with two more free throws.
OSU falls to Baylor
WACO, Texas – Baylor's Pierre Jackson hit two 3-pointers and a tough inside basket in an 83-second span of the second half, while Isaiah Austin and Cory Jefferson finished with double-doubles and combining for 11 blocked shots as the Bears beat Oklahoma State 64-54 on Monday.
Austin, the 7-foot-1 freshman, had 10 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots for his seventh double-double for Baylor (13-5, 4-1 Big 12). Jefferson had 11 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks.
Jackson had only five points in the game's first 24 minutes before his quick eight-point spurt pushed Baylor ahead by 10 points. Unlike their double-digit lead in the first half, the Bears held on this time.
Le'Bryan Nash had 24 points for Oklahoma State (12-5, 2-3), including 10 in their 11-2 run going into halftime for a 28-27 lead.

HENRYVILLE — We Survived: A Hopeful Spirit after the Storm
Trish Gilles sat curled up on her new white sofa, carefully guarding her left hip from pressure. Just the week before, Trish endured what she hopes to be the last surgery related to injuries sustained in the Henryville tornado.
During the interview, Trish was not her typical upbeat self, instead revealing a significantly more pensive side of her personality. This is the last interview in the follow-up series, "We Survived: A Hopeful Spirit after the Storm," although there are plans to catch up with the Gilles family at the tornado's one-year mark.
Darrell sat on the floor, leaning his arms on the coffee table as he listened to his wife of 14 years talk about their new home and life in recovery after March 2.
The Gilles boys (Caleb, now age 12 and Collin, now 11) were in the basement playing video games, while 9-year-old Mia fidgeted on the couch next to her mother. The family moved into their new home Sept. 21 and immediately welcomed friends and family back to the same location where their first home stood. Driving down the gravel road to the Gilles home for the first time is a bit eerie, as large mounds of wood, dirt and debris remain on both sides of the road.
The mounds are the remnants of the Gilles' previous home and until they can be removed, stand as a constant reminder of their lives before March 2. The mounds contain the only home known to the Gilles children and the one where Trish and Darrell first became an independent married couple. Trish was clearly happy in that home filled with cherished memories. She spends time now wondering if anything will ever be the same and most days she is sure it will not.
The EF-4 tornado charged into the Gilles' home nearly eight months ago and each of the children have since celebrated their birthdays and countless major changes in their lives. While Trish and Darrell are grateful and fully aware of the significance of each child celebrating another birthday, they both wonder if life for them will ever settle into a comfortable pattern.
"You see, these kids have had to really grow up quickly," Darrell explained. "They saw things they never should have had to see and have come through it all with strength and resilience." Trish adds, "The words we use to describe our lives now are challenge and change."
The recovery process is obviously not over, and yet Trish and Darrell will tell you that losing their independence has already taken a considerable toll on not only their immediate family, but also for those who have loved and cared for them for the past several months. They both spoke of being more emotional and reactionary.
Trish continues to heal and Darrell deals with lingering pains from initial injuries, while the children have been blessed with good health and healed bodies. There appears to be no lingering nightmares and all three children claim they no longer fear the storms. Their parents know better.
Mia said, "The storms don't scare me now because I have a basement to run to for protection." Trish smiled and then scooted Mia off to play in another room. As Mia cheerfully skipped out of the room, Trish said, "Each of our children have a different way of responding when the storms come; they try to be brave but we can tell they become nervous and anxious." Darrell agrees, "They want to be near us and they become quiet … we respect their fear."
Trish and Darrell began talking about their new home and when asked if it feels like home, they stopped talking and wistfully looked at one another. After a moment of quiet reflection, the couple began a tag-team response. Trish softly responded, "We seem to be in conflict with the way we feel and way we think others believe we should feel."
Darrell explained, "We couldn't be more appreciative of everything that has been done for us … from Dale Doty and Cody Brock saving our lives, to the generous donations, to the contractors who built this awesome house at cost."
Trish picked up on Darrell's comment and added, "We absolutely know we are so very blessed to have all walked away from that horrible disaster with our lives — everything gone now was just our material possessions and most can be replaced; however, it is still a loss. Then we stop to think that so many lost much more from the tornado, including lost lives, and we feel a tremendous amount of guilt for feeling sad for our lost home."
Darrell walked out of the room and came back with a box of tissue and handed them to his wife.
Trish dropped her head as the tears slipped on to the pillow she held on her lap. She tried to sum up her feelings of sadness.
"The children seem to have easily adjusted to their new home, but I still feel I am visiting someone else's beautiful new house." Then she straightened her back and added, "I have yet to even put all of my clothes in the closet … I mean, I loved my little home, with all of its memories, all of its joy, and all of its comfort — it just didn't need to be messed with."
Both Darrell and Trish see this as a reality — no new home, furniture, basement or newly planted tree in the yard can ever restore the lives they led before the tornado. They have all changed. Still, nobody can deny that they have met the challenge, relented to change, and through it all, they have persevered and set out on the path to a peaceful recovery.
Although they realize now that nothing will ever be the same for them and their three children, Trish and Darrell feel certain that one day this new house will become their home. The transformation into their warm and loving home will likely occur seamlessly once the Gilles house is filled with laughter, memories and milestones.

Pros – Highly respected and forward thinking business, winning the lions share of its core market through thought leadership and innovation. Provides high quality customer service and IT solutions. This in turn provides excellent career opportunities, internal mobility is encouraged and greater international opportunities through more globalisation,. The next phase of growth is very exciting with major investment in two new market lines starting the bear fruit.
Cons – They work you hard! An outsourcing company works on tight margins and as such carries little fat. We all work with 100% effort and probably at 110% capacity all the time! If you want to coast or struggle to deliver to tight and pressured deadlines we are probably not the place for you.
Advice to Senior Management – Empower more and delegate decision making. You have some major talent coming through through the ranks, use it!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Hey guys, for the people who like Hybrid of theory n Meteora n dislike MTM n A thousand suns just keep listening to the old stuff. why you guys don't get it, This band had to bring something new and they can't do the same stuff over & over again, and that's what i like about Linkin Park, they are not afraid of taking a chance no matter what critic or haters said' so stop comparing This album with Hybrid ... n Meteora and accept it the way it is, if u don't, don't even bother yourself with listening to it.
Bye the way when I read stuff like that from you i can't even call u LP Fan
Fair points nerd! Maybe I jumbled my words a bit, but I do agree with you. I wasnt putting it all on Rick... But I do feel that names like Rick Rubin, Bob Rock etc... there just names. They don't guarantee you a good album.
Im not picking apart what you said... but when you were talking about how mtm was good, but not as great as the previous work. I feel.. it should be great! Your 100% IN...or your OUT. Or, you (the band i mean.. when I say "you") stop listening to the press, rolling stone, mtv, etc who do nothing but praise you... and listen to what the fans think. Take notes, see what works etc.
Its been well over a year... this is the best they could put out in a year?? If your unsure... bring in some fans... play some and see what they think. Beatles have done it, Bruce Springstein etc... whether you like them or not, they test songs out to see what the audience thinks. Why all these albums have to be a secret till the release is beyond me. And they do have responsibility to pleasing their fans that are paying money.
On the other hand... like you were saying with BT.. that album is great, and was more popular. He wrote POP for NSYNC. Great song... I dont think that song would have been as great if HE did it. He wrote a great song and aknowledged that it may not be something HE could do, but would sound great if a group like them did it... and it was!
Theres bands that spend less time, and a lot less money on their albums with better results. Gallows recorded Grey Britain in less time and the vocals from his bedroom. You dont have to like them.... but its just the point you can do anything..anywhere. Not enough people telling them "No". Elvis tested out his music in disguise to random open mic nights...

Blog Tags: Wisdom The Albatross
Not What You'd Call a Spring Chicken
Here's a story to make you smile: the oldest wild bird in the country is a new mom -- again.
The United States Geological Survey and Fish and Wildlife Service announced on Tuesday that 60-year-old Wisdom, a Laysan albatross and the oldest known wild bird in the United States, is a new mother. Wisdom lives in the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge in the Pacific northwest of the main Hawaiian island.
Albatrosses lay just one egg a year, and after a year in which they have successfully raised a chick, the birds may take a year off from breeding. Not Wisdom. She also nested in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Officials said she probably has raised 30 to 35 babies in her lifetime.
Wisdom's longevity is a hopeful sign amid otherwise distressing trends for the seabirds. Nineteen of the 21 species of albatross are threatened with extinction, according to the IUCN. Major threats to the birds include plastic pollution in the ocean and capture in long-line fisheries. The birds ingest marine debris, mostly plastic, and feed it to their chicks, lessening their chance of survival.
Let's hope more birds live as long as Wisdom. Help their chances: take our pledge to reduce your plastic use if you haven't already.

Police arrested 25 year old Linard Muckelroy, Junior of Hearne. He's now charged with robbery.
Investigators say he ripped the purse from the woman's arm causing minor injuries to the victim.
One of the witnesses says the suspect dropped the purse as they were chasing him.

HONOLULU — Craig Fujii spent the night of April 29, 1992, in two increasingly chaotic L.A. emergency rooms.
On his right temple throbbed a large, ugly lump, striped with swollen veins. His head hurt, he kept saying, over and over.
HONOLULU — Craig Fujii spent the night of April 29, 1992, in two increasingly chaotic L.A. emergency rooms.
On his right temple throbbed a large, ugly lump, striped with swollen veins. His head hurt, he kept saying, over and over.
The young Associated Press photographer had been beaten up at Florence and Normandie.
Someone had yanked off his cameras. He'd been kicked, his glasses smashed.
As he was finally being seen at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, firefighters in bloodied gear rushed in with one of their own who had been shot in the face.
Fujii found this out later, along with other chilling details: that he was beaten about 10 minutes before Reginald Denny, not 10 yards from where Denny had been violently dragged from his truck; that he and Denny seemed to have at least one attacker in common.
Fujii got banged up. He had a concussion and a nasty shiner. It took months for the knot on his temple to recede.
But in time, what he came to feel was grateful.
He was not permanently damaged, not dead. He was just one of the injured thousands, a bit player in a big moment in history.
As such, he could decide how much to let one awful experience take hold of him.
From the start, his mind seemed to be helping him make the choice.
Fujii had been handed what he calls "a crazy gift." He could remember only the edges of what had happened to him.
"If you were just going to replay something over and over, a bunch of people coming at you and swinging at you and hurting you — if you had to replay that over and over in your brain, if you kept seeing it over and over, that'd be horrifying," he said. "The beauty of the way our brains work is sometimes we don't remember things that are horribly bad."
Fujii's memories of April 29, 1992, are like shards of glass — each individually sharp, but far too few to reconstruct into a whole.
He is driving surface streets to the Forum, to shoot a Lakers playoff game, when he hears on KFWB about the crowd at Florence and Normandie. He thinks, it's pretty much on the way, he can go grab a few quick photos, then head on to the game. He doesn't call the office. ("I go cowboy.")
He is standing with others, staring at Tom's Liquor Store. He feels stunned and surprised. But at what? ("Was it a fire? Don't know. Was it people running out of the store? Don't remember.")
He is fumbling in the back of his red Honda Civic hatchback, feeling for his spare pair of glasses. ("If you can't see, is it still a memory?")
He is sitting in the front seat of his car and his face hurts. It hurts so much.
The attack itself? Gone. Leaving the scene? A blank.
So much of what he knows has been filled in by others.
Somehow, it seems, he drove himself to the Associated Press bureau in downtown L.A., though once there he seemed dazed and could not say where he'd been.
"He had this huge welt, like a ping-pong ball," said Scott Robinson, who was filing photos when Fujii walked in. "People kept peppering him with questions, 'Where's your car? Where's your gear?'"
He replied with his own questions, which he kept repeating, caught in a loop:
"What's going on?" "Am I going to be OK?" "Why does my head hurt?"
Robinson answered every few minutes as he took Fujii in search of help, first to a downtown ER crowded with gunshot victims, then to Cedars.
Fujii didn't seem to be hearing him. So Robinson started making things up — telling him of planets colliding, spaceships landing.
It was better, Robinson said, than focusing on what he was seeing and hearing.
"It was like we were in the middle of hell, like the whole world was imploding and we were at ground zero."
After the attack, Fujii was told to stay home from work. He sat in his apartment in Palms, watching TV footage of mayhem on the streets.
He was very much on edge and terribly scared. He felt violence could jump out at him from anywhere.
He also mourned what he saw as the loss of the Los Angeles he loved.
An optimistic 31-year-old born in Long Beach, Fujii had celebrated the idea of the many-colored, open-armed metropolis.
"I have this great memory of when I was a little kid, flying out of LAX and looking around and seeing people from everywhere coming to this city. They spoke different languages. They dressed differently. They had different skin colors. It seemed like such a promising, hopeful place," he said.
"Suddenly it was all taken away, this great big melting pot that is L.A. It sort of felt like the end of the world."
And sitting near him, as if in proof, was a handgun.
He had never shot one, never owned one, always been a pacifist. But when a worried friend called and offered him protection, Fujii was too frightened to resist.
"And here I was, me, with this stinking pistol by my side," he said.
A week or so later, Fujii made the choice to give the gun back.
He immediately felt great relief, he said. "I mean the faster it got out of my house, the more comfortable I was."

Dylan Link is one busy guy, and he prefers it that way.
"I don't like to be bored. If I'm just sitting at home with nothing to do, I'll start pacing the floors," the 19-year-old Ebensburg resident said. "I'm always trying to better myself and want to make each day better than yesterday."
Link, a Mount Aloysius College sophomore who is majoring in secondary education with a focus on history and political science, serves as the head coach for junior varsity boys basketball and assistant coach for varsity boys basketball at Bishop Carroll Catholic High School.
"I played basketball at Bishop Carroll and I always wanted to coach, so when I was asked to help out I figured it would be a great opportunity," he said.
He took on the positions last year and said coaching is very different than playing.
"Some people can play and some can coach, but there aren't a lot of people who can do both, so there's been challenges," Link said.
One of those challenges is coaching students he played ball with not so long ago.
"I'm working with a great group and they do show me respect," Link said. "We'll have our scuffles here and there, but they understand that I do know more than what they think I do and they listen to me."
Link said he plans to continue coaching and has aspirations to become a head coach or coach at a higher level.
"This has given me a chance to start somewhere and I'm really enjoying it, so we'll see what happens," he said.
He's also an avid golfer and received his first club when he was just 2 years old.
"I love the game," Link said. "I started playing in high school and was never too focused on it because I wanted to play basketball in college, but my senior year I really started to enjoy it."
He's currently on the golf team at Mount Aloysius and devotes as much time to honing his skills as possible.
"I like to be out there three or four times a week, and in the summer I'm out every day," Link said.
His dedication to golf is so strong that he has aspirations to go pro.
"I know it's a long shot and a big dream to have, but you have to have goals," Link said.
And for the past two years Link has worked as a certified PIAA basketball referee for local junior high and elementary school games.
"I just want to stay active in the game, and I like working with the younger kids," he said. "Hopefully, I can make it a better experience for them and they can learn more about the game."
Link also is active in several education and history clubs at Mount Aloysius and serves as a peer tutor.
Joe Skura, an English teacher and assistant athletic director at Bishop Carroll, called Link a class act guy who is driven, focused on his goals and dreams, and motivates everyone around him.
"As his former teacher I witnessed his ambition in my classroom every day," Skura said. "I now see him as a positive role model to our student athletes and an asset to our school community. I have no doubt he is going to go on and make big things happen."
But even with his full plate, Link has no plans to slow down.
"I want to be successful, whether it's with teaching, golf or coaching, and I feel like I'm waiting for an opportunity or chance I can take advantage of and then make the best of it," he said.
