Talk:Reel Big Fish

Tours
Should I put up a tours section. It could list upcoming and previous tour with the name of the tour and the countries it covered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.36.77 (talk) 23:04, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Mojo is not an indie label, it is a subsidiary of Universal. Boo!

 * Scott Klopfenstein it listed on the right section as a band member, but not on the left under "Members". I'd link it, but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about his position in the band (I think he does trumpet and backup vocals.)

 * hey guys, just to let you know: reel big fish continued their 'shout it loud'-tour in australia with less than jake and streetlight manifesto - not as you say in the article just by themselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.171.184.126 (talk) 07:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Female vocalist
Who do they use for female vocals? e.g. "she has a girlfriend now" Graldensblud 20:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Sometimes a girl from another band will accompany them; eg Monique Powell from Save Ferris did it back in the 90s. Other times, Scott just makes his voice go really high.  Dac 22:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The original female vocals on Turn the Radio Off were by Aaron Barrett's then girlfriend, Gwen Stefani. Supposedly there was a bad breakup, which led to many references in future songs of his dislike for her (We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful, "And when they're No Doubt that makes it even worse".  Unfortunately I don't know the reference for all this, but I believe the band has a blog or history somewhere with this information, because I know I heard it from the band.  Darkage7 03:09, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

 * What are you talking about, there was never any relationship. Barett has gone on record a few times saying he made anything about him and Stefani up as a joke.  Dac 08:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh wow, I feel stupid. Dang. But that poses the question of why do they make fun of No Doubt?  Anyone know?  Darkage7 19:10, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

 * It's not so much actively making fun of them, just poking fun at them. They don't go out of their way to do it.  And to answer your question, it's essentially after they toured together in the late-90's just before the release of Why Do They Rock So Hard? they just have a joking sort of relationship with No Doubt.  I gather there's no actual hostility.  Dac 22:29, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

NPOV
The last sentence of the introductory paragraph seems POV (In the elitist "That's not real ska" sense), as the band itself, its fans, and many others identify it as a ska or ska-punk band. Thoughts? —Casey J. Morris 11:17, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

I think it seems a little POV.

I'd consider them ska-punk, they have all the attributes you'd associate with the genre. plus riding on the coat-tails of 90's ska popularity - they've been around since before the peak, and even so that peak wasn't exactly huge. Not really worth trying to ride on the coat-tails of anyway. :P

Choice of langage

should the word fucking be with spirtiral adviser

DVD's
Live at House Of Blues DVD Added a DVD section in discography, included "Live at the House of Blues" and "Our Live Album is Better..." Would be great if we could get an article on "Live at the House Of Blues" for further information on the DVD.

Update Got the link in for the House of Blues taping

How bout a pic? I'd put one up, but I couldn't say with confidence whether it was current given all the line up changes.

Lineup Aaron Barrett, Scott Klopfenstein, Tyler Jones, Carlos De La Garza, Dan Regan, Matt Wong

Favourite Noise
There is no reference to this 'greatest hits' compilation. Why? Is this the album they hate?Mightymouseman (talk) 21:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Favorite Noise isn't a greatest hits album, as far as I know. It was just released abroad.  The album they hate is "greatest hits and more"... because jive isn't paying them for using their songs. Darkage7 (talk) 22:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

You're All In This Together/Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album
You're All In This Together is the DVD.

Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album is the two disk cd.

Trust me, I own two copies of the DVD (one personally given by the band) and one copy of the cd set.

stop changing it.

-thanks (any questions, email to ajgoff@gmail.com, and include Reel Big Fish in your subject line)

Until today, I thought this band and Phish were one in the same.

Cover Songs Overhaul
The cover songs section was messy as Hell, I overhauled it with links galore and exactly where each song appeared. I'm aware that a couple more exist ("Rock It With I" on Cheer Up! for example, which I have forgotten who originally performed) so if anyone can help out that'd be just cracking. I left off the Rave Master theme "Rave-o-lution" (as it is an original song as far as I can tell, not a cover) although I feel that it should be mentioned elsewhere in the article.

MartyHol 4th January 2007 03:55 (GMT)

 * Just added "Rave-o-lution" to the compilations section. So scratch that. Why aren't I asleep?

 * MartyHol 4th January 2007 04:26 (GMT)

 * Since you've overhauled them, is that segment in the opening paragraph about covers really necessary? Dac 00:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I hope not, because the opening paragraph in general offends my eyes. I was going to have a play with it and see what worked best, I've just been somewhat busy recently. Please do remove it if you have more time than I do!

 * MartyHol 6th January 2007 20:25 (GMT)

 * "but the band has many other trademark songs like "Beer", "She Has a Girlfriend Now", "Good Thing", and "Everything Sucks" (to name a few). The band is also known for their numerous cover songs, which include a-Ha's "Take On Me," Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly", Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York," Tracy Chapman's "Talkin' Bout a Revolution", The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry", and Social Distortion's "Story of My Life".  In addition, Reel Big Fish enjoys playing live shows in which they perform one or more of their songs, usually "S.R." in many various styles, possibly for the effect of showing the versatility of the song, appealing to different musical interests, or displaying their talent in different styles. Their music is often comedic, with names like "She has a Girlfriend Now" and "Your Guts (I Hate 'Em)"."

 * What does that last sentence even mean? In my opinion this entire section of the opening paragraph is poorly written and mostly superfluous. The "S.R." bit could go in either DVD article, if anywhere.

 * MartyHol 6th January 2007 20:28 (GMT)

 * Reworking done, what d'you think? Dac 21:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Looks much better! Good stuff. MartyHol 7th January 2007 12:34 (GMT)

 * Sigh. To whoever added them: I personally think that 'other covers' that have not been officially recorded pretty much constitutes unverifiable information. Thus, I left them off. Is Average Man a cover? If so, find out who originally performed it and it can be added as it is an official recording (featured on the UK Where Have You Been? CD single, if nowhere else). MartyHol 2nd February 2007 07:22 (GMT)

Other projects?
can you really consider some of the ones listed other band MEMBER projects? some of them involve the whole band, such as BASEketball and the one about the anime.

Cover Songs
"It is a common misconception that Reel Big Fish have recorded a ska-punk version of the song Hotel California by The Eagles. The song in question is actually performed by the band SkaDaddyZ."

It's a common misconception by most people with only a half-arsed interest in third wave ska that pretty much every single cover found on Limewire, Morpheus, Kazaa, et al is recorded by either Reel Big Fish or Less Than Jake. Lyric sites confirm these misconceptions quite adequately, and I don't think this article would benefit from a list of songs that "People believe to have been recorded by Reel Big Fish, when in all actuality it very obviously hasn't." Seriously. I don't understand how people can mistake Aaron Barrett's voice.

Regardless, the cover songs section clearly states that it is a list of "...all known cover songs officially recorded by Reel Big Fish." This should nullify the need for a list of songs that aren't recordings of Reel Big Fish. Yeah?

MartyHol 27th May 2007 13:29 (GMT)

 * I'll agree with that. There's no need for any songs not recorded by them.  Dac 23:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree, only sourced, confirmed info should go in.++ aviper2k7 ++ 03:13, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

What about songs covered live? They performed the first verse and chorus of Enter Sandman by Metallica last night in Bournemouth, UK, with Scott singing. Earlier in the show they also played the riff of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, but that was only momentarily.

 * This unfortunately constitutes 'original research'. Yes, if you're a 'Fish fan then you'll know that they play MANY more covers live... but this section lists only the official, verifiable recordings. MartyHol 1st June 2007 13:59 (GMT)

Jive
What was RBF's relation to Jive, and Jive's relation to Mojo (if any)? The first time Jive even comes up in the article is the sentence saying that they dropped RBF. 71.82.214.160 05:42, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * IIRC, Jive bought out Mojo back around 1999-2000. The career section of this article is very poor, and could stand a substantial rewrite. Tdogg241 16:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Cd's trilogy about being a band?
Someone recently removed a section about Reel Big Fish's first three album being a sort of trilogy of the struggles of being a band, saying it was OR. While I fully agree that that was the correct action, I don't think it's OR. Can anyone find a reference for this information? I think it was on RBF's about section of their website, but I'm not sure. Darkage7 15:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I removed it for being OR, but if this is something official, I think it would make a great addition to the site. If someone can find a source, by all means add it back. Snowfire51 16:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I found the source for that and added Barrett's quote into the History section. Michael 134.84.96.142 22:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Good job! Looks good up there. Snowfire51 22:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Main article: Reel Big Fish discography
Hey everyone, awesome work with all the RBF compilations, covers, etc! Do you think we should make a separate discography article? We've definitely got enough material. The section would contain the Discography, Multiple Titled Songs, and Cover songs. In the main article we would keep the Studio albums and probably the Live one too. Michael 134.84.96.142 00:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

If you agree a source listing RBF as post-grunge and alternative pop is a bad source...
Please speak out here. Lots of people are listing this site as a source for various articles, but time and time again it gives invalid information. Hoponpop69 18:15, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

A larger conversation on this has opened up here. Please weigh in to make sure wikipedia does not get filled with false information.Hoponpop69 03:47, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

1994 Demo
I'm 100% certain that the 1994 demo is not titled "Return of the Mullet". It's actually self-titled (i.e. "Reel Big Fish") I own a copy of this demo tape, and there is no mention of "Return of the Mullet" anywhere on the tape or on the liner notes. I'm just interested if there is a contrart source to this, becaus as far as I know, it's self-titled.

In addition, the liner notes also list, under additional musicians:

various screams, "ohs, and "ahs": Ed Kampwurth, Shauna Gearhart, Monica Bumatay (I don't know if this is relevant or not, but it seemed worthwhile to mention.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.7.195.225 (talk) 04:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Citation needed
Reel Big Fish in popular culture

 * The band appear in the film BASEketball performing "Beer" and "Take On Me". Included on the BASEketball DVD is their music video of the latter.[citation needed]- I've rented the DVD and can in fact confirm that the music video is on there.

 * Reel Big Fish performed the song "Snap, Crackle, Punk, Pop" in late 2004 for a Rice Krispies commercial.[citation needed] - In a radio interview for DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show, that confirmed that they were, in fact, the ones that did the song.

 * Reel Big Fish make a guest appearance on the internet cartoon series Waterman.[citation needed] - They show up in the 8th episode, which also serves as a music video for their song A-W-E-S-O-M-E. (http://www.watermanstudios.com/watermanseries/toons.php) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.95.131 (talk) 17:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The DVD info, as released to the public and uncontroversial info, doesn't need the tag; I removed it before and will continue to do so if it is re-added. As for the other two, we may need a link to the episode and interview in question.  Dac (talk) 10:33, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

popular culture section
Moving here for potential discussion:

 * The band appear in the film BASEketball performing "Beer" and "Take On Me". Included on the BASEketball DVD is their music video of the latter.
 * →Move this to the Baseketball article or article on the film's soundtrack if there is one. Since "Take on Me" is probably the band's 2nd-biggest hit, it's definitely worth mentioning in the history section, and of course this should be listed in their discography.

 * They are mentioned in the Kisschasy song, "Spray On Pants."
 * They are mentioned in the Vandals song, "Christian or Canadian."
 * They are the subject of the I Voted for Kodos song, "Wish I Was Aaron."
 * They are the subject of The Jewel Eating Bears song, "Someday We'll Be Mainstream."
 * →These are all more pertinent to the albums these songs are from, so move them there.

 * Their song "Don't Start a Band" can be heard in the song D.A.N.C.E. by Justice (although it is hard to hear). In the music video with the extended intro for the song, it is playing on a radio.
 * →Move to Don't Start a Band, We're Not Happy 'til You're Not Happy, or simply to the article on the Justice album.

 * Reel Big Fish performed the song "Snap, Crackle, Pop, Punk" in late 2004 for a Rice Krispies commercial.
 * →Move to the history section and/or the discography if a reference is found, otherwise delete.

 * Aaron Barrett appears in the video for the Suburban Legends song "Come Back Home" for a few seconds where he is dressed as Elvis Presley.
 * →Move to Aaron Barrett, find a better reference (youtube is generally not considered a reliable source, especially when it comes to copyrighted material like music videos as they are usually hosting them without permission).

 * Reel Big Fish make a guest appearance on the internet cartoon series Waterman.
 * →Move to Waterman (series) if a reference is found, otherwise delete. Possibly make a "Television appearances" section in this article in which this & other such appearances can be explained in prose rather than as a trivia list.

 * The songs "The Kids Don't Like It" and "I Want Your Girlfriend To Be My Girlfriend too" from Why Do They Rock So Hard? appeared in the game Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
 * →Move to Why Do They Rock So Hard? or the DOAXBV article.

 * CBS has used the song "Good Thing" and a cover of the song "A-W-E-S-O-M-E" on advertisements for their various lineups.
 * →Delete if no reference is found, otherwise move to We're Not Happy 'til You're Not Happy.

 * The Philadelphia Flyers, among other teams, play "Sell Out" whenever there is a sell out crowd at the Wachovia Center.
 * The My Name Is Earl Season 3 finale plays "Sell Out" in one scene.
 * →Move to Sell Out (song) if references are found, otherwise delete.

 * Their song "I Want Your Girlfriend to be My Girlfriend Too" can be heard in the trailer of the movie Slackers, though the song is not heard in the movie or on the soundtrack.
 * Their song "I'm Cool" appeared in Episode 12, Season 2 of Dawson's Creek.
 * →Move to Why Do They Rock So Hard? or delete if no references are found.

 * Their song "Trendy" was the official theme song of the Florida Marlins baseball team.
 * →Move to Turn the Radio Off or delete if no references are found.

Most of these are uncited and trivial. How do the other regular editors feel?  Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 07:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * The BASEketball and Florida Marlins ones ought to stay, but the rest can go, too trivial. Dac (talk) 08:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm noting some suggestions under the individual items about what might be done with them --IllaZilla (talk) 16:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Why does it say they're a punk band?
Reel Big Fish aren't really a punk band are they? They don't seem angry enough and they've never struck me as being anti-establishment or particularly rebellious. They seem like they just want to have fun and entertain people. When I listen to their music, I get the impression they want the people who listen to it to enjoy it. They don't seem like they want to shock people who disagree with them, and isn't that what punk's all about? Ash Loomis (talk) 00:55, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Their music is most commonly referred to as "ska punk", which blends ska rhythms and guitar lines with punk tempos and attitudes. Many bands in the third wave of ska are also referred to as "ska punk" because the two genres were very closely bridged at the time. For comparison see Mustard Plug, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Link 80, and The Suicide Machines. I'm sure that any reviews of Reel Big Fish that you read will probably mention punk or ska punk in some form. This article could really use referencing for that, though. They frequently refer to themselves as "ska punk", for example on the live album. --IllaZilla (talk) 01:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree that they have a ska influnece, and some punk inspired vocals and guitar, but do they have the punk attitude? I don't think so. Ash Loomis (talk) 01:40, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Unless I'm incorrect, the article doesn't say anywhere that they're a "punk" band. It mentions "ska punk", which certanily fits, but not just "punk", which they're obviously not since they're primarily a 3rd wave ska act. So I really don't see the problem. --IllaZilla (talk) 04:18, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * The reason I brought this up is that they're currently in the American punk rock groups category; I'm going to remove them. I'm fine with calling them third wave ska or ska punk, but punk alone is something very different. Ash Loomis (talk) 01:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Didn't notice that. I totally support removing that category. --IllaZilla (talk) 03:29, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Reel Big Fish 2009 Tour
Reel Big Fish has announced via their MySpace and website that they'll be touring the US in January '09, and Europe later in the year. Someone add this onto the article...but make it more 'official' sounding? --ZacLOL (talk) 22:31, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

New RBF Album: Fame, Fortune and Fornication
http://blog[DOT]myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=11034452&blogID=442487573

Its the only way they can give press releases. So there ya go. 68.96.90.83 (talk) 00:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * It's not the only way they can give out press releases. There are many other ways: via the record label, via music magazines/sites such as Alternative Press and Punknews.org, etc. etc. However, now that they actually do have a Myspace blog post about it, then yes we can mention it & cite it. Previously they had only mentioned it in a bulletin post, which isn't citeable. It's actually better to cite a third-party source, since Wikipedia prohibits linking to Myspace blogs directly. I'm sure AP or punknews will pick up the story within the next couple of days, but until then we can cite their myspace. --IllaZilla (talk) 01:06, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Is Aaron Barrett related to Dicky Barrett of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones (a band of the same music genre)?
Anyone? if not then we need to at least state that he inst so someone like me doesn't ask again lol —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.84.134.213 (talk) 05:29, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Nope, no relation. We don't need to state it. We would state it if they were related; not stating it means, by default, that they're not. It would be a waste of time to go around to every article about a famous person who has the same last name as another famous person, adding "(no relation to ____)", even if they are in the same field/genre. We expect people to use some common sense and realize that, if no relation is mentioned, there probably is no relation. Same deal with Tim Armstrong and Billie Joe Armstrong. --IllaZilla (talk) 05:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Founding members
There needs to be a founding members article on Reel Big Fish —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.179.156.166 (talk) 17:41, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

 * A separate article? No, there doesn't. It wouldn't meet notability requirements. Anyway, all the founding members are already mentioned in this article. --IllaZilla (talk) 19:40, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Scott Klopfenstein
Regarding the recent edits claiming that Klopfenstein has left the band: They are all based on this news post from The Aquabats, saying "We were even there for Scott from RBF's last show in PERTH!!" This is being interpreted by editors to mean that Klopfenstein has left RBF, but the source doesn't actually say that. None of the band's news outlets (Myspace, Facebook, Twitter) mention him leaving the band as of this writing, in fact their Myspace & Twitter still list him as a member. Until either the band announces something or a third-party source confirms it, claiming that Klopfenstein's left the band based on the 1 sentence in the Aquabats' news post is pure speculation. It is quite possible that it was simply his last show of the tour; as sometimes band members aren't able to do all legs of a tour (ie. when they need to go home to be with family). Sometimes members only do part of a tour, or the band uses substitutes (when I saw them on Warped Tour this past summer, for example, they had a substitute drummer filling in for Steen, who wasn't able to do the tour). RBF have tours lined up for the US, UK, & Europe starting in January; one would think that a longtime member like Klopfenstein quitting the band would merit some sort of announcement on the band's part, but there's been none. If a source comes up that specifically confirms that he's left the band, fine, but basing this claim on 1 sentence in the Aquabats' news post that isn't clear is speculation. Wikipedia isn't the news, we don't have to be "first on the scene" in reporting gossip that pops up on the internets. We can wait for better sources to appear before we start making these claims. --IllaZilla (talk) 18:48, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I will not revert these changes again, as I don't want this to turn into an edit-war, but I respectfully ask that we simply wait for a better, more informative source to be available to support these claims. --IllaZilla (talk) 18:54, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Just go onto the Reel Big Fish Website. As of january 19 there is still a letter written by scott explaining why he is leaving the band due to wanting to spend time with his baby on the way.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irock440 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Since my initial post the news has been reported in several primary & secondary sources, and the article explains the event & cites those sources. Note that my comment is now over a month old; the problem has since resolved itself. --IllaZilla (talk) 00:06, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Reel Big Fish are "best known for" Sell Out?
I removed a clause from the lede that claimed RBF are "best known for" Sell Out, because I don't think that's accurate. On Last.fm, Beer is their most popular song of all time (as of me writing this on 20th Feb 2020): see here. Also, the page for Beer claims that Beer is "the band's most downloaded song". I haven't checked the citation for that because apparently it's from Reel Big Fish's live DVD, which I don't have. In any case, Sell Out can't really be called the song they're "best known for" if a different song (Beer) is, by some metrics, their most popular. I think the reality is that they probably have three songs they're best known for (Beer, Sell Out, Take on Me). You could possibly mention in the lede instead that Sell Out is their best-charting song, but is that really needed in the lede? I think that would only be relevant in the lede if the band were a one-hit wonder, but I don't think that's the case for RBF. A lot of people like a lot of their songs. Do others agree with me on this? CyclingFan1234 (talk) 19:28, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Code of Kalantiaw

Uhh... what are you trying to say again? =)
The Code of Calantiawis the mind poorness code of the Filipinos that a Spanish Scholar invented that criticises Filipinos! He let most of the Filipino bilieve with its folish codes that he really doesn't know the culture Filipino has! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.215.76.108 (talk • contribs)

Myth or Hoax?
The article characterizes Kalantiaw as "mythical", implying a long historical tradition that acknowledged its truth, or some basis to it. Yet it was actually written within the last 100 years, and has been established as a hoax, and a most cruel one at that which depicted pre-Hispanic Filipinos as barbaric.

Don't want to touch it for now, but perhaps Kalantiaw can be called by something other than "mythical"? --Anyo Niminus 16:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

If your asking me "hoax" really sounds POV no matter how you look at it. Also if you li8ved during that time, these practices weren't realy seen as "barbaric" since they were practised by Babylonians, Muslims, and even Europeans, all of which were considered "civilized".--23prootie 06:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Rejoiner to the above commentary: November 06, 2009, Cotabato City

Kalantiaw is a name of a ruler of the ancient history of the race. The process of his existence in the annal of history of the race had undergone centuries of admittable series of transition and passages. His name reached at this present century through oral tradition. His name makes the history of the race significant and gives wisdom to the entire world of mankind.

The Code which was named in his honor is not a hoax as described by Dr. Sonia M. Zaide; and further it was not a myth. The contents of the Code have no characteristics of being a myth. Its contents are all connoting man made document. It is a document formulated based on the present situation of their time (primitive). It implies that during that time most of the problems or issues were social, political, and economics. It is logical on their part as man to formulate and adopt some measures to address (control or prevent)the observed socio-political-economic problems of their time. Although, they were in the most primitive civilization of man, but still they were group of people who was given by God a power of reasoning and thinking, like us.

What is Maragtas? Who was Sumakwel? Who was Kalatiaw? Where and When was this Code occured?

Oral traditions, and tarsila were unanimous in their passages in describing Maragtas. The passages were connoting that Maragtas was the name of the boat of the Malayu people ( other authorities identified them as the ten Bornean chiefs)they used in their voyage.

The Moro tarsila identified them as "taw sa Guiawa" literally menas people of the Java. Many of the scholars in tarsila have offered their scholar view that the people who took the Maragtas as a boat were the group of people who did not accept the leadership style of the Emperors of the Majapahit Empire. They sailed away to find other place to live.

Kalantiaw was the name of the journal as call it today. Sumakwel was the named of the house which served as their office (torogan in some version). The term Sumakwel is equivalent to Malacanang Palace of the Philippines. Datu Puti the chief of the group was directly he himself wrote the Code, the Kalantiaw Code.

Oral tradition and tarsila suggested that the Code was written in the middle of the Kampong (means community). The present authorities in tarsila have commented the term Kampong as used in the tarsila as place found at the middle or center of any organized commnity or nation. Considering that the Philippines is an organized nation and a setting of the issue; it is possible that somewhere in Visayas Islands the place where the Code was wriiten. Filipino authors and authorities in history or records of the past made mentioned Panay and Negros. Let us examine which of the two places firstly inhabited by man. The tarsila authority(s) suggested that the ancient past of the Islands, there were only two (2) places which had been inhabited and populated. They were Panay (Aninipay) and Tbok. Out of these, both Filipino historians and the authorities in tarsila have commonly mentioned the place Panay. It is permissible and logical to say that Panay is the nearest or accurate to be the place where the Kalantiaw Code was written. The issue on "when"; scholars, authors and authorities in history and tarsila vary and differ in opinion or research. Using the data of the tarsila, mentioning that this group of people was one the groups of people who opposed and disaccepted the leadership style of the Madjapahit Emperors during the height their of power; it is practical that the migration and the date (year) of writing the Code was in 1410. This date was accurate because it was mentioned in tarsila that Shariff Aulia, the first Shariff who arrived in Iranun Bay (Illana Bay)was one of the religious leaders who opposed the leadership of the Emperors of Madjapahit Empire. He arrived and landed in Iranun Bay (Illana Bay)aixty five (65) years before the arrival of Shariff Kabunsuan, the second Shariff arrived and landed in Iranun Bay (Illana Bay). Considering the date in the work of Dr. Gregorio F. Zaide that Shariff Kabunsuan arrived in 1475, it is practical and accepteble that the year the Code was written in 1410.

Issue: the Kalantiaw Code does not portray Filipino practices, and others.

The issue is a very conclusive statement without the benefit of scrutinizing the origin. Although, race was known during prehistoric people, but there had no specific nationality. They lived with the nature. They transfered from one place to another (nomadic). The suggested written date of the Code was within the prehistoric period of the Island. Therefore, it is not correct to apply and address the Code to the Filipino peoeple. The correct one is that, the Code was applied and addressed to the Natives not Filipino. The formal and official identification of nationality of the people started during the conquest and discovries of the Orient lands. The term Filipino as nationality came to its usage and application during the reign of Ruy Lopez de Villalubos in 1543 (zaide, et. als.); named in honor of Prince Felipe (Philip) of Austria, who later became the King of Spain. Therefore, the statement is wrong. It should be recasted by the concerns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.202.76.184 (talk) 01:26, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Commentary on Code of Kalantiaw

Code is a set of standards or norms with peculiarity character. Originally, it is a socio-political in nature and character to resolve conflicts in a certain community. The word itself came to its usage and existence during the primitive or prehistoric period of the Philiipines. The first written code was the Kalantiaw. According to the tarsila among Iranuns, the term Kalantiaw was a name of a datu who ruled ancient Aninipay now Panay. He was of Bornean (Burunai in Iranun terminology) Huh?

Conrad Nagel

John Conrad Nagel (March 16, 1897 – February 24, 1970) was an American film, stage, television and radio actor. He was considered a famous matinée idol and leading man of the 1920s and 1930s. He was given an Honorary Academy Award in 1940, and three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960.

Early life
Nagel was born in Keokuk, Iowa. After graduating from Highland Park College, Nagel left for California to pursue a career in the relatively new medium of motion pictures. He began acting in plays at Neely Dickson's Hollywood Community Theater.

Film career
Nagel was immediately cast in film roles that cemented his unspoiled lover image. His first film was the 1918 retelling of Little Women, which quickly captured the public's attention and set Nagel on a path to silent film stardom. His breakout role came in the 1920 film, The Fighting Chance, opposite Swedish starlet Anna Q. Nilsson. In 1918, Nagel was elected to The Lambs, the theatrical club.

In 1927, Nagel starred alongside Lon Chaney Sr., Marceline Day, Henry B. Walthall and Polly Moran in the now lost Tod Browning directed horror film, London After Midnight. Unlike many other silent films stars, Nagel had little difficulty transitioning to sound films. His baritone voice was judged to be perfect for sound, so he appeared in about thirty films in only two years. He described the time as a "great adventure." He was working so steadily that one night when he and his wife planned to go to the movies, he was in films playing at Grauman's, Loew's, and Paramount's theaters. "We couldn't find a theater where I wasn't playing. So we'd go back home. I was an epidemic." He spent the next several decades being very well received in high-profile films as a character actor. He was also frequently heard on radio and made many notable appearances on television.

The Academy and SAG
On May 11, 1927, Nagel was among 35 other film industry insiders to found the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS); a professional honorary organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of motion pictures. Fellow actors involved in the founding included: Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Richard Barthelmess, Jack Holt, Milton Sills, and Harold Lloyd. He served as president of the organization from 1932 to 1933.

Radio and television
Nagel was the announcer for Alec Templeton Time, a musical variety program on NBC Radio in the summer of 1939. He was the host on Silver Theatre, a summer replacement program that began June 8, 1937.

From 1937 to 1947, he hosted and directed the radio program Silver Theater. He then hosted the TV game show Celebrity Time from 1948 to 1952 and the DuMont Television Network program Broadway to Hollywood from 1953 to 1954.

From September 14, 1955, to June 1, 1956, Nagel hosted Hollywood Preview, a 30-minute show on the DuMont Television Network which featured Hollywood stars with clips of upcoming films.

In 1961, again on television but in an acting role, he made a guest appearance on the popular courtroom drama Perry Mason, portraying the character Nathan Claver, an art collector and murderer, in the episode "The Case of the Torrid Tapestry".

In 1962 he guest-starred on the TV Western Gunsmoke as the vengeful Major Emerson Owen in S7E33's “The Prisoner”.

Personal life
Nagel married and divorced three times.

Nagel died in 1970 in New York City at the age of 72. A spokesman for the office of the Chief Medical Examiner said that Nagel's death was "due to natural causes", more specifically, a heart attack and emphysema. He added that no autopsy was planned.

Awards and honors
In 1940, Nagel was given an Honorary Academy Award for his work with the Motion Picture Relief Fund.

For his contributions to film, radio, and television, Nagel was given three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1719 Vine Street (motion pictures), 1752 Vine Street (radio), and 1752 Vine Street (television).

Los Cabos Municipality

Los Cabos is a municipality located at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, in the state of Baja California Sur. It encompasses the two towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo (the municipal seat) linked by a thirty-two-km Resort Corridor of beach-front properties and championship golf courses.

The area was remote and rural until the latter 20th century, when the Mexican government began to develop Cabo San Lucas for tourism, which then spread east to the municipal seat. The main draw is the climate and geography, where desert meets the sea, along with sport fishing, resorts and golf. This tourism is by far the main economic activity with over two million visitors per year. Over 1 million visit from the United States.

Although San José del Cabo is the seat of government for the municipality of Los Cabos, it is smaller than the other city of Cabo San Lucas. However, because of federal and private investments in tourism, its growth is now rivaling that of the more famous resort area.

This growth has been regulated to outside of the town centre, especially to the south where the beaches are, leaving the historic town centre quiet and relatively unchanged. There are still cobblestone streets, adobe houses, jacaranda trees and a central square in front of a church that dates from the 18th century, where people gather in the evening when it is cooler.

A number of the large houses in the center date from the 19th century, and most of these have been converted into restaurants, art galleries and shops selling everything from fine handcrafts, silver, local gemstones and souvenirs. The art scene in the town is well-developed because of tourism and people with vacation homes. These shops carry high end paintings and sculptures from traditional Mexican, Mexican contemporary and international artisans and artists.

During the high season from October to May, these galleries stay open late into the night. The town has resisted the addition of large shopping malls and chain stores. There is also some colonial era architecture as well, but this style has more in common with colonial towns to the north into the United States rather than the centre and south of Mexico.

The main example of colonial architecture is the town's parish church. It was part of the Estero de las Palmas de San José del Cabo Mission, founded in 1730. The facade is marked with a tile mural depicting the martyrdom of founder Nicolás Tamaral, killed by the local Pericu people. The patron saint of the town is Saint Joseph, whose feast day is celebrated here on 19 March. Another important occasion is the feast of the Our Lady of the Pillar on 12 October. Occasions like these are marked with traditional dance in dress styles known as “Flor de Pitaya” and the “La Cuera.”

Other important landmarks in the town include the municipal hall (palacio municipal), which dates from 1981 and the cultural centre or Casa de Cultura, housed in a 19th-century building.

The tourist area of the town is the area between the town proper and the shoreline. This area has a nine-hole golf course and a line of hotels and resorts facing the ocean, which served over 900,000 hotel guests in 2011.

Overview
San Jose del Cabo is the seat and the government for the communities found in a 3,451.51 km2 area, located in the extreme south of the state of Baja California Sur. It is connected to the capital of La Paz via the Transpeninsular Highway.

The municipality borders that of La Paz to the north, with the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California surrounding it in the other directions. The municipal government consists of a municipal president, a syndic and fourteen representatives called regidors.

The main areas of the municipality are the seat, Cabo San Lucas, and the tourist corridor along the coast between them. Although San Jose del Cabo is the government, Cabo San Lucas has a higher population and its natural arch at Land's End is the symbol for the municipality. Outside of the two main cities, other important communities include Colonia del Sol, Las Veredas, Colonia Los Congrejos, San José Viego and La Ribera.

The municipality is one of the most important tourist destinations in Mexico, for its fishing, beaches, and resorts. Historical landmarks are relatively few but include the municipal hall, the Casa de Cultura in San Jose del Cabo, the Faro Viejo and the San Jose del Cabo and Santiago de las Coras missions. The latter was founded in 1721 by Ignacio María Napoli.

Cabo San Lucas and the tourist corridor
The city of Cabo San Lucas, about 32 km (20 mi) to the west of San Jose del Cabo, is far more commercial. Unlike most Mexican towns, Cabo San Lucas has no main plaza or large cathedral. Instead, it is centered around the marina and entertainment district. Up until the latter 20th century, the area was a small fishing village when tourist infrastructure begun. Despite its success, high rise construction has been kept limited, focusing on resorts and sand-top restaurants in the beach area.

The main attractions are fishing, nightlife and whale watching. It is a place for vacation, where most visitors stay at all-inclusive resorts. The two main events during the year are Spring Break and Sammy Hagar’s birthday which happens on the second weekend in October as his birthday is 13 October 1947. The latter focuses on his Cabo Wabo bar and restaurant in the city.

The success of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo has created a tourist corridor along the coastal highway between the cities. While there has been some development of resorts, hotels, and golf courses, there are still smaller isolated and undeveloped beaches.

Socioeconomics
By far the main economic activity for the municipality is tourism, focused on a shoreline corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. Most visitors come from the United States (especially California) and Canada, followed by Mexico, and many visitors return year after year. Visitors can get by in Cabo San Lucas purely in English and use U.S. dollars.

Most of the about two million visitors a year arrive by plane to the Los Cabos airport, but the Cabo San Lucas marina also has facilities for cruise ships. In 2012, the area has hotel occupancy of just over 60% with 248 cruise ships visiting. The area's high end resorts have also attracted notable names such as Bruce Willis, Kelly Preston and John Travolta, and San Jose del Cabo also has a notable expatriate population, mostly retirees who have economic influence.

The main draw for most visitors has been the environment, where the desert meets the sea, best symbolized by El Arco, a natural stone arch over the ocean in Cabo San Lucas where the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California meet. The natural features have led to ecotourism such as boat tours to El Arco, tours of the San Jose Estuary and the coral reefs of Cabo Pulmo, and whale watching from January to March, when the animals arrive to breed.

Sports fishing is a major and the longest established draw as there are about 800 species of fish in the waters off the coast. High season for this activity is in the summer, the season for marlin, although fishing for various other species extends all year. There are certain exotic species that are off limits due to conservation concerns and others are “catch-and-release” only.

There are four main golf courses in the municipality, designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye. Other activities for tourists include snorkeling, diving, dune-buggy rides, camel rides, zip-lining, rides on water-propelled jet packs, surfing (especially at the Acapulquito Beach), jet-ski riding, kayaking, sailing, horseback riding, ATV riding, hang gliding, mountain biking, camping, tennis and rappelling. Off the beaten path, there is the town of Miraflores (for its leather crafts), the Santiago fossil museum, the traditional towns of Caduaño, San Antonio and San Bartolo and a glass blowing factory.

Los Cabos hosts a culinary event called Ritmos, Colores y Sabores, which attracts chefs from the United States and Europe. The gastronomy of the region is based on seafood, which includes clams, marlin, snails, tuna and shark. A locally produced liquor is Damiana, sweet and flavored with a local herb, said to be an aphrodisiac.

The main export of the municipality is the production of salt. There are also limited mineral deposits, especially in the Capuano and Mezquite areas such as limestone and granite.

The small town of Miraflores is known for its leatherwork, especially saddles and other gear for horseback riding. Jewelry and decorations made with shells are produced in San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas and Santa Rosa.

Despite the development, 28.5% live in poverty and 5.6% live in extreme poverty; 18.1% live in substandard housing and 27.1% need food assistance. There are 313 schools from the primary to high school level. 9.3 years of schooling for those over 15. There are two vocational schools and twelve centers for adult education. There are no schools specifically targeting an indigenous population.

Geography
The municipality of Los Cabos is at the southern end of the Baja California peninsula, where desert meets the sea and the Gulf of California meets the Pacific Ocean. The area was originally underwater, evidenced by the many fossils of marine animals, which are up to 25 million years old. The basement rock underlying Los Cabos formed even earlier, approximately 115 million years ago.

The municipality has an average altitude of forty meters above sea level. There are three main terrain types, mountain terrain, semi flat areas and flat areas. The mountains consist of the Sierra de la Laguna and the Sierra de San Lázaro, both formed of volcanic rock, covering about fifteen percent of the total territory with peaks between 400 and 1000 meters. The semi flat areas are located between the coast and the mountain ranges, mostly of sedimentary rock and account for sixty percent of the territory. The flat areas are along the coast, beaches and alluvial plains, which account for twenty five percent of the territory.

One of the main natural resources is the beaches. Major beaches include Los Frailes, Buena Vista, Agua Caliente, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Chileno and Punta Colorada, often promoted together as the Costa de Oro (Golden Coast). One very popular beach in Cabo San Lucas is Lover's Beach, which is surrounded by dramatic rock shapes. The sea experiences lows of 72–73 °F (22–23 °C) in winter, and highs of 77–84 °F (25–29 °C) during the summer months. As it is on the edge of the desert that covers most of the Baja California peninsula, it is one of the sunniest locations in the world, with an average of 320 days of sunshine per year. The climate is characterized as hot and dry to the north of the town of San José del Cabo, hot and semi moist in San José and along the southern coast and temperate and dry in the highest elevations, because of cyclones that hit this area. Average annual temperature is 24C with the coolest month being January. There is a rainy season in the summer, with most rain in September. The rain and terrain make for a variety of micro climates, including areas with a climate similar to the Mediterranean. Areas between 0 and 400 meters are desert and semi-desert, with many areas having deep sand deposits. Higher elevations get more water and can have pine forests.

The main surface water of the municipality is the Río San José or San José River, which runs north to south, mostly during the rainy season. Other streams run only during rains and include Santiago, Miraflores, Caduaño and Las Palmas. There are subterranean deposits of water such as the Santiago and San José del Cabo, but the lack of water is the main impediment to human development in the area.

The Río San José stops just shy of the ocean, with a one km long sand bar creating an estuary, the third largest in Mexico. This pooling of brackish water has created an oasis in the surrounding Sarcocaule desert. The Río San José flows largely underground for 40 mi from its origin in the Sierra de la Laguna (Laguna Mountains), although its Miramonte River tributary adds almost an additional 10 mi. Its tributaries flow down the eastern side of the sierra and include Santa Rosa, Santa Lázaro, San Miguel, San Ignacio (at La Palma), Caduaño, Miraflores and San Bernard.

The river used to flow above ground until the beginning of the 20th century due to anthropogenic causes. For more than 250 years the Río San José has furnished drinking and irrigation water for the town of San Jose del Cabo, beginning as a source of fresh water for Spanish galleons traveling back from the Philippines. Over the sand bar from the estuary is a bay referred to by early Spanish explorers, including Sebastian Vizcaino, as the Bahía de San Bernabé or Bay of San Bernabé, and now as the Bay of San José del Cabo.

The estuary is home to both native and migratory birds and aquatic species, 250 species of tropical birds alone. Most of the migratory species use the area as a stopover on their way to southern Mexico, Central American and South America. It also acts as a nursery to many juvenile and larval stage species. It was declared a state environmental reserve, but pollution and excessive water extraction has caused it to degenerate, leading to a complaint by Greenpeace. One effort to improve the water situation is the creation of new water treatment plants in the 2000s.

Vegetation varies mostly by altitude and soil type and how much moisture the area receives. However almost all species are those adapted to desert and semi-desert zones. The highest elevations have pine forests. Wildlife is varied and includes mammals such as badgers, skunks, coyotes, foxes, pumas and other wild cats, deer, raccoons, rabbits, bats and various rodents. Bird species include quail, doves, cardinals, woodpeckers, swallows and marine species such as pelicans and seagulls. There are over 850 species of aquatic animals off the coast such as marlin, sailfish, swordfish, tuna, dorado and whales. Many species and subspecies of both plants and animals are endemic only to Baja California.

History
The indigenous Pericu names for San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas were Añiñi and Yenecami, respectively, with the current names given by the colonizing Spanish. The name of San José was given by Nicolás Tamaral in honor of José de la Fuente Peña y Castrejón, the Marquis of Villa Puente who sponsored the mission. The appendix of “de Los Cabos” is to distinguish it from San José de Comondú as well as its proximity to Cabo San Lucas. San Jose was also known as San Barnabé, as the nearby bay was named this. Pirate Thomas Cavendish called Cabo San Lucas “Safe Port” as he hid there from Spanish authorities. The seal for the municipality of Los Cabos (referring to the two cities) was approved by the state government in 1981.

When the Spanish arrived the main indigenous group in the area was the Pericus, a hunter-gather culture with Stone Age tools. It is possible that these people arrived to the region with a more evolved culture which later simplified to adapt to the harsh conditions. Evidence of this includes the region's cave paintings as the peoples found by the Jesuits did not have an artistic tradition. The Pericu people and culture were distinct from other indigenous groups, first by being taller and second by being polygamous in a tribal organization. Their diet consisted of local seeds and fruits, as well as fish, reptiles, and small mammals. Men were in charge of large game hunting of deer. Hernán Cortés himself arrived here in 1535, and named the Gulf of California the Sea of Cortés (Mar de Cortés) the name still used for it in Spanish. The harsh conditions impeded colonization by the Spanish, which did not begin in earnest until 1730, when Father José Echeverría and Father Nicolás Tamaral founded a mission in what is now San Jose del Cabo in 1730. This date is considered the founding of the town, although a second ceremonial found took place in 1822, when it was declared a town of the Baja California territory.

Diseases brought by Europeans devastated indigenous groups here, and in 1768 more missionaries arrived. While colonization was slow, the area was important as a way station for the Manila Galleon and other ships, which stopped here for fresh water, as well as fruits and vegetables.

However, its remoteness also made it a place for pirates to hide. The first pirate in the area was Francis Drake in 1578, followed shortly after by Thomas Cavendish, both after the treasures from Spain's Asia trade. One major attack was that on the Santa Ana Galleon, whose looting caused the Spanish colonial government to explore and map the area around Cabo San Lucas at the very beginning of the 17th century. There were recommendations to establish a mission here, but this was rejected in favor of Loreto. This left Cabo San Lucas as a strategic hideout for English pirates until the 18th century. In 1709, pirate Woodes Rogers attacked the Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación y Desengaño. Hiding nearly a month in Cabo San Lucas, he also mapped the area and wrote detailed descriptions. He was followed by George Shelvocke in 1721, who later published the oldest known drawings of the Pericues.

After Independence, the Baja Peninsula was part of the California province, but Cabo San Lucas was named head of a municipality. Its remoteness kept the area out of active participation of most of Mexico's 19th and early 20th century tumultuous history. One exception was the Mexican American War. Resistance to U.S. forces was organized in the small community of Santa Anita, near San José, headed by José Matías Moreno, Vicente Mejia and José Antonio Mijares, who was in charge of the marina at Cabo San Lucas. One of the main streets in the town is now named after Mijares, who died defending the town.

The major political players during the Mexican Revolution were Manuel Gonzalez and Pedro Orozco, along with Félix Ortega. In 1915, Ildefonso Green Ceseña, head of forces loyal to Venustiano Carranza, drove out those of Francisco Villa out of the southern part of the peninsula.

Some development of the area began after the Mexican Revolution with a lighthouse at Cabo Falso as early as 1905, just southwest of Cabo San Lucas, in part to remind U.S. ships in the waters here that the territory remained Mexican. Today, it is known as the “Faro Viejo” (Old Lighthouse) and is a historic monument. In 1917, a U.S. company began tuna fishing operations here and had a floating processing plant. In 1927, the Compañía de Productos Marinas based its operations in Cabo San Lucas and helped develop the port to make it open to tourism later. In the 1920s, the first road connecting San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas was begun but not completely finished until 1970.

For the most part, the area remained rural and undeveloped until the latter 20th century, when the federal agency Fonatur began to develop a tourism industry here. Development began with Cabo San Lucas for vacationers, but then spread to San Jose del Cabo, but with a different direction with more art galleries and promotion of its traditional Mexican character.

The current municipality of Los Cabos was created in 1981, separated from the municipality of La Paz, with the seat at San Jose del Cabo. The town had previously been a municipal seat of a municipality of the same name in 1917 but lost this in a political reorganization in 1972.

Mayor Armida de Jesús Castro Guzmán quit on March 1, 2021, because of sexism by the party's state leader, Alberto Rentería Santana, and because he did not support her reelection.

As of March 1, 2021, the municipality reported 7,796 recoveries, 209 active cases, and 404 deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.

A History of Knowledge

A History of Knowledge (1991, ISBN 0-345-37316-2) is a book on intellectual history, with emphasis on the western civilization, written by Charles Van Doren, a former editor of the Encyclopædia Britannica. It is a history of human thought covering over 5,000 years of philosophy, learning, and belief systems that surveys the key historical trends and breakthroughs connecting the globalizing human landscape of the 20th century all the way back to the scattered roots of human civilization in India, Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, Greece, and Rome.

For a sense of the tone, the first section is entitled "The Wisdom of the Ancients" and begins, "By the time written history began, some fifty centuries ago, mankind had learned much more than our primitive ancestors knew."

The book's last chapter focuses on the potential developments of the 21st century. It also contains biographies of many notable historical figures.
