Martyn Green

William Martin Green (22 April 1899 – 8 February 1975), known by his stage name, Martyn Green, was an English actor and singer. He is remembered for his performances and recordings as principal comedian of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, in the leading patter roles of the Gilbert & Sullivan comic operas in the 1930s and 1940s, and for his career in America from the 1950s to the 1970s.

After army service in World War I, Green studied singing and began to perform in musical theatre. In 1922 he joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, playing in the chorus and in an increasing number of small-to-medium sized roles, while understudying, and often substituting for, the company's principal comedian. Beginning in 1931, he was regularly given the roles of Major-General Stanley in The Pirates of Penzance and Robin Oakapple in Ruddigore. In 1934, Green became the principal comedian, playing all the famous Gilbert and Sullivan patter roles, including Sir Joseph in H.M.S. Pinafore, the Major-General in Pirates, Bunthorne in Patience, the Lord Chancellor in Iolanthe, Ko-Ko in The Mikado, Jack Point in The Yeomen of the Guard and the Duke of Plaza Toro in The Gondoliers, among others.

At the beginning of World War II, Green left the D'Oyly Carte organisation and acted in other companies. In 1941, he joined the Royal Air Force, serving until 1945. He soon rejoined D'Oyly Carte and continued as the principal comedian until 1951. He then left the company again and moved to New York City, where he continued his career in Broadway musicals, plays, television, recordings and films. In 1959, his left leg was crushed in a garage elevator and had to be amputated below the knee. Greatly determined, Green was soon acting and directing again using a prosthetic limb. He continued to act and direct for the rest of his life and had a variety of film roles, notably in A Lovely Way to Die (1968) and The Iceman Cometh (1973).

Life and career
William Martin Green was born in Shepherd's Bush, London. His father, William Green (1868–1920), a tenor concert singer, was his first singing teacher, and his mother was Sarah Ann, née Martin (b. 1869). Both parents were from Bolton, Lancashire; Green was the third of their four children. Green was educated at Latymer Upper School. When his elder brother Alexander died, Green left school and was apprenticed to a draper in Wigan from 1914 to 1915, but he was unhappy there and was eager to join the army. After two attempts to enlist while underage, he eventually served in the army, becoming an army drummer and fighting in France during World War I. In 1918, he was wounded in his left leg by shrapnel and was discharged in 1919.

Green's first stage appearance was in Nottingham in early 1919 in the chorus of A Southern Maid. The same year, he toured briefly in more Edwardian musical comedies for the George Edwardes Company, then run by Robert Evett, and soon received a scholarship to the Royal College of Music, studying singing with Gustave Garcia. He also studied elocution with Cairns James, a former singer with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. He left the Royal College in 1921 and soon appeared in the provinces in the revue Shuffle Along. His first appearance in London was at the London Palladium in Thirty Minutes of Melody in September 1921. The following year, he sang in variety at the Palladium before playing his first major role, Paul Petrov, the romantic lead in a provincial tour of the operetta Sybil, again with an Edwardes company. After the tour, in which he used the stage name W. Martyn-Green, he decided on the simpler Martyn Green.

Pre-war D'Oyly Carte years
Green joined D'Oyly Carte's "New Company" (its second touring company) late in 1922 as a chorus member and occasional principal. His first role there was Luiz in The Gondoliers the same year. In July 1923 he was made understudy to Frank Steward, the New Company's principal comic baritone. While taking on some smaller roles on a regular basis, such as Antonio in The Gondoliers, the Associate and then Counsel in Trial by Jury, he also had the opportunity to perform many of the leading patter roles, as understudy, playing the Learned Judge in Trial, Sir Joseph Porter in H.M.S. Pinafore, the Lord Chancellor in Iolanthe, Ko-Ko in The Mikado, and the Duke of Plaza-Toro in The Gondoliers. In 1924, he added the roles of Mr. Cox in Cox and Box and First Citizen in The Yeomen of the Guard to his regular repertory and soon added Pish-Tush in The Mikado.

In 1925, Green was promoted to the main repertory company, becoming the understudy to the long-time leading comedian Henry Lytton. There, he also regularly played the roles of Cox, the Associate, Major Murgatroyd in Patience, and Luiz (and sometimes Antonio). Beginning in 1927, he added the role of the Usher in Trial by Jury. On occasion, he substituted for Lytton as Major-General Stanley in The Pirates of Penzance and also filled in from time to time as Florian in Princess Ida, Giuseppe in The Gondoliers and Counsel in Trial. By the 1928–30 seasons, in addition to singing these smaller baritone roles, Green had a chance to fill in for Lytton from time to time in all the patter roles, including General Stanley, Bunthorne in Patience, the Lord Chancellor, Ko-Ko, Robin Oakapple in Ruddigore, Jack Point in Yeomen and the Duke of Plaza-Toro. He sang the part of Mr. Cox in a 1929 BBC radio broadcast.

In 1931, Lytton was injured in a car accident in which D'Oyly Carte principal contralto Bertha Lewis received fatal injuries. Green took over Lytton's nine patter roles until Lytton's return about two months later. Afterwards, two of the roles – Major-General Stanley in Pirates and Robin Oakapple in Ruddigore – were assigned to Green permanently in 1932. He also began substituting more frequently for Lytton in the role of Jack Point. In 1934, Lytton's retirement left Green as the principal comedian of the D'Oyly Carte company, playing all of the comic roles in their repertory over the next five years, which included London seasons and extended British and American tours. Green gained enthusiastic notices for, among other things, his excellent diction and comedic stage movement, despite the World War I injury to his knee. Green finally added John Wellington Wells in The Sorcerer to his long list of roles when the company revived that work in 1938, and he appeared in the film version of The Mikado in the role of Ko-Ko in 1939. Green was a slim song-and-dance man who could make audiences laugh with a mere "twitch of a toe... [or] punctilious verbal articulation, nasally pompous", while bringing elements of seriousness and pathos to some of the roles. His director in the film, Victor Schertzinger, said of Green: "He has that special sort of comedian's quality that only Chaplin has so far developed to perfection. He can make you laugh and cry at the same moment."

War and later D'Oyly Carte years
In September 1939, at the outbreak of World War II, the British government ordered all theatres to close indefinitely. Rupert D'Oyly Carte cancelled the company's entire autumn tour and terminated the contracts of all of his performers. Green arranged, as soon as possible, for an engagement with Charles B. Cochran to appear in the Noel Gay revue Lights Up at the Savoy Theatre. On Christmas Day 1939, the D'Oyly Carte resumed performing, and since Green was not available, they engaged Grahame Clifford to play Green's roles. After the Cochran review, Green appeared with other companies, including touring with Sylvia Cecil in variety halls in their act, "Words with Music," which included Gilbert and Sullivan songs. He then joined the Royal Air Force, serving as an instructor and administrator in Canada, California and India from 1941 to 1945.

Green returned to the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in 1946 as principal comedian for another five years. During this time, he recorded most of the Gilbert and Sullivan patter roles in the earliest D'Oyly Carte LP recordings. For a generation of Gilbert & Sullivan fans, his performances in those recordings were considered definitive. Billboard wrote, during the company's 1948 US tour, that his performance of Jack Point "is another triumph. ... a G. and S. portrait to be cherished." In this second stint with the company, Green became impatient with artistic and commercial decisions of the company, including the postponement of some recordings, which led to friction with the management. In 1949, soon after Bridget D'Oyly Carte inherited the company, she appointed Eleanor Evans (known in the company as "Snookie") as Stage Director and Director of Productions to replace Anna Bethell (Mrs. Sydney Granville). The choice of the temperamental Snookie, a former chorister with the company and wife of the company's longtime principal bass Darrell Fancourt, was a highly unpopular one and contributed to a wave of defections from the company, including Green's departure in 1951. He wrote: "I had heard there was some possibility of [the selection of Evans] happening and ... told Miss Carte that I thought she was making a great psychological error. During Anna Bethell's regime... there had been growing signs of discontent and suggestions of favouritism being shown to some of the members of the chorus in respect to passing over existing understudies, selections for small parts, and so on. ... But to appoint not only a woman who had for fifteen years worked in the chorus alongside several who were now principals, but the wife of one of the main principals, seemed to me to be a psychological error of the first magnitude. I felt that ... she would, rightly or wrongly, be accused of that very same favouritism. My views made no impression on Miss Carte, but time was to prove that I was right. Discontent grew, changes were constantly taking place, and criticism became rampant. Nor did it stop at the methods of production; it went so far as to suggest a complete lack of knowledge, evidenced ... by constant self-contradiction. There were other accusations levelled against her, of a more serious nature. ... [Those] in control ... apparently assumed in the first place that the performers are little more than automatons and are completely devoid of brains or the ability to think for themselves. Production is done to a plan that takes no consideration of the individual, his personality or his histrionic ability – a stereotyped plan that results in a clockwork performance devoid of spontaneity."

Historian Tony Joseph wrote: "It was the largest single exodus of performers in D'Oyly Carte history, and that was why the sense of sadness that hovered over the season was so marked. ... August 1951 was the end of an era."

After D'Oyly Carte
After leaving the D'Oyly Carte company, Green appeared as George Grossmith in the film The Story of Gilbert and Sullivan (released in 1953). He then travelled to America, together with Ella Halman and Radley Flynn, to tour in Gilbert and Sullivan operas for S. M. Chartock. He remained in America, settling in New York City, where he continued his career in musicals, plays, television, recordings and films. Apart from his many appearances on Broadway in Gilbert and Sullivan roles up to 1952, his Broadway appearances in the 1950s included Brennan o' the Moor in Red Roses for Me (1955–56), Chang in Shangri-La (1956), Lionel Croy in Child of Fortune (1956), and Kreton in A Visit to a Small Planet, by Gore Vidal (1957–58). In 1954, he appeared with Ginger Rogers in a Producers' Showcase television presentation of Red Peppers from Tonight at 8.30, directed by Otto Preminger. He also played in a number of TV musicals, such as The Stingiest Man in Town as Bob Cratchit (1956).

In 1959, Green's left leg was crushed in a garage elevator and had to be amputated below the knee. An ambulance intern from India, Dr. P. Shamsuddin, borrowed a pocket knife from a police officer to perform the operation without anaesthesia. Green sued the garage company, but the case was dismissed. According to Time, he was operating the elevator himself because he didn't trust the garage attendants to park his M.G. sports car. Eight months later, using a prosthetic limb, he appeared as W. S. Gilbert in the musical Knights of Song in St. Louis. In 1960 he directed Groucho Marx, Helen Traubel, Stanley Holloway and Robert Rounseville in a Bell Telephone Hour television condensed production of The Mikado. Among Green's regional credits was Kris Kringle in a 1965 Kansas City Starlight Theatre production of Here's Love. He also continued to perform on Broadway, as Colonel Melkett in Black Comedy (1967), Justinus (the innkeeper) and Chaucer in Canterbury Tales (1969), Colonel Sir Francis Chesney in Charley's Aunt (1970), and Col. Elbourne in The Incomparable Max (1971). He also worked in summer stock during the rest of his life.

Green also continued frequently to direct and produce Gilbert and Sullivan productions and worked with various touring companies and in summer stock. His film roles included Finchley in A Lovely Way to Die (1968), and the Captain in The Iceman Cometh (1973). Green last appeared on stage in Chicago (December 1974) in the play The Sea. His final performance in any medium was in The National Radio Theater's 1974 production of Mathry Beacon by Giles Cooper. After this, he returned to his Hollywood, Los Angeles, home (where he had lived since 1973) and was soon hospitalised.

Green died of a blood infection on 8 February 1975, in the Presbyterian Hospital of Hollywood, at the age of 75.

Marriages
Green was married three times, first to Ethel Beatrice Andrews (born c. 1897) in 1922, and after their divorce to Joyce Mary Fentem (1911–1996) in 1933, with Henry Lytton as best man; this also ended in divorce. Finally, in 1961, he married the operatic soprano Yvonne Chauveau (1922–2016). He had a daughter from the first marriage, Pamela, who married Geoffrey John Farrer Brain (1922–2000) in 1950.

Recordings and books
In addition to his D'Oyly Carte recordings, Green made four additional Gilbert and Sullivan recordings: Martyn Green's Gilbert & Sullivan (Columbia, 1953), The Mikado (Allegro-Royale, 1954), Martyn Green Sings the Gilbert & Sullivan Song Book (MGM, 1962), and The Pirates of Penzance (RCA-Victor, 1966). He appeared on the 1956 soundtrack recording of The Stingiest Man in Town and the 1969 cast album of Canterbury Tales. He did work for radio and television in America including an adaptation of the Major-General's Song for Campbell's Soup. In 1956, Green recorded selections from A Treasury of Ribaldry (edited by Louis Untermeyer, published by Hanover House). He also recorded songs and stories for children, for example, with Julie Andrews (and music by Moondog) in 1957, "Songs of Sense & Nonsense – Tell It Again", and a recording called Arabian Nights' Entertainment.

Green wrote two books: an autobiography, Here's a How-de-do in 1952, and an annotated songbook, Martyn Green's Treasury of Gilbert & Sullivan (New York, Simon & Schuster) in 1961. There are two editions of Here's a How-de-do. The American edition (New York, W. W. Norton & Co., 275 pp.) is somewhat more candid and expansive in dealing with D'Oyly Carte personalities and situations than its British counterpart (London, Max Reinhardt, 210 pp). He also wrote an introduction to Leslie Ayre's 1972 "The Gilbert & Sullivan Companion", in which he commented wryly that the Gilbert and Sullivan operas "have been translated into many languages, including American and Australian...."

Green's papers are housed at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center in the Mugar Memorial Library at Boston University.

Fairlight, East Sussex

Fairlight is a village in East Sussex, England within Rother district, three miles (5 km) to the east of Hastings. Fairlight is also the name of the civil parish forming part of the Rother district which includes the villages of Fairlight and the much larger Fairlight Cove. The village of Fairlight lies on a minor road between Ore, Pett and Winchelsea.

St Andrew's Church (built 1845) has a tall tower and beacon turret, and can be seen for some distance around. The church is one of three in the United Benefice of Fairlight, Guestling and Pett. Richard D'Oyly Carte, founder of the Savoy Theatre, Savoy Hotel, and D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which produced the Gilbert and Sullivan light operas, is buried in the churchyard. So also are Thomas Attwood Walmisley, and Sir James Roberts of Saltaire and his wife.

Fairlight Cove, the neighbouring settlement and part of the parish, has suffered from coastal erosion and landslips at Rockmead Road and Sea Road. A number of houses there are very close to the sea edge, and properties on those roads have suffered through demolition and abandonment of a number of properties. The Fairlight Preservation Trust, a registered charity, was set up with a view to combating the loss by erosion and more generally to enhance and protect the village. Sea defences were built in the 1990s at Sea Road and at Rockmead Road in 2007. The 2007 works are intended to be effective for 50 years from 2007, and are regularly monitored by Rother District Council and by the Trust.

Although the nearest railway station is Three Oaks, Hastings offers a much better service and can be reached by bus from Fairlight. Rye station is also accessible by bus from Fairlight.

The Cinema Museum in London holds extensive home movies filmed in and around Fairlight from the 1950s and 60s.

Landmarks
Hastings Country Park stretches from Hastings to Cliff End, where it gives access to the beach. This is a favoured spot for fossil-hunters; the "Hastings Beds" are part of the Early Cretaceous Wealden Group, aged 140–136 million years. The park also gives access to the beach at Fairlight Glen.

The highest point in Hastings, now named North's Seat, is at the top of Fairlight Down in Hastings Country Park. It is named after Frederick North (MP) who represented the town. There used to be a windmill at this location, near which General William Roy erected a 32-foot temporary tower for vital cross-channel observations as part of the Anglo-French Survey (1784–1790), which used trigonometric measurements to link the Royal Greenwich Observatory with the Paris Observatory.

The country park is part of the larger Site of Special Scientific Interest called Hastings Cliffs to Pett Beach which extends into neighbouring parishes. The site is of both geological and biological interest.

Carmen Provenzano

Carmen Provenzano (February 3, 1942 – July 27, 2005) was a Canadian politician. He represented the Sault Ste. Marie electoral district in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2004. He was a member of the Liberal Party of Canada.

Carmen Provenzano was a graduate of St. Mary's College in the Sault. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Windsor, and a law degree (LLB) from Queen's University in Kingston.

On graduation, he started his legal career in the city of Sault Ste. Marie's legal department, and for 25 years was self-employed in legal private practice in the Sault, specializing in municipal and planning law.

He served as a charter member of the Algoma District Health Council, and for 13 consecutive years as a trustee on the Sault Ste. Marie Board of Education, where he served on all committees, including finance (chair) and salary negotiation.

Provenzano was the past chair of the Northern Ontario Liberal caucus. After his election to Parliament in 1997 and re-election in 2000, he served as parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Veterans Affairs, and was on several standing committees of the House of Commons, including fisheries and oceans (vice-chair), government operations and natural resources (vice-chair), and national defence and veterans affairs.

He was also a member of the parliamentary steel caucus. As the Sault's MP, he considered his involvement in the successful restructuring of Algoma Steel a significant personal achievement.

He was married to his wife Ada for nearly forty years, and together they had four children.

Provenzano died from a sudden heart attack on July 27, 2005. His nephew Christian Provenzano ran unsuccessfully for the Liberals in his former riding during the 2006 federal election and the 2011 federal election, and was elected mayor of Sault Ste. Marie in the 2014 municipal election.

Legacy

On September 15, 2006, "Carmen's Way", a bypass for truck traffic between the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge and Highway 17, was formally dedicated in Sault Ste. Marie in Provenzano's memory. A dedication plaque reads in part: He will be fondly remembered as a man who loved and lived for his family, friends, community, and Canada--a man who did things "Carmen's Way."

Sean Kinney

Sean Howard Kinney (born May 27, 1966) is an American musician, best known as the drummer and co-founder of the rock band Alice in Chains. Kinney also founded the short-lived supergroup Spys4Darwin, and has collaborated with other artists such as Johnny Cash and Metallica. He played drums for his Alice in Chains bandmate, Jerry Cantrell's first solo album, Boggy Depot (1998). Since 2009, Kinney has been co-owner of The Crocodile club in Seattle. He was a guest drummer on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers in September 2018. Kinney has earned nine Grammy Award nominations as a member of Alice in Chains.

Biography
Sean Howard Kinney was born in Renton, Washington, on May 27, 1966. His father was a police officer and his mother was a city official.

Kinney's interest in music was developed at an early age. He got his first drum kit when he was 5 years old. By the age of 9, he was the drummer for his grandfather's band, The Cross Cats, and was traveling the Northwest playing small venues. Kinney grew up in Renton, where he attended Liberty Senior High School in the Issaquah School District.

Alice in Chains

Kinney met singer Layne Staley around 1985, when Staley's band Sleze was playing at Alki Beach. Kinney revealed to Guitar Legends magazine that in their first meeting he told Staley that he was cool but his band sucked, and that he should get a different drummer, so Kinney suggested himself. Kinney did not have a phone at the time, so he gave Staley a piece of paper with his girlfriend's number.

Kinney met up with Alice in Chains in 1987, when guitarist Jerry Cantrell wanted to form a new band after his band Diamond Lie broke up, so his roommate Layne Staley gave him the phone number of Kinney's girlfriend, Melinda Starr, so that Cantrell could talk to Kinney and set up a meeting. Kinney and his girlfriend went to the Music Bank in Seattle where Cantrell was living and listened to his demos. Cantrell mentioned that they needed a bass player to jam with them, and he already had someone in mind: Mike Starr, with whom Cantrell had played in a band in Burien called Gypsy Rose. Kinney then mentioned that his girlfriend was actually Starr's sister, and that he had been playing in bands together with Starr since they were kids. Kinney called Starr and a few days later he started jamming with him and Cantrell at the Music Bank, but they didn't have a singer. Cantrell, Starr and Kinney wanted Staley to be their lead singer, so they started auditioning terrible lead singers in front of Staley to send a hint. The last straw for Staley was when they auditioned a male stripper – he decided to join the band after that. Starr was replaced by former Ozzy Osbourne bassist Mike Inez in 1993.

Kinney almost didn't play on Alice in Chains' debut album, Facelift. He had broken his hand and the band started rehearsing with Greg Gilmore, the drummer from Mother Love Bone. Kinney explained in the 2009 book Grunge is Dead: I almost didn't play on the record – they started rehearsing with the drummer from Mother Love Bone, Greg Gilmore. I was sitting there playing with one hand, guiding him through it. Dave Jerden came in and they started to try to do it. He was like, 'Screw it – pull the plug. This is not going to be the same.' Luckily, we took a tiny bit of time off. I had that cast on for a while, and was like, 'I can't miss this.' I cut my cast off in the studio and kept a bucket of ice by the drum set. Kept my hand iced down and played with a broken hand. I tried not to do that again – your first big break, and you fuck it up.

Since the band's inception, Kinney has been the only drummer. He also played piano and sang chorus vocals through a megaphone on the hidden song from Sap entitled "Love Song". The album was named after a dream Kinney had about the band recording some light acoustic songs for an album they name Sap, because it's "sappy.".

Kinney was featured in the 1992 movie Singles, along with the other members of Alice in Chains performing the songs "It Ain't Like That" and "Would?".

Other projects
In 1996, Kinney joined singer Johnny Cash, guitarist Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, and bassist Krist Novoselic of Nirvana for a cover of Willie Nelson's "Time of the Preacher", featured on the tribute album Twisted Willie, which also had Kinney playing drums for Jerry Cantrell's cover of "I've Seen All This World I Care to See". In the same year, Kinney played drums for Cantrell's first original solo song, "Leave Me Alone", featured on the soundtrack of the 1996 film The Cable Guy.

In 1998, Kinney played drums for Cantrell's first solo album, Boggy Depot, and percussion in the song "Tuesday's Gone", a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd released on Metallica's 1998 album Garage Inc., also featuring Cantrell on guitar.

After they toured as part of Cantrell's solo band in 1998, Kinney and Queensrÿche guitarist Chris DeGarmo formed a new band called Spys4Darwin in 1999. Alice in Chains' bassist Mike Inez and Sponge lead vocalist Vin Dombroski joined the band soon after. The band released their first and only album on May 18, 2001, a 6-track EP entitled Microfish, and made their live debut at Endfest in Bremerton, Washington on August 4, 2001.

Since 2009, Kinney co-owns the club The Crocodile in Seattle along with Alice in Chains' manager Susan Silver, Capitol Hill Block Party co-founder Marcus Charles, Peggy Curtis, and Portugal. The Man guitarist Eric Howk. In 2013, Rolling Stone named The Crocodile as one of the best clubs in America, ranked at #7.

Soundgarden lead vocalist Chris Cornell personally asked Kinney to join him, Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin and Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan in the tribute show to the band Mad Season at Seattle's Benaroya Hall on January 30, 2015. Kinney played bongo for the song "All Alone" while a track with Layne Staley's original vocals were played. The performance was released as a live album in August 2015, entitled Mad Season / Seattle Symphony: Sonic Evolution / January 30, 2015 / Benaroya Hall.

From September 17 to 20, 2018, Kinney was a guest drummer on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Alice in Chains rebirth (2005–present)
Alice in Chains was inactive from 1996 onwards due to Layne Staley's drug issues, which resulted in his death in April 2002. In 2005, Kinney came up with the idea of reuniting with the other two surviving members of Alice in Chains, Jerry Cantrell and Mike Inez, to perform at a benefit concert for the victims of the tsunami disaster that struck South Asia in 2004. Kinney made calls to his former bandmates, as well as friends in the music community, such as former Alice in Chains manager Susan Silver. Kinney was surprised by the enthusiastic response to his idea, and the band performed for the first time in 10 years at the K-Rock Tsunami Continued Care Relief Concert in Seattle on February 18, 2006, featuring guest vocalists singing Staley's parts.

On March 6, 2006, the band performed together again at VH1's Decades Rock Live concert, honoring fellow Seattle musicians Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson of Heart. That night they played "Rooster" with Comes with the Fall vocalist William DuVall and Ann Wilson. DuVall joined Alice in Chains as lead singer shortly thereafter. The band has toured extensively worldwide since then.

The album Black Gives Way to Blue, the first without Staley, was released on September 29, 2009, featuring DuVall as the new vocalist. The album was totally funded by Kinney and Cantrell, as the band did not have a record label at the time. Their fifth studio album, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, was released on May 28, 2013.

In 2013, Kinney added the initials "LSMS" on his drum kit, a tribute to Alice in Chains' late members Layne Staley and Mike Starr.

Alice in Chains' sixth studio album (and the third with DuVall), Rainier Fog, was released on August 24, 2018.

Artwork
Kinney plays a large role in the presentation of the band, having helped design artwork, T-shirts and stage setups for most of the band's albums and tours.

In 1995, Alice in Chains was contemplating making a third studio album. When it was official, Kinney drew out artwork for the cover and liner notes. The cover features a three-legged dog, reason being, according to band lore, there was a three-legged dog named Tripod that used to terrorize Kinney and chase him around during his paperboy duties when he was a kid. The music video for the album's first single, "Grind", shows a three legged dog (similar to the one that allegedly used to chase Kinney) walking up a stairway with an elderly man.

The cover art of Black Gives Way to Blue (2009), an illustration of a heart surrounded by a black background, was Kinney's basic concept.

Gear
Kinney uses a drum kit made by Drum Workshop (DW Drums) with Remo heads and cymbals by Sabian. He uses Vater Percussion drumsticks.

Plot section
This section needs to be trimmed; I don't think the plot for this (or any other) film needs describing in sixteen paragraphs. Extraordinary Machine 00:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, i think it's repetitive as it outlines the plot and then gives Carey's version of it - there's no need, those two outline could be merged into a paragraph using her quotes. KZF 17:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thought this was the sequel to Legend, but she sleeps with a guy on the first date. WAAY BETTER A++ WILL SELL TO AGAIN!

An anonymous editor actually removed the opening scene outline from the Plot section. Is there a way we can appropriate (pronounced ap-pro-pree-eight this time around)that opening scene in a shorter way to not make the Plot section too long? Any answers are appreciated. Thanks.

Removed a thing
this bit:

(as well as unintentionally?)

looked weird. KZF 17:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

For such a terrible film, someone certainly put a lot of effort into writing the plot - the plot section is ridiculously long and should be shortened.

Merging
I merged and corrected the grammar of the two paragraphs about the "Loverboy" song and music video. There was too much repetition. Seriously, do you really need to say "legion of professional semi-nude male dancers" twice?

Release Date?
The info box says it was released September 21, but the "Reception" section, it says that Carey said the film was released on September 11. Clarification? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.199.220.163 (talk) 18:17, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Glitter was supposed to be released on September 11th, 2001, but was postponed in the wake of the terrorist attacks that happened on that day. The soundtrack album was still released on that day and and as a result of that, the sales of the album struggled to reach it's chart peak at #7 in the USA alone and sales of the Loverboy single struggled to make it to #2, though it took Virgin Records to reduce the price to a mere $0.49 to push the sales of the single. Despite the sales struggle for the album, it reached RIAA platinum certification. The film was released 10 days later and flopped. Not only that, the main reason why it flopped was because it wasn't promoted very much by either 20th Century Fox or even by Columbia Pictures, who would later release the film on DVD after 20th Century Fox decided that they wanted nothing more to do with the film and sold their rights to Columbia Pictures, who still own the copyright of the movie to this day.

I hope that this answers your question. Frschoonover (talk) 13:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Glitter (film)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Glitter (film)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Blue-headed parrot

The blue-headed parrot, also known as the blue-headed pionus (Pionus menstruus) is a medium-sized parrot of about 27 cm in length. The body is mostly green, with a blue head and neck, and red undertail coverts. It is a resident in tropical and subtropical South America and southern Central America, from Costa Rica, Venezuela and the Caribbean island of Trinidad south to Bolivia and Brazil.

Its habitat is forest and semi-open country, including cultivated areas. It is largely restricted to humid or semi-humid regions, but locally extends into drier habitats, at least along rivers. The blue-headed parrot lays three to five white eggs in a tree cavity.

Blue-headed parrots are noisy birds and make light, high-pitched squeaking sweenk calls. They eat fruit and seeds, and sometimes grain. They roost communally in palm and other trees, and large numbers can be seen at the roost sites at dawn and dusk.

Blue-headed parrots are popular as pets. Compared to other parrot species (like amazons) they are very quiet. They are affectionate, but not known for their talking ability.

Taxonomy
The blue-headed parrot was formally described in 1766 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the twelfth edition of his Systema Naturae. He placed it with all the other parrots in the genus Psittacus and coined the binomial name Psittacus menstruus. Linnaeus based his description on earlier accounts by Mathurin Jacques Brisson and George Edwards. In 1760 Brisson had published a description of "Le perroquet a teste bleue de la Guiane" from a preserved specimen that had been collected in French Guiana. In 1764 Edwards had included a description and a hand-coloured etching of a live bird in the third volume of his Gleanings of Natural History. The blue-headed parrot is now one of eight parrots placed in the genus Pionus that was introduced in 1832 by the German naturalist Johann Georg Wagler. The genus name is from Ancient Greek piōn, pionos meaning "fat". The specific epithet menstruus is Latin meaning "menstrual".

Three subspecies are recognised:
 * P. m. rubrigularis Cabanis, 1881 – north Costa Rica to west Ecuador
 * P. m. menstruus (Linnaeus, 1766) – east Colombia to north Bolivia, the Guianas and northeast Brazil
 * P. m. reichenowi Heine, 1884 – east Brazil

Birdlife International and the International Union for Conservation of Nature treat the subspecies P. m. reichenowi as a separate species, the blue-breasted parrot (Pionus reichenowi).

Description
The blue-headed parrot is about 28 cm long and weighs 245 g. It is mainly green with a blue head, neck and upper breast, red undertail coverts, and some yellowish on the wing coverts. The upper mandible is black with reddish areas on both sides. They have dark ear patches. In addition to the well-known nominate subspecies found throughout most of the species' South American range, there are two more localized subspecies: rubrigularis from southern Central America and the Chocó has an overall paler plumage and typically a relatively distinct pinkish patch on the throat, and reichenowi from the Atlantic Forest in east Brazil has a paler bill and most of the underparts blue. In all subspecies the male and the female are alike, and juvenile birds have less blue on the head, as well as red or pinkish feathers around the ceres. They moult into their adult plumage at about 8 months of age, but it can take up to two years for the full blue hood to emerge.

Range
In South America, the blue-headed parrot is mainly an Amazonian species, including in the southeast the neighboring Araguaia-Tocantins River system as its eastern limit; a disjunct population lives southeastwards on Brazil's South Atlantic coast, a coastal strip from Pernambuco in the north to Espírito Santo state in the south, about 1500 km long. In northwest South America the range continues into Central American Panama to Costa Rica. It avoids the northern Andes cordillera spine, and a smaller contiguous area of central Venezuela and northern Colombia. A Pacific Ocean coastal strip continues the range, from southern Ecuador, north to Caribbean areas of northwestern Colombia and western Venezuela.

Food and feeding
They eat fruit, flowers and seeds, and sometimes grain.

Breeding
The blue-headed parrot nests in tree cavities. The eggs are white and there are usually three to five in a clutch. The female incubates the eggs for about 26 days and the chicks leave the nest about 70 days after hatching.

User talk:TShilo12/Peirush

So, this article idea developed as a result of the explanations of each type of "art" (or "study") in Jewish exegesis, found at Karaite Judaism (see paragraph 2 of that article). I see potential here to discuss several examples of texts for which there are extant and referencible exegetical interpretations, as well as an outline of the historical development of each type and their relative importance and rôle in Jewish life and in halakha, as well as their influence in various sects and movements. Tomer TALK 05:47, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think this is appropriate material for a standalone article, and the name peirush is not suitable either. It may be useful under exegesis in Judaism, with a subheading "The Pardes approach", explaining a little what it means by an approach, ie levels of depth to understanding the torah; also what pardes means; maybe it is worth mentioning the idea of 'שבעים פנים'. --jnothman 01:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * A cursory glance at the article should fairly clearly demonstrate that I had no desire to call the article proposal Peirush. :-p Tomer TALK  19:31, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Bodroux–Chichibabin aldehyde synthesis

The Bodroux–Chichibabin aldehyde synthesis is a chemical reaction whereby a Grignard reagent is converted to an aldehyde one carbon longer.

 * [[Image:Bodroux-Chichibabin Aldehyde Synthesis Scheme.png|350px|Bodroux-Chichibabin aldehyde synthesis]]

Reaction of a Grignard reagent with triethyl orthoformate gives an acetal, which can be hydrolyzed to an aldehyde. For example, the synthesis of n-hexanal:

42-form tai chi

The 42 Form tai chi, also called Competition Form or Mixed Form, is the standard Wushu competition form which combines movements drawn from the Chen, Yang, Wu, and Sun styles of traditional tai chi. It was created in 1989 by Professors Men Hui Feng from The Beijing Sport Institute and Li De Yin from the People's University for the Chinese Sports Committee. The 42-form has been subjected to criticism for being a hybrid form, but in actual practice it has received a lot of positive attention as well, for being a challenging, fluid form which loads the body with qi. Today it is a popular form for competition as well as for personal health benefits.

Del Cerro, San Diego

Del Cerro (Spanish for "of the hill") is a hilly residential neighborhood of approximately 2,300 residents in the eastern part of San Diego, California. Del Cerro borders the communities of San Carlos, Allied Gardens, College Area, Grantville, and the city of La Mesa, and is adjacent to Lake Murray and San Diego State University.

History
The Del Cerro area was developed as a residential suburb during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

In 2007, California State University trustees endorsed a Master Plan proposing to build a housing project for faculty and staff on university-owned undeveloped open space in Del Cerro (at the site of Adobe Falls, a city historic landmark). The plan to expand the university's facilities into Del Cerro was initially proposed in 2005 but was blocked by a judge's ruling. The plan's Environmental Impact Report had been contested since 2005 through litigation brought by the Del Cerro Action Council, the City of San Diego, and others. On February 11, 2010, a judge issued a decision in favor of SDSU, but the city appealed the denial of its writ. The case remains under review at the Court of Appeal.

The area is vulnerable to wildfires, but residents have battled with the city over getting permission to clear brush from slopes and around homes.

Retail
The community's commercial center along Del Cerro Blvd. includes a Windmill Farms, a Chevron station with mini-mart, two liquor/deli stores, a Mexican restaurant, fitness spa, dental office, property management company that has been in Del Cerro over 50 years (FBS Property Management) and several other professional services.

Tourism
The community includes the western end of Mission Trails Regional Park.

Community groups
Volunteer community groups include the Save Del Cerro coalition, as well as the Del Cerro Action Council. The neighborhood is one of several communities represented by the Navajo Community Planners which advises the mayor and city council on land use issues in the area.

Annual events
In 2012 a group of volunteers raised over 200k to rebuild the playground at Lake Murray.

At the Lake Murray Playground a volunteer committee hosts the annual 4th of July Fireworks and Music Fest. A full day of music, food, games and fireworks!

A Block Party is held annually with live bands, food, and entertainment for children.

The private Del Cerro Park and Pool hosts an annual Fourth of July party with food and games for its membership. The park celebrated its 50th anniversary at the 2011 Fourth of July party.

Media
The area is served by the Mission Times Courier, a greater area community newspaper delivered to residents and covering Del Cerro news.

Education

 * Phoebe A. Hearst Elementary School is located on Del Cerro Blvd. *

Government
Del Cerro is located in City Council District 7 and is currently represented by Councilmember Raul Campillo. For planning purposes the city includes it in the Navajo community planning area.

Terrence Murphy (Canadian politician)

Charles Terrence Murphy (19 October 1926 – 12 July 2008) was a Canadian lawyer, politician and judge.

Early life and education
Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Murphy was the eldest son of Charlie and Monica Murphy. He attended Holy Angels Catholic School and Sault Collegiate Institute (Class of 1943), and entered St. Peter's Seminary in London, Ontario. However, a year later he transferred to Assumption College at the University of Western Ontario, from which he graduated at the age of 19 with a BA (Hon) in philosophy. From there he went to Osgoode Hall Law School.

During his time in Toronto, Murphy used to attend the home of Marshall McLuhan, who was then an English professor at the University of Toronto, for beer and conversation.

Career
In 1949, aged 22, Murphy became the youngest person in Ontario to be called to the Bar. He returned to Sault Ste. Marie and spent seven years in partnership with George Majic, before establishing his own practice.

Murphy served a term as Alderman for the City of Sault Ste. Marie in 1965. He was elected in 1968 as a Liberal member of parliament representing the Sault Ste. Marie electoral district, at which time he joined the firm of Fitzgerald, Kelleher and Kurisko.

While a member of parliament, Murphy served on the parliamentary justice committee. In 1970 he became the leader of the Canadian delegation in the North Atlantic Assembly, the body of elected representatives overseeing NATO. He was named president of the North Atlantic Assembly in 1971, and also attended meetings of a group nicknamed "the Nine Wise Men", which had been formed to review NATO policy and organization. The group consisted of one representative from each of the NATO countries, including former Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, and later West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt.

In October 1970, Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau proclaimed a state of "apprehended insurrection" under the War Measures Act in response to the kidnapping of British Trade Commissioner James Cross by Quebec separatists. Regulations under the act permitted arrest and detention without charge and banned the kidnappers' organization, the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ). Murphy objected to what he considered to be an unjustifiable suppression of civil liberties and planned to vote against the government. Trudeau met with him and told him that, if he voted against the government, he would be ejected from the Liberal caucus and barred from running for the party again, and his constituency would not receive any programmes or benefits from the government during his tenure in office. Murphy refused to support the government, but did not want his constituents to suffer as a result, so he absented himself from the House during the key vote.

Murphy returned to legal practice with the firm after his defeat in the 1972 election by New Democratic Party candidate Cyril Symes. He ran against Symes again in the 1979 election, but was again defeated.

In 1980 he was appointed Judge for the District of Sudbury/Manitoulin, becoming a judge of the Superior Court of Justice when the superior courts of the province were re-structured. He retired from the bench in 2000. Five years later, the Advocates' Society listed Murphy as one of the 50 best advocates practising in Ontario from 1950 to 2000, in the book Learned Friends.

User:Sandpiper

Hello. Came across this encyclopedia and realising how it works decided to join in. An interesting thought that anyone who wants to look something up in an encyclopedia probably does already know something about it.

More passing of time
I just checked this page some four years after the next section below was written, wondering if it needed updating. On the whole my comments on wikipedia still seem relevant. I just looked at a few things on wikipedia and read some messages, then also noticed I hadnt edited anything for a year. I suppose that reflects my being busy elsewhere, but it also reflects on wikipedia. The last time I was here I entered into potentially a huge fight over a featured article. It happened that I had been researching the subject, and looking at the article here could see some shortcomings. But, of course, a featured article is certified as perfect. Editors will fight tooth and nail to prevent it being vandalised...which frequently equates to any change at all. It is ironic that had I posted my list of criticisms the day before it was accepted FA, editors would have been running round to accomodate them. The day after, total rejection.

This is not an isolated incident. No wikipedia editor should fall into the trap of believing a FA is correct. They arent. There is always something more. Base it upon two reputable sources, and then a third will come along and contradict the first two. Then some damned interfering academic will discover something else, even with events that happened 100 years ago. Something is always turning up in someone's attic which changes preconceptions.

So all this can be dispiriting for an editor seeking to improve wikipedia. Instead of just doing it, what you need is an ongoing guerilla war to make your case. Well, that can be fun in the right circumstances, but it is hardly an effective use of resources. Maybe its inevitable. As an article improves, the balance of probability shifts away from any new edit improving it towards making it worse. A greater expertise is needed to refine the article, and judgement about the merits of an edit by anyone uninvolved become harder and harder. But wikipedia even more than before needs to guard against believing it is complete.

The passing of time
An extraordinary thing, I have been editing here for three years now. Perhaps time for a rewrite of this page, and a historical review. It is hard to say how wikipedia has changed in that time, because my understanding of it has changed also. If I have to define something, I would say it has become more bureaucratic. Wiki remains run by a small number of people with ideas. When those ideas fail to be heeded by the majority of editors, well, they just write in more detail. Instruction creep rules.

Ok, it is bigger and better. Some of that is window dresssing. There are people rushing around refining style rather than content. There are people rewriting articles repeatedly with hardly a change of the essential information. But it does improve in scope and accuracy.

This page now looks rather old fashioned. None of those boxes people seems to like. Well, they were not so fashionable when I started writing this, though what a fight to establish them. But it could be argued they exemplify the stylistic change upon wiki with info boxes everywhere. Wiki is becoming more automatic with a pronouced house style.

There seems to be a delusion creeping into wiki that one day it will be 'finished'. This seems to me unlikely. Leaving aside the queston of the sum of human knowledge, the continual rewriting of pages to accord with changing standards should keep people busy forever.

Referencing
I have written enough about this that it ought to have a section here. People are obsessed with referencing. I suppose I am the result of early influences, because I recall reading, I think Asimov describing the Encyclopedia Galactica or perhaps the imperial university, the idiocy of writing analysis based upon other's analysis, based upon analysis.... with never a thought to the original material. This seems to be mirrored on wikipedia. I would state bluntly it is not possible to write a useful reference source without expert knowledge. Obviously, you can copy one, but given the existence of copyright laws forbidding this, wikipedia cannot grow that way. Hopefully it also strives to be better than the sources of its information, and for that experts have to intervene to select the material presented here.

The sort of expert I mean is not the top world expert in that field. The expert I mean is more of a librarian. Specifically he is an experienced wiki editor. People here confuse the question of whether someone is a competent expert on the topic being written about with whether he is a competent wiki editor. Content and accuracy of wikipedia articles is not guaranteed by having expert advice from that field, or reams of references on every tiny point, but by an experienced wiki editor arranging and selecting material. This is not a new concept, it applies in every other encyclopedia. People seem to be forgetting that the guarantee of quality on wikipedia is an internal matter of how good we are at organising it. It is a major trap to believe that reams of references guarantee quality.

Concerning Politics…
Since I have made some comments on political pages I felt I should say something about my own standpoint. I have never belonged to any political party, never stood for elected office, nor in any way been employed as an advisor or lobbyist. On the other hand, I have voted in every election for which I have been eligible. I have written from time to time in my own right to governments about issues of the day. I doubt they pay much attention to such letters, but I feel perhaps they weigh the piles of paper on either side of the debate. I am a confirmed tactical voter. My normal inclination is to vote Liberal Democrat, mostly because in the very remote chance that they might win, at least it would be a change. I have also voted Labour and Conservative. More seriously, I consider electing anyone into the house of commons who is not tied to one of the main parties is highly desirable. I would be very pleased to see the house of Lords reformed to election by some form of proportional representation. The recent labour changes from entry by accident of birth to entry mainly by government appointment do not seem to me to be an improvement. At least no one can be certain that the heir to a title will turn out to support a particular party.

Concerning Wiki….
I have been here long enough now to start to get some idea of how this place works. It is quite extraordinary. There are a huge number of articles, and generally a tiny number of people concerning themselves about any one. Well, all and good. Little spats going on all the time as people argue about articles. I have watched as real tussles break out, but even what some people here consider the hardest and most intractable cases, still manage to produce articles which creep forward with improvements. A real dogfight can be the making of an article, it would seem.

What concerns me more is the really very small number of people who ever get concerned in any single decision. And some of them are quite serious. Three people having a debate between them can suddenly create a turn in ‘policy’, which is used to drastically change wiki. Consensus is then imposed on many more than ever took part in the deciding of that consensus. The highest number of people who become concerned with even the deepest issue seems to be around 100. Perhaps because there seems to be an inordinate demand for haste. Frequently people seem to want to make a decision before a significant number of people have time to notice that something is happening. There seems to be a small number of editors who see it as their business to make the rules for all those who are actually writing the encyclopedia behind their backs.

My Pet Hate…
NOR and cite sources. I have read enough wiki articles, and seen a few reviews by outsiders to notice that what wiki lacks is OPINION. A traditional encyclopedia would contain opinions where that was appropriate to the subject. Arts, literature, fashion, areas where subjective views are expected, are not dealt with well on wiki. It is far too easy for someone who hates a particular subject to come along and trash a perfectly good article on a subject where there is no real right answer, by claiming NOR and deleting the lot. This is a failing. Any article is better than no article. References are nice, alternative sources which someone can consult to get a different opinion are very nice. But these policies are used to police wiki and maintain order, rather than to nudge editors in the right direction. They are a stick which can be used to make articles worse as well as better.

Writing
So why do people write for wiki? Presumably most do it for fun, though I am sure a minority are paid to do it, with one bias or another. Hopefully all these cancel out and something good results. I hope though, that wiki editors do not think they are writing simply for themselves, but consider their wider audience. It may have become clear that I think it bad wiki strives excessively for precision. I think it would be far better if we strove for good, friendly writing style and articles easily understandable by everyone. Which is not to say they should be elementary. They should contain the most sophisticated ideas known. Just that they need to be expressed in such a way as to make them understandable by all. Did anyone ever tell you that the solution to a puzzle is obvious, just so long as you ask the question in just the right way?

My wish list?
That someone will sort out a rating system so that we can tell the public how good we think a particular article is. People using wiki need to understand that articles can be very variable in quality, and we ought to have a means of telling them if we think the article they are reading is a good one, or not. (and no, I think FA and GA have serious shortcomings. I have in mind mass peer review, by readers and ordinary editors)

Sutras (album)

Sutras is the nineteenth studio album (22nd overall) by Scottish singer/songwriter Donovan. It was released in the UK (American Recordings 74321 39743 2) and the US (American Recordings 43705) on 14 October 1996. The US version does not contain the final track, "The Garden".

History
By the mid-1990s, the CD reissues of Donovan's 1960s albums and the Troubadour: The Definitive Collection 1964-1976 boxed set reacquainted his fans with his music. These releases also introduced him to newer generations, which helped rebuild his fan base.

The success of Johnny Cash's American Recordings album prompted producer Rick Rubin to search for other artists who would benefit from the same model. While in the studio with Tom Petty, Rubin mentioned that he would like to work with Donovan. Petty suggested that he call Donovan, which he did.

Donovan agreed to have Rubin produce his next album, and prepared over one hundred songs for the recording sessions. The sessions were to feature sparse instrumentation, much like the sessions that made Cash's American Recordings such a success. Rubin insisted that Donovan listen to the folk material that Donovan recorded for Pye Records in 1964 and '65 for inspiration. The recording sessions commenced in 1995 with mixing of the song "El Dorado" in Los Angeles by Sylvia Massy. The deeply meditative Sutras was released late the following year.

Sutras received mixed reviews and failed to achieve the kind of commercial success Cash's American Recordings had. Donovan did not receive a longer contract, and Sutras became his only collaboration with Rubin; it is now out of print in the US. Yet for all its lack of commercial success, Sutras galvanized Donovan's fan base by reestablishing him as a current artist releasing new material. The internet in particular served a vital role in uniting his fans after the release of Sutras. Donovan paid close attention to this movement, and spent the next five years reorganizing his business around the internet to better reach his fans. Sutras can be seen as one of his most coherent solo efforts, since his creative period shortly after learning Transcendental Meditation and the period he spent in India with The Beatles (1967–71).

Track listing
All tracks by Donovan Leitch, except where noted. The US version of Sutras retained the same track sequence, but deleted the last song on the album ("The Garden"), making it a fourteen-track album.

Meanwhile...trying to add to the list of U.S. inventors, I came upon a dilemna. This article has the appearance of two people under one article. Therefore, I am unable to add this article to the category of U.S. Inventors. "William Painter" the inventor of the Crown Cork is an American inventor. The other "William Painter" is a school teacher, translator, and author from a different century. I'm going to add this anyways. Readers beware.

Peter Winch

Peter Guy Winch (14 January 1926 – 27 April 1997) was a British philosopher known for his contributions to the philosophy of social science, Wittgenstein scholarship, ethics, and the philosophy of religion. His early book The Idea of a Social Science and its Relation to Philosophy (1958) was an attack on positivism in the social sciences, drawing on the work of R. G. Collingwood and Ludwig Wittgenstein's later philosophy.

Biography
Winch was born on 14 January 1926, in Walthamstow, London. He attended Leyton County High School for boys, before going up to St Edmund Hall, Oxford to read Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Following the outbreak of World War II, he served in the Royal Navy 1944–47, before graduating from the University of Oxford in 1949.

He was a lecturer in philosophy at the Swansea University from 1951 until 1964. He was influenced by his colleagues Rush Rhees and Roy Holland, both experts in the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. In 1964, he moved to Birkbeck College, University of London, before becoming Professor of Philosophy at King's College London in 1967. During this period, he served as president of Aristotelian Society, from 1980 to 1981. In 1985 Winch moved to the United States to become Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

He died on the 27 April 1997, in Champaign, Illinois.

He was survived by his wife Erika Neumann and his two sons, Christopher and David.

Thought
Major influences upon Winch include Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rush Rhees, R. G. Collingwood and Simone Weil. He gave rise to a form of philosophy that has been given the name 'sociologism'. He also bears responsibility for a small school of sociology that was prepared to accept his radical criticism of the subject.

Winch saw himself as an uncompromising Wittgensteinian. He was not personally acquainted with Wittgenstein; Wittgenstein's influence upon him was mostly mediated through that of Rush Rhees, who was his colleague at the University College of Swansea, now known as Swansea University, and whom Wittgenstein appointed as one of his literary executors. Winch's translation of Wittgenstein's Vermischte Bemerkungen (as edited by Georg Henrik von Wright) was published in 1980 as Culture and Value (with a new translation by Winch of a revised edition by Alois Pichler appearing in 1998). After the death of Rhees in 1989, Winch took over his position as literary executor.

From Rush Rhees, Winch derived his interest in the religious writer Simone Weil. Part of the appeal was a break from Wittgenstein into a very different type of philosophy which could nevertheless be tackled with familiar methods. Also Weil's ascetic, somewhat Tolstoyan, form of religion harmonised with one aspect of Wittgenstein's personality.

At a time when most Anglo-American philosophers were heavily under the spell of Wittgenstein, Winch's own approach was strikingly original. While much of his work was concerned with rescuing Wittgenstein from what he took to be misreadings, his own philosophy involved a shift of emphasis from the problems that preoccupied Oxford style ‘linguistic’ philosophy, towards justifying and explaining 'forms of life' in terms of consistent language games. He took Wittgensteinian philosophy into areas of ethics and religion, which Wittgenstein himself had relatively neglected, sometimes showing considerable originality. An example is his illuminating treatment of the moral difference between someone who tries and fails to commit murder and someone who succeeds, in his essay "Trying" in Ethics and Action. With the decline of interest in Wittgenstein, Winch himself was increasingly neglected and the challenge his arguments presented to much contemporary philosophy was sidestepped or ignored. In insisting on the continuity of Wittgenstein's concerns from the Tractatus through to the Philosophical Investigations, Winch made a powerful case for Wittgenstein's mature philosophy, as he understood it, as the consummation and legitimate heir of the entire analytic tradition.

Wittgenstein famously said that philosophy leaves the world as it is. Winch takes his ideas into regions that have strong moral and political implications.

South Sandwich Trench

The South Sandwich Trench is a deep arcuate trench in the South Atlantic Ocean lying 100 km to the east of the South Sandwich Islands. It is the deepest trench of the Southern Atlantic Ocean, and the second-deepest of the Atlantic Ocean after the Puerto Rico Trench. Since the trench extends south of the 60th parallel south, it also contains the deepest point in the Southern Ocean.

The deepest point in the entire trench is the Meteor Deep, whose location prior to February 2019 was identified as at a depth of 8202 m. This sounding was made during the German Meteor expedition. The depth is named after the German survey ship Meteor, which first surveyed the area as part of its namesake expedition in 1926. The deepest point below the 60th parallel south, the deepest point in the Southern Ocean, is dubbed by Victor Vescovo as the Factorian Deep, a name that he hopes will become official. This point lies at a depth of 7433.6 m, and is the only subzero Hadal zone in the world.

The trench is 965 km long and has a maximum depth of 8,266 m below sea level at, as measured by a Kongsberg EM124 multibeam sonar from February 2–7, 2019 during the Five Deeps Expedition. This measurement was made during the first complete sonar mapping of the trench which covered its entire length, with a measurement error of +/- 11 m. The deepest point of the South Sandwich Trench is only 110 m shallower than the deepest point in the Puerto Rico Trench, sometimes known as the Milwaukee or Brownson Deep.

The trench is produced by the subduction of the southernmost portion of the South American Plate beneath the small South Sandwich Plate. The South Sandwich Islands constitute a volcanic island arc which results from this active subduction. Mount Belinda on Montagu Island is an active volcano.

Meteor Deep 2019 survey

In February 2019, however, the Five Deeps Expedition, led by its survey ship DSSV Pressure Drop, has recommended that the location of the Meteor Deep be "relocated" to the newly discovered, truly deepest location at and 8,266 m ± 13 m in depth, given the precision of the new survey. This new deepest point is part of the same subsurface feature as the previous Meteor Deep location so the expedition recommended keeping the old name.

Pressure Drop completed an entire survey of the trench on February 9, 2019, and made the data publicly available to GEBCO in 2019. Approximately ten other major subsurface features including various deeps, seamounts, and ridges—previously unidentified—were mapped by the vessel and new names for the features were submitted to the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) in 2019.

"Factorian Deep" crewed descent
The southernmost portion of the South Sandwich Trench reaches south of 60°S latitude and is therefore in the Southern Ocean. The maximum depth of that ocean is also in the South Sandwich Trench, which was surveyed by the Five Deeps Expedition in early February 2019. The expedition's sonar team identified the deepest point at, with a depth of 7,434 m ± 13 m. The expedition leader and chief submersible pilot Victor Vescovo has proposed naming this deepest point in the Southern Ocean the "Factorian Deep," based on the name of the crewed submersible DSV Limiting Factor, in which he successfully visited the bottom for the first time on February 4, 2019. The deepest points of a maritime trench have historically been named after the vessel that first discovered or explored them.

Talk:Taste of Chicago

The History
This year in 2006 will be the 26th Annual Taste of Chicago. That means it should have started in the 1980 summer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.252.102.59 (talk • contribs)

I think someone should add the musical groups that have performed at the Taste on July 4th (this is generally the date of the biggest concert which tends to attract some very big name musical acts, i.e. in recent years these have included Moby and Santana). Not Logged-In Wiki User MPet 12.73.242.31 07:07, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it moved right from North Michigan to Grant Park in one year. I remember the first Taste as a kid and remember some subsequent ones taking place on Navy Pier. This would have been about '85 or '86. Anyone else remember that? I also seem to remember it staying on North Michigan for more than one year. I'll try to dig up some research.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Help me! (Time/Date userboxes)
I need help regarding to make the userboxes (User:Ryansworld100000/CurrentTime User:Ryansworld100000/CurrentDate) I made regarding time to make it customizable to be set to a user's timezone, have his/her hometown and to adjust for DST.

 * You'll want to take a look at the examples at Userboxes/Time. Adjusting the time for the user's timezone is easy, but DST will be difficult. Apparently User:Thayts/Userboxes/DST in user time zone does that trick; you'll want to check it out. Modifying the date according to the user's time zone and DST will then require the same methods, with a little more effort to account for leap days and whatnot.

 * Thank you. I'll look into that. Ryan (talk) 23:06, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Greetings. I am concerned that statements about the helpfulness, friendliness or "family" of residents of a particular locale might be a form of trumpeting that would violate NPOV. I am still new to this community, so if I am way off base, please enlighten me and I will keep my mouth shut in the future. :) Sinecostan 06:04, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
