Snowbasin

Snowbasin Resort is a ski resort in the western United States, located in Weber County, Utah, 33 mi northeast of Salt Lake City, on the back (east) side of the Wasatch Range.

Opened in 1939, as part of an effort by the city of Ogden to restore the Wheeler Creek watershed, it is one of the oldest continually operating ski resorts in the United States. One of the owners in the early days was Aaron Ross. Over the next fifty years Snowbasin grew, and after a large investment in lifts and snowmaking by owner Earl Holding, Snowbasin hosted the 2002 Winter Olympic alpine skiing races for downhill, combined, and super-G. The movie Frozen was filmed there in 2009.

Snowbasin is located on Mount Ogden at the west end of State Route 226, which is connected to I-84 and SR-39 via SR-167 (New Trappers Loop Road).

History
Snowbasin is one of the oldest continuously operating ski areas in the United States. Following the end of World War I and the Great Depression numerous small ski resorts were developed in Utah's snow-packed mountains, and Weber County wanted one of their own. They decided to redevelop the area in and around Wheeler Basin, a deteriorated watershed area that had been overgrazed and subjected to aggressive timber-harvesting.

Lands were restored and turned over to the U.S. Forest Service, and by 1938 the USFS and Alf Engen had committed to turning the area into a recreational site. The first ski tow was built in 1939 and in service at the new Snow Basin ski park. In 1940, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) crew built the first access road to the new resort, allowing easy access for the general public.

In the 1950s, Sam Huntington of Berthoud Pass, Colorado, purchased Snow Basin from the City of Ogden and proceeded to expand the uphill capacity beyond the Wildcat single-seat wooden tower lift and the old rope tow. Overall, he installed a twin chair in place of the rope tow, and a platter-pull tow, later replaced by a twin chair, was installed at Porcupine, to the left of the steep rocky face of Mount Ogden.

The fourth NCAA Skiing Championships, the first in Utah, were held at Snow Basin in 1957. The downhill race course was set on the right side of the steep face of Mt. Ogden, on the slope called "John Paul Jones", named after an early Snow Basin skier. The John Paul Jones' run was only accessible with a 45-minute hike from the top of the Porcupine lift. Anderl Molterer, of the Austrian national ski team competing there that weekend, approached Huntington and told him if a lift was built directly to the top of the John Paul Jones run, he would bring his world famous Austrian team to Snow Basin to train on it. Molterer said John Paul was the best downhill run in the world. Huntington rejected this proposal, and a lift to the top of John Paul was not to be built until Snowbasin received the rights to hold the alpine speed events for the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Huntington was killed five years later in 1962, as he was performing post-season maintenance, replacing an electrical fuse at the Porcupine lift. Several Ogden businessmen purchased Snow Basin from the Huntington family.

One other major personality to come out of Snow Basin was M. Earl Miller, who ran the ski school from the mid-1950s until 1987. Miller played a key role in drafting the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) American Ski Technique in 1961.

Pete Seibert, founder of Vail, led a partnership which bought Snow Basin in 1978, but ran into financial difficulty in 1984. The area was sold that October to Earl Holding, owner of Sun Valley in Idaho, and it became "Snowbasin".

2002 Winter Olympics & Paralympics
Because it was to serve as an Olympic venue site, the U.S. Congress passed the Snowbasin Land Exchange Act in 1996 as part of the Omnibus Lands Bill. The act transferred 1377 acre of National Forest System lands near the resort to the private ownership of Snowbasin, and identified a set of projects that were necessary for the resort to host the Olympic events. Six years earlier in 1990, a similar swap had been denied by the U.S. Forest Service. These projects allowed Snowbasin to double in size in 1998 with new terrain expansions onto Allen Peak to the north and Strawberry and DeMoisy Peaks to the south.

During the 2002 Olympics, Snowbasin hosted the downhill, combined (downhill and slalom), and super-G events. The spectator viewing areas consisted of a stadium at the foot of the run, with two sections of snow terraces for standing along both sides of the run. The spectator capacity was 22,500 per event; 99.1 percent of tickets were sold, and 124,373 spectators were able to view events at the Snowbasin Olympic venue. During the 2002 Winter Paralympics, Snowbasin hosted the Alpine Skiing events, including downhill, super-G, slalom, and giant slalom.

Tenpole Tudor

Tenpole Tudor are an English punk band fronted by Edward Tudor-Pole. The band first came to prominence when Tudor-Pole appeared in the Sex Pistols' film The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle and on three of the singles released from the soundtrack. The band then went on to have hits in their own right with songs like "Swords of a Thousand Men" and "Wünderbar". The band has been active intermittently since 1977. During 2017 whilst working and recording new versions of his old songs in Norway, Tenpole formed a Norwegian based incarnation known as the 'Tenpole Tudor Vikings' who performed two UK shows, at London's 100 club, and Milton Keynes Crawford Arms. Due to distance and travel logistics, The Vikings were short lived. Meanwhile back in England in 2020 the time felt right to put together a UK based band again to tour. The line-up consisted of husband and wife teams Chris Sutton on guitar and Juliette (daughter of Chas Hodges of Chas and Dave fame) on keyboards, Nigel Marshall on bass and wife Jenny on backing vocal, and long time friend and collaborator Dave Twigg on drums (previously with the Godfathers). With a diary of dates quickly filling up, the band succumbed to the COVID outbreak. During the nation's lockdown, Ed began writing his biography due for publication in 2023. In 2022, Ed made a number of solo appearances throughout the UK at the 'Lets Rock' retro festivals.

Origins
Tenpole Tudor formed in 1977 when Tudor-Pole (vocals/saxophone) met guitarist Bob Kingston, bassist Dick Crippen, and drummer Gary Long. They played regularly for several years until Tudor-Pole himself (under the moniker of Eddie Tenpole) came to prominence by appearing in the 1980 film, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (filmed in 1978). He was originally billed as a replacement for Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten — performing the songs "Who Killed Bambi?", "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle" and a cover version of "Rock Around the Clock" for the film and subsequent soundtrack — however, manager Malcolm McLaren and the remaining Sex Pistols instead decided to abandon the group and go their own ways.

1980-1999
Tenpole Tudor recorded a single on WEA Records with the A-side being "Real Fun" and the B-side "What's in a Word". "Real Fun" is available in live form on two different CDs, but the single was never released on CD. Tenpole Tudor returned in 1980 and signed a recording contract with Stiff Records, with whom they released the single "3 Bells in a Row" (which is a slightly different version of the one later found on the album Eddie, Old Bob, Dick, and Gary) and was produced by Dick Crippen.

The band released their début album, Eddie, Old Bob, Dick and Gary, in 1981. It sold well, and in addition to the popular "3 Bells in a Row", launched two additional hit singles "Wünderbar" and "Swords of a Thousand Men". In the same year, the group released their second album, Let the Four Winds Blow, which also performed well. They further distinguished themselves with their oddball live performances, which had band members often dressing in medieval garb, and Tudor-Pole himself in a full suit of chain mail armour. They also added Munch Universe, as he was billed, to their line-up.

Stiff Canada released a Canada only album entitled Swords of a Thousand Men in 1981. This album was pressed by Attic Records in Toronto. This was a compilation of their other two albums, and included Eddie Tudorpole, Gary Long, Bob Kingston, Dick Crippen and Munch Universe. The album cover was of high quality, showing a photo taken by Kim Aldis of the band in suits of armour, standing in front of the relics of a castle. The videos for "Swords of a Thousand Men" and "Wünderbar" received regular airplay on Canadian TV.

In 1982, the original Tenpole Tudor broke up. While Tudor-Pole led a cajun-inspired version of Tenpole Tudor, the rest of the band released a single under the name The Tudors, minus Munch Universe. After the non-original incarnation of Tenpole Tudor failed, Tudor-Pole left Stiff Records and began performing in jazz and swing bands, eventually returning to acting. Tudor-Pole formed a new line-up of the band in 1985, featuring Mick (guitar), Matt (bass), Sean (saxophone/guitar), and Paul (drums).

2000-present
Since the 2000s, Tudor-Pole has concentrated partly on acting, but focuses mainly upon his new one-man-show, performing live shows described as a 'One Man Stadium Show'. He has re-formed Tenpole Tudor from time to time, notably in 2001, with Darrell Bath on guitar, Donagh O'Leary on bass and Ben Standage on drums. He currently performs his one-man live show throughout Britain and, in 2009, released a Tenpole Tudor album titled Made It This Far.

In 2018, the band's latest incarnation was formed. The Tenpole Tudor Vikings features Ed Tudor-Pole alongside Rita Kae, Elin Krstiansen, Tony Rudseter, Thomas Hoegda, Tony Karlsen, Daniel Norum, Morten Anders Gaard and Inger Marie Buseth. They recorded an album, mostly consisting of covers of old Tenpole Tudor songs, at Rudestar Recording, Skogbygda, Norway, which was released in 2019 as 3 Bells in a Row.

Ed Tudor-Pole and Dick Crippen appeared onstage together for the first time in over 35 years in September 2016 in support of charities Rhythmix and Heads On. Bob Kingston is the brother of the former The Mo-dettes drummer June Miles-Kingston. Since 1988, Crippen has owned and operated the Panther Recording Studio in Surrey, producing many rock, punk and garage bands such as Chelsea and Johnny Moped. He also plays guitar in The Weird Things.

Biescas

Biescas is a municipality of northeastern Spain close to the border with France, in the midst of the Pyrenees in the province of Huesca. The name seems to provide from the term bizka, which means "hill" in a Proto-Indo-European language.

The town of Biescas is located at 875 meters altitude on the banks of the Gállego river. The municipality extends along a small plain and includes the canyon to access to the Tena Valley. At 72 km north of the main city Huesca, Biescas is a communication hub between the regions of Jacetania and Sobrarbe. The town is strategically located to crossing the Gállego river, as a link between the valleys of Tena and Ara.

Demography and population entities
The municipality extends over an area of 189.09 km2. Distributing the town main parallel to the river, with two areas of different altitude delimiting two historic districts: to the west, the district of San Pedro, which includes an area for expansion and new constructions, and eastern district of San Salvador split, itself, into the neighborhood of La Peña (The Rock) and the Downtown, where are located the administration and most of the services and shops in the village.

According to the Spanish Statistics National Institute, the current municipality has 1,535 inhabitants and includes the villages of: The municipality also includes the depopulated villages of Búbal, Polituara, Saquès, Ainielle, Susín, Berbusa and Casbas.

Economy
The economic activities in Biescas have historically been traditional farming of cereals and of fodder for livestock, logging of forests, and bovine cattle and sheep for local consumption. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Biescas highlighted in the region for its wool traditional textile industry, specialized in blankets and equipment for horses.

Since the beginning of the nineties of the twentieth century, tourism has replaced the traditional economy of the town. Residents have been gradually leaving farming and agriculture to engage in construction and services. Currently Biescas constitutes an important touristic point in the central Pyrenees, both in summer and winter.

History
The oldest pieces of evidence from human presence in the Biescas municipality are Neolithic cists from the plain of Santa Engracia, which are estimated to be from the III millennium BC. One of them has been restored.

Biescas began to form as a village in the Middle Ages, given its strategic location as a crossroads. The first document of its existence is a citation in the Cartulary of San Juan de la Peña, between 1020 and 1030 AC. In a document of 1391 it appears cited with the name of Biescas Sobirón.

Biescas has always been a town endowed with royal privileges and had two ecclesiastical parishes: San Salvador and San Pedro. Although in the old ages it also had two other temples, the San Torcuato and St. Stephen churches. It is also documented that the hermitage of Santa Elena was reconstructed by King James I in 1253 and endowed with privileges by King Ferdinand in 1484 and King Charles V in 1525.

In the sixteenth century, King Philip II ordered to fortify the Santa Elena canyon to protect his kingdoms of possible threats from beyond the Pyrenees. To this end, The Castle of San Pedro was built in neighboring Jaca together with other defenses still visible in the valleys of the Aragon and Gállego rivers. In this context, on 6 and 7 February 1592 eight hundred people from Béarn invaded and occupied Biescas and the Tena Valley for eleven days, before being defeated in the Gorge of Lutherans battle.

During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) Biescas was almost razed. At the beginning of the conflict the town was quickly conquered by the rebel side and was involved in the Battle of Sabiñánigo, between September and November 1937. In this battle the 43rd and 27th divisions of the army of the Spanish Second Republic launched an offensive against the rebels, specifically against the I brigade of the 51st National Division and local volunteers such as the Valley Tena Panthers. Biescas was recovered by Republican troops at the beginning of the offensive. It is estimated that during the course of the Battle of Sabiñánigo, the total number of deaths (soldiers and civilians) was around 6,000 people.

On 7 August 1996, 86 people died due to a flood in Las Nieves camping.

Main sights

 * Church of San Salvador. It was built around the year 1200 and was destroyed in the cir of 1936 and later rebuilt. However, the main body of the church still has the original romanesque semicircular apse and chancel.
 * Hermitage of Santa Elena. The current temple was built in the seventeenth century over the River Gallego to the entrance of the Tena Valley, at 5 km from the town center. It stands in the forest with its head built in a cave, next to an intermittent source called The Glorious
 * Torraza de los Acín. At the town center, it stands a medieval military housing now converted into a museum. This fortified house was built in 1580 by the Hidalgo Juan de Acín as a symbol of his economic and social position. It is a stone building, a magnificent representative of the local architecture of that time.
 * Chimneys. In Biescas you can see good examples of popular Pyrenean architecture, excelling its balconies and also its chimneys with a conical frustum shape. The latter are characteristic of the traditional buildings of the Aragonese Pyrenees. Some of them present peculiar ornaments known as espantabrujas (scarewitches) with supposed protective actions.

Sport

 * Fernando Escartín (born January 24, 1968, Biescas) is a retired professional road racing cyclist. In his resume stands out the victory in the Volta a Catalunya in 1997 and third overall in the 1999 Tour de France.
 * The football team U.D. Biescas plays in the 3rd Spanish division. They play their matches on the Fernando Escartín football pitch in honour of the cyclist Fernando Escartín.

Talk:Agaricus bisporus

Name
Shouldn't this article be moved to Table mushroom? Supermarkets almost always label them as "table mushrooms". — Stevey7788 (talk) 20:58, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

 * "Table mushroom" seems somewhat ambiguous, conceivably taken to include edible mushrooms in general, and gets substantially fewer google hits than "button mushroom". — Pekinensis 01:29, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Merging
Portobello mushrooms are actually considerably larger than the common small white mushrooms you see in supermarkets. The Portobellos I've seen are generally 4" to 6" and brownish in colour. They also are much more flavorful than the standard "button" mushrooms you seem to be referring to... Kris Wood 08:37, 1 August 2005

Hmmm that's odd, the link I clicked for discuss was on the Portobello mushroom article, and was referring the merging of that article with button mushroom. While it may be a subspecies, it does have distinct differences and that's what I was referring to above, just didn't want anyone wondering why I was rambling about portobellos in the button discussion. :) Kris Wood 08:42, 1 August 2005

 * Yes, the mergeto and mergefrom templates are set up to concentrate discussion on the page of the target article. When I put the tag there, I probably should have started the discussion here to avoid confusion.  Sorry about that.

 * My feeling is that vegetable varieties usually don't need separate articles, unless and until there is a lot of material on the variety. The wiki is plastic enough that this is not a decision for all time, and can be made on the basis of how much material there is now, rather than how much material there may be in the future.  For example, broccoli, cabbage, kale, and so on get their own articles, while pinto bean, kidney bean, navy bean, and so on are treated in subsections of common bean.

 * — Pekinensis 16:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, perhaps something like the german version of this article. It seems to discuss the different varieties of button mushrooms with images to further illustrate the differences. Kris Wood 15:12, 2 August 2005

 * I've done the merge. Pictures would be nice, although I believe that Champignons treats the whole genus, and the large brown mushrooms shown there are A. silvaticus.  I've moved the interwiki link to Agaricus.  — Pekinensis 22:47, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

carcinogenic ?
just heard from mycologist Paul Stamets that a lot of the worlds experts think that button (and portobello) mushrooms are highly carcinogenic while being digested. This would be big news to me, but i'm no expert so i thought i'd bring it up in the discussions first before posting it on the real page.

 * — Tom Schuring 22 November 2006 09:16(+10)

 * Um.. I do you mean anti-carcinogenic? []

Would be good to see a reference for this. It is a pretty big claim to put on the page without some backup cheers,Cas Liber 22:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

i'm sure he says carcinogenic (i fixed the spelling :) in this interview: http://www.dhlovelife.com/video/Vlog_24_FunGuy.mov with paul at 6:30 he says: "button mushrooms are thought, by many experts, to be highly carcinogenic when they are digested, which can cause tumors and abnormal cell-divisions. it's a unique chemical that is in button mushrooms and portobellos. they are very much analogous to smoking a cigarette, except the 'accarotene's (?) cause tumors all over your body as opposed to just in your lungs.

 * — Tom Schuring 22 November 2006 03:17(UTC)

 * Wow - watched the vid and then followed a few google links. Found a lively discussion here half way down the page.

[]

Ultimately it is tricky to convert in vitro evidence to real life but it is worth a mention. Just a question over how to phrase it.......Cas Liber 04:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

How about something like ? :

I found the following references supporting evidence of cancer-causing chemicals in the button (and portobello) mushroom. I researched this online after hearing about two mushroom growers who both developed lung cancer at about the same time, as well as another person who grew mushrooms who also developed cancer. One assumes they also ate a lot of the mushrooms. I first wondered if cancer-causing chemicals, gasses, etc., in "farming" mushrooms may be the cause and was surprised that it was ingestion of the mushrooms themselves that has caused cancer in clinical trials. http://www.wikigenes.org/e/mesh/e/1175.html http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/cgi/reprint/46/8/4007.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2132000 [Quantities of agaritine in mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) and the carcinogenicity of mushroom methanol extracts on the mouse bladder epithelium] http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=371&page=240 —Preceding unsigned comment added by LesWeller (talk • contribs) 03:12, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Toxicity
Button Mushrooms as all Mushrooms of the Genus Agaricus have been found to contain levels of Agaritine which will metabolize into Hydrazine, a well known Carcinogen. [][]

or should it be placed in Agaricus then ? I'm just worried that nobody will see it there. most people actually eat button-mushrooms.

 * — Tom Schuring 22 November 2006 22:44(UTC)

 * True - I think the best place is on the button mushroom page - I'd use a heading 'agaritine' and emphasise that the levels of compound are very low - have to be careful how this is worded. cheers Cas Liber 09:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * The current version of this article includes the following sentence:

 * Some mushrooms contain hydrazine derivatives, including agaritine and gyromitrin, that have been evaluated for carcinogenic activity.

 * But why does it say "some mushrooms" rather than mentioning that the actual species this article is about contain these compounds? Please fix.  173.88.246.138 (talk) 01:54, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Proposed move to Cultivated mushroom
When I was a kid we always called A. bisporus the Cultivated mushroom. It is also the recommended common name on the British Mycological Society site here:

thus I feel the page should be moved there as Button mushroom and Portobello mushroom are names for two different stages of growth they are sold at. Cas Liber 12:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I tried a google test, and "button mushroom" has more than twice as many hits as "cultivated mushroom" (91,300 vs. 41,700). Per WP:COMMONNAME, this would seem to indicate against the proposed move. -GTBacchus(talk) 06:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Problem is the term 'Button mushroom' is only the term for the little immature forms sold in shops. Thus, a portobello mushroom is not a button mushroom nor vice versa, yet both are different stages of Cultivated mushroom. cheers Cas Liber 06:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * An analogy is lamb i.e. immature sheep meat, which redirects to domestic sheep. cheers Cas Liber 06:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining that.  Now I agree with the move request. -GTBacchus(talk) 07:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Strongly oppose move to a regional, and more importantly, highly ambiguous name. Good grief, the article itself says (emphasis added), that this is " one of the most widely cultivated mushrooms in the world.".  A move to Agaricus bisporus would be a much more sensible one, and include all growth stages there. The ambiguity of the proposed name is especially important in light of the initial capitalization being turned on in Wikipedia. Gene Nygaard 01:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd actually prefer it on Agaricus bisporus myself. I didn't nominate that as it is widely cultivated. Cas Liber 06:35, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The shiitake is also a "cultivated mushroom", as opposed to that same species for which "some documents record the uncultivated mushroom being eaten as early as 199 A.D". And Volvariella: "Mushrooms of the genus Volvariella account for 16% of total production of cultivated mushrooms in the world."   And Enokitake:  "There is a significant difference in appearance between the wild and the cultivated mushrooms ."  Gene Nygaard 15:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, shall we move it to Agaricus bisporus instead then? We could withdraw this move request and set up another one, or we could just be bold and do it.  Opinions? -GTBacchus(talk) 19:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Since it is on requested moves, let it sit for about five days, in case anybody has a better idea. Then that would be fine with me, and apparently the two of you as well, so if nothing changes do it then.
 * If that move to the scientific name is done, it is important for at least Category:Edible mushrooms that the main redirects from common names (Button, Portobello, etc.) be categorized as well. If nothing has changed recently, when categorizing redirects it is important to put the categories on the same logical line as the redirect itself (otherwise it can cause some problems; IIRC, it might mess up the categorization of the main article if they are put on separate lines).  Gene Nygaard 19:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Strongly oppose also. "Cultivated mushroom" is way too ambiguous – there are a number of "cultivated mushroom" species. The title should either remain "Button mushroom" or be moved to "Agaricus bisporus" (of course, that brings up the whole kettle of fish as to whether Agaricus bisporus or Agaricus brunnescens takes priority as the name of this species). This article is about a single species, hence, making its scientific name the title might be warranted. On the other hand, its an agricultural crop, and Wikipedia puts article titles about crops under common names. Then again, is there a widely agreed upon common name for this crop other than "mushroom"? Ultimately, Agaricus bisporus might be the least ambiguous. Peter G Werner 05:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Champignon is the other likely possibility, much more common in American English at least when referring to this specific species. Why in the world is that name relegated to the third paragraph in the article as it stands now? It isn't called "champignon de Paris" in English, and that's in the opening paragraph.  They should be flipped. Who cares if it might be more ambiguous in French; so is tonne, the French word for a short ton or a long ton as well as a metric ton, distinguished in French with French adjectives if necessary.  Gene Nygaard 08:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * that word I'd associate more with Marasmius oreades though...Cas Liber 09:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Oppose the proposed move, per reasons stated above. The phrase "button mushroom" is in far wider use.  Johnashby 15:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

OK - I'm pulling the plug on this move and proposing a move to the scientific name instead Cas Liber 21:56, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Assuming this move passes, should button mushroom, portobello mushroom, &c. have their own sub-articles (at least for culinary reasons) or is this content forking? —  AjaxSmack     00:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I would think that all could be discussed on the one article really under subheadings. We can always make links ot the subheaings directly where mentioned on other pages Cas Liber 06:22, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

In spite of the fact that its an agricultural crop, I think its best titled under its scientific name, Agaricus bisporus, since it really doesn't have a clearly established, unambiguous common name. (Note that there has been some debate in the past as to whether Agaricus brunnescens was the name that took priority – in theory it does, if it really refers to the same mushroom. The type specimen of A. brunnescens is in a poor state of preservation, hence, it hasn't been widely accepted that the name demonstrably refers to the same mushroom, so A. bisporus is by far the most commonly used name.)

POV Bias
The statement "Mushroom hunting can be a satisfying hobby" is unsourced, biased, and seems unnecessary. I do not deny the possibility that mushroom hunting could be a satisfying hobby, but in order to maintain encyclopaedic tone the fact should be demonstrated through facts (or at least sourced assertions).

 * You're right - the whole bit needs an overhaul. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Beginning a to-do list of sorts towards FAC...

 * notes on nutrition as it is such a widely consumed foodstuff. There will be info out there

Vitamin D
I think that someone should throw some information on this page about button mushrooms as a source of vitamin D when zapped with UV. Just google vitamin D and mushrooms and you will find articles about it.

Here is just one news article talking about it, maybe someone can find an actual academic source for this information. .

68.184.35.29 (talk) 18:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)jon
 * It doesn't fit into the article at the moment, so I'll leave the references here for now: Sasata (talk) 18:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

"These mushrooms can contain high amounts of Vitamin D,[17] especially when UV-irradiated.[18][19]" What does "These" mean in the beginning of the sentence? If you are talking about Shiitake and Miyatake mushrooms then the names should be spelled out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.212.89.240 (talk) 20:58, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Using mushrooms to prevent cancer
Recently a large amount of material was inserted to promote the use of mushrooms to prevent cancer. This sort of treatment is unproven, and should not be promoted uncritically on Wikipedia. As per WP:MEDRS, we should be relying on secondary sources such as medical reviews, not primary sources such as individual studies or press releases. A recent review for this sort of material is here: and I suggest that reviews like this be used to source any discussion of mushrooms for cancer prevention. Eubulides (talk) 22:17, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the heads up. Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I fully agree this mushroom is not a cure for any type of cancer, or can prevent any type of cancer. I am simply posting interesting scientific data.

Jatlas —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jatlas (talk • contribs) 00:02, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

It is a learning curve :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Since when are mushrooms a "vegetable"?
It says:

"Recently it was noticed that mushrooms contain high amounts of Vitamin D[17] (especially when UV-irradiated[18][19]) This is notable due to the fact no other vegetable is currently known to contain vitamin D naturally. A mushroom company in California offers A. bisporus previously exposed to UV light with 100% RDA of vitamin D per 3 ounces.[1]"

Mushrooms are a fungus, not a vegetable.

Pooka and Fygar (talk) 12:18, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Botanically/biologically speaking, it is fungi, but it may be classified as a vegetable legally and commercially. See vegetable for the various possible definitions. 66.11.179.30 (talk) 06:26, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Mushroom Council?
I've never heard of the ominous "Mushroom Council" before, but if they're notable enough that anyone cares whether they use 'portabella' or 'portobello'... then why don't they have an article yet? Are they some sort of official body that governs the use of mushrooms? Should we bother to name the exact spellings used by any random mushroom-related organization? 8.18.38.105 (talk) 16:00, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Flavor, Texture, Food Uses
Considering it is mainly cultivated for human consumption, shouldn't there be a section describing the flavor, texture, etc of both the young and the mature mushroom, as well as its most common uses in food? As the article currently stands, it is fine for people looking for botanical information about it, but there is quite little about the culinary aspect (which may be the most popular interest people may have in the article). — al-Shimoni  (talk) 09:23, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

 * As just a comparison, see the "Culinary Use" section of the Truffle article. — al-Shimoni  (talk) 09:33, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

 * I certainly agree. Many sources describe white mushrooms has having less flavor than brown, and portobello (mature) specimens are widely used as a meat substitute. Not sure what would be the best references to cite, though. GCL (talk) 00:14, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks! That's the info I was looking for. 67.254.199.19 (talk) 01:32, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Chestnut mushroom (var. Avellaneus)
I was wondering what the 'Chestnut Mushroom' commonly seen in super markets (resembling a brown button mushroom) is, so I did a little research and after finding no mention of it on Wikipedia I found the name 'Agaricus bisporus var. Avellaneus'. I'm not sure yet if 'var. Avellaneus' is a mycologically recognised name or just a marketing name for cultivation sales, but does anyone else think it's worth mentioning the Chestnut Mushroom as it seems to be everywhere these days. I may do a little more research later Gul e (talk) 10:14, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Potential Medicinal Value
A couple of weeks ago, I made a contribution in this section regarding conjugated linoleic acid and its dietary potential. I was in fact researching CLA, which provided a direct reference to this species as notable (in fact many mushrooms, especially wild edible mushrooms contain these types of isomers). It seemed appropriate to add the tidbit and link the two wiki pages. All available info on a subject, right? It has since been summarily removed on the grounds that the contribution was speculative and un-sourced by a User named Zefr, whom, as far as I can tell isn't associated with working on this page.

It's true that I didn't cite any refs here on this page, but rather linked directly to the page about CLA, which has a plethora or refs and discussed the dietary aspect of both at length. It was my thought that anyone who had further interest in that side-topic would happily link there. I'm kinda new at wiki-editing but don't see direct links to already established and accepted pages as being any less valid than on-page citations. Am I wrong? Does anyone here have a problem with what I contributed or the format I chose to use? Please let me know; that way I can either put it back up or avoid making a similar mistake in the future.

Thanks, JohnathanEAndrews (talk) 05:18, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Johnathan: your comment speculated about 1) significant fat and CLA content which is not borne out by the nutrition profile of mushrooms and 2) weight loss effects from eating mushrooms, an effect with no scientific proof satisfying WP:MEDRS. Particularly, you stated "Dietary studies have listed A. bisporus as a non-animal source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which contains combined trans- and a far greater amount of cis-fat isomers, the latter which is believed to be responsible for an increase in the metabolizing of fatty tissue in the body (resting metabolic rate} and an increase in the development of muscle mass (which burns more calories than fat mass), resulting in healthy weight loss and better overall health." There is a string of non-facts and speculation here with no published evidence under peer-review.
 * You've asked for advice about editing, so if I may: first you organize source-supported scientific evidence then second you could try a draft on your sandbox page, asking for editing help from any experience editor, or you could enter the draft here on Talk for the community to engage.

It's a study in mice, likely ~2 decades from successfully completing drug development, if everything goes well (about 90% do not). We use WP:MEDRS reviews to support medical content. Read WP:WHYMEDRS. Zefr (talk) 00:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I am very familiar with MEDRS and normally would have agreed with you. However, I have had a discussion with an editor over at Talk:Lavender_oil who seems to argue that if the source is a press release from a sufficiently authoritative source, then it is a secondary source roughly equivalent to a systematic review and that it is not our place to analyze the analysis (per MEDRS, "Editors should not perform detailed academic peer review."). It would be great if you could join the discussion there. MarshallKe (talk) 12:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Underlying choice of sources and application of MEDRS is also WP:CIR, i.e., medical editors should have the competence to understand the topic sufficiently and assess the quality of evidence, as discussed in WP:MEDASSESS, left pyramid. Studies in mice (or those in vitro, as for the lavender oil discussion) are far too preliminary to mention in an encyclopedia article (bottom of the MEDASSESS left pyramid). An encyclopedia summarizes established content confirmed by scientific consensus - mice and in vitro studies are too preliminary to evaluate their signifiance or to mention, and are years away from being confirmed through scientific consensus. We wait for the WP:MEDRS review article. Zefr (talk) 15:24, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

What about white flat-cap mushrooms?
It is explained in the article that small white mushrooms develop into large, flat, brown portabello mushrooms.

 * "Flat mushrooms are the same as a little white button mushroom (sometimes called a champignon), and the same as a mushroom cup, it's just allowed to grow longer. All the mushroom growers needs to do is harvest the mushrooms a few days later." --Surfo (talk) 11:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * OK. I have done some further research. It seems that the brown and white types are just different cultivars. But the article does not mention this - the only mature types it mentions are the brown ones. I will edit the article when I have more time.

Steve McFadden

Steve Robert McFadden (né Reid; born 20 March 1959) is an English actor whose career has spanned three decades. He rose to prominence for his role as Phil Mitchell in the BBC One soap opera EastEnders, which he has played since 1990. Regarded as one of the show's most popular characters, he has received numerous accolades including the British Soap Award for Outstanding Achievement. McFadden was also the presenter of the game show Britain's Hardest (2004).

Early life
McFadden was born in Maida Vale, London, on 20 March 1959. He left school in 1975, and had short stints in jobs including labouring, carrot picking, plumbing and working at a builder's merchant. After attending university, McFadden decided that he wanted to become an actor, and was accepted into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1984, graduating in 1987.

Career
In 1988, McFadden had an uncredited brief appearance in the film Buster as a gang member. He played a small role in the 1989 BBC television film The Firm, and this was followed by appearances in the television series The Bill, Minder and Bergerac.

McFadden then began portraying the role of Phil Mitchell in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. He joined EastEnders at the beginning of 1990, at the same time as Ross Kemp, who played Phil's younger brother Grant Mitchell. During that time, his character was involved in numerous iconic storylines, such as Sharongate (in which it was revealed that he had an affair with his brother's wife Sharon) in 1994, and the Who Shot Phil? storyline in March 2001, when his character was shot and wounded by a mystery attacker.

McFadden then made an appearance in the film Kevin & Perry Go Large (2000), and starred in an episode of the BBC anthology series Murder in Mind in 2001. He left EastEnders in late 2003 for a one-year break to concentrate on pantomimes. His character was written out of the series after being framed for an armed robbery by Den Watts (played by Leslie Grantham), and going on the run after breaking out of prison.

During his break from EastEnders, he presented the reality television series Britain's Hardest, which was an underground competition broadcast on Sky One. He returned to EastEnders for two episodes in April 2005. In the story, Phil returned to Walford in need of financial help, only to be arrested and returned to prison. In October 2005, he returned on a permanent basis, after his character was cleared of armed robbery. In 2007, he appeared in the film Provoked. He has also appeared as Captain Hook in a pantomime production of Peter Pan from 2010 to 2011 at The Swan.

Personal life
McFadden has five children. His son Matt McFadden's mother is Sue Marshall, and Angela Bostock is the mother of his daughters Teona and Mollie Jane. Rachel Sidwell gave birth to his daughter Amelie Tinkerbell on 29 June 2009. At the time, she was his partner, but the couple split two months later. A fifth child, a daughter named Frankie, was born to his girlfriend Karen Cairns in June 2016.

In 1996, McFadden was banned from driving for 18 months and fined £1000 plus £350 in costs after pleading guilty to drink-driving after attending a party at a London nightclub.

McFadden is a sailor, and took part in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant in his motorboat, Barbara. In 2014, he sued the Metropolitan Police and News of the World after a police officer sold details about him to the newspaper. He sued News of the World after one of their journalists admitted trying to intercept his voicemail messages in the News International phone hacking scandal. McFadden stated "I am particularly concerned that a police officer sold my privacy to a tabloid newspaper for profit. I consider the payment of damages and public apology will go some way to ensuring respect for my and others' privacy in future. I am glad to have been vindicated and to be able to put this matter behind me".

Cold War Steve
McFadden, in his role as Phil Mitchell, is a recurrent character in the satirical collages by Cold War Steve, the Twitter handle of artist Christopher Spencer. Spencer's Twitter feed was originally called McFadden's Cold War and then later renamed as Cold War Steve. McFadden has appeared in over a hundred of the artworks.

Van Cliburn International Piano Competition

The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition (The Cliburn) is an American piano competition by The Cliburn, first held in 1962 in Fort Worth, Texas and hosted by the Van Cliburn Foundation. Initially held at Texas Christian University, the competition has been held at the Bass Performance Hall since 2001. The competition is named in honour of Van Cliburn, who won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition, in 1958.

The Van Cliburn Competition is held once every four years, in the year of United States presidential inaugurations. The winners and runners-up receive substantial cash prizes, plus concert tours at world-famous venues where they are able to perform pieces of their choice. While Cliburn was alive, he did not serve as a judge in the competition, provide financial support, or work in its operations. However, he attended performances by competitors regularly and greeted them afterwards on occasion.

Contestants draw lots for their performing place in the competition. The competition began on-line audio streaming of the performances in 1997. In 2009, the competition webcast all of the performances live for the first time in its history.

Amateur and Junior competitions
In 1999, the competition added an amateur edition, which allows high-performing pianists aged 35 or above to participate, provided that they do not earn their main source of income through piano pedagogy or performance. Amateur competitions have been held in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2016. Originally, the 2016 Amateur Competition was to be held in 2015, but was canceled, due to the inauguration of a junior version of the Cliburn Competition, which attracts top-performing teenage piano students from around the globe. Like the regular Cliburn Competition, the amateur and junior competitions consist of solo rounds, followed by concerto performances with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra in the finals.

Berber Arouch Citizens' Movement

The Arouch Movement or Berber Arouch Citizens' Movement (Kabyle: Leɛṛac; French: Mouvement citoyen des Aarchs) is an organization in Algeria representing the Kabyle people, a Berber group of the province of Kabylie. Their name, Arouch, is the plural form of the word Arch, referring to a traditional Kabyle form of democratic political assembly. The movement was started after the Black Spring disturbances in 2001, in which 126 Kabyle protesters were killed by Algerian gendarmes. The Arouch have a horizontal leadership and it has no leader, although charismatic arouch representatives like Belaïd Abrika have emerged.

The United States Department of State and Congressional Research Service have reported on state harassment of the Arouch.

Goals
The Arouch has stated political goals in a document known as the El Kseur Platform. Among them are:

 * Recognition of the Berber language as a national and official language alongside Arabic; the demand was met.
 * The withdrawal of the Algerian gendarmerie security forces from Kabylie; the demand was met.
 * Expanded democracy.
 * Expanded social rights.

The Arouch views about the status of Kabylie are as diverse as the number of its representatives, some supporting a federal state, others support a regional autonomy, and the rest are for decentralization.

John Thunstone

John Thunstone is a fictional character and the hero of a series of stories by author Manly Wade Wellman.

Character biography
Thunstone is a scholar and playboy who investigates mysterious supernatural events. He is physically large and strong, intelligent, handsome, and wealthy. He is also well-read in occult matters and has access to several weapons that are especially potent against vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creatures.

Thunstone has a sword-cane with a silver blade said to have been forged by Saint Dunstan, patron saint of silversmiths and a noted opponent of the Devil. The blade is inscribed with a text from Judges chapter 5 in the Vulgate, "Sic pereant omnes inimici tui" — "thus perish all your enemies". The sword-cane had also been used by Wellman's earlier character, Judge Pursuivant, who passed it on to Thunstone when his advanced age made him too weak to effectively wield it.

In addition to the ghosts and other traditional supernatural beings, several of Thunstone's enemies are Wellman's unique creations. These include the shonokins, a race of human-like creatures who claim to have ruled North America before the coming of humans. Thunstone's most persistent foe is a sorcerer named Rowley Thorne, who appears in a number of the stories.

Collections
Thunstone originally appeared in short stories published in the pulp magazines. Wellman would later write two novels with Thunstone: What Dreams May Come (1983) and The School of Darkness (1985). Lonely Vigils collected all the Thunstone short stories at the time. All his Thunstone short stories have been collected in The Third Cry to Legba and Other Invocations (2000). All the Thunstone stories, including the novels, have been collected in The Complete John Thunstone (2013).

Adaptation
In 1988, Rouse Him Not was adapted as an episode of the anthology TV series Monsters. Thunstone was played by the actor Alex Cord.

Talk:Mirage (The Incredibles)

Does this minor character really need to have a nine section bio? Matt Deres

I agree with the above...

Doubly agreed. Merge, someone. [maestro] 14:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

DavidJohns 09:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Disagree. If anything her section and that of the others in the Incredible's page should be cut down there since they contribute to an overlong article.

Accomplice to murder?
Did Mirage know about the murders? Its not all that clear. She seemed very conscerned that Mr. Incredible be careful when taking on the Omnibot. "And don't DIE!" she said with emphasis. Some could argue that she thought heroes would rather die in battle than linger another moment in their dull suburban lives?

 * Yeah, or she was a very good actress so to fool Mr. I into a trap.

 * But noticed the look of surprise and sadness when Helen states "there's children aboard", on the plane she launched a missle at. She does seem to care about life, or lives of children at least.

Merging
I don't think this article should be merged. Although a minor character, there's enough information and even references and notes. So what do you, Wikipedians, think? --anon

Speculation
There have been some speculation in the article and I'm going to explain why I removed it:

 * Someone made a comment about Syndrome about to kiss Mirage, but he may not have been trying to do so. It's speculation.

 * Someone made a comment that Mirage probably went to jail, but this is speculation. No one knows what happened to her and it didn't imply it either.

So this is why I removed the speculating sentences. --71.105.11.148 21:25, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

That is still there. I've also noticed some speculation, such as this line "She finds his love for his family remarkable, although she has nothing that quite compares, nor does she wish to." Unless that was taken from sort official bio or something, it sounds like nothing more than someone believing they know the character to a further extent than may be possible.

Could she be a super
Because in her message she said "We have something in common. According to the government, neither of us exists"

It's possible, but it could mean she's working with a secret company and her identity has to be kept a secret. Also, even though this is a possibility, we can't put this in the article because it's speculation. And possibly original research. And the movie never strongly suggests it, so I removed the speculation and changed things around. You don't mind, right? --71.118.76.132 18:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

DavidJohns 09:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)The statement only really says that her existence is a secret, and that's as applicable to a spy as it is to a super. And since the whole message is a lie, there's no reason to take her at her word on that score, although her amazing information gathering skills (including spying on someone as alert as Bob Parr without him suspecting anything) do suggest that she may have had a covert operations background before being recruited by Syndrome

I think you might be right but I am not sure
 * Regardless, she should at least go under powers as 'None known' since it is neither confirmed nor denied. 68.225.240.87 10:36, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Incarcerated status
Someone keeps saying that she was "presumely incarcerated", but this is unknown. The movie never states it or implies it. Besides, since her identity is kept secret by the government she might not have. But even that is unknown. So it's speculation and original research to keep saying she's presumely incarcerated. --71.118.76.132 18:17, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Merge again
There is no clear reason why this page should exist at all. Redirect to movie. Lots42 (talk) 05:09, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Renard series

Renard series are a system of preferred numbers dividing an interval from 1 to 10 into 5, 10, 20, or 40 steps. This set of preferred numbers was proposed in 1877 by French army engineer Colonel Charles Renard. His system was adopted by the ISO in 1949 to form the ISO Recommendation R3, first published in 1953 or 1954, which evolved into the international standard ISO 3. The factor between two consecutive numbers in a Renard series is approximately constant (before rounding), namely the 5th, 10th, 20th, or 40th root of 10 (approximately 1.58, 1.26, 1.12, and 1.06, respectively), which leads to a geometric sequence. This way, the maximum relative error is minimized if an arbitrary number is replaced by the nearest Renard number multiplied by the appropriate power of 10. One application of the Renard series of numbers is the current rating of electric fuses. Another common use is the voltage rating of capacitors (e.g. 100 V, 160 V, 250 V, 400 V, 630 V).

Base series
The most basic R5 series consists of these five rounded numbers, which are powers of the fifth root of 10, rounded to two digits. The Renard numbers are not always rounded to the closest three-digit number to the theoretical geometric sequence:

 * R5: 1.00 1.60 2.50 4.00 6.30

Examples

 * If some design constraints were assumed so that two screws in a gadget should be placed between 32 mm and 55 mm apart, the resulting length would be 40 mm, because 4 is in the R5 series of preferred numbers.
 * If a set of nails with lengths between roughly 15 and 300 mm should be produced, then the application of the R5 series would lead to a product repertoire of 16 mm, 25 mm, 40 mm, 63 mm, 100 mm, 160 mm, and 250 mm long nails.
 * If traditional English wine cask sizes had been metricated, the rundlet (18 gallons, ca 68 liters), barrel (31.5 gal., ca 119 liters), tierce (42 gal., ca 159 liters), hogshead (63 gal., ca 239 liters), puncheon (84 gal., ca 318 liters), butt (126 gal., ca 477 liters) and tun (252 gal., ca 954 liters) could have become 63 (or 60 by R″5), 100, 160 (or 150), 250, 400, 630 (or 600) and 1000 liters, respectively.

Alternative series
If a finer resolution is needed, another five numbers are added to the series, one after each of the original R5 numbers, and one ends up with the R10 series. These are rounded to a multiple of 0.05. Where an even finer grading is needed, the R20, R40, and R80 series can be applied. The R20 series is usually rounded to a multiple of 0.05, and the R40 and R80 values interpolate between the R20 values, rather than being powers of the 80th root of 10 rounded correctly. In the table below, the additional R80 values are written to the right of the R40 values in the column named "R80 add'l". The R40 numbers 3.00 and 6.00 are higher than they "should" be by interpolation, in order to give rounder numbers.

In some applications more rounded values are desirable, either because the numbers from the normal series would imply an unrealistically high accuracy, or because an integer value is needed (e.g., the number of teeth in a gear). For these needs, more rounded versions of the Renard series have been defined in ISO 3. In the table below, rounded values that differ from their less rounded counterparts are shown in bold.

As the Renard numbers repeat after every 10-fold change of the scale, they are particularly well-suited for use with SI units. It makes no difference whether the Renard numbers are used with metres or millimetres. But one would need to use an appropriate number base to avoid ending up with two incompatible sets of nicely spaced dimensions, if for instance they were applied with both inches and feet. In the case of inches and feet a root of 12 would be desirable, that is, $\sqrt{12|n}$ where n is the desired number of divisions within the major step size of twelve. Similarly, a base of two, eight, or sixteen would fit nicely with the binary units commonly found in computer science.

Each of the Renard sequences can be reduced to a subset by taking every nth value in a series, which is designated by adding the number n after a slash. For example, "R10″/3 (1…1000)" designates a series consisting of every third value in the R″10 series from 1 to 1000, that is, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 120, 250, 500, 1000.

Such narrowing of the general original series brings the opposite idea of deepening the series and to redefine it by a strict simple formula. As the beginning of the selected series seen higher, the {1, 2, 4, 8, ...} series can be defined as binary. That means that the R10 series can be formulated as R10 ≈ bR3 = $\sqrt{2n|3}$, generating just 9 values of R10, just because of the kind of periodicity. This way rounding is eliminated, as the 3 values of the first period are repeated multiplied by 2. The usual cons however is that the thousand product of such multiplication is shifted slightly: Instead of decadic 1000, the binary 1024 appears, as classics in IT. The pro is that the characteristics is now fully valid, that whatever value multiplied by 2 is also member of the series, any rounding effectively eliminated. The multiplication by 2 is possible in R10 too, to get another members, but the long fractioned numbers complicate the R10 accuracy.

Bad Boys Blue

Bad Boys Blue are a German pop group formed in Cologne in 1984. The group performed many international hits including "You're a Woman", "Pretty Young Girl", "I Wanna Hear Your Heartbeat", and "Come Back and Stay".

The group became massively popular in Eastern Europe, South America, and South Africa, with the band performing to sell-out crowds in Russia and Ukraine. In contrast, the group never charted in the UK, and their only charting US singles were "Save Your Love" and "I Totally Miss You" (1993) which became successful chart hits.

1980s
Bad Boys Blue was formed in the summer of 1984 by German producer Tony Hendrik and his lyricist wife Karin van Haaren. The original trio consisted of singers Trevor "Supa T" Taylor from Jamaica (the original lead vocalist), John McInerney from the UK, and Andrew Thomas from the US. Their debut single "L.O.V.E. in My Car" failed to make an impression in the pop charts but the follow-up "You're a Woman" was a success, reaching the top 10 in many European countries.

1990s
The group has experienced numerous line-up changes. In 1988, Taylor left the group a year after being gradually demoted from his role of the lead singer. He was asked to rejoin the group the following year just for recording sessions for the "Hungry for Love" single that was to be featured on the group's first compilation album Bad Boys Best. Taylor's departure permanently secured McInerney's position as the band's new lead vocalist. Taylor was replaced by Trevor Bannister (born 5 August 1965 in Grimsby, England), whose function in the group was mainly to perform Trevor Taylor's hits in live gigs. It is during Bannister's tenure with the band that Bad Boys Blue began touring in Eastern Europe thus gaining much popularity there. Bannister left in 1993 and the remaining two members performed as a duo. During its entire South African tour, the duo was briefly joined by Owen Standing, who left the group shortly thereafter, and therefore was not considered to be a permanent band member. Multi-talented Irmo Russel (born 15 March 1956 in Aruba, Caribbean Sea) joined the group in 1995, who in addition to stepping into Bannister's shoes was instrumental in revitalizing the group's creative potential, by becoming a composer, video director, and occasionally assuming the role of lead singer on some of the tracks. At the end of 1999, Kevin McCoy (stage name JoJo Max) replaced Russel by joining Bad Boys Blue full-time after being the group's rapper since 1998, but left in early 2003 leaving Bad Boys Blue as a duo again. However, in 2005, McCoy rejoined Thomas' Bad Boys Blue line-up.

2000s
In 2005, McInerney and Thomas split under less than amicable circumstances. Thomas went on to form an all-American version of Bad Boys Blue with former member McCoy and new lead singer (no relation), and they were said to be working on a new release, with McCoy being the trio's producer. Thomas' formation of the band was named "The Real Bad Boys Blue". Their shows were based on the full playback including original music produced by original producers, lead vocals by McInerney and backing vocals by studio session singers.

McInerney kept performing as Bad Boys Blue; at first he performed solo with a live group and backing singers but in the following year he was joined by Carlos Ferreira (born 11 April 1969 in Mozambique), and this presently UK-based duo set out to work on a new album, with the French producers MS Project.

Trevor Taylor, the original lead singer of Bad Boys Blue, died of a heart attack in his home in Cologne on 19 January 2008 at the age of 50.

Bad Boys Blue, in May 2008, released a brand new album called Heart & Soul with 13 new original songs. The album was supported by the release of two maxi-singles: "Still in Love" and "Queen of My Dreams". In May 2009 this formation resumed cooperation with its original label, Coconut Music, in addition to working with its current production team.

The Real Bad Boys Blue, in June 2008, experienced significant changes in personnel. This formation was essentially split in two when Herb McCoy left the group to continue performing solo, but under his own name, using his own versions of some Bad Boys Blue songs. At the same time, Kevin McCoy became the new lead singer of the remaining duo, and a new member, Jeremy Cummins, was added to this group's line-up. This version of the group completed recording of several brand new tracks, all penned and sung by McCoy.

On 19 June 2009, Coconut Music/Sony Music released a special remix album titled Rarities Remixed. The album contained modern remixes of some hit singles and album tracks.

On 21 July 2009, Andrew Thomas died in Cologne at the age of 63. John McInerney is now the only member alive from the original line-up of Bad Boys Blue.

On 30 October 2009, Coconut Music/Sony BMG released a special compilation titled Unforgettable, which was dedicated to both Taylor and Thomas.

2010s
On 13 August 2010, Coconut Music/Modern Romantics Productions/Sony Music released the anniversary single titled "Come Back and Stay Re-Recorded 2010" including remixes produced by MS Project, Alex Twister, Spinnin Elements & Almighty. On 27 August 2010, the anniversary album titled 25 was released, including 25 re-recorded hits, 7 brand new remixes plus a bonus DVD.

In September 2011, McInerney has made the decision to finish working with Ferreira.

In October 2011, the group was joined by Kenny "Krayzee" Lewis, known from collaboration with C. C. Catch, Touché, and Mark 'Oh.

On 21 September 2012, Coconut Music released a DVD titled Live on TV.

In December 2013, Bad Boys Blue announced on their Facebook page that they are working on a new album. Some of the songs are already completed and the remainder will be complete by January/February 2014. Some of the songwriters will be: Pawel Marciniak, Mattias Canerstam and Johann Perrier.

In June 2015, Bad Boys Blue released a new album titled 30. It contains four new and four unreleased songs, along with some remixes of older songs.

In August 2023, Bad Boys Blue embarked on a US tour along with Samantha Fox and Boney M., which included stops in Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City and San Jose. The shows were put together by Los Angeles based promoters LA Concert Group.

Talk:Niccolò Antonio Colantonio

Untitled
I think this page could be moved as "Niccolò Antonio Colantonio" --Sbisolo 21:06, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

A Plea for "Colantonio"
The title "Niccolò Antonio Colantonio" doesn't make much sense. First, the literature refers to him generally as "Colantonio". Second, "Colantonio" is the popular short form for "Niccolò Antonio". One or the other! In the end the choice, in my view, should be simply "Colantonio", with the mention of the longer version in the body of the article, as now. The other language versions to date, with the exception of the English and a delightful version in supposed Neapolitan dialect all have "Colantonio". Livinius (talk) 07:11, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

KEEF-TV

KEEF-TV, channel 68, was a short-lived public television station in Los Angeles, California. It operated briefly in 1987, but was shut down after only a few months of operation and its non-commercial educational broadcast construction permit ultimately revoked.

Prior use of channel 68 in Los Angeles
Channel 68 was used originally by the Viewer Sponsored Television Foundation as KVST-TV, which broadcast from May 5, 1974, through December 23, 1975. It was a station with a strong community focus and aired alternative programming, much of it leftist in nature. However, it constantly struggled for viewer support and suffered through tumultuous internal politics, leading to its closure.

As KEEF-TV
On February 24, 1983, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the Black Television Workshop to construct a non-commercial TV station on channel 68 in the Los Angeles area. The station, which was oriented to black and Hispanic viewers, went on the air in May 1987 as KDDE. The station promised a lineup of programs by and for minority viewers—particularly Black viewers—including films from the Caribbean and Africa and British fare from Channel 4. The station changed its call letters to KEEF-TV on June 15.

Problems were very quick to come along. After Mary V. Woodfork, one of the station's board members, made a series of claims against Black Television Workshop head Booker T. Wade's conduct, the FCC ordered the station off the air on August 8, because it broadcast with a different power and antenna height from a different location from that authorized, while it investigated—an unusual move for the commission. The battle tied up the television station, a series of creditors, and a company that had paid for the KEEF-TV transmitter so it could use it to send data.

In 1989, a deal was reached to sell the station as a distress sale to Hispanic Christian Communications Network, which proposed a Spanish-language Christian station; the commission dismissed the proposal the next year because a federal appeals court had ruled that policy unconstitutional. In 1991, after the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the policy, the FCC determined that the station had not been actually built and thus would not have been eligible anyway. The construction permit was ultimately revoked by the FCC on November 19, 1992. A final review was denied by the commission in 1994.

Channel 68 was last used in Southern California by KRCA-DT, a digital simulcast of KRCA (channel 62) in Riverside, California. As of the end of the 2009 digital television transition, channel 68 was outside the authorized band for television broadcasting in the United States; at which time KRCA moved to channel 35. Since 2018, as part of the FCC's spectrum repack, KRCA has shared VHF channel 7 with KABC-TV. Plans for the digital transition did not include a digital replacement channel for the former channel 68 allocation in Los Angeles.

Nutopia

Nutopia is a conceptual country, sometimes referred to as a micronation, founded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. One of the reasons that the country was founded was to address Lennon's then-ongoing immigration problems (the previous week he received a deportation order) through satirical means.

As of April 2024, individuals have been able to declare their citizenship of Nutopia via a website. The call to join Nutopia was made through Yoko Ono’s account on X (formerly Twitter) and others.

There is no leadership and not all citizenships have been recorded. As a result, the population is unknown.

Nutopia is a portmanteau of "new" and "utopia" which suggests Nutopia is a new, utopian society. There is also the word play with "nut" (slang word for an insane person) and "utopia".

History
On 2 April 1973 Lennon and Ono introduced the conceptual country of Nutopia at a press conference in New York City.

Lennon and Ono declared themselves ambassadors of the country and sought diplomatic immunity to end Lennon's ongoing immigration troubles as he and Ono tried to remain in the United States. (Ono already had a Resident Alien "green card" through her previous husband, Tony Cox. Lennon had been denied permanent residence status.) Lennon talked about the imaginary country, which would live up to the ideals of his songs "Imagine" and "Mind Games", saying this in the "official" declaration, signed the day before:

We announce the birth of a conceptual country, NUTOPIA.

Citizenship of the country can be obtained by declaration of your awareness of NUTOPIA.

NUTOPIA has no land, no boundaries, no passports, only people. NUTOPIA has no laws other than cosmic.

All people of NUTOPIA are ambassadors of the country. As two ambassadors of NUTOPIA, we ask for diplomatic immunity and recognition in the United Nations of our country and its people.

The Nutopian Embassy was originally located at 1 White Street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan which was the apartment address for some their friends and staff (Ken Dewey, Jon Hendricks, Patty Oldenburg and Helen Seaman) and headquarters of the National Committee for John and Yoko, set up to help their immigration case. Lennon shortly moved this embassy to their Dakota apartment, affixing a gold plaque engraved 'NUTOPIAN EMBASSY' to their kitchen back door. Ono remarked decades later that guests preferred walking into her home through that door instead of the front entrance.

Symbols
The flag of Nutopia has only one colour: white. At the press conference Lennon, waving a white handkerchief, stated, "This is the flag of Nutopia—we surrender, to peace and to love". According to a reporter for The New York Times, Lennon blew his nose on the tissue. Some criticised this association with surrender, but Lennon and Ono defended the association, saying that only through surrender and compromise could peace be achieved.

Lennon's album Mind Games (1973) features the "Nutopian International Anthem", which consists of four seconds of silence.

The hand-drawn Great Seal of Nutopia features a picture of a seal balancing a yin-yang globe on its nose.

Legacy
Lennon's deportation order was overturned in 1975. The following year, he received his green card, certifying his permanent residency.

In 2006, a Nutopia website was created that forwarded to a site about the documentary The U.S. vs. John Lennon, distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment.

Finnish singer-songwriter Kari Peitsamo, fan of Lennon's work, released a song called "Nutopia" on his album I'm Down.

In 2009 an exhibit in New York displayed the letter that established Nutopia.

C.D. Cuenca

Club Deportivo Cuenca is an Ecuadorian football club based in Cuenca. They currently play in the Serie A, the top-flight football league in the country, and is one of two clubs from Cuenca to have played in the top-flight (the other being LDU Cuenca).

They are one of three clubs outside main cities Quito and Guayaquil to have a national championship, which they won in 2004. Since then, they have been a near consistent top club in the country, including numerous Copa Libertadores participations.

Deportivo Cuenca was founded on March 4, 1971, and is the second oldest club in the city after Tecni Club. Their home stadium is Estadio Alejandro Serrano Aguilar, which was named after former club president and mayor of Cuenca. Because of the limited number of clubs from the Province of Azuay that have played in the Serie A, Deportivo Cuenca has no major local rivals.

Foundation
In 1970 the desire was born to form a professional soccer team in the city of Cuenca. This desire was shaped through Dr. Alejandro Serrano Aguilar (mayor of the city then) and the gentlemen Polivio Vázquez and Alfredo Pena. The citizen's endorsement was immediate before the initiative headed by the mayor, therefore the Commission of Sports was satisfied to the gentlemen Gilbert Sotomayor, Ricardo Ordóñez and Bolívar Lupercio, whose first management was to obtain the acceptance of the Ecuadorian Federation of Soccer so that the professional team of the city could participate in the professional level. By means of the session celebrated in February 1971 in the "Salón de la Ciudad" of the Very Illustrious Municipality of Cuenca, the project became a reality, and it was then that Deportivo Cuenca was born. A month later, the Association of Soccer funded the Asociación de Fútbol no Amateur del Azuay (AFA) (Association of Soccer non-Amateur of Azuay). As a club the first decisions were taken: the uniform would be red and yellow with a T-shirt to vertical rays, the first Technical Director was Carlos Alberto Raffo, the first contracted foreign soccer players were Rodolfo Piazza, the Paraguayan Luis Martínez who achieved the first team's goal, and Gerald Laterza. In its start, the team was known as the "Franela Roja" (Red Bandana).

Historical performance
Originally, and throughout most of its existence, the team was never a contender to the title, and never received much attention internationally, such as in the prestigious Copa Libertadores. Deportivo Cuenca had a brief successful period during the 1970s, becoming runner-up twice in 1975 & 1976. The favorable finishes allowed them to participate in the next year's Copa Libertadores. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the club was in-and-out of the second tier Serie B. They returned to Serie A in 2003, and in 2004, they became the second club outside Quito or Guayaquil to win the national championship. Since then, they have finished in the top three in three of four seasons, allowing them to participate in five of the past six Copa Libertadores.

Colors and badge
Deportivo Cuenca's historical kit has been red shirts with black shorts. Alternate kits, like most teams in Ecuador, varied from year to year. The badge of the team includes elements of the seal of the city of Cuenca.

Championship Year
In 2004, Deportivo Cuenca would win its first championship in its history. The process began with Argentine coach Daniel Córdoba, who joined the club's Javier Klimowicz, Marcelo Velazco, and national Giancarlos Ramos. After a successful first stage, halfway through the league, coach Cordoba abandoned Cuenca already qualified for the playoffs and contracted its replacement Julio "Turco" Asad. The title was secured on December 8 of 2004, with two games left in the tournament, when Deportivo Cuenca with 19.5 points, was unreachable for Barcelona and Olmedo who were runner up. That day Cuenca won 3–2 to Aucas in Quito, but the celebration began after the end of the game between El Nacional, and LDU Quito. The tie produced between those competitors allowed the Morlacos to be unreachable. Fans took to the streets to celebrate, thousands of vehicles blew their horns, with explosions of rockets and fireworks in the sky. The conquest had caused such joy in the fans that it forced the opening of the stadium where thousands of fans cheered the team. Prior to that there was a motorcade from the airport to the Alejandro Serrano Aguilar Stadium.

Nicknames
The club has several nicknames, the best known is "Morlacos", and "Expresso Austral" (Southern Express), the first is because people belonging to the city of Cuenca are commonly called so, the second was placed by the national press in the 1970s due to the campaigns being undertaken by the team, calling the team the southern train, a southern Express, as a visual depiction of overpassing its opponents.

It is also popularly called "Red" because of its kit shirt. The club was well known in its infancy, as "Red Flannel" because of the fabric and the color of their clothing. It is less commonly recognized as the "lion" because this is also the symbol of the city and is present in the emblem of the institution.

Maroon (band)

Maroon was a German metalcore band based in Nordhausen. They were formed in 1998.

History
Maroon released a demo cassette in 1999 entitled The Initiate although all four songs can be found on later releases. Their first CD, Captive in the Room of the Conspirator, was recorded at Headquarters Studion in Berlin in spring 2000 and released that year on the (now-defunct) Kerosene Recordings label, featuring such songs as "The Solution' which strongly advocated a vegan lifestyle and support for animal liberation and earth liberation. The band began touring Europe, opening for hardcore acts including Earth Crisis and Morning Again, which were cited as major influences.

Later that year, Maroon released a 7" split with Absidia on the Crap Chords label, featuring the song "Wasted" from The Initiate. That winter the band went back to the studio to record a split album with Self Conquest entitled The Key, this time using 101 Studios, also in Berlin.  Afterwards the band toured Europe and opened for bands including Heaven Shall Burn and Caliban.

In November 2001, Maroon entered Rape of Harmonies Studios to record their debut full-length, Antagonist, released on US vegan straight edge hardcore label Catalyst Records.

After some line-up changes Maroon switched labels to Alveran Records in 2003, who then re-released Antagonist. February 2004 saw the band at Denmark's Antfarm Studio recording a new full-length album entitled Endorsed by Hate. Following the recording, original guitarist Marc Zech left the band, and was replaced by Sebastian Rieche. The album was released in Europe in June, and between June and December 2004 Maroon played 60 shows across Europe, including major festivals such as With Full Force and Pressure Fest. In October, the band switched labels again, signing to Century Media Records. In early 2005, Century Media/Abacus released Endorsed by Hate in North America.

In March 2006, Century Media released Maroon's fourth full-length album When Worlds Collide. October 2007 saw the release of their second album for Century Media titled The Cold Heart of the Sun, and their latest, Order, was released on April 20, 2009.

After Sebastian Rieche and Nick Wachsmuth left in April 2011, the band was on a hold. Despite announcing a new album, they split up after a final tour in 2014.

Their songs "Wake up in Hell", "The Omega Suite Pt. II" and "At the Gates of Demise" were featured in the movie Zombie Strippers.
