Guild Wars: Eye of the North Goes Live, Expanding Guild Wars World
NCsoft releases the first expansion to award-winning, subscription-free Guild Wars franchise, builds bridge to Guild Wars 2
Bellevue, WA. Aug. 31, 2007—NCsoft® and ArenaNet® have launched Guild Wars: Eye of the NorthTM, the first expansion to the Guild Wars® franchise of subscription-free, online roleplaying games. Guild Wars players who purchase the expansion can access Eye of the North content through any of the multi-million-selling Guild Wars campaigns–Guild Wars, Guild Wars FactionsTM, or Guild Wars NightfallTM. The expansion also includes an innovative feature that allows players to take achievements they have earned over the years with them into the forthcoming Guild Wars 2TM.
Guild Wars: Eye of the North, continues the subscription-free business model pioneered by ArenaNet. The expansion is now available at the Official Guild Wars In-game Store and at Plaync.com, as well as from retailers in North America and Europe, for an expected suggested retail price of $39.99.
Eye of the North advances the story told in the original Guild Wars campaign, and is set in unexplored areas of the continent of Tyria. One of the highlights of the expansion is the Hall of Monuments, which allows players to preserve armor sets, pets, Heroes, and titles earned while playing Guild Wars, Factions, Nightfall, and Eye of the North, and take those accomplishments with them into Guild Wars 2.
The expansion also contains a host of new features that will appeal directly to veteran Guild Wars players, including 18 multi-level dungeons, 150 new skills across all 10 Guild Wars professions, 10 new Heroes to aid them in their adventures, 40 new armor sets, and more items, weapons, and titles.
"We think fans will find a lot to love in Guild Wars: Eye of the North," said Mike O'Brien, co-founder of ArenaNet. "Not only do we go back to the original Guild Wars lands and stories to wrap up plots and themes fans have clamored to learn more about, but we've also built a bridge to the future through the Hall of Monuments. This will give loyal players a way to preserve what they've accomplished in Guild Wars over the past two years, and reclaim the legacy of their favorite characters in Guild Wars 2."
The Guild Wars franchise recently surpassed four million units sold and is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed online roleplaying game series of all time. Guild Wars 2 is expected to go into public beta in the second half of 2008.

Splash is a 1984 American fantasy romantic comedy film directed by Ron Howard, written by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, and starring Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Dody Goodman. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The original music score was composed by Lee Holdridge. It was the first film released by Touchstone Pictures.
As an eight year-old boy, Allen Bauer (David Kreps) is vacationing with his family near Cape Cod. While taking a sight-seeing tour on a ferry, he gazes into the ocean and sees something below the surface that fascinates him. Allen jumps into the water, even though he cannot swim. He grasps the hands of a girl who is inexplicably under the water with him and an instant connection forms between the two. Allen is quickly pulled to the surface by the deck hands and the two are separated, though apparently no one else sees the girl. After the ferry moves off, Allen continues to look back at the girl in the water, who cries at their separation. She then dives underwater again, showing her mermaid's tail. Allen comes to believe the encounter was a near-death vision hallucination, but his bond with the mermaid proves so strong that his subsequent relationships with women invariably fail as he seeks the connection he felt with the mermaid.
Years later, Allen (Tom Hanks) is a co-owner of a wholesale fruit and vegetable business in New York City with his womanizing older brother Freddie (John Candy). Depressed after his latest breakup, Allen returns to Cape Cod, where he briefly encounters eccentric scientist Dr. Walter Kornbluth (Eugene Levy) and again falls into the sea. He wakes up on a beach where he encounters a beautiful naked woman (Daryl Hannah) who, unknown to him, is the mermaid he met as a boy (her tail transforms into legs when it becomes dry). He instantly becomes attracted to her as she had again saved him from drowning. After kissing him, she dives into the sea and leaves Allen to return home. Kornbluth, while diving in order to seek proof of strange sea creatures, also encounters the mermaid in her sea form, causing him to become obsessed with finding her again.
The mermaid finds Allen's wallet that he dropped in the water and decides to find him in New York. She comes ashore naked at the Statue of Liberty, where she is remanded for indecent exposure much to the dismay of a group of visitors. Gaining information from Allen's wallet, the mermaid gets released into his care. She picks up English from watching television all day and chooses the name Madison from a Madison Avenue sign. Madison is vague about where she comes from and tries to distract Allen from asking questions about her country of origin. She tells Allen that she will be in New York for "six fun-filled days when the moon is full" and if she stays longer, she can never go home again (the reason for this is unexplained, though in the Special Features of the 2004 DVD edition, there is a reference to a deleted scene in which Madison has visited a sea hag and made some sort of bargain). Despite Madison's occasional unusual behavior, she and Allen fall in love. Allen eventually proposes to Madison, to which she declines, refusing to explain why and runs away, leaving Allen confused and heartbroken. After pondering her reason for coming to the city in the first place, Madison returns to Allen and agrees to marry him, with the added promise of telling him the truth about her at an upcoming dignity dinner to welcome the President of the United States.
Meanwhile, Kornbluth, realizing that the naked woman at Liberty Island was the mermaid he had encountered, pursues the couple, trying to expose her as a mermaid by splashing her with water. Many attempts are unsuccessful and Kornbluth ends up with multiple injuries, including a badly broken arm and whiplash. When he finally does so at the dignity dinner attended by Allen and Madison, the exposed mermaid is taken in by government scientists led by Kornbluth's cold-hearted former colleague and rival Dr. Ross (Richard B. Shull) for examination. However, Kornbluth regrets his actions after he learns that Madison is due to be studied and dissected, as he just wanted to prove that he wasn't crazy.
Allen is, of course, shocked by Madison's secret and when he denies his love for her, Freddie lashes out at him, telling his brother how happy he was with her. Finally, Allen confronts a guilt-ridden Kornbluth at the dentist, who agrees to help him.
Impersonating two Swedish scientists, Freddie and Allen enter the lab with Kornbluth and manage to smuggle Madison outside. Madison makes it back to the ocean and tells Allen that he can survive under water as long as he is with her. Allen realizes she was the young mermaid he had met so long before. The United States military arrive to recapture her for research, ignoring Allen's demands to let her be free. Although Madison warns him that if he comes to live in the sea he can't return, he jumps into the water after her and they elude their pursuers. Together they swim along the ocean floor toward what appears to be an underwater kingdom.

Screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel both make cameo appearances in the film. Ganz plays Stan the Tour Guide in the scene set at the Statue of Liberty. Mandel plays the man in charge of ice skate rentals who tackles Tom Hanks' character when he tries to run out with his skates still on. Director Ron Howard's father, actor Rance Howard, can be seen early in the film as Mr. McCullough, an unhappy customer screaming at Allen about his cherries. Howard's brother Clint Howard can be seen as a wedding guest, identified by Candy's character as the bride's brother and yelled at by Hanks.
According to the documentary on the Splash: 20th Anniversary Edition DVD in 2004, producer Brian Grazer had pitched the film to numerous studios but was turned down repeatedly until Walt Disney Productions, then headed by Ron Miller, agreed to produce the film. An issue at the time of production was the competition between Splash and another announced mermaid film from Warner Bros. that had lined up Warren Beatty as its star. Director Ron Howard promised the studio that Splash would be filmed more quickly and cheaply than the other film, which eventually fell through.
Many big name actors such as Jeff Bridges, Chevy Chase, Richard Gere, Kevin Kline, Bill Murray, and John Travolta were all considered for the lead role before the producers decided on the then lesser known Tom Hanks.
The film's content (including some language and brief nudity), which was deemed inappropriate for a Disney film at the time, led to the creation of the Touchstone Pictures label, which would release films targeted towards older audiences. Splash was the first film to be released by the new label.
The beach where Tom Hanks first encounters the nude Daryl Hannah is on the former Gorda Cay in the Bahamas. It is now Castaway Cay, the private island paradise of the Disney Cruise Line.
Darryl Hannah's mermaid tail was designed and created by Academy Award-winning visual effects artist Robert Short.[2]
The tail was fully functional. Hannah swam with the mermaid tail so fast that her safety team could not keep pace with her. According to the DVD documentary, Hannah had been swimming "mermaid" style with her legs bound together since she was a child, due to her fascination with Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" story.
However, by the standards of swimmable mermaid tails, the exceptionally-detailed film tail was difficult to remove. For the sake of efficiency, Hannah at first kept it on while the cast had lunch. In the documentary contained on the 20th-anniversary Splash! DVD, Tom Hanks recalled how the other cast members would drop French fries over the side to her as though she were a trained sea mammal, for she couldn't leave the water while her legs were "shrink-wrapped."
The movie was a huge financial success. It was produced on an US$8 million budget, grossing $6,174,059 in its opening weekend[3] and finished its domestic run with $69,821,334,[4] making it the tenth highest-grossing film of 1984.[5] The movie was also well received by critics and is considered to be one of the best films of 1984.[6][7][8][9] It earned a 92% "Fresh" rating from the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes.[10]

Soundtrack releases[edit]
An official fourteen-track soundtrack for the film was released on both vinyl LP and cassette in the UK by Cherry Lane Records Ltd in 1984. Both have been out of print for many years. The catalogue numbers for these releases were PIPLP 710 and ZCPIP 710 respectively. In 2000 the soundtrack was released on a twenty six track CD in the U.S. by Super Tracks Music Group. The back cover states that this product is "For Promotional Use Only" and that it has been "Manufactured for the composer...". Although this release is very hard to find brand new and may in fact be out of print, it is still obtainable from certain movie soundtrack specialist retailers and also occasionally used from certain online stores. This CD has every track that the LP and cassette have but has a considerably longer running length due to the twelve extra tracks. These extra tracks include more of the original music from the film, the theme song (by Lee Holdridge and Will Jennings) sung by Rita Coolidge and alternate versions of some of the tracks which appear on the LP and Cassette. The catalogue number for this release is LH CD – 02.

Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner's 2006 book Freakonomics credits the film with popularizing the name "Madison" for girls, as does Steven Pinker's 2007 The Stuff of Thought. In the film, Daryl Hannah's character takes her name from Madison Avenue after walking past a road sign. Hanks' character comments that it is not a real name as, at the time, it was a rather unusual name for a woman. However, in the years since the film was released in theatres and re-released on VHS and then DVD, the name's popularity has skyrocketed.
According to the Social Security Administration, the name "Madison" was the 216th most popular name in the United States for girls in 1990, the 29th most popular name for girls in 1995, and the 3rd most popular name for girls in 2000.[15] In 2005, the name finally cracked the top 50 most popular girls' names in the United Kingdom, and articles in British newspapers credit the film for the popularization.
Butch Hartman once credited the Eugene Levy character as the inspiration for his character of Denzel Crocker on The Fairly Oddparents. Both characters are obsessed with a certain legendary creature and spend their free time trying to prove that such creatures exist. In both cases, the characters have practically no social life and various enemies.
In Tom Green's 2001 film Freddy Got Fingered, when Gord is showing his cartoon "Zebras in America" to the head of the cartoon studio in an attempt to shop the drawings, he compares the cartoon to Splash calling it "A fish out of water story".
Actress and underwater stunt woman Mermaid Melissa's films, Real Life Adventures, are a tribute to Splash by replicating the mermaid tail used for the movie. Underwater scenes are filmed using the tail not only as a prop but as a functional swimming peripheral.
- Splash, Too (directed by Greg Antonacci), appeared in 1988 as a television film (contradicting the first movie's finale revelation that if Allen goes to live in the sea, he can never return). Only one member of the original cast, Dody Goodman, the Bauers' slightly deranged assistant Mrs. Stimler, reprises her role.
- A novelization of the film, written by Ian Marter (under the pen name Ian Don), was published by Target Books in the United Kingdom.

Providing knowledge and changing behaviour, and need to cater the social andfinancial issues in the community
Water For People-Malawi takes a step back and asks some probing questions about the effectiveness of micro-financing sanitation. Through one woman's story , Water For People looks beyond the repayment/default ratios and statistics to understand whether micro-finance can catalyze a longer term relationship between humans and their toilets.
The water quality problem in India is severe in many pockets of the country. It has been learnt that there are comparatively less efforts toward addressing the problems related to water quality by government and other agencies in India. We have examples where the youth could not find jobs in organizations or public sector agencies those take physical fitness test by looking in each parameter of health of a person. In majority of cases the health authorities are not aware about the severity of endemic water quality problems in their area. The institutional coordination and knowledge networking efforts are shockingly negligible. This article tells that what the agencies and government should consider in such situation.

What a Week
It's tough being a Senators fan these days. The casual fans are all apathetic now that the Montreal Canadiens have officially been eliminated from the postseason. Anton Volchenkov has apparently put his house up for sale and is rumoured to sign with the Washington Capitals. And we also learned that the Senators wanted Cammalleri, but settled for Kovalev.
It's a good thing that management invigorated the fan base by re-signing Ryan Keller to a two-way contract otherwise it would have been tough not to join in on the untimely and inexplicable criticism of Bryan Murray's Alexei Kovalev signing ... (wait for it) ... in late May.
According to The Ottawa Citizen, Bryan Murray offered Mike Cammalleri less years and less money (4 years, $5.5 million per year) than the Canadiens. And if you want to fool yourself into thinking that he almost came to Ottawa, well, that's your prerogative.
At this time of year, it's a recurring theme for the mainstream types to dedicate pieces to those players who have exhibited some recent success in the playoffs and wonder what if. It's the kind of knee-jerk water cooler discussion that's hilarious to pause and reflect upon years later. (Ed. note: I think everyone knows at least someone who once thought that signing Erik Cole to an expensive, long-term contract was a good idea.) Unfortunately, it's in vogue to use this as an opportunity to dump all over Bryan Murray for what he should have, could have, would have done. But it's not just the fans, for the second time in less than a week, the mainstream media has reminded us during these lackluster news days of how uninspired and unproductive Kovalev's play was this past season. It's almost too easy and unnecessary.
While it's become cliche to characterize Alexei Kovalev as untradeable. Apparently he's not alone. According to Bruce Garrioch's sources, there's 'no market' for Jason Spezza. With the way that the past two weeks have unfolded, I can't help but wonder if he's the latest to appear in a summer long feature series that chronicles the list of players who can't be dealt from the Senators. Next week, it will be Daniel Alfredsson. The week after, Pascal Leclaire.
I realize that the whole trade Spezza angle is of particular concern to that sect of fan who don't want to see Ottawa's number one center dealt out of town for a lesser return. Especially when a significant portion of a mainstream paper's respondents voted to move Spezza out of town. (Ed. note: Every Ottawa Sun poll should come with a skill testing question like (4-2) 5 +3 = so that we can determine how bright the respondents are.) Anyways, that's not what really interested me from Garrioch's article. The part that had me truly concerned is the speculation that Spezza isn't thrilled with the fans, either. He complained to Murray about being booed by the hometown faithful in the playoffs. The Senators told him that comes with the territory.
I wish I could have heard the transcript that went with that conversation. It probably would have gone something like this:
Jason: Mr. Murray, they're booing me.
Bryan: Well, if you're that concerned, I'll need to know since the window of opportunity to trade you before your NTC kicks in on July 1st. Is Ottawa a city where you'll be comfortable spending the rest of your contract playing?
Jason: <awkward nervous laughter>
Bryan: Do you remember how the Dany Heatley situation unfolded? It won't be good for either of us.
Jason: <awkward nervous laughter>
Bryan: Is this a city that you're comfortable playing in if I can't find a reasonable return for you on the trade market?
Jason: <awkward nervous laughter> ... Please don't send me to Edmonton.

The West Virginia offensive tempo was bad. Kickoff coverage was bad.
Mountaineer coach Dana Holgorsen kept calling for the fade. Unfortunately for him, he got it. From his team. Odds are, West Virginia will now fade out of the Top 25 rankings. And it's an ugly blemish in these times of conference talk.
Holgorsen seemed to make a gutsy call to keep his team in the game. On a third-and-just-short-of-9 situation, he checked his notes and signaled for a Shawne Alston run up the gut. He almost got the first down. Then he got it on the next try. Alston scored on Try 3. WVU had climbed within 21-16.
But it was like - can this even be typed? - West Virginia's performance against LSU. After clawing back, the dam broke on the Mountaineers.
Another fine play by Graham, the star of the game, set Syracuse up on the ensuing kickoff. He ran the ball back to the SU 49. West Virginia eventually gave up a touchdown to David Stevens, who - the public address announcer made it known - was chalking up not only his first touchdown of the season, but the first of his career. Stevens, it should be noted, didn't appear on the Syracuse two-deep depth chart. And he's a senior.
The theory it was just another Mountaineer slow start was washed away like dirt in a gully after a hard rain.
WVU played slowly, listlessly. Syracuse played with verve. Keep in mind, Syracuse entered the game last in the Big East in total defense. The Mountaineer defense, meanwhile, helped make quarterback Ryan Nassib look like Aaron Rodgers. Once, on a third-and-8, Nassib zipped a pass to a kid (I'm not playing with WVU fans here) named Jarrod West. He beat Mountaineer defensive back Brantwon Bowser.
Oh, and after Stevens' wide-open touchdown? Those in charge of the Dome decided to played the theme to "Deliverance."
That's correct. A cultural slap on top of the one being carried out on the field.
At game's end, after WVU's Stedman Bailey had looked away and dropped a pass in his hands, the crowd chanted "over-rated" during an injury timeout.
Unfortunately for the guests, though, that was the least embarrassing moment of the evening.

For some time I have been spiking my hair and using temporary hair colouring to spray it wild colours. I have been using stencils to get patterns in my hair, however, they could never be anything too detailed as I could never get it close enough to my hair to prevent the spray going under the stencil. I never quite got the graffiti artist results I wanted.
I recently had a brain wave, that our MOO Round Stickers would be perfect for this. They are very easy to cut with a scalpel and I had a pack laying around with the Punisher symbol on it.
I also realised that I could use the sticker surround to make a nice circle around the symbol to frame it better and that this could also be used to strengthen a paper stencil that I had cut to have some black thunderbolts coming out from the skull.
This morning I tried it out and I think this has to be the best stencil I have done by myself I am really pleased with it.
My next experiment will be with our Large Rectangular Stickers >:D
Sorry, can't find anything like this.
I love the creativity and the freedom you have to explore, and the individuality, I have always tried to foster this in my three sons. Good on you dude!

Next week, Death Cab leader Ben Gibbard releases his solo debut Former Lives, an album of his songs that didn't quite fit the Death Cab mode. We've already heard a handful of them: "Teardrop Windows," "Something's Rattling (Cowpoke)," the Aimee Mann duet "Bigger Than Love." And now the entire LP is streaming as one big 37-minute YouTube chunk. Hear it below.
Former Lives is out 10/16 via Barsuk.

Lube Stop has been lauded by both local and national press outlets for its Sustainability Program, which decreases the environmental impact of the shop's auto services. Its signature EcoGuard oil change, for example, refreshes engines with re-refined motor oil. Lube Stop also recycles oil and antifreeze, and it plants two new oil-filter trees for every one it chops down.
Besides eight kinds of oil changes, Lube Stop provides multipoint inspections, tire rotations, battery replacement, and other maintenance and repair services. More than 240 employees—who receive continuous training to keep up with eco-friendly practices—helm the company's 37 Cleveland- and Akron-area locations, all of which offer E-Check emissions-testing stations.
Wash Works sees to the outward upkeep of people's most trusted companions: their cars and their dogs. Four-wheelers cruise through touchless, automated car washes to receive a bath from two kinds of detergent, while four-legged friends get gussied up at one of two self-serve pet washes. Pups of all sizes scamper up a graded ramp before lavishing in a sudsy session, which owners control using a hand sprayer and drying hose.
The principle behind Rain-X is simple: it causes water to bead and roll off the glass, therefore improving the driver's visibility during inclement weather. This humble concept has made the product one of the most called-upon tools in the auto industry, including at A-1 Auto's & Detail. During their exterior detail, A-1's technicians apply a quick spritz of Rain-X to all windows, allowing car owners to cruise through thunderstorms or have a good cry on the roof of their car, worry free. Aside from Rain-X, the team also treats exteriors to products by Black Magic, including their wheel shine, and sweeps through interiors with vacuums and ultra-violet cream protectant for the dash.
Wheely Clean Car Wash's family of facilities keeps Cleveland-area rides looking their best. Engineered by trained attendants, each wash uses environmentally friendly products, and begins with a hand steam that preps outer surfaces for a cleaning and releases any stubborn paint wrinkles. Vehicles then freely roll through the sudsy process, which includes free vacuuming in Parma or the option for detailing services in Northfield. Wheely Clean also operates as a discrimination-free business, meaning owners never pay more when a full-size SUV, van, or giraffe's limo needs a scrub.
Rick Case Honda's ASE-certified and Honda factory-trained technicians degunk all models of vehicles from hood to trunk, and do it with a flourish of spectacular customer service. Employ expert technicians to evict the sludge monster that dwells inside your ride and replace it with fresh lubricant. An oil-filter replacement ensures all particles of imperfection are collected as oil plows through the engine smoothly. Encourage rowdy rubber to engage in a tire fire drill, which allows longer life and better tread and keeps your rubber road babies from accusing you of front-wheel favoritism. Rick Case Honda's multipoint inspection of fluids, drive belts, suspension, ingrown wipers, and overall vehicle safety helps car components continue to operate smoothly. The entire process of these services takes about 30 minutes.
Wash Me's top-notch dirt disciplinary tunnels swiftly silence any car's dirty-window messages with soapy suds. Help autos recover from a weekend of mud-wrestling with the super-wash pass, which includes prep, a three-step wash, a three-step hot wax, a chassis bath, wheel brightener, tire cleaner, and a towel dry. Each friendly Wash Me technician ensures that autos make their exits ready to make an entrance, and an indoor waiting area gives guests a comfortable spot to await any extra wheelmobile washyness they've requested.

There may still be a significant portion of the American viewing audience that doesn't have immediate access to Fuel TV on their satellite or cable systems, but that hasn't stopped the action sports network from continued record-setting growth with its UFC-centric programming.
Fuel TV on Monday revealed that third quarter 2012 was its most-watched ever, fueled by nine consecutive months and 40 straight weeks of audience growth.
Throughout 2012, the network has been the fastest growing ad-supported cable network in percentage year-over-year growth among households, total viewers, and men 18-49 during total day and prime time, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Needless to say, Fuel TV executives are gushing over the growth propelled primarily by its UFC programming.
