Ben Franklin's Almanacs Edit
Should we add a piece of information about the achievement "Blowing in the Wind" where you have to "Retrieve every page for one of Ben Franklin's Almanacs?"SkytowerC (talk) 10:27, September 30, 2012 (UTC)
Pretty sure Ward voices him in ToKW as well, who added otherwise info and what's the source of it? --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie 16:49, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
- That was me, Kain. If you click on his article link, my source was IMDB. It's not much, but it's all we got :/ Stormbeast ♉ The Helpful Place 16:53, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
Voice ContinuedEdit
On a seperate note, his voice in Assassin's Creed: Rogue was provided by Rick Jones. As shown on IMDb and in the official credits, seen at 47:04, here. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-qHfEI6We0 Roger Murtaugh (talk) 05:10, November 15, 2014 (UTC)
- Jim Ward is also listed in the credits, but I can't argue with the evidence. Just gonna say Ubi needs to get their shit straight, because it clearly -is- Jim Ward reprising the role. --Kainzorus Prime ⚜ Walkie-talkie 20:41, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
Glass HarmonicaEdit
While I don't know about the whole amplification problem that is mentioned, I do know one of the major reasons it didn't catch on was due to the fact that glass at the time contained lead and those who played the Glass Harmonica got lead poisoning, although they didn't understanding it as such at the time. Just that people that played the instrument extensively got REALLY sick. I think some even died too...

Benjamin Franklin did indeed conduct the lighting kite experiment, however an assistant held the kite string and was killed by the lighting strike traveling down said string, through the assistant, and into the ground. ...but hey, science! ...right?
LexieAssassin - 22.214.171.124 06:37, November 27, 2014 (UTC)
Templar Connection?Edit
At the end of AC: Rogue, Shay refers to Benjamin Franklin as, "..., Master Franklin." Does this mean Benjamin is a Templar Master, or a Master in some other secret society?
LexieAssassin - 18.104.22.168 06:37, November 27, 2014 (UTC)
- It's not a concrete confirmation and is speculation nonetheless. Cordo (talk) 06:57, November 27, 2014 (UTC)
Have you not noticed people in the colonies use that honorific quite often? Monro was constantly going "Master Cormac" even when Shay was a greenhorn without ties to the Templars. --Kainzorus Prime ⚜ Walkie-talkie 10:02, November 27, 2014 (UTC)
Unity AppearanceEdit
Anyone care to point out where Franklin appears in Unity? I probably missed it somewhere along the way. MasterKenway (talk) 22:51, May 18, 2015 (UTC)
- Very first memory when Arno finds his father. It's just a conversation between him and another random NPC. He doesn't even have his proper model or the same voice actor, but he's identified by name. --184.108.40.206 22:54, May 18, 2015 (UTC)

For most, the school year starts next week. But classes are already underway at St. Jude's new Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, an idea 15 years in the making, according to the physician who had that idea. The school is a big step in higher education in Memphis and its road to research center status.
The "skinny" repeal of Obamacare comes up short in the U.S. Senate in an after midnight Friday vote in D.C. And it appears U.S. Senators Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee voted for the repeal measure that came up short. Here are the basics early Friday morning from The New York Times.
The Shelby County Democratic Party is almost back as a reconstituted organization and it has a lot of new blood as well as new rules.
But the final verdict on the party's effectiveness in a county where Democrats are the majority is still out even after the Saturday, July 22, party convention.
What do you call it when you expect a lot of trouble coming from a specific direction – with a detailed roadmap -- and a completely different controversy comes in from a different direction, hits and leaves a crater. Whatever you call it, that is what happened to Ole Miss football coach Hugh Freeze Thursday evening. Or did it?
Vince Carter joins Zach Randolph with the Sacramento Kings next NBA season with an $8 million one-year pact for Carter. Still no word on Tony Allen's free agency status as we put this up. The Grizz plan to retire Randolph's jersey.
The Memphis Grizzlies and their notable free agents – JaMychal Green, Zach Randolph, Tony Allen and Vince Carter – have been fairly quiet. That could change at any moment, of course, and Randolph in particular is the subject of speculation that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in pursuit of one of the best sixth men in the NBA last season.
It's like they aren't even looking at the same legislation. That's one explanation of the very different reviews the Senate health care bill got Thursday as it was unveiled in Washington. Illustrating the contrast, the reactions of Republican U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Democratic U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen of Memphis.
During a visit to Memphis in April, Andrew Young was talking with reporters about his lengthy public history – being part of Dr. Martin Luther King's inner circle, a congressman, mayor of Atlanta, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. It was as he talked about King's death in Memphis that Young, without any prompting, talked about a trio of Memphis attorneys – Benjamin Hooks, Russell Sugarmon and A. W. Willis – that were the key to his and King's efforts to get things done in Memphis and the surrounding region.
When the Vanderbilt baseball team finished its season one step short of its goal – the College World Series – there was a sense of profound disappointment for the Commodores.
That's to be expected.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Washington political world is in disarray. Britain's election tumult has scrambled the outlook for Europe. And economies in the United States and abroad are plodding along at a pace that hardly suggests robust health.
Get ready to groove, Memphis, because this week we're welcoming the inimitable Ruthie Foster to town, along with the return of both the Juneteenth Urban Music Festival and the Soulsville Record Swap. Plus, we've got details on the state House District 95 election, free MATA rides and what else you need to know in The Week Ahead...
There was a point on Monday, June 5, when county public works officials trying to prepare a group of 100 young adults for an eight-week summer jobs program thought they might have done their job too well.
There is some debate about how the Memorial Day weekend storm compares to the Ice Storm of 1994 and Hurricane Elvis in 2003. A city public works supervisor who is a veteran of both earlier incidents weighed in this week as Mayor Jim Strickland stopped by Collins Yard to rally the city's troops in the recovery effort. Rodney Wakefield also had a lot to say about what motivates city workers to tackle this hard work in a sweltering spring and do it as quickly and as safely as possible.
At the 2015 SEC Media Days, Tennessee coach Butch Jones referred to his school as "the original Wide Receiver U."
The reference goes back to the days when the Vols were loaded with fast, talented pass receivers on the perimeter. In a heady stretch from 1982-91, UT had six wide receivers selected in the first round of the NFL draft – Anthony Hancock, Willie Gault, Clyde Duncan, Tim McGee, Anthony Miller and Alvin Harper.
Sports is the all-too-easy analogy for the life of any city – let alone Memphis. Some of us immediately and reflexively respond that basketball, the city's most popular spectator sport, is where Memphians put their differences aside and come together.
The Memphis In May International Festival arrives Friday with the Beale Street Music Festival and hopefully with warmer temperatures than the Thursday chill. Meanwhile, RiverPlay, the conversion of Riverside Drive between Jefferson and Court to a pop-up park linking up Memphis and Mississippi River Parks, makes its debut Friday afternoon.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Memphis has added Southwest Mississippi Community College center Mike Parks Jr. to its roster.
Tigers coach Tubby Smith announced the signing of Parks on Wednesday.
It's over. No Game 7 for the Grizz and the off-season begins. Spurs advance after beating the Grizz at the Forum Thursday 103 – 96. But in the process, the Grizz created a chapter in Memphis basketball lore where it is about more than winning on the court.
Everything's fine. It's all good. Don't worry, Tiger fans. That was Tubby Smith's bottom line during his 36-minute press conference with local media on Wednesday, April 26. It was also the basic message from University of Memphis president M. David Rudd, who hired Smith, in a recent radio interview on Sports 56 WHBQ.
Things were supposed to be so easy for Jonathan Kongbo. He arrived at the University of Tennessee last year as the No. 1-ranked junior college prospect in the nation. He had the combination of size and speed that everybody wants in a defensive lineman. The sky was the limit.
Take That For Data, Indeed. The Grizz crack the century mark over the Spurs 105-94 in a motivated Game 3 of the playoff series before a loud and proud Forum. Game 4 is Saturday on Beale. Meanwhile, Markel Crawford chooses. He will be leaving the Tigers basketball program for Ole Miss.
With only two returning scholarship players from last season's team, University of Memphis basketball coach Tubby Smith continues to mine the junior college ranks for players he hopes can contribute immediately.
Shelby County commissioners aren't at budget season just yet, but there are already indications that it is going to be about capital spending.
Commissioners already have a detailed look at what Shelby County Schools will be looking for in the way of funding. And the commission will vote Monday, April 17, on a change in plans for a proposed $120 million refinancing of the county's capital bond debt.
Questions – and to the extent possible – answers about the reeling University of Memphis basketball program.
Q: Is this as simple as athletic director Tom Bowen and President M. David Rudd making a more than $15 million five-year mistake in hiring Tubby Smith?
Look for more details on the specifics of the "Gateway" project to start to emerge now that a crucial if overlooked piece of the geographic puzzle in the north Downtown area has come into public view. The city's largest hotel, also the city's original convention center hotel, is about to change hands and go back to flying the Marriott flag.
A few weeks ago, Tubby Smith stood in front of assembled media and admitted that the University of Memphis basketball job was a bit more than he had calculated.
"You've got a flavor here of expectations," he said, the surprise evident in his voice and on his face.
It looks like Butch Jones isn't the only University of Tennessee coach on the hot seat. The Lady Vols' second-round exit from the NCAA Tournament increased the scrutiny and pressure on Holly Warlick. After five seasons and no trips to the Women's Final Four, the clock is ticking.
Memphis-based FedEx Corp. enjoyed record shipping levels in its peak season for deliveries, but still fell short of third-quarter profit forecasts.
918 Poplar Ave. Memphis, TN 38105
Project Cost: $12 million
Owners: Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and FedEx
In its Tuesday, March 21, earnings call, FedEx reported net income of $562 million, or $2.07 per share, for the fiscal quarter that ended Feb. 28. That was an increase from $507 million, or $1.84 per share, for the same period last year.
Republican state Senator Brian Kelsey of Germantown had a very good week in the state capitol this week. His school voucher bill got unanimous votes in House and Senate committee this week despite a tide of opposition from local elected officials and leaders including fellow legislators in the Shelby County delegation and all seven public school districts in Shelby County including the six suburban school systems.
NASHVILLE – The chairwoman of the House Transportation Subcommittee is defiant in her handling of legislation that could have derailed Gov. Bill Haslam's fuel-tax plan, a high-profile measure on the panel's calendar again Wednesday, March 1.
I am not going to be one of those people who at this late date in the history of television dramas based on real people points out every departure from reality. The first episode of the CMT television series "Sun Records" Thursday was a scene-setter and introduction of sorts to an ensemble cast with plenty of opportunities to name that place in Memphis. That usually means a pretty complex story line to come and there are more than enough memorable characters in the story of Sun.
When Wessman Development came to town last year with the idea of a boutique hotel, the Palm Springs, California company was part of the flood of smaller hotel projects Memphis was seeing and is still seeing. Then the company added another hotel and just this month the redevelopment of a building on Madison west of Second Street as apartments with retail on the ground floor. In a very short period of time, Wessman has had a lot of plans for Memphis.
Shelby County Commissioners consider their options Monday, Feb. 6, on a stalled Planned Parenthood grant for a free condom distribution program.
The options include going to court and a clash with state government over the $115,000 pass through of state money.
David Bronczek will be promoted to the role of president and chief operating officer of FedEx Corp. 11 months ahead of schedule, the shipping giant announced Monday, Jan. 23.
Maybe it is your spouse's Christmas party. Or a local business conference and no one else from your company is attending. When you give the room the once-over, it's full of unfamiliar faces.
After touring the National Civil Rights Museum Saturday, Jan. 14, before a forum on race and sports, journalist and commentator Marc Spears had an immediate thought as the panel discussed whether racism is becoming institutionalized in America.
While the NBA moved the Grizzlies' 15th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Game to Sunday night, Jan. 15, the game against the Chicago Bulls will be televised on ESPN and the team will use Monday to offer service to the community.
Around this time each year, everyone tends to start fetishizing the blank slate a bit, with its attendant allure of reinvention and that sweeping away of the old order to make way for what comes next.
Since becoming controlling owner of the Titans in March 2015, it has become customary for Amy Adams Strunk to spend a half-hour or so on the sideline visiting with coaches and players prior to games.
As always, you can categorize the sports year by the wins and losses. By the Grizzlies making a sixth straight playoff appearance and by the University of Memphis football team going to a third consecutive bowl game. And by the Big 12 eliminating U of M from the expansion process before the league ditched the idea altogether.
Tennessee football coach Butch Jones has plenty of winning to do next year. For starters, UT (8-4, 4-4 SEC) needs to win the Dec. 30 Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville against Nebraska (9-3, 6-3 Big Ten).
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – A school bus driver who authorities say was speeding along a narrow, winding road when he wrapped his vehicle around a tree was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide in the deaths of five children.
Tennessee House Democrats will have to start calling themselves the "Fighting 25," down from the "Fighting 26," after dropping a district in the battle to regain relevance statewide.
With a set of route and schedule changes about to hit the streets in December, the Memphis Area Transit Authority is embarking on a larger more comprehensive change in the city's bus system. It is nothing less than a rebuilding of the city's public transportation system that starts the planning process in November.
Once the ribbons were cut, the speeches made and all of the players on both sides of the river were thanked, Sunday was the day those who put the Big River Crossing project in motion waited for to see what the public's verdict would be on the boardwalk crossing the Mississippi River.
David Fizdale is a first-time NBA head coach. Tubby Smith is a college coach with a Hall-of-Fame resume.
In Memphis, on the eve of the 2016-2017 NBA and college basketball seasons, they also share this in common: They are leaders that are worlds apart from their most immediate predecessors. Their mere presence, before the season even tips off, has changed the hopes, dreams and expectations for the city's hoops fans.
It wasn't difficult to figure out why the Big 12 – or the Confused 10, if you prefer – started down the road of exploring expansion.
It turned out to be a road to nowhere – a twisting, turning road with many stops to ask for directions – and finally the league announced on Monday, Oct. 17, that it would, in fact, not expand.
Memphis 34 –Temple 27 Thursday evening at the Liberty Bowl and on ESPN. Whatever happened during halftime, the Tigers were a very different team from the first half when they emerged.
A big night in Nashville and Memphis for the issue of marijuana decriminalization. An ordinance to allow cops to write a ticket with a $50 fine for possession of less than half an ounce of pot won final approval by the Metro Nashville Council hours after the Memphis City Council approved second of three readings of a similar ordinance. The Memphis action sets the stage for a final vote at City Hall on this come October 4.
The University of Memphis is not one of 11 schools still under consideration for Big 12 expansion, according to a report from espn.com on Friday, Sept. 2.

Editor's note: Nashville sports correspondent Dave Link has been accurate in predicting season outcomes for the Tennessee Vols in recent years. His 2016 season predictions, released just before press time, culminates with an SEC Championship appearance. Here's his take on the season…
Eighteen people working in Memphis will bring their innovations to a global audience at the upcoming TEDxMemphis conference.
TEDx is an independent spin-off of the popular TEDTalks series, where thought leaders in the technology, entertainment and design sectors share their work and vision with a live audience.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – In some parts of the U.S., the thrill rides that hurl kids upside down, whirl them around or send them shooting down slides are checked out by state inspectors before customers climb on. But in other places, they are not required to get the once-over.
So as it turns out, the FedEx St. Jude Classic in June was a missed opportunity. No one in the gallery shouted, "University of Memphis – Big 12!" The tournament's "Hush Y'all" signs were obeyed and to no good end.
Former U.S. Attorney David Kustoff claimed the Republican nomination for Tennessee's 8th Congressional district Thursday, Aug. 4, in a 15-county contest in which the eastern parts of Shelby County played a decisive role.
A rift within the Tennessee Republican Party, whether a tempest in a teapot or the early signs of implosion, isn't likely to hit the big tent party hard at the polls this fall.
But make no mistake, there is some trouble in paradise.
Jamie Elkington has been promoted to director of communications at ABO Marketing & Communications. In this position, she will direct and implement public relations plans for the nonprofit and business organizations the firm serves.
If all goes according to plan on the Aug. 4 election day, Linda Phillips hopes the result is that you don't see her in any of the reporting on election night.
More than 800 local attorneys have weighed in on the judicial races on the Aug. 4 Shelby County ballot.
The Memphis Bar Association Judicial Qualification Poll asks attorneys which candidate is best qualified for a judicial post. The participation ranged between 818 and 873 votes per question.
Not a lot of films have their world premieres in Memphis. But if it is summer and the Grizzlies have a crucial player becoming a free agent, then it's time for a Craig Brewer short film.
More than 800 local attorneys have weighed in on the judicial races on the Aug. 4 Shelby County ballot. The Memphis Bar Association Judicial Qualification Poll asks attorneys which candidate is best qualified for a judicial post.
It's not the basics that are keeping Shelby County Commissioners from a majority vote on school funding in the new operating budget.
It is the broader questions and budget assumptions some commissioners want to change in the process.
"… That cowboy by her side was only five-foot-three/So I moved in, I never thought he'd dare to stand his ground/Only to discover that he was sitting down."(c) Tim Bays and David Kent
Shelby County commissioners could wrap up most of the formalities Monday of their budget season.
But it will probably take a while.
The biggest issue of the season – school funding – appeared to be resolved with a compromise last week in committee sessions.
Every year Americans make $46 billion worth of payday loan transactions, with more than 40 percent of these loans processed online. Payday loans allow borrowers to withdraw cash anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks prior to receiving their paycheck, with the intent to pay it back with interest and fees when they receive their next paycheck.
For the first time in years, the Peabody Place mall was packed. On June 3, hundreds of ServiceMaster employees and a handful of business and government leaders ushered in One ServiceMaster Center, a multimillion-dollar headquarters for Memphis' fourth-largest public company.
A week that will likely end with the funeral of a Memphis Police officer began with a discussion about violent crime that is even at this early point proving to be different from the past discussions we've had at times like these.
An after-midnight stampede on Beale Street a week after one person was killed and two other people were wounded in a random shooting a block north of the entertainment district.
Summer is here by tradition if not by the calendar just yet. And Downtown there is already a debate behind the frequent declaration that Downtown is the safest area of the city.
The slogan still resonates: When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
All the world came to know that was Federal Express. I can remember knowing it was Federal Express.
Wading in on Big 12 expansion, steroids in baseball and a few basketball questions ….
I applaud University of Memphis president David Rudd's efforts to get the Tigers into the Big 12, should the league expand. In a short time, Rudd has been a strong influence on U of M athletics and he understands the bigger picture – that what is good for the athletics department will, in many cases, be good for the university and the city.
Two years after the big ballot of judicial positions that are up for election once every eight years, there are four judicial races on the Aug. 4, 2016 ballot.
The two races for Bartlett Municipal Court Judge and races for Shelby County Circuit Court Judge and Shelby County Chancery Court reflect a last-minute ballot switch by the Shelby County Election Commission as well as continued turnover in countywide courts.
For several years now, Memphis hasn't been home to a unified hub of startup companies and activities so much as a collection of startup archipelagos, the disparate factions of activity sometimes duplicating the work of other groups.
Wearing a University of Memphis lapel pin on his suit jacket, Tubby Smith was introduced on the floor of FedExForum Thursday, April 14, as the 18th head coach in Tigers history.
University president M. David Rudd called it a "historic hire" for the school and said Smith arrived as the "most accomplished coach" to lead the program (take that, John Calipari).
It was just four weeks ago that all of this talk about change at the top of the Tiger basketball chart was put to rest. Coach Josh Pastner's performance was reviewed by the University of Memphis administration and he was staying at least for another season. Four weeks to the day of that announcement, Pastner is the new coach at Georgia Tech and we are in the first day of the Tubby Smith era at the U of M.
University president M. David Rudd called it a "historic hire" for the school and said Smith arrived as the "most accomplished coach" in the program's history (take that, John Calipari).
It started immediately, before the hiring was even official. The audible sighs on sports talk radio, the Twitter whining, and the figurative eye-rolling.
Tubby Smith? Really? That old guy?
If they didn't call him "old" outright, they inferred it in every way imaginable.
The Tigers basketball grapevine is nothing but Tubby Smith as of Wednesday when the speculation was joined by torrent of rumors about contact between the Texas Tech coach and the University of Memphis.Smith has now acknowledged he's talking with the U of M.More background on Smith from The Sporting News and Mike DeCourcy, a former sports reporter at The Commercial Appeal, that came out before everything went Tubby here.
Josh Pastner is officially the new head coach at Georgia Tech and the University of Memphis is officially in the coach search business.
ATLANTA (AP) – Josh Pastner isn't promising a quick fix as Georgia Tech's basketball coach.
Quick question about the Titans: Who has the most to prove?
Is it Mike Mularkey, a two-time loser as a head coach?
Is it Jon Robinson, a first-time general manager?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Derided by critics as everything from unconstitutional to sacrilegious, Tennessee lawmakers nevertheless plowed ahead with designating the Holy Bible as the state's official book.
Lots of smoke. But is there a fire? That is the issue at the University of Tennessee, where a Title IX lawsuit alleges the university has a "hostile sexual environment" and violates federal laws dealing with student discipline hearings for sexual assault cases, especially those involving student-athletes.
Shelby County Commissioner Steve Basar has called off his plan to run in the crowded Republican primary for the 8th Congressional District, but Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell has pulled his petition to join the same crowded field.
Shelby County Commissioners take up the second of three readings Monday, March 28, of an ordinance that would ask voters to do away with term limits for the commission, the office of Shelby County Mayor and five other countywide elected positions.
You keep thinking the story can't get worse, and then it does. What we have here is an ongoing public relations disaster that is the University of Memphis athletic department as it pertains to all matters regarding the men's basketball program.
The two municipal judges in Bartlett learned this week that they have races to run on the August ballot, not the November ballot they were scheduled to run on.
The addition of two races to the Aug. 4 Shelby County ballot comes two weeks before the April 7 filing deadline for the nonpartisan local races as well as the state and federal primary contests.
Some Shelby County Commissioners are skeptical about City Hall's estimate of how much city government would lose in revenue if a deannexation bill in the Tennessee Legislature becomes law.
The commission's discussion at Wednesday, March 16, committee sessions came as Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland was in Nashville to lobby against the bill in the state Senate.
The presidential contenders have moved on to other states and closed up their Memphis storefronts.
And the excitement of the national campaigns that burst into town all in one weekend just before the March 1 Tennessee primaries has shifted to the same frenetic political activity in other states.
Longtime nonprofit administrator Diane Duke recently took the helm of Friends for Life as its new executive director. In her new role, the Los Angeles native leads and oversees an organization that's helping those affected by HIV/AIDS through the provision of education, housing, food, transportation and healthy life skills training.
David Leon's medical device startup is the latest addition to a rapidly expanding health care, biotech and life sciences landscape in the Memphis area.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Since the Federal Reserve raised interest rates from record lows last month, the global picture has darkened. Stock markets have plunged. Oil prices have skidded. China's leaders have struggled to steer the world's second-biggest economy.

ST HELENS College hosted a science skills show to mark Healthcare Science Week.
The Skills Show, held in partnership with St Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust, brought together healthcare professionals, industry experts and over 500 young people from St Helens College, Byrchall High School, Cansfield High School and St Helens College 14-16 Academy.
Guest speaker talks were presented by leading professionals, including Cliff Kirby, CEO of NeedleSmart, and Farah Farzana, a fourth-year medical student who is currently completing her Masters in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine at Manchester University.
Gina Rodgers, cardio respiratory manager at St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "It's important for young people to know the wide range of opportunities available to them and that it's not only doctors and nurses that work in the NHS - there are many other careers to explore."
During the event, St Helens College dental nursing apprentices also had the opportunity to demonstrate how to create moulds used by dentists and orthodontists to take impressions whilst health and social care tutor Pat Walsh wowed audiences with live heart dissection demonstrations.
Clare Webster, head of health sciences, care and public services at St Helens College, said: "The vibe throughout the event was infectious and the intrigue created by exhibitors and key note speakers was palpable."

The importance of everyday triumphs
Am I the only one who feels we are living in a time of hysteria kicked along by a culture of complaint?
Our religious institutions are supposedly crumbling, with much coverage of the papal enclave using the phrase "Catholicism in crisis". Meanwhile, our other great church - sport - is in "chaos"; with its gods stood down and investigated for possibly cheating with drugs (cyclists and footballers) or being juvenile jerks (swimmers).
Thankfully, I prefer netball, which, for now at least, is scandal free.
It's hard to stay calm even if you don't believe the hype. Even a lover of political intrigue, satire and a major drama queen like me finds it wearing.
All the endless adrenalin depletes the system and the brutality of public debate is depressing. Not to mention the manufactured outrage.
Perhaps our expectations are too large or our desire to pull people down is too great. Either way, the degradation of public life seems like an endless slide into the dark side of our psyche.
In some ways I'm glad we are starting to expect better behaviour from society's winners. It's about time our leaders and stars were called to account for corruption, hypocrisy and bad behaviour.
But to keep myself calm in the chaos, I also like to consider those who are decent and giving, caring and compassionate, and all too often ignored.
These include the childcare workers and teachers who help us raise our kids, the nurses who look after our bodies when we are vulnerable and ill. They are the police and social workers fighting paedophilia and crime, and the architects who design buildings that lift our spirits and tread softly upon the earth.
There are the writers who hurt our hearts and challenge our minds, and the scientists and doctors who search for solutions to disease.
They are the volunteers who work with the vulnerable, the foster parents who take in troubled kids and the local church ministers who feed the poor. All people committed to bettering the world and the lives of others.
These are all big jobs with a small profile. But whatever we do, whoever we are, life is full of small daily triumphs that are also easily overlooked.
As the pace of change increases, we often feel like we are running to stand still. On such days I find my finest achievement can be keeping up and not falling face first.
In such moments we need to celebrate small victories - even if only to break free from the spiral of negativity.
When we see the wealthiest in our society at war with their family, we should celebrate being together (or apart) in a loving way. At a time when mental illness is on the rise we should celebrate those battling to get or stay well.
In a time of intense competition and fast-tracked childhoods we should celebrate collaboration and those who slow down to enjoy the journey of life.
It's actually life affirming to focus on small, everyday triumphs.
To celebrate what we did well, with love, kindness and compassion. Or the thrill we receive seeing others succeed with integrity intact. If we don't cling to these small celebrations, life can be too overwhelming.
I'd love to hear yours, but here are some small yet significant triumphs I've recently had; my revelations of joy.
- The thrill of seeing my niece take her first steps; the waddle looked like a cross between an angel and a drunk.
- Watching my daughter ride to school on her own for the first time; her face lit up with the thrill of independence, strength, pride and an enthusiasm for taking on the world.
- Hearing about a friend's ability to finally take on her bullying boss.
- The autistic child I watched calm himself with deep breaths to avoid a meltdown.
- The woman I saw at the shops bend to help a fallen old man; tenderly, calmly, with care and love.
- My partner's ability to come home after a shocking day, throw off his bad mood and be tender to those he loves.
- My triumph in running twice around an oval without dying.
It's small moments in life that make a whole. Ways of living that don't involve lying, cheating or belittling others. These are the moments that make a sweet life. If not a great one.
I'd love to hear more. Over to you ... What's an everyday success that you celebrate?

Webmaster abandoned me
I looked at this page for help so pls don't send me back, it's way out of my league, techno wise.
I run a business called Around the World Communication using a WordPress blog that was set up for me and designed by MeowDesign in the UK. However, the owner of the company at Meow has shut down and (I think she is ill) has not transferred my codes or passwords to get into my site ATWCOMM.CO.UK and AroundtheWorldCommunication.co.uk and the same sites in france (.fr) in order to update them. My site is thus totally out of date and i desperately need help in 1) getting the codes to my site and 2) a mini-tutorial in how to update the blog entries. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much, Suzanne Champion,[email redacted]
NB I have tried and tried to contact the original designer but to no avail :(((

Pastor Philip Hoppe has made a very nice use of Prezi to introduce people to the Small Catechism. Any Lutheran will find handy uses for this with fellow church members, family, friends, online acquaintances, and others.
Transcript of The Small Catechism
A book of questions and answers that answers briefly the question, "What does the Bible teach?"
Written by Martin Luther because he found most people did not know the basics of the faith.
Written for fathers and pastors to teach their familes and flocks.
What is the Small Catechism?
Shows how God's people are to live.
Reveals that we do not live as we should.
Leads us to despair of earning our own salvation.
Leaves us in need of a Savior outside of ourselves.
The Ten Commandments
Reveals to us our Savior God
Reveals to us that he is Triune, three persons in one God.
The Father creates, The Son redeems, The Holy Spirit sanctifies
The Creed
Teaches us about life with God.
Teaches us how to talk to our Heavenly Father.
Tells us what is important in this world and the next.
Teaches us how God first brings us the salvation Jesus won for us at the cross.
Reveals that our old man has been killed.
Reveals that a new man has been raised up to live a new life.
The Sacrament of
Holy Baptism
Reminds us what to do with the sins that continue after Baptism
Reminds us that pastors are given to us in order that forgiveness might be delivered to us so that we can live with a clear conscience.
Assures us that Christ comes to us in his Body and Blood
Reveals to us why weekly gathering to receive this gift is critical to faith.
Proclaims Christ's death until He comes.

So back with the "New 52" relaunch, DC Comics announced that all their print books would be available on the same day as a digital comics as well. Unfortunately, in their fear of a backlash from comic book shops, they decided to price the digital books the same as the print ones. And let's be honest, for an entire generation used to the 99 cent price point for songs and other digital works, $2.99 is just not going to prove all that popular.
Their next step was to debut some books in the digital format first, to be followed by the print version (Batman Beyond, etc.)
Well now DC is taking the next step in their digital comics initiative by introducing brand new Batman material in digital format for just 99 cents. Titled Legends of the Dark Knight, the stories take place outside the regular series continuity, and feature an impressive list of well-known creators:
Kicking off the first chapter is the all-star line-up of LOST scribe Damon Lindelof with artwork by the critically acclaimed Jeff Lemire. The line-up for the first six chapters of LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT is as follows:
- June 7 – "The Butler Did It" written by Damon Lindelof with artwork by Jeff Lemire
- June 14 – "All of the Above" written by Jonathan Larsen with artwork by JG Jones
- June 21– "The Crime Never Committed" written by Tom Taylor with artwork by Nicola Scott and Wayne Faucher
- June 28 – "Crisis of Identity" Part 1 written by B. Clay Moore with artwork by Ben Templesmith
- July 5 – "Crisis of Identity" Part 2 written by B. Clay Moore with artwork by Ben Templesmith
- July 12 – "Crisis of Identity" Part 3 written by B. Clay Moore with artwork by Ben Templesmith
I'd call that a good start.

The Vinarchiste of Bergerac
Luc de Conti's white mission
There was a memo that never made it to Luc de Conti in Ribagnac, France: the one that said If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
At 53, after nearly 30 vintages, de Conti is considered a leader for both quality wines and organic farming in southwest France's red-dominated Bergerac region.
But he isn't satisfied.
"Yes, we can make good red wines here, but great red wines are difficult," says de Conti, standing amid his vines on a limestone plateau about 50 miles east of Bordeaux. "Here it's easy to make great whites with character."
Hence, de Conti's latest mission: replacing his Cabernet, Merlot and Malbec with Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle. His family's 120 acres of estate vineyards are now 60 percent white varieties, and he is going to plant more.
"For me, the greatest potential for a grand vin is Sauvignon," says de Conti, his green eyes full of evangelical fervor... Read the full blog at Wine Spectator

I came across very unique and expensive perfumes that I can afford but I can't justify, am not a royalty or high income or a celebrity , but I have been curious about them to the point of maybe investing in one, can you share what you use as a girl or a guy and have you ever receive compliments about it? This line of perfumes according to the review is up to 5 stars, but also is up to 3 to 4 zeros in price.

Contrary to popular belief, the name of our Minerva Dairy Amish Roll Butter doesn't derive from the people who do the churning. Curious? Here's the scoop …
Curious about where the name Amish Roll #Butter came from? Be in the know here: http://ow.ly/GfTI3032DrD http://ctt.ec/Ojiab
The Minerva Dairy Family began making butter in 1894 using a small 100-gallon wooden churn, producing about 400 pounds of butter each batch. This method of small-batch, slow churn butter was sold in bulk pieces of miscellaneous sizes, but with World War II came the need to start rationing.
Why Hand Rolled?
To meet the nation's rationing policy of two-pound butter allotments, we needed a more consistent method of measurement. By adopting the hand rolling technique used by a local Amish dairy farm, we were able to form rolls of butter with exacting measurements.
Get Real with Real Butter
And today, while our 84 percent butterfat butter doesn't involve the Amish, we still make our butter using milk from pasture-raised cows raised on family farms. More than 70 years later, we're proud to continue the tradition of small batch, slow churned, hand rolled butter.
Amish Butter is a category all its own just like Commodity Butter and European Butter. Today, you can look for it in the convenience of rolls and quarter sticks as well!
Fast Facts:
• Commodity Butter is made with 80% butterfat and is mass produced.
• European Butter is made with 82% butterfat and is mass produced in both Europe and the U.S.
• Amish Butter is made with 84% butterfat, is made using artisanal methods and is slow churned in small batches for superior texture and flavor.
Authenticity In All We Do
From our pasture-raised dairy to our slow churn process to our unique wax-paper packaging, you know you're getting true Amish Roll Butter. The name Minerva Dairy is synonymous with authenticity, and if that doesn't convince you to give it a try, here are four reasons to commit to higher butterfat.
Try one recipe using Minerva Dairy Amish Roll Butter and you'll know there's no better way to go! Shop it now.

After an 11 hour drive, I checked in late for an overnight stay; the staff member (Falla) was rude and incompetent overall.
I saw him smoking outside as I walked in, and had to wait a few minutes before he decided to come in to check me in.
As he was trying to check me in, he couldn't figure out whether the room he assigned to me was occupied or not! So, he gave me the key and asked ME to check whether it was occupied while he would wait at the front desk!!
I refused and told him he should come with me to which he agreed.
The room turned out to be unoccupied, and unclean. It smelled like rotten fish - or worse!!
To make matters worse, there are noisy neighbors in a room next door having a party, AND the kitchen sink is DIRTY, there is hair in the bathroom sink and there was used TP in the toilet. I didn't even have the chops to look at the bath tub.
The room feels so dirty that I don't feel like taking my shoes off!
I'm so appalled that I'm writing this after my late check in at 2 am due to the misleading rating on Trip Advisor that led me here in the first place!!
Avoid under any circumstances!!
A very exhausted and upset customer.

Treasures of Tuscany includes images from our September, 2013 visit to the region. We stayed in Lucca, Siena, and Florence with day trips to Pisa, Carrara, Pienza, Montepulciano, and San Gimignano.

About the Creator
Bird watching, cultural travel, and photography have taken my wife and me to six continents and over fifty countries. Exploring the world has also helped me greater appreciate the diversity and unique beauty of our home in Grapevine, Texas. I enjoy photographing the natural world of flora and fauna, landscapes, and people. As my skills as a photographer have increased, I have became more interested in the details of composition, lighting, and photographing different subjects. Though initially reluctant to photograph people because it seemed too intrusive, I now especially enjoy the challenge of capturing an expression, mood, or perspective in candid street portraits. My coffee table books attempt to capture and present all of these elements in an aesthetically pleasing way. I offer photography classes through the Grapevine and Southlake, TX Park and Recreation departments and also offer small group and private lessons.

New Coastguard VHF Channels
Taken from the YBW website...
Those wanting maritime safety information or radio medical advice from the UK Coastguard will soon have to use new VHF channel numbers.
Currently, VHF channels 23, 84 and 86 are used for these two services. But from September 2017, boat owners, shipping companies and anyone who puts out to sea will have to use VHF 62, 63 and 64.
The use of VHF Channel 10 for MSI and pollution control (back up) is unchanged.

* Three Chinese ships leave waters in afternoon
* Japan lodges official protest
* Taiwan ships to arrive later in day
Three Chinese ships briefly entered what Japan considers its territorial waters near disputed islands in the East China Sea on Monday, prompting an official protest from Tokyo and renewed diplomatic efforts to cool tensions between the rivals.
In a move that could further complicate the territorial row that is threatening relations between Asia's biggest economies, a group of fishermen from Taiwan -- which also claims the rocky isles -- said as many as 100 boats escorted by 10 Taiwan Coast Guard vessels would arrive in the area later on Monday.
China's Xinhua news agency said in the morning that two civilian surveillance ships were undertaking a "rights defence" patrol near the islands, citing the State Oceanic Administration, which controls the ships. One fishery patrol vessel was also detected inside waters claimed by Japan.
Japan lodged an official protest.
By afternoon, all three Chinese vessels had moved further away, the Japanese Coast Guard said.
Sino-Japanese relations deteriorated sharply after Japan bought the islands, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, earlier this month, sparking anti-Japan protests across China.
"In recent days, Japan has constantly provoked incidents concerning the Diaoyu islands issue, gravely violating China's territorial sovereignty," China's Xinhua news agency said.
The ship patrols were intended to exercise China's "administrative jurisdiction" over the islands, it said.
"Following the relevant laws of the People's Republic of China, (the ships) again carried out a regular rights defence patrol in our territorial waters around the Diaoyu islands."
Sino-Japanese ties have long been plagued by China's memories of Japan's military aggression in the 1930s and 1940s and present rivalry over regional influence and resources.
Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Chikao Kawai will visit China on Monday to discuss Sino-Japanese relations with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun, the Foreign Ministry said.
The arrival of Taiwan vessels in the area could complicate the potentially fraught game of cat-and-mouse being played near the islands, where mainland China has launched an effort to assert sovereignty by sending government ships into the disputed waters.
Taiwan television showed the boats leaving Suao port in heavy rain, sporting banners and large Taiwan flags.
The Taiwan fishing group said their boats would sail around the islands to reassert their right to fish there and did not rule out trying to land on the rocky isles.
Taiwan Defence Minister Kao Hua-chu told parliament that the military was ready for any contingency, but did not elaborate.
Taiwan has traditionally had friendly ties with Japan, but the two countries have long squabbled over fishing rights in the area. Beijing deems Taiwan to be an illegitimate breakaway province, and the two sides both argue they have inherited China's historic sovereignty over the islands, which are near rich fishing grounds and potentially huge oil and gas reserves.
The latest flare-up in tensions over the islands comes at a time when both China and Japan confront domestic political pressures. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's government faces an election in months, adding pressure on him not to look weak on China.
China's Communist Party is preoccupied with a leadership turnover, with President Hu Jintao due to step down as party leader at a congress that could open as soon as next month.
Noda leaves for New York on Monday to take part in the annual gathering of the U.N. General Assembly, and attention will focus on whether he refers to the dispute.
Worries are simmering that the row could hurt the economic ties that closely bind China and Japan. China is Japan's largest trading partner. In 2011, their bilateral trade grew 14.3 percent in value to a record $345 billion.
Tokyo's Nikkei China 50 index, composed of stocks of Japanese companies with significant exposure to the world's second-largest economy, shed about 1.3 percent on concerns over the dispute.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch said Japanese carmakers saw a 90 percent drop in showroom traffic and a 60 percent fall in sales in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong, the largest market for Japanese brands, since the beginning of the anti-Japan protests.

A relatively recent development, luxury hybrid cars pretty much prove Honda and Toyota were on the right track when they introduced hybrid automobiles in the latter part of the 20th century. Honda was the first to market with its two-seat Insight hybrid, but Toyota captured the market with its more practical four-seat Prius.
Perhaps as a result of this, Toyota is the world's acknowledged hybrid leader. Thus, it should come as no surprise to learn Toyota products dominate this list of hybrid luxury cars with no fewer than four of the ten.
While seemingly oxymoronic, luxury hybrids enable drivers to be more fuel-efficient and emit fewer pollutants, while still enjoying all the benefits of driving a luxurious automobile.
What follows is our list of luxury hybrid cars

5 Tips For Your Best Relationship
By MH Staff - Posted on 11th March 2012
Everything you've been told about sex and relationships is wrong. This is the attraction of opposites…
1 Fighting
Myth: A happy couple never argues
Reality: Fight smart and fight right to get your way
You've met them – the saccharine couple who have "never had an argument". You hate them. And rightly so. But in a week-long sex-drought after a huge argument, you can't help but think that maybe Mr and Mrs Candyfloss have it right. Well, they don't. "Lack of conflict means you are not dealing with the things that really matter," says Orbuch. If you can't find something to disagree on then you are deliberately
or subconsciously ignoring crucial concerns. "It's how you manage the conflict that is key to your relationship," Orbuch explains. "Men and women process conflict in very different ways. Men are better at dealing with arguments while doing an activity, like watching TV." But bring up your grievance during Grey's… and you reduce your chances of coming out on top. "Women respond better to conflict in 'face-to-face' situations – where no outside factors interfere with your discussion." So, choosing a moment that will appeal to her desire to focus will strengthen your hand.Even so, spring it on her in the bedroom, when you're both tired after a long day, and you'll only weaken it. So schedule a time that will work for both of you instead. "Planning an argument makes sense," says Orbuch. "It allows you to work out what to say and how best to make your point." If the atomic clock is still moving swiftly around to midnight then winding it in for 30 minutes will put you back in control. "Her anger takes about half an hour to subside," explains Orbuch. Simply agree to start the process afresh in half an hour. Getting your timing right and knowing which wires to cut will get you the most desirable result: a controlled explosion with no collateral damage. And then the bigger bang of making up, obviously…
2 Kids
Myth: Having a kid will bring us closer together
Reality: A drink after work is your best bet
If something is broken you get the right materials and then you fix it. That is the time-honoured male way of things, and has seen every man stomp out to the garage to find the right-sized piece of wood. However, this very same process is often applied to repair a broken-down relationship. Except the thing you fix it with is a real-life baby human, and the piece of wood you need is a lot closer to hand. And equals a whole lot more sleep-deprivation. "When we looked at relationship and marriage happiness, we found that it decreased after children were born," says Orbuch. So why won't a little monster fill your relationship with joy? Simple – adding something extra to your relationship, means you are suddenly unable to devote as much time and energy to your partner. "The same thing happens on a smaller scale when your new job demands all your attention," says Orbuch. "It reduces your 'marriageable happiness' until you get the hang of your new role." Parenthood, it's fair to say, is very different to pulling a few all-nighters to impress your new MD. So before you take the plunge, you need a litmus test to determine your relationship's capacity to cope with the nappy work. "People often suggest getting a pet, and this actually does make some sense – the shared responsibility will test your relationship in the right way," says Orbuch. "But a new hobby that is relatively greedy with your time and attention will do the same job." Add something new to your day-to-day, whether it's a new sport or a more time-intensive gym regime, to discover whether you're ready to concentrate on everything but each other until the little one grows up.
3 Cheating
Myth: Cheat and she'll never forgive you
Reality: You can get away with it - if you want to
Men, like to think that "everyone makes mistakes". She truly believes that "once a cheat, always a cheat". But wherever the blame lies, you can rebuild even the most fiercely burnt bridges, if the two of you are prepared to get your fingers singed. "Trust can be rebuilt but it takes both partners' commitment," says Orbuch. The common view is that you should simply beg for forgiveness. But the key question is not whether she'll forgive you – it's whether you want to be forgiven. You should detach yourself from any guilt and decide whether you are ready to put all that's necessary into negotiations. "Assess your level of 'benevolence'," says Orbuch. "If you don't think you can put her needs first – what she would like for dinner as opposed to what you want; where she would like to go on Saturday night – then you should not seek to rebuild trust." If you're lacking in this department, according to Orbuch, it's probably the reason you made the "mistake" in the first place. So move on. If you are feeling benevolent, then use physical communication to turn "sorry" into something truly persuasive. Follow Orbuch's three-step guide to wipe your slate clean with clinical efficiency:
1. Come clean "Go to your partner and own up. Women mistrust an apology if they've had to ask for it, so don't wait for her to discover your misdemeanour."
2. Be serious "Being earnest is a much better policy than playing for laughs. Guarantee a quicker win by playing it straight."
3. Front and centre "Non-verbal cues are crucial. Make sure your body is 'fully present', so not hanging off the side of the bed, or in some way putting part of you out of her field of vision."
4 Compatibility
Myth: Opposite types work best together
Reality: Look for a woman made in your image
Animal magnetism may be the force that brings you and the brunette from accounts crashing together, but having bigger things in common will keep you locked in that sex-filled field. "If you differ on big issues, such as children or religion, then you are more likely to experience conflict and tension," says Orbuch. Neither of which count as foreplay. Next come the "compatibility factors". Do an audit of your own attitudes to work out whether she is worth a long-term emotional investment. "Note the attributes you use to describe yourself," says Orbuch. "If you put 'active', 'successful' and 'physical' then look for those traits." That done, the crucial thing is to integrate her into your hobbies while making sure you
have time for yourself. "The ideal is to have 'interdependence' not 'independence' – which means making her feel in some way involved in the things you do without her," says Orbuch. Ask her along to a social with your touch teammates to get your Sundays back. "She will feel more mentally at ease with what you're doing because of her connection to the people and places involved." Work out whether she's similar enough to be a long-term partner, then keep her away from the things that you like doing on your own. Sounds attractive, doesn't it?
5 Talking
Myth: Talking things over is the key to a healthy relationship.
Reality: Talk less, to use relationship cheat as a precision weapon.
We blame America. Specifically American television. From Dr Phil and Oprah to Friends and He's Just Not That Into You, women have been repeatedly beaten over the head with the "communication is everything" schtick. And they like it. A lot. As a result, accepted wisdom says any problems exist because you haven't talked about them enough. Sorry, America, but no. "My 22-year study proved that men have a very different psychological tolerance for how much they can discuss their relationship," says Orbuch. "When guys hear 'let's talk about us', it was found to have a negative effect on their levels of joy." So it's definitely not good to talk too much. You're not lazy or emotionally retarded – it's science. But before you smugly hit the mute button for good, there are a couple of pro-chat facts to consider. Firstly, initiate occasional pillow-talk and you are in line for more of a physical connection, more often. Because she finds relationship chats more than emotionally rewarding – she finds them erotic. "Women feel a psychological attachment to men who talk to them about something they place such great importance upon, which can increase their sexual attraction to you," explains Orbuch.
Finally, the statistics prove that if she does initiate a chat, it doesn't mean that there's a problem. Quite the opposite, in fact. "The men in my study reported that they connect 'talking about it' with the notion that something is wrong and, most of all, that it's their fault," says Orbuch.
Actually, the women interviewed said they liked to discuss things even when the relationship is healthy and derived just as much pleasure from it. Keep your relationship discussion minutes down but don't hang up completely – and it will be better to talk than you could have ever have imagined.
Everything you've been told about sex and relationships is wrong. This is the attraction of opposites…

Formula Troubleshooting—Anhydrous Product Instability

Many anhydrous products are mixtures of oils, esters, fatty alcohols, waxes, preservatives, fragrances and various pigments. Combining these materials is a complex undertaking, and varying the concentration even slightly changes the dynamics and aesthetics of the final product; in the worst cases, it causes instability.

Software Engineer Intern position at Mountain View

I have an interview this week for an intern position. Could you please give me some pointers on the topics which I should focus for interview preparation.

The interview is going to be both a technical interview and a behavior baseed interview.
Behavior based means they are going to ask very specific questions about a past experience and how you handled that experience. I know there was some recent discussion in the forums on the technical questions but keep in mind they are dependent on what group you are going to interview with since some products use different technologies than others.
Hope that helps.

Hi Gail,
I am writing in reference to my interview for Software Engineer Intern position at Intuit that was held back in Nov 2010. I last heard from a recruiter on a phone call in first week of Dec that she has received good feedback from the interviewers and that I will be contacted by project managers sending emails about their projects within a week. I was also inquired about my location preferences. However, since then, I haven't been contacted by anyone. I tried to reach the recruiter a few times in Dec and Jan and left messages, but in vain.
I would highly appreciate any help in finding the status of my application, whatever be the case. I hope you understand the anxiety :-)
