\beginarticle{The Light Fantastic}

\textbf{\textit{The Light Fantastic}} is a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/comic_fantasy}{comic fantasy} novel by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett}{Terry Pratchett}, the second of the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld}{Discworld} series.
It was published in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986}{1986}. The title is a quote from a poem by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milton}{John Milton}.

The events of the novel are a direct continuation of those in the preceding Discworld novel, \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colour_of_Magic}{The Colour of Magic}}.



After the wizard \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rincewind}{Rincewind} has fallen from the edge of the Discworld, his life is mysteriously saved as he lands back on it.
Meanwhile, the wizards of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh-Morpork}{Ankh-Morpork} discover that the Discworld will soon be destroyed unless the eight spells of the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octavo}{Octavo} are read: the most powerful spells in existence, one of which hides in Rincewind's head.
Consequently, several orders of wizards try to find Rincewind and kill him, led by Trymon, a former classmate of Rincewind's, who wishes to obtain the power of the spells for himself.

After Rincewind, who has met again with \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twoflower}{Twoflower}, escapes them, it becomes apparent that \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_A\%27Tuin}{Great A'Tuin}, the giant turtle that carries the Discworld, has set a new course that leads it directly into a red star with eight moons. Rincewind and Twoflower are accompanied by Cohen the Barbarian, an aging hero, and Bethan, a sacrificial virgin saved by Cohen, with assistance from Rincewind and Twoflower. 

As the star comes nearer and the magic on the Discworld becomes weaker, Trymon tries to put the seven spells still in the Octavo into his mind, in an attempt to save the world and gain ultimate power.
However, the spells prove too strong for him and his mind becomes a door into the ``\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Dimensions}{Dungeon Dimensions}'', from whence strange, horrible creatures try to escape into reality.
After winning a fight against them, Rincewind is able to read all eight spells aloud - whereupon the eight moons of the red star crack open and reveal eight tiny world-turtles that follow their parent A'Tuin on a course away from the star. The Octavo is then eaten by Twoflower's luggage chest.

The book ends with Twoflower and Rincewind parting company, as Twoflower decides to return home, leaving his luggage chest with Rincewind as a parting gift.

\textbf{Slayer} is a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/thrash_metal}{thrash metal} band featuring \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerry_King}{Kerry King} on \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/guitar}{guitar}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Araya}{Tom Araya} on \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bass_guitar}{bass} and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vocals}{vocals}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Hanneman}{Jeff Hanneman} (also on guitar). The band's classic material between \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983}{1983} and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990}{1990} features \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Lombardo}{Dave Lombardo} on \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/drums}{drums} while \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bostaph}{Paul Bostaph} has played on the studio albums since the mid-\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s}{90s}.  However, Lombardo has frequently rejoined Slayer for tours. The band has been recording aggressive metal since the early \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s}{1980s} and have maintained a steady musical approach since their formation in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981}{1981} in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntington_Beach\%2C_California}{Huntington Beach}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California}{California}.

\subsection*{Biography}

\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Lombardo}{Dave Lombardo} left the band in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986}{1986} briefly during the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_in_Blood}{Reign in Blood} tour and was replaced by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Scaglione}{Tony Scaglione} (\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiplash}{Whiplash}).  However after the tour was over, Lombardo came back and asked to rejoin Slayer.  Lombardo left the band again in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992}{1992} (most believed for good) and formed a band called \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grip_Inc}{Grip Inc}.  \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerry_King}{Kerry King} recruited former \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_\%28band\%29}{Forbidden} drummer \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bostaph}{Paul Bostaph} who remained in the band until \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001}{2001}.  Bostaph claimed he had sustained an injury that would hinder his ability to play.  Shortly thereafter he announced he had joined the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_Area}{Bay Area} band \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic}{Systematic}.  Lombardo rejoined Slayer once again during the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Hates_Us_All}{God Hates Us All} tour and has remained there since.

Slayer (along with \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica}{Metallica}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrax_\%28band\%29}{Anthrax}, and others) are often credited with creating the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/thrash_metal}{thrash metal} style, by speeding up the sound of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wave_Of_British_Heavy_Metal}{New Wave Of British Heavy Metal} bands like \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Maiden_\%28band\%29}{Iron Maiden} and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venom_\%28band\%29}{Venom}.  Slayer are also often credited with influencing the creation of the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/death_metal}{death metal} style, as well as providing musical elements for \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/black_metal}{black metal}.  Though Slayer never used the low ``grunt'' vocal style usually associated with death metal, their music -- most notably on the albums \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Awaits}{Hell Awaits}} (\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985}{1985}) and \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_in_Blood}{Reign in Blood}} (\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986}{1986}) -- can be regarded, musically, as proto-death metal.  Moreover, these two albums were their first of many albums to be produced by well-known and respected \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Def_Jam}{Def Jam} Co-Founder, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin}{Rick Rubin}.  

The \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986}{1986} album \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_in_Blood}{Reign in Blood}} was described by the magazine \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerrang\%21}{Kerrang!}} as ``the heaviest album of all time''.  

The band received their first \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy}{Grammy} nomination for ``Best Metal Performance'' on \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_8}{January 8}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002}{2002}.

In \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996}{1996}, a lawsuit was brought against the band by the parents of Elyse Pahler, who accused the band of encouraging their daughter's murderers through their lyrics. The lawsuit was thrown out in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001}{2001}.

\beginarticle{MACHINA II/The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music}

\textbf{\textit{MACHINA II/The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music}}, released \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_5}{September 5} \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_in_music}{2000}, is an internet-only compilation of recordings by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smashing_Pumpkins}{The Smashing Pumpkins}. The songs, outtakes from the \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MACHINA/The_Machines_of_God}{MACHINA/The Machines of God}} sessions, were released to a select few to be placed on the internet as a parting gift to the band's fans, and as a parting thrust to the band's record company, Virgin, who had refused to release the recordings.

At the time the Smashing Pumpkins released \textit{Machina II}, the band had already decided to split up. A limited run of 25 numbered vinyl albums, each accompanied by 3 10" vinyl \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EP}{EP}s, were made available to specially chosen fans, with the express instruction that the music be encoded and placed on the Internet. This request was duly complied with, and the tracks were made available for downloading in time for the band's final European tour.

\textit{Machina II}, the album proper, is a companion piece to \textit{Machina}, continuing the theme of that record. The band had run a competition for fans, in which fans were asked to decipher the meaning hidden in the records, with the single hint that ``June'' is a woman. In part, the \textit{Machina} records are a tribute to \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie}{David Bowie}'s \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggy_Stardust}{Ziggy Stardust} persona.

\textit{Machina II} (the whole) contains several alternate versions of songs which originally appeared on \textit{Machina}, including ``Try, Try, Try'', ``Heavy Metal Machine'', ``Glass and the Ghost Children'' and ``Blue Skies Bring Tears''.

The subtitle ``The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music'' is a reference to an experiment \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Corgan}{Billy Corgan} carried out in April 2000, before the release of \textit{Machina II}, where he gave a fan a tape containing some rare tracks, also with the instruction that the songs be distributed. The tracks on this cassette were ``Glass' Theme'', ``The Everlasting Gaze (Disco King)'', ``Dross'', ``Blue Skies Bring Tears (Arising! version)'', ``If There Is a God'', ``Le Deux Machina (Mike Garson version)'', ``Heavy Metal Machine (Version I)'', ``Here's to the Atom Bomb'', ``Real Love'', ``Money (That's What I Want)'', ``X.Y.U.'', ``Once Upon a Time'', ``Crestfallen'', and an untitled instrumental. ``Here's to the Atom Bomb'' and the untitled track are incomplete, as the tape was a 60 minute copy of a 90 minute cassette.

\subsection*{Track Listing}

SPFC.org's (SPFC was one of the original distributors of the recordings) discography page mentions ``As there was no tracklist included with the release, song titles are given as their standard name, and some were given additional descriptive comments in parentheses by SPFC. A press release issued later includes slightly different versions of the song titles, which are given in quotes as appropriate.'' This information is preserved here, as the songs in question are available under both titles. ``Slow Dawn'' is also listed elsewhere as ``Slow Down''.

\beginarticle{Project Xanadu}

\textbf{Project Xanadu} was founded by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Nelson}{Ted Nelson} in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960}{1960} as the original \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hypertext}{hypertext} project. It was referred to by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Magazine}{Wired Magazine} as ``longest-running \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vaporware}{vaporware} story in the history of the computer industry'': the first attempt at implementation began in 1960, but it wasn't until 1998 that (incomplete) software was released.  In the meantime, the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web}{World Wide Web} came into being, fulfilling many of the project's underlying visions.

\subsection*{History}

During his first year as a graduate student at \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard}{Harvard}, Nelson began implementing the system which contained the basic outline of what would become Project Xanadu: a word processor capable of storing multiple versions, and displaying the differences between these versions. Though he did not complete this implementation, a mock up of the system proved sufficient to inspire interest in others. 

On top of this basic idea, Nelson wished to facilitate ``nonsequential writing'', where the user could choose their own path through an electronic document. He built upon this idea in a paper to the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_for_Computing_Machinery}{ACM} in 1965, calling the new idea ``zippered lists''. These zippered lists would allow compound documents to be formed from pieces of other documents, an idea he would later refer to as \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/transclusion}{transclusion}. In 1967, while working for Harcourt, Brace he named his idea \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanadu}{Xanadu}, in honour of the poem \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubla_Khan}{Kubla Khan}} by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge}{Samuel Taylor Coleridge}.

Ted Nelson published his visionary ideas in his \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974}{1974} book \textit{Computer Lib / Dream Machines} and the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981}{1981} \textit{Literary Machines}. \textit{Computer Lib/Dream Machines} is written in a non-sequential fashion: it is a compilation of Nelson's random thoughts about computing, among other topics. The books are printed back to back, to be flipped between. \textit{Computer Lib} contains Nelson's thoughts on topics which angered him, \textit{Dream Machines} discusses his hopes for the potential of computers to assist the arts.

In 1972, Cal Daniels completed the first demo version of the Xanadu software on a computer Nelson had rented for the purpose, though Nelson soon ran out of money. In 1974, with the advent of computer networking, Nelson revised his thoughts about Xanadu into a centralised source of information which he dubbed a ``docuverse''. 

In the summer of 1979, Nelson lead the latest group of his followers, Roger Gregory, Mark Miller and Stuart Greene, to Swarthmore. In a house rented by Gregory, they hashed out their ideas for Xanadu; but at the end of the summer the group went their separate ways. Miller and Gregory created an addressing system based on \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/transfinite_numbers}{transfinite numbers} which they called tumblers, which allowed any part of a file to be referenced. 

The group continued their work, almost to the point of bankruptcy. In 1983, however, Nelson met John Walker, founder of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk}{Autodesk}, at a conference for the people mentioned in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Levy}{Steven Levy}'s \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers\%3A_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution}{Hackers}}, and the group started working on Xanadu with Autodesk's financial backing.

While at Autodesk, the group, lead by Gregory, completed a version of the software, written in the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_programming_language}{C programming language}, though the software didn't work as well as they wanted. A newer group of programmers, hired from \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_PARC}{Xerox PARC}, used this as justification to rewrite the software in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smalltalk}{Smalltalk}. This effectively split the group into two factions, and the decision to rewrite put a deadline imposed by Autodesk out of the team's reach. In August 1992, Autodesk divested the Xanadu group, which became the Xanadu Operating Company, which struggled due to internal struggles and lack of investment. 

Charlie Smith, the founder of a company called \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex}{Memex} (the name of the hypertext system designed by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vannevar_Bush}{Vannevar Bush}), hired many of the Xanadu programmers and licensed the Xanadu technology, though Memex soon faced financial difficulties, and the unpaid programmers left, taking the computers with them. At around this time, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee}{Tim Berners-Lee} was developing the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web}{World Wide Web}.

In 1998, Nelson released the source code to Xanadu as Project Udanax, in the hope that the techniques and algorithms used could help to overturn some \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patent_}{ software patents}.

\subsection*{The influence of Xanadu}

Many of Project Xanadu's proposed features have found their way into other \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_}{ hypertext systems}, including the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web}{World Wide Web} and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWiki}{WikiWiki} systems. Though lacking in the scope proposed by Nelson, transclusion is practised on the web. \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML}{HTML}'s IFRAME element allows full web pages to be included within other pages, and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS}{RSS} aggregators provide compound web pages which consist of items from several locations.

Though \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/micropayment}{micropayment}s have been slow to take off, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal}{PayPal} is slowly gaining acceptance on the web.

\subsection*{The Web versus Xanadu}

There are several reasons why the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web}{World Wide Web} gained the popularity it now enjoys, while Project Xanadu remains a relatively obscure piece of computing history.

\begin{itemize}\item  \textbf{Complexity vs. Simplicity}
\begin{quote} Project Xanadu contains many complex ideas. Transclusion in Xanadu allows documents to contain any part of any other document, whereas the web merely allows linking to complete documents. The web is compatible with existing \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/file_system}{file system} ideas, while Xanadu would possibly require the use of complicated databases, which may be difficult to maintain.

\end{quote}

\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}\item  \textbf{Copyright}
\begin{quote}Xanadu's model of transclusion may have proven unpopular with authors. Despite the facilities for authors of documents to be paid when part of their work was \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion_}{ transcluded} in another's document, there seems to be no guarantee that the authors of these documents would receive proper credit in the transcluding work. Many authors object to their work being used as the basis of the sort of derivative works which transclusion would allow, but feel comfortable with having their complete work distributed on the web. 

\end{quote}

\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}\item  \textbf{Availability}
\begin{quote}Another factor is that, quite simply, the web was there, and it worked, while Project Xanadu is still incomplete.

\end{quote}

\beginarticle{Equal Rites}

\textbf{\textit{Equal Rites}} is a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/comic_fantasy}{comic fantasy} novel by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett}{Terry Pratchett}.
Published in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987}{1987}, it is the third novel in the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld}{Discworld} series and the first where the main character is not \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rincewind}{Rincewind}.
It introduces the character of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granny_Weatherwax}{Granny Weatherwax} who reappears in several later Discworld novels.

\subsection*{Synopsis}



The wizard Drum Billet knows that he will soon die and travels to a place where an eighth son of an eighth son is about to be born. Since such a boy is destined to become a wizard (on Discworld, the number eight has many of the magical properties that are ascribed to seven in the real world), Billet wants to pass his staff on to him as his successor.

However, the child born is actually a girl, Eskarina. Since Billet notices his mistake too late, the staff is passed on to her.

As she grows up, it becomes apparent that she has uncontrollable powers, and the local witch Granny Weatherwax decides to travel with her to the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unseen_University}{Unseen University} in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh-Morpork}{Ankh-Morpork} - but a female wizard is something completely unheard of on Discworld.

Esk is unsuccessful in her first, direct, attempt to gain entry to the University, but Granny Weatherwax finds another way in; as a servant. While there she follows the progress of an apprentice wizard named Simon, who she had met earlier, on her way to Ankh-Morpork. Simon is a sourceror; a wizard capable of devising new spells. His magic, however, causes a hole to be opened to the dark regions.

\subsection*{Notes}

For reasons never explained by Terry, Esk never appeared in the Discworld novels again. Although she was the main character in the book, the only character (besides Death) who would appear again after the book was \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granny_Weatherwax}{Granny Weatherwax}, but the events of the book were never even mentioned again; the next 'witches' book, \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyrd_Sisters}{Wyrd Sisters}}, starts off with a virtually clean slate. The closest thing to a mention of the book that occurs later in the series is in \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_and_Ladies}{Lords and Ladies}}, when Granny mentions to Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unseen_University}{Unseen University} that she has been there a few times before. Another almost-mention is that granny learned to fly 'late in life' - an event of \textit{Equal Rites}.

\textbf{Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire} is the fourth book in the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter}{Harry Potter} series by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._K._Rowling}{J. K. Rowling}. Published in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000}{2000}, the release of this book had been surrounded by more hype than any other children's book in recent times - outdone only by its successor, \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix}{Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix}}. At 636 pages (hardback British edition) it was fairly large for a children's book. The book attracted a lot of hype, because J. K. Rowling warned that one of the characters would be murdered in the book, raising pre-publishing rumours as to who the murdered character would be. This was also the first Harry Potter book to be published after \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottermania}{Pottermania} had comprehensively gripped the world. Filming of the movie based on this book began in March \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004}{2004} and is due for release in November \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005}{2005}; the screenplay was written by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Kloves}{Steve Kloves}.

This novel won a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Award}{Hugo Award} in 2001.

\subsection*{Plot of the book}



In this book, Harry Potter spends his summer with the Weasleys in anticipation of the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quidditch}{Quidditch} World Cup. During the World Cup, a group of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Eater}{Death Eater}s attack a number of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/muggle}{muggle}s, but flee when the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Mark}{Dark Mark} - Voldemort's sign - mysteriously appears above them. The sign is found to have been made by a wand found with \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winky}{Winky}, the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House-Elf}{House-Elf} of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barty_Crouch}{Barty Crouch}, a respected minister in the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Magic}{Ministry of Magic}. Winky is fired by her master at once. Crouch's treatment of Winky prompts \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermione_Granger}{Hermione} to start campaigning for elves' rights.

When Harry arrives at Hogwarts, he finds that the Triwizard \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tournament}{Tournament} - which was banned since many participants died during it - was to be restarted, and to be held at Hogwarts. The names of all intending participants would be put into a goblet - known as the Goblet of Fire - which would shoot out one name from each of the three competing wizarding schools (\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogwarts}{Hogwarts}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauxbatons}{Beauxbatons}, and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durmstrang}{Durmstrang}). After choosing \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Krum}{Viktor Krum} from Durmstrang, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur_Delacour}{Fleur Delacour} from Beauxbatons, and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedric_Diggory}{Cedric Diggory} from Hogwarts, the Goblet spits out Harry's name - although he was too young to have added his name to the Goblet.

With help from his friends and teachers, Harry manages to make it through the first two parts of the Triwizard Tournament. During the second task{---}\allowhyphens{}to rescue the person the competitor would miss most{---}\allowhyphens{}though Harry finished outside the time limit, he was given bonus points by all but one of the judges{---}\allowhyphens{}as the limit was drawing close, with no sign of the others, he attempted to rescue all of the ``victims'', believing they would die. During this time, his relationship with his best friend, Ron Weasley, is strained by Harry's sudden explosion of fame. This fame soon backfires, as \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Prophet}{Daily Prophet} reporter \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Skeeter}{Rita Skeeter} begins to dig deep to find anything which will tarnish Harry's reputation. Harry's friendship with Ron is saved once Ron realises just how perilous the Tournament will be for Harry.

In the last part of the Tournament - in which the four competitors will have to run through a maze populated by many dangerous creatures - Harry and Cedric arrive at the trophy (placed in the centre of the maze), and decided, because of the help they provided to each other, that it wouldn't be right if either one won by himself. Instead, they decide to grab the trophy at the same time.

The trophy turns out to be a Portkey, a magical object which transports them to a graveyard - where they find \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pettigrew}{Peter Pettigrew} (also known as Wormtail) and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voldemort}{Voldemort}. Peter kills Cedric using the unstoppable Avada Kedavra curse, then uses Harry's blood as part of a macabre ritual which results in Voldemort being reborn, more powerful than before, and immune to the charm which had prevented him from harming Harry twice before. Voldemort then summons the Death Eaters, and attempts to kill Harry, to prove that ``the boy who lived'' will not prove to be his undoing again.

 \end{figure}
Since Harry's and Voldemort's wands are formed from the same core - a feather from Fawkes - a freak phenomenon known as Priori Incantetum occurs, in which Voldemort's wand begins to produce ghostly echoes of its past victims - including Harry's parents. The ghosts hold off Voldemort while Harry manages to escape to the trophy.

On reaching Hogwarts again, Harry lands in the centre of the confusion caused by his disappearance. In the confusion, he is lead up to his castle by his \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Against_the_Dark_Arts}{Defense Against the Dark Arts} teacher, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastor_Moody}{Professor Moody}. Moody reveals that it was he who put Harry's name into the Goblet, who ensured that Harry made it through the three rounds of the tournment. At this point, Dumbledore barges into the room, and stops Moody, who is about to attack Harry. After his interrogation of ``Prof. Moody'', it is revealed that ``Moody'' was \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barty_Crouch_Jr.}{Barty Crouch's son} in disguise. The real professor Moody had been kept imprisoned in a magical trunk. Having learned that Voldemort had risen again, Dumbledore began proceedings to restart the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Phoenix}{Order of the Phoenix}. The Minister of Magic, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Fudge}{Cornelius Fudge}, refused to believe that Voldemort had risen again, which results in Dumbledore being removed from several important posts within the wizard community, and the reputation of Harry Potter being trampled judiciously, in the next book, \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix}{Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix}}.

\beginarticle{Guards! Guards!}

\textbf{\textit{Guards! Guards!}} is the 8th \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld}{Discworld} \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/novel}{novel} by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett}{Terry Pratchett}, first published in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989}{1989}. It is the first novel about the City Watch. The first \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld_\%28computer_game\%29}{Discworld computer game} borrowed heavily from \textit{Guards! Guards!} in terms of plot.

\subsection*{Synopsis}


The story follows a plot by a secret brotherhood, the Unique and Supreme Lodge of the Elucidated Brethren, to overthrow the Patrician and install a king, who would be under their control. Using a stolen magic book, they summon a dragon to strike fear into the people of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh-Morpork}{Ankh-Morpork}, so their ``heir'' to the throne will be accepted. It is the task of the Night Watch--\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Vimes}{Captain Vimes}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergeant_Colon}{Sergeant Colon}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobby_Nobbs}{Corporal Nobbs}, and new volunteer \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrot_Ironfoundersson}{Carrot Ironfoundersson}--to stop them, with some help from the librarian of the Unseen University, an orangutan trying to get the stolen book back.

The Watch is in bad condition; they are regarded as a bunch of drunks who just walk around ringing their bells. The arrival of Carrot changes this; Carrot has memorised the laws of Ankh-Morpork, and on his first day tries to arrest the head of the Guild of Thieves for theft. Carrot's enthusiasm rings with the feeling nagging at Captain Vimes; that the Watch should prevent crime. Vimes begins investigating the dragon appearances, which leads to an acquaintance with Sybil Ramkin, a breeder of swamp dragons.

Though the leader of the Elucidated Brethren is initially successful in controlling the dragon; and banishes it when he no longer needs it; he has not counted on the dragon's own magic. The dragon returns, and makes itself king of Ankh-Morpork, keeping the head of the Elucidated Brethren, the now imprisoned Patriarch's secretary, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupine_Wonse}{Wonse}, as his mouth piece; and demands the people of Ankh-Morpork bring him gold, for his bedding, and regular virgin sacrifices. 

Vimes is imprisoned, in the same cell as the Patrician; who has been leading a relatively comfortable life, with the help of the rats he uses as spies. The orangutan helps Vimes to escape; and he runs to the aid of Sybil, who has been chosen as the first virgin to be sacrificed. One of Sybil's dragon's, Errol, fights the king; and wins. While a crowd attempts to close in on the king to kill it, Sybil tries to plead for it, while Carrot places it under arrest; but Errol lets the dragon escape, to be his mate. 

\subsection*{Adaptations}
The novel has been adapted as:
\begin{itemize}\item  A ``Big Comic'' (\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_novel}{Graphic novel})
\item  A stage play scripted by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Briggs}{Stephen Briggs} (script later published in book form)

\beginarticle{Feet of Clay}

\textbf{\textit{Feet of Clay}} is a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld}{Discworld} novel by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett}{Terry Pratchett} which parodies detective novels. It was published in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996}{1996}. The story follows the members of The Watch, as they attempt to solve murders committed by a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/golem}{golem}.

\subsection*{Synopsis}



The story begins with the sale of a golem, under suspicious circumstances; and continues with the death of a priest, Father Tubelcek, and the Watch's subsequent investigation, led by new recruit Cheery Littlebottom, a dwarf \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/alchemy}{alchemist} hired for a new \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/forensics}{forensics} department.  By enlarging an image of the priest's eye, Cheery discovers that the last person he saw was a golem; she also finds a piece of paper in his mouth, similar to the chem used to give life to a golem.

\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Vimes}{Commander Vimes}, after thwarting an assassination attempt on himself, must keep an appointment with the Royal College of Heralds. After a brief education in heraldry by the chief herald, the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vampire}{vampire} Dragon, he is informed that he cannot have a family crest, as one exists, but was withdrawn after Vimes' ancestor killed a king. He is also told that \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobby_Nobbs}{Corporal Nobbs} is an Earl.

Later, the proprietor of the Dwarf Bread Museum is found dead, and the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrician_of_Ankh-Morpork}{Patrician} is found poisoned. Dorfl, a golem, tries to turn himself in for the murder, but \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrot_Ironfoundersson}{Carrot} believes Dorfl was trying to bring the priest back to life the only way he knew how. 

Later, despite a constant watch, the Patrician is poisoned again, while across the city golems are committing suicide, leaving messages which include the phrase ``clay of my clay''. Commander Vimes tracks down Mildred Easy, the only member of the Patrician's staff who can't be located, and finds her at her at a funeral for her grandmother and baby brother, both poisoned in the same way as the Patrician. 

Carrot suspects that the golems have created a new golem to be their king, with the help of the priest to provide it's chem, and using the oven in the Dwarf Bread museum, but were ashamed when it started to kill people. Carrot and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angua}{Angua} follow Dorfl, to find him mobbed by a crowd, which Carrot disperses, before arranging to buy Dorfl from his owner. Carrot then places the deed of ownership inside Dorfl's head, alongside his chem, which causes the golem some difficulty. As this happens, Fred Colon, who had been questioning golem owners, wakes to find himself tied up and escapes with the help of Wee Mad Arthur, a gnome rat hunter the Watch encountered while investigating a case of poisoned rats in a dwarf caf{\'e}\allowhyphens{}. Meanwhile, Commander Vimes, stressed over his inability to find how the Patrician is being poisoned, discovers a bottle of whiskey in his desk drawer.

Fred and Wee Mad Arthur are chased by the king golem, and manage to escape. The king falls a great height and is smashed on the ground, but Fred is amazed when the golem starts to piece itself back together. Vimes is visited by the heads of the Guilds, who have been told to search his desk. They are overpowered by the smell of whiskey, and see Vimes slumped over his desk. They find a packet of powder in the desk, but Vimes eats the contents. He knew the whiskey was planted in his desk so that he would be tempted, and swapped the arsenic planted there for a packet of sugar. He then realises how the Patrician is being poisoned; he goes to the palace to question Miss Easy, and finds that the candles used in the Patricians chambers are not used anywhere else; and that Miss Easy had taken the stumps to her grandmother.

Carrot, Angua and Cheery go to the candle factory, after making thir way through streets full of animals - Dorfl has determined that no one should have a master, and find the king golem. Dorfl faces the king, and eventually beats him, but is almost destroyed in the process. Vimes orders that he be taken away to be repaired, and given a tongue. Vimes then goes to face Dragon, who had been behind the plot. Dragon had long been preoccupied with preserving the royal lineage in Ankh-Morpork, and upon discovering evidence that Carrot is the heir, and horrified by his relationship with Angua, a werewolf, Dragon tried to get the Patrician out of the way, and install a fake, easily controlled, royal - Nobby - as ruler of the city. The solution had only occurred to Vimes after he found the whiskey and arsenic - only a vampire could have flown through his window, and remembered his visit to the College of Heraldry, where Dragon had pointed out the Candlemaker's crest in particular, and shown his the \textit{poisson}, both a heraldic symbol for a lamp, and a blatantly placed clue.

The book ends with Dorfl joining the Watch.

\beginarticle{The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents}

\textbf{The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents} is the 28th \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/novel}{novel} in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett}{Terry Pratchett}'s \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld}{Discworld} series, published in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001}{2001}. It was the first Discworld book to be aimed at the younger market, followed in that by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wee_Free_Men}{The Wee Free Men} in 2003.



The Amazing Maurice is a talking cat, who leads his Educated Rodents, a group of talking rats, as they go from town to town being a plague so that their accomplice, a boy piper, can ``lure them all away'' from the town, after which they share the money the piper makes. The rats had gained intelligence from eating the waste from the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unseen_University}{Unseen University}; Maurice gained it after eating one of them.

The group is not completely happy; the leader of the rats, Hamnpork, despises Maurice, while Dangerous Beans, a blind rat who guides them like a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/guru}{guru}, wants to start a rat civilisation and both he and Peaches, the group's scribe, find their trickery unethical. The rats are seeking an ideal of humans and rats living together, following the example of their sacred book ``Mr Bunnsy Has an Adventure''. They agree to do one last job, in the town Bad Blintz. 

The rats set about planning their offensive, lead by Darktan, their general, while Maurice and Keith, the piper, look around. They are surprised to find that while the buildings are expensively built, the people have little food, and rats are hunted for more visciously than anywhere else. Maurice and Keith meet Malicia, the mayor's daughter, who is a story teller (her grandmother and great aunt were the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothers_Grimm}{Sisters Grim}). She soon discovers that Maurice can talk, and meets Sardines, a tap-dancing rat who is the most daring of the group. While talking to her, Maurice reveals that the rat-catchers have been passing off boot-laces as rait tails (for which they are paid 50c each).

As they set off to look in the rat-catchers' house, the rats discover many rat tunnels, which are empty, save for traps and poison. The two groups meet in the rat catchers' den, where they have been storing the food the rats are thought to have eaten, and find cages where the rats are being bred, for coarsing.

The rat-catchers return, and lock Keith and Malicia away, and take Hamnpork to be coarsed.. Maurice hides, and feels a voice trying to enter his mind. The rats feel it, and it returns many of them to being simple rats, to the dismay of Dangerous Beans. Darktan leads a group to rescue Hamnpork, while Peaches and Dangerous Beans free Keith and Malicia. Malicia lets slip that ``Mr Bunnsy Has an Adventure'' is a children's book, and Dangerous Peaches leaves in despair. 

Darktan's group is successful in rescuing an injured Hamnpork, though Darktan himself, the head of the Trap Disposal Unit, finds himself in a trap. After a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_Death_Experience}{Near Death Experience}, and the death of Hamnpork, he assumes leadership, and sets out after Dangerous Beans. Maurice, in the meanwhile, has given in to his conscience and is also seeking them, but the voice gains power over him. Malicia and Keith, after gaining freedom, trick the rat catchers into revealing their secret by tricking them into thinking they have been poisoned. The rat catchers have created a powerful \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/rat_king}{rat king}--several rats, tied together at the tail, who make a single mind with power over others--who is named Spider, being made of eight rats.

Spider is interested in Dangerous Beans; other rats he can control, but Dangerous Beans has a mind similar to his: one that thinks for others. Dangerous Beans refuses Spider's offer of jointly ruling, as Spider wants to wage war on humans. As this happens, Malicia and Keith, under Spider's control, are about to set free the trapped rats. Spider tries to destroy Dangerous Beans' mind; this is felt by his army of rats, and Maurice. Dangerous Beans' is able to resist, but Maurice reverts to being a cat, and the cat instinct tells him to pounce on Spider, though enough of his mind remains to tell him to sever the knot in Spider's tails.

Darktan's army, who have been fighting Spider's rats, find Peaches in Spider's lair, which is burning after Peaches dropped a match. Maurice emerges carrying Dangerous Beans. When he is safely out, he falls over and dies. In ghostly form, he sees the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Rats}{``Bone Rat''} coming for Dangerous Beans. He attacks him, but is picked up by Death, with whom he strikes a deal: one of his remaining lives for Dangerous Beans'.

Though Spider is defeated, there is still a problem remaining: the rat piper is due to arrive the next day. The rats set about rounding up the other, non-intelligent, rats ('keekees'). When the piper arrives, Keith challenges him. His pipe had been broken by the rat-catchers, so he uses a borrowed trombone, to the sounds of which Sardines comes out dancing. When the piper starts to play his magical pipe, the rats plug their ears to not be charmed. One rat does come out: a Mr. Clicky, a clockwork rat the rats use to test traps.

The piper calls Keith aside, and tells him the tricks of the trade: the pipe is just a dog whistle, the stories are made up so people will be scared into paying. Keith and the piper then lead the keekees out of town - Keith wants to maintain the story of the piper, and the rats want a convenient way to set the keekees free.

Once that has been done, the rats emerge, offering to tell the humans where to find the stolen food and money, in return for living peacefully with them. Maurice negotiates, selling the humans a promise of a brighter future, with the rats as a tourist attraction. Keith stays on as the town's piper, and the town becomes a tourist attraction, as Maurice predicted.

\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category\%3ADiscworld_books}{Category:Discworld books}

\textbf{\textit{A Hat Full of Sky}} (ISBN 0-385-60736-9) is a novel written by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett}{Terry Pratchett} set on the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld}{Discworld}, written with younger readers in mind.  It is set two years after \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wee_Free_Men}{The Wee Free Men}, and features an 11-year old Tiffany Aching. 



\subsection*{Synopsis}

\textit{A Hat Full of Sky} begins with a disembodied presence roaming the hills, looking for a strong mind. Tiffany is trying on a new pair of boots, and a new hat. She tries to look at herself in her small, cracked mirror, but is unable to see herself properly. Tiffany is a witch, though, and has a trick for these situations. She says ``see me'', and is able to see herself from the outside. Doing this, however, attracts the attention of the presence.

Tiffany is packing her things, preparing to travel with Miss Tick to the home of Miss Level, a research witch with whom Tiffany is to learn about witchcraft. On the journey, Tiffany meets Roland, who always seems to be where she is. He gives her a gift: a silver horse, like the White Horse on the chalk. As Tiffany explains to Miss Tick, in the words of Granny Aching, ``'Taint what a horse \textit{looks} like, it's what a horse \textit{be}''.

In the home of the Nac Mac Feegle, Rob Anybody is being taught to write by his new wife, Jeannie, the \textit{kelda}. They are interrupted by Big Yan, who tells them that the witches are being followed by a ``hiver'', the disembodied presence. Rob wants to send word to Tiffany of this, but is forbidden by Jeannie, who has taken a dislike to Tiffany, who was briefly kelda, and briefly engaged to Rob. Miss Tick suspects that something is wrong though, while waiting for a coach, she builds a ``shamble'', a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cat\%27s_cradle_\%28string_game\%29}{cat's cradle} with some alive inside it which is used to detect magic, and both she and Tiffany feel the presence of the hiver, which quickly leaves.

Eventually they meet Miss Level. Told to go away while Miss Tick talks to Miss Level, Tiffany finds her curiosity aroused when Miss Level says that she left her spectacles on her other nose. Tiffany and Miss Level travel by broomstick to Miss Level's cottage, and Tiffany is glad to arrive: she suffers from \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/air_sickness}{air sickness}.

Tiffany is soon worried, though. She hears sounds of another person in the cottage, and while she eats, an invisible person tries to take her plate. In the morning, she notices a circus poster, featuring ``Topsy and Tipsy: The Amazing Mind Reading Act''. She meets Miss Level, or rather, both of Miss Level, who explains that she was born with two bodies, with a single mind. Tiffany then guesses that prior to becoming a witch, Miss Level had been a circus performer. Miss Level also explains about Oswald, an ``ondageist'' - the opposite of a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/poltergeist}{poltergeist}, who compulsively cleans. 

Miss Level then introduces Tiffany to her area of research: finding the instructions for the use of plants, which the Creator of the Discworld has written on or in the plants themselves. As an example, she shows Tiffany that the message in a walnut may be read with a green magnifying glass, lit with a taper of red cotton: ``May contain nut''.

The book then features a passage from \textit{Hivers: A Dissertation Upon a Device of Amazing Cunning} by the wizard Sensibility Bustle, who tried to capture a hiver, and was consumed by it. Back in the home of the Feegles, Jeannie tells Rob that she will have seven sons and a daughter, and orders him to go find Tiffany: he was so worried about her that he wouldn't even get drunk. Rob organises the Feegle, and determines that they need a plan: he writes ``PLN'' on piece of paper, and they set off. Awf'ly Wee Billy, the clan's new gonnagle, tells them about \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/scarecrow}{scarecrow}s, and they manage to disguise themselves in a somewhat human shape, bribing coach drivers to go as quickly as possible with gold of an ancient king, whose burial ground they live in.

Tiffany is finding the work of witches dull: helping people who don't seem to show appreciation. She particularly dreads visiting Mr. Weavall, an old man whose only concern is that he is able to pay for his own funeral. Tiffany, who he calls Mary, after his long-dead daughter, has to count his money at every visit. She is becoming disheartened, since she isn't able to make a shamble. She is visited by another trainee with, Petulia, who has a tendency to get tangled up in the numerous amulets she wears. Petulia takes Tiffany to a meeting of trainee witches, which is presided over by Annagramma, who takes great pleasure in mocking the other girls. Annagramma mocks Tiffany for the virtual hat she was given by Mistress Weatherwax, but blames Mistress Weatherwax for messing with her head. She, like Mrc. Earwig, who is teaching her, believes that witchcraft should be done ``properly'', with sacred circles, written spells, and a hierarchy of witches (with her on, or near, the top). Back at Miss Level's house, Tiffany wants to see the virtual hat, which had been so clearly visible to her before. She says ``see me'', and the hiver occupies the space left where her mind had been.

Tiffany, controlled by the hiver, now finds her chores intolerable. She finds that she now has power, and uses magic for every task, including making cheese, which she had enjoyed before. While making it though, a part of her writes ``help me'' on the table. She tells Miss Level about the new memories she suddenly has, of being a great lizard, and speaks with a man's voice. The hiver is taking over, and the Nac Mac Feegle arrive too late to save her.

Miss Level finds the Nac Mac Feegle, and they tell her about the hiver, and about her ``see me'' trick. Miss Level tells them that this is Borrowing, and that you have to learn to protect yourself before even trying it. Tiffany, drunk with new-found power, goes to the house of Mrs. Earwig to find Annagramma. She scares Annagramma with her power, though every time she speaks, she adds a faint ``help me'', and together they go to buy the various trinkets Annagramma thinks are necessary for witches to possess. At the shop of the dwarf Zakzak Tiffany starts to argue over the price of the items. Zakzak calls his wizard, Brian, to deal with them, but Tiffany knows that Brian is not a real wizard, and asks if he knows what happens to the rest of the mass of a person who is turned into a frog. When he says that he doesn't know, Tiffany shows him: she turns him into a frog, which is accompanied by a large pink balloon. Zakzak agrees to Tiffany's discount to have his ``wizard'' back. 

Miss Level and the Nac Mac Feegle are discussing how to return Tiffany to herself. The Feegles tell her that they will go into Tiffany's head and fight the hiver: the Feegles are able to walk between worlds. Tiffany returns, and Miss Level is puzzled about how Tiffany was able to buy the new things she has, but soon guesses that Tiffany stole Mr. Weavall's money. Half of her confronts Tiffany, but the hiver in Tiffany kills her. The rest of Miss Level is struck senseless by the death of part of her, and the Feegles try to figure out how to get into Tiffany's head. They see the necklace, and decide to follow the horse.

Inside Tiffany's head, they find a land like Tiffany's home, and the cottage which used to belong to Granny Aching. They notice that the sun is setting, a sign that the part of Tiffany that is still herself is fading, when a sign comes to them from Tiffany. Written on the wall, they read ``Sheep's wool, Turpentine, Jolly Sailor'' - the smells that remind Tiffany of Granny Aching. Rob sends the rest of the Feegles out to steal these items, while he remains to guard Tiffany. With these scents, the hiver is drawn out, and into a fight with the Feegles, and is eventually driven away when the land starts to form hills in the shape of Tiffany.

The awakened Tiffany is still not free of the hiver; she doesn't know which mind is hers. Mistress Weatherwax, who was attracted by the use of magic, brings her back to herself. Miss Level, has recovered, but hasn't noticed that half of her is gone. She notices while the ghost of her other half is carrying tea for Mistress Weatherwax, who helps her to maintain control of the ghost of her other part. 

Tiffany and Mistress Weatherwax go about making Miss Level's usual visits, and Mistress Weatherwax uses her powers of ``headology'' to bring about the changes Miss Level had been trying to. Tiffany goes alone to Mr. Weavall's house, and is given the usual request to check the money box. She does, but finds that the copper money she had stolen has been replaced with gold by the Feegles. On seeing this, Mr. Weavall is changed utterly. He thanks Tiffany for stealing the money, for the gold he got in its stead, sets off to propose to Widow Tussy. Tiffany and Mistress Weatherwax then go to find the hiver, which keeps away from them. 

The next day, Petulia comes to see if they need help, and tells them that the Witch trials are on. Mistress Weatherwax sends Petulia to tell Miss Level that she is going to the trials, and sets off for the trials with Tiffany. Along the way, she tells Tiffany to call her Granny. At the trials, Tiffany causes a stir by calling Mistress Weatherwax ``Granny'', and another when she sees the hiver approach. While she was trying to become herself again, Granny had been talking to sensibilty Bustle through Tiffany, and Tiffany was left with a nagging feeling about three wishes, that the third wish was important. She goes around trying to find out from various witches what the third wish is, but only Granny can tell her: to undo what the first two did.

Making a shamble, using Rob, Tiffany traps the hiver, and talks to it. She has learned that the hiver isn't trying to hurt people, but that it is afraid; she offers it protection. The hiver wants to be human, because it wants boredom: knowing everything has driven it mad. Tiffany helps it, she uses the analogy of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/evolution}{evolution} to show the hiver, which refers to itself as ``us'', that humans are made up of as many different parts as it is, and names it ``Arthur''. The hiver wants to die, so it can put things right, so she helps it find the door, and helps it through. Rob comes with her: he is under a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/geas}{geas} to ensure her safety. 

Tiffany helps the hiver to understand that no one knows what death is like, and watches it walk across the black desert. When it has left, though, she can no longer find the door. Death appears, and explains that the rules say that you can come in, but not leave, and advises her not to sleep. Granny follows her through the door, and drags her and Rob out; telling her that part of being a witch is that they weren't \textit{her} rules, and that all witches help people to find their way to death, but to never speak of it.

Back at the trials, Tiffany wakes in the healing tent, surrounded by the other yound witches. All of the witches know what has happened, and some have seen the essence of a white horse, but Annagramma refuses to believe it, until Tiffany shakes black sand from her boot. Tiffany is told that Granny gave her her hat, which astounds the other witches. The trials go slowly, with everyone expecting Tiffany to challenge Granny, but they both sit, staring at each other. Eventually, Petulia gets up to do the ``pig trick'', but does it with a sausage, which impresses many people there. The reaction gives her the courage to stand up to Annagramma.

A week later, Tiffany goes to visit Granny. On the way, she meets a witch made of bees, and dances with it. She meets granny, and returns her hat. Granny explains that it is important for a witch to find her own hat, and Tiffany reflects that Granny Aching used the sky as hers. Granny gives her a lesson in witchcraft. She takes a stick and uses it as a magic wand, and makes Tiffany try the same, but it doesn't work. This, Grany says, is because the power comes from within. Granny then tells her to throw the silver horse down the well. Tiffany reflects that this is another test, and refuses. Granny congratulates her, ``If you don't know when to be a human being, you don't know when to be a witch''.

Tiffany returns to the Chalk, and assumes the role left vacant by Granny Aching. She tends to the sheep, and to the people, who are filled with pride to have their own witch. She also visits Jeannie, to see her children. In the end, Tiffany throws away the hat she had been using, and decides to use the sky as her hat.

\textbf{\textit{Twenty Years After}} (\textit{Vingt ans apr{\`e}\allowhyphens{}s}) is a novel by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Dumas\%2C_p\%C3\%A8re}{Alexandre Dumas, p{\`e}\allowhyphens{}re}.

This sequel to \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Musketeers}{The Three Musketeers}} and a book of the so-called 
\textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D\%27Artagnan_Romances}{D'Artagnan Romances}} (the third and last book being \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vicomte_de_Bragelonne}{The Vicomte de Bragelonne}}) was serialized from January to August, 1845.

\subsection*{Synopsis}



The action begins under \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_of_Austria}{Queen Anne of Austria} regency and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_Mazarin}{Cardinal Mazarin} ruling. \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D\%27Artagnan}{D'Artagnan}, who seemed to have a promising career ahead of him at the end of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Musketeers}{The Three Musketeers}, has for twenty years remained a lieutenant in the Musketeers, and seems unlikely to progress, despite his ambition and the debt the queen owes him. By chance, however, he is summoned by Mazarin, who requires an escort, as the French people detest Mazarin, and are on the brink of rebellion. D'Artagnan is sent to the Bastille to retrieve a prisoner, who turns out to be his old friend and former adversary, Rochefort.

Rochefort is brought to his audience with Mazarin, after renewing his acquaintance with D'Artagnan and making a promise to aid his advancement, where he learns that the cause for his imprisonment was his refusal to serve Mazarin at an earlier stage. He does, however, remember his promise, and though he offers his own service to Mazarin, he soon learns that he is to be returned to the Bastille, though this does not deter him from speaking highly of the achievements of D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers.

Having determined that D'Artagnan was the man he sought, Mazarin enters the chambers of the Queen to let her know that he has enlisted the man who had served her so well twenty years earlier. The Queen, feeling guilty for having forgotten D'Artagnan's service, gives Mazarin a diamond ring which she had previously given D'Artagnan to be returned to him, which D'Artagnan had sold in her service. The avaricious Mazarin, however, merely uses the diamond to show D'Artagnan that he is once again to enter the Queen's service. He commissions D'Artagnan to go in search of his friends.

D'Artagnan is at a loss; he has completely lost touch with his friends, who have resumed their real names. Athos, the Comte de la F{\`e}\allowhyphens{}re, had returned to his estate near Blois; Porthos, Monsieur du Vallon, had married the lawyers wife; and Aramis, the Abb{\'e}\allowhyphens{} d'Herblay, had returned to the church. Fortune intervenes, however, when Planchet, his old servant, enters D'Artagnan's chambers, attempting to escape arrest for aiding the escape of Rochefort. Through Planchet, he locates Bazin, Aramis' old servant, now beadle at Notre Dame. Though Bazin is unwilling to help, D'Artagnan is able to find out, through an altar boy, that Bazin makes frequent visits to Noisy. D'Artagnan and Planchet go there, where they are set upon by a group who think them Frondeurs while outside the house of Madame de Longueville. When this group is satisfied that D'Artagnan is not the man they seek, Aramis surprises Planchet by dropping onto his horse from the tree in which he had been hiding.

Though D'Artagnan finds, through the decoration of Aramis' chambre, that the former musketeer who had thought of little other than being a priest is now a priest who thinks of little other than being a soldier, Aramis is not willing to enter into Mazarin's service. When the time for departure comes, D'Artagnan waits in hiding, suspecting that Aramis is the Frondeur who had been sought earlier, and is the lover of Madame de Longueville; a suspicion which is confirmed.

The visit to Aramis was not fruitless, as it yielded the address of Porthos. When D'Artagnan arrives at Porthos' estate he finds Mousqueton, who is overjoyed to meet D'Artagnan and Planchet. He finds that Porthos, despite his wealth and life spent in pursuit of amusement, is not happy. Porthos desires a title, and with this bait D'Artagnan lures him into Mazarin's service. 

D'Artagnan then continues on his  search, seeking Athos, who he finds almost completely changed, to be an example to his ward, Raoul. Though Athos will not be enlisted into Mazarin's service, the two arrange to meet again in Paris; Athos wishes to bring Raoul there to help him to become a gentleman, and also to separate him from Louise de Valliere, who Raoul is obsessed with. In Paris, Porthos visits Madame de Chevreuse, the former mistress of Aramis, with whom, under the name Marie Michon, Aramis had much communication in The Three Musketeers. Athos reveals, discreetly, that Raoul is the son born of a chance encounter he had with her, and through her gets a letter of recommendation for Raoul to join the army.

The scene then changes, to focus on the Duc de Beaufort, Mazarin's prisoner at Vicennes, who finds a new jailer, Athos' servant, the silent Grimaud. Grimaud instantly makes himself disagreeable to the Duc, as part of an escape plot. Using messages passed to Rochefort using tennis balls, they arrange to have a meal on Whitsuntide, to which La Ram{\'e}\allowhyphens{}e, second in command of the prison, is invited. The escape is successful, but D'Artagnan and Porthos are in pursuit.

After a race against time, and having defeated several adversaries along the way, Porthos and D'Artagnan find themselves in the dark, surrounded, with swords crossed against adversaries equal to them, who are revealed to be Athos and Aramis. The four arrange to meet in Paris at the Place Royale, both parties, now finding themselves enemies, enter fearing a duel, but they reconcile and renew their vows of friendship. 

As this is going on, Raoul is travelling to join the army. Along the road he sees a gentleman of around the same age, and tries to make haste to join him. The other gentleman reaches the ferry before him, but is thrown into the river. Raoul, who is used to fording rivers, saves the gentleman, the Comte de Guiche, and the two become friends. Further along the road, the debt is repaid when the Comte saves Raoul when they are attacked by Spanish soldiers. After the fight, they find a man who is close to death, who requests the last rites. They help him to a nearby inn, and find a travelling monk. This monk is unpleasant to them, and does not seem inclined to perform this service, so they force him to go to the inn. Once there, the monk hears the confession. The dying man reveals that he was the executioner of B{\'e}\allowhyphens{}thune, and confesses his part in the execution of Milady. The monk reveals himself as her son, and stabs the executioner. 

Grimaud, who is to join Raoul, comes upon the inn just as this is taking place, though too late to prevent it, or to detain the monk. After hearing what happened from the dying man, making his excuses to Raoul, he departs to warn Athos about the son of Milady. After his departure, Raoul and Guiche are forced to retreat when the Spanish come upon the town. After joining the army of the Prince de Cond{\'e}\allowhyphens{} Raoul provides assitance in interrogating the prisoner brought by Guiche and him, when the prisoner feigns to misunderstand them in several languages. Once they have learned the location of the Spanish army, they set out for battle, Raoul accompanying the Prince.

\subsection*{Interpretation}

The album is almost a concept album in that the theme of people as puppets runs through most of the songs on the album. Many of the songs deal with a particular ``master'': anger in ``Battery'', addiction in ``Master of Puppets'', madness in ``Welcome Home (Sanitarium)'', and religion in ``Leper Messiah''. In addition, the notion of soldiers as cannon fodder is explored in ``Disposable Heroes'' and, to stretch the point somewhat, even the reference to the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos}{Cthulhu Mythos} in ``The Thing That Should Not Be'' brings to mind the followers of a cult; ``Orion'', the hunter of Greek myth, was killed by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis}{Artemis} after he became her follower. ``Damage Inc.'', the album's final track, is a call of non-conformity, to cut the strings of the puppet master.

The album's cover gives hint to some of the threads of the album. The cover shows a military cemetery with crosses as grave stones, bringing to mind both the dead soldiers of ``Disposable Heroes'' as well as the followers of the corrupt preacher of ``Leper Messiah''. The grave stones are attached by strings to a pair of controlling, puppet master-like, hands reaching down from above.

\subsection*{Historical Significance}

\textit{Master of Puppets} occupies the central position in the recorded output of Metallica's career, and is also regarded as one of the most important albums in the history of the metal genre.  

For many Metallica fans, particularly those fans who first experienced the album in late 1980s, \textit{Master of Puppets} represents a kind of golden age in the band's history, demonstrating now-classic approaches to speed/thrash metal songwriting and precision ensemble performance, as well as showcasing the classic line up of Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett, and Burton.  Indeed, a significant part of how the album is remembered stems from the fact that it was the last album Burton recorded (he was killed in a tour bus accident during the tour to support the album).  

\textit{Master of Puppets} is also noteworthy for the way it seemed to speak to real issues instead of simply wallowing in shocking occultism, fantasy, and mysticism, or escaping into hedonistic male lust.  As such, many commentators see the album as the second in a trilogy of albums (coming between \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_the_Lightning}{Ride the Lightning}} (1984) and \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...And_Justice_for_All_\%28album\%29}{...And Justice for All}} (1988)) which are credited with injecting a distinct level of ``seriousness'' into heavy metal.  

In terms of both musical technique and industry marketing, \textit{Master of Puppets} provided many metal fans with a clear alternative to the commercially visible (and increasingly pop-oriented) sounds of groups like \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_\%28band\%29}{Poison}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M\%C3\%B6tley_Cr\%C3\%BCe}{M{\"o}\allowhyphens{}tley Cr{\"u}\allowhyphens{}e}, and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_Riot}{Quiet Riot}.  Not only was the music on \textit{Master of Puppets} complex, virtuosic, and very heavy, but Metallica also emphasized a decidedly ``normal'' visual presentation of themselves, sporting a costume of ripped jeans, t-shirts, and unteased long hair that contrasted the spectacular androgyny of Poison, et al.  It was in this construction of the ``real'' that Metallica found success: real music played by real musicians who looked like real people.

\textit{Master of Puppets} features Metallica's most famous song, ``Master of Puppets''.  Clocking in at over eight minutes, the song's complex structure serves as a kind of metaphor for the topic of control that runs throughout the song (and the entire album).  The lyrics topically refer to drug addiction (evidenced by lines such as ``Chop your breakfast on a mirror'') as a source for the loss of personal independence and control, however Metallica refrain from using the song for an explicitly anti-drug ``message.''  Instead of saying ``drugs are bad, don't do them,'' the music offers up a competing and more nuanced argument: ``drugs are bad \textit{because} you will lose all self-control and independence.''  Moreover, the song implies that the level of ensemble precision required to write and perform the music in ``Master of Puppets'' cannot be accomplished if one is a slave to a drug addiction.  

In addition to physically intense metal riffs, the song features a lengthy interlude comprised of clean guitars, plaintive melodic figuration, and a clear-cut presentation of diatonic harmony.  This type of quiet repose, while ultimately traceable to songs like ``Fade to Black'' (from \textit{Ride the Lightning}), also appears in ``Orion'' and signals the representation of musical interiority avoided initially, though later adopted, by other thrash bands such as Slayer and Megadeth (and typically understood as antithetical to the musical image of the thrash metal style).  Still, in a broader sense these quieter sections operated as a type of musical complexity that was highly valued by Metallica fans.  As such, the song presents competing experiences of personal control: precise ensemble playing across a lengthy and complicated musical structure serve as powerful metaphors for staying \textit{in} control, whereas the lyrics{'}\allowhyphens{} topic of drug abuse represents but one means of complete submission and the \textit{loss} of control.

Nevertheless, the lack of an explicit anti-drug message in ``Master of Puppets'' was a somewhat controversial move in the mid 1980s.  Not only had the U.S. \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_drugs}{War on drugs} received renewed attention due to the efforts of First Lady \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Reagan}{Nancy Reagan}'s ``\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Say_No}{Just Say No}'' campaign (begun in 1984), but the \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PMRC}{PMRC}'s hearings in 1985 had helped to create a crisis atmosphere with respect to adolescents and the media.  As such, the entire \textit{Master of Puppets} album was designated as ``non-compliant'' by the PMRC, who specifically pointed to the song ``Master of Puppets'' as an example of harmful content.  

Not only do the songs on \textit{Master of Puppets} serve as the foundation for the repertoire of most Metallica tribute bands, but in February 2002 the American \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_metal_}{ progressive metal} group \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Theater_}{ Dream Theater} performed the entire album as an homage to Metallica.  As \textit{Master of Puppets} approaches its twenty-year anniversary its stature in the metal world is continually being reinforced.

Temple of the Dog was started by Chris Cornell. After the death of his former roommate, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Love_Bone}{Mother Love Bone} singer \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wood}{Andrew Wood}, Cornell wrote two songs in tribute: ``Say Hello 2 Heaven'' and ``Reach Down''. Cornell approached Wood's former bandmates, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, with the intention of releasing the songs as a single.

With the band completed with the addition of Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron and Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready, the band started rehearsing the songs. The rehearsals soon lead to several new songs, and the single soon became an album. 

Eddie Vedder, who had flown to Seattle to audition to be Pearl Jam's singer, ended up providing backing vocals. ``Hunger Strike'' became a duet between Cornell and Vedder. Cornell was having trouble with the vocals at practice, when Vedder stepped in. Cornell later said that ``he sang half of that song not even knowing that I'd wanted the part to be there and he sang it exactly the way I was thinking about doing it, just instinctively''.

Vedder's role on the album, and appearance in the video released to accompany ``Hunger Strike'' confused and angered several people. Pearl Jam fans, who were not aware of the background of the project, saw Vedder's lesser role as a slight; while fans of Soundgarden and Mother Love Bone presumed that Vedder's appearance on the album was due to record company machinations.

Aside from a show the band played in Seattle, at the Off Ramp Caf{\'e}\allowhyphens{}, on \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_13}{November 13}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990}{1990}, while rehearsing and writing the material for the album, the band had two opportunities to perform the material live. In October 1991, both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam appeared at the Foundations Forum showcase, and in 1992 the band played at the last show of that year's \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lollapalooza}{Lollapalooza} festival. 

``All Night Thing'' (as well as Soundgarden's ``Loud Love'') appears on the soundtrack of \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne\%27s_World}{Wayne's World}, though not on the soundtrack album.

Though many fans regard him as being a \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanist}{Satanist}, he regards these people as ``dumb''.

In addition to apperaring on Slayer's albums, he has also made guest appearances as lead guitarist, including:

He also spent a short while as a guitarist in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megadeth}{Megadeth}, though this was only a temporary arrangement. 

He is noted for openly speaking his mind, which has lead to arguments with various other bands, including \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica}{Metallica}, when he branded \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Hammett}{Kirk Hammett} ``the most overrated player ever to grace the pages of a guitar magazine''.

His father owned a recording studio, where he watched many \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/blues}{blues} guitarists play, and this early influence can still be heard in many of Pantera's songs.

At an early age he began entering state-wide guitar competitions, and by the age of 16 was banned from entering them, having won too often. It was through the prizes won at these competition that he was able to start Pantera, including the guitar that has since become his tradmark.

He frequently graces the pages of guitar magazines, both in adverts for equipment he endorses, and in the reader's polls, where he frequents the top 10 metal guitarist spots. He has also contributed a long running column in Guitar World magazine, which has been compiled in the book ``Riffer Madness'' (ISBN 0769291015)

His brother, Vinnie Paul, also plays drums in Pantera. The two have also played in a project with \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Allan_Coe}{David Allan Coe} called ``Rebel Meets Rebel'', and have started a new band, \textit{Gasoline}, during Pantera's hiatus, as well as the \textit{New Found Power} project.

The album's influence has been most pronounced on the American \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/death_metal}{death metal} scene which developed in the late \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s}{1980s} and early \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s}{1990s}, though it is also a seminal album of the speed metal genre.  \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_producer}{Produced} by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin}{Rick Rubin}, \textit{Reign in Blood} largely abandoned the  \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/progressive_rock}{prog}-influenced stylings of \textit{\href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Awaits}{Hell Awaits}}for quick beats and a runtime of under half an hour.

My name is Jimmy O'Regan, and I'm from \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurles}{Thurles}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Tipperary}{County Tipperary}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland}{Ireland}. I'm a 24 year old factory worker, waiting for the slump in computing to end... hopefully. I have a son named \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User\%3AJimregan/Mark}{Mark} who will be 7 in June--that's him on the right.

Though I'm also interested in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux}{Linux} and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software}{Free Software}, my main interest (for Wikipedia purposes at least) is in music, particularly in \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/grunge}{grunge}, \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/punk}{punk}, and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/heavy_metal_music}{metal}, and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/guitar}{guitar} music in general. As of June 12th, I am \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia\%3AWikipedians_by_number_of_edits}{279th most active} in the main name space and 262nd in all namespaces; as of April 10 I'm \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia\%3AList_of_Wikipedians_by_most_recent_edit}{308th} in the list of most recent edits. I'm an \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia\%3AAdministrators}{admin} - but don't ask me about a cabal, 'cause I wouldn't know about it. (Besides, there is no cabal).

As well as making edits to Wikipedia, I also try to repair the damage a monotonous job (and \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/beer}{beer}...) has done to my brain by \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Proofreaders}{proofreading} and answering \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Gazette}{linux related} questions.

Hi Jim I'm listening to Fruupp at this very second- I managed to download Prince of Heavens eyes earlier which is an album I remember from my very long ago youth- I used to own this album in 1976, and probably havn't heard it since then... nostalgia corner! BTW I've got Carcass' first album as well (but havn't hear Heartwork), I wonder if I'm the only person in the world to have both??? \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User\%3AQuercusrobur}{quercus robur} 21:14, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Will do. I've been watching this user for a while and their determination to remove the word \textit{terrorist} while using \textit{six counties} pretty much makes clear their POV agenda.

Hi Jim, if you get a chance could you take a look at \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_sex_abuse_allegations}{Roman Catholic sex abuse allegations}. I took a look at it tonight and almost threw up! As Carlsberg would say, 'probably the worst article in the world'. I started doing a rewrite and in the end could find about three lines in the whole diatribe worth salvaging. So I re-wrote the whole thing in one 7 hour stretch!!! 31 friggin' K! I'm interested to hear your opinion on it now. lol \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User\%3AJtdirl}{Fear{\'E}\allowhyphens{}IREANN} 02:12, 9 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment. After 7 hours I was bloody exhausted writing the damn thing. Eloquence still seems to want to POV the thing. We had an edit war tonight over his attempt to add in stuff. Now he has called a vote on a proposed POV naming he wants (that's after I kept reverting his attempts to unilaterally name it (shades of his unilateral date changing all over again. *sigh*). So please feel free to cast your vote. (God I am soooo fed up fighting NPOV battles lately on wiki. Some people seem to see wiki as their own private soap box to push POVs, pace the Sinn F{\'e}\allowhyphens{}in nut earlier in the week.) lol \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User\%3AJtdirl}{Fear{\'E}\allowhyphens{}IREANN} 02:24, 10 Aug 2003 (UTC)

\begin{quote}I'm having difficulty comparing versions at the moment... There we have it - as of last edit, so far as I can see, he's removing the footnote about ages of consent, and adding that the scandals lead to a crisis of faith in followers? In the former case, I'd leave your footnote - the age of consent is mentioned; but there is an article about the di
