Very Nice Memory
This review is from: HyperX 32GB (8 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX1600C9D3K8/32GX
Pros: 8 stick matching 32 GB. Heat spreaders are a better color than the picture shows. A few shades darker. All sticks work. Price is decent for HyperX XMP. Windows 7.9 rating.
Cons: Only runs 1333mhz JEDEC on standard settings but that's not really a con. It actually makes sense for stability on a virgin post before burn in.
Other Thoughts: XMP works well with ASUS P9X79 LE MB. This memory was designed for this board IMO. Perfect color match on the heat spreaders to the board. XMP mode in the AI tweaker takes this Ram straight to DDR 1600 at 800mhz with all other settings at auto and 4.5ghz stable overclock. Sweet!

The Road Ahead – Evolutionary or Revolutionary
NOTE: This is the second installment in a series of essays reflecting on the future of liberal arts colleges. Some speculate all liberal arts institutions are destined for failure. I disagree. We will explore the current dynamics and set the context for the future of Central College.
The pace of development for internet technology has been nothing short of breathtaking. In 1993, I remember sitting at a computer terminal using one of the earliest email programs called Jove, and exploring a crude version of a web browser known as Mosaic. For those who remember as I do, these programs were as primitive to web-based technologies as Pong was to video games. These systems predated Windows and the use of a mouse was a whole new concept. So, on a plain screen with a flashing cursor, I browsed the entire store of information in Mosaic in a text-only format. At that time, the web probably had less content than the email now sitting in my inbox. I have a lot of nostalgia for those days.
Speculation about the future of our society raced with imagination, even with such rudimentary tools at our disposal. Some forecasts seemed incredible – far too futuristic – almost science fiction. Twenty years later, I think we can say we seriously underestimated the pace and power of advances in internet technology.
Just prior to the unleashing of this wave of technological change, a book about education appeared on the scene in 1992 and became a best seller. The author was Lewis J. Perelman, who has pursued a career as a policy analyst, researcher, management consultant and author. The provocative title for his analysis on the future of education was, School's Out: Hyperlearning, the New Technology, and the End of Education. A year later the book was released by a new publisher with the kinder, gentler title, School's Out: A Radical New Formula for the Revitalization of America's Educational School System.
The book served an important purpose. Its aggressive tone was merciless, but not in the way you would have expected. Critics of American education have abounded for more than a century. Perelman's point, however, was not that that our schools and colleges were failing. In fact, he was quick to note the educational system in the U.S. at that time was, in his view, the best in the world given the purpose of a "pluralistic and egalitarian society." His assertion was different. Traditional models of education were no longer relevant and would soon be rejected by society. Why? Technology was about to supplant education at every level. It would be a revolution, not an evolution, driven by dramatic shifts in market forces responding to sweeping advances in learning technology. While his analysis of emerging societal change was ahead of its time, his conclusions and predictions regarding the impacts of change on education have so far proven to be wrong, or perhaps just premature.
The following excerpts come from a section of Perelman's book with the heading The End of "Education." (Please note "telecosm" was an early term used to describe what we now know as the internet).
The imminent hyperlearning world, where learning and expertise are diffused everyplace and where people of any age and status may be engaged in learning anytime, makes the infrastructure of "schooling" irrelevant and even obstructive…
In the seventies it was trendy to define schools, colleges, or universities "without walls" to suggest a variant academic institution that was open to the real world. Like "distance learning" or "distance education" – which imply that the telecosm is a mere adjunct to academia rather than a time bomb destined to blow it up – other mongrel platitudes will burden us for a while with a vocabulary contrived to portray revolution as mere evolution: electronic classroom, embedded training, campus-free college, and a term I find particularly idiotic, "technology-based" teaching (as if talk and chalk, books and pencils and such are not technology). Bolder editorialists may begin to speak of classrooms without teachers, schools without classrooms, or ultimately even education without schools. But eventually it will become clear that the system break I identify with hyperlearning represents not merely a new form of "education" freed of this or that encumbrance, but a world freed from the encumbrance of education all together.
Perelman went on to suggest hyperlearning would "simply replace tweaked variations on the vocabulary of 'education'" by the early years of the 21st century.
So here we are in the early years of the 21st century and School's Out has faded from memory. Yet the spirit of the idea lives on in a newer concept called, disruptive innovation. The origins of the idea are credited to Harvard business professor, Clayton Christiansen, and refer to an innovation that creates a new market that eventually replaces an existing market. The parallel is obvious. Perelman's idea that the combination of technological innovation and new market forces would eventually supplant our existing educational systems is echoed in the patterns described in disruptive innovation. The old adage, "everything old is new again," appears to be true for theorists, as well as markets.
Given the vast changes in society related to technological innovation, why hasn't fundamental, systemic change occurred in our models of education? To be sure, schools, colleges and universities have adapted significantly to changing technology environments, along with an openness to emerging academic disciplines and professional fields of study. Yet these adaptations have been evolutionary, not revolutionary. They have been sustaining, not disruptive. Why?
For some the answer is one of timing – "Just you wait. Your day will come." OK. Maybe. Others explain this as the intransigence of the system – "The bureaucracy is simply killing innovation!" Perhaps. But I think there is something much deeper behind this resistance to change, and it's not the bureaucracy – it's the market. The difference for the market is a distinction between models of learning that are primarily relational vs. transactional; models of learning that are formative vs. summative; and models of learning that pursue knowledge vs. certify credentials.
Prospective undergraduate students seeking an education at a residential liberal arts college are not buying a credential by simply checking boxes to record the accumulation of credits and courses in order to qualify them for first jobs on their way to careers. They are buying a thoughtfully integrated learning experience carefully designed (in fact, customized) for personal and professional development. It's an experience rooted in relationship set in the context of academic community. This is considered by some to be nothing more than prolonged adolescence. Others describe this as a luxury society can no longer afford. Yet this is the fundamental question we will ask ourselves related to education in the next decade. Will society reject an undergraduate residential learning environment dedicated to the development of the whole person?
Next time: How will MOOCs, online courses, competency-based education and for-profit institutions change the landscape of higher education in general and liberal arts education in particular?

India ranks 7th in global services trade
Nov 18 2012 , New Delhi
With exports at $137 billion and imports at $124 billion, India is among the five countries among the top ten players which ended the year 2011 with a surplus of trade in commercial services, according to a WTO report.
The Indian economy is mainly driven by services with the sector contributing over 55 per cent of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The US lived up to its reputation of a global powerhouse of commercial services with exports of $581 billion, far exceeding its imports of $395 billion, the report noted.
Though Germany was ranked as the second biggest player in the global services trade, it had more of imports than exports with a deficit of $36 billion. Its exports of services were $253 billion while imports aggregated to $289 billion in 2011, it said.
China which runs a big surplus in merchandise trade had a deficit in the services with imports exceeding exports by $54 billion.
"The value of world exports of commercial services rose by 11 per cent in 2011 to $4,170 billion, exceeding pre-crisis levels of $3,850 in 2008," the report said.
While Europe showed signs of recovery, with annual growth of 11 per cent in 2011, Asian economies saw their growth rate halved compared with 2010, mainly due to slower growth in transportation services and other commercial services, it added.
The report also noted that services supplied by US majority-owned foreign affiliates to China and India proved more resilient to the global crisis than exports of cross border services.

Wheeling Jesuit University/Groups/Jesuit Community Service
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Aren't volunteering and community service the same damn thing?
Can I get out of it?
maybe if you're a spoiled ritch kid who only cares about him/herself.
Stages of Choosing to Serve
There is no volunteering - that which Great White Mother tells us to do is our joyful duty. There are instead three stages of Choosing to Serve. Foreplay involves preparing your group for community service, intercourse is the act of servicing, and afterglow is the discussion and criticism.
People who are not as experienced with community service often have questions about it. However, they are typically afraid to ask them, because they feel that asking these questions will embarrass them in front of their more-experienced peers. Here are a few common questions of this type.
I get a funny feeling when I participate in community service. Is something wrong with me?
yes, you are the most retarted person on the planet if you feel funny. helping people you dont know is a good thing. they arent aliens u no
I often have the feeling that my performance is inadequate. Is this normal?
Yes, it's perfectly normal for many people to question their adequacy. This demonstrates the importance of the "afterglow" stage, where such inadequacies can easily be corrected with a change in technique. If this inadequacy continues, it might be a sign of community service dysfunction.
Some strange guy stares at us whenever we do community service. Who is this guy?
It's Immortal Jesuit Emperor Fed Acker Huang, and it's perfectly normal. He often gives helpful advice to first-timers, and takes a very keen interest in this subject.
Sometimes I feel that my group is engaging in other community service projects behind my back.
This is another perfectly normal feeling. The correct thing to do is to stalk him or her to find out what's going on. Remember, if you truly care, you'll never give up.

Wallpaper on Two Monitors
I now have a two monitor setup. A new widescreen 1920x1200 and my original 1280x1024.
Here is what I have been doing to create wallpapers for the widescreen.
1. Crop image to widescreen aspect ratio, set custom size at 1700px x 1063px.
2. Select a color in the image I want for a border.
3. Add canvas to resize at 1920x1200px's with my selected color as my new canvas color.
4. New image is 1920x1200px's with nice border where my icons, on the left side of screen and gadgets, on the right side of screen reside.
My problem is this image does not fit on the 1280px x 1024px screen. How can I use a different image that is resized for the smaller second screen, if this is possible. Even a totally different image.
Can it be done?

Newbie, having fun.

Charges filed in Vt. man's deathNovember 22,2012FORT EDWARD, N.Y. — A 30-year-old Vermont woman is free on bail after pleading not guilty to charges stemming from a crash on New York Route 22 in Hebron that killed an 83-year-old man.
Cassie Early of Arlington, Vt., entered the plea Tuesday before a Washington County judge in Fort Edward.
A grand jury indicted Early on a series of charges from the 7 a.m. crash on July 29, including aggravated vehicular homicide, and manslaughter in the death of Vincent Muro Sr., of West Rutland, Vt.
Court documents say Early had a blood alcohol level more than double the legal limit for driving.
Police say Early's pickup crossed into the wrong lane and hit Muro's vehicle.

Peter Falk's wife of 32 years is opposing a bid by the Emmy-winning actor's adopted daughter to place him under conservatorship.
Documents filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court state that Falk entrusted his wife, Shera Danese Falk, to manage his affairs and care before his health deteriorated.
Catherine Falk applied to be named conservator over her father's affairs in December, stating her father was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
The former "Columbo" star's wife contends that Falk is receiving adequate care and does not have a close relationship with his daughter. Her filing includes declarations from the couple's accountant, housekeeper and numerous friends, including the ex-wife of Johnny Carson and actor Joe Mantegna.

Early in the session the battle was fierce, the EUR/USD collapsed to 1.2735 following the no-news eurogroup event but the pair bounced from lows and returned to the 1.2800 comfort zone where it has been trading within the American session hours, having hit a new 2-week high of 1.2831 during the American session.
The euro seems detached from fundamentals lately as despite eurozone woes are far from over and no decision was made neither on Greek debt nor Spanish bailout, the EUR/USD continues to find buyers on dips. "With Eurogroup finance ministers unable to come to an agreement on Greece, the EURUSD has remained in relative consolidation for the second day in a row," points Richard Lee, FXstreet.com analyst.
"The range trade has kept hopes alive that the single currency could be privy to some upside potential very soon. But, even as policymakers are scheduled to reconvene on November 26th to decide the fate of Greece, there is ample opportunity for Euro bears to pounce," adds Lee who comments the possibilities of a "EpicFail."
As for the short term, thin trade and bouts of volatility are thus expected throughout the rest of the week, as Friday's session will be shorter than usual. However, EUR/USD bullish tone persists, "with the pair trading at fresh weekly high and nearing 1.2840, 38.2% retracement of the latest daily fall," comments FXstreet.com Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik. "Steady gains above this last will expose the 1.2890/1.2900 static resistance zone."
There is "The frustrating ranges" persisting in the EUR/USD comments RBS's Technical Markets Strategist William Moore. "The short-term range between 1.2806 and 1.2742 looks under threat – as this was defined by the important low on October 1 and the 38.2% retracement from the July September rally. In line with the recent ranges, this looks good value for a small long here expecting a 40/50 pip run back to 1.2806+ where the fade once again becomes the chosen strategy." Moore suggests.
Just as reminder, US markets will remain closed on Thursday and will close earlier on Friday at 13:00 ET (18:00 GMT).

If you are looking for a truly classic outfit this year, how about a kids Cowgirl Halloween costume? Selections include gunslinger, Annie Oakley and rodeo queen outfits. Hats and faux gun with holster are just some of the accessories available. Some of our most popular selections are the Jesse outfits for girls and women. Jesse is a doll that comes to life in the animated Toy Story movie series.
Deluxe Rhinestone Cowgirl Child's Costume
Giddy Up Cowgirl Children's Costume
Cowgirl Sweetie Girl's Costume
Toy Story 3 Deluxe Jessie Girl's Costume
Toy Story Jessie Quality Girl's Costume
Frozen Elsa Snow Queen Girl's Costume Kit
Cowgirls played an important part of the Wild West so they are a great character for your child to emulate. They worked hard on ranches, especially when their men were off on cattle drives or at war. It's no coincidence that Wyoming was the first state to allow women to vote; men in the state recognized that women were as tough and as smart as men because they knew many women worked side by side with men and even alone when necessary.
One of the most famous cowgirls is Annie Oakley. She was a sharpshooter who performed in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Annie, who grew up in poverty, began hunting at age 8 to feed herself and her family. She sold the game to local restaurants and hotels and paid off her mother's mortgage when she was 15. She set records for shooting well into her 60s. Any girl that knew that would love to be a cowgirl for Halloween.

Bryan Hinkle lists his year-end top sneaker performance picks.
In a year that saw some companies make a comeback and some just make an appearance, it was the tried and tested brands who fared best, in my mind, overall. With one big surprise, of course.
I tried many different shoes this year, more than most, thanks to this website. After testing all the different styles and brands, I feel like a Foot Locker guinea pig, but in a good way. I wore highs, lows, and all in between, played more ball than I had since college, and constantly had people asking me how I liked certain shoes. I tried to open eyes of players and readers everywhere to different ideas and concepts, not just the tried and true "walk into the Finish Line and grab a pair because it is on the top shelf" approach. With all my wears, here are my picks for several different categories. (Disclaimer: I left out any shoe released since December 1 due to lack of testing time.)

The Apprentices were members of the Assassin Order, training to become fully fledged Assassins. During the Renaissance, they were also known as the Assassin recruits – citizens who joined the Brotherhood at the behest of Ezio Auditore in Rome and Constantinople, both to strengthen the Order's presence in the region and simultaneously combat the Templar threat.
High Middle Ages
An Apprentice was usually born into the Order, with either one or both of their parents being an Assassin, as was the case with Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and Abbas Sofian. Apprentices would begin their training from a young age, progressing through several tiers before being promoted to the rank of Assassin.[1]
During the Crusades, the Levantine Apprentices primarily trained in the Masyaf fortress, which was also the Assassins' headquarters in the region, that was often attacked by both Crusaders and Saracens alike. Under the leadership of Altaïr, the Assassin Order was rebuilt with newly created techniques and rules and restrictions undone.[1]
Using knowledge gained from an Apple of Eden, the Levantine Assassins were eventually spread to different locations around the globe – an effort to make the Assassin Order a more global organization – with the techniques developed by their Levantine brethren becoming widely incorporated to many other Assassin branches in the process.[1]
- Ezio: "To win this war, Machiavelli, we need loyal soldiers. By recruiting enemies of the state, we arm those who have been disarmed by the Borgia."
- Niccolò: "Go then. Recruit our first novices."
- ―Ezio and Niccolò, regarding Ezio's plan to recruit allies.[src]
Having witnessed the overwhelming odds that the Assassins faced in Rome, as well as the citizens' oppression by those serving the Borgia, Ezio convinced Niccolò Machiavelli that they would require loyal soldiers with the strength and courage to face the forces of Cesare Borgia. Niccolò reluctantly agreed, and Ezio's recruiting efforts began.[2]
The first novices were recruited during 1501, shortly after the rescue of Caterina Sforza from the Castel Sant'Angelo. Ezio traveled throughout the city, assisting the citizens wherever and whenever he could, finding many of them either being terrorized or making a stand against the city guards.[2]
Upon saving them from their troubles, he would offer each citizen the chance to join the Brotherhood, and, should they accept, he would send them to Niccolò to officially be made into an Assassin recruit. The Apprentices subsequently devoted themselves to learning the ways of the Assassin Order, driven by the desire for revenge against the Borgia for oppressing the city and its people.[2]
The Brotherhood steadily grew over time, operating with multiple recruits – both male and female – who were instructed in combat, free-running, pickpocketing, blending, and other skills necessary for them to become fully fledged Assassins.[2]
Operating from the Tiber Island headquarters, the Apprentices were often sent on contract missions across Europe and Asia in order to improve their skills, gain first-hand combat experience, and aid the Assassin cause. When not on assignments, the Apprentices would support Ezio directly, coming to his aid whenever called upon.[2][3]
One such occurrence happened after Ezio's visit to the Thieves' Guild headquarters. He and La Volpe learned that the Borgia knew about Volpe's spies, an occurrence of which Volpe used to affirm his previous suspicions of Niccolò's treachery, given several questionable acts that Niccolò seemed to be involved with.[2]
As Volpe refused to lend Ezio the help of his thieves to save Pietro Rossi from being killed by Micheletto Corella, Cesare's personal assassin, this forced Ezio to enlist the aid of his recruits instead.[2]
Discovering that Micheletto's plan was to infiltrate the play which was to be held at the Colosseum, Ezio followed him, and had his Apprentices eliminate Micheletto's men so they could take the guards' places. Disguised, the recruits and Ezio successfully infiltrated the Colosseum and foiled Micheletto's plan, with the Assassins protecting their leader from the Borgia guards as Ezio carried Pietro to safety.[2]
The Apprentices were also involved in the assassination of the Templar agents around the city, an event during which several key Borgia supporters were eliminated. Malfatto, who was responsible for the murders of several courtesans in the Centro District, and Silvestro Sabbatini, a slave trader involved in kidnapping people interfering in Borgia affairs, were both killed by Ezio's recruits on his command.[2]
A team of Apprentices led by Francesco Vecellio also eliminated Rocco Tiepolo, Cahin, Caha and Baltasar de Silva while working with Fiora Cavazza, a courtesan and traitor to the Borgia.[3]
- "The people here are quite sick of these Templar attacks. Can you turn on your charms and find us a few more recruits?"
- ―Yusuf, asking for Ezio's help in recruiting new Assassins.[src]
In Constantinople, Ezio was able to recruit Apprentices for the Turkish Assassins' Guild in a similar manner as he had done in Rome a few years previously. Some recruits were citizens that Ezio helped out by completing certain tasks, while others were saved from harassment inflicted upon them by the Byzantines.[4]
Once recruited, Ezio could send these individuals out on contract missions in the Mediterranean, where they eroded Templar influence in key cities and eventually retook them for the Assassins. Ezio could also assign up to five recruits to be stationed at a reclaimed city, which helped the Assassins maintain control of it and protect the area from the Templar forces.[4]
Some citizens required that Ezio demonstrate his abilities in a race or pickpocketing challenge, while another sought Ezio's help in protecting his family from the Byzantines. Other tasks involved things such as winning a fist fight, or helping a woman eliminate the Templars that destroyed her shop.[4]
During his own missions, Ezio was able to have up to six Apprentices support him. They would commonly operate alone or in pairs, and were often called upon to perform Arrow Storms (wherein they would fire a volley of arrows upon any target from above), to engage in direct combat with an enemy, or to perform assassinations. Each time, Ezio would signal the Apprentices to strike by raising his arm and clenching his fist.[2]
When operating without their Mentor, the Apprentices would move in teams, led by a single Assassin appointed by Ezio. Together, they would complete missions across Italy, as well as the rest of Europe and beyond. One such team was led by Francesco Vecellio and notably featured Cipriano Enu, who specialized in archery, along with the stealthy Tessa Varzi, who was skilled with poisons.[3]
This team participated in the Defense of Camerino, the rescue of several prisoners that Cesare Borgia was to execute merely for his entertainment, and the protection of the astronomers Novara and Nicolaus Copernicus.[3]
Although the Apprentices would not always survive these missions, should they succeed, they would return with greater skill and experience, as well as money and items that they had obtained during their travels.[2][3]
Likewise, while in Constantinople, Ezio could send his recruits out to cities in the Mediterranean to complete contracts. At first, the cities were controlled by Templars; only by sending Assassins into the city could the Brotherhood erode the Templar influence and eventually reclaim it for the Assassins.[4]
Once reclaimed, Ezio could channel some of his income into these cities to improve their infrastructure, which in turn provided him with additional money and supplies. Assassins stationed at reclaimed cities would also receive extra training.[4]
Due to the absence of Sultan Bayezid II, the Byzantine Templars' influence in Constantinople grew to a point in which the Byzantines were able to take over several Assassin Dens located in the city. Following this, they used them as staging grounds, locked down the surrounding area, and prevented Ezio from restoring the city. Eventually however, the Assassin was able to reclaim several of the Dens.[4]
Such activities did not go unnoticed however, and for every reclaimed Den, there was a possibility of the Templars attacking one that was already under the Assassin control. If such an event occurred, Ezio once again relied on his recruits, co-ordinating the defense of a contested Den from an adjacent rooftop – though he supported the recruits with his Hidden Gun when he saw the need to – but nonetheless concentrated on tactics and the placement of the Assassin units.[4]
Equipment and skills
The Apprentices during the Third Crusade primarily wore generic white robes. Under Al Mualim's rule, each rank of Assassins had a unique set of robes, with Al Mualim himself dressing fully in black.[1]
However, after Altaïr consolidated power in the Brotherhood, the rank-based clothing was discarded, with all Assassins wearing the same set of standard robes, while Altaïr himself continued to wear his Master Assassin robes for the majority of his life.[1]
The Levantine Assassins were the first Assassin branch to use most of the techniques later adopted by other Assassin branches, including air assassinations, ledge assassinations, and assassinations from hiding spots; all of which were idealized by Altaïr and Malik Al-Sayf.[1]
Nonetheless, the Levantine Assassins wielded no special equipment, only primarily being equipped with a Hidden Blade, a sword, a short blade, and throwing knives, with the amount of weaponry depending on the rank of the Assassin. On very rare occasions, an Assassin was allowed to use two Hidden Blades; however, only a limited amount of Assassins were given this privilege, as the materials required to create a Hidden Blade were scarce at the time.[5]
The Apprentices during the 16th century were trained in a wide variety of skills and weaponry, including all the weapon types used by the previous Assassin generations, as well as heavy weapons, long weapons, crossbows, poisons, guns, and explosives. They were also capable of fighting on horseback, and unlike Ezio, Apprentices could use their pistol in conjunction with a heavy weapon.[2][3][4]
The Apprentices' armor and weaponry could be customized however they chose, allowing them to decide whether they would specialize in attack, defense, or both. Typically, an Apprentice began with basic leather armor, eventually adding several more pieces of equipment.[2][4]
As they advanced through the ranks, the armor became reinforced with metal parts, to the point that a recruit would resort to using a set of plate armor, before attaining the rank of Assassin. At that moment, the Apprentices were granted the Assassin armor, which combined the lightness of the leather set and durability of the plate armor.[2][4]
Apprentices were also given trainee robes to wear to show their affiliation to the Order. Although these were all identical, standard white robes, they were permitted to dye them a variety of colors.[2][4]
Once inducted into the Order as full Assassins, they were given white Assassin robes, similar to those of Ezio's own.[2] The Ottoman Assassins were rewarded by a set of robes reminiscent of those of their leader, Yusuf Tazim, and a kijil, upon completing their training and achieving the rank of Master Assassin.[4]
During a Den defense, recruits were equipped with several types of weaponry, such as crossbows, rifles and bombs, and also utilized stationary weapons such as Greek Fire, machine guns, and cannons that were mounted on barricades, which were used to slow the Templars' advance on the fortification. Some also preferred to go directly into melee combat with the enemy, while others relied on air assassination.[4]
- Main article: Initiation into the Assassin Order
- "Laa shay'a waqi'un moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine. The wisdom of our Creed is revealed through these words. We work in the dark to serve the light. We are Assassins. Nothing is true, everything is permitted."
- ―Ezio, during the initiation of an Apprentice.[src]
During the Third Crusade, at the rank of Servant, the Apprentice would receive their Hidden Blade and have their left ring finger amputated as a way of ensuring their commitment to the Order. It also allowed for the blade to function properly.[2][4]
The practice of amputation was eventually amended by Altaïr once he attained the position of Mentor, as he saw it as a method which the Templars could exploit to identify the Assassins. The Hidden Blade mechanism was also modified to function properly without the need to remove the ring finger.[5]
During the 16th century in Rome, upon completion of their training, an Apprentice was formally inducted into the Assassin Order as a fully fledged Assassin. A ceremony would be held within the Tiber Island headquarters, where, as per tradition, the Apprentice's left ring finger would be branded, and they would perform a Leap of Faith from the top of the building into the Tiber river.[2]
In Constantinople, the recruits progressed in a similar manner, moving through several tiers of training and completing guild contracts. When a strong enough force of Assassins were sent to a city, they could free it from the Templars' control, allowing for greater support of Ezio's efforts in Constantinople.[4]
The Constantinople guild did not hold initiation ceremonies like its Roman counterpart. Instead, once an Apprentice reached the rank of Assassin, they could be assigned as a Den Master to one of the seven Assassin Dens in Constantinople, in which they would continue their training to eventually attain the status of Master Assassin.[4]
Usually during this training period, an Apprentice discovered information concerning a Templar agent operating in the area. The assassination of the agent would mark the completion of their training and promotion to the rank of Master Assassin, and their training and experience allowed them to subsequently defend their Dens from any further attack attempts by the Templars.[4]
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
- Each Apprentice's appearance and name was randomized. However, their gender was dependant on the location of the map from which they were recruited.
- When sending Apprentices on a mission, even when the odds of success were 100%, it could sometimes fail regardless, and the Assassins used for that contract could be lost.
- Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy included several memories that corresponded to the guild contracts in Brotherhood.
- An Apprentice, Vitellozzo Vitelli, shared the name with an Italian condottiero, who was also a friend of Bartolomeo d'Alviano.
- When managing contracts in the Tiber Island hideout or via pigeon coops, the map of Europe featured modern political boundaries.
- Though a recruit received white robes when they reached the rank of Assassino, any changes made to their outfit color before attaining the maximum rank would still be visible on the underside of their capes.
- If both an Assassin and Ezio attempted to assassinate the same target, they would both appear to leap on him in high profile, but Ezio would then promptly teleport onto the next closest guard, killing him as well.
- It was possible to kill Apprentices with the Apple of Eden if they were caught within the affected area.
- Apprentices could sometimes be heard saying "Requiescat in pace," among other such phrases to dead enemies whenever a skirmish was won.
- Apprentices received no damage from falling, and if a guard or Ezio pushed an Apprentice into water, they would not die, but simply return to the Tiber Island hideout.
- Even if all the recruited Apprentices were normally female, the recruits in the memory "Exit Stage Right" always appeared as male.
- The Apprentices would never travel alongside Ezio. Once all the targets in the area were dead, they would run out of sight and vanish.
- Even if all other Apprentices had achieved the rank of Assassino, during the initiation ceremony, all of them would appear to wear their recruit attire.
- When an Apprentice died, Ezio could approach them, and there would be a "close eyes" option. Following this, Ezio would then kneel down and close the eyes of the Apprentice, as a sign of their last rites.
- Although there was no Hidden Gun visible on their wrists, the Apprentices had the ability to use them in combat.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
- The appearance of the Apprentices in Assassin's Creed: Revelations could be customized further by allowing them to wear hoods and masks. The mask could not be worn without the hood, however. The hair color of females would also change if their uniform color was changed too.
- If a recruit was raised to the rank of Master Assassin, they would not die in battle. Instead, they would be "injured" and were unavailable for combat or missions for 20 minutes.
- Seven out of thirteen available Apprentices could attain the rank of Master Assassin, since it was dependant on the number of Assassin Dens in Constantinople. Elevating an Apprentice to the rank of Master Assassin involved completing a two-part mission for each Apprentice, in which they eventually eliminated a Templar agent.
- Unlike in Brotherhood, only one assassination of a Templar agent, Vali cel Tradat, was essential to completing the single-player campaign in Revelations.
- The initiation ceremony was no longer present, even when an Apprentice attained the Master Assassin rank.
- Once an Apprentice had been called and had dispatched nearby guards, they would always run towards the nearest Assassin Den.

I woke up today suddenly thinking of the movie title, HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS.
The absurdity of that statement suddenly pounced on me. I dunch even understand why u need that long a time.
There are certain things that guys have ZERO tolerance over. I know the worldy secrets.
The author shall now teach you TEN THINGS TO DO TO MAKE A GUY LOSE YOU IN ONE DAY.
Firstly, be prepared first. 3 days before the big day, shave EVERYTHING (except facial hair)! Armpits, pubes, leg, arm, anal if u have hair there.
Invite him to your place. Make sure there is no one else at home.
Alright here is what u do.
1) Train your family pet to act dead. Put ketchup on the pet. Train the pet not to lick it up first. When he comes, act as if u are shoving the dead pet away. Shove the pet to outside your house (where he can forlick happily again). Admit that u had beat the pet up coz you were so angry with yourself. Admit that u sometimes get uncontrollable convulsions like that. Assure him that the family pet dying will not affect the happy evening.
Stare at him with Bambi eyes and say that u are so glad that he accepts u the way u are.
The next moment, make a vase drop on the ground and act as if it was an accident. ROAR in anger as you take maybe the scanner or something heavy to smash the vase into a thousand million pieces. This is easy, imagine the vase is Anwar having sodomy. Very smashable indeed.
As you smash the vase, remember to shout "That will teach you to fall off the shelf!!! That will teach you!!! I will fucking kill you!"
2) Complete the above sentence with an extremely loud "KAN NI NA BU CHAO CHEEBYE!"
Watch as his face contours into horror as he finally realises your violent tendencies. And guys hate girls saying bad words. We are supposed to be gently nursing babies as they kill each other during wars.
3) Breathe very hard as you smile at him again. Let your non violent self take over. Admit you are sometime shizophrenic.
Tell him it is controllable though, not to worry. A moment after this, ask him:
"Did my alter ego talk to you just now darling? I think it killed the cat/dog/ostrish/lama!"
4) Step 4 works for non-smokers. Take out a Dunhill hard pack and smoke away. Admit that all this while you have been a smoker. You didnt want to let him find out. Actually, you are really really sick of acting like a Shu nu already. There are so many things he should find out about you.... Pull him but his shirt front and lead him to bed...
5) Step 4's spoken words should be said with lethal bad breath. This is very important so dunch brush your teeth for 3 days. Make sure a piece of kangkong is stuck between the front teeth.
When he asked u in horror, "When was the last time you ate Kang Kong?"
Think for a long time. (gives him more time to freak out) And then say, "Three days ago lor, why? Hahhaa smartie how did you guess?"
6) When you guys reached your room, which I presume has a computer, tell him you want to turn him on. Show him your amazing collection of porn downloaded from Kazaa.
It is all about beastiality, necrophillia, incest, child porn and all the norm. A straight guy cannot stand sodomy. Get some of those too.
7) He should be freaking turned off by now. If he still manages an erection, you shld be freaked out. In fact, if he goes out of the house to telling you he wants to retrieve the dead cat/dog/ostrish/lama to add to your sexual adventures, call the police. As he mumbles "Holy shit! This is great. How often can you get necro-beastiality!", whack him on the head with the scanner which is spoilt already anyway and shove him outta the house.
If he is too shocked to do anything except to be pulled into the room, take his hands to touch your leg. Against the grain.
Smile innocently as he jumps away and says "Wah lau you never shave ah!"
Say that you already said you are sick of being a Shu nu. Sigh. Why muz you shave? Women come naturally with hair what! Show him your armpit hair. Show him the stubbles of the pubes. Anal hair too if you have.
8) If this somehow leads to sex, tell him that all these while he didnt satisfy you coz his penis is TOO SMALL, and he cums to fast. And the orgasms were fake all these while. He might cry. Ignore it.
Give him a disgusted look as he sobs and say that you hate guys who cry over nothing. Say that Gary doesnt cry over nothing!
He stops crying and asks your sharply who Gary is. Say that Gary is someone who doesnt mind your leg hair, smoking, sexual fetishes, swearing, and everything else he minds.
9) Show him the nice love bite Gary gave you on your breast. (love bite courtesy of your fuck buddy or a good gal-friend.)
Say that you and Gary have broke off already and itz all his fault coz he took up too much of your time. If he doesnt storm off by now, proceed to cook him dinner.
10) Vegetarian-muslim dishes. Say that u suddenly became a muslim and vegetarian (come to think of it vegetarian is muslim). If he wants to be with you, he must convert too.
He might say "But surely Allah doesnt like you to fight cats/dogs/ostrishes/lamas?"
Say something irrelevant and blow it into a big quarrel and continue being irrelevant. Remember everyone cant stand irrelevant ppl.
Say something like "Allah loves cats/dogs/ostrishes/lamas. Allah loves all animals."
If he still stays coz he is polite, cook him everything that everyone hates.
Horrible veggies include:
-More peas
-A Lot of peas
-Anything soggy and overboiled with no spices or sauces.
He should really leave you by now. If he is not marilyn manson and is sincerely willing you accept you even if you changed to become this way, please marry the fella. He is rare

2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
Why don't we seek an Atty for a class action suit against GM for posting erroneous gas mileage? I bought this car BECAUZ 27 highway was posted. I can't get above 21 That's 30% off! I have never owned a car (at least 30, including 5 caddies) that didn't get the posted. I believe it was a known lie to sell cars! I have a 2011 Jag XJ-8L that can get 30 mpg highway it gets 23 around town. It is heavier bigger and does 0-60 under 6seconds!
27 is if you drive only on highway,and highway only,that's flat.
Combined(highway-city) mpg for Cadillac cts is 21.
Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
These estimates are merely that. The way those numbers are figured is regulated by the Gov't and it is not "fudged". They are figured at a straight 55 mph under ideal conditions (downhill with the wind at your back).
Don't waste your time or your money.
Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
Mine gets close to that on the highway.

Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
One thing I'd add here is this: Are you calculating your gas mileage manually, or are you relying on what the trip computer displays on the dash?
It took me a while to realize that the display showing your average fuel economy is displaying a number averaged out over the whole time you've driven the car before resetting it. (So if you never held down a button on the dash to clear it back to 0, it may be displaying a "lifetime average" spanning years of driving!) This is significant because if you're like me, I did a lot of combined highway and stop and go, around town driving, which pretty firmly pinned the average mileage display at around 21-21.5 MPG.
I took a road trip from Missouri to Maryland and it never really changed the display much. Finally, I realized what was going on and reset it when I stopped for gas, and by the time I made it home from Maryland again? It was displaying around 28-29MPG.

Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
Hi George, I completely agree with you and was just looking, if there is a class action suit out already. I have the exact same case and I have no doubt that the milage posted for the car is false. Reason for this is, that I am driving two cars in the same location, same weather and same driving style. While the CTS doesn't come close to its claimed gas milage, the other has always been reasonably on track. I have tested both against one another, city and highway, resetting the board computer just before the test, with matching average speed posted on their computers.
The 2013 CTS should get 18 city, 26 highway and 21mpg average. I get 12 city, 21 highway and 16 average.
The 2007 XC90 Volvo should get 15 city, 21 highway and 16mpg average. I get 12 city, 21-22 highway and 16-17 average.
If the testing method the EPA uses hasn't changed between 2006 and now, both cars should vary similarly from their EPS's estimates, if driven and treated in the same way. But this is definitely not the case with my cars. I had Cadillac check the car after it had plenty of time to be driven in. They found nothing wrong with it and send me home with a printout explaining what could cause the differences.
This would have been sufficient, if I didn't know that none of the reasons mentioned on the printout, caused my Volvo to underperform.
Not that it matters in this comparison, but the Volvo also has 50 more horse power, is a V8 versus the V6 CTS, almost 6 years older and a very heavy SUV versus a station wagon.
If anybody knows about any action in this case, please let me know.
Thank you.

My experience with AWD cars is that they are punishing in stop and go driving. My last car 2006 Acura RL had SH-AWD and I would get as low as 17mpg in city driving and got 27 mpg on highway cruises. The CTS is comparable.

Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
First, welcome to the Cadillac Enthusiasts Forum!
As gohawks63 has noted, these are estimates by the EPA and all auto manufacturers comply to the same rules. The MPG numbers cited here are what you will get IF you drive according the EPA rules, not your rules. Driving on the interstate using cruise control in a FLAT terrain, you will get 27 MPG if driving under 65 MPH. Today's auto transmissions are made to speed your transmission to the highest gear in the fastest time.
Any hill, incline or passing maneuver will rapidly decrease your MPG. Wind, tire air pressure setting, incorrect front end alignment and many other factors will influence your MPG.
Did you notice that you were replying to a thread that was almost 11 months old? 'George' has only made 1 post and he most likely is gone from here and won't be responding. So some searching on the forum and you will see what real world MPG is for a CTS4. Did you buy ONLY for MPG?
Good luck and welcome to the Cadillac Enthusiasts Forum.
Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
It's not a matter of JUST buying for MPG. It's a matter of getting what you paid for, what's been advertised. Seems for the most part the CTS's are running as they should, or as advertised, but there seems to be some that are losing MPG for one reason or another. I'm not interested in a lawsuit at all, but I sure would like to find out why mine isn't running as efficiently as she should. Finally got an average of 17.1 for the tank last time. First time above 15 since I've owned her :/. Getting 13 city with the most tender of foot.

Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
If you want to know what getting hosed feels like, try buying a Ford hybrid. Those engines don't get anywhere near their test numbers in the real world. Off by 30% or more, every time.

Depending on how city is defined, 13 doesn't sound bad for. A 4200 lb car. I never got much above 10 with a 5000 lb truck. Automatics suck for mileage. Below 55 mph weight is one of the biggest factors for mileage and these cars are huge and heavy. Consider my motorcycle gets 30 or less city and it weighs 500 lbs e has a true manual transmission and plenty of power.
Lighter and very low gears which kills highway mileage are key to good mileage in city.
Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
When it starts snowing out I plan on dropping mine off to get it checked out. I wonder if the 20's that are about to go on are going to affect it even more?

Re: 2010 CTS AWD Gas Mileage
I think the guys looking for the class action suit (single post for each of them) would use less fuel if they weren't chasing ambulances at such a high speed...
I'm down to 11.2 l/100 now and almost done my first tank, I will hand calc when I fill it, I get stuck in traffic a lot so not sure how bang on it will be on the DIC.
I also notice my wife can out mile me all day long, the driver has much to do with the mileage IMO

Augusta, Ga--Go to Youtube and type in the name Ahmed Hill. You'll thank me for it. The Aquinas star is a highlight reel pretty much every game out. That highlight reel is leading Aquinas to a possible state title.
The Irish are into the state semifinals and tomorrow travel to Kennesaw to take on St Francis. You see Hill is one of the most sought after juniors in the nation. You name the big time program, they've talked or texted Hill. Yea, winning is on his mind first and foremost, but he doesn't mind all the stuff surrounding his recruitment.
"Sometimes it could, sometimes you could get a big head but I really don't focus on that, I just take it as a complement or something." said Ahmed Hill
Hill has taken his game to another level this year. He's averaging 30 points a ballgame and has become more of a complete player. His ball handling skills has really improved.
"I got better with my ballhandling" said Hill "I got better dribbling, getting to the basket anytime I want to. Last year I probably was just a shooter or I could score in transition, now I can create off of nothing."
Hill says most of the mail he's gotten from colleges, he's yet to open, and puts it in a big box, really a big box. He'll get to it later on, hopefully after winning a state crown.

I have seen many weird things from Japan since hunting for content for Random Good Stuff on the internet. But this is truly bizarre. I just don't get the point of it. Why put so much effort into producing tiny dishes you can't even eat? Maybe to show off your skill levels of your hands. I'm respecting that but now honestly, what's the point? But maybe I'm just wrong and it's an Ant Kitchen or something! There are a bunch of ant cooking videos on Youtube … some are truly freaky like this one.

With as many as 1 in 68 children, more boys than girls, being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as autism's high profile in media of all types, parents of small children are often concerned about whether the disorder may affect their families.
Autism is a developmental disability typified by a combination of communication, behavioral and social-interaction challenges. As a "spectrum" disorder, individuals with autism can have symptoms that range from mild to severe.
While autism is a life-long disorder for individuals, early detection and intervention can mitigate its progress and effects on the person's life. As a result, the earlier a child is diagnosed and treatment started, the better. Ideally, treatment will begin by 18 months.
Established pediatrician relationship
One of the most important things parents can do when it comes to early detection of autism – or any health concern – is establish a relationship with a primary pediatrician who sees the child for most of his or her well visits. This allows the physician to get to know the family dynamic as well as the patient and pick up on any potential red flags along the way.
For instance, the doctor may notice at the two-month well-baby visit that a child has a lack of significant social eye contact. While not alarming on its own, this can be a sign of concern, so the physician's radar will go up and he or she will be closely monitoring the child at future well-child visits.
As the child grows, the doctor will assess his or her global development. At each point, if a deficit in social communication or behavior presents itself, the physician will get more focused in his or her concern and potentially refer the family for further evaluation or even treatment. Referrals can happen as early as nine or 12 months, and definitely by 18 months.
Early intervention, even without diagnosis
The most common age for an autism diagnosis now is three or four, and that's really too late. Birth-to-three programs treat children who are exhibiting signs of autism, and the earlier the intervention begins, the more successful they are in diminishing symptoms.
Because autism has so many facets, diagnosis can sometimes be tricky – particularly before a child is in social situations such as daycare or preschool. Treatment, though, can begin to address certain behaviors even without a diagnosis.
For example, if a child is very sensitive to sensory input and is bothered by seams or tags in clothing or walks on his or her toes, these can be signs of sensory integration dysfunction. This can be a component of autism, but some children have sensory integration concerns without the behavioral and social components that constitute autism.
Still, the child can receive treatment in occupational therapy or speech therapy to address the sensory-integration issues. That treatment needs to happen anyway, and if an autism diagnosis is ultimately made, then the family already has a leg up on intervention.
Five warning signs
Autism comes in many varieties, but there are some general warning signs that doctors and parents can look for:
- Communication deficits such as inappropriate use or interpretation of language.
- Behavioral delays.
- Repetitive behaviors such as hand-wringing or arm-flapping.
- Rigidity in transitions between activities.
- Extreme sensitivity to sensory input/stimulation.
Obviously, if parents have any concerns about their child's development, they should discuss them with their child's pediatrician and determine whether further evaluation is appropriate.
Dr. Kaufman is the father of three grown children and has been a pediatrician in Chicago's northern suburbs for 25 years. In his free time, he is a runner focused on the half-marathon distance. While he treats most pediatric issues, he is passionate about child development and behavior as well as serving uninsured children. He currently treats patients for PediaTrust/Pediatric Associates of Barrington, a new private partnership of seven pediatric practices located in the north and northwest suburbs of Chicago.

Part two of two on Texas Tech running back Baron Batch.After seven months of hard rehab, where some days running back Baron Batch would work out his ankle two or three times a day, the now sophomore is finally seeing some improvement and his faith continues to strengthen along with his ankle."After I run on it a bunch or do a hard workout it kind of swells and gets stiff but it's not hurting like it used to," said Batch. "It used to be to where in the mornings I would not be able to walk on it, I would just have to limp around."But I've started running on it and I'm probably 80% by now. It's feeling pretty good, it's getting there.
