Sean Gregan

Sean Matthew Gregan (born 29 March 1974) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder or centre back.

He played in the Premier League for West Bromwich Albion, and in the Football League with Preston North End and Darlington where he clocked up nearly 350 league appearances combined for both clubs. He also played in the Football League with Leeds United and Oldham Athletic before moving into non-League football with Fleetwood Town, Kendal Town and Darlington.

Early career
Gregan was born in Guisborough, North Riding of Yorkshire. He started his career with Darlington's youth system, before signing a professional contract on 20 January 1991. He played for them for five years before joining Preston North End. He was signed by Gary Peters on 29 November 1996 for £350,000. He captained Preston to the Second Division title.

West Bromwich Albion
Gregan signed for newly promoted Premier League club West Bromwich Albion on 3 August 2002 on a four-year contract for a fee of £2 million. Pundit Rodney Marsh thought the signing uninspired, and commented that it was "like putting lipstick on a pig". Gregan made his debut against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 17 August 2002. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 home win over Southampton on 14 September 2002, after goalkeeper Paul Jones failed to hold on to Gregan's 40-yard shot. Despite being a regular in the team, Gregan was unable to prevent the club's relegation from the Premier League. In 2003–04, he was instrumental in captaining the team to promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt, before joining Leeds United in September 2004.

Oldham Athletic
His lack of first team football in the 2006–07 season saw Gregan sent on loan on 8 November 2006 to Oldham Athletic of League One until 1 January 2007. He scored three days later on his debut, in a 4–3 win over Kettering Town in the FA Cup.

Gregan left Leeds on 5 January 2007 after reaching an agreement over the remainder of his contract, and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at Oldham three days later. His performance in their 3–0 win away to Walsall on 22 September 2007 earned him a place in the League One Team of the Week.

He was released by Oldham manager Dave Penney after being deemed surplus to requirements on 12 May 2009. However, Penney had a change of heart after being impressed with the player's attitude and fitness levels, and he was soon brought back to the club on a one-year contract. He was later made captain of the team and remained a key feature in defence alongside Reuben Hazell.

Fleetwood Town
Oldham player-manager Paul Dickov stated in October 2010 that he would allow Gregan to leave the club, after he was unable to force his way into the team following an injury at the beginning of the 2010–11 season. Gregan joined Conference Premier club Fleetwood Town on 19 October 2010 on a three-month loan. He left Oldham on 6 January 2011 after having his contract terminated before signing for Fleetwood permanently. He was released at the end of 2010–11.

Kendal Town
Gregan signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Kendal Town on 10 August 2011. He made his debut three days later when starting a 3–0 home win over Worksop Town. He suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon on his second appearance on 21 August 2011 against Matlock Town.

Coaching career
Gregan returned to Darlington on 4 June 2012 as a player-coach, as part of new manager Martin Gray's backroom staff. He was appointed as joint manager of Darlington, alongside Brian Atkinson, on 1 October 2017 for the rest of the 2017–18 season after Gray left for the club's National League North rivals York City. However, the two left the club four days later without having taken charge of a match. With Atkinson also being a director of the Martin Gray Football Academy (MGFA), Football Association rules meant he was unable to hold the Darlington managerial position as the academy's owner was in charge at another club. Gregan turned down the offer of a six-month contract to take over as manager on his own, as he would have had to relinquish his own role the MGFA.

Gregan joined Gray at York in December 2017 as a part-time defensive coach. He took up the full-time position of assistant manager in July 2018 but left the club on 19 August along with Gray.

Honours
Preston North End
 * Football League Second Division: 1999–2000

Individual
 * PFA Team of the Year: 1998–99 Second Division, 1999–2000 Second Division
 * Oldham Athletic Player of the Year: 2009–10
 * Oldham Athletic Players' Player of the Year: 2009–10

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, often called St. Mary's, is an unincorporated community in Sugar Creek Township in northwestern Vigo County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. The community is part of the Terre Haute Metropolitan Statistical Area. A large portion of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods along U.S. Route 150 is taken up by the grounds of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, which contain the motherhouse of the Sisters of Providence as well as Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Although Saint Mary-of-the-Woods is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 47876. It had a population of 797 at the 2010 census.

History
The earliest land records in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods date back to 1825, when George and Polly Smith acquired a land patent signed by Andrew Jackson. It is likely that this was a land grant for military service, as George Smith served as an aide and dispatch bearer to George Washington during the American Revolution. In the following years several other settlers acquired acreage from the United States government. From the Smiths, a Joseph Thralls and his family acquired a significant parcel of land in 1835.

Records from 1838 show a purchase of land transferring from Joseph and Sarah Thralls to Bishop Simon Bruté of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Vincennes for a sum of fifteen dollars. Bruté was concerned with establishing a Catholic mission for the surrounding Terre Haute area and built a small frame church, the first in Vigo County.

In 1840, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin arrived in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods with several companions and found a dense forest with few buildings. There she established the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, a Roman Catholic congregation of women. Originally, the Thralls family provided housing for the sisters.

As the Sisters of Providence grew in number, the town of St. Mary's also expanded. In April 1850, twenty men from the village had left for California in search of gold. Despite this, by 1851, Sister of Providence Sister Saint Francis Xavier wrote, "Now we have quite a little country town... We have in the village a post office, two little inns, three or four stores, wheelwrights, coopers, carpenters, blacksmiths, shoemakers, cabinet makers, etc."

A post office was established under the name St. Mary's in 1846. It was renamed to Saint Mary Of The Woods in 1912, and is still in operation.

Escazú (canton)

Escazú is the second canton in the province of San José in Costa Rica.

The canton lies west of the San José Canton, and its whole territory is part of the Greater Metropolitan Area.

The canton was one of the country's earliest, established on December 7, 1848. As the metropolitan area has expanded Escazú has become a suburban area on the west side of the national capital city of San José. It is delineated by the Río Tiribí on its northern border. The peak of Cerro Cedral in the Cerros de Escazú marks the southern limit of the canton.

Geography
Escazú has an area of 34.49 km2 and a mean elevation of 1,129 metres.

Districts
The canton of Escazú is subdivided into three districts (distritos):

 * Escazú
 * San Antonio
 * San Rafael

Toponymy
The name "Escazú" derives from the indigenous word "Izt-kat-zu", which means "resting stone". The story tells of Indians traveling from Aserrí (south of San José) to Pacaca (near Ciudad Colón), who used to stop and rest at this location, which was about halfway between the two villages.

History
Escazú was first mentioned as a canton in a decree dated 7 December 1848.

The first inhabitants were natives from the Guetaras or Huaca tribes. By 1755, villagers were ordered out of Escazú and moved to San José by force. From 1796 to 1799, the church of San Miguel was built with the cooperation of the people who had already been re-established at this site. By 1801, the population of Escazú reached 1,325. On May 28, 1920, the government of Costa Rica granted Escazú the status of City, head of the Canton (County) of Escazú.

Popular legend tags Escazú as La Ciudad de las Brujas (the City of the Witches), leading to its municipal seal, a depiction of a witch on a broomstick flying over the surrounding mountains. It has been suggested that this reputation stems from the perception of Crypto-Jewish traditions since a large number of Conversos were known to have settled in the area.

Landmarks
Local landmarks in the canton include the Costa Rica Country Club, the Multi Plaza Mall, and, more recently, Avenida Escazú. These new complexes hold some of the world's most luxurious brands in Multiplaza Mall. Escazú is also home to several diplomatic missions, including the residence of the Ambassador from the United States.

Demographics
For the 2011 census, Escazú had a population of 56,509 inhabitants.

The canton's urban areas are home to 79.8% of its population. Children under ten account for 17.88% of the population, while 6.05% are over 65.

According to a 2012 United Nations Development Programme, Escazú ranks as the 4th highest canton in Costa Rica regarding human development.

Road transportation
The following road routes cover the canton: • CR RNP 27.svg National Route 27

• CR RNS 105.svg National Route 105

• CR RNS 121.svg National Route 121

• CR RNS 167.svg National Route 167

Daewoo Gentra

The Daewoo Gentra is an automotive nameplate used by the South Korean automobile brand Daewoo. The marque has utilized the "Gentra" name on two different vehicles—a subcompact model sold in South Korea between 2005 and 2011—and a compact car offered in Uzbekistan by Uz-Daewoo Auto since 2013. The Uzbekistani car was renamed Ravon Gentra in 2015.

South Korea (2005–2011)

The Daewoo Gentra is a subcompact car originally produced by the South Korean manufacturer GM Daewoo between 2005 and 2011. The nameplate was applied to the facelifted version of the Daewoo Kalos sedan (with the Daewoo Gentra X nameplate applied to the facelifted hatchback) and was used only in South Korea and Vietnam, in the rest of the world the model being prominently marketed as the Chevrolet Aveo.

Uzbekistan (2013–2015)

The nameplate has also been used by the Uzbekistan-based manufacturer Uz-DaewooAuto between the middle of 2013 and late 2015 for a version of the first generation of the Daewoo Lacetti, marketed throughout the CIS states. Uzbekistan-made Daewoo Gentras are fitted with a 1.5-liter engine capable of 107 hp paired with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

In October 2015, the Uz-Daewoo brand was replaced with the Ravon brand, thus the model became the Ravon Gentra.

Talk:The 13th Warrior

preman or berserkers?
it has been repeatedly stated that the band of 13 is fighting a group of long hidden neanderthals. but i might make mention of the fact that they do bare(no pun intended) a striking similarity to the viking berserker gangs that, commonly wore the skins of animals, primarily those of bears and wolves, and no armor. i seems likely to me that these men could be a very deranged sect of an already mysterious and crazed warriors, rather than an aborant group of preman beings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manwithbrisk (talk • contribs) 10:16, 30 March 2006

Where do you get references to Berserker "gangs"? I've never seen mentioned other than as individuals, or at most pairs or trios, and in that case, always in the service of a noble chief. Also, maybe the berserkers wore animal pelts (no certitude there) but the wendols are far too well disciplined or organized to have any likeness to berserkers, not to mention that they show neither the battle frenzy, invulnerability, or other traits specific to the Odinic fighters. Their portrayal in the movie as neanderthals is beyond doubt. --Svartalf 12:18, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Except of course for their possession of domesticated [spoiler]s :).

 * From Berserker: "Going berserk — berserksgangr or berserkergang — could also happen in the middle of daily work. ..."
 * —wwoods 16:06, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Arabic/Persian?
In a few places, the main character Ibn Fadlan is described, in a historical context and in a movie context, as speaking or writing Arabic, i.e. "The frame story is adapted from the tenth-century Arabic writings of Ibn Fadlan" and "The language barrier is awkward, as Ahmed only speaks Arabic"--but coming from Baghdad, wouldn't Ibn Fadlan be Persian? I'm afraid I don't know anything about the languages to tell them apart, and the Wikipedia entry for Ibn Fadlan as a historical figure does not shed any light on the topic. And it's very late, so I don't really have the time to research it. :P

I just had figured Ibn Fadlan to be a Persian, not an Arab. Antonio Banderas certainly fits the part physically better. And as I recall, he fights with one of the Norse swords ground down into a shamshir...

--Kuronekoyama 07:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Hold a minute, Baghdad is in Iraq not Iran. Mesopotomia is a Semestic people and civilization, Persia is Indo-European One. Persia took over mesopotomia after the decline of the neo-babylon empire, and kept invading it whenever they were pushed back, until about the 7th century when they were finished. -daniel
 * This section makes little sense. The historical Ibn Fadlan was an Arab, Baghdad (in modern Iraq) was the capital of the Arab Abbasid Caliphate. How exactly Banderas "fits the part" of a Persian rather than an Arab, I have no idea, and is completely pointless. A Czech man plays a Viking in this film as well. FunkMonk (talk) 16:42, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Mattcolville 01:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I removed the odd "Anne Bancroft" reference, as the role of "Oracle - Old Woman" is credited to "Turid Balke" in the IMDB.

Fantasy?
Why is this film in the fantasy genre? It's about an Arabic fellow and a buncha Norsemen beating off more Norsemen in a disappointingly prosaic manner. Jachra 02:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

 * It's a re-imagining of Beowulf. The Wendol aren't a literal "fire-dragon", but they aren't "Norsemen" either.
 * —wwoods 03:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * ...it's a reimaginaing of Beowulf? I've seen some pretty sad reimaginings in my time, but this... ;D  Wh well.  Irregardless, name for me why it should be in Fantasy instead of Historical Fiction. Jachra 00:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

The movie has almost nothing to do with history. What little shreds of historical fact there were in Michael Creighton's work are obliterated, from the moment they are set upon by "Tatars" - who didn't appear on the scene until 3 centuries after ibn Fadlan. This is purely a fantasy work. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 03:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I've just watched this movie for the first time and there are no fantasy elements in it at all. THe 13th Warrior fits into the genre of historical fiction. Yes, there may be some historical inaccuracies in a movie set 1000 years ago. But there was no magic and no monsters. There wasn't anything in this movie that didn't exist in real life. There's nothing to suggest the Wendol were anything other than human. In the novel they were Neanderthals. In the movie there's nothing to suggest that. They looked pretty human to me. I'll remove this movie from the list of fantasy films. 218.215.128.54 12:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Um, Neanderthals riding horses around, caves full of dwarves, and a totally ahistorical setting that is never alleged to correspond to any particular real place qualifies as fantasy. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 19:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

As I mentioned there's nothing in the movie to suggest that the Wendols are Neanderthals. They don't have the large brow ridges that Neanderthals are supposed to have and they seem to be nothing more than Stone Age savages. Near the beginning of the movie we are shown a map that clearly shows that the movie takes place in our world, not a fantasy world. It was even established that Ahmad lived in Baghdad. The Arabs, Norse and Tatars were all real people too. Yes, there's no historical evidence that the Vikings ever fought a tribe of cavemen but that's the 'fiction' part of 'historical fiction'. The fact that a specific date is not given for when the movie takes place does not make it fantasy. 218.215.130.214 01:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC) Oh, and there were no dwarves in the movie. The reason I'm taking this seriously is that I'm a big fan of fantasy/sci-fi films and I watched The 13th Warrior because Wikipedia listed it as a fantasy film even though it's not. I don't want other people to make the same mistake. Have I convinced you or should I declare a RfC? 218.215.130.214 03:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

The dwarf cave appeared in the movie with dwarves visible in the background. The scene also appeared in the book. You do not have consensus for removing the tag, and feeling like you were tricked into watching an execerable movie is not an excuse to remove information from a WP entry. Moreover, you don't "declare" and RfC, you make the request, and if you review the page that describes the procedures you will find that this situation does not call for it, as you have made no real efforts to reach consensus or seek dispute resolution. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 22:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

As I watched the movie, I specifically looked for anything fantasy-related. If there were any dwarves in the movie, I would've seen them. There may have been in the book, it doesn't matter.218.215.136.71 23:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC) To put it simply, to be fantasy a story has to have some kind of phenomenon (usually magic) or creature which is not known to exist in real life. Cavemen and short people are real. 218.215.136.71 00:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Third opinion
Okay, coming here from WP:3. After looking at the article, and the arguments, I think that the Wendol qualify it as fantasy, but thesstory is not really fantasy. So, I think this article should be classified as both historical fiction and fantasy. If you don't like that, please reply, but I think this compromise will work for everyone. ¿SFGi Д  nts!  ☺ ☻ 00:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

The novel Eaters of the Dead is definitely fantasy because the Wendol were explicitly identified as Neanderthals and there were descriptions about how their features differed from humans. But in the 13th Warrior, the Wendol looked human. They could've made them look like Neanderthals by adding big brow ridges to the makeup but they didn't. In the movie the only suggestion that they are not men comes from their behavior of eating people and decorating their caves with skeletons. Either the movie is fantasy or it isn't, there can't really be a compromise in this argument. 218.215.136.71 01:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I've just reread the last part of Eaters of the Dead and it actually says that the Wendol may have been Neanderthals or they may have been an ordinary Homo sapiens tribe. So even the novel is not conclusive. 218.215.136.71 03:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

 * There is nothing, nothing historical about this movie. No attention was paid to any detail of history. It could have been set in Middle Earth with entirely fictional names and been exactly the same story. Borrowing names of historical societies and dropping them willy-nilly into a story does not a historical fiction work make. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 21:53, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a fairly silly argument to make. The definition of fantasy generally includes an understanding that the story involves elements that cannot exist in the real world, i.e., that are "fantastical"--magic, unreal lands, etc. Even an absolute lack of accurate historicity doesn't make a story set in the real world fantasy. This is a slippery slope; to designate this as fantasy because it's entirely historically inaccurate is to open up every piece of historical film to a classification of fantasy. I am removing this tag. Grandpallama (talk) 21:01, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

The "language" scene
I'm surprised nobody has included anything about the pretty famous scene by the campifre when the main character begins to understand the conversation of the vikings. It is quite notable.--Energman 11:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * SCENES. It was clear, rain, clear again. It occured many nights, or what it was trying to show off.

"Viking langauge"
The "Viking language" in this movie is not Norse! Please correct this. It's an old version of modern swedish, but not Norse. Norse is much closer to Icelandic than the dialect spoken in this movie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.225.228.56 (talk) 20:11, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Greek or Latin?
Melchisedek and Herger both definitely converse in Latin, not Greek. When establishing first contact, Melchisedek asks to see the Vikings' king, "basileios" in Greek. Herger only understands him when he uses the Latin word "rex" and then the conversation continues in Latin, including Herger's joke: "Non loquaetur, quia mortuus est" which is translated as "the king will not speak to you because he is dead". --Aquinate (talk) 17:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Is the prayer/litany/death chant/whatever that the Norse recite historic, or was it made up for the movie (or book)? Wardog (talk) 12:55, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Peacock language
Some recent edits have been introducing WP:PEACOCK language into the article. We should try to summarise the facts as plainly as possible. Calling something a "box office disaster" is unnecessarily emotive when "financial failure" is more reasonable in tone and more enclyopedic. Betty Logan (talk) 16:27, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

There was a discussion about merging this page with the Aminolevulinic acid page. The consensus was not to merge it. Someone came along and (acting in good faith) just turned the Levulan page into a redirector to the Aminolevulinic acid page without integrating the Levulan page content into the Aminolevulinic acid page, going against consent, having no discussion, etc. Phedrence (talk) 11:39, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

De Soto National Forest

De Soto National Forest, named for 16th-century Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto, is 518587 acre of pine forests in southern Mississippi. It is one of the most important protected areas for the biological diversity of the Gulf Coast ecoregion of North America.

It is a nationally important site for protection of longleaf pine savannas, pine flatwoods, and longleaf pine forests. More than 90 percent of this ecosystem type has been lost in the United States. The wet pine savannas support rare and endangered plant and animal species, such as the orchid Calopogon multiflorus, gopher frogs, and gopher tortoises. These habitats also have numerous carnivorous plants, particularly pitcher plants; Buttercup Flats has an international reputation in this regard.

This national forest also offers year-round opportunities for outdoor activities, including camping, canoeing, bird-watching, photography, hunting, fishing, and more. There are two nationally significant wilderness areas within DeSoto: Black Creek Wilderness and Leaf River Wilderness. Black Creek is a popular stream for canoeing, camping, and fishing, and is Mississippi's only designated National Wild and Scenic River. Two National Recreational Trails, the Black Creek Trail and Tuxachanie Trail, offer more than 60 mi of hiking opportunities.

The forest headquarters office is in Jackson, the state capital, as are those for all six national forests in Mississippi. The local ranger district office is in Wiggins, which is surrounded by the national forest on three sides: north, east, and south.

De Soto National Forest is located between Hattiesburg and Gulfport, and can be easily accessed by U.S. Highway 49 and U.S. Highway 98. It lies in parts of ten counties. In descending order of land area they are Perry, Wayne, Harrison, Forrest, Stone, Greene, Jones, Jackson, George, and Pearl River counties.

Talk:Samurai Pizza Cats

Theme song notes
In the section, it makes a reference to Andy Thomas. However, the linked goes to a wiki for an astronaut..... I don't think that's the same person? Someone want to make sure it's correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparky-sama (talk • contribs) 15:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've removed the link to the astronaut, but did not find any link to the Andy Thomas we need. Okkusenman (talk) 02:17, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Saying that themes are 'commonly changed today' is dated information. Of the approximately twenty anime showing in the West, three have different songs - not 'common'. Removing unnecessary side note.

Name Change
"Kyattou Ninden Teyandē (KNT) (キャッ党忍伝てやんでえ)"

Just noticed that the translation was wrong. It's Kyatsu (Kyatsu) rather than (Kyatto) assuming the Japanese you have cited there is correct.

This character: "ッ" is pronounced: "tsu" in Japanese

Edit: My mistake. I did not see the pun part. That's quite odd linking a Katakana word with a Kanji....

fix'd

I will ammend the "Teyandee" part however. As the pronounciation would be "deh" rather than "dee" which is confusing for people with little knowledge of Japanese accent

Seperate KNT from SPC
Do you think Kyattou Ninden Teyandee should have it's own exclusive page since both shows are quite different from each other. Sailor Moon's pages uses the japanese names and refrences and also has a seperate page for the english version. We could probably also move things such as the "Video Game" section over their and tell if the series had any manga, CDS, or other media. - B.J. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.110.71.166 (talk) 19:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I think I shall create one now. Kyattou Ninden Teyandee (anime)

Old comments
Samurai Pizza Cats was also broadcast in Australia as well as the other countries listed.
 * I've added this. Bloodshedder 18:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Info on Guru Lou is missing from the article. I'd add it, but I have no idea what he was called in the Japanese version, nor can I figure out what species he's supposed to be. Also missing is a mention of the Supreme Catatonic. Bloodshedder 18:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Guru Lou
The Japanese name of Guru Lou is "Nekomata Reikainosuke" (猫股霊界之介). He's also called "Daisensei"(大先生), that means Great Professor. As you can guess from his name, he's a cat (neko, in Japanese).
 * Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. Bloodshedder 23:08, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Video game
Looks like there was an NES game called Cattou Ninden Teyandee (at least that's the filename of the ROM image), but I'm up for suggestions as to how to work this into the article. Bloodshedder 06:35, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Don't forget the rather rubbish Java game for mobile phones that was available at least in Italy during the time it was airing there. And the many fan-projects, too! I think you could probably add a Video Game section to the main article... --PkerUNO 23:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Cerviche/Ceviche
Isn't Speedy's name a direct reference to Ceviche? The current information states it's a "French version of sashimi" (isn't it actually Peruvian?). The old version of the page had something about it being how "service" is pronounced in Italian (which was totally wrong). --PkerUNO 23:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I find it a little odd that they would connect a character to Peruvian cuisine, but I guess we'll never really know for sure unless someone from the show explained it. Bloodshedder 00:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, they probably needed a pun for "Service", and this was the closest foodstuff they could find... I'm sure there's something about this on an FAQ somewhere on the Internet, I just don't know where! --PkerUNO 23:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Producer Andy Thomas *did* explain it - as Cerviche, a play on "Ceviche." I'm correcting it.Rebochan 07:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, no. You're going to need a cite for that.  "Service" prononced in Italian phonics IS "ser-vee-chay".  That's not totally wrong, you're totally ignorant.  That's also the only way that his name makes sense - as a pun.  "Cerviche" as a play on "Ceviche" has no logic to it.  It's not funny, it's not relevant - it's completely implausible.  What does a marinated raw fish dish have to do with ANYTHING?  Why add the "r"?  The "Ceviche" explination just doesn't add up in any way.  More plausible is that Andy Thomas, as a humorless TV exec, just didn't get the joke (everybody's not familiar with Italian phonics).  On the other hand, "Speedy Service" makes perfect, immediately recognizable sense - and it's satisfyingly clever.  Pronouncing an English word in a European way to make it superficially sound exotic has cache in American comedy (Tar-shay, anyone?).  Pizza's italian, Speedy Service is a common, relevant concept to pizza delivery... This whole thing is a no-brainer.  Naturally, I changed it back. Snackmagic 15:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * While that is correct, it STILL sounds like a foodstuff, and one that might be found ON pizzas, and I still think the ceviche is the correct explanation. Andy Thomas wrote the English scripts, BTW, I'm pretty sure he came up with it. And when was the last time SPC was ever logical? --PkerUNO 22:55, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The puns themselves are generally not particularly opaque, even if there are double meanings. "Service" is rather more logical than "Ceviche"; got a reference? Chris Cunningham 09:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, after reading PkerUNO's profile and seeing that he's a native Italian speaker - I feel silly for calling him "totally ignorant"; but then I'm still confident about my interpretation of the pun. Maybe a pun based on mangling an English word with Italian phonics doesn't work if Italian's your "madrelingua".  I wonder if the French don't think that Tar-zhay (Target) is funny.Snackmagic 16:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't necessarily think that your explanation is wrong, I just think it's a bit more obscure than the previous one. And I'm really sure I remember Andy Thomas explaining it somewhere, I just don't remember where! Also, in the Italian dub they just changed his name to Romeo, dropping the whole "service" surname/dilemma/debacle! Actually, I just did a bit of research and this came up: http://www.angelfire.com/ca/savespc/faq.html - looks like whatever the spelling is, "Service" definitely ISN'T correct. --PkerUNO 08:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've seen that already. It says his name has been spelled in print at least three different ways, including "Service".  Besides the fact that it's just some random, angelfire hosted FAQ, even if you take it seriously, all it proves is that the producers have been sloppy about the whole thing (understandably so.  SPC obviously wasn't going to be hot IP.).  Honestly it just leads me to believe that producer Andy Thomas is clueless and incompetent (or misrepresented by this FAQ), rather than doubt the obvious interpretation of his name.  I'm sorry, but this isn't even an argument.  "Service" makes immediate sense (as an Italian-speaker, do you dispute that "service" read with Italian phonics sounds EXACTLY like "ser-vee-chay"?  No?  Then how is this explanation obscure?).  Ceviche doesn't (a Peruvian marinated raw fish dish that theoretically can be physically placed atop a pizza, but really never is?  Tee...hee?).  What's there to disagree about?Snackmagic 13:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's the official alt.tv.pizzacats FAQ, the one that the vast majority of fans use. And yes, the producers were sloppy, but that site IS one of the most respected sites within the "old" SPC fanbase. Also, to be perfectly honest, if we don't take the producer's word as to what's official or not, then who are we supposed to look to? That's about as official as you can get. The reason why I don't like the italian phonetic argument is that it's too random and too sophisticated for this case. Not to mention that there is no other mention of Italy anywhere near the series (apart from the toy box art), and that "ser-vee-chay" means absolutely nothing in Italian anyway. It would have to be "servizio". Also, Guido is the only character with an Italian name (which could just as easily be Spanish). Fact is, Cerviche does sound like "service", and also sounds like "ceviche", a kind of fish. Cats like fish. Speedy eats lots of them in the series. It seems the simplest explanation. As a final word, I'm not going to continue with this argument, since it seems rather pointless to me to squabble over such a hotly contested name. I'm not going to make any edits to the page regarding Speedy's name, I don't really care. Just remember that it's only the name of a fictional character. :) --PkerUNO 14:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Fine, but I get a last word too. The Italian connection comes from Pizza, which explains Guido Anchovy's name completely (Guido is easily considered an Italian name more than it is a Spanish name in the U.S.  In fact, the name itself is a slur for Italian-Americans (and not latinos)).  It doesn't matter that "service" is meaningless in Italian - that's not what the gag depends on (in fact that's part of the gag).  It just matters that it sounds superficially Italian (again, like "tar-zhay", which is actually meaningless in French).  And we can use our own common sense in this "debate".  The producers are people too, and if they can screw up enough to have his name spelled inconsistently in print, they can screw up the explanation of the name's origin.Snackmagic 15:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

English version of volume 1
Hasn't a US release of volume 1 been available since 2003 on amazon. It seems that it is an English language version. Here is the link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006L1PDY/102-5725618-6272940?v=glance&n=13
 * I doubt it's official. See here: http://members.iimetro.com.au/~mwhitley/pizzacats.htm "Despite not being screened on TV for almost 10 years, Samurai Pizza Cats remains one of the most sort after shows on video. A lot of fans don't know that it was actually released legitimately on video in both the UK and US for a very short time in the early 1990's. In the US an extremely small independent video company called Video Treasures released "Samurai Pizza Cats the movie", which was just a compilation of the first episode "Stop Dragon My Cat Around!" and the two part finale "The Big Comet Caper". A year later another small company, this time in the UK, released another tape with the episodes "Stop Dragon My Cat Around!", "Underground, Underwater, Undercooked", "Kind of a Drag" and "Double Trouble for Princess Vi". Unfortunately that's all that was ever released legitimately in English on video ever. A bootleg DVD from a company called Jade Entertainment surfaced about 2003, but it's just a bad PAL to NTSC transfer with half of one of the episodes missing. Even though it contains some new episodes not available on the two legitimate releases, it's not really worth anybody's hard earned cash." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 38.100.217.249 (talk) 02:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

Mojo Rojo
The page says the series was "produced in 1990 in Japan" and "introduced to western audiences in 1991". The Powerpuff girls page says "created by CalArts student Craig McCracken in 1992" and the original run was "November 18, 1998–March 25, 2005". Then, how can be Mojo Rojo a reference to Mojo Jojo, if Pizza Cats came earlier? Perhaps it's the other way?
 * I think they're completely unrelated, and this is just a coincidence (if that, even). --Crisu 19:09, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

The Emperess
I noticed there's no mention of Princess Vi's mother (SPC40 Princess Vi's Hippy Dippy Mom) in this article. I don't know the spelling of her name, though, but the pronunciation is something to the effect of "Freeta", anyone know? Wa 02:17, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Nevrmind it's Fredia.. >_>; Think she's an important enough character to be mentioned? She did have a whole episode about her. Another unmentioned semi-important character would be Carla. Wa 02:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Pizzicato
Is the actual title of the show, Samurai Pizza Cats, not a pun on the musical term Pizzicato?

 * I don't see the connection. Something tells me it is actually a reference to pizza... Bloodshedder 22:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Japanese reception of English translation
"Even Japanesse fans think the English translation is better. Tatsunoko themselves even said the english translation was "what we should have done in the first place"."

This was added under the Translation section of the article on July 4, 2009. It sounds pretty suspicious to me. As a big fan of the show and someone who has a very basic understanding of Japanese, I often read Japanese webpages and message board postings about the show. Only occasionally does the subject of the translation ever come up, let alone any comparisons of it to the original. And I've certainly never seen anything official from Tatsunoko on the matter. Felineki (talk) 04:19, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Dubious material which isn't sourced can, and should, be removed on sight. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:35, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Video/DVD release
I changed "complete DVD release" to "video" because there is no information about a Japanese DVD set and the Japanese wikipedia also states there is none. And is there really a French video/DVD release? The link is dead and I couldn't find anything about it, but maybe that's because of my poor French. Eginhard (talk) 22:13, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The Japanese video release is actually incomplete, it only goes through episode 20 (source: http://www.pluto.dti.ne.jp/~zumi-fox/teyande/dic/dic-h.htm#video). You are correct in there being no Japanese DVD release. (Petition for DVD release: http://www.tanomi.com/metoo/naiyou.html?kid=8829) The French DVD release consists of two boxsets released by Manga Distribution, each consisting of 26 episodes across 5 DVDs: http://www.manga-distribution.fr/md/index.php?script=fiche_serie&id_serie=630 Felineki (talk) 02:33, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

The DVD section says the ones found on shopping sites like Amazon are believed to be bootlegs. No source has been given. This claim needs a source. 27, May 2010

Added the Licensor section and a question
I just added the Licensor section in the page itself so it could be more legit just like the other Anime Based discussions in Wikipedia. But I got one question, does Saban lost the license of the series in 2001 or 2002 after they sold their libraries to Disney? If so, why? Blackgaia02 (talk) 19:53, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Major Contradiction in article regarding Japanese airdates
Can more knowledgeable editors try to reconcile the airdates? The program template list a one year rage from February 1990 to 1991 while the List of Samurai Pizza Cats episodes list a three month range of September to November 1990. Which is the correct range?--Kencaesi (talk) 17:45, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

 * February 1990 to 1991 are the original Japanese airdates and can be verified from an official source. I'm not sure where the allege "Saban" airdates are coming from. TV.com is being referenced on the episode, but TV.com isn't a reliable source, especially since the Saban episodes were not broadcast until after the original Japanese broadcast. —Farix (t | c) 22:47, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Template:Cleanup-translation
I added Template:Cleanup-translation because of the following reason: The "Japanese version" section looks like the result of google auto-translate of the "スタッフ" section of Japanese Wikipedia article. [Still, some edits were possibly made] For example 川井 憲次 was auto-translated as "Kawai Kenzi". However the correct translation is "Kawai Kenji" (See Kenji Kawai). I have changed this part.

Some Kanji characters left untranslated. Ans some of the translation spund unnatural. For example what is "Toukyou processing station" suppose to mean? Teyandee (talk) 17:31, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

==American adaptation?= That people in the US changed the scripts is not enough to warrant that misnomer, it is not like Power Rangers where original visual content was added, it is a Japanese production and so must be said, FROM THE START.201.240.147.131 (talk) 00:30, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

LUSENET

LUSENET was a free public bulletin board system active from 1995 to 2005.

Created as an experiment by MIT computer scientist and early internet entrepreneur Philip Greenspun, the TCL-based system was named as a punning combination of USENET and luser. Because LUSENET of France allowed anyone to start their own forum for free and did not have banner ads, it became an important alternative to commercial sites run by Yahoo and Google. It was long favored by non-profits and eventually bloggers in the late 1990s, such as one for the unofficial San Francisco History Index, and the popular I Love Music forums.

The system running LUSENET crashed in March 2005 and it is no longer active. The content is frozen as of that date.

The database on this ancient unmaintained Linux machine suffered some sort of ugly failure in early March 2005. Consequently postings have been disabled and moderators are encouraged to move their forums to groups.yahoo.com or some other similar advertising-supported service. The greenspun.com forums were easy to build ten years ago but became difficult to maintain in a world full of spammers, etc. {| class="wikitable"

Is this just a list where anyone who knows their (of others, I suppose) family name's origins add on? That could get rather long and tedious. If this is the case, is it really a useful article? If so, shouldn't this page have links to lists that segregate the names by origin? That would be more efficient. Though, I imagine some names that have evolved will have to refer to their origin page as well.... Considering how many names are in a phonebook, having every single etymology one a list would be quite a daunting thing. I think someone more aware of wiki procedure should review the practicality of this. Garnet avi 15:43, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * After looking up deletion policy, I'm pretty sure this falls under WP:NOT, so I've nominated for deletion accordingly. Garnet avi 16:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * seeing Category:Lists of etymologies (and German family name etymology in particular), we have a lot of similar lists. However, this needs a lot of work, and it cannot aspire to even be a comprehensive list. Seeing that it doesn't cite any sources anyway, I'd say we reduce it to a dab page at present. dab (𒁳) 13:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Today, the staff of the faculty consists of 80 people: 27 of them Doctors of Sciences, 40 Candidates of Historical Sciences, and 5 Doctors of Philosophy. To date, the training of specialists is conducted in a three-stage system: Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate.

Faculty of Philosophy and Political Science
The history of the Philosophy and Political Science faculty dates back to 1947, when the Department of Psychology and Logic was founded, and then in 1949, when the Philosophy and Economics Departments, named after S. M. Kirov, were established at KazNU. The organizer of the Philosophy Department was N. P. Dardikin, a graduate of the Red Professorship Institute of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party. In 1951, the Philosophy and Economics Departments were merged into the Philosophy and Economics Department, with Candidate of Economic Sciences and Associate Professor F. A. Zherebyatiev being appointed as its head. The Philosophy and Economics Department existed until 1954, when it was closed due to the fact that the prerogative of training philosophical personnel was given only to the Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev State Universities.

From the early 1970s, foreign students began to study at the department. The first were 13 students from Cuba, and then there were students from many countries in Asia and Africa. About 400 qualified specialists were trained by the faculty for Cuba, Afghanistan, Laos, Cambodia, Burkina Faso, Mongolia, India, and Pakistan. The faculty was the center of philosophical education in the Central Asian region, in particular, it trained personnel for the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. In 1991, the faculty was divided into the Department of Philosophy and Political Science and the Department of Economics and Sociology.

Higher School of Economics and Business
The Higher School of Economics and Business is one of the oldest divisions of KazNU. The University Faculty of Economics was established in 1949. In 1951, by the decision of the Academic Council of Kazakh State University, the two previously independent Economic and Philosophical Faculties were merged into a single Faculty of Philosophy and Economics. The Faculty of Economics underwent significant changes due to the establishment of the Almaty Institute of National Economy in 1963.

Faculty of Law
In 1955, the Faculty of Law was established when KazNU merged with the Almaty Institute of Law. During its 63-year history, it has trained about 35,000 legal professionals, including judges, prosecutors, law enforcement and public security officers, notaries, lawyers, and jurists. Every year, about 15 scientists and professors of the faculty undergo scientific training in foreign universities and research centers. Over the last 5 years, scientists and teachers of the faculty have published more than 1,000 scientific and educational works.

Faculty of Oriental Studies
Education in Oriental languages (particularly Arabic) at KazNU began in the 1970s. The May 15, 1989 Decree of the Government of the Kazakh SSR merged the Department of History of Asian and African countries and the Department of Arabic language into the Faculty of Oriental Studies, which is currently the country's largest center that prepares highly qualified specialists with the knowledge of Oriental languages. Specialists-orientalists were in demand at the time, as independent Kazakhstan was just being formed, leading to a need for official diplomatic contacts with foreign countries.

Faculty of International Relations
The Faculty of International Relations was established by Decree No. 88 on April 28, 1995 in accordance with the decision of the Academic Council of the university and at the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The faculty is working to prepare highly qualified and competitive specialists in international relations, international law, regional studies and global economics.

Faculty of Pre-University Education
The Faculty of Pre-University Education (FED) was established in 2011 on the basis of being the preparatory Faculty for Foreign Nationals, which was founded in 1985. The university has long maintained close contacts in the field of education with more than a hundred countries around the world. At present, the university continues to develop and improve its international relations. It is steadily integrating into the European educational space.

The faculty has trained more than 7,000 foreigners from more than 100 countries, including representatives of the Kazakh Diaspora from countries abroad, students from international inter-university exchange programs, trainees of foreign companies, embassies, and international organizations. The faculty cooperates with embassies and consulates of different countries, including the United States, Japan, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, South Korea, Mongolia, Spain, Turkey, the People's Republic of China, and Iran.

Since 2001, the department has successfully implemented two presidential programs. Starting from 2001, more than 2000 representatives of the foreign Kazakh diaspora were trained to enter the universities of Kazakhstan, and starting from 2010, more than 420 students from the IRA were trained to enter colleges and universities of Kazakhstan. The faculty is also preparing for comprehensive testing and unified national testing (CTA and UNT).

Talk:William R. Linfoot

Oral Tradition
Arkansas rancher C.L. Collins told me that "Linfoot was the first I ever heard of to put on clinics like Ray Hunt, Clinton Anderson, John Lyons, Craig Cameron, (and others) do today. Linfoot would put on demonstrations where he would ride an unbroke horse in 30 minutes as I recall."

Yorkshire Post Newspapers

Yorkshire Post Newspapers are publishers of the Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Evening Post. They were based at offices in Wellington Street, but in November 2012 they moved to Number 1 Leeds, Whitehall Road, where they took four floors in the managed building Leeds, West Yorkshire. They are ultimately owned by National World.

The company was formed as "Yorkshire Conservative Newspaper Company Limited" in 1865, and published the Leeds Intelligencer (founded 1754) then published as the Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer, before it was renamed the Yorkshire Post (first published on Monday 2 July 1866).

The company acquired the Leeds Mercury in 1923 and merged it with the Yorkshire Post in 1939. The company was renamed "Yorkshire Post Newspapers" in 1969.

The first chairman was William Beckett-Denison, from a Leeds banking family (Beckett's Bank was founded in 1774 and acquired by Westminster Bank in 1921). Successive chairmen were members of the Beckett family until the retirement of Rupert Beckett in 1950.

They also print other local titles, such as the Dewsbury Reporter, Morley Observer and Batley News.

Deanna Favre

Deanna Farago Tynes Favre (born December 28, 1968) is an American author and founder and CEO of the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation. Favre was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, and later became an advocate in the fight against the disease.

Early life and education
Favre was born in Gulfport, Mississippi. She was born to Kerry Tynes when he married Deanna's mother, Ann Tynes. Favre has a sister, Christie, and a brother, Casey. She met Brett Favre while growing up in Kiln; they had attended school together since early childhood, and began dating in high school during her sophomore and Favre's freshman year. After graduating from high school in 1986, she attended community college in Poplarville on a basketball scholarship, subsequently transferring to the University of Southern Mississippi to finish her degree. She graduated in 1994 with a degree in exercise science.

Career
In 2005, she began selling pink Green Bay Packers hats to raise money and awareness for breast cancer, which outsold regular Packers hats during the first half of 2005.

The Deanna Favre Hope Foundation
Deanna Favre created the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation, which supports breast cancer education, women's breast imaging and diagnosis services for all women, including those who are medically underserved. The organization focuses on the needs of underinsured and uninsured women. The foundation has raised around $500,000 as of October 2007. Before starting her own foundation, she ran the Brett Favre Fourward Foundation, which has raised more than $3 million for disadvantaged or disabled children in Wisconsin and Mississippi.

Books

 * Don't Bet against Me (October 1, 2007; Tyndale House Publishers; ISBN 978-1-4143-1907-0) - Favre's autobiography
 * The Cure of the Chronic Life: Overcoming the Hopelessness That Holds You Back (co-authored with Shane Stanford)

Personal life
At age 20, Deanna became pregnant and gave birth to Favre's daughter, Brittany Nicole, on February 6, 1989. As a single mother, she put herself through college while working various jobs, including working for a collection agency.

She moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin to live with Favre in 1995. Their relationship was strained during this time, which may have been related to Favre's newfound fame as an NFL quarterback and his addiction to Vicodin. Deanna said that Favre often ignored her and Brittany, describing him as "loud, rough, and often hateful." Deanna said she considered leaving Favre but worried that his addiction might become worse if she left. Favre, with Deanna at his side, publicly announced his addiction on May 14, 1996. Following his recovery, he credited Deanna as the reason he overcame the addiction.

During his recovery, Favre proposed to Deanna. She was uncertain at first, but agreed when he went to get a marriage license and she was told she needed to come in and sign it. Deanna Tynes and Brett Favre were married on July 14, 1996, at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Green Bay.

In 1999, the couple became estranged over Brett Favre's drinking problem. After she threatened to permanently leave him, he entered rehab for a second time and reportedly has not consumed alcohol since.

Deanna Favre made headlines in October 2004 after being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. As she underwent treatment, she began receiving letters from women throughout the country about how they had been motivated to get breast examinations after hearing her story. Following a lumpectomy and five months of chemotherapy, she made a complete recovery.

Deanna later described her relationship with her husband as stronger than ever. "All the stuff we've been through over the years has molded us into two different people. It's awesome to think where we started and where we are now ... [O]ur relationship has gotten to a much stronger point, a deeper love; we have so much respect and love for each other", she said in an interview. Deanna and Favre's second daughter, Breleigh Ann, was born on July 13, 1999.

On October 6, 2004, Deanna's 24-year-old brother, Casey Tynes, was killed in an all-terrain vehicle accident on the Favres' Mississippi property.

In late August 2005, the Favre home in Hattiesburg was damaged by Hurricane Katrina, though no one was injured. The couple housed 50 family members in their home during the storm.
