The Shure Model UA845-SWB is an amplified, UHF Antenna Distribution System that expands a wireless microphone system by splitting one pair of antennas to multiple Shure U4, UR4, ULXD4, ULXD4D, or ULXD4Q wireless receivers. It also amplifies RF signals to compensate for insertion loss due to splitting signal power to multiple output connectors. Each UA845-SWB allows up to four receivers to use the same antennas. CASCADE connectors allow connections to a fifth receiver or a second UA845-SWB.
Expandability. The UA845-SWB UHF Antenna Distribution System is designed for large UHF, UHF-R, or ULX-D™ wireless systems. Each unit allows up to four wireless receivers to use the same two antennas, and the CASCADE ports allow connection to a fifth receiver or a second UA845-SWB.
Compatibility. The UA845-SWB is compatible with all Shure UHF, UHF-R, and ULX-D wireless microphone receivers operating within a compatible frequency range (see UHF Carrier Frequency Ranges in the Specifications section).
CASCADE Ports. Two 50 Ω, BNC-type antenna CASCADE ports allow an additional UA845-SWB unit or a fifth wireless receiver. A large wireless system can be run off of a single pair of antennas.
Power OUTPUT and OUT Connectors for Shure UHF and UHF-R® Wireless systems. Up to five U4 or UR4 receivers can be daisy-chained and powered from a single source via the Power OUTPUT connectors.

I have created more sites on my web with match results, where I only use code [matches league_id=X], which displays results from a certain league (X). There is a picklist on the site, which is filled by actual matchday.
For the league with id=1 the actual matchday changes every Monday, but for the league with id=2, there is still the first matchday after a completed 14th matchday.
What could be the source of this problem, when I use the same code??
Thank you…

Officially, the state government of Karnataka has decided to do away with a uniform fee structure for engineering, medical and dental courses, effective from next academic year.
Setting in motion the implementation of the Karnataka Professional Education Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Fixation of Fee) Act, 2006, the government, on Monday, conveyed private colleges that there will be no upper limit fixed for fees in private, unaided colleges. However, the fee regulatory committee headed by former Karnataka high court judge Ajit J Gunjal will determine the fee for colleges.
The sources revealed that minister of higher education minister RV Deshpande conveyed the same to private colleges at a special meeting at Vikas Soudha on Monday. "The colleges will have to send in their respective fee structure proposal within 31st December. The committee will then grade colleges based on four parameters - infrastructure, coaching, location and course. Based on this assessment, it will decide the amount colleges can charge."
The fees fixed for the coming academic year will remain in force for three consecutive years -2014-2015, 2015-16, and 2016-17. "Also, the fee will remain the same for the entire course. What a student pays in the first year will be the fee he/she will pay for all the four years in case of engineering and five years case of medical courses," sources added.
The government of the state took a step forward as it decides that students getting admissions under reservation category will not have any concession in private colleges, even as they are entitle to subsidized education in government and aided colleges. "From now on, there will only be two categories of colleges, government and aided colleges in the first category and private college in the second. There will not be any discrimination among minority colleges that are unaided," officials said.

Dusty Hare is one of English rugby's most respected players. Born in Newark, Dusty's rugby career began in 1971 when he made his debut for Nottingham RFC.
He joined Leicester Tigers in 1976 and during his thirteen years at the club, Dusty helped to establish Leicester as one of English rugby's leading clubs, with three consecutive John Player Cup titles, before the club were crowned England's first official champions by winning the Courage Clubs Championship in 1988.
Dusty also had success at international level having made his England debut in 1974, going on to win a total of 25 caps for his country. He was a vital member of England's 1980 Grand Slam winning side and in 1983 he was called up for the British Isles tour to New Zealand.
A record breaker throughout his 18-year playing career, Dusty amassed a world record of 7,337 points, the vast majority of which he scored for Leicester. In 1980 Dusty broke Harold Day's Leicester career points aggregate by scoring his 1152nd point against London Irish, before breaking the club's record for points scored in a match in 1986. Having represented his country 25 times, Dusty was the record points scorer in Test rugby, a record he held until 1992.
A natural sportsman, Dusty was also a talented cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire. His retirement as a rugby player saw Dusty carry on the family business as a farmer in South Clifton, Nottinghamshire. He then took up a role at Leicester Tigers working for the club's academy, eventually becoming their head scout.
Having developed his skills as a scout during his time at Leicester, Dusty joined the Saints in early 2010 as Recruitment and Development Manager, bringing his expertise to Franklin's Gardens. During his time at the club, Dusty has helped with the development of some of the country's brightest rugby prospects.

How To Raise Money For Better Coins
By Al Doyle for CoinWeek ..........
It happens to every collector, and often on a repeated basis.
A special coin comes along - imagine a $5 gold Indian at close to melt value, an 1891-CC Morgan dollar in a PCGS or NGC EF-45 holder or a circulated 1807 Draped Bust half cent with appealing chocolate brown surfaces - and the funds aren't available. Why do those opportunities always arrive when the wallet is empty?
The obvious answer is to have some money available for such encounters. Easier said than done? Probably. However, with a little planning and a simple and sound collecting strategy, it is very possible for the lower-budget collector to use a savings method, be able to have the cash needed to obtain better quality goods with some frequency.
So how can a budget coin collector obtain more coins? The first step is to have fewer coins. Sound contradictory?
Anyone who has been around numismatics for more than a brief time owns several to a dozen impulsive or unwise purchases that are gathering dust. It doesn't matter what possessed a person to buy that BU roll of 1961-D Jefferson nickels or Bahamian proof set, but it's not a bad idea to flush the misfits out of a collection.
It's likely that many of these past buys now bring less that what you paid, but look at the red ink as tuition in the school of coin collecting. Purging stuff that doesn't fit and getting something for it isn't the worst scenario. In some cases, you'll break even or come out a bit ahead. If the items in question are bullion related and purchased more than a few years ago, you should definitely be on the winning side of the ledger.
Don't spend the proceeds on the first round and shiny object that comes along. Have a specific coin or two in mind or a plan on how to get the most value for the money spent. Think quality, not quantity. The word "quality" doesn't necessarily mean the highest-priced options in the marketplace.
"There's stuff, and then there's real coins," declares one wise coin shop owner with more than 30 years in the business. Even with its luster and lack of bagmarks, a certified 1921 MS-64 Morgan dollar falls into this dealer's "stuff" category, as would a modern MS-69 slabbed piece.
On the other hand, a Seated Liberty dime or quarter from the 1840s in Very Fine or a scarcer-date Shield nickel in a similar grade makes the "real coin" list. How can that happen when the type coins are often less expensive than high-grade items? Despite their relatively modest values, the older circulated coins with original surfaces can be hard to locate. The stuff vs. real coins game can be played at all price levels.
Unloading surplus coins shouldn't be a major problem. They can always be sold to a dealer, offered on eBay or placed on a bid board at coin shops. Clubs sometimes hold auctions where members can sell coins, and one-on-one transactions are common. It goes without saying that merchandise needs to be honestly graded and priced. Don't take advantage of newbies who have little knowledge.
There may be other unwanted or forgotten things that are doing nothing but taking up space around the house. Anything from selling one or two surplus objects to a weekend garage sale can provide cash and reduce clutter. This is a project that can include the entire family, especially if they are given a fair share of the profits.
What happens when all of the excess has been sold, and the proceeds have been turned into better quality items? There is a proven and painless way to save some cash for hobby-related purchases.
Even those on the lower end of the economic scale handle numerous $1 bills over the course of a month. Setting aside one or more singles at a time will soon result in a pile of George Washingtons. If the pile gets too thick (some problem!), exchange the $1s for a larger bill and keep stacking.
In addition to building a fund for coin buying, the $1 savings plan provides positive reinforcement and visual proof of progress. While this method won't provide the kind of capital needed to obtain a 1916-D Mercury dime or a $20 gold Saint-Gaudens, it isn't hard to accumulate $100 to $500 in six months or less. This is something worth doing even if you don't have a specific coin in mind. Why?
Carry the money you have saved to the next large coin show in your area. If you don't find something you want to purchase at a convention such as Baltimore, FUN, Central States or ANA, you probably don't have much of a numismatic drive. In the more likely event of being surrounded by all kinds of coins that capture the eyes, you'll have the money needed to take action and build a better collection.

So I love this picture because it was me and my husbands first picture together. My mother on the other hand not so impressed she later told us both she wasn't sure about him since this was sent to her before she met him she actually confessed she thought he looked like a thug. Let me clear this up he is not!! Lol. Since then he has become a member of my family not just because we got married and have 2 kids together but because he has my back like no one else besides my family. Its important to me that my family likes my SO I am blessed that everyone gets along that means so much to me. What was your parents reactions to your SO when they first met?
When my parents met my fiance they thought he was a gangster because he has tats on his neck but he's not... at first they were like "oh boy what has Paula gotten herself into"..but once they spoke to him they were very impressed. But what won their heart was they way he got along with my boys and how little by little the bond between them got so strong. I always knew he would be a great father and with our daughter he is the BEST father ever!! My children are so lucky to have such a loving dad..
My parents new something was up with my husband when they first met him. Looking back, we both wonder how we didn't know. We were really good friends for awhile before we started dating. For some reason, I invited him to lunch with my family when they were in town visiting (he was nothing but a friend/coworker at the time) and for some even stranger reason, he said yes. After lunch he left and my parents didn't say much of anything until after we were married. Now we all laugh about how comfortable we were at lunch even though it was potentially a VERY awkward situation.

"Don't Walk This Way"
A response to the startup warning messages
Whether or not you should start a business or join a startup is a frequently penned blog post these days. Articles seem like they are being written daily by prominent and successful entrepreneurs, especially in the tech sector, that warn would-be entrepreneurs about the dangers of a starting/running/joining a startup. Most of these articles have a tendency to scare the reader off the entire idea of entrepreneurialism in the name of transparency. We're told it's an irrational risk, it's going to be really hard and it's probably going to fail. Ironically, it's mostly serial entrepreneurs that have written this post. Even more bizarre is when investors harp on the downside of starting a company. A few weeks ago I was at a pitch event where an investor at a very deep stacked VC firm was on a panel, supposedly there to learn about new startups in the name of deal flow. He went on a 5 minute rant about why it's a bad idea to start a company (side note: he left before any of the company pitches). He was a walking talking contradiction.
I hate these articles and the fact that they are often positioned as the author trying to be helpful and transparent. Every time I read these posts, I really just think the author comes off as condescending and insecure. If a failed entrepreneur writes it, they seem to be attempting to publicly justify that they failed at something very hard. If a successful entrepreneur writes this, that's even worse because that person comes off as looking for adoration for succeeding at something really hard. 'Let me tell you how hard and miserable starting a company is going to be, and don't forget to check out my bio link at the end that describes how I was successful at it'. Insecurities aside, I question why these authors feel the need to write this post in the first place. Is there really anyone out there looking at a startup play who doesn't know that it's hard, risky, and a long-shot to succeed?
But therein lies the deeper issue. The real danger in this approach is the broad generalization that the 'downside' to being an entrepreneur is really even downside in the eyes of everyone. In fact, each of these common objections are characteristics of what many people are actually looking for in a professional endeavor.
"It's an irrational risk to start a company or join a startup "
The odds of a startup succeeding are low. This isn't news to anyone who is thinking about doing this. But I would argue that risk is not a real deterrent to many, myself included. My favorite quote by an obscure French author describes real risk to me:
"Anything can happen in life, especially nothing" - Michel Houellebecq
Risk means looking back on a 40 year career and realizing that about halfway into it you made enough money to be fine for the rest of your life, and yet you kept plugging along that path because it was safe and secure. But in reflection, you realized you accomplished nothing of significance or impact. You took no real risks and worse your contribution was immaterial. You grinded out years and decades, you took your 2% cost of living yearly raises and the occasional promotion. You played defense against threats to your comfort zone. And in the process, you lost your creative spirit in daily meetings and process, played office politics, and made no material difference on anyone outside of your building. You played it safe and then you retire and then you die. Your life's work was a commodity. That is real risk - a professional life that produced nothing out of the ordinary because you played it safe.
The risk of a startup is the best part about whole deal. At Tackk, we feed off the fact that this can crash and burn and if that happens we all face scrutiny and judgement and a public failure. With risk comes urgency and necessity, and necessity forces people to stretch their abilities. Stretching yourself to grow quickly in a multi-dimensional way only happens when you have to do it. When you are desperate to avoid that failure, that is when you can truly start to tap your potential, and this is the common state of most employees or founders at startups. If you aren't in this state, you shouldn't be at a startup.
"Startups are hard"
What if hard (long hours, difficult situations, unsolved problems, and frequent barriers to scale) is what someone wants or needs to be fulfilled professionally?
Why are some people wired this way? I can't state it any better than this scene from a League of Their Own:
I always respect someone who does something hard, especially when doing so requires prolonged focus and resiliency. Whether that's someone who started a business, ran a full marathon, or lost a bunch of weight. I think most people respect others by the same criteria - so why would anyone say that engaging in something hard is anything but opportunity for greatness?
"Odds are it's probably going to fail"
This is the least relevant argument in the entire discussion, but shows up in every one of these posts. First, we need to ask what constitutes failure? This is probably a statement on the lack of net capital gain in the endeavor (and possibly a look at the opportunity cost of more steady employment).
But this discounts the value of any of the learnings, connections, skills honed or interpersonal growth that is gained by being at a startup. But even if we count all of that as valueless, the net financial impact can't be calculated in a vacuum because you can never know the real opportunity cost beyond speculation. You may have been fired at your steady job a week after passing up a startup opportunity. Conversely, your startup failure might have positioned you with better skills and experience to land a higher paying job or opportunity after the fact. It's impossible to speculate, and irrational to calculate the net financial impact of the "failure" without looking at the entire sequence of events. You can only really calculate it when you call a career a career and you're ready to stop working altogether. At that point, the money will be a lot less important and the risks taken will hold more value in your assessment of your life's work.
I think the point of it all is there is really no use in warning people about how hard/risky/irrational startups are. Those who are committed to the mission won't waver by reading the warning and those who can be sold off the idea by simply reading your blog post would have been quickly been eliminated by natural selection anyway. So here's to hoping that successful entrepreneurs and investors take a less self-serving and more insightful approach to their next post.

Greens bring humour back to politics
Last week, four MPs participated in Victoria University's vice-chancellor's debate, arguing the topic of political literacy. I wasn't there, but according to reports it was a highly enjoyable event. Apparently one of the speakers, Green MP Gareth Hughes, did a nice line in mordant, Conchordant self-deprecating humour, describing himself as ''the third-best Morris dancer in the Green Party''.
I suspect one of the reasons that Kiwis have warmed to the Greens of late has been their ability to laugh at themselves - with bogus April Fool's press releases and a call for an inquiry into the number of inquiries they call for. One could argue that Greenies have been making us laugh for years, but it's only recently that it's been intentional.
But thank goodness. The Left may have all the good songs, but they rarely make the best jokes.
I am delighted that the youthful and enthusiastic Mr Hughes - the Doogie Howser of the New Zealand Parliament - has taken time out from warning us about deep-sea drilling to draft an amendment to our copyright laws.
Doogie's amendment will allow the free use of copyrighted material for parody and satire so more New Zealanders can have a fracking good laugh.
As a sometime parodist on the largely satire-free zones that are New Zealand radio and television, I admit to a vested interest, but where do the interests lie on the other side of this amendment?
Try to parody a well-known advertisement on television or the internet and you may have teams of lawyers threatening you with millions of dollars in damages.
As a writer, I'm all for copyright laws. But to make it illegal to use copyrighted material, such as logos or images, for purposes of political satire, especially in the age of the internet, seems churlish, impractical and, worst of all, undemocratic.
So have our political parties on the Right, funded by big corporations and booze barons, openly opposed Doogie Hughes' little amendment? Not so far.
In fact, the Nats did a nice line in satire during the 2005 election campaign. Animated photos of Helen Clark and Michael Cullen collected money from the hapless taxpayers while singing ''Thank you very much''.
It was a superb parody that anyone who suffered through the dreadful Telethons of the 80s immediately identified with.
To do that advertisement legally, the Nats would have had to apply for permission not only to play the song but to parody it - an arduous and usually futile process. I'm assuming they didn't ask Clark and Cullen for permission to use their photos.
Funnily enough, it is Labour's Shane Jones who has spoken out most strongly against the Hughes amendment. Offended by a Greenpeace parody of a Sealord ad, Mr Jones described the bill as causing ''economic vandalism'' to big business brands like Sealord, of which he was once chairman.
As anyone who has read Naomi Klein's excellent No Logo will attest, corporations spend millions of dollars protecting their brands from ''economic vandalism'', to the point of hysteria. Look at the millions the smoking lobby is spending in New Zealand protecting their brands from plain packaging. If you think I'm being paranoid, try satirising an internationally known brand. Go on. Just do it.
But then again, I'm biased. I've actually met people who work in branding and I put them just below council chief executives, human resources experts and ''governance'' consultants on my list of people to avoid. So I look forward to seeing how cheeky little Gareth's cheeky little copyright amendment pans out.
I hope it passes. After all, we send troops to die fighting the humourless puritanism of the Taleban, yet our copyright and defamation laws can hinder free speech in a way that would impress the mullahs.
But if the amendment fails, it won't be the first or last time that satirists get it in the eye.
I recently read a quote, written during Roman times, complimenting a certain Emperor. Apparently he was so liberal and benevolent that he didn't put any writers to death - only the satirists.

"Retro" Wordstock goes back to the writing basics
Writing is the recurring theme of this year's Wordstock, the annual event hosted by Ryerson University's journalism alumni association. It will be held on Saturday October 2 at the Ryerson School of Journalism.
After a few years of dabbling successfully in the new journalism tools and styles, this is a retro version of Wordstock. It will be all about writing, both fiction and non-fiction.
We're returning to a former format of three streams of seminars, one in the morning after the keynote...and then we'll break for a free barbecue lunch and networking at a nearby pub. We'll resume at 1:45 p.m. with two streams of four seminars each, all on writing. The day ends at 4:30 p.m.
Among the magazine-related sessions is one by former Chatelaine editor Kim Pittaway entitled "Magazine readers want stories", outlining how to inject character and narrative into all kinds of magazine writing.Further information. You can download a pdf brochure. The cost is $75, $50 for Ryerson journalism alumni or students from other accredited journalism programs.

How are you trying to do it?
You should just be able to use VBA Cos like this:
VB:MsgBox Cos(90)

Merge Excel The Easy Way | Trading Add-ins For Excel | Convert Excel Into Calculating Web Pages
Excel Web Pages | Produce Clean Efficient VBA Code Every Time | Build Automated Trading Models In Excel | Excel Web Pages | Excel Video Training
I'm trying to using the Excel COS function in VBA (rather than on the worksheet), but I'm having problems. Do you have to declare these "built-in" functions in your code?
How are you trying to do it?
You should just be able to use VBA Cos like this:
VB:MsgBox Cos(90)
Hi Norie
Yeah it works for Cos, but not for these:
These three functions I just can't seem to get to work in VBA.
Are they allowed in VBA, or is it just in Excel?
And if it is just in Excel, is there anyway I can transfer them into VBA?
Direct from the help files. Note the piece at the end on how to calculate Radians.
You can also search for "Derived Math Functions" which will explain how to create your own functions for the ones that do not exist.Cos Function
Returns a Double specifying the cosine of an angle.
The required number argument is a Double or any valid numeric expression that expresses an angle in radians.
The Cos function takes an angle and returns the ratio of two sides of a right triangle. The ratio is the length of the side adjacent to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
The result lies in the range -1 to 1.
To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by pi/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/pi.
Or you can also use the Application.Worksheetfunctions object.
Thanks Andy
I've noticed that if you put "Application." infront the Excel function, it will work in VBA.
Thanks for your advice
Managed to get the functions working OK in VBA except "Square Root"
Does anyone know this one?
I've tried 'sqrt()' and 'Application.sqrt()'but neither work.
Try this
9 ^ (1 / 2)
The ^ represents the 'to the power of' operator and square root of x = x to the power 1/2
The square root function in VBA is SQR(number)
Norie's method is also useful for all other root calculations.
27^(1/3) ' cubed root
Thanks folks

Power Fist is the tier 3 skill in Wilhelm's Cyber Commando skill tree. It replaces his regular hand with a robotic one that is capable of delivering explosive melee blows.
Special Skill Text
"I am now authorized to use physical force."
When melee button is pressed, instead of performing a standard melee attack, Wilhelm will extend his fist and punch whatever is unfortunate enough to stand in his way. This attack has longer range, delivers both melee and explosive damage, and has a cooldown of 12 seconds. Pressing the melee button during cooldown will perform a standard melee attack.
- A successful hit from a Power Fist will always cause any non-boss enemy to flinch. This can be useful against relentless foes who constantly pursue their targets.
- Power fist deals both increased melee damage as well as explosive damage, which makes it devastating against enemies who are frozen solid, even more so if they are hit in their critical spot. A level 50 Wilhelm is capable of killing a full-health, shielded level 50 Super Badass in a single punch.
- Power Fist does not receive damage bonuses from Roid Shields.

The time for Assassin's Creed games is upon us. Whether you love the franchise, beginning to dislike the franchise or never even heard of it and wondering where the cookies on offer, 2014 and 2015 will be huge years for the series. Mostly at the fact that it's still gaining popularity and with 2 new games just for this, a movie on the way next year and all the advertising that awaits us in turn. However I have noticed some significant similarities between the games over the years. Not just within the Assassin's Creed franchise but many other series within the Ubisoft Multiverse. For today's blog, I have decided to write out a few things that have been making me link Assassin's Creed 3 and the next upcoming Assassin's Creed: Unity game. Oh by the way, this will also feature a couple of minor spoilers for AC3 and what we know so far about the upcoming AC: Unity game so if you don't wish to see any spoilers or want to wait without any knowledge until Unity is released, then I suggest you blindfold yourself whilst reading this blog... It will also feature a few of my thoughts about the Assassin's Creed franchise and of the character Connor Kenway who seems to have disappeared off the radar (Ubisoft's development plan)for a while. So without further ado, here's a couple of the similarities between the 2 games and in some cases more than just the 2 games.
The focus of Assassin's Creed: Unity is based on the same aspect of a revolution and whilst they make a few twists and turns, the storyline of both the Assassins and the Templars appears to be very similar. In particular, the story will most likely depict the 2 killing machine groups teaming up in some way hasn't that happened already? When I was playing through Assassin's Creed with my first playthrough, I wondered what would happen if they teamed up and talking to William Miles confirmed that possibility... confirmed even more so both the part of the storyline for the game. Although it didn't really work out well for either them, it was a part of the story for the game between Haytham and Connor followed by the many memes and funny pics (sometimes based on fact) to follow...
So where does Assassin's Creed: Unity come in to all this? The game's character storyline is based on the deaths of Arno's family which doesn't really seem that different from well, most of the games that have been released already. Still there is an urge for vengeance, a sense of redemption and bringing out justice for the character's family. As well as justice for the numerous side mission characters you meet along the way. To be honest, this was the point where I thought that Ubisoft would finally ditch their vengeance and crazy killing spree of assassinations in which their target would always be saved for last. This doesn't seem to the case though.
When we look at the new father figure who adopts Arno Dorian, he is in fact a Templar and grandmaster of the order but that said, wasn't Haytham a high ranking member within the order too? I can see how it's twisted slightly to make it appear more different and its likely that he will appear more like a respectable figure to the main protagonist. I mean, who else is gonna feed Arno and whatnot? Although there isn't just a whole bunch of similarities with AC3 but also the previous AC games especially the original because much of the game appears to be leading up to a love story between Arno the Assassin and Elise the Templar but it's something that can be recognised within the first game between Altair and Maria Thorpe under the allegiance of the high ranking Templars at the time. However Bloodlines focuses on their lives together much further rather than a small 2 minute cutscene. A moment where the war didn't really matter between any of them.
What I'm slightly worried about is where the story is heading. If AC: Unity heads down a different path than what we've seen within previous games then great. Maybe during endings such as Arno dying and Elise being forced to cover something up if the whole French Revolution event becomes too shrouded in a conspiracy that can effect the Assassins and Templars uniting in the future or even is forced to turn back time or something (there is a Piece of Eden that can do that) to push his descendant destiny on to someone else. Hmm... How about the soon to be Miles family in the 21st century and therefore no children for so Arno's descendants could never exist and thus Juno would have to focus on a different bloodline. I'm sure Juno had a contingency plan for many characters around the world to survive until 2012. I mean, she couldn't count on all of them surviving until the modern day... maybe I'm going off track.
Arno Dorian seems to be slightly unique compared to the other Assassins in the respect that he suffers under the loss of a Templar (his adoptive father) and probably wishes peace amongst the 2 groups but that is very similar to what Connor Kenway was originally attempting to achieve and at least, tried to simply scramble the operations of the Templars so they couldn't get back up. Although it leads on a path of both cooperation and also betrayal and the continuing of many more historical celebrities to assassinate and many more trophies/achievements to collect.
It seems like Arno will be more focused as a friendly Assassin and perhaps more emotional in terms of caring for others, perhaps even expressing his emotions through tears and anger (this is mostly my speculation) rather than Connor's strong and more aggressive personality (then again we'd all be if we couldn't really trust well... anyone) but what seems to become more noticeable is the sounding of the character and what he says. With Altair, he was more arrogant to begin with and was more of a mysterious character whereas Ezio seemed to be running all over the place and seemed to be friends with everyone...
... Well not everyone. Connor on the other hand seemed to be more similar to Altair with a vengeance personality and Edward seemed to have a bit of everything from the characters just with an added Pirates of the Caribbean attitude. Arno at the moment appears to be more closer towards Connor for now from what we can see in the trailer. Straight forward but for now, there isn't much uniqueness as we can tell. From the story, it looks like it could very well be interesting to see how he copes but he kinda reminds me of Connor just without the hatred tone of Charles Lee. More like he's saying what's from the script and that's part of the reason I wanted to write up this blog. When seeing the trailer, it was almost confusing. I thought we were meant to be playing as a character who was born and raised in Versailles. Not Britain so where's his French accent? I mean, many people weren't interested in Italian before Assassin's Creed 2. Heck! Many people weren't interested in history before playing the franchise and I'm sure they could have featured a character a really cool Francais personality and accent especially since Ubisoft have their origins directed towards France and I have a feeling that if Assassin's Creed 2 was set in France, it would likely have featured a native accent.
Although it could be just a tester voice actor rather than the actual person. Ubisoft have tricked us with their advertising before.
This includes what I've mentioned above about his storyline of his father being a Templar and whether the character being forced to unite the Assassins and Templars in some way. Then again, the game hasn't been released so there are probably a few surprises along the way. I mean, it's difficult to say much from the Assassin's Creed 3 trailer at E3. Nor with Ezio especially since he had a different voice actor for that event.
Setting and gameplay
This is one of the closest comparisons between the two particular games in which there is an American and French Revolution taking place. A Renaissance if you will in a few days. Thus a setting and especially the timing can have an affect on what the AI will be doing. There are many clear differences such as that America wanted to break away from Britain whereas this time round, it was the formation of a new government or at least... getting rid of the old one. So from seeing footage of the game, much of the surroundings look very similar with many of the civilian AI trying to argue and fight their way in to a building. No doubt a few guards will show up to see what's happening and from the side missions showed, there doesn't really seem to be a huge difference in terms of it's structure. After the events of AC: Brotherhood, it almost seemed like the side missions no longer had a huge longlasting appeal since they were much more minimised and seemed to be the same hunting someone down rather than a series of missions in Brotherhood that even competed with the main missions. That might be the case with AC: Unity. Ubisoft could very well surprise us but from the most recent games such as Far Cry 3, there's not a huge focus in interesting side missions anymore. I'm not saying they're terrible but they just seem to be too simple and mostly base themselves on collectibles and aside from exploring the whole world, there's not a huge interest to play all the side missions unless you're playing naval battles. For now, I have yet to see a Ubisoft game that becomes more than just send the mail or collecting items missions as shown in AC3. I think Ubisoft could do well with looking back at Brotherhood!
Therefore, I can't help but think that maybe, this game was meant to feature Connor Kenway as the main protagonist since in many ways, this is more of the AC3 storyline but more fleshed out. Ubisoft have stated that Connor wouldn't have gone to France because it will be urealistic. Then again, the series has always incorporated elements of unrealism and from the trailer and the setting, it seems like it is an almost fitful purpose during a time of unease and revolution in which Connor is very much familiar with. This is reinforced by the fact that the timing of reintroducing Connor in to the game. I mean, 2 years isn't so bad to develop a game if there's a plan in place prior to developing the game further and I believe that Ubisoft were interested in bringing back Connor within a future game as a main lead. He still has a purpose after Charles Lee right? Maybe this is a hint of his future through his mental and psychological frame of mind in which Charles Lee is still running around. A teaser perhaps.
However, that hasn't completely gone too well especially since there are many haters and now it seems like there's greater uncertainty and this is proven by the possibility that Assassin's Creed: Rogue might be the final game set upon the North American saga and if Connor going outside of the country is too unrealistic, then he could be doomed and could be the reason why there is a new character. Speaking about Connor in AC: Unity however, this story could have progressed his views about the differences between the Assassins and Templars and how the orders are doing within the European continent outside of the UK. As well as how different Revolutions are springing up as a result of what he has done. Maybe it will even feature some of the characters that we didn't know a great deal about AC3 if this is the case. Who knows? Just because it might be the end of the North American saga, they didn't mention whether it would be the end of the Kenway saga and we could very well see Connor as part of the main story for a game or even returning as a main character again as part of a take against the British Empire.
There have been announcements that AC: Unity was in development ever since the end of Brotherhood although I'm not 100% convinced. Perhaps it was for the next gen technology for coop but considering many games such as Watch Dogs utilised many of the existing elements and didn't succeed to win the hearts of a majority of gamers, many even think it was developed within 6 months! Let alone 4 years. Perhaps this game was in development for a while just like ACIV: Black Flag and could possibly have originally have been AC3 quite literally in it's own right instead of bringing the Kenway family in 2012 but a few agreements may have decided with different routes. In a way, I believe this is likely because I don't think that ACIV was originally meant to be part of the AC series. Just a game to test the waters for a Pirate themed game which could be why the modern day segments are smaller and why we still haven't got a new modern day character and from the sound of the new modern day sections, it looks as though the character will be similar or even the same individual as was seen with in the latest game.
Overall, I believe that at a glance, there many distinct similarities especially when considering the characters, their origins and personalities but it's very possible that the game will feature some new unique features aside from the new parkour abilities and coop especially within the story that still remains fairly shrouded in mystery. I can understand that there are similarities between many games and even series but I can't help but think that in a way, it's probably trying to achieve what AC3 didn't really expand on. The cooperation between the two orders but then again, it could have been a way of setting up a trilogy for Connor or at least creating a story for him and new characters he could train to fight new threats like the British Empire. Maybe he will guest star in the game or feature as part of the main story.
Although I'm still highly critical about the Assassin's Creed games now because I think that 2015 will be around the time when they will introduce a brand new modern day character and therefore, carry on with the main storyline as well as some new historical trilogies perhaps. The reason why I think this way is because the movie set for next year will probably tie up a new storyline and I can't see how small roles as a first person Absetrgo assistant will progress the main storyline. It appears to be more like filler and hinting what happen in a brand new AC series.
Let's not forget that some AC games represent the lives of historical characters and celebrities within handhelds and ever since AC Lost Legacy was replaced by Revelations, maybe some of these games were meant to be smaller games anyway but the whole home console thing seems to really be the high point for many video game developers now. Although looking back at many of the games, there were distinct similarities but I think with the whole 2012 setting, I thought that annualising the franchise to that point wouldn't be so bad. I mean, a game still depicting the journey until 2012 probably wouldn't appeal to many unless we knew what happened and it was some kind of prequel with a new journey. Then again, there is advertising and that seems to have worked beyond their expectations. I guess now like many others, I'm a little worried about the franchise especially with the modern day becoming more secluded and the storyline of the characters becoming more standalone, it just kind of feels like there's no direction with the series. Then again, I have talked about this in a previous blog so I should probably save that for another time.
So what do you think about AC: Unity? Excited? Skeptical? Do you agree that there are similarities between AC3 and even other games too? Do you think Connor could easily fit the role for the game? ... Have you heard of this series? If you have something to say, please don't hesitate to write in the comments below!
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed.

Barack Obama Delights, Annoys Corona del Mar Fans and Protesters
Critics of the president hold a banner in preparation for his OC visit
Brandon Ferguson
Obama's fans held signs that thanked him for his policies against "hate" and "warmongering," while his critics blasted him as pro-abortion, pro-socialism, pro-debt and pro-wealth redistribution.
"Obama is a socialist," one elderly, white-haired woman told reporters. "I want him to stop taking our hard-earned money and giving to other people. We work hard for what we have. It's not fair."
But Alice Apkarian, 55, was happy with Obama's OC trip.
"We just want to show that Orange County isn't the monolith everybody thinks it is," she told the Weekly.
Laura Dietz
believes Obama needs to be removed from power because she supports "freedom from government interference--interference with my personal life. It's unconstitutional."

Nearby, a leather-skinned granny rocking a red, white and blue stove pipe hat and standing next to a white Mercedes wasn't happy with a couple Obama supporters--a college-aged woman and her male companion.
"You guys are so dumb. You're socialists, socialists, socialists!" she yelled.
She doesn't like King Obama

Elsewhere in the crowd, a contingency of pro-marijuana protesters with the Greater Orange County Collectives Alliance held signs and said they are determined to "remove the stigma" about pot smoking.
As you would expect, the scene was loaded with journalists and seven television news trucks.
The country's going to pot.
An unamused KTLA reporter lectured an anti-Obama protester who accused him of only interviewing liberals.
The Secret Service and Newport Beach police kept the crowd far from the president's motorcade. Within 10 minutes of reports that Obama had arrived, the crowds thinned.
Bush? Obama? Fat Bastard's father?
After his OC event, the president is scheduled to fly early this afternoon to San Francisco.

I want to say I read once the US-avg. for women is 5'6", so you are shorter than 50% of US women.
Then again, you're also <18 and still growing.
And there's also nothing wrong with being 5'4". Unless basketball happens to be your professional endeavor of course, then you're S. O. L.00|00|0

I would say average actually, definitely on the shorter side though10|10|0
assuming she's from the U. S., that's the exact average for women. but if she's <18 then she is still growing, depending on her age quite a lot

|SSLVerifyClient in <Directory>
|Sun, 06 Dec 2009 17:19:13 GMT
Hello all, I've heard about the recent vulnerability regarding SSL renegotiations and from what I can tell, it seems to have broken the usage of SSLVerifyClient inside a httpd <Directory> directive. I'm trying to get Apache to verify client certificates, but only for a specific directory on my website, yet it only seems to kick in and work if I do it inside the <VirtualHost> directive, but not inside a <Directory> directive. I'm going by the examples presented on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_howto.html#arbitraryclients yet they seem to suffer from the exact same issue. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards, Ricky Burgin

Jr is drinking 6 ounces of formula every 3-4 hours during the day we started with some sweet potato yesturday he did really well. my question is should we cut down on the ounces of formula if we are adding the sweet potato?
I have always heard "food before 1 is just for fun." He still needs his formula, the sweet potato should just be used as a secondary treat :)

Smart mobile phones are actually what's in nowadays since they're the focus of the marketing drive of most phone manufacturers. People have been become more and more appreciative of what smartphones have to offer as evidenced by the growth of Android and other mobile os, in a yearly basis. Evidence of this is quite easy to find, since you just need to step outside of your home to see that everyone is using a smartphone with these os. Sadly, some of these phones are wasted on people who have no idea on how to harness the power that these operating systems have. Mainly because they install proprietary applications on the phone that aren't easily uninstalled the telecommunications and phone manufacturing companies are really putting limits on how a phone functions and the average consumer has no idea about this. Android tablets and phones are examples of how these practices ruin a mobile os.
Searching online for how to root your android phone will undoubtedly come up with a lot of answers and topics that you can browse through. One thing that you might notice however is that the results wouldn't give you any reason why rooting your phone is important. The rooting process before was only tried on by people who knew what they were doing to their phones. Because rooting your android phone ran the chance of you bricking it, the process was considered costly and had a high risk high reward feel to it. Android phones with older versions of the operating-system were thought be very hard to root that was why people steered clear from applying the process on them. A better overall experience as well as improved performance would be what you would expect once you root your android phone which is why the process was well worth the effort and the experience.
Due to the fact that a rooted android device is not bound by the restrictions on the android code imposed by some manufacturers or telecom companies, it will be easier to improve its performance. Due to the fact that everyone knows that anyone who will root android will not be brought to the court of law by the developer of the operating system, which is google, this makes the system more friendly for users. Getting knowledge of this, changes to the android OS are sometimes perpetuated by the companies that have a hand in the manufacture and distribution of android handsets as they want to have a marketing edge over their competitors who also use the operating-system. One just needs to check out the amount of unneeded applications installed on newly bought phones that a user has no chance of using. One thing of benefit to users though will be the fact that they still need to make their source code available to everybody. Now you will not have that much of a difficult time to root your android from your phone.
This is basically when the development for the Android Os was first starting out. Due to the fact that android rooting software are often available nowadays, one would not need to worry about this concern. I'm pretty sure that plenty of people have asked themselves how do u root your android phone, the answer is clearly here. Next up on the list would probably have to be the application you'll be using. The number of options to decide on is due to the fact that developers are always working hard to help those who want to root their phones. Rooting devices would be much easier when using One Click Root instead of other options available nowadays.
You should be considering this application if you want to root android tablet. Not only will it root your android tablet it also has support to root android phone. The android operating system is optimized for booth tablets and phones so One Click Root would not have any problem with both classes of devices. And because of how advanced this rooting software is, the probability of you bricking your phone or tablet while rooting is lesser. This would bring a sigh of relief for a lot of people who expect their device to be working after rooting them.

This is the moment you've been looking forward to: You're about to jump headfirst into a vigorous campaign to eat less, exercise more, and practice the de-stressing techniques that will make you happier, healthier, and more productive than ever. This time you really will change. You've never been more motivated and committed. Ready? On your mark, get set…
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Sorry, but there's a good chance you're getting ahead of yourself, according to a revolutionary new theory of change. Only about 20% of people who need to ditch bad habits for good ones are actually ready to do so, says psychologist James Prochaska, PhD, coauthor of Changing for Good. Before you take your inaugural predawn power walk or mix your first high protein shake, you must progress through three essential preparatory stages, he says. If you do, you have an excellent chance of making those new habits stick.
Prochaska, director of the Cancer Prevention Research Center at the University of Rhode Island, has identified five key stages of change. In the first, you admit to having a vague sense that you need to alter your behavior; in the second you intend to do so, but not right now. By the third stage, you're arranging all the details that will kick off the fourth, or action, stage. In the fifth, you maintain your new routines until they blend seamlessly into your lifestyle. The first three stages, however, require the most mental preparation. Here's how to identify where you are in the process--and take the steps necessary to make your goal a lifelong reality.
Step 1: Precontemplation
You're here if: You have the nagging feeling that you really do need to, say, start exercising and eating better. But delay rules. Where should you start?
How to Move to Step 2:
- Tune in to your excuses. When a friend invites you to a yoga class, how do you respond? Do you decline the invite, blaming a busy schedule? Your bad back? Facing your excuses is the first step toward overcoming them.
- Tally the benefits of change. If you lost weight you'd lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. You'd also boost your energy, feel more attractive, and fit easily into your clothes. The upside of the status quo...? Case closed.
- Ask for help. Let your friends know you're struggling with your decision and that pushing you is exactly what you don't need. What is helpful: gently pointing out your delaying tactics.[pagebreak]
Step 2: Contemplation
You're here if: You know you have to modify your behavior but don't know how—and you're still afraid of failing.
How to Move to Step 3:
- Educate yourself. Read articles and books about the new habit you want to cultivate. For instance, doing cardio not only burns calories but helps stave off memory loss. Also, get a reality check from your doctor: Unlike your husband, who may not mind the 30 pounds you've gained, your doc should tell you bluntly about how excess weight may be harming your health.
- Work through ambivalence. When you fall back on a familiar excuse, ask yourself, Is this true? Do you really have no time to work out when in fact you watch reruns of Law and Order twice a week? Connect your interest in changing with something you value—for example, if dropping 20 pounds means you have more energy to join your husband and kids on their yearly ski trips.
- Dip your toe in the water. Want to start a walking program some day? Do a test run now by going for a short brisk walk to see how it feels. "It's like warming up your engine," Prochaska says. "By taking those small steps, you'll be motivated to launch your plan."
Step 3: Preparation
You're here if: You're ready to undertake the hard work required to, for example, lose weight, shape up, or manage stress better—and you're taking small steps to commit to the effort for at least 6 months.
Move to the starting line:
- Make room for your goal. You may need to reorganize your kids' schedules or delegate certain household responsibilities. Then pencil in cooking, exercise, or meditating on your daily calendar just as you would for a meeting, says Maryann Troiani, PsyD, a psychologist in Barrington, IL, and coauthor of Spontaneous Optimism.
- Map out a plan. If you're going to upgrade your diet, should you see a nutritionist? Stock up on certain foods? "If you can't write down your plan or explain it to a 10-year-old, you're not ready," says John C. Norcross, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Scranton and coauthor of Changing for Good. Anticipate potential obstacles: If a work deadline will interfere with your exercise schedule, map out a short lunchtime walk.
- Take your plan public. Set a start date and clue in family and close friends. "Once you say it out loud, it becomes a commitment that other people know about, which creates pressure on you to follow through," Norcross says.
Now that you've laid the necessary groundwork, you surely will. So, are you ready? Get set...

Certified athletic trainers and orthopedic surgeons have observed an alarming increase in adult-type athletic injuries among children and adolescents. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 3.5 million sports-related injuries in children under age 15 were treated in the U.S. in 2003.
And the National Athletic Trainers' Association and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons are taking this topic pretty seriously. They've just launched an ad campaign. Their public service announcement says: "What will they have longer: their trophies or their injuries?"
Just how serious are sports injuries among kids? The Early Show medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay tells co-anchor Hannah Storm it is fairly serious.
Senay adds what is really alarming is the possibility of chronic injuries, where we see the same problem over and over again - perhaps a shoulder or a knee injury that just keeps coming back. This is the kind of injury that used to be reserved for adults.
We have to realize that children are not just small adults, Senay says. They're still growing -- their bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This makes them more susceptible to injury. What is often a bruise or sprain in an adult can be a potentially serious injury in a young athlete.
What accounts for this rise in sports injuries?
More children are involved in organized sports activities, and more kids are specializing in a particular sport at a young age. Kids used to play whatever sport was in season. Now, more and more children are specializing at the age of 9 or 10 or even earlier, Senay explains. So instead of playing different sports and using different muscles as the seasons change, you have a child playing only baseball or only soccer, for example, 10 or 12 months out of the year.
The reason more children are specializing, Senay says, is that a child may have more success in one sport or another, so it may be that the child wants to specialize - or it might be the parent who wants the child to do so. The younger the child is, the more of a role the parent plays.
"I see the ambition in the parents' eyes. It's really everywhere," Senay says. Now, if your child is actually a prodigy and is fantastic at a specific sport, then he or she might actually benefit by spending more time on the sport and honing her skills for what could be a career in that sport. But child prodigies are few and far between.
Agreeing with Hannah's Storm's book, "Go Girl! Raising Healthy, Confident and Successful Girls Through Sports," Senay notes just because Susie likes to ice skate, that doesn't mean she'll be the next Michelle Kwan. A lot of parents believe their children are prodigies when, in fact, they're not. We all want our children to do well, but it's important to recognize when you're pushing them too much.
Here are some tips on how to prevent injury:
Get A Pre-Participation Exam
Adults shouldn't start any exercise program without consulting their physician, and neither should children. Make sure your child has a physical exam before joining a team. A pre-participation physical will tell you whether your child is physically able to meet the demands of the sport chosen.
The results of the exam should be shared with the school and the team coach so that everybody knows about specific health issues like asthma or diabetes. Then guidelines should be established to make sure everyone knows what to do if there's a problem.
Group According To Skill Level And Size
Kids of the same age don't all have the same skill level. Whenever possible, parents and athletic coaches should try to group them according to skill level and size, not chronological age, particularly during contact sports. A 10-year-old who's big for his age can do serious damage when he's matched up with a 10-year-old who's small for his age. If it's not practical and they have to go by age; they should modify the sport to accommodate the needs of children with varying skill levels.
Avoid Seasonal Overuse
This goes back to pushing the limits too much. If your child is good at baseball, that doesn't mean he should be on a few different teams. Stick to one team. Don't enroll your child in both a weekday team and a weekend team. What tends to happen is that the coaches don't realize how much the child is working. One coach thinks he or she is giving the child enough rest, the other coach thinks the same thing, but in reality the child is barely resting at all.
You also don't want your child to be playing in several different types of sports at once. Stick to one team at a time: Play basketball one season; move on to baseball the next season; and maybe a swim team the next season. Let your child do what he likes, but don't get caught up in activity and overdo it.
Have An Emergency Plan In Place
You want to follow all of these tips in an effort to prevent injuries. But in the event that something does happen, make sure everyone knows what to do. You need to have inhalers at hand for kids with asthma, epi-pens for allergic reactions. Coaches should be CPR certified and trained in first aid. They should have an up-to-date medical history for each player and a fully stocked first aid kit. They also should know when to seek a doctor's care, and have a plan to get a child to the emergency room.
