Talk:Michigan City, Indiana

Untitled
User:24.12.84.142: Please see Michigan City, Indiana/draft for your version of the article, which shouldn't be in the main article namespace. Niteowlneils 00:23, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Radio Personalities
Some of the radio personalities are already listed (and, I would think, properly so) on Wikipedia's article for WEFM (USA); they really don't need to be added to the city article... Xenophon777 21:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Famous People
Question: Is the current mayor of a city--any city--always ipso facto a "famous person" and notable? Should all cities' articles on Wikipedia be updated to include the current mayor (and maybe past mayors? candidates? aldermen/-women?) How about current town council members of towns which are rural county seats? I know I'm seeming like a bit of a crank here, but are all mayors always "notable" and "famous people"? Xenophon777 (talk) 20:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Anyone have anything to suggest that Krueger is notable? Xenophon777 (talk) 02:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

The fact that he was a six-term mayor is pretty darned notable. But here is a little more: http://www.mclib.org/people.htm#top and http://www.mclib.org/moments.htm#boys If any one person is responsible for the character of this city, Martin T Krueger would be that person.24.12.86.73 (talk) 09:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Other than that he may have served as mayor some time ago (even six times) doesn't tell us much of anything. It doesn't make him famous. It's not like listing John Wayne among famous people in an article on Winterset, Iowa, or listing Eli H. Janney in an article on Loudoun County, Virginia. Even the source you cite largely describes a ten-year-old boy's little adventures and things that happened during his tenure--not what he himself did that was notable outside Michigan City. If there is something important to this, you could, perhaps, consider working something into a Michigan City history section, if there is something to say, if one can point to something that he did which was significant to the history of Michigan City. However, to cite someone as one of the "Famous People" from Michigan City, it seems to me, suggests that there was something famous about the person in his or her own right. If we listed all mayors of New York City under famous people, the listing would lose meaning. Unless there's something special about Krueger, other than that he'd once been mayor, I'd again suggest that he's not exactly famous and should not be listed here. Xenophon777 (talk) 15:12, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

In Michigan City, there is a lodge, a park, a middle school, a street, and a neighborhood association named for Mayor Krueger. Within the city itself, he is famous. If you were going to visit Michigan City, he is someone you should know. If you want to know about the development of the city, he is also someone you need to know. In addition, since there is no other list titled "Notable People" for Michigan City, this seems the most reasonable place to place him.2lakes (talk) 19:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC) So I created a section titled "Leading Citizens of Michigan City," to catalogue those important people. That kind of section should probably exist in just about every geographical entry.2lakes (talk) 00:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Does he have any significance or... notability... for anyone outside of Michigan City? Xenophon777 (talk) 03:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Re Midwikid... does not seem to be a notable group for Wikipedia purposes. Propose deleting info unless notability could be shown, perhaps in a Wikipedia article with cites. Xenophon777 (talk) 18:22, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Abijah Bigelow
I noted the source, http://www.mclib.org/people.htm#abijah, which was used to suggest inclusion of Abijah Bigelow here. Oddly enough, the Wikipedia article for Abijah Bigelow makes it clear that that Abijah Bigelow stayed in, died in, and was buried in, Massachusetts. The article cites a reference in the Biographical Dictionary of the United States at http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=B000453 in support of its position. AGF, etc., my assumption is that these are, in fact, different people. Can anyone shed light on this? Xenophon777 (talk) 14:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Leading Citizens
I don't see the point of the creation of a "Leading Citizens" section in an encyclopedia. Presumably the reason for the creation of this section was to have a place to put people who aren't exactly "famous." But, then, why list them? Does this really add anything? If you want to say somethign about Elston, as a found, why not simply mention his achievements or role, along with his name, in the History section? Similarly, if Krueger is so important, why not bring out his achievements and iomportance in the history section? If it doesn't belong there, why does it belong at all? Xenophon777 (talk) 03:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Leading citizens are subject to change constantly, and are actually not especially notable, unless famous for some other reason. I've lived in Michigan City all my life, and don't know of anyone that I would consider a, "leading citizen." In a way it is just an opinion, I may consider someone a leading citizen that you may not, therefor the leading citizen section is pointless in my opinion(jburnum (talk) 12:32, 9 September 2009 (UTC))

Government
I added the government section. It's pretty rudimentary -- the name and swearing in date of the current mayor, and basic info on the town council. Noting the discussion above on current mayors, how much more info is needed here? I do think that the name of the current mayor is relevant information but that the names of town council members might be overkill. A map of city wards might be useful. Should info be added about departments, boards and commissions etc? Thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tirpse77 (talk • contribs) 13:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I, for one, would see no objection to listing the current mayor, for example, in a section on the municipal government (whether called that or not)... just not in a section called "famous people". (It would seem that every couple of years people would become famous and then un-famous...) Xenophon777 (talk) 02:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Michiana?
Is Michigan City really considered part of the Michiana area? Isn't it more likely to be considered NW Indiana, with Valparaiso, Merrillville et al? 71.239.244.136 (talk) 14:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Marijuana legality
Someone has wrongly stated that marijuana is legal in Michigan City Indiana; it is not. Marijuana and medical marijuana, so called Delta 9 products are illegal in the entire state of Indiana. This article is spreading false information. This will lead to some unfortunate circumstances for anyone who takes this seriously. There is no citation, because it is false. Once again, marijuana and marijuana products are illegal in the entire state of Indiana.

Talk:Mishawaka, Indiana

Sister City
Mishawaka has a sister city that should be listed- Shiojiri Japan... it has a park in commemoration of this relationship.

218.219.13.98 08:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Revert
I reverted to the last edit - if it's "not a suburb", perhaps the term exurb would be more appropriate? Alex 04:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

pronunciation
Just wanted to check the stress is on the mish, not on the wa, and that the wa has the vowel of body, not of father. kwami (talk) 08:56, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, it appears from dictionary.com that all both are wrong, so I'll change it. kwami (talk) 08:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

It's pronounced "Mish. Ah. Wah. Kah." - I live here. AndrewDBarker (talk) 15:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Every single person I know whom actually lives/was raised in Mishawaka or the surrounding area pronounces it /ˌmɪʃəˈwɔːkə/ (mish-uh-WAW-kuh); the stressed syllable is identical to the word walk. Hearing it pronounced any other way is a giveaway that the speaker is not native to the area (much like stressing the neighbouring city as SOUTHbend instead of the correct southBEND). PanYaLin (talk) 09:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Wrestling
Will continue to remove the wrestling reference after high school football for the following reason. Although there is no doubt a great wrestling (as well as volleyball) tradition in Mishawaka high schools, the reference is solely about football. While wrestling is big, the three Mishawaka high schools have won a combined 11 state football championships since 1920, an amazing feat, one that dwarfs the number of state championships by all other of the city's sports teams combined. The wiki article points out that Mishawaka, per capita, is perhaps the most succesful football city in the state over nearly a century. The wrestling reference dilutes this point.
 * And I'll continue to revert, since opinions aren't valid. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 17:54, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

The above comment is not an opinion. It is fact. Edit warring will be subject to review.
 * Also, when adding something, we like to have citations. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 18:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

10.2.09 edits
The legend section has been created so as not to confuse histroy with legend. Wrestling and volleball now have there own sentence. Sister cities have now been added. (See below)
 * The previous History version is fine. Stop your petty edit-warring. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 18:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Concur. The history is the best place for the legend. Could use some copyeditting and sourcing, but does not need to be seperated. —Charles Edward (Talk 18:12, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

With due respect to posters, it is not petty editing. The section reads as if the legend is history, when in fact, research has proven it is certainly almost all untrue. (See historian Merle Blue's work on the subject at the public library.) It dilutes the actually history of the city. Since it is a "story," it probably doesn't belong at all. Sectioning it off is a nice compromise.
 * You've been reported for violating WP:3RR. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 18:19, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Clearly stating it as legend in the history section would be acceptable. Other articles have similar situations, where exact source of the name is unknown, but the place has a legend about it. The legend is noteworthy and worth inclusion in the history section, as it is a historical legend. Placing a seperate section for legends, and just one paragraph, is not the best good solution. WP:Section recommends have enough content for multiple paragraphs to warrent a new section. For example, Corydon, Indiana and Kokomo, Indiana. —Charles Edward (Talk 18:24, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It appears that Crotchety Old Man may have violated 3RR first, as the addition of sister cities was not a revert. Nonetheless, although an uninvolved admin, I haven't decided whether to take action on the 3RR issue.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 19:15, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You'll want to go back and count again. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 19:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Penn High School does indeed have a Mishawaka address. All state championships have now been addresssed, including Mishawaka wrestling which COM is adamant about. Sister Cities is a great new addition. Schmucker is out as it should be (only one of many Middle Schools) and the Legend section is still included, although it is a dubious entry and poorly written. Reverting is now damaging good new material.
 * Penn is in unincorporated St. Joseph County, so it stays out. Reread the talk page, and the article history, and you'll see you're in the minority.  Further edit warring will get you blocked. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 12:51, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * And the Sister Cities addition is uncited, so don't bother re-adding until you've got a reliable source to go along with it. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 12:52, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

COM is not citing wrestling. Why? Because it is a fact. Citations are not possible for every single entry. BTW, the wrestling sentence is now in error as the number 11 refers to football titles. Open your mind COM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.133.201 (talk) 13:05, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Read above. The History section is to remain untouched.  No one wants it changed to "Legend", except you.  And citations should be easy enough to come by for adding the sister cities.  Furthermore, any more additions of any state titles need direct citations. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 13:10, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Award for least ADA complient city
I am not terribly comfortable having a bit in the article about this, referenced to a somewhat POV primary source. Is there any secondary sourcing available? If not, I really think it should go. Gtwfan52 (talk) 00:14, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will take back my warning to the IP user.  At the time it seemed the IP was removing cited work.  Here Ford  16:57, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Concurrency semantics

In computer science, concurrency semantics is a way to give meaning to concurrent systems in a mathematically rigorous way. Concurrency semantics is often based on mathematical theories of concurrency such as various process calculi, the actor model, or Petri nets.

Rohan Davey

Rohan St. Patrick Davey (born April 14, 1978) is a Jamaican-born former American football quarterback. He won two Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots, as the backup to Tom Brady in 2003 and 2004.

Early life
Davey attended Hialeah-Miami Lakes High School in Hialeah, Florida and was a letterman in football and basketball. During his junior and senior year as high school quarterback, he threw for 4,126 yards and 52 touchdowns. In basketball, he averaged 17.1 points per game as a senior. He graduated in 1997.

College career
During his time playing for LSU, Davey threw for 4,415 yards and 29 touchdowns.

As a freshman (1998), Davey was a backup to Herb Tyler and Craig Nall, and saw no playing time.

As a sophomore (1999) and a junior (2000), Davey shared the QB position with Josh Booty. As a sophomore, Davey led unranked LSU to a 35–10 victory over #17 Arkansas (televised by CBS), passing for 224 yards and three touchdowns. As a junior Davey led unranked LSU to a 38–31 OT victory over #11 Tennessee (televised by ESPN), passing for 318 yards and 4 touchdowns.

As a senior (2001), Davey had the QB position to himself (Booty had gone to the National Football League); and he led LSU to its first Top 10 finish since 1987 and its first SEC Championship since 1988. During the regular season, Davey passed for 3,347 yards, becoming the first QB in LSU history to pass for over 3,000 yards in a season. Davey also beat Peyton Manning's junior-year performance at Tennessee in 1996 (Manning threw for 3,287 yards that year), which was 9th best in SEC history. With 3,351 yards of total offense (3,347 yards passing, 4 yards rushing) on 405 plays, Davey had an average of 8.27 yards of total offense per play, making him the 5th person in SEC history to finish a season with more than 8.0 yards of total offense per play (minimum 300 plays).

Davey's best performance during the regular season was at Alabama (televised by CBS), when he passed for 528 yards (becoming the first LSU quarterback to throw for more than 500 yards in a game). By passing for 528 yards against Alabama, Davey also became #3 in SEC history for most passing yards in a game (beating Peyton Manning's 523 passing yards against Kentucky in 1997).

Davey's major victories included unranked LSU's 41–38 victory over #24 Arkansas (televised by CBS) and #22 LSU's 27–14 victory over #25 Auburn (televised by ESPN). Against Arkansas, Davey threw for 359 yards and 3 touchdowns. Against Auburn, Davey threw for 245 yards and 1 touchdown. In the SEC Championship game against #2 Tennessee, Davey had 84 yards passing before having to sit the rest of the game out due to injury.

Davey capped off his senior season by passing for 444 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Sugar Bowl against #7 Illinois (televised by ABC), leading the Tigers to a 47–34 victory. At that time, the only other LSU quarterback who had ever thrown for more than 400 yards in a game was Tommy Hodson in 1989. For his performance, Davey was named Sugar Bowl MVP. For this performance, Davey was enshrined in LSU's Hall of Fame.

As a result of his performance during the 2001 season, Davey was voted to the second team of the All-SEC Team.

Professional career
Davey was rated the fourth best quarterback in the 2002 NFL Draft by NFLDraftScout.com.

National Football League
Davey was selected by the New England Patriots coming off a record-setting career at LSU, taken in the fourth round as the 117th pick of the 2002 NFL Draft (Davey was the 6th quarterback taken in the 2002 NFL Draft, behind David Carr of Fresno State, Joey Harrington of Oregon, Patrick Ramsey of Tulane, Josh McCown of Sam Houston, and David Garrard of East Carolina).

While still with the Patriots, Davey showed potential in 2004 playing in NFL Europe. He had a record-setting season, was named "Player of the Year", and won the World Bowl with the Berlin Thunder.

Upon returning to the Patriots, he lost his back-up job to Doug Flutie and lost the third-string slot, losing that job to 7th-round pick Matt Cassel. He was subsequently released by the Patriots on August 29, 2005.

On September 28, 2005, Davey signed with the Arizona Cardinals as the quarterback behind Kurt Warner, Josh McCown, and John Navarre. On August 28, 2006, he was released.

Arena Football League
Davey was signed by the Arena Football League's New York Dragons on October 26, 2006. He played in his first career game on March 4, 2007, replacing an ineffective Leon Murray at the start of the second half. He finished the game having completed 12-of-21 passes for 131 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Following this game, he was named the Dragons' starting quarterback. Davey was waived in 2008, and signed a contract with the Cleveland Gladiators on April 3 of that year. He was released when the league went bankrupt. After sitting out for five seasons, Davey returned in 2013 as a member of the San Antonio Talons.

Personal life
Davey is the cousin of football player Trevon Coley.

In April 2023, Davey was named the new head football coach at Ascension Christian High School in Gonzales, Louisiana.

Talk:Montpelier, Indiana

Untitled
Montpelier is a small town on the Salamonie River, about 40 miles south of Fort Wayne. It is in Blacford County (County Seat - Hartford City) which makes it the second largest town in the second smallest county in Indiana.

Montpelier was a boom town during the late 1800's and early 1900's when a large natural gas deposit was being tapped. Current industry is an extruded rubber factory, a screw making plant, and a cardboard box company. A large grain tranfer station dominates the "skyline".

The high school closed in 1969 when the county school consolidated to the Blackford County school system. The Montpelier class of 1969 was, by any account, the best graduating class in the history of the city. The town fathers and mothers wept openly when they realized what had been lost. The shining star that is the class of '69 burst onto the world in ways that are still reverberating today.--Flyboy97 02:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Statistical Lab

The computer program Statistical Lab (Statistiklabor) is an explorative and interactive toolbox for statistical analysis and visualization of data. It supports educational applications of statistics in business administration, economics, social sciences and humanities. The program is developed and constantly advanced by the Center for Digital Systems of the Free University of Berlin. Their website states that the source code is available to private users under the GPL. So if a commercial user wishes to obtain a copy, then they must do so indirectly, from a private user who already has a copy (any of their employees will do).

Simple or complex statistical problems can be simulated, edited and solved individually with the Statistical Lab. It can be extended by using external libraries. Via these libraries, it can also be adapted to individual and local demands like specific target groups. The versatile graphical diagrams allow demonstrative visualization of underlying data.

The Statistical Lab is the successor of Statistik interaktiv!. In contrast to the commercial SPSS the Statistical Lab is didactically driven. It is focused on providing facilities for users with little statistical experience. It combines data frames, contingency tables, random numbers, matrices in a user friendly virtual worksheet. This worksheet allows users to explore the possibilities of calculations, analysis, simulations and manipulation of data.

For mathematical calculations, the Statistical Lab uses the R package, which is a free implementation of the language S Plus (originally developed by Bell Laboratories).

I really don't care what article survives, but they are dupes. ccwaters 21:12, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Godzilla (1978 TV series)

Godzilla is an American animated monster television series produced by Hanna-Barbera, in association with Henry G. Saperstein. The series aired on NBC on September 9, 1978 with the title The Godzilla Power Hour. The series continued to air until 1981, packaged with other series under various titles.

The Godzilla Power Hour consisted of half-hour episodes of Godzilla and Jana of the Jungle. A total of 13 original episodes were produced in 1978, with the first eight airing as part of The Godzilla Power Hour. On November 4, 1978, the show was expanded to 90 minutes with the addition of Jonny Quest reruns and retitled The Godzilla Super 90. Split off into its own half-hour, the show aired in its own half-hour timeslot as simply Godzilla on September 8, 1979, and then as The Godzilla/Globetrotters Adventure Hour on November 10, 1979, before another repackaging as The Godzilla/Dynomutt Hour on September 27, 1980, and then The Godzilla/Hong Kong Phooey Hour until its cancellation on May 16, 1981.

The series acquired the retronym of Godzilla: The Original Animated Series for its DVD release.

Premise
The series follows the adventures of a team of scientists on the Calico, a hydrofoil research vessel, headed by Captain Carl Majors. The rest of the crew include scientist Dr. Quinn Darien, her nephew Pete Darien and her research assistant Brock Borden. Also along for the ride is Godzooky, the "cowardly nephew" of Godzilla and Pete's best friend, in a comic foil role in the show. Godzooky can clumsily attempt to fly using the small wings under his arms. Whenever Godzooky tries to breathe fire, he usually just coughs up smoke rings.

The group often call upon Godzilla by using a special signaller when in danger, such as attacks by other giant monsters. Also, Godzooky can roar to summon Godzilla. Godzilla's size in the animated series shifts radically, sometimes within a single episode or even a single scene. For instance, Godzilla's claws can wrap around a large ship, and only minutes later the team of scientists fit rather neatly on Godzilla's palm. In addition, Godzilla's trademark atomic breath is altered so he breathes simple fire. He can also shoot laser beams from his eyes much like Superman's heat vision.

Voice cast

 * Jeff David as Captain Carl Majors
 * Brenda Thompson as Dr. Quinn Darien
 * Hilly Hicks as Brock Borden
 * Al Eisenmann as Pete Darien
 * Don Messick as Godzooky
 * B.J. Ward as Jana of the Jungle
 * Michael Bell as Dr. Ben Cooper
 * Ted Cassidy as Montaro/Godzilla (vocal effects)

Production
Toho Studios had considered adapting Godzilla for American TV animation as far back as the late 1960s when they entered negotiations with Filmation for an animated series based on the property that was intended for air during the 1969-70 television season, however the deal ultimately collapsed.

In regard to the origin of the series, Joseph Barbera came up with the idea of licensing Godzilla. He explained in a 1990s interview "My job back then was to dig up new characters, new ideas, new shows, and I had wanted to do Godzilla for a while. I liked the monster thing, and the way it looked, and I thought we could do a lot with it. So I contacted Hank Saperstein, who was a very good friend and we got talking about it. Then there was an executive at the network who wanted to get into the act, and urged us to lighten the storyline up. So, I came up with the character Godzooky, who was like his son. The show had a sort of father-son relationship, which we had done before on shows like Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy and Jonny Quest." Doug Wildey, creator of Jonny Quest, came on board as producer. DePatie–Freleng Enterprises had initially been slated to produce the Godzilla series while Hanna-Barbera was to produce The New Fantastic Four, but when DePatie–Freleng acquired the rights to the Fantastic Four NBC brokered a deal between the studios wherein DePatie–Freleng would produce The New Fantastic Four while Hanna-Barbera would produce Godzilla.

Barbera said that he wanted the series to be more-or-less a straight adaptation of the movie series, but, "When they start telling you in Standards and Practices, 'Don't shoot any flame at anybody, don't step on any buildings or cars,' then pretty soon, they've taken away all the stuff he represents. That became the problem, to maintain a feeling of Godzilla and at the same time cut down everything that he did. We managed to get a fair show out of it. It was OK. Godzooky kind of got the kids going."

Broadcast
Godzilla originally aired in these following formats on NBC:
 * The Godzilla Power Hour (September 9, 1978 – October 28, 1978)
 * The Godzilla Super 90 (November 4, 1978 – September 1, 1979)
 * Godzilla (September 8, 1979 – November 3, 1979)
 * The Godzilla/Globetrotters Adventure Hour (November 10, 1979 – September 20, 1980)
 * The Godzilla/Dynomutt Hour (September 27, 1980 – November 15, 1980)
 * The Godzilla/Hong Kong Phooey Hour (November 22, 1980 – May 16, 1981)
 * Godzilla (May 23, 1981 – September 5, 1981)

The Godzilla Power Hour consisted of half-hour episodes of Godzilla and Jana of the Jungle. A total of 13 original episodes were produced in 1978, with the first eight airing as part of The Godzilla Power Hour. On November 4, 1978, the show was expanded to 90 minutes with the addition of Jonny Quest reruns and retitled The Godzilla Super 90.

For the second season beginning on September 15, 1979, the show was separated from its package programs and aired in its own half-hour timeslot as simply Godzilla. The original plan was to keep it as part of another 90-minute arc, only it was to be paired up with episodes of The New Shmoo and The Thing. The planned title was Godzilla Meets the Shmoo and The Thing. However, these plans dissolved and the show was simply aired on its own in its own half-hour timeslot. Hanna-Barbera would pair episodes of The New Fred and Barney Show with the Shmoo and the Thing instead as both Fred and Barney Meet the Shmoo and Fred and Barney Meet the Thing. Two months later, episodes of Godzilla and The Super Globetrotters were packaged together as The Godzilla/Globetrotters Adventure Hour which ran until September 20, 1980.

On September 27, 1980, after 26 half-hour episodes, the show went into reruns and Godzilla was once again teamed up with other Hanna-Barbera characters: the first was The Godzilla/Dynomutt Hour (also appearing in this series were reruns of 1971's The Funky Phantom), which ran until November 15, 1980, followed by The Godzilla/Hong Kong Phooey Hour which ran until May 16, 1981. On May 23, the show returned to the half-hour format as Godzilla and the last regular showing aired on September 5, 1981 (to be replaced by The Smurfs, which would last three times as long as Godzilla did). Throughout the 1980s until the late 1990s, the series rested in limbo (with the exception of a limited VHS videocassette release of two episodes). Since 1993, it has been rebroadcast on TNT, Cartoon Network and Boomerang, as well as on Retro TV for a brief time on Saturday mornings between 2015 and 2016.

Home media
The first 13 episodes from the first season were released on DVD, in three separate volumes titled Godzilla: The Original Animated Series. Volume 1 contains the first four episodes, Volume 2 contains the next four and Volume 3 contains the last five. As of November 9, 2011, all episodes from the first season became available for streaming on Netflix and Hulu. The second-season episodes of Godzilla have never been officially released on any home media format. On August 9, 2021, Toho on their official Godzilla YouTube channel has released the entire series in a set of three parts per episode.

Spoofs

 * In response to the Y2K hype, Cartoon Network created a short – "Godzilla vs. the Y2K Bug" (1999) – in which the Calico is attacked by a giant personified, talking Y2K Bug. The Godzilla calling device turns out to be useless this time, because Captain Majors forgot to update the embedded microchip.
 * Dr. Quinn Darien appeared as Dr. Gale Melody, a music expert, in the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episode "Shoyu Weenie" voiced by Grey DeLisle.

Natsilane

Natsilane is the human hero of the "Blackfish" creation myth, one of the Tlingit and Haida stories about how the various supernatural animal species from the Tlingit culture of the American Northwest coast were created. These stories follow an almost dreamtime-like description of humans and other animal species living completely harmoniously. The animals are depicted as demi-gods, and are always referred to as proper singular nouns (for instance, "Raccoon" and "Raven"). There are other similar stories including how Raccoon got the rings on his tail and why Puma hides in the forest so much.

Blackfish is arguably the most important creature in Haida culture. Blackfish is also highly revered in Tlingit culture because of his apparent affinity with humans. He represents an extremely powerful force of nature, deadly and terrifying to every creature except man, whom he is said to look after. The story describes why this is so. There are many variations to the tale, some considerably more brutal than others, and the exact details vary widely according to the storyteller, but the main theme of the story is always the same.

Story
The tale starts with a young warrior, Natsilane, who is destined to become chief due to his skills, intelligence and generally pleasant demeanour. His brothers are extremely jealous of this, and plot to depose him. The brothers take Natsilane out to sea fishing, taking him further away from the shore than they have ever been before. As he becomes concerned, the brothers throw Natsilane overboard and row away.

As Natsilane is beginning to drown, he is found and rescued by Sea otter, who floats him to a large island saying it is too far back to the mainland for Sea otter to help him back. Instead, he promises to look after Natsilane and shows him the best hunting and fishing grounds. Once Natsilane is settled on his new island, alone, Sea otter confers one last gift to him, a pouch of seeds, and instructs Natsilane to sow them. Natsilane does so, and over the years the seeds grow into a bewildering array of tree species, all of which are now native in the Pacific Northwest. Natsilane uses wood from the trees to carve tools and a boat.

In appreciation of Sea otter, Natsilane then tries to carve a new totem. He tries all the trees, but settles on using a large yellow cedar tree and carves a huge fish from it, and leaves it on the shore for Sea otter to find. The next morning, when Natsilane goes down to the shore, the fish carving is gone and in the bay is swimming Blackfish, the first killer whale. With a boat and supplies, Natsilane travels back to his home, guided by Blackfish. When he arrives, he finds his brothers out fishing again, squabbling. He orders Blackfish to destroy their boat and drown his brothers, which it does immediately. When it returns, Natsilane orders that from this day forward it must never harm a human again, and that when it finds a human in trouble at sea it must help him. He then sends the whale off to sea. Natsilane returns to his village, which had been terrorised by his brothers, and becomes chief.

Variant
In another variant, Natsilane has married into a distant village; he is a skilled carver and hunter, and it is the jealous older brothers of Natsilane's wife who betray him. During a sea lion hunt, Natsilane leaps onto a rocky island, wounding a sea lion with his spear; rather than help, the older brothers-in-law fail to follow and maroon him on the deserted island, despite the protestation of the youngest brother-in-law, who idolizes Natsilane. As night falls, without a way to start a fire, Natsilane begins to freeze until he is rescued by a sea lion in the shape of a man.

It turns out his rescuer has been sent by the King of the sea lions, asking Natsilane to help save his son; Natsilane recognizes the king's son as the one he had wounded during the hunt. He is able to pull the broken spear from the sea lion's side, allowing the infected wound to drain. Overjoyed, the king safely conducts Natsilane back to his adopted village, where he briefly reunites with his wife, who had presumed him drowned after her brothers returned from the hunt without him. She brings his carving tools for him, and he takes them with him into the surrounding forest to camp in secret and plot his vengeance.

He first carves a Blackfish from spruce; testing the carving in a series of four pools leading to the cove, it briefly floats, then sinks in the first pool. The second carving is from red cedar; it leaps from the first pool to the second, but shortly thereafter sinks like the spruce carving. The third carving is from hemlock, which leaps from the first and second pools, but sinks in the third. His fourth carving, from yellow cedar, swims out to sea after successfully navigating the pools. Natsilane praises the King of the sea lions and instructs the yellow cedar Blackfish to sink the canoe of his brothers-in-law, who have set out on another hunt, but to spare the youngest.

After successfully sinking the canoe, Blackfish returns to Natsilane, who instructs him to never hurt another human; the youngest brother-in-law washes up ashore in the cove and eventually succeeds his father to become village chief. As for Natsilane, he is never seen again, although some claim to have seen him riding two killer whales far out to sea.

Interpretation
The story has obvious themes of self-preservation, a reliance on the earth and karma, but it must be interpreted in a Tlingit mindset, where life and animals are equal to (if not more worthy than) humans. The Blackfish therefore represents the force of nature that can be achieved when nature and humankind are joined (whilst the carving is created by Natsilane, it is assumed Sea otter brings it to life). The rather brutal ending should not be misinterpreted either: this is a happy ending, where good and the natural world (Natsilane and the Blackfish) have prevailed over man alone (the brothers).

In the wild, orcas do not attack people; it is not clear if this is due to orca societal norms or because humans are not part of their regular diet. The only known orca-related human fatalities have all occurred at marine mammal parks where orcas were held in captivity.

In popular culture

 * A minor human character in the animated Disney series Gargoyles is named Natsilane.
 * A variant of the Natsilane story (captioned as 'Natsaclane') is recounted in the 1993 film Free Willy (timemark: 47 minutes).

Vitcos

Vitcos was a residence of Inca nobles and a ceremonial center of the Neo-Inca State (1537–1572). The archaeological site of ancient Vitcos, called Rosaspata, is in the Vilcabamba District of La Convención Province, Cusco Region in Peru. The ruins are on a ridge overlooking the junction of two small rivers and the village of Pucyura. The Incas had occupied Vilcabamba, the region in which Vitcos is located, about 1450 CE, establishing major centers at Machu Picchu, Choquequirao, Vitcos, and Vilcabamba. Vitcos was often the residence of the rulers of the Neo-Inca state until the Spanish conquest of this last stronghold of the Incas in 1572.

The location of Vitcos was later forgotten until 1911 when explorer Hiram Bingham identified the ruins known to local Peruvians as Rosaspata (Rusaspata) as ancient Vitcos. The ruins of the Inca ceremonial center of Ñusta Hispana (the "White Rock") are about 1 km south of the Inca palace that is the outstanding feature of Rosaspata.

The Vilcabama region in which Vitcos is located is extremely rugged, occupying the north-eastern slopes of the Andes and sloping down to the Amazon Basin. The terrain includes snow-covered mountains, forest, lowland jungle, and rivers running through deep canyons. Access and transportation within the area was difficult and would hinder Spanish efforts to destroy the last outposts of the Inca Empire.

The Incas had occupied the Vilcabamba region since about 1450 CE, establishing major centers at Vitcos, Machu Picchu, Choquequirao, and Vilcabamba. Thus, the Incas were familiar with the region when Inca emperor, Manco Inca Yupanqui, won the Battle of Ollantaytambo against the Spanish and their Indian allies in January 1537. Despite the victory Manco was under intense pressure from the Spanish. He decided that Ollantaytambo was too close to Cusco, which was controlled by the Spanish, so he withdrew westward to Vitcos. Almagro sent his lieutenant Rodrigo Orgóñez in pursuit with 300 Spaniards and numerous Indian allies. In July 1537, Orgoñez occupied and sacked Vitcos taking many prisoners, but Manco escaped.

Manco Inca survived another Spain raid in 1539 by Gonzalo Pizarro, 300 Spanish soldiers, and Indian allies. The Spanish and the Incas fought a battle at Huayna Pukara (Huayna Fort), west of Vitcos. Several Spaniards and Indians were killed, but Manco again escaped. Pizarro stayed in the region for more than two months searching for Manco unsuccessfully, but capturing Manco's principal wife. The Spaniards wrote of the region that "great resources are needed to undertake a penetration of that land. It can be done only with very heavy expenditure." As the two Spanish raids demonstrated, Vitcos was accessible to the Spanish and Manco developed Vilcabamba as a more remote refuge. However, throughout the decades that the Neo-Inca state survived, Vitcos would continue to be the residence of many royal Incas and the site of many religious ceremonies, especially at the nearby shrine of Ñusta Hisp'ana (Yurak Rumi, also called the "White Rock). The Incas preferred Vitcos as a place of residence because of its higher elevation (2980 m) than Vilcabamba (1450 m). Vitcos has a cooler climate and the environment was more similar to the highland home of the Incas.

Spanish attempts to conquer Vilcabamba floundered because of internecine warfare among the Spaniards. A group of seven Spanish renegades, included the assassin of Francisco Pizzaro, took refuge with Manco Inca. In 1544, they murdered him in Vitcos in an attempt to win back favor with the Spanish crown. The Spanish fled, but Manco's guards pursued and killed them. The decades following Manco's death were mostly peaceful as the Incas survived in the remote remnant of their empire while the Spanish were consolidating their conquest elsewhere.

In 1570, relations between the Spanish and the Incas were sufficiently friendly that two Roman Catholic friars were allowed to settle in villages near Vitcos. The friars repaid their hosts by leading their congregation in an attack which damaged the shrine of Ňusta Hisp'ana. One of the priests was expelled. The other one was killed by the Incas, accused of killing by poison Emperor Titu Cusi Yupanqui, son of Manco Inca. Titu Cusi's brother Tupac Amaru became emperor.

Tupac Amaru was much more hostile to the Spaniards than Tuti Cusi and his supporters killed an envoy sent by Vicerory Francisco de Toledo. In response Toledo ordered the invasion of Vilcabamba by two armies totaling more than 300 Spaniards and 2,000 allies, including 500 Cañari, long-time allies of the Spaniards. In June 1572, the Spanish force was successful, capturing Vitcos, Vilcabamba, and Emperor Tupac Amaru and ending the Neo Inca state.

Rediscovery
The location of Vitcos was forgotten in the centuries following the conquest of the Incas. In his 1911 expedition Hiram Bingham III was searching for Vilcabamba, the last capital of the Incas. Following descriptions left by various conquistadors, he came upon a site called "Rosaspata" by local villagers. Through the same descriptions that had led him there, he was able to determine that he was in fact at the palace of Vitcos and oracle of Ñusta Hisp'ana, also called Chuqip'allta. After cursory mapping of both sites he continued on in search of the last city of the Inca. Knowing roughly where in relation to Vitcos he might find Vilcabamba, he continued on what he believed was, and actually was, the road to his goal, and he both rediscovered and correctly identified both Vitcos and Vilcabamba.

In the 1980s, Vincent Lee's work in the Vilcabamba led to his finding and description of more than thirty buildings and engineered structures on the eastern flank of the hill between Vitcos and Chuquipalta. Amongst these are kalankas (meeting houses), several qollqa (storehouses), and a large usnu (religious observation platform), as well as terraces and built-up trails.

The Rosaspata ruin
Vitcos stands on the northern side of the hill between the modern villages Huancacalle and Pucyara, and is the principal portion of a complex that covers the entire hill and portions of the valleys to the south and east. South of the hill there is Ñusta Hispana, also called Chuqip'allta and the White Rock, a giant carved stone said to have been an Inca oracle, and a series of terraces that stretch along the eastern side of the hill within the valley, which are believed to have been decorative or ceremonial gardens.

The palace itself consists of two groups of buildings. The upper group is made up of eight large rooms, arranged in four pairs of two rooms back to back, all joined by a common outer wall. The common wall has doors that lead to passages between the pairs. Each room has three doors to the exterior of the common wall, but no doors to either the room behind it of the passageways between the four pairs. Each pair of rooms had a common roof.

To the north of the upper group is a terrace wall, below which is the lower group of buildings. This group is made up of a dozen or more buildings arranged around an open courtyard. The exact number of buildings in this group is unclear, as it is in considerably worse condition than the upper group.

Bingham measured the royal residence as being 245 feet long by 43 feet wide, and stated, "There were no windows, but it was lighted by thirty doorways, fifteen in front and the same in back." He went on to say, "It contained ten large rooms, besides three hallways running from front to rear." The lintels were made of solid block of white granite. Opposite the long palace, Bingham measured a structure 78 feet long and 25 feet wide, "containing doors on both sides, no niches, and no evidence of careful workmanship."

Valentines Park

Valentines Park is a 52 ha park, south of Gants Hill, it is the largest green space in the London Borough of Redbridge. The park was originally the grounds of Valentines Mansion, a residence built in 1696. Valentines Park holds a Green Flag Award and was voted one of the ten best parks in Britain in 2019.

The park, including Valentines Mansion, is managed on behalf of Redbridge Council by Vision RCL, a registered charity.

History
Valentines Park was put together by various purchases and gifts of land, starting in 1898 and culminating in the 1920s.

Cranbrook Estate
In 1899 the Cranbrook Estate, which now makes up an area in the west of the park, was about to be sold for housing. The Municipal Borough of Ilford had acquired its first section of parkland a year previously and was keen to enlarge its size as soon as land became available. Local officials believed that, unless an area of "relaxation and pleasure" was retained for the growing urban population, all traces of a rural Ilford could be lost. The park was opened in the same year under the name of Cranbrook Park.

Valentines Mansion

Valentines Mansion was built in 1696 for Lady Tillotson, the widow of John Tillotson, Archbishop of Canterbury. For twenty years until around 1780 it was the family home of Sir Charles Raymond who had considerable interests in the East India Company as a ship owner and later became a banker. The house remained a family house until Sarah Ingleby, its last inhabitant, died on 3 January 1906. Following the death of the mansion's owner the local council acquired the remainder of its grounds and expanded the park. It is now a Grade II listed building.

Cricket Grounds
County Cricket was first played at Valentines Park in Ilford in 1922 and a pavilion was completed a year later after a Mrs Ingleby, who owned 136 acres of land surrounding it, donated the venue to Ilford CC. The first ever county match to be played on a Sunday was played there on 15 May 1966 between Essex and Somerset, with 6,000 spectators attending.

Features

During 2007–2008 Valentines Park underwent an extensive renovation financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund and by the owners, the Council of the London Borough of Redbridge. The survival of formal Rococo features in a suburban park have given the park great heritage value, the park itself is Grade II Listed with several constructions in the park also holding listed status such as the Gardeners Cottage (Grade II ) and the railings and gates (Grade II* ).

Valentines Mansion (Grade II*) is now open to visit as a historic house and is hired out as a wedding venue.

Some of the parks other features include:

 * Boating Lake
 * Bandstand
 * Children's Play Area
 * Cricket Grounds
 * Cycle routes
 * Dog Exercise Area
 * Fitness Equipment
 * Picnic Area
 * Tennis Court
 * Parkrun route
 * Public Toilets
 * Walled Garden

The park previously had a lido but this was demolished in 1995.

Ecology
Valentines Park has a number of mature trees (including tulip trees, Scots pine, horse chestnuts, limes, and cedars of Lebanon) large yuccas, and manicured beds of shrubs other plants. The park is popular with birdwatchers and the species that have been spotted there include Marsh Tits and Turtle Doves. It is also home to the Valentines Park Field Maple, planted in the 17th century and one of the Great Trees of London.

In popular culture
Valentines Park is one of parks claimed to be the subject of the Small Faces hit, Itchycoo Park.

It was the filming location of season 2 of The Great British Bake Off.

Johann Nelböck

Johann "Hans" Nelböck (May 12, 1903 – February 3, 1954) was an Austrian former student and murderer of Moritz Schlick, the founder of the group of philosophers and scientists known as the Vienna Circle.

After attending the gymnasium in Wels, Nelböck studied philosophy at the University of Vienna from 1925 on with Moritz Schlick, who was his doctoral advisor, and graduated as a Doctor of Philosophy on March 21, 1931, with the doctoral thesis "The Importance of Logic in Empirism and Positivism". Twice Nelböck was sent to a mental hospital with the diagnosis of schizoid personality disorder. He had threatened to kill Schlick.

On June 22, 1936, Nelböck shot Schlick in the chest, killing him on one of the central staircases of the University of Vienna. The substantiation of the judgment of the Provincial Court for Criminal Matters of Vienna (dated May 26, 1937) summed up: On June 22, 1936, at 9.20 a.m., the defendant shot and killed Dr. Moritz Schlick, professor at the School of Philosophy, on the premises of the University of Vienna on the main stairway leading to the School of Philosophy when Dr. Schlick was on the way to his lecture. According to the findings of the autopsy, Dr. Schlick was hit by 4 bullets which were shot from a pistol of the caliber 6.35mm. [...] The [...] injuries were absolutely lethal, and Dr. Schlick did indeed die at the spot where he had fallen down even before medical help arrived at the scene of the crime.

The court declared Nelböck to be fully compos mentis, he confessed to the act, was detained without any resistance, but was unrepentant. He used the judicial proceedings as a chance to present himself and his ideology in the public. A significant part of his defence was the claim that Schlick's anti-metaphysical philosophy had undermined his native moral restraints, a line of thought which Austrian Nazis, asserting Schlick's Jewish connections within the Vienna Circle, quickly developed and exploited. In another version of the events Nelböck covered all political causes up and claimed, that he was motivated by jealousy over his failed attachment to the female student Sylvia Borowicka, leading to a paranoid delusion about Schlick as his rival and persecutor.

Nelböck was found guilty and sentenced, but in the event he became a distorted cause célèbre, around which crystallized the growing nationalist and anti-Jewish sentiments in the city. Although a German Protestant from minor Prussian nobility, Schlick was subsequently characterized in the press as a pivotal figure in disaffected Jewish circles, and the murder was applauded by Vienna's austrofascists.

On May 26, 1937, Nelböck was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment, but only two years later - after the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany in 1938 - asked for a pardon. In his application he pointed out "that by his act and the result elimination of a Jewish teacher who propagated doctrines alien and detrimental to the nation he rendered National Socialism a service and also suffered for National Socialism as a consequence of his act. Since the world-view, the rightness of which he recognized even then and out of which he committed his act, is now the ruling national ideology, he considers it a hardship if he still has to remain in a disadvantaged position because of an act which sprang from his world-view." Because the Senior Public Prosecutor concluded that Nelböck's act was accompanied primarily by personal motives, Nelböck was only released on probation on October 11, 1938.

From 1938 on, Nelböck worked in the geological department of the wartime economic oil authority. When the period of probation ended in 1943, he worked as a technical employee in the Main Measurement Office.

In 1951, Nelböck sued Victor Kraft, a member of the Vienna Circle, who had called Nelböck a "paranoid psychopath" in his (Kraft's) book Der Wiener Kreis. Kraft agreed to an out-of-court settlement.

Wesley Eure

Wesley Eure (born Wesley Eure Loper; August 17, 1951) is an American actor, singer, author, producer, director and educator. He is best known for appearing as Michael Horton on the American soap opera Days of Our Lives from 1974 to 1981, during which he also starred on the popular children's television series Land of the Lost as Will Marshall. He later hosted the popular children's game show Finders Keepers in 1987 and 1988, and co-created the children's educational television show Dragon Tales in 1999. He has also published several books, produced plays and been an organizer and fundraiser for several charities.

Early life and education
Eure was born Wesley Eure Loper in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on August 17, 1951. His father left the family when he was two years old, so his mother, Mary Jane Loper (February 6, 1927 - January 25, 2011), moved him and his elder sister, Gai (born September 10, 1950), to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where Eure's grandmother lived. While Eure grew up in Mississippi, his mother obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology and began teaching. She subsequently took positions in Texas and Illinois, and became a drug abuse counselor with the state of Nevada. The Lopers moved to Las Vegas, where his mother ran a methadone clinic and hosted a radio talk show about drug abuse. He spent his senior year of high school in Las Vegas.

Career
Eure wanted to be an actor since the age of five, his love of performing stemming from a need for attention. While the family lived in Illinois, he enrolled in a summer program at Northwestern University, where he took acting lessons and won an award. His first break came when he was 17 years old and working part-time at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas selling artwork. He was hired as a driver for Robert Goulet and Carol Lawrence during their summer tour. He spent most of 1968 and 1969 as their driver.

After the Goulet-Lawrence tour ended in New York City, Eure decided he would not return to high school and stayed. After a few short months of auditions and odd jobs, in 1970 Eure became a cast member at the American Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Connecticut. Hired more for his ability to make the cast and crew laugh than his acting skill, Eure worked with a dialect coach to get rid of his deep Southern accent. During his time in Stratford, he worked with Jane Alexander in The Tempest, and appeared in Mourning Becomes Electra, Merry Wives of Windsor, Twelfth Night, and many original works produced by the company. At the Bucks County Playhouse in Pennsylvania, he performed in West Side Story (portraying "Action" of the Jets) and then joined a musical comedy revue and traveled throughout the East Coast resort areas.

Television
Eure moved to Los Angeles in 1973 after discovering it was cheaper to live there, but offered just as much opportunity to become an actor. He was hired to star in a pilot for a Kaye Ballard TV series, The Organic Vegetables, created and produced by the team behind The Monkees.

When that series was not picked up due to the 1973 writers' strike, Eure answered an ad in an industry trade publication to audition for a television show. He learned that David Cassidy was threatening to leave The Partridge Family, and that the audition was for a role as a "neighbor boy" who would take over the lead in the family band from Cassidy. Eure won the audition, but never joined The Partridge Family after Cassidy agreed to stay on. The show was canceled before the next season started.

In 1974, Eure auditioned for and won a role on NBC's Days of Our Lives. Eure had previously met producer Sid Krofft and was committed to do an audition for a new children's show he was working on. When Eure flew to New York City at the request of Broadway producer David Merrick to try out for a role in a theatrical production of Candide, he didn't want to audition for Krofft due to his commitment to Days (and because he'd be playing a 16-year-old boy). But Eure auditioned and won the role of Will Marshall on Land of the Lost. He kept his commitment to both shows after the Kroffts repeatedly asked him to star on Land of the Lost. From 1974 to 1981, Eure starred on NBC's Days of Our Lives, playing the role of Mike Horton. He also starred as Will Marshall in Sid and Marty Krofft's children's adventure series, Land of the Lost from 1974 to 1976, filming this show and Days of Our Lives simultaneously. (The gold chain he wore on the show was a gift from his then-lover.) As a publicity stunt, Eure agreed to be billed simply as "Wesley" on Land of the Lost, although he later regretted the decision. Eure's stardom in the 1970s led to a number of appearances on game shows. He was repeatedly asked to appear on both Password Plus and Match Game. He appeared on Password so often that he became a semi-regular on the show. He earned $2,000 to do a week's worth of shows (five shows), which took a single day to shoot.

In 1987, Eure became host of the Nickelodeon children's game show Finders Keepers, and continued in this role through 1988. When the show was sold to Fox for its 1989 (and final) season, Fox declined to hire Eure as host and replaced him with Larry Toffler.

Eure co-produced, wrote and acted in Fox Television's hidden-camera show Totally Hidden Video (which aired from 1989 to 1992). He also co-created Dragon Tales, PBS Kids's Emmy-nominated animated series for preschoolers which began airing in 1999, and directed Spy TV for NBC in 2001.

Eure also hosted an educational DVD called Power Over Poison to teach kids how to avoid poisons, produced by WQED, the PBS station in Pittsburgh. Channel 9 TV in Australia hired Eure to be the permanent host of their Tonight Show, but lost a ten-month immigration battle with Actor's Equity in Australia.

Film
Eure appeared in 1978 as a murderer in The Toolbox Murders and as an evil man who is eaten by snakes in Jennifer. While filming Jennifer, Eure claims he had a difficult time working with the various snakes on the set, including the large boa constrictor that features in the climax. He later appeared in Hanna-Barbera's 1979 comedy C.H.O.M.P.S., which also starred Valerie Bertinelli, Red Buttons, Jim Backus, Hermione Baddeley, and Conrad Bain.

Eure and Land of the Lost co-star Kathy Coleman filmed cameo appearances for the 2009 film Land of the Lost starring Will Ferrell, but were edited out of the final cut.

He appeared in the 2014 independent thriller film, Sins of Our Youth as Police Chief Kaplan.

Music
Whenever his acting career seemed stalled, Eure continued to sing. He became friends with Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett, and some of his music was produced by Bobby Sherman, though a full album was never completed. Motown Records placed him under contract, and he was in a boy band whose music was produced by Mike Curb. He also sang a few times with the Jackson Five. He had a Las Vegas act at Harrah's casino.

Books
Eure lived briefly in Bali after leaving Totally Hidden Video. In 1992, Eure published his first children's novel The Red Wings of Christmas. It has been called "the new American classic" by CNN, and was optioned by Disney for a full-length animated feature. The book was illustrated by Ron Palillo who played Arnold Horshack on the 1970s TV series Welcome Back, Kotter.

Eure's fifth book, A Fish Out of Water, is his first pre-schooler book. The story of a bird and a fish that fall in love and make it work, it is used by schools to teach racial tolerance. The graduate art students at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina illustrated it. He also wrote The Whale That Ate the Storm.

Knightsbridge Publishing released two of his humor books, Fun with Fax and On-the-Wall Off-the-Wall Office Humor.

Teaching
For many years, Eure has given interactive lectures in elementary and secondary schools about reading and writing.

Theatre
Eure has starred on the stage in shows like Bus Stop, Butterflies Are Free, Love Sex and the IRS, as well as the musicals I Love My Wife and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. His company Games at Sea created, produced and directed on-board entertainment for cruise ships such as Crystal Cruises and Celebrity Cruise Line. For several years, Eure's Blues Brothers 2000 live stage show appeared at Universal Studios Hollywood. He co-produced a Stephen Schwartz musical titled Snapshots.

Philanthropy
For many years, he was a fundraiser for the March of Dimes, and has also raised money through telethons and fund-raising campaigns for groups like the Variety Club and the Special Olympics. Eure has been a fundraiser for a number of HIV/AIDS causes, including hosting the LalaPOOLooza HIV/AIDS fundraiser in Palm Springs, California, for many years, the Desert AIDS Project benefit and raising funds and assisting with Project Angel Food, which feeds homebound AIDS patients.

Honors
In 2007, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs, California, Walk of Stars was dedicated to him.

Personal life
While working on Days of our Lives, Eure supported his mother as she attended law school in her 50s. After graduating at the top of her class, she became his personal manager and attorney.

Eure was the travel editor for Palm Springs Life magazine, writing a bi-monthly travel column.

In the 1970s, Eure met and had a relationship with actor Richard Chamberlain.

Gondwanaland (Steroid Maximus album)

Gondwanaland is an album from Steroid Maximus. It was released in 1992 by Big Cat Records.

Gondwanaland is Ectopic Entertainment #ECT ENTS 003.

The album is the second Steroid Maximus album of instrumental soundtrack music to an imaginary film. Ira Robbins of Trouser Press called the music "stunning in its mischievous diversion of traditional concepts", describing the music as "Wagnerian orchestration, exotic ethnic elements, blaring big-band swing, continental drift and found-sound constructions".
