The Long Island town of Kings Point has decided everything within its limits will be recorded.
The 3.3-square mile North Shore community is home to 5,000 residents. The plan calls for 44 cameras to eventually be installed at the village’s 19 entrances. That’s about one camera for every 120 people.
Anyone who enters the town will have their license plate scanned and, if there is a match in a criminal database, the police will be notified. The mayor says it’s to protect residents because there are apparently many crimes in this upscale, exclusive community.
I’m all for catching criminals, but the invasion of privacy implications are just…whoa.

Keep in mind that every vocation has individual strengths and weaknesses.
If you choose to be a sorcerer or a druid, your first step
should be a visit to the local magic shop in your new home city.
The Magic High Council has issued an order that every initiate should obtain
a wand or a rod! So if you are a sorcerer or druid
who has not obtained his first magical weapon
on the Island of Destiny, you should find the right merchant and ask for a
wand if you are a sorcerer or for a rod if you are druid.
Also, all mages should start buying more spells as
soon as possible. Keep in mind, however, that they are not always sold
in magic shops. In some cities you will have to take a good look around to find your local spell dealer.
Knights and paladins should also buy spells early on, for they
can use some magic, too. However, adequate equipment and good skills are more important for these vocations, so perhaps it is a better idea to
spend your money on arms and armour and look for some easy
monsters on which you can improve your skills..
