Assassin's Creed III: Evolution of the Templar Order
If you're a series newcomer interested in jumping into the fray with Assassin's Creed III, a lapsed fan who missed one of the games, or a dedicated follower who just wants a refresher course, this article will catch you up on the era-spanning conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templars.
[Note: This article contains spoilers for each of the Assassin's Creed games and the extended fiction. If you wish to experience these reveals firsthand, I suggest skipping this article.]
Getting To Know The Templars
Founded historically in 1119, though said to be active in various forms since the 5th century BCE according to the Creed lore, the Order of the Knights Templar is a secret organization that strives to achieve the betterment of humanity by exercising control and influence over the masses. Unlike the Assassins, who embrace free will and oppose such a rigid system of development for humankind, Templars believe that order is the only way for our species to realize its ultimate potential. The philosophical gulf between the two shadow organizations has led to centuries of bloodshed.
Since the 12th century, most of the central disputes between the Templars and Assassins have revolved around artifacts known as Pieces of Eden. These advanced technologies left behind by the First Civilization possess the abilities to heal the wounded, communicate telepathically over long distances, and bend the thoughts of the masses to the will of the artifact's owner. To the Templars, having these items in their possession greatly aids their goal of using subjugation to achieve world peace. The Assassins vehemently oppose the misappropriation of these powerful instruments and seek to stop their acquisition at every turn.
The Pieces of Eden have already left their mark on world history. Many believe they have played a role in major world events like Joan of Arc turning the tide of the Hundred Years' War between France and England, the creation of the Napoleonic Empire, and Germany's rise to power preceding World War II.
The Modernization of the Order
When we last left the Assassins in the historical timeline, Ezio had all but eradicated the Templar influence throughout most of Renaissance Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Though crippled in Europe, the Templars retained their strength in other regions in the world, even helping Emperor Jiajing secure his power in China.
During the Age of Enlightenment the Templar Order re-examined its organizational structure and decided that after years of controlling seats of power directly and using religion to exercise dominion over the masses, it would be wiser to influence world leaders like puppeteers. The Templars also shifted away from religious doctrine and embraced forward-looking concepts like science, technology, and trade to further its cause.
Not much is known about the Templar activities during the discovery of the New World, and for good reason. To avoid spoilers, Ubisoft wants to keep the identities of the American Revolution Templars under wraps for the time being, but the dev team was willing to divulge how the Templars have evolved over the years since the reign of the Borgia.
"I think early on one of the fun things in [the first] Assassin's Creed was that the Templars weren't mindless villains," says Assassin's Creed III creative director Alex Hutchinson. "They were kind of misunderstood – there were a lot of gray zones. Then over the course of the sequels it become more villainous and it also became very entrenched in the Borgias, in very specific characters who were really evil. With Assassin's Creed III we want to get back to that notion that they think they are doing the right thing. We as players disagree completely, but they honestly believe they are doing the right thing."
Coming out of the Ezio trilogy, many of the fiction stewards felt the game stopped being about the shadow war between the Assassins and Templars and started to focus too much on the rivalry between Ezio and the Borgias. Assassin's Creed III returns the focus to the global conspiracy, and emphasizes the moral gray zones this war is waged in. Things aren't as cut and dry as Assassins/Americans versus Templars/Brits, and the discussion between the two groups won't be confined to the post-assassination pow wows in the Animus white room. As an assassin, you will target people on both sides of the war.
The Freemason Connection
One interesting real-world historical event to note is the public death of the Knights Templar. In 1307, King Philip IV of France arrested the leaders of the Knights Templar to take possession of their wealth. During this crackdown, the last Grand Master of the Templars, Jacques de Molay, was burned at the stake. According to Assassins lore, before he met his fiery death he imparted the knowledge of the Ancients to his nine most trusted men with instructions to spread their influence throughout the world. Some historians speculate that they stayed underground until re-emerging in the 1700s as the Freemasons.
Why is this worth nothing? Prominent figures in the Freemason secret society during the American Revolution include George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Joseph Warren, and Paul Revere. From what Ubisoft has told us, Assassin's Creed III protagonist Connor associates with both Washington and Franklin, so how this version of the Freemason history fits into the battle between the Templars and Assassins remains a mystery.
"We have a very accurate depiction of the Masons in our game, and that's all I can say," says lead writer Corey May.
As one of the glyphs left by Subject 16 in Assassin's Creed II intimated, Washington eventually gained possession of an Apple of Eden.
The Modern Era
We know much more about the Templar Order in the contemporary era than we do about its involvement in the 13 colonies. In 1910, the Templars devised The Plan, a new directive strategy built around using the capitalistic market to further the organization's larger goals. High profile Templars like automotive pioneers Henry Ford and Ransom E. Olds, help shaped the new strategy, which equally controls workers and capitalists and eventually led to the formation of the Federal Reserve System. The Plan's masterstroke was the formation of Abstergo Industries in 1937. This multinational corporation still serves as the front and the central research facility for all modern Templar activities.
Since the formation of the company, the Templars have been on a roll. They successfully used the fear and devastation of World War II to further their cause, assassinated U.S. President John F. Kennedy over a dispute about the mission to the moon (where the Templars eventually uncovered another Apple of Eden), and helped Boris Yeltsin transform Russia into a free market more easily manipulated by Abstergo's many capitalistic endeavors.
As outlined in the comic book Assassin's Creed: The Fall, in late 2000 the Templars executed the biggest blow to their chief rivals in centuries when a sleeper agent named Daniel Cross successfully infiltrated the Assassin Brotherhood, murdered the Mentor, and revealed the locations of several secret Assassin compounds to the Templars. This confidential information enabled the Templars to initiate the Great Purge, a systematic eradication of the Assassin organization. They subsequently sacked Assassin bases in Arizona, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Texas.
With the Assassins in shambles, the Templars are working diligently to recover the Pieces of Eden. Their plan is to gather as many First Civilization artifacts as possible and incorporate them into the Eye-Abstergo satellite, which is scheduled to launch on December 21, 2012. Coincidentally, this day also marks the end of an era in the Mayan long count calendar. The Assassins believe the Templars will use the satellite to brainwash the world and usher in a new world order.
When we last left modern day protagonist Desmond Miles at the end of Assassin's Creed Revelations, he had awakened from his coma and reunited with his father William, who ostensibly serves as the de facto leader of the Assassins now that the Mentor is dead. The father-son tandem is in possession of one of the Apples of Eden, but only Desmond has the DNA makeup that lets him wield it without succumbing to its power. Why they have traveled to upstate New York remains a mystery, but the location must have some significance in relation to the First Civilization because Ezio and Leonardo found the geographical coordinates in the Brotherhood DLC "The Da Vinci Disappearance" before shrugging them off as meaningless.
At the end of the Assassin's Creed Revelations multiplayer story, Abstergo located William Miles and was prepping an assault on his location in upstate New York. Thus, the stage is set for a thrilling cap to Desmond's story. We can't wait to find out who the Templars are in the American Revolution and to see how Desmond's story comes to a head.

I believe that these are known as silk knots and not cuff knots.ReplyDelete
Anon- Different names for the same thing. But yeah, I am specifically talking about silk knots in this case.ReplyDelete

Anon @10:09- Fuck Yeah Menswear called. They want their swag back.ReplyDelete
Those felt flowers you linked to - where can one find those?ReplyDelete
The ones I linked up are Ladrini lapel flowers. Can't find any for sale on the web. Hit up Google. Good luck and god speed.
Thanks - the JHP are a bit busy though, I prefer the cartoon/popart look of the Lardini. Do you know shops in NYC that stock Lardini? (website wasn't any help) I think I might have seen it Barneys once but not sure.ReplyDelete

Why not try a swivel-backed cuff link from J.C. Penney or other fine retailer? A large colored stone would be nice.ReplyDelete
Why do you own not a single french cuff shirt?ReplyDelete

Do you rock them on both lapels, or just the left?ReplyDelete
Lawrence, it's time to put Sart Inc. into smash mode.ReplyDelete
Jesse- Because I don't like them. They are too stuffy for my tastes. And since I don't go to black tie events on the reg it's not that big of a deal.ReplyDelete

(had to edit) I usually only read this site on my RSS feed but do like to come and see what snarky, unbelievably cynical comments the usual Anon dude (or dudette I suppose) has to say about someone else's opinions. It's pretty funny how seriously this individual takes menswear, worth actually visiting the site to read their comments. Yo! Anonymous! Visit howradwasit.blogspot.com and make fun of my shit too! Maybe it'll inspire me to post more.ReplyDelete

DAMN! Sweet...thanks for posting. I have several cuff knots but only one shirt with french cuffs. This definitely gives me some ideas.ReplyDelete
Monochrome leaves leaves the tie choices open, but I would think the striped knot leaves one to approach the tie as the same with a pocket square. What tie were you rocking with the blue/white or red/white knots?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 4, 2010 at 3:30 AM
Anyone know if it's safe to cut open the button hole? Most of the jackets at Brooks actually only sew on the eyelet pattern, but there's no actual gap in between them. It's more for just for lapel pins. The lady said if you cut the slit open it would ruin the jacket. Comments?ReplyDelete
They are irresistible. I like your idea. I don't have many french cuff shirts (only one) but now I have another use for my cuff knots. ThanksReplyDelete

Holy needless asdf-install, Batman!
Okay, so I decided to do a bit of hacking tonight that involved installing cffi. Before I started, for the first time in a long time, I actually upgraded SBCL and blew away my
~/.sbcl directory. Then I typed it:
(require 'asdf-install) (asdf-install:install 'cffi)
Those commands managed to pull down 21 different packages! In itself, that might be the right thing to do for something that has a lot of dependencies, but after looking in
~/.sbcl/systems I found that I had:
alexandria.asd babel.asd babel-streams.asd babel-tests.asd cffi.asd cffi-examples.asd cffi-grovel.asd cffi-tests.asd cffi-uffi-compat.asd iterate.asd lift.asd lift-documentation.asd lift-test.asd metabang-bind.asd metabang-bind-test.asd rt.asd stefil.asd swank.asd trivial-features.asd trivial-features-tests.asd trivial-gray-streams.asd
So, that included five different unit test packages, plus the three different unit test frameworks (Lift, RT, and Stefil) dedicated to running them. I also got Swank thrown in. Honestly, I was waiting for the free set of Ginsu knives. ("But wait, there's more...!")
Here's the thing, people. When I install a package, I don't want your unit tests. Or the unit test framework necessary to run them. That's all just cruft that takes time, space, energy, etc. I mean, I'm glad that people are using unit tests and all, but as a user of your package, I shouldn't have to care about unit tests. Presumably, when developing/releasing your package, you ran your tests. That's all good. But if they passed for you, they'll also pass for me. Unless I'm going to start hacking your package, they're just a nuisance for me. If I am going to start hacking your package, I'm probably going to pull the source directly from git or darcs or CVS or Subversion, not asdf-install. At a minimum, can we all agree to remove dependencies on Lift, RT, and Stefil.
If I really want to run your tests, and I have installed them using asdf-install, I'm perfectly willing to install those other packages using a separate asdf-install command.
As for Swank, while I love it, again, if I want it in my environment, I'll install it separately, thank you very much.
Summary: Please keep your package dependencies to a minimum. If you really need to have a package that pulls in a huge set of dependencies to create a full environment (e.g. Swank and such), please separate your core library functionality from the top-level environment package and allow those of us with minimal tastes to simply install your core library functionality by itself.
I personally am glad for any packaging effort that anyone does in their free time. I most willingly trade my download and installation time for any effort put into more testing, more documentation, better code.
After all, what you are ranting about is open source software, and "open source" indeed means hackable. To be hackable, the unit tests and the environment required to run them is needed. Thus, it is the right thing to have them be dependencies.
If you want a binary-only, low-footprint Lisp distribution, create one yourself or buy a commercially supported Lisp.
You could try using clbuild instead of creaky old asdf-install; it is more specific in digging up dependencies, and tries to avoid the unit-test framework dependencies.
Good unit tests also serve as excellent working examples, and should be more up-to-date and correct than the documentation. That's the theory anyway...
If you are smart enough to code in Lisp, you are never a mere user. You are a potential contributor. That is one reason you should have the tests. And that tests are documentation is not theory, it is practice. And the fact that a test passed for me does not mean it will pass for you. And last, I am proud of my testcases and want to show them to the other lispers, to show how testing is done. Test-first design is the biggest invention that has happened since the 80:s, and not enough lispers have got it yet, in my humble opinion.
Answering comments...
Hans, thanks, but I am well aware of how open source works. In fact, during the day, I work for an open source company (Vyatta). :-) I'm not suggesting I want a binary-only distribution. I simply would like it if packages pulled in a minimal set of dependencies such that installing something as simple as CFFI doesn't result in 5 useless packages of units tests, and 3 different test frameworks. That's just dumb.
Antifuchs, thanks! I'll take a look at clbuild.
MattC, yes, unit tests can serve as excellent examples. I fully agree. All I'm saying is, if I want them, I'll install them. That is, I'm not suggesting that unit tests should not be available (even under asdf-install, though I still doubt I would install them that way if I wanted them). I'm merely suggesting that packages should not install them by default. They are not necessary to run the package. Therefore, they are optional and extraneous in many cases.
Henrik, thanks for your confidence in my intelligence. And yes, we're all potential contributors. But I'm also a potential Linux contributor, and I'm thankful that my Linux distribution doesn't pull in every bit of source that might be used to build the system. While I might contribute to a number of projects, in reality, I contribute to only a very few, and then only as I find something I really need and have time. In those cases, I'm more than happy to install extra code necessary to build the system.
Test suites are one step beyond checksums for downloads. They are needed particularly because Lisp libraries are distributed as source. How can you tell if the source library you downloaded is valid and will work the way you expect? As opposed to a completely broken version of the library accidentally packaged up as a tarball? Run the test suites.
The test suites are also helpful if you end up needing support for these free downloads. Who can be sure that you have exactly the same point release of Lisp compiler, same OS environment, and exactly the same point release of every other Lisp (and foreign) library loaded into your image?
How can you be sure the bug is in the library and not your code or some other part of your environment? If things don't work the way you expect, the first thing you should do is run the tests.
I am with you. If I wanted all of the tests, I would have installed the dev package instead. That said, I just realized that the way ASDF-Install handles multiple ASD files means I should have bundled the part of my FFT library that uses pcall/Bordeaux-threads separately from the rest. Oops.
Luís is right here. Packages are correctly expressing their test systems' dependencies on test frameworks. For example, the cffi system does not depend on RT, whereas the cffi-tests system does.
>> ... Presumably, when developing/releasing your package, you ran your tests.
Yes we did. Unfortunately it's not as simple as that though. There are so many CL implementations and possible recipient architectures that as a non-commercial package developer you can't test for all possible CL/OS/arch combinations. Therefore if you're going to use my package you'd better run the tests first to make sure you're not wasting your time.
But you're right. ASDF is a fairly sucky package system and it would be nice to have a choice about installing the dev pieces.
s11 said: Packages are correctly expressing their test systems' dependencies on test frameworks. For example, the cffi system does not depend on RT, whereas the cffi-tests system does.
It's fine for a test package (e.g. cffi-tests) to depend on a test package. It isn't fine for cffi to depend on cffi-tests. I'd be shocked if a set of unit tests were actually important code for the functioning of the system. If that's the case, then the test really isn't a test. By definition, it's really part of the code itself. So, for instance, I'm simply suggesting that cffi break the dependency between it and cffi-tests. Ditto with babel and babel-tests, lift and lift-test, metabang-bind and metabang-bind-test, etc. As an alternative, I suggested that people at least break the dependency between the test package and the test framework, but that's a second-place answer, IMO.
Steve Knight said: Yes we did. Unfortunately it's not as simple as that though. There are so many CL implementations and possible recipient architectures that as a non-commercial package developer you can't test for all possible CL/OS/arch combinations. Therefore if you're going to use my package you'd better run the tests first to make sure you're not wasting your time.
Yes, but if I like your package, I'm probably going to install it multiple times, on multiple different machines, using a similar CL implementation. And after I have run the tests once, I'm probably not going to run them again. They're just bloat for me at that point. Again, I'm fine with you distributing tests and I'm fine with you suggesting that people install and run them as a part of installing your package. I simply think it's bogus to create a dependency from the main package to a test package, which then creates a dependency on a test framework, and on and on.
Part of this overall problem is caused by ASDF not being as rich as it probably could be, but part of it is simply sloppy packaging on the part of authors.
The right way to do this, IMO, is to make two packages, foo and foo-tests for example. But instead of having foo depend on foo-tests, have foo-tests depend on foo. Installing foo only installs foo an any real dependencies. Installing foo-tests brings in foo, if not installed already, and anything required for the tests to run (frameworks like RT, Lift, Stefil, etc.).
It's fine for a test package (e.g. cffi-tests) to depend on a test package. It isn't fine for cffi to depend on cffi-tests.
And indeed, cffi doesn't depend on cffi-tests.
Something like Swank can completely shaft my ability to connect to my production servers due to version incompatibilities. This is very annoying and I do not use swank via asdf in any of my code for this reason.
I do find it very useful to get the tests.
The tests are (hopefully) a very accurate source of documentation. I refer to tests frequently enough that it would be a bind to have to download them separately. I guess most prefer choice. But should we also separate the documentation as yet another package. It all gets a bit cumbersome, especially as most Lisp libraries are relatively small.

My cupcake obsession has been waning as of late. With gourmet doughnuts, bread pudding, and whoopie pies wrestling for my affections, cupcakes have taken a back seat. While I still think that they're unrivaled in the cuteness department, I no longer feel that strong pull to sample every specimen that looks my way. Or so I thought…
Elina Shatkin, the latest addition to The Weekly's squad of discerning critics, recently penned a piece about Frosted Cupcakery's flavor of the month: Bacon Cornbread Cupcake. Her enthusiastic prose reignited my old friend Compulsion. I hadn't felt strongly about a cupcake in months, but I had to try this bacon dotted, honey frosted cornbread cupcake—no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
The Astronomer and I dropped into Frosted ten minutes before closing two Saturdays ago. Since we couldn't arrive any earlier, I made sure to call in and reserve a bacon cornbread cupcake. It was a good thing that I did, because the entire batch was sold out by the time we came in. Luckily, the gal who answered my call delivered as promised and there was one Flavor of the Month left with my name on it.
I decided to pick up three additional flavors since they looked so lovely behind the glass case ($2.95 each). We were meeting up with a group of friends for dinner at Pa-Ord Noodle soon after, so I knew these sweet treats would be appreciated.
After polishing off our bowls of spicy-as-heck boat noodles, I busted out the cupcakes for dessert. The first one on deck was the highly-anticipated bacon cornbread cupcake, which was frosted with honey buttercream and sprinkled with flakes of sea salt.
The cake offered the perfect balance between fluff and corn, while the frosting tasted rich and not too sweet. The salty shards atop the buttercream were a very nice touch. Sadly, the pieces of bacon in the batter were on the soggy side and didn't do much to enhance the cupcake. The entire table agreed that the creation would've been better off if the chewy bacon had never come to play. Oh, well. Bacon can't save the day every day! On to the next…
The remaining three cupcakes were all very well executed. We could find no fault with the yellow cupcake with chocolate buttercream…
…nor the chocolate cupcake with peanut butter buttercream—the mashed up Butterfingers on top were a hit!
But everyone's favorite was the seasonal pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese frosting. The spiced cake was so bouncy and nice that I wanted to jump on it like a trampoline and nuzzle my face into its orifices. Yes, orifices.
If only for a night, it was a pleasure reuniting with my beloved cupcakes.

Poop-Monster Living Large In Trailer Park – November 12, 2012
• Wednesday, October 3 9:59 p.m. After a man put gasoline in his diesel-powered vehicle in Valley West, he had an extra-special parking lot tantrum, kicking and yelling and his misfueled chariot until the tow truck came.
• Thursday, October 4 1:19 a.m. A man called 911 from Room 219 at a lowlife-infested Valley West motel, asking for the motel's phone number. It was given, though he admitted that he knew calling 911 for non-emergencies is a misdemeanor. He then rephoned the APD business line, making odd comments and suggesting that police "check him out." He said he was transferring to HSU from Las Vegas, and made several nonsensical comments about his hometown. Soon he was calling 911 again, saying that he was actually transferring from West Texas and asking for an ashtray. Told that he had called the police, and not motel management, he quipped that he "only had four beers in his system." He then called back to notify authorities that he was going to sleep and didn't wish for any police contact. That might have concluded the saga, except that the motel manager then called police to relate complaints other lodgers had made about the garrulous guest, including his attempting to look up women's skirts. An officer related the motel's "final warning to the man," and recommended that he calm down, shut his door and turn off the lights.
11:13 a.m. If you need to leave your backpack and flute in your parked car on Janes Road, go that extra inch and push the door-lock button down to avert later conversations with police.
2:44 p.m. A delusional woman who lives in her car showed up at the police station with an eclectic range of concerns. She said she had been "exposed" to a lethal dose of heroin, that people were somehow eavesdropping on her conversation with police and that these people were trying to kill her. Various celebrities were also following her, and, she said, she was related to John Gotti and other Mafia drug lords. She wanted to further confer with Napa Police and an "FBI detective" to get her son back.
3:53 p.m. A representative of an F Street cooperative supermarket came to the station with a box of found property. Items included a white shirt, a black tote bag, a brown paper bag containing a new toilet seat cover and a dish, more clothing, a book, necklace, glasses, a key, a coffee mug and a tin box full of quarters.
5:09 p.m. A woman with an unleashed dog on H Street wasn't doing the image of aggressive panhandlers any favors. When a man in a store told the woman he wouldn't give her any money, she helpfully notified him that, "You could step out and I'll shank you." Police found and arrested her at 10th and H streets, and took her poor dog to the shelter.
6:21 p.m. A suspected shoplifter at a 13th Street marketplace was visiting from the Czech Republic, cooperated and paid for his items.
• Friday, October 5 12:56 a.m. A woman went to the hospital with after something known only as "Jim" pushed her down and made her hit her head on a heating radiator.
11:31 a.m. A homeless woman who had arrived in town the day before said she suspected that she had been raped while camping in the redwoods with people she just met. She said she woke up with all her clothes off and didn't remember anything else. As an officer picked her up at the station, the Sexual Assault Response Team and Rape Crisis personnel were summoned. An officer then interviewed a suspect with a green hat and blue backpack on the Plaza.
8:28 p.m. A pack of drunken young neighborhood toughs bedeviled a resident in the area of Chestnut Place and Stewart Avenue. They often gather at an Alliance Road retaining wall to marshall their semi-feral forces for nighttime misadventures to follow.
8:36 p.m. A thin, shaven-headed, drugged-looking man roamed Cedar Drive, knocking on doors and asking one resident if he knew how to patch a tire on his bike.
• Saturday, October 6 4:01 a.m. A man in a 1900 block of H Street apartment chose this wee hour to go rather loudly berserk. First he "blasted" music with his sliding glass door open, which didn't mask the bellowing of his argument with himself. When a neighbor went to his door and asked him to quiet down, things went about as well as you'd expect, which was not at all (especially if you factor in the death threat). According to the neighbor, the man strode forth from his thundering domicile without benefit of shoes or shirt, brandishing a butcher knife, pointing it at himself and making nonsensical statements. When police got to him, he was fully unable to care for himself and was committed to a mental health institution.
11:55 a.m. A nice guitar was stolen from a man's car, either at his H Street apartment building or the HSU Library lot. It was a dark brown, all-wood Roland GR 303.
12:36 p.m. In roughly the same area – the 1900 block of G Street – someone came in through a kitchen window and stole a $1,000 MacBook Pro.
12:39 a.m. Back over to the 1800 block of G Street, where someone attempted to break in to an apartment, but succeeded only in breaking the window.
• Sunday, October 7 1:05 a.m. A drunken ex-boyfriend made a full-court press to get into a 14th Street woman's apartment, banging on the front door, ringing the doorbell and refusing to leave. Her calling him on his cell phone did nothing to stave him off, and he kept going from the front door to the back door, looking for a way in. An officer arrested him on a warrant.
4:08 a.m. A man in a red hoodie outside the donut shop screamed for police, demanding that police take him to jail to get him off his sore feet because it was cold.
5:03 p.m. More peculiar drama on lower H Street as a woman was reported "comatose." Medical personnel escorted her from the property.
5:20 p.m. The lord of the lower H Street manor called APD, complaining that "aggressive police officers were making things worse" by "telling everyone to sit down and shut up." The caller asked the dispatcher to "call off the dogs."
5:25 p.m. The H Streeter called 911 again, asking the dispatcher to advise officers on scene that his sister was in the ambulance.
6:45 p.m. A drill set, subwoofer and amp vanished from an unlocked car on Maple Lane.
• Monday, October 8 10:10 a.m. A brush fire at Foster Avenue and Q Street led authorities to a series of traveler encampments, only one occupied. Trash scattered about the area appeared to be the remnants of a drugmaking operation. The lone soul found amid the debris and desolation was given names of service providers and night shelter info.
1:07 p.m. A long-haired man was reported "flinging meth" on the Plaza. Police made a narcotics arrest.
3:12 p.m. A 19th Street resident complained that her landlord was going to place a "For Sale" sign on her front lawn. She read on the Internet that police are required to help her, but was told that it was a civil matter.
7:07 p.m. A Janes Road mobile home park resident reported that neighbors had been finding large piles of feces in their yards for the past several nights. The previous night at 2 a.m., another tenant heard noises outside and observed a large "creature" standing upright. The resident went to get a firearm, and saw the creature striding away down the street, still upright.

Electrosonic Offers Preview of 21st Century Technologies at the Information & Communications Pavilion at Expo 2010 Shanghai China
Visitors flocking to the Information & Communications Pavilion at Expo 2010 Shanghai China get a taste of cutting-edge information and communication technologies (ICT) to come when they tour the attraction presented by China Mobile and China Telecom. Contracted by long-time client, BRC Imagination Arts, Electrosonic designed and installed the audio, video and control systems featuring multiple, large-scale projection systems; High Definition displays, customized show control and multi-channel audio playback systems. Renowned for its award-winning approach to emotional design and production BRC was the creator and producer for the world's first Multi-Dimensional Interactive Network pavilion. Allowing visitors to move through a high capacity attraction and personally engage one-on-one with the shows and exhibits, bringing mass customization to visitor's experience.
As soon as visitors enter the pavilion they pick up their ICT Mobile Device, a futuristic, handheld, personal communications device that accompanies them on their interactive journey through the attraction. Electrosonic provided the 802.11 wireless network for the ICT Mobile Device which enables visitors to interact with the pavilion's show/exhibition elements, displaying video and a host of other interactive capabilities. The ICT Mobile Devices were designed by BRC Imagination Arts and provided by Linkon; a Chinese technology company.
"We're always doing new custom applications that are very challenging," says Electrosonic senior project manager Thursby Pierce. "Our Medialon show-control master controller sends cues via the wireless network to allow the ICT-equipped visitors to follow in sync with all the shows. Show control knows where each visitor and their ICT Mobile Device are at any given time and, based on the show in that part of the pavilion, plays synchronous content that relates to that particular experience."
Earlier, visitors waiting outside in the Dream Garden were treated to a preview of the pavilion displayed on 13 Sunbrite weather-resistant 42-inch LCD monitors with audio support from a complement of JBL speakers.
Once they enter the Information & Communications Pavilion's Welcome Lobby they are issued their ICT Mobile Device, log onto the network, create their own personal Dream Profile via the touch-screen on their device and watch welcome videos on four 42-inch clustered Panasonic LCD monitors facing out in all directions.
Then they proceed to the "Progress Begins as a Dream" pre-show interactive experience where five Christie DSP+6K-M projectors display edge-blended animated content documenting the history of communications in China on a 68-foot curved screen while changing colored lights coordinate with the animation in the interactive space. Electrosonic also provided the full multitrack surround system.
Visitors settle into the "Dream Big" Multi-Dimensional Interactive Network Theater for the main show on an IMAX-style Stewart Film Screen, measuring 71x38 feet with a slight curve, and on 32 panels that form an immersive media canopy arcing over the audience. Four Christie HD10K-M projectors deliver the edge-blended imagery in horizontal and vertical quadrants to the big screen. Four additional projectors display supporting images in multiple window-type frames on the canopy; they also warp and morph some content onto the big screen.
Electrosonic supplied the multitrack surround system for the "Dream Big" Theater experience and furnished tactile transducers that enable audience members to feel the low-frequency sounds through their seats.
After the main show visitors can play the "Dream Lantern Collection Game" using their ICT Mobile Device to interact with the post show exhibitions using RFID technologies. Visitors can collect dreams, win prizes and learn more about future information and communication technologies (ICT). They can also watch a series of post-show videos highlighting the future of ICT on a pair of 65-inch Panasonic plasma screens and on four 42-inch Panasonic plasmas screens located around the "One Connected World" exhibition hall.
Visitors return their ICT Mobile Device as they exit the pavilion. When they're back home visitors can retrieve their collected dreams, virtual prizes and connect with other dreamers by logging onto the Information and Communications Pavilions social network website customized by the choices the visitors made during their experience at the pavilion.
Multiple control rooms, featuring Extron JMP9600 and MMP9500 video playback servers, are located throughout the facility; the majority of show systems are concentrated in the primary Show Equipment Room. Electrosonic also equipped a pair of carts with high-resolution document cameras which are rolled out for future information and communication technology product demonstrations. Electrosonic associate project manager Matt Sweeney and audio engineer and tech lead Phil Shaw remain onsite to supervise the Chinese crew; Electrosonic is contracted to perform the strike for the pavilion at the conclusion of the Expo.
Electrosonic Design Consulting provided guidance to the exhibit designers on AV equipment selections, projection geometry, facility impact, and budgeting. The team starts by responding to the creative drawings provided by the designers and identifying equipment that meets the creative intent. A number of projection studies were produced for the venue that demonstrated proof of concept and allowed them to verify the equipment selections. Electrosonic Design Consulting also create facility impact drawings, which provide cable, electrical power and heating/cooling requirements to the project's engineers so they can design the infrastructure that allows all of the AV equipment to operate properly. The decisions from these initial consultations set the groundwork for how the overall systems would operate. Each project was turned over to the Electrosonic Engineering Department for further refinement, fabrication and installation.
From the celebrated Expo67 in Montreal to the last major Expo in 2005 in Aichi, Japan, Electrosonic has an extensive credit roster of international expos stretching from Brisbane and Osaka to New Orleans and Lisbon. Electrosonic's participation in Expo 2010 Shanghai now pushes the number of projects the company has completed for these fairs to over 50.
Electrosonic's Steve Calver and Thursby Pierce served as project mangers for the pavilion with Dan Laspa onsite project manager, Dennis Rambo site supervisor and Nir Elnekave projectionist. Nancy Liu was regional sales director and Benjamin Lein account executive.

Tutorial: The Lilli Ann Collar Inset
First, I had to decide how to sew the contrast on. There seemed to be two options: seam it into the collar or apply it on top. I chose the second option because my fashion fabric (a boiled wool with black lace fused on top) is much firmer than the black wool crepe contrast fabric. The crepe would not have been compatible being seamed together with the boiled wool. But! When applied on top of the fashion fabric, the crepe was much happier since it had support underneath.
I started by chalking in the line of the trim on the collar facing. It helped me to first draw in my 5/8" seam line so I could picture the actual finished width of the trim. I made my inset about 2" wide at the back and shoulders, tapering to nothing at center front.
Next, I cut a really wide bias strip of crepe that was long enough to go around one facing edge, plus about 6" or so. (We'll do this whole thing on the other facing as well, and then the two get seamed together at center back.) I made my strip 6" wide (which is honestly a bit wider than I actually needed), to give it room to stretch around the collar curve.
On your machine, stitch a line of basting 1/4" from one long edge on the bias strip.
With right sides together, match up that line of basting with your chalk line below, pinning exactly on the line. Leave yourself several inches at the top, as the strip will narrow as it goes around the curves.
Now, stitch just to the left of your basting stitches, using a regular stitch length.
Now, the bias strip will get flipped to the right side, like so.
Baste the two layers together inside the seam allowance, by hand. Keep everything as flat as possible.
Once the whole thing is basted, flip the entire piece over and trim away any excess contrast fabric.
Here's a peek at the effect, with seam allowances still in tact.
What do you think? I hope this was helpful!

Drop dead gorgeous! I am jealous of all your fabulous coats.. :)ReplyDelete
Wow, that is beautiful!!ReplyDelete
It's looking great!ReplyDelete
Can you shed some light on why you decided to go with a bias strip rather than making a pattern piece the (finished) shape of the trim and using that? (Because that's what I would have done)Replies
Great question! I did try both ways. The pattern piece way is complicated because you have to sew a concave curve to a convex one (kind of like a princess seam, but much more extreme!). That way would be great if you wanted top stitching. In that case you could turn under the seam allowance, press it, and then edgestitch the whole thing onto the collar.Delete
With the bias strip, the sewing is easier, there's no stitching showing, and the bias curves nicely around the collar.
It is absolutely gorgeous.Delete
Thank you for the well documented instructions, and for this additional note as to your approach.
lovely. Will you top stitch the contrast or will it require any special pad stitching? It is looking gorgeous. I am feeling some serious coat envy. (But I already have 10+ vintage coats so I am not allowed to buy or make any more. hahah) k.ReplyDelete
C'est magnifique ! I'll never be able sew something like that ! Thanks for all the things you explain here ! I'll try something easy in the near future !ReplyDelete
Have a great day !
It looks gorgeous!! And many thanks for the tutorial!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 18, 2012 at 2:32 PM
Gertie, this is absolutely stunning! Wow. Wow. Wow. It gives the coat such a classy look and the wide collar now really takes the stage *and* the balance with the wide "skirt" below is much better now.
Brilliant idea to make it work!
Such a great application and tutorial!ReplyDelete
You know, I thought I wouldn't like the trim after your poll, but this is just lovely! Wow!ReplyDelete
Love, love, love, love, love, LOVE this!!!! Thanks for sharing, I think I might have to try something like this. I would not have thought of using the bias strip. That does seem like it would be easier to deal with and lay more flat. Again, GORgeous!!!!!ReplyDelete
Hi, I love your idea. Um, this is just my opinion but I wonder if it wouldn't be more flattering having the black trim a little more narrower down the front than it is. I hope that made sense. I'm trying hard not sound critical, because I really love your work, and your blog.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi, I totally agree! I thought I had tapered the shape more so it was narrower. I went back today after I read your comment to check it and all is well. It looks wide in the picture because of the way the facings are haphazardly tucked into the coat temporarily. I think you'll prefer it when it's actually finished. Thank you for the comment!Delete
That is going to be stunningly beautiful.ReplyDelete
OMG I LOVE this! Love the fashion fabric you've chosen for this. Can't wait to see the finished product!ReplyDelete
In a word- Stunning. really really lovely :)ReplyDelete
Hi, I'm the crazy lady who stopped you on 6th ave yesterday. It was nice to meet you!ReplyDelete
I was in favor of the all black collar. But now see I was wrong! This is just beautiful and what a smart way to approach the application of the contrast collar.
That is quite lovely! It definitely helps to break up all that lace a bit.ReplyDelete
Positively gorgeous! Thanks for the tutorial.ReplyDelete
This coat just gets more breathtaking with every shot!ReplyDelete
Love it! and love the tutorial! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Absolutely beautiful....I only wish I had a small percent of your talent :)ReplyDelete
This is perfect! Definitely my favourite colour option, and so kind of you to make a mini tutorial on it. This coat is going to be so gorgeous :)ReplyDelete
Sweet! Looks Great~sets your material off beautifully!ReplyDelete
Beautiful with a capital "B." A couture finish for a beautiful piece. I love contrast trims, they elevates the style but also show the design lines clearly.ReplyDelete
I think the black trim just took the whole coat many notches up!ReplyDelete
Wow! Love it! It"s so nice to see such an appreciation for the art of sewing. Thanks Gertie, for all your great info!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you went for the trim - It breaks up the busy lace so perfectly!ReplyDelete
The coat is turning out to be quite a stunner!
That black trim is the perfect detail, this coat is going to be sublime!!!ReplyDelete
I love your coat!ReplyDelete
- krista thompsonOctober 19, 2012 at 7:39 AM
Oh Thank You Gertie for showing this trim. It's beautiful and I can't wait to get to mine. I really appreciate you showing the steps. I am learning so much.ReplyDelete
Gertie - question. Why did you stay stitch the bias before applying it? I'm wondering what the benefits were - any time I've applied bias bindings like this, I haven't used stay stitches in order to give the binding maximum flexibility. In fact, I often steam the bias into a curve first, to give it 'memory'. Just curious :)ReplyDelete
It looks even better than I thought it would! Can't wait to see the coat all finished!!ReplyDelete
Gertie, your fabric for this coat is spectacular! What a statement drop-dead gorgeous coat this will be.ReplyDelete
Wow, I am in love with your coat. Thank for the instructions. By the way your patterns in your book are with out words fantastic. I am on my second garment from your book.:)ReplyDelete
I even love the white stitches!ReplyDelete
Wow! I'm loving this.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 19, 2012 at 5:42 PM
absolutely gorgeous! You are just so awesome!ReplyDelete
I really think you ought to consider putting a thin line of WHITE along the collar as well, right where you have the basting line! Maybe soutache braid? I agree: the black trim is the best choice for those lapels, but I think a teeny-tiny touch of white would be the "cherry on the sundae" (I was also thinking that matching CUFFS on the sleeves would be nice too! Maybe detachable cuffs?)ReplyDelete
That coat is going to be gorgeous!ReplyDelete
How fabulous! May I ask you something about the sleeves? In your last picture they seem to be arching backwards instead of forwards (following the shape of an arm). Is this because you have pushed them out of the way to show off that beautiful collar? (Just wondering; I've taken pictures of some of my sewn garments and realized I put the sleeves in the wrong way around, doh!)ReplyDelete
Forgive me my previous comment, I have only just now seen the pattern you are using, so never mind!ReplyDelete
Very beautiful.ReplyDelete
I made this dress last weekend too. Using a quick lecture from a friend.

I've curated three seasons of 'The Wright Stuff' at LA's fabulous New Beverly Cinema since 2007, showing both my favourite films and, occasionally, classics I've never seen.
Now, to get you in the mood for the North American release of 'The World's End' on Aug 23rd, I have put together these stepping stones to our new movie. The films are all great and all wildly diverse, but you will see some of the seeds of their influence in our new movie.
Starting this Friday, here's my 'The World's End Is Nigh' season. I won't be able to be present at all of these movies, but I can vouch that all of these doubles will be solid gold. Enjoy!
"One Crazy Night"
1985, USA, 97 min.
Directed by Martin Scorsese
Written by Joseph Minion
Starring Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Teri Garr, John Heard,
Catherine O'Hara, Linda Fiorentino, Verna Bloom, Tommy Chong,
Cheech Marin, Will Patton, Dick Miller
Fri: 7:30 pm; Sat: 3:00 & 7:30 pm
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm especially fond of the all-in-one-night movie and here are two cult classics of the sub genre that were both released in 1985. Scorcese's 'After Hours' is better known than John Landis' excellent 'Into The Night' but they both feature classic quirky leads in Griffin Dunne and Jeff Goldblum, along with incredible supporting casts. A dream double bill.
"Rock & Roll All Nite"
Sun-Mon, Aug 11-12: Book Soon!
1973, USA, 112 min.
Directed by George Lucas
Written by George Lucas and Gloria Katz & Willard Huyck
Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat,
Charles Martin Smith, Cindy Williams, Candy Clark,
Mackenzie Phillips, Wolfman Jack, Bo Hopkins,
Harrison Ford, Suzanne Somers
Sun: 2:50 & 7:30 pm; Mon: 7:30 pm
1993, USA, 102 min.
Written and directed by Richard Linklater
Starring Jason London, Rory Cochrane,
Wiley Wiggins, Adam Goldberg,
Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey,
Milla Jovovich, Ben Affleck
Sun: 5:10 & 9:50 pm; Mon: 9:50 pm
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Two more all nighters in the form of George Lucas nostalgic look at '62 and Linklater's buzzy 70's time capsule. The 1990 opening of 'The World's End' was designed as a potted version of such rites of passage movies, so I can't think of a better youthful double bill.
"We Are The Robots"
Tue-Wed, Aug 13-14: Book Soon!
1973, USA, 88 min.
Written and directed by Michael Crichton
Starring Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, James Brolin,
Norman Bartold, Alan Oppenheimer, Victoria Shaw,
Dick Van Patten, Steve Franken
7:30 pm
1984, USA/UK, 107 min.
Directed by James Cameron
Written by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd
Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn,
Linda Hamilton, Paul Winfield, Lance Henriksen
9:25 pm
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Two terrifying robotic performances in the unstoppable forms of Yul Brynner and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Michael Crichton's future nightmare still feels extremely plausible and James Cameron's breakthrough remains one of his very best films. I showed clips of both of these movies to the young actors playing the villains of our movie and they responded with terrifying dead eyed zeal.
"They're Here Already!"
Thu-Fri, Aug 15-16: Book Soon!
1978, USA, 115 min.
Directed by Philip Kaufman
Screenplay by W.D. Richter; based on Jack Finney's novel
Starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Jeff Goldblum,
Veronica Cartwright, Leonard Nimoy, Art Hindle,
Lelia Goldoni, Kevin McCarthy
7:30 pm
1981, USA, 94 min.
Directed by Gary Sherman
Screenplay by Ronald Shusett & Dan O'Bannon
Story by Jeff Millar & Alex Stern
Starring James Farentino, Melody Anderson,
Jack Albertson, Dennis Redfield, Nancy Locke, Robert Englund
9:50 pm
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The most paranoid double bill you'll see this year. Philip Kaufman's 1978 San Francisco masterpiece is one of the best remakes of them all and has been a massive influence on both 'Shaun' & 'World's End'. Gary Sherman's nightmarish horror has, in New England fishing town Potter's Bluff, a locale that is a creepy cousin to our Newtown Haven. Be prepared to never trust anyone ever again.
"Friends Reunited"
1955, USA, 101 min.
Directed by Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly
Story and screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green
Starring Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey, Cyd Charisse, Dolores Gray,
Michael Kidd, David Burns, Jay C. Flippen
3:00 & 7:30 pm
1983, USA, 105 min.
Directed by Lawrence Kasdan
Written by Lawrence Kasdan & Barbara Benedek
Starring Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum,
William Hurt, Kevin Kline, Mary Kay Place, Meg Tilly,
JoBeth Williams
5:00 & 9:35 pm
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
These two films are the only features we watched prior to writing the first draft of 'The World's End'. One is the startlingly bittersweet Gene Kelly musical reuniting war time buddies in a New York bar ten years after WWII. The latter is the baby boomer classic by Lawrence Kasdan which brings old friends together after a friend's suicide. Simon Pegg and I would joke that our new film would be like 'The Big Chill' if the dead pal was present at his own wake. Both are great, funny and sometimes dark movies.
"Happy End Of The World"
Sun-Tue, Aug 18-20: Book Soon!
1998, Canada/France, 95 min.
Written and directed by Don McKellar
Starring Don McKellar, Sandra Oh, Roberta Maxwell,
Robin Gammell, Sarah Polley, David Cronenberg
Sun: 3:10 & 7:30 pm; Mon & Tue: 7:30 pm
1981, Australia, 95 min.
Directed by George Miller
Screenplay by Terry Hayes & George Miller & Brian Hannant
Starring Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Michael Preston,
Max Phipps, Vernon Wells, Emil Minty, Virginia Hey
Sun: 5:10 & 9:30 pm; Mon & Tue: 9:30 pm
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Two brilliant future shocks; one pre and one post apocalypse. Don McKellar's quiet masterpiece is a criminally under-seen film about the last night on Earth. It's been ripped off a whole lot, including by me. George Miller's incredible second Mad Max instalment is rightly one of the most sci fi genre's most influential design classics. A must see double.
"Thrills, Pills & Bellyaches"
Wed-Thu, Aug 21-22: Book Soon!
1987, UK, 107 min.
Written and directed by Bruce Robinson
Starring Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths,
Ralph Brown. Michael Elphick
7:30 pm
2002, UK, 117 min.
Directed by Michael Winterbottom
Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce
Starring Steve Coogan, John Thomas, Paul Popplewell,
Lennie James, Shirley Henderson, Paddy Considine, Andy Serkis
9:45 pm
To end the season a double whammy of British hedonism. Richard E Grant gives the finest drunk performance in all cinema (and from a tee totaller too) and Michael Winterbottom's Madchester opus chronicles the coke and ecstasy laden saga of Factory Records. The former influenced our film in it's whirlwind of a lead, so much so that some have called our new movie 'Withnail And I-Robot'. And the music the latter is frequently at the heart of 'The World's End'.
See one, see them all. Cheers!

model structure on simplicial T-algebras / homotopy T-algebra
higher geometry Isbell duality higher algebra
The notion of higher algebra or homotopical algebra refers to generalizations of algebra in the context of homotopy theory and more general of higher category theory.
Ordinary algebra concerns itself in particular with structures such as associative algebras, which are monoids internal to monoidal categories:
a monoid internal to Set is just an ordinary monoid;
a monoid internal to Ab, the category of abelian groups, is a ring;
a monoid internal to Vect is an ordinary algebra: a vector space equipped with a linear binary associative product with unit;
a monoid in a category of chain complexes is a differential graded algebra;
Of course, there are other aspects to algebra such as those resulting from non-associative theories such as Lie algebras and there are many aspects such as questions within Galois theory, and representation theory for which the above is too limited a view, but for the moment let it stand.
Higher algebra (or homotopical algebra) is similarly, but in particular, the study of monoids internal to higher categories.
A central motivating example for - or special case of the study of higher algebra was
The "higher algebra" embodied by commutative ring spectra has been called brave new algebra by F. Waldhausen.
More generally, algebra is partially about algebraic theories, about monads and about operads. All these have higher analogs in higher algebra.
The parts of algebra that we set aside at the end of the idea are not outside the possible range of higher algebra, they just have not yet been that developed and it is not always clear in what directions they most naturally 'should' be developed. To take an example, Lie infinity-algebroid is clearly a higher algebraic analogue of a Lie algebra, and is a 'multi-object' one as well. Questions in representation theory are often phrased in terms of monoidal categories, and their higher algebraic analogues have new structural facets that look very interesting and useful. Finally Galois theory naturally falls into the context of Grothendieck's extensive work both on higher stacks but also the Grothendieck-Teichmuller theory. Here the theory is awaiting clear indications what higher Galois theory might mean.

Network: ABC
Episodes: 16 (hour)
Seasons: Two
TV show dates: July 10, 2012 — August 14, 2014
Series status: Cancelled
Performers include: (none)
TV show description:
This docu-series follows the doctors, nurses, patients, and their friends/family members at three New York hospitals.
What do grandmothers, addicts and celebrities have in common? All of them seek care at Columbia and Weill Cornell Medical Centers the crown jewels of the prestigious New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. For a full year ABC cameras had unprecedented access to document the mayhem and the miracles that occur daily in these world class facilities. Adding a Brooklyn dimension, Lutheran Medical Center also participated.
The TV series provides a raw and intimate look at life inside these hospitals where doctors spend far more time with each other than with their families, developing complicated and intertwined personal relationships.
Episode 16 — Doctors on the Frontline
Robert Campagna is a vibrant architect, husband and father. But he is finding himself out of breath lately so he gets an appointment with a top lung surgeon, Nasser Altorki of New York Presbyterian. Campagna fears the worst because both his brothers died from lung cancer. What ensues is a family love story and a portrait of a marriage and the bonds that emerge in times of stress. And this case forcefully proves the old adage "always go to the best" as Dr. Altorki makes the right decision every time and delivers an ending that is as thrilling as it is unexpected.
Removing a ring that is stuck on a patient's finger shouldn't be major surgery. But at Mount Sinai's Roosevelt Hospital, ER resident Amy Caggiula is worried that her power drill could slip leaving the young woman in worse shape than she came in.
Meanwhile, Raisa Durrani, a first year surgical resident at New York Presbyterian, lands in hot water with an attending physician who is angry that their patient was given juice to drink although he was supposed to be on a diet of no food or liquids.
As the chief trauma surgeon at Newark's University Hospital, David Livingston is a commanding presence who often mixes encouragement with sarcasm in the service of educating his staffers. But underneath his rough exterior, nobody is prouder of his unit, his city and the mission of delivering urgent care to those who need it most. When a young baseball player comes in with a serious injury to his arm following a drunken brawl, Livingston knows that his patient will be on the bench a lot longer than he realizes. (Courtesy ABC.)

For Thanksgiving of 1998 Dave came back to Narragansett from Houston, where he was working to help finance the remodeling. In addition to some quality time together, he got to help out with some construction. This was our second episode of having a "commuter marriage" (the first was when Seely was in grad school).
Our biggest task was to move 20 sheets of wall board from the front porch to the third floor. It was a tricky job, as 8-foot long rectangles aren't the easiest thing to maneuver up two flights of steps and around corners in the hall.
About the time we got to the sixth board we stopped on the second floor landing to take a break. Glancing out the front window, Seely noticed police cars in the road. A few officers were going around toward the back of the house. Two others were headed up the front walk. All had their weapons drawn.
It turns out that one of the tenants we inherited from the previous management had been knocking over ATM machines and Narragansett's finest wanted to relocate him to a new place of residence. We should have suspected something was up when he gave us two weeks rent in advance. (Demonstrating a keen sense of priorities, Seely's first question was whether we got to keep the advance rent he'd paid us.) We never saw him again, though the police did let us know after they picked him up. He would get his lodging from the state for the next 2-7 years.
We attract a much better quality of guest these days.

text: It\u2019s never a good sign when a website markets itself with a phony security award. But that\u2019s what Ashley Madison did prior to last year\u2019s massive data breach.On Monday, privacy officials in Canada and Australia found that the Canadian adultery website used deceptive and confusing practices to make customers think the service was secure.Privacy authorities from both countries have been investigating Ashley Madison following last year\u2019s hack, which exposed personal data on 36 million users, including names, credit card numbers, and in some cases, their sexual fantasies.\u00a0Although Ashley Madison had been promoting discreet extramarital affairs, the site itself used security practices that fell short of accepted standards and privacy laws, the investigation found.One problem was the use of a medal icon on the website labeled \u201ctrusted security award.\u201d The company behind Ashley Madison later admitted that the award was fake and removed it, the privacy officials said.The officials also took issue with the way Ashley Madison retained user data. The website stored all profile information indefinitely unless users paid for a full deletion -- even if the account had been deactivated. None of this was clearly stated in Ashley Madison\u2019s privacy policy.Under Canadian and Australian privacy laws, no website should be able to keep user information indefinitely when the account has been deactivated, the investigators said.On Tuesday, Ashley Madison\u2019s owner, Ruby, agreed to make changes recommended by the investigation. They include providing a no-cost option to delete a users profile. Previously, the company charged 19 Canadian dollars (about US$15).If the company doesn't comply with the recommendations, Canadian and Australian authorities said they can force their countries' courts to intervene.\u00a0Ruby, formerly known as Avid Life Media, is also undergoing a third-party review to examine its privacy protections and plans to introduce other security measures. Despite last year's breach, the company claims Ashley Madison has 47 million users.\u00a0But even as privacy officials in Canada and Australia have concluded their own probe of the company, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission is also reportedly investigating the Ashley Madison site.

Microbiotix, Inc. Signs Licensing Deal With Merck & Co., Inc. to Develop Antiviral Candidates
As part of this agreement, Microbiotix gains worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize MBX-700 and MBX-701 (formerly SCH 900942 and SCH 900188), two non-nucleoside inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus NS5B polymerase. MBX-700 is in Phase I clinical testing and MBX-701 is currently in preclinical development. Merck is eligible for milestone payments during development stages of the candidates, and for royalty payments from any resulting products. Specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
MBX-700 and MBX-701 are designed to inhibit the replication of the hepatitis C virus by acting on the NS5B polymerase, a clinically validated target that is essential for viral genome replication. In vitro studies have shown MBX-700 to be among the most potent HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitors.
"This agreement with Merck significantly strengthens our antiviral portfolio," said Terry L. Bowlin, PhD, President & CEO, Microbiotix. "We believe MBX-700 and MBX-701 have great potential as potent ingredients in future combination drug therapy. Our preclinical studies have demonstrated high potency while the Phase I clinical study has shown MBX-700 to be safe and well-tolerated."
"Merck remains committed to the development of therapies for the treatment of hepatitis C," said Eliav Barr, vice president, Infectious Diseases Project Leadership and Management, Merck Research Laboratories. "Our discovery programs have identified a number of well-characterized candidates targeting hepatitis C. Outlicensing deals, such as this one, allow Merck to harness potential value from these assets while ensuring they are developed to their full potential."
About Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C, which primarily affects the liver, is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV infection becomes chronic in 75%-85% of cases and, if left untreated, can lead to chronic liver disease, liver cancer or death. It is estimated that 170 million people worldwide are chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus.
About Microbiotix, Inc.
Microbiotix, Inc., located in Worcester, MA, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of proprietary small molecule drugs that target serious infectious diseases. The Company's lead therapeutic compound, MBX-700, is a non-nucleoside inhibitor of the HCV NS5B polymerase. In vitro studies have shown MBX-700 to be among the most potent HCV polymerase inhibitors. MBX-700 is in Phase I clinical testing. MBX-701, a non-nucleoside inhibitor also targeting the HCV NS5B polymerase, is in preclinical development. The Company's second clinical compound, MBX-400, a novel agent for the treatment of human cytomegalovirus, is also in Phase I clinical testing.

Chris Muskopf and the newly planted Tulip Trees at St. Peter's Square
Friday late afternoon I took a stroll along the Harbor Walk to have a look at the newly planted gardens. I heard a friendly hello from behind and there was Chris Muscopf, primary architect and project manager for the Harbor Walk, stopping by to check on the gardens, too. Chris was later meeting JD MacEachern and they were on their way to a running race at Good Harbor Beach.
Chris Muskopf and JD MacEachern
Chris lives in Jamaica Plain with his wife and young daughter Beatrix and rides his bike, or runs, to his job at Cambridge Seven Associates nearly everyday, rain or shine. I've gotten to know Chris a little bit over the past year and he is an all around great guy, with a wonderful sense of humor. Chris is working tirelessly, and always with much enthusiasm, to make the Harbor Walk a success. Stop in and see the work in progress. I think you'll agree, the Harbor Walk is coming along beautifully!

Woodlyn Park began as a humble working farm but has now blossomed into a resort complete with four unique -and when we say unique, we mean unique – types of lodging, a restaurant and bar and a stage arena. The resort is only 700 meters from the area's Waitomo Caves Village and just 2 minutes from the famous glow worm caves. In addition to the fact that most of the accommodations have been recycled, the hobbit hotel was built with an insulating material that gives it added warmth in the winter and keeps it cool during the summer.

What is Cold Cast Bronze?
Cold Cast Bronze is a technique used for making sculptures. It involves blending bronze powders with a specially formulated resin to produce a material which is applied to the interior of a silicone mould.
The mould is then filled with the blend of resin and bronze powder and the sculpture is left to set.
The finished item has the same appealing look of a bronze sculpture with a cool feel and a heaviness about it.
Cold cast bronze sculptures are pieces of art produced for a fraction of the cost of solid bronze but carrying the same incredible detail and design.
Caring For Your Bronze Sculpture
From bronze horse sculptures to elephants, hares to dogs all are cared in exactly the same way.

Ray Lewis out for season with torn triceps
The news on Ray Lewis's arm injury is every bit as bad as feared.
The Ravens have confirmed what Jay Glazer of FOX Sports first reported: An MRI on Lewis showed a complete tear of the triceps, meaning Lewis is done for the year.
For the Ravens, that's a major blow: Although Lewis may not be playing at quite the same level as he was when he was the best defensive player in football a decade ago, he's still a good linebacker and the team's unquestioned leader. That's a hard player to replace.
For Lewis, the question now is whether he'll ever play football again. There was some talk that this could be Lewis's final season even before he suffered this injury, and a torn triceps is a tough injury to recover from. This is surely not the way Lewis wants his career to end, but it is possible that one of the greatest players in NFL history played his final game on Sunday against the Cowboys.

Rodents (from Latin rodere, 'to chew') are a very successful group of paleocity. They form the order Rodentia.
Temporal range: early Palaeocene – Recent
61.7 mya to present
|a squirrel
|Scientific classification
Bowdich, 1821
They have no more than 2 incisors. These keep growing, and must be kept worn down by gnawing (eroding teeth by grinding them on something hard); this is the origin of the name, from the Latin rodere, "to gnaw", and dent, "tooth".
Most rodents are small. Examples of commonly known rodents are mice, rats, chipmunks, and squirrels. Some other small rodents sometimes kept as pets are Guinea pigs, hamsters, and gerbils. Examples of larger rodents are porcupines, beavers, and the largest living rodent, the capybara, which can grow to between 105 and 135 cm (40-55 in) in length, and weigh 35 to 65 kg (75-140 lbs).
Almost half of all mammal species are rodents. More examples of rodents are voles, prairie dogs, groundhogs, and chinchillas.
Rabbits, hares, and pikas are sometimes called rodents, because they also have teeth that keep growing. But in 1912 biologists decided to put them in a new, separate order, Lagomorpha, because they have two extra incisors in their upper jaw.
Shrews are sometimes called rodents, because they look like mice, but that is not correct. They are in the order Insectivora.
Taxonomy Edit
There are more families than these. The list includes the more common families.
- Order Rodentia
- Suborder Anumaluromorpha
- Family Anomaluridae
- Family Pedetidae
- Suborder Castorimorpha
- Family Castoridae (Beavers)
- Family Geomyoidea (Pocket gophers, Kangaroo rats and mice)

- Family Myocastoridae
- Family Caviidae
- Family Chinchillidae
- Family Cuniculidae
- Suborder Sciuromorpha
- Family Aplodontiidae: mountain beaver
- Family Gliridae (also Myoxidae, Muscardinidae): dormice
- Family Sciuridae: squirrels, including chipmunks, prairie dogs, & marmots

Thank you for mentioning etsy in your blog. I am one of the craftspeople on etsy and really appreciate the opportunity to sell my items on such an artistic-minded website.
Positively one of my favorite places to shop online when I need a present is www.etsy.com. And I have to say, most of the time when I go to buy a present from this site, I have no idea beforehand what I'm actually going to buy. I just browse endlessly by random criteria. My favorite is by color. I want to see something blue and voila! Everything from buttons to yarn to pillows and barrettes in blue.
Etsy only lets vendors who are selling handmade items post their wares on Etsy. They are pretty strict about this. If a vendor even tries to post something not created , other shoppers and artisans will flag it immediately. When they say handmade they mean it---but there's such a broad interpretation of that. The t-shirts a friend of mine silk screens are on there, my old zines are on there, and restrung jewelry made with vintage beads are there too.
If you want to set up shop, etsy boasts some of the lowest cost fees around and the percentage cut is tiny. It doesn't have the traffic of eBay yet, but it doesn't have the high cost either and stuff can sit in your store for three months straight from one posting. A girlfriend of mine who dyes her own yarn has sold about $500 worth so far with not that much effort put into it. You can go in with a few artists in your area and have one store between you.
On the flip side, since artisans and artists make up this site and ususally can't help themselves when they see something fun, clever or beautiful, you can bet that other artists and artisans are looking around their fellow etsy sites. You can totally work out trades of merchandise and can post on your site that you are up for such things (there I go again with the trading). I traded a few books for some earrings.

Thank you for mentioning etsy in your blog. I am one of the craftspeople on etsy and really appreciate the opportunity to sell my items on such an artistic-minded website.
I adore Etsy. I started out as a buyer several years ago. I love that everything is unique and that the money goes directly to the creator of the object. It made me feel good about buying presents again. Then I decided to start selling my stuff and I'm having a lot of fun designing and creating.
I think the potential for profit depends on what you are selling however. I sell baby accessories like diaper bags and baby blankets; I'm certainly not the only one either. I have to market my shop considerably. It's not without efforet, but it is enjoyable.
I had never heard of this website before and so i went and had a look for myself as i liked the idea that the goods were not the usual run of the mill mass produced items.
I really liked it and think that i will put it on my favourite list. Thanks for letting us know about it.
I appreciate you blogging about etsy. I like to make my gifts but sometimes have trouble finding unique material. Thanks to you I found Leslie's Store and the buttons and yarns that were perfect.

I've been selling on Etsy for only a few months but since then I've had several sales and the other artists are very nice and helpful. Its also very creative and inspiring to me and I too enjoy the fact that items I'm purchasing is going directly to the artist. I sell a little bit of everything from polymer clay items, baby blankets, decorations, hand painted items.

Benz History: Karl F. Benz started building trucks in 1895 and patented the first internal combustion engine in 1896. However gasoline was difficult to find so acceptance was slow and his vehicles did not sell very well.
In 1903 Benz retired and made his son Richard chief designer. The 1904 Benz did well but after two years Benz returned to start a new company with his other son, Eugen. Karl Benz retired again in 1912 and left everything to his sons.Daimler Motors was Benz' chief competition and they merged in 1924. At first they just shared parts but then became the Daimler-Benz Company two years later.
Daimler had introduced the Mercedes in 1900 and after the merger they agreed to sell all their vehicles under the Mercedes-Benz label.
