Count Jacques le Bel de Penguilly was one of the last surviving French members of the "Jeds" – allied special forces who parachuted behind enemy lines as part of Operation Jedburgh in support of the Normandy landings in 1944. Their mission, working in three-man teams, was to liaise between local resistance groups, to advise, support and arm them and, when advisable, lead them.
Each Jedburgh team was made up of a British or American officer, a non-commissioned wireless operator (usually British or American) and an officer from the target country – France, the Netherlands or Belgium. Jacques le Bel de Penguilly, from one of France's oldest families of chevaliers, was one of the latter, having escaped the Nazi invasion of his country to link up with fellow patriots in England.
British and French intelligence agents of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) had parachuted into France long before the Normandy landings but, with D-Day looming, the SOE reluctantly accepted that it needed not only more funds but aircraft, personnel and arms from its American allies. As D-Day approached, Prime Minister Churchill and the SOE also realised they needed not just more intelligence but increased physical harassment of the Germans – sabotage, blowing up railway lines and roads – to divert and slow down enemy movement towards Normandy.
Operation Jedburgh was a tripartite covert operation by the SOE, the American OSS (Office of Strategic Services) and the Free French intelligence service, the BCRA (Bureau Central de Renseignement et d'Action, set up by De Gaulle), from which Le Bel was recruited. The "shadow war" played a major role in helping the allies liberate France and push on to Berlin, and the "Jeds" are now widely seen as precursors of modern-day Special Forces. Le Bel was believed to be one of the last survivors of the 82 French "Jeds".
The 100 or so three-man teams of Operation Jedburgh (apparently named at random after the Scottish border town), guided local maquisards and called in weapons and ammunition drops, a key factor in slowing German attempts to get their Panzers to defend Normandy, and later in protecting the flanks of General George S Patton's US 3rd Army as it pushed through France.
But the "Jeds" were involved not just in resistance and sabotage. Le Bel's three-man Jedburgh Group, codenamed "James", joined maquisards in direct combat and helped drive the Germans from several towns before the liberation of Paris. Group James comprised Le Bel, US paratrooper Lieutenant John K "Jack" Singlaub (later head of US Special Forces in Vietnam) and wireless operator US army sergeant Anthony Denneau.
The two Americans had no idea Le Bel was an old French aristocrat and thought his real name was Dominique Leb, the nom de guerre he had been using within French intelligence. In any case, the three ended up with new Jedburgh codenames for radio traffic – Le Bel was "Michigan," Singlaub "Mississippi" and Denneau "Massachusetts". They knew if they were captured they would be executed by the Gestapo under Hitler's "Command Order". If successful, they were unlikely to receive recognition.
Fighting their way east along Route Nationale 89 along with local maquisards in mid-August 1944, Group James helped liberate the south-central French towns of Brive-la-Gaillarde, Tulle, Egletons and Ussel in the Central Massif, several days before the liberation of Paris. Le Bel, using a heavy machine-gun, personally shot down a low-flying Luftwaffe Heinkel He-111 bomber, according to Singlaub, who is now 91 years old. The liberation of Brive-la-Gaillarde on 15 August 1944 is often considered the first liberation of a French town by the French themselves.
Jacques le Bel, Count of Penguilly, born in Brittany in1919, was from one of France's oldest families of chevaliers, dating back to the Middle Ages and of Celtic origin. After leaving school, he joined his family's import-export business but his family were passionate anti-Nazis and when the Germans threatened his country, he enlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant in the French army.
After the German invasion he found his way to London to join the resistance led by Charles de Gaulle. Recruited by the BCRA, the Free French intelligence service, he was sent for commando training at Milton Hall, a country house and estate outside Peterborough requisitioned from the Fitzwilliam family. After intense commando training, including parachuting and hand-to-hand combat instructed by the legendary Major Eric Sykes (of the famous double-edged Fairbairn-Sykes commando dagger), Le Bel was "married" to the Americans Singlaub and Denneau as Jedburgh Team James in the run-up to Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy.
The first Jedburgh team, codenamed Hugh, was parachuted into France on 5 June 1944, the eve of D-Day, but Le Bel's team was delayed after Singlaub had to have his appendix removed. Team James finally got their turn on the night of 10-11 August 1944, specifically to harass the enemy before Operation Dragoon, the allied invasion of southern France scheduled for a few days later.
Each armed with a 9mm Llama automatic pistol and a folding-stock U.S. Army M-2 carbine – Denneau also carried a special B2 radio which became known as the "Jed Set" – they took off from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire aboard an RAF 190 Squadron Short Stirling Mk 1V bomber. With them were a team of Free French paratroopers who had been trained by the fledgling British SAS.
The group parachuted into the Corrèze département in France's Massif Central, landing in a valley near the village of Fonfreyde before dawn on 11 August with the help of bonfires lit by farmers. "The farmer's daughter brought us a mushroom omelette made with fresh eggs," Singlaub, now 91 years old, who was shot in the face by a German sniper soon after landing, told The Independent.
Fighting their way east along Route Nationale 89 with local maquisards, Group James helped liberate Brive-la-Gaillarde and other towns on the highway. "Jacques was an inspiration to the young maquisards we were leading," Singlaub said. With Le Bel at the head of the local resistance, the liberation of Brive-la-Gaillarde on 15 August 1944 is often considered the first liberation of a French town by the French themselves.
In early 1945, Le Bel was parachuted back to France and ordered to get to the German-occupied Austrian Tyrol via Switzerland, which he did partly by bicycle with his automatic rifle in his picnic basket. That May he had the pleasure of being the first Frenchman to liberate many of his compatriots including, in Niederdorf, Léon Blum, a pre-war French Prime Minister who had been rounded up by the Gestapo because he was Jewish and had spent time in the concentration camps of Buchenwald and Dachau. Blum was said to have been astounded and elated at seeing a Frenchman among his liberators.
"Jacques was tall, lean and alert in appearance," Singlaub said. "He was a patriotic Frenchman without any political ambitions beyond getting the German invaders out of his homeland."
After the war, Count Le Bel returned to the import-export business, a quiet man who never spoke of his wartime experiences. He was, however, named an Officer of the Legion of Honour and was given the Croix de Guerre and the US Medal of Freedom, established by wartime President Harry S Truman to honour those who aided the US during war. The Count died in his historic Chateau de la Tiemblais in Saint-Samson-sur-Rance, Britanny, just south of St Malo.

We seem to have rather stumbled into discussing the Samsung's 4K upscaling, so even though you're probably salivating to hear about its native Ultra HD playback capabilities, we might as well go on now to take a look at how the upscaling performs.
The short answer is that it's absolutely outstanding, opting for a somewhat different approach to that of Sony's 65X9005A, but delivering it so brilliantly that deciding which one is best is futile. It's just a matter of taste.
The first thing that hits you about HD pictures upscaled to Ultra HD (4K) by the Sansung UE55F9000 is their truly stunning level of detail and sharpness. Running the Samsung UE55F9000 right alongside a Sony 65X9005A, it's very clear that Samsung's upscaling approach delivers a more detailed finish.
With the set's Natural and especially Dynamic picture presets this extreme detail embellishment is unfortunately accompanied by some pretty overt and thus distracting noise, such as excessive grain and stressy object edges.
But with the provided Movie and even, critically (since it's the UE55F9000's default setting), Standard presets, the sensational amount of detail Samsung's processing adds to the picture is delivered with practically no nasty side effects at all. In short, you're left staring agog at HD sources that have suddenly become 4K. Which is a pretty incredible achievement when you stop to think about just how many pixels the upscaling processing is having to calculate.
So why might anyone prefer the Sony's upscaling? Because some may feel its less spectacular, gentler approach (it seems to focus on adding more pixel density rather than trying to greatly ramp up picture detail) is easier to become lost in, and the Sony model also has Triluminos technology on hand to help it deliver a visibly more richly saturated and finely nuanced colour palette.
So as we said, when it comes to upscaling, picking between the Sony and Samsung UHD/4K magicians is a matter of choice between incredible extra definition from the Samsung, and richer colours and a less showy, denser look from the Sony.
All that really matters, though, is that in their different ways, both upscaling approaches are far better than we could have imagined possible from the first generation of UHD/4K TVs.
As a side point here, we should also mention that we managed to get a startling and unexpected boost from the UE55F9000's upscaling picture quality when we fed it Blu-rays from the Samsung BD-F7500 'UHD/4K' Blu-ray player. Although we have to confess that we don't fully understand how it happens, apparently the TV and the Blu-ray player join forces in upscaling terms when they recognise each other's presence. And the results are remarkable, as pictures look cleaner, more precise, more richly coloured and most surprisingly of all, possessed of better black level response and contrast.
While upscaled HD footage will make up the vast majority of content you watch on the Samsung UE55F9000 as we sit patiently waiting for true UHD/4K sources to arrive, what you doubtless really want to know is how it handles proper 4K/Ultra HD content.
Feeding the set a Samsung native Ultra HD showreel of pretty locations and odd but surprisingly effective close-ups of beautifully prepared food immediately delivered that same instant thrill we've experienced to some extent with every Ultra HD/4K experience we've had to date.
The amount of detail on show is mesmerising, giving pictures a level of precision and depth miles beyond anything possible with a normal HD image. Colours also look more natural in tone and blend, and the way the extra pixels make it possible for the screen to resolve colour blends with greater precision also helps the picture achieve a greater sense of depth and solidity.
Helicopter shots of city skylines provide a potent reminder, too, of the ability of Ultra HD-resolution footage to resolve a much deeper 'horizon' before the onset of softness and loss of pixel definition causes the image to flatten out. In fact, it's when studying these sort of ultra-large scale shots that it becomes most apparent that, as with its upscaled HD pictures, the Samsung UE55F9000's native Ultra HD pictures actually look slightly more rich in detail and sharpness than those of the Sony 65X9005A. The sense of extreme depth is just that little bit more profound on the Samsung set.
The fact that you can clearly appreciate both the sharpness and depth of the Samsung's 4K TV images is made all the more impressive by the fact that it's only a 55-inch screen. A size at which, some would have you believe, you shouldn't be able to really see any benefit from Ultra HD playback over HD at all. And no, we weren't watching the set from a stupidly short viewing distance during our tests.
Watching native Ultra HD on the Samsung UE55F9000 also brings to our attention a strength of its pictures we hadn't really thought about while testing its upscaled shots: some excellent motion handling.
Set the Samsung 4K TV's motion processing to its Clear or Standard settings and Ultra HD footage retains its incredible clarity at pretty much all times. Normally we wouldn't necessary recommend using motion processing systems, but not using any motion processing with Ultra HD footage led to some noticeable loss in the sense of sharpness when it contained lots of motion. Also, we found - surprisingly considering the vast amounts of processing power involved - that Ultra HD seemed better able to look natural with motion processing applied to it than is normally the case with HD content on lesser TVs.
It also became clearer to us while watching 4K sources that Samsung's set is more comfortable when it comes to handling dark scenes than the Sony 65X9005A. It's able to reach deeper native black levels, and dark scenes tend to look slightly more stable too. The set achieves this, moreover, while suffering only very rarely with any of the light blocking we were worried about earlier in the review.
The only slight disappointment with the Samsung UE55F9000's contrast performance is that the set's local dimming system isn't able to emulate the Cinema Black feature sported by Samsung's F8000 and F7000 models.
This means the brightness of black bars on ultra-wide aspect ratio films will vary a little as the set goes about its dynamic contrast/local dimming business in a bid to keep the contrast at its optimum, which may prove distracting. It's a small price to pay for the outstanding picture quality, however.
While the Samsung UE55F9000's Ultra HD pictures are slightly sharper and higher contrast than those of the Sony 65X9005A, though, head-to-head tests reveal that the Sony has a UHD/4K ace of its own: colour intensity.
Compared to the Sony, the Samsung UE55F9000's colours look a little washed out, and while edges tend to look slightly crisper and more defined on the Samsung, the Sony 65X9005 delivers more colour resolution, presumably thanks to the set's Triluminos edge lighting technology. This can actually make some types of content - especially stuff with almost infinitely subtle colour mixes, like grass and sandy beaches - look slightly more 'Ultra' HD on the Sony.
Overall, though, as with the upscaled pictures, it's more a matter of taste when judging the Sony and Samsung native Ultra HD images, rather than one approach being clearly better than the other. In fact, both screens make Ultra HD/4K look so good it's hard to go back to watching anything else.
"World Exclusive: Read the first review anywhere or Samsung's first 4K TV"
Is that meant to read "on"?! Doh!!!
Or maybe "for"
I have seen this TV in the samsung store in Tottenham court road in London twice and i've been blown away by the picture quality. The Sony centre is right next door and the x900's short comings become clear as in detail lost in darker scenes and alternate gray lines on the 55 inch version. When viewing blu-ray on the 55f8000 the screen looks massive, but when viewing 4k on the f9000 the screen looks small for all the detail and resolution. At 2 and a half picture heights there is still definitely quite an improvement.
I didn't see any usb ports on the connections box but I'll double check, I wonder if samsung will replace the entire box for hdmi 2?
At £4000 which is less than double the 55f8000 rrp, I don't think 4k is beyond reach anymore and if I had the money I'd seriously consider buying this tv.
Power consumption at 157 watts is higher for a screen this size, most likely due to increased pixel density, but far less then a plasma.
I have seen LG's 55 inch Oled in Harrods and would like to see their curved version as well as samsungs version but early reviews already show their short comings such as image retention, stuck sub pixels and motion resolution. Oled maybe the tv of the future but it has lot of catching up to do with Lcd, Samsung have cut the price by 1/3 which is a step in the right direction.
It's 'of' and thanks for the spot. My bad.
There's a difference between "exclusive" and "first." Unless no other publication will review this television, you cannot claim to be the former.
how is it possible to judge a top end tv if they all get 10?
Still want to know if the HD picture is better than Panasonic's finest. I have my kuro still and attempted to upgrade but every time I see an LED TV I really dislike to motion blur and judder, especially when watching football. Any input on this would be great. Also are they both isf compliant?
No mention of SD up-scaling? Considering a lot of television is still broadcast in SD, I'd wager a lot of folk are more interested in that for day-to-day viewing than what the none-existent 4k footage would look like, should it exist.
Thanks for the review. The upscaling sounds very promising. Just one question, what are the viewing angles like? My experience with Samsung tellys is that the black depth is excellent when viewed straight on, but drops off when viewed off centre.
you're probably better off with a panasonic plasma
If you frequently watch sports a plasma will do a much better job with motion and the panasonic st plasmas are good value for money, much cheaper than this tv
You mention "And no, we weren't watching the set from a stupidly short viewing distance during our tests." in your review. I would be interested to know what kind of viewing distance you did use? Just to get an idea of what distance is appropriate for a 55" 4K.
Thanks. Sounds like a brilliant 1st gen TV.
Why would you be looking to replace a Kuro with an LED TV? I would think that would be a step backwards. As ly121688 has said. I would look towards the latest plasmas especially if you are sensitive to motion blur. I think i would wait a little longer if i already had a Kuro though.
Samsung apparently now admits their motion smoothing technology does not work with HD because HD is "too big" for the computations. But, they continue to get away with advertising it, and reviewers, like you, continue to claim it works. Why should anyone believe anything written these days?
Does manually naming the input "PC" reduce input lag? On earlier Samsung models, that was a nice little unadvertised workaround to reduce lag.
Just a word on 3d crosstalk - there is a firmware update to version 06 that solves the 3d crosstalk issues totally. Once applied there is zero crosstalk as should be the case with 4k and the depth of 3d is now simply stunning. Can't tell you how good this tv is!!!
Would not touch Samsung there quality control is utter garbage. Good luck in getting a tv that actually works
Don't get sucked into the 4K is too expensive and there is no content
dribble. GO LOOK AT A 4K TV! The picture is simply stunning and like
nothing you have ever seen before. Remember, when you went from standard
definition to HDTV? It's the same experience, if not better. See a 4K
TV and make up your mind with your own eyes and ears. ~Mark http://www.BuyBest4KTV.com
Key words for other comments "cheaper and I would" The Kuro was an amazing TV but 4K completely blows plasma out the water. The only people that think otherwise are penny counters.
An update to the price from time to time would be OK, as would a mention of overseas pricing. People look at your Reviews from everywhere around the World because 16 months ago your Site was REALY great, recently less so (and not just for the price not current reason).
Canadian Model UN55F9000AFXZC CA$2999.99 (Pounds = 1630.23):
Thanks for the heads-up. It's quite hard for us to update reviews based on changing prices, we review a lot of products and the world is a big place, but we'll do our best.
Was there anything specific you wanted to comment about the site in general? All feedback greatly appreciated.
This an amazing TV with probably the most features found in any current 4K TV. Still, I cannot see how any part of this review warrants a perfect score.
yes if u have the money to go for minimum of 65" and want to put it within 2 meters of watching distance. u won't really see the difference between 1080p and 4k in a 55" or smaller tv even if it's as close as 2 meters away. there's a beautiful chart that compares viewing distances to resolution and human eye sight (20/20). look it up from google and u'll see 4k is rather useless for most situations
just like u can compare cars that all have 4 wheels. numbers aren't everything
Maybe Panasonic's top of the line a year or two from now might be worthy, otherwise you'll be waiting for a OLED set.

I must be candid here, but the transition and flow of this article needs work. It seems very choppy and jumps from one place to another. I had a lot of trouble following along. It is informative, but would someone mind reading this article through (other than the writer himself) and see if it does need work?* Thank you Mfiedor 10:51, 17 July 20
Toilets in Ancient Rome[edit]
I was wondering where the ancient Romans disposed of their urine and feces? I've heard about public toilets where the seats were made by marble. Marble was very cold and they had to keep slaves sitting on the toilet seats to warm them up for the free people. Is there any reality to this? Could someone please add this topic to the article? cun 21:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Well done![edit]
Well done to everyone who worked on this - this is a great example to our critics of how Wikipedia is generally reliable. Two, three, or more heads are better than one. Charlie123 11:59, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

In the Apenine peninsula, I presume. Religion is culture by any definition, so go right ahead, as long as its your own work. Zocky 01:25, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
Here's the article I've worked on for the Religion section. Tell me what you guys think about it. I not sure whether to put it under the religion heading or break it up and expand it to other sections or what, you guys tell me. So here it is:
Roman religious beliefs date back all the way to the founding of Rome, which in dates to around 1400 BC but the Roman religion commonly associated with the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire did not start forming until around 500 BC when Romans came in contact with Greek culture and adopted many of the Greek's religious beliefs including the representation of Greek gods in the form of humans.
Many of the gods that the Roman's worshiped were based on the gods the Greeks worshiped. The three central deities for Rome was the Roman god Jupiter (who was the god of rain, thunder, and lightning) who was called Zeus by the Greeks, the Roman god Mars (the good of warfare) who was called Ares by the Greeks, and the Roman god Quirinus (who watched over the senate house) who was one of the truly "Roman" gods who was associated with the people of Sabine and was also associated with the founder of Rome, Romulus (who was also a god).
When Rome began to expand its influence all over the Mediterranean Rome began accepting other foreign gods into their own culture, such as the Greek gods, and other religious traditions such as the Cynic and Stoic traditions. There were even attempts by many Roman and Greek philosophers to accept other gods that countered their religion such as the Jewish deity Yahweh (viewed as the only Supreme god by the Israelites) by stating that the Jews merely worshiped Jupiter but just under a different name and therefore there should be an acceptance of the Jewish culture. With the fall of the Roman Republic and the reign of the emperors which created theRoman Empire in 31 BC the Roman emperors were considered to be gods incarnate.
Two major philosophical schools of thought that derived from Greek religion and philosophy that became prominent in Rome in the 1st and 2nd century AD was Cynicism and Stoicism which, according to Cora Lutz were "fairly well merged" in the early years of the Roman Empire. Cynicism taught that civilization was corrupt and people needed to break away from it and it's trappings and Stoicism taught that one must give up all earthly goods by remaining detached from civilization and help others. Because of their negative views on civilization and of their way of life, in where many of them just wore a dirty cloak, carried a staff, and a coin purse, and slept outdoors, they were the targets of the Roman aristocracy and of the emperor and many were persecuted by the Roman government for being "subversive." The philosopher Lucian attacked the cynics in his book "The Philosophies for Sale" in which he mocked the cynics by stating "First...stripping you of your luxury...I will put a cloak on you...Next I will compel you to undergo pains and hardships, sleeping on the ground, drinking nothing but water...Leading this life you will say that your are happier than the Great King...Frequent the most crowded market place...and in [it] desire to be solitary and uncommunicative..."
Much of the Roman practices of their religion and philosophy lasted until the Roman Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official Roman religion for the Roman Empire in 313 AD. Prior to that Christianity had spread from the Roman province of Palestine, where it was heavily influenced by Judaism, until it started to pick up many beliefs from the Greeks as it was being spread throughout the Roman Empire. Stephensj74 22:38, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
- Most historians of the Roman religion would mention Etruscan practice, filtered and colored by Greek, both in popular religion and in the religion of the literate class. The Roman approach to religion is well discussed in A History of Private Life : 1. From Pagan Rome to Byzantium Paul Veyne, editor,(1987). It's availablein paperback over the Internet, and reading it would give some perspective. --Wetman 19:11, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
Article or a list of links[edit]
Is this going to be a list or a real article? Stancel 21:07, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
- Should be an article, probably containing some lists or links to lists. olivier 10:35, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
- In my opinion, although a "list" is ok at the initial state, ultimately COTW status and contributions should result into a complete article Culture of Ancient Rome--Bhadani 15:31, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
Government and Politics[edit]
I think we should leave out stuff on Roman government and poolitics. Ancient Rome looks like it's going to be COTW next week and that kind of material probably belongs there. I understand "culture" here in the narrow sense of arts and letters, not in the broad sense of "civilization". Zocky 08:19, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. The current organizatin of topics under the heading "Political life and public institutions" is not too fortunate anyway. I would insist, though, that the information on Roman law stays on the page. That is not just because I put it in, but because Roman law (much more than Roman politics) is a cultural aspect of Europe's Roman heritage. Maybe the info on Roman law could be combined with a few paragraphs on Roman political ideas that inspired later times. I would propose the folloing structure:
- Replace section "Politial life and public institutions" with the following:
==Political and legal institutions== ===The Roman republic===
- Should contain information on the basic features of the republic with emphasis on the way they influennced later times: E.G. the impact of the ideals of the republic on Cola di Rienzi, the French revolution, but also on Mussolini. No detailed info on the Roman magistrates and their respective roles.
===The Empire===
- As above. Sould focus on the idea of the Empire, which lived on in the byzantine Empire and in the western Holy Roman Empire.
===Roman law===
- Should stay as it is now.
- --Thomas Ruefner 11:07, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for the suggetions, I am doing the necessary changes in sections- and, as it is getting almost mid-night in India, I would place texts on sunday morning. One more request to all - I have edited a number of sections of the article, I request all concerned to go through the entire article, and effect changes/corrections, if any. Suggestions are also welcome. For a few more days, I may continue to work on this article. I desperately require open and free comments and suggestions. All suggestions, including some which I may also tender, may be placed under a separate section. By the way, I effected changes in this section of the talk page yesterday, without much thought - I thought, I was formatting this talk page. --Bhadani 19:19, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
I've been having second thoughts about government. Roman government should IMO be described here, but not chronicled in detail. Zocky 09:03, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
Request to verify an external link[edit]
An external link by 126.96.36.199 has been incerted on 13 May 2005. This may please be examined for relevancy by someone knowing that language. Thanks.--Bhadani 16:26, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
- well, it is sort of relevant, but arguably in the wrong language ! :p
- It talks about a German encyclopedia started in the 19th Century, about the "arts" (science) of classical Rome. It could be nice to translate the article, but as such, it is not very useful.
- Also, it is about a work about Culture of Ancient Rome, not about Culture of Ancient Rome itself... might be better off in "reference". Rama 17:54, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
Comments & Suggestions[edit]
- Hi all, comments and suggestions are desperately requested. Thanks. --Bhadani 06:13, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
- From today, I will take a break from this article for some days. Please comment on the article, and please contribute. Thanks.--Bhadani 09:01, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
This COTW[edit]
In few moments, this COTW shall come to an end, the article has become bigger and more informative, its size has also reached the optimum level as set by wikipedia. I did a lot of edits. I request interested editors to continue to work on the article, to incert images whereever required/copy edit/re-edit, remove and add edits - all aimed to make the article better. As stated earlier, I shall step aside from this article for the time being. Thanks to all who had placed sections, on which I could expand. --Bhadani 18:06, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
This article is a WHOLE lot better than it was.(In fact it was a pathetic list). I just wanted to say that those who edited over the course of its COTW did an excellent job. Falphin 22:18, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm new to this and am uncertain how to edit some passages in the Roman Culture entry.
In the first example, "I like cats" seems to be a mischievous assertion which can be deleted freely:
Later Ovid produced his Metamorphoses, written in dactylic hexameter verse, the meter of epic, I like cats. It was noted in classical times that Ovid's work lacked the gravitas possessed by traditional epic poetry
However, I hesitate to alter this other example, because I do not know the intent of the previous author(s):
The Arts
Literature Main article: Latin literature as the roman admired the greeks celebration of the human body,they still had less artists in their time.they bent the celebration to sport, and exposure, but kept to the lines of painting and sculpture.
Fflefever (talk) 03:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Social structure[edit]
Is there any direct authority (from historical sources) for the assertions that plebeians did not exist from a legal point of view in the times of the Roman kings? Even if there is, I think that there is much too much informqation on the earliest times (of which so little is known to us) and too little on the republican and later times (of which we know quite a lot). The article as it stands now gives the impression that plebeians were legal non-entities for most of Rome's existence. --Thomas Ruefner 16:50, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
What is our isn't "culture"?[edit]
Although there's a heck of a lot of good information here, the main problem with this article is that it's extremely vague, very close to being as vague as the top article of the Rome series, Ancient Rome. And considering how deficient Ancient Rome is in many respects, it almost seems like this argument is lowering the quality of the main Rome article by not integrating with it and having a somewhat arbitrary distinction between "culture" and "non-culture". People won't know what to come here to look for, and lots of the information that's here and not in Ancient Rome will never be found by people looking for it. So, we should be absolutely clear and what is and isn't Rome's "culture". Above all else, I'd say that the following things are certainly "cultural": art, music, literature, theatre, religion, language, and to a lesser extent, clothing, sports, etc. However, I'm not so sure that the following things are especially "cultural": social structure (I'd group that under "Society of ancient Rome", not "Culture" per se), political and legal institutions (would fit under "Government of ancient Rome" and possibly "Society" again, but really not so "cultural"), and Roman economy (again, if you're going for a vague and ill-defined concept, "social" fits much better here than "cultural").
In a lot of ways, though, it almost seems like this article is so generic that it won't help the readers who are actually searching for all this specific information, and could develop into a POV fork; that seems a shame, considering how much great work went into this article. It's very slightly tempting to consider merging this article into Ancient Rome just to make all the info and formating consistent and integrate a lot of redundant information, and then to re-summarize and compact it by making new sub-articles for more specific topics (like "Roman family", "Roman sports", "Roman clothing"). It just seems like a single "hub" would be much more efficient and ensure stability and comprehensiveness. I certainly won't take any drastic action, but I'd love to hear what others think about this. -Silence 02:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Traces in the cultures of Romance countries?[edit]
I think it would be a good idea if there were a paragraph or two about common traits that were pasted down to the cultures of Romance speaking countries from Ancient Roman culture.
Is there an expert out there who can perhaps add a section on the "morality" of Ancient Rome since I believe this is an interesting topic? I have read in bits and pieces from various sources about the vast differences between the pre-Christian moral concepts compared to our moral concepts. For example, the ancient Romans tended to see "compassion" as a defect of character instead valuing courage and, to some extent "ruthlessness" (albeit not necessarily dishonesty).
Anyway, I'm not an expert in these matters but it seems an important aspect of the culture. --Mcorazao 16:54, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Good request. Tough to do. I would, however, point to clementia, important to both Julius Caesar and Seneca, contra your remark about compassion, though clementia is more like "mercy" or rather restraining yourself from being vindictive; "ruthlessness" would probably be more severitas or such, which meant being stern. As Mary Beard pointed out in a recent book, tradition held that the Romans of the early to mid-Republic were a stern lot, not given to a lot of schoolboy giggling. I think it was the father or grandfather of the famous Crassus who was supposed to have laughed out loud only once in his life — and then at his own joke. It was a pretty feeble joke, too, so a certain cluelessness and lack of wit seems indicated. Cynwolfe (talk) 14:06, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
November 14[edit]
The IP needs to stop and discuss. Or at least read Religion in ancient Rome before you say something this uninformed: Roman religion was largely a continuation of various religious beliefs from ancient Greece. It borrowed both from the state religion of Greece that was very cold, abstract, and formal; and it borrowed from the more passionate and emotional religious practices of the Greek East that would help to formulate the ideals of Christianity. Less-sophisticated Romans were known to be superstitious, partly due to encouragement of superstition by the Roman state religion and by various self-proclaimed prophets, oracles, and diviners. This is not the best source on ancient Roman religion. Cynwolfe (talk) 23:08, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- And all the edits are coming from this single book. This is not the way to build a balanced article: see WP:UNDUE. Cynwolfe (talk) 23:16, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- And the preface to that book states its purpose: The conviction behind this book is that the Roman mind is still at work, profoundly influencing, in ways we are not always aware of, our politics, our diplomacy, our art and literature, our religious and philosophical attitudes... In short, it's a treatise on modern Westen culture, with a thesie about our essential nature; it's also a fifty year old polemic.
- Unsurprisingly, it cannot be relied upon as a source for this article. Such claims as it makes about Rome are in service to its thesis; they should be taken with a grain of salt.
- Errors produced by this excessive reliance on a man writing out of his field range from the date of the Gallic attack (391 BC) to the claim that the Romans were devoted to one-man executives in a way that the Greeks (with their Hellenistic kingship) and the Persians (under the Great King) were not. In fact, what marks Rome is an absense of one-man executives: even the heads of state were two consuls, advised by a Senate. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 06:06, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

It's hard to go to the grocery store these days and not see someone carrying reusable bags. More and more people are becoming conscious about the harm that plastic does to our environment and have started carrying reusable totes to the grocery store with them. I've wanted to get some of these bags for a while now, however given the size and design of most standard bags, I feel like I would need approximately 50 to carry my groceries home in! When I was contacted by SnapSac to do a review of their reusable totes, I jumped at the chance because they have some really cute bags that are available in many sizes.
About SnapSac
SnapSac was created by founding member of 1 Bag at a Time, Lisa Foster. Foster started the SnapSac division to provide a more stylish reusable tote bag that also maintains great functionality for the shopper and offers them an eco-friendly way to carry their goods.
Since carrying a reusable tote has gone from a trend, to a standard in today's society, SnapSac fulfills several consumer needs in a tote. They currently offer 6 sizes of bags to choose from with two different color theme selections.
SnapSac Totes
I love the colors of these totes! I received the "Pop" collection, but they also have a "Neutral" color combo to choose from. I unsnapped them all and lined them up according to actual size.
The Mega Tote is huge. I love it! It totally eliminates the need of carrying several reusable bags when I just need a small amount of stuff!
I also took a photo of the inside of the bags, each one has a pocket where you can store your wallet (or whatever) and snap it closed.
I love the way that the snaps are used for so many things for these bags. The snaps are for folding them up and storing them, for keeping the inside pocket closed while you are shopping and you can snap the top together when you get your groceries back to the car so they don't spill out all over the place (a common problem we have with plastic sacks).
Here is a photo of the Mega Tote open
It has a TON of room! I have even used it as an overnight bag to hold me AND my daughters clothes!
These totes can be purchased on the SnapSac website or on Amazon.com. The prices range from $2.99 – $9.99 a bag and you can also purchase them in sets.
Which tote bag do you like the best?

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - February 26, 1985, New Braunfels, Texas New Bfaunt els HmaM-Zeitung T uesday, February 26,1985 Dear Abby President Reagan Sends His Dollars to March of Dimes DEAR ABBY: Although I've en joyed your column for many years and consider myself a fan, I haven't often had the occasion to sit down and pen a "Dear Abby" letter of my own. But like most of your readers, I have some hope I'll see my message in print anyway. As a result of your plea in a recent column, I received an avalanche of birthday greetings. I deeply appreciate this outpouring of friendship and good will. The response by your readers to your request was truly heartwarming, and I hope they'll understand why I cannot possibly thank them all individually for helping make this Feb. 6 especially memorable. Please pass on to your readers my gratitude for their many cards and kind words. I am also grateful to you for taking the opportunity to encourage public support for the important work of the March of Dimes. As you know, January 1985 was March of Dimes Birth Defects Prevention Month. In honor of this observance, I urged all Americans to support the efforts of this organization in the battle against birth defects. The response to this call—especially as shown by the mail we received at the White House—has been truly outstanding. Although we cannot acknowledge the many writers who sent contributions to the White House for the March of Dimes, I want you and them to know that we have turned over their donations to the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation for use in its research program. Your readers can best help the March of Dimes in the future by sending donations directly to: March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation, PO. Box '2000, White Plains, N Y 10602. This will alleviate any delay in those contributions reaching the March of Dimes, and it will also solve the tremendous logistical problems that arise when monetary items of any kind are sent to my attention at the White House. Your readers' cooperation in this request will make my stuff much happier, and it will also allow the March of Dimes to get to work immediately on the vitul activities your readers are supporting. Thanks again for ult the birthday greetings, and God bless you and your many readers. Sincerely, RONALD REAGAN Horoscope DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: Thank you for your gracious letter. The March of Dimes is profoundly grateful to you for making this year's March of Dimes the most successful since its goal has been the prevention of birth defects—our nation's No. I child health problem. DEAK ABBY: I feel great! I sent a check to the president for the March of Dimes. I didn't send a dollar, I sent five—one for me, and four more for others who can't afford to. PAULA K., ODESSA. TEXAS DEAR ABBY: After reading how the March of Dimes began. I sat down and wrote a check for $5 ($1 for each of my healthy sons), and I was amazed at the feeling it gave me.

FERNANDO ALONSO says Sunday's Korean Grand Prix will be the first race in a
new "mini championship" to decide who will wear Formula One's crown.
The Ferrari star has seen his lead in the points table all but wiped out after
a slump in scoring and the explosive form of Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
Most in the F1 paddock, including Red Bull boss Christian Horner, now see the
title race as a straight shoot-out between Alonso and Vettel.
Spaniard Alonso, who speared off the track at the first corner in the Japanese
Grand Prix, had to watch race winner Vettel move within four points of his
He said: "The result practically wiped out the advantage I had before.
"But if I'd been told at the start of the season that we would have been in
this situation five races from the end, I'd have happily signed for it.
"Now we start a sort of mini championship, run over five Grands Prix.
"The aim will be to score at least one point more than all the others. What
happened to us at Suzuka could happen to the others next time. The wheel
turns and that is what races are all about.
"We must work a lot on the development of the car. I'm not worried but we must
react to the step forward other competitors have made."
Despite Alonso's recent misfortune, which included being taken out of the
Belgian Grand Prix by F1's ram raider Romain Grosjean, both Horner and
Vettel believe the Spaniard remains a serious threat to their potential
hat-trick of titles.
Horner said: "The championship now is effectively a battle of five races
between Fernando and Sebastian.
"You can't rule out the others but whoever does the best job over the next
five races will ultimately prevail.
"Fernando is a very shrewd and formidable opponent and over a season luck
tends to balance itself out."
Vettel insisted he is still "very cautious".
He said: "We have had a long journey so far and it has been a tough year.
"There are still many races to go so I don't want to talk about the
"I know I finished in front of everyone at Suzuka but you don't know what
happens next weekend.
"We have a very tough remainder of the season with a very new calendar for all
of us, with a lot of back-to-back races."

Suspension on a 2010 Islander HELP!
I recently bought a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Islander edition and I am in love but I think it is time to start looking into some modifications.
I am new to Jeep Forum, but it looked pretty cool and helpful so I thought I'd try it out :punk:
I want a little suspension on my Jeep, between 1.5"-2", and I don't know the best way to go about this.
I was told to do spacers but I have heard some negative impacts spacers have, so I was wondering if a lift kit would be my only other alternative?
I hardly know anything about spacers, or lift kits, ect. so please inform me and give me some advice on what I should do :confused::confused::confused:
This is a great place to get info! If you search the forum you will find all the info you could ever need. Literally hundreds of threads on this with people in your same position.
If you want the best possible ride it is usually best to go with coils (not cheap coils). If you are mainly for looks or on a budget go with coil spaces. You can always go with coils later and sell the spacers and recoup some of your money. I know many people that are happy with just spacers and wheel the shit out of their jeep. You need to answer a few questions like whats the largest tire size you plan on going with. You can go with flat fenders and a 2" lift and run 33'-35" tires just fine. I went with 2.5" TF coils with 35" tires ,then added Bushwacker Flat flares. If you go with 2.5" of lift or taller plan on getting a front adjustable track bar if it is not part of the lift.
4351 Attachment(s)
Look no further.. HURRY. Rancho's rebate is about to end. People are grabbing this lift off amazon and with the rebate are very happy.

Poor weather in the UK impacts farming incomes
New figures that have been recently released have shown that the poor weather conditions in the UK over the last few years have had a significant impact on farm incomes.
The statistics, which were featured in Defra's latest Farm Business Income report, have however shown that there have been some signs of recovery.
But the NFU chief economist Phil Bicknell has spoken out to say that it is important that these stats are put into context.
He said that the "Poor weather conditions hit all farm businesses in 2012/13 and we saw a 30 per cent decrease in average profits as costs spiralled and output fell.
"The forecasts indicate some sectors are showing signs of recovery, but even with increases in income across the beef and sheep sector, profitability still falls some way short of 2011/12 levels."
According to Mr Bicknell, pig and dairy producers in the UK have received some good news. He said that have seen year on year increases of 90 and 96% respectively. This means the dairy sector has reversed the trend that was seen in 2012/13 when the incomes fell by 40%.
"Although improved planting figures bode well for the upcoming harvest, incomes for arable producers are estimated to fall further, linked to lower commodity prices and the UK's lowest wheat harvest for over a decade." He continued.
"It is vital we have viable and successful farming businesses at the foundation of our agri-food sector. As an industry, agriculture has performed strongly through the recession with our contribution to the economy increasing by a staggering 54 per cent between 2007 and 2012. Some exceptional climatic challenges have dampened performance in the short term, but the forecasts show the resilience of our industry and demonstrate how some sectors are making steps towards recovery."

18:00 10th December 2011
Manchester United 4 (Nani 17, 56, Rooney 27, 62)
Wolves 1 (Fletcher 47)
Wolves felt the backlash of Manchester United's Champions League exit as the reigning Barclays Premier League Champions ran out as comfortable 4-1 winners against a Molineux side unable to build on Steven Fletcher's goal shortly after the interval.
Karl Henry returned after his one game suspension in the place of Stephen Hunt who was named as a substitute. The other change to Mick McCarthy's starting line-up saw Roger Johnson returning in the place of the injured Jody Craddock.
United kicked-off defending the Stretford End but it was Wolves that had the first chance of the game after just 25 seconds when Kevin Doyle laid the ball into the path of Fletcher who fired wide from 25-yards out.
United responded with a low cross-shot from Nani that went right through the six-yard box and out for a goal-kick on the other side.
In the seventh minute Michael Carrick sent a flying header narrowly over following a centre from Antonio Valencia, then Wayne Hennessey had to dive full length to cling on to a Wayne Rooney effort from just outside the box.
There was another chance for Rooney when he won a challenge with Henry but Hennessey got his fingertips to the ball and turned it behind for a corner.
United took the lead in the 17th minute when Nani ran past three Wolves men on the edge of the boxbefore turning and hitting a low shot into the corner of the net.
Ten minutes later it was two as Rooney found the time and space to beat Hennessey from inside the 'D'.
Dave Edwards was clearly struggling with injury and he was replaced by Nenad Miljaš after 32 minutes.
Hennessey made another save to deny Rooney and Fletcher's head back into the danger zone after a Matt Jarvis cross was cleared by the United defence.
In first half stoppage time, a Jarvis corner was punched out by David De Gea and Jamie O'Hara's follow up bounced clear off a defender.
Half-Time: United 2 Wolves 0
Two minutes after the restart Fletcher reduced the deficit with a powerful header following a deep cross from Jarvis.
But there was another chance for United when Phil Jones delivered a cross that just eluded the outstretched foot of Danny Welbeck.
On 57 minutes United restored their two goal advantage as Nani gave Hennessey no chance as he turned home a cross from Valencia.
Hennessey saved from Jonny Evans and then Valancia drove wide as United looked to press home their advantage and in the 62nd minute Rooney did that as he tucked the ball away after another centre from Valancia.
De Gea was well positioned to save a low shot from Milijaš who had been set up by Doyle, and then Hennessey made a good save from Welbeck who had jinked himself into a scoring position.
O'Hara had a shot saved by De Gea shortly before he was replaced by Hunt.
Wolves were trying hard to cut United's lead and De Gea saved a Fletcher header before Sylvan Ebanks-Blake was sent on in place of the Scottish striker.
There was a chance for Hunt when he volleyed a Jarvis cross towards goal but Evans managed to block. But at that stage there was no way back for Wanderers.
United: De Gea, Evra (capt) (Fryers 67), Jones, Ferdinand, Evans, Rooney, Smalling, Carrick, Nani (Young 77), Welbeck (Macheda 74), Valencia.
Unused subs: Giggs, Park, Gibson, Lindegaard.
Booking: Ferdinand (90 - foul).
Wolves: Hennessey, Zubar, Ward, Edwards (Milijaš 32), Berra, Johnson (capt), Jarvis, O'Hara (Hunt 71), Fletcher (Ebanks-Blake 77), Doyle Henry.
Unused subs: Elokobi, Stearman, Hammill, De Vries.
Referee: M. Oliver.
Attendance: 75,627.
Manchester City Academy Under 18s 6 Wolves 1 (Ismail)
Academy goalkeeping coach, Aled Williams, looks back on how the season went for the Wolves Academy goalkeepers.
Dan Copnall says there were plenty of positives to take from the Under 18's final game of the season, despite losing 2-1 away at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Wolves Under 18s confirmed the Merit League title with one game to spare as they beat Newcastle United last weekend.
Scott Sellars is remaining upbeat despite his Under 23's 5-4 penalty-shootout defeat to Leamington FC in the final of the Birmingham Senior Cup on Wednesday.
Scott Sellars reflects on his side's 2-1 defeat to West Ham United on Monday in the Premier League 2 play-off semi-final.
