Is that a Cactus in your pocket or are you just happy to not see me?
Whenever you can update that friggin' NYC 2600 website of yours then I can be happy. :)

I also am currently trying to set up a project, I am slightly set back due to router failure but I will be back on track in a day or two. I will show it off next meeting.

P.S. Boo.

NYC2600
I couldn't help but notice that you generously linked to Wikimedia New York City on the NYC2600 website. Do you think it might make sense for Wikimedia New York City to do a meetup in conjunction with NYC2600 sometime? How large are the usual meetings you have — and is to the group open to the relatively non-technical people (such as myself) who form a large proportion of Wikipedians/Wikimedians? Also, how aware are you of other NYC-area groups that Wikimedia New York City might be able to collaborate with — I know just a little about Columbia Free Culture, but that's it. Thanks for your help.--Pharos 19:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding an early post of yours asking if anyone was in contact with or could contact Star Trek Phase 2 producers
Hi Rob T.

Regarding an earlier post asking if anyone was in contact with Star Trek New Voyages: Phase 2 producers, well, now you are. :-)

I am pretty new to using Wikipedia for anything other than searches, but am always available to chime in on the talk section of the STP2 articles, or via our website's contact link. Thanks for your efforts in keeping the page about us non-defaced and accurate!

Re: We Are the World
Thanks for choosing to record the article. I believe 'Kragen' is pronounced 'Kray - Gin', with the 'G' being pronounced the same way it is on 'Git', as opposed to 'Ginger'. It's a hard 'G', not a soft 'G'. His surname is spoken at 4:39 here if you are still unsure. Thanks again for choosing the article! :)  Pyrrhus 16 ''' 13:30, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

A spoken version of introduction of article (Steinway & Sons)
Hi Rob T Firefly,

I have for a long time been thinking of how to get a spoken version of the introduction of the article Steinway & Sons. The article is about the famous and very prestigious piano brand Steinway & Sons. The article is long and got music files, a video file and many pictures. In the music world there are many blind people and I think they should have the opportunity to hear the introduction of this article about the world's most famous piano company. My native language is not English so therefore I have been looking for someone to help me. I have heard you speaking File:George Washington's Farewell Address.ogg and I must say that I think your way of speaking very, very good.

I would like to ask you if you please would help my by making a file with a spoken version of the introduction of the article Steinway & Sons?

Yours sincerely, ANCJensen (talk) 03:40, 13 July 2011 (UTC).

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. — Mr. V (t – c)   01:25, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claiomh Solais

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

The result of the debate was keep · Katefan0(scribble) 22:51, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Claiomh Solais
Fancruft? I don't now, but it's not encyclopeadic, in anyway. Delete now Differentgravy 17:58, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Claiomh Solais is a sword from Celtic mythology. ? 17:53, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * This nom was never added to a main VfD page. Fixing now.  No vote.  JYolkowski // talk 22:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Quite well-known in Ireland e.g. there used to be a journal of that name. But could be merged to Celtic Mythology or some such.  Dlyons493 23:44, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete if it doesn't get expanded to at least a complete sentence telling us the significance of the Claíomh Solais before this AFD is over. If someone can write one or two sentences about it, then merge with Irish mythology. If someone can write one or two paragraphs about it, then keep. --Angr/undefined 06:04, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I've added a little more information and will see what relevant printed material I can find Dlyons493 13:26, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Needs more discussion. Relisting on Sep 12. --Tony Sidaway Talk  12:33, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Dlyons493's rewrite. Notable in Irish mythology.Capitalistroadster 23:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mythologycruft. Redirect and mention in Irish mythology only if notable by real world standards, not just Wikipedia standards. E.i. indispensible to the understanding of the core aspects of Irish mythology. / Peter Isotalo 15:49, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Whatever is done with this should be done for consistency to the linked articles I've now created Spear of Lugh, The Dagda’s Cauldron, Stone of Fal e.g. a merge to Tuatha De Danaan or Irish mythology wouldn't be unreasonable. Note also that Claiomh Solais is now effectively a disambig page with Pearse and a contemporary Irish writer involved - I don't want to do that until we see what the voting outcome is.  Also I feel Wikipedia standards are what should be applied since we're on Wikipedia - I wouldn't have bothered creating this article myself, but I've invested some time in cleaning it, so my original Weak Keep is now somewhat stronger.  Dlyons493 16:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: I've moved out the unrelated info to a disamb page now. - Mgm|(talk) 09:14, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, although I am not an authority on Irish mythology. This seems to be worth hanging onto, and if not exactly a major part of their myth at least seems to be a note-worthy part. Although I am willing to accept correction from greater authorities than I. Lord Bob 00:41, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Noteworthy mythological artifact, important mythological system. Crypticfirefly 05:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the rewrite. - Mgm|(talk) 09:00, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've encountered the motive a couple of times in legends - and add information on Gorias and the four other legendary cities. Karol 21:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but older spelling "Claidheamh Soluis" would be preferable (also the name of a significant Irish nationalist magazine) --MacRusgail 16:46, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Talk:Hungarian Defence Forces

Untitled
I thought the Hungarian Military was going to buy F-16's to replace their Mig-29's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.174.43 (talk) 17:59, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Graphic of the Army Structure
I'm currently working on a project to create graphics of the structure of the most important Armies. i.e. French Army; German Army; Italian Army I also want to make a graphic of the structure of the Hungarian Ground Forces, but the information at this point is not sufficient, as there is no information how the units are structured (i.e. What Regiments/Batallions belong to which Divisions/Brigades, What Divissions/Brigades there are, what type the units are; and so on) Does anyone have this information- and also the Regiments/Battalions names and/or numbers and where they are based? Thanks noclador 23:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Moving the history of the Hungarian Military
I suggest to split this article: the sections from "Ancient and medieval military" to "After the Cold War" should be removed from this article and then merged into the article: Military history of Hungary. noclador 11:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Ceausescu regime-militarist???
"The Soviet troops stationed in Hungary also served as potential defenders of Hungary, in case it would come under attack. A possible threat was Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu, who lead a militarist regime, spending large amounts of funds on armament."

This statement is completely out of historical sense. Altough Ceausescu operated independently from Moscow, his regime WAS NEVER militaristic and has NEVER considered an agression against the Hungarian state. Andrei nacu 12:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I read the paragraph and removed it as it is utter nonsense. Romania attacking Hungary in the time of the Warsaw pact! a) the Romanian Army would have refused that order, because they surely knew they would end on the gallows in Moscow if they did something like that and b) Stalin/Khrushchev/Brezhnev would have emliminated Ceauşescu if he even dared to utter such heretic craziness towards the Communist Bloc "Unity of People". noclador 10:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Under "Leadership", the "President" needs to be changed from Katalin Novák to Tamás Sulyok.

Template talk:City building series

Added label "Historical"
I've added "Historical" to "City Building Series" for these reasons:
 * To distinguish from SimCity which is also a (major) city building series but has its own template
 * Because "city building series" as a term from old Impressions Games is now blurred by new Tilted Mill Entertainment on the scene with many previous Impressions Games designers especially Chris Beatrice -- Sitearm | Talk 17:59, 2005 August 21 (UTC)

Sarah McLachlan - Live EP (1992) CD cover

Rationale for Sarah McLachlan Live EP
This image, Mclachlan-live.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (feydey) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
 * it is a low resolution copy of a CD album cover;
 * it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the CD album in any way;
 * copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the album artwork on another CD;
 * illustrates the subject of the article.
 * no free alternative.
 * reproduction does not detract from the commercial value.

Kulig

Kulig (sleigh rides) is an old Polish winter tradition dating back to the days of the szlachta (nobility).

The kulig was a sleigh ride party organized among the Polish aristocracy. A cavalcade of horse-pulled sleighs and sleds went from one manor house to another, entertained everywhere with hearty meals followed by dancing.

Nowadays Kulig rides are a popular tourist attraction in the Polish Tatra mountains, advertised and practiced in places such as Zakopane.

Family Album (novel)

Family Album is a 1985 romance novel by American Danielle Steel. It was adapted into a 1994 TV miniseries starring Jaclyn Smith. It is Steel's eighteenth novel.

Plot
Family Album tells the story of Faye Price (later Thayer), since World War II to her death in present day. It relates her professional life as an actress in Hollywood's golden era to finally becoming one of the first female directors in Hollywood. But more important to her is her family life, from her marriage, the birth of her children, separations and reconciliations with her husband, the struggles to raise her children, and the problems they go through once grown up until, in the end, they come through stronger from the ordeal.

Adaptation
Family Album was adapted by Karol Ann Hoeffner into a 1994 NBC television miniseries starring Jaclyn Smith as Faye and Michael Ontkean as Ward. Though the plot was simplified from the original novel, it retains the basic story.

Kevin Stevens

Kevin Stevens (born April 15, 1965) is an American former ice hockey player and current scout in the National Hockey League (NHL). He played left wing on a line with Mario Lemieux during the Pittsburgh Penguins' Stanley Cup championships in 1991 and 1992. During his career, he also played with the Boston Bruins, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers, and Philadelphia Flyers. In 2017, Stevens was named Special Assignment Scout with the Penguins hockey organization.

Early career
Stevens was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, but grew up in Pembroke, Massachusetts. As a youth, he played in the 1978 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Hobomock minor ice hockey team from Pembroke. While attending Silver Lake Regional High School in Kingston, Massachusetts, Kevin Stevens played both hockey and baseball. He was invited to try out for both the Toronto Blue Jays and the Philadelphia Phillies; however, accepting that he was not a great hitter in baseball, he decided to play hockey instead. Stevens accepted a full scholarship to play hockey for Boston College, and was drafted in the sixth round (108th overall) in the 1983 NHL draft by the Los Angeles Kings. Several months later, his rights were traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Anders Håkansson, a left winger from Sweden who had recently been traded to the Penguins along with Ron Meighan from the Minnesota North Stars for the Penguins' first round pick in the 1983 draft (Brian Lawton).

Upon graduating from Boston College in 1987, Stevens joined the U.S. National Team and represented the U.S. at the 1987 World Championships and at the 1988 Winter Olympics. Stevens' play steadily improved during his time with the team and in 1987-88 he finished with 45 points in 44 games.

NHL career
Stevens played a few games with the Penguins in the 1987–88 NHL season, then spent the 1988–89 NHL season jumping back and forth between the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the International Hockey League (IHL). Starting with the 1989–90 NHL season, Stevens became one of the top left wingers and power forwards in the league. He had four consecutive seasons of at least 40 goals and 80 points from 1990 to 1994 and surpassed 50 goals and 100 points in 1991–92 and 1992–93. In the 1991–92 NHL season, Stevens scored 2 points more than Wayne Gretzky (then in his 13th season), becoming only the third person in NHL history to outscore Gretzky in the regular season, though he still finished second in points to teammate Mario Lemieux. His 123 points that year also set a record for the most points by an American-born player and a left wing in one season. The 55 goals he scored the following year tied him with Jimmy Carson for most goals in a single NHL season by a United States-born player. That record would stand for another 29 years before being broken by Auston Matthews on April 7, 2022. During the Pittsburgh Penguins' back-to-back Stanley Cup seasons of 1990–91 and 1991–92, Stevens was the only Penguin to play in every regular season and playoff game. He is also one of four NHL players to have accumulated more than 50 goals and at least 200 PIM in a season, the others are Keith Tkachuk, Brendan Shanahan and Gary Roberts. His 17 goals during the 1990–91 playoffs are tied for fourth all-time (only Jari Kurri and Reggie Leach with 19 and Joe Sakic with 18 have surpassed that mark). He scored 13 more in the 1991–92 postseason.

On May 21, 1992, during game three of the Prince of Wales Conference final against the Boston Bruins, Stevens became the 25th player in NHL history to score three goals in a single playoff period. Scoring a hat trick in the first period, he would add one more goal before the end of the game. The Penguins swept the Bruins then swept the Chicago Blackhawks to win their second straight Stanley Cup.

One year later, on May 14, 1993, the Penguins were playing the New York Islanders in game seven of the Patrick Division finals. Early in the first period, Stevens skated in and checked Islanders' defenseman Rich Pilon, hitting Pilon's visor with so much force that he knocked himself unconscious. Stevens landed face first on the ice and, unable to soften the blow upon landing, shattered most of the bones in his face and required extensive reconstructive surgery. Doctors cut an incision below his hairline from ear-to-ear, which was later closed with over 100 stitches, peeled back his skin and reassembled the bones in Stevens' face with the use of metal plates. Stevens came back to have one more strong season for the Penguins, in 1993–94 (41 goals, 47 assists), before being traded the next year.

Stevens was sent to the Boston Bruins in 1995 along with Shawn McEachern for Glen Murray and Bryan Smolinski. Stevens was never given a chance to succeed in Boston except in preseason when he was paired with Adam Oates and Cam Neely. During the regular season Stevens was in Coach Steve Kasper's doghouse and usually played with 3rd or 4th liners. At one point Coach Kasper "benched" Stevens and Neely. Making the two stars sit on the bench for the entire game. The move proved it was time for Stevens to move on but it proved to be the end for Kasper as well. After being traded from the Penguins, Stevens never again reached the success that he had while in Pittsburgh. After "disappointing" in Boston with 23 points in 41 games, he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings. After a poor season, he was traded to the New York Rangers in 1997, where he experienced several solid seasons, but failed to match the expectations levied on him from his marked success playing with Mario Lemieux and the Penguins.

During the 1999–2000 season, Stevens struggled. Not only did he rarely see the ice during this season, but after a game against the St. Louis Blues, he was caught in an East St. Louis, Illinois motel with a prostitute and crack cocaine. After this event, Stevens entered the NHL/NHLPA Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program.

After being released from the program, he played a brief stint with the Philadelphia Flyers before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a second time. After one decent season and another season where he rarely received playing time, he retired from the NHL in 2002.

Stevens returned the Penguins in an off-ice role as a talent scout from 2005 to 2012, including the 2008-09 NHL season, when the Penguins (and Stevens) won their third Stanley Cup. In 2017, he was hired again by the team, this time as a Special Assignment Scout.

Post-NHL
In 2011, Stevens left the Pittsburgh Penguins organization as a pro scout to spend more time with his family. He coached youth hockey including a traveling team in the Boston area.

In June 2015, his son, Luke Stevens, was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes 5th round, 126th overall pick. Luke played four years of college hockey at Yale University, but was ultimately not offered a contract by the Hurricanes, and signed a minor league contract with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL in August 2020.

In May 2016, Stevens and a co-defendant were charged with conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute oxycodone.

In May 2017, Stevens entered a guilty plea in a Boston federal court and was sentenced to probation, community service and a $10,000 fine. Stevens admitted to being addicted to prescription drugs since May 1993 (see above) when he sustained massive injuries during a game – an addiction that destroyed his marriage and his post-playing career in hockey.

On January 13, 2018, Stevens' recovery from addiction and his subsequent community service was presented in a 30-minute documentary entitled "Shattered" which aired on Sportsnet, a Canadian sports channel.

Broome Dusters

The Broome Dusters were an ice hockey team in the North American Hockey League. They played in Binghamton, New York, United States at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena. The team logo was designed by Johnny Hart, artist of the comic strip B.C. and a Binghamton native.

History
The Dusters played in the NAHL, which served as the inspiration for the movie Slap Shot, which includes a "Broome County" team. One scene in the film was specifically drawn from events that occurred in Binghamton. In the movie, the Hanson brothers wear black-rimmed, Coke-bottle eyeglasses, and in one game, get into a fight immediately after the opening faceoff. In reality, both Jeff and Steve Carlson of the Johnstown Jets wore similar glasses, and did get into a long fight right after an opening faceoff. Johnstown Coach Dick Roberge told the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat, "We got into Binghamton about two or three weeks before the playoffs. In the team warmup, we're out there and all the Binghamton players came out with the plastic glasses and big noses, every one of them, poking fun at the Carlson brothers. We went back in the dressing room and the boys said, 'Coach, as soon as that puck is dropped, we're pairing up.' We had one heckuva fight. They went about 30 minutes until everyone got tired. We met them again in the finals (1974–75) and beat them four straight."

When the NAHL folded in 1977, the team was replaced by the Binghamton Dusters of the American Hockey League who previously operated as the Providence Reds.

Even in the year 2023, the history & precedent that the Broome Dusters established continue to have an impact on the sport of ice hockey within the Greater Binghamton area.

Northern Ireland Trophy

The Northern Ireland Trophy was a professional snooker tournament.

History
First contested in 1981 and named Northern Ireland Classic. It was an invitational event held at Ulster Hall, Belfast, and Jimmy White beat Steve Davis in the final.

The event was revived for the 2005/06 season as an invitational event and was contested by 20 players. From the 2006/07 season, it became a full ranking event, attended by the world's top 32 players plus 16 qualifiers.

The event was the first ranking tournament to be held in Northern Ireland and has been staged as part of World Snooker's continuing efforts to popularise the game in more territories. The tournament took place at the Waterfront Hall, Belfast. It has been the opening event of the season, other than in 2007 when it was held in November. Prize money for 2006 totalled £200,500 with the winner receiving £30,000.

In the 2006 event Ronnie O'Sullivan broke a world record during his semi-final against Dominic Dale; he won the match in 53 minutes of play, which was the fastest ever time in a best-of-11 match. At the 2007 event, O'Sullivan established another record in his 3rd round 5–2 win over Ali Carter by becoming the only player to win a match in a ranking tournament by compiling a century break in every winning frame. O'Sullivan also compiled a maximum break in the same match.

Ümit Karan

Ümit Karan (born October 1, 1976) is a Turkish football manager and former player who is currently the manager of Menemenspor.

He played for Gençlerbirliği S.K., Ankaraspor, Galatasaray and Eskişehirspor. He made his international debut for Turkey in 1999, and earned a total of ten caps, scoring three goals.

Club career
After playing for Gençlerbirliği for five seasons and scoring 91 goals, Ümit moved to Galatasaray at the start of the 2001–02 season and was a key player in Mircea Lucescu's squad as the main striker after Mario Jardel's departure.

During the 2004–05 season, he was loaned to Ankaraspor by manager Gheorghe Hagi due to his dip in form. However, Ümit made a strong return for the 2005–06 season with Galatasaray's new manager, Eric Gerets. Getting along well with Gerets and his playing style, Ümit scored 81 goals in 18 matches at the start of the season. But in early 2006, Umit's season was cut short by a knee injury, which kept him out of the game for six months.

At the start of the 2006–07 season, Ümit regained his place on the team after the injury layoff, scoring his 100th goal in the Süper Lig on September 18, 2006, against Beşiktaş.

Ümit has great finishing ability, and he is usually in pursuit of sensational goals, particularly with volleys and bicycle kicks. His most sensational goal is arguably the one against Vestel Manisaspor. Ümit latched onto a 40-meter pass just inside the box, struck a one-time shot with his right foot, and curled it around the goalkeeper. He also possesses good pace, stamina and strength. He has had his share of problems with his former Galatasaray managers, Fatih Terim and Gheorghe Hagi. On June 24, 2009, he was fired from his 2010 contract with Galatasaray, and he signed a contract with Eskisehirspor for three years.

Managerial career
On October 4, 2018, Karan accepted an offer to become the manager of FK Shkupi. He took over the team who were struggling to meet expectations and found themselves in 9th. His first game in charge was on October 21, 2018, which Shkupi won 2–1 against fellow underperformers, Sileks. During his first season in charge of the Skopje based club, he managed to achieve a 4th place finish in the league and thus secured a Europa League qualifying slot. On August 26, 2019, Karan left his post as manager of Shkupi. His final game in charge was a 2–2 draw with Renova. On September 30, 2020, Karan re-joined Shkupi as manager on a one-year contract.

Blood on the Dance Floor (song)

"Blood on the Dance Floor" is a song by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson, released as the first single from the remix album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997). Jackson and Teddy Riley created the track in time for the 1991 release of Dangerous. However, it did not appear on that record and was worked on further for its commercial release in 1997. One interpretation of the song describes a predatory woman named Susie who seduces Jackson before plotting to stab him with a knife. The composition explores a variety of genres ranging from funk to new jack swing.

The single peaked at number 42 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached number one in Denmark, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom. It also reached the top 10 several other countries, including Australia, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Commentators compared "Blood on the Dance Floor" to music from Dangerous. Others commented on the song's perceived aggressive tone and the vocal style, the broad genres heard and possible lyrical interpretations of the song. Reviews at the time of release were largely mixed, but contemporary reviews have been favorable. The song was promoted with a music video that premiered on Top of the Pops. It centered on Susie seducing Jackson in a courtship "dance", before opening a switchblade. "Blood on the Dance Floor" was the only track from the remix album performed on the HIStory World Tour.

Production and music
Teddy Riley came up with the song's title while Jackson recorded the piece for his Dangerous album in 1991—it failed to make the final track listing. Riley was reportedly upset that Jackson did not call him to "vacuum clean this old master" upon realizing it would be included on Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix. Riley wanted to update the musical composition before it appeared on the remix album. In a Making Michael interview, Matt Forger mentioned that when work began on the album, they used the original Teddy Riley DAT version (which Riley played to Jackson when he came to work on "Dangerous") which they took to Montreux where Jackson recorded his vocals. Instruments played in the song include a guitar and piano, the latter of which has an F2–E♭5 range in scientific pitch notation. Jackson's vocal range on the track is C3–B♭5 and aspects of the song are performed in the key F minor. Genres that have been attributed to the song are dance, funk and new jack swing. Jackson incorporates many of the vocal traits associated with his work, such as hiccups and gasps. Neil Strauss of The New York Times suggests that the predatory woman in the title track, "Susie", is a metaphor for AIDS. However, in an interview with Adrian Grant, Jackson denied that the song was about AIDS.

Included throughout releases of the single are three remixes of the song "Dangerous" from Jackson's album of the same name. "Dangerous" was originally intended to be the tenth single from that album, and Roger Sanchez, who previously remixed "Jam" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough", was once again commissioned to create several remixes of the song in time for its release as a single in early 1994. However, the single was cancelled, and all of the remixes were shelved. It is likely that the reason some of these remixes were released as part of this single is due to its association with the Dangerous album, since it was originally created during its recording sessions. Regardless, the majority of Sanchez' original remixes remain unreleased, and are only available on a rare digital audio tape distributed among label executives.

Reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Produced by the artist with Teddy Riley this track chugs with a pleasant jeep-styled groove that provides a firm foundation for a lip-smacking vocal and a harmony-laden hook that is downright unshakable." He added that it is a "winning jam". The Dallas Morning News described "Blood on the Dance Floor" as an angry tale of a back-stabbing woman and Michael Saunders of The Boston Globe described it as "a middling dance-funk cut". Anthony Violenti of The Buffalo News said of the single, "[it is] laced with Teddy Riley's new jack swing sound and a pounding techno beat", whereas The Cincinnati Post characterized the song as a "lackluster first release ... dated, played-out dance track", but gave the album an overall favorable review. Jim Farber of New York Daily News, noted of the vocals and musical style, "[Jackson] coughs up a series of strangulated mutters and munchkin hiccups in lieu of a vocal, while its chilly, faux-industrial music proves as appealing as a migraine". David Sinclair from The Times constated, "With his voice little more than a whisper, and the groove screwed to a very high torque, this is as lean and urgent a piece as Jackson has ever produced."

William Ruhlman of AllMusic observed, "'Blood on the Dance Floor' is an uptempo Jackson song in the increasingly hysterical tradition of 'Billie Jean' and 'Smooth Criminal' with Jackson huffing, puffing, and yelping through some nonsense about a stabbing ... over a fairly generic electronic dance track". He was not complimentary of the B-sides that accompanied it. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, also of AllMusic, had a negative reaction to the record. He described "Blood on the Dance Floor" as a "bleak reworking of 'Jam' and 'Scream'".

Music commentator Nelson George, compared the song to material from Dangerous, such as the critically acclaimed tracks "Jam" and "Dangerous". He described it as a "pile driving" song that "explodes from radio speakers". A longtime commentator on Jackson's public life, J. Randy Taraborrelli, gave a retrospective analysis of the album in the biography, The Magic & the Madness. Taraborrelli thought that "Blood on the Dance Floor" was one of Jackson's best songs, a song that US fans "don't even know exists". In 2005, J T Griffith, of AllMusic, believed that in hindsight, "Blood on the Dance Floor" was actually a good song. He explained, "[it is] a second-rate mixture of 'Beat It' and 'Thriller' but Jackson's missteps are better than most pop music out there. This track showcases all the artist's trademarks: the ooohing, the grunts, and funky basslines. It is hard to hear 'Blood on the Dance Floor' and not want to moonwalk or dance like a ghoul".

Promotion
"Blood on the Dance Floor" was the only track from Blood on the Dance Floor: History in the Mix to appear on the set list of the HIStory World Tour. The music video for "Blood on the Dance Floor" was directed by Jackson and Vincent Paterson. Filming occurred in February 1997, when Jackson's first child Prince was born. It premiered on Top of the Pops in the UK on March 28, 1997, several weeks ahead of its release as a single. The video opens with a thrown switchblade impaling a spray painted image. The impaled image is that of a blood dripping love heart with "SUSIE + ME" scrawled across it. Jackson and a group of dancers then enter a salsa dance hall and he begins to dance with a woman, "Susie", while shaking a piece of percussion. Jackson then appears seated while the woman dances seductively above him on a table top.

After the first verse and chorus, there is an a cappella moment, in which Jackson breathes to the drums and the bass, then the strings, then spins, drops down and claps, then the main song starts with the second verse. This particular arrangement is only found in the video version.

Throughout the video, Jackson shows a sexual attraction towards the dancing woman—played by Sybil Azur. Jackson caresses her ankle, calf, knee and thigh, and at one stage looks up her dress. The woman is then seen opening a flick knife as the pair engage in a final courtship dance. The video closes in the same manner it began, with the switchblade impaling the spray painted image. The music video won the Brazilian TVZ Video Award: Best International Music Video of the Year. Interviewed on her experience during the video one of the dancers, Carmit Bachar (of The Pussycat Dolls) noted, "I was called in by Vincent Paterson for 'Blood on the Dance Floor'. It was to have a Latin feel, some sort of mambo. I arrived wearing a little salsa dress, fish nets, heels, and my hair was up in a kind of bun with a flower. I was 'camera ready'. I showed up with the whole outfit. It's not that producers can't see what they like, or the potential in somebody, but what I do helps them to see their vision more".

A "Refugee Camp Mix" of "Blood on the Dance Floor" appeared on Jackson's video collection, HIStory on Film, Volume II and Michael Jackson's Vision. The original song would later appear on the Number Ones DVD, which contained previously unreleased scenes. Furthermore, Paterson recorded an unreleased, alternate version of the music video, shot with an 8 mm camera. Writer David Noh, described it as, "grainy, overexposed, and sexy as shit". According to Paterson, "Michael loved it, but Sony hated it and refused to release it". The New York Times described the United States promotional effort for the Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix campaign as "subdued", creating "hardly a sound" and "perplexing to many people in the industry". Jackson's label Epic Records, refuted allegations they were not promoting the album sufficiently, saying, "We are completely behind the album ... Michael is certainly one of our superstars and is treated as such ... We just went into this one with our global hats on". The New York Times acknowledged that promotion was stronger internationally, where Jackson had more commercial force and popularity.

Live performances
Jackson performed the song only in the second leg of his HIStory World Tour in 1997.

Chart performance
"Blood on the Dance Floor" became a top ten hit in almost all countries in Europe. It peaked at number one in the UK, Denmark, Spain and New Zealand, charting for 11 weeks in the latter two nations. In the UK it sold 83,767 copies in its first week, enough to take the number one spot from "I Believe I Can Fly" by Jackson collaborator R. Kelly. It was Jackson's seventh and final UK chart topper as a solo artist, although it fell to number eight in its second week of release. The European country where "Blood on the Dance Floor" had the most longevity was Switzerland, where it spent 18 weeks in the chart. The total number of sales in the UK, as of May 2016, stands at 207,700.

"Blood on the Dancefloor" peaked at number 42 on the US Billboard Hot 100. This relatively lower peak position has been attributed to the lack of US promotion and—according to J. Randy Taraborrelli and AllMusic writer William Ruhlman—the ongoing US public interest in Jackson's private life over his music.

Hope Powell

Hope Patricia Powell (born 8 December 1966) is an English football coach and former player who is the Women's Technical Director at Birmingham City.

As a player, Powell won 66 caps for England, mainly as an attacking midfielder, scoring 35 goals. She made her England debut at the age of 16, and went on to play in the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup, England's first World Cup appearance. She was also vice-captain of her country. At club level, Powell played in four FA Women's Cup finals and captained Croydon to a League and Cup double in 1996.

The Football Association (FA) appointed Powell as England's first-ever full-time national coach in 1998. She led the team at the 2001, 2005, 2009 and 2013 editions of the UEFA Women's Championship. After failing to qualify in 2003, she guided England to the quarter-finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2007 and 2011. England's best results, reaching the final of the UEFA Women's Championship in 1984 and 2009, both featured Powell. She was a player at the former and coach at the latter.

As well as managing the England senior team, Powell oversaw the whole structure from Under-15s to the Under-23s, a coach mentoring scheme and The FA's National Player Development Centre at Loughborough University. In May 2009, Powell's administration implemented central contracts, to help players focus on full-time training and playing, without having to fit it around full-time employment. Initially, 17 players signed contracts. In 2003, Powell became the first woman to achieve the UEFA Pro Licence, the highest coaching qualification available. She also managed the Great Britain women's Olympic football team during the 2012 Summer Olympics and Brighton & Hove Albion from 2017 to 2022.

Millwall
Powell made newspaper headlines when FA rules banned her from representing her school team beyond the age of 11. The teacher running the team had appealed against the ban, not, according to Powell, because he was interested in gender equality, but because of a pragmatic desire to field his strongest team. Powell moved on to play club football for Millwall Lionesses when she reached 11.

At Millwall Lionesses, Powell came under the influence of coach Alan May. A senior manager with British Telecom, May taught Powell people management skills and remained a major inspiration throughout her career, including when she moved into coaching herself. May was employed as Powell's head scout when she became England manager.

Fulham
As the club grew to be one of the most successful in England, Powell left for London rivals Friends of Fulham. A two-year spell with Friends of Fulham culminated in an appearance at the 1989 Women's FA Cup final. Powell scored twice and is reported to have played exceptionally well, but her team were beaten 3–2 by Leasowe Pacific. The match was played at Old Trafford but attracted only 914 spectators, although it was also broadcast on Channel 4.

Return to Millwall
In the aftermath of that defeat, Powell returned to Millwall Lionesses, where she became the team's all-time record goalscorer. In 1991, they reached the Women's FA Cup final and beat Doncaster Belles 1–0 at Prenton Park to win the Cup for the first time. Millwall Lionesses also won the Greater London League to qualify for the inaugural National Division in the 1991–92 season.

Bromley and Croydon
The team broke up in the aftermath of that success and Powell moved with teammate Sue Law to form a new club Bromley Borough. Beginning in the South East Counties League, the club quickly progressed through the divisions. After adding England player Brenda Sempare in 1992, Bromley Borough won all 16 matches in the South East Counties League Division One, scoring 142 goals in the process. The team also reached the semi-final of the Women's FA Cup, where they lost 2–0 to treble-winning Arsenal.

In the 1993–94 season, Bromley Borough won the National League Division One South by ten points, securing promotion into the top flight of English women's football. Despite this, they were handed a chastening 10–1 defeat by Doncaster Belles in the fifth round of the Women's FA Women's Cup. For the 1994–95 season, the club entered a partnership with Croydon and enlisted Powell's England teammate Debbie Bampton as manager. Powell was one of six Croydon players who represented England at the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup.

With Powell as captain and Bampton as player-manager, Croydon won a domestic double in 1995–96. In the FA Women's Cup final against Liverpool at The Den, Powell equalised Karen Burke's opening goal then scored from the spot as Croydon won a penalty shootout. A farcical end of season fixture backlog saw Croydon play five games in ten days, winning four and drawing one to erode Doncaster Belles' 13-point lead, and win the National Premier Division on goal difference.

In the 1997–98 season, Croydon lost both domestic Cup finals to Arsenal. The 1998 FA Women's Cup final was lost 3–2 and, despite scoring Croydon's second goal, Powell missed out on her third winners' medal. She had agreed to take over as England coach and retired from playing.

International career
Martin Reagan gave Powell her England debut against Republic of Ireland, in a 6–0 Euro qualifying win staged at Elm Park in Reading, Berkshire on 9 September 1983. Aged 17, Powell played in the final of the 1984 European Competition for Women's Football as England were beaten by Sweden on penalties. The two-legged final had seen England recover a one goal deficit at Kenilworth Road in Luton, in muddy conditions described by Powell as "absolutely shocking".

She was allotted 61 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England's inaugural international.

First steps into coaching
Powell had passed the FA's preliminary coaching award at the age of 19. During her later playing career she had worked as a development officer for Lewisham London Borough Council and in Crystal Palace FC's community outreach scheme. She had also been a volunteer coach at soccer camps in the United States. Ted Copeland encouraged Powell to complete the FA's new female coach mentoring scheme and obtain her 'B' licence while she was still playing.

England Women
England were unfortunate to be drawn in a 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification group with Norway and Germany, the reigning World and European champions, respectively. Copeland quit as manager after a 1–0 defeat to Germany at The Den in March 1998, which Powell had started.

At 31, Powell became the youngest ever coach of any England national football team, as well as the first woman and the first non-white person to hold the office.

On 26 July 1998, Powell managed England for the first time in a friendly against Sweden at Victoria Road, Dagenham. After entering the game as a substitute, Swedish debutant Malin Moström scored the only goal on 84 minutes. Powell's first competitive fixture in charge was the 2–0 defeat to Norway in Lillestrøm the following month, which consigned England to last place in the group and meant they faced a relegation play-off against Romania. Had England lost they faced being demoted to B level and therefore unable to qualify for major tournaments. Powell described the situation as "very much do-or-die" since a substantial reduction in funding was at stake. A 6–2 aggregate victory kept England's place among the elite.

In 2003, Powell became the first woman to be awarded the UEFA Pro Licence, studying alongside Stuart Pearce. She had become England coach in 1998, and led the national team to the final of Euro 2009 where they lost to Germany. It was speculated that Powell would become the first female manager in English men's football when she was linked with the vacant managerial role at Grimsby Town in October 2009, however caretaker manager Neil Woods was appointed on a permanent basis.

At the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, England suffered a quarter-final penalty shootout defeat to France following a 1–1 draw. Powell controversially attributed "cowardice" to the players who had failed to volunteer to take a penalty. After England's disastrous showing at UEFA Women's Euro 2013, there was a clamour for Powell to be sacked. However, despite the first round exit, she retained the support of the FA.

In July 2013, rival coach Keith Boanas made an outspoken attack on Powell's record as England manager and publicly called on her to resign. Boanas who had also applied for the job in 1998 but was not granted an interview said he suspected that the selection of the relatively unqualified Powell was "a political appointment to cover all bases". He criticised Powell's role in the international retirement of his wife Pauline Cope and suggested that anyone could match or surpass Powell's achievements, given a similar level of support.

On 20 August 2013, Powell was sacked as manager of the England women's team.

Brighton & Hove Albion
On 19 July 2017, Brighton & Hove Albion announced that Powell had been appointed as first-team manager of the club's women's team. On 31 October 2022, Powell stepped down from the role with an 8–0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur being her final match in charge.

England men's U20s
On 19 May 2023, it was announced that Powell would join the England men's U20s as a technical advisor at the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Birmingham City
On 20 July 2023, Powell was announced as the new Women's Technical Director at Birmingham City.

Honours
Powell was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2002 Birthday Honours for services to association football, and promoted to Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2010 Birthday Honours for services to sport. In 2003, she was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in recognition of her talents.

In 2009, she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Loughborough University. Powell was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University of East London in 2011.

Personal life
Powell was born and raised in London to a family of Jamaican descent. In 1990, Powell graduated from Brunel University in London with a degree in Sport Science and History.

In August 2010, she was named in 68th place on The Independent newspaper's annual Pink List of influential LGBT people in the UK. Her entry was subsequently redacted from the online version of the article and her name was absent from the 2011 and 2012 lists. Powell was included in a rival World Pride Power List compiled by Square Peg Media in association with The Guardian; reaching fifth place in 2011 and 48th place in 2012. Commenting about her relationships with men, she said they were "intrigued" to discover that she was a footballer.

In an October 2005 interview with Diva magazine, Powell commented about lesbians in football: "There's always been that stereotyping of female footballers as butch, dykey and unattractive, so maybe it's just best left alone."

Powell's autobiography, Hope: My Life in Football, was published in 2016.

Talk:Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario

Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario
I've compiled a list at Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario but have one annoying gap in respects to the 12th parliament:

 * Thomas Crawford, Con., (1910-1911)

 * Thomas Crawford, Con., (1907-1908)

Crawford was Speker in the 11th parliament which ended in 1908. He is also listed as Speaker for the second half of the 12th parliament but I can find no listing for a speaker for the first part of the 12th parliament (1909-1910). Was there a speaker between Crawford's two terms? Did the legislature just not meet for two years (unlikely since I can find references to committee memberships for 1909). Is there just a typo in the online record for Crawford (ie was he really speker for the whole parliament; he's not listed as having any other duties?)

Does anyone have access to the Ontario Hansard for the period?Homey 17:59, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

This is Crawford's entry from the legislative website: http://olaap.ontla.on.ca/mpp/daMbr.do?whr=Id%3D1037&locale=en Parliament 12 June 08, 1908 — November 13, 1911

Riding : * Toronto West -- Seat A

Parliamentary Roles : * Speaker January 25, 1910 — March 24, 1911

Looking at other listings for MLAs it seems that the 12th parliament did not convene until January or February 1909 (committee appointments date from February 23 suggesting the legislature first met at or just before then). Given that Crawford isn't listed as having any duties in 1909 it's quite possible there's a typo and his speakership from that session really began January 25, 1909. Alternatively, he may have been ill for the first year of the session and not had any duties. Anyway, we can't know unless someone can find the Ontario Hansard for 1909. I don't have ready access to a university library right now, does anyone else?Homey 18:06, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

I'll research this tomorrow (Stauffer Library being closed on Sundays during the summer). CJCurrie 18:30, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Augustus II, Duke of Brunswick

Augustus II (10 April 1579 – 17 September 1666), called the Younger (August der Jüngere), a member of the House of Welf was Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. In the estate division of the House of Welf of 1635, he received the Principality of Wolfenbüttel which he ruled until his death. Considered one of the most literate princes of his time, he is known for founding the Herzog August Library at his Wolfenbüttel residence, then the largest collection of books and manuscripts north of the Alps.

Life
Augustus was born at Dannenberg Castle, the seventh child of Duke Henry of Brunswick-Lüneburg (1533–1598). His father had ruled over the Brunswick Principality of Lüneburg, jointly with his younger brother William, since 1559. Ten years later, however, upon his marriage with Ursula, a daughter of the Ascanian duke Francis I of Saxe-Lauenburg, he had to waive all rights and claims and was compensated with the small Dannenberg lordship. Moreover, he received an annual payment and had reserved the inheritance right of his descendants should the Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel line become extinct.

Augustus was the seventh and youngest child from the marriage of Henry and Ursula. With little chance to take up any rule in the Brunswick lands, he concentrated on his studies in Rostock, Tübingen, and Straßburg. Afterwards, he travelled on a Grand Tour through Italy, France, the Netherlands, and England. Back in Germany at the age of 25, he took his residence in Hitzacker, where he spent the next three decades with a small court, continuing his studies.

Succession arose in the midst of the Thirty Years' War, when the last Wolfenbüttel prince, Duke Frederick Ulrich of Brunswick-Lüneburg died without heirs in 1634. After lengthy and complicated negotiations with his reluctant Welf relatives and an intervention by Emperor Ferdinand II, it was finally agreed that Augustus should inherit the Wolfenbüttel principality. Because of the ongoing war, he had to stay at Dankwarderode Castle in Braunschweig and could not move to his residence until 1644. Soon after, Augustus instituted a number of government reforms, and founded the Bibliotheca Augusta (now the Herzog August Bibliothek). After the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, the Wolfenbüttel lands recovered quickly under his capable rule. Augustus was a promoter of German as language of literature. Under the pseudonym Gustavus Selenus, he translated a book on rithmomachia by the mathematician Francesco Barozzi, wrote a book on chess in 1616, Chess or the King's Game, and a standard reference on cryptography in 1624: Cryptomenytices et Cryptographiae libri IX (Gustavi Seleni). The pseudonym itself is a cryptic reference to his name, Gustavus anagrams (with U=V) to Augustus, the surname is a play on the Greek goddess of the moon (Selene). The book on cryptography is largely based on earlier works by Johannes Trithemius.

The duke employed the scholar Justus Georg Schottel as tutor of his sons; he also kept an active correspondence with Johannes Valentinus Andreae, a founder of the esoteric Rosicrucianism movement. In 1632 he met with Prince Louis I of Anhalt-Köthen and joined his Fruitbearing Society. Augustus died at Wolfenbüttel and was succeeded by his eldest son Rudolph Augustus.

Marriage and children
In December 1607 he married Clara Maria of Pomerania-Barth, the eldest daughter of the Griffin duke Bogislaw XIII of Pomerania. The marriage produced two stillborn children. Clara Maria died in February 1623.

In October 1623 he married Dorothea of Anhalt-Zerbst, daughter of the Ascanian prince Rudolph of Anhalt-Zerbst. They had the following children:
 * Henry August (1625–1627)
 * Rudolph Augustus (1627–1704), Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel
 * married firstly, in 1650 Countess Christiane Elisabeth of Barby (1634-1681)
 * married secondly, in 1681 Rosine Elisabeth Menthe (1663-1701)

 * Sibylle Ursula (1629–1671)
 * married in 1663 Duke Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Glücksburg (1627-1698, son of Philip, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg)

 * Klara Auguste (1632–1700)
 * married in 1653 Duke Frederick of Württemberg-Neuenstadt (1615-1682)

 * Anton Ulrich (1633–1714), Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel
 * married in 1656 princess Elisabeth Juliane of Schleswig-Holstein-Norburg (1634-1704).

Dorothea died in September 1634 and in 1635 Augustus married Duchess Elisabeth Sophie of Mecklenburg, daughter of Duke John Albert II of Mecklenburg. They had two surviving children:
 * Ferdinand Albert I (1636-1687), Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg
 * married in 1667 Christine of Hesse-Eschwege (1649-1702)

 * Marie Elisabeth (1638-1687)
 * married firstly, in 1663 Adolf William, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach
 * married secondly, in 1676 Albert V, Duke of Saxe-Coburg.
