Disputed
This article is dreadful. The only citation is to a blog, and most of the 'facts' are dubious at best. Matt J User|Talk 23:12, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I dont see how it can be saved. There just isnt sourcing available.  Even a "book" available from Amazon that mentions the subject is simply a compendium of Wikipedia articles.  This is original research at best and just plain made up at worst.  Prod'd it this morning.  Since it's linked from reddit.com now, I suspect someone will remove the prod seeing it as a way to support their favorite cereal, but let's see if Wikipedia procedure can move along anyway.--RadioFan (talk) 12:20, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

For what it's worth, it doesn't seem mathematically possible for the cereal to have 21.52g of carbohydrates, 9.95g of fat, and 12.8g of protein in a 27g serving, seeing as how carbohydrates, fat, and protein are mutually exclusive. Perhaps the nutritional information should be dropped if the real numbers can't be verified? 108.67.22.244 (talk) 04:36, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Cecilia (Ace of Base song)

"Cecilia" is a song from Ace of Base's third record titled Flowers. It was released as a single in Italy and Spain in the spring of 1999. The song was written as a continuation of the song of the same name by Simon & Garfunkel. A standard disc single was never made commercially available, however, a 12" vinyl record was released in Italy featuring previously unreleased remixes. The song was released promotionally in Spain alongside "Travel To Romantis".

Critical reception
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet picked "Cecilia" as one of Ace of Base's songs "that are going to be hits". Quentin Harrison of Albumism said in his retrospective review of Flowers, that the band "construct whole worlds of ennui and escapism for listeners to experience" via songs like "Cecilia". He also noted that the song "boldly picks up where the Simon & Garfunkel tune of the same name left off in 1970, continuing her character arc. The track is also a show-stopping number for Jenny as she handles the principal vocal." Chuck Campbell from The Daily News described it as "an instantly infectious" song "that briliantly [sic] blends a horn section, a string section and a rubbery electronic rhythm."

Palazzina di caccia of Stupinigi

The Palazzina di caccia of Stupinigi (Italian for 'hunting residence' of Stupinigi) is one of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy in the Metropolitan City of Turin in northern Italy, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list. Built as a royal hunting lodge in the early 18th century, it is located in Stupinigi, a suburb of the town of Nichelino, 10 km southwest of Turin.

History
The original castle was owned until 1418 by the Acaja line of the House of Savoy, Lords of Piedmont, and it was sold to marquis Rolando Pallavicino in 1493. It was then acquired by Emmanuel Philibert in 1563, when the ducal capital was moved from Chambéry to Turin. The new palace was designed by the architect Filippo Juvarra to be used as a palazzina di caccia ('hunting residence') for Victor Amadeus II, King of Sardinia. Works started in 1729. Within two years, construction was far enough advanced for the first formal hunt to take place in 1731.

Juvarra called upon a team of decorators, many of them from Venice, to carry out the decor of the interiors. During the reigns of Charles Emmanuel III and Victor Amadeus III, the palazzina and its formal park continued to be extended, at first by Juvarra's assistant, Giovanni Tommaso Prunotto, then by numerous North Italian architects, such as Ignazio Birago di Borgaro, Ludovico Bo, Ignazio Bertola and Benedetto Alfieri. The final building has a total of 137 rooms and 17 galleries, and covers 31,050 square meters. Polissena of Hesse-Rotenburg, wife of Charles Emmanuel III, also carried out improvements.

The original purpose of the hunting lodge is symbolized by the bronze stag perched at the apex of the stepped roof of its central dome, and the hounds' heads that decorate the vases on the roofline. The building has a saltire plan – four angled wings project from the oval-shaped main hall. The extensions resulted in separate pavilions linked by long angled galleries and a long octagonal forecourt enclosed by wings, extended forwards in two further entrance courts.

Stupinigi was the preferred building to be used for celebrations and dynastic weddings by members of the House of Savoy. Here, in 1773, Princess Maria Theresa of Savoy, married Charles Philippe, Count of Artois, brother of Louis XVI and the future Charles X of France.

Today, the Palace of Stupinigi houses the Museo di Arte e Ammobiliamento, a museum of the arts and furnishings, some original to the palazzina, others brought from the former Savoy family residences of Moncalieri Castle and the Palace of Venaria. Stupinigi has the most important collection of Piedmontese furniture, including works by Turin's three most famous Royal cabinet-makers – Giuseppe Maria Bonzanigo, Pietro Piffetti and Luigi Prinotti. Some of the sculptures of hunting figures are by Giovanni Battista Bernero. Additionally, temporary exhibitions are held in its galleries, such as the Mostra del Barocco (1963).

Anna Caterina Gilli was active as a decorative painter at the palace.

Description
The plan of the building is defined by the four arms of St. Andrew's Cross, divided by the central axis that is aligned with the path that leads from Turin to the palace through a tree-lined avenue that runs alongside farms and stables and other old dependencies of the building.

The core nucleus consists of a large central oval hall from which the four wings depart, which the royal apartments and those for guests. The large double-height oval hall with balconies concave-convex, is covered by dome surmounted by the statue of the "Cervo", by Francesco Ladatte. With the departure of Juvarra from Turin, King Charles Emmanuel III entrusted the direction of the work to Giovanni Tommaso Prunotto, who provided for the expansion of the building starting from the sketches left by Juvarra, thus trying to safeguard the complex play of lights and shapes. The interior is in Italian Rococo, made of precious materials such as lacquers, porcelains, gilded stuccos, mirrors and roots that today extend on an area of about 31,000 square meters, while 14,000 are occupied by adjacent buildings, 150,000 by the park and 3,800 by the external flowerbeds; Overall, there are 137 rooms and 17 galleries. Among the fine furniture made for the building should be mentioned those of the carver Giuseppe Maria Bonzanigo, Pietro Piffetti and Luigi Prinotto. The building preserves decorations by the Venetian painters Giuseppe and Domenico Valeriani, by Gaetano Perego, and by the Viennese Christan Wehrlin. The frescoes by Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli, Gian Battista Crosato and Carlo Andrea Van Loo are also noteworthy.

Entrance
The entrance to the complex gives access to the vast area of the Galleria dei Ritratti (Portrait Gallery) which was part of the side stables designed and built by Filippo Juvarra after the completion of the central complex of the building. This space was therefore used for the carriages and coaches and to house horses during the hunts. Here today stands the original statue of Stupinigi's deer created by Francesco Ladatte in 1766 which overlooked the dome of the central hall. It was placed in this room in 1992 and the top of the dome was replaced with a modern bronze copy. The sculpture is surrounded by carved wooden bas-relief portraits commissioned by Victor Emmanuel II and originally intended for the Moncalieri Castle. In the first library and then in the second library one can find the change of taste in the mid-eighteenth century when the stables area was reduced to make room for a library sandwiched with shelves designed by Benedetto Alfieri and painted in blue, ivory and gold, accompanied by allegories of the arts and sciences painted by Giuseppe Nogari.

Apartment of the Duke of Chiablese
Also called "Appartamento di Levante" (as opposed to the specular Appartamento di Ponente), the set of rooms was enlarged under the direction of Benedetto Alfieri in the 18th century to accommodate the rooms of Prince Benedetto, Duke of Chablais, son of King Charles Emmanuel III.

Gambling hall
The room of greater consistency for size and style in the apartments of the Duke of Chiablese is undoubtedly the gambling hall, a large space intended for the leisure of the court inserted into a rectangular hall with rounded corners and two large niches on the sides more short. The ceiling, decorated by Giovanni Pietro Pozzo in 1765, incorporates the same exotic and oriental motifs of the walls that play the role of an elegant frame for the game furniture inside the room: a mid-eighteenth century drawing room, a Louis XV style game table with a precious chessboard inlaid with ebony and ivory, as well as a desk with refined ivory figures inlaid from the beginning of the 18th century. Noteworthy are also the chinoiserie and the porcelain present in this environment that are well suited to the exotic decoration of the complex.

Hall of Mirrors and Cabinet of Pauline Bonaparte
The first room, decorated with a very special rococo style, is decorated with stucco and mirrors from the walls to the ceiling, designed by Giovanni Pietro Pozzo in 1766 with the help of Michele Antonio Rapous in the realization of the boiserie. The chandelier dating back to the 1940s is more ancient and is decorated with sculptures of wrought iron birds. The Cabinet of Pauline Bonaparte owes its fame to the fact that it was made to equip in current forms by Pauline Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister, during her period of stay at the palace when her husband Camillo Borghese was appointed governor of Piedmont. The room, small in size, contains a beautiful marble bathtub, decorated with bas-reliefs representing the imperial insignia with the Napoleonic eagle.

Central Hall
The central hall, the core of the building, was the first idea of Juvarra to be completed and the focus around which its entire building complex was developed. The room consists of a large oval-shaped room culminating in a dome enclosed by a vaulted ceiling. The hall was completed in 1730 and on 10 February 1731 the king commissioned to the Bolognese brothers Giuseppe and Domenico Valeriani a large fresco on the vault, depicting the Triumph of Diana, the classic goddess of hunting that appears between the clouds, above a celestial chariot overlooking woods. Around there are also putti with game or wreaths of flowers, flanked by nymphs. At the apex of the four pillars that support the dome of the hall, just below the large fresco, there are four monochromatic medallions representing similar episodes related to the same deity. The works for the realization of such frescoes began already on March 8, ending in 1733. Juvarra imposed a quadrature scheme on the two brothers so as not to ruin his complex overall design.

Frescoes of the upper vault
After Juvarra left, his idea to place large sculptural groups of dogs and deer in the large windows of the salon was abandoned, so as not to excessively limit the splendid perspective view that is still enjoyed looking outwards. The project was entrusted to Giuseppe Marocco, who envisioned the thirty-six wooden fans (appliques) with deer heads that show off themselves on the walls of the hall. From the same period are the gilded wood inlays of the balustrade of the singers in the upper part of the hall and the paracamels painted by the Lombard Giovanni Crivelli (1733). Also worthy of note are the four marble busts made in 1773 by Giovanni Battista Bernero, which overlook the same number of entrances to the hall and which represent minor divinities linked to hunting and the fields: Ceres, Pomona, Naiad and Napea.

The salon, steeped in its structure and in the decorations characteristic of the eighteenth century, also attracted the attention of several contemporaries who were able to see it personally as the French engraver Charles-Nicolas Cochin, who however criticized the superabundance of decorations and excessive eccentricity. Of the same opinion was Jérôme Lalande, who reported how the Juvarra was almost completely focused on the salon, leaving behind all the rest and revealing how it was arranged as the "dream of an architect", too risky for a city palace and only for a sumptuous country residence.

The park

The hunting park that belonged to a branch of the House of Savoy was given to Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy in 1563, when he moved the capital of the Duchy of Savoy from Chambéry to Turin. The garden of the hunting lodge and the surrounding hunting estate are clearly distinguished in Stupinigi: the complex, in fact, is part of a large geometric garden, characterized by a continuous succession of flowerbeds, parterres and avenues. This park, bordered by a wall and intersected by long avenues, was designed by the French gardener Michael Benard in 1740. The hunting park, or estate, was instead constituted by the vast area of almost 1,700 hectares that extended outside the fenced park and which had been expropriated by Emmanuel Philibert in 1563 from the Pallavicini family. This area included land and woods included today in the municipalities of Nichelino, Orbassano and Candiolo.

Since 1992, woods and agricultural land surrounding Stupinigi have been preserved as the Parco naturale di Stupinigi. Included in the communal territories of Nichelino, Candiolo and Orbassano, it has an area of 17.32 km² that includes a part of the region's original lowland forest, where visitors can admire some rare plant species no longer widely found elsewhere. Wildlife includes beech martens, weasels, foxes, hazel dormice, European hares, white storks, tree squirrels and others.

Derek and Clive Get the Horn

Derek and Clive Get the Horn is a 1979 British documentary comedy film that chronicles the recording of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's 1978 comedy album Derek and Clive Ad Nauseam, their third and final outing featuring their controversial alter-egos Derek and Clive, two foul-mouthed lavatory attendants who banter at length about their surreal day-to-day existences. The footage was shot in early September 1978. The film was the feature film directorial debut of Russell Mulcahy, who would go on to direct Highlander.

Cast

 * Peter Cook as Clive
 * Dudley Moore as Derek
 * Judy Huxtable as Judy Cook
 * Nicola Austine as Lady who came in and took her clothes off
 * Richard Branson as Man with a beard

Release
The film was intended for a theatrical release, but in October 1980, the British Board of Film Classification rejected it outright on the grounds of its sustained and excessive use of very strong language (the uses of "fuck" and "cunt"), and blasphemy.

Cook instead chose to release the film straight to video, a format that was at the time unregulated, but this plan also ran into trouble when several hundred copies were impounded by "God's copper" James Anderton of the Greater Manchester Police, sending the small company behind the release spiraling into bankruptcy. Derek and Clive Get the Horn was finally granted an uncut 18 certificate in 1993 and was released as a sell-through video by PolyGram.

Billing himself as "The Great Ballantine", "The Amazing Ballantine" or "Ballantine: The World's Greatest Magician", his vaudeville-style comedy routine involved transparent or incompetent stage magic tricks, which tended to flop and go "hilariously awry" to the wisecracking Ballantine's mock chagrin. He has been credited with creating comedy magic and has influenced comedians and magicians alike.

Early life and career
Ballantine was born Meyer Kessler in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Israel Kessler (1883–1930) and Rose Cohen (1890–1973), both Jewish immigrants from Borshchiv, Ukraine, and Russian Poland (then part of the Austrian Empire and Second Polish Republic). Nicknamed the "Jipper," he was inspired at age 9 by his barber who would do magic tricks with thimbles while cutting his hair. His first job was working as a printer.

In the 1930s, Kessler was doing professional straight magic as "Count Marakoff", "Carlton Sharpe", and "Carl Sharp" in Chicago, helping support his family, and later moved to New York City, where he performed in nightclubs and on television variety shows. In the early 1940s, he gave up "real magic" when he realized he could not be as good as some of his peers. According to his daughter, "one night, one of his tricks got screwed up, he said something to cover, and the audience laughed. So he started adding more."

He switched to comedy magic and changed his name to "Carl Ballantine", after he noticed a bottle of Ballantine whisky in an advertisement and decided it sounded "show-businessy and classy", and called the magic act "Ballantine, the World's Greatest Magician". He entertained troops during World War II. He was billed as "The Amazing Mr. Ballantine" when he played the New York Capitol in 1950, and "The Great Ballantine" in The Ed Sullivan Show and The Steve Allen Show on television in the 1950s and 1960s.

He was the first magician to play Las Vegas, appearing on a bill with Harry James, Betty Grable and Sammy Davis Jr. at El Rancho Vegas in 1956.

Ballantine was cast in several films, including McHale's Navy (1964), Penelope (1966), Speedway (1968), The Shakiest Gun in the West (1968), The World's Greatest Lover (1977), Just You and Me, Kid (1979), Disney's The North Avenue Irregulars (1979) and Billy Crystal’s directorial debut, Mr. Saturday Night (1992), and in numerous television series, including the ABC sitcom McHale's Navy (1962–1966), in which he played Lester Gruber, one of the PT boat sailors known for his hucksterism and wild schemes. He was a supporting player on the show, working with stars Ernest Borgnine, Joe Flynn and Tim Conway.

An early television role cast him as magician Al Henderson, working the 53rd precinct Christmas party for brother-in-law Officer Toody in episode 15 of the first season of Car 54, Where Are You?, originally airing December 24, 1961. He also guest-starred on The Partridge Family, I Dream of Jeannie as a used car salesman, and on The Monkees episode "The Audition" which aired on January 23, 1967. In 1971, he appeared as Matty Ryan on "The Men From Shiloh" (rebranded name for the TV western The Virginian) in the episode titled "The Politician." He appeared on CHiPs as magician "The Great Marvello", in the episode "Rustling", which aired January 28, 1978. In 1973 he appeared as Dr. Hankim in The Girl Most Likely to.... His last feature film appearance was in Aimee Semple McPherson, a 2006 biopic about the female evangelist.

Ballantine made his only appearance on Broadway as Lycus the slave merchant in the 1972 revival of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum starring Phil Silvers. He was also a frequent panelist/judge on The Gong Show, even appearing on the series finale of the NBC daytime version.

In later years, he was a recurring voice artist on Garfield and Friends, primarily as Al J. Swindler, a purveyor of shoddy merchandise.

Personal life
Ballantine's first marriage ended in divorce. In 1955, he married actress Ceil Cabot (born Celia Cabrera; March 8, 1927 – January 24, 2000), to whom he remained married until her death. Their two daughters, Saratoga, an actress, and Molly, an advertising sales executive, are both named after racetracks.

Death
Ballantine died on November 3, 2009, at age 92 at his home in Hollywood, California. His remains were cremated.

Awards and honors
He won the Academy of Magical Arts' (AMA) Special Fellowship in 1973, Performing Fellowship in 1984, and the "Louie" Award from Tannen's Magic in 1985. In 2007, he received the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Fellowship from the Academy of Magical Arts. The award was presented by Steve Martin, who calls Ballantine "the king of bungling magicians" in his memoir Born Standing Up, and said in an interview: "Carl Ballantine influenced not only myself but a generation of magicians and comedians. His was also the most copied act by a host of amateurs and professionals." According to David Copperfield, "Carl Ballantine created comedy magic. The combination of magic and comedy had perhaps been done before, but he truly defined it and made it his own."

Talk:Battle of Laupen

What the heck happened?
So it was 6,000 against 12,000 and The Bernes won. How the heck did it happen? Was it a clash of pikemen and heavy cavalry like you say? Pikemen are good at tearing up cavalry so I wouldn't call the Habsburgs and Burgundians better equiped.

Comments
The year on Delos and in Boiotia, one for a long time Athens' subject and the other always Athens' neighbour, began midwinter and not midsummer, just like the modern calendar, so the opening sentence of entry needs adjusting. (sources given in Richard Hannah, Greek & Roman calendars, P73) Flounderer 12:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The calendars of cities of Phokis, Delphi aside, also started in midwinter. The Spartan and Macedonian months started with the autumnal equinox. Catherine Trumpy's recent book on Greek months also contradicts this entry. The description of heliacal rising is incorrect, as the wikipedia entry shows. When you take out the midsummer start for all calendars then the follow-up on Minoan influence is clearly unsustainable, so a re-write from scratch may be necessary.

 * I'd be willing to re-write some of this, but it's difficult to write a generic hellenic calendar entry, particularly when compared to the Attic calendar entry. Perhaps a brief entry on the lunar nature of the calendar ref Aristophanes, the problems of intercalation ref Herodotus and Geminus and on parapegmata with links to other entries would be better. Realistically whatever I write will need addition, which I suppose is what wikipedia's about.

 * Robert Hannah's book is very good isn't it? --Alunsalt 21:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Aside from this issues of correctness pointed out above, some of this is incomprehensible and requires a retelling of the story to make it more logically palatable... Stevenmitchell 01:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

A truly awful paragraph, one for the AGES. Somebody PLEASE put it out if its MISERY!
This article on the Hellenic calendars is so badly written, it literally makes my TEETH HURT. Let's give these "sentences" (term loosely used) a go, shall we? -- ''The month in which the year began, as well as the names of the months, differed in the different countries of Greece, and in some parts even no names existed for the months, they being distinguished only numerically, as the first, second, third, fourth month, &c. In order, therefore, to acquire any satisfactory knowledge of the Greek calendar, the different states must be considered separately.''

"In some parts even no names existed"...evil portent of muck to follow.

"Differed in the different countries??" ...jeez louISE...let's see -- were the folks living there DIFFIDENT? Or is that too DIFFICULT to work out..?? Lord.

''"...no names existed for months, they being distinguised..." '' OUCH!! PLEASE GOD, STOP NOW...you just broke about 18 different rules of style, grammar and syntax in ONE FREAKING SENTENCE. STOP IT!!

Ah, Wikipedia. Where anybody can write authoritatively on anything!! Ain't it great? Now, where's that shortcut for Encarta hiding? (I disown and of course have no knowledge of ANY style or grammar errors in my OWN comments, of course! ;-)...or would that be "grammatical" errors...? hmmmmm...too many ellipses...

 * Well, it's not grammatically wrong but, in his defense, it is awkward as hell and would have been seen as such even by 19th century standards. Still, who can really hate a good &c. when it shows up in the wild? — Llywelyn II   01:26, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Typo?
I think that "Phliastos" in the Laconian system should probably be Phliasios or Fliasios. I am no expert, and am therefore unwilling to change this in the article. But I do think it's wrong as it stands. Mjhrynick (talk) 01:59, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Hellenic calendars
The article's former name notwithstanding, it has nothing to do with the post-Alexandrian Hellenic world and is focused on ancient Greece. Pending very good sources to the contrary, I don't think we should even mention the former name on this page. It should be rebuilt into a dab for all the Hellenic calendars, including Egypt, Syria, Macedonia, and Persia. — Llywelyn II   23:55, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

 * "Hellenic" is another word for saying "Greek". I do not see your point. And what Egypt, Syria and Persia have to do with Greek calendars? NickTheRipper (talk) 21:25, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Llywelyn is confusing the word "Hellenic" with "Hellenistic." Piledhighandeep (talk) 04:35, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Filippo Juvarra

Untitled
I recommend a move to the international standard spelling of the Sicilian-born Italian architect Filippo Juvarra. A redirect will remain here at this Spanish spelling (he did work in Spain after 1735), so that no reader is left behind. Any issues concerning this move? --Wetman 12:09, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Done per request. Ryan Norton T 12:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Palácio de Mafra

 * Hello, I came from portuguese Wikipedia, talk to you that Filippo Juvarra did not made the project to Palacio de Mafra, wich is credited to João Frederico Ludovice, an arquitect from Germany. Please correct it. As I'm not logged here, you can find-me at pt:User:Jo Lorib.Thanks.

 * "Just two years after work was started at Mafra, John V summoned the Piedmontese architect Filippo Juvarra to Lisbon and asked him to draw up plans for a royal palace and a patriarchal church," writes Jose-Augusto Franca in "The stately heritage of Portuguese Baroque" in UNESCO Courier, September 1987 (On-line text). Juvarra was not the builder on-site, certainly. To whom is the design currently attributed? For J.F. Ludwig called "Ludovice", see "Ludovice, Arquitectro o Capataz?" --Wetman 16:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
