Matthew 4:10

Matthew 4:10 is the tenth verse of the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. Jesus has rebuffed two earlier temptations by Satan. The devil has thus transported Jesus to the top of a great mountain and offered him control of the world to Jesus if he agrees to worship him. In this verse, Jesus rejects this temptation.

Content
In the Catholic Bible, the text states:

 * At this, Jesus said to him, “Get away, Satan! It is written:
 * ‘The Lord, your God, shall you worship,
 * and him alone shall you serve.’”

In the King James Version of the Bible, the text reads:
 * Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence,
 * Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the
 * Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

The English Standard Version translates the passage as:
 * Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan!
 * For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God
 * and him only shall you serve.’”

The Novum Testamentum Graece text is:
 * τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ὕπαγε, Σατανᾶ·
 * γέγραπται γάρ Κύριον τὸν θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις
 * καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις.

For a collection of other versions see BibleHub Matthew 4:10

Analysis
In contrast with Matthew 4:1 where "the devil" is named, here Jesus refers to the devil as Satan (cf. Matthew 12:26; 16:23), which is the same as Beelzebul (Matthew 10:25; 12:24, 27). Throughout Matthew, the devil and his evil underlings are always overpowered (cf. Matthew 4:23; 8:16, 28; 9:32; 12:22; 15:22; 17:18; 23:39). Jesus again quotes scripture in response to the temptation, this time the quote is from the passage on the Israelites rejection of idolatry in. The Spirit-led behavior that Jesus demonstrates here is significant: to know God's command and its context means to obey, with no added reasoning to God's simple commands (cf. Psalm 119:11). The verse uses the word "worship" (not the word "fear" as in the Septuagint), to better tie in with the temptation, and adds only at the end for added emphasis.

Commentary from the Church Fathers
Pseudo-Chrysostom: With these words, He puts an end to the temptations of the Devil, that they should proceed no further.

Jerome: The Devil and Peter are not, as many suppose, condemned to the same sentence. To Peter it is said, Get thee behind me, Satan; i. e. follow thou behind Me who art contrary to My will. But here it is, Go, Satan, and is not added ‘behind Me,’ that we may understand into the fire prepared for thee and thy angels.

Saint Remigius: Other copies read, Get thee behind me; i. e. remember thee in what glory thou wast created, and into what misery thou hast fell.

Pseudo-Chrysostom: Observe how Christ when Himself suffered wrong at the hands of the Devil, being tempted of him, saying, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, yet was not moved to chide the Devil. But now when the Devil usurps the honor of God, he is wroth, and drives him away, saying, Go thy way, Satan; that we may learn by His example to bear injuries to ourselves with magnanimity, but wrongs to God, to endure not so much as to hear; for to be patient under our wrongs is praiseworthy, to dissemble when God is wronged is impiety.

Jerome: When the Devil says to the Saviour, If thou wilt fall and worship me, he is answered by the contrary declaration, that it more becomes him to worship Jesus as his Lord and God.

Augustine: (cont. Serm. Arian. 29.) The one Lord our God is the Holy Trinity, to which alone we justly owe the service of piety.

Augustine: (De Civ. Dei, x. 1.) By service is to be understood the honor due to God; as our version renders the Greek word ‘latria,’ wherever it occurs in Scripture, by ‘service’ (servitus), but that service which is due to men (as where the Apostle bids slaves are subject to their masters) is in Greek called ‘dulia;’ while ‘latria,’ always, or so often that we say always, is used of that worship which belongs to God.

İstanbulspor

İstanbulspor Kulübü is a Turkish football and sports club founded by Istanbul High School students in 1926. In 2004–05, they were relegated from the Turkish Süper Lig (Super League) to the TFF First League. For many decades, it was the fourth most famous and well-developed professional football club in Istanbul, coming after Beşiktaş, Galatasaray, and Fenerbahçe. After being bought by the Uzan family in 1990, it has been repossessed by the government and resold to third parties.

Their greatest success is the Turkish championship title won in 1932.

History
İstanbulspor was founded by Kemal Halim Gürgen, also known by his native Albanian name of Qemal Omari   and Istanbul Boys High School students. It was founded on 4 January 1926, being one of the first sports clubs of the Turkish Republican period. In the 1931–32 season, İstanbulspor won both the Istanbul League and Turkish Football Championship.

Until 1990, the club was managed by the Istanbul High School foundation. During this period, İstanbulspor has been relegated from and promoted to the top division several times. Also, it relegated to the amateur level in 1979 and played at the amateur level for two seasons. In 1984, club was relegated to third league. In 1990, Uzan Holding, led by Turkish businessman Cem Uzan, bought the club and converted it into İstanbulspor A.Ş., İstanbulspor incorporation. After that, Istanbulspor was funded by Uzan family and promoted back to first league in 1995. Istanbulspor became one of the most successful Turkish football clubs again, as they reached fourth place in the 1997–98 season and played in the UEFA Cup. Uzan family withdrew its support from İstanbulspor in 2001. Because of this, İstanbulspor fell into financial crisis and came ninth in the 2002–03 season.

Eventually, in 2003, the Turkish government took over the financially collapsed club. However, Istanbulspor were relegated to the second league in 2004–05. In 2006, İstanbulspor were resold by the government to former Turkish player Saffet Sancaklı's ''Marmara Spor Faaliyetleri San. ve Tic. A.Ş.'' for $3,250,000. In 2007, Ömer Sarıalioğlu, a Turkish businessman, bought the club from Saffet Sancaklı. İstanbulspor tried to avoid relegation at the last two seasons. İstanbulspor escaped from relegation in the 2008–09 season after finishing sixth in the Third Group. However, İstanbulspor finished the second group of the 2nd League next season as second from last and were finally relegated to the Third League, which is the fourth level of the Turkish football system. They played in the promotion play-offs in the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons but failed to achieve success. İstanbulspor finally promoted to the Second League after defeating Zonguldak Kömürspor and Çorum Belediyespor successively in promotion play-offs in the 2014–15 season.

Colours and crest
The colours of İstanbulspor are yellow and black, which are the colours of Istanbul High School. Also, white is accepted as a third colour, but this is not official. Having represented Turkey in an international competition, İstanbulspor was granted the privilege to use the Turkish flag in its emblem, located on the top left corner. The emblem of Istanbul High School is in the middle.

Helium (band)

Helium was an American alternative rock band fronted by Mary Timony. The band formed during the summer of 1992. Between 1992 and 1997, they released two full-length albums, three EPs and several singles.

History
Under the original moniker of "Chupa", the band's founding members were vocalist/guitarist Mary Lou Lord, guitarist Jason Hatfield (Juliana Hatfield's brother), drummer Shawn King Devlin, and bassist Brian Dunton. Devlin and Dunton were both also in the band Dumptruck before founding Chupa. Mary Timony, formerly of the band Autoclave, replaced Lord on vocals and guitar shortly after formation, as Lord was reluctant to use electric instrumentation. Following Lord's departure, Chupa released a self-titled cassette and they self-distributed it in 1991. After Hatfield departed from the band, their name was changed to "Helium" and his position was not replaced; thus, the lineup of Devlin, Dunton, and Timony remained as a trio.

Timony was known for her husky, vibrato-less and monotone singing style. The band's record label, Matador Records, likened Timony's vocals to Kim Wilde and Debbie Harry.

Releases
Their first release was a 7" single entitled "The American Jean" (1993), which was followed by the 7" "Hole in the Ground". They released their first EP, Pirate Prude, in 1994. Shortly after the release of Pirate Prude, Dunton left the band and Polvo guitarist Ash Bowie, boyfriend of Timony at the time, joined on bass. In 1995, they released their first full-length release, The Dirt of Luck, and played the second stage of Lollapalooza. This was followed by the four song Superball EP. Adam Lasus produced and engineered The Dirt of Luck, Pirate Prude, and all of Helium's singles up to 1995.

In 1997, the group released the EP No Guitars before releasing their second album, The Magic City. This album featured synths and analog drum machine sounds, as opposed to their previous guitar-centered releases.

Commenting on the band's new direction, in an interview with the Boston Phoenix in 1997, Timony said: "It seemed natural for a girl my age to be expressing anger in music. For whatever psychological reason, I found it easier to express it in my songs than any other way. Writing out of anger is an easy framework, and that's one reason I don't do it now. I remember hearing Patti Smith say that she stopped playing music because she wasn't angry any more. I could totally relate, except that I want to keep playing. Lately I'm more into the idea that making music is fun. I want it to be a collaborative, creative thing, rather than using music as a tool."

The band toured the United States in early 1998 and disbanded shortly thereafter.

Film and television
The band makes an appearance in the cult 1994 road movie, Half-cocked. On television, two of the band's music videos, "Pat's Trick" and "XXX", were critiqued by Beavis and Butt-head.

Post-Helium
Timony began a solo career in 2000 and Bowie released an album of old four-track recordings under the name Libraness. Timony was later a member of the bands Wild Flag and Ex Hex.

Matador Records reissued the band's two albums in March 2017, along with a new collection of rarities titled Ends With And. Timony consequently played two "Mary Timony Plays Helium" tours in the U.S., backed by members of the band Hospitality, in 2017 and 2018.

Apache Tapestry

Apache Tapestry is an open-source component-oriented Java web application framework conceptually similar to JavaServer Faces and Apache Wicket. Tapestry was created by Howard Lewis Ship, and was adopted by the Apache Software Foundation as a top-level project in 2006.

Tapestry emphasizes simplicity, ease of use, and developer productivity. It adheres to the Convention over Configuration paradigm, eliminating almost all XML configuration. Tapestry uses a modular approach to web development by having a strong binding between each user interface component (object) on the web page and its corresponding Java class. This component-based architecture borrows many ideas from WebObjects.

Notable features

 * Live Class Reloading: Tapestry monitors the file system for changes to Java page classes, component classes, service implementation classes, HTML templates and component property files, and it hot-swaps the changes into the running application without requiring a restart. This provides a very short code-save-view feedback cycle that is claimed to greatly improve developer productivity.
 * Component-based : Pages may be constructed with small nestable components, each having a template and a component class. Custom components are purportedly trivial to construct.
 * Convention over configuration: Tapestry uses naming conventions and annotations, rather than XML, to configure the application.
 * Spare use of HTTPSession : By making minimal use of the HTTPSession, Tapestry is designed to be highly efficient in a clustered, session-replicated environment.
 * Post/Redirect/Get: Most form submissions follow the Post/Redirect/Get (PRG) pattern, which reduces multiple form submission accidents and makes URLs friendlier and more bookmarkable, along with enabling the browser Back and Refresh buttons to operate normally.
 * Inversion of Control (IoC): Tapestry is built on a lightweight Inversion of Control layer with similarities to Google Guice, but designed to make nearly all aspects of Tapestry's behavior configurable and replaceable.

Hello World Example
A minimal, templated Tapestry application needs only three files:

 * HelloWorld.tml
 * The (X)HTML template for the /helloworld page. Tapestry templates can contain any well-formed (X)HTML markup.

 * HelloWorld.java
 * The page class associated with the template. Here, it merely provides a *username* property that the template can access.

 * web.xml
 * The servlet application Deployment Descriptor, which installs Tapestry as a servlet filter.

Class transformation
Tapestry uses bytecode manipulation to transform page and component classes at runtime. This approach allows the page and component classes to be written as simple POJOs, with a few naming conventions and annotations potentially triggering substantial additional behavior at class load time. Tapestry versions 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 used the Javassist bytecode manipulation library. Subsequent versions replaced Javassist with a new bytecode manipulation layer called Plastic that is based on ObjectWeb ASM.

Client-side support
Tapestry 5 versions up through 5.3 bundled the Prototype and script.aculo.us JavaScript frameworks, along with a Tapestry-specific library, so as to support Ajax operations as first-class citizens. Third party modules are available to integrate jQuery instead of, or in addition to, Prototype/Scriptaculous.

Starting with version 5.4, Tapestry includes a new JavaScript layer that removes built-in components' reliance on Prototype, allowing jQuery or another JavaScript framework to be plugged in.

Version 5.4 also introduces support for JavaScript modules using the RequireJS module loading system.

Core principles
The Tapestry project documentation cites four "principles" that govern all development decisions for Tapestry, starting with version 5 in 2008:

 * Static Structure, Dynamic Behavior—page and component structure is essentially static, eliminating the need to construct (and store in session memory) large page and component trees.
 * Adaptive API—the framework is designed to adapt to the code, rather than having the code adapt to the framework
 * Differentiate Public vs. Internal APIs—all APIs are explicitly "internal" (private) except those that are necessarily public.
 * Ensure Backwards Compatibility—The Tapestry developers are reportedly committed to ensuring that upgrading to the latest version of Tapestry is always easy.

Criticism
Tapestry has been criticized as not being backward-compatible across major versions, especially noted in the transition from version 4 to version 5, where no clean migration path was available for existing applications. Project team members have acknowledged this as a major problem for Tapestry's users in the past, and backward compatibility was made a major design goal for Tapestry going forward. From early on in the development of version 5, backward compatibility was listed as one of Tapestry's four new "Core Principles", and two of the other three were intended to make the evolution of the framework possible without sacrificing backward compatibility. Project team members claim that all Tapestry releases since 5.0 have been highly backward compatible.

Early criticisms of Tapestry 5 also mentioned documentation as a shortcoming. Project members now claim that this deficiency has been largely addressed with a thoroughly revised and updated User's Guide and other documentation.

Since version 5.0, Tapestry has bundled the Prototype and Scriptaculous JavaScript libraries. According to Howard Lewis Ship, in the 2008-2009 timeframe these were reasonable choices. Since then, however, Prototype's popularity has declined, and jQuery's has risen dramatically. In response, the Tapestry community developed modules that allowed jQuery to be used in addition to, or instead of, Prototype. Meanwhile, the current version of Tapestry, 5.4, removes the dependency on Prototype entirely, replacing it with a compatibility layer into which either jQuery or Prototype (or potentially any other JavaScript framework) can be plugged.

Relation to other frameworks
According to Howard Lewis Ship, Tapestry was initially conceived as an attempt to implement in Java some of the general concepts and approaches found in WebObjects, which was at that time written in Objective-C and closed-source.

Apache Wicket was developed as a response to the complexity of early versions of Tapestry, according to Wicket originator Jonathan Locke.

Facelets, the default view technology in JavaServer Faces, was reportedly inspired by early versions of Tapestry, as an attempt to fill the need for "a framework like Tapestry, backed by JavaServer Faces as the industry standard".

Bantam (poultry)

A bantam is any small variety of fowl, usually of chicken or duck. Most large chicken breeds and several breeds of duck have a bantam counterpart, which is much smaller than the standard-sized fowl, but otherwise similar in most or all respects. A true bantam chicken is naturally small and has no large counterpart.

Etymology
The word bantam derives from the name of the seaport city of Bantam in western Java, Indonesia. European sailors restocking on live fowl for sea journeys found the small native breeds of chicken in Southeast Asia to be useful, and any such small poultry came to be known as a bantam.

My general philosophy is to be conservative in the use of admin powers. A few thoughts on the use of admin rights:

Blocking
Many people on Wikipedia seem too block-happy, calling for blocks for every garden-variety vandal who walks into the wiki.

Blocking is not a punitive measure. We don't block to punish users for transgressions against the wiki. If someone vandalizes a page, the first step, always, should be to warn them. The vast majority of nonsense added to pages is by newbies testing things out and bored schoolkids. Unless it's blatant, fast-moving vandalism (page-move vandals, mass insertion of disgusting images or hate speech), step through the test templates. All of them. (I recall reading another user saying that she did this, and rarely had to block anyone.)

What does it cost you? A few minutes of refreshing someone's contributions page to see if they're still at it. If they've stopped vandalizing before you have to block, great! The aim was to stop damage to the wiki, not to punish the "offender". If they've gotten a clue after test3—or simply gotten bored—then the effect is the same as if you'd blocked. Blocking someone who's already stopped vandalizing, as a punitive measure, creates animosity: "hey, I stopped 15 minutes ago after I was warned and now I'm getting blocked!"

Even if it is obvious vandalism, be polite. What kind of response does "quit vandalizing, you moron!" get? If it is just a particularly clueless newbie, they get the impression that wikipedia is a hostile environment, and they don't stick around to learn how to edit, nor do they ever come back. A bored schoolkid will take this as a challenge: "ha, I got a rise out of them, let's see if I can do it again!" And a vandal who knows the game won't take any heed of a warning, polite or otherwise, though someone who's looking for ammunition for a future tirade against "rogue admins" will gladly save the diff.

Relatedly, I will not block at anyone's request unless I would have made the block without prompting. If it's my name on the block log, I am responsible for that action, no matter who asked me to do it.

I do take requests for unblocking; I am liberal with this for anyone who requests sincerely and indicates that s/he understands what happened and will not repeat the behavior. In this case, the block has served its purpose and does not need to continue. Abuse my assumption of good faith, however, and I shall not be lenient toward you thereafter.

I will rarely block for 3RR violations, because I just don't want to be dragged into the mess of distinguishing between reverts, complex reverts, and different edits. In clear-cut cases it is easy to find someone to perform the block, and in more difficult ones it takes too much time for too little benefit, to me. The 3RR rule, while well-intentioned and effective in theory, is so prone to gaming and abuse that I will not under ordinary circumstances block under it.

As a personal guideline, I prefer to follow WP:1RR, as many others have.

Admin wars
Following the example of silsor, I will not perform the same admin action more than once. That is, I will not reblock a user I have blocked if someone else unblocks; I will not remove protection from a page someone else reprotects—even if I think it needs to be done. Admin wars do more harm than failing to do or undo an action; if there are others reverting me then my position is not so clear-cut that I should stubbornly redo it; if the person who undid my action stands by his/her action, and no one else wishes to undo it, then perhaps it's not that good an idea.

Rollback and reverting
The admin rollback tool should be used only for obvious vandalism and nonsensical test edits: *not* the removal of good-faith addition of content.

Manual reversion, whether by admins or regular users, should include an appropriate edit summary. "Rv vandalism" is not appropriate on a simple "newbie test"; if there is any doubt, a simple "rv" will suffice. Calling a well-meaning (if bad) edit vandalism is worse yet; it's enough of a blow to have your good-faith additions removed, but called vandalism, too? Be gentle, and explain your reverts when they are removals of content.

Conflict of interest
It's important to avoid even the appearance of using admin rights to sway disputes you are involved in. This includes:
 * protecting a page you have made non-trivial edits to or expressed a strong opinion on
 * deleting a page you have voted to delete
 * undeleting a page you have edited or voted to keep
 * blocking a user you personally dislike, have had disputes with in the past, or are currently edit-warring with
 * unblocking a user you are known to be personally friendly with

If your decision is sound, someone will back you up; nothing terrible will happen if it takes you five minutes to find reinforcement instead of 10 seconds to do it yourself. Preferably, the party you choose will be neutral and disinterested.

Dirty laundry
Why are people so inclined to rush to WP:AN/I at the first sign of trouble rather than trying to talk to the other user first? Why make problems public and request outside intervention until you have tried and failed to resolve it privately? Surely if you have a gripe with someone it's better to try to clear it up with only that person, unless s/he is unwilling to cooperate.

Nominees
I have nominated nine people for adminship so far:
 * Requests for adminship/Antandrus
 * Requests for adminship/Bratsche
 * Requests for adminship/JesseW
 * Requests for adminship/Kelly Martin
 * Requests for adminship/Kmccoy
 * Requests for adminship/RobertG
 * Requests for adminship/Tznkai 2
 * Requests for adminship/Wgfinley
 * Amgine Requests for adminship/Amgine

All passed except for the last—and the last, in my opinion, came out absolutely wrong.

Puelche people

The Gününa küna, or sometimes, Puelche (Mapudungun: pwelche, "people of the east") are indigenous peoples living east of the Andes Mountains in Chile and Southwest Argentina. They spoke the Puelche language. The name "Puelche" was not native, but was given to them by the Mapuche. They were annihilated by plagues and epidemics in the late 18th century, with survivors merging into other groups such as the Mapuche, Het, and Tehuelche. The Puelche are commemorated in the scientific names of two species of lizards, Liolaemus gununakuna and Liolaemus puelche, which are endemic to Argentina. Currently, there are efforts of revitalizing the language.

The Puelches like the Pehuenches were hunters, fishermen and gatherers. They used bows, arrows and after the arrival of the Mapuche, spears. They were tall and stout and dressed in fur quillangos (cloaks) and turbans of rolled threads with nets that covered their heads and on which they attached feather ornaments. Their dwellings were built with branches and hides. They cooked the food and heated the water in bark containers with hot stones. They made canoes with larch boards, cooked and caulked, easily disassembled to be carried on their shoulders through the Andean passes, which allowed them to interact with the Huilliches but above all with the Chonos of southern Chile, very close to them.

Precolonization Puelches
When the Spanish arrived, the Pehuenches and Puelches were hunter-gatherers. The populations were integrated around small bands that thrived off of hunting guanacos, rheas and Andean deer; as well as gathering fruits; the Puelches Algarroberos of the northern parts of Neuquén and the Andean area collected the fruit of the Araucaria, and those of Cuyo, foraged the fruit of the carob tree.

During hunting and war they showed their skill in handling bolts and arrows. They made their houses or tents with branches and skins and settled near rivers and estuaries. The bands were presided over by an elder who acted as Lonko or head of the family.

Puelches Algarroberos
The Puelches algarroberos (Puelches of the Algarroba), also called Puelches de Cuyo were a people related to the huarpean Pehuenches, living in Mendoza and the northern parts of Neuquén, to the south, their neighbors were the Pehuenches, and to the north by the Huarpes.

During the Campaign of the Desert, in 1833, a chief part of a Puelche Algarrobero subgroup, Vicente Goico, aided the forces of José Félix Aldao.

1833 Desert Campaign
A Rankülche chief, Yanquetruz, had fought the Argentines since their combat in Acollaradas, there he won against the forces of Ruiz Huidobro while he attempted to surprise him at his settlement in Leubucó, southern Córdoba, where he made them retreat to Córdoba, Juan Manuel de Rosas proclaimed; "Yanquetruz and his son Pichún will be persecuted, and their heads will be delivered to me".

Aldao, after hearing about the results of the battle, decided to ambush the chief, with help of Puelche chief, who Aldao had adopted as his godson, Vicente Goico.

After various military victories, Aldao had sent various chiefs fleeing south; one of them, Barbón, an elderly puelche chief subordinated to Yanquetruz; who was ordered to be killed by Aldao, then he was found, beheaded and spiked by Goico, his head being left in the coast of the Salado River, with the pretext of scorning Yanquetruz.

Goico died during a fight with the Pincheiras Brothers, near Mendoza.

Talk:Jolene Blalock

Untitled
Anyone know if she's named after the Dolly Parton song? It came out in 1974, Jolene was born in 1975. Coincidence?
 * No clue. According to IMDb, her last name is Scottish for "Black Lake", so if she has those roots it's possible Jolene has a more Celtic origin. 23skidoo 21:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Born as Joelene Blalock.

 * "Scottish"? Do you mean "Scots" as in Lowland Scots or are you referring to Scots Gaelic? I have never heard the term "Blalock" used in this way. Bear in mind it often tends to be the English who mispronounce "CH" in the word "loch" in the first place. I find it unlikely that a Scot would pronounce it in that way. If it was Gaelic, then would "black" not translate as "dubh" in any event?81.145.241.146 (talk) 23:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Lance Tyrell

Americans (and in 23skidoo's case, 51st state) seem to think that everyone's origin is "Celtic," nevermind the fact that "blalock" is clearly Germanic in origin. —ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ ( ᚷᛖᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳ ) 20:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Put a lid on the nationalistic hate, please. I see a lot of baseless opinion and prejudice and very little fact.  I am American, and I do not think that "everyone's origin is 'Celtic'", nor do I know anyone who fits that gross and baseless generalization.  "Blalock" is derived from the Old English "blaeclok", meaning "black haired".  The first usage in print places it in the Central Lowlands, from where it gradually migrated north into the Scottish Lowlands, undergoing many spelling transformations in the process.  Jolene Blalock's ancestors may well have been Scottish, but the name itself is originally Old English. 71.200.89.119 (talk) 18:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

New image
That's a terrible example of her modelling. Surely a better example from Ramp or FHM could be used. 23skidoo 13:09, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * No, not unless we have a critical discussion on Ramp or FHM in the article. --Yamla 14:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, we can use such images because the article does discuss her work as a model. At the very least, it is completely fair use to use the cover of a magazine article. The fair use rules say images like this can be used if they relate to the subject at hand, and Jolene Blalock is the subject at hand and it is mentioned that she is a model for men's magazines. Therefore it's fine. My only complaint is the image was awful. (BTW in the case of the image just deleted, there was insufficient licence source info, therefore it was likely to be speedied anyway.) 23skidoo 18:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree, that sounds like fair use to me. And I agree, the image was ugly.  :) --Yamla 18:37, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The reason why I mentioned Ramp is because her layout seems to be quite popular, and she doesn't look like she's training to be a nude opera singer... ;-) 23skidoo 22:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

The new image is better however there is insufficient licence/image source information for it. Unless this is improved (i.e. including URL where it was downloaded, name of photographer, etc.) I half-expect someone to speedy it within a few days. 23skidoo 13:13, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Lough Dubh
Ms. Blalock's name probably does not mean "black lake", as the Scots-Gaelic term for one would be Lough Dubh; however, in the Scots language, it may be so. And the Scots are'nt Celts. Great pictures by the way; she got any unmarried sisters, aunts, cousions? Fergananim 17:40, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

"and the Scots are'nt Celts". Erm... yes they are! The Scots, along with the Picts, Iceni, Brigantes, Bretons etc migrated from Southern Europe to Northern France and Britain. 82.18.227.37 12:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Scots were Celts, but Scots the language, is a Germanic language, very closely related to English (or an English dialect, depending on who's talking). And by the way, it's "aren't". Rojomoke 09:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Try reading that article again, this time without the blinders. Fergananim pretty clearly was talking about Scots Gaelic, which most certainly is a Celtic language.  The language you think you're referring to is Lowland Scots, which was the language of the Anglian invaders of Northumbria, which supplanted Gaelic in the east and south.  The bit you tacked on parenthetically at the end is Scottish English, which the article you linked clearly warns at the top of the page is not to be confused with Lowland Scots.  Yet you've somehow managed to confuse all three. 71.200.89.119 (talk) 18:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Enterprise criticism
I gave this article a close look and the bits about her being critical of Enterprise were added back when the show was still on the air and a going concern. As such they came off as quite dated and unnecessary to the article now; Blalock's comments regarding the show and the finale are well-covered in the applicable articles, and I think beyond a single acknowledgement that she was critical of the show, I don't think we need to go into such detail 18 months after the series ended. For example, Martin Landau was very critical of Space: 1999, but his biographical article doesn't go into this detail; the show article has this information (or at least, it did at one point). Also, the article seemed to be weighted a bit too heavily on Blalock the critic, giving the (unintentional) impression that all she did was complain about Enterprise, which she did not. 23skidoo 01:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Denise?
Does anyone know for certain if Jolene is "Denise" in the Fountains of Wayne music video of the same name? This video was made in 1999 or shortly thereafter and before she became well known from her role as T'Pol in StarTrek: Enterprise. There is no credit given in the video. I noticed the resemblance myself during the second season of Enterprise and there have been postings online stating that it was her but no source was cited to substantiate this. --Jbergquist 10:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The Diamond Hunters
Did she not also appear nude in "The Diamond Hunters?" --BenBurch (talk) 04:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Plastic Surgery?
Is it actually known what surgery she's had after being so critical of it in previous interviews? It seems obvious that she's at least had her lips done. Is it possible to find any info to add to the article on this? IRMacGuyver (talk) 08:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: Her role in "Legend of the Seeker"
Jolene is not "currently playing" Sister Nicci. She was the initial Sister Nicci. After Nicci was killed in 2x10, she's brought back in 2x13 and played by Emily Foxler.
 * Removes abusive anti-wiki commentary by 99.147.132.254. Conserves his marginally constructive point that Blaylock didn't always play a role. 2601:9:2B80:136:B80F:4D59:337C:9D3C (talk) 15:33, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Family
Doesn't she also have a daughter? Don't see that mentioned in the article here. --109.189.97.6 (talk) 05:11, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

"They have two children." - According to the Wiki article for Michael Rapino they have 3 sons. Also, on the side it shows her having 3 children, and they are with Michael Rapino.Easeltine (talk) 06:51, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Convention appearances
I am bit surprised to see the statement Blalock has not appeared on conventions concerning Star Trek when I've seen her live on stage with FedCon XIV. http://www.fedcon.de/de/information/history.html. Maybe a change would be in order? --M.Buelles (talk) 17:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I saw her at a convention soon after Enterprise was canceled in Pasadena, California. It was 2005 or 2006. I remember her saying she’s never been into conventions but that she really needed her fans at that moment to help her process the loss of the show. Long story short, it’s not accurate that she only did one convention. Udibi (talk) 07:23, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

I saw her at Star Trek Las Vegas 2008 here is a link to the schedule as well as a photo of her speaking, both links are from the website (Creation Entertainment) of the company which hosted the convention. I believe that I remember her saying that she was also at the 2007 Las Vegas Convention breifly, but left because she was ill. It may be better to say that she "does not appear at conventions...", since she has done a few in the past, but no longer participates in them. --Cmoore physics (talk) 18:05, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Number Of Children
Infobox says "3", but Personal life says "2". Article on her husband says "3 sons". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.242.214.5 (talk) 20:30, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Santa Who?

Santa Who? is a 2000 American made-for-television fantasy-comedy film starring Leslie Nielsen and directed by William Dear, in which Santa Claus develops a case of amnesia right before Christmas.

Plot
Santa feels unwell and goes out for fresh air whilst on a flight in his sleigh. Because of bad weather, he falls out and lands in Los Angeles and is unable to remember who he is. A TV news reporter called Peter, finds him and uses him to increase his ratings, asking his audience to find the family of, who he assumes to be, the lost old man.

Santa gets a job working in a mall and Peter's girlfriend's son, repeatedly tries to convince the adults that he is the real Santa Claus, which no one believes.

Santa still remembers certain details about Christmas but is unable to recollect how he knows them, as typically happens with source amnesia. Meanwhile, Santa's elves are looking for him, but a couple have seen him on TV and think it could be their missing grandfather and claim him. Santa begins to realise who he truly is though and Peter gains salvation when he acknowledges that Santa is genuine.

Reception
Christopher Null of Filmcritic.com gave Santa Who? 2 out of 5 stars. Perry Seibert of AllMovie gave the film 3 stars out of 5.

Laura Fries of Variety wrote "Santa Who?, an original Wonderful World of Disney film, does its best to imitate the great holiday classics, but in the end it's about as rewarding as a lump of coal in your stocking". Aliya Whiteley of Den of Geek gave it a mixed review.

Announced remake
In July 2021, Lionsgate, which holds rights to this film as the owner of the Hearst Entertainment library, told Deadline that it planned to remake it, alongside The Babysitter's Seduction, Sex, Lies, & Obsession, Blue Valley Songbird, Sex & Mrs. X, A Different Kind of Christmas, and other Hearst titles with MarVista Entertainment, which will work with Lionsgate in distributing these films. Neither studio released details about these remakes, which they plan to release to an undetermined streaming service.

I noticed that you reverted all my additions to wikipedia.
Pavel I noticed that you reverted all my changes to WikiPedia. First of all, you shouldn't second guess that I was linking to my own sites as "advertising or a mere collection of external links". I am not a webmaster, nor do I own any sites. I was linking to those sites because I felt that they were beneficial to WikiPedia not only for the different pictures of composers, but also for the audio files of composers. What joy does one get from reading a biography of a musical composer, if they cannot hear some actually MUSIC of a composer. The sites I linked to provide a service which WikiPedia main site does NOT offer. Therefore your claim "Please do not add links to pages which contain no new information compared to the article" is not legitimate, for I am added a link to a page which DOES in fact give new information, in the format of music. Please put back my additions, as I feel you are harming the WikiPedia community as a whole by disallowing useful information, which could be used to enrich WikiPedia.

 * Well, I took look on your pages again and still think their content is already present in Wikipedia. The links to sheetmusicplus.com do look as sufficient reason to me, IMHO.

Talk:Daly City, California

The bottom of the Daly City history section contains a sentance about a mysterious blimp landing. This sentence in and out of context has little bearing for an article about Daly City. I have removed it. Helldaemen Oct 17, 2009

Re: Pacific Plaza & Century, Pacific Plaza is an office dev with a cinema and restaurants none of which would qualify as shopping under the wiki definition.

Does anyone know after whom this city was named? A search for John Daly returns articles on several John Dalys, none of which make any reference to Daly City. Just curious.

Zoe reverted user:64.170.192.126's edit stating that Daly City is "way foggier" than San Francisco. Certainly the contribution was flawed, but may there not be any truth to the content? Any Daly City residents willing to compare their city with SF in terms of fog? There are surely weather stats that can corroborate or disprove this. --Dpr 05:53, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes, indeed! There is a long, definitive explanation of the history of Daly City stating that the city was named after one of its first inhabitants, John Daly: http://www.dalycityhistory.org/overview.htm Oh, and by the way. I am the one who wrote that Daly City is way foggier than San Francisco and here is how I know: I lived on Callan Blvd for 18 years and I've lived in San Francisco now for 4. And I would say that based on my limited evidence, Daly City is truly the fog city (maybe Pacfica).
 * I made a separate article (stub, for now) for John D. Daly. Seems like a notable historical character himself. Please feel free to help flesh it out. 「ѕʀʟ·✎」 23:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

As to fogginess in San Francisco, it depends on where you are. Weather in San Francisco tends to be somewhat variable depending on where you are. I've never seen fog in the Mission. Didn't see much in North Beach either. But the Marina District is a regular member of the fog belt, and the Presidio even more so. I imagine the same may apply to Daly City.--Coro 00:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

As a user who resides in Daly City, California, I must say this city is actually infamously afflicted with fog, such that some residents joke that the city is foggy due to too many Asians cooking rice. Calmsavior 03:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Sister Cities
Sister Cities International does not list any sister cities for Daly City. I made an edit earlier which turned out to be an unconsummated effort by Daly City's Sister City Committee to become a sister city to one in the Philippines. Unless references can substantiate the claims to Albuquerque and Quezon City these entries should be removed. Zedla (talk) 19:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Area inconsistency
The infobox says that the total city area is 20.48 km² and land area is 19.6 km². The article text claims that only the land area (19.6 km²) constitute the total. Anyone who could elaborate on this? /Dcastor (talk) 21:37, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Unsourced material
The following is unsourced information:

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source.

 * The song Little Boxes, written by Malvina Reynolds, is said to be inspired by the visual appearance of houses in Daly City. Many of the houses in Daly City were designed by Henry Doelger after World War II, resulting in the similar architecture of many houses there and in the surrounding areas. They feature flat roofs and predominantly right angles, giving them their famed box-like shape.

Serramonte in Daly City???
There are some major screw-ups within this article...first, the Cow Palace is actually in the City/County of San Francisco, NOT Daly City(most of the parking spaces on the south and east ends are actually within the Daly City borders)...and as for the City(Town) of Colma, there is something else besides those cemeteries:the Serramonte Auto Mall, where it's usually required by tradition for the broadcast media to repeatedly refer to the dealers(like Serramonte Ford and Infiniti of Serramonte) as being in "Colma-Daly City" and to say that phrase REALLY FAST!...please correct this ASAP...Michaela92399 (talk) 19:57, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Councilwoman fraud charges
I don't feel the fraud charges against the councilwoman at this point. Right now it's only been covered in the San Mateo County Times, with a couple of other outlets picking up the same story.

Photo of Mission Dolores -- Why???
I noted the photo of Mission Dolores (which is actually named Mission San Francisco de Asis -- Mission Dolores is a nickname) in the article on Daly City.

Mission Dolores is smack-dab in the middle of San Francisco and not even close to the Daly City limits.Toddabearsf (talk) 15:00, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer

Title.
Should Dancer be captilized? --Allareequal 18:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, "Dancer" should be capitalized because it is a noun in the title of a television program. (The same would be true for movies, books, plays, etc.) See Naming conventions (capitalization). --Metropolitan90 23:39, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

North American XA2J Super Savage

The North American Aviation XA2J "Super Savage" was a prototype carrier-based attack aircraft built in the early 1950s. It was developed by North American Aviation (NAA) from the smaller AJ Savage.

Design and development
The XA2J was intended to be a turboprop-powered derivative of the AJ Savage, with the design as initially proposed in December 1947 a simple modification of the Savage, with extensive use of components of the earlier aircraft. The design gradually evolved, however, to improve performance and increase compatibility with operations from aircraft carriers, as it was recognized that the AJ Savage was deficient in performance and was a less-than-satisfactory carrier aircraft.

The A2J was essentially an enlarged AJ Savage with the two reciprocating engines replaced with two Allison T40 turboprop engines and removal of the tail-mounted turbojet. Like the AJ, it was a high-winged monoplane with unswept wings. The wings were fitted with leading edge slats and large trailing edge flaps, and folded outside of the engine nacelles to ease storage aboard ship. It had a crew of three: pilot, co-pilot/bombardier, and gunner who sat in a pressurised cabin in the nose of the aircraft. Up to 10500 lb of bombs could be carried in a large enclosed bomb-bay in the center fuselage, while the planned defensive armament was a remotely controlled tail turret with two 20 mm cannon.

Construction of two prototypes started 1 October 1948, but due to delays developing the engines, the first flight was not until 4 January 1952. The competing Douglas XA3D, the prototypes of which were ordered the year after construction had begun on the XA2J prototypes, first flew in October 1952. The A3D had far superior performance, which doomed the XA2J.

The root cause for the failure of the XA2J was the protracted development and poor reliability of the Allison T40 engines. The T40 engine was an ambitious engine design with two power sections, (the T38 was developed from the T40 to assist in its development, by using a single power section with extension shaft and gearbox), driving two large contra-rotating propellers through a combining gearbox. Both the engines and the gearbox proved to be unreliable. The T40 engine was also used in the developmental of other aircraft. After a number of engine-related mishaps, the XA2J project was abandoned and the second prototype was never flown.

Claire Martin (writer)

Claire Martin, (18 April 1914 – 18 June 2014) was the pseudonym of the Canadian writer Claire Montreuil. She wrote mainly in French. Her novels often have themes of women's liberation and erotic relationships. Martin frequently revealed her devotions toward the "Frenchness" and Quebec nationalism as saying "I prefer to be of Quebec." or "I feel closer to love as a French-Canadian." In her works, Quebec and French-Canadian are portrayed as well-educated and living well. Martin focused her writing style on risks and illnesses of love, and wrote with prejudice and social conventions. Her works are characterized by purity and crafty use of language.

Early life and education
Martin (Claire Montreuil) was born in Quebec City, Quebec. She was educated at the Ursuline convent and by the Dames de la Congrégation. According to her interview with Winnipeg Free Press, it is said that her father gave negative influence on her childhood being against education for girls and expressing the hatred toward women.

Career
In 1945 Martin lived in Ottawa and became a writer in residence at the University of Ottawa. Her first novel, Avec ou sans amour, was published in 1958. Her next two novels, the psychological thriller Doux-amer in 1960 and Quand j'aurai payé ton visage in 1962 were praised for elegant use of language. The latter was translated into English and published as The Legacy.

In 1965 she published her two-volume autobiography, Dan un gant de fer.

In 1970 she published her final novel, Les Morts.

In 1972 Martin left the university, and lived in France until 1982, when she returned to Quebec.

In 2014 she celebrated her 100th birthday on 18 April and died on 18 June.

Honours
A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Martin was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1984 in recognition for being "one of the most important writers of her generation in Canada". She was promoted to Companion in 2001. She was made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec in 2007. She won the Prix du Cercle du livre de France in 1958 for her first book Avec ou sans amour. She won the Prix France-Québec and the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction (French) for her autobiographical books Dans un gant de fer (1965) and La joue droite (1966), respectively. Her final novel, Les Morts (1970), was adapted and shown at the Théâtre du Rideau Vert in 1972.
