Dunwoody, John Ernest (2007) Spatial analysis of woody vegetation land cover change in Crows Nest Shire, QLD. [USQ Project] (Unpublished)
Dunwoody_2007.pdf Download (39Mb) |
[Abstract]: Landsat 5 imagery for 1991, 1997 and 2005 was used to prepare a supervised classification of six land cover classes for Crows Nest Shire, Queensland Australia using ERDAS Imagine 9.1 software. The results exhibited good Overall Classification Accuracy. A Combinatorial AND operation using ArcGIS Spatial Analysis Tools was used to compute the temporal interaction matrices for the six land cover classes for the two time periods. The results showed considerable exchange of land use between all classes from 1991 to 1997 however, the net amounts of Woody Natural Vegetation and Non-woody Natural Vegetation remained approximately the same in 1997 as they were in 1991. The area under water, and Cropland and Built-up areas increased from 1991 to 1997. The area under Plantations remained effectively constant. From 1997 to 2005 the Woody Natural Vegetation area increased by 13% and the Non-woody Natural Vegetation decreased by 15%. The Plantation area remained steady, while the area under Cropland and Water Bodies decreased. The Builtup area continued to increase. The effect of the increase in Woody Natural land cover on Vegetation Management Classes and Ecosystem biodiversity was further investigated using Queensland Herbarium Regional Ecosystem data for 2003. It was found that the increase in Woody Natural vegetation was likely to be due to an increase in woody weed species rather than enlargement or densification of remnant Woody Natural Vegetation. It was also found to be accompanied by a decrease in Endangered remnant ecosystems and an increase in the area of Of Concern and Not Of Concern remnant ecosystems. These findings have important implications for future land management in Crows Nest Shire. Further research is recommended to confirm these preliminary results and to explore the spatial attributes of this change.

Here is what you get when you give your Hyundai Elantra to the tuners at DC Design. They have previously worked with the Nissan Sunny and Renault Duster, but now have this black and red Hyundai to showcase. It received matte black paint on the exterior along with red accents seen throughout the project. New aftermarket parts include the custom front grille with air vents and additional intakes with honeycomb mesh for a sportier feel.
California-based tuning company Bisimoto Engineering has prepared quite a package for the 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT that will be on display at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. They have hooked it up with forged Arias pistons, Turbonetics turbocharger, AEM water-methanol injection and Bisimoto injectors and Bisimoto connecting rods to boost the tiny 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. It is said to increase the output from the factory 148 HP to over 600 horsepower with these aftermarket parts.
Check out this Hyundai Genesis Coupe that has been customized by a Hyundai dealership in Germany along with the help of Schmidt Revolution. Performance upgrades consist of the new exhaust system, sport catalyst and a KW sport suspension. An extra tweak are the two-piece wheels from Schmidt measuring 20-inches and wrapped in Falken high performance tires to give it a sportier look.
In addition to the ARK Performance Hyundai Veloster Turbo on display at the SEMA show this year will be a South Korean version of the sporty hatchback. This particular Veloster is being tuned up by the digital media distribution company PM Lifestyle. What's unique is that they are having a team of students from the popular car school Universal Technical Institue (UTI) work on this project.
Here is an all new tuning package released for the upcoming Hyundai Veloster sports car. It is said to be fitted with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine producing 208 horsepower. This should be good for a 0 to 62 mph acceleration time under 7 seconds, and it is expected to go on sale in Europe early in 2012. However it is still not yet confirmed that the same powerplant and performance numbers will be available in the North American version of the Hyundai Veloster.

Schmeelk: Tyson Chandler Right Move At Right Time For Knicks
Everyone around the NBA is obsessed with copying Miami with the three superstar model, but the fact of the matter is that formula hasn't proven to win anything. Instead, the Knicks found someone to fit their greatest need.
Knicks Acquire Chandler, Send Turiaf To The Wizards
The New York Knicks have acquired Tyson Chandler from the Dallas Mavericks and sent Ronny Turiaf to the Washington Wizards in a three-team trade.
Knicks' Ronny Turiaf Close To Joining French Club Asvel
It appears Ronny Turiaf is about to follow Deron Williams' lead and play overseas.
Schmeelk: New York Knicks / Boston Celtics Preview
If the Knicks want to win this series they need to play their A game offensively, and be decent on defense.
Schmeelk: Chauncey Billups Is The Key For Knicks
Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire have to play well, but their jobs are made so much easier by a point guard that can set them up. Billups is the lynchpin that holds it all together and it should be no surprise.
Schmeelk: Knicks Are Lost
You might as well plop down Mike D'Antoni and the rest of the Knicks down on the island with Jack, Sawyer, Hurley, Ben, Locke and the rest of the crew. They are LOST.
Donnie Walsh: Struggling Knicks 'Missing Pieces'
Knicks president Donnie Walsh admitted to the NY Post on Sunday that he "didn't expect" to see his team falter with Carmelo Anthony. So what do the Knicks need?
Highlightin' Hoops: It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's Dwight Howard
We all know the big names that played Superman, an icon that is synonymous with superhuman qualities. But did any of them possess the real-life attributes seen by Dwight Howard night in and night out?
Schmeelk's Stance: More On Melo
I have some breaking news. Donnie Walsh is heading on vacation for the next seven days, and he's leaving me in charge. Please, hold the celebrations to a minimum.
Knicks Get Career Night From Mozgov, Beat Pistons
Timofey Mozgov had season highs of 23 points and 14 rebounds in his first appearance since Jan. 9, and the Knicks beat the Pistons 124-106 on Sunday night.
Gallinari Back, Turiaf Out For Knicks
Danilo Gallinari is back in the starting lineup Monday for the Knicks, who are without injured big man Ronny Turiaf.
Road-Warrior Knicks Take Down Blazers, 100-86
For one night, it was the New York Knicks' defense that stood out. Amar'e Stoudemir'e had 23 points and eight rebounds, Raymond Felton added 17 points and 14 assists, and New York beat the Portland Trail Blazers 100-86 on Tuesday.
Schmeelk's Stance: Time To Step Up
Perhaps the one glaring weakness of this Knicks roster has been a lack of depth. That deficiency has been hidden fairly well with the starters playing well and Mike D'Antoni holding the rotation to eight for most of the season.
Keidel: Knicks Fix
Whenever you abandoned the Knicks, it may be time to return, to emerge from your cave and wipe the crust from your heavily blinking eyes. There may again be a basketball team in New York City.
Schmeelk's Stance: Knicks' Winning Ways
Whenever the Knicks won a game in the last ten years it was a bit of a surprise. Now, a loss to a bad team would really be a disappointment.

Backslash Escapes
Hi all,
Whenever I take any input (raw_input, of course!) or I read from a file, etc., any backslashes get escaped automatically. Is there any elegant way of parsing the backslashes as though they were written in a python string. The best I have so far right now goes like this: def parse_backslash_escapes(input_string): parts = input_string.split("'''") # That's ' " " " ' without the spaces '"""'.join(eval + p + '"""') for p in parts) I'm not entirely convinced that it's safe on two accounts. + Is that eval statement safe? The input could be coming from an unfriendly source. + Are there any obscure backslash escapes or other tricks I should be aware of? I guess the alternative is to make a dictionary of all the escapes I want to support, but that sounds tedious and error-prone. Thanks, Felipe |

We especially welcome information where you see this symbol.
The Strongman nickname was appropriate for this Northern hardnut who resembled the Mighty Atom.
Smaller than he appeared on television the biceps bulged and Dennison was always willing to use his strength to overcome opponents.
After turning professional in 1958 Alan soon became a familiar face to the television fans. A one strap leotard and wristbands were the trademark of his ring attire.
For many years he was one of the great bad men of the ring, but like so many the character mellowed in later years, sometimes to the point of becoming sweetily sickening.
He could change his style to suit the occasion but always gave value for money. In the 1960s The Dennisons team of Alan and Syd Cooper antagonised fans, especially when matched against the blue-eyed teams like the Royal Brothers and the White Eagles.
When Cooper moved South it could have been the end, but his place was admirably taken by Hooker Ted Heath, the perfect replacement.
A gentle and kind man Alan's place in the nation's heart was demonstrated when his untimely death was announced on the national television news.
Alan Dennison died following a match at Southport on 27th June, 1984.

A name known to every fan of television wrestling as one half of Relwyskow and Green Promotions.
Before turning his hand to wrestling promoting George was an outstanding wrestler in a short lived 1930s career. Mind you, it was in his blood because his father, George F.W. De Relwyskow Snr, was one of wrestling's all time greats. We thank Ron History for supplying the photo of George on the offensive against Battling Hurst at the Caird Hall, Dundee.
Naturally dad had a big influence on young Gerge, as did the former rugby player and all-in wrestler, Douglas Clarke. Having turned professional at twenty George gained a few years experience before defeating Rashid Anwar to take the British Empire lightweight title.
An injury whilst serving during the second world war brought his wrestling career to an early end. For wrestling fans that may have been for the best because following the war George and brother Doug (later a referee) turned their attention to car rallying and then to wrestling promoting.
It is for his contribution to wrestling as a pomoter, in which he formed a business partnership with Arthur Green, that George de Relwyskow is most often remembered.

A stocky masked heavyweight of the early 1970s, and a regular of Wryton Promotions bills, who made little impact on the national scene. We understand that underneath the mask was accomplished heavyweight wrestler Jack Fallon of Wigan. His style was unexciting, though, and the masked Destroyer failed to rival contemporaries such as The Outlaw or Kendo Nagasaki. Billy Stock, amongst a multitude of others, donned the mask and adopted the name on the independent circuit.
Effervescent and irrepressible, that was the bundle of energy known as Jimmy "Boy" Devlin, a highly regarded wrestler well known to fans in the north and midlands during the 1960s and 70s.
Jimmy was from Stckton on Tees, a hotbed of wrestling that produced not only the Boy but Les Prest, Sean McNeill, Harry Rose, TommyStones, Dicky Swales, Jim Stockdale, Ray and Milton Clarke, and many others.
Even amongst a troupe like this Boy Devlin stood out above the crowd. Those who faced him in the ring have told us that he was a fast and skilful wrestler, but a bit of a nightmare to work with because he was just so energetic.
Wrestling was the only sport that interested Jimmy and one night in 1959 when he was a spectator at the Stockton Corporation Hall he got talking to Jim Stockdale, a legendary figure amongst the north eastern wrestling fraternity. Jim invited the youngster along to his gym, and that was Boy's inauguration into the world of wrestling. Jim Stockdale had a reputation as a strong disciplinarian, and Jim's rules had an immediate and long lasting impact on young Jimmy, with smoking and alcoholic drinking no longer allowed a place in his life.
Little more than a year later Jimmy made his professional debut at Stillington, and being paid the princely sum of a half crown Jim Stockdale impressed on the youngster that he must make sure he gave the crowd their money's worth. That he did, and Jimmy was soon receiving regular bookings against the likes of Earl McCready, Zoltan Boscik, Johnny Saint, Pedro the Gypsy and Butcher Goodman. Jimmy established himself as a popular figure on the independent circuit, working regularly for Don Robinson, Paul Lincoln, Cyril Knowles and other opposition promoters. Family and full time work commitments prevented him from taking up the offers to work for Joint Promotions because he knew that would require travelling further from home, which he didn't want to do. Most of Jimmy's bookings were in the north and midlands, with routine bookings as far as Lincolnshire, though he did work further south on occasions and toured Finland for three weeks, making sure he phoned his wife, Valerie every night. "I was very popular in Barnsley," joked Jimmy, "because I would take the lads a crate of Newcastle Brown"
The Belgian near heavyweight made a four week visit to Britain in January 1973, part of a Continental team brought over to mark Britain's entry to the European Community, or Common Market as we called it in those simple times.
During his tour of (mainly) southern rings it was quite a busy month with Frank meeting a surprisingly wide range of opponents from Kevin Conneally to Steve Veidor.
On television he faced Paul Mitchell (read all about it in Armchair Corner's Wrestling Leads The Way) and Mick Mcmanus. At the Royal Albert Hall he was disposed of by Adrian Street.

Mysterious French tag team that appeared on Joint Promotions bills in the early seventies.Les Diables Rouges
In their full-length red outfits and cloaks it was very hard for fans to gain any inkling as to their identities and they were well weighted at light-heavyweight to take on the best teams from lighter and heavier ranks.
Later anglicised their names to The Red Devils.
Top Masked Wrestlers' identities are revealed only in the Wrestling Heritage countdown "Top 20 Masked Men".
We offer two Paul Diamonds in our A-Z. The original was Canadian Paul Lehman who was born in Toronto in 1935. He came to Britain in his twenties and made his professional debut for Dale Martin promotions in 1960.
Paul returned home shortly afterwards and went on to wrestle the big names that British fans read about in those American magazines of the 1960s newsstands: Don Leo Jonathan, Lou Thesz, Giant Baba and the like.
Paul Diamond
A teenager by the name of Paul Fairbrother was another to receive the magic, certainly not gentle, touch of Jack Taylor in his Leicestershire gym. Paul adopted the family wrestling name when Jack gave him his professional debut in the 1970s, a tag match partnering his wrestling brother, who was actually his cousin, Bob Diamond. Paul was seventeen at the time, an energetic lightweight who worked the independent circuit for the following couple of years both in single combat and in tag partnership as one half of the Diamond brothers against the likes of the Borg Twins and the Undertakers.
As he gained experience opposition became more formidable with opponents including experienced campaigners that included Bob Kirkwood and Tug Holton. When he was nineteen years old Paul moved to London and joined Joint Promotions, his first Dale Martin bout facing Sid Cooper. Other opponents included Johnny "Muscles" England and Tony "Banger" Walsh, with the most thrilling moment of his career being the occasion he partnered Bert Royal in a tag contest.
Less thrilling, but equally memorable, was the loss of a tooth in a contest with Peter Kaye; it gives problems to this day!
Standing well over six feet tall meant that Ray Diamond was a man not easily messed with in either the classroom or the wrestling ring. At Ferryhill Grammar School he was PE teacher Mr (Ian) Glasper but once in the ring he was transformed into Ray Diamond, the popular Middlesborough wrestler trained by British mid heavyweight champion Norman Walsh at the St Lukes Amateur Wrestling Club. Ray began wrestling as an amateur whilst serving in the Durham Light Infantry. On occasions he donned a mask and assume the character of the White Angel, aided by his female assistant in her revealing costume. We are still searching for a photo of Ray Diamond but in the meantime have come across this one of the masked Ray as the White Angel with the lovely Yvonne. When neither wrestling nor teaching Ray could be found promoting wrestling throughout the north east, having set up Europa Promotions in 1974, or alternatively advising film and television production companies as a fight co-ordinator. Ray Diamond was killed in a car crash on 4th January, 2012. He was aged 73. __________________________________________________________________________________________ | NEWS STORY Ian Glasper, known as wrestler Ray Diamond, was killed in a car crash after he became ill whilst driving in Weardale, County Durham. He was 73 years old. All who knew Ian are invited to attend his funeral which will be at held at High House Chapel, Ireshopeburn, Weardale, Co Durham, on Tuesday 17th January at 1pm. |
A giant of a man we are told (though you wouldn't think so looking at the photo of Dick in the navy) Dick Rogers, known as Dick the Dormouse, started out running a boxing and wrestling booth around his hometown of Plymouth in the 1930s.
He went on to gain greater fame as promoter (along with his wife Jessie) at Belle Vue Stadium, Manchester.During the second world war Dick served in the navy and Jessie took over as promoter at Belle Vue. If anything Jessie's prowess as a promoter seems even more legendary than Dick's.
Post war Dick was the resident referee at Belle Vue and sometimes wrestled. Ray Noble remembers, "One of the most memorable fights I saw at the Kings Hall Belle Vue was Saturday 12th June 1954, Dick (The Dormouse) Rogers, Belle Vue's popular Referee V Bill Benny. I think they were both disqualified." Another fan remembers Dick as a huge man wearing a white athletic vest and trousers.
He was a master of the head scissors and preferred to finish his bouts with a perfectly executed suplex. The popular Berlin heavyweight made fleeting visits to the UK during the late 1950s and early 1960s, although his greatest successes were reserved for the other side of the Atlantic.
Having been trained by Bela Barothy and Axel Cadier the twenty-six year old German's first visit to Britain came in 1959, four years after having turned professional. Axel had learnt the business at the Heros Club in Berlin before making his professional debut. His first tournament was in Krefeld, soon to be followed by more of the German tournaments that were held on successive nights for up to four weeks.
His first overseas trip was to Spain in 1958, and shortly afterwards he travelled to Britain. During his career Axel wrestled throughout western Europe as well as South America, the Middle East, and the far east.
He stood 6'2" tall and was a muscular 16 stone, and wrestled the best that Britain could offer during his short tours, which were mainly confined to the South. For more than ten years Axel based himself in Barcelona, travelling extensively throughout the wrestling world.
Axel retired from full time wrestling in 1987, continuing his interest in the sport through refereeing and promoting. Axel's son, Axel Dieter Jr., continues the family tradition in the pro wrestling rings of Germany.
"The Doc" was a promising 1970s wrestler known to fans throughout the North and Midlands. Prior to turning professional he had trained at Bradford's Hilltop Amateur Wrestling Club, with his friends Dave Barrie and Garfield Portz, and later at the Leeds club run by George de Relwyskow.
With that sort of grounding he was destined for fame and fortune that failed to materialise. The nickname "The Doc" had been given to 1970s welterweight Michael Stocks by a workmate long before his July, 1970 professional debut, in which he lost to Ian Gilmoure. That match was at the Middleton towers, Holiday camp, Morecambe, and the Doc lost by two straight falls.
Out of the ring The Doc was committed to charitable work as part of SPARKS (Sportsmen Pledged to Aid Research into Crippling). In the 1970s the bearded Doc seemed to many that he was destined for the top, but his ambitions were to remain unfulfilled.
We have little doubt that the name Doctor Blood was intended to capitalise on the success of the better known Doctor Death. If that was the plan then it was one that failed to fulfil any of its hopes. The white mask, rule bending tactics and lighter weight was never a serious contender for his nemesis, Doctor Death, who did eventually, and inevitably, unmask him. Beneath the mask was Liverpool's Terry O'Neill, though we have little doubt that there were other Doctor Blood's on the independent circuit.
The mysterious Doctor Death was arguably the most famous masked heavyweight of the 1960s. The character became devalued due to frequent copying; as in the mid sixties numerous Doctor Deaths could be watched around the country every night of the week. Those who saw the original, though, were never in any doubt that they were watching the genuine article. Billed as the mystery man from Hollywood USA, the identity of the original Doctor Death is now widely known, but for the sake of consistency we reveal it in the Wrestling Heritage "Top 20 Masked Men." Here was a man who could use blindside skulduggery and torment his opponents with punishing nerve holds to bring the fans to a frenzy. The real mystery is how the man behind the mask managed to create such a famous and well respected wrestling superstar without the aid of television exposure. Sign in or sign up now to read Members Only articles:A Year of Wrestling 1962 ____________________________________________________________-_ | THANK-YOU DOCTOR DEATH, by Al Marshall I was very sad to hear of the passing of Paul Lincoln. It was a photo of Paul as Doctor Death that I saw when I was a very small boy that made me want to go and watch a wrestling show. I pestered mum and dad for weeks before they relented and dad took me along. After watching this masked man wrestle I was determined that I too would become a wrestler. The saddest thing of all is that I never did get to meet this great man to say "thank you." He did so much for professional wrestling. I saw him wrestle about three times. I know it was him under the mask and not one of the many imposters. Paul, the wrestling world owes you so much. God bless you Paul for you are now in that big wrestling ring in the sky. Thank you, from Al Marshall. Read our extended tribute to Al Marshall: A Man of Arms |
When compared to big brother Seamus it seemed that middleweight Mike Donlevy was made up of the calmer set of Donlevy genes. He was certainly the more popular of the two with female fans.. Following in the footsteps of his older brother Mike left his hometown of Charletstown to set up home in Liverpool, then Birmingham, and into the professional wrestling ring a couple of years after Seamus. They made a formidable tag team in opposition to the White Eagles, Black Diamonds and Cadman brothers. Highlights of his career included a bout with Jack Dempsey on television and clashing with Mick McManus at the Royal Albert Hall. Sometimes overshadowed by the exploits of his tough guy big brother Mike did claim one record of distinction, a four second fall over Ken Cadman. Mike has now returned to Ireland and cotinues to live in his birth place of Charlestown, County Mayo.
Another fighting Irishman, and the one who played the saxophone in the spare time. Born in 1934, in Charlestown, County Mayo, Ireland, the rugged Seamus Donlevy was to become one of the promising Irish heavyweights of the 1960, though he remained overshadowed by the successes of Pat Barrett and Sean Regan. At 17 years old he moved from County Mayo to Liverpool as a carpenter. After training at Riley's gym Seamus, by that time living in Birmingham, turned professional. He was a regular worker in Joint Promotion rings, working throughout the country from his home in Birmingham Seamus' rugged features alerted fans straight away that they were about to witness a ring villain, and they were rarely disappointed. His intriguing life story, which includes an attempt on his life when bullets were fired into his car, and management of various midland night clubs, can be read in his auto biography, "Finally Meeting Princess Maud." _________________________________________________________________________ | |
Memories of Barry Douglas are overwhelmingly of a hairy wrestler. That is unfair; Barry Douglas was a talented, aggressive all action wrestler.
With a very hairy back.
He came from famous wrestling stock, being the son of referee Douglas Relwyskow, grandson of Olympic gold medal winner George de Relwyskow Snr and nephew of wrestling promoter George de Relwyskow Jnr.
With those credentials you would have thought that young Barry might have been given a helping hand up the wrestling ladder, but that was not the case. No one could accuse the Relwyskow's of giving Barry preferential treatment.
Barry used his considerable skill to remain a professional for more than five decades. He was an aggressive, all action fighter, relying on strength and submission holds, the Boston Crab being his speciality.
For the most part he stayed within the rules and was popular with fans. On occasions he would wrestle as masked men Battlestar and Bull Blitzer. The name John Londous was used in Japan.

Most of those fans that still remember Joe think of the dapper referee who kept control of thousands of contests in the 1960s and 1970s.
Before that Joe was a very popular wrestler who followed his cousin, Mike Marino, into the wrestling business. With Italian parents Joe's family name was Scala.
He was born in Bermondsey in 1922 and turned professional fairly late in life as a result of a diversion called World War 2.
Joe's professional debut, in 1948,was against the visiting New Zealander, Russ Bishop. Jackie Pallo, Steve Logan, Vic Coleman, Johnny Peters and most other big names opposed Joe in his twenty year career which reached an end in 1968.
Behind the scenes Joe penned much of the Dale Martin promotional material under his real name of Bob Scala, and co-authored "The Who's Who of Wrestling," a book of pen portraits of many big names, but mysteriously omitting some of the names that fans of the time expected.

Johnny Doulas was a Turkish Cypriot who wrestled as Doulas the Turk, unsurprisingly nicknmaed "The terrible Turk." He started wrestling in the early 1930s, mainly in the south but not infrequently venturing into northern England. Unusually he seemed to remain very active during the war and following the end of hostilities worked almost entirely in the north until his retirement in 1956. __________________________________________________________. |
Dundee's Mid heavyweight Tom Dowie was known as a reliable worker in Scotland during the 1960s. Reliable, that is, in the sense that fans knew they would be tretaed to a good, solid bout of wrestling.
Tom was a sports fanatic from an early age and once represented Scotland in an international wrestling tournament. He also enjoyed sailing, and that's his boat Valhalla in the photo on the right.
Tom turned professional in 1961. He worked regularly at Scottish venues, and only rarely ventured south of the border. That's why it came as something of a surprise when Ted Beresford gave him his first televised outing in 1964, from Halifax in Yorkshire. It's an even bigger surprise that his dozen or so subsequent television appearances were all from south of the border!
European light heavyweight champion claimant Jacques Ducrez made a number of fleeting visits to Britain in the first half of the 1950s. Although his visits seem to have been of short duration he did seem willing to travel and made his way as far north as Newcastle only to be knocked out by Abdul the Turk.
Although light by heavyweight standards Ducrez was a very powerful wrestler, a former body builder whose training routine consisted largely of weightlifting. A hugely successful wrestler throughout Europe Ducrez gained even greater fame when he donned a mask.
In 1962 a masked French terror appeared in Britain using the name Jacquerez. Amongst his ko victims were the at-that-time high-flying Billy Howes at Smethwick, Warwickshire, and conjecture remains rife at Wrestling Heritage that Gwyn Davies may have been avoiding the encounter by virtue of his non-appearance.
Jacquerez faced many other top heavyweights including Tibor Szakacs, Josef Zaranoff and Roy Bull Davis. We noted three years later that Bull Davis was a favoured opponent of a remarkably similar visiting French masked man. We can only conclude that Jacquerez was the very same Jacques Ducrez, as it seems he merely eliminated the four middle letters of his two names and then elided the two together.
Ducrez made a greater impact internationally during his second incarnation as a masked man, visiting Britain in 1965. Find out who he was by reading the Wrestling Heritage Top 20 Masked Wrestlers.
Manchester welterweight Terry Downs turned professional in the early 1960s and seemed one of the welterweight divisions hot prospects for a time. The young Downs , unable to use his real name because there was already a wrestler called Jim Hart, turned to wrestling after working in an abattoir, so no one could accuse him of lacking the killer instinct.
Trained as an amateur at the Manchester YMCA with the professional touches added at the Wryton Stadium under the guidance of Francis St Clair Gregory and other Wryton pros. A textbook wrestler, not one to smudge, let alone, bend the rules. Involved in a series of encounters with Colin Joynson and Al Brown, the type of lower card contest that delighted the fans.
Terry Worked almsot entirely in the midlands, north and England and Scotland with the (seemingly obligatory) weekly tour of Dale Martin land (the deep south for non UK readers). He retired from wrestling in 1969.
Eddie Rose remembers Terry, "He looked quite like film star Paul Newman and was a favourite with wrestling fans. He had an ongoing rivalry with Colin Joynson in the mid-60s, two Manchester lads but from different ends of the city. I watched him give Jack Demspey a good run for his money one night at Bradford."

Harry Duval was an impressive man. Impressive in so many ways.
Admittedly not the first time we came across him. That was in 1965 when the Master of Ceremonies at the Preston Public Hall introduced Harry, who was wearing a heavy overcoat, and announced that he would be wrestling on the following month's show. We cheered him, as we would any local lad, but he looked nothing special.
The following month later Harry was back in the ring minus the overcoat. That coat had hidden muscles. Lots of them. Very big muscles. He was an impressive sight to say the least, and no less so once he began to wrestle.
We firmly believe that Harry must be a strong contender for the title of Britain's most under-rated wrestler. Even "The Wrestler" magazines predicted that here was the man most likely to succeed Billy Robinson, who had a firm grasp on the British and European heavyweight championship at the time.
Dyer Henderson was born on the Caribbean island of Montserrat on 2nd May, 1935. He came over to the UK as a youngster and settled, like many of his countrymen, in the textile town of Preston. Wrestling was gaining popularity in the 1950s and Harry's interest in physical culture led him naturally to the grappling game. Training at Billy Riley's gymnasium alongside Jack Dempsey and Billy Joyce prepared him for a professional debut around 1963. His body was still developing and our earliest recorded matches, for the independent promoters such as Jack Taylor and Cape Promotions are against lighter, well respected wrestlers Pete Lindbergh, Ray Taylor and Bob Sherry.
Harry's physical culture regime was paying dividends all the time and he quickly grew in strength and stature. Many of his bouts were preceded by a demonstration of the power of his lungs. Fans would watch in amazement as Harry's lungs inflated a hot water bottle to unbelievable proportions, quickly followed by a loud bang as the bottle exploded. Not impressed? How about Harry smashing a coconut with his fist? We did say this man was impressive. The demonstration would be followed by another impressive display, this time of his wrestling ability against men of increasing weight, experience and skill.
In the mid 1960s Harry was signed up by Joint Promotions and began to work regularly for Wryton Promotions, Morrell & Beresford, and Relwyskow & Green. As was often the case with wrestlers tempted across the divide from the opposition Joint Promotions failed to capitalise on their new acquisition. Admittedly Harry received lots of regular work, travelling up and down the country, but it seemed that neither his terrific strength, submission style wrestling, considerable ability and wins over Prince Curtis Iaukea, Albert Wall, Pat Roach and Gwyn Davies were enough to convince the promoters that here was a man with the potential to become one of wrestling's post war greats. We were dismayed when Harry returned to Preston in January 1966 facing top heavyweight contender Dennis Mitchell and promoter Norman Morrell failed to even mention that Harry (who had been re-named Paul) was our local hero.
Harry retired from wrestling in 1973, fulfilling another of his ambitions by going into pub management as landlord of the Prince Consort public house in Preston. Harry left the Prince Consort to become a well known taxi driver until his retirement. He is remembered by Prestonians to this day for his immaculate attire of chauffeur's cap, black suit and carnation.
Harry Duval passed away at home on 6th September 2013, aged 78 years.
Please leave your memories of Harry in the Talk Wrestling Forum and also on his obituary page in the Lancashire Evening Post.
We are told that Harry began using the name Paul Duval when another wrestler of that name failed to turn up for promoter Jack Taylor one night at Leicester. Which brings us to....
This Paul Duval remained something of a mystery to us until recently when we met up with him at the Kent Reunion in August, 2010. We knew of his existence, and had seen photos of this other 1960s Paul Duval who was definitely not a heavyweight, did not have Caribbean parentage, and looked as though he had never blown up a hot water bottle until it exploded.
Jack Burns was a young middleweight who made his professional debut in 1960, working for the independent promoters. A quirk of fate led to him acquiring the name Paul Duval a few years later. Jack was working for London based promoter Tony Di Marto.
When a French wrestler, Paul Duval, failed to show up for one of Tony's shows the promoter asked Jack to step in, and introduced him to the unsuspecting fans as Paul Duval of France! Since retiring from wrestling paul has reverted to his birth name and is now a professional toastmaster.
When Dynamite Kid appeared in the wrestling rings of the North in 1975 he caused a sensation.
Fans had never seen anything quite like this wrestler. Speed, athleticism and acrobatics were taken to a new level, but the boy could wrestle as well, trained by veterans Ted Betley and Jack Fallon.
During the following three years he travelled the country, learning new skills like any other novice, but uniquely fearlessly developing breathtaking new aerial moved previously unimaginable to fans and opponents alike.
Three years later Dynamite Kid emigrated to North America where his innovative and unique style made him a legend of North American rings fondly remembered to this day.

WP:RETENTION: This editor is willing to lend a helping hand. Just ask.
This user is one of the 400 most active Wikipedians. |
I am Michael James Lowrey, called "Orange Mike" because I like the color a lot and tend to wear at least one or two items of that color on most days which are not Saint Patrick's Day.
I am a Wikipedia administrator, with a tendency to spend a fair amount of time on new-page patrol and general clean-up. I participated in the WikiProject Screencast Screen Sprint. I wrote one of the scripts, and my dulcet tones can be heard as the narrator on Script 3: "Assembling Your Materials," to be found at File:WP-Screencast-KO-Script3.ogv.
I have no tolerance for people who commit marketing (spamming, public relations, spindoctoring, pimping, advertising, shilling, huckstering: call it what you will) within the confines of Wikipedia. You may practice your trade elsewhere, if it is lawful there; but do not attempt to do so in Wikipedia.
I am considered to be toward the "deletionist" end of the inclusionist-deletionist spectrum, because I believe that many articles here (including not only new ones but many existing ones) are violations of our standards: how-to guides and game manuals, fan trivia, in-universe fiction summaries, obscure porn actor biographies, politician self-aggrandisement, memorials, original essays masquerading as scholarship, etc. When I say I am a bit of a deletionist, I mean that I hold articles here to higher standards of notability, verifiability, etc. than some other editors. (And yes, our servers are overloaded, and the problem's not getting any better.) I'd rather see fewer articles, better researched and better written. I am really glad to help other editors in any way I can, though; and please don't hesitate to contact me.
I was born in 1953 in Jackson, Tennessee. In 1977, disgusted by the corruption and stupidity of Southern politics, I moved to Milwaukee (partly at the urging of Frank Zeidler).
I am a free-lance writer (book reviews, muckraking, and whatever suits me); I've been a member of the National Writers Union since 1985. I have worked part-time or full for Renaissance Books in Milwaukee, one of the largest used-book stores in North America (which doesn't have a website, alas!) since 1978. For most of the time since 1984, I have also worked for one agency or another of the State of Wisconsin, and been represented by (and active in) AFSCME Council 24, the Wisconsin State Employees Union. I am a graduate magna cum laude of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a B.A. in History. (I have also attended Jackson State Community College, Tennessee State University (a historically black university), the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, and the University of Chicago.)
Science fiction fandom, which I discovered in the 1970s, is my primary social outlet. I have been Fan Guest of Honor at a couple of science fiction conventions. For those who are actually interested, my Guest of Honor speech from Iowa's ICon 25 is to be found here. I appear in the feature-length film Finding the Future: A Science Fiction Conversation, and my daughter Kelly appears in the "Bonus" section of the DVD thereof. I am informed that my belovéd wife Cicatrice and I were briefly interviewed on the BBC World Service programme Outlook recently; the broadcast may be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p017cq6l
For those of you interested in the Society for Creative Anachronism, in such circles I am y-clept Lord Inali of Tanasi, GDH. I was on an episode of the game show Win Ben Stein's Money. I won $2,000, and am told that I acquitted myself well enough. Ben accused me of resembling "Z.Z. Top on acid" but said I had a good singing voice! I was listed in one edition of Who's Who in America. Whoopee. I manage a family of virtual mutual funds on the Marketocracy site, which have a pretty good record. Like all WBSM! contestants, my Bacon number is 2 through Ben; otherwise, it would be 3 (through Forrest J Ackerman). Michael J. "Orange Mike" Lowrey at the Internet Movie Database

The new content creator, despite having survived a week of trench warfare at AfD, is now contemplating a new page on a philanthropist whom she sees as worthy. Maybe something will come of it, maybe something won't, but your decision to move from a (valid) initial critique of the piece into a positive force working to help to save a "Keeper" has had a good effect for The Project and I just wanted you to know that.

What's driving creation of Virtual Micro Networks
My networking-savvy colleague Bob Laliberte and I just got back from Interop in New York City. While at the show, we met with a number of leading networking vendors to discuss trends in the data center. Why the data center focus? Between data center consolidation, server virtualization, Web 2.0 applications, the convergence of storage and data, and power/cooling concerns, data center networks are rapidly changing.
Aside from these macro trends, there is something else going on. In connecting specific applications/services to specific users and groups, high-bandwidth data center networks are actually made up of numerous subsegments that … Read more

The way the Trojans recruit and coach, even the departures of NFL types, like Rey Maualuga, Brian Cushing, and Clay Matthews, aren't enough to derail this defense. Sure, it may not be historically good, like a year ago, but it'll remain plenty stingy and ridiculously fast. It all starts with All-America FS Taylor Mays, the top cop in the nation's top secondary. The linebackers will be young, but their talent and upside is indisputable. Up front, there are an unusual amount of question marks, putting pressure on DE Everson Griffen to deliver the season of his life. Tuck aside names, like Armond Armstead, Chris Galippo, Malcolm Smith, and Shareece Wright. They may be unfamiliar today, but odds are that they won't be by Halloween.

Day 9 The wet season had made the road to Mt Everest base camp impassable. Visiting Drigung Thel monastery (4,280m) and the Charnel ground (Drigung Durtro), the most famed site for sky burial was the alternative offered. Drigung Thel monastery was built precariously at the edge of the cliffs overlooking the valley and dates back to the early 12th century. The journey there was most perilously as we turned off from the highway into a dirt road. We jostled and bounced through the valley for about an hour, grabbing hard onto our seats to avoid being bumped on the head and sustaining serious head injuries, passed a narrow bridge that was obviously built for lighter and smaller vehicles, and slowly climbed the narrow and winding cliffs that overlooked the green valley (you bet we prayed hard!). The landscape that unfolded before us was spectacular. On the distant horizon, the snow-capped mountain ranges were half shrouded in mist, and before us were ploughed fields and wild flowers in vivid blues, purple, and yellow. As we approached the monastery, we awed at the magnificence of the monastery that seemed to be carved out of the cliffs. The journey from Lhasa to Drigung Thel monastery took 5 hours in all.
The monastery was under repair at the time of our visit. Apart from a few German tourists, we were the only other visitors. The morning was wet and grey again. As if reflecting this, the atmosphere at the monastery was dark and dank. We were told that two bodies were being brought to the Drigung Charnel ground for a sky burial. We were not allowed to view this ritual by order of the law. We could, however, view the site later when the ritual is completed. Once reserved for kings and nobles, a sky burial is considered the highest and cleanest form of burial. The body is dismembered and the bones crushed and mixed with tsampa before being fed to vultures and crows.
We followed the mint-lined path that would lead us to the burial site. Under normal conditions, the hike is suppose to take approximately 15 minutes, but we took almost an hour as we stopped often, either to hide under some shrub to wait out a heavy downpour or to take pictures of the different alpine flora that littered both sides of the path. The rain had brought out the scent of mint; it was an invigorating hike that brought us another 200m above sea level. We halt just before the actual site and waited for the ritual to end. Two donkeys grazed peacefully farther up the slope and large vultures were seen standing immobile with their wings spread wide-open. This, according to our driver, was to dry their wet wings. A large black dog with bloody eyes came down from the site and stood quietly before us as if to make sure we did not approach the site before the proper time. Our driver went ahead of us, and, after waiting about 30 minutes, we were finally signalled to climb the final steep slope. The view of the surrounds from the site was simply incredible. I felt like Julie Andrews in the opening scene from the "Sound of Music" and would have burst into song but for the inappropriateness of the occasion. As we circled the perimeter of the burial ground, we saw vultures and crows still feeding on the remains. A pit used for cremation still held fragments of bones and lining the slope were prayer wheels encased in windmill-like poles.
We left Drigung Thel monastery for Nyingchi, our next destination, our disappointment over not being able to see Mt Everest somewhat assuaged.

fedora crash after minutes(a fan problem?)...
I have a DELL precision M65 on dual boot, windows xp & Fedora since the times of Fedora 7. And all had been working very well (with some little issues) until I changed the mother board (because a severe problem with the last one). Before to the change, I had installed fedora 11 and windows xp working well, without battery, and after the change windows xp works well (ja!, I mean, as always), but fedora(after updating the system, including the kernel) once that it starts, I have like 10 minutes before the fan starts to speed up and suddenly shut down, as if the system were overheated? If I try to login again, I have less time before that occur. I tried to reinstall from zero (clean) fedora 11 (and 12) but now I do not have so much time to get the system installed before the fan problem occur again, i fact in these case I have only like 2 minutes before the problem with the fan appear. So I tried with fedora 10 and I succeeded in installing the system, but again, I have only like 10 minutes for working before the shut down of the system. All this is odd. I do not know if is a problem with acpi?, with the kernel configuration(because the problem occur after an update?) or with the mother board(but windows xp does not find any problem!). Does any of you have any suggestion? Even when I have used fedora for such a long time, I have had any serious problem with the configuration, so I do not have so much experience with the "inner parts" of the system.

Windows service rule triggering with a value of "NotInstalled"
Article:TECH145835 | | | Created: 2010-12-08 | | | Updated: 2011-01-13 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH145835 |
A rule which checks for the status of a Windows service is falsely alerting with a metric value of "NotInstalled". The rule is resolved shortly after it triggers once a legitimate value is returned by the metric.
- Monitor Solution for Servers SP5 7.0.8641
- Windows Server 2008 R2
This behavior is caused a memory leak which occurs in the wmiprvse.exe process when queries are made to the "Win32_Service" WMI class. This process will continue to consume memory until it crashes which coincides with when the value of "NotInstalled" is reported by the metric.
The following Microsoft article addresses this issue:
The "Win32_Service" WMI class leaks memory in Windows Server 2008 R2 and in Windows 7
Source | ETrack |
Value | 2231987 |

A New York duo has been arrested and accused of using a double-cart scheme to steal $257,000 from Home Depot stores in New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. They allegedly loaded two carts with identical items, paid for one, and stashed the other in the store.

'Big Brother 13': Shelly or Adam, who goes home?
Post-Pandora's Box
To her credit, Porsche totally regrets taking Pandora's Box and ruining her four-person alliance for $5000 (and 5K for her partner Kalia). Meanwhile, Rachel and Jordan are naturally ecstatic. Well, Rachel's ecstatic. Jordan is a little slower in jumping on the excitement train.
So Porsche nominates "Rojo," as they are calling themselves (via the live feeds, which it's not too late to sign up for). But it hardly matters this week who is on the block. Later, Rachel and Jordan approach Kalia and Porsche for a final four deal. Everybody seems on board - that no matter who wins what, Shelly and Adam are the next two gone. But we'll see if that works out.
You know - Rachel and Jordan are both more interesting, less abrasive, smarter and more independent without their men in the house.
Meanwhile, Shelly is feeling pretty sorry for herself because Jordan is not speaking to her after she ousted Jeff. Frankly, I think Jordan needs to relax. That's how it works, blondie. You don't have to be Shelly's BFF, but the silent treatment? Are you 10 years old?
Shelly also needs to stop crying and talking about how her husband and her daughter are her alliance. That makes no sense, Shell. Just own your power move and move on.
Power of Veto Competition
There are super, super creepy dummies hanging in the backyard for each remaining houseguest to hang on for the competition. They are hanging on these dummies that have their former partner's face on them. It's like something out of "Silence of the Lambs." Also, funny how this is a similar competition to the one Rachel won the night they all entered the house.
Adam falls first, after less than five minutes. I know he's a big guy and not in super-great shape, but that's pretty weak. Four minutes?! And then Jordan drops after 8 minutes?! Seriously, that is terrible, y'all.
There is then a small segment about Kalia farting during the competition and she DRs, "I promise I don't pass gas." Really? Ever? 'Cause everybody passes gas, dummy.
Shelly falls after 12 minutes, which is also pretty weak. Meanwhile, Porsche and Kalia are struggling and Rachel is sitting on her dummy like it ain't no thang. Porsche falls at 18:30 and I am shocked Kalia is the next-to-last person standing. Not that she can't do stuff, but some of the people who have dropped before her are in better shape.
Kalia falls at 32 minutes and Rachel wins. Shocking that she would win a competition she already won.
Post-POV Comp
So at this point, Shelly knows it's her head on the chopping block. She goes to Jordan in "non-game" capacity to clear the air and they have a nice come-to-Jesus moment where they apologize to each other. Jordan DRs that she forgives, but she won't forget.
By the way, I do think Jordan is a very sweet girl (way sweeter than Jeff, who gets a very generous edit on this show) and I think she will be really appalled when she finds out about the threats against Shelly's family.
Shelly then starts working on Rachel and Jordan to keep her, swearing that she won't turn against them ever. She's been doing that all week on the live feeds and it seems like Rachel and Jordan are considering it. But that might be just for show.
There's the totally pointless POV ceremony. Obviously, Rachel takes herself and Jordan off and Shelly and Adam go up. So who do you think is going home, BB13 fans?
I also realized how smart Rachel and Jordan are playing the game. If you watch the feeds, you know that they're playing the game well--better than they did with their men. And Andrea, remember, BB did not force Porsche to accept Pandora's Box. Of course, they threw in that "duo" twist to save Rojo (the ratings would tank otherwise). Still, they did not force this twist on the game. Ratings matter most, and viewers want to see Rachel and Jordan get to the end. It pretty cool watching Rachel's popularity increases this season, especially among the live-feeders who get to see how close Rachel and Jordan have become and how nasty Shelly and the other girls treated Rachel. I'm team Rojo (or Jorchel) till the end!
If Shelley does not get voted off the show, I may have to bail out on this season.
2 vets in final 2 would be boring..since one of them wondnt it recently.
hell it should be all stars if they didnt think new players would get ratings..
i think j/j r/b were worse ones to bring back..rach is so annoying.
plus she turned down a reality show on herself offered by cbs..
final 2 should be adam and jor or kalia..rach pissed off most the house..jor/rach final..jordan wins again..its like watching a rerun then..no point!!
"Porsche had won Head of Household and CBS had re-instituted the duo twist via Pandora's Box (because by God, they will get Rachel and Jordan to the end if it kills them)."
So it's CBS fault that Porsche was dumb enough to eff with Pandora's box? Has she not seen the show before? Clearly something bad, that would directly effect her, would happen if he chose to do it - and she felt that 5 g's was enough for her to take the risk. I LOVE reading your recaps on my reality addictions, but you've been super biased this season against the vets. Porsche made her bed, it's time to sleep in it. And while I am totally against homophobic behavior, I don't think Jeff is half as bad as you try and make him out to be. I love Jordan, so I will always route for her. I despise Rachel as a person, but in this house, she is my 2nd favorite. The 'newbies' (with the exception of Dom & Cassie were all horrible. Terrible casting this season, in my opinion - so therefore, without the vets, this season would not have been as enjoyable.
I think without Jordan/Rachel this would be a boring year. Adam has also been entertaining. The problem lies in the game itself. There need to be some changes made to format, And get rid of slop. The idea of have-nots, and depriving them of amenities is a good one, just expand on that. I am totally rooting for Jordan. But I should say I like Rachel a lot more now that Brendan is gone.
I can't imagine watching the Kalia/ Porsche show (w/Shelley or Adam tagging along). It's like the nerd herd all over.
I don't hate Shelley (never did) but i do hope they vote her out.
I love seeing Rachel & Jordan playing without their boyz there to protect them/hide behind. I like Rachel best when she is strong & fights.
They were NOT on board. Kalia & Porsche said if they win veto there would be NO WAY they will change nominations, but they could let Rojo think that in case they don't win it anyway!!
I guess Shelly will be going, but I wish it was Jordan! She's done NOTHING and is such a floater. Plus she's won already, how greedy can she be??? Give someone else a chance! I hope the final three are Porsche/Kalia/Rachel. Jordan/Adam/Shelly are need to go, FLOATERS!!
I really thought in the beginning that Rachel needed to grow up. She was always crying. Well, the clok has turned. Shelley, an older person, that is supposed to have more sense, (ha-ha), is now acting like a 3 year old and crying to get everyone to feel sorry for her. She needs o be voted off tonight. I cannot stand her when she makes her votes and then kisses her 2 cigarette fingers. I do not smake and I think that is sick looking. Good bye Shelley!
I'm not sure due to CBS editing if Shelly spoke to Jordan before or after the POV competition. It seems like she spoke to her after the POV. If Shelly did that before POV competition things may have worked out for her regarding the eviction night. However, she waited until afterwards and although Jordan forgave her, I don't think it will save her from being evicted tonight.
I've been reading a lot that many people don't want Jordan to win because she all ready won. That is unfair. Why can't she win again? She deserves to win the game just like anyone else in the house. If everyone thought that then she would of been evicted so long ago!
Is it just me or has Rachel become more lovable since Branden left?

Nike Free Run 4.0 Men Size 10
Hello All, I'm looking for Nike Free Runs and need them ASAP. I did a search and found a few posts but they are either expired or OOS. Thanks for your help. |
Well, you could always try your local Craigslist or ebay, see if you can find any deals. Otherwise, if you "need" the Free Run ASAP, then you have to pay retail.
Overall, why does it have to be the Nike Free Run? Would you consider one of the similar models from an equally reputable or more reputable running company? There are shoes like the Saucony Kinvara (which I would choose 9 times out of 10 instead of the comparable Nike), the various Brooks Pure series like the Pure Flow, Asics Neo, Mizuno Wave, New Balance Minimus, etc. Also, it's funny how everything old is new again. If you look at photos of athletes from the mid-1900's, they were using shoes like the Onitsuka Tigers. Onitsuka became Asics, and they still make the same shoes as they did 50-70 years ago. They're sold both under the Asics and Onitsuka Tiger names: http://www.urbanoutfit http://www.zappos.com/onitsuka-ti...exico-66~1 So maybe consider one of these as well. If they were good enough for all the marathon runners and Olympians back then, you should be fine with them now. I think that Puma and Adidas still also make their 1950's-tech shoes today as well; most people wear them for fashion, but my roommate used to go running in his. |
Thanks for your reply Shnitz! Appreciate the input but I did some reading online and I'm new to this "running" so I bought into the hype. I found one on flee-bay fairly cheap ($57) compared to $90 retail. Did some background checking on the seller and he seems legit. Nike Free Run [ebay.com] Thanks again..You'll hear from me again if they came in and turned out to be fake |

University of West Florida. In 1973, he graduated with honors, gaining
degrees in both Philosophy and Religion. After graduating, Peter
remained in the Pensacola area and continued to work in construction
trades that had put him through college. Having been bitten by the
