Millhaven Institution

Millhaven Institution (Établissement de Millhaven) is a maximum security prison located in Bath, Ontario. Approximately 500 inmates are incarcerated at Millhaven.

Opened in 1971, Millhaven was originally built to replace Ontario's other aging maximum security prison, Kingston Penitentiary in Kingston Ontario. A riot at Kingston Penitentiary forced Millhaven to open prematurely. During the period of 1977–1984, a Special Handling Unit (SHU) operated at Millhaven, alongside its general maximum-security population. A new Canada-wide Special Handling Unit was subsequently opened in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines Quebec, and the Millhaven SHU was closed.

Millhaven also housed the federal inmate intake and assessment unit for the Ontario region, the Millhaven Assessment Unit (MAU), until 2013, when the assessment unit was moved to Joyceville Institution, now Joyceville Assessment Unit (JAU), in order to facilitate the closing of Kingston Penitentiary. Federal parole violators were returned to MAU from whichever Ontario region they were arrested in, to appear in front of the National Parole Board for disposition.

Millhaven is one of two identically designed maximum security institutions in Canada. The other is located at Archambault Institution, Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, Quebec.

Bath Institution
Also located on same property is Bath Institution, a medium security facility located along the shores of Lake Ontario. Opened in 1972, it houses 340 inmates.

Living units
Millhaven consists of three main living units, a former segregation unit a hospital wing, and the ontario region's Regional Treatment Centre (RTC). There are approximately 120 men per unit. Units have two levels. Ranges are double-sided and have hydraulically locking metal doors (See video in "External Links" section), housing two inmates per cell. The ranges/cells are designated by alphanumeric code (i.e. B1, H2 etc.).

Main living units are designated by Alpha codes:

A Unit = A Unit was a Federal Intake and Assessment Unit – Ontario region until 2013 (MAU) (ranges B, C, & D)

E Unit = E Unit was a Federal Intake and Assessment Unit – Ontario region until 2013 (MAU) (and institutional workers) (ranges F, G, & H)

I Unit = Administrative Segregation/Special Needs

J Unit = Maximum Security Unit (MSU) (ranges K, L, & M)

N Area = Main intersection and security control hub.

MAU (Millhaven Assessment Unit) formerly housed inmates recently sentenced to federal time, in the Ontario region. They were assessed and placed in other prisons according to security needs. This responsibility now belongs to Joyceville Assessment Unit. MAU is classified as integrated (housing convicts serving time on all types of charges).

MSU (J unit) houses habitually violent offenders. Many inmates with life sentences are also housed in MSU. It was considered a "gladiator school", and convicts who serve time there were revered in the criminal subculture.

On September 30, 2013 Kingston Penitentiary was closed. Many maximum security inmates housed there were transferred to Millhaven. A new 96 bed facility was constructed within the Millhaven compound, to house inmates from the Kingston Pen closure.

Security
The perimeter is surrounded by a double 9.1-metre (30-foot) razor fence, and has observation towers at the corners.

A 1.2-metre (4-foot) "warning fence" inside the perimeter of the exercise yard acts as a boundary that inmates cannot cross without deadly force being used. Armed patrol vehicles with Colt Canada C8 rifles and parabolic microphones are on guard at all times. There are motion sensors in the outlying property, and multiple CCTV units throughout.

Visitors are subject to personal and vehicle search once on CSC property, and an ION scanner is used upon entry to detect drugs or other compounds on clothing or personal objects. The visiting area is equipped with CCTV, and listening devices are embedded in each table.

Inmates in the MAU (intake - A and E units) are allowed only screened visits, behind glass.

Notable events
Over the years, the institution has seen its share of violence. J unit is considered one of the most dangerous places in Canada's prison system. The most unruly inmates are often housed there.

Millhaven was forced to open early as the prisoners from Kingston Penitentiary were moved there because of the 1971 Kingston Penitentiary riot. The prisoners from Kingston were beaten by the Millhaven guards as they stepped off the buses on 18-19 April 1971 with Billy Knight, the leader of the Kingston penitentiary riot, being singled out by the guards. On 30 April 1971, the Ontario Attorney General Allan Lawrence ordered an investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police into the allegations that the guards of Millhaven had staged mass beatings of the prisoners from Kingston Penitentiary. On 27 May 1971, 11 guards from Millhaven were charged with 24 counts of assault, marking the first time in Canadian history that prison guards had been charged with assaulting inmates. On 10 December 1971, the Millhaven guards were brought to trial with Knight serving as the Crown's star witness. Knight testified that he been attacked with a nightstick as soon as he stepped off the bus, and then was forced to run a gauntlet of guards who beat him as he stumbled along.. Knight's injuries which included a vertical laceration on at the back of his skull along with a severally bruised face, a hairline fracture in his skull and a fracture on his left side of his skull supported his testimony. Two Millhaven guards, Bernard Evans and Grant Snider denied beating Knight and claimed that he had simply fallen and hurt himself.

Clayton Powell, the Crown Attorney prosecuting the accused noted that it was unlikely that dozens upon dozens of prisoners had all hurt themselves by falling when entering Millhaven. Powell admitted that the victims of the beatings were criminals, but stated "even the worst criminal in a penitentiary is entitled to protection under the laws of our country". The defense counsel appealed to the emotions of the jury by saying that the accused were officers of the Crown charged with keeping dangerous criminals within Millhaven and that the witnesses for the Crown were "criminal scumbags". The trial ended with a jury acquitting all of the guards on 16 December 1971. Knight had more success in a civil courtroom as he won $3, 500 dollars in a civil suit against the federal government for the beating he had endured. On 24 April 1972, a Royal Commission under Justice J.W. Swackhammer presented its report into the causes of the Kingston Penitentiary riot. The federal government censored the parts of the Swackhammer report which stated that the allegations of the mass beatings at Millhaven on 18-19 April 1971 were true, and which recommended that Warden John D. Clark, Deputy Warden Howard S. Bell and Deputy Warden Patrick McKegeny be fired as Swackhammer accused Clark, Bell and McKegeny of ordering the mass beatings.

On July 10, 1972, fourteen inmates escaped a recreation yard by clipping the chain link fence. A subsequent manhunt was undertaken by police and Canadian Forces personnel. Three hundred police officers and soldiers from CFB Trenton created a cordon that eventually yielded the capture of most of the escapees. In 1974, a prison riot at Millhaven lasted two days and saw 166 cells destroyed by the prisoners. At the time of the 1974 riot, a guard told a journalist from The Toronto Star: "It is a place where you try to survive. That includes the cons, the guards and the brass who run the place".

On the first anniversary of the August 10, 1975 suicide of prisoner Edward Nalon in the infamous "back hole" at Millhaven, prisoners at Millhaven refused to work and began a hunger strike for improvements to the prison system. They asserted that their strike was in solidarity with a strike at the British Columbia Penitentiary, and their strike inspired sympathy hunger strikes at Collins Bay Institution and Joyceville Institution. In response to the 1976 uprising, a report presented to the House of Commons in October 1976 written by 11 MPs stated: "Millhaven's early history was marked by the use of clubs, shackles, gas and dogs often in combination. As former inmates of Kingston Penitentiary said: "Kingston of 1971 hasn't gone away, it's just moved down the road"". The report stated that the conditions of Canadian prisons were "a national disgrace" and stated that Millhaven was one of the worse prisons in Canada.

In 1977 escapees were shot whilst climbing fences at Millhaven institution. Glenn Thomas Landers was killed while fellow inmate Florant Tanguay was injured by buckshot. Prior to the escape attempt a riot had been staged as well as the inmates had fashioned “zip” guns and had also smuggled a number of .22 rounds into the prison to aid in their escape which ultimately failed. On July 5, 1985, the warden of Millhaven (Al Stevenson) was placed under police protection due to credible threats to his life. The threats came from unknown Millhaven inmates. He was transferring in to Millhaven from Stony Mountain Institution in Manitoba, where he had a reputation of strictness. Warden Stevenson and his family were placed under guard by the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police). This caution was taken due to the 1978 murder of Archambault Institution (Quebec) warden Michel Roy.

In 2004, correctional officers employed at Millhaven Maximum Security were concerned about their safety after a rash of inmate uprisings. The Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta had ruled that an inmate can conceal a weapon (when in prison) if he/she is defending themselves. This ruling sparked a rash of weapon related attacks in the living units. In May 2009, Millhaven was the site of a riot which lasted less than 24 hours. On October 12, 2010, a correctional officer with a rifle shot a convict who refused orders to stop assaulting another prisoner in an outdoor recreation yard. On December 7, 2010, 120 inmates in the assessment unit refused to return to their cells at the end of a recreation period. They began to barricade themselves in the area and guards fired shotguns and used chemical agents to gain control of the situation.

On March 21, 2011, inmate Jordan Trudeau, 29, was killed in an altercation. The event took place in the gymnasium area during exercise for maximum security inmates. Trudeau and another inmate, David Bagshaw, 21, attacked a third inmate and were fired upon by correctional officers in an attempt to gain control of the situation. Trudeau was killed by a shot from a 9mm carbine. Bagshaw was wounded, and was charged with attempted murder in regards to the incident. The OPP Prison Squad investigated the incident, and found CSC staff acted properly.

August 11, 2014, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that Millhaven Institution was on lockdown to facilitate a major search. Containers that store cereal had gone missing, and was of concern enough to lock down the prison. During the lockdown a serious inmate-on-inmate assault took place.

Controversy
David Martin, a manager at Millhaven, was arrested in August 2010 and convicted of smuggling various narcotics into the prison, apparently in connection with the Hells Angels. He was found dead in his home on August 21, 2011.

In late April 2013, the Canadian Press acquired freedom of information documents indicating that Federal Public Safety Minister, Vic Toews overruled the Millhaven warden, who had approved a radio interview with Omar Khadr.

In February 2014, an investigation was launched by the Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada, due to complaints regarding the treatment of mentally ill inmates. These inmates had been transferred to Millhaven after the closure of RTC (Regional Treatment Centre) at Kingston Penitentiary. Photos released to the public show questionable facilities and cleanliness in that unit. Some mentally ill inmates had symptoms worsen upon arriving at Millhaven. There was also concern by the John Howard Society of Canada that the underground "bunker-like" location was a very negative atmosphere for these inmates.

CORCAN
Millhaven MSU inmates can gain employment in the CORCAN industries shop. Furniture for federal government offices is fabricated there. Inmates receive a small daily wage for this work, approximately $5 a day. Room and board fees are charged to these workers.

National security
In April 2006, a new division was created to house inmates being held on security certificates. It has been dubbed "Guantanamo". Omar Khadr was transferred to Millhaven from Guantanamo Bay on September 28, 2012, and subsequently transferred to Edmonton Maximum Security Penitentiary on May 28, 2013, due to threats made on his life in Millhaven. Members of a 2006 terrorist plot to attack Canadian targets are incarcerated at Millhaven.

Popular culture
The song "38 Years Old" by The Tragically Hip refers to an escape from the prison. The opening lines of the song say "12 men broke loose in '73, from Millhaven Maximum Security." There was such an escape in 1972. The lyrics of the song were changed to '73 to rhyme with "maximum security", and there were 14 escapees not 12. The remainder of the song is fiction.

The track "Caller Go Ahead" on Canadian performer Bruce McCulloch's 2002 comedy album Drunk Baby Project features a caller on a sports radio show who is not able to watch televised games while at Millhaven.

Stephen Reid (bank robber of The Stopwatch Gang fame) stated that he was told by an aboriginal inmate whilst incarcerated at Millhaven in 1971 that it was built on a native burial ground. This meant the prison would be forever cursed, and a place of turmoil.

Ron Fraser

Ronald George Fraser (June 25, 1933 – January 20, 2013) was an American baseball coach best known for his tenure at the University of Miami from 1963 to 1992. Nicknamed the "Wizard of College Baseball", he led the Miami Hurricanes baseball program to over 1,200 victories—his teams set an NCAA baseball record with playoff appearances in 20 consecutive seasons and won College World Series championships in 1982 and 1985.

Early years
Born and raised in Nutley, New Jersey, Fraser was a three-sport letterman at Nutley High School where he graduated in 1953. He then attended Murray State College in Kentucky from 1953 to 1954. Later, he played baseball at Florida State University from 1954 to 1956 as a relief pitcher for the Florida State Seminoles baseball team. At Florida State, he joined Theta Chi. He graduated in 1960.

Fraser served in the United States Army for two years, during 1957 and 1958. He was stationed in Germany and the Netherlands. He coached the Germany national baseball team at the 1958 European Baseball Championship, and he managed the Netherlands national baseball team from 1960 until 1963.

Miami Hurricanes baseball
In 1963, Fraser took a head coaching job with the University of Miami, a school which did not offer its baseball players a scholarship. Even though the school did not begin to offer scholarships until 1973, Fraser built a program. Some of the people Fraser brought to visit the school to bring publicity to the program were Major League Baseball (MLB) Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Stan Musial, as well as announcer Joe Garagiola.

In 1973, Miami started a record streak of consecutive postseason appearances in college baseball; the streak continued for 20 seasons under Fraser, and ultimately lasted 44 seasons, finally ending in 2017. Also in 1973, Mark Light Stadium was built in large part to efforts by Fraser to build a privately-funded stadium. In 1974, Miami was College World Series runner-up to the University of Southern California (USC), a perennial college baseball powerhouse.

The 1980s were a time of great change in Miami athletics. The Miami Hurricanes football team won championships in 1983, 1987 and 1989. While the success of Miami football seemed to eclipse much of the success of the baseball program, Miami won its first two College World Series in 1982 and 1985.

While opponents' fans often criticized Hurricane football fans for not selling out the Orange Bowl. Mark Light Stadium was almost always a full house for Hurricane baseball games and Fraser's Hurricanes drew 1.27 million fans in the 1980s, the best in college baseball.

Fraser was inducted to the Hurricanes' sports hall of fame in 1983, and the Ron Fraser Building, which houses the baseball offices at Mark Light Stadium, was named after him in 1986. Fraser retired as coach of Miami baseball at the end of the 1992 season.

Later years
Fraser coached the United States national baseball team at the 1992 Summer Olympics, which marked the first time that baseball was an official medal sport. The team, per Olympic rules at the time, was restricted to amateur players only. Fraser's 20-player squad of college baseball players included future major leaguers such as Jason Giambi, Nomar Garciaparra, and Jason Varitek. The team had a 5–2 record in pool play, then fell to Cuba in the semifinals, followed by a loss to Japan in the bronze-medal match.

Fraser was inducted to the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006. He died on January 20, 2013, at his home in Weston, Florida, of complications from Alzheimer's disease.

Jean Beaufret

Jean Beaufret (22 May 1907, in Auzances – 7 August 1982, in Paris) was a French philosopher and Germanist tremendously influential in the reception of Martin Heidegger's work in France.

Life
After graduating from the École Normale Supérieure and completing military service Beaufret passed his agrégation de philosophie in 1933 and undertook a career teaching as a lycée philosophy instructor. His early philosophical interests were in 19th century German philosophy, particularly GWF Hegel, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Karl Marx. In the period before the Second World War, he came to know Paul Éluard, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, André Breton, and Paul Valéry. During the war, he was a prisoner and escaped. Then he became a member of the Resistance near the city of Lyon in the "Service Périclès".

Beaufret and Heidegger
In 1946, as Heidegger's continued teaching privileges came into question by the denazification committees, he made Beaufret's acquaintance. Beaufret engaged Heidegger on the development of French existentialism, and Heidegger wrote the Letter on Humanism (Brief über den Humanismus) to Beaufret in response. Beaufret took his students to visit Heidegger at Todtnauberg in 1947 following a month-long Franco-German academic exchange at Freiburg im Breisgau, while Baden-Württemberg was still under French occupation. Jean-François Lyotard, one of the group of students on the trip selected to visit Heidegger, wrote about the experience thus:

 * I remember a sly peasant in his Hütte, dressed in traditional costume, of sententious speech and shifty eye, apparently lacking in shame and anxiety, protected by his knowledge and flattered by his discipline. This picture was enough to prevent me from becoming a "Heideggerian". I take no pride in this. These were fugitive impressions, due no doubt to the prejudices of a young Parisian. I continued to read his work. ("Heidegger and 'the Jews': a Conference in Vienna and Freiburg", p. 137, in Political Writings)

Beaufret remained a close associate of Heidegger's, and it was through Beaufret that Heidegger became aware of Jacques Derrida's work.

He was "a legendary professor of philosophy, having trained generations of students and future professors" (D. Pettigrew and F. Raffoul, French Interpretations of Heidegger, p. 6).

Beaufret is considered the wellspring of "orthodox French Heideggerianism", which was the element of French philosophy that was most dismissive of Heidegger's involvement with National Socialism after the French publication in 1987 of Víctor Farías's Heidegger and Nazism. One reason for Beaufret's dismissal of Farías may have been the latter's revealing that Beaufret had written things that supported the Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson.*  In a letter sent to Faurisson, Beaufret is quoted as saying:

"I believe that for my part I have traveled approximately the same path as you and have been considered suspect for having expressed the same doubts [concerning the existence of the gas chambers]. Fortunately for me, this was done orally." Also Jacques Derrida was shocked by Beaufret's anti-Semitic tirade against Emmanuel Levinas. François Fédier replied that Beaufret actually wrote this letter in 1978, long before Faurisson declared himself as a true negationist, so that he is absolutely not denying the Holocaust (this is demonstrably untrue; Faurisson had published 2 Holocaust-denying articles in 1978 already, and had claimed The Diary of Anne Frank as a forgery the same year). Beaufret wrote the letter only because Faurisson, who was a former student of his, had been violently attacked in the street. Concerning the so-called anti-Semitic tirade, Jacques Derrida actually didn't hear it: this was reported to him by a friend, Roger Laporte, and Beaufret denied it completely.

Heresiarch

In Christian theology, a heresiarch (also hæresiarch, according to the Oxford English Dictionary; from Greek: αἱρεσιάρχης, hairesiárkhēs via the late Latin haeresiarcha ) or arch-heretic is an originator of heretical doctrine or the founder of a sect that sustains such a doctrine.

Examples

 * Marcion, the founder of Marcionism
 * Arius, the founder of Arianism
 * St. Augustine refers to Mani, the founder of Manichaeism, as a heresiarch.
 * Menocchio, an Italian miller who was burned at the stake in 1599
 * Catholics, especially traditionalist Catholics such as Hilaire Belloc, consider Martin Luther, John Calvin, and other leaders of the Protestant Reformation to be arch-heretics.
 * Conversely, some fundamentalist Protestants (including Alexander Hislop and Charles Chiniquy) have used the term to refer to the papacy and the members of the Roman Curia.
 * Martin of Armenia, the fictional founder of the Old Russian Rite used by the Old Believers

Dante's Inferno
In his Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri represents the heresiarchs as being immured in tombs of fire in the Sixth Circle of Hell. In Cantos IX and X of the Inferno, Virgil describes the suffering these souls experience, saying "Here are the Arch-Heretics, surrounded by every sect their followers... / Like with like is buried, and the monuments are different in degrees of heat." Among the historical figures that Dante specifically lists as arch-heretics are Epicurus, Farinata Degli Uberti, Frederick I of Sicily, and Pope Anastasius II.

Michael Lohan

Michael John Lohan (born April 25, 1960) is an American television personality, best known as the father of actress Lindsay Lohan.

Early life
Michael Lohan is the oldest of four children born to Marilyn (née Desiderio) (1942-2020) and Richard Lohan (1937-2008). He has Irish and Italian ancestry.

Career
At age 20, Lohan became a Wall Street trader on the floor of the commodity exchange.

As of 2021, Lohan co-hosts a weekly radio show covering topics of addiction recovery on KPRC 950 AM in Houston, Texas.

Personal life
Lohan married Dina, a former singer and dancer, on November 2, 1985. Dina and Michael Lohan have four children: daughters Lindsay (b. July 2, 1986) and Aliana (b. December 22, 1993), and sons Michael, Jr. (b. 1988) and Dakota "Cody" (b. June 16, 1996). The parents separated when their daughter Lindsay was three, and later reunited. Dina filed for divorce on January 18, 2005. In August 2007, the former couple announced a final divorce settlement had been reached, with the divorce scheduled to be finalized three months later. Dina was granted custody of their two youngest children, Ali and Cody.

On June 30, 2008, Lohan submitted a DNA sample for a paternity test after a Montana massage therapist, Kristi Kaufmann Horn, stated she was intimately involved with Michael in 1995 while he was separated from Dina, and fathered her daughter, Ashley Horn. The paternity results were revealed as positive during his appearance on Trisha where Lohan reunited with Kaufmann while meeting Horn for the first time.

Lohan and former tabloid reporter Kate Major became engaged over Easter weekend in 2010. They later broke up, but their continued relationship, which was marked by conflict, was depicted in the fifth season of the VH1 reality TV series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,  which documented Lohan's rehabilitation for alcoholism, which he said began in 1982. Lohan says that although he had not done cocaine in six years at this point (a "culture" to which he says he succumbed while working on Wall Street), "Drinking always led to coke. Always." He also discussed how he was affected by the verbal abuse and alcoholism of his father, who had recently died of stomach cancer.

It was also revealed on Celebrity Rehab that Lohan had been diagnosed with left main cardiac disease. Although Lohan had previously had a blockage in his right coronary artery, the blockage at his left main coronary artery placed Lohan at high risk for a cardiac event, and required him to avoid stress and anger.

In 2011, Lohan lived in West Hollywood, California. As of February 2014, Lohan lived in Boca Raton, Florida with his wife Kate, whom he married in October 2014, and their sons, Landon Major Lohan (b. January 30, 2013) and Logan Michael Lohan (b. December 31, 2014). Prior to moving to Boca Raton, he lived in Fort Lauderdale and at the Tahitian Inn in Tampa.

Lohan and his wife lost custody of both their children in November 2015. In December 2015, Kate filed for legal separation from Lohan.

As of June 2022, Lohan lives in the Houston, Texas area.

Legal issues
In 1990, Lohan was investigated for insider trading and convicted of criminal contempt of court. He was sentenced to three years in jail in Nassau County, and was released in 1993 on five years' probation. During this time, his daughter Lindsay had started modeling for the Ford Models agency and was starring in commercials.

In 1997, Lohan was arrested when he violated his probation after flying to Napa, California to visit Lindsay, who had been hospitalized for an asthma attack that occurred during the filming of The Parent Trap. He subsequently served a year in prison.

After Lindsay became a movie star, tensions arose in the family. This conflict came to a head on May 23, 2004 when he and Dina's youngest brother, Matt Sullivan, got into a fistfight outside Lohan’s Long Island home during a first communion party for their son Dakota. Lohan was charged with attempted assault and, while awaiting sentencing, was involved in a car accident that led to his being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. While in prison, he took up singing and songwriting, as well as correspondence courses for Teen Challenge, a faith-based sobriety program. Michael and Dina Lohan separated again later that year. Lohan was later arrested on June 29 after allegedly leaving a Long Island hotel where he had rented several suites without paying his $3,800 bill, and faced assault charges in Manhattan for allegedly swearing at a sanitation worker and punching the worker in the face after the worker's truck blocked his car. On January 19, 2005, Dina's spokesperson confirmed that she had filed for divorce.

Lohan was released from prison in March 2007 after serving a two-and-a-half-year sentence in the Collins Correctional Facility. He subsequently took up residence in a Teen Challenge center in West Babylon, New York, and underwent training to become a minister, though to be ordained requires his parole to end.

He subsequently worked as an actor and counselor with the Long Island Teen Challenge rehabilitation program. He has also been involved in various television proposals, including the Michael Lohan Reality Project, a 2007 series produced by Frozen Pictures, which followed his life, work and efforts to reconnect with his daughter and family.

On October 25, 2011, Lohan was arrested in a suspected domestic violence incident in Tampa, Florida, involving his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Kate Major. Lohan was released from custody on $5,000 bail and ordered to have no further contact with Major. On October 27, 2011, he was again in police custody after contacting Major by phone. After being subsequently released from a Tampa hospital October 28, 2011, and taken to Falkenburg Road Jail, Lohan was denied bail the next day.

In April 2021, Lohan was arrested in Palm Beach County for illegal patient brokering stemming from illegal kickbacks he was alleged to have received by steering people towards specific treatment centers he was affiliated with. He was later convicted and in June 2022 sentenced to four years of probation.

Disappearance of Iraena Asher

Iraena Te Rama Awhina Asher (born 17 July 1979) was an Auckland trainee teacher and model who disappeared under controversial circumstances at Piha, a West Auckland beach, on 11 October 2004.

Disappearance
Asher apparently spent time at a new boyfriend's home at Piha on 10 October 2004. At 9 pm that evening, she called the New Zealand Police using the 1-1-1 emergency telephone number, expressing fears for her safety.

Although a patrol car could have been made available to attend this incident, police decided to call a taxi for Asher to pick her up. Police said later that people sometimes obtained a free ride home in a police car after making a false emergency call. A taxi was dispatched, but it went to the wrong street in Onehunga, on the other side of the city from Piha. Asher was later found wandering the streets by a Piha couple, Julia Woodhouse and Bobbie Carroll, who took her into their home for several hours. At 1:10 am, she left their home and was subsequently seen by others, semi-clad, walking towards the beach. She ran off before she could be approached. This was the last known sighting of her.

Asher's family told police that she suffered from bipolar disorder.

In May 2005, Asher's family held a memorial service for her, telling mourners that if police had responded properly to her emergency call, she might be alive today. Her parents, Betty and Mike Asher, were said to be considering bringing a lawsuit against the New Zealand Police, on unspecified grounds. No legal proceedings were ever commenced by her parents. Mike Asher also went missing in January 2023 and was found dead three days later.

Inquest
An inquest into her disappearance began on 17 July 2012. The police investigation into her disappearance found that she most likely drowned. During the inquest, the coroner criticised Woodhouse and Carroll for not calling the police themselves. The High Court subsequently found that the suggestion that their failure to call the police had contributed to Asher's death was based on speculation.

Nicholas D. Wolfwood

Nicholas D. Wolfwood (ニコラス・D・ウルフウッド), also known as Nicholas the Punisher, is a major character in the Trigun manga series created by Yasuhiro Nightow, as well as its anime adaptation. He is a priest who wields a large cross-shaped gun named the Punisher, which he and his former colleagues use either in saving people or for complete destruction. After showing potential in the orphanage in which he was raised, Chapel trained and modified him, giving him enhanced abilities and the ability to regenerate from heavy injuries using special vials. He was given a special large cross-shaped gun called the Punisher, which contains two machine guns and a rocket launcher. Wolfwood is found nearly dead in the desert by protagonist Vash the Stampede. They become recurring allies despite acting on different morals when fighting.

Wolfwood was created by Nightow using as a major model the singer Tortoise Matsumoto from the band Ulfuls. The character has been voiced by several actors in both Japanese and English.

Wolfwood's characterization was praised for his portrayal that acts as a foil to the protagonist's morals and backstory related with the villains. While being a priest, he was noted to be similar to famous Christians. Nightow himself is a Christian Convert.

Concept and creation

Though Vash the Stampede, the protagonist of Trigun, was Yasuhiro Nightow's original creation, Wolfwood on the other hand came from an outside inspiration. There's a band named "Wolfwood," and he took the lead singer as his image for the priest. He is also modeled on Tortoise Matsumoto from the band Ulfuls. Nightow really liked the shape of his sharp, curved down nose. Nightow jokes that as some of us might have noticed, he spent a lot of time sculpting Wolfwood's nose.

Nightow noted that the project he is really proud of is Wolfwood's life and death, and the storyline around it. His outfit was made simple and Nightow prevented himself from adding a lot of stuff, commenting that if he did, he'll be hard to draw. The Punisher is a large cross-shaped gun wielded by the best members of the Eye of Michael, of which the most commonly seen member is Nicholas D. Wolfwood. His Punisher has two machine guns in front and a rocket launcher in the back. In the anime, the side arms of the cross open up to reveal storage racks for several semiautomatic pistols. Nightow commented on the Punisher being around a "hundred-and-so" kilograms and Wolfwood having an "incredible sense of balance".

Casting
In the first Trigun animated adaptation, Wolfwood was voiced by Shō Hayami. In retrospect, he cherishes his early work, claiming he felt loved, especially when interacting with Vash's actor. For Stampede he was replaced by Yoshimasa Hosoya who talked about the various layers of Wolfwood's appeal, such as the shady Kansai dialect, his tingling danger, and the various sides of emotions he expresses between dangerous or caring.

Jeff Nimoy voiced Wolfwood in the original Trigun anime though he was first cast for Vash. After failing to dub one of Vash's lines, a Japanese man asked him if he smoked cigarettes but still fit for the Wolfwood as his character smokes. This led to Nimoy being instead cast for Wolfwood. After recording for Digimon, Nimoy met director Joe Romersa for the cast of Trigun. In eleven hours, Nimoy did the recording of all of Wolfwood's lines including his death which left him tired. Nimoy was surprised by how famous he became in the next years as people were shocked to hear his voice in and feel Wolfwood's voice. As time went on, Nimoy took a liking to his work as Wolfwood and befriended Vash's actor.

For the film, Wolfwood was voiced by Brad Hawkins. He was replaced by David Matranga for the Stampede anime.

Manga
He is a priest; however, he spent the greater part of his life training to be an assassin under a priest he looked up to. He hardly ever feels any remorse for killing, especially when it's to protect the innocent. He and Vash have some minor disagreements on this matter, which is somewhat ironic due to their occupations as gunfighters. He frequently shows his frustration at an inability to live up to Vash's non-killing lifestyle, demonstrating the guilt he has for taking others’ lives, even while doing it for good purposes. He particularly looks out for kids, making sure that none ever suffer like he did, and his primary objective has always been to make money for his orphanage.

After Wolfwood showed potential in the orphanage in which he was raised, Chapel (also known as Master C) took him into the Eye of Michael, an organization of assassins founded by a plant worshipper, and trained and modified Wolfwood to be a killer. The modifications gave him enhanced abilities and the ability to regenerate from heavy injuries using special vials, but as a result caused his body to age at an accelerated rate, giving him the appearance of being middle-aged though he is a young adult by the start of the series.

His potential was recognized as exceptional, and so he was given the tenth incarnation of the organization's most powerful weapon, a special large cross-shaped gun called the Punisher, which becomes his official title within the Eye of Michael. Wolfwood later betrayed and shot Chapel, impersonating Chapel to gain entry into the Gung-Ho-Guns in an attempt to kill Millions Knives. He failed, and was instead sent by Knives to guide and protect Vash on the latter's travels to Knives's base, thus killing fellow Guns Rai-Dei the Blade and Gray the Ninelives. After Vash is taken prisoner in the Ark, Wolfwood rescues him and later departs to December to protect the orphanage from the retaliation. He battles his childhood friend, Livio the Double Fang, and his crippled master in a confrontation that spans two volumes. He manages to mortally wound Chapel and defeat both Livio and Razlo the Tri-Punisher of Death, Livio's alternate personality, but must take a fatal overdose of his regenerative vials in order to do so. Soon after the battle is over, he dies while having a last drink with Vash.

Anime
In the anime, Wolfwood is raised by an abusive guardian, whom he later shoots and kills at the age of seven. He is taken in by Chapel the Evergreen, who trains him to become his eventual successor in the Gung-Ho Guns. He meets Vash while he is stranded in the desert, and the two join forces. During the course of the series, Wolfwood develops a relationship with Milly Thompson that crosses from close friendship into romance. Wolfwood's purpose is to raise money for the children in the orphanage he runs, trying to keep other children from suffering as he did in his own childhood. He initially holds the ideals that he must kill, though he eventually comes to accept Vash's ideals. He eventually fights his master, but spares him after defeating him. Legato Bluesummers controls Chapel and forces him to shoot Wolfwood, who stumbles into a church. He spends his last moments reflecting on his life and making a final confession, then shouts, "I did not want to die this way!" Wolfwood smiles faintly as he dies leaning against his Punisher, his pose similar to the one in which Vash first found him. Vash later carries the Punisher as a way of honoring Wolfwood's memory, and uses it against Knives after hearing the priest's voice urging him to do so during the brothers' battle.

Reception
Anime Source ranked Wolfwood #75th in their Top 100 Anime Characters Survey based on 19 votes. Saying that "Wolfwood is the father of all badass, gun-toting priests. He is completely unorthodox in his methods, but still dedicated to his ministry in his own absurd way. Totally respecting this guy because not everyone can mesh coolness and priesthood with such finesse." Wolfwood ranked number 10 in the 1998 Annual Anime Grand Prix for Male Character.

Mania.com listed him in 9th place in their 10 Biggest Bad Ass Anime Gunslingers, commenting that "Wearing the clothes of a priest and carrying a cross on his back Wolfwood roams the desert planet of Gunsmoke. His cross truly represents death not only in its symbolic meaning but also in the fact that it is one giant arsenal itself. It contains a machine gun function and rocket launcher as well as containing a rack of handguns in the anime. Before Wolfwood met Vash, he was a do whatever it takes individual who had no problem with dispensing lead as for his sacraments and introducing those in his way to God in a very up close manner." The site also listed him as the best supporting character in an anime series. Jian DeLeon of Complex magazine named him sixth on a list of "The 25 Most Stylish Anime Characters," labeling him "The epitome of "speak softly and carry a big stick." Anime News Network referred to Wolfwood as a foil to Vash due to how he challenges his pacifists methods while working together. DVD Talk agreed with the handling of Wolfwood, finding him to be the opposite of Vash's character, while also commenting him to be an entertaining supporting character. Shō Hayami's performance as Wolfwood's Japanese actor was also praised by DVD Talk due to appearing to have fun with his work and how he retains a cool personality when talking about him. Elena M. Aponte from Bowling Green State University wrote that Wolfwood's characterization serves to contrast Vash's values which is heavily displayed when Wolfwood kills one of Knives' men confronting him and claims that Vash's desire to save others does not make sense if he does not want to execute violence.

In regards to his role in Stampede, Dual Shockers lamented how the removal of Milly's character negatively affects the characterization of Wolfwood as the two were into a romantic relationship in Madhouse's original series. The fact that Roberto and Meryl instead are quickly introduced as audience surrogates, the handling of both Wolfwood and Vash as active main character is faster executed in Orange's version allowing the duo be faster developed in the process. Anime News Network enjoyed the handling of Wolfwood in Stampede due to how more expanded are his relationships and backstory. Anime Corner acclaimed Wolfwood's backstory episode as one of the best ones in the entire season for the execution and visuals. The sci-fi novel This Is How You Lose the Time went viral as commented by Trigun Stampede Producer Yoshihiro Watanabe with the writers noting its rise of sales following comments by a user that kept parodying Wolfwood. Toussaint Egan from Polygon expressed joy in this acknowledgment as he was both a fan of El-Mohtar and Gladstone's novel and the Trigun.

Analysis
Wolfwood continually insinuates confession is part of his purpose, Wolfwood's primary occupation is being a Christian priest, and his clothes and main weapon is of Christian themes. Nightow is generally known as one of the few successful Christian manga artists. Most of the Japanese population is not Christian, but Trigun itself is full of themes and ideas that have connections to Christianity. Nightow grew up as a Buddhist, but studied Catholicism and converted to it, while retaining Buddhist principles.

These elements of Western Christianity and Catholicism are found throughout the manga and anime. Wolfwood takes his faith greatly in mind, despite being a gunman, but unlike Vash who is much of pacifist, Wolfwood believes himself to be a realist and that violence and killing is a part of life. When questioned about these conflicting ideals by Vash, Wolfwood laments and confesses at the church altar before his death stating, "I've always chosen the right path, haven't I?" Wolfwood actions can be seen with other of his Biblical predecessors. There is John the Baptist, a non-conforming ambassador for Christ, who walked around in the wilderness, much like Wolfwood hiked through the desert. St. Peter used gratuitous violence to save Jesus, rather like Wolfwood perhaps unnecessarily shooting down Zazie the Beast to save Vash. Jesus rebuked Peter by saying, "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword". In the manga and anime that is also how Wolfwood was killed, dying beside his weapon. Samson from the Old Testament lived life wildly and violently, killing because of grudges, and carrying on outside of marriage with the two-faced Delilah. Yet God used him as a Judge for His people. Wolfwood also lives wildly and violently, yet is able to be used for good. The Book of Judges remarks about Samson's time that "in those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes." Sometimes seen as Wolfwood is taking that verse to heart in a lawless land. He can also be referenced to St. Paul, who traveled through unknown land to spread Christianity, just like Wolfwood travelling through a harsh planet to save his orphanage and people he came across.

Talk
I don’t care Where any of you are from and what your grandma told you and what her grandma told her but her grandma and your grandma don’t make country fried steak with chicken..

Alton Brown
What ever Alton Brown says about chicken fried steak shouldn't be taken too literally. If you must know about chicken fried steak, ask a true Texan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.80.74.49 (talk) 19:46, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Redirected from Milk Steak?
The article "Milk Steak" redirects here. While I'm guessing that Milk Steak is another word for Chicken fried steak in some regions, but if so this should be explicitly stated somewhere in the article. I'd edit the article myself, but I'm completely unfamiliar with the term. RCanine (talk) 00:04, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Native Texan
This is the true Texas recipe for Chicken Fried Steak is all it has ever been called in Texas...Country fried is different and from different states. The recipe or ingredients are wrong...no one in Texas uses breadcrumbs...gross...it's flour. First, salt & pepper tenderized steak, dip in egg and milk batter, dip in flour (you can double dip if you want...repeat) fry in hot oil. (My grandmother used bacon drippings) You have to use a black iron skillet for best results. I still have my grandmothers and it is over 100 years old. Gravy is made with drippings and heavy cream. No beans on the side. It's served with mashed potatoes and gravy. The picture on the website does not even resemble a chicken fried steak... No other ingrediants, no onions, etc.  This is the real deal...(Truetexan June 28, 2008)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truetexan (talk • contribs) 16:13, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Questioning a couple of assertions
In the Southern regions where the dish developed, "country fried steak" is preferred as the name, with "chicken fried steak" being more common in non-Southern regions of the U.S.

Is there any attribution for this? I've always gathered that chicken fried steak was developed in Texas by Germans settlers, as an adaptation of schnitzel to local beef. The term "chicken fried steak" is more common in Texas. So what's the source on its origination in "country fried steak" regions? -Ben 02:58, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * It's history is much more varied and complicated.  is one good source.  I agree, the text needs to be changed (or deleted for now), but perhaps we can do some digging around and find something better and more conclusive.  (While it's original research, when I lived in TN some of the locals would get really bent out of shape if you called it Chicken Fried Steak---that's what Yankees and Texans called it...) -- Kaszeta 14:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Being from Texas I've always heard chicken fried steak was developed in Texas by slaves who needed to do something with the round portion of the cow. Thats the story I've heard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.67.162.222 (talk) 22:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps a list of varients should be made
In addition to Chicken Fried Chicken, I see Chicken Fried Pork in grocery stores. Joncnunn 21:21, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Dish Name
Born in Georgia, I had never heard anything but country fried steak. However, I have heard the term chicken fried steak used almost exclusively in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.156.25.150 (talk • contribs) 21:33, May 5, 2006 (UTC)

 * Georgia-raised Chef Alton Brown, on his Food Network show Good Eats, has an episode called "Cubing Around," in which he starts with the same cut of beef, tenderized round steaks IIRC, and sends them in three directions: Chicken-fried, country fried, and Swiss steaks. Chicken fried steak is, as described, breaded and pan-fried, and served with a pan-gravy.  Country-fried is dredged in flour, browned in a pan, and then stock is added to deglaze and make a braising liquid, to which the steak re-added until it is much more tender.  Likewise, Swiss steak is pan-fried for browning and then braised, but the braising liquid is a more complicated tomato-based affair.  He presenting the differences as geographical ones, and the show includes multiple names for the three dishes, but that one should not order one in a place not accustomed to serving it.  At any rate, the comments make it fairly clear that Chicken-fried and Country-fried should not be converging at Chicken-fried. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.29.26.50 (talk • contribs) 01:53, November 9, 2006 (UTC)

City chicken?
Why does City chicken redirect here? Chicken fried steak is not the same as city chicken. Here is the best page I could find about the history of city chicken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.216.98.46 (talk • contribs) 21:48, May 14, 2006 (UTC)

 * It appears to have been fixed to reflect the differences in the recipes. Jo7hs2 03:19, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Chicken Fried Chicken
How is "chicken friend chicken", quote, "very different from fried chicken, even fried chicken made with boneless chicken breasts". This line basically says "frying a chicken like you would fry chicken isn't the same thing as fried chicken". Someone please add some insight, I've added a "cite" tag for the time being. JD79 03:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Other than the "even fried chicken made with boneless chicken breasts" bit that passage makes perfect sense to me. Where I'm from (Oklahoma) fried chicken is chicken that has been cut up, battered, and fried, while chicken fried chicken is the same as chicken fried steak, but with chicken used instead of steak.  Confused?  In other words, fried chicken is what you get in a big bucket at KFC-- the bones are still there, the meat can be white or dark, and it is possible/polite to eat it with your hands.  Chicken fried chicken is made only with boneless breast meat that may have been tenderized.  Since it lacks bones it is not plausible to pick up the dish and it is eaten with a knife and fork.  --Lucy 24.12.29.153 21:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * One other point. Chicken fried chicken is served with cream gravy (at least at the places where I have eaten it here in Texas).  As is the case with chicken fried teak, the cream gravy is typically generously poured over the chicken fried chicken. While one could pick up the chicken fried chicken and eat it, being covered in cream gravy, it would be rather messy.  2001:1890:1263:AFD:F81B:80A8:EDBD:853E (talk) 23:05, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

The previous poster is accurate, though the article could use some clarification on this point. The key idea is that "Chicken friend chicken" is really a proper name for a specific dish; the dish could as well be called "Mr. Smith's chicken." The original poster erred in trying to translate a proper name into plain English. I've tried to clarify this point a bit by cleaning up the allusions to "fried chicken" in the article, but it still is imperfect. 68.173.25.123 17:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Brad

Be careful about the name
The article as written at the moment implies that "chicken fried steak" has only one meaning in the U.S. which is not the case. I can attest to this personally as I once ordered a "chicken fried steak" at a Perkins in Minnesota and was disappointed to get a breaded chicken breast. The waitress and my inlaws were all surprised by my confusion since "obviously" I got what I ordered. My impression has always been that "chicken fried steak" is really only a term used in Texas and some other parts of the South. To the extent that it is seen in other areas of the country I have always understood this an attempt to "sound Southern." -- Mcorazao 15:08, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * At Perkins, what you wanted to order is a "Country Fried Steak." Perkins Menu Chikanamakalaka 20:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe chicken-fried and country-fried are the same
chicken-fried steak is usually deep fried and country-fried is usually pan fried; there is a difference: country-fried steak can be easily cut with a fork whereas chicken-fried is crispier —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.35.78.5 (talk • contribs) 22:09, February 27, 2008 (UTC)

 * The article says that chicken-fried steak is "deep-fried in a pan" ... do they mean deep-fried or pan-fried? or am I missing something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.20.15 (talk) 07:57, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

 * The difference is the amount of fat/oil in the pan. A chicken-fried steak needs to "swim" in the fat. Panfrying only requires enough fat so that nothing sticks to the pan. Janko (talk) 20:00, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Calling it "deep fried in a pan" is just plain misleading. Yeah, you use plenty of fat in the pan, but that doesn't make it "deep fried". 2001:1890:1263:AFD:F81B:80A8:EDBD:853E (talk) 22:05, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

 * But it is an apt description. About the only time you will see chicken fried steak cooked in a deep fryer, at least in Texas and surrounding states, is when the patty was pre-battered and frozen in a manufacturing plant for use in cheap fast-food restaurants.  I don't think I've ever seen a real steakhouse making chicken fried steak that deep fried it. 65.68.190.183 (talk) 09:41, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

 * It's regional. I've always seen "country fried steak" as something precisely identical to what this article calls "chicken fried steak." Cracker Barrel restaurants refer to "country fried steak" and "chicken fried chicken," both of which are breaded & deep-fried. --Joe Sewell (talk) 19:19, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't exactly go by what Cracker Barrel restaurants says as being definitive of anything except their own marketing. 2001:1890:1263:A00:4637:E6FF:FE4B:F0D4 (talk) 03:45, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

 * That shows my point, though. The terms "country fried steak" and "chicken fried steak" can mean the same thing in some circles, and not in others. --Joe Sewell (talk) 17:21, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Comparison to Wiener Schnitzel
I am Second Generation Hungarian-Canadian (so, of Hungarian descent with my native Hungarian family still here and alive), friends with many Germans (same food and traditions, different names) and diplomats. I have to say that Europeans will notice a HUGE difference between the two: chicken/country fried steak and schnitzel. I admit that I have often seen country fried steak mislabeled as schnitzel, mostly groceries stores and unfortunately my alma mater's cafeteria until I corrected them, by people in ignorance (which possibly contributes to further ignorance) or those trying to heighten the price (up north, the term/food country fried steak is considered somewhat bumpkin, where schnitzel would be foreign - guess which costs more). I can't prove it yet - all I've got is "personal research" and recipes that cite some changes in ingredients but mostly different preparation - but personally I would want to reword the article, once references can be found, to state something to the effect of: Due to related origin, chicken fried steak is sometimes mistakenly referred to as schnitzel'' in North America. However, chicken fried steak remains a distinct dish due to differences in taste, texture and thickness.'' --Blondtraillite (talk) 03:31, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Country FS and Chicken FS are Not the Same Thing
I believe this article is innaccurate as written. Country Fried Steak and Chicken Fried Steak are not the same dish. The two dishes should be placed in seperate articles, or have a single article for "Fried Steak" which discusses each seperately. In the South, where I live, Country Fried Steak refers to a specific preparation involving breaded, fried, and (white gravy) smothered steak, using the leftover breading to form the gravy. Chicken Fried Steak is a distinctly Texas dish, and while I'll let a Texan define it, I've always understood it to be a bit crispier because it is not smothered in gravy, and some times with brown gravy. Oh, and btw, Alton Brown cooked "Country Style" not "Country Fried" steak. It was more like Salisbury than anything I've heard of. --dmprantz (talk) 21:18, 09 July 2010 (UTC)

Texan here. Chicken fried steak is breaded, fried and smothered in white gravy. You can ask for the gravy on the side, but it won't be served that way by default. My experience has been that the dish is the same, but called "chicken fried steak" in Texas and "country fried steak" elsewhere (or by non-Texan chain restaurants operating in Texas). I always assumed it was to reduce confusion about what kind of meat was in the dish. In the 1980s I asked for a chicken fried steak in Nashville and was met with blank stares and confusion. --A Texan, Feb 21, 2013 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.79.31.34 (talk) 04:39, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Sausage Gravy
I'm from South Texas and moved to Las Vegas in 2005 where I found a monstrosity that was a CFS topped with a cream gravy that had ground pork sausage mixed in. While I did find a few places that excluded the sausage, I made it a habit of asking before ordering. Now I live in Portland and, as of yet, I have not found a CFS served without sausage gravy. The few places that do have it on the menu advertise as "Soul Food" but seem to be a mish mash of Creole interpretations matched with a few Soul and/or Southern Comfort items. I think this wiki could use a mention that the sausage is a Northern variant and not remotely traditional.

Cookbook Reference in Sidebar
I tried to correct the internal link to a (or the, I didn′t check) cookbook in Wikibooks located in the information box below the main ingredients. The present link has a minor problem that sends the user to the page about how to find the correct subject. The link should be: Cookbook:Chicken-fried_Steak, a trivial difference, but I′m not experienced enough on Wikipedia yet even to find the present link, let alone to correct it, and I′ve made well over 2000 editorial contributions to Wikipedia since 2007. ☺  Dick Kimball (talk) 18:05, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

The picture of chicken fried steak
That picture of chicken fried steak does not look at all appetizing. It doesn't even look like real chicken fried steak. And having brown gravy definitely does not help. If I got that at a restaurant, I would not be at all happy and would probably never go into that restaurant again.65.68.190.186 (talk) 01:38, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

I believe that is a pic of country fried steak, not chicken fried, which is unfortunate since the article specifically says the two should not be confused. LeeMNichols (talk) 14:11, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Method of cooking
A real chicken fried steak is cooked in a pan filled deep with vegetable shortening or other oil. The vegetable shortening should be at least a little deeper than the chicken fried steak. It is pretty much like deep frying. Calling this pan frying is highly misleading. The article makes a mish-mash of this that can't help but confuse people. Country fried steak is a different dish entirely and should really be in a separate entry. 2001:1890:1263:A00:B862:6757:7671:A843 (talk) 06:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Balashikha

Balashikha (Балашиха) is a city in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Pekhorka River 1 km east of the Moscow Ring Road. Population:

Etymology
In Finno-Ugric languages, Bala-shika means land of celebrations, land of laughter and fun. Finnic peoples lived in this area before Slavs.

Geography
The city is known for its unique river and waterway system. The Pekhorka River system covers an area of 40 km from north to south and 20 km from east to west, and many small lakes and ponds were created by damming to provide water power for the cotton mills in the 19th century.

History
Balashikha was established in 1830. It was granted town status in 1939. Several rural hamlets had existed long before on the site of the modern city.

The city stands on the famous Vladimir Highway, which led out of Moscow to the east. This was the route along which convicted criminals were marched to forced labor camps in Siberia. The road was renamed Gorky Highway in the Soviet era. The failure of the Decembrist Revolt against Tsar Nicholas I led to the execution of its ringleaders and the exile of many nobles to Siberia. Soviet-era schoolchildren were told that the prisoners were marched in chains along this road followed by their wives. In truth, the Decembrist prisoners were sent from St. Petersburg, then the capital of Russia, through Yaroslavl, and not through Moscow and Balashikha, and the story was invented as part of celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the event in 1925.

Between 1830 and 1870, a cotton factory was in operation in the area, with its fabric called Balashikha. A railway station was built at the end of the 19th century, again called Balashikha Station.

As it grew, Balashikha absorbed other villages, including Gorenki, a suburban estate of Count Andreas Razumovsky, and Pekhra-Yakovlevskoye, an estate of Prince Galitzine, the latter being in use for 250 years from 1591 to 1828. This is the site of a stone church, built from 1777 to 1782.

Saltykovka, a part of Balashikha, has long been known for its attractions to the artistic community. Isaak Levitan, the famous landscape painter, lived there in 1879. Lev Tolstoy was another frequent visitor.

Soviet period
Several institutions were founded in Balashikha after the October Revolution, including one dedicated to the production of fur.

During the Soviet era, Balashikha became a major industrial center with industries in metallurgy, aviation industry, cryogenic technology, machinery, and other fields.

Balashikha sent many of its sons to the front to fight the Germans during World War II. Among those who fought and died was Ivan Flerov who commanded a Katyusha rocket division and is remembered by several monuments and museums in the area.

Along with many other Russian Orthodox Churches, the Cathedral of Saint Alexander Nevsky was demolished by the government. The cathedral was blown up in the 1960s but was rebuilt, on its original site, in 2002. Additionally, Afghan operatives of the KhAD agency were sent to Balashikha for training under the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan.

Modernity
The Balashikha Maternity House was designated on July 1, 2003, to be the Moscow Oblast Perinatal Center. This facility will now function as a regional perinatal care facility for high-risk mothers and infants and a perinatal health education center for Moscow Oblast.

Although not part of the extensive Moscow subway system, Balashikha is home to many office workers who commute to Moscow each day. It has several thriving markets and retail centers and is quickly modernizing. It is surrounded by attractive woodland and countryside.

In January 2015, the city of Zheleznodorozhny was abolished with its territory merged into Balashikha.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with twelve rural localities, incorporated as Balashikha City Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, Balashikha City Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as Balashikha Urban Okrug.

In the past, Balashikha served as the administrative center of Balashikhinsky District. On January 1, 2011, the district was abolished.

Sport
The 2017 national rink bandy cup took place in Balashikha.

Balashikha is a home to FC Balashikha, Meteor Balashikha and Olimp-SKOPA Zheleznodorozhny football teams.

Ice Palace Balashikha Arena was opened in 2007. From 2007 to 2010 it was a home venue for HC MVD, that took part in Kontinental Hockey League and from 2019 to 2022 it hosted Avangard Omsk that won Gagarin Cup in 2020-21 season.

Culture

The city is home to several music schools, including the Sviridov School of Arts. Attractions include the Balashikha Arena and Moscow Radio Center 13.

Military
Balashikha is the site of a large Russian Army base and was closed to foreigners during the Soviet era, a ban which, in theory, remains to the present day. It was the headquarters of the 1st Corps of the Soviet Air Defense Forces and is now to become the headquarters of the Operational-Strategic Command for Missile-Space Defense. Balashikha is also a base for ODON (Internal security division). Balashikha is home to Military Unit 35690, which is a training facility used by the Federal Security Service.

The Alligator People

The Alligator People is a 1959 American CinemaScope science-fiction horror film directed by Roy Del Ruth. It stars Beverly Garland, Bruce Bennett, and Lon Chaney Jr. This film was the penultimate feature directed by Del Ruth, and quite different from those of his days at Warner Bros.

The film was theatrically distributed by 20th Century Fox on a double bill with Return of the Fly.

Plot
After being administered the drug sodium pentothal by two psychiatrists, amnesiac nurse Jane Marvin recalls a series of events from her repressed memories when she was known as Joyce Webster.

In flashbacks, we see Joyce after marrying a young man named Paul Webster. Aboard their honeymoon train, Paul receives a telegram and leaves in a panic to make a phone call. When the train pulls out, Paul is missing, having vanished without a word. Throughout the following months, Joyce employs private detectives and searches for her husband. She eventually finds a lead: the address of the Cypresses Plantation that Paul entered on his college enrollment forms.

Joyce travels to the desolate town of Bayou Landing, Louisiana. There, she meets Manon, a handyman at the Cypresses, and convinces him to drive her to the plantation. Joyce then introduces herself to Lavinia Hawthorne, the Cypresses' stern mistress. When Joyce suggests that Paul once lived there, Lavinia calls her a liar and tries to have her thrown out. However, after learning that Joyce has missed the last train back to town, Lavinia reluctantly invites her to stay the night under the proviso that she must not leave her room.

That night, Joyce hears the strings of a piano and slips out of her room to investigate. Downstairs, she sees a man in a trench coat seated at the piano. The shadowy figure turns out to be Paul, mutated and reptilian-looking. When Joyce enters the room, Paul flees. He later insists to Lavinia that Joyce must leave as soon as possible. The next morning, Mark, the local doctor, comes to the house to question Joyce. Sensing that everyone is withholding information about Paul, she refuses to leave. When Joyce demands that Lavinia tell her what she did to Paul, the older woman breaks down and confesses that he is her son. Joyce later sees Paul again and follows him into the swamps. After being menaced by several alligators and a giant snake, Joyce is rescued by Manon, who carries her to his shack. There, he assaults her until she gets knocked unconscious. An outraged Paul then bursts in and fights Manon. After a struggle, Paul manages to incapacitate him and takes Joyce back to the house. Manon recovers and vows to kill Paul. Back at the house, the maid Lou Ann is caring for Joyce while Paul presses Mark to give him an untested cobalt treatment in hopes of curing his condition. Mark agrees to give him the treatment.

The next morning, Mark summons Joyce to his lab and tells her about his experiments with reptilian hormones that are capable of regenerating limbs. After Paul was horribly mangled in a plane crash, Mark administered the serum to him and several other accident victims. The treatment appeared to be a great success, until his patients began to take on reptilian traits. After Paul received the telegram notifying him of this, he hurriedly left the train and came home in hopes of reversing his condition. When Joyce learns of Paul's upcoming cobalt treatment, she insists on being present.

Paul encounters Joyce at the clinic and feels ashamed, but she reassures him of her love. When they start the treatment, Manon bursts into the lab and destroys the control panel. The machine starts shooting powerful rays at Paul that transform him into a bipedal, reptilian monster with an alligator-like head. While trying to attack Paul, Manon gets caught on some cords and is electrocuted. Confused, Paul tries to communicate, but his voice has been replaced with a reptilian snarl. Hearing his wife and mother scream in horror, Paul flees into the swamps. Joyce runs after him, as the cobalt machine, short circuits, self-destructs and destroys the lab. Scrambling away from his wife, Paul stumbles into quicksand and slowly sinks out of sight, seemingly meeting his demise.

Back in the present, the psychiatrists review the tapes of Joyce's ordeal. Concluding that her amnesia has allowed her to suppress the horror and resume a normal life, they decide not to tell her about her past.

Cast

 * Beverly Garland as Joyce Webster/Jane Marvin
 * Bruce Bennett as Dr. Eric Lorimer
 * Lon Chaney Jr. as Manon
 * George Macready as Dr. Mark Sinclair
 * Frieda Inescort as Mrs. Lavinia Hawthorne, Henry's Wife
 * Richard Crane as Paul Webster
 * Douglas Kennedy as Dr. Wayne MacGregor
 * Dudley Dickerson as Train Porter
 * Hal K. Dawson as Train Conductor
 * Ruby Goodwin as Louann the Maid
 * Vince Townsend Jr. as Toby the Butler

Production
Developed for Fox as a co-feature for Return of the Fly, The Alligator People was produced by Jack Leewood for Associated Producers on a budget of $300,000. It was written by Orville H. Hampton (also known for The Snake Woman, Jack the Giant Killer and the Oscar-nominated One Potato, Two Potato), from a script by Hampton and Charles O'Neal (The Seventh Victim); some earlier drafts had been written by an uncredited Robert M. Fresco.

The crew included acclaimed cinematographer Karl Struss and editor Harry Gerstad. The monster make-up was designed by Ben Nye and Dick Smith.

Filming started on February 16, 1959. The film featured music by Irving Gertz, known for his numerous science fiction and horror film scores.

Garland, who also served as the film's narrator, noted that Jane Marvin was one of her favorite roles, although she noted, "The hardest thing in that movie was simply to keep a straight face".

Reception
The Alligator People has been given a mixed reception. On its release, Variety called it "a good program horror film" and praised its "good characterizations".

In his book Atomic Age Cinema: The Offbeat, the Classic and the Obscure, Barry Atkinson said that the film "served up a tasty dish to young horror buffs in the late 1950s.

While praising Struss's photography and the performances of Chaney and Garland, film historian Bill Warren criticized the monster and assessed The Alligator People as a "decently crafted and intelligently made program SF-horror film, sadly let down by misconceived makeup and perfunctory ideas".

Computer game
A 1983 computer game version was in development by 20th Century Fox, programmed by John Russel for the Atari 2600. However, for unknown reasons, the game was never released. The prototype for the game became a bit of a puzzle for prototype collectors as the first copy they found turned out to be a completely different game.

Talk:Efforts to impeach George W. Bush

Trump on Impeachment
"Property mogul and diehard Republican Donald Trump told CNN on Wednesday that President George W. Bush misled the US into the Iraq War and should have been impeached when the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terjen (talk • contribs)

Obama
This article doesn't mention Barack Obama once. That's kind of a problem. I know WP:DOITYOURSELF or whatever, but I just don't have the time. Bsimmons 666  (talk) 01:18, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Why in the world would it mention Obama? Soxwon (talk) 01:19, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, Obama never called for the impeachment of Bush, nor even hinted at it or responded favorably to any suggestion of it, that I can find. No connection, no place in the article. bd2412  T 02:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

HUH???!!!! What does Obama have to do with any of this? And why would his not being mentioned be "kind of a problem"??!!!! This person makes no sense at all! (Yakofujimato (talk) 22:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC))

 * This is because Obama opposed the WAR IN IRAQ, so thusly he would've opposed Bush. The obama point looks better in his biography, though.--Cymbelmineer (talk) 22:23, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

OR
I feel that this article, by its very nature is OR. Without a reliable source that describes this supposed 'Movement to impeach George W. Bush' as a movement (like you might find for the '60s anti-war movement, for example) we are left to cobble together any and all calls for impeachment, which is exactly what this article does. This is clearly OR, the description of a previously undocumented 'movement'.

I think the best solution is to rename this article Efforts to impeach George W. Bush or something like that and remove anything that is not an impeachment resolution or related to an official action. Bonewah (talk) 14:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. [[User:2829NE]] (talk) 02:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Bush has been out of office for nearly eight months now, and yet over the weekend I saw four cars with "Impeach Bush" bumper stickers. I have no objection to renaming the article Efforts to impeach George W. Bush, but impeachment is a political process driven at least in part by the sentiments of citizens, which relates the collective expression such sentiments by citizens to whatever official action follows. bd2412  T 02:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Sure, I cant argue with the fact that impeachment is a political process, but that is ok, because we can easily document politics. Collective sentiment, on the other hand, is not so easy to document without performing OR. Bonewah (talk) 13:30, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * That is simply inaccurate. The article never intended to prove there was a collective movement, the word movement was never being used in a collective sense, the lead section explained very clearly what the article covered. Article titles on Wikipedia are place holders and not meant to be taken literal. They nuance of an article title is explained in the lead section. Also, the article documented very well popular sentiment towards impeachment, this is an important part of American history that has been entirely wiped off of Wikipedia. Congrats. Green Cardamom (talk) 22:30, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

This whole thing falls seriously short of meeting the reasonable definition of a movement. It seems as if only fringe far left political figures like Wexler, Conyers and Kuchinich were pushing this. This effort never gathered the support of mainstream liberals or Democrats, and never had a realistic chance of success. To call this ill fated distraction a "movement" is a bit much. Nobody seriously thought that this would work, nor did anyone believe that this had much support, even with skewed, questionable Canadian polls to the contrary. I've seen polls that birthers (similar crackpots to the impeachers) have commissioned that state 55% of Americans believe Obama was born in Kenya. Should we give them a 'Movement to Impeach Obama' page??? This was a bunch of far left nonsense, and was never a widespread "movement".(Yakofujimato (talk) 23:03, 10 October 2009 (UTC))

 * Ok I am going to request a page move (this might be controversial, so ill avoid just doing it) on or about October 16 unless anyone objects here. My proposal is to move this page to Efforts to impeach George W. Bush and narrow it's scope to only concrete impeachment actions, like Wexler, Conyers and Kuchinich's impeachment attempts.  After this move I intend to remove at least the Treatment of detainees, NSA warrantless surveillance controversy, U.N. Charter and any other section not covered in the afore mentioned impeachment attempts. After that, I propose we expand the description of what was included in the impeachment attempts and describe them in more detail. Bonewah (talk) 13:35, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Check that, I will add the template today as there is a backlog of at least a few days. Bonewah (talk) 13:47, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

This article was edited and fought over by thousands of people while Bush was in office, it would routinely see dozens of edits per day for years on end. Now two or three editors have basically gutted it of all its former content without much discussion because no one cares anymore that Bush is no longer President. Anyway, the material is all there in the edit history for anyone who wishes to go back and look at what this article used to be like. Green Cardamom (talk) 22:30, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * What is a good date to read for a complete version? GangofOne (talk) 07:37, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * This version includes more extensive coverage of local community efforts and public opinion polls. bd2412  T 17:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Is there no statute of limitations on impeachment? Like, being in office? (For the record, I think W. belongs in Gitmo, but honestly...)  TREKphiler   any time you're ready, Uhura  08:10, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Link 1 404
Link 1 is no longer working. I will see if there is an alternate, or if not I will have to re-write most of the article.--Cymbelmineer (talk) 22:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Seems like this article should be renamed
This article is exclusively about one attempt to impeach GWB. The title implies there were multiple attempts. Perhaps the name should be changed?
 * The 'Political views and actions' section covers some other (admittedly minor) attempts at impeachment. Still, what would you propose as a name change? Bonewah (talk) 13:44, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

 * It is honestly sad that there is even a page like this, or one for Obama, or one for Trump, or any political figure where a vote never even took place, much less an impeachment itself. Creating a record of something that a few people attempted to do but were unable to achieve, with its own specific page, is an odd course of action and undeniably a by-product of the left-leaning viewpoints of Wikipedia that seriously tilted that way during the presidency of George W. Bush.

 * One could substantiate a case for a single page titled "Efforts to impeach U.S. Presidents" with some effectiveness, but it is really hard to justify the existence of any of these pages as stand alone articles, regardless of how much click-bait style articles the editors are using to source the material. Reading through the talk page on the Obama impeachment article is rather interesting, watching editors trip over themselves trying to find a way to justify both removing the Obama page, while defending the Bush or Cheney pages.  I say remove them all.RTShadow (talk) 16:34, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Irrespective of the outcomes of these efforts, these pages document historical facts well-reported in reliable sources. bd2412  T 16:49, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
