Tom McMahon (mayor)

Thomas M. McMahon was the Mayor of Reading, Pennsylvania from January 5, 2004 to January 2, 2012.

McMahon was re-elected mayor in November 2007 for a second four-year term, with 5,847 votes, or 66.5%. He served as mayor until January 2012. McMahon declined to run for a third term.

Biography
McMahon was born in Rochester, New York. He graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in engineering. McMahon then obtained a master's degree in engineering with a minor in political science from Pennsylvania State University. He taught in Bangladesh with the Peace Corps.

McMahon moved to Reading, Pennsylvania, in 1965 and was employed with Gilbert Associates until 1980. He then founded his own engineering firm, Entech Engineering.

McMahon has three daughters, Anne-Marie, Christina, and Rebecca.

Political stances
On July 16, 2006 Mayor McMahon, while attending the 3rd annual International Latin Festival at Reading's City Park, voiced his disapproval of a recent law enacted by the city of Hazelton. The Hazleton law, which allows for a fine of $1,000 if a home is rented to illegal aliens, as well as making English the official language of the city, is according to McMahon not required. He stated that "Reading is proud to hear Spanish spoken in public" and "Aren't you glad this isn't Hazleton?" McMahon observes that "It's a slippery slope for local municipalities to pass laws that are already in place and the feds aren't enforcing".

On August 17, 2006, McMahon made a controversial comment regarding the reason for the construction of The Goggle Works not being for suburban folk and cocktail parties. A couple of days later in a letter to the Reading Eagle, he apologized for the remarks.

McMahon is a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition as of October 2006., a bi-partisan group with a stated goal of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off the streets." The Coalition is co-chaired by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Major systems grant program
On July 25, 2006 Mayor Tom McMahon announced the awarding of the first grant in the City of Reading's in City Hall. The program, a joint venture between the City of Reading's Community Development Department and the Berks County Office of Aging provides grants to senior citizens who are residents and homeowners who are having difficulty providing new major systems for their properties. Major systems are defined as roofing, plumbing and heating systems, chimney repairs, and upgraded electrical systems at the source.

The first award has been given in the amount of $2200.00 to a local senior homeowner who had a major plumbing issue. Barbara Coffin, Executive Director of the Berks County Office of Aging stated that "I am delighted that the Office of Aging has been invited to be the conduit for the City's Major System Grant Program. It is a benefit to be able to provide much needed assistance to our seniors in the community when a major systems failure happens in their housing that they cannot afford." The Agency has recently had forty two applications to the program and Coffin is pleased to see that the program is moving and that eligible applicants are now benefiting.

The Major Systems Grant is a conditional grant program which is reduced yearly by owner residency in the property for a period of ten years. To be eligible for the MSGP, one must be 65 or older, own and reside in their home. Taxes must be up to date and home insurance must be verifiable.

This was a recommendation which came out of the Mayor's Task Force on Housing to continue the Administration's goal to improve housing stock in the City of Reading. "The Major Systems Grant Program is yet another way to enhance and improve the quality of life for our residents and I am pleased that the Community Development team is continuing their dedication to our seniors with this program."

Technology use
Mayor Tom McMahon has what he considers to be a big vision for Reading, including ubiquitous wifi, Internet at the Pagoda.

Mr. McMahon shared some elements of this vision on Berks TV during the first of a 2 part series. A blogger himself, Mr. McMahon also talked about his blog-reading habits and how he uses the Internet for research as part of his job as mayor. He also says he will watch the occasional news video via the web.

Video surveillance
On March 9, 2007, Mayor Tom McMahon discussed how installing video surveillance in downtown could curb crime during his broadcast on From WEEU's monthly series "Ask the Mayor" on "Feedback" with Mike Faust.

Vehicle theft prevention initiative
Mayor McMahon organized a Greater Reading VIN etching event on Saturday, May 19, 2007 at the Fairgrounds Square Mall, just north of Reading. Vehicle thefts have been a problem in the Reading area and this program is designed to help prevent vehicle theft by permanently etching the Vehicle Identification Number on the window glass, making the car harder to sell if stolen. A decal program was also carried out, called HEAT (Help Eliminate Auto Theft) where the vehicle owner gives permission for any law enforcement officer to stop the vehicle and ask for driver identification if it is on the road between the hours of 1:00 am to 5:00 am.

Sewer fund controversy
On May 18, 2010, Mayor Tom McMahon became the center of attention involving a controversy where his administration transferred $11.0 Million Dollars from the public sewer fund to the general fund, an apparent violation of a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice limiting such transfers to no more than $3 million annually. McMahon has consistently denied advance knowledge of the transfer. A subsequent investigation by city council resulted in no information challenging McMahon's position.

Apollo and Daphne

Apollo and Daphne is an Ancient Greek transformation or metamorphosis myth. No written or artistic versions survive from ancient Greek mythology, so it is likely Hellenistic in origin. It was retold by Roman authors in the form of an amorous vignette.

The myth purportedly explains the origin of the laurel tree and its connection to Apollo, although "Apollo was emphatically associated with the laurel before the advent of the Daphne myth." Details vary between different versions, but the beautiful nymph Daphne rejects the love of Apollo and is turned into a tree.

History
The earliest known source of this myth is Parthenius, a Greek poet who lived during the 1st century BCE, however, the most well-known and lyrical telling was by the Roman poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses (I.438–567), a collection of Greek fables first written in 8 CE.

Mythos
Apollo's priestess employed the use of laurel leaves at Delphi and they also became the symbol of victory and achievement as laurel wreaths were given to the victors of the Pythian Games.

Characters
The story generally involves three main players:

 * Apollo (Phoebus) – Greek god of healing, archery, music and arts, sunlight, knowledge, and patron of Delphi. Regarded as a great warrior and as the most beautiful of the gods.
 * Eros (Cupid, Amor) – god of love and sex; also known for his use of bow and arrow. He was often depicted as a winged boy, beginning in the Hellenistic period.
 * Daphne – a naiad (nymph), or huntress of Artemis. Her parentage varies, depending on the source, but it's generally understood that her father is a river god (either Peneus or Ladon) and her mother was either the nymph Creusa or Gaia.

As a Roman, Ovid called the gods by their Roman names (i.e. Jupiter and Juno instead of Zeus and Hera). However, despite the Roman counterpart of Apollo sharing the same name, Ovid switches between calling him Phoebus and Apollo. It would seem that this reference is used when referring to Apollo in his role as sun god, since the name is an epithet of his maternal grandmother Phoibe ("the bright one"), but there isn't agreement among scholars on this.

Ovid's version
Ovid breaks the myth out into five parts, beginning with Apollo slaying the Python and ending with the creation of the Pythian Crown. 'Ovid's Metamorphoses'', tr. Anthony S. Kline''' version of the story translates it in the following way:

Defeat of Python (I:438–472)
Apollo and Daphne's story takes place right after the great snake that terrorized mankind is slain by Apollo. Apollo pierced the Python with 1,000 arrows and then founded the sanctuary of Delphi atop of the Python's dead body. This sanctuary became home to the famous oracle, Pythia, and the sacred Pythian Games were held to celebrate his victory. The winners were, at first, honored with oak wreaths, since the laurel did not yet exist.

Afterwards, Apollo spots Eros stringing his bow and comments:"'Impudent boy, what are you doing with a man's weapons? That one is suited to my shoulders, since I can hit wild beasts of a certainty, and wound my enemies... You should be intent on stirring the concealed fires of love with your burning brand, not laying claim to my glories!'"Eros, angered by Apollo's implication that one god's abilities could be greater or lesser than another's, flies to the peak of Mount Parnassus then draws and fires two arrows: "one kindles love, the other dispels it. The one that kindles is golden with a sharp glistening point, the one that dispels is blunt with lead beneath its shaft. With the second he transfixed [Daphne], but with the first he wounded Apollo piercing him to the marrow of his bones."

Apollo sees Daphne (I:473–503)
Having taken after Apollo's sister, Artemis (Diana), Daphne spurned her many potential lovers, preferring instead to spend her times in the woods, exploring the forest and hunting. Due to her emulation of Artemis, she had dedicated herself to perpetual virginity. Her father, the river god Peneus, demanded that she get married and give him grandchildren. She, however, begged her father to let her remain unmarried; he eventually complies, but tells her that her beauty makes it impossible to prevent would-be suitors from beckoning to her.

As soon as Apollo spots her in the woods he falls in love. His own powers of foresight prevent him from being able to tell the ultimate outcome of his pursuit. He quickly calls and rushes to her, but she immediately flees "swifter than the lightest breath of air and resists his words calling her back again."

Apollo pursues and begs Daphne to be with him (I:504–524)
Despite her not yet knowing who pursues her, Apollo seems to know exactly who she is, calling, "Wait nymph, daughter of Peneus, I beg you! I who am chasing you am not your enemy." He comments that she is running from him as prey would from a predator, but tells her that he is spurred on by love and a desire to be with her, not destroy her, so she should have pity on him. He then says that he is worried that she will be injured in the chase and cause him guilt, so if she slows down he will too, but she continues.

He goes on to finally reveal to her who he is—stating that he's not just some random farmer or shepherd, but rather "Delphi's lands are mine, Claros and Tenedos, and Patara acknowledges me king. Jupiter is my father. Through me what was, what is, and what will be, are revealed. Through me strings sound in harmony, to song." He mentions that, even though he is a master archer and patron of medicine, "an arrow truer than mine, has wounded my free heart! ... But love cannot be healed by any herb..."

Daphne becomes the laurel (I:525–552)
Apollo continually followed her, begging her to stay, but the nymph continued to reject him. They were evenly matched in the race until Eros intervened, urging Apollo on until he is at full speed. He reaches out to grab her, but she manages to escape his grasp and quicken her pace. Eros further assists Apollo by giving him wings, then hangs onto Daphne's shoulders in an attempt to slow her gait.

They were soon within sight of her father's waters. Exhausted, overcome by the efforts of her escape, and sensing that she was about to be caught, she ran toward the banks and cried out, "Help me father! If your streams have divine powers change me, destroy this beauty that pleases too well!" No sooner than the cry left her mouth she felt "a heavy numbness seized her limbs, thin bark closed over her breast, her hair turned into leaves, her arms into branches, her feet so swift a moment ago stuck fast in slow-growing roots, her face was lost in the canopy." She had become the laurel tree.

(19/08) Apollo honors the laurel (I:553–567)
Even in this state, Apollo could not help but love her. He touched the trunk of the tree and could feel her heartbeat. He tried to kiss the bark, but the wood shrank away from him still. In spite of Daphne's clear terror and fervent insistence that he leave her be, Apollo vowed to honor her forever, "We kiss before we burn. You shall be treasured forever as my now precious tree." He says that he will wear her leaves in his hair, will use her wood to make his bow and lyre, and that a crown made of her branches will adorn the heads of royalty and champions of game and battle.

Apollo also used his powers of eternal youth and immortality to render Daphne evergreen, "you also will wear the beauty of undying leaves." The laurel bowed her branches, her leaves seemingly shuddered in surrender. She does not wish to burn with him.

Apollo and Daphne in art
Two stone dishes from present-day Pakistan (the ancient region of Gandhara) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art have been associated with the Apollo and Daphne myth. Their dating is controversial, with the most recent publication using the date 1st century B.C.

Like the Apollo and Daphne frescoes from Pompeii (such as the one illustrated above), the Gandharan dishes do not depict "the kind of full-blown, full-flight transformational image based on Ovid that is so familiar from Renaissance, Baroque, and later art," because they reflect earlier sources.

On the basis of surviving Roman frescoes in which Apollo serenades a woman, Peter E. Knox believes there was a lost version of the myth in which “Apollo first attempts to woo the maiden with song before he becomes violent.” Ovid's version of the myth is the earliest one to include Cupid, and he probably invented the arrow that makes Daphne despise Apollo. Instead of a chase concluding with a transformation initiated by a paternal water god, pre-Ovidian versions might have used a substitution, with Daphne swallowed up by the earth (her mother Gaia).

The Daphne Ewer, a gilded glass vessel, probably from Antioch, c. 175–225, (Corning Museum Of Glass, Corning, New York) has Greek letters that identify the protagonists of the scene, which point to an Eastern literary source.

Apollo and Daphne, a 5th–6th century A.D. ivory relief from Egypt (Ravenna, Italy, National Museum) features a musical Apollo who is serenading Daphne. Thus it also seems to reflect Knox's “Song of Apollo,” the lost literary account. At the same time, it is also a Christianized version of the myth.

Renaissance artists such as Antonio del Pollaiuolo and his brother Piero drew inspiration from Greek mythology in a number of their works. In Piero Pollaiolo's painting Apollo and Daphne (National Gallery, London), both protagonists are shown dressed in Renaissance garments, endowing this version of the theme with a courtly character. Here again, the myth has been Christianized: as Daphne turns into the laurel tree, virtue and chastity triumph.

The Mannerist artist Andrea Meldolla, called Schiavone, made a strange Apollo and Daphne etching (c. 1538–40, Metropolitan Museum of Art) in which one of Daphne's legs sprouts roots directly from her father's body. In a small painting by Schiavone from c. 1542–44 (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna), Daphne has both of her feet on her father’s body (though they are not sprouting roots).

Between 1622 and 1625, Gian Lorenzo Bernini helped to inaugurate the age of Baroque sculpture with his life-sized marble statue Apollo and Daphne (Borghese Museum), which is arguably the most remarkable, influential, and impressive version of this theme. Apollo clutches Daphne's hip, catching her in flight, just as her father answers Daphne's pleas to save her from her pursuer. Apollo wears a laurel crown, while Daphne begins her metamorphosis into the laurel tree. Her flowing hair and her extended fingers sprout twigs and leaves that are so thinly carved that they have astonished visitors since the sculpture was first unveiled. Meanwhile, roots descend from her toes and a tree trunk begins to sheath her torso.

The Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin also produced more than one work on the subject, most of which have meditative, solemn characteristics. This is especially true of the 1625 version of the painting (Alte Pinakothek, Munich) which compresses the entire story into one scene. Sculptor Massimiliano Soldani Benzi drew from Bernini's masterpiece to create a smaller, terracotta version of the pair in c. 1700 (Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio).

The Rococo artist François Boucher made a chalk drawing of Apollo and Daphne (c. 1730s, private collection) in which one of her feet rests on her father's body as her arms blossom into branches and leaves. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo did two oil versions of this subject (Louvre Museum, 1741, and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., c. 1755–60). In both paintings, Cupid hides beneath Daphne's garments while her hands sprout leaves.

It has been argued that The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is a painting symbolic of the kissing of Daphne by Apollo at the moment she is transformed into a laurel tree, though Klimt's own biographers make no mention of this story being an inspiration for the work.

John William Waterhouse's Pre-Raphaelite style Apollo and Daphne, 1908 (private collection), features a Daphne in the guise of one of his typical femme fatales.

Meret Oppenheim's Daphne and Apollo (1943, Lukas Moeschelin collection, Basel) has both Daphne and Apollo undergoing a metamorphosis, which reflects the artist's interest in androgyny.

Milet Andrejevic, a Yugoslavian immigrant to the U.S., set his Apollo and Daphne (1969, Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence) in New York's Central Park.

Boris Vallejo, the Peruvian-born fantasy painter, based his Daphne and Apollo (1989, private collection) on Arnold Schwartzenegger and Sandahl Bergman, the warrior queen Valeria from the film Conan the Barbarian (1982).

Ivan Bubentcov, a Russian painter influenced by Tom of Finland, made a queer version of the Apollo and Daphne myth by synthesizing it with the Pygmalion story.

The Apollo and Daphne theme has appeared in many forms within popular culture, including tattoos, cake icing, and jewelry. Heather Roblin's “Daphne & Apollo fingertips” (2013) permit any woman to sprout leaves from her fingertips.

Alexa Davalos

Alexa Davalos Dunas (born May 28, 1982 ) is an American actress. Her early role as Gwen Raiden on the fourth season of the TV series Angel (2002–03) was followed by other television roles and some Hollywood films, including The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) and Defiance (2008). In the late 2010s, she starred as Juliana Crain, the main character in the Amazon Studios series The Man in the High Castle. She also played Special Agent Kristin Gaines in the CBS drama series FBI: Most Wanted (2021–2023).

Early life
Davalos was born in Paris, France to American parents, photographer Jeff Dunas and actress Elyssa Davalos, granddaughter of actor Richard Davalos. Davalos spent most of her childhood in France and Italy, before settling in New York. She has stated "I tend to curse in French more often than I do in English."

She is of Spanish and Finnish descent on her mother's side. Her father's family is Jewish (her paternal ancestors lived in Vilnius in Lithuania). She was raised "without much religion", though she attended Hebrew school for a time.

Davalos struck out on her own at seventeen and moved to New York City. She supported herself by modeling for photographers like Peter Lindbergh. "I had a mission," she recalls. "I wanted to be out in the world, doing my own thing. Working in a theatre, I discovered that I really wanted to act." Her passion soon grew towards acting, and she attended the Off-Broadway Flea Theater in New York. She kept her acting plans from her family until her career started to take off.

Career
In 2002, Davalos co-starred with Charlie Hofheimer in the short film The Ghost of F. Scott Fitzgerald, which screened at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival. She appeared as the superhuman Gwen Raiden in the television series Angel for three episodes, with which she nevertheless attracted attention. In September 2003, she was seen opposite Antonio Banderas in the HBO film And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself. Davalos' breakthrough was in the 2004 science fiction film The Chronicles of Riddick, where she also made her feature film debut.

Davalos continued to act in Hollywood films. In 2007, she was featured in the romantic drama Feast of Love, which starred Greg Kinnear and Morgan Freeman. She also played Sally in The Mist (directed by Frank Darabont), co-starring Thomas Jane, Laurie Holden and Marcia Gay Harden. In 2008, Davalos co-starred as the love interest of Daniel Craig in the war film Defiance, directed by Edward Zwick. Her performance was praised by critics. Davalos played Andromeda in the remake of Clash of the Titans, alongside Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson. The film received poor reviews but was a financial success. She did not return for the 2012 sequel, Wrath of the Titans, due to a scheduling conflict.

In addition to her film roles, she also continued to appear in television series, including Reunion (2005–2006) and Mob City (2013). In the latter, she played the female lead and reunited again with Frank Darabont. However, these television series were short-lived. In 2015, Davalos started acting in The Man in the High Castle (2015–2019), an Amazon Studios series based on the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name. Starring as Juliana Crane, the main character of the series, she played the biggest role of her career up to that point. She then made a brief appearance in The Punisher, along with star Jon Bernthal; both of whom were also in Mob City. In the early 2020s, Davalos had a regular role in two seasons of the CBS crime series FBI: Most Wanted as Special Agent Kristin Gaines.

Personal life
Davalos is a close friend of actresses Amanda Righetti and Chyler Leigh, and was Righetti's bridesmaid at her wedding. Davalos considers herself to be a "dork" and loves to travel and read. She guards her private life stating, "I think it's a choice. I think it's a conscious choice, and what you allow to affect you and what you don't."

Davalos married actor Josh Stewart on May 19, 2019. Both were costars on the second season of the Netflix series The Punisher.

Beaver Stadium
Hi Sebas87, I saw that you uploaded an image of Beaver Stadium. I'd like to verify that the image is properly tagged -- namely, do you know who took the picture, and if they said it could be used for any purpose? I'm planning to get a picture of Beaver Stadium soon, which I will license with the creative commons license, but if that image just came off of a website (I seem to recall seeing it before), then it's not acceptable for use here unless the person who took it agreed to release it. --Spangineeres (háblame)  03:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Image:Oldtrafford.jpg
Hi Sebas87!

I would like to take the picture for the german article. For that reason I need to know under which licence the picture has been released. The problem is that in the german wiki it is not allowed to integrate pictures under the fair use licence. That makes it hard to find good pictures. Feel free to edit my text to make real english out of it --Carlos-X 17:19, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

images
G'day Sebas,

I notice you've been uploading a lot of football-related images to Wikipedia. Now, the images look absolutely fantastic, and we always need more photos for football-related articles. However, I'm not sure we're allowed to use them.

Any images not in the public domain must be in one of two categories to be usable on Wikipedia: free (that is, compatible with the GFDL) or fair use. Really nice-looking photographs belonging to news agencies probably don't qualify for "fair use" in this instance, and you've provided no evidence that the images are free. News agencies have been known to get upset with people who violate their copyrights; if you can't provide evidence that we're allowed to use this images, they'll be deleted in no more than seven days from now.

Cheers, fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Ronaldo7.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ronaldo7.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Qwghlm 13:02, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:06039AD.pdf
Thanks for uploading Image:06039AD.pdf. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags.

Image:Owenpuma.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Owenpuma.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Fair use rationale for Image:Argentina-boca-juniors.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Argentina-boca-juniors.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 00:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Argentina-boca-juniors.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Argentina-boca-juniors.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:30, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rose (color)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it.

The result of the debate was KEEP. -Splash talk 18:29, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Rose (color)
All of the colour articles were subject to a blanket AfD here. This was closed as a delete all, although the talk page for that AfD was tabulated otherwise. VfU opted to undelete all the articles and give them seperate AfDs (see the bottom of VfU for my reasoning on this). So here they are.

No comment from me. -Splash talk 00:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep for all the reasons that there was no consensus to delete this one in the earier AfD - even if some of the current material needs to be scrapped, rose is definitely a notable color. -- BD2412 talk 00:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I voted delete all up top, and I would still delete this one. Surely, this would be better if just included in the Rose article, its not like theres a lot of information here is there? - Hahnchen 00:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * That's the point, Jonathunder. Roses, as flowers, can be many colors, even blue nowadays, but Rose, as a color, refers to a particularly vivid, emotive, highly literarily notable shade of red. Xoloz 08:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge and/or redirect to terra cotta, currently a very short article which should contain information on the color of the material and its use in art, architecture, and design for that very purpose. -- BD2412 talk 00:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * This shade looks much like red ochre to me. Here we see the problem: all these colour stubs are unreferenced 16-bit RGB triplets. Delete this one. Pilatus 00:55, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, if it's merely redirects (since there's nothing verifiable to merge), the RGB triplets would disappear, so that should not be a concern. -- BD2412 talk 01:03, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Also a notable color. Sometimes identified with PMS 160 or even PMS 174, but these are to dark. Go with Canada Post and say PMS 470 (or amongst the extended four digit set, PMS 7413). Note that Canada Post would stop working without the color terra cotta, see . Keep --Pjacobi 00:57, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, color of a thing. Gazpacho 01:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, or merge to terra cotta. Cursive 02:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to terra cotta per BDA. Xoloz 05:33, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redirecting would be pointless, as there are so few articles that link there.  Simply changing the link for the one article that links to Terra cotta (color) to Terra cotta would make much more sense and would help with future use of the term.  What I'm saying is that if there is nothing verifiable to merge and the page is simply going to be turned into a redirect, there would be little necessity for the page, as it is just more complicated to link to the redirect than it would be to link to the article it redirects to. -Nameneko 06:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirecting is also useful in preventing future accidental recreation of an article. Although it is much more likely someone would search without the qualifier, if they do, this will prevent them from being given the oh-so-tempting "write-me" redlink.  Besides, they're cheap. Xoloz 06:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Redirect.  However, when merged, the color portion shouldn't go overboard.  We don't need information on "dark terra cotta" or "pale terra cotta" or "aquamarineish terra cotta with a hint of magenta-cyan", just the color "terra cotta".  -Nameneko 22:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * True story - one of the secretaries at my work came to my office to show me the choices of tile she might put in her patio, and she said, "I'm between the red and the terra cotta" and I jumped up from my chair and went, "Aha!" - she must've thought I was crazy. -- BD2412 talk 01:54, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with terra cotta and redirect. Do not keep as a separate article. Jonathunder 07:05, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tomato (color)

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Tomato. This is the only one of these that is at all difficult to call. We're just about over two-thirds to delete on numbers, and I don't honestly understand why people think this is useful as a redirect given the vast unlikeliness of anybody thinking to search for it, parentheses and all. However, given how clear the other debates were, and the vascillation by Tim Pope, I'll say there's not outright consensus to delete and will apply the redirect. RfD may feel differently if someone wants to try that. -Splash talk 18:27, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

All of the colour articles were subject to a blanket AfD here. This was closed as a delete all, although the talk page for that AfD was tabulated otherwise.

Talk:Defense (military)

Er, why have you spelt defense wrong?
Not sure what has gone on here, but this is pretty piss poor for an encyclopAEdia (yes you've also spelt this incorrectly.)

Don't give me any bullcrap about american/british differences. English is called English because it is the language of England; our spellings are correct!

Oh shut up.

 * Blimey, I unanimously agree with you, mate :-)
 * However, the policy thinks otherwise (Manual_of_Style), and we must respect it here... --Alexander Ivashkin 20:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not really spelt wrong, just there are two ways. defense(US Spelling) or defence(International Spelling). If the article makes it clear then there is some understanding on why such articles appear spelt 'wrong' to many. ChessCreator (talk) 11:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I should point out that as defence is the worldwide spelling of the word then that should be used, since the entire world uses said spelling. Defense refers solely to the US, and is therefore unrepresentitive of the rest of the world. --J.StuartClarke (talk) 15:44, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There is an International/worldwide spelling? Who says? --64.149.41.29 (talk) 21:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Nonsense. US English spelling is used in the Philippines, for example. We are following Wikipedia's guidelines on English spelling. Please find the appropriate chat group to discuss this further. —Michael Z. 2008-06-21 21:27 z

England didn't invent that many English words, British English is only another variation of countless "incorrect" pronunciations of countless other languages, it hardly holds a copyright on its mispronunciations and misspellings of other languages. 75.164.122.245 (talk) 23:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Stub?
Does this really merit Stub Status?

 * I'd say so. It doesn't even mention a lot of important aspects of defence warfare including particular defensive tactics, fortifications and equipment, considerations at the operational and strategic level, Cold-War "strategic defence", counterattacking, and the defence throughout history.

 * By the way, there is a major gap in that we have no article about the military attack. —Michael Z. 2007-07-29 20:43 Z

If the title is "Defense"...
Why is it referred to as "defence"? I say we should change it to American spellings, as is the title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.116.250.51 (talk) 02:03, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Dick Gephardt

2004 Race
Anyone know for certain that Gephardt's announcement was January 5, 2003? I recall it being later than that (February)

 * Also, did Gephardt win no delegates in the Iowa Caucuses? I thought he picked up a few. TMS63112 00:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I added a tag noting that the information in the "2004 Presidential Race" section does not cite any references. Some of the information, especially about Gephardt and Dean, could cause some problems if it's untrue. Someone please back these claims up! Ball&Chain 15:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Abortion quote 1986
There seems to be some confusion of when - some sources say 1977 - he wrote those remarks, but it's pretty clear he did make those remarks. They show up in a summary of his congressional papers stored at the Missouri Historical Society.

Gay marriage position
The citation for him still opposing gay marriage is no longer working (links to some completely unrelated page), however a quick web search did find references to the piece that support the claim. However, this article in [[The New Yorker] ] suggests he has changed his views: "The most prominent example of this is Cheney, who has been a longtime supporter of gay marriage, as is the former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt, who also has a lesbian daughter." I'm not sure, however. HoboMcJoe (talk) 03:01, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Larry Combs

Larry Combs (born December 31, 1939) is an American clarinetist and educator.

Early life and education
Combs was born in South Charleston, West Virginia. He received a bachelor of music degree with distinction as well as the Performer's Certificate in 1961 from the Eastman School of Music where he studied with Stanley Hasty. He later studied with Leon Russianoff in New York from 1962-1965.

Career
Combs played clarinet with the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and the Santa Fe Opera before joining the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1974. He was appointed principal clarinet of the CSO by Sir Georg Solti in 1978. He has appeared as a soloist with the orchestra on many occasions. He retired from the CSO following the 2007–2008 season to spend more time teaching clarinet students at DePaul University. He retired from DePaul in 2018. He is also a founding member of the Chicago Chamber Musicians in 1986. He has performed the Brahms Clarinet Trio with Daniel Barenboim and cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and has appeared at the Ravinia Festival with its music director, Christoph Eschenbach. Other appearances have been with The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Smithsonian Chamber Players. + He is also a founding member of the Chicago Chamber Musicians. Combs is also a jazz aficionado. His Combs-Novak Sextet is one of the headliners at the 1999 Chicago Jazz Festival; he cut an album with jazz clarinetist Eddie Daniels, called "Crossing the Line"; and the Chicago Reader's Ted Shen wrote that he is "a Benny Goodman-like chameleon who can execute breathtaking arabesques and add a touch of eloquence to the plainest phrase." He was a clinician for the G. Leblanc Company, which made the Opus II clarinets he helped to design, and the Larry Combs models of clarinet mouthpieces.

Personal life
Combs is married to Gail Williams, a horn professor at Northwestern University and retired associate principal horn of the Chicago Symphony.

Fire engine red

Fire engine red, also known as fire truck red in North America, is an informal name for an bright red commonly used on emergency vehicles in many countries on fire service vehicles, such as fire engines. The name does not refer to any particular shade of red; different fire services may have their own specifications. Bright red has long been used on fire vehicles, but not all of them.

Background
Traditional fire departments in large U.S. central cities and major metropolitan areas use this color on fire engines, but many suburbs and smaller cities use the color lime or bright yellow for their fire engines because of its greater visibility at night. In the U.K. the fire service added the more visible Battenburg markings in fire-engine red and retro-reflective yellow, often on a predominantly red vehicle.

Initial research into fire appliance visibility was conducted by the Lanchester College of Technology and the Fire Brigade in Coventry, in the UK in about 1965. It concluded that under the range of artificial street lighting in common use at the time, yellow better retained its conspicuity than red. Yellow was also more conspicuous in general road conditions in the daytime and during inclement weather. Research conducted by Stephen Solomon, a New York optometrist, promoted the use of "lime yellow" in the United States from the mid-1970s. Solomon conducted studies of the rate of vehicle accidents involving fire apparatus, concluding that the more conspicuously colored fire apparatus suffered a lower accident rate than the less conspicuous red used by the same fire department.

Further research supporting the use of yellow for all emergency vehicles was published in 1978 in Australia.
