Crown Perth

Crown Perth (formerly Burswood Island Casino, Burswood Island Complex and Burswood Entertainment Complex) is a resort and casino located in Burswood, Western Australia, near the Swan River. The resort consists of a casino, a convention centre with meeting rooms, theatre and two ballrooms along with 32 restaurants and bars, a nightclub and recreational facilities. It also features three hotels: the 405-room Crown Metropol Perth, the 291-room Crown Promenade Perth and the 500-room luxury hotel Crown Towers Perth, which was opened in December 2016. The Crown Perth is one of several Crown Resorts located in capital cities across the country.

1980s
In 1984, the Western Australian Government proposed, at the suggestion of Perth businessman Dallas Dempster, that a casino complex be constructed at Burswood Island on the Swan River, 3 km east of the Perth city centre. This was the site of a large landfill facility, which posed difficulties in the proposal, design and construction phases due to the risk of subsidence resulting from decomposition and also the risk of release of effluent into the adjacent river as a result of pile driving for the construction. The winning bidder to build the complex was Tileska Pty Ltd, a joint venture between Dallas Dempster and Genting Berhad, a Malaysian casino operator. At the time, there were allegations by rival bidders of misconduct against Dempster and Western Australian Premier Brian Burke, but, after a thorough investigation of these accusations, the WA Inc Royal Commission found no impropriety in that regard. This consortium planned a two-stage construction. The first stage was initially expected to cost A$200m, and involved futuristic-looking buildings comprising a 135-table casino, 400-room hotel, 18-hole golf course, convention and exhibition centre, tennis courts, amphitheatre and other amenities, together with a beautification of the Burswood Island area. The second stage of the plan involved the A$100m construction of another hotel on the site, but no time schedule was set for this and the second hotel was not constructed until two decades later. The Tileska joint venture took up 60% of the capital in the Burswood Property Trust, which was to own the complex. Genting would run the resort, having experience operating casinos in Malaysia's Genting Highlands.

Construction of the resort was approved by the Western Australian Parliament in March 1985 in the Casino (Burswood Island) Agreement Act 1985. It was hoped that the hotel-casino complex would be ready in time for the 1987 America's Cup race, to be hosted by Perth, and construction was to a tight schedule to achieve that deadline. The Burswood Property Trust was listed on Australian stock exchanges on 30 May 1985. When it opened on 30 December 1985, Burswood Island Casino (as it was then known) was the largest in Australia, and third-largest in the world. It was expected to receive two to three million visitors per year and have an annual gross profit of A$100m. The public interest in the casino proved so much in its early months of operation that it posted a gross profit of A$1 million per day for its first two months, far outstripping expectations. In its early weeks of opening, people were reportedly forced to queue at the entrance for hours as the gaming floor was at its full legal capacity.

The Burswood Island Casino was opened several months ahead of schedule, and the other parts of Stage 1 (including the hotel, conference centre, theatre and indoor stadium) remained under construction throughout 1986 and much of 1987. By January 1987, the complex recorded its three millionth visitor. Not sharing in this financial success, the Burswood Property Trust encountered financial difficulties and sold the hotel operations in the under-construction Burswood Island Hotel to Japanese investor Brisney Pty Ltd, a joint venture between investment company Yunan Development Co Ltd and hotel operator Kanematsu Trading Co Ltd. On 28 August 1987, the Burswood Dome indoor sports stadium was opened to the public, and was noted as being by far the largest auditorium in the southern hemisphere.

The hotel's opening was delayed by 85 days, largely as a result of inclement weather and industrial disputes. This delay meant that the hotel and conference centre was not available during the early stages of the America's Cup race, necessitating refunds to overseas visitors. Although the 417-room Burswood Island Hotel opened its doors to the public on 4 October 1987, the hotel's management reportedly allowed one of the casino's highest rollers to stay there a day early, during which time he won A$1.4 million, which was believed at the time to be the highest amount ever won by an individual in an Australian casino.

The Burswood Convention Centre was opened on 20 November 1987, and on 8 April 1988, the entire Burswood Island complex had its official opening.

1990s
The casino was expanded in 1990, and an improved International Room (for high-rolling punters) was unveiled in 1995. 1998 saw the corporatization of the Burswood Property Trust, and also saw the complete renovation of the Burswood Theatre. In 1999, the management of Burswood undertook an extensive refurbishment program of the hotel rooms.

In 1996, singer Michael Jackson performed three sold-out shows at Burswood Dome on 30 November, 2 and 4 December, as part of his HIStory World Tour in front of 60,000 attendees.

2000s
In 2000, a $96 million resort renovation and improvement program was undertaken. 2001 and 2002 saw the opening of the Ruby Room nightclub and Champion's Bar, both within the casino, and also the opening of the Grand Ballroom. In 2003, Burswood entered into a deal with land developer Mirvac Fini for the residential development of vacant land between the complex and the Graham Farmer Freeway. Picking up from the long-neglected Stage 2 of the Burswood development plan, in the early 2000s the management of Burswood made various plans to build a second hotel on the site. Eventually, in 2003 they entered into a joint venture deal with the InterContinental Hotels Group to run the existing Burswood Resort Hotel (to be re-branded as Burswood InterContinental Hotel) and a new, 291-room Holiday Inn hotel to be constructed adjacent to the Burswood Theatre. In 2004, Publishing and Broadcasting Limited, whose principal shareholder was Kerry Packer, acquired full control of the Burswood International Resort Casino, and in 2005 re-branded the site as "Burswood Entertainment Complex". On 1 August 2005, the Holiday Inn Burswood opened for business after 29 months of construction. Construction finished three months early and was A$2 million under budget. The promoters proclaimed that it was "Perth's first purpose-built hotel in more than 12 years".

In 2006, Burswood closed its renowned fine-dining Windows Restaurant to make way for a newer, expanded VIP room for high rollers. This new facility, called The Pearl Room, opened in late 2006 featuring 180-degree Swan River views. It replaced the old International Room, which closed its doors following the unveiling of The Pearl Room. In 2007 Publishing and Broadcasting Limited vested its gaming interests, which included Burswood, into Crown Limited, a company controlled by James Packer, the son and heir of Kerry Packer, who died in December 2005. Also in 2007 Burswood opened The Meridian Room – a new gaming room featuring higher stakes open to the general public. The Meridian Room is located at the site of the old International Room, and has been refurbished to feature a contemporary design. MINQ, an exclusive late night bar, accessible only by a hosted lift at the entrance of The Meridian Room, opened in August 2007. Carbon Sports Bar opened in December 2007 and features a giant 12.5 x wide screen and 16 x plasmas. In December 2008, Burswood opened its new world-class dedicated poker room featuring plasma screens, dedicated bar and lounge area. In November 2009, Britney Spears performed two shows at the arena for her highly anticipated The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour. The shows at Burswood were Spears' first concerts in Australia. She was originally supposed to perform five shows in Australia during her 2004 Onyx Hotel Tour (including one at the Burswood Dome), but the shows were cancelled after Spears injured her knee while filming her video "Outrageous". In April 2010 the world-renowned musical Cats performed the first of many shows over a 3-week period at Burswood Theatre.

2010s
On 14 December 2011, James Packer as the Executive Chairman of Crown Limited announced the re-branding of Burswood Entertainment Complex as Crown Perth. In March 2012 it was confirmed that the hotels on site would also be re-branded in line with sister complex Crown Melbourne upon completion of a $750 million refurbishment. InterContinental Burswood became Crown Metropol Perth from 27 June 2012, while the Holiday Inn Perth Burswood was officially rebranded Crown Promenade on 20 June 2012.

On 1 August 2012 it was revealed a new 500-room "six star" hotel would be built at Burswood at a cost of $568 million. The hotel, Crown Towers, was built by Multiplex and opened in December 2016. It is Perth's largest, taking the casino's hotel capacity to 1,200 rooms. Colin Barnett, the then-premier of Western Australia also made the announcement saying his government was also backing a bid by Crown to increase its number of poker machines by 500, and the number of gaming tables by 130.

Casino
The casino operates 24 hours, 7 days a week. it is the monopoly casino operator in Perth, Western Australia. Due to state laws prohibiting them, the casino does not feature reel slot machines. Nonetheless it features "electronic gaming machines" (EGMs), many of which are visibly similar to slot machines, but operate within parameters established by state law regarding visual presentation, operation, and pace of play.

The table games include baccarat, mini baccarat, blackjack, roulette, poker (Texas hold'em, Omaha), three card poker, casino war, progressive Texas hold'em, pai gow, money wheel, sic bo and Caribbean stud.

On 1 August 2012, Crown Limited announced it was seeking a "massive" expansion of gambling facilities, increasing the number of poker machines to 2,500 with gaming tables to increase from 220 to 350, an increase of nearly 60%. The Government of Western Australia is backing Crown's application to the state's Gaming and Wagering Commission, and the proposal has the personal support of WA premier Colin Barnett, who described the increase in gambling facilities "as natural growth," and said it was "common sense" for the expansion as it was being made in line with the development of a new six-star hotel in the casino complex.

Crown has entered into an agreement with the state government to build the hotel on land the government will provide for $60 million. The government's agreement not to object to the increase in gambling facilities is part of the deal. Crown Perth is the only venue in Australia's biggest state that is allowed to operate poker machines. In all other Australian states and territories almost every hotel is equipped with poker machines, while licensed clubs packed with poker machines are widespread.

The proposal to upscale gambling facilities is controversial. Independent senator Nick Xenophon said "James Packer knows he has just been handed the gift that will give him hundreds of millions of dollars for years to come." Ian Carter, chief executive of Anglicare WA, told ABC Radio "The Productivity Commission report and a whole range of other reports around this country have clearly highlighted the cost to our community of gaming machines and poker machines."

Incidents
During the 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup a contractor entered cricket player Virat Kohli' room uninvited, and made a video that was uploaded to a social media platform. Crown Perth issued an apology and terminated the contractor.

Burswood Park
The parklands surrounding the casino is known as Burswood Park. It was originally a rubbish tip, and also the location of a cement works on the eastern side, from the mid-1940s.

The construction of the casino complex also saw the parklands regenerated into a public recreational facility, in the early 2000s.

The park contains wildflower displays, and a heritage trail with various statues. It also initially featured a public golf course that was closed for redevelopment in 2013, with The Camfield, a large pub and micro brewery built adjacent to Perth Stadium now occupying the site. Over the year a number of community events take place in Burswood Park, including Movies at Burswood with proceed going to Telethon Perth, and Have a Go Day, an event for over 55s.

Cremation of Care

The Cremation of Care is an annual ritual production written, produced, and performed by and for members of the Bohemian Club. It is staged at the Bohemian Grove near Monte Rio, California, in front of a 40-foot tall image of a Minervan owl, at a small artificial lake amid a private old-growth grove of Redwood trees.

The dramatic performance is presented on the first night of the annual encampment as an allegorical banishing of worldly cares for the club members and "to present symbolically the salvation of the trees by the club", but the secretive nature of the Bohemians and the political power of some of its members have been criticized.

History
In 1878, the Bohemian Club of San Francisco first took to the woods in Taylorville, California (present-day Samuel P. Taylor State Park) for a summer celebration that they called Midsummer High Jinks. Poems were recited, songs were sung, and dramatic readings were given; the practice was repeated each summer in other areas, primarily near the Russian River in Sonoma County. In 1881, the ceremony of the Cremation of Care was first conducted after the various individual performances, with James F. Bowman as Sire. The ceremony was further expanded in 1893 by a member named Joseph D. Redding, with a Midsummer High Jinks entitled The Sacrifice in the Forest, or simply "Druid Jinks", in which brotherly love and Christianity battled and won against paganism, converting the druids away from bloody sacrifice. Redding formed the framework of the ceremony but the main actors, including George Tisdale Bromley as High Priest, were asked to supply their own major speeches. In 1904, the prologue to William Henry Irwin's Grove Play The Hamadryads included text such as "Touch their world-blind eyes with fairy unguents." The play depicted the intrusion, the battles, and the symbolic death of the maleficent Spirit of Care.

In the earliest productions of the Grove Play, several restrictions were imposed upon the Sire (host, chief planner, and master of ceremonies ) including that the stage setting be the natural forest backdrop and that the "malign character Care" be introduced in the plot, to wreak havoc with the characters and then be faced down and vanquished by the hero. In these early productions, the Cremation of Care immediately followed, and lasted until midnight. The end of the ceremony was signaled by a lively Jinks Band rendition of There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight, and the club members sat down to a late dinner and revelry.

From 1913, the Cremation of Care was disengaged from the Grove Play, and rescheduled for the first night of the summer encampment. The Grove Play was set for the final weekend. A different Sire was appointed for the Cremation, and some concerns were raised in subsequent years that the Cremation of Care was growing into its own secondary Grove Play. Some Sires experimented with a satirical treatment, or topical themes such as a patriotic World War I treatment in 1918 and an unpopular Prohibition script in 1919. "Care" was not killed, let alone cremated, in the 1922 version. In response to member complaints about the unpredictable quality of the opening night fare, Charles K. Field was asked in 1923 to standardize the script for what became the basis for every subsequent Cremation of Care ceremony.

Staging
The ceremony involves the poling across a lake of a small boat containing an effigy of Care (called "Dull Care"). Dark, hooded figures receive from the ferryman the effigy which is placed on an altar, and, at the end of the ceremony, set on fire. This "cremation" symbolizes that members are banishing the "dull cares" of conscience. At the time the script was developed, the primary meaning of the word 'care' (< O.E. cearu, "anxiety, anguish") was synonymous with 'worry', having more negative connotations than in modern times when it tends to be associated more positively with compassion.

The ceremony takes place in front of the Owl Shrine, a 40 ft hollow owl statue made of concrete over steel supports. The moss- and lichen-covered statue simulates a natural rock formation, yet holds electrical and audio equipment within it. During the ceremony, a recording is used as the voice of The Owl. For many years the recorded voice was club guest Walter Cronkite. Music and pyrotechnics accompany the ritual for dramatic effect.

Controversy
On July 15, 2000, radio host Alex Jones and his cameraman, Mike Hanson, infiltrated the Bohemian Grove and filmed the Cremation of Care ceremony with a hidden camera. The footage was the centerpiece of Jones' documentary Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove. Jones claimed that the Cremation of Care was an "ancient Canaanite, Luciferian, Babylon mystery religion ceremony". The Grove and Jones' investigation were covered by Jon Ronson in Channel 4's four-part documentary Secret Rulers of the World. Ronson documented his view of the ritual in his book Them: Adventures with Extremists, writing: "My lasting impression was of an all-pervading sense of immaturity: the Elvis impersonators, the pseudo-pagan spooky rituals, the heavy drinking. These people might have reached the apex of their professions but emotionally they seemed trapped in their college years."

Protests
Outside of the main entrance to the Bohemian Grove, protesters against club members and their guests have held a ceremony called the "Resurrection of Care", intended to symbolically reverse the effects of the Cremation of Care, to prevent the attendees from temporarily abandoning their cares. The counter ceremony was first held in 1980, organized by Mary Moore, a former beauty queen turned left-wing activist. Moore was less concerned about the Cremation of Care ceremony than with the likelihood that club members with corporate interests would gain influence in government.

Chinialon

Khinialon or Chinialon or Chinialus (undetermined origin ) was chieftain of the Kutrigurs. In 551 he came from the "western side of the Maeotic Lake" to assist the Gepids at the war with Lombards with 12,000 Kutrigurs. Later along with the Gepids they plundered the Byzantine lands. However, Byzantine emperor Justinian I ((r. 527–565 – undefined)) through diplomatic persuasion and bribery dragged the Kutrigurs and Utigurs into mutual warfare. The Utigurs led by Sandilch attacked the Kutrigurs, who suffered great losses.

Robotech Defenders

The Robotech Defenders are a line of scale model kits released by Revell during the early 1980s with an accompanying limited comic series published by DC Comics. Contrary to what their name seems to imply, the "'Robotech Defenders'" are not part of the Robotech anime universe adapted by Carl Macek and released by Harmony Gold USA, but they did adopt the same moniker and logo.

The "Robotech Defenders" were one of two "Robotech" lines released by Revell, the other being the "Robotech Changers". The "Robotech Changers" line initially consisted of three models based on the Valkyrie Variable fighter designs from Macross, and the NEBO model, based upon the Orguss of Super Dimension Century Orguss.

The "Robotech Defenders" model line was tied into a two-issue limited series of the same name, published by DC comics. It shares many common themes with other science fiction series of that time, including invading aliens, and giant mechanical war machines.

Model review
Seeking to capitalize on the Mecha craze of the early 1980s, Model Company Revell went to Japan to look for suitable mecha models prior to 1984. They eventually licensed a number of Takara's Fang of the Sun Dougram models for the "Defenders" line. These models were repackaged with the "Robotech" moniker, and released in North America and Europe.

The humanoid Mech models had an average size of 30 cm, the in-scale humans were about 2 cm. One of the features of the models (excepting the Human and Grelon miniatures) was that they were not static, but had fully movable joints and removable equipment. Because of the complexity, details and parts they can be challenging and require adult skill level even though they were sold with "ages 12 and up" on their packaging. Experienced modelers found them challenging, especially the Humans and Grelons.

In the North American market, the models met with some success, appealing to both fans of Robotech and the players of Battletech tabletop strategy game. In Europe, however, model sales were disappointing, possibly due to the non-existent background story included with the models, and the relatively high prices.

The models from the Super Dimension Fortress Macross line seem to be repacks of model kits made by Imai. The models from the Super Dimension Century Orguss line seem to be repacks of model kits made by Arii.

Marketing confusion
Release of the "'Robotech Defenders'" and "'Robotech Changers'" model lines caused problems for media company Harmony Gold USA, who licensed the North American video rights to the Japanese Macross anime series, combining it with two other series to produce an 85 episode series they hoped to market direct to video. Since Revell was already distributing the models, Harmony Gold could not support the show with merchandising. In the end, both companies decided to enter into a co-licensing agreement and the name Robotech was eventually adopted for the syndicated television show that the home video line had transformed into.

Players of FASA's BattleTech tabletop strategy game universe will instantly recognize many of the Revell models as Mechs from the original Role Playing Game sourcebooks. The reason for this is that all of the original edition's 'Mech visuals were based on designs from a variety of anime series, including Macross, Dougram and Crusher Joe, some of which Revell kits are sourced. FASA eventually became embroiled in a lawsuit with Harmony Gold regarding the use of Macross images, and after which FASA removed all Macross related images along with any other images not created in house from their Sourcebooks. Those 'Mechs would later be known by BattleTech fans as 'The Unseen'.

Comic books
The eponymous comic book, a two-issue mini-series, was published by DC Comics in 1984. It was originally intended to be a trilogy, but was reduced to the first normal-sized issue and a 32-page second issue with no advertisement. The universe of the "'Robotech Defenders'" comic book series bears no resemblance at all to the Robotech universe adapted by Harmony Gold USA. The Robotech Defenders comic predates the conception of the original Robotech cartoon show by about a year.

The story followed the battles of a team of pilots who fight a savage race of aliens, called "Grelons", who have invaded all planets of a star system using superior technology. They plan to colonize the planets, using their titanic war machines to eliminate all resistance. The heroes, a small combat unit, are losing badly when their leader accidentally activates one of the Robotech Defenders. She then learns of the existence of the other machines, which are scattered on the other pilots' home planets. Each of these units has a unique range of abilities and environmental specialties (e.g., Aqualo was capable of diving and sea-based activities, Ziyon's Element was cold and snow, Thoren's heat and magma, Gartan's urban combat).

By the end of the first issue, the team have managed to recover all the robots and engage the enemy in battle, but are still defeated and get captured. They escape by pushing a big red button which releases the Defenders' minds, unleashing the latter's' full combat capabilities. The pilots then track down the controllers of the savage aliens. They defeat them by causing the evil alien energy siphon to suck the energy from the sun, causing their space ship to explode.

Revell comic
Revell's division in West Germany, Revell Plastic, GmbH, published a one-shot promotional issue of Robotech Defenders with a subtitle translating to "The Defenders of the Cosmos". Written by W. Spiegel with Artwork by W. Neugebauer, this original comic was not a reprint of the DC Comics series and was not connected to its continuity. It was translated to Swedish and packaged with the model. Like the DC Comics series, it also had no connection to the TV series.

The Scout (1994 film)

The Scout is a 1994 American comedy film starring Brendan Fraser and Albert Brooks and directed by Michael Ritchie.

Plot
After the New York Yankees' latest prospect suffers a humiliating bout of stage fright in his debut for the team, scout Al Percolo, who discovered the young man, is punished by being sent to the Mexican countryside to look for his next find.

Al's efforts are fruitless until he encounters Steve Nebraska, a young American with a consistent 100+ MPH fastball and a perfect batting average. The childlike Steve immediately agrees to join the Yankees when Al asks him, but when Al calls the team's general manager to report his find, he is fired and told not to return. Al defies the order and brings Steve back to the States anyway. The first indication that all may not be right with Steve occurs when he panics at Newark International Airport when he and Al are momentarily separated. Later, at Al's apartment, Steve thrashes in his sleep, screaming at an unseen assailant.

Al arranges an open audition at Yankee Stadium in front of representatives from every Major League Baseball team. After Steve strikes out Keith Hernández and homers off Bret Saberhagen, a bidding war breaks out. The Yankees win the bid war, signing Steve to a $55 million contract, but after Steve violently snaps at press photographers, team management demands that he be psychiatrically evaluated and cleared before he plays his first game.

Al picks the first listed psychiatrist in the phone book, a Doctor H. Aaron, and hopes that the evaluation will be swift, so that he and Steve can get on with life. After examining Steve, however, Dr. Aaron finds him to be deeply troubled and so severely abused as a child that he has blocked almost every memory of his early life. Desperate for Steve to play so that both can get paid, Al begs Dr. Aaron to clear Steve for play, on the condition that he sees Steve everyday before making his MLB debut.

Life with Steve proves difficult for Al; Steve throws plates at reporters outside the apartment, upstages Tony Bennett at his own show, and argues with Al over what he does with his free time. At a press conference, Al lies about Steve's past. Dr. Aaron is livid when she finds out, but Al points out that Steve's behavior stems from her helping him acknowledge and deal with his past. Al pleads with Dr. Aaron to continue the good work she is doing for Steve. When the Yankees reach the World Series, however, Steve is suddenly depressed. Worse yet, he is contractually obligated to pitch in Game 1.

A sold-out Yankee Stadium waits for Steve's debut in Game 1 of the World Series. When Steve is spotted on the roof of the stadium, Al sends for a helicopter to fetch him, then climbs up to plead with him to come down. Steve adamantly refuses, and Al, risking his own career, tells Steve that he can walk away from it all, no strings attached. Touched by Al's selflessness, Steve relents. His spirits greatly lifted, he boards the copter to make his grand entrance.

Steve pitches a perfect game, striking out 27 St. Louis Cardinals batters on 81 consecutive strikes, and hits two solo home runs in a 2-0 Yankees victory. As Steve acknowledges Al as the Yankees celebrate his efforts, Al smiles proudly.

Production
The film was based on a Roger Angell article which had been optioned by Andrew Bergman's producing partner. Bergman wrote his script for Peter Falk to play the scout and Jim Belushi to play the player. "There were honestly five different versions of this movie," says Bergman. "The original version was, he found this guy in Mexico who’s the second white man ever to receive these injections, the first being Babe Ruth. And it was this political guy on the run. It was a completely different kind of movie."

Falk was not available then Walter Matthau was going to make it with Michael Ritchie. The project did not proceed until years later with Ritchie directing and Albert Brooks playing the scout. "That wasn’t my conception at all," said Bergman. "The original conception was much more bananas. The Scout still has glimmers of the original, but not doing the original is high up on my very large list of regrets, because Peter was born to play that guy. He’s so obtuse and that tunnel-vision thing he had was just great.”

In a July 1999 interview with Gavin Smith in Film Comment, Brooks said that The Scout was originally intended for Rodney Dangerfield. "It was lying around, never going to get made, and I said I would like to do that."

Brooks said that he contributed to a rewrite of the script because "it was written very silly." The version he worked on, he said, "did not end like 'Rocky' with that bullshit big ending." But according to Brooks, the studio forced Ritchie to change the ending.

Cameos
Bob Costas, Tim McCarver, Tony Bennett, John Sterling, Keith Hernández, Bret Saberhagen, George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman, Ozzie Smith, Bob Tewksbury and Bobby Murcer, among others, play themselves in the film.

Reception
The Scout was a box-office flop and the reviews were predominantly negative, with TV Guide stating, "'The Scout' feels like a classic case of too many cooks spoiling the broth." Variety also negatively reviewed the film, saying that Brooks and Ritchie "never quite commit to either of the movie's disparate chords -- bailing out of the batter's box in terms of the psychological drama and, after some amusing moments at the outset, generally steering clear of broad comedy." Time magazine's Richard Schickel praised the film, writing, "The Scout is the best comedy-fantasy about baseball ever made, which goes to show that if Hollywood keeps trying, eventually someone will get it right." The film holds a 31% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 26 reviews.

Spicules and fibrils
According to the article Spicule, spicules and fibrils are the same phenomenon seen from two different points of view (ie just like solar filaments and prominences). But the present article implies that they are two different phenomena. Eroica (talk) 07:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Comparing chromosphere and photosphere
I'm a chemist. I know what emission and absorption spectra are, but this section has me baffled. Quote:"Whilst the photosphere has an absorption line spectrum, the chromosphere's spectrum is dominated by emission lines." I am not familiar enough with the Sun's atmosphere to understand what the authors are attempting (and failing) to say. Is it that the gas/plasma in the chromosphere is cooling by emission? (And, if so, how is the energy being transferred INTO the chromosphere?). Are the absorption lines in the chromosphere faint because of the tenuousness of the gas present? Is it that the photosphere is so dense with so many emission lines that the principal feature of its spectra is absorption? Or is the emission not from electronic transitions in atoms/ions? Are the emissions frequencies extremely broad due to the large range of velocities and magnetic fields present, or something else? So IMHO characterizing one as having a emission spectra and the other and absorption spectra is not, without an explanation, very informative. I am confident that both emission and absorption are present in both regions, so the text's description is misleading at best. I am unsure how to fix this while retaining the valid (and useful) information present.216.96.77.46 (talk) 18:37, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Chromospheric Activity Index (R′HK)

Is this the place to cover the Mount Wilson S-index of chromospheric activity
Frequently mentioned in Observational evidence for enhanced magnetic activity of superflare stars so maybe it should be a separate article also linked from Superflare. [https://habitability.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/k_habconf2016/pdf/poster/Mengel.pdf ''A small survey of the magnetic fields of planet-hosting stars''] gives "Wright J. T., Marcy G.

Lead image
Hi all. Recently the lead image has changed back and forth a couple of times, and I would like to address this here. cc

I believe the old image is preferable because it is on-band. Dark mottles are very clear in the new image, indicating that it was taken in the H-alpha wing, not centered on the H-alpha spectral line. More simply, the chromospheric spicules emitting in H-alpha are less visible, showing photospheric granules underneath. (Compare with the GONG H-alpha images visible here and with the images at the end of the ref.) This is not ideal, since this is an article on the chromosphere, not the photosphere. Also, the disk is a lot brighter on the left in the new image, which is an artifact that may be misleading to readers. CoronalMassAffection (talk) 10:15, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

 * hey, I didn't know there were multiple changes of lead image, though I don't like the old image simply because of its poor quality. I found this flickr album by Kevin Gill with multiple photos in H alpha, maybe it has some better image that you think can work? Artem.G (talk) 11:20, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * or maybe this one from nasa Artem.G (talk) 11:33, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * and maybe MotloAstro can address the question of the new photo being off-band, I'm not an expert in the field. My main concern is that old photo is of so poor quality that jpeg artefacts are more prominent than actual sun features. Artem.G (talk) 12:12, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * and I just found that there is a commons category for sun in h alpha, where almost every image is better than current old one commons:Category:Sun by H Alpha light.
 * Sorry for many messages :) Artem.G (talk) 12:16, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries at all :) I have thought about this a little bit more, and I think it would best to use imagery from science-grade telescopes that we can be sure are centered on H-alpha. The series of GONG telescopes and BBSO's 10-cm telescope in particular come to mind. There are not many of these uploaded to Commons, so I have processed and uploaded a 2032x2032 BBSO image and replaced the current lead images with this.

Piecraft 02:09, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I didn't say your vote was invalid; I said it may be invalid; the decision is not mine. It's usually granted that the author, even if anonymous, has the right to a vote on an article he created. However, in your case, you do not appear to be the author and some might consider you a sock puppet. 80.255 01:43, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean now, however I was merely pointing out in my initial comment that the author's article is valid because I myself know for a fact that it is based on actual literature regarding a Hen that lays golden eggs - which has been considered a phenomenon in medieval folklore across Europe as well as a running theme in many fairy tales and stories. Also the Hen or Black Pullet is of considerable importance in the occult as a powerful image. Anyway, I still move to keep this article but perhaps rename it or even combine it with the The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg. which could therefore be expanded as well with this article included. Piecraft 03:52, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It is most definitely a goose. Move as per etc etc. Proto t c 09:30, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: It is a goose - so who's going to search for a hen? What use is a redirect? Should we also have unsystematicly-named articles on Partriges that lay golden eggs, Ptarmigan which lay golden eggs, the Albatross that did lay an egg that was golden?
 * Comment: So let's see according to your statement above we count the number of times that the Gooose appears in folklore (Aesop's The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs which has been sometimes considered a Hen as you can see by Googling it, and The Brothers Grimm's The Golden Goose). Now how many times does the Hen feature in folklore and other affiliated themes? (The Black Pullet, the Russian fairy tale Kurochka Ryaba as stated below and Jack and the Beanstalk, and that's not even mentioning the fact that it is also used as an Alchemical term.) So I guess it's 3-2 for the Hen so far. Also this Hen comes up in other fairy tales as well. However as stated before I feel it should perhaps be placed, moved into a category where the Goose, Hen and other fowls that lay golden eggs can be located etc.. Piecraft 20:56, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * "Goose" is more common in English, which is what matters. N (t/c) 22:42, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * How do you figure that? I think I've provided more than enough evidence to prove against your belief that "Goose" is more common than "Hen". What you are forgetting is I'm not contesting against the fact of it being a Goose or not, but the fact remains there is still a considerable difference between both creatures, one is a Goose the other is a Hen - and in both respects we have seen that they are described as such in their respective folklore. I'll leave it at that. Piecraft 23:01, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * If there exist a notable Russian fairy tale as stated below on this subject, it should be dealt with at Kurochka Ryaba, and not in this article. This article contains nothing about any Russian folk tale, and my vote remains to delete it - if you or anyone else should decide to create a better article about this story in the future, there will be nothing to stop you. 80.255 23:10, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Russian fairy tale Kurochka Ryaba is just about that kind of hen.   Grue   18:32, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Derktar 01:04, August 25, 2005 (UTC).
 * I've checked it; there is a Dutch fairy tale about a hen with golden eggs. This may well be the same as the Russian tale, or it may be the same as the English one about the goose with a centuries-old mistranslation either way. So this should redirect some place, I'll let the experts figure out where. Radiant_ >|< 09:39, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Eosimias

Eosimias is a genus of early primates, first discovered and identified in 1999 from fossils collected in the Shanghuang fissure-fillings of Liyang, the southern city of Jiangsu Province, China. It is a part of the family Eosimiidae, and includes three known species: Eosimias sinensis, Eosimias centennicus, and Eosimias dawsonae. It provides us with a glimpse of a primate skeleton similar to that of the common ancestor of the Haplorhini (including all simians). The name Eosimias is designed to mean "dawn monkey", from Greek eos "dawn" and Latin simius "monkey".

Dating has proven this genus lived from 45 to 40 million years ago in the middle Eocene. The genus Eosimias is unique because of the presence of primitive and derived traits. It provides new insight into the phylogenetic relationships between simians and prosimians (especially the phylogenetic position of the haplorhine prosimian tarsiers). It can best be described as a likely tree dweller that relied on a steady diet of insects and nectar.

Most eosimiid species are documented by unique or fragmentary specimens. This, as well as the strong belief that simians originated in Africa has made it difficult for many to accept the idea that Asia played a role in early primate evolution. Although some continue to challenge the anthropoid resemblances found in Eosiimidae, extensive anatomical evidence collected over the past decade substantiates its anthropoid status.

Eosimias sinensis
Eosimias sinensis (中华曙猿, lit. 'dawn monkey of China') was first discovered in China in 1992 by Christopher Beard. It was found in a mountain near Liyang City, Jiangsu province, China.

The species is believed to have lived 45 million years before present, in the Eocene epoch. E. sinensis was tiny, as small as the smallest monkey presently, the pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea) of South America, and could fit in the palm of a human's hand. Its teeth are considered more primitive than those of early higher primates known from Africa, including Algeripithecus. Due to its highly primitive nature, some paleontologists consider E. sinensis to be evidence that higher primates may have originated in Asia rather than Africa.

Christopher Beard was the lead member of the team that discovered Eosimias sinensis in 1994. Beard recovered a right mandible, cataloged as IVPP V10591, which preserved P4–M2 and roots or alveoli for C1, P2–3, and M3. Although it retains primitive characters such as a small body size (mean estimates range from 67 - 137 g) and an unfused mandibular symphysis, it appears to be a primitive simian based on its dental characteristics, including a lower dental formula of 2.1.3.3. Eosimias sinensis has incisors which are vertical and spatulate. These creatures are known primarily from lower jaws and teeth, no cranial remains have been able to indicate whether Eosimias was diurnal or nocturnal.

Eosimias centennicus
Eosimias centennicus was found in 1995 while doing fieldwork in the Yuanqu Basin of the southern Shanxi Province in China. Among these recovered fossils is the first complete lower dentition of Eosimias, catalogued as IVPP V11000. All anatomical information yielded from these fossils confirms the anthropoid-like traits found in E. sinensis. Biostratigraphic evidence also suggests these fossils are younger than E. sinensis, which is consistent with the anatomy of eosiimids because the dentition of E. centennicus is slightly more derived than that of E. sinensis. This species was also found to be a very tiny primate, with mean estimates of body mass ranging from 91 to 179 g. E. sinesis was originally described on the basis of fragmentary fossils, but with the discovery of E. centennicus and a complete lower dentition, Eosimias can more definitively be described as an early anthropoid.

Eosimias dawsonae
Eosimias dawsonae is the newest of the Eosimias species. It is categorized by the type specimen IVPP V11999, which includes a left dentary fragment and roots of the alveoli. It was collected by Christopher Beard in 1995. Analysis of these remains has led to the conclusion it was the largest of the known species of Eosimias, yielding a body mass ranging from 107 to 276 g. Stratigraphic evidence also shows E. dawsonae is older than E. centennicus.

Unidentified fossils
Additionally, an expedition team discovered evidence of a new, small eosimiid from Myanmar in 1999. The new specimen, represented by a right heel bone cataloged as NMMP 23, was found in wash residue in the Pondaung Formation. This specimen is very morphologically similar to the Eosimias discovered in the Shanghuang region of China. The best estimate for NMMP 23 includes an overall mean weight of about 111 grams, which places it in the upper-sized end of Eosimias fossils discovered. The presence of eosimiid in Myanmar, as well as a high species diversity found in China leads to an apparent conclusion that they had a relatively wide distribution.

Eosimias paukkaungensis
A new species of eosimiid primate, Eosimias paukkaungensis, from the latest middle Eocene of Pondaung, central Myanmar, was discovered in the early 2000s. The specimen consists of left and right mandibular fragments preserving only the M3, so that its generic status is provisional. The E. paukkaungensis fossil is much larger than homologues of the two Eosimias species from China.

Please only remove "cleanup" tags if you're sure that you've done the work; in this case, the article was still full of spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, obscure abbreviations, etc. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Mel, I'll try to be careful with the cleanup tags for now on. However, you have also done something to that article that annoyed me. Instead of editing from my version directly, you completely reverted it and then made changes that were almost exactly same as mine. Although I'm happy with the result, I almost feel as if you are taking credit for my contribution to the article. Solarusdude 00:38, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry; I saw all the errors, and reverted, before realising that most of them had been there before. I'd not worry about stealing credit, though — there's none to be had.  Cleaning up articles is generally a thankless task that goes unnoticed by most people. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 08:22, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Autoparts
Thanks for taking the time to post to the Autoparts talk page after your initial tagging. If I hadn't known more about the company, I would probably have tagged it too. I think that Nick is willing to learn and work with the Wikipedia policies and we may well get a good entry if we can steer him in the right direction. --GraemeL (talk) 19:54, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the feedback. When I tagged his article, I was trying to tag all the nonsense articles as they were coming in from the Recent Changes list. When I first saw the article, it looked like one of those unformatted half-baked articles that people often send in and I slapped the tag without thinking. When I saw the talk page, I realized that someone was really trying to make an effort to make a decent article and I had a change in heart. Solarusdude 00:23, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Alluminum
I've completed your RFD for Alluminum; however, I've opposed deletion as I find it an entirely plausible misspelling. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 21:05:24, 2005-09-01 (UTC)
 * OK, that's fine with me. I didn't know if mispellings were valid redirects. --Solarusdude 21:09, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * No prob! You can check out the list of recommended reasons.  The big one that a lot of people forget is capitalization.  For example, Cbs probably redirects to CBS (or whatever the actual article is).  Cbs itself looks pretty dumb, but it's what comes up when lazy people like myself search for cbs with no caps at all. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 21:52:13, 2005-09-01 (UTC)

Tagging copyvios
Hi, I saw that you recently tagged Synergy/DE as a copyvio. I applaud and appreciate the effort, particularly since it is often one of the easiest ways to get rid of obvious ads.

Just one quick reminder—be sure to blank the page before you add the copyvio template, otherwise the copyvio text remains visible on the article page and may be mirrored on external sites.

Keep up the good work. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 19:20, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the feedback. I'll remember to blank the page next time I find another copyvio. :) --Solarusdude 05:25, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Sugar momma
As far as I can tell, what the article was was original research/POV on a definition of the term that no-one else uses - at least, some quick research suggests that "sugar momma" is invariably used to mean "female 'sugar daddy'", rather than whatever that article was going on about. I was going to redirect to sugar daddy, but it itself redirects to age disparity in sexual relationships, so I figured it made sense to redirect straight through to that rather than have a double-redirect... and it's a lot less hassle to do a redirect, when there's an option available, than go through the motions of an open-and-shut VFD. Shimgray 20:01, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Synergy/DE
I saw the message below re tagging Synergy/DE as a copyvio b/c it was an obvious ad. This was not our intention. As "Synergy/DE" was linked to from the entry for Dibol, I simply plugged in our standard product description (from our Web site). It's not a copyright violation b/c we possess the copyright and grant permission to duplicate the information. Could I tweak the information to make it sound less like an "ad"? Please advise. Thanks

 * Since this is a copywrite issue, I'm not sure if I have the authority to remove the tag myself. I invited an adminstrator, JesseW, to weigh in on the issue. My advice is that it's OK to write an article about your company on Wikipedia, as long as it is informative, non-advertising, and follows Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View standards. Also make sure the language is free of jargon and the context is structured so that a reader who has never heard of your company will understand the article. --Solarusdude 05:31, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

In re: the copyright claim, I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the person who claims she represents Synergex. Note that she must specify that the information is released under the GFDL; permission to reproduce it on Wikipedia only is insufficient. Given that, you could unlist the article from WP:CP and remove the copyvio notice at your discretion.

That said, if the article isn't improved rapidly I would recommend nominating it for deletion; right now it reads like an ad rather than an encyclopedia article. (You could, in fact, nominate it immediately—that gives five days for someone to brush it up.) The third alternative would be to create an article on the company–Synergex–and redirect/merge any articles about their products there. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 17:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok that's what I'll do then. I'll unlist the article as a copyvio and put an advertisement tag on it. If the article doesn't improve in a week or so, I'll vfd it. Thanks for the advice. --Solarusdude 18:05, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Hello! I am an employee at Synergex hoping to establish a credible and informative page about our company and products. I have read the FAQ/Organizations and Your first article.

Taking flash from the net
Howdy! I replaced your speedy delete tag on Taking flash from the net with an AfD nomination instead. "Article is a how-to" isn't covered by WP:CSD, so it gets its day in court. Regards, C HAIRBOY (☎) 21:25, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Alright fair enough. I figured it was a pretty obvious delete but an AFD works fine considering it wasn't listed in the Criteria for Speedy Deletion. Solarusdude 02:15, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree that it is pretty obvious, and I doubt that it'll survive AfD, but it's definately not speedy material per the current criteria. Cheers! C HAIRBOY  (☎) 03:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Categories and stub templates
Thanks for the comment and tip! Looks like I have some work ahead of me!

Merovee Philosopher's Guilde
I noticed that you added a category. Do you know anything more about this society?

Another question, do you know the origins of the secret societies article? I have noticed it on other sites and that is the only reference that I can find for the secret society at UNCG - Merovee Philosopher's Guilde.MiKellie 23:34, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't know much in secret societies. Sometimes when I'm online, I'll modify new articles that are missing minor things like categories or links and then add them in. I'm not really sure if there is a particular person responsible for the secret societies article since the [ history file] shows that a lot of people have contributed to it. I suggest looking through the history and finding the person who entered the particular passage that you're interested in. Solarusdude 02:03, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

grade school math
The only way I know to get something done is to do it. Maybe you can advise me.

I have heard for...how long, twenty years, thirty years, how dreadful grade school math texts are, and when my kids were in school I got a chance to see for myself. Awful beyond belief! My inclination to use wiki rather than wikibooks is that now many people know about wiki, while I never heard of wikibooks.

I'm imagining some poor kid, bright, computer savvy, caught in one of the many schools where the math teacher doesn't know anything. She goes to wiki, goes to the math protal, and finds something like -- well, like the textbook in the Diamond Age is what I'm dreaming of, though that my be a few years in the future.

I don't see the kid knowing about or going to wikibooks. Rick Norwood 23:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Many thanks for your advice and help. I am in the process of doing as you suggest, though it may take me a few days. Rick Norwood 13:04, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

PhilWiki
Would it be possible to host a Philwiki somewhere? It seems like it could be a very effective, dynamic guide for staffers and potential hikers. So many websites that are incomplete, or opinionated, while forums are nightmares. Likewise, Philmanac has errors and has to be reprinted with each update. Meanwhile, so much information about Philmont is inappropriate for Wikipedia.

Alternatively, We could start one on WikiCities. Getting editors for the project should not be hard, with so many fan groups in existence. Getting the basic material is not too hard - there are sources available, while Philmont's records are also usable. Beside this the administrative elements of PhilWiki could all be taken from Wikipedia, to limit the amount of work needed to complete this.

We could invite all the administrators of Philmont, as well as contacting the people at PSA and other people like living descendants of the Abreus, etc. Donbas 17:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds like an interesting project. I've been inactive as far as the Philmont Wikiproject goes but I'm interested in seeing how a wiki just for Philmont will turn out. I agree Wikipedia doesn't completely fulfill the needs that this sort of project requires. Solarusdude 02:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Energy portal
Hi! As a contributor to WikiProject Energy development, I thought you might like to be aware of the opportunity to contribute to the new Energy Portal, now that there is one... No need to reply. Gralo 17:41, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Energy portal & future selected articles
Hi! Over the past couple of months I've been spending much more time than I should developing the Energy portal, and intend asking for a portal peer review within the next day or so. The portal provides a showcase for energy-related articles on Wikipedia. One of the most prominent ways is via a the selected article that is currently changed every 6 weeks or so. It would be good to increase this turnover, and with three Wikiprojects dedicated to energy-related topics and a good number of articles already written, I'd like to suggest that members of each Wikiproject might like to use the 'selected article' to feature some of their best work. With this in mind, I'd like to suggest that your Wikiproject bypasses the normal selected article nomination page and decides collectively which articles are worth featuring - or these may be self-evident from previous discussions - and add short 'introduction' to the selected article at the appropriate place on page Portal:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, which includes further information. Your personal involvement would be welcome! Please make any comments on your Wikiproject talk page, my talk page, or on Portal talk:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, as appropriate.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pink Christina Aguilera Monster.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Pink Christina Aguilera Monster.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 14:49, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
