Raiders IHC

The Raiders are an ice hockey team based in Romford, participating in the National Division of the National Ice Hockey League (NIHL), the second tier of British ice hockey.

They were known as the Romford Raiders when they were based at the Romford Ice Arena in the London Borough of Havering. They were founder members of the English Premier Ice Hockey League but have competed in the NIHL since 2012. Their development team was the Romford Spitfires, which played in Division 2 of the NIHL before being succeeded in 2009/10 by the Romford Fury.

The team moved to Leyton, East London, in 2013, when it adopted the new name London Raiders. Its team colours are white, gold and blue, and fans of the team are known as the Gold and Blue Army. The team returned to Romford in 2018, keeping the London Raiders name.

History

The club was founded in 1987 under the name Romford Raiders and coached by Gord Jeffrey, who went on to become a hero amongst the Romford fans.

Some of the best-known players to play for the Raiders include Rob Stewart, Dave Whistle and Mike Ellis, all of whom went on to play and coach at the highest levels in the UK.

The Raiders' first ever match was played on Sunday 13 September 1987, against the Oxford City Stars. Romford's first captain, Erskine Douglas, also scored the Raiders' first ever goal.

On 28 November 2010, during an English National League game against the Bracknell Hornets, Danny Marshall scored his 1,232nd point as a Raider when he assisted on a short-handed goal by Frankie Harvey. With that point, Marshall became the club's all-time leading scorer, surpassing Gord Jeffrey's long-standing record.

In 2013, the Romford Ice Arena was sold by Havering Council to investors. The team subsequently had to move to Lee Valley Ice Centre and became the London Raiders.

On February 3, 2018, the Raiders' played their first game at their new home back in Romford, the Sapphire Ice and Leisure Centre. London would come back to win 5–2 against the Cardiff Fire in front of a sell-out crowd. Former Romford Junior Olegs Lascenko scored the team's first ever goal at the new venue, however, it was Cardiff's Jackson Price who scored the first goal overall.

Empire silhouette

Empire silhouette, Empire line, Empire waist or just Empire is a style in clothing in which the dress has a fitted bodice ending just below the bust, giving a high-waisted appearance, and a gathered skirt which is long and loosely fitting but skims the body rather than being supported by voluminous petticoats. The outline is especially flattering to pear shapes wishing to disguise the stomach area or emphasize the bust. The shape of the dress also helps to lengthen the body's appearance.

While the style goes back to the late 18th century, the term "Empire silhouette" arose over a century later in early 20th-century Britain; here the word empire refers to the period of the First French Empire (1804–1815); Napoleon's first Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais was influential in popularizing the style around Europe. The word "empire" is pronounced with a special quasi-French pronunciation in the fashion world.

History
The style began as part of Neoclassical fashion, reviving styles from Greco-Roman art which showed women wearing loose fitting rectangular tunics, known as peplos or the more common chiton, which were belted under the bust, providing support and a cool, comfortable outfit suitable for the warm climate.

The last few years of the 18th century first saw the style coming into fashion in Western and Central Europe (and European-influenced areas). In 1788, just before the Revolution, the court portraitist Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun had held a "Greek supper" where the ladies wore plain white "Greek" tunics. Shorter classical hairstyles, where possible with curls, were less controversial and very widely adopted. Hair was now uncovered even outdoors; except for evening dress, bonnets or other coverings had typically been worn even indoors before. Thin Greek-style ribbons or fillets were used to tie or decorate the hair instead.

Empire dresses were light and loose, usually white, and were often made with short sleeves. A tie around the waistline, sitting just below the bust, was often in a different color. A long rectangular shawl or wrap, very often red with a decorative border in portraits, was also worn, and was lain around the midriff when seated—for which sprawling semi-recumbent postures were favored. By the turn of the 19th century, such styles had spread widely across Europe. In France the style was sometimes called "à la grecque" after the decorations found on the pottery and sculpture of Classical Greek art, though the empire dress had multiple sources, including Marie Antoinette's chemise à la reine, a simple white gown influenced by those worn by European women living abroad in warm climates, including the Americas. Napoleon used the dress in an imperial context, shifting its meaning from Greece to Rome in line with his political agenda during the Empire period.

The adoption of this style led to a drastic contrast between 1790s fashions and the constricting and voluminous styles of the 1770s (with a rigid cylindrical torso above panniers). The change is probably partially due to the French political upheavals after 1789 (which encouraged the recovery of ancient virtues, and discouraged the type of ostentatious ornately luxurious display formerly common in aristocratic fashions). The early styles often featured entirely bare arms, as in the ancient exemplars, but from about 1800 short sleeves became more typical, initially sometimes transparent as in David's Portrait of Madame Récamier (1800), then puffed. The style evolved through the Napoleonic era until the early 1820s, becoming gradually less simple, after which the hourglass Victorian styles became more popular.

English women's styles (often referred to as "regency") followed the same general trend of raised waistlines as French styles, even when the countries were at war. The style was very often worn in white to denote a high social status (especially in its earlier years); only women solidly belonging to what in England was known as the "genteel" classes could afford to wear the pale, easily soiled garments of the era. The look was popularized in Britain by Emma, Lady Hamilton, who designed such garments for her performances of poses in imitation of classical antiquity ("attitudes"), which were a sensation throughout Europe. The high-waisted cut of the dress was also applied to outer garments, such as the pelisse. The Empire silhouette contributed to making clothes of the 1795–1820 period generally less confining and cumbersome than high-fashion clothes of the earlier 18th and later 19th centuries.

The 1960s saw a revival of the style, possibly reflecting the less strict social mores of the era, similar to when the unconstricting 1920s "flapper" styles replaced the heavy corsetry of the early 1900s.

Camp Galil

Habonim Dror Camp Galil is a North American summer camp for Jews in Ottsville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles north of Philadelphia. It runs for seven weeks during the summer and hosts several seminars during the year.

History
Camp Galil was founded on its current Bucks County site in 1946 as part of Habonim, a Labor Zionist youth movement. Its name refers to the famously scenic area of northern Israel surrounding the Sea of Galilee. Prior to and during the 1947–1949 Palestine war, Galil used its resources to help the war effort on the Israeli side by holding weapons in its barn. As the new Jewish state emerged, Galil trained and educated many of its members to visit Israel and eventually make Aliyah (literally to "go up”), or move to the Land of Israel. Galilniks, along with other members of Habonim, helped found and build several kibbutzim (socialist farming communities) all over Israel, including Gesher Haziv, Urim, and others.

Since that time, Galil has focused more on its summer camp and year-round programming. Its slogan is "the spirit of kibbutz...close to home!" emphasizing the community-minded values of the kibbutz movement, but in an American Jewish context. The main goal of Galil today is to teach young people to be Jewish leaders in their own communities.

Galil today
Galil is a very active machaneh (camp), both as part of HDNA and as part of the Philadelphia Jewish community.

Summer Camp
Galil runs a seven-week summer camp every year which is split into two sessions. First session is four weeks long and runs from late June to mid July. Second session is three weeks long and runs from mid July to early August. Each session has about 130-160 chanichim (campers), with second session usually having fewer chanichim than first. Younger, first-year, chanichim can also opt to come for only two weeks and then extend their stay.

In 2010, Galil introduced a new program called "Taste of Galil" for campers finishing second grade only. They spend four days in a one-on-one setting with their counselors and the other campers their age.

During the year
Though the summer camp only runs for seven weeks, Galil remains active year-round! During the rest of the year, Eizor Galil represents all the Habonim Dror members from the Philadelphia area. Different age groups are split into kenim (literally "nests"), and have various kef (fun) activities run for them by their year-round counselors, such as movies, bowling, haunted hay rides, fondue parties, and ice skating as well as chinuch (educational) activities which expand on the different curricular themes of the previous summer.

Also during the year are about five annual events which all the kenim participate in together. In September, Galil kicks off the events with an annual potluck dinner. Every fall and spring, Galil opens its gates for a three-day "seminar," where camp is in session from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. This is a great time for people considering Galil to see what it's really like, and for people who've already been there to meet up with their friends. Every winter there is also a one-night Chanukkah sleepover, usually at a JCC. Eizor Galil (which is composed of all the kenim together) also normally runs celebrations for Passover, Purim, or both.

Age groups
Galil is attended by children finishing grades 3 through 9, who are split into schavot (age groups).

 * 1) Post 2nd grade-"Taste of Galil"
 * 2) Post 3rd grade-Younger Amelim
 * 3) Post 4th grade-Amelim (workers)
 * 4) Post 5th grade-Chotrim (rowers)
 * 5) Post 6th grade- Par Par  or Sayarim (patrollers)
 * 6) Post 7th grade-Tzofim (scouts)
 * 7) Post 8th grade-Bonim (builders)
 * 8) Post 9th grade-Bogrim (graduates)
 * 9) Post 10th grade-MBI MBI stands for Machaneh Bonim Israel or building camp in Israel (roughly translated). All post 10th graders from Habonim Dror camps around North America travel around together throughout Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel).

Other Machanot (camps)
Habonim Dror North America (The Builders of Freedom) has six active camps in North America, five of which were originally Habonim and one of which was originally Dror (Gesher). The camps are called (and located in) Miriam (Vancouver, Canada), Tavor (MI), Gesher (Ontario, Canada), Moshava (MD), Galil (PA), and Gilboa (CA).

Habonim Dror leadership training programs for graduates of Galil
Post 10th graders from Galil participate with 10th graders from all 6 Habonim Dror North America camps in a summer program in Israel called Machaneh Bonim b'Israel (MBI).

Post 11th graders engage in a summer leadership program called Madatz. This is a tochnit (program) dedicated to developing hadracha (leadership) and heightening the sense of kvutsah (group), similar to a CIT type experience and most of the graduates go on to become Madrachim (counselors) the following summers and youth leaders during the school year.

Post 12th graders participate in the Habonim Dror year program in Israel—the oldest such program—known as Workshop. Workshop is in its 72nd year (as of 2023). Chanichim (campers) and madrichim (councilors) alike identify themselves by their workshop number (or madatz year) and some even have a symbol for it.

Notable alumni
Notable alumni include:
 * 1) Ron Bloom
 * 2) Kenneth Bob
 * 3) Jack Markell
 * 4) Judith Rodin
 * 5) Noah "Xaphoon Jones" Beresin

Facilities
Camp Galil bought its 63-acre campsite in 1946 from the local Young Women's Christian Association. Few of the buildings that already existed are still in use today. The original dining hall was turned into an assembly building (moadon) after the first major building project on site. That moadon was torn down, replaced by the Amy Adina Schulman Center in 2011. This two-building complex includes a stage, radio room, fireplace, musical instrument practice space, offices, and a resource room. The Amy Adina Schulman Center—known around camp as the MoAdina and Beit Adina—are named for a Galil alumna who died while studying at Rutgers University.

In 2013, Galil completed a conservation easement with Tinicum Conservancy to protect most of its acres.

User:Ems57fcva/sandbox/Planet X

 * This article is about the hypothetical planet. For the comic book storyline, see Planet X (comics).

Planet X is a large hypothetical planet orbiting beyond the orbit of Neptune. Its existence was argued for on the basis of apparent discrepancies in the orbits of the gas giants, especially those of Uranus and Neptune.

Although Pluto was discovered as a result of the search for planet X, it is not planet X.

July 29, 2005: The discovery of Kuiper Belt object 2003 UB313, which appears to be larger than Pluto, is announced. See the New discovery section.

The search for Planet X
At the end of the 19th century, many astronomers were speculated about the existence of a planet beyond Neptune. The discovery of Neptune had ocurred because of the calculations of the mathematicians Adams and Le Verrier. Those calculations were based on discrepancies between the calculated and observed orbits of Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter. However, there still were some slight discrepancies in those orbits after the discovery of Neptune, and also in the orbit of Neptune. These were taken to indicate the existance of yet another planet orbiting beyond Neptune.

Percival Lowell, who is most well known as a proponent for canals on Mars, called this hypothetical planet "Planet X" (X for "unknown", not the Roman numeral "ten", as only eight planets were known at the time). He performed two searches for it, without success, the first ending in 1909, and the second started in 1913 after revising his prediction for where it should be found. This search ended in 1915, after which Lowell published his theoretical results parameters for Planet X. Ironically, at his observatory that year, two faint images of Pluto were recorded, but it was not recognized as a planet at the time. Finally another search was started at the Lowell Observatory in 1928. That search ended with the discovery of Pluto by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930.

Upon its discovery, Pluto was originally thought to be Planet X, but its mass was not sufficient to explain Neptune's orbit, so the search continued. However these apparent discrepancies were resolved when the space probes Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, and Voyagers 1 and 2 discovered that the masses of the gas giants had been miscalculated. When the correct masses were used to calculate the orbits of the outer planets, the remaining discrepancies vanished. In addition, there have been no discrepancies in the trajectories of the above mention space probes that can be accounted for by the gravitational pull of a large undiscovered object in the solar system.

Results of searches for Planet(s) X
After discovering Pluto, Tombaugh continued to search the ecliptic for other distant planets. He found asteroids, variable stars, and even a comet, but no more planets.

The distant space probes have also acted as planet searchers, since their paths would be affected by any sufficiently close and massive objects. So far, no discrepancies have been found in their trajectories that can be explained by trans-Neptunian planets.

After the distocovery of Pluto, no more trans-Neptunian objects were found until the discovery of (15760) 1992 QB₁ in 1992. Since that time, more and more trans-Neptunian objects have been discovered. The objects are now recognized as mosly belonging to the Kuiper Belt: icy bodies orbiting in the plane of the ecliptic beyond Neptune which are left over from the formation of the solar system. Pluto itself is now recognized as being the largest of the Kuiper Belt objects. This has caused there to be some concern over whether Pluto should be called a planet, but at this time Pluto officially remains a planet.

The Kupier Belt comes to a sudden end at 55 AU. There is speculation that this is caused by the presense of an object with a mass intermediate between those of Mars and Earth beyond 55 AU. So the story of the search for Planet X may not be over yet.

Another object, Sedna, was discovered in 2004 and is the most distant known object in the solar system. It is speculated to be an inner member of the Oort cloud, which is a distant reservoir of comets created when most of the original population of the Kuiper Belt was scattered by the outer planets early in the history of the solar system.

New discovery
On July 29, 2005, the discovery of the Kuiper Belt object 2003 UB313 was announced. 2003 UB313 appears to be bigger than Pluto. It is 97 AU from the Sun in an orbit tilted 44° with respect to the ecliptic. It was discovered by Michael E. Brown (Caltech), Chad Trujillo (Gemini Observatory), and David Rabinowitz (Yale University) using the Gemini North telescope.

See the Sky and Telescope article on 2003 UB313 for more information.

Planet X in Myth
The Sumerian scholar Zecharia Sitchin, in his book The 12th Planet, discusses the planet Nibiru on a long, elliptical orbit, which reaches the inner solar system every 3600 years. This is considered to be pseudoscience by mainstream scientists and historians. See Nibiru (myth).

Planet X in Fiction

 * In Larry Niven's Known Space universe, Persephone is a small gas giant with a single moon, Kobold.
 * In Douglas Adams's novel Mostly Harmless, Planet X is officially called Persephone, but nicknamed Rupert, and is inhabited by the crew of a spaceship who have forgotten almost everything about their mission, except that they are supposed to be "monitoring" something.
 * In the sixth Godzilla film, Monster Zero, aliens known in Japan as X-seijin and in America as Xians hail from Planet X, between Jupiter and Saturn.
 * In Doctor Who, the tenth planet of the solar system is called Mondas, home of the Cybermen. Mondas is/was a twin planet of Earth.
 * In some Looney Tunes cartoons, while in space a there is usually a planet X. The name is either noted by a bland sign sticking out saying PLANET X, or a giant letter X on the planet's surface. Also Planet X in some cartoons is followed by planets named after other letters, such as Planet Q or Planet Z.
 * The computer RPG Ultima II has a Planet X that must be visited to acquire an artifact.
 * The TV series Space: 1999 features the 10th planet in its premiere episode.
 * Although not considered canon, a 1970s publication entitled Star Trek Maps suggests that, in the Star Trek universe, the solar system has a 10th planet called Persephone that orbits at a great distance from the Sun. No canonical film or TV episode has yet supported this, however.

Edwyn ap Gwriad

Edwyn ap Gwriad was a Welsh king of Gwent from 1015 to 1045. He was imprisoned and blinded by his successor, Meurig ap Hywel, the son of Hywel ab Owain. The Anglo-Saxon name "Edwyn" along with Gwent's proximity to the English marches seems to imply some degree of relationship with early English rulers of the time.

Portal (1986 video game)

Portal is a text-driven adventure with a graphical interface published for the Amiga in 1986 by Activision. The writing is by American author Rob Swigart, and it was produced by Brad Fregger. Ports to the Commodore 64, Apple II, and IBM PC were later released. A version for the Atari ST was announced and developed, but not published. Until recently, it was thought that a Macintosh version was similarly developed yet left unpublished. The published Macintosh version was rediscovered in 2021 by a game collector.

Plot
The player, taking on the role of the unnamed astronaut protagonist, returns from a failed 100-year voyage to 61 Cygni to find the Earth devoid of humans. Cars are rusted and covered with moss, the streets are completely barren, and everything appears as though the entire human race had just vanished suddenly. The player happens upon a barely functioning computer terminal that is tied into a storytelling mainframe, Homer. Through this interface, the player, assisted by Homer who attempts to weave the information into a coherent narrative, discovers information in order to piece together the occurrences leading to the disappearance of the human race. For instance, spending some time in the Medical Records section may unlock a piece of data in the Science section, and through these links the player can finish the game.

Reception
Info gave the Commodore 64 version of Portal five stars out of five, describing it as "engrossing, fascinating, and somewhat disturbing ... like a murder mystery, an expedition, and having amnesia all rolled into one". Roy Wagner of Computer Gaming World described the story as "interesting and well-written", but felt the interface was tedious. The Amiga version, using a mouse, was considered superior to that of the C64, and only bothered the reviewer by way of slowing down the reading of the story. The magazine's Charles Ardai agreed that the interface was tedious and hesitated to recommend it because it was not a game, but said that the quality of the writing was very high.

Novel
A hardcover novel, titled Portal: A Dataspace Retrieval (1988) and composed mostly of the text from the interactive novel with some new additions, was written by the same author, Rob Swigart, and first published by St. Martin's Press. It takes the form of a series of notes on different subjects, in an order the player would encounter them through Homer. A softcover edition was released by Backinprint.com in 2001.

An eBook was released "under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND Unported license 3.0". The author has allowed it to be uploaded to the MobileRead forum.

Legacy
In April 2012, author Rob Swigart and Subliminal Games launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign called "Rob Swigart's Portal (1986) Reborn" to recreate the world of Portal as a modern third-person adventure game. Some of the features set to be included were moving backward or forward in time through a simulation of the past and changing the character's appearance for different responses and reactions by virtual non-player characters. On June 5, the project creator cancelled the Kickstarter project having raised only $22,796 of the $530,000 target.

Cognitive ethology

Cognitive ethology is a branch of ethology concerned with the influence of conscious awareness and intention on the behaviour of an animal. Donald Griffin, a zoology professor in the United States, set up the foundations for researches in the cognitive awareness of animals within their habitats.

The fusion of cognitive science and classical ethology into cognitive ethology "emphasizes observing animals under more-or-less natural conditions, with the objective of understanding the evolution, adaptation (function), causation, and development of the species-specific behavioral repertoire" (Niko Tinbergen 1963).

According to Jamieson & Bekoff (1993), "Tinbergen's four questions about the evolution, adaptation, causation and development of behavior can be applied to the cognitive and mental abilities of animals." Allen & Bekoff (1997, chapter 5) attempt to show how cognitive ethology can take on the central questions of cognitive science, taking as their starting point the four questions described by Barbara Von Eckardt in her 1993 book What is Cognitive Science?, generalizing the four questions and adding a fifth. Kingstone, Smilek & Eastwood (2008) suggested that cognitive ethology should include human behavior. They proposed that researchers should firstly study how people behave in their natural, real world environments and then move to the lab. Anthropocentric claims for the ways non-human animals interact in their social and non-social worlds are often used to influence decisions on how the non-human animals can or should be used by humans.

Relation to laboratory experimental psychology
Traditionally, cognitive ethologists have questioned research methods that isolate animals in unnatural surroundings and present them with a limited set of artificial stimuli, arguing that such techniques favor the study of artificial issues that are not relevant to an understanding of the natural behavior of animals. However, many modern researchers favor a judicious combination of field and laboratory methods.

Relation to ethics
Bekoff, M and Allen, C (1997) "identify three major groups of people (among some of whose members there are blurred distinctions) with different views on cognitive ethology, namely, slayers, skeptics, and proponents." The latter seemingly convergent with animal rights thinking in seeing animal experience as worthy in itself.

Ethicist Peter Singer is an example of a "proponent" in this sense, as is biologist E. O. Wilson who coined the term biophilia to describe the basis of a direct moral cognition, that 'higher' animals would use to perceive moral implications in the environment directly.

Three views
According to Marc Bekoff, there are three different views towards whether a science of cognitive ethology is even possible. Slayers deny any possibility of success in cognitive ethology, proponents keep an open mind about animal cognition and the utility of cognitive ethological investigation, and skeptics stand somewhere in between.

Looking over the catalog numbers in Win Records' catalog, Imaginaryland is Win020. Win019 and Win021 were both released in 1996, thus, the album was certainly released around the same time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayor of awesometown 38.117.204.170 (talk) 20:00, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Mayor_of_awesometown (talk • contribs) 17:50, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

That Touch of Mink

That Touch of Mink is a 1962 American romantic comedy film directed by Delbert Mann, and starring Cary Grant, Doris Day, Gig Young and Audrey Meadows.

Plot
Cathy Timberlake, a New York career woman looking for a job, walks to the unemployment office to collect her check. There, she is subjected to the unwanted advances of Beasley, a clerk who's interested only in sex. Then, she meets business executive Philip Shayne after his Rolls-Royce splashes her dress with mud while on her way to a job interview. Philip wants to make up for the incident. Upon meeting, the two discover a strong mutual attraction. Over time, Philip proposes a romantic affair, while Cathy holds out for marriage. In a minor subplot, Philip's financial manager, Roger, sees a therapist to discuss his guilt about helping his boss with numerous sexual conquests -- including Cathy. But the therapist, who is discreetly absent from the room when Cathy's name is mentioned, believes that Roger is considering a homosexual affair with Philip.

Philip wines and dines Cathy nightly, even spending one date at a Yankees game, sharing the dugout with Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and Yogi Berra. But this particular conquest weighs on Philip's conscience, so he withdraws an invitation to Bermuda. However, this only serves to make Cathy indignant. Asserting her independence, she agrees to go. But while in Bermuda, she is anxiety-ridden over the evening's sexual implications. As a result, Cathy comes down with a nervous rash, much to her embarrassment and Philip's frustration. Later, a second Bermuda trip is attempted, but this time Cathy drinks whiskey to soothe her nerves and winds up intoxicated, falling off the hotel balcony onto an awning below. She is then carried in her pajamas through the crowded lobby.

At the urging of Roger and Connie, who are convinced Philip is in love with her, Cathy plans a motel rendezvous with Beasley to make Philip jealous. Her plan succeeds, and she and Philip are married. On their honeymoon, he breaks out in a nervous rash himself. The film ends with Cathy and Philip months later, walking with their baby and Roger through a park. The two leave Roger alone with the baby for a few moments, during which time his therapist approaches him to ask how things are going with Philip. In response, Roger joyously displays the baby, causing another misunderstanding on the therapist's part.

Production
Cary Grant was a big fan of The Honeymooners and Audrey Meadows in particular, and was responsible for getting her the part of Connie.

In her autobiography, Doris Day wrote that Cary Grant was very professional and exacting with details, helping her with her wardrobe choices for the film and decorating the library set with his own books from home. However, he was a completely private person, totally reserved, and very distant. Their relationship on this film was amicable, but totally devoid of give-and-take.

When Roger (Gig Young) is showing Cathy (Doris Day) the list of potential husbands for her, one of the names on the list is Rock Hudson, Day's co-star in Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back, and Send Me No Flowers. In fact, Hudson had expected to be cast as Philip, but director Delbert Mann wanted Cary Grant.

A news item in the July 20, 1961 Daily Variety noted that Cary Grant had "telephoned the French automotive company, Citroën, to order a new car for use in the film." The factory reportedly shipped “the display model” to the studio without hesitation and the car is prominently featured in the film, garnering key publicity for the new roadster model, the Citroën DS 19 Décapotable Usine.

Release
The film grossed $17.6 million at the box office, earning $7.9 million in theatrical rentals in the United States and Canada. It was the 4th highest-grossing film of 1962. It was the fastest film to gross over $1,000,000 at a single theatre, reaching that milestone in five weeks at Radio City Music Hall in New York and was there for another five weeks setting a theatre record gross at the time of $1.9 million.

Reception
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 78% based on reviews from 9 critics.

The Daily Variety film review on May 9, 1962, noted "The gloss of That Touch of Mink, however, doesn't obscure an essentially threadbare lining," while "Miss Day...certifies herself an adept farceur with this outing."

Critic Emanuel Levy notes that "Day performs with some charm her familiar type, the world’s oldest virgin, a professional who demands to be treated with respect and doesn’t believe in living in sin; legit marriage and wedding ring should come before sex. Just watch the horror on her face, when she notices a single bed in Philip’s Bermuda suite"

The Movie Channel notes "They look dated, silly, even prudish to us today, but back in the late 50s and early 60s, Doris Day starred in a series of comedies built around the question of will she or won't she have sex with him? that were the beginnings of a change in the depiction of adult relationships on screen...one thing was new here: the frank acknowledgement that certain adults, particularly those lucky enough to live and dress well in swinging Manhattan, were having sex without benefit of marriage. And this was an occasion not for scandal or tragedy but for slightly risqué humor."

Paperback novelization
In May 1962, Fawcett's line of Gold Medal Books issued a paperback novelization by-lined John Tessitore. It is unknown if this is the author's actual name or a pseudonym; novelization work tended to go to seasoned authors, and during that era, the "Tessitore" by-line only ever appeared on three Gold Medal film tie-ins. In any event, the novel is written in the first person, from the POV of Doris Day's character Cathy Timberlake.

Private army

A private army (or private military) is a military or paramilitary force consisting of armed combatants who owe their allegiance to a private person, group, or organization, rather than a nation or state.

History
Private armies may form when landowners arm household retainers for the protection of self and property in times of strife, and where and when central government is weak. Such private armies existed for example in the Roman Empire following the collapse of central authority. The dynamics at play in such circumstances can be observed in modern-day Colombia: on the one hand there are those forces affiliated with the drug cartels, existing to protect their criminality, and on the other those of the landlords created to resist kidnappings and extortion, i.e. Muerte a Secuestradores and the Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia.

In many places these private household retainers evolved into feudal-like structures, formalising obligations and allegiances and becoming household troops, and in some cases gaining the strength to allow them to usurp power from their nominal suzerain or to create new sovereign states.

Private armies may also form when co-religionists band together to defend themselves from real and perceived persecution and to further their creed, for example the Hussites, the Mormon Nauvoo Legion and the Mahdi Army in Iraq; because of their nature, such militias are formed by or fall under the influence of charismatic leaders, and can become instruments of personal ambition.

East Asia

 * Sōhei: the warrior monks of Japan owed their loyalty not to the state or even the Emperor but to their monasteries.
 * The Presidency armies of the British East India Company, and the armed forces of the Dutch East India Company. Both possessed powerful armies and navies, administering areas many times the size of their homelands.
 * The militaries of the Indian princely states, during the British Raj, which were mainly for ceremonial duties, protection of their princes, and internal security within their states.
 * Chinese Junfas during the Warlord Era following the death of Yuan Shikai in 1916.
 * The SMR Zone defence force in Manchukuo.
 * The Royal Johor Military Force of the state of Johor and the private royal guard of Sultan of Johor in Malaysia.

Europe

 * Victual Brothers, a pirate brotherhood that for a time became a power in the Baltic.
 * Atholl Highlanders, a purely ceremonial group which claims to be the only private army in Europe.
 * German Freikorps after the First World War were usually only loyal to their commanders, and not to the Weimar Republic.
 * Crusading orders: for example the Knights Templar, Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights.

Russia and Caucasus

 * The Russian Wagner Group has been accused of being the private army of Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Americas

 * The Mongoose Gang was a private army or militia which operated from 1967 to 1979 under the control of Sir Eric Gairy, the Premier and later Prime Minister of Grenada.

Cartoon Cartoons

Cartoon Cartoons is a collective name used by Cartoon Network for their original animated television series originally aired from April 28, 1996, to November 8, 2009, and produced in majority by Hanna-Barbera and/or Cartoon Network Studios. The collective name includes the Cartoon Network original series What a Cartoon!, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, The Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Mike, Lu & Og, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Sheep in the Big City, Time Squad, Grim & Evil, Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?, Codename: Kids Next Door, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and Evil Con Carne.

Beginning with its inception into cable broadcasting on October 1, 1992, Cartoon Network had focused its programming on reruns of older animated series which it had acquired through its parent company's film library. The Cartoon Cartoons label originated with Fred Seibert's animation anthology series What a Cartoon!, an animation showcase series featuring pilots of original cartoon ideas submitted by independent animators. Dexter's Laboratory was the first such pilot to be greenlit by the network for a full series in 1996. After other pilots were successfully produced into their own series, including Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, and The Powerpuff Girls, the collective Cartoon Cartoons were featured on the network's Friday night programming block, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays from 1999 to 2003. Not all CN original series created around this time were officially recognized as Cartoon Cartoons; Samurai Jack and The Cramp Twins for example, did not bear the moniker.

The moniker was retired by the network in 2004, and its last surviving series, Ed, Edd n Eddy, ended in 2009 after a ten-year run. Since their heyday, reruns of the Cartoon Cartoons continued to air on The Cartoon Cartoon Show (2005–2008) and Cartoon Planet (2012–2014). In 2021, the name was resurrected by the network for a new shorts program.

History
Cartoon Cartoons first appeared as shorts on animation showcase series What a Cartoon! in 1995, under the name of World Premiere Toons. The series was produced by Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network Studios under the direction of Fred Seibert. Seibert had been a guiding force for Nickelodeon (having overseen the creation of Nicktoons shortly prior to his departure) prior to joining Hanna-Barbera and would establish Frederator Studios years later.

Through What a Cartoon!, Cartoon Network was able to assess the potential of certain shorts to serve as pilots for spin-off series and signed contracts with their creators to create ongoing series. Dexter's Laboratory was the most popular short series according to a vote held in 1995, and became a full series in 1996. Dexter was retroactively labeled the first Cartoon Cartoon in 1997; however, the network's previous original shows, The Moxy Show and Space Ghost Coast to Coast, were not retroactively given the label.

The Cartoon Cartoon brand was first introduced in July 1997 for the network's Cartoon Cartoon Weekend block. Three more series based on shorts debuted in 1997: Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and I Am Weasel (the latter two as segments of the same show; I Am Weasel was later spun off into a separate show). These were followed by The Powerpuff Girls in 1998 and Ed, Edd n Eddy in 1999, and Mike, Lu & Og and Courage the Cowardly Dog in 1999, creating a lineup of critically acclaimed shows. From 1999 to 2003, the Cartoon Cartoon Fridays block was the network's marquee night for premieres of new episodes and series.

In 2001, the network received Time Squad and Grim & Evil. Also in 2001, the show Samurai Jack premiered, but was not officially branded as a Cartoon Cartoon despite airing during the various programming blocks. In 2002, Codename: Kids Next Door became a full series after being chosen in the previous year's Big Pick Weekend. In 2003, Grim & Evil was split into The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne; they were the last original series to officially carry the Cartoon Cartoon branding before it was discontinued.

The Cartoon Cartoons were intended to appeal to a wider audience than the average Saturday-morning cartoon. Linda Simensky, vice president of original animation, reminded adults and teenage girls that the cartoons could appeal to them as well. Kevin Sandler's article on them claimed that these cartoons were both less "bawdy" than their counterparts at Comedy Central and less "socially responsible" than their counterparts at Nickelodeon. Sandler pointed to the whimsical rebelliousness, high rate of exaggeration and self-consciousness of the overall output which each individual series managed.

In October 2003, the live-action Fridays premiered on the network as a replacement for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. The Cartoon Cartoons bumpers (that appeared before and after episodes of its original series) were dropped after the network's CN City rebrand in June 2004. In August 2004, the block Cartoon Cartoons: The Top 5 was renamed to simply The Top 5. CN still kept the Cartoon Cartoons name around in various forms applying to their older series (such as for The Cartoon Cartoon Show from 2005 to 2008), but since newer shows such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, and Ben 10 were stylistically different from previous shows, the moniker was not applied to them.

However, internationally in places like Asia and Latin America, the moniker continued on until 2007 with shows like Foster's Home, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Camp Lazlo, and My Gym Partner's a Monkey.

Revival
On April 15, 2021, Cartoon Network announced a new iteration of the Cartoon Cartoons shorts program. On November 24, 2021, the first new Cartoon Cartoons shorts were announced. The first nine shorts include Accordions Geoffery & Mary Melodica by Louie Zong (of The Ghost and Molly McGee and We Bare Bears), ''Dang! It's Dracula by Levon Jihanian (of Tig n' Seek), Hungy Ghost by Jesse Moynihan (of Adventure Time), Fruit Stand at the End of the World by Rachel Liu, Off the Menu by Shavonne Cherry (of Ren & Stimpy and The Looney Tunes Show), Harmony in Despair by Andrew Dickman (of Looney Tunes Cartoons), Unravel by Alexis Sugden, Mouthwash Madness by Lisa Vandenberg (of Animaniacs), and Scaredy Cat by JJ Villard (of King Star King''). On June 7, 2022, more Cartoon Cartoons were announced. The next seven shorts include The All-Nimal by Nick Edwards (of Apple & Onion and The Fungies!), Buttons' Gamezone by Fernando Puig (of The Cuphead Show!, Middlemost Post and Tig n' Seek), Tib Tub, We Need You by Sean Godsey and Mike Rosenthal, I Love You Jocelyn by Tracey Laguerre (Art and Animation Director for brands like Google, Dreamworks, Buzzfeed and more), Pig in a Wig by Sam Marin (of Regular Show), The Good Boy Report (based on the webcomic of the same name) by Kasey Williams (of Niko and the Sword of Light and Harley Quinn) and Maude Macher and Dom Duck by Kali Fontecchio (of The Looney Tunes Show and Jellystone!). On March 21, 2024, GiAnna Ligammari (of Niko and the Sword of Light and Inside Job) announced a Cartoon Cartoons short ISCREAM created by her. Four days after, the short was announced as being completed. The shorts were showcased in a screening on April 25, 2024. The short The All-nimal will be shown at Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 11, 2024.

Programming blocks
More shows premiered bearing the Cartoon Cartoons brand, airing throughout the network's schedule and prominently on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, which became the marquee night for premieres of new episodes and shows beginning June 11, 1999. On June 9, 2000, the Cartoon Cartoon Fridays block began to be hosted each week by a different character from a Cartoon Cartoon series, with the first host being Eustace from Courage the Cowardly Dog. The June 9 broadcast also began the first week of The Big Pick, a showcase of cartoon pilots that could become full series based on the results of an online viewer poll. A similar event, The Big Pick II, aired the following year. On October 3, 2003, following a months-long switch to Summer Fridays and Fridays, the block was rebooted under a hybrid live-action format as Fridays, hosted by Tommy Snider and Nzinga Blake, the latter of whom was later replaced by Tara Sands. It aired shows outside the Cartoon Cartoon moniker, such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Squirrel Boy, and Class of 3000. The last airing of Fridays was on February 23, 2007.

Cartoon Cartoons: The Top 5 (simply retitled The Top 5 in 2004), an hour-long program featuring a countdown of the week's five "best" Cartoon Cartoon episodes from the network's lineup, ran from 2002 to 2008. From 2005 to 2008, the Cartoon Cartoons label was primarily used for The Cartoon Cartoon Show, a half-hour program featuring episodes of older Cartoon Cartoons that were no longer shown regularly on the network.

The block Cartoon Planet was revived on Cartoon Network from 2012 to 2014, airing in a format similar to The Cartoon Cartoon Show. It featured Cartoon Cartoons such as Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, The Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Codename: Kids Next Door, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and other original Cartoon Network Studios series such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, and Chowder.

Full series

 * (+) Indicates that the show originally aired as part of Grim & Evil, and that the 2003-2004 episodes were not produced for the standalone show.

In other media
DC Comics ran an anthology comic based on the Cartoon Cartoons; the series ran from March 2001 to October 2004 for a total of 33 issues.

In the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode "Crossover Nexus", the Cartoon Cartoon logo is shown in the bottom of a wall inside the Cartoon Network headquarters; the Cartoon Cartoon jingle theme song is played when Ben Tennyson (Ben 10) shape-shifts into different Cartoon Network characters.

Portrait of Sinan
From Commons: "a very similar drawing was first published in 1927 in an article by Tosyavizade Rifat Osman Bey. He claimed that it was drawn by the deceased artist Hazan Riza who had copied it from an Italian engraving made during Sinan's lifetime. According to the historian Gülru Necipoğlu, this forms part of the invented history of Sinan." In other words, Necipoğlu, who is an authority on the subject, says that it is an invented portrait. And we don't illustrate biographies with invented portraits. On the other side, according to Necipoğlu, the "messy" (!) miniature portraits Sinan (see "The Age of Sinan", p. 135, fig. 118), and dates 1579, so it is much more probable that it depicts the architect as he really was. Alex2006 (talk) 09:35, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

 * The current image is about contemporary, the other has the appearance of a modern drawing, just a generic man with a beard (though I'm guessing Sinan probably had a beard for most of his life, I think it was the style at the time). Current image clearly preferable WP:LEADIMAGE IMO. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:49, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I apologise for not reading that description.
 * However, if the other image fails because it cannot be determined if it is Sinan or not, surely the other image fails as well, as it is only "possibly" Sinan? The Madras (talk) 10:54, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * IMO, if a WP:RS says "possibly" (and WP makes this clear), it's good enough for the purpose (I'm unaware of better alternatives). As I understand it, there is no doubt the scene is the construction of the mausoleum for Sultan Süleyman I, which he was involved in. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:02, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Noting that my general opinion is that if we can have something contemporary on a historical person, we should. "Maybe that person" is not unique on WP, see for example Xerxes I, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:13, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * According to Necipoğlu, the architect portrayed in the miniature is Sinan. Here her comment to the image: "Sinan oversees the construction of Süleyman's mausoleum while the funeral cortege in the foreground carries a royal coffin". 1579. Alex2006 (talk) 11:45, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Is that from Cicek Kemal: The Great Ottoman Turkish Civilisation. Ankara 2000. p. 450. or somewhere else? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:04, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No, the citation is from "The Age of Sinan", a beautiful book whose English edition was printed in 2005. Alex2006 (talk) 14:56, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Then I assume the "maybe" is from the Kemal book, but I can't confirm it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:26, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Adelardo López de Ayala y Herrera

Adelardo López de Ayala y Herrera (1 May 1828 – 30 December 1879) was a Spanish writer and politician.

Life
He was born at Guadalcanal, Seville on 1 May 1828, and at a very early age began writing for the theatre of his native town. The titles of these juvenile performances, which were played by amateurs, were Salga por donde saliere, Me voy a Sevilla and La Corona y el Fugal. As travelling companies never visited Guadalcanal, and as ladies took no part in the representations, these three plays were written for men only. Ayala persuaded his sister to appear as the heroine of his comedy, La Primera Dama, and the innovation if it scandalized some of his townsmen, permitted him to develop his talent more freely.

In his twentieth year he matriculated at the University of Seville, but his career as a student was undistinguished. In Seville he made acquaintance with García Gutiérrez, who is reported to have encouraged his dramatic ambitions and to have given him the benefit of his own experience as a playwright. Early in 1850, Ayala removed his name from the university books, and settled in Madrid with the purpose of becoming a professional dramatist. Though he had no friends and no influence, he speedily found an opening. A four-act play in verse, Un Hombre de Estado, was accepted by the managers of the Teatro Español, was given on 25 January 1851, and proved a remarkable success.

Henceforward Ayala's position and popularity were secure. Within a year he became more widely known by his Castigo y Perdón, and by a more humorous effort, Los Dos Guzmanes; and shortly afterwards he was appointed by the Moderado (moderate) government to a post in the home office, which he lost in 1854 on the succession to power of the Liberal party.

In 1854 he produced Rioja, perhaps the most admired and the most admirable of all his works, and from 1854 to 1856 he took an active part in the political campaign carried on in the journal El Padre Cobos. A zarzuela entitled Guerra a Muerte, for which Emilio Arrieta composed the music, belongs to 1855, and to the same collaboration is due El Agente de Matrimonios.

At about this date Ayala passed over from the Moderates to the Progressives, and this political maneuver had its effect upon the fate of his plays. The performances of Los Comuneros were attended by members of the different parties; the utterances of the different characters were taken to represent the author's personal opinions, and every speech which could be brought into connection with current politics was applauded by one half of the house and derided by the other half.

A zarzuela named El Conde de Castralla was given amid much uproar on 20 February 1856, and, as the piece seemed likely to cause serious disorder in the theatre, it was suppressed by the government after the third performance. Ayala's rupture with the Moderates was now complete, and in 1857, through the interest of General Leopoldo O'Donnell, he was elected as Liberal deputy for Badajoz.

His political changes are difficult to follow or explain, and they have been unsparingly censured. So far as can be judged, Ayala had no strong political views, and drifted with the current of the moment.

He took part in the revolution of 1868, wrote the Manifesto of Cadiz, took office as colonial minister, favored the candidature of Antoine, Duke of Montpensier, resigned in 1871, returned to his early conservative principles, and was a member of Alfonso XII's first cabinet. Meanwhile, however divided in opinion as to his political conduct, his countrymen were practically unanimous in admiring his dramatic work; and his reputation, if it gained little by El Nuevo Don Juan, was greatly increased by El Tanto por Ciento and El Tejado de Vidrio. His last play, Consuelo, was given on 30 March 1878. Ayala was nominated to the post of president of the congress shortly before his death, which occurred unexpectedly on 30 January 1879.

The Manson Family (film)

The Manson Family is a 1997 American true crime exploitation horror film directed by Jim Van Bebber. The film covers the lives of Charles Manson and his family of followers.

Plot
In 1996, Jack Wilson is producing a crime docuseries segment on the Manson Family murders. Narrated via contemporaneous interviews and flashbacks, several former members of Charles "Charlie" Manson's "family" recount their time spent leading up to the August 1969 murder spree. Tex Watson is brought to Spahn Ranch, a former movie set-turned-commune where Manson is housing his followers. Tex ingratiates himself with the group, who spend their time taking copious amounts of LSD, smoking marijuana, and engaging in group sex; meanwhile, Charlie unsuccessfully attempts to get a record deal with his folk music.

Several of the male members, including Tex and Bobby Beausoleil, attempt to recruit Simi, a young woman, into the family. They convince her to take LSD before the entire family gang rapes her at Charlie's command. The group begin breaking into random homes in Los Angeles, stealing items and rearranging furniture while the occupants sleep. Later, during a dispute over a drug transaction, Charlie shoots and kills Lotsapoppa, an African American drug dealer whom he suspects is part of the Black Panthers.

The whole family engage in a mass ritualistic orgy in which they sacrifice a puppy. After, Tex informs follower Patricia Krenwinkel and several others that he is afraid of Charlie and wants to leave. Meanwhile, Bobby and Susan Atkins confront an acquaintance, music teacher Gary Hinman, at his home, planning to raid his house of money, as they believe him to be wealthy. When the plan goes unsuccessfully, Gary is held hostage for two days before Charlie arrives and slices his ear off. After Charlie leaves, Susan attempts to nurse Gary back to health, but she and Bobby find themselves unsure how to carry out the robbery, as Gary does not have money. As a last resort, Bobby stabs him in the chest, after which he and Susan smother him with a cushion. Susan writes the phrase "political piggy" on the wall in Gary's blood before they depart. Bobby is arrested days later while trying to flee town.

Under Charlie's instruction, Tex, Susan, and Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian depart on the evening of August 8 to break into houses in Los Angeles, and are told to "bring knives." They arrive at a home on Cielo Drive, where Tex shoots Steven Parent, a man sitting in his parked car, near the gate. They enter the home and bind its residents, including Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, and Voytek Frykowski. Tex shoots Jay before stabbing him to death. Tex shoots Voytek as he tries to flee before bludgeoning him with the pistol while the sheepish Linda watches in horror. Susan proceeds to attack Abigail in the kitchen, stabbing her before Tex slashes her throat. Abigail, clinging to life, stumbles outside before collapsing in the lawn. Meanwhile, the pregnant Sharon is brutally stabbed to death in the living room.

The next night, the four members, in addition to Leslie Van Houten and Steve Grogan, viciously murder Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in their home. Two weeks later, several members murder Donald Shea at Charlie's instruction, as he fears Donald knows too much and could provide authorities information in the Tate-LaBianca murders. Later, the family members, including Charlie, are arrested and indicted on the murders. From jail, Manson accrues a cult following of young people who speak out in his support to the media. Whilst watching a segment of the docuseries one night, Wilson is murdered by a group of youths in a style likely inspired by the Manson Family.

Production
Despite support from various people, including members of the band Skinny Puppy, who provided a musical score (in the form of Download's Charlie's Family album), the film remained incomplete. A rough cut version screened at a number of festivals during 1997, including at the Fantasia Film Festival in July of that year.

Classification
Despite not being banned in any country in the world, it is classified harshly in almost all countries of the world due to its graphic violence and sexuality.

Release
The film was released in a now out-of-print combination Blu-ray and DVD set in 2003 by Severin Films.

Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 69% based on reviews from 32 critics. On Metacritic, the film has a score of 56 out of 100 based on reviews from 17 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications.

Finally responded to the "reference is not a verb" thingy, if you want to see it. ~NJ

Wedding as situation
Just a minor point of pedantry: whether in the interrogative or relative mood, it's perfectly acceptable to use the adverb "where" in reference to a situation, such as a wedding, funeral or stay in hospital; it does not merely apply to fixed locations. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 09:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know it's acceptable, but WP allows for considerations of style and preference. While "where" is grammatically permissible, it is stylistically odd. No criticism was meant by the edit; I even complimented the previous one. Peeper 11:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't take it as a criticism. I'm merely pointing out that one is no more preferable to the other — either grammatically or stylistically (your contention that it is "odd" is not backed up by modern usage, stretching back over more than one century). --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 11:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, OK. I'm not sure what the point of your comment is. We're all here to improve Wikipedia in style as well as content, and my edit was a very insignificant contribution. If there is a problem, change it back. It's hardly worth the effort. Peeper 17:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
