SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Three months after superstorm Sandy, many New York City residents are still out of their homes and stuck in limbo. More than 1,800 families in Queens, Staten Island, Brooklyn and Manhattan are still living in motels after the October 29th storm.
Two case managers from Syracuse's Salvation Army just returned from a trip to help those displaced by Sandy. Ellen Aldrich and Joelle Harrison joined workers from around the world to help with relief efforts. They had a number of jobs, including giving out metro cards and furniture vouchers, helping people fill out paperwork to get assistance, and moving families from transitional to permanent housing.
"We were hearing that, 'Everybody's forgotten about us. Nobody cares anymore.' So we did care for them. We listened. They seem to have lost a little faith in a lot of things. And I hope we brought some of that faith back for them," said Ellen Aldrich, a Salvation Army case manager.
Joelle Harrison, another Salvation Army case manager added, "We were a listening ear. We were a hand to hold. We were someone that just provided compassion to these people who are struggling."
They included a picture from their trip. They say there is still so much devastation and more volunteers are needed to help with the relief effort.

Desert Fathers
The Desert Fathers (there were also Desert Mothers) were Christian hermits, ascetics, and monks who lived mainly in the Scetes desert of Egypt beginning around the third century AD. The Apophthegmata Patrum is a collection of the wisdom of some of the early desert monks and nuns, still in print as Sayings of the Desert Fathers. The most well known was Anthony the Great, who moved to the desert in 270–271 and became known as both the father and founder of desert monasticism. By the time Anthony died in 356, thousands of monks and nuns had been drawn to living in the desert following Anthony's example — his biographer, Athanasius of Alexandria, wrote that "the desert had become a city."[1] The Desert Fathers had a major influence on the development of Christianity.
The desert monastic communities that grew out of the informal gathering of hermit monks became the model for Christian monasticism. The eastern monastic tradition at Mt. Athos and the western Rule of St. Benedict both were strongly influenced by the traditions that began in the desert. All of the monastic revivals of the Middle Ages looked to the desert for inspiration and guidance. Much of Eastern Christian spirituality, including the Hesychast movement, had its roots in the practices of the Desert Fathers. Even religious renewals such as the German evangelicals and Pietists in Pennsylvania, the Devotio Moderna movement, and the Methodist Revival in England are seen by modern scholars as being influenced by the Desert Fathers.[2]
Early history[edit]
Paul of Thebes is often credited with being the first hermit monk to go to the desert, but it was Anthony the Great who launched the movement that became the Desert Fathers.[3] Sometime around 270 AD, Anthony heard a Sunday sermon stating that perfection could be achieved by selling all of one's possessions, giving the proceeds to the poor, and following Christ.(Matt. 19.21) He followed the advice and made the further step of moving deep into the desert to seek complete solitude.[1]
Anthony lived in a time of transition for Christianity — the Diocletianic Persecution in 303 AD was the last great formal persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. Only ten years later, Christianity was made legal in Egypt by Diocletian's successor Constantine I. Those who left for the desert formed an alternate Christian society, at a time when it was no longer a risk to be a Christian. The solitude, austerity, and sacrifice of the desert was seen by Anthony as an alternative to martyrdom, which was formerly seen by many Christians as the highest form of sacrifice.[4] Around this time, desert monasticism appeared nearly simultaneously in several areas, including Egypt and Syria.[1]
Over time, the model of Anthony and other hermits attracted many followers, who lived alone in the desert or in small groups. They chose a life of extreme asceticism, renouncing all the pleasures of the senses, rich food, baths, rest, and anything that made them comfortable.[5] Thousands joined them in the desert, mostly men but also a handful of women. Religious seekers also began going to the desert seeking advice and counsel from the early Desert Fathers. By the time of Anthony's death, there were so many men and women living in the desert that it was described as "a city" by Anthony's biographer.[1]
Three main types of monasticism developed in Egypt around the Desert Fathers. One was the austere life of the hermit, as practiced by Anthony and his followers in lower Egypt. Another was the cenobitic life, communities of monks and nuns in upper Egypt formed by Pachomius. The third was a semi-hermitic lifestyle seen mostly in Nitria, Kellia and Scetis, west of the Nile, begun by Saint Amun. The latter were small groups (two to six) of monks and nuns with a common spiritual elder — these separate groups would join together in larger gatherings to worship on Saturdays and Sundays. This third form of monasticism was responsible for most of the sayings that were compiled as the Apophthegmata Patrum (Sayings of the Desert Fathers).[1]
Development of monastic communities[edit]
The small communities forming around the Desert Fathers were the beginning of Christian monasticism. Initially Anthony and others lived as hermits, sometimes forming groups of two or three. Small informal communities began developing, until the monk Pachomius, seeing the need for a more formal structure, established a monastery with rules and organization. His regulations included discipline, obedience, manual labor, silence, fasting, and long periods of prayer — some historians view the rules as being inspired by Pachomius' experiences as a Roman soldier.[5]
The first fully organized monastery under Pachomius included men and women living in separate quarters, up to three in a room. They supported themselves by weaving cloth and baskets, along with other tasks. Each new monk or nun had a three year probationary period, concluding with admittance in full standing to the monastery. All property was held communally, meals were eaten together and in silence, twice a week they fasted, and they wore simple peasant clothing with a hood. Several times a day they came together for prayer and readings, and each person was expected to spend time alone meditating on the scriptures. Programs were created for educating those who came to the monastery unable to read.[6]
Pachomius also formalized the establishment of an abba (father) or amma (mother) in charge of the spiritual welfare of their monks and nuns, with the implication that those joining the monastery were also joining a new family. Members also formed smaller groups, with different tasks in the community and the responsibility of looking after each other's welfare. The new approach grew to the point that there were tens of thousands of monks and nuns in these organized communities within decades of Pachomius' death.[6] One of the early pilgrims to the desert was Basil of Caesarea, who took the Rule of Pachomius into the eastern church. Basil expanded the idea of community by integrating the monks and nuns into the wider public community, with the monks and nuns under the authority of a bishop and serving the poor and needy.[6]
As more pilgrims began visiting the monks in the desert, the early literature coming from the monastic communities began spreading. Latin versions of the original Greek stories and sayings of the Desert Fathers, along with the earliest monastic rules coming out of the desert, guided the early monastic development in the Byzantine world and eventually in the western Christian world.[7] The Rule of Saint Benedict was strongly influenced by the Desert Fathers, with Saint Benedict urging his monks to read the writings of John Cassian on the Desert Fathers. The Sayings of the Desert Fathers was also widely read in the early Benedictine monasteries.[8]
Notable Desert Fathers and Mothers[edit]
Many of the monks and nuns developed a reputation for holiness and wisdom, with the small communities following a particularly holy or wise elder, who was their spiritual father (abba) or mother (amma). The individual Desert Fathers and Desert Mothers are mostly known through The Sayings of the Desert Fathers, which included 1,202 sayings attributed to twenty-seven abbas and three ammas.[9] The greatest number of sayings are attributed to Abba "Poemen," Greek for "shepherd." Because of the wide disparity of dates for the sayings attributed to Abba Poemen, some scholars believe that "Poemen" was a generic name for a combination of different unnamed Abbas.[10] Others conclude that the sayings attributed to Abba Poemen are accurate, based on a notable and historical Abba Poemen.[11] Among the notable Desert Fathers and Mothers with sayings in the book, in addition to Anthony, were Abba Arsenius, Abba Poemen, Abba Macarius of Egypt, Abba Moses the Black, and Amma Syncletica of Alexandria.[12]
Other notable Desert Fathers include Pachomius and Shenouda the Archimandrite, and many individuals who spent part of their lives in the Egyptian desert, including Athanasius of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Evagrius Ponticus, Hilarion and John Cassian. Cassian's works brought the wisdom of the Desert Fathers into a wider arena.

Contemporary Papal views
Withdrawal from society[edit]
The legalization of Christianity by the Roman Empire in 313 actually gave Anthony a greater resolve to go out into the desert. Anthony, who was nostalgic for the tradition of martyrdom, saw withdrawal and asceticism as an alternative. When members of the Church began finding ways to work with the Roman state, the Desert Fathers saw that as a compromise between "the things of God and the things of Caesar." The monastic communities were essentially an alternate Christian society.[4] The hermits doubted that religion and politics could ever produce a truly Christian society. For them, the only Christian society was spiritual and not mundane.[13]
Hesychasm (from the Greek for "stillness, rest, quiet, silence")[14] is a mystical tradition and movement that originated with the Desert Fathers and was central to their practice of prayer.[15][16][17] Hesychasm for the Desert Fathers was primarily the practice of "interior silence and continual prayer." It didn't become a formal movement of specific practices until the fourteenth century Byzantine meditative prayer techniques, when it was more closely identified with the Prayer of the Heart, or "Jesus Prayer."[18][19] That prayer's origin is also traced back to the Desert Fathers—the Prayer of the Heart was found inscribed in the ruins of a cell from that period in the Egyptian desert.[20] The earliest written reference to the practice of the Prayer of the Heart may be in a text from the Philokalia by Abba Philimon, a Desert Father.[21] Hesychast prayer was a meditative practice that was traditionally done in silence and with eyes closed—"empty of mental pictures" and visual concepts, but with the intense consciousness of God's presence.[22]
The words hesychast and hesychia were frequently used in 4th and 5th century writings of Desert Fathers such as Macarius of Egypt, Evagrius Ponticus, and Gregory of Nyssa.[23] The title hesychast was used in early times synonymously with "hermit," as compared to a cenobite who lived in community.[19] Hesychasm can refer to inner or outer stillness, though in The Sayings of the Desert Fathers it referred to inner tranquility.[24]
Charity and forgiveness[edit]
The Desert Fathers gave a great deal of emphasis to living and practicing the teachings of Christ, much more than mere theoretical knowledge. Their efforts to live the commandments were not seen as being easy—many of the stories from that time recount the struggle to overcome negative emotions such as anger and judgment of others. Helping a brother monk who was ill or struggling was seen as taking priority over any other consideration. Hermits were frequently seen to break a long fast when hosting visitors, as hospitality and kindness were more important than keeping the ascetic practices that were so dominant in the Desert Fathers' lives.[25]
Recitation of scripture[edit]
The lives of the Desert Fathers that were organized into communities included frequent recitation of the scriptures—during the week they chanted psalms while performing manual labor and during the weekends they held liturgies and group services. The monk's experience in the cell occurred in a variety of ways, including meditation on scripture.[26][27] Group practices were more prominent in the organized communities formed by Pachomius.[6] The purpose of these practices were explained by John Cassian, a Desert Father, who described the goal of psalmody (the outward recitation of scripture) and asceticism as the ascent to deep mystical prayer and mystical contemplation.[24]
Excerpts from The Sayings of the Desert Fathers[edit]
- "A hermit said, 'Take care to be silent. Empty your mind. Attend to your meditation in the fear of God, whether you are resting or at work. If you do this, you will not fear the attacks of the demons."
- Abba Moses, "Sit in thy cell and thy cell will teach thee all."
- "Somebody asked Anthony, 'What shall I do in order to please God?' He replied, 'Do what I tell you, which is this: wherever you go, keep God in mind; whatever you do, follow the example of Holy Scripture; wherever you are, stay there and do not move away in a hurry. If you keep to these guide-lines, you will be saved.'"
- "He (Evagrius) also said, 'A monk was told that his father had died. He said to the messenger, 'Do not blaspheme. My Father cannot die.'"
- Abbot Pastor, "If someone does evil to you, you should do good to him, so that by your good work you may drive out his malice."
- An Elder, "A man who keeps death before his eyes will at all times overcome his cowardliness."
- Blessed Macarius said, "This is the truth, if a monk regards contempt as praise, poverty as riches, and hunger as a feast, he will never die."
- "It happened that as Abba Arsenius was sitting in his cell that he was harassed by demons. His servants, on their return, stood outside his cell and heard him praying to God in these words, 'O God, do not leave me. I have done nothing good in your sight, but according to your goodness, let me now make a beginning of good.'"
- When one desert father told another of his plans to " shut himself into his cell and refuse the face of men, that he might perfect himself," the second monk replied, " Unless thou first amend thy life going to and fro amongst men, thou shall not avail to amend it dwelling alone."

All-American football finish for Kevin Olsen
Olsen, who helped Wayne Hills win state championships to cap his sophomore and junior seasons, suffered a broken bone in his right foot during the third quarter of the Patriots' season-opening win against Northern Highlands on Sept. 7.
The injury required surgery Sept. 17 in Charlotte, N.C., and Olsen missed seven games.
He returned for Wayne Hills' final regular-season game against Paramus, before the Patriots lost to Pascack Valley, 20-11, in the North 1, Group 4 semifinals.
That road defeat prevented Wayne Hills from reaching a sectional final for just the second time in 16 seasons.
"Justin [DeGroat] came in and did a great job for us," Kevin Olsen said, referencing Wayne Hills' backup quarterback.
"He got us to the playoffs, but when I came back everything wasn't clicking like it was in the preseason and we came up a little bit short."
That disappointment is what makes playing in one final high school game more meaningful.
"I feel a lot better," Olsen said. "My foot was sore and my leg was sore at the end of the season. It wasn't hurt, like when I broke my foot, but my whole foot was sore and I would get tired easy.
"But now it's strong and kind of back to the way it was. If I wasn't good enough to play, I wouldn't play. I'm definitely ready for this."

Zero RH + Stretch Control Bib Short - Women's $0.00
Your own tiny support group.
Weather isn't always your worst enemy. On long rides, constant road vibration can fatigue even the best-conditioned riders. Over the past few years, bike apparel companies have developed different systems to battle this vibration and give your muscles the support that they need to work more efficiently for long periods of time. While we have used many of these systems, and find some of them to be very beneficial on long rides, the Zero RH+ Stretch Control System stands out from the rest because of its innovative design that gives Zero RH+ the ability to locate varied amounts of muscle support in precise areas of the short.The Stretch Control System is used on, among other products, the Women's Stretch Control Bib short.
The Stretch Control Bib Short is made with Zero RH+'s Firedry Gold 100 fabric. This moisture-wicking, breathable fabric keeps you dry and comfortable during hot summer rides. Firedry is offered in four different weights–Gold 100 being the lightest. It's also abrasion- and wear-resistant, and provides exceptional aerodynamics.
Stretch control is an innovative system of appliques that add tension in strategic areas of the short. Because these areas of added tension are simply printed onto the short, Zero RH+ can control exactly how much tension is added, and can provide precise support where you need it. On the other hand, areas without the appliques offer the greatest freedom of motion.
Because the overall comfort of a pair of bib tights cannot exceed the quality of the chamois that they contain, the Stretch Control Bib Short features the exclusive Uranus chamois. This hand-sewn insert features high-density foam that evenly distributes pressure as you move in the saddle. We also want to point out that Zero RH + constructs the Stretch Control Bib Short on a curve. This ensures that the Uranus conforms to the body's shape in a cycling position.
Gradual Fit straps secure a proper anatomic fit. Also, the inserts on the back and lumbar regions have been made from a breathable mesh that keeps you from overheating. Flatlock seams through the shorts reduce chafing and irritation. Reflective elements on the rear make you more visible in traffic to make your ride home safer.
The Zero RH + Women's Stretch Control Bib Short is available in the colors Black and White/Black and in sizes X-Small to X-Large.

Jim Barry purchased the Lodge Hill vineyard in 1977 and devoted all but a small parcel to Riesling. That small area of Shiraz produced an outstanding wine from the 2001 vintage, earning the badge of Lodge Hill for this single-vineyard bottling. The 2002 vintage now raises the bar.
Jim Barry Lodge Hill Shiraz is 100% Shiraz, deep red in color with purple hues. It is medium-full in body with moderate acidity and soft, ripe tannins. This bold red offers rich aromas and flavors of dark cherry plum, black cherry, pepper, leather, vanilla, spice and mint. Aged in French and American oak, 29% new, it is nicely balanced to enjoy now and over the next 7-8 years. Rich flavors linger on the finish.
Enjoy Jim Barry Lodge Hill Shiraz with steak, roasted duck, burgers, pastas, grilled chicken and cheeses.
From the heart of South Australia, Jim Barry was a legendary and beloved Clare Valley identity. Since 1959, Jim Barry Wines reflect the Barry family's commitment to making table wines with an emphasis on quality and enjoyment. Jim Barry's philosophy of winemaking was very simple: own the vineyards to develop the best fruit flavors possible and retain these flavors during winemaking. The rich, full-bodied Jim Barry wines distinctly embody this simple winemaking philosophy.
Known for its Rieslings, all in screw cap since the year 2000, the wines of Clare Valley are distinctive. The Riesling here is dry, dry, dry. Delicate yet firm, these wines won't remind you of Germany or Alsace - they have a flavor all their own. The lime flavors and zesty acidity make the wine perfect for summer sipping or pacific rim food (aka, seafood). Notable Facts Since...Read More About Clare Valley

The home base of Syrah is the Northern Rhone, where it creates the exclusive wines of Hermitage and Cote Rotie. On the less pricy side, the Rhone makes Syrah-based wines in Crozes...Read More About Syrah/Shiraz

The bar is expecting over 140 people on Thursday.
Owner Bob Roe said it is an exciting time for the college, and he is looking forward to being apart of it.
"I'm an old timer, I look back to 1956 when Morningside won the North Central Conference and this is probably the most excited thing since."
On Thursday, the bar will be having a $2.00 dollar bratwurst special as well as many drink specials for the game.

Aquinas Wins Series with Junior Blues |
School Age - Boys |
In what seemed like déjà-vu, the St. Thomas Aquinas Saints defeated their cross-border rivals the Kansas City Junior Blues 19-7 to take the season series 2-1 in a repeat scenario of 2011. The Junior Blues, riding high on their recent success, found themselves down 7-Nill at the half. The Saints coach and former USA prop Tim Kluempers summed it up best," I thought the boys played with a lot of heart and took advantage of the opportunities we created. Our defense in the first half was outstanding to keep them out of the try-zone despite having them camped in our end for over 12-minutes." The second half saw the teams exchange converted Trys. The Blues attacked the Saints with tight pack play while the Saints countered with sure tackling, ball handling and speed. The Saints sealed the victory with a late Try. Kluempers continued, "It was fun to measure ourselves against a great team like the Jr. Blues. Especially after they went to Denver the week before and beat a tough Glendale Side and then defeated the current 2nd ranked Colorado Springs U19 squad. Our boys are working hard to fine tune a few things in preparation for the very talented teams that we will play at Nationals. |

The Smart, Fast And Easy Way To Get Out Of Debt
Protect Yourself From Creditors And Rebuild Your Credit
Your Bill Problems Don't Call For A Cookie-Cutter Solution.
Everyone Wants A Piece Of You.
When you've got bill problems, everyone's got their hands in your pockets. The debt consolidation folks want you to take their solution, debt settlement outfits promise you the moon and the stars, and bankruptcy lawyers think filing for bankruptcy is the cure-all.
Everyone is bad-mouthing everyone else, and there's no way of knowing which option is best for you.
If you are lucky enough to figure out a solution that works for you, there's no way of knowing who to trust with your financial future. Every bankruptcy attorney in Los Angeles will tell you how great they are, and every lawyer who helps with student loan problems will tout their experience over all others.
You Need To Know Your Options.
We know you're smart enough to make your own decision once you've been given information and shown how it will affect you.
If someone breaks it down to pros and cons, you can figure out whether bankruptcy is going to work for you or if some other solution is more appropriate.
That's why we're going to take the time to understand your problem. We'll talk about your goals, then we'll put together a plan to help you make things better.
Even if your best option is something we don't do, we'll still tell you about it.
We'll Do Our Very Best Work For You.
Whether we're helping you resolve your student loan problems, acting as your bankruptcy lawyers, or fighting your debt collectors, we'll work hard to make the process as easy and painless as possible.
You'll be in constant contact with a real, live lawyer.
Your calls will always be returned.
Your emails will never be ignored.
We'll always work with you to craft a legal fee that makes sense for your budget – and a payment plan that softens the blow.
And if for any reason you're dissatisfied with the quality of representation we provide, we'll make it right by you.

New Project:
The hood has to be filled with a black interior to keep light from entering and the neck and back parts of it will be put on a pvc base to keep the form and snug fit at all times... and then some crate load of weathering...
I love the hood, this is amazing. I'm looking forward to see a complete costume.
ever since i played the first game ive wanted to do this costume, thats cool someone on here is actually doing it, good luck
Here\s the hood, padded and all. It sits as it sits, hardly changing shape, like an animated piece of cloth, pretty rigid.
Also, theres no light shinning through it from above or the back, so it\ s pretty dark around my face in regular daylight.
RBF, what kind of fabric are you using for that hood?
I don't know really. It's a very structured linnen/cotton blend. Works like a charm. I did had to patch all the cutting lines as it ravels pretty easily when just cut.
weathered it, This is my final Go-sign, I think i can do this without looking like a goofball...
they are making some real cool looking replicas now of the weapons and some of the suit
Looks great as I said before
well here\ s the tunic:
Things to be done: The hood has to be leveled out so it is straight at the front, also add some equal weathering to boths sides. The bird beak of the hood has to point more to the front.
The red sash and grey girls shirt are there to just... help framing what this is supposed to become... so that will eventually be replaced by the parts that they should be...
well here it is:
Also, the symbols in the publicity shots show alot more detail... yet in the game you can't make out more then just a few random black blurs. So I thought the first4figures statue was the road to go...
The beak is pointing forward now:
And this is the little secret behind it:
A piece of PVC with some velcro on it is holding it in shape perfectly.
Great idea RBF! I like your build so far!
PS: Nice xmas tree! :-)
I really like this carracter... Great work with the costume
Thnx guys!! I appreciate it!!
The work has been slowed down as I am now working in my new house.
We want to move in their at the end of january, so progress on this costume will be delayed atleast untill after that.
Yeah, got some work done!!
The dagger... made out of wood and pvc piping:
one for scaling..
that hidden blade is going to be MEAN!
Not much, but a little update!!
Can´t see the new picture bro ... something wrong? Great costume BTW!!!
Looking great! cant wait to see the final result!
Ya got pm
I don't know is you were planning on making the hidden blade but I was stumbling around on the internet the other month and I found these
They are the 3 stages of that specific design. Hope you like em.
Thnx people!! Dunno why the pic doesn' t show... It's clear here.
Anyways, thnx for the heads up, but I' ve got an idea for the hidden blade... not as spring loaded, but it' ll pop in and out of it's holder with a bit of luck.
The designs I found aren't exactly *spring loaded* but it uses a clock spring. But I'm sure your way will work just as well (do you mean grav/inirtia? I would recomend something that doesn't pop out when you don't want it too *scoff* clock spring *scoff*
Thanks to a tutorial on youtube, check my clip to go to his channel!! I had to modify it a wee bit though, as the rail wasn' t the same, and I used a pvc blade that still has to be sanded and painted and bladiebla. This is just the bare skeleton, so it needs a hull of some sort, that can be decorated.
a small clip:
I know that tutorital!! lol!
Nice work man, and the dagger looks fantastic!
wait, is that the bfx hidden gun thingy. (yes I am specific )
erh... no, it's a guidance system for a drawer, sawed, bolted and sprinloaded after quite a bit of work.
Thanks for the great comments guys, that really fills this thread with great messages.
Please keep it a little eh... normal.
the blade itself needs some extra paint and probably some blood painted on it.
You nailed it! Looks very good. Could you make a picture of you wielding it?
No sorry, I donnot have the gauntlet ready yet. I' ll be working on that the follow 2 weeks or something. Once the gauntlet is finished I' ll put a clip on youtube or something!!
Thnx again!!
Whoa.. that looks sweet.
Well, like everyone before me has said, that's fantastic work, bro. Absolutely outstanding.
Just the base gaunt. The detailed armor pieces have to go over these parts.
Also, the blade can be extended further, but I donnot have put on the definitive string or the ring that should go on it.
You even cut off your finger! This must mean a lot to you
Looks great so far!
My Ezio is progressing as well
Ok, having recently finished this game and loving it, I am pretty tickled to see someone working on this! Looking forward to seeing more progress.
Thnx people!!
I have to admit, that in terms of costuming it's not something I've never done before. But life is extraordinarily busy at his point and it's gonna get way much busier in the upcoming year. So it's nice to work on something that is... fun to do. Even though it's not ground-breaking or anything. It has loads of pockets, leather works, weapons and it leaves room for some nice action poses for pics... Sounds fun to me
Looks fantastic! I really like the solution for the hood as you nailed the look!
That means alot!! It was much work to get it to look this way, with a lot of sewing and cheating on techniques... but it worked!!
Thanks again!!
I finished the gauntlet, the end bit of this clip shows the thing as it is now:
Not much progress, though I have begun to work on the red sash that is behind the waist belt itself. It's taking forever to complete this thing...
Perhaps not the first choice of material when thinking about a leather part, but I think it' ll be fine once I' m done detailing it and painting it.
painted and stuff:
I' ve done the waist belt and the sash, came out ok
By far... one of the best AC costumes I've seen! Nicely done! Looking forward to the final.
This looks great so far! love the wrist blade.
Thanks guys!!!
@forcebewithya: I realised this... a while ago, but I think we have up to 3 or 4 costumes now of the same characters...
It' s not on-purpose, I hope you donnot mind... for one thing I have to admit you have great taste!!! :P
lol that's fine by me I actually really enjoy seeing other people's take on costumes I've done. I scour the internet looking for new AC cosplays lately when I'm bored. But yeah yours does look cool. Which ones do we have all in common I know Link, Fett, Altair...any others?
I meant to ask you something though. One thing I LOVE about your costumes is how your metal bits always look a bit rusty what method do you use to give it that effect. I usually weather my costumes but usually with darker black colors.
Ha ha ha, yeah those 3, that about sums it up... but for me that's about my entire costume gallery :P ' cept for Snake
Thanks for the compliment!!! That means alot coming from someone who has done the same projects with an incredible amount of time and detail build into them.
My weathering usually consists of very bright colors, like red, blue and bright brown.
I spray or rub those over the allready painted part. After that I might add washes in the same color, or the one of the base color.
Once that is done I tone down the whole thing with an antracite, black or grey matt primer... depending on what color the part needs to be. So metal parts some times recieve a final silver or grey primer coat, after the weathering layers.
I hope that helps a bit? That's the way I do most of my parts anyways.
I absolutely adore the Altair threads. I have been contemplating tackling them, but just never get around to it.
Chest symbol is bogus, just something to hold everything in place.
Need to do more knives, boots, symbols for the scabbard, the right arm bracer and ofcourse the trousers and sweater for underneath it all...
It's almost complete now....
A little make-up test, has to be perfected, but it's a first try.
The scar is to prominent but might make it stand out more at a convention.
I' ll test some more:
I' m all done now, I' ll wear this costume upcoming weekend at an event.
Excellent work my friend. Attention to detail is amazing.
I know it's jumping the gun a bit but after your finished up with this do you think you might have a go at Ezio? I would love to see that.
Thank you! I appreciate it!!
Well... Time is gonna be the main thing. I initially chose for Altair because I like the character more.
Who knows, I might one day.
Great job.
Love the costume.
Thanks, that is great to hear!!!
It' s done!!!
Had a blast at F.A.C.T.S. 2010 in belgium last weekend, it was absolutly great!!!
i've got a couple of questions. 1 - when you extend the wrist blade does it lock into the extended position? and 2 - does it hamper your ability to pull those daggers out?
it's a great costume man, you really look like you walked right out of the video game, but with better graphics, lol!
ha ha, thanks!!
No the knife extends for as long as I stretch my hand. When I make a fist the knife jumps back in.
This is actually... simple to make and it does the trick for the audience... It's like tapping "up" in the game... the knife shoots out and is almost immediatly withdrawn. It just works. I might figure a way out with a lock pin that keeps it extracted but... well the reactions to the way it popped out now were quite litterly open jaws of awesomeness... I was amazed byt hat actually....
My throwing knives are not withdrawable at all. I didn' t want them to be, in order to prevent trouble with law enforcement.
The sword and dagger are withdrawable, though held firmly in place.
What make up techniques did you use for the scar? I havent tried to do a scar yet because I couldnt decide on the best way to do it. I have a bunch of stage make up maybe I should just play around with it.
I used skin glue and then dip in a wee bit of liquid latex along the scar. Make sure the glue area is wider then the scar or the sides will let go. Once it dries add more skin glue over the whole thing and dip another round of latex over it.
then make-up your entire facve to finish it.
Here's a better look:
ah ok, I dont have any skin glue in my makeup kit that I know of unless that's the same as spirit gum? Looks really good with the make up too. I wear make up in my Link costumes but I havent done so in my Assassin's Creed stuff because I worry about it getting on the hood and covering up my already light facial hair. You have the perfect stache for Altair though I gotta say!
Thanks man!!!
But I gotta say, I color my facial hair... :P I'm blond/red, so it is pretty light aswell. Rubbing it with make-up really helps in accentuating it enough.
The lenses + darker skin color + scar really does finish the look.
Here's something else... little difficult to take with me to cons but still... makes for cool pics!! :P
It was getting dark, so it is not entirly sharp... but still, I liked it!!!
More soon!!
Nice! I have yet to get Horse pictures, I did get some camel ones with Altair though . Well that's encouraging to know that you have blonde/red facial hair because I do too it's like blonde, red and black all mixed together lol. I gotta grow it out for the brotherhood Ezio costume too.
I'm looking forward to that one!!!!
Test a bit out with the face paint and stuff. Get a ref pic and start putting it on, it really finishes the look!!!
When I put my hood on a wear a bandana/baclava to cover my schminked up face. Then when I am suited up, my wife pulls the baclava over my ears. It covers the hood from getting make-up on it and my hair is tucked away inside. Works very well!!
This is by far the best AC costume i have ever seen. good work love the attention to detail.
Sorry to bring up this thread again, but I thought this really should be posted here:
My baby girl is 6 months now. Since I have trooped in Altair for the release of Brotherhood here in A'dam, I have had a degree of contact with ubisoft.
When they learned me and my wife had a little girl, they send over this jumper that said:
Assassin's Creed Revelations: The baby assassin's edition.
That and a note congratulating us. Ubisoft (Leon), you are the best!!!!
Here's the pics:
Also, I've made a film clip that you might like of Altair and a horse:
here's the link:
Assassin's Creed - Altair and Reportero.wmv - YouTube
If you're still answering questions for this, could you tell me what material this is? (For the Belt)
I didn't realize how old this thread was but **** good costume. I finally beat Revelations yesterday and was toying about an Altair costume. It's so simple, yet judging from your WIP, so intricate.
this is just gobsmackingly AWESOME!
Altair is my favourite assassin out of all of them but with AC3 coming out soon I'm looking into doing an Aveline De Grandpre costume. if anyone is mightily interested i'll post up some pics once i'm done
Brilliant Costume!
you can pass me the blue prints, planes or the pattern of the hood?

The rangemin package
Rapidly (in linear time) preprocesses a vector so that the minimum element of any given subrange can be looked up in constant time.
This implementation is based on an algorithm of Fischer and Heun, which can be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11780441_5. Despite being written entirely in Haskell (and maintaining referential transparency internally), it is competitive against the C++ implementation written by Fischer and Heun themselves (included in the tarball), especially when compiled with LLVM.
Depending on the target system, this library compiled with -fasm approximately ties with the original authors' C++ implementation compiled with -O3 -funroll-loops. With -fllvm -optlc-O3, this library has been observed to beat the same C++ implementation by 20-30%.
Internally, this library rolls its own stream fusion system, avoiding the vector package's issues with duplicated index variables and providing a few other special features. This package's API does, however, fuse (to the extent possible) with input vectors using the vector package fusion system. In particular, it automagically recognizes input vectors whose element types have a natural order-preserving injection into Int, converts them, and uses the specialized range-min implementation for Int vectors. See Data.RangeMin for more details.

Board hires financial consultant
The county Board meeting on January 15 opened with five appointments on topics ranging from youth intervention to the way the coroner surrenders bodies to local funeral homes.
Housing director Mardis Jones first presented information he had gathered on the cost of building a three bedroom, two bath house for a local family. That family was approved for a $25,000 housing rehab grant, Jones had said at a prior meeting, but the grant is not sufficient to cover the extensive repairs needed for the home. Supervisors have also considering purchasing a mobile or modular home for the family instead of building.
Local History: Building the world's greatest military machine
During World War II, The Tunica Times was filled with stories of brave deeds of servicemen overseas and of support at home.
H.C. Webb set out to raise $10,000 for war related agencies, while PFC Robert G. Hubbard of Maud was killed in action, and PFC Richard Watson was in a hospital "somewhere in France." Mary Rita Dulaney enlisted in the Waves, while Justus Lake "recuperated from wartime injuries."
Church begins to rebuild after storm
Help is on the way for a Tunica County church that was literally blown apart in tornadic winds the weekend after Christmas.
Pastor Robert Lenair of New Stranger's Rest Baptist Church said this week that most of the demolition of the church's sanctuary is complete, with a bit more left to do.
"The sanctuary was totally destroyed, and there was 65 percent damage to the Fellowship Hall," he explained.

Issues for Catholic Voters (2012 edition) – Religious Liberty
"This Vatican Council declares that the human person has a right to religious freedom. This freedom means that . . . no one is to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his own beliefs, whether privately or publicly, whether alone or in association with others, within due limits" (Dignitatis Humanae, 2).
As created by God, human beings have an intrinsic dignity. The natural desire to hold religious beliefs and to practice forms of religious worship are expressions of that dignity and must be considered a fundamental human right.
Since religious beliefs around the world are not uniform, the right to religious belief and practice posits a corresponding duty of respect for religious liberty. This duty of respect requires tolerance for different religious viewpoints and an appreciation for religious pluralism.
The state must guard the religious liberty of all faith traditions, both in law and public policy. This protection is spelled out in the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
It's essential to note that this amendment in no way prohibits the freedom of religious expression, but it forbids the United States from designating one faith tradition as an official religion.
Protection of the common good, however, can take precedence over an individual's right to religious expression. Therefore, religious liberty does not protect those who promote violent demonstrations of faith or call people to commit violent acts.
The impact of the First Amendment, properly understood, protects freedom of religious expression and protects people of faith against those who would impose their secular beliefs on others. But, sadly, this has not been the case. During the past 35 years, government authorities have implicitly established secularism as an official state religion.
Secularism has taken many forms: the removal of voluntary religious instruction in public schools; the banning of voluntary private prayer in public schools; employment discrimination against those who openly practice their faith; the promotion of an atheist "ethos"; and mandatory contraceptive coverage in health plans. "It is therefore difficult . . . to accept a position that gives only atheism the right of citizenship in public and social life, while believers are, as though by principle, barely tolerated or are treated as second-class citizens" (Redemptor Hominis, 17).
The greatest threat to religious liberty at present is the adoption of same-sex marriage laws in six states, the latest being New York. Although same-sex marriage legislation contains exemptions for church institutions from civil suits for refusing to perform same-sex marriages, there is no guarantee how these exemptions will survive judicial review. Church institutions can also be punished by loss of government contracts for social services. San Francisco revoked $3.5 million in social services contracts from the Salvation Army when it refused, for religious reasons, to provide benefits to its employees' same-sex partners.
The issue that most people have long identified with religious liberty—the display of religious symbols—is the easiest to resolve. Allowing the display of religious symbols does not constitute the "establishment" of a state religion but rather the history of our nation. The founding of America was rooted in Judeo-Christian teachings incorporated into our legal system and the document of our democratic charter.
The importance of religion to the development of our nation can be seen in the development of our education and health care systems. For the first 125 years of the American experience, our citizens and our government relied upon the money and work invested by faith-based organizations in education and health care. But in recent years, government funds for both education and health care have made secular demands on the religious institutions. This is discriminatory and a clear violation of religious liberty.
Secular and faith-based organizations should play on a level playing field in competing for government funds. Faith-based organizations that accept government funding must not be forced to sacrifice their religious liberties. For example, a Catholic hospital that receives a government grant should not be required to provide contraception and abortion services.
- The desire for religious belief and practice is natural to the human person who is created in the "image and likeness" of God.
- Religious liberty, therefore, is a fundamental human right rooted in the dignity of the human person and must be protected by law and public policy.
- The First Amendment protects religious expression and also protects people of faith from the enforced secularism of public institutions.
- Public display of religious symbols from the Judeo-Christian tradition do not establish a religion but rather express the historical development of our nation and its culture.

Duane syndrome type 2
Other Names for this Disease
- Duane retraction syndrome 2
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
Duane syndrome is a disorder of eye movement. This condition prevents outward movement of the eye (toward the ear), and in some cases may also limit inward eye movement (toward the nose). As the eye moves inward, the eyelids partially close and the eyeball pulls back (retracts) into its socket. Usually only one eye is affected. Some people with Duane syndrome develop amblyopia ("lazy eye"), a condition that causes vision loss in the affected eye. Most cases occur without other signs and symptoms. There are three forms of Duane syndrome, designated types 1, 2, and 3. The types vary in which eye movements are most severely restricted (inward, outward, or both). All three types are characterized by retraction of the eyeball as the eye moves inward and are inherited in an

I really wish InterCon Manila will upgrade their rooms. The carpet in my room was uneven and the chair was broken. The entire room looks very old and tiring. it is hard to appreciate the InterCon brand after a long day at work and returning to this room.
As usual, the club lounge staffs and services continue to be high quality. Yna and Ann always goes out their way to provide world-class services. Keep it up!

My company booked me into this hotel for a 4 night stay.
After being picked up at the airport by the hotel car I was informed on arrival, (0:15am) that they did not have a room for me.
No excuse was given other than an emergency had occured.
I was offered another hotel , 20 minutes drive away, which was 50 minutes the next morning due to traffic.
I returned back to the hotel in the morning to be given assurances that I would receive the best service, my question should they not give the best service to everyone!
I still have not received an adequate excuse why a room was not available.

The Intercontinental Manila sets a high benchmark for guest comfort and service that is not easily found in other local hotels. I'd say the main clients are business people so it very much geared toward the business traveller. The staff are always exceedingly helpful and polite. The hotel are generous in applying Membership benefits to a range of in house services and amenities. To was lucky to receive an upgrade to a huge suite and it made my year after being on the road the whole week before and staying in remote hotels with cold showers and basic facilities. Stepping into such comfort and luxury was appreciated beyond measre. The food is consistently great. Will be back before I leave the Philippines. Thank you!
