About Wine
It is a bit unfair to judge the countries with best wine by their share in the market. Some countries will never be major market players due to their small size, but still have some of the best wines in the world.

 * I assume this is in reference to my removal of "Slovenia" from a list of producers of collectable wines on the wine page. First, I never take lightly any change I make of someone else's edits on any Wikipedia article. I didn't immediately make this change either. I saw it in the morning, but waited until later in the day to give myself some time to consider the matter and do some research.

 * You, or someone else, edited the article to list "Slovenia, United States, and France" as producers of exclusive or collectable wines. This suggests to the reader that Slovenia is perhaps the most notable or largest producer or exclusive wines. I checked several wine references for this, both hardcopy books and online, and I just couldn't find anything to justify that. Quality is of course subjective, but in terms of notariety and quantity, I just couldn't find anything to suggest that Slovenia was a major player in this market. In researching this, I found the following to be the most recognized, talked about, and award-winning producers of collectable wines: France, Italy, Spain, the United States, Australia, and Portugal, in that order. To keep it short, I only listed the first four, but that was an arbritary decision on my part.

 * If you feel that Slovenia deserves special mention, please discuss it on the wine talk page. I obviously don't agree, but if the concensus sides with you, the article will change accordingly. Gregmg 14:31, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I didn't change the piece in question, but was there when it was done. I was just iritated by the reason of reversal - it seems that quality is equated with quantity, which i believe is very problematic, since it makes it impossible for any small country, not just Slovenia to enter the list of the countries with best wines. If the list actually contains the countries that are actually largest producers, than that should be noted, IMHO.

 * Again, I looked at the issue from every angle. Awards, coverage in the press, interest among collectors, etc. I just couldn't come up with anything to suggest that Slovenia was well known for its collectable or exclusive wines, or a major player in the collectable wine market. Perhaps I should have made that more clear when I made the change. Had I been the one to initially list any countries, I would have provided references. I may go back and add references for the list as it stands now, since I did change it. We really need to move this discussion to the Wine talk page. Gregmg 15:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the input on Assault Weapon
I've been watching the progress of this article, and trying to help out here and there. I'd only known the political definition previously, but you've done a great job explaining military usage of the term too. This article is getting better all the time. It's great to see someone providing neutral and informative content. Thanks! Friday 03:39, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, actually, the most recent edit to incorporate a military definition was someone else's work. Thanks though for your kind comments. Gregmg 14:05, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

The anonymous user removing Compuserve sentence on Rush Limbaugh
I don't know what this guy's deal is, but there have to be better steps to take than just reverting his changes. I've tried reporting it to WP:VIP but he uses an ISP that has different IP addresses. Let me know if you have any ideas. I think holding a vote may be the only way to stop him. MicahMN | Talk 14:18, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

The page should be protected until he loses interest and goes away. The thing I can't figure out is what his angle is. Does he really think this makes Rush look wierd? While I don't consider myself a "Dittohead" (Rush fan), I do kind of like him and listen to his show once in a while. I think this reference makes Rush look... well... smart. Gregmg 14:22, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Good revert on the Limbaugh page. I did it at almost the same time, but you beat me to it. Great minds...Gator1 00:57, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Racial slur
This whole nickname thing is a new one to me? Where is this guy getting this? I've never heard this one? Have you?Gator1 21:33, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

I wish I knew. I don't listen to Rush very often, so I can't say it's totally bogus. It seems out of character for Rush to say anything even suggestive of a slur. Perhaps someone who listens to Rush every day will respond to this. Gregmg 22:02, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Same here, I work during day, but I've heard him recently and I haven't heard him say this...you'd think someone would have jumpred on THAT right away. What do you want to do if this guy declares an edit war? I've got 2 edits left on the day. lolGator1 22:06, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

This smells a lot like the NAALCP controversy. Rush has repeatedly defined NAALCP as National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People when pointing out that the NAALCP never embraces conservative black politicians. But somewhere along the way someone swapped out Lazy for Liberal and people are still up in arms about it. I posted a comment to the talk page. Maybe someone with access to the transcripts will clarify or totally discount this new alleged quote. Gregmg 22:39, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Golbez
You tell me. Was Golbez's response to me on the Limbaugh page over the top or did I deserve that? Be honest, I trust you.Gator1 13:54, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I've been participating in online forums (Usenet) since '89. In my experience, it's best not to get too wrapped up in anything other people say in these forums. Just let their comments roll off of you and keep your cool. Your edits on the Limbaugh page and elsewhere have been a huge contribution to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work, but take my advice and don't let anything get to you.

 * Gregmg 14:40, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Sorry,I'll clarify. It was his response in his edit summary. See history. You're right. He can act like a real jerk sometimes and it just wasn't necessary. I mentioned "deafening silence" ONCE. How is that "harping?" Loo up "harp" in the dictonary......not cool. You're opinion is appreciated.Gator1 14:46, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks for removing my redundant links; didn't realize what the convention is.David Justin 20:32, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Good suggestion
Greg- That's a good suggestion, which I'll follow.David Justin 15:47, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

MobyGames
Greg- Within certain communities MobyGames is highly regarded. Specifically game developers consider MobyGames notable. Admittedly MobyGames is not consumer oriented. However it is the only website with a comprehensive database of video game credits. example 1, example 2, example 3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flipkin (talk • contribs)

 * I apologize if I implied at any point that it wasn't a highly regarded site. On the matter of your autobiography, I was merely suggesting that it wasn't prominent enough to convey notability to you. On the matter of linking to it from various game articles, I was suggesting that per the External links guide, in some cases a link to it from a Wikipedia article was not justified. Gregmg 23:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It's funny. The statement, "Everyone and their dog has a website these days... if that's the criteria for being worthy of an encyclopedia article, then I want to write one for my dog."  would imply something else.--Flipkin 23:41, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I was not disparaging your website. At no point have I suggested that the MobyGames article should not exist. I have only suggested that your biography should not. Didn't you feel at least a little uncomfortable creating a biographical article for yourself? While not against policy, per se, it certainly runs counter to Wikipedia guidelines. If your notability is such that a biographical article is warranted, someone else will write it. It's also considered link spamming to add external links in articles to your own site. Please review the External links guide for more information regarding what should and should not be linked to. Gregmg 23:52, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

In fact MobyGames is very much a community driven project. If you look at the history of MobyGames article it was not written by me, but there was wiki link someone create for David Berk. I filled it in trying to adhere to the NPOV guideline. Heck the thing said 'David Berk' article doesn't exist why don't you create it. Additionally I discovered wikipedia and there were a few links to mobygames. I created some and this was the feedback I got. At no point do I try to game the system or not adhere to the guidelines. There are a lot of opinions out there. I agree with some and not with others. If there was some other David Berk I could understand the removal of the bio. However I cofounded a website. It gets one million visitors a month. In a small niche of the industry ( which is growing ) a lot of people really consider what we are doing important. FYI it is late at night for me so I am not sure I am as articulate as I could be. --Flipkin 04:59, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Again, I don't have any issues with the MobyGames article. As I've stated several times, I was only suggesting that its importance and notariety does not convey sufficient notability to you for you to have your own article. On the secondary issue of the appropriateness of external links to MobyGames in specific game articles, while you have received some positve feedback from some, I know, as do you, that many others have been less enthusiastic with some even calling these links link spam. As I've stated elsewhere in Wikipedia, links to MobyGames need to be considered on a case by case basis and examined against the External links guide. You should consider the possibility that on matters concerning MobyGames you have a conflict of interest; as a Wikipedian, one is concerned with the quality of the content on this site, but as a proprietor of a website, one is concerned with promoting that site. Having a conflict of interest does not mean that one has allowed that conflict to interfere with good judgement, and I certainly do not mean to suggest that you are guilty of any bad judgement, but it does call into question the motivation for your edits. In any case, there are a bunch of Wikipedia guides and policy articles that define what is acceptable and what is not in terms of Wikipedia contributions and edits. It isn't really my place to decide any of this. If you have concerns with these policies and guidelines, your energies are best directed at the associated talk page(s). Spending your time hashing this out here isn't going to accomplish much. Gregmg 05:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Greg, I am strinking my last comment.  It was not very well thought out.  It was late and I wasn't being very smart.  You are right, except about the notability point.  We disagree there, but of course I am biased. : ) --Flipkin 15:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

What to do about copied material?
It seems that is a verbatim copy of Wikipedia's Wine_making article. There's no license or source information on vinopinions.org, at least none that I can find. I'm sure there must be a process for reporting and investigating this, but I can't find it. Gregmg 22:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I noticed that you posted something at Wikipedia talk:Verbatim copying page. You can report the copyright violating mirrors and forks at WP:MF if you have not found it yet.
 * This is becoming a rather a big problem, but we currently do not have enough people to properly deal with this problem. Perhaps you can help us? – WB 07:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I happened to see this. The other site is a Wiki site, so I simply blanked two pages (wine and winemaking) with an explanation. Maybe the owner simply forgot to put the GDFL/Wikipedia link in his templates. Han-Kwang 08:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Handling linkspam
Hi, I saw your comment on Winemaking. Next time you might add one of the templates, , , to the anon talk page, preferably directly after the fact before the person changes IP address. After spam4, you can request a block, although it is of limited use for someone who changes ip addresses all the time. Han-Kwang 08:10, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Noble Wine
Thanks for the info. I figured it meant something more specific, but as it was i felt it was pretty silly. Feel free to revert the change, and maybe add a sentence explaining what it means? Or maybe there needs to be an article about noble wine. *shrug*

MDK3 petition link on MDK2
Okay, its just that this is the first MDK3 petition I've ever come across.

I disagree with this link being removed (twice, once sent by me, other time sent by someone else) from the page as it is canon. If enough people sign it, perhaps we may have a MDK3 wiki article to type up. I find this behavior very ignorant, as most pages of Wikipedia, game, film, fiction is written for the fans. I don't care that Wikipedia doesn't like it in its criteria. Call me ignorant, but thats how I feel. Fansite links ARE canon. This petition link does not at all make the page 'biased'.

Its approaching the 10th anniversary of the original MDK and its hightime the fans do something, pestering someone to make MDK3, or even a possible fan project, maybe in other media, etc (as its slowly beginning to get forgotten about.) If you look up [Stargate SG1: The Alliance]'s page you'll find a petition to keep it running. A few other wiki's have similar petitions too.

If you can come across a more relevant link of a petition, for MDK3, then I'd be willing for you to share it with me, and the rest of the fans. Not only are the MDK games fantastic action series of games, they have deep thought and very clever concepts and art between the gameplay.

However, things such as 'Credits' are not needed. As there are clearly written IMDB articles on such details. Also I split the 'story' part into chapters, as it was just a whack of text shoved on a page and uneasy on the eye. I also added spoilers for the reason that any unsuspecting person that is curious about MDK2 can accidentally read everything that happens in the game, start to finish, without a sign of a warning.

I am also responsible for a large portion of the original MDK page if you look up the history page, yes, I'm a MDK fan, but I'm pretty proud of it. My aim is to write up as much as I can about the MDK series and further Shiny and Planet Moon games as quite a few need to be tidied up.

If you wish to continue this converation, enlighten me on my talk page or you could just call me a geek. --Fr3k3r 01:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It isn't for me to say what should or should not be linked to. The External links guide already does this, and it carries the weight of the concensus of the community. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Links should add value to the article in question. I don't believe a link to a petition adds any value to the article, and further, I believe it meets the spirit of links to be avoided as defined in the External links guide. Any further discussion of this matter should be carried out on the MDK2 talk page where it might provoke further consideration by other parties. Gregmg 04:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Me again, this time about MDK.
Okay, right, the petition link has gone on the MDK page.

This is not specifically a problem now, as over the days its been there, no ones signed it :(

So, we'll just forget about the whole thing, no-one else is complaining. However, It would be nice to have a way, to get MDK out there again. But the game world, such as the coilsuit, minecrawlers, deserve to be documented as they are just as innovative as B-movie plots.

I will also see about typing up the real copyright details for the images on the article, but are SERIOUSLY found on the MDK2 DC CD, presuambly making them public domain by Bioware/Interplay (I believe that either Bioware or Interplay own the MDK licence). Otherwise, why would they be there?

However, about the other links:

As far as my knowledge, this song was not released as a single, the only problem is a piece of trivia says that the song however, is a cover of another band. Thats the only thing really stopping this being linked to, is there a way to note the copyright of the original song/artists/song writers? Link to version of song vid. (Thats actually pretty weird to watch)
 * The BZK end vid is a bit edgy, not sure what the copyright is for this, but its technically a game recording/video, so it should be allowed as a public viewing video as long at it is not downloaded etc.

This link is David_Perry's forum section on his offical website. (Yes, this is a community site) But as he previously WAS the president of Shiny_Entertainment and he posted all the concept art on the page,; which as I said is very hard to find any on the net, let alone any MDK related stuff except reviews or MDK2 reviews. Also if you look futher down, that really large video for download is that very video off of Google you were inquiring about, (Have a test, I presume someone uploaded it on Google videos) for any futher questioning of the copyright of this video (or the image content of that forum); I suggest one of us actually pop onto the forum and attempt to have a chat with the man himself. --Fr3k3r 18:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * http://www.dpfiles.com/showthread.php?t=201

 * I will look into this a bit more as time permits, but you would really be better off discussing this on the article's talk page. Other's might get involved in the discussion and offer their own perspective. Gregmg 20:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Weasel words
I don't appreciate you reverting my edits to Rush Limbaugh with the edit summary "Some" is not a weasel word. Please see WP:Weasel..." I ask that you yourself please "see WP:Weasel" and read it because this is listed (it's the next-to-last example under "Examples."  I further note that the guideline specifically says that "The consensus of editors responsible for Wikipedia encourages you to name a source rather than assign an opinion to an anonymous source."

I'd appreciate if you would apologize. --ElKevbo 00:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Some is allowed when the sources are numerous. Please take another look at WP:Weasel. In the Exceptions section please note the following allowed example: "Some people prefer dogs as pets; others prefer cats."

 * I don't take lightly reverting another Wikipedian's edits. I do so only when I'm confident it is necessary in order to stay consistant with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and to maintain the quality of an article.

 * As Wikipedians, we are called on to assume good faith. I must assume that the true motivation for your edits to the Rush Limbaugh article is a desire to enhance the quality and content of the article specifically, and Wikipedia in general. In requesting an apology, it would appear that you are making a different assumption about my motivations.

 * Thank you for your comments. Gregmg 22:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

TelstraClear

TelstraClear Limited was New Zealand's second-largest telecommunications company before being acquired by Vodafone New Zealand in October 2012, previous to which it was a subsidiary of Australian company Telstra.

It provided residential line rental services, internet services, IT services, security services, cable TV/cable modem and mobile telephone services to 70,000 subscribers on its network in Wellington, Christchurch and Kapiti. Overall the company had around 200,000 customers.

In 2004, TelstraClear began offering residential line HomePlan services including broadband outside those areas where it has its own network, reselling the ADSL wholesale product from Telecom New Zealand, and investing millions in local loop unbundling, which entailed TelstraClear installing its own equipment in Telecom exchanges (the Telecom infrastructure business later became Chorus Limited).

History
TelstraClear had its beginnings in New Zealand with Kiwi Cable in the Kāpiti Coast district, Clear Communications in 1990, and Telstra New Zealand in 1996.

Telstra NZ slowly expanded its operations in the business market, bundling Telecom New Zealand services distributed as a reseller with its own network services. It installed switches in Auckland and Wellington to manage incoming and outgoing international traffic and maintained an interconnect agreement with Telecom New Zealand and is likely to have had others with companies such as Clear Communications.

In 1999 Saturn Communications was sold by its parent company, Austar United Communications, to a new joint venture with Telstra that became known as TelstraSaturn.

TelstraClear was then created by the merger of Telstra's TelstraSaturn and Clear Communications in December 2001. Austar United Communications held an initial investment of 42% in TelstraClear before selling it back to Telstra. In March 2003, TelstraClear unveiled a new advertising campaign highlighting what the company saw as the increased competition and benefits the merger would create for New Zealand.

TelstraClear had plans to expand its cable network into Auckland, but cancelled the plan in 2004 due to community opposition and questions about the business case.

In 2004 TelstraClear made its first acquisition in the IT market with the purchase of Sytec, mainly for its IP telephony and security skills, in particular the specialist managed security subsidiary DMZGlobal. In 2007 Sytec was formally introduced into the TelstraClear's enterprise and government division and the brand retired, but the DMZGlobal brand was retained and invested in.

Acquisition by Vodafone
In July 2012, Vodafone New Zealand announced plans to acquire TelstraClear. Vodafone approached Telstra to purchase TelstraClear for a payment of $840 million, and $450 million that TelstraClear had in its accounts. The Commerce Commission approved the bid on 30 October, and the sale was completed on 31 October. TelstraClear's final trading day was 31 March 2013. By May 2013, Vodafone said it had made good progress merging the two businesses, and that the TelstraClear branding would completely disappear by April or May 2013.

Telephone
Services are available from the "on-net" areas, where TelstraClear has its own network technology based on copper wires or fibre. These areas include parts of Central Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Napier, Palmerston North, Wanganui, Kapiti, Wellington, and Christchurch, with actual technology varying based on reach and type.

Plain Old Telephone Services (POTS)
'InHome' residential telephone service with vertical service code products were available in one of the following ways depending on location:
 * Saturn Communications' established cable network, in Kapiti, Wellington and Christchurch.
 * TelstraClear maintained equipment in Chorus unbundled exchanges in inner city suburbs.
 * Chorus maintained equipment in all other Chorus exchanges covering most outer lying suburbs and towns.

Single fixed line business telephone services were offered in 'on-net' ADSL and 'off-net' POTS Chorus fixed line areas.

Trunk lines
Business telephone services are available in 'on-net' ISDN inner city suburbs with basic and primary rate lines. In other areas, services are available using Chorus owned ISDN/ADSL lines and exchanges (primary lite, basic and (in special cases) legacy primary rates).

With 'IP Connect' SIP trunking became available in inner city suburbs.

Data networking
'Private IP', was a non-VPN leased line WAN service for business and wholesale customers is essentially an 'Ethernet Anywhere' service delivered over a combination of the TelstraClear fixed line network, networks leased from Chorus HSNS, Araneo Wireless and Network Tasman Fibre. The service provided interconnection into Australia via either Telstra GWAN or TelstraClear operated TransTasman lines.

Mobile
TelstraClear provided mobile data service through Vodafone, on their 3G GSM network since early 2010.

 * In July 2006, TelstraClear announced they would build their own UMTS network in Tauranga, expanding to other locations. They would roam to other networks when outside these areas. This did not eventuate, and created acrimony with Vodafone NZ.
 * Until 2007, TelstraClear sold a mobile service on Vodafone's GSM & UMTS network. Billing was from Telstra, but the customers ultimately belonged to Vodafone.
 * In 2007, TelstraClear signed a wholesale mobile deal to access the Telecom New Zealand CDMA network, and began offering new services to small and medium size enterprises. In 2008, they started to offer non-business service using Telecom's network. In 2009 they were negotiating to use Telecom's new XT (UMTS) network but Telecom would not allow access until 2011.
 * Customers using CDMA handsets on the Telecom network will continue to operate until at least 2012. Mobile Number Portability will allow existing customers (or customers from other carriers) to move to TelstraClear (on Vodafone) with the appropriate handset, and keep their existing mobile number.
 * TelstraClear sold services on the Telecom NZ network until late 2009 with mobile data service via the Telecom NZ network. It used CDMA2000 technology.
 * In July 2009, TelstraClear announced they would begin using Vodafone's network again, and this agreement came into place in 2010.

Fixed line technologies
ADSL TelstraClear owned two ISPs, Paradise.net and Clearnet, with Clearnet becoming the umbrella brand. Both offered nationwide dialup and DSL service, resold over Telecom's DSL lines and also over unbundled exchanges. A number of their dial-up IP numbers were blacklisted as abusers by sites such as DSBL.

VDSL2 Only available to business customers in the 'on-net' areas, this technology was used to deliver the product BizBroadband and BizNet, as well as the IP Voice products (IP FeatureLine, IP Connect, IP Gateway, IP Clarity).

DOCSIS (cable) TelstraClear also offered DOCSIS cable modem internet access within TelstraClear's own (built) network. TelstraClear offered standard speeds of up to 15 Mbit/s, and TelstraClear have also released 100 Mbit/s plans with 10 Mbit/s upload.

Since late 2009, new connections were only available on Clearnet.

IT and security
With the acquisition of Sytec and the formation of Enterprise and Government division, TelstraClear provided managed network solutions, ICT services (such as desktop and device management and co-location), enterprise comms and contact center solutions. In addition under the DMZGlobal brand TelstraClear provided Internet security, managed security, and security consulting services.

Television
TelstraClear operated the Hybrid Fibre Cable pay television network under the brand "InHomeTV". It was developed by Saturn Communications in Wellington, Kāpiti and Christchurch, prior to the sale to Telstra, and formerly known as Saturn TV. The network infrastructure includes twisted pair cabling used for residential and business local telephone service.

Programming is sourced from SKY Network Television following an agreement in 2002 and also locally received and sourced channels. The agreement allowed TelstraClear to distribute and bill for services provided by SKY Network Television on its own InHome digital TV network.

In September 2010, TelstraClear released their own PVR called the T-BOX. The launch followed the release by parent company Telstra (AU) of a similar product.

As of June 2011 TelstraClear ceased all analogue transmission on its cable network.

In May 2012 TelstraClear started sourcing its own Pay Per View movies and changes its branding to InHome Movies.

InHomeTV was available on TelstraClear's HFC Cable network in Wellington, Christchurch and Kapiti. The service was only available if bundled with TelstraClear's telephony service or internet products.

Interactive Services

 * Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) – television listing information.
 * Pay Per View (PPV) Guide – Inhome Movies listing information.

Defunct Channels

 * TechTV was available up until May 2004, when current owner Comcast halted international broadcasts.
 * Chilli (an adult channel) was also available until 2006 when CEO Alan Freeth discontinued the product on moral grounds.
 * Wild TV
 * Visitor TV (This has been closed down after the Christchurch 22 February earthquake.)
 * TBN has also ceased due to their financial limitations

Phonecards
TelstraClear issued remote memory phonecards. The cards started in March 2002 after Net Tel was taken over TelstraClear. The TalkPlus card, issued by Clear Communications since 1998 had similar cards issued under the TelstraClear branding. The cards include Talk Talk, E-Phone, Pacific Talk, TalkPlus Global and Cheap Chat. In 2003, the Holiday Parks Association phonecard introduced as a E-Phone card. Later the card changed to a TalkPlus Global card. In 2010, TelstraClear introduced the Prepaid Max card, which is only available online. In 2014 Vodafone issued the SuperGold phonecard.

Bluespring Caverns

Bluespring Caverns is a cave system located in Lawrence County, Indiana, approximately 80 miles (128 km) south of Indianapolis. The cave system is a karst and river type cave formation and drains a 15 miles² (38.8 km²) sinkhole plain. The cave contains 21 mi of surveyed passages and is most notable for having the longest known subterranean river in the United States with approximately 3 mi of navigable river.

Discovery
The cave system was discovered as early as the 19th century. Up until 1913, the entrance used was the exodus of a spring which drained into the White River. However, a dam completed in 1913 on the White River closed off this entrance. In 1940, a second entrance was created after a severe storm passed through the area. A small pond on the farm of George Colglazier vanished overnight, becoming a sinkhole, and the present day entrance into the cave system. The undeveloped cave soon had Colgazier's children wanting to learn more about the newest adventure spot on the family's 100 acre farm. Although his daughters Uzahne and Janet were not frequent visitors to the cave; his sons, Norman, James, Lee and Daniel were fascinated by the cave. Soon word of the largest opening of Bluespring Caverns spread and the Colglazier family welcomed visitors from around the world as others descended on the small farm to explore the caverns. George Colglazier and his wife, Eva, lived on their family farm and welcomed visitors to the caverns until the death of George Colglazier in the early 1980s. Neither Colglazier nor his wife ever profited from Bluespring Caverns. They made their living as hard-working dairy farmers. They freely allowed cave explorers on their property and asked them to obey one rule, "not to destroy or remove from the caverns".

Geology and temperature
The cave was formed in two types of limestone, separated by a thin layer of shale. The two types of limestone are:

 * Indiana Limestone
 * St. Louis Limestone

The cave remains a constant 54 °F (14 °C) temperature throughout the year.

Wildlife
The cave is host to a number of species, including crayfish, salamanders, crickets, spiders, and beetles. Most notable among these is the rare sightless Northern Cavefish, which is abundant in this cave system. A small number of bats make this cave their home, especially during winter. However, the frequent flooding of this cave system discourages bat habitation year-round.

Visitation
Visitation to the cave is controlled by Bluespring Caverns Park, a commercial corporation. The featured activity is an hour-long boat ride on the subterranean river in a 17-person boat equipped with lighting. This ride is offered seasonally in the months of April through October. The park also offers overnight adventures for organized youth groups from October through April.

Bluespring Caverns are one of five show caves in Indiana. The other four are Marengo Cave, Wyandotte Caves, Indiana Caverns and Squire Boone Caverns. Twin caves, located in Spring Mill State Park, about 15 minutes south of Bluespring Caverns, near Mitchell, Indiana offers a 20-minute boat tour into the cave which goes back about 600 ft. Twin Caves is owned and operated by the state of Indiana and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Facts

 * The cave is the 29th longest in the United States.
 * The cave is the 109th longest in the world.
 * The cave is the 3rd-longest cave in the state of Indiana.

4th person to reach 1000 appearances on television
"He became the 4th television personality to reach 1000 career appearances on the television, joining Terry Wogan, Mr Blobby and Richard Hammond which he said was the greatest moment in his career along with watching people win big on Deal or No Deal. "

I have difficulty believing this. What about all the newsreaders of the 50 and 60s who were on our screens every night?

How can Hammond possibly have made more appearances than Richard Baker?

 * Whilst this is true it was known much earlier than this - at the time when the show was still running. The satellite magazine WotSat mentioned a number of times that the live satellite feeds for this could be viewed and showed the whole process. : I had personally seen this several times back then. Was once via Orion 37.5 west satellite in PAL, encoded in sound-in-synce (SIS format). You'd see the crew prep the people on the sofa. They conducted trial runs in being shocked and surprised. And the cables ran across the floor in front of their feet. For the most part they just sat around bored waiting for the moment. --Revolt (talk) 10:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

 * This is largely aprocryphal stuff. 90% of NTV sequences were well-planned, technically skilled events where the 'victims' were completely unaware of the hidden cameras. In the cases where the camera had been spotted or the situation had gone wrong in some way, it was then faked for the purposes of entertainment. It was not a 100% fake, and as such the articles should be revised to reflect that. Hardylane (talk) 16:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker

Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker is a mini album and third studio album by English rock band the Coral, released on 26 January 2004 by Deltasonic. The Coral began writing the record less than a month after releasing their second studio album, Magic and Medicine (2003). Recording for the album took place over 12 days at Bryn Derwen Studios in Wales with producer Ian Broudie, frontman for the Lightning Seeds; the Coral served as co-producers. Described as a lo-fi neo-psychedelia release, Nightfreak is a concept album about German tennis player Boris Becker.

Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker received generally favourable reviews from music critics, with particular compliments for the songwriting. Comparisons have been made to the work of Captain Beefheart and to the Mwng (2000) era of Super Furry Animals. Commercially, the album reached number four on the Scottish Albums Charts and number five on the UK Albums Chart, while also charting in France, Ireland, and Japan. The album received little promotion and no single releases, as the Coral viewed it as a stop-gap release between Magic and Medicine and their next full-length studio album. Only 75,000 copies of Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker were initially released in the UK.

Background and recording
The Coral released their eponymous debut studio album in July 2002. They quickly followed this with their second effort, Magic and Medicine, in July 2003. Both albums were certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). A month after releasing Magic and Medicine, the Coral had begun writing material for a follow-up release.

Recording for Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker took place in September 2003. Sessions were held at Bryn Derwen Studios in Wales, with Ian Broudie of the Lightning Seeds serving as the main producer, and Jon Gray serving as the engineer. Frontman James Skelly referred to Nightfreak as "quite a spontaneous record", having been made over the course of 12 days, with many of the vocal and guitar parts finished in a single take. Some of the tracks were written on the day that they were recorded. Gary Butler mastered the album at RTS Onestop in Prescot, Merseyside.

Composition and lyrics
Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker has been classified as a lo-fi neo-psychedelia album, with comparisons to the work of Captain Beefheart and to the album Mwng (2000) by Super Furry Animals. Guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones described the work as a concept album about German tennis player Boris Becker. In reference to the title, Skelly said that the band were the "illegitimate sons" of Becker, "travelling round [sic] the world to get money off him. We're coming back to get the pay-off that we deserve!" Writing credits were split among different members of the Coral.

The album opens with "Precious Eyes", a track reminiscent of Supergrass and the Bees, with 1960s-styled vocal harmonies in the chorus. It is followed by the dance song "Venom Cable", with a funk guitar line and an organ heard during the middle eight. The beginning of "I Forgot My Name" channels songs by the Animals and Them, before shifting in a section similar to the Mothers of Invention. "Song of the Corn" is a folk song, with a changing time signature in the vein of the Beta Band. "Sorrow or the Song", a ballad that transitions from singing to a melody-less mumbling, is followed by "Auntie's Operation", a Kinks-indebted number with cowbell and slide guitar. "Why Does the Sun Come Up?" acts as an interlude, consisting of snippets that the band recorded from cable television while they were on tour in the US. "Grey Harpoon" is a G-funk song with influences of Snoop Dogg, and is followed by the post-punk track "Keep Me Company". The album closes with "Lover's Paradise", a homage to music hall that has drawn comparisons to the Beatles.

Release
The Coral announced Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker on 12 November 2003, with an intended release in early 2004. That same month, the band embarked on a UK tour that lasted into December. Two performances had to be canceled when Skelly lost his voice. Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker was released in the UK on 26 January 2004, via Deltasonic. A limited release, only 75,000 copies were pressed.

Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker is a mini album, intended by the band to serve as a stop-gap release before their next studio album. As a result, no singles were released, and the album received minimal promotion. Ryder-Jones told reporters that the band did not want audiences to view Nightfreak as "a big third album [...] It's like a mini-album that we just sort of rushed into, and it [...] looks smaller, doesn't it? It looks like less of a deal." On 10 February 2004, the album was released in the US as a two-CD package alongside Magic and Medicine. The record label Music on CD later reissued the album in 2016.

Reception
Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker was met with generally favourable from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 62, based on 12 reviews.

AllMusic reviewer Tim DiGravina praised the quality of the album when contrasted with its short recording process. He wrote that the album was "another eclectic and accomplished patchwork of tantalizing neo-psychedelia" from the band, who crafted "11 songs [that] are mostly potent and exhilarating" rather than demo-sounding "throwaways". He additionally praised the "mixing of old and new" influences through the songs, which made the album "such a compelling listen". In a review for Entertainment Weekly, Greg Kot said the album "restores the rough edges" of the Coral that had dissipated on Magic and Medicine, "but with slighter songs". The Guardian critic Alexis Petridis wrote that "[t]he tunes that powered their biggest hits are noticeable by their absence". With a deeper listen, he wrote that much of the album "appears less like an exercise in deliberately alienating the Coral's audience than a counterpoint to their second album", where "no idea has been rejected as too obtuse for release".

Ruth Jamieson of The Observer called the album a "light hearted lo-fi bundle of joy", full of "chirpy riffs, chugging bass, and vaguely psychedelic warblings". NME Paul Moody saw the album as "a low-key classic from a group grappling with the demands of fame" as they "reject the commercial gloss which made 'Magic And Medicine' [popular ...] and return to the darker grog of their debut". musicOMH contributor John Murphy noted that, while the album did not contain "anything here to stand alongside 'Dreaming Of You' or 'Pass It On, there were enough "psychedelic-tinged jams to keep Coral fans happy". He pondered if "we shouldn't expect too much of Nightfreaks" given its status of a stop-gap release. A guest writer of Tiny Mix Tapes wrote that the band "tend to refer to many musical styles" across their albums, which was an "approach [that] works again on this record". They added that it "boils with energy, excitement, and a passion to experiment", though a song such as "Keep Me Company" "may not be in line with the overall tone of the album".

Adam Corrigan of Bangor Daily News said that Nightfreak was "much less accessible" than its predecessor, Magic and Medicine, and that it was "either an energetic outburst of creativity or an attempt to upset the legions drawn to their more crafted work". Toledo Blade Richard Paton wrote that the mini-LP's runtime was "long enough, because at times [it] sounds like a bad musical flashback". Billboard writer Susanne Ault referred to the album as "experimentation for experimentation's sake [...] wherein special effects drown out too many of the harmonies". Pitchfork contributor Neil Robertson called Nightfreak "a flatulent, irrelevant, self-indulgent attempt at recapturing the hotwired spontaneity of their debut through a dirge of sub-par psychedelia and try-hard freakouts". The staff at Uncut were equally critical, saying that, "generally the sense is still of a bunch of tasteful influences [...] and some well chosen chords failing to coalesce into something with real emotional weight".

Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker peaked at number four on the Scottish Albums Charts, and at number five on the UK Albums Chart. Elsewhere, the album reached number 35 in Ireland, number 59 in France, and number 68 in Japan.
