Engel Stadium

Engel Stadium is a stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The stadium was built in 1930 and holds 12,000 people. It was the home of the Chattanooga Lookouts until 1999 when they moved to their current stadium, AT&T Field. The former Tennessee Temple University held its home games at Engel after the Lookouts left. Engel Stadium was named for longtime President of the Chattanooga Lookouts, Joe Engel.

The ballpark is located at 1130 E. 3rd Street, at the corner of O'Neal Street, adjacent to the historic Fort Wood neighborhood, Norfolk Southern's DeButts Yard, and Erlanger Hospital.

History
In 1929, Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators sent a young scout by the name of Joe Engel to the South to find a home for the club's first minor league affiliate. First, Engel went to Atlanta with cash in hand to buy the Atlanta Crackers, but for reasons unknown he backed out and came north to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Engel not only bought the Chattanooga Lookouts from Sammy Strang, but also replaced their ballpark, Andrews Field with a state-of-the-art stadium at a cost of $150,000.

Andrews Field had been the team's home since 1911. (Their first two seasons, 1909 and 1910, they played their games at Chamberlain Field.) Andrews was on the same block as Engel Stadium, with home plate in the opposite corner. The rebuilding effort was sufficiently completed to allow the new facility to open for exhibition play on March 23, 1930. The regular season opener was April 15, 1930.

Engel Stadium featured a spacious outfield, especially the corner to the left of straightaway center field, which was posted as 471 feet. The gradual rise of Third Street along the left field wall necessitated a "terrace" or hill to make up the difference in grade between the field and the street. The terrace contained the word "LOOKOUTS" in large letters. Harmon Killebrew is said to be the only man to hit a ball over the deepest part of the outfield.

Many of Joe Engel's famous antics also took place at Engel Stadium, gaining him the nickname, "The Barnum of Baseball." In 1931, the New York Yankees played an exhibition game at Engel Stadium against the Lookouts. During the game, a 17-year-old girl named Jackie Mitchell pitched for the Lookouts, striking out Major League greats Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. In 1936, a record crowd of 24,624 fans crammed into the park that only held 12,000 seats for the chance of winning a house in the middle of the Great Depression. The winning ticket was not at the game. On Opening Day in 1938, Joe Engel debuted his popular "Wild Elephant Hunt" prior to the game. It was such a success, he took it to ballparks throughout the South.

Many notables have played on the field, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron, Satchel Paige, Willie Mays, Harmon Killebrew, Ferguson Jenkins, Kiki Cuyler, and Rogers Hornsby.

When the Lookouts could not find an affiliate from 1966 to 1975, the Stadium began to deteriorate. Despite amateur games being played at Engel day and night all summer long, it was not being properly maintained. In 1972, Chattanooga News Free Press columnist Allan Morris wrote that "paint is peeling off the walls, the floor is filthy, the roof is falling down, and it looks like a tornado hit the place." When Woody Reid bought the club in 1976 and gained a Major League affiliate in the Oakland Athletics, he hosted "Sparkle Days" at the stadium, where fans volunteered their time to fixing up Engel.

In the winter of 1988, Engel Stadium underwent its first major renovation. The $2 million project called for a new look to the exterior of the stadium, a two-story front office building built down the first base line, a new press box on top of the roof, a restaurant in the concourse with a view of the field, and a resurfaced field. "We were trying to do things in a real haphazard way", said Lookouts General Manager Bill Lee. The renovation resulted in a half-million dollar lawsuit by the Lookouts against the city and county for installing a field that did not drain properly.

In the winter of 1994, Frank Burke bought the Lookouts. Years later he would say, "Finding Engel Stadium was a bit like falling in love: initially, you don't see some of the downsides." The downside was that Engel Stadium was becoming so costly to keep up that he could not turn a profit. By 1998, the situation got so severe that Burke agreed to fund a new ballpark on top of Hawk Hill, so long as he could sell 1,800 season tickets and 10 luxury boxes for his new park by February 4, 1999. Burke met his goal a week early and the Lookouts played their last game at Engel Stadium on September 10, 1999.

In 2000, Hamilton County and the city of Chattanooga assumed joint ownership of Engel Stadium. It was subsequently leased to Tennessee Temple University for use as their baseball team's home field. The field was modified, with a fence running across the left and center fields to reduce the dimensions of the playing field. The terrace still exists, beyond the inner fence, and covered with grass, the "LOOKOUTS" having been removed.

In 2008, UT Chattanooga acquired the property. The University will build a state-of-the-art track and field complex in the current parking lot and partner with the Engel Foundation in the restoration of the Stadium. On April 5, 2011 the City of Chattanooga passed an interim agreement allowing UTC to take control of the Stadium, pending final approval of the state government. Vice Chancellor Richard Brown announced plans to work with The Engel Foundation to restore the Stadium, which was damaged during a tornado in April 2011.

In 2012, Engel Stadium was used as the movie set for the motion picture 42, the life story of Jackie Robinson. Much of the entire film's baseball action was shot at Engel Stadium, which also doubled for Brooklyn's Ebbetts Field. On July 18, 2012 crews began demolition to restore the ballpark back to its historical accuracy after construction was done for the movie that altered the ballpark, including moving the location of the ball fields.

The Engel Foundation
In April 2009, The Engel Foundation was formed to restore, preserve, promote, and revitalize Engel Stadium. "It is just kind of sitting there", said Foundation director Janna Jahn. "It is not getting the maintenance it needs. It is not being promoted." In its short existence, the Foundation has hosted a Great Spaces Open House at the Stadium that was attended by over a hundred people, two Legends Baseball Camps led by former major leaguers Steve Trout, Rick Honeycutt, Willie Wilson, and Jay Johnstone, and on December 14, 2009, Engel Stadium was approved as a site on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Engel Foundation plans to raise $150,000 in needed repairs. Once that is accomplished, the Foundation wants to promote Engel as a destination for events from Little League Baseball, to middle/ high school baseball to adult league baseball. The venue could also serve as a museum to Chattanooga baseball, a site for concerts, and other community events.

In May 2013 the Foundation announced that the stadium would be renovated and ready to hold baseball games by the 2014 season. The foundation released a statement claiming that $200,000 will be necessary to complete the renovations.

Wade Stadium

Wade Stadium is a baseball park located near the intersection of Grand Avenue and 34th Avenue West in the West Duluth neighborhood of Duluth, Minnesota. The stadium was built in 1941 and holds 4,200 people. It is the home of the Duluth Huskies of the Northwoods League and The College of St. Scholastica baseball team who have won 19 straight Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) regular season and 18 straight post-season titles. "The Wade", as it is sometimes called by fans, was also the home of the Duluth–Superior Dukes of the reincarnated Northern League from 1993 until 2002, and the home of Dukes of the original Northern League from 1941 until 1970. One of a dying breed of Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed stadiums, "The Wade" is noted for its short distances (especially from home plate to center field), its high fences, and the cool, damp weather generated by nearby Lake Superior.

History

During the Great Depression, the U.S. federal government used the WPA to fund projects to boost employment. One of these projects was the removal of the brick roadbed from Grand Avenue, which was then paved with asphalt. During the fall of 1940, road crews removed 381,000 bricks from the surface of Grand Avenue. Another WPA crew used these bricks to build Wade Stadium.

The decision to build Wade Stadium originated with a 1938 study commissioned by Walter Chantigney, chairman of Duluth's Citywide All-Sports committee. The study found that the Duluth Duke's existing stadium, Athletic Park, was obsolete. According to the study:

"Duluth does not have a suitable stadium for professional baseball. The present athletic park, privately owned and used by Duluth's professional team, has too small a capacity, the seats are unsuitable, the sanitary facilities are seriously inadequate and the playing field is smaller than regulation size. ..."

Chantigney gathered more than 7,500 signatures to place a construction bond measure on the November, 1938, ballot. After voters approved the bond measure, money was gathered over the next two years from bond sales, the state of Minnesota, and the WPA. The site selected for the new stadium was located directly across Grand Avenue from Athletic Park.

A construction budget totaling $163,232 was set. But, due to cost overruns, the final cost of the stadium was $230,880. During construction, the project received several bailouts. One bailout came from Duluth's newly elected mayor, Edward H. Hatch, who purchased the materials needed to finish construction.

The stadium's original name was Duluth All-Sports Municipal Stadium. It was renamed Wade Municipal Stadium in 1954 in honor of former Duluth Dukes owner Frank Wade, who died in 1953.

Tenancy
The Duluth Dukes played their first game in the new stadium on July 16, 1941. Their first opponent was their local rival, the Superior Blues. When the Blues folded in 1955, the Dukes (known as the White Sox during the 1956–59 seasons) became the Duluth–Superior Dukes. The original Dukes played in Wade Stadium from 1941 through the 1970 season. The only break came during the 1943–45 seasons when the Northern League suspended play due to World War II. The stadium was the home of three teams in the Twin Ports League, the only Class E league in the history of baseball, in 1943.

When television began carrying Major League Baseball games in the 1950s, minor league baseball suffered from a drop in advertising revenue. Many of the smaller minor leagues around the country folded. The Northern League became one of these casualties when it was announced prior to the 1971 season that it was ceasing operations. After the original Northern League disbanded, the stadium was rarely used over the next twelve years. It was being threatened with demolition when the newly created Northern League awarded Duluth a franchise in 1993. The Stadium has had a tenant every year since. When the Dukes moved out of the Stadium in 2002, the void was filled almost immediately by the Huskies.

MAC Commonwealth Conference

The MAC Commonwealth, in full Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth, is an intercollegiate athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA's Division III. It is one of the three conferences that operate under the umbrella of the Middle Atlantic Conferences; the others being the MAC Freedom and the Middle Atlantic Conference, a grouping used for some sports that consists of MAC Commonwealth and MAC Freedom schools. Member institutions are located in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Member schools
The conference has had two significant membership changes in the 2020s. First, the MAC announced in April 2019 that York College of Pennsylvania would join from the Capital Athletic Conference in 2020. The following month, the MAC announced that upon York's arrival, the MAC Commonwealth and MAC Freedom would be realigned so that each would have 9 members. Eastern moved from the MAC Freedom to the MAC Commonwealth, while Arcadia and Lycoming moved in the opposite direction. Then in 2023, Lycoming and Wilkes left both the MAC Freedom and the overall MAC, leading the MAC to move Lebanon Valley from MAC Commonwealth to MAC Freedom in order to balance the membership numbers.

Current members
The MAC Commonwealth currently has eight full members, all are private schools:

Talk:Shinra/Archive 1

Shinra Executives
I will be adding a section on the Shinra Execs, lets try and get all the shinra stuff we can under the heading of Shinra. Gavin Scott 17:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Query
A ruthless electric power company? Sounds kinda strange.… →  Jarlaxle Artemis   23:55, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Shin-Ra Electric Power Company is "神羅カンパニー" in Japanese. An ancient Korean kingdom name is "新羅", not "神羅". 222.147.253.248 14:30, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I agree, descriing Shinra as ruthless is a little odd, after all this is the opinion we get only from anti-shinra factions. Though I suppose Rufus did show it to be a little ruthless...

Etymology and such
"Trivia" regarding the name "Shinra" was a bit of a mess, so I attempted to clean it up somewhat... I'm not sure how relevant these items are:

Shin-Ra has also been known to mean "God's Network"
 * "Shin-Ra" is written in Chinese Hanzi (or 'kanjii') And refer's as "Shen Luo." "Shen" means god/ spirit in Chinese. "Luo" has several meanings, for instance: "a net to catch birds in"; "to display"; "a sieve"; or "gauze" (a type of silk).
 * "Shinra" is also the on-reading of "新羅". This word is usually read shiragi and is the Japanese name of Silla, an ancient Korean kingdom.
 * Shinra comes from Egyptian mythology. A monster called Shinra is described as a huge, dark vampire.

Would this replacement be appropriate?

 * "Shin-Ra" is written with the Japanese kanji 神羅. This does not appear to be an actual Japanese surname, although its on-reading is the same as many others. The individual kanji mean "god"/"divine" and "Rome"/"silk". Exactly why this name was chosen and what it might imply are matters of some discussion among fans.
 * The name is Romanized as "Shin-Ra" in official Japanese materials. The reasons for this (as opposed to the straightforward "Shinra") may be simply for stylistic reasons.

If not, just slap me around with a large, smelly sea bass and revert what you feel should be kept... Reichu 01:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

"matters of some discussion among fans", huh? You mean it isn't completely obvious from the meaning of the name and the playing of even a small portion of the game, that Shin-Ra is trying to capture the gods of the earth? --Max B-Z

 * When I first saw the Chinese characters for Shinra, the words "God trap" or "God is trapped" immediately registered on my mind. Just as a net is used to capture fish, this corporation is used to capture the gods.  I think this interpretation is very important. Allentchang 17:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

 * But I'm pretty sure that the second part (the Luo) is pretty much just a regular surname (at least in Chinese anyways).

Hang on...
Shin (new) + Ra (egyptian sun god) = new god Jehova (jewish god) + Nova (new) = new god

 * unrelated: Jehovah is the name for God, (Christian, Jewish), not just "Jewish".Myrockstar 10:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Popular culture
I removed this:
 * In popular culture, the term "shinra" is applied to a large and powerful conglomerate which abuses its monopoly powers. Microsoft is often the recipient of the term.

...which was also slapped with. I suppose people who have played the game a lot understand what a company is like if it's compared to Shin-Ra, but damn me if I have ever heard it be used in "popular culture" to generally describe anything. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 11:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a megacorp, so that term can cover any colloquial "shinra" definitions. Incidentally, even ig shinra is a popular or used term outside of the Final Fantasy VII fandom, it would still be synonymous and should be noticed as such -- assuming it were true, that is. Eluchil  12:02, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Junon Cannon/Sister Ray

 * The Shin-Ra naval base over the fishing town of Junon was equipped with an enormous cannon called the "Sister Ray"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the cannon was never called the Sister Ray whilst it was located in Junon. It was only until it was transported to Midgar that Scarlet decided to rename it "Sister Ray". Furthermore, I think the game only called it the Mako Cannon prior to its renaming, but I'm guessing there.

And whilst I'm at it, I guess, should this section mention that the cannon was powered by the Huge Materia whilst in Junon? Resakov 22:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, When Tifa runs down the cannon's barrel, it cleary says Sister Ray. I've always figured Scarlet's thing was a mistranslation, and that she was really reminding him it was called Sister Ray, rather than naming it right then. Made2Fade 09:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Shinra vs. Shin-Ra
Shouldn't this be moved to Shinra? Sure, all the full-motion videos use the term "Shin-Ra", but it's never referred to as "Shin-Ra" by any of the characters in the official English localizations; it's always "Shinra". Even in the recent English release of Advent Children, it was spelled "Shinra" on the subtitles. So shouldn't the article be moved to Shinra? Geg 16:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Picture
Uh..in the picture of the execs someone translated it from the Japanese and the picture of Hojo is labeled Reno.. Cao Wei 05:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

uses of mako,
under uses of mako, mako reactor,

it says the names of the thirteen reactors, but thay are already stated above, should someone delete them?

Shin-Ra as a good company
Well, it have sort of an shopping in it's three first floors. =) Lol... Anyway, it probably employs all up Midgar in it 58 first floors... Has it's Shin-Ra Motor Mobiles making nice cars (and motorcylces!) for all up Midgar... Oh, and don't forget that they provide eletricity! Have you checked how poor are the peoples from the cities without Reactor? Dunno if this is said in the article, (I'll read it tomorrow, maybe erase this, g2g). Anyway, Motor Mobiles is really nice and should have at least a section, don't? 200.230.213.152 04:03, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

DeepGround
I think given the revelations in Dirge of Cerberus, a mention or section devoted to ShinRa's "Dark Secret" Deepground needs to be added. It's history in the Compilation of FFVII is definately worth noting as it was a major player in DoC's plot and a major revelation in terms of ShinRa history.

If no one can add one in a reasonable period of time, like a week, I'll take it upon myself to add one and we can work from there. But it definately needs to be added to the ShinRa section.198.213.57.8 18:14, 13 October 2006 (UTC)Makoeyes987

Moving to Shinra
I think the article should be at Shinra because: If no one disagrees, I'm going to tag the old redirect with speedy delete and move this page there. Axem Titanium 18:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * All places where it is rendered "Shin-Ra" are in the Japanese version and we should use official English version names. In fact, this spelling only occurs in Shinra's Japanese version logo since the Japanese language doesn't have capital letters.
 * It is rendered "Shinra" in all official English localizations, including the original, Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, etc.
 * It is named after the president's family which does not have a dash in it.

Dume

Dume is a former freguesia ("civil parish") and former bishopric in the municipality of Braga, northern Portugal, which remains a Catholic titular see. In 2013, the parish merged into the new parish Real, Dume e Semelhe. It has a population of 3,081 and a total area of 4.34 sqkm.

History
Dume enjoyed in earlier times a relief situation especially in the sixth century during the reign of Theodemar king of the Suebi. His father, Chararic, invoked Saint Martin of Tours, when Theodemar was affected by a disease in childhood.

After obtaining the cure in 550, he founded a church in Dume and sent emissaries to Gaul in search of relics of the saint. By providential provision, the emissaries of the king met with Martin of Pannonia (later to be canonized and known as Martin of Dume), who was heading from Jerusalem to Gaul, to the tomb of his namesake and compatriot. That meeting showed him the place where it should go to exercise his apostolate, because until then the Suebi had professed Arianism. He landed possibly in Portus Cale, where he went to Braga, to the court of Theodemar, completing the king's conversion, with the help of the bishop Eleutério and the bishop of Coimbra, Lucêncio. From Theodemar he obtained the newly founded Church of Dume, next to whom he built the Monastery of Dumio.

So remarkable became his action that in 558 it was elevated to the episcopal dignity, turning the church into a cathedral, the area of the monastery becoming the Bishopric of Dume. With the Christian reconquest, after the Muslim invasion, the small diocese of Dume became embedded in Braga. The ancient parish of São Martinho de Dume was one resignation from the patronage of the presentation of the prelate of Braga.

In the parish there are several chapels, including one in the Romanesque style, in place of the Order, headed by S. Lawrence. It is tradition to have worked in this chapel the canon of the Cathedral of Braga, in a time that an epidemic was raging in the city. At the place of Cabanas, there is a Manor house with a chapel, where on 25 December 1888, the resigning Archbishop of Braga Dom João Crisóstomo de Amorim Pessoa died.

According to tradition a great battle against the Moors occurred in this parish and in the places of Anteportas and Sobremoure.

Ecclesiastical history

 * Established in 558 as Diocese of Dume / Dumien(sis) (Latin), on territory split off from its Metropolitan, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Braga - see above for the royal patronage.
 * Suppressed in 1114, its territory being merged into the (Spanish, renamed) Roman Catholic Diocese of San Martiño de Mondoñedo–Dume, which retained its title until 1219 when it was renamed back Diocese of Mondoñedo having lost Dume's territory to the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Braga).

Residential Ordinaries
(all Roman Rite)

 * Suffragan Bishops of Dume
 * Saint Archbishop Martinho de Dume e Braga (556 – 579.03.20), later Metropolitan Archbishop of Braga (Portugal) (562 – death 579.03.20)
 * João (? – 589)
 * Benjamim (? – 610)
 * Germano (? – 633)
 * Recimiro (646 – 653)
 * Saint Bishop Frutuoso de Dume e Braga (? – 656), later Metropolitan Archbishop of Braga (Portugal) (656 – 660)
 * Leodigísio (? – 675)
 * Liúva (? – 681)
 * Vicente (? – 688)
 * Félix (693 – 716)
 * ''From 866 all incumbents are the Bishops of the Spanish neighbor Diocese of San Martiño de Mondoñedo, until they formally merge in 1114.

Titular see
The diocese was nominally restored in 1969 as Latin Titular bishopric of Dume (Portuguese) / Dumio (Curiate Italian) / Dumium (Latin) / Dumien(sis) (Latin adjective).

It has had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :
 * Manuel Ferreira Cabral (1972.10.21 – death 1981.12.12) as Auxiliary Bishop of Braga (Portugal) (1972.10.21 – 1981.12.12); formerly Titular Bishop of Obbi (1965.01.16 – 1967.07.03) as Auxiliary Bishop of Braga (Portugal) (1965.01.16 – 1967.07.03), Bishop of Beira (Mozambique) (1967.07.03 – 1971.07.01)
 * Carlos Francisco Martins Pinheiro (1985.02.16 – death 2010.06.04) as Auxiliary Bishop of Braga (Portugal) (1985.02.16 – 2000.11.10) and as emeritate
 * Crispin Ojeda Marquez (2011.06.04 – ...), Auxiliary Bishop of Braga (Portugal) (1972.10.21 – 1981.12.12); formerly Titular Bishop of Obbi (1965.01.16 – 1967.07.03) as Auxiliary Bishop of México (City, Mexico) (2011.06.04 – ...).

New Video Game Article
Hey! I saw that you created a new video game related article- consider joining the Computer and Video Games WikiProject! I have added your article to the list of new articles, and attributed it to you. --PresN 15:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

"Denjo"
You say he's a character you created for Xiaolin Showdown. What is his "element"? BlueCanary9999 23:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999

Denjo is actually part of a fictional order, the Heylin Dragons. He's the Dragon of Nothingness; all the Heylin Dragons have dark elements. So far I've got Nothiness, Darkness, and Destruction, though I've considered Chaos.

Ooh! Cool! Very! Is his/their master Chase Yung? 20:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999

Actually, Chase Young is beneath this guy, but only when it comes to power; in a contest of martial arts, they're evenly matched.

Wow. Fascinating! Chase Young/Yung was a Heylin Dragon as well, I assume. What was his "element"? Also, you should submit these ideast to whoever created/creates Xiaolin Showdown. They'd be a good addition. 20:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)~BlueCanary9999

Chase Young was actually never a Heylin Dragon; he was supposed to become a Xiaolin Dragon, but turned to the dark side. Now he's just a super cool evil warrior. As for submitting these ideas, I'd love to, but Xiaolin Showdown is no longer making new episodes.

Oh, yes. Right, right. THEY AREN'T?!! 00:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999

No, they aren't. It's SO sad. *plays salute to the dead*

Hi again!
Hey there! I was wondering if you've played the Sly Cooper video game series. Have you? BlueCanary9999 23:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999

Are you kidding me? I LOVE that series! I have all three games, and I love each and every one. Check out the Sly Cooper article histories and look at who's name is at the bottom of most of them: MINE!

Excellent! So can you please go to the Cooper Clan article and verify whether the Henriette "One-Eye" Cooper information is true? BlueCanary9999 04:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999

Huh; you know, I'm not sure. The game does have a pedestal with a hook-like object next to her picture, but I thought it might just be a short sword. Other than that, everything down about Henriette is true.

Didn't she also have a hook in the portrait? And thank you! BlueCanary9999 03:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999

No, that was a short sword.

Hmm... I'll have to revisit the Cooper vault then.

You do that.

Also! Was Neyla a member of the Klaww Gang?

Technically, that could go either way. She could be considered a member as Arpeggio's protege, but she was never officially named a member of the group.

Mhmm. So should I just leave that as is?

Sure, whatever.

Hello again. Now... I don't know if you know of a user called The Octavarius, but a friend of mine, Captain Red Hook, and I had a "battle" over the Henriette One-Eyed Cooper part of the Cooper Clan article. (Look at the history of the article if you want to see it; most of the conversation was cleared). The discussion ended with a compromise. However, recently, he's "returned." See here:

A dedicated wiki site for Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog universe
Hello there,

I notice you have contributed to numerous articles pertaining to the Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog universe here on Wikipedia. I'm am currently trying to create a wiki site dedicated to this fictional universe, and would like to know if you're interested in assisting me in creating quality articles on the site. I have worked on many Archie-Sonic related articles here myself, and I would be happy to have you assist me in this wiki project. Before we can begin however, I need to wait for the wiki to be approved on the wikia site, and I would greatly appreciate it if you left a support comment on the talk page if you are interested in helping with this collaborative project.

Thanks for your time. - Matticus333 02:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your help. The website is now open and you may begin creating articles and making edits to current ones! For the page to appear properly, you need to register an account with wikia. The URL address for the site http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. Rest assured the site is still in its infancy and so the layout, colour schemes etc. will be undergoing changes in the near future. Hope to see you there! - Matticus333 00:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Hate (The Delgados album)

Hate is the fourth studio album by Scottish rock band the Delgados. It was first released on 14 October 2002 by Mantra Records. Following the release of their third studio album The Great Eastern, the band performed music during an art show by Joe Coleman. It served as the catalyst for their next album, giving vocalist and guitarist Alun Woodward the urge to write more honest material. Recording was mainly held at CaVa Sound Studios in Glasgow, Scotland, with Dave Fridmann, Tony Doogan, and the band as producers. Additional recording was done at Chem19 Studios, also in Glasgow, and at Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, New York. Described as an orchestral pop album, Hate continued the sound of The Great Eastern.

Hate received generally favourable reviews from critics, some of whom found it to be an improvement on The Great Eastern. It charted at number 27 in Scotland, and number 57 in the United Kingdom. Its lead single "Coming in from the Cold" peaked at number 55 in Scotland, and number 82 in the UK. The second single, "All You Need Is Hate", charted at number 72 in the UK, and number 73 in Scotland. "Coming in from the Cold" was released on 14 October 2002, which was followed by two UK tours in late 2002 and early 2003. Hate was released in the United States in January 2003. "All You Need Is Hate" was released on 17 February 2003; the band embarked on a tour of the United States in April 2003, which was followed by another UK trek, and a stint in Europe with Doves.

Background and production
The Delgados released their third studio album, The Great Eastern, in April 2000 through their own label Chemikal Underground. When making it, the band were unable to finish it initially. Vocalist and guitarist Alun Woodward felt the mixes sounded "hideous [...] flat and never went anywhere". Producer Dave Fridmann was brought in to re-work the material; the resulting album was full of strings and related orchestral instrumentation. It charted at number 72 in the UK, while its singles "American Trilogy" and "No Danger" peaked at number 61 and 77, respectively.

The catalyst for the Delgados' next album came from an art show by Joe Coleman that the band performed music for. His paintings centred on blood, violence and death, among other topics; Woodward said they showed life in its true form, "and they're difficult things". This gave him the "desire to be honest" when writing material for the band's upcoming album. A number of the tracks were not shaping up to the band's expectations, and were subsequently rewritten with piano. Fridmann was enlisted again, with Tony Doogan and the band, to produce Hate; it was mainly recorded at CaVa Sound Studios in Glasgow, Scotland by Doogan, with assistance from William of Deans and Michael Bannister.

Additional recording was done at Chem19 Studios, also in Glasgow, with Andy Miller, and at Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, New York, with Fridmann. As Pollock was pregnant with her and drummer Paul Savage's child throughout the process, she was unable to do vocals, extending recording until March 2002. Fridmann, assisted by Michael Ivins, mixed the recordings at Tarbox. Bassist Stewart Henderson said the initial mixes were not to the band's liking; Fridmann was he was busy in Buffalo focusing on another job, which resulted in misunderstandings between him and the band. Pollock and Woodward flew to Fridmann, who promptly re-mixed the recordings, which were then mastered by Chris Blair at Abbey Road Studios in London.

Composition
Musically, the sound of Hate has been described as orchestral pop, in the vein of The Great Eastern. It has been compared to the work of Throwing Muses and the Wedding Present, while its strings recalled the work of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Discussing the album's title, Pollock said "some aspects of life have to do with [hate]. Like the struggles of people and the negative emotions in life". Woodward said the album centred around "a lot of negativity, but I think once you actually listen, these are songs which say, 'I’m an alright guy, but I’m a bit of a dickhead, right, and I can see that in myself. Dominic Farr came up with the brass arrangements across the album. The band wrote the majority of the string arrangements; they collaborated with Malcolm Lindsay on "If This Is a Plan", while he solely did "The Drowning Years". Pollock said upon hearing his arrangements, the band "all kind of thought 'Wait a minute, it doesn't sound like anything that could fit in with the song. Lindsay and the band wrote the choir arrangements for "The Light Before We Land" and "All Rise", while Lindsay solely arranged "Woke from Dreaming". In addition to the regular roles, the band members as a whole did programming, samples, and noises throughout the album. Fridmann played additional bass guitar on "Never Look at the Sun".

The album's opening track, "The Light Before We Land", is about a relationship turning stale. Its lavish strings and distorted backing track, topped off with Pollock's upbeat vocals, set the tone for the rest of the album. "All You Need Is Hate" deals with misanthropy; it title is a parody of "All You Need Is Love" (1967) by the Beatles. The song itself evoked the Beatles' "She's Leaving Home" (1967), and leans into R&B. "The Drowning Years" tackles the topic of schizophrenia and contemplating suicide. "Coming in from the Cold" lacks the orchestration found on most of the tracks in lieu of straight-forward pop in the style of Coldplay and Travis. The almost seven-minute track "Child Killers" sees the music switch from a soft lullaby to funeral hymn to a symphony, and ending on trip hop. According to vocalist and guitarist Emma Pollock, it is a "tale about how dangerous it can be to bring up a child without love and affection because it can all turn upside down later on in life". A version of "Child Killers", along with "Never Look at the Sun", had been performed for Coleman's exhibition. "All Rise" is a retread of "Aye Today", a song from The Great Eastern. The album's closing track, "If This Is a Plan", was reminiscent of material heard on Radiohead's OK Computer (1997).

Release
On 2 September 2002, Hate was announced for release the following month; its track listing was posted online the same day. "Coming in from the Cold" was released as the album's lead single on 14 October 2002. On the same day, Hate was released through Mantra Recordings. The band opted not to release it through Chemikal Underground due to not having the necessary funds, and were not willing to take support away from others acts on the label. At the time, Chemikal Underground were preparing to release albums by Cha Cha Cohen and Malcolm Middleton; Pollock said: "for the sake of [Hate ...] and to risk losing the label entirely, we didn't think it was a good idea to push it". Up to this point, Mantra had released the band's past releases in the United States. The cover features a child being held in their mother's arms. The Japanese edition includes "Coalman" and "Crutches" as extra tracks. Later in the same month, Woodward and Savage spent time DJing while on tour with the Polyphonic Spree.

The Delgados went on a three-week UK tour at end of 2002 supporting Doves, and then embarked on a headlining stint of their own in January and February 2003. To enhance the songs live, the band were accompanied by Barr on cello, Cross on violin, Lewis Turner on keyboards, and other individuals. Hate was released in the US on 21 January 2003, which included the bonus tracks "Coalman" and "Mad Drums", alongside the music video for "Coming in from the Cold". "All You Need Is Hate" was released the album's second single on 17 February 2003, with "Mad Drums" and a cover of "Mr. Blue Sky" (1977) by the Electric Light Orchestra as the B-sides. The band went on a trek to the US in April 2003, and another UK tour the following month, leading up to the benefit event Concern Concert for Africa. They embarked on a 30-date tour of Europe with Doves.

Reception
Hate was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 80, based on 20 reviews. It has been compared to such other works as The Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin.

AllMusic reviewer Sean Carruthers wrote that while The Great Eastern is a "a fairly gentle and tentative record in a lot of ways," Hate is "bigger and demands your attention. The good news is that it's one of those rare records that actually deserves all of the attention it demands". Michael Chamy of The Austin Chronicle found that Fridmann retained the strings from The Great Eastern, "but minimizes the proggy indulgences that bogged [it] down". Drowned in Sound Gareth Dobson saw the album as "most definitely a step onwards from the fragmented, oft inspiring and occasionally beautiful" The Great Eastern. Entertainment Weekly writer Rob Brunner said Hate had the "wonderful signature symphonic psychedelia" of Fridmann, "and the songs are pretty nice, too".

Betty Clarke of The Guardian wrote that while Hate is a "lush album full of gorgeous melodies and lullaby voices," its lyrical topics "might keep you awake at night". The Boston Phoenix Franklin Soults said the tracks "unvarying start-small-end-huge formula becomes numbing" after awhile, and the "impressionistic lyrics rarely cohere as convincingly" as heard in "All You Need Is Hate". Los Angeles Times writer Kevin Bronson highlighted Fridmann's production style for adding "cinematic [...] flourishes" that made his past work memorable, "but it is restraint that makes the Delgados' tightrope act work". Rolling Stone reviewer Christian Hoard referred to the band as "the depressed cousins of The Flaming Lips". In a review for Spin, Andy Greenwald put it as follows: "Rougher than Belle and Sebastian and lovelier than Mogwai, the Delgados craft orchestral maneuvers in the dark that leave bruises". Pitchfork contributor Nitsuh Abebe echoed a similar statement, saying that "[s]ome great dramatic reckoning of hope and despair is going on" with the album's tracks.

Hate peaked at number 27 in Scotland, and number 57 in the UK. "Coming in from the Cold" charted at number 55 in Scotland, and number 82 in the UK. "All You Need Is Hate" charted at number 72 in the UK, and number 73 in Scotland. Playlouder ranked the album at number 14 on their list of the top 50 albums of 2002. Stylus included the album on their list of The Top 50 Albums of 2000–2005.

Germanton, North Carolina

Germanton is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Forsyth and Stokes counties in the U.S. state of North Carolina, primarily in Stokes County. As of the 2020 census, the community had a population of 790.

It is located 13 mi south of the Stokes County seat of Danbury, on North Carolina State Highways 8 and 65 at an altitude of 662 ft. Downtown Winston-Salem is 13 mi to the south. Germanton was the county seat of Stokes County prior to Forsyth County being created from southern Stokes. Before the creation of Forsyth County, Germanton was centrally located within the Stokes County limits.

History
Germanton was established in 1790 and is the oldest community in Stokes County. The town's original 23 acre were part of a 700 acre tract that was granted to Jacob Lash by the Earl of Granville in 1762. The 23 acres were deeded from brothers Michael and Henry Frey. The town was named after an influx of Germanic immigrants, who had served as veterans of the American Revolution, were given incentives to settle the area. These settlers included both Germans who fought against the crown, and Hessians who had been loyal to the crown. American Revolutionary War Major Joseph Winston, later a U.S. congressman, was a famous Germanton resident with a plantation nearby.

Germanton is located near the older Moravian settlements of Bethabara and Bethania, which were part of the Wachovia Tract settlement. The etymology of the "Germanton" name is often mistakenly attributed to this proximity. While Wachovia was settled for religious reasons by people originally from what is today the Czech Republic, the settlers of the Germanton area were primarily Lutheran, originally from areas in what is today Germany, and settled the area for non-religious purposes. Early Stokes county settlers were the result of land incentives by the State in 1790 given as a reward to those Germanic people who had fought for Independence.

The use of German as a mother tongue died out by the 1850s.

Coal was mined in the Germanton area in the late 19th century but was of low quality.

The Germanton Methodist Church and Cemetery, Leak-Chaffin-Browder House, and St. Philip's Episcopal Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
