Héctor Garza

Héctor Solano Segura (June 12, 1969 – May 26, 2013) was a Mexican professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Héctor Garza. During his career he worked for various major Mexican professional wrestling promotions such as Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Perros del Mal Producciones and, at the time of death, AAA. Garza also worked for several major promotions such as World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in the United States.

Solano was a second-generation wrestler, son of Humberto Garza. His own son, known as El Sultán, also became a professional wrestler after Garza's death. The extended Garza family includes Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo (formerly known as Último Ninja). In 2017 Garza Jr. adopted a ring persona similar to that of Solano, paying homage to his uncle's rudo ("bad guy") persona and wrestling style.

At the time of his death, Garza was in the middle of his second reign with the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship. He had also won the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, the CMLL World Tag Team Championship three times, the CMLL World Trios Championship five times in CMLL and the IWC World Heavyweight Championship, the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship and the Mexican National Tag Team Championship. He was posthumously inducted in the AAA Hall of Fame.

Professional wrestling career
After being trained by his uncle Mario Segura, and Mr. Lince and Blue Fish, Solano made his professional wrestling debut in 1992, using the ring name "Héctor Garza", after his father who worked as Humberto Garza. He initially wrestled for Federacion Internacional de Lucha Libre (FILL; "International Wrestling Federation" in Spanish) promotion in Monterrey, Nuevo León. As Garza, his first prominent storyline feud played out in 1993 as he was paired with El Sanguinario ("The Bloodthirsty One"), who portrayed a ruthless rudo (a "heel character", those that portray the "bad guys" in wrestling), juxtaposed with the young, fan-friendly técnico (or "face character", those who portray the "good guys"). On June 6, 1993, Garza won his first Lucha de Apuestas, or "Bet match", when he defeated El Sanguinario to force El Sanguinario to be shaved bald as a result. Two months later, Garza defeated Sanguinario once more, this time to win the FILL Light Heavyweight Championship.

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (1994–1996)
After his local success in Monterrey, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) hired him to work nationally instead, joining the world's oldest professional wrestling promotion as part of CMLL's rebuilding after a split that led to the creation of Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). He was put over veteran rudos like Bestia Salvaje and Satánico in hair matches and Garza quickly became one of the top técnicos in the company. In the following year, he teamed with Dos Caras and La Fiera to win the CMLL World Trios Championship, and lost to Emilio Charles Jr. in the final of the La Copa Junior, a tournament for second-generation wrestlers.

AAA / World Wrestling Federation (1996–1997)
When Garza joined AAA, he was also able to work for the US-based World Wrestling Federation (WWF) through AAA's working agreement. His first televised WWF appearance saw him defeat T.L. Hopper on an episode of Superstars. At the 1997 Royal Rumble pay-per-view show Garza teamed up with El Canek and Perro Aguayo to defeat Fuerza Guerrera, Heavy Metal and Jerry Estrada. He worked several more matches for the WWF, with his last appearance for the company taking place on March 10, 1997, where he, Latin Lover and Octagón lost to Pentagón, Heavy Metal and Pierroth on the 200th episode of Monday Night Raw.

In AAA he often worked as part of a trio known as La Maquina del Amor ("The Love Machine") alongside Heavy Metal and Latin Lover, a group of young, good looking, fan favorites that were very popular with the female fans. All three members of La Maquina del Amor qualified for the 1997 Rey de Reyes tournament along with Octagón, which Latin Lover won. Later that year Garza teamed up with Super Nova for the "Young Stars" tag team tournament. In the first round the duo defeated May Flowers and Pentagón, but lost to Fuerza Guerra and Mosco de la Merced in the semi-finals.

Cruiserweight division (1997–1998)
The AAA/WWF collaboration ended in mid-1997, which led to many AAA workers wrestling for WWF's rival, World Championship Wrestling (WCW), later in the year. Garza made his WCW debut on May 20 by defeating Psychosis at a live event. He made his televised debut in WCW on the May 26 episode of Monday Nitro by teaming with Juventud Guerrera and Super Calo to defeat Ciclope, Damien and La Parka in a six-man tag team match. His first televised singles match in WCW took place on the June 7 episode of Saturday Night against Billy Kidman, which Garza won. The young Garza would become known in WCW for his twirling turnbuckle to floor plancha called the "corkscrew plancha". On the June 30 episode of Nitro, Garza received his first title shot in WCW as he unsuccessfully challenged Lord Steven Regal for the World Television Championship. The following month, he made his first pay-per-view appearance in WCW at Bash at the Beach, where he teamed with Juventud Guerrera and Lizmark Jr. to defeat La Parka, Psychosis and Villano IV.

On the September 22 episode of Nitro, Garza enjoyed the biggest moment of his WCW career by scoring an upset victory over Scott Hall. The victory was played off as a "fluke" and Hall defeated Garza two weeks later on Nitro in just over a minute as a follow-up to the storyline. Garza competed in the World War 3 battle royal at the namesake event for a future WCW World Heavyweight Championship opportunity but failed to win the match. Garza continued to team with and compete against various luchadors in tag team matches and singles competition while alternating between WCW and Mexico. He took a hiatus from WCW in early 1998 and competed in his native Mexico throughout the year. He returned to WCW on the September 7 episode of Nitro by unsuccessfully challenging Juventud Guerrera for the Cruiserweight Championship.

Latino World Order (1998–1999)
On the October 5 episode of Nitro, Eddie Guerrero interrupted a match between Garza and Damien and prevented luchadors from fighting each other and instead urging them to unite which resulted in the formation of Guerrero's new faction Latino World Order (lWo), consisting of the underutilized Mexican wrestlers on the WCW, with Garza joining in as one of the pioneer members of the group. The group began feuding with Rey Misterio Jr. as he refused to join the lWo. The following month, at World War 3, Garza participated in the namesake battle royal for a future World Heavyweight Championship opportunity but failed to win. LWO prematurely disbanded in 1999 after Guerrero was injured in a car accident and the New World Order attacked various LWO members and threatened them to disband with the President Ric Flair urging them to disband the group and fight on WCW side with the promise of a better treatment than Eric Bischoff.

Following the dissolution of LWO, Garza resumed competing in WCW's lower mid-card, competing mostly against fellow luchadors while also serving as an enhancement talent to upper mid-card wrestlers. Garza's final televised match in WCW took place on the February 18 episode of Thunder, where he teamed with Silver King against Konnan and Rey Misterio, Jr. in a losing effort. Garza's last match for WCW took place at a live event on October 1, where he teamed with King to defeat Los Villanos (Villano IV and Villano V). Garza was released from his WCW contract in November 1999 as part of mass releases including twenty-one other wrestlers due to budget cuts.

AAA (1999–2004)
In late 1999, Garza returned to AAA where he became involved in a long-running storyline feud with Heavy Metal, Latin Lover and Perro Aguayo Jr. that would span several years. On December 26, 1999, Héctor Garza defeated Pirata Morgan to win the IWC World Heavyweight Championship, his first championship reign in AAA. 98 days later, Garza lost the championship back to Pirata Morgan. Two months later Garza defeated Sangre Chicana to win the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship on a show in his home town of Monterrey.

As part of their ongoing storyline, Garza and Aguayo Jr. teamed up to defeat Los Vipers (Abismo Negro and Electroshock) to win the Mexican National Tag Team Championship, starting a 61-day reign. Their reign was ended by El Texano and Pirata Morgan on September 8, 2000. The four-way feud led to a Lucha de Apuetas match between Garza and Heavy Metal as part of AAA's 2001 Guerra de Titanes PPV. The match saw Garza pin Heavy Metal in the third and deciding fall, forcing Heavy Metal to have all of his hair shaved off.

After the 2001 Guerra de Titanes the feud shifted to focusing on Garza and Latin Lover instead. On May 5, 2002, Garza defeated Latin Lover to win the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship as part of the escalating tension between the two. On November 15, 2002, at that year's Guerra de Titanes show, Garza, Latin Lover, Perro Aguayo Jr. and Mr. Águila faced off in a steel cage match. Latin Lover defeated Garza, causing him to have his hair shaved off for the first time in his career. On May 5, 2003, he lost the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship to E; Zorro, exactly one year after winning it. On October 26, 2003, Garza lost another Lucha de Apuestas match to Latin Lover, which turned out to be his last major storyline in AAA.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2004)
In 2004, he returned to the United States for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling during AAA's working agreement with the company. Along with Abismo Negro, Juventud Guerrera, Mr. Águila and later Heavy Metal, "Team Mexico" was successful in winning the America's X-Cup. After Team Canada was repackaged, Team Mexico became faces. In June, he returned to CMLL.

While the AAA-TNA deal was still in effect, Garza wrestled exclusively in Mexico. In CMLL, he helped Perro Aguayo Jr. adopt a "heel" character, becoming one of the "bad guys" in wrestling, and became involved in Aguayo's storyline feud with El Hijo del Santo. Eventually, he would help found La Furia del Norte with El Terrible and Tarzan Boy. Teaming with Tarzan and Terrible, La Furia chased after and defeated the CMLL Tríos champions Black Warrior, El Canek and Rayo de Jalisco Jr. Meanwhile, in the United States, the AAA-TNA deal was terminated, which led to TNA to bringing Garza back. He returned for TNA Victory Road 2004, TNA's first three-hour pay-per-view when he won a Twenty Man X-Division Gauntlet. The push continued with a match against NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett on TNA's weekly TV show.

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2005–2011)
After being deported for drug possession, he returned to working full-time in Mexico for CMLL. He teamed with Perro Aguayo Jr. against Los Capos and became a major part of the new group, Los Perros del Mal along with members of La Furia del Norte, Los Pierroths and La Familia de Tijuana. In August, Pierroth Jr. was ejected from the group and Garza volunteered to face him in a hair vs. hair match, which Garza won. After the Dr. Wagner Jr. vs. Atlantis mask vs. mask match fell through, CMLL decided to go with Héctor Garza and Perro Aguayo Jr. vs. Universo 2000 and Máscara Año 2000 double hair vs. hair match as the main event of the CMLL 72nd Anniversary Show. Three weeks before the show, Garza hit Máscara Año 2000 with a "Martinete" (tombstone piledriver). The match for the anniversary show was changed to a triangle match with Universo 2000 vs. Perro Aguayo Jr. vs. Héctor Garza where the last man to get pinned gets his hair shaved. In the end, Universo pinned Garza with help of a low blow from his brother, Cien Caras, and Pierroth's valet, La Nazi.

In 2008 Garza began teaming with El Hijo del Fantasma and La Máscara and the trio quickly won the vacant CMLL World Trios Championship when they defeated Blue Panther, Dos Caras Jr. and Místico in the finals of a tournament for the title. The team lost, then regained the trios title to the team of Atlantis, Último Guerrero and Negro Casas. In March 2010 signs of dissention amongst the team began showing as Garza left the ring during a trios match mistakenly thinking that one of his teammates had attacked him. Following this Garza kept insincerely insisting that he was still a tecnico and that his team was getting along great. Further doubts about Garza's allegiance arose when he teamed up with the Rúdo Pólvora for the 2010 Gran Alternativa tournament. The team defeated Sensei and La Máscara in the first round with Garza showing no problems in going after his teammate. They also defeated Rey Cometa and Blue Panther as well as Diamante and La Sombra to qualify for the finals. On the April 30, 2010 Super Viernes Garza and Pólvora won the 2010 Gran Alternativa when they defeated Delta and Volador Jr. When Garza, La Máscara and Hijo del Fantasma were booked for a CMLL World Trios defense the following week, Garza complained that his partners had agreed to the match without asking him, but swore that he would still be professional about it. During the title defense on the May 7, 2010 Super Viernes Garza attacked both Hijo del Fantasma and La Máscara, allowing La Ola Amarillo (Hiroshi Tanahashi, Okumura and Taichi) to win the CMLL World Trios Championship, turning full blown Rudo in the process.

Los Invasores (2010)
During a trios match with the Los Invasores team of El Alebrije, Histeria and Maniaco going against Garza, Brazo de Plata and Toscano, Garza turned on his teammates and joined Los Invasores. CMLL held a press conference on May 20, 2010, announcing that they would hold a special Sin Salida event on June 6, 2010, that would center around the Los Invasores vs. CMLL storyline. During the press conference Olímpico was part of the Invasores group. It was also announced that Garza and Mr. Águila were the co-leaders of Los Invasores. At the July 16, 2010 Super Viernes Héctor Garza and Mr. Águila defeated the team of La Sombra and Volador Jr. to win the CMLL World Tag Team Championship, Garza's third reign and Mr. Águila's first reign. On November 2, 2010, Garza and Águila lost the CMLL World Tag Team Championship to Dragón Rojo Jr. and Último Guerrero.

World Heavyweight Champion (2011)
On January 4, 2011, Garza made his debut for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) at Wrestle Kingdom V in Tokyo Dome, where he and Jushin Thunder Liger were defeated by Máscara Dorada and La Sombra in a tag team match. Garza returned for a tour of New Japan on July 8, 2011. His tour of the promotion concluded on July 18, when he was defeated by CMLL World Middleweight Champion, Jushin Thunder Liger in a non-title match. Upon Garza's return to CMLL, he turned technico and left Los Invasores. On August 12, Garza defeated Último Guerrero to win the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship for the first time.

Perros del Mal Producciones (2011–2012)
On November 11, 2011, Garza held a press conference, announcing that he had left CMLL and joined Perro Aguyao Jr.'s Perros del Mal Producciones as a member of the Perros del Mal stable. Before leaving CMLL, Garza handed the World Heavyweight Championship belt back to the promotion. Behind the scenes, Garza had offered to lose the title to El Terrible prior to leaving the promotion, but CMLL refused to allow him to wrestle another match. Garza made his debut for the promotion on November 13, when he ran in to save Perro Aguayo Jr., Damián 666, Halloween and X-Fly from Los Psycho Circus, Nosawa and Zumbi. The following day, Garza returned to AAA, when he, along with members of Los Perros del Mal, attacked El Mesías and Jack Evans, after they had defeated Aguayo and Chessman in a match. On December 16 at Guerra de Titanes, Garza, Aguayo and Halloween defeated Evans, Fénix and Drago in a six-man tag team match. On February 14, 2012, Garza defeated champion X-Fly, El Hijo del Perro Aguayo, El Mesías, El Texano Jr. and Toscano in a six-way elimination match at a Perros del Mal Producciones event to win the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship for the second time. On August 5 at Triplemanía XX, Garza's accidental chair shot to El Hijo del Perro Aguayo cost the Perros del Mal leader his match for the AAA Mega Championship. On August 10, Los Perros del Mal turned on Garza and kicked him out of the stable.

Personal life
Héctor Solano Segura was born on June 12, 1969, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, son of professional wrestler Humberto Garza. His brother works as a professional wrestler and promoter under the ring name "Humberto Garza Jr." and his son, originally known as "Último Ninja" in Mexico and "Humberto Carrillo" in NXT, is a professional wrestler, using the name El Sultán. His uncle is Mike Segura, better known under the ring name "El Ninja". Solano's cousin is known as "El Ninja Jr.", and his nephew, Humberto Garza Solano, works under the ring name Angel Garza.

In 2005, Solano was set to wrestle Scott Hall at TNA's Final Resolution 2005 but was arrested in Houston, Texas, for possession of steroids. The police found Deca-Durabolin and Primobolan, both of which are legal to have and use in Mexico, but not in the United States, and Solano claimed that he had legal prescriptions for them but could not produce them at the time of his arrest. Solano was deported back to Mexico and barred from entry for a number of years, effectively ending his career in the United States. Garza claimed that he did not know the steroids were illegal in the United States and that he was humiliated by the guards.

Illness and death
On October 15, 2012, a press release revealed that Solano had been diagnosed with lung cancer. He retired from active competition to undergo chemotherapy and additional treatment. He died on May 26, 2013, from the cancer at the age of 43. He was the reigning Mexican National Heavyweight Champion at the time of his death. As a result of his death, the "Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F." (the Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission) deemed the Mexican National Heavyweight Championship inactive.

Legacy
On August 9, 2015, at Triplemanía XXIII, Garza was inducted into the AAA Hall of Fame. When his nephew Humberto Garza Solano began working for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, he changed his ring name from "El Hijo del Ninja" to "Garza Jr." in honor of his uncle, adopting both the look and some of the mannerisms and wrestling moves that his uncle had become known for.

Gerda Wegener

Gerda Marie Fredrikke Wegener ( Gottlieb; 15 March 1886 – 28 July 1940) was a Danish illustrator and painter. Wegener is known for her fashion illustrations and later her paintings that pushed the boundaries of her time concerning gender and love. These works were classified as lesbian erotica at times and many were inspired by her partner, transgender painter Lili Elbe. Wegener employed these works in the styles of Art Nouveau and later Art Deco.

Early life
Gottlieb was born in Hammelev, Denmark to Justine (née Østerberg) and Emil Gottlieb, a vicar in the Lutheran church. Her father had Huguenot ancestry and her family was conservative. She had three siblings but was the only child to live to adulthood. She enjoyed art at a young age and began training. Her family moved to Hobro and later she moved to Copenhagen to pursue her education at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

Styles and influences
Wegener's work was often of confident and elegant women performing a variety of activities in either a Renaissance inspired style, Art Nouveau or Art Deco style. The images tended to show women posing or participating in artistic endeavors such as theatre, literature, and dance. Later on in France, Wegener created work showing women displaying seductive power or engaging in sexual activities. This risqué art was considered "lesbian erotica" and published in illicit art books.

Along with shifting how women are represented in art, Wegener also challenged gender and sex identity roles in her work. She did this in small ways, such as drawing men with slender bodies and soft lines, or by painting her transgender partner, Lili Elbe.

Early career
Gottlieb's work was shown in the Charlottenborg Art Gallery in 1904, but she gained little attention for her artwork. Her career as an artist began to mobilize after graduating from the Academy in 1907 and 1908 when she made appearances in the Politiken newspaper. She then was the center of a controversy called the Peasant Painter Dispute after one of her 1906 works, Portrait of Ellen von Kohl, was rejected from the exhibitions of Den frie Udstilling and Charlottenborg due to the style of the piece. This piece caused concerns of Italian Renaissance plagiarism and split opinions of it showing a weak individual or an elegant beautiful woman. Gottlieb never became involved in the debate. The portrait was displayed by the Winkel and Magnussen's art dealership and received attention that boosted her career as an artist.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Wegener won two sketching competitions in the Politiken newspaper. One was in 1908 and another in 1909 for best capturing "Copenhangen Women" and then "The figures of the Street." Wegener was known for her illustrations created for advertisements and was also a portrait painter. She did art in Paris, but was less successful in Denmark, where people found her work very different and strange as it often portrayed her husband as a woman.

Paris, France
In 1912, Wegener and her partner, Lili Elbe, moved to Paris, France. In Paris, Wegener began to push the boundaries in her artwork by creating more provocative paintings of women engaged in sexual activities and seductive positions. She often painted herself with Lili Elbe or Lili alone either portrayed as a man or a woman. Her work gained her attention and she was able to throw parties and experience notorious fame. Along with this, her work in the fashion industry took off as she illustrated for magazines such as Fantasio, Vogue, and La Vie Parisienne. Her illustrations were used in a wide range of platforms from beauty advertisements to political anti-German images in the Le Matin and the La Baïonnette during World War II. In 1925, she won two gold medals and a bronze one for her artwork in competition at the 1925 World's Fair in Paris. She was exhibited in the Salon des Humoristes, the Salon des Indépendants, and the Salon d’Automne. She befriended Ulla Poulsen (1905–2001), a Danish ballerina, who became a frequent model for her paintings. She and her spouse were also close friends with artist Rudolph Tegner and his wife Elna.

Lili Elbe

She met fellow artist Lili Elbe – then known as Einar Wegener – at art school. They married in 1904, when Gerda was 18 and Lili was 22. They travelled through Italy and France, eventually settling in Paris in 1912. The couple immersed themselves in the Bohemian lifestyle of the time, befriending many artists, dancers and other figures from the artistic world, often attending carnivals and other public festivals.

During this time Elbe began to wear female clothing, and adopted her female name and persona, becoming Gerda Wegener's favourite model, in paintings of beautiful women with haunting almond-shaped eyes dressed in chic fashions. In 1913, the art world was shocked when they learned that the model who had inspired her depictions of petite femmes fatales was in fact her "husband".

As Elbe adopted her female identity, Gerda Wegener commonly introduced her as Einar Wegener's cousin when she was dressed in female attire. In 1930 Elbe underwent one of the first sex reassignment surgeries. As Danish law at the time did not recognize marriage between two women, their marriage was annulled in October 1930 by King Christian X. Elbe died in 1931 from complications of the surgery.

Later life and death
In 1931, Wegener married Italian officer, aviator, and diplomat Major Fernando Porta and moved with him to Morocco. She divorced him in 1936 and returned to Denmark in 1938 for unknown reasons. Wegener held her last exhibition in 1939, but by this time, her artwork was out of style as the simpler Functionalism had become more popular in the 1930s. She had no children, lived by herself in relative obscurity, and began to drink heavily. She faced financial instability and kept an income by selling hand-painted postcards.

She died on 28 July 1940, in Frederiksberg, Denmark, shortly after Nazi Germany invaded the country. Her small estate was auctioned, and there was only a small obituary printed in the local paper.

Book and film
Over the years, beginning with the literary success of a book about her and Elbe's life together, and further with the release of a movie based on the book, the story of the couple gained a cult following in Denmark and around the world. Their artwork has been rediscovered, and exhibited and auctioned with success. A special exhibition of Gerda Wegener's work was on display at the Arken Museum of Modern Art until January 2017, followed by a travelling exhibit of her art shown around the world.

The Danish Girl, David Ebershoff's 2000 novel about them was an international best-seller and was translated into a dozen languages. Gerda Wegener is portrayed by Swedish actress Alicia Vikander in the 2015 film The Danish Girl, also starring British actor Eddie Redmayne as Lili Elbe. The film received some criticism for obscuring the actual story of a historical trans person and omitting certain facts and for being based on a fictional book that does not tell the true story of the couple. The topic of Gerda Wegener's own sexuality, which she never talked about publicly, is not mentioned in the film or book.

Iu Mien Americans

Iu Mien Americans (Meiv guoqc Mienh) are primarily former refugees of the Secret War in Laos and the Vietnam War. While some Iu Mien families were granted political asylum and the opportunity to resettle in the United States prior to 1980, the great majority of Iu Mien immigrants to the U.S. arrived following the Refugee Act of 1980. Between the late 1970s to the early 1990s, thousands of Mien immigrants resettled mainly on the West Coast of the U.S. Today, the Iu Mien American population is estimated to be at 50,000 - 70,000.

Classification
With regard to nationality, the Iu Mien are officially classified in China and most of Southeast Asia as a subgroup of the Yao nationality. In Vietnam, however, the term Yao is referred to as Dao. Further classification of the Yao nationality brings up three major groups: Pan Yao, Bunu Yao, and Pingdi Yao. The Pan Yao group is the largest in China and Southeast Asia, and it is this Pan Yao group that Iu Mien Americans belong.

The Yao nationality was officially recognized by the Chinese government in the 1950s. The newly established Chinese communist government embarked on a project of "ethnic classification" that aimed to formally acknowledge the diverse national groups within China. To accomplish this, government research teams were formed and tasked with studying common geographic regions, languages, cultural traditions, physical characteristics, and other defining factors. Upon completion of the project, the Yao or Yaozu people were officially recognized as one of the fifty-four nationalities in China (list of ethnic groups in China). In 1974, an additional nationality (Jino) was included, bringing the total number of recognized nationalities to fifty-five.

However, the Iu Mien, along with other subgroups classified as Yao, do not refer to themselves as "Yao." For the Iu Mien, they often refer to themselves as Iu Mien or Mien.

History
Although ancient Chinese records about the Yao (Mien) are inconsistent, they tend to converge around the idea that tribes residing in the northern Hunan province, near Dongting Lake and its "Five Streams," shared a common ancestry and cultural heritage. Southern China, before the Qin dynasty (221 BCE), encompassed territories beyond the Han Chinese heartland, which were inhabited by diverse tribal groups, some indigenous to the region and others not. Chinese states often categorized these tribal groups into designated geographical networks for administrative convenience.

The terms "Man" (barbarians), "Nanman" (southern barbarians), "Jing Man" (Chu barbarians), and "Yiren" (uplanders) are general classifications that encompassed various groups. Even variations of Yao, such as Moyao, Yaoren, and Manyao, were not limited to a particular ethnicity or tribal group. Nonetheless, it is widely acknowledged that some of the indigenous groups inhabiting the Dongting Lake region in ancient China are the forebears of the Yao people today.

According to certain Yao (Mien) texts and narratives, the Mien people were once inhabitants of a place known as "Qianjiadong," translated as "Thousand Family Grottos." The story goes that this stunning and tranquil valley could only be accessed via an unremarkable cave, which was also the only way in or out. The fabled homeland was reputedly encircled by cascading waterfalls and rivers, far removed from the outside world. Although some people question whether Qianjiadong ever existed, scholars in China have discovered evidence in Hunan province that may indicate its plausible location.

Around the 10th century, and possibly earlier, the Yao (Mien) tribes in the Hunan region initiated a migration towards Southern China. Some groups ventured into more southerly provinces such as Guangdong and Guangxi, while others headed southwest into Guizhou and Yunnan. Over the ensuing centuries, various Mien subgroups in China migrated into Southeast Asia, initially settling in Vietnam and later expanding into Laos and Thailand. As highland farmers coexisting with other hill tribes in northern Laos, the Mien became part of the French Indochinese administrative system. However, the French departed from Laos and Southeast Asia entirely in the 1950s, creating a vacuum that was filled by the United States.

The "Secret War" in Laos
The Vietnam War (1956-1975) and the Secret War in Laos (1962-1975) propelled the Mien people into the Cold War. With the support of the CIA, the Mien and other hill tribes, including the Hmong (Miao), were recruited to fight against communist forces in northern Laos and other locations. The Mien's military role primarily involved safeguarding villages and serving as intelligence agents for the United States in the border areas near China. However, they also participated in one of the battles at Longcheng alongside the Hmong in 1970.

In the early 1960s, many Iu Mien families in Laos became involved in the United States CIA missions during the "Secret War" in Laos. They provided intelligence, surveillance, and armed manpower to block weapon transfers along parts of the Ho Chi Minh trail. As a result of their involvement, three significant Iu Mien figures emerged: Colonel Chao Mai Saechao, Colonel Chao La Saechao, and Captain Vern Chien Saechao. When Colonel Chao Mai died in 1967, his younger brother, Chao La Saechao, was promoted to Colonel.

In 1975, when the American forces withdrew from Vietnam and Laos, the Lao People's Democratic Republic led by the Pathet Lao Communists was established, and many families who supported the CIA were forced to flee to Thailand to escape political persecution. Thus, as communist forces swept through Laos in that same year, a significant number of Mien people fled to Thailand, crossing the Mekong River. As refugees, they encountered considerable hardships without a place to call home for nearly ten years.

Resettlement
From the late 1970s to the early 1990s, with the assistance of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), thousands of Mien families were able to emigrate to Western countries. While some chose to settle in Europe and Canada, the majority of the Mien chose to relocate to the United States, particularly in the coastal regions of California, Oregon, and Washington.

As a people hailing from ancient and isolated farming societies, the initial generation of Iu Mien Americans encountered numerous challenges, such as language barriers and acculturation issues, as they settled into vibrant and modern cities. As younger generations assimilate into American culture, they are confronted with issues such as generational gaps, the erosion of their language and culture, a loss of identity, and more. To address these resettlement issues, community-based organizations have emerged among Iu Mien American communities in Washington, Oregon, and California, offering direct services to aid in the transition.

Since their resettlement in America, Mien Americans have maintained historical connections with their counterparts in China and Vietnam. Furthermore, there are still many Mien American relatives who reside in Laos and Thailand.

Population
Approximately 50,000 Iu Mien settled along the western coastal states of California, Oregon, and Washington. Approximately 10,000 or less have settled in other parts of the country: Alabama, Alaska, Texas, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, and other states. A decrpency, however, in Iu Mien American population numbers has to do with the fact that Mien has yet to be included in the United States Census. Consequently, the margin of error could be anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000.

There were approximately 50,000 Mien in the US as of 2012, with 15,000 of that number in Sacramento, and 13,000 in the East Bay.

The city of Sacramento, California(especially in the Oak Park neighborhood),North Highlands, along with Oakland, Richmond, San Jose, Merced, Visalia, Stockton, Fresno, Yuba City, Oroville, Gridley, and Redding, have all become homes to sizable populations of Iu Mien Americans. In Oregon, the majority of Iu Mien communities are located in Salem and the greater Portland area, while in Washington, most of the population can be found in King County in the greater Seattle area.

Furthermore, Iu Mien people have settled all across continents of the world. The world over, there are Iu Mien who settled in the United States, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Laos, Myanmar, New Zealand, Switzerland, Thailand, and Vietnam.

On July 7, 2007, Iu Mien Americans celebrated their 31st anniversary in Sacramento, California, and honored military service members, doctors, educators, scholars, leaders, and others with achievement awards. More recently, the Mien Festival held at Hiram Johnson High School in Sacramento on April 1, 2023, drew in thousands of participants.

Yao (Mien) Taoism
Daoism, as it is currently practiced by the Yao (Mien) people, traces its origins back to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). Emperor Huizong (1100-1126), a skilled calligrapher and practitioner of the Tianxin Zhengfa tradition, also known as the "True Rites of the Heart of Heaven," played a significant role in promoting the tradition and influencing the religious aspirations of the court. Unfortunately, the Northern Song fell to barbarian groups, and a Song prince had to flee south, eventually settling in Hangzhou in what is now Guangdong province in southeastern China.

In Hangzhou, the prince regrouped the remnants of the Northern Song and established the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1229). Additionally, the Southern Song authorized missionaries to propagate the Tianxin Zhengfa tradition among non-Sinitic ethnic groups in Southern China, teaching them the tradition's rituals and a simplified form of Daoism that revealed secrets for healing and exorcism. The Yao (Mien) were among the first Southern peoples to convert to Daoism and adopt the Chinese writing system. As the tradition was likely passed down by Daoist masters from southeastern China, Yao ritual texts are still read today in the Guangxi Cantonese dialect.

Marriage
The patrilineal clan system plays a central role in identifying Iu Mien culture. The twelve Iu Mien clan names operate in a manner parallel to the Hmong clan system. Within the practice, intermarriages among the clan are essential. However, for members with familial relations, especially when those relations are of the same ancestral spiritual lineage, intermarriage is barred. Individual families have sub-clans that play a critical role in religious and social functions. Sub-clans hold greater social importance than clans as they maintain a closer relationship with individual members.

Marriage holds significant importance in Iu Mien society, as it is a crucial social function. The culture has distinct practices surrounding marriages and sexuality, with elders assuming a crucial role in presiding over such events. They are highly respected and play a central role in invoking protective spirits for newborns. The elders discourage premarital sex and childbearing out of wedlock, and any child born under such circumstances requires the groom's family to pay an additional dowry.

Music
In ancient times, the Yao (Mien) communicated through singing and sharing folk tales, which served as a philosophical and educational tool for passing on profound stories from one generation to the next. Singing and reciting these stories during noble ritual offerings to ancestors, as well as burning incense "Tao / Dao," were ways of keeping the community rooted and promoting peaceful harmony during ceremonies. Similar to the Tibetan "Book of the Dead" and the Three Bardo Thodol, the "Book of Death" contains the names of ancestors from birth to death, and the family lineage that has been passed down through generations.

The new generation of Mien music is reflected in the mixture of Hip-hop, Pop, and R&B, and some of these songs are known for their articulate, powerful, and political nature. Nowadays, Mien people often compose their own songs, or they translate Thai and Lao songs into Mien.

Traditional dishes
The Mien have a variety of traditional, plain, mountain-enriched dishes that feature a variety of greens and meats. Among the authentic dishes are Mien pork sausages, which are seasoned with Mien herbs.

In addition to these dishes, the Mien have also been influenced by other cuisines, such as Tum Som (papaya salad), which is originally a Thai/Lao dish, and Larb, a Thai/Lao dish. Other dishes include Klang Phen, a rice flour dish served with spicy bean paste and sour broth, steamed or boiled pork, chicken, or beef with tofu, Ka-Soy, rice noodle and meat salads, fermented pickled mustard greens, and fermented Mien bean paste known as thop choi/thop zhay. Roasted or baked fish is wrapped in banana leaf (or foil in modern times) and banana-leaf wrapped roast/steam ground-pork, beef, or chicken are also popular. A traditional condiment used in Mien cuisine is the Mien pepper sauce.

Would love to get a source for this:

 * According to the KXTA sports program director, Hendrie would have ended up at the Air America affiliate in Los Angeles, KTLK, if they hadn't picked him up.

In the mean time, I've removed it because I couldn't find anything with Google. --Derek 18:11, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

RESPONSE: You have to subcribe to the site laradio.com. Inside they quote the XTRA sports program director saying that Hendrie would have got moved to the local LA Air America station, had his station not picked him up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.105.168.160 (talk) 00:52, 2005 September 17 (UTC)

Hendrie the other day was bashing Air America for low ratings and being intolerant, but he's like on 5 or 6 Air America affilates. Maybe the ratings suck cause of Phil?

Many of the characters now have recent events from shows, but on the show remain archetypes. For example, Ted Bell is best known for being a  businesman with a phobia of the physically and mentally challenged, as well as being an arrogant rich guy. His "Classy Ladies" segment, while funny as an "adult entertainment for the family" shouldn't be in the description. Nor should Lloyd Bonefide's affair with Mrs. Curuthers. Lloyd is always the guy who fought for his country in Korea. While trained for the US military, he never fought close-combat (he was a chief petty officer in the navy) but snaps mentally due to his experience, training, and some random event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jclinard (talk • contribs) 09:53, 2005 November 4 (UTC)

 * Do you know if Phil knows about this Wikipedia entry? I think he'd get a kick out of it too. --Derek 20:03, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, he know about it. He mentioned it on-air recently, but he's kinda clueless as to the Wiki concept.  His description of Wikipedia was that it was like an "Urban Encyclopedia".  Maybe he knows people can edit the pages, I dunno..  FranksValli 23:10, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Comb-Over Boy
On this article it says that comb-over boy killed himself because nobody took him seriously. I've heard a bit where comb-over boy killed himself but it was because he was ugly.

XM, not Sirius
Why does this information keep being altered? I'm going by the banner on Phil's site that says he's on XM channel 152. Is this outdated(I don't use satellite radio)? -- Derfy 13:51, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It's vandalism I think. There is big obvious vandalism and also minor vandalism, as this user appears to be doing.  Notice that they are using an ip address instead of creating an account, and their only contribution to Wikipedia is on this page.  Maybe vandalism is too harsh of a word, but it's unclear what their intentions are when they repeatedly revert the corrective edits.  I dunno, it's anyone's guess.... FranksValli 00:22, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'd say vandalism, probably Sirius vs. XM subscriber-based-vandalism. Everyone has a "team" mentality -- there's a lot of "I subscribe to XM, sirius sux!", and vice versa. I KNOW he's on XM 152 (replayed from previous day 4-7pm pacific), I am an XM subscriber and am listening to him right now. --Kvuo 00:48, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

By the way... When did Howard Stern mention Phil joining Sirius??? I listen to Howard every day and seem to have missed that. --Kvuo 20:30, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've never listened to Stern, but apparently Laradio.com substantiates this story - they have a headline called "Stern words for Phil Hendrie", with Stern highlighted in bold to show it's the broadcaster. However, you have to register.  Maybe you can get lucky with bugmenot.com username/passwords to take a look at the article.  FranksValli 06:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

RESPONSE: Howard Stern has mentioned on air on the Friday 9th show that he would want to hire Hendrie. Stern played audio of Hendrie defending him on the air, and bashing his own employer, Clear Channel. Stern is interested in hiring Hendrie for Sirius Satelite radio. Has Hendrie responded to Stern's offer?

Frank Valli, I wish you would leave my comments alone. I am not spreading misinformation. What I am reporting is accurate information. KFI was Hendrie's biggest station, look it up! Hendrie despite what he has said was basically fired from KFI to make room for conservative radio tlak show host John Zielger. E-mail the host John Ziegler at talktozig@aol.com, and ask him yourself about this. What I'm reporting is FACT. Don't take just Hendrie's word for it. Do some of your won research like I have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.105.168.160 (talk) 01:04, 2005 September 17 (UTC)

 * Ok, I'll leave your comments alone. I'm just trying to make this neutral point of view (but personally I agree with your statements).  Anyone else have any opinions about this?  I really am not sure about this, so I'll leave it alone. FranksValli 01:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

RESPONSE: Thank you Frank. And do not believe what that "Phil Hendrie" has said. He is spreading lies about me. I have never threatened his family, that is an outrageous statement. I demand a retraction. I have not been spreading misinformation about him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.105.168.160 (talk) 01:51, 2005 September 17 (UTC)

 * Well, there's no reason to doubt that's not Phil Hendrie. I'm not sure of what's going from what Phil mentioned, I'll leave this between you two..  But in regards to the "he was fired" - unless you can point to an official statement, I think that's a rather strong statement to make.  What's wrong with just leaving it as it was - as "he moved"?  Also, can you please sign your statements with four tildas (~), it makes it a bit more organized.  FranksValli 02:07, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Haha, I'm watching the webcast right now and Phil just mentioned his note on here. Kinda cool I guess.  FranksValli 04:34, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

What did Phil say when he mentioned his note? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.105.168.160 (talk) 03:31, 2005 September 18 (UTC)

 * I think this is whole situation is unbelievably strange. Personally, my own edits here have tried to mediate the matter and especially ensure facts are cited, which is why like you (below) I don't want to keep the "fired" bit in there. I don't understand the fascination in repeatedly inserting uncitable details of a supposed firing in though. --Derek 16:30, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

RESPONSE: The problem is that by saying "he moved" you make it sound like he decided to leave on his own. Hendrie has not been honest with his auidence. Frank, your only geting your information from Phil, so of course he's not gonna say he was forced out, he's gonna spin it his way. Would you willingly leave the highest rated talk station in America? I've had it confirmed that Hendrie was forced out by 2 sources, laradio.com and John Ziegler, the radio host who replaced him. He should just be honest with his audience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Person182 (talk • contribs) 06:23, 2005 September 17 (UTC)

 * As much as I like his show, I think it's obvious Hendrie was forced out of KFI. He is still hired by Premiere Radio Networks, so obviously he wasn't fired from his job.  Think of it as a company moving an employee from one building to the other.  In addition, this article should stick to official statements or things mentioned on his show.  It doesn't help that these "fired" edits were constantly edited by an anonymous IP (which made it look suspicious, but I see you've registered now).  Anyhow, this kind of dispute isn't new here on Wikipedia.  Maybe we can insert a note that says this: "(some unofficial sources claim that Hendrie was forcibly moved)" (and then cite these sources at the bottom of the page).  This is factual, since some sources apparently do say this.  It's important to distinguish this from simply saying "Hendrie was fired".  If Hendrie moved or was forcibly moved, he still moved, which is neutral point of view (NPOV), and Wikipedia policy.  FranksValli 20:44, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Today on Howard's show Howard mentioned PHil's name. Robin couldn't think of the name of the coach of the Lakers, she said Phil something, and Howard says Phil Hendrie. I think Phil would be great on Howard's channel. Howard has mentioned in the past that he likes Phil, and would be interested in hiring him. JackB24

Mentioned wikipedia? Also, Phil's IP?
Did Phil mention Wikipedia again on the air this week? Anyone know which day?

If he did, he's probably been here editing his page. I think this might be his IP: -, which resolves to -. Is Ventura the right place? I also think he mentioned he had Adephia? I don't know. (Sorry, I have too much free time...)

Anyhow, Phil, and anyone else who edits this page - if you're reading this, create an account and login. This page is vandalized so much that any anonymous user edits are immediately checked, and we might unknowingly revert valuable edits when trying to clean up some vandalism by another anonymous user.

Note from Phil Hendrie
Hi Everyone.

This is the real Phil Hendrie. I love this site but you need to know there is a scumbag who threatened my family and repeatedly goes on about how I was fired from KFI. his ip is. Now the only reason why I say this is because information is information or this site is a joke. I think it can be valuable. I would appreciate people watching my back on this. I can prove I am who I say I am...send me an e-mail at phs@philhendrieshow.com...I will respond. In the meantime, to the guy that has been involved in this vandalizing...not a problem..but you stepped over line when you involved my family and brother, you made the biggest mistake of your life. Hide while you can.

Phil Hendrie Phil Hendrie 02:10 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm still here Phil. Your such a sick liar saying I threatened your family. I never did anything like that. Your a sick sad man.

10:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * What's wrong with saying that you were replaced by that host, because KFI thought he could get better ratings in that slot? I've got two sources saying this, laradio.com and the host himself. So what your saying is that everyone is lying and has a personal vendatta against you? The XTRA sports program director has even said that your ratings werent great on KFI, but that they would be great on XTRA Sports. "Hendrie brings a 4 share with Men 25-54. A 4 on KFI doesn't do much. A 4 on my radio station does a lot. And it is all men numbers." If information is true it can't be slander. I also find it interesting that you hate laradio.com, yet you would read a top ten list they complied. Also why did your program director speak to this lying ass site then? Let's just say "In Feburay 2005, KFI replaced his show with a conservative talker. His show has since been moved to XTRA sports 570 am, a local L.A sports station." Just because information is negative about you, doesn't mean the page is being vandalized. And you calling laradio.com a gossip site, is opinion not a fact.JackAlm 20:13, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Jack,

 * It is obviously clear by now that you have an agenda. You are addressing the subject of this article but you presume to have information that I don't about my life, my career and my work. You and Vlad and all others who are fighting ferociously to discredit this site with slander are not engaged in scholarly work. It is gossip. The question begs: Things I have said on my show about fact and circumstance are quoted in the article and yet me very clearly stating that I was not fired from KFI is under very suspicious dispute. What I say on my show is quotable but not on this page. This is curious in the very least. You seem to have contacts in the radio industry that you find credible and don't comprehend their self-interest yet you discount the very person who is the subject of this work. The host that replaced me is a conservative talker in keeping with that stations philosophy. (It is quite obvious to me as well that people inside the radio industry have some hand in this maliciousness as these attacks on me have been constant since my coming to the LA market) I am a satrist. I wanted off of that station. I recieved offers from Infinity and ABC at the time but opted to stay in the company because of the unique place I would have on a sports station. Recognizing the obvious bias that is contained in these attacks on me I appeal to the editors of this site, one of whom I have had communication with and who is a fair and serious person. These efforts to insist on information that is hearsay with no credible source (The claim that the program director said I was fired, I note, has suddenly been dropped) are worthy of a gossip blog or an opinion piece. They are not worthy of a site that makes efforts at scholarship and the control that rumormongers insist is theirs discredits this work. Using phrases like "..from what I hear" utterly proves my point) I will say it again, it is slander. And even if it were true, I must ask this: After working at countless radio stations over 32 years, many of which I was fired from, why is it so important to include this particular instance in a piece that focuses, happily, for the most part on the shows content and style? Are there mentions that I was fired from WSB, Atlanta or KVEN, Ventura? And would they go in the article on my say so? That is also a red flag. I would like to invite you to meet with me at my office and we can discuss this face to face. You may meet our COO, talk with the principles and so forth. If after hearing the truth, you still insist on this slander then I would say my case is made. Contact me at phs@philhendrieshow.com.

I'm simply a listener and an advocate of wikipedia. And like many others here I only want to ensure that the articles on this page are efficient and informative. I am sure that for many people who edit this article don't care for your politics. But when someone comes along who is actually disgruntled and blatantly vandalizes-- it will be removed shortly. It's very cool that you visit, so correct anything which is wrong, but it has to remain in NPOV (neutral point of view). Thanks, love the show btw. Vladisglad 23:29, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Vlad,

The fact is that apparently no one can cite a credible source as to why Mr. Hendrie left the station. Until we have a verifiable source (see No original research, I would just as soon not make any generalizations as to why Phil left or didn't leave. And XTRA Sports 570 is demonstrably KLAC, so why was that removed? I'm putting it back in. Calwatch 02:17, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * First things first: don't delete past comments. It ends up being taken out of context. If you want to correct spelling or add facts you didn't think of before, fine, but don't delete entire paragraphs out of hand. It confuses new readers. Use the colon key to indent your comments. Secondly, as a neutral person, laradio.com is a web site. It is like a blog, and is decidedly not a newspaper, even an industry trade paper. I'm sure Don Barrett thinks he has high journalistic standards, but the fact is he is ultimately unaccountable. I don't think there is anything wrong with a statement like On February 21, 2005, Hendrie left KFI to fellow Clear Channel Communications station KLAC, better known to Southern Californians as XTRA Sports 570. I still think this "controversy" (for what it's worth) needs to be addressed, but I can see why putting it in the first few paragraphs might not be such a good idea.

Calwatch 05:53, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Calwatch, you should first read the interview with the XTRA sports program director before you judge. The program director even says that Phil's show might have been but on the Air America station had XTRA sports not picked up his show. This is why I find Phil's claim of willingly leaving KFI dubious. If he was planning on leaving KFI, you think he would of had a station to fall back on, not the Air America station, a station he has personally blasted on air.JackAlm 02:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The show is syndicated to somewhere around 100 stations. Phil didn't work for KFI, he doesn't work for XTRA-sports, he works for Premier. the fact that the Los Angeles market is now served by a different station is almost irrelevant, certainly not a "first (or second) paragraph" piece of info. Maybe if Phil wasn't heard in L.A. anymore, perhaps, but since the show is still available in L.A. there really needn't be any mention. The show moving from one station to another is wholly irrelevant to a typical reader. As phil mentioned, why not make a big deal of all the other stations he's been cancelled from and hired on in the last year? or, add them all.. "PHIL WAS FIRED from WXPZ in shittown, rhode island,  on july 10th, and in august his show was picked up by WIPE on Nantucket, then he was fired from this station, and hired by another ".. etc. etc... who cares? if this nonsense need continue, I suggest make a seperate section of the article and call it "los angeles market controversy", and put all the KFI / xtra sports BS in it.  --Kvuo 01:34, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Fired/Moved Controversy
Frank Valli, I wish you would leave my comments alone. I am not spreading misinformation. What I am reporting is accurate information. KFI was Hendrie's biggest station, look it up! Hendrie despite what he has said was basically fired from KFI to make room for conservative radio tlak show host John Zielger. E-mail the host John Ziegler at talktozig@aol.com, and ask him yourself about this. What I'm reporting is FACT. Don't take just Hendrie's word for it. Do some of your won research like I have.

 * Ok, I'll leave your comments alone. I'm just trying to make this neutral point of view (but personally I agree with your statements).  Anyone else have any opinions about this?  I really am not sure about this, so I'll leave it alone. FranksValli 01:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

RESPONSE: Thank you Frank. And do not believe what that "Phil Hendrie" has said. He is spreading lies about me. I have never threatened his family, that is an outrageous statement. I demand a retraction. I have not been spreading misinformation about him.

 * Well, there's no reason to doubt that's not Phil Hendrie. I'm not sure of what's going from what Phil mentioned, I'll leave this between you two..  But in regards to the "he was fired" - unless you can point to an official statement, I think that's a rather strong statement to make.  What's wrong with just leaving it as it was - as "he moved"?  Also, can you please sign your statements with four tildas (~), it makes it a bit more organized.  FranksValli 02:07, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Haha, I'm watching the webcast right now and Phil just mentioned his note on here. Kinda cool I guess.  FranksValli 04:34, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

What did Phil say when he mentioned his note?

 * I think this is whole situation is unbelievably strange. Personally, my own edits here have tried to mediate the matter and especially ensure facts are cited, which is why like you (below) I don't want to keep the "fired" bit in there. I don't understand the fascination in repeatedly inserting uncitable details of a supposed firing in though. --Derek 16:30, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

RESPONSE: The problem is that by saying "he moved" you make it sound like he decided to leave on his own. Hendrie has not been honest with his auidence. Frank, your only geting your information from Phil, so of course he's not gonna say he was forced out, he's gonna spin it his way. Would you willingly leave the highest rated talk station in America? I've had it confirmed that Hendrie was forced out by 2 sources, laradio.com and John Ziegler, the radio host who replaced him. He should just be honest with his audience.

 * As much as I like his show, I think it's obvious Hendrie was forced out of KFI. He is still hired by Premiere Radio Networks, so obviously he wasn't fired from his job.  Think of it as a company moving an employee from one building to the other.  In addition, this article should stick to official statements or things mentioned on his show.  It doesn't help that these "fired" edits were constantly edited by an anonymous IP (which made it look suspicious, but I see you've registered now).  Anyhow, this kind of dispute isn't new here on Wikipedia.  Maybe we can insert a note that says this: "(some unofficial sources claim that Hendrie was forcibly moved)" (and then cite these sources at the bottom of the page).  This is factual, since some sources apparently do say this.  It's important to distinguish this from simply saying "Hendrie was fired".  If Hendrie moved or was forcibly moved, he still moved, which is neutral point of view (NPOV), and Wikipedia policy.  FranksValli 20:44, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Phil's Blog
Phil is such a coward. He thinks that by having a blog that supports Bush it will be the end of his "career" in hollywood? He has such a ego. The main reason he shut it down was because people kept dicking around with him. No one took that blog seriously. I would just leave comments to piss him off, and get him to respond. And being the loser that he was he did! -   - Anyone want to guess how long it last before NBC pulls the plug on Phil's show? Phil you really do have a face for radio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vlad2223 (talk • contribs) 20:54, 2005 December 1 (UTC)

I can't access Phil's blog anymore - it just takes me to a generic server host page. Does this mean it's gone, or that they forgot to pay the monthly bill (it's been about a month, right?). FranksValli 16:16, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

You should know that Phil Hendrie has recently confirmed, on his show, that he took down the blog.

Bluesykillerhorn 14:44, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Ah, ok - that explains it. I can only listen to the show here and there since I'm so busy these days :( FranksValli 20:37, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

I didn't get a chance to read this but would like to. Is there any way I can still read what was written? Also, what did Phil express as his reasons for taking down the blog? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.137.8.78 (talk) 03:13, 2005 September 30 (UTC)

He took down the blog because, as he put it, he didn't want to be "blackballed" by his soon-to-be new co-workers (the other actors on Fillmore Middle). He basically said that he couldn't hadle argueing with that many "idiots" all at once. And, as far as I know, there isn't any way to see what he had posted unless somebody else had copied it all down and put it somewhere. Bluesykillerhorn 21:03, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

What to do with the characters list
In my recent revision, I've turned the character list into sub-topics, so they can now be linked to. For instance, many of the characters have relations to other characters, so instead of saying "refer to X", we just link to them.

However! The Contents list, which shows up in the article, is a little too big for this article. If no one else has any problems with the length, then it's cool. Otherwise I think we should move all the characters to their own page (i.e. Phil Hendrie Show Characters) and only mention a couple of Hendrie's more popular characters in his main article.

FranksValli 23:41, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

We should get some non-fans to take a look at this page and see what they think, both about this article's current state and the idea of a seperate characters page. I honestly can't say, because I love the show and reading the character descriptions here cracks me up. --relaxathon 04:23, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Big Changes
— Preceding unsigned comment added by Plastic editor (talk • contribs) 08:02, 2005 December 29 (UTC)
 * Information regarding The Phil Hendrie Show is now in a separate article dedicated to the program.
 * Many of the character descriptions have been removed as their inclusion was overkill. Those that remain have been severely edited to remedy poor writing and extraneous anecdotes.  If anybody is particularly enthusiastic about a comprehensive character list, it belongs on another website.
 * Info regarding his television pilots and upcoming sitcom have been added to the article about the man himself. Definitely room for more about his career from anybody who has that information...

 * Disagree. You'll note, for instance, that The Colbert Report has a complete episode guide included therein (The Colbert Report episode guide). There is nothing that says that a complete list of information shouldn't be included. Calwatch 09:10, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I agree with making a separate page about the show, but we don't need to delete all the character info just because there's a lot of it. FranksValli 04:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I added a section about the Leykis/Hendrie feud and Phil's political views and their effect on his show. I feel both are relevant and interesting to Phil Hendrie.--Xijjix 01:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

in relation to... us
some one said on the Hitler discussion page that vandalism there was a result of Hendrie calling on his listeners to disrupt Wikipedia's basic philosophy by vandalising the page. if anyone heard him say this, was he serious enough to be worthy of an edit? maybe it should be on the show page. --Urukagina 1/3/06

 * I don't think so. In-between bits, Hendrie goes on rants, and one night he just happened to be talking about Wikipedia (probably because of what he felt was misrepresentation of his career in the article about him -- scroll up, he even contributed to this Talk page).  It was just a half-joking suggestion he happened to make about three times in the course of the rant, and it was broadcast all over the country, so...I don't know, I don't think it's noteworthy enough, personally, as much of a pain in the ass it was for the admins here.

Update on Phil/Wikipedia
I think the comment that Wikipedia is about scholarship and not rumour or gossip to be exactly the point. I find Wikipedia to be a noble effort but, as in the case of Phil Hendrie, the subjects of many articles are too controversial for objective contribution to be heard above the din. If Hendrie is not a "source," then why is John Zieglar or Don Barrett? Is there a quote from the program director published anywhere that says he fired Phil? Hendrie has said many things on his show that would obviously incite someone to discredit him. Until Wikipedia can insure the factual accuracy of what it presents, the effort itself is comprimised. The "Wikipedia Version Of The Consitution" joke that was going around might not be too far from the truth, were the Constitution presented here and then subject to the editing of agenda-riddled people. Wikipedia should survive. It will however take real effort on the part of people interested in facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betty Cohen (talk • contribs) 04:21, 2006 February 16 (UTC)

Look I'm not denying that Phil is talent, I think KFI made a dumb move in replacing him with Ziegler. But Phil would never voluntarily leave the highest rated talk station to a lower rated sports station. All I'm saying is that Phil shouldn't lie to his auidence. You have to subscribe to laradio.com to find the quote from the XTRA sports program director saying that Phil was forced out of KFI. Phil has a fragile ego, and had to attack when the truth is being revealed. He fed his audience his story of why he left KFI, and doesn't want anyone to challenge it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evil Phil (talk • contribs) 06:29, 2006 February 17 (UTC)

You can argue if there is any point in even mentioning it within his main biography article. He didn't even work at KFI studios, he had his own. He goes on and off at different stations around the country. All I'm sayin.

Historical Innacuracies
I am new to this, and might need your help.

The section titled Views and Blog has a sentence that reads: "Despite evidence to the contrary, he continues to believe WMDs will be discovered in Iraq." This sentence is historically inaccurate, since this matter is still being debated/discussed and/or investigated. The sentence could probably be more accurate as: "He believes that WMDs will be finally discovered in Iraq."

Thanks, jerry.mills

Silent Scream

Removed POV Quotation Marks
Article has been edited (modernized?) without any notes. I also removed the quotation marks from "War On Terror". The statement War On Terror is an official term. Medals are being issued in the DOD for soldiers who fought the War On Terror. These medals are: Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. Quotation marks show a POV, making the actual conflict diminished and shows bias and lack of neutrality.

jerry.mills

Needs more explaination

 * The feud came to a boiling point at a National Association Of Broadcasters convention, when Hendrie walked up to Leykis and did the infamous "Silent Scream" martial arts technique, leaving Leykis in a brief state of confusion. This event was witnessed by other broadcasters in attendance, and Orange County Courier journalist Doug Dannger.

Doug Danger is a character created by and performed by Phil Hendrie; therefore, he could not have witnessed any exchange between Hendrie and Leykis.

This all needs to be cleared up. DD is indeed a character and not a real person and no one seems to know what this "silent scream" business it. Please don't replace any of this until it is made clear what the above material means. --DanielCD 20:34, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Huge mistake. Teachers will fail. It might come back, but no way is it going to be long running show. No one wants to see Phil's old face. He should stick to what he does best.

 * Maybe rumor until tonights show - we'll find out. Just listened to the last few minutes of last night's show and it sounded like he was leaving.  He was talking about how TV pays so much more and requires less time investment, and no FCC hassle.  The last thing he did was say something to the effect of "oh yeah, and to the realm of radio..." followed by a truck horn honking.  So we'll find out for sure soon, if not tonight.

There's only one Phil Hendrie--that's for sure. I don't think anybody could ever duplicate his show. My favorite character was Art Bell and General Jameson.

Redirect of Jay Santos to here?
I would like to inquire as to why Jay Santos is redirected to this article. I noticed it from a ill placed link on Hell's Kitchen (U.S. season 7) and discovered it was a blue link. From what I can tell via WP, there is no tie between the names. A google search shows a few sources, but not enough to qualify as a redirect, nor is there any content in the page to signify why Jay Santos belongs here. Depending on the results of the season finale a disambiguation page may need to be created to qualify the 2 different entities as Jay Santos is also a chef who is participating in Hell's Kitchen.

Talk:Louis MacNeice

Unbalanced
This is unbalanced at the moment - I'm reading Stallworthy's biography, and I'll flesh out MacNeice's life as I go along over the next few weeks. I think for clarity's sake it's better to refer to him as Louis in childhood (although he was actually known by his first name then), and MacNeice from his time at Sherborne onwards when there were fewer other MacNeices around. Stallworthy refers to him as Louis throughout. --Andrew Norman 05:18, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Image
If anyone knows of a source for a public domain image of MacNeice, that would be better than a fair use copy of a book cover. --Andrew Norman 10:11, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

British?
He may have been born in Belfast but when he was born there was no border in Ireland and people in the north thought of themselves as Irish. His family were from Connamara, which makes it highly unlikely that he would have thought of himself as 'British' but rather would have thought of himself as 'Irish'. Being Irish does not preclude someone having British nationality, just as being Welsh does not mean that someone is not a British citizen. On sources that I have seen make it clear that he thought of himself as Irish and that should be recognised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.198.186 (talk) 20:16, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

 * He was British all his life, even after Irish independence he chose to remain a British national and even spent his last days living in England.
 * Your logic is so wrong and what you are saying is akin to claiming that every person from New Mexico or Texas is a Mexican. 87.122.27.28 (talk) 15:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

The Dark Tower
The parenthetical:

"the BBC radio premiere of MacNeice's The Dark Tower in 1947, was preceded by the poet's ten-minute introduction in his distinctive Northern Irish accent."

is not supported by a citation. I have changed the date of the premier to 21 January 1946 per &, but there is no mention there of such an introduction. The programme was scheduled from 9:15 to 10pm, and the version online ( is 1h13min, so there is not a ten-minute gap there, either.

Irish?
As the recent IP edit summary said here, "MacNeice's birth predated Northern Ireland by nearly two decades." But for 42 years he was "from Northern Ireland"? From 1917 he was at Sherborne Preparatory School in Dorset anyway, and all notability as a published poet arose after the partition. Geographically speaking, he was very much "from Northern Ireland".

Extreme Dinosaurs

Extreme Dinosaurs is an American animated series produced by DIC Productions, L.P. and Bohbot Entertainment in 1997 based on a 1996 toy line from Mattel. This show is a spin-off of Street Sharks (where they first appeared as the Dino Vengers).

The show is in the same vein as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jurassic Park. Extreme Dinosaurs was broadcast in syndication as part of Bohbot Entertainment's Bohbot Kids Network block where it aired for one season in 1997.

Plot
The series starred a Tyrannosaurus, a Triceratops, a Stegosaurus, and a Pteranodon that were transformed into super warriors by an interdimensional criminal named Argor Zardok. They rebelled against the alien criminal and battle with Argor's second group of warriors known as the evil Raptors. Eventually, the Raptors' objective is to cause global warming by increasing the Earth's temperature to suit themselves, not caring the humans shall suffer from global warming.

Extreme Dinosaurs

 * T-Bone (voiced by Scott McNeil) – a Tyrannosaurus and the team's leader who is usually attentive to the primary objective even where the others are distracted. His signature move is that he can perform alone or with any in the group is the "Saurian Stomp" which shakes the local ground. T-Bone is light yellow and wears black boots (wherein one of his claws protrudes through both boots), dark green pants, and shoulder pads.
 * Spike (voiced by Cusse Mankuma) – a Triceratops with one broken horn who is the Extreme Dinosaurs' martial arts expert and the residential chef. Despite his eagerness to fight, he tends a garden in his free time. Spike is iceberg blue with a dark purple under his tail and wears brown shorts, brown leg bands, a yellow belt, and is always barefoot.
 * Stegz (voiced by Sam Vincent) – a Stegosaurus who is the team's technological specialist and the most contemplative of the four. He can curl his body into a destructive saw blade, using the plates on his back as its cutting edge. Stegz is apple green and wears purple shorts and black boots.
 * Bullzeye (voiced by Jason Gray-Stanford) – a wise-cracking Pteranodon whose chief weapon is a shriek of ear-splitting frequency. Bullzeye is lazy and given to impulse buying. Bullzeye is maroon red and wears yellow pants, black boots (which his claws protrude through), and a gold necklace.
 * Hard Rock (voiced by Blu Mankuma) – an Ankylosaurus from an alternate reality inhabited by humanoid dinosaurs. After helping them against the Raptors, Hard Rock joined the Extreme Dinosaurs. He is the principal pacifist. Hard Rock is tan and wears red pants with grey boots.

Raptors
The Velociraptors (or Raptors) are the archenemies of the Extreme Dinosaurs determined to conquer Earth or to change its climate by global warming to fit their comfort:

 * Bad Rap (voiced by Garry Chalk) – the leader of the Raptors. He is orange with yellow stripe tail and a metal brace-like device attached to his mouth. He briefly had a weapon on one hand that dissolved solid matter effortlessly. This is later replaced by a rocket-launcher. Bad Rap wears a yellow strap over his torso and waist and black shorts. His goal is to permanently alter the Earth's biosphere to closely resemble the Mesozoic. In "The Dinosaur Prophecy", Bad Rap briefly developed a super-powered alter ego named Abysmal Rap. As Abysmal Rap, he is the most powerful villain in the show.
 * Haxx (voiced by Lee Tockar) – a mahogany Raptor with implants on the backs of each wrist that produce green blades. His tail has been replaced with a blade that is capable of spinning like a drill. Haxx is the most gifted among of all of the main characters with his abilities, but he is set back by his low intelligence. He wears pink shorts.
 * Spittor (voiced by Terry Klassen) – the brains of the Raptors. He is mulberry-purple with white on his neck, chest and feet. Spittor wears no clothing and carries a tank of various liquids released from nozzles on his hands, tail, and mouth.
 * Cyber-Raptors – robot versions of Raptors built by Spittor to use as foot soldiers against the Extreme Dinosaurs. They first appeared in the episode "Cyber Raptors".

Quadrainians
The Quadrainians are a race of blue-skinned humanoids from the largely unseen Quadrainia:

 * Argor Zardok (voiced by Terry Klassen) – a wanted criminal from Quadrainia who arrives on Earth in the Mesozoic and transforms most of the principal characters into his personal soldiers. He ended up causing the K-T Event by equipping Bad Rap with a supremely-powerful weapon.
 * Chedra Bodzak (voiced by Louise Vallance) – a female law officer stranded on Earth alongside the Extreme Dinosaurs and distinguished by constant reference to a "Codebook" containing the laws of her society. She serves as a mentor to the Dinosaurs and as a comic foil when they transgress her book's edicts.

Development
The show was originally named Dangerous Dinosaurs when the series was first announced by Bohbot in December 1996. Karen Lee Brown of Bohbot deemed the series as being a cartoon that doesn't rely on weapons but having "enough action to intrigue kids". The show was originally planned as a weekly series.

Merchandise
In August 1997, Bohbot signed deals with over 22 companies for merchandising, including Mattel (Toys), Hallmark (Cards), Fruit of the Loom (Underwear) and Anchor Bay Entertainment (Home Video), although the toys launched prior to the show's launch in April. The launch was also promoted with a 'View & Win' promotion, where action figures and other licensed products were offered as prizes.

In October 1997, Bohbot signed a deal with Creative Mills and H.H. Cutler Company for clothing, including sets, coordinates and T-shirts.

In January 1998, Bohbot's international division BKN International signed UK and Australian home video deals with Carlton Video and Village Roadshow respectively.

Home video
In October 1997, Anchor Bay Entertainment released two VHS releases of the series - "Out of Time" and "Ick-Thysaurus Vacation", each containing two episodes. Two promotional tapes containing the episodes "Raptoroid" and "Bullzeye Surfs the Web" were also released, exclusively at Blockbuster stores.

In the UK, Carlton Home Entertainment released the series on many VHS volumes. "Out of Time" and "Ick-Thysaurus Vacation" were double-cassette releases each including the bonus episode on the standalone tape, while other releases included "Lunartoons", "Raptoroid", "Jurassic Art", "Cyber-Raptors", which had three episodes on one VHS.

Roadshow Entertainment released the series on VHS in Australia on the VHS volumes: "Ick-Thysaurus Vacation" and "Dinosaur Warriors". In 2006, Force Entertainment released the complete series over four single-disc DVD volumes. Each DVD volume included a single opening and closing sequence, with 13 episodes in production order. Pidax Film released the first 13 episodes on DVD in Germany, with English and German audio, on April 6, 2018, under license from Your Family Entertainment AG. This was followed up with three more volumes, released on June 22, August 31, and October 26, respectively, all together making up the complete series.

Under license from 41 Entertainment and Invincible Entertainment Partners, Discotek Media will release the complete series on Blu-ray in 2024. Similar to their Street Sharks and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog releases, it will be released as a standard-definition Blu-Ray.

Future
Since the show ended in late 1997, the show has been made available on many streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime and Apple TV among other platforms.

In 2021, "Bad Rap Rising", a live action fan film based on the series and using animatronics was released on small streaming platforms. It has no official connection to the series as the series is now owned by 41 Entertainment.

Toy line
Extreme Dinosaurs was a series of toys created by Mattel in 1996. It later spawned a TV series in 1997 with the same name. Originally called Dino Vengers, these toys are about a group of college teens who turn into dinosaurs (the plot for the toys is a lot different than the plot of the TV series). The main toys are "T-Bone", "Bullzeye", "Spike", "Stegz" and "Hard Rock". The enemies of the toy line are "Bad Rap", "Haxx" and "Spittor". Later on, the toys expanded into "Dino Vision" toys. There were also War Paint and re-colors of the toys. The toys were also a spin-off of Street Sharks, another toy line also by Mattel that was also made into a TV series.
