Burns & Oates

Burns & Oates was a British Roman Catholic publishing house which most recently existed as an imprint of Continuum.

Company history
It was founded by James Burns in 1835, originally as a bookseller. Burns was of Presbyterian background and he gained a reputation as a High Church publisher, producing works by the Tractarians.

In 1847 his business was put in jeopardy when he converted to Catholicism, but the firm was fortunate to receive the support of John Henry Newman, who chose the firm to publish many of his works. The clerics Thomas Edward Bridgett and Ambrose St. John claimed that Newman wrote his novel Loss and Gain specifically to assist Burns.

After a while trading as Burns, James Burns took a partner, renaming the company Burns & Lambert. In 1866 they were joined by a younger man, William Wilfred Oates, making the company Burns, Lambert & Oates and later Burns & Oates. Oates was another Catholic convert, and had previously co-founded the publishing house of Austin & Oates based in Bristol. Burns & Oates passed to his son Wilfred Oates, whose sister Mother Mary Salome became one of the firm’s most successful authors. The company was designated "Publishers to the Holy See" by Pope Leo XIII. For a number of decades a related firm published under the name Burns, Oates & Washbourne

In the United States the company's agent was The Catholic Publications Society of New York.

Tonicity

In chemical biology, tonicity is a measure of the effective osmotic pressure gradient; the water potential of two solutions separated by a partially-permeable cell membrane. Tonicity depends on the relative concentration of selective membrane-impermeable solutes across a cell membrane which determine the direction and extent of osmotic flux. It is commonly used when describing the swelling-versus-shrinking response of cells immersed in an external solution.

Unlike osmotic pressure, tonicity is influenced only by solutes that cannot cross the membrane, as only these exert an effective osmotic pressure. Solutes able to freely cross the membrane do not affect tonicity because they will always equilibrate with equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane without net solvent movement. It is also a factor affecting imbibition.

There are three classifications of tonicity that one solution can have relative to another: hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic. A hypotonic solution example is distilled water.

Hypertonic solution

A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of non-permeating solutes than another solution. In biology, the tonicity of a solution usually refers to its solute concentration relative to that of another solution on the opposite side of a cell membrane; a solution outside of a cell is called hypertonic if it has a greater concentration of solutes than the cytosol inside the cell. When a cell is immersed in a hypertonic solution, osmotic pressure tends to force water to flow out of the cell in order to balance the concentrations of the solutes on either side of the cell membrane. The cytosol is conversely categorized as hypotonic, opposite of the outer solution.

When plant cells are in a hypertonic solution, the flexible cell membrane pulls away from the rigid cell wall, but remains joined to the cell wall at points called plasmodesmata. The cells often take on the appearance of a pincushion, and the plasmodesmata almost cease to function because they become constricted, a condition known as plasmolysis. In plant cells the terms isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic cannot strictly be used accurately because the pressure exerted by the cell wall significantly affects the osmotic equilibrium point.

Some organisms have evolved intricate methods of circumventing hypertonicity. For example, saltwater is hypertonic to the fish that live in it. Because the fish need a large surface area in their gills in contact with seawater for gas exchange, they lose water osmotically to the sea from gill cells. They respond to the loss by drinking large amounts of saltwater, and actively excreting the excess salt. This process is called osmoregulation.

Hypotonic solution
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes than another solution. In biology, a solution outside of a cell is called hypotonic if it has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol. Due to osmotic pressure, water diffuses into the cell, and the cell often appears turgid, or bloated. For cells without a cell wall such as animal cells, if the gradient is large enough, the uptake of excess water can produce enough pressure to induce cytolysis, or rupturing of the cell. When plant cells are in a hypotonic solution, the central vacuole takes on extra water and pushes the cell membrane against the cell wall. Due to the rigidity of the cell wall, it pushes back, preventing the cell from bursting. This is called turgor pressure.

Isotonicity
A solution is isotonic when its effective osmole concentration is the same as that of another solution. In biology, the solutions on either side of a cell membrane are isotonic if the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell. In this case the cell neither swells nor shrinks because there is no concentration gradient to induce the diffusion of large amounts of water across the cell membrane. Water molecules freely diffuse through the plasma membrane in both directions, and as the rate of water diffusion is the same in each direction, the cell will neither gain nor lose water.

An iso-osmolar solution can be hypotonic if the solute is able to penetrate the cell membrane. For example, an iso-osmolar urea solution is hypotonic to red blood cells, causing their lysis. This is due to urea entering the cell down its concentration gradient, followed by water. The osmolarity of normal saline, 9 grams NaCl dissolved in water to a total volume of one liter, is a close approximation to the osmolarity of NaCl in blood (about 290 mOsm/L). Thus, normal saline is almost isotonic to blood plasma. Neither sodium nor chloride ions can freely pass through the plasma membrane, unlike urea.

Tanjungpinang

Tanjungpinang, also colloquially written as Tanjung Pinang, is the capital city of the Indonesian province of Riau Islands. It covers a land area of 144.56 km2, mainly in the southern part of Bintan Island, as well as other smaller islands such as Dompak Island and Penyengat Island. With a population of 227,663 at the 2020 Census, it is the second largest city of the province, after Batam; the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 234,840 (comprising 118,600 males and 116,250 females). Tanjungpinang is a historic city of the Malay culture, having served as the capital of both Johor Sultanate and Riau-Lingga Sultanate.

Tanjungpinang – whose name is taken from the position of a beach tree that juts into the sea – occupies a strategic location on the south of Bintan Island, guarding the mouth of the Bintan River. Tanjungpinang has ferry and speedboat connections to Batam, Singapore (40 km away), and Johor Bahru. The city is also served by Raja Haji Fisabilillah International Airport, located about 7 km east of the city center.

Over the centuries, Tanjungpinang came under the control of Sumatra, Malacca, the Netherlands, Britain, and Japan. These contacts each influenced its culture, also being a centre of Malay culture and trade traffic. In the 18th century, it was a capital of the Johor–Riau–Lingga Empire.

History
The name Tanjungpinang is taken from the position of beach nut tree that juts into the sea. Trees that are in the Cape which is a guide for voyagers who will go to Bintan River. The Tanjungpinang River is the entrance to Bintan, where the Bentan empire was based in what is now the district of Bukit Batu.

Early history
Tanjungpinang's history can be traced to the early 3rd century, when it flourished as a trading post on the India–China trade route. Srivijaya, a Sumatra-based empire which nurtured trade with China, came to dominate much of the Malay archipelago from the 7th to 13th centuries. It declined with the rise of piracy in the region, and by the 12th century Bintan Island became known by the Chinese as "Pirate Island".

According to the Malay Annals, a Srivijaya prince named Seri Teri Buana, fleeing from the sacking of Palembang, stayed on Bintan for several years, gathering his strength before founding the Kingdom of Singapura (Singapore). A century later, it too was sacked by rival powers, and its king founded a new city at Malacca. The Malacca Sultanate (1400–1511) became one of the great empires of the region, its territories including the Riau Archipelago. Malacca was captured by the Portuguese in 1511, and the exiled Sultan Mahmud Shah established his capital at Bintan, from which he organized attacks and blockades against the Portuguese. In 1526, after a number of attempts to suppress the Malay forces, the Portuguese razed Bintan to the ground.

Johor Sultanate
Alauddin Riayat Shah II, a son of Mahmud Shah, established the Johor Sultanate in 1528. Former-Malaccan territories were quickly brought under Johor's influence, including Bintan, where an important trading port called Bandar Riau was opened. As it prospered and a war with the Jambi Sultanate threatened Johor in 1722, the capital was moved to Riau, which became a centre of trade and Islamic studies much as Malacca had been.

A conflict with the Dutch, who had taken Malacca from the Portuguese, culminated with a Dutch fleet of 13 vessels besieging and attacking Riau. On 6 January 1784, they were met in battle by Malay and Bugis forces, and repelled with the destruction of the Dutch command ship Malaka's Wal Faren. Malay forces continued to harass the Dutch, and blockaded Malacca, but a defeat and succession crisis shifted power against them. The capital was moved from Riau to Lingga in 1788. The change of capitals has led to the Johor Sultanate sometimes being called the Johor–Riau–Lingga Empire.

The British gained control of Malacca from the Dutch in 1795. Attempting to increase their influence over the Strait of Malacca, the two powers each crowned a different candidate as Sultan of Johor–Riau during a succession crisis (1812–1818). This led to the partition of Johor–Riau under the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824, which placed the territory south of the strait under Dutch control as the Riau–Lingga Sultanate.

Dutch colony and independence
On 11 February 1911, the Dutch deposed the sultan for defying the colonial masters, and officially annexed the sultanate which was then administered from Tanjungpinang as the Riau Residency of the Dutch East Indies. A military base was also constructed at Tanjungpinang.

During World War II, the Japanese occupiers made Tanjungpinang the government centre for the Riau Islands. Control returned to the Dutch following the Japanese surrender, and the Dutch officially withdrew in 1950. Riau became one of the last territories merged into Indonesia, known as the daerah-daerah pulihan (recovered regions). Tanjungpinang briefly became the capital of Riau Province, until the capital was moved to Pekanbaru in 1960. A law passed in 2001 defined Tanjungpinang as an autonomous city with effect from 21 June 2001 (separate from Bintan Regency, of which it was previously a part), and it became the capital of Riau Islands Province when that province was created in 2002, becoming its second city (after Batam, formed as an independent city in 1999).

Administration
The city (which is administratively separate from Bintan Regency) is divided into four districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010, and 2020 Censuses, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023.

Climate

Harlyn

Harlyn (ar-Lyn, meaning facing a pool) is a small village on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated inland from Harlyn Bay (Porth Lys, meaning court cove) three miles from Padstow and about one mile from St. Merryn.

Harlyn Bay is a family and surfing beach and is suitable for novice surfers. Near the beach are a caravan park and a pub called The Harlyn Inn. Many of the houses in Harlyn are holiday lets. East of Harlyn Bay is the village and beach of Trevone and west of Harlyn are Cataclews Point (Karrek Loos, meaning grey rock), Mother Ivey's Bay and Trevose Head. Further west, the beaches at Constantine Bay, Porthcothan and Treyarnon are linked by the South West Coast Path.

Harlyn lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The village is comprised to a large extent of second homes, and is quiet for much of the year.

The beach and most of the land on the cliff was brought over a century ago by a wealthy industrialist family, who still own the houses on the cliff top.

The Gold Lunulae of Harlyn
In 1865 a labourer found two wafer-thin crescents of gold known as lunulae at Harlyn Bay. They probably date from the early Bronze Age, and were probably deposited as grave goods, as there are several prehistoric burial mounds nearby. The shape of these lunulae indicates a symbolic meaning. They represent the crescent horns of the moon, and may thus have been objects of great ritual and ceremonial significance. The site of the finds was above Onjohn Cove, a small cove between Harlyn Bay and Cataclews Point at. They are preserved at the Royal Cornwall Museum, Truro.

In 2014, after heavy storms had battered the cliffs of Harlyn Bay, local residents and beach users discovered the storms had uncovered an ancient burial cist containing human remains. The remains were recovered for further investigation, but it is assumed that they belong to a female from either the Iron or Bronze Age periods.

Hime

Hime is the Japanese word for princess or a lady of higher birth. Daughters of a monarch are actually referred to by other terms, e.g. Ōjo (王女), literally king's daughter, even though Hime can be used to address Ōjo.

The word Hime initially referred to any beautiful female person. The antonym of Hime is Shikome (醜女), literally ugly female, though it is archaic and rarely used. Hime may also indicate feminine or simply small when used together with other words, such as Hime-gaki (a low line of hedge).

Hime is commonly seen as part of a Japanese female divinity's name, such as Toyotama-hime. The Kanji applied to transliterate Hime are 比売 or 毘売 rather than 姫. The masculine counterpart of Hime is Hiko (彦, 比古 or 毘古,) which is seen as part of Japanese male gods' names, such as Saruta-hiko. Unlike Hime, Hiko is neutral, non-archaic and still commonly used as a modern Japanese male given name, for example Nobuhiko Takada.

Etymology
Originally a compound of sun (日) and woman (女).

Proverb

 * Ichi hime ni taro "First baby, a girl. Second baby, a boy": It originally meant that having a girl first, and a boy second was easier on the mother as she gained experience before nurturing a boy. However, with each household having fewer children, this is commonly confused as having "one girl and two boys", or three children. This is because "ichi" means "one" in Japanese and "ni" means "two" in Japanese, and therefore could be read as, "One girl, two boys."

Usage
While many use the name Hime to address those of a higher or more noble birth, there are a few who use it as a girl's name. Thus some names either incorporate the word Hime or the giver simply will name said girl Hime.

Talk:Townsville Airport

Untitled
Enjoy the Pictures there everybody, I snapped most of them myself. Gertzy

Then get some dates right. The new terminal opened in 1983; "The International Wool Shed.", as Pricey called it. The aerobrige system opened circa 1995. Major upgrade of parking and taxiways to concrete substructure was circa 1971.220.244.73.38 (talk) 02:49, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Rename proposal
According to the website International has been dropped from the offical name. I request your opinion with summary by 18 June 12:00 UTC. Soredewa 09:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed, name of article should reflect official name. Michellecrisp 13:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

There is a problem with the name Garbutt that crops up throughout this article. Townsville Airport was established on its present site in January 1939. It has never been called Garbutt airport. RAAF Base Townsville was established on the same site in 1940. Two years later in 1942 the airfield was greatly expanded, and five other military airfields were built or occupied in the area immediately surrounding Townsville. To avoid confusion, RAAF Base Townsville was renamed RAAF Base Garbutt - the name of the local railway siding - in that year. That name persisted until 1 January 1951 when the base had returned to approximately its pre-war establishment and the surrounding airfields were all de-commissioned. Its name then reverted to RAAF Base Townsville. So for the eight years 1942-1950 Garbutt was the name of the RAAF base, but it was never the name of the civil airport. Peter Bell (talk) 08:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

There's been no response to this comment after a month, so I've re-written the first paragraphs of the history to explain the relationship between Townsville Airport and RAAF Base Townsville. Peter Bell (talk) 09:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Aviation weather links
Canadian and American airports generally contain a link to an aviation weather source in their external link section. Why should airports in this country be different?DSatYVR (talk) 22:15, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Redevelopment When?
Article claims redeveloped terminal opened in 1981. I suspect it was a good 4 or 5 years after then. I went through TSV mid 1981 and the old weatherboard terminal was certainly still in use. It dated from the late 40s. The airbridges were not installed until after the new building, dubbed the "wool shed" by DJ Steve Price, was completed. I remember the new shed was progressively built from the southern end, as the old terminal was progressively demolished. 220.244.78.245 (talk) 02:04, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

1983 it was. Now referenced.27.33.81.78 (talk) 01:15, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

There's a photo of an aerobridge claimed to be 1981. My father was the YBTL airport manager until mid-1981. There was no aerobridge then, just the old 1958 terminal and the late 1960s extensions to handle the jet baggage volumes. The international woolshed (as local DJ Steve Price still calls it some 35yrs later) came around 1983, and airbridges came quite a number of years later.203.220.102.111 (talk) 09:52, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Harriet Miers

Deputy White House Chief of Staff
On the entry for Karl Rove there is a box showing her as the previous Deputy White House Chief of Staff. There should be similar box here, with her predecessor, and Rove as her successor. --grr 08:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

revert year links
I reverted the removal of links on bare years. Editor claimed there was no use, since years have no "date preference" settings. I contend that the bare year links exist to link to the pages for the years in question, placing the article, and its timeline, in historical context; and that such links have nothing to do with date preferences. I will agree, however, with anyone who wants to go through and ensure that each year is linked only once, or once per header section. I don't have time right now. --Kgf0

What does the "Republican tremors" link have anything to do with Miers? --(non-Wiki editor)

Resignation Errata
I believe this: "As of January 4th, 2006, she has submitted her resignation from the position"

Should be changed to: January 4th, 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.207.165.23 (talk) 19:28, 4 January 2007 (UTC).

Why don't you just change it then?Mowens35 19:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Miers involved in the '06-'07 U.S. Attorney firing scandal
This is a widening scandal, but there is now email evidence that Miers suggested, in 2005, that the Attorney General, via the White House, remove and replace all 97 U.S. Attorneys. They didn't heed her adice, but did fire 8 U.S. Attorneys, all Democrats, all with positive job evaluations, and replaced them without Congressional confrimation.

Here's the link:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031201818_pf.html

 * This text is from the NY Times 3/13/07 article "‘Mistakes’ Made on Prosecutors, Gonzales Says" By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG and JEFF ZELENY.

 * Congressional Democrats, who are investigating whether the White House was meddling in Justice Department affairs for political reasons, demanded that President Bush and his chief political adviser, Karl Rove, explain their roles in the dismissals.

 * With Mr. Bush traveling in Mexico, 'the White House insisted that the president’s role had been minimal and laid the blame primarily on Harriet E. Miers, who was White House counsel when the prosecutors lost their jobs and who stepped down in January.

 * “The White House did not play a specific role in the list of the seven U.S. attorneys,” said Dan Bartlett, Mr. Bush’s counselor, referring to a Justice Department roster of those to be dismissed. But he said the White House, through Ms. Miers’s office, ultimately “signed off on the list.”

and now it looks like the white house is retreating from this position:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/16/AR2007031601046.html

"The White House retreated today from its claim that former counsel Harriet E. Miers first came up with the idea of firing U.S. attorneys, another apparent shift in the Bush administration's evolving version of events behind the controversy."

Slarson 22:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Is it like "meers" or "meyers"? --AW (talk) 21:16, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Reportedly the latter, like "Myers", with a long English I.

 * --UnicornTapestry (talk) 06:48, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Opening line
The opening line reads
 * Harriet Ellan Miers (born 10 August 1945) is an American lawyer and former White House Counsel. On 4 January 2007, she submitted her resignation from the position of White House Counsel, effective 31 January 2007.

While I grant there's an odd irony, the opening paragraph makes it sound as if her crowning achievement is her resignation. Can't we do better than that?

(BTW, for this section, I added the year to a date where it wasn't clear and used international dates, because the article may be of international interest.)

The War of the Simpsons

"The War of the Simpsons" is the twentieth episode of the second season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on May 2, 1991. In the episode, Homer gets drunk at a dinner party and embarrasses Marge, so she enrolls them in marriage counseling at a lakeside retreat with Reverend Lovejoy.

The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Mark Kirkland. It was the last episode Kirkland directed during his first year on the show. Although not named until season three's "Black Widower", the character Snake Jailbird appeared for the first time in this episode. "The War of the Simpsons" features songs such as Tom Jones's "It's Not Unusual", Dusty Springfield's "The Look of Love", KC and the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way (I Like It)", and Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman".

Since airing, the episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. It acquired a Nielsen rating of 11.6 and was the second highest-rated show on Fox the week it aired.

Plot
During a party at the Simpsons' house, Homer humiliates himself by getting drunk, insulting guests, and leering at Maude Flanders' cleavage. At church the next day, Marge signs up for marriage counseling at a weekend retreat hosted by Reverend Lovejoy and his wife Helen. When Homer learns the retreat will be held at Catfish Lake, he packs his fishing equipment, but Marge tells him they are only attending to resolve their marital problems. On the way to the retreat, Homer stops at a bait shop and learns of the legendary catfish General Sherman.

At the lake the next morning, Homer tries to sneak away to fish, upsetting Marge that he would choose fishing over their marriage. Instead of returning to bed, Homer takes a walk and finds an abandoned fishing pole on a dock. As he grabs the pole with General Sherman on the line, the fish yanks him from the pier into a small rowboat and onto the lake. From their cabin window, Marge grows angry watching Homer battle General Sherman. Marge attends the marriage workshops alone while Homer triumphantly docks with General Sherman aboard the boat. When Homer returns, Marge tells him their marriage is in serious trouble if he values fishing more than his wife. To prove his love for her, Homer releases the fish, which swims away.

While Marge and Homer are away, Grampa babysits Bart and Lisa, who trick their grandfather into letting them throw a party. After the party ends, the house is a total mess. When Grampa cries, they fear their mess will land him in trouble with their parents, so they frantically clean the house. Once home, Marge praises Grampa for the house's cleanliness. He reveals his secret is "pretending to cry" to con his grandchildren into cleaning it. Bart and Lisa realize they were tricked as Grampa leaves while laughing at them.

Production

The episode was written by John Swartzwelder, and it was the last episode Mark Kirkland directed during his first year on the show. Kirkland and his animation team were relatively new to animation when they began working on the show, and to make the animation in this episode the best they had ever done, they incorporated all the techniques they had learned during their first year into it. Kirkland said animating Homer drunk was a challenge for him as he had to analyze how people behave when they are intoxicated by alcohol. He said of the animation: "I shifted [Homer's] eyes open and close, they're not working in sync. And of course Homer can't keep his balance so that's why he's shifting back and forth." Kirkland was raised in New York in an environment similar to the one where the marriage retreat was held. He therefore enjoyed drawing and overseeing the scenery for the episode, and the bait shop was based on the bait shops he visited when he grew up. Snake Jailbird, Springfield's resident recidivist felon, appeared for the first time on the show in this episode, though he was not named until season three's "Black Widower". He appears at Bart and Lisa's wild house party. A woman named Gloria who seeks marriage counseling at the retreat was voiced by Julie Kavner. It is one of the few times in the history of the show that Kavner has voiced a character other than Marge and her relatives. Gloria's hair was based on Kirkland's assistant director Susie Dietter's.

The Simpsons writer Mike Reiss said on the episode's DVD audio commentary that while the episode was "full of funny moments", it caused "nothing but trouble" for the staff. One of those troubles was that after the episode had been written by Swartzwelder, an unsolicited writer sent them a script containing a virtually identical story. To avoid a lawsuit, the staff paid him US$3000 and went forward with theirs. Material cut from the episode's script included many couples who were supposed to be at the retreat instead of the Flanders family, such as Mr. Burns and his mail-order bride, and Mrs. Krabappel trying to reunite with her estranged husband Ken Krabappel. Reiss said the scene played out "horribly badly", and it appeared as if Mr. Burns's mail-order bride was a prostitute. The Ken Krabappel character was supposed to be based on singer Dean Martin, but somehow he ended up with a southern accent that made him sound like a hick. The whole scene was rewritten with help from producer James L. Brooks and it was completed after several hours. A scene in which Moe asked Dr. Hibbert to cure his discolored feces was also removed during the first reading of the script after a complaint by Brooks. Series creator Matt Groening later expressed an objection to the ending, which sees General Sherman jumping out of the water and winking at the camera, believing it to be overly cartoony.

Cultural references

The way Ned Flanders prepares the cocktails at the party is similar to actor Tom Cruise's bartending stunts in the 1988 film Cocktail. Songs heard at the party include Tom Jones's "It's Not Unusual" (1965), Dusty Springfield's "The Look of Love" (1967), KC and the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way (I Like It)" (1975), and Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" (1968). Homer's false memory of the party the following day (in which he imagines himself as being erudite and witty instead of drunk) is a reference to the Algonquin Round Table, a group of New York City writers, critics, actors, and wits. The animation style and color scheme matches a typical cover of The New Yorker featuring the magazine's Eustace Tilley character. The "Mexican Hat Dance" song is heard when Marge turns on the radio in the car to mute the conversation between herself and Homer so the children cannot hear them fight. When Homer comes into the church late, while looking for his chair, a character who strikes a resemblance to Adolf Hitler is seen. In a flashback sequence, Bart remembers chasing away a screaming babysitter with the car as a toddler. This sequence and the music in it are references to a scene in the 1976 film The Omen, in which the Devil's child Damien makes animals shriek in terror as Damien approaches. The picture of General Sherman at the bait shop is a reference to the famous hoax picture of the Loch Ness Monster. John and Gloria are a reference to George and Martha from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Homer's attempt at catching General Sherman, his bludgeoning of the fish and the line "I love you but I have to kill you" are all based on Santiago's fight with the marlin in Ernest Hemingway's novel The Old Man and the Sea. The battle between Homer and General Sherman is also reminiscent of Captain Ahab's battle with the white whale Moby-Dick in the novel Moby-Dick.

Reception
In its original broadcast, "The War of the Simpsons" finished fortieth in the ratings for the week of April 29 to May 5, 1991, with a Nielsen rating of 11.6, equivalent to approximately 10.8 million viewing households. It was the second highest-rated show on Fox that week, following Married... with Children.

Since airing, the episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. The Orlando Sentinel's Gregory Hardy named it the twelfth best episode of the show with a sports theme (sport fishing). The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, thought the Homer vs. Marge plot was "good on its own", but it was also "Grampa's big moment. His final revelation to Bart and Lisa is inspired." DVD Movie Guide's Colin Jacobson said the main concern with the episode "stemmed from its start. The scenes at the party were so terrific that the episode could have tanked after that. Happily, it didn't, as the show provided a consistently high level of entertainment. Between Homer's excesses at marriage camp and the kids' antics while Grampa watches them, the program packed in a ton of great gags."

In a review of the second season, Bryce Wilson of Cinema Blend said "The War of the Simpsons" felt "a bit flat", but "even in [its] lowest points, humor is easy to find". Jeremy Kleinman of DVD Talk said it was "another great episode, featuring first, a new level of Homer's debauchery after drinking way too much at a party the Simpsons host, Reverend Lovejoy's marital retreat, and an epic battle with a legendary fish named General Sherman. Each of these portions of the episode are filled with laughs, perhaps the funniest being Homer's distorted high-society recollection of the previous night's events in which he is hailed as charming and a jolly good fellow."

Pics of East and West stand
The layout of the two stand pics looks a bit clunky. It might just be my browser (firefox 1.5.05 on linux) rendering it in a weird way, but I doubt it. I had a go at fixing it, but that just made it worse. Anyone else want to have a go at improving it? --Apyule 12:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

West stand contradiction
The west stand section says that it has 3 tiers as well as saying that construction was stopped after only 1 was built. Can anyone clear this up? Thanks, --Apyule 13:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Even if the point about construction halting after the first tier was built because of planning difficulties is true (and no source has been given), the hiccup was only very brief, as the stand was complete in three tiers only a few seasons after work began. Even if true, this bit of information is of no current or continuing interest sufficient to justify a place in an encyclopaedia article.  I have deleted it. Chelseaboy 14:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up. --Apyule 10:09, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Why wasn't the profile of the East stand retained for the new stands?
This has concerned me for a while. The ground looks a bit disjointed, with tiers starting and finishing at different levels, and with little apparent attempt at harmonizing the overall look.

Is there a specific reason why the existing profile of the East stand could not have been continued all the way round the ground? Is it a strange or problematic tier formation? I appreciate the East Stand is HUGE and it may not have been practical to create such a large, three tiered "bowl", but surely things could have been made slightly more co-ordinated than they are?

 * - it was said in the last few months by Chelsea that modern safety standards would require any replacement stand built on the site to use a lower angle for the stepping than the current east stand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.225.175.151 (talk) 00:06, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

For some reason the capacity is listed as over 50,000 when it is in fact 42,055 (as cited here http://www.chelseafc.com/page/HistoryDetail/0,,10268~1328575,00.html). The West Stand seats around 13,500, not 20 odd thousand as listed. The overall capacity is also incorrectly stated here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_football_stadia_by_capacity —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.17.83 (talk) 00:03, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The capacities are a mess. As are many stadiums on wikipedia, using sources that contradict each other, or no sources at all. Chelsea's official page on the present day stadium shows 41,623, the Premier League claim it's 41,798, this article uses 41,837 (no source) and if you add up the capacities listed for each stand on this article, you get over 64,000!

Bridge
Is there any specific bridge related to the stadium? Beyond495 (talk) 23:40, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes. The stadium took its name from the bridge where Fulham Road crosses the railway immediately to the South East of the site. A bridge has been positioned there for hundreds of years. Before the railway was built, a tributary of the Thames river, called 'Counters Creek', later fashioned into the 'Kensington Canal' flowed there. That was diverted into underground pipes and resurfaces as 'Chelsea Creek' entering the Thames by the old Lots Road Power Station. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:149B:AC00:F1ED:ED16:A79:FBDC (talk) 17:57, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Stamford Bridge (stadium) → Stamford Bridge

The stadium is pretty much unquestionably the primary topic (and I know other stuff exists), so I think the disambiguation page should be changed to "Stamford Bridge (disambiguation)" so that the stadium can be called "Stamford Bridge" rather than "Stamdford Bridge (stadium)" - Unreal7 22:01, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Even if the doctrine of "primary topic" could usefully be applied in this case, we would need solid evidence that a stadium named "Stamford Bridge" qualified. Surely the world at large will assume that it is a bridge, or perhaps a normal place name, as in Stamford Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire which is listed at Stamford Bridge (currently a DAB page). Better to keep the existing precision, which prevents any possible confusion without any cost whatsoever.

That is this: everyone looking for the stadium by searching for "Stamford bridge" will be taken to the dab page rather than straight to the article about the stadium. Of the various uses on the dab page, the article about the stadium is the most popular, achieving almost 35,000 views in March.  But it did not dominate as much as I expected.  The best of the rest is Battle of Stamford Bridge, which got about 13,000 views. That's a bit too significant to ignore, in my view, though the opposite argument could surely be made.  In the end, both articles are of high quality and are substantive.  Leaving the dab page here probably serves our readers best in this case, but it's far from a slam dunk.  --Born2cycle (talk) 06:26, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

The North Stand
There was a small stand on north-east part of the ground until the late 1960's/early 1970's called the North Stand. Does anyone have any information on this (when built & demolished e.g.)? Barney Bruchstein (talk) 13:32, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Reply to when the new nort-east stand was built up. I visited "the shield" in November 1976, at that time had the three tier stand existed for a few years. I'm not certain, but I think the demolition was made after the 1972/73 season. The new stand was moved a few meters to the south-west (due to the running-/ greyhound-/ speedway- tracks, but also moved around 25 meters to the north (parallell to the pitch), the player entry was for quite a few years afterwards not at the middle of the pitch. Economic crisis prevented the club to continue the re-building of the whole stadium for may years. Chelsea was also relegated to what then was "division 2" (They played there during the 1976/77 season, I watched Chelsea vs Charlton in a mid-week game, in November 1976, I was 12 at that time). And though Chealsea came back quickly, they were far away from the great clubs during the second half of the 1970's and the entire 1980's. I remember (from a Swedish sport paper) that an American wanted to build a huge parking lot instead of the stadium. How true that was, I don't know, but I can assure you of the fact that I have read such a newspaper notice a long time ago now. (perhaps someone could trace a source ?) Boeing720 (talk) 19:13, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The small North Stand was still there when I attended a game in 1974. I'm fairly sure it was demolished shortly after the East Stand was opened, which I think was later that year. Britmax (talk)

Access
Re local stations and trains - London Overground is a National Rail service which serves both West Brompton and Imperial Wharf. The listing also ignores Southern Railway which runs on the same route serving the same two stations, the two services' routes varying further away from the area. I would correct it but I'll probably mess up the tables.MBRZ48 (talk) 03:58, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

1066?
The stadium was built in 1066? Was this before of after the arrival of Billy I?

What has happened with photo ?
I took a photo from the Swedish Encyklopedia Nordisk Familjebok, third edition (1924-1937 17 volumes + another three supplementary volumes 1937- (summer of) 1939. The article "Fotboll", or "Football" in English is illustrated by one singe image only. And this was a clear aerial photography of Stamford Bridge, during a match in the late 1920's or early 1930's. I think it was even better than any of the other b/w photos, as the stadium is jam packed around the oval stadium. On the north-eastern long side is a covered stand, where "CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB" easily can be read. I wonder why it was removed. I think it was better than any of the three present old photograpies. And please note - it was published in Sweden as a "photographical work" (rather than "newspaper") and since the photographer is unknown, Swedish copyright laws allows such pictures to be published after 70 years. And the very last volume of this encyclopedia was printed in 1939. So it is Public Domain at the very least from 1.January.2010. Just the fact that the editors of this encyclopedia chose this photo in order to illustrate football, ought to be of some credit to Chelsea FC. I guess this picture was chosen due to the massive crowd gathered, which appears to be around the attendance record for Chelsea FC, around 80,000. And I can't help thinking that it's the best of the old pictures in this article. (It kind of "says the most" (of our pictures in this article). If someone can explain why it's removed, then I would appriciate the answer very much. Boeing720 (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Correct owners of the stadium.
Hi fellow wikipedians,

I’ve taken the liberty to change the “owners” of Stamford Bridge to “Chelsea Pitch Owners” in the article, as that is correct. Yet I’ve seen in the history log (and saw a wrong edit today) many edits changing the “owners” to “Fulham FC” or something similar, which is a straight lie. I’m getting tired of seeing this, and will not spent every day checking and correcting it. Mails have been sent to the Wikipedia team.

I can verify by source that it’s “Chelsea Pitch Owners” who owns Stamford Bridge; https://www.chelseafc.com/en/cpo and not “Fulham FC” or “Fulham Football Club”. Fulham has NEVER had anything thing to do with the stadium. Furthermore; at the bottom of this link;https://www.chelseafc.com/en/cpo/the-longer-history-and-legal-documents you’ll find 2 legal documents further contributing to my claim about the correct ownership.

Mike “Mikserinho” Christensen.
 * That's not strictly true. I was told that Gus Mears had Stamford Bridge built for Fulham but when they declined to move from Craven Cottage formed Chelsea to use it. But that was a long time ago. Britmax (talk) 21:17, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Britmax; Stamford Bridge was never built for Fulham. Mears made an offer for them to play at the bridge, but after they refused Chelsea came to life. At first it was used as an athletics stadium. “ The ground was opened in 1877, but for first decades only athletics were played here. It was in 1905 that Chelsea was founded by owners of the venue at that time after Fulham refused to move in. ”
 * That's interesting, thanks. Britmax (talk) 22:06, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:The War of the Simpsons

"The Southerner"
One of the plot points in Jean Renoir's 1945 film, "The Southerner" (usually thought of as his most successful American picture), involves a feud between the eponymous poor Southern farmer (or was it his children?) and a neighbor, over who will catch a giant catfish, "old Lead Pencil." If I remember correctly, there may be some dispute in the film whether Lead Pencil really exists. I had always assumed Renoir's giant catfish was one of the inspirations for General Sherman, but can't find any support for this theory at, e.g., SNPP's episode capsule. Does anyone else agree?

re:satanism article
Unfortunately, personal pronouns such as "one," "we," "I" and "you" are inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Are you really that opposed to the change or can I change it back? ♥♥purpl e  feltangel  ♥  ♥  09:27, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, I will do that. ♥♥purpl  e  feltangel  ♥  ♥  20:54, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

thanks!
Hey, thank you for the note! I really appreciate that. As on any volunteer job, acknowledgement is nice indeed.

As you correctly identify, subtle vandalism is the worst. One of those 203. IPs was making minor changes to an article last night which "passed" my first quick check, and I only caught them after I noticed the same IP making obvious vandalism, and then went back and looked at his full recent contribution history. We must be ever-vigilant... Best wishes, and happy editing, Antandrus (talk) 15:18, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
