Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Doodlebug (rail car), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Galloping Goose (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Craggy Mountain Line moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Craggy Mountain Line, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Singularity42 (talk) 19:16, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Craggy Mountain Line has been accepted
 Craggy Mountain Line, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the  [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:AfC_talk/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Craggy_Mountain_Line help desk] .

Thanks for your addition to Downtown Portland. I did not immediately find that I-405 even had a link.

You seem proud to live in this cities' metropolitan area! And well knowledgable. Haha, sorry... Forgot. Alphalife 19:57, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm quite fond of Portland, yes. Between the city, the mountain, the gorge, and the coast I couldn't see myself living anywhere else.

 * By the way, don't forget to attach your signature to comments in talk pages. --Mattmcc 22:58, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Film vs. Movie
It's not pointless. The article itself implies what my comment said explicitly. It's elitist snobbery. It caught my attention when I saw these various articles being methodically changed from "____ (19xx movie)" to "____ (19xx film)" by people who apparently have too much time on their hands and regard "Movie" as the vernacular of The Great Unwashed. Wahkeenah 05:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The only way the article implies it is if you consider academics and elitists (or snobs) to be synonymous. I'd say the article explains why film is preferred quite simply: movie is a colloquialism.  If that isn't sufficient, the rationale behind the choice of film for the article name rather than movie has already been hashed out in the article's talk page archive. --Mattmcc 17:42, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You've made precisely my point. It's the "vernacular of the peasantry", and is therefore unworthy. If you've ever seen "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and would call that piece of trash a "film", you should win an award of some kind. Wahkeenah 23:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not a question of worthiness, but simply formality. This is, after all, an encyclopedia.  As such, formal terminology is preferred.  In any case, the comment I removed wasn't NPOV.  So even if it did have a point, a Wikipedia article isn't the place to make it. --Mattmcc 02:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's snobbery. This is not new. Decades ago the point was made by sarcastic sorts that Ingmar Bergman's pictures were to be called "films", not "movies". Wahkeenah 02:58, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Adamdrew3 s.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Adamdrew3 s.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 17:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Adamdrew3 s.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Adamdrew3 s.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 17:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Animaniacs!

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

The result of the debate was keep at a new title, redirect this title to Animaniacs (by my count: 5k, 1d, 6r). Scimitar parley 17:44, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Animaniacs!
Transferred here from Speedy. Content value is questioned - a plot summary of individual cartoon episode. Title is clearly inappropriate - this actually refers to the cartoon series Tiny Toons. Manning 04:07, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

This debate should also dictate the fate of Bad_Stitch and Kixx. The latter have been removed from Speedy but should share the fate of this article. Manning 04:16, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

This article is not about the TV show Animaniacs Gazpacho
 * Gazpacho - correct: this refers to the show "Tiny Toons", not Animaniacs!. Manning 04:34, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as non-notable, but redirect to Animaniacs. Gazpacho 04:29, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Gazpacho - do you mean redirect to Tiny Toons? Manning 04:34, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with Gazpacho, redirect to Animaniacs. If somebody types in "Animaniacs!" they are looking for Animaniacs, not Tiny Toon Adventures. --Metropolitan90 04:46, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * My meaning was that this article has nothing to do with Animaniacs!. As I stated in the heading above, the title is also clearly inappropriate. Cheers Manning 05:39, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep but rename it so that the title is actually accurate. There are plenty of individual episode articles and I don't see any reason to treat this any differently. But it definitely needs retitling. 23skidoo 05:14, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename. Causes way too much confusion with the much better and later WB series Animaniacs, which I thought that this VFD was about initially. Have "Animaniacs!" redirect to the page where I can read about Yakko, Wakko, and Dot! And those are the facts! FunkyChicken! 06:15, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Animaniacs per Metropolitan90. Dcarrano 16:03, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename as per 23skidoo. Meelar (talk) 16:22, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Animaniacs per Metropolitan90. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) 00:17, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Animaniacs. JamesBurns 04:05, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Looniversity Daze and delete. There is apparently a Tiny Toons episode called "Animaniacs!" but this article is not about it - it is about "Looniversity Daze", which already has an article. HollyAm 03:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC) Based onMetropolitan90's comment below, I'm changing my vote to Keep, but would also support a rename to something like Animaniacs! (Tiny Toons episode) to avoid confusion with the Animaniacs series, and/or a disambiguation statement at the top. HollyAm 06:42, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll be darned ... the article under VFD is actually a description of the Tiny Toon Adventures episode titled "Animaniacs!", not the episode titled "Looniversity Daze" which the first paragraph of the article references. See the Big Cartoon Database.  No vote. --Metropolitan90 03:46, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Move or Merge - why is this on VfD? This would have been easily fixed without having to resort to voting for deletion. -Acjelen 03:27, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page..

AD Police Files

AD Police Files is a 1990 three-part original video animation produced by Youmex and animated by Artmic and AIC. Set in 2027, it is a prequel to the Bubblegum Crisis OVA series, focusing mainly on AD Police officer Leon McNichol, the future rival and love interest of Knight Saber Priscilla Asagiri.

Due to the legal conflict between Artmic and Youmex, the production of the series was stopped with only three complete episodes made.

Plot
Chronologically set 5 years before the events of Bubblegum Crisis, it focuses on AD Police (Advanced Police) inspector Leon McNichol's early days in the AD Police.

Additional voices
Japanese:  Hideyuki Umezu, Hitoshi Horimoto, Kiyonobu Suzuki, Morite Murakuni, Rena Yukie (as Rena Kurihara), Satoko Yasunaga, Shin'ichirou Miki, Toshiya Ueda, Toshiyuki Morikawa, Wataru Takagi

English (AnimEigo): Amanda Tancredi, Amy Parrish, Charles Page, Christopher Alexander, David Kraus, Eddie Harrell, Eric Paisley, Matt Blazon, Michael Sinterniklaas, Rod Barker, Scott O'Quinn, Scott Simpson, Vincent Schilling

Release
In North America, the series is licensed by AnimEigo, who first released the series to VHS and Laserdisc in 1993 in Japanese with English subtitles. They later reissued it in both formats in 1995 with an English dub produced by Southwynde Studios in Wilmington, NC. The show was released to bilingual DVD in 2004, with bonus content featuring music videos for various songs featured in the series as performed by Filipino singer Lou Bonnevie in addition to translation notes and production artwork. On September 27, 2015, AnimEigo announced that they will be funding a brand new HD telecine of the series from the original 35mm film in-house through Kickstarter, with a Blu-ray release planned for 2016. Though according to an update by AnimEigo on 30 December 2022, it had been reported that the film materials to A.D. Police Files had been lost.

In the UK, the series was licensed by Manga Entertainment, who produced their own English dub for VHS in 1994, and later issued it onto dub-only DVD in 2004. Their release is now out-of-print.

Reception
Critical reception of A.D. Police Files has been generally positive. Helen McCarthy in 500 Essential Anime Movies describes The Phantom Woman as the video "definitely not for the faint hearted", noting that the "design is good and the atmosphere well maintained, but it's Aikawa's script that will stick in your mind". She also praised The Man Who Bites His Tongue as a "stylish, dark retelling of RoboCop".

Justin Sevakis of Anime News Network described A.D. Police Files as being "a flawed work, but has enough memorable moments and beautiful, macabre touches to redeem it in some way."

Raphael See of THEM Anime Reviews gave the series a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, praising the story and soundtrack but considered the animation to be "average." Overall, See states that "If you're a BGC junkie, you'll definitely enjoy this one. Other people might want to save this one until they run out of other things to watch."

Manga

A.D. Police: Dead End City (A.D.POLICE 終焉都市), a seinen manga series written by Toshimichi Suzuki and illustrated by Tony Takezaki, is set between the first and the second part of A.D. Police Files. It was serialized by Byakuya Shobo on its seinen magazine Bandai B-Club between November 1989 and August 1990. Its chapters were compiled into a single volume that was later translated into English by Viz Communications for the United States and by Manga Books for the British audience and in French by Samourai.

The manga is set in 2032. The A.D. Police are an elite group of highly trained and specially equipped police officers, who have been formed to deal with terrorist activities and Boomer crimes in the city of Mega Tokyo.

The A.D. Police are offered a great deal of leeway in their activities, often blockading large sections of the city and causing great amounts of property damage in the course of fulfilling their duty. Despite their dedication to their jobs, however, the citizens of Mega Tokyo tend to dislike and distrust members of the A.D. Police, seeing them as corrupt and ineffectual.

Related series
In 1999, AIC created a reboot of A.D. Police Files called A.D. Police: To Protect and Serve that was broadcast by TV Tokyo. Unlike A.D. Police Files, it is set in universe of the reboot series Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, and serves as a prequel to the aforementioned series.

Another OVA series revolving around the A.D. Police, Parasite Dolls, was released in 2003 by AIC. Like A.D.

Maro Ajemian

Maro Ajemian (July 9, 1921 – September 18, 1978) was an American pianist. Ajemian's career in contemporary music grew from her Armenian heritage. She became known as a contemporary pianist after performing the U.S. premiere of Aram Khachaturian's Piano Concerto, which she chose to play based on their shared Armenian heritage.

Ajemian studied at the Juilliard School of Music. On March 14, 1942, she gave the American premiere of Aram Khachaturian's Piano Concerto in D flat with the Juilliard Graduate Orchestra under Albert Stoessel. She later performed the piece on a cross-country tour. Following her performances of the Piano Concerto, Ajemian began meeting contemporary composers and, together with her sister, the violinist Anahid Ajemian, she became known as a champion of new music, presenting the premieres of many new works by American composers. Among these were John Cage, Alan Hovhaness, Henry Cowell, Ernst Krenek, Lou Harrison, and Gunther Schuller. Cage dedicated his Sonatas and Interludes to her and she made the first recording of them for Dial Records in 1951.

Ajemian was particularly fond of the music of Hovhaness, a fellow Armenian American, and co-founded a New York City-based organization, the Friends of Armenian Music Committee, which promoted his music during the 1940s, presenting annual concerts in such high-profile venues as Town Hall. These concerts were well reviewed by such critics as Lou Harrison, Virgil Thomson, and Olin Downes, and served to launch Hovhaness into the national spotlight.

She died of heart valve failure at the age of 57.

Long Path

The Long Path is a 357 mi long-distance hiking trail beginning in New York City, at the West 175th Street subway station near the George Washington Bridge and ending at Altamont, New York, in the Albany area. While not yet a continuous trail, relying on road walks in some areas, it nevertheless takes in many of the popular hiking attractions west of the Hudson River, such as the New Jersey Palisades, Harriman State Park, the Shawangunk Ridge and the Catskill Mountains. It offers hikers a diversity of environments to pass through, from suburbia and sea-level salt marshes along the Hudson to wilderness and boreal forest on Catskill summits 4000 ft in elevation.

When conceived in the 1930s, it was to be the antithesis of a hiking trail, with neither a designated route nor blazes, simply a list of points of interest hikers could find their own routes to. However, increasing development after World War II in Orange and Rockland counties made that less workable, and it was revived in the 1960s as a standard trail. Work to extend the trail into the Adirondacks is currently underway.

Conception
Vincent Joseph Schaefer, a scientist who worked in Schenectady for General Electric, began to imagine a "hiker's route" from New York City to the Adirondacks shortly after helping to found the Mohawk Valley Hiking Club in 1929. He was very clear on one thing: that it not be marked as a trail.

"Schaefer envisioned resourceful hikers making use of what they found along the way," say historians Guy and Laura Waterman — whether hikers' trails, back roads, abandoned wood roads, tow paths, creek beds, game trails, plus occasional bushwhacks where that appeared to offer the most interesting route." They quote him describing the Long Path as:

...[A] route that a person having good "woods" sense could use to move across a region using compass and "topo" map, and that in a meandering way would lead such persons to most of the interesting scenic vistas, rock formations, choice or unique vegetation, historical sites and similar items that a certain type of outdoors person enjoys. He wrote to an official at Harriman that: There would be no cutting or blazing, for this trail would be a truly wild walk that wouldn't erode the land or scar the solitude ... and each found site would be an adventure in orienteering.

Implementation
He named his idea the Long Path after Walt Whitman's line about "the long brown path that leads wherever I choose" from his poem "Song of the Open Road". Since that was also where Raymond H. Torrey, the New York Post influential hiking columnist, had gotten the name for his column, it was a smart public relations choice. Torrey, who had done much to get the Appalachian Trail built, both physically and in print, in the New York metropolitan area the previous decade, announced the idea in a column in 1933. Another strong advocate in the early days was a transplanted Coloradan, W. W. Cady, who came to be identified with the Long Path almost as much as Schaefer.

He and Torrey, who devoted a series of columns to it the next year, scouted a "trail" from the city to the Catskills, while Schaefer and his brother did the same for the northern half. Several alternative endpoints were envisioned: the "History" chapter of the Guide to the Long Path places the end at Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondack High Peaks, but Torrey's column of August 21, 1934 places the terminus at the Adirondak Loj at Lake Clear of Heart (now called Heart Lake). The column further discusses possible extensions: a route over Wallface Mountain to join the Northville-Placid Trail by way of Henderson Lake and the Preston Ponds; a climb over Mount Van Hoevenberg and traverse of the Sentinel Range Wilderness Area to emerge at Jay, New York; and possible routes to the Canadian border, either to the Thousand Islands to the west or along the Chateaugay River to the north. Curiously, Schaefer's account in Torrey's column never mentions Whiteface as a possible ending point.

To Schaefer, once this route was scouted, it was finished, per his concept ... "(it) exist(s) as soon as the route had been field explored and then marked on a topo map, and so had become available to the person who appreciates such things." However, very few of these people could be counted among the hiking community of the day, to whom a trail was something to follow, and they had difficulty grasping the concept that the trail was open. Schaefer and hiking club pal Al Getz followed the Long Path from Schenectady to Edward's Hill in the southern Adirondacks, near Bakers Mills, New York, in the late 1930s, but as Schaefer and Cady became involved in the war effort and drifted away from the hiking community, the idea of the Long Path as originally conceived quickly became part of history.

Resurrection
In 1960, Robert Jessen of the Ramapo Ramblers hiking club, and another city-based hiker, Michael Warren, revived the idea. Since Rockland and Orange counties had become more developed even then, they abandoned the original concept of an unmarked route and pushed instead a conventional trail, although it had to make use of road routes. Over the next two decades they were successful in establishing a continuous trail from the George Washington Bridge to the southern Catskills, helped by a major relocation of the trail up Peekamoose Mountain and its continuation over Peekamoose's neighbor, Table Mountain (which previously had no established trails), crossing the east branch of the Neversink River and enabling a link with the existing Catskill trail system.

The Catskill route was finally completed in 1987 when a trail was built connecting the snowmobile loop around Kaaterskill High Peak to Palenville. A further missing link, from the Sam's Point Preserve in the Shawangunks to VerKeerderkill Falls, was cut a decade later.

In 1991, Vince Schaefer prepared a guide to the Long Path north (LPN) section, consisting of a set of five sets of short descriptions of 80+ "Landmarks" with accompanying topographic map locations. The guide was crafted as a hiker's pocket-sized book, entitled Field Guide to the Landmarks of the Long Path of New York: Northern Section -- Gilboa to Whiteface Mt., prepared by Vincent J Schaefer 1931-1991 with the original route and philosophy.

Schaefer's son, James M. Schaefer, joined the Long Path North Hiking Club Trail Committee, sharing sets of letters, sketches and plans from his father's files to push the Long Path into the 21st century. With members of the club, a route was set, landmarks were located by Global Positioning System, and digital photos were established for 80-plus places that Schaefer reckoned to be worthy of attention.

On the ground, a low-volume road walk was located through Albany, Schenectady and Saratoga counties, crossing the Helderbergs and the Rotterdam Hills to the Mohawk River. The LPN connected to county and state parks whenever possible and had a goal of relocating sections "off-road". Across the Mohawk the Long Path coursed into the Glenville Hills, with a major off-road section atop Wolf Hollow.

As it reached the (southern) Adirondack Blue Line, just north of Lake Desolation, the Long Path took on a "Forever-Wild" character, becoming a bushwhack, a landmark-to-landmark trek through the southern and central park into the High Peaks, following log roads, existing trails, and low volume roads to eventually reach the top of Whiteface Mountain, with its climate observation tower — SUNY's "Schaefer Observatory" of 1980 Olympic fame — as the last cached location of the Long Path.

In summary, the Long Path has become a hybrid trail. A 70-year-old first — an ecologically sensitive "path" from high density urban centers, across the spectacular Eastern New York high country, to the remote, serene, and untampered wilderness. The blazed 357 mi of the LP are tailor-made for the traditional blazed-trail hiker, the 100 mi low-volume road-walk affords the physically challenged with a way to appreciate semi-wild places accompanied by culturally, geologically and historic way-side landmarks. And for the woods savvy hiker, the bushwhacks through the last 150 mi of the Long Path capture Vince Schaefer's original vision — a tramp across short distances using 'dead-reckoning, modern point-to-point "geocaching" and sheer map reading, orienteering skills'. 75 years after the thought, a "Long Brown Path" exists.

Expansion
As the lower trail neared completion to the northern boundary of Catskill Park at Route 23 in Windham in 1985, H. Neil Zimmerman of the New York–New Jersey Trail Conference renewed interest in the Adirondack connection. The Long Path North Hiking Club was formed, and after some negotiations with area landowners 8 mi of trail were opened in 1990. By the middle of the decade, it would extend 75 mi north of its former terminus, to the Indian Ladder in John Boyd Thacher State Park. In the early 2000s, a further 5 mi were opened and blazed to Route 146, and informal road blazes existed from there to the Mohawk and the Adirondack Park Blue Line.

Today
Perhaps reflecting its origins as a trail that wasn't really a trail, the Long Path in the early 21st century is a work in progress, continually evolving even in those places where it has long been a presence. Relocations continue to be made and new sections opened.

The central Catskills have seen the greatest activity. In 1999, trail crews completed work on a section starting at the Willow Trail near the summit of Mount Tremper near Phoenicia, descending down into the neighboring valley and then over "Edgewood Mountain" into Silver Hollow Notch, where it follows an old road down to Route 214. This section eliminated a lengthy road walk to Willow, albeit at the price of a 2 mi road walk into Stony Clove Notch. However, this added Plateau Mountain to the trail route, and pending future approval from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and an amendment to the Unit Management Plan for the Indian Head Wilderness Area, a new section will be built to follow a ridge from Silver Hollow Notch to the Devil's Path on Plateau and eliminate that road walk.

Not long afterwards, the state purchased the former Lundy estate in the vicinity of Kerhonkson, 4930 acre straddling the Catskill Park Blue Line near the southern tip of the park. The new property, once occupied by an owner of Lundy's Restaurant, is to become a state forest outside the park and a new Wild Forest within it. It will also allow for the relocation of the Long Path off roads to follow the Vernooy Kill. The relocation would rejoin the present Long Path route at Vernooy Falls west of Riggsville in the Ulster County township of Rochester.

In late 2001, the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development allowed the construction of a new trail across its Platte Clove Preserve. It was added to the Long Path, and allowed for a rerouting of the route along existing trails to take in Indian Head Mountain and its views of the Hudson Valley, as well as eliminating a road walk that previously existed.

In 2007 the road walk on Route 214 was eliminated. Volunteers extended the Warner Creek Trail with a direct connection between Silver hollow Notch and Plateau Mountain. This created a 23 mi section of trail between Phoenicia and Platte Clove without any road crossings.

To the south of Phoenicia, from the Burroughs Range Trail near Wittenberg Mountain, a new section of trail has been constructed for the Long Path. This route crosses Cross Mountain, Mount Pleasant and Romer Mountain. It comes out on Lane Street in Phoenicia. This section opened on Trails Day June 7, 2014. This has eliminated the more than 5 mi road walk out of Woodland Valley State Campground.

All these changes have combined or will to make the 94 mi of Long Path in the Catskill Park almost entirely off-road.

In the Shawangunks, new agreements with landowners and/or changes in ownership have also made eliminations of road walks possible.

Further south, in heavily suburbanized Rockland County, where some road walks are now mostly unavoidable, the county's Planning Board has made the Long Path route an area of special attention and one of its spines for open space preservation efforts, trying to convince its local counterparts to protect the corridor.

North of the Catskills, the Long Path North Committee continues its efforts to bypass road walks and route the trail into more wooded areas, particularly the small state forests in Schoharie County. The main problem the trail faces there, ironically, is under-use. Some sections just north of the Catskill Park are getting overgrown and only the blazes remain to indicate the trail. Increasing public awareness of the trail and promoting use of various sections continues to be a concern.

Lastly, in 2015 the southern end of the trail was moved to New York City, to the 175th Street subway station in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan.

The Orange County problem
From the earliest days of the Long Path one of the most difficult issues has been how to get the trail across northern Orange County as a footpath. Between Schunemunk Mountain and the Shawangunks lies the broad valley of the Wallkill River and the many lowlands within, then heavily farmed and now heavily developed.

Major progress has been made in Orange County. In 2012 almost half of the 35 mi of road walking in Orange County were eliminated by relocating the Long Path onto the Heritage Trail, an Orange County rail-trail. Leaving the rail trail in New Hampton, the trail follows rural roads to the Shawangunk Ridge in Greenville. The online guide suggests that it might be a pleasant route for bicycling.

There is hope for moving more of the trail off the roads of western Orange County. South of I-84 still needs to be explored as farms, town parks, conservation easements and even an abandoned rail bed are all possibly available. North of I-84 also needs to be explored as it contains farms, conservation easements and watershed land for both Orange County and the city of Middletown.

The Shawangunk Ridge Trail
One way of solving the Orange County problem, avoiding it entirely, came out the joint efforts of the New York - New Jersey Trail Conference and the National Park Service. In 1989, they conducted a feasibility study on the idea of abandoning northern Orange County altogether and simply having the trail follow the Appalachian Trail from the junction in Harriman to High Point State Park in northwestern New Jersey, where a new trail would then be constructed to link up with the current LP along the ridge near Wurtsboro. The result was the Shawangunk Ridge Trail, a 71 mi connector which drew on a possible AT relocation that had first been considered in 1965, before the National Scenic Trails Act made it possible to protect the existing route.

The SRT starts at the Appalachian Trail in High Point State Park in New Jersey. The Long Path meets up with the SRT after 11.25 mi, and the two trails run together for the next 34 mi. At times it hugs the base of the ridge in some areas due to land-access issues, and has some road walks, but these are slowly being eliminated. The low-lying route in Sullivan County actually is something of a blessing, as it allows hikers to take in the magnificent Basha Kill Wildlife Management Area.

The AT-SRT detour is the route currently recommended by the Trail Conference for anyone considering a thru-hike of the LP, due to its better capacity for camping and fewer road walks, despite the additional 22 mi it adds to the trip. However, if doing the Long Path as individual day hikes, it is best to remain on the main trail. Taking the AT one misses the entire north end of Harriman State Park, Schunemunk Mountain and the Heritage Trail.

Management
The Long Path is under the purview of the Trail Conference, which divides it geographically into three sections:

 * The Long Path South Committee for the areas south of the Catskills
 * the existing Catskill Trails Committee for the Catskills
 * and The Long Path North Committee.

As the areas under the jurisdiction of the latter are somewhat beyond the Trail Conference's usual reach in the Greater New York area, the Long Path North Committee functions somewhat independently. In the future, when the trail begins to extend into the Adirondacks, it is likely that the Adirondack Mountain Club or some other group based in the region will have management responsibilities for those sections.

Marking
Throughout most of its length, whether on or off the road, the Long Path is indicated by a 2 by aqua blaze. In some areas where blazes have not been repainted in some time, older light blue blazes may be found, but the distinctive aqua (sometimes referred to, incorrectly, in some guidebooks as teal) indicates the Long Path, and only the Long Path.

In the Catskills and the state forests on the Shawangunk Ridge, the trail uses official NYSDEC markers — blue in the Shawangunks, and whatever color is used for the particular trail in the Catskills the LP follows. Markers with the Long Path logo (see above), either in aqua or blue (if older), can sometimes be found on signage at junctions where the LP changes trails.

The mile-long trail through the Catskill Center's Platte Clove Preserve follows green diamond-shaped metal markers with the Center's logo on it.

Finally, the section in Thacher State Park follows aqua plastic markers with the LP logo.

The Shawangunk Ridge Trail uses either the aqua blazes or blue NYSDEC markers, depending on whether it is on public or private land.

End-to-end
When it began to be established as a marked trail, the Long Path was not built with an eye toward being "thru-hiked" in one continuous trip, as it was more a backbone for creating hiking opportunities in areas which did not yet have them and thus ideal for day trips or short overnights. The Trail Conference did give out rockers for those who completed a tally sheet of trips made on different dates. The trail, even with the AT/Shawangunk Ridge detour available, was difficult for those from out of the region who would need access to maildrops and places to sleep in the areas where camping is not permitted.

After several dozen hikers had earned these, it was perhaps inevitable that someone would be the Earl Shaffer of the Long Path, and on May 30, 1998, Mary Ann Nissley of Chalfont, Pennsylvania, a woman with experience hiking many long-distance trails, completed the first Long Path thru-hike in 25 days. Several others have followed since. The current Long Path guidebook now has information on nearby post offices, motels and other things useful for those contemplating a thru-hike.

On May 24, 2005, trail runner David O'Neill, the founder of Charity Runners Inc., finished the first thru-run of the Long Path, as a benefit for the Trail Conference. He had started on the first of the month; his time of 24 days is the current record for fastest journey up the Long Path. (This included five days where he rested and allowed injuries to heal, and one day he did as a normal hike.)

On May 13, 2006, O'Neill repeated the benefit thru-run and became the first to complete a thru-run of the Long Path using the AT-SRT detour. He started on the first of the month and completed the 369 mi journey in 12 days, 5 hours, and 17 minutes.

In 2009, Jacob Aronson fulfilled Vincent Schaefer's original concept of hiking from the George Washington Bridge to Schaefer Observatory atop Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks. He arrived in Altamont, New York, on July 6 to complete his thru-hike of the Long Path in 27 days. Using a combination of road walks and the Northville-Placid Trail, he made his way from Altamont to Lake Placid, where he climbed nearby Whiteface Mountain on July 25, 46 days after he began hiking.

On July 26, 2013 Daniel J. Rosenthal of Sunderland, Vermont, became the first person to complete a southbound thru-hike on the trail.

On September 3, 2013, Kenneth Posner of New York City completed a through-run using the Long Path's 2012 re-route on the Schunemunk Ridge in Orange County, along the Orange Heritage Trail, and to the Shawangunk Ridge Trail in Greenville. His run was mostly self-supported (for the first 300 mi); he put food/supply caches at six points along the route, and slept on the ground (on a sleep mat) at places along the trailside. It took him nine days to complete the entire trail, the current record.

Fort Lee to Harriman State Park
Currently, from its new beginning just slightly south of the old one, the LP goes over the bridge approach and then a pedestrian bridge over a ramp from the bridge to the Palisades Interstate Parkway. After that, it enters the park along the cliff edges that it will remain in for the next 12.7 mi to the state line, running through the woods next to Palisades Parkway at times and even passing through some of its rest stops and parking areas.

Once past the stone monument at the state line, it briefly dips back into New Jersey, then moves closer to U.S. Route 9W near Columbia University's Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, then heading for Tallman Mountain State Park, where it climbs the eponymous feature, then descends to the trail's lowest elevation, a mere 5 ft above sea level as it crosses Sparkill Creek on a wooden bridge.

Climbing and crossing Route 9W again, it passes through the low hills in and near two county parks as it climbs up toward Blauvelt State Park, then drops into Nyack, where it crosses the New York State Thruway for the first time. After passing through Mountainview County Nature Park, it follows 9W for a mile or so, then leaves it for Hook Mountain State Park and its dramatic views over the Hudson's Haverstraw Bay. It then drops down to the small Haverstraw Beach State Park and follows a road out of it into High Tor State Park, where the bare summit of the tor, the highest peak of the Palisades at 832 ft, affords the best views of this section of the Hudson Valley.

After High Tor, it stays on the ridge of South Mountain County Park as it curves away from the river, toward a crossing of the Palisades Parkway, US 202 and NY 45 in Mount Ivy. Again, the trail follows along in the woods along the parkway's right of way until it can enter Cheesecote Town Park. After that, it's a short road walk that finally allows the trail to enter Harriman State Park.

Harriman to the Shawangunks
The trail meanders through this southern part of the park, briefly joining with the cross-park Suffern-Bear Mountain Trail, passing St.-John's-in-the-Wilderness Church, and finally reaching Seven Lakes Drive at Lake Skannatati. North of there, it briefly joins the Dunning Trail and wanders among the ruins of an abandoned iron mine and joins the Arden-Surebridge Trail at the junction colloquially called "Times Square". Leaving it to run alongside Dismal Swamp, it crosses the Appalachian Trail not long afterwards, then continues north towards the Lake Cohasset Shelter where camping is permitted. It then runs along the crest of Stockbridge Mountain, passing the Stockbridge and Stockbridge Cave Shelters, and afterwards works its way down to US 6 by way of a fire road. It follows an access road into a parking area, then climbs up Long Mountain to a memorial in honor of and at a favorite view of Raymond H. Torrey, who did much to make the trail possible. Then it heads westward, skirting at times the boundary of the United States Military Academy (West Point) property, crossing NY 293 and following it and later Route 6 closely in neighboring woods until it can finally leave Harriman Park behind and drop down to local roads in the Central Valley area, cross the Thruway again, then along Woodbury Creek on a dirt road to NY 32 and Schunemunk Mountain.

On Schunemunk, it ascends some subsidiary knobs with sweeping views of the whole area, and then follows the Jessup Trail southwest, where it passes commanding view across the Moodna and Wallkill valleys, and then drops off to Gonzaga Park, which bring it past the Orange and Rockland Lakes, then across Route 17 to the Heritage Trail. Following this rail trail, it passes many nice wetlands, the Black Dirt Farms in Chester, and through the historic village of Goshen. Leaving the rail trail it follows local back roads over the Wallkill River and into the town of Wawayanda. Crossing I-84 the road walk reaches Mountain Road in Greenville and ends at the Shawangunk Ridge. Cross the ridge on a recently preserved parcel joining the Shawangunk Ridge Trail.

Shawangunks and southern Catskills
The trail stays on the west side of the ridgeline, following an abandoned rail bed that once crossed the mountain. Leaving the rail bed at Route 211, the trail passes through a state forest parcel and crosses into Sullivan County where it passes through the Bashakill Wildlife Management Area. The trail reaches the village of Wurtsboro, then climbs back up to the ridgecrest and mostly follows it, as it works its way into Ulster County. The trail briefly follows an old dirt turnpike which runs parallel to and below NY 52 as it descends toward South Gully, then climbs up to Sam's Point through the South Gully, following South Gully Brook at times.

After following some of the old dirt roads from the days when the nearby ice caves were a tourist attraction, the trail follows a path through the dwarf pine forest to VerKeerderkill Falls. This section has been identified as their favorite by many who have hiked much or all of the Long Path, as the shortness of the trees gives a feeling of being above tree line and allows for constant views of the ridge ahead and behind, the Mid-Hudson valley to one side and the Catskills to the other. The falls themselves are a unique sight. After the falls the trail crosses High Point and Smiley Carriageway, then descends through Mine Hole to Berme Road.

After crossing Berme Road, the trail follows the D & H Canal towpath, to the hamlet of Port Ben. It then crosses Rondout Creek and US 209, following little-traveled local roads from there to the Catskill Park Blue Line. Shortly after entering the Catskills, it reaches the Vernooy Kill Falls, another popular day trip. It then climbs over Bangle Hill in the Sundown Wild Forest and descends steeply to an undeveloped state campground at Bull Run. A reroute through the Vernooy Kill State Forest, originally planned to open in 2016, will significantly reduce the road walk through this area. As of February 2020, the new route has not yet been completed.

One of the most challenging sections of the Long Path is ahead as it meets its first two Catskill High Peaks, climbing more than 2600 ft in 4 mi to the summit of Peekamoose Mountain, then cresting neighboring Table Mountain after a brief dip. From there it drops down to cross the East Branch of the Neversink River and then back up again slightly to a junction with the Phoenicia-East Branch Trail and the east end of the Finger Lakes Trail. It follows the Phoenicia-East Branch Trail up to a col to the east of Wildcat Mountain, then up the beautiful Curtis-Ormsbee Trail to the summit ridge of Slide Mountain, where the Burroughs Range Trail takes it a short distance to the highest peak in the Catskills and the highest point on the LP, approximately 4180 ft above sea level.

It makes a rough descent over Cornell and Wittenberg mountains down to Cross Mountain, crosses the ridge-line of Cross Mountain, then passes just below the summit of Mount Pleasant and across Romer Mountain, then follows the road out to Phoenicia.

Central and northern Catskills
Crossing NY 28 and going through Phoenicia, an oasis of civilization amid the mountains, the Long Path follows a road east out of town to the trailhead for Mount Tremper, where it follows the old road up to the fire tower, which offers splendid views of the entire region. Continuing on down to Warners Creek and then up Edgewood Mountain, where views north have been cut, it drops down again via Silver Hollow Notch to ascend Daley Ridge, joining the Devil's Path, perhaps the most challenging and rewarding trail in the Catskills, west of the summit of Plateau. It follows the Devil's Path across Plateau, Sugarloaf, Twin and Indian Head mountains down to the Platte Clove Preserve, then makes a brief road walk to the Kaaterskill High Peak snowmobile trail. On the north side of that peak, the Long Path descends more than 2000 ft via a zigzag route past several waterfalls to Palenville, crosses NY 23A, then goes back up the other side of Kaaterskill Clove via the Old Overlook Road to the Escarpment Trail, the site of the legendary Catskill Mountain House, North–South Lake State Campground, and finally up to North Mountain with its inspiring views back over the Escarpment and the lakes.

Eventually the trail tops out on 3420 ft Stoppel Point near an old wrecked plane, then drops down into Dutcher Notch and then back up to a ridge culminating in a steep ascent up Blackhead Mountain and its 3940 ft summit, then down again to Acra Point, Burnt Knob and finally Windham High Peak, the northernmost of the Catskill High Peaks. Descending leisurely to NY 23, it leaves the Catskill Park but not the Catskills, as it immediately goes over several ranges of 3000 ft peaks to Ashland Pinnacle. A side trail, a former route of the Long Path, continues to Huntersfield Mountain, where NYSDEC has cut some views near the summit.

The Long Path North
From Ashland Pinnacle, the trail makes its way via a combination of roads, woodlots and field edges to Schoharie Reservoir, crosses the Schoharie Creek and enters the county of the same name. First stop is Mine Kill State Park and its waterfall, then the trail crosses through the woods to Lansing Manor at the Blenheim-Gilboa Power Project. continues via Burnt-Rossman Hills, Mallet Pond and Patria state forests on the other side, then up NY 30 to Vroman's Nose, a popular local hike.

Afterwards, it recrosses the Schoharie into the village of Middleburgh and follows NY 145 briefly to climb the Middleburgh cliffs, then makes its way across Cotton Hill and Dutch Settlement state forests to Albany County, where it takes in the Partridge Run Wildlife Management Area, Cole Hill State Forest, and the Helderberg Escarpment, which it follows north through John Boyd Thacher State Park, with its Indian Ladder. Currently Thacher State Park is the end of the trail for end-to-enders, but a partially off-road route has been blazed across the Mohawk River at Lock 9 park to the Saratoga County line, and from there a road walk is described to the Northville-Placid Trail within the Adirondack Park.

Talk:Fruit of the Holy Spirit (July 2005)

Nice try, but this article is severely flawed from the start, and I'm inclined to nominate it for Votes for Deletion.

The problem most easily solved is that it fails to reference the passage from Galatians 5 that enumerates these fruit, discuss it in context, etc.

The more serious problem is that the rest of it is seriously POV. It is opinion and interpretation that is not attributed to any author, general religious sect or movement, or denomination. Lest someone protest that it's just the plain obvious truth that "every Christian" knows, let me suggest that:
 * the way to grow in the fruits is not through increased intellectual understanding. This was part of the main debate between Gregory Palamas and Barlaam of Calabria in the 1300s, and the Hesychast Councils ruled in favor of Palamas.
 * Salvation is a process, not a one time instantaneous event. This is the general teaching of the Eastern Orthodox Church at the very least, whereas protestant evangelicals tend to talk about it more as a one time event.

I don't see how this can be NPOV'd, or even fleshed out to be more than a stub. It doesn't look like a topic that really needs an encyclopedia article. Any thoughts or reasons not to delete this? Wesley 04:05, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Merge?
On my talk page, MikeJ9919 broached the possibility of merging this article with Holy Spirit. That makes a great deal of sense to me; maybe even make it a subsection there? Any other thoughts?
 * Merged to Holy Spirit as a subsection, as I saw no objection here. Did some more severe NPOVing in the process.--MikeJ9919 21:56, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Northern Mongoloid

Are Turkic Mongoloids also considered Northern Mongoloids? john k 04:05, 22 July 2005 (UTC) I believe so. (but not all Turkic speakers are Mongoloid) --JWB 04:48, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Makes sense - perhaps this should be indicated. What about the Uralic peoples?  I know Finns, Estonians, and Hungarians are basically White/Caucasian/West Eurasian.  But what about all those little groups in Siberia, and the Lapps (or whatever the PC term is), and so forth? john k 05:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * On the Caucasoid-Mongoloid axis, they are at different intermediate points. If you look at specific genetic markers, there are some that reflect the Caucasoid-Mongoloid split, and others that reflect other patterns, for example markers that are specific only to this area and decrease outside of it.--JWB 06:23, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * As far as I have read... the Turks, originally from (basically) western Mongolia, moved through Central Asia, and conquered territory including modern day Turkey; before this there were Indo-European languages being spoken there, together called Anatolian, and presumably the people there were closer to "European". The Turks then gave their language and some genetic input to the modern Turkish nation.

RE: the picture
Blue eyes are NOT a typical trait of northern mongoloids, rather, a somewhat common trait of northern mongoloids with caucasoid admixture.

Use of the word American
Your comment on the article Use of the word American appeared in the article, instead of the talk page. I went ahead and moved it. -Acjelen 20:27, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. My mistake.LtDoc 22:53, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk page etiquette
Good evening. I was trying to follow the discussion on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style archive ("U.S." or "American"). While I think you might have some interesting points, I have to tell you that when you interweave your comments among the comments of others, it becomes impossibly hard for anyone else to follow the conversation. It disrupts the logical flow of the other person's argument and it destroys the attribution (since you've broken the connection between the comment and the signature). If you feel you must rebut someone's comment point-for-point, the normal protocol is to start below the last comment in that thread, summarize their points and interweave your comments into the summary, leaving the original comments intact.

As a courtesy, I tried to do that with your most recent comments but I finally had to delete my attempt without saving it. I just couldn't be sure I was staying true to the spirit of your argument. Could I ask you to please return to the page and refactor your comments so the rest of us will be able to follow and participate in the discussion? Thanks. Rossami (talk) 23:31, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I knew it
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist a cheap shot about my BS tag. Thanks as always for elevating the level of the debate.

As for your intentions for the "argument," feel free. There is no argument, just you personally attacking anyone who disagrees with you (see above). I won't be visiting the page again. it's all yours. John FitzGerald 21:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry
I posted a long and confused entry here. I realize now it was confused because I posted it shortly after having a medical test for which I was given sedatives. It really wasn't helpful or representative of what I really think. One thing I did say in it which I believe, though, is that I thought we could pursue the issue less acrimoniously by dealing with one issue at a time. Which is what I've set out to do, as you see in the next post.

One thing I will clarify here, though – I wasn't bullshitting about maccarthysme not being offensive regardless of what the first syllable means in French. That's just a fact. There may be a cultural difference here. It reminded me of some of the problem's with baseball player's nicknames. Roberto Clemente used to be called Bob Clemente by sportswriters and announcers until they learned he objected to it because it was too close to bobo. To an English-speaking North American this is unheard of – people named Rick don't object because it's close to prick, for example.

Of course, people started calling him Roberto nevertheless, which raises the question of why we aren't equally accommodating about your request. I think an issue of reciprocity is involved in your request, though, which is the first point I raise back ar the other page. Mr. Clemente was a mensch and would have been as willing to accommodate other people. John FitzGerald 21:12, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Continuation of discussion
Okay – I decided to continue the debate by focussing on one issue at a time. My first question to you is posted. John FitzGerald

 * Seems to be working, eh?

Compact of Free Association POV claim
I have disagree with your claim that this line in the Compact of Free Association article: "The freely associated states are all dependent on U.S. financial assistance to meet both government operational and capital needs." is POV. Instead, this is a well known fact. In an article that was written after Compact II for RMI and FSM was approved, it was said:

"Compact II," which extends U.S. funding to the two Pacific countries for the next 20 years, provides about US$3.5 billion. The agreement, which also allows the U.S. to continue using Kwajalein Atoll as missile tracking site, is meant to gradually wean the Marshalls and the FSM off of U.S. support over the course of 20 years – a goal that some close observers have called wishful. (the emphasis is mine).

The quote proves that these islands are dependent on Compact cash.

Source: http://archives.pireport.org/archive/2003/December/12-18-01.htm

Here's another article: http://166.122.164.43/archive/1998/August/08-17-01.htm.

This article is an interview with the guy who knows his stuff about these Compacts. He calls them a failure because nothing was done in '86 to make sure FSM and RMI would be able to generate cash for themselves. In summary: Is this line POV? NO! - Thanks, Hoshie | 01:48, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Lorraine Broderick

Lorraine Broderick (born 1948) is an American television soap opera writer. She got her start on All My Children as a protégée of the show's creator, Agnes Nixon. She went on to serve four different stints as its Head Writer, ultimately earning her four Daytime Emmy awards in that capacity. Broderick's work on the show has often been met with critical acclaim, citing her as its finest head writer outside of Nixon. She was the last head writer of All My Children's 40-year broadcast run on ABC, penning the show through its network finale on September 23, 2011.

Biography
Broderick graduated from Andover High School in 1966 and Mt. Holyoke College in 1970. She then received her master's degree in Chinese Studies from Stanford University in 1972. She joined All My Children as scriptwriter and breakdown writer in 1979, under the guidance of then-head writer Agnes Nixon.

In 1982, Broderick would be promoted to Associate Headwriter alongside fellow Nixon protégée Wisner Washam. Washam was promoted to Headwriter the following year. In 1986, Broderick was appointed co-Head Writer, sharing duties with Washam, who would exit the show himself in 1987 – leaving Broderick as the sole head writer. Broderick won her first Outstanding Writing Team Daytime Emmy award as head writer alongside Washam in 1988.

However, a network mandate for creative changes had Broderick demoted back to Associate Head Writer, when Margaret DePriest was appointed head writer of All My Children in early 1989. But DePriest would not last long in the position, as Nixon would resume head writing duties by the end of that year, with Broderick and Washam as her Associate Headwriters.

After 12 years with the All My Children writing team, Broderick left in 1991 to become the co-head writer of Guiding Light. While Broderick wrote for Guiding Light, the show received much critical acclaim. In the spring of 1995, when Megan McTavish was fired from her writing post at All My Children, Broderick left her post as Associate Head Writer of Another World to once again become AMC's head writer. Broderick would win three consecutive Daytime Emmy awards for Outstanding Writing Team from her work as head writer of the show, bringing her total to four Emmy honors as a daytime head writer. She left All My Children for the second time in December 1997 when ABC Daytime decided to bring back McTavish.

In early 1998, Broderick was hired at CBS Daytime's As the World Turns where her most notable story was the resurrection of evil David Stenbeck and the switch of Lily Snyder's baby with another baby.

In July 1999, a complete behind-the-scenes overhaul at the show led to Broderick's exit. Shortly after, she was hired by Days of Our Lives Executive Producer Ken Corday to helm his show's writing team. However, she was there for less than a month before she left over disagreements with Co-Executive Producer Tom Langan (who would assume the writing duties himself). Broderick then joined Port Charles as an Associate Head Writer, before being appointed head writer of One Life to Live in January 2001. In 2003, she was demoted to associate head writer upon the return of famed One Life to Live writing team Michael Malone and Josh Griffith. At that time, ABC Daytime President Brian Frons offered Broderick a return to the head writing duties at All My Children, but she declined. Broderick left One Life to Live altogether in 2004, returning to Guiding Light for a short stint as Associate Head Writer, during the show's transition to a new head writing team.

She would eventually accept a position as a screenwriting and playwriting professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This move reunited her with her former colleague, Felicia Minei Behr, former executive producer of All My Children and As the World Turns, who served at Drexel as a professor of film & TV production.

In November 2009, Broderick returned to All My Children at the request of her one-time mentor, Agnes Nixon – following the dismissal of outgoing head writer Charles Pratt Jr. – as part of ABC's concerted effort to increased ratings. However, Broderick once again passed on being head writer in a permanent capacity. On January 13, 2010, ABC announced David Kreizman and Donna Swajeski as the new head writers. Broderick would continue as the interim head writer until her successors were in place on March 15, 2010. She then assumed her duties as Associate Head Writer.

On April 2, 2011, amid rumors of All My Children's possible cancellation, Soaps in Depth broke the news via Twitter that Broderick was once again named the show's head writer, replacing Kreizman and Swajeski. The show's cancellation was announced just two weeks later, with Broderick writing the show through its conclusion on September 23, 2011. She then returned to One Life to Live as a breakdown writer until that show's finale on January 13, 2012.

In April 2012, it was confirmed that Broderick would join the team of new Days of our Lives co-head writers Gary Tomlin and Christopher Whitesell as a breakdown writer.

Marie Luise von Degenfeld

Marie Susanne Luise von Degenfeld (28 November 1634 – 18 March 1677) was a German noblewoman and the morganatic second wife of Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine.

Early life
Born as Baroness Marie Susanne Luise von Degenfeld in Strasbourg, she was the daughter of an impoverished Baron, Christoph Martin von Degenfeld (1599–1653) and his wife, Maria Anna Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden (1610–1651). In 1650, she was appointed a lady-in-waiting at the Electoral Palace at Heidelberg to Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel, the consort of Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine. He was the son and heir of Frederick V, the "Winter King" of Bohemia, by Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James I of England.

Marriage
Although the marriage of the Elector and Electress was notoriously unhappy, Charlotte openly protesting that it had been contracted against her will, Luise initially declined to become the Elector's mistress. On 6 January 1658, acting on his own sovereign authority, the Prince-Elector contracted a morganatic but arguably bigamous (cf. cuius regio, eius religio) second marriage with the young Baroness von Degenfeld at Schwetzingen Castle, then a hunting lodge, midway between Heidelberg and Mannheim, Germany. From 31 December 1667 the Prince-Elector and his court accorded Luise the title of "the Raugravine" (Raugrafin), and the corresponding titles of Raugrave/Raugravine without territorial suffix, to each of her children, distinguishing them from the children of his first, dynastic marriage (which the Electress always refused to acknowledge as legally terminated), the future Elector Palatine Charles II and the future Duchess of Orléans, Elisabeth Charlotte ("Liselotte").

Children
Thirteen children were born to the Elector and the Raugravine between October 1658 and May 1675, but only six of them lived to mature adulthood. The only one of her children to marry and have children of their own was the Raugravine Caroline Elisabeth (1659–1696), who married an ardent suitor, Meinhard, 3rd Duc de Schomberg, 1st Duke of Leinster in 1683, receiving 20,000 florins from Elector Charles II. When the Edict of Nantes was revoked in France, the Schombergs emigrated to England rather than convert to Catholicism.

Three of Luise's sons were killed in battle, and one was killed in a duel. The youngest, the Raugrave Karl-Moritz (1671–1702), was a favorite of his half-sister, Elizabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate (referred to as Madame), and visited her several times at the French court, once seeking to provoke a duel with her husband's lover and major-domo, the Chevalier de Lorraine. Madame's efforts to intervene on his behalf to obtain an appanage from her brother, the Elector Charles II, were rebuffed. Thus the impecunious and alcoholic Karl-Moritz died unmarried, last of the Wittelsbach raugraves.

On 26 February 1677, Charles I Louis invested his two elder sons by Luise von Degenfeld, the Raugraves Karl-Ludwig and Karl-Eduard, with the lordship of Stebbach in Kraichgau. A portion of this estate had belonged in fief to the von Gemmingen family since 1577. When it came in its entirety to the Elector Palatine in 1677 under the administration of the city of Hilsbach, he transferred his rights therein to the two raugraves.

Charles I died in 1680, followed by his son and heir by his first wife, Charles II, in 1685. The new Elector Palatine Philip William of Neuburg, a distant, Catholic relative, seized Stebbach upon Karl-Eduard's death in 1690. But in addition to several daughters, Charles I still had a living son of his second marriage, Raugrave Karl-Moritz. Thanks to the protests of his maternal uncle, Baron Ferdinand von Degenfeld, the estate was deeded over to Karl-Moritz, the last raugrave, on 27 September 1695.

Stebbach was again seized by the Elector Palatine upon the latter's death in 1702. A successful appeal against this act was made, this time on behalf of the two surviving daughters of Charles I and Luise von Degenfeld, the Raugravines Louise (1661–1733) and Amalia (1663–1709), the former of whom managed the estates of her brother-in-law, the renowned general Meinhard, 3rd Duc de Schomberg, 1st Duke of Leinster.

List
The children of Luise and the Elector Palatine Charles I Louis were:
 * Charles Louis (15 October 1658 – 12 August 1688), killed in action;
 * Caroline Elisabeth (19 November 1659 – 28 June 1696), married Meinhardt Schomberg, 3rd Duke of Schomberg, had four children, including Frederica Mildmay, Countess of Mértola;
 * Louise (25 January 1661 – 6 February 1733);
 * Louis (19 February 1662 – 7 April 1662), died in infancy;
 * Amalia Elisabeth (1 April 1663 – 13 July 1709);
 * George Louis (30 March 1664 – 20 July 1665), died in childhood;
 * Frederica (7 July 1665 – 7 August 1674), died in childhood;
 * Frederick William (25 November 1666 – 29 July 1667), died in infancy;
 * Charles Edward (19 May 1668 – 2 January 1690), killed in action;
 * Sophie (19 July 1669 – 28 November 1669), died in infancy;
 * Charles Maurice (9 January 1671 – 13 June 1702);
 * Charles August (19 October 1672 – 20 September 1691), killed in action;
 * Charles Casimir (1 May 1675 – 28 April 1691), killed in a duel.

Later life
Initially, Luise and the Elector continued to live under one roof with his first wife, who refused to abandon the palace. But the latter's resistance to the arrangement led to such numerous quarrels that the Elector eventually sent her back to her own family in Hesse. However, Electress Charlotte's two children remained with their father. Although his eldest daughter, Liselotte, got along well with her step-mother and younger half-siblings, the rancor between her parents eventually prompted her father's sister, Sophia, to invite Liselotte to come live with her at the court of her husband, the future Ernest Augustus, Elector of Hanover. Although relations with his second wife would not always remain free of conflict, Charles and Luise had a large progeny together and the Elector proved a doting father to all of his children. Nonetheless, in later years poor relations developed between him and his eldest son, the extremely devout Electoral Prince Charles, which apparently prevented him from entertaining the warm feelings for the Raugravine's children that his sister Liselotte felt to such an extent that she sustained an extensive, now published, correspondence with several of her half-sisters for the remainder of her life at the court of Versailles.

During her fourteenth pregnancy, the Raugravine Luise died in the castle of Friedrichsburg in Mannheim on 28 March 1677. She had been constantly pregnant during her nineteen years of marriage, giving birth almost once a year. Her widower married a third time in December 1679, again morganatically, to Elisabeth Hollander von Bernau (1659 – 8 March 1702), by whom he had a posthumous son, Charles Louis, in April 1681 who, however, died young. In 1733, the still unmarried Louise died, whereupon one of the Raugravine's English granddaughters, Lady Maria von Schomberg (1692–1762), who had married a cousin, Count Christopher von Degenfeld-Schonberg (1689–1762), inherited Stebbach. The estate remained henceforth among the properties of the Degenfeld-Schonberg counts, even after the town's merger with Gemmingen in 1974.

Paul Burnett

Paul Burnett (born 26 November 1943) is an English radio disc jockey.

Early career
Burnett began his radio career while in the Royal Air Force in the Persian Gulf in 1964. In 1966 he joined offshore radio station, Radio 270, broadcasting off Scarborough, North Yorkshire. After the banning of the offshore stations he moved in 1967 to Manx Radio on the Isle of Man, but he soon joined Radio Luxembourg, where he hosted the chart show. Here Burnett discovered many recordings, previously thought lost, of propaganda broadcasts by William Joyce ("Lord Haw Haw") to Britain, made from the Luxembourg stations during the Nazi occupation. On Luxembourg, he presented the Saturday Top 20 show from 1967 to 1974.

On 24 March 1974 Burnett joined BBC Radio 1 hosting a Sunday morning show All There Is To Hear (a radio one airplay chart show) and also hosted the station's national Top 20 show, broadcast on Sunday evenings between 6 and 7pm whilst Tom Browne, the main presenter of the show at the time, was absent. The first record he ever played on the station was Seven Seas Of Rhye by the group Queen. In 1976, an on-air parody of the U.S. hit single "Convoy", became "Convoy GB" (by Laurie Lingo & The Dipsticks), which led to a release of the song as a single along with fellow DJ Dave Lee Travis. The song reached number four in the UK Singles Chart, and Burnett appeared dressed as a chicken on Top of the Pops.

From 5 July 1976 he hosted the weekday lunchtime show after Johnnie Walker left the station and moved to California. Here Burnett had the responsibility of revealing the new singles chart every Tuesday lunchtime on 247 metres Medium Wave as the chart positions were received by the British Market Research Bureau. His popular show included several features such as Pub of the Day, Fun at One and Is, Was, Should Have. Burnett became a regular presenter of Top of the Pops, and presented the Radio 1 Roadshow during the summer. In 1981 he moved from lunchtimes to later in the afternoons, but his daily show ended in 1982 to allow Steve Wright's show to be extended. He was then briefly heard on Saturday mornings from 10am-1pm.

During 1982–84, Burnett was heard on BBC Radio 2 as a stand-in host for the likes of David Hamilton and Terry Wogan and occasionally presenting the Early Show. In 1978, Burnett co-hosted the Miss World contest broadcast on BBC1.

From 1985
Between 1985 and 1987, he moved to Pennine Radio (now The Pulse of West Yorkshire) in Bradford, Southern Sound (now Heart Sussex) in Sussex, and Capital Radio, where he deputised for Alan Freeman on Pick of the Pops Take Two in February 1988. In October 1985, billed as the 'Pee Bee Squad' he reached #52 in the United Kingdom chart with "Rugged and Mean, Butch and on Screen".

In 1988 Capital split its frequencies and he joined Capital Gold where he presented a daytime Vintage Chart programme (Monday–Friday at 1pm), playing charts from 1956 to 1972. He also did a Sunday afternoon show on Capital Gold (2-5pm). This featured an hour of listeners' requests. He featured a Vintage Top 30 in the final couple of hours, playing complete top 30s again from 1956 to 1972. He left Capital Gold around 1994, and turned up on Classic Gold firstly in 1996 in an early evening show, when GWR swallowed up the Chiltern Stations. The Classic Gold platform was then broadcast on the old Chiltern Network's Supergold stations, as a replacement. This show disappeared a couple of years later.

Burnett replaced Jimmy Savile as the long-time host of The Vintage Chart Show on the BBC World Service (1989–1999).

Since 2000
He returned to Classic Gold around 2000, where he presented at lunchtimes and early afternoons. He left the station when it merged with Capital Gold to form the new Gold network in August 2007. In 2003, he was regular guest presenter on a Networked show on a few stations The UK Top 20 Rewind along with Shaun Tilley. During that run, he had to have a gallstone operation, and was off for a period. In the last week of August 2007, Burnett was heard on Big L International 1395MW Sky0190 as a replacement for afternoon DJ Steve Garlick, who was on holiday. He was due to present a regular weekend show on BigL, but this never happened.

On 9 November 2007 Burnett broadcast with Dave Lee Travis on KCFM from Hull, and on 16 November 2007 he did the show as their 'Live Legend' of radio. For the following four weeks he had a three-hour weekly spot on the station - 'Burnett Live' - which broadcast live late on Friday evenings. Tony Blackburn replaced Burnett in this slot in January 2008. However, Burnett continues to regularly broadcast on the station. He did a late evening show there, in the early Summer of 2008. Stood in, for Shaun Tilley in October 2008, and also did the 4 – 7pm slot there on Christmas Eve 2008.
