Brookmans Park

Brookmans Park is a village in Hertfordshire, southeast England, known for its BBC transmitter station.

Brookmans Park railway station, on the East Coast Main Line, is operated by Great Northern. It is also a waypoint used in air navigation by Heathrow Airport.

Miss Muffet
Local legend has it that "Little Miss Muffet" of the nursery rhyme was Patience Moffat, daughter of entomologist Dr. Thomas Moffat (possibly Moffett or Moufet), who lived in the area from 1553 to 1604 on a farm. He had invited a poet over for Christmas. During his stay he overheard Miss Moffat tell her father of how she was eating her curds and whey when a spider came down from the ceiling and frightened her. The poet made an alteration to the name Miss Moffat and wrote the rhyme. However, the traceable origins of the rhyme are murky, as it did not appear in a printed version until 1805. The local connection is celebrated by the inclusion of a spider's web in the badge of Brookmans Park School.

Gobions Estate

Gobions estate was transferred to John More in 1397: the house renamed More Hall. Sir John More became the owner. Edward VI gave this estate to the future Queen Elizabeth 1 in 1550 by and it was returned to the More family by Mary Tudor in 1553.

Gubbins mansion stood north of Gobions Pond where the back gardens of The Grove meet the wood. More Hall later became known under many names such as Gobions. Its name has varied over the centuries and through many ownerships.

It had reverted to Gubbens in the 17th century followed by Gubbins in the 18th. Originally the name came from Sir Richard Gobion in the twelfth century. The Gobions mansion was of such a fine quality with pleasure grounds designed by Charles Bridgeman, that it was visited by royalty. Now, virtually none of it remains, just a few scattered ruins.

The Brokemans
The Brokemans known as "Manor of Mimmshall" owned by John Brokeman (died 1415). Where the name Brookmans Park originated.

The Gaussen family arrived in 1786, when Peter Gaussen bought the Brookmans estate for his son Samuel. In 1838 the Gaussens demolished the Gubbins manor house (he owned both houses and was jealous that Gobbins was better than his other, Brookmans).

In 1891, while the family were away on a holiday cruise, Brookmans Manor burned down, caused by a "painter using a blow lamp for exterior redecoration". Robert George Gaussen then had the stable block, now the Brookmans Park Golf Club House, of the estate converted to his home.

In 1662 Peter Sambrooke purchased Nashes, alias Moffits, Farm. After the Great Plague Peter demolished the old farmhouse replacing it with Moffats House.

Folly Arch
Folly Arch, a local landmark visible from Brookmans Park, north of Hawkshead Road between Brookmans Park and Potters Bar, was erected as one of the entrances to the Gobions estate as part of Charles Bridgeman's garden design for Sir Jeremy Sambrooke c. 1740 It is a Grade II* listed building.

The remains of a track can still be seen in the fields between Folly Arch and Gobions Wood, where there had previously been an avenue of lime trees leading from the arch to Gobions wood. These were destroyed during WWII by the farmer who owned the fields. The track then passes through the woods, crossing Ray Brook by means of a brick bridge which is now ruined but was usable as recently as the 1960s.

Birth of a village
In 1923 land from the Gobions Estate was bought by the White/Calder building syndicate who formed Brookmans Park (Hatfield) Ltd, to construct a commuter village. The London & North Eastern Railway built Brookmans Park Railway Station in 1926. Around the same time an 18-hole golf course was built on the land and the house, converted from stables, became the golf club. The BBC set up its transmitter station on the border of Brookmans Park and Bell Bar in 1929. In the late 1930s there was a building spree: 55 in 1936, 60 in 1937 - in Uplands Drive, The Grove, Kentish Lane and Westland Drive. 106 in 1938 and 52 in 1939. Householders protested against the building of bungalows, in Georges Wood Road and Pine Grove, as they would depreciate the value of their properties. The compromise was the 'Bungalette' with a veranda style front porch supported by Tuscan columns, which can be seen in Georges Wood Road today. In 1946 150 houses and 50 smaller dwellings (bungalows) were approved for Westlands Drive and Peplins Way. This continued with another 100 between 1947 and 1950 in Peplins Way, Westland Drive, Oaklands Avenue and the Bluebridge area, to make the residential village we know today.

Brookmans Park Primary School was built as the village grew opening in 1951 for the first 110 pupils.

Second World War
The London Blitz resulted in children being evacuated to Brookmans Park.

In 1940 the first 1000lb bomb was dropped on Queenswood’s hockey field in Shepherd’s Way.

Brookmans Park was on the Outer London Defence Ring. These defences included spigot mortar emplacements near the Brookmans Park transmitting station and one together with tank traps protecting the Station Road railway bridge.

British Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, on 21 May 1942 stood on Brookmans Park Station Platform to welcome his Russian counterpart the Russian Peoples' Commissar for Foreign Affairs Vyacheslav Molotov and Russian delegation. They were whisked off to Chequers leading to the signing of the Anglo-Soviet Treaty of 1942.

Gobions Open Space
The Gobions Estate was an ancient private estate that flourished on merchant wealth near the village of Brookmans Park from the 14th to 18th centuries. The estate's lands now serve the community as a nature reserve and open space. It was owned by the now-defunct Gobions Woodland Trust. The nature reserve is now managed by the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust as Gobions Wood, and another part as Gobions Open Space. It lies close to the Great North Road, adjacent to the village.

In 1956 North Mymms Parish Council acquired the land and the lake now known as Gobions Open Space, rescuing it from potential development. Twenty-nine years later in 1985, householders in the parish subscribed to a fund that helped the Gobions Woodland Trust buy the large remainder of the estate.

Public Transportation
Brookmans Park railway station serves the village of Brookmans Park in Hertfordshire, England. The station is located 14 miles 37 chains north of London Kings Cross on the East Coast Main Line, on the stretch between Finsbury Park and Hatfield.

The station was opened by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) on 19 July 1926. The station has four platforms in total, two island platforms on both sides, but only platforms 1 & 4 are used regularly, platforms 2 & 3 are only used during line disruption or engineering work. The west side serves northbound services and another island platform serving southbound services which lies to the east. The station car park parallels the island platforms to the east. As of 2021 this station accepts contactless payment and paper tickets, but not Oyster cards. Services are operated by Great Northern to Moorgate.

There are approximately 102 trains departing from Brookmans Park station on a Typical Weekday:

 * The first train departs Brookmans Park station at 04:09
 * The last train departs Brookmans Park station at 00:37

The Village is also served by a number of bus routes such as the 610, 242 and 305 operated by Uno and Metroline respectively.

Brookmans Park transmitting station
The Brookmans Park transmitting station, is situated Northeast of Brookmans Park on the A1000 Great North Road between Potters Bar and Hatfield in Hertfordshire. The transmitter played a crucial part in the history of broadcasting in Great Britain, as the first purpose-built twin transmitter station in the world capable of broadcasting two radio programmes simultaneously when it was completed in October 1929.

It also played a part in the early development of television broadcasting. On 30 March 1930, experimental television tests were made there using thirty-line pictures. These constituted the first public transmission of simultaneous sound and vision in Great Britain. The station transmitted television broadcasts, during hours when BBC radio was off the air, until 1935.

The tower has twice blown down, and according to villagers' reports: it interferes with TV and radio transmissions; causes automatic garage doors to open of their own accord and causes radiators, telephones, toasters and waste bins to "play music".

It can interfere with DSL broadband modems, and an additional RF (radio-frequency) filter needs to be placed in the incoming line of houses near the transmitter to avoid high error rates.

Brookmans Park is also home to a VOR beacon, used by airliners arriving and departing London airspace, and affectionately known by pilots and air traffic controllers as 'The Park'.

Brookmans Park School and Chancellor's School
Brookmans Park has its own primary school, Brookmans Park School and secondary school, Chancellor's School. Both are popular with parents, both locally and from across the region and are known for consistently high standards of education at all age levels, according to OFSTED reports.

Brookmans Park School, opened in 1952, situated in Bradmore Way in the village of Brookmans Park. The school itself has a large playing field. In the late 1950s the PTA raised enough money to build an open air swimming pool, in the school grounds, where the school children learn to swim and pass distance swimming certificates. This pool has now been filled in.

Nearly twenty years after the Education Act was passed in 1944 and thirteen years after the site was first designated in 1950 the search and purchase were completed. The sense of the urgent need for the school can be seen from the fact that in less than eighteen months the first pupils would cross the threshold of Chancellor's School and turn the plan for a secondary school for the children of the villages in the area into reality.

The Brookmans
The Brookmans Park Hotel was a privately owned hotel situated in the centre of the village, with a pub and restaurant popular with local residents. The hotel was built in the 1930s in a Mason's style with high pitched ceilings, skylights, wood panelling, carved Mason symbols and a large stone fireplace. The hotel was often used for wedding banquets and other local functions. It had six hotel rooms available to guests, making it the only hotel in the area. Martin Chivers ran the Brookmans Hotel from 1983 to 1996.

The Brookmans Park Hotel was taken over by a national brewery chain in July 2006. After extensive refurbishments it reopened in April 2007 as The Brookmans pub and restaurant. The restaurant section was expanded by knocking down the wall between the main bar and old function room; and was noticeably more upmarket than The Brookmans Park Hotel had been. Along with dropping 'Hotel' from its name, the hotel business was closed and a deli business, Oaks Deli, took over what used to be the pool room in the old public house. Prior to having been a pool room, it was a wine bar called "Oaks", perhaps explaining the naming. In summer 2011 The Brookmans was taken over by Peach Pubs and after a refurbishment and menu overhaul reopened in October of the same year.

Brookmans Park Golf Club and Lawn Tennis Club
Brookmans Park Golf Club is adjacent to Chancellor's School, just off Brookmans Avenue. It is a popular golf club for local players, possessing a full 18-hole course, deemed quite challenging by players locally.

The Brookmans Park Lawn Tennis Club, on Golf Club Road, is another popular sporting facility for local players. It possesses four floodlit artificial grass courts, and two macadam courts. It regularly participates in local and regional tournaments.

Churches
Brookmans Park is in the Church of England Parish of North Mymms, served by St Mary's Church in North Mimms Park. In 1948 the squash court in (now No 48) Moffats Lane became a chapel - St. Michael and All Angels.

It is served by the Roman Catholic parish of Hatfield which has a Chapel of Ease (St Thomas More) in the neighbouring village of Welham Green.

After meeting in a shop from 1942, a hut was built in Oaklands Avenue to house the Congregational Church congregation in 1948 which is now the car park of the current United Reformed Church that replaced it in 1960.

Music and dance

 * Tracey Thorn (born 1962) Everything but the Girl singer and songwriter was born in Brookmans Park.

Politics, nobility and royalty

 * Grant Shapps (born 1968) ex-Conservative MP for Welwyn Hatfield lives in Brookmans Park.
 * John Somers, 1st Baron Somers (1651-1716) Whig politician spent his later years in Brookmans Park.

SS Southern Cross (1954)

SS Southern Cross was an ocean liner built in 1955 by Harland & Wolff, Belfast, Northern Ireland for the United Kingdom-based Shaw, Savill & Albion Line for Europe—Australia service. In 1975 she was rebuilt as a cruise ship and subsequently sailed under the names Calypso, Azure Seas and OceanBreeze until 2003 when she was sold for scrap to Ahmed Muztaba Steel Industries, Chittagong, Bangladesh.

The Southern Cross was the first passenger ship of over 20,000 gross register tons to be built that had the engine room (and as a result of that, the funnel) located near the stern, rather than amidships. She started a trend of aft-engined ships, and today most passenger ships are built this way. Southern Cross was also the first major liner to have no cargo space, other than for ship's stores and passenger luggage.

Design and construction
The Southern Cross was planned in the early 1950s as the new flagship of the Shaw, Savill & Albion Line to be used on the Europe–Australia immigrant run. However, the ship was by no means a basic migrant ship. When the ship was under planning, Shaw Savill chairman Basil Sanderson came up with the revolutionary idea of placing the ship's engines and funnel aft, freeing the areas amidships (which is generally considered the most comfortable area for passengers) for cabins and public rooms. Sanderson eventually managed to persuade the board of the viability of his idea, and on 16 July 1952 an order for the new all-passenger liner was placed at the Harland & Wolff shipyard.

Although the new ship was designed as an all-tourist class vessel for an immigrant route, she was designed with fairly luxurious facilities for her time. All passenger cabins were air conditioned, fitted with hot and cold running water, and inside cabins had circular lights that were switched on gradually in the morning, mimicking the rising of the sun. However, only the most expensive cabins had private bathroom facilities. The aft-funnel arrangement made it possible to build a large open lido deck midship, including a 5000 sqft sports deck area. In addition to the two outdoor pools there was one indoor pool. All inside public spaces were air conditioned, and included a two-deck high cinema (also used as a dancing venue), two large public lounges, two restaurants, a writing room/library and a smoking room. Wood panelling was widely used in the interior decorations, that were made to be light, airy, and modern to be comfortable in oppressive tropical climates.

Externally the ship was of a completely new design. In addition to the funnel being placed quite far aft, the bridge was placed nearer amidships, rather than the usual forward position. This meant the superstructure extended considerably further forward than the bridge. These features didn't win high accolades at the time, a contemporary review describing her as being "not very beautiful, but very efficient", but P&O's SS Canberra of 1961, ordered one year after Southern Cross entered service, was built to an almost identical design though on a larger scale.

In 1953 Basil Sanderson approached Buckingham Palace, asking if Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II would be willing to launch the new ship and choose a name from a list of suggestions. The Queen agreed, and chose the name Southern Cross. When launched on 17 August 1954, Southern Cross became the first passenger liner to be launched by a reigning British monarch.

Southern Cross emerged in the new Shaw Savill liner livery of a pale-grey-painted hull and familiar dark-buff funnel with a black top. This was complemented by the innovative use of pale-green eau de nil paintwork for the superstructure.

1955-1971
On 23 February 1955, Southern Cross was delivered to her owners. After her trials late January 1955, she departed 29 March on her maiden voyage for Australia and New Zealand. Her westerly directioned 76-day voyage out of Southampton included ports Trinidad, Curaçao, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Fiji, Wellington (2 May), Auckland, Sydney (9 May), Melbourne (11 May), Fremantle (16 May), Durban, Cape Town, Las Palmas and back to Southampton. Normally she might make four such circumnavigations every year.

The Southern Cross enjoyed great success during the early years of her Shaw Savill service, so in the late 1950s a second ship of similar design but larger dimensions was ordered, entering service in 1962 as SS Northern Star. When she entered service, Northern Star replaced Southern Cross on the eastwards Australian run, and Southern Cross took over the westwards itinerary, visiting the same ports as before but in reverse order.

During the 1960s competition from other passenger liners - and from the jet aeroplane - increased on the Australian run, putting financial pressure on Shaw Savill's around the year service to Australia and New Zealand. In a surprising move, parent company Furness Withy transferred three former Royal Mail Lines cargo/passenger ships to Shaw Savill in 1968/69, each with capacity for 464 passengers. In early 1970, Shaw Savill also acquired the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company's transatlantic liner RMS Empress of England. As SS Ocean Monarch, this unaltered ship promptly sailed for Australasia, to undertake two long cruises ex-Australia to Japan, timed to coincide with Expo'70. Upon her return to Britain, Ocean Monarch commenced a major refit to make her more suitable for full-time cruising. The now redundant cargo holds and associated handling gear were removed and the after part of the ship remodelled. This work enabling new public spaces and cabins to be built, which would increase passenger capacity to 1,372. Due to extended dockyard delays, Ocean Monarch was unable to resume service until October 1971. In the space of three years, Shaw Savill's passenger fleet had increased from two to six vessels, Southern Cross being the fleet's oldest.

Southern Cross was used for cruising from Southampton and Liverpool to Mediterranean ports from June 1971 onwards. Although her design was well suited for such duties, the ship was not fitted with private facilities in all cabins, which made her a challenging ship to market. Mainly due to Southern Cross's diminishing returns, after just five months of cruising, Shaw Savill decided to lay up the ship in November of the same year. The ship's early withdrawal proved to be her salvation as she escaped the poor maintenance which afflicted her fleet mates over the next few years resulting in them being sold for scrap by 1974 in spite of being younger than Southern Cross

1973-1980
After spending over a year laid up, first in Southampton and then at River Fal, Southern Cross was sold to Greece-based Ulysses Lines in January 1973. Renamed SS Calypso, the ship sailed to Piraeus where she was converted into a dedicated cruise ship. The original interior layout was retained with the exception of the indoor pool, which was replaced by a disco, whilst all interior furnishings were replaced with fashionable minimalist chrome-and-plastic creations, to conform with the then newest SOLAS regulations. Additionally, the cabins were refitted so that all now featured private bathrooms. This meant a slight reduction of passenger capacity, from the original 1,160 to 1,000.

Painted in cruise-like whites with an attractive blue/white funnel, Calypso entered service for Ulysses Lines in March 1975, initially cruising around the Mediterranean with Piraeus as the origin. After a few months she was chartered to the UK-based Thomson Cruises, to commence cruising from Tilbury and Southampton. Thomson withdrew from the cruise business in 1976 and Calypso returned to Ulysses Lines, who used her again in the Mediterranean, as well as for a season around South America in 1978-1979. Seven-night cruises from Miami to the Caribbean featured from 1979 onwards. At some point, Calypso also cruised from New York to Bermuda. In 1980 the ship was renamed SS Calypso I and used for cruises from Los Angeles to Alaska.

1980-1991
In late 1980 Calypso was sold again, this time to the United States–based Eastern Cruise Lines, who used her to start west-coast of US service under the name Western Cruise Lines. Renamed SS Azure Seas, the ship's interiors were redecorated once more to keep in the spirit of the times. In addition a new casino was built in place of the forward pool area. The ship's official passenger capacity was reduced to 821. With her funnel painted dark blue, Azure Seas was placed on three- and four-night cruises from Los Angeles to Ensenada and Catalina, and soon became highly popular.

In 1986 Western Cruise Lines and Eastern Cruise Lines merged with their west-coast competitor Sundance Cruises to form Admiral Cruises. No change was made to Azure Seas' itinerary, however. In the late 1980s the ship was again refurbished. This time the casino was moved to where the cinema balcony had been, with conference rooms and deluxe cabins built in place of the former casino. She continued her popular west-coast cruises until 1991, when transferred to cruising from Fort Laurendale to the Bahamas. However, in the same year Admiral Cruises was bought by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. The new owners had little interest in keeping the old Azure Seas in service, and she was sold to Dolphin Cruise Line.

1991-2003
Renamed SS OceanBreeze and sporting a new white-funnelled livery with curving blue stripes along the hull, the now 36-year-old ship started cruising on a seven-night itinerary from Aruba in 1992. In 1996 OceanBreeze was moved to cruising from New York and Florida. Another change of ownership was in order for the ship in 1997 when Dolphin Cruise Line, Premier Cruises and Seawind Cruises merged to form Premier Cruise Line. OceanBreeze was re-painted in the new company's colours, with a dark-blue funnel and a blue-and-yellow hull, but otherwise her service continued as it had before.

In 1999, Premier Cruise Lines chartered OceanBreeze to the newly founded Imperial Majesty Cruises. Her old name, crew and hull colours were maintained, only the company name (on the hull) and the logo on the funnel was changed. Imperial Majesty placed OceanBreeze on two-night cruises from Fort Lauderdale to Nassau. The ship proved to be very popular on this route, and later in 1999 (some sources state early 2000 ) Imperial Majesty Cruises decided to buy her. In October 2000 she was remodeled at Newport News at the cost of $3,500,000 with more up to date interiors. OceanBreeze was expected by many to continue sailing until the new SOLAS-regulations came into effect in 2010, but this proved not to be, as OceanBreeze - while popular - was actually not at all well suited for the itinerary she was used for. Running a steam turbine–powered ship on two-night itineraries was highly expensive, and an additional $5 million would have been needed to convert the ship to conform to the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In addition to this the ship, not having bow thrusters, needed costly assistance from tugs every time she visited a port. When another more profitable lease agreement presented in June 2003 for the MS Regal Empress, being a less restrictive ship than the OceanBreeze, Imperial Majesty Cruises decided to sell OceanBreeze for scrap. A campaign entitled "save the Southern Cross" commenced immediately thereafter, but in spite of many offers of assistance and months of hard work by an Australian-based, she was beached on 5 November 2003 at the Ahmed Muztaba Steel Industries yard located approximately 18 kilometres from Chittagong, Bangladesh and broken up for scrap metal; by late 2004 the scrapping was completed.

Electoral district of Algester

The electoral district of Algester is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland in south-west Brisbane. It includes the suburbs of Algester, Parkinson, Hillcrest, Boronia Heights, Forestdale, Larapinta, Heathwood, Forest Lake, Doolandella and Pallara, as well as the Greenbank Military Range. It borders the electoral districts of Sunnybank, Stretton, Logan, Lockyer, Bundamba and Inala.

The Algester electoral district was created at the 1999 redistribution from the former electoral district of Archerfield, and was contested for the first time at the 2001 election. It had been a safe seat for the Labor Party since its inception, as had Archerfield, but it was won by Anthony Shorten of the Liberal National Party at the 2012 election. Leeanne Enoch won the seat back for Labor at the 2015 election. Enoch is the first Indigenous Australian woman elected to the Queensland parliament.

Glowin' Moses

Glowin’ Moses was a Christian rock band formed in the late 1990s. The band took their name from the Biblical story of Moses. The band released four albums during the eight years they were together.

Early history
The band was formed in October 1999 in Newport News, Virginia as part of the First Baptist Church Music Ministry. Their music is best described as an amalgam of structured pop-rock and freewheeling jam band stylings. The original lineup consisted of Ron Mason on guitar, Michael J. Adams on drums, Ray Fowler, Jr. on bass, and lead singer Nathan "Nate" Milton. In addition to solid musicianship, the band employed the songwriting team of Adams and Milton. Mirroring the songwriting arrangement of the great Lennon–McCartney writing team, Milton and Adams composed over 60 songs during their four-year partnership. The band began by playing at numerous churches, youth rallies, coffee houses, & nightclubs. They were a part of various festivals and conferences, quickly garnering local and regional attention for their modern music and stage presence. One of the band's highlights occurred in 2001, when they opened for Christian music legends Petra in Waynesboro, VA. In 2003 another moment happened when they appeared on "The Local Connection". A popular radio show that aired on WJLZ. The show was broadcast both locally and nationally via the internet. The band has released four albums to date (including "Soul Food", which was produced by David "Pic" Conley of the R&B group Surface).

Lineup changes
Besides their music, Glowin' Moses most notable trait was their ever-changing roster. In 2000 the band expanded their roster from four to seven members. In addition to adding saxophonist Curtis Brown (who had already begun playing with the band in several concerts), the band added "The Philipino Phenom" Alden Lumagui on bass and "Sugar" Shawn Moseley on keyboards. This is the "classic" GM lineup that would remain intact for the next three years. In 2003 the band went through a series of lineup changes. Bassist Alden Lumagui left the band to pursue other personal and musical opportunities (he eventually resurfaced with the band Simple Life). Lumagui was "replaced" by a pastiche of fill-in bass players, including Michael Adams' brother, Brian. The band eventually settled on a steady lineup which featured Michael Adams on lead guitar, Ron Mason on bass guitar and Shawn Moseley on drums. In the Summer of 2003, the band added Shawn Downey as the permanent bass player. But the lineup changes weren't finished for the band. At the end of 2003 founding members Ray Fowler and Nathan Milton both departed the band for personal and professional reasons. Milton eventually returned to the music scene with his R&B/Soul collective, Mosaic. Following Milton's departure, Curtis Brown assumed the duties of lead singer and the band continued to record new music, resulting in the CD "Grey" (which included the final nine Adams-Milton collaborations). In October 2005, Shawn Moseley and Shawn Downey decided to part ways with the band. Brian Adams returned on Bass guitar, reducing GM back to its original number of four members. In 2005 the band also added keyboard player Vladimir Barrios. After a year of being in the band, Barrios left the group to return to his native home of California. In 2007, after eight years and four albums, the band decided to take an "Indefinite Hiatus".

2006 and beyond
In 2006 the band appeared as part of The Inspiration Network (INSP) channel program "CATS" (Christian Artist Talent Search) this was the band's final televised performance. In 2007, after eight years and four albums, the band decided to take an "indefinite hiatus". In 2008 the remaining members finally decided to part ways for good, effectively ending the band. Rumors persisted of a reunion in 2009 (10 years after the band's initial formation), but the rumors were not addressed by any of the band's former members.

As of 2010, several members are still in pursuit of their musical ambitions. Curtis Brown plays saxophone in the Michael Clark Band. Michael J. Adams is playing and writing for the Ben Phelps Project. Ron Mason continues to play guitar for First Baptist Church. While many of the members have departed from the band, most of the guys remain in contact. In 2013, Alden Lumagui, after almost 8 years of musical abstinence, dusted off the ol' 5 string EdgeQ Hammer with the DR Neon strings and auditioned for the Waters Edge Church production team at their Yorktown, VA campus. "I was worried about auditions and not having picked up a bass in soo long, but overall it went great!" said Lumagui of his audition experience. As of 2015, Lumagui continues to play bass for WEC in Yorktown, VA and still manages to keep in touch with his former Glowin' Moses bandmates.

The name
The band took their name from a Biblical scripture passage, Exodus 34:29-35. The passage tells of Moses coming into the presence of God on Mount Sinai.

"29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands the LORD had given him on Mount Sinai. 33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the LORD's presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord." - NIV Version

Talk:Riddle game

I disagree. The Riddle Game is an ancient and highly respected form of intellectual combat, found in Greek, Celtic, and Norse myth (and others, I'm sure, though these are my areas of personal knowledge). The Riddle Game should be distinguished from simple riddles, which serve chiefly as entertainment. The Riddle Game is played for high stakes, and the outcome is usually of great importance, such as Bilbo's attainment of the ring, and Odin's riddling of the giant Vafthruthnir, from which he learns of the future of the nine worlds.

I Disagree as well. The riddle game is, by its definition far more important than a simple riddle, the fact that it is a game implies a winner a loser. The stakes are higher and it is used almost solely in mythology, nobody in the real world wagers anything of value on a riddle. People who succeed at winning a riddle game are nearly always granted fame and heroism, even if they lacked it previously, such as Bilbo, Oedipus, or even people who answer a leprechaun's riddle.

 * I think this article could stand on its own for the reasons mentioned above. If someone were to add a history of riddle games including more details regarding the various stories as well as where they first appeared I think it could be a really interesting article. Alexforcefive

 * No need to merge. The riddle game stands clear of individual riddles, in my opinion. Charles Matthews 13:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mickie James

Mickie James On Springer
I can't find a source for this, but Mickie James was on Jerry Springer. They did make a mention of it well over two years ago on Raw. If someone could find a source, than it would be good to add it to the article. Mr. C.C. (talk) 19:18, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

 * This is from my own personal knowledge, and as far as I know I've never seen it published. Mickie was a part of the roster for Maryland Championship Wrestling during the time that Steve Wilkos was associated with the promotion, and he selected her and several other wrestlers to participate as audience members. As far as I know, she did not participate in the show as a guest. Kamnet (talk) 17:38, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

She was actually on Jenny Jones, although I guess its possible she was also on Springer. I added the Jenny Jones appearance to her article. --Celtic Jobber (talk) 06:12, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Mickie James Poses for Leg Show
How come my addition of Mickie James Posing for Leg Show magazine was deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.167.109 (talk) 03:55, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Um, maybe because it's already mentioned in the article (in the "Early career" section)? You would have to ask the person who deleted it, but that would be my guess. No need to include it again when it's already mentioned.  TJ   Spyke   03:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Should it not be mentioned that she has denied that it is her in the pictures?--AndyCPrivate (talk) 12:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source?  TJ   Spyke   20:53, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

De-linking
A certain editor seems to think that relevant terms and stuff un-familiar to non-wrestling fans shouldn't be linked. Thy also think other notable and relevant info shouldn't be linked. This section is for them to state their case rather than revert over and over and accuse people of vandalism when they are restoring the page to the stable version that no one else has a problem with.  TJ   Spyke   22:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Where are you discussing it? Here, where I asked you to do it twice? Or on my talk page, where you sent me the message? I'll repost what I put in response to your message on my talk page here:

Why are you not willing to discuss the linking in the Mickie James article? And example of what I mean: :...Stratus' biggest fan turned obsessed stalker..." You want linked to the wrestling term "turn". However, the common English use of the word "turn" is to change. How does that differ from the wrestling definition. Terms like kayfabe.....yes, those are unique to wrestling and those links are appropriate. But linking words like "turn" really don't clarify anything to a non-fan, it just adds more blue type to an article that is already awash in it. Further, linking common words like "farm" don't enhance the article. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. Next, you keep re-adding links to things like "American", leading to the article about the United States. The overlink policy cites that as a specific example of what NOT to link. Links to locations, words etc that people commonly understand aren't needed. So no, Washington DC really shouldn't be linked. It is a location known to most readers. How many English speakers don't know what the United States is? Or what New York City is? Lastly, sending readers to generic articles doesn't enhance understanding this article, which is the purpose of linking. Does sending someone to the article about DC enhance their understanding?

I termed your wholesale reversion as "vandalism" because you aren't talking about specific things, but simply clicking undo. I have asked TWICE to discuss and you simply ignored it. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

BTW, I am not the one who violated 3R Spyke. Before you talk about reverting "over and over", count your own reversions. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Also, when I removed the excessive links, I was careful to do so by section, so that it wouldn't be necessary to revert EVERYTHING just because someone disagreed with one term being delinked. A wholesale reversion is definately not wp:agf, especially when being asked to discuss your specific complaints. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:25, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have not violated 3RR either, I have done exactly 3 reverted (it's 4 that violates. And my first revert was to revert what I considered vandalism). I have trimmed out the un-needed links (like the turned obsessive stalker one and the farm one). The American link is only linked once and OVERLINK talks about linking to it as a geographic term (i.e. "lives in America"), it is used here as a nationality. Locations can be linked to if they are relevant, in this case where she grew up/trained to wrestle/etc.  TJ   Spyke   22:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Um, it's more than 3 reversions.......not limited to the same material. Further, terming my delinking as "vandalism" isn't really valid either. In almost every instance, the actual text wasn't changed, just the WL removed. In other words, the same info that existed before existed after. That is not vandalism.

You know what, forget it. This my first step in trying to improve the article enough to put it up for GA review. One thing I've seen in reading GA reviews is that there was too much blue type (ie too many links). You clearly want to fight about every word involved and I have no interest in it. Let someone else improve the article and submit it for GA review. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Here is what 3RR says "Contributors must not perform more than three reverts on a single page". I have only made 3 reverts to the article in the last 24 hours (actually, those were my only edits to the page in the last 5 days), so I have not violated 3RR.  TJ   Spyke   22:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The article is already a Good Article. Nikki  ♥  311  22:43, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * My bad, I meant FA. I have GA on the brain from another article. Anyway, let someone else do it. This fight isn't worth it.Niteshift36 (talk) 22:45, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * As the person who helped make it a GA, I have to say...it is no where near FA quality. You'll have to replace a lot of the sources because the FA reviewers won't find them reliable. Nikki  ♥  311  22:46, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * You're probably right. But as I said, first step. It was a simple one....well, supposed to be. Now it is the last step in a short lived plan. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:48, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Let's keep the conversation here rather than on our talkpages. You seem intent on de-linking "American". I already gave you one example of a Featured Article that includes the same link. Massive de-linking of terms relevant to the article hurts the article, not helps it and I would probably oppose it being promoted to FA if that was done.  TJ   Spyke   22:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * No Spyke, let me make my intent VERY clear: My intent is to end this discussion. You refuse to even answer a simple, common sense question. It doesn't matter to me what another article did with American. I can't see how any English speaker with enough of a command of the English language to read the article would not know what the United States is without yet another drop in the big blue sea of wikilinks to explain it to them. Do whatever you want with the article. I'm finished with it. Niteshift36 (talk) 23:05, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Leg Show again
It looks like the section has been deleted again. I don't know the references for it, but if it could be found it should either be noted in early life or personal life. Sephiroth storm (talk) 01:53, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Re-added. Next time, just go through the history to find what was deleted and the ref. Nikki  ♥  311   02:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

It's been removed again, it seems. It doesn't make me respect her any less, I'm just curious as to why people keep removing it if it's genuine.--68.111.242.222 (talk) 23:51, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Requested semi-protection
Since IP edits somehow deem her title defense again Alicia Fox at the Hell in a Cell PPV, I have requested temporary semi-protection to hopefully keep them at bay for awhile. ArcAngel (talk) 03:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Mickie James
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mickie James's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reason for leaving WWE?
The wording of this article makes her departure from the WWE sound both abrupt and unexplained. However, and while I don't have evidence, I suspect it may have been due to her upcoming album release. It would appear that Maria left for this very reason and it would make sense if something similar occurred regarding Mickie. Perhaps someone who knows how to look into this kind of thing would be able to find actual information?--68.111.242.222 (talk) 10:21, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

mickie james worked for wwe and won both divas and womans champion ships. when she left she wnt to tna now known as impact for one reason only. to win the knockouts title witch she did at lockdown 2011. everyone is asking me if mickie james is going to win at hardcore justice. and i'm guessing yes because winter keeps on atacing her. and 75% of the time the person who kept on atacing the other person loses. so at hardcore justice mickie james will probaly win. in case any of you were wondering. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rachel105 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

 * The link in the previous comment goes nowhere. It should be this.  City O f Silver  16:54, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You are not a reliable source, since you could be anybody, and Answers.com is not a reliable source since anybody can edit it. If you have a reliable source saying the claim is untrue, please provide it. Otherwise, you're not going to be able to make the edit because the claim that they are dating is sourced.  City O f Silver  16:52, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * This is actually quite borderline... so there is one source which is inaccessible (or does anyone have an online link?), and no-one else (I did a search) reports anything similar, which is strange in the case of a celebrity. And finding a reliable source that says something did/does not happen is usually impossible. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 17:05, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I would say it doesn't hurt to remove that sentence. I too was irritated by the IP for continually removing the (what appeared to be) sourced information. But I have been checking the source and I wouldn't classify it as reliable. Both because of the inability to check it without user credentials and the fact that the source asks readers to forward gossip and rumors to the outlet. So perhaps it's best to leave it out until an unquestioned or verifiable source emerges. Dave Dial (talk) 17:23, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

it is untrue because no other Website has said anything about it they know its just gossip and rumors its making me upset  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickiefan2005 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

 * It doesn't matter if you're upset, it matters that the Observer is considered, for wrestling topics, a reliable source. If you can find other sites saying they're not together, then please point them out. Answer sites is emphatically *not* a reliable source, for anything. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:07, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Hell if I know, I don't get the paper version of the Observer and the link to it in Meltzer's archives is login only. I don't really care either way whether this is included or not; my point is, the statement is sourced to something that is accepted as a reliable source for wrestling articles. Whether it's available online or not is a moot point. I'm certainly not interested in fighting over it. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:33, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

However, since this fact is (1) disputed, and (2) based on a single source, (3) whose reliability has been questioned (plausibly or not), and (4) this is a WP:BLP; I've removed it. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:11, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Magnus/Nick Aldis
I thought the consensus was we're leaving the information about Mickie James & Nick Aldis off the article? The source given is paywalled, and there's nothing I could locate from any other source that says the same thing. Additionally the info about Mickie and Nick is not present on Nick's article.

As it is, I'm tagging as for now in hopes that someone else has better luck in finding something to back the info up. If nobody can find a superior source, then we should delete it. Tabercil (talk) 17:12, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I have the issue, but as it's a single source and is somewhat dubious when it comes to rumor I can see the argument for it being cut entirely. Seeing as the two have been seen together often a relationship can be inferred but there's no solid base for inclusion. Papacha (talk) 21:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

TNA
Due to James' reigns as Knockouts Champion short the section may need to be changed. --Miss X-Factor (talk) 00:29, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Her reigns may have been short but they were still reigns as champion in a short amount of time. Why start half of her reign in one section and then end it in another? That doesn't make sense. And yes she turned heel, but does turning heel no longer mean shes champion or something. CM Punk's first WWE Championship reign was short, but but even though it took him a little while to get it back, doesn't mean his year-long second reign need to be split does it? I changed it to "Women's Knockouts Championship reigns", before you change it read the talk page first please and lets talk about it here or on either one of our talk pages.

California State Route 32

State Route 32 (SR 32) is an east–west state highway in the U.S. State of California which is routed from Interstate 5 in Orland, across the Sacramento Valley and through Chico, through the northern Sierra Nevada, and ending at SR 36 and SR 89 in eastern Tehama County.

Route description
SR 32 begins in Orland at a junction with I-5 as Newville Road. The highway continues east out of Orland for several miles before entering Hamilton City and intersecting SR 45. SR 32 then crosses the Sacramento River into Butte County. East of here, SR 32 enters the city of Chico, becoming Walnut Street before it becomes a one-way couplet as 8th and 9th Streets through downtown Chico. Shortly after the diamond interchange with the SR 99 freeway, 8th and 9th Streets merge into one road and SR 32 continues east out of the Chico city limits.

Following this, SR 32 turns to the northeast, passing through the communities of Forest Ranch and West Branch before crossing into Tehama County and eventually Lassen National Forest. SR 32 terminates at an intersection with SR 89 and SR 36.

Different road names include Nord Avenue (Chico), Walnut Street (Chico), West Eighth and Ninth Streets (Chico), East Eighth and Ninth Streets (Chico), Deer Creek Highway (Chico), East and West Sixth Street (Hamilton City), Walker Street (Orland), Newville Road (Orland) and County Road 200.

SR 32 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System, and between I-5 and SR 99 is part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration.

A.out

a.out is a file format used in older versions of Unix-like computer operating systems for executables, object code, and, in later systems, shared libraries. This is an abbreviated form of "assembler output", the filename of the output of Ken Thompson's PDP-7 assembler. The term was subsequently applied to the format of the resulting file to contrast with other formats for object code.

"a.out" remains the default output file name for executables created by certain compilers and linkers when no output name is specified, even though the created files actually are not in the a.out format.

Support for the a.out format was removed in Linux kernel version 5.18.

History
An a.out format for the PDP-7, similar to the a.out format used on the PDP-11, appeared in the first edition of UNIX. It was superseded by the COFF format in AT&T Unix System V, which was in turn superseded by the ELF format in System V Release 4. a.out files are identified by the magic numbers with octal codes 0407, 0410 or 0413.

Though Berkeley Unix continued using the a.out format for some time, modern BSD systems have since switched to ELF. NetBSD/i386 switched formally from a.out to ELF in its 1.5 release (Dec. 2000). FreeBSD/i386 switched to ELF as a standard format during the 2.2 to 3.0 transition in 1998, however support for a.out remained in the system.

MINIX 3 switched to ELF in the 3.2.0 release (Feb. 2012).

Linux also used a.out only until kernel 1.2 (Mar. 1995), when it was superseded by ELF for that platform as well. ELF support was added in the experimental 1.1.52 kernel. Linux's transition to ELF was more or less forced due to the complex nature of building a.out shared libraries on that platform, which included the need to register the virtual address space at which the library was located with a central authority, as the a.out ld.so in Linux was unable to relocate shared libraries. The various BSD flavors were able to continue using a.out binaries long after Linux was forced to switch to ELF, due to the somewhat more flexible nature of the BSD a.out format compared to that of Linux. The a.out file format on Linux was deprecated with the release of the 5.1 Linux kernel and the last parts of source code handling it were removed in 5.18.

Debugging
The a.out support for debug information is done through the use of special entries in the symbol table called stabs. The stabs format has also been used in many COFF and ELF variations.

Talk:Chirakkal Raja

Untitled
I was wondering why nobody has posted in this section yet. Is it for lack of interest or lack of information? In any case I thought I should be the first here, as also that this would be my first ever post in any Wikipedia forum.

Without exaggeration, I think the Mooshaka or Kolathiri or Chirakkal Royal Family should be the most ancient existing royal family, and perhaps even the oldest ever in recorded history. Without going into the as-of-now theoretical or unconventional realm of earlier world orders and civilizations pre - 3500 BC - 3100 BC, where the land of KumariKandam believed to be lying in the western half of the Indian Ocean might have been the cradle of the earliest cultures and the ancestors of the Dravida, Aryaa, Sumerian and Elamite cultures, and by a stretch even the Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian and East African peoples, I have come across various articles that are authenticated by "recorded history" and by "modern science", which do suggest an unparalleled antiquity for the Velirs, who later became the Mooshakas, Kolathiris and finally the Chirakkals. I shall be attaching some links that I have with me now, that pertain to this subject but there have been other articles in the past on the Net that are no longer available, which I am unable to refer to, and where there was a lot of information there too.

According to recorded history, the Ceras, Cholas and Pandyas date back to at least 300 BC, in fact, there are hints that the only recorded Sangam period might have commenced as much as a thousand years earlier than had been believed for most of the time. There has however been no earliest possible date given to the Ceras, Cholas and Pandyas with regard to their beginning, as in the Deep South, going back to even 300 BC (though that is a long stretch of time too) blurs our vision looking into the past still further.

One thing is for sure – that courtesy the Ceras, Cholas and Pandyas indirectly, and more directly by virtue of being the descendents of the Velirs, the fourth major power in the Deep South – Dravida as it was called, the Mooshaka or Kolathiri or Chirakkal Royal Family could claim an antiquity going back to at least 300 BC, and if the only known Sangam was indeed over a thousand years earlier, that could be stretched to even 1800 BC. One Udayan Venmon Nannan, also known as Nannan or Nandan was the most illustrious ruler in this dynasty more than 2000 years back.

One article that pertains to the pushing back of the antiquities of the Cheras, Cholas, Pandyas and the Velirs - though it might appear a bit controversial to many is here, it makes a lot of sense: - http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/H/Ha/Hathigumpha.htm.

One that mentions the Velir chief Nannan is here:- http://www.coimbatore.com/kongunadu/home2.htm.

Though this article pertains to a different subject, it does make mention of Nannan as the direct ancestor of the Chirakkal Royal Family:- http://ernakulam.sancharnet.in/janvikas/kasaragodhistory.htm

Another article regarding the same, though this too is on something else, that also mentions today’s Mount Eli or Ezhimala or Ezhimalai as the capital of Nannan:-

There are many articles that mention the Kolathiris under some name or the other, but most seem to be articles on some other topic that only make a passing reference to them. The different names therefore that this Family seems to have had are the Velir, Mooshaka, Kolathiri and Chirakkal, the last being their present title, which they might have taken after moving their capital to the town of Chirakkal, which might have been in the beginning of the 9th century CE. Prior to that, they had their capitals at places like Madayi, Ezhimalai, Taliparamba (all in Kannur), and according to some accounts even in some place in Pudukottai District.

They also have given birth to the royal families of Nileshwaram, Arakkal, Thiruvithamkoor, and Lakshadweep (They have a kind of “higher society” there, though not a formal royal family) and of the Maldives, and at least one in present-day TN, as also one in the Palakkad region. Kolathiri was the first Nair lord took the vedic kshatriya title,he brought Tuluva Brahmins from Tulunadu to do "Hiraniyagarbha yaga" because Namputhiris objected it. Over the centuries, they also intermarried with non-Southern royals like the Chedis and the Somas of North-Central India besides of course the Ceras, Cholas and Pandyas, which was needless to say, a very frequent happening.

The region over which they ruled at some pint of time or the other, seem to stretch from at least Mangalapuram(Mangalore) and Kodagu(Coorg) in the South to Palakkad and Kovai(Coimbatore) in the North and to Dharmapuri and Mysore in the East, though for most of the time, their rule seems to have been concentrated in and around Kasargode and Kannur Districts.

Does anybody else know anything more about this family? I would really like it if something new would be posted here regarding this family. I cannot deny that I have been biased so as to being interested in this family’s history as my Maternal Grandmother is related two generations before her to one of the younger princesses of the Chirakkals, after which they branched out.

Anyway, finally I think they should have a single name like Velir or Mooshakam or Kolathiri instead of a bit awkward sounding one like “Chirakkal Raja” both for the Wiki article as well as for this discussion forum. I hope somebody would edit the same.

Hello again, I was the one who posted the previous opening post barely ten mins back. Just wish somebody could change the name of the article accordingly.

Raja was never a South Indian word. I am not being regionistic or parochial but Mooshakam or Kolathiri or even just Chirakkal or then Chirakkal Thamburan all sound better.

Chirakkal kings and Saliyas
I too have some connection with Chirakkal kings. But not so gratifying :-). In my community we have a folklore that our community was expelled from Kolathunadu region(upto Southern Kasaragod) by a Chirakkal king. I wonder if it's recorded in any of royal accounts. I hope some expert would read this and give me some inputs. Also any idea in what century or year this kingdom came to an end.

Los Alamos High School

Los Alamos High School (LAHS) is the public high school in Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA. The school opened in 1946, and was originally supported by the Atomic Energy Commission. It has been academically recognized by Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, and the New Mexico Public Education Department. The school has been visited by two U.S. Presidents: John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton. LAHS currently competes in the New Mexico Activities Association's District 2, AAAA division for athletics, and has won 111 state championships in the school's history.

History

Los Alamos High School was the second high school built in Los Alamos. Prior to the Second World War, the Los Alamos Ranch School functioned as a boarding school for wealthy easterners that combined elements of a college preparatory school with a rugged frontier life. In 1942 Los Alamos was chosen to be the site of the Manhattan Project. The US Government acquired the property of the Ranch School through eminent domain, and the school was shut down in 1943.

During wartime, structures in Los Alamos were temporary because people were expecting to leave after the wartime project was completed. In August 1945, following the Allied victory in Japan, it was decided the Los Alamos Laboratory's nuclear research would continue in order to counter a rising Soviet threat. In 1946 Los Alamos begin erecting permanent structures, including Los Alamos High School. Life during the war and post-war transition was difficult for the first students of LAHS. "'[We were] normal teenagers trying to have a normal life in very adverse conditions," said Dan Nelis, one of the school's original students.

In 1946, much of the budget for construction and operation of the high school was provided directly by the Atomic Energy Commission instead of state or local taxes. This arrangement persisted under the Department of Energy and Washington has traditionally paid for a third of the school system's budget. Support from the federal government has been declining and was only 22% in the 2008–2009 academic year.

During the 1960s, LAHS began to attract attention for its consistent academic performance, low drop-out rate, and innovative teaching methods. President John F. Kennedy noted LAHS and other local schools during his visit to Los Alamos in 1962: "I've admired from some years ago, from reading an article about the kind of schools that you run here and the kind of boys and girls that you're bringing up." In 1964, after the assassination of President Kennedy, the community of Los Alamos erected a permanent memorial in his honor at the high school football field.

President Bill Clinton spoke at the school in 1993. In Clinton's speech, he marked the community's technological contributions to national security, and envisioned a new Post-Cold War role for the town in promoting technological advancement and prosperity. In October 1995 a delegation of nuclear scientists from Sarov (Los Alamos's Russian sister city) visited Los Alamos to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Allied Victory in WWII and the end of the Cold War. During their visit members of the delegation both attended and taught classes at Los Alamos High School and the University of New Mexico, Los Alamos. Clinton made an unscheduled appearance at LAHS in 1998 following a speech he gave at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. After passing students who had gathered to cheer his motorcade on his way to the speech, Clinton returned to greet the students and play saxophone.

In 2000, two students were killed before daylight on Good Friday while making a traditional religious pilgrimage to El Santuario de Chimayó. On May 10 many students lost their homes in the Cerro Grande Fire. The blaze also devastated the scenic forests and hillsides surrounding the school.

The school was used as a filming location for the 2010 film Let Me In, the American remake of the Swedish film Let the Right One In. Students from LAHS and the surrounding community participated as extras in the cast.

Academics

Los Alamos High School's academic achievements have been recognized by a number of national publications. LAHS was ranked #780 out of 2,000 in Newsweek magazine's 2013 America's Best High School list. Los Alamos High School received "Silver Medal" ranking in 2013 as one of America's Best High Schools in an announcement by U.S. News & World Report on April 24, 2013. From a review of 21,035 U.S. public high schools, Los Alamos ranked 556th in the nation. Los Alamos ranking was up significantly from the 2012 "Silver Medal" ranking of 638th. LAHS was awarded a silver medal in U.S. News & World Report's Best High School Search 2008. In 2005 LAHS was named one of the "1,000 Best High Schools in America" (#649) by Newsweek Magazine. In 1998, LAHS was identified as a top performing public high-school in Class Struggle, a book by Washington Post education reporter Jay Mathews examining the public education system in America. The strength of LAHS's academic record has been associated with the academic nature of Los Alamos County, which has the highest concentration of PhDs per capita in the United States. LAHS is not a magnet school and does not have an admissions exam; Any student living in Los Alamos is free to attend. Every year students from LAHS students are recognized for the achievements by the National Merit Scholarship Program, the National Hispanic Recognition Program, and the College Board's AP Scholar awards.

LAHS does not rank students, arguing that a focus on rank by potential universities can cause many excellent students to be overlooked. The GPAs of top students at LAHS are separated from each other by thousandths of a point.

63% of LAHS faculty have earned an advanced degree.

LAHS is accredited by the North Central Association of the New Mexico State Department of Education. The Department of Education frequently awards LAHS with an "Exemplary" rating for its academics. LAHS has consistently exceeded the Adequate Yearly Progress Math and Reading proficiency requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act for its student body at large. However, LAHS has sometimes failed to meet the requirements of AYP due to inadequate test scores among students with disabilities or insufficient participation of Caucasian students.

Curriculum
The Los Alamos High School has a standards-based curriculum and allows students to develop an individualized four-year plan. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered in German, Spanish, French, physics, biology, chemistry, calculus, statistics, English, American history, European history, psychology, and computers. Students also participate in NJROTC, educational work study, a building trades program, an automotive program, marketing and office technology courses, and concurrent enrollment at the University of New Mexico's Los Alamos Branch Campus which is located adjacent to the high school. Students who desire a different approach to education can apply to the School of Choice, a project-oriented, cooperative learning, interdisciplinary program. Comprehensive special education programs are available at all levels including work study and vocational training. Work-related courses for credit include student assistant and student intern (stipend), which involve work on campus; MAPS (Mentorship, Apprenticeship, Partnership), which places students in the community (credit only); and Co-op Work Experience, which employs students throughout the community.

Student body
Los Alamos High School is a suburban high school serving the entire county of Los Alamos, including White Rock, although some students from neighbouring counties attend as well. The median household income in Los Alamos County is $88,870 and few economically disadvantaged students attend LAHS. Elsewhere in New Mexico, LAHS is sometimes characterized as a school for the "rich". Most of the students at LAHS originate from Los Alamos Middle School, the only middle school in Los Alamos County.

Team Name and Mascot
The team name, Hilltoppers, derives from a popular nickname for the city, "The Hill." Sometimes LAHS students are referred to with the abbreviation Toppers or 'Toppers.

The team colors of forest green and gold reference the autumnal display, on the mountains behind the town, of dark-green pine forest interspersed with bright yellow aspen.

The mascot of Los Alamos High School is the Hilltopper, chosen in a vote by the student body in the 1960s. (Previously, the school teams were iconified by a top-hat and gloves). In 1980 a mural of the Hilltopper was painted in Griffith Gymnasium. In this mural the Hilltopper was prominently depicted as a rugged Mountain Man with a walking stick atop the scenic Jemez Mountains that overlook LAHS. In 2004, the mural was destroyed during renovations to the Gymnasium's HVAC system when a series of fans were installed on the gym's interior south wall.

Facilities
In 2010, construction began on the high school to replace aging buildings at the center of the campus. A-D wings were torn down to make room for a new three-story building. The new main building was completed in late 2011 with classes beginning in January 2012. This is the most recent in a series of capital renovations at the high school including the addition of a new science wing and the newly remodeled R-Wing (formerly the cafeteria). In 2010 Los Alamos Public Schools were commended by Energy Education for their efforts in promoting energy efficiency. LA Schools achieved over a million dollars in energy cost savings during a 56-month period.
