Lou Marini

Louis William Marini Jr. (born May 13, 1945), known as "Blue Lou" Marini, is an American saxophonist, arranger, and composer. He is best known for his work in jazz, rock, blues, and soul music, as well as his association with The Blues Brothers.

Early life
Marini was born in Charleston, South Carolina. His parents were Italian immigrants from the region of Trentino. He graduated from Fairless High School in Navarre, Ohio. His father, Lou Marini Sr., was the high school's band director and wrote the school song. Fairless bestows the annual Lou Marini Award in honor of Marini Sr. who died in May 2008. Both Lou Marini Sr. and Lou Marini Jr. were inducted into the Fairless Alumni Association Hall of Honor in May 2010. In June 2010, Marini Jr. was named artistic director at the first Brianza Blues Festival, in Villa Reale (Monza, Italy). Marini attended North Texas State University College of Music (now known as the University of North Texas College of Music), where he played in the One O'Clock Lab Band. From 1972 to 1974 he played in Blood, Sweat & Tears. From 1975 to 1983, he was a member of the Saturday Night Live house band. He was a member of The Blues Brothers band, appearing in The Blues Brothers movie and its sequel, Blues Brothers 2000, playing the part of "Blue Lou", a moniker given by Dan Aykroyd.

He played on Frank Zappa's 1977 album Zappa in New York, on Cindy Bullens' 1978 album Desire Wire, and has worked with Aerosmith, Deodato, Maureen McGovern, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Dionne Warwick, the Buddy Rich Big Band, and the Woody Herman Orchestra.

Solo work
Marini has spent most of his professional life working as a sideman and arranger. In 1986, he recorded a mournful, melancholy solo sax for the soundtrack of HBO's 1987 animated adaptation of Bernard Waber's children's book The House on East 88th St. which was released under the title Lyle, Lyle Crocodile. In 2004, he recorded his first recording as a bandleader, with Ray Reach and the Magic City Jazz Orchestra, titled Lou's Blues (2004). This album features his arrangements and compositions, many of which have become favorites for the Lab Bands at the University of North Texas. The liner notes of the album were written by Grammy Award-winning composer, arranger, and producer Bob Belden.

On March 23, 2010, he released Blue Lou and Misha Project - Highly Classified, a collaboration with Misha Segal, an Israeli pianist and composer.

Compositions and arrangements
Marini's work as an arranger and composer has been influenced by Gil Evans, Bob Brookmeyer, Thad Jones, and Don Ellis, as well as rock, pop, and avant-garde music. For example, his song, "Hip Pickles," written for Blood, Sweat and Tears, is described by reviewer Jack Bowers of AllAboutJazz.com, as follows: "Marini's unorthodox notions surface on 'Hip Pickles,' whose free' intro gives way to a melody played by screaming trumpets and Clapton-like guitar, prefacing a stormy interchange between Marini (alto) and Tom Wolfe [on guitar]."

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep. Sjakkalle (Check!)  11:02, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

List of Major League Rivalries
Delete. POV. Edit. Add: So-called "rivalries" are mainly for the fans. MLB players are usually professional enough to keep their cool and just play the game, while the fans can get out of hand. There are no "official" listings of MLB rivalries. Some of the "rivalries" listed in that "article" are not even in the same division or league. The rivalries are from a fan's point of view. Much of the "rivalries" posted in Wikipedia were made by an anonymous user. The following articles dumped the rivals section that were once part of the articles: Rivals Discussion on New York Yankees Talk Page Rivals Discussion on Boston Red Sox Talk Page Rivals Discussion on St. Louis Cardinals Talk Page To further point out POV, users on the Toronto Blue Jays Talk Page and Chicago White Sox Talk Page question the rivalries. Another user on the Tampa Bay Devil Rays Talk Page points out that one of the listed "rivalries" is "junk." Win777 14:55, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Doesn't seem terribly POV to me. --Scimitar parley 17:16, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I do not see any POV at all. Plus, though MLB may not "official" sanction it, the fans are into it and sometimes, the rivialries will have an occasion fight or two. Plus, the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry is a classic, came into full force in 2004. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 17:29, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * And don't forget 2003. -R. fiend 20:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Zscout370. …Markaci 2005-07-20 T 17:57:00 Z
 * Keep User:24.171.36.233 as there is nothing wrong with the page.
 * While I think there is certainly room for a list of (and articles on) the major Major League rivalries, I can't really be too sure of everything in this article, as I'm unfamiliar with it and most of the links are red. I'm also not sure if it's best to put the long standing rivalries alongside a single series. Nor do I know what the Bill Buckner Rivalry is, or what could be in such an article that isn't already covered at Bill Buckner. So I guess this vote is a keep and cleanup. -R. fiend 20:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, it should be cleaned up. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The "Bill Buckner" rivalry is Mets/Red Sox, in reference to the '86 World Series and his famous blooper. It isn't so widely used, but it is immediately recognizable to any fan of the two teams. Xoloz 03:53, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Nevertheless, I wouldn't classify Red Sox/Mets as a Major League rivalry, particularly as both have a common enemy in the Yankees, which seems to trump all other rivalries. -R. fiend 04:12, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Some of the rivalries were created by the fans, some were drum up by the press. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:23, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Rivalries like "Bill Buckner" exist mainly to give the sports press something to ruminate over when these two teams happen to meet. That said, many fans care deeply about the '86 WS (and similar past meetings), so the notion of a rivalry isn't inappropriate -- it is just a lesser-known rivalry. I assume "Major League" refers to the sport, Major League Baseball, and not to the magnitude of the rivalry. Xoloz 06:13, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with the MLB article and cleanup, I'm not seeing much POV in this article, however it contains alot of information that is total BS.Gateman1997 03:07, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, There is no POV...it's a list.Aronomy 03:31, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Exactly. It's a list of items based on a fan's POV. Win777 17:42, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Names aren't official, but they are widely known. Google searches can verify these easily. Xoloz 03:53, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I had a difficult time looking some of them up in Google. Win777 14:53, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I am as well, I'm changing my vote above to merge with the MLB article. This list contains many "rivalries" that aren't anything more then teams playing each other. For instance the A's-Mairiners rivalry? There is no such thing.Gateman1997 17:10, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but edit so only the major, recognized rivalries are there. --Titoxd 23:42, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, highly dependent on POV. This list contributes absolutely nothing.
 * Move and Cleanup per The Literate Engineer below. -ÅfÇ++ 01:53, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Where do you see POV? Gateman1997 03:00, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Move and Cleanup to Major League Baseball Rivalries. Clean-up should consist of removing redlinks from the list, or at least removing all the minor rivalries (Braves-Nationals isn't on the level of Yankees-Red Sox, or even Braves-Mets) and adding several paragraphs of text explaining and analyzing MLB rivalries in general terms - things like whether they originate with the players or the fans, the role of the media in drumming them up, etc. The Literate Engineer 09:15, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * If the list is going to be kept and cleaned up, then, the BS rivalries which have articles should be deleted, too. I've looked up the names of the some of the "rivalries" by searching the name as an exact phrase on Google, and I did not find them, except the ones created on Wikipedia.   "Real rivalries," like the Subway Series, were found on Google by using their name as an exact phrase search.  Win777 16:52, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * No argument from me about that, Win777. The Literate Engineer 19:40, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Marshfield, Gloucestershire

Marshfield is a town in the local-government area of South Gloucestershire, England, on the borders of the counties of Wiltshire and Somerset. Its toponym derives from the Old English word "march", meaning "a border", hence "Border Field" would be a literal translation. The name has nothing to do with "marsh" in the sense of a bog.

The history of the town is reflected in the buildings and their architecture, including the church and the market place. Troops occupied the town in 1643 during the English Civil War.

A range of customs and cultural events take place in the town.

Location
Marshfield is at the southern end of the Cotswold Hills, 8 mi north of Bath, 15 mi east of Bristol and 28 mi south of Gloucester. The A420 road bypasses the town on its northern side. To the north of Marshfield is a long stretch of flat-looking fields bordered by dry-stone walls. To the south, the view and the country is quite different, for one is quickly into the wooded valleys and hedge-lined fields of Bath and North East Somerset.

High Street is the single main thoroughfare of Marshfield and is approximately 350 m in length and straight. The eastern part of the town contains the parish church, Manor House and Home Farm, a group of historic buildings noted for their architectural features.

Historic buildings
Almost every house along the high street is more than 100 years old, from the Georgian architecture Gothic toll house at the western end to the groups of medieval barn, dovecote, and early Georgian stable range which go with the manor house, which dates from the 17th century, and Home Farm. Near the toll house stand the fine almshouses of 1612, built for the use of eight elderly villagers by two sons of Marshfield, Nicholas and Ellis Crispe, who had gone to London and made their fortunes largely through the West Indies trade. They endowed the houses with funds to provide a free residence, garden, and £11 yearly. Many houses date from Tudor era and Stuart times (a few were originally timber-framed) and have gables and mullioned windows. Several have bow fronts and there are five examples of shell-pattern door arches typical of Queen Anne work. The finest front in the high street is perhaps the Catherine Wheel some of whose buildings at the rear are much older than 1700.

The Malting house is a typical example of the village's former prosperity in that trade. Other notable high street buildings include the former Old Meeting, a Presbyterian / Independent, later Unitarian chapel of 1752, the gabled range of the Hospice, the Red House, the former police station (now number 123), numbers 44, 83, 115, and 126.

The former vicarage, now known as "Marshfield House", whose front was rebuilt in the 1730s by Mrs Dionysia Long, is particularly handsome with its barn, stable block, and large walled garden fringing the market place. It has four storeys, including a basement and extensive attics. The vicarage did not have electricity until the 1950s, in fact only two of the floors had electricity in the early 1980s. The last vicar to inhabit the old vicarage was Rev John Miskin Prior. Following his departure from the village in 1982, a new vicarage was built on land in Church Lane, and the old vicarage was sold as a private residence.

Public houses
The Crown, now converted into flats, the Lord Nelson, the Old Inn, and several farms still in the heart of the village are also noteworthy: Weir farm in Weir lane, with its gables, was once a malting house, and Pitt farm, at Little end, is 17th century.

Vernacular buildings
The Tolzey or Town House was built in 1690 for the people of Marshfield by John and Mary Goslett. As well as being the old town's administrative headquarters it also housed a Marshfield fire engine and served as a lock-up. The parish council still meets at the Tolzoy. It is a Grade II listed building.

Castle farm is about half a mile to the north of Marshfield. In its 2 acre farmyard is an ancient longhouse with the original fireplace and the dividing screen between the human and animal dwellings. On the neighbouring land where lynchets show in some fields, many Bronze Age and Stone Age implements have been picked up and a skeleton in a stone coffin discovered.

Formerly there were two mansions to the south of the village; the Rocks, now a ruin, and Ashwicke Hall. The Rocks, covering 1188 acre belonged to the Taylor family, and was originally of Jacobean design. It was visited by the late Queen Mary during her stay at Badminton House in the Second World War. Ashwicke, ancient seat of the Webb family, was bought and rebuilt by John Orred in 1857, replacing an older house that stood nearby. After his death it was bought by the Horlocks who later moved to the Manor House. The hall then passed through other hands and the Firth family sold it to its last private owner, Major Pope, in 1909. The two houses employed many people from the parish in the past and the footpath running from the village to Ashwicke is a reminder of those days of service. On this former estate is the Rocks East woodland training centre which has several guided walks and wooden sculptures.

History
The town is rich in history because of its location in the heart of Cotswold wool country, near to Bath and Bristol. Located within an agricultural area, Marshfield gained market status in 1234. The layout conforms to that of a typical market town with long narrow burgage plot gardens extending back from the narrow frontages, and served by two rear access lanes (Back Lane and Weir Lane).

The majority of buildings lining the street are of 18th-century origin although several buildings date from the 17th century. The building style is largely Georgian. The facades of the buildings are unified by the consistent use of local stone and other materials, which adds character to the village.

Civil War
Marshfield was a casualty of the Battle of Lansdown (July 1643) during the Civil War. A Royalist army under Prince Maurice and Sir Bevil Grenville were hoping to link up with Charles I at Oxford and avoid a confrontation with the Parliamentary Forces gathered at Bath under Sir William Waller. Marshfield, which had about 300 houses at that time, on 4 July was used as an overnight billet and provision store for the King's army of 6000. Next day the royalists were tempted into an abortive Battle at Lansdown, each side withdrawing with heavy losses. Sir Bevil Grenville (whose monument now stands on the site of the battle) died in Cold Ashton rectory and as the Royalists fell back on Marshfield for repairs almost every house had wounded men on its hands. When the depleted army moved on the reinforced Cromwellian army soon followed. There was little time to stow away the church's simple treasures before the invading despoilers were at work. As a piece of local doggerel composed 200 years later had it "The empty niche above the door, where Mary's image stood, And ravaged reredos testify to their revengeful mood."

It is not known just what damage may have been done as a result of the Civil War. Canon Trotman, a prominent authority in Marshfield's more recent past, speculated publicly about the likely missing treasures. He noticed the large stones on either side of the east window, with rough infilling under them. The large stones evidently formed canopies for figures now missing and which have been the marble figures found in 1866 during alterations at the Angel Inn (now 42 high Street) and later removed from the parish. Two or three other figures probably completed the statuary. Canon Trotman further presumed that the figure of the Virgin may have been taken from its niche in the porch by the Parliamentary troops, but adds forcefully, "'Even they could scarcely have done more havoc with the church than the hand of the so-called restorer in 1860 who, while substituting the pitch pine seats...for the old carefully locked pews and capacious gallery, effaced at the same time much that should have been interesting to us today.'" Canon Trotman (1906).

With Cromwell's victory in the Civil War, the period of the Commonwealth ensued during which time marriage was treated as a secular rather than religious ceremony. John Goslett as a magistrate therefore married 92 couples during that period from the parish and around, in may cases the banns having been called on three successive market days in the market Place at Marshfield (as an alternative banns could still be read in church). There was clearly no long-term disadvantage in all this for Mr Goslett for a tablet to his memory was nevertheless placed in the church, beside the east window of the north aisle.

David Long, from Pennsylvania, reports that on the flat open land between his village and the lane you can often find musket balls, on the battlefield of Lansdown. Looking towards the battle site from the field it would appear to be a logical distance away particularly as they would have been firing uphill at about 45 degrees thus landing some distance from the battle site.

Fire
The village fire engine was purchased in 1826 for £50:00 and was still in use in 1931. It had to be operated by a gang of men on either side of it using a hand pump. In 1896 the Fire Brigade had its capabilities tested to the utmost. Two houses with thatched roofs, in the main streets, caught fire at midday, when all hands were engaged in the fields, but the Brigade mustered quickly in sufficient force to prevent fire spreading to other houses.

The church
St Mary's parish church with its tower provides an important focal point that can be observed from numerous points in the village and is a landmark visible from miles around. The church is on the eastern side of the village. A church has stood on that site for more than 1,000 years. The first was dedicated to St Nicholas, and at west Marshfield there was another, of which no traces remain, to St Pancras. It is thought that a field called St Pancras Close marks the site. In Bristol Museum there is an ancient deed of about 1125 confirming to the Abbot of Tewkesbury various tithes and ecclesiastical benefices, among them Marshfield church, at that time very much smaller than the church we see today.

It is recorded in the annals of Tewkesbury Abbey that on 1 June 1242, in the reign of Henry III, Walter de Cantilupe, Bishop of Worcester, in whose diocese Marshfield then stood, came to dedicate a newly built church at Marshfield. The monks of Tewkesbury Abbey restored and rebuilt the church in the perpendicular style in about 1470. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries the right of presentation of the benefice was given to the warden and fellows of New College, Oxford, by Queen Mary, in lieu of property of which they had been robbed by Henry VIII of England. The college's first incumbent came into residence in 1642, only to be disposed during the English Civil War. New College still has the benefice in its gift.

A chalice of 1576 and a paten probably dating from 1695 are in regular use, and Communion plate given by the Long family in 1728, including two large flagons, is used for the Christmas Eve midnight service each year. The church was restored in 1860 and more carefully in 1887 and 1902-3 under Canon Trotman. The chapel of St Clement in the north aisle was restored to its original design in 1950 as a memorial to the late Major Pope of Ashwicke Hall, a considerable benefactor of Marshfield. A new cemetery to the north of the village was opened in 1932, the churchyard being full.

The Parish Register dates from 1558, the first years of Elizabeth I's reign. The first two volumes were indexed and fifty copies printed by a London antiquarian in the time of Canon Trotman. For the first 150 years entries were generally written in Latin and initially only baptisms were recorded, burials being first entered in 1567 and marriages five years later. Non-conformist worshippers in the village are served by Baptist and Congregational chapels, and by Hebron Hall. Conversion of an old barn into the present church hall was done in 1933 at a cost of £650.

The war memorial
According to inscriptions on the village's War Memorial 27 villagers died in action during the two Wars, 20 men during World War I 1914 - 1918 and 7 men during World War II 1939 - 1945.

The Community Centre
A Community Centre was built in 1991 following a long running campaign to secure the land and the funding. It was developed to provide the village with a full sized sports hall, a second smaller hall, a large kitchen and a light and open foyer area. In 2003, the Community Centre was extended to provide a carefully designed, bespoke building for the Marshfield Pre-School. During 2011, this was further improved by the development of a special sensory garden, just for pre school to enjoy. The Community Centre is available for rent to local groups and other groups/organisations further afield.

The Mummers of Marshfield
Every Boxing Day at 11:00am increasing numbers of visitors come to the village to see the performance of the celebrated Marshfield Mummers or The old time paper boys. Seven figures, led by the Town Crier with his handbell, dressed in costumes made from strips of newsprint and coloured paper, perform their play several times along the high street. Beginning in the Market place after the Christmas Hymns which are led by the vicar the mummers arrive to the sound of the lone bell. The five-minute performances follow the same set and continue up to the almshouses. The final performance is outside of one of the local public houses where the landlord delivers a tot of whisky for the "Boys".

Historical origins of mummers' play
There is evidence of mummers' plays since circa 1141. The Marshfield play was discontinued in the 1880s when a number of the players died of influenza but it was resurrected after the Second World War. In the past centuries the mummers were probably a band of villagers who toured the large houses to collect money for their own Christmas festivities. During the latter half of the 19th century the play lapsed, presumably for lack of interest. The play was not entirely forgotten however. Then, in 1931, the Reverend Alford, vicar of Marshfield, heard his gardener mumbling the words 'Room, room, a gallant room, I say' and discovered that this line was part of a mummers' play. The vicar's sister Violet Alford, a leading folklorist, encouraged the survivors of the troupe and some new members, including Tom Robinson (whose place was later taken by his brother), to revive the tradition. There was some dispute between Miss Alford and the elderly villagers as to how the play should actually be performed, and the resulting revival was a compromise which differs in several respects from other versions: St George has apparently become King William and Father Christmas appears as an extra character. The costumes, as well as the play's symbolism, are relics of an ancient and obscure original- perhaps the earliest performers were clad in leaves or skins, symbolizing the death and rebirth of nature.

The Paper Boys' play is a fertility rite with traces of medieval drama and incorporates the story of St George and the Dragon. It was never written down, and over the centuries gradually changed through re-tellings and re-contextualisation. The multiple and changing versions demonstrates its origins as a story handed down by word of mouth, a small remnant of largely lost oral traditions in the UK. There have to be seven characters as seven was thought to be a magic number. They include Old Father Christmas (the presenter of the play), King William who slays Little Man John who is resurrected by Dr Finnix (Phoenix, a rebirth theme). There's also Tenpenny Nit, Beelzebub who carries a club and a money pan and Saucy Jack who talks about some of his children dying—there are many references in mummers' plays about social hardship.

The Paper Boys have to belong to families that have lived in Marshfield for generations and they must have the Marshfield accent. When a role becomes available, precedence is given to the relatives of present members of the troupe. Because it is a fertility rite, women are not allowed to participate. Each costume comprises a garment made of brown cloth covered in sewn-on strips of newspaper—hence the name 'Paper Boys'. Each mummer maintains his own costume, repairing it as necessary. It is thought that, in the distant past the costumes bore leaves instead of paper strips.

Media and TV
Marshfield is justly proud of its special local tradition revived now for more than 40 years and looks forward each year to the social gathering each Boxing Day. The mummers have been featured on radio and television and at events of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. A few years ago they featured on the Rev. Lionel Fanthorpes "Fortean TV" aired on Channel 4. In 2002 they featured in a programme by Johnny Kingdom. In 2018 and 2019 the Sky TV detective series, "Agatha Raisin" filmed using locations in Marshfield. The lead actress lives nearby.

Historical fair
Until 25 October 1962, two fairs were held annually in Marshfield, one on 24 March and the other on 24 October. The fairs were first held in 1266 when the Abbot of Keynsham purchased the right and this privilege was confirmed in 1462. The rights of the fair must have passed to the Lord of the Manor at some time because in more recent times they were let to a manager at a yearly rental. In about 1885 the fair was rented by Mark Fishlock from Squire Orred of Ashwicke Hall.

Cattle, sheep, and pigs which were brought in for sale were penned in hurdles in front of the houses on one side of the High Street and White hart lane, causing much confusion, and clearing up afterwards. The streets at that time was unpaved. The farmers paid 1d per head for sheep and 2d per head for cattle sold at the fair, but no charge was made for animals not sold. Until more recent times the dealers and farmers bartered among themselves. Tolls had to be paid for all sheep sold at the rate of 4d a score, this being manorial right of the fair. In May 1901 the fair was taken out of the street to a field adjoining Back Lane. It was a large fair at that time and about four or five thousand sheep and 300 cattle were brought on foot from miles around to be sold. The Market Place was generally filled with sideshows of all sorts.

There were often accidents and during the October 1905, one Thomas White, aged 45, was killed on the roundabouts. Gradually the weekly markets at Bath, Chippenham, and Bridgeyate took the business away from Marshfield fairs: they no longer paid their way therefore and so ended.

Notable people connected with Marshfield

For much of 1940 The Maltings, at 78 High Street was home to several well known cultural figures who were trying to escape the effects of the war. -
 * Composer Lennox Berkeley
 * Composer Arnold Cooke
 * Critic John Davenport and his American wife Clement Davenport, a painter

The Hazlitt family also have connections to the village. In 1766 William Hazlitt senior, father of William Hazlitt became minister of the meeting house. John Hazlitt, a noted painter of miniature portraits, was born in the village.

In Oakford Lane leading down to St Catherine's Valley lived Major Jeremy Taylor who was a captain in the 23rd Hussars (Tank Regiment) and was decorated in World War II. He grew up on the estate in its heyday. He later worked as an Animal Wrangler in the film "Lawrence of Arabia" and performed the "long" camel riding shots for Peter O'Toole.

Interstate 189

Interstate 189 (I-189) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway in Chittenden County, Vermont. The spur extends for 1.49 mi from I-89 exit 13 in South Burlington to US Route 7 (US 7) at the Burlington city limit. I-189 is the only auxiliary route of I-89 and the only auxiliary Interstate Highway in Vermont.

Route description
I-189 serves as an Interstate-grade connector between I-89 and a commercial district along US 7 (Shelburne Road). It is signed as an east–west highway. Prior to 2010, only one directional sign had been posted on the highway, on the eastbound side after the on-ramp from US 7. Sign replacements and additions in late 2010 added directional signs on both the eastbound and westbound sides of the route.

History
The concept of I-189, named as the Southern Connector, and the Champlain Parkway into the city of Burlington along the waterfront and service an industrial area was first made in the mid-1960s. The construction of the C-1 Section (I-189/U.S. Route 7 interchange to Home Avenue), began construction sometime in the late 1980s, It was nearly completed in 1989, but the remediation plan development for the Pine Street Barge Canal Superfund Site delayed the construction of the C-2 Section (Home Avenue to Lakeside Avenue) and the C-8 Section (Lakeside Avenue to Battery Street through the Pine Street Barge Canal Superfund Site), and due to continued legal challenges. These challenges mostly came from the Pine Street Coalition, who argued the project was unnecessary and too costly as well as discriminatory due to the increased traffic in the low-income and minority residents of King and Maple streets neighborhood. The original Southern Connector project was eventually canceled as the city largely left behind its industrial past in favor of tourism in the 1980s and the roadway was abandoned just beyond the US 7 interchange. As a result, Jersey barriers are in place on I-189 west directing traffic onto the US 7 offramp, orphaning approximately 0.65 mi of road, along with a few ramps. More support of the project in recent years has led to a resumption of construction.

Future
The federal government previously gave the state a deadline to make a final decision on building the extension or they would lose matching funds. , consensus settled on a two-lane parkway named the "Champlain Parkway" that will run northerly from Home Avenue for about 0.7 mi, then curve onto existing city streets in order to funnel traffic into downtown away from US 7. I-189 will extend westward, then turn to the north, terminate at Home Avenue, and connect to the parkway. In August 2014, the parkway received its land use permit, clearing the way for the project to begin. Opposition to the $30-million project and changes to its design led to delays in construction, which finally began in June 2022. Parts of the road are slated to open in mid-2024, with the entire highway going into service in 2027.

Princess Tenko

Tenko Hikita II (二代目・引田 天功) (born Mariko Itakura (板倉 満里子); June 29, 1959), best known under the stage name of Princess Tenko and formerly Mari Asakaze (朝風 まり), is a Japanese pop singer turned magician specialising in grand illusions.

Biography
She was born Mariko Itakura in Arai, Niigata on June 29, 1959. At a young age, she suffered from a disease and was told that she might not live beyond the age of 18 years old. She received treatment at the children's hospital in the United States and had recovered since then.

In 1976, her mother sent her to be the apprentice to the Shodai (First Generation) Hikita Tenkō (初代・引田 天功), a male Japanese magician who was managed by the same person as Mariko. She debuted as a singer-magician under the stage name of Mari Asakaze (朝風 まり) in 1978. As Mari, she guest-starred in the Denshi Sentai Denjiman episode 31 The Magician's Battle of Secret Arts.

The older Tenko died of heart disease on December 31, 1979 at the age of 45. Though he had several apprentices, his sponsors chose Mariko as the next Tenko Hikita. Mariko debuted as Tenko Hikita II (二代目・引田 天功) at Hotel New Otani in Tokyo on December 15, 1980. The sponsors believed that she would clear older Tenko's huge debt, a speculation which was successful. She guest-starred as herself in two Metal Hero Series: episode 29 of Uchuu Keiji Gavan and episode 24 of Choujinki Metalder.

In 1989, she was named Magician of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood, becoming the first woman and the second Asian person to win the title. She debuted in North America at the Radio City Music Hall in 1994, and subsequently achieved worldwide fame. She was famous to the extent that Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic, an American magical girl-inspired cartoon series based on her character, was created and Mattel produced a line of fashion dolls named after her. In 1996, she became an honorary goodwill ambassador of the African Wild Animal Conservation Fund.

She was the subject of controversy after visiting North Korea in April 1998 where she reportedly met the former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, but she would deny this in interviews out of fear of having serious consequences. So Tenko would only stated that the purpose of her visit was to perform at the Friendship Art Festival held in Pyongyang and to meet Korean artists there.

After that Tenko and Kim would meet and they spoke about the world of entertainment and about illusion and also other ordinary things. She also noted that Kim was very interested in Japan. Kim Jong Il was noted to be a fan of Tenko and owned all eight versions of the Princess Tenko dolls, and he had also ordered the construction of a theater in Pyongyang bearing her name. Tenko was later delayed from leaving but was released only when she promised to return to visit soon.

She would visit North Korea again in 2000 and performed for Kim Jong Il. During her visit, she fell ill and stayed at the hospital for a month. She was asked to stay in North Korea but she refused.

On July 24, 2007, she performed The Spike Illusion, but that the trick went wrong, causing serious injury. After being released, she continued the show for a further thirty minutes before terminating it early at the urgings of her organizers due to her injuries.

Tenko met Kim Jong Il for the last time at a 2009 dinner party where he reportedly drank several glasses of whisky and later joked around with her. She was one of the selected foreigners invited to attend the funeral of Kim Jong Il in December 2011, but she declined.

In popular culture
Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic, the cartoon series based on her by Saban, is centered on Princess Tenko leading a team of warriors (Bolt, Hawk, Steel and apprentice Ali) called the Guardians who tried to amass the scattered and stolen magical Starfire Gems, each of which had a special power. Standing against them were twin villains Janna and Jason, who had the power to combine into a two-headed dragon. The cartoon ran for a single season of 13 episodes from 1995 to 1996. At the end of each episode, the real Princess Tenko would appear on stage and perform an illusion or teach a magic trick.

Denise Nickerson

Denise Marie Nickerson (April 1, 1957 – July 10, 2019) was an American child actress. At the age of 13 she starred as Violet Beauregarde in the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. She later played Allison on The Electric Company, and had recurring roles as Amy Jennings, Nora Collins, and Amy Collins in the soap opera Dark Shadows. She retired from acting in 1978 and later worked as a receptionist and office manager.

Early life
Nickerson was born on April 1, 1957, in New York City, to Florence Bickford, a clerical worker, and Fred Nickerson, a mail carrier. The family, along with older sister Carol moved to Miami. Nickerson, at the age of two, appeared in a television commercial for a Florida heating company. At the age of four she was discovered at a fashion show by Broadway Theatre producer Zev Buffman of drama school the Neighborhood Playhouse.

Theatre
In 1962, when she was five, Nickerson was in a play of Peter Pan as Wendy's daughter starring Betsy Palmer at Miami's Coconut Grove Playhouse. Buffman selected Nickerson to go on the road with the play, first to Washington, D.C. When Denise was nine, the play ended. Her parents moved Carol and Nickerson back to New York City at 56th and Lexington in a studio apartment while they (and Shane, Carol's son), stayed with her grandmother in Massachusetts.

In 1971, Nickerson, at 13, was cast as the nymphet Lolita, replacing the original actress Annette Ferra in the ill-fated musical, Lolita, My Love during its run in Boston, which closed on the road before reaching Broadway.

Film and television
Nickerson made appearances in the 1960s on such shows as The Doctors as Kate Harris, opposite Bill Bixby in an unsold television pilot called Rome Sweet Rome, and on The New Phil Silvers Show. Nickerson's big break came in 1968 when she joined the cast of ABC Daytime's Dark Shadows, appearing as recurring characters Amy Jennings, Nora Collins, and Amy Collins from 1968 to 1970. Upon leaving Dark Shadows, she appeared in the 1971 television movie The Neon Ceiling. That year, she appeared in her signature role as gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, based on Roald Dahl's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

From 1972 to 1973, Nickerson joined the cast of The Electric Company as "Allison", a member of the Short Circus music group. Producers saw the potential in her fresh face and had her sing lead on several songs, including "The Sweet Sweet Sway". She guest starred as Pamela, (one of two dates Peter Brady had on one night), in a final-season episode of The Brady Bunch titled "Two Petes in a Pod". She auditioned for the role of Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist, losing to Linda Blair. Also in 1974, Nickerson was Sophie Pennington, alongside Teddy Eccles, in the unsold television pilot If I Love You, Am I Trapped Forever?, based on M. E. Kerr's novel of the same name.

Nickerson created the role of Liza Walton on the CBS Daytime soap opera, Search for Tomorrow. She remained with the series until producers decided to age the character and make her one of the show's romantic heroines.

Later career
In 1973, Nickerson starred in the TV movie The Man Who Could Talk to Kids, opposite Peter Boyle and Scott Jacoby. In 1975 she appeared in the satiric, beauty-pageant inspired motion picture Smile, as Miss San Diego Shirley Tolstoy, also starring a young Melanie Griffith and Annette O'Toole.

In 1978, Nickerson appeared in the film Zero to Sixty opposite Darren McGavin and Sylvia Miles, and the TV film Child of Glass.

Post-acting career
After turning 21, Nickerson quit acting and subsequently began nursing school, but ultimately worked as a receptionist and later as an office manager/accountant in a doctor's office.

Nickerson was a longtime attendee at fan conventions for both Willy Wonka and Dark Shadows.

In 2001, Nickerson appeared in the documentary Pure Imagination: The Story of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, directed by J.M. Kenny.

In later years, Nickerson appeared on television sporadically, including an appearance on an episode of the 2000–2002 version of To Tell the Truth.

In 2003, Nickerson and some of her Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory castmates appeared on an episode of the British television documentary series, After They Were Famous, also directed by J.M. Kenny.

In 2011, some of the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory cast members, which included Nickerson, reunited for an episode of Top Chef: Just Desserts, which challenged the contestants to create an edible world of wonder. The partial Wonka cast reunited in 2011 and again in 2015 on The Today Show.

Personal life
Denise was married twice. Her first marriage was to Rick Keller in 1981; he died two years later of a brain aneurysm. Her second marriage was to Mark Willard in 1995; they had one son, Joshua Nickerson, before divorcing in 1998.

In 1976, Nickerson was hit by a car while crossing the street and was left in a full leg cast for eight months.

Health
In June 2018, Nickerson suffered a severe stroke and was hospitalized in intensive care. She was discharged to a rehabilitation center the following month. In August, she went home to live under her family's care. In September 2018, Julie Dawn Cole and Paris Themmen from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory visited Nickerson after she was discharged from a rehabilitation center.

Death
On July 8, 2019, Nickerson took an overdose of prescription medicines while her son and daughter-in-law were out; her son took her to a hospital in respiratory distress. While in intensive care, she developed pneumonia. She suffered a massive seizure the following day and slipped into a coma. She had a do not resuscitate order in place, and on July 10, her family removed her from life support. She died later that day from pneumonia at the age of 62.

London Cycling Campaign

The London Cycling Campaign (LCC) is an independent membership charity lobbying for better conditions for cycling in London. Its vision is to make London "a world-class cycling city". It is one of the largest urban cycling organisations in the world, with over 11,000 members.

Activities
LCC was formed in 1978, through the merger of several London-based pro-cycling groups, some supported by Friends of the Earth. The organisation was officially founded on 28 September 1978 at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese public house on Fleet Street, and its first offices were at 40 James Street, London W1.

The organisation has grown steadily in membership and staffing over the years, and now employs 15 people to promote cycling, lobby government at all levels, and support its members. In 2006, the organisation became a charity to take advantage of more favourable tax conditions. Its head office is now located at Unit 201 Metropolitan Wharf, 70 Wapping Wall, London E1W 3SS.

LCC is not allied to any political party, but works with other organisations and individuals campaigning for more enlightened use of public space in the capital — such as Living Streets, CTC, Sustrans and RoadPeace.

The majority of LCC's funding comes from membership subscriptions and charitable grants.

LCC publishes a magazine for its 11,000 members, called the London Cyclist. The publication was originally called the Daily Cyclist, the name being a light-hearted parody of British newspapers. The magazine serves to keep members in touch with the organisation's campaigns, and is also sent to many decision-makers in the capital.

A number of independent cycling clubs affiliate to the London Cycling campaign which gives them the chance to support LCC's work and improve cycling for everyone in London, including London Clarion Cycling Club, London Dynamo and Islington Cycling Club.

Campaigns
Current campaigns include:

 * More cycle-friendly streets through the use of cycle lanes and traffic-calming
 * Reducing the danger to cyclists from lorries or heavy goods vehicles
 * Better cycle parking in and around workplaces, residences, town centres and public buildings
 * More carriage of cycles on public transport, including railways, London Underground and buses
 * Improving cycling access to London's parks and canal towpaths
 * Reducing the problem of bike theft in Greater London
 * Improving access to cycling for people of all abilities

LCC campaigns are backed up by a network of local LCC member groups at the London borough level. Local LCC groups liaise with their local Borough Council, relevant Transport for London Streets Management section, Sustrans and other statutory and non-statutory authorities to comment on local plans and developments that affect cyclists, pedestrians and the local environment.

Borough groups
There is a local group for each London borough. Groups also organise cycle rides and other social events.

Encore (Eminem song)

"Encore" (stylized as "ƎNCORE" and sometimes known as "Curtains Down") is a song by American rapper Eminem featuring 50 Cent and Dr. Dre. It was written by the artists alongside Chris Pope, Mike Elizondo, and Mark Batson, the latter of which produced it with Dr. Dre. The title track from the Eminem album of the same name, it was released on November 9, 2004 as the third single on vinyl in the U.S. and is the final track from the album.

The song was nominated for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the Grammy Awards of 2006, but lost to Black Eyed Peas song "Don't Phunk with My Heart". No music video was filmed for this song. Eminem, Dre and 50 Cent would later return to work together on the song "Crack a Bottle" from Relapse. On Encore, "One Shot 2 Shot" segues into the skit "Final Thought", which then segues into Encore, which also segues into the "Curtains Down" skit.

"Curtains Down" skit
After the song is over, "Encore" features a line by Eminem alerting listeners of Dr. Dre's upcoming album Detox. Eminem tells his audience "Don't worry about that Detox album. It's coming. We're gonna make Dre do it." In the song, Eminem hints at his career aspirations with the line, "10 Multi-Platinum albums later three Diamond worldwide, we hit the charts with a bullet, and still climb." After "Encore", the next track on the album is a skit in which Eminem returns to the stage, stating that he forgot "one more thing", starts shooting at the crowd, and shoots himself through the mouth. The album's last lines are "See you in hell, fuckers" in a robotic voice, created by Eminem using an electrolarynx. Many critics thought that it might have meant Eminem will totally stop his music career. Others see it as him getting rid of his alter ego "Slim Shady", and coming back as a whole new rapper. Eminem had stated that, at that moment in time, he was not certain about the future but that he would still be involved in the music industry.

The edited version fades out before the shooting segment begins. It was later confirmed that the shooting was meant to represent the death of Slim Shady. Shady however returned in Relapse, coming back after Eminem was released from a rehabilitation center. The skit was hinted in the earlier skit "Em Calls Paul", in which he tells his manager Paul Rosenberg through the phone that he has a good idea for the ending - "I have this idea about how I want to end the show" - in the same electrolarynx voice. In the skit, he also lies to Paul that he didn't get a new gun, referencing an earlier skit on the album where Paul hears rumors about him having a new gun as well as a skit on The Eminem Show, where Paul was stressed over Eminem bringing his gun to the studio.

Critical response
HipHopDX praised the song: "The best might be last [...] as Dre and 50 join Eminem for the title track and a surefire hit song." NME was negative: "‘Encore/Curtains Down’ is the archetypal ‘gang’s all here’ show-closer, only with much more swearing and ‘the gang’ in this case being Dr Dre and 50 Cent, who are really the only two of Eminem's collaborators who deserve to share his applause. A round of applause which, by the way, hidden-significance-spotters, ends with Eminem blowing his brains out." RapReviews was positive: "the album finally closes with a sure shot banger 'Encore/Curtains Down.' The Doctor lays the beat, Eminem drops the hook, and Eminem and Dre foray flames back and forth:

John Bockris

Bernhardt Patrick John O’Mara Bockris (5 January 1923 – 7 July 2013) was a South African professor of chemistry, latterly at Texas A&M University. During his long and prolific career he published some 700 papers and two dozen books. His best known work is in electrochemistry but his output also extended to environmental chemistry, photoelectrochemistry and bioelectrochemistry. In the 1990s he experimented with cold fusion and transmutation, topics on which his unorthodox views provoked controversy.

Early life
John Bockris was born on 5 January 1923, in Johannesburg, South Africa. His mother was Emmeline Mary MacNally and his father Alfred Bockris. He attended a sequence of schools in Brighton, including the preparatory school Withdean Hall from 1934 to 1937, and Xaverian College, a Catholic secondary school, from 1937 to 1940. His father was not present during his childhood: His mother and aunt earned their income from tailoring.

University education
In 1940 Bockris began his scholarly education at Brighton Technical College, which after World War II became Brighton University. Bockris wanted to study for a degree in Physics but this was not possible due to wartime staff shortages. Instead he took a two-year general degree in the natural sciences. In 1943, after a year of further study, he was accepted by Imperial College, London as a graduate student. He avoided conscription into the British armed forces due to his South African nationality.

Bockris relates that his supervisor, Harold Ellingham, provided minimal guidance and soon left the university altogether. Despite these obstacles, Bockris finished the research for his thesis, Electrochemistry of Non-aqueous Solutions, in two years, and received his doctorate in September 1945.

Academic career
Upon completion of his doctorate, at the age of 22, Bockris was immediately appointed to the faculty of Imperial College on the recommendation of Harry Emeléus. Over the course of the next eight years he supervised 28 graduate students with whom he co-authored a sufficient number of publications to qualify for his D.Sc., which he obtained in 1952. Among these students was Roger Parsons, a future fellow of the Royal Society, whom Bockris held in high regard.

Bockris moved to USA in 1953 to join the University of Pennsylvania as Professor of Chemistry, where he built a large and active research group. It was here that he published his best known work: the first model of the electrode-electrolyte surface to include the dipole moment of the solvent, and his two-volume textbook Modern Electrochemistry. After 18 years in Philadelphia, however, departmental politics became such that Bockris felt the need to move. During next appointment, at Flinders University of South Australia from 1971 onwards, his interests broadened to include photoelectrochemistry and environmental chemistry. In 1979 Bockris made his final move to Texas A&M University where he remained until his retirement in 1997. In his later years his research focus veered further toward sources of energy and he embraced positions on some controversial topics that acquired a certain celebrity but damaged his professional reputation.

Electrode kinetics remained a major component of his research program throughout. Bockris also conducted investigations of high temperature chemistry, the determinants of electrolyte solubility, and hydrogen/metal interactions.

Bockris was a prolific scholar, collaborator, and mentor. By the end of his career, he had authored, coauthored or edited more than 700 papers and two dozen books, and 85 students had obtained a PhD degree with his supervision.

Hydrogen as a fuel
In 1970, Bockris, then a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said he had found a method for using sunlight to free hydrogen from water and coined the term "hydrogen economy" to describe the application of the anticipated technology. In 1975 he published a book on the subject. In 1982, at Texas A&M, he announced a "quantum leap" in his hydrogen-fuel technology through a "secret catalyst" that split water into hydrogen and oxygen even without the energy of sunlight. In 1984, he said he had found a material that facilitated complete conversion of sunlight to electricity. All of these "discoveries" were eventually attributed to basic errors in his research, although Bockris himself never acknowledged his mistakes.

Cold fusion
Bockris performed a series of cold fusion experiments in the wake of the announcement in 1989 by Pons and Fleischmann that their electrolysis of heavy water had produced results consistent with nuclear fusion. Many groups attempted similar experiments: Bockris' research group was one of few to provide results that supported those of Pons and Fleischmann, reporting decisive evidence of tritium production. Their results were greeted with widespread skepticism. Gary Taubes wrote an editorial in Science suggesting that their cells might have been spiked with tritiated water. An academic tribunal at Texas A&M eventually ruled out fraud, declaring that intentionally spiked experiments gave different results. Bockris, seemingly inured to criticism, published his side of the controversy in a stubborn defense of academic freedom.

Though his professional reputation declined after this episode, the International Society for Condensed Matter Nuclear Reactions continued to hold Bockris in high esteem, awarding him its Preparata Medal in 2012.

Transmutation
In 1993, Bockris claimed to be experimenting with the transmutation of elements, specifically of base metals into gold. The scientist received a degree of media attention for these extraordinary claims, to the extent that other academics at Texas A&M felt that the institution's reputation was suffering from the connection to the discredited "science" of alchemy. An editorial by Mike Epstein in the Journal of Scientific Exploration describes what happened next:

 * A petition signed by 23 of the 28 distinguished professors at Texas A&M called on the university provost to strip Bockris of his title as distinguished professor. The petition follows a letter written by 11 full professors in the chemistry department (out of the department's 38 full professors) calling on Bockris to resign and remove the "shadow" he has cast over the department. The petition from the distinguished professors said "For a trained scientist to claim, or support anyone else's claim to have transmuted elements is difficult for us to believe and is no more acceptable than to claim to have invented a gravity shield, revived the dead or to be mining green cheese on the moon. We believe that Bockris' recent activities have made the terms 'Texas A&M' and 'Aggie' objects of derisive laughter throughout the world..."

Epstein's conclusion, however, was a defense of academic freedom:

 * "However, I would remind those who seek his ouster or demotion that their actions threaten the core of academic freedom. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, but no one should be punished for attempting to provide that proof".

The petition failed, and Dr. Bockris was eventually absolved by a four-professor panel of violating Texas A&M standards in proposing, conducting or reporting controversial research.

In 1997, Bockris was awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in the field of Physics for his work in cold fusion and transmutation. The awardee declined to accept the trophy in person.

Troop 144 of Seattle, WA
Not notable enough. Dead end article.-- BMIComp (talk) 13:40, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * (I am the author of the Troop 144 Wiki entry) It is my first one so I am open to all suggestions and assistance.  The Troop 144 Wiki entry is modeled after the approved Troop 26, Tulsa, OK entry. (Unsigned comment by 128.95.53.59,  11:02, 20 July 2005)
 * Delete - I don't think that they're notable enough to deserve their own wikipedia entry, have they done anything of note? Also, could you link us to the Troop 26 article so we can have a look at that too? Thanks, -- Joolz 16:18, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Does not establish notability. It needs to establish more notability. If it's just a boyscout troop, i'd have to say it's not notable. If it has done something special or gotten on TV (not public access cable) or something, then add that to it and i'd vote to keep it. --Phroziac (talk) 16:20, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troop_26%2C_Tulsa%2C_OK It is now under review for deletion. Oops, guess I got them in trouble. (sorry Troop 26!)
 * (I am the author). Thanks for the suggestions.  I have added that we were the featured group in a national publication.  As requested, here is the link to the Troop 26 entry:

 * Delete Not notable. - Grpunkim 18:43, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just another Boy Scout Troop. However, I wouldn't oppose a single list of all troops (assuming there aren't thousands) giving some basic info on each (year founded, location, um, that's probably about it). That much could be useful, if it isn't already here somewhere. -R. fiend 20:37, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are thousands of Boy Scout troops: 43,984 at year end 2004 to be exact; a list of them would not make a good article.  --Metropolitan90 01:20, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Shit. Are there that many? Wow. And to think I was once in Troop 7. That's a much easier number to remember than, say, Troop 37,894. I don't even see how that would fit on the sleeve of a uniform. -R. fiend 04:03, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Each local council numbers its troops separately; there would have been other Troop 7's in other states and maybe even in other parts of the same state. By the way, I should have said that 43,984 troops is just the number of troops in the USA; Scouting exists in something like 160 countries. --Metropolitan90 06:18, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, that certainly makes sense. If I had given the matter a moment's thought (which I had never done before) I probably would have realized this. Well, I hated the scouts anyway. -R. fiend 00:31, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Less notable than the school they attend. -Splash 22:07, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy or delete. 128.95.53.59, why not create an account? It's free, takes about ten seconds, and requires disclosure of no personal information at all, not so much as an email address. You get a user name and a "user page." This is very suitable material for your user page. Google indexes user pages so people searching for Troup 144 would find it. Sorry for the rough introduction to Wikipedia, and I hope you decide to stay anyway. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:21, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn self promotion. JamesBurns 08:13, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

This article's name is no longer being disputed. For more information, see Talk:Lucario.

The section on Wave Guidance was merged in from its own article. For history prior to the merge see

Plot
This article's plot section is in desperate need of a review. It has poor formatting, spelling errors and general poor quality of work in trying to explain the movie's plot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.238.124.151 (talk) 20:42, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree completely. I'll get around to it eventually; hopefully soon. Oh, and remember to sign your talk page posts by typing four tildes (~) . Cheers. -sesuPRIME talk • contribs 01:24, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Still needs to be revised. A plot description of a movie should not contain the ending in detail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.8.80.107 (talk) 01:46, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:SPOILER. Melicans (talk, contributions) 04:01, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * He isn't saying it is a spoiler. He is saying that it goes way too much into detail, which is not what plot sections should do. Blake (Talk·Edits) 15:12, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

The Ratings
I was originally going to comment on some information (which I couldn't even find on Movie Tome) in the first paragraph, but thankfully an anonymous user with the IP adress 65.103.2.224 deleted it, and hopefully it'll stay deleted.

The same Movie Tome page mentioned above does not mention any rating except for a single "Y7 FV(PG)", so the ratings that User:Ryanasaurus0077 posted had to come from somewhere else. And since Movie Tome relies on user contributions, I even have doubts about the accuracy of that Y7/PG rating.

In fact, isn't a Japanese PG-12 rating (or for that matter, Canadian 14A or British 12A rating) an equivalent to an American PG-13 rating? That would suggest that this movie has about the same level of violence as, for example, the most recent Star Wars or Harry Potter movie, which it clearly doesn't. It IS targeted mainly to young children, after all...

Another question: why would the Japanese version need ratings in America, the UK, Canada, Australia, etc., when it's only available in Japan? Same goes for the dub getting a rating in Japan, as dub versions were only available there as extras for the first three movie DVDs.

In short, due to a lack on concrete evidence of these ratings, and the fact that this movie is entirely too tame for the equivalent of a PG-13 rating, I have removed them from the article. Wonk619 05:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Did you know that the InuYasha movies have a PG rating in the USA, a 12(A) rating in the UK, a 14A rating in Canada, and a PG-12 rating in Japan? This might be the fate of Pokemon: Mew and the Wave-Guiding Hero for some intense sci-fi action. --Ryanasaurus0077 16:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Unless I'm searching incorrectly, the MPAA's online ratings database, filmratings.com, doesn't list any InuYasha films. tregoweth 23:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The phrase "Parental Guidance Suggested" gives the PG rating away. --Ryanasaurus007 01:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Unless the MPAA rated it PG, it's not rated PG. A notice of "Parental Guidance Suggested" is equivalent, but not the same thing. tregoweth 05:31, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Did you know that "Parental Guidance Suggested" actually gives away a PG rating? --Ryanasaurus007 11:55, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Did you know that you have basically said the exact same thing twice? I'd also like to reiterate that, unless I overlooked something, Movie Tome has none of the information that you keep posting in this article; ditto with the InuYasha movies you mentioned above. Finally, why on Earth would a movie released in 2005/06 be rated by standards from the 1960s? Wonk619 16:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * You're brave with a man who supports the '60s MPAA, now, ain't you? Now don't you dare start an edit war. --Ryanasaurus0077 22:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * What is this attitude? Who do you think you are? You are the one trying to start an edit war here. Stop your childishness and actions at once, or else I will refer you for disciplinary action. THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING. A.K.R. 06:04, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * *enters as "Fistful of Dollars main theme" plays* I meant when I said "You're brave with a man who supports the '60s MPAA, now, ain't you?" that the '60s is just as cool as the new millenium, and that the '60s MPAA, '70s MPAA, and all the other MPAA generations are not to be dissed or the next one who disses them will get a harsh rating from them. I wasn't trying to be childish! --Ryanasaurus0077 17:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Whatever you think about this. It doesn't matter. Wikipedia is not something that you can continuously edit on your opinion of something. It's these things that make me wish there was an SfD (Sections for Deletion), but since we're at the talk page, and we've people disagreeing on allowing you to remake this stupid section, I suggest you leave it alone unless you wish to be forwarded to the administrators to have them deal with you. --Anthony Jake La (Tetsuya-san; talk : contribs) 21:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The Ratings, revisited
I do not believe I need to comment, but we've got numerous anonymous IPs coming in and making all the relevant edits to above? --Anthony Jake La (Tetsuya-san; talk : contribs) 05:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * True, I personally suspect that those IPs are actually Ryanasaurus' sock puppets. Wonk619 16:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * None of which I go under as of now. --Ryanasaurus0077 18:28, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Sequel category
To the editor(s) continuously adding the "sequel" category, please cease such action. It is requested that you stop this as Pokémon movies are considerably NOT sequels. --Anthony Jake La (Tetsuya-san; talk : contribs) 13:57, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

English Title
Source? I'm just wondering... Cabby2 01:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * never mind. I see its english name on other pages now. Cabby2 14:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I say that according to Pokemon Elite 2000, the offical English title was revealed to be Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

Number of movies
Technically, this would be the ninth Pokemon movie instead of the eighth as reported, as there are already 8 current movies under the name of Pokemon, being The First Movie, Pokemon 2000, Pokemon 3, Mewtwo Returns, Pokemon 4ever, Pokemon Heroes, Jirachi Wish Maker and Destiny Deoxys. P.S.: Please sign your comments using ~.
 * Mewtwo Returns is, among others, considered a Pokémon special, made for television. See for more info Pokémon movies and Pokémon specials/OAVS. -- Face 11:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, Mewtwo Returns is only, so far i know, on video and all the other movies are numbered the same as the season it was made for, like "Pokemon Lucario and the mystery of mew" was made during the 8th season, and that was the 8th movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.135.23 (talk) 01:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Lucario's Legendary Status and Voice Actor list.
Firstly, I want to mention that it has not been confirmed that Lucario is a Legendary Pokemon. Secondly, I'd like to ask is the voice actor table correct? Shouldn't Nintendo's pet studio be dubbing this instead of 4Kids?

Toys-R-Us event
I was excited to see about the Mew download event at Toys-R-Us on September 30, 2006 and immediately went to the company's site to ask where in my area that I could take my son to have Mew downloaded. Here is their response:

Thank you for contacting the "R" Us Family. I apologize, but we do not have information on the announcement you are asking about. Please contact the webpage in question for details. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please call 1-800-toysrus or email again.

Sincerely, Toys "R" Us Guest Relations Team

And this is with sending them a link to the original article. If someone could please let me know if/when there will be a Mew download 'event', I would appreciate it. If there is no event, please remove the misleading information from the article.

Thank youAlpha48185 15:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Toys-R-Us event - an apology
Greetings Trainers,

I apologize. Today I received an email from Nintendo which also mentioned the Mew download. I will now need to access the Nintendo site for further details.

Sorry for offending anyone. Alpha48185 15:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Trivia mistake
In the trivia section, it says the following:

"This is the only movie so far to have scenes from the anime (Pikachu saving Ash from the flock of Spearow in episode one)."

I believe that this is incorrect, and that there's a similar flashback in the introduction to the fifth Pokemon movie, Pokemon Heroes. I'm deleting that comment from the trivia section, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

- May 2nd, 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.59.57 (talk • contribs)

 * No, you're right about that. In the first movie, they showed a scene from The Battle of the Badge with Gary battling Giovanni with his Nidoking and Arcanine. --PAK Man + 04:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think in that case it's just the same scene but with new, different footage.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 05:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, that scene was just to show how powerful Mewtwo was, and thay so happened to have a scene from that episode, and thay also wanted to show what pokemon that was in The Battle of the Bage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.135.23 (talk) 01:50, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

who redirected the Arron (Pokemon) article and why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sir aaron sama girl (talk • contribs)

Trivia
I edited May's quote, as she said "Hey, Pikachu!", not "Hey you, Pikachu!". I believe now that is correct it doesn't belong in the article because it isn't very noteworthy. But I'm not sure, so feel free to delete it if you think it shouldn't be here. Deoxys911 20:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've already removed it...the entire trivia section should be removed anyway, as it's a good idea to avoid trivia sections. -Sukecchi 20:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

When did she say that? I don't remember that in the movie, if it was in the movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.135.23 (talk) 01:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Edit
Someone recently edited this page, taking out the part about Lucario's death being subject to debate, and added a ton of grammar and spelling errors. I reverted as much back as I could with my limited wikipedia knowledge, but it still needs fixing; if you think it's bad now, you should have seen how sloppy the last person made it... There is debate on if Lucario and Aaron are dead, or simply were teleported. Their bodies were not shown (as Aaron's was originally), but instead disappeared in blue spheres similar to Mew's teleport attack in the first movie. It's very odd that Lucario did not simply freeze as Aaron did when he first used his aura to save the tree, and odder still that Aaron and Lucario are seen eating chocolate on Earth, in the exact same spot they met. It couldn't have been a flashback, as Lucario had not eaten chocolate until Max gave it to him in the movie.

If this is too long of a rant for you, just, please, realize that you shouldn't edit something into Wikipedia unless you know it's 100% fact. If you insist on doing so, at least try to make your wording a lot less awkward. Wikipedia is not AIM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.248.165.242 (talk) 18:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Final (29/1/1) ending 13:35 27 July 2005 (UTC)

James has been here more than one year now, and has been an excellent contributor to Wikipedia. His own articles have mostly focused on topics related to Western Canada and Ukrainian-Canadians. He has also made solid contributions to two articles which are now featured, Louis Riel and Niagara Falls. I would characterise him as a relatively uncontroversial editor's editor dedicated to NPOV, who tackles vandalism whenever it crops up and who will make responsible use of the janitor's mop.

 * 15) Good editor, sensible guy: support. -- Hoary 04:59, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * 16) I made it through this process with 1500 edits at most, over the same period of time. Mackensen (talk) 12:10, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * 19) Support -- he's answering my questions about page deletion...I figure I either have to support him or resign in disgrace. :-) Seriously, in my experience he seems very calm, intelligent, and likely to do well in this role. Jwrosenzweig 05:37, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 20) Support -- Long time contributor, good editor. Number of edits is proportional to quality of work, prefer better quality over high edit count.  ∞ Who ? ¿ ?  21:39, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 21) Support, I am persuaded out of neutrality. (And I've moved my previous comments down to the 'comments' section.) -Splash 22:33, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

 * 23) Wholeheartedly Support, look at all he's done... wow... we need this guy!!! Now get ready to swab, sailor! SWAB I SAY! :) GarrettTalk 22:48, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 24) Support; I've seen many good things from him and expect he'd do well with admin tools, too. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 17:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 25) The romantic in me supports (see below). --Michael Snow 19:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * 26) Support, excellent contributor. - SimonP 23:56, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * 27) Support. Impressive article-space edits, and an indication that you will help close out VfD discussions can only be a Good Thing™. android  79  01:51, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * 28) Support. Definitely. He's helped me out on RC patrol, and looks like he's highly qualified in the other areas as well. — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:50, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * 29) Support adminship will be a plus in his already remarkable fight on vandalism.-Poli (talk • contribs) 14:20, 2005 July 26 (UTC)

Oppose
 * Weak Oppose. Not because he voted as such for me, but I have to agree with Splash below on the 1800 edits over a year. That's terribly inactive. I made that much in about 3 weeks. Step it up a bit. Redwolf24 04:29, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 04:39, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Why do you oppose everyone on rfa? Don't you see a problem with that? --Phroziac (talk) 19:59, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think Boothy adds a bit of local colour to the "meh, no big deal"/"what, they're not one already?!?" RfAs... :) No vote yet, I will have to think this over... as I do with everyone as a matter of fact. GarrettTalk 10:42, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Neutral
 * 1) I'm of two minds.  1) James has contributed greatly to many articles and he is keen to improve on existing articles or create new articles.  2) However, if he becomes admin, does that mean he'll be sucked into the black hole that is Wikipedia and I'll never see my fiance again? :)  CWood 01:43, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Almost certainly, yes. Also see cabal. :-) Splash 02:15, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe you need to be an admin too. That way we can set up a cozy little place in the black hole together.  :)  -- JamesTeterenko 04:29, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * "...and they Vfd'd happily ever after..." ...awww... :) I wish my fiance was interested in Wikipedia... wait, what am I saying, I don't even HAVE a fiance yet! *sniffs* :( GarrettTalk 10:42, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * For #2, yes, so clearly you just need to get sucked in yourself. :-) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 17:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * 'm struggling to decide . Editcountitis can be fatal, but 1800 over the course of a year isn't all that many. But, they are pretty constant i.e. he hasn't only just started making edits. He does participate in VfD, and has done some rescues from there and thus would probably be clear enough on how that sort of thing works. Nothing in TfD/CfD/etc but they're backwaters by comparison to VfD anyway. However, all of Wikipedia:, Wikipedia talk: and User talk: space edits together total only 237 (and a number of those are recent RfA votes), which is too few for me really. But there's the decent edits and the RC patrol that appears in his (sub-2000 entries long) contributions list. So I'll listen to the debate and then decide. I have now changed my vote from neutral to support.-Splash 22:33, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. The most useful aspect will be to revert vandalism.  Also, I expect that I will help clean up results of votes such as WP:VFD.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. My favourite is Maksym Berezovsky.  It is one of my earlier articles and I believe that it is the best information available on the web on him.  I am also happy with my progress on the Calgary mayors.  I started from the beginning and have made it more than half way down the list.  I also really enjoyed working on the Louis Riel and related articles when getting it to featured status.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Not really.  I use Wikipedia as a break from the stress of the real world.  I suppose it helps that many of the topics that I write about are not of interest to others.  As for the future, I expect that I continue to do the same.  If I disagree with someone, I will try to state my case clearly.  If we do not reach agreement, I would look to the opinions of others.

Stephan Kinsella

Norman Stephan Kinsella (born 1965) is an American intellectual property lawyer, author, and deontological anarcho-capitalist. His legal works have been published by Oxford University Press, Oceana Publications, Mises Institute, Quid Pro Books and others.

Education
Born in Prairieville, Louisiana, he attended Louisiana State University where he earned Bachelor of Science (BS) and Master of Science (MS) degrees in electrical engineering, and a Juris Doctor (JD) from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center (formerly known as LSU Law Center). He also obtained an LL.M. at the University of London.

Career
Kinsella was general counsel of Applied Optoelectronics, Inc., of Sugar Land, Texas from 2000 to 2012 and is currently in private practice in Houston, Texas. He was formerly an adjunct scholar of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a right-libertarian think-tank for the promotion of Rothbardian political thought and the Austrian School of economics, where he was Book Review Editor for the Journal of Libertarian Studies and a faculty member of the Mises Academy. Kinsella also founded the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) of which he currently is the Director. In May 2022 he was elected to the Libertarian Party Judicial Committee, but was subsequently disqualified due to being two months short of the 4 year Libertarian Party membership requirement to hold the office. As of August 2022, he is eligible and it's believed that he'll be appointed by the LP Judicial Committee to fill the vacancy caused by his ineligible run in May 2022.

Publications
Kinsella's legal publications include books and articles about patent law, contract law, e-commerce law, international law, and other topics.

Views
Kinsella is a strong opponent of intellectual property, arguing that patents and copyrights should not form part of a proper libertarian law code. He is a proponent of Hans-Hermann Hoppe's theory on argumentation ethics. He is an atheist, having previously been a devout Catholic.
