JOSEPH TROVATO: It is nice to be visiting with you again, Mr. Chavez. I recall our meeting at Syracuse when you were one of the jurors of the New York State Exhibition, of the New York State Exposition in 1962, was it, or '63?
JOSEPH TROVATO: '62, yes. Suppose we begin from the beginning and I'll ask you first of all, where were you born?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: I was born in New Mexico, in Wagonmound, New Mexico, specifically, which sounds like a rather unreal place, but it does exist. I was born there and then later the family moved to Colorado, so actually . . . my boyhood . . . I grew up in Colorado.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Colorado?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Yes.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Now where did you study art and how early did you begin this interest?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: As a matter of fact, just yesterday . . . . Very curiously, when you called, I was thinking back about when I actually started working and it was rather a sudden beginning. I have been painting since 1937, '36 rather, and it was the year after I graduated from high school and immediately went to work for Frank Mechau, who was then working on the . . . I believe at that time the Treasury Relief Art Project. If I remember right. And then from there I transferred over. I got on the projects as soon as I was legally able to and then later on was transferred over. I got on the projects as soon as I was legally able to and then later on was transferred from there to WPA.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Well, then, you were in on the project from the beginning?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: I was in at the very beginning of it, yes.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Well, I think I have you down as having painted . . . as having done two Post Office murals: A Center, Texas, Post Office and a Geneva, Nebraska, Post Office. Is that right?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: That's right. (Also Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Post Office and West High School, Denver, Colorado.)
JOSEPH TROVATO: Now can you tell us something about the nature of these murals? Of course, you were just out of school as you have just said . . . ?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: I was, yes, literally just beginning to paint.
JOSEPH TROVATO: What influence did you . . . do the murals show? They must have some basis of . . . ?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Well, the direct influence is . . . in terms of my own painting . . . happened at the time to be closely related to the trend painting generally in America at that time (this refers to the American scene painting) and that is Bruegel being one of my principal influences. Not that Bruegel was an influence on American painting generally. And the work was related in a sense in style to the Bruegel style of painting and I imagine I was influenced a good deal by Mr. Mechau -- Frank Mechau -- who also was quite a lover of . . . admirer of Bruegel's work and his work was influenced by Bruegel. Sort of a mutual admiration for Bruegel in general
JOSEPH TROVATO: So this project, or the two murals, were done under the Public Works of Art Project?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: That's right.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Then you said that you later went on the WPA when that came into being?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Now I'm a little vague. Wasn't the PWAP a section of the WPA? I mean, wasn't that the art section, the art area of the WPA? If I'm not mistaken.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Well, the WPA came later; I should have the date in my head, perhaps at '35, and that was more strictly a relief project.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Oh, yes, I see. I remember that the beginning was what was known as the Treasury Relief Project, TRAP, and then there was a PWAP, which I thought was WPA, or vice versa. I don't know which is which.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Well, now, when you went on the WPA project, did you have to apply for . . . did you have to show relief eligibility?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: No. That's the reason I'm trying to recall what the status was in terms of the project. It merely . . . as I recall, I don't think that was involved in it at all. You had to be a working artist, a so-called professional artists. I remember that you had to submit work and credentials, supposedly to prove that you were a professional artist. And those were the only requirements that I recall.
JOSEPH TROVATO: And you turned in pictures every so often?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: I turned in pictures every so often. Well, the projects apparently varied from state to state.
JOSEPH TROVATO: This would be . . . ?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: This was in Colorado.
JOSEPH TROVATO: But was this an easel project, easel painting?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Yes, this was an easel painting project originally, yes.
JOSEPH TROVATO: In Colorado?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: In Colorado, yes. And in Colorado the administration was somewhat different, I understand, than it was here in that we were able to work individually, independently in our own studios. In other words, we had no ties to anyone except to, I think it was every month, submit the work that we did. It was reviewed and then a certain amount of work was selected.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Were you free to do work in your own way?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: We . . . yes. The marvelous thing about this . . . wherever I hear discussions about Federal support of art and the limitations, my experience was that i had more freedom, possibly more freedom, then than one does now with coping with the galleries and dealers, and so forth. Complete freedom in what we could do. Complete freedom in what I was able to do and also the fellow painters that I knew at the time.
JOSEPH TROVATO: How long were you on this project then at Colorado?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Well, I'm a little vague on the dates. Altogether . . . I began in . . . '37 I think was the first official . . . and I stopped on the project . . . I did my last mural in 1939 or '40, just before the war broke out and I . . . as a matter of fact went into the army immediately after having completed one of the projects I was doing, in 1941.
JOSEPH TROVATO: So that you did . . . well, I mentioned earlier that there are two murals: the one at Center, Texas, Post Office, and one at Geneva, Nebraska. Are there other murals?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Yes, I was trying to think which other ones. There was one in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. I did two for a high school, South Denver High School, I believe it was. I think there was one other which I don't remember at the moment.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Now, were these done as a result of a competition?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: This was . . . yes. The murals were a competition. They were submitted. It was one of the competitions in which you submitted sketches and they were juried and then they awarded the murals. The murals were as a result of the competition.
JOSEPH TROVATO: I see. Will you tell us how do you evaluate this experience in relation to yourself, to your own development as an artist? Or then you can go on to a broader evaluation and consider it in relation to American art as a whole in the way it developed.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Well, I . . . I felt very good about my experience with the project painting days. I feel it was important. I have certain reservations and criticisms, perhaps, about its influence and about what the influence was on the painter, on the artist rather, but altogether, generally I feel it was a very good experience, marvelous experience for the artist. Basically, I think, principally, in the contact that one had with the audience for which one was painting, or in other words, there was a more direct influence between the audience and the artist and we're beginning to get back to that now. The feeling that you have to communicate with your environment. Pop art, for example, is a direct, I think, a direct outcome of this. I do not mean that Pop art is a direct outcome of the projects, but that Pop art indicates a desire for more direct communication. They want to get back to the real things. And in a sense that was what that experience was to me. You felt a direct tie to the people who were experiencing your work.
JOSEPH TROVATO: You mentioned a little earlier in connection with the murals, or your murals, that in the very beginning when you were fresh out of school you had some admiration for Pieter Bruegel. Now what I see on your walls here in your studio is surely a far cry from Pieter Bruegel and the one in front of me, which I think is a very beautiful painting, is definitely an abstraction. How long have you been working in this direction?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Well, of course, it's been a gradual development or evolution, I prefer to call it, because as I review my work . . . whenever people come to see my paintings and they haven't seen them for a period of years, they come and make a similar comment on the difference between the work I'm doing now, or the wide bridge between what I'm doing now and what I was doing at the time, or a few years back. Actually, it's been a gradual evolution over a period of many years. So there was no immediate beginning that I can think of except possible after the second World War. The interval, the four-year interval of the World War did create a bridge in the direction of my work. And I think immediately after coming out of the army it began to evolve into more abstract work and of course now very abstract.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Well, of course that was the case with American art in general.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: That's right.
JOSEPH TROVATO: It was in the air! It was a trend that developed quite rapidly.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: It developed rapidly in terms of the general direction of American art, yes.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Toward abstraction.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Yes. And in my case personally it was more gradual than that, but it did evolve into a very abstract work. I would like to add, however, Joe, that I don't feel that this bridge, so-called bridge, between the influence of, let's say of Bruegel and other work at the time influenced by Bruegel, and the work that I do now is such a wide one after all, really, except in superficial terms. I think that Bruegel actually is as abstract as anything I'm doing now. You know, in terms of real basic aesthetics of painting, and so forth. So that the bridge was really one of subject matter, perhaps, more than anything else, and superficial style.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Well, of course, Bruegel derived his symbols, his motives, from, you know, from the life around him, from nature, from the life around him.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Yes, well, that . . . .
JOSEPH TROVATO: What do your motives come from?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Well, that was the thing that we were talking about before, that it was . . . that I mentioned before, that the subject matter was what was similar to Bruegel's. He was a so-called genre painter and the painting I was doing at the time, and American painters were doing on the projects, was also American painting specifically, and it was influenced by the life around you and the painting that I'm doing now, although it is abstract in style, is also based on my personal experiences with nature, not with people specifically, but with nature, including people, so that it's an experience that I have come in contact with, a real experience, then it's transferred into abstract terms for me. So it's perhaps a very personal statement in terms of paint and canvas, but the original experience is still, originally, pretty much the same as it was at that time and as I think it was with Bruegel.
JOSEPH TROVATO: I see. This record of the Thirties that the Archives of American Art is doing will be . . . will provide a wonderful picture of the government's role in art as it was done in the past, and I can imagine that should the government ever undertake sponsorship along these lines that this information that you are giving us and that many artists and administrators are giving us will prove most helpful. Let me ask you, would you favor having the government enter in once more into art sponsorship?
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Very definitely so. As I suggested before, I had reservations, certain reservations about the project in those days in relation to the artist, and I have reservations now about the possibilities that might arise, adverse possibilities that might arise in a case like that, but I think generally it's a . . . they should, I think definitely . . . the government should recognize the artist's part in the cultural society and do something about it. I wouldn't even begin to suggest how it should be administered because I'm not an administrator and wouldn't know how to go about it, but I think there should be government recognition and that the government should take part in the general picture of American art and the artist. The role is one . . . I don't know what role it should be, but there should be a sponsorship of some sort of American painting and art generally.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Of course, when we consider the picture of art today, compared to what it was in the Thirties . . . well, I think that what I started to say before we were interrupted by the telephone was that in the Thirties there were comparatively few opportunities for artists. There were fewer galleries, there were fewer collectors and even, well, museums and art centers that have . . . that have developed all over the country in recent years. Today we have . . . this picture has just about reversed itself.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Yes.
JOSEPH TROVATO: And the competition for the serious artist must be a tremendous one these days.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Joe, I don't quite understand. Are you saying that there's no . . . that there might not be a need for government sponsorship in that the artist is more . . . there's more opportunity for him at the moment, or are you . . . are you suggesting something of this sort?
JOSEPH TROVATO: Well, that's what . . . yes, what I had in mind.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Yes. Well, I don't think it's a question of . . . here's one crux of the matter. It isn't the matter of support for the individual artist as it was in the project days where it was in a sense a question of the need of the artist in a practical sense. So it . . . regardless . . . even though there is more acceptance of art, more galleries, more dealers, that still doesn't negate the fact that there should be an acceptance and recognition officially of American art.
JOSEPH TROVATO: I see.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: In other words, there are two different areas.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Yes.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: It isn't a question of the need of the individual artist economically, but of the need to recognize the cultural contribution that the artist makes to our country, to America.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Yes. I think you're making your point very well. I want to thank you very much for giving us your thoughts and ideas and recollections on this subject and we are most appreciative that you have given me all of this time.
EDWARD CHAVEZ: Well, I'm always very glad to talk about the project days. I have a very good feeling about them.
JOSEPH TROVATO: Than you very much again.

The London 2012 Olympic torch has been lit, sparking the start of the torch relay to end at the Games' opening ceremonies on July 27.
In the traditional ritual, an actress dressed as a high priestess used a mirror to focus the sun's rays and light the torch this morning at the birthplace of the ancient Olympics in Greece, the BBC reports.
The triangular torch is designed to highlight the fact that London is hosting the Olympics for the third time. It also staged the Games in 1908 and 1948, the Associated Press reports.
From Greece, the flame will travel to Britain for a 70-day torch relay covering 8,000 miles across the United Kingdom, the AP reports.
Greek swimmer and Olympic silver medalist Spyros Gianniotis will be the first of 490 torchbearers.

For Daniel Coronado, the transition from basketball to volleyball is as simple as changing uniforms.
In fact, the Mountain Pointe setter and outside hitter, brings some of his hoop skills to the volleyball court.
And that can make him appear a little unorthodox.
"They make fun of me," Coronado said, "but I feel like with the lay-up motion of basketball I can get higher and hit the ball harder. The motion of rebounds and dunking is the same as in volleyball."
Earlier in his athletic career, Coronado was an accomplished baseball player and might have combined that with basketball in high school if he had not become hooked on volleyball.
Baseball and boys volleyball are played during the same spring season in high school, and Coronado had to make a decision.
"I grew up playing basketball," Coronado said, "but since high school, volleyball has become more of my major sport."
He said he also has found more opportunities in volleyball.
During his freshman year he competed in an informal tryout with Mountain Pointe volleyball coach Fred Mann and afterward Mann went into his recruiting mode.
"That's when I decided that I wanted to play volleyball, and now I love it," Coronado said.
This is his fourth year on the team, but his rookie season was a learning process.
However, Coronado is among the top 10 academic students of his class, so he caught on quickly.
"It takes a lot of coordination and energy to play volleyball," Coronado said. "It was a whole new game for me. I had to learn rotations and positions."
Then he had to learn all over again this season when he moved from middle blocker to the opposite hitter and setter, where he is involved in almost every volley.
"Playing setter is a whole different style," he said. "A middle blocker stays in one area but as a setter you're running the show and you have to cover the whole floor. I like that."
Volleyball is a mind game, too, and frustration can lead to mistakes, he added.
"If you get down on yourself you start hitting the ball out of bounds and if you slack off it can hurt you, too," Coronado said.
He is also in the National Honor Society, has taken honors classes through high school and does senior service away from the court.
"I like to be involved in meeting people and being part of what is happening at school," he said. "My parents have always emphasized academics first. It's been easy for me, but it takes some work. "
Next year Coronado plans to attend the Arizona State University Barrett Honors College and begin a new career in architecture.
"Math has always been my strongest area," Coronado said, "and I love building things with LEGOs."


text: thomas, perhaps we should remember where this discussion started - someone advocating complete irresponsibility in social research, then squirming around trying to avoid admitting that any of his (weak and inconsistent) arguments were in any way flawed, even given some very weighty counter arguments. so your intervention, which doesn't distance itself from that context, can seem to implicitly support it. there is far more under discussion than the question of considering anything available on the web as potentially research material, so just polarising the issue in this way doesn't seem very helpful. also note that the original discussion did not exclude private forums - those that are password protected and therefore not searchable (google *isn't* watching), and that search engines have a convention for allowing privacy in non-password-protected pages (via a file called "robots.txt" placed on web servers). there are lots of lurking watchers of a somewhat dubious nature out there, from the spam bots to the CIA's automated content extraction software; our advocate of ignoring all ethical issues risks associating social research with this type of entity. best -- Hamish http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~hamish/ [I get too much email, and I use junk filters.

On Thursday evening's news casts, the networks ignored a claim by major insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield that as many as 20 percent of their new enrollees did not pay the first month's premium for ObamaCare. If that was the case for all insurers, the White House's brag of 7 million enrollees would be cut down to 6 million or lower.
National Journal had the story, calling Blue Cross Blue Shield "one of the biggest players in ObamaCare's exchanges. They reported that according to a spokesperson for the company, "roughly 80 to 85 percent of people who selected a Blues plan through the exchanges went on to pay their first month's premium."
The White House had bragged that it exceeded its original goal of 7 million sign-ups for ObamaCare by March 31st, although critical questions went unanswered – like how many had actually paid for their first premium and thus received insurance.
The networks didn't mention the claim by Blue Cross Blue Shield, however. They did help spin ObamaCare as a positive on Tuesday, however.
For instance, after President Obama took his "victory lap" in the Rose Garden over the enrollment numbers, ABC's Matthew Dowd lectured Republicans to stop trying to repeal the law. CBS ran a positive story on a young enrollee's "peace of mind" at having insurance coverage, while ABC's Jonathan Karl said, "in the four years since the Affordable Care Act passed, when it comes to health care, this is the best day that Democrats have had."

Regulations For College Contributions
Council Regulations 1 of 2009
Made by Council on 23 April 2009
Amended on 21 January 2010 and 20 January 2011 (date of effect 1 January 2012), 15 March 2012, 21 June 2012 and 8 February 2013
1. These regulations are made under the provisions of Statute XV, and references to sections are to the sections of that statute unless otherwise stated.
2. (1) The College Contributions Committee established by section 3 shall consist of
(a) a Chairman appointed by the Vice-Chancellor;
(b)–(d) three members appointed by Council, one of whom shall be appointed from among its own members;
(e)–(h) four members elected by the Conference of Colleges.
(2) The appointed and elected members shall hold office for four years.
(3) Subject to the approval of the Chairman of the Conference of Colleges and the Chairman of Council on each occasion, the committee may co-opt up to two external members for such periods as it sees fit, on condition that the committee shall be satisfied that those appointed have no financial interest in any college of the University.
(4) Members shall serve no more than two consecutive full terms of office. Casual terms of office shall not count towards this limit.
(5) Notwithstanding regulation 2(4) above, the General Purposes Committee of Council may determine that one further consecutive period is permitted in an individual case.
(6) The committee shall be responsible to Council:
(a) for the proper administration of the Fund; and
(b) for the distribution of income from the Fund in accordance with these Regulations.
(7) The committee shall have the power (subject to regulation 7 below):
(a) to make rulings on the income of colleges for the purpose of the Scheme, and on their consequent liability to contribute;
(b) to call for reports from colleges to amplify their financial statements and calculations;
(c) to determine what grants or loans from the Fund will meet the purpose of the Scheme;
(d) to carry out whatever investigation may be necessary in order to ascertain that grants and loans have been used as intended; and
(e) to charge interest on late payment of contributions at the official rate of interest (that is to say, the rate applicable under Section 178 of the Finance Act 1989, or any statute amending or replacing that Section).
(8) The committee shall review the scheme after five years of operation and report to Council on its performance.
3. The sum payable by each college under section 4 shall be calculated as follows:
(1) The total annual sum to be transferred to the Fund shall set by Council. The aggregate contribution of the colleges to the Fund shall be capped at £3m per annum; and the contribution of the University shall be capped at £2m in 2008/9 and £1m in each subsequent year.
(2) Contributions under these regulations shall be made for a fixed period of ten years, the final contribution being made on the basis of the annual accounts prepared by colleges as at 31 July 2017. No contributions under these regulations will be levied thereafter.
(3) The bands and rates of contribution for a particular financial year shall be set by Council by regulation on the recommendation of the committee before the end of that year. If the total sum raised from the colleges exceeds the agreed amount, the committee shall have the power to order a rebate to colleges pro rata (rebating in equal proportion to all contributing colleges). If the sum raised from colleges falls short of the agreed amount the committee shall, if necessary, adjust the contribution rate in the following year to make up the deficit.
(4) The bands and rates for the contributions payable in 2012/13 based on the 2011/12 accounts shall be as follows:
At the same time as submitting its annual financial statements under section 8, each college shall also submit a statement in the form set out in the Schedule to these regulations.
4. In order to calculate contributions, assets will be computed on the basis of the aggregate of the following:
(1) total funds less tangible fixed assets per the consolidated audited financial statements of the college at 31 July;
(2) 30 per cent of conference and function income included in the consolidated audited financial statements of the college at 31 July, multiplied by 100/4; and
(3) total funds per the consolidated audited financial statements of any entity over which the college exercises control or dominant influence, or whose objectives are mainly or exclusively confined to the benefit of the college, if the financial statements of that entity are not consolidated with those of the college - such financial statements to be drawn up not more than 12 months preceding the 31 July at which the college's financial statements are drawn up;
(4) funds included in total funds per the consolidated audited financial statements of the college at 31 July which must be applied by the college as sole trustee for purposes wholly outside the objects of the college; and
(5) allowances for exceptional obligations, multiplied by 100/4.
5. Conference and Function Income.
(1) There shall be excluded from conference and function income all fees, dues, establishment charges and charges for meals which are paid to the college by or on behalf of junior members of the college who are members of the University; and also charges paid to the college by senior members of the college in connection with their employment by the college, or in connection with their membership of the college or its common room.
(2) Conference and function income shall otherwise include all fees and charges paid to the college by or on behalf of all parties, including visiting students who are not members of the University, and all fees and charges paid to the college in respect to conferences and functions organised by or on behalf of members of the college.
6. Exceptional Obligations.
(1) Exceptional obligations recognised by the College Contributions Scheme prior to 2007/8 will not be carried forward into the Scheme from 2008/9 onwards.
(2) Notwithstanding regulation 6 (1), if a contributing college makes to the College Contributions Committee a written application on the ground that its endowment is burdened by some charge or obligation of an exceptional nature in respect of which a deduction ought fairly to be made (whether imposed on the college or accepted voluntarily by the college for reasons which the committee considers reasonable having regard to the interest not necessarily only of the college but if appropriate also of the University and colleges as a whole), the committee shall consider that application and may at its discretion decide what deduction (if any) shall be allowed to the college in respect of that charge or obligation.
7. (1) The committee shall make recommendations to Council at least once a year on the allocation of the income of the College Contributions Fund to and between the colleges, with the proviso that the committee may recommend that no allocation be made.
(2) The criteria for making an award will be satisfied if a college can provide evidence to show that:
(a) the college has a low endowment per student, the calculation of which shall be decided by the committee; and
(b) it is below a median or target value in one or more categories for which grants will be awarded as defined by the committee; and
(c) it makes a case for support.
8. Appeal to Council.
A college aggrieved by a decision of the committee may appeal to Council.

if you want to start a German version of the wiki, just do it, you don't need our permission, all the files + text here are licenced to wikia.com, so if you create EdgeworldDK.wikia.com and translate everything over, i think there is no problem as long as it stays on wikia.comLoading editor

hey Java; i came up with an idea to have a "Featured Editor" in our wiki, to recognize all our great contributers, my idea is to have a person(s) to be nominated to be a featured editor, and with no objections within a month, we display them on the main page, after a month, someone else could be nominated, what do u think?Loading editor
it's more a magazine thing, also the game and interest in the game is dying fast, we should be in wind down mode, rather than trying to inovate i think.Loading editor

In December I was blocked for one week after he left the last answer to a thread I was in and closed it so I couldn't answer back how he was wrong, and saw there was a Remove button on all posts and that was where I left my answer:
I didn't leave any comment about spelling so his claim was fake. His block message was that the user removes comments (This is bullshit, as it was one comment.) and they were warned by admins (This is also bullshit; he was the only admin to warn about that thread, and only one message was warned about. He regularly abuses maths in his diction such as to twist meanings into 1 = 2 to bolster support for his statements. When he misrepresents everything, he can't be trusted as staff.) A few days earlier he had removed my comment to another user about bad spelling. Censorship breeds dishonesty and corruption when the readership cannot see who said what. If my removal of his comment was such a problem (There is no Wikia policy to cover comment removals.) then he could simply revert it and not take it out on me.
The text that comes with the block message is also bullshit; a blocked user whether logged in or as IP cannot contact any administrator to contest the block, and can't email one either. Unlike Wikipedia, the user can't leave a user comment also.
Here after he left a bunch of spelling and ghrammatics corrections on Paoser's wall I left mine about his punctuation:
Soon after I was blocked for /two weeks/ with another confused message "Continuing to post comments about other users' grammar in comment which has nothing at all to do with the posts", when it had to do with /his/ post, it was one comment and not comments, and I don't know what "comments in comment" means. So in that thread where he corrects another user manifold over what I did, he can only abuse me for it if it's about him. Months ago whenever he was confronted with the problems in his writings he'd admit the comment but be stubborn about it and refuse to improve. As there are no Wikia policies against corrections in the comments, and comments are generally free to every user and don't disrupt the above wiki content, his actions are of a personal bias to suppress criticism. I was blocked for what I did in a few comments but most of my contributions are to the main namespace, and a blocked user can't edit there. The other users in Special:BlockList are blocked for their vandalism to the main namespace. I was encouraged to make corrections there but now cannot and it seems not to matter if it doesn't affect the users in the other namespace, and again cannot make any corrections to Edgeworld_Wiki needed for months as it's locked to everyone but admins, and so few even bother to edit it.Loading editor
I see no wrongdoing on Fidofuz's part. He, in these cases, is doing exactly what we are supposed to do, that is; maintain some standards and not let things descend into personal arguements and editwars. This is in keeping with the Admin. standards set out by Wikia in their Community Admin. guildlines, we are a community here at Edgeworld wiki, that means we must do whats best for the site and all users of the site, your disruption to this, and the distraction this is from other tasks is not helpful.Loading editor
I have nothing personal against you Alysdexia but I have an issue with your attitude towards other members on this wiki, not just towards me.
I blocked your account for 1 week due to the fact that you continued to ignore warnings from another admin to cease your activity. The final straw was your deleting my message to close the thread. I have had to remove many of your derogatory comments towards users regarding their spelling and grammar in comments, for example "Learn to spell retard" I specifically remember.
In Paoser's case I was trying to help him due to 4 or 5 changes to articles he had made. I made a helpful suggestion for him to use a spell checker and also listed some of the issues I was referring to in the articles. I was attempting to make sure that if he did further edits he would use a spell checker and further corrective edits would not be required. I made no reference to spelling or grammar in his comments, I can understand what he is saying in comments without requiring spelling to be correct. It is important, however, that article grammar and spelling be correct though.
You, however, saw this an opportunity to scan through my comment to him for any spelling or grammatical errors and interfere with my assistance to Paoser. Recently you have desisted from trolling around user comments looking for grammatical errors and posting derogatory corrections. But I assume you saw my attempt to help another user with their ARTICLE POSTS as the perfect opportunity to jump in and try to correct my COMMENT.
I have in no way abused my position here, I will continue to help administrate this wiki for the best interests of all users until I am no longer required or wanted.Loading editor

Can you add the Vermillion Core to the news on the main wall?Loading editor

Did you know there is another edgeworld wikia called edgeworlds.wikia.com. This one is much more complete though.Loading editor
It was created just over a month ago by a single user and has only been updated by that user. That wiki contains very little information and is pretty pointless when this one exists.Loading editor
Loading editor
we don't just make people admins, we have criteria for this, your contribution has to be higher, your activity and presence must be more regular and longer in duration, then someone might nominate you and we might then vote you to admin.. this isn't IRC :PLoading editor
Loading editor
Coolthrower needs to be demoted from admin for these abusive and trolling comments:
But I see lately how you made every user who can't spell, proud of it, and abusive against me admin, and it's likely intentional.Loading editor
That would have a little more merit, if not for the fact that you are either the instigator or you contribute to each and every one of these disscussions, also i have already stated and will do so once more, I don't care about your petty squabbles about spelling, the whole thing just gives me a headache, leave me out of it!Loading editor
I wasn't rude in that thread at all, and I made it clear I wasn't male in two messages. He wrote those to piss me off, or he doesn't read anything I write.Loading editor

What was wrong with Revision http://edgeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Generals_Quarters?direction=prev&oldid=22684
You deleted too much. I can understand deleting some of it but you wiped out almost all of it.Loading editor
nothing was deleted, as is stated in the page comments we split the content between:
'Generals' - a page about generals in general :P
'Generals Quarters' - a page about the building
'General Strom' - a page about General Strom
nothing was removed only moved!Loading editor
OK, I see a request by Alysdexia to do the split, just not three Links laid out as clearly as you did in your reply. Thank you. I guess I had hoped for something along the lines of:
"For more info about X see here Y".
I will let the people doing the cleanup attend to it and sort it out in the days to come.
Thanks for your reply and all your hard work you do here, WE appreciate it.Loading editor

___I begin by starting this story with these words about 9/11/2001. " these are my own thoughts on the subject "... And I want to say I'm sorry up front, because i know some of this may offend some of you. And this is not my intent to do so. Maria-Lyn
___I remember the day so vividly, as if it occurred yesterday. You know that day I speak of, now so far away. Like every other American I, awoke to a huge tall building on fire at the top. I recall gasping to get air when I, thought how are they ever going to get that to stop. Then my mind turned to the, thought of the poor people up that far in the air. And I thought, boy with all that smoke I wondered how they would see to get down from there. As I watched all the papers that were falling to the ground, in a whirling sort of way. Then I wondered how someone could fly into that building on such a clear sunny day! Then all of a sudden there came into sight, another plane that went directly into the other tall building that was there! Oh my God I cried, how could anyone do something like that, how would they dare? ___Oh my God I cried, how could anyone do something like that, how would they dare? Then at that time it dawned on me, that is was an attack on our Country. And that no longer would we beable to see, how the Left and the Right could ever again agree. At that time my heart got stuck in my throat, as I thought again how could anyone dare. Attack these innocent people so far up in the air. Then I said to myself, someone had to know what they were doing, and just didn't care. That they were going to kill our fellow American's now helpless so far up in the air. As I sat there crying watching the events unfold, I thought to myself I hope a lot of the people could get free. Then it dawned on me that now we have no other choice, war is coming you'll see. And I said to myself oh no, after this how could we ever again feel free. But the biggest problem I had, as I watched the first building fall to the ground. ___I had wondered why the Government hadn't sent any of our jets in there to fly around? Why hadn't they sent them there to protect the other buildings there? I thought they should have done that or did they just not care. Whether another plane would strike, the other big tall building that was there on the site. At least if they had sent the jets, we would have a chance to stop that other flight. But one thing that never dawned on me, as I sat there in tears. While I watched the other Tower fall down to the ground, sounding like big grinding gears. I just sat there so stunned,with my mouth hanging down, and tears in my eyes. I felt sorry for those poor people who died, and never got to say their goodbyes! The rest of my day I spent in shock, with lots of tears. As a thought came into my mind, which made me shiver with fear. I began to wonder, what was wrong with Government that, there were still no planes in the air. ___My God I thought to myself, boy they really don't care. So as I searched to find someone to contact in the Government to ask them why? Over the news came a broadcast, that at the Pentagon more people just died. The news report said that a plane crashed into the Pentagon too. I said to myself, that was because they never put any planes in the air, what a bunch of fools. And shortly after that the press said oh my God, a plane just crashed from the sky. And they said that 90 some more people had died, when finally I reached the White House to ask why? When I reached them at the White House, I said what the heck are you doing? You are screwing by not scrambling jets, into the sky and, the American people are booing. They told me that they did send up the jets. But the didn't know where to send them, nor did they know which one to get. So I told them who cares, get some jets up in the air. Or don't you care?
___Well before the end of that day, I heard we lost almost 3,000 Americans they said who died. And when I went in the morning to get my newspaper, thats also what I read. And since 9/11/2001, I have not stopped watching the news, the senate, and the House of Representitives. To follow what they did in the process of, finding a way to fix what happened, because there should have been no way. For these terrorists to get there hands on 4 big named Air Planes, that was a very strange thing to me. I almost felt that our Government had to have been involved, for these guys to high jack that many planes. I felt very bad thinking that way, but in all my years I have never seen anything like that. Happening to us here in America, because we have normally had excellent Air Craft Security. Due to previous situations of a plane being high jacked in the past.
___But enough of what I experienced that day mentally, and emotionally and onto the reason I, feel I need to write about what has happened. To My Country the United States of America, and We the People since that day. And what I see our Government doing to, our legal rights we all inherited as an American. Such as the right to, privacy, freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom to assembly peacefully, the right to ha-bias corpus. The right to not be searched or wiretapped without a court order, or even probable cause. Yes it is very up setting to me that, The Bush Administration, and now The Obama Administration have done everything they can to infringe on our Civil Rights. And some how that has to stop, before it is too late to save them, from this Right winged Supreme Court. That is dying to destroy this Countries right to a functional Government Entity.
___What an embarrassment these two Administration's have caused, to We the American People and to the respect we use to be given to us by the World Community. And the Democrats, aren't much better these days about going along with the Repubs., and their new laws they are passing to take our Civil Liberties away. I can no longer call either party that they are on the side of the American Peoples as far as our rights are concerned. And while we were struggling about the 26 people killed in Newtown, at Sandy Hook Elementary, our congress passed a five year extention of the spying program. That Bush set up, and Obama continues, just like Obama continues all of Bush's policy on the war on terror too. Including secret prisons, over seas that he denies having, and yet still are being reported on by some great Journalist like. Jeremy Scahill of the Nation, and MSNBC's Richard Engel. Or you can read more on it by going to this story. As Italy Sentences 23 CIA Agents in Rendition Case, Obama Refuses to Prosecute Anyone for Torture or this story.
WHAT WAS OUR COST: Iraq: Torture. Corruption. Civil war. Independent/UK— by Robert Fisk/ and shared by maria-lyn
___Well I think, I have spoken my opinion on the state that this Country is in right now. And it doesn't look any better in the near future that anyone in Washington plans on changing any of these problems. So America can hold Her head up high again, and be able to face the World with Pride. As long as there continues to be so many lying, and corrupt politicians in Washington. The only way I see anything getting done to fix the corruption, would have to come from an Active Nation of Americans. Standing up to protect our Rights before they all are taken. From We the People of the United States of America. God Bless Us All Americans ---written by Maria-Lyn__on this day of 01/14/2013__on be half of all those people that Americans Innocently Tortured, against the laws of the Genieva Convention. When will we be brave enough to proscute those that made their own laws. And said the He$$ with the Laws Of the World Treaty we signed. And who continue to be so Arrogant That They, think they can get away with this forever. Shame on Washington, and that includes President Barrack Obama

Ford India Ads Show Kardashians & Other Women Bound, Gagged & Locked In Car Trunks
Looking at pictures of women with cartoonishly large breasts, bound and gagged in the backseat of the trunk of a car, you might think you're looking at bondage porn.
But no, you would be looking at someone's idea of "advertising" for the Ford Motor Company. The tagline? "Leave Your Worries Behind."
Ford's India unit is in hot water after a series of mock-up ads — at least one showing Paris Hilton driving a Ford Figo with the Kardashian sisters tied up in the trunk, another showing Italy's Silvio Berlusconi with random scantily clad women tied up in the trunk — appeared online last week on a site called Ads Of The World.
Another mock-up ad depicts Formula One driver Michael Schumacher with other men he competes against tied up in the trunk. One can't help but note how the sexualized the images of the women bound and gagged in the trunks are — poor judgment in a country which has had a series of high-profile gang rapes and murders.
The mock-up ads appeared this weekend on a site showcasing creative advertising. It's not clear whether Ford, the brand of car depicted in the ads, were directly involved with their creation; the advertising company connected to the violent images, WWP Group, added that the mock-up ads "should never have been created let alone uploaded to the internet." A Ford India spokesperson told the AP the company is investigating the incident. The company released a statement calling the ads "contrary to the standars of professionalism and decency within Ford."
The images have since been pulled offline.

"Blue Ivy" Strain Marijuana Sprouting Up In LA Weed Shops
We knew Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby Blue Ivy was going to be influential, but this just isn't what we expected.
The week-old child is already racing up the Billboard charts with her cries audible on her dad's song "Glory," and she already has her own strain of marijuana named after her, reports TMZ.
According to the website, several weed dispensaries in Los Angeles are selling a new strain of pot called "OG Blue Ivy." Of course, Beyonce and Jay-Z didn't sign off on the new strain, but they don't have a trademark on their daughter's name and so far the stores haven't received any sort of legal notice from the couple.

Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo Are Dating!
While it's proving impossible to come up with an effective blended name between them, a la "Bennifer" or "Brangelina," talented singers Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo have confirmed that they are indeed a couple. They came out to the press on Sunday night at Derulo's 22nd birthday bash at Phillipe Chow in Hollywood! Derulo's actual date of birth is Sept.21, but he was on tour in Europe at the time, so the celebration was slightly delayed but oh so worth it.
According to PEOPLE, the duo cuddled up to another throughout the night. They say good things come in threes and Derulo was celebrating his birthday, the release of his album 'Future History,' which drops today, and his relationship with Sparks, who looks as fine as ever! Derulo's rep confirmed their status as a couple, too!
A source revealed that Sparks "would sing to him occasionally through the night in his ear if her head was nested on his shoulder" at the party. The source also said that Derulo "was excited to spend some [quality time] with Jordin in LA … The two left together and continued the celebration."
Sparks and Derulo exchanged a few tweets, broadcasting their love. She wrote: "@jasonderulo Will you get back to the states already?? lol : P" while he was abroad. She then sent him a special birthday note, posting: "Happy Birthday, @jasonderulo!! 22 is the best number EVER! : )"
He replied "thx LOVE."

Australian 4x4 Travel - Sandover Highway
Call John or Amanda today on (02) 4739 8034 or mobile 0408 245892 for all enquiries and bookings.
There are some excellent maps and guides covering this route in our on-line maps shop
The Sandover Highway
Sandover Highway - Northern Territory to Mt Isa Queensland
Essentially this is a short cut from central Australia to the Gulf or to northern Queensland.
This trip is from Alice Springs in the Northern Territory to Mt Isa in Queensland. Of course, as with all of these trips, you can simply reverse the instructions if you are coming from the opposite direction. This is a longish trip over very remote and little used tracks and is very dry country in places. You shouldn't even think about it if you don't have a decent, well prepared and well equipped vehicle.
Much of the territory that you will cover is historical pioneering country. The best time to go is spring or autumn, the longest run between fuel stops is about 320 km and the total distance could be over 1000 km, depending on what trips you take of the main route.
The trip heads out of Alice along the Plenty Highway, about 70 km north off the Stuart Highway.It is only a short distance along here that you turn of north onto the Sandover Highway, where you will travel for some distance through scrub and spinifex country. You will need to make regular checks that spinifex hasn't blocked the airflow to your radiator as it will lead to over-heating and mechanical failure if left.
Also check under your vehicle as spinifex collects around the exhaust and you run a real risk of your vehicle catching on fire.
There are many tracks off to the left and right during this stretch but they are into Aboriginal territory and you don't have any right of access. The exception is Utopia, or Urapuntja where you are able to get emergency supplies of basic food and fuel.</
At Alpara you can do the same and then, for some distance, the road runs parallel to the Sandover River. You probably won't see much of it unless you take one of the tracks off to the right, or south.
From here you head past the Amaroo Station and pass into, mainly, cattle country. Once you have travelled some 650 km or so you will pass Lake Nash, which is,
officially, the end of the Sandover Highway. From here you have a choice of two routes, to the north via Camooweal, and somewhat better countryside, or south via Urandagi.
South is shorter in kilometers, but a much harsher drive, and both end up at Mt Isa.

Shoaib's resolve stems from the urge to do well against a side that picked him for special thrashing at the World Cup last year.
"I want to be the best against the best, that has been my endeavour since I started my career. So I am gearing up," the Rawalpindi Express said as India and Pakistan go into a series of five One-day matches starting Saturday.
Pakistan looks up to the 27-year old tearaway bowler to put aside his wild ways and pull off wins against India not only in the One-dayers but in the three Test matches as well.
"I know there are a lot of expectations but I am more responsible than before and would not run away from my responsibility of being the spearhead. I would give my best," said Shoaib.
With Wasim Akram, who retired last year and Waqar Younis, although adamant he would play again, not being considered for the series, Shoaib will lead the Pakistan bowling attack.
Shoaib helped Pakistan win the Lahore Test against South Africa last year but was suspended for the next Test after he was charged of abusing South African tail-ender Paul Adams. Pakistan had to fight hard to avoid defeat in the second Test at Faislabad.
The bowler with the flying mane then took eleven wickets to turn the Test on its head against New Zealand at Wellington in January.
Shoaib does not seem to have forgotten the lesson he learnt in the World Cup as he downplayed any one-to-one rivalry with Indian batting genius Sachin Tendulkar.
"Cricket is a team game. Indians now have more Tendulkars than one and we have to get five Tendulkars out to win matches, but we are up to it. It is even wrong to bill this series as a contest between our bowlers and their batsmen. We also need to score to win matches," said the bowler who is often in news for his on-field antics as well as off it.
Shoaib also says he is confident of good support from fellow speedsters Mohammad Sami and Shabbir Ahmed.
"I know I am the spearhead and team looks at me to take wickets but I am not the only one, Mohammad Sami and Shabbir are also bowling very well," he said.

spar varnish is the best for this purpose but shellac will answer.
The one suggested in the drawing has red wheels with the remaining parts of the kiddie kar finished natural with spar varnish.
Outside of mahogany planking, finished in natural wood with spar varnish.
It will be necessary to protect it from the weather when not in use and frequently give it a coat of paint or spar varnish.
For the back yard, cut a paint barrel in two or coat a tub inside with spar varnish.
After the last coat of shellac is dry apply one coat of spar varnish.

There's a Dutch sailor thought to be missing in the Atlantic. At least it's such a long time since he's been heard from that friends and family are deeply concerned.
Sietse Hagen left the port of Tenerife heading for the Caribbean on January 15th, 2014. Since his departure, now over 60 days ago, he has not reported home. His friends and family, as well as the Dutch sailing community, are deeply concerned about the well-being of this very experienced sailor.
Sietse Hagen is sailing a 27ft Gib'Sea Flush Poker named Pokerface, small but well prepared for long voyages. He carries no satphone or SSB radio. The boat is recognizable by its fixed spray hood and the black painted stern. Sietse has been reported missing at the local and international authorities, but all help by keeping a lookout for his boat would be very much appreciated.
If you have any information that could help finding Sietse please contact The Netherlands Coastguard or your local police.
Mystery No. 2, Timor Sea: What happened to the crew of a just-discovered sunken yacht?
This mystery is quite different, as it is just the crew that is missing, while the yacht has been discovered on the ocean bed. It was a fishing trawler that snagged the sunken yacht about 80nm out of Darwin in 80-90 metres of water.
The fishing boat is owned by Australia Bay Seafoods. The company's owner, Bill Passey, said the crew of the ship realised their nets had a giant snag while trawling.
'They hooked up there and it took about six hours to get free and eventually when they did get free something gave way,' Mr Passey told the ABC.
'They pulled up ... and among all the tangled mess was a mast off a yacht with the sails,' he said.
The yacht's sails were still up.
The marine growth suggests the wreck is only 6-10 months old. The mast is painted blue and the furling headsail was made in Sydney.
A mollusc expert has since told police he believed the vessel had been in the ocean for between eight and ten months and that the sail matched a type made by a boutique sailmaker from Sydney.
But the stainless steel rings on the blue mast that was recovered were made in Auckland.
A Northern Territory Police spokeswoman told news.com.au that the fate of the yacht's crew was a mystery.
'We don't even know if there was a crew, let alone what happened to them,' the spokeswoman said.
'It's possible they were rescued by a passing vessel and it's possible that they drowned. We have cross-referenced all missing people in Western Australia and Queensland and come up with nothing.'
It is understood that NT Water Police are preparing to send specialist divers and a remotely-operated device to search the seabed for bodies and recover the rest of the yacht.
Mystery No. 3, St Vincent, Caribbean: What happened to British sailor found dead in burning liferaft?
This is the darkest mystery of all, and police have launched a murder investigation after the sailor was found dead in the water near his life raft, and near his burnt-out yacht in the Caribbean Sea.
Sailing instructor John Edward Garner, 53, was discovered with head and leg injuries after the coastguard responded to reports that a yacht was on fire off the coast of St Vincent and he was pronounced dead upon arrival at hospital.
Kay Wilson, who owns Indigo Watersports, and is originally from Bristol, said she was taking a boat trip full of guests from a nearby hotel resort, when she saw smoke on the horizon and went to investigate.
She said she and her crew discovered Mr Garner's body free floating in the water wearing a life jacket, with severe lacerations to his face and legs.
A burning life raft was also found close to the yacht, which was well ablaze, she said. While local reports said that police were now searching for his wife Heidi Hukkelaas, with whom he flew to St Vincent on January 19, ex-pats living on the island - including the dive instructor who discovered Mr Garner's body - say Miss Hukkelaas left her partner two days previously, to return to Norway to look after her children, as planned.
And despite Caribbean police claiming to be searching for Ms Hukkelaas, Norwegian authorities said no requests have been made with them regarding her whereabouts, only to inform Norwegian relatives that Mr Garner had died.
'We have not been asked to do anything but inform relatives of the incident,' a spokesperson for Norwegian Police said this week.
'We are not aware that the Norwegian woman is wanted internationally and there is no such request regarding this woman in our system.'
In the meantime, there are no clues to the mystery of what happened to the unlucky sailor.

U.S. Will Counter Chinese Arms Buildup, New York Times , 1/9/11
click here=1
Secretary Robert Gates, in charge of wars and preparing for wars, forewarned China against seeking parity with US military capabilities (stationed off China's coast?). Chinese might remember trying to match the US expenditure on WMD eventually disabled the Soviet Union's economy.
Gates might remind the Chinese leadership that trying to match U.S. expenditure on WMD is what eventually disabled the economy of the Soviet Union and caused its collapse.
But still, what must be a most important issue for the Chinese leadership at the moment, and perhaps was throughout modern history, is the military might and capabilities of American-British-Western European capital. (Capital largely managed since WW II by U.S. investment banks.)
Throughout history, socialist revolutions have been made to suffer the military power of capitalist nations and great nation imperialism - invasion, threat of war, blockades. The military might of capital has always forced expenditure on defense at the expense of society's civilian projects.
Since socialist revolution only occurred when imperialism had already conquered the world, capital already had its armies in place. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, currently in charge of war and preparing for war, forewarns on seeking to be able to successfully defend against a US attack.
The establishment of the first socialist state brought immediate invasion by the British and US led armies of fourteen nations to war against the Bolshevik (majority) led Soviet government in Russia in 1918.
Historians have studied the roots of investor need for wars. In the America of 1893, investors were in trouble for a cyclic unsustainability of capital accumulation caused when prices are greatly lowered by increased production made possible by mechanization through technological advances. Lower prices also brought the growing economic and political power of labor, and owners of capital turned to a temporary use of military at home, and then permanent imperialist war overseas, the military conquest of land, resources and markets.
(In the earlier British Empire, the time line for capital requiring military predominance begins after the first overproduction crisis resulting from the industrial revolution introducing mechanization in textiles at end of the 18th century.)
A bibliography would begin with:
The impersonal and amoral need for capital to accumulate is described in the film Godfather, "Tell Michael it was nothing personal, I always liked him, it was just business."
At the present time, Americans don't dislike Chinese and vice versa. And Chinese capital in intertwined with U.S. capital. It is just that business needs to be gotten on with, namely, planning for war.
Chinese capital generates its own need to accumulate. It remains to be seen if Chinese capital can be limited militarily by a nominally Communist government. Students of history already know that the military potential of capital in large capitalist nations cannot be contained by capitalist government.

1H-NMR spectra were obtained with a Bruker 300 MHz DPX 300 spectrometer. Chemical shifts are quoted as δ values in ppm downfield from tetramethylsilane. Infrared (IR) spectra were recorded on thin films with a Perkin-Elmer 1720 spectrophotometer; Elemental analyses were carried out by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Research Council of Turkey) Marmara Research Centre on a Thermo Finnigan Flash EA 1112, (C, H, N). Electron impact (EI, 70 eV) ionization mass spectra were recorded on a Finnigan MAT 95 mass spectrometer. All reagents were used as purchased from commercial suppliers without further purification. All reactions in non-aqueous solvents were carried out using standard Schlenk techniques under a dry nitrogen atmosphere. Solvents were purified and dried according to conventional methods prior to use; tetrahydrofuran (THF), diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane (DME) were distilled from sodium/benzophenone; dichloromethane was distilled from calcium hydride. Acetonitrile and dimethylformamide were initially stirred over potassium carbonate (1 day), then over phosphorus pentoxide (1 day) and distilled (DMF was distilled under reduced pressure) onto 3Å molecular sieves. Reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) using pre-coated silica plates (Macherey Nagel SIL G UV254). Compounds were visualized using a UV lamp, alkaline potassium permanganate or acidic cerium(IV) sulfate solutions. Column chromatography was carried out on Macherey Nagel Kieselgel 60 (230−240 mesh).

Still with miners, copper producer Kazakhmys has climbed 28p to £13.16 following news of a bigger than expected loan from China.
The country's state-run Development Bank is lending the Kazak company $2.7bn, more than the original $2bn, and the cash will be used to develop the Bozshakol project. The move comes as part of China's continuing investment in the region to secure its supply of energy resources.
