Membership Class
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
The Membership class is used in ASP.NET applications to validate user credentials and manage user settings such as passwords and e-mail addresses. The Membership class can be used on its own, or in conjunction with the FormsAuthentication to create a complete system for authenticating users of a Web application or site. The Login control encapsulates the Membership class to provide a convenient mechanism for validating users.
If you are not familiar with the membership features of ASP.NET, see Introduction to Membership before continuing. For a list of other topics related to membership, see Managing Users By Using Membership.
The Membership class provides facilities for:
Creating new users.
Storing membership information (user names, passwords, e-mail addresses, and supporting data) in Microsoft SQL Server or in an alternative data store.
Authenticating users who visit your site. You can authenticate users programmatically, or you can use the Login control to create a complete authentication system that requires little or no code.
Managing passwords, which includes creating, changing, retrieving, and resetting them, and so on. You can optionally configure ASP.NET membership to require a password question and answer to authenticate password reset or retrieval requests for users that have forgotten their password.
Although ASP.NET membership is a self-standing feature in ASP.NET For authentication, it can be integrated with ASP.NET role management to provide authorization services for your site. Membership can also be integrated with the ASP.NET user System.Web.Profile to provide application-specific customization that can be tailored to individual users. For details, see Understanding Role Management and Understanding ASP.NET Profile Properties.
The Membership class relies on membership providers to communicate with a data source. The .NET Framework includes a SqlMembershipProvider, which stores user information in a Microsoft SQL Server database, and an ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, which enables you to store user information on an Active Directory or Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) server. You can also implement a custom membership provider to communicate with an alternative data source that can be used by the Membership class. Custom membership providers inherit the MembershipProvider abstract class. For more information, see Implementing a Membership Provider.
By default, ASP.NET membership is enabled for all ASP.NET applications. The default membership provider is the SqlMembershipProvider and is specified in the machine configuration with the name
AspNetSqlProvider. The default instance of the SqlMembershipProvider is configured to connect to a local instance of Microsoft SQL Server.
You can modify the default settings to specify a SqlMembershipProvider other than the
AspNetSqlProvider instance as the default provider, or specify an instance of a custom provider as the default provider for your ASP.NET application using the Web.config file. You can specify the ASP.NET membership configuration for your Web application using the membership configuration section in the Web.config file. You can use the providers subsection of the membership section to specify a membership provider other than one of the default providers. For example, the following membership section removes the default membership providers from the current application configuration and adds a new provider with a name of SqlProvider that connects to a SQL Server instance named MySqlServer.
<configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="SqlServices" connectionString="Data Source=MySqlServer;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;" /> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="20"> <providers> <remove name="AspNetSqlProvider" /> <add name="SqlProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="SqlServices" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" passwordFormat="Hashed" applicationName="/" /> </providers> </membership> </system.web> </configuration>
|Walkthrough: Creating a Web Site with Membership and User Login (Visual Studio)
|Building ASP .NET Web Applications in Visual Studio
The following code example shows the login page for an ASP.NET application configured to use forms authentication and ASP.NET membership. If the supplied user credentials are invalid, a message is displayed to the user. Otherwise, the user is redirected to the originally requested URL using the RedirectFromLoginPage method.
The ASP.NET login controls (Login, LoginView, LoginStatus, LoginName, and PasswordRecovery) encapsulate virtually all of the logic required to prompt users for credentials and validate the credentials in the membership system and can be used in place of programmatic checking using the Membership class.

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview (Visual Studio).

Tony Parker scored 24 points, Tim Duncan had 17 and the San Antonio Spurs pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the Denver Nuggets 102-94 on Tuesday night.
Kawhi Leonard added 14 points and Tiago Splitter 12 for the Spurs, who beat the Nuggets for the fifth time in the last eight meetings at the Pepsi Center.
Ty Lawson had 20 points to lead Denver, which is still seeking its first win of the season under first year coach Brian Shaw.
Kenneth Faried scored 15 points and had eight rebounds in his return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in Denver's first two games while dealing with a sore hamstring.
Trailing by nine at halftime, the Spurs scored nine of the first 11 points opening the fourth quarter, going in front 81-80 on Splitter's three-point play with 9:06 remaining.
But Denver backup center Timofey Mozgov fouled out with 8:22 remaining and starting center JaVale McGee, who was on the bench with five fouls, didn't re-enter the game until there were about five minutes left.
The Spurs took advantage, putting together an 11-2 burst that Parker culminated with an 18-foot jumper giving San Antonio a 92-84 lead with 5:30 remaining.
A dunk by Faried pulled the Nuggets to 94-88 with 3:28 left to play. But again, Parker connected on a mid-range jumper and Leonard, after a steal, shook free for a fast-break dunk as the Spurs opened a 10-point lead with 2:23 left. That was more than enough to hold off the Nuggets the rest of the way.
After Splitter made one of two free throws tying it 29-all, the Nuggets pulled back in front with a 12-0 run, starting with consecutive baskets by Faried, including a breakaway dunk following a steal.
The Spurs got back to 48-43 as Matt Bonner hit a 3-pointer and Parker made a pair of free throws but the Nuggets closed the second quarter with a 3-pointer by Andre Miller and a free throw by Lawson for a 52-43 halftime lead.
NOTES: The Spurs' Bonner sat out the second half because of tightness in his left calf. ... The first-half point total for the Nuggets represented a season high. ... Denver's Anthony Randolph, who has been hampered by an ankle sprain, was held out of the game.

Watson beefs up women's health biz, adds 19 sales reps
The 19 new reps supporting Crinone and Prochieve were transitioned over from Columbia Laboratories, where Crinone and Prochieve were first introduced in 1997. Reps will target urologists, Ob/Gyns, reproductive endocrinologists and general practitioners, said Mayr, as well as institutions and clinics. Watson paid $47 million for exclusive US marketing rights, and received 11,200,000 shares of common stock in Columbia Laboratories as part of the deal. Merck Serono holds commercialization rights to Crinone in all markets outside of the US.Mayr said Watson is looking to grow its branded drug portfolio, specifically in urology and women's health. Last February Watson became a marketing partner on HRA Pharma's Ella (ulipristal acetate), an emergency contraceptive currently undergoing FDA review; an FDA panel voted unanimously in favor of approval in mid-June. Ella (called EllaOne in Europe) received marketing approval across the European Union in May 2009, becoming the first product specifically designed for emergency contraceptive to be approved by the European Commission, according to an HRA Pharma statement.
A selective progesterone receptor modulator, Ella has demonstrated an ability in clinical trials to reduce the chance of pregnancy for up to five days after unprotected sex; Plan B is indicated as an emergency contraceptive for up to 72 hours, or three days, after sex, and lost sales in 2009 due to generic competition, according to a Teva financial statement. Watson launched a bioequivalent two-pill generic of Plan B, called Next Choice, in August of 2009.
Mayr said he expects an FDA decision on Ella in "late July or early August." Erin Gainer, CEO of HRA Pharma, told Agence France-Presse in June that a US approval could bring in sales of "several hundred million dollars."

When planning a vacation, you have two primary choices: exploring places you are familiar with or exploring somewhere new. While there's comfort in the former, the latter choice holds the promise of new discoveries, unique experiences and the most enduring memories. For those who want to explore off the beaten track, there's perhaps no more dynamic and magical destination in the world than India. Its immense size, centuries of history and broad spectrum of cultures make it an unparalleled choice for travelers seeking a one-of-a-kind journey. With the help of an India tour, you can focus on enjoying all it has to offer.
India's designation as a subcontinent offers a good indication of just how enormous it is; however, there are fascinating sights from the far north to the furthest points south. Getting between them all can be a challenge in terms of logistics, language barriers and other factors, so an India tour can help ensure that you get to see the top sights. The hassles of independent planning aside, an India tour can also help you keep costs in check. Compared to do-it-yourself journeys, tours like those offered by Tauck can save you of as much as 40 percent, while ensuring that you'll travel comfortably.
So, what are the "must see" sights of India that you should look for on an India tour? It can be a challenge to narrow it down, but experts agree that these are the essential five:
1. Delhi, Old and New: Delhi is more than just the capital of modern India – it's a living historical site, with layers upon layers of kingdoms and empires past. New Delhi and Old Delhi exist side-by-side and intertwine, but have distinct differences. While you are in New Delhi on your India tour, you'll see the grand buildings and broad avenues that came with the British Raj, but also the Qutb Minar, built more than 800 years ago. Old Delhi is crowded with colorful bazaars, temples and havelis (mansions), but you'll also find colonial monuments. Above all else, in Delhi you'll see the dynamic interplay of modern and ancient India on display.
2. Varanasi: The sacred River Ganges is the focal point of Varanasi, one of the holiest sites for millions of Hindus. Pilgrims congregate on the ghats (flights of steps leading down to the river) to perform all kinds of ceremonies and bathe in the holy water of the river – a tradition that stretches back to the 6th century. At night, a boat journey on the river is an incomparable experience; pilgrims send candles and flowers out from the banks, as they "put the river to sleep," creating an utterly spectacular scene.
3. Agra: If you're tempted to think that you can bypass a visit to Agra during your India tour, the urging of experts – and anyone who has visited – should change your mind. Agra is home to the Taj Mahal, one of the most revered buildings in history and also one of the most beautiful. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the story behind its creation makes the sight even more moving. If possible, viewing it at sunrise is an experience to savor.
4. Udaipur: Reputedly the most romantic city in India, Udaipur makes the most of its atmospheric lakeside location. Here, glittering white palaces stand majestically on islands in the middle of Lake Pichola, and temples and other cultural wonders make for excellent sightseeing.
5. Kerala: Near the southern tip of the subcontinent lies the state of Kerala, a "must-visit" on any India tour. Swaying palm trees, tea and spice plantations, and meandering lagoons called "the backwaters" provide a unique tropical atmosphere. The local culture is completely distinct from other parts of India; don't miss the opportunity to see a Kathakali dance performance to get a taste of it. The other essential Kerala experience during an India tour is to travel by houseboat (also called a kettuvalam) through the backwaters.
India is truly the destination of a lifetime, and one that will allow you to explore to your heart's content. For more India tour information, visit Tauck Online.

E-Health: Electronic Medical Records And E-Discovery In The Digital Ageby Robin K. Vinson, Smith, Anderson, Blount, Dorsett, Mitchell & Jernigan, LLP, Raleigh, NC
The advent of personal computers and electronically stored information (ESI) has produced both opportunity and challenge for today's healthcare providers. In a modern world dependent on automated processes, storing and transferring health information in a digital format creates speed and efficiency. At the same time, however, the dependence on ESI may result in frustrations and new liability risks for the unwary. Indeed, a paperless medical office may inundate even the brightest healthcare provider with mounds of information which is everywhere, yet nowhere, at the same time. As discussed in this article, effective electronic medical records management will allow healthcare professionals to succeed in a complex healthcare marketplace, while reducing waste and inefficiency.
In general, ESI includes any information, data or process that can be stored or read in a digital format: e-mail, word processing files, web pages, financial reports created by spreadsheet applications, documents scanned and stored in various formats, audio files, x-rays, MRIs, and photographs and other digital images. 1 Such electronic information is uniquely different from its former paper counterpart in several significant ways. First, electronic documents are created and transferred at a much faster pace than paper documents. Second, electronic documents are harder to dispose of than paper documents, in that the deletion of a file from a desktop does not remove it from the computer's storage devices. Third, unlike paper charts and flat x-ray films, computer information is dynamic and can be reviewed in many ways, and also may be susceptible to change without human intervention, such as a software application that is designed to update files automatically. Finally, electronic data is dependent on its software or data base environment in order for the material to be accessed and used effectively, which can be problematic when technology changes require the movement of data from one software program to another while upgrades are taking place. 2
The New Paradigm
For most physicians and their practices, ESI and it related technology is a constant learning process. Today's digital age requires the physician to learn a completely new language relating to the creation and management of electronic information. While most of us have come to understand concepts like desktops, laptops, PDAs, CPUs, hard drives, memory, and encryption, the world of e-health, electronic medical records, and e-discovery in litigation requires a speaking acquaintance with terms like ghost image, forensic or mirror image, allocated and unallocated space, hash value, metadata, legacy data, orphan records, WORM media, and life-cycle management. 3 With ESI usually accessible and searchable, many providers have developed a false sense of security as to their ability to safeguard and manage effectively the information captured and created on a daily basis. IT vendors have, for years, sold proprietary health information software and network applications 4 which allow both large and small providers to treat their patients efficiently, integrate their processes, and maintain regulatory compliance. In most cases, providers have navigated, albeit awkwardly, the various record retention requirements and regulations in areas involving Medicare, Medicaid, JCAHO, OIG, Stark, and other authorities. 5 To ease the burden of storage, IT professionals have created automatic archival and deletion protocols which, in large measure, operate consistent with health policy and regulatory objectives.
Electronic Medical Records -- Rewards and Challenges
An electronic medical record (EMR) is a medical record in a digital format, that is, a patient record that is created, stored and transmitted electronically. 6 First conceived as a way to reduce medical errors and increase efficiency, the use of EMRs has revolutionized the practice of medicine in less than a generation. EMR technology has been shown to reduce medication errors drastically by eliminating the use of handwritten prescriptions and easier checking for contra-indications and drug interactions. 7 The use of computerized physician orders (from simple email formats to hand-held scanners and bar-coding systems) may reduce medication errors by as much as 85% in certain patient populations. 8 Similarly, although there are substantial upfront costs, automated claims processing has reduced overhead and increased the net payments for many providers, reducing financial strain on busy practitioners in the process. 9 EMR technology has also been shown to facilitate clinical integration and efficiencies across large provider groups, whereby clinical alerts and reminders in computer-based medical records have resulted in significantly faster and more complete adoption of practice guidelines in various areas of disease management. 10
At the same time, with the increased use of EMR technology, there will likely be new and challenging issues for physicians and healthcare attorneys alike. First, liability risks may arise regarding possible violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). 11 For any health care provider who transmits health information in an electronic form, HIPAA defines and limits the circumstances under which an individual's protected health information can be used or disclosed. The existing HIPAA privacy and security rules require physicians to establish safeguards to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of electronic protected health information. 12 At the very least, practitioners should establish secure log-on and password procedures to assure authentication, and install adequate firewall software on all devices to avoid contamination. 13
Second, any donor program between hospitals or similar entities and physicians need to meet the safe harbor exceptions in order to avoid anti-kickback and Stark law violations. In 2006, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services and the Office of the Inspector General simultaneously established rules creating an exception to the Physician's Self-Referral Law ("Stark") and a new safe harbor to the Anti-Kickback Statute, whereby donations of technology will not violate the Stark Law and the Anti-Kickback Statute if certain conditions are met. 14 The e-prescribing regulations allow certain limited donations of e-prescribing technology to physicians, which may include hardware, software, and training services necessary to receive and transmit electronic prescription information. The new EMR regulations allow various healthcare institutions to donate EMR systems to physicians and physician group practices, as long as the software is interoperable, the use is left unrestricted, and a written agreement reflects certain required cost--sharing arrangements. 15
Third, new and challenging risks may arise in medical malpractice and liability cases involving EMR programs and electronic protected health information. In many respects, the physician's decision-making process during patient encounters is influenced by the template based software and text written by the EMR vendor, which may not reflect actual custom and practice in a particular jurisdiction. Commentators have suggested that use of EMR systems may, over time, create national standards of care which do not exist at present. 16 In addition, where templates automatically make entries into the patient record without supervision, and automatically update prior records with new information, the patient record could be rendered inaccurate. 17 Further, in cases where the template suggests and assigns claims codes to patient encounters, there exists the possibility of possible false claims issues. 18 Any one of these untoward events could spawn a myriad of additional issues concerning product liability and indemnification claims.
The ability to create and store electronic data and information has resulted in increasing demands by litigants to preserve, retrieve and produce metadata (data showing date, time and manner of use of patient record, for example) and other encrypted information ancillary to the patient EMR information. Whereas presently only a few reported decisions have applied e-discovery principles in medical malpractice cases, there will likely be an increasing emphasis on computer forensics in these cases in the future. Recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 19 and the procedural rules of many states have adopted rules regarding the management and use of ESI in the litigation arena, and these new rules will likely require litigants to meet and confer early in the litigation process to identify and preserve ESI that may be subject to discovery. 20 Indeed, discovery depositions of IT personnel familiar with EMR systems and the analysis of metadata may become routine in medical liability litigation.
The Future of Health Information Technology
The Bush Administration has called for the nationwide adoption of EMR programs covering the majority of Americans by 2014. To facilitate that effort, on July 23, 2008, a congressional panel approved a major health IT bill which would provide approximately $560 million in loans and grants available to physicians and other health care providers in rural and underserved areas and in small practices over the next five years. 21
The year 2009 may see yet additional congressional funding for incentives to providers adopting EMR systems. 22 As healthcare professionals move toward uniform use of EMRs, and in light of recent e-discovery trends, there will likely be an increasing demand for IT personnel who have both medical and forensic expertise. Likewise, physician groups should expect and demand that their legal counsel be well-versed in the technical jargon of electronically stored information and electronic medical records and their requirements and uses in clinical, compliance and litigation contexts.

Tunisia Incident - Click here for more information
Hover over the tabs below for more options
Zante will enchant you from the moment you arrive. Perhaps it's due to the cosy size of the island, which still manages to pack in a staggering array of awe-inspiring scenery. With more than 70 miles of sandy coastline, heading to the beach is a treat, especially if you pick out a cliff-enclosed cove for ultimate isolation. Inland, the terrain transforms again, with its forestlands' hues of green and earthy brown creating picturesque surroundings for tiny rustic villages. That's not to suggest Zante is all about peace and quiet – the southern side of the island has its share of sparkling clubs and bars, while family activities come in all forms, from water parks to a huge natural zoo. Time spent in Zante will always be as active or as relaxing as you want it to be.
The idyllic Ionian island of Zante encompasses a breathtaking terrain of startlingly sheer cliffs and beaches flecked with golden grains of sand. So it's not surprising that Zante has such a store of natural riches for sightseeing.
When aiming to explore the attractions of the island, you should start at its coast. It's here you'll find stunningly beautiful sights such as the Navagio Beach, also known as Smuggler's Cove. One of the most photographed spots in all of Greece and only accessible by boat, this cove of powdery sand is surrounded on all sides by immense white rock faces topped with evergreen pines. But beyond its beauty, the beach is the site of a shipwreck named MV Panagiotis with an interesting story to tell. It is believed to have been a smuggler's ship that was chased by the Greek Navy, running aground on the shore back in 1980. It has remained on the beach ever since, its rusting orange metal hinting at its dramatic history.
Venture onwards to the northernmost point of Zante and you'll uncover yet more impressive feats of nature at Cape Skinari. Wandering close to the island's edge upon silvery grey stone, you'll see an endless azure horizon, where a 19th century lighthouse and a rustic cobbled windmill peer over the sea. It's also around this stretch of coastline that you'll witness the astounding Blue Caves. Best seen by boat, you can actually sail right through the stone arches of the caves, including the biggest, Kianoun Cave. Up close, you'll see strands of sunlight glimmering on the radiant blue waters under the caves.
Amazingly, Zante's manmade attractions are just as enchanting as its natural wonders. This is especially the case at the churches you'll see dotted all over the island. For example, the whitewashed 15th century Byzantine Monastery of Skopiotissas sits amongst the weathered ruins of the ancient Artemis Temple, while the crumbled ruins of the old churches in Gaitani carry all the atmosphere of a deep spiritual history. However, perhaps the grandest religious building is Zante Town's St. Dionysius Church. With an elegant white bell tower lit up beautifully at night, the church's interior is just as stunning, adorned with gilded columns, chandeliers and artistic engravings.
If your interest in the history of the island is ignited by these impressive churches, you'll be fascinated with the Byzantine Museum of Zakynthos. Its stark, open rooms create a strong focus on the elaborate wood carvings and paintings dating from the 12th to the 15th century. You'll even have the chance to see intensely detailed crosses and statues, and post-Byzantine artworks from the 17th and 18th century.
While you're in the capital of Zante (aptly named Zante Town), as well as admiring the Byzantine Museum you should check out the Solomos Museum. Zante is famed as the birthplace of Greece's much-loved poet Dionysius Solomos, who was the writer of the Greek national anthem. As well as exhibits and artefacts about his life, his understated white stone tomb is also in the museum, being transferred here from Corfu after he died in 1857.
As an island that's been welcoming British tourists to its shores for many years, Zante has an abundance of activities and ways to have fun! There's definitely a focus on high-octane enjoyment at the F1 Go Kart in the lively resort of Laganas. This large, winding track is 610m long, taking in super speedy straights and breathtaking hairpins along the way! You'll also have a great time here if you're a group, as the go-karting centre can arrange parties and special tournaments too. The karts range from children's 120cc engines to 300cc vehicles for the pros, so everyone of all ages can get involved.
Spend some more time in Laganas and you'll really love it when the sun comes down! That's because this party hotspot has over 100 bars and clubs all packed into a neon-soaked strip. Throughout summer the nights buzz with activity and the bass-heavy sound of dance beats, while cheap drinks deals and free club entries ensure you won't blow your budget!
During the day, there's every opportunity to dive into the enticing sapphire waters surrounding Zante. The crystal clarity of the sea creates the perfect viewing conditions for scuba diving, where you'll have the chance of seeing barracudas, eels, tuna and even the island's indigenous endangered loggerhead turtles. One of the best diving sites is considered to be at the Keri Caves, where the cavernous rocks uncover vibrant sea life of every colour imaginable. In fact, the unique sea creatures in Zante's waters have led to it having a protected National Marine Park. Back on dry land, one of the best ways to explore Zante's lush green forestlands is by horseback. You have several options from where to start your journey here with stables based at the Horse-Riding Centre in both Argassi and Laganas. You'll truly discover the island's amazingly varied terrain, as you ride over golden sand dunes and grassy fields.
But fun isn't only found in the natural scenes of Zante. Head to peaceful Kalamaki or the capital Zante Town and you'll get a well-deserved dose of retail therapy. The shops in Zante Town are particularly exciting, as the main shopping area named Alexander Roma Street has a selection of branded shops and local handicrafts, while its side streets lead you to designer boutiques and glittering jewellers.
Despite being a fairly small island, Zante has a fabulous range of festivals. One of the most famed is the Zante Jazz Festival, which takes place every July in Zante Town. Pop along and you'll enjoy toe-tapping jazz sure to be accompanied with the soothing sounds of the saxophone!
Many of Zante's other major festivals follow a deeply religious theme, but they're often open for tourists and locals alike to enjoy. The Feast of the Virgin Mary is a popular celebration across not just Zante but all of Greece. Every year on the 15th of August there's mass dancing, drinking and eating until the early hours.
One event that is unique to the island is the Feast of Agios Dionysius. As the patron saint of Zante, Greek people from the island and beyond come to celebrate his life. From the end of the August, the event rolls on for three days!
Zante Town is a popular place at the end of August, as it's also the site of the annual Wine Festival. Zante has a fantastic reputation for the quality of its local wines, and here you'll get to sample many of its regional varieties.
Rather unusually, Zante hosts a Backgammon & Poker Festival every June. It sees backgammon and poker enthusiasts coming from all over the world, but all abilities are welcome.
With calm, shallow waters and warm, friendly restaurants, Zante is a very welcoming place for families. Plus, there are plenty of activities that sure to keep the kids happy.
One great example of Zante's family-friendly approach is the sheer number of water parks and mini-golf courses on a surprisingly small island. For splashing great fun, the Water Village is a great choice. The water park features a great selection of colourful slides, including spiral chutes, tandem slides and a sheer drop kamikaze! It's ideal for helping the whole family cool off during Zante's warm summer days. The clean and modern Splash Fun Water Park in Tsilivi is also very highly rated, and has an even bigger choice of attractions, such as a lazy river, waterfalls and a jungle-themed water playground.
When it comes to mini-golf, you're certainly spoilt for choice in Zante! Kids and adults alike will love the Fantasy Mini Golf, also based in Tsilivi. Spread across an impressive 4 acres, there are actually three courses to choose from according to difficulty, with each having original features like cascading fountains and a huge volcano! You can even stop off for a drink in the Irish pub after your game too!
The golfing fun continues at World Tour Mini Golf in Argassi. This 18-hole course has the ingenious idea of taking you on a whistle-stop tour around the world during your game of golf. While you play, you'll see miniaturised versions of iconic landmarks such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Empire State Building.
There are also great opportunities for families to enjoy learning about nature in Zante. For example, the Helmis Natural History Museum lies in the heart of the island in a quaint village named Agia Marina. Here you'll find out all about the unique landscape of Zante, and how it is the ideal habitat for rare turtles, fish and birds. You'll see still life scenes of animals, plants and flowers up close, while there are even ancient rocks and fossils on show.
However, if you'd prefer to see an even bigger range of live animals wandering open enclosures, you should visit the Askos Stone Park in the mountainous north of the island. Spread across 124 acres of parkland, you'll see free-roaming sheep, ponies, rabbits, turtles, cows, pigs, goats and chinchillas! As well as watching animals enjoy a thoroughly natural environment, the Park is lined with cypress, fir and olive trees and old stone walls and structures that date back as far as 600 years.
With heart-warming sights both inland and by the coast, romantic scenes are never far away from you in Zante. During the day, couples will love heading to the island's dreamy beaches. Zante has more than seventy miles of sandy coastline, so you'll certainly be spoilt for choice. One such peaceful stretch is Kalamaki Beach, where its thin strip of dusky golden sand leads to pine-fringed cliffs. A favoured nesting ground for loggerhead turtles, it's a beautiful place to relax with your partner. You'll also adore the golden arc of fine sand at Tsilivi Beach, where a crumbling old Venetian watchtower (known as a vardiola) adds a pretty, historic backdrop. Alternatively, choose to nestle down at Argassi Beach and you'll enjoy the elegant ruins of a 19th century cobbled stone bridge, arching out from the crystalline water.
But for an entirely original experience, you should head to Xigia Beach. Rivalling the Smuggler's Cove for its beauty, huge rock faces encircle you an all sides for an idyllic sense of isolation. Relax on its white-gold sands, or bathe in its warming sulphurous waters, said to be extremely soothing for your skin.
Beyond its beaches, Zante offers an intensely romantic atmosphere at its charming inland villages. Lithakia is one of the oldest on the island, composed of narrow streets, canary yellow townhouses and old churches, built with all the charm you'd expect of a place once preferred by the Venetians when they occupied the island. Keri Village is also a settlement of great beauty, where vines and roses curl around cobbled walls. The Venetian influence continues in Zante Town, as its central harbour and piazza have an uncanny resemblance to the inviting open space of Venice's St. Mark's Square, indeed it even shares the same name! It's also a captivating capital for enjoying the rich, fresh flavours of the local Greek cuisine. Enjoy candlelit dinners by the marina, sampling creamy feta cheese, juicy herb-infused souvlaki (kebabs) and slow-cooked stifado (a thick meat stew).
And if your delicious dining options leave you with a thirst for fine wine, you'll find the Callinico Winery serves you well. A tour of this lush vineyard takes in the old wooden machinery once used to create wine, as well as the chance to taste a selection of the wines, which have a crisp fruity character and evocative floral notes.
For the best views of Zante's most photographed landmark, Smuggler's Cove (or Navagio Beach), you should look out for the signposts to the Agios Gergio Kremnao Monastery. Make your way to the top of this road and you'll reach a viewing platform more than 600ft above the beach. You'll then be able to take some picture perfect snaps of its steep chalky cliffs surrounding the turquoise-toned water.
To pick up some truly authentic souvenirs, head to the remote village of Volimes. Its market features traditionally made handicrafts like rugs, ornaments and ceramics. After your visit, you could then carry on to the Askos Stone Park animal enclosure, which is in the same area.
While you're in Zante, you're also surprisingly close to one of the major historical sites of mainland Greece. Olympia is just a short ferry ride away from Zante and, as the place of the original Olympic Games, it has a huge number of ancient monuments and temples dating back to 600BC.

An entry-level $99 Nexus 7 tablet has been rumored for awhile and even confirmed by CNET, but many have been wondering what corners Google would cut to achieve this low price. According to the sometimse-credible Digitimes, it appears Google will use a single-core chip (PRIZM WM8950) from China-based WonderMedia Technologies and a HUVA TN panel made by Taiwan-based HannStar Display.
The estimated build of materials cost for the 8 GB Nexus 7 is around $151, and the most expensive components are the display, touchscreen, and processor. These parts add up to $83, which is more than half the total cost of the device. If Google goes with a cheaper processor and display, we think it's possible for them to produce a 7-inch tablet for less than $99.
We don't know much about the performance of this PRIZM WM8950 chip, but it does feature an 800 MHz Cortex-A9 CPU and a Mali-400 GPU. Clock speeds of the GPU are unknown, but it's still the same GPU architecture found in recent devices like the international Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II. This chip certainly won't match the performance of the quad-core Tegra 3, but Google should be able to squeeze enough juice out of it to run a 7-inch display.
Different sources have reported different release dates for this entry-level $99 Nexus 7, but most agree Google will unveil it sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.
I know I wouldn't want to own this device, but I think it could be a great move for Google if it gets Android tablets into more peoples' hands. The overall quality of Android apps optimized for tablets is lacking, and a growing user base would only encourage developers to update their apps.

The 2015 Cadillac Escalade is almost here, and General Motors has revealed a teaser photo of the full-size luxury SUV's headlight before it is officially unveiled on October 7 in New York City. The teaser photo shows a dramatic new headlight design that features LEDs and looks to follow along with Cadillac's angular design language as seen on the ATS and CTS sedans.
We've already spied the 2015 Cadillac Escalade inside and out, and the redesign looks to give the new Cadillac a more modern but still aggressive look, with an imposing front grille and chrome accents throughout. Along with the new headlights up front, it's possible that the taillights will adopt a full-length, dramatic design imitating the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon.
On the inside, the 2015 Cadillac Escalade's interior will make a huge leap over the last generation, becoming the last Cadillac model to feature the brand's CUE infotainment interface. The center stack is similar to other Cadillac models, with piano black trim, touch-capacitive controls, and aluminum accents, and the instrument cluster will become a full LED display screen with configurable gauges.
The 2015 Cadillac Escalade will continue to be offered in regular- and long-wheelbase ESV models, with a choice of 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter V-8 engines, like in the new 2015 Chevrolet and GMC full-size SUVs. Rear- or four-wheel-drive will be available.
Cadillac is also collaborating with indie rock photographer Autumn de Wilde for the release of the 2015 Escalade. To show the Escalade's design process in a more artistic light, de Wilde produced a series of portraits and a short film showing behind-the-scenes of the car's development. This collection will be shown along with the new vehicle at the official reveal.
The 2015 Cadillac Escalade will go on sale by spring 2014, and look for full information about the new model to be released October 7.

There are many good and bad news every day when it comes to nature and ocean conservation and one of the best news of the year for me is the newly added species of sharks and manta rays on the CITES list of endangered species but I must say that the "Ocean Cleanup" project is by far the one which gives me the biggest thrill of all of them simply because I am aware of the huge problem we are facing with omnipresent plastic and garbage pollution and should this project materialize it could make a well needed difference to worldwide plastic pollution.
Some of you may or not have heard of the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" also called "Pacific Trash Vortex". It is a gyre of marine debris mainly made of pelagic plastic floating in the seawater; its size is estimated between 700,000 square kilometers (270,000 sq mi) to 15,000,000 square kilometers (5,800,000 sq mi). The source of the debris is mainly land-based but also ocean based (from ships). There are 5 gyres in the world.
The result is dramatic for the marine life, plastic ending up in the digestive system of many birds, turtles (turtles mistake floating plastic bags for jelly fish and end up eating whole plastic bags) and other sea organisms but also on us as floating debris absorb organic pollutants that end up in fish and therefore in our alimentation.
The "Ocean Cleanup" project is led by Boyan Slat an Aerospace Engineering student at the Delft University of Technology who also happens to be a very inspired diver. As the name clearly states, his project is to clean up the ocean garbage patch. In 2012, The Ocean Cleanup Array has been awarded Best Technical Design at the Delft University of Technology, and came second at the iSea Clash of the Concepts sustainable innovation award by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment. The project which is still in study and testing phase is quite promising. The idea is to use huge floating booms like telescopic arms instead of nets to funnel all the plastic debris floating in the ocean. One of the great points of the project is to use the surface currents to help funnel the debris avoiding the by-catches as the booms would divert the debris and not catch them. Beyond the sustainability aspect of the project, from a business perspective what is interesting is that it could potentially be financially profitable.
A very good example of plastic recycling has been made by "Method" a producer of cleaning products who marketed a dish soap whose container is made partly of recycled ocean plastic[1].
According to Boyan Slats calculations the cleanup method he is working on could potentially clean up the garbage patches in 5 years which would be a miracle considering the situation. For the moment, we cannot be sure of the results as Boyan Slats mentions on his website, they are at about 1/4th of completing their feasibility study so the whole study is far from over.
I truly hope that Boyan Slats project will materialize and will successfully help overcome the garbage patches in the ocean however, should the project not materialize yet, I must say that it is great to see that the young generations are aware of the current global situation and are actively involved in finding solutions. Without mentioning the fact that once more, divers help and contribute to valuable ocean conservation projects maybe because diving makes them ever so aware of the underwater invaluable beauty and biodiversity but also of the daunting presence of plastic and garbage in the oceans.
Cleaning the ocean would be a virtually miraculous step forward and would put us back onto the planet's sustainability path; not just for us humans but for all the others forms of life on this planet, however, this will not tackle the source of the problem. For this we need a deep structural change to our consumption habits and work to implement more biodegradable solutions again. This will require global cooperation going from industrialists to consumers and passing by political and legal authorities. Every one of us is concerned directly or indirectly by nature and ocean pollution, either as a food toxicity issue or as a simple financial or health issue so every one of us has or will have to act or contribute to conservation initiatives.
Last but not least, I will add a petition that pleads to ban non-biodegradable packaging for food, should you want to contribute in a couple of clicks:

Creek," successfully brought children's literature to film.
By Valerie J. Nelson, Los Angeles Times
June 10, 2010
Robert B. Radnitz, an English teacher turned movie producer who made
some of Hollywood's more distinguished family fare, including "Sounder"
and "Island of the Blue Dolphins," has died. He was 85.
Radnitz died Sunday at his Malibu home from complications of a stroke he
had years ago, said his wife, Pearl.
With the release of his first film in 1959 - the boy-and-his-dog tale "A
Dog of Flanders" - Radnitz started to develop a reputation as a maker of
high-quality movies for children and their parents.
He went on to produce nearly a dozen feature films, often mining
children's literature to make such movies as "Misty" (1961), based on
the Marguerite Henry classic "Misty of Chincoteague," and "Island of the
Blue Dolphins" (1964), which shared its name with the Newbery
Award-winning book by Scott O'Dell.
"Island" was "the very model of what children's pictures ought to be but
seldom are," Time magazine said in its 1964 review of the film. "Radnitz
& Co. have provided sentiment without sentimentality and a moral without
a lecture."
The filmmaker had a simple explanation for his approach to making movies
aimed at children: "If you don't talk down to them, you'd be surprised
how high they can reach," Radnitz told The Times in 1991.
His movies often featured a young person who must overcome adversity and
were filmed inexpensively on location, using non-actors in secondary
roles and indigenous music, Radnitz later said.
Nominated for an Academy Award for best picture, "Sounder" was his most
acclaimed film. Based on William Armstrong's best-selling book about a
black sharecropping family in the Depression-era South, it starred
Cicely Tyson and Paul Winfield.
"Sounder" was "his ego trip," Radnitz recalled in a 1973 interview,
"because everybody told me not to make it," and nobody thought it would
find an audience.
"It was the first film that broke the mold of blaxploitation," he told
The Times in 1996.
When Times critic Charles Champlin named "Sounder" one of the top films
of 1972, he called it "beautifully acted, honest, angering and
By 1973, The Times had proclaimed Radnitz "the only successful American
maker of children's films outside the gates of Walt Disney films."
Robert Bonoff Radnitz was born Aug. 9, 1924, in Great Neck, N.Y., the
only child of Fred and Lilyn Radnitz. His mother's family, the Bonoffs,
started a laundry business that his father ended up running.
Raised on Long Island, Radnitz was an asthmatic child who regularly
indulged in Saturday movie binges in New York City. Filmmaker Stanley
Kubrick said Radnitz was "the only person who has seen more old movies
than I have," People magazine reported in 1976.
At the University of Virginia, Radnitz studied English and drama. After
earning his degree, he stayed to teach English literature.
Eventually, Radnitz apprenticed with influential theatrical director
Harold Clurman, according to his family, then produced two Broadway
plays, "The Frogs of Spring" and "The Young and the Beautiful," between
1953 and 1955.
After he came to Hollywood, he became a script consultant at 20th
Century Fox, which financed his first feature.
By 1970, he had entered into a partnership with toy maker Mattel to
produce family films, releasing "Sounder" and the Appalachian drama
"Where the Lilies Bloom" (1974), among other movies.
His movies were "marked by a happy lack of condescension," Time magazine
pointed out in 1969 while writing about "My Side of the Mountain," his
film about a Canadian boy who runs away to nature.
The producer's final feature film was "Cross Creek," a 1983 drama that
unfolds on a Florida bayou. It was nominated for four Academy Awards.
A devoted tennis player, Radnitz almost always wore his tennis whites,
even to business appointments.
Soon after moving here, he bought his beachfront home in Malibu. Every
morning at 6 a.m., Radnitz swam naked in the ocean "rain or shine," he
told The Times in 1973.
The swims continued until he had a stroke in 1996, which also ended his
Until then, he had been "a robust, hale and hearty type of guy," said
his friend, Keith Robinson, "always in charge and a great storyteller."
When asked why the license plate on his Mercedes-Benz convertible said
"CALM," Radnitz would invariably reply, "It is a state I hope one day to
Pearl, his wife of 23 years, is his only survivor.
RADNITZ, Robert Bonoff

Died: 6/6/2010, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

This, this, this, this one of them ones
Yeah, Tech N9ne!
Turn me up a little bit more, Ben, so I can rock this the right way, brother
If you got 20/20 vision
You can see Nina handling this music with precision
If not, then it's fine with me
Just know this movement is vivid enough for the blind to see, Yates
[Verse 1 - Tech N9ne]
How in the hell can you miss me
When I'm counting my mil' making hist'ry
Trip the splits be that 50/50
So we rip the script swiftly and zip through chips quickly
When the trash, mail and pizza man see me
They get a fever and cheesy when they see the man Neezy
I'm easily beast and my hand is in my belt
What? I'm independent and I'm feeling myself
A flunk I won't be
I bumps the trunks see
The ladies pop the monkey and drop the donkey
They want to flaunt me
My songs be funky
Steady getting that cheddar forever
But some people acting like they don't see
[Hook - B.o.B]
I'm top dog, something like a CEO
I'm calling shots, call it Don Julio
But they don't really see me though
But they don't really see me though
All night, life like a video
Prime time, something like a Super Bowl
But they don't really see me though
[Verse 2 - Wiz Khalifa]
With contact lenses say he don't smoke
I'm rolling up and let the contact get him
He even choked
My approach was to never to be broke
Kept my real niggas close
Now the player turned to coach
I hear people saying why so many changes?
Why so many watches? Why so many chains?
I'm mixing Kush with all these different strains
Riding in my Porsche listening to Purple Rain
So much knowledge I came up on, you just a Hollywood insider
The inside of my crib look like a gym
Speaking of gym, I'm in the game, you're just a bench rider
You ride the bench that mean you ain't playing
You understand, hella fans,
Bunch of hands, hundred grands that's the plan
Wizzle Man!
[Verse 3 - Tech N9ne]
I'm truly blessed
I do request for all of you people to listen
I do see checks and movie sets
And never been a stranger to vixens
Pick up the pen, its in my gut to win
I got a motive and I'm in it with a mission
You know what I'mma get it when I dip into it
I've been through it, I've been a fighter with a vision
You can cover your eye, brother but why?
Cause your lady just discovered that my
Big rubber defies your lover blubber
So you utter replies with a tougher disguise
Cause my payday just caught the nose of your lady
I'm at the beginning of my hay-day
Y'all better Wrekonize like ?Mayday!
I don't know why jokers just won't let their eyes notice
Deep in my vocals they keep yelling that I'm doper
And I choke ya if you lift the Nine's flow so
So by jokes you know couldn't see me with bi-focals

Priest... monsignor... bishop... archbishop... cardinal... pope.

Please note: I wrote this guide using Premiere Pro CS4 but you can follow this guide with any version of Premiere as early as Pro 1.0
1) Put on any video track of your choice the clip that you wish to mask.
2) Now, go to "File" > "New" > "Title". Give the title the name you wish (for example Mask1) - if you are using PPCS4, mind the AR and the fps when making it.
3) In the Title creation window, choose the Pen Tool (Shortcut P on your keyboard) from the title tools.
4) Now, draw the mask. There is a very good guide for how to use the pen tool on the org, and you can find the pdf of it here (props for making the pen tool guide go to DriftRoot).
The only thing I'd like to point out is that, AFAIK, it's not possible to zoom into the title preview (but please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not sure about it) so since you can just go up to 100% preview, in order to have a better zoom and hence a more precise mask, I suggest you to try to work with the Windows Magnifier and see if it's any better.
5) Once the mask is drawn just right click on it and go to "Graphic Type" > "Filled Bezier". The masked area will now be filled.
6) Close the title creation window. In the project panel you'll now have the just made title. Drag it on a video track that is above the track that you want to mask (so if your clip is on track 1, drag the title on track 2 or higher).
7) What we gotta do now is actually masking the clip, so what we're going to do is choosing from the effects the "Keying" > "Track Matte Key" one and applying it onto the clip that we wanna mask (the one that would be on track 1, following the previous example). Set the effect like so:
Matte: select the video track that has the title in it (track 2 in the example's case);
Composite Using: Matte Alpha;
Reverse: NOT checked.
Once you have done this, the mask will be done. If you wish to apply some feather, just apply a blur effect on the title (I personally like the gaussian blur, but you're free to choose the one you prefer, really).
This would be it. I think that most of you already knew about it, but since it's not that immediate to think about, I decided to make this guide for those that didn't realize about this possibility.
Hope this helps.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix all the ingredients together in the bowl of a standing mixer with a paddle attachment. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Divide batter between the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan a few minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Place 1 cooled cake onto a cake platter. Ice just the top half with the Crusting Buttercream Icing. Place the second cake on top. Lightly ice the sides and top of cake. Gently place your hands on top of the iced cake and press down softly. Doing this helps to mold the cake to the pressure of when the fondant goes onto the cake. It will deter the cake from getting a visible ring that will show through when fondant covers the cake.
After the fondant has sat in the fridge it will be hard. When ready to use, place in the microwave for a few seconds, maybe 10 seconds at a time, as to soften but not melt. Once it's a little softer it will be ready to work with. Start kneading away on a powdered sugar covered surface just to wake it up a little.
Flour the surface and the rolling pin with powdered sugar. Roll the fondant to a thickness of about 1/4-inch. Roll the fondant around the rolling pin to transfer it to the top of the cake. Use your fingers to position the fondant gently on top of the cake, smooth out the top and sides. Cut away the excess with a knife, using the bottom of the cake as the guide. With the extra fondant, cut out designs either by hand or using a cookie cutter. Place the designs onto the cake. Use a dab of water to act as the glue to adhere the designs to cake.
A viewer, who may not be a professional cook, provided this recipe. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe and therefore, we cannot make representation as to the results.
Cream the shortening in the bowl of a standing mixer with a paddle attachment. Add the vanilla and butter flavorings. Add the powdered coffee creamer to the water and stir. Once the coffee creamer is dissolved, add this mixture to the shortening and mix on low until the water is incorporated into the shortening. Slowly add the powdered sugar into the shortening, mixing on low speed.
Cook's Note: Once the powdered sugar is added, you may need to add a little more water depending on what consistency you want your icing.
Combine the powdered sugar and salt and spread out on the counter to make a 12-inch circle.
Coat the inside of a large microwave-safe bowl with shortening. Place the marshmallows, flavorings, and water and/or colorings in the bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute (the marshmallows should be puffy). Stir the mixture with a rubber spatula and place back in the microwave for 30 second intervals, or until the marshmallows are melted and smooth when stirred. (While this mixture is in the microwave, coat your hands with shortening as the fondant is sticky and messy.)
Once the marshmallows are melted and smooth, transfer the contents of the bowl onto the powdered sugar. Start working the sugar into the melted mixture, kneading it like you would bread dough. Continue kneading until the mixture loses its stickiness; you may have to add more powdered sugar. You'll know when it's ready if the fondant forms into a ball. Coat the fondant ball well with shortening and wrap in plastic wrap. Place the fondant in refrigerator for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight.

Pendant Necklaces You Can Wear With Anything--We Promise!
No wonder paparazzi favourites like Reese Witherspoon, Rihanna, and more have been photographed in these adornments, which serve to amp up laid-back separates or enhance an already fashion-forward look. From bold, statement-making pieces to petite but equally arresting trinkets, click through our slideshow to see how celebrities are wearing this trend, and shop our edit of precious pendants too!
The actress elevates a striped shirt with Kelly Wearstler's quartz Nadya Pendant Necklace ($495).
A few layered gold pendants liven up Delevingne's tough t-shirt and leather jacket combo. (Hers is Burberry Prorsum's Quilted Leather Biker Jacket ($3595), by the way.)
A Chanel medallion over a Givenchy tunic, paired with Chanel's Vintage Paris Logo White Sunglasses ($1500) and a backwards baseball hat, channels a touch of '90s hip-hop appeal.
A dainty stone pendant, such as Chung's Samantha Wills Romancing The Stone Necklace ($133, available in Turquoise) in Champagne, adds an artisanal element to her Minkpink Darkness Playsuit ($71).
Klum amps up breezy summer staples, like her Holmes & Yang Printed Cami ($395) and Vince Camuto Coco Tote ($129) in Fiery Coral Alce, with a dazzling geometric bauble.
Birch slips on a vintage dress and H&M blazer with a feather pendant by Goro (the singer purchased the necklace in Tokyo, but Ariel Gordon's Jewellery Feather Pendant Necklace ($495) is a similar alternative).
Welch adds feminine charm to her vintage Gucci blazer and crisp button-down with a delicate pendant piece.
Wilde's punches up her MaxMara dress with a bauble worthy of Liberace's mental, House of Lavande's 1970's Castlecliff Pendant Necklace ($848).
Hathaway's off-duty uniform--Eugenia Kim's Gary Cap ($209) and a Madewell denim dress--is the perfect showcase for a sparkling gold bauble.
Allow the dramatic design of Lionette NY's Gizelle Necklace ($386) in Topaz to take center stage against a little black dress.
Play up the western vibe of Vanessa Mooney's Down The Road Necklace ($66) in Silver by wearing it over a denim shirt.
Pamela Love's Mini Arrowhead Necklace ($185) in Antique Silver is another testament to the designer's cool, gothic aesthetic.
Need Supply Co.'s Rituals Necklace ($32) adds instant graphic glamour thanks to its geometric shape.
Monserat De Lucca's Bird & Nest Necklace ($71) will make a playful yet sophisticated addition to your jewellery repertoire.
Maison Martin Margiela's Silver and Glass Necklace ($525) possesses an earthy, mystical quality that's stunning indeed (in other words, be prepared for double takes!).
A little sliver of malachite makes for a high-impact accessory, we promise! Just slip Kelly Wearstler's Asymmetrical Necklace ($295) over a simple tee.
Dripping in crystals, Elizabeth Cole's Long Double Pendant Necklace ($418) is your shortcut to glamour paired with a silk tank and blazer.
We're sure girls like Sienna Miller or Kate Hudson would appreciate the bohemian appeal of Jade Jagger's Ruby Gold-Plated Feather Necklace ($349).
Mawi's Swarovski Crystal Pendant Necklace ($630) in Blue is delicate enough to pair with everyday outfits.
Not only does Lizzie Fortunato's Totem Pendant II Necklace ($395) lend a splash of colour to your outfit, the tassel closure means it's just as intriguing from the back.

Rut'theran Village is an outpost port for the night elf city of Darnassus, located at the very bottom of the great tree Teldrassil. There is a portal here that goes directly into Darnassus and several boat piers and flight paths. The Midsummer Fire Festival braziers are lit here.
BackgroundEditThis section concerns content exclusive to the Warcraft RPG, and thus unlikely to be canon.
Rut'theran's harbor lines the roots of the grand tree, and this humble but friendly village provides just a taste of the majestic locations held in Teldrassil's mighty branches. This is one of the primary breeding grounds of the hippogryphs, and eggs from all across Kalimdor arrive here for care. Inside Rut'theran is a shimmering portal that leads to Darnassus, far above.[1]
Jupiter and EuropaEdit
If you go into the building here and go upstairs to where the library is, up top will be a painting of Jupiter and Europa. It is currently unknown whether or not these celestial bodies actually exist in the Warcraft universe.[citation needed]
Questgivers Edit
- Daryn Lightwind - Return to Troyas, Starfall, The Borrower
- Erelas Ambersky - Favored of Elune?, Find Ranshalla, Moontouched Wildkin, Wildkin of Elune
- Nessa Shadowsong - The Bounty of Teldrassil
Profession (Tradeskill) Trainers Edit
- Androl Oakhand <Fisherman>
Merchants Edit
- Gwenna Firebrew <Drink Vendor>
- Nessa Shadowsong <Fishing Supplies>
- Vesprystus <Hippogryph Master>
Travel Connections Edit
Teleporter Edit
Flight Paths Edit
Boat Edit
- Elune's Blessing: Valaar's Berth, Azuremyst Isle (western pier)
- The Bravery: Stormwind Harbor, Elwynn Forest (southern pier)
In CataclysmEditThis section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.
In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, Rut'theran Village was separated from the trunk of Teldrassil and slid several hundred yards farther south into the Veiled Sea. Most of the structures that were destroyed during the shift have been rebuilt, while others—such as the boardwalk that housed the original flightmaster—remain in ruin. In the wake of the destruction of Auberdine, the village has expanded its capacity as a travel hub, now complete with three docks arranged in a T shape, going to Valaar's Berth (west), Stormwind Harbor (south), and a stationary vessel (east).
The flightmaster has been relocated immediately east of the portal to Darnassus, and now offers a flight to Lor'danel (in lieu of Auberdine) as well.
