City of the Violet Crown

City of the Violet Crown is a term for at least two cities, Athens, Greece and Austin, Texas.

Athens, Greece
In one of his surviving fragments (fragment 76), the Greek lyricist poet Pindar wrote of Athens: ""City of light, with thy violet crown, beloved of the poets, thou art the bulwark of Greece.""

The climate of Attica is characterised by low humidity and a high percentage of dust in the air, which make sunsets display hues of violet and purple and the surrounding mountains often appear immersed in a purple haze. In Geoffrey Trease's novel, The Crown of Violet, the name is explained as referring to the mauve-tinted marble of the Acropolis hill.

Austin, Texas
According to the History Center in Austin, Texas, the phrase first appeared in The Austin Daily Statesman (now The Austin American Statesman) on May 5, 1890.

It was long believed to have originated in O. Henry's story "Tictocq: The Great French Detective, In Austin", published in his collection of short stories The Rolling Stone published October 27, 1894. In chapter 2 of Tictocq, O. Henry writes: ""The drawing-rooms of one of the most magnificent private residences in Austin are ablaze of lights. Carriages line the streets in front, and from gate to doorway is spread a velvet carpet, on which the delicate feet of the guests may tread. The occasion is the entrée into society of one of the fairest buds in the City of the Violet Crown.""

The phrase is generally thought to refer to the atmospheric phenomenon more commonly known as the Belt of Venus. The phrase is also said to be connected to the moonlight towers of Austin.

Another explanation is that, during the 19th century, residents began to call Austin the "Athens of the South" for its university. With his sly reference to the poetry of Pindar, O. Henry may have been satirizing Austin's ambitious claim of a cultural link to ancient Athens.

accuracty of diagram
i was under the impression that J# in many cases just mapped java classes to the corresponding .net ones and didn't bother with seperate ones. Plugwash 01:09, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

J box
What does the box I keep seeing after the letter J mean?? Please fix it. Georgia guy 01:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Someones put the proper sharp sign in the title and body text despite the fact that even MS never uses that sign for j#. However this does get arround the problem that # can't be used in article titles ;) If you can't see it then it either means you don't have a sutiable font or are using a browser that sucks at selecting suitable fonts. I cba to undo it but would have no objection to you doing so if you wish. Plugwash 02:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect statement in article
The article states:

"Instead of receiving a File object as a parameter in the Java API, Microsoft's .NET implementation receives a String object containing the file path."

This is simply wrong. Anyone can browse to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.html and see that the Java API includes the ability to pass a String argument to the FileOutputStream constructor. This has been true since at least Java 1.1.4 (circa 1997), which is as far back as I have ready references available (The Java Class Libraries, Second Edition, Volume 1 by Chan, Lee, and Kramer; Addison-Wesley).

Subject to personal opinion?
"J# is generally considered to be a proof of concept of .Net language interoperability, and as a marketing tool to lure Java developers to the .Net platform. It is generally not considered to be a language on par with C# or VB.Net, and does not have the same level of support, samples, or updates as the other languages do. This fact notwithstanding, J# is a usable .Net language and has access to all the CLR features."

This seems too be someones personal opinion rather then the truth.

J Sharp → Visual J Sharp – The article focuses entirely on the Visual J# framework, and even the first line says "Visual J# is an implementation of J#", which is problematic in several ways, not the least of which being that this article should help define J#, rather than immediately use J# to define something else. 74.96.161.17 (talk) 16:29, 28 November 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

New Times LA

New Times LA was an alternative weekly newspaper that was published in Los Angeles, California by New Times Media from 1996 to 2002.

History
New Times LA was formed on August 22, 1996, by the purchase and merger of the Los Angeles View and the Los Angeles Reader. The staff members of both papers were fired during the formation of the paper.

The editor-in-chief for its entire run was Rick Barrs. Writer Jill Stewart was the paper's controversial political columnist.

Los Angeles Magazine stated that the New Times Los Angeles "blasted" the LA Weekly "as often as it remembered to—calling its staff dunderheads, beret wearers, throwbacks, and ass kissers. That's the nice stuff." Howard Blume of the LA Weekly stated that the New Times LA was "a quirky and inconsistent, yet valuable, journalistic voice". Los Angeles Magazine stated that the New Times Los Angeles "never got a foothold".

In 2002, New Times Media entered into a non-competition agreement with Village Voice Media, another national publisher of alternative weeklies, whereby the two companies agreed to stop publishing New Times LA (a product of New Times Media) and Cleveland Free Times (a product of Village Voice Media), so that the companies would not publish two competing newspapers in any single city. The competing paper in Los Angeles was the LA Weekly. New Times Media continues to publish other New Times-titled publications, including Miami New Times, New Times Broward-Palm Beach, and Phoenix New Times.

This agreement and phasing out of the two newspapers led to an antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. The investigation resulted in a settlement, requiring the companies to sell off assets and the old newspapers' titles to any potential competitors.

The assets included such things as "office furniture, telephone systems", "all rights to the print and electronic archives of New Times LA publications", "permits and licenses for individual distribution racks and boxes", and "all customer lists, contracts, accounts, and credit records".

At the time of closing, 100 employees worked for the newspaper.

New Times LA's assets were bought by Southland Publishing, Inc., which publish various local newsweeklies. Among the assets included news racks, which allowed Southland to start two new papers: Los Angeles CityBeat and ValleyBeat.

Tjuyu → Thuya – Per WP:COMMONNAME, see e.g. Googlebooks ngrams here and display at Egyptian Museum File:Egyptian Museum, items from the Tomb of Yuya and Thuya 04.jpg Onceinawhile (talk) 11:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC) Onceinawhile (talk) 11:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Support: I assume the page was titled 'Tjuyu' because that is what the Met Museum (currently) uses (it's a more accurate rendering of the hieros than Thuya). I've also seen her called Tuya and a Googlebooks ngram shows that is more common in modern times than Thuya BUT that would lead to confusion with the other famous Tuya, wife of Seti I. Thuya is a good, solid option :) Merytat3n (talk) 21:16, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Metalworking

Welcome to the Metalworking WikiProject! We're a WikiProject dedicated to improving the coverage of Metalworking on the English Wikipedia, including materials, processes, techniques, equipment, and more. Feel free to contribute to this page, or add yourself to the list of contributors below. If you have any questions or suggestions about the project, make sure to see the Talk page.

Please make sure to follow all Wikipedia policies when contributing to the project, including WP:MOS, WP:POV, and WP:SOURCE. Thanks so much for helping out!

Scope
Any articles in the Category:Metalworking and its sub-categories fall within our scope, as well as any articles that pertain in a direct way to the subject of Metalworking. We also work closely with similar projects whose scopes frequently coincide with ours.

Goals

 * To improve Wikipedia's coverage of metalworking by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.
 * To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles within our scope.
 * To serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to metalworking in Wikipedia.

How you can help
Be bold and contribute! Improve any articles you come across, look for articles to improve from our Cleanup listing, ask any of our regular contributors, or check the Work section below for specific projects.

Work
There's always work of some sort to be done; if you can't find any particular projects here to interest you, peruse pages within the Metalworking category to look for improvements you can make, or check out the Cleanup listing for articles that need improvement.

Feel free to add any tasks here that you think deserve the attention of the whole project; please sign using  and make sure to strikethrough or remove items as they are completed.

Keep in mind that if a machine exists for only one purpose or process, it's usually better to devote a section of the article for the process to the machine, rather than give the machine a separate article. If a complete, sourced article can be written about the machine, then by all means do so; this usually is not the case.

Vital articles
These are articles vital to the subject of metalworking; it would bolster the quality of Metalworking on Wikipedia significantly to bring them up to Featured article status.

 * Metalworking
 * Metalsmith
 * Machining

References and sources
If you take a look at the categorical Cleanup listing, you'll see that the two biggest categories by a huge margin are "Articles needing additional references" and "Articles with unsourced statements." I feel like most of the content across these articles is fairly reliable, so adding references and verifying shouldn't be a particularly arduous task. If anyone has access to technical manuals or other kinds of reliable sources, it would be a huge benefit to the project, disproportionate to the effort required. I've begun working on this, I've got access to one of the best libraries in the southeastern US, but I lack the appropriate expertise to efficiently find the right texts. --Kierkkadontalk/contribs 04:57, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I want to make it clear that I'm not impugning the value of unsourced contributions; on the contrary, I think very highly of much of the content covered by this project, unsourced or not. I'm not a deletionist, neither do I think that content should just come out of left field; but I do know that in metalworking in particular a lot of important information is just held as expert knowledge that's difficult to attach to a source. Add to that the tendency for technical manuals to be really dense and ... well, technical, and it's obvious why metalworking has so much content with so little referencing. This may not be true of all subjects, but metalworking is an area where I think we are better off having experts add their knowledge and then others follow along later verifying and referencing. For what it's worth. --Kierkkadontalk/contribs 05:13, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I agree. And I feel that metalworking isn't alone regarding this theme—it holds true across various content areas in Wikipedia. It holds most strongly in industrial, commercial, and applied science areas, even more than in areas of pure science, academe, pop culture, and personal hobbies. So I'm glad to be a part of building areas like metalworking. It takes time, but it's a worthwhile pursuit... — ¾-10 01:30, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Request for reassessment
I just recently did a lot of rewrites and content-adding to Fixture (tool). It was listed as stub-class, now I think it deserves a better qualification but I don't feel comfortable basically grading myself on my own work. --Kierkkadontalk/contribs 23:02, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I've basically done exactly the same thing to Centerless grinding. I'd love for somebody to reassess it; I don't quite think it qualifies as Start class anymore. --Kierkkadontalk/contribs 17:33, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Requested articles

 * The following three either need to be outline-style pages, containing lists of pages that fall within their purvue, or dedicated articles themselves; these, from what I understand, are the three major categories into which all modern metalworking processes fall. They may exist as different names, but I think it would greatly improve the cohesion of Metalworking as a subject on Wikipedia if they were to be standardized. —Kierkkadontalk/contribs 16:33, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Forming (metalworking)
 * Done, but it still needs a fair amount of expansion and harmonization with the rest of Metalworking. —Kierkkadontalk/contribs 18:08, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I thought tooling was industry jargon for tool supply and management, which Tool management covers. What would a separate Tooling article cover? --Kierkkadontalk/contribs 14:10, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The term "tooling" traditionally to machinists, and today to machinists, has been a mass noun referring en masse to a certain range of kinds of tools—all of the cutting tools, tool holders, machine tool accessories, and tool and die–type equipment, such as fixtures and dies, used along with a machine tool itself to accomplish making a part. The machine tool itself is mentally separate, and the hand tools in one's toolbox, like a screwdriver, are not included either—this notion of which tools are not mentally classed as "tooling" is the part that non-machinists might find non-intuitive. The term "tool management" was not commonly used decades ago, but the concept would have been readily recognized—keeping track of tooling, maintaining/replacing, in short, managing it. Back then such work was done with files in cabinets and index cards in card catalog–type files (and in people's heads, although that's not a great method), and so forth—today it's done with software, but the concepts/goals are the same. I could see having a short separate article for tooling, simply for the reason of helping laypeople to understand what the word connotes, rather than for the sake of having a separate article, in itself. But I haven't thought it out extensively. I will give it some thought ...
 * It may not necessitate its own article, though there is enough science behind it to make one, Shrink Fitting is a process used on all spin tooling. It is definitely worth mentioning in a Tooling article. Will Prater
 * An IP editor recently changed the Tooling page from a redirect to an in-text request for deletion, and he also went around to a couple of other articles removing See also links to Tool management . I left a message on his talk page asking him about it, but I've never actually seen an IP editor respond. —Kierkkadontalk/contribs 20:52, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Blue Mouse Theatre

The Blue Mouse Theatre title was used for several historic vaudeville and movie venues opened by John Hamrick in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The name may have been inspired by a lounge in Paris. Hamrick is said to have used the colored rodential title for his first theatre in each city.

Blue Mouse Theatre in Proctor District, Tacoma
The Blue Mouse Theatre (1923) (originally known as Blue Mouse Jr.) is a small second-run movie theater located in the Proctor District in the north end of Tacoma, Washington. It is Washington's oldest continuously operating theater (a few blocks from the state's oldest bowling center), opened November 13, 1923.

When it was designed in the 1920s, the theater was promoted as being one of the finest suburban theaters and was referred to as "Blue Mouse Jr." to distinguish it from the larger downtown Tacoma theater of the same name. The "A spectacular melodrama" The Green Goddess may have been the first "picture show" shown on the theatre's "silent screen". By 1929, the theater was renamed the Proctor Street Theater, according to the Polk's City Directory for Tacoma. The theater was successful and in 1932 was sold. In 1972, it was re-purchased again and renamed the Bijou in 1980, but struggled to compete against area multiplexes and was threatened with becoming an office complex.

It was saved in 1993 by 17 activists and preservationists (the Blue Mouse Associates) who bought and restored "the building's original Craftsman-style timbers, stucco, pillars, marble terrazzo and original mahogany doors." The group renamed it back to the Blue Mouse Theatre and it has become a community attraction, showing popular movies on a second-run basis. The theater is partially supported by generous community donations. Tacoma glass artist Dale Chihuly designed neon blue mice "seen scurrying across the marquee" for the 221-seat theater. It is located at 2611 North Proctor Street in Tacoma.

On January 13, 2010, this Blue Mouse Theatre location was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States.

Blue Mouse Theatre in downtown Tacoma
The Blue Mouse in downtown Tacoma opened as the Apollo theater and had 650 seats. In 1922 it reopened as a Blue Mouse Theatre It was the first theater in Tacoma to show "talkies" and was done in by the city's "failed experiment" with moving sidewalks and was demolished in 1960 to make way for a new street escalator. Showings included The Jazz Singer in January 1928. It was located at 1131-1133 Broadway.

Blue Mouse Theatre Portland
The Blue Mouse Theatre opened in Portland was at 1032 SW Washington Street. The location was originally opened as a Globe Theater in 1912, before being taken over and completely remodeled in 1921 by John Hamrick  It used a wurlitzer organ shipped from the factory in 1922. Harry Quinn Mills was organist at the Blue Mouse in 1922 and Dubois Cornish was organist in 1927. According to Balcom & Vaughan records, the organ was last used for silent films in March 1928. The theater hosted the first sound picture in Portland in 1926: John Barrymore in Don Juan.

Hamrick-Evergreen Theatres closed the venue sometime around 1936 and it was reopened again in 1940 by Paul Forsythe, who "presented family films and kiddie matinees" and "was rewarded with success and a host of good patrons, young and old who became loyal Blue Mouse fans." The theater faced eviction when the property was sold, and the building was to be torn down.

The Blue Mouse Theatre signage was moved to the Capitol Theatre building downtown in 1958 (which had itself been closed down). The new location at 626 SW 4th St (also listed as Morrison and 4th Avenue, location of the former Capitol Theatre) was in a less upscale neighborhood, but stayed in business until 1977 when the "Blue Mouse Block" was demolished to "make way for a huge parking facility. According to one account, "There was a faint outcry to 'save the Blue Mouse' but even if it had been a mighty roar, it was to no more avail than the 'Save the Fox' campaign was in San Francisco in 1963."

Blue Mouse Theatre Corvallis
The Blue Mouse Theatre in Corvallis, Oregon was built in 1921, and lasted only until 1923. It had a Wurlitzer organ and was a "tiny gem" of theater. The building is still standing at 106 NW 2nd Street and "looks like a theatre from the outside."

Blue Mouse Theatre Seattle
The Blue Mouse Theatre in Seattle was constructed around 1920 and demolished in 1972 to make way for the construction of Peoples National Bank of Washington's "high-rise banking facility".

Xanxerê

Xanxerê is a city in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. Italian and German are the mainstream cultures, having been brought by immigrants in the early 20th century through the migration of the "gauchos".

The city is one of the main production centers of maize in Brazil and serves as an important industrial, commercial and service center for western Santa Catarina. It is located in a key position for trades via Mercosul.

Xanxerê is the headquarters of the Association of Cities of Alto Irani (AMAI), composed of 17 "municípios".

On April 20, 2015, a destructive tornado hit the city. Many homes and businesses were severely damaged or destroyed, two people died, and another 120 were injured. The tornado was rated F3 on the Fujita Scale, according meteorologists. At least 2,600 homes were damaged or destroyed.

Due pezzi (Berio)

Due pezzi, literally meaning "two pieces", is a composition for violin and piano, written by the Italian composer Luciano Berio in 1951. It was published by Suvini Zerboni. The first performance—by pianist Seymour Lipkin and violinist Lorin Maazel, to whom the work is dedicated—took place during the 1952 Tanglewood Music Festival. Berio composed these pieces and three other works (Cinque variazioni for piano, Chamber Music for female voice, clarinet, harp, and cello, and the Variations for chamber orchestra) in response to meeting Luigi Dallapiccola. As the composer says: "with these works I entered the 'melodic' world of Dallapiccola and these same works allowed me to leave it".

Castle Semple Loch

Castle Semple Loch is a 1.5-mile-long (2.5 km) inland freshwater loch at Lochwinnoch in Renfrewshire, Scotland. Originally part of an estate of the same name, it is now administered by Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park as a watersports centre. An RSPB bird sanctuary is located on the loch's southern shore.

Loch history
Early authors, such as Hector Boece (1465–1536), often use the term 'Garnoth' or 'Garnott' and may be referring to a single large loch incorporating Kilbirnie Loch and Loch Winnoch (Barr and Castle Semple Lochs). Boece in his book of 1527 the 'Historia Gentis Scotorum' (History of the Scottish People), says that this entity was nocht unlike the Loch Doune full of fische.

There is a long history of drainage schemes and farming operations in the Lochwinnoch area, with co-ordinated attempts dating from about 1691 by Lord Sempill, followed by Colonel McDowal of Castle Sempil in 1774, James Adams of Burnfoot, and by others. Until these drainage works Loch Winnoch and Kilbirnie Loch nearly met and often did during flooding, to the extent that, as stated, early writers such as Boece, Hollings and Petruccio Ubaldini regarded the lochs as one, using the name 'Garnoth' or 'Garnott'.

The Castle Semple and Barr Lochs lie in an area previously covered by one large loch known as ‘Loch Winnoch’, however by the end of the 18th century silt from the River Calder had divided the loch into two and thus Castle Semple and Barr Loch became separate entities. In 1814 Barr Loch and the Aird Meadow was bunded and drained, however after WW2 the area was gradually abandoned for any agricultural use.

Harvey of Castle Semple refused the use of Castle Semple loch to the Royal Curling Club for the Grand Match or bonspiel; he could spare no part of the 2-mile-long loch; however, his neighbour, McDowall of Garthland, offered the Barr Meadow, which he flooded to a depth of two to three feet, thereby providing a safe alternative venue. The event of 11 January 1850 was very successful and attracted huge crowds. The North won for the first time by a majority of 233 shots.

The Loch has hosted the Scottish Rowing Championships and the Home International Regatta.

Buildings
The ruins of the early mediaeval Peel Tower stand on the southern shore of the loch at Air Meadow, inaccessible except by boat. This tower was probably used as a fortified stronghold by the people of the area around the loch for defense against bandits and other dangers, as only the locals knew the safe paths through the marsh.

The ruins of the small sixteenth-century Collegiate Church can be found on the northern shore along a well-maintained path. It was built in 1504 by John, Lord Sempill, in the grounds of the original (13th-century) Castle Semple, and is now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.

Although the house itself burnt down at the beginning of the 20th century, the grounds of Castle Semple on the loch's northern shore still contain the walls of the old walled garden as well as much of the surrounding wall and one of the gates.

There is also an octagonal structure, known as The Temple, on top of Kenmuir hill near the house, which was built in the 18th century.

She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown

She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown is the 19th prime-time animated television special based on the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz and a spin off around Peppermint Patty and Marcie. It originally aired on the CBS network on February 25, 1980, making it the first Peanuts special of the 1980s. It is also one of the few Peanuts animated specials to feature clear and intelligible adult voices. From 2010-2019, ABC had the rights to air this special, which it paired with Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!

Synopsis
Peppermint Patty is practicing figure skating with her coach Snoopy for an upcoming competition, but the many days of getting up to practice at 4:30 A.M. are starting to take their toll, and she falls asleep constantly in class. One of her practices is halted briefly when a group of ten ice hockey players threatens her if she does not leave the ice so they can play. Patty and Snoopy take care of the situation by shoving the lead ice hockey players on each squad, causing both teams of ice hockey players to fall on top of each other like dominoes and be swept off the ice by Snoopy.

Later that day after an afternoon practice, Marcie, who is observing, invites Patty over to her house for hot cocoa and cookies. Once there, Patty notices that Marcie has a sewing machine. Despite Marcie explaining that it is her mother's machine, and that she does not know how to sew, Patty commissions her to make a dress for the competition. With that settled, they head to a fabric store and buy the supplies. As expected, the dress does not come out good on Marcie's part, looking more like a sleeveless poncho, to which Marcie defends her mistake by reminding her that she told her she did not know how to sew, and that the homespun outfit was Patty's idea, not hers. Patty heads back outside and almost tearfully shows Snoopy the mangled dress. He leads her back to Marcie's and, taking the dress from Patty, returns to the sewing machine and almost instantly sews the dress into a top-notch skating outfit.

However, Snoopy is less helpful when Patty complains that her hair is a "mousey blah" style. Snoopy brings in a large red gift box, and inside is a large red curly-haired wig that makes Patty look like Little Orphan Annie. After trying it on, Patty rolls her eyes and dumps the wig on Snoopy's head.

The day of the competition has arrived. All the contestants are first practicing altogether, then they clear while Snoopy clears the ice. The first two contestants end up falling and get rather low scores. The third contestant does not fall, and gets such a good score that the pressure is on for Patty. Unfortunately, disaster seems to strike as her music tape goes haywire in the cassette deck. While Snoopy frantically tries to fix it and ends up in a fight with the machine on the ice, Patty is starting to sweat as she holds her opening pose longer than she expected, and all the rest of the Peanuts characters in the audience worry that she will be disqualified. However, disaster is averted when Woodstock steps up to the microphone and whistles the music "O mio babbino caro".

Peppermint Patty receives the highest score, and has won the competition. She is shown on the stand with her trophy, while the runners-up stand below her with silver and bronze medals. On the way out, she is talking with Snoopy about her performance, and Snoopy is back as his grumbling, coaching self. She finally asks if he has anything nice to say, and she gets kissed on the cheek by him, much to her delight. Woodstock is shown bringing up the rear whistling the music again.

Figure skating animation
Although the plot line is implausible, the actual skating portrayed in the film is quite accurate for the time. Peppermint Patty is seen practicing compulsory figures and her free skating routine uses realistic figure skating jumps, spins, and choreography. The skating scenes were animated using the rotoscoping technique, using Schulz's own daughter (credited as Amy Schulz) as one of the models. Some of the skating footage appears in the concluding animation associated with the credits.

Original strips
This program was written from a relatively long series of Peanuts comic strips originally published in 1974. The strip had other subplots that were left out of the special, and changes were made to the storyline for the special:

 * In the strip, after the disaster with Patty's skating dress, Marcie's mother stepped in to make the alterations. It was Snoopy who altered the dress in the TV special.
 * After Patty gets her dress she wants to do something with her self-described "mousy-blah" hair, so she ultimately decides to go to Charlie Brown's dad's barber shop, but Charlie Brown forgot to tell his dad she was a girl (added to which Peppermint Patty told Charlie Brown's dad that she could strike him out in three pitches), so he gives her a boy's haircut, much to her despair. To cover up the mistake, Patty wears an afro wig several sizes too big. This scene is altered in the special, with the wig a gift from Snoopy and promptly refused.
 * Patty arrives at the competition and only at that point finds out that it is for roller skating, not ice skating, but not before she gets into trouble inadvertently damaging the rink floor with her skate blades. Patty returns from the competition realizing she still owes Snoopy for her lessons. Having no money, she gives him her wig as payment.

Here it is: [User:Phillipsacp|Phil]] talk 22:31, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok you just need to add another [ to the begining. Alf melmac 22:38, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I am only too happy to help, I do not consider it bugging at all. All live links must have two square brackets before and after the 'go to' address, just add another [ to the very beginning and it should be sorted. Alf melmac 22:59, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

I should mention that external website addresses use only one bracket at either end, so I would have been better to say all internal (wiki) links need whatever you want it to display here, followed by two more brackets-> and all external (external website) links use one. Put a space after the web address and type a description to hide the address and show the description:
 * this: Wikipedia main page
 * displays as this: Wikipedia main page

Bingo
That last one works fine, both links 'pipe' properly now. I added, excuse my impertinence, a link to your sandbox on your user page, for when these conversations are removed or archived. I also moved the previous version of this page into your sandbox as I wasn't sure if you had done with it. You can obviously delete it if you're done with it. Pleasure to be able to help.

Ooops, did you uncheck the raw signature by mistake, it needs to have a green tick in it. The string is correct, so it must be the raw signature box, it must have a green tick in it, it probably got unticked by mistake. Alf melmac 23:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Supreme Court of Justice hostage crisis

The Supreme Court of Justice Hostage Crisis was a 1993 attack in which five gunmen from a group calling itself the "Death Commando" group took over the Costa Rican Supreme Court in San José on April 26 and held 19 supreme court judges (magistrates) and five administrative employees as hostages.

Four days later, after lengthy negotiations, the 24 hostages were freed and the members of the "Death Commando" were taken to an airport where they were going to take an airplane that would take them to Guatemala. The hostage-takers were captured in a spectacular raid before they were able to board the aircraft.

While early suspicions had existed that they were Colombian guerrillas, it transpired that they were actually Costa Ricans and that one of them wanted money for a liver transplant.

Philip Balsam

Philip Balsam (23 December 1943 – 31 March 2023) was a Canadian songwriter, composer, and author. Many of his musical works were created for television or theatre, in collaboration with a lyricist. He is best known for his work on the show Fraggle Rock.

Career
With fellow Canadian Dennis Lee, Balsam wrote about 190 songs for the television series Fraggle Rock; a few more songs were written with author Tim Wynne-Jones. The songs were sung by puppets on the show; some of them were released as an album, Fraggle Rock: Music and Magic, in 1993.

A second album, Jim Henson's Muppets present Fraggle Rock, released in 1984, was produced by Balsam and Don Gillis. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award, which it won jointly with Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends.

Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park

Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park is a state park unit of California, United States, preserving Allensworth, the only California town to be founded, financed and governed by African Americans. The small farming community was founded in 1908 by Lt. Colonel Allen Allensworth, Professor William Payne, William Peck, a minister; John W. Palmer, a miner; and  Harry A. Mitchell, a real estate agent, dedicated to improving the economic and social status of African Americans. Colonel Allensworth (1842–1914) had a friendship with Booker T. Washington and was inspired by the Tuskegee Institute and development in its neighboring town. Allensworth hoped to develop the "Tuskegee of the West".

Uncontrollable circumstances, including a drop in the area's water table, resulted in the town's demise. Allensworth is now an unincorporated area in Tulare County.

The park has a train station on the San Joaquins line, that is used during special events at the park, or when large tour groups book a stop.

Early history
In 1908, United States Army veteran Lt. Colonel Allen Allensworth and Professor William Payne, Rev. William Peck and John W. Palmer, and Harry A. Mitchell sought to build a town where African Americans could own property, learn, and live the American Dream. They chose an 800 acre Tulare County site for a new town near the present location of Earlimart, California, and about 45 mi north of Bakersfield. The site was chosen for fertile soil, adequate water, and its location along a railroad corridor. Black men and women — craftsmen, artisans, businessmen, farmers, ranchers, retired military — moved their families to the newly purchased land. In 1914, the California Eagle newspaper stated that Allensworth deeded land was worth more than $112,000. The affairs of the town were administered by a council form of government known as the Allensworth Progressive Association, which directed the community through its formative and critical early years. Men and women held responsible positions in the community.

Allensworth's economy depended on agriculture; farmers cultivated alfalfa, wheat, sugar beets, and cotton; and raised dairy cattle, chickens, turkeys, and Belgian hares. The town had several businesses and public buildings: bakery, drugstore, livery stable, barbershop, church, school, library, and a machine shop. Sources such as the Oakland Sunshine, a leading black Oakland, California newspaper, in 1913 claimed that Allensworth generated nearly $5,000 monthly in its business ventures.

In 1910 Joshua and Henrietta Singleton opened Singleton's General Store & Post Office. The store sold a variety of merchandise and served as a weigh station for wagons. The Allensworth Hotel was opened by Clara and John Morris; the hotel had eight guestrooms and charged 75 cents per night.

Water problems
In 1908 the southwest corner of Tulare County had abundant water from wells drilled into the then-shallow water table. The artesian wells and water mains laid throughout the residences during and since 1912 were controlled by Allensworth Rural Water Company, a state corporation. But water problems began developing in 1912 and by 1914 had become serious. The declining water tables throughout the area and increasing problems with alkali salts helped to doom the community. As the original settlers moved away, the land values declined, some of the houses were left empty, and others were rented or sold.

By the 1950s Allensworth was an impoverished area without drinkable water supplies; its only water wells were contaminated with arsenic, and state health officials declared them unusable. When the state acquired the land for park purposes, state officials said land owners were paid "market value" but because these values were so low, the state also provided financial assistance to relocate the former owners. According to State Park Ranger Greg Kauffman, "only two or three families were unhappy with the move". And, he said, "the project itself has received strong support".

Colonel Allensworth's death
In 1919 Delilah L. Beasley wrote in her book The Negro Trail-Blazers of California: "'The death of Colonel Allensworth was most tragic, because after passing through three wars, he was finally killed by a careless motorcyclist on the streets of Monrovia, California, a few miles out from Los Angeles, the accident occurring on a Sunday morning in September, 1914. The aged Colonel was on his way to preach in a small church of the village and had just stepped from a Pacific Electric street car when these men knocked him down and ran over him, killing him through their careless driving, his death, occurring within twenty-four hours afterwards without his regaining consciousness, it was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky to the people of the State. He had spent the two years previous in dictating and assisting Professor Charles Alexander to write his autobiography.'" The book had been sent to the publishers and was ready to come off the press when he was killed.

Widely loved and respected, Allensworth received a military funeral by the Grand Army of the Republic veterans of Los Angeles. Memorial services were held for him throughout the state and nation. He was interred at Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles on September 18, 1914. The Allensworth community was devastated. Although Professor William Payne and Oscar Overr assumed the leadership of the colony, no one could replace the Colonel. Without Allensworth's spiritual guidance and leadership, the community began to disintegrate. By 1920, the two leading figures, William Payne and the widow Josephine Allensworth, had left the area. Payne accepted a teaching job in El Centro, while Josephine Allensworth returned to Los Angeles to live with her daughter Nella. The exodus of residents continued during the years of the Great Depression and World War II.

California State Historic Park
In 1968 Cornelius "Ed" Pope, a former resident of Allensworth, worked in Sacramento as a draftsman and planner for the California Department of Parks and Recreation. With the help of a professor at California State University, Sacramento, he wrote a proposal to restore the Allensworth settlement as a state historical site. In 1972 "Allensworth Historic District" was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Finally, in 1974 then-Governor Ronald Reagan authorized the department to establish the park. Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park was established on 240 acre in 1976. Ed Pope returned to the area in his retirement "to become a preservation activist on the scene."

The 100th anniversary of Allensworth was celebrated in October 2008. Events are held throughout the year to commemorate the park's history.

The preserved townsite features nine restored buildings, including a schoolhouse, a hotel, a general store, and library and several homes. The park has a visitor center, and tours are available by making arrangements with the park in advance. The visitor center features a video presentation, "The Spirit of Allensworth."

Fifteen campsites, open all year, accommodate RVs or tents. Each site includes a picnic table and a camp stove; flush toilets are nearby. Facilities accessible to people with disabilities are available. Turf, trees, and shade ramadas are other features. A nearby picnic area is shaded by 75 large trees, planted by the California Conservation Corps.

The park is 10 mi southwest of Earlimart on County Road J22, just west of the Central Valley Highway [SR-43].

Terrain and environment
The terrain is typical of the southern San Joaquin Valley. Excepting the railroad roadbed, there is less than 5 ft elevation difference across town. Like most of the valley, there has been some subsidence probably related to historic overpumping of ground water for irrigation.

A generally warm, dry climate prevails in the Central Valley; it is hot in the summer, mild in the winter. In the Central Valley precipitation falls mainly from October through April. Winter temperatures well below freezing producing frost; however, snow is very rare. Summer temperatures above 100 F are part of the normal pattern.

The valley was historically the site of vernal pools and seasonal lakes before 20th-century diversions of water and agriculture. A natural gas well field exists west of town. Burrowing owls, a species active in daylight hours, are sometimes present in the park.

Just north of Allensworth is the 6389 acre Pixley National Wildlife Refuge, operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Adjacent to the town is the Allensworth Ecological Reserve. The endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) can be found in this area.

In 2007 the State of California passed Assembly Bill 576, which established a 2.5 mi dairy-free zone around the park. The bill was in response to two proposed dairies. Environmental activists protested that the operations were likely to have a potentially negative impact (dairy flies and odors) on the adjacent Pixley National Wildlife Refuge, Allensworth Ecological Reserve, and the historic park.

Amtrak station
The Allensworth station or Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park station is located east of the state historic park, just outside the entrance to the park near the Central Valley Highway (SR-43). The station has a platform only with no shelter. The station is served by Amtrak's San Joaquin service between Bakersfield and either Oakland or Sacramento. It opened some time in or before 2001.

The station is a conditional stop, with the train only stopping for groups of 20 or more that make reservations several weeks in advance. Since special arrangements must be made prior to booking trips to and from the station, it does not appear on many of Amtrak's lists of active stations. Scheduled service is provided during special events at the park, including the annual Juneteenth celebration.

In, passengers boarded or detrained at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park station.

San Joaquins are expected to cease services here once California High-Speed Rail operations begin.

Rare 1880s railroad boxcars
Two rare 19th-century railroad boxcars, which are believed to have been the residence of the station agent at Allensworth, have been restored by the California State Railroad Museum and are displayed at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. California State Parks contracted with the nonprofit museum in mid-2002 to conserve and restore the two railroad boxcar bodies associated with Allensworth. Wheels and axles had been removed after the turn of the 20th century; today the boxcars are today considered rare specimens of early railroad freight cars. For the project, one car was fully documented and received a museum-level conservation.

Louis II, Count of Flanders

Louis II (Lodewijk van Male; Louis II de Flandre) (25 October 1330, Male – 30 January 1384, Lille), also known as Louis of Male, a member of the House of Dampierre, was Count of Flanders, Nevers and Rethel from 1346 as well as Count of Artois and Burgundy from 1382 until his death.

Family
Louis was the son of Count Louis I of Flanders, and Countess Margaret I of Burgundy, daughter of King Philip V of France. He was baptised by Bishop Pierre Roger (later Pope Clement VI). His father arranged his marriage with Margaret, daughter of Duke John III of Brabant, in the course of the rapprochement to the Imperial Duchy of Brabant. They had a daughter, Countess Margaret III of Flanders (1348–1405). Louis also had several illegitimate sons, three of whom were killed at the Battle of Nicopolis.

Rule
When his father was killed at the Battle of Crécy against the troops of King Edward III of England in 1346, he inherited the French counties of Flanders, Nevers, and Rethel. In the Anglo-French conflict, the Flanders guilds, depending on the English wool trade, forced Louis to recognize King Edward III as his overlord and arranged an engagement to the daughter of the English king, Isabella. Louis managed to avoid this by fleeing to the court of King Philip VI of France. In 1347 he married Margaret of Brabant, which sparked a revolt in Ghent. Nevertheless, while the Black Death devastated the county and after Louis came to terms with the English king in 1349 he could return to Flanders to succeed his father.

In 1350 Louis gained credence by openly refusing to pay homage to the newly ascended King John II of France. When his father-in-law John III died without male heirs in 1355, he moved to claim the Duchy of Brabant, but was unable to wrest it from his sister-in-law Joanna. Though Louis managed to defeat the Brabantian forces in the Battle of Scheut near Anderlecht (17 August 1356) and capture the cities of Mechelen, Brussels, Antwerp, and Leuven, he was unable to prevail against Joanna, backed by her husband Duke Wenceslaus I of Luxembourg and his mighty brother Emperor Charles IV. By the 1357 Peace of Ath he at least gained the rule over the small Lordship of Mechelen and the thriving city of Antwerp.

Louis tried to govern as a realpolitiker and continued a policy of neutrality, which kept him in favor with both France and England during the continued conflicts of the Hundred Years' War, initiating a period of stability and relative affluence in Flanders. With regards to his internal policy, his main aim was to prevent the formation of a broad coalition against him, as happened against his father. Except for his last years, he was successful in preventing this.

In 1355 Louis II had his seven-year-old daughter Margaret marry the minor Duke Philip I of Burgundy. Philip died from plague four years later. As heir presumptive to her father's territories, she was a highly coveted bride courted by both Edmund of Langley, son of King Edward III of England, and Philip the Bold, son of King John II of France and the new duke of Burgundy since 1363. After several years of tough bargaining, Count Louis II gave his consent to Philip and his brother King Charles V of France. In return he received the lordships of Romance Flanders (Lille, Douai, Orchies) and a payment of 200,000 livre tournois. The marriage of Margaret and Philip was celebrated at the church of Saint Bavo's Abbey in Ghent on 19 June 1369.

Though a capable ruler, Louis' lavish lifestyle burdened his county's finances and caused increasing disturbances. However, even in his latter years he managed to get the support of the Bruges citizens against revolting Ghent. The latter years of his rule were nevertheless marked by civil strife. In 1379, he obtained aid from his son-in-law, Philip the Bold, to put down another Ghent revolt. The Flemings again rose in 1382 under Philip van Artevelde and expelled Count Louis from Flanders after the Battle of Beverhoutsveld; however, the influence of Philip the Bold procured a French army to relieve him, and the Flemings were decisively defeated at the Battle of Roosebeke. The citizens of Ghent continued to resist (with English aid) until after his death in 1384. His mother, Margaret, had died two years previously, leaving him the County of Artois and the Free County of Burgundy (Franche-Comté).
