This article does not exist for the purpose of advertising for any candidate for political office. The external link to the democratic candidate Christine Cegelis's website is inappropriate. I find it interesting that Goethean, who on his user page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Goethean seems to be SO concerned about being neutral, found it necessary to include it. Where is the link to the republican candidate's web site? I have decided the only neutral thing to do is to delete it again.

Picture
I reverted the deletion of the picture of Hyde & Snodgrass. There was no reason given for its deletion on the talk page. Also it was not described in the edit summary. If there was a valid reason for its removal, please let me know. Otherwise, I think it should remain. 01:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That's a great picture--it's a classic, I remember seeing it in his office. EZZIE 08:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Hyde
People under-rate this guy, he's one of the best "old school" reps left in the entire house. (repost of deleted comments) EZZIE 07:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

From here:
 * Wikipedians generally oppose the use of talk pages just for the purpose of partisan talk about the main subject. Wikipedia is not a soapbox; it's an encyclopedia. In other words, talk about the article, not about the subject. It's only the habits we encourage that keep Wikipedia from turning into a slanging match. See also: Wikiquette

 * I understand where you guys are coming from on this, but discussing the subject matter is just as necessary as discussing the article on the subject matter... but that's my belief. EZZIE 06:47, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is not a chat room or USENET. I could give my views on Hyde — which differ diametrically from yours — and then we could get into a shouting match. But I don't misuse Wikipedia by expressing my views on subjects here, only on articles. I request that you show a little bit of respect for this website by doing the same. — goethean ॐ

 * Agreed. Wikipedia isn't a place to chat it up or discuss anything not having to do with the article itself --OMG LAZERS 16:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Washington Times
This paragraph needs a citation. Also, did it the Times really endorse Hyde to succeed Hastert, when he'd already announced his retirement? That doesn't make a lot of sense. -Pete 10:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Remarried?
I removed the statement in the infobox that said Hyde remarried in December 2006. I scoured the Web and also ran a search on ProQuest and found no mentions of Hyde getting married. If he actually did, a reference confirming it should be added to the article. Dce7 06:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hydesnodgrass.jpg
Image:Hydesnodgrass.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The Alec Baldwin Death Threat
This should be better noted with the citation of the Washington Times article dated, January 25, 2001 by Tom Knott, titled - "Member of Hyde family lives in fear of Alec Baldwin"

The news article noted this direct quote by Alec Baldwin on the Conan O'Brien Show:

''"I'm thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would, all right now, all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death," Mr. Baldwin said two years ago. "We would stone him to death. (Crowd cheers.) Wait. Shut up. Shut up. No, shut up. I'm not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we'd kill their wives, and their children. We would kill their families."''

I am looking for others right now, but the point is Mr Baldwin was not "tongue-in-cheek" but his threat was serious, with long term consequences for Hyde and his family. This makes it notable and should be included.Willie Peter 00:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm undoing the most recent edit. It attributes seriousness to him in a way that article source (which I have read) doesn't. It is therefore unsourced and a BLP issue and must be removed. It is possible to use other material in that or another source, but such cites must be faithful to what is contained in the source.--Chaser - T 16:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC) modified -Chaser - T 18:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

JSF Technology Transfer
Hyde was largely responsible for blocking British access to some F-35 Lightning II technology which threatened to scupper British participation in the project. i think it is worth a mention in his political career but i don't know enough to write an authoratative edit.

Hyde Act
Is there no mention of the major foreign policy legislation in the Hyde AcT? Lihaas (talk) 02:03, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

POV tag/Article bias
I added the POV tag to the top of this article. My complaint concerns the treatment of Hyde's role in the Congressional investigation into the Iran-Contra affair. The article makes Hyde a principal in a conspiracy to protect President Reagan and Vice-President Bush from the consequences of the drug crimes they knowingly set into motion. This claim is tendentious and extraordinary, and is supported only by one article, written by a fringe journalist. I propose that this section should either be expanded to take more conventional interpretations of Hyde's role into account -- and frankly, his name doesn't often come up in the literature as a significant player -- or removed entirely. Innocent76 (talk) 00:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I believe there are multiple reliable sources citing Hyde's role in the Congressional investigation into the Iran-Contra affair. For instance: "During the Iran-Contra controversy in 1987, Hyde was one of the administration's most vehement defenders, arguing tirelessly that though the secret and illegal means used by the administration in its determination to fund the Nicaraguan contras were "wrong and bad and blameworthy," they were justified by the end: "the Nicaraguan resistance survived." In fact, Hyde made his defense of government secrecy a matter of general principle, arguing in a June 1987 Washington Post Op-Ed that it was dangerous to trust "the Hill's loose lips" on matters of national security. "Within Congress at large," Hyde wrote, "there is a widespread and often naive suspicion of both secrecy and covert actions. In these circumstances, it is small wonder that the administration has become convinced that controversial programs will be leaked." Propol (talk) 17:35, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * One miserable cite from a obscure Washington news blog don't qualify as reliable source WP:BLPSTYLE for your contention that Hyde was a major figure in Iran-contra. Orangejumpsuit (talk) 23:20, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it's hard to argue with an Op-Ed written by Hyde himself that appeared in the Washington Post. That certainly qualifies as a reliable source. I've never contended that Hyde was directly involved in Iran Contra (nor does the article), but it is pretty clear that he played a leading role in the related hearings. Propol (talk) 14:25, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think your contention is not correct. Where is this "Op-Ed" in the Washington post?   Besides, Hyde's involvement is minor, and don't constitute a major and notable part of Hyde's bio., unless you believe loading up Republican office holder's bio's with any negative spin you can find is consistent with WP:BLP. My standards for content, for this bio is found on the Obama's bio and what was left out and put in.  Whats good for the democrat is good for the republican, yes?  Fair is fair.Orangejumpsuit (talk) 18:21, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've restored the WP:POINTy deletion of the Iran Contra paragraph and added a New York Times citation. It's not well written, misses the point partly, and needs to be cleaned up, but Hyde's actively defending the Reagan Administration from blame in the Iran-Contra investigation is very well known, thoroughly sourced by many articles at the time and through today, and a fairly significant part of his contribution to American politics.  We can discount orangejumpsuit's participation here - that is simple disruption.  The POV tag should be removed too unless you have a specific complaint and a proposal to solve it. Wikidemon (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I have restored the original due to the fact it was unbalanced and was inconsistent in comparing this bio to other political bios on wikipeida, most notable the Barak Obama bio.Orangejumpsuit (talk) 02:48, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * At this point it is simple disruption. I will file a WP:AN/I report on this editor, and restore the material once we have the behavioral issues under control.  Again, anyone who can further improve the tone, sourcing, etc., of the section on Hyde's involvement in the Iran Contra investigation would be most welcome.  It is an important part of his career and legacy, but somewhat off in focus and not terribly well written.Wikidemon (talk) 02:54, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * IT would seem that you are the one disruptive force here. There is a consensus here that this element of Iran-contral regarding Henry Hyde is spurious, at best with little reliable source to justify it to be on Henry Hyde's bio. Because i disagree with you (wikidemon) you then threaten to file a AN/I and get me banned??? Nice WP:AFG and WP:CIVIL Orangejumpsuit (talk) 03:15, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

There are issues with the references given for re the "suppression of that contra-cocaine probe" that is implied of Hyde. The NY Times ref does not mention cocaine at all, the second is a blog from a self-published attack book and does not meet WP:RS. I would appreciate being notified of the ANI case if you decide to put it forward. Thanks. Tundrabuggy (talk) 03:11, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not endorsing the present version, only trying to deal with an editor who has threatened to commit politically-motivated disruption on articles throughout the encyclopedia. Adding the NY Times reference was my quick fix because the thing had no reliable sources at all.  It would be legitimate, technically, to remove it for being unsourced, but not very helpful - so I added a source.  A more thoughtful thing is to get it right.  That would probably take a good editor an hour or two of googling, reading up, and editing, but it should be pretty straightforward.  Hyde clearly suppressed the accusations against North, Reagan, etc., in the Senate hearings - he used every procedure he could to downplay, cut off, accuse the accusers, etc., and was called Reagan's staunchest defender in the hearings.  I could not quickly find sources that say he acted to obstruct the underlying investigation but they may be out there.  Even if true, I do share some NPOV concerns about focusing on that when the real deal in terms of his political legacy and coverage is his work on the committee.  Wikidemon (talk) 03:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Incidentally, the AN/I report is at WP:AN/I. Wikidemon (talk) 03:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Reading the material, the claim that Reagan's policies fueled the Cocaine "pandemic" is editorializing on a subject not related directly to Hyde - something that should not be there even if it could be sourced, and the claim that Hyde "was in a position" to do something is just argumentative speculation. So I would definitely change the material to be in NPOV form.  Reagan had many allies, and people in Congress extremely loyal to him.  The sourceable truth is in my opinion very interesting, a staunch defender of the administration who uses his position to deflect attempts by Reagan's detractors to undermine his credibility. Something like that.  It was such a well known thing it can easily be cited to neutral sources, and discussed in a way that neither approves nor condemns Hyde but just says what he did.  BLP does not apply because Hyde died last year, but WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:RS are still important.  Cheers,  Wikidemon (talk) 03:34, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree with your assessment of that paragraph and think it best to delete it until it can be properly sourced and NPOV.  True about HH being dead, RIP, but as you say NPOV, V, & RS are all important.  BLP says: The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia, but especially for edits about living persons, rests firmly on the shoulders of the person who adds or restores the material. (my bolds) I believe we should try to write accurately about everyone, dead or alive. BLP also adds that  Wikipedia is a high-profile, widely-viewed website with an international scope, which means that material we publish about living people can affect their lives and the lives of their families, colleagues, and friends. Biographical material must therefore be written with strict adherence to our content policies.  Obviously there are still plenty of friends, family and colleagues around since he is recently dead.  There seems to considerable "gossip" in this article, including a number of serious allegations sourced entirely to Salon.com, which some people consider the converse of Frontpage.com. Best, Tundrabuggy (talk) 04:17, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * We agree on the content and the editor in question has been blocked for a week so the question of how to respond to point-y edits is moot. I'll try to dig in a little more and only add sourced, high quality material.  You were definitely right to delete the other stuff you did.  I'll keep in mind what you say about Salon.  - Wikidemon (talk) 05:42, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I thought Propol raised an important point above, although I think he put the cart before the horse. Hyde spent six years as the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committe; he was an energetic defender of broad Presidential discretion in intelligence matters. Perhaps it would contribute to article balance if we did a better job of placing Hyde's efforts to defend Secord, North, et al. in the context of his record? I think the evidence better supports the claim that he consistently defended covert operations notwishstanding the threat they pose to open government, than it does the allegation he was a partisan hack who "suppressed" the truth. Innocent76 (talk) 12:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Wikidemon, on the Savings and Loan Scandal, check out the link. It is a book review by a Salon writer, of an attack book on Hyde.  In fact the reviewer says of the book from which the article information has been gleaned: "This is not a full-fledged biography, but vigorous political pamphleteering from a leftist perspective. Rushed to print in three months (without enough care by the publisher to catch many annoying typos), it includes some new revelations, but it is valuable mainly for pulling together tawdry aspects of Hyde's record, many of which may be little known even if previously reported."  political pamphleteering froma leftist perspective? rushed to print? new revelations? tawdry aspects?  I would say that is not a ringing endorsement from Salon.com.  I'm of a mind to delete that section too, except here is a legit link to it :   However, the NYTimes says Investigators said they found no evidence of fraud in the Clyde Federal case. Nor was there evidence that Mr. Hyde directly gained anything other than his director's fees of $300 a month during the two and one-half years he served on the board, starting in 1981. Mr. Hyde has said that as an outside director he relied on the advice of finance professionals in all of his votes.   ps.  I took the liberty to take the POV tag off of that section since we seem to be in agreement. ;)Tundrabuggy (talk) 04:32, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

 * In process of cleaning up the article I see the entire thing is virtually unsourced. I'll do a little where I can, but the whole article needs to be rewritten more or less from scratch.  I'll put the Iran Contra material back in but stick to the main points.  The most important thing in cleaning up messy articles, I've found, is to start by organizing sections and trying to put things in some logical order - usually chronological but sometimes thematically.  Wikidemon (talk) 18:43, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

HENRY HYDE.
'10-25-09

Dear readers-

Yes, Henry was a good man. Question? What happened after? Did his family lay him to rest in the town of Gevena, Illinois where he moved after he retired or was he creamated? Many folks out there would like to have a closer to the story or even visit his grave to pay respects?

With respect,

3 in Three

3 in Three is a 1989 metapuzzle video game designed by Cliff Johnson and published by Cinemaware and Inline Design.

While bearing some similarities to his previous game, The Fool's Errand, 3 in Three took place inside a computer. The game is about a number 3, lost in the innards of the computer by a power surge. The 3 attempts to repair the damage caused by the power surge and make her way back to the spreadsheet, providing the background story for the game.

Gameplay
The game consists of many separate sections, each of which contains one puzzle. However, unlike Fool's Errand, each section may need to be visited multiple times, as it may carry along part of the story at times when it does not contain a puzzle. Each puzzle (upon completion) places one letter in the Letter Legislature. When the entire legislature is in place, a logic puzzle (see below) is used to properly order them, at which point the endgame begins; the hints found in previous puzzles are used to complete the meta-puzzle and finish the game.

Unlike The Fool's Errand, the puzzles in 3 in Three are rarely traditional puzzles like cryptograms or word searches; instead, the puzzles tend to take advantage of the possibilities of computer games. Some of the prominent puzzle types include:

 * Lift puzzles - the 3 must navigate across a field of lifts by putting her lift and the lift to her right at the same level.
 * Mesh puzzles - the 3 must change a mesh (of sizes ranging from 3x3 to 9x9) to match a given pattern.
 * Missing vowels - the 3 must add missing vowels to common proverbs or homophones.
 * Trapdoor puzzles - the 3 must open or close all of a set of doors; clicking on one door will toggle the open state of several others, with the exact set of doors, toggled depending on the state of the door clicked. (Thus clicking on door 3 may open or close doors 1, 3, and 9 if it is open, but 3, 4, and 5 if it is closed.)
 * Reordered word puzzles - the 3 must rearrange a word to spell another word in 3 clicks. Each click switches two letters; the letters switched depend on which letter is clicked and its position in the word.
 * Logic puzzles - A grid of items must be rearranged to meet specific rules. (For example, a set of Roman numerals may include a rule like 'XVI is north of XIV'.)

Release
Unlike the developer's earlier games, 3 in Three was never ported but was released only for the Macintosh. It was initially released by Cinemaware, which went out of business in 1991; the license was then picked up by Inline Design, which went out of business in 1995. It is now freeware and can be found on the author's website. It includes information which allows the game to be played on Windows PCs.

Reception
3 in Three was reviewed positively in Macworld, which described it as "an ultramodern Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" with an "obsessively good set" of puzzles. Macworld noted occasional issues with puzzles that were too easy or frustrating, but overall praised the game as mostly "creative, fun, entertaining, and best of all, challenging." Macworld named 3 in Three as runner-up to Tesserae in the Best Brain Game category of its 1991 Macintosh Game Hall of Fame.

MacUser awarded 3 in Three five out of five mice, claiming that Cliff Johnson had "achieved a new level of weirdness" with the game's variety of puzzles. MacUser called the game's plot "a bit Tron-esque", with abundant humor and infuriating puzzles. The review praised the game's graphics, sound, animation, and stability. MacUser named 3 in Three best game in its 1991 Editors' Choice Awards, ahead of Spaceship Warlock and Spectre.

The Chicago Tribune named 3 in Three the best brain teaser game of 1990 and said that it surpassed previous Cliff Johnson games "with superb animation and intricately connected puzzles."

Games magazine included 3 in Three in its "The Games 100" feature as the best new puzzle game of 1991. Games called the game "as witty and challenging as [Cliff Johnson's] earlier head-scratchers," with improved storyline and graphics.

Bob LeVitus recommended 3 in Three as a mind-boggling "tour de force of animation and sound" in The Macintosh Reader. Gaming historian Richard Moss likened the visual style of 3 in Three to "an interactive Saul Bass advertisement" and noted that the game's puzzles had evolved from the paper-and-pencil adaptions of Cliff Johnson's previous games The Fool's Errand and At the Carnival to "computer-native" designs.

The Macintosh Bible Guide to Games said that Cliff Johnson took his brilliant game design of The Fool's Errand to a new level with 3 in Three, calling it "one of the better puzzle compilations available."

The Pallbearer

The Pallbearer is a 1996 American romantic comedy film co-written and directed by Matt Reeves in his directorial debut and starring David Schwimmer, Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collette, Michael Vartan, Michael Rapaport, and Barbara Hershey. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.

Plot
Tom Thompson, 25, still lives with his mother. A former high school classmate's mother, Ruth Abernathy, calls to say his "best friend," Bill, committed suicide, asking him to give his eulogy. Not remembering him, nevertheless he agrees to be a pallbearer. Meanwhile, his high school crush, Julie DeMarco, reappears in town.

At the funeral, Tom's vague and impersonal eulogy confuses the Abernathys and amuses his friends. Julie, upset at their disrespect, tries to leave as they carry Bill's casket out of the church. Tom drags the casket and the rest of the pallbearers after Julie. Asking if she knew Bill; she admits she didn't but was saddened to see him in the casket. Asking her out upsets Bill's relatives, so he's forcefully relieved of his duties as pallbearer. Visibly upset, Ruth tells Tom he is in Bill's will.

Afterwards, Tom calls Julie and she requests Scott and Cynthia come along for a double date. At dinner, Julie and Scott click, while conversation between Tom and Julie is stilted. Scott mentions that Tom still lives with his mother. Disgusted by Scott, Tom reluctantly drives Julie home. Arriving, she reveals she remembers him in high school. As Tom leans in for a kiss, Julie turns and they knock heads. She apologizes for giving off the wrong signals, as she is moving away.

Rejected at his second job interview, Tom goes to Ruth's to help pack Bill's room. Looking through old photos of Bill, they kiss and have sex. She tells him about Bill's father, who died in the war. Tom tells Ruth about Bill's fictitious love interest based completely on his own infatuation with Julie, and they continue to see each other.

Tom spies on Julie working at a record store from his car. One day, at closing time, he sees her let Scott into the store, who then kisses her. When Scott sees Tom, he drives off. The next morning, Julie tells Tom about Scott's kiss, not knowing he had witnessed it. Reminiscing about high school band, she tells him she wants to just drive away for a year to be on her own. Julie then invites Tom to a concert. Arriving at Ruth's, Tom is rushed to an Abernathy family gathering. He realizes Ruth had overheard him talking to Julie about their date later that evening. When Tom's car breaks down, Julie finds Ruth's charm bracelet, so he tells her he has been helping Bill Abernathy's mother since the funeral. She mistakenly assumes it's an innocent friendship.

After a tow truck takes Tom and Julie back to his house, as he sneaks into his mother's room to get her car keys, she enters his room. Tom reveals he once wanted to dance with her at a school dance and she kisses him. Falling into Tom's bed, Ruth calls, knowing Julie is there with him. When Tom seeks advice from Brad, he suggests mailing the bracelet with a letter to end things with Ruth. He does so and continues dating Julie. On her birthday, she asks him to meet her parents. That morning, Tom sees Ruth with the envelope and sneaks away. At brunch with Julie's parents, her father disapproves of them. As Tom begs Julie to not leave for a year, Ruth barges into the restaurant, humiliating him.

At Brad's bachelor party, Tom makes a scene, telling him not to marry Lauren. Calling her an albatross around his neck and that Scott agrees. The next day, Scott apologizes to Tom and they reconcile. Talking about their childhood, they realize there was another Tom who moved away after junior high. So Tom brings the other Tom to Ruth, who appreciates the gesture to reminisce about her son. They both realize they needed someone at the time, Ruth mourning her son and Tom pining for his childhood crush.

At Brad's wedding, Tom patches his friendship with Brad approving of his marriage to Lauren, as Scott and Cynthia also reconcile. Tom also gives Julie his car keys for her trip. She hints that she wants to dance. Tom gets a job and moves into Julie's apartment while she is on her trip.

Production
Miramax Films won an auction in October 1994 for the spec script written by Reeves and Jason Katims, initially paying $400,000. Reeves was known for co-writing Under Siege 2: Dark Territory and Katims as a story editor on the television show My So-Called Life. J. J. Abrams supervised the writers during the writing process and co-produced the film.

Box office
The Pallbearer opened at number 9 at the US box office in its opening weekend (5/3-5) with $2,319,236. By the end of its run, the film had made $7,656,388 in the United States and Canada.

Critical reception
The review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes reported that 48% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 21 reviews, with an average rating of 5.1/10. The consensus summarizes: "Between a dark comedy and a romantic one, The Pallbearer confounds, and David Schwimmer's puppy dog eyes can't save the procession from going six feet under."

Talk:Cuttyhunk Island

America --> North America
Is it true to say that for Gosnold, the New World was "North America"? Didn't the New World include both North and South America?

The RussBot changed the link to "America" in the History section to link to "North America". While this gets rid of ambiguity, is it accurate? CrimsonLine 01:31, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * I've changed the link from North America to The Americas. I believe that is what is intended by the text. Although the English expeditions were going specifically to North America (America Sepentrionalis on old maps), the phrase is talking about the "New World" in general, which is what the Americas article is about. There is also the New World article, which is a possible link. Mike Dillon 15:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

How many year-round residents?
User "Cuttyhunk" just added a sentence stating that only 33 people live on Cuttyhunk year-round. The sentence now follows a statement that there are 86 year-round residents. Perhaps one or the other statement is true, but certainly both cannot be true, and left to stand as is. CrimsonLine 15:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

There are two "islands within an island" as they are called, and one is on the west side of the island in the oyster Pond, where the Gosnold monument is located. There is another near the main harbor called "Joe's Island". It is unknown why it was named that as nobody lives there, and it is protected for wildlife conservancy, so no one is allowed on it. It is thought that Joe's Island is the island Bartholomew Gosnold and his men made their encampent on, as a journal from one of those men states that they were camped on "an island within an island".Elizabethlitton (talk) 17:34, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Hush (1998 film)

Hush is a 1998 American thriller film starring Jessica Lange and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Plot
Helen and Jackson live together in New York City. At the beginning of the film, the two are driving towards the Kentucky farmhouse, Kilronan, where Jackson grew up, primarily to introduce Helen to Jackson's mother, Martha, during the Christmas holidays. They arrive late in the evening and go straight to bed. The next morning Helen awakens to Martha arranging the room, as she thought Helen was asleep in the other bedroom. During their stay Martha tries to convince Jackson to stay to help her run the farm. Helen notices that Martha cleans their room and arranges their things every day, including Helen's contraceptive.

After returning to New York in the new year, Helen discovers she is pregnant after getting violently ill at work. When she informs Jackson of this, he asks her to marry him and she accepts. The wedding is held at Kilronan, where Helen meets Jackson's paternal grandmother, Alice, who tells Helen she doesn't trust Martha. Alice points out Martha is extremely smart and capable of doing the farmwork of four men. Before Alice can say more Martha interrupts.

After the wedding they return to their New York apartment. One night after work, Helen is assaulted by a burglar who steals her locket and makes sexual advances. When Helen tells him she's pregnant, he cuts her abdomen and leaves. The fetus is not injured.

Martha arrives unannounced, saying she wants to sell Kilronan because she cannot run it alone. Helen tells Jackson she wants to move to Kentucky and in with Martha for a year and help renovate the land. Jackson tells Helen that his father, Jack, died in the house when he was seven; Jackson blames himself because he ran into his father, pushing him down the stairs to his death. Jackson also tells Helen that his father had been cheating on Martha with a woman named Robin Hayes. Helen says they should go back to the farm so Jackson can face his "old ghosts".

The couple move in with Martha, who attempts to divide them with subversive comments and manipulating the family friends and neighbors. When Helen goes to the doctor, she finds out Martha told him Helen wanted to have the baby at the house, even though Helen had never said that. Suspicious and increasingly annoyed, Helen talks to Alice, who tells her that Jackson is not responsible for his father's death. When Jack fell, his sternum was supposedly crushed by the nail puller that he fell onto at the bottom of the stairs; according to news reports, this was a freak accident. When Helen returns that evening she finds Jackson calling around asking for her whereabouts with Martha hovering close by. Helen's frigid attitude toward her mother-in-law prompts Martha to visit Alice and warn her to stay away from them.

Having had enough of Martha's manipulations, Helen tells Jackson that Martha is tearing their marriage apart. He agrees to go back to New York and tells his mother, who appears to accept it gracefully. Martha is completely convinced the baby will be a boy, and that Helen is a bad influence on her son and unborn grandchild.

Jackson leaves the farm on a work call, leaving Helen and Martha alone. That evening, Martha bakes a strawberry cheesecake for Helen laced with pitocin, a labor inducer. Helen wakes up the next morning, feeling strange. She discovers a baby room set up by Martha and finds her stolen locket amongst the baby clothes. When Martha unexpectedly enters the room, Helen tries unsuccessfully to escape, driving to a neighboring farm and coming face to face with her attacker from New York, a neighbor of Martha's, then attempting to escape on foot before Martha captures her at the side of the highway.

Reluctantly, Helen gives birth at the house, with Martha looking on, offering assistance, but refusing to give Helen painkillers. Martha leaves the room to answer a phone call from Jackson. She tells him that everything is okay, but when Helen screams in pain, Martha hangs up.

Helen eventually gives birth to a healthy boy. She begs Martha to hand her the baby, but Martha ignores her, telling the baby she is his mother. Martha tries to inject a needle full of morphine in Helen's arm, but Helen knocks the syringe away. By the time Martha retrieves it, she hears Jackson's footsteps in the house. In a scramble, she quickly cleans up, meeting Jackson at the door with the newborn baby. She tells him to leave Helen alone, as he has no idea what she's been through. The two leave Helen asleep, and Martha gives the baby to Jackson.

That night, Martha enters Helen's bedroom with the syringe, but she finds Jackson awake in a chair next to the bed. Despite his mother's insistence that he return to bed, he stays, thereby thwarting her plan. The next morning, Helen awakens to see Jackson with the baby. As Helen finally holds her child she tells Jackson to ask Martha to make breakfast for them.

At breakfast, Helen enters the house with an object in her bag, which turns out to be the nail puller that killed Jack. She then proceeds to tell Jackson the whole truth about his father's death, revealing that Martha, not Jack, was the one having an affair with Robin Hayes, who was a male horse wrangler and not a woman as Jackson had been told by Martha. When Jack discovered the affair, he decided to leave Martha, who staged the 'accident' to get rid of him and tricked Jackson into believing that he was responsible for it in order to keep him under her thumb for the rest of his life. Helen also shows Jackson a vicious bruise from Martha's attempt to murder her so she could have him and their son to herself. Martha denies everything and says that Helen cannot prove anything. However, Jackson by now has remembered that Martha was pulling nails off the shed on the day his father died, and thus has realized the truth of Helen's words. This causes Jackson to angrily disown Martha from their lives, sever all ties with her, and announce the sale of Kilronan and its contents. Enraged and unwilling to admit her own faults, Martha desperately attempts to persuade Jackson that Helen is coming between them out of jealousy, claiming that Helen wants to be her. Helen dismissively shuts Martha up by slapping her to the ground, and she and Jackson then leave the house with their baby in their arms, while a defeated Martha breaks down sobbing on the floor, her hopes permanently destroyed and forever dashed.

In the final scene, the couple visit Alice before they leave for good, presenting her with her great-grandson.

Reception
Hush has earned a 14% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes movie review website based on 42 reviews. The site's consensus states: "A ridiculous but wholly predictable potboiler with performances ranging from comatose to hysterical."

Roger Ebert has been quoted as saying that Hush is "the kind of movie where you walk in, watch the first 10 minutes, know exactly where it's going, and hope devoutly that you're wrong. It's one of those Devouring Woman movies where the villainess never plays a scene without a drink and a cigarette, and the hero is inattentive to the victim to the point of dementia."

Jessica Lange earned a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actress, losing to the Spice Girls for Spice World.

The full text of this plan is available in fuller's memoirs and Liddel Hart's Sword and the pen. I think the original source would be very useful for this article and could possibly be posted in full a wikisource since works rom 1919 are probaly in public domain.--Gary123 01:34, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Over-citation
The first two sentences of the background section do not need citations. It is not an argument but common knowledge that WW1 was a war of attrition with innovation as a key task of the major participants. To argue otherwise would require a citation and I defy anyone to find an academic source in which the first two sentences of the background section are even questioned regardless of conclusion.

Even if such discussion should be found, the citations rightly belong on the general World War 1 page, and not a page about Plan 1919 specifically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:588A:2E00:64CB:224:5E7E:DB1A (talk) 09:54, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Don Wilson (announcer)

Don Wilson (September 1, 1900 – April 25, 1982) was an American announcer and actor in radio and television, with a Falstaffian vocal presence, remembered best as the rotund announcer and comic foil to the star of The Jack Benny Program.

Early life
Wilson played football for the University of Colorado in the 1920s. For his size he was an excellent sportsman, and was an excellent amateur golfer, teaming up with fellow NBC announcer Bud Stevens to win many matches in Southern California.

Wilson began his radio career as a singer over Denver radio station KFEL in 1923. By 1929, he was working at KFI, and shortly afterwards for Don Lee at KHJ, in Los Angeles. In a 1978 appearance on Tomorrow with Tom Snyder, Wilson claimed he was fired from KHJ because he had bought a Packard from Earle C. Anthony, the business arch-rival of Cadillac dealer Don Lee and owner of KFI and KECA.

Career
Though best known for his comedy work with Benny, Wilson had a background as a sportscaster, covering the opening of the 1932 Summer Olympics as well as college football games for NBC Radio. He appeared in two Broadway shows in the 1930s: The Passionate Pilgrim, which opened October 19, 1932, and The First Legion, which opened October 1, 1934. Wilson first worked with Benny on the broadcast of April 6, 1934, concurrent with a short stint as announcer on George Gershwin's series, Music by Gershwin. At 6 ft and 300 lb, Wilson possessed a resonant voice, a deep belly laugh, and a plump figure, all of which would become important parts of his character with Benny. Though Wilson's primary function as announcer was to read the opening and the commercial pitches – notably for Jell-O, Grape-Nuts, and Lucky Strike – his importance to the program was serving as both feed and foil to Jack and other cast members. A recurring goal was his effort to get the Sportsmen Quartet singing commercials approved by Benny.

On radio in particular, Wilson's girth could be exploited, both in jokes by Benny and in audio gags, such as the amount of time it took a railroad porter to brush the soot off of Don following a train trip, or to measure charging him by the pound.

Wilson rarely flubbed his lines. His most famous incident occurred on the January 8, 1950 broadcast. The script called for him to refer to columnist Drew Pearson, but Wilson read the name as "Drear Pewson". Later on in the broadcast, during a murder-mystery skit, Frank Nelson was instructed – without Jack Benny's knowledge – to take advantage of the situation. Benny asked Nelson, "Pardon me, are you the doorman?" and Nelson, in his customary sarcastic manner, came back with: "Well who do you think I am, Drear Pewson?," to sustained laughter and applause.

Wilson also served stints as announcer for radio comedy or variety shows starring Alan Young, Bing Crosby, Ginny Simms, and Fanny Brice's comedy hit Baby Snooks. In 1946, Don Wilson was a regular on the daytime comedy Glamour Manor, opposite former Jack Benny Program regular Kenny Baker.

Wilson accompanied Benny into television in 1950, remaining with him through the end of the series in 1965. On television, the fat jokes were toned down only slightly, mostly because the real Wilson was not as impossibly large as the radio Wilson was described. These appearances also often involved the fictional character of Don's equally hefty, aspiring announcer son, Harlow (played by Dale White). Wilson co-starred with Benny in Buck Benny Rides Again (1940) and voicing a caricature of himself in The Mouse that Jack Built, a 1959 Warner Brothers spoof of The Jack Benny Program directed by Robert McKimson. Wilson appeared in the Broadway show Make a Million, which opened on October 23, 1958.

In 1959, Wilson appeared as a flim-flam preacher in the episode, "Gates Ajar Morgan", on the syndicated anthology series, Death Valley Days, hosted by Stanley Andrews. In the story line, Morgan promotes a false religious philosophy based on the novel The Gates Ajar. He must confess the sham to save his friend and benefactor from a lynch mob. The episode also features Chris Alcaide and Sue Randall.

His other film roles included small appearances as announcers or commentators in several films, providing narration for Walt Disney's Academy Award nominated short Ferdinand the Bull, and a credited appearance as Mr. Kettering opposite Marilyn Monroe in Niagara. His role in the film Village Barn Dance was acclaimed by a review that said, "Surprise performance was that of Don Wilson ... who steals the show with his portrayal of a good-humored, grinning radio announcer."

Wilson did frequent commercials and appeared in the Western Union Candygram commercials as their spokesman from 1969 through 1971. Those who recall the commercial remember him blaring out "Just tell them I want to send a Candygram."

His final on-camera appearance in a series was in two episodes of the 1960s Batman as newscaster Walter Klondike (spoofing Walter Cronkite). Wilson would continue to appear on talk-shows throughout his life whenever a program would salute Jack Benny or talk about old-time radio.

Personal life
Wilson was married four times. His second wife was Peggy Ann Kent, daughter of 20th Century Fox President Sidney R. Kent. They were married November 19, 1940 and divorced in December, 1942. The same month the divorce was final, Wilson married Polish countess Marusia Radunska. This marriage ended in divorce in 1949. Wilson finally found a lasting partnership with fourth wife, radio actress Lois Corbett (who occasionally appeared as "Mrs. Wilson" on Benny's later radio and TV shows). Together they hosted a local Palm Springs, California television show Town Talk from 1968 until the mid-1970s.

Death
Wilson and his wife lived in Palm Springs after his retirement. He died of a stroke in his Cathedral City, California home in April 1982.

Ready to Rumble

Ready to Rumble is a 2000 American buddy comedy sports film directed by Brian Robbins and written by Steven Brill, which is based on Turner Broadcasting System's now defunct professional wrestling promotion, World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The movie draws its title from ring announcer Michael Buffer's catchphrase, "Let's get ready to rumble!" The movie features many wrestlers from WCW.

Plot
Sewage workers Gordie Boggs and Sean Dawkins watch their favorite wrestler, WCW World Heavyweight Champion Jimmy King cheated out of the title by Diamond Dallas Page (DDP), promoter Titus Sinclair, and DDP's partners. After the match, the duo expresses their rage while driving in their septic truck, resulting in a car crash which they survive.

Gordie starts believing that the crash was supposed to happen and that they should make Jimmy King once again the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Looking for King, they find his estranged wife and his parents. King's parents tell Gordie and Sean that King borrowed their mobile home and never returned it. The duo later finds King, who has given up on wrestling, and angers him to the point where he attacks them. This attack prompts a change of heart for King, and his passion for wrestling returns. They go visit his wife, who kicks him in the crotch for giving her crabs and abandoning her and their son. The couple eventually reconciles on her porch.

King's teenage son then comes out and has very bad teeth. King vows to win the money and get him a good dentist.

King, Geordie and Sean go on a road trip to the next WCW Monday Nitro taping in New York City. Gordie sends letters to his father, a police officer who wanted Gordie to follow in his footsteps. Gordie writes that he will not join him in the force, making him frustrated. Gordie and Sean arrive at the Nitro taping where they hide King in a port-a-potty and meet Nitro Girl Sasha. When DDP mocks King on camera, King comes out of the port-a-potty and attacks him. Sinclair then declares a Steel Cage match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship plus a $1 million cash prize, with the added stipulation that if King loses, he will never wrestle again.

Sasha is impressed by Gordie, and they later go to her apartment to have dinner. Sasha attempts to have sex with Gordie, who reacts like it is a wrestling match and pushes her off of him. King is out of shape for the match, so he, Gordie, and Sean head to the residence of retired wrestler Sal Bandini, who accepts becoming King's trainer. The trio then heads to a gym, where King meets his former partner, Bill Goldberg. King asks Goldberg to help in the upcoming match, but he turns him down, saying that King has no chances of winning. That night, Sid Vicious and Perry Saturn attack Sal, hospitalizing him. At the hospital, Gordie overhears Sasha at a phone booth and learns that she was working for Sinclair the entire time. Realizing their relationship was a sham, Gordie breaks up with her.

As the trio returns to Gordie and Sean's hometown in Wyoming to continue training, Gordie's father forces him to abandon his wrestling aspirations and join the police force. Sean and King try to convince Gordie to get out of becoming an officer, but he refuses. He does, however, hold a party for King and wishes him luck in the Steel Cage match.

On the night of the match, King is again outnumbered by DDP's goons but he receives help from Goldberg, Booker T, Billy Kidman, Disco Inferno, Sting, and Gordie, who rides in on a police motorcycle debuting his new gimmick as "The Law." King ultimately wins the match by dropping DDP from the top of the cage to the floor of the ring. As King comes up victorious and is once again WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Sinclair gets beaten up by Sean and Gordie (as well as by the fans). Goldberg later asks King to re-team with him, but announces his new partner will be Gordie, and their manager will be Sean “Suga Daddy” Dawkins.

Sean later tells local kids "dreams can come true" at a convenience store, where Gordie and Goldberg teach the clerk a lesson for being mean to kids by hurling him out on the street. The heroes then ride off in a limousine, together with Sal, now fully recovered in a hot tub with two of the Nitro Girls.

Production
The character of Sal Bandini is based on wrestlers Lou Thesz and Stu Hart. Oliver Platt accidentally struck Randy Savage in the face during the filming of a fantasy scene. The footage of the incident, which was shot over Savage's shoulder, can be seen in the blooper reel shown during the closing credits. Chris Kanyon was Platt's stunt double, and Shane Helms was David Arquette's stunt double. The character of Titus Sinclair is based on WCW President and Executive Producer Eric Bischoff, who was originally planned to star in this movie as a fictionalized version of himself, but was fired from WCW before filming began.

Publicity
Following the release of the movie, WCW decided to generate publicity for the company by running a storyline in which David Arquette, a legitimate wrestling fan, became WCW World Heavyweight Champion. The storyline was reviled by wrestling fans, and Arquette himself reportedly believed it was a bad idea, as he felt that it would damage the value of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship he held in such high regard. While in WCW, he aligned himself with Diamond Dallas Page (despite Page being the movie's villain) and agreed (in storyline) to drop the title to him. He eventually lost the title in the main event of Slamboree involving the three-tiered cage seen in Ready to Rumble, pitting himself against Page and Jeff Jarrett, which ended when he turned on Page and allowed Jarrett to win. Arquette later donated all the money WCW paid him to the families of deceased wrestlers Owen Hart, Brian Pillman, and Brian Hildebrand, plus to wrestler Darren Drozdov who was left paralyzed due to an in-ring accident a year prior.

The Triple Cage was used by WCW only twice: first, at Slamboree 2000, Jeff Jarrett beat Diamond Dallas Page and David Arquette (defending the WCW World Heavyweight Championship) to win the title. In this match, Chris Kanyon was thrown from the roof of one of the cages, "paralyzing" him. The other, taking place on the September 4, 2000 episode of WCW Monday Nitro, was the 2000 edition of the WarGames match.

Critical reception
Ready to Rumble received a largely negative reception from critics.

Roger Ebert said that the movie works best when focusing on the aspects of professional wrestling instead of the "wheezy prefab" Dumb and Dumber antics and felt there was misuse of both Platt and Landau, citing the former's comedic talents being wasted and having an actual wrestler in his place instead, and the latter being more suitable in dramatic works. BBC film reviewer Neil Smith commended the efforts of both Platt and Landau in their respective roles but felt the film overall was the typical Hollywood comedy, consisting of "oafish slapstick and lavatorial humour in place of genuine wit or imagination", concluding that it "has its moments, but ultimately feels just as bogus as the Lycra-clad charlatans it lionises." The A.V. Club's Nathan Rabin criticized the filmmakers for trying to satirize and indulge in the world of wrestling and ignore it for rehashed humor from films like The Wedding Singer and Mallrats, concluding that, "[I]n its attempts not to offend wrestling fans or the wrestlers who make brief, bland appearances, Ready To Rumble is plodding, obvious, toothless, and unfunny."

A. O. Scott of The New York Times mockingly said that the film does a deep exploration into the world of professional wrestling and its core fanbase, but in reality is "not a satire of the idiocy [of professional wrestling], but a long, self-satisfied wallow in it." Chris Gramlich of Exclaim! backhandedly called it "the best Hollywood wrestling movie since No Holds Barred", giving credit to Chris Kanyon's wrestling choreography, the various WCW performers and the contributions from both Landau and McGowan being the film's saving graces, concluding that, "While Ready to Rumble may at times make even the most ardent wrestling ashamed by its use of wrestling stereotypes (some even justified); it does make you laugh almost as often. Almost." The Austin Chronicle's Marjorie Baumgarten agreed with the critics about the "asinine plot, premise, and performances" but admitted to laughing at a few moments that shows the film being honest with itself about its creation, concluding that, "Filled with lots of appearances by real wrestling stars, the movie seems a certain shoo-in among a certain demographic. But if you're going, hit the theatres soon because this one looks ready to tumble."

Music
The film score makes extensive use of classical music, both diegetic and non-diegetic. "Fanfare for the Common Man" by Aaron Copland is featured as Jimmy King's theme music. "Siegfried's Funeral March" from Götterdämmerung by German composer Richard Wagner plays quietly in the background during King's initial discomfiture at the hands of Titus Sinclair, played by Joe Pantoliano, and Diamond Dallas Page.

A soundtrack for the film was released by Atlantic Records and 143 Records in both 'clean' and 'explicit' editions. Considering the Kid Rock song "Badwitdaba", the Lower Than You remix, is not deleted on the iTunes version of this soundtrack, it remained one of the only songs of Kid Rock to be available on iTunes, until most of his catalog was released on iTunes in 2013.

A Radical Recital

A Radical Recital is a live recording of a Rasputina recital held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at Mr. Smalls Funhouse on Halloween,  2004 (although the album cover claims it to have been 1804). It contains songs from the previous Rasputina albums, and lead singer Melora Creager's spoken introductions. It also has their first recorded release of their cover of "Barracuda", a staple of their live shows.

Critical reception
A review from PopMatters praised Creager's songwriting, as well as the variation in style and arrangement, stating, "The best thing about A Radical Recital is that Rasputina really does have a unique sound, something that is needed more than ever in alternative/pop/rock music."

What is the point of this list?

I use their software and they have some great wiki software - very popular with organisations (especially ours!). So not sure why this isn't 'worthy' of inclusion, especially on WIKIpedia.

I can edit the entry if you think it is too corporate - i grabbed it from their site - but they should be in this list.

Isaac Morley

Isaac Morley (March 11, 1786 – June 24, 1865) was an early member of the Latter Day Saint movement and a contemporary of both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. He was one of the first converts to Smith's Church of Christ. Morley was present at many of the early events of the Latter Day Saint movement, and served as a church leader in Ohio, Missouri, and Utah Territory.

Morley was born on March 11, 1786, in Montague, Massachusetts to Thomas E. Morley and Editha Morley (née Marsh). His parents were members of the Presbyterian faith. Morley served in the War of 1812 from 1812–15, holding the position of captain in the Ohio militia.

In 1812, Morley married Lucy Gunn, with whom he had seven children. Some years after becoming a member of the church in 1830, he practiced plural marriage, taking Leonora Snow (the older sister of Lorenzo and Eliza R. Snow) and Hannah Blakesley (also found as Blaixly or Blakeslee) as his second and third wife in 1844 in Nauvoo, Illinois. He had three children with Blakesley. His other wives included Hannah Knight Libby, Harriet Lucinda Cox, Hannah Sibley, and Nancy Anne Bache (also found as Back).

Campbellite commune
Morley was an early settler in the Western Reserve wilderness area of northern Ohio, and created a productive farm in the region near Kirtland, Ohio. While in this area, he joined the reformed Baptist faith (also known as the Campbellites) under the ministry of Sidney Rigdon. Morley was also the leader of a utopian group that practiced communal principals, holding goods in common for the benefit of all. Members of this group included Lyman Wight and Morley's brother-in-law Titus Billings. Eight additional families joined in 1830. The society was sometimes called the "Morley Family," as Rigdon caused a row of log houses to be built on Morley's farm, where a number of the society's members could live periodically.

Latter Day Saint movement
On November 5, 1830, Morley was baptized into the newly organized Church of Christ by Parley P. Pratt. He had been introduced to the teachings of Smith when Oliver Cowdery and several other missionaries passed through Ohio. He was ordained an elder shortly after his baptism.

When the Latter Day Saints began to settle in Kirtland, Morley opened up his home to them. Joseph Smith and his family lived with Isaac Morley when they first came to Kirtland. Morley later built a small house for them on his farm, where Joseph's and Emma's twins, Thaddeus and Louisa, were born and died only three hours later on April 30, 1831. Isaac's daughter, Lucy, and her elder sister kept house for Emma while she was ill.

Morley was ordained a High Priest on June 4, 1831, by Lyman Wight and was immediately selected for a leadership position. He was ordained on June 6 as First Counselor to Bishop Edward Partridge and served until Partridge's death in 1840.

On June 7, 1831, Morley was asked to sell his farm and act as a missionary while traveling to Independence, Missouri with Ezra Booth (an assignment given to him through Doctrine and Covenants 52:23). Morley and Booth were chastised for lack of obedience three months later in a revelation given in Doctrine and Covenants 64:15–16. Here, Morley faced the violence generated by disagreements and misunderstandings between Mormon settlers and Missouri residents. In July 1833, a mob of about 500 men demolished the home and printing office of William Wines Phelps at Independence and tarred and feathered Bishop Partridge. Morley and five others stepped forward and offered themselves as a ransom for these men. After negotiation, the Missouri citizens agreed to stop the violence and the Mormons agreed to leave the county by April 1, 1834. Morley moved from Jackson County to Clay County with his fellow Latter Day Saints.

Morley left Missouri and returned to Kirtland in early 1835. He was in attendance at the dedication of the Kirtland Temple in March 1836 and was among the first to receive the washing and anointing ordinance, also known as the "initiatory".

In 1835, Morley served a mission with Partridge to the Eastern States. They returned to Kirtland on November 5, 1835. On November 7, Joseph Smith wrote:

"The word of the Lord came to me, saying: 'Behold I am well pleased with my servant Isaac Morley and my servant Edward Partridge, because of the integrity of their hearts in laboring in my vineyard, for the salvation of the souls of men.'"

Morley returned to Missouri with his family in early 1836, and helped establish the city of Far West. Then, on November 7, 1837, he was chosen as the patriarch of Far West and ordained under the hands of Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, and Hyrum Smith. He lived in Far West until he was arrested with fifty-five other Mormon citizens on the basis of the Extermination Order of Missouri governor Lilburn W. Boggs. The citizens were taken by the Missouri militia to Richmond, Missouri to await trial. After being held for three weeks, all the prisoners were released by Judge Austin A. King on November 24, 1838.

Upon leaving Missouri with the expelled Saints, Morley settled in Hancock County, Illinois, in a settlement called Yelrome (from the reverse spelling of "Morley"). There, he established a prosperous business as a cooper. In October 1840, Hyrum Smith appointed Morley to serve as president of the stake centered in Lima, Illinois, with John Murdock and Walter Cox as counselors. On April 11, 1845, he was selected to be a member of the Council of Fifty. However, in September 1845, his houses, cooper's shop, property, and grain were burned by a mob, and his family took refuge in the Mormon center of Nauvoo. From there, they moved to Winter Quarters, where Morley's first wife, Lucy, died.

Utah settlement
Morley emigrated to the Great Salt Lake Valley in 1848 with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) following the death of Joseph Smith, and is considered to be the founder of Manti, Utah. After Ute Indian leader Walkara invited Church president Brigham Young to send Mormon colonists to the Sanpitch (now Sanpete) Valley in central Utah, Young dispatched Morley and James Russell Ivie as leaders of the first company of 225 settlers. Morley and his group felt that part of the purpose of the settlement was to bring the gospel to the Indians. He wrote, "Did we come here to enrich ourselves in the things of this world? No. We were sent to enrich the Natives and comfort the hearts of the long oppressed." (May, p. 104)

Morley and the settlers arrived at the present location of Manti in November 1849, and established a winter camp, digging temporary shelters into the south side of the hill on which the Manti Utah Temple now stands. It was an isolated place, at least four days by wagon from the nearest settlement. Relations between the Mormons and the local Utes were cooperative. The first winter was severe, and, although the settlers were fairly well supplied, they had great difficulties. A measles epidemic broke out and the settlers used their limited medicine to nurse the Utes. When supplies ran low, the Utes helped settlers haul food on sleds through the snow.

Morley encouraged the settlers in their work and assured them that their community would grow to be one of the best in the mountains. The settlers and members of the Ute Sanpitch tribe referred to him affectionately as "Father Morley". Morley supervised the building of the first schoolhouse and the first gristmill in Sanpete Valley. The Sanpete Valley settlement grew and prospered and became known as a prime agricultural area.

Morley served as a senator in the general assembly of the provisional State of Deseret. He represented Sanpete county in the Utah territorial legislature from 1851 to 1857.

During his last years, Morley spent most of his time on his calling as a patriarch, conferring priesthood blessings on thousands of church members. He died on June 24, 1865, in Fairview, Utah.

On a wall inside the Manti Utah Temple is a framed piece of temple clothing used by Morley in the Nauvoo Temple when he was endowed there.

Junior M.A.F.I.A.

Junior M.A.F.I.A. was an American hip hop group from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York City. The backronym M.A.F.I.A. stands for Masters At Finding Intelligent Attitudes. They were formed and mentored by New York rapper The Notorious B.I.G. In 1995, they released their debut album, Conspiracy. The success of the group's singles "Player's Anthem" (US #13) and "Get Money" (US #17) helped launch the career of Lil' Kim as a solo artist.

The group disbanded shortly after the murder of the Notorious B.I.G., with Lil' Kim and Lil' Cease deciding to continue on with their solo careers. In 2005, three of the members (not including Lil' Kim) released a second album under the Junior M.A.F.I.A. name as a remembrance of the group.

Formation
The members of Junior M.A.F.I.A. met as childhood friends of The Notorious B.I.G.. All the members were under the age of twenty when the group was formed. The group was formed from three separate groups and four individuals if not including The 6s, or 666, (Lil' Cease, Bugsy, Capone, Chico, and Nino Brown), The Snakes (cousins Larceny and Trife), (solo artist) Klepto/Kleptomaniac who was responsible for introducing The Notorious B.I.G. to Versace and Moschino styled rap lyrics, Mr. Bristal, Chico Del Vec, and Lil' Kim, (a.k.a. Big Momma and or The Lieutenant), the only female artist in the group. The 6s knew The Notorious B.I.G. before he was rapping. The Notorious B.I.G. acted as the "godfather" to the group.

Debut
The group released their debut album, Conspiracy, in 1995, under the NYC-based Big Beat Records and Undeas labels. The album was produced in a similar style to The Notorious B.I.G.'s debut, Ready to Die "successful[ly] [replicating]... the earlier record's strengths". B.I.G. featured on four of the album's tracks. The rhyme topics were hard-hitting, mostly addressing guns, money, and sex. The album featured production by DJ Clark Kent, EZ Elpee, Daddy-O, Akshun, and Special Ed. Conspiracy gained some positive reviews, but received criticism for some of its group members not showing enough individuality. It debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 69,000 copies in its first week of release and was later certified gold.

The lead single "Player's Anthem", produced by DJ Clark Kent and featuring The Notorious B.I.G., went gold. The accompanying video showed the group flying on helicopters and Learjets whilst carrying out business under F.B.I. surveillance. The album also spawned the popular top twenty hit "Get Money", a duet featuring The Notorious B.I.G. and Lil' Kim, and its remix "Gettin' Money", which has Lil' Cease with B.I.G. & Lil' Kim. The single was certified platinum and helped Kim start her own solo career. "I Need You Tonight" (featuring Aaliyah) was the only single released from the album that did not feature The Notorious B.I.G. The music video featured the Klept, Lil' Kim, Trife and Aaliyah holding a house party at Kim's house while she was away.

Post Conspiracy
After the death of the Notorious B.I.G. in 1997, the crew became defunct. In an interview with the Notorious B.I.G., which was conducted in 1995 but appeared in a 2003 issue of XXL Magazine, he claimed he was planning to retire from rap music in 2000 to manage the careers of Junior M.A.F.I.A. In 2005, three of the previous seven members of the group, Lil' Cease, Klept and Larceny (now known as Banger), released an album, Riot Musik, under the Junior M.A.F.I.A. name. The album did not match their previous success, only making it to #61 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart and #50 on the Top Independent albums chart.

Lil' Kim released four albums as a solo artist. The M.A.F.I.A. were referenced on her debut album, Hard Core, on the song "M.A.F.I.A. Land" and featured on "Fuck You". Kim collaborated with Lil' Cease on her single "Crush On You (Remix)" and on the track "Big Momma Thang", from her debut album, also featuring Jay-Z. Lil' Cease's solo effort The Wonderful World of Cease A Leo was released in 1999 peaked at #26 on the Billboard 200. The lead single, "Play Around", featured Bristal, Lil' Kim and Puff Daddy and peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. Some of the members of the group went on to other professions. Such as MC Klepto (real name Terrence Harding) is now a top New York City real estate broker @realestatedynamo_nyc, first working for Shark Tank celebrity investor Barbara Corcoran company Corcoran Group.

Compilations and conflict
In 2004, The Best of Junior M.A.F.I.A (Cleopatra) was released, as well as a DVD directed by documentary filmmaker, April Maiya, titled Chronicles of Junior M.A.F.I.A; a candid documentary dealing with the controversy and conspiracies surrounding The Notorious B.I.G and the Junior M.A.F.I.A. It included unreleased footage of studio sessions and home videos of life with the Notorious B.I.G. and his crew. The DVD release included a free mixtape. A follow-up DVD without the original director was titled The Chronicles of Junior M.A.F.I.A. Part II: Reloaded was scheduled to be released in 2005, but was halted when Lil' Kim filed a $6 million lawsuit against Lil' Cease, claiming she never granted permission for her name and image to be used.

Lil' Cease and Banger (formerly known as Larceny) testified against Lil' Kim during a perjury trial in 2005, which resulted in Kim and the group's manager, D-Roc, being sent to jail. Following the case, Kim labeled the pair "snitches" on her 2005 album The Naked Truth. On June 27, 2006, a second DVD was released that was not as successful as its predecessor, entitled Reality Check: Junior Mafia vs Lil' Kim. The DVD featured the pair explaining their side of the story on the case.

In 2007, Chronicles of Junior M.A.F.I.A. director, April Maiya, teamed with D-Roc for a follow-up tell-all documentary titled Life After Death: The Movie. The film vindicated Lil' Kim's convicted perjury and exposed facts behind Lil' Cease and Banger being labeled as "snitches" in the perjury trial and Hot 97 shootout and corrected the shortcomings in the original 2004 release.

AFP reports Buddy Christ discontent in Baghdad
There are reports on the net of anger by residents of Shiite dominated Badr City in Baghdad over what they percieved to be a slight against a Shiite Imam.

Iraqi Shiite residents of Baghdad's Sadr City expressed anger yesterday over a picture of a grinning Jesus they mistook for a Shiite holy figure that appeared in the area after a joint US-Iraqi operation. Residents found a picture of "Buddy Jesus" from the 1999 film "Dogma" posted in the streets, accompanied by a badly photocopied pamphlet bearing a crude approximation of a US military crest and outlining a US "plan" to subjugate the neighbourhood. "That picture abuses our Imam Mahdi and his holy character, and mocks our sacred figures," said resident Abu Riyam, apparently mistaking the satirical movie still of Jesus for one of Shiite Islam's historical imams, whose images adopt a Jesus-like iconography.

Ain't that a peach? I'd say it definately ups the public profile of "Buddy Jesus," or "Buddy Christ" or whatever. I dont have the chops to link everything in this story but I think someone should add it.

 * Here's a proposal for added text, still needs links and refs:

In October, 2006, Iraqi Shiite residents of Baghdad’s Sadr City expressed outrage over an image of ‘Buddy Christ’ that appeared in pamphlets and posters in the area following a joint US-Iraqi operation. The posters contained the image of Buddy Christ, a forgery of a US military crest and the outline of a plan to subjugate the area. Residents protested because they believed the images mocked Mahdi, a revered Shiite imam.

Also, should you mention the joke?
"Buddy Christ" is of course a wordplay on the Catholic Mass invocation of the "Body of Christ."

 * We learn something every day. Thanks. —Tamfang (talk) 04:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Jason Lee?
Is Jason Lee the model for Buddy Christ? Also, I don't think the picture of Christ on Jay's shirt in Clerks II is Buddy Christ. Milchama 12:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope. According to the commentary of Dogma, the face of the Buddy Christ is based slightly on the sculptor that created it.JohnnyRush10 08:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
