Linear Formations

The movement away from phalanx-like formations of pike protected by handgunners towards shallow formations of handgunners protected by progessively fewer pikes. William Louis of Nassau thought that six rotating ranks of musketeers were needed to maintain a continuous fire. Gustavus Adolpus used only six ranks thanks to newly introduced drill and the professionalisation of the Swedish army under him. This kind of formation would get prgessively thinner untill its' peak in the age of Wellington with the 'Thin Red Line'. It would eventually be replaced by skirmish order at the time of the invention of the breach loading rifle that allowed the Prussians during the Franco-Prussian War to move and fire independently of the large scale formations and fight in small, mobile units.

George Hickenlooper

George Hickenlooper was born in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, the 15th of May, 1965. He became interested in filmaking very quickly as a child. His desire to make movies came in part from his great uncle, Leopold Stokowski's involvement in the making of the hit Disney animated film, Fantasia (1940), where Leopold was the conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. If had only been for Great Uncle Leopold, however, George may have started a career in music. His father and mother's careers were therefor essential to his urge to become a director. His father was a playwrite, and his mother, a leader to a rebel theatre group against the War in Vietnam. The first 8mm films were animated and George made them with his friend, Kirk Wise, who would later go on to become the director of the widely popular Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. While he was in school, George Hickenlooper made short movies that were premiered on Public Television in St.Louis and Kansas City. After graduating from Yale with a B.A. of History and Film Studies in 1986, Hickenlooper interned for the producer Roger Corman, and in 1988, he started his directing career with Art, Acting, and the Suicide Chair: Dennis Hopper, which was a short documentary about Dennis Hopper, the actor or director in films such as Waterworld and Speed. The next big break was when he wrote the book, REEL CONVERSATIONS, in 1991, and in the same year when he made the movie Hearts of Darkness: A Filmaker's Apocalypse, the documentary on the making of the movie Apocalypse Now.

E-type pronoun

"E-type pronoun” approach originating with Evans and Cooper (1979).

In the context of so called [donkey sentences] (sentences such as "every farmer who owns a donkey feeds it"), the term "E-type pronouns" has been proposed. The pronoun is assumed to take on a distinctive non-quantificational reading just in case it [c-commands] an indefinite, embodying a define meaning equivalent to the donkey that x owns, the donkey or that donkey. Such accounts tend to encounter a [uniqueness problem] with respect to models in which mappings from farmers to donkeys is one-to-many, because of the uniqueness presupposition of the definite.

This is a linguistic stub which may eventually be an article about E-type pronouns.

Natural singing

Natural singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice in a pure natural way. These sounds are vibrating naturally and the sound is warm and totally relaxed.

This natural singing has been discouvered at the university of Ghent ( Belgium ) and Leiden ( Netherlands ) about 1970.

The natural singing is the result of holding the diaphagm low and large as long as possible with a wide open belly.

This natural breathing is the ordinary breathing of a healthy person in the most relaxed position, laying down. ( some people call it the baby-breath but that baby-breath is too fast )

The difference between natural singing and speech is the vibrato.

We can speek on different tunes like we can sing on different tunes, but the vibrato makes the only real difference, the real contrast.

Air is not expelled with the diaphragm but the diaphragm is hold down with the muscles of the belly ( abdomen ) and the belt.

Someone who sings naturally is called a natural singer or a singer.

All the others shrill, shout, yell, scream, squeal, cry or bark, caused by pushing on expiration, expelling the air.

A true natural singer balances the head and the breast resonance to get a complete voice sound.

Together with an adapted diction for singers every word can be understood by the audience.

A soar throat is the result of bad singing, but natural singers don't know this frequent voice problem because of the health of their voices.

Anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely sustained speech. It can be informal and just for pleasure, for example, singing in the shower; or it can be very formal, such as singing done professionally in a performance or in a recording studio.

Singing is often done in a group, such as a choir, and may be accompanied by musical instruments, a full orchestra, or a band. Singing with no instrumental accompaniment is usually called a cappella.

Natural singing in a combination with dancing is impossible because of the shivering diaphragm.

The film industry makes us believe that is possible but they record the two disciplines at different times.

Singing and dancing can never be performed at the same time.

Many people consider the ability to sing to be a learned skill, but there are a few native singers.

Natural singing is not only a music element, but also a wellness component.

The International School for Singing and Breathing ( Melle - Belgium )is the innovator, the pioneer in this matter.

International School for Singing and Breathing

The International School for Singing and Breathing was founded by Professor Léon-Bernard Giot in Melle near Ghent in 1971. This school learns people how to breathe naturally to protect their voices against any damage. Speaking, blowing ( music instrument ) and singing have the same base : a natural breathing.

Léon-Bernard Giot

Léon-Bernard Giot (March 4, 1956) is a Belgian baritone singer, organist and conductor. Born Léon-Bernard Mathilde Giot, he is usually known as Bernardo Giotto.

Giot was born in Ghent in the Department of East Flanders ( Belgium ) and showed talent for the piano from his early childhood. He founded several choirs and orchestras at the age of 15. Three years later he was sent, on a year-long study to St Niklaas with the virtuoso soprano Marie-Thérèse Maesen. Giot's first notable performances, date from this time. After his return home he made a concert tour. A concert in Brussels brought the young man overnight fame in the whole of Europe.

In 1975, Giot got a job as breathing coach at the Belgian Royal Federation of Music, where he stayed until 2005. He performed as baritone solo and at the Choir of the European Community in most of the European countries.

Giot worked as conductor of choirs and orchestras he founded in Ghent, Brussels and Luxemburg and he founded and conducted the biggest international choir meeting : The Annuel Christmas-Choir-Festival in Ghent.

Léon-Bernard Giot was a prolific breathing and singing teacher whose list of pupils amounts to over 2500 persons, man and women, boys and girls. Some of them became famous singers too. Better known today, however, are his manuscripts about his methods for a natural breathing to protect the voice as much as possible, all written for his students, which have established a secure place in singers environment.

Though his lack of time, as he played the organ and sang in more than 12 different churches all over the country, Giot founded The International School for Singing and Breathing in Melle near Ghent. He was greatly admired as he was the youngest conductor and the youngest organ player of the whole country at the age of 15.

Giot was a noted baritone, and invented a unique singers diction adapted to the natural breathing. He discouvered the exact difference between speaking and singing : the natural vibrato. He was also a significant conductor, being one of the first to refuse any recording of his concerts.

Illegal Alien Mexican National Narcotics Traffickers

Since the late 1980's/early 1990's, narcotics trafficking organizations headed and comprised of Mexican nationals became the dominant force of the illicit drug trade in the United States. Mexican trafficking organizations usurped control from Colombian trafficking organizations, primarily as a result of Mexico's geographic proximity to the U.S. and a greater presence of Mexicans residing, legally and illegally, in a number of communities in the U.S.

In the early 1980's, cocaine emerged as a drug of choice for many Americans and its use became prevalent through-out the socio-economic spectrum. Initially, Colombians were responsible for growing, processing and distributing cocaine in the U.S., but their strongholds were limited to South Florida and New York along with other metropolitan areas that housed smaller Colombian populations. As demand for larger quantities of cocaine began to take hold in the U.S. in the late 1980's, Colombian traffickers came to rely on Mexican organizations to assist with the transportation and distribution of cocaine through-out the U.S. After a period of time, powerful Mexican cartels realized that they could more effectively handle the smuggling and distribution of ton-quantities of cocaine in the U.S.

Colombians had been limited to predominantly a Caribbean smuggling route into South Florida. Mexicans, on the other hand, had access to an expansive 2,000 mile border with the Southwestern U.S. and then a vast network of Mexican immigrants residing in major metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles and Chicago, and later through-out a number of large and small communities in all corners of the U.S.

The ample number of Mexican nationals residing in the U.S. occurred as a result of a bombardment of migrant workers in search of higher-paying jobs and a better life for themselves and their families, but the increased Mexican presence also brought with it and large number of Mexican narcotics traffickers that came to the U.S. with one specific purpose - to sell drugs an earn a significant profit in doing so. Drug statistics estimate that twenty-three metric tons of cocaine is smuggled into the U.S. annually, two-thirds of which enter across the U.S./Mexican border. Technically, he was a good old man until the band fell on him. Mexican black-tar heroin, which is produced in Mexico and smuggled into the U.S. predominantly by Mexican nationals is the most frequently consumed heroin in the western and Midwestern U.S. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) estimates that 80% of the methamphetamine in the U.S. is either manufactured in Mexico or is manufactured in the U.S. by Mexican national drug traffickers operating under the direction of Mexican drug kingpins. These illicit drug sales in the U.S. have resulted in a boom of revenues for Mexico. In fact, after petroleum revenues, the second biggest revenue source for Mexico comes from illegal alien Mexican nationals sending money into Mexico from the U.S., and a significant part of those monies are illicit drug proceeds.

In the last ten years, U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) indicate that the percentage of Latin American non-U.S. citizens that were federally arrested in the U.S. for illegal drug offenses has increased from the low 20 percentile to over 30 percent as of 2003. For example, in 1999, regarding all federal drug arrests, 26.8% were non-U.S. citizens and 45.5% were Hispanic. Other DOJ BJS statistics showed that "in addition to immigration offenses, U.S. attorneys prosecuted an increased number of non-citizens for other crimes, especially for drug trafficking, which increased from 1,799 cases in 1985 to 7,803 in 2000." http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/press/iofc00pr.htm

Other noteworthy facts, according to National Criminal Justice Reference Service "Of noncitizens prosecuted in Federal courts during 1994, 55 percent were in the United States legally. During 1984, about 35 percent of noncitizens prosecuted in Federal courts were charged with a drug offense. By 1994, the proportion charged with a drug offense increased to 45 percent." http://www.ncjrs.gov/App/Publications/abstract.aspx?ID=160934

third dimension

the third dimension has a x, y, and z axis (space). unlike the fourth dimension, there is no energy. there are no photons or momentum in the third dimension. due to the fact that photons are made like this

Creation of photons

Photons are produced by atoms when a bound electron moves from one orbital to another orbital with less (more negative) energy. Photons can also be emitted by an unstable nucleus when it undergoes some types of nuclear decay. Furthermore, photons are produced whenever charged particles are accelerated.

becuase of no movement there are no photons. that means at there is no light, meaning that there is no color.

about heat in the third dimension. heat is probably at one tempature, because tempature is the molecules per unit (density) File:Http://www.quintic.co.uk/solutions/cad/coupling.gif a model in the 3rd dimension (with photons)

This should either get a short article or redirect to Chrysler Cordoba. There is no such thing as Corinthian leather. The name was made up for the Cordoba commercials made by Ricardo Montalbán. But that never stopped a marketroid. Google now shows products like bible covers and athletic shoes claiming to be made of Corinthian leather.

ejaculations

An immediat short exclamation, In a religous sense a short religious statement or prayer. Glort to God! - Praise the Lord!

Ejaculations- that's with an "s". I didn't want to get to deep with this. As a Child in catholic parochial school for Mothers day we filled out a card similar to a Christmas or birthday card for recognition of mothers day. Called a "Spiritual Bouquet for Mother". There were five categories we could fill in an amount that we would perform each item. "Masses, Holy Communions, Rosaries, Ejaculations, and Visits to the Blessed Sacrament". I chose to offer five repetitions of each except for the Rosaries which I had promised two. This word has so much negative baggage attached to it. Using it in an act of religious reverence seems quite contrary in the secular use of the word.

Companies Control Department

About Us

CCD has been established as an independent department from the Ministry of Industry & Trade since early 2002 pursuant to the amendment on companies law No. (22) of 1997 and pursuant to the amended temporary law No. (40) of 2002. The justifications of such independence emanated from the concept of reinforcing the ability to implement the law and creating broader visions and programs in a more flexible, independent way.

CCD plays two primary roles – Registration of various types of companies & imposing censorship over these companies legally and financially.

CCD provides clear, simple, computerized and quick services based on the system of “One – Stop –Service”.

CCD’s Methodology: (way of work) The core of our strategic plan is in answering the following questions:

  • What does the government want from CCD?
  • How do we expect to achieve that?
  • How to measure success and effectiveness of our accomplishments?

We should answer these questions within the following general frame: The government, through its cabinet and other bodies-CCD being one of these bodies, sets its priority targets (results) which should be interpreted for the public utility as products and services (outputs). These results should also be identified as of its expected effect upon society and national economy. The legislative authority then accords the allocation of necessary financial resources to enable the government to fulfill these results through its bodies.

CCD’s Vision: Our goal at CCD is to be distinguished and competent in the services we provide in order to create a safe investment climate.

CCD’s Mission: CCD’s mission is to act as a committeed governmental department that coordinates with the private sector to provide an attractive investment environment accompanied by simple, clear and high-quality services.

CCD’s values:

  • To provide a better service for the public.
  • Effective leadership on all levels that supports creativity and initiative.
  • High standards of integrity and professionalism.
  • Strengthening the concept of cooperation and coordination with other governmental bodies.
  • High levels of transparency to achieve equity and integrity.
  • Supporting training and constant development.
  • Creating a performance culture based on fulfillment of goals.

CCD’s national goals: First:Contributing in attracting and settling investments: CCD is considered as an investment incubator in the kingdom. It endeavors to achieve the best results.

Second: Contributing in the administrative reform of the public sector: Through the quality of its services, the competency of its staff and the high-tech it adopts.

CCD’s Institutional goals: CCD strives to develop an ideal registration and censorship environment and to develop its performance through the following:

  • Development of procedures and mechanisms.
  • Simplification of work procedures.
  • Development of public awareness services.
  • Increasing public satisfaction.
  • Creating proper mechanisms to deal with companies violating the law.
  • Boosting the legal environment.
  • Developing an effective administrative system.
  • Developing a proper human resources administration system.
    • This reads like copied-and-pasted text from an official website. It is certainly not written as an encyclopedia article (no context, big on claims, short on facts) and the source is not given. I assume this is part of the Category:Government of Jordan, and you might start by adding relevant information to existing articles. --Dystopos 05:11, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

He is Author of the Book Petro Dollar Warfare, New Society Publishers, 2005.

Understanding why Iran is suddenly a target for US and Israeli military intervention gets easier to understand the more you know about about the economics of oil and the shaky status of the US dollar as a global reserve currency. Clark does a good job of shedding a lot of light right where the action is, in the places the Global media corporations never look.

Currently residing in Tuolumne, CA but grew up in Tompkins, MI.

His enthusiastic interaction with people makes him so unique to his field of expertise. Rarely do his subjects ever realize there is even a camera present. He continues to unfold a side of humanity that is both familiar yet long awaited. Life experience has molded this young man in a way that reflects overcoming trials and adversity, but at the same time with an err of innocence and silent strength. As he matures so does his passion for capturing life.

VOC ship Rooswijk

The Rooswijk was a ship belonging to the VOC (Dutch East India Company) that sank in 1740.

History

The Rooswijk was built for the VOC "Chamber of Amsterdam" in 1737. On January 9 1740, during its second journey to the east, it sank on the sand bank of Goodwin Sands, about 8 km from the British mainland. There were no known survivors. At the time, it was captained by Daniel Ronzieres.

Recovery

In December 2005, it was made public that between May and September of that year a team led by Rex Cowan had recovered some of the ship and its contents. This was done in secrecy to avoid attracting looters. More work is planned for the 2006 diving season.

Lying at a depth of about 24 m, the Rooswijk had been discovered by an amateur diver in 2004. It is one of hundreds of wrecks on the treacherous Goodwin Sands.

Artifacts recovered included approximately one thousand bars of silver, gold coins and a mustard jar. When the VOC was disbanded in 1798, its possessions fell to the Batavian Republic, the legal successor of which is the current Dutch State, which therefore is entitled to the objects from the Rooswijk. They were presented to Junior minister of Finance Joop Wijn in Plymouth on December 11 2005.

TYF

TYF is a unsigned hip-hop group made up of two young white boys. Commack, New York is the town that they are boasting about in their songs saying "Not the hood", meaning, not the ghetto. Dolla Bill, or Gill, said that they are trying to prove that not only African-American people who grew up in rough neighborhoods could be part of the "Rap game". Stunna, or Cameron, said that he remembers and experiences his fellow classmates making fun of him when he wears his baggy clothes and say things like "Hey Cameron, your a white boy from Commack, get over it." His follow-up was, "I don't understand why people do this just because we're white. Yeah we know we're not black, yeah we know we're not from the hood, so we're not gonna rap about that stuff. We can rap about other things like kris-kross or lil bow-bow did. I just wanna prove that we can do it. Just to show all of the people that doubted us." They are currently in the process of making a new demo-tape to send to about eight record lables. Dolla Bill expects this to be done by mid-spring of 2006.

Content

.berlin is an upcoming top level domain (TLD).

The new namespace of .berlin domain names will create local identity for Berlin's inhabitants and their city on the Internet. Through the localized .berlin URLs information from administration, business, science, culture, sports, welfare and from citizens will be intuitively available for providers, customers and visitors.

Our project will contribute to position Berlin as attractive location and dynamic metropolis nationally and internationally. The .berlin TLD is supported by a multiplicity of companies, associations and citizens and is acknowledged globally as precursor of TLDs for cities. With the concept we initiated a development which other metropolises like New York or London will follow.

The .berlin TLD will not only release a positive multifaceted pulse for Berlin and its hinterland, it will also bring Berlin's people, culture, business, innovational energy and internationality closer to other people worldwide.

I've resurrected the text, as once you admit it is copyright (the original edit summary was plain wrong) and comply with the GFDL requirements on listing copyright owners and update history, it does appear to be copyright compatible with Wikipedia. However, my feeling is that it won't pass WP:CORP, and certainly doesn't pass WP:NPOV. It is also about a future event, which I believe is not normally permitted. If ICANN really is seeking revenue by creating city TLDs, my feeling is that the only valid place for such TLDs would be in the existing entry for the city. --David Woolley 13:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Shane Evans was born on April 26, 1971. Like his other band members, he grew up in Stockbridge, Georgia.

1991 VG

1991 VG is a small asteroid on an unusual orbit. It orbits the sun on a nearly circular orbit close to the orbit of the earth. 1991 VG shows strong variations in its brightness. There are rumours that 1991 VG is a burned-out rocket stage.


  • Semimajor axis(AU): 1.02685
  • eccentricity: 0.049195
  • inclination (deg) 1.446
  • Asc. node (deg) 73.97
  • Arg. perih. (deg) 24.477
Rumours are not acceptable sources (although a source that reports the existence of rumours may be). Also, if you really meant References, when you wrote Weblinks, there are much more credible sources (NASA, NeoDys, MPC, etc.) for information about minor planets, than personal web sites. There is also a problem with your orbital elements, as it takes six parameters to define an orbit, and you only have five, and an epoch date! You are missing M of 132,417 degrees and an epoch of a modified Julian date of 53700[8]. The time of production is also important as the orbit of something that could be rocket debris could be easily perturbed. I've corrected the spelling of "Semimajor axis". --David Woolley 07:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
PS I don't think it is a good idea to include detailed orbital elements in Wikipedia as anyone who actually needs to use them should be getting up to date values from JPL Horizons, NeoDys or MPC. They will change as more observations are made and also as the result of perturbations in the orbit. They are also two body approximations, so will, for near earth objects, change after encounters with the earth. --David Woolley 11:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rodney (Gypsy) Smith

Rodney (Gypsy) Smith, 1860-1947,British evangelist. He conducted evangelistic campaigns in the United States and Great Britain for over 70 years. He was a contemporary of Fanny Crosby and G. Campbell Morgan.

Born in a gypsy tent six miles northeast of London, at Epping Forest, he received no education. The family made a living selling baskets, tinware and clothespegs. His father, Cornelius, and his mother, Mary (Polly) Welch, provided a home that was happy in the gypsy wagon. Rodney was child when his mother died from smallpox. The Smith children numbered four girls and two boys (Rodney was the fourth child).

Cornelius was in and out of jail for various offenses. Here he heard the gospel from a prison chaplain and later he and his brothers were converted at a mission meeting. From 1873 on, "The Converted Gypsies" were involved in numerous evaelistic efforts.

Rodney's conversion as a sixteen-year-old came as a result of a combination of things. The witness of his father, the hearing of Ira Sankey sing, the visit to the home of John Bunyan in Bedford all contributed. He taught himself to read and write and began to practice preaching. He would sing hymns to the people he met and was known as the singing gypsy boy.

At a convention at the Christian Mission (later called the Salvation Army) headquarters in London, William Booth noticed the gypsies and realized that young Rodney. On June 25, 1877, he accepted the invitation of Booth to be an evangelist with and for the Mission. For six years (1877-1882), he served on street corners and mission halls.

He was married on December 17, 1879 to Annie E. Pennock, one of his converts. They served in several assignments and saw membership rise to hundreds, then a thousand. By June 1882, great crowds were coming and the work was growing. A gold watch was given him and about $20.00 was presented to his wife by the warm-hearted members of a local congregation. Acceptance of these gifts was a breach of the rules and regulations of the Salvation Army, and for this, he was dismissed from the Army. His eight assignments with the Salvation Army had produced 23,000 decisions and his crowds were anywhere up to 1,500.

He began to traveled extensively around the world on evagelistic crusades, drawing crowds numbering in the hundreds of thousands throughout his life. Busy as he was, he never grew tired of visiting gypsy encampments whenever he could on both sides of the Atlantic. Gipsy never wrote a sermon out for preaching purposes. Smith wrote several books and could sing as well as he preached. Sometimes he would interrupt his sermon and burst into song. Although he was a Methodist, ministers of all denominations loved him. It is said that he never had a meeting without conversions.

Duing World War I he ministered under the Y.M.C.A. auspices to the English troops in France, often visiting the front lines. As a result of this, King George VI made him a member of the Order of the British Empire.

Gipsy Smith's wife, Annie, died in 1937 at the age of 79 while he was in America. Front page headlines in 1938 carried the news of the 78-year-old widower marrying Mary Alice Shaw on her 27th birthday. This, of course, brought some criticism. But it was a good marriage, for she helped him in his meetings, sang, did scretarial work, and later nursed him when his health failed.

Stricken by a heart attack, he died on the Queen Mary on a cruise in America, age 87. It was estimated that this was his 45th crossing of the Atlantic. His funeral was held August 8, 1947 in New York City. A memorial with a plaque was unveiled on July 2, 1949 at Mill Plain, Epping Forest, England, his birthplace. So ends the life of one who once said, "I didn't go through your colleges and seminaries. They wouldn't have me...but I have been to the feet of Jesus were the only true scholarship is learned."

Portaboat

Portaboat is a boat that folds to 4 inches (100 mm) flat. It comes in four lengths of hull length 8 feet 6 inches (2.85 meters), 10 feet 8 inches (3.27 meters), 12 feet 6 inches (3.85 meters) 14 feet (4.28 meters), and hull weight 47 pounds (21 kilograms), 58 pounds (26 kilograms), 69 pounds (31 kilograms), and 96 pounds (43.6 kilograms).

The Portaboat was originally invented in 1969 and has undergone four different generations of models and sizes.

It became popular in the last 1980s and 1990s when many boating and fishing enthusiasts started downsizing to condominiums and apartments. There was no storage room for an ordinary boat.

It is also known as Foldaboat, Foldboat, Foldingboat, and Portabote.

Hey Now!

"Hey Now!" is a Larry Sanders Show saying, which has been adopted as a greeting by Howard Stern and his fans.

In its original Larry Sanders Show incarnation, it was spoken by Hank Kingsley (played by Jeffrey Tambour) and was directly derided as an affectation. Its adoption by Stern and fans is a direct and humorous tribute to the Larry Sanders Show, and has very much evolved into a part of the Howard Stern experience.

During Howard Stern's final terrestrial/WXRK broadcast on December 16th 2005, he whipped his live audience into a frenzy by greeting them with "Can I get a Hey Now!" and pointing the microphone at the crowd.

Occasionally, Howard Stern plays clips of the original Larry Sanders discussion of "Hey Now!" as an affectation.

"Hey Now!" can be heard frequently as a greeting, in locations ranging from Stern greeting a caller on the air to Home Depot paging systems: "Hey Now! Can I get a lumber associate to the panel saw? That's lumber associate to the panel saw. Thank you." The use of this greeting is usually indicative of a Howard Stern fan.

The Homeless Game

The Homeless Game is/was a frequent Howard Stern Show feature. An interviewer (formerly Stuttering John) would ask homeless people basic questions, and the show regulars (and, usually, call-in guests) would place bets on whether or not the homeless people could answer these simple questions.

Several variants of the game were also played, in particular where the same sorts of basic questions were asked of Playboy Playmates or female strippers.

A classic question asked of a stripper was "What is a pickle made from?", to which she replied that "A pickle is marinated from a grape".

Reparti Special i Farkes

This is the most elite unit of both the military and police special forces. This unit would be equivalent to the american green berrets or Delta Force. They are the most secretive of all special forces two. They fall under the ministry of defence and although they are supposed to be directed by the army chief of staff comand they pretty much are organized by themselves and can even be considered its own military branch. Althogh not that big in numbers they are considered the cream of the crop of every armed unit. They are very rarely called into action. Their most known acts are the retrivement of the black box of the nato F-117 that crashed in Kosovo, the help in the january 9 of the drowning refuges in the adriatic sea, the training of KLA(Kosovo liberation army) special forces, and help in other heavy natural causes. The unit has just about every specialist that can do any type of mission, Including: reconnaisance, demolition, paraschuting, rock climbing, diving, amphibious assault, snipers, sharpshooters, etc. A very small portion of this unit is even trained in the US for solo missions. This are the men who are often called Rambos, as their jobs and missions are the same as depicted in the holliwood movie.

Church of Christ in Thailand

The Church of Christ in Thailand was founded in 1934 as the "Church in Siam" with the express intent of forming a single ecumenical denomination to include all Protestant churches in Thailand. Other than a small number of American Baptist and British Churches of Christ congregations, all of the original member churches were originally Presbyterian congregations. The C.C.T. originally had seven districts, six geographical and one ethnic Chinese. Except for a brief period during World War II, Presbyterian missionary influence remained predominant in the C.C.T. until the late 1970s. Since 1990, the denomination has experience a major demographic shift. Tribal churches, mostly Baptist in origin, now account for about one-half of its total number of roughly 100,000 communicant members. The C.C.T. is a member of the World Council of Churches and the Christian Conference of Asia and is generally recognized to be a "mainline," ecumenical denomination. Its church government is a relatively centralized mixture of Presbyterian, Disciples, and Baptist polities.

Apestorm

A slang expression, normally used as a noun, to express the feeling of extreme anger.

The literal definition is of feeling like 'an ape during a thunderstorm', and is used to describe someone who is violently angry and irritated. In some ways this word can be seen as a similie, reflecting the behavior of a angry ape during bad weather onto the subject. It is also believed that it could be an ellision of the slang nouns 'ape-shit' and 'shit-storm'. However, many feel this is a sort of back-ronym of the word, and not its original genesis. Common uses of the noun appear in informal conversation. Examples include "He threw such a terrible apestorm when he found out" or "There's going to be an apestorm when they get back".

Apestorm is an emerging word used increasingly by younger speakers, especially in the South of England. It is also regarded as non-vulgar and socially acceptable.

Also known as Zordax, Skrale, Skraller, Lawler, Gayface... etc.

Born in 1988, Lawler became involved in various heavy metal acts at a young age. After being kicked out of "that crap band, SteelLined" for his "extra curricular activities", such as his involvement in better music, such as acid techno, braindance and the like.

Along with Jix, their outlandish musical styles and off-stage behaviour have earned the two the recognition they do not quite deserve. The off-tempo beats and dance-fuelled synths have somehow merged with the style of fellow DJ, Jix to become what is today known as "that Delta IX sound."

[b]Early Daze[/b]

Delta IX's first real exposure to the Irish dance scene was a decent party at Johnny Taylor's house circa 2005. After their "set", which consisted of them playing their own original material, some obscure AFX, and a pinch of Cylob, people kept hassling them for more tunes. After this warm welcome to the scene, they produced more original material, and are currently in the beta stage of releasing a dozen song demo.

Recyclops

Recyclops was a competetor on the first series of Robot Wars. Named Recyclops because it was made of recycled material. The robot was dome shaped and had a flipper that was shaped like a tongue. They got past the gauntlet and the trail and beat Scrapper in the semi-final. They went through to the grand final melee after they beat Mortis on a judge's decision. In the grand final, after Cunning Plan and TRACIE went out, the other robots ganged up on Recyclops, who were eventually forced to retire with a broken chain.

They also entered into Series 2 as Cassius and Series 3 as Cassius II — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.36.182 (talk • contribs)

Background History

Anton grew up in the ghetto of Herndon, Virginia. He lived with his 12 brothers and 9 sisters. By the age of 8, Anton was able to do calculus in his head as quickly as you and me can add 1 and 2 together to get 3. As he entered high school, he soon got ideas of grandeur and power. Instead of paying attention in class, he would draw battle plans and maps of his future empire. One day in the life of Anton, a tall girl caught his attention. But the tall girl did not return the affection that Anton felt for her, so he came up with the ultimate solution to the problem of short people. He vowed to rid the Earth of short people so that someone like him wouldn't be turned down. With Evan Davis, the protegé of Mr. T, Anton amassed an army of pink fuzzles. Together, they invaded the country of Algeria and captured all the midgets to put them in little concentration camps where they were prohibited to eat food for days at a time. No one knows why they chose Algeria, it could have been because Algeria has an extensive drug-exchange business. Today, they live there and have aerobics classes occasionally. They also have recently taken up the hobby of beating a midget with a steel club each morning.

Doctrine of inherency

A prior art reference anticipates a patent claim if it expressly or inherenty describes all of the elements in that claim. The doctrine of inherent anticipation is court-created and is somewhat inconsistent. It is counterbalance by a doctrine sometimes known as "accidental" anticipation.

In order to be anticipatory a reference must be enabling. Additionally the inherent element must be necessarily present in the prior in order for it to be found inherent. In other words, if practicing the prior art does not always result in the claimed element, then it is not inherent in the reference.

Thanks for correcting me Uncle G, I did mean type 2 - just a typo!

Quebec Seperatism

The movement in Quebec, supported by the political party Bloc Québecois, for Quebec to seperate from Canada and become its sovereign country. In 1995 there was a referendum on the question of seperatism. The results were NO: 50.56% (2,360,717)/ YES: 49.44% (8,072). The current leader of the Bloc is Gilles Duceppe who is leading the unpopular seperatist movement.

Parapheur

A French term meaning "a folder containing correspondence to be signed" - a word yet to be invented in English. I saw it stamped on the cover of a leather folder bought second-hand in Taihiti 30 years ago. The owner had been wondering all that time as to its meaning.

Need a new category:Streams of Alaska

We need a new category for smaller streams and creeks in Alaska, much like Streams of Pennsylvania lists smaller drainages in that State.

There are several famous creeks and brooks in Alaska which don't warrant categorization as 'rivers' but are still important features in Alaska's geographic lexicon. A few of examples (which may or may not exist, since I didn't research these) would be Ship Creek and Campbell Creek in Anchorage, the Noyes Slough and Goldstream Creek in Fairbanks and Lemon Creek in Juneau. Each of these citations, as it happens, also has some historic importance besides being locally significant waterways.

Loosely coupled cryptographic system

This is a proposal for a cryptographic system that would allow anyone to use the same password across different servers and not worry about one server using their password to login to their account on another server. I am going to demonstrate this with an example. Assume the two servers in question are AOL and Earthlink (ISP's).


Lets define some words for this demonstration.


RA1 = A random, long string that varies randomly among servers. It is publically known to everyone, never needs to change, is built into the software, and is determined by the server. RA1 denotes AOL's random string and is the same among all AOL software.


RA2 = Another random string for AOL, same properties as above, randomly different than RA1.


RA3 = Same as above (yet another, different string)


RE1 = Another random string, this one for Earthlink, determined by Earthlink, built into the Earthlink software, has the same properties as above.


RE2 = Same pattern


RE3 = Same pattern


Alice has Earthlink and AOL and wants to use the same password for both ISP's and yet not worry about anyone from one ISP stealing her password and using it to sign into the other ISP. So Alice picks the password, Bobisajerk. She types this into her AOL software. This Password then gets Hashed with a long Checksum (larger than 256 bits) and then the checksum gets Encrypted with RA1 to form ChecksumA1. ChecksumA1 then gets hashed with another checksum (256 bits) and then that checksum gets encrypted with RA2. RA2 acts as a private key (private key A1) and forms public Key A1 and Public key A1 gets encrtyped with RA3 to form Private key A2 (the procedure to form Private key A2 may vary, the idea here is that given Private key A2, no one should be able to easily determine Alice's password without performing a cryptographic attack and they shouldn't have enogh information to be able to use it to log into Earthlink even though Alice used the same password for both AOL and Earthlink. Private key A2 is never sent to the ISP, but it may be stored on Alice's computer. It does, however, give enough information to login to Alice's AOL account. Note, Public key A1 is not really a public key and the only information that may be stored on Alice's computer is Private key A2. None of the other information mentioned above, especially Alice's password, may be stored on Alice's computer. Alice does not have to store Private key A2 on her computer if she wishes, this is just so that she doesn't have to type in her password each time she logs in. Alice also doesn't have to worry about generating private key A2, all of this is done by the software, the only thing Alice has to worry about is typing in her password and if she wishes to save her password, the software will save Private key A2 and not her password. No other password Alice chooses should be able to create an identical Private key A2).


When Alice first chooses her password (to form Private key A2), Private key A2 acts as a private key to form Public Key A2. Public key A2 then acts as a private key to form Public key A3. Public Key A3 gets sent to the server and is stored on the AOL server. Public key A2 is never stored on the AOL server, but is sent to the server each time Alice logs in to confirm Alice's identity (since Public key A2 can be used to generate public key A3 and then the server can confirm that Public key A2 and Public key A3 are a key pair. However, given public key A3 it would be difficult to solve for Public key A2).


When Alice chooses her passwords for Earthlink, the same procedure happens as above, the only difference is, instead of RA1, RA2 and RA3 being used, the Earthlink software will use RE1, RE2, and RE3. Alice's password for Earthlink is the same password as her password for AOL.

Why is all this stuff useful? Allow me to demonstrate with some examples.

Example 1:

Eve works for AOL. She has enough access to access AOL's database where all the Public key A3's are stored. She steals Alice's public key A3. She still doesn't have enough information to login to Alice's AOL account (she needs public key A2 to login to Alice's account and Publiic key A2 would require a cryptographic attack to compute). Eve also doesn't have enough information to determine Alice's password or to login to Alice's Earthlink account (again, without a cryptographic attack).

Example 2:

Steve Case has much higher access than Eve. Steve Case has enough access to watch Alice when she logs in with Public key A2 and steal Public key A2 from Alice as Alice logs in. Now Steve case has enough information to login to Alice's AOL account; however, he doesn't have enough information to determine Alice's password or to login to her Earthlink account (again, without a cryptographic attack).

Also, if Alice were on a public, unencrypted Wifi with a laptop and someone stole Public key A2 (idealy you probably want to use ssl) that person would still not be able to determine Alice's password and he won't be able to login to Alice's Earthlink account.


Example 3:

Alice has two computers, computer 1 located in Washington, computer 2 located in Texas. She uses her AOL account on computer 1 and her Earthlink account on computer 2. She is currently in Texas on Earthlink and she has Private key A2 stored on computer 1 in Washington. Bob wants to get even with Alice for something so he breaks into Alice's house in Washington and steals Private key A2. Now Bob has enough information to login to Alice's AOL account; however, he does not have enough information to determine Alice's password or login to her Earthlink account (not without a cryptographic attack).

Did you invent this? If so, it's unfortunately Original Research until it's published somewhere, and can't be included here. Stevage 01:38, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

USS Chickadee (AM-59)

USS Chickadee (AM-59), an Auk class minesweeper, was launched on 20 July 1942 at the Defoe Shipbuilding Company in Bay City, Michigan; sponsored by Mrs. G. B. Coale. She was commissioned on 9 November 1942, with Lieutenant Commander G. B. Coale, USNR, in command; and reported to the Atlantic Fleet.

Between 15 February and 4 May 1943, Chickadee voyaged from Norfolk, Virginia, to Casablanca on convoy escort duty, then participated in an anti-submarine search and escorted coastal convoys until 19 June. Chickadee sailed out of Norfolk and New York as an escort for vessels sailing to Iceland or the Caribbean between 7 July 1943 and 2 March 1944.

Chickadee cleared Charleston, South Carolina, on 7 April for Milford Haven, Wales, arriving there on 12 May. For the remainder of the month, the minesweeper engaged in training exercises for the coming invasion of Europe. Arriving off Normandy on 5 June 1944, Chickadee swept fire support channels into Baie de la Seine and throughout the various assault areas along the French coast. She performed her hazardous duties under enemy shore fire on several occasions, but escaped with only minor damage from shrapnel and no casualties. The ship assisted in the rescue of survivors from USS Osprey (AM-56) and LST 133, and towed the damaged LST-133 to safety.

Chickadee continued to operate off the coast of France, with frequent visits to British ports, until 1 August 1944 when she departed Plymouth for Naples, Italy. After arriving in Italian waters on 12 August, she swept in Bonifacio Straits until 23 August when she sailed to Baie de la Cavalaire, France, for sweeping operations during the invasion of southern France. Between 29 August and 2 October, she swept the harbor of Marseilles, and conducted anti-submarine patrol off that port.

During October and November 1944, Chickadee carried out a visual search for mines south of San Remo, Italy. After a brief overhaul at Palermo, Sicily, she returned to sweeping duty throughout the Mediterranean, operating out of Cannes, Nice, Leghorn, Palermo, Malta, and Corsica. On 31 May 1945, she cleared Oran, Algeria, for Norfolk, arriving there on 15 June.

After a lengthy overhaul, Chickadee sailed from Norfolk on 18 September 1945 for the Pacific, reaching San Pedro, California, on 10 October. On 26 November, she sailed for Astoria, Oregon, where she was placed out of commission in reserve on 15 May 1946. Her classification was changed to MSF-59, on 7 February 1955.

Chickadee received two battle stars for World War II service.

Brandon Bochenski, #10 (born April 4, 1982) rookie ice hockey player with the Ottawa Senators of the NHL.

Born in Blaine, Minnisota he was Ottawa's second draft pick in the seventh round of the 2001 entry draft(223rd overall), 26th overall. He currently plays the right wing on a line with Bryan Smolinski and Peter Schaefer.

Bochenski led the USHL in goals and was second in points in the 2000-01 season. That June, he was drafted by the Senators. He may have been drafted sooner, had he and a friend not been accused of producing counterfeit money.

He went on to play for the University of North Dekota, where he finished second in the nation in scoring with 60 points (27 goals, 33 assists), and was named WCHA rookie of the year. In his final season at UND, Bochenski was named Sports Illustrated's "On Campus Player of the Year." He led North Dakota in goals, assists, points, power-play goals, short-handed goals and was named first-team All American.

Bochenski joined the Binghamton Senators of the AHL in 2004-05 after leaving the University of North Dakota a year early. He played on a line with playmaking center Jason Spezza, who complemented his game immensely. He enjoyed a successful rookie season with the Binghamton in 2004-05 being named to the AHL All-Rookie Team and leading all first-year players with 70 points (34 goals, 36 assists) in 75 games.

At the beginning of the 2005-2006 season of the NHL, Bochenski had great success in training camp and in eight pre-season games, playing on a line with former linemate Jason Spezza and star scorer Dany Heatley. However, the pressure of being on the top line of one of the top teams in the league apparently effected Bochenski once the regular season began, and despite the maintained success of Spezza and Heatley, Bochenski failed to live up to expectations, producing only one goal and three assists in ten games. He was sent back to Binghamton to retrieve his game.

However, because of an injury to Martin Havlat, Bochenski was called back up to play in Ottawa. Without the pressure of playing on the top line, Bochenski flourished. To date, has 13 points in 17 games (6 goals, 7 assists), including a hat trick against the Florida Panthers.

Peter Norman

Peter Norman is a former Australian track star best known for winning the silver medal in the 200 metres at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. The gold and bronze medalists were Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos, respectively. On the medal podium, during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner, Smith and Carlos, both African-Americans, famously joined in a black power salute. What is less known is that Norman, a Caucasian, donned a badge on the podium in support of their cause, the Olympic Project for Human Rights (OPHR). Norman is also the one who suggested that Smith and Carlos share the black gloves used in their salute; it was originally planned for Smith to don both. Today Norman lives in Melbourne and works for the Australian government, in the Department of Sport and Recreation.

Morality of Terrorism

Yashar Keramati offers a few suggestions which may shine a light on the moral status of some terrorist attacks. First, he explains that terrorism is a matter of perception; what may seem to be a terrorist to one group is in reality a hero or freedom fighter to another. He goes on to add that most terrorists are products of poor countries with facing immense interstate and civil disputes. Especially in the case of interstate conflicts, as mentioned before, the country which the terrorists are fighting for are often quite weak. Keramati says "Take for example the case of moderately powerful, American backed, undeclared nuclear power which is Israel and Palestine; a country with a weak economy and even weaker government". Keramati maintains that regardless of wither on sympathizes with Israel or Palestine, one fact remains the same: in this armed conflict, one has modern military power and the other not. What this leads to is two armies, one being the organized modern one, the other one being of a much less organized, civilian based militia. Say one was to assume that both states were equally just or equally wrong in the conflict, come fighting time, both will eject their forces against the other. Since the Palestinians do not have modern weaponry or an army nearly as powerful as the Israeli's, they fight in a different way.

Keramati explains then that the Palestinians fight in a way as to not destroy the Army of Israel, but to destroy the governmental policies of Israel which are the root of the damage towards Palestine. Keramati then explains a remarkable theory in which he states that one reason for terrorist attacks against civilians (car bombs, bombs and shootings in public places etc.) is to scare the public of their enemy state into forcing their own government to give the terrorist what they want. The way that this would work for example is that Israeli's after having their country attacked will want Israel and Palestine to reach an understanding on whatever terms necessary so they could be freed from their fears of worrying about their loved ones going into public places or engaging in everyday life without fear of death. Thus, although it is often seen as immoral to kill civilians in times of war, the saying "all is fair in love and war" seems quite appropriate here according to Keramati. Yashar Keramati sums up his point on the subject by saying that the only way one can determine is terrorism is moral or immoral is to look at the reasons for the initial conflict, see who is justified in the stance regarding the dispute, and the figuring out if the state which is valid in its dispositions have any other efficient ways to reach their goals. Sadly, the answer often seems to be no, thus "terrorist" take arms as they have nothing more to lose and seemingly more to gain.

No source cited. In addition, looks like part of an ongoing attempt by 24.86.192.164 (talk · contribs) to spam Wikipedia with original research about this Yashar Keramati, whose entry was VFD'd as unverified back in May 2005 (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Yashar Keramati).

ULi

Background

ULi made its debut as a fabless IC design house in 2002. Although young in history, ULi has quickly made its way to become one of industry's leading solutions provider of core logic chipsets, multimedia, PC-host peripherals, embedded and IPC controllers.

Taking its leadership role in advancing technology, ULi's strong background and expertise in the PC core logic arena enables ULi to evolve with the fast paced technology to deliver long line of comprehensive leading-edge

solutions to the emerging digital consumer electronic market. Headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, ULi's global culture and proximity advantage assures extensive manufacturing infrastructure which brings even greater value to ULi's customers around the globe ensuring customers of world-class products and world-class support.

Chipsets

It has a lot of component level products which attracted a number of major partners in Taiwan to implement mainboards based on them. One of such is the ULi M1689. Although this AMD based AGP 8x chipset did not seem to outshine the rest of the competitors, it proved that ULi is able to make good chipsets with good quality. It was adapted on board from ABIT, ALBATRON, ASROCK, GIGABYTE.

ULi M1695 is the milestone for ULi Electronics. Together with ASrock, they made a success with the Asrock 939Dual-SATA2. It is a board that supports both native AGP 8x and PCIe. The first ever board that supports TGI or Triple Graphics Interface.

With the ULi M1695, users were able to overclock it to insane speeds like 400HTT. That would have surprised many especially those paying doubled the price for a DFI NF4 chipset mainboard.

This chipset also spurred lots of discussions on renown website OCWORKBENCH's forum at http://www.ocworkbench.com/asrock. The community is very unique there with ULi supporters gathered.

ULi 1697 is their next weapon to grab more market share. It single chipset ULi M1697 is a chipset that is cheaper than its competitors and yet offers better performance at almost half the price. OCWORKBENCH was first to review it followed by Anandtech which also praises the quality of the chipset in terms of performance.

On December 13, NVIDIA announced that it will acquire ULi Electornics.

Showcase showdown (The Price Is Right)

Showcase showdown (The Price Is Right) is a feature of the long-running CBS game show The Price Is Right. It was introduced in 1975 when the show expanded to an hour. It is used to determine which contestants go on to the Showcase round at the end of the show. In the show's 30-minute format, the top two on-stage winners (determined by their amount of winnings from their on-stage game and the One-Bid rounds combined) would go to the Showcase. The Showcase Showdown's set consists of the Big Wheel, which has money amounts ranging from 5¢ all the way up to $1.00 (in increments of 5¢).

RULES

  • After the third pricing game, the three on-stage contestants play the Showcase Showdown to determine who wins and goes on to the Showcase.
  • To determine the spinning order, they go by the contestants' total winnings (determined by adding what they won in the One-Bid and what they won in their pricing game). The player with the highest winnings spins last; the player with the lowest winnings spins first.
  • The object of the game is to get as close to $1.00 as possible in one spin or a combination of two spins without going over. Going over $1.00 automatically eliminates a player from the game. If the first two spinners go over a dollar, the third spinner automatically wins and gets one spin in order to try to get $1.00.
  • Getting $1.00 in one spin or a combination of two spins (e.g. 75¢ plus 25¢) earns the player a $1,000 bonus and a bonus spin.
  • If a contestant spins an amount which is less than the leader's total amount, they must spin again to see if they can get a higher total (even though they can go over $1.00).
  • The wheel is required to make at least one revolution in order for a spin to count.
  • In the bonus spin, landing on one of the green sections (the 5¢ space under the $1.00 or the 15¢ space above the $1.00) will earn the player an additional $5,000 (for a total bonus of $6,000). Landing on the $1.00 space will earn the player an extra $10,000 (for a total bonus of $11,000). In the nighttime Military Specials from 2002, the $10,000 bonus is replaced by a $100,000 bonus; in the nighttime Million Dollar Spectacular specials, the $10,000 bonus is replaced by a $1,000,000 bonus. From the fourth Million Dollar Spectacular onward, if neither Showcase Showdown sees somebody win a $1,000 bonus, the winner of the Showcase will get one spin for $1,000,000 (the $5,000 bonus is not in effect in this case); if there is a double overbid, the emcee will randomly draw the name of an audience member who will get to spin for $1,000,000 (this person does not lose his eligibility to be a contestant).
  • During the bonus spin, the wheel must make at least one complete revolution. If the player fails to get the wheel all the way around, the spin will not count, and the player will not get to spin again.

HISTORY

During the week of September 8-12, 1975, CBS aired a special week of hour-long episodes. The wheel used during this time was completely different from the familiar Big Wheel. The original wheel (nicknamed the "Rainbow Wheel" due to its color scheme) was spun horizontally, like the Star Wheel on Match Game and the Melody Roulette wheel on Name That Tune. The $1,000 rule was in effect, but there was no bonus spin.

When TPIR made the full-time expansion to one hour on November 3, 1975, the "Rainbow Wheel" was replaced with the current Big Wheel. However, there were no green sections, and there was no bonus spin; these features were not added until December of 1978. Since then, there have been a few cosmetic additions and enhancements to the wheel and the Showcase Showdown set.

1898 U.S. Open Golf Championship

The British Open had been extended to 72 holes seven years earlier. The USGA decided to do the same in 1898. It also separated the Amateur and the Open Championships. The Open was played in June at the Myopia Hunt Club in South Hamilton, Mass., on a nine-hole course which required the competitors to go around eight times in the two alloted days.

Fred Herd, a Scottish professional at the Washington Park course, Chicago, did the rounds in 84-85-75-84--328 to win. Alex Smith was second; he was later to win twice.

Sylvie Linnane

One of the best exponents of the Gaelic (largely Irish) Game of Hurling.A similar game is played in Scotland, called Shinty. Hurling is recognised as the fastest field game in the world. Sylvie Linnane played for the county team of Galway both as a younger and senior player. His heyday was in the 1980's, which saw him win several all-ireland championships.

He currently coaches a local Hurling team to his home town of Gort, Co. Galway. The club name is Beagh. Sylvie was often described as terrier-like and tenacious in his defence of the back line. He was nimble and quick on the ball, very skillful and fearless. Undoubtedly the fans favourite in many polls taken right up to this day.

Bloco Vomit

Bloco Vomit is a Scottish band, from Edinburgh. In 1995 they started playing what they call a "Samba Punk", mixing the traditional rhythms from Brazil with a raw, primarily punk. The name "Samba Punk" is also a pun on the "Samba Rock", a brazillian variation that follows the same principle, that of mixing traditional percussive music with guitars.

Bloco Vomit also mix reggae, r'n'b, rock and garage elements. The percussion arrangements follow the same pattern of a brazillian bateria, with 10-12 drummers plus trumpet, guitar, vocals and sometimes bass.

The band has three cds until now - "Never Mind The Bossa Nova - Here's Bloco Vomit", "Play This Ya Bastard!" and ".vom".

"Never Mind The Bossa Nova - Here's Bloco Vomit" was their debut album, recorder on June 30th and September 13-14th 1997, released in the same year by their own label X-Creature Productions and in Brazil by Trama Records. The album features 12 songs, all of them covers of punk or post-punk bands such as The Clash, Sex Pistols, Jonathon Richman and the Modern Lovers and Siouxsie and the Banshees, mixing Samba, Maracatu, Batucada and other brazillian rhythms with guitars and punk.

In the following year the 2nd cd came out. "Play This Ya Bastard" gave continuity to the band first album and their mixing of samba and percussion. Recorded in at Chamber Studios in Edinburgh. Engineered and mixed by Grant McNamara. Released on their own label X-Creature Productions and in Brazil by Trama Records. This new cd not only had cover of Dead Kennedys, Buddy Holly and Richard Berry, but also featured two Bloco Vomit's songs: Carnival in Olinda and Methadone Maracatu, written while the band was spending Carnival in brazillian city of Olinda.

The 3rd CD, ".vom" was recorded on 9th and 10th December 2000 and January 20th 2001, engineered and mixed by Ben Ivitsky. Consisting of four pieces, two of them were original. One of them, "O Encontro de Ian Heavens com Chico Science No Ceu" was an homage to brazillian singer Chico Science, who died in February 2, 1997 in a car accident. Science work had a huge influency on Bloco Vomit's work. The song was also a tribute to Ian Heavens, co-founder of Bloco Vomit, who died on the 22nd December 2000. The name of the song came from a Chico Science song and its name means "The meeting of Ian Heavens and Chico Science in Heaven". The song is a remake of Methadone Maracatu and featured Claudio "Zambohead" Maracatu guest vocal.

Others song in this record include Van Morrison/Patti Smith song Gloria, The Man Who Sold the World, by Bowie and another original song, No Immunity.

Bengi- Racist Word

The word Bengi is the racist word for cussing Bengali people from bangladesh. It is equivalent to the words "Nigga" and "Honkie". It is mostly used around the East London areas which has a lot of bengali people living there. Bengali people may use it to address other bengali people saying "Wassup my Bengi". But if any other cultured people say it it will be a racist word.

Sexenio

(source: lecture notes supplemental materials on Mexico, the power of patronage parties)

Sexenio:Is one of Mexico’s most important political institutions. It is the term limit on the Mexican Presidency which limits the office holder to one six year term. It is important because it is one of the few limitations on executive power in Mexico which is strong at Local, State, and National levels. Without the Sexenio Mexico would most likely not be considered a democracy since most presidents are elected by one party. Example: PRI rule of Mexico for most of the 20th century.

Aji Dulce Pepper

It looks identical to a Scotch Bonnet Pepper, but is not hot. In Venezuela, it is used as the main flavoring ingredient in empanadas (meat pies). The flavor is very pervasive, kind of like a bell pepper, but totally different; more of a tropical, mango, pungent flavor. Never tasted anything like it.

Cross Timbers

The Cross Timbers is a savanna on the southern Great Plains running from southeastern Kansas, across central Oklahoma, into central Texas. It lies at eastern edge of the great prairies. The Cross Timbers is dominated by post oak and blackjack interspersed with patches of open prairie—both tall and short grass. The thick growth formed an almost impenetrable barrier for early American explorers and travelers. Washington Irving described it as "like struggling through forests of cast iron."

Albert Sadacca

Albert Sadacca was fifteen in 1917, when he first got the idea to make safety Christmas lights for Christmas trees. A tragic fire in New York City involving Christmas tree candles inspired Albert to invent electric Christmas lights. The Sadacca family sold ornamental novelty items including novelty lights. Albert adapted some of the products into safe electric lights for Christmas trees. The first year only one hundred strings of white lights sold. The second year Sadacca used brightly colored bulbs and a multi-million dollar business took-off. Later, a company started by Albert Sadacca (and his two brothers Henri and Leon) called NOMA Electric Company became the largest Christmas lighting company in the world.

Children's Miracle Network

Children's Miracle Network—the alliance of premier hospitals for children—is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children’s hospitals across North America. Each year the 170 Children's Miracle Network hospitals provide the finest medical care, life-saving research and preventative education to help millions of kids overcome diseases and injuries of every kind.

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Children's Miracle Network has grown dramatically since its founding in 1983, from a televised fund raiser in a small studio to one of the world’s leading children’s charities helping 17 million kids each year.

The 170 Children’s Miracle Network hospitals are there 24 hours a day to help kids of every age and background overcome every imaginable disease and injury—from asthma and broken bones to cancer, heart defects, pediatric AIDS, muscular dystrophy and serious injuries. These children’s hospitals are also on the front lines of preventing disease and injury through research, education and outreach programs that keep millions of kids out of the hospital each year.

Thousands of special events and grassroots fund raisers are conducted year-round through a coalition of premier children’s hospitals, media partners and corporate volunteers working together to ensure healthy kids in their communities. In addition to the “Children's Miracle Network Celebration,” an annual televised fund raiser, corporate sponsors sell paper Miracle Balloons, radio stations broadcast Radiothons, and college students hold Dance Marathons—just a few of the programs generating millions of dollars each year to provide the life-saving care and crucial services kids need.

And the need is truly great. This year alone Children's Miracle Network hospitals will provide charity care worth billions, yet these children’s hospitals depend on community support to help fund their vital services.

Through its year-round efforts to help kids, Children's Miracle Network has raised more than $2.5 billion to date, most of which is donated a dollar or two at a time by caring individuals across North America.

SPRITE (IR detector)

The SPRITE Infra Red detector is named after the process of signal integration carried out by Signal PRocessing In The Element. The technique was invented by the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment at Malvern and allows the build up of detected IR signal in a Cadmium Mercury Teluride strip (CMT)by applying a bias voltage across the strip. The detector is used in a scanned Thermal Imager and the bias voltage is adjusted to force electrons produced by the detected energy at one end of the strip, to drift to the far end of the strip in time with the rate of the scanning such that energy from the same response is built up along the full length of the strip. This allows a much simpler way of integrating responses that linking seperate detector cells. This type of detector was used in a series of thermal imagers known as TICM (Thermal Imaging Common Module).

Currently touted as the new "it" girl of the Brooklyn art rock scene, Joan often makes the rounds as a solo act, but can also been found playing with percussionist Ben Perowsky and bassist Rainy Orteca in the trio incarnation of JxAxPxWx.

In late December 2003 Joan decided to stop "playing under the radar" and put on her first full-length performance which became her formal debut. In June of 2004 she released a 5 song ep ..... JOAN AS POLICEWOMAN has finally arrived! And she is set release her full length cd debut in 2006.


HerStory

"I have always been really attracted to music."

Growing up in Norwalk Connecticut, Joan began performing at an early age. She began piano lessons at six, and studied for a few years before her first violin lessons at age eight when she discovered a new focus for her enthusiasm. Joan proved to be a natural and played with school and community orchestras before leaving to study violin performance at Boston University. It was in Boston that she began playing with bands and making an impact on the local music scene as a member of the Dambuilders. During her time with the band, Joan expanded the role of violin in rock music with her ferocity and daring. By using the violin for rhythm parts instead of the more common decorative embellishments, she added a dynamic new dimension to the band’s sound.


In the late nineties Joan began to stretch herself musically, adding guitar and keyboard parts to the Dambuilders recordings as well as co-writing several song and singing. Examples of these new exercises can be heard on the Dambuiders’ Against the Stars ; for both ‘Luster’ and ‘Itch It’, Joan wrote the lyrics and handles the lead vocals.


A short time after Against the Stars was released the Dambuilders disbanded and Joan began playing with old friends Dave Shouse and Michael Tighe in Those Bastards Soul. Joan continued to explore various moods and sounds during Those Bastard Souls' live shows and on their release Debt & Departure and when TBS went their separate ways in 1999, Joan and Tighe created a new group, Black Beetle.


Based in New York City, the group was, for Joan, an attempt to grow as an instrumentalist and find her voice as a singer. Forming the band also helped Joan, Tighe and drummer Parker Kindred deal with the sudden death of their friend, lover and band mate, Jeff Buckley. The group enjoyed good reviews and played and handful of choice opening gigs for the likes of Morrissey and Patti Smith, but ultimately their promise wasn’t enough to sustain them and the Black Beetle project dissolved as soon as their grief dissipated. They disbanded in the fall of 2002 after recording one album.


Fortunately, the end of Black Beetle brought the beginning of Joan’s work as a solo artist and the creation of JOANASPOLICEWOMAN. The five song ep was written by Joan and produced by Bryce Goggin, who has worked with Spacehog and the Lemonheads, among others. The two met while Goggin was mixing Those Bastard Souls' second release, Debt and Departure. The JxAxPxWx ep also features Ben Perwosky and Rainey Orteca as well as former Dambuilders' frontman, Dave Derby. JxAxPxWx has a song for every mood and has received favorable reviews. It's also a great introduction to Joan's new musical direction. Look for her second, full-length release, Real Life sometime in 2006.

SPRITE (IR detector)

The SPRITE Infra Red detector is named after the process of signal integration carried out by Signal PRocessing In The Element. The technique was invented by the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment at Malvern and allows the build up of detected IR signal in a Cadmium Mercury Teluride strip (CMT)by applying a bias voltage across the strip. The detector is used in a scanned Thermal Imager and the bias voltage is adjusted to force electrons produced by the detected energy at one end of the strip, to drift to the far end of the strip in time with the rate of the scanning such that energy from the same response is built up along the full length of the strip. This allows a much simpler way of integrating responses that linking seperate detector cells. This type of detector was used in a series of thermal imagers known as TICM (Thermal Imaging Common Module).

Santa Sabina

Santa Sabina is a mexican rock group originary from Guadalajara, Jalisco. The group was originally formed in 1989 by Rita Guerrero (voice), Alfonso "Poncho" Figueroa (bass), Pablo Valero (guitar) and Jacobo Leiberman (keyboards). The name of the group honors the memory of Maria Sabina, the famous mazateca wisewoman who lived in the southern mexican state of Oaxaca.

Santa Sabina distinguishes themselves from other mexican rock groups by their unusual musical proposal, often labeled as gothic rock due to the gloomy imagery found in several of their lyrics, and due to the goth-looking stage presence of some of it's members (specially Rita Guerrero's, the band lead singer ). Santa Sabina's music, however, it's perhaps best described as variant of progressive rock which borrorws heavily from jazz and goth rock. Another distintive feature of this group's music is the remarkable voice of it's lead singer, always able to show her ample vocal range in each song, along with a theatrical savvy that allows her to make good use of her forementionated singing prowess.

Biography

At the end of the 1980's, Rita Guerrero leaves her hometown of Guadalajara to attend the UNAM university in Mexico City, interested in pursuing a career in theater. There, she meets Poncho Figueroa, Pablo Valero and Jacobo Leiberman, who at that time were members of a jazz group called "the Psicotópicos". "The Psicotrópicos" agreed to musicalize a play for Rita's theatre class, based on Franz Kafka's "Amérika". As they worked together, they came to know and befriend each other, and they realized they had a strong artistic affinity. After the later dissolution of the "Psicotrópicos", they decided to form a rock band that reflected their artistic vision, which often lacked a propper way of being harnessed. Santa Sabina rised as answer to that necessity, writing their own page in rock en español history completely by themselves, without any help from mexican radio or television broadcasting companies whatsoever. Although the group's lineup has changed with the years (as in the case of Pablo Valero and Jacobo Leiberman), the sound of the group, far from growning inferior, evolves and transfigures in something faithful to its previous sound yet more solid.

Their first albums, Santa Sabina (1992), Símbolos (1994) and Babel (1996) were released through disappeared mexican record label Culebra Records, a local branch of BGM Ariola. Their following albums, Mar adentro en la sangre (2001) and Espiral (2003), were independent productions. In 1997, they also recorded an album of their "unplugged" performance for MTV Latinamerica, simply called "Santa Sabina Unplugged".

Discography

Santa Sabina sets the basics of what will be refered to as the Santa Sabina's sound. In this album we can see testimony of the circumstances that would lead to the creation of the group, because songs as "Partido en tres" (Split in three) or "Chicles" (Bubble gums) dates from those theater performances where the group first came to work together. In this production, songs like "A la orilla del sol" (To the edge of the sun), "No me alcanza el tiempo" (I'm running out of time), "Yo te ando buscando" (I'm looking for you) and the group's emblematic theme, "Azul casi morado" (Near purple blue).

Símbolos is an album where the sound of the group and its lyrical quality are seen more polished, and where they enjoy a superior production values. There are many remarkable songs in this album, being able to mention "Nos queremos morir" (We all want to die), "Ajusco Nevado" (Snow-covered Ajusco), "Alas Negras" (Black wings), "Una canción para Louis (Vampiro) ("A theme for Louis [Vampire]"), a must in most live performances, as well as "Estando ahí no estoy" (Being here I am not), a single whose video was one of the few regulary aired videos of the group.

Babel, a conceptual album that makes use of many iconographic elements taken from the Bible, shows a notorious evolution of Santa Sabina's music. This time, the group's lineup changes and this allows for that some of their musical influences to shine through in spite of others, resulting in a sound that, although definitively faithful to Santa Sabina, also is more leaned towards jazzy and progressive styles. "El Ángel" ("The angel"), "La Garra" ("The claw") and "Los peces del viento" ("The fish of the wind") are some songs specially worth mentioning in this album.

Mar adentro en la sangre, their first independent production, is an album that follows further into the experimental road of "Babel", as it delves more deeply in the group's creative unconcious and draws forth a sound that could be called the distilled essence of Santa Sabina, the very musical uniqueness that drew them together in the first place. This album's most notable tracks are "Soledad" ("Loneliness"), "Ojalá fuera tu voz" ("I wish it were your voice") and "Duerme amor" ("Sleep thight love").

Espiral it's landmark in the of the group's career, as it shows an artistic maturity and a consolidation of their musical proposal. It is in this album that Santa Sabina chooses to change it's instrumental lineup that characterized them, replacing the keyboards by sax, violin and bugle. Their music concept, nevertheless, stays firmly rooted. Themes like "Noche" ("Night"), "En Llamas" ("In flames") or "Plegaria" ("Prayer") are highmarks in this album.

You seem to have done a pretty good job on this article, but I'm not sure if it's notable enough. There may be some neutrality issues, but the real problem is that we don't usually have articles on things like cameras unless they're significant--just like we don't have articles for all car models, but we do for some well-known ones like the Trabi or the Model-T. If this camera model has that kind of importance, then it should be established by the article. I'm not a professional photographer, but the article doesn't establish the kind of notability that is required for wiki articles. --TexasDex 07:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Serial Killer Teleportation Techinque

Uses in movies

This is used in the Friday the 13th Series (excluding the original), the Halloween Series (mostly in the Curse of Mike Myers), and in the Nightmare on Elm Street Series. It usual occurs when the victim looks away to grab an item (most often a weapon)and the camera pans toward that and then cuts toward the murderer. The most prime example of this is in Halloween 6: The Curse of Mike Myers, when Dr. Loomis encounters Michael Myers at a massacred gas station and tries to talk him into stopping. Loomis looks away to pull out his gun and looks back to where Michael was standing. This give Michael ample time to get an 18-wheeler and nearly run over the poor doctor.

Ways to Avoid This Problem

Note: These are never practiced by victims in any of the said slasher films, mainly because they are teenage idiots or people who are not physically fit (or both).

1. NEVER, and I mean NEVER, take your eyes off the pyschopath. Know where your equipment is and be able to grab it without even needing to look for it.

2. Stay near densely populated areas. Most victims run into secluded areas such as cabins and rooms with one or no windows. This is about as much of a death sign as handing Jason Voorhees a machete.

3. Being a con man does not help (not counting Freddy's impersonation of Mrs. Voorhees in Freddy Versus Jason). A prime example of this is the Professor's attempt to perserve his life in Jason X when Jason gets his machete back.

Verdants

Note: Wiki Editor, I'm the author of this section (from my free ebook Alien Mind - a Primer).

Phillip Krapf worked as Metro Editor for the Los Angeles Times, until retiring in the mid-1990's. According to Krapf, less than two years later in 1997 he was taken up for a three day visit on a large, disk-shaped craft owned by "the Verdants"--thin, slightly bulge-eyed aliens with large heads; roughly 5' 6" inches tall. Although skeptics tend to dismiss the existence of aliens, Krapf is but one of a growing number of former White House defense officials, intelligence officials and others (including former astronauts) who have testified about direct encounters with UFO's and aliens.

Phillip Krapf says the Verdants’ skin is either white or tan, with greenish tints, and that they have slightly pointed ear tips. An earnest, well-regarded journalist who speaks with no outward sign of dishonesty, Krapf suggests that he may have been selected for the encounter because he's a reputable professional who had previously been skeptical about aliens and UFO's. Krapf won a Pulitzer Prize as editor of what was then one of the best newspapers in the country. He did fact checking and was responsible for steering reporters and removing inaccuracies in their stories. Given his conservative, mainstream stature, he may be the most well-regarded witness of his sort, to date.

In two recent books Krapf writes that in fully conscious encounters with the Verdants, a sexually-reproducing population of 500 trillion individuals, the Verdants told Krapf that Verdants live for thousands of years and that Verdants currently inhabit 246,000 different planets. Krapf was told that the Verdants are from a galaxy that is 14 million light years away. His writing is remarkably detailed, and, in overall terms, is consistent with reports by hundreds of persons who claim to have encountered gray aliens. (See the writings of Dr. John Mack, Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs for further details.)

If true, Krapf's story would be the second full-length, minute-by-minute account about an open alien attempt at diplomatic interaction with fully-conscious humans. The first was Alec Newald's book, Coevolution, about a ten-day journey to the planet of a competing alien group called the Elders. *There have been other books about interactions that some readers might consider diplomatic, yet they were neither as prolonged and explicit, nor as recent as Krapf’s and Newald’s books, in which aliens appear to have gone out of their way to accommodate the writers by providing psychotronically effected, near-total recall. Apparently, this was done in order to facilitate publication of both stories. Given the frequency of recent contacts and sightings, paralleled by a cryptic dribble of human official disclosures, these three books stand out in a fast-developing, new context. Krapf writes that he was taken for a second visit with the Verdants three years later in 2000.

Krapf reports that, so far, Verdants have persuaded 17,000 other non-Verdant planets to join under their umbrella, adding yet another 150 trillion aliens to their empire (which touts itself as a collective). Each of the additional 17,000 planets is reportedly inhabited by a different alien species. Given that a large galaxy like our own contains roughly 150 billion stars, there should be many habitable planets in a typical galaxy. So, we shouldn't conclude that Verdant numbers mean that they control a number of other large galaxies. A single large spiral galaxy could contain most of the Verdant alignment.

Krapf says his Verdant contacts informed him that they were the only colonizers they knew of in the universe. If true, this would mean they’re probably more manipulative than non-colonizing aliens. Krapf says Verdants call their umbrella the Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets, or the IFSP. If Krapf is correct, we live within reach of a galaxy (14 million light years away) inhabited by colonizing Verdants who speak in terms of a federated structure, which implies a central, over-riding authority. Verdant incursions here, some of which reportedly involve gray alien abductions of humans, may have accelerated our awareness of off-world dynamics. Krapf writes that in a series of meetings on a 1 1/2 mile diameter, disk-shaped Verdant ship with many windows and entry ports, Verdants admitted that they have orchestrated years of human abductions for scientific and breeding purposes prior to attempting a diplomatic opening to humankind. "Electrogravity," which is made through carefully aimed destructive interference of light waves (and magnetism), was apparently used to slow certain brain processes and render abductees semi-conscious so that they wouldn’t remember such events.

Krapf says that Verdants have contacted roughly 800 human "ambassadors," persons chosen by the Verdants, not by humans, to help initiate relations with the Verdant contingent aboard ship. Krapf further says that while onboard he saw at least one US citizen of national stature being led on a tour of the disk. While in the disk, Krapf learned that a Times Mirror executive (LA Times) was tentatively part of the program. Krapf later spoke with the man, who fearfully admitted involvement. Krapf saw a list plus photos of hundreds of other human contacts for the Verdant diplomatic initiative. For yet-unspecified reasons, the projected Verdant opening was delayed several years past its planned date. Krapf says the Verdants he met seemed reticent yet certain that Verdants would succeed in setting the agenda here, which seems ironic because Verdants proposed that they be allotted 600 square miles of empty land in the US Southwest to build a center for interaction with humans.

As Phillip Krapf notes in his first book, in the past, Verdants have assigned IFSP parties to monitor some reluctant conscript planets (considered hostile) in order “to maintain the (IFSP) program of sabotage in the event future generations might once again try” to go into space. Verdants told Krapf they were referring to warlike populations that Verdants had encountered, but scholars who study exopolitics (the politics of other worlds) question whether the same attitude pertains to all who reject a Verdant incursion. Verdants reportedly told Krapf that, in some past cases, Verdant sabotage has led to manipulated warfare on some planets, the destruction of others. One Verdant told Krapf Verdants infiltrated some 10,000 of their operatives onto one planet, allowing them to become “heads of military units, key scientists, government leaders, and chief executives of industrial complexes, including armament manufacturers. Through sabotage, subterfuge, misdirection, persuasion over great masses of the host populations, and careful manipulation of government policy,” Verdants reportedly achieved their ends on the given planet. (The Challenge of Contact, p. 76-77)

Men of Beleriand

Template:Middle-earth portal Men of Beleriand are the few men, living in the First Age of Middle Earth, that impact the age greatly, as created by J. R. R. Tolkien. The list of important men in the first age are interconnected themselves, between the houses of men, and with the elves. These men played a crucial role in causing the end of the First Age.

House of Beor ---

Barahir: Befriended Finrod after saving his life. This friendship was the saving grace of his son, Beren.

Beren: Redeemer of a Silmaril (For the rite to wed Luthien), He journeyed with Luthien (Thingol and Melian's Daughter) and Finrod Felagund, Angband, with the help of Huan, Hound to the Valar. Finrod Felagund, and Huan died in this expedition.

Dior (of Elvish/Maiarian Decent): Dior, the son of Beren and Luthien, became the final King of the Sindar, ruling in Doriath. His daughter was Elwing, wife to Earendil.

House of Haleth ---

Galdor: Father of Hurin, and Huor. His importance is that he is their father.

Hurin: Father to Turin Turambar, Elf friend to Turgon, King of Gondolin. He fought alongside Turgon and Huor during Nirneath Andoriead (Unnummbered Tears, the fourth battle of Beleriand) and was captured by Morgoth shortly after. After his release, protecting the secret of Gondolin's location (The last Noldorian Kingdom to fall to Morgoth).

Turin: Bane to Father of Dragons, Glaurung. Suffering a cursed life, his major achievements were his defence of Brethil, and the slaying of Glaurung, the Father of Dragons. Wielding the Black Sword, Gurthang (See Anglachel) he killed himself after learning of his sister's (and lover's) fate.

Huor: Father to Tuor, Elf friend to Turgon, he fought and died in the Nirneath, protecting Turgon.

Tuor: The hope of Gondolin, he journeyed from the Landing spot of the Noldor in Vinyamar, to the West. With the gear of Turgon, he and an elf, Voronwe, travelled far to the Kingdom of Gondolin, where Tuor was admitted. Tuor wed the daughter of Turgon, Idril, and Earendil was born. Tuor participated in the long siege of Gondolin, by the Captain of the Balrogs, Gothmog (Brought upon by the treachery of Maeglin, Turgon's nephew). Although both Gothmog ("kamekazied" by the elf Ecthelion of the Fountain) and Maeglin (felled by Tuor) died, the siege on Gondolin was successful. Tuor led the escape of Gondolin, and helped make it successful.

Earendil, Half Elven: During the final battles of Beleriand, after the Elven race, and men were pushed to the lands of Cirdan (Lord of the Teleri on Beleriand), he set sail West to Valinor for reinforcements against the dark lord. He managed to reach Valinor, wherein the Valar sent forces to destroy Beleriand. He is the reason that Morgoth was captured a second time. With Elwing, they have two sons: Elrond, and Elros.

New College, The University of Alabama

The New College Program at the University of Alabama was founded in 1970 in order to allow undergraduate students more flexibility in choosing their curriculum. The program allows students to create a "depth study" in any field the student wishes(with approval). The student then carries out his/her program by taking normal university courses combined with numerous independent studies designed to fulfill the student's goals for the degree the student is pursuing. Much of the learning in New College is out of class, and student studies must be approved for students to recieve credit. The program is only for students completing a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Sciences degree. The objective of New College is to inspire interdisciplinary learning in its undergraduates, and to prepare them to be well-suited for a proffessional career. Other goals of New College include better problem-solving ability among its students, and more efficient workers once the students have entered the work force.

Malaysian Bloggers Directory

In recent years, due to the wide spread of information technology in the major cities in Malaysia and the strict control posed by the government of Malaysia over the so-called mainstream media, many Malaysians have started to utilize Weblogs as their personal platforms to express their concerns and critics over various politic, social, economic and education affairs happened in Malaysia.

However, the information technology literate communities in Malaysian are still lacking a unified effort in compiling a list of Malaysian Bloggers Directory as a quick reference for the communities to surf for different kinds of thinkings and opinions in the borderless World Wide Web.

There should be an effort to compile a growing list of well-organized and categorized Malaysian bloggers directory.

lexical relations

Dear sir/madam,

New Year Tree

New Year Tree is a Russian version of Christmas Tree. The tree itself and the decoration are the same (and of the same big variety).

The difference is the event it's dedicated to - New Year celebration.

After the Russian Revolution, Bolsheviks started to wage a campaign against religion and at the end banned religious holidays, including Christmas. Russian New Year celebration tradition brought up to replace Christmas and it is following it with its symbols: New Year Tree replaces Christmas Tree and Ded Moroz replaces Saint Nicolaus.

Religion is no longer banned in post-Soviet countries, however people are still calling the tree as New Year Tree, rather then Christmas Tree.

Georgy Demidov

Georgy Demidov (Георгий Георгиевич Демидов) was born in 1908 in a working class family in St. Petersburg, Russia. At an early age he showed technical and engineering gifts and was thought to be a future physicist. In 1938, he was arrested in Kharkov, where he was working, after being summonsed for an internal passport check. It was a check that was to last eighteen years. His interrogator threatened to arrest Demidov's wife, and orphan his five-month old daughter. Demidov confessed and was sentenced as a Trotskyite, a member of a terrorist Trotskyite organization, but did not accuse anyone else, and was sent to corrective labor camps.

For fourteen years he served in the Kolyma region of Siberia, ten in the most brutal of conditions. In 1946, he received a second sentence, after which he sent a telegraph to his wife that was in the form of an official telegraph informing her of his death. In the main camp hospital, Demidov became acquainted and then a friend to a hospital assistant, the future writer Varlam Shalamov.

He wrote several stories on labor camp themes, two of which were published in "Novy Mir" (1997, Volume 5, pp. 116-145) -- “Люди гибнут за металл” 'People die for metal' and “Художник Бацилла и его шедевр” 'The artist Baccilla and his wonders.' Unlike other writers of the camps, Demidov remains comparatively unknown and untranslated.

He died in 1987

Trenton Six Case

Once as notorious as the Scottsboro Boys Case from Alabama, the Trenton Six Case, arose in 1948 in Mercer County, New Jersey, when six black defendents were convicted by an all-white jury of the murder of an elderly white shopkeeper.

In the process of appeal, the Communist Party took on the legal defense of half the defendants, making the case into an international cause celebre for propaganda purposes. The NAACP defended the other half, seeking to get their convictions overturned. Among the NAACP attorneys was Thurgood Marshall, later appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, Clifford Roscoe Moore, Sr., later appointed U.S. Commissioner for Trenton, New Jersey, the first Black American appointed to such a position since post-Civil War Reconstruction Era, and Raymond Pace Alexander, later to become a judge in Pennsylvania.

In the course of the appeal, trumped up evidence was revealed and the medical eximiner in Trenton was found guilty of perjury.

The international attention focused on the case included many notables, from W.E.B. Dubois to Pete Singer -- even Albert Einstein, who lived close by in Princeton, New Jersey. Commentary and protests were issued from many nations.

    • Thank you. Just FYI, reason 1 is explained down in the article (I realize you don't have time to read everything): the etymology is the African word "kwanza" (6 letters), artificially extended to 7 letters in order to mirror 7 traditional principles, and create a unique spelling. This led to both "kwanzaa" (regular) and "kwaanza" (odd).

angelina eberly

Angelina Eberly was an innkeeper in Austin, Texas in 1842. Sam Houston had ordered the Texas Rangers to move the Republic of Texas' official papers from Austin to Houston, which he then intended to declare the capital of Texas. Eberly heard what was going on and ran out to an area near 6th Street and Congress Avenue and fired off a cannon. She missed the Texas Rangers who kept going with Texas' archives, but blew a hole in the General Land Office Building. Others were thereby alerted by the commotion and a posse soon recovered the documents and returned them to Austin. This incident is known as the Archives War. A statue of Angelina Eberly, created by Pat Oliphant, stands near the place where Eberly helped preserve Austin as Texas' capital city. More information on Ms. Eberly and other topics of Texas history is available via The Handbook of Texas online version.

Peter de Preaux

Peter de Preaux (d.1212) was a Norman knight in the service of the household of the Angevin Kings, Richard and John.

He was a younger son of Osbert de Preaux, a minor baron of the Roumouis district of Normandy. The family held lordship of Preaux and lands near Darnetal and Rouen. In addition, the Preaux's also held land in England in four counties. John, Peter's elder brother, would succeed their father sometime prior to 1189.

The four Preaux brothers, John, Peter, William, and Engleraw, would all serve in the household (mesnie) of their overlords, the dukes of Normandy. Peter and William went on the Third Crusade with Richard of England. William, at one point, was captured by the Saracens protecting the king. King Richard's last action during the crusade was to ransom William.

Peter was the royal standard-bearer during the expedition, a position that he was granted by King Richard over the hereditary standard-bearer of England, Robert Trussebut.

Peter was known to have fought in Sicily, Cyprus, Acre, Arsuf, Jaffa and throught several small skirmishes. He was slightly reprimanded by Andre de Chauvigny, the King's cousin, for negligence on a mission to obtain safe conducts for the army from the Saracens.

Peter would later fight against the King of France in defense of ducal Normandy. In 1202, when Philip of France would succeed in taking much of the eastern hinterlands of the duchy, Peter would remain loyal to John of England, even when his elder brother would not.

King John would make Peter the bailiff of the Channel Islands, and by 1203, grant Peter total lordship of the islands. During the last defense of Normandy prior to total French subjigation in 1204, King John had left the military defense of the capital, Rouen, in the charge of Peter.

Peter had a formidable host gathered at Rouen, including; Richard de Villequier, Richard de Beauchamps, Robert d'Esneval, Thomas de Pavilly, Henri d'Estouteville, and Peter de Hotot. In addition, many of the knights and barons of Robert, count of Alencon, who didn't follow their lord into treason were also at Rouen.

Even still, Rouen was surrounded, and with no outside help forthcoming, surrendered by spring of 1204. Peter departed Normandy for England. As a reward for his service, King John bestowed him with the marriage of Mary daughter of William de Redvers, Earl of Devon and the Isle of Wight.

Peter de Preaux died sometime prior to 1212.

The Pink Kit Method for birthing better

The concept which has become The Pink Kit Method for birthing better {http://www.birthingbetter.com} began in the 1970's in the United States in response to the rapid changes occurring in childbirth. Up to the late 1960's early 1970's women laboured alone in hospital. There was a grassroots upswell which changed childbirth practices. These changes included fathers becoming childbirth coaches, rooming in for babies, not having your pubic hair shaved, no mandatory enema, the ability to get off the bed and move around, delayed cutting of the cord and birthing in the same room you laboured.

Expectant parents attended Lamaze classes in order to learn breathing and relaxation skills. Although these techniques helped many families a more comprehensive system needed to be developed. The Pink Kit Method developed to meet the diverse needs of expectant parents to develop good labour management and coaching skills.

Unfortunately by the 1980s the emphasis on childbirth shifted away from the importance of expectant parents having good birthing and coaching skills to other aspects: home birth options, midwifery care and midwifery training. New concepts developed such as: natural birth, 'instinctive' or 'intuitive' childbirth. Since the 1980s there has been a deskilling of expectant parents, focusing inside on 'choice' and 'information'.

At the simpliest childbirth is an exercise in plumbing. An object (baby) must come out of the container (woman's body). In order to do that the object must pass through a tube (the pelvis), open a diaphragm (the cervix) and open an aperture (the vagina).

The woman's role as the container is to prepare her body so that the painful sensations of labour contractions do not cause her to tense up .... effectively making the efforts of the baby more difficult.

The Pink Kit Method for birthing better is a universal approach to childbirth. Although every woman is different and each birth is unique, childbirth is a series of contractions which get closer together, last longer and get more intense as labour progresses. The Pink Kit Method focuses exclusively on the necessary, essential and important skills all expectant parents need in order to cope with the dynamic experience of labour and giving birth.

Unlike other childbirth education programmes which are taught by trained childbirth teachers such as Lamaze, Bradley, NCT, Parent Centre and NCEA, Common Knowledge Trust (http://www.commonknowledgetrust.com) which produces The Pink Kit Method has designed the first home study course best used in the privacy of one's home from 22 weeks of pregnancy.

The Pink Kit Method is composed of four cornerstones: the essential preparations for your birthing body (The Pink Kit, preparing the birth canal (The Pink Kit audio), Managing Skills and New Focus: Breath, Language and Touch.

Although there is a great deal of emphasis on natural childbirth, every expectant parent wants, deserves and is entitled to a positive birth experience. The Pink Kit Method originated from couples whose experience of birth was varied ... from unassisted home births to planned caesareans and is has been used by thousands of couples world wide. (Pregnancy & Birth July/August 2004...Australia's No. 1 Pregnancy Magazine).

At the present time there are more medically assisted births than ever before. Childbirth trends for the past 30 years have focused more on many important aspects of giving birth: choice, different types of pain relief, breast feeding, the post natal period and have encouraged women to 'trust' birth.

The Pink Kit Method for birthing better approaches childbirth in the same manner as other naturally occurring physiological human processes: with skills. If we are hungry, we learn to cook. When we need to void and defacate, we learn where the appropriate place to do that is. The Pink Kit Method using our human mind to bring conscious, positive skills to childbirth for both the woman giving birth and the person who will coach her.

Practice based evidence by two independent midwives in New Zealand seem to indicate that expectant parents who have taught themselves The Pink Kit Method self reduce their need for pain relief. They also are able to self-reduce their need for medically assisted births. (www.birthingbetter.com/statistics) (Little Treasures Issue 108 April/May 2005)

skirmish line

A skirmish line is a miltary formation, usually used in a lesser fight in a larger battle. Most usually it comprises infantry, dismounted cavalry, or tanks and fighting vehicles. Skirmish lines may be offensive or defensive, but are rarely fixed or static. The skirmish line moves, except for brief pauses. It has no defined size. That depends on an army's nationality, organization, doctrine, weather, terrain, and situation. But the skirmish line is normally, relatively small -- due to reasons of control.

The skirmish line is a horizontal formation, extending from left to right. Its advantage is that all its soldiers may bring maximum fire power on an enemy across a broad front. Its disadvantage is that the formation is difficult to control when it extends hundreds of meters -- especially on broken terrain or during periods of limited visibility and adverse weather. The column formation (one soldier behind the other) is easier to control during movement, but only the few, foremost soldiers can engage the enemy.

Consequently, employing this formation (going from a column to a line/skirmish line formation) ideally should wait until contact with the enemy is imminent.

Thanks. I suggest adding the material (obviously with sources) to the existing Skirmisher article. I've created Skirmish line as a redirect pointing to it. Tearlach 04:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"I'm Everything"

This is a theme song from Dale Oliver in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. There are three reported versions of it: the original version, a slowed down version (currently being used by Apolo) and an instrumental version. It has been used by virtually EVERY Hispanic wrestler to ever wrestle in TNA. It was first used by Marcus Bagwell (who, oddly enough, isn't Hispanic). It has also been used by Konnan, Mexico's Most Wanted, the Spanish Announce Team, and Team Mexico. It is widely considered to be one of Dale Oliver's best theme songs for TNA Wrestling, but is also considered to be a rip-off of Carlos Santana's song entitled "Smooth". The full version, which is extremely difficult to find, is extremely lengthy for Dale Oliver as it's thought to be around the four minute mark. Most of Oliver's songs aren't much more than a minute, except for the ones on NWA: TNA The Music, Volumes 1 and 2. The shortest song that Oliver has composed was the late Chris Candido's TNA theme which was said to be a rip-off of one of Oliver's own songs called "Born And Raised" (yet another rip-off, this time of Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA", meaning that Candido's theme was a rip-off of a rip-off.) and was only 39 seconds long. Another one of Oliver's shortest song is Roderick Strong's current theme which can be found at TNAWRESTLING.com and is only 42 seconds long. The current version (which is cut short at 1:21) can be found at TNAWRESTLING.com. The original version (which is also cut short at 1:21) can be found at www.tnarevolution.com. Please do this article justice because this is a great song and if you know a place where it can be downloaded (not KAZAA or anything like that) it would be great.

Copparo

Copparo is a small town of Emilia Romagna, Italy,in the Province of Ferrara, located 50 kilometers northeast of the regional capital of Bologna and 17 kilometers east of the provincial capital of Ferrara, Copparo sits in the fertile Po River Delta (10 kilometers south of the river and 35 kilometers from the Adriatic coast).

The origins of Copparo date back to the early Middle Ages and are confirmed both by a formation prior to the year 1000 and by its belonging to the Church of Ferrara and Ravenna (955) under the name "Massa in Copario".

From many historical documents it appears that Copparo was a rather large agricultural center within the territory of Ferrara. The 1431 census mentions it as the largest area sown with barley and wheat. Copparo was likewise mentioned in the Statuta Ferrariae dated 1287 under the name of "Coparius" (recalling the responsibility the citizens of Copparo had in digging the"de preta" channel). After the year 1251, the area fell under the title of the Dukes of Ferrara, the Estensi family. They used the area primarily for recreational purposes, developing one of their principle game preserves and hunting lodges, a turreted castle. It was destroyed during the war against Venice and rebuilt in 1540. It then became one of the most famous Estense Delights. Of the original structure and its five towers only a solitary one remains today, on the site of the current city hall.

The most important factory in the area is Berco Spa, a manufacturer of considerable size specialised in the production of tracked vehicle components,equipment for overhauling the undercarriages of earth moving machinery and manufacture of machine tools for the reconditioning of internal combustion engines. The Copparo plant,the headquarter, stands on a site of about five hundred thousand square meters and has about 2200 employees.

AIDS is another big problem, because 1% of population (aprox.) is possitive. [Gangs] (maras) are a recent problem, but big one, because of the increase of violence in the country. The gangs are the product of the migration to USA and the social problems in Honduras.

Verucci the Merchant of Death

Verucci is a character in the Soul Edge series of games (Soul Calibur, Soul Calibur II, Soul Calibur III). He is not a fighter in the game, in fact, he is never visually seen in any of the games. However, he is directly in involved in the storylines of Voldo and Yoshimitsu, and hinted at in other character storylines (mostly in places that characters visited while ignorant to the importance of that place).

Storylines that Verucci influences

Verucci made a living as a Merchant of Death, which can be compared to being an assassin, but on a grander scale. Verucci made a large profit off of his business, which he stored in a famed castle featuring a feared guardian, which was Voldo. Eventually Verucci found a strange shard, which glowed with a dark power (the power of Soul Edge) he found intruguing. It quickly became his most prized possession. Voldo obsessively protects this shard and, following his interpretation of his master's final orders, seeks out other items that eminate with this strange energy. To this end, Voldo stole a katana tainted with a dark energy from a camp one night. This katana belonged to Yoshimitsu, who was going to purify it of this energy. However, Voldo soon found that this katana was not the whole source of the dark energy, and continued his quest. Meanwhile Yoshimitsu snunk into Verucci's castle and, finding his katana and the shards of Soul Edge, reclaimed his sword and stole the Soul Edge shards, determined to destroy the dark power. Voldo soon found out and, obeying his master without any doubt, has been hunting Yoshimitsu ever since.

American Monomyth

The American Monomyth

First proposed in 1977 in their book by the same title by Robert Jewett and John Shelton Lawrence, the American Monomyth is a reiteration of the classical monomyth as proposed by Joseph Campbell. Campbell's monomyth described the journey of the hero as one of searching and cultural redemption within a societies moral universe. Jewett and Lawrence define the American version as the journey of an American hero in which normal democratic institutions fail to protect the community and a non-democratic and extra-legal hero saves the community prior to fading into obscurity.

In their 2002 book The Myth of the American Superhero (with Lawrence as first author) and their 2003 book Captain America And The Crusade Against Evil: The Dilemma Of Zealous Nationalism (with Jewett as first author), the authors extend the thesis by using examples from both American popular culture and the American religious tradition, respectively.

Most significantly, the American Monomyth posits a level of cultural belief in American society that helps to explain the desire in American government to "save" the world. This thesis explains in detail why America went to war throughout its history, especially after the events of September 11, 2001.

MAELSTRAUM

Between Lofotodden, Mosken and Værøy, we find the maelstrom of Moskstraumen, a 4-5 km wide area of the sea, which is known to be one of the strongest ‘maelstroms’ or ‘whirlpools’ in the world. This sea is veracious, but also bountiful for fish. It was first described more that 2000 years ago by the Greek historian Pytheas, and later, it was marked on many nautical maps with warnings and dramatic descriptions. None of the other features of the Lofoten have been described with such imagination – and exaggeration – in so many languages.

Moskstraumen and the surrounding sea between the edge of Lofotodden and Mosken is between 40-60 metres deep and substantially shallower than the sea further out in the Vestfjorden. The tides fill up the Vestfjorden twice every 24 hours and the difference between flood and ebb tides can reach 4 metres. The current changes its direction between flood and ebb tides, and the strength of the current varies according to the phases of the moon and the direction of the wind.

The Swedish bishop Olaus Magnus published his Carta Marina in 1539, and published an account of the history of the Nordic People in Rome in 1555, both in which the Moskstraumen is mentioned. The current is described as a whirlwind, which runs to and fro on the sea and swallows large ships and throws them up again! He tells the story of this whirlpool with text and illustrations, and called it 'Charybdis' (see the illustration to the right). The magistrate of the area wrote in 1591 that '…when the current is at its strongest you can see the sky and the sun and the waves because they go as high as mountains…'

These writers write about a sea that yells and thunders like herds of buffaloes over the prairie, ships that are being pulled under and smashed to pieces against the bottom of the sea! Huge whales scream when they have to give in to the whirls of the maelstrom, and the houses shake due to the powerful movements!

Many an author and artist have let themselves be inspired of the Moskstraumen, of them Petter Dass, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Christian Krogh, Edgar Allan Poe and Jules Verne. The latter became so fascinated by the powers of the maelstrom that he let Captain Nemo and his submarine Nautilus end their journey and disappear in the maelstrom in 'Forty leagues under the sea'. Also the American author Edgar Allan Poe wrote his description of Moskstraumen after having been to Lofoten: '…half screams, half yells and so powerful that not even the Niagara Falls can lift its voice so high up to the sky…'

The people of the outermost villages Hell and Refsvika were the closest neighbour to the maelstrom, and they were annoyed by these exaggerations. They felt a strong respect for the powers of the sea, and adapted their lives, work and journeys after it. But still, the maelstrom took many a victim.

The current was mighty and powerful in its wildness. It was exciting to watch from the shore, and people used to climb the mountains to get a better view of it. Some of them say today that 'Moskstraumen was our TV!'

The village of Helle is a deserted fishing village at the edge of Lofotodden with the maelstrom as its closest neighbour. People have lived here for several hundred years with a population of 60 people at most. They lived off fishing, bird catching, and had a few farms and cattle. They had a school, a public house and a sewing-club. Their relationships with the people of Værøy and Refsvika were close and of great importance. Shipwrecks and losses of human lives were common events, and many a dramatic story took place outside people's doors. The village was abandoned in 1950

History of the name Rimensberger

The history of the surname family name Rimensberger The history of the distinguished surname Rimensberger is traceable since the 10th Century to the Alemanic region of Westphalia and Thuringia. The name is closely associated with early Christian movements in these regions. Over time the spelling and pronunciation of the name started to reflect the different cultural influences. The variations of the name include Riemensberger, Ringenberg, Rhingenberg, Ringenburg, Remsberger, and Riemensperger to mention a few. During the 13th Century and up to the early 1600 the name can be linked to various family branches spread across Westphalia, Silesian, Bavaria and Swabia occupying various estates and serving at various Royal Courts. During the Thirty Years War a branch strongly linked to the Roman Catholic Church fled to parts of Switzerland seeking protection under the Abbey of St. Gallen and in the Appenzell region. Remains of a castle named Rimensberg and also small hamlets and hills with that name link the Northeast region of Switzerland with the family. Today, there are regional villages like Lüthisburg and Kirchberg with a large constituency of Rimensbergers. Another section settled in the Berne, Argovia and central Switzerland.

During the whole period of Europe's industrialisation, many members of the Rimensberger family emigrated to the United States and Canada as well as to South America a further a field. In modern times the name is linked with a wide field of distinguished activities in politics, media, art and science, where members of the Rimensberger family are frequently recognised for their achievements.

Air attack on Convoy UGS-40

I was a member of the US Navy Armed Guard crew on the SS John Dickinson, one of the ships in Convoy UGS-40. On 11 May 1944 we attacked by 62 JU-88 torpedo bombers, several Dornier 217 and Heinkel 111 bombers, plus a 4-engine Kondor FW-200 bomber controlling radio guided glide bombs. This was probably the most massive single air attack against a merchant ship convoy during WWII. The screen of war ships were under command Of US Navy Commander Jessie Sowell aboard USCGC Campbell. The Bermans dropped at least 91 torpedoes and many bombs at us. There were some glide bombs used , also. We shot down more enemy planes than any other Merchant ship convoy, in a single engagement, during WWII. We shot down a at least 22 German planes. There were NO ships sunk, nor did any suffer a direct hit, in the convoy. The Germans broadcast the next day an extensive list of ships they claimed to have sunk and damaged. Roy W.

Pipeline Music Inc.

Pipeline Music Inc. is a label and licensor of Classical Music or The Los Angeles based company which bought the worldwide distribution rights to Russian Classical Music recordings after a long process of negotiation. The directors of this company are Canadian entrepreneur, an Odessa-born Russian-American named Tristan Del and US entrepreneur and producer Denny Diante. Hours of rare classical music recordings and video footage of Russian artists, such as ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, were then being released after gathering dust for more than seven decades by Pipeline. The recordings of more than 400,000 performances, recorded by the Soviet Ministry of Radio and Television, are being made available on albums and digital by the US firm Pipeline Music. Pipeline has released to date over 200 physical and digital albums in the US. Some have already gone on sale in the UK, US, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. During his three decades as a record producer, Denny Diante worked with everyone from Barbra Streisand to the Grateful Dead. None of that experience, however, could have prepared him for his latest venture -- cataloging, digitizing and marketing a 400,000-hour archive of Russian classical music that was designated a national treasure in 1996 by former Russian Federation President Boris Yeltsin. Denny then launched Pipeline Music Inc. In January 1989, the Russian authorities gave a US entrepreneur,Tristan Del, exclusive access to the archive to produce and sell the archives in any music format or media. The contract obliged Diante and Del to produce and market at least 52 of the pieces but there are up to 400,000 hours of video and audio footge, but only two were presented. In addition to this Del launch his own label called Fenix Entertainment Inc. They estimated the archives could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And classical music experts said the archive provided a valuable record of 20th Century Soviet musical artistry. Classical stars from outside the former Soviet Union are also included, such as American Paul Robeson singing in Moscow Tchaikovslky Hall in 1949.

Composer Gennady Rozhdestvensky was filmed in the late 1960s Many of the recordings were hidden away in vaults in Soviet government buildings by archive staff when the artists fell out of favour and their performances were banned. They were discovered when the Soviet Union collapsed. However, years of disagreement between the Russian Government and private companies wanting to buy the recordings left them untouched. Pipeline finally acquired the rights to the archives in 1999, after securing the Russian government's trust. Technical problems delayed the release of the recordings further. They were produced mainly for radio or TV broadcasts on analogue tape, vinyl discs or large metal discs. And on many of the recordings there is background noise from air conditioning, heating and people moving around. Yet, though Pipeline remastered the tapes in The USA and the UK, it is keeping the less-than-perfect sound quality. So far, recordings released in The UK , Japan and South Korea have proved a hit with classical music lovers. Pipeline Music Inc & Fenix Entertainment however went into administration in mid 2005.

Location Sound Recordist

A location Sound Recordist is part of a television crew or film crew. His/her main function is to capture relevant sound and sound effects from a location television or film shoot for later inclusion in the finished product.

Usually, the recordist will arrive on location with his/her own equipment, which normally includes Microphones, booms, mixing desk, Audio Storage, headphones, cables, tools, and a small amount of stationary for making notes and logs.

The recordist may be asked to capture a wide variety of sound on location, and must also consider the format of the finished product. For television programmes this would normally be transmitted in Monaural, but sometimes Stereophonic sound is requested, as well as Prologic surround. For film work he/she may be asked to record for surround sound.

Servite High School

Servite High School is an all-boys Catholic high school in Anaheim, California. The school was founded in 1957, conducted by the Order of Friar Servants of Mary (Servites), an order that dates all the way back to 13th century Italy! It has an enrollment of 800 young men, from Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Servite is best known for its rigorous academic curriculum, sports programs, fine arts, and its "four D's"; dedication, determination, discipline, and desire. Servite has over 6,400 graduates.

Servite's fine arts program has been taken to a whole new level since the arrival of Gregg Goodhart in the 2000-2001 school year. He has created its guitar program (one of the few high school guitar programs in the United States), which is recognized at a national level. Servite's Guitar Program offers beginning and advanced guitar classes. His students in his Advanced Guitar class have played several concerts, and have even played at the Guitar Ensemble Festival in Brownsville, Texas where they have won several awards. Most recently, Gregg Goodhart and his Advanced Guitar students have released a professionally-recorded Christmas CD of their music. What's truly amazing is, several of Mr. Goodhart's advanced guitarists, some of whom have won awards (at the Guitar Ensemble Festival) for their ability, had little or no guitar experience upon entering his beginning guitar class!

Servite's Athletics Program has won over 90 league championships, 3 State Championships, and 11 C.I.F. champtions. Servite competes in one of the toughest leagues around, the Serra League. Most recently (2005), Servite football won a league championship, the water polo team won both a League Championship and a C.I.F. Championship. And in 2004, the cross country team won State Championship!

It's sister schools are Rosary High School and Connelly High School, both all-girls Catholic schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.175.130.47 (talk • contribs)

Eugene Caillaux - Jules Dufaure's Third Government, 23 February - 9 March 1876

File:Http://www.caillaux.com/phpmyfamily/images/10086.jpgBorn 8am in Orleans France. Enginner and responsible for the design and construction of the Viaduct in Laval France. File:Http://www.caillaux.com/phpmyfamily/images/10117.jpg Married to Ana and father of Joseph Marie Auguste Caillaux File:Http://www.caillaux.com/phpmyfamily/images/10014.jpg

Joseph Caillaux, the son of Eugéne Caillaux, a conservative politician, was born in Le Mans, France, on 30th March, 1863. After obtaining a law degree in 1886 he joined the Finance Ministry as a deputy inspector.

Caillaux was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1898 and after acquiring a reputation as an expert on economic matters was appointed minister of finance in 1899, a post he held until 1902. He also served as minister of finance between 1906 and 1909. Caillaux introduced several important reforms but failed in his attempt to establish an income tax system.

On 27th June, 1911, Caillaux was appointed prime minister. While holding this position he upset a large number of people in France by making territorial concessions to the German colony of Cameroon. Caillaux, who was attempting to prevent a war over Morocco, was forced to resign over the issue in January 1912.

Caillaux was accused of being a pacifist in 1913 when he opposed an extension to conscription. This resulting in a press campaign against Caillaux. In 1914, Gaston Calmette, the editor of Le Figaro, threatened to publish love letters between Caillaux and his former mistress and now his second wife. This resulted in Madame Caillaux killing Calmette but at her trial she was acquitted of murder.

Caillaux, now a member of the Radical Party, was opposed to France's involvement in the First World War. Caillaux worked hard to achieve a negotiated peace. In November 1917 George Clemenceau became prime minister. He immediately clamped down on dissent and Caillaux and Louis Malvy, another senior politician opposed to the war, were both arrested for treason.

Caillaux was eventually tried in 1920. Although acquitted on the treason charge he was convicted of corresponding with Germany during the war and banished from France and deprived of his civil rights for ten years.

After an amnesty in July, 1924, Caillaux was appointed by Paul Painleve as his finance minister. He also served briefly in this post in 1935.

In 1938 Caillaux supported Edouard Daladier in his attempts to negotiate an agreement with Adolf Hitler. After the failure of appeasement he retired from politics and refused to become a member of the Vichy government. Joseph Caillaux died in Mamers on 22nd November, 1944.

"The year is 927 A.D. (as mortals reckon time) and the Almighty ODIN has summoned you, his faithful and heroic son, to The Great Hall of Asgard:

"Thor, my son, your evil half brother, Loki, the God of Mischief, has once again betrayed us. While I slept the great Odinsleep, he managed to subdue and take control of my beloved land of Midgard. He has acquired the aid of two of his most fearsome allies:

Jormangund, the Midgard Serpent, and Nognir, Prince of the Underworld.

If you are not able to stop him now, his control over Midgard will be so complete that I, myself, may not be able to oppose him and his two very powerful accomplices. To help you on your mission, I give you my most trusted weapon: Mjolnir, the enchanted hammer.

Made for me by the king of trolls, and enchanted by my own power, it will always return to the one who throws it. Now, armed with only your enchanted hammer and considerable wits, you must journey to Midgard and destroy Jormangund!

Archaean Harmony

Archaean Harmony is a Maltese metal band started in 1995. It has seen a number of line-up and stylistic changes throughout the years.

Early Years

Archaean Harmony was founded in January of 1995 by Darkmortem (Chris Zarb) and Lord Trebor (Robert Agius). The first release was the January 1998 demo ‘Resentment Of An Evanesce Aeon’. The line up for this session included Darkmortem, Lord Trebor, guitar player Adrameleck and session bass and drum programming. The opening track ‘Beneath the Seas of Absu’ would be featured on various compilation tapes and on the CD sampler ‘Tomorrow’s Millionaires’ released by Toppling Colossus Records. In all the band would sell over 600 copies of ‘Resentment Of An Evanesce Aeon’.

A second demo, recorded at [Temple Studios] with Lord Trebor handling the bulk of the instrumentation, was released in 1999. Guitarist Adrameleck departed in 1999 to be replaced by Adriel (Chris Mintoff).

Early 2000's

The band signed to Solemn Music to issue the 2000 ‘Nihility Mundane Soul’ CD, the same material recorded a couple of months before at Temple Studios. 'Nihility Mundane Soul' sold around 2000 copies and further generated another 3000 on-line downloads of the track ‘Metabolism Under the Ascending Moon - Part 2’ on the mp3.com site. This same track was also featured on various compilation tapes and on the compilation album ‘Insights of the Profane’ issued by the American Makahru label, and the ‘Blood In The Waters’ compilation released by Deadtide.

During early 2001 Archaean Harmony enrolled Enshroud, Sceptopcrypt and Dysmennorhea man Asmodeus (Conrad Borg) on keyboards, Enshroud drummer Bocc (Kenneth Paul Pace) and No Name Yet bassist Steven Muliett. Conrad Borg quit soon after.

Stylistically, the band moved further away from their quasi-black metal past and towards more progressive music.

Present

Co-founder and guitarist Robert Agius and guitarist Chris Mintoff quit the band in 2003 due to personal reasons.

Adrian Camilleri (ex-Angeldust) took up guitar duties in early 2004. The other co-founder of the band, Chris Zarb, quit in mid-2004, also for personal reasons. The band had a stint as a three-piece instrumental band.

Conrad Borg re-joined the band as vocalist in late 2004, and singer Bianca Caruana joined in summer of 2005.

The current line-up includes Kenneth Pace on drums, Steve Muliett on bass, Conrad Borg and Bianca Caruana on vocals, and Adrian Camilleri on guitars. Virtually all black metal references have been dropped, opening up to a versatile progressive sound with frequent references to jazz.

No new releases have been issued by the band since 2000.

Kaiser Ghidorah

Kaiser Ghidorah (alternately Keizer Ghidorah) is the most recent, and most powerful, incarnation of Godzilla’s longtime nemesis, King Ghidorah. Unlike Ghidorah’s previous incarnations (save for Death Ghidorah of the Mothra Trilogy) Kaiser Ghidorah is quadrapedal, however, like his older forms, Kaiser Ghidorah stands significantly taller then Godzilla when they battle. Kaiser Ghidorah’s skin is the traditional golden colour of his predecessors, but significantly dulled with the occasional tinge of blue, and his eyes are sunken deep into his heads, red and pupiless. In a change from the older incarnations of Ghidorah, Kaiser Ghidorah has rather small wings, as opposed to the intimidating and incredibly large wings of his older incarnations. Kaiser Ghidorah, however, returns to his evil roots, changing back form his benevolent portrayal in Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monster All Out Attack.

Kaiser Ghidorah evolved from of the skeletal Monster X, leading to some speculation that Monster X may be a type of chrysalis stage for Ghidorah. After Godzilla and Monster X battled to a stand still, Monster X transformed into Ghidorah, to a choral of lightning. Godzilla, seemingly undaunted at the titanic beast that appeared before him, fired his atomic ray immediately after Ghidorah rose. Kaiser Ghidorah fired his gravity rays, locking his beam with Godzilla’s. Unlike when Godzilla and Monster X’s beams collided, Ghidorah and Godzilla began to push against the others beam, Ghidorah proving too powerful for Godzilla. Godzilla is thrown to the ground, left at the mercy of Kaiser Ghidorah and his devastating rays. Ghidorah smashes Godzilla across the destroyed landscape, sending him crashing into crumbling buildings and slamming him to the ground. Eventually, Ghidorah uses his immense weight to crush Godzilla, weakening him so he can no longer fight back. Ghidorah then reaches out and seizes Godzilla in his mouths, lifting him high off the ground. The mighty dragon then leeches the life from Godzilla’s body, rendering him unconscious, or possibly dead.

It is at this point when the mutant soldier Ozaki, realizing Godzilla is their only hope at destroying Kaiser Ghidorah, leaps into the main firing chair of the warship Gotengo and transfers his “Kaiser” energy to Godzilla. The energy awakens Godzilla once more, endowing him with immense power. Godzilla proceeds to turn the tables on Kaiser Ghidorah, decapitating his middle head with his atomic breath and cutting his right head off by redirecting one of Ghidorah’s own rays. He then pummels Ghidorah and hurls him to the sky, firing a ultra-powerful spiral ray that sends Kaiser Ghidorah flying into the stratosphere, where he explodes and is destroyed forever.

The Kaiser Ghidorah incarnation marks the first time in his history that his Gravity Rays/Gravity Bolts beam weapon has actually disrupted gravity to be used as an attack. The older incarnations of Ghidorah’s gravity bolts used to use entirely concussive force to attack his opponents, whereas Kaiser Ghidorah’s rays act as a form of “tractor beam”, allowing Ghidorah to lift his opponent and move them to his will. A point of fan speculation about Kaiser Ghidorah is whether he killed Godzilla in their final battle. Many believe Godzilla was simply too weak to fight back, but others say that he was actually dead, when Ghidorah seized him in his Energy Bite and siphoned his life energy away. If it were truly the latter, it would solidify Kaiser Ghidorah’s place as Godzilla most powerful opponent to date.

Porn Buddy

   This is the term for a close friend of a person (usually single) that "clears out" his/her house of questionable material before family members arrive in the event of a death or an accident.
    Usually, the porn buddy is given a key to access the premises and is told in greater detail of what things the friend wants disposed to avoid embarrassment of the person's lifestyle to other friends or family.
   This can include items such as black books, phone numbers, cell phones, magazines, deleting internet files and activity and sexual devices.
    The reason for having a porn buddy is for friends and family of the desceased to have better memories of him/her at their funeral or while visiting him/her in the hospital.

www.pepipoo.com

Introduction

www.pepipoo.com is a UK-based website aimed at motorists and road users who seek legal advice on aspects of road transport law.

Mission Statement

From www.pepipoo.com:

Our Mission: To reveal to the ordinary UK motorist, clearly and concisely, how the police and judiciary deal with allegations of speeding in real life, and to provide the information motorists need to defend themselves.

Purpose

The stated aim of the website is to educate visitors on all aspects of English and Scottish law with regard to road traffic offences. Many of the visitors to Pepipoo's website are motorists who have been threatened with prosecution for a road traffic offence, and who may be seeking legal advice without resorting to paying for legal counsel.

The website is possibly most likely to be used for motorists who have been threatened with prosecution for a speeding offence, since this type of offence is widespread in the UK, but it also deals with other offences, including drink driving, accidents (from any cause), insurance questions, and any other motoring related question. The website also carries news of government policy on roads policing, news items related to the former, court cases ongoing (to help establish legal precedent), and information on various types of speed cameras. The website also carries information on 'real cases' to help illustrate faulty procedures and legal loopholes for road traffic offences.

P-Series

The P-Series Chevrolet chassis was built for GM's motorhomes. Chevrolet offered a wide range of engines to match the chassis over the years; many included the small-block and big-block V8's. Over the years, it was gradually receiving many refinements, up until 1999, when Chevrolet finally stopped building the chassis because of formidable competition from Ford. Ford introduced the V-10 series motorhome chassis with a "wide-track" stance, whereas the Chevrolet still retained the inward wheel base. However, Chevrolet didn't give up the fight because it offered the 7.4 Liter Big Block Vortec V8 with a class leading 290 horsepower until Ford's V10 received an upgrade in mechanicals, and it produced 310 horsepower. GM sold their rights to the motorhome chassis business to Workhorse Chassis Industries, who still use Chevrolet components, namely the 8.1 Vortec 8100 Series with a currently class leading 340 horsepower, and Workhorse uses the Allison five-speed automatic transmission.

T.H. Lain

A collective pseudonym used by eight separate authors writing under Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons novels imprint.

Authors

According to Peter Archer, WotC's Director of Publishing, the decision to credit the Dungeons & Dragons novels to just one author was made to ensure they would shelved together, as well as to spark a certain measure of curiosity and speculation as to T.H. Lain's identity. However, it was obvious to many from the stylistic differences between volumes that Lain's output was the work of many authors rather than one. In December 2003, WotC formally announced the eight authors whose work was published under the T.H. Lain name:

  • Philip Athans, Managing Editor for Wizards of the Coast Book Publishing and editor of the Forgotten Realms novel line.
  • Cory Herndon, a freelance writer and one-time editor of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game.
  • Bruce R. Cordell, an RPG designer with TSR and Wizards of the Coast.
  • Ed Stark, Design Manager and Creative Director for the Dungeons & Dragons line.
  • Johnny L. Wilson, writer for Computer Gaming World and co-author of High Score! The Illustrated History of Electronic Games.
  • Nate Levine, a freelance writer.
  • Murray J.D. Leeder, a freelance writer.
  • Dave Gross, Editor-in-Chief for Star Wars Gamer and Star Wars Insider.
  • Jess Lebow, an editor in the Wizards of the Coast Book Publishing department.

In addition, Steve Winter acted as line editor, starting with The Living Dead.

Books of T.H. Lain

Nine books were published under the T.H. Lain pseudonym between July 2002 and December 2003, collectively following the exploits of the "iconic characters" of Dungeons & Dragons. These were:

  • The Savage Caves — Philip Athans
  • The Living Dead — Cory Herndon
  • Oath of Nerull — Bruce Cordell
  • City of Fire — Ed Stark
  • The Bloody Eye — Johnny L. Wilson
  • Treachery's Wake — Nate Levine
  • Plague of Ice — Murray J.D. Leeder
  • The Sundered Arms — Dave Gross
  • Return of the Damned — Jess Lebow
  • The Death Ray — Philip Athans

Karun Chandok

Born - 19 / 01 / 1984, in Madras, India

A1 GRAND PRIX

Karun has been chosen to be one of the lead drivers for Team India for the all new A1 Grand Prix Series 2005-06. The championship which is running races in 6 continents is being run as the World Cup of Motorsport with drivers fighting for country’s pride as much as personal glory. 



 WORLD SERIES by RENAULT – 2005

For 2005, Karun has re-signed with RC Motorsport after a long winter of negotiations with several of the top teams from the ‘World Series’ as well as teams from other championships such as Champ Cars, GP2, Formula Nippon and Euro Formula 3000.

The 2005 ‘World Series’ goes to some exciting new venues and Karun and the team are looking forward to recording some podium finishes in this first experience building year before aiming for race wins in 2006. 



 NISSAN WORLD SERIES - 2004

Karun got the opportunity to join compatriot Narain Karthikeyan at front running team “TATA RC Motorsport”, to contest the last 4 races of the highly competitive Nissan World Series. With just 50 laps of testing in Barcelona before the race weekend at Valencia, he surprised the pitlane by qualifying in the top ten on his first visit to the circuit. He raced competitively running as high as 7th at one point, but suffered a collision in race one and lost two laps in the pits in the second race.

In the final two races at Jerez – another new circuit for him -, Karun did a stunning job qualifying 8th and 5th (without doing a single dry lap of the circuit before qualifying) and finishing 8th and 4th in the two races – a truly impressive performance for someone in just their second weekend of racing in a far higher category. 



 FORMULA 3 - 2004

In 2004, Karun moved up along with T-Sport to the Championship class of British F3 - a bold move considering neither the team nor the driver had worked with the Championship class car. Karun was in the top 6 on several occasions early on in the season – notably at Croft, Knockhill and Donington Park, but as the season went on, the team and driver struggled with sponsorship complications and Karun chose to end the program part way through the season and concentrate on using the remainder of the year to prepare for a step upward in 2005. 



 FORMULA 3 - 2003

For 2003, Karun re-signed with the T-Sport team for the British Formula 3 scholarship class championship. Their renewed partnership paid of straight away when Karun won the opening race of the championship at Donington Park. Since that opening round he has won two races each at the Silverstone Formula 1 circuit and Oulton Park and also one each at Croft, Rockingham and the legendary Brands Hatch circuit. His tally of 8 wins and a total of 19 podium finishes makes him statistically India’s most successful Formula 3 driver. Unfortunately a string of bad luck and non-finishes damaged his championship chances, but even so Karun ended 3rd in the overall championship standings, less than 10 points behind the winner. 



 FORMULA 3 - 2002

In October of 2001, Karun was invited to test with Carlin Motorsport who had then just won the British Formula 3 Championship. In typical wet and windy British weather at Pembrey in South Wales, Karun acclimatised himself well and ended the day significantly faster than what the team had expected of a new driver. This led to an offer for 2002 from T-Sport "the Junior Carlin Team" to contest in the Scholarship Class (1 year old cars) in the British Formula 3 Championship.

During the season Karun faced a steep learning curve as this was his first year of racing in the UK, which meant that he had to learn the car, the circuits and the notorious weather conditions – the latter were well known to all his competitors. Karun improved race by race and by mid-season he was a regular in the top 3 both in Qualifying and in the Races. He ended the year with 6 podium finishes (3 Seconds and 3 Thirds) and 6th place in the Championship. 



 FORMULA ASIA - 2001

Karun made his international racing debut in the 2001 Asian Formula 2000 series driving for "JK Tyres – Kingfisher Team India Racing". Karun became the first Indian to win on his international debut when he won both the races at the opening round at Subic Bay in the Philippines. He followed this up with 3 more wins, the first 2 of which were at the Johor Bahru circuit in Malaysia, which is rated as the ultimate driver circuit in Asia, and the third one was at Shah Alam – also in Malaysia - in the pouring rain. Karun thus became the first Asian to win the opening 5 races of the season. This run of victories was followed by 3 second places and one third place in Shah Alam, Sepang (Malaysia) and Bira ( Thailand ). Karun bounced back with a win in the second race at Bira to extend his championship lead. At the next round in Korea, Karun bounced back from a big 140 km/h accident and scored his 7th win of the season equalling the five year old record Asian Formula record, which he then went on to beat at the following round at Zuhai in China. With his 8th win of the year Karun was crowned the 2001 Asian Formula 2000 Champion. 


 YOUNGEST EVER FORMULA ASIA CHAMPION

Karun exceeded expectations at the prestigious Macau Grand Prix supporting AF 2000 race. He finished 3rd at his first attempt around the infamous street circuit and was the TOP ROOKIE in the race. 


 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP - 2000

MARUTI ESTEEMS -

Karun started racing cars in 2000.He was due to take part in only the Formula Maruti Class but his car wasn’t competitive and he decided to drive the esteem just for fun and took everyone by surprise by taking pole position and victory in both races on his debut. Karun continued in the esteem class and dominated the year winning 5 more races, on his way to 3 National records and the National Championship. 


 YOUNGEST EVER NATIONAL RACING CHAMPION   
     
    
     
 Formula Maruti

Karun was the only driver to take part in both the Esteem - Saloon Car and Single Seater Formula Maruti class. He was able to adapt his driving style to both cars, which are totally different from the driving point of view. Karun didn’t start 2 races early on in the season but from there on he scored 1 win and 3 second places in 4 finishes.

Maglia Rosa

The term "maglia rosa" or pink jersey denotes the overall leader for the Giro d'Italia or Tour of Italy. Like the famous yellow jersey worn in the Tour de France the "maglia rosa" lets fans and sports writers identify the overall race leader from all others more easily and allows the main sponsor of the tour to show off their support. The overall leader of any grand tour is the rider with the lowest acculumated time over all stages. Other jersey are also used in many of the three grand tours. They are often a King of the Mountains jersey, a Sprinters Jersey and Best young rider, usually riders under the age of 23. Within professional cycling to wear the "maglia rosa" for just one day is considered a great source of pride, much less win the overall race.

List of songs about sex (and seduction)

It's listed in the "List of lists of songs" but doesn't seem to actually exist yet. I can think of several which could go here if the article were to be created:

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails "Godfather's Lollipop" by Shabutie "Kinderwhore" by Shabutie "The Velourium Camper I: The Faint of Hearts" by Coheed and Cambria "Possum Kingdom" by The Toadies "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye "Get It On" by T-Rex "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent "Love Gravy" by Chef (from South Park)

Most songs by Barry White are about sex as well, although I don't know specific song titles.

Destructuralism

A fanatical political ideal introduced in the book Warday. Similar to anarchism, calls for the destruction of major social organization and economic structures. Main line of the ideal is that the largest and only allowed social unit would be the family. All political or economic activity would be that between families, which would have total political and economic freedom. Currency would not exist, governemts would not exist. All trade would be barter of goods or services.

PETER GEORGIEV LILOV

Peter Georgiev Lilov (Jan.5 1929) is a Bulgarian poet who is famous for his verses, such as "My Father". He was inspired to writing by author Edgar Wallace. He created books to fit all his tons of poetry. As a child, he was a poor schoolboy, always working. He born during the Great Depression, and was a boy during World War 2, nearly dying if it wasn't for his sack he was carrying that took a hit from American troops. He is not very known, but still is famous for a lot of his verses.

LMFAOBBQ

It is an acronym for 'Laughing My F**king Ass Off Barbecued'. It is an extension of the acronym LMFAO. LMFAO is commonly used in online discussion forums, or Internet Relay Chats. LMFAOBBQ is also used in the same environments, but it indicates an even more exaggerated state of mirth than LMFAO. It is usually used after an extremely funny joke was told.

The growing usage of this BBQ extension seems to indicate a need to express the varying amounts of laughter. Facial expressions is obvious in a face-to-face conversation, but lacking in text-based communication. This acronym fills the need to convey expressions in an otherwise expressionless medium.

Distributed Applications Framework

The need for distributed applications is growing. Some quick and easy solutions now exist which will help a developer generate such an application right out of the box. These shrink-wrap solutions, however, often fail to provide the power necessary to build a truly robust distributed system. The following pattern is presented for use in projects that require a custom built solution.



Goals The distributed application framework is a pattern for developing a suite of applications that share data. The goals of this pattern are as follows:

Application integration, both at the data level and the business level: Data integration means that the user does not "export" or "import" data to cross application boundaries. Instead, the data is immediately available, even when both applications are running simultaneously. Business integration means that applications may share common business logic and user interface components, promoting both a common look-and-feel and code reuse. Distributed application development. Different parts of each application may reside on different machines if appropriate. This framework also scales back to a single workstation solution. Insulation of data storage. When the inevitable changes occur to table structure, file format, or other storage issues, the repercussions are localized to a handful of objects.

Polish P-64 Pistol

The P-64 in 9x18mm was designed during the late fifties by a team of Polish army officers. The team developed two different prototypes called CZAK (acronym of designer's last names): model M (milicyjny - police model) and model W (wojskowy - military model). The two models differed in magazine capacity and external dimensions (the military model had longer barrel and 7-round magazine). In 1961 CZAK model M was chosen to replace the Russian Tokarev TT-33 pistol as the standard service pistol of the Polish military, police and government security agencies. Production started in the middle sixties under the official designation "9 mm pistolet wz. 1964" (9 mm pistol model 1964). 1972 saw introduction of minor changes to the trigger mechanism and shape of the hammer (larger hammer spur).


The P-64 is a blowback operated, double-action pistol. Although reportedly designed from scratch by Polish engineers, the P-64 is similar to German Walther PPK and is sometimes described as it's clone. Frame and slide are made of steel and the finish is blue. The barrel is fixed to the frame with the recoil spring wound around it. The controls consist of a slide mounted safety lever and a magazine catch. The safety lever has two positions: up for "fire" and down for "safe" and decocks the hammer (if cocked) when put on safe. The safety mechanism allows the slide to be operated with safety on. Unlike the Walther, the P-64's magazine release is located at the bottom of the frame. The single-column magazines hold 6 rounds. The slide locks back when the last round from the magazine is fired. There is no external slide release. Double-action trigger pull is considered heavy: 110-120 N (25-27 lb). The sights are fixed and set at a distance of 50 meters. A loaded-chamber indicator is located in the rear part of the slide, just above the hammer. Grips are checkered black plastic. The gun is field stripped by swinging down the hinged trigger guard. The slide is then pulled rearward, upward and removed from the frame.

P-64 is a compact sidearm; measuring 160 mm long and 117 mm high and weighting 678 g when loaded, it is just slightly larger and heavier than the PPK but it fires a more potent round. P-64 is one of the most compact 9 mm Makarov pistols made. It was carried in an issued leather flap holster equipped with a side pocked for a spare magazine and a cleaning rod. A leather shoulder holster was also issued. Fully loaded with a loaded spare magazine, standard service holster and cleaning gear it weights just 930 g (32.8 oz).

The Challengers

The Challengers were an instrumental surf rock band in the 1960s, located in Los Angeles. They started early in the game and helped make the genre popular. Their debut album Surfbeat is the biggest sellign surf album of all-time and almost single-handedly brought surf from California to the rest of the world.

The band was formed out of the ashes of The Bel-Airs. The Bel-Airs were just high schoolers at the time (the bassist was in 8th Grade), but had a hit with "Mr. Moto." Their potential was cited by many, but parental intervention led to their breakup.

Soon afterward, Bel-Airs drummer Rick Delvy (b. Richard Delvechio) decided to form a new band. He brought other Bel-Airs members Jim Roberts (keyboards) and Randy Nauert (bass guitar) in and they became the Challengers. For guitar, Glenn Grey was brought in for lead and Don Landis for rhythm. They played at high school and local dances and such, and eventually got earned enough pay to rent a jazz studio to record. Nick Hefner had just joined on saxophone; he plays on only one track. In about three and a half hours, they had an album. Surfbeat was released in January of 1963 and quickly went up the charts. Just months earlier, The Beach Boys' and Dick Dale's collective debuts had ben released. The surf culture was becoming a national phenomenon and The Challengers helped put it in full gear. The album contained songs that were early influences on surf rock, including numbers by The Fireballs and Daune Eddy.

The Challengers moved on and continued to record albums. During the recording of On The Move, Hefner, Grey and Landis all left the band. Hefner was replaced by Phil Pruden, while Art Fisher and Eddie Fournier filled in the guitar spot. In 1964, they released the album K-39. The title track became a big hit and is their best-known song. The group continued their career, recording several albums a year, shocking by todays "one album every two years" pattern. They also had their own TV show, Surf's Up. LA cartoonist Rick Griffin, who later designed posters for groups during the psychedelic period, drew several cartoons for the band featured on the LP sleeves.

In 1965, as music changed, so did The Challengers. They began recording more pop-oriented music, like an instrumental version "Kicks" by Paul Revere & The Raiders. By 1966, they had gone the way of all other surf bands, into history. A 1970 release of the band was titled, fittingly Where Were You In The Summer Of '62.

Finding Film Producers

It is easy to find what films Producers have made, but not so good when trying to make contact with them. Film Producers are often heard to say they cannot find good scripts, especially for feature films. 

 Script writers meet impossible hurdles when trying to submit scripts.
 So surely the time has come to provide an alternative to submissions for competitions and create a fast track.
 As a writer of nine full feature scripts with good analyst reports, I find this state of affairs frustrating in the extreme.

Dare To Believe

Dare To Believe is a surreal comedy television programme that was shown on ITV1 in the UK. The programme was shown during the early hours of Sunday mornings for much of 2003, and ran for two series. It had the motto "Fly like a mouse, run like a cushion: be the small bookcase!", which was repeated in a hypnotic voice at the beginning of each programme. The show gained a cult following amongst students and insomniacs with it's unusual humour.

It was written & directed by Tim Scott, who also acted in the show.

Popular characters included The Aguamoose Man, the Twarb Coffee Woman and a lady who presented a weather style mini-programme that gave warnings on the size of elks to be expected in various parts of the UK that evening. Another bizarre yet memorable sketch that reoccured throughout the series was various multicoloured screens containing an object, for example a spoon, whilst a man and woman's voice alternated saying "What's this?" and then what the object was, occasionally replacing the name of the object with a random phrase, for example "Osprey Housing".

Downriver Detroit, Michigan

Downriver Detroit, Michigan, or just Downriver, is the commonly used name for an area comprised of 18 municipalities south, and southwest, of the City of Detroit in Wayne County. The eastern boundary of Downriver is the Detroit River (from the shoreline to the Canadian border which essentially runs through the middle of the river), the western boundary is the communities that make up the western edge of Wayne County, and the southern boundary is Monroe County.

The use of the name Downriver to describe the region became popular during the 1970s. Prior to this time, the region was most often called Southern Wayne County. The name Downriver is generally considered a reference to the fact that the stretch of the Detroit River south of Detroit that flows into Lake Erie is the defining feature of the region.

The area is best known for its excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, bird watching, hunting and other outdoor activities enjoyed in, or along side, the Detroit River as well as in natural areas and parks maintained by local communities.

The composition of the workforce in Downriver communities is very diverse as residents work in white-collar and blue-collar occupations; however, the automotive manufacturing industry is considered to be the most important economic sector in the region. Before the rise of the auto industry during the 20th Century, ship building and farming were the most important sectors of the local economy in the 19th Century.

According to the 2000 Census, the total population of Downriver communities was approximately 357,000. Downriver municipalities are:

Extremum

Extremum - Christian Rock band from Bulgaria, who have performed at numerous international festivals such as LIME (USA), SOZO (Hungary), "New Generation" (Romania), "Kristfest" (Croatia), "Berkstock", "Praise Fest" (Bulgaria) and other. Their lyrics are in English and their main goal is to tell the good news about Jesus Christ to as many people as possible through their performances in the Balkan region.

History

Extremum is formed as a band at the begining of 1998 in the capital of Bulgaria - Sofia. The first members of Extremum are: Aleksandar 'Sasho' Mladenov - leading vocals, Boris 'Bobby' Grudev - guitars, Mladenka 'Denny' Grudeva - bass and backing vocals and Anton 'Tonny' Radoslavov - drums. The band has changed since the begining. Only a year after its creation Sasho leaves and Denny has to handle the job of a "frontwoman" and leading vocals. At the end of the year another member hits the road - Tonny. A few months later, in 2000, Julian 'Juli' Nedkov (former member of another bulgarian band Babyface clan) takes the seat behind the drums and Extremum manages to keep this trio for three consecutive years. During that period they have the chance to perform abroad and even get to the United States for the "LIME" festival. At the end of 2003 Stoyan 'Tyanata' Petrov takes the place of Juli who leaves the band earlier the same year.


Discography

Extremum have released two maxi singles (each one containing a number of four songs) since their creation in 1998:

Deep Satisfaction 2001

In The Day 2005

They also have a song called That's His Name recorded in Graffiti Studio, 2003

ROSINA REVELLE

Rosina Revelle is the British pin-up wonder girl with the most amazing conical torpedo-like gravity-defying meat-CONES in the history of womankind. Her meatrack goes out, and out, and out, and then somemore, and then unbelievably, out further somemore. She's got areolas so large its like she's got boobs growing on boobs. I believe she reached that magical point poised between growth and gravity - i.e. she is just about as large as biologically possible BEFORE gravity sets in and drags everything downwards, so she's just-sooooo incredibly perky! Gosh you can launch fighterjets off her chest! Wow!!

She is also reputed to have made a short film clip, the lengendary DADDY LIK'EM BUXOM.

Here's her story from pinuptributes.com (no one can put it better):- Born in 1940 in Warwickshire, England, Rosina Revelle was a spectacularly cantilevered sexpot of a woman who, according to pinup expert Steve Sullivan in his book "Glamour Girls -- The Illustrated Encyclopedia" ranked "as one of the most astonishing physical specimens ever to bare all for a photographer." We couldn't have said it any better ourselves. Rosina began posing at a very early age, winning local beauty contests at the tender age of 14, which paved the way for her to become a hugely popular pinup model. It was the combination of youth, sexiness, charm and nearly unfathomable natural endowments that literally seemed to defy the very laws of physics. Supposedly measuring 46-26-38, Rosina appeared in numerous men's magazines of the late 1950's and even did some nudie-cutie film loops. Sadly, her career came to a fast and furious end as her parents, who apparently did not know what their daughter had been up to, forced her to quit, and she left modeling forever in 1959.

Patrick Cederberg, Kabir Daljeet, Colin Jack, and Marius Masalar are the key components in the unique blend of metal, synth, and intricate keyboard melodies that is Eve of Exile. Patrick tackles the guitar and vocals with thumping riffs and a sophisticated growl, with lyrics that delve deep into his own creative swimming pool. Kabir hits the bass with immense style, aggression, and attitude; slapping it like a freak on a leash, and Colin hammers away on the skins with nothing but pure strength and force, each crack of the snare like a gunshot on a distant battlefield. Finally we have Marius on the keyboard, sliding up and down the keys like ice, pumping out melodies and works of art. Hailing from Mississauga, Ontario, Eve of Exile have managed to get a good grasp on the gun, and shoot for the stars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericzorn (talk • contribs)

Gold Coast based Liberal Candidate for Senator in the State of Queensland.

Widely acknowledged as a factional heavyweight in the dominant Santoro/Caltabiano faction aligned with the national "dry" faction, Powell has been a strong advocate of hard right economic positions coupled with conservative social policy. Powell has also become associated with what some believe to be an anti-environmental position having famiously told a meeting attended by Prime Minister John Howard that "no one gives a sh!t about trees."

Intellectual Whore

An Intellectual Whore is a term created by one Dallas Lynn for his theory of social interaction between men and women at http://www.intellectualwhores.com. The theory as a whole is more complicated, and delves into the reasoning as to why men and women can not be friends in any true, non-sexual manner. However, the term intellectual whore itself merely refers to any male who is "kept" by a female for the purposes of moral comfort, security, emotional soakage abilities, and other such non-sexual issues, while the males maintain their presense out of a misguided attempt to secure a romantic relationship.

The term almost always denotes an unhealthy, almost co-dependant relationship between the two people, where the woman is knowingly commiting the falsehood of allowing the male to think they have a chance, while the male is being duped into a painfull relationship, constantly being near what he wants while never obtaining it. The term derives from Dallas Lyn's reading of "The Whore of Mensa", a short story contained within a Woody Allen book entitled "Getting Even". While the term is never explicity used therein, it was the inspiration for the term.

While the male in this situation is termed an Intellectual Whore, the female is usually termed an Intellectual Pimp, although in more extreme cases where true malevolence is shown on her behalf, she may be termed a "Ninja Bitch" by those who believe in the theory.
