Uta Kata

Uta∽Kata (うた∽かた (詩片)) is a 2004 anime television series. Written differently (泡沫), the title can refer to bubbles and is used as such in the ending theme.

The series can be loosely considered a magical girl story. However, this series deviates from more conventional magical girl themes in that it addresses topics that are for a more mature audience, such as child abuse, eating disorders, and possibly misanthropy. Nevertheless, it illustrates the main character's coming of age with each episode, becoming more and more emotionally intense as the story goes on.

The story follows Ichika Tachibana's life over a summer holiday when she meets Manatsu Kuroki. The series details their summer activities and the use of special creatures called Djinn (ジン jin) that lend their powers to Ichika to help her and her friends when they invariably find themselves in danger and eventually for their own motives.

Plot
On the day before the summer holiday, Ichika Tachibana discovers that the charm attached to her cell phone has somehow wound up inside a mirror in the old school building. A girl named Manatsu Kuroki, inside the mirror, offers to return the charm and phone in exchange for a favor. When Ichika accepts, Manatsu emerges from the mirror, but Ichika finds to her chagrin that the charm's stones' have taken on different colors. Her indignation soon turns to delight as she is transformed by the charm and given an incredibly moving experience in the skies above Kamakura.

After returning to the old classroom, Manatsu asks that Ichika use all the colored stones in the charm and record her experiences and thoughts. Starting with the facade of Manatsu as her text-message pal, Ichika begins to entangle herself in a web of small lies and deceptions.

When Ichika faces dangers during the summer holiday, she at first uses the Djinn's power in the stones to resolve them supernaturally. But as the summer draws on, she begins to use the power even though there is no imminent danger. Through each experience with the Djinn she learns about her willfulness and that of others. Slowly, the power of the Djinn erodes her emotional, physical, and mental strength, and she abuses the power to the point of attempting murder.

Meanwhile, Ichika's tutors, Sei and Kai, are tormented by Ichika's ordeal — Sei went through the very same thing six years ago. They very much want to prevent Ichika from experiencing the same trials but are bound to the rules of the ritual. When Sei tried to interfere, he was turned into stone as a penalty. Although Ichika tries to abandon using the Djinn's power altogether, she finds herself losing control over her actions. Faced with fear, sadness, or anger, she finds that the Djinn grant her power against her will. Not only this, she finds that she cannot discard the charm, as it will fly back to her.

Ichika had been subjected to a ritual judgment determined from the time she was conceived. Saya, the final Djinn, would take a person of fourteen years — the age between the innocence of childhood and the hardness of adulthood — and show him or her the world through the eyes of the Djinn. The individual would experience seven trials that contrasted seven virtues and sins: affection and resentment, temperance and hubris, devotion and rebellion, honesty and treachery, reason and envy, passion and lust, wisdom and machination. When Ichika is thus led to despair in humanity and disgust of herself, Saya binds her to the mirror and asks her to decide whether to destroy humanity or herself.

In response, Ichika refuses to choose either. Saya declares that as a violation of the rules and drives her scythe toward Ichika's body. Sei shatters his stone skin and tries to stop the scythe, but Ichika decides that it is better that she die rather than see him hurt. Manatsu, in defiance, drives herself into the scythe, saving Ichika's life. Kai returns the life energy that kept him in human form to Sei, and he and Manatsu revert to their original forms: shards of the old mirror.

When school resumed in the fall, Ichika decided to remain at Kamakura rather than join her parents in Italy. Elsewhere, Saya determined to move on and judge the next teenager.

OVA
In the OVA Shotō no Futanatsu (初冬の双夏), Ichika hears that Manatsu has been seen again, one week before her birthday. Not long after the fall term had begun, Sei had transferred to a German university in an exchange program. On Christmas Eve, both discover that Manatsu and Kai's shards had vanished, and they reunite with Ichika and Sei, respectively. They had returned for one last night and to say goodbye. After an evening with Ichika and Sei, the shards return to Saya's old mirror during the night. The next spring, Ichika enters a new school year with her friends, while Saya's experiments continue with a new test subject.

Characters

 * Ichika Tachibana (橘 一夏)
 * Ichika is a 14-year-old Japanese middle school student living in Kamakura, who discovers on the day before summer holiday that a gift from her tutor is much more than a good-luck charm.

 * She is honest and polite to everyone, including her own parents, and always tries to do the right thing. She detests lying, especially if she finds herself doing it. As a result, her friends often playfully tease her for being straight-laced. Ichika is easily scared, and the thought of ghosts terrifies her, especially when she first sees Manatsu in a mirror they find in the school's oldest building.

 * Voiced by Yōko Honda

 * Manatsu Kuroki (黒城 舞夏)
 * Manatsu is a girl that Ichika met in dreams and a mirror.

 * Manatsu seems to be the polar opposite of Ichika in personality. When Ichika is hesitant, Manatsu is carefree and assertive; where the former is reserved, the latter is cheerfully outgoing. She also has striking similarities to Ichika — she knows and loves many of the same things Ichika does, and she shares the same fear of ghosts.

 * Voiced by Masumi Asano

 * Satsuki Takigawa (多岐川 皐月)
 * Ichika introduces her friend Satsuki as "a very responsible and strong person. You can always count on her." She is a brash girl who often takes the lead of Ichika and the other friends. A painful memory causes her to avoid most boys, despite her seemingly strong personality. Satsuki has an older brother, with whom she apparently gets along well, despite the fact that they bicker a fair bit.

 * Voiced by Tomoko Kawakami

 * Keiko Takamura (篁 蛍子)
 * Ichika describes her friend Keiko as "a proper young lady from a good family, gentle and kind." She is easily amused by simple things, such as shaking a duster in a sunbeam. Her parents appear to be rather controlling, which causes Keiko some distress in regard to a boy she liked.

 * Voiced by Yurika Ochiai

 * Michiru Munakata (宗方 未知留)
 * Ichika says of her friend Michiru, "She's really into literature, and her instincts are amazingly sharp." Due to being a miko and having the "power of vision", she can allegedly see ghosts and spirits. She is a quiet, if not shy, person. Michiru has a younger sister named Rui, of whose feelings she appears to be rather protective. Michiru is prone to making slightly odd comments and is unable to swim in the sea, claiming her skin is sensitive to saltwater. She tends to speak in a subdued tone of voice.

 * Voiced by Yukari Tamura

 * Sei Tōdō (藤堂 誓唯)
 * Sei is one of Ichika's tutors and a high school student. He instructs her in grammar, literature, and social sciences. He is introduced as the twin brother of Kai. Of the two, Sei usually seems to be the calmer, gentler one. Ichika has developed romantic feelings for him.

 * Voiced by Nobuo Tobita

 * Kai Tōdō (藤堂 繪委)
 * Kai is Ichika's other tutor. He teaches her math and science. He is introduced as the twin brother of Sei. Of the two, Kai seems the more extroverted one and more physical. He is in love with his twin brother.

 * Voiced by Nobutoshi Kanna

 * Saya Kogure (小暮 沙耶)
 * Saya is an enigmatic woman who is, at times, hidden from view of most people. She is the Tachibanas' next door neighbor and is in the fashion industry.

 * But this is only an illusion — she covertly pushes circumstances in Ichika's life to bring her to use the power of the Djinns. She can move anywhere at will, turn her scarf into a deadly scythe and other objects and keeps an eye on Ichika throughout the series. She strictly enforces rules concerning the activation of the stones: The current bearer must remain completely in the dark as to their true nature and purpose and no one may interfere with the bearer's decision to use the power.

 * Voiced by Maria Kawamura

Episode list
Similar to gímik's earlier work, Kiddy Grade (where a different guest artist drew the eyecatches for each episode), each episode's main costume was designed by a guest artist who also created artwork for the ending sequence of that episode.

Each episode preview in the anime was narrated by Ichika in the style of a diary entry. On the website, a corresponding entry narrated by Manatsu is available.

In a possible variation of the four-character yojijukugo, every title is composed of a pair of two-kanji words separated by a no particle. A literal, if rough, translation of most titles can be derived by assembling the phrase "[second word] of (the) [first word]".

The TV series and OVA has been licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks; anime distributor Section23 Films released the complete collection set on November 2, 2010.

Reaction
The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917 compares the series' underlying themes to those of Mahoromatic, noting that the story is "an allegory of the end of childhood and one last vacation before the responsibilities of the grown-up world start to impinge". It criticizes the OVA episode, calling it "a rather pointless rehash that to some minds betrays the elegiac quality of the original series—if everything can be reset and reprised à la Tenchi Muyo!, where's the drama?"

Progressive Party (Philippines)

The Progressive Party of the Philippines (PPP), also known as the Party for Philippine Progress, was a reformist political party that existed in the late 1950s and the 1960s. It is considered to be the earliest Filipino form of a genuine alternative party to the then-dominant political pair of the Nacionalista Party and the Liberal Party. The party ceased to exist by 1969.

1950s
The party was founded in 1957 by Manuel Manahan and Raul Manglapus, both of whom had served as key members of the administration of President Ramon Magsaysay before his untimely death earlier that year. The formation came as a result of the dissatisfaction of members of the Nacionalista Party over the "cold treatment" given to them by allies of newly installed President Carlos P. Garcia.

In the 1957 general election held later that year, Manahan ran as the standard-bearer of the new party while Vicente Araneta served as his running mate. The party also fielded a complete slate of eight senatorial candidates, among them being Manglapus.

Manahan launched a campaign similar to that of the deceased but still popular Magsaysay, thus allowing him to become popular with the masses and pose a credible threat to President Garcia and Jose Yulo of the Liberal Party. In the end, Manahan only ranked third behind President Garcia, managing to acquire 20.90 percent of the vote. Araneta, on the other hand, lost to Diosdado Macapagal of the Liberal Party, garnering 7.97 percent of the vote. None of the senatorial candidates in the party won seats in the Senate.

In the 1959 midterm election, the party allied itself with defectors of the Liberal Party and the Nacionalista Party to form the Grand Alliance. During the campaign, the Grand Alliance highlighted the graft and corruption taking place under the Garcia administration. Eventually, the Alliance was successful in diminishing the Senate majority of the Nacionalista Party.

1960s
In 1961, the Progressive party, under the Grand Alliance, joined forces with the Liberal Party in order to prevent the re-election of President Garcia. Together, the united parties supported Vice-President Macapagal of the Liberal Party as its candidate for the 1961 presidential election and Emmanuel Pelaez of the Progressive Party as his running mate. Progressives Manglapus and Manahan also ran as guest senatorial candidates of the Liberal Party, with both of them managing to win seats in the Senate.

By 1965, members of the Grand Alliance separated themselves from the Liberal Party due to their dissatisfaction with the Macapagal administration for not fulfilling their expectations. Soon, the Progressive Party was renamed as the Party for Philippine Progress. It fielded Manglapus as its presidential candidate for the general election held later that year, and Manahan ran as its vice-presidential candidate. The rejuvenated party also fielded its own senatorial slate, though it was incomplete.

Widely known as the Third Force, the Party for Philippine Progress was seen as a genuine alternative to President Macapagal and Senator Ferdinand Marcos of the Nacionalista Party. Manglapus, in particular, showed surprising strength in the larger cities and the young voters. But unlike the 1957 election in which Manahan was seen as a viable contender, Manglapus was not seen as having a good chance of winning the election. In the end, Manglapus lost to Marcos with 5.17 percent of the vote, while Manahan lost to Fernando Lopez, the running mate of Marcos, with 3.40 percent of the vote.

The party continued to exist until it quietly disbanded in 1969.

Candidates
The following were members of the Progressive Party who ran as candidates in the national elections. Those highlighted in bold signify those who were able to win the position they were running for.

 * Notes

Legacy
Despite the decline of the party, it had considerable influence in current Philippine politics. For instance, the Lakas CMD, an active center-right political party in the country, considers the Progressive Party as its predecessor, largely because Manglapus was one of the earliest members of Lakas in the 1990s.

Elements of progressive political philosophy are also believed to have been passed on to later politicians no matter what part of the political spectrum they may belong to, such as former senator Raul Roco.

Centennial Grounds

Centennial Grounds or Centennial Park was a baseball ground in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was home to the short-lived Philadelphia Centennials baseball club of the National Association during the 1875 season, so it is considered a major league ballpark by those who count the NA as a major league. It was also the site of one home game by the Athletics. It occupied the same block as the later Recreation Park.

Sunshine Coast Regional District

The Sunshine Coast Regional District is a regional district in British Columbia, Canada. It is located on the southern mainland coast, across Georgia Strait (part of the Salish Sea) from Vancouver Island. It borders on the qathet Regional District to the north, the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District to the east, and, across Howe Sound, the Metro Vancouver District to the south. The regional district offices are located in the District Municipality of Sechelt.

Geography
The majority of the Sunshine Coast is sparsely populated. The Coast Mountains make up the inland area. Population is concentrated along the coast. Midway up the coast, beginning at the town of Sechelt, the coastal area forms a peninsula separated from the inland area by Sechelt Inlet. The 2016 census reported a total population of 29,970 persons living on a land area of 3,778.17 km2 (1,458.76 sq mi).

The Sunshine Coast is typically accessed via boat or plane; no roads connect the district with the rest of the province. From Vancouver, ferries run from Horseshoe Bay to Gibsons across Howe Sound. At the northern end of the peninsula, ferries run from Earl's Cove to Saltery Bay.

The Distance (Bob Seger album)

The Distance is the twelfth studio album by US-American rock singer Bob Seger, released in December 1982. It peaked at #5 on Billboard's album chart and sold close to two million copies in the United States.

Seger, influenced by the Woody Allen film Annie Hall, originally intended the album to be built around the theme of relationships but eventually that fell apart when Seger decided that sticking to the theme too strictly would make the album "maudlin". Several songs based on the original theme made it on the album: the hit single "Even Now", "Love’s the Last to Know", "House Behind a House" and the album closer "Little Victories".

The album's lead single, "Shame on the Moon", was one of Seger's biggest hits, holding at #2 for four weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. It also hit #1 Adult Contemporary and crossed over to #15 Country.

Capitol Records had stopped manufacturing albums in the 8-track tape cartridge format by the time this album was released. However, Seger asked the label to include that format for this album, knowing that many of his fans still used 8-track players.

This is also the title of a song by the band, Cake.--DemonicB 17:20, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)

Drew Abbott's status as a Silver Bullet Band member on this album
I see some debate as to whether he belongs in the "Silver Bullet Band" or "Additional musicians" subsection of "Personnel". The article already cites Rolling Stone magazine, and the source describes the "nucleus" of the "Silver Bullet Band" as bassist Chris Campbell, keyboardist Craig Frost and saxophonist Alto Reed, and the only songs the liner notes credit Abbott as having played on are "Makin' Thunderbirds" and "Shame on the Moon". Having played on just two songs on the whole album certainly make him an official and member. Having said that, I'm gonna go ahead and move Abbot from the "Silver Bullet Band" subsection to the "additional musicians" subsection, moving him back to where he'd been before this debate began. 2601:153:881:3D60:C5E7:8434:4EA7:5E6 (talk) 12:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

The Adventures of Lano and Woodley

The Adventures of Lano and Woodley is an Australian comedy television show starring the comedic duo of Lano and Woodley (Colin Lane and Frank Woodley), consisting of two series which aired on ABC TV from 1997 to 1999. The first series was distributed on VHS and in 2004 The Complete Adventures of Lano and Woodley was released as a two-disc DVD rather than each series being released separately.

According to Tony Martin, Seasons 3 and 4 of the show were written, but never were produced due to the head of comedy at the ABC at the time saying the show was not topical enough. Martin said that Lane and Woodley wrote six episodes for a third season, and comedy writers such as himself, Matthew Quartermaine and Matt Cameron wrote seven episodes for a fourth season.

Season one
The Adventures of Lano and Woodley first screened on the ABC on 1 September 1997, and in the UK it was shown on BBC2 in September 1999. The series was produced by Working Title/Polygram UK, with Marc Gracie as the Australian Producer. The episodes "Starquest" and "The Girlfriend" were directed by Bob Spiers (who also directed Fawlty Towers and Absolutely Fabulous), with Jon Olb and Mandy Smith directing 7 and 4 other episodes each, respectively. The series' music was by Mal Webb (except for "Starquest", to which Yuri Worontschak contributed).

Episodes in the first series were: Frank admits to Col that he is a virgin, and Col sees this as a chance to show up Frank, so he invents himself an imaginary girlfriend named Jenny. What starts off as a trick becomes a bit more serious when Frank starts feeling left out and decides to move out.
 * "The Girlfriend"

After the duo get fired again, Col tells Frank that he cannot be Frank's friend. Frank plans a holiday for the two of them to strengthen their friendship. When it is time to leave, Frank realises he has forgotten to book the caravan, and exacerbates matters by lying about the situation.
 * "One Simple Task"

Col and Frank find out that either them or their next-door neighbour Mitchell will be evicted if their apartment does not pass inspection by their landlord. With the knowledge they are up against a perfectionist, their attempts to improve their apartment result in irreversible damage and a major cover-up attempt by the pair.
 * "The Wall"

On Friday the 13th Col finds out that Frank is very superstitious. To help end his fears Col takes Frank to the local video shop to hire a scary video. After being spooked by the movie, Frank and Col start to experience numerous threats to their well-being.
 * "Tonight You Die"

Col and Frank decide they are good enough to appear on a local talent show, 'Starquest' (a parody of Young Talent Time). After working long and hard on a musical/dance routine, Col feels they are far better than any of the other contestants and deserve to be treated as celebrities. On the big night, things do not go exactly as planned, and the show ends up being cancelled when it's revealed that the show was rigged.
 * "Starquest"

Frank and Col decide to go looking for love in a local pub, and they find themselves coming home with two girls. The next morning when the girls have left they find a police officer knocking on their door and accusing them of robbery. Frank and Col then become fugitives while searching for who really committed the robbery.
 * "The Two Men"

Season two
First screened on The Comedy Network in Canada in March 1999 and then screened on the ABC TV on 15 May 1999. The series' music was by Mal Webb.

Episodes in the second series were: Col thinks that if something happens to him Frank will never be able to look after himself, so Col decides to help Frank become a man, like him. To achieve this, he makes Frank do a bunch of dangerous activities over a weekend-long 'survival camp' in their apartment (reminiscent of the Mythopoetic men's movement).
 * "Primal Warrior"

After finding out Frank cannot swim, Col takes him to the big outdoor swimming pool for a beginners swim class. Frank develops a crush on the swimming instructor after she performs CPR on him. Frank spends the episode trying to get her attention and admit his undying love for her, while Col steals the costume for his favourite TV character, Penguin Man.
 * "The Pool"

Col accidentally makes fun of his new neighbour's speech impediment, and in return she threatens that she will make Col sorry. While collecting items from around the apartment to donate to the local church's op shop, Frank accidentally puts Col's favourite pair of socks in the donation box. Col is convinced that their neighbour is stealing his washing out of retribution, and stages a showdown at the church's Easter Mass.
 * "The Easter Story"

Col learns that Frank has pogonophobia, (a fear of beards). This creates an argument between Col and Frank over who is more intelligent. They test this by competing over answers on their favourite show 'Mindbender' (a parody of Sale of the Century), but Col cheats in order to win. Not knowing this, Frank enters Col as a contestant on the show. Col ends up winning on the show against the carry over champion without answering a single question.
 * "Game Show God"

When Col's mother dies, a corrupt politician named Vera Watkins makes a secret deal to pretend that Col was adopted and that he is her long lost son, so that she can win back votes. Col believes that Watkins is his real mother and Col gets himself into more than he bargains for.
 * "Mother"

Col and Frank pretend to be baby photographers after hospitalising their boss so they can earn much money. When they accidentally switch two babies around after a photoshoot in the maternity ward, Frank and Col end up inadvertently stealing a baby and become fugitives from the law.
 * "I Love You Baby (Part 1 & 2)"

Recurring themes
This is because they needed to sing a song at various points in the series, and they did not have to pay royalties for Danny Boy. "Love him?... Love him?... I want to DESTROY HIM!"
 * The song "Danny Boy" is often sung or mentioned throughout the series, generally by Frank when he is frightened or in pain.
 * After mentioning to various characters that they must love someone, the person usually angrily replies
 * Frank has been known to give out a long whining yell throughout the series.
 * Whenever either of the duo tell a story of their past, they often mention a friend named Russell (who is a different man each time).
 * Whenever Frank mentions something that seems impossible to Colin, Colin lets out a long, loud laugh then saying "ahh.... you're gorgeous".
 * Colin normally gives very strong sarcastic replies to Frank throughout the series.
 * Whenever they manage to be successful at something, they give a quick thumbs up and a very big smile to each other.
 * When scared or intimidated Frank normally stands in a very stiff position with his eyes wide open and quickly fluttering his hands.
 * When either of them gets burnt, Colin says "Ooh! Burnies! Burnies! (object causing burn) burnies!" In a variation on the theme, in the episode "I Love You baby (Part 1)", Colin walks into a vehicles tow-bar and exclaims "Hurties! Hurties! Tow-bar hurties".
 * Colin often refers to Frank as a "stupid little skinny man".
 * The pair are fired from a job at the start of every episode, except for "I Love You baby (Part 2)", where it begins with Colin narrating a sequence of events that did not happen in "I Love You baby (Part 1)".
 * Near the start of most episodes (just after they have been fired) there is a visual joke at the kitchen table.
 * Either Colin or Frank often falls out of a window.

Talk:Government ownership

Nonsense removal

 * "Within the public sector, "public services" such as healthcare, education, police, fire service, financial services are sometimes distinguished from "public goods" like coal, and steel." - Jerryseinfeld 04:57, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * "With owning it comes of course that the government manage the business (decide who will manage it)". Why does this have to be pointed out? - Jerryseinfeld 04:57, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Move

 * The content from "public ownership" was move here since it belongs here. The arguments against "public" ownership is that it isn't really "public" ownership. Which is shown by the fact governmet bonds are not "public bonds" because the "public" doesn't own or run the government. - Jerryseinfeld 05:53, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * This article is about government owned businesses ("public business"). "public business" used in this way? Really?? In any case, Jerryseinfeld, you seem determined to write an article about how terrible it is for government to own businesses operating in competitive sectors. (You might like to look at Vattenfall.) Fine, do that - you can have "government ownership" as your US-centric sandbox to play in. I will move the "Public ownership" material to public sector and focus on the broader issues. (I have already corrected your absurd redirect of public services to public goods; thanks for spurring me to at least making a start on that article.) Rd232 16:53, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Public services and public good should be merged. - Jerryseinfeld 17:24, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Are you trying to have an edit war? Look at public services and public good and see the difference!! If you're not familiar with public services, fine, maybe it's not a term used in the US. But previous things you said suggest an ignorance of what a public goood is too, which I can find no excuse for. Go to your local library and pick up any introductory economics textbook if you don't believe the Wikipedia definition. You're heading in my estimation from US-centric to uneducated in economics to troll. Please stop this downward slide by showing reasonableness (maybe even knowledge, if that's not too much to ask).

Like a Rock

Like a Rock is the thirteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1986. The title track is best known for being featured in Chevrolet truck commercials throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

Content
"Fortunate Son" is a live cover of the 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival hit, recorded March 31, 1983 at Cobo Hall in Detroit. It was originally available only as the B-side of the "American Storm" single, and was added as a bonus track to the CD release of the album. The vinyl version ends with "Somewhere Tonight". The song "Miami" is featured in an episode of the TV series Miami Vice.

Seger said of "The Ring":"I’ll tell you a song that Don Henley really likes of mine and nobody ever played it on the radio. When I played it for him it knocked him out. It’s a song called "The Ring." I think it’s on my album Like A Rock. It’s a six- minute ballad and it deals with a specific subject matter about a failing marriage out in a rural area and the restlessness that is setting in. The marriage has gone to pot and the ring doesn’t mean anything any more and they’re trying to hold it together. The characters are very sharply drawn. Nobody ever played it on the radio but I love it."

Cash Box said of "It's You" that "This mid-tempo ballad has a mellow country inflection with the customary Seger rock edge." Billboard called it a "subdued mid-tempo song" that "fairly begs for a country cover."

Cash Box called "Miami" a "more relaxed, meldodic outing." Billboard called it a "wistful boogie that contemplates the immigrant's dilemma."

This is the first studio album credited to "Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band" that does not feature the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section replacing the Silver Bullet Band on any tracks.

The album was originally going to be named American Storm after the first track and was going to be released in December 1985, but it was delayed and the name was changed.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Mackeriv

Mackeriv
final (12/1/0) ending 05:05, 25 December 2004 (UTC) Hello. My first edit dates back to 14 Jun 2003 (under the 200.206.212.211 IP address, now attributed to my username), but I "officially" became a Wikipedian somewhere in the beginning of 2004. That makes a bit more than 1100 edits. My editing habits are a little hard to classify, but the thing I do the most are probably standardization of articles. Fixing concordance mistakes, formatting, adapting things, etc. Basically, what we seem to call "clean up" here. I also add content, of course, whenever I feel safe enough of what I'm saying. I also enjoy adding images to articles when I feel they could use one. Since I don't have English as my native language, I sometimes contribute to articles that deal with subjects that are closely related to the Portuguese language, or even Spanish.

I've considered the idea of becoming a sysop some time ago already, though I wasn't very sure, but since I've been here for quite a while, I could as well apply for this. The admin-only features will come in handy. The rollback feature sounds useful, since I've been spotting a good share of vandalism lately. Sure, I can just manually resurrect an older version like I've always done, but this sounds much easier and comfortable. Deletion of images and pages (though I don't know if I'll really need to end up deleting pages) seems handy as well, just like the hability of dealing with user's IPs, if it becomes necessary.

I'm aware I don't have a fancy user page like every sysop does, so it's not like you can find a lot about me there. I just don't feel very inclined for that kind of thing, but that can change one day. Not much on my talk page either. I also know I don't have a whole lot of creations of my own on Wikipedia, but that's because I prefer to improve others' works.

I usually prefer to post on talk pages under the handle "Kaonashi", but that's just a personal decision. You'll know that's me, either way. My IP is fixed and no, I don't run any sock puppets. =]

Thank you all for your attention. – Kaonashi 05:05, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Comments

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. First of all, I'll look forward on helping any user that requires assistance. I'll probably try to spend a little more time checking articles to see if everything is "fine", which I already do to a certain degree. I'll deal with vandalism whenever possible, with warnings and all that. If I find an image that is not linked to articles (maybe orphaned by myself) that is believed to no longer be necessary, I'll also remove it. I also plan to watch over articles I've done some work on, since I'm already familiar with their subject and the way things work on them, but all sysops must do this, I believe.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I have quite a strange selection of articles I've worked on, so it's pretty hard to say what they are. The first one that pops to my mind is probably everything within the Castlevania category. I've added info and standardized all those articles, and I enjoy them. Also, I never stick with a group of articles for too long as if they're my own sons. I'm always keeping an eye out for different things.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
 * A. Yes, I'd say I've got upset a few times with certain things I saw. I most times do state my opinions regarding changes in articles, but I don't take it to the last consequences. A few users have stressed me in the past, but I leave it at that. Whether a consensus is reached or not, I end up tolerating. I think that's the way things work on Wikipedia, so I'm fine with it.

The Fire Inside (Bob Seger album)

The Fire Inside is the fourteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger. The album was released in mid 1991 on the record label, Capitol. It was Seger's first album of entirely new music since Like a Rock in 1986. Though credited to "The Silver Bullet Band", much of the album used guest and session musicians, with limited contributions from Silver Bullet Band members. Among the guest artists on the album are Joe Walsh, Bruce Hornsby, Roy Bittan, Steve Lukather, Don Was, Waddy Wachtel, Rick Vito, Mike Campbell, Patty Smyth, Lisa Germano, and Kenny Aronoff.

On release, The Fire Inside received a mixed critical reception, but was still a commercial success peaking at number 7 on the US Billboard album chart, and achieved Platinum status from the RIAA.

Critical reception
Reviewing for AllMusic, critic Bret Adams wrote of the album "Overall, the 12-track album is a disappointing piecemeal effort with five different production credits, and Seger uses two Tom Waits covers and one other outside song to pad it."

Track listing
"New Coat of Paint" and "The Long Way Home" were left off the album's LP release.

Personnel
As listed in the liner notes.

Hamilton Park (New Haven)

Hamilton Park, also known as Brewster Park and Howard Avenue Grounds, was a sports venue in New Haven, Connecticut, located at the intersection of Whalley Avenue and West Park Avenue.

Hamilton Park hosted Yale University sports competitions in the 19th century. It was the first home field for Yale's football team, used from 1870 until Yale Field was acquired in the 1880s.

The park hosted horse races and was home to the New Haven Elm Citys baseball team of the National Association during the 1875 season. It is considered a major league ballpark by those who count the National Association as a major league as well as by those who recognize isolated games, as the Hartford club hosted one game there in 1877.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is the tenth prime-time animated television special based upon the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It originally aired on the CBS network on November 20, 1973, and won an Emmy Award the following year. It was the third holiday special after A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965 and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown in 1966. Except for the opening football gag, it is the first Peanuts TV special to have a completely original script without relying on the strip.

Synopsis
Charlie Brown is preparing to go to his grandmother's with his family for Thanksgiving dinner when he gets a phone call from Peppermint Patty, who invites herself — and soon after, Marcie and Franklin — to Thanksgiving dinner at the Browns' house, as she has been given permission from her father, who has been called out of town. Linus suggests to a perplexed Charlie Brown that he could have two Thanksgiving dinners: the first at home for himself, Peppermint Patty and the others, then a second at his grandmother's. Since Charlie Brown cannot cook, Linus recruits Snoopy and Woodstock to help; Snoopy sets up a ping pong table and chairs outside. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock and Linus then prepare a feast of toast, pan-fried popcorn, pretzel sticks, jelly beans and ice cream sundaes.

After Peppermint Patty, Marcie and Franklin arrive, Linus leads the group in a prayer that details the First Thanksgiving before Snoopy serves the meal. Peppermint Patty, who expected turkey and other traditional Thanksgiving food, yells at Charlie Brown, who dejectedly leaves the table. Marcie suggests Peppermint Patty was too hard on Charlie Brown and asks whether he invited her or she just invited herself. Peppermint Patty, realizing she was in the wrong, asks Marcie to apologize to Charlie Brown on her behalf (unintentionally paralleling The Courtship of Miles Standish). Marcie reluctantly agrees, but Peppermint Patty soon follows and apologizes to him herself. Realizing that he and Sally are late for the Brown family dinner, Charlie Brown explains the situation over the phone to his grandmother, who invites all his friends to come along for dinner. On the drive over, they sing "Over the River and Through the Woods", but as they finish the song, Charlie Brown says there's one problem with that song: His grandmother lives in a condominium, not a house.

Snoopy and Woodstock go to Snoopy's doghouse and cook their own traditional Thanksgiving meal. They break the wishbone, with Woodstock receiving the larger piece. Over the end credits, the two eat pumpkin pie.

Broadcast history
The special first aired on CBS on Tuesday, November 20, 1973, two days before Thanksgiving. It placed third in the Nielsen ratings for the week, behind All in the Family and Sanford & Son.

The special continued to air every year on CBS (skipping 1982, 1983, and 1988) through Nov. 23, 1989.

The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon returned the special for re-airing in the 1990s (in the latter channel's case, under the "You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown" umbrella of productions) and then, in 2001, it moved, along with the rest of the Peanuts specials, to ABC. In contrast to CBS, ABC aired the special every year through 2019, on several days in the week leading up to Thanksgiving, and it regularly won its time slot. As the special runs slightly over a half-hour with commercials, ABC typically filled the remaining portion of the full hour with other Peanuts programming. From 2008 to 2019, the remaining time was filled by a slightly abridged edit of "The Mayflower Voyagers," the premiere episode of the 1988 miniseries This Is America, Charlie Brown.

Starting in 2020, the special (along with the rest of the Peanuts library) has exclusively aired on Apple TV+; under the terms of the agreement, Apple TV+ must provide a three-day window in November in which the special is available for free. On November 18, 2020 Apple announced they had reached an agreement to air the special on Sunday, November 22, 2020, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, commercial free on PBS and PBS Kids. In accordance with most PBS affiliates' non-commercial educational licenses, the special was presented on PBS unedited without commercial interruption, with only a brief underwriting spot before and after the special: "This special broadcast of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was made possible by Apple." Apple renewed the agreement with PBS in 2021 but did not renew it for 2022.

The special is also broadcast in Canada, usually in early October in line with the Canadian observance of Thanksgiving. The special is aired on Family Channel as of 2018, with the special aired on the day before Thanksgiving and on Thanksgiving Day, which takes place on the second Monday of October in Canada.

Voice actors

 * Todd Barbee as Charlie Brown
 * Peter Robbins as Charlie Brown's screaming voice (archived)
 * Robin Kohn as Lucy van Pelt
 * Stephen Shea as Linus van Pelt
 * Hilary Momberger as Sally Brown
 * Christopher DeFaria as Peppermint Patty
 * Jimmy Ahrens as Marcie
 * Robin Reed as Franklin
 * Bill Melendez as Snoopy and Woodstock

This is the last TV special that uses the same cast from Snoopy Come Home, You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown, and There's No Time for Love, Charlie Brown. In the next television special, Kohn, DeFaria, and Momberger would be succeeded in their respective roles by Melanie Kohn (Robin's younger sister), Donna Forman, and Lynn Mortensen, respectively.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was composed by Vince Guaraldi (except where noted) and conducted and arranged by John Scott Trotter. The score was performed by the Vince Guaraldi Quintet on August 20, 22 and September 4, 1973, at Wally Heider Studios, featuring Tom Harrell (trumpet), Chuck Bennett (trombone), Seward McCain (electric bass) and Mike Clark (drums).

The special was released in a 40th anniversary deluxe edition DVD by Warner Home Video with the same features from previous editions on October 1, 2013. The deluxe edition DVD also features "The Mayflower Voyagers". The special was released on Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 24, 2017.

Work In Progress

Please don't edit this page. I'm just thinking out loud here. Comments on the talk page are welcome.

Getting a Dog
Getting a dog is a long-term commitment, not to be undertaken lightly. Dogs frequently live for fifteen or more years, and for the life of the dog, he is your responsibility. You are responsible not only for his physical care--food, water, shelter, health, exercise--but also for his mental development and social life. Dogs are social animals; a dog must belong to a pack. When you keep a dog, your family is the dog's pack. So when you acquire a dog, you are committing to making the dog a constant companion for as much as twenty years. If you are unwilling to make this commitment, perhaps you should reconsider getting a dog. Cats are more solitary animals and do not require constant companionship.

In light of the impact a dog will have on your life, it is wise to choose a dog carefully. Dogs' mental and physical characteristics probably vary more than any other species. Although individuals within a breed can vary greatly, the breed of a dog can tell you a great deal about him. Each breed was developed for a particular purpose. Althought few breeds are still used for their original purpose, individuals of each breed still have many of the mental and physical characteristics that suited the breed to its original purpose. Equally what has happened to a breed in recent years can have a dramatic impact on the typical member of the breed. Just because a breed had a certain trait twenty years ago doesn't mean that trait is common in the breed today.

For example, if you are very active socially, with a large circle of friends that visit your house, you might not want a dog from a guarding breed. For thousands of years guarding breeds were selected to be suspicious of strangers. A highly suspicious dog would not be happy with your social lifestyle. On the flip side, suppose you are concerned about crime in your area. A guarding breed might be a good place to start looking, but you shouldn't assume that all guarding breeds are equally suitable. Some guarding breeds have been bred as pets for many generations and it might be hard to find an individual that retains all of the protective qualities you want. For example you might get a dog that is suspicious but that runs away rather than barking.

The important point is that the work a breed was created to do can tell you a lot about the individual dogs, but it doesn't tell you everything.

CFB Shilo

Canadian Forces Base Shilo (CFB Shilo; Base des Forces canadiennes Shilo — BFC Shilo) is an operations and training base of the Canadian Armed Forces, located 35 km east of Brandon, Manitoba and adjacent to Sprucewoods. During the 1990s, Canadian Forces Base Shilo was also designated as an Area Support Unit, which acts as a local base of operations for south-west Manitoba in times of military and civil emergency.

It is located at the very south-west corner of the Municipality of North Cypress – Langford, and the very northwest corner of the Municipality of Glenboro – South Cypress. Additionally, it lies adjacent to the eastern border of the Rural Municipality of Cornwallis. The base has an 18-hole golf course, which hosts numerous military and civilian golf events.

History and demographics
CFB Shilo has been a training facility for the Canadian Army since 1910, and saw an increase in its use as a training facility following the outbreak of World War I. The base is also home to the Royal Canadian Artillery Museum and many artillery pieces are on display including a cannon used at the North-West Rebellion.

The principal purpose of this base is for training in artillery and munitions, activities audibly recognized, though not begrudged, by generations of nearby residents. In 1942, training of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion was transferred here from Fort Benning, Georgia and RAF Ringway in the United Kingdom. The existence of the base has enhanced the economic stability of the surrounding area through contracted employment with the Department of National Defence, and provision of off-base services to staff and trainees. CFB Shilo provides employment for approximately 1,400 military personnel, as well as an additional estimated 450 civilian personnel. The base is located within the federal electoral district of Brandon—Souris.

Geographic/geological significance
The landscape in this area is particularly well suited to these operations. The rolling hills are well suited to hidden target firing drills. Soil compositions of loose sand/gravel aggregates are also ideal for artillery and munitions training. The lack of surface bedrock outcropping greatly reduces the chances of hazardous ricochets during live-fire exercises and also assists in the safe retrieval and secure disposal of both detonated and un-detonated ordnance.

Units
CFB Shilo is the home to the following operational units:

 * 1st Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery
 * 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry

It hosts the following detachments supporting 3rd Canadian Division:

 * 3rd Canadian Division Training Centre, "C" Company Shilo
 * 1 Military Police Regiment, detachment Shilo.
 * 11 CF Health Services Centre
 * 3rd Canadian Division Support Group Signal Squadron, detachment Shilo

External connections/partnerships
Throughout the years both Regular Forces and Primary Reserve troops have trained at CFB Shilo. Troops from other countries, such as Germany, France, Denmark and the United States, have used the area for training. In particular the German Army Training Establishment Shilo has, from 1974 to 2000, trained in excess of 140,000 troops.

CFB Shilo has also seen use by Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers and employees of the Manitoba Department of Corrections.

Transportation

The base is 8 km south of the Trans-Canada Highway on PR 340. There were two heliports associated with the base. Shilo Heliport was located on the base while Shilo (Flewin Field), was located 1.1 NM south at |49.78083°N, -99.63889°W.

Royal Canadian Artillery Museum
The Royal Canadian Artillery Museum is the only museum in the world that explores the history of Canadian gunners who served Canada since 1855. Established in 1962 at CFB Shilo and provides a national portrait of Canadian gunnery. It includes more than 65,000 artifacts, including more than 150 artillery pieces and vehicles.

Financial information
CFB Shilo expends $105 million yearly in salaries and purchases, has 1,350 military people and employs 350 civilians. Having a population of 1,700 people

Janata Dal (Secular)

The Janata Dal (Secular) (abbr. JD(S)) is an Indian regional political party recognised as a state party in the Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala and Arunachal Pradesh. It was founded by the former prime minister of India H. D. Deve Gowda in July 1999 as a breakaway faction from the Janata Dal.

History
The Janata Dal (Secular), formed in 1999, had its origins in the Janata Party, founded in 1977 as a coalition of several smaller parties that combined forces to oppose the Indian National Congress. In 1988 the Janata Party and other smaller parties merged to form the Janata Dal. In 1996, Janata Dal reached its pinnacle when H. D. Deve Gowda became Prime Minister of India, heading the United Front (UF) coalition government.

The Janata Dal split in 1999, when a faction led by Chief Minister J. H. Patel lent support to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance leading to the formation of Janata Dal (Secular) under H. D. Deve Gowda and Siddaramaiah. The Sharad Yadav faction of the Janata Dal, the Lok Shakti and the Samata Party merged as the Janata Dal (United). Even though the premise for the split was its opposition to allying with the National Democratic Alliance, H. D. Deve Gowda stayed equally away from the Indian National Congress from the outset.

The 2004 Karnataka Assembly election witnessed the revival of the party's fortunes with JD(S) becoming part of the ruling coalition in the state.

On 14 April 2015, the JD(S), Janata Dal (United), Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Indian National Lok Dal, Samajwadi Party, and Samajwadi Janata Party (Rashtriya) announced that they would merge into a new national Janata Parivar alliance in order to oppose the BJP, thus leaving the UPA. It has a political presence mainly in Karnataka and is in decline. In September 2023, JD(S) joined the BJP controlled National Democratic Alliance. In Kerala, the party had a small state unit which is part of the state government coalition, the Left Democratic Front. The state unit has refused to be part of the right wing NDA and are in rebellion against their national leadership for having joined hands with the BJP.

Colin Lane

Colin Stuart Lane (born 25 March 1965) is an Australian comedian, actor and TV host, best known for being one-half of comedy duo Lano and Woodley.

Lano and Woodley
Lane performed with fellow comedian Frank Woodley as part of the duo Lano and Woodley for a period of almost 20 years. The two met through theatresports in the mid-1980s and first performed together at an open mike night at the Prince Patrick Hotel in Collingwood, Victoria, in 1987 along with their friend Scott Casley, calling themselves the Found Objects.

Over the next six years, the trio performed in venues throughout Australia and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. They became semi-regulars on ABC TV's The Big Gig, a show known for boosting the careers of new comedy acts, had their own commercial radio show for six months and were part of the short-lived Seven Network sketch show The Comedy Sale. When in 1992 Casley moved away to Alice Springs, Woodley and Lane decided to continue as a duo, drawing their name from childhood nicknames.

As Lano and Woodley, the two adopt humorous onstage personas, with Woodley playing a "goofy innocent" who is frequently bullied by Lane's pompous, controlling character. Their first show as a comedy duo, "Fence", debuted in 1993. It toured throughout Australia, winning the Moosehead Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for best act and was eventually taken the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1994, where it won the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award. Subsequent live productions have included "Curtains", "Glitzy", "Slick", "Bruiser", "The Island" and their 2006 farewell show, "Goodbye" which won the 2006 Helpmann Award for Best Comedy. In 2000, they co-hosted the televised Melbourne Comedy Gala.

Woodley and Lane have created two television shows together. The Adventures of Lano and Woodley, which premiered on the ABC in 1997, was a comedy series which featured the duo living together in a fictional suburban Melbourne flat and frequently getting into trouble. It aired for two seasons, airing in 38 other countries. Although they were offered the opportunity to make the series in England, the pair decided to remain in Australia because they did not want to live in London. In 2004 their live show, The Island, was filmed as a TV special and aired on The Comedy Channel. The duo have also released an album, Lano & Woodley Sing Songs, and a novel, Housemeeting.

In 2006, after close to 20 years of working together, Woodley and Lane decided to part ways. Woodley states the split was due to a desire to pursue new challenges. "We just got to the stage where we felt we had to make a decision," he says. "Either we were going to spend the next 20 years doing this, this'd be our career, our lives forever. And that wouldn't have been a terrible thing. Or we could go, 'Let's have a bit more variety in our lives'." In one final tour, the duo travelled through 37 Australian cities with their farewell show, "Goodbye".

In 2016, Colin reunited with Frank Woodley for a surprise performance as part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival's 30th Birthday Bash.

In 2018, the duo reprised their roles as Lano and Woodley for FLY, a show which won the 2018 Melbourne Comedy Festival People's Choice Award.

Solo work
Since Lano and Woodley's farewell tour, Lane has appeared in Don's Party for the Melbourne Theatre Company, followed by a season with the Sydney Theatre Company. In 2008, he was cast as Pooh-Bah in Essgee Productions' The Mikado.

Lane wrote and performed a solo cabaret show, I'm Not Sure About the Music, about a man who loses the music and finds it again. He performed it in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2009 and again for a limited return season in 2010.

He has made numerous appearances on Australian television, having had guest appearances on Good News Week, Spicks and Specks, Welcher & Welcher, Thank God You're Here, Neighbours, All Star Family Feud and Show Me the Movie!. He has also been a presenter for two Nine Network shows, Wine Me, Dine Me and Kings of Comedy. His film credits include Jimeoin's 2005 movie The Extra, in which he played a movie extra, Danny, and the short film White Lines.

In 2011, Lane was a fill in host on The Circle for both Gorgi Coghlan (early 2011) and Chrissie Swan (late 2011) while they both took maternity leave. Also in 2011, it was announced that Lane would host Ready Steady Cook replacing Peter Everett from June that year.

In 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2020 Lane appeared as a panellist on the UK comedy show QI. He also made an appearance on Channel 7's SlideShow. In November 2014, he appeared as a late replacement on the inaugural cruise of the Australian performing arts on the MS Radiance of the Seas along with, among others, Cheryl Barker, David Hobson, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Simon Tedeschi, Elaine Paige, Marina Prior, and Jonathon Welch. With David Hobson, he appeared since 2016 at various festivals in the show "In Tails – A Comedian and an Opera Singer's Worlds Collide" which also toured Australia.

Frank Woodley

Frank Woodley ( Wood; born 29 February 1968 ) is an Australian comedian, author and musician who is best known for his work alongside Colin Lane as part of the comedic duo Lano and Woodley. The two first performed together for almost 20 years in live shows, a television series and an album of comedic songs, before deciding to pursue individual careers in 2006. They announced their reformation in November 2017.

Personal life
Woodley was born Frank Wood, the youngest of seven children. He grew up in suburban Melbourne, where his family ran a milk bar in Glen Waverley. He adopted the stage name "Frank Woodley"—drawn from a childhood nickname—when he began performing as part of the comedy duo Lano and Woodley in 1993. In 2000 he changed his name by deed poll to avoid confusion.

Woodley is married with a son and daughter and lives in Melbourne's inner north.

Lano and Woodley
Woodley first performed with fellow comedian Colin Lane as part of the duo Lano and Woodley for a period of almost 20 years. The two met through theatresports in the mid-1980s and first performed together at an open mike night at the Prince Patrick Hotel in Collingwood, Victoria, in 1987 along with their friend Scott Casley, calling themselves the Found Objects.

Woodley and Lane have created two television shows together. The Adventures of Lano and Woodley, which premiered on the ABC in 1997, was a comedy series which featured the duo living together in a fictional suburban Melbourne flat and frequently getting into trouble. It aired for two seasons, becoming the first Australian show to be sold to the BBC and airing in 38 other countries. Although they were offered the opportunity to make the series in England, the pair decided to remain in Australia because they did not want to live in London. In 2004 a live show, The Island, was filmed as a TV special and aired on The Comedy Channel. The duo have also released an album, Lano & Woodley Sing Songs, and a novel, Housemeeting.

In 2018, the duo reprised their roles as Lano and Woodley for a show titled Fly which won the 2018 Melbourne Comedy Festival People’s Choice Award.

Solo work
Woodley made his solo debut in 2003 at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with The Happy Dickwi, a show about "a whole lot of unrelated ideas". He has since performed a number of solo stand-up shows, and in 2008 debuted a one-man play entitled Possessed. Directed by Kate Denborough and featuring music from Paul Mac, Possessed is the story of Louie, a lonely recluse who falls in love with, and becomes possessed by, the ghost of a 19th-century shipwreck victim. Woodley says that the show came out of the desire to do a big solo show and his interest in doing a romantic comedy: "So I was thinking that maybe I could do a solo romantic comedy where I fell in love with myself. Although it was just a stupid joke initially, I started thinking about having a ghost possess me and then I fall in love with the ghost. I have to help free her from the curse she's under." The show has toured both nationally and internationally, and draws inspiration from Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Don Adams, Peter Sellers, Jerry Lewis and Laurel and Hardy.

Woodley played a television vet named "Frank Woodley" in the twelfth episode of the 1998 Australia television series The Games.

Woodley has made regular guest appearances on Australian television, including Spicks and Specks, Good News Week, Thank God You're Here, The Sideshow, Big Question, Rove Live, Australia's Brainiest Comedian and Show Me the Movie!. In 2008, he appeared in a series of television advertisements for Metlink promoting public transport in Melbourne, in particular buses.

In 2007, Woodley performed in the stage show The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), a 97-minute production which encompasses 37 Shakespearian plays.

From 2008 to 2009, Woodley co-hosted a show on The Comedy Channel called Aussie Gold every Saturday night.

In 2012, Woodley had a small role in the Australian comedy film Kath & Kimderella. In 2015, he co-starred as the dogcatcher in Oddball.

Aside from being a comedian, Woodley is also a children's author and has written a series of children's books called Kizmet.

In 2020, Woodley participated in the first Australian season of the Amazon Prime comedy competition series LOL: Last One Laughing, going on to win the grand prize.

In 2022, Woodley was appointed as one of the team captains in Would I Lie to You? Australia alongside Chris Taylor.

In 2023, Woodley had a small role as a fertility specialist in the Australian drama comedy Love Me.

Woodley
A television project entitled Woodley screened in 2012. It is a half-hour visual comedy about a largely innocent-seeming man who is caught up in real-world problems. The series follows his attempts to bond with his daughter and his estranged wife (Justine Clarke), though this proves difficult for the accident-prone Woodley, as she tries to move forward with her life with her new partner Greg. The show was announced with a number of other projects in a $1.2 million funding from the Victorian government. The show premiered on Wednesday 22 February at 8.00pm on ABC1. The show is built around an extensive use of visual (often slapstick) humour, rather than dialogue, although this is also used sparingly.

League Park (Toledo)

League Park is a former baseball ground located in Toledo, Ohio, US. The ground was home to the Toledo Blue Stockings baseball club of the then-major American Association from May 14, 1884, to September 23, 1884. The club also played minor league games here in 1883 and 1885.

The ballpark was located on a block bounded by Monroe Street (southwest), 15th Street (northwest), Jefferson Avenue (northeast), and 13th Street (southeast), a few blocks northwest of the site of the current Fifth Third Field.

This was the home field in 1884 for Moses Fleetwood Walker, the best-known of the black American major league ballplayers in the 19th century prior to the color line being drawn.

It's a Mystery

It's a Mystery is the fifteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1995 (see 1995 in music). As with his prior album, it is credited to the Silver Bullet Band, though many of the tracks feature a wide array of session musicians and the members of the Silver Bullet Band itself only make limited contributions to the album.

Despite hit singles and fan favorites such as "Lock and Load," "Manhattan," and "Hands in the Air," the album charted at No. 27 on the Billboard charts. This was Seger's lowest chart position since 1976's Live Bullet which charted at No. 34 on the Billboard 200.

It's a Mystery was Seger's last album before taking a hiatus from the music industry to be with his family. He would return in 2006 with the album Face the Promise.

Talk:2003 Quebec general election

Untitled
Anybody please edit this page, this is done from such a HUGE seperatist perspective that its disgusting. Nothing about Bernard Landry's blunders during the campaign, nothing about the PQ's cut backs or the loss in interest and support for seperation or another referendum among the people of Quebec. It's like reading the PQ's official view of what happened.

 * I concur, although I think it is not as bad as it used to be. I have done a thorough copyedit to make it sound more English - the original was clearly written by a francophone. While the article is very extensive and a great contribution, it needed copyeidting. It still needs NPOVing and perhaps more content from someone who knows more about the election than I do. Kevintoronto 14:40, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

My major problem is the HUGE sovereingtist spin that this article was written from. It makes it look like Jean Charest was elected by default, it ignores the unpopular policies and cut backs of the PQ when they were in office and the unpopularity (before the sponsorship scandal broke anyway) of a referendum and the sovereignty option. Every paragraph in this article is biased, if possible I think that a disclaimer should be put up alerting readers that this article is not nuetral in any way.

I'll give it a spin, make it more readable. Habsfannova 06:32, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Also, apart from the elction results, there is a complete lack of sources. Patrick 5 June 2012 (UTC).

PQ Leader
Someone put down that André Boisclair lead the PQ in this election, when in fact it was Bernard Landry who lead the PQ in the 2003 election. André Boisclair didn't take over the party until 2005.

Image:Parti libéral du Québec 2003 logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Isn't this a vanity article? I don't think many people have heard of this girl, the article is short, not very interesting and not really linked to.--211.29.198.148 05:33, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I agree, but I doubt that will hold much weight as we seem to have been allocated the same static IP, albeit a year and a half apart. --211.29.198.148 07:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * agreeing. she was on the US national team but never did an Olympics or a Worlds, and I notice they're frequently pulling vanity adds out of the article. If there's interest I'll put it up as an AfD, or someone else can. Mademoiselle Sabina 15:11, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Cold Sunday

"Cold Sunday" was a meteorological event which took place on January 17, 1982, when unprecedentedly cold air swept down from Canada and plunged temperatures across much of the United States far below existing all-time record lows.

The phenomenon was caused by an unusually strong high pressure system over Saskatchewan with a core pressure of 1055mb (31.15 inHg), a level rarely seen outside of permanent polar areas such as Siberia and Antarctica. A recent snowfall had left the ground without any way to hold on to its heat and temperatures dropped precipitously. This mass of cold air was so strong that the temperature at Mequon, Wisconsin, dropped to −40 °F (−40 °C); the previous record was −28 °F (−33 °C) and temperatures below −20 °F (−29 °C) had been felt there only six times in the previous 100 years. The lowest temperature recorded that day in the United States was −52 °F (−47 °C), measured near Tower, Minnesota.

Below is a partial list of cities which set all-time record low temperatures in the United States. This is only a small fraction of all locales setting record low temperatures: Hundreds of towns and cities from North Dakota to New Jersey to Mississippi broke records, and the vast majority of the records set on "Cold Sunday" still stand, as of 2024. The cold was not confined to the night, either. In Princeton, New Jersey, and Cincinnati, Ohio, the daytime high temperatures were 2 °F (−17 °C) and −9 °F (−23 °C). The average high temperature in January is 39 °F (4 °C) in both cities.

Temperatures

 * International Falls, Minnesota: −45 °F (−43 °C)
 * Saint Cloud, Minnesota: −35 °F (−37 °C)
 * Madison, Wisconsin: −31 °F (−35 °C)
 * Green Bay, Wisconsin: −28 °F (−33 °C)
 * Milwaukee, Wisconsin: −26 °F (−32 °C)
 * Chicago, Illinois: −25 °F (−32 °C)
 * Moline, Illinois: −23 °F (−31 °C)
 * Peoria, Illinois: −23 °F (−31 °C)
 * Akron, Ohio: −22 °F (−30 °C)
 * Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: −18 °F (−28 °C)
 * Cleveland, Ohio: −17 °F (−27 °C)
 * Jackson, Mississippi: −5 °F (−21 °C)
 * Washington, D.C.: −5 °F (−21 °C)
 * Birmingham, Alabama: −2 °F (−19 °C)
