Clout
Thank you

Thanks and EGF
Thanks for your support of my Adminship nomiantion. Also, I saw epidermal-derived growth factor on vfd, techincally it is just epidermal growth factor, the information on the receptor may warrant a seperate article on the EGF receptor, but I would tend toward keeping the hormone and receptor in one article for now--nixie 02:38, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Do you know who
Codes wikipedia? I am thinking of using the number of edits as a median to determine ranking. I want to know if it is feasable to generate a dynamic wikipedia page for users who want to be ranked. --Cool Cat My Talk 04:27, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Head template
You are using my old code, I improved it greatly ;) Infact you are welcome to use my template if you like, I welcome any suggestions :) --Cool Cat My Talk 04:28, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Template
Well, I dont care too much about news (editwise) either, but it keeps you up to date so one isnt too terribly ignorant. You can delete the news part if you like :). By the way what do you think of the red box and my new user page? --Cool Cat My Talk 07:24, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete 4 me
Can you delete this for me? I no longer have a use for it as I restructured my page. --Cool Cat My Talk 07:30, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) User:Coolcat/Watched
 * Thanks --Cool Cat My Talk 01:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Fact of the Day...
Appears to be dead, I dont think its been continued as "Did you Know" is sufficient. :) --Cool Cat My Talk 01:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My greatest work has been completed!!!
I finished the archival bot. It was no easy task. But it is done. I will let you check over the contributions first before I schedule it to run every certain amount of specified days. -- AllyUnion (talk) 02:38, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Nevermind... still has bugs. -- AllyUnion (talk) 03:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

my status/development box
Thanks for your comments at User talk:Violetriga/statusdevelopment. It's now been implemented using an example set of templates - would be great if you took a second look. Cheers, violet/riga (t) 16:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * While a top and bottom to the box would look good, I think that it would further complicate things. With the way I've tried to do it I'm hoping that it would be both backwards compatible and not require any changes to the existing systems: to highlight something as a FAC you would still just add fac, for example.  Talk:Automatic number plate recognition is:
 * oldpeerreview
 * featured
 * iwc1-nom
 * To change to the new system would just require the templates updated and the first two to be swapped around (though even that is a minor aesthetic point). violet/riga (t) 16:40, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

DYK
I will try to do that. I noticed the upcoming DYK pool was sorta dry, so I went and looked a couple of times, and didn't see anything much that I wanted to work with. That is why I dusted off a couple of items I had on hold. Yours in Richmond, Mark Vaoverland 22:12, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

That's hot
Two months ago, you previously deleted thats hot after consensus to do so on VFD. Since there was a spelling error in the title, I didn't know that article had been done until I created my own that's hot, which is much more cleaned-up than the other article (it's wikified, concise, and has four sources). I want to know what you think of it. About notability, I received over 900,000 hits by searching the terms "that's hot Paris Hilton." Mike H 10:59, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

DYK
I went through the newest articles but couldn't find anything interesting enough for me to write or even condense a blurb for DYK. I did work up a couple of new ones with some non-US content however. Yours in Richmond, Mark. Vaoverland 20:21, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

Mummy
Thanks for the note. Ancient Egypt is not my field but as it happens I know someone who has studied it and I'll see what she says. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:06, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Template:Kurdistan/Pictures
Someone is deleting this as fast as I can bring it back, who is deleting it and why not bother leave a msg to discussion or the author, there is no reason to have alergy against templates. --Cool Cat My Talk 17:15, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Templates
By definition are used in multiple articles. That template was used in 2 articles before it was deleted. Both Kurds and Kurdistan need that. Also History of the kurds, and basicaly anything related to kurds probably needs it, as anything kurd related is more than likely to mention kurdistan at a point. Topic is rather boring I think. --Cool Cat My Talk 22:06, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I do not understand the alergy towards templates. No harm was done, no info was removed. See how I used templates in Ranks and insignia of Starfleet and Ranks and Insignia of NATO. Ranks of NATO officers, starfleet officers are unlikely to change. If any article related to Belgian Army, ranks are avalible for display with one simlple template. I am an engineer, I try to do more with less. :) I do not understand what my "bad" conduct is. I do not appriciate the fact that my templates get deleted lightning fast and me not notified. Based on what concensius are they deleted is what it gets me. Files became orphan because someone reverted the article, was trying to be productive I believe. --Cool Cat My Talk 22:11, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Kurds are a very fragile topic, should be aproached with care, just like many other Turkey related material. I Search and destroy pov. I introduce govermental data. If I introduced POV people are welcome to discuss, I do not welcome all my edits on pages including spelling corrections be reverted, but you know that. --Cool Cat My Talk 22:06, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This is what I think. What do you think? --Cool Cat My Talk 22:11, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Question
Hi, I don't know how to put a link to my contributions on my user page. I didn't know who to ask, so I picked you. Howabout1 03:08, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome
It was my pleasure. As vandalism goes, it was somewhat odd, but then again there is much I don't understand. — Knowledge Seeker দ 07:50, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for resizing the photo. Can I get a link to where I can learn how to do it?

Regards, Bobby Awasthi

Aplogies
Now that I have used Wikipedia for a few days I am beginning to see the process in action and am liking it more each day. I do believe this is the best possible solution for the problem at hand, I just didn't understand some things when I started reading deletions. i.e. Some obscure American Idol contestant entry was allowed to stand, but an entry about a historical figure in Women's history was being deleted. However, I do think this system comes to the best resolution 90% of the time and pop culture will erase itself eventually... (Comment by User:Mpetre)

Survey help
Hi! Thanks for the offer of help with my survey. If I can find your MSN username, I'll be sure to try to catch you sometime. Should be all ready to do it either late this week, or early next. Thanks again! — PMcM 20:31, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

(Just got your survey results, with e-mail/MSN details.) — PMcM 20:34, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Hello again! I've been looking out for you on MSN, but I don't think I've managed to be online at a time when you also are. I'm usually online from around 1300 UTC to 0000 UTC. Possibly there is some technical problem (like one of us having our block list set or something) which is getting in the way? If you could possibly contact me either through my talk page, or e-mail, we can hopefully sort something out. Thanks. — PMcM 22:28, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately I can't help, as I don't know any more about them than is in the article (which I didn't start). Deb 11:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

170.158.96.99's block
I noticed on the talk page that 170.158.96.99 was blocked sometime around 21 March. You didn't mention how long the block was, but a quick check of the contributions shows two edits in the last two weeks, both of which were vandalism. Either this user is violating the block, or has simply continued old habits. —chris.lawson (talk) 17:33, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I have an update on this user if you're willing to handle the admin portion of re-blocking it. I've been in dialogue via e-mail with the maintainer of the netblock, and he's given his approval to extend the block on this IP through 25 April. I've got the e-mails if you'd like to contact me privately, or I can post them here. —chris.lawson (talk) 01:30, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * You've Got Mail™ ;) —chris.lawson (talk) 13:27, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * He's back again. Vandalised Hafez al-Assad yesterday morning (26 April). How are those talks with the sysadmin there going?—chris.lawson (talk) 04:51, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Signpost and featured articles
If you'd like to take a regular beat and write about new featured article and featured picture candidates, that would be wonderful. You could even start this week if you like, because the last few weeks my efforts to cover that area have been limited by time constraints.

To answer your question, yes, I did get the list of promotions straight from Goings-on. Unless there's a particular news item (like the 500 mark, or the 17-in-a-week record), I try to pick one or two nominations that would be the most interesting to write about, then briefly mention the rest of the promotions. The ones you focus on might not always be successful candidates — stuff that doesn't get promoted sometimes gives you more interesting material.

While I'm gone, I've asked User:Sj to be the guest editor. For his benefit, and because as more people get involved more organization is needed, we're asking reporters to get stories in by midnight UTC on Saturdays. They don't need to be completely polished, and they can and should be updated if more things happen on Sunday (like additional promotions), but we'd like to have the basic elements of the story by then. We have a newsroom set up for The Signpost now to help coordinate this.

Thanks for your help on this project, both past and future. --Michael Snow 06:10, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'll leave this here, because it's semi on topic. Yes, it is quite unfortunate there are so many unreferenced, but I doubt any of it is because newbies edited them out in error. Primarily the issue is references weren't a FA requirement before September 2004 or so, so many before that were just written from the editor's knowledge. While I certainly don't mind writing the draft, I'd like to stay away from self promotion. I'll put up something about the facts and what is going on and someone can edit it up a bit. Thanks - Taxman 15:59, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can do that. - Taxman 12:35, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, sorry, a little late, but a draft is now at User:Taxman/Featured article referencing. I guess it should just be added as a tidbit along with the rest of the coverage on FA's. Thanks - Taxman 14:50, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

A Quick Hello
A Quick Hello to the jewel who makes this Wiki-Wacky place worth visiting. I've been out of the loop for the time being because Fadix is too committed to keep up with; he now has allies, and apparent clear sailing. However, I did leave a response on the following Talk page, if you're feeling masochistic. Best to you, --Torque April 13, 2005

Olympiade
Hi, Mgm. Since you can speak Dutch, can you look at the Olympiade article, I thought it looked like a dump of text from a book and slapped on a -tag, but maybe an  would be more in order. Sjakkalle 11:47, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Signpost article about template standardisation
I've had a go at a signpost article (here) and tried to represent it in as NPOV a way as possible. Obviously it would be best if you could take a look and see what you think of it before it's suggested for inclusion, or if you'd like to invite JDG to run through it then that would be fine with me. Cheers, violet/riga (t) 12:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * You're more than welcome to do whatever you wish to the write-up - I know there are some bits missing, and have probably written it with some bias. violet/riga (t) 20:18, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

DYK Script... complete!
I think I got rid of all the bugs. Please check the bot's contributions to see if everything went okay. I checked it, and it seemed fine. Now, the only question left is how often do you want this to run? Every day, every week, every month? -- AllyUnion (talk) 13:15, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops. I'm glad you caught that last minor bug. -- AllyUnion (talk) 21:54, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Okay, just to let you know what the bot is looking for:
 * 1) On Template talk:Did you know:
 * 2) * Find the text: " ===ARCHIVE USED SUGGESTIONS HERE=== "
 * 3) * Process did you know lines. Where a Did you know line is the text from "*...that" to the next "*...that".  If it can't find another "*...that", check if it has reached the ending search text.
 * 4) * Stop processing did you know lines until it reachs this text: " All older items have been archived at Recent additions. Please check the item archive to help check if other items are archived at "Recent Additions" or one of its archives as well. "
 * 5) On Recent additions:
 * 6) * Find the first " "
 * 7) * Stop processing until the second " "
 * 8) On an archive page like, Recent additions 25, skip the first four lines, which will have the two header templates, a new blank line and the section title.

So, to answer your question whether or not comment lines will screw up the bot, not really. If it fails to find the start and stop, then it will screw up horribly. -- AllyUnion (talk) 22:24, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Please protect images when adding them to DYK
Hi there. I noticed that you added an image to Template:Did you know. Please protect images that you add there to avoid vandalism. Thanks! -Frazzydee|✍ 20:23, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response :) No problem, just a friendly reminder so that we can avoid autofellatio and penis pics on the main page ;) I didn't unprotect the old one, so I'll go do that now. Thanks for reminding me. -Frazzydee|✍ 20:30, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

User:Allen3/Templates/Gray2
Thanks for your comment. I have seen the same thing you have, and can assure you that it is not my intention to have black on black. The problem may be related to current loading of the server, but the few times I saw this while working on the set of templates hitting the reload button corrected this issue. --Allen3 talk 21:40, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

User:Radicalsubversive
A user has accused me of being another user. I don't know the history of all this, but would like to disprove his claim and put him in his place. I couldn't find anything about in search but is there some way of leaving my contact details with the Wikipedia staff so I can pursue the matter. Thanks. And thanks for welcoming me. Lagavulin 23:57, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Please see WP:RFAr, User talk:Radicalsubversiv, WP:AN/I, and Talk:Oliver North, among other places, for background information on this "new" user. RadicalSubversiv E 00:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This is just outlandish. I didn't even know Radicalsubversive had written such things about me! There is one Wikipedia - read one - account on my computer. Wikipedia staff can come and check at any time or talk to me directly about it. For the record I am not Ger6.2C, Nulla, or anyone else. I am Lagavulin, a nom de plume admittedly but I would be happy to give my full name, contact details and even arrange a time to inspect my PC to Wikipedia staff. Can't do much better than that.

Signpost
Hi. I was reading your new article in the Signpost newsroom about Fa's and admins, and I wanted to let you know that the user Mindspillage is female, not male as indicated in your article:). Otherwise, looks good! Cheers, Bratsche talk  random 04:14, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Glad your work got properly edited! I wasn't editing much over the weekend; the current edition of the Quarto is going through copyedits and initial translation right now.  But I will be around more actively if you need feedback this week.  +sj  +  08:50, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Signpost
Uh, actually the anon was me, somehow I got logged out while working on that one. I did think the material about the disagreement needed to be cut back, because it's a pretty run-of-the-mill edit war, although if I've somehow misrepresented anyone's views or actions with the rewrite please feel free to fix it. --Michael Snow 08:29, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Just a few more minutes, I still need to edit Worldtraveller's press coverage articles and I'll be done. --Michael Snow 08:56, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

signpost article
Yes, I'll be able to look at it in another handful of hours. Let me know when you have a first draft up! So at least I have some idea of how it's progressing... even if it's not ready for editing yet. I'll be writing tonight myself. +sj +  03:03, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, MGM! You rock.  +sj  +

My features
Hi Mgm - before Eldfell, I'd successfully seen two articles through all the way from creation to featured, and 6 others to featured from stub-ness, they're all listed on my user page. I also wrote a large proportion of Lord Dufferin, which is also featured. Worldtraveller 14:40, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

TV
Thanks v much for updating my rather vain notice of next TV appearance! Have to say I was disappointed that we didn't get the San Serriffe question as well, as well as a couple of others, one about the Great Auk which I totally knew but I was being too cautious on the buzzer. Still, like the great Fangio once said, the aim is to win by the least amount you have to :) It was filmed way back in October last year, quite strange for me watching it now, six months later.  Worldtraveller 16:38, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hello, Mgm. Thanks for your vote at my adminship nomination. I appreciate the support. Cheers! — Trilobite (Talk) 13:27, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Template:Did you know
Hmmm. I see I didn't understand how the procedure works. There was nothing about a bot. Should I try again or is it not worth my while? Gdr 21:19, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)

Blocking
Thank you for telling me that. The reason why I blocked this user permanently is that he/she has been particularly troublesome over the last couple of weeks. He has a history of vandalism, under several IP aliases, and he spews antisemitic comments across the talk page of any user who is Jewish, or who has a Jewish-sounding name. He is VERY determined, and short term blocks DON'T work with him, I'll tell you, as will others who have had dealings with him. That's why I've been so heavy-handed in blocking him permanently. Still, I understand your position, so I'll give it a chance to work. David Cannon 11:50, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I wanted to include the "(administrator)" tag in my name, which is not usually included in my signature.  I have a boilerplate script on my computer that I just paste when I want to do that; it includes the date and time also.  The four Tildas won't do it, as I haven't set it up to put the administrator tag in.  As 99 percent of my edits don't need it, I see little point in setting it up that way.

I take your point, however, and will avoid this way in future. David Cannon 12:41, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

DYK bot...
I think it works still... not too terribly certain. You'll just have to wait when the 1st of next month rolls around. -- AllyUnion (talk) 23:18, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Double check it please. -- AllyUnion (talk) 11:29, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Might be some strange text or something that was left on the archive page. I can't program the bot to understand with 100% accuracy of what to do... since people might do weird stuff. -- AllyUnion (talk) 11:53, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks like a very minor error with the code... but possibly was screwed up by weird stuff on the page. Eh.  It looks like it does the job with say... 97% accuracy.  Just may need some human checking on it each month. -- AllyUnion (talk) 11:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks like it also carried over its minor mistakes too... I don't know why that is... I'll have to look into it when I get some free time. -- AllyUnion (talk) 11:58, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

My RFA
Thank you for your comments on my RFA. Although the voting period just ended with a 14-8-2 vote, I will admit once and for all that I used it more as an evaluation of myself. Being promoted would have been a plus. I was more interested in who voted, when they voted, who would change their votes and when, and the comments I would receive. Hopefully I will correct the main weakness that was raised by those who voted oppose -- that I was too eager to put articles on VFD. Also, I will try to interact more with those Wikipedians who did not vote at all.

As for next month, I don't know if I will nominate myself again. I might not think about it until somebody else puts me up there on RFA at a later date. Eventually, I see myself as an admin, especially as the number of articles and users continues to grow. Thanks again and good luck at improving this vast archive of free knowledge.

User talk:Wimvandorst/Haloalkane

This article is a merger of generic arcticles Alkyl halide, Freon, Halon, CFC, and HCFC. Several other general articles redirect to these four, e.g., HFC. This new merged article primarily tries to present the chemical compounds, and gives the environmental issues a fair touch. The specific chemical products, focussing on one chemical compound each, such as tetrachloromethane are not merged into this article. Wim van Dorst 15:49, 2005 May 29 (UTC).

Curtis Amy

Curtis Edward Amy (October 11, 1927 – June 5, 2002) was an American jazz saxophonist.

Biography
Amy was born in Houston, Texas, United States. He learned how to play clarinet before joining the Army, and during his time in service, picked up the tenor saxophone. After his discharge, he attended and graduated from Kentucky State College. He worked as an educator in Tennessee while playing in midwestern jazz clubs. In the mid-1950s, he relocated to Los Angeles and later signed with Pacific Jazz Records, often playing with organist Paul Bryant. In the mid-1960s, he spent three years as musical director of Ray Charles' orchestra, together with his wife, Merry Clayton, and Steve Huffsteter.

As well as leading his own bands and recording albums under his own name, Amy did session work and played the solos on several recordings, including The Doors song "Touch Me", Carole King's Tapestry, and Lou Rawls' first albums, Black and Blue and Tobacco Road, coinciding with Dexter Gordon in the Onzy Matthews big band, as well as working with Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell and Smokey Robinson.

Up until his death, he was married to singer and recording artist Merry Clayton. Their son, Kevin Amy has also pursued a musical career.

Carole King's song "Jazzman", from her 1974 album Wrap Around Joy, was inspired by her experience working with Amy on the Tapestry album.

Samuel Ogle

Samuel Ogle (c. 1694 – 3 May 1752) was the 16th, 18th and 20th Proprietary Governor of Maryland from 1731 to 1732, 1733 to 1742, and 1746/1747 to 1752.

Background
The Ogle family was quite prominent for many centuries in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England. He was the eldest son of Samuel Ogle (1659–1719), Member of Parliament for, and commissioner of the revenue for Ireland, by his second wife, Ursula, daughter of Sir Robert Markham, 2nd Baronet, and widow of Altham Annesley, 1st Baron Altham. The Ogles descended from the Barons Ogle, an ancient Northern English Family allied with the Manners of Rutland, Cavendish's of Newcastle, Barons de Ros, and ancient Norman House of Percy.

Governorship
Samuel Ogle became a captain of a cavalry regiment in the British Army. Appointed as Provincial Governor of Maryland by Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore on 7 December 1731, he was dispatched to Colonial America in 1732.

Cresap's War
Under Ogle's leadership Maryland quickly became engaged in a border dispute with Pennsylvania. Several settlers were taken prisoners on both sides and Penn sent a committee to Governor Ogle to resolve the situation. Rioting broke out in the disputed territory (now known as Cresap's War) and Ogle appealed to the King George II for resolution.

Faced with this situation, Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore arrived in Maryland and assumed charge of the colony in December 1732. Upon Calvert's arrival, Ogle retired from the governorship for the first time. He would do this twice more. He resumed the governorship in 1733.

The border dispute would not be settled until 1767 when the Mason-Dixon line was recognized as the boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Return to England
In 1740, Ogle was dispatched to England following England's declaration of war against Spain and left Benjamin Tasker Sr. with power of attorney and "the task of supervising the construction of a new house at Belair."

In 1741, Ogle married the much younger Anne Tasker (1723–1817), daughter of Benjamin Tasker Sr. and Anne Bladen.

Belair and Horse Racing
In 1743, Benjamin Tasker built the Belair Mansion on a 7000 acre tobacco plantation in Collington, Maryland, now known as Bowie, Maryland on behalf of Ogle. Upon his return to the Province, Ogle founded the "Belair Stud," a stable of thoroughbred horses at Belair that would continue in operation for more than 200 years. A lover of his native country's popular sport of thoroughbred horse racing, Ogle is credited with introducing the sport to North America, staging the first English-style race at Annapolis, Maryland in 1745.

Death and legacy
Samuel Ogle died in 1752 and was interred at St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Annapolis. He and his wife Anne had five children: Anne, Samuel, Benjamin Ogle who became Governor of the State of Maryland, Mary and Mellora.

Samuel Ogle Junior High School (now Middle School) in Bowie, Maryland, was named after him.

Differences between Mircosoft Paint and Office Picture Manager
Microsoft Paint can resize (Image/Stretch/Skew...), crop (using the handles to the side of the image) and convert pictures into different formats (Save As supports jpg, gif, png and tif). Are there any other differences between the two? --Kel-nage 15:21, 29 May 2005.>3rd july 2010>>> paint is a basic bitmap graphics painting software and comes free with windows.it allows you to use many tools such as colour fill,pencil,paintbrush,shapes,magnifier and also allows you to add text.

office picture manager is allows you to edit,share and view your image.picture manager will correct your image to the way you want them such as making the tone of the picture brighter or make it dim.it comes with microsoft starting version 2003. you can copy and paste images from picture manager and use them on any other document.(iram birmingham)

Image Editor or Image Viewer?
While it has a cumbersome and somewhat strange interface, Picture Manager is an Image Viewer before a Bitmap Editor. Maybe a category change would be aplicable? Memo 00:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Comparison to paint
I feel this is unfair - it's closer to Picasa in it's capabilities.

If you try to resize something in paint it comes out all pixelly and mushed up, in OPM it's much cleaner.

Stub notice removal?
I've expanded the article somewhat, but I don't know yet if the stub message should be removed or not. -Mardus 01:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

MS Again go the wrong way (Office 2003 to Office 2007)
I modified my XP so when I right click on a pic and click on Edit it will open Picture Manger. The Office 2003 works great. It open the picture and ready to edit no matter where the picture is located. But with Picture Manager 2007, it default to open in "My Pictures" folder. No more "File>Open" or "Ctrl + O". I could add the "Shortcut picture" folder but I never know where the pic I'll be opening next time. And when I right click and edit the picture like I did in 2003, it just open the "My Picture" folder and does nothing. This is so annoying. What a big step backward.

Whitgift School

Whitgift School is an Independent day school with limited boarding in South Croydon, London. Along with Trinity School of John Whitgift and Old Palace School it is owned by the Whitgift Foundation, a charitable trust. The school was previously a grammar school and direct grant grammar school, but the school's headmaster is now a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.

History
Whitgift School was founded in 1596 by the Archbishop of Canterbury John Whitgift and opened in 1600 as part of the Whitgift Foundation which had the aim of building a hospital and school in Croydon for the "poor, needy and impotent people" from the parishes of Croydon and Lambeth. Originally located in North End, Croydon in 1931 it moved to its current site, Haling Park, which was once home to Lord Howard of Effingham, the Lord High Admiral of the Fleet sent against the Spanish Armada.

Originally a day school, boarding was introduced in 1992, and a boarding house was opened for the 2013–14 school year. Between 1871 and 1946 the school was known as Whitgift Grammar School, after which it relinquished its direct grant and became a fully independent school known as 'Whitgift School'.

Grounds and buildings
Whitgift is located in a 45 acre parkland site. The ship (a model of HMS Ark Royal, the flagship of Lord Howard of Effingham against the Spanish Armada) that features prominently on the top of the school hall is a reminder of the history of the site. Additions since the 400th anniversary of the school have been a maze in the founder's garden, an aviary, an enclosure for Prevost's squirrels, ponds and a sports complex.

The original buildings have been supplemented by many additions and improvements including a Music School and Concert Hall, an integrated facility for science, technology, art and design together with library and resource centres, a separate Lower School building, and a major new Sports and Conference Centre which was opened in February 2005. A new Art Department, Performing Arts Centre and a new Sixth Form Centre were completed in the middle of 2011.

Whitgift has a wide variety of animals, including peacocks on the grounds since the 1930s, and flamingos. In 2005 Sir David Attenborough visited the school to open the ponds, the enclosure of which also houses various waterfowl, including Hawaiian geese.

Admissions
Most boys are admitted to the school at the ages of 10 or 11 with smaller numbers of boys enter the school at 12, 13, 14 and 16. Entry is based on performance in entrance exams and interviews.

Education
Since 2005, Whitgift has offered the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme to the Sixth Form as an optional alternative to A-Levels, as well as BTEC qualifications in sport and business studies.

Co-curricular activities
Whitgift School offers co-curricular activities within the school. This is reflected in the sporting facilities as well as an array of musical activities.

Combined Cadet Force
Whitgift has a combined cadet force. The school has partnerships with two local state schools St. Andrews C of E High School and Thomas More School, allowing their students to take part in CCF activities.

Sport
The school fields teams in a range of sports and has a sports and conference centre which hosts competitions the Health & Fitness Centre, a 55 station gym and group exercise studio are open to students and their families. The Women's GB Handball team has trained on occasions at the School as has the England Korfball steam.

In hockey Whitgift won the National Indoor Hockey Championships at Under 15 and Under 18 levels in 2011. The school also become national Under 18 golf champions for the first time in 2014 at Carnoustie. The first recorded cricket match held on the school ground occurred in 1898 when the school played University College School. From 2003 to 2011 the school ground hosted 12 List-A matches for county club Surrey.

Empire (2002 film)

Empire is a 2002 American gangster film written and directed by Franc. Reyes. It stars John Leguizamo, Peter Sarsgaard, Denise Richards, Sônia Braga, Isabella Rossellini, Fat Joe, and Treach. The film premiered at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival and was given a theatrical release on December 6, 2002.

Plot
Victor "Vic" Rosa is a drug dealer in New York City who sells a specific brand of heroin called "Empire". His territory is located in the South Bronx, where he and his other rivals, Hector ("Exorcist"), Tito ("Severe"), and Negro ("Dancing Queen") all maintain an uneasy truce because they all purchase their drugs from the same supplier, drug lord Joanna "La Colombiana" Menendez.

Victor's girlfriend Carmen invites him to a chic white-collar party being thrown by her friend Trish and her boyfriend Jack Wimmer, an investment banker. He then asks for and is given permission by La Colombiana's younger brother Rafael to assassinate local kingpin Tito. A shootout occurs, which results in Tito and his young son being killed. With a baby on the way, Vic decides to go straight, and begins to invest money with Jack, receiving significant returns. His friendship with Jack affords Vic a whole new lifestyle, and creates a rift between him and Carmen.

Jack offers Vic an investment opportunity for over 300% return, but there's a catch: the minimum buy-in is $4.5 million, $1.5 million more than Vic has. He approaches La Colombiana with an offer, in which she agrees to lend Vic the money he needs, if he gives her a 500% return and stops a feud between his best friend Jimmy and rival dealer Hector.

Despite Vic's best efforts, the feud escalates and Jimmy kills Hector. La Colombiana orders Vic to kill Jimmy, but instead Vic tells Jimmy to leave town instead. Vic receives his money and gives it to Jack, who disappears the next day. Victor tracks him down and attempts to reclaim his money, but kills Jack and Trish when they resist. He escapes with Carmen and her family to Puerto Rico and opens a bar on the south side of the island with what little money he has left.

At the end of the movie, Vic is preparing to head to the hospital to see the birth of his child when Rafael arrives and shoots him in the head. The movie ends with Vic lying dead.

Production
The film is the directorial debut of Franc. Reyes. Reyes was inspired to make the film based on his experiences growing up in the South Bronx and losing friends to the crack epidemic. Reyes said his film is different from other gangster films, such as Scarface and Blood In, Blood Out, because it is directed by a Latino.

Empire began filming in New York in September of 2000.

Release
Empire premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2002 in the American Spectrum section. Universal Pictures and Arenas Entertainment picked up the film for US$650,000 and released it on December 6, 2002 in 867 theaters.

Reception
Empire received negative reviews. It carries a score of 21% on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 101 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "In terms of the gangster genre, Empire's story is yet another tired retread."

In a review that awarded 2 and ½ stars out of 4, Roger Ebert wrote "’Empire' comes so close to working that you can see there from here. It has the right approach and the right opening premise, but it lacks the zest and it goes for a plot twist instead of trusting the material. I recently saw 'Goodfellas' again, and this film is similar; they're both about the rise and fall of a gangster, narrated by himself, and complicated by a wife who walks out when she catches him with another woman. And 'Empire' has a story hook that could have transformed this story into another classic."

In a positive review, Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote the film "has a capacity to surprise" and "Gangland hits here are more clumsy and personal, more small-town and familial, than in the usual gangster movie. The fresh take makes for a fresh experience." LaSalle concluded, "In the end, the story of 'Empire' gets completely crazy, and pretty improbable, as if Reyes quit writing about what he knew and started throwing in any wild thing he could think of. Still, the movie stays compelling, if only because we can never guess where it might go."

Benátky nad Jizerou

Benátky nad Jizerou (Benatek) is a town in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 7,900 inhabitants. The historic town centre is well preserved and is protected by law as an urban monument zone.

Administrative parts
The town is made up of the town parts of Benátky nad Jizerou I–III and the villages of Dražice and Kbel.

Geography
Benátky nad Jizerou is located about 15 km south of Mladá Boleslav and 30 km northeast of Prague. It lies in the Jizera Table. The highest point is the hill Benátecký vrch at 251 m above sea level. The Jizera River flows through the town.

History
The first written mention of the village of Obodř (today part of Benátky nad Jizerou III) is from 1052. In 1264, the Dražice Castle was founded. In 1346 Lord Jan of Dražice obtained permission to establish a town on a nearby hill. The town was named Nové Benátky (lit. "New Venice"). In 1349, the monastery and the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary were built.

Economy
The village of Dražice is known for the manufacturer of water heaters DZ Dražice. It is the biggest company of its focus in the country, known throughout Europe. The company was founded in 1900, originally as grain warehouse, craft roller mill and bakery, later also a hydroelectric power plant. The water heaters are produced since 1956.

Juru kunci

Juru kunci are the custodians of graveyards and other sites considered sacred in Java, Indonesia. The name means "keepers of the keys" or "key master".

A notable exception from graveyards is the juru kunci who maintain a presence on the side of volcanoes such as Mbah Maridjan.

At many graveyards, they are also the performers of tahlil and enforcers of the protocol of ziarah at their respective graveyards.

When the graveyard has royal patronage (e.g. Yogyakarta or Surakartan) the juru kunci is given a name, status, and a very limited honorarium and is part of an extensive network of guardians over ancestral and sacred graves.

Exemplary examples of the juru kunci at their most significant are at Imogiri and Kota Gede. Here the two palaces share the responsibility over the relevant sections of the graveyard.

In West Java, a juru kunci is called kuncen.

Another popular juru kunci is the Juru Kunci of The Forbidden Forest of the Upper Cibeet River, Ceceng Rusmana or Ki Juru Kunci Girang Tampian. He protects the forest which is sacred and holy from exploitation because that forbidden forest is heritage from his forefather in Dayeuhluhur, Cilacap, Java.

The mission and philosophy of juru kunci is to lock all bad secrets and take care of all good things to make harmony between the community, tradition, and nature. Same with mandates from ancestors.

Among football fans, teams who stayed at the bottom rank are also jokingly called juru kunci. This refers to the habit of the juru kunci to stay very close to or actually in the site they are guarding, and rarely travel far from the site they are guarding due to their responsibilities.

Hydraulic lime

Hydraulic lime (HL) is a general term for calcium oxide, a variety of lime also called quicklime, that sets by hydration. This contrasts with calcium hydroxide, also called slaked lime or air lime that is used to make lime mortar, the other common type of lime mortar, which sets by carbonation (re-absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air). Hydraulic lime provides a faster initial set and higher compressive strength than air lime, and hydraulic lime will set in more extreme conditions, including under water.

The terms 'hydraulic lime' and 'hydrated lime' are quite similar and may be confused but are not necessarily the same material. Hydrated lime is any lime which has been slaked whether it sets through hydration, carbonation, or both.

Calcium reacts in the lime kiln with the clay minerals to produce silicates that enable some of the lime to set through hydration. Any unreacted calcium is slaked to calcium hydroxide which sets through carbonation. These are sometimes called 'semi-hydraulic lime' and include the classifications feebly and moderately hydraulic lime, NHL 2 and NHL 3.5.

Types
There are two basic types of hydraulic limes:

Natural hydraulic lime (NHL)
Natural hydraulic lime (NHL) is produced by heating (calcining) limestone that naturally contains clay and other impurities: no materials may be added to create the hydraulicity. In the United States NHL may be called 'hydrated hydraulic lime' (HHL) per ASTM C-141 Standard Specification for Hydrated Hydraulic Lime for Structural Purposes.

Artificial hydraulic lime (AHL)
Artificial hydraulic lime (AHL) or artificial lime (AL) becomes hydraulic when hydraulic and/or pozzolan materials are added either before or after burning in a lime kiln. Artificial limes are more specifically identified as 'hydraulic lime' (HL), as defined European Norm 459 (EN-459), "Consists of lime and other materials such as Portland cement, blast furnace slag, fly ash, limestone filler and other suitable materials."; 'formulated lime' (FL) (EN-459) consists of "...mainly of hydrated lime and or NHL with added hydraulic and/or pozzolanic material. It is identical to HL but its composition must be declared on the CE marking.". 'Pozzolanic hydraulic lime' (PHL) (ASTM C-1707) is "very similar to HL or FL. Consists mainly of hydrated lime with one or more pozzolans with possible inclusion of inert filler. When Portland cement, even traces, is present (can be up to 20% of binder weight), it has to be labeled as 'PHLc'."

Characteristics
Hydraulic lime is a useful building material for the following reasons:

 * It has a low elastic modulus.
 * There is no need for expansion (movement) joints.
 * It allows buildings to "breathe", and does not trap moisture in the walls.
 * It has a lower firing temperature than Portland cement, and thus manufactured consuming less energy.
 * Stone and brickwork bonded with lime is easier to re-use.
 * Lime acts sacrificially in that it is weaker and breaks down more readily than the masonry, thus saving weaker stone such as sandstone and limestone from the harmful effects of temperature expansion and mortar freeze.
 * It is less dense than cement, thus less cold bridging.
 * Lime re-absorbs the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by its calcination (firing in a kiln), thus partially offsetting the large amount emitted during its manufacture. The more hydraulic a lime, the less CO2 is reabsorbed during set, for example, 50% of CO2 is reabsorbed by NHL 3.5 during the set, compared to 100% of CO2 being reabsorbed by pure calcium hydroxide (fat lime putty).

Hydraulic lime concrete
Hydraulic lime concretes have been in use since Roman times, either as mass foundation concretes or as lightweight concretes using tufa or pumice as aggregates and a wide range of pozzolans to achieve different strengths and speeds of set. This meant that lime could be used in a wide variety of applications including floors and even vaults or domes. An example is the Pantheon in Rome, which has survived for nearly two thousand years. The dome's diameter is equal to its height from the floor. It is constructed from six different lime mixes, which change the properties and lightness of the material.

Classification
Natural hydraulic lime (NHL) is classified for different uses the first two of which are sometimes called semi-hydraulic lime because they initially set with water but continue to set in contact with carbon dioxide in the air.

Feebly hydraulic lime
Feebly hydraulic lime (NHL 2) is used for internal work and external work in sheltered areas.

Feebly hydraulic lime contains up to 10% clay / clay mixed with other impurities. It might take one week or more to set after the addition of water. Setting is the process of permanently taking the shape into which lime has been moulded.

Moderately hydraulic lime
Moderately hydraulic lime (NHL 3.5) can be used for external work in most areas.

Moderately hydraulic lime contains clay in the range of 11% to 20%. This type of lime sets (assumes given shape) within a few days after the addition of water.

Eminently hydraulic lime
Eminently hydraulic lime (NHL 5) is used for external work in exposed areas, such as chimneys and for floor slabs/underpinning.

Eminently hydraulic lime contains clay in the range of 21% to 30%. Properties of eminently hydraulic lime are close to those of cement. Eminently hydraulic lime sets within one day after the addition of water.

Benefits

 * Hydraulic limes gain strength over time hence providing flexibility and avoiding the need for expansion joints.
 * Considered to be more environmentally friendly than portland cement as they are burnt at a lower temperature and uniquely re-absorb some of the carbon dioxide given off during burning as they cure/carbonate in/on the wall.
 * Enable building components to be reclaimed and reused as they are 'softer' than cement.
 * Set under water hence making them ideal for applications in contact with the sea, canals, rivers etc.

User talk:MacGyverMagic/Archive 8

Vaoverland
a couple of things: 1. Can you help me with how to block a vandal who is on a roll? Of course, it's an IP address, and I realize it will only be temporay. Several other users who are not admins (which i am) haver requested help. I have routinely chased and reverted vandals, but never blocked one.

2. I am still watching new articles written by others for non U.S. content. Unfortunately, my interests are almost 100% North American.

3. If you like the TALK box on my User Page, I can add one for you. That may help in getting your new messages placed with headings and at the bottom of your Talk page.

Thanks for any help, and all your good work with DYK, Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 20:43, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

Vandal on a roll
The vandal's IP is 66.57.105.182. Thanks, Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 21:01, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

Better Safe Than Sorry
Thank you again. At least I know how to do it now. I have advised to two users who were complaining. I am reminded of the frustration of young and confused Holden Caulfield in J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye who was discouraged by all the "F---You" graffiti he found and the hopelessness felt that although he worked fervently at eradicating it, undoubtedly even more was being "created" faster than he could get rid of it. Fortunately, WP seems blessed with the opposite ratio, or at least a balance. I also scan all changes to my 1400 watched pages for IP addresses, and I find a large proportion are vandalization entries. Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 21:10, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

Impostors
It's really very easy: troll RC and keep an eye open for newly created user pages, especially ones that are clones of an existing user's page. Also, for our convenience, I created template:impostor. – ClockworkSoul 22:02, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Image use on the MainPage
Could you please not put a copyrighted image on the main page the next time you change an image? From what I've been told it's not allowed. At the very least other images are preferred if available. Mgm|(talk) 21:54, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reminder, MacGyverMagic. Actually, I know that. That's why I took out Image:Miami skyline from Biscayne Bay.jpg, which at the time was untagged and copyright undetermined. I noticed that Julia Tuttle died in 1898 and assumed that the tag was a PD-50, or sth like that, without reading it carefully.  I guess I made it worse, eh ? Whoops....

Hi. You recently posted in the Caulfield Grammar FAC page that you would review the article and then have a vote. I would just like to encourage you to do this, as I'd like as many to vote as possible before the school deletionists get their way. Thanks. Harro5 09:31, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Advice on Mark Magnus
Earlier today you appropriately moved some content from the article to the talk page of Mark Magnus. An anon user, using three different IPs, keeps moving that content back into the article along with additional content that's not so great... some of it is silly. That particular content has been jumping in and out of the article for several days now. Logged in users keep removing (or reverting) it and the anon user(s) keep restoring it. I've encouraged the anon user to join in a discussion on the talk page but so far that's been ignored. Could use some advice/perspective on this. What's a good next step for dealing with an anon user who won't communicate/collaborate? Tobycat 06:15, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Administrator intervention against vandalism
The idea is nice, but the title is a bit wordy. Can you think of a shorter title? If, not a shorthand redirect might be handy. Mgm|(talk) 10:34, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but it's surprisingly hard to think of a name that both has vandalism in the title (because you know it's going to be filled with POV disputes otherwise) and is short and pithy. There are shorthands, the obvious WP:AIAV and the shorter WP:AIV. But if you can think of a decent title, more power to you; feel free to be bold and move the page. --W(t) 12:14, 2005 May 28 (UTC)

copyvio stuff on jimbo's talk page
I dunno, it seems to me that I wouldn't get much different responses on the help desk than I get at, for example, the copyright problems page, where at least one knowlegable user didn't have a clue about the Iranian site copyvio question (not that I blame him, but someone, somewhere must have a clue). I would assume Jimbo would have a better handle on the legal issues or would know where to find info. I realize he's busy, and may not choose to take the time to respond, but what the hell?

Moon of Endor block
Hey, sorry about the confusion there: I blocked them, then discovered you'd already done so, so I cleared my block so as to keep the block list length down (that is an issue, not sure if you knew that), discovered that had cleared your block, went to put the block back on, did it for 24 only by mistake, finally got it sorted! Noel (talk) 14:50, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

PPS: You really ought to archive your talk page; with long pages, ever time it's edited, we used a big chunk of disk space.

 * Yeah, MoE was blocked when the dust settled. The problem with checking the block log before is that there's a timing window failure mode. I.e. if the following sequence happens: i) A checks the log, ii) B checks the log, sees nothing, iii) A puts on a block, iv) B puts on a block, then you get a double block. That's why I always check after I put the block on, and that's when I noticed you'd beaten me to it by a few seconds. Ideally the MediaWiki software would notice the double block, and say something - if I get time I'll file a bug report. Noel (talk) 01:24, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Find or fix a stub
The article's contents are not different from those of Stub, they are merely not as clear or simply not as helpful. We have been getting some very good results out of this new page. The amount of uncategorized stubs is reducing greatly and new users are overall learning the process in a much better way. Information is not being lost. It is merely being given in a better, more instructive way. If you find there is something amiss, I encourage you to add it to Stub. I am now reverting the article to the revert state. Cheers. --Sn0wflake 16:19, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Re: User:Who is it?
Mine wouldn't display the diff either. This is a somewhat insidious type of vandalism, and it was the first time I've used the rollback button without really being sure that the edit was vandalism. I've been meaning to write something about this on WP:AN/I. Anyway, what he did was copy-and-paste a very large number of the contents of the page (your browser might display the diff of my reversion, since the duplicated text is only in the changes part and not also in the article part). I don't know how familiar you are with this type of vandalism—User:Beagle2 and User:Praetor worked the same way, although User:Who is it? stopped when I asked him to. If you want me to explain more I'd be happy to. [By the way, that was me poking fun at myself on my user page—but I appreciate the vigilance and if it's ever questionable again in the future, feel free to revert: I can always fix it later!] — Knowledge Seeker দ 18:05, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism by 131.111.8.101
Hi I've been doing some detective work based on a few isolated incidents of vandalism I've seen, and I discovered a vandal who uses User:131.111.8.101 who may have been vandalizing User:Chanting_Fox. I'm not sure how to go about this, but I noticed you commented on this user's behaviour a few times. I also x-posted this to User_Talk:Chanting_Fox.

 * They vandalized the Benedict_XIV page to this. Note the images.  They were uploaded by User:Dmj27.

 * Also note Contributions of User:Darth_Vader. According to his contributions, he modified the Palpatine page to appear like Pope Benedict. (exact opposite of the above)

 * Observe the Votes_for_deletion/James_Cole and Votes_for_deletion/David_Jordan. They've been edited by a Cambridge IP.  Note the references to User:Dmj27, User:Darth_Vader and User:spankthecrumpet.  Also note the obession with "Remis" (whatever that means)

 * Note this.. the impersonator User:Chantin'_Fox added a link to the David Jordan page. He also edited the Darth_Vader page to redirect to him.

My suspicion is that all of these people are sockpuppets of User:Chantin'_Fox who is operating from User:131.111.8.101.

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome. I am presently working on the parameter syntax for the Cleanup user template. Once I've figured that out, my next task is to try the signature with timestamp option. Until I get that done successfully, my sign-off will have to be plain vanilla. I certainly hope this message shows up at the bottom of your page.

Wayne Mills (British Army soldier)

Wayne Kevin Mills CGC is a former British Army soldier. He was the first gazetted recipient of the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross for his actions during active operations in Bosnia in 1994.

While serving with the 1st Battalion The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding) on United Nations service in Bosnia on 29 April 1994, a patrol led by Corporal Mills came under heavy small-arms fire from a group of Bosnian Serbs. The patrol returned fire, killing two of the attackers. The patrol moved away back towards their base and soon reached an open clearing, where it was obvious they would be highly vulnerable to fire from the attackers. Mills then performed his feat of bravery. Turning around, back into the wood, he engaged the attacking group, delaying them long enough to allow the rest of his patrol to cross the clearing. Mills shot the leader of the group, causing the rest to scatter. He returned to his patrol safely.

Socialist economics
Please note your repeated, unexplained reversions are blatant violation of WP:NPOV, and can only amount to disgraceful POV-pushing. Insertion of criticisms is an important part of the lead, as exemplified by the articles Monetarism and Wal-Mart.Teeninvestor (talk) 23:52, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Users like this Teeninvestor and Introman are really unbelievable in their incorrigible obtuseness. Apparently you have a POV issue if you delete the criticisms of Socialist Economics that appear in the lead, but getting an acknowledgment that a debate exists about the definition of capitalism in the lead is instantly deleted. Really, get some objectivity and save the “disgraceful” criticisms for yourselves. The mono-perspective these users represent is destroying Wikipedia. BernardL, let me know if you need any help dealing with these boys. I’ve got a graduate level economics library at hand and have access to any academic journal you can find using “google scholar”.  You seem to have a worldly view and I'm an American but I’ve studied in Europe and realize there is more to economic theory than the neo-con perspective.MoralMoney (talk) 22:57, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment. I do agree with you that obtuseness is perhaps best single word to describe the behaviour of the likes of Teeninvestor and Introman. Their type seems to think being knowledgable about an economic subject merely requires reading the literature of the libertarian creed. The gospel of Hayek, Friedman, Mises et al is presumed to be infallible in every respect. Although they dress themselves up in scientific pretensions there is no real scientific approach or curiousity among these acolytes; there is no attempt to compare, no attempt to make a serious reading of opposing views without having one's preconceptions dominate the ability to understand and there is no attempt "to hold theories and principles in solution, awaiting confirmation" which John Dewey identified as essential to a scientific attitude. The libertarian cult of America has in fact already destroyed the objectivity of wikipedia quite some time ago. I may take you up on your offer for scholarly assistance at some point. cheers.

 * Thanks for the encouragement. Doing some more work on the article is certainly on my agenda. I just have a few other tasks to get over with first. I too think we could use a kind of Braudel/Wallerstein/ Arrighi/ Frank section of historical sociology, perhaps with the role of world trade networks and the division of labour in a global context getting some emphasis. There are many fascinating issues raised in their work. I also would not mind having a go at improving the section on industrialization and also to suggest some refinements to the marxism section. I am not very good at working alone so I am hoping to work some good things out with you and the other knowledgeable editors. cheers. BernardL (talk) 17:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (album)

Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (the first release of this album lists it as Smothers Comedy Brothers Hour on the label, similar to the show's logo on the front cover) is a 1968 comedy album released on Mercury Records by the Smothers Brothers consisting of bits from their CBS television series, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. As a result, much of the album consists of political humor, which was absent from their previous recording efforts but remained true to their television show's content. It reached number 164 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.

Track listing

 * 1) "Morons" (0:58) - Tom explains his theory that power in government exists in relationship to the amount of clothing you wear.
 * 2) "Troubador Song" (7:54) - Dick tries to sing a madrigal but Tom keeps making "cheep cheep" bird sounds.
 * 3) "Smart Juice" (0:57) - Tom gives Dick a taste of his Smart Juice.
 * 4) "President Johnson" (0:47) - Tom offers President Johnson political advice.
 * 5) "You Didn't Come In" (3:42) - Once again Dick tries to sing "I Talk to the Trees" from the musical Paint Your Wagon; this was the third time the brothers recorded this routine, with earlier versions on Curb Your Tongue, Knave and Golden Hits of the Smothers Brothers, Vol. 2. However, this time it is Dick who stops because Tom always interrupts and ruins the song; but this time he did not—revealing that Dick never learned the whole song.
 * 6) "Tommy's Song" (1:32) - When all is said and done, Tom should have been a nun.
 * 7) "Tom's Party" (0:58) - Tom invites everybody to a party (at Dick's house).
 * 8) "Caught in the Draft" (1:00) - More political commentary from Tom.
 * 9) "The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" (7:52) - In trying to put the lesson from the hit song from the musical "Man of La Mancha" into his own words, Tom tells the story of lovely, courageous Joan of Arc who built an ark to save all of the animals from the Great Flood.
 * 10) "Spread of Democracy" (1:50)
 * 11) "United Nations" (1:15)
 * 12) "Controversial Material" (6:12) - Tom chastises Dick for the political incorrectness of old songs such as "(Potatoes Are Cheaper--Tomatoes Are Cheaper) Now's The Time to Fall in Love", "Chicago (That Toddling Town)", and "McNamara's Band."

Personnel

 * Dick Smothers – vocals, double bass
 * Tom Smothers – vocals, guitar

Roy Atwell

John Leroy "Roy" Atwell (May 2, 1878 – February 6, 1962) was an American actor, comedian and composer, known for playing characters that mis-deliver their lines or stammer, most notably Doc from Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Early life
Roy Atwell, son of Joseph Addison Atwell, was born in 1878. He was educated at the Sargent School of Acting.

Atwell was a direct descendant of Joseph Atwell (1754–1834), a Revolutionary War soldier who in 1792 purchased land in the military tract in New York and built a house ("Atwell's Corners") in what is today Pompey Hollow, south of Syracuse, near Cazenovia.

Acting
Atwell appeared in 34 films between 1914 and 1947.

As well as his film work, he appeared in several Broadway productions, including The Little Missus, The Mimic World, Oh, My Dear!, The Firefly, Apple Blossoms, and How's Your Health? He was a member of the Fortune Gallo's San Carlo Opera Company.

When Atwell began working on Broadway, he had a role, as a serious actor, in which he was to deliver the following line: "It is spring and all the little birds are twittering in the tree tops." Being new and somewhat on edge, what Atwell actually did say was: "Tis ting and the twits are birdering in the tree flops." Atwell fully expected to be dismissed, but the misdelivered line drew a big laugh from the audience and, after the show was over, he was congratulated and asked to repeat it the next night. His unwitting comedic success caused Atwell to make the change from being a dramatic actor to becoming a comedian.

Composition
Atwell joined ASCAP in 1957.

He composed the popular song Some Little Bug is Going to Find You and wrote the words to a song called "When a Piece of Toast Climbs Your Bedpost with a Cigar."

Personal life
He was married three times, to Blanche West (1907-?), Dorothy Young (1913–1916), and Ethel Smith (1916–1936).

Filmography

 * 1922: Don't Get Personal as Horace Kane
 * 1922: Red Hot Romance as Jim Conwell
 * 1922: Grand Larceny as Harkness Boyd
 * 1922: The Heart Specialist as Winston Gates

François Le Lionnais

François Le Lionnais (3 October 1901 – 13 March 1984) was a French chemical engineer and writer. He was a co-founder of the literary movement Oulipo.

Biography
Le Lionnais was born in Paris on 3 October 1901. Trained as a chemical engineer, he directed the Forges d'Aquiny industrial firm during the years 1928–1929. Active in the French resistance group Front National during World War II, he was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo in October 1944 and spent six months (November 1944 – April 1945) as a prisoner in the Dora concentration camp. His 1946 essay “La Peinture à Dora” (“Painting in Dora”) describes his experience as a prisoner.

After World War II, Le Lionnais became the director of General Studies at the École Supérieure de Guerre (now part of the École Militaire). In 1950, he became the founding head of the Division of Science Education at UNESCO.

Together with the French physicist Louis de Broglie and his close friend Jacques Bergier, Le Lionnais co-founded the Association of French Science Writers on 26 June 1950. Le Lionnais served as the first president of the association, which was initially funded by UNESCO.

In 1952, again working with Jacques Bergier, Le Lionnais created UNESCO’s Kalinga-UNESCO Prize for excellence in the popularization of science. The first recipient was Louis de Broglie. In the following decade, Le Lionnais joined an advisory committee on scientific terminology to the French Academy of Sciences, acted as a scientific consultant to the Commission for Restoration of Works of Art in French national museums, and served as a technical expert to India's council on scientific research. He produced and hosted a popular-science program, “La Science en Marche,” for the France Culture radio station.

Le Lionnais was active in experimental and absurdist artistic movements, as Regent of the Collège de ‘Pataphysique and as co-founder and first president of Oulipo. Oulipo was founded in 1960 with Raymond Queneau and later augmented, by Le Lionnais and others, with a series of analogous organizations including Oulipopo (detective fiction), Oumupo (music), Oupeinpo (painting), Oucinépo (film), and Oucuipo (cooking). He was also closely associated with the early dadaists Picabia, Tzara and Duchamp. Between 1930 and 1932 he regularly played Marcel Duchamp at chess.

Le Lionnais wrote numerous books as well as essays and magazine columns. Their subjects include science, mathematics and its history, experimental literature, painting, and chess.

Le Lionnais died in 1984 in Boulogne-Billancourt.

John Still

John Still (c. 1543 – 26 February 1607/1608) was Master of two Cambridge colleges and then, from 1593, Bishop of Bath and Wells. He enjoyed considerable fame as an English preacher and disputant. He was formerly reputed to be the author of an early English comedy drama, Gammer Gurton's Needle.

Career
Still was born 1543 in Grantham, Lincolnshire. After finishing school at The King's School, Grantham, he became a student at Christ's College, Cambridge, where he gained a BA in 1562, a MA in 1565, and a DD doctorate in 1575. In 1561 he became a fellow of his college and took holy orders.

Still was appointed in 1570 to be Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity, and later held livings in Suffolk, where he was Archdeacon of Sudbury from 1576 to 1593, and in Yorkshire. He was then Master successively of St John's College (1574) and of Trinity College (1577). Still was Vice-Chancellor of his university in 1575/1576 and again in 1592/1593. He was raised to the bishopric of Bath and Wells in 1593. In 1604 he bought the manor of Hutton, Somerset, east of Wells and to the west of the Mendip Hills, with its residence, Hutton Court.

John Still died on 26 February 1608, leaving a large fortune from lead mines discovered in the Mendips. There is a fine monument to him in the north transept of Wells Cathedral, erected by his son Nathaniel.

Family

John Still was married twice:
 * First to Anne Alabaster or Arblaster (died 1592), daughter of Thomas Alabaster, a cloth merchant of Hadleigh, Suffolk. A monumental brass in her memory remains in Hadleigh Church. Her brother John Alabaster was twice mayor of Hadleigh. They had the following children:
 * John (died young 1577–1581), buried at Hadleigh
 * Nathaniel (1579–1626), baptised at Hadleigh in 1579, died 1626 at Hutton, Somerset. Nathaniel married Jane Whitmore (died 1639, buried at Bath Abbey), a daughter of William Whitmore (died 1593), a haberdasher of Balmes Manor, Hackney and of Apley Hall, Shropshire. Jane's nephew was Sir Thomas Whitmore, 1st Baronet (1612–1653). They had a son who died young, and five daughters and co-heiresses: (1) Anne, born 1613, married to John Codrington of Codrington and Didmarton, Glos., to whose family passed the manor of Hutton, (2) Jane (born 1614) married Sir James Pyle of Compton Beauchamp, Berks, (3) Elizabeth (born 1618), living in 1639, (4) a fourth daughter unnamed; (5) Mary (born c. 1620) married to John Dennis (died 1660) of Pucklechurch, Glos., Sheriff of Gloucestershire and son of Henry Dennis (died 1638), who had married as his second wife Nathaniel's widow Jane. There is an incised stone mural tablet in a baroque surround in Hutton Church showing Nathaniel and his wife and children kneeling in prayer.
 * Secondly after 1592, to Jane Horner, daughter of Sir John Horner of Mells Manor, High Sheriff of Somerset, who had the following children:
 * John Still, buried in St James's, Shaftesbury, who married Margaret Grubham Howe, daughter of Sir George Howe, of Berwick St Leonard, Wilts, and sister of Sir George Grobham Howe, 1st Baronet (died 1676), MP for Hindon and of Berwick St Leonard, Wilts.
 * Thomas Still (died 1631) of Somerton, Somerset, buried at St James's, Shaftesbury, who married Bridget, daughter of Gawen Champernoune Esq. of Dartington, Devon, by Lady Gabrielle Roberta Montgomery, daughter of Gabriel, comte de Montgomery (died 1574), a French Huguenot.

Monument
Wells Cathedral has a large canopied tomb with a recumbent effigy of the Bishop, situated against the east wall of the chapel between the north aisle and the Chapter House. It was repainted in the 19th century. It bears a Latin inscription: Memoriae sacrum Joanni Still Episcopo Bathoniensi et Wellensi, Sacras Theologia Doctori Acerrimo Christianae Veritatis propugnatori non minus vitas integritate quam veria doctrina claro qui cum Domino diu vigilasset in Christo spe certa resurgendi obdormivit die XXVI Februarii mdcvii Vixit annos LXIIII sedit episcopus XVI Nathaniel Still filius primogenitus optimo patri maerens pietatis ergo posuit ("Sacred to the memory of John Still, Bishop of Bath and Wells, Doctor of Theology, keenest warrior for Christian Virtue famed no less in integrity of life than for True Doctrine, who, when he had long kept vigil with the Lord, went to sleep in Christ on the 26th day of February 1607 in the certain hope of rising again. He lived for 64 years, sat as Bishop for 16. Nathaniel Still first-born son mourning the best father thus placed it of piety")

Above it are three escutcheons, left to right: Azure, a saltire per saltire and per cross counter changed argent and or (See of Wells); the same, impaling Still; Still, alone.

Monument to son
There exists also a stone memorial to Nathaniel Still (died 1626), son of Bishop Still. Nathaniel kneels at prayer to the left, in front of his own son, who predeceased him. Kneeling opposite is his wife, Jane Whitmore, in front of their daughters. Below is a text alluding to the Bishop, who "first raised the name" (of Still): "In memory of Nathanill Still of this parrish Esq., who dyed the second day of February Anno Domini 1626. Not that he needeth monuments of stone for his well-gotten fame to rest uppon but this was reard to testifie that hee lives in theire loves ye yet surviving for unto vertu who first raised his name hee left the preservation of the same and to posterity remaine it shall when brass and marble monuments shall fall"

Authorship of Gammer Gurton's Needle
Gammer Gurton's Needle is the second earliest extant English comedy, properly so called. Still, whose reputation as a serious churchman cannot easily be reconciled with the buffoonery in A Ryght Pithy, Pleasaunt and merie Comedie: Intytuled Gammer Gurtons Nedle, was first credited with its authorship by Isaac Reed in his 1782 edition of Biographia dramatica. The title-page of the piece, which was printed by Thomas Colwell in 1575, states that it was played not long before at Christ's College, Cambridge, and was "made by Mr S. Mr of Art." A play was acted at Christmas 1567, and Still was identified as being the only MA on the register at that time whose name began with S.

There are reasons to suppose, however, that the play had been in Colwell's hands some time before it was printed, and it may well be identical with the Dyccon of Bedlam for which he took out a licence in 1562–1563, "Diccon the Bedlem" being first in the dramatis personae of Gammer Gurton. The accounts of Christ's College for 1559–1560 include the entry, "Spent at Mr Stevenson's plaie, 5s."

William Stevenson was born at Hunwick, Durham, matriculated in 1546, took his MA degree in 1553, and became BD in 1560. He was a fellow of Christ's College in 1559–1561 and can perhaps to be identified with a William Stevenson who was a fellow in 1551–1554. If so, there is reason to believe that the composition of Gammer Gurton's Needle should be ascribed to the earlier period. Stevenson was made prebendary of Durham in 1560–1561 and died in 1575.

Contemporary Puritan writers in the Marprelate tracts allude to Dr John Bridges, Dean of Salisbury, author of A Defence of the Government of the Church of England, as the reputed author of Gammer Gurton's Needle, but he obviously could not be properly described as "Mr. S". Dr Bridges took his MA degree at Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1560. The wit and periodic coarseness of his acknowledged work makes it reasonable to suppose he may have been a coadjutor of the author.

In the light of the authorship discussion, Gammer Gurton's Needle is thought to date from about 1553. Though less overt in its use of Latin comedic conventions than its contemporary Ralph Roister Doister, several scholars have noted the play's parodic treatment of Terentian comedy. The plot centres on the loss of a needle belonging to Gammer Gurton. This is eventually found when her servant, Hodge, is slapped on the buttocks by the trickster Diccon and discovers it in the seat of his breeches.
