Leighlinbridge

Leighlinbridge is a small town on the River Barrow in County Carlow, Ireland. It is 11 km south of Carlow town, on the R705 road. The N9 national primary route once passed through the village, but was by-passed in the 1980s.

It covers the townlands of Leighlin (east bank of the river) and Ballyknockan (west bank). The village features narrow winding streets, grey limestone malthouses and castle ruins overlooking a 14th-century bridge across the River Barrow. Leighlinbridge has won the National Tidy Towns Competition, has come first in the Barrow Awards, been an overall national winner in Ireland's Green Town 2000, and represented Ireland in the European "Entente Florale" competition in 2001.

We Are Not Alone (Breaking Benjamin album)

We Are Not Alone is the second studio album by American rock band Breaking Benjamin. It was released on June 29, 2004. Three singles were released from the album, "So Cold", "Sooner or Later", and the full-band version of "Rain", as opposed to the original version in which the only instrument used is an acoustic guitar, which came out near the end of June 2005. The album name is a reference to the novel of the same name. We Are Not Alone sold 48,000 copies on its first week and was certified platinum by the RIAA on June 13, 2005. It is the first Breaking Benjamin album to receive a Parental Advisory label.

A Live EP was released with limited editions of the album, containing live recorded versions of "Sugarcoat," "Water," "Medicate," and "Next to Nothing" from their first album Saturate.

We Are Not Alone is the last studio album to feature drummer Jeremy Hummel. The track "Firefly" was featured in the 2004 video games WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw and WWE Day of Reckoning.

According to AllMusic critic Johnny Loftus, the album stylistically incorporates early Tool's sound through post-grunge's more accessible melodics.

Angie Bonino

Angie Bonino (born 1974, in Lima) is an artist and graphic designer. She studied at the ENSABAP Escuela Nacional Superior Autónoma de Bellas Artes del Perú (National School of Fine Arts), and has a degree in Painting. She has done an artistic labor inside the disciplines of electronic arts, such as video art, video installation, net art, performance. She has one bipersonal and four individual exhibitions, the last one named Entremedios (2003).

She exhibited the video installation “Feet on the ground” (2000) at the “Interférences” Festival in Belfort, France (2000). In this work she uses 30 pneumatic spheres as a "screen" on which to project garbage-images of the Internet and TV. These spheres occupy the entire space of the installation and spectators must separate them to find their way out. She participated in "El Final del Eclipse" in Madrid, Spain in 2001, “Nueva/vista Videokunst aus Lateinamerika” at the Iffa-Galerie in Berlin (2003), and in “WRO 03, the tenth International Media-Art Biennial” at the WRO Centre for Media Art in Kraków, Poland.

She presented her videos “The Image” (2001), on the theme of war, and “The found Object” (2000), an analysis of “ready-made” television culture, at the World Wide Video Festival in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 2003. She participated in video workshops with Micky Kwuela (1999), Manuel Saiz (2000) and Jorge La Ferla (2000).

Through her work she makes a critical analysis of the electronic communication media, raising the new ethical dilemma connected with their use in the arts. For Bonino, the products of artistic and scientific creation that resound in global activities often contain a dual load that oscillates between profit or benefit and manipulation.

Rathvilly

Rathvilly is a village, civil parish and townland in County Carlow, Ireland. The village is on the River Slaney, near the border with County Wicklow and County Kildare, 11 km from Tullow and 8 km from Baltinglass. It is also on the N81 national secondary route. Rathvilly won the Irish Tidy Towns Competition in 1961, 1963, and 1968.

History
In the centre of the village, there is a statue dedicated to Kevin Barry, an 18-year-old who was executed for his part in the Irish War of Independence on 1 November 1920. Though from Dublin, Barry had family locally and had attended the national school in Rathvilly.

In February 1990, a two-year-old purebred Charolais heifer named 'Dreamer', was found to have survived five months without water whilst trapped between bales of hay in a local farmer's hayshed. It is understood that Dreamer accidentally wandered into the shed unnoticed in September 1989 whilst bales were being stacked and subsequently became trapped. After her discovery, her owner Vincent Balfe noted that under such conditions the heifer should have only survived for two or three weeks, but remarkably, had somehow survived for 24. The heifer lost four hundredweight in weight during her five-month ordeal but, when found, was standing up, supple, was not emaciated, did not have sunken eyes, and did not have any sores or injuries. The news made headlines in Ireland and reached the press as far away as South America. Experts and veterinary surgeons could not understand how the animal had survived so long on just straw, without any water, but it is possible that occasional rain squalls which blew into the shed pooled on portions of the plastic, providing water for her to drink. In the years that followed, Dreamer made appearances at various high-profile events, including the National Ploughing Championships as well as other farm-related events. A commemorative event was held in February 2020 marking 30 years since the cow's discovery.

Places of interest
Rathvilly Moat, a medieval structure, is found one mile off the village on Hacketstown road. The Lisnavagh Estate lies just outside the village of Rathvilly.

Sport
Rathvilly GAA club is the village's Gaelic Athletic Association team. The teams play in Green and Gold jerseys and have won the Carlow Senior Football Championship 9 times in their history. The club's most recent championship win came in 2021. Rathvilly's Brendan Murphy has represented his country in the annual AFL series on several occasions. In 2015, a Rathvilly team won the Under 16 Carlow A Championship. In 2013, the Rathvilly Junior-A team completed the double, winning both championship and league finals.

Transport
Rathvilly railway station opened on 1 June 1886, closed for passenger traffic on 27 January 1947 and finally closed altogether on 1 April 1959.

Talk:Thomas Scott (Orangeman)

Scott's boss
Scott's boss whom he almost killed was called Snow I believe, but there does not seem to be a page on him yet. Perhaps you can expand on this if you have the sources. If not, I shall return at a later date. ^_^

Scott scared
It is also said that Thomas Scott was just supposed to be scared by the soldiers.

Grammar check
Grammar check: change "his captors" to "his captors'" (add appostrophe for possessive form). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.70.130 (talk) 09:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Unclear
Was Scott part of a party that attacked the fort and was arrested? Or was he one of the people in the fort when it was captured? The article doesn't make it clear. And what makes him a criminal as he's called in the first sentence? 68.173.155.35 (talk) 02:53, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

POV
For goodness sake, the only reference for this article is from the Orange order? This is an important player in the history of the Red River provisional government and his death changed the new confederation's admission of Manitoba into Canada; surely this article deserves a more balanced treatment. 99.240.241.93 (talk) 17:17, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Thomas Scooter
It looks to me that someone vandalized the page and changed his name to Thomas Scooter. I'm changing it to Thomas Scott, bu please provide details here if I am wrong about doing this. JettaMann (talk) 13:56, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Abused his guards, threatened to murder riel, etc.
why does this article have so little —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.87.83.207 (talk) 20:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Modern Perception and Controversy
I found that this Wikipedia article clearly lacks a substantial amount of info, considering the historical role Thomas Scott played in Western Canada. Having only "life, death and memorials" i feel that i would be able to expand on how Thomas Scott is perceived within a modern context. In Chester Brown's 2003Louis Riel Scott plays a pivotal role in Riel's story, but he is projected as a crass and hostile prisoner. Scott is the centre of alot of controversy in Canadian history. I feel like i have to tread lightly with this approach because WIKIPEDIA is a shared space etc. However i do believe that there is some foundation to build on for modern perception, alongside various portrayals of Thomas Scott in film, graphic novel, and other literature. Mlocksley (talk) 17:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Missing items
The Wikipedia article is lacking information in the history of Thomas Scott. One suggestion for improving the article is focus primarily on Thomas Scott's life after he immigrated to North America. This is crucial to discuss because Europeans who arrived at North America immigrated here for specific reasons either to flee something from their home territory or were sentenced to North America for crime. StanLeehen (talk)

Expand and add
This article could address why the Canadian government sent Scott to the region for survey. He is still a controversial character in Canadian history with regard to if his execution was justified or not. Although we are to remain neutral on Wikipedia, it can still be explored both sides of the debate.Also, a large chunk of the article is a quotation from one of the members of Scott's expedition. This description should be considered bias, and is against the guidelines of using primary source information. Some background information could be added, such as when he immigrated to Canada, why he chose to serve the Macdonald government, or why he was attacking the fort in the first place. WallyJK (talk) 18:15, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Education Program: Trent University - Proposal Outline for Changes
We are a group of Trent University students enrolled in the course: History of Western Canada. As a group, we intend to make some changes to the article “Thomas Scott (Orangeman),” in order to provide more detailed content on Thomas Scott. These changes will include reducing the size of the quotation under the sub heading “Life.” We will add an additional sectional that will provide information on Thomas Scott’s role in the Red River Resistance. Information on what it meant to be an Orangeman, with a link provided to the existing Wikipedia page “Orangeman,” would be added as well in order to provide content on Scott’s role as an Orangeman and what influence this had during the Red River Resistance. Lastly, we will include more information in the “Memorials” section and expand it to include Thomas Scott’s legacies as well. These are our goals as a group for this Wikipedia article. As a result of these changes, the article will be able to provide more information to readers on Thomas Scott, his role in the Red River Resistance and as an Orangeman, and his significance within Canada history. A detailed outline of these changes is provided below:

Detailed Outline:

In looking at the Wikipedia page for “Thomas Scott (Orangeman),” there is sufficient information in describing who Thomas Scott was. However, the page has the potential to expand on the role that Thomas Scott played in Canadian history. Therefore changes would allow for the page to become more abundant in information for users. It would also make the page easier to navigate. These would be the goals for improving the article “Thomas Scott (Orangeman).” When attempting to improve upon the already existing article, the first change would be to reduce the size of a quotation in the “life” section. The existing quotation takes much of the area in that particular section. As a result of this, it incorporates Thomas Scott’s life, as well as his role in the Red River Resistance. In changing the format of this, two steps would need to take place. The first would be to break down the quotation and keep the information that it provides readers with concerning his life in that section. This would be something that would also be backed up with additional information from other scholarly sources. The second step would be to create another section in the article. This would be done in order to include the information that the rather large quote provides in the role that Thomas Scott played in the Red River Resistance. Again, this would be something that would be backed up and added to with additional scholarly sources. In doing this it would make it easier to break up the information between Scott’s life and his specific role in the Resistance. Following this would be to also add a section which would provide information and a link to what the Orangeman were and what roles Thomas Scott would have played within this. The importance of including this in the Wikipedia page would be that while there already exists an extensive page on information about the Orangeman; it would be interesting to have information specifically concerning what Scott’s role in the organization was, as well as what role they would have had in this instance of the Red River Resistance. The final part of expanding the already existing information of the article would be to include additional information concerning the memorials of Thomas Scott. In doing so, expanding that particular section to include the legacy that Thomas Scott left would also be done. The reasoning for this would be because the information that is provided in this section is sparse. Therefore, by combining the two topics, it would allow for a culmination in the article as to the significance that Thomas Scott played in being a historical figure in Canada.

Jamie Lotton (talk) 20:18, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Scott and the Wolseley Expedition
Regarding the sentence "Scott was garrisoned to the Wolseley Expedition to quell the Red River Rebellion". The Wolseley Expedition arrived after Scott's execution so he could not be a member of or garrisoned to the expedition. -- Kayoty (talk) 20:56, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Edit Suggestions
I think this article is off to a really good start! I like the subheadings such as Significance & Death, and Memorials that you have added in to improve the article. I think to improve your work, you should further divide the "Life" section into "Early Life" and "Political Life" to allow for readers to see his personal information (birth, religion, immigration), separately from his political connections to the Canadian Party/Red River Rebellion. I would also adjust the "Trial and Execution" section to be one of "Imprisonment and Trial", and another specifically about his execution. In the Imprisonment and Trial you could use much of the information you have already inputted such as his behaviour while in jail, and his sentencing to a firing squad. The second section, specifically about his execution would focus on the details of his death, which I believe is one of the most significant aspects to the history of Scott. I think that the existing "Trial and Execution" section is quite broad, and would become more concise if the above changes were considered. Another subsection you could look at adding in would be "Imagery of Thomas Scott", as there has been significant controversy around his portrayal in comic books, art, etc. which further complicates the details about his execution (you begin to mention this in the existing 'Trial & Execution' area). For this, you could look to Chester Brown's graphic novel, but also to various paintings of his execution that have been done since, which would also add more images to the page. Finally, as it is a wikipedia page about a person, it becomes a sort of biography. As most people turn to Wikipedia for the 'quick facts' about a person, I would include a chart under the image of Scott found on the page which briefly mentions quick facts such as his date of birth, place of birth, date of death, etc. Overall, I think this is really well done, and with a few changes could be a very excellent resource for work regarding Thomas Scott. I look forward to seeing where you go with this :) --Erikaleu (talk) 22:57, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Suggestive Points
The article is well on its way to being a very informative source! Much of the information listed is relevant and allows the reader to gain a pretty good understanding of Scott's life and execution. Personally, I think the organization of the article could be tweaked a little and more details could be added. When looking at other wiki articles the first paragraphs seem to almost be a summery of the entire article-- hitting on key points that will be discussed throughout. It may be beneficial to lengthen the first paragraph to include the trial and his death. The subheadings that are in place now are quite useful, but I would recommend breaking it down even further to: 'Role...', 'Imprisonment', 'Trial', and 'Execution'. These headings would create segues to the events that lead to Scotts eventual demise and allow for more detail to be added (i.e. escaping the fort and getting re-captured)-- creating a more fluid article. This change would truly help the 'Trial and Execution' section, the meat of the article, become more fluid and less speculative. It is important to point out that the circumstances around his execution are quite unknown, but it may be more effective to explain the most accepted timeline. On the same note, I really liked that their was different accounts from eye witnesses, but I think maybe it would do the article justice to dedicate a paragraph or two to these discrepancies. I like your groups original plan of combining the 'Significance...' and 'Memorial' section. It would create a 'Legacy' section where you could then expand on the stir that Scott's death had on the contemporary, as well as in the modern day. A suggested source: From the Stacks at Bata Library: Bumstead's Trials and Tribulations: the Red River Settlement and the Emergence of Manitoba. Overall, the foundation of the article is coming a long great and with a few good sources and tweaking it will be a respectable source of information :)Jj.Metherell (talk) 16:10, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review and Potential Edits
This is a good article for reference, it is informative - the article has good use of dividing the subsections into the trial then into the significance of the trial and his death. It would benefit the article if there was elaboration upon the trial happenings- there seems to be a lot of emphasis in the Trial and Execution subsection on witness accounts- maybe incorporate more scholarly articles that research the trial.

Peer Review and Suggestive Changes
This article seems to be off to a good start. I have a few suggestions that I think will be useful and if you have any further questions or concerns about what I post feel free to contact me on my talk page. The first thing, while almost cosmetic but I think is very important, is the picture box, it has no information which is not like the rest of Wikipedia. I suggest that you update the box and include key information like name, birth-death, religion, etc. I have created a template that you can use, just copy, paste, and fill it out, it should work. EDIT : Apparently i can't put it in the talk page ... so if ya want it just ask me on my talk page and i can place it on one of your sandboxes.

As for the article it seems to be coming along although here are my suggestions as to what to change. The structure could be tweaked a little for it seems everything is packed in to a few headings that aren’t very precise to the information found inside. The first paragraph should be of a more complete summary of what is detailed in the article. It’s the first paragraph people see when they open the page up and if it doesn’t have the information they are looking for they are likely to leave. As for the rest of the article I think a breakdown of ‘Early Life’ since you don’t discuss anything past the point of red river it is not a complete description of his life, ‘Red River Resistance’ where you briefly outline what the event was and explain his role in it since not all readers will know what that was, ‘imprisonment and trail’ would be a better title I think to describe what occurred while he was captured and the tensions that were going on within the cell and perhaps discuss the fact that others were not being tried but not facing the ramifications of the sentencing, and the followed by ‘Execution’ since you have a lot of information on it, and ‘Significance of his death’ is a great title to explain why it was so important, also ‘Memorials’ is good if you discuss the other sites ‘Memorial’ if you only have the one.

Content wise I know it is difficult to find a lot about his life but I suggest looking at the Manitoba Historical Society webpage http://www.mhs.mb.ca/searchresults.shtml?cx=010615179535509863828%3A7zow4hyr79w&cof=FORID%3A11&q=Thomas+Scott&sa=Search for some more information. I looked at it briefly when I was planning to do Scott and it has some sources that may provide you with additional information and contains links to some good primary and secondary sources. I would like to see an expansion on the explanation of the history and his role in the Red River Resistance and what he did, seems to be lacking content. When it comes to content about the trial and execution I think you all have done a good job depicting the fact that he was a nuisance and caused a lot of frustration. He was also sick while in prison, perhaps that’s relevant to why he was a nuisance. You also do a good job at explaining that there are varying reports as to how he died but some reworking and clarity at the beginning of the paragraph that explains that would be beneficial. One last thing, the only source on this page is an encyclopedia, through the link above you can find other sources to add.

Hope this was helpful. If its unclear im sorry and if it sounds rude it wasn't my intent. Good Luck! APRenaud (talk) 17:58, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Suggestions
Off to a good start, but I think this article would be improved by breaking down the Trial & execution section, as it dominates the page. Perhaps separate it into the known facts and then controversy? In the 'Life' section, there is an abrupt transition between him moving to Ontario and being in Red River that I could see being confusing for those who are not familiar with the geography. I also wonder about the lack of neutrality in calling him a 'zealous' Orangeman and an 'individualist'. The placement of the picture of his execution also feels very disruptive on the page (as far as where it throws off the title of 'Memorials'), though this is cosmetic. Lindzcrymble (talk) 19:38, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Review of classmate's article
This article is very interesting, but not so long, so perhaps dedication to every part of the article would be necessary. I also found a lot of Grammatical mistakes in this particular article, so minor edits would make this more readable. As for the content, I really like the trial and execution part; it is the most informative, and provides much detail about the process Thomas Scott went through. However, I feel like a lot more could be written on his role in the Red River Resistance. He played an important part in this, so perhaps there could be a significant amount of detail in this section. The Article is good, but it could definitely be more informative. Emower193 (talk) 19:52, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Reference condensing
I've condensed a few of the references using named references, so citations to specific works can be reused in a way that is a bit easier to edit and read. If you want to re-use citations but you need to make reference to particular page numbers it can be tricky, however. I'm happy to help with that if need be. /cc Thanks. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:50, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Thomas Scott Memorial Day
Regarding the line: "To this day, Thomas Scott Memorial Day is celebrated on March 4th in Canada." There is no memorial day celebrated in Canada for Thomas Scott.-- Kayoty (talk) 23:26, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Bias
I find this article to be extremely biased. The facts presented seem to be hand-picked to create the impression that the "execution" of Scott was justified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WmDKing (talk • contribs) 21:48, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Rüdesheim am Rhein

Rüdesheim am Rhein is a German winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge, and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in this region. It lies in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis district in the Regierungsbezirk of Darmstadt, Hessen. Known as Rüdesheim, it is officially Rüdesheim am Rhein, to distinguish it from Rüdesheim an der Nahe. It is a major tourist attraction, especially for foreign visitors.

Location
Rüdesheim lies at the foot of the Niederwald on the Rhine's right bank in the Rheingau wine region. The town belongs to the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region and to the World Heritage Site Rhine Gorge. It has a picturesque Old Town, located in the Rheingau landscape celebrated in Rhine romanticism.

Territorial structure
Rüdesheim am Rhein as a municipality consists of five quarters: Assmannshausen, Aulhausen and Presberg have the status of an Ortsbezirk. Central Rüdesheim and Eibingen form a combined fourth Ortsbezirk.
 * Rüdesheim am Rhein (initial part and center)
 * Eibingen including Windeck, Eibingen Abbey and Nothgottes
 * Assmannshausen
 * Aulhausen including the former Marienhausen Abbey and the St. Vincenzstift
 * Presberg

Neighbouring communities
Rüdesheim borders in the north and north-west on the town of Lorch, in the east on the town of Geisenheim. On the left bank of the Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate, Rüdesheim faces the town of Bingen to the south, and the villages of Weiler und Trechtingshausen to the south-west. Rüdesheim is connected with the left Rhine bank by a ferry for pedestrians and one for cars.

History

The area was settled first by the Celts, then after the turn of the Christian Era by Ubii and later by Mattiaci. In the first century, the Romans pushed forth to the Taunus. In Bingen they built a castrum, and on the other side, near what is now Rüdesheim, lay a bridgehead on the way to the Limes.

The Romans were followed by the Alamanni, and during the Migration Period the Franks migrated into the region. Archaeological finds of glass from this time suggest that there was already winegrowing in Rüdesheim. The town's origin as a Frankish Haufendorf (roughly: "clump village") can still be seen on today's town maps.

Rüdesheim was first mentioned in a document in 1074. Its livelihood came mainly from winegrowing and shipping, particularly timber rafting.

On 1 January 1818, Rüdesheim received town rights. After Prussia annexed the Duchy of Nassau in 1867 and divided the area into districts (Kreise), Rüdesheim became a district seat in the newly founded Rheingaukreis. It held this status 110 years until 1977, when in the course of municipal reform in Hesse the districts of the Rheingaukreis and the Untertaunuskreis were merged into the new Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis, and Rüdesheim had to yield the district seat to Bad Schwalbach.

In 1877, the first foundation stone was laid for the Niederwalddenkmal, a patriotic monument above the vineyards which would be finished in 1883. It attracted many tourists who could reach it on a cog railway. Today, a gondola lift brings visitors up to the monument. Tourism has more and more replaced shipping as a source of income.

In 1939, under the secrecy that held sway at the time, the formerly self-governing community of Eibingen was forcibly amalgamated with the town by the National Socialists, against the community inhabitants' will. In 1977, within the framework of municipal reform, Assmannshausen, Aulhausen and Presberg were incorporated into Rüdesheim as Ortsbezirke.

Town council
The municipal election for the town council (German: Stadtverordnetenversammlung) was held on 6 March 2016 and yielded the following results, compared to previous elections:

 * Drosselgasse is a lane in the heart of Rüdesheim's Old Town. Live band entertainment, brass instruments and dance music all day and all night during the summer in the many wine taverns and open-air garden taverns along the 144-metre-long narrow cobblestone pedestrian street. Built in the 15th century, boat owners used the Drosselgasse to move items from the river to homes in the town.
 * St. Jakobus, the parish church from the 15th century, rebuilt after World War II
 * Burg Ehrenfels, a ruined castle in the vineyards
 * Brömserburg, the oldest castle in the Rhine Gorge World Heritage Site. It was built in the 10th century on the site of a Roman fortification. From the 10th to the 13th century it was owned by the Archbishop of Mainz. The old fortress was converted into a residence in the 12th century. It then passed into the control of the Knights of Rüdesheim. A branch of these knights was the Brömser. It was retaken by Archbishop Werner II von Eppenstein in 1281. The castle withstood a number of attacks. In 1640, during the Thirty Years' War, the top of the tower was destroyed by French troops under the command of Henri II d'Orléans, duc de Longueville. The Archbishopric sold it in 1803 and it has had several owners since then. The town of Rüdesheim bought the castle in 1941. The site includes a modern-day wine museum.
 * Boosenburg, a castle from the 12th century with a preserved bergfried and a Gothic revival villa which serves as a concert venue
 * Eibingen Abbey, founded by Hildegard of Bingen, above Eibingen
 * Remains of the Hindenburgbrücke, a bridge destroyed in the Second World War

Hiking trails
The Rheinsteig from Wiesbaden to Bonn leads through Rüdesheim's municipal area by both the Eibingen Abbey and the Niederwalddenkmal. Another trail is the Riesling-Route. It leads along the Rhine and through Rüdesheim's vineyards on the way to Wiesbaden.

Tradition
A well known tradition is the Weinkönigin ("Wine Queen") with her princesses. Each year in the summertime, the Rüdesheim wine festival is held, whose highlights include the Wine Queen's and the princesses' coronation. They represent the town of Rüdesheim and its wine in other communities and winegrowing areas.

In the deeds held by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen, vineyards are already found in the Rüdesheim area in 1399: auf dem Berge ("on the mountain"), bei dem Morgen Marschalls ("near Marshal's acre") and unterhalb Eibingen am Fluß ("beneath Eibingen at the river").

Rüdesheim lies in the north-west corner of the German wine-producing region Rheingau. Riesling grapes are the main type grown in this area, producing mainly high-quality white wines.

Talk:Planet Shakers

I'm not sure I agree with the edits made by User:Peter Ellis [see changes here]. Adding the states of all the cities looks quite cluttered - as long as it's clear that it's in Australia I think they're unnecessary. And I feel the old article structure offered a better introduction into what Planet Shakers are essentially about. — SimonEast 05:02, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your comments, Simon. I was trying to increase the 'linkage factor' and thereby save this page from the fate of the somewhat related article about Steven Donato (yes, now deleted! but you may still detect the faint whisps around somewhere.) I am quite willing to have the page restructured again with yet more detail to help justify its existence. Please make it relevant: I do not like to see any article about religious matters, organisations or people deleted. Peter Ellis 06:40, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jim Messina (musician)

James Messina (born December 5, 1947) is an American musician, songwriter, singer, guitarist, recording engineer, and record producer. He was a member of the folk rock group Buffalo Springfield, a founding member of the pioneering country rock band Poco, and half of the soft rock duo Loggins and Messina with Kenny Loggins.

Early life
James Messina was born in Maywood, California in 1947 and raised in Harlingen, Texas until he was eight. He spent much of his childhood split between his father's home in California and his mother's home in Texas.

His father was a guitarist and greatly influenced his son's musical career. Messina began playing the guitar at the age of five. He later became interested in the music of Elvis Presley and Ricky Nelson.

Jim Messina and His Jesters
When he was 16 years old, he recorded an LP with "His Jesters" titled The Dragsters, which was released in November 1964. One notable track was "The Jester", on which he played lead guitar; it was included on the 2003 CD Lost Legends of Surf Guitar Volume 1.

Buffalo Springfield
While with Buffalo Springfield, Messina served as a recording engineer, producer and musician, replacing bass player Bruce Palmer on two songs from their final album, Last Time Around.

Poco
After Buffalo Springfield disbanded, Messina and Richie Furay, a founding member of Buffalo Springfield, formed Poco in 1968. Switching back from bass to guitar, Messina played lead guitar and supplied vocals and some songwriting to the band. After recording two studio albums and one live album, he left Poco due to exhaustion from touring and to focus on becoming a record producer.

Loggins and Messina
After Poco, Messina signed a contract with Columbia Records as an independent producer. Messina was first introduced to the idea of producing Kenny Loggins in the summer of 1970 while still performing on the road with Poco. Loggins first met Messina in December 1970 at Messina's home, where the two recorded several Loggins compositions in Messina's living room. When deciding how to produce Loggins' first solo album, Messina met with Clive Davis, then president of Columbia Records. Messina proposed to Davis that he be allowed to sit in with Loggins on his first solo album in the same way jazz artists had done in the past and stated that Loggins also needed more upbeat and diverse material to help him gain appeal as a pop music artist. After reluctantly agreeing, Davis pursued the "Sitting In" concept. With music trends moving away from folk, Messina presented Loggins with several songs that spilled over from his days with Poco and Buffalo Springfield. He felt Loggins could do both country rock and R&B styles exceptionally well, especially after hearing Loggins perform "Danny's Song."

Among the material Messina contributed was "Listen to a Country Song" (which would be a hit single for Lynn Anderson when she recorded it the following year), "Nobody But You," "Same Old Wine," and "The Trilogy," which included "Peace of Mind". He provided the rehearsal space, amps, and instruments and lent his talents as an arranger, vocalist, and guitarist. Messina worked long hours with Loggins and encouraged him to purchase an electric guitar and play it on his solo debut album.

Messina assembled "The Kenny Loggins Band" by summoning old friends drummer Merel Bregante and bassist/singer Larry Sims (both formerly of The Sunshine Company), multireedist/violinist Al Garth, multireedist Jon Clarke (performing with the Don Ellis Jazz Band) and a friend of Loggins, keyboardist Michael Omartian, who played on the album but dropped out once touring began. However, Omartian played on the next two albums and the ensemble was also augmented on each of their studio releases by Los Angeles-based session percussionist Milt Holland.

Though the album was initially intended to be Loggins' first solo album, the two decided that Messina's contribution was so substantial that the album was finally released as Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin' In in November 1971. Messina had been reluctant to perform and tour having begun collaborating with the sole interest of producing. Nonetheless, by the end of 1972, the group, now renamed "Loggins and Messina", had toured extensively and they would eventually sell over 20 million albums.

After the release of Sittin' In, Messina went on to write, perform and produce seven more albums with Loggins. Those albums were Loggins and Messina (1972), Full Sail (1973), On Stage (1974), Mother Lode (1974), So Fine (1975, a covers album), Native Sons (1976, their last studio release) and Finale (1977, released by Columbia after the duo's split).

Loggins ultimately decided to strike out on his own and in 1976 the duo split after a final concert in Hawaii. Both went on to solo careers.

Solo career, 1976–1993
In 1979, Messina met with Don Ellis (not to be confused with Don Ellis the jazz musician who recorded for the same label) of Columbia Records subsidiary A&R to plan his first solo album. He learned that Ellis did not like Messina's new musical direction, towards Latin jazz with a rock edge, because it did not sound like a Loggins and Messina album. Messina toured to support the debut LP, which sold 150,000 copies, about the same sales as Sittin' In. However, without the record company's support, the album stalled, peaking at #58 on the Billboard 200 so Messina asked Columbia Records president Bruce Lundvall for a release from the label. The album's single, "New and Different Way", slightly missed the Top 40 on the AC chart, peaking at #43.

In 1981, Messina signed with Warner Bros. Records and recorded and released his second solo effort, Messina, which included folk, rock, Latin and light jazz elements. The album featured singer Pauline Wilson, who sang a duet with Messina on "Stay the Night".

In 1983, Messina released his third solo album with Warner Bros., One More Mile. The album leaned more toward rock and Messina used several young and upcoming studio musicians as his rhythm section. The album also featured Edie Laymen and Pauline Wilson singing background and harmony parts. In the song "The Island", he shows his influence of slack key, a Hawaiian style of playing guitar.

In 1993, Brooks and Dunn recorded "Mexican Minutes" written by Messina and co-authored with Kent Robbins in Nashville.

Reunion tours
In 1989, Poco's original lineup (consisting of Messina, Richie Furay, Rusty Young, George Grantham, and Randy Meisner) regrouped for a successful reunion tour. That same year, they released the album Legacy. Messina played guitar and mandolin on the album. He wrote and sang on three of the songs: "Follow Your Dreams", "Look Within" and "Lovin' You Every Minute." He also co-wrote the song "Call It Love, " sung by Rusty Young. That song reached number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1989.

In 2005, Messina and Loggins hit the road as a duo again. They had a successful nationwide tour that produced a CD and DVD entitled Live: Sittin' In Again at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Messina also pulled from the vaults the original master analog recordings that he had produced and mixed for Loggins and Messina at Columbia Records, which were released as the 2005 digitally mastered compilation album The Best: Sittin' in Again. The duo reformed again in 2009 for an extensive tour.

Recent solo career
In 2009, Messina released the CD Under a Mojito Moon-Part 1, on which the only guitar he played was his flamenco guitar. The Latin-based arrangements feature trumpet, percussion, drums, piano, and nylon acoustic guitar in melodies reminiscent of the music of Cuba and Spain.

In 2012, Messina released the CD and DVD Jim Messina LIVE at the Clark Center for the Performing Arts containing songs by Buffalo Springfield, Poco, Loggins & Messina, and his solo material.

He continues to work in publishing, production, and electronics as a recording and mixing engineer and as a recording studio owner, as well as performing on tour.

He is both the creator and facilitator of "The Songwriters' Performance Workshop", wherein he leads 6-day intensive workshops for songwriters and singers at retreats, resorts, and hotels around the country.

Personal life and family
In 1970, Messina wed actress Jenny Sullivan but the marriage ended ten years later in 1980. They had no children. Messina has a son, recording engineer and musician Julian Messina (born 1992), from a relationship in the early 1990s. In 2001, Messina met his second wife, Michaela Laza Messina, an opera singer and a music teacher. They have a daughter, Josey (born 2006). Messina currently resides near Franklin, Tennessee.

Rhysling Award

The Rhysling Awards are an annual award given for the best science fiction, fantasy, or horror poem of the year. The award name was dubbed by Andrew Joron in reference to a character in a science fiction story: the blind poet Rhysling, in Robert A. Heinlein's short story "The Green Hills of Earth". The award is given in two categories: "Best Long Poem", for works of 50 or more lines, and "Best Short Poem", for works of 49 or fewer lines.

The nominees for each year's Rhysling Awards are chosen by the members of the Science Fiction Poetry Association (SFPA). Each member may nominate one work for each of the categories. The nominated works are then compiled into an anthology called The Rhysling Anthology, and members of the Association then vote on the final winners. From 2005 to 2011, the Awards were presented in July at a ceremony at Readercon. While the "Best Short Poem" category allows very short poems to be entered the SFPA also has the Dwarf Stars Award which is for poems from one to ten lines.

In 2005, the SFPA published an anthology of the winning poems, The Alchemy of Stars: Rhysling Award Winners Showcase.

Winners and Runners Up
From 1978 to 1994, only a first-place winner was awarded. In 1995, a number of runners up were named and in 1996, a number of "Honorable Mentions" were given. Since 1997, 2nd and 3rd place have also been honored, and from 2020 onward, "Honorable Mentions" have been mentioned once again.
