Talk:Mister Mxyzptlk

Bat-Mite meeting
Mxyzptlk met Bat-Mite before the cited examples. I will dig out the info later.

 * There is at least one story in which Myx and Bat-Mite kidnap and impersonate Supergirl and Batgirl (kind of a "World's Finest for Girls" story) in order to settle a bet. I'll see if I can find it.

Pronunciation...
I seem to remember the pronunciation being given as: mix-yez-PIT-lek in some 1960's comic... any details available on varying pronunciations given by DC over the years? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.5.192.207 (talk • contribs) 23:20, March 11, 2006 (UTC) (UTC)

 * I recall the old Batman/Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure pronunciation as mix-yez-PIT-ul-ick. --Joe Sewell 17:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Various semi-"official" pronounciations have been given on letter pages over the years. I recall mix-yez-pittle-ik as one.  Strait 12:18, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

The explanations of the spellings contradict themselves. what was first pt or tp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.197.244 (talk) 09:21, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

 * Per Ambush Bug #2, June 1985, thought balloon by Jonni DC and editor's note by Julius Schwartz: Earth-1's Mxy is spelled Mxyzptlk and pronounced "MIX-YEZ-PITEL-ICK" (underlining is [sic]); Earth-2 is Mxyztplk and pronounced "MUX-IZT-PULK." Agree with 75.72 regarding contradiction - Golden Age section starts with discussion of pt, but it was tp first. Fitfatfighter 06:38, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Regardless of the "semi-official pronunciations", can we at least put one up on the main page for people who don't read Klingon? I'd do it myself, but having come across this page on my internet ramblings, am ill-suited to the task. Wiltingplant (talk) 08:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

66.214.64.91 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:18, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Why isn't there an audio file of the pronunciation?

Here is how I remember it growing up in the 80's. It sounds like Mix'-ul-plik, or Mits'-ul-plik. you tube: Wl40u-6-MBM?t=1m41s or search youtube for "Mxyzptlk Strikes Again" and listen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.184.225.15 (talk) 22:32, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I remember one comic, probably in the early 60s, where a letter to the editor asked how to pronounce the name, and the answer was approximately "Exactly how it's spelled." Being a language geek, I worked that out to "m-KSIZ-ptlk" (IPA [m̩ˈksɪzptl̩k]), with syllabic [m] and [l]; backwards, "klt-PZIK-sm" [kl̩tˈpzɪksm̩]. --Thnidu (talk) 03:40, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Spelling
Why is "Mister" spelled out in the article title? The name is rendered with "Mr." in two of the comic book cover images shown on the page, and many of the references in the article. (The "Mr. Magoo" article uses the abbreviation.) Danchall (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 16:13, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Mxyzptlk didn't survive Crisis
... did he? (I thought he was consumed by whatzitsname that generated the old Phantom Zone, and that the post-Man of Steel version has never been officially connected to the pre-MOS one.) --Joe Sewell 17:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Mr. Mxyzptlk did and did not survive the Crisis the same way that Superman did and did not survive it. In both cases the old characters were dropped and new ones with the same names and somewhat different backgrounds/personalities/powers were introduced shortly thereafter.  Strait 12:20, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * He also survives in that he seems unbound by the Crisis. He also dies in recent story, does't he? --Chris Griswold 13:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Eh, death for Mxy is a tricky subject. It was establised in an earlier issue shortly after Superman's return from "death" against Doomsday that Death was a completely foreign and unknown thing in the 5th D. Mxy was so befuddled that he went to creating "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang, Badda-Boomsday" just to seee Supes killed again and thus understand what death was. Another thing that I don't seem to get is post-DOV's Mxy. If his brand of reality warping is half magic and half science, then how could he be completely powerless? There's also the fact that in a previous Batman comic(which could have been Pre-crisis, I'll have to find the issue), Batman noticed that Mxyzptlk was unnaffected by a total magic draining assault.
 * Mxy is far, far beyond the human concepts of magic and science. Lots42 (talk) 14:01, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

First appearance
Actually, Mr. Mxyzptlk first appeared in the Superman daily newspaper strip. Late February/March 1944. (Superman #30 came out in September 1944). In strip #1611, March 6, 1944, he introduces himself as Mr. Mxyztplk, after bothering Clark Kent at the Daily Planet for a few weeks.

Threat to the JLA as a whole?
If Mr Mxyzptlk is so powerful magic wise he could probably kill the members of the JLA can't he? Just a thought...

Tomcat200 30 May 2006

Well, seeing as Mxy is more powerful then The Spectre, Shazam, The Phantom Stranger, Zeus, Ganthet, High Father and Darkseid, I'd say yes is the answer to your question.

Yeah. Haven't you read the Emperor Joker arc? Or the two issues where he manifests as the twin in suits selling uberencyclopedias? If Mxy put his mind to it he could kick just about anybody's ass to hell. (He wouldn't bother about kicking them back.) Be glad he's satisfied pissing Clark off.

 * Is this related to the article? --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  )  14:47, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Fictional Dwarf?
I don't think that he belongs in the "fictional dwarf" category. Yes, he's short. But I really don't think that most people would identify him as a dwarf in either the fantasy sense (mining, axes, beards...) or the human sense (real humans who are very short). Strait 17:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point.--Chris Griswold 20:36, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Mxyzptlk in Divine Divinity?
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I recall a character named Mxyzptlk in the PCgame Divine Divinity by Larian. He was a teleporting imp or something...

Rumplestilkin...
Forgive me if i'm wrong but isn't Rumplestilkin from an actual folk tale?--129.49.5.164 18:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, Rumpelstiltskin has been around well before any comic books. If anything, the name-backwards trick might have been inspired by the power Rumpelstiltskin's secret name had over him. Hard to say what the creators were thinking of, but I would not call this a reference to the comic book character. UltraNurd 16:56, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Mxyzptlk and the Dodo
I did want to point out that Mxyzptlk loves tormenting other people in other dimensions. For instance, he inadverently teamed up with the classic Dodo Bird, while being sent back to the Fifth Dimension in the Superman/Bugs Bunny miniseries (which I'm still waiting for DC Comics to publish in collected GN format).

Here Dodo teleports Mxyzptlk into the Looney Tunes world temporarily, and after being harrassed by Foghorn Leghorn, anviled by Daffy (in his Three Musketeers role), and nearly devoured by the Tazmanian Devil, the imp has a fiendish scheme where he temporarily establishes an alliance with the Dodo Bird to contruct a pipe organ device (ever notice how ALL multidimensional controls are pipe organs?).

Once constructed, Mxyzptlk and Dodo start phasing LT characters into the DC Universe. They even go to such lengths as switching Superman with Elmer Fudd (no kidding) and do a classic take of Daffy as Bat-Duck.

Of course, while this is all going on, the Toyman is causing havoc in Gotham City (I presume, since Bat-Duck attempts to stop him there), summoning the JLA to come to the rescue, with the LT gang (headed by Bugs of course) in tow. After putting away the criminal, they end up in the dimension where Mxyzptlk and Dodo are at. But the imp as always, takes over and threatens to merge the LT and DC Universe into one. Fortunately Bugs tricks Mxyzptlk in saying his name backwards when the wasically wabbit informs him to post his triumph at www.Kltpzyxm.com. Fortunately Dodo corrects the problem keeping the Universes permenantly separate, because he really doesn't need the competiton if they merge. To summon things up, the series ends on note where Perry White finds Michigan J. Frog, and Bugs looks on in a DC Comic book.

Apologies for the exposition there. But getting back to the imp in general, Mxyzptlk also disguised himself as a lowly, intradimensional traveller visiting Mumm-Ra, in order to cause some havoc in Superman/Thundercats. But I should note here, Mxyzptlk doesn't reveal himself until Mumm-Ra gets pissed with the traveller for the failed scheme of ridding himself of the Thundercats.

Apparently our favorite imp likes to get around. Fangarius 19:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Addition to Mxy's powers
I think Mxyzptlk should have some form of Omniscence listed under his powers. There are several instances of him knowing things that few other characters around him are aware of, sometimes even those of high standing like The Spectre(though I could be wrong). In Adventures of Superman #617 the Mxy twins make several allusions to metagaming knowledge, as well as using the term "Retcon". In That Healing Touch, which I unfortunately have yet to get my hands on, Mxy travels to our dimension in a second, talking to the writer. The lack of time in this action denotes him having previous knowledge of the dimensions existance.

Also to note a few things from Superman/Batman:Vegeance, when Mxy and Joker are playing Chess, the pieces are spoofs of Heroclix, most likely created by Mxy.

Let's take note of this quote from the same source as well.

''Joker: Why doesn't anybody remember when I had your magic? When "I" -- the great me -- was Emperor of Everything?!

''Mxy: They don't remember because I don't want them to remember. That...And they haven't collected those stories into a trade paper back yet...

Also, from that same story, the main pawns of the two nigh omnipotent beings, were the Maximums, obvious spoofs of the Ultimate version of the Avengers.

Now, moving onto Ruin Revealed. Mxy is fully aware of everything that would occur to him since he arrived, seen in his self narration.

In previous, but recent issues, Mxy warned Superman twice of the coming Infinite Crisis, aware of its soon existance.

Also, though World's Funnest isn't canonical, Mxy showed knowledge of the previous Multiverse and the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Joker was also aware of the COIE during his hold on Mxy's power.

Does any one else concur...?

As an addition to my prior point, I recently read That Healing Touch Mxy not only instantly traveled to our world, but punched a DC employee from the DCU through a phone line.

There is something wrong in the article: in John Byrne's Superman, when superman first encounters Mr. Mxyzptlk, it is Mr. Myx who limits himself by committing to return to his dimension if Superman (or anyone) makes him say his name backwards. So it is not a weakness but a self-limitation.

 * I think the bit with the name reversal might be yet another joke Mxy is playing on Earth. In JLA (Morrison Porter) 32 an imp, not Mxy, is threatened into saying his name backwards by other imps, thus removing him from the Earthly plane. Lots42 (talk) 10:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Flintstones and Hanna-Barbara Cartoons?
I think I remember him tormenting Fred in a Flintstones cartoon. Does anyone have any information on this? Did he also show up in the Jetsons?--64.231.182.194 02:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the great gazoo. Brian Boru is awesome 02:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

It was indeed the great gazoo in the Flintstones. (Gazoo and Mxyzptlk are two seperate characters.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.207.32.37 (talk) 18:53, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Use of the past tense
The article currently has a tag that says that it uses the past tense to refer to fiction, which is not in-line with policy.

I agree that this is a problem in general, but when talking about a multi-decade evolution of canon, one must use multiple tenses. The article should probably be analyzed with a view toward clarifying any potential confusion between usage that is reasonable, and actually talks about the real-world evolution of the fiction and the fictional history/histories of the character. The latter needs to be re-written in compliance with the policy, at which point the tag should be removed. I'd do it, but I'm trying not to spend too much time editing articles these days.

Site note: Amusingly enough this difficulty in describing the evolution of backstory revisions is the subject of the Alan Moore series, Supreme, which describes a superman-like character who becomes aware of his own ongoing revisions. -Harmil 22:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Is the recent Mxy, actually Mxy?
I've been looking over the recent Characterizations of Mr. Mxyzptlk and I've come to the realization that he may not be him, but Mxyztplk.

My evidence:

-The appearance of the recent Mxy is exactly the same as Earth Two's Mxyztplk.

-Mxy-2 was well known for being a kind, though mischievous element in Kal-L's life. Mxy-1 is well known for being a sadistic SOB who loves to torture people, even kill them, with out so much as batting an eye.

-Mxy-2's powers were well documented as being 100% magic. This made him a far-cry from Mxy-1 who is essentially omnipotent. Mxy-2 was affected by very high level magics and anything that affected or drained magic affected him. This would explain the weakened Mxy shown in Ruin Revealed.

- Finally, as revealed in 52, The Multi-verse/Hypertime still exists and thus the continued of Mxyztplk is highly likely. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.33.9.99 (talk) 23:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC).

Mxyzptlk in the cartoons
Ok, I was wondering, after watching a Superman cartoon, if the same guy I saw was in fact Mister Mxyzptlk. Basically, he was a guy in a gree suit really, and was wondering if that was him or not. Captain Drake Van Hellsing 09:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Lucifer and Michael
Shouldn't there be some sourcing for the statements in his powers section? It was blatantly shown in Emperor Joker that he was more powerful then The Spectre and it has been shown that Michael is more powerful then The Spectre as well, but where is the connection? It also brings up the question of how Mxy stands with the Endless. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.33.9.99 (talk) 23:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC).

Actually, Myxy was shown to be more powerful than the Hal Jordan Spectre. As recently stated on Myxy's very Wiki page, the Hal Jordan Spectre couldn't take the King of Tears, whom the Jim Corrigan Spectre was shown defeating with ease in the very same storyline (JSA: The Return of Hawkman graphic novel).BWANASIMBA 05:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

It was also shown in Justice League of America: Justice for All that the Spectre was easily defeated by a 5th dimensional genie similar to the Thunderbolt. I don't know which incarnation this was but it was definately NOT Jordan.

Yes, but a) Spectre had no host then and b) that blue thunderbolt was being secretly aided and manipulated by Qwsp. Plus, they didn't actually show the fight, they just showed hostless Spectre had been bested and imprisoned. Also, later on Yz the Thunderbolt and the rest of the JSA had to fight Johnny Sorrow and the King of Tears and Yz did not even try facing off with the King of Tears, an opponent Spectre had bested in his Jim Corrigan days easily. Also, didn't Spectre banish Yz and Jakeem to the 5th dimension in Day Vengeance?BWANASIMBA 23:13, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

The Thunderbolts are well known to be much more limited then actual imps like Qwsp or Mxyzptlk. Their power may be equal to an imp, but it is limited to the commands of their owner. That explains how the Blue Djinn trapped the Spectre in the fabric of the physical universe and why Jakeem was defeated during Day of Vengeance. The Blue Djinn had been given essential free reign while Yz acted on Jakeem's orders. And if the user's wording isn't perfect, it won't give the correct effect. So just because Jakeem was banished doesn't mean the Thunderbolt is weaker than The Spectre.

A wife?

 * 1) 32 of the Morrison/Porter JLA has a fifth dimensional imp leading a charge to help Earth, because said imp is concerned that if Earth is destroyed, Mxy will stay home (and presumably be annoying there). Just thought it was an interesting fact to throw out and discuss. Lots42 (talk) 10:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Spectre and Fifth Dimension beings
As it was said below, Jakeem didn't word his wish properly to deal with the Spectre. If you simply say "send so and so to Tahiti" and "so and so" can teleport at least on a global scale, the wish would be insufficient to effectively deal with him/her. It was also shown in the Justice For All trade that one part of the Thunderbolt's current being easily overpowered and imprisoned the Spectre at a point when his power showings were higher then during the follow up to Infinite Crisis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.206.51 (talk) 18:04, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Since this is one few logical ways to define Mxy's power, I think it's worth discussing. The latest addition claimed the Thunderbolt was overpowered by the Spectre because of Jakeem's wording, but it's clearly not the case. See JSA 74. Jakeem expressely ordered the Thunderbolt to send The Spectre to the fifth dimension, which he couldn't do. He was overpowered in this attempt, and instead he was the one sent to that dimension with Jakeem. Either fifth-dimension beings are as yet quite unelaborate or Spectre's powers are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.19.75.133 (talk) 23:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Through out the entirety of the Thunderbolt's career as a character the major plot points concerning him revolved around his wielder wording a wish wrong, causing an undesired effect. The Thunderbolt and his owner would then have to deal with said aftermath of the wrong wording, fixing it by the end of the comic. The Spectre is in most cases a nigh omnipotent being and has a vast control over magic; so if Jakeem did not word his command specifically for dealing with the Spectre, it would not mostly likely work. He just said to take the Spectre to the Fifth Dimension, not to overpower the Spectre before doing so or something similar.

Another possible explanation could be that since The Source wanted Infinite Crisis to occur so it could kill all the New Gods eventually, it overruled the Thunderbolt's power. The Source is one of the few entities in DC either shown or speculated to be more powerful than any denizen of the 5th Dimension. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.9.99 (talk) 01:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Alternate Dead Mxy
So in this weird Kingdom Come tie-in called 'The Kingdom', a Mxy from 2019 apparently gets slain by Gog. Of course, being Mxy, it could all be a big fake up. Interesting note. Lots42 (talk) 03:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, first off, the Mxyzptlk in that case was caught off guard by Gog. Second off, he's shown to be injured and fainting, not actually dying. Third off, it should be noted that the blast that caught him off guard had the combined power of the main GL Power Battery, The Source and the magic/divine power of both Shazam and Zeus. The fact that it takes that level of power to hurt him off guard is amazing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.206.51 (talk) 03:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

"Superman realizes that, for all his power, the Joker still cannot erase Batman, as the Joker defines himself by his constant opposition to the Dark Knight,"...

Mxyzptlk Name Origin Inspired From Roman Numeral Movie Copyright Dates?
Mental connection came from watching "Mystery Science Theater 3000" taunting "Starforce: Fugitive Alien 2". Movie Production Title + Roman Numeral Copyright Date: "A TSUBURAYA PRODUCTION LTD" "©MCMLXXXVI" Joel: "Mick-Mill-VixVee, he's the Scottish guy in charge of copyright." For example = MXV = 1015. Drop a line under the 'V' and it becomes "MIXY" when pronounced. Since there is no Y or P or T, guess would be "MXVCIDLIC" (with dropping a line down under the 'D' to make a 'P'). Logically this would not be likely with movie copyright CORRECTLY written out (MDCCC = 1800, MCM = 1900 , MM = 2000), but this is not the case with all movies. The trick would be finding the Roman Numeral Copyright goof date that equals or precedes the invention of Mr. Mxyzptlk (September 1944) given that this item would stick out greatly to any book editor and publisher. For example: (Source GOOGLE + IMDB + a few movie fanboards) Sunset Productions — A peculiar error is consistently seen on the copyright notices on Sunset Productions title cards, in which the copyright date is incorrectly rendered in Roman numerals as "MXM..." rather than the correct "MCM..." (i.e. MXMXLI for 1941). Most of the cartoons released by Warner Bros. in the 1939-40 release season (between January and July 1940) have the "MCMXXXX" instead of the proper "MCMXL." Only the last two Merrie Melodies of the season had the proper Roman numerals: Ghost Wanted and Ceiling Hero. All the 1940-41 season releases used the proper "MCMXL" up to and including Sniffles Bells the Cat (2/1/41), at which point we properly go to MCMXLI, and so forth until MCMXLIV for 1944. Let us not forget about the peculiar-looking "MXM" mishap used on Sunset Productions reissues of the grayscale Looney Tunes and the non-Harman/Ising Merrie Melodies. Like MXMXLI for 1941, or MXMXXXVII for 1937. - LooneyLover81; 09-26-2011 (On the Goldenagecartoons.com message forum) Flipper (1963) - Movie Goof (miscellaneous): The roman numeral copyright date at the end of the movie shows MCMXLIII which would be 1943. For 1963 it should be MCMLXIII. Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)— During the opening credits, the show's copyright date is shown in Roman numerals as MCLXIV. In Arabic numbers, that's 1164 - it should have been MCMLXIV for 1964. Chained Girls (1965)— The Roman numeral copyright date at the start of the movie is wrong. It says MCLXV(1165) when it should be MCMLXV(1965) Mad Dog Morgan (1976)— The end credits show the copyright date in roman numerals that is incorrect. They are displayed as MCMDXXVI, but for 1976 they should be MCMLXXVI. "Knight Rider" (1982)— (TV series) The copyright date at the end of the credits on the first (pilot) episode shows the roman numerals MCMLXXVII (1977) instead of MCMLXXXII (1982). The Three Musketeers (1993)— The copyright date (in Roman numerals) is incorrect in the end credits (it is missing an 'M'). The film shows (c) MCXCIII (1193) when it should read (c) MCMXCIII (1993). You should note that "MXMXLI" = "Mix-Ixli" is not much of a stretch to ©MXYZPTLK (Paul Penna, 05-15-2011 - On the Goldenagecartoons.com message forum)24.247.218.173 (talk) 13:20, 4 January 2012 (UTC) User Gridlock on Jan 4, 2012 08:21

Something the main article doesn't address is that after Superman married Lois Lane, Mxyzptlk's attitude softened--apparently he didn't like to attack families. He became the "weird relative" whose visits you occasionally have to put up with.

Chilean cruiser Chacabuco (1898)

The Chilean cruiser Chacabuco was a protected cruiser of the Chilean Navy. Built at the end of the 19th Century, the Chacabuco had a remarkably long and varied career spanning nearly half a century.

History
The Chacabuco was built as a private venture by Armstrong Whitworth to a typical Elswick cruiser design, and was launched on 4 July 1898, under the provisional name of Fourth of July; she was acquired by Chile in 1902, just before the end of the Argentine–Chilean naval arms race. The Imperial Japanese Navy cruiser Takasago was the sister ship of the Chacabuco.

During her lengthy career the Chacabuco performed numerous tasks: apart from routine patrol and hydrographic duties, she was notable for her role in maintaining order in the aftermath of the 1906 Valparaíso earthquake; her involvement in the Santa María School massacre in 1907; her visit to Britain for the fleet review to mark the coronation of King George V in 1911; and her relief effort to the victims of the 1922 Vallenar earthquake. The Chacabuco was put into reserve in 1928.

In 1941, as Chile strove to maintain its neutrality during World War II, the Chacabuco was brought out of reserve despite her age: by then there were no other cruisers available to the Chilean Navy. She underwent modernization, with her armament changed to six 6 inch/50 guns and ten 20 mm anti-aircraft guns. Thereafter she served as the flagship of the Chilean Navy on several occasions, before becoming a midshipmen training cruiser from 1949 to 1950.

The Chacabuco went out of service in December 1950; she was struck on 15 December 1959, and was sold to the Compañía de Acero del Pacífico for scrapping.

Trial practice

Trial practice is an upper-level course offered in most American law schools designed to teach future litigators the fine points of presenting a case to a judge and jury. Unlike most law school courses, a trial practice class has very little discussion of substantive law, and is focused on the practical application of public speaking, narrative, and using body language to communicate a particular set of events to the triers of fact. Trial practice also contains elements of strategy, teaching students how to decide the order in which witnesses should testify, when exhibits should be introduced, and how to trap opposing witnesses into giving testimony that damages their side.

Evidence is the area of substantive law most reinforced by a trial practice course, with students learning how to apply evidence law in a real-life setting, including learning when they can object to questions asked of witnesses, what objections to raise, and how to effectively present objections.

Trial practice courses may have a classroom component. Also, trial practice courses will usually have an ongoing "lab" component where an attorney will instruct a small group of students on trial skills and assist them in honing their craft. Often, students practice against one another in mock trials throughout the course; for example, students may be divided into groups of 4, with each group containing two teams who practice against one another in mock trials.

Rather than a final exam, the course may culminate in a mock trial with volunteer "witnesses".

Application domain

An application domain is a mechanism (similar to a process in an operating system) used within the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) to isolate executed software applications from one another so that they do not affect each other. Each application domain has its own virtual address space which scopes the resources for the application domain using that address space.

Creating multiple application domains in the same process is not possible in .NET Core and .NET 5+.

Properties
A CLI application domain is contained within an operating system process. A process may contain many application domains. Application domains have isolation properties similar to that of operating system processes:
 * Multiple threads can exist within a single application domain.
 * An application within a domain can be stopped without affecting the state of another domain in the same process.
 * A fault or exception in one domain does not affect an application in another domain or crash the entire process that hosts the domains.
 * Configuration information is part of a domain's scope, not the scope of the process.
 * Each domain can be assigned different security access levels.
 * Code in one domain cannot directly access code in another.

In this sense, a CLI is like a mini-operating system. It runs a single process that contains a number of sub-processes, or application domains.

The advantage of application domains is that running multiple application domains may require fewer resources, such as memory, than running multiple operating system processes. Communication between domains still requires marshalling, so the overheads can be closer to using multiple processes than to communicating within a single domain.

Inter-domain communications
Direct communication cannot be achieved across application domains. However, application domains can still talk to each other by passing objects via marshalling by value (unbound objects), marshalling by reference through a proxy (application-domain-bound objects). There is a third type of object called a context-bound object which can be marshalled by reference across domains and also within the context of its own application domain. Because of the verifiable type-safety of managed code, a CLI can provide fault isolation between domains at a much lower cost than an operating system process can. The static type verification used for isolation does not require the same process switches or hardware ring transitions that an operating system process requires.

Managed code
Application domains are a purely managed code concept. Any included native/unmanaged code (e.g., C++) is largely unaware of them. Static variables seem to be shared across domains, callbacks can be problematic, and any memory corruption bugs in one domain is likely to corrupt other domains.

Camp Red Cloud

Camp Red Cloud (CRC, 캠프 레드 클라우드) was a United States Army camp located in the city of Uijeongbu, between Seoul and the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). CRC was transferred to the South Korean government in February 2022. The installation was renamed after Medal of Honor recipient Corporal Mitchell Red Cloud Jr. on Armed Forces Day, May 18, 1957 from its earlier name of Camp Jackson (which continues as the name of another post just south of CRC).

The tenant units moved to Camp Humphreys in South Korea during 2018.

Geography
Camp Red Cloud covered over 164 acre of land in the northwestern edge of the city of Uijeongbu and served as the Headquarters of 2nd Infantry Division (United States).

Camp Red Cloud was the home of several military units including,:
 * 55th MP Company
 * United States Air Force Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) unit (604th Air Support Operations Squadron)
 * U.S. Army explosive ordnance disposal detachment (late 1990s)
 * 501st Corps Support Group (CSG)
 * Division command staff
 * Hospital staff
 * Finance staff
 * ROK/KATUSA headquarters

History
D-company, HQ-company, and the 122d Signal Battalion were retired in 2005, and the remaining soldiers formed the new Division Special Troops Battalion (STB), now the largest unit on the camp. It is a support battalion made up of A CO, and B CO (signal companies), HHSC (division headquarters company), and 2X (division administrative company). The 2nd Infantry Division Band was inactivated in August 2015.

In the summer of 1998, the region of South Korea where CRC lies was subjected to severe rains that caused deadly flooding and damage to CRC. Three US service members lost their lives during the floods, as well as many Korean nationals and domestic livestock who perished in the flood waters. A large portion of the hill behind CRC washed away. A massive mudslide devastated the southern half of CRC. For weeks, Camp Red Cloud went without a main PX as it was destroyed by the floods. Several barracks (officer quarters) were leveled in the destruction along with the golf Pro Shop located adjacent to the helipad. The 2ID museum also suffered severe damage in the torrent of mud and water.

Camp Red Cloud has been the site of various protests and demonstrations against the US presence in Korea. The largest such protest was in 2002 when Korean protesters tossed Molotov cocktails and cut holes in the fences around the post. This demonstration was in reaction to the Yangju highway incident in which a US military vehicle had run over two school girls. Fences around the post have since been replaced with concrete walls.

Camp Red Cloud conducted a deactivation ceremony in June 2018, one of the first steps for turning the area over to the Republic of Korea Army, with Freeman Hall, the 2nd Infantry Division headquarters building, officially closing in October of that year. The final transfer will happen sometime in 2019. The 2nd Infantry Division historical museum is scheduled to be moved to area III on Camp Humphreys.

Proposed future uses
Shin Sang-ho, a South Korean ceramist and Chairman of the Camp Red Cloud Design Cluster Creation Working Group, has been working with government officials to convert the area. The proposal is for a multi-use cultural space for galleries, artist residences, a school for design and art research, and location to host art fairs.

I found a video that has Babe Ruth explaining that he called the shot!!
One of the disputes is if Babe Ruth pointed to the field. And from the 16 MM film it seems like he might not have pointed to the field. But in a short film that I found on you tube, the Babe himself, in a good quality film, tells that he was telling the people in the dugout that he would hit a home run. So he didnt point maybe, maybe, but he might have called the shot still. And I think that video should be used here as a link. I found it on you tube. Here is the link then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLhV72is82A&feature=related 71.105.87.54 (talk) 05:12, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I've seen portions of that short film before, particularly the part where he's in the radio studio conducting the song. The film shows Ruth's natural flair for acting, or at least being comfortable in front of the camera. The narration of the 1932 homer has appeared in various places, including actual film footage of the home run. The clips shown in this film were partly recreations and partly stock footage of Ruth; they were not not the actual 1932 homer. →Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 05:57, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey thank's for allowing the link and edit that I put then. If it's ok I moved the edit a little higher in the article and made some minor edits. And well I think most of what I edited had to do with what I added so the. 71.105.87.54 (talk) 20:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I was trying to tell you here, in a gentle way, that the quote is just part of a script in a short (fictional) film and that what you wrote is speculation and is really not appropriate. →Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 23:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

 * So if its a script or not, does it make a difference? I mean its still the Babe himself telling what happened. I mean if its a script, he wo uld have to agree to what he was going to say. If they asked him to say Aliens called the shot i dont know if he would agree to the script. But maybe they asked him to just tell what happened. Script or not, its still him descrging what happened. Maybe its true. Maybe its not. Maybe its made up. Maybe its partly true. BUt its still significant isnt it? I mean I understand if its speculation. But their are other things in this article that could be speculation cus their not all sourced. I mean this article gives both sides of the story and has some people wonder if its true or not. So this video might give people a better idea or wonder then? Are you saying you dont want the youtube link thier? 71.105.87.54 (talk) 20:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

 * It's Ruth (or the scriptwriter) spinning a fanciful tale. I've seen Ruth quoted as saying that only a fool would actually stand there at home plate and predict a home run. →Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 23:26, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment though this is now a five year old thread - We can use Ruth's quotes as long as we make it clear it's Ruth being quoted and the context. The factual part will be that Ruth is saying after the fact "I called the shot" or "only a fool would actually stand there at home plate and predict a home run". In either case, the quotes can be in the article as long they are well sourced and via a WP:RS. By 1948, when Ruth wrote his biography with Bob Considine, he was sticking to the "I called the shot" version of the event. --Marc Kupper|talk 21:30, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

The external links were broken. The external link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLhV72is82A&feature=related) that started this post is a private video, and the other one (http://chicagosidesports.com/making-a-point-did-babe-ruth-call-his-shot/) is to a suspended account, so I added the link to the official MLB.com link, which does work. It has the advantage of quotes, including Ruth himself.Catrachos Catrachos (talk) 15:27, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Excised paragraph
''While passing Gehrig on his way back to the Yankees dugout, Ruth, who was feuding with Gehrig at the time, challenged him to "hit one of the those." Gehrig replied "No problem" and proceeded to hit a home run himself. In a way, Gehrig called his shot too, just not in the same manner as Ruth.''

Removed this as it looks like it was stuck on with insufficient thought. It's out of order in the chronology, sounds fanciful, and there is no citation. Do what you will with it. Stevage 00:58, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Is there another film of Ruth pointing?
Several decades ago, probably in the 1960s, I remember seeing an issue of the Sporting News which had a photograph, probably a still from a film, showing Ruth pointing. The vantage point was from the stands behind home plate and I think he was pointing in the direction of the pitcher's mound and center field. It's the same gesture as in the photo in the Wikipedia article but from a different angle. I have not been able to find a reference to this on the Internet but perhaps some researcher can find it in old issues of the Sporting News. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.73.31.50 (talk) 20:47, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

To my mind the film supports it, and the testimony of Pat Pieper seals it. He called the shot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.211.203 (talk) 17:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you mean this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkEX0eb2eBo?t=96 If so, note that the blurry figure that's supposed to be Ruth is raising both hands forming a Y shape. Maikel (talk) 12:07, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Added Citations
Added two citations to prove that Babe Ruth called the shot, and cited them in the article. Cgord14 (talk) 01:37, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Which inning?
The lede says "Babe Ruth's called shot was the home run hit by Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees in the fifth inning of Game 3 of the 1932 World Series..." but the article (The Facts and the Dispute) says "With the score tied 4-4 in the 9th inning of game three, he took strike one from Root." So, which inning was it? SlowJog (talk) 00:03, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Lingo
Some questions on the term "called shot" or "to call a shot":
 * In baseball, is a ball that's been hit by the batter generally called a "shot"?
 * What exactly does "called" mean in baseball context, and especially in this context? "Predicted"? Merriam-Webster also gives the baseball-specific meanings of "to halt (something, such as a baseball game) because of unsuitable conditions" and "to rule on the status of (a pitched ball, a player's action, etc.)"?
 * Thence, is to "call a shot" really a baseball-specific term? Did it come out of the phrase of speech "to call the shots" or out of another context?

Thanks, Maikel (talk) 16:00, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, in "The called shot particularly irked Root. He [...] would be forever remembered as the pitcher who gave up the "called shot"". What is meant by giving up? Thank you, Maikel (talk) 08:49, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Spondee

No article entitled "Spondee"
? On my screen, I see a notice that there is no article entitled "spondee" - yet this is the discussion page of the "spondee" article!

Well, there is now -- Nat 16:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

A Poor Example
The article tries hard, but can't someone come up with an example that doesn't have to introduced with 'This is, unfortunately, a poor example'!?

Isn't the prologue in Romeo and Juliet spondaic?

 * Answer to your first question: it doesn't say that it's poor, just that it's difficult. Difficult in the sense of "complex to explain" not in the sense "not illustrating the matter well. I think it's a very good example; also that its difficulty (=intricacy) gives way to an informative and interesting account of how this metre functions. The word "unfortunately" should probably be removed; the author was apparently being modest.

The Prologue to Romeo and Juliet
Isn't the prologue in Romeo and Juliet spondaic? I don't know. Let's have a look:

I get:

Two households, both alike in dignity, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

 * To be fair, most people (unencumbered by poetic theory) would probably read it as: stressed, trochee, trochee, trochee, dactyl. That begins with with two stressed syllables, which likes a spondee. The problem is that it's hard to draw a line between two stresses being used as one and as two feet. (The example being used works well by sticking three stresses in a row, to leave no ambiguity.)

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, iamb, iamb, iamb, stressed, stressed, stressed, dactyl.

 * You've got some extra syllables somewhere, and you appear to be stressing "to" (!): iamb, iamb, stressed, iamb, dactyl

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

Whole misadventured piteous overthrows iamb, iamb, iamb, (pit-yis) iamb, iamb.

 * I think the natural spacing in spoken English yields: iamb (or trochee), amphibrach (u-s-u) (or anapest + unstressed), trochee, trochee, stressed (or a cretic replacing the last two). You would say the "yis" of "pit-yis" together with the "pit", not with the following "ov".

Do with their death bury their parents' strife. iamb, iamb, spondee, iamb, iamb.

 * Naahhh. Trochee, iamb, trochee, iamb, iamb. (feel that nice inverted parabola, that choriamb: DAH-duh-duh-DAH; pause; then repeat.)

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

 * No, here's the spondee we've all been eagerly awaiting: amphibrach, trochee, anapest, spondee (Hold back all the stresses for a long buildup . . ., then let go with "Death-marked love", big solid emphasis all the way through, DAH-DAH-DAH.) Perhaps, rather: amphibrach, trochee, pyrrhic (u-u), spondee, stress (to get five feet).

And the continuance of their parents' rage, iamb, iamb, (?)iamb, iamb, iamb.

 * "and THE"? No, if anything "AND the": trochee, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

 * change numbers one and four to trochees. Choriamb, iamb, choriamb

Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

The which if you with patient ears attend, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb, iamb.

So, on the whole, no: it isn't spondaic but iambic, as one might expect. Nat 16:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, sure, but in a more complex way.

Bold text=== A better example? ===

How about:

Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise the everlasting King!

Seven spondees in a row? Or three trochees in the last line? Are you allowed to choose? When I sung this last line at school, it seems to me we sumg them as spondees, but one could choose to recite them as trochees.

Nat 15:41, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

 * You can't go by singing: music shuffles all the emphases around. (That's why rock musicians write such terrible poetry: they're used to writing lyrics where the music can justify otherwise idiotic stress arrangements.) Consider the difference between reading and singing the hymn of the poem Jerusalem by William Blake.

 * I think a simpler example might be in Tennyson's In Memoriam, number 50:

 * Be near me when my light is low,

 * When the blood creeps and the nerves prick

 * And tingle; and the heart is sick,

 * And all the wheels of Being slow.

 * Blowery 23:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmm, just reading through my Tennyson again, and I think I found another. It's in Ulysses; I mark it thus:

 * Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfil
 * This labour, by slow prudence to make mild
 * A rugged people, and thro' soft degrees
 * Subdue them to the useful and the good.

 * At least three spondees in two lines, maybe four if you stress "This," which wouldn't be unreasonable. Also, four pyrrhics if I count correctly.
 * I'll have to read some of his stuff again; he seems rather fond of pyrrhic and spondaic substitutions.
 * Blowery 23:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Another possibility, this time from Longfellow's A Psalm of Life. The poem is otherwise pretty much strictly trochaic, possibly with a few iambic substitutions, but I found a spondee in the sixth stanza:

 * Trust no future, howe'er pleasant!
 * Let the dead Past bury its dead!
 * Act, - act in the living Present!
 * Heart within and God o'erhead!

 * I guess "Act, - act" could also be one, but "dead Past" is pretty obvious; if you say them with unequal stress, they sound completely ridiculous.
 * Blowery 23:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Amphimacer
Spondee isn't the only foot with two long syllables! What about Amphimacer? 70.19.207.242 01:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Good point. Gingermint (talk) 05:29, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Molossus?
The introduction to this article states that the spondee is the only example in English verse of a metrical foot with only stressed syllables. What about the molossus, the ternary foot of three stresses? This is found specifically in "To Sit in Solemn Silence," by W.S. Gilbert:

_  /  _   /  _   /  _   _  _  /    /    /

To sit in solemn silence in a dull dark dock,

_ _  /  _  /  _   /  _    _   _  /    /    /

In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,

_ /  _  _(/) _  /  _  _  _   /      /     /

Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,

_   _  /     _   /  _   /  _   _  _  /    /     /

From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!

Blowery 18:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Are those last three syllables functioning as a single foot? To my ear, which admittedly isn't well, trained, they don't seem to be. It's necessary to distinguish between a single three-syllable foot and three one-syllable feet.

 * I'm fairly certain that this is a true molossus. The poem, when read aloud, has a chant-like quality.  The pauses that you hear are naturally going to occur with three stresses in a row, not to mention with alliteration thrown in.  However, I think to divide meter to the point where you have "single-syllable" feet is generally a mistake; if you get this far, there's probably a better way to do it.  Sure, syllables can stand alone, but they are generally attached to some other foot, possibly as an add-on to an iamb or trochee.  Even then, one could make a legitimate argument that they are in fact three-syllable amphibrachs or amphimacers, respectively.  Granted, metrical divisions, especially when examining odd meters, are ultimately subjective in nature, but I think this one is a genuine molossus.  Even if it weren't, the fact remains that the molossus is a legitimate ternary foot with three stresses, and thus the spondee is not the only foot with only stressed syllables.  There is even, technically, a quarternary foot called the dispondee, with four stresses, but I think it makes more sense in that case to stick to binary divisions and simply call it what its name implies: two spondees.  But the point is, the spondee is not exclusive in this regard. Blowery 14:43, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikiskot (talk) 13:11, 20 May 2013 (UTC) To me this is iambic hexameter that goes spondaic in the last foot (and sometimes anapestic in the first).

Wikiskot (talk) 18:03, 20 May 2013 (UTC) Or: primus paeon, primus paeon, molossus, with one or two unstressed syllables allowed as lead-in...?

No poems entirely in spondees
"It is unrealistic to construct a whole, serious poem with spondees, except in languages like Chinese " What about "The Tyger" of Blake ?

Tyger Tyger burning bright, / _   / _    /   _    /  => spondees In the forests of the night; /   _  /  _   /    _  / => spondees What immortal hand or eye / _  /  _   /    _ / => spondees Could frame thy fearful symmetry? _     /     _   /   _  /  _ /  => iambs In what distant deeps or skies. /   _   /   _   /    _    /    => spondees Burnt the fire of thine eyes? /     _  / _  /   _    /      => spondees On what wings dare he aspire? /   _   /     _    /  _  / (_) => spondees What the hand, dare sieze the fire? /     _  /     _    /      _  /  => spondees And what shoulder, & what art, /    _    /     _ /   _  /    => spondees Could twist the sinews of thy heart? _      /    _   /  _   /  _   /   => iambs And when thy heart began to beat. _    /    _   /    _  /   _  /    => iambs What dread hand? & what dread feet? /    /      /  || _  /     /     / =>  molussus ? (which you say do not exist in english) + iamb + spondee What the hammer? what the chain, /     _  /   _   /     _   /  => spondees In what furnace was thy brain? /  _    /  _    /   _     /   => spondees What the anvil? what dread grasp. /   _   /   _  /     /     /   => spondee + molossus ? Dare its deadly terrors clasp! /     _   /  _  /   _    /    => spondees

When the stars threw down their spears /     _   /    _      /    _      /  => spondees And water'd heaven with their tears: _   /   _   /   _  /     _     /  => iambs Did he smile his work to see? /  _    / (_)_   /   _   /   => spondees Did he who made the Lamb make thee? _  /   _   /     _  /    _     /  => iambs Tyger Tyger burning bright, / _   / _    /   _    /  => spondees In the forests of the night; /   _  /  _   /    _  / => spondees What immortal hand or eye. / _  /  _   /    _ / => spondees Could frame thy fearful symmetry? _     /     _   /   _  /  _ /  => iambs

I think we can consider this as being a poem written in spondees, no ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidtsm (talk • contribs) 16:41, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikiskot (talk) 13:37, 20 May 2013 (UTC) I think you're confusing spondee ( ¯ ¯ ) with trochee ( ¯ ˘ ). But this meter isn't truly trochaic either. A genuine trochaic line would end with unstressed syllable, eg "Tyger Tyger burning brightly." But "Tyger Tyger burning bright" is ambiguous: is it a trochaic line with its final syllable missing or an iambic with its first syllable missing? There are 6 true iambic lines in the poem, which argues for the latter analysis, but probably the right way to think about it is that this is a mutant meter of Blake's own invention in which most lines start with a strong trochaic feeling but end iambically.

Wikiskot (talk) 13:55, 20 May 2013 (UTC) Actually I just thought of another example of this meter: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Clearly this a pattern that satisfies the ear although it causes problems for the hapless prosodist trying to identify feet. If I had to choose I would call it a modified iambic, since iambic is more prevalent in English generally, and cheating on the first syllable is common practice.

Fee fi fo fum
Would chants like ''Two! Four! Six! Eight! (Who do we appreciate?) and Fee! Fi! Fo! Fum!'' count as spondees? Even though they are not poems, they might help people understand the concept. The rhythm here is the same as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with the unstressed syllables omitted. — Soap — 22:54, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Contact force

this is a really gay site as it doesn't actualy tell you what the forces that classify under "contact forces" are.

 * This kind of language should not be allowed on this site.

 * This is hardly a scientific definition. Contact forces consist of sever forces, not just normal and friction.--Erik the guy 07:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC) Elastic potential energy (EPE) is one of the many forces there are other forces like Friction, Magnetism, Electrostatic and Gravity. These force are needed in everyday life

 * Electric and magnetic forces, like gravitational forces, are long-range forces, i.e., not contact forces. Elastic potential energy is not a force and represents the capacity for doing work on an object.

this page really needs editing so that us kids and adults can find examples of contact forces without getting fustrated,some of us might have homework on it and this web site is a poor show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.72.173 (talk) 16:16, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

force is a push or pull upon an objects resulting from the interaction of an object with another object. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.93.84.20 (talk) 12:45, 2 September 2010 (UTC) rashmika

Talk:Armbar

Armbar means more than simply juji-gatame. If you don't agree with this, let's discuss it.
 * "Armlock", a lock of the arm, refers to arm-related joint locks, including the armbar. "Armbar", or arm shaped like a bar, implies the straight arm variant and thus can not refer to bent-arm locks. Some feedbacks by MMA users: "I always taught, Armbar = Juji, Armlock =Joint lock attacking the arm". "an armbar is an armlock, but so are locks that attack the elbow from other positions (ex. with the legs from scarfhold) but they wont be armbars." Shawnc 01:39, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

1984 NHL entry draft

The 1984 NHL Entry Draft was the 22nd NHL Entry Draft. It took place on June 9, 1984, at the Montreal Forum in Montreal, Quebec.

The 1984 Entry Draft is noted for the unusually high number of future Hall of Famers picked, particularly in lower rounds. In addition to Mario Lemieux being taken first overall, Patrick Roy was chosen in the third round, Brett Hull in the sixth, and Luc Robitaille in the ninth. In addition, Lemieux, Gary Suter and Robitaille would all go on to win the Calder Memorial Trophy, Lemieux in 1985, Suter in 1986, and Robitaille in 1987, making this a rare draft in which multiple Rookie of the Year winners were produced.

The surprise at the time of the draft was Montreal's selection of Petr Svoboda at fifth-overall. As a player trained behind the Iron Curtain, very few people expected him to be available for selection in the draft, let alone be actually attending the draft and coming to the podium when his name was announced, as he had only recently defected to West Germany following the 1984 WJHC (only Serge Savard, the then-GM of the Canadiens, had been aware of Svoboda's defection).

In addition to Svoboda, of note is that Tom Glavine, playing centre in high school, who later became a star Major League Baseball pitcher with more than 300 career wins, as well as a 2014 inductee of the Baseball Hall of Fame was chosen in the fourth round (69th overall) by the Los Angeles Kings, ahead of notable players such as future Hall of Famers Brett Hull (117th overall), and Luc Robitaille (171st overall).

The Montreal Canadiens, with their last pick, drafted Troy Crosby, the father of Sidney Crosby.

The last active player in the NHL from this draft class was Gary Roberts, who retired after the 2008–09 season.

I am a bit annoyed, exactly what mistakes were made in this article? what is the confusing part? One thing I notice about the current edit is that the mathematical symbols in the text do no longer correspond to the symbols in the math parts see for instance difference in x's as the number of segments. On my screen the volume fractions appear as little squares and I would prefer sticking to the in line math symbols as in $$\phi_2\,$$. What are your thoughts on this V8rik 22:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi
I notice that you seem to be active in math and physics. I invite you to join the discussions in WikiProject Mathematics and WikiProject Physics. -- linas 03:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

welcome
Thank you for improving Wikipedia.

Forgive my nit-picking, but one edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Second_law_of_thermodynamics&diff=next&oldid=32701760 doesn't make sense to me. It looks like you were interrupted right in the middle of a sentence.

You may be interested in the 2 links at the bottom of the entropy article claim that "entropy is simple".

I hope that someday, people will finally figure out some really good way of explaining these and other often-misunderstood topics -- a way that is both accurate *and* easy to understand.

Tsallis entropy
I took a look at your sandbox where you mentioned Shannon-Jaynes uncertainty and now I am wondering...are you familiar with the tsallis entropy? Also, you might be interested in WikiProject Polymers too. See you around! --HappyCamper 05:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Chemical thermodynamics
I have been waiting for ages for something like that to show up on Wikipedia! Thanks for writing that :-) --HappyCamper 16:02, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * This does indeed look promising. The Chemical thermodynamics article should not redirect to Thermochemistry. However, I note that on HappyCamper's talk page you state "I'm also including material seldom available in textbooks, including my own reformulations". This might be good stuff, but you can not do it - see No original research, unless of course your own reformations have been published somewhere with peer review. Regards from another old chemist. --Bduke 20:52, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I saw your page that day when I was getting ready to block someone for vandalism while monitoring Special:Recentchanges. Actually, I couldn't help but smile a little bit when I read your article...the material feels right at home, as do the references. I have a colleague who also likes to present those topics in a similar manner. On another notes, I think you're doing just fine with your contributions here. I have an area you might want to look into though, and that is Template namespace. Take a look at some examples on my user page - it's still work in progress, but I've found that they can help tremendously with organization of related topics. --HappyCamper 04:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Categories & working copies
Hi - David, you have been doing some great work. One small problem, if you check Category:Thermodynamics down toward the end you will find your sandbox/workpages listed. Could you remove the categories from your sandbox pages working copies? Another user has called this to my atttention - I don't see it as a big thing, just a bit of a distraction to be fixed. Or if you are finished with the workpages I or another admin can delete them for you - personally I prefer to just blank and reuse my working copies (although I still have some old stuff just sitting there.) Thanks, Vsmith 00:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, User:David Shear/Flory-Huggins is gone - I'll let you remove the now red link from your user page. Anytime you want one gone just ask. Cheers, Vsmith 02:43, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Cajal photo in Scientist
Hi! Sorry to take a while responding to your email on this--I haven't been paying very close attention to my Gmail acount recently. Firstly, I didn't remove the Curie image from the article, someone else did. I did remove the Cajal image, and I have done so again. My reason for this is that that image was uploaded to wikipedia under a claim of fair use. Whilst there may be a (dubious) claim to fair use of that image in the article on Cajal, there is no fair use rationale for its use in the Scientist article. JeremyA 21:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I just happened by as I saw your post on HappyCampers page. It's a shocking thing at first, but snooping is pretty much expected around here. I've just asked a legal expert on the above assertion which seems illogical to my feeble mind. He does legal work for the foundation and Jimbo Wales and helped me out on a copyright matter as well.

 * I took a peek in your CT article, since that's what caught my attention on HC's page, and would like to offer to vet it for you when you get it ready to replace that redirect page. My concerns are not with content per se but presentation viz a viz WP:MOS, and especially with the Intro/summary. That is, I would be willing to 'dumb down' the intro (That generally means using three sentences for one and introducing a few even more basic terms or chains of thought) for the general audience. By that, I mean the article proper can be plenty technical, but the intro needs to be written so a sharp 12-13 y.o. can at least get a sense of what it's about. Starting right in on degrees of freedom didn't seem to accomplish that— that customer hasn't the basic math or science to follow such references. I seem to have to do that fairly often, without much friction on it either. Alas, I never did get a chemistry degree—it was my major for two years —as I switched to engineering and had to settle for thermodynamics in that ciricula.
 * Just looked at the Entropy of Mixing, and that reads quite nicely... as well as being more complete. I'd submit the first sentence needs a little reformulation, but nothing major. Fra nkB 07:49, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I got an legal opinion cross-posted: Image talk:Cajal.gif. Grumble, grumble. Guess you can find some other scientist in the PD domain -- say on NASA sites.

message found on thermodynamic variables page
I am trying to contact David Shear. If Professor Shear reads this: My name is Jeri Burn and I just acquired a 1972 yellow Beetle that you bought in 1972 and sold in 1985. You kept meticulous records and I have the notebook that you kept. Very impressive! I would love to talk to you and send you some photos of the Bug. jeriburn@netzero.com

Chemical thermodynamics
I put most of your chemical thermodynamics writing into the chemical thermodynamics article. If you would like to contribute more there, please do so.--Sadi Carnot 00:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

David Shear thank you for your time editing here, and thank you for everything. I never knew you but I want to pay my respects to all the deceased Wikipedians. Joey (talk) 01:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
