Jan Kerouac

Janet Michelle "Jan" Kerouac (February 16, 1952 – June 5, 1996) was an American writer and the only child of beat generation author Jack Kerouac and Joan Haverty Kerouac.

Early life and career
Janet Michelle Kerouac was born a few months after her parents separated. Jack Kerouac met his daughter for the first time when she was ten years old, when he took a blood test to prove or disprove his paternity. Jan only met him once more, when she visited him at his home in Lowell, Massachusetts.

In 1964, Jan Kerouac was briefly in a girl group called The Whippets. The group, which consisted of Kerouac, Charlotte Rosenthal, and Bibbe Hansen, released one single, "I Want to Talk to You," a song response to the song "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The B-side, "Go Go Go with Ringo," also reflected the Beatlemania of the time. The single did not chart or get much airplay, and the Whippets broke up.

Jan Kerouac lived much of her early life in poverty, sometimes turning to prostitution to survive. She traveled widely, living in South America, Europe, and many different cities in the United States.

Lawsuit
Encouraged by Kerouac biographer Gerald Nicosia, she entered into a lawsuit in the 1990s that proposed the will of Jack's mother, Gabrielle Kerouac, was a forgery, in the hope winning could expand her legal rights to her father's works and physical property. Eventually a court ruled that the will was a forgery, although in practical terms this ruling changed nothing concerning control of the Kerouac estate.

Novels
Kerouac published three semi-autobiographical novels, Baby Driver: A Story About Myself in 1981, Trainsong in 1988 and posthumously published Parrot Fever in 2005.

Death
On June 5, 1996, Kerouac died in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a day after her spleen was removed. She had suffered kidney failure five years earlier and was on dialysis.

The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love

The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love is a 1995 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Maria Maggenti and starring Laurel Holloman, Nicole Ari Parker, and Maggie Moore. It tells the story of two very different high school girls who fall in love.

Plot
Randy Dean is a 17-year-old student in her final year with poor grades, only one friend—Frank, a gay Latino—secret cigarette and marijuana habits, and a cashier's job at a gas station with fellow worker Regina. Shunned by other students for her tomboyish personality and appearance, she spends most of her free time either by herself or in illicit meetings with her romantic partner Wendy, a married woman who drops by the gas station when it pleases her, even though Randy knows they are in a dead-end relationship. Her mother having abandoned her to devote her life to the anti-abortion movement, Randy lives with her lesbian aunt Rebecca and her girlfriend Vicky, as well as Rebecca's ex-girlfriend Lena, who has no place to stay and is living with them until she finds somewhere else she can go to.

One day Evie Roy stops in a pristine Range Rover, unsure if her tires need air. Randy recognizes her from school and talks to her for the first time. Evie is an only child living with her well-off, cultured mother, Evelyn, who has a difficult relationship with her remarried husband. Randy and Evie start passing notes in school and hanging out with each other, although Evie does not reveal this to her cliquish friends. During this time, Randy is approached by Wendy's jealous husband Ali at the gas station, who grabs Randy and warns her to stay away from his wife. Randy spends much of her time with Evie hanging out in meadows, trading music (opera and Mozart from Evie, punk rock from Randy) and talking. When Wendy next visits her, Randy rejects her, telling her she has a new girlfriend, Evie.

Evie breaks up with her boyfriend Hayjay after he complains of her distant attitude towards him. Later, apparently on a spur of the moment, she lends Randy a copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, which Randy starts to devour. Inviting Evie to her family’s small house for dinner one evening, Randy reveals to her that she has lived with Rebecca and Vicky since Randy's devoutly religious mother abandoned her to devote all her time to an Operation Rescue-like group. On the front steps of Rebecca's house, they kiss for the first time. Evie records it in her diary later, apparently wondering what it all means.

Randy and Evie experiment with how "out" they can be as lesbians, nervously holding hands at a local diner. Remembering Randy’s warning of how intolerant the town can be, Evie nevertheless breaks the news to her three closest friends. One girl is supportive (if confused), but the other two are hostile to the idea, with one of them saying, “God, Evie, if you were gonna turn gay you think you could at least choose someone who’s pretty.” before they all leave, including the supportive friend. Meanwhile, Randy's grades continue to plummet and the school warns her she will not graduate; Randy hides this information from Rebecca. When Evie's mother leaves on a business trip, the girls take the opportunity to cook a huge meal, indulging in wine and marijuana. That night, they make love, then fall asleep in Evie's mother's bed.

The next morning, it is Evie's 18th birthday; Evelyn returns prematurely with presents for her, but is shocked by the mess in the kitchen and the rest of the house. Furiously searching the upstairs, she discovers Evie and Randy, but only realizes Randy is a girl when she runs past her on her way out. Rebecca, who has learned that Randy will not be graduating high school, goes over to go to Frank's house with Vicky and Lena, where Randy had told them she would be staying the night. Rebecca threatens Frank until, panicked, he turns over Evie's phone number. She calls, but Evie and Randy have already absconded and she is left talking to a furious Evelyn.

Evie and Randy, crying, scared and accusatory, take refuge in a motel. Randy finally calls Wendy, who comes out, pays for the room and tries to comfort the girls. Ali sees her car in the parking lot, however, and comes bursting in, eventually attracting Evelyn, Rebecca, Vicky, Lena, Frank, and Evie's three friends, who were driving past reading aloud from Rita Mae Brown’s Rubyfruit Jungle (apparently still processing Evie’s news). The movie ends with Randy and Evie kissing and hugging in the open motel room doorway while everyone else argues in the background at top volume.

Production
In 1992, Maria Maggenti started a script with an image in her head of a tomboy with love notes in her back pocket, gradually adding more characters such as the tomboy's family and her love interest. Later, she realized this character was based on her first girlfriend. Maggenti's script, which originated as "a very dark story of teenage sexuality and [teenagers'] relationship to adults", grew until Maggenti briefly abandoned it in 1994.

However, the film's future associate producer, Melissa Painter, convinced Maggenti to shop the story around as an independent film. Two producers wanted a pivotal element of the two love interests being from very different paths, so Maggenti added a scene that established the beginning of the girls' relationship. The producers were delighted with this, so Maggenti wrote a new script which she finished in eight days. She found she had surprised herself in that her script was now a comedic farce; the story wasn't about gay love or coming out, but about first love between teenagers. Shooting was completed in 21 days during the summer of 1994. Scenes taking place at Randy and Evie's high school were filmed in divisions of Horace Mann School, in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx.

Of the film's ending being likened by audiences to a Hollywood romantic comedy, Maggenti said, "A lot of people have mentioned to me that the shot looks like a marriage portrait… That final shot is actually a very ambivalent shot, leaving them at the threshold of adulthood, a relationship, their families, everything."

Release
The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love debuted at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 1995 to good reviews. It was then given a limited theatrical release in the United States on June 16, 1995. It was also theatrically released in Australia on March 28, 1996, and in the UK on September 10, 1996.

Critical reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 78% from 18 reviews.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three stars out of four and said it is "warm-hearted, funny, and involving" and "the two leads are well-cast." Ebert lambasted the MPAA for giving the film an R rating for a love scene between two young women, arguing "a [similar love scene] between a boy and a girl wouldn't have qualified for the word 'strong'; the MPAA is shocked by the homosexuality. The R rating is ironic when you reflect how much healthier and more thoughtful this film is than so much mindless, action-oriented 'family entertainment,' and how likely it is to inspire conversation about its values."

Writing for Spin, Manohla Dargis said "Two Girls in Love, charming and lighter than air, is a film that could easily be mistaken for an after-school special, save for one crucial point: the high-school sweethearts in this valentine are all woman."

The film won a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film – Limited Release in 1996. Its success launched the film careers of lead actresses Laurel Holloman, Nicole Ari Parker and Dale Dickey.

Home media
After many years of the DVD for The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love being out-of-print, the film was digitally restored in 2022 with the assistance of the Sundance Institute and Strand Releasing. It was released on Blu-ray format on March 15, 2022. Its re-release was also screened at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival's digital platform. It has been added to The Criterion Channel's streaming lineup. On June 18, 2024, it was released on Netflix in the US for Pride Month.

Talk:Harry R. Truman

Spouses
Is that section correct? According to that, he was married when he was 4, had a second wife when he was 5, and had 3 wives when he was 13.

 * Those are the years his wives were alive (birth/death dates), not the years they were his spouses. - Ichneumon (talk) 22:16, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Removing the dates, this is just confusing. If someone know the years they were married, please add them to the box. Bjelleklang -  talk 10:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Article should be renamed to "Harry R. Truman"
Article should be renamed to "Harry R. Truman" because:
 * He is better known as "Harry R Truman". Even if Randall is his middle name, it's not how he's popularly known, like George W. Bush.
 * News reports at the time called him Harry Truman or Harry R Truman.
 * National Geograhic 1981 article commented "(he never told me what the “R.” stood for)".
 * His gravestone says Harry R Truman.
 * His war service card has Harry R Truman. (though maybe all service cards did that).
 * The only source for his middle name that I can find is this one and I'm not convinced it's a WP:RS.

Moving to Harry R. Truman
Per the comment above, I agree that this page should probably be renamed. Does anyone object to this?  ceran  thor 19:52, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Comments
, these are my comments.
 * Since life section gives detail of his birth place, I think it should also be included in the infobox.
 * Link William O. Douglas in the caption.
 * Prefer not to link in captions.

 * Maybe high school should link to High school (North America) instead?
 * "He became a bootlegger, smuggling alcohol from San Francisco to Washington"- overlinking of Washington.
 * "Here, he opened the Mount St. Helens Lodge" - maybe there works better?
 * "from staying at his lodge, dismissing him as an "old coot"" - source after a quote, even if it is repeating it.
 * Any details on when he got married?
 * There are details about his marriages (ancestry.com article), but none of them come from reliable sources per WP:RS.

 * "cantankerous"
 * "Truman also received many fan letters[14] including" - suggest putting a comma after letters.
 * Suggest linking David A. Johnston in the caption of his image.
 * Same as above.

Looks almost good to go. FrB.TG (talk) 10:42, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "Truman's cousin Richard Ice commented that he "was not only a fast talker but loud. He had an opinion on all subjects and a definite one." " - same as above; source after quote.
 * "Truman was the subject of the book Truman of St. Helens: The Man and His Mountain written by his niece Shirley Rosen[20] and the book The Legend Of Harry Truman" - not a fan of "Truman was the subject of the book x and the book y". Might work better as "..of the books"
 * Should be fixed, except for the two I responded to with comments.  ceran  thor 12:39, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Let me know what you think of these, FrB.TG, when you get a chance. I don't think the marriage details are absolutely critical, but I want the article to be as comprehensive as possible. I'm hoping to take this to FAC shortly.  ceran  thor 13:51, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Your changes look good. Regarding the captions, I don't understand why you prefer not linking in captions (you already have in the lead image's caption). It's the ALTs where one should avoid wiki-linking. FrB.TG (talk) 14:34, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll add links to the captions, then.  ceran  thor 15:40, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Birthdate
If October 30 was just the date Truman used as a matter of preference, shouldn't the lede and the infobox just say "October 1896"? A "see below" footnote could be inserted if needed.— PinkAmpers  &  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  18:01, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Are there any theories about Truman faking his death and fleeing with his cats? The article says that the remains of Truman and his cats were never found. Inkan1969 (talk) 15:18, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Inkan1969, This is only a talk page regarding improvements to the article on Harry R. Truman. It is not, however, a discussion board on this man. I would be happy to talk with you on him elsewhere. Thank you, Heliozoan (talk) 22:22, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

MLton

MLton is a whole-program optimizing compiler for the programming language Standard ML. MLton development began in 1997, and continues with a worldwide community of developers and users, who have helped to port MLton to several computing platforms. It is free and open-source software released under a Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer. MLton was a participating organization in the 2013 Google Summer of Code.

MLton aims to produce fast executables, and to encourage rapid prototyping and modular programming by eliminating inefficiencies often associated with high-level features. It also aims to facilitate large-scale programming through the MLBasis system, simplifying modularity and management of namespaces. As a whole-program compiler, it is notable for lacking an read–eval–print loop interactive top-level, common among Standard ML environments.

MLton includes several libraries in addition to the Basis standard library including ML Language Processing Tools with an implementation of ANTLR, and MLRISC with code generators for reduced instruction set computers. It also implements features that aid in porting code from SML/NJ, one of the more popular SML implementations, including support for SML/NJ's compiling manager.

Pocket-Greenhaven, Sacramento, California

Pocket-Greenhaven (also known as The Pocket) is a suburban community within the city of Sacramento, California, 5 miles south of downtown Sacramento. It is bordered by Interstate 5 on the east and a semi-circular "pocket" bend in the Sacramento River on the south, west, and north. The three exits into the Pocket-Greenhaven community off Interstate 5 are 43rd Avenue (southbound only), Florin Road, and Pocket/Meadowview Road. Entering the area from the South on Interstate 5, travelers pass a landmark water tower with the words "Welcome to SACRAMENTO AMERICA'S FARM-TO-FORK CAPITAL" painted on it, marking the southern boundary of the city of Sacramento. The water tower was originally blank and looked very much like a spaceship alongside wheat and barley fields. Pocket-Greenhaven is located in the 95831 ZIP code.

Neighborhood residents
The Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood is in the Southwest area of Sacramento which is now primarily populated by upper, upper-middle, and middle-class families. Original homeowners are generally older and live in Pocket-Greenhaven's periphery, while newer residents are typically younger and reside more centrally. Home construction in the neighborhood began in the early 1960s, and over the years, several noteworthy have resided within the community, including Hollywood Actor Eddie Murphy (whose then-wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy, is a Sacramento native), and members of the Sacramento Kings professional basketball team. Current Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (politician), a resident of Los Angeles County, maintains a home in the Greenhaven section of the district. Former State Senate President and current Sacramento mayor Darrell Steinberg resides in Greenhaven. Delaine Eastin, former Superintendent of Schools for California and Assembly member from Union City, CA lived in the Pocket section while serving as Superintendent but now resides in Davis, CA. The California Air Pollution Control Officers Association's Executive Director Tung Le lives in the Pocket.

The Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood is a low-crime neighborhood, overall. There are two private lakes and 18 public parks in the Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood.

Schools
The main high school is John F. Kennedy High School, established in 1967. The School of Engineering and Sciences, a smaller middle and high (i.e. secondary) school, opened in 2010. Primary schools include Brookfield School, the Caroline Wenzel Elementary School (K-6), Genevieve Didion Elementary School (K-8), Pony Express Elementary School (K-6), Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School (K-8), Matsuyama Elementary School (K-6), John Cabrillo Elementary School (K-6), and Sam Brannan Middle School (7–8). Bear Flag Elementary school (K-6), the original elementary school serving the area since 1964, closed in 2007.

Development and History
Before settlement, the Pocket-Greenhaven area was a riparian forest with woods of deciduous broad-leaves growing beside the river and streams in the bend. The center of the bend is a few feet lower than sea level, and drainage was all toward the swampy, tule filled middle. The bend is 6.8 square miles, has highly fertile alluvium soil, and contains a clay pit that is now known as Lake Greenhaven or Greenhaven Lake. An early development name was Lake Greenhaven Shores.

Before Europeans came, the Maidu Native American Indian tribe most likely inhabited the bend in the summer months when they could fish and hunt. Longtime residents say the bend contains a number of mounds, suggesting that the Maidu also buried their dead here. John Sutter and his crew likely passed by the Pocket-Greenhaven area on their way to establishing New Helvetia and Sutter's Fort. After the Gold Rush, immigrants and former miners began to inhabit the bend. Several Portuguese families were the first settlers to the area. They raised cattle, hogs, and chickens and grew wheat and barley in the fertile soil, and engaged in dairying.

For the most part, early white settlers did not buy land in the bend because it was considered to be swampland. The majority of the inhabitants found in the area before its development were Portuguese immigrants from a group of islands called the Azores as well as Chinese. This was a sparsely populated farming area until the mid-20th century when developers had a vision for this river community. Most were farmers who drained their farmland and produced lettuce, cabbage, grain, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, sugar beets, milo, spinach, and asparagus, and raised chickens, pigs and cows. They also had pear, walnut, and orange orchards and grew hay to be pressed for sale. These farmers were basically subsistence farmers, the crops were grown for their family's survival. Later crops were sold to stores in downtown Sacramento and to miners during the Comstock Lode.

Other economic activities by the Portuguese included a gasoline service station owned by Frank Enos; Grangers Dairy, owned by the Seamas Family; Da Rosa Grocery store, owned by the Da Rosa family; Pimentel's Ingleside Cafe owned by Tony Pimentel (this cafe is now known as "The Trap"); a slaughterhouse owned by Faustino Silva, and Frank & George Rogers Trucking Co., which delivered hay and produce to customers. The Portuguese created their own schools, known as Upper and Lower Lisbon Schools so that their children could receive an education and at the same time stay close to their cultural roots.

Levees along the Sacramento River were built and maintained by the Portuguese. One major flood, the Edwards levee break in 1904, occurred while the Portuguese farmed the area. Ferries were then available to transport people to the town of Freeport and across the river to West Sacramento. Some rides were free, while others cost a quarter.

Within the bend, the Portuguese led their way of life as though they lived in the old country. They celebrated the Holy Ghost festas annually, attended their community church, St. Mary's, every Sunday, and displayed a communal affection for a landscape that reminded them of their homeland. According to Mary Tash and her daughter Lucille Carter, in the old days people would leave their farming equipment on the comers of their parcels of land so that others could use the equipment. It was a community of trust and helping others through difficult times that is less apparent in today's society.

The Pocket-Greenhaven area had a brickyard within its boundaries. The Sacramento Brickyard Co. was established in 1854 and was considered to be the first brickyard in Northern California. In its earlier days, Chinese migrant laborers dug clay out of the clay pit and hauled it by mule to the brickyard. The brickyard was strategically placed next to the river so bricks could be transported easily to downtown Sacramento and San Francisco. Bricks from this yard were used for the foundation of the State Capitol. the Memorial Auditorium, and other well-known buildings in the region. After World War I, a sizeable Japanese population came to the bend and established a peaceful co-existence with the Portuguese community. The area continued on as a sparsely inhabited farming community until mid-century plans were beginning to be formulated for the area.

In 1958 the first developers, The Lincoln and Parker Development Co. bought the King and Zacharias ranches acquiring more than 700 acres in the area for a "planned community" known as "Greenhaven '70." Before any subdivision could be approved by the city, however, Lincoln & Parker was required to present their proposed plan for the Pocket's entire 4,674 acres. This plan was known as the Pocket Area General Development Plan and included schools, a shopping center, two churches, a hospital with medical offices, a social-cultural center with a library and a theater, gas stations, a teen center, an open space pavilion, a heliport, a nursery, a motel, a hotel, various shops, a firehouse and a restaurant.

1959 Following the annexation of the area in 1959,  the Greenhaven area was incorporated into the City of Sacramento. The city's Planning Commission passed the general development plan for the area on July 11, 1961. On Sept. 7 of that year, the city council adopted the plan. After this, the land was assessed and zoned urban even though it was still agricultural, causing higher property taxes for the farmers. Many of the farmers could not keep up with these higher taxes due to less profitability in farming and had to sell their land.

1961–62 the new "Greenhaven 70" project was acclaimed in 1962 the "Best Planned Community of the Year" by the National Association of Home Builders. An advertisement from the same year recognizes Greenhaven 70 as "the start of tomorrow" and notes that this then-future community will present "a new and better way of living for the entire family." The name "Greenhaven 70" was coined as the development would center around the long greenbelt (known as Frank Seymore Park,) between Greenhaven and Havenside Drives on the East & West and Riverside Blvd. and Gloria Drive on the North and South. The completion of this planned community was scheduled to be in 1970.

At that time the only way into the River community were Riverside Road, (now Blvd.) on the northern edge wrapping around to its southern edge. The southernmost edge would later be named Pocket Road.

A sales office was established at Greenhaven Drive and Riverside Blvd. to showcase the plans for the "Greenhaven 70" development and to sell the lots for semi-custom built homes & duplexes. Parker, Lincoln, Dronberger, Harris, and Machado were some of the first builders to this newly planned community. Greenhaven Drive was the major through-fare which then ended at Moonlit Circle.

Ground breaking by home builders in the new "Greenhaven 70" community began in 1961–62 with the first home in 1961 being built at 9 Moonlit Circle. A spec home was constructed at 805 Royal Garden Ave. because of the home's challenging floor plan, which later included a second story addition, was not immediately sold. Another at 819 Royal Garden Ave. was built for Bill Hallisey, a former conservationist for the state Department of Agriculture. 1962 saw 5–6 homes completed on the 6200–6300 block of Greenhaven Drive, and over 21 being completed on the north side of Moonlit Circle. McKay Construction Co. purchased continuous lots on Moonlit Circle and built homes on almost the entire street, some of the residents were concerned that these houses would be tract houses and would detract from the standards of the original plans for the area. The rest of the area was still rambling fields.

Some of the first original homeowners of "Greenhaven 70" were: (1)Antone "Tony" Terra, (2)Bob Bos, (3)Norman Greenslate, (4)Bob Dias, (5)Richard Corum, (6)Even Zacharias, (7)Ellsworth "Jack" Zacharias (8)Norman Magee, (9)The Files Family, (10)The Parsons Family and (11)The Schumacher Family, and on the lake for Greenhaven'70 the Gould Family, the Robert Stein Family, The Dr. Donald Carson Family, The George Heringer Family, The Chan Family, The Yuen Family.

With the signing of sales contracts for Greenhaven 70 lots, the purchasers were required to sign an agreement that listed restrictions pertaining to the building and maintenance of their homes. The establishment of the Greenhaven Homeowners Association was formed to enforce the subdivision's restrictions, underground utility and telephone lines would be installed making it so no overhead wiring to homes or television antennas would be visible. This agreement required property owners to place their television antennas either horizontally across the lower part of their rooflines or set them inside their attic, closest to the location of their main television set. To avoid unsightly appearances, garage doors were not to be left open and automobile were not to be parked on streets for extended periods of time nor were cars to be mechanically worked on anywhere on those streets. Residents with motor homes were required to park these vehicles behind the frontage, fenced area on their property. Items such as basketball standards were not permitted anywhere on the fronts of the homes or along the streets, and garbage cans were required to be kept behind fenced areas and to not be visible from the streets. Distances from the sidewalks to the fronts of homes were standardized, along with no two driveways being allowed to be located side by side. Whenever there was an infraction of any rule, the objecting homeowner would inform the association of the violation, so that the association could ensure a correction. The Greenhaven Cabana Club at 6207 Riverside Blvd. a private swim club for residents was opened. Through the signing of the sales contracts and the restrictions papers, homeowners were entitled to a membership. Dues for upkeep and other expenses of the club were paid by home owners. A second Cabana Club – Greenhaven Cabana Club South – was later opened at 6615 Gloria Drive.

1963–65 saw a large number of homes being completed on Parklin Ave, Royal Green Ave, Starlit Circle, Royal Garden Ave. Streets were added on the west side of Seymore Park and building began on Lakeshore, Shoreline and Spingbrook Circles. Bear Flag Elementary School was opened in 1964–65 at the end of the park at 6620 Gloria Drive. The plan for the area also included pedestrian bridges for the safety of school children and residents on thoroughfare streets such as Riverside Boulevard and the future Gloria Drive extension. In 1967 John F. Kennedy High School on Gloria Drive opened its doors to the neighborhood. The proposed addition of the first apartment complexes in the late 1960s on the corners of Greenhaven Drive and extending East and West on Riverside Blvd. was met with some opposition of homeowners even though they were included in original area plans, fearing they would detract from the safety and security that all had moved there to enjoy. Home building continued to extend southward on Greenhaven Drive past Gloria Drive as the street continued in the mid-1960s into the 1970s. As homes continued to be built towards the south on Greenhaven Drive and Havenhurst Ave. a sub-area was coined called "Green Acres." The north section of Greenhaven 70 was completed prior to its southern portion. During the final stages of the building of the last homes on the subdivision's north side, By that time, the proposed shopping center for the subdivision had been revised, because the city council had decided to nullify this small shopping center in favor of the much larger Florin Mall on Florin Road.

Late 1960s-1970s

The building of homes was a slower process in the Greenhaven Lake area. This portion of the area grew as streets were added and paved and model homes were opened for inspection. The Greenhaven Marina, which was proposed in the subdivision's original plan, was later rejected by the Army Corps of Engineers, because of the need to cut into the levee, which would create a greater possibility of flooding in the area. Another portion of the subdivision's original plan that was later rejected was the greenbelt around Lake Greenhaven. Kermit Lincoln filed for bankruptcy in the late 1960s, which resulted in Harold Parker and Lincoln splitting up their remaining assets, which included lots that were designated for apartments in the Riverside Boulevard section of the subdivision. The proposed greenbelt around what was to become Lake Greenhaven was affected by these turn of events and the greenbelt area was offered back to the city for a parkway. However, the city declined this offer, which resulted in this area being zoned for large lakefront lots. The old brickyard closed on January 3, 1971 due to encroaching suburban development and the selling of surrounding parcels which became Greenhaven Lake. These custom built lakefront homes would develop their own "Lake Greenhaven Homeowners Association." Because the greenbelt was not going to be enjoyed by all the residents who had planned on it for relaxation and entertainment purposes, the surveyor pegs for designated lots suddenly disappeared late one evening. Jack Parker, manager of Greenhaven 70, informed residents near the greenbelt area that this action was unacceptable and costly to L & P. Unfortunately for L & P, after a second set of surveyor pegs were placed on these lots, the dastardly event reoccurred much to the consternation of Jack, who became furious by the event and demanded retribution. Fortunately for the property's developer, after the third set of pegs was placed on this property, the pegs remained without an incident. But an ongoing disappointment remained in the minds of those original residents who purchased lots in the subdivision and were promised this special place to relax and enjoy.

The Lake Association published a newsletter affectionately titled The Seagull which Dr. Bernard Kitt largely wrote and edited with an air of fun and conviviality and great humor. The Seagull connected neighbors to Association sponsored events such as annual regattas, paddleboat races and fishing derbies, and pot lucks which brought residents together with a sort of tongue-in-cheek take on much larger tonier events in exclusive locations. By the '80s no one seemed to take the helm and community events mostly ended.

1970s

In 1969, a large billboard was erected on Riverside Blvd. advertising "Greenhaven II." with more semi and custom built homes being built to the West towards what is now the intersection at Florin Rd. Bill Parker, who was the son of Harold Parker, was responsible for the remaining portion of Greenhaven 70 in the mid-1970's. All of the proposed 1,600 homes, which were mentioned in the original Greenhaven 70 plan, were eventually completed. And because of the loss of the marina, the plan for 1,200 apartment buildings was exceeded. The final portion of Greenhaven 70 was sold and completed by Morrison Homes, which constructed houses and streets in the loop street pattern in accordance to the original plan for the area. The 1970s saw the addition more small shops, and a supermarket on Riverside Dr and Florin Rd. several apartment complexes, and the areas first condominium development called "Roundtree" on Florin Rd. and Gloria Drive. In the mid 1970s, the section of I-5 which gave Greenhaven direct freeway access was completed with entrances and exits at Seamas & 43rd Aves. After the completion of Greenhaven 70, which is today known by its shortened name of Greenhaven, Bill Parker continued to work as a land developer in other notable areas. Regardless of the changes and disappointments of some features of Greenhaven 70 that did not materialize, many residents to the original area are still proud to call Greenhaven 70 their home.

1980s-1990s "The Pocket"

The major building boom came to the neighborhood in the 1980's and early 90's with homes and subdivisions popping up yet further South and West, filling the entire "Pocket" with gated communities of custom built homes, duplexes, condominiums, apartment complexes, the addition of several parks, schools, small business and yet another private lake. It is during this time that the area became referred to as "the Pocket Area." Florin Rd. was extended into the area, during this time Greenhaven Drive was extended through the entire area coming to an end just past Pocket Rd. The Interstate 5 freeway added 2 more on-ramps and off-ramps for the area, Florin Rd. and Pocket Rd. bring the total freeway access points to a total of four. By 1986 the last Portuguese farming family sold their land to Lincoln/Parker & Powell/Teichert Development Co. The Dutra House located on Pocket Road and Greenhaven Drive was historically preserved, largely by the Parker Development Co. (formerly Lincoln & Parker), and now serves as a Title Company. The Pocket-Greenhaven area is a dense suburban community which now completely fills the semi-circular bend of the Sacramento River.

Talk:Kimberly Quinn

POV and stuff
I've tried to make it less POV ... but I think the article still doesn't scan well. Especially when the first and second sentences are read in conjunction. - User:67.72.26.151, Dec 15th 2004.

 * I did a fairly major rewrite, and I hope it's fairly NPOV. I suppose someone could argue that by including the mention of The Erotic Review (which doesn't seem to be a terribly notable publication) I might be pushing some kind of agenda.  Well, the Jewish Quarterly mentions it, and did so in 2002 when mentioning it might have made her sounds "a bit spicey", but nothing more.  I've read in several places that she was "a debutante", but not found her actual birth year or place (she's 44 now, so she was born around 1960) and I can't find her maiden name. -- John Fader 23:19, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Okay, the BBC thing says "Solomon" was her maiden name. It says she studied politics at Vassar, whereas the Sunday Mirror says "History and English".  Erring on the side of caution, I removed the words describing the subject.  Visitors with knowledge of both the BBC and the Sunday Mirror may have an opinion as to which is the more reliable source (ahem) but it would be nice to have corroboration from another source.  Unfortunately The Spectator doesn't have any kind of bio on her. - John Fader 23:53, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * My bad - it's the Jewish Quarterly that says she studied Eng and Hist at Vassar. Who to believe? - John Fader 00:15, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Kimberly Vs Kimberley
Both spellings of Mrs. Quinn's given name abound on the internet, although the former greatly predominates, particularly in the bio things referenced from the article. I've made redirects from the other spelling, as this is clearly a common misspelling. So common, infact, that it's committed by the Prime Minister's press office, Reuters, and the BBC (who get it both wrong and right on the same page). -- John Fader 01:36, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Should be moved to Kimberly Quinn
This page should be moved to Kimberly Quinn, seeing as that's the name she uses now. 06:58, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Agreed jguk 21:57, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Questions about new addition
Thanks Mowens35 for updating the article (things like this so often get forgotten once the players have left the media circus). I've got a few questions about the sentence: "Other sources have revealed that Mrs Quinn also had an affair with Scottish peer Lord Leitch and a breakfast radio broadcaster.", to wit: -- John Fader (talk | contribs) 18:01, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * who the heck is Lord Leitch?
 * unless he's admitted the affair, I think we should change "revealed" to "alleged" or "claimed"
 * the wording is a touch ambiguous - is Lord Leich a breakfast radio presenter, or do said sources claim Kimberly had an affair with Lord Liech and an affair with a radio broadcaster?

 * Ah, I've found this Scotsman article (and Lord Leitch is Sandy Leitch). I'll tweak the article slightly to reflect this. -- John Fader (talk | contribs) 18:11, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Erotic Review is one of those journals like London Review of Books that no one actually reads but is fashionable with the chattering classes so is a good career move and should stay in.

John Humphrys outed himself as not having an affair with Quinn - according to Private Eye she took him to the opera but he didn't realise she was trying to picl him up - so the un named BBC Radio presenter might need to be ammended - though the other candidate could be Jim Naughty.

What a player this woman is! btw, I read the LRB. It's a much better read than the Spectator. And it's Jim Naughtie.

Should Blunkett's negative comments on the atmosphere of the Quinn household be included.

Talk:Reflexive relation

prove this
How do you prove this?

If (X is a strict order of Y) AND (Y is a partial order of Z) => (X is a strict order of Z) You have to use asymmetry and antisymmetry from both definitions somehow to prove X STRICT Z

Please help!

Irreflexive
A relation that is not reflexive is irreflexive or aliorelative.

Is that really what irreflexive means? I thought it meant something stronger than not reflexive, namely that no element bears the relation to itself. Josh Cherry 3 July 2005 17:01 (UTC)

irreflexive
i agree,

In logic, a binary relation R over a set X is irreflexive if for all a in X, a is not related to itself. When you replace the "all" part for "some" you will get a relation that is not reflexive nor irreflexive. So, "irreflexive" is stronger than "not reflective". Example: if "a likes b" is irreflexive then someone cannot likes his/her selves; if some but not all people like themselves then "a Likes b" is neither reflexive nor irreflexive

Positioning of examples and properties
Oleg, i dunno whod get pissed because of the way headings are placed on this tiny page, but I put properties above examples cause examples is long, huge, and easily visible - while properties sorta gets lost in the haze down there. I'm pretty sure placing properties above didn't obscure the examples any. Fresheneesz 05:05, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, I will put back. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 05:30, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Incorrect?
From my notes a reflexive relation is:

(x)((y)(Rxy Ryx)  Rxx)

which includes: "...is the same ___ as..." "... is equal to ...," "...is equal to or less than ...," "... is equal to or greater than ...," "...is a proper subset of ...,"

and a totally reflexive relation is:

(x)Rxx

which includes "...is identical to ..."

Gregbard 11:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Incomprehensible line
The following line is incomprehensible to me and probably a lot of other people:

At least in this context, (binary) relation (on X) always means a subset of X×X, or in other words a function from a set X into itself.

I'm sure it's very precise, but for conveying an understanding of the reflexive relation, it fails miserably. Remember that this content is supposed to be accessible to everyone and not a dusty, old reference for those who are already familiar with the material.

indil (talk) 21:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

List of examples
Good example ? Division is not reflexive for all real (natural with 0) numbers. Why? You can't divide by zero. 86.61.232.26 (talk) 12:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Rewrite
I've gone ahead and rewritten most of the article. It's missing a few minor details from the original, but has all the important stuff, and given the previous state of the article I think it's more than a fair trade. (And they can be worked back in later anyway.) 24.76.174.152 (talk) 09:38, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

 * It looks much better. By the way, you might want to consider registering a user name. Ironically, a username unrelated to your real identity is likely to be more anonymous than your IP address. And using a username helps other people communicate with you. — Carl (CBM · talk) 11:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The lack of username isn't out of some misguided belief it's more anonymous this way, I'm just too lazy and don't really edit Wikipedia much anyway so it's not of much benefit. 24.76.174.152 (talk) 08:33, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

“≲”? ≤
The page says “the reflexive closure of x<y is x≲y” and “the reflexive reduction of x≲y is x<y”. Exactly what is the symbol “≲” supposed to mean here? I first assumed that it is just a typo and should be “≤” instead, but it occurs twice. — Miym (talk) 23:34, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that must have been some kind of error. The character in question was Unicode point 2272 (see Unicode_Mathematical_Operators and ). I fixed it. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:49, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

 * It was, sorry about that. Thanks for fixing it. 24.76.174.152 (talk) 08:29, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Graph theory
This article could be made much clearer if a reflexive graph were included. -Rlinfinity (talk) 19:11, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Examples section
With the examples, shouldn't there be a definition of what set the relations are reflexive or irreflexive on? I would assume that it was the original authors intention that the examples refer to the set of real numbers, but I think that should be specified.

For example, on the set S = {5,3}, the relation divides is not reflexive, but is listed in the examples of being reflexive. Collinslyle (talk) 22:38, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Huh? 3 divides 3 and 5 divides 5, so it's a reflexive relation.  Every reasonable definition of divisibility has that x divides x for all x. --JBL (talk) 23:07, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Taryn Manning

Taryn Manning (born November 6, 1978) is an American actress and singer. She is best known for portraying Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett in the Netflix original series Orange Is the New Black (2013–2019), Cherry in Sons of Anarchy (2008–2010), Nola in Hustle & Flow (2005) and Janeane in 8 Mile (2002).

Early life
Taryn Manning was born in Falls Church, Virginia, the daughter of Bill Manning, a musician, and his wife, Sharyn Louise (née White). Manning's parents divorced when she was two months old. She and her brother Kellin were raised by their mother in Tucson, Arizona. Manning grew up living in a trailer park with her brother and single mother, who supported the family on a strict income: "My mom didn't buy herself a new pair of shoes and a new outfit until I moved out ... Literally when I asked my mom for a dollar I got one single dollar." In spite of the family's financial troubles, her mother was able to enroll Manning in karate, dance, and acting classes. When Manning was 12, her family relocated to Encinitas, California. Two years later, her father died by suicide.

1999–2005: Beginnings
Manning began acting in the late 1990s, appearing in small roles in several film and television productions, including episodes of The Practice, Get Real, NYPD Blue and Popular. She also made a guest-appearance on the TV series Boston Public, in a role that was specifically written for her. In 1999, she had an uncredited role in Speedway Junky. She also auditioned for the American version of Popstars, which aired in early 2001 on The WB.

She made her film debut with a part in the romantic drama Crazy/Beautiful, which was followed by a role in the 2002 feature film Crossroads, where she played one of two best friends of singer Britney Spears. She had minor roles in 8 Mile as B-Rabbit's ex-girlfriend, Janeane, and in Peter Kosminsky's White Oleander. Along with supporting roles in the films Lucky 13 and Debating Robert Lee, Manning appeared briefly in Anthony Minghella's Civil War melodrama Cold Mountain (2003) and in the romantic comedy A Lot Like Love (2005).

2005–present: Independent films and breakthrough
Her breakthrough role was as Nola, a prostitute in Memphis, Tennessee, in the 2005 film Hustle & Flow. Director Craig Brewer saw Manning's picture in a photography book and was convinced that the actress who played Nola should look just like her. Subsequent film roles include Unbeatable Harold, When the Nines Roll Over., and, later, Weirdsville, which co-starred Scott Speedman and Wes Bentley. Boomkat's song "It's Not My Fault" appeared on the soundtrack for the film as a duet by Manning and John Rowley. In 2007, she played Ivy Chitty on the short-lived Fox television series Drive. In After Sex Manning played the supporting role of Alanna. She had leading roles in horror films Cult and Banshee; in the latter, she performed her own stunts. "I got hurt one day during one of the chase scenes, where another car crashed into my car," Manning explained of her stunts. Manning appeared in the romantic comedy Jack and Jill vs. the World. She played Rita Cherry on four episodes of Sons of Anarchy. In 2008 she appeared in Butch Walker's music video for "The Weight Of Her" and in will.i.am's collage-style music video, "Yes We Can". She co-starred with Bill Pullman in the surreal drama film Your Name Here, in which she played Nikki, who is based on Victoria Principal. The film is based loosely on sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick's life.

In 2009, she appeared in The Perfect Age of Rock 'n' Roll. The film received mostly favorable reviews from critics and fans. Manning joined forces with Ron Perlman in two 2009 films, The Devil's Tomb and The Job. She also appeared in the horror film Kill Theory. The Job premiered at the San Diego Film Festival on September 25, 2009. Critics called the film "entertaining and fun with twists that arrive like clockwork". In 2009, Taryn portrayed Caroline Bishop in Five Good Years. In February 2010, she was cast in the reboot of Hawaii Five-0 as the younger sister of main character Steve McGarrett.

In early 2012, Taryn signed on to star in the supernatural web series The Unknown, which premiered on Crackle on July 13, 2012. In 2013, she began playing Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett in the original Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. In 2015 she portrayed Michelle Knight in the Lifetime film Cleveland Abduction based on the real-life events surrounding Ariel Castro's kidnappings.

Manning was a part of Season 16 of the celebrity version of Worst Cooks in America. She quit the season in the second episode after refusing to eat a chicken foot. In 2020, Taryn signed on to Coke Daniel's upcoming suspense thriller Karen. She played the role of Karen Drexler, a literal Karen (slang) who is obsessed with her black neighbors.

2001–2011: Pop music beginnings and Boomkat
In 2001, Manning auditioned for the musical reality television show Popstars USA on the WB. In 2003, Manning and her brother Kellin formed the band Boomkat. The band first signed a major label deal with American Idol producer Randy Jackson, but the deal fell through. Robbie Robertson then signed them to DreamWorks Records, which was Boomkat's label from 2002 to 2004. In 2002, she sang a rendition of "I'll Take You There" with Tweet in several Gap commercials directed by Peter Lindbergh. Their debut album, Boomkatalog.One, was released on March 18, 2003. Boomkat released two singles "The Wreckoning" and "What U Do 2 Me". The first single, "The Wreckoning", hit No. 1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The band closed out 2003 as the No. 5 Hot Dance Club Play Artist for the year in Billboard Magazine. Music from Boomkatalog.One has also appeared in movies, including Mean Girls, Crossroads, The Hot Chick, 8 Mile and The Italian Job.

After a hiatus, in an interview in October 2005's issue of Nylon magazine, Manning mentioned that she is writing songs for the new album once they find another record label. In 2007, the act was dropped by their label Dreamworks. Boomkat released their first single in four years, called "Runaway" on April 8, 2008. In early June 2008, Boomkat's second album A Million Trillion Stars became available in online stores.

In October 2008, Boomkat played several shows throughout the Los Angeles area, hitting spots like North Hollywood's NOHO Scene Festival and venues such as the Viper Room and Hotel Cafe. In December 2008 Manning recorded a version of Tom Petty's "Christmas All Over Again", which premiered on her official Myspace page. On March 3, 2009, their official first single, "Run Boy" was released along with a visually electric music video. The single premiered on People.com. A Million Trillion Stars was officially released on March 10 by independent record label, Little Vanilla Records. In 2009, Manning was featured on indie band Dreamers' song "Lonely World", as well as in their new music video called "The Dreamers". In the music video, she takes on the role of Ring Master. On October 28, she announced that Boomkat is working on their third studio album. The band's fifth music video from A Million Trillion Stars premiered on MySpace on Wednesday, February 17, 2010.

2009–present: Solo career
In September 2009, Manning stated that she is working on a solo album. She sang her first solo single, "So Talented" in an episode of Melrose Place. The song was written with the producer Linney (Darkchild Entertainment). After the song "Spotlight" was featured in an episode of Hawaii Five-0, it was released via iTunes & Amazon MP3. "Turn It Up" was released as the first official single in 2011. The music video premiered on People.com on May 4, 2011. "Turn It Up" peaked at No. 21 on Billboard (magazine)'s Dance Club Songs Chart for the week of October 22, 2011. Manning's single "Send Me Your Love" was released digitally on August 21, 2012. The song was the first official single from her solo album entitled Freedom City, which was released in September. It topped the Dance Club Songs chart. Manning followed "Send Me Your Love" with "Summer Ashes", a collaboration with KDrew released on July 23, 2013. Her single with Bynon 'All The Way' was released January 12, 2015. On May 5, 2017, Manning released her solo single "Gltchlfe". The single peaked at number 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs Chart on August 10, 2017, becoming her second number 1 on the chart, following "Send Me Your Love" in 2012. In 2019, she released the single "The Light" as well as three remixes. The singles "Bring Me Back To You" and "Chains" were also released in 2019. On August 14, 2020, she released the single "Time Wasted" for digital streaming.

Other ventures
Boomkat's independent label, Little Vanilla Records is owned by Manning. From 2005 to 2009 Manning co-owned a clothing line called Born Uniqorn with best friend Tara Jane. She has appeared in advertising campaigns for Juicy Couture and Frankie B. Her campaign with Frankie B included a short film, called "Let's Get Lost", which is the original song featured in the video by musician Gilby Clarke with vocals by Manning. She has appeared on the cover of several magazines, including Nylon, Stuff, FHM, Dazed & Confused, 944, Music Fashion, Miami Living and Paw Print. Manning posed nude for Playboy in the April 2011 issue of the magazine.

Personal life
As of 2020, Manning resides in Palm Springs, California. In 2017, Manning stated she prefers men and does not identify as lesbian, though she has dated women.

Manning was aboard JetBlue Flight 292 when it made an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport on September 21, 2005, after the nose gear jammed in an abnormal position. No one was injured. She stated that "it was the most surreal, out-of-body experience I ever had."

Legal and personal issues
On October 12, 2012, Manning was arrested for assaulting her personal assistant and makeup artist, Holli Hartman. Hartman, who resided in Manning's apartment at the time, declined to prosecute. Manning's lawyer cited Hartman as saying that she and Manning loved each other and wanted the ordeal to be over. In November 2012, Manning accepted a plea bargain of one day of community service and good behavior for the next six months, after which the case would be closed.

In November 2014, Manning was arrested for violating a restraining order and making criminal threats against girlfriend Jeanine Heller. In 2015, Manning accused Heller of harassment. Heller was sentenced to four months in jail for violating the conditions of her plea bargain. Prior to their relationship souring, Heller and Manning lived together at Heller's New York residence. In 2016, Manning was found to have fabricated contact violations, and as a result Heller had been falsely arrested and imprisoned via forced plea deal. In 2020 Heller was awarded damages for an undisclosed amount from the Manhattan District Attorney and New York State Supreme Court.

In 2016, Manning was again accused of attacking girlfriend Hollianne Hartman. Hartman sought a domestic restraining order against Manning but was denied due to jurisdictional issues. The attack was one of several that Hartman claimed to have suffered, with the most recent alleged abuse occurring in late 2015 at Manning's Manhattan apartment. Manning's lawyer stated that the application for a restraining order was preceded by stalking and theft charges filed against Hartman and was intended as a distraction from those charges.

In 2016, Manning filed a lawsuit against the state of New York claiming she was falsely arrested in 2014. A Manhattan judge dismissed the case stating Manning's claims “lacked merit” and no such violation occurred.

In 2019, Manning claimed she was "epically hack[ed]" and the victim of "cyber-criminals" and "cyberbullying" after several disturbing Instagram posts included disparaging remarks about the cast of Orange is the New Black.

Substance abuse issues
Manning has alcohol use disorder. In 2016, Orange is the New Black producers threatened to remove Manning from the show and required her to enter a drug rehabilitation facility for treatment after her alcohol use began to interfere with production of the series. Manning, defying production orders, refused treatment and left rehab after one day.

In 2023, Manning caused concern when she posted a series of erratic content to her social media including a video of her inebriated behind the wheel of a car detailing her affair with a married man.

Shalabi Effect

Shalabi Effect is a mostly instrumental band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band was originally formed in 1996 as a duo composed of Anthony Seck and Sam Shalabi. Shalabi is an Egyptian-Canadian musician who is also the founder of Swamp Circuit, Detention, Nutsak, The Dwarfs of East Agouza, Moose Terrific and the orchestra Land of Kush. Seck is a filmmaker and member of the supergroup Valley of the Giants.

History
Shalabi and Seck independently released their first recording, a self-titled limited-edition cassette, in 1998. They then added Montreal artist and musician Alexandre Saint-Onge on double bass, and Will Eizlini on tablas and recorded the song "Aural Florida" at Red Rocket Studios in Montreal. The 36-minute song was meant to be half of a split CD with Godspeed You! Black Emperor, produced by Alien8. Instead, Alien8 became their label and they recorded "Aural Florida" for a second time at Sound of Sound of One Hand Studios in Ottawa, along with several other songs. The result was the two-CD album Shalabi Effect, which was released in 2000. The album continues in the tradition of live improvisation based on Middle Eastern modes but with a more experimental approach. It also includes strange semi-broken electronics and a variety of odd instruments, most of which were lying around in the studio where it was recorded.

Returning from touring the United States in the autumn of 2000, the group stepped into the studio for the third time. This time with a mind to create an EP release that captured the mood of the tour. In fact the EP, entitled, The Trial of St. Orange, has a great deal more varied material, including a drum 'n bass mix. Pink Abyss, dubbed by the band as their "pop" record, was released in January 2004. In 2005, they released their fourth album, Unfortunately.

On July 18, 2007, Anthony Seck was a guest, and music from the Shalabi Effect was featured on an unscheduled "technical test" episode of Tom Green Live. Anthony Seck was again featured on Tom Green Live in March 2008 in a segment called 'Shalabi with Cheese'.

Sutton-in-the-Isle

Sutton or Sutton-in-the-Isle is a village and civil parish in the county of Cambridgeshire in England, near the city of Ely. The "in-the-Isle" suffix refers to the fact that the village is part of the Isle of Ely, once an island in the Fens and also an administrative county until 1965.

The village location on the high ground of the Isle of Ely provides commanding views across the surrounding low-lying fens.

History
The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, identified as Sudtone. There were then 9 sokemen, 8 villeins (each with 7.5 acres), 15 cotters and 7 serfs.

In 1109, the charter 51 of Bishop Hervey included Suttune in the lands recorded as being conferred upon the Cathedral Priory of Ely. According to the Ely Diocesan Register, the Manor of Sutton was established in 1292 and belonged to the Priory. In 1312, Sutton was granted the right to hold a street market each Thursday; this was held on the broader part of the High Street, outside what is now the One Stop Shop. During the 14th century, the Sutton resident Reginald de Beringhale also became a major landowner, further developing his father's programme of land acquisition.

The vicarage of St Andrew's was instituted in 1254, and the re-building of the church started between 1350 and 1360. It was completed by 1388. With two octagons atop each other crowning its square tower, it is reminiscent of Ely Cathedral, from whom it enjoyed patronage. It has a distinctively shaped tower that is often described as being in the shape of a pepper pot. Several non-conformist chapels once also existed in the village. These included a Methodist chapel constructed in 1790, following a visit by John Wesley in 1774, and a Baptist chapel built in the same century. Both of these closed in recent decades, leaving the Anglican church as the sole place of worship.

By 1599, the village was so prosperous that it became known as "Golden Sutton." In 1800, it had a population of about 950, quickly rising to 1,862 by 1851.

Although a school had been established in the village in 1579, under William Heye, it was not until 1860 that the first purpose-built school building opened. John Taylor was the first headmaster for the boys, and his wife was the headmistress for the girls. The school continues to this day and has expanded to serve the village's growing population.

A railway station was opened in 1866, with the Great Eastern Railway inaugurating passenger-train services to Ely on 16 April. The railway line was later extended round the edge of the fen to Earith Bridge and onto St Ives, with this branch opening on 11 May 1878. The combined line was then reorganised to become the Ely and St Ives Railway. The branch to St Ives was closed on 6 October 1958, followed by the line to Ely on 13 July 1964, as part of the Beeching Axe.

In 1942, with the increase in bomber operations in World War II, work began on RAF Mepal between the villages of Sutton and Mepal. The airfield opened in 1943 and remained operational for the rest of the war.

During the 1960s, the Sutton Gault hamlet was the site of one of the world's first tracked hovercraft, designed by Eric Laithwaite. A linear induction motor propelled this hovertrain and ran alongside the Old Bedford River, on a one-mile section of air-cushion trackway.

In 1984, Sutton Village was given a bypass. In 2002, it won the East Cambs, Cambridgeshire and Calor England and Wales Village of the Year awards.

The village has known a variety of businesses throughout its history. It was once well known for fruit-growing, but has also been a place for cheese production. Later, it manufactured road sweepers, and now it hosts a monthly auction of construction and agricultural equipment, which is the largest of its kind in Europe. In addition, a straw-burning power station was opened in 1996.

Governance
Sutton is a civil parish with an elected Parish council. Services include community meeting rooms, sports and recreation facilities, a bus shelter, a cemetery, local planning consultation, a community time bank, play area, street lighting, grants to local organisations and a war memorial. Parish council meetings are usually held in either The Glebe or The Pavilion on a Tuesday evening.

The village was part of Ely Rural District council from 1894 until 1974. East Cambridgeshire District Council (ECDC) was formed in 1974 with administration buildings in Ely. The district council collects taxes, provides services such as building regulations and local planning, leisure and tourism, handles issues strategic to the district, and many other services. The village is part of Sutton ward, which includes some smaller neighbouring villages and is represented by two district councillors. East Cambridgeshire is in turn part of Cambridgeshire County Council which has administration buildings in Cambridge. The county council provides county-wide services such as major road infrastructure, fire and rescue, libraries and heritage, and strategic planning. The village is part of the Sutton electoral division, represented by a county councillor who also represents a number of smaller neighbouring villages.

The Parish Council developed a Neighbourhood Plan for the parish, which was adopted following a referendum on 2 May 2019, with 90.5% of the votes supporting the plan.

Village amenities
Currently the village has a One Stop shop, a Co-Op shop, a pharmacy, a hairdressers, a barbers, an Indian restaurant and take-away, a Chinese take-away and chip shop, a fish and chip shop, a pub "Chequers", a family run garage and a motor repair centre. There is also a GP surgery. The old butcher's shop in the High Street became a deli, with seating for food and beverages. but closed in 2019.

Bus services link the village to Ely and Cambridge to the south and Chatteris to the north with a two hourly service during the daytime and no service in the evenings or on a Sunday.

The Glebe community centre provides a range of meeting rooms used by local community groups as well as being used for private hires such as wedding receptions. It is also the location of the Parish Office which is open between 10 am and 12 noon Monday to Thursday. The Community Room is located adjacent to the school and provides an additional meeting room used by a number of local groups including a monthly community café.

Sports and recreation
The village has a cricket club with its own grounds and cricket pavilion. Adjacent to the Brooklands Centre off the Brook, the Parish Council provides playing fields, a multi-use games area and a sports pavilion used by local football teams and other local sports groups. The village bowls club green is also next to the sports pavilion. The pavilion also hosts a weekly pensioners' lunch club. In nearby Stirling Way the Parish Council provides a children's play area. Elsewhere on the south side of the village is the Recreation Ground, previously used for organised sporting events but now used as an informal recreation and dog walking area.

New developments
Linden Homes submitted a major planning application early in 2017. Concerns were raised about the impact of this development on village services such as the school and the GP surgery. East Cambridgeshire District Council refused an initial application for 77 homes but Linden Homes subsequently took this to appeal and were successful. Those homes are currently under construction with an outline application for a further 173 homes currently being considered by the District Council. This would lead to an overall development of 250 homes in accordance with the Neighbourhood Plan.

Wider parish
Sutton Gault (Bury Lane) is a part of the parish of Sutton-in-the-Isle. The name derives from the gault clay that has been extracted from there. It comprises a few houses and farms, a guest home, "Grove Barn" and an inn, "The Anchor". The Old Bedford River and New Bedford River pass through Sutton Gault. The land between them, known as the Ouse Washes, a giant flood water reservoir which also forms part of an internationally important wetland habitat. When the flood water is very high the road through the Washes is impassible and closed to traffic.

The Americas, also known as The America or just America, is another part of the parish. Although it is treated as a separate settlement from the village of Sutton-in-the-Isle on some maps, most residents consider it part of the village and the equivalent of a street name. So far the origins of the name remain a mystery. It is known to have had its name since at least 1881 as it is mentioned in the census of that year, although the name could be much older.

Bracket racing

Bracket racing is a form of drag racing that allows for a handicap between predicted elapsed time of the two cars over a standard distance, typically within the three standard distances (1/8 mile, 1,000 foot, or 1/4 mile) of drag racing.

Goal
The effect of the bracket racing rules is to place a premium on consistency of performance of the driver and car rather than on raw speed, which in turn makes victory much less dependent on large infusions of money and more dependent on mechanical and driving skill. This includes reaction times, shifting abilities, and ability to control the car. Therefore, bracket racing (using the aforementioned handicapping system) is popular with casual weekend racers, some who even drive their vehicles to the track, race them, and then simply drive them home.

This format allows for wide varieties of cars to race against each other. While traditional drag racing separates cars into a wide variety of classes based on power and weight, bracket racing classes can be simpler and can accommodate any vehicle with basic technical/safety inspection. Race events organized in this way are sometimes called "run-what-ya-brung".

Dial-in
Each car chooses a dial-in time before the race, predicting the elapsed time the driver estimates it will take their car to cross the finish line. This is usually displayed on one or more windows so the starter can adjust the "Christmas tree" starting lights accordingly. The slower car in the race is given the green light before the faster car by a margin of the difference between their two dial-in times.

In principle, if both drivers have equal reaction times and their cars run exactly their posted dial-ins, both cars should cross the finish line at precisely the same time. In reality, this is an extremely rare occurrence. Measuring devices both at the start and at the end of the track post times down to 1/100000 of a second (0.00001s precision), which makes tied races almost impossible.

Some forms of bracket racing (NHRA Competition Eliminator, NHRA Stock groups) have cars classified by type, and the dial-in time is based on the type of car that is entered.

Reaction time
When a car leaves the starting line, a timer is started for that car. The difference between when the green light comes on and when the car actually leaves the starting line is called the reaction time. If a driver leaves before the light turns green, he/she is automatically red-lighted and disqualified for that round unless the opponent commits a more serious violation (crossing a track boundary line, timing block, or touching the barrier). Depending on the Christmas Tree being used, either the first car to redlight, or more recently with many events (including NHRA national events) with TruStart, the driver who has a worse red-light foul, is provisionally disqualified.

Sometimes, people incorrectly refer "reaction time" to the unrelated 60 foot takeoff time. The reaction time is merely an indication of how fast a driver reacted compared to when the green light came on. The 60 foot takeoff time is an indicator of how fast the vehicle started moving at the beginning of the race, regardless of the driver’s reaction time. If the driver launched the car with too much power for the available traction, he will have wheelspin and correspondingly will have a longer time to cross the 60 foot barrier if he were to drive with more finesse.

Breaking out
Breaking out is when a racer manages to cross the finish line in less time than the one he dialed-in beforehand.

 * If only one car "breaks out", it is disqualified and the other one wins by default.
 * If both cars break out, the one closer to the dial-in time wins.
 * A foul start, crossing the boundary line or wall, or failure to be at post-race inspection override any breaking out violations.
 * Not all bracket racing classes have breaking out (NHRA Competition Eliminator).
 * Based on a driver's competition licence or a chassis certification, an absolute limit may be imposed. A car going faster than the absolute limit may be automatically disqualified.

Absolute Breakout
An absolute breakout that is imposed based on the licensing of the vehicle and/or the driver. Depending on class, a driver may be given one warning, but in most cases they are immediately disqualified. Violations involving absolute breakout include:

Examples:
 * A car goes faster than the legal certification limit of the chassis. Examples include:
 * A dragster that is not certified for Top Alcohol Dragster is faster than 5.99 seconds required for Top Alcohol Dragster certification.
 * A full bodied car that is certified for 7.50 seconds goes faster than 7.49 seconds.
 * A stock sedan with just a standard three-point harness goes faster than 11.49 seconds (five point harness required at that speed).
 * A vehicle goes 150 mph (240 km/h) or faster in the quarter-mile and does not have a parachute, required for cars that speed or faster.
 * A driver goes faster than the legal limit of his competition licence. Examples include:
 * A driver's competition licence only is for cars 7.50 to 8.99 seconds, and his car goes faster than 7.49 seconds.
 * In Junior Dragster, a driver goes faster than the absolute limit imposed by his competition licence or is warned two times during a meeting:
 * Drivers age 5 cannot be faster than 20.00 seconds in the eighth mile during their solo passes.
 * Drivers 6-7 are restricted to 13.90 in the eighth mile, with a warning at 13.70 (or 7.00 in the sixteenth mile), with an absolute limit of 13.50 (or 6.80).
 * Drivers 8-9 are restricted to 11.90 in the eighth mile, with a warning at 11.70 (or 6.10), with an absolute limit of 11.50 (or 5.90).
 * Drivers 10-12 are restricted to 8.90 in the eighth mile, with a warning at 8.70 (or 4.70), with an absolute limit of 8.50 (or 4.50).
 * Drivers 13-18 are restricted to 7.90 in the eighth mile, with an absolute limit of 7.50 (or 4.10) and 85.00 MPH.
 * Drivers in Jr Comp are restricted to 6.90 in the eighth mile, with an absolute limit of 6.70 and 110.00 MPH.
 * Drivers who exceed the absolute limit are subject to further NHRA discipline.

This eliminates any advantage from bending the rules by putting a slow dial-in time on the windshield to get a head start. However, some racers will purposely dial a slower time and then let off of the throttle or use their brakes near the end of the track in an attempt to use strategy to win the race rather than relying on the car to run the dial in.

Bracket Racing Strategy
Bracket racing boils down mainly into one thing; putting up the best "package". The best package is technically the winner in every drag race. A "package" is : package = drivers reaction time + deviation from the dial-in. For example:

Driver A has a reaction time of 0.025 and his car runs 9.653 on a 9.64 dial in. His package = 0.025 + (9.653-9.64) = 0.038

Driver B has a reaction time of 0.005 and his car runs 10.684 on a 10.66 dial in. His package = 0.005 + (10.684-10.66) = 0.029

In this scenario driver B wins despite his car running further off the number. But we can deduce even more than just that he won; we can see that he won by a (0.038 - 0.029) = 0.009 finish margin which is about 22 inches at about 140 mph.

The formula used to calculate the margin of victory is :

17.6 * finish margin * behind vehicle mph = finish margin in inches

Professional (and some amateur) bracket racing has evolved over the years into a drivers' sport. It used to consist of trying to get a good reaction time then hoping the car ran near the number. Drivers would avoid breaking out like the plague, dialing their cars 0.01 faster than it had ever gone before.

Now it has turned into a chess match between two drivers, guessing each other's next move. The race starts in the staging lane where drivers get ready to race, and decide what dial in to put on their cars. This is arguably the most important part of a bracket race: making sure of being able to "run the number". In other words, drivers make sure they can go as fast as their dial in says they can. Everyone has a different strategy, but any strategy has its flaws and can be beaten; that why the best strategy is one that includes many different strategies and cannot be predicted.

Red Light and other fouls
If a car leaves the starting line before the green light comes on, a foul is recorded (a red-light start), and that car is provisionally disqualified. Traditionally, only the first car to foul start is shown the red light; an automatic green light is shown in the other lane at the appropriate time. Since 2016, many tracks (and the NHRA) now use TruStart, which is new code written to the Christmas Tree. When the first car launches, a green light will be initially shown, even if the driver committed a foul start. Once the second driver leaves, if one driver has a negative reaction time (foul start), that driver's lane will be shown a red light. If both lanes show a negative reaction time, only the lane with the worse negative reaction time will be shown a red light (left lane -.021 and right lane -.020, red light on the left lane only). Another form of foul is to cross the dividing line between the two lanes, or the line at the edge of the racing surface, both of which negates a red light foul. A foul is worse than a break out; one car can break out but if the other car fouls, the car that breaks out advances to the next round unless it is an absolute breakout (in certain classes only). If both cars foul, the lesser of the violations is the winner; a break-out is the least serious violation, then a red light, crossing the boundary line at the edge of the surface, crossing the dividing line between the lanes, leaving before the tree is started, failure of technical inspection after the run, and then absolute breakout.

Both cars are disqualified in double fouls if both competitors cross either boundary line (edge of surface or dividing lane between lanes), but if one car has crossed the boundary line and the other car must cross the line to avoid the car that first crossed, the car that crossed the line to avoid a collision is automatically declared the winner and advances. Only one car is disqualified if both competitors commit different fouls of the other type. Both drivers are disqualified if they leave before the tree is started, but if video evidence can show which of the two drivers left first, only the first driver is disqualified. If one car leaves before the tree is started, the other driver is automatically the winner, regardless of a further red light or crossing either boundary line (which by rule becomes a single run with a "no time, took green light" win status). In a final, in case of a double disqualification on boundary lines or leaving before the tree is started, only the first driver to foul (cross the boundary line, leave before tree started) will be tagged.

In any single run, once a car is staged (bye run or opponent unable to stage), it automatically wins and does not need to cross the finish line. The driver will not be shown a red light for a foul start, as the red light is automatically placedin the other lane. However, if the car crosses a boundary line, the run will be disqualified. In such cases, the car will be scored as if it did not finish ("no time, took green light").
