Quercus glauca

Quercus glauca (syn. Cyclobalanopsis glauca), commonly called ring-cupped oak or Japanese blue oak, is a tree in the beech family (Fagaceae). It is native to eastern and southern Asia, where it is found in Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, northern and eastern India, southern Japan, Kashmir, Korea, Myanmar, Nepal, and Vietnam. It is placed in subgenus Cerris, section Cyclobalanopsis.

Description
Quercus glauca is a small to medium-sized evergreen broadleaf tree growing to 15–20 m tall. The leaves are a distinct deep purple-crimson on new growth, soon turning glossy green above, glaucous blue-green below, 60–13 mm long and 20–50 mm broad, with a serrated margin. The flowers are catkins, and the fruit are acorns 1–1.6 cm long, with series of concentric rings on the outside of the acorn cup (it is in the "ring-cupped oak" sub-genus).

Cultivation and uses
It is planted as an ornamental tree in regions of Europe and North America with mild winters.

Its acorns are edible. When dried and ground into powder they can be mixed with cereals and used as flour. The roasted seeds can be used as a coffee substitute. The wood of Quercus glauca is a valuable fuelwood. Its leaves and stems are relished by deer.

Tarif ibn Malik

Tarif ibn Malik (طريف بن مالك) was an Arab commander under Tariq ibn Ziyad, Arab and Umayyad general who led the conquest of Visigothic Hispania in 711. Historical sources say he was of Arab origin. In July 710 CE, Tariq sent Tarif on a raid to test the southern coastline of the Iberian peninsula. According to legend he was aided by Julian, count of Ceuta, as a guide and emissary.

Of this raid, Edward Gibbon writes: "500 hundred Soldiers of Berbers origins passed over, in four vessels, from Tangier or Ceuta; the place of their descent on the opposite shore of the strait is marked by the name of Tarif their chief" which today is the city of Tarifa. They proceeded from there to reconnoiter the terrain along the coast as a possible entry point for a larger attack, traversing "eighteen miles through a hilly country to the castle and town of Julian; on which (it is still called Algeciras) they bestowed the name of the Green Island, from a verdant cape that advances into the sea". There they were hospitably received by supportive Christians—perhaps Count Julian's kinsmen, friends, and supporters.

The end result was a successful raid into an unguarded portion of Andalusia, followed by the safe return of the raiders with plunder and captives. This convinced Tariq that Iberia could be successfully conquered.

Tarif subsequently accompanied Tariq ibn-Ziyad, when the latter launched the Islamic conquest of Hispania and defeated King Roderic in the Battle of Guadalete in 711.

Empress Fu (Ai)

Empress Fu (傅皇后) (died September or October 1 BC ), formally Empress Xiao'ai (孝哀皇后), was an Empress during Han Dynasty. Her husband was Emperor Ai of Han, but they had no children, and their marriage was possibly not even consummated because he was homosexual.

Life
Empress Fu was the daughter of her husband's grandmother Consort Fu’s cousin Fu Yan (傅晏). She became his consort when he was still the Prince of Dingtao and later crown prince. After the death of his uncle Emperor Cheng in April 7 BC, he ascended the throne as Emperor Ai, and she was created his empress that same year on 16 June. Her father created the Marquess of Kongxiang.

By the time Emperor Ai died in August 1 BC, Empress Fu's main support, Consort Fu, had already been dead for many months, and she suddenly was all alone as her father and her other relatives were purged from the government by Wang Mang. Wang, who bore grudges against Fu and Ai, did not permit her to become empress dowager, and a brief time after Ai's death, he had her demoted to commoner status and ordered her to guard her husband's tomb—even though she was not personally involved in any of the political intrigues. She committed suicide that day.

Nyarubuye District

Nyarubuye is a district (akarere) of the East Province in Rwanda. Its area is 439 km2, and its population in 2002 was 49,565.

Massacre
In April 1994, many Tutsis sought refuge in a Catholic church in Nyarubuye. The local mayor, Sylvestre Gacumbitsi, was later found guilty of participating in the attack at the church and convicted of the crime of genocide and crimes against humanity. The ICTR found that between 15 and 17 April 1994, he had directed attacks against the Tutsi civilian refugees who had gathered at the Nyarubuye Parish and that he had personally took part in the attacks. On 15 April, he killed a Tutsi called Murefu. On 15, 16 and 17 April, he directed attacks by giving clear instructions to assailants to attack Tutsi who had sought refuge in the church. Among the assailants of 15 April were the Interahamwe, the gendarmes and the communal police.

On 7 July 2006, the Appeals Chamber of the ICTR sentenced Gacumbitsi to life imprisonment.

The church is now a memorial to the genocide.

A similar event occurred in a Catholic church in Nyange, Kibuye, which was bulldozed and attacked on 16 April 1994, killing more than 1,500 displaced Tutsis inside. The parish priest, Father Athanase Seromba, was convicted in 2006 of genocide for that crime at the ICTR.

Baguenaudier

Baguenaudier (French for "time-waster"), also known as the Chinese rings, Cardan's suspension, Cardano's rings, Devil's needle or five pillars puzzle, is a disentanglement puzzle featuring a loop which must be disentangled from a sequence of rings on interlinked pillars. The loop can be either string or a rigid structure.

It is thought to have been invented originally in China. The origins are obscure. The American ethnographer Stewart Culin related a tradition attributing the puzzle's invention to the 2nd/3rd century Chinese general Zhuge Liang. It was used by French peasants as a locking mechanism.

Variations of this include the Devil's staircase, Devil's Halo and the impossible staircase. Another similar puzzle is the Giant's causeway which uses a separate pillar with an embedded ring.

Mathematical solution
The 19th-century French mathematician Édouard Lucas, the inventor of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, was known to have come up with an elegant solution which used binary and Gray codes, in the same way that his puzzle can be solved. The minimum number of moves to solve an n-ringed problem has been found to be

 * $$a(n) = \begin{cases}

\dfrac{2^{n+1} - 2}{3} & \text{when }n\text{ is even,} \\ \dfrac{2^{n+1} - 1}{3} & \text{when }n\text{ is odd.} \end{cases}$$

Castle Amber (module)

Castle Amber is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure module designed by Tom Moldvay. This was the second module designed for use with the Expert D&D set. The module is in part an adaptation of Clark Ashton Smith's Averoigne stories, and set in the fictional medieval French province of that name.

In Castle Amber, player characters explore the haunted mansion of the Amber family and encounter new monsters. They are drawn into a cursed castle surrounded by a deadly mist and must navigate the demented and often hostile inhabitants to find a hidden portal to the world of Averoigne. Breaking the curse requires finding the inter-dimensional tomb of Stephen Amber. The module is inspired by the Averoigne stories of Clark Ashton Smith, Edgar Allan Poe's works, and Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber series. Castle Amber was first published in 1981 and was ranked the 15th greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure by Dungeon magazine in 2004.

Plot summary
The player characters explore the haunted mansion of the Amber family, and encounter new monsters such as the brain collector. The module is an adventure scenario set in a castle surrounded by an unusual gray mist.

During their night's rest on their way to Glantri, the player characters are unexpectedly drawn into a large castle surrounded by an impenetrable, deadly mist. This is the result of a curse the wizard-noble Stephen Amber (Etienne d'Amberville) put on his treacherous relatives for murdering him.

The only way to escape Castle Amber (or Château d'Amberville) is to explore the castle, putting up with the demented, and at times insane, members of the d'Amberville family and the other, often hostile, denizens, and open a hidden portal to the wilderness of the world of Averoigne, where the party can find the means to reach the inter-dimensional tomb in which Stephen Amber rests, in order to break the curse and return home.

In this world, magic is frowned upon, and spellcasters may come to the attention of the Inquisition.

Inspirations
The module's credits give special thanks to Clark Ashton Smith and Casiana Literary Enterprises, Inc., "for use of the Averoigne stories as inspirational material." Castle Amber (Château d'Amberville) draws from the Averoigne stories of Clark Ashton Smith. The main non-player characters of the module, the Amber family (d'Amberville in French, as an option), are not actually in any of Smith's stories, and were created by the designer to provide a link to Averoigne. A selected bibliography is included at the rear of the module.

In addition to the Averoigne references, there are individual encounters within the module that have allusions to stories written by others.

One of the encounters in the module is an homage to (or copy of) the climax of Edgar Allan Poe's short story Fall of the House of Usher, involving a brother who can hear his dead sister, named Madeline in both cases, crying out from the grave where she was buried alive. The overall module has "a decidedly Edgar Allan Poe feel to it." Another encounter calls to mind the title character and gruesome climax of Poe's Hop-Frog.

Many of the creatures also had a "Lovecraftian" feel to them.

The module also is inspired by Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber series. One character in the first series of rooms is clearly a representation of 'Caine' Amber from the books. The Gray Mist/curse mirrors main character 'Corwin' Amber's curse he utters after his torture and imprisonment by his family, and the room 'The Hall of Mirrors' from the module is inspired by an identical room from the Zelazny book series. Zelazny was aware of these similarities, and on March 15, 1982 he wrote a letter saying he "...satisfied myself that there is nothing actionable there. Ditto on TSR's D&D game, Amber Castle (sic)."

Publication history
Castle Amber was the second module designed for use with the D&D Expert Set. It was written by Tom Moldvay and published 1981 as a 32-page booklet with an outer folder and a cover designed by Erol Otus.

The module was developed by Dave Cook, Allen Hammack, Kevin Hendryx, Harold Johnson, Tom Moldvay, and Jon Pickens, and edited by Harold Johnson, Edward Sollers, and Steve Winter. It features art by Jim Holloway, Harry Quinn, Jim Roslof, Stephen D. Sullivan, and Erol Otus.

Mark of Amber was a sequel/remake of the original Castle Amber. It was reprinted in 1995 in the form of a boxed set, complete with an audio CD, map posters, and player handouts. It was part of the short lived Masters series. The Castle was renamed Château Sylaire.

Reception
Castle Amber was ranked the 15th greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004, and was fondly remembered in Dragon Magazine the same year.

In an earlier review in issue No. 35 of White Dwarf magazine, reviewer Jim Bambra rated Castle Amber 6 out of 10. Bambra saw the adventure as "an attempt to bring randomness back into D&D." Bambra considered Castle Amber a chaotic adventure and did not recommend it for purchase, noting that it "depends a lot on chance, leaving little room for skill, and at times can be deadly."

Fire and Ice (1983 film)

Fire and Ice is a 1983 American animated dark fantasy adventure film directed by Ralph Bakshi. The film, a collaboration between Bakshi and Frank Frazetta, was distributed by 20th Century-Fox. The animated feature, based on characters co-created by Bakshi and Frazetta, was made using the process of rotoscoping, in which scenes were shot in live-action and then traced onto animation cels.

The screenplay was written by Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, both of whom had written Conan stories for Marvel Comics. The background painter was James Gurney, the author and artist of the Dinotopia illustrated novels. Iconic American painter Thomas Kinkade also worked on the backgrounds to various scenes. Peter Chung, the creator of Aeon Flux, was a layout artist.

Plot
From their citadel Icepeak, the evil queen Juliana and her son Nekron send forth a wave of glaciers; this forces humanity to retreat south towards the equator. Nekron sends a delegation to Firekeep, the volcano citadel of king Jarol, ostensibly to request the king's surrender. In truth, the ice queen has orchestrated it as a ruse so that her subhuman troops can abduct Jarol's beautiful daughter, princess Teegra. Juliana feels that Nekron should take her as a bride to produce an heir.

Teegra escapes her captors and comes upon a young warrior named Larn, the only survivor of a village destroyed by Nekron's glaciers. The two grow close, but they become separated when Larn is attacked by a monstrous giant squid, and Nekron's subhumans recapture Teegra. She briefly escapes again, but runs into the witch Roleil and her son Otwa, who intend to use her as a bargaining chip for incurring Nekron's favor. However, the subhumans simply kill them and take Teegra to Icepeak. Nekron refuses to marry Teegra, in spite of his mother's plan, but keeps the princess as a hostage.

While looking for Teegra, Larn encounters Darkwolf, a mysterious masked warrior who pursues a personal vendetta against Nekron and Juliana. While Darkwolf holds off Nekron's horde, Larn continues his search and comes upon Roleil's remains, which briefly reanimate and tell him how to find the princess. At the same time, Jarol sends his son and Teegra's brother, Prince Taro, to Nekron to bargain for Teegra's release. With Larn as a stowaway on their ship, Taro and his emissaries reach Icepeak. Nekron refuses to release Teegra and insults her, inciting Taro to attack him. Using his magic, Nekron forces the prince and his delegation to kill each other.

Larn infiltrates the ice fortress, but fails to retrieve Teegra and is rescued by Darkwolf. They travel to Firekeep to inform Jarol, who decides to give them time to penetrate Icepeak and rescue his daughter until the glacier crosses the border to his realm, forcing him to release the lava from the volcano to destroy the advancing ice. With some help from Jarol's dragon hawk riders, they assault the fortress, but only Darkwolf manages to reach Nekron. Larn, stranded midway during the attack, finally finds and rescues Teegra from Juliana. Darkwolf slays Nekron, but Nekron's dying agony expands the glacier explosively, prompting Jarol to open the volcano's valves. The lava flow swiftly overcomes the glacier, obliterating Icepeak, Juliana, and the subhuman army.

Larn and Teegra barely succeed in escaping the cataclysm. When they encounter a wounded subhuman, Larn prepares to kill him, but Teegra stops him and they embrace with a kiss. From atop a cliff, a smiling Darkwolf briefly watches the pair, then disappears.

Production
By 1982, fantasy films had proven to be considerably successful at the box office, including The Beastmaster and Conan the Barbarian, and Bakshi had a desire to work with long-time friend and fantasy illustrator Frank Frazetta. Bakshi received $1.2 million to finance Fire and Ice from some of the same investors as American Pop, and 20th Century-Fox agreed to distribute the film based upon the financial longevity of Wizards.

Because Fire and Ice was the most action-oriented story Bakshi had directed up until that point, rotoscoping was again used, and the realism of the animation and design replicated Frazetta's artwork. Bakshi and Frazetta were heavily involved in the production of the live-action sequences, from casting sessions to the final shoot. The film's crew included background artists James Gurney and Thomas Kinkade, layout artist Peter Chung, and established Bakshi Productions artists Sparey, Steven E. Gordon, Bell and Banks. Chung strongly admired Bakshi and Frazetta's work, and animated his sequences on the film while simultaneously working for The Walt Disney Company.

Reception
Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote, "If you love comic books but can't bear the unnecessary bother of turning pages, Fire and Ice [...] may be for you. It would help if you were a sex-obsessed 12-year-old boy, but it isn't essential." Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film two stars out of four and called it "attractive to look at, but its slow-moving, predictable story makes viewing it much like reading a comic book with pages made of lead." He added that "the constant rhythm of Teegra being captured and rescued and captured and rescued is, after a while, more than a bit tiring." Sheila Benson of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "in spite of all the glorious washes in the background, which do indeed have the Frazetta look, Fire and Ice is as unintentionally funny a fantasy as you could hope for." Donald Greig of The Monthly Film Bulletin called the action sequences "impressive enough" but stated that "the animators' fetishistic fascination with the human form ... underlines the two-dimensionality of the script, for the artwork is certainly the only fleshing-out that characters receive."

Colin Greenland reviewed Fire and Ice for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Much more enjoyable is his earlier Wizards, now on video from CBS/Fox, a fantasy with a sly sense of humour. Compared with this, Fire and Ice is a bit glum."

Andrew Leal wrote, "The plot is standard [...] recalling nothing so much as a more graphic episode of Filmation's He-Man series. [...] Fire and Ice essentially stands as a footnote to the spate of barbarian films that followed in the wake of Arnold Schwarzenegger's appearance as Conan."

In 2003, the Online Film Critics Society ranked the film as the 99th greatest animated film of all time.

Home media
The film was released on VHS, Betamax, CED, and LaserDisc by RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video in 1983. GoodTimes Home Video re-released the film on VHS in 1988. In 2005, it was released on DVD by Blue Underground Entertainment on a limited edition two-disc set, paired with the documentary Frazetta: Painting With Fire, about the film's co-creator and producer, Frank Frazetta. The company later released the film on Blu-ray in 2008 with Remastered 1080p video and a 7.1 surround sound remix in both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Remake
In 2010, Robert Rodriguez announced that he would direct a live-action remake of the film. Bakshi stated that he did not want any involvement with the film, but he agreed to license the rights to Rodriguez. The deal closed shortly after Frazetta's death. On December 18, 2014, Sony Pictures Entertainment acquired the filming rights to the live-action remake version of the film, to be directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Fire and Ice Comic Series
In July 2022 Dynamite Entertainment announced they would be publishing a prequel comic series in collaboration with Frazetta Girls and Bakshi Productions. Less than a year later, in May 2023 Dynamite Entertainment announced Fables (comics) creator and Eisner Award winning writer Bill Willingham will be writing the series with artwork by powerhouse artist Leonardo Manco.

Fire And Ice #1 was published by Dynamite Entertainment in August 2023 with Issue #1 covers by Bill Sienkiewicz, Francesco Francavilla, Mahmud Asrar, Joseph Michael Linsner, Leonardo Manco, and the original Frank Frazetta poster.

"I discovered both Frank Frazetta and Ralph Bakshi at an early age. My awareness of Frazetta cemented the first time someone put a Conan book into my hands. I discovered Bakshi when almost everyone did, when the film Wizards was released. I was in college at the time and working a number of jobs to be able to afford it. One of those jobs was at a local movie theater. I got to see it about a dozen times, twice a night for a week, and it ignited something profound in me. Now, 50 plus years later, there was a chance to work with these story giants. I wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity to work with these Giants in the Earth."

Frazetta’s granddaughter, Sara Frazetta, owner of Frazetta Girls, expressed excitement for the project saying: "I've always had the desire to explore more character and world building around the film and doing this comic series has provided just that. Our team is truly out of this world. I'm so proud of everyone involved. There is so much heart and the process has been overwhelmingly positive."

Eddie Bakshi, son of Ralph Bakshi, shared equal excitement saying: "The dedication and talent has been jaw-dropping with this new series. The Bakshi Family is honored and thrilled to be able to see fire and ice Come back to life with such creativity. what an incredible storyline addition. We are all in for this release."

Lisa Niemi

Lisa Niemi Swayze (born May 26, 1956) is an American writer, dancer, choreographer, actress, and director. She is the widow of actor and dancer Patrick Swayze.

Early life
Lisa Anne Haapaniemi was born in Houston, Texas, the only daughter of six children born to Finnish American family of Edmond Melvin Haapaniemi, a Red Cross worker, and Edna Karin Haapaniemi (née Hyttinen), a registered nurse. Niemi has said her father and her mother's professions were her inspiration and encouragement. She graduated from the Houston Ballet Dance Company in 1974. She shortened her surname from Haapaniemi (meaning in English "Aspen Cape") to Niemi ("Cape") in 1977 for her theatre stage name.

Career
In the 1970s, Niemi and her husband pursued dance careers in New York City.

Films
Lisa Niemi Swayze wrote, directed and starred in the 2003 film One Last Dance alongside her husband. One Last Dance was based on Without a Word, a successful play written 18 years before which had won six Drama Critics Awards. Niemi said, "It was basically based on our experiences as concert dancers in New York, and it affected people a lot."

She co-starred in Steel Dawn (1987) with Swayze and co-starred in Beat Angel (2004). Niemi also appeared in Letters from a Killer, Next of Kin, Younger and Younger, ''Live! From Death Row, She's Having a Baby and Slam Dance''. Niemi directed Dance, a 1990 film.

Television
Niemi co-starred as Carla Frost in 23 episodes of the TV series Super Force from 1990 to 1991. She once again directed her husband, this time in an episode of his TV series The Beast. The episode, titled "No Turning Back", aired on April 9, 2009. It was his last performance before his death.

Books
On September 29, 2009, Niemi Swayze released a memoir, The Time of My Life, which became a New York Times Best Seller. The book was co-written by Patrick Swayze, and it was finished shortly before his death. On January 2, 2012, Niemi Swayze released another memoir, Worth Fighting For, which also became a New York Times Best Seller.

Personal life
At age 14, at the Houston Ballet Dance Company, Niemi met the owner and director's son, Patrick Swayze; the two eventually got married when she was 19 years old. Niemi and Swayze were married on June 12, 1975, and remained married until Swayze's death from pancreatic cancer on September 14, 2009. Shortly after they wed, the couple moved to New York City to pursue their dance careers until the late 1970s, when they relocated to Los Angeles, California. In addition to dancing and filmmaking, they ran a construction business and raised horses together. The Swayzes had no children.

In 1985, Lisa Swayze began living on a 5 acre homestead near the Angeles National Forest, along with a "menagerie of dogs, prized Arabian horses and rodeo cattle". She also had a 20000 acre ranch in New Mexico.

She is a licensed pilot and flew Swayze to his cancer treatments prior to his death. While filming One Last Dance in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Niemi was made an honorary citizen of the city. After her husband's death, she became the Chief Ambassador of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. In July 2011, she was made a Dame of the Royal Order of Francis I of the Two Sicilies.

On December 28, 2013, it was announced that she was engaged to Albert DePrisco, a jeweler. On May 25, 2014, the couple were married.

I started this page and added all content to date. Any comments, changes etc, please put here Confusedmiked 05:28, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

NPOV
the most recent edits by user:82.45.15.247 are very questionable. I'm just doing RC patrol though, I figured the frequentors of this article can resolve. - R Lee E (talk, contribs) 01:04, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Hi- I don't know how to add my opinion, but I hope this will do. As a Bristol resident, I think this article is good. But I would like to see all the links moved to the bottom of the page. Any thoughts? I'll leave it up to anyone else.

Hi.
Hi. I am user:82.45.15.247.

I have edited the "bristol urban culture" post so that it is a little more consistent with reality. I know this is unpopular, but there you go. I am however happy for my own edit to be edited on grounds of not wanting to cause offence, but this wholesale roll-back of changes has to stop.

The fact is that Bristol and it's "urban culture" does have another, less salubrious side to it, and I am not happy to see this whitewashed out of existance by self-serving, self-congratulatory nonsense. Bristol Indymedia in particular seem to be fond of censoring facts and points of view they don't like while spamming themselves everywhere and covering up less pleasant episodes in their history.

In general the posted article seems to be very much something for the tourists, the slummers, and the over thirty-fives. Again, I don't mince words, so I'm happy to have my somewhat acerbic comments moderated but not censored wholesale. I have in fact made several changes to this edit, could someone actually check it out this time rather than just silence other viewpoints?

Also for the record: I was not asserting that Banky's fans were blind, I was asserting that his CRITICS must be visually impaired.

Cheers

user:82.45.15.247

 * I don't have much to say about it. All I know is that there have been numerous reverts concerning your edits, everytime for POV pushing. I wouldn't be surprised if a RfC is started over this. "I was asserting that his CRITICS must be visually impaired." That statement in itself is bias and very POV. You might consider a rewrite. Frankly, I would suggest removing your edits altogether and moving on to other topics. - R Lee E [[Image:Flag of the United States.svg|25px]] (talk, contribs) 04:28, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * I've made some edits to the Indymedia section; imho user:82.45.15.247's critique would be great material for a blog, but doesn't fit with Wikipedia. Rather than getting stuck in an edit/revert cycle, let's try finding external resources to cite as backup for claims of controversy? Linking the Register's article is a start in that direction. If user:82.45.15.247 had a blog or external Web site where the POV attitude could be unconstrained, it'd seem reasonable to cite that from the article. FWIW, in my (non-insider) experience of Bristol Indymedia, they've done a good job with limited resources. Other bits of the article allude to various social problems in bristol; that'd be worth dealing with separately in another article, I think.

 * I've removed a load of stuff about Indymedia as it just read like an advert for the website. In addition, I think it would be better if stories about Indymedia weren't using Indymedia as a constant reference source, as it seems a little unreliable to do so. Dancarney 22:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

The Woods (2006 film)

The Woods is a 2006 American supernatural horror film directed by Lucky McKee and starring Agnes Bruckner, Patricia Clarkson, Rachel Nichols, Lauren Birkell and Bruce Campbell. Set in 1965, its plot concerns a wayward teenage girl who is sent to a New England all-girls private high school which holds an ominous secret related to the staff, history and woods surrounding the school.

Plot
In 1965, after burning down a tree in her yard, rebel teenager Heather Fasulo is sent to the boarding school Falburn Academy in the middle of the woods by her estranged mother Alice Fasulo and negligent father Joe Fasulo. The headmistress, Ms. Traverse, accepts Heather in spite of her father's bad financial condition. The displaced Heather becomes close friends with Marcy Turner, while they are maltreated by their abusive classmate Samantha Wise. During the night, Heather has a nightmare of a student named Ann, covered in blood, and hears voices that seem to be coming from the woods. The next day, Marcy tells Heather that Ann was taken to a mental institution after attempting to commit suicide, and that she'd been covered in blood.

With the help of Marcy, Heather eventually learns to adjust to her new school, even having fun at times. Ms. Traverse subjects Heather to special tests to see if she is "gifted", telling her that it is all part of her scholarship to the academy. The girls tell Heather a spooky story about the history of Falburn, which includes three young redheaded sisters who arrived at the school and turned out to be witches, killing the headmistress before leaving to the woods. Meanwhile, Samantha continues to torment Heather, who comes to despise her and fights back. Ann returns from the mental institution, and Heather finds her one day, rocking in her bed. Ann reveals that she is afraid she will be taken by the witches. She says she is cold, so Heather climbs on a trunk to try and close the open window over Ann's bed. A low fog rushes into the room and knocks Heather down, twisting her ankle, and she is taken to the infirmary. The next day, Heather finds Ann's bed empty, her place filled with dead leaves. She witnesses the headmistress lying to the police about Ann's disappearance, remarking that she is being taken care of.

This leads her to become suspicious and she tries to talk to Marcy about it. But Marcy acts strangely, and is shadowed by one of the teachers. Soon after, Heather finds Marcy's bed empty and covered in leaves. Later, she is confronted in the woods by Samantha, who reveals that she has actually been trying to protect Heather with her antics. She tells Heather that the school is led by a coven of witches who want to take all of the girls away. Samantha explains that she has called Heather's father to help her escape and that the milk is poisoned. The girls are both caught by a school mistress, who promptly takes Samantha away. Samantha is later found hanging from a bedsheet in the cafeteria. When a police officer comes to investigate, Heather tells him of the missing students. The officer confronts the headmistress, but she claims that the girls ran away. Another mistress "leads" the officer into the woods to find the girls, where he is killed by the living vines of a tree.

Heather's parents show up to take her home, though the headmistress tries to persuade them otherwise. On the way home, their car is mysteriously flipped and Heather is knocked unconscious. Alice is dragged out of the car by a living vine and kicks Joe in the head, knocking him out. Heather and Joe wake up in a nearby hospital. Before they can reach each other, Ms. Traverse has Heather dragged away, then slits her own hand and forces her black blood down Joe's throat, which puts him into a catatonic state. Heather returns to the school in despair. She drinks the milk that evening, but later vomits it back up, finding tree bark in it. Back at the hospital, Joe wakes up and vomits up Ms. Traverse's black blood, which also has tree bark in it. He quickly escapes and goes to find Heather. That night, Heather begins to hear voices again, and when she attempts to leave, a living vine captures her.

When she awakens, she is wrapped in vines in a large foggy room, next to Ann and Marcy, who are also held captive. All of the teachers appear and reveal themselves to be witches. Ms. Traverse is their leader, and she explains that their spirits have been trapped in the woods all these years, and they need to inhabit the bodies of young women to escape their imprisonment. Heather appears to be the centerpiece of her plan because she has the strongest powers among the gifted students. Heather is coerced into completing the ritual, and the vines begin to mummify all of the girls in the school. Before it can complete itself, Joe breaks into the room with an ax and begins to kill the witches. Heather breaks free from the vines and grabs the ax, proceeding to chop all of the witches into pieces. Heather and Joe then leave with all of the girls, walking down the road into the daylight as the school burns in the distance behind them.

The end of the movie states that Falburn Academy burned to the ground in 1965, while the surrounding woods were strangely left untouched.

Production
The Woods was shot in 2004 at Mels Cité du Cinema in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Release
The Woods had its North American premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal in 2006. The film's distributor, United Artists, planned for a theatrical release, but it was shelved after Sony Pictures bought out United Artists' parent company, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, in 2004. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released the film direct-to-DVD in the United States on October 3, 2006 following festival screenings.

Critical response
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 69% of 15 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 6.10/10.

Brian Holcomb of the independent film review website Beyond Hollywood wrote: "The Woods plays like a classic Lewton film of the 1940s, where the emphasis was on telling a good yarn without much ado and wrapping it up in a tightly wound 70 minutes." Film journalist Nick Schager noted that the film "proves to be one of the most polished and inventive horror flicks of the still-ongoing year, a synthesis of classical supernatural and sexualized imagery that expands upon, rather than simply regurgitates, its celebrated predecessors," and compared it to Suspiria (1977) and Carrie (1976). DVD Talk's Scott Weinberg praised the film's performances as "uniformly excellent" and also praised the cinematography and musical score.

Logan-Cache Airport

Logan-Cache Airport is an airport in the western United States in Cache County, Utah, located 3 mi northwest of Logan. It is owned under the Logan-Cache Airport Authority, formed by Inter-local Agreement between Cache County and Logan City in 1992. This organization is subsidized by the city and county, having no authority to tax or bond for additional funding. Revenues are derived from leases of land, buildings, fuel and maintenance fees. The airport was previously owned by Cache County and managed by county commissioners.

History & services
Western Airlines served Logan from 1946 until West Coast Airlines replaced them in 1959; West Coast pulled out in 1964. Key Airlines served the airport from Salt Lake City from 1964 to 1976. In that year, Utah carrier Transwestern Airlines had its company headquartered at the airport, with flights to their hub at Salt Lake City, until its acquisition by Horizon Air in December 1983.

Currently, scheduled services come from Ameriflight and Gem Air under contract for UPS and FedEx Express, transporting from several nearby states. Frequent charter flights occur on behalf of Utah State University's athletic teams and their opponents. Utah State also occupies several hangars on the north end of the airport access road for its fixed-wing and rotorcraft training programs, and operates the dispatch office in the main passenger terminal. The airport also hosts Leading Edge Aviation, which offers flight training, FBO services, and a pilot supply shop. There are also several independent CFIs based at the airport.

Facilities

Talk:Castle Amber (module)

Moved
I moved Castle Amber to it's own page, and also updated the entry, based on information from the module itself, and not from supposition that others are trying to attribute to the module's designer (Tom Moldvay).--Azathar 05:34, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Other Literary Allusions
I'll give you the Poe reference (though players' opinions don't necessarily make something true, I was hoping for some sort of citation from the author of the module, or perhaps Gygax even), but the Amber series, I don't see, and you own link showed that ppl also don't agree with it. Just because it's called Castle Amber doesn't necessary mean that its vbased on Zelazny's Amber series. I'm removing the Zelazny reference.--Azathar 04:39, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * OK. I'll look for stronger references before re-adding it.  I may go to the text of the module (yay, primary sources) again if there is anything obvious "enough".  We won't find Gygax or the module author claiming to have borrowed from Zelazny, since his works were still under copyright at the time :-) Nandesuka 04:54, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I just added a Zelazny reference, and then noticed this talk page. Interesting.  I always thought the Poe and Zelazny references were obvious and was never sure why they weren't mentioned in the bibliography.  Looking at the module text: "Note: The Amber family is not one of Clark Ashton Smith's creations and does not appear in any Averoigne stories. Their origin has been traced to Averoigne to aid the continuity of the module and to ease transition in and out of Averoigne in the course of the adventure."  Which to me means, the rather famous (at the time) name was taken from Zelazny but they didn't want to admit it.  Also, "The Wild Hunt" in the forest seems straight out of Julian's regular patrol/hunt in the Forest of Arden.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.105.200 (talk) 06:03, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

CAS Allusions
I know it's asserted that the module draws heavily on Clark Ashton Smith's Averoigne series. I'm unfamiliar with those works, and was hoping the article would point out some of the allusions. Sadly, the article merely glosses over the association. Maybe someone familiar with both CAS and the module could expand on it? -- DrGaellon (talk | contribs) 10:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Yellowdine, Western Australia

Yellowdine is a town located 402 km east of Perth, Western Australia on the Great Eastern Highway. The townsite is in the Goldfields-Esperance region, situated in the Shire of Yilgarn.

History
The town was initially planned in 1895 as a railway siding along the Coolgardie to Southern Cross railway line that was opened in 1896. Once gold was discovered at Mount Palmer close to Yellowdine in 1934 the government began to develop the siding as a town-site that was later gazetted in 1935.

The rest house at the railway station was partially destroyed by fire in 1947.

The Yellowdine Roadhouse was destroyed by fire on the 24th of December, 2023 from a suspected arson attack.

The name of the town is believed to be Aboriginal in origin, a misspelling of Yelladine, although its meaning is unknown.

Wide-leg jeans

Wide-leg jeans, colloquially called baggy pants, are a style of clothing popular from the early 1980s to the 2000s, and also during a brief revival in the 2020s

History
Beginning in the early 20th century, several styles of wide-leg pants gained rebellious connotations. During the 1920s, wide Oxford bags were favored by the Hearties of Oxford and Cambridge University because they could be put on over the knickerbockers then worn to play rugby football. In the US during the 1930s and 1940s, Black, Italian and Mexican zoot suiters, Pachuchos and hepcats wore very wide-legged high waisted pants to the dancehalls as a protest against wartime rationing, and because it was easy for gang members to conceal weapons beneath a baggy suit.

In modern fashion
In the 1980s, baggy jeans entered mainstream fashion as the Hammer pants and parachute pants worn by rappers to facilitate breakdancing. In the 1990s these jeans became even baggier and were worn by skaters, hardcore punks, ravers and rappers to set themselves apart from the skintight acid wash drainpipe jeans worn by metalheads. They were largely an underground trend in the early 1990s, but took off in popularity in the mid-1990s. The baggy jeans were very popular along with baggy bondage pants during the nu metal era which lasted from the late 90s to the early-to-mid 2000s along with pop punk during the same time. They continued to be popular in the 2000s, but by 2003 baggy jeans started to be replaced by boot-cut jeans and trousers among white men. However, they continued to be popular among African-American and Latino men throughout the mid 2000s until about 2013.

In the United Kingdom, during the 1990s fad they were known as "baggies". However, this term faded with the original fad and now they are generally known as Phat pants and "wide-leg jeans".

In the late 2000s, rap stars like Kanye West popularised a more refined indie-inspired look but baggy jeans continue to be worn by the raver and gangsta rap subcultures.

The style resurfaced in the late 2010s and early 2020s alongside other baggy attire; possibly due to the shift to more comfortable clothing during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic and retro revival fashion trends that started in the late 2010s like the Y2K which is a fashion trend that retrospects the late 90s and early 00s while modernizing it.

Dimensions
Wide-leg jeans and pants are at least 20" in circumference at the hem. Wide-leg jeans differ from bell-bottoms in that the entire length of the leg is large in circumference whereas flare or bell-bottom jeans become wider below the knee. Wide-leg jeans can be considered to be a variant of baggy jeans, which were also popular in the 1990s.

Super wide-leg jeans have a circumference at the hem of 23" to 26"; whereas extreme wide-leg jeans are as wide as 50".

Robert Gould Shaw III

Robert Gould Shaw III (18 August 1898 – 10 July 1970) was an American-born English socialite. He was the only child of Nancy Witcher Langhorne and Robert Gould Shaw II, a landowner and socialite. After his parents' divorce in 1903, he moved to England with his mother Nancy, who later married Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor and became the first woman in Britain to take her seat as a member of parliament.

Life
Robert Gould Shaw III was born on 18 August 1898 in Beverly, Massachusetts. Through his father, he was a grandson of investor Quincy Adams Shaw and cousin of Civil War Union casualty Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. His maternal grandparents were railroad millionaire Chiswell Dabney Langhorne and Nancy Witcher (née Keene) Langhorne.

Robert Gould Shaw III's father had a limited role in his life while he had a close, if occasionally difficult, relationship with his mother. His parents divorced in 1903, and in 1904 he moved to England with his mother Nancy where she married Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor in 1906, with whom she had five more children, including William Astor, 3rd Viscount Astor. In 1919, she was the first woman to take her seat as Member of Parliament and served as MP for Plymouth until 1945.

After moving to England, Robert Gould Shaw III was educated at Shrewsbury School. He was commissioned from the Royal Military College into the Royal Horse Guards as a second lieutenant on 21 December 1917, and was transferred to the Guards Machine Gun Regiment on 12 August 1918. He ceased to be employed with that regiment on 31 January 1919, and was promoted to lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards on 21 June 1919. On 9 March 1920 he was transferred to the Royal Horse Guards' Reserve of Officers, but he rejoined the regular establishment of the regiment on 24 September 1921. However, his increasing alcoholism caused difficulty, and he retired, still in the rank of lieutenant, on 17 July 1929.

Troubles and death
Robert Gould Shaw III had long had suicidal tendencies and his life mostly went adrift from an early point. In 1931, he was imprisoned for six months for homosexual offences, and his name was removed from the Army List on 17 July 1931. His alcoholism, his mother's death, and the death of his half-brother William in 1966 may have increased his suicidal tendencies. He killed himself on 10 July 1970. His ashes are buried in the Octagon Temple, the estate chapel of Cliveden.

John Singer Sargent did a 1923 charcoal portrait of Shaw in his military uniform. His mother gave the portrait to Alfred E. Goodey, art collector and Shaw's partner, and it was later sold in England in 2011 for £23,000.

It is also used as an overnight rest stop for truck drivers from Tanzania to Kigali and beyond. A small hotel provides basic accommodation, and there are two petrol pumps, a conference centre, a twice-weekly market and various bars and television halls.

It is also one of the sites the company Zipline uses for delivering supplies to medical centres around the area using drones.

Kayonza now has a Women's Opportunity Center. It was designed by architect Sharon Davis, with funding provided by Women for Women International which is based in Washington D.C. The November 2013 issue of the magazine Architectural Digest shares the story and images from Kayonza.

Edgecliff, New South Wales

Edgecliff is a small suburb in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Edgecliff is located 4 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Municipality of Woollahra. The postcode is 2027.

Edgecliff is surrounded by the suburbs of Double Bay, Woollahra, Paddington, Rushcutters Bay and Darling Point. The property prices are very high because it is close to the city and many homes provide views of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour).

History
Edgecliff takes its name from its geographic siting. The rocky cliff of the suburb was extensively quarried in the early day of European settlement.

The area was dominated for some time by the Glenrock property, on the north side of New South Head Road. Sir Edward Knox built Fiona in 1864 after having it designed by J. F. Hilly. It has been described as "a Classical Revival two-storey mansion" and was made of sandstone. Other elements of the estate included Glenrock, an Italianate residence designed by David MacBeath and built by John Marks circa 1870. There were also substantial gates of wrought iron and sandstone. The building was demolished when New South Head Road was widened, but the gates survived. Also on the estate was the Dower House, a Victorian Gothic Revival house of sandstone, built some time after 1842 by Whistler Smith. The estate is now the site of Ascham School, and the above items are on the National Estate.

In September 1894, a cable tram service opened, which operated from King Street in the city to Ocean Street in Edgecliff. The powerhouse driving it was located at Rushcutters Bay. Unlike other trams of the era which were driven by steam, the cable ran in a gutter between the tracks. The cars gripped the moving cable to advance and released it to stop. It operated until 1905 when the tram line was electrified. Edgecliff railway station opened in 1979, when the Eastern Suburbs railway line was opened from Central to Bondi Junction.

Heritage listings
Edgecliff has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:

The Alzheimer Case

The Alzheimer Case (also known as The Alzheimer Affair or The Memory of a Killer; De zaak Alzheimer) is a 2003 Belgian action thriller film directed by Erik Van Looy, based on the novel De zaak Alzheimer by Jef Geeraerts. It follows an assassin with Alzheimer's disease, who plans to retire but ends up becoming a target himself after he refuses to kill a young girl.

It was officially remade in English-language as Memory.

Plot
Angelo Ledda, a former hitman for organized crime, agrees to one last contract, despite his recently developed Alzheimer's disease. He is to kill two people; on killing the first and recovering a package from the first victim, he then learns the second victim is Bieke, a twelve-year-old girl pimped by her father, who had been recently busted, but then killed by police trying to escape. Ledda refuses to kill a child. Resultantly, his employer, Seynaeve, has another hitman kill Bieke and orders him to kill Ledda. Ledda kills the hitman first but only after the hitman kills a prostitute who had befriended him.

As a result, Ledda decides to kill Seynaeve. He also reviews the contents of the package, and discovers that his employer had Bieke and the first target killed to cover for several individuals who had used the services of the child. He decides to clean house by killing them all, several of whom are high-ranking government officials. Ledda's Alzheimer's condition (for which he takes an experimental drug) periodically impacts him throughout the movie, resulting in disorientation and his being seemingly forgetful of what he was doing for a brief period of time. It grows worse as the film progresses.

In his attempts to seek revenge upon his employers, Ledda contends with police pursuit. Two detectives in particular (Vincke and Verstuyft) seem to be one step behind him. Ledda toys with the police, although he ends up with a gunshot wound to the arm from Verstuyft because of attempting to talk to Vincke at one point.

Ledda kills all of his intended targets, except the last, a high-ranking government official, Baron de Haeck, who manages to get away because of Ledda's worsening Alzheimer's, which leads him to forget to put the firing pin in his silenced pistol when preparing for the hit.

Ledda is captured by the police, and between his worsening mental condition and his gunshot wound, is bed-ridden and in poor health. The prosecutor, Bracke, who is in the pocket of the Baron, tries to have a court-appointed psychiatrist kill Ledda, which results in Ledda making a hasty escape. Ledda ends up meeting the two detectives in a car, and gives them a clue as to the whereabouts of a tape from the safety deposit box which implicates the Baron in murder.

The corrupt police close in and surround the car, placing all inside at risk. Ledda decides to sacrifice himself by making a run from the car, and is gunned down. The movie ends with the detectives finding the tape and watching the Baron getting arrested.

Critical response
The film holds an 84% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with 68 reviews tallied. The critical consensus statement reads: "Even though The Memory of a Killer is standard genre fare, it is also engaging and stylish."

Roger Ebert gave the film three and a half stars out of four, praising the performance of Decleir, whom he compared to Anthony Quinn.

Remake
An American remake of the film directed by Martin Campbell and starring Liam Neeson began filming in Bulgaria in April 2021.
