Rather than dive right into dusting and rearranging, the licensed house-cleaning specialists from A Jill of All Trades LLC first sit with their clients for a casual, in-person chat. They hold these complimentary consultations to help clients determine the right services for them—in part because they thrive on personalizing their services, and also because they have so many services to choose from. Cleaning staff can arrive on door-steps for monthly or weekly cleanings, or conduct one-time deep-cleans for special occasions and imminent moves. During these visits, they attend to nearly every part of the house, which may involve mopping floors, dusting furnishings and window cracks, or checking the laundry hamper for spare children. Additionally, an on-staff organization specialist and home decorator helms both short- and long-term design projects, meeting with clients at regular intervals as needed. A Jill of All Trades LLC backs all services with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and can send staff for return touch-up jobs within 24 hours if needed.

When it comes to assessing her clients' homes and offices, Victoria El-Zarif doesn't like to delegate. The Sparkling Homes owner visits each of her new customers personally, determining their needs before sending her crew to sanitize bathrooms and kitchens and vacuum carpets. For consistency, Victoria sends the same crew member each week, which means customers get to know the people they're letting inside their homes. In addition to general housecleaning, the staffers polish silver, do laundry, and organize closets and garages.
Occasionally, an Italian exporter will ask the owner of Poggi Bonsi why she named her business after Poggibonsi, a small town in Tuscany. The answer is simple: it's fun to say. It may be even more fun to peruse the shop's shelves, which hold handpicked items from artisans across the pond. The woman who owns the shop seeks out suppliers who practice crafts the same way her ancestors did. This explains Poggi Bonsi's extensive stock of Italian ceramics and French linens. They supplement this timeless selection with modern appliances, kitchen gadgets, and bakeware.

Interactive Books for the Memory Impaired
Shadow Box Press creates books for the memory impaired. Books that are more than "picture books" or "storyteling!" The mission of Shadowbox Press is to develop interactive products for memory-impaired adults to revisit and share memories through the experience of reading. Yet, some people with Alzheimer's, Dementia or other memory-loss have impairment too severe for reading. My mom was an avid reader and could often be seen with an open book in her lap. I'd watch as she read a single page and turned to the next. Then a bewildered look would wash over her face before she turned back to the page she'd already read. This scenario played-out over and over as her memory could longer span the time it took to turn the page. The Shadowbox Press Books have solved this issue. Each page is a story within itself. When you turn the page a complete, new story is there to read on the next page. With large, colorful photos and extra large, bold text each book is easy to read and follow along. Every book can be read independently by the person with memory-loss or shared by a caregiver, loved one, staff member or volunteer. As anyone who has been a caregiver knows, there is nothing like a loved one's smile of accomplishment and happiness when they are able to do something which had previously been impossible–like Reading! The Shadowbox Press Books solve this issue. Besides the wonderful short stories on each page, there's a surprise in the back of each book.
Shadowbox Press Books will spark the imagination, promote self-reflection, and provide a way to find meaning in experiences. All accomplished with these books! Dogs and Puppies – Heartwarming Stories of Man's Best Friend are designed to provide an easy and effective way to improve the quality of communication between caregivers and memory-impaired adults. Dogs and Puppies chronicles the antics and adventures of man's best friend. From playing catch in the park to rooting for scraps in the trash, each heartwarming tale accompanied by an endearing photograph, recalls a treasured moment of dog ownership. ———————————–

Hello, I'm looking for any information on the Sinn family. My grandmother is Virginia Sinn (Quate), she was born in Belleville Il (or so she thinks) in 1912. Her father was Christ (I don't know if that's short for Christopher or not)Sinn and her mother was Katie unknown. Katie died around 1917-18. My grandmother had a sister and I think her name was Edith. I do know Christ had a brother who murdered for a gambling debt in Belleville Il. but, grandma can't remember his name or the year it happened. I also know that the family ran a Clover Farm's General store in Beleville. Any infromation or suggestions would be of great help. Notify Administrator about this message?

"In Scandanavia, the word pancake is an almost generic term used for crepes, omelets & true pancakes, but mostly for crepes & omelets. The origin of this recipe is my "Classic Scandanavian Cooking" by Nika Hazelton cookbook & the intro suggests using a very tasty & full-flavored bacon for the best result. If I were in the US & making this dish, I'd be using a thick-sliced peppered bacon or good maple-flavored bacon."
Serving Size: 1 (334 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 2
"We really enjoyed this omelet. I made it as directed and served it with thick slices of heirloom tomatoes that I grow in the garden. What a fantastic breakfast! Thanks for sharing the recipe."
"I made half the recipe and just used 2 slices of turkey bacon. I added 1/4 teaspoon dill weed and skipped the salt for health reasons, and the taste was incredible. A great hearty breakfast with toast and marmalade. Thanks for posting twissis. Made for your win in Football Pool 2010 - Week 12."
"Had this for a light supper,very good."
"Very nice breakfast to savour over the weekend. I liked the way the flour helped the eggs firm up. Nice recipe and, of course, one of those that you can 'tweak' - the addition of a little grated cheese is a fine thing!"
"I made this for the ZWTII and added slices of Home Grown Tomatoes. Definetly a Keeper!"
"This is the first omelet I've had that did not include cheese, but I did not feel at all deprived as the bacon and chives were especially flavorsome and the omelet was great big and hearty. Because of its size, the omelet was somewhat awkward to work with but in the end it came out great. My daughter and I split and enjoyed our omelet for breakfast the first day of Zaar World Tour II ~ Thanks!"
"Very good, I halved the recipe and made a light supper for my husband, I drizzled a little maple Syrup over the bacon and he said it was the best omelette ever, making it for him again tonight :) Thank you, twissis, made for ZWT9, Family Picks, Pink Panthers"
"Absolutely delicious brunch/lunch!!! I made 1/6 of this recipe and followed it as written except, I added some colby/jack cheese instead of the suggested cream cheese. I served this with some fresh fruit and a blueberry muffin for one wonderful late breakfast/lunch. I really love the addition of chives, no need to pre-cook (to soften) as you do with onions. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT 9."
"mr picky liked this version best i think because of the cream cheese zwt9"

Fishing the lowtide is the best situation right now for these huge schools of redfish up on the skinny water flats. The trout bite on moving water in seams near creek mouths has also be very effective places to put a fly.
Temps mid 60's to high 50's for next 10 days. Some scattered showers during this time period.
Schooled up fish on the mud flats is the game for the rest of the winter. So far it has been some really wonderful fishing on the low tides this winter.

EDMOND — Continued enrollment growth, the opening of a new elementary campus and state and federal funding cuts have school officials taking a hard look at budgets for the next two fiscal years.
Edmond School District could face a grim budgeting process
"To maintain current programs, support the added operations of a new elementary school and cover annual operating expense increases, would necessitate a budget increase," said Lori Smith, Edmond Public School District controller and assistant treasurer.
This year's general fund budget, for the fiscal year that ends June 30, is $133.4 million, Smith said. Revenues and expenses have not been determined for the 2013-14 budget year.
School officials might not find out how much money they have to operate with until state legislators decide during the upcoming session.
"We need assistance from the state," said David Goin, school superintendent. "That's the long and short of it."
"With 95 percent of our general fund tied up in salaries, there isn't a lot left over to go towards other areas," Smith said. "If the state does not increase funding for common education we could be forced to increase class size, reduce positions and eliminate programs."
Such changes could be possible within the next two years without adequate funding, Smith said.
Expenses can fluctuate after the budget is approved. For example, this year the district spent $75,000 more on transportation fuel than budgeted. Other expenses included an additional $85,000 for insurance and $25,000 for student drug testing.
The total payroll cost is expected to increase by $6.5 million for this fiscal year, school officials said.
This year's expenses will include $2.7 million in new employee payroll costs, $4.2 million in salary increases and a new elementary school that will cost the district $1.5 million in operating expenses during its first year.
The district has one early childhood center, 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three high schools and a total of 22,500 students. Over the last four years the district has grown by 2,200.
Oklahoma voters in November passed two state questions that will reduce the amount of funding the district will get from district taxpayers.

Add Comment - Unregistered January 19, 2013 10:37 AM Can't deny Dunlops speed but i don't think that gives him the right to deride others achievements, those slow twins can lap at 115mph ! As for "The only race that matters is a big bike win at the TT - that's how you're remembered."I can remember quite a few great road racers that never won a big bike TT Did Raymond McCullough even go to the island ? 4 agree 0 disagree
conrod - Unregistered January 19, 2013 2:37 PM A lot of postings on Michael Dunlops size and weight etc and all i will say he is a very good road racer and now given the Honda contract i hope he is in the gym over the winter months . I believe a fit Dunlop can win one if not two of the big classes at the TT.John McPint will be cover every angle of preparations to defend his position on the island as he wants to break Joeys record. Michael take note. 2 agree 0 disagree

Tetley January 19, 2013 4:13 PM Michael Dunlop is a great addition to any team. His grasp of generating headlines is on a parallel to Guy Martin. It draws attention to him and his team, which is exactly what attracts sponsors. Like many others here, at first I thought him a loud-mouth who just spoke his mind and verged on arrogance, but for a youngster he is already performing like a veteran. As for fat, he has a wide chubby face upon which many judge him, yet he is fit and full of energy. He also has an incredible work ethic, and as his professional racing life becomes more busy, more demanding, he will become more toned. We forget how young he is.William is the quiet one, less adept at creating his own public persona, but on a good bike he can be guarranteed to uphold the family name in any class and in any company..

bigend - Unregistered January 19, 2013 4:15 PM totally agree will micheal twins mean nothing they only mean anything to the people sat on them why anyone things they are worthy of a race at the tt is beyond me 4 agree 1 disagree
Mike Goodyear - Unregistered January 19, 2013 7:54 PM Good pure road racer - but spends too much time satisfying his fans with attempts at getting his knee down in a gutter or his back against a five barred gate, or doing short cuts through someones back garden. Gets a bit tiresome (excuse the bad pun) 2 agree 1 disagree

KeepHerLit January 20, 2013 1:57 PM I believe William Young's comment to be out of order .Michael Dunlop said racing won't be the same in response to Ryan announcing his retirement. Michael's stance on supertwin is his own business. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 1 disagree
julian webb - Unregistered January 20, 2013 7:46 PM great talent,however when irish superbike racing has fallen flat on its face and 4 or 5 people are sitting on the grid what will his reaction to somebody at least trying to encourage people to come racing.everybody has to start somewhere 1 agree 0 disagree

Ordered, but uncollected[edit]
This phrase is unnecessarily dense. Anyone who knows what is really meant is urged to edit this to plainer English. Qermaq (talk) 00:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Still curious. "(ordered, but uncollected, by Connery)" is weird, and it is in the Casting section. Can anyone clarify this? Qermaq (talk) 22:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Was this Bond's only film appearance in a Kilt? I believe so, but need additional confirmation from other editors. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 07:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. Emperor001 (talk) 13:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Thug in Tracy's room[edit]
I'm almost certain, having seen the film in the last two weeks, that Bond does not kill the "thug" in Tracy's hotel room, as the same man is later seen listening at the door of Bond's suite and apparently leaves satisfied as to her safety. Is it another thug or is this an error in the synopsis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 03:03, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Short reference to the first three Bond movies[edit]
Just after Bond has told miss Moneypenny to write M that he wants to quit his job, he unpacks his briefcase, and takes out three special items which appear in the first three movies. During the time he observes these items, you hear respectively of the song "under the mango tree", the "from russia with love"-theme and "goldfinger". Maybe something to put in a trivia-section? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 19:36, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- The 3rd song was Thunderball, not Goldfinger (but the janiter in Draco's buidlding did whistle Goldfinger). Emperor001 (talk) 13:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Ultimate Edition[edit]
How come the DVD boxes for every Bond film in the Ultimate DVD package have so-and-so as James Bond 007 or so-and-so as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 but the box for this one simply says James Bond 007 without the George Lazenby as part? Emperor001 (talk) 13:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Curious. Presumably just prejudice — in that they don't think of him as a familiar "Bond name". After all, the covers are probably designed by a professional cover-designer, rather than a Bond fan. – Kieran T (talk) 13:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- That in itself was a prejudicial and unsupported statement. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 07:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
GA Review[edit]
I have started a review of this article to see if it fits the criteria for a WP:Good article. The criteria and my comments can be found here. SilkTork *YES! 23:34, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- The article hasn't met the criteria for GA. Comments can be found on Talk:On_Her_Majesty's_Secret_Service_(film)/GA1. SilkTork *YES! 23:51, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
The only bond film filmed and set entirely in Europe[edit]
Is not "for your eyes only" also not set exclusively in Europe? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- No:
- Also, "From Russia with Love" is also set exclusively in Europe. I've removed the claim. Swanny18 (talk) 11:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Playboy Trivia[edit]
Oops, stupid "minor edit" tick box being over the "save page" button. Anyway, edit summary for the last edit would have been: "Removed Playboy trivia because it's non-notable." Cheers. DonQuixote (talk) 22:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Blofeld does not recognise Bond[edit]
- The script stays so close to the book that there are several continuity errors due to the movies taking place in a different order, such as Blofeld not recognising Bond, despite having met him face-to-face in the previous film, You Only Live Twice. In the original script, Bond undergoes plastic surgery to disguise him from his enemies. The intention was to allow an unrecognizable Bond to infiltrate Blofeld's hideout, and help the audience accept the new actor in the role. However, this was dropped in favor of ignoring the change in actor.
Bond had surgery to disguise himself in You Only Live Twice (book & film). When Bond met Blofeld face-to-face in that film, Bond was supposed to appear Japanese!
Assuming Bond had more surgery to restore his original appearance (or even get a new one) would explain this continuity error. If there are other continuity errors due to changing the order of the stories from book to film, I'd be interested. Sante Sangre (talk) 14:51, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Peer review[edit]
This article is in pretty good nick but there are a couple of neutrality issues. In the cast section, some of the entries include critical reception "snippets". In Lazenby's case the critical summary certainly isn't representative of the critical consensus, and I think all critical commentary should be removed from this section and added to the critical reception section. In most "good articles" this section seems to just document information related to the casting, and it is impossible to provide a balanced and neutral commentary in a couple of lines.
Secondly, in the critical reception section there is a box quote; while there is nothing wrong with box quotes, and nothing wrong with including this particular piece of information, I don't think we should box quote critical commentary because it elevates one opinion above another, which can affect the neutrality and it could discourage readers from reading the whole section which is necessary to form a balanced view.
Most of the references look reliable and the article seems pretty well sourced, but I will perform a more thorough check of the sourcing over the weekend. Betty Logan (talk) 00:36, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- The Ebert summary I think sums it up perfectly so I think should be elevated above the others in a box.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- As a rule I'm against boxed info, it makes it look like a magazine rather than an encylcopedic article. Obviously that is just my personal preference, and with something like the Lazenby quote in the production section it does no harm; however I'm against boxing opinions because even if it is balanced and representative it still gives too much weight to a single opinion. My view is that critical reception section should be straight prose; readers should be encouraged to read the whole section and that is the only way to balance the various viewpoints. Betty Logan (talk) 14:41, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Possible unreliable source (currently citation 10): http://www.jamesbondmm.co.uk/bond-villains/yuri-borienko
- Dead link (currently citation 41): http://www.retrovisionmag.com/jamesbond.htm
Betty Logan (talk) 08:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Checked through the article fully now; apart from the dead link and the box quote in the reviews section which give too much weight to a single opinion, the other problems are restricted to the Cast section. There is a dubious source and an unsubstantiated claim; the review snippets should be moved to the main review section where they can be placed in a balanced context, because at the moment they compromise neutrality. Apart from that, and with a more substantial lead, this looks good to go in terms of a GA application. Betty Logan (talk) 13:37, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
WP:FILM Assessment[edit]
Per a request at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Assessment, I have reviewed the article to see if it should be upgraded from C class. I went through the entire article and made some fixes throughout. Please review my changes for accuracy. I've noted the below that should be resolved prior to a GAN review:
- The lead should be further expanded to touch on all of the various sections in the article.
- Some of the citations are duplicated and can make use of "ref name=". See the Screeonline citations.
- The screenshot appear somewhat decorative, only showing the Angels of Death and Bond together. Expand the caption to help justify the image. See if any of the book sources touch on the cast diversity, costume design, etc.
- Consider cutting down the lengthy quote in the reflective reviews section, it seems to overwhelm the section, especially for possible NPOV concerns.
- This isn't a requirement, but I would highly recommend using WebCite to archive the links before they begin to go bad. It would be a shame to lose the large amount of sources that are available for citing this article.
As these can be resolved prior to a reviewer looking over the article, I am going to assesses this as B for now. Please let me know if there are any questions on the above. I'm glad there continues to be a combined effort in improving the Bond films to higher quality. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:11, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- Sorted the screenonline reference duplication. Betty Logan (talk) 01:36, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- I'll write the lead in a couple of days when the rest of the article is nearly there and sort out the review section too - SchroCat (^ • @)
- I've performed a webcite comb; not all the links were cached but a good few were, so if you find any dead links do a search on the link at http://www.webcitation.org/query. Betty Logan (talk) 14:06, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- As per above, I´ve moved sections of the quoted text into the main body to provide better balance between the two schools of thought. - SchroCat (^ • @) 19:01, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
- I´m not convinced the Bond / Angels pic is a shot from the film - it looks too much like a promo shot (and I think I´ve seen it described as such in a book, although I´m not at home at the moment and so can´t check) If it is a promo shot, I´ll get rid of it as I think it´s more window dressing than anything else - unless anyone objects.....? - SchroCat (^ • @) 19:35, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Articles with no images of the characters look worse off in my view.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:37, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
- I believe in the case of FUR pics there is a preference for "group" photos, and since the section describes the ethnic make-up of the girls and thus decribes their appearance to a degree, I think the photo probably does complement the section. I suggest we keep it in for now and wait for the formal review. If the reviewer has a problem we can remove it then. Betty Logan (talk) 19:51, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
- I've gone over WP:FILMNFI and it's a little doubtful whether it could be used as it stands as it does not meet the Significance criteria: "The non-free image should be significant in increasing the readers' understanding of the topic. Non-free images can illustrate technical and/or thematic aspects of the film. Examples include, but are not limited to: production design, makeup, costume design, camera technique, visual effects, lighting, and iconic shots." Whilst there doesn't seem to be any criteria that would stop the image being used, we do need to address this point more fully to justify the use for the GA review. I suggest a better intro to the 2.1 Blofeld's Angels of Death section and a better descriptor to the image itself. I´m on a flight back home tonight, so I'll do it when I get there, unless someone beats me to it (or complains vehemently about the suggestion!) - SchroCat (^ • @) 10:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
GA Nomination[edit]
On the basis of the edits of the previous couple of weeks and the completion of the points raised in both the Peer review and WP:FILM Assessment sections above, I've gone ahead with the listing, as I think it's in good enough shape to pass as it stands. If the reviewer doesn't agree, then I think that at the very worst they may be one or two small points to clarify, but I feel we should be able to cover those as and when they arise. Finger crossed everyone! - SchroCat (^ • @) 09:38, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- There can't be any major issues with it, there is possibly only the "angels of death" image that might be a problem. Sorry about changing "sterilize" BTW, you learn something new everyday! I still can't get over it—"sterilise" gets more hits on Google UK than "sterilize", so I bet it will be listed when the new edition comes out! Betty Logan (talk) 09:51, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- I know - I was very surprised too! I changed it lower down in the article some time ago and only found out about the 'ize' version today and had to change it back! I'll have another look over a couple of books at home this evening to see if there is anything additional to beef it up a bit more, but I think this may be the only major bone of contention, although there are bound to be a couple of minor points to clear up too.... we'll see! And then we'll see about where to go next... MWTGG fills me with dread just looking at it! - SchroCat (^ • @) 10:05, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Good to see you share both my hopes for this article and my fear of going chronologically to what's maybe the worst Bond film (thank God the strongest contender for the title is already a GA...). igordebraga ≠ 18:00, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Whilst we're waiting for the process to kick in, I've made a start on The Man with the Golden Gun (film) but it's a thankless and joyless task in some respects! I've asked the reviewer from Dr. No and Goldfinger if he would mind doing this one and he's agreed to do it in a couple of days, which is great news. - SchroCat (^ • @) 15:38, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- MWTGG is now in slightly better shape - at least it is in a position where it can now be worked on properly, with a lot of the dross removed that was there before! There's still a long way to go on it first, but it's looking as if GA is achievable in the next few weeks, with luck and a prevailing wind! Any thoughts as to major changes / alterations would be appreciated. Cheers - SchroCat (^ • @) 14:32, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Book/Film Title[edit]
As my edit stated, the title of the book and movie was a typical Fleming-like spoof of a well known phrase. IE, "You Only Live Twice", "Live and Let Die" etc. Fleming loved to goof/spoof on his titles, character names, etc.
The point I bring up would not be argued by a UK resident. The phrase "On Her Majesty's Service" has been around as long or longer than Fleming himself. Of course most Americans (like myself) couldn't/wouldn't know this unless they visited or lived in Britain, as I did. Just because you went your whole life without knowing this doesn't make it not so. I inserted a link to photos of examples of this phrase, so doubting Thomas's would know. And Americans.
It should be quite obvious what Fleming was going for here. "Find another source" yeah right. How could you find another source saying what he was going for on "Octopussy" for example.
It's bloody well obvious. Or should be to anyone who can read and look at a photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Misterweiss (talk • contribs) 19:40, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

- Thank you for your original observation. Please cite a reliable source that verifies this, or feel free to publish your original research in a reliable source so that we can cite you. DonQuixote (talk) 19:54, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Is another Wiki article by another author proof enough for you self-appointed guardians of this realm? Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O.H.M.S.
Pasted in from that page: "In popular culture
O.H.M.S. is a 1937 action comedy film, while the title of Ian Fleming's 1963 James Bond novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service, along with its film adaptation, is a play on the term."
--Misterweiss (talk) 19:57, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
- Wikipedia doesn't concern itself with "self-evident", it concerns itself with "verifiable". From just above the edit box: "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable. Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used and redistributed by other people at will."
- As for the other article, "is a play on the term" is probably fine...but the other stuff in your edit ("The joke...is lost on most American's", "Fleming was being cheeky", etc.) is original research. DonQuixote (talk) 20:03, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
- If it is that self evident then you shouldn't find it too difficult locating a source for it. Before you start looking, however, you should consider that the only thing that matters for this article is that the title was taken from Fleming's novel. You may want to look at the article about the novel, where the source of the title is identified: Fleming chose it "after being told of a nineteenth-century sailing novel called On Her Majesty's Secret Service, seen by Fleming's friend Nicholas Henderson in Portobello Road Market." You'll also note that the source of the information carries with it a citation from a reliable source. As to your Octopussy reference, try looking at the article of that novel: you'll find the source of the title identified there too. - SchroCat (^ • @) 20:09, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Incorrect box office figures from thenumbers.com[edit]
This article has for a very long time used an incorrect box office gross from a single source thenumbers.com - the amount listed as a gross of $82 million is factually incorrect. The actual gross was $87.4 million. For some reason the worldwide gross is being cited as the international gross, then "further releases" as the incorrect $82 million gross. Actual initial gross was $22.8 million domestic and $64.6 million international - $87.4 million worldwide. This is the correct gross initially, and no gross information for further releases was ever given. This error needs to be corrected, and not put back without a proper discussion. Because it is an error. Due to old books citing the error, and a website with a new error. But Wikipedia should be able to get the actual right gross on the article, without always reverting back to the incorrect one.188.8.131.52 (talk) 08:01, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- You need to provide a source to back up the information you are trying to add into the article. The Numbers is considered a WP:RELIABLE site, which is why the figures from there have been used. You have not given us any source information, either on the article or above, to let us know here you are getting these figures from, and I'm not entirely sure they are right. The Cork & Stutz book James Bond: The Legacy suggests that the initial worldwide box office was $64.6 million, a figure backed up by Block & Autrey Wilson's George Lucas's Blockbusting: A Decade-by-Decade Survey of Timeless Movies Including Untold Secrets of Their Financial and Cultural Success. The figure of 87.4 million takes into account the amount after re-releases, not the initial release amounts. - SchroCat (talk) 08:31, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- The problem is that's not the correct gross. I researched for a book I was writing and the correct number was $87.4 million. The current source is always considered correct, even though it is not. So it always is considered factual. So there is no point in putting sources, it just gets reverted back every single time. I think more appropriate is to discuss that the current source should not be used in this instance solely, due to being in conflict with other sources. At the very least, it should be noted that other sources give a higher gross. The problem is that you can't simply edit the article to reflect that. It will always get reverted back due to the reliable tag. Anyway, it's not that important I guess, but it is the wrong gross.126.96.36.199 (talk) 08:38, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- The initial gross was $87.4 million. Again, these are errors that are being cited. The initial gross was $22.8 million domestic, and $64.6 million internationally. The $64.6 million international gross is not the worldwide gross. That counts box office only outside of the USA and Canada. The world wide combines the two. This is why I think the article should be corrected. It is simply not true that the initial gross was $64.6 million world wide. That was the international gross. That should be stated properly as international, not "world wide". And the discussion about it making more on re-release to $82 million is factually untrue. The initial gross was $87.4 million. Domestic plus international combined $22.8 + $64.6. The re-releases were never listed by those studios as to what the Bond films made. So there is an error, and also a confusion. I think we should simply correct here. It's not hard to see why this confusion exists of the international gross being claimed as the world gross. However, the claim about reruns and further grosses and then making $82 million is totally false.18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:44, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- The problem is that not only do we have a number of independent third-party reliable sources pointing to $64.6 million as the worldwide gross, we also have books authorised by Eon (who should know), and industry experts like Block and Autrey Wilson who all say the same thing. a number discuss "worldwide boxoffice", regardless of territory. Worldwide incorporates all countries and does not artificially split off two countries for no reason. All you can say to back up your position is that you did some research for an unknown book and have a different number. You haven't provided any sources to back up what you're saying and nothing that we can use to change the current position. Can you say where the information came from, or provide a link or reference to a reliable source that goes against a number of other references? - SchroCat (talk) 08:48, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- This is why I wanted the discussion. The sources being touted simply made an error. I was just hoping to discuss that, point the error out, get it resolved and fixed through discussion. For example, it's not that hard to contact the studios and get the info. Like I said, it's not important. But I was just trying to fix it through discussion. Not get into a whole thing about sources. We can Google it right now, hundreds of sites use both figures. That's really not a solution, when the figure being used will always be used because of the reliable tag. But this won't get resolved this way as I can see, and it's just you and me. So let's just drop it. But in the future, it would be nice if someone can edit it to the correct figure and not have it reverted every single time. But I guess that's not going to happen. Thanks for the discussion.18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:54, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- Concur with SchroCat. We can't use original research, even if it is correct. I have no opinion on which set of figures is correct though this won't be the first time a RS has been wrong. Despite this I support SchroCat's decision to revert unless you can cite a RS. - Fanthrillers (talk) 21:26, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

- I am distinctly dubious over the 87 million figure, since there seems to be common confusion over what constitutes an "international" figure: in some sources the "international" figure refers to the worldwide figure, whereas in others (usually US based sources) it is taken to mean the non-US figure, and without access to accounts or contemporary reports we have no way of knowing which is correct. However, if the film did gross 87 million that would be only be 13 million less than You Only Live Twice, which I don't think would have been considered "financially disappointing" at the time after losing Connery. It's worth noting that the Connery films immediately before and after made about 40% of their total gross in the US, whereas if the 87 million figure holds true the US share of OHMSS would stand at 25%. If OHMSS did indeed earn 64 million on its initial release then the US share would stand at 35%, roughly in line with the other Bond films of that period. Ultimately though, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to collect together published content, so there's a good reason why unsupported figures are removed; however, we do endeavour to use accurate figures so if you can provide your sources we may be able to corroborate them.

breaking the fourth wall[edit]
The film article claims: "These include Bond breaking the fourth wall by stating "This never happened to the other fellow" directly to the camera[.]" A discussion about this exists at Talk:George Lazenby#Fourth wall in OHMSS. - Fantr (talk) 00:06, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Her Majesty's portrait in Bond's office[edit]
It looks like Bond has a copy of Pietro Annigoni's 1956 portrait of Queen Elizabeth in his office. He apologizes to her portrait ("Sorry ma'am!"), before taking a drink from his hip flask, shortly after his resignation. Group29 (talk) 15:32, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Longest JB film, but with a shorter version too[edit]
Worth pointing out is that this is the longest JB film of them all. Also worth pointing out that a much shorter version was released in several territories. Have this at home on a HK VCD.

It is well known Zaheera debuted in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Plenty of sources list her as part of the cast, including the MTV official website, and BFI doesn't even say Zaheera isn't part of the cast. BFI isn't the ultimate source for everything, they in fact probably don't list her because she has a minor role. "Zara" seems to be Za"hee"ra mispelled, both have in fact the same pronounciation; a lot people at time (and even today) weren't able to spell Indian names correctly.

- What was the point of hassling me on my talk pagem and posting the same notice here? To settle the matter, and as in line with WP:FILMCAST, I've trimmed her and some others off the list. - SchroCat (talk) 14:12, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, blank the page too. This why wikipedia is less and less used. No info at all on pages, very useful. Jeangabin (talk) 14:15, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Trikopter with folding Mechanic
Inspired by William Thielickes Thread i managed to build my own trikopter by copying his ideas.
This Trikopter worked very well, William did an amazing Job. Thanks again! In the meantime i also managed to build a Mikrokopter based on the Hardware from HISystems. I designed a simple frame with carbon tubes from kites. As William finished his new Mini Trikopter, i decided to make also a new one. This time the footprint should be a little smaller than my first one, and a little bigger than the mini. As a gimmick, i wanted to be able to fold two of the arms to make it better transportable. The new tubes are carbon tail booms from a 450 TRex. The main frame is copied from Williams design. I added some holes for connecting the folding mechanism and some clips made from 8,5mm POM to keep the two arms in place. The clips The Motor Platforms This part holds the third arm in place and prevents the two others from damage by folding to hard (sorry, my english is not that good) The Mainboard. Its designed by William and i could get two of them. I will use three EMax motors. As soon as i get it, i will exchange the original windings against 15 turns 0,5mm copper wire. The servo mechanism The servo driven back motor is not in the middle so it looks like the motors are not in right angle. All Parts except the clips are made of industrial made fiberglass (FG) that is originally used to make PCBs. Carbon would be also possible, but i dont like it. The frame is made of 1mm FG. It is unbelievable how stiff the construction is. This could be achieved by using those black spacers between the yellow frame parts |

Ryan Smyth Oilers Captian in Mirror Universe
So I ordered a Ryan Smyth jersey from shop.canada.nhl.com, and recieved it today. Little did I know that I held in my hands a package that had somehow crossed the boundaries of space and time. It came to me from a world where #94 was never traded to the Islanders on that deadline day, no tearfull airport goodbye, and the C never defaulted to Shawn Horcoff. As I opened the bag my heart lept with the realization of this packages magical journey, for before my eyes, was this:
http://i48.tinypic.com/2hyw0tk.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/263zoso.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/30vhkko.jpg I already contacted customer support and they are shipping me a replacement. I thought this was a pretty hilarious error by whomever did the cresting. Has anyone ever had something similar happen to them? |
Should keep it and wear it.
Just saying, this should really be sent to scientists. Items from another dimension should definitely be studied.
I am starting to think about keeping it, but people who see me wearing it will just assume I am a ******. They may not be wrong, but for that?
you ordered a Smyth jersey - clearly you're a fan. Getting a C crested on it seems like a HUGE bonus. Rock it proud!
I found a pic of the mirror, mirror Ryan Smyth
http://nhl.speedera.net/image-upload...an_194x270.jpg |
why would you return that. its awesome.
Obviously it was aliens.
I stuck my head into this mirror universe and snapped a screenshot.
http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/...aftlottery.jpg What does this mean? |
lol Burkie.
What a little child. |
i hope youre not returning that
As far as being a Smyth fan, I am. I was 4 the last time the Oil won the cup, so I grew up, identify with, and remember the talentless yet hard working oilers. Smyth to me exemplifies this as he never had the best tools, but made up for it by playing with 110% heart. Yeah he's older now and dropped off, and yeah leaving town over a $100k difference was a kick in the teeth (though I envision it as Smyth telling his agent he wants $X and his agent not going below that, while I feel Smyth himself would have accepted the $Y offered by Lowe if fully aware of the negotiations. Maybe I'm romanticising and thats not how it went down but he's one of my favas as I said. But I digress...) but I was never in a financial position to purchase a Smyth jersey up to and including when he was traded, but he was always one of if not my favorite player. Now, even though I can afford it I limit myself to 1 jersey a season. (I've got a nice little collection going.) And last years purchase was an Atlanta Thrashers home jersey the day after they moved. (Heres hoping the Coyotes stay in Arizona at least one more year lol.) Which is why I've waited till now to order my long coveted Smyth Oilers sweater. In my mind he was always the heart and soul of the Oilers I cheered for, and for that reason I am considering keeping it. However even if I feel it's what should have been, that C simply doesn't belong on that sweater. |
I agree with others here. Keep the jersey as is.
It makes a statement. |
Ok, I've been sold. (possibly like a sucker)
I have contacted customer support and cancelled my request for a replacement. If you see someone rocking a Ryan Smyth away jersey with a C on the chest, it's probably me. |
I'd still make some sort of complaint, you should be entitled to some sort of partial refund or future rebate. Tell them you only wanted the jersey for the home opener, and thus returning it and getting a different one is really of no use.
But that's just me, I love taking advantage of corporate screw-ups, the one time you get to be (a litttle bit) in control. |
I'd return it. It makes you look either clueless or trying to make a statement other than "of support" when you wear something weird like that.
You could always tell people that Jason Smith was injured that day.
That's an awesome jersey. I'd also keep it either way. Smyth is deserving of the C. I like this alternative universe theory also. Perhaps, the Oilers don't lose game 6, Smyth is never traded and we don't spend the last 5 years scraping the bottom of the barrel for talent.
Smyth wore the 'C' on an interim basis. As this article dictates.

Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Now that the Chicago White Sox have dispatched of the last-place Kansas City Royals, the AL Central leaders can turn their attention to a showdown with the second place Minnesota Twins.
John Danks and two relievers combined on a four-hitter and Paul Konerko hit a two-run homer as the AL Central-leading White Sox beat the Royals 3-0 on Sunday. The White Sox have won 12 of 18 against the Royals this season.The victory enabled the White Sox to remain 2 1/2 games in front of the Twins, who won 4-1 at Tampa Bay. The White Sox open a three-game series Tuesday at Minnesota that will likely determine the American League Central crown."It's a big series," Konerko said. "Obviously, it's the team that's chasing you. There are six games left to go in the season. It's pretty simple at this point. You don't need to speculate about a lot. It is head to head. If we have a bad series, I don't think it is the end of anything. But if we have a good one, that should do it I would think. So that's our goal."The White Sox have been in first place for 144 days, including all but nine since May 17."It is like you're fighting for 12 rounds and you know you're winning, but a lucky punch gets you last round and you're done and you lose the title," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said of the Twins seasons. "That's that way I feel right now."The only thing we have left and the only thing that can complement that is to win [the division]. If not, it will be a tough summer with a bad ending. It can be a tough summer with a lot of happiness with smiling faces and proud. The only way we can do that is win. This was a huge game today. Now we're going into Minnesota up 2 1/2, so we have a little cushion."Danks, who was 0-3 with two no-decisions in his previous five starts, held the Royals to four hits and allowed only one runner past second base. Danks (11-8), who retired 11 in a row during one stretch, left after seven-plus innings, walking one and striking out three, picking up his first victory since Aug. 16."We are where we are for a reason," Danks said. "We know it's a big series and we know there is a lot at stake. We want to have as much leeway as we can. I noticed the Twins won today, so I knew we had to win to stay where we were."Danks walked David DeJesus and gave up and a two-out single to Ryan Shealy in the first, but struck out Mark Teahen to end the threat. In the second, he hit John Buck with a pitch. He advanced to second on a wild pitch, but was stranded there. Alex Gordon doubled with one out in the seventh and advanced to third on a ground out, but failed to score.Danks, who was 6-13 with a 5.50 ERA last season, has not allowed a run and only eight hits in 13 innings in his past two starts.The confidence factor and comfortable level is night and day," Danks said between 2007 and 2008. "The stuff feels the same, but just the way I feel on the mound is night and day."Konerko's 18th home run to left off Brandon Duckworth with Jim Thome aboard after a walk gave the White Sox a three-run cushion."I got down 0-and-2 and was just battling, not trying to do too much and definitely trying not to strikeout," Konerko said. "Duckworth's breaking ball was really good, a sharp little slider, so I just tried to stay back and let the ball get deep to me as much as I could cause he got me with that pitch on my second at-bat. He tried to throw a sinker in. I hit it good, but hit it high and got in the jet stream up there. The wind was blowing out good, which helped out."The White Sox scored their other run in the first with singles by Dewayne Wise and Jermaine Dye putting runners on the corners. Thome's sacrifice fly, which shortstop Mike Aviles caught in shallow left with his back to the plate, was enough to get Wise home.Kansas City chased Danks when Alberto Callaspo led off the eighth with a pinch-hit single that extended his hitting streak to a career-high 15 games. Matt Thornton got the next two outs, while Bobby Jenks retired the final four batters for his 29th save in 32 opportunities.Game notes
Dye went 2-for-4 for his 45th multihit game. The Royals finished 38-43 at Kauffman Stadium. They have not had a winning home record since 2000. ... The shutout was the ninth by the White Sox pitching staff, while the Royals were shutout for the 12th time, which is tied with Seattle for most in the American League.

So I accidently ordered the 5/32 size Durbo nose gear instead of the 3/32. Whoops. I did get the pre-bent one as well. Also, I went with the 3'' wheels due to the grass I land on. I didnt think it would work because the nose gear is too long. But I didnt want to re-bend and cut it so I just modified the firewall a bit to accomadate it, lol.
The spring portion is up in the cowl, I'll get a better picture of it next time. But as for how it works, its GREAT. I can actually taxi and steer through that grass you see. The nose is still a bit longer then the main gear, as you can see the tail is almost on the ground (especially in the grass). But it also helps with limiting prop strikes. Take-offs and landings have been really smooth actually. If it was asphalt or concrete it would probably drag the tail too much and cause some scraping. I've been getting better at landings, so with practice and some larger wheels its been a bit of a good combination. PS: thats my original cowl, epoxied a few times. I didnt run a spinner cap that day, the nut holds it anyways. And I hate trying to take it off without break it. |

The 5/32 is great. I was using it as well. It can survive a nuclear blast. The unbent one actually work better (for the reason below). The bent one results in a NG which is too long. I suspect as is you will have some bouncing. It looks too high. It may be difficult to touch down on the mains first. I was in a similar position with the bent 5/32 one.
This is how it was before I re-bent it: And after: |

Yes it is nice how tough the 5/32 is at least. I'm not tough enough to re-bend it like you though
For grass its almost perfect. I thought about the issue with not hitting the mains first and nosing it or something. But so far I havent had a problem.... I dont know if its me getting better at landing, or that it isnt as big of deal that I thought it was going to be. Good job though on the bend. Looks great. Are those 2' 1/2'' wheels? |

2 3/4". Since the pic was taken they were put on the mains as well. I suspect that it will be more bouncy on a paved runway. At that posture it looks almost like a tail dragger... Which reminds me, that is a cool mod to do. There is actually a tube that leads to the tail so you can actually steer if you convert it to a tail dragger.
