The Appleseed Cast

The Appleseed Cast is an American rock band from Lawrence, Kansas. The band was founded in the early days of emo by singer-guitarist Christopher Crisci and drummer Louie Ruiz. The Appleseed Cast has steadily evolved over the release of eight full-length albums with Crisci serving as the main songwriter. The band has a frequently rotating lineup, with Crisci being the only consistent member since their conception. Currently the band's lineup includes Christopher Crisci, Ben Kimball, Nick Fredrickson and Sean Bergman.

Major acclaim first came in the early 2000s that earned them a 9.0 from Pitchfork for their album set Low Level Owl Vol I and Vol II. The band received further acclaim for their work on Two Conversations, Peregrine, Illumination Ritual, and others.

Formation and influences

The band formed in 1996 in Southern California with Crisci and Aaron Pillar joining bassist Jason Wickersheim and drummer Louie Ruiz under the name December's Tragic Drive (derived from lyrics of the song "Seven" by Sunny Day Real Estate). In 1998, the band – now billed as The Appleseed Cast – signed to Deep Elm Records out of New York before relocating to North Carolina, and released its debut album, The End of the Ring Wars.

Pillar said of the band's formative influences, "Early on, I think we were into Braid, Rainer Maria and Broken Hearts Are Blue, but I grew up on Depeche Mode and OMD, and I think [Crisci] was more of a Cure kid." He noted that the pair had a "shared love of [Led] Zeppelin and early U2", and cited Tortoise as an influence on the group throughout the 2000s.

Mare Vitalis
In 1999, the band relocated to Lawrence, Kansas without Ruiz, recruiting new drummer Josh "Cobra" Baruth. Later that same year the group entered the Red House studio in Eudora, Kansas, with producer Ed Rose, who would go on to produce the next four Appleseed Cast records. The end result was Mare Vitalis, the band's second full-length album. The album showed progression from the dynamics-heavy rock of The End of the Ring Wars. The album was a concept album on the movements of the sea – encapsulated in such song titles as "Mare Mortis," "Poseidon" and "Kilgore Trout" (also an allusion to the recurring Kurt Vonnegut character of the same name) —, the album is loved by fans, heavy on atmosphere, crescendo, subtly undulating guitar arpeggios and the intricate drumming of Baruth, who clearly brought a new dimension to the band's sonic palette.

The band completed Mare Vitalis in late 1999, but tensions were developing between the band and Wickersheim. In January 2000, Pillar asked his roommate, St. Joseph, Missouri-native Marc Young, if he would be interested in playing bass one show for the band. Young agreed, though the show they spoke of and agreed upon never materialized. Regardless, Wickersheim officially departed the group that same month with Young replacing him on the bass.

Low Level Owl and Lost Songs
After the Mare Vitalis tours, The Appleseed Cast once again entered the studio in late 2000 to begin work on its most ambitious project to date. Eager to fulfill their five-record deal with Deep Elm, the band embarked on a double LP, with Ed Rose once again recording. Low Level Owl Volume One was released on August 21, 2001, with Volume Two following on October 23.

The tracks were woven together into a seamless album-length soundscape with a noticeable post-rock influence. The complex vocal arrangements and enigmatic lyrics were buried in the mix underneath simple, repeated guitar riffs, keyboards, found sounds and Baruth's intricate drum patterns. The non-instrumental pieces containing were connected by ambient-influenced instrumentals. Both Low Level Owl albums were a progression from the more song-oriented Mare Vitalis and a complete shock, the previously disparaging Pitchforkmedia website gave the albums a glowing review. Some critics were put off by the intentionally repetitive nature of the guitar playing and the ambient instrumental interludes.

The band followed Low Level Owl with the release of Lost Songs the following year. The album was a collection of previously unfinished songs recorded shortly after the release of The End of the Ring Wars. In 2002 vocals and overdubs were added and issued as The Appleseed Cast's final release on the Deep Elm label.

Two Conversations
The Appleseed Cast signed with the New York-based indie label Tiger Style Records in 2003 and released Two Conversations shortly afterward. Touring keyboardist Jordan Geiger was officially credited as a band member on the album. Two Conversations was met with mixed reviews.

Some viewed the album with dismay, regarding the more conventional song structures, the less diverse sonic palette and the personal, relationship-driven lyrics as a blatant retreat after the no-holds-barred experimentation, depth and complexity of Low Level Owl. However, others saw the album as an assured combination of the driving emo-rock of their early work subtly embellished with elements of Low Level Owl's sound.

During the recording of the album and the subsequent tour, tensions mounted once again. Rumors began to surface in the spring of 2004 that drummer Baruth was no longer a part of the group and were confirmed on the band's website later that year.

Following the confirmation, the band went on hiatus. Crisci began working with his folk-influenced side-project Old Canes and Geiger returned to his band Minus Story. In the meantime Tiger Style Records faced financial difficulties and dropped their entire roster, including The Appleseed Cast after just one album.

Rebirth and Peregrine
Throughout late 2004 and much of 2005, little was heard on the band's situation. This began to change later in the year as news of drummer auditions began to spread. The band auditioned with many drummers including part-time Old Canes drummer Aaron Coker who later went on to tour with Reggie & The Full Effect. The position eventually went to the Casket Lottery drummer, Nathan "Nate Jr." Richardson.

With a new drummer in place, the band was signed by the Militia Group in 2005 and announced they were returning to the studio in October.

The recording sessions for Peregrine, The Appleseed Cast's sixth full-length album, were held in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, at Pachyderm Studio. The sessions were produced by John Congleton.

Crisci stated on the band's website "...I don't know if I've felt better about a record this early since Mare Vitalis." The album is arguably more eclectic than any previous release in the band's catalogue, the Low Level Owl indebted instrumental "An Orange and a Blue" sitting alongside the more conventional, guitar-driven "February" and the stark, electronica of "Mountain Halo."

Peregrine was released on March 21, 2006.

Richardson left the band in the early summer of 2006 and was replaced by Coker.

Sagarmatha
When asked about the next album (previously discussed as an entirely instrumental EP) in an interview, Crisci had said, "...the idea is still there, although it has morphed into a mostly instrumental full length.". Recording sessions were held at Black Lodge Recording in Eudora, Kansas, with Ed Rose after unsuccessful attempts to arrange John Congleton to helm the recording. Three demos, "Road West", "A Bright Light" and "Summer Before", were released as previews on the band's MySpace. Prior to the album's release, Coker left the band and Young followed shortly thereafter in order to return to school. They were replaced by John Momberg and Nate Whitman, respectively. Sagarmatha was released on February 17, 2009, and reached No. 25 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.

Low Level Owl Live and documentary
On November 23, 2009, it was announced that the group has signed to Graveface Records. On the same day, the site announced that The Appleseed Cast would be touring with labelmates Dreamend in spring 2010, "playing their two classic albums, Low Level Owl Volume I and II back-to-back, each in its entirety". The announcement also mentioned that the band would have a live album for sale on the tour. The band was to be the subject of a documentary to be produced by 7446 films in cooperation with Graveface Records. The film will document the band revisiting its seminal work, while also focusing on the creation of Low Level Owl Volume I and II and the journey the band has taken to this point. The film was scheduled for a 2012 release.

Middle States EP and Illumination Ritual
In July 2010, Momberg posted on the band's Myspace page that they were working on new material. On February 26, 2011, Graveface Records uploaded a video to YouTube containing a sound clip from the demo of the title track for Middle States. In the video description, they announced that Middle States would be released on June 7, 2011.

As of May 2012, The Appleseed Cast had begun working on recording another full-length album. They posted demos from their upcoming album to Bandcamp. Illumination Ritual was released on April 23, 2013.

The Fleeting Light of Impermanence and current news
The Appleseed Cast supported Caspian on a North American tour that ran from October 19 to November 19, 2016.

In January 2019, they announced they were working on a new album and released a new song, "Asking the Fire for Medicine". The Fleeting Light of Impermanence was released on June 28, 2019, on Graveface Records; the single, "Time The Destroyer", was simultaneously released on Bandcamp.

In Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, the band went on two tours opening for Sunny Day Real Estate.

Chain O'Lakes State Park (Indiana)

Chain O'Lakes is an Indiana state park on 2718 acre in Noble County, Indiana, in the United States. The park is located near the towns of Albion and Avilla and is 19 mi northwest of the northeastern Indiana's major city, Fort Wayne.

History
The desire by residents of Northeastern Indiana to have their own state park grew into a concerted effort to establish Chain O'Lakes State Park during the 1940s and 1950s. Various local government officials, civic organizations, chambers of commerce and newspapers from communities across Northeastern Indiana—including Albion, Columbia City, Churubusco, Kendallville, and Fort Wayne—began to promote and support the park's establishment. The Chain O'Lakes Joint Park Board began a massive fundraising effort, which collected funds to establish the park from counties across Northeastern Indiana. A significant amount of funds were collected specifically in Allen County—where Fort Wayne is located. Notable opposition to the park's establishment came from DeKalb County—a neighbor to Noble County—where officials refused to support a plan to protect the land surrounding the Chain O'Lakes because they wanted to build a state road on the land. Eventually, enabling legislation to establish the park made its way through the Indiana General Assembly. Indiana Governor Ralph F. Gates was an outspoken supporter of the effort to establish the park, continuing to promote the cause even after leaving office. Chain O'Lakes State Park was established in 1960. Then-Indiana Governor Harold W. Handley spoke at the park's opening ceremony, as did former Governor Gates.

Activities
As the name suggests, it is a park for boaters, with nine connecting lakes, and eleven lakes total. The lakes are kettle lakes, formed by receding ice sheets of the Pleistocene Epoch, which also made the steeply rolling hills and bogs of the park. Bowen Lake is the deepest at 65 ft, and Dock Lake is the shallowest at 20 ft deep. Outwash sediments, sediment from Canada, and muck/peat-filled bogs caused by the glaciers are accessible by the several miles of hiking trails. Powerboats on the lakes are restricted to electric motors only.

There are more than 10 mi of hiking trails. Cross-country skiing is available in the winter. There is one large campground as well as a Rally campground, a Youth Tent Area, and a canoe camp. There are also 18 furnished cabins available for rental. There is one swimming area in the park.

The Chain O'Lakes Correctional Facility was established inside of the state park in 1967. Located on the northeastern edge of the park, the facility comprises six buildings and has the capacity to house 140 adult male offenders, offering inmates educational and treatment programs. The facility provides work crews that help maintain Chain O'Lakes State Park, as well as the nearby Pokagon State Park in Steuben County.

Starting in 2011, Chain O'Lakes State Park has served as the site of The HUFF 50K Trail Run and Relay, the twelfth largest ultramarathon in North America.

Hampton by Hilton

Hampton by Hilton, formerly (and still commonly called) Hampton Inn or Hampton Inn & Suites, is an American chain of hotels trademarked by Hilton Worldwide. The Hampton hotel brand is a chain of moderately priced, budget to midscale limited service hotels with limited food and beverage facilities. Most Hampton hotels are independently owned and operated by franchisees, though a few are managed by Hilton. Hampton by Hilton is one of the largest hotel franchises in the U.S. , the Hampton franchise includes 3,000 hotels in 40 countries and territories.

Foundation and early years
The hotel chain was founded by the Holiday Corporation in 1984 as Hampton Inn, a budget hotel. Its first hotel was a two-story, exterior-entrance building with 128 guest rooms located in Memphis, Tennessee. In late 1989, after some financial difficulties, Holiday Corporation prepared to sell its hallmark Holiday Inn hotels and started the holding company Promus Hotel Corporation, which included Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, and Homewood Suites. With this change, Promus re-invested in the Hampton Inn brand and began its change from a budget hotel to a middle-market limited service hotel to compete with their freshly sold former brand. The hotel chain was the first of the mid-price hotels to offer free continental breakfast and the first to introduce the "100 percent satisfaction guarantee." By 1990, the Hampton Inn chain included over 220 properties with more than 27,000 rooms. Hampton Inn and Suites was introduced in 1995, which featured two-room suite style hotel rooms complete with living room and kitchen areas.

In 1999, Promus Hotel Corporation was bought by Hilton Worldwide for $3.7 billion.

Development since 2000
In 2004, as part of the $100 million "Make it Hampton" initiative, Hampton began upgrading its hotels including the production of an alarm clock which featured an easy-to-set alarm and an mp3 player hook-up. Other changes made during the upgrade were the switch to white bedding, adding hot food items to continental breakfast options and free high-speed internet to rooms. In 2012, under the "Perfect Mix" initiative, the company completed upgrades to the lobbies of its hotels adding more social space. Hampton continued to renovate its spaces with a campaign introduced in 2013, directed towards younger clientele that included in-room mini-fridges, new bedside tables with power access, updated bathrooms, and updated hotel exteriors. Hampton by Hilton was ranked in the top 5 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 from 2010–2015.

Today Hampton is in the budget to midscale lodging segment, designed to compete against other limited service brands like Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express, and Comfort Inn/Comfort Suites.

In 2020, three Hampton Inn locations were used to hold over 100 refugee children by the United States Department of Homeland Security prior to their expulsion.

Locations
, Hampton by Hilton includes 2,544 hotels in 30 countries and territories with 266,933 rooms, including 72 that are managed with 10,061 rooms and 2,472 that are franchised with 256,872 rooms. 2,231 of Hampton's properties are located in the US with 220,174 rooms, including 38 that are managed with 4,697 rooms and 2,193 that are franchised with 215,477 rooms. The brand's first international location opened in Niagara Falls, Ontario in 1993.

Starting in May 2007, the brand began to operate as Hampton by Hilton exclusively abroad at its locations in Canada and Latin America. In 2009, the first "Hampton by Hilton" signage was put in place in the UK with the opening of the brand's first European location. The brand continued to operate internationally as Hampton by Hilton until 2015, when Hilton announced that the official brand names of Embassy Suites and Hampton would include "by Hilton" at all of their locations.

In October 2014, the Hampton by Hilton brand launched in China through a licensing agreement with Plateno Hotels Group. The first of 400 Chinese Hampton hotels opened in 2015. A similar agreement with the Wasl Asset Management group will bring Hampton by Hilton to Dubai.

Talk:Longshot (Marvel Comics)

NPOV
Does anyone think this is NPOV? 'Longshot later joined the X-Men cast in the late 1980s. This situation came about due to Marvel's insistence on shoehorning any moderately succesful new ideas that they published into the established "Marvel Universe" (see Spider-Man hanging out with the Transformers). With neither Nocenti or Adams involved, the character joins the X-Men even though he is not a mutant.' --DrBat 01:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Never mind NPOV, there's at least two errors there. (1) Yeah, Spider-Man appeared in Transformers #3, but they quickly backed the big robots out the MU when the mini became an ongoing, and (2) Art Adams drew the story that placed Longshot in the X-Men, and (although I don't have it to hand to check), I'm fairly sure Nocenti edited it - SoM 10:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * She did - SoM 10:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, (3)the original Longshot mini-series had already established the character as part of the mainstream Marvel Universe, so the claimed motive for putting him in X-Men is completely invalid.--NukeofEarl (talk) 20:31, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Multiverse and counterparts
I am changing the article to offer what IMNSHO is a better explanation to reconcile Mojo's allegations with the Ultimate Universe Longshot. I am not sure whether Ultimate being canon or not counts unless and until there is actually some sort of contact between the two continuities, which to the best of my knowledge never happened. Luis Dantas 15:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If I recall, in one of the Exiles issues, where they were in the Timebreakers' dome, the Ultimate X-Men were seen on one of the various viewing screens (If I recall, it was seen in Hyperion's flashback when he told them how he was resurrected).--DrBat 04:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Joe Quesada and other Marvel officials have stated that the Ultimate Universe is its own reality/multiverse and has no ties to the regular Marvel Universe.

Everything is tied together in a single Omniverse. Marvel, Ultimate Marvel, DC, various animated universes, and supposedly even our own universe. Don't look at me like I'm crazy, that was established in a Fantastic Four comic years ago. Besides since Ultimate Longshot is just an Earth mutant he doesn't really conflict with the "One Mojoverse" concept.--Stranger Dan 23:59, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I believe Mojo was simply lying, because as we know now due to the recent Marvel handbooks, the Ultimate universe is in the Marvel multiverse (and in turn, the omniverse), thusly there are counterparts to Mojoverse residents such as Longshot. The Ultimate universe is designated as universe #1610 in the Marvel multiverse. And if that wasn't enough proof for you, at least 5 physical links have been established:

 * 1) In issue #37 of X-Men Unlimited volume 1, a barrage of X-Men characters from various dimensions come into the 616 universe temporarily. Among them are various X-Men wearing their Ultimate costumes/uniforms.

 * 2) The Ultimate X-Men appear on a monitor in the Crystal Palace base of the Exiles. Said monitors are used for monitoring activities in dimensions in the Marvel multiverse.

 * 3) In a recent issue of She-Hulk volume 2, She-Hulk mentions that the 616 universe was nearly replaced by an "Ultimate Universe" that certain higher powers had discovered.

 * 4) Probably the most important link established so far; the Ultimate Fantastic Four cross over into the Marvel Zombies universe, populated by zombie versions of classic Marvel characters. Later a zombie version of Wolverine joins an all-Wolverine based team of Exiles. And finally, the most important bit of information; the mainstream 616 Marvel universe team of Black Panther, Storm, the Human Torch, and the Thing (AKA the new post-Civil War Fantastic Four) cross over into the Marvel Zombies universe. Thus solidifying a connection between the Ultimate and mainstream Marvel universes.

 * 5) Also, in the Ultimate Marvel Universe (Earth-1610) / Supreme Power Universe (Earth-31916) crossover Ultimate Power, the Earth-712 Squadron Supreme crossover into Supreme Power Universe, in which characters from the Ultimate Universe have crossed into prior to said event.

 * So there you have it, the Ultimate universe is without a doubt a part of the Marvel multiverse, and as such, alternate versions of Longshot, Mojo, etc, do indeed exist. --156.34.76.10 06:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

"Supernatural Attractiveness"
Is it actually stated anywhere in the comics or other official materials that Longshot has special attraction powers? It seems far more likely that women are attracted to him because he's handsome and has a fun personality. Kouban 15:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Bandolier
Do we really need the discussion of how various artists have shown his bandolier or the exact number of pouches? Seems a little too nit-picky to me. If there are no objections I'll remove it. Noclevername 09:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I second, and will remove it. Kouban 21:13, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Exiles
I recommend the Exiles section be rewritten by someone who is an expert with the subject. Lots42 01:15, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I removed this portion:

"During the visit to the Squadron Supreme universe, he is easily defeated, has no role in saving the day or helping, and only speaks once."

It does not fit nor contribute in any way to the Exiles section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.150.248 (talk) 17:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Longshot
If the X-Factor Longshot appereances were -all- Skrull, then it should not be mentioned in this article. Lots42 (talk) 09:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

IN the beginning section of the article it states he has a relatively well defined archenemy, but in the article it never tstates who the archenemy is —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.25.218 (talk) 02:02, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

At least one work?
I'm removing the following statement: "Ann Nocenti, an editor at Marvel Comics in 1985, wrote Longshot at a time when, according to Arthur Adams, Marvel expected its editors to have written at least one work." The main problem is not that the sentence has no citation, but that its implications make no sense. By the time Longshot debuted, Nocenti already had Beauty and the Beast, a stint on Spider-Woman, and a half-dozen fill-ins and anthology tales to her credit. So this supposed policy of Marvel's would have had no bearing on her. Anybody know anything more about this, please post here.--NukeofEarl (talk) 20:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Origin
In New Mutants Special #1 (1985), published on January 1, 1985, on page 23 Warlock has thought bubbles that say:

"Even with integral systems functioning at peak efficiency, locating self's friends will be a real *Longshot*. In that case, self better look the part.  Query, is this humor?"

He also shapeshifts to look like Longshot.

This is 8 months before Longshot #1, which came out in September 1985. Is this the first reference to Longshot? If so, was it meant as a reference nobody would understand? It's couldn't qualify as Longshot's first appearance because it's Warlock shapeshifting to Longshot, but it might be worth mentioning it if the first reference to Longshot appears 8 months before his first appearance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.58.228.51 (talk) 08:15, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Where did you get the "January 1, 1985" publication date for New Mutants Special Edition? I'll give you 50 to 1 odds that the "January 1" part is a placeholder. Three reasons: (1)The comic itself only provides the year, 1985. (2)Database-style websites commonly use "January 1" as a placeholder when only the year is known, to make it look like their information is more comprehensive than it actually is. (3)Adams has stated many times that the Longshot limited series was his first professional assignment.--NukeofEarl (talk) 20:09, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The special was part 3 of the The Asgardian Wars. Part 1 was released December 1985. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:22, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm, now that is odd. Both the Special Edition and Uncanny X-Men Annual #9 are clearly cover-dated 1985, which is consistent with the dating of the other X-Men annuals. And it's established elsewhere (though I can't remember where) that the X-Men/Alpha Flight limited series was actually created during Paul Smith's run on X-Men, back in 1983, and was delayed due to production issues or something. So... did Marvel actually wind up publishing the story where Loki tries to get revenge on the X-Men before the story where he meets the X-Men for the first time? If so, that's pretty crazy. I'm going to see if I can dig up the "Bullpen Bulletins" which announced the X-Men/Alpha Flight limited series... maybe those issues got cover-dated wrong...--NukeofEarl (talk) 16:46, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Found the answers. The December 1985 Marvel Checklist has the New Mutants Special Edition, X-Men/Alpha Flight #1, and Longshot #4. The January 1986 checklist has both X-Men Annual #9 and X-Men Alpha Flight #2. So in sum: Yes, Marvel published a story in which Loki pursues revenge against the X-Men before publishing any prior encounter between the two. No, New Mutants Special Edition is not Longshot's first appearance.--NukeofEarl (talk) 17:03, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 16 June 2019
I'm not sure if these trolls are serious but this page is about Longshot and of the numerous nonsensical replies I have received "Luck is not a power." takes the cake as Luck is primarily all most comic readers who don't care much about him thinks he does. Boz seems to agree so I must believe Boz has never read an X-men, X-factor, X-anything in his or life. Therefore I wonder why they have the power continuously lock the article that is poorly written, mostly about an unauthorized convention interview with Ann Nocenti, and labels him a psychic who only has psychometry as a power. Below the bullet list itself is another powers/abilities list which gives him the powers of Wolverine, magic, psychic ability, and over explains what luck is when even a 3rd grader knows what luck is.

I've tried to edit this page a few times as someone who loves Longshot and they won't let me. I don't know if they get text message alerts every time I edit the page but they accused me of warring and they're the ones reversing any edit almost as soon as they're made. Maybe you should update everyone on what a war is because it seems the reversals that come right after someone else's edit is far more "warring" than merely trying to edit a page in the first place.

I've already made a report as this has all been rude and a gross abuse of power. Any further abuses will be reported as well. Anyone who's done any research into Longshot will know this article is way off and almost reinvents the character altogether the 90s comics have evolved him way past anything written on the page.

Finally he's half Arize(one person not all Spineless-Ones) and half human mutant which gives him two mutant abilities since Arize is almost a mutant. Arize gave him two X-genes unlike any other mutant in Marvel History by splicing DNA. So nothing I said about his powers is incorrect. Any Longshot doesn't heal that fast which is why I removed it he's been hurt often, you know he's hurt, and he doesn't bounce right back when he is. He rarely is hurt because he's lucky. He's either saved or saves himself through luck. When he's hurt he's hurt. Stop turning everyone into Wolverine with extra abilities. These articles are grossly irresponsible while trolls maintain that they are doing God's work by fiercely defending incorrect information on the internet. Silly at best, childish no matter what. I know it's just comics but the movies may be based on these articles as writers and directors do not have the time to read thousands of comics or take the word of others as source material.

Citations are required and yet the citations on this article don't actually prove a thing. I tried linking citations from actual comics containing material I had written. If you aren't willing to look up the citations then why are you refusing anyone else the right to edit this page?

 * Keep, good substantial stub, no contest. Christopher Parham (talk) 05:51, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, concise and completely adequate coverage of the topic. Inclusion in wikipedia should be determined by the kind of things people would reasonably hope to find in it. Kappa 07:03, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. Even at this short length it is rambling and padded - "Here is a quote from the St. Anne home page" it says. Better off merging into a wider overview of such schools - possibly to a new Catholic schools in Seattle rather than the Education in Seattle table. Don't waste the time of people reading the pages - all we need from the current article is name, founding date, age range taught and number of students, and you can do that in a table with the rest of the Catholic schools in Seattle (since there are four catholic high schools, I'd assume there are a number of catholic primary schools). The rest is waffle. Average Earthman 09:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Please do not nominate any more schools. It is a waste of everyone's time. CalJW 09:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge, local grocery shops are more important to their community than schools. Can't go to school if you're dead of starvation. Just because something is provided as a public service and involves children or something equally cute doesn't mean it's more important than any local business, or the public gasworks for that matter.

 * Keep. Seems perfectly encyclopedic to me. Why are we still nominating schools for deletion? --Centauri 02:14, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. With every single one of the articles listed in the September 21 mass-nomination of elementary and middle school articles now closed as a no consensus keep, the success rate of school deletion listings has dropped from its previous low of 13% earlier in September to 11% now.  And from now on nobody on Wikipedia will regard elementary school deletions as a pushover. So far for September, one school article has been deleted for 49 kept.  The deleted article was a hoax. --Tony Sidaway Talk  02:19, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it may almost be time to re-open a wide-ranging debate about Policy. Given the survival of almost all schools at the AfD process, the chronic nomination of schools (particularly mass-nominations) is steering very close to disruptive behavior, going forward. I think the question needs to be put to those that do not believe schools to be notable institutions in their own right, how many elementary schools have to survive the AfD process in order to establish a "rough concensus" that school articles (and stubs) should not be deleted? I'm not merely asking this rhetorically, but how many AfD votes that do not result in article deletion are necessary to establish "rough concensus" to "not delete" (as opposed to a concensus to "keep")? An honest and open debate on that question will soon need to begin, in order to end the abuse of AfD with multi and mass-nominations of school stub articles that will doubtless survive the AfD process. The issue is not whether schools should be debated on "their own merits" but whether or not "elementary schools are non-notable" is a legitimate reason to nominate an article (or 21 of them in one day) for AfD. If a policy can established on that question, then we could actually debate each school on it's merits as an article.--Nicodemus75 15:41, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * "elementary schools are non-notable" is not a valid reason to put one on AfD, but "this elementary schools is non-notable" is a good reason. However, it's impossible to actually do this at the moment, because of the large "schools are notable by definition" movement. It is clear that the continuing nominations of NN schools for AfD indicate a sizable minority of Wikipedians disagree with the premise that schools are inherently notable. A middle ground is required - as has already been suggested, a page with a table of schools in a particular district (and other misc. info like roll size, founding date, etc.), and any notable schools can be linked to from their entry on that table.--inks 23:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's that simple. Vegaswikian 06:04, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Also simple. Why people wage a useless war to fight something wanted by a large portion of the community still baffles me.  I don't like or dislike school articles, but I see reasonably that enough folks do such that they will always live. Xoloz 07:40, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I thought schools were not to be deleted any more, it wastes time. Let us vote on an offical policy to have schools not be deleted just for being a school article, I'm sure that policy will pass if someone puts it to a vote ;). --ShaunMacPherson 08:02, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. As per User:Twang. This topic is in grave danger of becoming "Keep articles on schools, because we always do, it's tradition", if we just fast forward a few years :) --inks 08:28, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * In grave danger? This has already happened, even if some haven't caught on yet. Because WP embraces consensus (and keeps by default unless ~70% favor deletion), and because enough committed editors care about these articles (claiming schools are public institutions, and ipso facto, notable), these articles will almost always stay.  NB: I don't care, really; I don't know whether I think schools are notable, but I understand that enough people do such that a decision has effectively already been taken.  Soon enough, indifferent editors like me will understand the same, and this rough keep consensus will become policy.  Xoloz 08:41, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The problems with a broad "keep articles on schools" policy is the inevitable extension to encompass primary schools, kindergardens, creches, technical schools, military schools, vocational colleges, language schools, art schools, schools for the gifted (and not so gifted) and other innumerable variations of organised education. I would personally prefer each article to be debated on its own merits, which happens for just about everything else. A quick look at the comments on this page suggests that I'm not alone here (although I am outnumbered) :)--inks 09:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the fear of extension to kindergartens and language schools is exaggerated. I don't see why you want to debate every single article on wikipedia "on its merits", there are far too many new articles to do that. Kappa 12:48, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Over the past year the argument has shifted from just keeping all secondary schools, to now keeping primary schools as well- I fail to see why this trend will not continue. The problem with school article votes is that there a lot of people who believe schools are always notable simply for being a school. A minority of the people who bother voting on these articles believe that school articles should demonstrate notability in the same way bands, websites, etc have to (i.e. they should be more notable than the average). This is yet another average school, so delete. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --G Rutter 20:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think your belief that there are a lot of people who think kindergartens are always notable for being kindergartens is mistaken. Kappa 23:55, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, we now have a majority who think elementary schools are always notable for being elementary schools. Perhaps kindergardens might be a bit of a stretch, but the point regarding "definition creep" is still valid. We debate every other AfD entry on merit, it seems odd to exclude schools from this process.--inks 00:12, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * We don't debate villages, or universities, or metro stations, or major league baseball players, or pokemons, or Simpons episodes, or battleships... Kappa 00:30, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we should. I Agree to disagree, and appreciate your comments :) --inks 00:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Kappa, you have not been here long enough to remember when even high schools had to meet notability criteria. At that time, those who expressed concerns that elementary schools would be next on the list if high schools were granted automatic right-to-exist status were pooh-poohed. Look, however, at the last spate of AfD nominations, and the comments made by users such as yourself. I will not be surprised at all when arguments begin to be made for the automatic inclusion of kindergartens and daycares, on the sole ground that they are "inherently notable". This is what I fight. I have no objection whatever to articles on genuinely notable schools. I would have no objection to an article on a genuinely notable daycare or kindergarten either. At the same time, I oppose the blanket inclusion of any public institution. And yes, if I had my druthers, battleships, Simpsons episodes, and baseball playeres would all have to meet entry criteria as well. It is, however, a disingenuous argument that just because they are currently immune from AfD, so too should something else be. (Oh, and trust me, pokemon characters are not all sacrosanct. I've happily seen a few go into the furnace recently.) Denni ☯ 01:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I feel motivated to speak in Kappa's defense here. Kate's tool says he has been here since Sept. 2004, and that you've only been here eight months longer, Denni.  No offense, but I do believe it's natural and expected for consensus to evolve, and I think its a bit irrelevant to refer to an older state of affairs that apparently existed 21 months ago, but had dissolved as early as 13 months ago, as if it were of precedential value.  On a related note, it seems to me that the "rump" of opposition that continues to fight high schools only serves to promote other schools.  Those who oppose schools rarely make any distinction among grade-levels, so why should their adversaries. Xoloz 22:47, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I think Kappa is perfectly capable of speaking in his own defense if he chooses to. Denni ☯ 01:51, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks Xolox well put. As I said, I think the fears of people claiming daycares to be "inherently notable" are exaggerated, but the most likely way to create such people is by continually attacking educational institutions as non-notable. The idea that consensus should be torn up on baseball players, Simpsons episodes etc, seems an incredibly retrograde step, exposing every editor who would try to improve such articles to a semi-random threat of deletion. Kappa 02:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Uh....so you mean to say that if we keep saying X is non-Notable, people will tend to think the opposite??--inksT 03:51, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If you keep saying "non-notable, delete" about things that people think should be kept, it will reduce the amount of notability they demand from any topic. Kappa 04:24, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If you keep saying "notable, keep" about things that people think should be deleted, it will increase the amount of notability they demand from any topic. Nobody wins, and Wikipedia loses. I think consensus is transient and relative to a particular article - to try and extend it to a class of articles results in the current problem. Not all schools (or Pokemon) are created equal.--inksT 05:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You could call it "transient" and "relative" but to me it seems a lot like "inconsistent" and "arbitrary". Kappa 05:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If you agree that consensus is "inconsistent" and "arbitrary", how can you then state that there exists consensus on school articles?? *confused*--inksT 01:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Consensus on a class of articles is more consistent and less arbitrary than semi-random decisions on each one. However, I certainly don't claim consensus exists on schools, the deletionists reject all attempts to build it. Kappa 10:36, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: Perhaps a worthwhile mental exercise when considering AfDs relating to institutions is to imagine the subject as a person. In this case, we would have "St Anne's School is a teacher who lives in Seattle. She is five foot four, has brown hair and blue eyes (this is the equivalent of the data on the school's ethnic makeup). She thinks she's a very good teacher." Would that be notable? The fact that the school is a few thousand times bigger than a person makes no odds - zero notability multiplied by a thousand equals zero notability. --Last Malthusian 13:28, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * that is your opinion lm but not one that really holds up because schools are not humans it is kind of like comparing a can of apple sauce and an apple sauce factory Yuckfoo 14:34, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not so much trying to argue notability or lack of, but suggesting a different approach: the question of whether these articles contain any encyclopaedic information. Ethnicity data for a school or an American county may look impressive, but without some kind of "value-added" it's no more useful than someone's eye colour. And my other argument stands: if an entity consists of several thousand people, it means nothing if they're all non-notable. --Last Malthusian 16:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm concerned ethnicity data for an American country or a school adds a great deal of value. It tells me a lot more about a person or community than eye color does. Kappa 02:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Why? It's raw data, with absolutely no value. "The high proportion of Hispanics in this school/county has created ethnic tension" or "His blue eyes secured him the role of Inspector Knacker in Crime Drama X" are useful information, but this is completely absent in this case. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --Last Malthusian 10:13, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I feel I know a person better if I know their ethnic background, and the same for a school or a county. If it was a university in Kazakhstan, wouldn't you like to know what proportion of students were Kazakhs and what proportion were Russian? Kappa 17:21, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Taganskaya (Koltsevaya line)

Taganskaya (Тага́нская) is a station on the Koltsevaya line of the Moscow Metro. It opened on 1 January 1950 with the first segment of the fourth stage of the system. The station is named after the Taganka Square which is a major junction of the Sadovoye Koltso.

Designed by architects K. Ryzhkov and A. Medvedev, this pylon station was built with the post-war flamboyance in mind, the overall design is based on the traditional Russian motives in decorations. The central feature of the station are 48 maiolica panels located on each face of the pylon. (works of Ye.Blinova, P. Kozhin, A. Sotnikov, A. Berzhitskaya and Z. Sokolova). These contain apart from floral elements, profile bas-reliefs of various World War II Red Army and Navy servicemen each dedicated to a group such as pilots, tank crews, sailors etc. The color gamma is balanced in such a way that the panels facing the central hall are on a blue majolica background, whilst the platform hall panels are monochromatic. Lighting comes from a set of 12 gilded chandeliers in the central hall with the same blue majolica center. The remaining decoration of the station include a cream-colored ceramic tile on the walls, powder colored marble on the lower pylons and also on the walls, and a checkerboard floor layout of black and gray granite.

The end of the central hall once had a large sculptural group Stalin and youth, however this was replaced in 1961 by a new artwork of the same authors (P. Baladin and Ye. Blinova) depicting Vladimir Lenin, Coats of arms of the Soviet Republics and images of Hero-Cities Leningrad, Stalingrad, Sevastopol and Odessa. This was also taken down in late 1966 to make way for a transfer to the newly opened Taganskaya of the Zhdanovskaya line. Further transfer was opened in 1979 by adding a stairwell into the middle of the central hall for the new station Marksistskaya of the Kalininskaya line.

Because the Taganka Square is located on the hill, in order to conveniently place the large vestibule, and also preserve a nearby heritage building, the escalator descent had to be broken, and an intermediate hall was added by placing a large cylinder and gradually lowering to the required depth. After a dome was added, the interior work on the new lobby began, the walls of which are faced with Altai marble Oroktoy with Syringa shade, and the pilasters from white marble. The dome contains a large ceiling fresco, Victory Fireworks by A. Shiryaeva.

On 18 November 2005 the vestibule was closed for restoration, during which old escalators (installed in 1949) were replaced. All of the decoration features were renovated, and the upgrade included new turnstiles, ticket offices and security upgrade. The station was re-opened on 20 December 2006.

It was the deepest station in Moscow Metro from 1950 until 1958.

Popular culture
In 1991 the rock band Lyube recorded the song Taganskaya Station about the station in its debut album titled Atas.

God (Australian band)

God (also stylised as GOD) were an Australian punk rock band formed in 1986 by Sean Greenway on guitar and vocals; Tim Hemensley on bass guitar, drums and vocals; Joel Silbersher on guitar and vocals; and Matthew Whittle on bass guitar, drums and vocals. All four were 15-16 at the time. Their signature song, "My Pal", was released as their debut single in January 1988. Their sole studio album, For Lovers Only, appeared in December 1989 after the group disbanded. Sean Greenway died of a heroin overdose on 21 January 2001, aged 30. Tim Hemensley also died of a heroin overdose, on 21 July 2003, aged 31. Whittle curated their 2× CD compilation album, GOD, in February 2010.

History
God were formed in Melbourne in 1986 as a punk rock quartet by Sean Greenway (p.k.a. Sean Scorpion) on guitar and vocals; Tim Hemensley (p.k.a. Meatcleaver Boy) on bass guitar, drums and vocals; Joel Silbersher (p.k.a. Joel Rock'n'Roll) on guitar and vocals; and Matthew Whittle (p.k.a. Matty Mustang) on bass guitar, drums and vocals. All four were 15-16 at the time. Hemensley had been a member of Royal Flush (with Roman Tucker, later of Rocket Science), Greenway and Whittle were members of Foot and Mouth, and Silbersher was a DJ on community radio, 3RRR.

Bruce Milne of Au Go Go Records, who also ran a shop front to sell recordings, met the group's members. He signed them to his label, which issued their debut 7" single, "My Pal", in January 1988. It was written by Silbersher, and received favourable reviews, which sold in the thousands to become, "an enduring Australian underground classic." Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, observed, "[they] had an alternative #1 hit on their hands before they were even old enough to get beer riders at their gigs! 'My Pal' was the third biggest selling alternative single for 1988."

Andrew Stafford, writer of Pig City: from the Saints to Savage Garden, listed "My Pal" at No. 24 of his "Australian Songbook" in December 2011. He described how, "Silbersher had this song's circular five-note riff in his head for years before one day, in the shower, the lyric came in a rush: 'You’re my only friend / You don't even like me!' Recorded when most of the band were 17 (the video above captures Silbersher with braces still on his teeth)." Stafford felt, "it was such a towering feat that, unfortunately, it overshadowed everything else they ever did." Cover versions were recorded by several artists: Magic Dirt (1997), Violent Soho, Peabody, Bored!, A Death in the Family, the Hollowmen, and Bum (from Canada). Andrew Mueller of The Guardian declared, "[it] started out as an obscure 7" single and ended up revered as a garage band classic, the Aussie equivalent of 'Wild Thing'."

God released an eight-track extended play, Rock Is Hell, in December 1988, it appeared in four different cover designs, one by each band member, due to the members' inability to agree on a cover. McFarlane felt, "[it] suffered from slop-bucket production values, but was another statement in God's quest for the ultimate so-bad-its-good trash ethic." Rock Is Hell was variously praised and panned by critics, but still sold respectably.

Their full-length studio album, For Lovers Only, appeared in December 1989, via Au Go Go Records which, "boasted stronger production and songs." Although God had disbanded by that time, it was released on vinyl by three European labels. The band's last gig was at the Central Club on 30 July 1989. Au Go Go later released, For Lovers Only, on CD with "My Pal" and most of Rock Is Hell, as bonus tracks.

Greenway founded the Freeloaders with members of the Philisteins before releasing an album with The Yes-Men, which included former members of The Meanies, Guttersnipes and The Proton Energy Pills. Hemensley joined fellow punk rockers, Bored!, in late 1989 on bass guitar and vocals, alongside Justin Munday on drums, John Nolan on guitar and Dave Thomas on guitar and vocals. McFarlane felt he "added much to the band's charisma and sense of arrogance." Hemensley and Nolan formed Powder Monkeys in Melbourne in 1991. Silbersher formed Hoss and then Tendrils, he released solo albums, and worked with Tex Perkins. Whittle played with Patterson's Curse, Sauce, Ripe, Offal Pump, Baby 8 and Melwayholics Anonymous.

Sean Greenway (born 4 December 1970) died of a heroin overdose on 21 January 2001, aged 30. Tim Hemensley died of a heroin overdose in 2003. "My Pal" appeared on the Underbelly soundtrack for the TV series of the same name. It was used on the Australian TV film, Underground – The Julian Assange Story.

God's self-titled double CD reissue was released on Afterburn Records in February 2010. BMA Magazine's correspondent described the group, "[they] sounded like a ten train smash-up in Tin Railroad Town. They were trying to encapsulate stadium rock and their ‘monster riffs’ often sounded like a playgroup had broken into the bottle recycling bin combined with that siren song of crap amps buzzing and wheezing you sometimes hear just before they blow up."

I'm so glad someone made this article. I love these guys; someone that knows more about them should definitely add more. ~FlareXyron

I removed the cleanup tag, the page is not ungrammatical, poorly formatted, or confusing. Telor

I edited the introductory paragraph. "The talented band's predominantly guitar-based music..." is definitely not neutral.

So, has anyone else noticed that www.theappleseedcast.com is no longer the band's website? ~Austin —Preceding unsigned comment added by Austintayeshus (talk • contribs) 18:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Lodge Bill

The Lodge Bill of 1890, also referred to as the Federal Elections Bill or by critics as the Lodge Force Bill, was a proposed bill to ensure the security of elections for U.S. Representatives.

It was drafted and proposed by Representative Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts and sponsored in the Senate by George Frisbie Hoar with the endorsement of President Benjamin Harrison and all Republicans. The bill provided for the federal regulation of elections to the United States House of Representatives, where had heretofore been regulated by state governments. In particular, the bill would have permitted federal circuit courts (upon a petition by 500 citizens from any district) to appoint federal supervisors for congressional elections. Supervisors would have the power to attend elections, inspect registration lists, verify doubtful voter information, administer oaths to challenged voters, stop illegal immigrants from voting, and certify the vote count. Perhaps most controversially, the supervisor would have the power to request Deputy United States Marshals to secure elections by force if deemed necessary.

The bill was created primarily to enforce the ability of blacks, predominantly Republican at the time, to vote in the Southern United States, as provided for in the constitution. The Fifteenth Amendment already formally guaranteed that right, but white southern Democrats had passed laws related to voter registration and electoral requirements, such as requiring payment of poll taxes and literacy tests (often waived if the prospective voter's grandfather had been a registered voter, the "grandfather clause"), that effectively prevented blacks from voting. That year Mississippi passed a new constitution that disfranchised most blacks, and other states would soon follow the "Mississippi plan".

After passing the House by just six votes, the Lodge bill was successfully filibustered by Democrats in the Senate, with little action by the President of the Senate, Vice President Levi P. Morton, because Silver Republicans in the West traded it away for Southern support of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act and Northern Republicans traded it away for Southern support of the McKinley Tariff.

Background
The 15th Amendment to the US Constitution states: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude” Its purpose was to acknowledge African American men’s voting rights. After the passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870, African Americans were subjected to voting restrictions in certain states. Disenfranchisement of African Americans came in various forms, such as poll taxes, literacy tests, white primaries, and grandfather clauses.

Support
Julius Caesar Chappelle (1852–1904) was among the earliest black Republican legislators in the northern United States, representing Boston and serving from 1883–1886. In 1890, Chappelle gave a political speech for the right of blacks to vote at an "enthusiastic" meeting at Boston's Faneuil Hall to support the federal elections bill. He was featured in a front page article in The New York Age newspaper covering his support of the Lodge bill.

Aftermath
The Republican Party's commitment to African-American rights had already been declining since Reconstruction ended in 1877, and the 1890 Lodge Bill proved to be the last relic of the Republican commitment to civil rights. The NAACP wrote to Lodge in 1919 to ask him to again draft a voting rights bill, but Lodge never responded, as Lodge and other Republicans were more focused on women's suffrage, the World War and the Spanish Flu epidemic. By 1919, and even moreso by the following decade, the Republican Party had changed so much that they were actually usually to the right of the Democratic Party on economic issues; Lodge himself was known as one of the most conservative Republicans in the Senate, the leading opponent to the League of Nations, and one of the nation's leading nativists.

The Lodge Bill was a precursor of the various Civil Rights legislation that followed. The bill's failure led to an increase in voter suppression until Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The Voting Rights Act outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests. It stated that "jurisdictions covered by these special provisions could not implement any change affecting voting until the Attorney General or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia determined that the change did not have a discriminatory purpose and would not have a discriminatory effect. In addition, the Attorney General could designate a county covered by these special provisions for the appointment of a federal examiner to review the qualifications of persons who wanted to register to vote. Further, in those counties where a federal examiner was serving, the Attorney General could request that federal observers monitor activities within the county's polling place.

Talk:Berenice II of Cyrene

From WP:RfD:

Delta Apodis

Delta Apodis (δ Aps, δ Apodis) is the Bayer designation for a double star in the southern constellation of Apus.

The brighter star, δ$-9.122$ Apodis, is an M-type red giant and has an apparent magnitude that varies from magnitude +4.66 to +4.87. It is classified as a semiregular variable with pulsations of multiple periods of 68.0, 94.9 and 101.7 days. At an angular separation of 102.9 arcseconds is δ$-36.968$ Apodis, an orange K-type giant with an apparent magnitude of +5.27.

Hipparcos data report the distance to δ$-1.321$ Apodis to be approximately 760 light years, while δ$-31.507$ Apodis is found to be around 610 light years from Earth. They may form a common proper motion pair.

Naming
In Chinese caused by adaptation of the European southern hemisphere constellations into the Chinese system, 異雀 (Yì Què), meaning Exotic Bird, refers to an asterism consisting of δ1 Apodis, ζ Apodis, ι Apodis, β Apodis, γ Apodis, δ Octantis, η Apodis, α Apodis and ε Apodis. Consequently, δ1 Apodis itself is known as 異雀六 (Yì Què liù, the Sixth Star of Exotic Bird.)

Draug (role-playing game)

Draug is a Norwegian supernatural horror role-playing game (RPG) published by Spartacus Forlag in 2004. It is heavily inspired by folklore and history of Norway, and is set in the early 1800s.

Contents
Draug (named after a type of fictional Scandinavian undead), is set in a semi-historically accurate Norway of 1801 that features supernatural creatures from Norwegian fairy tales. The game, which uses the FUDGE game system, is designed for 1–5 players and a gamemaster.

The players create characters who have ten traits or abilities (two of them great, three of them good, and five of them only fair). The characters are ordinary people who are plagued by supernatural creatures such as nøkken, hulder, vetter, trolls, and nisser. The game focuses on cooperative problem-solving rather than combat.

Most of the illustrations in the book are by Norwegian artists of the 1800s and early 1900s, such as Gunnar Berg, Theodor Kittelsen, Otto Sinding, and Adolph Tidemand. The cover illustration is made by Robert Elneskog.

Publication history
Draug was created by Matthijs Holter in 2004 and was published by Spartacus Forlag as a 240-page book that is divided into information for players, information for the gamemaster, and several adventures. It was the first RPG to be based on Norwegian history and beliefs.

The following year, Holter followed up with the first supplement, Beist og borgerskap ("Beast and Bourgoisie"), a 73-page book of three adventures with three different modes of play:
 * "Festligheter på Fladebye" ("Festival at Fladebye") is a murder mystery set in high society.
 * "Uren, Luren" ("Up in the Hills") is a narrativisic adventure inspired by Norwegian folk tales collected by Asbjørnsen and Moe.
 * "Jern-Katja" ("Iron Katja") is a horror adventure set in a rural environment with a tragedy in its past.

Reception
In a review for the Norwegian newspaper VG, Brynjulf Jung Tjønn liked the game, saying, "With the help of some dice and a book of 240 pages, you can make Norway a free country in the 19th century."

In a review for the Norwegian magazine Universitas, "Vegard Den Lokale Uteliggeren" (transl. "Vegard, the local homeless", the anonymous critic's player character in Draug) complimented the game on its simplicity, saying, "The rules are simple and easy to understand, and you apparently do not need a calculator or nerd skills to play." Vegard did caution that "It is possible that it will only become really interesting if you are interested in history and folklore." Vegard also thought that the game occasionally veered too close to mundane, noting that "Some of the environmental descriptions in Draug are dangerously reminiscent of what one finds in an average school book, but the game is saved by the captivating thought of having to play through Norwegian history where in a dramatic moment the national assembly at Eidsvoll rescues an evil Danish Santa with poisoned porridge." Vegard concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "[The game] requires a little more advance work, and it can be a little stressful at first to pretend to be a crowded outcast or a hard-working Haugian widow, but in the right surroundings - for example cabin trips in the Norwegian mountains - it should quickly become fun. Anyone who can think of a creative alternative to Ludo or Monopoly should try Draug.""

Writing for the Norwegian magazine Adresseavisen, Tone Almhjell said, "This is brilliant entertainment. (…) There is so much inspiration here that should last for years of fun."

Terpsimbrotos

Terpsimbrotos is a type of linguistic compound (inflectional verbal compounds, German verbales Rektionskompositum) where the first part ends in -ti or -si in Greek or Sanskrit. It is on a par with the bahuvrihi and tatpurusha types. It is derived from a finite verbal phrase, the verbal inflection still visible at the juncture of the compound members. Terpsimbrotos (τερψίμβροτος) is itself a Greek example of such a compound, consisting of terpsi (either from terp-ti- or from terp-si-) "gladdens" and mbrotos "mortals" (cf. ἀμβροσία [a-mbrosia]); a terpsimbrotos is thus something or somebody that "gladdens mortals". The word appears in the Odyssey and in the Homeric hymn to Apollo as an epitheton of Helios.

Opinions as to what form exactly is reflected by this type of compound are divided. Dunkel (1992) compares the Vedic -si- imperatives, connected with the aorist system, apparently by haplology along the lines of vak-sa-si > vaksi.

Bē-t-harmōn (βητάρμων) "driving the wheel", a Homeric compound, was also postulated as a similar type of compound, though lacking the -i- of terpsimbrotos. If correctly analysed, this would support the -ti- analysis of terpsi-. Dunkel traces the origin of the pt- in πτόλεμος [ptolemos] (vs. earlier πόλεμος [polemos]) "war" to a re-analysis of such a compound, *phere-t-polemos, metathesised to φερεπτόλεμος [phere-ptolemos].

Phere-oikos (φερέοικος) "house-carrier", "carries-his-house", a term used for a snail by Hesiod's Works and Days, is another Greek variant of the type, with a thematic -e- instead of the -si-. At least synchronically, φερεπτόλεμος discussed above is also of this type.

Chlamydiales

The bacterial order Chlamydiales includes only obligately intracellular bacteria that have a chlamydia-like developmental cycle of replication and at least 80% 16S rRNA or 23S rRNA gene sequence identity with other members of Chlamydiales. Chlamydiales live in animals, insects, and protozoa.

Currently, the order Chlamydiales includes the families Chlamydiaceae, Simkaniaceae, and Waddliaceae, which have Gram-negative extracellular infectious bodies (EBs), and Parachlamydiaceae, which has variable Gram staining of EBs. The family Rhabdochlamydiaceae has been proposed.
