Archive of discussions from Muppet Wiki:Quality article nominations.
Is Cookie Monster now the Veggie Monster?
- Nomination: This article's come a long a way, and I think we've built it up really well. Lots of pictures and sources. —Scott (talk) 19:13, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: I agree! It's funny that this issue keeps coming up as if it's new all the time. We're doing important work here. -- Danny (talk) 19:37, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: We must protect our precious cookies! --Justin 20:02, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: Just a thought, though. I still support it as a quality article, but can anything be added to this paragraph, or could the sentence possibly be merged with another paragraph, as it sort of stands out in an odd way, and doesn't really say a whole lot. "Snopes.com, a popular website that debunks "urban legends", posted an article on the Cookie Monster rumor in March 2007." --Justin 20:04, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: Thanks for removing that sentence and adding the link at the bottom. Now it has my full support, 100%. --Justin 02:39, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: I love this page, too! I had no idea people were asking him to change his diet as far back as 1972! -- Ken (talk) 04:43, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: I think its a great article, and I'm sure it will become one of our most researched ones every time someone stirs up the rumor mill again. -- Nate (talk) 15:34, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
Time travel
- Nomination: This is a very fun, interesting, well-written and comprehensive collection of time travel in the Muppet universe. Add to that a nice look at time travel in productions connected to the Muppets. Scott put a lot of thought into this page, and so I think it should receive a Fred. --Justin 14:08, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Support Justin beat me to the nomination. I think its a great article, and just the type we can have fun with here. -- Nate (talk) 14:29, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: Such a fun article! And with lots of room for growth. It's already becoming one of my faves. — Joe (talk) 20:02, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Nomination: After looking over the article again today, and spring training right around the corner, I'd like to nominate the article. It's a very comprehensive listing of baseball in the muppet universe. From Baseball Players who have appeared with the Muppets, examples of the game being played, references to sports teams, merchandise related to baseball, and storylines based around the game, its just a very fun, interesting, and informative read. -- Nate (talk) 18:08, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: I agree that it looks pretty darn good, but there's still a few images missing from the Baseball Players gallery at the bottom, as well as a few red links throughout. Once those are filled in, I'd support it. --Justin 18:25, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: I removed the redlinks. One was for Basketball, which is an article I've not tackled yet but will be forthcoming, the other was an episode link that Enrique added, which is for an article that I'm sure he will be adding in the future. There are two baseball players we don't have pictures of, and they are from episodes from the 1970's which I'm sure we will add at some point. In the meantime, a "photo not available" placecard is in the gallery for their spot. Not something that I think detracts from the article. -- Nate (talk) 18:38, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: I think it's a pretty amazing article. I know you already trimmed some from the lead-in, but there's still no Muppet content above the fold. If we want to keep that stuff for the connections, can we move it further down in the article? —Scott (talk) 01:03, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: Yeah, it's a great article, but I agree with Scott, some Muppet stuff higher would help. Maybe use an approach closer to China and Ice cream, where it's more integrated, rather then "Here's background with a lot of connected links, and here's a list." I'll try to tackle it later, but some amusing lines, describing the Muppets' baseball game with the Fabulous Baseball Diamond in The Great Muppet Caper. Also, right now all the images on the side collide with the player gallery. I'd say either jettison some of those (the Robin Williams pic for example isn't that exciting or amusing) or convert to a gallery of its own before the players list (which is really more amusing and interesting than the random pictures of characters in baseball caps or gloves). While some of the stuff may be better as dry lists, a lot of the character stuff can be reworked and moved up in the article. Combine a lot of the "Elmo and baseball" or "Big Bird and baseball" stuff into a more narrative form (even working it within the history of baseball you already have, perhaps) since a lot of those simple sentences seem to blend together after awhile and some are kind of bland. I *really* like this passage, though: "Baby Bear asks Telly to play baseball, and he convinces Baby Bear to let Freddy play baseball with them. The doll's baseball skills prove to be sorely lacking in episode 4121." Clearer subheadings might help too (for the books and animated stuff which feels kind of just jammed in right now).
- I'm too tired to do much today. You've done a great job, Nate, and I think it's really *close* to quality, since it's exhaustive and impeccably thorough so all the material is there. It's just some of that material, both visual and written, could use some sprucing up (which if we pitch in, I'm sure it can be done within the nomination period). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 01:21, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: Just chiming in to agree with pretty much everybody. :) It has the makings of a Quality article, but needs some more work to get Muppet content higher. Nate and I talked about cutting down the intro on Talk:Baseball in December, and he cut it from five paragraphs to three. I understand the appeal of having lots of links to surprising places, but I think it's better to focus on the baseball-related links (Casey at the Bat, players and stadiums, Who's on First). We can take out all the sentences that are just there to add non-related links (Canada, Australia, Olympic Games, Time magazine). I took a pass at a completely ruthless trim; we can see how it looks. -- Danny (talk) 11:48, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: Hmmmm, without the extra info that was removed, now there's a new problem. At least in my browser, the baseball players gallery is pushed really far away from its heading.--Justin 14:36, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: Oops, sorry; that was my bad. I took out a couple of pictures; it lines up now. -- Danny (talk) 16:29, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: Since the changes, I'm now in support of this article for Quality status. Nice job! —Scott (talk) 20:00, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
- Support --Justin 00:26, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
Santa Claus
- Nomination: This article was nominated back in 2007, and I think it has progressed even further now. Nice summeries of all appearances of Santa, representations of Santa by the Muppets, print appearances, and connections. -- Nate (talk) 21:13, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Support: I agree; I think it's a fantastic page. It's not a deep page as far as text goes, but the breadth of references and abundance of pictures makes it really fun and definitely worth reading and highlighting. -- Danny (talk) 22:13, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Support: I agree. It deserves to be a quality article. And for some reason I thought it already was. --Minor muppetz 22:24, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Support: Ditto all the above. Michael, it was nominated way back, as Nate noted, but Danny wanted more text. The fact that it was nominated in July, and thus the Christmas spirit factor didn't enter into it, was likely part of it as well. :) -- Andrew Leal (talk)
Mickey Mouse
- Nominate: A study of how the mouse and the frog have interacted and relate to each other, and where they intersect, with some choice images. One of the best pages we have right now for a celebrity, cartoon character, and point of reference. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 09:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Support: A agree with everything the nominator said. --Minor muppetz 15:07, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Support: I agree also. It is a great article on this great cartoon character. --Rocket Stevo 18:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Support: I'm quite proud of our work on this one. A fun, informative and extensive list of Mickey's relationship with the Muppets. —Scott (talk) 04:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support, wow. It's really grown since I last read it. Who knew there were so many connections? -- Zanimum 01:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Monsterpiece Theater
- Nominate: I thought this page is quality since this page has all the pictures of all the known sketches and the description of each sketch is written well. Its quality is almost similar to Sesame Street News Flash, but for this one, we have all the pictures of all the Monsterpiece sketches that we know and I think it was a hard work page that most of the people on the Wikia helped contribute together on. Anyone agrees or disagrees? -- Rocket Stevo 04:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment and Support: Great idea! Good thinking. Should we just wait until we upload Seasons 15-32! Webkinz Mania 16:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- What do you mean, upload seasons 15-32? -- Zanimum 01:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Support: I agree. And they all also say what the sketch titles are based on. --Minor muppetz 19:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Ditto. Thorough and informative -- Andrew Leal (talk) 09:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Support, very complete. -- Zanimum 01:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Pinball Number Count
Nominated Jan. 16th, closes on Jan. 31st
- Nominate: I cleaned it up (although it does need some more—there are still lots of spelling and usage errors), added the solos for each segment, and added the wallpaper, so I think it deserves a nomination. What do you think? Peace —MuzikJunky 07:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Well-researched, with little known info about one of Sesame Street's best known memories. --MuppetVJ 07:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support: It truly is one of Sesame Street's best-known memories. It would be great if an image for the 8 sketch could be included (even if none of us have a copy, one of us could at least include a still of the number 8 from one of the counting sequences used in all these segments), but otherwise it's a good page. --Minor muppetz 13:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Although #8 needs some kind of picture. -- Brad D. (talk) 16:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: Last I checked, a still from #8 was added. Peace. —MuzikJunky 07:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Sesame Street News Flash
Nominated Dec. 20th, vote closes Jan. 3rd
- Nominate: This page now has over 80 entries, which is more than anyone can remember. --MuppetVJ 17:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support: This page is very detailed, and I think that there are more individual news segments than any other recurring Sesame Street sketch. --Minor muppetz 15:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Once again, we've compiled the most comprehensive list on the web. I look forward to hunting down the remaining screenshots for the known sketches, and unearthing those we haven't filed yet. Until then, this is still an example of some of our best collaborative efforts. —Scott (talk) 03:31, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Wow! I never knew there were that many! This gets my vote! -- Ken (talk) 05:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I still support my vote, but there is something that I am concerned about, and don't know if I should put "citation needed" tags there, or reword this part, or what. But it says on the article that the segments began in 1971. I've read on various message boards for years that these segments were first shown in the third season, but the earliest known appearance of any of these skits is a season four episode. Sure, it's possible that none of the papers found at the CTW Archives mention Newsflash sketches in the third season episodes (especially since they don't list every sketch in every episode, and since only half of the seasons episodes have info found there), and only two fourth season episodes are listed here (and only one fifth season episode is listed). Quite a few fans seem to think that the Rupunzel sketch was the first one (and I am one of them, despite not having any official source), and Old School: Volume 1 includes that sketch, listed as a "season four classic cut". Unless the people compiling the bonus skits made a mistake, that would either mean that these skits weren't first shown in the third season, or that the Rupunzel skit wasn't the first one. Also, it's said that "The Tortose and the Hare" was a prototype for these segments, but again with no source (and the earleist known appearance is a season six episode). Unless we can find a source, we should probably change this paragraph or something.--Minor muppetz 15:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Ice cream
Nominated Nov. 21st, vote closes Dec. 5th
- Nominate: A summary of all things ice cream. The picture of Zoe dropping ice cream on Telly's head alone is a reason to give this Quality status. -- Danny (talk) 21:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Amazing work, especially in such a short amount of time. Everyone likes ice cream. —Scott (talk) 21:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Support: No matter who they be. I did some minor tweaks, but despite Mark's stated concerns, I agree that it's already a quality article (which doesn't mean it can't still be improved little by little, but as stands, it's an excellent and amusing read and a thorough overview of the topic as related to the Muppet universe). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:56, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I just went back and reread the article, and it turns out most of my unhappiness was minor, and the vast majority has been tweaked enough by others that it doesn't bug me any more. I made two little minor changes, and now I'm a lot happier with the page. Thanks to all for the feedback and such. Stay tuned for balloons. -- Mark (talk) 03:18, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Muppet*Vision 3D
Nominated on November 2, vote closes November 16
- Nominate -- Brad D. (talk) 18:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Another great article that I recently thought was good enough to be a quality article. Very detailed in the description. And one of the Muppets' best productions that has never been released on video or DVD. --Minor muppetz 21:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I worked quite a bit on this article a ways back, so I may be tooting my own horn, but I think it's a very comprehensive article, especially in its comparisons of the East Coast and West Coast versions. I think that the movie "synopsis" itself may be a bit overdetailed, in fact. I may take a look at reigning that in a bit. -- Peter (talk)
- Support: I know I'm late to the party (I always forget to look at this page), but this article appears comprehensive. -- Mark (talk) 11:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
The Big Bad Wolf
Nominated on October 18, vote closes November 8
- Nominate: This is one of those articles that's been built slowly, by a lot of different contributors. Lots of people added little bits of information, which have all come together into a complete biography of the character -- including information on appearances, performers and puppet design. It could actually use some more organizational work -- it would be nice to reorganize it a bit and split into subheadings, to help break up the text -- but I'm hoping that this nomination will motivate somebody to do that. But it's a good example of wiki collaboration making a heap of facts into an interesting page, and with a little bit more love, I think it will be one of our best. -- Danny (talk) 12:56, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support: It would be great if such minor characters could get awarded quality articles. --Minor muppetz 14:26, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Yeah, I dig it. I think a clearer definition can be made of the fact that the role of the BBW is played by many different "actors" depending on how he's needed. But it's looking good and isn't exempt from being made even better. —Scott (talk) 06:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Ditto. -- Brad D. (talk) 18:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I would just like to point out that this vote closes on November 8, and it's already past that date. I don't know if poeple just forgot about this or what. But it looks like it should be awarded now. --Minor muppetz 23:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Global Grover
Nominated on October 25, vote closes November 8
- Nominate: A few weeks ago, I expanded this to the sketches format, broke out the DVD collection and verified a complete list of segments. Some of the entries could use a little extra in terms of a description, but what they've got now is pretty solid. The leader text is comprehensive, well sourced and informative. The list of segments is complete, and it's a worthy subject for Quality status. —Scott (talk) 06:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I agree. I was just looking at this page a week ago thinking that it would make a good quality article. And I think I've read on some people's talk pages that the sketch listing is complete. How many other recurring Sesame Street sketch pages include info on every individual sketch? --Minor muppetz 14:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Yeah, this is a great article. The pictures look fantastic, and it's great information. I like that the opening text has a lot of references. -- Danny (talk) 20:16, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: It looks great! The only thing I see missing, in order to really cover the entire topic, would be info on where it airs as a stand alone show. The international aspect is interesting, but could use a little more info. However, I will likely change my vote to "support" before voting closes anyway. And I too like all the references. -- Brad D. (talk) 22:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't think a list of countries in which it airs is relevant. We'd never be able to track down all of them, so it would always be incomplete. I think it's enough that we know from press information that Sesame Workshop has distributed them internationally. —Scott (talk) 22:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support/Comment: Ditto what Scott had said. There's Poland, for one, and it seems it airs as a stand alone in some English-speaking nations (England, Australia, etc.), but I'd rather have just the current note than an incomplete list. Elmo's World likewise airs as a stand-alone all over, but while we have seperate pages for the known dubs, it's currently not practical to list every country where it airs as such. In general, in both cases, it seems to apply to most countries, most of which don't have the more regimented format of the more recent Sesame Street seasons. If at some point a full list comes along, it can be added, and anything else that's discovered. But as stands, it's already a quality article. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 02:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support/Comment: I agree it isn't required or super significant information here - if it was simply a short list of half a dozen or so countries (which is sounds like it isn't) it would be nice to have it, but if it's a long (and constantly evolving) list then it doesn't make sense (and an incomplete list is silly too). However some more information (even like a number range of countries) to show how wide-spread the stand-alone is would be nice (not necessary, but nice), however Sesame Workshop doesn't seem to make that information readily available and there is no point in wasting time/energy trying to compile the list ourselves. I didn't know much about the international scope of the stand-alone (or what data was out-there and easy to cite and add), so I thought I would just bring it up. But regardless the article is great, it is in-depth, it is complete, it is well written, it is well sourced, it is quality work, it is fun to read, it is a great resource and I totally support it. -- Brad D. (talk) 18:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Nominate: A great page about a great character. -- Danny (talk) 12:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support: A vast improvement, and like Rowlf the Dog, a good model as we gradually try to improve the pages for all the main characters who have been neglected. My only gripe is the citation tag for the bit about the eyes; though it's not in the guidelines and may be just a personal preference, I don't like the idea of "Quality Articles" having citation tags. I think that statement should either be sourced or removed before this gets Quality status. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I looked at this page recently and thought that this page should become a quality article, and now it's got a nomination! It gets my vote. --Minor muppetz 22:24, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I agree about the unsourced info. I moved that bit to the talk page, and posted a message on the talk page of the user who posted it. -- Danny (talk) 23:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I dimly remember him being on The Muppet Show, but I didn't know much else about him, since I hadn't seen The Muppet Show since the original run, so I mostly remembered him running after Kermit and the gang in The Muppet Movie (which I've seen a bunch of times). I totally forgot about his appearance in The Frog Prince, since I hadn't seen that in years either. I really learned a lot from this article. -- Ken (talk) 04:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Mystery Science Theater 3000
- Nominate: Painstakingly detailed original research, with information you can't find anywhere else. It's only interesting to people who like MST3K, of course, so if you don't know the show, then you don't care about the article. But I think people who know the show will find this valuable and entertaining. -- Danny (talk) 13:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support: My only quibble is the image for Star Force: Fugitive Alien II. It shows the title card for the movie, but the description suggests the Muppet relevance lies entirely within the frame scenes. Is it possible to get an image of the cue-card drawing of Rowlf? Other than that, it's a well organized page, and even if you're not a huge fan, fun to browse through and see the variety of Muppet references, from dialogue quips to a Cookie Monster toy. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:38, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Unfortunately, there are two episodes that I don't have right now -- Star Force and It Lives By Night. They're not available on DVD, so I'm going to see if I can get them from another source. Those two images are placeholders for the moment. -- Danny (talk) 23:23, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I love this page, and I also wanted to make a comment. I've never seen the show, and I still think this page is interesting. I love the idea of making wisecracks while you're watching horrible movies, and this page has a bunch of lines (and pictures) that make me laugh out loud. It might even make me want to actually watch some of these movies! -- Ken (talk) 03:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Like I said earlier on Danny's talk page, this is everything this wiki can be. Seriously, just count the screenshots -- there are few Muppet production pages on this wiki with such complete illustration. -- Mark (talk) 01:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Nominate: A detailed list of references and appearances, plus great images and all around fun. -- Brad D. (talk) 18:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I agree, it's a great article. We've put a lot of work into this one, especially Scott. -- Danny (talk) 18:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support:Me, too. It's a fantastic article, full of great details and images. -- MuppetDude 19:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Very well done -- even the connections list is fascinating to read. -- Mary Catherine (talk) 02:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Mr. Bimbo
- Nominate: A complete and comprehensive look at the man in a bear's finger. -- Brad D. (talk) 18:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I really like this article. I like the behind-the-scenes photo, and there are some great sources. I was hoping that somebody would nominate this. --Minor muppetz 22:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Yeah, this works for me. It's got good photos, and I like the quotes. -- Danny (talk) 18:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support: It's so insane it works; it's well written, has good images, and we don't even see the central character! -- MuppetDude 19:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Sesame Street Singles
- Nominate: I think that this page, along with the album page, is the only one of its kind on the Web, and it's certainly the most complete listing I've ever seen. -- Ken (talk) 06:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support: This is original research, exactly the kind of thing that Muppet Wiki should be. It's detailed and comprehensive -- and as Ken says, it's the first time this information has ever been collected in one place. -- Danny (talk) 12:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Given the rarity of some of the items, the ratio of images to blanks is surprisingly high. The list itself seems pretty darn thorough, and the header text provides useful context. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 12:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I agree with all that's been said. --Minor muppetz 23:27, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Thorough, concise, neat. —Scott (talk) 19:02, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Muppet Eyes
- Nominate -- Brad D. (talk) 03:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support: --Minor muppetz 13:41, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: It's a fantastic article, with a comprehensive survey of the different kinds of eyes that are used. It's well-sourced, with lots of quotes. However, I think the writing needs a little more polish. I just did an edit on it, and I think it would be good if somebody else also gives it a once-over. I also added a cite tag for one spot. Once that's done, I'll be happy to give this article enthusiastic support. -- Danny (talk) 14:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I just made a pass at some touch-ups on the text and it looks good enough to me right now that I can support a nomination for Qualty status. —Scott (talk) 00:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Yeah, it's great now! It's still got one open citation tag on it... I'll post a talk page question about it. -- Danny (talk) 13:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Muppet Meeting Films
- Nominate: It's got everything that makes this wiki great: images, quotes and information condensed into a neat table format. --MuppetVJ 17:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Lots of information, and fantastic pictures. A comprehensive look at a little-known piece of Muppet history. -- Danny (talk) 01:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Thorougly covered; again, while the text basis was good to start with, the table and the images put this over the top. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 18:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Ditto previous comments. —Scott (talk) 18:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Mahna Mahna (song)
- Nominate: This page gives thorough coverage of a classic Muppet routine. -- Brad D. (talk) 18:47, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
Minor TV Mentions
- Nominate: It now has 100 entries ... --MuppetVJ 15:09, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
NBC Pipes
- Nominate: This page is a loving tribute to one of the oldest surviving creations by Jim Henson and his fellow artists. That it hasn't been torn down in 46 years during all of the changes at NBC is a minor miracle. And now it has been preserved for future generations. -- Ken (talk) 04:45, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose (temporary): This is a fantastic page, very detailed, great research, great pictures. I'm opposing right now just because we don't have enough sources listed on the page. The quote from The Works is cited, but there aren't any other references. Once the references are added, then I would absolutely support this as a Quality article. -- Danny (talk) 16:20, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
- Comment: I believe all the sources are in the video links. —Scott (talk) 19:50, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
- Support: Fantastic page, very detailed and thorough coverage. -- Brad D. (talk) 18:47, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
The King of Eight
- Nominate: Detailed coverage and research on a classic Henson animated segment. -- Brad D. (talk) 04:26, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
- Nomination: January was the time when I first nominated the article and it has been great then as many people edited then. It filled up the Recent Changes list with help by Danny and some other users. It looks great right now with lots of information, sections and images. Webkinz Mania 22:33, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose: This article is still a work in progress. There are several years left blank, one redlink and a mismatch of references creating an unbalance. —Scott (talk) 05:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: For the record, how often an article was edited, how many users edited it, or filling up Recent Changes aren't signs of a Quality Article. The full criteria is here and includes comprehensiveness. Something like "Monsterpiece Theater" may still have an omission, but it includes every known sketch and ekas for the majority, and the same for Sesame Street News Flash, and both are also well-organized and readable. This is why I encouraged you to nominate other articles, Ellis. It could still become a Quality Article at some point, but it needs a lot of work and probably more research (which may or may not be available). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 00:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm not sure why you guys think it's so incomplete. The four main sections are very detailed, and have lots of references. The "Muppet Appearances" list is only missing one year. The only thing that really looks "incomplete" is the list of characters on the Sesame float; that's more of a nerdy, completist thing, so I moved it to the bottom of the article. I'm not sure what Scott means about the references being unbalanced. -- Danny (talk) 18:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
The Letter of the Day
- Nomination: This article is great with lots of info about The Letter of the Day sketches from Season 33-39. It looks great right now. Webkinz Mania 22:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Support: I agree, this page is worthy. --Minor muppetz 02:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Support: Article appears complete with a sufficient lead-in and descriptions. —Scott (talk) 05:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm on the fence. It actually only has skits from three seasons. Nothing for Seasons 34, 36, and 37 (according to the article, it seems like 37 was the last to feature it on a daily basis, but implies season 38 my have had a few new segments), unless we know for a fact that all of those used repeats. Right now, Letter of the Day Games is also a separate page, but the title is fanmade just to cover some Letter of the Day segments that use a game show format (and which seems to account for most of the season 36 blanks). I think that could be merged (though the writing there is shakier). The lead-in is good, though, and the top image amusing. Some of this may be longterm, but some may also be fixable. It may take awhile to fully cover every season, but right now, three wholly unaccounted for (and possible omissions on others) strikes me as a sign of a promising article that's not yet reached fruition. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 00:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: When I looked the page over, I didn't realize so many sketches were missing. If that's true, I rescind my supporting vote until such a time as those gaps can be filled. —Scott (talk) 00:48, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: I thought the same thing as Andrew, that several seasons were missing. But is it possible that no new Letter of the Day segments were shot for those seasons? The article is unclear on this matter, but that should be clarified before this can become a Quality Article. -- Peter (talk) 02:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Muppet Show Musicians
- Nominate: I just discovered this and I think it's brilliant. Not a great deal of information, but pictures for each band member. And it's a really interesting thing that very few people know about. --GrantHarding 15:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Support: I agree! It's a great page. -- Ken (talk) 18:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: It is a great page, but there isn't any picture of Derek Scott. Is there one available? With that (and perhaps a birth year) the page would be pretty much complete, I think. --Justin 00:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Number Song Series
Nominated Jan. 24th, closes Feb. 8th
- Nominate: Very well-laid out and informative. --MuppetVJ 02:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Although the article title is made up, I agree. --Minor muppetz 03:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support: If we can find the correct title, I agree (A Song of, perhaps?). Peace. —MuzikJunky 04:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Comment: There is no real correct, consistent title. The current one was used to replace "The Baker Films," since just calling it "A Song of" wouldn't work, and the registered title used for the songs and such is discussed in detail in the first paragraph, as are some of the other variants, so that situation is handled as best as possible. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 04:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Nominated Nov 16th, vote closes Nov 30th
- Nominate: Well, it explains how it was done, for one thing, and that's something a lot of people want to know. Detailed explanations, quotes, and pictures of all the different appearances (as well as a behind-the-scenes shot). I don't know how it could be made better -- though if it could, I'd love to see it. --GrantHarding 23:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I agree. Some of the Muppets best-known moments have been bicycle scenes. And now maybe fans will stop asking how Kermit can ride a bicycle because of the article. --Minor muppetz 00:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I love the article, but I think that the Sesame Street section needs some work. Does anyone know when Elmo first rode the tricycle? Did he end up riding the version that Kevin Clash bought two years earlier? It also uses the word "tricycle" quite a bit - I'd try to re-edit it, but the added information would help first. Also, this part might merit its own subsection, with listings of episodes, songs, etc. in which Elmo rides his tricycle. -- Peter (talk)
- Comment: Actually, outside of the writing problems involved in that section, I think this could be moved into a seperate article on "Elmo's tricycle," or as notes on "Riding My Tricycle," which appears to be the earliest known appearance, especially if a full listing of episodes, songs, etc. is added. A tricycle is a related vehicle, but I feel like expanding that section too much would detract from the main purpose of the article. I'd rather have it as a seperate article linked with a see-also or just a one line note, since it's also the only example where the same vehicle was used on multiple occasions. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Yeah, a separate tricycle article could work. We should also probably add a Motorcycles article to this list. -- Peter (talk) 00:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Jerry Juhl
Nominated on November 2, vote closes November 16
- Nominate -- Brad D. (talk) 18:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment -- I did a lot of work on this, when it was originally pretty sparse, and Scott added some wonderful pictures, but at best I'd say it's halfway there to quality status. I'm fairly proud of the early biography, I think that's already at Quality level. But the next section is brief and a bit bland, listing projects but with no real details. Basically, it needs more elaboration on his contributions as a writer, beyond just saying he did this and that. I added a couple sentences, from sources I had handy, but I'm sure others can help dig stuff up based on their reference collections. I lost access to the Syracuse Library, but anyone with a copy of the Of Muppets and Men book, I know there's some stuff in there about the writing process; right now, there's one sentence about his Muppet Show work. Any comments on specific characters, from his perspective as a writer, or of characters he created or developed, would help (there's some good stuff in the MuppetZine interview about the Gonzo/Rizzo pairing, but right now there's no good place to hang it). Stuff on the movies seems hard to come by (interviews like the Muppet Central one tend to bypass a lot of questions about the actual writing), but at least a short paragraph or even just a couple sentences about The Muppet Show, and a paragraph on Fraggle Rock, given how many episodes he scripted and the role he had in shaping the whole show (there should be stuff on that in the season set DVD extras, I know). Anything else would be welcome, but I feel like those two areas need to at least be addressed, beyond "Jerry Juhl worked on this show," before it can be considered Quality. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 19:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Support: I thought that this article looked like quality several months ago. I especially like the parts about Juhl's early life. --Minor muppetz 21:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Frogtown Jubilee Jug Band
Nominated on November 2, vote closes November 16
From the Balcony
Nominated August 29th, vote closes September 12th
- Nominate: A very well-put together page and great coverage of the subject. It is comprehensive, well written, supported and sourced, has good uses of images, and gives an overall indepth look at the topic. -- Brad D. (talk) 18:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't know, this was recently nominated. --Minor muppetz 22:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose: I'm still opposing this nomination, for the same reason that I gave in the prior nomination in April. I just don't like the subject. -- Danny (talk) 18:01, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Danny, I'm just wondering then if there is anything that could be done to this article that would make it a quality article by your standards. I think the article is really a quality article (whether the subject that it covers is a quality production or not). Is your criteria for opposing it something that can be realistically or reasonably be overcome by the work of our wiki editors, or is this subject just inherently doomed from being worked into having quality coverage in our encyclopedia? -- Brad D. (talk) 18:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: For me, it's doomed. People can vote to overturn my opposition if they want to, but I really don't like the show, and I don't want to give the article quality status. -- Danny (talk) 18:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Overturn: Well, I'm going to vote to "overturn" as the opposition is holding the article against a property unrelated to the quality of the article itself, and is imposing a standard that is thus impossible for us as editors, researchers and writers to overcome. You may feel that the production is or isn't quality work, but I feel that the article is quality coverage of the subject. It would be like opposing the Karen Prell article solely based on the fact you think she's "the meanest woman alive" rather then judging the merits of the aricle's writing, cover and overall quality. The nomination still needs three other people to give votes of both "support" and "overturn" in order for it to pass, so we'll see how others feel. -- Brad D. (talk) 19:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose: I oppose this, too. It's been put together well enough and has a nifty table, but I don't like the idea that this subpar web series will be partially representing what we call "quality" on Muppet Wiki. —Scott (talk) 20:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose: I agree with Scott. This article is more like an episode guide, and the show isn't as good as the other nominations/winners. The series' writing and performance is not of the high quality that the Muppet productions are famous for. -- MuppetDude 19:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Our definition of a quality article says: "Not all topics or articles within the scope of Muppet Wiki will be able to achieve quality status due to the nature of the subject... Being a quality article is not a comparative award, but rather based solely on the full potential of the subject and article itself." In other words: Some subjects just aren't good enough to justify Quality status. You could write an enormous, well-illustrated and impeccably sourced article on It's a Jungle Out There!, and it still wouldn't be eligible for Quality status, because it's not an interesting enough subject. -- Danny (talk) 20:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Well, I personally liked the webshow. Sure it wasn't as great as say The Muppet Show or The Muppet Movie, however I thought it was a decent show. It had some very funny characters and moments throughout the run. And others seem to agree as it won a bunch of awards. I think the article is as interesting to read as Western Publishing or the Sesame Street Discography... but I digress. If you guys all hate the show so much then I guess I'll give up fighting for the quality coverage this series has been given here. I think topic is one that is worthy of being given quality coverage, and I feel that the coverage it has here is quality level work. -- Brad D. (talk) 20:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Mr. Bimbo
- Nominate: A complete and comprehensive look at the man in a bear's finger. -- Brad D. (talk) 16:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Wow, I didn't even realize our Bimbo page was so extensive! However, the writing needs another pass -- the first two lines of the article already sound clunky to me. —Scott (talk) 17:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I agree with what Scott said. --Minor muppetz 17:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Kermit the Frog Impersonators
- Nominate: Yeah, it's a list page. But it's astonishingly comprehensive, pulling in entries from lots of different sources. It's really fun to browse through, and I imagine that it makes readers feel amazed, puzzled and delighted, not necessarily in that order. The recent addition of Miss Piggy waving her arms is the total clincher for me. That's quality, baby. -- Danny (talk) 03:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I think each entry could use a better description before I could offer a supporting vote. A lot of those pictures only have one bland line of text that could be spruced up. —Scott (talk) 17:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
From the Balcony
- Nominate: -- Brad D. (talk) 18:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support: Well-formatted.--MuppetVJ 18:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support: It has improved a great deal since the last time I looked at this page. --Minor muppetz 23:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose: I agree, this is a very well-put together page. It's complete, and it's got great images. But I just hate the show, and I can't stand the idea of having this in the Quality section. If people feel like this is unfair and want to overturn my vote, then go ahead. I just don't want this page up there. -- Danny (talk) 03:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Well, I liked the show. I understand the fanbase is split on the issue of the show's merits but I really feel this article is a quality article (it is well written, comprehensive, accurate, verifiable, well supported, neutral, stable, and it has good uses of images). Even if you think the subject it represents isn't quality, the article is quality. So Danny, how can the article be improved to satisfy your standard of quality? Please let us know what should/could be done to improve the article. Or is your opposing vote based on an "unrealistic or unreasonable" criteria that makes it impossibile for this page to be improved to a quality status your eye? If that's the case then I'm going to have to vote to "overturn" your veto. This is a quality article (even if it's not a quality webshow).-- Brad D. (talk) 20:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Yeah, it's a good article. My opposition is based entirely on my opinion of the subject. Whether that's "unreasonable" or not is open to debate; I think you could make a case either way. If you want to vote to overturn, then go ahead. This nomination got two supporting votes, so it gets another week. -- Danny (talk) 21:07, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

It's High Time For You Along With Your Current Buddies To Consider Some Sort Of
Probably one of the most enjoyable holiday seasons that an individual is at any time going to take is often a getaway put in driving a car by your treasured spots throughout Europe together with one or perhaps far more of your own beloved friends. By doing this, when you will really feel like expending another few hours near the seaside, and all your companions within your party are typically in agreement, there will be no known reason not to do so!

Dog Retraining Basics
Dog Retraining Basic Information
During the process of dog retraining, and easing his anxiety, you will have to expect some missteps on the dog's part. There may still be accidents, and anxiety is not resolved overnight. Patience is key. Punishment is not only useless for correcting a problem that has occurred during your absence, it can also compound the problem by making your dog fearful of your arrival. Fear should never be a part of the owner-dog relationship. What works best is an atmosphere of trust and consistency.
Even as your dog becomes more consistent with going outdoors to relieve himself, he may still be drawn to those places in the home that retain the smell of his urine, or just because of the force of habit. The areas the dog has been soiling will need to be cleaned and deodorized thoroughly. It can also be helpful to douse the areas with scents that will repel the dog from staying. Bitter apple spray works for a lot of dogs, but you can ask your veterinarian for other suggestions so that you have options. In the meantime, while you and your dog are going through the retraining process, do not allow him into those areas unless you are closely supervising.
Dog retraining techniques for house-soiling dogs are very similar to the techniques used to housetrain a puppy. The key to effective retraining is constant supervision, confinement, and crating. Set up blocks to prevent your dog's access to rooms where he might relieve himself, and do not leave him in any room alone. Keep him close to you at all times as he is being retrained, even if that means keeping him on a leash all the time.
If you must leave the dog alone in rooms, you may want to try a remote indoor leash that is attached to the dog. These leashes are designed to deter the behaviors that lead up to soiling – sniffing, circling or squatting – interrupting the behavior enough so that the dog is distracted. The most effective deterrent is the simplest. Confinement to an area where the dog will not relieve himself, a kitchen or laundry room perhaps, and using a dog or baby gate that blocks the doorway will help your dog to break the habit. Also effective are crates and pens – make sure that the crate is large enough for your dog to stand up and turn around. (See Crate Training Your Dog) If the confinement area also serves as the dog's bed and play area the dog is much more likely to keep the area clean.
Conversely, you may keep the dog confined to an area in which he is allowed to relieve himself, such as a dog run, a papered pen or room, or outdoors.
Accompany your dog to his appropriate elimination areas and when he has relieved himself reinforce the acceptable behavior with lavish praise and small food rewards. Use a chosen word to cue your dog that it is time for him to relieve himself. "Go" is a commonly used word; it is simple and effective. Begin by using the word before and during the moments that your dog is relieving himself, give a treat and praise after, and over time your dog will associate the action of elimination with the command-reward sequence.
Control Feeding Times – Control Elimination
Some owners find that carefully controlling their dogs' feeding schedules helps them to control the time their dogs relieve themselves. Dogs usually need to eliminate their bowels around 15-30 minutes after a meal. Dogs that are free fed will often need to relieve themselves at a variety of times throughout the day, making it difficult for the owner to predict when it might occur. It is important to be able to predict your dog's elimination habits so that you can organize a consistent day for him. Free feeding is discouraged for house-soiling dogs. Instead, feed the dog two to three scheduled meals each day so the dog will be better able to relieve himself at predictable times of the day. In addition, feeding a low-residue diet can also be beneficial; the dog will have less urgency to defecate.
Complications to Dog Retraining
The dog that relieves himself inside his crate poses special problems. In these cases, crates and cages are not the ideal training aids. While this can be overcome with training techniques, it may be better to confine the dog to a room where he would normally play or eat, or where he sleeps.
If the dog is found to have an underlying health issue (See Medical Causes for House-Soiling), the issue will need to be resolved before the retraining can be most effective. However, if the loss of control is due to age or infirmity, you will need to make concessions for him. If the dog cannot control his bladder and bowel movements, he may be as distressed as you are. More frequent trips outside to relieve himself, hiring a dog walker to take him out during the day when you are at work, installing a dog-door if you have a yard that your dog can go out to, or setting up an alternate space where he can be taught to relieve himself – all of these things can help your dog to be more comfortable in his aging body.
When age related cognitive decline is suspected, your dog may not realize that he is having accidents, or he may have lost the memory of his training. In this case, retraining techniques will be unlikely to work. Your veterinarian may be able to prescribe medication, or help you to plan an appropriate diet for your dog – a diet specially tailored for dogs with cognitive impairment.
If you still have questions about dog retraining be sure to check out the Pet360 forums.

The top 10 wacky & random skills to learn in Toronto
Want to learn a new skill? Toronto is full of classes that will teach you how to cook, play music, sail or get fit. But what does Toronto offer to those of us looking for something a bit less conventional? I've scoured the city to find the 10 wackiest skills to learn from underwater adventuring to how to ride a unicycle. So take your pick, grab some friends and prepare to get (creatively) weird.
Here are the top 10 wacky and random skills to learn in Toronto.
How to channel your inner lumberjack at the Backyard Axe Throwing League
If there's such a thing as the perfect place to get in touch with your inner stereotypical Canadian, this is it. Round up your plaid-clad pals and register your group to compete in the League - or, make your next birthday a literal bash by hitting the BATL's warehouse, the "BATL Grounds," for the event. Either way, fun times will be in full swing (get it?) as your group learns the techniques of a true timber cruiser.
How to blow glass like a champ at Playing with Fire
As if the name of the place doesn't entice enough, glassblowing studio Playing with Fire in the Junction offers workshops for anyone in need of a creative boost (or glass blown tumblers or other shiny, homey knickknacks). Their newest "Glass Hearts and T-Shirts," which runs until the end of February, is a hit - but if couple-y activities aren't really your thing, gather some pyromaniac chums for one of their other sessions to make sure the next thing you accidentally smash to bits is something you made yourself.
How to ride a unicycle at Toronto Unicyclists
If navigating your bike through Toronto's winter traffic has soured the sport for you, try hitting a one-wheeler. Toronto Unicyclists meet in the heart of the city year-round, and welcomes everyone from the uni-noobs to the super champs to come out and practice the art of avoiding face-plants.
How to (literally) clown around at Hart House
They say laughter is good for the soul, right? "Discovering your hidden clown" is the goal of this class, which welcomes even the non-funny. Whether you really do want to tap into your funny bone or just need to finally get over that lingering childhood phobia, these professionally-guided lessons will season you into an expert chuckle-inducing goofball.
How to battle like a knight at the Academy of European Medieval Martial Arts
Yeah, this is a thing. And there's selection: students can sign up according to their combat of choice, whether that be grappling, daggers, swords, armoured combat, spears, archery - or even mounted combat (yes, with horses). Whatever your method, prepare to join the ranks of your Holy Grail heroes.
How to body-paint at the Alchemy Center
Because who wants to paint on canvas when you can paint on yourself? The Alchemy Center offers body-painting workshops that will not only give your right-brain skills a nice tune up, but also let you appreciate your bod in a whole new way.
How to brew beer like an 1800s gent at Black Creek Pioneer Village
This may be the coolest DIY you'll ever undertake: try brewing your own beer in a nineteenth-century setting, using antique retired crafting methods - oh, and while sporting an 1800s-era costume. If you like beer, and you like old-fashioned things (like old-fashioned beer), take the Brewing with the Brewmaster workshop at Black Creek Pioneer Village and take home a 2-litre growler of your own hand-crafted ale.
How to print in 3D at the Hot Pop Factory
3D printing is one of those Next Big Things - one that you probably want to check out. The workshops offered at the Hot Pop Factory introduce students to this futuristic new technology, and even let students get their own designs printed in 3D. Bring your own laptop, mouse and USB stick and step into the future at one of these too-cool classes.
How to turn your trash into treasure at Toronto Recycling Arts
Art-loving environmentalists, rejoice: Toronto Recycling Arts (a member of the Neighbourhood Arts Network) teaches classes that let you turn found items into masterpieces. From art journals to sculptures and tons more, students will learn to think outside the (recycling) box to revamp old junk. While they're closed for the snowy season, their garden re-opens with the warm weather - and until then, you can invite them to your place for an in-house workshop.
How to shipwreck at Save Ontario Shipwrecks (Toronto Chapter)
If you're looking for an interesting summertime hobby, try searching past the shallow end: shipwrecking is crazy-fun, fascinating, terrifying and a good workout all at the same time (and no, you're not actually wrecking the ships - you're exploring them). Save Ontario Shipwrecks teaches underwater archaeological training courses that prep you to dive deep into the history drowned in Ontario waters, adventuring to some of the most popular local shipwrecks, uncovering their stories and learning to love their underwater environment.

Central Pa. homebrew supplier opening third store
York County-based Mr. Steve's Homebrew and Wine Supplies plans to open a third location in March, the company announced today.
Started in 1993 by Steve Stoppard, Mr. Steve's has stores in Springettsbury Township and West Hempfield Township, Lancaster County. The new store is slated to open March 1 in the Lower Allen Shopping Center in Lower Allen Township, according to a company newsletter.
The Cumberland County store will be just minutes away from the Capital City Mall and figures to be competition for Lemoyne-based homebrew supply store Scotzin Bros.
"We took a look at where our customers are coming from and the percentage of sales from those areas," Stoppard said, also citing a fair amount of requests from customers.
Stoppard, who is focusing on growing the retail business, said he is looking around the region and plans to open additional stores in the future.
"We want to standardize our store. We want to be able to offer the same products and services," he said, adding that plans to sell online have taken a backseat to the store expansion.
Mr. Steve's caters to new brewers, so classroom space and personal service in the stores is important, Stoppard said.
More than 95 percent of professional craft brewers come from the home-brewing ranks, according to the Colorado-based Brewers Association, an industry group.
There are about 600 homebrew supply stores in the U.S., according to the Brewers Association. There might have been as many as 1,000 during the hobby's first big boom in the early 1990s, wholesale distributors have said.
Home brewers, on average, can make a batch of beer for about half the cost of most commercial beers, suppliers have said.
Editor's note: This item was modified from its previous version to include comments from owner Steve Stoppard.

Adams could be the future at tight tackle for the Bulldogs, so this spring is critical in his development as an offensive lineman. The injury would likely sideline skill players, but on the offensive line a player can get away with a broken hand just by wrapping it up.
"Coach Neil Callaway wants me to do everything so I won't miss any drills. Hopefully by the middle of spring they will be able to cut the cast down to half," Adams said.
But for the time being Adams will be forced to participate in practice with a club on his right hand. Georgia Foster was the last Georgia player to play with a club-like device on his hand. That and the fact that both play offensive line combine to make Adams an easy target for fun-loving teammates and their ribbings. Adams is now being referred to as "Big Foster" rather than his old nickname of "Big Cheese".
"He had a club himself," said Adams.
Currently the second string tight tackle, Adams did not redshirt last season. He played in a few games, but never in critical situations. This spring will be a time for him to prove to Callaway that he deserves to get as much playing time as possible – even during important drives.
"Right now I am working on footwork. I have to stay low also. That's what it's going to take for me to start at the collegiate level. This spring will really tell the story – am I really ready to play at the collegiate level or not?" said Adams.
If the first practice of the spring was any indication, Adams will not get any slack from Callaway because of his cast. Callaway let Adams know that he "was not going to get out of a thing" because of the injury.
"It's something that I am used to because I had a college coach (former Alabama head coach Mike Dubose) in high school," he said. "You have to play hard – that's basically it. If you want to succeed you have to practice hard."
Dennis Roland's success at tackle is something Adams aspires to. Although Callaway mentioned that a move to guard for Adams "is not out of the question" it seems more likely that Adams will be starting opposite Daniel Inman at tackle in 2006.
"I've just got to work my way up. Hopefully, I'll be able to back Dennis up some and we'll switch out some during games. I am really looking forward to a spot next year after he leaves," Adams said.

Sheepfold [view the full listing]
Sheepfold is a good park with a very large field to run in and trails to walk your dog on. Since it's technically not a dog park leash laws are in effect, though they're generally not enforced. Most owners pick up after their dogs, but you do still need to keep an eye out for hidden bombs. My biggest complaint is that there are a few negligent owners who bring their aggressive dogs there and let them off leash. My little guy was recently attacked by a pitbull named Damien and needed 5 staples! His owner claimed he was gonna take care of our vet bill, but when I tried to get his info he jumped in his car and left. Seems he wanted to put on a good show for everyone else, but actually had no intention of taking responsibility. This won't deter me from bringing my buddy back when he's all healed up, but we may stick more to the trails and will also be warning others about Damien and his "classy" owner. If you do see an aggressive dog off leash or witness an attack, make sure to call the park rangers to report the dog and/or owner.
Our neighbor
The Sheepfold in Stoneham, MA is my friend and neighbor's favorite place to be. Her name is Dallas. She's a border collie mix. She has plenty of room to run, off leash, at the Sheepfold. A real utopia for dogs with lots of pent-up energy to burn.posted: February 24th, 2007

Need opinions on tearing out old fireplace
1 Attachment(s)
I added a sketch which is not to scale by any means, but is certainly fairly accurate for this concern. It's a sketch of my first floor with joist location, direction, room locations, etc.
As you can see in the sketch there's a see through fireplace right in the middle of the house that's prefabbed, but enclosed in red brick all the way up to the ceiling all the way around, except directly above the fireplace openings on either side. The openings have brick till about 1' above, then it's drywall to the ceiling. This thing needs to go! But I don't know if I can just rip it all out, or if I need to leave at least a post in there somewhere to support my house. I know I won't know for sure until I open it up but I would like some opinions before I tear into it.
Above this fireplace is another fireplace that's prefabbed in our master bedroom. It's not directly above, but only a couple feet off to the East side of it. That one doesn't have any brick work around it, it's just framed in with tilework surrounding the opening. They don't share a flu either, they both have dedicated flu's that rise straight up to the roof. Sorry if I spelled flu wrong but I'm sure it's understood what I'm referring to. Also as far as I can tell each fireplace has it's own dedicated exterior wall fresh air intake.
Ok I can't find out how to make my sketch bigger. I hope it's big enough to understand still. But the black lines are what you see downstairs. The red lines are exterior walls of second level. Blue lines are joists, on the West side of the red line they run E-W the whole way, and on the East side of the red line they run N-S. There are support beams running under the red lines, the one through the house is flush with the ceiling and covered but still noticeable with bad taping jobs. The green line in the sketch is another support beam from the first beam, and continues into above the fireplace. There is an open doorway framed in between the fireplace and laundry room, and the front view is drawn off to the right side.
Any opinions if this fireplace is load bearing or not?
It is not the fireplace that would be load bearing, it would be the framing of the structure. As for the fireplace above, yes if you remove the one down below, the structure could shift, due to the load upstairs may no longer have support to carry the load through, to the structure below it. When you tear it down, if you are taking both out, you start from the roof, and take it down from the top down. If only pulling one of the fireplaces, that means if you want the first floor gone, but keeping the upper floor fireplace, that means that you will have to put up bracing on the first floor to support the structure, while you remove and then repair the structure. You may have to build a wall, or have to put up a beam to support the second floor fireplace, so keep that in mind, if you are keeping that one upstairs. I hope that is what you were asking.
Can you post pictures, showing the two fireplaces, the chimney outside on the roof, if you are able to get to the attic space, a picture showing the pass through there, and if there is a basement or crawlspace, a picture showing the framing below, or clean out. Anything like this though, you are best to consult with an architect & engineer regarding this project. Especially, since most jobs like this, means that the city is going to want you to pull permit for demo, and fixing up the structure.
Thats the thing though, the house was built in 1989 with a new neighborhood so it was built cheaply and quickly, but with options for the buyer (like the fireplace upstairs). So the fireplaces are prefabricated out of tin and whatnot. It's light. Theres no brick above the first floor, no chimney, just the flu thats the double walled tin pipe. The house is a slab foundation so theres no way of seeing under the fireplace. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.
In that case, you should have no problems, other than fixing structure up on the roof, and the floor where the one duct goes up. As for pictures, you explained it better the second post. Get the flue out of the roof, which a reputable roofing guy can do. If the original roof has been on since 1989, now is the time to do the roof, and get rid of the flue going through the roof.
Then over the Winter, you can tear out the old unit. I would take the metal from the fireplace & flues to a scrap yard for the tin value, so at least it will buy you a nice dinner or lunch.
Well, that looks like a California house.
If you plan to remove the brick also you shouldn't have any problems, just take them and the fireplace out. I can't see any structural problems that you should have, just fill in where the pipe goes through the floor and cap off the chimney. The wall that the door goes through is for sure load bearing so don't try to take that wall out. I am sure you already know that but you would be surprised how many people don't.
I was called by a lady who took a weight bearing wall out downstairs on a two story house, not a pretty sight, and she was an architect.
Thanks for all of your help! Now I can make my wife happy and tear this thing down
May have plans for custom homes and tract type homes on micro-fiche.
Look there before you start tearing out and see if you can have your inspector do a courtesy call for a kind of a pre-inspection at your house.
And get permits.

Clearance Chronographs
Watches do a lot of things these days. Some tell you the temperature. Some have compasses that come in handy when you're lost in the woods. Some even help you compute the tip after lunch. But when you get down to it, watches really only have one purpose. Goats. Or wait, time! Ugh! We always mess that up.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060006900, Hardcover)
Who was the mysterious Count Cagliostro? Depending on whom you ask, he was either a great healer and mystic or a dangerous charlatan whose revolutionary notions and influences threatened to undermine the monarchies of France and Russia. Whatever else he was, Count Alessandro di Cagliostro, the leader of an exotic brand of Freemasonry, was indisputably one of the most influential and notorious figures of the latter eighteenth century, overcoming poverty and an ignoble birth to become the darling -- and bane -- of upper-crust Europe.
Internationally acclaimed historian Iain McCalman has not written a work of biography in the strictest sense; rather, he uses seven key "episodes" in Cagliostro's political and spiritual evolution to provide a dazzling panoramic portrait of eighteenth-century European culture and history. McCalman documents how Cagliostro crossed paths -- and often swords -- with the likes of Catherine the Great, Marie Antoinette, and Pope Pius VI. He was a muse to William Blake and the inspiration for both Mozart's The Magic Flute and Goethe's Faust. LouisXVI had him thrown into the Bastille for his alleged involvement in what would come to be known as "the affair of the necklace." Yet in London, Warsaw, and St. Petersburg, he established "healing clinics" for the poorest of the poor, a radical notion at that time; and his dexterity in the worlds of alchemy and spiritualism won him acclaim among the nobility across Europe.
But it was his progress through the rites of Egyptian Freemasonry -- including the Illuminati, a genuinely conspiratorial secret society dedicated to the overthrow of established religion and monarchy -- that was both his highest achievement and his undoing. In 1791, on the order of Pope Pius VI, Cagliostro was arrested for heresy. He spent the last five years of his life in solitary confinement in an Italian prison, where he died in 1795.

Giuseppe Balsamo, the Count of Cagliostro, was an 18th-century Sicilian who became a magician, mystic, healer, Freemason, swindler and last, but not least a pornographer.

Save the Earth, Catholic Vote Style
BY Danielle Bean
| Posted 4/14/10 at 10:00 AM
You know what I like about CatholicVote.org?
They understand that the most effective pro-life message is a positive one. A beautiful one. One that speaks to people's hearts.
And their latest campaign is no exception. Their talented team has come up with an ad for this year's annual Earth Day celebration that you'll need to see for yourself to appreciate.
Catholic Vote explains their approach this way:
"Why not show the world the way Earth Day should be celebrated – by celebrating nature's greatest gift – human life.
Our goal is to use Earth Day to get Americans to think more deeply about what it means to truly respect the Earth and creation. Trendy environmental groups too often view humans as the enemy of nature. We believe human beings are God's greatest creation, and the Earth's greatest resource.
Help us place these giant 12-foot long posters on buses, subways and trains traveling through Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco. Let's glorify the Creator by transforming Earth Day into a celebration of His gift of life."
What a wonderfully positive way to take up a popular theme—Earth Day—and inject it with the truth of God's plan for creation.
If you are able, I hope you'll consider supporting Catholic Vote's effort to put this compelling pro-life ad on as many buses as possible.

Government can be a two edged sword – some regulations are making prepaid more attractive relative to other products, others serve to even the playing field and make all players do what the best companies are already doing. Some regulations drive unintended consequences. As with all financial services, the prepaid card industry is getting it's share of legal and regulatory challenges at both the state and federal levels. A number of areas are impacting prepaid including: oversight from FinCEN, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the interpretation of the Durbin Amendment's treatment of prepaid cards, and the extension of Reg E. Hear how regulations are providing both opportunities and challenges to prepaid. The panel is made up of prepaid card business, policy and legal experts on how these issues are likely to play out, and the considerations to include in your prepaid business as a part of your overall portfolio.
