Thanks to an expanding program in Arabic studies at Smith and the Five Colleges, learning the dominant language of the Middle East is more than memorizing a new alphabet and studying verb tenses.
Home > Admission > For Transfer Students
Are you still looking for the right college experience? Do you still search for a college environment that will give you academic challenge, comfortable residential housing and plenty of contact with your professors and fellow students? Then consider joining the Smith College community.
Each year, more than one hundred transfer students enter Smith. While many colleges and universities consider transfer applicants only after the first-year class is selected, Smith reserves a number of places especially for transfers because we believe they enrich our community. Every January some 20 to 30 transfer students arrive at Smith while another 80 join our classes each September. They come after having completed at least one semester at any of a variety of institutions, including four-year private and public colleges and universities, community and junior colleges, and international institutions.
Although every transfer student has her own reasons for leaving one school for another, students who transfer to Smith have much in common: an interest in academic excellence, strong motivation and self-discipline, an adventurous spirit, promising secondary school records and solid college records in liberal arts courses. Once they're here, transfers tend to develop another bond: a high level of satisfaction with their experience at Smith College.
Check out our students' blog, Smith by Smithies.
Open Campus for admitted students will be held on April 16-17. Regisration will begin in late March.

Border Security in Ghana: Challenges and Prospects"This paper has therefore examined the dynamics as it pertains to Ghana and has identified among others that the institutional challenges centre around lack of modern border infrastructure and facilities, capacity building of the agents directly involved in border security and those that lend support to apprehend and deal with suspects. Lack of public knowledge on border issues also compounds the problem. Regarding the drawbacks, the paper has suggested that the states commitment to ensuring effective border security must go beyond legislation and be exhibited in the provision of border infrastructure. Other actors involved in the security issues at the borders are also to contribute their quota to enhance the state of security at the borders." |

This past week.... after running CGE hundreds of times in the past, getting the optional with ease... taking out Armek in seconds (sometimes with four of us, or even just hanging back and dancing whilst fellow fleet members solo him
Well, it's all gone wrong. The jumping Borg, ok, they can be dealt with... but here's a short list of new problems:
1) turrets unable to be blown up or taking several attempts even when the activation has completed
2) the turrets themselves are moving away from their respective places i.e. actually sliding away from their positions!
3) The problem with AoE (pulsewaves)
4) Another activation issue, relating to freeing the captives and grabbing the samples (having to press repeatedly to get the bloody thing to activate)
5) Armek.... what the hell has happened to him to make him so bloody annoying? Pulsewave / medic tank / snipers - whatever method - I've been on very experienced teams and we've been getting one-shotted straight out of the gate and in some cases, I've had people give up completely and leave
I came to love Cure Ground Elite, my favourite STF due to its setting, the content and the fun of fighting Armek.
This past week...
single attempt I've had has failed due to people leaving, frustration, being unable to continue (due to the turrets not activating)... I just.... I dunno....
I'm sure people are gonna tell me how they've done it fine etc. but I don't know what to say. I rarely post on here but this is starting to make me look a little foolish in front of other people, both in-fleet and in-game and I'm just throwing this out in the hope that I'm not alone in experiencing these problems.

When time permits, could you do another video of the strut doors working, too?
The PIPE here again - it's been some time since I wrote you, but I'm still unemployed...but, perhaps with what I'm taking for a seminar course with a local, non-profit job search assistance organization over here in eastern Massachusetts, I could be closer to getting a job that I might have been thinking, as that group supposedly has a very good local track record, and I'm going to be putting in some serious MS Word time with my resumes (one each for business office work, CAD/drafting and electronic manufacturing) to get them revised over the next few weeks, for a fair bit more "impact" when I apply for a job. Great to hear that along with all that VERY detailed cockpit work (still looking nice as always) that you've finally had the time to be able to get the STRUT doors working as well...I remember how nicely you've had the maingear's wheel doors working already on your masterpiece... Junkers Ju 88 Gear Door Test (0 min 35 sec) ...so, when your time permits, I'm hoping that you'll be able to let us see the strut doors working along with the wheel doors in a nice "symphony of movement" with a video of the whole deal working together. And, of course, you're "half-way there" with the operating strut doors...I'd bet that the tough part was figuring the exact way you'd be getting the strut doors working, and now that the "port" or left side main gear's quartet of doors are all set up, the "starboard" or right side set could simply be a mirror image of what you've already figured out. Keep up the great work... Yours Sincerely, The PIPE....!! |

Now THAT is literally "miniature aircraft" building...
Dear Ilkka:
The PIPE Here again - this Sunday evening over here, one of your countrymen will be defending the goal for my favorite sports team against their hated rivals from MONTREAL...it's bound to be a great match ! When someone is able to not just "build", but CRAFT up a great-working set of retracts - and a symphony of magnificent MOVEMENT for each gear strut's set of DOORS (two quartets in all) results from all that great CRAFTsmanship - that's definitely getting into "miniature aircraft" creation, which usually takes a fair bit more care and skill that an average RC sports/trainer aircraft usually needs. My preference for World War I-era and Golden Age RC Scale subject aircraft won't usually need quite that degree of craftsmanship, but where I DO like to use the scale aircraft structural layout in every case that's possible to do them (made much easier with decent scale drawings, computer technology and CAD software!!!), and do things like crafting up functional shock-absorbing LG struts, scale exhaust systems that actually take a four-stroke model engine's exhaust gases out through them, fully functioning cable control hookups to the control surfaces and other such "bits of realism" on various parts of the model, that only makes me more determined to get back to WORK again, so I can get back to building and flying RC aircraft once more. Even though I'm not the CL-flying type, the similar "symphony" of interactive MOVEMENT between a control line precision aerobatics model and its pilot on the CL handle, at the center of a CL flight circle is like a "ballet" all on its own that I love to watch, and if the model is an electric-power or four-stroke engined CL aerobatic model, that's even better to watch for the pure enjoyment of it. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, Ilkka... Yours Sincerely, The PIPE....!! |

More poetry in motion.
As I was worried how the gear and doors work at speed I attached one wing on my car and tested the gear at 80 km/h (50 MPH). A redneck wind tunnel. The beeps are low battery warning. I think I just invented a safe way to fly an RC model.

Reviewing My Final Steelers 53 Man Roster Projection Of 2012
By Dave Bryan on September 2, 2012 at 9:08 am@SteelersDepotIt is time to review my final 53 man roster projection for the Pittsburgh Steelers from this year, and although I had 50 of 53 names correct, I get a failing grade because the goal is to hit all 53.
On offense I nailed 24 of 25 players and I could kick myself for not reading the tea leaves correctly in regard to Trai Essex and Kelvin Beachum. The move to keep Beachum, and not Essex, makes good sense because Beachum plays on the left side and Essex played all at right tackle. I knew Essex would never be considered for the left side of the line, and once Ramon Foster proved he could play right tackle during the preseason, and we knew David DeCastro would stick initially on the 53 to qualify for the 8 week injured reserve, Beachum was the right call. When you consider that Essex, if kept, would have most likely been a week one inactive player, it made no sense to keep him and guarantee his full base salary. It\'s easy to say you understand the decision after the fact, but I really do, and should have thought that decision through better. Live and learn.
I am glad that I saw the 5 running backs, 4 wide receivers, 1 fullback and 3 tight ends coming, but it was a no-brainer to me after studying the personnel groupings of Todd Haley and how much both Baron Batch and David Paulson were used in the preseason on special teams.
On defense, I picked Al Woods as the winner of the 4th defensive end spot, but only because Corbin Bryant had practice squad eligibility left. In the end, Bryant wasn\'t even signed to the practice squad. I wish I could tell you that Woods outplayed Bryant, but really I saw it as a dead heat.
My decision to keep Terrence Frederick was a foolish one and I probably would have only have kept four cornerbacks had I not been scared off by the knee injury that Curtis Brown reportedly suffered in the final preseason game, just hours before I turned in my final projection. Even if they had kept five, it appears that they liked Josh Victorian, as he was signed to the practice squad, so I would have missed this one anyways.
Adrian Robinson, who I have been high on since the OTA practices, I had slated for the practice squad because of his position. I figured that James Harrison and Jason Worilds would both be healthy enough to play in Denver, and even though Stevenson Sylvester would be down, and Sean Spence was lost for the season, I thought they would have went 8 linebackers until Tuesday, when they might move DeCastro to injured reserve. Had I put a ninth linebacker here, it would have been Marshall McFadden because he plays inside, a position the Steelers got thin at when Spence was lost for the season and with Sylvester likely down for the opener. It had nothing to do with not liking Robinson, it was just how I saw the numbers falling.
I knew they would keep 5 safeties and I chose Damon Cromartie-Smith over Robert Golden because of his experience in the defense and his play on special teams. I like Golden, and have for a while, but did not give him enough credit to also play cornerback in a pinch should the need arise. Golden is a fine prospect and I can see him possibly being the heir apparent to Ryan Clark. Another thing that I chose to ignore in my decision is that Cromartie-Smith is a strong safety, while Golden is a free safety. I put too much emphasis on special teams and not enough on the actual position. I study this stuff so much that I sometimes choose to ignore the obvious and tend to over think things.
The specialist were easy to call, especially after Jeremy Kapinos never punted.
Practice squad wise, I got 4 of 8 right, but I should have seen 2 wide receivers being kept with only 4 being kept on the 53. After all, they needed the practice bodies. I was surprised that John Malecki was kept and Bryant wasn\'t. Ryan Lee and McFadden were easy calls in my eyes.
In summation, I do these with the goal of being perfect and it is a healthy exercise to learn roster construction and why certain players are kept over others. 50 out 53 is good, but I really expected to hit at least 52, if not the entire 53.
Oh well, there is always next year and I will try again right after the 2013 draft is over. I hope you enjoyed these exercises as much as I like doing them.

I actually did the same thing with the Roster Prediction I had been working on, checked back in and commented to compare how my results differed from the actual 53-Man Roster and Practice Squad… still waiting for them to post the Captains though, since I was bored and attempted to predict them as well. Mine is on a competing website that allows us lowly people to contribute, but I ended up getting 52 of 53 right… also missed the Beachum for Essex… and 5 of 8 on the PS, but to be fair, some of those are only half right because I only narrowed it down a little… for example, I figured they would keep a 2nd WR, but none of Clemons, Maze, or Beiler stuck out enough for a definitive selection…
- Brendon Glad
I'm just glad u missed on robinson. He and ictorian were the only 2 who looked good enough to not clear waivers. And Victorian did so maybe AR would have too. But glad it didn't come to that because he's shown me more than Worilds or Càrter anytime I've been so blessed as to get to see them actually on the field (since Carter maintained some health this summer). I would also agree that until the Steelers actually put a heavy emphasis on s0ecial teams,then your roster predictions would be better served giving it the same cursory glance that the Steelers normally giv
e it. - SteelSpine
Right-after teams cut down to 53, something happened that I-think revealed why Robinson kept on our 53, insteada practice squad where I-too thought Robinson belongs. Right-after teams cut down to 53, Ravens snatched a clone of our Robinson whom became available by someone hoping to re-sign him. The clone's name is Adrian Hamilton whom is another rookie FA signee "one trick pony" who was a DE in college whom has to transition to OLB in pros, this preseason Hamilton's play was labelled "one trick pony" because good pass rusher in preseason but couldnt do anything else yet. He's even very-similar size to our Robinson. At the time to cut down to 53, the Cryboys released him (Hamiton) hoping to re-sign him to PS. Ravens snatched Hamilton. Note our Robinson wasnt available. If we had exposed Robinson, maybe the Ratbirds or some other team woulda signed him, & it appears Colbert & company heard that.

text: A useful, if not very surprising, analysis. It is clear from this that wages sill lag behind prices, in spite of the strength of the £. Government could, of course change the picture by regulating wages, or by allowing Trade Unions their old freedom, in which case the oversupply of labour would cease to be an issue as far as incomes are concerned.

'47 Brand Men's Oakland Athletics Slugger Green Pullover Hoodie
Not as described!
The material of this sweatshirt is VERY thin - somewhat like a thick shirt and runs much smaller to size. It is stylish but if you are looking for warmth or a true hoodie this isn't a great purchase.

Col de Crozet. Mountain Biking in the Jura Mountains. Map, photos, route description.
First, let me just say that Col d'Evosges was a revelation. It's an amazing climb.…
I find that making myself a map showing all the great climbs in an area is extremely motivating.
Especially since it reminds me all the climbs that I have never done.
A fun day with Philipe and Xavier cycling in the Swiss Jura mountains and watching the Tour de Romandie.
A very steep, deserted forest road in the Swiss Jura mountains.
I am now eligible to become a "member" of the Confrérie des Fêlés (brotherhood of the crackpots) du Grand Colombier.
The goal was to find some new Cols and quiet, scenic roads. Mission accomplished.
At the risk of repeating myself, the Jura mountains are an incredible place for steep, big, beautiful, deserted cycling climbs.
For anyone that has never seen a stage, this gives a pretty good feel of how much fun it is …. especially the Publicity Caravan.

Jewel of the Seas Cruise Review by Dewey1949: Ultimate Panama Jan. 11, 2010

Compare Prices on Jewel of the Seas Panama Canal & Central America Cruises
Ultimate Panama Jan. 11, 2010
We arrived in Miami the day before the cruise sailing date. We were greeted with cold temperatures and strong winds. While having dinner in the restaurant at the Wyndham Airport, a guest at another table asked the waitress to turn the air conditioning down. The waitress replied that the air condition was off, that the problem was there was no heat.
The next morning we met with another cruise-critic member for breakfast then shared a cab to the cruise ship terminal. A baggage handler suggested we leave him a tip to ensure our luggage made it to the vessel and of course we did.
Check-in was speedy and we were on board the vessel around 11:45 AM. We were advised to go to the Windjammer on deck 11 for lunch as we would not have access to our staterooms until 1 PM.
Jewel is a beautiful ship with great facilities. We were provided excellent food and excellent service during our stay. Only one hiccup was the fact that myself and another cruise-critic member in a More
cabin close to ours who signed up for the meet and mingle did not receive invitations thus missing the meeting. Apparently, our invitation were delivered to our staterooms while occupied by departing passengers from the previous voyage and thus we did not make the meeting. Royal Caribbean did provide us with a bag of souvenirs that we would have received, but it would have been nice to have been at the meeting. I take some responsibility as I did not print off information on this site about the meeting however I should have received an invitation.
Departure at Miami was fast. We used the Valet service and did not have to worry about luggage until we arrived in Toronto to clear Canadian Customs then returned it to the airline and it was there when we arrived at our home airport. Less

Cabin review: Jewel of the Seas Large Oceanview Stateroom Deck 3 3076
Cabin was great. It was well maintained and never lacking any supplies. we like an ocean view so we are close to the water.
Port and Shore Excursions
Lots of souvenir shopping available in the terminal.
Although we did not go to the locks, we saw numerous vessels anchored awaiting their chance to enter the canal.
Of ports of call on this cruise this port had the largest facility at the pier to purchase souvenirs. They are all under a large tent at the entrance.

[[WMG:''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' is really ''Assassin's Creed III'' in disguise!]] Why would NolanNorth sign onto a game he would have a bit part in? * {{Money|DearBoy}}. * Plus contract obligations. * He was told he wouldn't be typecast. * Semi-confirmed? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocBU5uRt3k0 This official video]] (jump to about 1:10) tells us that Desmond will appear, but not in what capacity. [[WMG: The multiplayer characters in ''Assassins Creed: Brotherhood'' will appear in the single-player story]] The framing device for the multiplayer is that the player characters are Templars reliving their ancestors life's in order to gain their skills, like Desmond did with Ezio. As the multiplayer also takes place during the Renaissance, it is likely that these Templar ancestors where contemporary with Ezio, and therefore it is possible they may each have a role in the story. The most likely such role is as Templar operative's dispatched to kill Ezio. In particular, the Hunter class is likely to play the role of Ezio's EvilCounterpart, sporting a similar outfit (InTheHood worn with BadassCape) and WeaponOfChoice (the switch-blade, which promotional materials explain is a Templar equivalent to the hidden blade). * I can imagine the Courtesan being a RivalTurnedEvil of the Rome equivalent to Paola and Theodora. She may even be connected to those two. [[spoiler:Maybe she was the one who scarred Paola in a failed... ahem, assassination... attempt?]] * They did appear in the single player campaign. Ezio killed them all. [[WMG: [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 RED and/or BLU]] were part of/taken over by Templars.]] In ''Brotherhood'', one of the abilities your multiplayer character can have is the power to disguise yourself as someone else with amazing speed. Now doesn't that sound like an ability from a certain masked, suit-clad [[MemeticMutation GENTLEMAN]]? Also, another ability, the Sprint Boost, gives a speed boost and swirly trail effects akin to BONK. [[WMG: A closer-to-modern times AC will allow you to hijack a car while you're currently in another one and both are moving.]] In ''Brotherhood'' Ezio can hijack someone else's horse while on one of his own. This is the (il)logical extension. Also, [[RuleOfCool why the hell not?]] [[WMG: If the Prowler is voiced and appears in single player as a boss/target, he will be done by [[VideoGame/{{Prototype}} Barry Pepper]].]] The ultimate ActorAllusion[=/=]TakeThat: My hood-wearing guy is better than yours! * {{Jossed}}: The Prowler doesn't even appear in single player. [[WMG: Lucrezia Borgia will be voiced by Brooke Shields]] Considering that Brooke Shields is actually Lucrezia's descendant, it would make one helluva CastingGag... Or whatever it would count as. [[WMG:Caterina Sforza is an Assassin.]] Hey, it could happen. Did you not see her at Forli?! Perhaps in ''Brotherhood'' she may emerge as one. Funny, an Assassin with a [[ClusterFBomb foul tongue]]. * She's not technically in the Order, but she is a staunch ally of theirs. [[WMG: The CainAndAbel aspect of the story may be an [[InvertedTrope inversion]].]] In the puzzle 'Brothers', Subject 16 notes that the Templars have always tried to put up there own people as the heroes (history is written by the victor after all). Also, in all three of the images of 'Cain killing Abel', Abel is reaching for the Piece of Eden as Cain strikes him down, almost as if Cain is trying to keep Abel from the Apple, just like the Assassin's have been doing to the Templars. And finally, an Assassin is a killer, just like Cain. [[WMG: William, the Assassin sending intel to Shaun and Lucy, is Desmond's father]] The M. at the end of his name stands for Miles. * Holy shit. Bill Miles was a character mentioned in the comic. So, this is very nearly correct. * This Troper agrees with this WMG. He also believes another WMG that is/was here that William was the male voice saying to put Desmond back in the Animus. This WMG is backed up by the fact that both William (or whom I'm assuming is William) and Desmond speak with the exact same accent, indicative of origins in Western New England. * I came across this today: Watch the video at this link (It's about the AC Encyclopedia): http://kotaku.com/5836272/assassins-creed-fans-and-game-writers-team-up-to-build-an-encyclopedia and pause it at 0:57 go to the characters column and read the first name under friends and allies. William M is William Miles. Confirmed, I guess? ** Confirmed as of VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations. [[spoiler: When Desmond wakes up at the very end of the game, the first one to greet him was Bill, calling him "son". Desmond recognized him almost instantly in his disoriented state.]] Barring the hints given by supplementary materials (the emails in the games and the comics), the fact that Bill was very protective over Desmond at the start of Revelations when Shaun implied that Desmond may have been "programmed" like Daniel Cross was was more than enough incentive to put two and two together. [[WMG: When Desmond finally stars in his own AC game, it will be a Prince of Persia-style co-op game with Lucy as his sidekick]] At the beginning of ''Brotherhood'', there's a section with Desmond and Lucy [[spoiler:navigating the underground passages beneath modern-day Monteriggioni to gain access to the Sanctuary.]] This gameplay, with Desmond and Lucy helping each other get through, may very well be foreshadowing to when Desmond stars in his own game, which will be about him traversing the hidden Temples with Lucy a la ''Prince of Persia'', with Lucy taking on the role of Farah/Elika/Whatever. Bonus points, because NolanNorth has ALREADY starred as the Prince in the 2008 game. * [[spoiler:Unfortunately Jossed by the ending where Those Who Came Before force Desmond to kill Lucy for reasons as yet unclear.]] ** [[spoiler:Not completely Jossed. We know that Lucy was stabbed but we don't know if she's dead. However it is doubtful that she'll be up and running and jumping very quickly after an attack like that.]] *** Totally Jossed by Revelations. [[spoiler: Lucy's dead, and a Templar.]] [[WMG: The creators of the game intentionally left a glitch in the game after completing The Truth in ''Brotherhood'']] For those that didn't complete the truth until after the game there's a short scene out of the animus where the group discusses the ramifications. In it nearly everyone's version of Desmond was glitched standing through the Animus. This was intentionally meant for us to question and clue us into the fact that a glitch occurred in the "real world". The development team has been noted for blaming all glitches and bugs in the games on the Animus, why would they leave such a common bug unless it was meant as a plot point? * [[{{Jossed}} I think they've patched it.]] VideoGameTropes do apply outside the Animus now too. There was a loading screen. [[WMG: Subject 16 lives yet.]] Who here has taken the ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' achievement for completing all the glyphs to a morse code translator? I'll tell you. [[spoiler:It says "IAMALIVE"!]] * I figured he managed to [[spoiler:Upload his brain to the animus data, along with the glyphs, and once all of them were solved, he's in Desmond's brain as some sort of SpiritGuide.]] ** Yep. Shown in ''Revelations''. [[WMG: The announcer for ''Brotherhood'' multiplayer is an AU version of [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]].]] Not much real evidence other than sounding vaguely similar, but it sounds cool? * She's the same Animus voice that appears in the first game... ** Still applicable. [[WMG: Desmond had to kill Lucy so he could have a child with someone else.]] Combine the ending of Brotherhood with Subject Sixteen's 'The Truth' and you realize that Desmond is not the important one. His son, who is of Templar descent, is using an improved nearly-glitch-free animus sometime AfterTheEnd. Desmond was falling in love with Lucy and she had to be eliminated so he could find the one. [[WMG: The Sisterhood Cheat is Actually Canon!]] And Ezio ended up sleeping with each female member of the Assassin's order he founded, eventually resulting in multiple Ezio/Altaïr descendant lines! [[WMG:Lucy is Erudito]] She knows the ins and outs of Abstergo, and she's probably in charge of the gang's email network, so she likely would have the passwords to give to Desmond. [[WMG:After Ezio discarded his father's Assassin robe, The Smuggler found it.]] It's sort-of similar in appearance to the robe she wears in Multiplayer (note the neckline, puffy white sleeves and leather cuirass), and her scenes in Project Legacy make her seem like the type of person who wouldn't mind wearing a dirty, 40 year old robe. [[WMG: Cesare Borgia will be resurrected at some point.]] A new Mmemonic set in Project Legacy is based around [[BackFromTheDead The Shroud]]. The components are {{Jesus}}, Brutus (briefly rezzed in another memory), some other guy and Cesare. Factor in Ezio's uncertainty over his last words, and his unwillingness to die in the final boss fight and UbiSoft may as well have outright confirmed this! Unless they're playing with us. ** Actually, the other two components, alongside Cesare and Jesus, are Jacques de Molay and Geoffroi de Charny, but here's the thing: Jacques de Molay was the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, or rather last known Grand Master in the Assassin's Creed universe, and Geoffroi de Charny and his wife are the first recorded owners of the Shroud. Also, as the last Grant Master, there were many legends surrounding Jacques de Molay including a connection to the Shroud. [[WMG:Lucy is a Templar spy.]] She got Animus data to Rebecca while at Abstergo, can get into Abstergo's mainframes easily enough after leaving, encountered very little resistance while escaping, and later in the game, if you talk to Lucy and then go outside, she is standing right where the red footprints leading to the vila end. [[spoiler:That is why she was stabbed at the end of the game.]] ** [[spoiler: Confirmed in the DLC for Revelations.]] [[WMG: The Apple can store consciousness]] We already know that Altaïr looked into the Apple to see about preserving his mind as he approached death... but it could be possible that the Apple itself would serve as the vessel. In ''Brotherhood'', Ezio becomes a lot more cold and controlled. He's still a bit of a Lad, as he always was, but he comes off as being a lot more calm and calculating, and a lot less concerned with having his fun and charging into a fight. This could be down to his age, his weariness at the neverending war against the Templars or the wisdom he gained over the years, but this change in him comes about right after he first uses the Apple against Rodrigo Borgia. It could be that upon using the Apple, Altaïr's mind entered Ezio's body, either taking over him completely or merging itself with his without his knowledge. This would have brought about the change we see in Ezio - either he absorbed Altaïr's mind or got taken over completely. If the former is true, then Ezio could have adopted many of Altaïr's personality traits, resulting in his quieter, more patient temprament. If the latter is true, then Altaïr may have retained Ezio's memories or experienced a similar effect on his personality. With Ezio's memories he could convincingly pass it off as if nothing had changed, and his warmer, more personable character could have been either from maintaining his cover or from picking up Ezio's traits. It may also be possible that a combination of the two men now exists within Ezio's body, perfectly aware of what has happened. Whatever the case, it may have been that Ezio placed the Apple within the vault beneath the Colloseum and left the writing on the wall of the sanctuary passage in order to ensure that Desmond could find it. While he could have placed it there simply to ensure that it could be used to prevent the end of the world (Ezio could have consulted the Apple to see what lay ahead, and learned about the coming apocalypse regardless of any alterations to his mind), it could also be possible that he wanted the next bearer of the Apple to experience the same effect, in the hopes that the wisdom and knowledge of both himself and Altaïr, both held within it, would be passed on to the next person who would really need it. If this is the case, then Desmond will be a very different person when we next see him in a future installment. [[WMG:Juno forcing Desmond [[spoiler:to stab Lucy was an illusion]].]] ([[http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5251069024/m/5241072698?r=4411091009#4411091009 Theory courtesy of the Ubisoft forums]]) The more you think about the popular theory that Juno [[spoiler:forced Desmond to stab Lucy]] because Lucy [[spoiler:was a Templar spy]], the less it makes sense. Lucy went through a hell of a lot of trouble to defect to the Assassins, defying Vidic and all the other Templar higher-ups, and even if we're assuming she managed to [[spoiler:trick the Assassins into thinking she was on their side]], that's an awfully roundabout way for Abstergo to get the info they need, considering '''''Desmond would have never escaped the Templars' clutches without Lucy's help.''''' So, essentially, Lucy would have had to [[spoiler:betray the Templars, defect to the Assassins, THEN defect back to the Templars,]] assuming they wouldn't just kill her for her efforts. Either that or this was all a convoluted Templar plot to [[spoiler:gain the Assassins' trust]], but why would they even need that if they have Desmond right where they want him? So which is more likely? That Lucy [[spoiler:is a traitor, albeit one on Revolver Ocelot's level, and got stabbed-via-proxy]] by Juno for her efforts, or [[spoiler:Lucy was never killed, because she was never stabbed?]] It was all a trick- [[spoiler:Juno's way of getting Desmond to be ready to do what is necessary.]] As if that wasn't enough, in the very first game we're shown that the number one power of the Apple of Eden is [[spoiler:to create illusions.]] Next time you watch the AC:B ending, pay close attention to what Juno says. [[spoiler:She says "the Path must be opened" and "the scales must be balanced" but neither of those things blatantly says "Lucy has to die, it's the ''only'' way."]] [[WMG:The next game will have Desmond on his own, using the Apple of Eden as a portable Animus.]] Pretty sure killing Lucy wont go over well with the rest of the team even if Desmond explains that he was being controlled. Either they kick him out or Desmond leaves voluntarily in case this happens again. When Desmond sleeps the apple will automatically shape his dreams to reflect the memories of another past life, someone different but relevent to whats going on in the present. * That's improbable. The team needs Desmond, regardless of whether they like him or not. On the contrary, if Desmond tried to leave, they'd do their best to stop him, what with the end of the world coming and all if they don't do something to stop it. He might be treated more as a captive though. It's unlikely that they would treat him as a traitor though; they know the Apple's powers well enough, but that wouldn't stop them from considering him dangerous under its influence. [[WMG: Ezio is [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha's]] ancestor.]] As revealed in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmNn5jfoUH0 this trailer]], about 1 minute in:\\ "What are you going to do?"\\ "[[MemeticMutation Make some friends]]." [[WMG:''Assassin's Creed'' is a {{deconstruction}} of Stealth Videogames (Or, just games in general) SPOILERS for the ending of ''Brotherhood'']] Not sure if this has been talked about yet, but I got the idea after finishing ''Brotherhood''. At the end,the Apple of Eden and the Desmond sequence fully drives home the idea that this is a deconstruction of video games. First, with the Apple of Eden, Ezio is virtually unstoppable, and getting the badies out of the way is done by holding down or pressing one button. In terms of gameplay, you are as close to GodMode in ''Assassin's Creed'' as we're likely to get. One must remember that the player isn't the only one "playing;" Desmond is in the Animus, and is "playing" the memories. We control Desmond, and Desmond controls Ezio. Later, after we finish the parts in the Animus, we play as Desmond and have to go get the Apple under the coliseum. The pause menu is very different; the only options we get are Resume, Options, etc. Regular game options. Whats missing is the ability to restart: this is important because without that ability, it means this is the real world, and we are Desmond in the here and the now. We are no longer "playing a game;" there are no retries or redos. It is also impossible to die (I believe; I fell a couple times jumping around the church and didn't die when I presumably should have) probably because, if Desmond did die here, he would be dead forever. The developers didn't want to turn the players into a bunch of suckers if they did fall far enough, but also wanted to stay consistent. They couldn't let Desmond die here. When Juno takes over Desmond's body and murders Lucy, we feel what its like to be controlled. We make the movements, despite not wanting to, and we're entirely conscious of it. We hate killing Lucy. We are being "played" by the equivalent of God. This is the same feeling a video game character might feel if, say, you played a cruel mother and killed random civies, if they were conscious of it. Also, the ending, being put back into the Animus (the game) because its the only way to save Desmond is similar to falling into video games because of grief, that might stem from, maybe, being forced into killing a friend of yours. I'm sure there are other examples throughout the series, but these are the ones that stood out to me the most. [[WMG:Cesare Borgia really isn't able to be killed by a mere human.]] And he probably will come back in ''Revelations'' and turn out to be the grand master of the templars. Alternatively he still lives in 2012 and is Vidic or some other higher-up of Abstergo.

** You're all incorrect about the red marking line seen in Eagle Vision. It was put there in play testing because play testers away got lost in the city, and that led them back into their HQ. When they removed it in the actual game, some of the lines where still there.

[[WMG: One of the temples that the modern Assassins are looking for is in Turin, NY]] The so called "perfect number" found in the Pythagorean Temple at the end of the Da Vince Disappearance is 43 39' 19''N, 75 27' 42''W. These are the lat/long coordinates of the town of Turin, NY. Given that the Ones Who Came Before knew that the animus would be developed and that Desmond would be using it to relive Ezio's life, there has to be something there that they want him or someone associated with him to find.

[[WMG: The assassin's in Altair's, Ezio's, and Desmond's bloodline are actually mythological gryphons.]] Think about it! The mythological gryphons are often described as creature who protected hoards of treasure in their dens. What if Those Who Came Before created the gryphons to gaurd Pieces of Eden? The "treasures" could have been the P.O.E's. In the beginning the gryphons, like mankind at the time, was not meant to be wise and were creations made from a mixture of blood from Those Who Came Before (in order to allow the creations to accept the mixed form of a lion and eagle) and mankind (to keep them loyal servants to Those Who Came Before). The gryphons were assigned to nests/dens, A.K.A the temples, in order to gaurd the P.O.E's. (If you are asking yourself "From what?", do remember that Minerva told Ezio that they were too concerned with material things to notice the issue with the sun. Maybe they were having an Arm's Race amongst themselves.) After the first wipe out from the sun, everything was left in shambles. Those Who Came Before and mankind went to war but the gryphons stayed true to their jobs and continued to keep the P.O.E away from both sides, though this was taxing on their population as they were being attacked by the other two factions as they attempted to take the P.O.E's away to use in the war. The gryphons eventually developed the ability to take the shape of a human to hide themselves to the point where they could actually produce young in their human forms (Whether or not this was the oficial start of the Creed, I can't say). At some point an ancestor of Atair, Ezio, and Desmond was orphaned at an extremly young age when a temple was attacked and had never learned how to change into a gryphon again, probably being raised as a human. With the knowledge of their true forms gone, all those following that bloodline only had the Eagle Vision as an unknown reminder of what they once were. [[WMG: Leonardo used the Apple when it was in his possession.]] All those deadly devices that Leonardo "invented" were really technology the Apple shared with him. Remember the Borgia did give him the Apple for a short time to experiment on and now suddenly he can not only make a flying machine that works but one with a cannon on the back of it! * Leo says as much when you first meet him in ''Brotherhood'' [[WMG: The 'Ones Who Came Before' are actually identical to humans, but with perfect genetic memory]] [[spoiler:Juno]] referred to the Sixth Sense, 'Knowledge', which humans were made without. This could easily be the ability to access genetic memory naturally. Also, according to some of Subject 16's revelations in the previous game, [[spoiler:Desmond is likely the descendant of both a human and a 'One Who Came Before']]. Since he is experiencing prolonged 'Leaked Memories', this could explain why he was the only one who could see [[spoiler:Juno]]. If he is descended from her, her persona could be 'Leaking' out from his Genetic Memory. This could explain how she was able to [[spoiler:Control him, even if she seemed to need to use the apple to do so]]. [[WMG: The Templars have infiltrated the team.]] In the ending, [[spoiler:Juno states that "The cross darkens the horizon" and after forcing Desmond to kill Lucy, says that the way is now "clear".]] Not only does this raise some very important questions about why Desmond was forced to do this in the first place, but it also suggests that [[spoiler:there is something untoward about Lucy]]. [[spoiler:Juno]]'s statements suggested that she was trying to aid Desmond, and it would be fair to assume that [[spoiler:The "Cross" referred to is the Templar cross.]] While this might simply be an allusion to the overarching plot of the series, it could also mean that [[spoiler:Lucy was another Templar threat to Desmond that he was unaware of, which would be why Juno forced him to kill her.]] Backing this up are [[spoiler:the strange red footprints seen in present-day Monteriggioni when using Eagle Vision, which lead from the sewers to Lucy during the sequence where she is standing outside, watching the moon.]] It may be possible that this was to access some of the town's electrical equipment (given the point about Monteriggioni's power lines being fairly weak, this isn't too far-fetched) and that the footprints were due to some... waste... that was dragged up. However, this is never mentioned. [[spoiler:There is also fact that the footprints show up in red. Think about it, what else shows up red in Eagle Vision? enemies, and messages written in blood. So, was Lucy always a Templar agent who had to murder someone and hide the body in the sewers to maintain her cover? was the victim in fact the real Lucy, who was covertly murdered while outside the sanctuary and replaced by a Templar double? was Lucy on your side all along, just engaging in a bit of covert killing without telling anyone? or was she down in the sewers for some perfectly innocuous reason, that she never saw fit to disclose to her team?]] If either of the first two possibilities is true, it would certainly explain [[spoiler: Lucy's extreme dedication - In one eMail, an Assassin leader actually asks her to calm down. Why would Lucy's stress seem out of the ordinary? could she be secretly working towards an ulterior motive? maybe she's so obsessed with finding the Apple because she's working for the Templars.]] Considering that Desmond is the only lead they have on the Apple (and that they have an apparent habit of planting moles in other teams), it would make sense for them to try and infiltrate the one with access to the most vital information. ** If this is true, then she must be a ''really'' good spy to fool Desmond's Eagle Vision into thinking she's an Assassin. Either that or she programmed the bleeding effect in the Animus to make her appear as a friendly to Desmond. ** Eagle Vision isn't exactly magic, and it is possible and in fact very likely that it only highlights known threats, which would allow Lucy to appear as an ally to Desmond because he sees her as such. Also, Subject 16's speech at the end of The Truth mentions something about "she is not as she seems" which could refer to Lucy, further supporting this theory. ** What if Juno wants the Assassins to fail? She refers to the "Cross darkening the horizon", but she doesn't seem too pleased to see Desmond. "The way is clear" means the Assassins just lost their best agent. Either all the Ones-who-came-before are betting on the Templars or it's just Juno. The blood is from Lucy stopping Templar agents from getting to the Hideout, and she doesn't tell the others because the stress would shatter the team completely. If Lucy was a Templar agent, I doubt she would put so much work into scheduling the weekly timetable. Or something. I dunno. ** Remember, [[spoiler: Al-Mualim]] appeared blue at first too. ** I get a feeling that if the real Lucy is dead and being replaced by a fake, maybe that Lucy has undergone BecomingTheMask. ** I thought that [[spoiler: 16 was refering to Juno not being who she said she was]] [[WMG: Regarding [[spoiler: Juno's reason for killing Lucy]]]] Remember [[spoiler: Kessler]] from ''{{InFamous}}''? Basically the same thing. [[WMG: Lucy is [[spoiler: still alive.]]]] [[spoiler: And if so, I hope she's still with the Assassins because I don't wanna hear about rumors of her being a Templar.]] [[WMG: The person stuffed into the Animus at the ending is not Desmond, but Lucy]] We have already seen Desmond ancestors, and Rebecca and Shaun both comment about their experiences. But what about Lucy? She's a great fighter, team leader and researcher to be just a Badass Normal. The voices at the end (not Shaun or Rebecca, so probably other assassins) claim someone's gone into shock, which again would make Lucy more probable. What if Juno manipulated the whole thing because there was important information on Lucy's ancestors, and getting her into the Animus was vital to the mission? Thus we get the setting for the next game: To find the last piece of information, hidden in the memories of a female Assassin. * Unfortunately, they explicitly say they need to put "him" in the Animus. [[CaptainObvious Lucy's a girl.]] [[WMG: Ezio uses blanks sometimes when using the hidden gun. ]] This explains why his ammo supply doesn't go down when he executes someone while using his sword. The guards just die of a heart attack thinking they've just been shot. ** This only applies to Medium Weapon counter-kills -- when using the gun offensively for a kill streak, ammo is expended -- and in at least some of those counter kills, he's already incapacitated/mortally wounded them. ** Blanks aren't immaterial. They should take space. ** Firearms in the 1400's don't have cartridges, evidenced by the fact when you buy ammo, they show up as lead balls. Blanks weren't even around that long ago. [[WMG: Mario's grandfather had a much higher opinion of his family's abilities than was justified.]] The escape tunnel was hidden in the Assassin's Sanctuary - behind the statue of Altair. Which meant that it was behind a locked gate that could only be unlocked by placing the six Assassin Seals. Which the Auditore family searched for for an entire century without finding a single one before Ezio tracked down all six. Meaning that it would have been impossible for anyone to use that escape tunnel in the century between the Sanctuary's construction and Ezio's finding the seals. Clearly the designer thought that his kin would track down the Seals in a more reasonable amount of time, or he would have put the escape tunnel someplace more accessible. *** Maybe he had an alternative way of opening the gate, or possibly he actually had the seals, and they were scattered across the Assassin tombs after he died, a possibility which he didn't predict. [[WMG: The other woman Desmond is "supposed" to be with is Christina's descendant.]] Brotherhood seemed to have sudden focus on Ezio's relationship with Christina, which is odd bit of development for a character who barely appeared for a few minutes in [=AC2=]. Add to the fact she seemed to be the one woman that Ezio genuinely and truly loved and was absolutely crushed when [[spoiler:she died]]... [[WMG: Ezio had Rodrigo's successor killed.]] After Rodrigo dies, the next big event mentioned in the game is the Cardinals electing Guillermo della Rovere to the Papacy. But he was not Rodrigo Borgia's successor. Rodrigo's successor was Francesco Piccolomini, or Pius III. He died, possibly of poison, after a mere four weeks in office - shortly after confirming that Cesare would remain Commander of the Papal Armies during his Papacy. His successor was Guillermo della Rovere, Pope Julius II, who removed Cesare from that post and had him arrested. How convenient for the Assassins that Cesare's new backer died so quickly, only to be replaced by an enemy... [[WMG: Ezio was the target of a breeding program.]] Think about it: by the end of Brotherhood Ezio is almost in his fifties. And yet he has still not fathered Desmond's ancestor. Consider how unlikely it is for such an old man to be sexually active. It's possible that some agent of Those who Came Before obtained his DNA because they knew how important that genetic line would be. ** This is [[MemeticSexGod Ez]][[HandsomeLech io]] we're talking about. I wouldn't want to be the one to tell him he's too old to have sex. ** Plus, Ezio seemed to have slept with several (thousand) women during the course of his life. *** However, if you remember the weird dream Desmond has in AC2 about Altair, when Altair's DNA was...uh... 'passed on', Desmond was no longer able to follow him, so Ezio must of 'passed on' his DNA after the events of this game (AND revelations!) ** It may be ''statistically'' unlikely that any given old man is sexually active. However, this is Ezio Auditore. We ''know'' he's sexually active even in his later years - he chats up a woman bringing flowers to his sister's birthday party in the first minutes of the game, for crying out loud. *** even statistically it's not that unlikely, the elderly are actually pretty damm sexually active. * I don't think it's a case of him not being sexually active. He probably just hasn't fathered the Miles line until late in his life, with the likelihood that he's got plenty of illegitimate kids at least. That or he's just really careful. [[WMG: The Arab Spring revolutions of 2011 were part of a XanatosGambit on the part of the Templars to clamp down on Assassin activity in Europe.]] This comes from the fact that Lucy said that the Templars were watching the Italian border checks for them, so they had nowhere to go except Monteriggioni. Thing is, under normal circumstances, this isn't the case, since all countries that share land borders with Italy are members of the Schengen Area, an EU customs union, which Italy is of course a part of. So, under normal circumstances, there are no border checks when going from Italy to France, for example. Border checks can be reinstituted temporarily in times of threats to national security, which the Templars might have a hard time explaining to the Italian government how four people with probably little to no criminal records that we know of could pose a threat to the national security of Italy. At first this troper thought it was just an oversight on the part of the game developers. But lo and behold, the revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa have triggered massive debates in Europe about how to handle the refugees streaming out of the region. Italy is absorbing a large amount of them, even though many immediately head off to France. So, there are many people calling for the Italian government and others across Europe to reinstate border controls. And since this is something that's likely to last for a while, we've got a reason for border controls to be holding in Desmond and company. And the Templars just sit back and watch as Assassin after Assassin gets caught at border controls that now exist once again across Europe. [[WMG: Cesare is a kind of human embued with the powers of a Piece of Eden, a bit like Adha.]] He does seem to be mildly prophetic, and perhaps his BadassBoasts about being unkillable aren't as nonsensical as we'd like to think... [[WMG: [[AbusivePrecursors Those Who Came Before]] are, in fact, the true villians of the series. ]] Those That Came before created [[WeWillUseManualLaborInTheFuture Humanity to serve as a slave labor for them.]] This was not a benevolent relationship [[BlatantLies despite what Minerva would have us believe.]] Eventually, Adam and Eve, two humans that grew genetically resistant to TTC's usage of the Pieces of Eden, rose up and stole one of the POEs (possibly with the help of an individual named [[ParadiseLost Lucifer.]] Anyways, war broke out between the two races, solar flare wipe out most of life, survivors rebuild, Those That Came before die out, ect. ect. Except they did not die out nor did they truly help Humanity rebuild. [[AncientConspiracy Instead, The Precursors (or what was left of them) went into deep hibernation and left behind recording in an attempt to manipulate humanity's descendents in their bid to retake control of the planet.]] [[EnemyCivilWar They orchestrated the war between the Templars and Assassins]] because both sides had the ability to see through their lies and disrupt their plans. Finally, the "Temples" Minerva mentions will somehow awaken the precursors and enslave the whole of humanity except for the [[EnemyMine Templars and Assassins who would be able to resist.]] ** The end of Brotherhood definitely casts a lot of doubt on the idea that the Precursors are to be trusted or relied on, I'll give you that. Sixteen's messages about how humans seem to have grown genetically resistant to brainwashing through television also seems to support the hypothesis in the first paragraph. [[WMG: The Assassins control the CIA]] As stated in the game, the Templars developed capitalism once the whole "divine right" thing stopped working. Today, they use corporations as fronts. It seems likely that the Assassins would have their own fronts, and given their preferred MO, what better fronts than intelligence agencies? Besides, it would be amusing to see a ConspiracyTheory where the CIA are actually the good guys for a change. ** Nup CIA are templars, they orchestrated the assassination of JFK and coup's in Chili
