 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Delete --Gareth Hughes 16:58, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

List of songs whose title appears more than twenty times in the lyrics
A song can easily be made with it's title occurring more than 20 times. People will flip through their CD, vinyl and tape collections and find lots of songs like that. Comment this article has been up since 15 March 2003. There are many, many edits to it and perhaps that should be brought to consideration prior to its deletion. This list represents nothing but a collection of trivial facts. While it might be of interest to some, it just does not impress me as the kind of stuff appropriate for an encyclopedia. Perhaps that is an overly deletionist approach. I dunno.--Gaff talk 06:50, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete since this trait is rather common in songs; rendering the topic subtrivial. Not to mention the list is rendered unmaintainable as well. --SuperDude 04:04, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete in accordance with the nomination, SuperDude's comment, and of course WP:NOT section 1.7 regarding indiscriminate collection of information. The Literate Engineer 04:07, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I find this rather silly delete [[Image:Smilie.gif|20px]]Molotov [[Image:Caranimationforvmolotov.gif|25px]]  (talk)  04:14, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete all lists of songs that do not establish some sort of plausible and substantial artistic commonality between the entries. And... why 20? flowersofnight 04:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Its sad just how much energy it is taking to delete stuff like this.  Its going to become a major problem.  Maybe there should be more steps to be got through to post an article in the first place?  Like article gets submitted, then needs vote to create rather than vote to delete?  In any case, this ones gotta go.--Gaff talk 04:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Just think, if more people voted on Centralized discussion/Lists of songs this might be easier in the future —Wahoofive (talk) 04:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Who dreams these articles up; please get a life. Storm Rider 05:09, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I quote (from the link above): Some Wikipedians feel that some topics are unsuitable by virtue of the nature of the topic. They feel that some topics are trivial, non-encyclopedic, or not related to human knowledge. If you create a list like the "list of shades of colours of apple sauce", be prepared to explain why you feel this list contributes to the state of human knowledge.. this list is like the colours of apple sauce. Overly-long, potentailly unupdatable, trivial (why could it not be 25 times? or thirty? Do we need a separate article for all of them?) and thus deletable. Batmanand 06:55, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete an unmaintainable, trivial list with arbitrary criteria. Yeesh. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 07:15, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Batmanand. I hate to delete something that people have put a significant effort into, but I don't think these song lists are appropriate for an encyclopedia. Can it be moved to a user page or offsite? -- Kjkolb 07:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Meaningless trivia. CalJW 11:46, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Utterly pointless. How about a list of songs whose title appears more than 10 times, and 50 times, and 3 times - it's a completely arbitrary selection and totally useless. --StoatBringer 12:13, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah. There are many other similar articles that could be created. Delete --Optichan 16:40, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, pointless listcruft. Punkmorten 12:24, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * RETAIN. If you're going to keep articles on moronic and useless topics like whether we really went to the moon or not, then you can't argue for deleting this one, which is truly factual even if it's trivial. Wahkeenah 17:11, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, but...who would ever go to an encyclopedia to find out a piece of information like this?--Gaff talk 17:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Who are we to presume to tell readers what they should be allowed to look for or not? Wahkeenah 17:27, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * WE are Wikipedians. WE have limitted server space and bandwidth. WE have a deletion policy, which anyone is welcome to add to. WE, therefore, have perfect right to say what should and should not be in our encyclopaedia. Batmanand 11:09, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete More useless listcruft --JAranda | watz sup 19:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivial listcruft. I really wish the time and energy put into stuff like this was devoted to real articles. MCB 23:33, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If you deleted all the useless articles on wikipedia, you could save a bundle on disk space, on the TRS-80 this website runs on. So much "listcruft", so little time. Wahkeenah 23:53, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Not useful. *drew 05:44, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone can explain why twenty is such a magical number that the existence of this list won't demand complimentary lists for songs that repeat the title nineteen times (or twenty-one times, etc). -Sean Curtin 07:20, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete there are some possible interesting criteria to make lists of songs out of, this is not one. --TimPope 09:50, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Since it seems clear that this article will be deleted, I'm wondering if it might set the record for the article that existed the longest before being deleted (as noted above, it has endured for more than two and a half years). Given that most deleted articles are only a few days or weeks old, that has to be noteworthy. Andrew Levine 22:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This is the very definition of a trivial list. Xoloz 12:00, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Archive, then delete. I actually find the list interesing.  If anybody can, send/link me a copy of the page before it's deleted. --G VOLTT 00:04, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Unmaintanable. Also, WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. I appreciate that someone went through the trouble of counting the number of times a song's title appears in the song (which activity, at the same time, I find somewhat odd), but this is really the epitome of trivia. - Sensor 03:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * RETAIN (mostly because there is only one vote for that so far), and to whoever was asking 'who comes to an encyclopedia looking for this kind of thing', how many people are directed here by search engines, that may not know where to be looking. (I confess I got to the page through an internal link, but the title did interest me enough to follow it.) just some random surfer

Design change
This particular page redesign's main discussion point is at WT:USH. — Rob (  talk  ) 20:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Content of "States traversed"
So... what's the balance between "a summary of U.S. Route 20 in X" and "not enough content"? — Rob (  talk  ) 16:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Looking at the article as it is right now, the balance is fine east to Indiana, where the sections basically bottom out from Ohio east. AFAIK, no US 20 state-specific articles currently exist east of Indiana, so we shouldn't be concerned with the balance right now, just content. -- T M F Let's Go Mets - Stats 19:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Sign in Kenmore
For a few months (back in 2006 IIRC), there was a sign on westbound Comm Ave around Deerfield St., saying "Begin US 20. xxx Oregon, yyy miles." "20" was on the usual shield, but the sign was green-and-white instead of black-and-white. Anyone else see this, have a photo, or have an idea who might have placed it? --Jnik 17:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

On December 8, 2016, state officials in Boston and Newport placed matching signs at their respective ends of US-20; can folks get pictures of them for this article? https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2016/12/07/road-trip-road-that-begins-boston-goes-all-way-oregon-and-new-sign-will-point-way/IKhh3oeYiF3GyhJRGRI2GJ/story.html MarkHB (talk) 16:18, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

What's with the Eastern and Western sections?
The article has two sections that divide the highway into an 'Eastern' and 'Western' section, but doesn't discuss this. It seems a fairly arbitrary division. Isn't dividing by state enough? MikZ (talk) 21:35, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * US 20 travels through Yellowstone National Park, but no U.S. highways are signed within the park. Charlotte Allison (Morriswa) (talk) 22:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

US 20 and Interstate 90
Between Boston and Rockford, Interstate 90 is never far from US 20, If one is headed west at Rockford, one finds that Interstate 90 makes a decisive turn to the north into Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota (which US 20 never enters). Interstate 90 and US 20 don't get really close in Wyoming even if they are parallel, but at Gillette, Wyoming, Interstate 90 takes another sharp northerly change in direction and heads into Montana, which US 20 never enters. In fact a place just east of Rockford is the most westward point at which Interstate 90 and US 20 have any contact. In Iowa, Nebraska, and eastern Wyoming, US 20 could just as easily be described as parallel to Interstate 80.

OK, US 20 heads a bit north of west in central and western Wyoming on its way to Yellowstone National Park, and the distance from the park route  that continues US 20 gets closer to Interstate 90 as it does in any point west of about Dubuque. Then US 20 turns abruptly southwestward in Idaho as Interstate 90 again heads northwestward on its way to Seattle.

I made the modification in the article.Pbrower2a (talk) 23:36, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Length
It's come up on AARoads that the 3,365-mile length quoted in this article is inaccurate. Weingroff got his length data from the 1989 AASHTO log, and it was demonstrated by someone working with a breakdown of the data that went into that log that the only way from that data to get a length of 3,365 miles is to also add all of US-20's bannered routes to the total, and thus, strictly speaking, is wrong. It also, of course, doesn't take into accounts any realignments since 1989, of which there have been several.

Could someone survey the relevant DOT sources and put together a more accurate length? —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 17:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Mike Minor (actor)

Michael Fedderson (December 7, 1940 – January 28, 2016), known as Mike Minor, was an American actor best known for his role as Steve Elliott on Petticoat Junction (1966–1970).

Early life
Minor was born on December 7, 1940, in San Francisco to newspaper advertising man Don Fedderson, who would later become a leading television producer, and Helen Macie "Tido" Minor.

He began voice lessons in 1953 at the age of 13. His first singing job was at Ye Little Club in Beverly Hills, where he was engaged for two weeks and held over for ten. He attended University High School in Los Angeles and Brown Military Academy in San Diego. After that he appeared at Bimbo's 365 Club in San Francisco, the Rat Fink Room in New York City, the Elegante in Brooklyn, Izzy's Supper Club in Vancouver and the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

Television
In 1961, Minor played the character Ray in an episode of My Three Sons, a show produced by his father. Before he played Steve Elliott on Petticoat Junction in seasons four through seven (1966–70), two years earlier, Mike Minor played as Dan Plout, the son of Kate rival Selma Plout who Kate thought older daughter Billie Jo was going to marry in 11 episode of the second season (Mother Of The Bride, December 15, 1964). Two years later, in the second show of season four, Elliott, a pilot, crashed his airplane in Hooterville, then recovered and eventually married the character Betty Jo Bradley, though two seasons earlier, he portrayed the character of Dan Plout, and married a friend of Billie Jo’s in an episode titled “Mother of the Bride” which aired on December 15, 1964. Seasons 6 and 7 of the series focused on the newlywed couple of Betty Jo and Steve, and their newborn daughter Kathy Jo Elliott. Many sources erroneously reported that Minor sang the series' title song; in fact, it was sung by Curt Massey, the series' music composer, who co-wrote the song with show creator and producer Paul Henning.

Among Minor's other television credits were The Donald O'Connor Show (1968 version), The Beverly Hillbillies, CHiPs, Vega$, and L.A. Law.

In the 1970s, Minor made brief appearances on daytime shows The Edge of Night and As the World Turns. In the 1980s, he appeared as Brandon Kingsley on All My Children (1980–1982) and as Dr. Royal Dunning on Another World (1983–1984).

Stage
In 1968, Minor made his stage debut, playing the romantic lead in The Impossible Years with Ozzie and Harriet Nelson.

Music
Minor recorded two albums, including This Is Mike Minor (1966), and numerous singles, including the successful "Silver Dollar" and "One Day at a Time".

Minor sang the theme song ("Primrose Lane") on season one of the Henry Fonda television series The Smith Family.

Personal life
Minor's childhood ambition was to be a professional baseball player, but when he matured he switched to golf. He was a member of the Hollywood Hackers, an organization of show-biz golfers who travelled around the country playing at choice golf courses and entertaining the spectators. On July 22, 1961, Minor married Monyeen Rae Martini; the couple had one son but the marriage ended in divorce.

On September 7, 1968, he married Linda Kaye Henning, who played Betty Jo on Petticoat Junction, following a romance that began on the set. They divorced five years later and had no children. Minor married Marilyn Minor in 1981.

Death
Minor died of cancer on January 28, 2016, at age 75.

Phaeoceros

Phaeoceros is a genus of hornworts in the family Notothyladaceae. The genus is global in its distribution. Its name means 'yellow horn', and refers to the characteristic yellow spores that the plants produce in the horn-shaped sporophyte. The genus Phaeoceros was first recognized in 1951 by Johannes Max Proskauer. The type species is Phaeoceros laevis. The genus is distinguished by having yellow spores, different chloroplast structure, relatively less frilliness of the thallus when compared to Anthoceros, and a relative lack of internal cavities in Phaeoceros.

The yellow color of the spores is the easiest way to distinguish Phaeoceros from the common genus Anthoceros, which produces spores that are dark brown to black. Phaeoceros is often confused with Anthoceros, and dried plants are particularly difficult to distinguish in, but the two genera can always be recognized, when fertile and mature, by the spores. When sterile, the distinguishing characteristic is the absence of lacunae (gaps within the tissue) within the thallus, which in Anthoceros are large and numerous.

Don't know what sort of proof or evidence one needs to provide to edit a page, except to say that I've been driving this road all my life, and can personally attest that US 21 runs parallel to I-77 from Cleveland, Ohio down through WVA and into the Carolinas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.197.236.23 (talk) 17:38, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe you are mistaking Ohio State Route 21 with U.S. Route 21. The wiki article is correct with its current northern terminus in Virginia. Proof is easy, simply provide a reference that shows otherwise.  --WashuOtaku (talk) 23:16, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, I-77 closely parallels old US 21 in Ohio, except to diverge into Akron and Canton., where it largely supplants old Ohio 8.Pbrower2a (talk) 18:47, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Wytheville area edit of 03/18/2021
I removed I 77 / I 81 / US 52 shields and "to" text from US 11 north / 33.8 milemarker entry for clarity. I felt this information (especially shields) to be extraneous and slightly confusing. Actual intersection is not signed in this fashion. Also now matches US 11 south / 33.5 milemarker entry, as it too could be said to be going "to" I 77 / I 81 / US 52.--Gapmtn1 (talk) 14:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Extra history content
There are two problems with the content I just removed from the article. Because of these two issues, I trimmed back the content and request proper citations again.  Imzadi 1979  →   23:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Google Maps shows the current routing of roads and highways. It does not show the historical routings. Assuming that the content was correct, that those roads once carried US 21, Google Maps just cannot source that information unless every road has a name like "Old US 21" or something. You'd need different sources for that, otherwise it's basically the assertion of someone saying that the route plotted on Google Maps is the former routing of US 21, and that's the definition of original research in action.
 * 2) It's a lot of detailed content for a history section. It's not completely out of place, but it doesn't belong here in that format. Rather, we should include the history of the sections that lost the designation and, this is the big part, when they lost that designation.

Fuddruckers

Fuddruckers (sometimes abbreviated Fudds ) is an American fast casual, franchised restaurant chain that specializes in hamburgers. The Fuddruckers concept is to offer large hamburgers in which the meat is ground on-site and buns are baked on the premises. As of 2019, Fuddruckers had 49 company-operated restaurants and 107 franchises across the United States and around the world. The company headquarters is in Houston, Texas. On September 8, 2020, Fuddruckers owner Luby's, Inc. announced that they planned to liquidate existing assets, including Fuddruckers' assets, distributing the proceeds to investors after the proposed sale of the chains. On June 21, 2021, Black Titan Franchise Systems announced a deal to acquire Fuddruckers for $18.5 million.

Founding and growth
Fuddruckers was founded as Freddie Fuddruckers in 1979 by Philip J. Romano in San Antonio, Texas, at a location converted from an old bank to a restaurant. He started the chain because he thought that "the world needed a better hamburger." The Fuddruckers concept was to offer large hamburgers in which the meat was ground on-site and buns were baked on the premises and hamburgers and other dishes were offered with "lots of fresh sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce and vats of cheese sauce." In California, Fuddruckers competed at the high end of the fast-food market against chains such as Flakey Jake's, sometimes with head-to-head competitions in places such as Northridge, California. By 1988, there were 150 restaurants in the chain. Romano left the chain in 1988 to form Romano's Macaroni Grill. In an interview, Romano stated that "I just felt I had done all I could for the concept."

Fuddruckers was purchased in November 1998 by Michael Cannon, and later it was purchased by Magic Brands. The restaurant sometimes made controversial decisions; for example, in 2010 it began enforcing a no-weapons policy, which insisted that patrons should not carry "visible pistols" unless they were security officials. Laws in some U.S. states allow people to carry guns visibly in public. Fuddruckers management had been concerned that the presence of armed patrons might deter unarmed ones from visiting, but the move caused controversy among pro-gun advocates who threatened to retaliate with boycotts of Fuddruckers restaurants.

In August 2014, Fuddruckers opened the first of its new stores called Fuddruckers Deluxe in Newport News, Virginia, a full-service sit down restaurant serving traditional and new menu items, with a wait staff, full bar and multiple TVs, although it does not offer different size burgers or a "produce and fixings bar" like its traditional restaurants. As of 2018, the restaurant has been closed.

Bankruptcy and ownership changes
The 2008 financial crisis hit the restaurant industry hard, including Fuddruckers. On April 22, 2010, the parent of Fuddruckers, Austin-based Magic Brands LLC, announced plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It originally planned to sell most of its assets, including Fuddruckers and the Koo Koo Roo brand eateries, to the Tavistock Group for $40 million. On the same day, the firm announced that 24 Fuddruckers restaurants would be closed, several of them in the metro Washington, D.C. area.

On June 18, 2010, Tavistock was outbid by Luby's for Fuddruckers' assets at auction, with a $61 million winning bid. A second estimate was that the sale amount was for $63.45 million. Luby's acquisition of Fuddruckers and Koo Koo Roo was finalized in 2010. During 2011, there were controversies with previous franchise owners regarding the use of the Fuddruckers brand name.

Luby's closure and dissolution
On June 3, 2020, Luby's Board of Directors announced plans to sell all its operating divisions and assets, including real estate assets. This decision was influenced in part by circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Net proceeds from transactions will benefit Luby's stockholders. The company did not have a definitive timeline for future transactions, but expected to eventually wind down remaining operations.

On September 8, 2020, Luby's further announced it has adopted a plan to liquidate all of its existing assets, as opposed to operating in the current form or merely selling off divisions.

As of September 11, 2020, there were 80 Luby's and Fuddruckers still in operation.

99% of Luby's stockholders voted for dissolution in November 2020. Luby's planned to close all locations by August 2021.

Sale to affiliate of Nicholas Perkins
On June 17, 2021, Luby's announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell the Fuddruckers franchise business operations to Black Titan Franchise Systems LLC, an affiliate of Nicholas Perkins. As a result, the remaining Fuddruckers locations have remained open past the previously planned closure date of August 2021.

Menu
The chain offered the Original Fudds Burger in various sizes, from 1/3 pound, to 1/2 pound, to 2/3 pound, to 1 pound. The primary focus is on hamburgers but other options are offered including chicken, fish and exotic burgers (buffalo, elk, ostrich, and wild boar).

In 2006, Foxwood executive sous chef Scott Ferguson and Mark Collins made a burger weighing 29.6 pounds and costing US$250, for the Fuddruckers restaurant in the casino. The burger was 18.5 inches wide and 8 inches tall. At the time, this was the world's largest commercially available burger.

Franchise model
While some Fuddruckers restaurants are company-owned, the majority are owned by individual franchisees.

In 2010, there were 135 franchisee-owned Fuddruckers around the United States. In 2011, Fuddruckers had 200 restaurants throughout North America, of which two-thirds were owned by small business owners and 59 were company-operated locations. By the end of 2015, Fuddruckers had 188 locations, with 35 outside the US.

Headquarters
The firm has moved its headquarters location several times. Currently, the headquarters is near the northwest district of Houston, Texas. It has been there since the acquisition by Luby's in 2010. From 2005 to 2010, Fuddruckers was headquartered in southwest Austin, Texas; before that, in North Andover, Massachusetts, before that at Cherry Hill Park in Beverly, Massachusetts, before that in One Corporate Place in Danvers, Massachusetts; before that, in Lakeside Office Park in Wakefield, Massachusetts. When it shifted headquarters from the Boston area to Austin in 2005, it spent $1 million and laid off 30 employees to operate more efficiently, according to chief financial officer Matt Pannek. Within six weeks of the move, the company hired 30 new employees for the Austin headquarters. By September 2005 the company employed 80 people in 16000 sqft of space in two temporary offices in the Monterey Oaks Corporate Park in southwest Austin. By December 2005 the company planned to move into about 16,000-17,000 square feet (1,500-1,600 m2) of space in an adjacent building and turn one of the original Austin facilities into a training center and test kitchen. Pannek said that the central location of the headquarters allows the company to more easily communicate with its franchisees across the United States.

Locations
Fuddruckers expanded outside of the United States. There were locations in Canada in the mid-1980s, including Saskatoon and Regina, Saskatchewan. Their first Australian store opening in Brisbane's Eagle Street Pier shopping centre in November 1993, followed by another store in the Logan Hyperdome south of Brisbane in August 1994 (which closed in August 1995, having never made a profit), and a store opening at the Macquarie shopping centre at North Ryde in Sydney in September 1994, all operated under franchise by Butcher Baker Goodtimes Maker until late 1996 when the franchisee went bankrupt and Fuddruckers left the country.

Fuddruckers opened their first Middle Eastern location opening in May 1994 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia by Arabian Food Supplies. Fuddruckers opened restaurants in Argentina in 1988; later, however, sales fell and Fuddruckers left the country. In 2013, Fuddruckers opened its first restaurant in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which later closed. They also opened restaurants in Santiago, Chile and Bogotá, Colombia, all of which have since been closed.

In 2014, Fuddruckers partnered with Italian-based franchisee Vinum et Alia to open 10 restaurants across Italy, Poland, and Switzerland. Their first restaurant opened in Varese (Lombardy). They later added locations in Legnano and Casnate con Bernate, Italy, as well as Warsaw, Poland. However, as of 2019, this franchisee was no longer active and all European locations had been shut down.

As of June 2019, Fuddruckers had 156 locations across the United States and a further 8 run by franchise partners with one each in Saskatoon and Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada; two in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico; one in Caguas, Puerto Rico; and three in Panama City, Panama. An additional 33 locations are licensed in the Middle East, with restaurants in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

In popular culture

 * Fuddruckers was cited in the 2006 American science-fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge, Idiocracy to show the slow devolution of society as the chain's name changes from the family-friendly "Fuddruckers" to the adult-oriented "buttfuckers".

Like the  1911 Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica aimed to be more then a century ago, Wikipedia also threatens to become "the sum of human knowledge" for modern times, with entries at this moment, calculated to represent nearly 3,000 volumes.

Many of my contributions to this juggernaut have been initiated by finding empty entries or stubs during 'Random Article' searches. I am also interested in connections. Many of my minor edits have been to fix links, grammar and spelling. Of the articles that I write, I tend to focus on biographical matters rather than technical ones. I have also contributed quite a few photographs, some of which you can find at the bottom of this page.

Clara Morris

Clara Morris (1846-9 – November 20, 1925) was a Canadian/American stage actress of the Victorian Era.

Early life
Actress Clara Morris was born in Toronto, the eldest child of a bigamous marriage. Sources disagree on the year of her birth, writing it as any of the years from 1846 – 1849, inclusive.

When she was three, her father, whose name was La Montagne, was exposed as a bigamist and her mother moved with Clara to Cleveland, where they adopted Clara's grandmother's name, Morrison. Young Clara received only scanty schooling. In circa 1860 she became a ballet girl in the resident company of the Cleveland Academy of Music, shortening her name to Morris at that time. At the Cleveland Academy of Music, Morris worked under the management of John A. Ellsler.

Stage
After nine years of training with that company she played a leading lady at Wood's Theatre in Cincinnati in 1869. She then appeared in Halifax, Nova Scotia for a summer, and with Joseph Jefferson in Louisville, before going to New York City in 1870. She made her New York debut in September in Man and Wife, directed by Augustin Daly at his Fifth Avenue Theatre. The role had come to her by chance, but she made such an impression in it that Daly starred her in a series of highly emotional roles over the next three years in such plays as No Name, Delmonico's, L'Article 47, Alixe, Jezebel, and Madeline Morel.

Mr. Daly engaged her to play in the Fifth Avenue Theatre, then located on West Twenty-fourth street; not as a leading act, but to fill whichever roles he deemed necessary. In the season of 1870–71, Man and Wife was in preparation for opening when the lead lady originally designated to play the role of Anne Silvester declined the part, and Ms. Morris stepped up to the position. On opening night, September 13, she made her debut in a major city, and ended up being recalled in an early scene in the play before the act was terminated - an unusual occurrence in the theatre at the time.

She left Daly in 1873 and in November of that year starred under A.M. Palmer's management in The Wicked World at the Union Square Theatre.

In 1872, she made a sensation in L'Article 47. Other successes followed and she became known as an actress distinguished for spontaneity and naturalness.

Over the next few years Morris had great successes in Camille in 1874, The New Leah in 1875, Miss Multon (an American version of a French version of "East Lynne"), her most popular role, in 1876, Jane Eyre in 1877, and The New Magdalen in 1882. She also toured extensively, especially in the 1880s, and everywhere mesmerized audiences with her emotional power. Although neither a great beauty nor a great artist, nor trained in elocution or stagecraft, she had an instinctive genius for portraying the impassioned and often suffering heroines of French melodrama.

The passing of the vogue for that sort of theatre, together with her uncertain health, brought her career to a close in the 1890s.

Writing and Speaking
In an article Morris wrote for the March 1904 issue of Metropolitan magazine, she recounted her encounter with Mark Twain. Morris included that the person who was intended to introduce her onstage had missed their train and couldn't attend the performance. Twain offered to introduce Morris instead, and the two walked to the stage, arm in arm. "Thus we made our entrance upon the stage," Morris wrote. "The applause was hearty and prolonged. I thought it was for him, and made no acknowledgment -- he thought it was for me and waited unresponsive. We looked reproachfully at each other -- then we both bowed. The audience understood and laughed happily."

In retirement in Riverdale, New York, she contributed articles on acting to various magazines, wrote a daily newspaper column for ten years, and published numerous books.

Personal life
She married Frederick C. Harriott on November 30, 1874; Morris supported Harriott until he started acting with her, in 1892.

Later life and death
In 1910, Morris became blind, and experienced poverty. The house in which she had lived for 37 years was sold in 1914, and she moved to Whitestone, Long Island.

She died in New Canaan, Connecticut, on November 20, 1925, of a heart attack.

Legacy
There is a plaque on the grounds of the Cleveland Public Library marking the location of Clara Morris' home when she was young. The plaque reads: "On this site, in her girlhood, lived Clara Morris. With limited opportunities she overcame privation and, in her twenties, was recognized as the leading emotional actress on the American stage."

The Clara Morris School, located at 1900 St. Clair Avenue NE, was part of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District until the building was torn down in 1968. Opened in 1868, the building was originally named the St. Clair School and held 16 rooms with "the windows, pointed in the Gothic manner."

Roles

Other notable roles of her career are:

 * Anne Silvester in Man and Wife
 * Lucy Carter in Saratoga
 * Mme. D'Artigues in Jezebel
 * Tilburnia in The Critic
 * Magdalen Vanstone in No Name
 * Constance Sherman in Delmonico's, or Larks Up the Hudson
 * Miss Lulu Tibbetts in An Angel

Works
For some years after 1885, she devoted herself mainly to literary work, writing:

 * A Silent Singer (1899)
 * Little Jim Crow, and Other Stories of Children (1900)
 * Life on the Stage: My Personal Experiences and Recollections (1901)
 * A Pasteboard Crown (1902)
 * Stage Confidences (1902)
 * The Trouble Woman (1904)
 * The Life of a Star (1906)
 * Left in Charge (1907)
 * New East Lynne (1908)
 * A Strange Surprise (1910)
 * Dressing Room Receptions (1911)

In her book Life on the Stage: My Personal Experiences and Recollections she recounts her meeting with John Wilkes Booth the assassin of Abraham Lincoln.

In culture
Barbara Wallace Grossman published A Spectacle of Suffering: Clara Morris on the American Stage in 2009, chronicling Morris' "importance as a feminist in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."

Oscar Wilde, during his visit to America in 1882, saw her perform in The New Magdalen. "Miss Morris is the greatest actress I ever saw," he later wrote. "If it be fair to form an opinion of her from her rendition of this one role, we have no such powerfully intense actress in England. She is a great artist, in my sense of the word, because all she does, all she says, in the matter of the doing and of the saying constantly evoke the imagination to supplement it. That is what I mean by art. She is a veritable genius." See Roy Morris, Declaring His Genius - Oscar Wilde in North America The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London, England, 2013. pp. 39-40. She was "perhaps the world's first method actor," notes author Morris.

Erieye

The Erieye radar system is an Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) developed by Saab Electronic Defence Systems, formerly Ericsson Microwave Systems, of Sweden. It uses active electronically scanned array (AESA) technology. The Erieye is used on a variety of aircraft platforms, such as the Saab 340 and Embraer R-99. It has recently been implemented on the Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft as the GlobalEye.

The Erieye Ground Interface Segment, EGIS, not to be confused with the Aegis combat system, is a major component of the software used by the Erieye system.

The radar provides 300 degree coverage and has an instrumental range of 450 km and detection range of 350 km in a dense hostile electronic warfare environment—in heavy radar clutter and at low target altitudes. The radar is capable of identifying friends or foes, and has a sea surveillance mode.

The Erieye system has full interoperability with NATO air defence command and control systems.

History

In 1985, Ericsson Microwave Systems were contracted by the Swedish Defence Material Administration to develop what would become the PS-890 Erieye AEW radar. In 1985, a dummy dual-sided phased array antenna was tested on a twin-engined Fairchild Metro aircraft. In 1987, the Metro aircraft was fitted with the radar system for flight trials. In 1993, production started on six radars for the Swedish Air Force, for fitting in Saab 340 aircraft. In 1996, the first two production radars were delivered. The name Erieye is short for Ericsson eye.

Pakistan
In February 2019, the Pakistan Air Force launched retaliatory airstrikes on Indian military installations in Indian Administered Jammu and Kashmir in response to India's violation of Pakistani airspace and the bombing of a wooded area at Balakot. While fighter jets from various PAF squadrons executed the airstrikes, Saab-2000 Erieye AWACS along with DA-20 EW supported them throughout the operation.

Design

The Erieye AEW&C mission system radar is an active, phased-array, pulse-doppler sensor that can feed an onboard operator architecture or downlink data, via an associated datalink subsystem, to a ground-based air defence network. The system employs a large aperture, dual-sided antenna array housed in a dorsal 'plank' fairing. The antenna is fixed. The beam is electronically scanned, which provides for improved detection and significantly enhanced tracking performance, compared with radar-dome antenna systems.

Erieye detects and tracks air and sea targets out to the horizon, and sometimes beyond this due to anomalous propagation — instrumented range has been measured at 450 km. Typical detection range against fighter-sized targets is approximately 425 km, in a 150° broadside sector, both sides of the aircraft. Outside these sectors, performance is reduced in forward and aft directions.

Other system features include: Adaptive waveform generation (including digital, phase-coded pulse compression); Signal processing and target tracking; track while scan (TWS); low side lobe values (throughout the system's angular coverage); low- and medium-pulse repetition frequency operating modes; frequency agility; Air-to-air and sea surveillance modes; and target radar cross-section display.

The radar operates as a medium- to high-PRF pulse-Doppler, solid-state radar, in E/F-band (3 GHz), incorporating 192 two-way transmit/receive modules that combine to produce a pencil beam, steered as required within the operating 150° sector each side of the aircraft, one side at a time. It is understood that Erieye has some ability to detect aircraft in the 30° sectors fore and aft of the aircraft heading, but has no track capability in this sector.

Development
GlobalEye consists of a suite of sensors using Erieye ER (Extended Range) radar and mission system, installed in the Bombardier Global 6000 long-range business jet.

Go to the Mirror!

"Go to the Mirror!" is a song written by Pete Townshend of the Who. It appears as the fifteenth track on the group's first rock opera, Tommy (1969). "Go to the Mirror!" is included on the list of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

About
Author Chris Charlesworth describes "Go to the Mirror!" as a "key Tommy song." The song advances the plot describing Tommy's healing process progressing through his ability to see his reflection.

It is sung by a doctor who tells Tommy's parents that, after numerous tests, there is nothing medically wrong with him, and his problems, while very real ("He seems to be completely unreceptive / The tests I gave him show no sense at all"), are psychosomatic ("All hope lies with him, and none with me"). However, as they are trying to reach him, Tommy's subconscious is also trying to reach out to them ("See me, feel me / Touch me, heal me").

In the movie version of Tommy, the doctor is played by Jack Nicholson. In the Broadway musical's original 1993 production, the song was sung by Norm Lewis and Alice Ripley, who played the Doctor and his Assistant, respectively. In the Film Version, the line "Go to the Mirror Boy,” the title’s track, is left out of the lyrics, as well as the "Listening to You" verse which was included in the original version by The Who.

The song invokes two recurring themes of the album, "See Me, Feel Me", and "Listening to You", which first appear (in lyric form) as the "Christmas" interlude, and is also the song cycle's finale (as part of the track "We're Not Gonna Take It"). This version in "Go to the Mirror!" is sung by Pete Townshend rather than Roger Daltrey. Though Daltrey sings the majority of Tommy's parts, here he has been singing as the Doctor, so Townshend singing as Tommy provides effective contrast.

The original demo Townshend recorded for the song includes one extra verse not used in the final recording, "I've kicked him, licked him, rubbed him, hit him, loved him / Everything in vain to let him know / I'm here my son, your dad, I wait for your sign / And in my heart frustration overflows." The song was also to be followed by the 10-second track titled "Success," but it was ultimately dropped.

The repeating chords in this song are E, B, and A. After two lines with those chords, the third line goes from a G# into a C#m (then two hits on a B chord to end the line.) The fourth and final line of the chorus is almost all on A chords and ends on a B7.

Release
"Go to the Mirror!" was released as a single in Australia, backed with "I'm Free".

Personnel

 * Roger Daltrey – lead vocals
 * Pete Townshend – guitar, keyboards, backing vocals, co-lead vocals
 * John Entwistle – bass guitar, backing vocals
 * Keith Moon – drums

Ohio/Pennsylvania?
Any more legitimacy to what's listed here? (I e-mailed the page author a while back, and he replied with a map scan showing two US-121 shields along Ohio 14, one between Twinsburg and Streetsboro, and one between Deerfield and Salem.) Mapsax 00:56, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * No, I haven't been able to find anything that would bring credibility to the extension into Ohio and Pennsylvania. I'm fairly certain that, because of the northern terminus of US 121 in Beckley, that it is unlikely to be extended northward.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 04:03, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Is it proposed or is it under construction?
This article is pretty ambiguous as to whether one it is. The material in the article suggests it's under construction, but the "proposed" assumes that this road is only an idea. Clarification, please? —Onore Baka Sama(speak 19:35, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Araki Murashige

Araki Murashige (荒木 村重) was a retainer of Ikeda Katsumasa, head of the powerful "Setssu-Ikeda clan" of Settsu Province. Under Katsumasa, Murashige sided with Oda Nobunaga following Nobunaga's successful campaign to establish power in Kyoto.

Military life
Murashige became a retainer of Oda Nobunaga and become daimyō (feudal lord) of Ibaraki Castle in 1573 and gained further notoriety through military exploits across Japan.

In 1571, Murashige and Nakagawa Kiyohide killed Wada Koremasa a senior retainer of Ashikaga Shogunate at Battle of Shiraigawara.

In 1574, Murashige along with Hashiba Hideyoshi capture Arioka Castle (Itami castle) from Itami Chikaoki and Nobunaga given Itami castle to Murashige.

In 1576, he commanded part of Nobunaga's army in the ten-year siege of the Ishiyama Honganji. But in 1578, during the Siege of Miki he was accused of sympathies to the Mōri clan, one of Nobunaga's enemies. Murashige retreated to Itami Castle (Hyōgo Prefecture) and held out there against a one-year siege by the forces of Oda before the castle fell in 1579.

Araki escaped from the Siege of Itami (1579) and lived the rest of his life as a chanoyu disciple of Sen no Rikyū. He also served as a teaist and took the tea name of Dōkun 道薫. Rikyū shared some of his most detailed teachings with Murashige, one example being the well-known ‘Araki Settsu Kami-ate Densho’ (荒木摂津守宛伝書) manuscript. In the ‘Teaist Genealogy of All Generations Past and Present’ (Kokin Chajin Keifu 古今茶人系譜), Murashige is included as one of Rikyū’s Seven Sages.

In 1580, Ikeda Tsuneoki beat Murashige at Siege of Hanakuma castle, who locked himself in the castle. Ultimately, he escaped and defected to the Mori clan. Later Tsuneoki was given Murashige's domain.

Tale
There is a semi-legendary tale told about Araki's creative use of a tessen, or iron fan, in saving his own life. After being accused of treason by Akechi Mitsuhide, Araki was called before his lord, Oda Nobunaga. As was customary, he bowed low over the threshold before entering the room. But he sensed somehow Nobunaga's plan to have his guards slam the fusuma sliding doors on him, breaking his neck. Araki placed his fan in the doors' groove, preventing the doors from closing. Nobunaga's plan revealed, Araki's life was spared, with much reconciliation.

His son, raised under his mother's name, was the artist Iwasa Matabei.

Popular culture

 * Honobu Yonezawa's Naoki Prize-winning novel "The Samurai and the Prisoner (Kokurōjō)" tells the story of Murashige during the siege of Itami.

Talk:2007 Rugby World Cup – Europe qualification

hiya. can you tell me what your source is for the points awarded in the qualifying tournaments (for 3/2/1 for W/D/L). I'm doing the americas and asia pages and I couldn't confirm that anywhere. cheers mlaird 04:13, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Points System
3/2/1 is the system the FIRA-AER website are using. See here. Whether that's the system the other regions are using, I don't know. It's equivalent to 2/1/0, assuming each team plays the same number of matches.

 * cheers. Seems likely that they're all using the same, though weird that it's different to the system at the RWC. Since ARFU and PARA don't even seem to have a web site, and there's nothing on the IRB site, I'll just go with that - in most cases it doesn't matter anyway.

Being a native of New Haven, Connecticut, I have grown up in the shadow of one of the world's most influential academic institutions, Yale_University. I have witnessed first hand how information and knowledge which is not free and public can stagnate and become elite. Wikipedia defies this paradigm and I am pleased to be allowed to add to it and draw from it.

I currently major in physics and minor in mathematics and german at Southern_Connecticut_State_University and hope to attend graduate school in the next year, where I wish to combine applied physics with archaeological surveying methods.

Split suggestion; Bannered routes of U.S. Route 321
Suggesting (since November 2012) that the section on bannered routes gets split off into a list of Bannered routes of U.S. Route 321, and replaced with a link in a "See also" section. The current bannered routes section of this article takes up half of it, and there's always potential for expansion of the bannered routes separately. -User:DanTD (talk) 14:36, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I am fine with that idea. --WashuOtaku (talk) 14:53, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

 * That lack of activity since 2004 is a bad sign. I can go to the homepage from the link you provided directly, but if I were to go to the homepage from the US 321 page or some of the others, I'm out of luck. -User:DanTD (talk) 18:43, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

 * It is I guess, but it is mostly an reliable source and provides a lot of history for the highways in the area, which can be backed-up with historic maps on NCDOT website. However, I have been adding "unreliable source" tags when I source the material nowadays. --WashuOtaku (talk) 21:31, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter. It's still an SPS. I was told not to use the North Dakota Highways Page for the same reason, even though it's fairly reliable. Either way, the creator of the site probably got the info from a different, possibly more reliable website. It would be better if you could find an official NCDOT site. – TC N7  JM  21:43, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I can see that the material for expansion is currently not forthcoming. As stated above, we cannot really split until the material is available.

Deletion of the Picture
It Seems to me that the picture of the battle between Wobbuffet and Feraligatr is misleading. The Wobbuffet is on lvl 3, meaning that this Wobbuffet was obtained by cheating.

future in Indiana
Projections of new highway realignments in the planning stage are not definitive. Many proposed highways and realignments never come to be, and even if they are on a highway planner's map, the new, realigned, or upgraded highway falls short of certainty unless some commitment of effort such as condemnation of property in the right-of-way or grading of a route begins. Lines on a map of a proposed highway are not proof that the highway will even be started. Pbrower2a (talk) 04:26, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Such additions are encyclopedic if they can be verified. You're correct that the proposal is not proof that the changes will be made, but if the proposal comes from an appropriate actor in a reliable source that can be verified, it's worthy of inclusion. If the proposal is later cancelled, then we update the article to reflect that fact at that time. By appropriate actor, I mean an agency that can actually have some authority in carrying out the changes, like a state DOT, AASHTO or the FHWA.  Imzadi 1979  →   05:23, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * True. Usually there is some question of which will be the preferred route, and even the debate, should it appear in an authoritative source such as the state DOT, will be encyclopedic. Rejected routes (if verifiable) would be encyclopedic data, as has been shown on other highways There might be contests. "Proposed routes" on unofficial maps are often guesswork by a cartographer. Even "reasonable" guesses without verifiability are not encyclopedic. Even I can draw lines on a state highway map suggesting corridors for proposed highways. There would of course be no verifiability. Pbrower2a (talk) 19:23, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Ivan Kotliarevsky

Ivan Petrovych Kotliarevsky (Іван Петрович Котляревський; 9 September 1769 – 10 November 1838) was a Ukrainian writer, poet and playwright, social activist, regarded as the pioneer of modern Ukrainian literature. Kotliarevsky was a veteran of the Russo-Turkish War.

Biography
Kotliarevsky was born in the Ukrainian city of Poltava in the family of a clerk Petro Kotliarevsky of Ogończyk Coat of Arms. After studying at the Poltava Theological Seminary (1780–1789), he worked as a tutor for the gentry at rural estates, where he became familiar with Ukrainian folk life and the peasant vernacular. He served in the Imperial Russian Army between 1796 and 1808 in the Siversky Karabiner Regiment. Kotliarevsky participated in the Russo-Turkish War (1806–1812) as a staff-captain (something of 1LT or junior CPT) during which the Russian troops laid the siege to the city of Izmail. In 1808 he retired from the Army. In 1810 he became the trustee of an institution for the education of children of impoverished nobles. In 1812, during the French invasion of Imperial Russia he organized the 5th Ukrainian Cossack Regiment in the town of Horoshyn (Khorol uyezd, Poltava Governorate) under the condition that it will be left after the war as a permanent military formation. For that he received a rank of major.

He helped stage theatrical productions at the Poltava governor-general's residence and was the artistic director of the Poltava Free Theater between 1812 and 1821. In 1818 together with Vasyl Lukashevych, V. Taranovsky, and others he was the member of the Poltava Freemasonry Lodge The Love for Truth (Любов до істини). Kotliarevsky participated in the buyout of Mikhail Shchepkin out of the serfdom. From 1827 to 1835 he directed several philanthropic agencies.

The first modern Ukrainian writer
Ivan Kotliarevsky's mock-heroic 1798 poem Eneida (Енеїда), is considered to be the first literary work published wholly in the modern Ukrainian language. It is a loose translation of an earlier poem (Вирги́лиева Энеи́да, вы́вороченная наизна́нку) published in 1791 by the Russian poet N. P. Osipov, but his text is absolutely different. In 1845, Vincent Ravinski wrote a Belarusian version of "Eneida travestied" in the Russian magazine Mayak. Although Ukrainian was an everyday language to millions of people in Ukraine, it was officially discouraged from literary use in the area controlled by Imperial Russia. Eneida is a parody of Virgil's Aeneid, where Kotliarevsky transformed the Trojan heroes into Zaporozhian Cossacks. Critics believe that it was written in the light of the destruction of Zaporizhian Host by the order of Catherine the Great.

Kotliarevsky's two plays, also living classics, Natalka Poltavka (Natalka from Poltava) and Moskal-Charivnyk (The Muscovite-Sorcerer), became the impetus for the creation of the Natalka Poltavka opera and the development of Ukrainian national theater. Where the love for the Motherland inspires heroism, there an enemy force will not stand, there a chest is stronger than cannons. (Любов к Отчизні де героїть, Там сила вража не устоїть, Там грудь сильніша од гармат.)

Legacy

Partial translations of Eneida date back to 1933 when a translation of first few stanzas of Kotliarevsky's Eneida by Wolodymyr Semenyna was published in the American newspaper of Ukrainian diaspora Ukrainian Weekly on 20 October 1933. However, the first full English translation of Kotliarevsky's magnum opus Eneida was published only in 2006 in Canada by a Ukrainian-Canadian Bohdan Melnyk, most well known for his English translation of Ivan Franko's Ukrainian fairy tale Mykyta the Fox (Лис Микита).

Perfect Stranger (film)

Perfect Stranger is a 2007 American neo-noir psychological thriller film, directed by James Foley, and starring Halle Berry and Bruce Willis in their first film together since The Last Boy Scout (1991). It was produced by Revolution Studios for Columbia Pictures.

Plot
Under the pen name David Shane, reporter Rowena Price investigates a sex scandal involving a senator alongside her researcher Miles Haley. However, the story is shut down when their source becomes silent and her editor, a supporter of the senator, puts a stop to the story.

While walking home, Rowena meets her childhood friend Grace Clayton, who seeks her help in taking down wealthy advertising executive Harrison Hill. Grace gives Rowena her e-mails as proof of their extramarital affair, which Hill recently ended.

A few days later, Grace is found dead, drowned and poisoned with belladonna, leading Rowena to suspect Hill. With Miles' help, she goes undercover as a temporary worker at Harrison's advertising company, H2A. While setting up gift bags for a Victoria's Secret collection launch, she meets fellow advertiser Gina, who reveals that Hill is rich because of his wife, Mia, and if she left him, he would be penniless, causing him to be more secretive with his affairs.

Rowena flirts with Hill both online and in real life, but she does not realize that the online Hill is actually Miles, who is secretly obsessed with her. One evening, Hill catches Rowena snooping, thinks she is a corporate spy, and fires her.

At Miles's apartment, Rowena discovers a shrine to her and explicit pictures of Miles and Grace, before she confronts him. He defends himself by providing evidence that Hill had access to belladonna for poisoning. Rowena goes to the police, and Hill is arrested for the murder of Grace.

After Hill's conviction, Miles visits Rowena and reveals that he knows she is the real killer and used the investigation to frame Hill. Rowena then flashes back to a memory of her father attempting to molest her, and her mother subsequently bludgeoning him to death with a fireplace poker. A younger Grace watches from her window as they bury the body; Grace has been blackmailing Rowena with this information ever since.

Miles goes on to describe how Rowena had plotted the murder to end Grace's blackmail and pinned the crime on Hill. When he asks how she intends to keep him quiet, she stabs him to death and ransacks the kitchen. Rowena then calls the police, claiming to have been attacked by Miles and that he might have been the real murderer. As she waits for the police, a man looks out of a neighboring window, having witnessed the events.

Filming
Some of the scenes were filmed in the lobby of the new 7 World Trade Center, before its opening on May 23, 2006.

Marketing
The characters of Grace, Josie, and Mrs. Hill all have blogs dating back to September or October 2006 with YouTube videos of the respective actresses, in character, speaking the text of the entry with minor changes. This was a relatively new form of viral marketing similar to an alternate reality game.

Home media
Perfect Stranger was released on August 21, 2007, on DVD and Blu-ray.

The film was reissued on Blu-ray on April 4, 2017, by Mill Creek Entertainment. It is included as a 3-pack with Straightheads (2007) and Wind Chill (2007), the latter two making their US Blu-ray debut.

Critical response
Perfect Stranger holds an approval rating of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 142 reviews, with an average rating of 3.5/10. The site's critics' consensus reads: "Despite the presence of Halle Berry and Bruce Willis, Perfect Stranger is too convoluted to work, and features a twist ending that's irritating and superfluous. It's a techno-thriller without thrills." On Metacritic, the film holds an aggregated score of 31 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale.

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said, "Foley fights a losing battle with Perfect Stranger, a dull, dumb and unforgivably dated thriller, free of thrills and any kind of perfection, save a genius for product placement" ... "it's a techno thriller that treats the already cliché topic of Web abuse with an idiotic sense of discovery."

Wild Rice River (Minnesota)

The Wild Rice River is a tributary of the Red River of the North in northwestern Minnesota in the United States. It is 183 mi long. Via the Red River, Lake Winnipeg and the Nelson River, it is part of the watershed of Hudson Bay. It is one of two Red River tributaries with the same name, the other being the Wild Rice River of North Dakota.

Wild Rice River is an English translation of the native Ojibwe language name.

Course
The Wild Rice flows from Mud Lake in Clearwater County and follows a generally westwardly course through Mahnomen, Norman and Clay counties, through the White Earth Indian Reservation and past the towns of Mahnomen, Twin Valley, Ulen and Hendrum, and just south of Ada, where the nearby headwaters of the Marsh River sometimes act as a distributary to the Red River during periods of high water. In its lower reaches through the Red River Valley, portions of its course have been straightened and channelized.

Tributaries
The Wild Rice River's largest tributaries are the White Earth River, which joins it near Mahnomen, and the South Branch Wild Rice River, which joins it in its lower course in Norman County; the South Branch rises near Ogema in northwestern Becker County and flows 61.4 mi generally westwardly through Clay and Norman counties, past the town of Ulen.
