DescriptionLittle Computer People can be described as the "mother" of The Sims. When you load the game for the first time and personalise it with your name you'll see a house with several rooms like a kitchen, living room, bed room, etc. After some time of waiting a little person will appear and check out the house with all its rooms to see if he likes it. If he likes it, he will move in shortly and bring his dog along with him.
That's where the real "game" starts and that's what it will be like every time you'll load the game from then. You see the house and the little person living in it, doing all kinds of stuff people do in their daily routine. He'll cook, eat, feed his dog, read newspapers, watch TV and from time to time he will write you a letter to let you know what he feels or what things he misses. To keep it more game-like, you can "talk" to him in form of typing commands like "feed dog". You can also play cards with him and send him food or a present. There is no aim in this game other than to interact with your LCP.

The AC World Series – Naples opened in spectacular fashion on Wednesday as strong winds and big waves created thrilling racing conditions. The AC45 catamarans, powered by their powerful wing sails, were leaping out of the water, launched into the air by the heavy sea state.
"It's cool, the sailing is pretty awesome, you can't complain when you're sailing in conditions like that," said Emirates Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker, who sits at the top of the leaderboard after two fleet races. "But it's very challenging for the boats and very taxing for the crew. The goal was to get back to the dock in one piece, which we did - it's nice to be back in good shape."
Barker and his team clawed back from deep in the fleet in race one to finish in third place. In the second race, they were able to secure a win, putting them on equal points with ORACLE Racing Spithill who also have a 1-3 on their scorecard. Barker's team gets the nod on the tiebreak by winning the last race.

Close behind are two teams who put in an outstanding performance on a challenging day. Team Korea, with young skipper Nathan Outteridge sailing his very first AC World Series regatta posted a 4-2 to sit equal on points with Energy Team, who mirrored their score.
"We couldn't expect much more than that," Outteridge said. "The big guns are ahead of us. But we're overachieving compared with expectations, so we're very, very happy."
Not surprisingly in the difficult conditions, there were teams who finished the day less content. Terry Hutchinson was leading his Artemis Racing team to a solid second place in the first race when both bows buried in impressive fashion as he rounded the top mark. The front of the boat kept going down, the wind pushing the wing over, until they capsized.
"It was a balance between racing the boat hard and not putting ourselves in a position of risk," Hutchinson explained. "I don't really feel like we put ourselves at risk but still we ended up on our side. It's just very frustrating… Luckily no one's injured, but the wing is absolutely broken… It's a real bummer, the boat was so well prepared and sorted for the regatta, and we've been going well in training, so all in all a pretty big disappointment."
China Team too suffered minor damage to its wing and didn't finish the first race, or start the second. ORACLE Racing Bundock suffered some damage to one of its hulls after flying off a wave and landing hard in race one, which ended their day. But skipper Darren Bundock said he was confident his shore team would have them ready to race for Thursday.
Both Luna Rossa crews, making their AC World Series debut turned in solid, if not spectacular performances to sit mid-fleet after the first day.
The program for Thursday starts with Match Racing, the pairings determined by today's results, followed by two Fleet Races and the Fleet Racing Championship continues. The first Match Race start is 1330 CEST.
Provisional Standings after Day One:
1. Emirates Team New Zealand (Skipper: Dean Barker)
2. ORACLE Racing - Spithill (Skipper: James Spithill)
3. Team Korea (Skipper: Nathan Outteridge)
4. Energy Team (Skipper: Yann Guichard)

The universe is full of some very odd bodies. These must be appreciated on their own terms. This nebula may look a bit like a helix, or a slinky, but its real nature is considerably further from our own experiences than its name suggests. If we call it a giant gas cloud, as it is usually described, we must be careful how we understand that description. First, 'giant' is an understatement, at least in human terms. When an object has dimensions measured in light years, and a light year is about 6 trillion miles, we must admit that its size is beyond comprehension. And when we say 'gas cloud', we must not imagine that this is anything like the clouds we see every day. It is tenuous beyond imagining. If you were in the middle of it, you might not be aware of the presence of any gas at all, as its density is so tiny. Regardless, those with a certain appreciation for these things may call it beautiful.

The proposed closing and projected restructuring by the New York City Department of Education of Beach Channel High School, Campus Magnet High School and Jamaica High School is a matter of grave concern for many residents of Southeast Queens.
Though lagging graduation rates and other issues are cited as reasons for the proposal the concern is with process, particularly as regards soliciting little community input prior to setting the wheels in motion.
It appears that those with huge stakes in the issue- parents, elected officials, civic organizations, faith-based groups, and, above all, students- were excluded from discussions on such a critical issue.
There are many questions that remain inadequately answered.
What were the exhaustive criteria used?
What will be the impact on students who may not be able to gain admission to the restructured high schools?
Given the termination of student Metro Cards by the MTA what consideration is being given to high costs for families who children will have to travel greater distances to attend high schools?
These and many other unanswered questions strongly suggest serious shortcomings in the decision making process to date.
This is not simply an appeal for recognition of institutional legacies. Yet it is an expression of deep concern about the positive impact that historic high schools have on community identity and education as a shared community value. Few would agree that underachieving schools are a community asset.
Yet all would agree that access to quality public education is a right and the most effective route to more productive and positive lives especially for poor folk of poverty.
Without earnest dialogue with residents of the local communities most affected by shifts in education policy and planning, closing and restructuring these three schools as proposed will not solve the problem of delivery of quality public education in Southeast Queens.
We do not want these schools closed.
Members of the CUCE Board of Directors

Jeff has spent several years in Japan and is what you might conservatively call a foodie – so who better to teach us about Sushi. I personally have long favoured a place called Hockey Sushi in Guelph, first visited with Maggie her boss and his family about a year ago, but Jeff suggested that we needed to try Kisara, a small restaurant on the corner of Wellington and Gordon. Admittedly we had tried to visit several times before, but the restaurant has been open intermittently. I remember this spot was once occupied by an establishment called The Red Papaya, but there were some less than stellar goings on and the restaurant closed.
See the video on sushi 101 (Guelph) – a lesson in sushi here.

Norwood officer involved in confrontation with woman to face charge
Officer still on leave pending outcome of investigation
A Norwood police officer shown on video in a confrontation with a woman inside the police station will face a criminal charge.
Hamilton County Municipal Court officials confirm Officer Robert Ward is scheduled to be arraigned on Nov. 7th, but the special prosecutor assigned to the case hasn't said what charge he'll face.
The incident happened Aug. 11. According to police documents, Denise Diallo showed up at the Norwood Police Department asking about property from a previous offense. When she was told the department could not help her, the report says Diallo walked out of the police department cursing, and then re-entered the foyer of the department. When told again she could not be assisted, she reportedly slammed the intercom phone against the receiver multiple times and walked outside, the documents say. Ward entered the lobby and told her to leave, and she attempted to re-enter, documents state.
The report says that when officers told Diallo she was under arrest, she ran into the street and was eventually taken to the ground by multiple officers. She was resisting arrest and had to be subdued more than once, police said.
The incident was caught on surveillance video inside the police station. It shows Officer Ward appearing to throw a handcuffed Diallo against a wall.
Diallo was cited for resisting arrest and criminal trespass. The documents also indicate that during the arrest, Diallo suffered major injuries to her wrist, and Ward was scratched.
Diallo was transported to the hospital for treatment of her injuries. The charges against her were later dropped.
Keith Schneider, the special prosecutor based in Columbus, was called in to investigate the allegations.
Ward remains on administrative leave.

#18 William Paterson - 66, Farmingdale State - 65 (F/2OT)
Wayne, N.J. - The Farmingdale State women's basketball team nearly knocked off #18 William Paterson but fell, 66-65, in double overtime last night in Wayne, N.J. The Rams dropped to 1-2 on the year, while the Pioneers improved to 2-1.
Trailing 27-23 at the start of the second half, Farmingdale State opened with a 7-0 run to take their first lead of the game, 30-27. The Rams led by seven, 52-45, with 4:29 remaining, before seven unanswered William Paterson points tied the game. Each team connected on one free-throw over the final 2:15 as the game headed to overtime tied 53-53.
Farmingdale State junior guard Camille Romero (Queens, N.Y.) started the overtime period with a layup and free-throw and senior guard Nicky Young (Queens, N.Y.) connected on a jumper to open up a 58-53 advantage. The Pioneers trailed by three with 14 seconds remaining, until senior forward Dana Jeter (Hamilton, N.J.) hit a 3-pointer to even the score at 60-60.
William Paterson started double overtime on a 6-0 run to lead 66-60 with 2:20 left to play. After a Christina Merrill (Levittown, N.Y.) 3-pointer and two free-throw's by Romero, the Rams trailed by only one but were unable to score over the final 1:24 and fell, 66-65.
Romero led all scorers with 23 points and senior forward Lushanta Savadel (Bellport, N.Y.) had a game-high 20 rebounds for the Rams.
The Pioneers were led by senior guard Floriana Borova (Cresskill, N.J.) who had a triple-double with 14 points, 14 rebounds and 10 steals, while senior guard Kristine Jackiewicz (Quakertown, Penn.) scored a team-leading 17 points.
Farmingdale State next will face Ithaca at the Amherst Tip-Off Tournament on Saturday, November 23rd at 8:00 p.m.

According to the complaint, both Plaintiffs eventually had problems with their Azek decking, ranging from extensive splitting and cracking in the coating, to general staining, streaking, scratches, discoloration, chalking and fading.
Bonita Springs, Florida (PRWEB) May 03, 2013
Parker Waichman LLP, a national law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of consumers, has filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Azek Deck Boards can show signs of staining, scratching, fading, discoloration, and mold and mildew deposits, despite marketing claims to the contrary by the manufacturer. The suit was filed on April 25, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois (Case No.3:13-cv-00402-WDS-SCW). CPG International Inc. and Azek Building Products Inc. have been named as Defendants.
The class action suit was filed on behalf of two men, one from Pinckneyville, Illinois, and one from Bel Air, Maryland, both of whom purchased the Azek decking material, in 2011 and 2009, respectively, manufactured by the Defendants for their respective homes to be used as outdoor decks and docks.
The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants marketed their decking – which is not made of natural wood, but rather out of synthetic material made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) – as low maintenance and able to avoid the typical drawbacks seen in traditional wood and composite decking. The Defendants alleged in their promotional material that Azek decking is resistant to damages such as stains, scratches, splits, as well as the affects of mold, mildew and moisture.
According to the complaint, both Plaintiffs eventually had problems with their Azek decking, ranging from extensive splitting and cracking in the coating, to general staining, streaking, scratches, discoloration, chalking and fading. The lawsuit is alleging that the Defendants knew or should have known that because their decking is made of PVC it is highly susceptible to color and performance degradation as a result of exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation and heat, conditions likely to occur in the outdoor applications; as well, the Defendants also knew, the lawsuit alleges, that as a direct result of using Azek decking in outdoor applications exposed to solar UV radiation and heat, Azek decking could prematurely discolor, stain, scratch, chalk, and deteriorate as a result of photo and thermal degradation.
Parker Waichman LLP continues to offer free lawsuit consultations to consumers who have purchased Azek decking. For more information, please visit the firm's Azek Decking Class Action Lawsuit page at yourlawyer.com. Free case evaluations are also available by calling 1 800 LAW INFO (1-800-529-4636).

Here is a first glimpse of Amoeba's Icon Series, artists we consider to be the greatest and most important musicians of all time.
We're starting with Louis Armstrong, indisputably one of the finest and most influential musicians ever. We've put together and remastered his lifework from thousands of difficult to find sources and we'll be making his entire catalog of over 4,000 unique performances available on Amoeba.com soon. Amongst these are many performances that most people have never heard or had access to, particularly in beautifully remastered form.
For now, here is a sampling of Louis' material from the '20s. We have remastered all these songs from pristine original 78s generously made available from the collections of some good friends of Amoeba including Terry Zwigoff, Sherwin Dunner, and Robert Crumb.
The remastering was done by our sound team headed by the renowned Shai Fishman. The team has spent countless hours doing a truly masterful job of bringing forward the warmth, clarity, and resolution of these sides.
Here is Louis as you've never heard him before. All songs are available in MP3, M4A (ALAC), and WAV. We hope you enjoy these! There are many more to come.

Take a screenshot on a Kindle Paperwhite
October 22, 2012
That image is from my fancy new Kindle Paperwhite (yes, that's an affiliate link). How did I take it? It is pretty simple:
- Tap the upper right corner of the screen and the lower left corner at the same time.
- The screen flashes.
- The image is saved at the root of your Kindle Paperwhite.
- Plug your Kindle into your computer and you'll see the images. Drag 'em on your computer and there you go.
I tweeted this earlier (and was mentioned on Mac OS X Hints causing a bit of a stir) but I figured I'd post it here.
I did try this trick on a Kindle Touch, and it didn't seem to work.

With this post we begin an examination of Part One, CHAPTER III, "The nature, object and the duties of catechesis." This Chapter covers numbered sections 77 through 91. It will probably take us through the rest of Advent. In these next posts, we will focus a bit more on the internal life of the Church, moving from the evangelical and catechumenal ministries.
77. Having outlined the place of catechesis in the Church's mission of evangelization, its relationship with the various elements of evangelization, and with other forms of the ministry of the word, this chapter examines catechesis particularly in relation to:
– the ecclesial nature of catechesis, that is to say, the agent of catechesis, the Church animated by the Holy Spirit;
– the fundamental object of catechesis;
– the tasks whereby this objective is achieved and which constitute its more immediate objectives;
– the gradual nature of the catechetical process and its catechumenal inspiration.
Moreover, in this chapter, the proper character of catechesis—already described in the preceding chapter—is examined through the analysis of its relationship with other ecclesial activities.

Mel Evans / AP file
In this July 7, 2011 file photo, Trenton Mayor Tony Mack listens to a question in Trenton, N.J. He was arrested Monday in connection with a corruption probe.
Updated at 3:10 p.m. ET: Federal authorities arrested Trenton, N.J., Mayor Tony Mack and more than half a dozen other people early Monday in connection with an ongoing corruption probe, NBC 4 New York has learned.
Joseph "JoJo" Giorgianni, a top campaign contributor, and six others were also taken into custody. Specific charges against the suspects are expected to be outlined by Paul Fishman, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, later Monday.
See the original report | More from NBCNewYork.com
Mack and the others arrested Monday were brought to the FBI office in Hamilton for processing and are scheduled to appear in federal court.
A federal magistrate on Monday ordered Mack released on $150,000 bond provided he not leave the state while free on bail, The Associated Press reported.
The arrests are the latest development in an ongoing federal investigation into alleged corruption within Mack's administration, which has been marked by accusations of nepotism and reckless spending. In July, FBI agents searched offices in Trenton City Hall a day after raiding the mayor's home. They also searched the home of his brother, Ralpiel Mack, and that of Giorgianni.
Mack's administration has been in turmoil from Day 1, staggering from one crisis to another. A housecleaning of staff at City Hall opened the door for Mack's own appointees, who quickly turned it into a revolving door. Some left over questions about their credentials, others to face criminal charges.

In Mack's first year in office in Trenton, a city of 85,000, he ran through a string of business administrators. The first resigned after a month, saying the mayor didn't believe in "good government." Another resigned just ahead of pleading guilty to embezzlement at another job.
Mack's housing director quit after it emerged that he had a theft conviction. His chief of staff was arrested trying to buy heroin. His half-brother, whose authority he elevated at the city water plant, was arrested on charges of stealing.
Questions have also been raised about how he financed his campaign for mayor.
Watch the most-viewed videos on NBCNews.com
A former longtime city employee sued the mayor late last year. The parks department employee said she was let go after refusing to dole out jobs for the mayor's friends, refusing to give federal grant money to people who didn't apply and for inquiring about city funds she said were missing.
The ex-employee also said she was replaced by a Mack supporter who never showed up for his $40,000-a-year job.
A former campaign aide told NBC 4 New York he disassociated with Mack when he "saw the way he was going."
"This is not a surprise," Jerell Blakley said of the probe into Mack's activities. "A lot of people in Trenton were of the opinion -- not of if, but when."

Empowering women working on Chiquita banana farms
Women make an important contribution in the Chiquita's farms by performing important farm work. Chiquita has very clear guidelines, codes of conduct and tools to avoid any incidents, and - should they occur – to pursue the matter with a zero-tolerance attitude. Chiquita empowers its employees to foster a work environment that is free from harassment, violence and discrimination.
In 2001, Chiquita became the first company in the banana sector to sign an international framework agreement with global and regional trade union organizations called the "IUF/ COLSIBA/Chiquita Agreement on Freedom of Association, Minimum Labor Standards and Employment in Latin America Banana Operations".
As part of the IUF / COLSIBA / Chiquita agreement, a Women's Committee was formed in
2011, which seeks improvement for women working in the banana farms. Its main goal is to promote and reinforce a safe workplace free of harassment, exclusion or inequality, and to improve the opportunities available to women by supporting their personal and professional development. This innovative model was included in the agenda of the World Banana Forum working group on labor rights and working conditions, to be supported and replicated.
In the spirit of, and in line with, the IUF / COLSIBA / Chiquita agreement, Chiquita and the local union Sitraibana in Panama set up a pilot program to serve as a role model case and as a learning experience for everyone: employees, unions and Chiquita operations. Coordinated work efforts resulted in improvements in the conditions for women working in the farms as well as the prioritization of women for specific farm tasks that were usually done by men in the past.
Chiquita will continue to do its best to improve women's occupational well-being, safety, freedom from harassment, equal treatment and job opportunities.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) For decades, Northern Iowa and Drake were guaranteed at least one home and one road game a year against a Big Ten and Big 12 team.
It was a luxury rarely afforded a Missouri Valley team - and an opportunity for a resume booster that few mid-majors could match. It's now been reduced to a single game on a neutral floor in Iowa's state capital.
The yearly home-and-home matchups the Panthers and Bulldogs had with Iowa and Iowa State have been replaced by a doubleheader, the Big Four Classic, on Saturday in Des Moines.
It's a setup that clearly favors Iowa and Iowa State, who avoid having to play road games in Des Moines and Cedar Falls. But a December doubleheader could also prove to be a roaring success with fans, so for now all four coaches are publicly expressing optimism about the event.
The Hawkeyes (8-2) will face Northern Iowa (6-3) for the 43rd time. The Cyclones (7-3) will play Drake for the 171st time, but for the first time on a neutral floor.
``It's going to be a great day for basketball. An opportunity for all four programs to be in the same building. An opportunity for two very good basketball games,'' Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson said.
Jacobson is right about that.
The Hawkeyes will be looking for a bit of payback after getting blasted up in Cedar Falls last year.
Northern Iowa handed Iowa perhaps its ugliest loss under third-year coach Fran McCaffery. The Panthers used a 21-2 run to blow out the Hawkeyes 80-60, and McCaffery was so frustrated that he got ejected.
Iowa looks like a much better team now than 12 months ago.
The Hawkeyes have won three in a row with a starting lineup that includes three freshmen; center Adam Woodbury and guards Anthony Clemmons and Mike Gesell.
Last Friday, Iowa blew past Iowa State - yes, that rivalry is still alive - behind an increasingly balanced offense strengthened by its added depth.
``It's a completely different situation than we had before, because there are so many ways we can go,'' McCaffery said. ``Now we've got guys that if they're pressuring up over here, and we've got guys over here taking shots. I have so many more things in my mind that I can go to offensively to get a basket.''
Northern Iowa has played tough against top-notch competition this season. The problem was that, up until last weekend, the Panthers hadn't actually beaten any of them.
Northern Iowa looked good in a tournament in the Bahamas in November, playing No. 6 Louisville and Memphis within five points. But the Panthers broke through with an overtime win at George Mason last week and clearly won't fear the Hawkeyes.
Northern Iowa and Iowa have split the last 12 meetings.
``They've got guys that come with it on a regular basis. Anything short of that, you don't have a chance against them. So you have to not only match that level of intensity but do a better job with it,'' McCaffery said.
Drake (4-4) is the de facto home team, since it plays its home games just a few miles away.
But the Bulldogs figure to have the longer odds than the Panthers.
Drake did beat the Cyclones in Des Moines last season, but that came in mid-November as Iowa State struggled to assimilate its slew of transfers. The Cyclones, who figure to have a large contingent of fans in Wells Fargo Arena as well, have beaten six opponents by at least 20 points and lead the all-time series with Drake 106-65.
The Iowa State-Drake game figures to be a big draw since both teams are local. The Hawkeyes are a state-wide draw, and Northern Iowa certainly has plenty of alumni scattered throughout greater Des Moines.
Tickets are reportedly close to being sold out. But even McCaffery wondered this week if fans will stay for both games or just watch the one their team is playing in.
That's just one of a number of questions about this new setup, which is scheduled to run through 2015.
``I think it's good for the state,'' Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. ``It's going to be a lot of fun for everyone involved.''

even more so when you add a beautiful Maine Coon kittycat like my Dolly Daisy into the mixture, and by doing so crank up the comedy capers content a notch or two.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
- 1 Cup Nasturtium Seeds (still firm and green)
- 1 Cup White Wine Vinegar
- 1 Teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
- 5-8 peppercorns (slightly crushed)
- Rinse and drain the nasturtium seeds and blot them well on paper towels.
- Pour the seeds into a 1 pint canning jar.
- Bring the vinegar, salt and pepper to a boil and pour over the seeds.
- Seal and refrigerate the jar and let them sit for about 3 months. Then enjoy!
The basic recipe is very simple. You can use them as is, on salads and in vegetable and fish dishes. Or you can create your own blend by adding a few additional spices.
To spice things up try adding: A clove of smashed garlic, a pinch of celery seed or pickling spice, a couple sprigs of thyme or a bay leaf.

For my swan song, I thought I'd share with you a video, based on Wolfgang Fengler's and my recent article in Foreign Affairs. I try to reconcile the optimistic and pessimistic views of Africa's growth prospects and conclude that, if African policymakers and citizens could have overcome the political resistance to macroeconomic policy reforms, they can also overcome the obstacles to the structural reforms needed to end poverty on the continent.
Let me know what you think.

Dear Shanta,
I will miss your valuable reports/comments/articles on this fantastic continent.
I wish you all the best and success also for your new adventure.
It a shame that I won't get to read your post on Africa again (although it was of recent that I started following you blog).
It has been a joy to read. I have found it particularly useful for keeping in touch on the issues affecting the rest of Africa, beyond Zambia.
It a shame that I won't get to read your post on Africa again (although it was of recent that I started following you blog). But still can't wait to hear your views on the MENA region. I am confident of your insightful and indepth views on development here. Warm Regards and Godspeed
Dear Shanta,
I unfortunately discovered your blog in the last year only and will miss your opinion and frank views. Fortunately internet will keep your wise thoughts for years to come. I am sure that the MENA region will benefit with your appointment. There is a urgent need for vision, advise and leadership in that part of the world, without partisanship. You are sure the right appointee. Congratulations and good luck. PS. Who is taking your position for Africa at the WB?
It's sad to hear you are moving to a new post and leaving Africa. Your posts have been of great interest to us and we as an organisation have benefited from them on a regular basis. On behalf of AfIA wi wish you all the best in your new appointment and thank you for keping us updated with your Africa Can... End Poverty Blog and we hope this happens one day that Povert Ends in Africa and remember to keep an eye and ear to know what is happening in Africa.
The solutions to unlocking Africa,s potential is sustained investment in capacity development, improving governance and policy developments; ie soft infrastracture
Thank you Sir,
Africa is indeed moving forward despite the challenges the continent is facing. Please Sir how can Africa strengthen its micro economy? I know you are moving to the MENA region, however if I get answer to my question it would be of much help to me because am embarking on a project for the informal sector in Africa.
Thank you and God bless you Sir
Your contribution has been inspirational. Congratulations on your new position and thank you for starting this blog.
It's been great reading your posts regarding Africa. Best luck to your new adventure.
So very sorry that this blog cannot continue. It has been so informative and helpful. Congratulations on your new appointment though.

Earlier today, Ubisoft announced that the Assassin's Creed series would be getting a new game in "fiscal 2014" that would feature a new protagonist and a new setting.
"Very interesting," you may say, twirling your mustache and reaching for your prognostication hat. "Very interesting, indeed."
I've got my wild speculation hat on (it's like a prognostication hat, but it's a little bit floppier and harder to get through doorways), and thought it might be fun for us all to make some educated (or absolutely uneducated) guesses about which bit of history the series might swashbuckle through next.
Here's what we know. It ain't much.
1.) The new game will feature a new protagonist.
2.) The new game will feature a a new setting, though that could mean anything.
3.) Ubisoft has said in the past that they wanted ACIII to "wrap up" the Desmond storyline, which makes it seem probable that we'll get a new modern-day ancestor protagonist.
4.) Ubisoft didn't say the new game would be called Assassin's Creed IV, and given how many games we got between II and III, that actually seems unlikely.
Here's what our resident Assassin's Creed expert Stephen Totilo, who is currently on the ground at the DICE convention, said when I asked him what he thought over IM:
Stephen: If it's not the Civil War, I'd be shocked
Kirk: you think?
that'd be good
they'll have the same problem as the revolution
in that the south will take the place of the British
Stephen: They could more or less use the same engine, evolve the rural and urban systems in ACIII, and carry on the American-centric vibe of this batch of games
Kirk: yeah.
more moral ambiguity
more interesting racial stuff
could be very cool
So, there's one possibility: The Civil War. It'd let Ubisoft tell a new story in a (technically) new setting while using a lot of the stuff that they built for Assassin's Creed III. They could also give us a new protagonist (who hopefully isn't as much of a boring, walking tree as Connor was), and move the setting farther inland to re-create some of the famous battles of the war. They could even possibly have some of the game take place in the south, and lift the bayou and southern architecture from the Vita game, Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. And given how that game tackled issues of slavery and race in early America, a Civil War setting could continue that on a bigger stage.
And they could also have some more naval missions, since those were pretty awesome. And players could meet Abraham Lincoln, since Abraham Lincoln is so hot right now.
And hey, since we're likely getting a new modern-day ancestor protagonist, that means we can hopefully get someone cooler than Desmond. Might I be so bold as to suggest... a woman? Yeah, yeah, I know. Unlikely. We'll probably just get another short-haired dude, but this time he'll be voiced by Troy Baker instead of Nolan North. (Which, you know, would be fine. Baker's good.)
While the Civil War does sound pretty good, or at least likely, here are some other ideas that might be cool:
- Ancient Egypt: Here's Stephen again: "For god's sake, AC Ancient Egypt, with pyramids and the Sphinx to climb would be the coolest thing ever."
- Throw The Clock Back: In ACIII, lovable asshole Shaun mentions that they could theoretically throw the Animus back to thousands of years before civilization and see what's what. While that might not make for a good game on its own, it would certainly make for some fun, wild parallel-storyline stuff.
- Feudal Japan or China: I don't think I'll ever be happy until we've had an Assassin's Creed game that lets me play as a sweet-ass cloaked killer, lighting across rooftops of China or Japan at night. Yes, it'd be a move backwards in time, which the series hasn't done yet. But who cares? This would be awesome.
- World War One: This one's from Evan, and it's pretty solid. Even if they don't go to World War One in the next game, it seems likely that at some point they will. It'd let the series make its way back to Europe, and would let them focus on a war that video games rarely explore.
- Pirates? The last one comes from a Reddit rumor thread from a poster who claims to have seen, on someone's laptop on a plane, the title Assassin's Creed: Black Flags. (That's via NeoGAF.) Another Reddit poster claims to have overheard two advertising people in a San Francisco café talking about "Black Flag" as well, though he thought it might just be DLC. That's all entirely unsubstantiated, but if it means that Ubisoft is planning some sort of pirate-centric Assassin's Creed game or expansion, sign me right the hell up.
That's enough from us; I'm taking my speculation hat off and hanging it up. But how about you guys? Any theories or wishes? Where do you think, or hope, the next Assassin's Creed game will take place?

Put simply an Apostille certificate authenticates an official seal or the signature of the public official who has signed the document in your home state. The Apostille certificate confirms the seal is official or the person that signed the document has the authority to do so and that the document should therefore be recognised as legal without further evidence in another member state. A member state being any country which has joined the Hague Convention.
Why have an Apostille certificate?
Prior to the introduction of Apostille certificates the burden on international courts and authorities to judge foreign documents as authentic was quite considerable. On the 5 October 1961 the Hague Convention abolished the requirement of legalisation for foreign public documents. The Convention reduces all of the formalities of legalisation to the simple delivery of a certificate in a prescribed form, entitled "Apostille", by the authorities of the State where the document originates. This certificate, placed on the document, is dated, numbered and registered. The verification of its registration can be carried out without difficulty by means of a simple request for information addressed to the authority which delivered the certificate.
Which countries recognise Apostille certificates?
There are currently over 60 member states of the Hague convention, follow this link to a list of these apostille countries. In addition to those countries which are members of the Hague convention many other countries will also recognise an Apostille certificate. We recommend you check with the entity you intend to present the Apostille certificate to as to whether the Apostille certificate will be acceptable.
For countries that do not accept the apostille on its own we can usually offer a full embassy attestation service. For example, documents being used in the UAE, Qatar or China require embassy attestation and we can take care of this for you.
What type of document can be certified by an Apostille?
Virtually any official document can be legalised through the Apostille process. Follow the link to a list of the most popular documents. If the document you want legalised for use overseas is not listed please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss the details.
I have multiple documents, do I need multiple Apostille Certificates?
When ever possible we will legalise your documents under one Apostille to keep your costs to a minimum, this is however not always possible. For example, multiple Company Documents can be legalised under one Apostille but two Birth Certificates would require two separate Apostilles. We will advise on the most cost effective way to legalise your documents if you are not sure.
What information is contained on the Apostille?
The certificate contains the following information:
How long does it take?
We aim to have your Apostille certificate issued within five working days from receipt of your documents and payment. Delivery time is dependant on the return delivery service you order.
How do I use your Apostille service?
Please complete this order form or contact us by calling free on 0800 772 34 39. One of our advisers will be happy to discuss your requirements, arrange payment and receipt of your documents for issue with the Apostille.

Conservation and Environment in South Africa: Monthly Updates
Legodimo Nature Reserve - November 2009
Even hotter!!!! Car trouble and more car trouble and loads of good conservation!
November was extremely hot but at least we had some rain which makes a huge difference in temperature as well as smells, colours and the number of creatures that emerge from their hiding spots.
The Botswana government decided to implement some new legislation which made it impossible for some of our vehicles as well as staff to remain in the country. We struggled to get by with what we had as well as some vehicles kind neighbours lent us.
Matt stayed in Alldays whilst we were waiting for all his documentation and paper work to realise and Kathy went home for a while to spend the festive time with her family. We are really looking forward to having her back as she always makes everyone smile. We really miss Matt's cooking and can't wait to have him back too. Mieke's cooking skills are luckily on par and we are still having fantastic meals to keep energy levels high for fighting "aliens". We were very sad to see Dave go and wish him great success in the future.
If it wasn't the border officials giving our vehicles a hard time, it was the bad roads. We lost count of the number of flat tyres we had eventually.
As far as our projects went, we did some very hard and rewarding work. We removed loads and loads of alien plants (prickly pear - Opuntia ficus indica) as well as some queen of the night cactus from Mexico. This is a very painful task as these plants protect themselves with minute thorns that are sometimes invisible to the naked eye.
In the 45o + temperatures we had, this was a very testing task.
It is however crucial that we remove these invasive species as they can if uncontrolled, take over vast stretches of land, making it impenetrable to anything apart from birds and insects. We got stuck in and cleared a reasonable area.
On one of our bird observations we got Black stork which we don't often get to see. It seems as if the birdlife might get more varied as the rains increase.
As always we continued with our fence removal project and finished yet another section of the reserve ridding it of a couple of kilometres of barbed wire.
We hope next month will prove to be far better and to see more wildlife return with the rains.
African greetings,
Gerrit Prinsloo
Conservation Director

When asking the woman of your dreams to be your wife you want to make sure you make it memorable and special. Consider using these ideas from TheKnot.com to make your proposal a success.
Public proposal ideas
Before you go with a public proposal, make sure your girlfriend is the type of person who wants to be proposed to in public. While some girls might love to see a proposal light up the sky in fireworks, others might want something more private.
- Create a scavenger hunt and at the end let you find you down on one knee.
- Throw a party with your friends and family and let her enjoy your proposal with all of her loved ones.
- Have a caricaturist draw the two of you and have the artist include your proposal in the drawing.
Private proposal ideas
If your girlfriend prefers a more private or intimate proposal, consider some of these ideas.
- Recreate Monica and Chandler's proposal from "Friends" by lighting up your home or apartment with candles to set the stage for a romantic proposal.
- Put the engagement ring in her jewelry box in place of the jewelry she normally wears. When she sees it in the morning surprise her with a proposal.
- Write a love note with a proposal in it and hide it on her pillow or at the breakfast table. When she reads it get down on one knee and present her with the ring.
Creative proposal ideas
If you're looking for a unique proposal, consider these ideas.
- Create your own crossword puzzle that includes your proposal.
- Spell your proposal out in magnets on the refrigerator.
- Play Scrabble or Hang Man and spell out your proposal.

A Maryland mother has been charged with child abuse after leaving her 4-year-old child unattended at a casino parking garage for approximately eight hours.
According to Anne Arundel County Police, crews responded to a Maryland Live! Casino parking garage around 6:30 p.m. on New Year's Eve for an unattended child inside a parked car.
An investigation revealed that the child's mother, 24-year-old Alicia D. Brown of Baltimore, entered the garage around 10 a.m. then went to the casino.
U.S. & World
The child appeared to be in good health and showed no signs of physical abuse. According to a police report, blankets covered the rear windows of the vehicle so that no one could see the child inside.
Brown was charged with child abuse, confining an unattended child and neglect of a minor. She was released on a $150,000 bond Wednesday.
President and General Manager of Maryland Live! Casino Rob Norton released the following statement to News4:
"Incidents of parental neglect and lack of personal responsibility are disturbing. We are thankful that our security team was able to intervene and get the appropriate authorities involved and that we found the child unharmed."

"Itachi's Question!!" (イタチの問い!!, Itachi no Toi!!) is chapter 549 of the original Naruto manga.
Nagato talks to Naruto about how his expression has changed since their last meeting. Naruto says he was able to conquer his hatred because of his parents, B, and Nagato's teachings of pain. Itachi tells Naruto that he wants to ask him a question, and Naruto says the same. Meanwhile, Kabuto is glad that he has found the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails first and wonders what Tobi's reaction will be. Kabuto commands them to attack. Itachi attacks with a fireball, B cuts it in half with his Samehada. Itachi begins to fight with Naruto, and B. As they fight Itachi asks Naruto about Sasuke. Naruto tells him about Sasuke's desire to destroy Konoha and that Tobi told him about Itachi's secret mission. Itachi asks Naruto to keep his mission a secret as he wants the Uchiha name to keep its reputation. Nagato pulls Naruto and a rock from the nearby lake in a head-on collision, but Naruto dodges it. Nagato summons two creatures. Naruto attacks the dog as it multiplied. Itachi and B fight each other. Itachi jumps on to Nagato's bird and activates his Mangekyō Sharingan. A crow emerges from Naruto's mouth.

Numerous primitive and tribal cultures believe a person's soul is stolen when they're photographed. I wonder if a photograph shows a soul being drained.
I'm delving into mental and photographic snapshots of my 12 year expat experience for a colleague's blog: one highlight, one lowlight. The lowlight will be hard to choose.
My five years in Asia in the '90s would amount to great adventure for most people, yet the evidence clumps together in my least favorite albums.
Off-camera life losses — separation from family, friends, language, community, the death of my best friend, the theft of my puppy, you name I lost it during my first longterm stint abroad — are reflected on-camera. Stripped of my cosmopolitan composure. Confident clothing. Gleaming skin. Chocolate curls. Toothy smile. Layer by layer, country by country, year by year I deplete and erode.
There are some monstrous stunners here.
Sweaty and sun-damaged with unschooled fluffball haircut, captured in the gracious gardens of Raffles Hotel. I'd given up sunscreen, as well as hair products and all hope of finding a stylist who understood fine and curly.
On the Great Wall of China, scowling Westerner in unladylike Doc Martens and baggy seersucker shorts (the only ones in the shops, I swear!), surrounded by svelte Chinese girls in platform shoes cheerfully waving tour company flags.
Thankfully these days the likelihood of snapping a picturesque portrait has gone way up even if my background doesn't always match me.
What do your bluest images depict and how do they reveal the soul's resiliency?

Pippa and James Middleton, sister and brother of Kate Middleton, took part in the Vasaloppet cross-country ski marathon today in Sweden. The two skied the 56-mile course to raise money for charity, but Pippa had another reason to smile as she crossed the finish line: A mysterious stranger came running out of the crowd of spectators and planted a big kiss on her cheek. She handled it very gracefully, and he is now probably hero to the millions of men who've fallen for Pippa since she made her public debut at the Royal wedding.
It turns out his name is Erik Smedhs, and he described his decision to plant one on Pippa as, "[T]otally spontaneous, really innocent, just a cheek kiss." As might be expected, he enjoyed the experience, "For having been skiing for 56 miles she was surprisingly fresh." Ahh, naturally. Apparently before landing one on her, he explained himself, so as to not seem like a total creep: "I told her that we have a tradition here in Mora when you reach the goal and then I kissed her. It actually is a tradition, but just for the winner of the race." Oh, well, rules schmules.
Poor James, the oft forgotten third sibling in the Middleton family made good time—finishing in six hours and 37 minutes—but did not receive any kisses from random admirers. He'll just have to be happy with the satisfaction that he beat his sister (who came in at seven hours and 13 minutes) in the oldest, and one of the longest, cross-country ski races in the world. Ho hum.

The minor league season is winding down, but Wagner will at least get a taste of full-season Class A ball in the South Atlantic League. Kannapolis, which is rolling and looks like a lock to qualify for the SAL playoffs, is on the road the rest of this month and finishes the regular season at home from Sept. 1-7. Wagner, 21, is a left-handed swinging second baseman who was batting .258 with one homer, 10 doubles, 11 steals and 26 RBIs in 56 games at rookie-level Bristol. He's impressed some people and has been told by the White Sox he'll be part of their instructional league in Arizona this fall.
UPDATE: London has more on Wagner here.

Actor Daniel Baldwin is splitting with his wife of four years, saying he decided to file for divorce for the safety of their two young children and himself.
Baldwin, 50, made the divorce move Wednesday, one day after he filed a temporary restraining order against Joanne Smith, who was removed from their Portland house by sheriff's deputies, E! Online reported.
"My hopes and prayers are with Joanne that she may recover from her recent problems and reclaim her role in our children's lives," Baldwin said in a statement. "I have had my share of problems with drugs and alcohol many years ago and know first hand how difficult a position she is in."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Baldwin and Smith, a former fashion model who is now a chef, married in July 2007.
The judge who signed off on the restraining order gave Baldwin temporary custody of their two daughters, Us Weekly said.

Random Dancing with the Stars News – Seasons 8 and 9
Jewel nixes the idea that she would try DWTS Season 9 – she and hubby Ty Murray (Season 8 – 4th place) are trying to have a baby. Numerous websites are reporting this, but I've linked to Star Magazine.
We won't be seeing this anytime soon, if the Star is correct.
Cheryl Burke is telling anyone and everyone about her relationship – and hey, I don't blame her. The guy is HOT and a health nut. 🙂
According to People and StarTraks Photos Cheryl also threw a 4th of July party in Malibu. If the pictures are anything to go by, she and Derek (at least) had a great time. There are a couple more larger pictures of Derek and Cheryl at Pure Derek Hough.
I think all true DWTS addicts probably know by now that Louis Van Amstel, a professional dancer who was on several early seasons paired with Lisa Rinna (among others), has moved over to So You Think You Can Dance as a choreographer. And from what I've seen he's doing a very good job. But that isn't DWTS only connection to SYTYCD! DWTS Judge Carrie Ann Inaba has teamed up with the executive producer of SYTYCD, Nigel Lithgow, Katie Holmes and Director Adam Shankman to create Dizzy Feet Foundation. The steering committee of the foundation also boasts Paula Abdul, Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Lopez. The foundation's Mission Statement includes providing scholarships and grants to talented dancers and choreographers working at or through accredited studios and to provide dance education programs to underpriviledged children.
You can see Katie Holmes dance to promote the foundation on So You Think You Can Dance's 100th episode on July 23rd. Apparently, Katie dances very well. I would expect as much because, although I've never been a big fan, I did see her sing and dance on defunct show Eli Stone and she was surprisingly good.
