Valdez added that the Price’s turned to Be the Match after no one in their family was a match. Out of the 11 million donors registered in Be the Match database, there was still no match for Price, an unfortunate statistic for most patients and what prompted the drive on campus.

“One in 540 people have the possibility of being a donor and match to a patient,” Valdez said. “ For patients like Sherri it is a needle in a haystack but it’s a numbers game and the more people we add to the list, the better the chances we will find a match for patients like her.”

The cool weather aided to the process of registering as students, faculty, athletes and even, according to Rhett, Fullerton Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva stopped by to show their support to the Price’s and register as donors.

Swab for cause: Larissa Terrones completes the cotton swab cheek wipe test to register as bone marrow donor.

It was a shot of hope and a sense of community as a bone marrow donor registry drive by Be the Match was nestled on a small section of the quad on Monday.

Be the Match, a bone marrow registry operated by the National Marrow Donor Program and housed out of City of Hope Hospital, specializes in helping patients with life threatening blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, find donors for a bone marrow or cord blood transplant with a chance of being cured.

The registry drive was hosted to aid in finding a match for Sherri Price, the wife of Rhett Price, Fullerton’s head aquatics coach and other patients diagnosed with similar diseases.

Price was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and is no longer responding to chemo or radiation. Her only chance in beating the disease is through a bone marrow transplant according to Joyce Valdez, Be the Match community outreach

driving factor for volunteers and most who registered to be a donor. Amongst the support and volunteers was Jesse Luchansky, assistant men’s water polo coach.

“Rhett told us what he was planning on doing for his wife and we decided to come out to help with the booth and register ourselves,” Luchansky said. “Seems to be a pretty strong involvement from students and faculty getting the message out; we’re praying we could find somebody.”

The process of registering was simple according to Valdez and Raquel Amezquita, community outreach specialist for Be the Match.

Participants had to look at the guidelines to see if they qualify, fill out a consent form to make sure they are eligible to register and then a 10-second cotton swab cheek wipe test.

“Rude, unprofessional and lazy,” that is the kind of opinion that was expressed in a recent Associated Students survey at Fullerton College.

“The Campus Safety employees I’ve encountered have all been [obscenity] who seem to have little interest in protecting and more in exercising power,” said one student in the comment section of the survey.

Campus Safety officials are staffed on campus 24 hours a day and provide a wide range of services. Opinion on campus safety varies but when it comes to campus safety officials patrolling, one student who requested not to be identified, felt security was lacking.

“I don’t think I can remember ever seeing a Campus Safety officer patrolling the campus with the only exception of the parking lots,” they said. “They seem to like to hang around there waiting to write parking citations.”

This kind of absence felt by the students is very concerning for A.S. President Jose Solano.

“I saw a fight happening on the Quad and Campus Safety did not show up for five minutes,” Solano said. “We can’t have that kind of response time.”

Solano also voiced concern about the growth of the school.

“If the department needs to grow because we are speaking up about it, it could mean that they may be able to get the resources they need whether it is funding to hire more officers or buy more equipment,” he said.

“Shots Fired,” is an informative video on the Campus Safety homepage about how to respond to an active shooter on campus.

“If we get any information about such a situation, we will try to find the location and description of the suspect and get Fullerton Police involved. We would call immediately as soon as we get a call,” said Sgt. Jim McKamy, Campus Safety.

Solano believes that there needs to be a committee where students should be able to evaluate Campus Safety but as of now, no such committee exist.

“We are very approachable. Any student can come to our office and speak with the directory of safety or myself,” McKamy said. “We are here for the students to make sure they have a safe environment for them to go to school.”

McKamy urges students to have the Campus Safety number saved on their phones in an event of a campus emergency. (714) 992-7777

The cotton swab test is similar to a DNA test but its purpose is to find the tissue type, which consists of millions of chromosomes and find a match in the registry’s database according to Amezquita.

“When the test gets compared to our computer database, it’s almost like matching lotto numbers,” Amezquita said.

“There’s millions of combinations

which makes it so difficult to find a match.”

The behind the scenes of the test could be considered very scientific and slightly confusing to most people but the motive of doing the test was a simple decision for many like Larissa Terrones, Fullerton College student, psychology major.

“My basketball teacher told me about the event and how Rhett’s wife needed a transplant so I decided to help and see if I am a

match,” Terrones said. “I’ve had family that had cancer, so this is pretty close to me.”

The target goal for donors registered was 500; the total received at the end of the day was 450 according to Valdez.

“This registry benefits everybody,” Rhett said. “These people can save one life or more.”

The Fullerton Police Department considers requiring officers to wear video cameras.

Kelly Thomas has forever engraved his name in the city of Fullerton.

Regardless the position that some may have whether it was supporting the police or standing with the family of an innocent victim of murder; it is evident the case strikes a chord with all Fullerton residents.

As a result the Fullerton Police Department has been under a watchful radar of the residents that their oath swears to protect and serve.

In what could be considered an effort of being transparent to the community, Fullerton Police Chief Dan Hughes’

requested $650,354 from the Fullerton City Council to buy 140 wearable cameras from Taser International.

Taser International is a company that specializes in self-defense products for both law enforcement and consumers.

If the request is approved by the city council, Fullerton police would join the

Anaheim police as the first officers in the country to be required to wear video cameras while on patrol.

The video camera would be placed on the front of an officer’s uniform and capture video and audio while they are on duty.

If approved this would replace the digital audio recorders that have been worn by the officers for the past several years.

The age we live in makes it easy to record anything and immediately post it on social media via smartphone.

Recording police is nothing new and has always been a common occurrence by citizens. A slew of YouTube videos can show amateur recordings of both the good and bad deeds of police,; such was the video recording of the beating of Thomas.

Even the Rodney King riots were spawned out of a video recording, which showed a video of King being beaten, long before it was even thought of putting a recording device on a phone.

It is unfortunate that as a society we have come to a point where the people we entrust to protect us must now be monitored but it is our duty as citizens of this nation to ensure they are doing their job efficiently.

If police have always been recorded for both the good and bad would a camera strapped on them deter from unethical practices?

Or as a society would we view law and order and what they face every day in a new perspective?

Sexting becoming a public attraction

A recent Apple Inc. hack made the private photos of a few celebrities available for the public eye.

Take caution when sending nude photos to a significant other, otherwise a personal photo may become a public attraction.

Nude photos and sexting scandals have been topics in the news several times in the past couple years.

Recently, hackers gained access to Apple Inc.’s iCloud content and stole nude photos from several celebrities.

Some have had that terrifying moment, when they hand their phone to somebody to show them a picture and then quickly realize what is just a few slides to the left or right; agonizing before they yank the phone out of the other person’s hands.

Given this thought, one might wonder what is in it for anyone to take or send pictures in their birthday suit anyways?

In the moment just before a sext, for a split second one might think, what if somebody gets their hands on this or what if they stop seeing their significant other?

Nevertheless, hormones and excitement take over and they end up sending their naked photo anyway.

There is a new medium for flirting today than there was in the past.

For those in a long distance relationship, it could be argued that it is merely phone sex utilizing the technology at hand.

At the end of the day, the main motivation is that it’s an adrenaline rush, it’s fun and exciting.

The quandary is that a few seconds of fun, flirtation and excitement could really ruin a life if the photos happen to get into the wrong hands. This makes for a difficult decision.

If it makes a person happy and it is not hurting anyone around them. If the person is single and they have the confidence to make this part of their dating repertoire, by all means let them do their thing.

JASON BURCH Sports Editor

However, they also must be prepared to accept the consequences if things do not go as planned.

Remember, relationships do not always end well and if the love between a couple turned into bitterness, one or both of them hold the most precarious of posed photos of each other.

For those that are married, this is a high risk, low reward move.

Leave this to the young bachelors and bachelorettes. That few seconds of adrenaline and pleasure felt is no match for losing a family or career. Or worse yet, the couples that have kids, there might not be a worser feeling than having to explain that to them.

Anthony Weiner suffering in sexting martyrdom should be a forewarning to all married couples with careers.

The former New York Congressman had his life shattered because of his compulsion.

As a politician, Weiner had some great ideas and could have done so much more.

Unfortunately, he got caught one too many times and now his political career is all but finished and his marriage is in pieces.

There are some newlyweds or happily married couples out there that will read this and say, “My wife and I do it all the time and we never have any problems.”

That is great, you have an awesome marriage, congratulations. Catch up with me in a decade and see how that works out for you.

The divorce rate in America is about 50 percent and that number only increases for second and third marriages.

So leave the sexting to the single and ready to mingle crowd.

Many of the Fullerton students reading this right now will probably fall into this category. If you are going to do it, then at

photo courtesy of uhclthesignal.com least take some precautions.

Be selective with whom you choose to share them with. If you are just incorporating this into your dating routine with everyone you go out with, it is pretty much almost guaranteed that things will backfire one day.

Also, be mindful of your cloud storage or where you backup your photos on your iPhone, iPads or Apple devices.

As we have all seen recently, iCloud networks are seemingly easily hacked into.

Do not let your photos get backed up to or sent to an iCloud network.

Once a photo is up on the cloud, it is likely up forever. Recently some photos have been attempted to be deleted that were backed up and it took almost two days to finally get them “permenately” removed.

The glaring truth about nude photos is that the story never ends well.

Whether you are sharing them with a lover and things turn sour, you lose your phone or your computer gets hacked, sooner or later the pictures end up in the wrong hands.

As college students, we probably don’t have to worry about our lives being ruined over a nude photo being leaked.

However, the moment you have a career or a family, that nonsense should end abruptly.

Enjoy it while you can and at your own peril.

Tinder makes hooking up that much easier

If you want to jump straight to second or third base, Tinder might be the dating app for you.

Tinder is a great social app if your only goal is to meet up with people for the mere sake of hooking up.

Working or going to school full time can make it really hard to meet and date people, which makes Tinder the perfect app to meet people who are single and ready to mingle around you.

However, some users on Tinder aren’t single at all. Some admit to being in a relationship and are only there to hook up or have a threesome.

Tinder is rumored to have more than 10 million active daily users, according to Wikipedia.com.

With all of the different mobile apps out there, Tinder makes it easy to meet people with the same interests as you who are in your surrounding areas.

POINT

REBEKA NOP Managing Editor

Known as the “hook up app,” users admit on their profile page that they are just there to have a good time. Most of the users have little to no information about themselves but will have their Instagram page listed.

Tinder is an app that you can download from the app store for free that uses your Facebook page for authenticity.

It takes your interests and likes and gives you matches with other Tinder users.

Unlike other dating platforms such as Plenty of Fish or Match.com, Tinder won’t allow anyone to send you a private message without you “liking” the other person’s profile page and without them “liking” your profile back.

You can anonymously reject a person’s

profile and it protects you from getting messages from them. This is something that isn’t offered for Plenty of Fish or Match users.

Once matched, Tinder opens up a chat forum that allows you to connect with the other user and gives you the ability to meet up in person.

Even with the capabilities of having only the users that you are interested in messaging you, it doesn’t make this dating app any different than Plenty of Fish or Match.com. Most of the people using this app are only in it for hooking up purposes and you’ll still receive creepy messages asking if you want to meet and hook up.

The other thing about this app that is a bit creepy is that it shows you how far away another Tinder user is from your location, which can lead to stalking and unwanted run-ins.

There have also been stipulations of the app having avid users who are purely

Life support:Would you pull the plug on your loved ones?

There are some things that college doesn’t prepare you for, like a dreaded phone call from a hospital telling you that a parent or loved one is in a coma and that you are the one listed as kin.

Planning for death is a subject matter that is often changed because of its unpleasantness. However, it’s something that is easier to do now, instead of waiting until someone is lying in a hospital bed.

It’ll be harder when you see them hooked up to feeding tubes, respirators, monitors and with emotions running high.

Often times, news of families battling each other in court over whether or not to pull the plug on a loved one is the starting point for an honest discussion about what you want.

My dad was in a hospice due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and did not leave any instructions in a living will or an advanced directive. He died and the lack of these documents sparked a conversation about “what ifs.”

No one should go through this.

Coming from a divorced family, it was up to my brother and I to make these decisions while still grieving.

A discussion with my mom and boyfriend led to my wishes of what to do in case anything were to happen.

It wasn’t something that was easy for them to hear. If there were no brain activity after a week, no extraordinary measures should be given to me.

This is based on quality of life. It

doesn’t need to be fussed over because of my independence.

What kind of life would it be if one were to be in bed with tubes coming out from every which way? Not a life at all.

People can argue that life is priceless but hospitals are expensive.

The debt that families are left with is the last thing that’s wanted from the dying family member.

There are many commercials on life insurance but how many college students actually have it?

The time frame of a week will give family members a chance to say farewell.

Some may argue that by creating an advanced directive that it was like committing suicide and that would lead to hell, but that’s ridiculous.

As a person who was raised Catholic and believing in God, if the brain was no longer functioning and telling the organs what to do, then you’re already dead.

God has called for the spirit to come home so all that would be left is an earthly shell hooked up to machines.

The bottom line is that this decision would be a personal one and a decision that should be made before anything tragic happens. It should be discussed with loved ones.

Quality of life over the quantity of it.

Death is an inevitable thing but if you’re able to hang on to even an ounce of life, wouldn’t you want to?

Especially if it’s the life of a loved one that is on the line.

Life can get really complicated, especially with a full work and school schedule, making time for friends and then having to think about if you should keep your loved one on life support at the hospital.

It’s a tough decision to make and it could easily put everything else on the back burner.

If you are the sole person responsible for deciding the life of another human being, would you really choose to kill them?

This is definitely a decision that you can never take back.

That’s basically the same thing when it comes to life support. You are choosing to either keep the person alive or to send them to their grave.

Personally, life shouldn’t be given up on that easily.

Life is precious. Even if they are just lying there lifelessly on a hospital bed, it’s important to cherish every moment you are able to have with them.

It’s unfair to pull the plug. It’s basically saying you’re giving up.

As long as they are still breathing, even if it’s because of a machine, there’s still hope for them to get better.

It’s unimaginable to wake up and make such a tough, life altering decision like

hooking up with other users without using protection.

Tinder has become a casual sex platform for dating apps and even users who are in relationships are looking for other users to hook up with them and their significant other. The reputation of this mobile app doesn’t give people the creditability to be seen as “relationship material.”

But for those who are too busy with work or school, Tinder can be a fun app to have. You can spend hours “liking” or “rejecting” other users, based on if you think they’re hot or not. So it makes time go by, but if you’re looking for something a little more than just a one night stand, Tinder isn’t the right app for you.

that and find out later that there was a way to make them better.

If placed in this situation, I would want to be kept alive as long as possible. Being a fighter, it would make me extremely sad to know that I was given up on, that my friends and family members didn’t think I had the heart or was strong enough to fight for my life.

Just because someone is lying in a hospital bed, motionless and seemingly lifeless, it doesn’t mean that they can’t hear or feel someone’s presence.

You want to give your loved ones their best chance possible and if that means spending some extra money so that you’re able to see them every day, then so be it.

It’s a selfish thing, to want to hang on when you know you should be letting go but keeping them alive just seems like the right thing to do.

If it was really their time to go, then death would’ve already gotten them. It doesn’t make sense if they made it all the way to the hospital just to die.

Why would we have all this technology if life support wasn’t important? If it didn’t work?

Medicine is always changing and there are always new discoveries. You just need to hang on a little bit longer.

How to tackle Netflix marathons like a pro and not let the rest of your life burn down around you.

ANASTACIA BARBOSA Hornet Reporter

Everyone has been there. You have an hour to kill, so you decide to start that one show your friend has been bugging you to watch. Suddenly, one episode turns into two, two turns into three and by the time you find yourself standing up to go to the kitchen you check your phone and see it’s 3 a.m. and you have a test in five hours. Do you study, sleep, or finish those last 20 minutes of episode three?

As college students we are prone to procrastination. Deadlines mean nothing to us until we’re staring it right in the face with no time to catch up.

Plan, plan, plan - You know that planner you write your daily assignments and homework in you may have your work schedule or important appointments scribbled throughout it, that thing, you’re going to want to use that to plan your episodes. Scatter your episodes amongst your free time. If you see a generally free evening in your future, plan to finish up those last few episodes of season two and maybe start season three.

Use the buddy system - Things are always better when done with a friend. A friend will be there to go with you, just as “casual fans” to that one panel in LA or Burbank with the cast and crew of the show. But mostly a friend will be there to remind you, or for you to remind them, to press “pause” and go to the library so you can finish researching climate change patterns for that earth science paper.

Know your limits - As a human being with physical, psychological and emotional needs, you must realize that when you press “play” and you’re telling yourself, “just one more episode” you are realistically going to sit through at least two episodes. Your mind needs rest. Sleep resets the brain and charges it for another day of binge watching. Also, keep yourself hydrated on things besides coffee and energy drinks, or you’ll find yourself waking up in a hospital bed severely dehydrated and looking for Doctor McSteamy.

Mix it up - Sitting in your bed with your laptop for a whole weekend finishing up the last two seasons of Breaking Bad sounds like a great idea, but it’s really not. Try and be productive and put your multi-tasking skills to work. If Walter White can live a double life, so can you. Watch some episodes on your computer while eating your well-rounded meals of ramen and Gatorade, maybe listen to some on your smartphone while jogging on treadmill at the gym, or play it on your television while folding some laundry. Be productive and you’ll find yourself in a good place when you run out of episodes.

Keep reality in focus - Just because Olivia Pope is covering up for all these White House scandals and destroying super secret spy agencies all for the sake of the Republic, doesn’t mean this is really happening in our nation’s capital.

You don’t have to sacrifice your sacred TV shows and marathons, you just have to learn how to manage them and intertwine them within your day to day life. Multitasking is a skill you can practice now and use in the future when instead of procrastinating on your history paper, you’re procrastinating on your work reports.

An insight to this semesters trends from the Fashion Department Coordinator.

NICOLE KING News Editor

We sat down with the only fulltime fashion instructor and Fashion Department Coordinator at Fullerton College, Renee Young, for a few style tips and some industry advice.

Hornet: What do think some of the biggest fashion trends are for the fall semesters?

Young: We just did a fall presentation but we work ahead of time. So we do fall 2015/2016. We’re seeing a lot of a maroon red color, a lot of orange and a lot of geometric prints. We also saw a lot of soft pastel colors, especially violet.

Hornet: What kind of classes are you recommending for students that are hoping to break into the industry and basically get a generally idea about the fashion industry?

Young: I would take fashion careers, it talks about all the different careers that we have. Then I took introduction to the fashion industry, so you’ll kind of know merchandise and what’s available but more about designers and basically what it’s all about. With those classes you’ll be either a fashion designer or fashion merchandiser or we have other jobs like dress making, alterations and image consultants.

Music instructor creates harmony with students The appreciation for their teacher is evident in their words.

AMANDA LEE Hornet Reporter

A poster outside the Band Room says “Join Jerry’s Kidz” with a list of classes taught by Jerry Garvin, a music instructor who is also a professional performer when he is not teaching.

Garvin started teaching classes at Fullerton College in 1990. The nickname Jerry’s Kidz has been around for a long time but the the “s” was changed to a “z” to avoid copyright infringement.

As a teacher and professional musician, Garvin hopes to associate music with positive experiences and spur his students

FC Music Calendar

to do better.

“You have to be able to demonstrate your craft by doing it well, as well as possible,” Garvin said. “I’m glad I have the opportunity to be a professional musician outside of what I do here.”

Besides teaching classes and advising the pep band, Garvin prepares his students for the professional world with “concert hour” on Friday mornings.

Some of Garvin’s students enter the music program not knowing what they want to do but Garvin encourages them to push themselves and gives them the motivation they need. “He doesn’t have to do any of that stuff, he just does it out of love,” said music student Austin Morris.

Being a part of Jerry’s Kidz has helped students grow by pushing themselves and

exploring a variety of instruments. “He’s also inspired us to go past our limits, seeing him makes us reach for the stars,” said student Isaias Baquedano.

The music department is like a family because of its small size, providing the opportunity for students to get to know each other. Students see Garvin as a source of motivation. “[Garvin] brings enthusiasm and joy to his instruction and transfers that over,” Morris said.

“Jerry is one of the friendliest faculty you’ll probably meet on campus,” said music student Moises Cortes. “He’s one of those people you meet once in a lifetime, you won’t ever forget that kind of hospitality.”

What he loves about teaching is helping people along and achieve their dreams.

Hornet: What advice do you have for students that want to express themselves but may feel insecure or are unsure how to put a fashionable outfit together?

Young: I think that they should take a risk by putting something together. Ask an expert if they’re not sure. They can also look Online because there is a lot of trend reports out and see what colors go together and what looks good together before they start dressing themselves.”

Hornet: What are you expecting from the fashion students this semester and what are you hoping to teach them about the fashion industry?

Young: In most of my classes it’s hands on. They learn the foundation of making a flat pattern and making it 3D. Also they can take a pattern and then measure themselves and make a new pattern from that. We also do a lot of draping. We have the foundation classes and the advanced classes.

Hornet: What advice do you have for students that want to break into the fashion industry with their own line or to find employment in fashion?

Young: They should take all the classes related to designer merchandising, do the foundation classes and the advanced classes. They should be able to take the computer pattern making class, the computer class with illustrator and Photoshop and should take our internship class to get their foot in the door. If you’re well rounded with English and Math, you would be more likely to get a decent entry level position.

ANASTACIA BARBOSA Hornet Reporter

Phone Wars CONNIE LEE Hornet Reporter

This fall season is kicking off full of anticipation with the arrivals of the iPhone 6 and the Motorola Moto X. With both being in competition to be the best of the best, people are having a tough time deciding which one would be a better purchase.

Apple is coming out with two different versions of their new phone, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. They are hoping to increase revenue with the release of iOS 8, which will include lots of new features that iOS 7 did not have including new technologies for game development, custom actions buttons and Swift, the brand-new programming language. It will even have the new Apple Pay, a NFC-powered payment system that turns the iPhone into a credit card.

Motorola is Apple’s main rival with their “pure Android” Moto X and expect it to be a bigger hit than the iPhone 6. They are using the new Android 4.4.4 KitKat software that is claimed to be the greatest OS version so

far. Some of the features include using hand gestures to activate certain phone capabilities and a right mode so the Moto X can read texts aloud. The iPhone 6 is going to have an even bigger screen at 4.7 inches while the Plus will be almost tablet sized at 5.5 inches.

Both of the new iPhones are showing off their new flatter design, faster A8 processors, a bigger storage capacity up to 128GB. The Moto X has the same look and feel as the previous X that came out before but bigger. It features a 5.2inch screen with curved corners to fit better in palms.

The sound quality is definitely improved with front stereo speakers but the storage has to stay at 16GB and 32GB due to the lack of an SD card slot.

The camera on the iPhone 6 and Plus are also supposed to be slighty improved.

This Is Where I Leave You

ANASTACIA BARBOSA Hornet Reporter

A dramatic comedy that leaves you pondering how you’d deal with a major death in your family as a young adult with siblings.

“This Is Where I Leave You,” a film based on the beloved book by Jonathan Tropper, is an emotional character study film about a family coming together after the death of the patriarch. Directed by Shawn Levy, known for more lighthearted comedies such as the “Night at the Museum” trilogy, “Cheaper by the Dozen”, “Date Night” and “The Internship,” plays around with the definition of a dramedy.

The film is marketed as a comedy, and though it has its moments, it’s more of a drama with its lighthearted scenes.

The comedy was strung well through out the film and never over powered the dramatic tone of the film. The script, written by book author Jonathan Topper, played into the general witty banter that happens amongst grown siblings and parents.

With the film being a character study, there really is no climax or resolution.

Unfortunately you can’t truly examine all the characters in a 2 hour span of time, but for the most part the film does it’s best to cover the five main character’s conflicts with depth and ease.

The movie was well executed and successfully utilized the hilarious cast.

It’s a refreshing blend of the comedy and drama genres for all families to enjoy.

Finale Season Shows Sons of Anarchy – In the final season of FX’s bike gang show, Jax Teller is hell bent on revenge for the murder of Tara. Rivalries are started and wars break out. No one is safe from having their blood shed and there’s no guarantee as to who will be left standing when the final credits roll. Watch the last season on FX starting Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 10 p.m.

Parks and Recreation – Yes the end is coming for the beloved government workers at Pawnee, Indiana’s local Parks and Recreation office. How to say goodbye in 12 episodes when viewers were only introduced to Amy and Ben’s triplets in a big time jump. What is to become of Andy Dwyer and April Ludgate?

both feature a new iSight Camera at 8-megapixel with a sapphire crystal lens cover and the video shot will be in 1080p HD. On the Moto X, there is quite a step up from its previous 10-megapixel shooter. The new camera will feature a 13-megapixel cameras which means sharper shots.

The iPhone 6 and Plus runs from $199 to $649 and the Moto X is $500. Both are pretty steep in price, especially without knowing all the features on either phone and if they are actually worth paying for.

Resolution and size wise, the iPhone 6 and Plus and the Moto X are about the same except the iPhone takes the cake overall. The only difference is that photography fans might notice is that the Moto X has less storage but the camera quality is significantly greater than the iPhone 6. For an Android, the Moto X’s price is right between Apple’s and doesn’t offer any better of a deal.

THE SKELETON TWINS

HETTY LA

Hornet Reporter

Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig are at their most magnetic in the indie comedy-drama “The Skeleton Twins.”

Directed by newcomer Craig Johnson, “The Skeleton Twins” is a tale of two estranged siblings fumbling to reconnect after 10 years apart Wbut only after both their lives have taken turns for the worse and led them to their darkest corners.

We follow our protagonists through the cringing pains and awkward glances of rebuilding a relationship after an entire decade apart.

Although former co-stars Wiig and Hader are better known for their comedic dexterity from their days on Saturday Night Live, the two shine brilliantly in

even the most emotionally-heavy scenes.

The film asks a lot of our two actors: light and silly to dark and brooding to cutthroat and brutal. But not surprisingly, given the two’s lengthy past in Saturday Night Live and their friendship off the set, they make it work. The chemistry between Wiig and Hader is undeniable, from the silliest fart-related scenes to the heaviest gut-wrenching monologues.

Weaving a tight-knit web of humor and brooding drama, Johnson examines the intricacies of sibling love and the gray area of depression and suicide. This approach is a refreshing reflection of reality: not every moment will be soul-crushing, nor will every moment elicit an impromptu lip-syncing of a popular 80s song.

“The Skeleton Twins” is an irreverent, unforgiving, and undeniable gem of a film.

Morgan wishes.

Besides the discounted hotel rooms and ticket prices for those on the Dapper Day email list, Disney has no hand in the event. For now the events are solely set up and executed by Morgan and his team of volunteers. Disney cannot acknowledge unofficial gatherings unless they see fit. It’d be a matter of, if Disney acknowledged one event, they’d have to acknowledge other ones such as “Bat Days” and “Gay Days”.

Dapper Day will continue being an unofficial event for now but will still be as enjoyable as ever. For those interested in learning more about Dapper Day and attending the spring event, visit the website at Dapperday. com.

Southern California residents don their Sunday best and turn the Disneyland Resort into a one-of-a-kind fashion show.

ANASTACIA BARBOSA Hornet Reporter

Disneyland fans from everywhere weathered the heat in the parks while wearing their Sunday Best on Friday September 12th to celebrate Dapper Day. Dapper Day is an unofficial event founded by Justin Morgan in 2011 and originating at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.

“I felt it that people were in need and wanting a reason to dress up and honor the original feel of the parks.”

Morgan said.

Morgan felt that many people were tired of seeing attendees dressed down so casually.

When Disneyland first opened in 1955, there was actually a set of “preferred” dressing guidelines.

Ladies were suggested to wear patterned dresses with hemlines well below the knee, or shirts and blouses that covered most of the arms and legs. Men were to wear nice trousers, collared shirts, leather shoes, and suspenders or a sweater.

Going to the parks felt like an event one would prepare for weeks ahead of time. People wanted to look their best when attending the parks. Now a days people go to the park and it’s not uncommon to see men and women in workout clothes, mismatched outfits, and ill-fitting clothing. There seems to be little to no regard for the park nor the patrons in it.

Disneyland goers wanted a day to bring back the panache of the early days of Disneyland, to have a day where attending really felt like an event again.

Morgan saw the need for this and brought back the idea with diligence and grace.The first Dapper Day was held in February of 2011 at the Disneyland Resort, just about 1,000 persons attended in their best clothing, most dressed with a 50s and 60s flare.

Bright colored clothing, fluffy skirts, high heels, suspenders, and hair spray up dos continued to dominate event after event. Dapper Day soon spread to Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in Paris.

This fall’s event at Disneyland, nearly a quarter of the park attendees were Dapper Day participants. It

was nearly impossible to estimate the number of actual participants. Participating patrons met up on the King Aurthur’s Merry-Go-Round with an after party Folly at a nearby restaurant. New this year was the Dapper Day Expo at the Grand Californian Hotel Convention Center.

The expo had everything from a styling suite to photo booths to portrait artists. Vintage shops from all over Southern California attended , bringing actual vintage clothing, vintage inspired clothing and accessories, and much more. There were ice water pitchers everywhere to keep everyone cool in the 100 degree weather. The expo proved to be a great success and will be continuing at the Spring Dapper Day in March.

“In the future, I’d hope for more cooperation and acknowledgment from Disney in assisting the event.”

Running back Khalil Wilson finds an opening in the Falcons defense Saturday. Wilson rushed for 87 yards in the 24-21 victory for the Hornets.

Special teams makes a difference in a nail biting win against the Falcons.

LUKE WILSON Hornet Reporter

An exciting back and forth game at Yorba Linda HS ends in the Hornets favor.

Nail biting only starts to explain Saturday’s victory for the Fullerton Hornets (2-1) over the Cerritos Falcons (2-1). Between the electric special teams plays, the explosive down-the-field throws, and the competitive score throughout the Hornets really earned their 24-21 win.

The first drive was a bit of an anomaly for the Hornets, but was one they will take any day of the week. After a rough 10yard drive, the Hornets brought out their punting unit, and it would prove to be one of their most effective offensive units of the game.

Fullerton punter Casey Eyman was unable to field the strong snap over his head but after scrambling backwards and grabbing the ball, he saw nothing but green grass to the left side of the field. He turned on the jets and picked up 18 yards for a first down.

It might not have been the way that special teams coach, Dustin Sober, drew it up for the Hornets, but they’ll take it every single time. Even better, the play energized the Hornets sideline and they drove the remaining field to punch the ball into the end zone on an off-tackle run by running back Eugene Baker in the red zone.

Fullerton’s offense made strides this week in taking care of and moving the football on the ground. The Hornets led in time of possession with almost 35 minutes.

The offensive unit also out rushed Cerritos by 124 yards.

“At the beginning of the season, we weren’t doing a whole lot well. Now, we are doing a much better job in a lot of areas and not making so many mental errors,” said LJ Gainey, wide receiver for the Hornets. “We are coming together as a team and finding a rhythm on offense.

Everybody is more focused on the success of the team rather than themselves.”

On defense, the Hornets were stout against the run, but unable to combat the deep play-action passes of the Falcons.

After Fullerton’s score, the Falcons answered on just such a play. Domonique Young, wide receiver for the Falcons, found himself wide open on a 70-yard

touchdown pass from quarterback Jimmy Walker.

An exciting first quarter ended at 7-7.

The second quarter began with Eyman giving the Hornets a 3 point lead, as he connected on a 20-yard field goal. After that score, however, the game slowed down. Both teams had drives derailed by penalties.

Linebacker Jakob McCarthy helped his team out with a timely interception on a well executed tip drill. Unfortunately, the Hornets were unable to capitalize with any points, turning the ball over on downs.

The scary moment on that drive, however, came when running back Khalil Wilson fell to the ground on a carry without being touched by a defender. You could hear the gasps, as sometimes the brutal non-contact injuries are often more hampering to a player’s career than contact injuries. Thankfully, Wilson returned in the game and looked great.

Cerritos took advantage of the Hornets’ turnover on downs, and ran the one minute drill to perfection. Driving nearly 80 yards with no timeouts to punch in a touchdown bringing the score to 14-10 Falcons at the end of the first half.

The beginning of the second half started

with a bang, and in a very similar fashion that the first half did. Fullerton’s secret offensive weapon came to the field, as the punting unit came out on a fourth down play early in the drive.

Rather than depend on Eyman’s ability to create, the Hornets showed some slightof-hand and ran a fake punt pass with Eyman completing a 6-yard pass to tight end Tim Holt for the drive saving first down.

Once again, the Hornets and quarterback Joey Verhaegh capitalized on their special teams play and scored on a beautifully thrown 37-yard pass to wide receiver Ryan Markush.

Special teams even helped the Hornets when the Falcons were the team with possession. The following drive resulted in a Falcons punt, but Falcons punter Corey Bojorquez was only able to get the ball 20 yards to the 50-yard line, giving Fullerton great field position.

After a 10 play drive, four of the plays handing the ball to Wilson, the Hornets were able to sneak the ball into the end zone on a quarterback keeper run over the left guard. [see Stingy, on page 11]

Adrian Peterson arrested for abusing his 4-year old son

JASON BURCH Sports Editor

The Minnesota Vikings All-Pro running back allegedly punished his 4-year-old son with a tree branch, leaving welts and even drawing blood.

This week we learned another All-Pro NFL running back was involved in a domestic violence incident. Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings turned himself in on charges of child abuse. Peterson is currently out on $15,000 bail.

Back in May, Peterson resorted to using a branch off a tree, also called a switch on his 4-year-old son for misbehaving. Images of Peterson's son showed about a dozen welts and some of them appeared to have drawn blood.

Prior to this incident surfacing, Peterson possessed an immaculate reputation for being a great guy. Peterson has been completely cooperative with Texas police and law officials. During a police interview, Peterson pensively explained his side of things.

"To be honest with you, I feel very confident in my actions because I know my intent," said Peterson.

Outlying the intent, is Peterson's lack of self-awareness.

The Vikings star is listed at 6 feet 3 inches tall and 235 pounds; anyone who has ever watched him play knows how powerful Peterson is.

For a man, but especially a man Peterson's size, to not realize it would be excessive to grab a tree branch and whip his 4-year- old son a dozen times across his bare skin, is completely and unconscionably ignorant. It is one thing to spank your child it is another thing to draw blood.

This is a cultural issue at it's core. Peterson was born and raised in Texas. There are a lot of people in the south that believe what Peterson did is not that bad and think he should still be playing.

ESPN did a poll and asked the question, "Do you think Adrian Peterson should be allowed to play this week?"

The only states that answered yes to the question were

all southern states; Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.

Peterson has several times alluded to the fact, that this is how I was raised and I came out fine. I am a good person so it must be right. The southern region contains the most poorly educated states in terms of average level of education attained.

The problem is it gets passed down through generations. Those who were beaten become beaters. The uneducated are less likely to have studied any parenting skills, they just know how they were raised.

Students who have taken sociology, psychology or parenting classes knows that there are better ways to instill discipline in a child. Using a corporal punishment environment is not the most effective way to raise your children.

In an interview with The New Yorker, Peterson tried to explain his actions.

"I never imagined being in a position where the world is judging my parenting skills or calling me a child abuser because of the discipline I administered to my son," he said. "I am not a perfect son. I am not a perfect husband.

I am not a perfect parent, but I am, without a doubt, not a child abuser. I am someone that disciplined his child and did not intend to cause him any injury."

Race is also a factor. New York Times contributor, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson brought up a theory that makes a lot of sense. Traditionally, black parents are more likely to spank their children than white parents. Dyson believes fear is what motivates black parents. It stems from how blacks have historically been treated by police authorities, or even going back further, by slave owners.

"The lash of the plantation overseer fell heavily on children to whip them into fear of white authority," Dyson said.

Disturbingly, this still holds some significance in our society today. The bottom line is, some black parents still practice corporal punishment because they would rather the beating come from them rather than the police.

Just when things were seeming to get away from Cerritos, they turned to their deceptive playaction call, and Walker was able to throw a 48-yard pass touchdown to his explosive wide receiver Young once again.

The third quarter ended 24-21 Fullerton.

Going into the final quarter, it was clear that the Hornets defense would be leaned on to come up with some critical stops. Fullerton defensive coordinator, Brian Crooks was happy with his unit’s performance down the stretch, but still sees room for them to get even better.

“My guys are learning how to play hard every play and it is showing. The area where we can still improve is by not making mental mistakes and limiting our penalties,” Crooks said.

The fourth quarter started off with a game changing play for Fullerton. After a three play drive for Cerritos, Walker was

intercepted by Hornet defensive back Marnez Ogletree, and that would prove to be the final explosive play of the game.

Crooks spoke about his cornerback’s performance.

“Ogletree played well, he really shut down their top receiver in the fourth quarter,” he said.

Gainey also shared his appreciation for his cohorts on the other side of the ball.

“Defense really saved us in the fourth quarter. We had should have been able to score and put the game out of reach. Defense has been playing well all year for us,” he said.

After a few nail-biting drives resulting in a Falcons strip-sack for a fumble, and three turnover-ondowns, the Hornets were able to hold on until the victory formation was called on with less than 1 minute remaining.

who is often outspoken on social issues, makes an astute observation about being self-aware and the power of educating yourself.

"My mom did the best job she could do, raising seven kids by herself. But there are thousands of things that I have learned since then that my mom was wrong. It’s the twenty-first century," he said. "You can’t beat a kid to make them do what you want. Thousands of things we have learned since then."

Peterson is not alone in needing some education. The entire NFL needs to implement domestic violence and parenting skills education or seminars as part of rookie orientation. There have been 14 domestic violence arrests in the NFL since 2011.

There is probably a mob of people who right now think that Peterson should never play again. And there are going to be protestors of Peterson the rest of his career. I am vehemently against taking away a person's livelihood.

People deserve second chances in life, especially those who have have impeccable reputations.

I am in no way condoning what Peterson did. However, the ease at which he cooperated with the police and all of the statements I have read make me believe Peterson is deserving of another opportunity, in both football and in life as a parent.

It will hopefully be an experience that he learns and grows a great deal from. The best running back in the NFL has a tougher job ahead of him, being the best father he can be.
