Wikipedia talk:Bypass your cache/Archive 1

Isn't that just refreshing the page? I thought clearing your cache involved actually going to the cache folder and deleting the files. Angela 22:31, Sep 16, 2003 (UTC)

 * When you hold shift it temporarily ignores the cache when reloading the page, so it's as good as. CGS 22:35, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC).

Ok, but it might be misleading to suggest this is clearing your cache. Shouldn't the page be called temporarily ignoring the cache or something more sensible than that.

Should this go in the page, or is it not worth it because you don't actually need to clear your cache? Angela

IE6: Click on 'Tools' and choose the 'General' tab. In the 'Temporary Internet files' section, click 'Delete Files'. You will then get a dialogue box asking if you want to delete just the temporary files, or all offline content'. Choose either and click 'OK'. Then click 'OK' to exit the options. Mozilla 1.4: From the Edit menu, choose 'Preferences'. Expand the 'Advanced' options and choose 'Cache'. Click the button called 'Clear Cache'. You will need to restart Mozilla for this to take effect.

 * How about calling the page Bypass your cache - it has the same catchy memorability to it (and the ability to come in the middle of a sentence, e.g. " This may be a temporary error, could you bypass your cache and see if it goes away... "), but sounds (rightly) less drastic. As for including the instructions for clearing the whole cache, perhaps we could make clearer that this is for extreme circumstances only - and point out that this is likely to make just about everything you do on the Web slower for several days, while the cache is re-populated. - IMSoP 19:16, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I've made the move, and rewritten the page, hopefully adding more clarity than fluff, although I'm often accused of verbosity. There were only two redirects to fix, so if anyone disagrees with the new name, it shouldn't be too hard to change back.

Incorrect
I've suspected for a long time that the instructions for Mozilla on this page were actually incorrect, but I've only just got round to checking the built-in Help. I can now confirm that Ctrl-R is a normal Reload, whereas Ctrl-Shift-R is a "Force Reload". The relevant section of the online help looks something like this: The exact function of the "Reload" toolbar button is less clear, but the following certainly implies that you should hold down Shift to cause a Force Reload:
 * To refresh the current page and reset all changes made (if the page contains a form), hold down the Shift key and click the Reload button, or press Ctrl+Shift+R (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac OS).

Can everyone who sees this please correct the misconception that Ctrl-R is a Force Reload anywhere else they may encounter it. Thank you.

Checking the page, I see that the instructions for IE also imply that the button on the toolbar will always perform a Hard Refresh (as I believe MS calls it); this seems unlikely, but I'm booted into Linux at the moment, so I can't access IE's built-in help to check. If no-one gets there first, I'll have a look tomorrow. - IMSoP 19:16, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Tested, and fixed. - IMSoP 19:02, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

More browsers needed!
We could really do with some instructions for non-IE, non-Moz browsers. At minimum, we should be able to tell Safari and Opera users how to do a Force Reload. If you have access to either of these browsers, please add the information. Be careful to test that you are not just doing a normal Reload (especially when using the toolbar; help manuals rarely seem to list the procedure for this). - IMSoP 19:02, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I just added Opera.--ThomasK 05:54, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think the opera information is quite accurate. I have found no way to tell opera to request a non-cached version from the wikipedia servers. I'd be interested to know if there is one. Lupin 02:44, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've confirmed this experimentally - I can only make Opera do a "normal" refresh, whatever extra keys I hold down (as evidenced by my Apache log showing "304" reponses, which means "not changed", i.e. use your cache, as opposed to the "200" which would show up if the file had actually been resent). I'll change the instructions on the page to a note that no method seems to exist. - IMSoP 18:34, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Synchronizing
People are mostly good with this, but just as a reminder: MediaWiki:Clearyourcache should be kept in sync with the directions on this page. --David Iberri | Talk 19:21, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, but the real nightmare is keeping it synchronised with the other couple of hundred wikis (not to mention all the non-Wikimedia installations out there). With admin rights required to edit them (reasonably enough), we really need some solid method for dealing with updated interface messages... - IMSoP 16:26, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

WRBH

WRBH (88.3 MHz) is a non-commercial FM radio station in New Orleans, Louisiana. It primarily provides a radio reading service for the blind and print-handicapped, without the usual use of a private subcarrier decoder. It is one of three such stations in the United States. Services include readings of books, original programming, and readings of periodicals, including The Wall Street Journal and The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate. WYPL in Memphis, Tennessee, provides similar services. The station also carries Tulane Green Wave sports, including Tulane's women's basketball and baseball.

The station's licensee is Radio For The Blind & Print Handicapped. The station has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 51,000 watts. The transmitter is located on Tournefort Street in Chalmette, Louisiana.

Founding
WRBH was founded by a local mathematician, Dr. Robert McClean, who was blind. He envisioned an FM reading radio station, with programming content for the blind and visually impaired. In 1975, McClean began leasing airtime from WWNO and renting studio space from New Orleans’ Lighthouse for the Blind. By 1982, his efforts expanded after purchasing the 88.3 FM wavelength, making WRBH the United States’ first 24-hour FM reading radio station for the blind.

In 1994, WRBH purchased a 4,000-square-foot, 19th-century Victorian building on New Orleans’ Magazine Street. This location serves as WRBH's recording studio and administrative space. In 2000, WRBH added its programming to the internet via live audio streaming and podcasts.

In 2014, WRBH partnered with a New Orleans-based marketing and public relations firm to redesign its logo and website while also making the site fully compatible with screen reading software. The station is used by visually impaired persons in the New Orleans region and others worldwide through its online streaming capabilities.

Background
Most information in print and on the internet is not easily accessible to those who cannot read. For the blind and print handicapped community, this lack of access to information can increase their sense of isolation, lower their standard of living, and become a serious obstacle in everyday life. WRBH seeks to keep everyone equally informed by providing access to news and information, promoting cultural enrichment, and encouraging mental and emotional independence for those who cannot read.

WRBH offers a wide variety of programming including local and national news, best-selling fiction and non-fiction books, magazine articles, children's books, event calendars, interview segments, health programs, cooking shows, and grocery store ads, as well as shows geared toward Spanish, Haitian, and Vietnamese communities. This programming is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year because of the work of over 150 volunteers who donate nearly 5,000 hours of their time annually.

WRBH produces several in-house shows including Charlie's Music Show where host Charles Smith interviews musicians of all genres, Writers Forum, which provides an opportunity for local authors to discuss their work, and New Orleans by Mouth, moderated by Amy Sins.

Audience
WRBH's target audience is those with difficulty reading. It also uses real human voices.

Reach
WRBH's terrestrial broadcasting power is 25,000 watts, and the station’s range is 90-mile radius stretching over Hancock County, Mississippi, and the following Louisiana parishes: Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, St. Charles, St. John, Terrebonne, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines.

Awards
WRBH has garnered several accolades over the years, such as the City of New Orleans' Proclamation of Recognition for 30 Years of Service in 2012, the Governor's Media Award in 1999, the Mayor's Medal of Honor in 1998, and the designation as the 257th Point of Light by President George Bush, Sr. in 1990.

Collaborations

 * Lighthouse for the Blind
 * Blinded Veterans Association
 * New Orleans Filipino-American Lions Club
 * Entergy
 * Ben Franklin High School
 * Young Leadership Council
 * The Big Read

Lytle Brown

Lytle Brown (November 22, 1872 – May 3, 1951) was a U.S. Army officer who fought in the Spanish–American War and participated in the Mexican Expedition of 1916. Brown served as Chief of Engineers from 1929 to 1933.

Early life

Born November 22, 1872, in Nashville, Tennessee, Lytle Brown was the son of James Trimble Brown (1842-1878) and Jane Foster Nichol Brown (1845-1916). His father had been a first lieutenant in the Confederate Army and a post-war attorney in Nashville. Lytle Brown was a grandson of Neill S. Brown, an antebellum governor of Tennessee.

Brown graduated fourth in the United States Military Academy (West Point) class of 1898 and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Corps of Engineers.

Military career
Brown served with engineer troops in Cuba in 1898 at the Battle of San Juan Hill and the siege of Santiago before being made Engineer of the Department of Northern Luzon in the Philippine Islands in 1900. After completing his tour in the Philippines, he served an instructor at West Point from 1903 to 1907. Brown oversaw river improvement projects in 1908–12 as Louisville District Engineer.

While commanding a battalion of engineers at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1911, General Brown made Douglas MacArthur, future General of the Army, his adjutant. When General MacArthur was chief of staff, he placed Brown in charge of the Panama Canal district. Brown commanded the 2d Battalion of Engineers and served as engineer of Pershing's 1916 punitive expedition into Mexico. In 1917, he was promoted to colonel, and then in 1918 to the rank of wartime brigadier. Brown headed the War Plans Division of the War Department General Staff from May 1918 to June 1919, addressing important Army policy issues during and immediately after World War I, and was awarded the Army Distinguished Service Medal.

Brown oversaw construction work at the Wilson Dam hydroelectric project in 1919–20. He was assistant commandant of the Army War College and a brigade commander in the Canal Zone before becoming Chief of Engineers, from 1929 to 1933. He concluded his military career as commander of the Panama Canal Department (1935–36). General Brown retired November 30, 1936.

Awards

 * Army Distinguished Service Medal
 * Order of the Bath
 * Officer of the Legion of Honour

The citation for his Army DSM reads:

"The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Army Distinguished Service Medal to Brigadier General Lytle Brown, United States Army, for exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services to the Government of the United States, in a duty of great responsibility as Director of the War Plans Division, for his skill and good judgment in handling the many and varied questions of training, organization and policy that have been acted on by the War Plans Division during World War I."

In politics
In Huey Long's posthumous book, My First Days in the White House, Brown was to have been his nominee to be Secretary of the Interior.

During his retirement, he was active as a member of the National Capital Planning Commission.

Death and legacy
Brown died at his home near Franklin, Tennessee, on May 3, 1951, at the age of 78. He was buried in the Mount Olivet Cemetery.

Douglas Niles

Douglas Niles (born December 1, 1954, in Brookfield, Wisconsin ) is a fantasy author and game designer. Niles was one of the creators of the Dragonlance world and the author of the first three Forgotten Realms novels, the Star Frontiers space opera setting and the Top Secret S/I espionage role-playing game.

Early life and education
Niles was born in Brookfield, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, and his family moved to Nashotah, a small town to the north, when he was twelve years old. Niles developed an interest in heroic fantasy, as well as wargaming, and began writing short stories and making short films in high school. Niles attended the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh, where he majored in speech and minored in English. While there, he met Chris Schroeder, whom he married three years later.

After graduation, Niles began teaching Speech and English at Clinton High School, about 30 miles away from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. “One day, one of my students came up and said she had a note to get out of class that afternoon because she was going to be interviewed by People magazine. Her name was Heidi Gygax. I asked her why People wanted to interview her, and she told me that her father had invented the Dungeons & Dragons game. Well, I had heard of D&D, but didn’t know that the designer lived so close to me. The next day, Heidi brought me a copy of the original D&D Basic Set, and two days later, I got some friends together and played my first game. I was the DM.”

Career
A few years later, one of the players in Niles' D&D campaign went to work for Dragon magazine. According to Niles, “One day, he told me that TSR was hiring editors, and I applied for a job. I took the editing test, which consisted of a 14 page manuscript I was supposed to mark up. I only found three things to change. . . and flunked the test. But TSR was also hiring game designers, and so, armed with a half-written novel and some notes from my campaign, I applied for a design job. I went through five interviews, and gradually convinced them that I could do the job.” Niles was hired by TSR in January 1982, as a game designer. “For the first few weeks I reviewed and critiqued outside submissions, and I wasn’t too good at it. I kept pestering my boss, Al Hammack, for a design assignment, and finally he gave me an old brief for a novice-level module, Cult of the Reptile God, and told me to write it. I completed it in four weeks, and it was published. I don’t know whether they liked it because it was good, or because I did it in only four weeks.” Niles worked on more than just D&D for TSR, “In the summer of 1982, I designed my first game, the Knight Hawks rules for the Star Frontiers game, with much help from my editor, Steve Winter.”

Niles produced several modules for the D&D game, including X3 Curse of Xanathon, B5 Horror on the Hill, CM1 Test of the Warlords, and H1 Bloodstone Pass, and Dragonlance modules DL2 Dragons of Flame, DL6 Dragons of Ice, DL9 Dragons of Deceit, and DL11 Dragons of Glory. Niles is the designer of 1985's World War II: European Theatre of Operations, a grand strategic game. Niles worked on the Battlesystem Supplement, Star Frontiers modules SF4 Mission to Alcazzar and SFKH1 Dramune Run, Indiana Jones module IJ2 Raiders of the Lost Ark, the World War II Game, the Sirocco Strategy Game (with Zeb Cook), and the Endless Quest books EQ #26 Tarzan and the Well of Slaves and Super EQ #3 Escape From Castle Quarras for TSR. Tracy Hickman had gotten Harold Johnson, Jeff Grubb, Carl Smith, and Larry Elmore in on the idea of Dragonlance before Margaret Weis and Niles joined them. Niles authored the rulebook Dungeoneer's Survival Guide (1986). Niles was already working on a trilogy of novels with a Celtic theme to be published by TSR, Ltd., which he then modified to become the first novels set in the Forgotten Realms, starting with Darkwalker on Moonshae (1987). Niles also co-authored The City of Greyhawk boxed set with Carl Sargent, for which he designed the 96-page booklet Greyhawk: Gem of the Flanaess. Niles and Paul Lidberg designed the board game A Line in the Sand (1991), which focused on the Gulf War between the US and Iraq; it was one of the projects originating from TSR West, and was published the day the US started bombing because Flint Dille convinced the company president to move quickly.

Niles has written numerous novels, mainly for the Dragonlance series. Niles is one of the most prolific Dragonlance authors, and in addition to Wizard's Conclave, his Dragonlance titles include The Icewall Trilogy (The Messenger, The Golden Orb, Winterheim), Emperor of Ansalon, The Dragons, The Puppet King, Fistandantilus Reborn, Flint the King (with Mary Kirchoff), and The Last Thane. He contributed nine novels to the Forgotten Realms line, including the Moonshae trilogy and two further trilogies in the Forgotten Realms. He has won both the H.G. Wells award and the Origins award for his work in developing adventure games. In 1990, he left TSR to write fantasy fiction.

Niles has written two World War II alternate history novels, Fox on the Rhine and Fox at the Front (co-authored with Michael Dobson). Released in hardcover by Forge, a division of TOR, "Fox" has been both a main selection of the Military Book Club and a Featured selection of the Science Fiction Book Club. Niles and Dobson also later wrote the World War II alternate history novel MacArthur's War.

Niles has created two fantasy worlds in books published by Ace Fantasy. The Watershed Trilogy (A Breach in the Watershed, Darkenheight, The War of Three Waters) was completed in the late 1990s, and it features a continent divided by mountains into three distinct basins: watersheds of pure, normal water; of magical liquid (Aura); and of vile, poisonous Darkblood. Circle at Center, Worldfall, and The Goddess Worldweaver form the Seven Circles Trilogy, which details a cosmos in which historical characters from Earth can be drawn into the realms of magic, through sorcery both deadly and erotic.

Niles has designed dozens of games for TSR, Inc. and SPI, including award-winning boardgames based on Tom Clancy's novels The Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising, and has also created numerous historical military boardgames, including the massive games European Theatre of Operations and Pacific Theatre of Operations.

Personal life
Niles resides in Delavan, in the Wisconsin countryside, with his wife Christine and his son David. His daughter, Allison, served overseas as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. His hobbies include hiking, bicycling, playing the guitar, and spending time with his friends and family.

Talk:Lara Flynn Boyle

Untitled
What about her suffering from an eating disorder? Or is that all speculation? I ask.137.73.160.86 21:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Boyle became a known actress for Twin Peaks, but the article says she got her "big break" in "The Practice?" What does that mean? Steve-O

I'm editing this to fix that; obviously this article was written by someone who had relatively little knowledge of Ms. Boyle's career. Daydream believer2 06:04, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I can understand that some people might be excited by the 'anal bleaching article', however this doesn't change the fact that there is no room for a gossip of this kind in an ecyclopedia. Also the existence of a source doesn't automaticaly imply the necessity to include it's content here. I would suggest those continualy reverting this issue to concentrate their energies on something more usefull. Jurohi 01:56, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, the rumour regarding Flynn Boyle is notable and worthy of mentioning in the article. There are many mentions of it on the web (Googling for "lara flynn boyle" "anal bleaching" gives 672 hits, "lara flynn boyle" "anus bleaching" - 581, "lara flynn boyle" "anus bleached" - 1,520). Compare the rumour to that of the Richard Gere 'gerbil story', which (despite being completely false) gets a mention in his article. The anal bleaching comment has an actual, verified source and unlike the example above is more than just a piece of netlore.
 * I will re-word the sentence in question in order to make it clear that Flynn Boyle has neither confirmed, nor denied the reports - but I would kindly ask you to read Civility, as your comments strike me as rather confrontational. --Kurt Shaped Box 00:32, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Aparently you missed the point: I am not questioning whether the fact is true or not, ie it may be true, but still I believe it is not conform with Wikipedia philosophy. See Category:Living people. Jurohi 00:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Bad Plastic Surgery
Sometime between MEN IN BLACK 2 (2002) and LIFE IS HOT IN CRACKTOWN (2009) LFB had some unfortunate plastic surgery to her face (evidently to her mouth and cheeks), with the effect of giving her a conspicuous and permanent frown and an unattractive squint. She had been stunning and now she was almost frightening. This got a lot of ink at the time and her career took a nose-dive, and her screen roles not only dwindled but changed markedly. Somehow, this watershed event in her career is not mentioned ... and it ought to discussed in some detail. Sussmanbern (talk) 08:46, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Odd statement without source
Someone thinks that this is suitable for inclusion: Whilst it is marginally preferable to the previous version—which referred to her anus—there is still no source for such a statement: I have therefore moved it here just on the off-chance that someone might come up with a source (because you never know). HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 09:00, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * She apparently has had her right areola bleached.

where'd she grow up?
Inner city working-class Chicago? What happened to the (substantial) amount of her childhood spent in relatively-rural Wisconsin more than a hundred miles from Chicago's city limits...? 69.219.146.25 03:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Needing Photo
this article needs a photo of the actress. Does anybody have a non-copyrighted photo (probably from cover of a magazine)?--Pejman47 18:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

The current photo is from the Vanity Fair photoshoot, but a scan of the actual photo I won in an auction. I am not quite sure of the legalities with it, which is why I left it unsure, but hopefully it will be alright.--Lightingale 19:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

So, why exactly was the image removed with no explanation by a person no longer a member? Just wondering. Thank you.

Lara is not pronounced Laura
If you want the U-sound, add the U, annoying parents. 71.131.186.158 (talk) 12:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Needs a new picture, definitely
The current one is old, bad quality, and serves no justice to her beauty —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.199.249.160 (talk) 05:40, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I disagree with that. This pic shows her beauty quite well. At least if comparing what's left of it nowadays. I just saw the Law & Order episode which was mentioned in the article, and she looked awful. Almost didn't recognize her. Maybe a newer photo could be there to show how she looks today. 85.217.15.47 (talk) 03:43, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

¶ On a related note, I don't see a comment about her plastic surgery, which definitely damaged her looks. Over the years her looks changed dramatically: I think someone would have trouble identifying her in Poltergeist-3 and as the same person in Men in Black-2, but then came the plastic surgery and her appearance in Life is Hot in Cracktown was a real shocker. Sussmanbern (talk) 05:27, 6 February 2012 (UTC) ¶ Seven years after that comment, still no mention of her plastic surgery nor the effect on her career. Sussmanbern (talk) 07:07, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Her appearance has dramatically altered. She is virtually unrecognizable now. Sadly, she's now one of the archetypical examples of horrendous plastic surgery. All the more strange in that she's not that old, and most other celebrities who have done this to themselves did so after 50 or even later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.252.4.21 (talk) 02:32, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Declared mentally retarded?
You're an idiot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.191.119.40 (talk) 08:12, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

By her own account LFB is color-blind, dyslexic, and near-sighted. Color-blindness is less common in women than men. Sussmanbern (talk) 08:40, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

in television
according to the IMDB, she was in two episoedes of alley Mcbill.. can you fix it?

Change in photo
This has been brought up before but the photo needs to be changed. It is nearly 30 years old and is being done to avoid her current looks. It’s dishonest to have that as the picture. IEditThingsForYou (talk) 21:54, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

The Forester Sisters

The Forester Sisters were an American country music vocal group consisting of sisters Christy, June, Kathy, and Kim Forester. Having performed together locally in their native Lookout Mountain, Georgia, since the 1970s, the four sisters began singing full-time in the 1980s and signed to Warner Records Nashville in 1984. Their greatest commercial success came between then and 1991, when they charted fifteen top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, five of which went to number one: "I Fell in Love Again Last Night", "Just in Case", "Mama's Never Seen Those Eyes", "Too Much Is Not Enough" (with The Bellamy Brothers), and "You Again". They won the Academy of Country Music Group of the Year award in 1986 and were nominated three times for a Grammy Award. In addition to their country music albums, they released multiple albums of gospel music and one of Christmas music.

The group's sound is defined primarily by four-part vocal harmonies, most often with Kim or Kathy singing lead vocals. Their style has been compared to other contemporary family-based country music groups such as The Judds and The Whites, while critical reception to their body of work has generally been mixed. The sisters retired from the music industry in 1996 and found work in other fields.

Early life
The Forester Sisters are four sisters who were born and raised in Lookout Mountain, Georgia: Kathy (born January 4, 1955), June (born September 22, 1956), Kim (born November 4, 1960), and Christy (born December 21, 1962). The sisters' parents, Vonnie Geneva (née Gray; 1932–2018) and Clyde D. "Bunk" Forester, would encourage the four to rehearse music for church choir every week, something which Christy later observed would help the sisters learn how to sing in harmony.

In addition to their church work, Kathy and June performed in local bands during the late 1970s while also holding jobs as schoolteachers. After Christy had finished college, the four sisters decided to begin performing professionally. Songwriters Bobby Keel and Billy Stone discovered them at a local music festival, and invited them to record a demo at a music studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The demo tape was sent to Paige Rowden, the artists and repertoire representative for Warner Bros. Records' Nashville division, who arranged for them to audition at the label after hearing them open for Larry Gatlin. Jim Ed Norman, a record producer who was then also the president of Warner Bros. Nashville, signed the sisters in late 1984. According to Kim, when the sisters were first contacted by the label, she thought that the call was a prank and immediately hung up before the label called a second time.

Career
The group's debut single "(That's What You Do) When You're in Love", released in mid-1985, reached a peak of number ten on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. The song served as the lead single for their self-titled debut album released later that year. Three more singles from the album would reach number one on the same chart by 1986; in order of release, these were "I Fell in Love Again Last Night", "Just in Case", and "Mama's Never Seen Those Eyes". Muscle Shoals-based songwriters Terry Skinner and J. L. Wallace produced the album and co-wrote both "When You're in Love" and "Mama's Never Seen Those Eyes"; they wrote the former with Ken Bell, with whom they had previously recorded in the band Bama. "Just in Case" was written by Exile members J. P. Pennington and Sonny LeMaire, and previously recorded by that band on their 1984 album Kentucky Hearts. Sales figures from Warner Bros. Nashville indicated that more than 100,000 copies of "I Fell in Love Again Last Night" were sold. Coinciding with the success of this album, the sisters were nominated by the Academy of Country Music for Vocal Group of the Year in both 1985 and 1986, winning the award in the latter year. The album itself was nominated for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 28th Annual Grammy Awards in 1985. Also stemming from the album's commercial success was an extensive touring schedule, consisting of performances with Alabama, George Jones, Ricky Skaggs, and several other country music artists throughout 35 states. An uncredited review in People was mixed, calling their sound "heavy on country" and stating that the gospel sound of "The Missing Part" "adds a distinct warmth that blends cosily with the quartet's brightness". At the time of the album's release, Kathy lived with her husband Terry Adkins, who was also their manager and bass guitarist, while the other three sisters continued to live with their parents.

The quartet's second album was 1986's Perfume, Ribbons & Pearls. It charted only one single in "Lonely Alone", which spent two weeks at the number two position on Hot Country Songs that year. Contributing songwriters to the album included Pam Tillis, Bob McDill, and Walt Aldridge. As with the previous album, Skinner and Wallace stayed on as producers. People published a positive review, praising the vocal deliveries of all four sisters while also stating that the album "warms the heart while it invigorates the toe". Cliff Radel of The Cincinnati Enquirer rated the album 2 out of 5 stars, calling the singing "clear as the sky on a crisp fall day" but criticizing the "poverty stricken songs". Montreal Gazette writer Lucinda Chodan contrasted the quartet's sound with that of The Judds, stating that "those celestial voices are harmonizing in the service of songs that, for the most part, are about as individual as pennies in a jar." She thought that "100% Chance of Blue" and the cover of The Supremes' "Back in My Arms Again" were the most distinct songs, but still criticized the production. After "Lonely Alone", the Forester Sisters were featured vocalists on The Bellamy Brothers' late-1986 hit "Too Much Is Not Enough", a number-one single from their album Country Rap. Following this song's success, the two acts toured together the following year on the Brothers and Sisters Tour.

Late 1980s
You Again, the sisters' third album, accounted for three singles upon its 1987 release. First was a cover of Brenda Lee's 1965 hit "Too Many Rivers", which the Forester Sisters took to top five on the country charts. After it came the title track, which became the sisters' fifth and final number-one hit. The last single was the top-five "Lyin' in His Arms Again", also written by Skinner and Wallace. The two split the album's production duties with Barry Beckett, James Stroud, and Emory Gordy Jr. Also included on the album was "Sooner or Later", later a top-ten hit in 1990 for Eddy Raven. James M. Tarbox of Knight Ridder News Service reviewed the album favorably, considering the album "consistent" for its lyrical themes of love while also noting that the sound was both "traditional" and "savvy for a couple of tunes to easily cross over to other formats." Alongside You Again, the sisters also recorded A Christmas Card, an album composed of traditional Christmas carols which was issued later in 1987.

The next album was 1988's Sincerely. Its lead single was "Letter Home", followed by a cover of the 1950s pop standard "Sincerely", and finally "Love Will". Included on the album were a cover of The Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face", and the Harlan Howard composition "These Lips Don't Know How to Say Goodbye", later a top-ten country hit for Doug Stone in 1991. Songwriter Wendy Waldman, who wrote "Love Will", handled most of the production duties on this album, with assistance on some tracks from Beckett, Stroud, and Norman. Sincerely accounted for the quartet's second Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal nomination at the 31st Annual Grammy Awards in 1988. Jan Walker of The Orlando Sentinel said that "there's a confident sound to each of the 10 songs on the album, a showcase for the seemingly effortless natural harmony of four sibling voices." William Ruhlmann of AllMusic reviewed the album with favor as well, stating that "[a]lready the possessors of a wonderful vocal harmony style, The Foresters hit a peak when they hooked up with writer/producer Wendy Waldman for this album, cutting her 'Letter Home' and other strong material".

Warner Bros. released two more projects featuring the sisters in 1989. First was a gospel album entitled All I Need. This included renditions of traditional hymns and spirituals such as "Amazing Grace" and "Precious Memories", along with popular 20th-century gospel songs such as "This Ole House". Christy described the album as "roots that we returned to", a reference to the sisters' upbringing as singers in their churches. Norman, Beckett, and Stroud co-produced the album. Later in 1989 came a Greatest Hits package. Included on it were two new songs: "Don't You" and "Leave It Alone", both of which reached top ten on Hot Country Songs that year. By decade's end, the group's first fourteen singles had all achieved top-ten positions on that chart, at the time the longest such streak achieved by a new artist since the Billboard country charts were expanded to 100 positions in the 1960s.

1990s
Despite the momentum of their previous singles, the group's 1990 album Come Hold Me was unsuccessful on the country charts, with neither of its two selected singles reaching Top 40. These were a cover of John Hiatt's "Drive South" which also featured guest vocals from the Bellamy Brothers, and "Nothing's Gonna Bother Me Tonight". Waldman produced the album by herself this time. Contributing musicians included Sam Bush, Mark O'Connor, Willie Weeks, and Craig Bickhardt. Jerry Sharpe of The Pittsburgh Press gave the album a mixed review, saying that it had "too much rock coupled with so-so material". He praised the singles, along with the title track and "You'll Be Mine" as the strongest for their vocal performances.

In April 1991, Warner released the group's next album Talkin' 'Bout Men. Robert Byrne, another Muscle Shoals-based musician, produced the album and played guitar on it. It was recorded in the same studio where the group had made their demos and first two studio albums. The sisters noted that previous producers had wanted to highlight their "softer" sound, whereas Byrne was willing to include country rock and Western swing. Lead single "Men", co-written by Byrne, went on to chart at number eight on Hot Country Songs that year. Kim said of "Men", a novelty song about the relationships between men and women as seen from a woman's perspective, that she found it relatable because she had listened to it after having an argument with her husband. The song's success also led to a parody called "Women", recorded on Curb Records by a studio band called the Bandit Brothers; by mid-1991, this parody had charted on Hot Country Songs as well. "Men" became the sisters' third nomination for Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, receiving the nomination at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards in 1991. Despite the success of "Men", the album charted only one other single in "Too Much Fun", which reached number 62. Johnny Loftus reviewed the album with favor on AllMusic, calling "Men" a "Bonnie Raitt-lite country pop number", and finding influences of Western swing and gospel in some tracks while simultaneously complimenting the sisters' harmonies.

The sisters' final chart entries came in 1992 from the album I Got a Date. Both "What'll You Do About Me" (later a top-20 hit in 1995 for Doug Supernaw ) and the title track fell short of the country music top 40. June told The News-Press at the time of the album's release that the sisters wanted to show their "witty, mischievous side". The group also saw it as a concept album thematically similar in concept to "Men". Kim highlighted the title track in particular, stating that she was going through a divorce at the time of recording and felt that at the age of 31, she was "too old to start dating again". Tom Roland of AllMusic wrote that the album was "wide-ranging stylistically, with a strong dose of wit, particularly in the title track and 'Redneck Romeo.'"

The sisters took a hiatus from recording for much of the mid-1990s, but continued to tour regionally, though primarily on weekends in order to tend to their children the rest of the week. They returned to the studio for a new album called More Than I Am in 1996. Warner marketed the album as "positive country", featuring positive and spiritual messages without being explicitly contemporary Christian music in nature, and taking inspiration from similar releases by Ricky Van Shelton and Susie Luchsinger. Christy's husband, Gary Smith, produced the album and played keyboards on it. Among the contributing songwriters were Karen Staley and Paul Overstreet, the latter of whom had previously co-written the group's "I Fell in Love Again Last Night". After this album, the sisters decided to retire from the music business, citing both a desire to spend more time with their families and the genre's increasing focus on male artists. Kathy subsequently became a music teacher, June a teacher for students with visual impairments, and both Kim and Christy, interior designers. The four sisters have since reunited to give the occasional performance, notably in 2013 to honor their induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

Musical styles
The group's sound is defined mainly by four-part vocal harmonies, typically with Kim or Kathy handling the lead vocal parts. However, both Perfume, Ribbons & Pearls and Come Hold Me featured songs where Christy or June sang lead instead. Of the vocal arrangements, Christy told The Tennessean in 1985 that "it's just pretty much what we hear in our heads". Due to their early experiences singing in church, the sisters would often sing a cappella gospel standards in concert. The sisters have cited Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt as their primary musical influences. Thomas Goldsmith of The Tennessean wrote that Kim's "alto voice is key to the group's densely textured sound". He also noted between their first two singles the "unusual subject matter" of "When You're in Love", about a woman who "threatens reprisal" for an unfaithful husband, as well as the "carousel keyboards and ringing guitars" of "I Fell in Love Again Last Night". A review of Perfume, Ribbons & Pearls published in People compared Kathy and Kim's voices favorably to Terri Gibbs. James M. Tarbox of Knight Ridder News Services described the sisters' voices as having "a coquetteish playfulness they keep under enough control that it neither becomes cloying nor prevents them from offering something as thoughtful as the hit 'Too Many Rivers'".

The Forester Sisters were frequently compared to other family music groups of the time, including The Judds and The Whites. An uncredited review from People called the sisters "the cheeriest bunch of good old gals... since The Mandrells" (Barbara Mandrell, Louise Mandrell, and Irlene Mandrell), and noted that unlike The Whites, the Forester Sisters did not have a male vocalist to "[give] more depth and richness to the family harmonies". The sisters' concerts were reportedly more heavily attended by women than men, an observation made by both Billboard and The Tennessean. Similarly, a review of Perfume, Ribbons & Pearls in People stated that "Along with the Judds, the Foresters have helped fill the female group gap in country music". Colin Larkin wrote in the Virgin Encyclopedia of Country Music that "their glossy, professional sound and looks appealed to country fans".

The Temptations in a Mellow Mood

The Temptations in a Mellow Mood is a studio album by the Temptations, released in 1967 by Gordy Records. Composed primarily of pop standards such as "Ol' Man River" and "For Once in My Life" (later a major hit for Motown labelmate Stevie Wonder), and similar songs written by Holland-Dozier-Holland and other Motown staff songwriters, the Mellow Mood album was part of Motown chief Berry Gordy's crossover plans for the group. Gordy wanted the Temptations, already the most popular male group among black audiences, to attract a large white fanbase and be able to secure playdates at supper clubs like the Copacabana, where the group had first performed in the summer of 1967.

The Temptations themselves, and Paul Williams in particular, were worried about appearing as sell-outs to their black fans and the radio DJs who had made them popular in the first place. However, both pop and soul fans responded to the Mellow Mood album, and the Temptations reached Gordy's desired goal of crossing over to white audiences. "Ol' Man River" was already present in the Temptations' performance repertoire as bass Melvin Franklin's solo spot, and "For Once in My Life" soon became a solo showcase for Williams, who performed a particularly acclaimed version of the song for the TCB television special in late 1968. The group would revisit the idea of an album of pop standards in 1995 with For Lovers Only.

Nicholas Greenberry

Colonel Nicholas Greenberry (circa 1627 – December 17, 1697) was the 4th Royal Governor of Maryland, and Commander of the Military Forces of Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties.

Early life and family
Nicholas Greenberry was born in about 1627 to unknown parents. One possibility proposed by Charles Francis Stein, who studied the seal that Nicholas Greenberry used:

"I made a careful examination of the seal impressions left by Nicholas Greenberry and his son. The shield, having a bend with three lozenges (diamond shapes) can be seen without much difficulty, and the crest above the knight's helmet, seemingly a horned animal's head in profile, was most evidently a unicorn. 'Pursuing the matter further, I discovered that there was one family arms listed as having the combination of a band with three lozenges on the shield with a unicorn's head for the crest. This is the English family of CARRINGTON, a family of ancient noble descent. According to Burke, the chief line of the Barons of Carrington became extinct in the time of Queen Elizabeth. Colonel Nicholas Greenberry was born a generation later, in 1627. It would seem probable that he was closely related to the Carringtons. Could it be that his mother was a Carrington and his father perhaps a member of the royal family?"

There is also a Nicholas Greenberry who was baptised in 1640 at Irnham, South Kesteven, Lincolnshire, England. This Nicholas was the son of Nicholas and Catherine Greeneberrie née Hawkins of Irnham, Lincolnshire, England.

A Nicholas Greenberry also shows up in the state papers of Charles II:

"In June 15(?), 1667 a note by Walter Cowdry, keeper of Newgate, of seven prisoners, ordered to be transported by their own consent, and of Nich. Greenberry, left to Lord Chief Justice Kelynge.

In June 1667 was the Petition of Nicholas Greenberry to the King, for reprieve or release from prison; is committed for want of sureties, on suspicion only of burglary, yet is to be tried for his life at the assizes, at Brentwood, Essex. Desires to serve under Lord Belasye at Tangiers, or elsewhere beyond seas. Annexes, 93. I. Declaration by John Shadwell, clerk of Newgate, that Greenberry was committed August 31, 1666, for want of security, and afterwards impeached before Lord Chief Justice Kelynge for breaking into a dwelling house."

Sometime between 1666 and 1671, Nicholas Greenberry married Anne (surname unknown). Nicholas and Anne Greenberry had at least four children, two born in England: Charles, born in 1672 at Holburn, London, Middlesex, England and Katherine, born in 1674 at Holburn, London, Middlesex, England, and two born in Maryland: Anne, born in 1676 and Elizabeth, born in 1678. English burial records show two children of a Nicholas Greenberry were buried in England between 1667 and 1671: Anne, buried 6 Aug 1667 at St Giles, Goudhurst, Kent, England, and Elizabeth, buried 19 Mar 1671 at Hoborn, London, Middlesex, England.

Nicholas Greenberry arrived at Patuxent, in the Maryland Colony, aboard the sailing ship Constant Friendship in 1674. He was accompanied by his wife, two children (Charles and Katherine), and three servants. On 9 July 1674, Capt. William Wheatly, master, claimed rights due for transportation of 43 passengers on board, including "Mr Greenberry his wife & two Children."

Land ownership
According to Maryland Land Warrants, Annapolis Land Office, Liber 15, folio 837, Greenberry was granted a warrant for 350 acre of land located in "Providence" (now Annapolis) on July 29, 1674.

Later, in 1680, Nicholas bought another tract of land near "Providence" called "Fuller" from Colonel William Fuller. This land was resurveyed and renamed "Greenberry Forest." Greenberry called the home "Whitehall," a name it retains to this day. In later years, this home became the residence of Horatio Sharpe, governor of the Maryland Colony. Sharpe had a Georgian mansion built on the site.

In 1685, Colonel Nicholas Greenberry bought 250 acres (1 km2) of land called "Towne Neck." This is located at the mouth of the Severn River and became known as "Greenberry Point." The colony's Deputy Governor, Governor Notley, was forced from office for hanging two Protestants for rebellion against authority. He was replaced by a committee of twenty citizens. Greenberry was one of the gentlemen justices chosen as a member of that committee.

Revolt
On July 27, 1689, the Protestant Association, under John Coode, seized St. Marys, the capital of the colony, in a revolt against the proprietary government. This same year, Nicholas was captain of foot in the Anne Arundel County Militia. He was promoted to major in 1690. He then quickly received a commission of colonel, and was appointed commander of the Military Forces of Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties.

The proprietaryship was disallowed on June 27, 1691. Sir Lionel Copley took the office as governor, and quickly appointed Greenberry as a member of the council. Copley died in September 1693, at which time Greenberry was appointed by Sir Edmund Andros, Governor of Virginia, as president of the Council, acting governor of Maryland, and Keeper of the Great Seal of Maryland. Greenberry served in this capacity until he was replaced on July 26, 1694, by Francis Nicholson by a commission from the King dated in February 1694.

High court appointment
On 2 March 1695, Nicholas Greenberry was on the high Court of Chancery of Maryland. Here is the way it reads verbatim:

"William ye third by ye grace of God of England, Holland, France, and Ireland, King Defender of ye faith &c to Coll. Nicholas Greenberry, Kneln Chesteldyne and Ma'r Edw. Dorsey, Esqrs. Greeting.

Whereas by a late commission granted by us and our Royal Consort Mary lately deed dated ye 14th day of last Coll. Henry Jowles, Esq. was instituted Chiefs Judge in Chancery & Keeper of our Great Seal of Maryland & Kenelm Chrseldyne & M'jr Edwd. Dorsey, Esqs joynt Commissioners & Assistant Judges in our high Court of Chancery for ye sd province and whereas ye said Coll. Henr. Jowles, Esq. being at present afflicted with ye Gout & other indispositions of body is therefore unable to attend ye said Court of Chancery and ye causes in our said Court require a dispatch & cannot without public prejudice be delayed, KNOW YET WE have therefore assigned you ye sd. COLL. NICHO. GREENBURY.

Jowles (together with ye assistant Judges joynt in ye said Commission with him) shall be able to attend his said office and to keep the cause to be kept all ordinances, rules &c. March 2, 1695."

Death
Nicholas Greenberry died at the age of 70 on December 17, 1697, at Whitehall. His wife Anne died April 27, 1698, at the age of 50. Both are buried in St. Anne's Episcopal Church Cemetery, Annapolis, Maryland.

The inscription on Nicholas' tombstone reads:

"Here Lyeth Interred The Body Of Col Nicholas Greenberry Esq Who Departed This Life The 17th Day Of December 1697 Aetatis Suae 70"

Nicholas Greenberry's will mentions his wife Ann and his four children, Charles, Katherine, Anne, and Elizabeth.

Winding stick

In woodworking and carpentry, a pair of winding sticks is a tool that aids in viewing twist (also known as wind) in pieces of lumber by amplifying the defect. Winding sticks can be as simple as any two straight sticks or they can be elegant, decorated, dimensionally stable wood like mahogany. A pair of framing squares may also be suitable. Traditionally they are 16 in to 30 in long, 1+3/4 in tall and tapered in their height from 3/8 in to 1/8 in. The longer the winding sticks, the more they will amplify the wind. It is common for a woodworker to make a matching pair for the purpose, and contrasting colors of woods improve the discernability of differences in level between the two sticks as they are compared.

One winding stick is placed on one end of the piece and the second winding stick is placed on the other end, parallel in plan view to the first. The woodworker then stands back a short distance and sights across the top of the two sticks. If the surface on which the sticks are sitting is flat (in the same plane), the top edges of the two sticks can be seen to be aligned and parallel to each other; even small amounts of misalignment can easily be seen using this method.. Adjustments to the surface of the board are then made (e.g., with a hand plane) if correction is necessary. This process is repeated all across the piece until the piece is satisfactorily true. Longitudinally the piece is checked with a straightedge.

Winding sticks are generally planed parallel back to back to ensure they are true; this is why it is important to use the sticks with the inlay facing one another. They are not dependent on being the same height along their length; the critical element is that they are parallel to each other and then used in that configuration.

Every workshop has a different climate, and it is advisable to check from time to time that a pair of sticks are still true. If it is found that they require adjustment, it is a straightforward task to correct. Firstly the soles are checked to be flat; a long shooting board is recommended for the job. Next align both sticks either back to back or face to face, whichever is easiest to secure, then take light passes over the tops with a hand plane until even shavings are produced from both sticks. They are now parallel.

Lydia Stahl

Lydia Stahl (1885-?) was a Russian-born secret agent who worked for Soviet Military Intelligence in New York and Paris in the 1920s and 1930s.

Early life
Lydia Stahl was born Lydia Chkalova in Rostov-on-Don, Russian Empire, in 1885.

Personal life
Lydia Stahl obtained her last name when she married Boris Stahl, a Russian nobleman (baron). He later divorced her and emigrated to the United States with his new wife.

Career
In 1921, while a refugee in Finland she joined the Soviet secret service. Lydia Stahl had befriended the Finnish writer Hella Wuolijoki and was a regular visitor to her manor house Marlebäck in Iitti, Finland, which was a meeting place for leftist intellectuals and politicians. Through her relationship with Finnish communist politician Otto Kuusinen, she had also met the American radical, journalist John Reed, and maintained correspondence with him until Reed's death in 1920.

During the 1920s, Lydia established a photography studio in Paris where she copied secret documents for Soviet Military Intelligence. In June 1928 she was transferred to New York City to help the Soviet Union's Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) rezident Alfred Tilton. Her second trip to New York took place in December 1931. Then she returned to Paris to work for the network which included Robert Gordon Switz who led his own group. Lydia's ami was the French professor Louis Pierre Martin, codebreaker and translator for the Naval Ministry and member of the Legion of Honor.

Arrest
In 1933, counterintelligence agencies uncovered an espionage network in Finland which included Tilton's wife Maria, Lydia's friend Ingrid Boström, and Finnish-American Arvid Jacobson. Boström provided information which led the French counterintelligence to Lydia. She was arrested in Paris in December 1933; other members of the network, including Switz and his wife, were arrested shortly afterward. Lydia Stahl was convicted of espionage in April 1935 and served a four-year sentence.

She disappeared after her release from French prison. According to some unverified reports, she continued working for the Soviet intelligence and lived in Argentina after World War II.

Joseph M. Watt

Joseph Michael Watt (born March 8, 1947) is a former Justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, who assumed the post in 1992. He was reelected in 1994, 1996, and 2002. From 2003 to 2007, he served two terms as Chief Justice. In 2005, he was reelected to an unprecedented second term as Chief Justice, despite a federal age discrimination lawsuit filed by the Court's then-Vice Chief Justice Marian P. Opala, then 83 years old, who claimed Supreme Court rules were changed to prevent Opala from becoming chief justice. Justice Watt sent a letter to Governor Mary Fallin on October 2, 2017, stating that he would retire from the Oklahoma Supreme Court effective December 31, 2017.

Early life and education
Watt was born in Austin, Texas and graduated from Austin High School in 1965. In 1969, he earned a bachelor's degree majoring in history and government from Texas Tech University.

Box Office Bomb (album)

Box Office Bomb is the second album by the alternative rock band Dramarama.

Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "while Box Office Bomb suffers slightly from pressed-for-time-and-money production, 'Modesty Personified' still has plenty of Blondiesque bite, and the sextet invigorates Easdale’s vengeful frustration in 'Whenever I’m With Her' ('Sorry I bit her…') with hothouse guitar drama."

Talk:Thursday Dinners

Untitled
Of course, the most important thing missing from this article is the significance of these meetings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.172.218 (talk) 13:50, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Emax's image may be unfree: "used with permission" is not equal to "fairuse". --Ghirlandajo 20:19, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Dinners?
Obiad in Polish is a substantial meal, usually eaten around midday or in the afternoon. It is to be differentiated from kolacja which is an evening meal and therefore translates as Dinner, except in the North of England where people seldom refer to lunch and say "dinner" instead. It is also a class issue. The moneyed tend to speak of lunch in the middle of the day and dinner in the evening. Poniatowski's Thursday gatherings were not Soirées. The meetings were held in the afternoon. They lasted three or four hours and then the participants would withdraw from the Royal Castle or Łazienki Palace and retire home or go on to dinner with family and friends.

For an English speaking readership it is therefore misleading to refer to "dinners". They were actually relatively light meals as an accompaniment to intellectual conversation and presentations by artists and writers. I propose to alter the title to "lunches" as being the historically accurate translation for these and, for the "Wednesday lunches" also, hosted by Stanisław August Poniatowski.--Po Mieczu (talk) 18:25, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * , A bit late (also ping User:Nihil novi, User:Lembit Staan, User:Oliszydlowski who I believe may be interested in this). We should stick with sources and remember WP:COMMONNAME. I found this which clearly uses "Thursday Dinners" in English; also ("The King's Thursday dinners had about 40 men who were invited at least a few times")  "I wrote about Thursday's dinners with",  "King Stanislaw August
 * Poniatowski, who invited him regularly to his 'Thursday dinners' and", "Poniatowski, another lover of Catherine, whose Thursday dinners were" and, which uses "Donnerstags Diners" in German. For lunches, I only found a single source:  "His court, with its own Thursday lunches". As such, I believe we should move the article back to its original name - which, given no RM was done, I will boldly do. If you want to move it back to lunches, please start a WP:RM. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here  05:56, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The Polish name for the institution hosted by King Stanisław August Poniatowski was and is "obiady czwartkowe".
 * My Polish-English dictionaries translate "obiad" as "dinner" (one of them also, by way of explanation, adds "midday meal").
 * The Polish "obiad" indeed takes place about noon, and is typically the principal meal of the day.
 * I see no reason to rename it "lunch" for Anglophone readers. Regardless of the usual time differences between Anglophone and Polish dinners, both are still the major meals of the respective days.
 * Thanks.
 * Nihil novi (talk) 08:35, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * and, thank you for raising this again. As the only Brit in this discussion, and Britain is in clear decline as I write, I have to relent even if usage on this island would indicate the midday meal, referred to as "dinner" only in a few Northern counties of England. En passant, the terminology is also a matter of class. "Lunch" tends to be eaten by the Queen and the Chattering classes.--Po Mieczu (talk) 12:39, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Po Mieczu, thank you for that insight.
 * I don't know what it may say about citizens of the American republic, but The American Heritage Dictionary defines "lunch" as "A meal eaten at midday", and "lunch" is the word used for their midday meal by all "United Statesmen", as Gore Vidal called them.
 * Cheers!
 * Nihil novi (talk) 21:30, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Interesting, Polish Wikipedia says that it is "spożywany w Polsce najczęściej między godziną 12 a 16". Although I think these days it's more like "15-20". Could use some sources. Was historically dinner eaten earlier too? I am a really bad person to ask - I tend to eat my dinners very late, often around 7-8 pm. That said, I also remember my family used to eat early dinners and then late suppers when I was a kid, but I didn't have a supper in ages... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Po Mieczu and Piotrus:
 * Among Poles, while dwelling in both hemispheres, I've consumed obiad at midday; and kolacja, evenings.
 * These days I skip breakfast, eat obiad noonish (or when it's available), and eat kolacja intermittently through the evening until a late bedtime.
 * Bon appétit!
 * Nihil novi (talk) 22:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Nihil novi and Piotrus, now, my Warsaw grandmother told me:"Eat śniadanie on your own, share obiad with your friends and give kolacja to your enemy". I hardly ever skip porridge in the morning!--Po Mieczu (talk) 23:21, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Dunston Checks In

Dunston Checks In is a 1996 comedy film directed by Ken Kwapis. The film stars Eric Lloyd, Graham Sack, Jason Alexander, Faye Dunaway, Rupert Everett, Paul Reubens, Glenn Shadix, and Sam the Orangutan as Dunston. The film received negative reviews and grossed $10 million against a budget of $16 million.

Plot
Lionel Spalding and his dog Neil arrive at the prestigious, five-star Majestic Hotel where, due to a prank by Kyle Grant and his older brother Brian, an overflowing fountain accidentally drenches him, greatly frustrating the hotel manager and the boys' widowed father Robert. He is disappointed with the boys but they are guaranteed a vacation in Barbados afterward, only for the ruthless, haughty hotel owner, Elena Dubrow, to force them to cancel the trip for a third time, due to the upcoming Crystal Ball where one of the guests is revealed to be a critic from the Le Monde Traveller Organization who they hope will reward the Majestic with a sixth star.

At that moment, "Lord" Rutledge, a jewel thief whom Mrs. Dubrow believes is the critic, arrives with an orangutan named Dunston, intending to steal the guests' jewelry. Dunston and his deceased brother Samson were both trained in thievery their entire lives, and Dunston has been wanting to escape from Rutledge's poor treatment and life of crime ever since.

Meanwhile, Rutledge distracts and causes Kyle to accidentally set a sterling rope mini-pulley free from his hand where Brian falls down and out from a laundry chute. Dunston flees from Rutledge and is later found by Kyle, who befriends the poor orangutan and promises to keep him safe. However, Dunston soon begins causing disruption in the hotel such as ruining Spalding's workout and interfering with Mrs. Angela Dellacroce's massage. After realizing Dunston's presence, Robert calls for an animal control specialist named Buck LaFarge to remove Dunston from the hotel.

After one failed attempt by LaFarge, Kyle with the help of Brian hides Dunston in the Presidential suite of the hotel under the alias of Dr. Lamb Binh Ngoc to keep him away from both LaFarge and Rutledge. However Rutledge manages to locate him due to Dunston's ordering a lot of bananas, ties Kyle up and gags him. Dunston and Kyle escape to the ballroom where the Crystal Ball is taking place, obtaining a picture of Rutledge, Dunston, and Samson from Rutledge's room. Kyle and Brian show the picture to their dad, and Robert is infuriated when Kyle says Rutledge tied him up. Brian and Kyle search for Dunston, avoiding LaFarge and Mrs. Dubrow, while Robert and Rutledge fight in the kitchen. Mrs. Dubrow eventually corners Kyle believing that he brought Dunston to the hotel despite it was Rutledge, but Dunston hanging from a chandelier pushes her into the giant party cake. Robert eventually stands up to Mrs. Dubrow, but is fired in the process. However, it turns out that Spalding, who had been humiliated, assaulted, and inconvenienced by Dunston's antics, was the real critic all along. As a result, Spalding declares Mrs. Dubrow managed to go from a five-star hotel to a one-star hotel before passing out from LaFarge's tranquilizer dart. Rutledge is arrested and LaFarge apologizes to Dunston, who then slaps him.

In the end, thanks to Mrs. Dubrow's more kind-hearted husband Victor, Robert, Kyle, and Brian move to Bali to manage a Majestic Hotel there where they can keep Dunston as a pet. They invite Spalding over with a complimentary room and meals to make up for all the trouble he experienced and assure him that nothing will go wrong this time. However, in the last scene, Dunston causes further trouble by dropping a large coconut which lands on Spalding's head.

Cast

 * Sam the Orangutan as Dunston
 * Bob Bergen as Dunston (voice)
 * Jason Alexander as Robert Grant, the widowed father of Kyle & Brian
 * Faye Dunaway as Elena Dubrow
 * Eric Lloyd as Kyle Grant, the new owner of Dunston

 * Nathan Davis as Victor Dubrow, Elena's husband
 * Steven Gilborn as Artie
 * Jennifer Bassey as Angela Dellacroce
 * Frank Welker as Neil, Lionel's dog (voice)
 * Bree Turner as French girl

Reception
The film holds a 16% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 19 reviews.

Some contemporary reviews were more generous, however. Desson Howe and Rita Kempley of The Washington Post referred to the film by saying "it ain't half bad", and a "plucky, prank-filled family farce" respectively. Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times stated that Dunston Checks In "is a delightful and funny family film of exceptional high style", "as light as a soufflé and just as delicious", and "plays like a tribute to the resourceful, unpretentious studio productions of the past". According to an article published in the Chicago Tribune, "The cast is talented, the hide-and-seek action is silly (not killing), and the bond between a sweet little boy and the adorable ape is touching."

Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade of "A" on a scale of A+ to F.

Faye Dunaway's performance in the film and in The Chamber earned her a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Supporting Actress. The film was also nominated at the 18th Youth in Film Awards (Young Artist Awards) for Best Family Feature Film: Musical or Comedy, and Eric Lloyd for Best Performance in a Feature Film - Actor Age Ten or Under. The film was successful at the box office in India, where it was dubbed in Hindi and retitled Ek Bandar Hotel Ke Andar.

Home media
Dunston Checks In was much more successful in home video than in theaters. the studio had an estimated $41.6 million in video sales, receiving 75%, greatly exceeding box office gross. The film was released by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment on VHS on May 28, 1996. It was released on DVD on May 28, 2002, and re-released on March 18, 2014.

Hello, I'm Wham2001. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to History of African Americans in Chicago have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. ''The value of Wikipedia comes from its neutral point of view. Editing Wikipedia articles to campaign for a political cause, however strongly you believe in it, damages the encyclopedia, and ultimately reduces its power as a tool for change.''
