Lots of effort
Hey Jacko, I see in Gregorian calendar you spent a lot of time changing dates, eg, December 1 to 1 December. The reason dates are wikied is that they will appear on YOUR computer in the format you prefer, and which you have selected in prefs. So no need to change dates (but important to wikify them). Cheers Moriori July 5, 2005 02:59 (UTC)
Albury railway platform?
In your edit of Albury, New South Wales you qualified the length of the railway platform assertion to "for many decades". Was it ever the longest, which is now? To my mind such factoids beloing in the category of describing Albury as the "Venice of the Murray River", but as it is an often cited fact perhaps worth devoting a little bit of time to getting it right. I will put some references to the factoid for consideration on the discussion page. Regards--AYArktos 00:06, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hi - its cool but sunny in Canberra today and while there was a little bit of snow in our garden it was not enough for a real thrill. The first thing I learnt about Albury from my husband, who grew up there, was the "fact" that Albury had the longest platform in the southern hemisphere. Like me he somewhat despises such statistics but he was still a little disconcerted to learn that the fact had to be qualified as it was an important part of Albury lore. Regards--AYArktos 23:47, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Titles etc.
I think for some reason Wikipedia editors are overzealous with their title-bestowing. There probably is a place for putting them at the beginning of an article - post-nominals definitely, but the Hon. only while they're still alive. (I don't have objections to "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth . . .", for example, but I would for "Her Majesty Queen Victoria. . ." As for abbreviating, well, something to consider is whether or not the title is likely to be familiar to the average reader (I don't know if "the Hon." would be or not, I just remember thinking that Msgr. is a bit obscure), and for capitalisation, well it should only ever appear once in the article anyway, so it might well be at the beginning. Slac speak up! 07:53, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Glad to have helped with your vocabularic expansion, even if by way of error. As a function of typing approximately 37 bazillion words a day, as well as of my idiocy, I do make lots of mistakes. In fact, "I was a living mistake" will make a fine epitaph for me someday. Have fun! Xoloz 05:15, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Louise Fletcher
Hi. There's a discussion over at talk:Louise Fletcher about whether we should believe IMDb's assertion that she has died. It's very curious that there seems to be no report anywhere else (and she's a pretty famous actress, so you'd think there would be plenty of reports of it). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 18:43, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
I was not trying to be unpleasant, but it is a fact that all dates at Wikipedia are wikified, which most competent editors notice fairly quickly. If you make edits that create unnecessary work for other people, you will get comments. Adam 00:52, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
I am having a very nice day, thank you. I will try to be better behaved. Adam 02:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Burke and Wills
Hi I just noticed you edited the Burke & Wills page so I thought you might have an interest in this (maybe) - Do you know if they returned a 3rd time to Coopers Creek? I put a question about it on the Talk:Burke and Wills expedition page Cfitzart 06:34, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the nice comment about my photos :) I don't know why my computer doesnt like viewing the galleries on wiki oh well, have you thought about joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Canberra and add your name to the participants? Cfitzart 09:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Sourcing quotations
Thanks for the information on the spurious Niels Bohr quote. It is always good to know if quotes used are correct, hopelessly out of context or even real. Its one of those unfortunate times when a pithy quote loses its zest when all the facts are known. Thanks. MeltBanana 18:35, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. Maybe a solution is to retain the quote but de-attribute it. That way, you still have a pithy phrase to enjoy, but you're not misleading anybody as to its source. Cheers JackofOz 23:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
My Honour
The reason for my spelling error was ... "all of the above".
I'd be happy to meet other Wikipedians, any of the days listed at Wikipedia:Meetup/Melbourne should suit me. How to we organise same? Avalon 07:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
I have always assumed that the D-notice banning mention of the whereabouts of the Petrovs was legally binding. Your edit suggests it wasn't. Do you have a reference on this? Adam 03:39, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
I think you are probably right. The article should probably say that the press was "formally requested" not to mention the Patrovs' whereabouts, or something like that. I also have fond memories of Nation Review, not least because it was first publication in Australia to run same-sex personal contact ads. It deserves an article if it doesn't already have one. So does Michael Thwaites, who I see in this morning's Pinko Rag died this week. Adam 04:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Bond actors
I really don't care. I didn't write that bullet. I was merely supporting the original intent. Most people, when they think of Bond, they think of this ultimate English secret agent. The intent is to point out that of all, Moore was the only English-born actor. (Although, in truth, in literature anyway, Bond is Scottish - as an homage to Connery). The entire bullet could probably be removed or rewritten with the "is the only..." taken out with the actors nationality listed instead. K1Bond007 06:27, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
- Bond's heritage wasn't fleshed out by Ian Fleming till On Her Majesty's Secret Service (written in 1963 - the book also mentions Ursula Andress, the first Bond girl in the first Bond film, Dr. No. The heritage deal is documented as an homage to Connery). I disagree about the British vs English thing and I'd also like to point out that Brosnan is not British. K1Bond007 07:04, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Sign of Contradiction. Jesus Christ. Turin. Opus Dei.
Thanks for the feedback, JackofOZ. I just changed the image at the Opus Dei article. Hope you like it. Thomas S. Major 07:00, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Re John Fowles
Hello. I think I changed Fowles' designation from British to English as an afterthought, having in the next sentence indicated that Essex is in England. (I didn't realise it was a reversion.) I really don't mind which it is, so have reinstated British once again. Hope that is okay. Apologies for the typo I overlooked.
Best wishes, David Kernow 13:00, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Die Lustige Witwe
Thank you for your contribution on Talk:Die Lustige Witwe. If you feel it appropriate, please will you re-add the cleanup tag to the article? Thank you. Andy Mabbett 12:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I am shocked that you think that I was putting you down. That was not my intention, and I find it interesting that you took it in the way that you did. The insult was in your imagination only. No such thing was intended by me. Figaro 13:25, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. Cheers Figaro 13:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Just for your information
Users Ted Wilkes and Wyss are working together to suppress my contributions to articles on celebrities which are not in line with their personal opinion, but are well supported by many independent sources. See, for instance, [1] and [2]. Significantly, in his edit summary, Wyss claims, "rv edits by user who has been banned from editing celebrity articles". The same user also says on my talk page: "It seems to me that 141 has violated his probation and should be blocked." See [3] and the reply by arbitrator Fred Bauder: User_talk:Onefortyone#Onefortyone_placed_on_Probation. Ted Wilkes and Wyss even ignore your argument on the Talk:Nick Adams page. See Talk:Nick_Adams#Further_sources_supporting_the_view_that_Adams_had_homosexual_leanings. I think this behavior is unacceptable. Perhaps you may have a further look at the related pages. Thank you.

Of course the system used here only works on an English dictionary, but given a publicly available set of translations, you could easily modify the program to try find translation loopwords. You could also use WordNet to automate the finding of related words, though they would be few.
I've quite enjoyed this, so thanks for bringing them up! jnothman talk 06:06, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I seem I have deleted your past corrections. Can you apply them again? Can I ask you to correct also Schweinfurt and Magdeburg too (I'm not English-speaking, so my written English is bad). Thanks and good work! Attilios
Little more on AfD
Much of the notability discussion on AfD is ad hoc, because some dedicated inclusionist WPians feel that lack of notability is not a real reason for deletion -- at the extreme, some believe every person ever deserves an article. The guideline on notable people is WP:BIO, but AfD often errs in favor of including borderline cases. AfD is controversial, in its own way, but it is also a hotbed for the generation of policy, so I frequent often. I wouldn't get too caught up in trying to develop a definitive answer on notability, though, if I were you; when one deals with the full range of human knowledge, lots of little weird cases pop up. Xoloz 06:24, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
GLBT musicians page
Good point, please add George Michael back. I'm sure that one of the links at George Michael can serve as a source. I don't know Karol Szymanowski though, and the link you gave for him was red (Historic pederastic couples doesn't exist). Radiant_>|< 01:53, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm surprised you changed Hitch to "British/American", bearing in mind your contribution on the Manual of Style talk page. JW 22:50, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
I meant "British-American" instead of British. The article originally said British, then it was changed to "British-American". I rephrased it to "British...later became an American citizen" as this seemed less ambiguous. This question was raised on the Manual of Style talk page, and I thought you were arguing that we shouldn't get too hung up on the idea of citizenship. I didn't see anything wrong in saying he was "British...later became an American citizen" instead of "British, later British-American", which seems a bit clumsy. 18.104.22.168 19:12, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Are you (188.8.131.52) and JW the same user?
- I still don't really know what you're talking about in reference to the Manual of Style talk page. I am not aware that I've ever contributed to that page. Please show me what I said, because I can't find it.
- It's not untrue to say that Hitchcock later became an American citizen, but it's not the whole truth, and that's the problem. He retained dual British and American citizenship, which is precisely why he was entitled to be known as Sir Alfred Hitchcock when he was knighted. Showing him only as an American citizen after 1956 would inevitably raise the question as to whether he should be "Sir" Alfred or just Mr Hitchcock. The question has been conclusively settled, so why invite unnecessary speculation by omitting this very pertinent information? As for clumsiness, you may have a point. But trying to concisely state the nationality history of people who have become dual nationals, without misleading the reader, is a challenge. JackofOz 22:17, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
re: Hugh Dunn
Indeed. If he had used edit summaries it would have been clearer, or if I had done more research before reverting the initial removal. I saw the removal of a prominent figure by an anon, reverted it, checked his contributions and saw only then he had placed it back at 14 Nov. Thats when I went to his talk page to ask for sources ([4]). He didn't check his messages before reverting back to his version. Thats when I made the request on Talk:Deaths in 2005. --Syrthiss 22:00, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
I've only just noticed your comment on my archived talk page re: rhinotillexomania. Thanks for that; I had actually gone searching for the word, but couldn't find it. Snottygobble | Talk 22:30, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
No no, not upset, because I knew it was wrong, and that I did nothing wrong :-) I went ahead and fixed J7's page myself. I have it on my watchlist, in case he changes it back. Search4Lancer 22:34, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Ditto to what you said - 99.99% of the time it is not right to edit another's user page, but this counted for part of the .01% that it ought to be alright.Search4Lancer 22:39, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Stephen Hough
Am just curious, as someone who knew Stephen Hough as a lad, if you know the background to why he has taken Australian citizenship. TIA. mervyn 11:21, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I saw that, and left a big thank you to that admin on their talk page for it. I can't wait til he comes back, we'll probably have to strike him down again. Don't know if you noticed but I managed to get all the messages back onto his talk page. Search4Lancer 11:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Asian politican in 60s Sydney
Just thought I'd ask whether you ever found out the name of the Asian politician that you asked the question about at the Reference Desk? I've been looking for the answer myself so if you know, please set my mind at ease. Cheers. Roisterer 02:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
"Dealing with difficult people"
Hi Jack--you're welcome. This is one of the most difficult situations we face as Wikipedians, specifically the problem of people who 1) are good and knowledgeable editors, and are literally helping to build a good encyclopedia, but 2) absolutely refuse to work with others, indeed are actively contemptuous towards efforts to communicate or collaborate. If problem behaviour persists we could always open an RfC, but my opinion, after having watched that little Drama Central for a year and half, is it probably wouldn't help, and would just increase everyone's stress.
Regarding Tchaikovsky, I read somewhere that his father was a Ukrainian mining engineer (it's not in the latest Grove article, and I'm at work so I can't look in my other sources now) -- however Tchaikovsky was born in Russia and his early musical influences were more Russian than anything else. I can add a bit to the talk page once I have my books in front of me again. Don't let the troublesome people get to you, and keep editing! I appreciate your work here. Best, Antandrus (talk) 16:31, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Tchaikovsky business
Hi Jack. I'm responding here in response to your talk about Tchaikovsky not being of Ukrainian heritage. His father was a Ukrainian mining engineer which I can show you here [5]. Note that there are other sources, I just chose the one I could find the fastest. Also it says here [6] that Tchaikovsky had Ukrainian heritage. His mother was of French origin but only partly. [7] Indeed, Russia was part of Ukraine but since Ukrainians are considered a separate nationality here (though there might be little difference in language and culture) it's probably appropriate to add the fact that he was Ukrainian too. Also, since we're in the debate of who's who in nationality terms. I'd like for you to take a look at the Nicholas Copernicus article, and like to hear your view on the nationality debate that is going on there. Also, I need help populating List of Ukrainians, so if you can help, please join me. Thanks. Antidote
- Thanks, Antidote. I'm moving this to Tchaikovsky's talk page because it's debate you and I should not be confining to ourselves. Please meet me over there. JackofOz 09:18, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Jascha Heifit's daugher??!
Oh my word, Josefa Heifetz Byrne...Jascha Heifetz's daughter! Of course, but that's really neat! <blush>...I didn't know he had a daughter! That's really cool!
BTW, since you play piano, maybe you can help me. Bach's Goldberg Variations...have you played them? I'm working on them, and I'm having trouble with the ornamentation. (I'm doing the three-voice version.) Thanks for any help you can give me, 'cause I'm more a violinist who's trying to keep up with piano as I go! (And Merry Christmas, too, BTW!)--ViolinGirl♪ 21:01, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, thanks for your help anyway. I was listening to Glenn Gould's recording, and his ornamentation was completely different than mine...So, since my violin teacher told me she admired him, I decided to try to mimic his ornamentation, but since I have yet to get the CD, I only have a hint of how to do it. (You can hear how he inteprets them here, if you don't have the CD already.) The variations are really hard, don't you think? Well, thanks for your help anyway. Have a nice day!--ViolinGirl♪ 12:40, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Ten Commandments
Technically, none of the English spellings of the Pharaoh are "correct" because them guys wrote in Hieroglyphics. I wonder what the correct Hieroglyphic characters for "Ramses" (or whatever) actually are? Wahkeenah 21:07, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Never mind, I followed the link to Ramesses II... and I'm not quite sure how they get "Ramesses" out of "Ramessu-meryamen", but this was an educational trip, as I always assumed it was pronounced "RAM-sees" like in the movie, but it's more like "ra-mes-ses", and means something like "son of the sun". I'm sure his enemies had other names for him. >:) Wahkeenah 21:15, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
I can dig it. Consistency is good. :) Hieroglyphics are really hard to understand. No wonder the Egyptian dynasty collapsed. They probably couldn't read their own blueprints, and everything eventually fell apart. Wahkeenah 21:20, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Andrew G talk page
Was it particularly important to 'restore order' for a comment about 'revered statesman' that doesn't even appear in the article anymore? It would probably just make more sense to delete the 'revered statesman' thing altogether. Were you particularly bored at the time?--Jeffro77 15:12, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- (In reply to what was posted on my talk page,) I still think that it is redundant having the irrelevant information left on the talk page, particularly in view of the fact that no-one ever commented on it, and my rewrite of the article makes it meaningless. There isn't a great deal of value in recording the fact that you began a particular talk page unless there is actually some substance to what has been inputted. I could easily go trawling for articles that don't yet have talk pages and put trivial comments just to claim the talk pages as some kind of trophy, but it would be of no benefit to anyone. But I like that you stick to your principles.--Jeffro77 01:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- You asked why it was necessary to rewrite the article. If you refer to my comment on the Talk page, you will see that the reason for rewriting the article was that someone had done a cut-and-paste from a website, the content of which is copyright, and cannot be used on Wikipedia. "Revered statesman ??" under the heading "Revered statesman??" is hardly something of value to be kept for posterity, and is not the same as retaining record of valuable debate. I doubt that the person who did the cut-and-paste from the Australian Idol website did so simply because they read your comment on the talk page, if they even saw it at all.--Jeffro77 04:58, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- I am sorry that you interpreted my appeal to logic as some kind of personal attack on your pride. Whether I 'doubt' the motivations of the cut-and-paster is irrelevant, and I do not claim clairvoyance. However, it is highly improbable that the individual saw your comment and, rather than simply editing the silly expression from the article, decided to go to the Australian Idol website and copy the entire article from there. Further, since the user pasted in an entire article that is subject to copyright, it is unlikely that they are fully aware of the principles of Wikipedia, and therefore probably didn't bother with the Talk page either. I did not say they didn't read your comment, only that even if they had, it was not likely their reason for changing the entire article. The "Revered Statesman" comment did have some relevance at the time of writing, and I'm sorry if I upset you by suggesting otherwise. That said, I stand by my comment that it is no longer needed, and doesn't necessitate prominance on the page, as on its own, with no context, it looks unnecessary and confusing. You accused me of a personal attack, though I did not make any comments personally relevant to you, only concerning what you had written. In response, you have made specific personal insuations which were completely unnecessary. Apology accepted in advance. Peace.--Jeffro77 07:47, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
A quick read of your Talk page suggests that you take offence too quickly (based on comments by users Adam_Carr, Apjake and Figaro). Don't take things so personally or the anxiety will end up killing you.--Jeffro77 07:59, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
Indeed, this fiasco has gone much further than ever intended. In regard to the comments you considered offensive, I am sorry they may have upset you, but they did seem appropriate at the time, and I stand by them in the context they were intended.
- "Were you particularly bored at the time?" was intended in jest.
- Regardless of who wrote it, the question "Revered statesman??" on its own simply doesn't qualify as 'meaningful', 'substantial', 'something of value', or 'valuable debate'. Because the query no longer had any context, it had become a 'trivial comment'.
The "later editor" who explained the replacement of the copyrighted work was me. According to the Talk page guidelines (which is not "policy"), newer information should generally be appended to the bottom of posts, however in principle, it seemed more appropriate that current information regarding a copyright violation was more significant than information which no longer related to the article, and which was the only other post on the Talk page.--Jeffro77 10:36, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
The Astors
Happy New Year to you as well. Curious to me implies that we need to look deeper—that there might be more here than meets than eye, perhaps a reason that we should look for as to why they were born on the same day, rather than just a coincedence (though a big coincedence, certainly one worth noting).
As you say, the inclusion or exclusion of the word isn't a terribly big deal (certainly not one I'd start an edit war over), but I felt that the writing was crisper without it. One of my big rules in copyeditting (both in Wikipedia and when writing professionally) is to avoid adverbs telling the reader how to interpret a sentence—the reader notes the coincidence just as much from "He and his wife were born on the exact same date" as he or she would from "He and his wife were born, curiously, on the exact same date," but does it for him or herself. (This is also a good rule for maintaing NPOV, though that's not really an issue here.) Binabik80 15:18, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject AFL
Hi mate, wondering if you'd be interested in joining WikiProject AFL. It's up and running, we now have a purpose.
If you're not interested in the footballers articles, check out the commentators section, where plenty of personalities like Ron Casey, Peter Landy etc etc have nothing on them. Ask me any questions you may have. Rogerthat 08:23, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Oscar Wilde
Hi. Sorry about that I didn't even see your edit, I was just reverting Cds6886. Thanks Arniep 20:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to apologise for being so rude to you — I wasn't going through a particularly great period a couple of weeks ago, and I was rude to pretty much everyone. I hope you don't take it personally, and please accept my assurances that I'll try to be the model of politeness in the future. Proteus (Talk) 19:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
You've a colorful User page :) I appriciate your comment on my talk page. Carlton recently begin editing on Scientology related pages. His first three edits were on discussion pages. He baits. Its not that he states a position, it is not that he introduces an information and cites a source. He baits. Its the first thing I noticed. I think generally what he uses language for is to build a sort fort around himself with words. Then grasps other people's words and throw them at other people's forts. "you said this, I hope it is a button word for you and I'm throwing it at you to see" .. that sort of thing. heh ! Have fun. Terryeo 20:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- Getting in bed with Scientologists -- always a good idea, right? Enjoy the company you want to keep. --Calton | Talk 23:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, and the eagerness with which you do so pretty much tells me all I need to about the level of intellectual honesty to be expected from you. Don't you have ANY standards, or is "winning" the only one? --Calton | Talk 00:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I've stated principles and pointed out your logical and rhetorical fallacies: you willingness to ignore them in favor of scoring points is your problem, not mine -- up the point where you try to enlist others in your passive-aggressive battles. The fact that you suddenly pop up on this guy's page to offer support is suspicious -- develop a sudden interest in Dianetics, have you? I seriously doubt that.
Like I say at the top of my talk page, it's clean-up duty, mopping up after the dishonest, incompetent, and fanatical: that you feel comfortable climbing into bed with those exhibiting two out of three is worth pointing out, and if you were genuinely not going to engage with me, then you wouldn't have bothered posting to his talk page or on mine -- unless you just have some pathological need to score points and get in the last word. Certainly it's hypocritical to gas on about my "personal abuse" and immediately follow up with your personal comment about myself and Japan. I might wonder, for example, how an Irish Australian knows bugger all about Italians and Sicilians in the United States other than stuff he may have picked up from his Little Golden Books -- but that would be wrong, wouldn't it?
But let's see if principle is actually at work: if it isn't really about personal pique, you'll:
- a) be contributing to the Dianetics book page
- b) not be suddenly popping up in areas where I just so happen to have an interest. Here's my watchlist: see if anything here overlaps, and speak up now, so your sudden appearance won't be a surprise: User:Calton/Article Watchlist. Otherwise, it might look like you're, you know, stalking me.
- c) not try to get in the last word on my talk page. Answer b) above, then go away.
Let's see how strong your allegiance to principle actually is. --Calton | Talk 01:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Reg Withers - PC or not PC?
Thanks for the info on why Reg Withers doesn't have a PC post nominal. In researching the original article I referred to a "Who's Who" which included the PC for Withers. One always likes to think that WW, of all Australian publications, would know their post nominals but there you are. --Roisterer 12:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I just read through the Astrology thread on the help desk and I wanted to commend you for sticking to your guns and keeping everyone on task.
I've found it very common for some others (especially some younger ones) to read what they're guessing you're gonna say instead of what you're actually saying. It's easy to get up and walk out, but then nobody learns, and some very well intentioned and intelligent contributors could save others some nasty headaches by learning to better follow an argument.
So, I just wanted to thank you for providing a little clinic in this. -LambaJan 08:09, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

did any one watch the movie hunt for the red ocotber
I saw it a long time ago, so my memory is very hazy (in case you were planning to ask me a question about it).
But can you tell me who you are and why you're asking me questions about the Sydney Opera House and this movie? JackofOz 12:42, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
i was not planing to ask you a question about it. and why do you want to know who am i that's a bit personal. anyway i was asking you abou the sidney opera house because i heard it is ver big and beautiful and i wish to visit is this summer also i just wanted to know that if you had seen the movie because i had just seen it.
- No offence was intended. It's not usual for people to direct their questions at individual Wikipedians. It's best to post your questions to the Wikipedia:Reference desk, where the services of thousands of us are available to you. I should have told you that earlier, so sorry for the confusion. Best of luck. JackofOz 23:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
thanks. now i wanted to ask your help again for a simple matter. this is a essay i wrote for my english class i was wonderning wehter you could check it.
The New Orleans Rebuilding Committee
Tragedy happens all around the world but only some times do people recover from it. The tragedy I am talking about is the hurricane Katrina destroying New Orleans. This tragedy bought the whole nation close together. The money, food and the rest of necessities were donated countrywide everybody in the USA made sacrifices. Schools all around the country started donation programs which donated more than a million dollars to help the homeless. Companies started donating things from canned goods to blankets. They whole nation helped. Hope was given to the survivors by millions of people all around the world. Everywhere around the world people sympathized with the survivors. My principal requested after the day of this horrible tragedy that "we should pay homage to those who died in this dreadful incident." My friends describe this event as a "event that saddened them deeply"and they and their relatives will give donations to those who need it. Few months after the tragedy the New Orleans' mayor organized a committee that was comprised of the residents of New Orleans. These residents want their neighborhood back and they are going to take a active part in the rebuilding which is admirable. Each of them share their dream with each other and then when all of them have come to a decision they will tell this decision on the how to? to the builders. I am impressed with the concern of the mayor who does not want the high companies to be involved. For the most part I think that the people of New Orleans will include something traditional to remind them of their past neighborhood. The government granted them around 29 billion dollars to start their reconstruction the plans that they make will be approved by the congress. I feel happy that everybody is taking part in bringing back the lost city of jazz. I feel that me and my friends will visit this lost city of jazz whenever it is rebuilt. With plans and dreams for their future neighborhood these people are ready to face any obstacles that come in the way. this committee will do its beautiful work…………………..by anonymous thanks
- Hi, anonymous. A part of me has no problem with checking your work, but a stronger part of me says this is not what Wikipedia is for. While it is an innocent and innocuous request in itself, it also undermines the purpose of Wikipedia. I don't want to be a party to that, so I must decline. I don't think you will have much success here with this type of request. The Wikipedia:Reference desk is available for legitimate reference enquiries, but even it cannot be used to help people with their homework. Maybe somebody you know who has a good knowledge of English could help you out with your homework. (By the way, at a quick glance, it seems well written). Best of luck.

I'm not a wanker!
Dude, I was just having some fun. I don't appreciate being called a wanker, and I see that your calling me that totally goes against the little banner that says you're a member of the Kindness Campaign! Kindness Campaign my butt! My friend's an admin, too, and he was watching and laughing the whole time I was doing those changes. They weren't meant for harm, just for a laugh. I mean, what did I do to you to deserve such a demeaning term being placed on me?188.8.131.52 06:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- For the benefit of anyone reading this, the above person vandalised Henry VIII of England, and I reverted him/her. In the edit summary I said "rv. some wanker".
- Hi dude. I guess fun means different things to different people. I don't quite get how you can be so indignant to me using this one little word, when you added far more than that to an article that hundreds of different people have spent a lot of time and energy over for a long time. We all like to have our fun, but Wikipedia is at its heart a serious business, and we really treasure what we collectively can produce. Fair enough, irritating distractions like yours only take a few seconds to undo, but that doesn't make it OK. They don't add any value. They just add frustration. And like it or not, they are vandalism. I encourage you to apply your creativity to more useful and positive pursuits. Such as shedding the cloak of anonymity, having the courage to give yourself a name, and editing any of the thousands of articles that can do with attention. You obviously know how to go about it. So what are you waiting for, just do it. JackofOz 09:08, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- This person has subsequently vandalised my user page.
- Hey...just came across your page...I had to comment! I totally agree with you...I mean lotta people dont understand the seriousness wikipedians put in to wikipedia....Maybe these people should know about Uncyclopedia, which is basically a spoof of wikipedia and meant for fun! Its really a sad thing that they say they were 'just having some fun'...-- Rohit 06:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- No problem! My pleasure...Keep the work going! -- Rohit 06:33, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I made a wordpress homepage. During the development the page was on url http://dev2.reklamfirman.com. Everything worked fine.
When I migrated the page to the correct url http://www.apricotstone.se I cant login in wordpress admin and the encoding is wrong.
When I migrated the page I transfered all the files through FTP. The database is the same. So no changes in wp-config.php. What could the problem be?

Hi there,
I am quite new to this plugin, so still trying to figure it out..
Although the plugin is not that complicated, I can't figure out where all my post/pages have gone.
The website had custom content type "portfolio_item" and for the sake of SEO I've changed that slug into "portfolio". and as it was warning, after that all urls stopped working
After I have just reconfigured Permalinks.. and all urls started working again "/portfolio/some-postname/"
However they don't show up on the home page :( and at no any other places..
Though I can access them just by typing url..
Is there something I forgot to change?
I would probably return all back, but it doesn't give me already. it says "The name portfolio_item has been registered by some other plugin."
And it shows now with red icon,
Screenshoot https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15137556/Screen%20Shot%202013-05-15%20at%2020.34.44.png
Please advice me how to fix that. I am a bit worrying I crewed up all website
Looking forward to hearing from you ASAP
Thank you in advance

I have a post on my website that gets a 404 error. If I set the permalinks to 'default' it shows up, but then most of my other pages and posts get a 404 error. I originally had the permalinks set to 'post title' but my hosting provider changed it to 'default' and changed the permalink to resolve the problem (only to create other errors). I've now changed my permalinks back to 'post title', but I still can't get this post to show up. The post that is having issues is http://logcabincooking.com/3088/ (it is the second most recent post on logcabincooking.com); when I go in to edit the post this is the permalink that appears. It shows up in my front page feed but not on its own page.
How can I fix this? Thank you in advance

Many recently developed control schemes for robotic manipulators require as inputs the desired position, velocity, and in some cases, acceleration of each joint of the manipulator. However, it is most natural to specify the desired trajectory of the end effector in Cartesian coordinates. Thus it is desirable to have a command generator which has as input a desired Cartesian trajectory, and as output a vector of joint positions, velocities, and accelerations that correspond to the demanded trajectory. Such a command generator is presented in the form of a nonlinear feedback system that has the advantage of being related to a linear system. The linear system can be used to compute precise bounds on the performance of the nonlinear system. Simulation results for a nonspherical wrist manipulator are given

Still feeling the effects of too much natural gas and not enough demand, energy companies are looking for creative maneuvers for keeping their businesses profitable. Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) is utilizing the technique of partaking in some good old fashioned deal negotiations to build up cash. The company had been on a selling spree late last year, shedding some pipeline and other infrastructure to raise about $2 billion, but it is Chesapeake's tenacity to continue making deals to raise cash that makes this company so attractive. I believe Chesapeake is going to soar in coming years based on its proactive approach to generating money, its future rewards from natural gas, and its constant hunt for new shale assets.
Trailing slightly behind Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Chesapeake is the largest U.S. producer of natural gas. Of course, we all know that natural gas hasn't budged much in regards to demand and its recent price dipped below the dreaded $2 mark. Even rival ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) has had to make adjustments through partnerships, spin-offs, and acquisitions. But this is where Chesapeake begins to shine. The company is raising cash, building up a source of funding for future expansion. In a statement made in early April, Chesapeake's CEO Aubrey K. McClendon, said, "We plan to monetize other non-strategic assets during 2012, including our assets in the East Texas Woodbine play where we own approximately 50,000 net acres of leasehold. We look forward to the completion of our Texoma Woodford transaction and other planned 2012 asset monetization transactions in the months ahead for proceeds of approximately $8-10 billion." The company is on track with its 25/25 plan, which intends to reduce its long-term debt through monetizing its assets and a reduction in lease-hold spending by 25%, while increasing its natural gas and oil production by the same percentage during 2012. The influx of cash will be used for more exploration and production primarily targeting Eagle Ford Shale, Utica Shale, Mississippi Lime, Granite Wash, Cleveland, Tonkawa, Niobrara, Bone Spring, Avalon, Wolfcamp and Wolfberry.
In the most recent of deals, Chesapeake hit a trifecta with deals totaling $2.6 billion. The company gained $1.25 billion from selling preferred shares of a new subsidiary, CHK Cleveland Tonkawa, which owns unconventional liquids-rich assets in Oklahoma. It also closed a sale of a 10-year volumetric production payment for proceeds of approximately $745 million, or $4.68 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent to an affiliate of Morgan Stanley. That deal also includes certain producing assets in its Anadarko Basin Granite Wash play and current net production of an estimated 125 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day and approximately 160 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent of proved reserves. The last piece of the trio included the company signing a purchase and sale agreement to XTO Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corp., for about $590 million in cash for about 58,400 net acres of leasehold in the Texoma Woodford play in Bryan, Carter, Johnston and Marshall Counties.
But the sell, sell, sell, makes up just one aspect of the makeup of Chesapeake. The company has continued to hunt for new shale assets as well, hoping to maintain its status as one of the nation's top producers of natural gas. Since 2008, Chesapeake has drilled at least 367 wells in regions that include the Permian Basin. At the beginning of 2012, McClendon stated that the company has stepped up plans to produce more oil and natural gas liquids while cutting dry-gas output and that some 60% of its revenue would come from oil and NGLs in 2012, up from roughly 50% anticipated by the company just a month earlier. The company plans to invest heavily for the development of its holdings in Eagle Ford Shale, Granite Wash and Mississippi Lime, forecasting it will deliver an average output of 250,000 barrels per day, up 70% from 2011 figures. The company wants to spend $7.5 billion for drilling for oil in hopes to be among the top five producers by 2015. Total 2012 production for Chesapeake is expected to be in the range of 1,318 1,382 Bcfe, particularly in Haynesville and Marcellus Shale plays. Liquids production forecast for 2012 is 53 MMBbls to 57 MMBbls, and the company expects its natural gas production in the bands of 1,000 1,400 Bcf for 2012.
Because of the increase in the cost of goods sold as a percent of sales from 49.22% to 57.02%, year on year, Chesapeake had little change in net income, from $1.77 billion to $1.74 billion, but revenue grew 24.23% from $9.37 billion to $11.64 billion. The company reported sharper-than-expected adjusted third-quarter 2011 earnings of $0.72 per share. Chesapeake's dividend is an unusual trend for an oil and gas company. Year on year, growth in dividends per share increased 12.50% while earnings per share excluding extraordinary items fell by 7.81%.
At the end of the fourth quarter, 2011, Chesapeake had a cash balance of $111 million and debt balance stood at $11,789 million, representing a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 41.9%, versus 39.4% in the preceding quarter. Operating cash flow increased 14.2% year over year to $1,409 million. During 2011, the company increased its cash reserves by 244.12%, or $249.00 million. It earned $5.90 billion from its operations for a cash flow margin of 50.73%, and the company generated $158.00 million cash from financing while $5.81 billion was spent on investing
Chesapeake's projections are based on $100 per barrel of oil and $4/mmBtu natural gas (a huge projection based on current prices), unhedged oil and gas revenue of $6.76 billion in 2012, and rising to $9.06 billion in 2013. Operating cash flow is expected to increase almost 60% over the same period assuming an increase of only $1 in natural gas prices. The company is probably the industry's most active player in managing its asset portfolio through a combination of acquisitions and disposals. With natural gas accounting for over 87% of its production, the company is sure to profit handsomely when prices come back around.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Last fall, we learned that artisanal ice cubes were an actual thing. Bars charge $1 extra for them, and they supposedly melt more slowly, leading to a less watery beverage experience and bragging rights. They cost about $1 per giant cube, and here's the weird part: they ship unfrozen. [More]
Entrepreneur Wants To Sell Un-Frozen Artisanal Ice Cubes
Is Ordering Drinks Without Ice Just A Scam To Get More Delicious Beverage?
I like to order my cold drinks (especially soda) without ice, because–shocking revelation–I don't really like ice. I didn't realize that all of these years, I've been running a massive scam on the eateries of America, weaseling extra beverages out of them with my innocent request. That's what a barista at a Borders store accused JD of doing when he ordered an iced chai with no ice. She gave JD what he describes as "half a cup of lukewarm chai" (pictured). New Borders policy, or was she a vigilante anti-ice crusader? [More]

When skimming through a long mathematical paper (in pdf format), I often find a mathematical symbol (often in greek and with subscripts/superscripts) that was defined previously somewhere else within the paper. Of course, it's not always easy to find where the parameter was defined, so I resort to using the FIND tool. However, simply copy and pasting the symbol to the FIND tool doesn't seem to work well, since the symbol cannot be copied exactly.
Is there a better way to perform an automated search a PDF document for a particular mathematical symbol if I don't have the original latex file? Especially ones with subscripts and superscripts?

Melbourne is a city of culture, music and fine dining. Situated along Port Phillip Bay, Australia's southern gem is a favorite for world travelers who come in search of the distinctive cultural offerings of the South Pacific that extend beyond surfing and other water sports found along its shores. A city that clings tightly to its rich night life as much as its daytime appeal, Melbourne is sure to delight all the senses on a weekend with your loved one.
The Center of the City
A bustling city that rarely sleeps, Melbourne's central business district is full of hotel options that not only specialize in romantic getaways, but are conveniently located to metro access and a wide range of entertainment. Stay in the Southbank district nestled against the Yarra River for some of the best views of the city, particularly at night. The InterContinential, The Langham, and Crown Towers all offer romance packages for any budget, ranging from perks such as champagne service to breakfast in bed.
Viewing at Ground Level
A four-time winner of the National Tourism Award for its dining experience, The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant is a favorite of locals and tourists alike. Tour options include three- to five-course meals offered during the day and well into the late night while the tram navigates the city's central business district, passing some of Melbourne's best -- the Crown Casino, Exhibition Centre and Melbourne Aquarium, to name a few. If the water is more your style, step into a luxury Venetian gondola and sip champagne while the gondolier polnts out such notable sights as the Flinders Street Station and Alexandra Gardens.
Art and Culture Collide
Spend an afternoon in the National Gallery of Victoria, admiring original works by such artists as Rembrandt, Monet and Jan Van Eyck. Visit the Heide Museum of Modern Art where mediums include everything from canvas to human hair. Take in a show at the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, which regularly features both jazz and symphonic music.
For the Outdoors Lovers
Take advantage of Melbourne's ocean climate with a leisurely stroll through the Royal Botanic Gardens. Wander hand in hand and take in the vibrant reds and purples of native specialties, such as Dragon's Blood and Candy Canes. Try a punt cruise along Ornamental Lake, for a water view. Get away from it all with a trip to Skyhigh, the highest point in the Dandenong Ranges. Located 45 minutes from the heart of the city, look down on Melbourne. Wander through the Secret Garden, pick cherries, blackberries and raspberries in season in one of the handful of U-pick fields, and cap the day off with dinner at the Skyhigh restaurant.

I created some SVG drawings using Inkscape on my Ubuntu. I now want to edit the SVGs using Inkscape running on Windows 7.
The problem: the drawings has text formatted with
Courier 10 Pitch font which is missing from my Windows system. Hence, the text is formatted using another font, which messes everything up.
How can I get this font for Windows?
Or perhaps I can make Inkscape embed the font in the SVG from Ubuntu?

A man's bloody face is not the first thing you want to see on an adult DVD. But that's how David Stanley starts off this charming fable, told in flashback, about two people who love each other but can't connect.
Chris Cannon is best friends with Jenna Haze. She proposes: "If we don't find anybody better by our next birthday, we just marry each other." But he's more committed to "booze, hookers and doms."
He fantasizes about making love to her – the best sex scene – but she marries someone else. There's a happy ending with a twist. Excellent performances by both leads.
Pre-noms: Best Actress, Video: Jenna Haze. Best Actor, Video: Chris Cannon. Best Screenplay: David Stanley.

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend when we were in town for the Race for Hope DC. We booked this room through a discount site and got it for far less than the average rate, so we weren't expecting a lot. We were quite surprised to find this little gem when we arrived! We were upgraded to a one bedroom apartment suite for free and it had a full kitchen and dining area. It even had a dishwasher and detergent tablets! The staff was very friendly and helped us navigate the area, providing us with metro schedules and a shuttle to the nearest terminal. We were also given maps of the local attractions (Old Town and such).
There were only two things I was a little unhappy about. First, breakfast is supposed to be included in the rate. However, they don't begin serving it until 7am. That is fairly late if you're there on business, which we were because we are race day volunteers with 6am assignments! We were instructed on their website that we could get a bagged meal to go and that was false. We asked and were told they offered no such thing. Problem is, there is absolutely nothing open for breakfast in that neighborhood at 5am either. They need to come up with a solution for travelers who need breakfast earlier! My second grievance is the parking issue. It was $18 a day to park in the hotel garage. I realize this is a problem everywhere in the DC area, but it's still absurd. These two issues are the only reason I didn't give this establishment all 5's. Overall, it was great. I would stay there again for the same price but if I had to pay their standard rate, perhaps not...

In 2011, seven-term Democratic Congressman Anthony D. Weiner's underwear selfies, emblems of a sex farce not intended for wide release, accidentally went viral. There went a bright political future. And then a reprieve: Improbably, once the Weiner scandal became yesterday's whoopsie-daisy, the man got his second act, an initially promising run at the New York City mayoral race.
The impish train-wreck documentary "Weiner" focuses on the ins, outs and lessons of that 2013 race and of the further sexting revelations that dog him still. "I did the things," Weiner says of his compulsive sexual behavior. "But I did a lot of other things too."

Try a fresh approach and rethinking the task instead.

First came heartbreak, then a second chance at love. Next up for country superstar Shania Twain? Her own TV series.
Twain, 44, will star on Why Not? With Shania Twain, an hour-long series premiering on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. "The show will follow [Twain] as she begins her climb back to the top, a personal journey filled with risk, revelations and unexpected adventures," says a statement from the network.
This won't be Twain's first foray in front of the camera since her marriage to Robert "Mutt" Lange fell apart in May 2008 over his relationship with her then-friend – and employee – Marie-Anne Thiébaud.
The country singer has posted several personal videos on her Web site in recent months, chronicling her world travels, fun times with her son Eja, 8, and her blossoming romance with her boyfriend Frédéric, who is Thiébaud's ex-husband.
In February, Twain, who has recently been spotted in New York, posted a video – shot in Canada by Thiébaud – in which she visits a radio station, jokes about her junk-food cravings and the effect of the cold weather on her skin, and banters with her Swiss-born beau, whose French-inflected voice can be heard throughout.
Last August, she posted a video travelogue documenting a skydiving trip in Florida, a camel-riding adventure in Egypt and a bike ride through a London park with Thiébaud, whom in an accompanying letter she called her "most constant companion."An air date for Why Not? With Shania Twain has yet to be announced.

Just a simple question. Say I have a bunch of *.txt files on a server somewhere and I'm using the standard
scp command to download *.txt to my computer. However, say one of the files, call it "bad.txt" is extremely large and happens to be a file I don't need for this specific occasion.
Downloading this file would slow down everything else, so I'd like to not download this file. Is it possible to somehow skip the file from being downloaded as all of the *.txt files are being downloaded? I hope I'm phrasing this question properly.

Over the last 12 months, I've been doing a lot of incubation work in the Cloud Computing space throughout the Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry. The results from these early efforts have been interesting…and are relevant to any Healthcare or Life Sciences organization interested in using the cloud for business application purposes. To get the word out on these efforts, I'm sponsored a series on local Cloud Computing info exchange events. On June 8th, I held a Life Sciences Cloud Computing event @ the Hilton in Iselin, NJ. Close to 50 people from the Life Sciences Industry attended the event…although the event did include a Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform Overview, the bulk of the presentations/demonstration were dedicated to "real world" solutions examples…that I believe will manifest themselves as solution patterns that apply broadly across the entire Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry. The following solutions patterns were showcased at the event;
For more information on the content from the event, please visit the Microsoft Pharmaceutical Deployment User Group website: http://MSPDUG.spaces.live.com
So let's talk about this HPC in a cloud for Life Sciences thing…
"HPC in the Cloud": High Performance Computing (HPC) is definitely core requirement for the Life Sciences industry…they have lot's of long running Scientific applications that require on-demand compute resources. Currently, these applications are run on dedicated hardware or on-premise managed Grid facilities. The current approach is suboptimal from a cost, scale, performance, and overall processing/results turnaround time perspective.On average, it takes several hours for many of these applications to run…in many cases they fail to complete due to memory and/or CPU availability. As a rule of thumb, It takes10 years and $1 billion to bring a drug to market…finding ways to shorten research & development timeframes can add hundreds of millions to a drugs overall revenue stream. Everyone is looking to cloud computing as a better way to HPC from a cost, scale, performance, and availability perspective.
We just completed a 30 day Windows Azure HPC PoC with JNJ's R&D IT organization. For the PoC, we selected a typical Scientific Computation application…2D Molecular structure inputs, algorithmic calculations, 3D Visual output. Intent was to move the existing application .exe into Windows Azure to test cost, availability, scale, and performance.
JNJ representatives presented results from the PoC @ the June 8th Life Sciences Cloud Computing event. Results from the PoC were very positive. They saw a 100X reduction in end to end processing time for a typical request. Cost, although not quantifiable at this stage, will certainly be appreciably less than dedicated resource alternative. I want to err a word of caution…this is a capabilities validation exercise…although initial results are very promising…we still have some work to do before I would consider this to be a turnkey cloud capability. Nevertheless, there is no denying that this is a killer solutions pattern for cloud computing…stay tuned for info on the subject.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Superwhore Tyla Wynn has done 350 anal scenes, many with internal pops, but this is the first time she?s ever done pussy cream pies, and also her first time with five guys. Cream fans will not be disappointed! She squirts and pees, too.
The cream pies aren?t very good in cover cutie Laurie Vargas? scene, but the girl?s oral skills are off the charts ? deep throat, tea bagging and rim jobs, what more could you ask for? The fact that this pretty young Latina was an aspiring nun only adds to the fun. Trista Tanner?s scene is a winner, too.
Pre-nom for Best Specialty Series ? Internal Pops.
Retailing: Wynn? first cream pie scene alone makes this a standout.

Hi there,
I was looking to do a site using WordPress as it would be a lot easier than updating content manually.
Basically what i will have is outlined in a mock up below, it's almost like a shop but will simply be used to display rather than have any shop functionality; for now anyway.
Is there an easier, neater, more organised way of doing this instead of simply creating page after page for each category and sub category and also product, as the number of pages in the list will end up being huge.
Just wanted to see if there was perhaps a simple way of adding all these? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
Please see below image.

Released: Feb 01st, 2007
Running Time: 115
Director: Diana DeVoe
Company: Exquisite Multimedia
Cast: Kyanna Lee, Cuntre Pipes, Eva Angelina, Kea Kulani, Avena Lee, Tyler Knight, Deep Threat, Keymore Cash
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Sometimes, it's honestly hard to tell whether someone is Latin or Asian. However, let's get one thing straight right now: Eva Angelina (who happens to be the titles best and most popular starlet) is Latin. Latin, Latin, Latin! Otherwise, Diana DeVoe expertly extends her black flavored direction to deal with the East.
Eva ("EH-vuh," not "AY-vuh") fucks Tyler Knight to kick things off. The pairing is appropriate, because - according to Ms. Angelina - she "lost (her) virginity to a black boy" a long time ago. Standard pussy fucking and ass fingering yield to an open-mouthed popshot, though much of the lead-up is obstructed by Tyler's muscled thighs as he buries himself deeply as possible into pink poon.
Kyanna Lee's the Asian highlight, and Avena lets Tyler finish what he started.
But for all that, it's a little whack how the best performance is cursed by a case of mistaken ethnicity.
Retailing: Sell Eva off as the Orient Express.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The basketball trilogy between Kansas and Ohio State has taken on a green-eggs-and-ham type of theme in the past 13 months.The Jayhawks can beat the Buckeyes in Lawrence, Kan., as they showed in December 2011.They can beat them in New Orleans in the Final Four, as evident last March.And the Jayhawks can beat Ohio State in Columbus, as they did Saturday in a showdown of top 10 teams.Much appeared familiar besides the outcome in the latest meeting. Kansas started four seniors in its 74-66 victory and played the type of stout defense that has been a staple of Bill Self's 10 seasons as the Jayhawks' coach.However, the new wrinkle to this Kansas team provided fresh evidence yesterday as to why it's not far-fetched to think the No. 9 Jayhawks (10-1) can return to the national championship game for a second consecutive season.His name is Ben McLemore, and rumblings about the redshirt freshman's smooth game has been building from out on the prairie since he crashed the veteran Kansas lineup in game one.Already known to basketball junkies, McLemore is now a secret no more to rest of the college hoops world after dropping 22 points on the Buckeyes in Saturday's win to lead the Jayhawks to their ninth consecutive win."I've never had anybody like this guy," said Self.Self had him last season, but the 6-foot-5 guard from St. Louis had to redshirt after being deemed a partial academic qualifier by the NCAA in October. McLemore was allowed to practice during the second semester, but had to sit in the stands during the Final Four as Kansas beat Ohio State 64-62.McLemore wasn't a spectator yesterday; he was spectacular. "He makes plays you can't coach," Self said.While the No. 7 Buckeyes (9-2) clanged shot after shot, McLemore showed a well-rounded offensive game that belied his inexperience. The 6-foot-5 leaper threw down an alley-oop dunk off an inbounds play, aggressively attacked from the wings with strength and quickness and showed a deft three-point touch from the perimeter in making three of six three-pointers."Ben can impact the game," Self said. "Ben is a shooter and a scorer. He's fun to coach because you can tinker around and draw up a bunch of plays that you can't for anybody else, and he'll jump up and make a play."Ohio State coach Thad Matta doesn't have such a bailout luxury. He has an NBA-type scorer in Deshaun Thomas, but beyond that junior wingman, none of the other Buckeyes are a huge scoring threat.The lack of consistent offense showed in Ohio State's 73-68 loss at Duke on Nov. 28, and Kansas exploited it during a second half Saturday when the Buckeyes shot 25 percent from the field after trailing 37-35 at the break.Ohio State went 10 minutes between field goals in the second half as its five-game winning streak evaporated. Afterward Matta was reduced to saying he asked Santa to improve his team's jump shooting, although his team's 31-percent shooting for the game is nothing new against Kansas. In Self's previous nine years at Kansas, the Jayhawks have ranked in the top 10 nationally in defensive field goal percentage eight times. They entered yesterday's game holding opponents to 35.1 percent shooting this season, including 31 percent from three-point range.Besides Self's usual tough man-to-man defense, anchored by the nation's top shot-blocker in 7-footer Jeff Withey, the Jayhawks also have a moxie-laden group of grinders. Their experience showed yesterday when Ohio State led 31-23 with six minutes left in the first half and a roaring crowd of 19,049 threatened to blow the roof off Value City Arena."We have a good group of veterans that has been in tough situations before," Withey said. "We just bounced back. We just had to breathe a little bit."McLemore had to take a deep breath a year ago when the NCAA declared him ineligible to play in his first season."He was sad, but he was alright," Self said. "He was like, 'I'll be OK.' He wanted to prove to everybody that he could do the job academically. That was his focus."Instead of pouting, McLemore posted a grade-point average just short of 3.0 his first semester, then made the Big 12 honor roll in a second semester with a GPA above 3.0."It was a blessing to sit out last year," McLemore said. "I was able to practice in the second semester and learn from the seniors. I was in the gym working on my offense and defense."Surrounded by four senior starters, McLemore tried to just fit in at the season's start. He took just seven shots, while scoring 14 points, in a 67-64 loss to Michigan State in Atlanta on Nov. 13."We want him to drive it, drive it, drive it," Self said.McLemore has been taking taking that advice to heart of late. Prior to yesterday, he had averaged 19 points in his previous four games. He took 17 shots and made eight against the Buckeyes."I'm showing everybody I'm more aggressive," McLemore said.His aggressiveness was never too wild yesterday, and his shooting touch from the outside continued to impress. McLemore has made 14 of 24 three-pointers in the past five games. And on defense, he held Ohio State's Lenzelle Smith Jr. to six points on three of 13 shooting."It was a great experience," McLemore said. "I was kind of nervous in the first half. But once I got up and down the court, all my nerves went away."Kansas fans already knew they had a precocious freshman in McLemore. He's already scored more than 20 points in a game four times. He's on pace to set the school's freshman average scoring record of 14.6, set by Danny Manning in 1985.After his performance yesterday, the nation also knows that the Jayhawks have something special in McLemore. Just ask the Ohio State Buckeyes, who are well-versed in all things Kansas. Todd Jones is a senior reporter for The Columbus Dispatch. More College Basketball

Berlin is asked to pay for water system work
BERLIN Town officials are being asked to make a contractual commitment for the final design of a municipal water system that may never be built.
A week after a sliver of the towns 1,917 registered voters narrowly approved a bond issue to build a water system to serve the Berlin Four Corners area, the engineer who has been working on the project since 2007 said he needs more than a nod and a handshake to take it to the next level.
Mark Youngstrom of Otter Creek Engineering told the towns water supply committee Wednesday that he is eager for the Select Board to approve an amendment to an earlier contract so he can recoup more than $42,000 for work he has already performed in good faith and begin the final design of the system.
According to Youngstrom, the agreement he provided the town months ago includes roughly $20,000 for helping with preparations for last weeks bond vote and lining up financing, as well as $52,500 for fieldwork and $150,000 for the final design.
However, committee member Gary Beem said he believed Youngstroms request was premature, and not just because the 30-day window for petitioning to revote the bond issue wont close until March 15. The bond was approved 122-108.
Of greater concern to Beem is that a household income survey, which will help determine whether the $5.5 million project is financially viable, is still weeks away from being completed.
I dont think we have a project yet, and youre putting the Select Board and the town out there, he told Youngstrom, suggesting the risk was unwarranted.
According to Beem, the income survey, which was recently mailed to residents who live in the area that would be served by the water system, will determine whether the project is eligible for favorable financing and dictate what the town will need to charge for water.
I really think the income survey is the key to this project, he said.
The data collection phase for the survey is scheduled to conclude March 4, and the committee was told the results should be in hand in about a month.
However, Youngstrom said his firm has carried the project to this point. At a minimum, he said, he needs to be paid for the work he has already performed, but would like to get going on the design right now.
Although Youngstrom acknowledged the importance of the income survey, he said it wasnt the only thing that could trip up plans for a municipal water system.
There are all kinds of things that can stop this project dead in the water, he said. Its an act of faith to move ahead, and one act of faith is starting the design while youre working on all these other things too.
Ultimately the Select Board must decide how to handle Youngstroms request. The plan has been to roll all preconstruction costs including the now-completed drilling, testing and acquisition of three wells on Scott Hill Road into the cost of the project, to be paid for by future ratepayers.
However, if the water system is never built and town officials have said it wont be if available financing doesnt allow them to deliver water to users at an affordable rate taxpayers at large will be on the hook for any money that has or will be spent on planning and design.
