Kirit's life becomes even more enmeshed in the online world.
What They Say:
A year has passed since SAO was cleared. Summoned by Seijirou Kikuoka of the Virtual Division at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Kazuto (Kirito) learns of a series of bizarre murders linked to the popular VR game, Gun Gale Online (GGO). After being shot in-game by a player calling himself Death Gun, two prominent GGO players have mysteriously turned up dead in the real world. As Kazuto logs into GGO and starts investigating the mystery, he meets a female sniper named Sinon who wields a Hecate II rifle. Is she friend or foe? Kirito enters the virtual world once more for an all new adventure!
The Review:
The audio presentation here is one that has both language tracks and it's definitely a big step up over how the first season was presented. The original Japanese language track is done in the uncompressed PCM format so we get the stereo mix in a very strong and clear manner here that sounds great and definitely conveys some solid warmth and overall forward soundstage directionality and depth. The English mix is now thankfully done in the same way rather than using the lossy DVD level Dolby Digital codec. Getting the English mix uncompressed helps to bring that out in a better way with more clarity and overall warmth to it. The mix does the same work as the Japanese mix and the dub is solid itself and both tracks come across clean and clear and we didn't have any problems with dropouts or distortions during regular playback.
Originally airing in 2014, the transfer for this series is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.78:1 in 1080p using the AVC codec. The twenty-four episode series is spread out over seven discs as it moves between three to four episodes each as it binds together for arcs. Animated by A1 Pictures, the show has a gorgeous look that's of a different nature than before as it spends its time in darker worlds and the real world a lot more. Colors are rich throughout with a solid and deep palette that's used whether it's the dark night scenes or interiors as well as the lush exteriors of visiting ALFheim Online. The detail is well handled with crisp lines where appropriate and no problems such as line noise or break up along it. The transfer here captures the source material in a way where there's nothing to really find fault with during regular playback and it just allowed me to be sucked into this fully realized world in an engaging way.
The packaging for this release looks quite good as we get a thick heavy chipboard box that holds the three cases inside. The front cover gives us a couple of our characters with the GOO logo to the right that gives it a very technical look that works well even with the more naturalistic colors with the green/grey. The back cover goes brighter with a focus on a different world and characters with more colorful designs themselves but also more obvious natural signs to it. It's a nice contrast between the two game worlds without being incredibly blunt about it. The set comes with a sheet on the back that breaks down the premises, lists out the on-disc extras, and talks up the packaging itself. The set has a mini pin-up poster with some good artwork focusing on the main cast but mostly Asuna while the opposite side has the packaging covers from the original Japanese run.
The cases within the box are done with the clear types instead of blue and that works to its advantage. Each of them uses some of the really great Japanese artwork that's got a lot of lighter colors to it with white backgrounds so that it wraps around to the back but also looks good on the front since there are no logos to be had htere. It's got a really nice illustration feeling for a lot of it and there's an interesting mix of simplicity and really nice colors that are a draw. The back covers all break down what discs are inside with what episodes while the reverse sides are all just flat gold for a background piece behind the discs.
Spread across the run, we get some solid extras for this series as we saw on the previous releases. The clean versions of the opening and closing sequences are here along with the respective web previews for the episodes. We also get a few commentary tracks from the Japanese side once again as the staff and cast talk about the production in a rather engaging way. We also get the full run of the Sword Art Offline II piece which is basically a lot of mini/SD character fun that's modeled on the radio/web show design that lets the characters be plenty silly amid the serious storylines.
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
The popularity of the first season of Sword Art Online was something that could have just been left to the books and manga but it instead opted to keep trying to raise its game with the anime. That first season lead to a special, this second season, an anime feature film and the current two-season/four-cour project that's underway. There aren't a lot of projects that can really run with that and have the source material to pull it off with some spinoff material as well. I came into the first season just watching it without revieiwng it (though I eventually did) and it was a series that I won't call the series a guilty pleasure. I do recognize its faults, but it's a show that I just have a blast watching and simply enjoy for what it presents and the polished nature of it all. The second season takes all of that happened with its open expansion and attempts to really build on it
This series is one that's broken up a bit in what it adapts several arcs, with the first fourteen episodes covering the fifth and sixth light novels known as the Phantom Bullet arc. What we get here is that it's been a year since the end of events in Aincrad and the original game and the world has grown more populous in terms of the number of games like it out there thanks to the seed that Kirito launched. He's continuing to readjust to the real world, going through the schooling and other parts of his life that others in the game in similar situations had to deal with, but he's also bonded well with friends and family and he's very close to Asuna, who is relegated to a minor role in this part of the show. We do see some simple dating material and just time spent together, as well as with their friends and family in the other game from the Extended Edition special, so there's a good sense of continuity about it all and that time has passed without much in the way of real events going on to worry about.
All of that changes for Kirito with the arrival of Kikuoka back in his life. This ministry official is the one that walked him through events in the Extended Edition and got his life back on track to some degree, but he took a real interest in Kirito because he understood what happened in there. Kirito is pegged as a kind of super player in a way, though it's not really quantified, but there's a natural talent and gift that he has when it comes to these games. That's what let him survive so well in Aincrad and to do what was needed in the other game to rescue Asuna. I don't feel that it's overplayed since he tends to be rather self deprecating about it and it's not the real focus other than to show that he's a step ahead and above everyone else. With events in another game called Gun Gale Online now bubbling to the surface, or at least the ministry's view, Kikuoka has come to try and get Kirito to do a little bit of detective work for him.
What we discover is that within this game that's played in numerous settings but with guns is that a man known as Death Gun has seemingly figured out a way to kill players in it in really creative ways with his gun. It's not something that the general public knows nor those in the game, but the discovery of connected events has the ministry wanting to find out the reality of it – and likely the viability of using it as well as a weapon themselves. Death Gun has supposedly been involved in a few targeted killings and it's noteworthy because this particular game is all about drawing in real pros to it because there's a currency conversion factor to the real world, making it so that people can earn a real living by playing it. Kirito's really not interested in dealing with any of this, but the hooks are there and he's drawn in. And that forces him to convert his character for awhile and leave his friends, Asuna and Sugu in order to do it.
There are a few interesting aspects to this that unfolds along the way. The first is that in this game, his character gets a little more female looking as his hair is longer and his body shape changes slightly. The amusing part is that he gets hit on, looking at and gazed at a lot, which he finds really disconcerting. It only happens at first though so it's not looking to make a statement about it, but it's a welcome acknowledgment at least. The other is that as Kirito gets involved in trying to gain Death Gun's attention, he starts to think back to his own time in Aincrad and what he did there. There's a key moment where he realizes there may be some continuity to events there, but it's the sudden reminder that he killed people for real in that game that comes back to haunt him. It's done well with the emotion and tone of it and it helps to remind why Kirito plays the game as he does. Or rather, hasn't truly played in awhile and has been goofing off with his friends. The only problem with this reminder is that it should have come sooner considering the news of what Death Gun is doing and his own experiences in the virtual world where all these people were trapped.
Because the series has largely exiled the familiar cast from the first season outside of a few really nicely done scenes here, Kirito gets to spend time with a new character. This comes in the form of Sinon, a rising ace of a sniper with some real tactical skill and understanding of the mechanics of the game. She provides the help to him in terms of understanding the game and how it works, though she only does this at first because she thinks Kirito's a girl. Sinon's story, or rather her real world person of Asada, is one that really works beautifully here in a tragic sense. Her motivation for playing the game comes from a real tragedy in the real world and she uses the game to try and conquer those issues with guns, violence and the impact it had on her life. We see her struggle within the game from time to time about it in these early episodes, but it's also laid bare in the real world in both flashbacks and exchanges with her friend and others from her school that know her and torment her over it. There's a lot of good things to explore with this and bringing up the topic of real world gun violence and what it impacts alongside a virtual game that basically glorifies guns helps to provide some weight to it.
After the fantasy worlds that we've had, I really do like that we get a very different world here. As Sinon says at one point, it's a grimy and oil scented world where it's dank and overcast. It's a striking contrast to Aincrad and one that I really like seeing like that. Kirito obviously gets to master parts of the world easily when it comes to combat, localizing his skill set, but the visual design of it and the change-up from straightforward fantasy to any number of varied locations for fights to happen works well. Admittedly, I cringed a bit when the Bullet of Bullets 3 tournament came to the forefront, but it's now a show trying to be a tournament show, but rather use it in brief overall to raise Kirito's stature and, in the end, bring a new level to his relationship with Sinon. The use of these areas helps to push the story forward in a really good way overall.
The opening storyline did a lot to establish this world and what's going on with it while also paring down the focus to Kirito and the new character of Sinon. This is a dangerous gamble to make in a series because while you may keep the other characters around in a very reduced role it's something that can turn away a number of viewers. The Asuna fans certainly aren't pleased by her being cast off for most of this season and given very little to do. And as much as I like Asuna as a character – and particularly her relationship with Kirito, I have to admit that I'm glad she and Yui were given a backseat position for a bit here after being such a focus. The truth of the matter is that while Kirito could achieve some of what he needs to with her in terms of his own healing and issues, she wouldn't be able to really do it in full like Sinon is able to. Though the focus is on the whole Death Gun storyline, the truth of it is that it's wrapping up one of the more critical character pieces from the SAO storyline and doing it through the use of Sinon. While also giving us a character in Sinon that we can really connect with and in turn understand why she needs Kirito and vice versa. Particularly since it's easy to view Sinon as just another member of Kirito's little harem of friends that are girls.
Because of the structure of this arc, the seven main episodes here are largely comprised of action and strategy pieces. It blends in a lot of good character material and commentary along the way, but the bulk of it is all about the Bullet of Bullets competition that gets underway early on here. That focus would normally be a mixed bag, especially since it's largely seven episodes focused on one match that in game-time runs about two to three hours as the characters pick each other off across as a rather interesting range of locales within one overall setting. Where we only really known Kirito and Sinon though, this helps to avoid delving into character stories for the others out there. We know these two, we know that she's going to try and take him out after he sorta fooled her about his gender, and we know that they're going to work together along the way at some point because of the larger threat that he's going to have to clue her in about. It's all easily read early on and it does play by the structure well and as you expect.
But it plays out in a rather exciting way since Death Gun, as he gets into the thick of things after a bit, has a certain malevolent presence that really does click. There are tricks to what he's doing that makes it seem like he's greater than the game in some ways and that adds a level of fear for the other players as they do begin to wonder about the whole getting killed in real life thing. But just watching it as the event turns into a fight between him and our two leads manages to really work very well because the human nature of Kirito and Sinon comes across wonderfully. We really don't know much about Death Gun until everything is over and done with, so the focus is on these two instead. And each of them brings different demons to the table that Death Gun by his very existence is able to tap into, even without realizing what it is he's doing because more than half of his reason is that he's just nuts.
For Kirito, it's delving into his time in SAO with the subjugation event that was done to put an end to Laughing Coffin. That was a difficult aspect of that storyline in general because of the nature of the game and the true death that existed there. Kirito killed only three people there and there were legitimate reasons for it, even knowing the end fate of them – if it was to be believed considering they didn't truly know while in-game. But Kirito compartmentalized all of that because the goal was surviving and getting out of the game as well as eventually protecting his family that he gained in the game. Now, with Death Gun being a member of that Red Group and finding him here, it brings to the forefront the reality of what he did and how it continues to haunt him. It forces him to face his actions and what he's done. While it may skim it to some degree, there are some very human moments for him throughout this even as he again compartmentalizes in order to protect Sinon from the true threat Death Gun represents.
Sinon's story is one that can make or break the series for some viewers. Bringing on a new lead character, even just for an arc (a fourteen episode arc no less) is a dicey proposition if the background and story doesn't click. Her background is one that I do like as it offers up something different for her motivations while also playing to how Kirito is in simply wanting to get stronger, though more so for her to survive her trauma. As it takes shape where she and Kirito share a kind of survivor's remorse element, there are divergences but also the simplicity of Kirito being able to understand her. While I'm not particularly fond of the story device of her freezing up mid-fight and unable to fire because of the trauma, it is at least understandable to a degree. This allows for some real connection to happen between her and Kirito while they hide out for a bit and recover before the final fight. Sinon's story is told well as a whole and that we get some really good closure in the real world is the icing on the cake. Kirito needs more of that real world closure, but with the scale of SAO and those he interacted with there, it's still surprising that he knows as many as he does in real life now.
After all the events from the Phantom Bullet arc, everyone takes the opportunity to reconnect and just have fun going on an adventure in ALO. It's important to remember how big of a deal this still is for Kirito as when we first met him he was that solo player, leveling away, and not really making any friends outside of a minor thing with Klein. But after being forced into it he's grown into this virtual and real world family that has sprung up which includes his sister. So when they discover that a special quest has opened up in the game that they have the ability to get to through a little luck, they all head off to partake in it. This brings us the familiar group from the end of SAO but also brings in Sinon, which is a nice touch in expanding the family overall. Sadly, outside of a couple of minor moments of being helpful and cool, she doesn't get to do much here in terms of blending into the family. She's simply there, though the same can be said about a couple of the supporting members here.
With it focusing on the attempt to gain the Excalibur sword, which has its own significant going back to SAO, what we're treated to is a really fun romp through Jotunheim in order to get it. This means dealing with a number of opponents that are very much a part of this map with Frost Giants and the like, but it just has fun with the Norse mythology in general. I've largely forgotten all the things I learned over the years until something like a show or a movie triggers it back, so it was fun to go through this incarnation of it, especially having been aligned more with the Marvel Comics version through the movies the last few years. These are ideas and characters that have seen adaptation into anime before, but here we go for a straightforward RPG approach that fits the Sword Art Online model perfectly. There are challenges, there are villains, and there are traps.
The appeal of it all, amid just seeing these characters engaged in a quest for fun that doesn't involve copious amounts of laughter or general silliness, is the execution of it. A lot of the draw for the first series was the fantasy elements being so beautifully animated with both backgrounds and action sequences. That's essentially continuing on here, and much needed after the bleak and depressing GGO world with its gunmetal and smell that it gave off in its look. It was wonderfully animated and design, but there's a different kind of appealing richness and design here simply because it's not the norm whereas GGO is. So getting to see Kirito doing his badass work with his blades, the team supporting and taking the lead in cycles, and some of the camaraderie and humor that comes with it simply means it all clicks perfectly within the framework of an enjoyable quest of grand scale yet still personal.
With the final arc of the series we get back to an area that's been underserved. Asuna hasn't fared too well this season for the most part and while I really liked her and Kirito's relationship in the first season, I was glad to see that they didn't really make that a big focus here. There's no jealousies, concerns or other problematic material. When they're together, they have fun and enjoy each other – real and virtual world alike. They're both struggling with things that happened in SAO and ALO and it's best to not discount the kind of impact those events would truly have, especially in the recovery phase when you realize everything you knew was two years out of date and all the people you were friends with, even superficially, are very different people now. So that the two of them and others have bonded in the way they have is fairly standard survivors material, just not made blunt and constant as it's not meant to be the focus. But it is a layer of what's going on and important to consider.
With the arc title of Mother's Rosario, the show puts Asuna in a place where she ends up through a little nudging from Kirito to take on a character named Zekken in battle. Zekken has quite a reputation and Kirito is looking to get a feel for her through Asuna because she represents a different kind of deep dive player, something that he's turning his focus on as he's discovering his path for technology and psychology in a sense. That plays in the background to give Kirito some growth and he makes welcome contributions along the way, but this is fully Asuna's story. When she faces off against Zekken, the two of them have quite the fun and engaging battle – one that Asuna loses but ends up making a friend with. As it turns out, Zekken is actually a young woman named Yuuki Konno who has been looking for a special player to help her.
She and a group of five others are known as the Sleepless Knights and they're looking to clear a level in the New Aincrad levels that have opened up. The group is breaking up in the spring, giving clue that they may be school students who will be going separate ways, and this is their chance to do something big and memorable before it all ends. With Asuna understanding the importance of friends, having had none for so long, she dives deep with them on this journey and really becomes good friends with them in game and works with them to achieve their goal. It's one that helps her along the way as well as the other subplots play out. It serves well, in a general sense, to provide the action component for the arc and I thoroughly enjoyed that part of it because the visual design and choreography of the series continually wins me over.
What makes all of this more profound, and spoiler heavy, is when Asuna learns who Yuuki is in real life. Yuuki's avoidance of her after winning the prize is something that really gets to her as she thought she made a good friend and that leads her to discovering that Yuuki is actually in a hospital. It's a disquieting bit overall as it delves into the fact that Yuuki was born with HIV and struggled until things went horribly wrong in the fourth grade. At that point she ended up in an experimental full sensory virtual gear piece which numbers the pain of her body but allows her to do things in the gaming worlds. There's a lot of tragedy in Yuuki's life that's talked about and it all serves to really make you feel for her in a big way. And I found that it worked, far too well, with the way Asuna connects with her and the various aspects that unfolds. Part of that is my parental side of it as well, but it's just so well played, not overly dramatic or overblown, that it seeps into you as each discovery is made.
The thing as a whole, especially built upon what Asuna and Yuuki get to do with each other in trying to find a way for Yuuki to live out her final days in a good way, well, it just put me into tears when I saw it unfold, both through the events themselves and those final moments in the virtual world. Simply, the way they paid their respects to her after all that had happened was similar to a Viking send off in some ways, but it had the power of the virtual world alignments behind it and it was a fairly powerful sequence. For Yuuki and for Asuna, which just made it doubly so. Death scenes in general often aren't done that well and tend to not resonate, particularly in anime for me since they're really not done all that often anymore, but this one just worked because of how well everything was established.
The final aspect of this arc that worked well for me was the interaction between Asuna and her mother. We knew Asuna didn't have a great home life, but things are now even more strained as she wants the world for her daughter and doesn't believe the schooling she's getting with the other survivors befits someone of her intelligence and status. It's a familiar piece, particularly with her practically forcing Asuna to move to another school, but it works in some very good elements about the strain that exists between them that went to a whole other level after the SAO incident. What struck me the most, again as a parent, is just how disconnected she is from her daughter's life and interests and belittles it all. It is a sadly all too common aspect of many parents, but it's just heart wrenching in that she's not able to take the problems she has and to try and understand her and work with her to find a path that can work so both are happy. They may not be able to be happy, but there's no effort. Just blunt force in do this on her mother's part. While it does end a little too tidy for my tastes, this subplot running through things is given greater importance and meaning when it runs in parallel to what we see with Yuuki and how tragic her family life was and how just the brief time Asuna spent with her ends up having such an impact on her own life and relationships. It's good stuff and while not subtle it's not overplayed either.
In Summary:
Sword Art Online as a franchise has its detractors and its die-hard fans and I totally get that. There are plenty of flaws but there are a lot of things where it does it really right. The second series didn't hold up as strong for me as the first as that was more cohesive and had a simpler goal to deal with. With this set, I do continue to really like the cast, the settings, and what it does with everyone in expanding everything with the new games/worlds that exist because of the actions taken in the first series. The multiple arcs covered in this set give us a good bit of variety to work with overall and it unfolds pretty well, though with the way the characters are moved about it can cause some frustrations. I think the quality of the production itself is just as strong as the first and Aniplex's release of it here in a big complete set is absolutely welcome. It's done up well with a clean encode, a good dub, some solid extras, and a great looking package that utilizes a lot of Japanese artwork. It paves the way for more to come and I'm excited for that as well..

Less than a month before FDR's first inauguration in 1933, he was the target of an assassination attempt.
FDR: President Elect
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was an unlikely candidate for President in 1932. The 50-year-old New York patrician had a pleasant, but not stellar resume of accomplishments, but the last, as a popular NY Governor, carried weight. In addition, and unknown to many of his fellow citizens, FDR (as he liked being called) had suffered from polio a decade earlier, and for all intents and purposes, was crippled.
The Democratic politicians of the day liked him well enough, but generally considered him a lightweight. A nice fellow, but one with nebulous leadership. One thing in his favor: he had a very famous name. Many Americans believed he was "Theodore's" son. He wasn't, but many voted for him for just that reason.
By 1932, however, the Great Depression was well underway. Millions of people were unemployed. Foreclosures on homes and businesses and property were at an all time high. People were literally homeless and starving, and the traditional charities were stretched past their limits. President Herbert Hoover, victorious in 1928 as the "Great Engineer" and the "Great Humanitarian" watched his fine reputation plummet into the pits.
It was easy enough to elect Franklin Roosevelt.
Giuseppe (Joe) Zangara
Giuseppe Zangara was born in Italy in 1900, fought during the Great War, and finally emigrated to the US in 1923, hoping to better his condition. He became a bricklayer, and a naturalized citizen in 1929.
His was a hard life. Only five-feet tall, he suffered since childhood from stomach pains, possibly from grueling physical work and possibly from an abusive father. If it did not create the anger and hatred in his troubled psyche, it certainly did not help.
As the Depression became even more depressed, Zangara lost his livelihood. Like many anarchists and related malcontents, he believed his misery was caused by the rich and powerful people at the top.
He went to Miami in February, 1933 for some odd-job work, bought an $8 gun and a few bullets at a pawn shop, carried a rickety metal folding chair (for added height) and went to Bayford Park, when he heard that president-elect Roosevelt was in town.
FDR: An Unplanned Visit
Franklin Roosevelt had not planned to go to Southern Florida after a brief appearance in Jacksonville on Feb. 15. With the inauguration coming up in less than three weeks, he needed a rest in warm climate to work on his speech and his cabinet plans – and maybe a little fishing and some therapeutic swimming in warm Caribbean water. His friend and neighbor Vincent Astor had a yacht which he put at FDR's disposal when he left Jax. They docked later that evening in Miami.
It was not scheduled, but the new president-elect was a friendly fellow who always enjoyed the meet-and-greets, and was happy to spend a little time with the politicians who came to see him. After a half-hour of hand-shaking, he was lifted into a green convertible and taken to Bayford Park, to smile and wave his hat and maybe say a few innocuous words. FDR frequently used convertibles for impromptu speeches. He could sit on top of the back seat for extra height, with his crippled legs on the seat cushion. It gave him folksy informality, and kept him from the rigors and arrangements of podiums and platforms.
In the years ahead, people became very used to it.
Anton (Tony) Cermak, Mayor
Anton Cermak was the new Mayor of Chicago: the first Democrat elected in decades. It was a horrid time for Chicago, between the Depression, Prohibition, and the seemingly uncontrollable ten years of crime in the Windy City. An immigrant himself, from Austria-Hungary (now the Czech Republic), he had come to America, done well, and parlayed his accomplishments into becoming mayor of a very large city. As such, he became acquainted with NY Governor FDR, but the relationship was somewhat rocky.
When Cermak learned that FDR was to be meeting and greeting in Miami, he made it a point of being close by to mend political fences, which included standing on the running board of Roosevelt's convertible when the president-elect made rounds.
The Assassination Attempt
True to form, FDR was seated atop the convertible, waving his hat and grinning his soon-to-be famous smile. Within moments, shots rang out. Five shots, five wounded bystanders. The shot aimed at FDR missed.
Within seconds, the crowd overcame Zangara, his gun and the rickety folding chair. Policemen nearby muscled closer. And FDR, raised his hand and called out not to harm the assailant – and to let the law and justice prevail. Then he directed his escorts to help a seriously wounded and bleeding Tony Cermak into the car. He reportedly calmed the injured man, and they sped off to the closest hospital.
The wounded bystanders were also rushed to the hospital, and the would-be assassin was arrested and taken into custody.
Within Weeks…
Naturally the event made headlines across the country. It has been suggested that Roosevelt's insistence of letting the law take its course, and the manner in which he calmed the bleeding Mayor Cermak resonated well with the public, and boosted his leadership image.
Zangara was duly tried for attempted murder at the Dade County Courthouse, where he is said to have told the judge, "I kill kings and presidents first and next all capitalists." He was convicted on four counts, and sentenced to 80 years in prison.
Only two days after FDR's inauguration, Anton Cermak died of his wounds. Zangara was retried – this time for murder, and sentenced to death. They wasted no time. Ten days later, he was strapped into the electric chair and executed. Angered that no newsreel cameras were allowed, his final words were "Go ahead, push the button."

There is a revolution underway in Kilkee under the watchful eye of Jim Fitzpatrick's mural of the most famous revolutionary of all. Anyone who was out for a Sunday morning stroll last weekend along the strand under the watchful eye of Che Guevara would have been met with the sight of men and women, young and old, parading with hurleys and helmets as Kilkee/Bealaha Hurling and Camogie club were in full flight. The move to develop adult hurling is still in its infancy, but it is fair to say that those who are overseeing it have long since moved beyond that stage. There have been many instances of hurling on the strand in Kilkee down through the years, and stalwarts like Michael O'Neill and Paddy McDonnell can recall many of them. Paddy has been in love with hurling for as long as he can remember, and early on Sunday morning he made the short walk from his house on the …Read More »
Fitzgerald Set For Cusack Park Return As Wexford Visit Ennis For NHL Tie
Clare take on Wexford this Sunday in Cusack Park in round four of the National Hurling League, with the Leinster side to be led into Ennis by former Clare All-Ireland winning player and manager Davy Fitzgerald. The home side come into the game off the back of a disappointing loss to Cork last weekend while Wexford battled past Tipperary to pick up their second win of the campaign. Sunday's game will mark the first time Davy Fitzgerald has returned to Cusack Park as the opposition since taking up the role in the south-east, but facing Clare is not something new to the Sixmilebridge man, with the Banner ending Wexford's championship season at the quarter-final stage last year. The Slaneysiders have made a strong start to this season's campaign, as they recovered from an opening round loss to Limerick before wins over Cork and Tipperary. Fitzgerald says last weekend's win over the Premier was hard-earned. "We scraped over the line by …Read More »
This Sporting Life
Social media lit up this past week as David Brady decided it was appropriate to impart his opinion as to why Gaoth Dobhair lost out to Corofin in the All-Ireland club football semi-final. The former Mayo midfielder tweeted: "They will when the dust settles & time passes in a quiet moment ask did they pass up the opportunity of a lifetime. Was there anything they could have done extra. Posting multiple piss ups won't win you All Ireland's & that's not what winning is about. " He was of course referencing the celebrations that small club in Donegal had enjoyed when winning the Ulster title for the first time in the club's history with a one point win after extra time against Scotstown. Their celebrations went viral as videos emerged on social media for days afterwards, as they rightly revelled in their success. That victory came on Sunday December 2, with their clash against the defending All-Ireland champions Corofin coming …Read More »
No Rest For The Wicked As Williams Eyes Further Show Jumping Glory
For a regular 14-year-old Junior Cert student, having a week off for mid-term after completing mock exams would mean a chance to have a lie-in for a few days. Rhys Williams does not fall into that category though. Instead of taking it easy this week, he is up at 7am each day to muck out for the horses in Parc Stables. He does not mind though, mainly because he does not know any other routine. 2018 was a year to remember for the youngster as he won the individual gold medal at the FEI European Championships in Fontainebleau in France, while also picking up silver in the team event. He also had the distinction of being the only rider to jump a clear round to register a score of zero. That performance led to him being honoured with a civic reception from Clare County Council, while the accolades continued to pour in when he picked up the Junior Show Jumper …Read More »
Boxing clever in juvenile championships
THE Clare County Juvenile Championships were held in Lisdoonvarna last weekend, in conjunction with the Doolin Boxing Club tournament, before a capacity crowd in the Pavilion Theatre. Fynn Randall took the 48kg title in style, beating Ennis Boxing Club favourite Joseph O'Brien, while Sadhbh Blood took the 63kg title to advance to the Munster Girls Championships in April. Kilfenora's Stephen Murphy upset the odds with a pristine performance against Doolin's Eoin Kelly in the final of the 35kg boys class. There were outstanding displays from James Manning and Colin Fitzpatrick from the Ennis Club, against Kilfenora's Dean Downes and Josh Moloney. Heavyweights Woytech Koper and Bernie McDonagh from St Anne's in Westport brought the crowd to their feet in the final contest of the night, as they battled each other to a standstill, before the Westport protégé took a split decision in an absorbing fight. Ennis boxer Jamie Connors confirmed the pre-fight favourites tag in the 60kg final, with a …Read More »
McIlroy to skip Irish Open
RORY McIlroy has said he will not play at the Irish Open in Lahinch this summer. He has said he will not be playing there, because he will be focusing on the British Open in Portrush. Speaking to BBC Northern Ireland he said, "If there is ever a year when I feel I can miss this Irish Open, it's this year. If I was to play the Irish Open, The Open Championship would be my third event in a row. For me, that's not the best way to prepare for what could be the biggest event of my life."Read More »
Horse Takes Back The Reins With Kilmurry Ibrickane For 2019 Season
Aidan 'Horse' Moloney has been appointed as manager of Kilmurry Ibrickane for the 2019 season. The 1992 Munster championship winner is back with his native club just 12 months after stepping down from the role. He previously led the Bricks to the championship in 2016 and 2017, before making the switch to Cooraclare for a second stint there last year. He also has the distinction of captaining the west Clare outfit to victory on two occasions in 1993 and 2002, while he won four titles with the club along with a Munster club title before hanging up his boots in 2005. His backroom is yet to be finalised, as thoughts turn towards Kilmurry's bid to win a ninth straight Cusack Cup title when the new season gets underway next month.Read More »

Decisions about the application
Because I want to go to the best uni that I can get into.
I know a few people who've been to Cambridge and liked it there.
Its 80% state school people, more down to earth.
Know your French! And sound enthusiastic about the language. I got more enthusiastic about accounting and how I want to be an accountant than I did about "my love for languages". big mistake!
Three essays, one written in French, one written in English about french culture, and one from my English A-level. This was really difficult for me because I'd never done a french essay before, and knew nothing about culture. So I went on the internet and found out about impressionism and wrote about that. I've learnt so much since then, because sonce then I've done my A-level french coursework. Then, I didn't even bother doing a bibliography!
I thought the first one went well, it was in English and I was asked to talk (literature-wise) about a poem. The woman was really positive and kept saying positive things like: excellent and well done etc.
The second one was b a d, it was in english mostly about french literature and basically it was very difficult and when I had to speak French I got all my genders wrong! oops.
Loads about imagery, language used, style. Then later I had a surprise grammar test which was hard cos at college we haven'r done the subjunctive yet, and the bloke interviewing me looked at me in disgust when I told him! I think he thought I was trying to make excuses for myself! In the first interview I got asked: I notice on your UCAS form that everywhere else you've applied for french + economics, but here its french and spanish. why just here? I got stuck, I'd been caught out! Truth was I just hadn't thought about what courses I'd applied for when I was filling in my UCAS form.
Smart pinstripe jacket and skirt, nice white shirt, pretty shoes. Pretty smart.
Strong work ethic, the lecturers were a bit snobby, and people seemed to look down on me cos of my Geordie accent, which isn't even all that strong! That was a bit unfair.
The building was gorgeous, the room small but cosy-ish.
A little bit snobby. They KNOW they are very intelligent, and the second guy in particular, Dr Bill Burgwinkle, seemed to look at me and talk to me as if I was stupid. It made me feel really small. The first woman though, Joanna Page, was lovely. She was really sweet, enthusiastic and just lovely to me. The whole time though I just felt like people really looked down on me when I spoke to them because of my accent. Even other interviewees from the South. They looked at me as if I was really common and poor and basically thick and not as good as them. It was unfair.
They look like they are very into their work, but mostly friendly. The girl who showed me to my room wasn't very friendly though. I don't know if I'd really fit in there. I dont know if I could really cope working that hard for four years of my life.
Final stage
Angry. I thought my GCSE results etc and music grades would count for something, but I just musn't be what they're looking for. Hurt really, damaged my pride! But abit relieved. This will sound knaive/stupid, but my social life is really really important to me, and I don't want to have to spend every day of my life for the next four years working hard. I was worried I wouldn't fit in at Cambridge, the work ethic wouldn't suit me! So now I know I can go somewhere where I can just have the time of my life. I would still have liked to have had the option though.
Looking back
Yes, because it was a really good experience just going down there myself etc. A good bit of independence.
Be enthusiastic about the subject, don't sound like you're making excuses for yourself, and do LOTS OF REVISION!!

Hello, every one of you Sony lovers!
I just bought a CDP-CA7ES, on E-Bay, but there seem to be a problem with the remote, that came with it! The remote number is: RM-DX250. Is this the original remote for the CDP-CA7ES?
Anybody, still have this Cd Player, from new, and can certify, witch remote came in with it?
I don't think the DX250, is the original remote, since aldo it can't put the CDP power on, it dos have some fonctions working, like disk changing, song increment, etc.
Thank you!

Critic Reviews for Hitman
All Critics (104) | Top Critics (31) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (88) | DVD (9)
The title is probably misspelt -- there should be an S in front.
As far as it being a video game, I was in the theater and I was trying to work the remote control to close the curtains and turn the sound down.
The film's target audience - dummies everywhere - will be blown away.
It's based on a computer game, Hitman (see what they did with that title?), though even when it reaches maximum velocity, it's still panting behind The Bourne Ultimatum for style and excitement.
Rubbish, of course, but some teenage boys love this stuff. Don't rule out sequels.
Audience Reviews for Hitman
This is an enjoyable action film with plenty of cool action sequences, shoot-outs and chases. It's based on the series of popular video games and stays quite true to parts of the games. The way the missions are relayed, location, suit, outfit changes and even some of the tactics used in the game are shown in the film. So this should keep the games fans happy. For everyone else this is just a cool stylized action film, which reminded me of the Transporter films quite a bit.

Hey, it's another girl with a dragon tattoo! What are the chances? Don't you think the bald heads with the barcodes shown off to the world are a bit obvious. All you need is one person to figure it out and this whole gang would be wiped out pronto.
Pretty ridiculous -- although I did like the bit about the kids actually playing the video game in the hotel room. Some nice action, some poor story. Walter, if you're in the mood for a little intense killing, I'd check this one out.

Solar Explained
We help you every step of the way.
There has never been a better time to invest in solar panels.
Residential solar system costs have never been lower.
Solar panels now feature technology that will maximise power production.
The cost of electricity from the grid continues to rise.
This means we can structure a plan to save you money today, and perhaps increase relative savings over time. Best of all, a survey carried out by realestate.com.au and Origin Energy revealed that 85% of Australians identified that rooftop panels add value to a property (source: realestate.com.au).
Momentum Energy suggests from research that "the more solar panels on the roof, the higher the value of the home" - with an estimated increase of up to $6,000 per kilowatt of solar power. This indicates a rise of over $29,000 in the retail value of the home for a 5kW installation (source: momentumenergy.com.au).
Every home's size, roof position and energy use will vary, so the best way to find out how solar will benefit you is to call us.
We make going solar easy.
Every step of the way.
Step 1.
We will look at your energy needs, and establish how much you can save by going solar. We will also answer any of your questions. Uniquely, the
TLJ Solar staff you speak with are qualified solar, battery and A-grade electricians, that have the real experience and expertise to advise and answer any of your questions.
Step 2.
We will gather information including the layout of your roof, and electrical usage and any other design considerations specific to you. We input to our solar design team who will create a custom system, designed to shrink your energy bill.
Step 3.
We ensure that all the permits and paperwork your retailer and distributor are taken care of. We also check for all available government rebates and schemes.
Step 4.
On the day of installation, typically you can expect us to have your solar panels up and ready in about 4 - 8 hours. Once we are finished, we will connect you to the grid, and show you how to use the system. Your system will be saving you money immediately from this point.
Step 5.
After installation is complete we will organise an independent electrical inspector to certify the system. Your distributor will then program your electricity meter to accept solar energy production so that you can view your solar savings on your next electricity statement.
Learn the basics of home solar
Solar panels
Otherwise known as solar modules, your home's solar panels absorb light particles called photons to convert into useable electricity in what is called a photovoltaic effect. The array of solar panels gives your home solar electricity through a solar inverter, effectively delivering the electricity your family needs.
Solar Inverter
Your solar inverter is a small box that converts the electricity that your solar panels provide, into useable electricity that home can use. Also connected to the grid, your solar inverters send any surplus solar power that you don't use back to the grid for others to use. All this is tracked by a smart meter.
Net Metering
During the day, your panels may generate more electricity than you can use: you'll know this when you can see your solar feed-in counting up. With net metering programs, homeowners receive credits for this real-time electricity generation from their power companies reducing your monthly cost.
Energy Retailer
An energy retailer provides local areas with the power they use via the grid. Some of these companies compensate solar homeowners if they have provided a surplus of electricity to the grid. You can call one of our experts to find out more about your local energy retailer's net metering plan.
Smart Meter
Your smart meter keeps track of how much surplus electricity your system produces.
For a more detailed overview of how your overall system is performing day to day, you will need to integrate a monitoring device into your solar system. Monitoring will allow you to view the performance of your system and energy usage in the home from any mobile device, anywhere, anytime.
Energy Distributor
The distributor is responsible for transporting electricity generated to your door via the "Grid". The Grid is a vast interconnected network of electrical power lines that provide cities and homes with power. Our solar systems are hooked up to the grid, meaning you can still get power at night when the sun doesn't shine.

The Minnesota Vikings had a nice 2019 season, making the playoffs and even winning a game during Wild Card weekend. It was nice, but it wasn't good enough, and this offseason is going to be crucial if they want to make it farther than last season. So how can they improve? Let's break down three moves the Vikings must make this offseason.
Improve The Offensive Line
Who the Vikings need to sign is tough to say, but there are plenty of options for the Vikings to go after to help improve the offensive line. Garrett Bradbury and Brian O'Neill are both locks to start next season, but outside of that, everything is up in the air.
They went the draft route last year with Bradbury, but they need guys who can be impact players immediately. There are plenty of options available on the free agent market and the team needs to bring at least two new guys in.
If the offensive line doesn't improve, it's going to be the downfall of the offense next season, and it will probably keep them out of the playoffs.
Re-Sign Anthony Harris
Anthony Harris will be one of the hottest commodities on the free agent market if he hits it, but the Vikings need to sign him to an extension before that happens.
Harris was ranked 12th overall by Pro Football Focus on their list of the 101 best players of the 2019 season. That was good enough to be the highest-ranked Viking.
Harrison Smith is still a solid player for the Vikings, but he does have a big contract and the Vikings need cap space. Signing Harris and trading away Smith to get some draft capital or another player or two would make a whole lot of sense. Even if the team doesn't get rid of Smith, they need to bring back Harris for next season.
Draft Kirk Cousins's Replacement
There is talk about the team signing Kirk Cousin to an extension this offseason, but if the team does that, they are making a big mistake.
The Vikings need to use their first or second-round pick on a player who can replace Cousins. The former Michigan State quarterback has one year left on his contract, and the rookie quarterback could sit behind him for one year.
Cousins isn't the player that will take the Vikings to the promised land, so there is no point in continuing to pay him money.
