About Gina B.Close
Careful private work on shape and function of the body, part by part. Breaking down the language of the movement so you know what you are doing when and how to carefully develop the parts that are weakest by separating them from the mix of all the movement and then studying them minutely until the physical process makes sense to your mind and body. Musicality from the moment you stand in first position. Relationship to music in the form itself and toward the music you are hearing. Turns, jumps, adagio, petite allegro, alignment, balance. Barre. Center. Feet. Head.....
About Gina
I've completed two graduate degrees: one in Music and the other in Dance and Theater studies.
My undergrad degree is from The Juilliard School and it is in Dance.
I've taught children and grown ups for many years. I have a strong performing career and love the way teaching keeps me in a giving and learning place.
*** Lesson Details ***
With beginning students I am very laid back and patient and believe strongly that in the play of games and experiments technique will develop and manifest. As the student becomes more advanced I become more demanding as do the materials.
As an Acting teacher I have the capacity to take students along all the way to professional and beyond. I'm a membe
For Dance, I have a wide knowledge and can teach several forms as well as history and materials. In Juilliard I specialized in historical dance of the French Court which is also known as pre-ballet. At present I am studying Tango and other ballroom forms and can teach the beginning levels as well as help choreograph for weddings or events. Of course I also teach Ballet and many forms of Modern Dance. I adore teaching dance composition. To help a dance student make their own dances is very fulfilling.
For the Visual Arts I teach Abstract Painting as well as Installation and Performance Art.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have supplies and space. Visual Art students need to contribute to materials by finding or purchasing whatever they like and adding to the mix. My students are welcome to use what I have here and I am always adding materials. Many people throw away materials that are perfectly good for art making so keep your eyes open and you'll find all kinds of good things. Visual Art students need to book a 2 hour minimum and I will lower the price if you just let me know you need it.
My fees: I start at a higher fee and after you've been a regular student we can lower the fee for you if you need.
*** Travel Equipment ***
just a space to work in - we can create a work space out of any space.
*** Specialties ***
In dance I teach classical ballet principles for beginners or those who are returning and want to work carefully and privately. I teach from the tradition of Alfredo Corvino's principles of relationship to organic forms and structures for sound development. I studied with Mr Corvino for years and continue to study with Ernesta Corvino.
For acting I teach a combination of classical acting technique with American sense memory and relaxation skills. I am well versed in the teachings of Lee Strasberg and then spent time in London to 'fill in the cracks' of my training with analytical skills as well as the various european influences that the Royal National embrace.
I teach creative discovery in combination with classical devices so the student can discover their own artistry while learning actual classical devices for accomplishing specific goals.

About Rebecca W.Close
As a professional dancer and teacher of ballet, yoga, and the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods, I have a deep knowledge of the physical and expressive potential of the human body.
As a teacher, I work in a way that is focused yet easygoing, approaching each individual student's capability in a healthy way. I have taught students ranging in age from 7 to 75, and love teaching any age.
My ballet classes begin with the foundations of classical ballet, with a focus on the details of technique that allow a student to quickly progress in strength, flexibility, and continue to progress to higher levels and possibilities of movement. As a dancer and teacher, I have found that this strong technical foundation is what allows dancers to find the most freedom and expression as artists.
My other movement classes (yoga, stretch, conditioning, Gyrokinesis) always work in the healthiest way for the body, respecting the student's needs and capabilities each day. We begin with an easy ...

Doomsday 4x4 Vehicle Buyers GuidePosted in Project Vehicles on December 1, 2012
The Mayans predicted that December 21, 2012 would be the end of the world. Some fret that it will be the zombie apocalypse, while others worry that they will get stiffed on Christmas gifts. We're not ready to drink the Kool-Aid, but just in case we are wrong, we figured we should start prepping now. Surviving Armageddon could be the equivalent of an extreme camping trip and turkey-shoot rolled into one.
The idea of hunkering down in one place may seem like a sound option, but if the stuff hits the fan, being mobile could be the key to your survival. Imagine this: The sky is falling around you and the zombies are starting to invade your town. Are you going to hide in the closet with a broomstick like your Prius-driving neighbor? Or will you jump into your zombie-slaying doomsday 4x4 and get the heck out of Dodge?
While many of you may believe that your current 4x4 is Armageddon ready, the reality is, it's probably not. Sure, your tubed-out Jeep Wrangler may have what it takes to get you through black-diamond trails, but will that soft top and delicate electrical system survive the gnawing jaws of a zombie ambush? Where will you sleep when you've retreated to the safety of the mountaintop? Can you carry enough supplies to last you for weeks on end? Get the picture?
The perfect doomsday rig should be part-tank and part-motorhome. You'll need a place for supplies, ammo, extra fuel, and a spot to catch a few hours rest between fending off zombies. The rig also needs to be something easily serviceable, as your local shop may be reduced to a pile of rubble. To give you an idea of what we're eyeing for doomsday getaway-rigs, we've compiled our top four picks for Armageddon-ready 4x4s. All of the vehicles on our list have durable diesel engines, limited electronic nannies, and gracious aftermarket support. And if you wake up December 22nd and all is right with the world, you'll still end up with pretty wicked camper/tow rig. Not a bad fallback option at all.
Weighing in at 13,000 pounds, the M35A2 (aka the Deuce-and-a-Half) is a heavyweight fighter in every way imaginable. Since the '60s the U.S. military has used the M35A2 platform for everything from arms-haulers to basic troop-carriers. While the latest renditions of the classic M35A2 are a tad pricey for the average consumer, the '60s- and '70s-era trucks are extremely affordable.
One of the best aspects of the M35A2 is the inline-six multi-fuel diesel engine. The multi-fuel option allows you to feed the engine a mixture of diesel fuel, old engine oil, bourbon, and a host of other liquids if need be. Assuming fueling stations may be few and far between on December 22nd, the ability to burn a variety of fuel sources could be paramount to your survival. The downside of the fuel curve is that you'll likely only get 7 mpg.
The standard five-speed Spicer 3053A manual transmission is as tough as they come, but try and opt for the better Timken T136-27 air-shift transfer case if you can. The Timken T136-21 sprag-style transfer case uses a form of a clutch that only engages in one direction and can be problematic. On the upside, even if the front fails to engage you will still have two 2½-ton Rockwell rear axles to push you along.
Look for models with the more powerful "whistler" turbo engine, but don't expect a fast getaway. Top speed is around 55 mph, maybe faster if you can stuff on a larger set of tires. Forty-four-inch tires will fit with no lift, but you'll need to flip the rear-axle-hubs when converting from a dual- to single-wheel setup. Since carrying supplies will be critical for surviving, a radio truck or ambulance model Deuce will make for a great starting platform. The rear enclosure would work well as a living space, and the thick walls and roof could easily be modified to carry extra gear.
Some of the models were even fitted with gas heaters. With some creative engineering you could convert the gas system to power a stove and possibly a flamethrowing device! A dozen char-fried-zombies coming right up! Ultimately, you don't have to do much to the M35A2 to make it doomsday-ready. Focus on converting the rear half into sleeping-quarters and gear-holds, and we have a feeling we will likely see you on the other side.
Pros: Heavy-duty frame and parts, multi-fuel engine runs on almost anything, inexpensive initial cost, limited electronics, great base for a camper, plenty of load-carrying capacity, massive size, and heavy-duty bumpers makes for great visibility and zombie-dozing; aftermarket lockers, axleshafts, and steering components can beef-up the drivetrain even more
Cons: Slow, heavy, loud, older air components and lines are more susceptible to damage, long wheelbase hinders maneuverability, poor fuel economy, no A/C, older 24-volt electrical can sometimes be problematic, older models only available with a manual transmission, which could be a problem if you lose a limb in a post-apocalyptic zombie-battle
12-Valve Ram
When it comes to a simple, strong, and reliable truck, it doesn't get much better than the Dodge Ram 4x4-equipped with the 12-valve Cummins diesel engine. The classic inline-six trucks have a reputation for lasting well-over 500,000 miles. The 12-valve spans from '89-'98. The '89-'93 trucks were fitted with a Bosh VE-style injection pump, which doesn't quite have the power-potential as the Bosch P7100 pump that was used in the '94-'98 trucks. The P-pump engines are easily tunable and fuel economy numbers are some of the best you'll see out of a 1-ton truck. Another bonus of the P-pump is the ability to modify the injection pump fuel plate. Changing the fuel plate will turn up the power and leave your zombie tail in a haze of black soot.
Behind the Cummins diesel both manual and automatic transmissions were available. The early automatics had non-lockup converters which makes them a little easier on parts and cheaper to build. The later 47RH and 47RE automatics are a bit stronger, but weren't engineered to hold much over the stock power-levels. The manual option for the early trucks was a Getrag 360, while the super-beefy NV4500 manual came in the later editions.
The chain-driven transfer case splits power between a Dana 60 front and Dana 80 rear axle. A mild lift, chromoly axleshafts, and lockers will make climbing over the rubble much easier. Luxuries like air conditioning and roll-up windows will make the hell-fire and brimstone much easier to navigate. And given the trucks namesake you should easily be able to push over a dozen or so zombies. The aftermarket support for these trucks is great, so you don't have to cobble together your own Mad Max barbed-wire bumper.
A flatbed version would allow you to build your own digs, but for the less fab-savvy, a drop-in-style camper would provide plenty of living and storage space. Vegetable oil conversions and biofuel kits are an excellent way to keep you on the go. Another plus is that these trucks are nearly 2,000 pounds lighter than their modern-day counterparts.
Pros: Inexpensive purchase price, easy to service, simple and durable parts, powerful engine with great fuel economy capabilities, ample load-carrying capacity, great for a slide-in camper or custom zombie-proof bunker, strong aftermarket support, can run on biofuels.
Cons: Sheetmetal is more susceptible to zombie pounding, weak factory bumpers, by today's standards these trucks are slow, but still fast enough to outrun zombies and heavy enough to push any disabled Honda out of your path.
Quigley's 4x4 Van
If you are already living in a van down by the river, then listen up-this is your time! Owning a van may be a hard pill to swallow, but before you completely rule it out, allow us to give you the rundown on the Quigley Motor Company. For over three decades Quigley has converted Ford and Chevy fullsize vans into 4x4s capable of some very impressive feats. We've seen these breadbox-wheelers scale nearly vertical hot tubs in Moab and power through trails that would scare off your average wheeler.
Though there are many renditions of the Quigley vans, the Ford E-series fitted with the 7.3L diesel are high on our Armageddon pick list. The 7.3L diesels weren't without faults, but the massive V-8 has proven itself to be one of the most reliable diesels ever paired with the Blue Oval namesake. The vans can haul up to 10,000 pounds, are fitted with huge fuel tanks, and have even been used by the U.S. government Special Forces for years. With plenty of cargo room for supplies, gear, and sleeping quarters, the work-van conversions have the perfect foundation of a doomsday wheeler.
An optional pop-up-style roof will give you roomier digs, but could prove to be an easier point of entry for more spirited zombies. The aftermarket support is bigger than you may think and many of the F-series truck parts cross over to the van line. Dana 60 and Dana 70 axles are common under the vans and fitting larger tires and lockers is a pretty easy upgrade. For you die-hard Bowtie fans, Quigley does offer 4x4 Chevy vans outfitted with the 6.6L Duramax diesel.
Pros: Nimble and powerful platform, great enclosed cabin, can easily be converted to run on alternative fuels, good aftermarket support, lots of crossover truck parts
Cons: Higher initial cost, can get top-heavy the higher you lift it (true for all makes), sheetmetal may need reinforcing to withstand zombie pounding, your neighbors may hide their children when they see you, shorter front will make for a more up-close zombie-smashing experience
Mercedes-Benz Unimog
Following World War II Germany looked to create a vehicle to better serve the needs of its farmers. The idea was to build a vehicle that could work in the fields during the week and haul goods to market on the weekend. What resulted from this multipurpose tractor idea was the Mercedes-Benz Unimog. Unimog is short for Universalmotorgerat, which means universally applicable motorized implement.
In the U.S. the Unimog was never available new from Mercedes-Benz. This leaves only used imported models as options to purchase. While the challenge of finding a well kept Unimog may seem like more trouble than it's worth, we say it's worth a look. The most common type of imported and pre-owned Unimog is the 404 model. While the 404s have strong points, the scarcity of diesel versions makes them less desirable than the later 406 and 416 models.
Our money would be spent on a diesel-powered 416. The 416 has a longer wheelbase, larger tires, and a plenty of gearing options. The naturally-aspirated diesel engines are not powerhouses, but are very simple and reliable. Since the Unimog is more tractor than passenger car, many are fitted with extremely low gearing which limits the top speed. You may reach 70 mph, but it's not likely. Factory selectable lockers placed inside of the ultra-high-clearance portal axles offer the 'mog more ground clearance than any other rig on our list.
The frames are just as stout as the drivetrain components and like the M35A2 there are dozens of different service models that can easily be converted into campers. Servicing the Unimog may seem like a nightmare, but overall the trucks are very simple to work on. After all, they are farm trucks designed to be serviced in a field. Admittedly, the most challenging part could be finding spare parts.
Pros: Great visibility, lots of gear-range options, heavy-duty platform great for building your own camping digs or securing a drop-in camper, portal axles are extremely robust and offer tremendous ground clearance, factory lockers, due to high ground clearance you can more easily run-over a higher number of zombies
Cons: Top-heavy, higher initial price, harder to find, potentially more expensive and difficult to service, U.S. parts availability may be limited, slow, air-assisted brakes and lockers could be problematic

Tomorrow (Tuesday, October 6) is a day of local elections in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. I've done a little work on one campaign, enough to make me sad for the state of electoral politics.
I spent one evening and one morning recently (in separate weeks) working for a particular local candidate. (I'll say that he's male, because it makes the pronouns easier.) On the first occasion, I was "phone banking": doing voter identifications from a list of registered voters. We were to find out whether each voter supported The Candidate or not, and, if not, whether the person would like more information about The Candidate, or whether they supported another person.
Having done voter ID calls on an issue campaign before, the tactic seemed familiar to me: we wanted to figure out whom to call on election day with a reminder to get and vote, and whom to leave alone (with the hope that they'd forget).
On the second occasion of helping The Candidate, I did a "literature drop": leaving leaflets about The Candidate on people's doorknobs. Again, I worked from a list of registered voters.
There shouldn't be anything remarkable about targeting voters. But what troubled me was that our lists were already targeted: at least one major party affiliation was entirely absent, and our job as phone-bankers or lit-droppers was to narrow it down further to those not hostile to The Candidate, and ideally only those likely to support him. These people we would hit with more literature and phone calls, so that as many of "our" people would get out and vote as possible. Thus would The Candidate win: by getting out his supporters in greater numbers.
What's so wrong with that? you ask. How else are candidates supposed to win?
Well, it's not the idea that a candidate should get his or her supporters to the polls in greater numbers that bothers me. It's that, from a pretty early stage, we were targeting voters and focusing only on those most likely to support The Candidate. Where, I asked The Candidate on day two, was the place for people to discuss what the important issues were and whose solutions were best? There was nothing in what we were doing that was meant to convince people of the urgency of our issues or the suitability of The Candidate to address them better than any of the others. "Right," The Candidate chimed in. "Where's the public discourse?"
The problem, he said, was that there wasn't much of that going on anyway, so we were stuck with "get out the vote" tactics. The candidates get to answer a questionnaire that's published in the News-Miner, and there are a handful of radio appearances and candidate forums where they may get a two-minute opening statement and then forty-five seconds to answer any questions. There really is no chance for substantive debate or discussion.
So, here's a question for everybody: in an age when political strategizing has been reduced to "getting out the vote" (of those who already support your candidate), how do we foster public discourse around elections? Given a number of candidates about whom we may know little to nothing, how do we learn meaningfully about their views and intentions? How do we discuss the issues in a way that leaves us open to learning and persuasion? And whose responsibility should it be to see that this civic discourse takes place?
Up for election are: Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor; FNSB Assembly seats A, F, and G; Fairbanks City Council seats A and B; North Pole Mayor; North Pole City Council (two vacancies); FNSB School Board seats A, B, and G; three Borough-wide bond and ballot measures; and two city-wide ballot measures. Read the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner's 2009 Municipal Election overview for stories on the candidates and their answers to the News-Miner's questionnaires, and on the ballot measures.

Lily Allen, Don't Apologize To Me, Apologize To Everyone Else
from the sorry,-but-that's-not-the-point dept
I THINK ITS QUITE OVIOUS THAT I WASNT TRYING TO PASS OF THOSE WORDS AS MY OWN , HERE IS A LINK TO THE WEBSIITE I ACQUIRED THE PIECE FROM . Apologies to Michael MasnickWhile I appreciate the "apology," that's really missing the point. First, the reason TorrentFreak and I both brought it up wasn't because I was upset about her using the post. As I clearly said in my response, I thought it was great that she wanted to use our post, and I encouraged her to do so. The point, though, was that it was a bit hypocritical of her to be going on and on about how evil it is to copy another's work without their permission, when she went and did the same thing. Furthermore, the point is that when it's natural and easy for people to copy like that, it's time to learn to accept it and use it to your advantage. So, no apology is necessary to me. My post wasn't about you trying to pass off my words as your own, but recognizing that even you, Lily Allen copy other people's work all the time, even without realizing it.
And, yet, in the very same breath, you want to kick people off the internet for doing the same thing?
If anyone deserves an apology, it's all the people you've been blasting with this complaint that it's "piracy" that's somehow harming artists, when the actual evidence shows no such thing. Plenty of artists have learned to embrace file sharing and used it to their advantage, suggesting it's not piracy that's the problem -- it's artists unwillingness to adapt and put in place smarter business models. Running to the gov't and asking them to kick your fans off the internet isn't a new business model. So, don't apologize to me. We're happy for you to use Techdirt posts however you want. We just thought it was worth calling your attention to the fact that even you seem to have no problem copying stuff when convenient, so maybe you should think twice about blasting everyone else for doing the same thing.

Welcome to Water Law and Standards! We are a joint project of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Since 1999, the WHO Water, Sanitation and Health Programme and the FAO Legal Office have been collaborating on a number of initiatives linked to water law, health and development. A text entitled Law for Water Management: A Guide to Concepts, Developments and Effective Approaches is under preparation. The databases on this website are the other major output of this inter-agency collaboration. The database of national water legislation is ready for use and is linked to FAO's existing FAOLEX database of legislation on natural resources, whereas the database of national water quality standards is under construction. These databases are a work in progress and any comments and suggestions are welcomed and should be addressed to our
| Law
Search in one country or compare countries
The legislative section of the database contains an analysis of the legal frameworks governing water resources in selected countries of the world. We have plans to progressively increase the number of countries covered, and to regularly update the analyses stored in the database. The information is broken down into answers to a detailed list of questions about national legal frameworks. FAO developed the list of questions to capture the main features of a country's legal framework on water that a researcher might want to know.
The questions include, for example, whether there is a basic water law in the country; what kinds of water it covers; who owns water; who is authorized to use water and how; whether and how pollution is controlled; and the nature of the government's administrative structure for water resources management.
The legislative part of the database can be used to examine one country's national legal framework for water, or to compare one or more countries with regard to all or part of their national legislation on water. The database can also be searched by region. Where possible, the database provides access to the text of the legislation being discussed, through a link to FAO's own database of national legislation on natural resources, FAOLEX.
| Standards
The water standards part of the database contains detailed information on the water quality standards of all countries in the world for which information has been provided to date. WHO developed a questionnaire regarding the existence and contents of drinking water standards at national level, which will be soon complemented by another questionnaire on recreational water. The questionnaires will be filled in by authorized national counterparts.
Like the legislative part of the database, the standards part of the database can be searched by individual country or by comparing one or more countries, and it can also be searched with regard to a particular substance being regulated.

Does the Enterprise Take Security Seriously?
The enterprise has been worried about security for about as long as anyone can remember. Like it or not, there are malicious hackers and cyber-criminals around the world who would like nothing better than to take sensitive corporate data and exploit it. CIOs and their staff have been charged with safeguarding their corporate networks from any and all threats. Sometimes, they succeed; other times, they don't. Unfortunately, it appears that those "other times" are happening more than many companies would like to admit. In fact, a new study from Faronics, a company that specializes in security for multi-user environments, has found that a host of major trends in the corporate world, including BYOD and unstructured data, are prompting security threats. And companies, meanwhile, have found that they're ill-equipped to deal with those threats. Simply put, it's a scary world, and the enterprise, at least so far, isn't doing a good enough job at securing corporate networks. The following slides provide essential information about security in the enterprise.
What do companies think will be the biggest threat in the next year? 69% of U.S respondents to the Faronics study believe it's the "proliferation of unstructured data."

The plot: Harassed and belittled by their "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" of a boss, played by professional mustache-twirler Dabney Coleman, the women stumble into keeping him prisoner inside his house, employing a complex system of pulleys and S&M gear in their mission. Free from his tyranny, they use the opportunity to make much-needed changes in the structure of their office—including onsite day care for the employees' children, a job-sharing program allowing workers to modify their schedules and equal pay for equal work (though the men laugh about that last one).
For everything I didn't get about the movie at the time (sex gear, marijuana smoking, Dolly Parton's nails), the spirit of the film resonated with me. Here were three women who were tired of being overlooked and mistreated simply because they had the audacity to be female, and even worse, women who worked.
I knew from very early on in my life that I would work even if I had children. I remember thinking: It's good that things are changing, so when I'm grown up, how women are treated in the workplace won't even be an issue.
This is the part where we all give each other sideways glances.
It's incredible—and embarrassing—that a 32-year-old movie portrays a work environment that's far more hospitable to women than many today. Yes, we have come a long way, baby. Yes, women hold positions of great power. Yes, women are the majority of college graduates. Yes, we can wear either pants or skirts, creating just so many wardrobe options. These are all great accomplishments. Go us.
But by now, you probably know the other side. Women on the whole are still paid less than men (and part of that gap has no discernible reason outside of bias). Traditionally female-dominated jobs, such as teaching and nursing, are grossly undervalued and undercompensated. The United States is one of only four nations in the world without any mandated paid maternity leave, leaving it in good company with Papua New Guinea, Swaziland and Liberia, despite the fact that women are only slightly less than 50 percent of the U.S. workforce.
It's incredible—and embarrassing—that a 32-year-old movie portrays a work environment that's far more hospitable to women than many today.
This is old news, though, so why continue to talk about it? Simply, because any changes have been incremental and usually followed by a few paces backwards. And unlike in 9 to 5, where the mistreatment of female employees stems from the villainy of one slimy asspuck, gender bias is rarely due to the conscious efforts of one man. What makes any bias difficult to counter is that it is cultural, deep-seated and often unconscious.
Does 1950s Man need a month off to help care for his newborn son? Hell, no. He's got a wife who stays home full-time to do that kind of thing, and when she's exhausted to the point of incapacitation, there are pills to lift her up. Does 1950s Man need time off to take care of a sick child? Damnit, man, did you not read the previous sentence?
So, I guess 1950s Man definitely doesn't need maternity leave to heal and establish nursing, right? Listen, son: 1950s Man doesn't want to think about that kind of thing. He didn't kill Nazis so you could talk about lady bits, consarnit. 1950s Man will work as late as you need and be happy with 10 days off a year because vacation is for those sissy surrendering French. He won't eat up your pension fund because he'll die at 58 of a massive coronary, never learning his oldest son is gay.
Some say it was this kind of work environment that made America great, and by "some," I mean anyone who isn't female, nonwhite or poor. The rest of us can see that this approach to the modern worker is grossly outdated and penalizes women in the workforce for, well, being women while in the workforce. Our inability to be, as Henry Higgins says, "more like a man" has real costs to our salaries and our professional prospects.
And you know who else isn't 1950s Man? Men. Men today.
Gender bias doesn't just hurt women—it limits men as well. It consigns them to certain roles at work and at home. Few American men take any parental leave, and only 1 out of 100 take more than four weeks out of fear for their careers. As a society, we're still conditioned to view men's active participation in parenting as a great bonus—but not essential.
So many of the practices we adhere to today have roots in postwar, corporate-boom America.
This harms men, forcing them to increasingly make the same decision women have for years—career or family? You can do both, but it's hard to do both well. Seeing 1950s Man as the default employee constrains the majority of workers today, who look nothing like that pomaded work machine.
But before we continue addressing these complex issues, there's one thing we should all agree on: Let's stop using phrases like "entitlements," "perks" and, worst of all, "special treatment" when discussing ideas to improve work-life balance. That's like saying a salary is special treatment: Shouldn't you people just be happy for the rags and gruel?
None of us, men or women, cease to be whole people with a host of responsibilities just because we're clocked in. Recognizing this leads to greater employee satisfaction, productivity and profit. Yes, 9 to 5 is just a movie, but it serves as an unsettling reminder of the inequality that we've accepted as the status quo.
Could you look into the eyes of American treasure Dolly Parton and say you gave up the fight?

Destiny can finally stop being ragged on. This is by far the worst Gundam I have seen IMHO. It's funny how both series started out promising, but after episode 34 it started to go down hill quick. AGE went downhill faster than Destiny did. And Kio has stolen Kira's unofficial title. All hail Jesus Asuno...... At least Kira would kill when it was necessary..... Kio would sacrifice himself for the sins of people.....
The only thing I liked about this episode was the Yurin flashback.... And where did they get the AGE-FX's new weapon? The AGE Builder was destroyed and they didn't exactly push a container over to the Baranoke when they transferred over from the Diva..... And it was destroyed in mere seconds. Whatever happened to the commander of La Gramis? Did he go down when it exploded?
Bah, Gen 1 and 2 looked so promising...... Onto the next Gundam series..... Maybe go back to the 00 universe and create a series around the Innovator vs human war that took place between the end of the ELS battle and the epilogue.

Nice final episode even if it did seem a bit lackluster.
8/10 for the series no where near as shitty as 0079 and SEED Destiny.
Really hope The Origin is an OVA I don't think I can stand 43 weeks/Episodes of Amuro and that quality pacing. Well at least the art will be better this time around. So please give us new universe and characters for a TV series Sunrise or remake Destiny to make it better instead.

I am really disappointed with the ending. Honestly this is the first gundam age episode that im really disappointed. I enjoyed the entire series but the ending is really meh. Everything feels rushed. I'll just post what i think about the 3 asunos in this final episode.
Flit: I think he is still the main protagonist of the story and he really gets a closure. It is nostalgic when all the characters who died in gen 1 (except woolf who died in gen 2 but has been shown in his gen 1 loooks) was shown. Even though its so sudden that Flit changed his mind, it's still ok for me. Showing gen 1 Flit and then showing his current appearance now really shows how battle hardened Flit is but still change his views in the final moment. Gundam Age is really Flit's show. Flit really became a Saviour! And he also got infected by a Gold-ELS and became a metal being like Setsuna! :P Just kidding.
Asemu: Nothing really to say because he didn't actually did anything in this episode. He's closure happened last episode. We saw last episode how he became the "Protector" Flit told him when he was still young. However, we see how greatly matured Asemu is. From an annoying military brat to a very cool guy. His confidence on his own abilities is really on a different level now. Even when Flit told him that Zera Grins is a very high level x-rounder, Asemu just smiled and didn't even show any concern that he would be facing a high level x-rounder. I'm really biased on Asemu because he's my favorite character in this series but if he was given a stronger suit i think he can handle the final suit just fine. And he got his original hair cut back!In the portrait atleast! If only asemu could get his own series.
Kio: Hmmm, at the final episode, i feel that kio didn't accomplish anything. He defeated Zera Gins so fast. Many people complained how Asemu defeated Zeheart but atleast Asemu showed some skills there. But the vagan gear got defeated just like that. Nothing Epic. Really, compared to Flit and Asemu, everytime Kio defeated someone, it's not really that epic. Age-FX was wasted on kio. The suit is cool but the pilot is meh. I can't help but get annoyed when Flit became proud with Kio after defeating Zera Gins, and how Ezelcant thanked Kio for everything. Kio is the weakest link of the Asuno Boys. Kio just sucks. And Kio, consistent with his character design, looks the lamest in his adult form. Even though we didn't really see his full adult face. His Haircut seems lame. And no cool facial hair like his Grandpa and Father.
Anyway, I enjoyed the series. It has it's up and downs but ultimately I like it. There are epic and lame moments but it gave me my weekly dose of gundam for 1 year. Looking forward to next gundam series. I hope they'll focus on a pilot with no super human abilities and more realistic war setting.

Once the characters stopped developing as their own entity and started to become the representatives of concepts from past series the show just kind of lost any real gravitas it had ultimately. You just can't do this sort of finale when your main cast is this unlikeable and hard to sympathize with. It's a real shame that Level 5 and Hino didn't get something this basic, but hey they are game designers first and foremost and not anime screenwriters and well...ultimately I have to agree they betrayed that shortcoming in the end. Gundam as a franchise deserves better writing then this.
In the end I'll have to call AGE mediocre and it'll end up falling somewhere inbetween Seed and Destiny on the AU scale. Why do I still say Destiny was more of a disappointment? Well because first of all I actually remember Destiny (not just following the Gundam cycle here but taking things as a whole 15 year experience) and what a terrible stock footage, clip show and fan service filled mess of a production it was and where the writers let the fans ultimately dictate what happened with the story and characters . The love interest was also Stellar Lousier a crazy almost lobotomized personality, whereas at least AGE had the likes of Yurin and Romary who while not anything approaching great characters I could at least look at as human. I can still go on about why Destiny will probably always remain the weakest overall production in Gundams AU franchise, but lets get back to business. AGE HAD a sympathetic cast at one point just before the third act with the likes of Seric, Woolf, Grodek, Flit and dare I say even Asemu and Zeheart (pre Gen 3 Zeheart of course), but essentially tossed it all away for what I can only assume was to allow Hino to follow along with some easy already tried and true Gundam storylines that have worked in the past. However what he neglected was that these things worked with those shows and weren't going to work well with this one because what came before in the prior generations didn't really allow for it. It's pretty blatant to me that he just gave up trying to make AGE it's own thing, but really if seemingly everyone just summarily rejected you at the get go and you're dealing with a show that has such poor ratings and are getting so much hate for it (this was while things were going well in AGE land btw) are you going to put your best foot forward even when you lack experience?
I'm not trying to whitewash Level 5 and Hino's shortcomings here, but I can at least sort of understand how things ultimately got to this point on the production side of events. In the end I'll probably look at AGE as a show that was never really given a fair chance by enough people to make it a success (look how many people are commenting compared to 00 to get an idea of how big the audience is) and the staff behind it more or less acknowledging it in both a reduced effort to match up what came before with what came after at the halfway point and also in an attempt to try and go more and more with what was popular before (how did people like that mini arc of Soldiers of Sorrow events at the start of Gen 3?) in an attempt to salvage something out of the concept. Damned if you do damned if you don't really, cause I could easily still see a lot of familiar faces complaining regardless of what kind of ending we got.
Overall I'm not sure what's to be done with the Gundam franchise now. I already felt there was an overwhelming amount of negativity and scorn for any new entry in the franchise, and AGE has probably only made it worse by actually deserving some of it. How do you get a fanbase this rooted in the past, this critical of anything new...or familiar even to enjoy/appreciate/not gripe endlessly about something you create? The only two solutions I can come up with are to put the franchise on hiatus and then come back and be a little smarter about how they try to build a new audience. Like really do their research and find out just what kind of Gundam series might appeal to a newer generation of fans as opposed to having a company like Level 5 come in and tell them what people will like and assuming they are right because things worked for them in the gaming industry. The other solution would just be to end the AU experiment and go back to U.C for the next TV series since Unicorn seems to indicate that people are clamoring for and WILL buy product from the U.C timeline IF it's done justice. Be smart about it next time, and at the very least I think there has to be that long wait between entries, at least 5 years of hiatus. Let the negativity trickle out of the fanbase slowly over time instead of reigniting it so quickly with a new entry every 2-3 years.
I'll have more actual final impressions and comparisons in the eventual Overall Series Impressions thread where I'll have to conjure up that list I made and see what was achieved and what fell short with AGE in a little greater detail. For now I had just wanted to do a general talk about what I ultimately think went wrong, what needs to change with Gundam going forward and what I think were some of AGE's strengths (and it does have some on the whole) so I'll leave it at that.

Giving Gundam a female lead or "better female characters" isn't going to change anything if the fundamental process of how they develop them is disjointed like it was in AGE and so many other mecha TV series of late (yes AGE is far from the only one even this season). Gender is not the issue, consistency and gravitas surrounding characters actions is. I don't understand why people make a big focus out the female cast in this shows handling when it's so far from the core issues at hand. Surely somebody here must understand this.

Yeah, for a final episode, it was pretty subpar. Very rushed. But at least the Vagan Gear was cool....until Sid came along.
WTF was that all about? Sid repairs itself, flys to the battle, and humps the Vagan Gear for....what purpose? Because Zera is supposedly controlling it? I didn't get that feeling. As far as the episode goes, there was no explanation for that, it just happened. I hope the novel and a forthcoming special edition can shed some more detail about that. Of all the things in the episodes, that's the one that got me all "lolwat?" the most. What a waste of a good final boss mecha and its pilot. It's Descartes Shaman all over again. I know he wasn't a final boss, but he was still wasted way too soon.

Hmmm...anyway, the disparity between Sunrises effort with the animation production and Level 5's effort with the storyline for this final arc has been kind of depressing. I really wish Sunrise had taken full control of this production and just bought the idea from Level 5 and hired a seasoned writer to do the script as I can just see things working out so much better that way.

I suppose the biggest sign that AGE had failed is when even Kaioshin ends up calling it mediocre
(Glad to see you back here BTW Kaioshin)
I mean, it's not like I couldn't understand what made them the people they were by the end of the show, well okay not Asem since I still have no clue why the hell he ever left his family for 13 years to be a pirate (seriously, someone explain this one to me, and while your at it, explain to me what the hell was he doing in this final arc again? Whose side was he on?) but with someone like Flit at this point we had gotten to know him for long enough to know what made him tick, what was his specialty, why he was doing what he was doing, we had been with him long enough for him to be our crutch throughout the time span of this show. Problem was that at that point he had gotten so unpleasant to watch and every time he yelled ''Exterminate'' I just couldn't side with him at all. He had ended up becoming the very thing he was fighting against, and even when we had small moments where we see the older, more noble man through the surface of this genocidal old nuter, it didn't mean much since they were so few and far in between, and we get moments like him whispering in his Grandsons ear to kill every last one of them damn Vagans instead most of the time.
Kio certainly falls more into the category of being a concept than a character that had organically grown in-series to take up that position. I don't have much nice things to say about him or the situation he ended up in, other than it reflects pretty badly on all his family if they just allowed him to do whatever he wanted after being kidnapped by the Vagans.
(The AGE reenactment of Soldiers of Sorrow was honestly the better parts of the 3rd arc sadly)
Option one is going to be likely (since it's been the strategy to cycle through each Gundam every few years so they would leave room to arrange for the next show) but ... ugh, it's never going to work. AGE was announced 5 years following 00 and look at how it turned out (yes there was movie in between but you get my point). Granted Level 5's involvement didn't help things but at this point, I think Sunrise/Bandai need to realize that the only way they could hope to make the next series successful is to appease the older fans as well, which at this point means they need to make the next act them trying to juggle flaming chainsaws while blindfolded in terms of difficulty in that aspect alone, let alone trying to go and get a new fanbase all together.
One helpful element they could take from AGE is that at least once they get down to do an autopsy of the series, they can at least make sure not to fall into the same trappings they had with this one. Sadly, it is a Catch-22 situation with any new Gundam series at this point not already a proven quantity ...
As for the humping ... well, space is a very large cold place, and that AI had been pretty lonely, it's only company is a database for nearly 2 centuries. So it seen that delicious piece of hard metal ass and one thing lead to another ...

Even though I made a note that in the end Kio would be the one to bring Flit to an understanding it felt very empty.
I mean the show ended okay but there was so much potential that could've been done with the series.
And what was the whole point of SID or even Vera to begin with? They didn't even put up much of a fight to begin with.

Now I'm going to marathon the last quarter, because I know it will be terrible and I just want to see how much more terrible than Gen2's end the rest of the show turned out to be.

What an ending...
I think the word best associated with this ending is: Rushed
I thought episode 48 rushed Zeheart's descend into madness (even if I like that they gave him closure), but this episode spits in the face of that rush and just says: "Yes, we can rush the finale even more"
There were so many points in the episode where I saw how just splitting it in two would have done so much to enhance the experience. Too many things happened at once. You had essentially 2 battles and a whole internal conflict/understanding thing happening in between. It comes out even more ridiculous than 00 Trans-Am Burst, because 00 at least built up the power of true innovator and GN Particles, and comes up with the pseudo-science of quantum brainwaves. Here, Flit just talks. No X-Rounder abilities. Just TALKS. And guess what? He manages to convince the entire Vagan and EF to work together. That is far more people than just a handful of named characters in 00's finale.
The Vagan Gear left much to be desired. It was definitely a very cool MS, and it SEEMED powerful... for the first five seconds. Then the Asunos just basically teamed up and made it into a joke. A prolonged fight with the Vagan Gear would have been very helpful in establishing it as a powerful MS. Here, we could only assume. And if someone brings up Legilis for getting a five-second defeat, at least it showed off its potential battling Sid and FX, and we can excuse its piss-poor performance in its final battle to Zeheart's mental state.
Zera is SUPPOSED to be inhumane. He was supposed to be the ultimate warrior/weapon with no emotions. And what happens to him? Takes out a few grunts, damages Age 1 a bit, and destroys FX's C-Funnels. Pretty meh, all things considering. An extended fight and more damage to the three Gundams would have made him so much more of a menace. Hell, damage the Age 1 Gransa. Give us a better reason for Flit to discard his armor other than just to look cool holding the plasma diver missile.
Also, as many said, Sid came out of the left field. What made it worse was that Asemu doesn't even try that hard to make sense of it. He doesn't go "OH CRAP, I THOUGHT WE KILLED YOU". I would have even accepted Asemu and/or Flit giving a pseudo justified reason for why Sid went "OMG, HUG!" No, Asemu just goes "Oh, he must be trying to take over Sid". Wait... WHAT? And of course, the final battle against Vegan Gear is just as rushed, with FX decimating it in an almost-one-way battle.
That said, the episode wasn't a complete waste. Flit being convinced by Kio and his dead friends was the high point for me, because it brings both of their story arcs to a closure and cements Flit's place as the main character. Also, it was pretty touching seeing everyone Flit has lost. Like with most things though, I wished it was built up earlier. The only hint we get of Flit's lack of conviction was a few episodes ago, when he turned to the mirror and sees his younger self.
Overall, it wasn't a complete waste. It provided closure to most of the plot points. It was just too rushed to be considered a good finale.
What they should have done instead, if they had two episodes:
First Ep: Launch Vagan Gear, have it kill off more Fed grunts and ships before the Vagan Hipster Commander comment about how the Federation have already lost so much. Zera fight a longer battle with the Asunos, destroying the Age 1 Gransa's armor in the process. Flit, Asemu, and Kio hold it off until Zera decides to retreat. As it is retreating, Sid appears, going "OMG, HUG!" and TAKES OVER Zera and the Vagan Gear, instead of the other way around. Then have SID-controlled Zera go around damaging La Gramis (instead of a wild X-Rounder Zera). Flit takes the chance to attack with plasma diver missile. Have the whole conversion and understanding thing. Everyone begins attacking the La Gramis to save Second Moon. Then, suddenly interrupted by Vegan Gear Sid destroying suits from both sides, setting stage for the final battle.
Second Ep: Three Asunos defends grunts from VGSid while they continue to separate La Gramis. Asemu explains how Sid survived the last battle through self-evolution, and why he is so pissed off that the humans have stupidly gone to war with his technology. VGSid continue to destroy ships and grunts. Vagan Hipster Commander ask for help to take out VGSid. In the mean time, VGSid disables Flit's Gundam. Kio uses X-Rounder abilities to try and understand Sid. Sid uses Zera to communicate, saying that the humans have stupidly started war again and comes to the same conclusion as Ezelcant, that the current human race will always be at war. But instead of evolution, it will instead eliminate all humans to prevent war. Still determined, Kio continue to chase after VGSid into the Second moon alone. With only a few more connectors left, VGSid and FX-burst mode reappears from Second Moon. All MS in the vicinity assist Kio as Sid-Zera shows confusion over their working together. Kio destroys VGSid and saves Zera. Ezelcant dies and we get an extended "after-war" ending, where we not only see the cure to Mars Rays, Flit's statue, but also Kio's family with Wendy (to make her relevant) and a reformed Zera, who is now fully human.
Meh, that started to sound more Fan-Fict-y. towards the end there. But yeah, really wished it was two episodes. That said, I really wouldn't mind an HG Vegan Gear Sid, if Bandai ever get around making it.

This gorgeous modern mountain home is set amongst the woods in Martis Camp, North Lake Tahoe, completed by design firm sagemodern. The home was designed with significant consideration of the natural setting to blend in with the gradual slope, forest and adjacent putting park. The 3,250 square foot home is used as a family retreat, with a large kitchen and great room for friends and family to gather after a day of skiing or hiking through the forest. The great room features a local quarried stone fireplace, radiant heated Brazilian slate floors, walnut cabinetry and a gourmet professional kitchen. The custom windows and doors framed by exposed timber and steel bring in the natural light to blend the indoor and outdoor living areas. The outdoor area features a spacious deck, a spa area protected by a large boulder outcropping, a fire pit for roasting marshmallows and an outdoor BBQ area. The home was designed for family and guests and has five bedrooms including two master suites, a junior master, a guest room and a bunk room.
All sagemodern homes are created using prefabricated modules in a quality controlled factory environment and then delivered virtually complete to your home site. Their architectural style is rooted in the modern vernacular.
There is no air conditioning in the home, instead there is a heat-recovery ventilation system (above) designed to draw in nighttime air to help keep the home cool.

Police arrested 30-year-old Amy McIntosh on November 24 and charged her with child endangerment and obstruction of government. The Little Rock, Arkansas resident had allegedly left her 11-month-old baby home alone while she ran to the liquor store, and to pay a visit to her mother. Neighbors called the cops after they heard the baby crying and busted down the door to find the little one all alone on the floor with a bloody nose and a soiled diaper.
But, knowing you, you're probably wondering what the hell is going on in Amy's mug shot.
It's a valid inquiry, and unfortunately, I have no answer. She was charged with "obstruction of government" because she reportedly lied to officials about her identity -- did Amy say she was the Michelin Man and tried to use the rubber glove balloon as proof? Did she claim she was the Hamburger Helper? Maybe she just went old school and said her name was Mrs. Blown Up Surgical Sanitary Glove Lady.
More from The Stir: Dad Arrested for Driving Drunk With 4 Kids Strapped to the Hood of His Car (VIDEO)
In any event, it remains a mystery as to why her mug shot is the way it is, but believe it or not, Amy's not the only dim bulb to leave their child unattended to do some pretty messed up things. (She is, however, the only parent who co-stars in their mug shot with a rubber hand covering.)
A pot-smoking mother left her 5-week-old baby on the roof of her car and drove off. Miraculously, the baby was fine, even though it fell off the car into an intersection.
Despite common sense and the warnings every single year about the dangers of leaving your child in a hot car, some parents never fail to disappoint. One mom left her toddler in the car in 110-degree heat ... so she could shop.
And a father in Indiana forgot he left his baby girl in the car, only to discover her dead a few hours later. One dad left his daughter in a shopping cart in a parking lot and drove away, none the wiser.
Then just this spring, two different sets of parents left their kids at Chuck E. Cheese and didn't realize it until the day after. Oof.
None of these parents will be up for Mom or Dad of the Year, but if we could give out a prize for best consequential mug shot, Amy, my dear, would win, hands down.
Have you ever left your baby home alone, even for a few minutes?
