Michigan Theater (Ann Arbor, Michigan)

The Michigan Theater is a movie palace in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States, near the Central Campus of the University of Michigan. It shows independent films and stage productions, and hosts musical concerts.

Designed by Detroit-based architect Maurice Finkel and built in 1927, the historic auditorium seats 1,610 and features the theater's original 1927 Barton Theatre Pipe Organ, orchestra pit, stage, and elaborate architectural details. It was built for and owned by Angelo Poulos and his heirs and was leased until 1978 to the Butterfield Theatres chain, who managed it along with Butterfield's nearby State Theater. Both theaters are now owned and managed by the non-profit Michigan Theater Foundation.

History
The Michigan Theater opened on January 5, 1928, and was at the time the finest theater in Ann Arbor. The theater not only showed movies, but also hosted vaudeville acts, live concerts, and touring stage plays. Over the years, Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, Paul Robeson, and Ethel Barrymore all appeared at the theater.

During a renovation in 1956, many of the original ornate designs were destroyed. After a period of low attendance, the theater was threatened with demolition when its 50-year lease to Butterfield Theatres ran out in 1978, but members of the community and local organists helped raise funds to save and renovate the theater, returning it to its original design. A second screen, the Screening Room, with a state-of-the-art sound system, seating for 200, and the ability to project films digitally, was added in 1999.

The Michigan Theater is the current home of the annual Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Ann Arbor Symphony, and the Ann Arbor Concert Band. The theater has been named the 2006 Outstanding Historic Theatre by the League of Historic American Theaters. The theater also hosts a series of children's stage productions entitled "Not Just For Kids" and a concert series entitled "The Legends of Rock & Roll."

Barton Organ
The Barton theatre pipe organ, catalogued as Opus 245, was built for the Michigan Theater and installed in November 1927, shortly before the theater was opened on January 5, 1928. Of some 7,000 theatre organs collectively built by many companies between the mid-1910s and the early 1930s, the Michigan Barton is one of only about 45 remaining in their original locations. It has three manuals (keyboards) and thirteen separate ranks of pipes, while other area Barton organs of the time have or had ten ranks of pipes. The instrument also has various tuned and untuned percussions and a standard “toy counter” of special effects to aid in film accompaniments. The Barton deluxe/“circus wagon”-style console is situated on a functioning Barton four-poster lift.

The nearly-forgotten Barton organ had fallen into disuse in the 1950s and suffered water damage in the early 1960s. It was repaired and began receiving regular use in the early 1970s, and factored significantly in raising strong community support to save the historic theatre when the original lease expired in 1978. In regular use since that time, the marginally-adequate original blower failed in early 2014 and was rebuilt with a larger custom motor and new impellers. The instrument was completely rebuilt and restored to like-new mechanical and tonal condition by Renaissance Pipe Organs of Ann Arbor between 2018 and 2020, with the console and relay having been updated to reliable solid-state in 2014. The instrument is professionally maintained, and is played regularly by staff organists prior to film screenings and for silent films, making it one of the most-heard theater organs in the country.

Exterior
The Michigan Theater Building is a large, two-story block building, consisting of the Michigan Theater itself and seven retail stores fronting the street, as well as offices above. The building's exterior is clad with brown brick with cement and terra cotta trim. The main section of the facade, three bays wide, contains the entrance to the theater and two flanking stores. This section is Lombard Romanesque in style. The remaining five storefronts are all to one side of the main section, and are considerably plainer. In the plainer section are two slightly recessed storefronts that flank the stair access to the second floor. In each section, the roofline parapet contains the name of the building.

The Romanesque theater entrance contains cream terra cotta columns, arches, and other Romanesque elements on the second floor; these elements on the first floor were lost to the 1956 remodeling. Decorative aprons above the second-floor arcade sections contain green and blue terra cotta, and additional decoration is within the arches.

Lobby
The inner lobby still retains original details, including a barrel-vaulted ceiling, Romanesque columns and arch decorations, wood paneling, and wrought-iron balcony and staircase railings.

Auditorium
The main auditorium, seating 1,610, is used for film screenings and live events. The auditorium contains some of the original detail.

Brian Byrne

Brian Byrne (born January 13, 1975) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. He was the second vocalist for the band I Mother Earth.

Biography
Brian joined his first band in Corner Brook in 1988, a hair-metal band called Pandemonium. The band also featured John Kennedy, Rick Waterman, Todd Cook, and the late Kris Waterman, who selected the 13-year-old Byrne as the lead singer for the band.

Byrne lived in Steady Brook and Toronto in the early 1990s, where he worked at different times as cook, dishwasher, bartender, night cleaner, office worker, ski instructor, and rock climbing instructor. He fronted bands such as Mess and Klaven (the latter with Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace) before eventually joining rock band I Mother Earth in 1997. He recorded two albums with them, Blue Green Orange (1999) and The Quicksilver Meat Dream (2003).

His solo debut, Tuesdays, Thursdays and if it Rains, was released on April 11, 2006. In support of the album he toured Canada, playing both acoustic solo sets and with a full backing band. In November 2006, Byrne opened for INXS on their Canadian dates.

Byrne appeared in an Ontario Travel tourism television commercial that debuted in March 2007; he sings the song "There's No Place Like This" to images of people in Ontario enjoying themselves across the province.

Byrne released his second solo album, Tailor Made, on September 4, 2007. His touring band consisted of Bob Egan (Blue Rodeo, Wilco), Christian Tanna (I Mother Earth), Gerry Finn (David Usher) and Justin Mahoney.

In September 2007 the band played a CCMA showcase in Regina, Saskatchewan, and later toured Eastern Canada, doing shows with The Divorcees and as the supporting act for Corb Lund.

Byrne is currently on Blacktop Records with a three-song EP titled Boots and Blood, a preview for his third full-length solo album.

As of May 2011, Brian is currently a tattoo artist at Bonded Ink in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. He later relocated to Peterborough, Ont.

On January 24, 2012, I Mother Earth announced an end to its hiatus. The group is producing new music with Byrne again on lead vocals. They have played a number of live shows at venues across Canada. Byrne also continues to perform as a solo act.

With his wife Tara, in 2012, founded OCD Collective to raise money for families to cover autism and mental health needs.

In 2015, Byrne began work as a radio announcer with Live 105, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

In early 2016, Byrne announced he was trying out to become Stone Temple Pilots' new vocalist.

 * Yes, doesn't specify which mistress Anne and Jane plotted to banish. in 1535, it would have been Margaret Sheltonjeanne (talk) 11:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Alison Weir states in her book that the Dean of Lichfield was the son of George and Jane Boleynjeanne (talk) 11:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Jeanne, do you have a reference for Weir, please add it. For the moment, I've removed it. I cannot see why the Boleyn estates would have gone to Mary and her children if there was a direct male heir and Fox is the main authority on Jane. However, there is always the possibility and I'd be very interested to know what Weir says.

Regarding the 'unnamed mistress' mentioned in the article, she is referred to as such because we don't know her name, Chapuys referred to her as 'the very handsome young lady'. This was in 1534, and so I've amended the year. If it had been 1535, it would probably have been Margaret/Mary Shelton. Boleyn (talk) 14:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I've found and added the Weir reference. It's mentioned in passing that he was her son, although neither George Boleyn nor Jane Boleyn were major parts of this work, and so I'm inclined to dismiss it as both seventeen years old (and so lacking the information from later research) and an area Weir won't have looked extensively into. However, as it's a matter of ebate, I've tried to reflect that in how I've wrtten the sentence. Please change it if you think it isn't made clear. Boleyn (talk) 16:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Possible portrait of Lady Jane Parker by Hans Holbein
Wondering why this "possible" portrait remains linked to Jane Parker Boleyn when in its own description it states that art historian K T Parker ruled out the possibility that this was Jane Parker Boleyn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.42.34.160 (talk) 18:41, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Indeed! Jane was never known as "Lady Parker." That title would have been given to her brother's wife, Grace. If this portrait had been Jane it would say "Viscountess Rochford" or "Lady Boleyn." This is generally accepted as Sir Henry Parker's wife, Grace Newport. - Lady Meg (talk) 00:19, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Death
On page 227 of her book "Mary Boleyn 'The Great and Infamous Whore'", Alison Weir states that Jane Parker "...went to the block on 13 May 1542." Is there any new evidence for this that means the date should be changed here? I always thought that Katherine Howard and Jane Parker were executed together. --109.215.187.113 (Talk)11:43 6 September 2011 (UTC).
 * According to Amazon, this book has publication date of 6 Oct 2011.  How do you know what it says on page 227?  Are you the author or the publisher?--Toddy1 (talk) 12:35, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Missing "Why?"
The article rightly discusses why she might have testified against her husband. But there is no explanation or discussion of why she might have risked her neck to facilitate Catherine Howard's (actual or alleged) adultery. As a result, that part of the article reads a bit like a Stalinist account of a Stalinist show trial, in which the reader is expected not to question not-particularly believable accounts of why the State executed somebody. The evidence against her is reported as her name being mentioned in a love letter, but such letters are presumably easily forged by the powers that be when it suits them, so it's not particularly convincing given that her alleged behaviour seems crazy, unless perhaps motivated by something like an arguably rational desire to avenge herself on Henry for what he may have forced her to do to her husband, sister-in-law, and others. Are there any reliable sources that deal with any of these issues? And if not, shouldn't the article somehow mention that this is the case? Tlhslobus (talk) 05:06, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Another generation of Jane's ancestry
Margaret Beauchamp of Bletso (mother of Margaret Beaufort) married Oliver St John. They had a son, John (1426 - 1488), who married Alice Bradshaigh (b. 1426) in 1447. The couple, John and Alice, had a son, John St John (b. either 1450 or 1465). He, in turn, married Sybil Verch Morgan (b. 1462) in 1483. This couple had Alice St John (b. 1484 - d. December 1552), who married Baron Morley and is Jane's mother. I have edited this on the page, but can you please add it into her ancestry tree!

You see why Alice Bradshaigh cannot be Jane's grandmother - she'd be fifty eight (1484 - 1426 = 58) at the time of her daughter's (Alice!) birth. Thus, there's a generation the page has missed out and Alice St John, Baroness Morley, has to be the great-granddaughter of Alice Bradshaigh and her husband, John St John. 109.155.61.158 (talk) 00:23, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Role in husband's execution
This section is not correct. There is no evidence that Jane Boleyn gave evidence at either her husband's or her sister-in-law's trials; she is not mentioned in any of the court documents as appearing before the court, nor is she mentioned as doing so in contemporary reports. Her biographer, Julia Fox, states that she was questioned prior to the trials, and that evidence attributed to her was most likely obtained during that process.

Not "sister-in-law"
The King's wife's brother's wife is not the King's sister-in-law.

A person's sister-in-law is either their sibling's wife, or their wife's sibling.

Brain Drain (album)

Brain Drain is the eleventh studio album by the American punk rock band Ramones, released on May 23, 1989. It is the last Ramones release to feature bassist/songwriter/vocalist Dee Dee Ramone, the first to feature Marky Ramone since his initial firing from the band after 1983's Subterranean Jungle and the band's last studio album on Sire Records. It ends with their unlikely seasonal song "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)".

Background
In his 1998 autobiography, Dee Dee Ramone recalled: "It was tough recording the Brain Drain album because everyone took their shit out on me. I dreaded being around them. It drove me away—I didn't even end up playing on the album. Everybody in the band had problems; girlfriend problems, money problems, mental problems."

Johnny Ramone expressed similarly unfavorable sentiments in his 2012 posthumous autobiography, Commando, calling it one of his least favorite albums. He elaborated, "Bill Laswell's production is too dense; he had me record the guitars on five or six tracks. So the album took too much time, and there were too many Joey songs on it, which always took more time". However, he added that the album "has a couple of bright spots, like 'I Believe in Miracles' and 'Punishment Fits the Crime.'" He awarded both the Brain Drain album and its follow-up, Mondo Bizarro, a "C" letter grade.

For the first time on a Ramones album, drummer Marky Ramone participated in the songwriting, contributing lyrics to "All Screwed Up" and "Learn to Listen".

Songs
"Palisades Park" is a cover song, originally recorded by Freddy Cannon in 1962.

"Pet Sematary" was written for the Stephen King movie adaptation of the same name and was issued as a single, becoming one of the Ramones' biggest radio hits and a staple of their concerts during the 1990s. Two versions exist of the song: the original recording produced by Jean Beuvoir and Daniel Ray, which ended up on the album (and on most pressings of the single), and the 'Bill Laswell version', a completely different take. The Laswell version was released as a UK single in September 1989.

"Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" was originally released in November 1987 as the B-side of the single "I Wanna Live". It was later included in the 2004 film Christmas with the Kranks.

"Can't Get You Outta My Mind" dates back to the early 1980s, where it was first recorded during sessions for the Ramones' 1981 album Pleasant Dreams. That version remained unreleased until it featured as a bonus track on the 2002 reissue of Pleasant Dreams.

Reception
Brain Drain was originally intended to be a "comeback" album for the Ramones, following the belated success of "I Wanna Be Sedated"; however, despite some good reviews, the album failed to live up to commercial expectations, peaking at number 122 on the Billboard 200 chart. Nonetheless, the album's first single, "Pet Sematary", became the band's highest-charting hit in the US, peaking at number four on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Dee Dee appears as the bassist in both of the music videos for "Pet Sematary", while the videos for "I Believe In Miracles" and "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" feature his replacement, C.J. Ramone.

Robert Christgau stated: "Laswellization neither saves their souls for rock and roll nor turns them into a metal band. First side's basically Dee Dee, period-hopping from the pleasantly dreamy 'I Believe in Miracles' to the East Coast surf cover 'Palisades Park.' Second side's basically Joey, pushing the envelope on 'Ignorance Is Bliss,' going flat on 'Come Back, Baby.' For professionalism, not bad."

Cover versions
"I Believe in Miracles" was covered by Eddie Vedder and Zeke for the 2003 album We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to Ramones and is frequently covered by Pearl Jam at their shows.

"Pet Sematary" was performed live by German industrial metal band Rammstein (in conjunction with Clawfinger) and was released as a B-side to their single "Ich will" in 2001. Rammstein was joined onstage by Marky Ramone, C.J. Ramone and Jerry Only of the Misfits when performing the song in New York as a tribute to Joey Ramone, who had died three months prior. The song was later covered by psychobilly band the Creepshow as a bonus track for their second album, Run For Your Life, in 2008. It was also performed by the Plain White T's for the 2012 film Frankenweenie (Unleashed). The end credits of the 2019 version of the film Pet Sematary include a cover version of the title track by the American punk rock band Starcrawler. English rock band Creeper made an acoustic version of the song for their 2021 EP "Sounds from the Void".

"Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" was covered by Joey Ramone on his second posthumous album, ...Ya Know?, and by artists such as Smash Mouth (2005), the Smithereens (2007), Cheap Trick (2017), Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul (2017), Mattiel (2019), L.A. Guns (2019), and Lucinda Williams (2020).

Tales from the Public Domain

"Tales from the Public Domain" is the fourteenth episode of the thirteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 17, 2002. It is the third trilogy episode of the series, which had become annual since the twelfth season's "Simpsons Tall Tales", consisting of three self-contained segments that are based on historical stories. The first segment puts Homer Simpson in the role of Odysseus in the ancient Greek epic poem the Odyssey. The second segment tells the story of Joan of Arc, and the third and final segment lampoons William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet.

The episode was written by Andrew Kreisberg, Josh Lieb and Matt Warburton, and Mike B. Anderson served as the director. Show runner and executive producer Al Jean stated that the episode was "very fun for the writers" to do because it "allow[ed] them to parody great works of literature." On the other hand, Anderson stated that the episode was "much harder" to direct than others because, like with Treehouse of Horror episodes, the animators had to make as many character designs for one act as they would for one normal episode.

In its original American broadcast, the episode was seen by more than 4% of the population between ages 18 and 49. Following its release on DVD and Blu-ray the episode received mixed reviews from critics.

Plot
Homer is told that he has an overdue book from the library, which he checked out when Bart was a baby. He says that he had intended to read to Bart every day, but various things had gotten in his way. Before he returns it, he reads from the book, telling three stories.

D'oh, Brother Where Art Thou?
In this story, Homer is Odysseus, and delivers the King of Troy (Ned Flanders) a Trojan horse. He and his crew, including Apu, Lenny, Moe, Professor Frink and Carl, kill all of Troy's citizens and win. However, he refuses to sacrifice a sheep, angering the gods, Zeus (Mayor Quimby), Dionysus (Barney), and Poseidon (Captain Horatio McCallister). Dionysus tries to destroy Odysseus with a lightning bolt, but misses and instead destroys the island of Atlantis. Poseidon literally blows Odysseus and his crew to the Sirens (Patty and Selma) and visit Circe (Lindsey Naegle), who turns his crew into pigs, whom Odysseus eats. Circe orders Odysseus to go through Hades, crossing the River Styx (which has the Styx song "Lady" playing during the crossing), in order to go home so he can see Penelope (Marge) and Telemachus (Bart). When he arrives back to Ithaca, he spears all of the suitors (Krusty the Klown, Kirk Van Houten, Groundskeeper Willie, Mr. Burns, and Sideshow Mel) trying to please Penelope. Penelope decides to take him back, though he leaves to go to Moe's (even though Moe was killed and eaten by Odysseus earlier in the episode).

Hot Child in the City
Lisa is Joan of Arc, who leads the French against the English in the Hundred Years' War, which Homer implies was also called "Operation Speedy Resolution". Despite her family's concern, she joins the army, where she has new ideas about defeating the enemy. She meets the King of France (Milhouse). During a battle, the English capture Joan and put her on trial. She is accused of witchcraft, and sentenced to death. When Lisa claims that she was following God's will, Groundskeeper Willie reveals that he too was chosen by God, but to lead the English armies against the French (despite the fact that the Scottish were actually on the French side at the time). God's voice then excuses himself by revealing that the two were never supposed to meet.

As they read the end, Joan of Arc is being burnt at the stake, still waiting for God to save her. Shocked, Lisa asks Homer if she was really burned to death. Marge then interrupts, claiming that Joan of Arc was rescued by Sir Lancelot, and they get married and live in a spaceship. She then rips out the last page and eats it, remarking that it is easier to chew than the video of Bambi.

Do the Bard, Man
Bart is Prince Hamlet in this Simpsons version of William Shakespeare's classic. His uncle Claudius (Moe) marries Gertrude (Marge) after killing King Hamlet (Homer) by way of poison. The King returns to his son as a ghost, telling him of the betrayal and requesting that his death be avenged. Prince Hamlet (Bart), with the help of a professional actor (Krusty), puts on a play to make Claudius reveal himself to be guilty; however, Hamlet's reaction leads everyone to believe that he is crazy, so Ophelia (Lisa) decides to "out-crazy" him by prancing around and singing a stupid song, eventually jumping out the window and into the moat where she drowns. Because Hamlet knows what he did, Claudius attempts to kill him. Hamlet, aiming to kill Claudius, accidentally kills Polonius (Chief Wiggum). Polonius implores his son, Laertes (Ralph Wiggum), to avenge his death ("I like revenging!"). Set to duel Hamlet, Laertes accidentally kills himself taking his "practice stab", and Hamlet proceeds to murder Claudius. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Carl and Lenny), meanwhile, have been covered in poison and kill each other with a high five. Hamlet walks away to celebrate, but he slips on some blood and dies. Seeing a big mess she does not want to clean up, Gertrude commits suicide by hitting herself in the head with a mace. Bart thinks Hamlet was boring despite every character being murdered, but Homer tells him that the story became a great film called Ghostbusters, and all the Simpsons dance to the theme.

Production
"Tales from the Public Domain" was directed by Mike B. Anderson and written by Andrew Kreisberg, Josh Lieb and Matt Warburton. It originally aired on March 17, 2002 on the Fox network. "Tales from the Public Domain" is the third trilogy episode produced for the series, the other two being "Simpsons Bible Stories" from season 10, and "Simpsons Tall Tales" from season 12. Al Jean, the show runner for the episode, stated that trilogy episodes are "very fun for the writers" to do because it allows them to parody "great works of literature" and condense them into one act each.

Before writing the episode, the writers had decided that one of the segments would feature Lisa as the main character. According to Jean, the writers found it very difficult to find a historical story for Lisa because there are "so few [historical stories] that star women". They had the same problem when pitching stories for "Simpsons Tall Tales", in which they resorted to giving Lisa the role of "Connie Appleseed", a feminization of the historical figure Johnny Appleseed. The writers eventually settled on Saint Joan of Arc. According to the episode's supervising producer Don Payne, Scottish actor David Tennant watched "Do the Bard, Man" along with the cast of Hamlet during their first rehearsal. The segment has also been used in schools to teach students about Shakespeare's literary work.

In the DVD audio commentary for the episode, Anderson stated that trilogy episodes, like the Treehouse of Horror episodes, are "much harder" to direct than normal ones because the animators have to make as many designs for each act as they would for one normal episode. In the scene in which Joan gets torched by the English, Jean specifically ordered Anderson to "make sure she doesn't get burned", even though she was surrounded by flames. Jean explained in the commentary that, when Mike Scully was show runner for The Simpsons, Jean learned that "people do not wanna see changes in [the characters'] basic design" when the character gets hurt. He added that, because the viewer is "so attached to the characters, [the viewers] don't wanna see... especially Lisa, get hurt in any way." In order to make Homer's ghost in the third segment transparent, the animators had to "double expose" him; Homer's cels were first shot normally and then with a diminished opacity. In the first segment, clouds can be seen moving behind Zeus. The clouds were animated by airbrushing the cels and then moving them slowly in order to make it "look heavenly".

Cultural references
Each segment is based on and include references to historical stories; "D'oh Brother, Where Art Thou" takes its story from the ancient Greek epic poem the Odyssey, while taking its name from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? (also based on the Odyssey), "Hot Child in the City" is based on the life and legend of Saint Joan of Arc, a French peasant girl who, as a teenager, led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War. "Do the Bard, Man" spoofs William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet,

The song that the sirens are singing in the first segment is a parody on the 1978 disco song "Copacabana" by Barry Manilow. In order to return to Ithaca, Homer crosses the river Styx, in which the dead can be seen dancing "Lady" by the band Styx. In the second segment, the captain resembling Chief Wiggum is initially leading the French army. The soldier resembling Lou points out that the captain "keeps switching back from French and English." The scene satirizes films like Doctor Zhivago in which the Russians speak with a British accent even though they are in Russia. At the end of the act, Marge can be seen eating the page which shows Joan's demise and, say "Well, it's easier to chew than that Bambi video." The scene is a reference to a scene in the Disney film Bambi, in which Bambi's mother is shot to death by hunters.

In the beginning of the third act, Bart argues that modern writers like Steven Bochco, one of the creators of the television series NYPD Blue, are more talented than Shakespeare. Bochco saw the episode with his children and was so flattered that he sent The Simpsons staff some NYPD Blue merchandise. After the ghost of Homer has spoken to Bart, he leaves Bart's room by flying through the wall, causing slime to appear on the wall. This is a reference to Slimer, a ghost from the Ghostbusters franchise who has a similar function.

Release
In its original American broadcast on March 17, 2002, "Tales from the Public Domain", along with a new episode of Malcolm in the Middle, received more than a full rating point more than ABC's showing of the film Snow White: The Fairest of Them All, which received a 3.1 rating among adults between ages 18 and 49, according to Nielsen Media Research. This means that the episode was watched by more than 4% of the American population of said demographic at the time of its broadcast. On August 24, 2010, the episode was released as part of The Simpsons: The Complete Thirteenth Season on DVD and Blu-ray.

Following the release of The Simpsons thirteenth season, "Tales from the Public Domain" received mixed reviews from critics. Colin Jacobsson of DVD Movie Guide wrote that The Simpsons trilogy episodes "tend to be pretty spotty." Of the three stories, Jacobsson liked "Do the Bard, Man" the most, although he overall found the episode to be "mediocre". Adam Rayner of Obsessed with Film wrote that, even though the episode "has a few laughs", it "just feels half-hearted", and, writing for 411Mania, Ron Martin described the episode as being "just a lazy way out for the writers". Giving the episode a negative review, Nate Boss of Project:Blu wrote that the episode is "awful" and "kinda annoying", and that it "has been done so many times, it's hardly all that funny". On the other hand, Casey Broadwater of Blu-ray.com wrote that he is "particularly fond of [the episode]" and Rosie Fletcher of Total Film considered it to be a "stand-out" episode in the season. The Vulture column of New York magazine named it one of the ten best episodes of the show's later era.

Argentine Pass

Argentine Pass, elevation 13207 ft, is a high mountain pass that crosses the Continental Divide in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado in the United States. Argentine Pass is located on the crest of the Front Range along the boundary southwest of Georgetown and is the highest named vehicle-accessible pass in the state.

Some early references use other names for the pass. An 1867 description of the trip from Georgetown into the valley of the Snake River refers to it as Sanderson Pass. A lithograph caption from 1869 calls it the Snake River Pass.

Geography
Argentine Pass is 0.94 mi north of Argentine Peak and 0.95 mi southwest of Mount Edwards. To the east is the valley of Leavenworth Creek, a tributary that joins the South Clear Creek south of Georgetown. To the west is the Horseshoe Basin, a deep glacial cirque at the head of the Peru Creek, a tributary that joins the Snake River just north of Montezuma.

The continental divide at Argentine Pass serves as the boundary between Clear Creek and Summit counties.

The pass was formerly used by a toll road and stagecoach route. The trail on the west side of the pass is the remains of this road. To the east, the Argentine Central Railway ran from Georgetown to the pass from 1906 to 1918. The Jeep trail to the pass follows the grade of this abandoned railroad.

History
On September 14, 1864, former provisional territorial governor Robert Steele, along with James Huff and Robert Layton, discovered silver high on the slopes of McClellan Mountain, 1.85 mi (2.97 km) north of what we now call Argentine Pass. The mountains of this region are predominantly granite and gneiss, with veins containing silver-rich galena and blende (sphalerite), as well as iron pyrite, cupriferous pyrite (chalcopyrite), and some tetrahedrite. This was the first major discovery of silver ore in Colorado. They named the deposit the Belmont Lode (from the French for "beautiful mountain"), and the surrounding area came to be known as the Argentine mining district (from argentum, Latin for silver). The discovery led to the growth of Georgetown as an early center of the silver mining industry in Colorado, although development was slowed by a general ignorance of how to properly treat the ore, by the high cost of transportation from the mines, and by the climate at that altitude. Eventually, both sides of the pass were heavily mined, and the district was divided into the East Argentine and West Argentine Districts, joined by the pass. Many remains of mining activity remain visible today.

Work began on a toll road over Argentine Pass in 1869; the toll was typically one dollar for a team and wagon. In 1883, the road was purchased by Clear Creek County and Summit County as a public highway; in the same year, the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad reached Dillon, diverting most of the freight traffic from the toll road. The stagecoach fare from Georgetown to Chihuahua, 15 mi away by road over the pass, was $2.50 in 1885. Under county management, the road was never well maintained, and it gradually became impassable to teams and wagons. The town of Waldorf was established as a rest stop on the east side of the pass.

In 1875, the Hayden Survey reported the Argentine Pass wagon road to be the highest wagon road in Colorado; at the time, it was the primary route from Georgetown to the mining camps in the Blue River Valley (Breckenridge and Montezuma).

Colorado Telephone laid the first telephone line across Argentine Pass in 1899; this was a twisted-pair line resting directly on the ground, but it was replaced a year later with submarine cable. The cable, which carried six toll lines, required intensive maintenance and was entirely replaced three times before its use was abandoned in 1909. Conies (pikas) chewing on the line caused major damage, as did rock slides. From 1909 to 1916, twisted pair lines were used again, with annual replacement. Finally, in the summer of 1916, Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company installed a heavily engineered overhead line, hauling supplies by rail to Waldorf and then onward by pack train. This line, only 1.3 mi long, cost more than 7 mi of a comparable line in more forgiving territory; the cost was justified because it was the only telephone connection from Denver to Leadville and the western half of the state.

In mid 1909, the Central Colorado Power Co. began delivering power over the Shoshone Transmission Line from Glenwood Springs to Denver. This three-phase 90 kV line was split into two parallel lines as much as 1 mi apart for the 3 mi segment that crossed Argentine Pass from below Waldorf in the east to Argentine in the west (both are ghost towns today). As currently routed, this line crosses the Continental Divide 1.25 mi south of Argentine Pass, just south of Argentine Peak.

The Vidler Tunnel under Argentine Pass began with the Horseshoe tunnel, a silver mine. Reese Vidler purchased the mine in 1902 with a plan to extend it under the Continental Divide as a railroad tunnel. Tunneling progressed about 700 ft from the west portal and 5110 ft from the east portal before work stopped in 1911 (after several changes in ownership). In 1952, Herbert T. Young purchased the unfinished tunnel, along with water rights on the west side of the divide, intending to finish the tunnel as a water tunnel. The 1.4 mi tunnel was completed in late 1968, and is currently owned by the City of Golden. In 2007, major repairs were completed to the east portal and the mined-out area of the Flossie Vein. This water diversion project has a capacity of 31.5 cuft/s with an average annual diversion of around 650 acre-feet.

Climate
The peak wind speed recorded at the pass as of 1912 was 165 mph, at which point the measuring equipment was blown away. Temperatures as low as -59 F were recorded, along with snow drifts as deep as 30 ft and persisting until August. This climate data appears to have been taken by the builders of the Shoshone Transmission Line.

The road today
Vehicle travel is only possible on the Georgetown side of the pass during the summer months by a four-wheel drive vehicle with high-clearance. The trail on the Horseshoe Basin side is only accessible by foot or by mountain bike. The pass is the highest point on the American Discovery Trail.

Riddlewood, Pennsylvania

Riddlewood is a residential housing development in Middletown Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States, a suburb of Philadelphia. The name comes from famous racehorse owner Samuel D. Riddle, who owned the property before it was developed in the 1950s. The names of the streets in Riddlewood are named after Sam Riddle's horses as follows: Man o' War, War Admiral, War Trophy, Rampart East, Rampart West, Anamosa, and Soldier Song.

There is also a Riddlewood Drive and a Palmer's Lane. The land for Riddlewood was purchased from the estate of Sam Riddle by the Arters Brothers. They, along with architect George Hay, developed the 218 acre site. There are three types of houses in the neighborhood, ranch, split-level, and a few Cape Cods. Riddlewood is as much a sought after neighborhood today as it was 50 years ago. Sam Riddle regained some notoriety in recent years because of his mention in the popular film and book Seabiscuit.

Qiu Chuji

Qiu Chuji (10 February 1148– 21 August 1227), courtesy name Tongmi (通密), also known by his Taoist name Master Changchun, was a renowned Taoist master from late Southern Song/Jin dynasty and a famous disciple of Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen School. He is known for being invited by Genghis Khan to a personal meeting near the Hindu Kush, who also respected and honored him as an Immortal.

Qiu was one of the Seven True Daoists of the North. He was the founder of the Dragon Gate sect of Taoism attracting a following in the streams of traditions flowing from the sects of the disciples.

History
In 1219 Genghis Khan invited Changchun to visit him in a letter dated 15 May 1219 by present reckoning. Changchun left his home in Shandong in February 1220 and journeyed to Beijing. Learning that Genghis had gone West, he spent winter there. In February 1221, Changchun left, traversing modern-day eastern Mongolia to the camp of Genghis' youngest brother Otchigin near Lake Buyur in the upper Kerulen - today's Kherlen-Amur basin. From there he traveled southwestward up the Kerulen, crossing the Karakorum region in north-central Mongolia, and arrived at the Altai Mountains, probably passing near the present Uliastai. After traversing the Altai he visited Bishbalig, modern Ürümqi, and moved along the north side of the Tian Shan range to Lake Sutkol, today's Sairam, Almaliq (or Yining City), and the rich valley of the Ili.

From there, Changchun passed to Balasagun and Shu River, and across that river to Talas and the Tashkent region, and then over the Syr Darya to Samarkand, where he halted for some months. Finally, through the Iron Gates of Termit, over the Amu Darya, and by way of Balkh and northern Afghanistan, Changchun reached Genghis' camp near the Hindu Kush.

Changchun, had been invited to satisfy the interest of Genghis Khan in "the philosopher's stone" and the secret medicine of immortality. He explained the Taoist philosophy and the many ways to prolong life and was honest in saying there was no secret medicine of immortality. The two had 12 in-depth conversations. Genghis Khan honoured him with the title Spirit Immortal. Genghis also made Changchun in charge of all religious persons in the empire. Their conversations were recorded in the book Xuanfeng qinghui lu.

The Yenisei area had a community of weavers of ethnic Han origin. Similarly, Samarkand and Outer Mongolia both had artisans of Han origin, as observed by Changchun. After the Mongol conquest of Central Asia, foreigners were chosen as administrators. Co-management with Han and Khitans of gardens and fields in Samarqand was enacted as a requirement since Muslims were not allowed to manage without them.

Returning home, Changchun largely followed his outward route, with certain deviations, such as a visit to Hohhot. He was back in Beijing by the end of January 1224. From the narrative of his expedition, Travels to the West of Qiu Chang Chun written by his pupil Li Zhichang, we derive some of the most vivid pictures ever drawn of nature and man between the Great Wall of China and Kabul, between the Aral and Yellow Seas.

Of particular interest are the sketches of the Mongols and the people of Samarkand and its vicinity, the account of the land and products of Samarkand in the Ili Valley at or near Almalig-Kulja, and the description of various great mountain ranges, peaks and defiles, such as the Chinese Altay, the Tian Shan, Bogdo Uula, and the Iron Gates of Termit. There is, moreover, a noteworthy reference to a land apparently identical with the uppermost valley of the Yenisei.

After his return, Changchun lived in Beijing until his death on 23 July 1227. By order of Genghis Khan, some of the former imperial garden grounds were given to him for the foundation of a Taoist Monastery of the White Clouds that exists to this day.

Fiction
Qiu Chuji appears as a character in Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes, Return of the Condor Heroes, and the 2013 film An End to Killing. In Jin Yong's work he is very different from the real persona, described as a 'bullheaded priest' who gets into fights and contests with rivals, very contrary to what his religion preaches. His deeds shape much of the future of the 2 main male characters of the first story.

Qiu Chuji appears as a main character in Guo Yulong's 2018 film about Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng: Peerless Hero.

Estonian writer Arvo Valton wrote the novel Journey to the Other Side of Infinity (Tee lõpmatuse teise otsa, 1978) about Qiu Chuji's journey to meet Genghis Khan and their subsequent encounters.

Agrarian Party of Russia

The Agrarian Party of Russia (APR; Agrarnaya Partiya Rossii, Аграрная Партия России, АПР) was an agrarian political party in Russia. Founded in February 1993, it was among the earliest parties in the Russian Federation.

History
The Agrarian Party of Russia was founded on 26 February 1993, by the head of the Altai Republic, Mikhail Lapshin and Vasily Starodubtsev, governor of the Tula region and former member of the Soviet Union's State Committee on the State of Emergency. During their leadership (1993–2004), the party made an alliance with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) and the Fatherland – All Russia bloc. Until 2008, the party supported agrarian socialism and collectivism.

Founder Mikhail Lapshin led the party until 2004; its most recent leader was Vladimir Plotnikov. In the legislative elections in December 1993, the Agrarian Party obtained 37 seats in the Duma and won 8% of the popular vote. Between 1994 and 1996, one of its party members, Ivan Rybkin, was the speaker of the Russian Parliament. In the legislative elections in December 1995, the APR did not make it over the 5% threshold, obtaining only 3.78% of the votes. In the legislative elections on 7 December 2003, the party won 3.6% of the popular vote and three out of 450 seats in the parliament.

Agrarian Party member Nikolay Kharitonov ran as a presidential candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the 2004 Russian presidential election and won 13.7% of the votes, coming out second to Vladimir Putin. In the 1990s, party deputies were usually allies of the Communist Party in the State Duma and advocated for greater government support for the agricultural sector.

The party won 2.30% of the votes in the 2007 elections, did not break the 7% barrier, and thus, had no seats in the Duma.

The Agrarian Party supported the candidacy of Dmitry Medvedev in the 2008 Russian presidential election. It later merged with United Russia—the party that currently holds the most seats in the Duma.

Refounding
The year 2012 marked an especially notable period for the party as it was officially restored, and the registered leader Olga Bashmachnikova was elected Executive Director of the Agricultural Association on May 18. This led the party to take a new direction, moving away from the ideologies of agrarian socialism and collectivism towards centrism. The party has abandoned the Alliance with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), which was in the union since its foundation. The APR is currently united with the People's Front for Russia and the Russian Ecological Party "The Greens".

According to the results of the elections of 2012, 2013 and 2014, the party failed to win in regional and city parliaments.

On October 21, 2019, the Supreme Court of Russia, following a lawsuit by the Ministry of Justice, liquidated the party for insufficient participation in the elections for 7 years.

Talk:Shang Tsung

Untitled
In regards to the “Cultural Impact” section, I’m not sure I understand its relevance. The section seems to primarily serve as a description of a Comedy Central parody video, and lends nothing in terms of actual cultural impact - which is later elaborated on in the Reception section. Could a more experienced Wiki user explain or delete this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 40.138.114.112 (talk) 18:38, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

An anonymous user changed the height measurement from 5ft 5in (165cm) to 5ft 7in (170cm). I don't know if this is an actual correction, or subtle vandalism (I hope the former). Could someone who knows check this out? -Rholton 00:06, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think Shang Tsung is the staturesque 5ft 11in that he is listed at in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, so I put 5ft 5in originally but then changed it later. He definitely looks around the 5ft 6in range in MK2, if you ever examine the heights of the kombatants.

Shang Tsung Barely looks 5"6 in Mk2. He looks shorter than the average woman.

Can someone please check the edit by 68.80.94.16? He has recently made a number of other spurious edits, and since I don't know much about this topic, I can't fact-check it myself. --mdd4696 20:59, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Goro was never killed and Johnny Cage did in fact defeat Goro, as elaborated upon in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. Goroliath
 * Shaolin Monks isn't canon. SilentRage 13:26, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Can Shang Tsung transform into anyone in MK: Deadly Alliance?
 * nope, he didn't have the ability to change into anyone in Deadly Alliance, although he transforms into Kung Lao in the opening cinematic to sneak up on Liu KangThemasterofdisguise 18:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, why isnt "Mantis" listed as one of his fighting styles? He uses it in MK:Deception if you play as him (i know it was just because Crane was left out of the game, but he still had it)Themasterofdisguise 18:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Er, how do you play as him? I've got Deception and the most you can do is play against him in the Netherealm. EVula 18:27, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * oh yeah, im an idiot, forgot to mention *through the use of a third-party cheat device*. He has Snake and Mantis styles (no straightsword, as im pretty sure those animations were removed, similar to the absence of Crane)Themasterofdisguise 18:32, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * You can't play as him, unless you use some kind of 3rd party device. Either way, he definatly should not be listed to have an appearance in MK:D. ~ The Haunted Angel 18:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I'm not so sure about his Deception fighting style inclusion, since you can't access it through normal means. None of the cameo characters (Jax and Sonya, for example) list their styles, since they weren't really playable in the game. Perhaps put a mention of his MK:D cameo appearance in the trivia, and mention the fighting styles there, but certainly not in the infobox. EVula 18:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Shang Tsung Origin
It is hinted in the MK comics that Shang Tsung was on earth side but was secretly working for Shao Kahn to achieve his own selfish goals and that he was cursed by his Gods because his victories in the MK tournament ware been given to Shao Kahn so the gods cursed him to age rapidly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.192.67.39 (talk) 21:21, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Maxis. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Maxis~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:42, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Kingston–Throop Avenues station

The Kingston–Throop Avenues station is a local station on the IND Fulton Street Line of the New York City Subway. Located on Fulton Street between Kingston and Throop Avenues in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, it is served by the C train at all times except nights, when the A train takes over service.

History
The Kingston—Throop Avenues station was constructed as part of the IND Fulton Street Line, the main line of the city-owned Independent Subway System (IND)'s main line from Downtown Brooklyn to southern Queens. The groundbreaking for the line was held on April 16, 1929, at Fulton Street and Arlington Place. This station opened on April 9, 1936, as part of an extension of the Independent Subway System (IND) from its previous Brooklyn terminus at Jay Street–Borough Hall, which opened three years earlier, to Rockaway Avenue. The new IND subway replaced the BMT Fulton Street Elevated, and this station replaced its Brooklyn–Tompkins Avenues station, which closed on May 31, 1940.

Under the 2015–2019 Metropolitan Transportation Authority Capital Plan, the station, along with thirty other New York City Subway stations, were to have undergone a complete overhaul and would have been entirely closed for up to six months. Updates would include cellular service, Wi-Fi, charging stations, improved signage, and improved station lighting. However, most of these renovations are being deferred until the 2020–2024 Capital Program due to a lack of funding.

Station layout

This underground station has four tracks and two noticeably offset side platforms, with the southbound platform located roughly 300 feet further west (railroad north) than the northbound platform. The two center tracks are used by the A express train during daytime hours. Both platforms have a butterscotch yellow trim line with a mustard brown border and mosaic name tablets reading KINGSTON - THROOP AV." in white sans serif lettering on two lines on a mustard brown background and butterscotch yellow border. Small tile captions alternating between "KINGSTON" and "THROOP" in white lettering on a black background run below the trim line, and directional captions in the same style are present below some of the name tablets. The platforms are column-less except for a few dark yellow I-beam ones near fare control.

Exits
Each platform has one same-level fare control area. The one on the Euclid Avenue- and Queens-bound platform is at the extreme west (railroad north) end and has a bank of three turnstiles, and two staircases going up to each southern corners of Fulton Street and Kingston Avenue. The one on the Manhattan-bound platform is at the center and has a bank of four turnstiles, a full-time token booth, and two staircases going up to either northern corners of Fulton Street and Throop Avenue.

Incidents
This station was the site of a 1995 robbery that killed the token booth clerk, 50-year-old Harry Kaufman. Robbers squirted accelerant into the booth on the Euclid Avenue-bound platform and set the fumes alight with a match, causing an explosion that blew out the glass and deformed the booth. The incident drew national attention due to allegations that the movie Money Train (1995) inspired the murder. The allegations were unfounded and the movie's producer, Columbia Pictures, claimed that the scenes were inspired by an earlier event, in 1988, where another token booth clerk was killed in the same fashion.

Talk:Synchysis

I put substub on this as I have no idea what this is, otherwise I'd expand it myself, though it seems to be a genuine subject. As it stands the article is almost absolutely worthless. Sabine's Sunbird 00:07, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

A brief example, even a specially contrived one (in English, not Latin), would go a very long way towards making this clear. Without that, I agree that it is virtually incomprehensible. Treharne (talk) 07:39, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
