  • LEGEND of DARKNESS by William Hjortsberg
    LEGEND OF DARKNESS by William Hjortsberg TITLES ROLL: CLOSE ON a finely-worked Medieval tapestry. In the background, beyond the intricate foliage, stands a moated castle where a troop of mounted hunters set out for the chase with dogs and lances. In the foreground, a lovely young maiden heads for the forest, carrying an armful of flowers. The forest, stylistically rendered by the weaver's art, has numbers of small animals cunningly worked into the warp and woof. A Green Man, clad only in leaves and vines, hides behind a tree, watching a stately pair of unicorns grazing on the greensward. TITLES END: DISSOLVE TO: EXT. FOREST GLADE - DAY The woven image on the tapestry gives way to a pair of white unicorns browsing in a sun-dappled glade. A male and female, these animals are of surpassing beauty, their tapered, spiraling horns glowing like precious metal. Their movements are so graceful that every other living creature seems clumsy by comparison. The SOUND of a distant hunting horn makes them pause. A second NOTE is heard. The unicorns drift, silent and languid, into the farther reaches of the forest. EXT. HILLSIDE OVERLOOKING CASTLE - DAY The hunting horn SOUNDS a third time. A young woman still close to childhood, fifteen at most, turns back to look at the castle in the distance. A troop of armed men rides out hunting, accompanied by braying hounds and the blare of horns. One of the company is masked and dressed all in black. The girl's name is LILI. She is a princess of the distant castle and dressed in splendid brocades and silk.

WorleyParsons has been also retained by Statoil to conduct an Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) study for the same offshore exploratory drill well (455/EJ6172-000-EN-REP-07). This EIA report details the environmental impact assessment and summarizes the ERA study. Figure 1 Statoil Concession and Well Location Statoil contracted Petro Environmental Service Company (PESCo) to perform a surface modelling study of hypothetical oil spills to assess the potential impact of the surface release of oil in case of a blow out event from Kiwi A-1X well.

  • Wiremailorder.Com/Site/Archives
    http://wiremailorder.com/site/archives/ Who are Wire? Loosely, a music group, but more specifically, Bruce Gilbert, Robert Gotobed, Graham Lewis and Colin Newman. Wire formed in 1976 because that's what one did after leaving Art School. At any rate, Wire produced three classic and highly influential albums in the late seventies, while returning from hibernation in the mid-eighties for another round of sonic exploration. During their career Wire had the unique idiom of not repeating themselves, which their massive success can surely be attributed to. How may have one heard of Wire without actually ever hearing Wire? Wire were always more of a bands' band; and thus were not a staggering commercial success. R.E.M covered "Strange" on their 1987 Document album. "Alone", a Lewis/Newman song from Colin's A to Zed album, was used in a scene from "A Silence Of The Lambs." That song, along with another Newman solo piece, "Not Me", were covered by 4ad stalwarts This Mortal Coil. Wire have also been recorded by Minor Threat, Big Black, Henry Rollins, Band Of Susans, fIREHOSE, Antenna, Carter USM, Lush, The New Bomb Turks, Kustomized, Flying Saucer Attack, and Therapy, to name a few. In addition, WMO compiled the 21 track Whore Various Artists Play Wire CD and the 14 track Dugga Dugga Dugga Various Artists Play Drill CD. As for Elastica's "Connection", we have to figure everything between the bands has always been more sincere than reported, as photographs of Bruce and Justine in bed have been circulated. What was their first period, 1977-1980? Wire produced three classic – in every sense of the word - albums during their first incarnation.
