Toronto Blizzard (1971–1984)

The Toronto Blizzard were a professional soccer club based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that played in the North American Soccer League (NASL).

History
The Toronto Metros joined the NASL in 1971. Their home field was Varsity Stadium.

In 1975, 50% of the team was purchased for $250,000 by the Toronto Croatia of the National Soccer League (NSL), and the team became the Toronto Metros-Croatia. The club won the 1976 Soccer Bowl championship. However, they continued to struggle at the gate. In mid September 1976, it was reported that team owed $100,000 to the Ontario government and $95,000 to the metropolitan Toronto government, that several star players were free agents and the team might fold.

The Global Television Network purchased 85% of the struggling Toronto Metros-Croatia on February 1, 1979, for $2.6 million. Following the purchase, Toronto Croatia returned to the NSL as a separate club. With only 7 of the 26 players from the 1978 roster staying, the NASL team was renamed the Toronto Blizzard following the takeover. Under the new ownership, attendances nearly doubled. From 1979 to 1983 the Blizzard played home games at Exhibition Stadium before returning to Varsity Stadium for the 1984 NASL season.

The Blizzard were members of the NASL until 1984, the last year of league operations. The team were runners-up for the league championship in 1983, losing the Soccer Bowl to the Tulsa Roughnecks 2–0 in front of nearly sixty thousand people at Vancouver's BC Place Stadium. They were runners-up again in 1984 when they lost to the Chicago Sting two games to none in a best of three championship series. The club was coached in these final two years by Bobby Houghton, assisted by Dave Turner and featured Roberto Bettega, David Byrne, Cliff Calvert, Pasquale De Luca, Charlie Falzon, Sven Habermann, Paul Hammond, Paul James, Conny Karlsson, Victor Kodelja, Trevor McCallum, Colin Miller, Jan Möller, Jimmy Nicholl, Ace Ntsoelengoe, Randy Ragan, Neill Roberts, John Paskin, Derek Spalding, and Bruce Wilson in its lineup.

The Blizzard qualified for the play-offs on only two other occasions, in 1979 and 1982, losing in the first round each time. Prominent players during the first four years included Clyde Best, Željko Bilecki, Jimmy Bone, Roberto Bettega, Drew Busby, David Byrne, Cliff Calvert, Tony Chursky, David Fairclough, Colin Franks, George Gibbs, Jimmy Greenhoff, Steve Harris-Byrne, Graham Hatley, Victor Kodelja, Sam Lenarduzzi, Peter Lorimer, Ivan Lukačević, Drago Vabec, Mike McLenaghen, Willie McVie, Alan Merrick, Charlie Mitchell, Juan Carlos Molina, Jan Möller, Francesco Morini, Ace Ntsoelengoe, Bobby Prentice, Randy Ragan, Neill Roberts, Malcolm Robertson, Peter Roe, Jomo Sono, Gordon Sweetzer, Blagoje Tamindžić, Jose Velasquez, and Bruce Wilson.

The Metros-Croatia fielded a team in NASL's indoor league in 1975 and 1976, as did the Blizzard from 1980 through 1982.

In 2010, the 1976 Soccer Bowl winning team was inducted into the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame.

After the NASL
On March 28, 1985, the NASL officially suspended operations for the 1985 season, when only Toronto and Minnesota Strikers were interested in playing. In the meantime Blizzard owners York-Hanover purchased Dynamo Latino of the National Soccer League with the intention of renaming them the Toronto Blizzard. Though the Blizzard franchise had never actually folded, they had ceased operations for several months between these incarnations and NSL regulations did not permit a name change in the midst of the season. The following season (1986) Dynamo Latino began play as the Toronto Blizzard. A history of this team can be found at Toronto Blizzard (1986–93).

Golden Bull of Sicily

The Golden Bull of Sicily (Zlatá bula sicilská; Bulla Aurea Siciliæ) was a decree issued by the King of Sicily and future Emperor Frederick II in Basel on 26 September 1212 that confirmed the royal title obtained by Ottokar I of Bohemia in 1198, declaring him and his heirs kings of Bohemia. The kingship signified the exceptional status of Bohemia within the Holy Roman Empire.

Ottokar's Přemyslid ancestor Vratislaus II had already been elevated to kingship by Emperor Henry IV in 1085 at the diet in Mainz. He was crowned at Prague by Archbishop Egilbert of Trier the next year, the title however was not hereditary and upon his death in 1092, his brother Conrad I succeeded him again as duke. In 1158 Vratislaus' grandson Vladislaus II achieved kingship again, bestowed by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, whom he had accompanied on his Italian campaign against Milan, but failed to secure the succession of his eldest son Frederick.

In September 1198 Frederick's younger half-brother Ottokar I made use of the rivalry among Otto IV from the House of Welf and the Hohenstaufen duke Philip of Swabia, youngest son of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who both had been elected King of the Romans. He received the hereditary royal title from Philip for his support and, maneuvering between both sides, achieved the acknowledgement by Otto IV as well as by Pope Innocent III. After the assassination of Philip and the papal ban imposed on Otto IV in 1210, Ottokar again switched sides, when he and several princes in 1211 convened at Nuremberg and elected the young Hohenstaufen scion Frederick II alium imperatorem ("Other Emperor"). Frederick, then king of Sicily, left for his coronation in Germany, reaching Basel in September 1212. Here he issued the Golden Bull that confirmed the kingship of Ottokar I and his heirs in Bohemia.

According to the Golden Bull of Sicily, the estates of Bohemia and Moravia were an autonomous and indivisible constituent of the Holy Roman Empire. The king of Bohemia was no longer subject to appointment by the emperor, and was only required to attend Reichstag diets close to the Bohemian border. Although a subject of the Holy Roman Empire, the Bohemian king was to be the premier prince-elector (Kurfürst) of the Empire and to furnish all subsequent emperors with a bodyguard of 300 knights when they went to Rome for their coronation. By this act Frederick II also declared that he and the Empire will give the investiture for Bohemia only to a ruler approved by the people of the country.

When in 1346 King Charles IV united the rule over Bohemia and Germany in his hands, he established the Crown of Bohemia, which remained beyond the Empire's suzerainty and were not considered Imperial States.

As part of the 800th anniversary of the document's signature, the document was put on public display at the National Archive for four days in September 2012.

The American Mercury

The American Mercury was an American magazine published from 1924 to 1981. It was founded as the brainchild of H. L. Mencken and drama critic George Jean Nathan. The magazine featured writing by some of the most important writers in the United States through the 1920s and 1930s.

After a change in ownership in the 1940s, the magazine attracted conservative writers, including William F. Buckley. A second change in ownership in the 1950s turned the magazine into a far-right and virulently anti-Semitic publication.

It was published monthly in New York City. The magazine went out of business in 1981, having spent the last 25 years of its existence in decline and controversy.

History
H. L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan had previously edited The Smart Set literary magazine, when not producing their own books and, in Mencken's case, regular journalism for The Baltimore Sun. With their mutual book publisher Alfred A. Knopf Sr. serving as the publisher, Mencken and Nathan created The American Mercury as "a serious review, the gaudiest and damnedest ever seen in the Republic", as Mencken explained the name (derived from a 19th-century publication) to his old friend and contributor Theodore Dreiser:

"What we need is something that looks highly respectable outwardly. The American Mercury is almost perfect for that purpose. What will go on inside the tent is another story. You will recall that the late P. T. Barnum got away with burlesque shows by calling them moral lectures."

From 1924 through 1933, Mencken provided what he promised: elegantly irreverent observations of America, aimed at what he called "Americans realistically", those of sophisticated skepticism of enough that was popular and much that threatened to be. (Nathan was forced to resign as his co-editor a year after the magazine started.) Simeon Strunsky in The New York Times observed that, "The dead hand of the yokelry on the instinct for beauty cannot be so heavy if the handsome green and black cover of The American Mercury exists." The quote was used on the subscription form for the magazine during its heyday.

The January 1924 issue sold more than 15,000 copies, and by the end of the first year the circulation was over 42,000. In early 1928, the circulation reached a height of over 84,000, but declined steadily after the stock market crash of 1929. The magazine published writing by Conrad Aiken, Sherwood Anderson, James Branch Cabell, W. J. Cash, Lincoln Ross Colcord, Thomas Craven, Clarence Darrow, W. E. B. Du Bois, John Fante, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Albert Halper, Langston Hughes, James Weldon Johnson, Zora Neale Hurston, Sinclair Lewis, Meridel LeSueur, Edgar Lee Masters, Victor Folke Nelson, Albert Jay Nock, Eugene O'Neill, Carl Sandburg, William Saroyan, and George Schuyler. Nathan provided theater criticism, and Mencken wrote the "Editorial Notes" and "The Library", the last being book reviews and social critique, placed at the back of each volume. The magazine published other writers, from newspapermen and academics to convicts and taxi drivers, but its primary emphasis soon became non-fiction and usually satirical essays. Its "Americana" section—containing items clipped from newspapers and other magazines nationwide—became a much-imitated feature. Mencken spiced the package with aphorisms printed in the magazine's margins whenever space allowed.

Mencken's departure
Mencken retired as editor of the magazine at the end of 1933. His chosen successor was economist and literary critic Henry Hazlitt. Differences with the publisher, Alfred A. Knopf Sr., however, led Hazlitt to resign after four months. The American Mercury was next edited by Mencken's former assistant Charles Angoff. At first, the magazine was considered to be moving to the Left.

In January 1935, The American Mercury was purchased from Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., by Lawrence E. Spivak. The magazine's longtime business manager, Spivak announced that he would take an active role as publisher. Paul Palmer, former Sunday editor of the New York World, replaced Angoff as editor, and playwright Laurence Stallings was named literary editor.

Radio and television
Spivak revived the Mercury for a brief but vigorous period — Mencken, Nathan, and Angoff contributed essays to the magazine again. Spivak created a company to publish the magazine, Mercury Publications. Soon, the company began publishing other magazines, including Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine (1941) and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in 1949.

In 1945, as editor, Lawrence Spivak created a radio program called American Mercury Presents "Meet the Press". It started on television on November 6, 1947, as Meet the Press.

In 1946, the Mercury merged with the democratic-socialist magazine Common Sense. By 1950, the Mercury was owned by Clendenin J. Ryan. He changed the magazine's name to The New American Mercury. Ryan was the financial angel for Ulius Amoss, a former Office of Strategic Services agent who specialized in operating spy networks behind the Iron Curtain to destabilize Communist governments and the publisher of International Services of Information in Baltimore; his son Clendenin Jr. was a sponsor of William F. Buckley Jr. and the Young Americans for Freedom. Ryan transformed The American Mercury in a conservative direction.

Huie's experiment
William Bradford Huie—whose work had appeared in the magazine before—had gleaned the beginning of a new, post-World War II American conservative intellectual movement. He sensed that Ryan had begun to guide The American Mercury toward that direction. He also introduced more mass-appeal writing, by figures such as Reverend Billy Graham and Federal Bureau of Investigation director J. Edgar Hoover. Huie seemed en route to producing a conservative magazine. William F. Buckley Jr., whose God and Man at Yale was a best seller, worked for Huie's Mercury, as a young staffer. In 1955, Buckley founded the longer-living conservative National Review. Buckley would succeed at what Huie was unable to realize: a periodical that brought together the nascent but differing strands of this new conservative movement.

Antisemitic and racist takeover
Huie faced financial difficulties sustaining the Mercury in this new direction. In August 1952, he sold it to an occasional financial contributor, Russell Maguire, owner of the Auto-Ordnance Corporation (original producers of the Thompson submachine gun). Rather than turn over editorial control to Maguire, Huie stepped down as editor after the January 1953 issue. He was replaced by John A. Clements, a former reporter for the New York Journal and Daily Mirror, then director of public relations for the Hearst Corporation. The sale to Maguire spelled the end of The American Mercury as a mainstream magazine. It survived, steadily declining, for nearly 30 more years.

Maguire's anti-semitism led to controversy and the resignation of the magazine's top editors after he took control of the editorial process in 1955. In 1956, George Lincoln Rockwell was hired as a writer, and later became the founder of the American Nazi Party. Between 1957 and 1958, William LaVarre served as editor. In January 1959, Maguire published an American Mercury editorial supporting a theory that there was a Jewish conspiracy for world domination.

Maguire did not remain long as the magazine's owner/publisher, but other owners continued in that direction. Maguire sold the Mercury to the Defenders of the Christian Faith, Inc. (DCF), owned by Reverend Gerald Burton Winrod and located in Wichita, Kansas, in 1961. Reverend Winrod had been charged for violations of the Sedition Act of 1918, although the charges had been dropped. He had been known as "The Jayhawk Nazi" during World War II.

The DCF sold it in 1963 to the "Legion for the Survival of Freedom" of Jason Matthews. The LSF cut a deal in June 1966 with the (original) Washington Observer, finally merging with Western Destiny, a Liberty Lobby publication owned by Willis Carto and Roger Pearson, a major recipient of Pioneer Fund grants in history. Pearson was a well-known neo-Nazi and pro-Fascist who headed the World Anti-Communist League during its most blatantly pro-Fascist periods. He was a close associate of Wickliffe Draper, founder of the Pioneer Fund. By then The American Mercury was a quarterly with a circulation of barely 7,000, and its editorial content was composed almost entirely of attacks upon Jews, African Americans, and other minorities.

A 1978 article praised Adolf Hitler as the "greatest Spenglerian" and lamented his death. Another new ownership for the troubled magazine was announced in the autumn of 1979, and the spring 1980 issue celebrated Mencken's centennial, and lamented the passage of his era, "before the virus of social, racial, and sexual equality" grew in "fertile soil in the minds of most Americans". The last issue concluded with a plea for contributions to build a computer index — with information about the 15,000 most dangerous political activists, actual or alleged, in the United States.

Website
A website called The American Mercury was created in 2010. It was criticized by the Southern Poverty Law Center in the Winter 2013 edition of their magazine Intelligence Report, which called it a "Leo Frank Propaganda Site" and described it as "a resurrected and deeply anti-Semitic online version of H. L. Mencken’s defunct magazine of the same name". The Anti-Defamation League calls it "an extreme right-wing site with anti-Semitic content", while The Forward referred to it as "H.L. Mencken’s historic magazine, resurrected online by neo-Nazis several years ago", which had "published several revisionist articles to coincide with this year’s anniversary" of the Leo Frank trial.

Três Rios

Três Rios is a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. As of 2020 its population was an estimated 82,142 inhabitants, and its area is around 322 km2. The current mayor of Três Rios is Joacir Barbaglio Pereira (known as Joa) of the Liberal Party, elected in 2020 to a four-year term.

The name Três Rios, meaning "three rivers" in Portuguese, is a reference to the three important rivers in the area: the Paraíba do Sul, the Piabanha, and the Paraibuna. The city itself is located on the Paraíba, and the three rivers meet downstream, to the east. The name "Esquina do Brasil" (lit. 'street corner of Brazil') was inspired by the words of former president Juscelino Kubitschek, referring to the major highways that pass through. Três Rios

Três Rios hosts a campus of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), called the Instituto Três Rios, which offers four undergraduate programs.

Sports
There are three sport clubs in the city. América, Entrerriense and Três Rios Futebol Clube. América's football section is currently closed, but the club still disputes basketball competitions. Entrerriense and Três Rios FC's football sections are currently active. Três Rios is currently disputing Campeonato Carioca Third Level.

Inconsistency in compression rate
The article mentions twice a typical rate of 50-60%, and later it says "FLAC achieves compression rates of 30–50% for most music." anoko_moonlight (talk) 04:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you mean it has to say 40-50% to be correct? C'mon +-10%. --Kays (talk) 22:28, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * What this community member meant, or so I believe, was that it should state one approximate rate which is agreed upon and not two which partially contradict each other. --lmaxmai (talk) 00:15, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * After FLAC compression, the file size is typically reduced to 50-60% of the original size, which is the same as saying that it is reduced by 40-50%. Although previous versions may have been confusing, I think the current text in the article states this accurately without any contradiction. LiberatorG (talk) 15:24, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

How does it work?
There is no indication in the article how the codec achieves its lossless compression. That's a major omission, I'd say. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 21:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

I would like that article would list Processing Power demands on encoding FLAC, compared to other compression format like mp3.

I would like to know, do I save CPU and pay more in RAM (or whatever it is it is happening), when choosing to use FLAC as PulseAudio Home Network Broadcast Sink as compare to Mp3. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.187.193.217 (talk) 15:06, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Westchester Country Club

Westchester Country Club is a private country club located in Harrison, New York. Founded in 1922 as a destination for sportsmen, it was known to professional golfers and spectators for more than four decades as the home of the Westchester Classic," a PGA Tour favorite. Amenities include a historic clubhouse designed by architects Warren and Wetmore and two championship caliber 18-hole golf courses designed by Walter Travis. The club also boasts one nine-hole golf course, an indoor swimming pool, squash courts, grass tennis courts and a stand-alone beach, outdoor pool and restaurant facility on Manursing Island.

History
The Westchester Biltmore Country Club was the dream of hotelier John McEntee Bowman. Bowman purchased the former 650-acre Hobart Park Estate and planned a place to which businessmen from the New York metropolitan area could commute easily and pursue golf, riding, polo, tennis and more.

The West Course was designed for championship play and has hosted PGA tournaments since 1963. The South Course was originally designed for women and higher handicap golfers. Around 1997, the South Course was reconstructed with longer tees, new sand and grass bunkers, water hazards, and some new greens. The South Course is now more competitive with the West Course to accommodate low handicap golfers.

From 1927 until 1945 the club hosted the Eastern Grass Court Championships tennis tournament.

Tournaments

 * Westchester Country Club hosted the U.S. Women's Amateur in 1923, which was won by Edith Cummings.

 * Today's PGA Northern Trust tournament was played at Westchester for many years. The tournament had its beginnings at neighboring Apawamis as a one-day pro-amateur benefiting the now defunct United Hospital of Port Chester. Founded by William Mitchell "Bill" Jennings, it was the precursor of the Thunderbird Classic and quickly became a "Westchester Classic". The Thunderbird was a success in 1963 and also in 1964 and 1965. There was no tour event at Westchester in 1966, and starting in 1967, the Westchester Classic became an annual stop on the PGA Tour through 2007.

Jack Nicklaus won the rain-delayed inaugural event (and $50,000) on a Wednesday, and Steve Stricker the last, the initial event of the first FedEx Cup Playoffs. On January 14, 2008, an article in the Journal News announced the PGA Tour's desire to terminate its affiliation with Westchester Country Club. The decision was made primarily because of Tiger Woods' absence in the tournament in 2007 (following his consecutive victories in the WGC-Bridgestone and PGA Championship), and the tournament's subsequent low TV ratings and low attendance. On January 26, a compromise agreement was made between the club and the PGA Tour at a town hall meeting at the club; WCC was paid $1.1 million to move the event from Harrison to Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey, for 2008. The tournament name has changed several times since then due to sponsorship switches.

 * In a second compromise agreement, the PGA Tour awarded Westchester a major tournament on the Champions Tour. The Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship was played on the renovated West Course in 2011, won by Fred Couples.

 * In June 2015, Westchester hosted its first LPGA major, the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, won by Inbee Park.

 * Westchester hosted a second U.S. Women's Amateur in 2021.

 * Added, and thanks. That link led me to an archive of Animerica with an online archive of an Escaflowne Q&A I'd used in the article from the printed Animerica issue. Having an online copy will make it easier for future GA/FA reviews.-- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 01:42, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Incorrect Citation?
Unless there was a reprint that I'm not familiar with, the first article cited ("Animerica Spotlight: Cardcaptor Sakura") was published in November 2000, not December 2008. --Cjovalle (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC).

Toonami
Added this page to the Toonami category. I had done this previously but it was removed due to the source of it having been on toonami not being cited. Kind of difficult to cite a past tv lineup, but I did find a video of the intro for the show on toonami proving it had aired on toonami. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_njLnot0lwo Miles Blues (talk · contribs) 23:00, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Ideas

 * Consider expanding in the lead "The manga was originally serialized in Nakayoshi from the May 1996 to June 2000 issues". Something like "The manga was originally serialized monthly in Nakayoshi from the May 1996 until the June 2000 issue" would clear up any assumption of how regularly and how many times it appeared in Nakayoshi.
 * "Critics praised the manga for its creativity and has been described as a quintessential shōjo manga". Change it to make sense. "Critics praised the manga for its creativity and described it as a quintessential shōjo manga" is how I would interpret it.
 * Consider rewording "Heavily edited and dubbed, the series was renamed Cardcaptors and aired 39 episodes..." It might read better if the order was changed "Heavily edited and dubbed into 39 episodes, the series was renamed Cardcaptors and aired..."
 * "so fans could think "I want to be like her." Unless this is a quote from Nakayoshi, it would be better to use formal language. Something like "so that fans could relate to her" may be more appropriate. There is an overuse of informal prose as opposed to encyclopedic prose, for example, "going so far as to try to".

Content is excellent. Some parts need rewording.--Squilibob (talk) 10:54, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The "I want to be like her" was a direct quote, worded by Nanase Ohkawa, but I can see it would probably be better to paraphrase it, and probably other quotes used. I'll get on fixing these problems, though really it's going to take someone not involved in the article.--  十  八  22:19, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that List of Cardcaptor Sakura video games be merged into Cardcaptor Sakura. I think that the content in the video-game article can easily be incorporated in the main article, and the main article is of a reasonable size in which the merging will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Furthermore, the video game article is quite short, and unlikely to grow larger barring a revival or sequel by Clamp. --User:WoodElf 05:01, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have mixed feelings about this. The reason I created the article was so I could split off most of the video game info from this article, and put it in a standard format. But I can see how it could be merged back into this article, especially because the mention of the video games is fairly short. If it were merged, the video games would have to get their own subsection, but that's fine.--  十  八  05:21, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is what I thought too. We should have a "Video Game" subheading. We can place all the information in a wikitable with headings: Title | Release date | Platform | Notes. The video game article looks larger than it actually is because of the large font and white space. --User:WoodElf 05:59, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. --User:WoodElf 06:57, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Tomoyo's ('Madison's') lesbian crush on Sakura
In the original Japanese version of Cardcaptor, Tomoyo, her best friend, has very, very, obvious feelings for Sakura, which (as usual) were completely removed from the dubbed version. For example, in their first proper scene together in episode one, Tomoyo is quite plainly smitten with her and talks about how 'sweet' and 'cute' she is from almost the very moment she is introduced. Indeed, their first proper conversation starts off with Tomoyo openly telling Sakura that she likes her; "You were so cute back there, Sakura-chan" and it is quite plain what she means from the body-language. Tomoyo goes on to tell her that she wishes she could have "recorded that moment (of cuteness)" on tape or camera. Sakura then explains (via internal monologue) that Tomo likes videoing and taking pictures - particularly of Sakura. Sakura says that Tomo could easily find something more interesting to photograph than her - to which Tomo dreamily answers that there is "isn't anything more interesting, or cuter, than you, Sakura!", while looking off into the distance and clutching her hands to her face.

All of which was (crudely) cut out in the dub, including Tomo's infatuated body language - and Sakura's awkward embarrassment at being the object of another girl's affection, in favour of Tomo announcing how she is going to "Make a documentary on the life of a fourth grade girl". I think this and the other 'controversial' elements of the show should have their own section. Hadashi (talk) 13:14, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If there is evidence of it being controversial from reliable, third-party sources, then they can be added in the reception section where it talks of the criticism the Cardcaptors dub received.--  十  八  20:35, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I think this should do it.LINK

"her best friend and cousin Tomoyo Daidouji"
Tomoyo and Sakura are second cousins (their mothers were cousins). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.87.51.64 (talk) 21:43, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Shortening the plot
I think we can make the plot even shorter somehow but the only way i can think of is if we also adding a character section to shorten some of the introduction such as Syaoran Li seems a bit difficult to manage without removing it almost entirely. I do believe we shorten this upto at least 3-2 paragraphs. What do you think? The last two paragraphs are rather messy.Lucia Black (talk) 04:47, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I tried my best to shorten it to include only the most important details. I personally don't think we need a separate character section, since the character list is already linked in the section.--  十  八  11:50, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Delete list of cardcaptor sakura clow cards
I made another page about this so I think we should delete the redirect Sillycap (talk) 05:28, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Per the prior result at Articles for deletion/Clow Cards, an article on the clow cards does not deserve a separate article as they are not notable in their own right outside of the series itself; they are merely as aspect of the series' plot, and articles should not only revolve around plot-related elements or be a hotbed for trivia. Besides, the episode summaries do a good job of explaining what cards were in what episodes without having a separate, redundant list with the same information.--  十  八  10:41, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

About the title of the new manga
The title of the new manga is not officially translated in english, but in the article appears as "Clear Card Arc". The Japanese title in romanji is "Kādokyaputā Sakura Kuria Kado-hen" (in kanji: カ ー ド キ ャ プ タ ー さ く ら ク リ ア カ ー ド 編). So the literal translation of the title is "Clear Card Edition" (in "Clear Card-hen", 編 is the kanji for "Edition"). I corrected the title in this way, but also decided to open this topic to discuss future discrepancies on this. JBOOK17 (talk) 12:19, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The kanji "編", while literally translating to "edition", "editing" or to "put something in order", when used as a subtitle to any manga is supposed to represent a "story arc", a "part" or "volume" of a book, therefore I argue that the correct translation would be "Clear Card Arc", or any other term that represents a story saga. I'll give two examples, "InuYasha: Kanketsu Hen", which was translated as "InuYasha: The Final Act": https://myanimelist.net/anime/6811/InuYasha__Kanketsu-hen; and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Majū Hen", which was translated as "Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc": https://myanimelist.net/manga/90309/Mahou_Shoujo_Madoka%E2%98%85Magica__Majuu-hen.

Confused with review from Robert Nguyen
"atypical shōjo" manga, which puts an "emphasis on the emotions of the character." → Is this really what Robert Nguyen wanted to say about CCS or it just hist typo in ANN? Because I think a typical shōjo is about emotions of the character, isn't it? Why him said it "atypical" (same untypical if I am not wrong)? -- minhhuy (talk) 17:32, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

The synopsis of the manga is confused with the anime
"Ten-year-old Sakura Kinomoto accidentally releases..." In the manga, the book is empty besides one card when she finds it; she is not to blame for scattering the cards.

"Sakura is suddenly unable to use the Clow Cards and transforms her wand..." In the manga, the wand transforms during Yue's test. Mizuki's moon bell combines with the wand to give it the new form.

"Eriol tells Sakura that he aided her in converting the cards so they would not lose their magic powers." In the manga there was no serious risk of the cards losing their magic. That may have been mentioned, I don't remember, but there were so few cards and the manga naturally was fast-paced so this was not an active conflict like in the anime. Eriol's motivation in the manga is testing and wanting to pass the torch to Sakura, who is the daughter of Clow's other reincarnation.

"Two years later, Syaoran moves back to Tomoeda permanently." It's one year later; we see their fourth grade and fifth grade years, then there is a time skip to the beginning of the first year of middle school (7th grade).

The anime on points of "lore" is a significant revision of the manga, and this synopsis confuses the plots of the two. 2600:8805:4905:8A00:408:2549:940E:7F3E (talk) 23:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

California State Route 71

State Route 71 (SR 71) is a 15 mi state highway in the U.S. state of California. Serving Riverside, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles counties, it runs from SR 91 in Corona to the Kellogg Interchange with I-10 and SR 57 on the border of Pomona and San Dimas. The segment from SR 91 to SR 83 in Chino Hills is called the Corona Freeway, formerly the Corona Expressway and before then the Temescal Freeway. SR 71 is designated as the Chino Valley Freeway between SR 83 and the Kellogg Interchange.

Route description
Beginning at its southern terminus, SR 91 in Corona, SR 71 is an expressway for a half-mile when it intersects with Pomona Rincon Road. After this intersection, SR 71 becomes a freeway up to Rio Rancho Road before reverting to an expressway up to Mission Boulevard. (Previously, it was an expressway until its northern terminus, but this segment was upgraded to a freeway in 2012.) The route becomes a short freeway for about a mile until it meets at the Kellogg Interchange in San Dimas, where it terminates at I-10 and SR 57.

As of December 2016, all traffic signals were removed. Traffic entering and exiting the roads that lead into the nearby neighborhoods (North Ranch Road, Old Pomona Road, and Phillips Drive) may no longer enter or exit northbound due to added barriers in the highway's median. However, until 2021, southbound traffic could use these streets. (North Ranch Road, Old Pomona Road, and Phillips Drive can enter the highway via a stop sign.) These streets have been completely closed to southbound access as of 2021. Just south of the Mission Boulevard exit, all aspects of the highway, such as its alignment, lane width, pavement, barriers, and access, 'upgrade' to freeway standards.

The section of the highway between Corona and Chino is notorious for thick winter fogs at dawn and dusk, resulting in many automobile collisions when drivers fail to slow down due to reduced visibility. Residents of Los Serranos (now Chino Hills) recall being awakened by sounds of crinkling bumpers, fenders, and headlights.

As this freeway/expressway serves as an important northwest-southeast corridor between the cities in the Pomona and San Gabriel valleys (eastern Los Angeles County) and the cities of western Riverside County, it is heavily traveled. It is used as an alternative to SR 57 (the Orange Freeway) situated to the west and I-15 (the Ontario Freeway) located to the east.

When the route runs through Chino Hills and Chino, there is a high-occupancy vehicle lane available for use; however, this carpool lane ends when the route enters Riverside County (to the south) and Los Angeles County (to the north). The route is a four-lane highway between SR 91 and Central Avenue (excluding HOV lanes), a six-lane highway (excluding HOV lanes) from Central Avenue to SR 60, and again a four-lane highway from SR 60 to I-10/SR 57.

SR 71 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System, and is part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration. SR 71 is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System; however, it is not designated as a scenic highway by Caltrans.

History
The original routing of SR 71, according to the 1934 listing, was from US 80 (now I-8), in San Diego north to US 66 (now SR 66), near Claremont via Lake Elsinore and Temecula. The route between Claremont/Pomona and Lake Elsinore roughly followed the path of the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach line. When the portion between San Diego and Temecula was redesignated US 395, SR 71 was rerouted to run from Pomona to Aguanga. In 1973, it was cut back to its present terminus in Corona, with the portion between Corona and Temecula becoming I-15 and the portion between Temecula and Aguanga becoming SR 79 and SR 371. The early section of the Chino Valley Freeway was built in 1971 from the Kellogg Interchange to SR 60 (the Pomona Freeway). The section from SR 60 to SR 91 (the Riverside Freeway) was completed in March 1998.

In September 2008, construction began on the Mission 71 Project in Pomona. A bridge was constructed to allow Mission Boulevard to pass over SR 71, which now has entrance and exit ramps to Mission. Also, the intersection with Ninth Street was closed. The freeway was extended south to the former intersection at Ninth Street, where it resumes expressway status to the intersection with Old Pomona Road. The construction project was completed in December 2011.

Future
The City of Pomona is currently working with Caltrans to convert the rest of SR 71 within its borders from its current status as a four-lane expressway to a full eight-lane freeway. This project is underway and is expected to be fully complete by 2027. Additionally, the Riverside County Transportation Commission is constructing a two-lane flyover ramp between eastbound SR 91 and northbound SR 71 to replace the current one-lane loop ramp.

Talk:Cardcaptor Sakura characters

Is this writeup necessary?
Does "Characters" really need to be separated from Cardcaptor Sakura into its own page? I know the characters list is long, but I don't think it particularly warrants separating out. Would you mind if I moved it back to how it was? --Jonathan Drain 01:58, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Adding the characters back one to the main page makes it rather long and tedious (at least in terms of appearence. Both the X/1999 and Chobits pages did the same thing though.Anon

Less is more
I do think that these character write-ups need to be more brief. Wikipedia is not meant to document every last detail about its articles. Having too much minor detail is quickly becoming a problem (really, already is a problem) with most anime articles such as these. We are not trying to re-tell the story here. When you add information, ask yourself, who will be referencing these articles and why? As it is now, most of this information is only useful to people who've already seen the anime and thus already know the information. For someone who hasn't seen the anime, the information is too detailed to hold any relevance (like hearing an inside joke when you're not on the inside). Having this much information hurts the article more than it helps. --Ned Scott 03:44, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Since I'm on a personal project to expand the main character articles, I do plan to deprecate this article in the future to just a "List of Characters in Cardcaptor Sakura." That way this article can be most brief, and anyone wanting detail can reference the individual character pages.  And I will try to stay on a general level as far as presentation of information, but that doesn't mean detailed sections shouldn't be made available if such clarification is necessary.. (I suppose it's mostly a subjective matter, which makes it difficult.) --Crisu 08:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Just don't start flaming CC, you need to do your homework before starting making comments related to CC. I am from the UK and have watched both english dub layouts (i won't point fingers at companies here since this is Wikipedia) -Dynamo_ace Talk

Deprecation complete
I've created and written new articles for all the listed characters here who didn't have an article previously. All relevant information in this article has been adapted/merged into the new articles. All that is left here (as of Part 6) is a list of characters, which is then short enough to move back to the main CCS page. This article is now a redirect to the characters section in the main page. --Crisu 02:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Dewclaw

Importance of dewclaws in cats
I think something should be made for cats, since their dewclaws are used a lot more (hunting, climbing, etc.) -WS6Lethal —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ws6lethal (talk • contribs) 17:02, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Lab and cat
MY LAB HAS HIS AND DOING FINE, IF NOT BROKE DONT FIX!! Shouldn't this be a biology article? It's definitely not just dogs; I'm staring at my cat's dewclaw right now.

 * Stop staring--don't you know that's rude? :-) Sure, the intro paragraph states that it occurs on mammals, but dogs is all the info that's been added.  Additional categories would be good to add, but it's nice to also have it in the dog category so that it shows up in the appropriate category list.  Elf | Talk 19:12, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

POV
Latest edits are quite anti-dewclaw-removal; I have tried to rewrite so that article is more NPOV. I'd say, based on those edits, that this person has never been around active dogs who have had repeated problems with tearing and breaking of the dewclaw, often leading to the decision to remove them rather than keeping the dog in continuous pain. It's not something that happens in most dogs, but it most certainly does happen. Elf | Talk 04:26, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

lacking dewclaws
Don't some dogs ie. Rhodesian Ridgebacks, altogether lack dewclaws?

 * Some dogs are born w/out dewclaws. Might apply in general to certain breeds but I don't know for sure offhand which. Elf | Talk 19:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

The AKC web site indicates for Ridgebacks that "Dewclaws may be removed" and Ridgeback breeder web sites tout that their puppies have had their dewclaws removed. This would indicate to me that they are born with dewclaws. Most dogs are born without rear dewclaws, however rear dewclaws are an acceptable characteristic in the Great Pyrenees. When a dewclaw is removed just after birth there is often little to no visible trace of a dewclaw which may lead someone to believe that it was born without. My Labrador Retriever had no sign of a front dewclaw but I know that the breeder had removed them at birth. --mtnkjn 20:05, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Rear vs. Front dewclaws in dogs
This article makes no distinction between front and rear dewclaws. Rear dewclaws appear occasionally in many breeds and are an accepted characteristic in breeds such as the Great Pyrenees. The article states that "dewclaws are a weak digit, barely attached to the leg" which in my experience is more true of rear dewclaws than front. The front dewclaws of my dogs contain a completely formed bone and are a very "strong" digit. My dogs obviously use this digit/claw as can be seen by the wear. On the other hand, the 6 month old mix breed that I rescued when she was 3 months old had her rear dewclaws removed yesterday while she was being spayed. Her rear dewclaws contained no bone and were dangling only by a thin piece of flesh and skin since birth. My dogs accompany me on backpacking trips in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The jagged rocks on the trails would easily rip a dewclaw like hers while we were miles/days from the nearest vet. I would question the competence of anyone that recommended that I not have her rear dewclaws removed. Perhaps if a dog only walks on carpet, lawn, and city sidewalks this would be good advice, but very bad advice for my circumstances and for active field hunting dogs. --mtnkjn 16:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Stub cat.
Should this article (which is a stub) be labeled as a carnivora stub? It's currently labeled as a mammal stub, and it's mostly about dogs. 128.139.226.37 09:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * As mentioned at the top of this Talk page, currently the information is mostly about dogs, but information about other animals may be added (and hopefully will be). If you open the Hoof article you'll find that other animals also have dewclaws. Retodon8 (talk) 02:51, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Inside or outside of foot?
The current photos and text don't explain whether this claw is on the inside of the foot - comparable to human thumbs, or the outside.

It's the inside. A dewclaw is a hallux and therefore the first digit. The only example I can think of of a halluxiform digit on the outside is on some lizards (notably the american godzilla)
 * It was purely artistic license on the part of Patrick Tatopoulos,it should be noted that the dewclaw is not entirely vestigal,it is used in the mating act.Sochwa 23:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Dirt Jobs (Episode 6x10) reference
There was a dewclaw removal on sled dog puppies no the recent Dirty Jobs episode. This is what brought me to this article. The article doesn't seem to chime with what happens in the episode, especially regarding the necessity and complexity of the procedure. Particularly the mention of local anesthetic seems to contradict what happens in reality (in non-pet animals at least). Personally I'd love to know more about this, and perhaps this page will get more traffic due to this episode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.158.58.242 (talk) 21:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Removed by a vet? Not always...
Referring to "that is with the dewclaws removed (as by a vet)", I have seen people remove the dew claws themselves. I'm not by any means saying this is alright, as I've also read about a puppy dying because the mom wouldn't stop licking the wound so it never clotted, but I thought it should be mentioned, and the risks also mentioned.

Also, apparently some dogs can be born without dew claws. I recently bred a shih tzu with an american cocker spaniel and the puppies had some dew claws on some feet and no dew claws on others, I found it fascinating. I know from having a litter of american cocker spaniels that they have dew claws and are usually removed from other people, we didn't do this, however I haven't had a litter of shih tzu's so I don't know if they had missing dew claws or not. We still have one of the puppies with us and I checked his feet, he has two dew claws on his front paws and none on the back, so not all breeds have dew claws on all of their paws. Our shih tzu has all four and one on his back foot is just there by tissue, there is no attachment to the leg. I think this should be added that where dewclaws and their numbers vary or something like that.

Also, "There is also some debate as to whether dewclaws should be surgically removed." Should this really need a citation? Anyone in the dog world knows everyone is always at each others necks when it comes to this, as well as other subjects. ItsWolfeh (talk) 01:51, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Scientific Information
Information on what led to the dewclaw becoming vestigial would be welcome. Provide examples of other quadrupeds with a similar features, including any with a functional use of the digit. Clearly, this is a trait that had a function at some point in the evolutionary lineage of the sited domestic breeds. Was domestication itself what led to the digit becoming vestigial? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.113.175.15 (talk) 21:05, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I was linked from Deinocheirus, so it is not exclusively from domestication. Actually, coverage of fossil dewclaws would be appreciated; I would do the research myself if I had the time. Arlo James Barnes 06:34, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Inaccurate information and irrelevant citation on dewclaw removal
This is badly written:
 * Others say the pain of removing a dewclaw is far greater than any other risk.[citation needed]

First, I've never heard anyone say that. The risks involved with NOT removing a dewclaw include tearing of the skin, having a nail rip out, and infection.

Second, that sentence doesn't make sense! "The pain of X is greater than any other risk." Think about that. The writer is comparing pain to risk as though they're the same thing. You might as well claim your headache hurts more than your odds of winning the lottery. So not only is the statement unsupported, it's also nonsensical.

Then there's the next sentence:
 * For this reason, removal of dewclaws is illegal in many countries.[6]

Again, I've not heard of this being the case in any country (my job involves handling animal import and export between the U.S. and various countries). But more importantly, the citation is nonsense. If you follow the link (http://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/1996/19960247) you'll find it's entirely in Finnish. If you translate and read it you can see that it doesn't forbid dewclaw removal. Here's the relevant passage:
 * Surgery or other similar causes pain measure performed on the animal only if it is an animal disease or any other similar reason necessary.

Basically, it's saying you can only have surgery (or similarly painful procedures) performed if it prevents or treats disease or injury. Dewclaw removal can prevent some very painful injuries.

It looks like someone is pushing their personal views in a very ham-fisted manner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Volkspider (talk • contribs) 19:24, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Dog dewclaw facilitates climbing
I have no support for this other than personal witnessing. I was watching my sister's Labrador Retrievers one time and took them to a river to let them swim. I was completely amazed when suddenly the gold Lab climbed maybe a 5-8 foot almost vertical riverbank to get out. Much more than when running, that dewclaw had to be making contact and gripping the "wall" of the riverbank in order to pull herself up. I had no idea that a dog, particularly of that much size, had the ability to do a vertical climb like that with that much agility and speed (this was a "city" dog, never even trained or used for hunting, etc.). That dog definitely still had her dewclaws, and I'm betting that occasional climbing is the purpose for them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliekadams (talk • contribs) 14:03, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Noah John Rondeau

Untitled
Quick note on my recent edit: to improve a sentence about "at least one of [the journals] were in an indecipherable code", I split one paragraph into three and added some more precise information.

About a decade ago, I spent quite a bit of time transcribing into plaintext about a dozen of Rondeau's annual encoded and half-encoded journals. So I can authoritatively testify that there was more than one coded journal, and that they weren't quite "indecipherable".

Hope that doesn't put me too close to the subject -- I tried hard not to add too much detail... though I'm tempted to supply a non-copyrighted sample image to show what the code looked like; anyone have comments or advice on whether this is a worthwhile addition? --dvgrn 02:03, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
