1970–71 NHL season

The 1970–71 NHL season was the 54th season of the National Hockey League. Two new teams, the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks made their debuts and were both put into the East Division. The Chicago Black Hawks were moved to the West Division. The Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup by beating the Black Hawks in seven games in the finals.

League business
The NHL added two expansion teams in Buffalo and Vancouver.

At the beginning of the season, the Oakland Seals were renamed California Golden Seals.

From this season through the 2002–03 season, teams wore their white (or yellow) jerseys at home and their colored jerseys on the road.

Regular season
For 1970–71 the NHL went to a balanced schedule, with each team playing each other team six times, three at home and three on the road, without regard to divisional alignment. Nevertheless, playoff qualification was determined entirely by divisional standings, with the top four teams in each division qualifying.

This season saw a marked increase in goal scoring, especially by the Boston Bruins, who shattered scoring records as they set the mark for most goals by a team (399) by nearly a hundred over the previous record holder. They also set records for most victories (57) and points (121). Phil Esposito set records for most goals in a season with 76 and for most points with 152. Defenceman Bobby Orr won his second consecutive Hart Memorial Trophy and set a new record for assists with 102. The Bruins also had the four league leading scorers, the first time in history this was achieved (the only other time being by the Bruins in 1974), and seven of the top eleven leading scorers, the only time in NHL history this has ever been achieved. They had 6 of the top 8 scorers in the league. Furthermore, the Bruins set marks for the highest scoring single season marks at every position: center (Esposito), left wing (Johnny Bucyk with 116), right wing (Ken Hodge with 105) and defence (Orr), as well as for a forward line (Esposito centering Wayne Cashman and Hodge).

Boston won the East Division championship in a runaway. In the West Division, the powerful Chicago Black Hawks had been moved there partially to accommodate the expansion Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks (both of which were placed in the East Division) but more in an effort to provide greater balance between the divisions. Chicago broke St. Louis' stranglehold over the division, winning handily over the Blues and advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Montreal Canadiens, who missed the playoffs in 1969–70, appeared to be sinking once more. Players did not like Claude Ruel's dictatorial rule as coach, and Ralph Backstrom and John Ferguson retired. Ruel resigned and Al MacNeil took over. Both Ferguson and Backstrom returned, but Backstrom was later traded to Los Angeles for draft choices.

The Vancouver Canucks played well at first and were around the .500 mark at mid-season. Then Orland Kurtenbach was injured and the team sagged.

On October 29, Gordie Howe became the first player to record 1,000 assists in a 5–3 win over Boston at the Detroit Olympia.

Detroit introduced a fine rookie goaltender, Jim Rutherford, who had bright moments despite the Red Wings last place finish. However, they suffered their worst defeat in franchise history January 2, when Toronto crushed them 13–0. Sid Abel, the team's general manager, asked owner Bruce Norris if he could dismiss coach Ned Harkness. Told that he could not, Abel resigned. Norris then elevated Harkness to general manager and Doug Barkley was named coach. Detroit took a tumble to the basement of the East Division after that.

On March 12, Boston's Phil Esposito broke Bobby Hull's record for goals by a player in a season at 7:03 of the first period on Denis DeJordy of Los Angeles at the Forum in Inglewood, California. Then, at 15:40 he became the first player to score 60 goals. The Bruins won 7–2.

Buffalo had a star, Gilbert Perreault, who on March 18 broke Nels Stewart's (and Danny Grant's, and Norm Ferguson's) rookie record with his 35th goal in a 5–3 win over St. Louis. He went on to finish the season with 38.

Billy Taylor and Don Gallinger, now middle-aged, were finally forgiven for their gambling in 1948 and were reinstated to the NHL. However, they did not return to the NHL.

Format change
Due to three straight years of non-competitive finals (where the West Division winning St. Louis Blues were swept all 3 years by an established East Division club); the NHL changed the match-ups for the semifinals by having the winner of the series of the 1st vs. 3rd East Division teams play the winner of the 2nd vs. 4th West Division teams. Similarly, the other semifinal series pitted the winner of the 1st vs. 3rd West Division teams against the winner of the 2nd vs. 4th East Division teams. Combined with the transfer of the Chicago Black Hawks into the West Division (which previously consisted only of expansion teams), the Stanley Cup Finals series was expected to be more competitive. The realignment and change in playoff format brought the desired results, but at the expense of the expansion teams; seven of the eight finalists were Original Six teams over the next four seasons. Until realignment in 1974–75 when the Original Six and expansion teams were more thoroughly mixed, the Philadelphia Flyers were the only expansion team to reach a Cup final, which they won in 1974.

A significant controversy arose before the playoffs. With 4 games to play, the Minnesota North Stars were in 3rd place with a record of 28–30–16 for 72 points while the Philadelphia Flyers were in 4th at 26–33–15 for 67 points. Minnesota then lost their final four games while the Flyers went 2–0–2 to jump ahead of Minnesota in the final standings by 1 point. It was widely rumored that Minnesota did so to avoid playing the far superior Chicago Black Hawks, since at this time in the playoffs the first place team played the third place team and the second played the fourth. Nothing was proven against the North Stars (who defeated their first round opponents, St. Louis, four games to two, while the Flyers were swept by the powerful Black Hawks), but the format was changed the next year to the 1 vs. 4/2 vs. 3 format that prevailed thereafter.

(E1) Boston Bruins vs. (E3) Montreal Canadiens
The Boston Bruins finished first in the league with 121 points. The Montreal Canadiens finished third in the East Division with 97 points. This was the fifteenth playoff series between these two teams with Montreal winning twelve of the fourteen previous series. They last met in the 1969 Stanley Cup Semifinals which Montreal won in six games. Boston won five of the six games in this year's regular season series.

The Montreal Canadiens were matched against the Boston Bruins, and in one of the most extraordinary upsets in hockey history, Ken Dryden was hot in goal for the Canadiens as they ousted the Bruins in seven games. Game 2 featured what many perceive as one of the greatest comebacks in NHL history. With the Bruins leading 5–2 heading into the third period, the Canadiens, who had trailed 5–1, scored 5 goals in the final session to win 7–5. The prominent Canadian sports journalist Red Fisher lists the Canadiens' comeback has the 8th most memorable moment in his over 49 years of covering hockey. In game 4, Bobby Orr became the first defenceman to get a hat trick in a playoff game when Boston won 5–2.

(E2) New York Rangers vs. (E4) Toronto Maple Leafs
The New York Rangers finished second in the East Division with 109 points. The Toronto Maple Leafs finished fourth with 82 points. This was the eighth playoff meeting between these two teams with New York winning four of the seven previous series. They last met in the 1962 Stanley Cup Semifinals which Toronto won in six games. New York won five of the six games in this year's regular season series.

(W1) Chicago Black Hawks vs. (W3) Philadelphia Flyers
The Chicago Black Hawks finished first in the West Division with 107 points. The Philadelphia Flyers finished third in the West Division with 73 points. This was the first playoff meeting between these two teams. Chicago won this year's six game regular season series earning nine of twelve points.

(W2) St. Louis Blues vs. (W4) Minnesota North Stars
The St. Louis Blues finished second in the West Division with 87 points. The Minnesota North Stars finished fourth in the West Division with 72 points. This was the third playoff meeting between these two teams with St. Louis winning both of the previous series. They met in the previous year's Stanley Cup Quarterfinals which the Blues won in six games. Minnesota won this year's six game regular season series earning eight of twelve points.

(E3) Montreal Canadiens vs. (W4) Minnesota North Stars
This was the first playoff series between these two teams. Montreal won this year's six game regular season series earning eight of twelve points.

The Canadiens' upset of Boston was so sensational that the Canadiens nearly suffered a fatal letdown against the Minnesota North Stars. The Canadiens' 6–3 loss in Montreal on April 22 to Minnesota, led by the goaltending of Cesare Maniago was the first playoff defeat for an Original Six team at the hands of a 1967 Expansion franchise.

(W1) Chicago Black Hawks vs. (E2) New York Rangers
This was the third playoff series between these two teams with Chicago winning both previous series. They last met in the 1968 Stanley Cup Quarterfinals which the Black Hawks won in six games. The teams split this year's six-game regular season series.

Bobby Hull and the Chicago Black Hawks were just too much for the Rangers and the Black Hawks advanced to the finals in seven games. Hull won two games with goals on face-offs, despite Glen Sather's coverage to check him.

Stanley Cup Finals
This was the fifteenth series between these two teams with the Montreal Canadiens winning nine of the fourteen previous series. They last met in the 1968 Stanley Cup Semifinals which Montreal won in five games. The teams split this year's six-game regular season series.

The series went the full seven games, with the Canadiens winning in Chicago despite trailing 2–0 halfway into the second period of game seven. Jacques Lemaire took a shot from centre ice that miraculously escaped goaltender Tony Esposito cutting the Black Hawks' lead to 2–1. Henri Richard tied the game just before the end of the second period, and scored again 02:34 into the third, giving the Habs the lead. Montreal goalie Ken Dryden kept Chicago off the board for the rest of the game, and the Habs won their third Stanley Cup in four years. It was the final game for Canadiens superstar and captain Jean Beliveau who retired after the season. The Canadiens were the last road team to win a Game 7 of a Stanley Cup Finals until the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009. It was Al MacNeil's final game as Montreal coach — after he had benched Richard for Game 5, The Pocket Rocket declared "[MacNeil] is the worst coach I ever played for!" Although Richard retracted his "angry comment", as he called it, MacNeil still resigned.

Awards
A new award for the most outstanding player as voted by the members of the NHL Players Association, the Lester B. Pearson Award, was introduced this season and the first winner was Phil Esposito.

Jordan River Pathway

The Jordan River Pathway is an 18 mi loop trail located in Michigan in Antrim County, next to the Jordan River and the Jordan River hatchery. It includes Deadman’s Hill near U.S. Route 31 in Michigan at one end and Pinney Bridge forest campground at the opposite end. One side of the loop in incorporated into the North Country Trail. The Jordan River Valley was heavily logged for White Pine (Pinus strobus) in the early 1900s and the river was Michigan's first to be designated a Wild River (National Wild and Scenic Rivers System), unhindered by damming. Hikers interested in a shorter loop can begin at the Deadman's Hill parking area to follow signs for the 3 mile short loop down to the valley floor, around, and back up.

Talk:Gurkha Contingent

Other deployment
I'm surprise they are now stationed at International schools. But I know of some other places of deployment, I've seen them at the US Embassy, and the one beside it (can't remember whose, maybe Australian or UK) They are also at Changi Prison, Yes! Not those with contact with inmates, but they stand at the high sentry post. When you travel along Changi Road, even though he is quite far away, you can recognize the Gurkha easily with his distinctive headwear (how do you call that?) and his posture. Also on the night before Elections, when the ballot boxes are left at the polling stations for the night, it's the Gurkhas who guard the ballot boxes and polling stations, this is said to ensure impartiality. Man ... they are doing everything, how large is the Contingent actually? They seem to be overworked, do they have OT pay? I have seen them training in Palau Tekong, they were by far the best soldiers I've seen. --Vsion 05:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well I once saw them even at the American club at Stevens Road, and yeah, they guard the British embassy, which is beside the American one. I wont be surprised if they are at the Australian one too. As for prisons, they seem to have stopped guarding it? I notice cisco has taken over much of its security now. Another location where I noticed them was at Currency House in Pasir Panjang Road....to guard money of coz! :D

 * Not too sure if they ever get OT pay...but in some less sensitive locations (like Currency House), I notice they are replaced by our own SOC troopers during the night. So they only hv to work during office hours. I suppose they are still around at other impt places thou? The hat is called the "GURKHA HAT". I will expand this article in due course, while you are free to add anything too. Oh..and pictures are coming up too! ;)--Huaiwei 07:22, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I do suppose they are overstretched now, so that the prison duty is a lesser priority. I also read before about their recruitment which is very stringent. The page Brigade of Gurkhas confirms that, only 270 are selected out of tens of thousands of applicants each year! Every family in those mountainous tribes who has two sons or more will send one of them (eldest, I think) to take the test. Look forward to the pictures. :D --Vsion 07:53, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hehe...just finished writing most of the text. Wodnering how best to add in the "social life" section thou coz that is relatively unknown unless I go grap one of those Nepalise kids and start demanding answers (I do know a few of them personally.) Sekali they run home and tell their fathers I and I get exterminated by these robots moments later! :D--Huaiwei 09:49, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Haha, you don't want to mess with them. Excellent article and pictures of an intriguing topic. They being so quiet, maybe you can't get much infor. about them, that's partly what make them legendary and "fearsome". What is inside their side pouch, gas mask? --Vsion 11:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Four pictures so far...still got a few more and I am kinda wondering which one is best for display haha. I doubt I can expand much from what is displayed here too...unless...hmm....interesting things happen in which they were deployed? Oh yes that remind me. the Tekong incident!! Think I gonna add a new section soon. :D And yeah, they are carrying a gas mask. You must be wondering how I manage these shots in the first place? ;)--Huaiwei 12:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm wondering indeed, I was guessing you could be on duty yourself, but then you won't be carrying a camera, unless you are an insp misusing his power a little bit, ;-), care to enlighten us? I encountered the Gurkhas in Tekong several years before the manhunt incident, and I saw how they dashed across a large area in a flash, and in full combat order! I've seen troops from different countries training before, but have never seen soldiers that can run as fast as them, not even close! They really struck me as fearsome warriors. --Vsion 12:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Haha....some of those photos I displayed here...I actually just went right ahead and snapped them with my big camera. I was in civilian wear. But I have to wait for them to be distracted. The other shots I managed to do it while on duty...haha. Discretely of coz! ;) But all these were taken in public areas, and the event is long over, so its no more a security issue to display them now. So enjoy these rare pieces. :D Meanwhile, I hope those who manage to snap them in NDP could contribute here...saw some really impressive shots over at clubsnap.

 * Talking about the Tekong incident...mind adding the info in? Under a new section called "incidents involving GC officers" or something bah. I am tring to dig up other incidents too....wonder if you aware of a case in which a GC was killed by lightning?--Huaiwei 17:50, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually I didn't know the details of the Tekong manhunt until now after reading what you added. So the score is what, erh... Gurkhas 2, PCG 1, SAF *kosong*. This is really malu for the SAF, defeated in their own turf! Haha.. --Vsion 06:06, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Wah it was big news back then. And yes...beaten on their own turf indeed! :D--Huaiwei 17:16, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Did you know?
This looks eligible for "Did You Know"? We just have to NPOV it a bit. ;-)
 * Already nominated in Template talk:Did you know. Anyone wanna make the senence smoother and more "interesting"? :D--Huaiwei 17:17, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

LKY's comment
Just for infor, here is how Lee Kuan Yew put it in his memoir, in a rather direct manner (He was describing the time when Singapore just gained independence.) ''..., When I returned to Oxley Road, Gurkha policemen (recruited by the British from Nepal) were posted as sentries. To have either Chinese policemen shooting Malays or Malay policemen shooting Chinese would have caused widespread repercussions. The Gurkhas, on the other hand, were neutral, besides having a reputation for total discipline and loyalty.'' The racial-thing is no longer relevant today, still Lee's trust in the Gurkhas is so strong that he continue to use them and furthermore post them at every important places in the country. Talking about using foreign talents, this is quite the ultimate. :D --Vsion 01:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hah! Please add the quote to the page! :D Meanwhile, I believe race is still an issue, in the same way Malays are still preferably sent to the police or SCDF. His sense of insecurity still prevails no matter what. :D--Huaiwei 02:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * race is an issue, the older generation who lived that era are still active and they tend to be more racist lol. it has declined much and is a fair small problem compared to other countries. LKY's social engineering of mixing people together while not perfect result, has notable improvements. there is still some mistrust by the government of giving key responsibility to malay, i hope they engage them more or the malay will become isolated again.

Maria Hertogh riots
What roles did they play? Could details be added to Maria Hertogh riots? --Gbleem 19:41, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Compliment/Complement?
New at this so I don't dare to go make the change directly. Just thought under the Deployment section, "Gurkha troopers...complimented the police's stringent security measures" should it be "complemented" instead? --Sentri 01:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Corrected, thanks! --Vsion (talk) 02:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Whole Article
I think this article needs to be re-written. It is a little too prosy. It speaks more like someone rather than a Wikipedia Article.

Does anyone else think that this article is like this man who thinks "Oh wow GURKHA!" and "These guys are really, really effective! I should put this on a Wikipedia Article!!!" And this would be what you get. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.21.155.89 (talk) 14:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Relation to the united kingdom
The article had the following: ''Although the Nepalese troopers may be willing parties in their stint in Singapore, the entire arrangement has raised eyebrows amongst human rights activists. No treaty or formal agreement exists between Nepal, Singapore and the United Kingdom in relation to the enlistment of GC members, and the existing arrangements allowing for the centralised recruitment base in Nepal and the secondment of the British officer to head the GC is done via a repayment basis between the governments of Singapore and the United Kingdom with no involvement from the Nepalese authorities. Activists thus question if the British have the legal right to trade the Gurkhas with a third party, instead of the Singaporean government directly negotiating with the Nepalese for the recruitment and training of the Gurkhas.''

''As in the British Army, GC members are accorded equal status in salary scales and pensions compared to their regular local counterparts, thus allowing them to retire in Nepal at the compulsory retirement age of 45 with a sizable amount of money. In fact the status of Gurkhas in the British Army has improved particularly in the last few years, most recently with a successful high profile campaign championed by British actress and author Joanna Lumley to ensure all Gurkhas who served with the British army were allowed to settle in the U.K. after 4 years of service. In addition, to ensure better post service conditions in the U.K., the Gurkha Welfare Trust was established in 2010 seeking public donations to assist them. From September 2005, the British Club in Singapore selected the trust as one of the two beneficiaries it will support for the next two years, with the funds expected to also help any ex-GC member in need.''

''Further employment of ex-GC members in Singapore is also available should they be successful in gaining employment passes or other documents permitting their continued stay in the country. For instance, Ian Gordon, a retired commander of the GC, established a security company, Homeland Security Partners, consisting entirely of retired GC officers to provide private security services.''

The section introduces an unexplained involvement of the United Kingdom as a fact. If this is true, it must be elaborated in the reast of the article from which the supposed information is conspicously missing. There are Gurkhas inthe British army, but how are these forces related/Iintertwined. The section includes many weasel words and hype ("high profile campaign") that makes me suspect it has been added to the article in order to appear in google searches. The last section is simply an advertisement and does not belong into the article. -- Zz (talk) 10:41, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Must be male?
I think we should include in the article that to be recuited in the GC, one must be a male. Of course a source would be needed to support it. Also, the article lacks sufficient important inline citations. HYH.124 (talk) 03:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

KGOT

KGOT (101.3 FM) is a commercial radio station in Anchorage, Alaska. The station airs a contemporary hit radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia Along with its sister stations, it broadcasts from studios on East Dimond Boulevard in the Dimond Center. It carries On Air with Ryan Seacrest in middays and American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest on Sundays.

KGOT has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 26,000 watts as a Class C2 station. The transmitter is off Dowling Road near North Drive in Southeast Anchorage.

History
In the 1970s, KYAK 650 AM (now KENI) was awarded a construction permit to start an FM station in Anchorage on 101.3 MHz. Before it began broadcasting, it was given the call sign KYAK-FM. The station signed on the air on September 15, 1975.

Once it was broadcasting, the call sign were changed to KGOT and it aired an album-oriented rock (AOR) format. The station was largely known in the Anchorage radio market for its decades-long association with disc jockey Larry Wayne who also had a stint during this time at sister station KENI when it was a Top 40 station. Wayne became a born-again Christian during his time at the station and later hosted a contemporary Christian music show on Sundays. After leaving Anchorage, he became an air personality on national Christian music networks Air1 and K-Love.

KGOT flipped to contemporary hit radio in the 1990s. It started using the moniker "Alaska's #1 Hit Music Station" in 1996 under the program director Paul Walker. The station was No. 1 in the market for many years in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Some important talent included Scott & Stu, featured on KGOT for many years. The station still identifies as "Alaska's #1 hit music station" today.

Picloram

Picloram is a systemic herbicide used for general woody plant control. It also controls a wide range of broad-leaved weeds, but most grasses are resistant. A chlorinated derivative of picolinic acid, picloram is in the pyridine family of herbicides.

Picloram can be sprayed on foliage, injected into plants, applied to cut surfaces, or placed at the base of the plant where it will leach to the roots. Once absorbed by the foliage, stem, or roots, picloram is transported throughout the plant.

Herbicides containing picloram are sold under a variety of brand names. Dow Chemicals and now Dow AgroSciences sell herbicides containing it under the brand name Tordon.

During the Vietnam War, picloram and other herbicides were combined to make Agent White (commercially available as Tordon 101) and enhanced Agent Orange, which was previously conducted by the British military during the Malayan Emergency. Large quantities of these herbicides were sprayed by U.S. forces in areas where they considered its long-term persistence desirable, such as inland forests.

Safety
Picloram is of moderate toxicity to the eyes and only mildly toxic on the skin. No history of human intoxication by picloram has been documented, so symptoms of acute exposure are difficult to characterize.

Picloram is the most persistent of its family of herbicides. It does not adhere to soil, so may leach to groundwater, and has in fact been detected there. It is degraded in soil and water mainly by microbes. Picloram has very little tendency to accumulate in aquatic life.

Gardeners who use dung as fertilizer should check to make certain that the animal source has not grazed on picloram-treated hay, as the dung still has broadleaf-killing potency.

In regards to occupational exposures, the U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established a permissible exposure limit of 15 mg/m3 total exposure and 5 mg/m3 for respiratory exposure, over an eight-hour workshift.

Talk:State highways in California/Archive 3

AFD, Only the list of highways
You have a very good page here. A lot of good information. On the Edit Page it states "This page is 90 kilobytes long. This may be longer than is preferable" There is a very simiple way to solve this. Switch the List to a Template.

 * It will make the page more compact
 * It will bring it in to Wiki Compliance
 * The Template will make Navigation easier

I'd be happy to offer my time to create the template if it would help. --71Demon 05:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

The debate is now at Articles for deletion/List of California State Routes. --Rschen7754 05:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Image removal
User:71Demon made a good point in the AFD debate that even on a T-1 line this page loads slowly. On a dial-up connection it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r! All of the route signs that are not in a section heading should be removed, and I would even recommend removing those in the section headings as well. They don't add any extra information, and my personal opinion is that it makes the page look more cluttered. Blank Verse  ∅ 05:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * BlankVerse, Why did you make a false statement about me? I like templates. They are easy to navigate. Personally I think all the Highway Systems should use templates by state like the US Highway Template. Now some people have brought some information to change my mind on larger states like CA. That is the point of discussion, but it can do without the personal attacks. Rschen7754, showed me I should voice my opinion, so I did. Because you don't agree with it, you falsely accuse me of WP:POINT. I would like an apology. --71Demon 06:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * From Blank Verse  ∅  01:34, 3 October 2005 (UTC): This is your point that I was referring to: "Good point, I'm on a T-1 line and it loads slow for me. Even if you vote to keep the list, then you should probably remove all the images to make it load faster...." -71Demon 05:36, 2 October 2005 (UTC) Articles for deletion/List of California State Routes

 * The first header on WP:POINT says State your point; don't prove it experimentally. By doing an AFD on List of California State Routes you were proving it experimentally. --Rschen7754 06:13, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I didn't do that. The List had issues, and I pointed out what I thought was a possible solution. In the past I would have looked at the history and contact the users that contributed the most to a thread, and then express and opinion to the directly. You showed me the proper way to do that is to create an afd, since they didn't have a partial afd.  I still like the simplisity of a template, but you made some valid points against it.  And you are talking about making changes to the entry to make it better. Which is a good thing. --71Demon 06:32, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes you did. The proper way to approach it would have been to make your point on the Talk page and not bring it to AFD. --Howcheng 23:46, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yup... it looks cool but it takes too long to load. Sadly enough the signs need to go. --Rschen7754 05:56, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Frankly I vote to leave it as is. So what if it's over 90 KB. It's a guideline not a rule. And in this case the overdraft is well worth it. This page looks sharp and loads well for anyone not using antiquated 56K technology.Gateman1997 07:47, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The Wikipedia just isn't for people with broadband connections! Personally, I've always thought that road shields made the page look cluttered and they didn't add any useful information.

 * FYI: The suggested page size limit is mostly because some older internet browsers cannot edit the larger pages. On the other hand, page size, if it is all just text, doesn't have that much effect upon the speed of the page loading. However, having a HUGE number of graphics, even if they are individually small in size, has a major effect upon the time it takes to load a page. Blank Verse  ∅  01:27, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * My harsh but honest assessment is that anyone using an older browser or a 56K connection needs to upgrade. Browser upgrades are free for anyone to download, if they're too lazy to do so then they should be SOL. And 56K is dying out. I'm aware not everyone has broadband yet, but 2/3 of all internet users do at this point, with more getting it everyday. We shouldn't hamper Wikipedia just to pander to 56K holdouts. Harsh I know, but progress often is.Gateman1997 18:22, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * My personal opinion is that even though the roads have different classifications, in California they operate as just one big system, so the List should stay intact as one big list. On the other hand, all the road shields have a major effect upon the speed at which the page loads, yet the road shields do not add any extra useful information. Besides, they make the page look cluttered. The road shields should be removed from the list post-haste. Blank Verse  ∅  01:21, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Deleted/Unconstructed CASRs
Rschen7754 brought up an issue that hasn't been resolved yet -- what are we listing on this page? All CASRs, past, present, and future, or just those with current routing? I ask because I just removed a deleted route CA-21 yesterday and created the Deleted California State Routes article. IMHO because we have the deleted and Unconstructed California State Routes articles, this page should list only those that have current routing. Additionally, the Routebox links to this page with the word "Current." Thoughts? --Howcheng 16:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Wholeheartedly agree. Yup. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs - count) 01:23, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Interstate highways and U.S. Highways
71Demon has suggested that the Interstates and US highways should be moved to List of Interstate Highways in California and List of U.S. Highways in California. Please vote and discuss this matter below. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs - count) 00:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Interstates and US Highways on this page. California State Routes include Interstates and US Highways, click here to see why. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs - count) 00:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The edit is a good logical edit. Interstates and US Highways are differently signed and it makes a logical edit.  I have done other similar edits are large entries that need paired down without issue. Wiki has a warning that it is still to large of an entry, but I don't see an immediate way to make it smaller.  You can also expand the detail on the CA Interstates and US Highways now adding some more history without worrying about size.  --71Demon 01:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * However, this is a list of California State Routes and needs to list all of them. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs - count) 02:50, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the road shields, but keep Interstates and US Highways on this page. Blank Verse  ∅  01:36, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete the road shields, but keep Interstates and US Highways on this page. I concur with user BlankVerse's well-articulated position. 71Demon appears to be inherently unable to understand basic elements of California transportation law — and we must remember that it is the law that makes the difference between a freeway and a parking lot.  A highway is a highway because the law makes it illegal to park in the middle of a piece of land designated as such.  --Coolcaesar 02:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the shields and the page as it is. No need to change the whole page because a few holdouts aren't upgrading.Gateman1997 18:23, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as is . The law says that Interstates and US Highways are California State Routes within California borders. This is also part of the California State Highways WikiProject definition. --Howcheng 23:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but delete the shields. After more thought, I agree with BlankVerse -- the shields are pretty, but in the tradeoff between load time and aesthetics, I vote for load time. --Howcheng 16:06, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't care about the highways, but the shields need to go. I've got a 6Mbps cable connection, and the page takes several minutes to download. --Carnildo 05:25, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

If the consensus hasn't changed by tomorrow (October 8) October 13, I will restore the Interstates and U.S. Highways to the list. (A simple revert cannot be done since people have made good edits to this page in the meantime). However there iosn't a good consensus on the images, so I'll wait on that one. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs - count) 03:27, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

 * For this to be a proper Wikipedia survey, and to increase the number of editors participating, you should list it at Current Surveys and Requests for comments. Blank Verse  ∅  10:29, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs - count) 17:40, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm closing the debate now and here are the results: Delete the road shields, but keep Interstates and US Highways on this page. It was 5-1 for the restoration of the Interstates/ US highways and 5-1 for the shield deletion. However it will take some time to put this decision into effect- the page was edited since the Interstates and US highways got removed so a simple revert is not possible. Also, the image deleting will take a while as well. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:59, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

List of Interstate Highways in California and List of U.S. Highways in California
Should these pages be taken to VFD? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:59, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes since the result of the debate above was to merge them back here. -- howcheng  [ talk • contribs • web ] 16:17, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I concur. --Coolcaesar 04:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

And there they go: Articles for deletion/List of Interstate Highways in California and Articles for deletion/List of U.S. Highways in California. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 03:08, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Formatting
Has anyone delineated the proper format for route aliases on route descriptions? Some are bolded, some are italicized and others link right back to the main article (which seems absolutely unnecessary on this page, at least). There is also some inconsistancy among the main articles as well. If posted elsewhere and I missed it, I'll remove here. My thoughts are to go with italicized only, as the others just confuse the eye and detract from the descriptions themselves. Linking redirects also seem unnecessarily redundant. --Kosar 18:17, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Bold should refer to where the route is defined by law. For example, California State Route 72 is defined from California State Route 39 to Atlantic Boulevard. Thus, Route 39 and Atlantic Boulevard are in bold lettering. When I started out on this project, italics were reserved for routes that for some reason or another do not meet the article route.

Naming
They're not "State Highway Routes." The first reference you cited only used "State Highway Route" a fraction of the times that "Route x" is used. The second usage is only in the title. The third was from a 1933 document and doesn't help us today. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  03:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah - they're officially State Highway Routes, or Routes for short. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 03:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Your proof doesn;t support that. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  03:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The legislative definition sure as hell does. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 04:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The 1933 one? Or the one route that uses it out of the 200 others (and it stands apart from the others since it's a scenic notation)? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  04:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The current one. State Highway Route X is not always used - it is usually abbreviated Route X. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 04:17, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It says where? No original research. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  04:19, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It says in the Streets and Highways Code. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 06:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Where? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  06:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Article 3. The State Highway Routes (Sections 300-635)
 * 231. As used in this chapter, "route" means State highway route and the route numbers are those given the State highway routes or portions thereof by the commission. Each complete route is described in article 3 of this chapter. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 07:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * And so if we accept that we have to accept "State highway" and "State highway route" uncapitalized? We can't have it both ways. Caltrans doesn't follow the code to the letter of the law. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  00:23, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't care much about capitalization. You figure out that part. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 01:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Seriously if it's "as used in this chapter" that takes away some of the worth from that? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  05:21, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * They use "route" in that chapter. "State highway route" is the one that's not only in that chapter. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 21:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Change it to:

We could use a format like list of state highways in Utah. --NE2 10:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Incorrect Date??
Second paragraph under history ends with this -- " . . . which had been active in signing national auto trails and local roads since the mid-1900s."

Shouldn't it say since the mid-1800s? Because it goes on to talk about further work done in the 1930s. Garbagemania (talk) 23:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

M234 launcher

The M234 Riot Control Launcher is an M16 series rifle or M4 series carbine attachment firing a M755 Grenade round. The M234 mounts on the muzzle, bayonet lug and front sight post of the M16. It fires either the M734 64 mm Kinetic Riot Control or the M742 64 mm CSI Riot Control Ring Airfoil Projectiles. The latter produces a 4 to 5 foot tear gas cloud on impact. The launcher is capable of firing from 4 to 6 projectiles per minute. The velocity is sufficiently high to prevent dodging by target individuals at effective ranges. The effective range of the projectile is 40 meters on an individual and 60 meters on groups of individuals with a maximum range of 100 meters. The main advantage to using Ring Airfoil Projectiles is that their design does not allow them be thrown back by rioters with any real effect. The M234 is no longer used by United States forces. It has been replaced by the M203 40mm grenade launcher and nonlethal ammunition.

Ring airfoil projectile
The ring airfoil projectile (RAP) is designed as an incapacitant. The original design used kinetic and tear gas projectiles for use in the M234 Riot Control Launcher. The design of the RAP is an aerodynamic, circular-tubed-shaped munition that discharges tear gas on impact and/or uses blunt force trauma to subdue or deter a subject. The main advantage to using RAPs is that their design does not allow them be thrown back by rioters with any real effect.

Talk:List of Interstate Highways in California

"Future" Interstate 7 or 9
I have removed this from the page - there's no formal proposal on the table, and even if a proposal was made and approved (which in itself would be several years from now), identifying and securing the funding, then upgrading the route to Interstate standards will take many more years. In other words, this is speculation right now, not fact. I'm happy to hear other viewpoints on this. Dtcomposer (talk) 17:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The Federal Highway Administration does list it as a future Interstate corridor under the name "California Farm-to-Market Corridor". It has been written into federal law by Congress, so I say it merits inclusion in the table.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:44, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Ye Tianshi

Ye Tianshi (1667–1747) was a Chinese medical scholar who was the major proponent of the "school of warm diseases". His major work, Wen-re Lun (Discussion of Warm Diseases) published in 1746, divided the manifestations of diseases into four stages: wei (defensive phase), qi (qi-phase), ying (nutrient-phase), and xue (blood-phase).

Life
Ye Tianshi was born in 1666. His father as well as his grandfather, Ye Shi, were also physicians. He learned medicine from his father and, following his father's death, from his father's pupil of the surname Zhu.

Work
Ye Tianshi wrote little and most works attributed to him were compiled by his followers after his death. He is best known for proposing that feverish diseases progressed along four stages, a theory he laid out in his book Discussion of Warm Diseases. Those stages are wei (defensive phase), qi (qi-phase or active qian phase), ying (nutrient-phase), and xue (blood-phase). The characteristics of wei are fever, sensitivity to cold, headache, and rapid pulse. Next qi is the phase of most active disease, characterized by high fever, sweating, dry mouth, and rapid pulse. Ying is characterized by rising fever at night, agitation, confusion, and weak pulse. Finally, xue consists of agitation, rash, and in some cases vomiting of blood or blood in the stool or urine. In his treatments for feverish diseases, Ye recommended cooling substances.

Athena (song)

"Athena" (the working title being "Theresa") is a song written by Pete Townshend and recorded by The Who. It appears as the first track on the group's tenth album It's Hard, released in 1982. Written for actress Theresa Russell, the song was the first single from It's Hard. The single was a moderate success, entering US Billboard on 4 September, reaching No. 28 and the UK Singles Charts on 2 October, reaching No. 40.

Background
"Athena" was originally written by Pete Townshend after an encounter with the American actress Theresa Russell. After seeing a Pink Floyd performance on their Wall Tour, with Russell and his friend, Bill Minkin, Townshend was rejected by the actress when he attempted to romance her. Townshend said of the incident:

"The song was written after I had been to see The Wall with my friend Bill Minkin and the actress Theresa Russell who was about to marry the film director Nic Roeg with whom I hoped to work on a new version of Lifehouse. I got drunk as usual, but I had taken my first line of cocaine that very evening before meeting her and decided I was in love. When I came to do the vocal on the following day [Feb. 15, 1980] I was really out of my mind with frustration and grief because she didn't reciprocate."

Under the working title "Theresa," the song's name was changed to "Athena." Despite this alteration, Townshend still felt the song was too personal, claiming, "It was just too revealing." Roger Daltrey, however, disliked the song for this change.

"No, I never liked that song ["Athena"]. It's a great record. I think what happened with that song, it was originally called "Theresa" and then Pete was talking to me about Nick Roeg's girlfriend and how he fancied her, and that song was written about her - but then it changed into 'She's a bomb' and I think I've got a psychological problem with it. I listened to it on the record the other day, and it's a great record; there's so much energy on that thing but I still don't think there's a center to that song. The fact that he changed the title in that and didn't stick to what it was supposed to be lost its center to me."

- Roger Daltrey, The News of the World, 2010

A demo for the original "Theresa" was first recorded and presented to The Who by Pete Townshend during the Face Dances sessions. However, the song was not used until It's Hard.

On "Athena" Roger Daltrey and Townshend share lead vocals. John Entwistle also adds horns to the track.

Release
"Athena" was released as the first single from It's Hard, backed with "A Man Is a Man" in Britain and "It's Your Turn" in America. The single achieved moderate chart success, reaching number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100, but received good airplay on album-oriented rock and later classic rock radio formats. "Athena" also reached number 40 on the UK Singles Chart, making it both the band's last UK and US top 40 single. The single also reached number five in Canada.

Billboard described it as a "comparatively lilting love song set to a fast but fluid track" and said it was "one of the Who's most melodic and warmhearted" songs.

In addition to appearing on It's Hard, "Athena" also was released on both The Ultimate Collection and the deluxe edition of The Who Hits 50! compilation albums.

Live performances
The Who only played "Athena" a total of ten times on the band's 1982 tour, and have not played the song again ever since.

On October 30, 2017, at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida, Roger Daltrey performed "Athena" live for the first time in 35 years.

Talk:Front Row (software)

POV Dispute
"The remote is based on the interface of the iPod shuffle which has six buttons and demonstrates the simplicity portrayed by the design of all Apple products, compared to the 40 buttons of a Windows Media Center remote."

The wording presents a bias against MCE of unneeded complexity. In addition, there's no reason to compare the remote for Front Row to the MCE remote. For one, this article is about Front Row not MCE. Secondly, the MCE remote is designed for a system that does more than Front Row (i.e. channel changer - that's 10 buttons right there). In short, the comparison does not belong in the article, nor is it balanced. Paul Cyr 05:09, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That is absolute POV. I've made an edit that limits that section to the facts - I love Apple products, but Wikipedia should not be the location of Apple's promotional material.  The fact that Front Row is meant to compete with MCE is contained in the next sentence.  Does anyone oppose my edit? Bbatsell 06:10, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I've re-edited the section, noting that the comparison originated with Apple. I don't find the button-number comparison POV because they are simply facts.  And important ones too  But I agree that "demonstrates the simplicity portrayed by the design of all Apple products" was perhaps pushing it.  Feel free to find a quote from microsoft saying why MC remote is better if you think this isn't balanced.  --Quasipalm 14:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't want to put a quote in by MS for the reasons in my original post. As well "It is likely that Front Row was released to compete with Media Center." do you have a source for this? Paul Cyr 15:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's quite obvious that it is meant to compete with Media Center, it has very similar functions, a similar user interface, and aims to bring the Macintosh to a good deal of usability in the living room, like Microsoft have been trying to do with their Media Center software for PCs. What is it competing with if it's not competing with Media Center? — Wackymacs 16:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If it is so obvious you surely can provide a source. As for similar functions, it doesn't even have a PVR.  "What is it competing with if it's not competing with Media Center?" So iLife is competing with what MS product then?  This isn't really a new product as it is an improvement to the iMac.  Saying it was designed to compete with MCE "just because" is like saying the iPod Nano was designed to compete with something from MS.  Just because MS has something that has to do with media management doesn't mean Front Row is competing with it. Because of this uncertainty, for the article to even have a chance of having that comment in you must provide a source. Paul Cyr 16:47, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Not every product has to be competing with something, so your comments about the nano and iLife are irrelevant. We can assume that Front Row is competing with Media Center because Steve Jobs himself spent time comparing their features and remotes in his keynote, which happens to be where your debate started. Wikipedia should not be used to promote a given product, but facts used in product campaigns don't have to be kept secret. When a company is competing with another, their arguments are valid material. Sidney 07:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You (Paul Cyr) asked me for a source, but I wasn't the one that put that in originally, I just replaced it since it's not POV. However, I'll leave it out for now.  Now, the fact that most remotes have many more buttons is very relevant and it's certainly not POV.  Saying it's better than the media center remote would be POV, but this line didn't -- it simply offered the numbers for comparison.  I think the idea that this is POV is meritless.  --Quasipalm 23:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This wouldn't have even been an issue had the original editor not used the phrase "...and demonstrates the simplicity portrayed by the design of all Apple products, compared to the...", which is clearly POV. Paul Cyr is very correct in the fact that Front Row does not have MANY of the functions of MCE.  So, if the phrase is going to compare the remotes and imply that Apple's is simpler, in my opinion it should also be stated that the probable reason for this is the different aims of the two different pieces of software, as well as their differing functions.  Otherwise, it is POV.  Bbatsell 02:38, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Head, nail, Bbatsell hit ;) Paul Cyr 03:19, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

POV continued
So are we in agreement that the comparison of buttons between Front Row and MediaCenter is OK -- as long as it is phrased in a way that implies that neither remote is inherintely superior? --Quasipalm 18:11, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I would still avoid it for my original reasons, however if it did not imply one controller was better than another, then at least it is not POV. Paul Cyr 03:21, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation needed
I just noticed that about half of the links coming to Front Row are actually about the BBC Radio 4 arts programme, rather than the Macintosh application. Clearly we need some disambiguation, but I have no idea what the best way to do it is — should the application remain at Front Row with the radio programme moved to Front Row (radio), or should Front Row become a disambiguation page with the application moved to Front Row (Macintosh) or something? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 17:19, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * From what I can tell, a few more than half are for the Mac software, so it'd be easier just to change the 5 links for the radio program to Front Row (radio). --Quasipalm 19:00, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Done. If you want to make the radio show page, do so at Front Row (radio).  One of the 5 links was actually for a third item: a video label company, so 4 were changed to the radio link, and one was changed to a third link: Front Row (label).  Thanks for pointing this out.  --Quasipalm 19:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I've created a stub at Front Row (radio), which anyone else who's interested can expand, and added a disambig notice at the top of Front Row. Thanks for taking care of the links! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 21:47, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

This page should actually be titled "Front_Row_(Software)" or similar in keeping with Wikipedias current naming scheme when a name has multiple meanings. This page "Front_Row" should be the main disambiguation page"

Illegal file link?
Should wikipedia post a link to the Front Row Enabler, which is an illegal download and violates Apple's copyrights and terms of use? Alegoo92 16:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Front Row Enabler is not illegal. AlistairMcMillan 22:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

How to boot to Front Row?
Is this a reasonable page to ask about setting up to boot the mac directly into Front Row, if it's supposed to be a media centre, rather than a computer with aspirations? Ta.
 * I don't think Front Row is a .app file, otherwise you can. All you have to do is replace Finder as the default shell. The issue is that when you leave Front Row, the system might drop you to your wallpaper rather than log out or shut down; the specifics I am unsure of. - PGSONIC 01:36, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Version Number
Though I agree that the version of Front Row under leopard should be 2.0, the application itself claims it to be version 1.0. Should we keep 2.0 or change it to be inline with Apple's versioning? — Obeattie 07:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

 * 1.0 is the first version of the app itself, not Front Row. I Say keep 2.0...

no DIVX ?
"As of OS X 10.5 (Leopard), Front Row is a standalone application. This means that codecs installed to Quicktime will not work in front row. So even if you have the divx codec installed, Front Row will not play DivX movies "

Not true.. It's playing divx's just fine if you've got the right codecs installed. i.e. Perian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.167.109.121 (talk) 11:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

keyboard combination for starting Front Row
The second symbol in the keyboard combination given for starting front row is the symbol for the power button. Perhaps this was meant to be humorous.

FrontRow 2 overrides iTunes
FrontRow 1 was just a controller for iTunes, entering or exiting didn't stop the music that was from playing, making possible to the user step away and control iTunes with the remote keeping the playlist and music and when he got back he could just exit FrontRow and keep listening. A good example is a user using FrontRow not finding the song he wants, he can exit FrontRow, do a search in iTunes, start to play the song and get back in FrontRow, still listening to the song. In Leopard, with FrontRow 2 this is impossible because it's independent from iTunes, pausing it when the user activates FrontRow, and stopping the music that the user was listening to in, when exiting the app. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.193.227.10 (talk) 23:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

iTunes rentals
It seems to me that iTunes rentals, meaning a movie you rented in iTunes, do not show up in the front row interface for some reason. I've seen this reported by others as well. Perhaps this should be added to the article, since it is a significant functional problem with front row. Mrsteveman1 (talk) 19:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Broad sheet glass

Broad sheet is a type of hand-blown glass. It was first made in Sussex in 1226.

Production
It is made by blowing molten glass into an elongated tube shape with a blowpipe. Then, while the glass is still hot, the ends are cut off and the resulting cylinder is split with shears and flattened on an iron plate. The quality of broad sheet glass is not good, with many imperfections and mostly translucent. Due to the relatively small sizes blown, broad sheet was typically made into leadlights. The centerpiece was used for decoration in places where looking through the glass wasn't vital. If the piece was large, it was possible to see bubble tracks and strain lines.

Other methods for making hand-blown glass included blown plate glass, crown glass (introduced to England in the 17th century), polished plate glass and cylinder blown sheet glass. These methods of manufacture lasted at least until the end of the 19th century. The early 20th century marks the move away from hand-blown to machine manufactured glass such as rolled plate glass, machine drawn cylinder sheet glass, flat drawn sheet glass, single and twin ground polished plate glass and float glass.

Broad sheet glass was first made in the UK in Chiddingfold, Surrey on the border with Sussex in 1226. In 1240 an order was placed for this glass to be used in Westminster Abbey. This glass was of poor quality and fairly opaque. Manufacture slowly decreased and ceased by the early 16th century. The choice of this location may have been due to the availability of sand, the abundance of bracken (the ash of which can be used to make potash for soda glass) and the significant beech forests to provide charcoal as fuel for the kiln. Examples of glass from this area can be found in Guildford Museum.

Whilst French glass-makers and others were making broad sheet glass earlier than this notably William Le Verrier, Schurterrers and John Alemayne. Between 1350 and 1356 Alemayne secured orders for glass to be used in St. Stephens Chapel, Westminster and St Georges Chapel, Windsor.

Organisation of Bulgarian Scouts

The Organisation of Bulgarian Scouts (Bulgarian Организация на българските скаути, Organizatsia na Bulgarskite Skauty), the primary national Scouting organization of Bulgaria, became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1999; work towards World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts membership recognition remains unclear. The coeducational Organisation of Bulgarian Scouts had 2,109 members as of 2011 and 304 members as of 2021.

History
The Organization of Bulgarian Young Scouts (Организацията на българските младежи разузнавачи - ОБМР) was founded in 1923 from three first scouts in Varna, Sofia and Samokov. In the second half of 1924, ОБМР was recognized and admitted as a member of the World Bureau of Boy Scouts, based in London. In 1940, with a brief letter to the International Scout Office in London, the leaders of the ОБМР reported on their self-dissolution, forced by the Ministry of War, General Hristo Lukov.

Scouting was outlawed after the war as well, when communists controlled Bulgaria.

Rebirth
Scouting resumed in 1989 when the Berlin Wall was taken down, but it did not meet WOSM requirements for membership until 1995. The negative legacy of the Communist youth organizations contributed to slow growth of the Scouting movement, as it left the Scouts ill-equipped and without experienced leadership or established programs.

The Organisation of Bulgarian Scouts was accepted into the World Organization of the Scout Movement on January 17, 1999 as its 151st member and given an official welcome to WOSM at the World Scout Conference in South Africa on July 25, 1999. There are 57 Scout groups spread through Bulgaria, including in 20 of the largest cities and towns, with a membership of approximately 2,000. Sea Scouts are present in the city of Silistra, located on the Danube River, and on the Black Sea. The organization is volunteer-run. The Organisation of Bulgarian Scouts is open to both males and females. Bulgarian Scouts are well-publicized in their country and active in community development, including participating in projects related to reforestation and the Bulgarian Red Cross. They have an annual national Jamboree.

The Bulgarian noun for a single Scout is Скаут.

Program

 * Cubs are 7 to 11 years of age
 * Scouts are 12 to 18
 * Rovers are 18 to 35

Motto
Scouts—"Be Prepared"

Sea Scouts—"Love the Sea"
