I propose adding in a note indicating that Myers resides in New York as of January 2017, as the new last line in the "Personal Life" section, citing the following article from USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/10greatplaces/2017/01/20/mike-myers-canada/96768702/ ("'New York is where I live, but Toronto will always be my home.'”).One-Off Contributor (talk) 15:48, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Quantum and Woody

Quantum and Woody is a superhero duo from the Valiant comic book series created by writer Christopher Priest and illustrator M. D. Bright.

Editor Fabian Nicieza called Priest because he wanted a buddy super-hero book similar to Power Man and Iron Fist. Priest then suggested they use the artist of that series, Bright. Originally reluctant to work on this, Bright suggested they make the white character the comic relief for once. Drawing inspiration from the characters played by Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump, they created Quantum & Woody.

In 2013, Valiant Comics began publishing a re-imagined version of the characters.

Volume 1
The first volume of Quantum and Woody was published by Acclaim Comics for 17 issues beginning in June 1997 and ending in October 1998. It returned for five issues released between September 1999 and January 2000.

Volume 2
In March 2013, Valiant Entertainment released a teaser signaling the return of Quantum and Woody, stating "The World's Greatest Comic Company Presents...The World's Worst Superhero Team".

On March 26, a new series written by James Asmus with art by Tom Fowler was announced, later receiving July release date. The characters in the new series are re-imagined and do not continue the story line of the previous series. The series lasted 13 issues. Priest and Bright returned to produce a five-issue miniseries featuring the original Quantum and Woody, set 20 years after the last issue of the original series. The series was released on November 12, 2014. The duo were later teamed up with Archer & Armstrong for a 4 issue miniseries called The Delinquents.

Volume 3
After a couple of years inactive, the duo were brought back for a new series written by Daniel Kibblesmith, starting in late 2017 and ending after 12 issues.

Volume 4
A new miniseries was launched in 2020, written by Christopher Hastings with art by Ryan Browne.

Fictional character biography
In the version of Quantum and Woody published by the 2010s incarnation of Valiant Entertainment, Eric Henderson and Woodrow ("Woody") Van Chelton are adoptive brothers. After years of estrangement they are brought together by the mysterious death of their father (Woody's foster father). They set out to find their father's killer and, in the course of their investigation, are accidentally imbued with powers.

Straitlaced and earnest Eric Henderson always strove for a life of disciplined achievement—in school, in the Army and in his career. In contrast, Woody, has been irresponsible and undisciplined, living on the streets, gregarious but promiscuous, and leading a life of petty crime. When their father Derek is killed at his top-secret experimental energy lab, the brothers reconnect at the funeral which leads to a fistfight and resultant jailtime.

Distraught, suspected of murder, and determined to bring the real killers to justice, Eric and Woody decide to investigate the crime themselves, despite having no qualifications for doing so. They break into Derek's lab to gather clues, but they accidentally activate a machine which emits strange energy to which they are exposed before causing a massive explosion. Miraculously, they survive and moreover, they possess the ability to shoot energy and generate shields of pure power. However, another result requires them to slam their metal wristbands to each other's every 24 hours to avoid being dissolved.

Utilizing their unstable energy powers, Eric and Woody learn of a mysterious group, Edison's Radical Acquisitions (ERA), which was seeking Dr. Henderson's research. Woody convinces Eric that they could find out more about Derek's secret science by snooping around in superhero equipment stolen from Eric's job at private security contractor Magnum Security. Calling themselves Quantum and Woody, the duo infiltrate an ERA gathering in Washington, DC, but Woody is subdued and taken hostage. As Quantum, Eric tracks ERA to an island base brimming with pilfered scientific secrets, mad scientists, robots, and genetic experiments.

ERA's decrepit matriarch is a geneticist known only as the Crone. She has prolonged her life for decades by harvesting parts from clones. She conducts experiments on Woody in an attempt to unlock the secrets of his power. Eric frees Woody, but they accidentally destroy the island, barely surviving and accompanied by a mysteriously powerful goat and a teenage Crone-clone named Sixty-Nine.

Because their wristband limitation requires them to remain in close contact, the brothers reconcile, and Woody moves into Eric's apartment. Soon after, Eric is enlisted by his boss, Terrence Magnum, to act as Magnum Security's private superhero. Magnum sends Quantum on a suicide mission to destabilize a white supremacist (and possibly other -ists) movement in Montana, and because the brothers need to remain in close proximity, Woody accompanies him. Discovering that Magnum is only using Eric as a pawn to start a profitable domestic war, Quantum and Woody ally with the separatists to defeat Magnum's goal.

Resettling in Washington, DC, Quantum and Woody notice a sizable increase in the amount of robo-crimes reported there, which may be an indication of a return of the ERA.

The Goat
The Henderson brothers have not realized it yet, but this curious creature, named Vincent Van Goat by Woody, has a history with their family that goes back many years, back to the days when their father was a lab assistant to the bombastic Dr. Platzhalter. Platzhalter's work aimed to develop a device capable of backing up and restoring the full mind and thought patterns of any chosen subject, a possible cure for Alzheimer's disease or the key to a smarter artificial intelligence. During an impromptu demonstration for the representatives of Edison's Radical Acquisitions, a lab accident resulted in the transfer of a copy of Henderson's mind into the goat. Unaware of what had truly transpired, ERA took the animal into their care and spent the next several years performing unethical scientific upgrades on the Goat. Over time, these experiments entirely changed the Goat's physiology to the point where the true extent of the animal's abilities —including heat vision, enhanced strength, and limited flight —may never be known.

Years later, when Quantum and Woody desperately try to escape the ERA's island headquarters, the Goat recognizes the "heroes" as his "own" wayward sons and rescues them, deploying a terrifying array of combat abilities to wreak havoc throughout the ERA compound. The Goat initiates the island's self-destruct sequence. It goes to live with Eric and Woody to live in Eric's Washington, DC apartment.

Despite the Goat's repeated and non-subtle attempts to let Quantum and Woody know that he is somewhat their father, the duo has yet to realize this. Regardless, the Goat continues to assist them as a significant powerhouse.

Original version
Eric Henderson is a decorated Army tactical officer. Woodrow Van Chelton is a goofy man with a guitar (but no band). His idea of detective work is hanging a suspect out of a window. They are childhood friends who have lost touch with one another as they entered their teenage years. Reunited after the deaths of their fathers in a suspicious helicopter crash, they begin investigating the fathers' deaths and become victims of a high-tech industrial accident that turns their bodies into pure energy. The metal gauntlets they each wear must be slammed together every 24 hours to reset their energy matrix, or their atoms will break apart and their bodies will fade away. Eric adopts a code name, Quantum, to work undercover and find his father's killer. Woodrow wants to avenge his father's death too, but declares that as "code names are stupid", people can call him Woody.

Television
A TV series developed by Anthony and Joe Russo and TBS was announced in 2017.

Herbert Breslin

Herbert Breslin (1 October 1924 – 17 May 2012 ) was an American music industry executive. He was influential in the careers of several musicians since the 1960s, the foremost of these being the tenor Luciano Pavarotti, with whom he started his career.

Work
Breslin was born in the Bronx borough of New York City, New York. He served in the army during World War II. After the war, he attended City College of New York and after graduation, he became a high-school teacher and also began writing advertising copy for small businesses. After submitting samples of his writing to several large corporations, he accepted a position as a speechwriter for the Chrysler Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, where he became a member of the company's public-relations staff.

He began his career as a publicist and met Luciano Pavarotti, also a former teacher, when both men were only beginning their careers in 1967. Their collaboration resulted in both of them eventually becoming powerful and well known. Breslin's firm also represented Plácido Domingo, and at one time he represented both Pavarotti and Domingo as a publicist.

When Breslin decided to become an artist's manager, he presented the same strategy to both young tenors, who had made their Metropolitan Opera debuts during the same season. Using the career of the legendary tenor Enrico Caruso as a model, Breslin told Domingo and Pavarotti that like Caruso, each had to appear in concerts across the U.S. so that the public could see and hear them in person. Recordings and television appearances, Breslin cautioned, would not enable the American public to experience their singing personally.

Pavarotti readily agreed to Breslin's strategy, but Domingo preferred making recordings and appearing on television to performing on the concert platform. As a result, Breslin had to make a choice between the two and chose Pavarotti. At various times, the firm also represented Alicia de Larrocha, Dame Joan Sutherland, Marilyn Horne and many others.

In 2002 Pavarotti split with his manager of 36 years, and became associated with the Hungarian impresario Tibor Rudas, who produced the international "Three Tenors" concerts. The breakup was followed by the publication of a book by Breslin, along with arts critic Anne Midgette, entitled The King & I (Doubleday, 2004), which was seen by many as sensational and overly critical. The book criticized Pavarotti's acting (in opera), his inability to read music and having to learn roles by rote, and his personal conduct offstage. Breslin, however, always acknowledged Pavarotti's outstanding voice, magnificent career, and positive influence on his own career.

Herbert Breslin died on 17 May 2012 at age 87 in Nice, France, and was survived by his wife, the former Carol Gluck, their daughter, Andrea Breslin-Jaffe, their son, Eric Breslin, and four grandchildren.

Talk:Wellington Church

Why Wellington?
If I read this (not overly clear) page correctly, the original Wellington Church was on Wellington Street, which Google Maps places just west of the city center. So I'm thinking this is the same body; that they moved from Wellington Street to Hillhead, but kept the name. Is this correct? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 18:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes. U P congregations quite often relocated; Wellington Church was previously in Wellington Street. Thanks for your welcome message.--Matthewross 19:15, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

"Anti-Burgher"
I'd like to nominate this article on WP:DYK (which means it is quite likely to appear on the main page, and receive lots of visitors). To do that, I need to cook up a pithy factoid for the "did you know" line. I was hoping to use:

 * ...Glasgow's Wellington Church was founded in 1792 as an Anti-Burgher congregation.

but we don't have an anti-burgher article, and I've no idea if we have it under some other name. Is there a sensible article for that subject? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:37, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Relationship with the University
Although the University maintains its own chapel in the nearby Gilbert-Scott buildings, the Wellington hosts both religious and secular university events.

Which ones? Any source? More importantly perhaps, I believe the Wellington acted as the University chapel after the University's move to the West End, before the chapel was built, which would be the best part of fifty years -- well worth mentioning. But I'm reluctant to add this without a source. Can anyone supply one? Flapdragon (talk) 20:21, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

KVVA-FM

KVVA-FM (107.1 MHz, "La Suavecita 107.1") is a commercial radio station licensed to Sun Lakes, Arizona, serving the Phoenix metropolitan area. The station is owned by Entravision Communications, with studios near Sky Harbor Airport.

KVVA-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 2,850 watts as a Class C2 station. The transmitter is located in South Mountain Park.

KSTM and KVVA-FM
The station signed on the air on. Its call sign was KSTM. It was built by engineer Harold Harkins who also served as its first general manager and it had a variety format. Harkings sold KSTM to Beta Communications in 1980. Under Beta, it broadcast an album rock format known as "The Storm".

Two years after buying KSTM, Beta acquired KIFN 860 AM, Phoenix's heritage Spanish-language station, and relaunched it as KVVA. Five years later, Beta opted to jettison the rock format for Spanish-language adult contemporary as KVVA-FM 107.1. It was the first Spanish-language FM station in Phoenix since 99.9 KNNN had exited the format in 1984.

Romántica, Estrella, Jose, Suavecita
Beta went bankrupt in 1996, and the AM and FM stations were auctioned separately. KVVA-FM was sold to Z-Spanish Radio Network. Four years later, Entravision acquired KVVA-FM and KMJK (now KDVA) and combined the two into a simulcast for its "Radio Romántica" format. In 2005, the stations were changed to "Super Estrella," as part of the Super Estrella Network programmed by Edgar Pineda from Los Angeles. In September 2008, the simulcast switched to "Jose FM," a Spanish adult hits format. The current "La Suavecita" format was instituted in 2018.

In July 2020, after years of filings involving a nearby FM allotment to Aguila, Entravision was approved to move KVVA-FM's city of license from Apache Junction to Sun Lakes, in order to relocate the transmitter from Apache Junction to South Mountain and become a market-wide signal. Its simulcast partner, 106.9 KDVA, moved to 106.7 MHz in late October of 2023. The transmitter move was completed in June 2024, which included the introduction of a simulcast of KFUE 106.7 on its HD2 subchannel.

Talk:Samurai 7

Info Box Image
I changed the picture of Kirara, Komachi, and Rikichi for one with the Seven Samurai Maigokunshu 04:53, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

DVD Titles?
Does anyone know where to find the other renamed DVD titles? (i.e. "The Master", "The Pupil", etc.) I can only find the first 8 for listing on article.

I dont think they are out yet... i may be wrong but jus sayin

How long are the episodes?
It's something I've been curious about, but are the episodes of Samurai 7 shorter than the average Anime episode? If they are I don't know if it bears article significance, but I wonder if anyone found the same thing. Prodigis (talk) 15:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

SPOILER ALERT: Kirara, Kambei, and Katsushiro
I took out some info in the Kirara part, because it sounded a bit misleading and is a spoiler of sorts.

SPOILER FOLLOWS: Kirara is in love with Kambei, not Katsushiro. She feels pity for Katsushiro and has this "I want to save everyone" mentality, which first gives the viewer the impression she loves him. She just really likes him as a close friend and feels personal guilt for leading him down a difficult path. Now she MIGHT have had some romantic feelings towards Katsushiro in the beginning, but by the time she slaps Katsushiro and he steals that kiss, its really Kambei who she wants to bump boots (err... wooden shoes) with. In any case, Kambei doesn't return those feelings, and as such its an unrequited love. Sad really. Everyone loses in this reguard. Katsushiro can never have Kirara; Kirara can never have Kambei; and if Kambei really has feelings for Kirara, he will not let them surface due to personal reasons and I suppose his respect/friendship with Katsushiro.

 * Moments where Kirara shows she loves Kanbei; not Katsushiro:

 * Moment #1: When she first meets sees him and runs after him after defeating the suicide samurai. She says, "He's the one" - both as a savior of her people and personal love.

 * Moment #2: She jumps in the sewers, and Kanbei saves her. She knew "her hero" would save her. Kanbei has an unusual frown - he knows she has an unhealthy interest in him.

 * From this point on (episode 3 and beyond), Kanbei repeatedly pairs Kirara and Kikuchiyo together. He knows she likes him, and he's trying to "pass her off" in hopes its just a mild infatuation that will pass if directed to something else.

 * Moment #3: When Yukino tells Kirara that she and Kikuchiyo make a good couple after they first met, Kirara answers that she isn't interested in men. Later, when Yukino "hints" that she knows who Kirara really loves (Kanbei) later in the series, she says nothing while the stone glows brightly.

 * Moment #4: Kirara really hates and distrusts Kyuzo at first, because she fears what he'll do to Kanbei. She loves Kanbei, so unlike the others her emotions are really clouding her, and she can't get herself to really like him until a bit more.

 * Moment #5: When the girls ask Kirara about the "samurai", Kirara starts talking about how great Kanbei is. The girls wanted to know about Kikuchiyo.

 * Moment #6: Kirara is always happier to see Kanbei, than she is to see Kikuchiyo. This is really apparent at the part where Kanbei and Kikuchiyo are in the village "library."

 * Moment #7: After the library scene, Kanbei says he wants to talk with Kirara in private. She gets all happy. During the talk, Kirara counters that she can also help on the field... where Kanbei will be...

 * Moment #8: Every time Kanbei tells Kirara that Kikuchiyo will be her protector, she gets all defensive or says she'll be okay without him (Kikuchiyo). She wants to be with Kanbei instead.

 * Moment #9: When climbing up the cliff after saving her the first time, Kanbei offers his hands to help up Kirara. She looks at his waist accidentally and gets embarrassed (dirty thoughts).

 * Moment #10: Kirara keeps Kanbei's old bandages as a keepsake. Her grandma notes this. Kirara gets embarrassed.

 * Moment #11: After the fight with the Red Spider, Kanbei walks away to finish some business. Kirara tries to follow after him, but is stopped.

 * Moment #12: When the other four samurai leave to find Kanbei after he's capture, Kirara has a short moment with the village elder. The man whom she is "having sinful thoughts" for is Kanbei. The "other samurai" whom Kirara claims she hasn't paid attention too, is Kikuchiyo.

 * Moment #13: There a part in the Capital where Kikuchiyo doubts if Kanbei can win a certain fight with his dull sword. Kirara tells him Kanbei WILL win. He then starts to agree. Kirara NEVER doubts Kanbei in battle.

 * Moment #14: Kirara slaps Kikuchiyo for insulting Kanbei. Kikuchiyo kisses Kirara, but there is anger in the eyes; not love. Kikuchiyo knows who she loves and storms off.

 * Moment #15: See Moment #3 above.

 * Moment #16: Kirara's admission that she wants to have sex with Kanbei in the cart.

 * Moment #17: Flashback where Kirara tries to tell Kanbei she loves him.

 * Moment #18: Kirara staying with Kanbei all through the winter, despite him ignoring her advances.

 * Moment #19: When Kirara's grandma asks if she's willing to go after Kikuchiyo instead of Kanbei, she merely shuts the window when she sees Kikuchiyo working out in the field. She had a chance, she didn't want it. She's still hopes for Kanbei.

None of this is based in fact, it's just your own opinions. The show hints more at her having feelings for Katsushiro then Kanbei. The main evidence is her promise to Katsushiro that she will "sink with him, and wash the blood of his hands". What you are saying is opinion and not factual. In fact using the same evidence as you I could suggest that there is romantic tension between Kanbei and Kyuzo. After all Kanbei telling Kyuzo "I am in love" did make it onto an episode recap. History documented relationships between older and younger samurai. There was a look on their faces has they rubbed their neck wounds that suggested this also, and Kanbei did say "I want him". Of course these statements will be attacked, but they've not been entered into the article, and neither should information about Kirara having feelings for Kanbei.

 * In the official artbook for Samurai 7, the directors state that its a love triange between Kanbei, Kirara, and Kikuchiyo. In any case, the director say Kanbei is the one she picked. I don't know the ISBN for this book, but you can order it from Animenation.

Requested move
Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 → Samurai 7 … Rationale: The better and much more well-known titling of this anime series is Samurai 7, which is the title used for the series everywhere, including news and reference sources, and is the most used and well-known, including the one being used in the Animax, IFCTV and Animania English-language broadcasts of the series, whereas Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 is only the full formal name given by FUNimation's N.A. DVD licensing. The use of the title Samurai 7 for this series is so widespread that even FUNimation's official North American website lists the series as Samurai 7. As per Naming conventions, Wikipedia gives more emphasis to the titling which more readers are familiar towards, in this case Samurai 7, instead of what is considered to be "official" titles. If we were to even do a Google search comparision, we would find that there are 17,600,000 references alone to Samurai 7, whereas there are only 465,000 for  Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7. I therefore humbly propose that the article be retitled/moved to Samurai 7, per Wikipedia naming guidelines, as it is the much better and widely-known titling.

 * Tried adding a rational template. Eldar 22:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

If you ask me Kirara was quite confused with her feelings for Kanbei and Katsushiro especially at the end. Even in between the series Kanbei just treated her as a kid so only one she was able to relate to was Katsushiro. She must of obviously went a little far with Katsushiro when she was nursing him for him to go as far as kissing her when he was naive, innocent and too kind to begin with. That it self indirectly hints she also had feelings for Katsushiro. She was leaning toward Kanbei just because he was kind and a strong samurai. In the end whe Kasushiro became just as strong she wanted to see him off especially but he laft before she was going to say anything. If you ask me some time in the future their love might spring open. Knowing how Kanbei is I am guessing Katsushiro might return to Kirara after he completes his journey because from the begining Kirara wanted a very strong samurai and Katsushiro know that and probably want to accomplish it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.195.192.63 (talk) 22:33, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Bad Moon

Bad Moon is a 1996 Canadian-American horror film written and directed by Eric Red, and produced by James G. Robinson. The film is about a mother and son who are threatened by her brother, who struggles to overcome the curse of lycanthropy. It stars Michael Paré, Mariel Hemingway and Mason Gamble.

The film is based on the novel Thor by Wayne Smith, which mainly tells the story from the dog's viewpoint. Bad Moon received negative reviews and performed poorly at the box office.

Plot
During a work expedition in Nepal, photo-journalists Ted Harrison and his girlfriend Marjorie are attacked by a werewolf. The werewolf snatches Marjorie and Ted attempts to rescue her but gets bitten in the shoulder. He manages to kill the werewolf with his shotgun, but not before it kills Marjorie.

Seeking isolation, Ted moves into a trailer in the woods. Eventually, he invites his sister, Janet, and his nephew, Brett, to a meal at his home by the lake. Upon seeing him, the family dog, Thor, runs into the woods. Picking up a scent, Thor is led to human remains hanging from a tree branch. Meanwhile, Ted lies to Janet, telling her that Marjorie left him and went back to Seattle. Janet invites him to stay with them but he declines and insists they leave before sunset.

The next day, authorities investigate the remains of several missing hikers and a Forest Ranger, found in the woods near Ted’s trailer. Fearful of being found guilty, Ted calls Janet and accepts her offer. Upon arrival, Thor is again suspicious of Ted and acts hostile towards him. Later that evening, Thor follows Ted into the woods and finds him turned into a werewolf and handcuffed to a tree. Meanwhile, Janet goes into the woods looking for Thor. Aware of the danger, Thor leads her safely back to the house.

The next morning, Janet sees a news report of the killings and confronts her brother about not telling her his motive for accepting her invitation and asks him to stay permanently. Ted tries to warn her by advising she pay attention to Thor’s sudden behavior changes. He also hints that the murders had been done by a wolf. She ignores him. Later, as the sun sets, he leaves his trailer in hopes of chaining himself up again. Thor, knowing what is happening, barks until Brett lets him out of the house. He runs to the woods to find that Ted was too late in handcuffing himself. Thor follows Ted’s trail back to the backyard and Ted attacks him but the dog fights back. Janet wakes up and turns on the deck lights, scaring Ted away. She sees an injured Thor and calls the Sheriff; however, when she goes to Ted's trailer to tell him, she finds a book about werewolves, with gruesome pictures of Marjorie's body and some of Ted's victims attached to it. She also finds a journal in which Ted details his turmoil with not finding a cure for his "disease” and his hopes of finding peace near his family. Later that night, the traveling salesman who had previously tried to frame Thor for an attack, returns to Janet’s yard with the intention of killing Thor, but is instead fatally wounded by Ted.

The sheriff questions Janet about Thor and informs her of the salesman being attacked by a wild animal; his mutilated body was found near her property. She asks if it could have been a wolf, but the sheriff dismisses it and advises her to send Thor to the dog pound. Not believing Thor could be the killer, she confronts Ted, who provokes Thor to attack him. As a result, Thor is taken to the pound. Ted urinates on Thor's doghouse and is hostile towards Brett.

That night, Janet confronts Ted in the woods. He accuses her of not listening to his warnings and knowing the truth all along. As he transforms, she flees back to the house and retrieves a revolver hidden in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Brett manages to sneak out and free Thor from the dog pound. Thor returns home just as Ted is about to attack Janet. A vicious fight ensues, ending with Ted throwing Thor across the room, seemingly killing him. Brett, having returned home, is nearly strangled by Ted, but Janet fires several rounds into him. Then, Thor throws himself at Ted, knocking them both through the window and into the yard. Ted, severely injured, retreats into the woods, but Thor tracks him until sunrise. Ted, now human, emerges from behind a tree and tells a reluctant Thor to "do it.” Thor kills Ted. After, Janet apologizes to Thor for taking him to the pound. Suddenly, Thor as a werewolf growls at her, but it just turns out to be a nightmare; Janet, Brett, and Thor are healing from their ordeal.

Critical response
Bad Moon received mostly negative reviews from critics upon its initial release.

Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle was highly critical of the film, panning the film's script, poor special effects, and unconvincing monster costume. Joe Leydon from Variety felt that the film was "too silly to be suspenseful, yet not quite awful enough or intentionally funny enough to qualify as camp", and criticized Hemingway's performance as being unconvincing. The Austin Chronicle's Marc Savlov gave the film one and a half out of five stars, highlighting the film's direction, unconvincing special effects and monster costume, and unbelievable characters.

More positively, Kevin Thomas of The Los Angeles Times called the film "a straight-ahead horror picture with exceptionally well-written characters and well-directed actors." Chris Coffel of Bloody Disgusting said Bad Moon "succeeds with what you want in a trashy werewolf movie."

Home media
The film was released on DVD in a snap case on October 3, 2000. It was released for the first time on Blu-ray on July 19, 2016.

Samivel, are you APerey? I ask because your editing styles are dramatically similar. (You know, a gazillion tiny edits in a row, changing commas and prepositions.) The style and manner of your attempts to discredit AR's critics are pretty similar, too. And significantly, you have edited *zero* other articles on Wikipedia besides this one, yet you seem to be very familiar with Wikipedia. And of course when you showed up APerey mysteriously disappeared. So I'm asking, are you APerey? I'm not stating that you are, I'm asking. Thanks, Michaelbluejay 17:46, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I hope by now you have thoroughly reviewed No original research and Neutral point of view. If you have not yet, or if your sense of them is shaky, please reread them carefully. Then, go to the Margaret Mead page. review the last five or ten edits and look at the bottom of the talk page. Any intervention you make will fall flat or backfire if you do not comply to NOR and NPOV fanatically. But if you do comply with them, I think we may need an intervention from you in the next few days, or weeks. Slrubenstein  |  Talk 21:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I am glad to see you are still active. From what I can tell, there has been little activiety on the Mead page.  However, based on the recent comment on the talk page, I imagine there will be more activity soon.  So please, just keep an eye on it.  Thanks, Slrubenstein   |  Talk 20:35, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, I agree with your interpretation that DF's critique in no way contradicts MM's central argument. However, I cannot say that in the article, nor can you, as it would violate NOR.  However, if we can find articles or book reviews that say so, we can quote and cite them.  Some time ago I used AnthroSource to see what has been published on mead-Freeman and it did seem that the overwhelming majority of articles questioned Freeman; some of them also placed the debate in a broader context.  My current situation is such that I will not be able to work on the article much, so I appreciate your keeping an eye on it.  In my experience, supporters of Freeman usually put in their own reasons for liking his arguments — which violates NOR and NPOV.  What they should be doingis quoting published articles.  And that would be the effective response, to quote published articles (which in some ways has more weight than the AAA resolution, not that I knock it) in order to educate readers as to how anthropologists really responded to the controversy.

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza.

Weilburg

Weilburg is, with just under 13,000 inhabitants, the third biggest town in Limburg-Weilburg district in Hesse, Germany, after Limburg an der Lahn and Bad Camberg.

Location
The community lies in the Lahn valley between the Westerwald and the Taunus just upstream from where the Weil empties into the river Lahn and 80 km southeast of Koblenz. The Old Town, built on and around a rocky hill, is almost encircled by the Lahn.

Neighbouring communities
Weilburg borders in the north on the communities of Merenberg and Löhnberg (both in Limburg-Weilburg), in the east on the town of Braunfels (Lahn-Dill-Kreis), in the south on the communities of Weilmünster and Weinbach as well as on the town of Runkel, and in the west on the community of Beselich (all in Limburg-Weilburg).

Constituent communities
Besides the main town, in which just under 40% of the inhabitants live, the outlying centres of Ahausen, Bermbach, Drommershausen, Gaudernbach, Hasselbach, Hirschhausen, Kirschhofen, Kubach, Odersbach and Waldhausen also belong to Weilburg's municipal area.

History
It is believed that the earliest traces of settlers in the area around Weilburg are attested by finds from La Tène times from the Scheuernberger Kopf (mountain) near Kirschhofen.

Weilburg was first mentioned in 906 in a chronicle by Abbot Regino of Prüm as a fortification under the name of Wilineburch. Six years later King Conrad I, whose father had been buried in the fortification after having fallen in battle while fighting the Babenbergers near Fritzlar in 906, founded a church and an abbey. In 912, the St. Walpurgis-Chorherrenstift (monastery) was founded. The building, which was built on high ground, afforded the monastery control over the Lahn as well as the Hohe Straße ("High Road") running from Frankfurt to Cologne and the Via Publica from Flanders to Bohemia, which ran nearby.

In 918, the Wilineburg (castle) gained special historic importance when King Conrad I, lying on his deathbed, recommended to his brother Eberhard that he deliver the Imperial insignia to his bitterest rival, the Saxon duke Heinrich (Weilburger Testament).

From 993 to 1062, the town was bit by bit donated to the Bishopric of Worms. About 1225, the Bishop of Worms pledged overlordship over the town to the House of Nassau, which in the end they bought up, granting the place a year later the same town rights held by Frankfurt. Count Johann I of Nassau built his residence here in 1355, renovated the castle to a palace, and also built the town fortifications. In 1359, he had a stone bridge built across the Lahn.

The House of Nassau shaped the town's history for several centuries. Count Johann Ernst (1664–1719), in particular, renovated and beautified his town of residence by expanding the Renaissance high palace (Hochschloss), building a park and changing the town's face. Weilburg thus became one of the most fully preserved examples of a small German residence town from the time of absolutism. From 1806, the town was the governmental seat of the newly created Duchy of Nassau. Only in 1816 did William, Duke of Nassau move his residence to Biebrich. In 1866, the Duchy of Nassau was annexed by Prussia, and in 1871 it became part of the newly established German Empire.

In the field of architectural history, Weilburg is known for its loam buildings from the time before 1800. Wilhelm Jacob Wimpf, a "government lawyer", was instrumental in furthering the so-called Pisee style of building in the town and its environs, yielding what is still Germany's tallest loam building, a six-floor house.

National Socialism and the Second World War
In 1933, as in other German cities and towns, the National Socialists were elected into power. Shortly before this, the Nazis in the region had had strong showings in elections. The last non-Nazi mayor chosen by the town council, Diffenhardt, was ousted in a no-confidence vote instigated by the Nazis in the summer of 1933.

During World War II, in 1939–1941, it was the location of the Oflag IX-B prisoner-of-war camp for Polish and Belgian officers and orderlies. In the war, the town sustained only light damage. The middle façade of the palace's orangery collapsed after an aerial bomb meant for the Weilburg railway station fell right in front of the gate and exploded. The railway station and the nearby Helbig brewery house were also damaged. While United States troops were taking over the town on 27 March 1945, the fighting caused some light damage, although all the town's bridges were blown up by retreating German troops.

Municipal centre
Weilburg was the old Oberlahnkreis's seat from the district's founding in 1867. Weilburg lost this function when, in the course of administrative reform in Hesse, both the Oberlahnkreis and the Limburg district were abolished and the new Limburg-Weilburg district came into being on 1 July 1974, with Limburg as its seat. To this day, however, a district administration outpost can be found at the former district administrator's office on Limburger Straße.

In 2005, the town hosted the 45th Hessentag state festival from 17 to 26 June.

Constituent communities' history
Ahausen is first mentioned in documents in 1320. The cluster village lies right on the Lahn where the Grundbach empties into it, which explains why the three mills that once stood here.

Under the name Berinbach, the outlying centre of Bermbach was first mentioned in documents in 1253. Besides agriculture, the villagers also worked at mining. Ore was mined from pits in Bermbach's municipal area up until 1914, when operations ceased.

The certification of an estate in 1196 by Pope Celestine III is Drommershausen's first mention in documents. There is historical evidence of an oil mill in 1666, and also, a blast furnace for smelting ironstone mined in the area is mentioned in 1679.

In 1325, under the name Gauderinbach, today's outlying centre of Gaudernbach was first mentioned. At first, the place belonged to the Amt of Runkel and the parish of Schupbach. The chapel consecrated to Saint Peter was built in 1769. A school in the community was mentioned before 1618, although it is unknown how long it lasted. In a great fire in 1863, 68 buildings in Gaudernbach were destroyed. Besides agriculture and mining, villagers found income working in the Gaudernbach marble quarry.

In a document from 1235, the place name Hasilibach was first mentioned, later changing its name to Hasselbach. At the time of its first mention, the community belonged to the Trier Burgmann Johann von Schupbach, who resided in Montabaur.

Hirschhausen is first mentioned in documents in 1327, and can be found in writings from 1466 referred to as Herbishusen. In Hirschhausen's municipal area there were many hematite and limonite pits, among which the "Anna" pit was one of the richest in the Lahn area. Worth mentioning is the eight-sided Lutheran church built in 1763 by 27 families from Hirschhausen. Near Hirschhausen, from the 15th to the mid 16th century, was the pilgrimage centre of Pfannstiel.

The outlying centre of Kirschhofen was first mentioned in documents in 1363 with the spelling Kyrchschyrben. The spelling Kirschhofen is known from 1684. Since 1978, Kirschhofen has been linked by footbridge to the outlying centre of Odersbach on the other side of the Lahn.

The constituent community of Kubach was first referred to in documents as parvulam cubach in one of Otto III's documents from 27 December 1000. It is assumed that Kubach had its own church as of 1516. The current church was finished in 1784.

Odersbach and Waldhausen are the two constituent communities which are first mentioned in documents before that of Weilburg's in 906.

Waldhausen was first mentioned in documents in 881 in the Prüm Abbey's Golden Book, in which it is known as Mark Ualthusa in a passage dealing with the settlement there and the Carolingian forest holdings. Until 1960, the villagers earned their livelihood mainly in agriculture and mining.

Town council
The municipal election held on March 6, 2016, yielded the following results:

Mayor
Johannes Hanisch has been mayor since July 1, 2017.

Town partnerships

 * 🇫🇷 Privas, France, since 1958
 * 🇮🇹 Tortona, Italy, since 1964
 * 🇳🇱 Zevenaar, Netherlands, since 1966
 * 🇸🇰 Kežmarok, Slovakia, since 1990
 * 🇮🇹 Quattro Castella, Italy, since 2002
 * 🇱🇺 Colmar-Berg, Luxembourg, since 2004
 * 🇹🇷 Kızılcahamam, Turkey, since 2006

Coat of arms
The town's arms were granted in 1906 on the occasion of the town's one thousandth anniversary of its first mention in documents. They show a castle in silver on a blue background. The middle tower of the three has a red roof with a golden ball on the peak. The gate, which is shut and strewn with black, is overlaid with a blue inescutcheon, which itself bears the Nassau lion in gold. The arms are modelled on the town's seal from 1329.

Flag
Weilburg's town flag is a horizontal tricolour in yellow, blue and white. The colours are drawn from the tinctures in the coat of arms, with yellow standing for the gold, and white for the silver. Blue was the former ruling counts' colour.

Seal
Weilburg's town seal is first known to have appeared in a document dating from 1327, although it seems likely that it was first acquired on the occasion of the granting of town rights in 1295. The seal bears the inscription "SIGILLUM CIVITATIS IN WILBURC" ("Seal of the Citizenry in Weilburg"). The design itself shows a town wall with two corner towers of the same height, between which is a taller tower with a pointed roof, and in the middle of the town wall a town gate with a coat of arms.

Along with this first seal, most likely made in the late 14th century, a smaller seal was also made. A replacement for this seal was introduced by 1650.

Moreover, a further seal to these three others, which all still exist, was made in 1905, and was likewise modelled on the first seal.

Museums
Schloss Weilburg, the former residential palace of the House of Nassau, Dukes of Nassau-Weilburg, was sold to the State of Prussia in 1935 by Charlotte of Nassau-Weilburg, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, together with her other Nassau residence, Biebrich Palace at Wiesbaden. The ruling House of Luxemburg kept however the burial chapel of their ancestors. This magnificent palace has been a museum since 1935 and can be visited by guided tour.

Housed in the former chancellery building is Weilburg's Bergbau- und Stadtmuseum ("Mining and Town Museum"), which has at its disposal an exhibit area of 1 200 m2. On display are exhibits on Weilburg's town history and a wide assortment about mining in the town and the neighbouring areas. The museum, which has existed since 1972, making it Hesse's oldest mining museum, has also installed a 200 m-long mining gallery exhibit in which the original mining machinery may be seen.

Since May 2008, one part of the museum has also housed roughly one hundred works of Chinese cut paper artworks. This display of Chinese cut paper outside China is thus far unique in the world.

In the outlying centre of Gaudernbach is found the Deutsche Baumaschinen-Modellmuseum ("German Building Machine Model Museum"). The museum was founded by the building company Walter Feickert GmbH in 1989. On display here are roughly 1,200 models of building machines and construction sites.

In 2017 the Rosenhang Museum for contemporary art was opened housing the art collection of its founder Joachim Legner. It is located in a historical and renovated brewery building in Ahäuser Weg.

Regular events
Weilburger Schlosskonzerte is an annual summer festival of mostly classical music held from 1972 at Schloss Weilburg, in the church or open air in the Renaissancehof (Renaissance court).

At the Freienfels castle ruins, five kilometres from Weilburg, the Freienfelser Ritterspiele (knightly games) are held yearly about 1 May. This "living history" event is well known countrywide.

The Weilburger Kirmes is known from historical records to have been kept since 1569. Many customs have been observed for a long time, such as the fair's Anschießen, the endowment of prizes for shooting, first awarded in 1746 by the town and later through prize endowments by the citizens. The fair's sponsor is the Weilburger Bürgergarde, a local club devoted to traditions and founded in 1813. Also now in this club's hands is the continued observance of the traditional Weilburg Church Fair (Weilburger Kirchweih).

Buildings
Weilburg was for many years a residence town and governmental seat of the House of Nassau-Weilburg. Even today, the inner town is still characterized by buildings from that time. The most important building is Schloss Weilburg, dating back to the 14th century. It was converted in the 16th and 18th centuries. The Renaissance parts, known as the Kernschloss (main or central palace) is counted among the best preserved Renaissance palaces in Hesse. After the Baroque expansion under Johann-Ernst of Nassau-Weilburg, it takes in almost half of the Old Town, and including the Protestant Schlosskirche from the early 18th century.

Even the buildings on the marketplace with its Neptunbrunnen (a fountain from 1709) and those in the Old Town were built at the same time as the palace. However, there are also other timber-frame (i.e. half-timbered) houses from the 16th to 19th century.

In the Old Graveyard there is a Calvary Hill along with a Heilig-Grab-Kapelle ("Holy Sepulchre Chapel") oriented towards the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

For the Gymnasium Philippinum Weilburg, a representative building was built in the 18th century, which now houses the district and town library.

In the 19th century, the town grew noticeably beyond its mediaeval limits. On Limburger Straße, Bahnhofstraße and Frankfurter Straße, many loam buildings (or Pisee-Bauten, after the style's name, Pisee) were built. In particular, a row of façades in this style still stands on Bahnhofstraße. In Weilburg stands Germany's tallest building in the Pisee style.

It is said that the Weilburger Tunnelensemble, a set of three tunnels, is unique in the world. These three bores, set one beside the other each have a different function. One is a railway tunnel, another a highway tunnel and the third a waterway tunnel for shipping traffic. This last building work is unique in Germany. The newest tunnel in the set is the Mühlbergtunnel on the Weilburg bypass, opened to the public in 2004.

Near the outlying centre of Drommershausen are found the ruins of the former monastery and Church of Our Dear Lady and St. John in Pfannstiel (a pilgrimage church), which figures in the history of the Order of Saint John. The monastery's and pilgrimage church's first documentary mention came in 1364. The monastery was put under the Nieder-Weisel commandry near Butzbach. In the course of the Reformation, the monastery was dissolved in the 16th century.

Parks
Schloss Weilburg has a Baroque garden that stretches over several terraces along the Lahn.

Furthermore, in the outlying centre of Hirschhausen lies the Tiergarten Weilburg. It was originally the Weilburg Counts' hunting ground, but today it is a zoological garden visited by 110,000 people every year.

Natural monuments
In the outlying centre of Kubach is found the Kristallhöhle, or Crystal Cave. Great parts of this cleft cave's walls are set with countless calcite crystals and calc-sinter. The crystals on the walls in this form are said to be unique in Germany. With a length of roughly 200 m, a breadth of up to 23 m and a height of up to 30 m the cave is believed to be Germany's biggest single natural underground chamber.

Transport
The town lies on the Lahntal railway (serving Koblenz, Limburg, Weilburg, Wetzlar and Gießen) and belongs to the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund. Until 1969, Weilburg was the terminus of the Weiltalbahn coming from Grävenwiesbach. For this line's needs a locomotive shed with a turntable was built at Weilburg's railway station. After the line was abandoned, the buildings were torn down in the 1980s. Even the former goods and marshalling station has been converted into three sidings and a passing loop. Weilburg can be reached by Bundesstraßen 49 and 456, which link it to Autobahnen A 3 (Cologne–Frankfurt) from Limburg and A 45 (Dortmund–Aschaffenburg) from Wetzlar, as well as from the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region.

Bundesstraße 456 crosses the Lahn in Weilburg over the Oberlahnbrücke ("Upper Lahn Bridge"). This was built as part of the Weilburg bypass. Also crossing the Lahn in Weilburg are the Steinerne Brücke ("Stone Bridge") and the Ahäuser Brücke ("Ahaus Bridge") for motorized traffic, and the Ernst-Dienstbach-Steg, a footbridge.

Established businesses
Weilburg is headquarters to Vistec Semiconductor Systems.

Education
Weilburg has a centuries-old tradition as a school town. As early as 1231, a Scholaster (monastic schoolmaster) is mentioned and in 1360 the monastery school itself. The school's successor was the Evangelical school founded on 15 October 1540 by Count Philipp III of Nassau-Weilburg. Weilburg's oldest school, the Gymnasium Philippinum, grew out of this forerunner school.

On schooldays, Weilburg's educational institutions are attended by more than 8,000 young learners.

The following schools are to be found today in Weilburg:

Rogers v. Koons

Rogers v. Koons, 960 F.2d 301 (2d Cir. 1992), is a leading U.S. court case on copyright, dealing with the fair use defense for parody. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit found that an artist copying a photograph could be liable for infringement when there was no clear need to imitate the photograph for parody.

Background
Art Rogers, a professional photographer, took a black-and-white photo of a man and a woman with their arms full of puppies. The photograph was simply entitled, Puppies, and was used on greeting cards and other generic merchandise.

Jeff Koons, an internationally known artist, found the picture on a postcard and wanted to make a sculpture based on the photograph for an art show on the theme of banality of everyday items. After removing the copyright label from the postcard, he gave it to his assistants with instructions on how to model the sculpture. He asked that as much detail be copied as possible, though the puppies were to be made blue, their noses exaggerated, and flowers to be added to the hair of the man and woman.

The sculpture, entitled, String of Puppies, became a success. Koons sold three of them for a total of $367,000.

Upon discovering that his picture had been copied, Rogers sued Koons and the Sonnabend Gallery for copyright infringement. Koons admitted to having copied the image intentionally, but attempted to claim fair use by parody.

Opinion of the court
The court found both "substantial similarity" and that Koons had access to the picture. The similarity was so close that the average lay person would recognize the copying, a measure for evaluation. Thus the sculpture was found to be a copy of the work by Rogers.

On the issue of fair use, the court rejected the parody argument, as Koons could have constructed his parody of that general type of art without copying Rogers' specific work. That is, Koons was not commenting on Rogers' work specifically, and so his copying of that work did not fall under the fair use exception.

Award
The Court of Appeals determined that there were issues of fact and remanded the issue of damages to the District Court. Koons and Rogers, however, reached a confidential settlement.
