Talk:Faschingsschwank aus Wien

Some of the writing here needs considerable work. The second movement in particular being noted as "the saddest" movement is almost cringe-worthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.48.64.192 (talk) 23:38, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

gah, tried to write this but it was lost. Explanation for rerouting this to F_aus_W rather than F_aus_W(opus39)etc etc is under Naming conventions which gives rules, guidelines, etc for how little but also how much to list in the title. Can't decide everything from conventions, but helpful. Schissel : bowl listen 02:50, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

In the Form section: (some musicologists have remarked that Schumann's metronome was calibrated such that it went faster than it should have, due to extreme tempi such as this one): I didn't change the article because I fear someone, meaning well, will revert it back to the original. Using a little logic and a pianist's grasp of the music and the metronome, the musicologists must mean that Schumann's metronome was possibly calibrated to run SLOWER than it should have. This would account for the possibly higher MM indications in his scores that are thought to be too fast. If a metronome is set at MM = 100, but is running SLOWER than 100, then you would move the weight to a faster setting in order to get something close to the desired count of 100. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.83.119 (talk) 23:33, 14 November 2013 (UTC) User: emdrgreg@gmail.com

Bryan Cave

Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP is an international law firm with 31 offices worldwide. Bryan Cave was headquartered in St Louis, Missouri. Berwin Leighton Paisner was headquartered in London.

In 2018, Bryan Cave and Berwin Leighton Paisner merged to create Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP. The firm is led by CEO Steve Baumer.

History
King, Phillips & Stewart was founded in 1873 in St. Louis, Mo. A merger resulted in Stewart, Bryan, Christie & Williams in 1911. After six years, P. Taylor Bryan's name became the first in the firm title, where it remains to this day. Rhodes Cave joined the firm in 1917, and it was then named Bryan, Williams & Cave.

In 1932, UK-based firm Paisner & Co, provided general legal advice, including conveyancing. Almost a decade later, the firm developed a reputation for corporate work. Its clients included Great Universal Stores, Forte Holdings, and Penguin Books. In 1939, the firm took over an American company called McDonnell Aircraft Company, now The Boeing Company. Leighton & Co in 1947 provided litigation and property advice to property developers in the West End of London. Berwin Leighton was formed from a merger of Leighton & Co and Berwin & Co. Their clients included Tesco, British Land, Ove Arup, and Lex. Bryan Cave became a strong regional law firm with 52 lawyers in St. Louis in 1973.

Growth and expansion
The firm opened its first office Washington, D.C. in 1978, and later in Los Angeles and New York. A decade later, they expanded to the west and southwest and opened offices in Phoenix and Kansas City.

After a period of two years, Berwin Leighton Paisner was formed. The firm has more than 900 staff, including 122 partners. The firm became a top 15 City practice in London with 122 partners, 430 fee earners, and a turnover of £88m. The merger enhanced the firm's profile as a leader in the U.K. property market. In the U.S., the Chicago office opens. Shortly after, Bryan Cave and New York-based Robinson Silverman Pearce Aronsohn & Berman merged, substantially enhancing the firm's presence in New York.

After a few years, Bryan Cave opened offices in San Francisco and Paris. In 2009, Berwin Leighton Paisner was joined by a team of 70 lawyers in Moscow under the leadership of Andrey Goltsblat to form a full-service, multi-award-winning office under the name Goltsblat BLP. Bryan Cave and Atlanta-based Powell Goldstein merge, creating new offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, and Dallas.

In 2005, Bryan Cave lost its Riyadh and Dubai offices to the Houston-based mega-firm Fulbright & Jaworski, but retained its office in Kuwait. The Kuwait office however soon closed as well.

In 2007, offices were opened in Hamburg and Milan, followed by San Francisco and Paris in 2008.

In 2009, Bryan Cave and Atlanta-based Powell Goldstein merged, creating an expanded firm with new offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, and Dallas.

At the beginning of 2012, Bryan Cave merged with Holme Roberts & Owen (HRO), a law firm based in Denver, Colorado with over 210 attorneys.

Bryan Cave also established an office in Frankfurt, Germany in 2012, to be integrated with the firm's already established Hamburg office.

In 2018, Bryan Cave merged with the London firm of Berwin Leighton Paisner.

In May 2023, Jeff Haidet, who previously was co-chair of Dentons US, joined Bryan Cave as a partner. The following month, a team of 15 lawyers specializing in intellectual property, moved from Dentons to Bryan Cave.

Write once read many

Write once read many (WORM) describes a data storage device in which information, once written, cannot be modified. This write protection affords the assurance that the data cannot be tampered with once it is written to the device, excluding the possibility of data loss from human error, computer bugs, or malware.

On ordinary (non-WORM) data storage devices, the number of times data can be modified is limited only by the lifespan of the device, as modification involves physical changes that may cause wear to the device. The "read many" aspect is unremarkable, as modern storage devices permit unlimited reading of data once written.

WORM protects the important files by keeping them safe and intact. It ensures the highest level of integrity and data security by eliminating the risk of important data from being deleted or modified. This way, the WORM helps to preserve the authenticity and safety of recorded data.

History
WORM drives preceded the invention of the CD-R, DVD-R and BD-R. An example was the IBM 3363. These drives typically used either a 5.1 in or a 12 in disc in a cartridge, with an ablative optical layer that could be written to only once, and were often used in places like libraries that needed to store large amounts of data. Interfaces to connect these to PCs also existed.

Punched cards and paper tape are obsolete WORM media. Although any unpunched area of the medium could be punched after the first write of the medium, doing so was virtually never useful. Read-only memory (ROM) is also a WORM medium. Such memory may contain the instructions to a computer to read the operating system from another storage device such as a hard disk. The non-technical end-user, however, cannot write the ROM even once but considers it part of the unchangeable computing platform.

WORM was utilized for Broker-dealer records within the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Current WORM drives

The CD-R, DVD-R and BD-R optical discs for computers are common WORM devices. On these discs, no region of the disc can be recorded a second time. Through packet writing, which uses the Universal Disk Format (UDF) file system, these discs often use a file system that permits additional files, and even revised versions of a file by the same name, to be recorded in a different region of the disc. To the user, the disc appears to allow additions and revisions until all the disk space is used.

The SD card and microSD card spec allows for multiple forms of write-protection. The most common form, only available when using a full-size SD card, provides a physical write protection switch which allows the user to advise the host card reader to disallow write access. This does not protect the data on the card if the card reader hardware is not built to respect the write protection switch.

Multiple vendors beginning in the early 2000s developed Magnetic WORM devices. These archival grade storage devices utilize a variation of RAID and magnetic storage technologies to secure data from unauthorized alteration or modification at both the hardware and software levels. As the cost of magnetic (and solid-state) storage has decreased, so has the cost for these archival storage technologies. These technologies are almost always integrated directly into a content/document management system that manages retention schedules and access controls, along with document level history.

There are multiple vendors providing Magnetic Storage technologies including NetApp, EMC Centera, KOM Networks, and others. In 2013, GreenTec-USA, Inc. developed WORM hard disk drives in capacities of 3 TB and greater. Prevention of rewrite is done at the physical disk level and cannot be modified or overridden by the attached computer.

Research
In recent years there has been a renewed interest in WORM based on organic components, such as PEDOT:PSS or other polymers such as PVK or PCz. Organic WORM devices, considered organic memory, could be used as memory elements for low-power RFID tags.

Athens College

Athens College (Κολλέγιο(ν) Αθηνών; formally Hellenic-American Educational Foundation (HAEF)) is a co-educational private preparatory school in Psychiko, Greece, a suburb of Athens, part of the Hellenic-American Educational Foundation (Ελληνοαμερικανικό Εκπαιδευτικό Ίδρυμα) which also includes Psychico College, although both schools are usually referred to as "Athens College". It was established in 1925. Among the school's founders and big donors had been Emmanuel Benakis, namesake of the Benaki Museum of Athens, as well as the school's main building, and Stephanos Deltas who the school’s athletic facilities were named by. Instruction is in both Greek and English, while also including french lessons 2 hours a week.

Overview
The 3,000 students are divided among Athens and Psychico College, each of which includes a Kindergarten, an Elementary School, a middle school, and an upper school. The upper school of Psychico College also offers students interested in studies abroad the International Baccalaureate programme. In addition the adult education program enrolls 2,000 students.

Athens College's library is one of the largest school libraries in Europe and was the first in Greece to have all its books electronically cataloged. The sporting facilities of Athens College include a gym, two football pitches (one gravel), seven outdoor basketball courts, four outdoor tennis courts, an indoor swimming pool, a track & field court, and an indoor sports center with facilities for squash, table tennis, gymnastics, volleyball, martial arts, and other events.

Athens College is incorporated in both Greece and the State of New York and is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization. Furthermore, very important for the school's spirit and an indication of its special status is its scholarship program (funded by the parents associations and the alumni club SAKA) which has given numerous students from all socioeconomic layers the opportunity to study there.

History
Athens College was established in 1925 by a group of Greeks (Emmanuel Benakis and Stephanos Delta among them) with the support of American philhellenes, including Dr. Bert Hodge, Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

Athens College, 1925–1980
The Founding Committee of Athens College, which became its board of directors, was organized in May 1924. Its members were Epaminondas Charilaos, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Bert Hodge Hill, Director of the American School of Classical Studies, Stephanos Delta, retired businessman and treasurer of the Refugee Settlement Commission, Stavros Papadakis, YMCA. secretary, Emmanuel Benakis, retired businessman, former Minister and former Mayor of Athens, Petros Calligas, former Minister, Harold Jacquith, Director of the Near East Relief, Nicolas Kyriakides, shipowner. Later, Emmanuel Benakis who has been a major donator for the college, was named emeritus member and was replaced at the committee by his son Antonios.

Another notable founding member is Ery Kehaya, who was chairman of the standard commercial and tobacco company inc.

During the academic year 1930–31, the number of the pupils reached 351, and the number of professors 44 (9 were Americans, the rest of them Greek). A seventh year was then added to the six-year Gymnasium. This supplementary year will be a particularity of Athens College.

During the 1930s, the college had many economic difficulties, and new collects were then organized. With money from various sponsors, new buildings have been constructed, the library has been founded as well a scholarship fund. Homer Davis, who was acting director of the college after the departure of Dewing in 1930, was named its president in 1932. He will keep this charge until 1960, and will be Acting President in 1964–65. The Greek co-directors during those years, were Michael Michaelides-Nouaros (1925–27), Demetrius Georgakis (1927–36), Emmanuel Troulinos (1936–62), Constantine Lalopoulos (1962–73) and Sofocles Markianos (1973–78).

In 1974, after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Athens College accepted 30 Greek Cypriot refugees into the College Boarding Department and gave them full scholarships.

Athens College, 1980–today
Athens College (and its sister school, Psychico College, founded in 1980) is owned by the Hellenic-American Educational Foundation, a non-profit organization with facilities located in Psychico (Middle and High Schools and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program) and Kantza in eastern Attica (two elementary schools: Bodossakio and Latsio).

When it first began, in October 1925, Athens College occupied a rented building on 18 Androu Street in the heart of Athens. The school moved to Psychico in 1929. That same year, the Benaki Hall was dedicated by Eleftherios Venizelos, then Greece's Prime Minister and an ardent supporter of the school. In his speech during the dedication ceremony, Venizelos made some memorable remarks:

"... Private schools are where the greatest and most successful innovations may flourish: loosely supervised by the State and complying with broad State guidelines, private schools enjoy the freedom which public schools lack and, therefore, may achieve great progress. This is the kind of progress we expect Athens College to achieve. This is my judgment of the significance of the College."

Barrel Fever

Barrel Fever and Other Stories is a 1994 collection of short stories and essays by American humorist David Sedaris. The first section consists of pieces clearly labeled as short fiction and the second half contains autobiographical essays, a distinction that is not made in his subsequent books.

The most famous of the essays is "SantaLand Diaries", the essay that made Sedaris famous when he read it on National Public Radio in 1992. The essay tells of his experiences working as an elf named Crumpet at Macy's. The other is "Diary of a Smoker", which was made into a 13-minute film shown at Sundance Film Festival by Matthew Modine.

The book was on bestseller lists in Chicago and San Francisco.

Stories

 * 1) Parade
 * 2) Music for Lovers
 * 3) The Last You'll Hear from Me
 * 4) My Manuscript
 * 5) Firestone
 * 6) We Get Along
 * 7) Glen's Homophobia Newsletter Vol. 3, No. 2
 * 8) Don's Story
 * 9) Season's Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!
 * 10) Jamboree
 * 11) After Malison
 * 12) Barrel Fever

Essays

 * 1) Diary of a Smoker
 * 2) Giantess
 * 3) The Curly Kind
 * 4) SantaLand Diaries

Reception
A 1994 review in Newsweek magazine said that despite Sedaris's fondness for "high-concept premises" and tendency to "eschew deep thoughts", "there's something delicious about the way he lampoons his characters, the way he lets everybody burn on their own private bonfire of vanity. This is a writer who's cleaned our toilets and will never look at us the same way."

A 2007 article in The New Republic criticized Sedaris's method of blurring fact and fiction in several of his books, including Barrel Fever. Alex Heard, who once edited Sedaris's work and said he started out as a fan. Heard noted that although the short story "My Manuscript" was clearly presented as fiction, many reviewers took his description of a guitar teacher called "Mr. Chatam" as fact. To further complicate things, upon investigation it turned out that there actually was a guitar teacher in North Carolina, who fit the description in some ways, but had been exaggerated for comedic effect.

Talk:Subphylum

Dear Mrs.weresch,

About the life systems page that you gave us on our diversity of living things project. The part were you state that we have to identify the animals phylum (invertebrates) or class (vertebrate). Don't you mean subphylum instead of class. I don't know if you meant to put that or not, but I put a defanition and you can tell me if I m right or wrong.

The subphylum

In biological term, a division between phylum and class The rank of plants and fungi are equivalent to subphylum. Not all phyla are divided into subphylum. Subphylums are actually verebrates/vertebratas

I don't know if think that this is right or not.

Thank you for your time, Geneva

==

I removed Craniata - it's a superset of Vertebrata and at most one of them can be considered a subphylum. I left Vertebrata as it's the better known. Orcoteuthis (talk) 15:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hugh Montgomerie, 12th Earl of Eglinton

Colonel Hugh Montgomerie, 12th Earl of Eglinton, KT (5 November 1739 – 14 December 1819) was a Scottish peer, politician, soldier and composer.

Biography
Montgomerie was styled Lord Montgomerie from 1769. He sat as a Member of Parliament for Ayrshire off and on from 1780 to 1796. That year he became Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire, a post he held until his death. In 1794 he raised a fencible regiment, the West Lowland Fencibles of which he was colonel.

In 1798, having previously succeeded to the earldom through his third cousin, he was elected a Scottish representative peer and moved to the House of Lords. On 15 February 1806, he was created Baron Ardrossan in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, enabling him to sit the Lords in his own right. He was made a Knight of the Thistle in 1814.

As large ships were unable to reach Glasgow due to the silting of the River Clyde, Montgomerie promoted and partially funded the Glasgow, Paisley and Ardrossan Canal. However, funds ran out, and the canal was only constructed from Glasgow to Johnstone via Paisley. The Glasgow terminus of the canal was at Port Eglinton. Though the wharf is now filled in, the neighbouring Eglinton Street still bears his name. Preparatory work on the canal from the new harbour created at Ardrossan was used as the basis for Glasgow Street, which is the main thoroughfare of the town.

Montgomerie was an amateur composer and cellist. His best-known work is the dance tune "Ayrshire Lasses," and other composers dedicated works to him, including Thomas Arne.

Family
Montgomerie married Eleanora Hamilton, daughter of Robert Hamilton and Jean Mitchell, around 3 June 1772. They had two sons, and two daughters:

 * Maj.-Gen. the Hon. Archibald Montgomerie, Lord Montgomerie (30 July 1773 – 4 January 1814)
 * The Hon. Roger Montgomerie (d. June 1799), Officer in the Royal Navy
 * Lady Jane Montgomerie (d. 23 February 1860)
 * Lady Lilias Montgomerie (d. 10 September 1845)

 * Speedy Delete. I Added Nonsense tag -- this is gibberish, or a new form of poetry. Churchill was great, but this guy can't connect a thought. Don't know where you all see even research, save perhaps research as to how long this posting can last w/o being deleted! Fabartus 04:08, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Rudolf Anderson

Rudolf Anderson Jr. (September 15, 1927 – October 27, 1962) was an American Air Force major and pilot. He was the first recipient of the Air Force Cross, the U.S. military's and Air Force's second-highest award and decoration for valor. The only U.S. fatality by enemy fire during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Anderson died when his U-2 reconnaissance aircraft was shot down over Cuba. He had previously served in Korea during the Korean War.

Early life and education
Anderson was born in Spartanburg, South Carolina near Greenville. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout from Boy Scout Troop 19 in Greenville and was a member of Recovery Lodge no. 31, Greenville's oldest Masonic Lodge. After graduating from Augusta Circle Elementary School in Greenville, he graduated from Greenville High School in 1944. In 1948, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Textile Engineering from Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina as a member of Air Force ROTC Detachment 770. For the next three years, he was employed in Greenville.

Air Force career
He entered the Air Force in November 1951 during the Korean War. Commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in 1952, Anderson completed Primary and Advanced pilot training and received his U.S. Air Force aeronautical rating as a pilot; he received his pilot wings in February 1953. He began his operational career flying RF-86 Sabres and earned two Distinguished Flying Crosses for reconnaissance missions after the war ended, when he was assigned to the 15th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron at Kunsan Air Base in South Korea and flying missions out of Komaki Air Base in Japan. In April 1955, he returned to the United States. After qualifying on the U-2 on September 3, 1957, "he became the 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing's top U-2 pilot with over one thousand hours, making him a vital part of the United States' reconnaissance operation over Cuba in late October of 1962."

Cuban Missile Crisis
Originally flown by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Lockheed U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance missions over Cuba were taken over by the Air Force on October 14, 1962, using CIA U-2 aircraft that were repainted with USAF insignia. Anderson was part of the 4028th Strategic Reconnaissance Weather Squadron, 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, headquartered at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas. On October 15, when CIA analysts studied reconnaissance film from the first 4080th overflight, they found SS-4 medium-range ballistic missiles. These pictures triggered the Cuban Missile Crisis.

On Saturday, October 27, Anderson took off on his sixth mission over Cuba in a U-2F Dragon Lady (AF Serial Number 56-6676, former CIA Article 343), from a forward operating location at McCoy Air Force Base in Orlando, Florida. A few hours into his mission, he was shot down over Banes, Cuba by one of two Soviet-supplied S-75 Dvina (NATO designation SA-2 Guideline) surface-to-air missiles that were fired at his aircraft by the orders of two Soviet generals, stationed in Havana.

"The loss of the U-2 over Banes was probably caused by intercept by an SA-2 from the Banes site, or pilot hypoxia, with the former appearing more likely on the basis of present information" stated a CIA document dated 0200 hrs, October 28, 1962. This would mean Anderson was killed when fragmentation from the exploding proximity warhead punctured his pressure suit, causing it to decompress at high altitude.

On October 31, Acting United Nations Secretary-General U Thant returned from a visit with Premier Fidel Castro and announced that Anderson was dead. His body was released by Cuba on Sunday, November 4, and he was buried at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Greenville two days later.

By order of President John F. Kennedy, Anderson was posthumously awarded the first Air Force Cross, as well as the Air Force Distinguished Service Medal, the Purple Heart, and the Cheney Award. On July 26, 2011, Anderson was inducted into the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Distinguished Alumni in a ceremony at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, officiated by Lieutenant General Allen G. Peck, Commander, Air University.

Anderson was the only combat death among the eleven U-2 pilots that flew over Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis; the other ten pilots were each awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Three reconnaissance-variant Boeing RB-47 Stratojets of the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing crashed between September 27 and November 11, 1962, killing a total of 11 crewmembers. Seven more airmen died when a Boeing C-135B Stratolifter delivering ammunition to Naval Base Guantanamo Bay in Cuba stalled and crashed on approach on October 23.

Wreckage
Some of the wreckage of Major Anderson's aircraft is on display in three museums in Cuba. One of the engine intakes is at the Museo de la Lucha contra Bandidos in Trinidad. The engine and portion of the tail assembly from the U-2F is at the Museum of the Revolution in Havana. The right wing, a portion of the tail assembly, and front landing gear are at the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña, or La Cabaña, Havana. The two latter groups of parts were previously displayed at the Museo del Aire, Havana.

Military awards
Anderson's military awards and decorations are as follows:

Air Force Cross citation
"The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Air Force Cross (Posthumously) to Rudolf Anderson, Major, United States Air Force, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with the 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, Strategic Air Command (SAC), from 15 October 1962 to 27 October 1962. During this period of great national crisis, Major Anderson, flying an unescorted, unarmed aircraft, lost his life while participating in one of several aerial reconnaissance missions over Cuba. While executing these aerial missions, Major Anderson made photographs which provided the United States government with conclusive evidence of the introduction of long-range offensive missiles into Cuba and which materially assisted our leaders in charting the nation's military and diplomatic course. Through his extraordinary heroism, superb airmanship, and aggressiveness in the face of the enemy, Major Anderson reflected the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force."

Other awards, namings, memorials and recognitions
Anderson's other recognitions:
 * Cheney Award, 1962
 * Anderson Elementary School at Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks, Alaska was named for him in 1964.
 * The Maj. Rudolf Anderson Jr. Squadron of the Arnold Air Society at Clemson University was named in his honor.
 * American Legion Post 214 in Greenville, South Carolina, was named after him in 2015.
 * A memorial to Anderson was erected and dedicated to him in 1963 at Cleveland Park in Greenville. No surplus U-2 aircraft were available at the time, so an F-86 Sabre like the ones he flew in Korea was used instead: North American YF-86H-1-NA Sabre, AF Ser. No. 52-1976. The memorial was redesigned, and it was rededicated on October 27, 2012, the 50th anniversary of Anderson's death.
 * The building for the 47th Operations Group at Laughlin AFB, Texas, was renamed "Anderson Hall" in 2001.
 * Anderson was inducted in the South Carolina Aviation Hall of Fame in 2008.
 * Anderson was inducted into the Greenville County Schools Hall of Fame in 2019.

Popular culture
The shooting down of Anderson's U-2 reconnaissance flight over Cuba is featured in the 2000 film Thirteen Days starring Kevin Costner; actor Charles Esten plays the role of Anderson.

Misattribution and imitators
Yankovic's official website has the following note:

"Unfortunately, there are a lot of song parodies floating around the Internet being attributed to Al which are in fact done by somebody else. 'Star Wars Cantina,' 'Windows 95 Sucks,' 'Living La Vida Yoda,' 'Combo No. 5,' 'What If God Smoked Cannabis,' 'He Got The Wrong Foot Amputated' (the list goes on and on ... some of the titles are unprintable in a family-friendly web site) – these songs are NOT by Al. If you want to verify whether or not a song is actually by Al, check the Catalogue page."

Because Yankovic is arguably the most successful parody artist, songs posted to file sharing networks are often misattributed to him due to their humorous subject matter. Much to the disdain of Yankovic, this includes songs that are racist, sexually explicit, or otherwise offensive. A young listener who had heard several of these offensive tracks by way of a file sharing service confronted Yankovic online, threatening a boycott due to his supposedly explicit lyrics.

Yankovic cites these misattributions as "his real beef with P2P sites":

"If you do a search for my name on any one of those sites, I guarantee you that about half of the songs that come up will be songs I had absolutely nothing to do with. That particularly bothers me, because I really try to do quality work, and I also try to maintain a more-or-less family-friendly image – and some of these songs that are supposedly by me are just ... well, vulgar and awful. I truly think my reputation has suffered in a lot of people's minds because of all those fake Weird Al songs floating around the Internet."

A list of songs not by Yankovic can be found at The Not Al List. Alternatively, a list of all commercially released songs recorded by Yankovic can be found on his website.

Talk:Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack

Flash FM...
Does anyone know why Vice City's Flash FM CD didn't have a few of the songs in the game, like Radio Killed the Radio Star, or Japanese Boy? 74.166.34.239 03:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Espantoso playing "mexican" music?
It seems to me that the station actually plays Caribbean-themed music, which goes along with Vice City being an approximation of Miami, known to have a large Cuban population. I'm going to change it for now. If anyone wants to contest it, please feel free to continue the discussion. --Impaciente 00:22, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

As a mexican, I agree with you, the music in Espantoso is caribbean-themed and not mexican-themed.

merges?
What do you call three Mexicans trying to steal a car?

Grand Theft Auto.

shall we start the merges of all the articles, gentlemen (and ladies)? who wants to do the honors? id be happy to help with a few of them in a week's time or so -mysekurity
 * I'll take V-Rock, since I stumbled upon it while looking to redirect to WSTB (FM) (which once was called V-ROCK). After merging into this article, I'll leave V-Rock up as a disambig page to both this article and WSTB. SwissCelt 05:35, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Which should come first, [the artist (in wikilink)] - [the song title (in italics)], or the song then the artist? (is there a page on this? ill add some more as im able. thanks tho \mysekurity 00:56, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)/
 * No idea. I more or less c&p'ed from the article to be merged.  (Which, of course, means I also did no fact-checking whatsoever.  Bad Wikipedian!  No donut for me!)  Feel free to change this. SwissCelt 02:09, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

template box?
Should there be a specific box or table created for these stations, if anyone knows how to make it? Perhaps something along the lines of host, guest, commercials, songs, etc.? i think that might be a good idea; where every station gets its own box. maybe then, the tracks from GTA3 could also be formatted in the same way in their article. Perhaps?
 * I disagree. Having several boxes on one article won't look very good, when there isn't much other material at present.  Also, if you're thinking of having these infoboxes on the "station" articles, we're trying to move away from each station having its own article. SwissCelt 13:10, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. How then do you propose to separate out these articles? Your sugguestions would be appreciated. mysekurity 20:56, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the best way is to use headers for each section on one article page, as has been done with the "V-Rock" station. There's not a whole lot that can be said about each station, so including them all on one page shouldn't be a problem. SwissCelt 23:08, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

artist order and station template
I personally think the artist should appear first, followed by a dash, then the song title in italics.

which would look like: Artist - Song Title

Also, I think the default station template should be changed to something slightly less akward. Just my $.02 -mysekurity

 * ok, I completed all the merges, so I guess we can delete all the other pages now? I'm still wondering about the song and station templates. Maybe I'll fix them later mysekurity 02:01, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

shorter title
Would anyone mind if I moved the page to something with a slightly shorter title? Or perhaps this length is fine? It might just be me, but I feel as if Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack is WAYYY too long. Maybe something along the lines of GTA:VC soundtrack or Vice City soundtrack? We could still leave this page up for anyone who might be searching for it...I would be willing to change all the redirects and articles to the shorter title, as it would take a lot less typing. And I think I'm going to go ahead and fmt the artist - song order, unless anyone is opposed. Comments appreciated, mysekurity 03:06, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not just redirect GTA:VC soundtrack to this article? Go ahead and reformat the artist-song order, though. SwissCelt 03:30, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

V-Rock discography
Actually, the name of Quiet Riot's song really is Cum on Feel the Noize. It's sometimes written with the word "Come" so to avoid an obscenity in English (or just American English?) associated with the word cum. See also VH1's album info for the Quiet Riot album (Mental Health) on which Noize appears. SwissCelt 5 July 2005 22:26 (UTC)

Awesome dude, I've only ever seen it spelt the later way and thought that it was a typo. Cheers!--FarQPwnsJoo 6 July 2005 04:00 (UTC)

VCPR Segment Ordering
Just a minor nitpick, but the ordering of the various Pressing Issues segments are way off. By playing or extracting/converting the file on the game disc with a program such as MFAudio, the order comes out to be: Morality, Perception, and then Public Safety. I'm only mentioning this just to be thorough and I'll leave it to you folks to edit it if you wish.

I tried modeling the Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack article after the San Andreas and LCS soundtrack articles and it got reverted so I guess I should ask before doing it here. here is what the article would look like afterwards(I used wildstyle as an example):

Wildstyle
DJ: Mr. Magic Genre: 80's Rap Imaging: Frank Silvestro

Wildstyle is hosted by famed DJ Mr. Magic, who was an actual rap DJ during the 1980s, when the game takes place. The station plays rap and period electro music.

The following songs can be heard on the station:
 * Trouble Funk - Pump it up (not on soundtrack album)
 * Davy DMX - One for the Treble
 * Cybotron - Clear
 * Hashim - Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)
 * Herbie Hancock - Rockit
 * Afrika Bambaataa + The Soulsonic Force - Looking for the Perfect Beat
 * 2 Live Crew - Get It Girl
 * Run DMC - Rock Box
 * Mantronix - Bassline
 * Tyrone Brunson - The Smurf
 * Whodini - Magic's Wand
 * Zapp + Roger - More Bounce to the Ounce
 * Grandmaster Flash + The Furious Five - The Message
 * Kurtis Blow - The Breaks
 * Man Parrish - Hip Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)

also, can't we make a cd soundtrack section instead of saying (this song isn't on the cd) etc. --Phil 01:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

VCPR
Does this article REALLY need 400 words about K-Chat and 1000 words about VCPR? It makes for a very unbalanced article and it's just a laundry list of everything on the station. If someone wants they could dump all that stuff in a separate article and just provide a paragraph or two for this article. All this article really needs is a brief paragraph or two about them.

I agree. maybe just add the guests and a couple sentences to describe their attitudes and actions on k-chat and vcpr. the Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack is the same. --Phil 05:40, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

There's something missing...
Where did Emotion 98.3FM go? KnucklesEchidna 11:52, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Er...I see it there. --67.142.130.26 13:48, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Order of songs
Would it not have been better if we stuck to the order of the songs as they appear in gameplay rather than as they appear on the soundtrack CD's?
 * Might be a good idea. Tayquan 07:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hidden Tracks
Big Country - In a big country

I definitely do not hear the song while watching the cutscene. At the beginning, while Vercetti and party are inside the Malibu, the song that is playing is The Message by Grandmaster Flash Also, if an article is created, is there a procedure to be followed, or does one just "create it and viola"?

 * It's definitely in my copy. I think there was a few different versions of the game which had minor differences between them, so perhaps they switched songs in that scene for some reason.  Dbam  Talk/Contributions 15:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't hear this song in any of the numerous cutscenes in "The Job" mission. It might be helpful to identify the game version/platform that this appears in.

The box set presents the stations in a different way to the in-game radio format, and the articles should remain separate to show this.

Missing Logos / Edit Request 5/10/14

 * It appears that the logos for the radio stations in GTA Vice City were removed from the artical a while back. Could they be reuploaded to Wikipedia and put on the page? The logos can be found on the GTA Wiki aswell as on photos throughout the internet. The same thing needs to be done for the other GTA Soundtrack pages from GTA 3 to GTA 4, as those logos were also removed a while ago. --24.147.1.197 (talk) 22:28, 10 May 2014 (UTC)Jacob Chesley

Why was this article redirected to the main page?
Why does this article redirect to the GTA Vice City page or the commercially released box set of the soundtrack? The GTA3, GTA4, and GTA5 articles all have their own soundtrack pages, and Vice City had its own soundtrack page for the past 10 years. The problem with redirecting the original soundtrack page to the commercially released box set, is the box set didn't include the full soundtrack from the game. If GTA3, 4 and 5 get their own soundtrack pages, then GTA Vice City should get its old page back too.

User talk:Aminto

Your RfAr
I see you filed a Request for Arbitration. Your request is a bit misplaced; if there's any forum at all for this is Deletion Review, but even then, it was a year-old uncontroversial deletion of what appeared to be an advertisement, so that's likely to be closed quickly. If the game truly does meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion now, you may simply recreate the article. However, please read the guidelines at Your first article first, especially as this is your own product you are writing about, as we tend to discourage articles that appear to be self-promotion. I cannot say whether or not it would be kept now, as I don't know anything about the game, but if there is any way it should be included this is the way to do it. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 15:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Aminto, I started the article. The Da Vinci Game. If the article is too light on material I will merge it somewhere. FloNight   talk  17:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mindspillage, thanks for clarifying the situation for me. FloNight, many thanks for creating the new page. I see that the RfAr has now been removed, which makes sense and hope everyone's happy with things as they stand at the moment. Aminto.

 * Hello Aminto : ) The arbitration case was removed because it was obvious you meant to request a review of the Afd instead of RFAr. It caused a chuckle among a lot of Wikipedians (some probably even wondering if it was a April Fools Day joke hatched early). Arbitration is the last step in the dispute process, usually brought because one or more editors are being disruptive to the point of interfering with writing the encyclopedia. If you didn't know, Mindspillage is an arbitrator. She also has a reputation for being calm and level headed, not someone likely to be involved in a disruptive dispute. So seeing her involvement with a arb case was surprising. : )

 * After I saw your request, I went ahead and started the article. As Mindspillage says, articles can be started if there is a valid reason for doing it. To justify the article, I presented the game as part of a fad. I began linking the codes and symbolism in the game to the novel and the fad. I think, this is the best way for it to be considered notable. If it is seen as an promotion for the product it will be quickly brought up on Afd. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to include some more information on the fad aspect and the code. cheers, -- FloNight   talk  17:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds good to me. I have to admit I chuckled at the chance to respond to a request for arbitration brought against me! Looks like FloNight has got you well started; cheers and happy editing. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 08:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Hiya, I had originally planned on simply asking what I should do on your talk section Mindspillage, but when I visited there it seemed to indicate I should go to an arbitration page and I must admit I then got completely baffled by all the different options. Thanks again to you both for sorting everything out.  Aminto.

Frankenfish

Frankenfish is a 2004 American horror film directed by Mark A.Z. Dippé. Filmed in Baldwin County, Alabama, a pack of massive, bloodthirsty, genetically engineered fish combing the quiet bayou waters of the river in the Louisiana Bayou, searching for prey. Based on the snakehead fish incident in a Crofton, Maryland, pond, Frankenfish is one of three films based on the incident, the others being Snakehead Terror and Swarm of the Snakehead.

Plot
Fishermen John Crankton is killed by an unseen animal. The next day, medical examiner Sam Rivers and biologist Mary Callahan travel into the bayou to investigate John's mysterious death. Having grown up in the area, Sam is comfortable in his surroundings while Mary is not. They find Elmer noodling for catfish in the swamp canals. With Elmer, Sam and Mary travel upriver to the fishing community. They meet Gloria and Eliza Crankton, John's wife and daughter. Eliza's semi-boyfriend Dan also lives in the house. Gloria explains that a strange boat washed upriver three months ago after a hurricane and weird things have happened since.

Sam and Mary find a large fishing boat along the bank of a canal. They explore the interior while Elmer waits in the boat outside. They discover the remains of the crew in the hold. Upset and nauseous, Mary clumsily knocks Elmer from the boat and something drags him down. Sam and Mary flee in the boat, unaware that they have triggered a homing signal on the ship. On the mainland, a team relays the information to their employer, Jeff, a wealthy bounty hunter.

Later that night, Roland hears noises while on the roof of his houseboat. He leans over the edge and an unseen fish leaps up and decapitates him. His wife Bobbi attempts to escape the houseboat on a small boat, but the fish (revealing itself a frankenfish) flips her out and kills her. Frightened, the group tries to flee in boats, but the fish destroys them. Trying to come with a plan to escape, Eliza gets over to Roland and Bobbi's house to try and start it up to escape. However, the houseboat is inoperable. On a neighboring stilt house, Ricardo baits a large hook using an entire catfish and manages to land the fish. Roughly as big as a full-grown man, the fish can breathe air and hops forward biting at Ricardo's legs. Ricardo manages to kill it with a shotgun blast to the head. In vengeance, he tears out its heart and barbecues it. As he takes his first bite, a second frankenfish leaps from the water and devours him.

While everyone panics, Mary declares she has an idea on how to get off the boathouse. Before she can explain, she is killed by an accidental gunshot due to an explosion. A fire propels a propane tank into the boathouse causing an explosion that sends Eliza into the water. Sam dives in and rescues her. Simultaneously, the fish leaps from the water and bites off Gloria's legs. The fish begins attacking the boathouses, punching holes in them to make them sink.

Jeff and his crew arrive and the fish attacks them too, knocking them out of the fanboat. They swim quickly to the safety of the sinking stilt houses. Jeff explains that the fish are genetically engineered snakeheads. Sam, Eliza, and Dan have no choice but to join Jeff in pursuing the fish, even after most of his crew is killed.

The crew follows a trail of blood back to the fish's den and find the fish is dead. Jeff forces Sam at gunpoint to enter first. Sam flees the den as behind him, a third, much larger frankenfish kills two hunters, including Jeff. Dan, Sam, and Eliza quickly leave on the fan boat, chased by the fish. Dan falls from the boat during the chase but scrambles up a mudbank. Realizing they cannot outrace the fish, Sam drives the fan boat up a stand of tree stumps and knocks off the protective lining of the fan. Unable to slow its momentum, the fish launches into the whirling blades to its death. Sam and Eliza kiss and go back the way they came to get Dan. However, Dan is trapped in the mud as dozens of baby frankenfish attack him.

Home media
Frankenfish was released on DVD and VHS on October 26, 2004.

Reception
James Mudge of Beyond Hollywood wrote that the film, as judged by its peers, was "a surprising success". Jon Condit of Dread Central rated it 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "It is what it is and it’s better at being it than most of the recent offerings similar to it." Dennis Prince of DVD Verdict wrote that the film is a retread but has good gore effects. In a 2018 retrospective review, Glenn Cochrane of ScreenRealm wrote that although the film's visual effects are severely dated, it still offers a fun time for viewers with "a penchant for cheesy B movie creature features."

The Quest of Ki

The Quest of Ki (カイの冒険) is a 1988 video game developed by Game Studio and published by Namco for the Family Computer. It is the third game in Babylonian Castle Saga series which started with the 1984 arcade game, The Tower of Druaga.

The game was ported to the Nintendo Switch in the Japanese game compilation Namcot Collection in August 2020, as DLC.

Plot
The story of The Quest of Ki acts as a prequel to The Tower of Druaga. It occurs shortly after the demon Druaga has stolen the Blue Crystal Rod and taken to a tower originally built by the Sumer Empire, in which the god Anu had destroyed. The goddess Ishtar gives the priestess Ki a golden tiara that enables the power of flight, and sends her to the tower in order to retrieve The Blue Crystal Rod. The game then follows her doomed quest to the top of the tower, with help from the dragon Quox. Upon reaching the 60th floor, Ki reaches the Blue Crystal Rod, but Druaga splits the rod into three pieces and transforms Ki into stone, leading up to the events of The Tower of Druaga.

Gameplay
The game is a side-scrolling platformer with one hundred levels. In each level, the player's goal is to pick up a key and open the door leading to the next area. Various enemies, including slimes, ghosts, and wizards, appear on each floor, and any contact with them results in death.

Ki has no weapons, and thus can not damage or defeat any of the enemies. Her only abilities are to dash and jump. As long as the player holds the jump button down, Ki can rise indefinitely into the air. However, contact with the ceiling or dashing against a wall will cause her to drop to the ground and become stunned for several seconds. This mechanic of floating and getting stunned from bumping against the walls or ceiling is similar to the 1983 Atari vector arcade game, Major Havoc.

Many of the levels consist of puzzles in which the player must carefully regulate the height and direction of Ki's jumps. Each stage in the game contains one or more treasure chests, which hold various items. Although many of the items bestow helpful abilities, the effects only last for the floor on which they were found.

After completing the game, players can gain access to forty bonus stages. These stages contain cameos from the Pac-Man ghosts and the enemies from Dig Dug.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Homonazi

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE. Golbez 07:34, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Homonazi
Homonazi seems to be a term of abuse which is used by nearly no one. It gets 75 hits on Google: fewer than most mispelled words, and fewer than many other nologisms. Since it is a made-up word, it has no definite meaning. - Germaine Hitler 03:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism. -- BD2412 talk 03:16, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
 * Delete. And use the vfd2 template next time so it generates a nice title as it looked like this was part of the previous vote before. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 03:36, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. NeoJustin 04:05, June 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, neologism. --bainer (talk) 04:14, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or speedy delete. Text of article right now is as follows: "A "homonazi" is a term of abuse which is used by nearly no one. It gets 75 hits on Google: fewer than most mispelled words, and fewer than many other nologisms. Since it is a made-up word, it has no definite meaning, but the person who put it in Wikipedia wants you to think it means a militant homosexual who has an irrational hatred of heterosexuals-whatever that may be.  The term, said person purports, was first heard in general speech and observed in newspaper correspondence about 2003 or 2004.  In actuallity it seems to have been made up by some dittohead, who imagines it to be a parallel with the term of abuse conjured up by his hero, Rush Limbaugh, namely feminazi."   Sounds like the author's asking for it to be deleted. --Idont Havaname 04:21, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Vandalized See History. 'Nazi' part of term evidently inpired Hitler to create login name.  I did not revert.  Was tagged for transwiki. Fabartus 04:27, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Hold your votes folks, this may not belong on Vfd. Fabartus 04:28, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Um...improving the veracity of the article is not vandalization. And whether or not Wiktonary is foolish enough to accept this as a word, has nothing to do with the need to delete it here. Of course this belongs on VfD! And anyone with any sense would recognize I wasn't inspired by homonazi, but by feminazi. I'm not "Bruce Hitler", darling! - Germaine Hitler 04:59, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * That's an excellent rewrite job. Do not clutter up the Wiktionary with extremely minor neologisms; instead, simply crush underfoot, I mean delete. -- Hoary 09:56, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
 * Delete - if the term ever catches on, we can still add it. -- AlexR 10:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Germaine Hitler's latest edit of this article leaves it in a state whereby it only acts as a personal attack on both the anon writer, and...Rush Limbaugh? Anyway, while this article should be deleted, I believe it should be kept until an admin has a look at whether Germaine Hitler has broken any rules regarding vicious personal attacks on Wikipedia. Harro5 11:44, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Eh? The bit that I think you're referring to reads: In actuallity [sic] it [sc. the term] seems to have been made up by some dittohead, who imagines it to be a parallel with the term of abuse conjured up by his hero, Rush Limbaugh, namely feminazi. If that's an attack, it's an attack on the creator of the neologism, not the writer of the article -- unless of course they're identical (which wouldn't surprise me). But I don't think it's an attack. It's a criticism and speculation, and probably shouldn't be there for those reasons. Viciousness level: zero. -- Hoary 12:58, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
 * It was very inappropriate for User:Germaine Hitler to replace the text of the article with the text of his VFD vote, regardless of how lame the original article was. That's a behavior we want to strongly condemn before others copy his example. No vote—Wahoofive (talk) 15:41, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Nonsense. There's no reason for an inaccurate article to remain inaccurate while we wait for it to be voted out of existence. - Germaine Histler 01:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is. For one thing, how do people know what they're voting to delete if you've replaced the content? On Wikipedia, replacing an article's content with your own opinion is called vandalism.—Wahoofive (talk) 15:51, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a mixture of the wrong and the simplistic, Wahoofive. While replacement of encyclopedic content with mere personal opinion is bad and arguably vandalism, the VfD template says You are welcome to edit this article. And people can know what they're voting to delete by clicking to look at it; if they worry that the content of the article may be unusually volatile, they're always free to specify the version that they're voting to delete; and they should always specify the reason(s) for deleting it. -- Hoary 05:03, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete this appears to be little more than a homophobic slang term. Tombride 18:55, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah. By "request". Why is that an "important note"? Why are you more concerned with my name than you are with the insertion of homophobic nonsense into the Wikipedia? - Germaine Histler 01:23, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. (As a side note, I've heard "homofascist" used by Phelps (and other nuts) to describe the pro-tolerance agenda.  Don't know if that merits its own article, though...)  --L33tminion (talk) 01:30, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep' I have heard the term in a variety of situations, although only this year. The context in which it was used indicated that it was not an abusive term for homosexuals/gays, but rather those of an exterme ilk.

 * Delete. Neologism.  If found to be in use, then transfer to Wiktionary.  Either way, it's not encyclopaedic and doesn't belong here.  — Chameleon 12:24, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
