Steve Landesberg

Stephen Landesberg (November 23, 1936 – December 20, 2010) was an American actor and comedian known for his role as the erudite, unflappable police detective Arthur P. Dietrich on the ABC sitcom Barney Miller, for which he was nominated for three Emmy Awards.

Life and career
Landesberg was born on November 23, 1936, in the Bronx, New York, to Ann Landesberg, a milliner, and Abraham Landesberg, a grocery store owner. He was Jewish. He was part of improv group New York Stickball Team, which performed several shows that aired on cable television shortly after Barney Miller went off the air.

Landesberg was a member of the cast of the 1974 CBS situation comedy Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers. He made guest appearances on The Tonight Show, The Rockford Files, Law & Order, Saturday Night Live, The Golden Girls, Ghost Whisperer, That '70s Show and Everybody Hates Chris. He starred in Starz's original show Head Case as Dr. Myron Finkelstein. He appeared in the motion pictures Wild Hogs, Leader of the Band, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He appeared in 124 episodes of Barney Miller as Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich, starting from the last episode of the 1975 season until the end of the series in 1982.

Landesberg also co-starred in the TV pilot Black Bart, a spin-off of Blazing Saddles. He attempted a comeback to television playing a public defender in Seattle in an unsold sitcom pilot, The Best Defense, later aired on June 19, 1995, on ABC.

In the mid-1980s, Landesberg was the spokesman in TV and print advertisements for Northwestern Bell's long-distance telephone services. He also was a TV spokesman for AAMCO Transmissions in the 1980s and early 1990s, for Canadian Airlines in 1990, and for Office Depot in the 1990s.

He and his wife, Nancy Ross Landesberg, had a daughter, Elizabeth.

Death
Landesberg died from colon cancer on December 20, 2010, aged 74. He was cremated.

Age
Throughout his career, Landesberg was noncommittal about his age and year of birth. At the time of his death, many news outlets mistakenly reported his age as 65; some never corrected that story. In acknowledging that he was actually nine years older than he had long claimed, his daughter Elizabeth said he had provided varying birth dates over the years. "He got kind of a late start in show business," she explained, "so he tried to straddle the generations. He fooled the whole world. People were surprised to think he was even 65." Landesberg commented on the issue in a 1979 Washington Post profile for which he refused to give his age:

Let's just say I started late. It hurts you with casting directors... If you tell them your age–let's say you're middle-aged–and they've never heard of you, they figure you're no good, or else they would've heard of you already. I tell my friends not to tell their ages.

Talk:KVM

There's a type of JVM (Java Virtual Machine) that's called KVM, for k-byte JVM. Due to severe limitations in scope a KVM's size can be measured in k-bytes, and not in the usual megabytes for a common JVM.

So, i think there should be a KVM entry. I'll try to write one myself when i have enough information. If someone is able to do it before, please by all means do it.

Regards, --Hgfernan 20:16, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC) KVM also stands for Kilo Volt Meter.

Processed meat

Processed meat is considered to be any meat that has been modified in order to either improve its taste or to extend its shelf life. Methods of meat processing include salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, boiling, frying, and/or the addition of chemical preservatives. Processed meat is usually composed of pork or beef or, less frequently, poultry. It can also contain offal or meat by-products such as blood. Processed meat products include bacon, ham, sausages, salami, corned beef, jerky, hot dogs, lunch meat, canned meat, chicken nuggets, and meat-based sauces. Meat processing includes all the processes that change fresh meat with the exception of simple mechanical processes such as cutting, grinding or mixing.

Meat processing began as soon as people realized that cooking and salting prolongs the life of fresh meat. It is not known when this took place; however, the process of salting and sun-drying was recorded in Ancient Egypt, while using ice and snow is credited to early Romans, and canning was developed by Nicolas Appert who in 1810 received a prize for his invention from the French government. Medical health organizations advise people to limit processed meat consumption as it increases risk of colorectal cancer.

Preservatives

Nitrate and sodium nitrite found in processed meats can be converted by the human body into nitrosamines that can be carcinogenic, causing mutation in the colorectal cell line, thereby causing tumorigenesis and eventually leading to cancer. Processed meat is more carcinogenic compared to unprocessed red meat because of the abundance of potent nitrosyl-heme molecules that form N-nitroso compounds.

A principal concern about sodium nitrite is Nitrosation/nitrosylation, the formation of carcinogenic nitroso-compounds in meats containing sodium nitrite or potassium nitrate, especially nitrosyl-haem (nitrosyl heme). In addition to nitrosyl-haem, carcinogenic nitrosamines can be formed from the reaction of nitrite with secondary amines under acidic conditions (such as occurs in the human stomach) as well as during the curing process used to preserve meats.

Nitrate and nitrite are consumed from plant foods as well as animal foods, with 80% of a typical person's nitrate consumption coming from vegetables, especially leafy and root vegetables such as spinach and beets. Some nitrate is converted to nitrite in the human body. Nitrate and nitrite are classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and are not directly carcinogenic. Yet, when nitrate or nitrite interact with certain components in meat, such as heme iron, amines, and amides, they can form nitroso compounds, which may contribute to the association between consumption of processed meats and higher incidence of colorectal cancer.

Health effects
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies processed meat as Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans), because the IARC has found sufficient evidence that consumption of processed meat by humans causes colorectal cancer.

A 2016 report by the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund found that processed meat consumption also increases the risk of stomach cancer.

In 2020, the American Cancer Society stated that "it is not known if there is a safe level of consumption for either red or processed meats. In the absence of such knowledge, while recognizing that the amount of increased risk isn't certain, the ACS recommends choosing protein foods such as fish, poultry, and beans more often than red meat, and for people who eat processed meat products to do so sparingly, if at all."

Reviews of cohort studies have found that processed meat consumption is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, gastric cancer and stroke. A 2023 review found that processed red meat consumption increases risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Talk:Elvis impersonator

Current Edit and Comments
I have just completed a new look article in conjunction with Etf which re-structured the information in the old Elvis impersonator article to try and produce a much clearer, more informative and easier to read article.

The reason for doing this was mainly to do with the clarity of the old article which was starting to get lost under the snippets of information that have been slowly tacked onto the article over time. We tried to be as fair as possible and used current wikipedia rules to govern the article.

Hopefully you find the new article an improvement over the last version and hope to encourage its continued improvement. --Legoman and Etf 6 February 2006 16:25 (UTC)

Edits by OneFortyOne

 * All these edits are well-sourced and mainly based on academic studies by university professors such as David Wall, Marjorie Garber, and others. They should not be removed. Onefortyone 00:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm of the opinion that its best to keep things simple, ie. KISS principle, this is far better than over complicating what is a fairly good article with some poorly thought out (but referenced) additions.  Looking at your previous edits on Elvis Presley and the fact you have caused many problems on this article, see,  Requests_for_arbitration/Onefortyone for an example.  I hope you have not moved over to a lesser article to avoid detection and cause further problems.  Lets add some real value, not just content.  I dont think anyone really wants to see this article degenerate into another Soap box for your points of view. Legoman 11:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * My edits are certainly improving the article, as they are based on academic studies. The Wikipedia article should present a balanced view of Elvis impersonation, not just what Elvis fans would like to read. Onefortyone 21:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Surely you can see that most of your edits are less than balanced when you apply NPOV (See "Undue weight"), there are many traits that Elvis Impersonators use in order to carry out an impersonation, sexual identity would be considered a fringe element, rather than representative of what the majority of Elvis impersonators use for impersonation. Like it or not, the majority of impersonators whether Elvis or otherwise are professional people and I find it odd that you feel the need for the article to require large sections about fringe elements such as cross dressing, cults and people who use sexual identity for impersonation, especially when it is such a trivial trait in an impersonator?  Are you going to start adding sections about cross dressing in Police Officer, I doubt it, maybe singer for example, as I am sure theres at least the odd cross dressing singer out there?  A good reason for not doing so is that Notability and relevence come into play, again this also applies to references too.  Maybe you should re-examine why you have decided to contribute to this article, is it to further your strange obsession in subverting articles so they conform to *your* opinions on sexuality and sexual identity, or is it to help improve a wikipedia article?  Looking at your past and present edit history and behaviour so far on this and other articles, I begin to wonder if history is not repeating itself...  Let use some of the wikipedia guidelines to provide a workable article.   What do other fellow Wikipedians think?? Legoman 11:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Tried to use Notability and NPOV to craft the article into a more workable solution (in good faith, regardless of what accusations are being thrown about at Administrators noticeboard). I fail to see why things cant be discussed here to work toward an amicable solution rather than being petty about things.  Here is an edit summary of some of my recent changes, a correction of Andy Kaufman entry so it is in context to the section.  Andy is maybe one of the first notable Elvis impersonators documented, so why change this, is there any more documented *notable* impersonators before this time?  Another edit, why over complicate, what can be said simply?  Why is there an insistence on concentrating on fringe elements of impersonation rather than the main elements?  Lets keep things to the point, in perspective and representative of the subject and the size of article.  Another edit, a huge amount of text about Elvis Herselvis (above) which Onefortyone created, NPOV comes into play and may explain the strong sexual identity and negative aspects of some of the recent edits.  As for the text above, surely it would make sense for this to be in *that* article and not this one?  Also, does it require its own section for one event in 1996, about one impersonator, back to Notability again?  Cults, no idea why this is even mentioned, back to Notability again?  Section on crossdressing, just because its mentioned in a paper, doesnt mean it is relevant or representative of the subject, maybe to cross dressing but not here, back to Notability again?  Lets see what happens, are we going to get another revert/cut and paste without further work, consideration or discussion here first?  Legoman 12:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Would you please cite relevant sources which say that "there are many traits that Elvis Impersonators use in order to carry out an impersonation" and that cross dressing and the impersonators' "sexual identity would be considered a fringe element," as you claim. Most university studies I have consulted say otherwise. Furthermore, which source says that the majority of Elvis impersonators are professional people? The Elvis Herselvis case is certainly an important example of banning the performance of a notable impersonator from an International Elvis Presley Conference by the conservative sponsors of Elvis Presley Enterprises. As for Andy Kaufman, I have now added some details. Onefortyone 01:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Please state the cold hard statistics on what these so called expert studies were based on? As far as I can see they are just opinion, just because they are "academic" it doesnt mean they are based on fact or correct.  No matter how many "quatations" you stick into the article to support what seems to be *your* bias on sexuality and gender issues of Elvis impersonators, how about some figures to support your edits (from several large professional Elvis impersonator Registries or failing that, check the numbers and statistics from the lists mentioned in the External Links section of the article)?  Are you sure that your own opinion is not clouding a Neutral point of view (Again see the "Undue weight" section and more importantly the part about Flat Earth theory)?  As for relevant sources which say that "there are many traits that Elvis Impersonators use in order to carry out an impersonation" how about common sense?  The prime purpose of Elvis impersonation is to produce a representation of Elvis, since when has sexuality and sexual identity been one of Elvis' key attributes, surely he was a pop icon and is remembered for his music and how he looked?  Also why do you insist that a huge amount of text about Elvis Herselvis be added here and deserve its own section, shouldn't it be in Elvis Herselvis and not this one? Legoman 14:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Sorry, Legoman, according to the Wikipedia guidelines and in order to avoid personal research, all contributions to a Wikipedia article should be well sourced and, if possible, supported by several independent publications (books, articles, university studies, etc.). As far as I can see, I am the only contributor who frequently quotes from reliable sources, among them academic publications by experts on Elvis impersonation, such as Eric Lott and others. As a compromise, I have now rewritten the "Controversies" section, removing a good deal of the material from the Elvis impersonator page and moving it to the Elvis Herselvis article, as you suggested. As for Elvis, he certainly was a sex symbol, and according to many university studies, several Elvis impersonation acts focus on his sexual identity as a key attribute. From Neutral point of view: "Wikipedia aims to present competing views in proportion to their representation among experts on the subject, or among the concerned parties. ... Disagreements over whether something is approached the Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) way can usually be avoided through the practice of good research. ... A good way to build a neutral point of view is to find a reputable source for the piece of information you want to add to Wikipedia, and then cite that source. This is an easy way to characterize a side of a debate without excluding that the debate has other sides. The trick is to find the best and most reputable sources you can. Try the library for good books and journal articles, and look for the most reliable online resources. A little bit of ground work can save a lot of time in trying to justify a point later." This is what I did. I have cited several independent sources, among them university studies by experts on the subject. These are certainly the best sources available. If you have any sources contradicting these academic studies you may also cite them. But as far as I can see, there are no such sources. Onefortyone 15:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You may think it is personal, but it isnt. I'm interested in keeping the article based on a Neutral point of view and representative.  Just because we dont see eye to eye there is no need to go running to the administrators (see Administrators noticeboard) to get your own way with edits, its little bit like going to mom when you dont get your own way.  Lets try to be adult and keep the discussions here where they belong.  Its nobodys article and is not a "war" as you put it.  Rather strangely enough this little intelectual exchange of views is actually helping to craft a far better article IMHO, but hey, thats just an opinion.  Keeping a Neutral point of view is difficult especially if you are very emotive about the subject which you make edits on, you seemed to have issues with this in the past (see, Requests_for_arbitration/Onefortyone), maybe this is a good thing and shows that you "care".  Its worth taking a look at the external links again to see if *your* views are representative of the Elvis impersonators lists there, as you have no other statistical information to go off this is a good a place as any.  Using common sense, I've had a quick look and although not very "academic" I cant see many minority Elvis impersonators (although there are some).  We can all present studies, quotations and opinions but you must ask yourself if the material you are adding is of a wide enough range and quality to be balanced an representative.  On articles about race or any other matter where there is difference of opinion, is it fair to give "Undue weight"  to views from just one side and not the other, I think not, as Neutral point of view comes into play!  Why does this not apply here?  Also we now have a quotes sections, lets keep quotations here for clarity and lets keep it Neutral point of view ie. a balance of good and bad (which you seem to be expert in).  Legoman 17:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You have deleted material that is certainly improving the article along the lines of academic achievement. What you have repeatedly done is not a Neutral Point of View. The publications I have cited are peer-reviewed studies written by university professors and certainly the best sources available. The views of these many independent scholars are certainly representative, as they are analysing the phenomenon of Elvis impersonation from historical, sociological, psychological and gender points of view. There are clearly many works from many authors and many statements from many experts which tend to support my contributions to the article. With that many clearly basic sources, the material I have used is undoubtedly in the majority, and therefore it must be included in the article. I invite you to find and place published sources which tend to refute the research done by the experts I have cited. The problem seems to be that this material is not in line with your personal view of Elvis impersonation. Furthermore, you and your supposed sockpuppet Dr Onion are clearly showing evidence of misunderstanding of Neutral point of view, as you two have repeatedly removed sourced academic points of views. If you are of the opinion that personal websites created by Elvis impersonators or their managers are the most important sources, then we disagree. According to the Wikipedia guidelines, the most reliable sources are published books and journals, particularly books and journals published by university presses; mainstream newspapers; and books, magazines and journals published by known publishing houses. Material that is self-published, whether on paper or online, is generally not regarded as reliable enough. Onefortyone 01:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The meterial you've added although "academic" is *unfortately* not at all representative of the subject, is not balanced and hardly representative of the majority of all impersonators across the world (to some fringe Elvis impersonators maybe). Lets use common sense instead of radical fringe views from academics about minorities, sexual preference and geneder issues.  Once again hardly key attributes in impersonation, again shouldnt it be about music and likeness... but I see this point is wasted bacause of the bias.  Its funny how the majority of your edits on the subject are mostly regarding negativity, gender and sexuality from the same selection of fringe academic studies and does not balance out any other way.  You continually complain rather than try to work with people, and I frankly find it hard to assume good faith when you are subverting this article into something of a soap box for sexual preference and geneder issues when its simply about elvis impersontors?  I can see we are back to mud slinging and accusations, why do you take it so personally when someone edits your work, might be worth taking a look at WP:OWN "You cannot stop everyone in the world from editing "your" stuff, once you have posted it to Wikipedia.".  I have tried to use Resolving_disputes, avoidance, using the talk page and plenty of comments to explain edits, now I am going to Disengage for a while on this article and to see what happens.  It would be nice for other Wikipedians to get involved (not mom, but I am sure she will be watching) but as this is a comparitively small article in comparision with others it may be a long wait?  What do other wikipedians think? Legoman 07:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The material I have added is certainly representative as it is supported by many independent sources written by experts in the field. You may feel free to add further information on music and likeness. As many people, if not the majority in today's world, are of the opinion that Elvis impersonation is a ridiculous cultural phenomenon (The Book With No Name says that "A lot of people think Elvis impersonators look ridiculous"; James Swain, in Funny Money, talks about "hair done up in a ridiculous bouffant like an Elvis impersonator"; the Charleston Conference Proceedings 2004 mention "the number of Elvis impersonators attending the Super Bowl or something equally as ridiculous", etc. etc.), some critical voices must surely be included in the article. Onefortyone 14:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Dubious Quote
"There are now at least 85,000 Elvis’s around the world, compared to only 170 in 1977 when Elvis died. At this rate of growth, experts predict that by 2019 Elvis impersonators will make up a third of the world population." - The Naked Scientists 3rd December, 2000.

Besides being ridiculously speculative and misleading (there are more people in the world now, few people would impersonate him right when he died, and that would never happen because the rate of growth would obviously slow down before 1 in 3 people dressed like Elvis), and from an unreliable source (that spelled Elvis wrong), that quote was directly taken from a copyrighted page. BALETED! --Someones life 04:25, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I think this quote should stay in. There is nothing wrong with using a small quote from a copyrighted source to demonstrate a point, it is referenced so seems perfectly useable from what I can see, its not like there are pages and pages of content that has been passed off as an article?  The source of the quote is from the University of Cambridge run website and not just a random quote from a random person, it was backed up by statistical information and research by them.  It was moved to the trivia section and is supposed to be a light-hearted and humorous trivia point demonstrating that there are a lot of Elvis Impersonators. I guess the humour was missed here?  Yes the information is old (2000) but it does mention a date of 2019 so is still applicable, is there any scientific information to counter this point in order for it to be removed? --Legoman 10:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Scientific information? How about common sense? I'm deleting it. adavidw 00:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Again I think you are missing the point, it’s a humorous trivia point that is relevant and was based on research by university students from a respected university. It also contains the important figure 85,000; they did not just pull this from the air.  Why not edit the statement to make it more clear that it is not intended to be a serious future prediction on world population and put it into context i.e. demonstrating that there are a lot of Elvis Impersonators (85,000) rather than just deleting it?  Returning it to its original state - adding it back in! Legoman 10:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Removal of Notable impersonators
See Notability_(music)

Most (if not all) people who are listed in this section do not meet the requirements or are at the best borderline for notability. In order to be fair to all this section was removed as it did not really add much value and maybe contributed to the article becoming a "and me!" list.

If the section really must stay then it should be re-wrote (not just added back in) with the above guidelines in mind. --Legoman 17 February 2006 10:45 (UTC)

 * Notability has nothing to do with that. That is about creating articles. In this case it is not relevant whether a person is good enough to have their own article, but whether he is relevant for the subject. Dr Debug (Talk) 15:08, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I would have to disagree on this, although not perfect Notability_(music) does give very good advice that could be applied to this article to stop it degenerating into a small article with little content and a large list of questionably "notable" people. I also think its a shame that it was added back in without at least spending the time in trying to reference the information with sources. It has few, if any references for most of the entries in that section, some dont even have anything notable apart from a name.  It looks more like a "and me!" list and will get longer over time.  Where would the list stop, when it is 10, 20 or 20000 people long?

 * In my opinion the article does not suffer without this section. Provision has been made for the reader to find impersonators via the open directory link in the external links section.

 * Does it add value... what do other Wikipedians think??? --Legoman 17:22, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * On the one hand, simplicity is best ... but I also like the potential Wikipedia has for becoming a master reference that catalogs all information known to humans. I argue in favor of a separate entry that is just a list with bios of the impersonators, and the main entry can link to it someplace. --Mesolimbo 18:11, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * There is a huge difference between throwing a whole section out and talking about a list of 20,000 people. Right now it is a limited list of people and it is the combined work of many different editors. If the list is too long or if an addition is silly then it would be appropriate to make a change, however deleting a whole list and completely rewriting an article is not the way Wikipedia works. Please read: WP:OWN. If the list becomes too long which is not the case it can be moved in due time. Dr Debug (Talk) 21:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Some good points made so far. However, at 17 people the list is bigger than the article, which seems way over the top (time to be moved), especially when applying Notability_(music), Vanity_page and Verifiability.  Appologies in advance for such a long reply.  Lets try and look at the list objectively using NPOV,

 * 5.1 Andy Kaufman
 * Possible candidate for staying? Possibly the most notable as he has a well structured and established page, but no references to back it up as fact.  Shifted entry into origins.
 * (For what it's worth, Kaufman's page has a citation, which is corroborated in the biography "Lost In The Funhouse" indicating that Elvis saw him perform, which if it doesn't directly contradict the Bill Haney statement in the Literature section, certainly might merit a clarification. Chicobangs (talk) 19:25, 16 January 2010 (UTC))
 * 5.2 "Big" Jim White
 * Informative entry, tried to justify notability, nice attempt but no references.
 * 5.3 Bruce Atkinson
 * See Vanity_page does it offer anything for the reader. Candidate for removal? No references.
 * 5.4 Deke Rivers
 * See Vanity_page does it offer anything for the reader. Candidate for removal?  No references.
 * 5.5 Eilert Pilarm
 * Has own page, but no references to back it up as fact. Sold records (no facts), is this enough to justify possible notability, possible candidate for staying?  No references.
 * 5.6 Elvis For Peace
 * Possible candidate for staying? News worthy item (however, local news).  References to back it up as fact.

 * We need some way to benchmark who is notable and who is not because there are an awful lot of people who will think they deserve a place on the list. The section is very weak, vulnerable to spam and I count at least 7 people who shouldnt be there at all (make that 8 with the recently reverted Elvez addition by Adavidw).  This was the reasoning on why it was not put back in (to be fair to everyone).

 * Dr Debug notes that "however deleting a whole list and completely rewriting an article is not the way Wikipedia works". I spent time and effort trying to make the article better and I would like to hope that it is a vast improvement on its previous incarnation and a step in the right direction to encourage a less spammy article.  I tried to keep the integrity of the article intact, if you look closely it wasnt a complete rewrite most of the text is still original (preserving and improving previous editors work by adding references and re-ordering).  I also used WP:OWN, Notability_(music), Vanity_page and Verifiability as guidelines!  In your rush to revert the article, Andy Kaufman's entry wasnt even corrected - to the detriment of the current article (maybe you overlooked it?).  Again, why not put some time in and improve the section rather than re-adding unreferenced (at best) and vanity (at worst) entries.  This was always going to a little controversial for those who stand to loose an entry, but lets help to make the article better not worse?

 * Any opinions? What do other Wikipedians think??? --Legoman 09:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Statistics
The joke statistic about elvis impersonators making up one third of the world population is inappropriate. --User:24.63.106.86 1 February 2006 00:11 (UTC)

 * Although this comment seems like a joke (it wasnt meant to be taken too literally, thats why it has been moved to Trivia), it was based on scientific statistical research into how many Elvis impersonators were in around in 1977 compared until when the quote was made which makes it valid. User:Legoman 6 February 2006 22:27 (UTC)

Extreme Elvis Edit
Tidying of ExtremeElvis entry. There was no need to include a second link to his website and this should have been in the External Links section. Also decided to remove a references to the ExtremeElvis website until either the FBI page is confirmed as real or an operational website which includes information of real value to ExtremeElvis appears. Feel free to re-add the link if the website re-opens or if there is confirmed information that the FBI did shut down the website. --Legoman 16 October 2005 11:40 (UTC)

Trivial Trivia, Indeed

Paragraph Commented Out In "Types of Elvis Impersonator"
Under the three levels of impersonator, there was a paragraph that seemed to be inserted as an advertisement for a group. I commented it out, pending further review. 50.46.186.215 (talk) 21:12, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Elvis sound-alikes
I expected to find a section on Elvis sound-alikes too in the article. The pop music knew a lot of them during the 70s, especially in the UK and the Benelux countries. Should we add such a section? 83.85.143.141 (talk) 02:25, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I think we're being lose with using impersonator rather than impressionist, but I agree that voice impersonation/impressionism should be able to fit within this article.
 * As long as we have reliable, third-party sources, I don't think we could go far wrong. --Ronz (talk) 18:07, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Most imitated his lower ends of his voice, like Les Gray from Mud, Danny Mirror and Jack Jersey did. Some imitated his act, covered his songs, while not trying to imitate as closely as possible his image, like Ricky Gordon and Mike Berry did. René Shuman won a contest by impersonating, but after that changed his image and sound soon. So there is quite a range of methods used to imitate The King. 83.85.143.141 (talk) 22:04, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Reasons to impersonate Elvis
Dutch reverend ds. Fred Omvlee is organizing Elvis-gospels services in the Netherlands, and tells on the project's website (translated: Elvis' chapel; the website is written in the Dutch language): Always be yourself, unless you can be Elvis, then always be Elvis. However, his services will probably have Elvis impersonators entering, as Omvlee tells on his weblog of people citing: Elvis' gospel songs brought me to believe, to the Christian Faith. Elvis is for them an evangelical idol. 83.85.143.141 (talk) 20:43, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

User talk:Pot liquor

Pot liquor or the more common southern version pronunciation "pot likker" is the liquid that is formed in the pot as various vegtables are being cooked. It is a combination of the cooking water,the flavor of the vegtables,seasonings and then the various meat pieces that are added. It is not to be confused with a soup or a "stock". Pot likker "happens" as you prepare the dish. The most common type of pot likker is that liquid that results from the cooking of "greens". These could be collards, turnips,(with or without the roots) and mustard greens. Next would be pot likker from peas. Not green peas but black eyed, purple hull, pink eye, zipper,crowder peas etc. Pot likker has it's own unique flavor based on the ingredients used in the preparation. Meat is a key ingredient and in the southern part of the U.S. this would commonly be some pieces of smoked pork. These pork pieces could be some type of smoked and/or country style ham hock, pork jowels, pork snout, pig tail,pork ears, fat back and/or bacon. Other meats(wild game, squirrel, rabbit, possum) could also be used, because you are trying to add a meat flavor to the vegtables and seasonings. Pot likker can be served in cups or bowls as part of the ensuing meal or poured off to be enjoyed later. The pot likker itself is not unhealthy, containing as it does all the vitamins and minerals that have become part of the liquid, but sometimes it can contain an overload of salt.

Closer (Better Than Ezra album)

Closer is the fifth studio album by the New Orleans-based rock trio Better Than Ezra. It was released on August 7, 2001 by Beyond Records. Closer initially performed better than its predecessor, How Does Your Garden Grow?, peaking at #110 on the Billboard charts. The first single off the album, "Extra Ordinary," placed on both the Billboard Modern Rock and Adult Top 40 charts (it was the eighth and last BTE single to date to place on the Modern Rock charts). A second single, "Misunderstood," was planned, but Beyond Records declared bankruptcy before it could be released.

As of early 2007, Closer was out of print due to Beyond Records going out of business and copies were scarce, though some were still in stock in stores. Legal problems resulting from Beyond's bankruptcy meant it would be four years before Better than Ezra's next studio album, Before the Robots. In the meantime, the band would release a live album in 2004, recorded in their hometown at the House of Blues.

In June 2009, the band announced they had acquired the rights to "Closer" and all of the master tracks recorded during the sessions for the album, and would be reissuing it via their own label on CD, The re-release was made available in October 2009 via the band's online store, sporting a bright new red cover, and two bonus tracks, "Simple Song", a long-standing fan favorite, and "Screwed Up And Beautiful". Both tracks were recorded during the 2001 sessions for the album but omitted from the final record.

Pedro Rubiano Sáenz

Pedro Rubiano Sáenz (13 September 1932 – 15 April 2024) was a Colombian prelate of the Catholic Church who was Archbishop of Bogotá from 1995 to 2010. He was Bishop of Cúcuta from 1972 to 1983, and Archbishop of Cali from 1985 to 1994 after two years as coadjutor there. Pope John Paul II made him a cardinal in 2001.

Early life and ordination
Pedro Rubiano Sáenz was born in Cartago, Colombia, on 13 September 1933, the fourth of six sons born to Pedro Rubiano and Tulia Sáenz. He attended the Colegio de María Auxiliadora and the Colegio Ramírez, then the Diocesan College of Santa Teresita in the Bitaco neighborhood, and then at the minor seminaries of Cali and Popayán. He studied at the seminary in Popayán and the Université Laval in Quebec, where he earned his licentiate in sacred theology. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Cali on 8 July 1956 from Bishop Julio Caicedo y Téllez. He then studied at Catholic University in Washington and at the Institute for Social Studies of Santiago de Chile. He fulfilled a variety of pastoral assignments in the 15 years following his ordination, including chaplain of the Marco Fidel Suárez Military Aviation School, the Santa Librada national school, and the Nuestra Señora de los Remedios clinic. He was pastor and founder of the parishes of San Pedro Claver and Nuestra Señora de la Providencia. By 1971 he was pastoral vicar of the archdiocese and vice-rector of the Major School "Santiago di Cali".

Bishop and archbishop
On 2 June 1971, Pope Paul VI named him bishop of Cúcuta. He received his episcopal consecration on 11 July 1972 in Cali from Archbishop Angelo Palmas, Nuncio to Colombia. Pope John Paul II appointed him Coadjutor Archbishop of Cali on 26 March 1983 and he succeeded as archbishop there on 7 February 1985.

From 1983 to 1989 he was vice president of the International Commission for Migration and Refugees based in Geneva. From April 1990 to January 1991, he was apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Popayán.

Pope John Paul transferred him to the metropolitan see of Bogotá on 27 December 1994. He was installed there on 11 February 1995. On 12 October 1995, he was made a member of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerants. One of his most significant initiatives was the creation of the Archdiocesan Food Bank, which continued to operate as long as he lived.

On 4 August 1995, he established the National Conciliation Commission in the hope that a broad and diverse coalition might help resolve Colombia's political divisions and end armed conflict.

Rubiano Sáenz was elected to a three-year term as president of the Colombian Bishops Conference in 1990 and re-elected in 1993.

Cardinal
Pope John Paul made Rubiano Sáenz Cardinal-Priest of Trasfigurazione di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo in the consistory of 21 February 2001. He was made a member of the Congregation for Catholic Education on 15 May 2001 and his membership on the Pontifical Council for Migrants was renewed on 18 May 2001.

In 2002, he was elected to another term as president of the Colombian Bishops Conference. He was also president of the economic committee of the Episcopal Council of Latin America (CELAM) from May 2003 to July 2007.

In 2003, he oversaw the creation of three new suffragan dioceses from the territory of the Archdiocese of Bigotá: Engativá, Fontibón and Soacha.

Rubiano Sáenz was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 2005 papal conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI.

In 2006, as Colombia's Constitutional Court considered an abortion rights case, Rubiano Sáenz warned of the danger posed by a Latin American country breaking from the region's universal ban on abortion. He wrote: "The loss of one country will substantially weaken the pro-life fabric of all of Latin America. What begins as a small hole will end as a huge tear allowing much evil to come in." In May, after the Court ruled that abortion could not be punished in certain cases, he wrote that "decriminalizing abortion, even in the cases indicated by the ruling of the Constitutional Court, does not change either the seriousness of the fact or the moral judgment of abortion.... What is legal is not always moral."

On 31 January 2008, he mocked the idea that achieving peace between the government of Colombia and the FARC rebels required the intervention of Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez. He said: "The only thing left is to kneel down before Chavez! I believe we Colombians have dignity."

In July 2009, he advised Colombian president Álvaro Uribe against seeking a third term as president. He said: "Two terms is a lot. He has carried out important work for the good of the country and for peace. It would be better for him if after finishing his second term he left office and later on ran again."

Pope Benedict accepted Rubiano Sáenz's resignation as Archbishop of Bogotá on 8 July 2010, three years after he had submitted it.

Rubiano Sáenz was apostolic administrator of the archdiocese until the installation of his successor, Archbishop Rubén Salazar Gómez, on 13 August 2010.

Death
Rubiano Sáenz died at his residence in Bogotá on 15 April 2024 at the age of 91.

Honors
Rubiano Sáenz was honoured with the following:
 * Order of Boyacá - Silver Cross (Colombia) - ribbon bar.png Order of Boyacá
 * SMOM-s.svg Sovereign Military Order of Malta
 * OPMM-co.svg Order pro merito Melitensi

Moss-trooper

Moss-troopers were brigands of the mid-17th century, who operated across the border country between Scotland and the northern English counties of Northumberland and Cumberland during the period of the English Commonwealth, until after the Restoration.

Much like the earlier Border reivers who had operated in the lawless region during the 16th century and were dealt with, moss-troopers do not have a clear genesis. They gradually evolved, or reemerged, from the long running sociopolitical milieu of the Border. Mention of them appears suddenly in historical records and gives the false impression that they appeared suddenly, but the first statute passed to deal with them, the Moss Troopers Act 1662 (14 Cha. 2. c. 22), notes the moss-troopers to have been a long-running problem.

With the 1662 act about to expire, the Cavalier Parliament passed the Moss Troopers Act 1666 (18 & 19 Cha. 2. c. 3). Under section two of this act, the benefit of clergy was taken away from those convicted, which generally meant a death sentence, or otherwise with judicial discretion, the notorious thieves and spoil-takers in Northumberland or Cumberland were to be transported to America, "there to remaine and not to returne".

Many moss-troopers were disbanded or deserting soldiers from one of the Scottish armies of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. They had kept their weapons and lived a life of brigandage, attacking both civilians and Parliamentary soldiers for supplies during the Royalist rising of 1653 to 1654 when English Parliamentarian troops under George Monck occupied Scotland. Moss-troopers usually operated in small bands, either on the fringes of the Highlands or in the border regions. Many Highland lairds complained of moss-troopers' cattle-stealing and of how they incurred military reprisals against the Highlands as a whole.

Some moss-troopers may have had a national-political as well as an economic motivation, believing in resisting the Cromwellian occupation of Scotland – much as their Irish contemporaries, the "tories", in part resisted English occupation.

Bauang

Bauang, officially the Municipality of Bauang (Ili ti Bauang; Bayan ng Bauang), is a 1st class municipality in the province of La Union, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 78,449 people. In Philippine Literature and History, it is known for being the homeplace of literary icon and World War II martyr Manuel Arguilla.

The MacArthur Highway runs through the town which junctions with Naguilian Road, one of the mountain roads leading to Baguio.

Etymology
Bauang originated from either two Ilocano language words: baoang (meaning "garlic") or buang also means "river split into two" flowing into the sea (in reference to the delta that divides an eponymous river into two).

Early historic period
Bauang was a pre-colonial settlement in the country that became one of the first missions organized by the Augustinians in Northern Luzon. It used to belong to the federation of towns and settlements jointly known as “Baratao, Buratao and Balitao”.

Spanish colonial era
In 1587, Bauang became the center of the “ministerio” of Baratao and was first placed under the patronage of Sts. Peter and Paul. Fr. Miguel Sano, an Augustinian missionary, was the first priest of the Parish of the Chair of St. Peter which was later on reverted to its historical titular Saints Peter and Paul.

Like other towns in the province, Bauang also had its share in the devastating invasions of Moro pirates ("tirong") made series of invasions in Bauang. These invasions gave rise to the construction of watchtowers or baluarte, by then Gobernadorcillo Don Juan Mallare. In 1890, Bauang revolucionarios led by Remigio Patacsil and Mauro Ortiz ousted the Spanish colonizers (cazadores or Spanish soldiers).

American colonial era
In 1913, however, Bauang barrios were given to San Fernando: Pagudpud, Pagdalagan, Sevilla, Bungro, Tanquigan, and Sibuan-Otong.

Prominence of Manuel Arguilla
Bauang became well known in literary circles during the Commonwealth era because of the prominence of the writer Manuel Arguilla, who often drew inspiration from his upbringing in Bauang and the nearby countryside.

Japanese Invasion of Lingayen Gulf
Bauang, along with the nearby towns of Agoo and Caba were the first places the Japanese invasion force sought to control during the main effort to capture Luzon at the beginning of World War 2 - now known as the Japanese Invasion of Lingayen Gulf. Capturing the three towns which were connected by a high quality road, but protected on one side by the ocean and the other by the sea, meant that the Japanese forces were easily able to establish a secure beachhead. Once they had done so, they launched attacks against defense forces at San Fernando, La Union and Rosario, La Union, and from there they deployed southwards across the plains of Pangasinan and Tarlac to take Fort Stotsenburg in Pampanga, then Bulacan, and finally Manila.

Resistance of Philippine and US forces
During the Pacific War, heroes of Bauang fought in its beaches, in Lingayen Gulf, Bataan and Corregidor (as USAFIP-NL).

The Japanese executed Manuel Arguilla, poet and journalist, Major Alberto O. Fenit (USAFFE), and Bauang Mayor Ambrosio Rimando. A town plaza monument today honors these Bauang heroes.

Retaking of Bauang
On March 14, 1945, the Allied Forces, along with guerillas and local inhabitants successfully captured the Bauang Bridges from the Japanese forces. The bridge was heavily guarded by the Japanese Army as it is the feasible route to Baguio, where the Japanese themselves virtually inaccessible from any ground attack. The capture of the two bridges is one of the most brilliant small unit actions of World War II.

Postwar Era
After the international recognition of Philippine independence in the wake of World War II, Bauang became known as the Beach Capital of the Philippines (1970, the shorelines of Baccuit Sur to Pagdalagan Sur). Bauang's Research Reef, a dive spot for local and foreign scuba divers, was recognized as a natural treasure.

During the Marcos dictatorship
The beginning of the 1970s marked a period of turmoil and change in the Philippines because Ferdinand Marcos had used foreign debt to fund too many public works projects as he headed his 1969 reelection campaign, which led to the 1969 Philippine economic crisis and the First Quarter Storm protests. La Union residents mostly did not speak up about the economic stresses they were experiencing, but when Marcos declared martial law in 1972, Bauang was included with the rest of the country.

Marcos' efforts to consolidate political power did not get much resistance in the La Union, including Bauang, and La Union residents mostly did not speak up about the economic stresses they were experiencing. This was because Marcos took advantage of strong political ties to La Union, and allowed the powerful family factions (which had dominated La Union politics since before the American colonial era) to stay in place.

Later 20th Century
After Marcos fled into exile after the civilian-led 1986 People Power revolution, Manuel N. Sanglay was appointed OIC mayor under the new Provisional Revolutionary Government. He was then properly elected into office when the Fifth Philippine Republic was established, serving until 1992.

In 1990, Bauang was heavily affected by the 1990 Luzon earthquake.

Manuel Arguilla commemorations
Among Philippines literary circles, Bauang has become a pilgrimage site of sorts for celebrating the life of and works of writer and World War II martyr Manuel Arguilla, with writers visiting the author's hometown to experience the landscapes that inspired him, and which featured prominently in his stories.

The most prominent event celebrating Arguilla was the 2017 run of the Taboan Literary Festival, a celebration of Philippine literature which changes venues every year, organized by the National Commission on Culture and the Arts during every National Arts Month in February. Among the prominent artists who came to the festival to celebrate Arguilla were writer-academic Butch Dalisay and National Artist of the Philippines Bienvenido Lumbera.

The ancestral house where Arguilla grew up is still standing at Barangay Nagrebcan in Bauang, bearing a historical marker put in place by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.

Saints Peter and Paul Parish Church
The Sts. Peter & Paul Parish Church (canonically erected on April 25, 1587, by the Augustinian missionaries) celebrates its fiesta every June 29. It is under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Fernando de La Union (Dioecesis Ferdinandopolitana ab Unione, Suffragan of Lingayen – Dagupan, which was created on January 19, 1970, and erected on April 11, 1970, comprising the Civil Province of La Union, under the Titular, St. William the Hermit, February 10). It has been headed by the Most Rev. Rodolfo F. Beltran, D.D., bishop since January 18, 2013. The Church is under a diocese of the Latin Church of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines from the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia. The Church is also under the pastorship of Rev. Fr. Perpetuo Concepcion. Its Parochial Fiesta is on April 26.

The Saints Peter and Paul Church is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. Damaged by the 1892 earthquake, the Church was restored in 1895. Damaged again in 1944, the stone convent was destroyed in 1955. The Sacred Heart School now stands from the old Convent.

The Church has a rectangular four-storey bell tower (with two bells, restored with cement and hollow blocks in 1973). The Church interior was painted in 1978. The July 16, 1990, quake destroyed the facade which was later rebuilt. In 1901 US Army's (then) Lt. Col. Thomas Barry, who was chasing Emilio Aguinaldo during the Philippine–American War, took the bell as a "token souvenir" and later gave the bell to his alma mater, the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, where it was housed for over a century. The bell was ceremoniously returned to the Philippines in May 2016 to be reinstalled in the Peter and Paul Church.

The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes is at the foot of the Church.

400-year old San Pedro Bell

On May 23, 2016, the 400-year old "San Pedro" bell made from alloy of gold, silver, and copper has been returned to the Saints Peter and Paul Parish Church, after American soldiers during the Philippine–American War in 1901 took it from the church to West Point Academy in New York.

Local government
Just as the national government, the Bauang's municipal government is divided into three branches: executive, legislative, and judiciary. The judicial branch is administered solely by the Supreme Court of the Philippines. The LGUs have control of the executive and legislative branches.

The executive branch is composed of the mayor and the barangay captain for the barangays. The legislative branch is composed of the Sangguniang Bayan (town assembly), Sangguniang Barangay (barangay council), and the Sangguniang Kabataan for the youth sector.

The seat of Government is vested upon the Mayor Menchie L. de Guzman who holds office since June 30, 2019, at the Bauang Town Hall. The Sangguniang Bayan is the center of legislation.

Infrastructure
1590 Energy Corporation The Bauang Diesel Power Plant formerly owned by the Bauang Private Power Corporation (BPPC) is a diesel-fired power plant that commenced operations in July 1995 with a 215 MW-capacity. State-owned National Power Corporation and the First Private Power Corp. (FPPC) entered into a Build-Operate-Transfer Agreement for the BPCC for a period of 15 years.

On July 26, 2010, after the BOT expiration, it was turned over to the NAPOCOR and the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM) and later to the Provincial Government of La Union. Both Viviant Energy Corporation and Gigawatt Power, Inc. under the 1590 Energy Corp. operates the Bauang power facility provide the additional supply to the Luzon grid.

Major facilities inside the plant include a substation, two 100,000 bbl steel fuel storage tanks, sludge treatment plant, and five auxiliary buildings consisting of an administration building (812 sq.m), maintenance building (981 sq.m), warehouse building (591 sq.m), guest house (583 sq.m), bunkhouse (660 sq.m), and a canteen (550 sq.m).

The world's largest medium-speed power station in Bauang maintains an IMS certification for ISO 9901:2000, ISO 14001:2004, and OHSAS 18001 from Certification International.

PLDT Asia-Pacific Cable Network (APCN) in Baccuit Sur A Digital Optical Cable System for telecommunications services linking Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines is strategically located at the coastline barangay of Baccuit Norte in Bauang, La Union.

Bob Daisley

Robert John Daisley (born 13 February 1950) is an Australian musician and songwriter. A bass guitarist, he is perhaps best known for his intermittent relationship with vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, for whom he contributed bass, co-production and songwriting throughout the 1980s. Daisley has also worked with prominent rock acts including Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Gary Moore, Chicken Shack and Uriah Heep, among others. In 2013, he published his autobiography entitled For Facts Sake which has received outstanding reviews.

Early career
Daisley began playing guitar at age 13 and went on to bass at 14. His rapid progress won him local acclaim, especially through his work with guitarist Dennis Wilson with The Powerpact and Mecca; Mecca's only single release "Black Sally" became an underground hit and was covered by Human Instinct on their Stoned Guitar album. Daisley and Wilson then formed Kahvas Jute with Tamam Shud members Tim Gaze and Dannie Davidson. They released one album, Wide Open, on Infinity Records in 1971.

Daisley came to international notice as a bass player and member of the English blues band Chicken Shack in 1972, before going on to play with Mungo Jerry in 1973 and on their 1974 album Long-Legged Woman Dressed in Black. After this he co-formed Widowmaker, contributing to two albums – 1975's self-titled debut and Too Late to Cry in 1977. The same year he joined Ritchie Blackmore's band Rainbow and later played on tracks of the Long Live Rock 'n' Roll album. He remained with Rainbow until 1979 when he was replaced by Blackmore's ex-Deep Purple bandmate Roger Glover.

Ozzy Osbourne
In October 1979, Daisley met Ozzy Osbourne at a venue called the Music Machine in Camden Town, after Osbourne had been fired from the band Black Sabbath. The pair hit it off and Osbourne suggested they form a band. They were soon joined by former Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads, whom Osbourne had recently met in Los Angeles. The trio hired ex-Uriah Heep drummer Lee Kerslake and settled on the band name The Blizzard of Ozz, though the new band's management soon decided to bill the act simply as "Ozzy Osbourne".

Daisley contributed bass, songwriting and co-production on the group's first album, Blizzard of Ozz, and co-wrote all of the material on the follow-up album Diary of a Madman but both he and drummer Lee Kerslake were fired before the second album was released. Bassist Rudy Sarzo received credit on Diary of a Madman, though he did not perform on it.

Daisley and Kerslake later successfully sued Don Arden and Jet Records for performance royalties and to have their performance credits added to Diary of a Madman. Litigation continued for many years until Daisley and Kerslake sued the Osbournes (who unknown to Daisley and Kerslake had purchased the early albums' publishing rights) for unpaid performance royalties and accreditation. Sharon, without Ozzy's knowledge, responded by re-issuing new CD versions of both albums with the bass and drum tracks re-recorded by Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin in 2002. In 2003, Daisley and Kerslake's lawsuit was dismissed by the United States District Court in Los Angeles. This dismissal was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In 2011, Sony Legacy re-released both albums with Daisley and Kerslake's original bass and drum parts restored.

Daisley continued to return to the Osbourne camp to write and record for several albums throughout the 1980s, playing on and/or writing for Bark at the Moon (1983), The Ultimate Sin (1986), and No Rest for the Wicked (1988). He maintained his working relationship with the Osbournes up until 1991's No More Tears album, which featured his bass playing on all tracks. Mike Inez (who later joined Alice in Chains) appeared in the album's promotional videos.

Uriah Heep
After leaving Osbourne's band the first time, Daisley joined the reformed Uriah Heep in 1981 alongside Kerslake and remained with them until the following year, recording two albums, Abominog and Head First, both of which helped to rekindle some interest in the band.

Gary Moore
During his on-off involvement with Osbourne, Daisley also recorded many albums with Gary Moore and toured extensively with him.

Black Sabbath
In 1986, he was approached by producer Jeff Glixman to play on the Black Sabbath album The Eternal Idol, as the band's actual bass player Dave Spitz had personal commitments to attend to. However, Spitz was credited on the final release along with him. Daisley was offered the bassist's spot in Black Sabbath but turned it down due to his commitment to Gary Moore, with whom he continued to work from time to time until the guitarist's death in 2011.

Other contributions
Since the 1980s, Daisley has contributed to a wealth of recordings as bassist, lyricist and producer, including albums by Yngwie Malmsteen, Takara, Bill Ward, Black Sabbath and Jeff Watson of Night Ranger. Daisley and Watson teamed up again and formed Mother's Army with vocalist Joe Lynn Turner and drummer Carmine Appice. In 2003, following his second and unsuccessful suit against Ozzy Osbourne, he teamed up with Lee Kerslake, Steve Morse of Deep Purple and Australian rock singer Jimmy Barnes to record an album under the name Living Loud. Six of the album's eleven tracks were covers from Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. Don Airey played keyboards on the Living Loud album. On 7 February 2003 Daisley recorded a live show at The Basement in Sydney with Australian blues band The Hoochie Coochie Men, for a live DVD and CD release. Featured were former Deep Purple organist Jon Lord and Jimmy Barnes. In 2007, The Hoochie Coochie Men released the studio album Danger: White Men Dancing, also featuring Jon Lord. In September 2014, Daisley was hired to produce the debut album of Adelaide-based hard rock band Cherry Grind.

Book
Daisley's autobiography For Facts Sake was published in August 2013.

Gear
Daisley uses Mark Bass heads, and Picato Strings since 1972. He recorded Ozzy Osbourne's solo debut Blizzard of Ozz with a white Gibson EB-3 from 1961, through one of Randy Rhoads' Marshall stacks, and continues to use an early-1960s EB-3 to this day. However, the follow-up to Blizzard, Diary of a Madman, (and most of the other albums he recorded on) was recorded with a Fender Precision Bass. No More Tears was recorded with a P-bass as well, but an early '50s model with a single coil pickup (in sunburst).

American terrorism
Hello, and welcome; Thanks for jumping in. I think in this case Allegations of war crimes against U.S. officials should not be merged into American terrorism (term). It's logical to think they belong together, but American terrorism (term) has a complex history. It exists to document notable uses of the term 'American terrorism' in the media, and that's all. That's one reason why term is specified in the title. I'll post this to Talk:American terrorism (term) also, and I invite you to reply there. That way everyone who follows the page can conveniently discuss it together. Tom Harrison Talk 21:20, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikifun/Round 8/Answers/Question 19

Taking a deep breath...
 * the Australian city is Melbourne.
 * List of Melbourne bus routes, way down at the bottom, has a NightRider bus numbered 03 to Croydon. After some disambiguation, we see that...
 * Croydon, Victoria has a table showing what towns adjoin it - to the southeast is...
 * Montrose, Victoria, which "has a museum of the Australian author, May Gibbs, who created the Gumnut Babies." Fascinating I'm sure, but redlinked, so we won't stop in.
 * What links here? The disambig page Montrose, which mentions that a horse by that name won the Kentucky Derby in 1887.
 * Adding a year, the 1888 Kentucky Derby winner was Macbeth II - subtract two for Macbeth, definitely in Scotland.
 * Adaptations of the play Macbeth have set it in the ganglands of Chicago, New York and Mumbai.
 * Mumbai is located on Salsette Island, but if you can make that into a Wikipedia policy you're doing better than me. Instead, check out Geography of Mumbai, where it says that the island of Middle Ground lies to the east of Mumbai. The Middle Ground wikilink in the article actually links to Middle Ground Coastal Battery, a fortified gun emplacement. I'm not sure what that says about Wikipedia policy... but it does point out that Middle Ground is difficult to get to.

Whew. FreplySpang (talk) 20:28, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * ''Correct! The wikipedia policy I was referring to, was NPOV. Eugene van der Pijll 12:00, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Wow. I got as far as the Derby in my attempt to answer this and then couldn't figure out the rest. Very neat question. --Marnen Laibow-Koser (talk) 15:10, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
