CW Pascal had focus till +/- MacOS 8. Classic Mac had huge parts of Pascal in it.

 * C interfaces were the norm since about 1989. Pascal interfaces were still maintained, but primarily Apple released C headers (Universal headers). All APIs used pascal calling conventions so they could be used from either language, and the C compiler was modified to recognise the PASCAL keyword and reorder function parameters accordingly. Certainly the Mac was programmed with Pascal conventions in mind in the early days, but in fact most of the actual OS code was hand-written assembler, using Pascal calling conventions. Later OS code was written in C and C++, using Pascal calling conventions so that Pascal users could still access it. The OS contained no "Pascal" at all, since that refers to source code. The object code was always 68000 machine code (on classic Mac) whatever the source code.Graham 02:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * While I can neither confirm nor deny, what is your source for the "no Pascal at all" claim? Stan 05:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, what I mean is that the OS doesn't have any Pascal "in it", which is what was claimed - it only "contains" machine code. No doubt some parts of it were written using a Pascal compiler, via the Lisa Workshop, though from reading Andy Hertzfeld's stories, and looking at some of the source code that Apple did release (the original WDEFs and I think CDEFs were actually released to developers as assembly source), the hand-written assembler claim is definitely true for significant parts of the OS. This might sound like hair-splitting, but if you look at what the original comment says, it says "[the OS] had huge parts of Pascal in it", which is obviously nonsense. Also, personally I stopped using (Turbo) Pascal to develop Mac apps around 1988, and switched over to THINK C. Apple started to release more and more headers as C headers with the Pascal ones supplied but gradually taking a lesser role. I'm not sure how many developers were still using Pascal by, say, 1994, but it can't have been very many. No-one I ever spoke to anyway. This was still very much in the System 7 days so while Pascal was supported, it didn't "have focus", whatever that is intended to mean. Graham 06:17, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This reminds me of why I've tended to hang back on Mac articles; there is lots to be said about each of your comments, but the published information is thin, and so there's very little concrete with which to replace speculation. Stan 15:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's hard to find sources for this stuff. Especially in 2006. Nevertheless, it is mostly true -- the Mac system software was not written in Pascal. Apple actually did their interfaces in a different format -- I think it was called Interfacer -- which was transformed to C, Pascal and Assembly headers. In the later days, Apple started getting really sloppy about the metadata needed to build the Pascal headers. --Steven Fisher 16:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

— Um, there is this assertion that CodeWarrior took off because of the culture. But perhaps it has more to do with the fact that they were the first compiler available that could easily target PowerPC applications for the Macintosh? I was a huge fan of the Symantec C++ offering, but when the PowerPC Macintosh systems came out, Symantec dropped the ball--and MPW was just too bloody hard to use. I switched to CodeWarrior around the DR3 release and never looked back. --William Woody 01:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Only IDE for symbian?
CodeWarriors seems to be the preeminent IDE for symbian development. Mathiastck 15:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Err I guess there are more alternatives then I thought :) http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/tools_and_sdks/#cpp Mathiastck 16:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Nokia purchased the rights to CodeWarrior for SymbianOS, purchased outright Metrowerk's x86 compiler and 24 Metrowerks staff. This technology evolved into Carbide.c++, Nokia's current C++ offering.  Carbide.c++ still has the Codewarrior debugger and x86 compiler technology.  75.34.96.94 01:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

OBSOLETE?
The information in this article is years out of date. The software is not available, is it? XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 32 or 64 bit? compatible? Based on some of the comments, the product this refers to is long gone. This fact should be reflected in the article introduction (if I'm correct)173.189.75.50 (talk) 17:35, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Just google for Codewarrior. The first link that comes up is the Freescale page where you can purchase it. It's still used for embedded systems development, as the article plainly states.108.20.143.186 (talk) 20:32, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

PowerPlant
The article should make some mention of the excellent PowerPlant C++ application framework, which (for me) was a major selling point. —MiguelMunoz (talk) 18:55, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Wayne Terwilliger

Willard Wayne Terwilliger (June 27, 1925 – February 3, 2021), nicknamed "Twig", was an American professional baseball second baseman. He played nine seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) between 1949 and 1960 for the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers, Washington Senators, New York Giants, and Kansas City Athletics.

Early life
Terwilliger grew up in Michigan. He joined the Marines in 1943 following his 18th birthday and served as a radioman on an amphibious tank in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

While overseas, Terwilliger served in Tinian and Iwo Jima, and had his tank destroyed at Saipan. "We were hit and the tank bogged down," he told The Sporting News on April 26, 1950. "We had to abandon the tank. Everybody scattered into the nearest fox holes. But at just about that time a [Japanese] tank rolled up and began blasting away. I knew I had to get out of there, so I ran for the beach, zigzagging in and out with the tank chasing me. I'm sure I'd be lying out there somewhere now if it hadn't been for one of our own tanks, which luckily showed up while I was doing all that broken field running."

Terwilliger was discharged in late 1945 and attended Western Michigan College, where he quickly became a star shortstop. As early as 1946, he was attracting attention from major league scouts, and St. Louis Browns' scout Jack Fournier was particularly keen to sign him.

Playing career
In 1948, after finishing college, Terwilliger was playing second base with the semi-pro Benton Harbor Buds when he was signed as a free agent in July by the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs assigned him to the Single-A Des Moines Bruins of the Western League, where he finished the season. In 1949, Terwilliger was promoted to the AAA Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League, where he batted .275 in 115 games, before being called up to the Cubs in August and playing in 36 games. Terwilliger spent the 1950 season as the Cubs' starting second baseman, hitting .242 with 10 home runs, 32 RBI, and 13 stolen bases. However, after getting off to a poor start to the 1951 season, Terwilliger was included in a trade that sent outfielder Andy Pafko, pitcher Johnny Schmitz, and catcher Rube Walker to the Brooklyn Dodgers for catcher Bruce Edwards, pitcher Joe Hatten, outfielder Gene Hermanski and infielder Eddie Miksis.

After spending the 1952 season with the AAA St. Paul Saints, Terwilliger was claimed off waivers by the Washington Senators following the 1952 season and spent the next two seasons as the Senators' second baseman. Prior to the start of the 1955 season, Terwilliger switched teams again after the New York Giants purchased him from the Senators. He spent the 1955 and '56 seasons shuttling between New York and AAA Minneapolis and the entire 1957 season at AAA. Following the 1957 season, he was traded to the Detroit Tigers in a swap for fellow journeymen infielder Jack Dittmer.

After spending 1958 with the Tigers' AAA Charleston Senators, he was acquired by the Kansas City A's from the Detroit Tigers in the December 1958 Rule 5 draft. In 1959, Terwilliger saw his last large stretch of time in the majors, playing 74 games at second and shortstop for the A's. After starting the 1960 season with the A's, Terwilliger was unofficially traded to the New York Yankees, a transaction that was common at the time between the two teams when the Yankees were accused of using the A's as a major league farm club and the two teams often seemed to have mutual rights to each other's players, and played the rest of the season at AAA Richmond Virginians before retiring as a full-time player.

In 666 games over nine seasons, Terwilliger posted a .240 batting average (501-for-2091) with 271 runs, 22 home runs, 162 RBI and 247 bases on balls. Defensively, he recorded a .974 fielding percentage playing primarily at second base.

Coaching career
After his playing days were over, Terwilliger started a successful career as coach and minor-league manager in the Yankees' organization with the Greensboro Yankees of the B-level Carolina League. After taking the 1962 season off, Terwilliger would be hired by the Washington Senators to manage their single-A team, the Wisconsin Rapids Senators in the Midwest League. He would spend the following six seasons managing in the Senators organization, the last two at AAA.

Under manager Ted Williams, Terwilliger was the third-base coach of the Senators from 1969 to 1971 and of the Texas Rangers in their first season, 1972. Following the season, Terwilliger was let go by the Rangers, following Williams' retirement, and would manage the Houston Astros' AA Columbus Astros in 1973 and Texas' single-A Lynchburg Rangers in 1975 before spending the next four seasons managing the single-A Asheville Tourists. In 1980, he was hired as the manager of Texas' AA Tulsa Drillers.

Terwilliger returned as a major league coach after being hired to Don Zimmer's 1981 Rangers staff and would stay with the team for four years. He would coach first for Zimmer, and then Darrell Johnson, Doug Rader, and Bobby Valentine. In 1986, he was hired as first-base coach on Ray Miller's Minnesota Twins staff. He would stay on with rookie manager Tom Kelly, handling the job when the team won the World Series in 1987 and 1991 before leaving following the 1994 season.

Staying in Minnesota, Terwilliger returned to the St. Paul Saints in 1995, this time as the first-base coach of the team in the independent Northern League. He would remain with the team until 2002.

In 2003, Terwilliger would be named manager of the Fort Worth Cats in the independent Central Baseball League, and won the 2005 Central League championship. After retiring from managing following the end of the 2005 season, Terwilliger accepted the position as first-base coach for the Cats, at the age of 81, and remained with the team in the new American Association through the 2010 season.

Throughout his career, Terwilliger managed 12 minor-league teams and compiled a record of 1,224 wins and 1,089 losses. In 2006, Terwilliger's autobiography, Terwilliger Bunts One, which drew its title from Annie Dillard's essay on how her mother turned that phrase into a mantra, was released.

Personal life
Terwilliger married twice. He first married Mary Jane Locke with whom he had a son, Steve, and a daughter, Marcie. His second wife's name was Linda. Terwilliger died in Weatherford, Texas, on February 3, 2021, at the age of 95. He had been getting treatment for bladder cancer, but the cause of death was not given.

Lake Las Vegas

Lake Las Vegas is a 320 acre reservoir in Henderson, Nevada with a 3592 acre developed area around it. The area is sometimes referred to as the Lake Las Vegas Resort. It is being developed by 5 companies including Lake at Las Vegas Joint Venture LLC.

The area includes three resorts including the Aston MonteLago Village Resort, the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort, and the Hilton Lake Las Vegas.

Overview
The earthen impoundment that forms the reservoir is 192 ft tall, 4800 ft in length, and 716 ft wide at its base. It contains roughly the same amount of dirt as Hoover Dam does concrete, and impounds 10000 acre-feet of water. Since the reservoir was built in the channel of the Las Vegas Wash — the valley's only storm runoff outlet — A bypass was built for the wash beneath the reservoir and dam allowing it to remain connected to Lake Mead via two 84 in diameter pipes. After falling into substantial disrepair, the pipes — which are owned by the city of Henderson, but maintained by the resort — were repaired in 2009 at a cost of $3 million. Above the entrance to the bypass is a flood control structure, which permit excess flood waters of the Las Vegas Wash to be diverted into Lake Las Vegas.

History
Circa 1965 J. Carlton Adair, acting for The Port Holiday Authority, acquired 160 acres on the shore of Lake Mead within the National Park Service (NPS) boundary. This was land that was overlooked and not acquired by the government for the Lake Mead impoundment. The NPS had serious objections to Adair's planned resort development and attempted to block his entry. Eventually legislation was passed in congress to facilitate a land exchange. Adair would exchange the Lake Mead shoreline acreage for 2243 acres of land in the Las Vegas Wash abbutting the NPS. The exchange was for the express purpose of construction of a dam and lake with resorts. This project was to be called Lake Adair. The land was annexed into the city of Henderson, and legislation was passed by the Nevada legislature that would change the name of Henderson to the City of Lake Adair when the lake was filled. In 1967 Adair hired Tipton and Kalmbach (T&K)to design the dam and bypass pipelines for Lake Adair but was unable to obtain sufficient financing. He split the property into small "shares" in exchange for deposits. Barry Silverton (Pacific Malibu Development Corporation) met with the now numerous land owners and reassembled the project as Lake At Las Vegas. Silverton began the planning, permitting and design process and retained T&K to update the design for the dam and bypass pipeline system. Unable to find financing for the project, in 1987 Silverton sold controlling shares of the project to Transcontinental Properties run by Ronald Boeddeker. Silverton was finally bought out by Transcontinental Properties. Transcontinental Properties continued the arduous approval process for construction of the dam and bypass system. The project had many political opponents with clout at high levels.

Washington Construction was hired as the prime contractor for the project which was to be a Union project. The twin 84" Dia Bypass pipes are reinforced concrete manufactured by hydroconduit in Henderson Nv. Finally, in 1991, following the State Engineers final inspection of the dam, diversion began through the WWII era BMI pipeline to provide raw Lake Mead water to fill the reservoir.   The State Engineer, Mike Turnipseed, approved the application by Steve Ainsworth, LLV Chief Project Engineer, on behalf of LLV, for 2000 Acre-Feet per year of stormwater rights.  This permitted LLV to replace evaporation losses with runoff during storms.  All stormwater runnoff would otherwise be lost to the State on Nevada when it entered Lake Mead and the Colorado River, which are federal waters.

In 1995, Henry Gluck, the former chairman and chief executive officer of Caesars World, became the co-Chairman of Transcontinental Properties. With Sid Bass and Lee Bass, two billionaires from Fort Worth, Texas, he developed the new community. The project cost US $5 billion.

Lake at Las Vegas Joint Venture, LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 17, 2008, with their debts estimated at between $500 million and $1 billion. Lake Las Vegas emerged from bankruptcy in July 2010 with a plan that took nearly two years to complete. All existing debt was wiped away and the development has $30 million in hand to complete several of the unfinished infrastructure projects. The Lake Las Vegas bankruptcy creditors, not Lake Las Vegas development themselves, have filed a lawsuit against the former insiders (Bass Brothers, TransContinental, etc.). The creditors' theory is that the $500 million equity loan the former insiders took against the property caused the demise of Lake Las Vegas. The creditors are hoping to recoup money from the former insiders. In a related action, resort property owners are suing lender Credit Suisse as part of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit led by bankrupt Yellowstone Club founder Timothy Blixseth and his son Beau Blixseth who claim the Lake Las Vegas Joint Venture bankruptcy was caused by a "loan to own" scheme between the bank and resort developers. The golf course was purchased by Nevada South Shore LLC, a Hawaii-based corporation for $4.5 million on February 17, 2011. The Ritz Carlton, Lake Las Vegas, closed after 8 years of operation on May 2, 2010. The Ritz Carlton was then reopened by international boutique hotelier Dolce Hotels on February 11, 2011, as the Ravella at Lake Las Vegas. On April 30, 2013, Kam Sang Co. announced that the Ravella would be renamed the Hilton Lake Las Vegas, the name under which the hotel continues to operate. The Hilton opened June 6, 2013.

Lake Las Vegas was the subject of a lawsuit between investment fund Claymore Holdings and Credit Suisse, which was the agent for a syndicate of entities that loaned $540 million to develop the property. Claymore and others accused Credit Suisse of fraudulently inflating the value of the development in order to generate higher fees for itself. The core of the allegations centered on a new appraisal methodology conceived of by Credit Suisse executive David Miller, who in internal emails is referred to as Credit Suisse's Dr. Frankenstein. In 2015, a Texas judge ordered Credit Suisse to pay $288 million to Highland, Claymore and others. The verdict was partially offset by other payments to Highland, meaning that Claymore received most of the Credit Suisse judgment. That Judgment was reversed by the Texas Supreme Court in April 2020, and Claymore's Judgment was reduced to $26 million (plus interest).

Casino MonteLago/Lake Las Vegas Event Center
Casino MonteLago was opened on May 8, 2003, having been built by Cook Inlet Region, Inc., an Alaska Native shareholder owned corporation. The casino closed for the first time on March 14, 2010, due to the Great Recession; but on May 26, 2011, after renovation, the casino re-opened to the public.

Priscilla Barnes

Priscilla Barnes (born 1954 (age 27) ) is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Terri Alden in the ABC sitcom Three's Company between 1981 and 1984. Barnes also has appeared in films, including A Vacation in Hell (1979), Licence to Kill (1989), Stepfather III (1992), The Crossing Guard (1995), Mallrats (1995), The Devil's Rejects (2005) and The Visitation (2006). From 2014 to 2019, Barnes played Magda Andel in the CW comedy-drama series Jane the Virgin.

Early life
Barnes was born in Fort Dix, New Jersey, the third of four children of a father who was a major in the United States Air Force and a mother who was a homemaker. Her childhood was marked by a series of moves across military bases throughout the country before her family settled in Lancaster, California. After graduating from Antelope Valley High School at age 17, Barnes relocated to San Diego, working as a waitress and a dancer.

Early career
Barnes' first break came when Bob Hope saw her in a local fashion show and invited her to join his troupe for a 1973 performance at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. She subsequently moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in showbusiness. She appeared as an Amazon in The New Original Wonder Woman alongside Lynda Carter as the title character. Her second break came at 19 when she met Peter Falk, who offered her a one-line part in an episode of Columbo. This led to a series of bit parts in films such as The Seniors (1978) and Delta Fox (1979).

While working as a hostess at a Hollywood nightclub, Barnes posed nude for the "Pet of the Month" photo layout in the March 1976 issue of Penthouse magazine under the pseudonym Joann Witty. Penthouse later wanted to republish the photos under Barnes' real name in 1982 after she had become famous for Three's Company. The issue was argued in court, as Penthouse wanted a judge to rule on the legality of publishing the pictures using Barnes' real name. The case involved a handwritten addendum to the standard model release contract that all models sign. When Penthouse lost the initial case, it appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The appellate court mostly sided with Barnes and ruled that the handwritten addendum was legally binding, precluding Penthouse from republishing the photos using Barnes' real name.

In 1976, Barnes began studying acting with coach Sal Dano, whose students included Tom Selleck, Robert Hays and Catherine Bach. In 1978, she played a leading role in the CBS action series The American Girls, which was canceled after seven weeks. Subsequent parts included the horror film Tintorera and television series such as Starsky & Hutch, Vega$, Kojak, The Rockford Files and The Love Boat, as well as the 1978 TV version of The Time Machine and the 1979 television film A Vacation in Hell. In 1980, Barnes landed a supporting role in the romantic comedy film Sunday Lovers.

Three's Company
In 1981, Barnes was cast as Terri Alden on the ABC sitcom Three's Company after Jenilee Harrison served as interim replacement to Suzanne Somers, who had left the series as a result of contractual dispute with producers. The part, which is Barnes' most notable role, brought her instant public recognition. Barnes initially auditioned for the role of Chrissy Snow in 1976 but lost the part to Somers. She stayed with the show through the series finale in 1984, appearing in a total of 70 episodes.

In the 1998 TV program E! True Hollywood Story, Barnes called Three's Company the "three worst years" of her life. She revealed that after shooting the first few episodes, she felt "uncomfortable" on the set, mostly because of tension among the cast members, and unsuccessfully petitioned the producers to release her from her contract. Barnes has retained her friendship with costars Joyce DeWitt and Richard Kline, with whom she has made public appearances. Barnes was portrayed by actress Anne Ross in the 2003 television movie Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Three's Company.

Later career
In 1982, Barnes starred in the Aaron Spelling made-for-television film The Wild Women of Chastity Gulch. After Three's Company was canceled by ABC in 1984, Barnes accepted guest-starring roles on television shows such as Hotel, Murder, She Wrote and Highway to Heaven. In 1987, she starred in the pilot for the sitcom She's the Sheriff, playing the title role. Barnes later left the project and was replaced by Suzanne Somers. The following year, Barnes returned in a starring role in the action comedy Traxx opposite Shadoe Stevens.

In 1989, Barnes appeared in the James Bond film Licence to Kill as Della Churchill and in the underwater sci-fi/action thriller Lords of the Deep. In 1992, she starred in the NBC television movie Perry Mason and the Case of the Reckless Romeo with Raymond Burr and in the horror film Stepfather III. In 1995, she appeared in the cult comedy film Mallrats and in The Crossing Guard with Jack Nicholson. Barnes made a cameo appearance in the 1999 comedy-drama film Mumford and appeared in many other smaller independent and made-for-television movies during 1990s and 2000s. She appeared in the 2005 horror film The Devil's Rejects, directed by Rob Zombie. and the films Thr3e (2006), The Visitation (2006) and American Cowslip (2009). In 2012, she costarred as Vicey Hatfield in Hatfields and McCoys: Bad Blood. In 2013, she appeared in Disaster Wars: Earthquake vs Tsunami. In 2007, Barnes appeared at the annual New York International Fringe Festival as Hillary Clinton in Nick Salamone's play Hillary Agonistes.

In 2014, Barnes was cast in a recurring role as Magda Andel, the mother of Petra (played by Yael Grobglas), in the CW comedy-drama series Jane the Virgin. The series ended in 2019 after five seasons. Barnes appeared in a total of 41 episodes. In 2019, Barnes appeared in the Bloomington Playwrights Project's production of Christy Hall's To Quiet the Quiet.

Personal life
Barnes married actor Ted Monte.

Talk:Michelle Williams (singer)

Vocal Profile
Michelle is a mezzo soprano, however she has a high vocal range and is comfortable as both a soprano and alto. Michelle's a whistle register singer?

 * Funny that she's listed as a whistle register singer...as well as an ALTO!!! On which songs has anyone heard her sing that high?

 * Michelle has a high head voice which she showed on making of "Stand Up for Love". The video is no longer on Youtube. Beyonce was even impressed when she performed in her head voice but it never made the final cut. Michelle is actually not a mezzo soprano, but a spinto. Its PUSHED. Her voice isnt thick enough for a mezzo.
 * Alto is her tessitura (technically, she is a mezzo-soprano, see def....) It doesn't mean she can't have extension that is capable of going that high.  Blu Cantrell is another example of this. Antares33712 14:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Michelle has a great voice I have her CD and to this day it is still my favorite. Now that the girls are going to do solo projects I think that Michelle and the girls have the potential to be as big as Micheal Jackson. I wish them the very best and hopefully there will be another Destiny's Child album. Listen to Bootylicious. She squeaks up high at the end.

 * Thats not really singing though. IF shes notes for that then so should Hilary Duff. Myke 02:37, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * That's the only way she qualifies vocally that I have heard.  I thought it was based on ability to hit the notes.  I believe she can high a Soprano High E.  If we are looking for actual high notes in a song, since we can't keep Reese witherspoon on the cat (who always squeals crystallinely on some high open vowel), she would need to go :-( Antares33712 14:13, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I've seen her perform live during the 2005 World Tour with Beyonce and that made me notice her voice alot better. Her voice is very powerful and she was singing in chest like atleast E5 very strongly. But i still have yet to hear her sing above E6. There should vocal profile on her. From There #1 Fan: Bianca J.B.

 * Michelle is Dramatic-Soprano F3,(A6-A7) as her mainstream vocals, but Michelle can also reach E4-6 notes Eduemoni 17:46, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Who said anything about an E6? Highest I've heard her do is F#5, no higher. If I'm wrong, was the execution in head voice or falsetto?--VN07 02:21, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Michelle can actually sing from an A2 right to Eb6 and has exclaimed a G6 - so yes she has whistle register and a fine head voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM7GXpGonqQ (A2-G6). She sang the Eb6 while co-hosting Choice FM - here is the link http://www.zshare.net/audio/8361617737a788c6/ (she starts around 16:10) JonathanLGardner (talk) 21:04, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Year Born
The article says Williams was born in 1980 but she appears in the 1981 birthday list. PedanticallySpeaking 17:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Not now she doesn't. But a good 'pedantic' point nevertheless.
 * Derek R Bullamore 23:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone placed her birth year as 1979. She was born in 1980. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.87.180.63 (talk) 04:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Grammy Awards
Since Michelle Williams joined Destiny Child's prior to the group's two Grammy wins in 2000, didn't she receive her own awards two? She was officially a member by that time. If so that would make her Grammy wins with Destiny's Child three instead of one. TJ 06:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Her bio on her official site, michellewilliamsonline.com states she has multiple Grammy awards. I'm changing it to three unless someone else can find some information that states Michelle didn't receive awards for the 2000 Grammy wins.TJ 06:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * According to the official Grammy Awards site, she has won just one Grammy, for Destiny's Child's album Survivor. -- Donald Albury 12:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Michelle only receives one Grammy Award with Destiny's Child because she didn't contribute to the projects that the group won their first two Grammys for. She didn't record with Destiny's Child until the Survivor album, when they won for Independent Women, so she doesn't get a Grammy for the other two.  LeToya and LaTavia did, I think, even though they left the group.24.164.197.116 02:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

That would be correct. She doesn't receive a Grammy for appearing in music videos and joining a group who receives a Grammy for an album she had no partaking in whatsoever. She would have actually received a Grammy for "Independent Women" from "Survivor" since that's the first album she recorded with Destiny's Child.

So according to the WP page, Michelle's new album comes out this fall but according to Michelle's MySpace blog, she specifically stated that was false info and the album, indeed, is coming out 8/12. Now Amazon is listing the release date as October...so is the advertising on her MySpace page. Do we have sources? Jgcarter (talk) 01:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Michelle Williams in an Uber ad
Michelle Williams Jokes It's 'Disappointing' People Don't Recognize Her from Destiny's Child in New Uber One Ad. By Jack Irvin

Talk:Blu Cantrell

Vocal Profile
which song Blu Cantrell hits B6?? Some singers have just their notes but I wanna know in what music they hit them... There's just the notes and octaves of some singers in their respective pages, but I would like to know in what songs they hit their highest and lowest notes... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gubel (talk • contribs)

Whistle note
Blu hits her highest note in the song "waste my time". It's gotta be close to or in the seventh octave i'm sure. It was very high. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.116.139 (talk • contribs)

 * Its Bb6. Well in the whistle register Myke 07:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

 * B6 actually and therefore she doesnt belong in the seventh octave category if she hasnt actually displayed a note in the 7th octave so please dont keep putting her in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.195.85.42 (talk • contribs)

 * IMDB says seventh octave, so thats why we are listing her in the seventh! Antares33712 04:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

 * She hasnt hit a seventh octave note though as the only one that shes ever hit was a B6. She doesnt belong in the seventh octave category just like Mariah isnt credited with an 8 octave voice which is published in some sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.194.152 (talk • contribs)

 * Its Bb6. The whistle notes she hits are: G#6, Bb6, G6, G#6, F6. In that order. I still think her whistle is one of the nicest. Myke 08:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Whistle-tone, part 2
I removed a reference to whistle-tone Blu supposedly uses in an unreleased song because there is no proof provided that the song even exists, let alone her use of whistle-tone. Then I noticed a bit of a debate going on in the page's history...I still think it doesn't belong in the article without a citation, as it's not common knowledge. Putting a {fact} tag on it doesn't increase its legitimacy. In my opinion, it compromises the integrity of the page. But I'm aware the debate isn't settled; this is just my two cents. --Marysunshine 18:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Infact, it's quite simple, thanks to WP:LIVING - if you cannot verify something for a living person, it cannot be in the article. LinaMishima 03:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Past
Rumors are that she previously was a pornstar before becoming a singer. This was apparently in the 90's and 80's. This needs to be verified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.80.222.211 (talk • contribs)

 * Porn is porn. People love to try and pretty up low-down behavior these days by changing the name.  When you spread em, it's porn.--71.235.81.39 17:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Seventh Octave and Whistle Register
In the opening track, "Waste My Time" from her debut album, So Blu.[1] Cantrell hits notes in the seventh octave. According to an interview with Neil McCormick at smh.com.au, Cantrell mentions she has a 5 octave range, as well as her struggles to get noticed in the music business, "I'd get on stage and I'd sing and hit five octaves. I coulda did a backwards flip and they woulda sat there and gone, 'Hmm, I don't know!'

The first sentence in the above is 'original research' and not referenced by an official source. Furthermore, one of the criteria to be on the seventh octave list is that the person has to have multiple recordings displaying such ability. I am also not pleased with the second sentence because it was Blu herself who declared that she has hit 5 octaves and not the interviewer him/herself declaring this. Until more suitable information is available I do not think Blu's name is to be readded. ke'ke  10/30/06   7:28am —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.213.98.17 (talk • contribs)

Blu Cantrell(Birth Date)
i'm fed up typing the same thing over and over would you just change it, it's getting frustrating and annoying.

you clearly know less about her than i do and you already use MY site as a source, i don't understand your logic.

here is what i said earlier(yes i saved it because i knew you what your like and would delete it)

Blu Cantrell's birthday is wrong for about the one-hundredth time! she was born on: 16th of March, 1976 which makes her a Pisces and the age of 31.

On Blus OFFICIAL MYSPACE (not the one you can find on google btw..its fake) she has age down as 91..wonder why (let me tell you, since i have no doubt you can't work it out) because the month and the day are correct but she changed the year.

also since 2004 agencys like wireimage and filmmagic have photoed her at her bithday party(s) oh and guess what it was in March.

wiki you need to get your act together..getting simple facts wrong like an artists birthday wrong then ignoring it when a fan tells you, is why you will never be a creditable source.

oh and to further my proof (since i have no doubt you will choose to ignore this as well) here is a cap from Blu's OFFICIAL MYSPACE [URL=http://img185.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=49924_cap_122_215lo.jpg][IMG]http://img185.imagevenue.com/loc215/th_49924_cap_122_215lo.jpg[/IMG][/URL] get your act together wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.42.98 (talk • contribs)

 * UPDATE!i have FOUND the video of where Blu tells photographers her birthday (16th of March, 1976) shall i upload it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

From her Mother's mouth, artist-author Susi Franco: Blu Cantrell, nee Tiffany LEE ( NOT Cobb, Cobb was her mother's maiden name, is NOT her legal name no matter what you read/heard/or from whom) was born NOT in 1976 but 1973. She is the oldest daughter of 6 children, has a brother aged 41 and a sister aged 37 whom she is between in terms of birth order. She was born NOT in RI but WV. She subsequently moved to RI with her family and was raised there.These facts are easily proven via Bureau of Vital Statistics in Charleston, WV, all of which is in the domain of public information. Birth dates & Bio info conflicting with the true facts were generated by PR at Arista Records ( also verifiable) and have a passing relationship to reality. Ms Cantrell said what she was told to say; PR feared her true age would lose some of her demographic and therefore money out of thier pockets so they altered her information.

Blu Cantrell WAS born March 16th, 1973. She has NEVER been a "porno star". She did pose for pix for Black Tail, back when she lived in the Big Apple and was sharing a tiny apt with 5 other people, sleeping on the floor and pretty much starving.She sometimes worked in a salon sweeping up other people's hair and doing grunt work, so she could have a few dollars in her pocket. Care packages from home were often all she had to eat for days at a time. The photos were offered to her and she called her Mom crying, asking for advice. Doing the shoot meant being able to remain in NY and continue working, which eventually got her the gig doing back-up for Puffy and Faith Evans. Had she given up and gone home, there'd likely have been no "Hit 'Em Up Style". It was an excruciatingly difficult decision for her to make, but she made it so she could remain in NY and sing.Her Mother gently cautioned her that such photos could come back to haunt her someday, but told her to do what she felt was best for her, what she felt she could live with. Blu made her choice and three Grammy noms later, it appears to've been the right thing for her at that time. It was a matter of survival, NOT a career choice.

 * Blu Cantrell is not bi-sexual, has never been in her life and such idle gossip serves no real purpose other than to cater to a negative agenda for those who wish to cast shadowy speculation on her personal life.

 * Her voice is a highly refined instrument and she works very hard to maintain that level of excellence. These questions and comments about "seventh octave" notes lean toward the inane.The true full range of her voice is best witnessed at a live concert, where no A&R guys are editing. She does indeed have a (minimum)five octave range and if you have any musical training at all and listen to her entire discography you will hear it for yourself. There are several songs you can hear her "whistle-tones" in, for those who care about such things. Most of the comments here towards the whistle tone issue are made by those who wish to give the appearance of being an audiophile expert of some sort and have no bearing whatever on the quality of Blu Cantrell's recordings, which are still being played,still generating royalties for Ms Cantrell.

 * This information has been left here by a first degree blood relative of Blu Cantrell who can verify every single syllable.Her entire family is disgusted by some of the comments made by the uninformed who use Blu's name to appear informed; we are all weary of the garbage and would sincerely appreciate it if you could limit yourselves to buying her albums, attending her shows, enjoying her gift without acting upon a need to also tear her down.None of you really know much of anything real about her, other than rumors you've picked up or generated. Most readers here have no clue how long and hard she labored, how difficult it was growing up as a mixed-race child, what she has sacrificed to have the career she has had, how she has had to hold her head up and go on despite vicious remarks or how courageous she remains, in the face of uphill challenges that would certainly break a lesser woman. She has endured a life that has bowed her but not broken her.From her family who loves her, please find someone else to cast aspersions upon; you have no idea what a loving, kind and remarkable young woman she is. Some of these comments are abrasive, offensive and ignorant to the extreme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhoenixWmn (talk • contribs)

 * finally someone with who knows how it really is! i as a fan appreciate your post, and though i try and avoid the whole issue with the photos (not that i think there is anything wrong with it btw) i just don't think its relevant to what Blu is about now ie singing and now acting.

 * btw since your a family member or close friend i don't suppose you know anything about her up-coming album do you? i'm dying for it lol! http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608003854/Blu-Cantrell.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.17.249 (talk) 02:22, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

She doesn't have an upcoming album as of Dec 21, 2011. Soon she will be ready to return to the industry and will be actively working on a new album. I can't give you a hard date for that but will say material is being previewed as of this writing. I noted your entry was unsigned, usually the hallmark of a coward or crank.

Discography
I'm pretty sure Cantrell collaborated with Mondo Grosso sometime in 2003 for his song "Blaze it up"(part of "Next wave" album). Where would I put this? Song appearances?... Though she's really the only person singing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NsdrNPC (talk • contribs) 08:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Celebrity Circus
Blu is starring in a new show for NBC called Celebrity Circus. I doubt she'll be doing much singing but I bet she'll hit a few high notes swinging from a trapeeze. It looks really funny...NBC.com has clips from the show. I'll be watching...it debuts Wednesday June 11th at 9:30pm. Check it out! 65.115.116.11 (talk) 18:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Celebrity Circus Update (?)
Just saw her perform on CC (finale). Probably appropriate to add a mention to the paragraph about her involvement in the finale (for completeness), if someone can identify the song she sang.--CheMechanical (talk) 05:11, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Plan for Establishing Uniformity in the Coinage, Weights, and Measures of the United States is seriously long. The Jefferson report, referenced here, would be a lot shorter. Otr500 (talk) 02:26, 29 September 2011 (UTC) this is no longer one of the constituion Bold text

Congress and standard measurements in law
I realize it's hard to cite a negative, but could someone back up the claim that congress has never taken up standard measurements? --24.252.51.229 (talk) 21:55, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Just edited the page to address this exact point, among others. Congress has officially designated units of measure, but piecemeal--nothing like Jefferson's grand unified proposals. Pfly (talk) 06:03, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

What Latitude - Really?
At one point the article states the seconds pendulum is at 45N, and at another point "the latitude of Paris." Paris is at nearly 49N, while Bordeaux in southern France is closer to 45N. So which was it? 45N, or the latitude of Paris? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.71.254.248 (talk) 22:06, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Pendulum vs Meridian
"This and other developments changed what had promised to be an internationally developed system into a strictly French project." I am confused by this sentence as at least for me it's open for 2 ways of interpretation: 1. The Act itself of Measuring the meter for the first time was restricted to France. - Kind of, yes as the length of the meridian was being exactly measured in France. But no one would have stopped Jefferson or the US to do the measurement in their country as well 2. The Measurement of the Meter was based on something exclusive to France. - That's a clear no. They changed from the rod to the meridian BECAUSE with the rod it would be limited to measure the meter solely at a certain latitude (45 N) while the length of the meridian is always the same on the globe and it can be measured from any location (Modern Sciences tells us that the earth is not a perfect ball, so this is actually not possible). The idea behind the decision was therefore not to restrict it to France but to open it up even further. LordMoff (talk) 01:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
