Information About Assisted Living in Renton
The city of Renton's transformation from a fledgling outpost on the trail to Seattle to a dense urban center began in the 1930s when it became home to coal mines and logging equipment manufacturing.
During World War II, the Boeing Airplane Company settled there and the city's population exploded as people moved to the area to work at the manufacturing plant. Renton's booming industry and population have attracted urban development and amenities that can suit the needs of any Renton assisted living resident.
Renton Recreation
Seniors in Renton have numerous options for entertainment. The city offers retail, leisure and recreational activities at The Landing, a retail, residential and dining complex. The Landing is home to several major retail chains, restaurants and a 14-screen Regal Cinema.
Renton assisted living communities are some of the most well adorned in Washington due to their close proximity to the only IKEA store in the state. The Swedish-based furniture retailer is know for its inexpensive yet stylish furnishings. The store's massive warehouse is also home to a restaurant and food store specializing in Swedish cuisine.
Renton Activities
Many assisted living facilities provide a scheduled rotation of activities for their residents, but Renton senior living residents can also find recreational activities and social programs at the Renton Senior Activity Center.
The center offers free, drop-in access for seniors age 50 and older to services such as health screenings, legal advice and weekly transportation to local grocery and department stores.
Renton residents have access to great music performances from the Renton City Concert Bandwhich showcases wind and percussion instruments from local musicians.
The band performs at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center which is open year-round and hosts an assortment of musical, dance and other performing arts groups.
Renton Medical Facilities
Seniors can't take advantage all that Renton has to offer if they aren't feeling well, which is why Renton assisted living residents are fortunate to live near Valley Medical Center. Valley Medical Center is recognized for its treatment of stroke, sleep and joint conditions, as well as for providing outstanding treatment for patients with heart, cancer and neurological conditions.
Renton seniors may also visit Overlake Hospital Medical Center in the nearby city of Bellevue. The Overlake is home to a level III trauma facility, a specialized Senior Care program and a nursing program that is part of a national system of training nursing staff about the needs and care for elderly patients.
Renton Transportation
The Renton transit center is a major mass transit hub where residents from Renton senior living communities can hop on a King County Metro Transit bus to get anywhere within the city limits. From there, they can also catch a Sound Transit double-decker bus for a day trip into Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma and other nearby cities.
Seniors who have limited mobility may qualify for the ADA Paratransit Program and are eligible to take advantage of Metro's Access transportation service. The Access shuttles are specially equipped to handle wheelchairs and provide shared ride service along existing bus routes.
Renton assisted living seniors can enjoy quality living facilities, first-class medical care, and a wealth of recreational and cultural activities to keep them healthy and engaged. Find assisted living for your loved one by browsing our Renton assisted living page.

No one appears to have a handle on the numbers, but more than a few owners are registering the same complaint about the CVT-equipped 2013 Nissan Pathfinder: that it "shudders" and loses power when accelerating from a standstill or at low speeds. According to posters at places like Pathfinder Talk, Edmunds, Auto Recalls for Consumers and About Automobile, it happens between about 20 to 40 miles per hour, the sensation is described as being like "driving over a rumble strip" and the power loss occurs for about three to four seconds.
ABC 13 in Houston rode with Pathfinder owner Marlise Holzworth to experience the issue, Holzworth saying that it feels like her vehicle is about to stop when the shudder occurs. Nissan responded to the report, saying that, "A new part has been developed for 2013 Pathfinders that exhibit symptoms similar to those Ms. Holzworth describes. The necessary part should be available at Nissan dealers in June."
Likewise, according to a post on the PathfinderTalk forum, user Krsin97 was informed by a Nissan engineer in April that "[We] are aware of the problem and Nissan is working on update that will come out at the end of June to eliminate the problem."
We've reached out to Nissan for comment but haven't heard anything as of this writing. You can watch the ABC report in the video below.
UPDATE: Nissan officials emailed with us, just after this story had been published yesterday afternoon. In the email Nissan stated, "Our Consumer Affairs team has been in touch with the customer and will advise her on timing for having the vehicle serviced." Beyond that, the company stands by the statements made to ABC 13.

The road was bumpy. It was a scorching 40 degrees, and I could hear the stones bump and grind on the underbelly of the bus. Stone on metal. Made me laugh.. sticks and stones may break my bones… how untrue that words could never hurt… The sharp screeching of the are-we-gonna-make-it engine was almost soothing, insisting that I attend to that first rather than think about how I left. I wonder when They would notice that I wasn't there? Even without the dusty hillocks and screeching rusty engine, this road was always going to be bumpy. There was no other option. It was either this or blackness.
I don't know how long I was staring out of the window, focussing on the endless red dust as we traveled away from the red center and the taunts that led me to run… but as I blinked back the tears, I realised that the older woman across the aisle from me was looking at me.
As if she could see my burden, she reassured me with a soft smile and a nod of her head. She had no idea that I spent most of my recess and lunchtimes hiding in different toilets around school to avoid Them. She had no idea that when They found me, they would grab at my clothing and hair. She had no idea that They would flick my glasses off my face before They ran off. She had no idea that They would throw spitballs at the back of my head during Maths class. She had no idea that I cried myself to sleep every night. But somehow, she understood anyway. I tried to shift my face into what felt like it could be a smile, but I wasn't sure that I'd succeeded.
The dog behind me started whimpering and scratching at the side of the bus and the man that owner him scruffed his neck in playful reassurance, "it's ok boy, we'll get off the bus soon". Mr dog wasn't reassured and kept on with a quieter whimper.
Towards the front of the bus an elderly couple, dressed in tweed jackets despite the searing heat, sat in comfortable silence, hands clasped together while the bumpy ride jostled them in their seats. I wondered what it felt like to have somebody. Had they ever suffered so keenly that to vanish completely would seem like sweet relief? Surely not, they had each other.
I wondered if anyone had felt the heavy ball of friendlessness and hopelessness buried deep within that had been weighing me down ever since I started at that school.
I couldn't hold it back any longer. Tears stung my eyes.
The bus slammed on it's breaks and came to a screeching halt. Everyone grabbed the seats in front of them and steadied themselves as red dust clouded all around the bus. The tyre must have exploded.
We all looked at each other with worry and shock. We were in the middle of nowhere. The bus driver got out of his seat and walked down the aisle looking directly at me.
"I'm sorry love, but we've had a blowout. You'd best come with me to the next town, it's only a 5km walk down the road. We can find you another connection there."
I looked over at the woman, the elderly couple, the man and his dog…
"What about the others?" I asked
"What others?" he said, looking around blankly…
And as I blinked and looked around again, I realised I was sitting in toilet block E. The bell sounded, and it was time for Maths…

Dogs Humping People - A Stupid and Dirty Video Collection [NSFW]
One of the funniest things about domesticated canines is when they exhibit expressive, almost human features -- y'know, the stupid stuff like handshakes, smiling, and eating with silverware (maybe that's just our house). But it's that one undeniable faction of the human experience -- sex -- that results in super duper hilarity when, say, a dog is in heat and ready to go down to the boneyard. (Get it?)
Seeing dogs hump, much like classy grown-ups in the privacy of their own homes (or bordellos or whatever), is always funny. But it's witnessing a dog hump a real person that really drives that puppy home ("that puppy" being your LOLZ).
Here are some of the best videos we could find documenting the whoopsie daisies:

Organization for the school year
Chicago Tribune
There are certain truths that become evident at back-to-school time for most of us: The kids still haven't stopped growing and we need to update their comically ill-fitting wardrobes. The school supply list is longer, and the prices higher, than last year. The family is woefully disorganized.
Thank goodness for people such as Ellen Delap, a certified professional organizer in Kingwood, Texas, with a smart blog (professional-organizer.com/WordPress). She also works as a family manager coach. Her expertise can make that transition into the new school year, and the months ahead, smoother. Here are some tips from Delap.
Three-part process: Organizing for the school year goes beyond slapping a planner on the wall (though that's not a bad idea). Delap says there are three areas that need to be well-regulated: your house, your schedule and your finances. The house and schedule are obvious (more on them later). Financial organizing is sometimes overlooked. There are a lot of checks that need to go out in the fall extracurricular fees, ballet lessons and the like. Relegate them to one spot and keep on top of them. Bills, like scheduling, can be overwhelming when they start pouring in.
Command center: Set up a command center, one spot where all planning is done. It should have a desk-top sorter, a wall area with dry erase calendars, and wall pockets for papers (incoming mail, permission slips, school papers that need to be signed, tax receipts, etc.). Yes, we live in a growing electronic society, but we still have to deal with paperwork. Triage it, sorting the urgent from the merely important and the trash.
Family calendar: Whether digital or that calendar stuck to the wall or fridge, the calendar lists what's going on in individuals' lives, where they need to be and when. Potential conflicts can be headed off. "These are critical," Delap says.
Weekly meeting: A weekly family meeting is a great way to ensure everyone is in the game. "Families live in the moment so much, even something like a vacation, you won't talk about until the last minute," Delap says. A weekly meeting reminds everyone what is coming up. Attendance is mandatory. If one of the kids balks, well, have the meeting be the time allowances are handed out. The kids will attend.
Basic routines: Set specific times for regular tasks, based on family members' schedules. Is Saturday generally a slower day? Make that laundry day. Too much laundry for one day? Break the chore into two days. Make Friday grocery shopping night. "We always know the trash is collected a certain day," she says. "So find one or two family members to take the trash out the night before." Delap also suggests posting a chart listing the various jobs. "Then it's not like you're nagging."
'I hate this!' No one loves every task he or she is assigned. If little Rico grumbles about unloading the dishwasher, give him another job, one he will like better. It's all about getting the family to work as a team. "When you create these partnerships for responsibility, it's a lot more fun," Delap says. "No one wants to be left in the kitchen alone."
Dealing with emergencies: If you have a routine in place, family members can adjust to take up the slack for a missing member. That also serves to strengthen the family and engender a feeling of accomplishment.
Materials needed: Dry erase board, desktop sorter, supplies to organize papers and forms, calendar

Galenychuk's game winner came off a rebound from a shot by Tomas Plekanec.
It came after the Rangers' Chris Kreider scored with just 28.1 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 2-2.
A shot from Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi was deflected by Kreider and was knocked into the net off the skate of Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin.
The Canadiens had taken a 2-1 lead just minutes earlier. Montreal forward Daniel Briere fired the puck at the net, and it was kicked in by Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonough to give the Habs the lead with 3:02 to go in the third period.
The game took on somewhat of an ugly tone in the early minutes after Canadiens forward Brandon Prust knocked Rangers forward Derek Stepan out of the game with an open-ice hit that made contact at a point high on Stepan's body. Stepan did return to the game later in the period.
A few minutes later, Rangers forward Daniel Carcillo was called for charging on a hit on Prust, and was subsequently given a game misconduct. Replays appeared to show Carcillo making contact with a linesman with his elbow.
The Rangers opened the scoring with just under five minutes remaining in the first period on a goal by Carl Hagelin.
Montreal defenseman Andrei Markov tied the game with a goal a little more than three minutes into the second period.
Canadiens goaltender Dustin Tokarski made 35 saves in his first career postseason win. Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist made 22 saves.
The game took Ranger fans on a roller coaster ride of emotions, but in the end, fans who were at the Garden Thursday night left disappointed.
"We were on such a high, and then it was just like, you went right down," said one fan. "It was like, your adrenaline, you were just like, 'no.' It was so tough."
"Very disappointing," said another. "It's playoffs. It's tough hockey. It's a big game. It's a big team. It's Original Six. It's disappointing."
"Terribly disappointing, to get it to overtime in the closing seconds of regulation and then to lose it in 1:12 of overtime. The crowd was ready to explode," said a third. "Just didn't happen tonight, but we'll get 'em next time.
Montreal will try to even the series at Madison Square Garden in Game 4 Sunday night. That game starts at 8 p.m.

More than 60 people gathered at a northern Charlotte church on Thursday to protest a grand jury's decision earlier this week to not indict a Charlotte police officer accused of fatally shooting an unarmed man in September.
Local civil rights leaders at the meeting encouraged people disappointed with the decision to protest outside the Mecklenburg County Courthouse on Monday, when prosecutors plan to resubmit evidence about the killing to a grand jury.
Randall Kerrick, 28, was arrested just hours after he fatally shot 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell on Sept. 14. Investigators say the officer fired his gun 12 times, hitting Ferrell 10 times. Kerrick is white. Ferrell was black.
Ferrell had been involved in a car wreck in the Reedy Creek area of east Mecklenburg and may have been looking for help, his family's attorney said. Kerrick and two other officers were summoned to the area by a woman who said a man was trying to break into her house. Kerrick's attorneys said Ferrell did not comply with officers' commands to stop approaching.
On Monday, in a rare and unexpected move, grand jury members declined to indict Kerrick for voluntary manslaughter and asked prosecutors to submit a lesser charge for them to consider.
"What happened in that jury room, that was not a tragedy, that was an atrocious, diabolical act of evil," Kojo Nantambu, the head of the Charlotte chapter of the NAACP, told the crowd. "We're standing here because people don't have the integrity, the decency or the humanity to look at Jonathan Ferrell as a young man."
Kerrick is the first CMPD officer charged in connection with an on-duty shooting in at least 30 years. If convicted of voluntary manslaughter, he faces a prison term of between three and 11 years. His attorneys have said the shooting was tragic but justified.
The N.C. Attorney General's Office, which is prosecuting the case, plans to resubmit evidence about the fatal shooting to a different grand jury on Monday, hoping to get an indictment.
The NAACP and other civil rights advocates have long contended that the shooting indicates a problem within CMPD and the need for officers to get more cultural and sensitivity training. The shooting served as a rallying point for groups that pushed for move civilian oversight of police disciplinary decisions.

San Francisco resident Valerie Samson was a student at the Central Conservatory of Music when she witnessed and videotaped six weeks of demonstrations in Beijing. Her video (1.5 hour long) shows the inspired creativity of protesters around the city and at Tiananmen Square. It includes hunger strikers singing the children's song "I Love Beijing, Tiananmen" as well as excerpts of many other performances. As the tanks roll in, chanting voices join together in the darkness. The program will be in English and Mandarin; the video is in Mandarin. Discussion will follow.

Rated 5 out of 5?by klgriffin18 Great place to live! My husband and I have been living in Foxhaven Apartments for about half a year, and we really enjoy it. All of the neighbors seem very friendly, and I like how pet-friendly Foxhaven is. We love getting our own separate entrance and having a washer/dryer in our unit. It makes it feel like we live in a townhouse. The buildings/maintenance crew have been great so far too. As of this summer, they repaved the lot, repainted the parking space lines and numbers, trimmed the bushes, painted the front door (to everyone's homes), and cleaned off the balconies. Personally, I have been very impressed with the high level of upkeep here, and I've never lived in an apartment complex that takes such good care of its grounds. The pricing is affordable, and I'm so thankful we finally have a garage somewhere for our vehicles for the winter! I think you get more than what you pay for here, and I'd highly recommend it to a friend or family member if they were moving to the area. August 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5?by Foxhaven Home Pet Friendly, Sleepy Street with a Honest Management Team I started my search for an apartment early in 2014. My special needs were an office and a home for my two dogs. I looked at nine locations before coming to Foxhaven. I wish I would have came here first! I made the right choice last March and am not disappointed with the value. The management team answered all my questions with a straight forward style. Communicating in a timely and professional manner via email and phone. My checkin was thorough, making sure we checked all pluming and appliances. One small repair was taken care of quickly. Considering the number of furry friends on the street, my apartment is very quiet. My dogs love how the lawn is manicured and I love the pet waste stations on the street! For us humans, all my neighbors have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome. The location is perfect if your looking for a low traffic street but want access to everything on Bluemound Rd. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5?by Linn Excellent location, private entrance I have been living at Foxhaven for 3 years and it's been a great fit! I was looking for an apartment with a good location, private entrance, all the desired amenities and most importantly, a dog friendly environment. This is the place! The office and maintenance staff are very responsive and know me (and my dog) by name. Great diversity in tenants and a very safe apartment community. August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5?by Jill B Great Community We just moved out of Foxhaven apartments due to purchasing a home. Since we moved in, the staff was extremely accommodating. One of the office managers, Heather, was extremely helpful and very easy to get ahold of. Our apartment was clean, bright, and quiet. We loved that we had a fireplace, den, and most importantly that Foxhaven is a pet-friendly community. The property is very clean and well maintained. The neighbors are quiet and friendly, and someone is always out walking their dogs. I would definitely recommend these apartments to those looking for a quiet and nice community. July 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5?by Bekah Nice apartment I lived at Foxhaven for 6 years. Just moved out because I bought a house. The location is great and the property is very pet friendly. The apartments were well maintained. Definitely worth a try. February 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5?by Jae Be coming out dated. They take to long to get things fixed. Have a high turnover rate of Property Managers. Raise your rent ever year. Gutters are hardly cleaned out, they are over flowing with leaves. I have lived in the complex for 8 years. It gets worse every year. In the 8 years I have met some REALLY great neighbors. July 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5?by kiwi fox haven quality isnt the greatest The location is great. The layout is great. The quality of the building was just a bit iffy. November 10, 2012

Google vs. Microsoft: The Great Tech Debate
In fact, each delay of the new operating software seemed to also ratchet down its ambitions, until Vista became less of a revolution and more of a mere revision of XP.
Meanwhile, buzz started spreading about something called GoogleNet -- a free, all-in-one gateway to all information everywhere -- whether on your PC, in a library or anywhere on the Web. It was Gates' dream in 2002, only Google wasn't as likely to compromise. Of course, Google has never remotely commented on anything of the sort, but neither has it given any sign it's not headed in this direction.
Life After Search: True, Google can't ride the online-advertising wave forever. But online ads are so much better at connecting to customers than print and broadcast -- and at such a lower overall cost -- that it's got at least a year or two left and could get a second wind from the advent of
And then what? Google recently invited George Dyson to its buildings, and the scientific historian was surprised at how serious the Googlers were taking the idea of artificial intelligence. "We are not scanning all those books to be read by people," he was reportedly told. "We are scanning them to be read by an AI."Artificial intelligence? That would make for an ambitious second act. Last summer, Google copped to investing heavily in one area of AI: highly advanced automatic translators that factor in things like idioms that only a human translator can manage today. Tearing down language barriers would do wonders for broadening the market of Internet search, not to mention the new lines of revenue it could break open. By contrast, Microsoft can look forward to a few more upgrades of Windows and Office, plus growth in areas like the Xbox and security software, where it's recently gained an edge.

Star Wars at 30: 'Return to a Galaxy… Far, Far Away'
The Interweb age is in full swing, and consequently hype has become quite a different thing to what it was in 1983. With each of the Star Wars prequels, we have been able to watch endless trailers and teasers on the web, and access the official Wars site for further reams of information. Rumours, leaked images and the like filter through onto the online world regularly, and it's now more possible than ever to find out everything about a movie long before seeing the finished product.
Back then, the leak of data seemed far more under control. Though you could learn much from newspapers, and television fed a limited number of updates to viewers, it was less easy to be prepared for the film to come. Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back made for a heady broth of hype. The third part, or Episode VI, was as breathlessly awaited as any movie, a promised culmination of the saga that had led to welters of toys, books and other merchandise. Known until only weeks before its release as Revenge of the Jedi, the final chapter promised much, showing us the images of horrible looking new beasts, like Bib Fortuna, the albino butler to Jabba the Hutt, and the imposing looking Imperial Guards, with their flowing red robes and a single black slit where their eyes should have been.
The film's title changed slightly, once George Lucas pointed out that the Jedi didn't, in fact, get any vengeance, but more controversial was the alleged stretching of its BBFC 'U' certificate. Apparently, the movie was going to serve up fresh horrors, testing its audiences with adult themes, scenes of violence and a loathsome slug that had a liking for the ladies. The rating stood. Millions flocked to the theatres, making for a wildly profitable episode that wound up the series and wasn't overly damaged for being directed by a relative novice, the Cardiff-born Richard Marquand. A virtually critic-proof movie in 1983, time hasn't been altogether kind to it, with critics highlighting its flaws as irrevocably damaging to its climactic content.
But are they? Is the sixth - and numerically final - chapter a last let down from Lucas, or a masterpiece? Is it ruined by Ewoks, or saved by the epic confrontation between the only remaining Jedi knight and his nemesis?
Episode 6 - Return of the Jedi (1983)
At least the 'U' rating furore died down quickly, once people had been to see the film. If anything, Return of the Jedi panders to its younger viewers far more than its prequels, diluting the weighty issues set up in Empire with teddy bear heroes and a welter of puppet extras. The latter pop up en masse in ROTJ's early scenes, set in the world of gangster, Jabba the Hutt. Following an impressive opening, which gives us the dramatic image of a new and incomplete Death Star, the action moves to Tatooine, and a rescue attempt by our heroes. The object of their labours is Han Solo, still encased in carbonite and literally part of Jabba's furniture. In succession, the regulars make their way to his palace, get captured and conspire to set Han free.
During the original story discussions, the prospect of killing Solo off at the end of Empire was mooted. The character turned out to be far too popular to let that happen, yet you wonder how Episode VI might have developed if they hadn't thrown in this largely unnecessary episode. As an action set piece, the rescue is thrilling enough, but it doesn't advance the plot, and the characters never seem to be in any real danger. Besides, you'd think Admiral Ackbar and his Council cronies might have something to say about prominent Rebellion soldiers wilfully putting their lives in danger before the big push against the Empire. All churlishness aside, the 'Jabba' story only works sporadically. The Hutt lives in a darkened chamber, which is populated with a range of colourful animated aliens. It's all too much, an overbearing of muppets that might be all right in a Jim Henson production, but speaks of overkill here. Though the Wars has always had its fair share of weird and wonderful monsters, the assortment collected in Jabba's lair stretches the boundaries of fantasy. It looks less a hive of scum and villainy, and more like a zoo. As for Jabba himself, the man whose scene in Episode IV was cut has by now been re-imagined as a giant slug, replete with warty, leathery skin and mucus spilling from his enormous mouth. The wonder is that the animated creature doesn't look instantly laughable. Teams of puppeteers operated Jabba from the inside, and the effect isn't as bad as you might imagine. Again though, is it really necessary? As difficult as it is to imagine a big turdlike creature occupying a position of power, questions must be raised over the fancy he takes to Leia, who is far from sluglike in appearance. What's that all about?
The result of all this is a first third that entertains and is almost entirely meaningless. What makes it worse is that they've saved a diluted Han Solo, someone who is a mere shadow of the rogue from past episodes. The reasons for this are never entirely explained, almost as though his character was written in as an afterthought. Probably just as likely is the fact that by now, it's Luke Skywalker who is the centre of attention, the focal point in the battle between good and evil. Nothing wrong with that, though Mark Hamill worked best when he was the serious side to Harrison Ford's lighter and better fun protagonist. In ROTJ, Solo is reduced to a comic foil, a walking bag of clichéd tics, mannered banter and a wounded soul as he suddenly becomes less sure of himself in his quest to woo Leia.
For all that, even an emasculated Han is better than most morally dubious heroes, and as always he gets the pick of the film's comedic lines. Elsewhere, it's up to Luke to save ROTJ, and a manful job he does. A shame it is to see the demise of Yoda, certainly a highlight of Empire, and killed rather abruptly in his one scene here. It's a hallmark of both trilogies that characters who have been developed carefully are suddenly removed from the story. Consider Count Dooku in the prequels. Here, the Jedi Master has nothing more to do than answer Luke's - and our - questions that are left hanging from the previous instalment. Yoda reveals that Darth Vader is indeed his father, no doubt breaking several thousand kids' hearts who were hoping it was an elaborate lie, yet maintaining the story's weight and momentum. We also learn that Luke has a sister - Leia, which adds a slightly unsavoury dimension to one or two of the kisses shared by the siblings prior to the revelation, but at least shows why Darth was willing to fling his entire fleet after the escaping Millennium Falcon in Empire.
From there, ROTJ enters its extended final act, a three-pronged assault on our senses as the Rebels throw the dice one last time. It's an ambitious and spectacular hour of film, cranking up the tension mercilessly with each group of friends trying - and often failing - to help the others in their quest for survival. The best, largely because it can't go wrong, is the attack on the Death Star led by Lando Calrissian. Billy Dee Williams is nobody's idea of a convincing leader, but he doesn't really have to be, settling back into the seat of the Falcon and letting ILM's superb effects carry the burden. For the most part, Lando's leg of the tail involves him and the Rebel fleet dovetailing around much bigger ships as they wait for their pals on Endor to destroy the Death Star's shield. Once this happens, they'll be able to fly into the structure and destroy it by knocking out its reactor… just like in the original movie! We all know that the Emperor's over-confidence is his weakness, but surely planning a battle station with the same soft underbelly as its predecessor borders on the reckless. Or, dare I say, a shortfall in the plot…
While Lando ducks and weaves in space, Han and Leia lead a strike team on Endor, the forest moon where the Death Star's shield happens to be located. Some of the action here is fantastic. The speeder bikes are inspired inventions, accelerating through the jungle maze at an impossible pace. But then, you get your first glimpse of an Ewok and all the goodwill built up by the bikes and Han's sarcastic wit is tarnished. I often wonder who at Lucasfilm thought that cute teddy bears were a good idea, how they were greenlit beyond the drawing stage until their ultimate insertion in the movie. A lot of people considered the final form of the Ewoks to be viable, and they were all wrong. There's something to be said for the 'heart versus technology' conflict that decides the battle on the forest moon, and the Ewoks certainly turn their natural environment into a series of clever traps for stormtroopers to walk blindly into. However, they're so cheesy, so loveable and cornball that nobody over the age of 10 should have anything but disdain for them. The scene where C-3PO recounts the heroes' adventures thus far to the Ewoks is toe-curlingly embarassing, as is the way they keep butting into the main characters with their little bodies and shrill voices. It's all a frustrated Han can do not to batter them senselessly once they're within a three-feet radius. Just like in Jabba's palace, there's no need for this plethora of new creatures where the main players might have prevailed. As they romp across the screen, emitting strings of unintelligible dialogue, you can almost hear the crisp flicking of many banknotes as Lucas explores the merchandising opportunities they bring.
That leaves Luke's impossible mission, his attempt to destroy the Emperor and be reunited with his father. In ROTJ, Skywalker bears little resemblance to the callow youth from A New Hope. Mature, solemn and having swapped his desert whites for a familial all-black outfit, the movie's hero actually seeks Vader out, outlining his intentions from the start. What seems like a fool's errand actually has a spark of hope, as it's made clear Darth isn't quite as single-minded as we may have believed. He senses Luke's presence when the Emperor does not. When he tells his son that it's too late for him, the words sound almost like a plea, the first time he's shown any sign of weakness in the entire trilogy.
As the battle rages on, Luke is brought before the Emperor himself, Darth Sidious. Bizarrely, Ian McDiarmid looks somehow older in this than in Revenge of the Sith, despite the actor being 22 years younger when filming ROTJ. As always, he makes for a fantastic villain. You can see the confidence visibly sap from Skywalker as Sidious reveals the extent of his plans for both the Rebellion and himself. Later, he will coerce the young Jedi into a final scrap with his father, the culmination of another scheme gone horribly right… as long as the pair don't team up, of course. In any event, it's a grisly plan. Luke is intended to kill his own dad, and from there become the Emperor's new apprentice. As unlikely as this sounds, it almost works. Darth's power has diminished. His offspring's has grown, and the really awful part is that, whatever else happens, the older man is quite accepting that he won't come out of this alive.
I found myself getting a little emotional as the Sith Lord threw his master over the side of the endlessly deep Death Star shaft, the sort that's obviously favoured by Imperial architects. It was six movies in, a long haul viewing session through an uneven body of work, yet here we were, at last finding that Anakin Skywalker was indeed the one to bring balance to the force, albeit after going through hell to get there. And he didn't do it through any high minded ideal, but for his boy, to save Luke from being pulverised by Sidious's lightning attack. However you choose to look at it, the ending is packed with emotion, a high point that isn't sustained when Luke pulls Vader's mask off, or with the rather standard celebrations across the galaxy that close both the film and the saga.
The latter is the most visible instance of fresh CGI being inserted into the 'Special Edition.' I remember the party at the end of the theatrical version being confined to Endor, Alliance bods and Ewoks enjoying a few mutual backslaps and fireworks. Suddenly, this has extended across the known galaxy. Mos Eisley, Naboo, Cloud City and Coruscant are all shown in 'VE Day' style dancing in the streets, which adds another image to the catalogue of suggested 'Us versus the Nazis' parallels thrown in throughout the series. It's all fine, if horribly overblown, and I would similarly question whether Lucas really had to alter the closing song, which is no better or worse than the schmaltzy pap that signed off the 1983 edition.
More clumsy is the attempt to round off the series with its links to the prequels intact. Luke sees the ghostly images of past Jedi. Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin smile back at him, a job well done and balance duly returned to the force, but wait! That's not Luke's dad, the genial one from behind Darth's mask - it's Hayden Christensen, looking a bit embarassed to be there. As well he might - what was the point in including the younger Skywalker at the end? What would seeing him mean to Luke, when surely Sebastian Shaw is a far more appropriate fatherly figure? If you're going to show Christensen, why does Obi-Wan have to appear in the ghostly shape of Alec Guinness? Why not the more youthful Ewan McGregor? An explanation for young Anakin's reappearance is offered on the IMDb FAQs. It's suggested that, having returned ultimately to the good side, Skywalker Snr is able to revert to the state he was at before joining the Sith. Had Shaw's image been used, the FAQ argues, logically he would have had to appear without an arm and his legs, a consequence of his physical condition at the time. As sound enough as this reasoning appears to be, it's still true that for many viewers, the moment is one that jars horribly. I'm yet to be convinced that Christensen's cameo is anything more than a gimmick.
Griping aside, and attempting to ignore Lucas's relentless larking around with his films, what's left is a mixed bag of a movie. There isn't much to the final chapter, once its superfluous Jabba sequence is filtered out. Everything significant happens in the last hour. Luke's story arc, and the space battle, are impressively worked. The former has emotional power; the latter looks great. Admiral Ackbar should have featured more regularly. It's not often enough that you see thousands of men being led by a shrimp. On Endor, the Ewoks are an insult to most viewers' intelligence, but at least the chemistry between Leia and Han remains intact, and a break comes for the smuggler once it's conveniently revealed that his young rival for the princess's affections is actually related to her. The effects work in ROTJ is generally stunning, ILM clearly in full swing by this stage. Yet too often, the action defers to its younger audience, patronising everyone with a galaxy of weird and wonderful extras that, whilst looking good, distracts from the action and comes across as dispensing plot in favour of visuals. Sadly, this is a template that was carried into Episode I, sixteen years later.
And with that, my work on the Wars is done. I hope you've enjoyed it, and my apologies for spending longer dwelling over the chronologically later episodes. The truth is these are films I've watched many times, and my wish to find critical comments to make has to be measured against the fact I love them helplessly. They're part of my childhood, after all, which makes me wonder sometimes if the slating of the prequels comes perhaps from adults who are finding the Wars to be generally a lot less weighty and meaningful than they were when the reviewers themselves were youths. Certainly, I find the only genuinely excellent piece of work throughout the entire saga to be The Empire Strikes Back. The others all have their moments, and their low points, and I suspect Episodes I - III might have turned out to be much better movies if Lucas had deferred on script writing and directorial duties, handing them over to more competent craftsmen. It's his vision, his story, and his technology behind it all - did he really have to work on areas of the production where he clearly wasn't the best man for the job? I guess we'll never know what the flawed prequels could have been in different hands, though Empire - and to a lesser extent, the competently directed ROTJ - were by no means harmed for Lucas taking a back seat.
Despite this, by most peoples' standards the movies still carry all the power of a good blaster. It's a testament that though many film makers have tried to outdo the Wars over the years, it's only The Lord of the Rings that has left it in the shade. Peter Jackson, an admirer of Lucas's world, put together an epic that has finally surpassed it, which isn't bad going for a series that began three decades ago. Then again, the screenplay for the Rings was laboured over for years, and it just so happened to enjoy perfect examples of casting, featuring actors who wore their parts like favourite slippers. These elements, crucial in Jackson's films, just as they were glossed over in Lucas's, show where the Wars occasionally went wrong.
For all that, seeing them over again was always fun, and never a chore. I've watched better movies, many times, but I keep returning to them. The Boy loves his Wars also, considering the thirty-year old A New Hope to be his favourite. They might not be perfect films, but they have staying power, and are obviously guided by a force that is too powerful for my weak mind. May it be with you, always.

Brothers & Sisters Review: "Faking It"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
It's not that Brothers & Sisters is no longer enjoyable, but there's been a void since the start of the season. Not Rob Lowe's physical absence, either. Something harder to pinpoint.
Perhaps this is what happens to most series over time. The spark just fades.
From the story lines set up at the onset, "Faking It" had the makings of vintage B&S, blending emotion, heart and humor. Instead, it just fizzled a bit. Some of the luster is gone.
It didn't help that we knew for a fact going in that Justin and Rebecca's relationship was not going to be salvaged, thanks to Emily VanCamp's announced departure from the show.
A hastily-written exit for Rebecca also cheapened the best moments she and Justin shared over the years, when we truly enjoyed their courtship. Last night just felt unnecessary.
Their big "talk" basically amounted to the age-old argument over whether she can trust Justin. Survey says? No! Don't even get us started on Holly's memory problems, either ...Has there ever been a hokier gimmick than this? She remembers who David and Nora are, but has no clue Rebecca is? Sure, it's theoretically possible. But it's forced melodrama.
Of course, Rebecca flees to Justin after Holly forgets her, and while they are officially divorced, neither has told anyone. Just tell them and get it over with, guys. The time is now.
Meanwhile, Holly runs away (!), leading to a 911 call from David. We actually found Holly to be an interesting character, so this soapy turn for the worst has us rolling our eyes.
Kitty's story line at least isn't quite as ridiculous. It is, however, largely boilerplate stuff. After a pipe bursts at her rented house, she flirts with the hot plumber who checks it out.
After lying about her urbane roots to gain his acceptance, they go on a date, which is a predictable disaster, but then patch things up and decide to give it a second shot. Shucks.
Nora and Sarah may not be lying about who they are, but they're lying about how old they are. Sarah has a birthday, and it turns out has never told handsome Luc her real age.
Here's a prime example of the show losing its luster a bit. Kitty and Kevin call to needle her and find out about this lie, but it's just not as funny as we'd expect. Step it up, gang.
Nora has been recommended (gasp) to a plastic surgeon! OMG! No way would our Nora even think about it ... let alone take Sarah with her after the cat's out of the bag. Please.
Again, there was no real comedic payoff in this, which could have made it a little more bearable. It simply wasn't that compelling to watch, despite our love for Sally and Rachel.
Shockingly, Luc knew Sarah's age all along (via her license) and Nora learns (via Saul) that she's perfect the way she is, just a little lonely at this point in her life. No surgeries.
Emboldened, she quits the floral shop, at which the boss had been making old jokes at her when Sally Field looks the same age as her, and you get the idea. Just not great TV.
Brothers & Sisters is all about 1) Wine. 2) Family. 3) More wine, please! 4) Sarcasm. 5) Overbearing parents and siblings who drive each other insane, but love each other dearly.
Somehow, this formula has given way to over-the-top and/or boring stories, with the humor quotient diminished as well. Hopefully this is just a blip ... but we have our doubts.

P.S. I also totally agree with Belinda. I just read your post right now and it's exactly how I feel. I miss Joe, I miss Tommy, Rebecca and my heart still is crying over Robert. Kitty kissing another man is way too soon. The show isn't what it used to be, unfortunately. The only thing I'm happy about, is the fact that they didn't turn Robert & Kitty's marriage and their amazing chemistry into the trash can by writing them off. Robert dying was awful, terrible, heart-breaking but a divorce would be worse. Now I can stop watching and leave it at that, which is hard enough... :-(
I agree, B&S has totally lost it's spark. The storylines got worse, then the few magic things they had turned for the worst: first Sarah's marriage fell apart (the guy was hot!), then Tommy left (AWFUL!), then Sarah hooked up with a hottie but switched him for totally-not-hot-or-good-looking-Luc, then the Rebecca/Justin marriage also fell apart, they throw in another silly story with Saul and finally they end it all with Robert dying, killing off the major draw they had in this show. Add odd stuff like Holly having amnesia, it all is too far fetched and not interesting to watch. I don't care about kevin/scotty or Luc or Sarah/Luc or Saul! The only characters I liked were Kitty & Robert, Tommy, Sarah (that all changed with Luc in the picture), Justin & Rebecca. All the good characters are gone or the good stories are gone! I can't bear to watch Kitty flirting with anyone else after Robert died, after all those beautiful love scenes they had together... and besides that, what is there left to watch?! So I stopped watching after E01. It's a shame that a one time good show turned this bad and lost their values so quickly...
I personally agree with the reviewer that the show has lost the spark, there's been a cloud hanging over this show and it's been slowly growing, and predictably the cast departures certainly aren't helping. It's bad enough that Rob Lowe and Balthazar Getty left the show, and now Emily VanCamp. What used to be about family, fun, and laughter has now become filled with melodrama and divorce and it just feels like the show is dragging itself along. The episodes are still well written and well acted, I don't doubt that, but what used to make me enjoy and laugh about this show has slowly been breaking up amidst all these cast departures that I just feel like this show is trying to get itself off life-support. First Joe and Sarah break up, then Tommy and Julia, and now Justin and Rebecca, if Robert hadn't died in a car wreck or that Rob Lowe wasn't that famous of an actor for them to let go, it would have been a matter of time before they decided to break up that couple too instead of Robert and Kitty working out their issues. It's amazing that Scotty and Kevin stayed together for so long. I love this show, I still do, but I feel tired now watching it when I used to feel joy, and yes part of it is because Robert is dead, I don't deny that, but I just feel what used to be about family is slowly fading. And personally, the Kitty romance thing is coming on way too fast for me. I mean, they're kissing next episode, it's just way too soon.
I agree that the show isn't as strong as it used to be. I still enjoy it but it should have ended when they found Narrow Lake. The whole show was based upon the dead husband's secrets and there aren't any more secrets.
LOL, I was going to write a whole reply to the review but Anthony summarized well what I wanted to say.
As one last addition, IMO it's not out of character for Nora to be remotely interested on plastic surgery. That's what women look for when they have confidence and self-esteem issues. And clearly Nora is still recovering from the traumatic crash, so it's really very understandable.
Wow this review was way too harsh, I am enjoying the fresh start to this season. Several of the storylines (especially Kitty and Sarah's) were definitely vintage B&S-like. Of course the show isn't going to feel the same as it did a year or two ago, that was the whole point of the time jump, so that in the new season the writers can begin to develop new relationships and dilemmas, similar to that of an entirely new series. Your critiques of this season have been unecessarily harsh, and while the same "spark" from the first and second seasons may not be evident right now, the show is still far better than you're making it out to sound.
What I do not understand is that Nora was working in the flower shop as she needed the money and then is shopping around for plastic surgery!! Sort it out people!!
this review sucks a trillion times worse than the show. i thought it was an average episode, but this reviewer is just doing sarcasm for kicks and needling the episode to death needlessly. it doesn't make you a (seemingly) intelligent critic, it just makes you annoying.

In 1937, Nanking stands at the forefront of a war between China and Japan. As the invading Japanese Imperial Army overruns China's capital city, desperate civilians seek refuge behind the nominally protective walls of a western cathedral. Here, John Miller (Christian Bale), an American trapped amidst the chaos of battle and the ensuing occupation takes shelter, joined by a group of innocent schoolgirls and thirteen courtesans, equally determined to escape the horrors taking place outside the church walls. Struggling to survive the violence and persecution wrought by the Japanese army, it is an act of heroism which eventually leads the seemingly disparate group to fight back, risking their lives for the sake of everyone. Through treacherous surroundings and facing unimaginable evil, The Flowers of War, inspired by true life events, manages to tell a genuine story of hope, love and sacrifice.

Eritrea withdraw from Africa Cup
Addis Ababa, 31 March 2014 (WIC) - Eritrea withdrew from the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying competition Sunday, the organizers said in a statement.
The 'Red Sea Camels' were due to play fellow east Africans South Sudan during April in a two-leg preliminary tie.
No explanation was given for the pull-out, but it could be linked to continuous defections when Eritrean football teams visit other countries.
Nine players and a coach disappeared in Kenya last December when Eritrea were eliminated after the group stage of the East and Central Africa Senior Challenge Cup.
President Isaias Afewerki has ruled the one-party Horn of Africa country since independence from Ethiopia 21 years ago. (globalpost.com)
