  • List of Soul characters

    A comprehensive list of characters from the Soul series of fighting games produced by Namco.

    Overall conception and development

    The Soul series is a weapon-based fighting game franchise developed by Namco Bandai's Project Soul division and consists of eight games: Soul Edge, Soulcalibur, Soulcalibur II, Soulcalibur III, Soulcalibur Legends, Soulcalibur IV, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny and Soulcalibur V. Set in the 16th century, the plot of the games revolve around Soul Edge, a cursed sword able to possess its wielder and devour souls. Its sprit is called Inferno, and his avatar/host is called Nightmare. Soul Calibur, a holy sword and Soul Edge's antithesis, also has a spirit called Elysium.

    Characters

    With each character, their weapon was decided upon before other aspects were. The design was then built to revolve around it, starting with gender, then physical measurements, and lastly background details. Once established, appearance and movement were fleshed out by the team's concept artist and rendered as a 3D model by a design team that worked solely on the character. The completed model was then animated by a motion capture artist working directly with the team. During this phase the team additionally worked with the story creators, refining the character's own role in the plot as needed throughout development. In the course of the series, two characters have been an exception to the process: Johan Druer, a berserker exclusive to the Soulcalibur Japanese player's guide, and Necrid, a character co-produced with Todd McFarlane that appears in Soulcalibur II.

    Maxi (Canadian supermarket)

    Maxi is a discount grocery retailer based in Quebec, Canada. It is a subsidiary of Loblaw Companies and the largest of Loblaws' Quebec supermarket chains. Maxi is the Quebec equivalent of No Frills, a chain of franchised discount grocery stores outside Quebec, except that Maxi stores are company owned. Over 7,000 people are employed at the Maxi and Maxi & Cie stores across Quebec.

    History

    Founded in 1984 by Provigo, the first two Maxi grocery stores opened in St. Leonard and Longueuil. Both locations had taken vacated spaces that were previously occupied by Kmart stores and both locations are still in operation today (though they have both expanded throughout the years to the point that the Longueuil outlet is now a Maxi & Cie hypermarket).

    Throughout the 1980s and early 90s, Maxi used a cartoonish elephant as the mascot of its flyers, in a move similar to that of its sister chain Héritage which used a kangaroo. In 1996, Maxi enjoyed so much success that the chain stopped producing flyers as the company felt such practice had become unnecessary. This turned out to be a miscalculation and Maxi eventually started making flyers again.

    Ace (Ian Van Dahl album)

    Ace is the debut studio album by the Belgian dance music act known as Ian Van Dahl, released in 2002. The album contains four songs that reached the top 20 of the UK singles chart: "Will I?" (#5); "Reason" (#8); "Try" (#15); and their biggest hit single, "Castles in the Sky", which reached #3 and spent seven weeks in the top 10 in the summer of 2001. This last song also reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S., where it peaked at #91. The album itself peaked at #7 in the UK, where it achieved Gold status after only four weeks. The album title was inspired by taking the first letters of the names of each member of the act; Annemie, Christophe and Eric.

  • Ace Motor Corporation

    Ace Motor Corporation was a motorcycle manufacturer in operation continuously in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania between 1919 and 1924 and intermittently afterward until 1927. Essentially only one model of the large luxury four-cylinder motorcycle, with slight variations, was made from first to last.

    Origin

    Having sold Henderson Motorcycle to Ignaz Schwinn's Excelsior Motor Manufacturing & Supply Company, founder William G. Henderson continued to work there until 1919, when differences of opinion regarding the design direction of Henderson motorcycles led to his resignation from Excelsior.

    In the fall of 1919, with the support of Max M. Sladkin of Haverford Cycle Co., Henderson started the Ace Motor Corporation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Ace motorcycle resembled the Henderson in general form, being a longitudinal four-cylinder motorcycle with chain drive, but Henderson had to be careful not to infringe any trademarks or patents that would have been owned by Excelsior at the time. Production began in 1920.

    Tide (brand)

    Tide (Alo, Vizir or Ace in some countries) is the brand-name of a laundry detergent manufactured by Procter & Gamble, first introduced in 1946.

    Background

    The household chore of doing the laundry began to change with the introduction of washing powders in the 1880s. These new laundry products originally were simply pulverized soap. New cleaning-product marketing successes, such as the 1890s introduction of the N. K. Fairbank Company's Gold Dust Washing Powder (which used a breakthrough hydrogenation process in its formulation), and Hudson's heavily advertised product, Rinso, proved that there was a ready market for better cleaning agents. Henkel & Cie's "self-activating" (or self bleaching) cleaner, Persil; (introduced in 1907); the early synthetic detergent, BASF's Fewa (introduced in 1932); and Procter & Gamble's 1933 totally synthetic creation, Dreft, (marketed for use on infant-wear)all indicated significant advances in the laundry cleaning product market.

    The detergent business was further revolutionized with the discovery of the alkylbenzene sulfonates, which, when combined with the use of chemical "builders", made machine washing with hard water possible. This presented Procter and Gamble with the opportunity to create a product such as Tide.

    Hooray For Me

    by: Mxs

    I can see my teenage father standing straight on a
    desolate corner,
    in the shadow of tentacled towers by the red light of
    America,
    I imagine how his mother felt when she heard that her
    husband was dying,
    and that underground heroes of the tarmac
    shooting smack were blowing up worlds
    and Damned out loud,
    he, can you tell me how does it feel?
    yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second,
    doing anything that you don't have to?
    well that's what I'm accustomed to so hooray for me
    when I slept with stony faces on the riverbank,
    my angeldevil reveller shook me desperately in dying,
    I don't exactly want to apologize for anything, and now
    we're all mad and tangled in secret rooms with roman
    candles,
    on an endless graveyard train
    yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second, doing
    anything just 'cuz you want to?
    well, that's just what I do so hooray for me
    yeah, I was dreaming through the "howzlife", yawning,
    car black, when she told me "mad and meaningless as
    ever..",
    and a song came on my radio like a cemetery rhyme,
    for a million crying corpses in their tragedy of
    respectable existence
    oh, yeah, I'm not respectable, and never sensible,
    I've been incredible so damned irascible
