The episode guide is based on the first complete TWY episode guide which was originally posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in 1993. It was compiled by Kirk Golding with contributions by Kit Kimes. It was in turn based on the first TWY episode guide ever put together by Jerry Boyajian and posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in September 1991. Both are used with permission. The music guide is the work of many people. Shane Hill and Dawayne Melancon corrected and inserted several songs. Kyle Gittins revised the list; Matt Wilson and Arno Hautala provided several corrections. It is close to complete but there are still a few blank spots. Used with permission.

  • Beyond Courage Screenplay 2016
    1 Beyond Courage An Original Screenplay by Andrew Kaplan Inspired by true events WGAw Reg. #1824105 2 FADE IN: EXT. ALASKA – OUTDOOR LANDSCAPE – DAY A pale Arctic sun hangs low over the vast Alaskan landscape, frozen in ice and snow in the dead of winter. VARIOUS SHOTS of glaciers and majestic snow-covered mountains trailing plumes of snow whipped by the wind. A dead-looking bush trembles on the cold wind-swept tundra. A feeble glint of sunlight is reflected on the ice of the frozen Bering Sea. A Polar Bear growls, lumbers past a tree, covered with ice. In the forest, a moose paws fruitlessly at the snow. A tiny human speck moves across the vast snow-covered tundra past a towering range of snow- covered mountains in the background. The overall impression should be of a frigid environment where man is dwarfed by nature at its most elemental and unforgiving. An Elk skeleton’s antlers stick out of the snow at an angle. The antlers are sprayed by snow thrown up by the snowshoes of an Eskimo, UGATCH, (the speck) running past. Ugatch runs, his breathing labored, worried-looking. He has obviously been running hard for some time. As Ugatch runs across the vast snow plain: TITLE: ALASKA 1925 Ugatch runs past first an igloo, then a shanty, watched by curious ragged ESKIMO WOMEN and CHILDREN. EXT. NOME STREETS Ugatch runs past a two-story Building with a sign: “HAMMOND GOLD MINING CO., NOME, ALASKA”, and through the snow- covered streets of Nome, Alaska, a frontier mining town of some 1,400 Whites and Eskimos, perched on the edge of the frozen Bering Sea.

    1921 Fir-flower tablets : poems [ID D29140]. (4) SONGS OF THE MARCHES BY LI T'AI-PO I II is the Fifth Month, 1 But still the Heaven-high hills Shine with snow. There are no flowers For the heart of the earth is yet too chilly. From the centre of the camp Comes the sound of a flute Playing "The Snapped Willow." 2 No colour mists the trees, Not yet have their leaves broken. At dawn, there is the shock and shouting of battle, Following the drums and the loud metal gongs. At night, the soldiers sleep, clasping the pommels of their jade-ornamented saddles. They sleep lightly, With their two-edged swords girt below their loins, So that they may be able in an instant to rush upon the Barbarians 3 And destroy them. [Page 2] II Horses! Horses! Swift as the three dogs' wind! Whips stinging the clear air like the sharp calling of birds, They ride across the camel-back bridge Over the river Wei. They bend the bows, Curving them away from the moon which shines behind them Over their own country of Han. They fasten feathers on their arrows To destroy the immense arrogance of the foe. Now the regiments are divided And scattered like the five-pointed stars, Sea mist envelops the deserted camp, The task is accomplished, And the portrait of Ho P'iao Yao 4 Hangs magnificently in the Lin Pavilion. III When Autumn burns along the hills, The Barbarian hordes mount their horses And pour down from the North. Then, in the country of Han, The Heavenly soldiers arise 5 And depart from their homes.

  • Resolution 2017-63
    MEMORANDUM TO COUNCIL TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: DAN WINTERS, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC UTILITIES THRU: NANCY PETERSON, INTERIM CITY MANAGER DATE: OCTOBER 24, 2017 RE: RESOLUTION 2017-63 – A RESOLUTION OF THE UNALASKA CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH V3 ENERGY, LLC, TO PERFORM THE WIND POWER DEVELOPMENT & INTEGRATION ASSESSMENT PHASE II PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $45,481. SUMMARY: From 2003 to 2005, a Phase 1 analysis of the feasibility for wind energy in Unalaska was conducted by Northern Power Systems. Phase II of that project was never realized due to the inability of windmills of that era to withstand Unalaska’s wind speeds. Due to recent interest by the Unalaska City Council in renewable energy, coupled with the availability of new technology, the City of Unalaska Department of Public Utilities let a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Phase II of the Wind Power Development and Integration Assessment Project. Resolution No. 2017-63 will award the Phase II work to V3 Energy, LLC for $45,481 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: In 2003, Unalaska City Council approved the Wind Integration Assessment Project through Ordinance 2003-11. In FY2018 Council funded the Wind Power Development and Integration Assessment Project through Capital Budget Ordinance 2017-07 by providing $200,000 from the General Fund. BACKGROUND: In 1999, a Wind Energy Feasibility Study of Unalaska was conducted for the State of Alaska’s Division of Energy. In 2000, the US Department of Energy conducted an Energy Assessment for Unalaska as potential sites for future wind turbine development, in which Unalaska was ruled out due to the potential of excessively high wind speeds.

  • Festival Records Re-Presents the Cream of the Bee Gees’ Australian Recordings
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 10, 2013 FESTIVAL RECORDS RE-PRESENTS THE CREAM OF THE BEE GEES’ AUSTRALIAN RECORDINGS On the eve of Barry Gibb’s first ever solo Australian tour, Festival Records and Warner Music Australia are proud to present two releases that chronicle the Bee Gees’ early recording days in Australia. Morning of My Life – The Best of / 1965-66 and The Festival Albums collection – 1965-67 will be released on February 1, 2013. Morning of My Life – The Best of / 1965-66 is the first ever Bee Gees ‘best of’ collection to focus solely on their Australian recordings. While most Australians know the Bee Gees’ first hit Spicks & Specks, few realise that the track was the culmination of years of work which produced over 60 studio recordings. Even fewer would realise the supreme quality of the best of this material - because a ‘best of’ has never before been assembled. As esteemed British American writer Alec Palao states in his liner notes “the more discerning Bee Gees fan recognizes that a lot of the music from the Australian period is good, and some of it is great, holding up well to most items from their first flush of fame.” Morning of My Life – The Best of / 1965-66 presents the 24 best recordings from this period together on one beautifully remastered CD. In addition to Spicks & Specks and it’s superb B-side I Am The World, it includes a host of wonderful other tracks; from the haunting Butterfly and Jingle Jangle to the rocking Exit Stage Right and I Want Home.
