131-458: Ash and his girlfriend Linda, sister Cheryl, and friends Scott and Shelly stay at a log cabin in the woods, where they find the "Naturom Demonto" (renamed or possibly translated to Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in the sequels), a Sumerian Book of the Dead , along with a tape recorder. The tape is a recording made by the cabin's owner Professor Knowby, who was translating a passage of the book. By playing

262-650: A flamethrower and a harpoon gun from spare parts that are merely laying about; and in Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick , the inventiveness seems to run in Ash's family, as his blacksmith ancestor in the Colonial Dearborn level is quickly able to make a flamethrower and a Gatling gun from spare parts Ash finds for him, when Ash says those things "haven't even been invented yet". In the 1992 comic adaptation of Army of Darkness written by Sam and Ivan Raimi, Ash says that he has

393-491: A simulacrum clone of Ash Williams as the main character, which was created from the original Ash's right hand by Annie Knowby. Shortly before the upcoming 2016 United States presidential election and the launch of the second season of Ash vs. Evil Dead , Starz and Bruce Campbell, as Ash Williams, recorded an "Ash4President" bid for presidency in 2016, complete with its own website for the faux campaign, promising to "Make America groovy again". Ash appears non-canonically in

The endogenous ligand of these receptors is anandamide , the effects of which THC emulates. This agonism of the cannabinoid receptors results in changes in the levels of various neurotransmitters, especially dopamine and norepinephrine , which are closely associated with

655-427: A 1,1'-di-methyl-pyran ring, a variedly derivatized aromatic ring and a variedly unsaturated cyclohexyl ring and their immediate chemical precursors, constituting a family of about 60 bi-cyclic and tri-cyclic compounds. Like most other neurological processes, the effects of cannabis on the brain follow the standard protocol of signal transduction , the electrochemical system of sending signals through neurons for

786-409: A 2001 study of neuropsychological performance in long-term cannabis users, researchers found "some cognitive deficits appear detectable at least 7 days after heavy cannabis use but appear reversible and related to recent cannabis exposure rather than irreversible and related to cumulative lifetime use". Of his studies on cannabis use, lead researcher and Harvard professor Harrison Pope said he found it

917-511: A UK drug expert, points out that the study cited by the British Lung Foundation has been accused of both "false reasoning" and "incorrect methodology". Further, he notes that other studies have failed to connect cannabis with lung cancer, and accuses the BLF of "scaremongering over cannabis". When smoked, the short-term effects of cannabis manifest within seconds and are fully apparent within

1048-711: A basic form of log construction was used all over North Europe and Asia and later imported to America. Log construction was especially suited to Scandinavia, where straight, tall tree trunks ( pine and spruce ) are readily available. With suitable tools, a log cabin can be erected from scratch in days by a family. As no chemical reaction is involved, such as hardening of mortar, a log cabin can be erected in any weather or season. Many older towns in Northern Scandinavia have been built exclusively out of log houses, which have been decorated by board paneling and wood cuttings. Today, construction of modern log cabins as leisure homes

1179-531: A biological response. It is now understood that cannabinoid receptors appear in similar forms in most vertebrates and invertebrates and have a long evolutionary history of 500 million years. The binding of cannabinoids to cannabinoid receptors decrease adenylyl cyclase activity, inhibit calcium N channels , and disinhibit K A channels . There are at least two types of cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2). Most cannabinoids are lipophilic (fat soluble) compounds that are easily stored in fat, thus yielding

1310-596: A broad range of mortar or other infill materials used between the logs in the construction of log cabins and other log-walled structures. Traditionally, dried mosses, such as Pleurozium schreberi or Hylocomium splendens , were used in the Nordic countries as an insulator between logs. In the United States, Chinks were small stones or wood or corn cobs stuffed between the logs. In the United States, settlers may have first constructed log cabins by 1640. Historians believe that

1441-658: A bus accident previous to this game. Ash watches TV in a bar in Dearborn, Michigan, where a local TV show, "Mysteries of the Occult", reads the passages from the Necronomicon setting the evil loose and possessing most of the town. The game also features time-travel, including colonial times and the civil war era. The third and final game was Evil Dead: Regeneration , released in 2005 on Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Windows. This game plays through an alternate history: instead of being sucked into

1572-549: A chainsaw, and proceeds to choke him, only for Ash to realize he is choking himself. The second appearance was as a clone in Army of Darkness , becoming "Bad Ash". Ash seemingly kills his clone and buries him, but "Bad Ash" is revived after Ash incorrectly recites the Necronomicon incantations. Bad Ash later leads the Army to Arthur 's castle to retrieve the Necronomicon , even corrupting Ash's then-love interest Sheila. He battles "Good Ash" for

1703-443: A crossover appearance if both games are owned. In 1992, Dark Horse Comics released a three-issue adaptation of Army of Darkness , adapted by John Bolton from Sam and Ivan Raimi's original script. In 2004, Dynamite Entertainment acquired the rights to produce comics based on the Army of Darkness film, featuring Ash as the main character, starting with a four-issue miniseries titled Army of Darkness: Ashes 2 Ashes released in

1834-468: A degree in engineering from Michigan State University. Ash's personality and state of mind change drastically throughout the franchise . In The Evil Dead and the beginning of Evil Dead II , he is something of a laid-back everyman, but by the middle of Evil Dead II and into Army of Darkness , he has grown into a much braver person, and becomes the voice of encouragement and confidence in Arthur's castle. It

1965-472: A different side chain, and cannabinolic acid . CBD is believed to regulate the metabolism of THC by inactivating cytochrome P450 enzymes that metabolize drugs; one such mechanism is via generation of carbon monoxide (a pharmacologically active neurotransmitter ) by upon metabolism of CBD. THC is converted rapidly to 11-hydroxy-THC , which is also pharmacologically active, so the euphoria outlasts measurable THC levels in blood. Cannabinoids usually contain

2096-573: A dimensional rift, the Dark Ones take revenge on Ruby for imprisoning them millennia ago and reclaim the Necronomicon. With the Dark Ones now in the mortal realm, evil dead are summoned worldwide and a massive creature, Kandar the Destroyer, is unleashed. In Elk Grove, while military forces evacuate citizens, Ash decides to stay behind in order to finally fulfill his destiny of defeating the evil. After saying

2227-466: A few minutes, typically lasting 1–3 hours, varying by the person and the strain of cannabis . With oral ingestion, however, the onset of effect is delayed, taking 30 minutes to 2 hours, but the duration is prolonged due to continued slow absorption. The duration of noticeable effects has been observed to diminish after prolonged, repeated use leading to the development of increased tolerance to cannabinoids. The psychoactive effects of cannabis, known as

2358-453: A heartfelt goodbye to his friends and daughter, Ash commandeers an abandoned tank and fires the Kandarian dagger into the head of Kandar, destroying the evil and saving the world. Awakening from a coma in the far distant, technologically advanced future, Ash is told that the Dark Ones are on the move. The series ends with Ash saying his iconic line "Groovy" as he embarks on another quest to save

2489-558: A heyday with his PTSD . He's a war vet. He doesn't want to talk about it, and he'll lie about that stump on his hand to impress the ladies. This is a guy who's got some issues. He's emotionally stunted. But he's the guy you want in the foxhole next to you." In an attempt to impress a date, Ash accidentally releases the Kandarian Demon by reading from the Necronomicon while intoxicated . His former coworkers Pablo Bolivar and Kelly Maxwell join forces with him after their encounters with

2620-445: A human pathogen), Penicillium chrysogenum , Penicillium italicum , and Rhizopus nigricans have been found in moldy cannabis. Aspergillus mold species can infect the lungs via smoking or handling of infected cannabis and cause opportunistic and sometimes deadly aspergillosis . Some of the microorganisms found create aflatoxins , which are toxic and carcinogenic. Mold is also found in smoke from mold-infected cannabis, and

2751-415: A log cabin tends to compress slightly as it settles, over a few months or years. Nails would soon be out of alignment and torn out. Log cabins were largely built from logs laid horizontally and interlocked on the ends with notches. Some log cabins were built without notches and simply nailed together, but this was not as structurally sound. The most important aspect of cabin building is the site upon which

2882-533: A long elimination half-life relative to other recreational drugs . The THC molecule, and related compounds, are usually detectable in drug tests from 3 days up to 10 days. Long-term users can produce positive tests for two to three months after ceasing cannabis use (see drug test ). When cannabis is smoked, blood levels of THC peak rapidly after a few minutes and then decline, although the psychotropic effects persist for longer. Edible forms of cannabis often contain several hundred milligrams of THC, much more than

3013-465: A love of forests, and they ended up living alongside and even culturally assimilating with them (they are the earlier and lesser-known Findian tribe, being overshadowed by the Ojibwe Findians of Minnesota, Michigan and Ontario, Canada). In those forests, the first log cabins of America were built, using traditional Finnish methods. Even though New Sweden existed only briefly before it was absorbed by

3144-637: A middle-aged person's risk of heart attack rises nearly fivefold in the first hour after smoking cannabis, "roughly the same risk seen within an hour of sexual activity". Cannabis arteritis is a very rare peripheral vascular disease similar to Buerger's disease . There were about 50 confirmed cases from 1960 to 2008, all in Europe. Studies on cannabis and memory are hindered by small sample sizes, confounding drug use, and other factors. The strongest evidence regarding cannabis and memory focuses on its temporary negative effects on short-term and working memory. In

3275-488: A mix of all of these effects. Scientific studies have suggested that other cannabinoids like CBD may also play a significant role in its psychoactive effects. Cannabis use can decrease blood pressure , which increases the risk of fainting . Combining alcohol with cannabis greatly increases the level of impairment and the risk of injury or death from accidents. Some of the short-term physical effects of cannabis use include increased heart rate , dry mouth , reddening of

3406-463: A normal life with his friends in Jacksonville, Florida. Ash accepts, delighting in the idea of finally living a normal quiet life. As the trio drive off, a radio broadcast reveals mysterious sinkholes are erupting across the country. Ash's partying in Jacksonville is cut short when deadites show up. Declaring that Ruby has sent them, one calls him "Ashy Slashy". It is revealed that, after escaping from

3537-653: A popular type of barn found throughout the American Southern and Southeastern regions . Crib barns were especially ubiquitous in the Appalachian and Ozark Mountain states of North Carolina , Virginia , Kentucky , Tennessee , and Arkansas . In Europe , modern log cabins are often built in gardens and used as summerhouses, home offices, or as an additional room in the garden. Summer houses and cottages are often built from logs in Northern Europe . Chinking refers to

3668-500: A review of driving simulator studies, researchers found that "even in those who learn to compensate for a drug's impairing effects, substantial impairment in performance can still be observed under conditions of general task performance (i.e. when no contingencies are present to maintain compensated performance)." A 2012 meta-analysis found that acute cannabis use increased the risk of an automobile crash. An extensive 2013 review of 66 studies of crash risk and drug use found that cannabis

3799-511: A selfish, self-serving attitude towards others at the same time. In Ash vs. Evil Dead , many of his neighbors call him an "asshole" and complain about his narcissistic cocky attitude while his boss frequently hounds him for making up excuses for getting out of work. At the same time, Ash has been portrayed as a womanizer and in the television series has been shown to flat out lie and invent sympathetic anecdotes to sleep with women at local bars. Ash vs. Evil Dead reveals that his father Brock Williams

3930-433: A small gabled-roof cabin of round logs with an opening in the roof to vent smoke, to more sophisticated squared logs with interlocking double-notch joints, the timber extending beyond the corners. Log saunas or bathhouses of this type are still found in rural Finland. By stacking tree trunks one on top of another and overlapping the logs at the corners, people made the "log cabin". They developed interlocking corners by notching

4061-794: A variety of notches. One method common in the Ohio River Valley in Southwestern Ohio and Southeastern Indiana is the block house end method, which is exemplified in the David Brown House in Rising Sun, Indiana . Some older buildings in the Midwestern United States and the Canadian Prairies are log structures covered with clapboards or other materials. 19th-century cabins used as dwellings were occasionally plastered on

4192-458: A vehicle collision as those who are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol". In Cannabis and driving: a review of the literature and commentary , the United Kingdom's Department for Transport reviewed data on cannabis and driving, finding that, although impaired, "subjects under cannabis treatment appear to perceive that they are indeed impaired. Where they can compensate, they do". In

4323-566: A very small magnitude". A study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that heavy cannabis use is associated with decrements in neurocognitive performance even after 28 days of abstinence. Several studies have shown increased risk associated with cannabis use by drivers, but others have found no increased risk. Cannabis usage has been shown in some studies to have an adverse effect on driving ability. The British Medical Journal indicated that "drivers who consume cannabis within three hours of driving are nearly twice as likely to cause

4454-406: Is tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), but it is only found in small amounts and is a cannabinoid antagonist . There are similar compounds in cannabis that do not exhibit psychoactive response but are obligatory for functionality: cannabidiol (CBD), an isomer of THC; cannabivarin (CBV), an analog of cannabinol (CBN) with a different side chain , cannabidivarin (CBDV), an analog of CBD with

4585-491: Is "associated with diseases of the liver (particularly with co-existing hepatitis C), lungs, heart, eyesight, and vasculature" according to a 2013 literature review by Gordon and colleagues. The association with these diseases has only been reported in cases where people have smoked cannabis. The authors cautioned that "evidence is needed, and further research should be considered, to prove causal associations of cannabis with many physical health conditions". Cannabis use disorder

4716-458: Is a fully developed industry in Finland and Sweden. Modern log cabins often feature fiberglass insulation and are sold as prefabricated kits machined in a factory, rather than hand-built in the field like ancient log cabins. Log cabins are mostly constructed without the use of nails and thus derive their stability from simple stacking, with only a few dowel joints for reinforcement. This is because

4847-407: Is a reference to his originally intended fate at the end of The Evil Dead , stating "that's all that was going to be left of him in the end." Campbell, however, suggested the name was short for "Ashley"; the character is also referred to as "Ashley" by his sister Cheryl in the original Evil Dead . When creating Army of Darkness , Raimi toyed with giving him the full name "Ashley J. Williams", which

4978-440: Is a special conversation in the game where if the player chooses to play in an Evil Dead -inspired room, GLaDOS (the game's dealer ) will reveal that Ash is actually Brock's ancestor through time travel as Ash had slept with a woman whose family line Brock is a member of some time during his adventure in Army of Darkness . In another conversation between him and Brock, it is revealed that the store Ash previously worked for, S-Mart,

5109-1059: Is associated with slightly but not statistically significantly increased odds of injury or fatal accident. In the largest and most precisely controlled study of its kind, carried out by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , it was found that other "studies that measure the presence of THC in the drivers' blood or oral fluid, rather than relying on self-report tend to have much lower (or no) elevated crash risk estimates. Likewise better controlled studies have found lower (or no) elevated crash risk estimates". The study found that "after adjusting for age, gender, race and alcohol use, drivers who tested positive for marijuana were no more likely to crash than those who had not used any drugs or alcohol prior to driving". A 2018 study found that fatal crashes involving cannabis increased in Colorado, Washington, and Massachusetts after recreational cannabis legalization or decriminalization. A confounding factor in cannabis research

5240-485: Is at this point that Ash becomes known for his one-liners, and his personality takes on a more cynical, embittered tone. Raimi has said that he feels Ash's personality transformation in Darkness was very out of character. In The Evil Dead , Ash is portrayed as being incapable of dealing with the events around him. Over the course of the film, Ash gradually overcomes his fears and manages to fight off his possessed friends. He

5371-616: Is cannabis's most commonly reported adverse side effect. Up to 30 percent of recreational users experience intense anxiety and/or panic attacks after smoking cannabis. Some report anxiety only after not smoking cannabis for a prolonged period of time. Inexperience and use in an unfamiliar environment are major contributing factors to this anxiety. Cannabidiol (CBD), another cannabinoid found in cannabis, has been shown to mitigate THC's adverse effects, including anxiety. Cannabis produces many other subjective effects, including increased enjoyment of food taste and aroma, and marked distortions in

5502-555: Is chemically similar to that found in tobacco smoke or cigars. Over fifty known carcinogens have been identified in cannabis smoke. These include nitrosamines, reactive aldehydes, and polycylic hydrocarbons, including benz[a]pyrene. Cannabis smoke was listed as a cancer agent in California in 2009. A study by the British Lung Foundation published in 2012 identifies cannabis smoke as a carcinogen and also finds awareness of

5633-482: Is confirmed to exist in the Venture Bros. universe. Ash Williams also makes an unofficial appearance as a player character in the run-and-gun platform game Broforce . In keeping with the game's naming convention, he is referred to as "Ash Brolliams ". His weapon is a shotgun whose bullets shoot in three directions, and his melee and special is where he slices and dices enemies with his chainsaw hand. A leak in

5764-580: Is defined in the fifth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-5 ) as a condition requiring treatment. Several drugs have been investigated in an attempt to ameliorate the symptoms of stopping cannabis use. Such drugs include bupropion , divalproex , nefazodone , lofexidine , and dronabinol . Of these, dronabinol (a trade name for THC) has proven the most effective. The drugs buspirone and rimonabant have shown some success in helping maintain cannabis abstinence. There

5895-620: Is evidence that long-term use of cannabis increases the risk of psychosis, regardless of confounding factors, and particularly for people who have genetic risk factors. A 2019 meta-analysis found that 34% of people with cannabis-induced psychosis transitioned to schizophrenia. This was found to be comparatively higher than hallucinogens (26%) and amphetamines (22%). Long-term cannabis users are at risk for developing cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), characterized by recurrent bouts of intense vomiting and abdominal cramping during or within 48 hours of heavy cannabis use. The mechanism behind CHS

6026-868: Is generally recognized. In day-to-day practice, a history of marijuana use is often not sought by many practitioners, and even when sought, the patient's response is not always truthful". A 2013 analysis of 3,886 myocardial infarction survivors over an 18-year period showed "no statistically significant association between marijuana use and mortality". A 2008 study by the National Institutes of Health Biomedical Research Centre in Baltimore found that heavy, chronic smoking of marijuana (138 joints per week) changed blood proteins associated with heart disease and stroke. A 2000 study by researchers at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center , Massachusetts General Hospital , and Harvard School of Public Health found that

6157-441: Is hailed as the hero "who has come from the sky"; Ash can only scream in anguish at his situation. After being accidentally transported to medieval Europe, Ash must retrieve the Necronomicon so he can return home. Using his knowledge of modern technology, Ash constructs a mechanical prosthetic hand out of a gauntlet from a suit of armor. Bungling the magic words that will allow him to safely retrieve it, Ash unleashes an army of

6288-501: Is incompetent at everything except fighting the Evil Dead. Campbell also added that Ash is "a bad slow thinker and a good fast thinker". He knows some degree of hand-to-hand combat techniques, and shows prowess with a variety of weapons in various situations. His main strength seems to be his ingenuity: although he is repeatedly noted in the audio commentaries for The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II for his stupidity and ignorance, he has from

6419-564: Is limited by federal restrictions. Cannabis use disorder is defined as a medical diagnosis in the fifth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-5 ). The most prevalent psychoactive substances in cannabis are cannabinoids , particularly THC . Some varieties, having undergone careful selection and growing techniques, can yield as much as 34% THC. Another psychoactive cannabinoid present in Cannabis sativa

6550-568: Is more subtle and comes across as a psychopath, being friendly and flirty towards Amanda at first but becomes unstable and aggressive when she rejects him. It appears in the third season of the show; born as an infant (but demonstrating superhuman abilities), it soon grows to again resemble the adult Ash. In contrast to the independence of other incarnations, this one is noticeably subservient to its creator, Ruby. Ash ranked eleventh on UGO.com 's Top 100 Heroes of All Time list, describing him as "an egomaniacal, complaining, misogynistic goon", but also

6681-615: Is not dangerous over the long term, but there are short-term effects. From neuropsychological tests, Pope found that chronic cannabis users showed difficulty with verbal memory in particular for "at least a week or two" after they stopped smoking. Within 28 days, memory problems vanished and the subjects "were no longer distinguishable from the comparison group". Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine failed to show substantial, systemic neurological effects from long-term cannabis use. Their findings were published in

6812-570: Is poorly understood and is contrary to the antiemetic properties of cannabis and cannabinoids. Of those who went to the emergency department (ED) with recurrent vomiting in one institution in the United States from 2005 to 2010, about 6% had the condition. The condition is usually not responsive to traditionally used antiemetics and the primary treatment is cessation from cannabis use. Smoking cannabis can potentially cause cancer, due to carcinogens present in smoke. Cannabis consumption in pregnancy might be associated with restrictions in growth of

6943-591: Is portrayed in all of his incarnations throughout the series. Ash appears as a playable character in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II , as well as the free-to-play Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 , as part of their sixth seasonal content update. His appearance is adapted from Evil Dead II . Ash appears as a playable character in RetroRealms: Ash vs Evil Dead as well as being playable in RetroRealms: Halloween in

7074-409: Is revealed that Ash was merely playing along in order to gather the group to return Baal to hell; they succeed but Pablo is killed in the process. Recalling previous adventures via time travel, Ash theorizes that it may be possible to bring Pablo back from the dead by going back in time to the cabin and preventing his younger self from ever finding the Necronomicon . Taken back into the past by Ruby,

7205-465: Is shown to take his predicament very seriously in the first film, rather than in a comedic manner, as in the subsequent films. Evil Dead II portrays Ash as a braver character. Campbell commented that in the film Ash is more than capable at fighting off monsters. The character gradually became more of an antihero within Evil Dead II and its sequel, Army of Darkness. Ash's most defining characteristic

7336-490: Is the chainsaw attached to his right arm, placed after cutting off his possessed hand in Evil Dead II . Since Army of Darkness , Ash has been portrayed consistently as in Bruce Campbell's words "a guy who doesn't know anything, a big talker". Ash rarely takes situations seriously and is very incompetent as a hero or protagonist; He's often causing the conflict that drives the story forward rather than solving it while having

7467-447: Is the prevalent usage of other recreational drugs, especially alcohol and nicotine. Such complications demonstrate the need for studies with stronger controls, and investigations into alleged symptoms of cannabis use that may also be caused by tobacco. Some critics question whether agencies doing the research make an honest effort to present an unbiased summary of the evidence without "cherry-picking" data to please funding sources such as

7598-713: Is widely accepted that the neonatal survival of many species is largely dependent upon their suckling behavior, and research has identified the endogenous cannabinoid system as the first neural system to display complete control over milk ingestion and neonatal survival. Short-term (one to two hours) effects on the cardiovascular system can include increased heart rate, dilation of blood vessels, and fluctuations in blood pressure. There are medical reports of occasional heart attacks or myocardial infarction , stroke , and other cardiovascular side effects. Cannabis's cardiovascular effects are not associated with serious health problems for most young, healthy users. Researchers reported in

7729-490: The International Journal of Cardiology , "Marijuana use by older people, particularly those with some degree of coronary artery or cerebrovascular disease , poses greater risks due to the resulting increase in catecholamines , cardiac workload , and carboxyhemoglobin levels, and concurrent episodes of profound postural hypotension . Indeed, marijuana may be a much more common cause of myocardial infarction than

Duke Nukem quotes so many lines from Ash that Bruce Campbell stated that he was angered by not being paid for them. Another notable video game character influenced by Ash is Alisa Bosconovitch . Speaking on Alisa's creation, Tekken project director and chief producer Katsuhiro Harada explained, "Alisa

A popular children's toy in the United States is Lincoln Logs , which are various notched dowel rods that can be fitted together to build scale miniature-sized structures. Effects of cannabis The short-term effects of cannabis are caused by many chemical compounds in the cannabis plant , including 113 different cannabinoids , such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and 120 terpenes , which allow its drug to have various psychological and physiological effects on

8122-692: The Australian National Council on Drugs concluded cannabis and other cannabinoids are contraindicated in pregnancy as it may interact with the endocannabinoid system . Children can become exposed to cannabis, typically through accidental exposure which can lead to very high doses, especially in the case of edibles. Unlike in adults, these levels of exposure can lead to major complications in children. These complications include encephalopathy, hypotension, respiratory depression severe enough to require ventilation, somnolence, coma, and in extreme cases, reports of death. Pediatric exposure to edibles

Finally, Ash cuts off Bad Ash's right hand and catapults him into the sky on a lit sack of gunpowder, which then explodes. A new version of Bad Ash appears in the TV series Ash vs Evil Dead , spawned from Ash's dismembered hand from Evil Dead II . While essentially the same character, it has more in common with Ash in terms of personality, and even sharing old injuries and ailments which Ash uses to his advantage during their fight. Rather than being overtly evil and openly hostile, it

Nothnagle Log House ( c.  1640 ) in New Jersey. Settlers often built log cabins as temporary homes to live in while constructing larger, permanent houses; then they either demolished the log structures or used them as outbuildings, such as barns or chicken coops . Log cabins were sometimes hewn on

At the cabin, the group is confronted by Ruby, an ancient being and the original author of Necronomicon. Ruby offers Ash a compromise: if he allows her to release her demonic children as well as lord over them, then she will not only spare Pablo and Kelly but also fulfill his dream of living

9039-877: The July 2003 issue of the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society . The research team, headed by Igor Grant, found that cannabis use affects perception but does not cause permanent brain damage . Researchers looked at data from 15 previously published controlled studies involving 704 long-term cannabis users and 484 nonusers. The results showed long-term cannabis use was only marginally harmful on memory and learning. Other functions such as reaction time, attention, language, reasoning ability, and perceptual and motor skills were unaffected. The observed effects on memory and learning, they said, showed long-term cannabis use caused "selective memory defects", but "of

9170-429: The Kandarian Demon to manifest physically, and then opening a space-time vortex to banish the now-corporeal demonic spirit. However, Annie is stabbed by Ash's possessed disembodied hand; succumbing to her wound, she is unable to close the vortex after the entity is sucked away. Ash is sucked into the vortex after the entity and sent back in time to 1300 AD Europe. After saving a group of knights from an attacking deadite, he

9301-504: The Necronomicon is once again found and read, the Evil Dead makes a return to Elk Grove. Ash reunites with former lover Candace Barr, and learns he has a daughter, Brandy. Ash, Pablo, and Kelly unite against the younger Ruby who plans to kill Ash and turn his long-lost daughter against him. Also introduced are the Knights of Sumeria, an ancient order dedicated to defeating the evil that worship Ash and his destiny to save mankind. Entering through

9432-527: The acute effects of cannabis ingestion, such as euphoria and anxiety . Some effects may include a general altered state of consciousness , euphoria , relaxation or stress reduction, increased appreciation of the arts, including humor and music, joviality, metacognition and introspection , enhanced recollection ( episodic memory ), and increased sensuality, sensory awareness, libido , and creativity. Abstract or philosophical thinking, disruption of linear memory and paranoia or anxiety are also typical. Anxiety

9563-411: The administration of pure THC in clinical settings has been demonstrated to elicit transient psychotic symptoms. Any episode of acute psychosis that accompanies cannabis use usually abates after six hours, but in rare instances, users may find the symptoms continuing for many days. While psychoactive drugs are typically categorized as stimulants , depressants , or hallucinogens , cannabis exhibits

9694-492: The adverse effects of THC that some users experience, little is known about CBD's effects on humans. Cannabinoid receptor antagonists have previously been tested as antidotes for cannabis intoxication with success, reducing or eliminating the physiological and psychological effects of intoxication. Some of these products are currently in development as cannabis antidotes. In the United States , medical cannabis research

9825-479: The age thing now. He was the wrong guy thirty-five years ago, and now he's really the wrong guy for the job and that made it an interesting character to play". In the films, Ash has fought with several demonic depictions of himself, referred to in Army of Darkness as " Bad Ash ", and also as " Evil Ash " by fans. The first illusion was in Evil Dead II , where Ash experiences a hallucination wherein his reflection torments him over dismembering his girlfriend Linda with

9956-443: The best "demon and zombie killer ever to be portrayed on the silver screen". They additionally praised the character for his humility at the conclusion of Army of Darkness , in returning to his own time. Empire ranked him the 24th Greatest Movie Character on their list of 100, calling him a "truly iconic horror hero", and a "delirious, delicious, dimwitted" parody of action heroes. He was also ranked number 77 on Fandomania's list of

10087-573: The book themselves in order to summon a demon known as Baal ; Ash and his friends form an alliance with Ruby to retrieve the Necronomicon and send the demon spawn back to hell. Reclaiming the book and throwing it into a portal to hell, the group unknowingly allows Baal to enter the mortal world. After awakening in an asylum, Ash is confronted by a doctor (Baal in disguise) who tries to convince Ash that there were no demons but merely "delusions". As time goes on Ash appears to succumb to Baal's attempts, obeying commands to capture his former allies. However, it

10218-430: The cabin Ash had returned home, only for no one to believe him about the deadites. Instead believing that Ash had killed his sister and friends, they gave him the nickname "Ashy Slashy" and drove him out of town. Returning to Elk Grove to search for Ruby, Ash is reunited with his estranged father Brock who disowned him after Cheryl's death. Ruby reveals that her children have betrayed her and attempted to take possession of

10349-535: The cabin was built. Site selection was aimed at providing the cabin inhabitants with both sunlight and drainage to make them better able to cope with the rigors of frontier life. Proper site selection placed the home in a location best suited to manage the farm or ranch. When the first pioneers built cabins, they were able to "cherry pick" the best logs for cabins. These were old-growth trees with few limbs (knots) and straight with little taper. Such logs did not need to be hewn to fit well together. Careful notching minimized

10480-405: The cabin. The decision about roof type often was based on the material for roofing like bark. Milled lumber was usually the most popular choice for rafter roofs in areas where it was available. These roofs typify many log cabins built in the 20th century, having full-cut 2×4 rafters covered with pine and cedar shingles. The purlin roofs found in rural settings and locations, where milled lumber

10611-400: The characteristic triangular gable end. The steepness of the roof was determined by the reduction in size of each gable-wall log as well as the total number of gable-wall logs. Flatter roofed cabins might have had only 2 or 3 gable-wall logs while steeply pitched roofs might have had as many gable-wall logs as a full story. Issues related to eave overhang and a porch also influenced the layout of

10742-529: The combined effects of alcohol and cannabis on performing certain tasks, little has been done on the reasons this combination is so popular. Evidence from a controlled experimental study by Lukas and Orozco suggests that alcohol causes THC to be absorbed more rapidly into the user's blood plasma. Data from the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing found that three-quarters of recent cannabis users reported using alcohol when cannabis

10873-460: The crossover miniseries, Army of Darkness/ Bubba Ho-Tep , seeing Ash team up with another Bruce Campbell character, Elvis . In 2016, Space Goat Publishing released Evil Dead 2: Beyond Dead By Dawn , a three-issue series that, much like Dynamite's Army of Darkness books, took the liberty of stating that the events of the first two Evil Dead films took place in the 21st century. The series (and its several sequels and one-shot follow-ups) features

11004-399: The danger is low compared with the high awareness of the dangers of smoking tobacco particularly among younger users. Other observations include possible increased risk from each cigarette; lack of research on the effect of cannabis smoke alone; low rate of addiction compared to tobacco; and episodic nature of cannabis use compared to steady frequent smoking of tobacco. Professor David Nutt ,

11135-401: The dead led by his monstrous doppelganger "Bad Ash". After leading the medieval soldiers to victory, Ash is given a potion that will allow him to sleep until his own time. Back in the present, Ash returns to his job as a sales clerk at S-Mart; when the store is attacked by a deadite, he kills it and is again hailed as a hero. In the original ending, a distracted Ash drinks one drop too many from

11266-591: The decades, increasingly complex joints were developed to ensure more weather tight joints between the logs, but the profiles were still largely based on the round log. A medieval log cabin was considered movable property, evidenced by the relocation of Espåby in 1557, where the buildings were disassembled, transported to a new location, and reassembled. It was also common to replace individual logs damaged by dry rot as necessary. The Wood Museum in Trondheim , Norway, displays fourteen different traditional profiles, but

11397-624: The deep forests of inland Sweden and Norway, during Sweden's 600+ year colonial rule over Finland, who since 1640 were being captured and displaced to the colony. After arriving, they would escape the Fort Christina center where the Swedes lived, to go and live in the forest as they did back home. They encountered the Lenape Indian tribe, with whom they found many cultural similarities, including slash and burn agriculture, sweat lodges and saunas, and

11528-799: The end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. Log cabin building never died out or fell out of favor. It was surpassed by the needs of a growing urban United States. During the 1930s and the Great Depression , the Roosevelt administration directed the Civilian Conservation Corps to build log lodges throughout the west for use by the Forest Service and the National Park Service . Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon

11659-597: The events of the Evil Dead films didn't take place until the early 21st century, which was later designated by Marvel Comics as "Earth-818793" as part of their multiverse numbering system. In 2013, Dynamite announced a reboot of their Army of Darkness line titled " Ash And The Army of Darkness ", which featured a new version of Ash Williams, one who chose to stay in the Middle Ages following an unexpected return to that time period. This rebooted series ran for eight issues, but

11790-647: The exterior and sometimes interior of the house. These cabins are mass manufactured, traditionally in Scandinavian countries and increasingly in Eastern Europe . Squared milled logs are precut for easy assembly. Log homes are popular in rural areas, and even in some suburban locations. In many resort communities in the Western United States , homes of log and stone measuring over 3,000 sq ft (280 m ) are not uncommon. These "kit" log homes are one of

11921-594: The eyes (congestion of the conjunctival blood vessels ), a reduction in intra-ocular pressure , muscle relaxation, and a sensation of cold or hot hands and feet. Electroencephalography (EEG) shows somewhat more persistent alpha waves of slightly lower frequency than usual. Cannabinoids produce a marked depression of motor activity via activation of receptors of cannabinoid receptor type 1 . Peak levels of cannabis-associated intoxication occur about 20 minutes after smoking it and last several hours. The total short-term duration of cannabis use when smoked depends on

12052-404: The fall of 2004. This miniseries later received two sequels ( Army of Darkness: Shop 'Till You Drop Dead and Army of Darkness vs. Re-Animator , both released in 2005) which eventually turned into an ongoing series, and later more crossovers (most notably Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness and Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash from 2007). These comics featured a version of Ash from a world where

12183-447: The fetus, miscarriage, and cognitive deficits in offspring based on animal studies, although there is limited evidence for this in humans at this time. A 2012 systematic review found although it was difficult to draw firm conclusions, there was some evidence that prenatal exposure to cannabis was associated with "deficits in language, attention, areas of cognitive performance, and delinquent behavior in adolescence". A report prepared for

12314-509: The film's director Lee Cronin stated that Campbell's character in the film was one "that could very well be Ash Williams", displaced in time. Cronin later clarified it was indeed Ash, but neglected to elaborate how or why he'd ended up in 1923. In 2015, an older Ash appears as the main character in Ash vs Evil Dead , a horror comedy series for Starz . In an interview with Entertainment Weekly , Campbell stated, "Ash has survivor's guilt. You could have

12445-606: The first log cabins built in North America were in the Swedish colony of New Sweden along the Delaware River and Brandywine River valleys. Most of the settlers were actually Forest Finns , a heavily oppressed Finnish ethnic group originally from Savonia and Tavastia , who starting from the 1500s were displaced or persuaded to go inhabit and practice slash and burn agriculture (which they were famous for in eastern Finland) in

12576-452: The first log structures were probably being built in Northern Europe by the Bronze Age around 3500 BC. C. A. Weslager describes Europeans as having: The Finns were accomplished in building several forms of log housing, having different methods of corner timbering, and they utilized both round and hewn logs. Their log building had undergone an evolutionary process from the crude "pirtti"...

12707-492: The group is confronted by Baal and a younger Ruby; when Ash finally defeats Baal the cabin is set ablaze and sinks into the depths of hell. The trio return to the present and the citizens of Elk Grove throw a parade in Ash's honor. In a grateful speech, Ash declares that he wants to stay in Elk Grove and defend the town if evil ever returns. A post credits scene reveals the Necronomicon on the cabin grounds, left behind by Ash. After

12838-476: The human body. Different plants of the genus Cannabis contain different and often unpredictable concentrations of THC and other cannabinoids and hundreds of other molecules that have a pharmacological effect, so the final net effect cannot reliably be foreseen. Acute effects while under the influence can sometimes include euphoria or anxiety . Although some assert that cannabidiol (CBD), another cannabinoid found in cannabis in varying amounts, may alleviate

12969-581: The interior. The O'Farrell Cabin ( c.  1865 ) in Boise , Idaho , had backed wallpaper used over newspaper. The C.C.A. Christenson Cabin in Ephraim , Utah ( c.  1880 ) was plastered over willow lath. Log cabins reached their peak of complexity and elaboration with the Adirondack-style cabins of the mid-19th century. This style was the inspiration for many United States Park Service lodges built at

13100-481: The largest consumers of logs in the Western United States. In the United States, log homes have embodied a traditional approach to home building, one that has resonated throughout American history . Log homes represent a technology that allows a home to be built with a high degree of sustainability . They are frequently considered to be on the leading edge of the green building movement. Crib barns were

13231-449: The logs at the ends, resulting in strong structures that were easier to make weather-tight by inserting moss or other soft material into the joints. As the original coniferous forest extended over the coldest parts of the world, there was a prime need to keep these cabins warm. The insulating properties of the solid wood were a great advantage over a timber frame construction covered with animal skins, felt , boards or shingles . Over

13362-606: The lungs and nasal passages are a major means of contracting fungal infections. Levitz and Diamond (1991) suggest baking cannabis in home ovens at 150 °C [302 °F], for five minutes before smoking. Oven treatment killed conidia of A. fumigatus , A. flavus and A. niger , and did not lower THC levels. Cannabis contaminated with Salmonella muenchen was correlated with dozens of cases of salmonellosis in 1981. Thermophilic actinomycetes were also found in cannabis. Exposure to cannabis may have biologically based physical, mental, behavioral, and social health consequences and

13493-645: The metabolism of other drugs, especially due to competition for clearing metabolic pathways such as cytochromes CYP450 , thus leading to drug toxicities by medications that the person consuming cannabis may be taking. A 2007 study found that while tobacco and cannabis smoke are quite similar, cannabis smoke contained higher amounts of ammonia , hydrogen cyanide , and nitrogen oxides , but lower levels of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This study found that directly inhaled cannabis smoke contained as much as 20 times as much ammonia and 5 times as much hydrogen cyanide as tobacco smoke and compared

13624-660: The need to inhale toxic combustion products created by smoking and therefore negates the risk of respiratory harm associated with cannabis smoking. Increased appetite after cannabis use has been documented for hundreds of years and is known colloquially as the "munchies". Clinical studies and survey data have found that cannabis increases food enjoyment and interest in food. A 2015 study suggests that cannabis triggers uncharacteristic behaviour in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, which are usually associated with decreasing hunger. Endogenous cannabinoids, more commonly known as endocannabinoids , exist in cow and human milk. It

13755-426: The orientation of doors and windows all needed to be taken into account when the cabin was designed. In addition, the source of the logs, the source of stone and available labor, either human or animal, had to be considered. If timber sources were further away from the site, the cabin size might be limited. Cabin corners were often set on large stones; if the cabin was large, other stones were used at other points along

13886-400: The outside so that siding might be applied; they also might be hewn inside and covered with a variety of materials, ranging from plaster over lath to wallpaper . Log cabins were constructed with either a purlin roof structure or a rafter roof structure. A purlin roof consists of horizontal logs that are notched into the gable-wall logs. The latter are progressively shortened to form

14017-405: The perception of time . At higher doses, effects can include altered body image , auditory or visual illusions, pseudohallucinations , and ataxia from selective impairment of polysynaptic reflexes. In some cases, cannabis can lead to acute psychosis and dissociative states such as depersonalization and derealization . Furthermore, even in those with no family history of psychosis ,

14148-452: The perk selection screen revealed that Ash would be making an appearance in Dead by Daylight . He was later officially announced with a trailer on March 28, and released on April 2. Ash is playable in the indie video game Phantom Halls . Ash is a playable character in the 2022 video game Evil Dead: The Game , appearing alongside characters and locations from throughout the franchise. Williams

14279-406: The potency, method of smoking – e.g. whether pure or in conjunction with tobacco – and quantity. Peak levels of intoxication typically last an average of three to four hours. When taken orally (in the form of capsules, food, or drink), the psychoactive effects take longer to manifest and generally last longer, typically an average of four to six hours after consumption. Oral ingestion use eliminates

14410-584: The potion, awakening instead in post-apocalyptic London . The film then cuts to black as his insane laughter is heard. Ash makes an appearance in a post-credits scene , in which he says his signature catchphrase, "Groovy". In 2023, Bruce Campbell appears in Evil Dead Rise in a cameo role as a priest heard translating the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis on a vinyl record (recorded in 1923) discovered by Danny, leading to Ellie's possession. In April 2023,

14541-471: The previous film, only Ash and Linda are shown on the trip to the cabin. Picking up from the ending of the first film, Ash is carried off by the demonic force and briefly possessed, released from the spirit by the light of dawn and falling unconscious. Attempting to leave, Ash finds the only bridge out completely destroyed and is forced to spend another night in the cabin. As the evil force toys with Ash's mind, his right hand becomes possessed and he cuts it off at

14672-641: The principal psychoactive constituent of the cannabis plant, has an extremely low toxicity and the amount that can enter the body through the consumption of cannabis plants poses no threat of death. In dogs, the minimum lethal dose of THC is over 3000 mg/kg. According to The Merck Index , the LD 50 of THC (the dose which causes the death of 50% of individuals) is 1270 mg/kg for male rats and 730 mg/kg for female rats from oral consumption in sesame oil, and 42 mg/kg for rats from inhalation. Cannabinoids and other molecules present in cannabis can alter

14803-1437: The properties of both mainstream and sidestream (smoke emitted from a smouldering 'joint' or 'cone') smoke. Mainstream cannabis smoke was found to contain higher concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) than sidestream tobacco smoke. However, other studies have found much lower disparities in ammonia and hydrogen cyanide between cannabis and tobacco, and that some other constituents (such as polonium-210, lead, arsenic, nicotine, and tobacco-specific nitrosamines) are either lower or non-existent in cannabis smoke. A 2021 longitudinal study conducted among populations of HIV-positive and HIV-negative adults found that smoke-related carcinogenic toxicants and biomarkers detected in tobacco smokers were also detected in exclusive cannabis smokers, including carbon monoxide (CO), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aldehydes (such as acrolein ), acrylonitrile and acrylamide metabolites , but exposures are lower compared with tobacco or dual smokers. Increased levels of acrolein exposure by tobacco smoking but not exclusive cannabis smoking were detected both in HIV-positive and HIV-negative adults, and contribute to increased diagnoses of cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases among tobacco smokers. Cannabis smoke contains thousands of organic and inorganic chemical compounds. This tar

14934-483: The second film on been shown creating such things ranging from his chainsaw bracket and shotgun harness, gunpowder from mainly referencing its elemental makeup in a chemistry book, a fully functional prosthetic hand from a metal gauntlet, and the short-lived "Deathcoaster". His invention and ingenuity are further expanded on in the games: in Evil Dead: Regeneration , he creates fully functional weapons such as

15065-446: The sill (bottom log). Since they were usually cut into the sill, thresholds were supported with rock as well. These stones are found below the corners of many 18th-century cabins as they are restored. Cabins were set on foundations to keep them out of damp soil but also to allow for storage or basements to be constructed below the cabin. Cabins with earth floors had no need for foundations. In North America , cabins were constructed using

15196-432: The size of the gap between the logs and reduced the amount of chinking (sticks or rocks) or daubing (mud) needed to fill the gap. The length of one log was generally the length of one wall, although this was not a limitation for most good cabin builders. Decisions had to be made about the type of cabin. Styles varied greatly from one part of North America to another: the size of the cabin, the number of stories, type of roof,

15327-531: The tape, the group unknowingly awaken the Kandarian Demon (the titular "Evil Dead") which can possess the living. They are possessed and killed one by one, until only Ash remains. He finally destroys the Book of the Dead by throwing it in the fireplace, and in doing so causes the possessed bodies of Scott and Cheryl to rapidly decay and "die". The film ends with Ash being suddenly attacked by the evil force (originally intended to portray his death). In an alternate recap of

15458-446: The television series, Ash bonds with Pablo and Kelly, at one point calling Kelly the "daughter he never had." He also shows regret and remorse when he's forced to kill his elderly neighbor when she's becomes possessed and tries to kill him. By the time of Ash vs. Evil Dead , decades after the original films, Ash has aged considerably; he now wears dentures , a " man girdle ", and dyes his hair. According to Bruce Campbell, "we're milking

15589-524: The tobacco industry or governments dependent on cigarette tax revenue; others caution that the raw data, and not the final conclusions, are what should be examined. The Australian National Household Survey of 2001 found that cannabis is rarely used in Australia without other drugs. 95% of cannabis users also drank alcohol; 26% took amphetamines; 19% took ecstasy and only 2.7% reported not having used any other drug with cannabis. While there has been research on

15720-495: The vortex at the end of Evil Dead II , Ash has been placed in a mental institution for the criminally insane. His doctor has gone mad and, having obtained the Necronomicon , releases the deadites once again. Ash appears in Telltale Games ' Poker Night 2 . The player participates in a poker tournament against Williams, Sam from Sam & Max , Claptrap from Borderlands , and Brock Samson from The Venture Bros . There

15851-590: The world. In the 2000s, Bruce Campbell voiced Ash in a trilogy of video games . The first was Hail to the King , released in 2000 on PlayStation , Dreamcast , and Windows . This game continues after Army of Darkness . Ash is dating Jenny, a fellow S-Mart employee. After she convinces him to return to the cabin to face his fears, his severed hand replays the tape and sets the evil loose again. The second game, A Fistful of Boomstick , released in 2003 on Xbox and PlayStation 2 . In this game Ash mentions Jenny died in

15982-433: The wrist with his chainsaw. Later, the cabin owner's daughter, Annie Knowby, and three others arrive to discover what became of Professor Knowby. Despite banding together in an attempt to survive, the others are killed off leaving only Ash and Annie. To better fight the deadites, Ash affixes the chainsaw in place of his right hand and wields a " boomstick " to match. Annie reads passages from the Necronomicon , first to force

16113-513: Was described by Roman architect Vitruvius Pollio in his architectural treatise De Architectura . He noted that in Pontus in present-day northeastern Turkey , dwellings were constructed by laying logs horizontally overtop of each other and filling in the gaps with "chips and mud". Log cabin construction has its roots in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe . Although their precise origin is uncertain,

16244-486: Was followed-up by two miniseries, Army of Darkness: Ash Gets Hitched , and Army of Darkness Volume 4 (better known as "Ash In Space") in 2014. Dynamite returned to their original "Earth-818793" version of Ash with 2016's Army of Darkness: Furious Road miniseries, but have since gone on to publish more crossovers with other licensed titles that are independent of this continuity (such as KISS /Army of Darkness and Vampirella /Army of Darkness ). In 2019, Dynamite launched

16375-540: Was later used by video games and comics involving the character. Campbell later confirmed in Cinefantastique that the full name was official. The Ash vs. Evil Dead episode "Unfinished Business" also reveals that his middle name is Joanna (though the Army of Darkness comics had previously given his middle name as "James" after his grandfather, a fictitious member of the Untouchables ). Bruce Campbell has stated Ash

16506-455: Was not available, often were covered with long hand-split shingles. The log cabin has been a symbol of humble origins in U.S. politics since the early 19th century. At least seven U.S. presidents were born in log cabins, including Andrew Jackson , James K. Polk , Millard Fillmore , Franklin Pierce , James Buchanan , Abraham Lincoln , and James A. Garfield . Although William Henry Harrison

16637-588: Was not available, suggesting that the two have similar effects. Most microorganisms found in cannabis affect only plants, not humans, but some, especially those that proliferate when the herb is not correctly dried and stored, can be harmful to humans. Some users store cannabis in an airtight bag or jar in a refrigerator to prevent fungal and bacterial growth. The fungi Aspergillus flavus , Aspergillus fumigatus , Aspergillus niger , Aspergillus parasiticus , Aspergillus tamarii , Aspergillus sulphureus , Aspergillus repens , Mucor hiemalis (not

16768-588: Was not born in a log cabin, he and the Whigs were among the first to use them during the 1840 presidential election as a symbol to show Americans that he was a man of the people. Other candidates followed Harrison's example, making the idea of a log cabin a recurring theme in U.S. presidential campaigns. More than a century after Harrison, Adlai Stevenson II said, "I wasn't born in a log cabin. I didn't work my way through school nor did I rise from rags to riches, and there's no use trying to pretend I did." Stevenson lost

16899-402: Was often overly competitive with him as a child and it seems that many of Ash's traits have originated from his father's behavior. Despite his immature conceited attitude, Ash has been shown to have a softer, more heroic side. In Army of Darkness he chooses to stay behind and help the people of Arthur's castle fight the deadite army despite having nothing to gain from doing so. Over the course of

17030-514: Was something we created based on internal staff feedback. We really wanted a character with chainsaws on her arms [...] I'm a huge fan of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead ." Log cabin A log cabin is a small log house , especially a minimally finished or less architecturally sophisticated structure. Log cabins have an ancient history in Europe, and in America are often associated with first-generation home building by settlers. Construction with logs

17161-515: Was such a log structure, and it was dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt . In 1930, the world's largest log cabin was constructed at a private resort in Montebello , Quebec , Canada . Often described as a log château, it serves as the Château Montebello hotel. The modern version of a log cabin is the log home , which is a house built usually from milled logs. The logs are visible on
