' often considered to be one of the "Great American Novels. "   '
Says who?

This article has no documentation.

I remember, fifty one years ago, having heard it said (without documentation) that the author of this novel had imagined that he had written the Great American Novel, and having thought so, then decided to kill himself, and then did so.

Where is it written?

Where is the documentation?

I ask not so much to challenge the glib commentary here, but rather to wonder what the facts might be, as documented by reliable references, whether contemporaneous to the event, or not.

 * — Wordsmith (talk) 10:51, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I suggest you read the novel and conclude for yourself. I have never heard of an organization chartered to read novels with the mission to confer such a distinction so perhaps like all things art, therefore subjective, read it for yourself and if you agree like so many others, appreciate that such a fine novel exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.127.181.211 (talk) 17:50, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

 * But... that's not how this works. On Wikipedia, claims should be cited -- in this case, with contemporary reviews -- or it should be removed or at least labeled as uncited and possibly as original research, which I will do now.DiamondRemley39 (talk) 01:49, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Alternative artwork
"When it was originally released, the album featured a shadowy photograph of the band on the sleeve, but this was later changed to a cover showing Mount Kilimanjaro, the mountain after which the record was named. When the album was subsequently released on CD the cover artwork reverted to the original" - can anyone find a fair-use picture of the mountain artwork? I think it should be included in the article...my CD copy is the band photo but I'd be interested in seeing the alternative one. GiantSnowman 20:52, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Alternative Artwork
Here is another example of incorrect information in a music entry. In the article on the artwork of The Teardrop Explodes album Kilimanjaro, it states that when the CD was released the artwork reverted back to the original cover with the band members. I have a copy of Kilimanjaro on CD that has the alternate Mount Kilimanjaro artwork. Skyclad Records a label distrubted by then, Polygram Records U.S., issued the CD in the early 1990s. The CD was also billed as The Teardrop Explodes featuring Julain Cope, (something else not mentioned in the article). It was probably a marketing ploy by the label, as Julian Cope was having some moderate success as a solo artist at the time.

I have many years of experience working in FM college radio, FM rock radio, AM pop radio and music retail as an import music buyer from roughly 1975 to 1996. Beasley564 (talk) 04:06, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Side dish

A side dish, sometimes referred to as a side order, side item, or simply a side, is a food item that accompanies the entrée or main course at a meal.

Common types

Side dishes such as salad, potatoes and bread are commonly used with main courses throughout many countries of the western world. Rice and couscous have grown to be quite popular throughout Europe, especially at formal occasions (with couscous appearing more commonly at dinner parties with Middle Eastern dishes).

When used as an adjective qualifying the name of a dish, the term 'side' usually refers to a smaller portion served as a side dish, rather than a larger, main dish-sized serving. For example, a "side salad" is usually served in a small bowl or salad plate, in contrast to a large dinner-plate-sized entrée salad.

A typical American meal with a meat-based main dish might include one vegetable side dish, sometimes in the form of a salad, and one starch side dish, such as bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, and french fries.

Some restaurants offer a limited selection of side dishes which are included with the price of the entrée as a combination meal. In contrast, sometimes side dishes are ordered separately from an a la carte menu. The term may or may not imply that the dish can only be ordered with other food.

French fries are a common side dish served at fast-food restaurants and other American cuisine restaurants. In response to criticism about the high fat and calorie content of French fries, some fast-food chains offer other side dishes, such as salads, as substitutes for the standard French fries with their combination meals.

List of side dishes

 * Asparagus
 * Baked beans
 * Baked potatoes
 * Broccoli
 * Cabbage
 * Cauliflower
 * Coleslaw
 * Dinner rolls or other breads
 * French fries or steak fries
 * Green beans
 * Greens
 * Macaroni salad
 * Macaroni and cheese
 * Mashed potatoes
 * Mushrooms
 * Pasta salad
 * Potato salad
 * Salad (often a "side" salad)
 * Sautéed mushrooms
 * Squash
 * Tater tots

"On the side"
The related phrase on the side may be synonymous with "side dish" – as in "French fries on the side" – or may refer to a complimentary sauce or condiment served in a separate dish. For example, a diner may request a salad be served with its dressing "on the side".

Talk:Paris–Roubaix

DeVlaeminck - Koppenberg
I'm not entirely sure of it, but I think the photo on this page of DeVlaeminck on the cobbles is from the Koppenberg climb in Tour of Flanders. The steep banks on the side of the road are a dead giveaway (at least, to me) and looking off in the distance, the climb seems way too steep to be anything from Roubaix. Plus, all the riders are wearing helmets, which were required in Belgium (before the UCI made them mandatory in 2003), but in not in France, where P-R takes place.

At any rate, I feel like the Paris-Roubaix page should have a muddier picture, or at least one where the cobbles look more atrocious, since that's what the race is known for. This shot of grimacing riders laboring up an ungodly steep climb is out of place here, but would be ideal for the Tour of Flanders page.

Eternal flame
I don't think the line "Riders who win both races in the same year are guaranteed eternal fame." When 3 riders do not even have pages. Saying it is a great honor might be better.--68.45.76.174 22:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Garin
Maurice Garin was born in Italy, close to Aosta, then migrated to France, but he had the French Citizen just in the December 1901, so the two Paris Roubaix won in the 1896 and 1897 were won by the Italian Maurice Garin.

Intro Paragraph Problem?
Paris-Roubaix doesn't start in Paris at all.. Even one of the subsequent sections says "The 260 km race starts in Compiègne and follows a winding route northwards towards Roubaix, ". Perhaps someone more knowledgeable should fix this?-- Ğavin Ťing  15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup
The last additions to the article are largely written by me (a non-native speaker) and grammar probably needs to be corrected. Could anyone check it? Tips to improve the article are also welcomed! Regards--Drunt (talk) 23:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Featured article?
The article has developed nicely following the contributions by User:Les woodland and I was wondering if we could improve the article and nominate it as a good article (or featured?). Paris-Roubaix is probably the most famous of the one-day cycling races and it could be interesting to improve the article to meet the requirements of Featured article criteria. In that case, we could even propose this article to be "Today's featured article" (Today's featured article/requests) in April 2009. Wouldn't it be great? Some ideas to improve the article: Regards.--Drunt (talk) 22:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Create Carrefour de l'Abre and Mons-en-Pevele sections.(like the Trouée d'Arenberg one). The french wikipedia has some information about this sectors. The The final cobbles section could also be moved there as Éspace Charles Crupelandt.
 * Include more information about Amis de Paris-Roubaix.
 * Maybe the first image of the article (after the Logo) should be one portraying riders riding on cobblestones to illustrate the subject of the article (or a picture showing cobblestones).
 * Do you have more information about the velodrome and the showers? Isn't it a tradition to take a shower there? The cubicles are named after the riders.
 * I'm wondering if the copyright of old photographs (pre-First World War) is already expired. There is a photograph in the book Paris-Roubaix: A Journey Through Hell of the very first start where you can see J.Fischer and M.Garin. Do you know where we could find it? (or other pictures of the very first races)

 * FANTASTIC ARTICLE! Up to "Good Article," I say.  Let the nomination process begin.  Incredibly well referenced, and chock-full of clearly written information.  --Smilo Don (talk) 01:58, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree. I'm going to nominate it right now. Nosleep  break my slumber 09:13, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Changes
Thanks to all for the changes and other improvements to the article. I wrote a lot of it but it's often possible to be too close to your own writing to see its shortcomings.

 * Yes, the earliest he could become French was at the age of 21. Les woodland (talk) 12:46, 3 June 2011 (UTC)les woodland

Easter Sunday
I see someone has written that Vienne and Perez proposed Easter Sunday for their race. They didn't, as is clear from the letter they wrote to Rousseau at Le Vélo. They suggested a different date but it was discarded because it clashed with municipal elections. They could have chosen Easter Sunday instead but it's obvious they didn't because they chose April 19 instead. April 19 wasn't Easter Sunday, as a check on the many websites giving the dates of Easter for the last 200 years will confirm. Easter was two weeks earlier.

As it stands, the "Easter mystery" paragraph starts by saying the first race was on Easter Sunday and ends by saying it wasn't.

The notion of the church service seems to have been a publicity stunt by Victor Breyer. It was he who announced it and he who "cancelled" it. The church was shut that morning. But newspapers don't cancel church services, especially those - if we are to believe the story - organised in dudgeon by protesting clerics. Which leaves you to wonder whether there had ever been a service scheduled in the first place and why there would have been one, given that it wasn't Easter and that Sunday was and still is the general day for sports events in France.

The first time the race was run on Easter Sunday was the following year, but it was Easter that moved and not the race. The race was on the same weekend. It's just possible that the supposed row happened that year instead but I've never found evidence for it. If you have, please do say and give the sources.

I wrote the original entry that has been so much changed. If whoever rewrote it would be kind enough to consider my comments and, if he feels fit, to change the story to meet the facts, I'd be delighted.

Thanks.

 * This sort of detail is suited to a roadbook, not an encyclopaedia, and only relevant for roadbooks in some years. I am being bold and radically cutting it back, retaining sourced anecdotal info about the important sectors, but removing what is no more than notes about grading, length and star ratings which lacked any sentence structure.
 * If exactly the same sectors were ridden every year in the same order with the same gradings and at the same distance gone/to go then the table would be useful, but given that this is not the case, any table will only be recentism, and if it is only applicable to the 20** race, it should be in the article for the 20** race.

The dog called Gruson
Hi folks - under "The Wrong Race" section it talks about a dog called Gruson knocking Hinault off his bike, 13km from the finish. In fact, the section of cobbles 13km from the finish passes through the hamlet of Gruson. It's not impossible, I guess, that the dog had the same name has the village, but it seems unlikely.

The only other times he rode it were in 1980, when he finished fourth, and in 1982, as the defending champion But...here people make it clear that he rode this race also in 1978 and in 1979, so five times in total...--EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 06:51, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Lack of sourcing in places, many unsourced sections and lots of unsourced tables
 * Not enough about the history, only 10 years of the race are mentioned (and 8 of those are purely for "controversy" reasons). History section would be better laid out like in Tour de France, with summaries for different time periods
 * Way too many long quotes, violates MOS:QUOTATIONS
 * Comments section seems like WP:TRIVIA, and should maybe be integrated into another section (maybe Course section)

Talk:Don Mattingly

Weasel words in the Hall of Fame section
Puckett's career is considered by some as more consistent than Mattingly's.

Unfortunately I don't have sources of information to remove this wording, and deleting the sentence outright seems an awkward fix. I did move the notice, however; when I first saw it there, I was reading and re-reading the paragraph after the notice to look for weasel words and found none. Apparently it was dropped right in the middle of the paragraph instead, because when I hit edit I found the weasel words directly preceding the sentence in question ^_^

Anyway if someone can figure out a good way to remove this, or better yet back it up with a citation and reword it, that would be great. Lostdrewid (talk) 15:05, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Remove it altogether. There needs to be verifiability. If someone said it, attribute the source and add it back in then. 161.185.151.150 (talk) 16:15, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Back injury?
The link cited for the source of his back injury being the result of clubhouse horseplay http://www.nytimes.com/1987/06/09/sports/doctor-s-orders-rest-for-mattingly.html?pagewanted=1 seems to show all involved parties calling such reports as nothing more than a false rumor.

I barely keep up with baseball, so the real source of his back injury may be common knowledge, and the horseplay story might be true. Still, shouldn't a cited source actually support the fact we're using it to support? Terrible tony (talk) 21:55, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

I would like to hear about what exactly happened myself, as Don is a distant cousin. I had stopped by to see what was written about him, and saw this. Will Matney --Craxd (talk) 21:38, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

contradiction tag
I added the contradiction tag because the section says:

 * In 1991, before the episode aired but after it was produced, then-Yankees manager Stump Merrill told him that until he cut his hair, he would not play.

But then the next paragraph says:

 * Many people believed the joke in The Simpsons episode to be a reference to the incident, but "Homer at the Bat" was actually recorded a year before it happened.

Seems to contradict itself. --Runame (talk) 01:29, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Ken Maynard

Untitled
Hello,  I don't know much about how to go about this but I found this bio/article on IMDB which I though you should see. Thank you  Gary Richmond Vienna Mo

Ken Maynard's press would have you believe he was a circus performer, WW1 vet, championship rodeo rider and native Texan. In truth, he was definitely none of these things; he was born into a large Indiana family (three sisters and his younger brother Kermit Maynard who would follow, somewhat less successfully, him to Hollywood). Ken would spend his boyhood around Columbus, Indiana and eventually attend, but not graduate, from Indiana University. Exactly how he became an expert horseman is not really known, but he managed to become quite accomplished. His earliest appearance on film was in a non-western with William Fox's studio and scored good notices with a secondary role in Janice Meredith (1924) as Paul Revere. Figuring it was better to be a big fish in a small pond, Ken signed with an independent production outfit called Davis Productions in 1925 and became a star in it's low budget releases, $50,000 Reward (1924) and The Grey Vulture (1926). From there he signed with Fox's First National Pictures and remain with it after it was sold off to Warner Brothers through starring in some twenty silents. Ken, at this point was in his prime and at the top of his game with audiences. With his palomino Tarzan, he was world famous. Unfortunately, he also had an ego and temper to match, and he had a habit of alienating almost everyone he worked with. Unlike his brother Kermit, Maynard was widely considered to be an arrogant jackass--- he drank heavily and spent his large salary like a drunken sailor. He lavished a fortune on women, fancy cars and even had his own airplane. In 1929, he accepted a lucrative offer from Carl Laemmle to jump to Universal. Uncle Carl offered Ken his own company and creative control, which put him into the ranks of Hoot Gibson (then ranking as Universal's premier western star), the aging Tom Mix and his predecessor, the great William S. Hart. He joined Universal during the sound transition period and made made eight respectable pictures there. For the 1931-32 production season, the studio opted to ditch westerns altogether and Ken, who Laemmle quickly grew to dislike, found himself on the wrong side of the studio's gates (Gibson also found himself unemployed and his career would wane considerably). With his name still an asset, Ken returned to Poverty Row, working out of Tiffany for producers William Saal and Phil Goldstone. Despite the considerable loss of production values, the eleven films he ground out there were popular Saturday matinée entries that satisfied the hundreds of independent theaters that then-existed across the U.S. and Canada. Unfortunately for Ken, he hitched his future to a falling star: Tiffany was floundering and sank under the weight of it's sub-par non-western product and went under in 1932. It's former boss, Samuel Bischoff joined forces with Saal and producer Burt Kelly to form K.B.S. Film Co. (with distribution by World Wide Productions) with the express purpose of producing Ken Maynard westerns. These entries were slightly better budgeted than those at Tiffany but still hampered by a notable lack of production values. This company was short-lived, biting the dust within a year. Universal, which abruptly returned to westerns in 1933, decided to give Ken another shot. Between 1933 and 1934, Ken starred in eight generously budgeted oaters and, more importantly, gave him financial control over his unit. This arrangement became a flash point with Laemmle, since Ken would routinely exceed the $100,000 or so alloted for each film (roughly ten times what his Tiffany and K.B.S. releases cost). Cost overruns resulted in angry, profanity-laden meetings with Universal's front office personnel. Laemmle's dislike for Ken hit the breaking point and he was shown the door a second time, replaced by Buck Jones as the studio's reigning sagebrush star. He was likely oblivious to the fact that his career had peaked since he quickly signed with Nat Levine's flinty Mascot Pictures, where he made the feature In Old Santa Fe (1934) and a serial, Mystery Mountain (1934). As Mascot's biggest star, he began to exert himself in areas that were unappreciated by Levine. He cussed casts and crews out and his enormous ego was out of control. A director reportedly showed Levine outtakes of one of his profanity-laden outbursts and fired. Coinciding this event was Tim McCoy's departure from Columbia Pictures. The studio had only recently broken out of the ranks of Poverty Row status and boss Harry Cohn wanted to remain a player in the western genre. Working with veteran producer Larry Darmour, Ken starred in eight Columbia oaters, beginning with Western Frontier (1935) directed by Al Herman and the rest by Spencer Gordon Bennet. From there he signed with Monogram, only recently reformed after it's boss' brief interlude with Republic. Working at Monogram displeased Ken tremendously and he made everyone aware of it's real and perceived shortcomings. With so many bridges figuratively burned during his career, his film career came to an end by the mid-40's. With nowhere else to go, Ken turned to the circus, working for the Cole Brothers-Clyde Beatty Circus, playing off his former film glory. Having blown through a fortune, old age did not treat him kindly. Married multiple times, Ken's last wife, Bertha died in 1968 and he found himself living largely off meager Social Security checks. His final years were tainted by his association with a girlfriend who encouraged him to sell phony memorabilia. He lived in a cheap trailer park, drank heavily and suffered from ill health. Ken died in poverty at the Woodland Hills Motion Picture Home on March 30, 1973.

Antique Boat Museum

The Antique Boat Museum is a located in the 1000 Islands on the St. Lawrence River, in Clayton, New York, United States. The Antique Boat Museum is the premier freshwater boating museum in North America. The ABM's collections hold over 320 unique boats and thousands of related artifacts and archives. The 4.5-acre campus comes alive with speedboat rides, a working skiff livery, and educational programs. It is the site for the country's longest, continuously running annual Antique Boat Show and Auction. The museum has seasonal hours and is open from the first Friday in May to the end of October.

Mission statement
"The Antique Boat Museum collects, preserves, interprets and celebrates boats and related artifacts to advance public understanding of the importance of boating to the cultural history of North America and the St. Lawrence River in particular."

History
In the 1960s, a small nucleus of people who were determined to preserve the nautical and cultural heritage of the St. Lawrence River established the 1000 Islands Museum on the St. Lawrence River in Clayton, NY. Within the museum, a group concerned with preserving the area's rich boating heritage formed the Antique Boat Auxiliary and organized a show of antique boats in 1965. The boat show became an annual event and grew steadily in size. Under the auspices of the Antique Boat Auxiliary, a small group of supporters acquired several parcels of waterfront property in the early 1970s and established a permanent museum to host the annual boat show. The new institution received a provisional charter from the NY State Department of Education as the "1000 Islands Shipyard Museum" in 1980 and was granted an absolute charter in 1986. A 1990 amendment to the charter changed the institution's name to the "Antique Boat Museum".

In the 50 years since its founding, the Museum has built up a substantial waterfront campus that encompasses 4.5 acres of public program space, 1900′ of dockage, and 1300′ of St. Lawrence River shoreline. The 10 buildings, 5 on the main campus, contain 29,000 square feet of exhibit space, 33,000 square feet of public program, collections storage, archives, library and administration space. The exhibits and programs are supported by 20,000 square feet of boat collection storage located a short distance from the Museum's main campus. In the last decade, the Museum has undertaken a substantial capital expansion program to consolidate its real estate holdings and to construct buildings and infrastructure worthy of its collection and programs. From humble beginnings as a riverside gathering of antique boat enthusiasts, the Antique Boat Museum has evolved into a national institution which makes substantial economic and cultural contributions to Clayton, the North Country region, and the preservation of North America's maritime heritage.

Nichalp,

Do not move the page to that entitled just "Janmashtami" - - Krishna Janmashtami or Krishnaashtami are more correct terms, obviously; Janmashtami as referring to the birth of Krishna is a colloquialism that assumes that no other great person was ever born on an "Ashtami". In any case, the redirect from the "Janmashtami" page will ensure proper referencing from other pages -Anon

I propose deleting a few images off of this page.

 * 1) There are already two images of a toddler dressed up as Krishna. One of them can be deleted.
 * 2) The "statue of Krishna being carried across the river" and "traditional festive food..." image look very out of place in the article. Perhaps we can remove them all together or rearrange it to make it align with the part of the text that mentions it?

Please give your thoughts on this. Chilicave (talk) 01:22, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Improving the article
Hi @Chilicave,

I saw you've made some solid edits to the article and was wondering if you would be open to collaborating further to improve it. Currently, I think there is a lot of room to improve the writing in the article. Additionally, we could adjust the current sections/create new sections that would help encyclopedia readers learn more about Krishna Janmashtami. Let know if you have any ideas /are open to collaborating here! RealPharmer3 (talk) 17:57, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Howdy @RealPharmer3!
 * First off, thank you for your contributions to the Krishna Janmashtami article. I've taken notice of your edits and contemplated on reaching out to you for your help on improving this article. Looks like you beat me to it!
 * Here are a few ideas I have had on my mind:
 * Per MOS:LEAD, I'm unsure if there is a concise or clear way to rewrite this paragraph without taking away the importance of how the festival correlates with the Hindu calender --> "Krishna's birth is celebrated and observed on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha) in Shravana Masa (according to the amanta tradition) or Bhadrapada Masa (according to the purnimanta tradition). This overlaps with August or September of the Gregorian calendar."
 * Also, I've noticed that you've contributed to several temple articles. Perhaps you can add more content in relation to the specific rituals or celebrations that are associated with these temples and/or the sects that they are affiliated with?
 * The history of how long or how far back celebrations have taken place or when they were first penned down can be added.
 * Of course, these are just my ideas based off what I see in other festival articles. Let me know what you think, and also if you have any ideas for me. Chilicave (talk) 04:19, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Chilicave,
 * Perfect!
 * I agree that it may be difficult to correct those sentences without removing the Hindu calendar dates. Since this article is focused on the birth and celebration of Krishna, the information about his birth should be kept. I referred to the Wikpedia article on Christmas, to form a basis on what would be appropriate - it may be helpful if you check it out as well.
 * I think that is a good idea - I can look into that
 * Will take a look as well
 * Additionally, if you could go through some of the subsections in the celebration section to verify sources (many sentences arent sourced as well) / copy edit for ease of reading .. that would be helpful! I will be doing the same. RealPharmer3 (talk) 14:34, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @RealPharmer3
 * Alrighty, will do! Chilicave (talk) 02:24, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Chilicave,
 * I saw you removed the sentences about Balaram in the history section. I feel that it has relevance to the story of Krishna's birth and should be kept. RealPharmer3 (talk) 15:51, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey @RealPharmer3,
 * The reason why I removed such information was that I felt that it was unrelated to the birth of Krishna. I'm open to hear your reasons as to why you disagree though! Chilicave (talk) 02:09, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Chilicave,
 * I was doing some reading and came across: Krishna in History, Thought, and Culture: An Encyclopedia of the Hindu Lord of Many Names and within it, it says, "Balarama was a constant companion of Krishna in all the events of his life that took place in Vraja, Brindavan, and Dvarka. During their childhood in Vraja, Balarama was always with Krishna: they stole butter, chased calves, or played in the cow pens. During their young adult life in Mathura, Balarama and Krishna participated in numerous significant events together: a wrestling match in Mathura, education with the sage Sandipani, battles with Jarasandha and Kalayavana."
 * I think that because Balarama has been closely associated with Krishna since birth and many of the ways that individuals celebrate Janmashtami worldwide is to replicate incidents that Balarama and Krishna were both involved in, its appropriate to have a sentence or two on him. RealPharmer3 (talk) 15:29, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @RealPharmer3
 * I had a look at the Krishna article to get a general idea from there and I did see Balarama mentioned a few times. Perhaps, there is a better way to rephrase the sentence? Maybe explicitly mention that they are in constant companionship? If I were a new reader and looked at this article, I would probably not understand the significance behind that sentence.

 * Hi @Chilicave,
 * How is this: "Throughout Krishna's childhood and young adult life, Balarama, Krishna's half-brother, was a "constant companion" for him. Balarama joined Krishna in the major events that are celebrated in Vraja, Brindavan, Dravarka, and Mathura such as stealing butter, chasing calves, playing in the cow pens, and participating in wrestling matches.", with reference to the source above.

The Furnace (magazine)

The Furnace is a quarterly literary magazine edited by Kelli Kavanaugh and a board of editors.

History and profile
The Furnace was launched September 28, 2002. Editorial offices are located at the Bohemian National Home, Tillman Avenue, in Detroit's Corktown district. It is published on a quarterly basis. The magazine covers Detroit culture, including visual arts, architecture, urban development, literature, history and music.

The Furnace has published a number of notable Detroit authors and manifestos from collectives:
 * Zuriel Wolfgang Lott
 * Mariela Griffor
 * Architects Asylum
 * Lisa Runchey
 * Vievee Francis
 * Joanna Karner
 * Eric Darby
 * Robert Fanning
 * Terry Blackhawk
 * Gary C. Wagaman

As a practice, the editorial team marks release of a new edition by organizing an event, often at a lost Detroit venue. For example, the editors held the first issue celebration at the Savoyard Club, in the Buhl Building at Griswold, Detroit, Michigan. Several of The Furnace's writers and a poetry editor have been a crucial part of Write Word Write Now, (a cohort of Detroit's up and coming page poets).

Rocking horse

A rocking horse is a child's toy, usually shaped like a horse and mounted on rockers similar to a rocking chair. There are two sorts, the one where the horse part sits rigidly attached to a pair of curved rockers that are in contact with the ground, and a second sort, where the horse hangs on a rigid frame by iron straps the horse moves only relative to the frame, which does not move.

Predecessors of the rocking horse may be seen in the rocking cradle, the tilting seats used during the Middle Ages for jousting practice as well as the wheeled hobby horse. The toy in its current form did not appear before the 17th century, though some conflicting sources note medieval manuscripts including references to carved rocking horses, presumably of the toy kind.

From the 19th century onward, rocking horses became more commonly considered as child's toy. Mostly built by hobby woodcrafters, and ranging from relatively crude to finely ornamented and the toys of future kings, it was not until the late 19th century that the production became industrialised.

In 2006, the Guinness Book of World Records certified Katlinel and Les Hartness of California as having the largest hand-carved wooden rocking horse on record. This rocking horse was built in 2000 and is 7 feet 8 inches (234 cm) tall and weighs 1,200 pounds (680 kg). It can be seen at renaissance faires, faerie festivals, and at private parties and events where up to 3 adults or 4-5 children can ride it together at one time. According to Les and Katlinel, the youngest rider has been six weeks old and the oldest, 94 years.
