'80s fantasy movie[edit]

Looking for a 1980's mythical/fantasy movie, where there's this witch who's got many replaceable heads, which she keeps each in a transparent glass container. GoodDay (talk) 00:20, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added a heading to your question, hope you don't mind. Dismas|^(talk) 02:56, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Return to Oz. Staecker (talk) 12:22, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's the one. Again, you people amaze me. GoodDay (talk) 23:01, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

looking for examples of...[edit]

...modern ultrapositional chess grandmasters who play openings like the English, French and QGD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.17.226 (talk) 01:07, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a starting point, we have an article, List of chess grandmasters, which has some links at the bottom to FIDE's lists of grandmasters. Sorry, that's all I've got. Comet Tuttle (talk) 17:41, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

goo goo dolls[edit]

I would really be interested in finding out the name of the young lady they used as the "wife" in their "notbroken" video —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goofyami (talk • contribs) 05:59, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone who wants to see the video, it's on YouTube (not a copyvio version, seems to be released by the band). Dismas|^(talk) 00:05, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I posted a link to the video before realizing that it's shot entirely in silhouette. There is a 'making of' video here which shows the actress's face for anyone who might be able to make a visual identification. Dismas|^(talk) 00:28, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delgados Article[edit]

I just skimmed the Delgados article, the Scottish indie band. Didn't they sing "Just Between You and Me"? I don't see it in their discography. It seemed like it'd be in the singles section, because it got a lot of radio play, but maybe it's "buried" in one of their albums. I was curious about the release date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.126.175.200 (talk) 17:32, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember them doing a song by that name. Could it have been a different band?--Michig (talk) 18:31, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search on "Delgados just between" comes up with the lyrics for the April Wine track (Just Between You and Me, released in 1981). I don't remember The Delgados doing a cover version, though. Tevildo (talk) 20:31, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

reference to "Emergency!"[edit]

I was watching a rerun of NCIS (TV Series) on USA Network. In that particular one, Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David are escorting a star witness from Paris, France, to Washington, D.C., via New World Airlines, a fictional airline. Later in that episode, the star witness is having an allergic reaction to residue from a snack item. Tony and Ziva see what's happening. They immediately contact Donald "Ducky" Mallard from the airplane via their cell phones. From the autopsy room, Ducky gives Tony and Ziva the proper instructions on treating the star witness. Tony and Ziva carefully follow Ducky's instructions. Then the star witness is feeling better. Was that segment inspired by Emergency! by any chance?24.90.204.234 (talk) 21:45, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Food poisoning has been a common plot element for a long time, back as least as far as 1956's Flight into Danger, though it's usually the pilots who end up sick. What makes you think that the NCIS writers might have "borrowed" from Emergency in particular? Clarityfiend (talk) 03:34, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not talking about food poisoning. The star witness was allergic to peanuts. (Her pillow and blanket must've been sprinkled with dust from a peanut pack.) While she was having an allergic reaction, Tony and Ziva described the symptoms to Ducky over their cell phones. That prompted Ducky to instruct Tony and Ziva to administer proper pharmaceuticals to the star witness.24.90.204.234 (talk) 06:16, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For those not familiar with Emergency!, the stars were two paramedics who called up doctors at the hospital by radio for instructions on how to proceed with each patient. StuRat (talk) 07:22, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anything is unique there, in many cases EMTs (not paramedics) are required to have medical direction in order to administer advanced treatments or drugs. At least that's what it says in my EMT-B training manual. HominidMachinae (talk) 07:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

EMT-B cannot administer advanced medication regardless of medical direction! An EMT-B can only administer glucose, epi pen, inhaler, nebulizer, aspirin, and nitroglycerin. The EMT-B's scope of practice is the medication listed above, Advanced first aid, CPR, Automated External Defibrillator, spinal and bone fracture immobilization, emergency childbirth, vital signs, and packaging patients.

Food poisoning, allergic reaction. Same difference. Nothing particularly original about the situation. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:04, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
