Talk:Hägar the Horrible

Requested move

 *  Copied from WP:RM. Dragons flight 03:03, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Hägar the Horrible → Hägar the Hørrible - This is the character's proper name. Krun 18:21, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~

 * Oppose. As far as I know Hägar the Horrible is the common way to write the name. – AxSkov ( ☏ ) 05:07, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose. He is, as far as I am aware, always referred to as Hägar the Horrible in comic strips about him. The book about him is titled Hägar the Horrible's Viking Handbook. I haven't been able to find any reference to the spelling given by Krun outside Wikipedia. -- Naive cynic 14:41, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. In fact, even "Hägar" is kind of counterproductive, given that that's not the name of the character or the comic strip. See Heavy metal umlaut. --Quuxplusone 23:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose as proposed, but move to "Hagar the Horrible" as it is in the work itself, as furrykef and Quuxplusone indicate in comments below. Jonathunder 01:25, 2005 September 7 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The logo on the official site reads 'Hägar the Horrible' but the text describing the character reads 'Hagar the Horrible' - and, IMHO, since the logo is the "brand", this should dictate the spelling, not how someone has deicided to transcribe it on the same site. (Perhaps the person could not figure out how to type the "ä" or perhaps they had "foreign character blindness" (as I like to call it) - a phenomenon that I have observed many times over in my life as a Scandinavian living in an English-based country.) Andreas Toth 01:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. Dragons flight 07:21, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Add any additional comments

The official site does seem to show it as "Hägar the Horrible", although I remember reading once that the "ø" is sometimes also used for extra vikingness. (I thought there was a mention of this on heavy metal umlaut, but it's not there now.) sjorford (?!) 08:08, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

We should avoid problematic alphabets in English titles. Diacritics and such. Is it not sufficient that all these viking letters are presented ansd explained in the article text?? 217.140.193.123 08:49, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I hardly think that Latin-1 characters can be considered problematic. The vast, vast majority of readers should be able to display "ä" and "ø" with no problems. sjorford (?!) 09:02, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Question in the proposal above is about letter ø and whether it is easy to write, as it would be inb the title, thus needed for links - Thanks for your attention. 217.140.193.123 09:47, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You'll still have Hagar the Horrible as a redirect page, so everyone should be able to access the page easily. Krun 13:58, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

This is a case were I do not disapprove of the use of funny foreign squiggles because that is precisely what they are being used for! Philip Baird Shearer 19:13, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

It is worth noting, however, that Hagar's name always appears "Hagar", without the umlaut, within the dialogue of the comic itself, even though it's trivial for the cartoonist to draw a pair of dots over the letter "A". - furrykef (Talk at me) 17:28, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yup. And the name of the strip always appears as "Hagar the Horrible," even online. I've never seen "Hägar" in print — in fact, it doesn't appear to make sense as a Norse name in the first place. We don't even have a redirect at Spın̈al Tap; why should this gratuitous umlaut be any different? :) Use the name the cartoonist uses in the strip, and the most common name known to readers. --Quuxplusone 23:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * In some versions of the Sunday strip, there is a bumper box with the title, to fill in space. It includes the accented letter. --  user:zanimum

Hi: If anyone can get his mits on Backstage at the Strips, the author of HtH provides a lot of insight into the making of his comics and the history.

Top Ten Most Sackable Cities
At the moment, there are only nine cities listed. What's the last one? Or is part of the joke that Vikings can't count?

 * As I remember, the 10th is Minsk. Vanjagenije 22:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually the 10th was Novgorod. --Auric (talk) 01:01, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Theme Music
The section about the theme music is very suspicious to me, especially as it says you can hear it by pressing your ear against a particular stone at certain times in the lunar cycle. I'll remove the entire section, and if it's accurate, it can be put back with a source...--Tiberius47 03:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Newspapers
03:12, 7 August 2007 (UTC)Simon Peter Hughes–== I think it would be appropriate to mention "The Sun" (it certainly has an impact on how British people view the comic strip) and also the mostly widely circulated newspapers in, for example, the US, Canada and Australia in which the strip appears. I can tell you that where I live, in Taiwan, the strip appears in the English language newspaper, "The China Post". However, if it really is in 1,900 newspapers around the world, I wouldn't recommend listing all of them. –   acetilcisteina--> in Spain is published in a newspaper named "Diari de Girona" with the name "Olaf el vikíng", the catalan of "Olaf the viking"

Koya?
Isn't the lawyer's name spelled "Koyer"? ("Koya" would spoil the rhyme for rhotic speakers.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.86.92.198 (talk) 21:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Movie
Hey everybody, is it true that Hägar the Horrible is coming 2010 in cinema? It says that Miramax Films is going to make thee movie.--84.164.101.221 (talk) 10:40, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If it is true, they must have already started on it. Does anyone know? 74.100.48.167 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC).

Danish?
It is written that he is Danish. I don't know if it is true in the original versions of Hägar in English, but in the Brazilian translations he is a norwegian viking, and sometimes he seems to be very proud of his norwegian origins.201.80.136.25 (talk) 18:23, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't want to change the original article but I definitely remember a cartoon where Hagar attempts to speak Italian to an Italian and is told to stop. When asked why the Italian replies: "Sure I understand Italian, and I understand Norwegian but I don't understand a Norwegian speaking Italian". To me this would clearly indicate that Hagar is Norwegian. If I can find the actual cartoon I'll scan it and link to it and change the nationality. --JimJayuu (talk) 01:57, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Hagar the Terrible
The paragraph about Hagar the Terrible confuses me. They changed the name from "Terrible" to "Horrible" after Browne's death? As a sign of reverence? What? How is "Horrible" better than "Terrible?" Browne created the strip and called it "Hagar the Horrible." At what point was it ever called anything else? 161.11.130.249 (talk) 14:31, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Hagar is Norwegian.
I have a book by Dik Browne (Hager the Horribles very nearly complete Viking Handbook) which states on page 19 that Hagar is Norwegian. I'll change it in the article though if anyone has any objections please say.--English Bobby (talk) 16:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * His Norwegian origins were also mentioned at one point in the Norwegian Beetle Bailey comic book, which has Hägar the Horrible as a guest series. The editor once wrote in his editorial that when Dik Browne was asked about which country Hägar was from, his answer was Norway. DarkPhoenix (talk) 13:42, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Isn't Hagar offensive?
I mean, doesn't it degrade the heritage of those with Scandinavian descent to make their ancestors appear as so violent and filthy? I know thats taking this comic strip quite seriously, but that wasn't the case with the jive-talking crows from Dumbo or Speedy Gonzales. 63.201.14.62 (talk) 08:57, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Eh, have you ever been to Scandinavia? It's not offensive, it's the truth. No, seriously, I'm from Sweden, and I don't care. 92.254.236.220 (talk) 18:07, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Hägar's Name in Chile
Since I'm a kid I've read the comic strips of "Olafo el vikingo" NOT "Olafo el amargado"!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.104.54.162 (talk) 04:00, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Claimed influences
The article stated that Hagar was ''heavily influenced by the work of Lucien Musset. ''.

1. The link does not exist anymore. 2. The claim is placed in the lead. 3. It is a strong claim.

In a case like this, I expect a quote either from the inventor of the strip or from reliable and independent sources, not something that has been found somewhere on the net. -- Zz (talk) 12:52, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I checked here after independently deciding this claim should be removed; I find nothing online in support of it, only content deriving from this article, and the sentence was subsequently "referenced" to the title page of one of Muset's books on Google Books. The Cornell University pdf that according to the above post was the previously cited source is not available at the Wayback Machine. I have accordingly removed the statement. Yngvadottir (talk) 05:30, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

time conflict
"It first appeared in February 1973" and "For a brief time in the late 1960s to early 1970s, the strip had its own brand of sponsored soda" doesn't fit together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4DD4:391A:0:C9E4:6158:4D5B:22D4 (talk) 14:03, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Who is writing it?
I don't know who is writing it now (I came to this article hoping to find out), but the phrase "Chris Browne (May 1952-February 5, 2023) has continued the strip" is jarring. Does anybody now who the new writer is? Carlo (talk) 13:27, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I believe they're running the backlog of already-produced strips right now, and have not announced who, if anyone, will be taking over. Tiggum (talk) 05:31, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I want to know who the third artist is going to be for Hagar the Horrible or if they plan on ending the comic strip. CrosswalkX (talk) 23:22, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Hyde Park (Austin, Texas)

Hyde Park is a neighborhood and historic district in Austin, Texas. Located in Central Austin, Hyde Park is defined by 38th Street to the south, 45th Street to the north, Duval Street to the east, and Guadalupe Street to the west. It is situated just north of the University of Texas and borders the neighborhoods of Hancock and North Loop.

Hyde Park traces its origins back to 1891 and is considered to be Austin's first suburb. The neighborhood was originally developed by Monroe M. Shipe in 1891 as a "White Only" streetcar suburb with a large artificial lake, but it has since become one of the most densely populated areas in the city's urban core. Part of the neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a Historic District in 1990.

Hyde Park is located in city council District 9.

History
Located approximately twenty blocks from Austin's original town site, the area now known as Hyde Park was largely rural in character for much of the 19th century. The State Fair of Texas was held in the eastern sections of Hyde Park from 1875 until it was moved to Dallas in 1884. A portion of the State Fair's horseracing track is still reflected in the curved segment of 39th Street between Avenue F and Duval Street.

Established in 1891 by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Land and Town Company, Hyde Park was marketed under the direction of Monroe Martin Shipe as a majority-white, affluent suburb featuring large, majestic residences, separate from the racially integrated neighborhoods of the city. Ads touted Hyde Park as “free from nuisances and an objectionable class of people, proper restrictions being taken to guard against undesirable occupants.” Critical to the suburb's success was the establishment of an electric streetcar system. After the City Council awarded Shipe a franchise in 1890, his Austin Rapid Transit Railway Company built its first line on Congress Avenue, west on Sixth Street, and north on Rio Grande Street and Old Georgetown Road (now Guadalupe Street) to Hyde Park.

Hyde Park was initially marketed to Austin's elite in the 1890s, and Shipe achieved moderate success. The first houses built in the neighborhood were stylistic examples of late 19th-century domestic architecture. Many of them, such as the Oliphant-Walker House, were built in the Queen Anne style by locally prominent citizens. Noted sculptor Elisabet Ney was among the first to buy property in the area, which was heavily promoted as confirmation that Hyde Park was attractive to Austin's most talented and prestigious citizens. Ney built a small castle-style studio, named Formosa, in northwest Hyde Park that is now home to the Elisabet Ney Museum.

By the late 1890s and early 1900s, however, the tone of Hyde Park's advertisements began to change. No longer was it promoted as an affluent residential area; instead, the suburb was described as an ideal place for the "working man or woman" to invest his or her earnings by purchasing a lot and building a residence. The key phrase in these promotions became affordability. Hyde Park's architectural character shifted to smaller, more modest frame houses and bungalows. While steady construction of houses characterized the area through the early 1900s, Hyde Park's greatest building boom occurred between 1924 and 1935. Shipe Park was dedicated in 1928.

Analysis of styles and dates of construction of domestic structures elucidates historic growth patterns within Hyde Park. The oldest houses are located near the State Hospital or along the former streetcar route on 40th Street. Later, as promotional emphasis shifted to a different socioeconomic group, more modest dwellings were constructed in areas somewhat removed from the streetcar line.

Today, Hyde Park consists of mostly renovated bungalow-style homes, and modern duplex-style residences, many with bright colors and unorthodox decorations, due in part to the residents preserving the city’s informal “Keep Austin Weird” slogan. All street signs in Hyde Park are dedicated to its historical identity. Many ”Austinites” consider Hyde Park Austin, TX’s most locally cultured neighborhood.

Historic districts
The Hyde Park neighborhood contains two historic districts and several other individual historic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Hyde Park Historic District is roughly defined by West 40th Street to the south, West 45th Street to the north, Duval Street to the east, and Avenue A to the west. The district includes Victorian architecture, Tudor Revival architecture, and bungalows.

The Shadow Lawn Historic District in southeast Hyde Park is roughly bounded by 38th Street, 39th Street, Avenue G, and Duval Street. The district includes several homes of historic interest from the early twentieth century.

Historic buildings in Hyde Park

 * Blue Bonnet Court
 * Elisabet Ney Museum
 * Col. Monroe M. Shipe House
 * Hildreth-Flanagan-Heierman House
 * Frank M. and Annie G. Covert House
 * Page-Gilbert House
 * Smith-Marcuse-Lowry House
 * Oliphant-Walker House
 * Peter and Clotilde Shipe Mansbendel House

Real Estate and Housing Market Trends
Residential properties are the most prominent property type in Hyde Park, with single-family dwellings comprising about 95 percent of the neighborhood's built environment. Most lots within the neighborhood were improved between the late 1890s and 1935. Houses built during that period reflect the architectural tastes, trends and patterns that prevailed in Austin at the time. Bungalows are the most common house type, followed by examples of the stylistic influences of the Queen Anne and Tudor Revival styles.

As Austin grew, Hyde Park once again underwent a boom of sorts. From 2001 to 2007, the median home price rose by nearly $70,000 to $320,000. Despite the housing market crash in 2008-2009, homes regained their values and as of July 2013 the median home price was $350,000 with some properties selling for over $1.5 million.

The 1.75 acre Shipe Park is located in Hyde Park. Shipe Park has two unlighted basketball courts, one multipurpose court, two picnic tables, one playground, a 444-square-yard neighborhood swimming pool, two lighted tennis courts, and indoor toilet facilities.

Education
Residents are served by the Austin Independent School District. Residents are assigned to Lee Elementary School, Kealing Middle School, and McCallum High School. The area is also served by Hyde Park Schools.

Sri Atmananda Memorial School, a private school, was in Hyde Park.

You idiot, I spend half my time writing pro-Israel articles for my Jewish politician employer. I am more pro-Israel than 95% of people here. I can't help it if you are too stupid to know a balanced article when you see one. Adam 12:47, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Greenbottle blue tarantula

Chromatopelma is a monotypic genus of South American tarantulas containing the single species, Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. Commonly known as greenbottle blue tarantulas due to their metallic blue legs and blue-green carapace, they are very active and fast-growing tarantulas that are particularly attractive to hobbyists. They are native to the Paraguaná Peninsula.

They live in webbed burrows under bushes and tree roots in desert areas of northern Venezuela. The entrance is often extended with webbing, sometimes resembling a funnel shape. These webs may protect the entrance from the harsh desert climate and act as a trap for insects. Their diet can consist of many things. These include crickets, cockroaches and also worms.

In 2013, Venezuelan scientists announced that Greenbottle blue tarantulas were threatened by overgrazing that is destroying their habitat. Fumigation of cultivated land has also caused the migration of the species towards the Montecano Biological Reserve and the Cerro Santa Ana Natural Monument. In 2015 it was listed as an Endangered species.

Taxonomy
The species was first described by Embrik Strand in 1907 under the name Eurypelma cyaneopubescens, and was moved to the newly created genus Delopelma by Alexander Petrunkevitch in 1939. Delopelma and Eurypelma are now considered to be a synonyms of Aphonopelma and Avicularia, respectively.

In 1997, Gunter Schmidt considered the species sufficiently distinct to warrant the new genus Chromatopelma, a name referring to its striking blue color. He differentiated Chromatopelma from Aphonopelma based on the scopulae of the tarsus on the third leg, bristles that divide the metatarsus from the tarsus on the fourth leg, the very large posterior median eyes, and the single fused spermatheca of females.

Villages of Guam

The United States territory of Guam is divided into nineteen municipalities, called villages. Each village is governed by an elected mayor. Village populations range in size from under 1,000 to over 40,000. In the 2020 census, the total population of Guam was 153,836. Each municipality, known as an "election district" by the United States Census Bureau, is counted as a county equivalent by the Census Bureau for statistical purposes.

History
Many villages have rich histories reaching back thousands of years. Artifacts from ancient Chamorro settlements can be found in every village of Guam. When the Spanish Empire colonized the Marianas Islands as part of its Pacific possessions in the 16th and 17th centuries, the island was divided into separate districts with each district consisting of a parish with a village center governed by a Mayor alcalde, appointed by the island's governor.

In the 18th century, there were six parishes on Guam: Hagåtña, Hagat, Humåtak, Malesso', Inalåjan, and Pago.

Prior to Spanish colonization, Chamorro people regularly held village celebrations. After adopting Christianity, these celebrations became festivals (fiestas) in honor of the patron saint of each village. Annual village fiestas are still held throughout the island every year.

The current division of Guam into municipalities took place in the 1920s under United States Navy Administration. Santa Rita was formerly Sumay, before the U.S. taking of that village after World War II.

Talk:Melechesh

Untitled
Discography from here: http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=424 --Vagodin 03:06, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Hebrew script needed?
I wonder if the Hebrew transliteration of the band's name is relevant to the article. After all, the band refers to it's own name using the Latin alphabet, which is also the registered name for the band. Thus, all references to the band are using the word "Melechesh", not "מלכאש". In addition to that, I've read an interview with Ashmedi where he had elaborated on the origin of the band's name - and he had stated that "Melechesh" was actually an incomplete phrase in Hebrew, loosely translated as "Kingfire", and that the actual Hebrew translation of the phrase "King Of Fire" would be "Melech Ha Esh" (in Latin transliteration). If that is true, the Hebrew transliteration would be senseless...

My point is that I'm not sure about the actual significance of the said item. IMO, it rather confuses the reader by cluttering the text - after all, switching between different alphabets always causes a slight delay while reading, and many users (including myself) are not even able to read Hebrew.

I'm not going to remove that bit, I would like to hear your opinion, though. --Vargher 22:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I certainly am not adamant about keeping it there. The reason I decided to do so was because the Hebrew wiki's article  puts the Latin in parentheses and many other English articles do the same, so I felt I was following a convention.  I've removed it for now. --Vagodin 01:34, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Anti-Islamic topics
I removed the statement made by an apparently anonymous user claiming that Djinn dealt with anti-Islamic topics since it has proven untrue. I've taken a look at the lyrics: although they certainly deal with occult/mythological topics, I did not find any evidence of a direct attack on the Islamic faith. If Melechesh lyrics contained explicit anti-Islamic statements in a similar fashion to Western bands like Bathory (In Conspiracy With Satan) or Amon Amarth (God, His Son and Holy Whore), the remark would surely be fully legitimated. As this is not the case, it is not aproppriate to speak of an "anti-Islamic" content merely because Djinn deals with Paganism. Vargher 14:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear fellow editors, please do not add unreleased material to the discography section. Although "Emissaries" is known to be released comparatively soon, it can not be found on the market yet and thus can not be listed here. We can only add it after the release has been confirmed by Osmose, the band itself or a sufficiently credible source such as Encyclopaedia Metallum. Vargher 23:04, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Picture
I took a picture of the band on the METALFRONT FEST 2008, but I'm not sure whether to upload it or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathmagnetic08 (talk • contribs) 09:53, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Ethnicity
The Origins section states that Moloch is of Assyrian ancestry. However, in a video interview with a Finnish fanzine Ashmedi claims that "[his]guitar player is Palestinian". Since, AFAIK, Moloch has been the original second guitarist of Melechesh right from the beginning, this undoubtedly refers to him and would indicate Palestinian Arab ancestry. Anyone ever came across other sources stating this?

The video interview can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag2n1g8jnnE (relevant section at about 1:15-1:20) Vargher (talk) 15:43, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Chico Resch

Glenn Allan "Chico" Resch (born July 10, 1948) is a Canadian-American former professional ice hockey goaltender and television sportscaster. He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1973 to 1987, and won a Stanley Cup with the New York Islanders in 1979–80. He has served as the color commentator for telecasts of New Jersey Devils games on MSG Network and MSG Plus.

Junior and minor pro hockey
Resch started his playing career as goalie for the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs. After earning a degree in education, he turned pro with the Muskegon Mohawks of the IHL where he won three awards in his first season: the James Norris Memorial Trophy for the fewest goals allowed, rookie of the year honours, and selection to the First All-Star team.

The following year he graduated to the New Haven Nighthawks of the American Hockey League and then spent most of the 1973–74 season with the Fort Worth Wings of the CHL, where he won the league's MVP Honours and was voted a First Team All Star. He made his NHL debut with the New York Islanders on February 3, 1974, in a 4–2 loss to the California Golden Seals and earned his first NHL victory two nights later, with a 6–2 win over the Minnesota North Stars, before returning to the Wings for the remainder of the season.

New York Islanders
The next season, 1974–75 was Resch's first full year in the NHL. In 25 games, he had twelve wins, seven losses, and five ties, with three shut-outs and a 2.47 goals against average. He did well in the playoffs too, earning eight wins, four losses and a 2.17 goals against average. Resch was in goal as the Islanders overcame 3–0 deficits against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. The Islanders defeated the Penguins in seven games, winning the decisive game 1–0 on a goal by team captain Ed Westfall. The comeback is considered one of the greatest in sports history and is one of only five times in history that a North American professional sports team won a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games (the others were the 1941–42 Toronto Maple Leafs, the 2004 Boston Red Sox (Major League Baseball), the 2009–10 Philadelphia Flyers, and the 2013–14 Los Angeles Kings). In the following round, the Islanders again rallied from a 3–0 deficit to force a game seven, but the Flyers eliminated the Islanders with a 4–1 win in the deciding game.

In 1975–76, Resch played 44 games and earned 23 wins, 11 losses, eight ties, seven shut-outs and a 2.07 goals against average resulting in his being selected to the Second All-Star team by season's end. Over the next few seasons, he shared the goaltending duties with another promising young goalie, Billy Smith. In 1978–79, Resch and Smith backstopped the Islanders to the best regular season record in the league, and Resch earned Second All-Star team honours again. However, the team was beaten by the New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup semifinals.

In 1979–80, his sixth full season with the Islanders, Resch served as the backup through most of the team's successful playoff run to the Stanley Cup. He was one of the key players from the Islanders' 1979 first place team who left the team or had their roles diminished; before the end of the season, General Manager Bill Torrey had traded away longtime and popular veterans Billy Harris and Dave Lewis to the Los Angeles Kings in return for Butch Goring.

Colorado Rockies/New Jersey Devils
The next season, on March 10, 1981, Resch was traded to the struggling Colorado Rockies along with Steve Tambellini for Mike McEwen and Jari Kaarela. He returned to Long Island for the first time as an opponent on February 20, 1982. The Islanders defeated the Rockies 3–2 on a goal in the final minute by John Tonelli. The victory was the Islanders' 15th straight, which set an NHL record at the time. Resch played in Colorado for the rest of the 1980–81 season and the 1981–82 season before the franchise moved to New Jersey to become the New Jersey Devils. Resch shouldered a heavy load over the next few years, but the Devils did not win many games.

Philadelphia Flyers
Resch was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers on March 11, 1986, for a third-round pick in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft (who turned out to be Marc Laniel). He served as a backup to rookie sensation Ron Hextall in 1986–87. Resch did not play in the 1987 playoffs, when the Flyers defeated his old team, the New York Islanders, in seven games in the second round. In the pre-game warm-up of game six of the conference finals with the Montreal Canadiens, Resch was ejected from one of the games for his part in starting a pre-game brawl with Montreal's Claude Lemieux. The Flyers won that series but lost to the Edmonton Oilers in seven games in the Stanley Cup Finals. In 1986–87 he went 6–5–2 in 17 games, his first winning season since he left the Islanders. When he retired in 1987, he was the last active player who had been born in the 1940s.

International play
Resch is the only goaltender to represent two different countries at Canada Cup. In 1976, he was a member of the Canadian team, whereas in 1984 he represented the United States as he attained U.S. citizenship after marrying an American and being a legal resident for many years. In 1981, he turned down Don Cherry's offer to represent Canada at the 1981 World Ice Hockey Championships in Sweden, and represented the U.S. at the same tournament the following year in Finland.

Broadcasting career
Resch was considered to be a good subject for interviews during his playing days, so it was no surprise that he became a television commentator. He began broadcasting during his playing days, often working as an analyst for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Hockey Night in Canada in the playoffs if his team missed the playoffs or have been eliminated from Stanley Cup contention.

After retiring as a player, he worked as a color commentator on the Minnesota North Stars' television broadcasts during the 1987–88 and 1988–89 seasons.

After working as a general manager for a Canadian junior hockey team and as a professional coach, mainly for the Ottawa Senators, Resch served for fifteen years on Fox Sports New York (later renamed MSG Plus) as a commentator on New Jersey Devils games with announcer Mike Emrick. After Emrick left to work for NBC exclusively, Resch spent the next three years paired with Steve Cangialosi. Shortly before the end of the 2013–14 season, Resch announced that he would be leaving the Devils crew and moving to Minnesota at the wish of his wife. He called his last Devils game on April 13, 2014. On October 5, 2017, the New Jersey Devils announced that Resch would be joining their radio broadcast team as the color commentator alongside play-by-play announcer Matt Loughlin.

Personal life
Resch resides in Lyndhurst, New Jersey during the NHL season and in Brainerd, Minnesota and Emily, Minnesota in the off-season. During his playing career with the Devils he lived in Little Ferry and Ridgewood, New Jersey. Resch and his wife chose Lyndhurst for its small-town feel, public transportation access and proximity to both Manhattan and Newark, where the Devils play their home games. His daughter, Holly is an artist and she illustrated of one of Resch's books, Tales from the Devils Ice. Resch is one of the supporters and coaches for Hockey Ministries International in the off-season, where he teaches young boys and girls hockey and ethic skills at Christian Hockey Camps.

Resch was given the nickname "Chico" by the Islanders' teammate Doug Rombough, after the character portrayed by Freddie Prinze on the 1970s sit-com Chico and the Man. Chants of "Let's go, Chico!" rang out at every Devils' game when he played. In the early 2000s, the same nickname was given to the Phoenix Coyotes' goaltender Robert Esche, whose sticks were labeled 'R.ESCHE', which resembled "RESCH".

Awards and honors
Resch played in the NHL All-Star game in 1976, 1977, and 1984; in the 1984 game he was the winning goaltender for the Wales Conference. Also, he was named to the Postseason Second All-Star team in 1976 and 1979.

After crash-landing in Northern Ontario, Phil befriends a red neck child, his father, and a talking beaver as he wanders the Canadian wilderness. Phil is soon introduced to the trappings of small town northern Ontario and adopts the persona and mannerisms of a stereotypical Canadian small town alcoholic while hiding from the ineffectual and mentally traumatized military general who is trying to capture him. Hilarity ensues as his telekinetic powers convince some that he is the Christian messiah and soon joins a local rock band as a singer. A cold hearted assassin from Quebec attempts to end his existence as he and the band go out on tour. The ending consists of suspense, treachery, and dolphins.

Talk:The Life of Riley

Requested move
Move to Life of Riley (disambiguation) and create separate articles for each use. jmd
 * Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~

 * Oppose Philip Baird Shearer 17:58, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Support disambiguation, but oppose moving it all to Life of Riley (disambiguation). Current format is too unwieldy, and the sections on the band and the webcomic in particular are so brief (and in the band's case, a bit repetitious) that they can be left more or less as is, perhaps slightly revised, on a disambig page, at this page name. The breakout topic right now, to my mind anyway, is the "Life of Riley" radio and television series (which incidentally, also spawned a theatrical film, which was then adapted back to radio on "Lux Radio Theater"). Given the history of the show (and the fact that the radio and TV versions are so closely intertwined; the current divisions are artificial and misleading, and the page lacks even basic cast info apart from mentioning Bendix and Gleason), I think it certainly deserves it's own article, as The Life of Riley (situation comedy). In fact, when I have time, I plan to do just that (gradually trying to improve Wikipedia's coverage of radio dramas and comedies, etc.) Aleal 23:22, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Living on my Reillys, Rileys,etc

 * Back when the Rileys were top of the pile, a family coat of arms used
 * to mean something --like a logo supposedly for genetic material. It
 * can be viewed as an abstract representation of a double helix. But
 * when yours is a severed orange hand dripping blood the impression
 * sure wasn't romantic. In Ireland severed hands were an emblematic
 * dime a dozen. Them Celts knew the shock value of body parts.

 * However, ours, if I can claim such lineage, had a great story
 * attached to it. The Riley bros were told by their da that the one who
 * touched Irish land first got their choice of the countryside. So in
 * rowing to shore -- as some sort of boat race was involved -- one of
 * the lads saw that he was slipping behind his sibling(s). Rather than
 * miss out on the chance of a lifetime, junior hacked off his own hand
 * and threw it ahead onto the beach. And the winner, by a bloodied fist
 * is... So the Rileys grasped County Cavan in the open palm of a
 * severed hand thereby learning a lesson or two about sibling rivalry.
 * I live on to tell the story at some time and distance from its
 * occurrence.

 * This quaint episode of family life doesn't enlighten us about the
 * most perplexing aspect of Riley folklore: the origin of the phrase
 * "living the life of Riley". Every now and then someone is sure to
 * write to me with just such a query. Until now, I haven't been able to
 * help them. Fortunately, an American who takes his Rileyness more
 * seriously than I has supplied me with the following explanation.

 * After the incident with the hand the Rileys consolidated their "hold"
 * (sic) on County Cavan. As befits such clannishness they minted their
 * own money. This money was widely recognised for its value, even in
 * England it was accepted as Legal Tender.* The coins became known as
 * "O'Reillys, or Reilly's", and as such, became synonymous with a
 * monied person. A gentleman freely spending his cash was said to be
 * "Living on his Reillys" or "Living the life of Reilly".

 * So if I had 15 Rileys, spent four at the market and gave three away,
 * how many Rileys would I have left? [R15-R4 = R11. R11-R3=R8.] And if
 * I bought a pint of Guinness for myself then shouted the whole bar, I
 * truly would be "a gentleman freely spending his cash" . And no doubt,
 * there would be very few Rileys left.

 * This no doubt explains why I am stuck with the name and am always out
 * of cash. It is in the nature of us Rileys to spend like a man without
 * any hands.

The information on this page seems to contradict: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=life%20of%20riley - I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts? - lawrence at aslak dot net I am not sure the year here is right: "adapted into a *1949* feature film".

Riley Coinage
Is there any concrete evidence (beyond some random guy's blog) that this Riley clan minted their own money, and thus was a probable origin for the term? Or even that it is (or was) commonly believed to be so? If so, a citation should be added. If not, the section should be removed.

--Matthew0028 14:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

No citation/source. Sounds more like myth or even contrived: After the Reilly clan consolidated its hold on County Cavan, they minted their own money, accepted as legal tender even in England. These coins, called “O'Reillys” and “Reilly's,” became synonymous with a monied person, and a gentleman freely spending was “living on his Reillys.” I agree with Matthew0028, cite or remove — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.184.198.241 (talk) 17:02, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

This annoying problem has been unresolved for 10 years it seems. WHEN did the bloody O'Reillys mint their coins or consolidate their hold on County Cavan? Mightn't that be relevant to the question, considering the term appears around 100 years ago? This whole "Irish Origin" has a rotten fishy weasel word aura to it, and it's bloody annoying. Either it has to be footnoted with dates of the coin minting and consolidation provided, or the whole garbage line should be eliminated. It's beneath Wikipedia's aimed-for standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.142.246.221 (talk) 12:19, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

When did the syndicated reruns end?
The article currently states that the syndicated reruns lasted until Bendix's death in 1964. Is this supposed to imply that the reruns stopped being syndicated once Bendix died? I can't think of any other television show having its reruns ended just because the lead actor had died. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Hans Conreid
In the earliest season of the Bendix series, Hans Conreid played freeloading Uncle Baxter, who stayed with the Rileys because he had once given Riley a blood transfusion that saved his life, and Riley felt obligated to let him live with them, even though Baxter had absolutely no interest in earning his keep by getting a job. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.229.254 (talk) 18:01, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

'William Bendix'
Sponsors of the TV show included Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer (1949–50), Gulf Oil (1953–58) and Lever Brothers (1957–58).

Does a line on the sponsors of the show really hold any relevance to the article without a source? I'm indifferent about it and i've already removed an unsourced line about the 'hopes of the fans for the DVD release' so figured best to discuss this second one. MM (WhatIDo WHATIDO?)  (Now THIS... I did.) 19:22, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Origin of title
This source has much more detail, but is not reliable - the phrase probably traces back to a ballad about a kidnapping trial in Sligo in the early 19thC.-Shtove (talk) 10:32, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:.38 Super

Headstamp
My Speer #13 manual says that the official headstamp is "38 Super Auto +P" to help differentiate between modern 38 Super ammo and older Colt 38 ACP ammo. I'm not sure if this has ever been a real problem, though, at least not since the 1950s, as I don't think there have been many pistols chambered for the lower powered 38 ACP other than Colt's 1900/1902 models.

I have some doubts about the appeal of the 38 Super as an armour-peircing round, and particularly its development to fight 1930s gangsters armored cars.

It has been reported in some cable TV documentaries that *Browning Automatic Rifles* (BARs) were popular with some gangsters (Dillon and/or Bonnie and Clyde) and some law enforcement officers (those that ambushed Bonnie & Clyde used a BAR, in addition to other weapons) due to the .30-06 rifle cartridge's ability to penetrate car sheet metal. But this preference was established large because of the inability of PISTOL rounds to reliably punch through cars, and the BAR used a real rifle round.

Other strikes against this theory are the fact that Colt released it in 1929, long before the 1930s gangster phenomenon, and currently the number of 38 Super pistols available is pretty small and usually limited to high-end target and competition weapons.

The .357 Magnum notion is even less so -- the .357 Mag was originally sold as the ."357 Registered Magnum" and was literally "registered" by S&W and sold in limited numbers as a collectors item. It became popular and had some hunting appeal, and gainsed popularity with some law enforcement organizations due its increased power and backwards compatibility with the widely-used .38 Special.

I don't doubt that some law enforcement organizations and even some specific "famous" officers claimed 38 Super or 357 Mag as armor piercing rounds, but that's relative to 45 Auto and 38 Special, not an absolute.

 * Most likely, by "armor" they would've been referring to the padded vests popular among criminals of the time, which .38 Super and .357 Magnum would indeed pierce far more effectively than the low-velocity .45 ACP. Whether .38 Super was developed for that purpose has no bearing on whether it got the job done, which it and .357 Magnum both did. 71.203.209.0 03:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Special Operations substantiation
I'd like to see the claims that this is an armor-piercing-capable round substantiated. I've never heard that, and am an avid .38 Super shooter. Furthermore, specops seem to use carbines rather than pistol rounds for close work (observe the springfield 16 socom, and FN SCAR rifles, to say nothing of the M4). Avriette 20:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Any projectile with enough speed behind it becomes armor piercing by sheer physics. For example there's the 7.62x25 Tokarev pistol round; It's construction is the same as any other FMJ ball round, simply lead with a copper jacket. But it's speed allows it to easily defeat Class II vests. --Mfree 17:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

.38 ACP
I have to disagree that the .38 ACP was Browning's least successful semi-rimmed cartridge. That dishonor would go to the 9mm Browning Long. According to Bady's "Colt Automatic Pistols," the Colt M1902 Military Model and M1903 Pocket Hammer Model pistols in .38 ACP were popular enough that Colt kept them in production until 1927. This is, of course, when the .38 Super was introduced. D.E. Watters 04:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Should this article be split?
.38 ACP and .38 Super may have basically the same dimensions and a shared design history, but the same is true of the 7.63x25 Mauser and 7.62x25 Tokarev. Or, for that matter, 7.62×51 NATO and .308 Winchester. For all their similarities, they're not the same cartridge. 71.203.209.0 03:03, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

DONE I thought it was strange myself. They should have their own articles. Arthurrh 03:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Cultural info
Some mention should be made of two facts -- first, the .38 Super was the 38-cal velocity champ until S&W introduced the .357 Mag in the mid-1930s; second, it was popular in Mexico where civilian possession of arms in "military calibers" -- such as 9mm Luger and .45 ACP -- was prohibited. -- Craig Goodrich 68.227.19.99 (talk) 18:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Performance
The article currently indicates higher velocity than 9mm parabellum +P+. Comparing to the data in the 9x19mm Parabellum article, this is not quite true. It would be accurate to say that the .38 Super exceeds 9mm +P velocities, but not +P+. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.90.194.27 (talk) 19:55, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

 * 9x19mm +P+ is not a standard, as mentioned in the 9x19mm article, it is a designation used by some manufactures to indicate pressures beyond that of SAAMI +P. If you ignore SAAMI standards (in which .38 Super is handicapped because of legacy .38 ACP guns and unsupported 1911 barrels) the .38 Super cartridge has more case capacity so if the right powders are used, it should be able to out perform 9x19mm.

Kitadaitōjima

Kitadaitōjima (北大東島), also spelled as Kita Daitō, Kita-Daitō-shima, and Kitadaitō, is the northernmost island in the Daitō Islands group, located in the Philippine Sea southeast of Okinawa, Japan. It is administered as part of the village of Kitadaitō, Shimajiri District, Okinawa. The island is entirely cultivated for agriculture. The island has no beaches but has a fishing harbor, three ferry docks and an airport (Kitadaito Airport) (airport code "KTD") for local flights.

Geography
Kitadaitōjima is a relatively isolated coralline island, located approximately 9 km north of Minamidaitōjima, the largest island of the archipelago, and 360 km from Naha, Okinawa. As with the other islands in the archipelago, Kitadaitōjima is an uplifted coral atoll with a steep coastal cliff of limestone (the former fringing coral reef of the island), and a depressed center (the former lagoon of the island). The island is roughly oval in shape, with a circumference of about 13.52 km, length of 4.85 km and an area of 11.94 sqkm. The highest point is 74 m above sea level. The interior of the island contains a few small freshwater ponds.

The 660 (as of June 1, 2013) inhabitants live in a village in the center of the island.

Climate
Kitadaitōjima has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen climate classification Af) with very warm summers and mild winters. The average annual temperature in Kitadaitōjima is 23.9 C. Precipitation is significant throughout the year; the wettest month is May and the driest month is February. The island is subject to frequent typhoons. The average annual rainfall is 1469.0 mm with September as the wettest month. The temperatures are highest on average in August, at around 29.2 C, and lowest in January, at around 18.5 C. Its record high is 34.9 C, reached on 7 September 2017, and its record low is 8.2 C, reached on 15 February 2015.

History
It is uncertain when Kitadaitōjima was discovered. It is the most likely that their first sighting was by the Spanish navigator Bernardo de la Torre in 1543, in between 25 September and 2 October, during his abortive attempt to reach New Spain from the Philippines with the San Juan de Letran. It was then charted, together with Minamidaitōjima, as Las Dos Hermanas (The Two Sisters). There is little doubt that Minamidaitōjima and Kitadaitōjima were again sighted by the Spanish on 28 July 1587, by Pedro de Unamuno who named them Islas sin Probecho (Useless Islands). However, on 2 July 1820, the Russian vessel Borodino surveyed the two Daitō islands and named the south as "South Borodino Island".

The island remained uninhabited until claimed by the Empire of Japan in 1885. In 1900, a team of pioneers from Hachijōjima, an island located 287 km south of Tokyo led by Tamaoki Han'emon (1838 – 1910), who had pioneered settlement on Minamidaitōjima, became the first human inhabitants of the islands, and started the cultivation of sugar cane from 1903.

During this period until World War II, Kitadaitōjima was owned in its entirety by Dai Nippon Sugar (now Dai Nippon Meiji Sugar), which also operated mines for the extraction of guano for use in fertilizer. Many of the inhabitants were seasonal workers from Okinawa and Taiwan. After World War II, the island was occupied by the United States. The use of increased mechanization increased phosphate yields marginally until the deposits were exhausted by the mid-1950s. The island was returned to Japan in 1972.

Michael Barker (British Army officer)

Lieutenant General Michael George Henry Barker  (15 October 1884 – 21 May 1960) was a British Army officer who fought in both world wars, notably as commander of I Corps during the Battle of France in May 1940.

Early life and military career
Michael Barker was born on 15 October 1884 in Wells, Somerset. He joined the British Army as a second lieutenant in the 4th (Militia) Battalion, East Surrey Regiment on 28 February 1902, and served with this battalion in South Africa during the Second Boer War, returning home in October 1902. After his return, he took a regular commission in the Lincolnshire Regiment in 1903. He served throughout World War I with the Lincolnshire Regiment and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in 1917, ending the war the following year as a lieutenant colonel.

Between the wars
Soon after the end of the war he attended the Staff College, Camberley, and later commanded the 2nd Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment from 1927 to 1931 before being promoted to brigadier as a staff officer at Eastern Command. He became Director of Recruiting and Organization at the War Office in 1936 and British Forces in Palestine and Trans-Jordan in 1939, during the final stages of the Arab revolt in Palestine.

World War II

During World War II he served as commander of I Corps from April 1940, before being replaced during the latter stages of the Battle of Dunkirk by Major-General The Hon. Harold Alexander, commanding the 1st Division. His performance there was undistinguished; according to Alan Brooke commanding II Corps he suffered a nervous breakdown; he was overwrought with work (and was) impossible to deal with.

His then-subordinate, Bernard Montgomery, remarked that "only a madman would give a corps to Barker." His active military service was finished, and he served for a year as head of Aldershot Command before retiring from the army later that year.

Barker died in 1960, aged 75, in Colchester, Essex.

Personal life
Barker married Barbara Maude Bentall in Essex in October 1914. He was the father of Michael John Eustace Barker (1915–1995) who became, among other things, a merchant sailor, and who was, allegedly, the lover of Stephen Spender and, later, W. H. Auden for a time during World War II. "Jack", as he was known, wrote an autobiography, "No Moaning There!", published in 1962.
