Thinking of moving or just budgeting? The "Living Wage Calculator", with the cheery title of "Poverty in America", is quite interesting: http://www.livingwage.geog.psu.edu/
In other news, I was recently looking for some clip art for a portcullis. Yes, my googling is so facinating. I wanted a logo for a X11 screen locker I'd written ( also exciting ). I'll post the source for that if I ever get around to figuring out the GNOME hook part and how I want to do it.
I also looked up halberd, thinking of crossed pole arms. Halberd didn't work to well, but the results were expected. Glaive. Remember that was the name of uber shuriken in Krull? Yeah, the name is quite popular in fantasy. Same with polearm. Spear was ambiguous at best, but when I typed it, I also saw "spears" was a more popular option. Without thinking I typed spears and was immediately bombarded with a montage of naked flesh.
I told you that to tell you this. In my search I chanced up the Gutenberg Project's edition of The Handbook to English Heraldry. I was amazed that all the images were also included in the edition. Ages ago it was just ascii. This is old news, but it was news to me.
