Speedy deletion nomination of File:WRTV current 2012 logo from 5PM news open.png

A tag has been placed on File:WRTV current 2012 logo from 5PM news open.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:WRTV current 2012 logo from 5PM news open.png
Thank you for uploading File:WRTV current 2012 logo from 5PM news open.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content.

Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. C3F2k (Questions, comments, complaints?) 12:39, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Shostakovich
Hi, could you shed any light on the following sentence from a book about Shostakovich? It was only towards the end of 1965 that his condition was successfully diagnosed... as a form of poliomyelitis which affected the nerve endings and the bones. I've had a look at the three kinds mentioned in the polio article, but I'm not much the wiser. Thanks, Mark1 04:58, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Mark... that sounds like the most common form, spinal paralytic polio. Polio doesn't have any direct effect on the bones, so I'm not sure what that's about, but it definitely affects the nerves connecting the spinal cord to various muscle groups. There are certainly varying degrees of severity, so perhaps the "rare" meant that the disease affected him in a very particular way. (I should point out that I'm not a doctor... I just had occasion to learn a lot about polio for a job I had at one time.) Hope this is helpful! -- Elizabeyth 13:46, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Lisronagh

Lisronagh is a village in County Tipperary, in Ireland.

Location
It is one half of the Roman Catholic parish of Powerstown and Lisronagh in the diocese of Waterford and Lismore. It is in the barony of Iffa and Offa East. It is located on the R689 regional road 7 km north of Clonmel, and 6 km south of Fethard.

History
Lisronagh has been inhabited since at least the medieval period. It was held as a fief by the Anglo-Norman de Burgh family from the time of Henry II of England, in the 12th century. A rare surviving document, the rental of the manor of Lisronagh, dates to 1333 and describes the local lord's landholdings, the rents owed by local tenants, and the rights which the village's inhabitants possessed. The powerful Butler family built a tower house in the village in the 16th century, which survives in a ruinous condition.

By the early 19th century, Lisronagh had a population of 981. The area has continued to have a rural character, with an economy based on agriculture. Raising and racing Thoroughbred and blooded horses is also part of the culture.

Horse racing
Lisronagh is home to the Lisronagh Point to Point race. It takes place annually at Lisronagh on a right-handed, mainly flat track, with a slight uphill finish. The Clonmel Agricultural Show owns the track, and leases it to the Tipperary Foxhounds for racing

People

 * Thomas Walsh (1850-1910), discoverer of one of the largest gold mines in the USA. Born and raised here, he emigrated to the US in 1869.

Atlantic City and Shore Railroad

The Shore Fast Line was an electric interurban railroad running from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Ocean City, New Jersey, by way of the mainland communities of Pleasantville, Northfield, Linwood and Somers Point. The line of about 11 mi ran from 1907 until 1948, when a hurricane damaged the viaduct and the decline of trolleys meant that the cost to replace it was prohibitive. The company that operated the Shore Fast Line was called Atlantic City and Shore Railroad.

The Atlantic City Quakers who helped develop the Monopoly board game named one of the railroad squares for the Shore Fast Line. Charles and Olive Todd, who taught the game to Charles Darrow, its eventual patentee, shortened the name on their oilcloth board to Short Line. It is also possible that the existence of short-line railroads, those that operate along short distances, influenced that change.

Portions of the Right-of-way running for 6 mi between Pleasantville and Somers Point have been repurposed as the Somers Point Bike Path

Talk:Emotional intelligence tests

I see that this article contains none of the standard statistical information on psychometric tests, such as internal or test-retest consistency.

Under the circumstances I think it should not be included in Wikipedia.

217.33.166.212 12:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello :

I am aware that the specified tests :

http://quiz.ivillage.co.uk/uk_work/tests/eqtest.htm http://quiz.ivillage.com/health/tests/eqtest2.htm http://psychology.about.com/library/bl/bleq_onlinetests.htm

Have probably business motivations behind them, but I did not find any others or any better, if you do, please publish !! Tests also look somehow poor in information content, if you read one or two, you feel like you know them all, not like IQ where reading one helps you just a little for the others! In other words it would be great to have much brother EQ tests, and why not EQ advices in different fields involving communication and naturally also politics ... because it looks like they need it a lot :-)

By the way I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN EQ (still a Bsc equivalent in psychology with a individual differences paper in 1994), so improvement is very welcome!

Greetings : Laser Resal

Hope pseudos are ok arround here ?

 * I suggest deleting those links because they are trash. Look for scholarly papers on EQ instead.

would be happily completed with :

emotional quotient (psychology): quotient between the "emotional age" and the chronological age that meaures emotional intelligence (how well a person understands emotions); the most famous test used to determine the EQ is the MSCEIT (Meyer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test); see emotional intelligence.

from : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EQ

It seems to me this article should be merged with Emotional intelligence. Kslays 17:08, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Criticism I've taken some of those tests and have noticed the following: 1. Grammatical errors abound. 2. In many questions NONE of the options are optimal or the situation is too incomplete to make a judgement. 3. There is no proof of the correct responses given by the test author. 4. The same sites that promote these tests carry, e.g. horoscope advertisements. Conclusion: these tests are in my opinion no more valid than informal personality tests and do not justify a numerical EQ for any kind of ranking comparison. Suggested action: Reference only tests supported by SCHOLARLY WORK in peer reviewed journals, not some horoscope hawking pseudoscience website. Jwray1 04:17, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Exchange rate template
Hi,

I am the creator of the exchange rate template. I see that you have an interest in updating the exchange rate template. I'm not sure is it because you're interest in currencies, or you believe the British pound is significant enough to be on the exchange rate section of all currencies? Anyway, if pound sterling is to be included globally, then the Japanese yen must be too. After all the economy of Japan is bigger than that of the U.K. So I'm proposing the following: The exchange rate must include USD, EUR, JPY, and GBP. The first two must be USD and EUR, but the ordering between the two depends on the importance in trade, from the perspective of the currency in question. The same applies on JPY and GBP.

Btw, "British pound" redirects to "Pound sterling". It is generally better to avoid redirects. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 12:02, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi.

Thanks for the message and for letting me use your template. I do have an interest in currencies but I also think that the pound is significant enough to be on the exchange rate section of all currencies. The main reasons are:

Major trade currency 3rd reserve currency behind USD and EUR (and increasing in importance as central banks diversify) The highest valued OECD currency.

As to the positioning of the rate, I didn't stick to any specific order. I thought about doing it in the order of the base rate hierarchy (2nd), reserve states (3rd) or Economic status (4th) but generally I put it in 3rd position.

I found out that British Pound redirects to Pound sterling but I was copying and pasting so I didn't bother to change it.

Thanks for the message, and let me know what plans you have. As a additional point, the Yen wasn't on all the tables so you'll probably have to add it to around half of them.

 * By thw e way, I find that you have the habit of capitalizing currency unit. In fact, because it's just a unit, not a proper name, it should be lower case. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 10:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Grammatical correctness. Just like the first letter of a sentence must be capitlised. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 11:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I wans't talking about GBP. I'm talking about the text. I've seen one of those, but I just can't find one now. Also, even for the case like GBP, avoiding capitalised unit usually means bypassing redirect, and that means reducing server load. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 23:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Irene Vernon

Irene Vernon (born Irene Vergauwen, January 16, 1922 – April 21, 1998) was an American actress.

Background
Vernon was born Irene Vergauwen in Mishawaka, Indiana, and graduated from Mishawaka High School. Following graduation, she moved to New York to become an actress. Her career began with small uncredited roles in 1940s movies. Vernon ended her movie career in 1952, but during the 1950s, she began performing television roles.

Career
Throughout the early 1950s, Vernon guest starred in shows such as Fireside Theater, The Lone Ranger, Danger, Flight, Dennis the Menace Christmas Show and The Donna Reed Show. In 1964, Vernon began portraying Louise Tate on the hit television series Bewitched. Vernon held the role until 1966.

After writer Danny Arnold left the series, the producers, actress Elizabeth Montgomery and Montgomery's husband, director William Asher, reportedly pressured Vernon to also leave the show due to her friendship with Arnold (although the official reason given was that Vernon's husband was ill). The role of Louise Tate was later taken over by Kasey Rogers.

On Broadway, Vernon performed in The Lady in Ermine (1922).

Personal life
On July 29, 1944, Vernon married U. S. Army Major Edward Duryea Dowling in Englewood, New Jersey. Before his military service, Dowling had been a director of musical shows.

On March 26, 1993, Vernon married Emanuel Rosenberg in Miami Beach, Florida. He preceded her in death on October 28, 1997.

Death
Irene Rosenberg (as she was known at the time of her death) died on April 21, 1998, in South Bend, Indiana, aged 76. Death certificate indicates from congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease. She is interred in Saint Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Mishawaka, Indiana.

GuitarBot

GuitarBot is a self-playing guitar created by the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots (LEMUR) in 2002. The instrument consists of four modular string units, each of which can be controlled with MIDI. GuitarBot was used by guitarist Pat Metheny on his 2009 Orchestrion tour.

Mechanical
The GuitarBot modules are built on an aluminum base. Each base serves as a mounting point for the module's string, moving bridge subsystem, and pickwheel subsystem. The modules measure 91 centimeters long by 10 centimeters wide and are mounted vertically on a purpose-built support structure, which also houses the units' electronics.

Changing Pitch
GuitarBot uses a belt-drive mechanism to change pitch. An encoder-equipped DC motor drives a belt with an attached movable fret. As the belt moves the movable fret, the string's pitch is changed. The movable fret is mounted on a ball bearing linear slide, and can traverse its full displacement of 54.4 centimeters in 250 ms.

GuitarBot's movable fret system is configured as a slide mechanism and remains in constant contact with the string. To reduce friction between GuitarBot's wire-wound strings and the movable fret, f latwound strings are used. The flatwound strings' lack of ridges allow the movable bridge to slide over the string smoothly.

Other mechatronic guitar and string-playing systems that employ similar pitch-shifting mechanisms include Nicholas A. Baginsky's Aglaopheme self-playing guitar, Trimpin's prototype KrautKontrol guitar systems, James McVay's MechBass, and Festo Automation's Sound Machines.

String picking and damping
String picking is accomplished with a rotary pick wheel mechanism. Four picks are attached to an idler pulley on a belt-driven DC motor. As the motor spins, the pick wheel rotates.

A solenoid actuator is used to dampen GuitarBot's strings.

Electronics and software
Each GuitarBot module uses a PIC microcontroller to handle motor control, feedback, and damping. The modules on each unit receive MIDI input, allowing external sequencers to control GuitarBot.

A PID control scheme is used for the bridge positioning subsystem. The control coefficients used in the feedback systems for the pickwheel, bridge positioning system, and damper state can be modified on the fly with MIDI commands.

David Lowery (musician)

David Charles Lowery (born September 10, 1960) is an American guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, mathematician, and activist. He is the founder of the alternative rock band Camper Van Beethoven and the co-founder of Cracker, a more traditional rock band. Lowery released his first solo album, The Palace Guards, in February 2011.

Personal life and music career
Lowery was born in San Antonio, Texas, the son of a career Air Force father. He has described his parents as "a hillbilly and an English working-class woman." His family moved around a great deal during his youth before settling in Redlands, California, where he attended high school. He became involved in music as a member of the band Sitting Ducks, who played a mixture of punk and acid rock, along with what Lowery described as "fake Russian-sounding music." Sitting Ducks evolved into Camper Van Beethoven, formed in 1983 in Santa Cruz, California. The band is best known for its cover of the Status Quo song "Pictures of Matchstick Men" from the Key Lime Pie LP and its original composition "Take the Skinheads Bowling," from the band's 1985 debut LP, Telephone Free Landslide Victory which was later featured in the Michael Moore movie Bowling for Columbine.

In the early 1990s, Lowery formed Cracker with guitarist and long-time friend Johnny Hickman and bassist Davey Faragher. Cracker rejected the indie-rock sound of Camper Van Beethoven in favor of a more traditional, roots-rock sound. Cracker's biggest hits are "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)" from its eponymous LP, released in 1992, and "Low," from 1993's Kerosene Hat. Cracker continues to perform today, although Camper Van Beethoven has also reformed, releasing a cover of the entire Fleetwood Mac album Tusk in 2002 and several new albums of original music, beginning with New Roman Times in 2004.

From 1990 to 1995, Lowery and Hickman also collaborated frequently with German band Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle (a/k/a FSK) and were occasionally listed as full members. Lowery produced and performed on the FSK albums Son Of Kraut (1991), The Sound Of Music (1993) and International (1995), to which he also contributed some of his own compositions (e.g. "Red Sonja" and "Dr Bernice" on The Sound of Music). Both Lowery and Hickman also joined FSK for concert tours in Europe and the US.

Other activities
Lowery graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics. He earned an Ed.D. from the University of Georgia of in 2018. He has worked as a "quant" (a derivatives trader and financial analyst) and has started a number of music-related businesses, including a studio, a record company and a publishing company. Lowery's extensive experience in business led to his appointment as a lecturer in the University of Georgia's music business program. Charles Pitter at PopMatters has said that "in addition to this work, Lowery teaches as a lecturer and has a consistently high profile in the media as a champion of artists rights. As such, it could almost be said that Lowery has become the voice of a generation; however, it seems likely he would dismiss this title as meaningless blabber."

Lowery is critical of the internet era and says that things may be worse now for working musicians than they were under the old record system. In 2012, he gave a widely shared talk called "Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss" in which he criticized Pandora Radio for low songwriter royalties, claiming to have made less than $17 from a million streams of his song "Low."

In 2017, Spotify settled a class action lawsuit initiated by Lowery and Melissa Ferrick covering unpaid mechanical royalties. As part of the settlement, Spotify set up a fund worth over $40 million to compensate songwriters and publishers affected. In January 2019, Lowery settled a lawsuit against Napster, which concerned unpaid mechanical royalties.

Song articles
Hello Madchester. I've seen your song articles and find they make good stubs. For information on creating song articles and how to categorize them correctly, see WikiProject Songs. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. --Moochocoogle 05:20, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Category creation
Hi, you can create category pages using the search function. Just type in whatever category title you want, but make sure it's prefixed with Category: Then, click the link that appears at the top of the Search Page results that has the category name you want, it has a link to the index next to it. Then, you can edit the page like a regular page. For example, I created the Coldplay songs by searching for: Category:Coldplay songs Then, I followed the above steps. Have fun. ^ ^ 07:26, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Weezer
Hey, Madchester. The cover you posted on the new Weezer album Make Believe, is it official? It was on the official website too. -- Mike Garcia 05:24, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Coldplay
I realize that, but Britpop bands as Radiohead, Oasis and Blur don't have them. Yet many other acts also don't have them. It will be very... how to say it.. not intersting to read countless awards of R.E.M., U2, Stones or Beatles. So, to summarize it, I think that such awards section is at least to say it redundant. But if you want to put it back - do it. You wrote this article after all. Despite my contributions on other Britpop acts, I can't have much word on the future developping of this page, except the minor restructuring I did IMHO for the best.

Template box
No problem on all the Coldplay work. To be honest, I've actually just been trying to follow your example. With regard to the Radiohead box, I just copied it to make the Coldplay one. To edit the box, just go to Template:Coldplay and then its like any article. Thanks for the message and I'll keep up the work. Thanks. Cbing01 07:41, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Stars
As far as I have seen, the stars are being phased into many of the album articles. I only did the Coldplay articles after I had seen or edited myself, many of the other bigs bands, such as Radiohead, The Beatles, etc. I don't know who started the process, only the person who created the stars images, and that is just because they are all linked to the user page. Thanks for the question. Cbing01 30 June 2005 16:20 (UTC)

suggestion
Please watch how you use the term "nazi" in any context, out of sensitivity to others. Also, don't name call. -- Netoholic @ 07:28, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)

Regarding The Amazing Race 6
You mentioned on the Amazing Race 7 article that the trivia was starting to get a bit pedestrian, then went on to edit The Amazing Race 6 article with "Don and Mary Jean were chosen in an open casting call". I haven't reverted it or anything, but I'm just curious as to how that is any less pedestrian than the example you used of Uchenna and Joyce being the 3rd black couple.

Speed Of Sound (single)
Hello,

Could you please stop reverting this page. If you look at Coldplay's Official Website, under News--->X&Y album artwork and tracklisting, you'll see that the official title of the single is "Speed of Sound" (with of not capitalized). I think the Speed Of Sound (single) page should redirect to the proper title.

Acegikmo1 20:06, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi,

 * Perhaps I'm being persnickety, but I consulted a few style guides  and found that prepositions less than four letters long should not be capitalized.  This page, which is listed on reference.com, gives a good outline of the rules regarding capitalization of song titles.  I do think it's important that we try to adhere to these rules on Wikipeida.  Maybe I'm being obsessively, but I think we should work to get all song titles to follow this style.

 * Cheers,

 * Acegikmo1 16:39, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The Amazing Race spoiler tag
I can totally understand why you might want to have a spoiler tag on The Amazing Race, however the main article does not warrant a tag. I have read your comments on the talk page but they don't justify having a spoiler tag; the main article contains no details about winners and losers that might spoil the show for someone new to it. The other articles (Alias (TV series), Jeopardy! Ultimate Tournament of Champions, etc) that you cite on the talk page are clearly justified in using the spoiler warning because they contain either detailed plot information or lists of winners. On the talk page you mention that several other people have tried removing the spoiler warning and you've re-added it. Maybe that's a sign you're being a bit of a zealot. You were the one to add it initially, so maybe you need to take a step back and take an objective look at the article. --NormanEinstein 21:04, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Please, dude, I don't need to be patronized about being respectful of the reading audience. I could always turn that argument around and say that you're being disrespectful of a reader's intelligence by implying that they need to be warned that an article about The Amazing Race might contain information about the show, but I won't do that. I will leave you to watch over your self-appointed domain. --NormanEinstein 23:26, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Circumnavigation in AR7
Then they could have come through London then Istanbul on the way to India, and on from there. Or, not have Phil use the phrase 'race around the world' in his spiel every episode. But, to me, this was a 'race halfway around the world and back'; not the same thing. You may disagree, but I felt a bit cheated by the whole thing. Radagast 17:02, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, you have a point. And it's a small complaint in a mostly exemplary season; I guess I'm just a stickler for the semantics of it all! Radagast 17:51, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

Mysterious Roadblock in leg 8 on TAR5
Hey Madchester, The roadblock on leg 8 in TAR5 is it before or after detour in Dubai?

Location a roadblock on leg 8 in TAR5
Madchester, what part and location in Dubai did the roadblock? I saw the pictures at CBS website. Brandon, Chip, Colin, Karli & Linda did these task.

Brothers & Sisters
I think you will find that I am right. Check the official site. It says "Brothers & Sisters", not "Brothers and Sisters". Or alternatively you could tell by looking at the cover art.

Also, if you look here: http://www.hotandcoldplay.com/discography/brotherssistersukep-back.jpg, you will find that Crash produced the album and Mike Beaver engineered and mixed the tracks. I don't want to be rude, but I resent you accusing me of not checking my facts when you haven't checked yours.

Leaving your opinions about Hot and Coldplay aside, you can see from that image that I am correct, or you could check the official site as I suggested. Also, isn't it a bit superfluous to have a page (both incorrectly named) for the EP and the single? Surely an entry in the single category would suffice, especially seeing as though the official site lists it as a single.

I'm not going to go around changing what you have done, because I have better things to do, but that image I sent you should settle our little dispute about names and producers in my favour on its own. If you want to make the entries more accurate, then that's up to you. As to the EP and single entries, do what you will.

It's polite, it explains what you're doing and it's what the damn box is there for in the first place. Namely, the Stereophonics article you continue to revert. — Cuahl 3 July 2005 18:42 (UTC)

 * That's a fair point - I hadn't realised that it was the same thing on a load of articles, but I thought it might have been a good idea to mention their appearance, and it's not that half-bad a line to put in until someone can provide more information don't you agree? — Cuahl 4 July 2005 07:14 (UTC)

Pianoro

Pianoro (Bolognese: Pianôr) is a town and comune in the province of Bologna in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, in the hills of the Tusco-Emilian Apennines, 200 m above sea level.

Highway SS 65 connects the town to Bologna and Florence across the Apennines. Pianoro has a local railway station with connections to Florence and Bologna.

History
According to legend the Etruscan king Ocno (also known as Bianore, mythical founder of Felsina and other cities), lived in the area. There is evidence of Celtic and Etruscan settlement at the Monte Bibele archeological site. The Roman presence in the area is seen in the names of local villages such as Sesto.

Bonifacio of Canossa, feudal lord of Pianoro during the 11th century, used to live in the Castle of Pianoro, subsequently demolished by the inhabitants of Bologna who accused the people of Pianoro of conspiracy.

During World War II the town was heavily bombed by Anglo-American forces. The Gothic Line was very close and in October 1944 there was a huge battle (in Livergnano) involving German, American forces and local partisans, leaving on the ground thousands of Anglo-American soldiers. Civil engineers reported that 98.5 percent of the town was destroyed during the battle. Many German soldiers are buried in the German Military Cemetery and War Memorial at the Futa pass, a few kilometers south of the town in the direction of Florence.

The town was rebuilt 3 km north of the old site, toward Bologna. The new town is called Pianoro Nuovo (New Pianoro) and the remains of the old are called Pianoro Vecchio (Old Pianoro).

Economy
Industries located in the area are primarily in the mechanical engineering and packaging (Marchesini Group, Romaco, MG2) and chemicals (Sayerlack S.r.l., part of Sherwin-Williams) sectors

Landscape and tourism
The Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa Park, shared with San Lazzaro di Savena, contains an area of karstic topography with dolines, badlands and cliffs. There are many trails used by walkers, trekkers and bikers, including the Via degli Dei, a trail connecting Bologna to Florence across the Apennine Mountains.

Pianoro Cricket Club is a very successful cricket team, winning the Serie A tournament and the Italian Goblet several times, and the European Championship in 1995.

Transportation
Pianoro is connected to Bologna and Florence by National Highway SS65 Futa and is located about 12 km from the former and 88 km from the latter.

Pianoro railway station is served by hourly Regional Trains between Bologna Centrale and Prato, two return trains Firenze Santa Maria Novella-Bologna Centrale and Firenze Campo di Marte-Bologna Centrale, as well as hourly Regional Trains Bologna Centrale-San Benedetto Val di Sambro as part of Route SFM1A of Bologna Suburban Railway Service.

TPER bus services offer frequent connections to/from Bologna, San Lazzaro di Savena and Monghidoro. The routes are the following:

 * 13A Borgo Panigale-Ospedale Maggiore-Bologna Centre-San Ruffillo-Rastignano/Carteria di Sesto (extension to Pianoro on late trips on weekends)

Owen Pallett

Michael James Owen Pallett-Plowright (born September 7, 1979), known professionally as Owen Pallett, is a Canadian composer, violinist, keyboardist, and vocalist. Under their former pseudonym Final Fantasy, Pallett won the 2006 Polaris Music Prize for the album He Poos Clouds. Pallett is also known for their contributions to Arcade Fire, having toured with the band and been credited as an arranger and instrumentalist on each of their studio albums. In January 2014, Pallett and Arcade Fire member William Butler were nominated for Best Original Score at the 86th Academy Awards for their original score of the film Her (2013).

From the age of 3, Pallett studied classical violin, and composed their first piece at age 13. A notable early composition includes some of the music for the game Traffic Department 2192; Pallett moved on to scoring films, to composing two operas while in university. Apart from the indie music scene, Pallett has had commissions from the Barbican, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, National Ballet of Canada, Bang on a Can, Ecstatic Music Festival, the Vancouver CBC Orchestra, and Fine Young Classicals. They have been noted for their live performances, wherein Pallett plays the violin into a loop pedal; Pallett uses Max/MSP and SooperLooper to do multi-phonic looping, which sends their violin signal to amplifiers across the stage.

Aside from their solo oeuvre and work with Arcade Fire, Pallett has contributed arrangements and instrumentation to the works of pop acts like Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Robbie Williams, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, as well as rock performers such as R.E.M., Linkin Park, Franz Ferdinand, the National and Alex Turner.

Solo work
Pallett has drawn inspiration from electronic act Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), who were Pallett's favorite band, along with Eurythmics. They have also identified albums by Tori Amos, The Strokes, Public Enemy and Brian Eno as influential. Pallett's favorite album is Xiu Xiu's A Promise. The name Final Fantasy, under which Pallett recorded prior to the release of Heartland, was a tribute to the well-known video game series, although Pallett said that it is not one of their top twenty favorite games.

Pallett's debut album, Has a Good Home, was released on February 12, 2005, by the Blocks Recording Club, a cooperative, Toronto-based record label of which Pallett is a founding member. "An Arrow in the Side of Final Fantasy" borrows the music from the Space Zone's final level in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. "Adventure.exe" from this album was used in a series of 2006 commercials by Orange in the United Kingdom. Pallett did not intend to sell the song for this purpose, but its use was authorized due to an alleged miscommunication with their record label, Tomlab. All of Pallett's income from this use is donated to Doctors Without Borders.

Pallett's second album, He Poos Clouds, was released in June 2006, though the video, directed by Jesse Ewles, was released on March 1, 2006. The album consists entirely of string quartet arrangements. Eight of the ten songs are about each of the schools of magic as described in the rules to the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. The album was named winner of the 2006 Polaris Music Prize. Uncomfortable with receiving a prize sponsored by a mobile phone conglomerate, Pallett gave the money away to bands they liked who needed financial assistance.

In 2007, the song "This Is The Dream of Win & Regine" was used in a commercial for Wiener Stadtwerke without Pallett's permission. Instead of litigation, Pallett and their booking agent Susanne Herrndorf approached the company for sponsorship for a music festival of their curation. The resultant Maximum Black Festival featured Final Fantasy, The Dirty Projectors, Deerhoof, Frog Eyes, Max Tundra, Six Organs of Admittance and others. It played Vienna, Berlin and London.

In July 2007, Pallett was interviewed on the CBC Radio One program Q, about their upcoming album, to be titled Heartland, which was to have a theme of nothingness. In September 2007, they did a Take-Away Show acoustic video session shot by Vincent Moon.

In October 2007, Final Fantasy released a vinyl 7" on Tomlab's Alphabet Single series (The Letter "X"). The two tracks on "X", recorded in Montreal with Zach Condon of the band Beirut, predate the album He Poos Clouds. The tracks "Hey Dad" and "What Do You Think Will Happen Next?" are both played regularly at live shows. The song "Hey Dad" contains a melody borrowed from the Nintendo video game "Super Mario Bros. 3"; specifically it is the music from the "Coin Heaven" bonus/hidden stages. Also, the song is quite similar in melody, lyrics and tone to another of Pallett's songs, "→".

In March 2008, Owen Pallett, under the alias Final Fantasy, collaborated with Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste on a cover of Björk's "Possibly Maybe" as part of Stereogum's tribute to Björk's album Post. On their Final Fantasy releases, Pallett has collaborated with Leon Taheny, who is credited as drummer and engineer.

In Fall 2008, Pallett released two EPs. The first one, Spectrum, 14th Century, was a collaboration with Beirut. The second EP, Plays to Please, was a tribute to fellow Torontonian Alex Lukashevsky and his group Deep Dark United. On it, six Lukashevsky originals were reconfigured for a 35-piece big band, the Toronto-based St. Kitts Orchestra (which includes Drumheller's Nick Fraser, Paul Mathew of the Hidden Cameras, and a whistling Andrew Bird, among others).

In December 2009, Pallett began performing and recording under their own name. The album Heartland was released on Domino Records on January 12, 2010. It was mixed by New York producer Rusty Santos. Also Pallett played Primavera Sound Festival 2010. In August 2010, Pallett released a four track EP entitled A Swedish Love Story on September 28 via Domino. The tracks received substantial airplay on community radio. Following the release of Heartland, Pallett has toured with guitarist/percussionist Thomas Gill and more recently with Rob Gordon and Matt Smith, their former collaborators in Les Mouches.

On November 12, 2012, Pallett tweeted that they had been working on a new album called In Conflict. The album, their fourth full-length recording, was released May 27, 2014.

In live performances, Pallett plays the violin into a loop pedal. Pallett uses Max/MSP and SooperLooper to do multi-phonic looping, which sends their violin signal to amplifiers across the stage.

Other contributions
Pallett's previous projects included a now-defunct three-piece Toronto-based band, Les Mouches. Pallett also played fiddle for a short time with the Celtic rock band Enter the Haggis. Pallett was once the violinist of another Toronto band called Picastro, and briefly played keyboard in SS Cardiacs (with Leon Taheny, Jessie Stein and Michael Small in 2005). Pallett has also recorded and toured with Jim Guthrie, The Hidden Cameras, Royal City, The Vinyl Cafe, Gentleman Reg, and Arcade Fire (they co-wrote the strings arrangement for their albums Funeral and Neon Bible). One of their songs, "This Is the Dream of Win & Regine", was inspired by the principal members of the latter group, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, and is a play on a Dntel song called, "(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan."

Pallett contributed remixes for the bands Stars, Grizzly Bear, and Death from Above 1979. Pallett also wrote string arrangements for the Canadian bands Immaculate Machine, on their 2007 album Fables, and Fucked Up, on their 2006 album Hidden World. Pallett also wrote the string arrangements for the Beirut album The Flying Club Cup, as well as provided vocals for the track "Cliquot". Most recently, Pallett provided orchestration for The Age of the Understatement, the debut album of the English supergroup The Last Shadow Puppets, formed by co-frontmen Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (The Rascals). Pallett also conducted the London Metropolitan Orchestra in the recording of this project.

In June 2009, at Luminato, Toronto's annual festival of arts and creativity, Pallett provided part of the live soundtrack for the outdoor screening (at Yonge-Dundas Square) of the 1919 silent German horror film Tales of the Uncanny, alongside Canadian instrumental band Do Make Say Think and German electronica artist Robert Lippok.

In 2009, Pallett worked with Win Butler and Régine Chassagne on the score for Richard Kelly's film The Box. Pallett was also initially set to score Rabbit Hole, a 2010 film by John Cameron Mitchell, but in the end, the film was scored by Anton Sanko.

In 2010, Pallett recorded with Arcade Fire during sessions for their 2010 album The Suburbs, which later received a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In late 2010, Pallett was named as composer for T Magazine's "Fourteen Actors Acting" project; Pallett received, alongside the producers of that series, an Emmy Award for "New Approaches to News & Documentary Programming: Arts, Lifestyle and Culture".

In 2012, Pallett collaborated with John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats, when several songs from Transcendental Youth were performed in concert with the all-female vocal quartet Anonymous 4 and featured Pallett's arrangements for piano, guitar and voices.

Pallett scored the 2013 film The Wait, directed by M. Blash.

Pallett's string arrangements are featured on the songs "Wear" and "Trust" from the 2021 album Ignorance by The Weather Station.

Personal life
Pallett was born in Mississauga, Ontario and grew up in Milton. Pallett received an Honours Bachelor of Music for Composition from the University of Toronto in 2002. Pallett is gay, identifies as gender-queer, and uses gender-neutral pronouns.

Talk:Fantasy Island

Trivia
In his autobiographical book, The Bridge Across Forever, novelist Richard Bach noted he'd owned a seaplane that ended up as a TV show prop. Although he did not mention Fantasy Island explicitly, the description of the show's opening and the plane's role in it fits perfectly.

Inconsistancy
On the Fantasy Island Page it says

"Villechaize quit the series prior to the 1983-1984 season"

While in this Villechaize it says

"He was eventually fired, but the show's popularity waned as the show "

Can someone clear it up? Jesus On Wheels 06:52, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Image
Is there a version of the title card available that does not have the TV Land logo on it? With the show now on DVD surely someone can make a screen capture without the logo. 23skidoo 03:17, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

1998 series
There is very little to be found regarding the revived Fantasy Island, and it might be best to keep the two series under one article. But I have two questions: — ArkansasTraveler 19:40, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Can we get a title card for the 1998 series? I last saw that Sci Fi was airing it a few years ago in the U.S., but don't think they do currently.
 * Is the episode total in the info box at the top of the article inclusive of both the original and revival series, or simply the original?

 * According to http://www.pazsaz.com/fantasy.html, the original series had a total of 155 episodes, which includes the original pilot. Kizzbone (talk) 03:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)Kizzbone

In the original series Roddy McDowall played Satan and was to take the soul of a women but Mr. Rourke foiled him because the women was pregnant. Mr Rouke said to McDowall's character, "How can you take one soul without taking two?" Then, in what was dramatic television, at the time, Roddy McDowall transforms into Satan with red lights and two little horns. He starts spinning and then screams, "Damn you Rourke!" That is all I remember is there some place for this kind of information? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.196.63.107 (talk) 19:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Someone had misspelled Roddy McDowall's surname as McDowell, so I corrected it in the above paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.16.80.162 (talk) 08:53, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Shame you didn't fix their misuse of "women" to refer to a single woman. Canonblack (talk) 16:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * And he also botched up Roarke's name (he wrote Rourke & Rouke). Guy was on a roll of misspellings!

ETA: Wondering what his post has anything at all to do here, though? The comment is from 2008 and that episode can now be viewed for free on Tubi, online. 98.154.31.242 (talk) 23:52, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Parodies
I think that SCTV once did a parody of the show, I remember at the very least John Candy playing Tattoo and him saying "Boss, the plane crashed !" and the man portraying Mr. Roarke replied "Well, there goes their fantasies !". If someone remembers the full parody, it would be an interesting inclusion in the aforementioned section of the main article. Neonblak 11:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Main Theme Music
Other than composer Laurence Rosenthal, I can't find anything about the theme music. Is there an official title? Who played the theme? Any help is appreciated. NBK1122 (talk) 00:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The sheet music simply calls it Theme from "Fantasy Island", as can be seen at Musicnotes.com. Dtubbe (talk) 16:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Airplane?
What type of airplane did the guests arrive in? Looks like a Grumman Goose. Same plane as in Tales of the Gold Monkey? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 00:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Catch phrase
"Smiles, everybody, smiles!" was said by Mr. Roarke to the beatiful Hawaiian Native ladies workers and came before he said "Welcome to Fantasy Island!" to the guests. That should be included with "The plane! The plane!" catch phrases. Macshill (talk) 01:35, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Julie
I thought Julie was Mr Roarke's daughter, not an assistant. Am I totally remembering wrong or is there some basis for this? Sluggoster (talk) 04:28, 7 May 2010 (UTC) Julie was his niece. She appeared in FANTASY ISLAND JUNIOR, a version of the show with kids getting their fantasies. It was on ABC on Sunday nights at 7:00 opposite 60 MINUTES. It only lasted a month or two. Tattoo was on it, but Roarke wasn't. After it was axed, she went to FANTASY ISLAND and became a regular there. I wonder why there's no mention of JUNIOR on Wiki or IMDB? AbbythecatAbbythecat (talk) 01:28, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't find any reference to a Fantasy Island Junior anywhere, not even in Wendy Schaal's TV filmography on various sites. I think maybe you're misremembering an unrelated kids' show starring a different actress. While searching, I found a TV Guide article that describes Julie as Roarke's goddaughter, not his niece. [EDIT] Okay, I just found a mention on TV Tropes that a children's version aired at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday nights and ran only a few weeks before cancellation. It does not give the title or make any mention of Schaal. Maybe that's a basis for further research. Canonblack (talk) 16:13, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Put me down as someone else who remembers Fantasy Island Jr. It did star Wendy Schaal and Herve Villechaize. I've been searching for info on it after recently seeing Wendy on a YouTube clip, and I can't believe that this is the only hit I got. 69.118.81.150 (talk) 19:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Roarke sinister?
I question the following:

"In the pilot film, Roarke was actually a rather sinister figure, but once the series went into production, he was depicted as more benevolent."

The only foundation for this would appear to be that a disguised Roarke did double as a heavy in one of the fantasies in the pilot, but this turned out to have been for a good purpose after all, Roarke had not actually gone over to the dark side, and in other situations in that pilot, Roarke was unquestionable of noble character.

 * I distinctly remember him being somewhat sinister in the original pilot. The script and characterizations suggested that the island was a kind of earthly purgatory and the guests self-indulgent types (just the sort to spend a million dollars a day—or whatever the cost of the vacation—on themselves) whose fantasies would turn on them as a kind of comeuppance. In fact, it seemed to have been a reworking of Haunts of the Very Rich, an earlier ABC Movie of the Week in which the island was actually Purgatory. Perhaps this was very much softened in the second pilot, which must have been the one you saw. Note that "sinister" does not mean necessarily "demonstrably evil". A character can be presented as sinister but actually turn out to be one of the "good guys"; cf. the sinister Slugworth in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, who is intentionally imposing, but is actually Wonka's assistant Wilkinson testing the children's loyalties. Unfortunately I can't find any sources supporting the sinister depiction, although there were discussions with sources in a now-defunct film and television forum. Just as well the statement was removed until a source can be found. Canonblack (talk) 16:37, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Support – in fact, I'm going to look into carrying out this WP:SPLIT right now, as there has been no opposition registered to it. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:03, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Mentioned in a book
Not many people will have heard of this but there is a book called 'Bankhall Couldn't Win On Fantasy Island'. It's about a church football team from Bootle, Liverpool, who played between 1978 and 1984. At one point they were on such a poor run of form that someone came up with the phrase, 'Bankhall couldn't win on Fantasy Island', which was something that just shouldn't happen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.188.183.86 (talk) 12:54, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

 * "Not many people will have heard of this" = not notable. - BilCat (talk) 01:00, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Not notable and trivia. We don't include every offhanded mention of an article subject because it's just not relevant to an understanding of the subject or its impact on culture. It would also create unreasonably long articles that are 99/100ths feeble mentions of a word or phrase and 1/100th about the article subject. Canonblack (talk) 16:21, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
