Leaf weather seal
A quick learner from Michigan says:
October 16, 2015
Sliding glass door of unknown manufacture. The glass is branded with"Arm-R-Clad". It appears this is an unusual leaf weather seal in that the work surface, meaning the surface that rubs against the door frame, is parallel to the kerf, rather than perpendicular to it. If you get my meaning. The second photo shows it mounted in the channel through which the door top slides.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
October 20, 2015
Arm-R-Clad is a very old type of tempered patio door glass. I'm assuming that the door in which it is installed is just as old. I'm not sure if we can get an exact match, but look at our 58-175 and let me know if you could use this as a substitute.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Origins Available: English, Scottish
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Their name is derived from Wat, which is a diminutive form of Walter. This Old German name, which literally means mighty army, was introduced into England during the reign of Edward the Confessor and became one of the most popular personal names in that country following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The surname also features the suffix -son, which superseded other patronymic suffixes in popularity during the 14th century and was most popular in the north of England.
Wollterson Early Origins
Lewis Watson, afterwards created Lord Rockingham, and was besieged by the parliamentarian forces, who at the same time destroyed the tower and part of the nave of the church: the only remains of the castle are the two massive bastions that defended the entrance gateway." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Wollterson Spelling Variations
Wollterson Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Wollterson are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Wollterson include: Wattson, Walterson, MacWattie and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Wollterson or a variant listed above: John Watson who settled in Virginia in 1620; the same year as the "Mayflower"; Abraham, Alice, Elizabeth, Francis, Joe, Margaret, and William Watson, all settled in Virginia in 1635.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Mea gloria fides
Motto Translation: Fidelity is my glory.

A company using hydraulic fracturing to release gas from shale rock confirms that the controversial technique probably did trigger earth tremors in northwestern England in April and May.
Cuadrilla Resources said Wednesday that independent experts concluded that the tremors were due to an unusual combination of geology and operations and were unlikely to happen again.
The company said local geology would limit any future seismic events to around magnitude 3 on the Richter scale.
The tremor on April 1 measured 2.3 on the Richter scale.
Local campaigners have mounted a "Frack Off" campaign to oppose the drilling technique that cracks open rock layers to free natural gas.

Paid or paying on a collection account has very little scoring effects as vast majority of scoring models do not differentiate between paid and unpaid collections. However paid collection would reflect favorably to most potential lenders whom looking into your credit profile... The removal date doesn't change with any future payments, what it might change/restart is the Statute Of Limitations of you being sued for that debt, if you decide to stop paying on it later, when/if you had entered a firm repayment plan, it can be consider as brand new contract.

The Importance of Classes that Think Outside the Box: Creating a Culture of Peace
- Details
- Category: Volume 88 (Fall 2016) and Volume 89 (Spring 2017)
- Published: 05 October 2016
- Written by KATE MCGUIRE | CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Students do not really know what to expect on the first day of classes, or throughout the semester. Everyone has experienced the typical routine: write a few papers, be up all hours of the night to study for exams, and stay at desk in the classroom, barely raising your hand and participating. How sad is that— not learning, not growing, and not becoming involved. Well, surprise; there is a course that can change your life for the better, for years to come.
Creating A Culture of Peace is a course that is the exact opposite of many classes that a student has taken here at Monmouth University, which makes it extremely unique and life-altering. Eleanor Novek, a professor of communication, teaches this class, which has received positive results and relationships after the students have completed these credits. "The class was developed out of my volunteer work with the Alternatives to Violence Project (AVP)," Novek explained. "AVP is a nonprofit group that offers conflict resolution programs in community groups and prisons. Through games, exercises, and shared experiences, it develops the communication skills and attitudes people need to solve conflicts peacefully.
It is a class that is set up in a circle, having the students and Novek looking at each other, and interacting on a conversational level, so anyone can speak about any topic at any given time. Each individual is given a name for the class, making it more friendly and comfortable. The student has to use an adjective that describes them that starts with the same letter as their name. Novek recalled, " In the class, everything we do builds a community of trust and sharing. Students journal about topics as far-reaching as early experiences of violence, holding grudges, and random acts of kindness. Each one chooses a positive name they use all semester. At the end of the semester we didn't want to leave!"
Ayse Yasas, a senior communication student who went by Amazing Ayse, said "This class wasn't like any other class I've ever taken in the best way possible, and it's probably one of my favorites of all time. It felt like a small community of peace and togetherness, and I became friends with people that I would never normally talk to. It's also the only class that taught lessons that I could use in everyday life and genuinely made me think about my actions everyday to actively be a better person and keep the peace with people." How amazing is that? A class that really makes an individual think about their everyday life, and change.
A typical day's schedule consists of the students entering, putting the desks in a circle, and going around the room answering a question about a certain topic or situation. The circle shape symbolizes the class as a community, as one. There are infinite answers; learning about an individual's temper, their home life, challenges, and things they are not proud of. There is a pact that is agreed upon that everything shared does not leave the room when class is over. The different mechanisms of dealing with violence and anger are discussed using examples, and skits are created to show how these methods can be used in daily lives. By being open and honest about the hardships individuals are going through, and even the good things, a strong, familial bond was created between everyone in the room. It is a course where everything that is taught is absorbed, and used in day-to-day life.
Zachary Karvelas, a senior communication student who chose the nickname Zippy Zack, confirmed, "I've never had a class that impacted me more than Create a Culture of Peace. The class was open and acceptant of everyone's opinion and voice, respectful, honest, and friendly. It was the best environment to learn in, and more classes should use more peaceful and open dynamic in their classrooms." It is true; the learning mechanism and environment really makes a difference in the overall experience.
A fellow senior communication student Marie Soldo who went by Magnanimous Marie, said, "Having a different type of dynamic definitely helps with learning and it made us all feel like a little family in Create a Culture of Peace. This semester in my classes I don't know anyone that well, and no one really talks to each other so it was nice to have Create a Culture of Peace which allowed us to open up with each other and grow together as a class. I'm a pretty shy person too so it was great having a class where my shyness disappeared the second I walked in the classroom." This class was a way for her to open up, and crack that shell.
Novek will be instructing this class again in the spring on Monday and Wednesday mornings. Get out there, get involved, learn, grow, and create relationships. You will not be disappointed, Kind Kate promises.

I spent a very very long time choosing this product after previous disappointments with other manufacturers. I was very pleased from the off with the look and feel of the watch- its a good size without being impractical, it feels solid. The face is incredibly clear and bright. The indicators are very bright at night- or in a dark cupboard- I couldnt wait to test it! The rubber strap is comfortably soft but feels rugged- I tend to be heavy handed and previous straps have not faired well. So far its performed well in sea kayaking trips and biking.

Rating: Average (3 / 5)
I began looking at Luminox watches and saw that they had a wide variety of specs. I wanted a robust watch that could potentially give a good few years life both at work, home and leisure. What struck me about this model was its lightness and clear display. The luminosity is excellent, and varies depending on what model you choose. On the negative side, I spend a lot of time rummaging in bags for equipment and was frustrated by the number of times the crown was snagged causing the watch to stop without me realising. This type of crown is limited to a few models. After about nine months the luminescent marker in the 3 oclock position fell off inside the watch shortly followed by the hour hand jamming. However, the watch was covered by a two year warranty and was repaired free of charge. I own a variety of divers type watches, and whilst I would not rate this watch at the top, I would still class it as a good purchase, but suggest that the crown needs modifying by removing the ridges to prevent snagging.

Modern architecture – it's all about making a statement.
Dancing House, Prague
Sticking out like the dog's proverbials in a city known for its elegant Baroque and Gothic architecture, Prague's Dancing House was completed in 1996 on the banks of the Vltava River. Originally designed as an art museum but now home to a finance company, the building is nicknamed 'Fred and Ginger' after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers because the edifice resembles a pair of toe-tappers mid-waltz.
Suite Vollard, Brazil
The world's first rotating building opened in 2001 in Curitiba, with 11 floors that rotate 360 degrees every hour. A homage to Pablo Picasso 'Vollard Suite' of sketches, architect Bruno de Franco tinted the windows silver, gold and blue to produce a glittering visual effect as the storeys spin.
Absolute World Towers, Canada
It took more than 12 years for Toronto's local government to find the winner of a design competition but it was worth the wait when the Absolute World Towers were finally completed in 2012. Two pillars standing 161.2m (50 floors) and 179.5m (56 floors) respectively, each level is twisted at different degrees to give the skyscrapers an hourglass appearance, affectionately tagged 'Marilyn Monroe'.
Wuxi Wanda Cultural City Exhibition Centre
On the border of the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake in china, the Wuxi Wanda Cultural City is the creation of Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin. The Exhibition Centre at the heart of the development has been designed to reference local customs. Resembling a giant purple teapot, the form is based on Yixing clay objects, which originated from the eastern province of Jiangsu during the 15th century. The structure itself is 38.8 meters high and nearly 50 meters in diameter, composed of aluminum sheets and differently sized panels of glazing, with stained glass used for the central curvature.
One Bligh Street, Sydney
Australia boasts it's own slice of the future in Sydney's CBD: the hyper-modern One Blight Street, opened in 2011 by a cutting-edge team of Aussie and German architects. The 30-storey tower is packed with green features: a double skin facade to conserve energy, a sewage plant in the basement to recycle 90 per cent of the building's waste water, a full-height 130m open-air atrium to maximise natural light, and a 10m vertical garden irrigated by recycled water.

You can understand why stress reduction is such a hot topic. Stress is difficult to deal with. It can sap your energy and make you doubt yourself.

Sometimes it feels as though the minute we start creating, the world gets in the way. But have you ever wondered how much self-inflicted stress you're soaking up?

Social scientists defined Imposter Syndrome in the 1970's. It referred to that dreadfully unnerving feeling of being unable to internalise success. Some of us have a difficult time accepting our accomplishments. Some to the point where we feel fraudulent. Imposter Syndrome has been linked to the self doubt of high achievers. It's found itself nestling in the bosom of shame. But no matter where it resides, it comes from the eerie feeling

14 + 8 = ?
14 + 8 = ?
But what do they add up to?
8+14 = 22 ?
The country that became independent on November 22nd, was essentially made up of two negatives. Alfred Naccache put it best when he pointed out that "Deux negations ne font pas une nation".
The same divisions that we started up with stand today, in a different combination. To put it simply:
Those who claim March 14th are the "Lebanese Patriots" who fell out with the Syrians. When we all took to the streets during the "Cedar Revolution", its tenors mistakenly though that we were "supporting" them in their race to greatness. Actually, dear madam, we just wanted the Syrians out and the war really over.
March 8th groups the "Arab Nationalists" who prefer the certainty of the Syrian yoke to the unknown of freedom. The slaves of March 8th are fighting hard to protect their masters, and would rather die to make them rich than live free. Most of us would rather their tenors all went the way of the Dodo.
Today, each is backed into a corner, fighting "for keeps". How will it all end up?
8+14 = 13 ?
Many fear that they will drag us back to the beginnings of the civil war. Another April 13th. Blair's "opening" to
Yes, it would be unwise to underestimate the extent of Hezb's arsenal, or the killing network of the Syrian National Socialist Party. But with increased coordination between the Saudis and the
Most likely; nothing will really happen for the next few days, save for a few incidental shootings and their unintended victims among the nation's youths. However, Tuesday, December 12th, is a critical day to watch. At least till one side grows desperate enough to break the stalemate. My guess was that March 8th would move first, and they did. Now they're in a pickle.
Over the coming weeks, as they find themselves cornered in
Or will they throw a bone to Aoun, already badly damaged goods, and wait for the Christmas season to be over?
8 + 14 = 0 …
That's how much will be left of
Incidentally, that's about how well the economy will do this Christmas season, in spite of a few brave efforts. At least the media business is doing well, especially its fear mongering segments.
Since I fear Hezb is playing for keeps, I expect at least a war in the longer term.
The "market" is not ready right now; AK47's and M16's are still priced way above 500US$, and bullets are still too expensive; when prices go down (around 100US$), start packing. The longer it takes to start, the harder it will be for the braying masses gathered in
But, whatever happens, whatever everyone does, this government will stay, in one form or another. That much was made clear by Prime Minister Siniora's speech. Incidentally it was a great TV moment; a joy to watch the PM deflating the Great Shater Hassan. Al-Moutanabbi had also claimed to be a prophet, but had the courage to make a clear claim.
And he made better poetry.
The net result of all this will be nothing. Still, I fear that the new prophet may not back down so easily…

The win pushes the Blue Devils to 8-0-1 on the year, while Wahconah falls to 0-5.
Reece Racette scored the game-winning goal, tallying in the 67th minute after Wahconah's Isaac Voltoline tied the game at 1-1 in the 65th minute.
Brian Christian stopped seven shots in the win, while Anthony DonDiego stopped seven shots in the loss.
Second Half
D — Jonah Miles (Jon Boland), 47:00. W — Isaac Voltoline (Hayden Contori), 65:00. D — Reece Racette (Boland), 67:00.

High School Cross-Country
SHEFFIELD >> The Pittsfield boys and Mount Greylock girls earned a pair of sweeps in a cross-country race in Sheffield. Hoosac Valley, Wahconah and Mount Everett also raced.
Mount Greylock's Sam Culver was the top male finisher in the race, running the course in Sheffield in 16 minutes, 56 seconds. The boys race was met with some controversy, according to Mount Everett coach Courtney Delorenzo, as some confusion on the course layout caused the top six male runners to go astray from the course on the third lap. The mix-up caused Evan Arthur, who had won all of his previous races this season, to finish fourth overall.
Pittsfield's Greg Fournier picked up his best finish against Mount Greylock on Tuesday. After finishing behind at least the top 4 Greylock runners in two races this season, Fournier finished second overall — his second second-place finish in as many races. Greylock's Cameron Castonguay, Arthur and Owen Brandriss rounded out the top 5.
The Greylock boys topped Hoosac Valley 15-50. Pittsfield beat Mount Everett and Wahconah by scores of 15-50, and Everett bested Hoosac 17-41.
In the girls' race, Smith finished in 19:39.7 to take her first win of the season. Teammates Niku Darafshi and Emily Lescarbeau came in second and third, respectively, while Gabby Orlando (Wahconah) and Hazel Scullin (Mount Greylock) rounded out the top 5.
In girls' team results, Greylock beat Wahconah 19-40 and Hoosac Valley 15-50. Wahconah beat Pittsfield 18-44, and Pittsfield beat Everett 15-50.
Team results — Mount Everett def. Hoosac Valley 17-41, Mount Greylock def. Hoosac Valley 15-50, Pittsfield def. Mount Everett 15-50, Pittsfield def. Wahconah 15-47.

On the moral bankruptcy of Wikipedia's anonymous administration
I announced, named, and launched Wikipedia way back in January of 2001. My originating role in the project was acknowledged by Jimmy Wales later on in 2001, when he wrote, "Larry had the idea to use wiki software…" Virtually all of the news articles about the project before 2005 identified me as one of the two founders of the project, as did the project's first three press releases, all of them approved by Jimmy, of course. I managed it as "instigator" and "chief organizer" for the project's seminal first 14 months. To give you an idea of what role I had in the project, Jimmy declared, a few weeks before I left the project, that I was "the final arbiter of all Wikipedia functionality."
Since then, I've become better known as a critic of Wikipedia. But this is mostly because I am defending myself against repeated attacks on my reputation and pointing out inconvenient truths that a more responsibly-managed organization would try to fix. Contrary to what some have said, I bear no grudges–once I have defended myself, I let matters drop. And I am not trying to damage Wikipedia. Rather, because I inflicted it on the world, I am trying to improve it because it has become one of the most influential websites in the world. I feel some responsibility for it, even though I'm long out of its administration.
I've been reading draft chapters of a fascinating book, written by some online friends of mine, about the history and conduct of Wikipedia and its administration. I knew that Wikipedia's administration is screwed up and somewhat corrupt, but these writers have opened my eyes to episodes and facts that I had not been tracking. However useful Wikipedia might be–and its usefulness is something I have always affirmed–the sad fact is that Wikipedia's administration has been nothing but one long string of scandal and mismanagement. The saga of Wikimedia UK and its chair is only the latest. Did you know that the deposed chair, Ashley van Haeften, continues to sit on the Wikimedia UK board, and continues to head up Wikimedia Chapters Association? This is despite the fact that van Haeften has been banned from editing Wikipedia, for various violations of policy such as using multiple "sockpuppet" accounts (anonymous, fake accounts), something truly egregious for a high-ranking editor. What kind of Internet organization allows its leadership to continue on in positions of authority spite of being banned (for excellent reasons, mind you) from the very institution it is promoting? Wikipedia defenders, consider what you are defending.
But again, this is only the latest in a long, long series of scandals, which included things like Jimmy Wales telling The New Yorker, of all things, that he didn't have a problem with someone lying about his credentials on Wikipedia, the hiring of a deputy director with rather dodgy views on child-adult sexual relations, and the hiring of a COO who turned out to be a convicted felon.
Let's not forget the problems associated with the many, many questionable editorial decisions made by Wikipedia administrators. Like the rank-and-file, they can be and often are completely anonymous. You read that right. The people who make editorial decisions about what is taken to be "probably pretty much right" by a lot of gullible Internet users do not even have to reveal their own identities. That's right. There are all too many Wikipedia administrators who self-righteously pride themselves on insisting that the full, ugly truth be revealed about the targets of their sometimes quite biased Wikipedia biographies; yet those very same administrators bear no personal responsibility for their actions, which can be quite consequential for people's careers and personal lives, insofar as they remain anonymous.
No other journalistic or scholarly enterprise would tolerate such unaccountability. The reason that journalists are prized in our society, the reason they are in their positions of power and influence, is that they have committed themselves to high journalistic standards and put their personal reputations on the line when they make claims that can damage their targets. Wikipedia, like it or not, enjoys a level of credibility but without personal accountability. The system has been ripe for abuse and indeed far too many Wikipedia administrators do routinely abuse the authority they have obtained. I look forward to the above-mentioned book because it will really blow the lid off this situation.
Wikipedia administrators bear a heavy moral burden to make their identities known. If you make serious decisions that affect the livelihoods and personal relationships of real people, or what students believe about various subjects, the price you pay for your authority is personal responsibility. Without personal responsibility, it is simply too easy to abuse your authority. Why should anyone trust the decisions of anonymous Wikipedia administrators? They could easily be personally biased, based on ignorance, or otherwise worthless. Worse, aggrieved parties–whether they are persons whose reputations have come under attack or scholars who are seriously concerned about the misrepresentation of knowledge in their field–have no recourse in the real world. If someone writes lies about you, there is no way you can name and shame the liar, or at least the Wikipedia admin who permits the lie. Instead, you have to play the stupid little Wikipedia game on its own turf. You can't go to the real world and say, "Look, so-and-so is abusing his authority. This has to stop." In this way, by remaining anonymous, Wikipedia's decisionmakers insulate themselves from the real-world responsibility that journalists routinely bear for their statements and publishing decisions.
If you were a Wikipedia administrator, wouldn't you feel absolutely bound to make your identity known? Wouldn't you feel cowardly, craven, to be standing in judgment over all manner of important editorial issues and yet hiding behind anonymity? I know I would. Why shouldn't we hold Wikipedia responsible for making its administrators' identities known? A Wikipedia administrator who refuses to reveal his or her identity is morally bankrupt, because unaccountable authority is morally bankrupt. Members of democratic societies are supposed to know this.
Even the so-called "bureaucrats," the people who are responsible for conferring adminship on an account, can be anonymous. In fact, from a glance at their usernames, most of them are anonymous.
It is a little strange that journalists, who are trained to understand the importance of taking responsibility for published work, have given Wikipedia a pass for this appalling state of affairs. It's one thing for Wikipedia authors to be anonymous, a situation journalists often remark on with bemusement. It is quite another for its administrators to be, a fact that journalists have hardly noticed at all.
Indeed, why is the fifth most popular website in the world, which shapes what so many people believe on all sorts of subjects, controlled by a cadre of mostly anonymous administrators? Isn't that fact, all by itself, scandalous? Why don't we as a society demand more accountability? I don't get it.
Wikipedia, wake up. We, the undersigned (let's make a petition out of this), demand that all administrators be identified by name.

Looks good, Larry. As one of the authors of said book, add my name to the list. We've collected so many examples of abuse by Wikipedia insiders, we could write 4 or 5 books just about those cases.

You somewhat remind me of Maurice Greenberg going around begging the board of directors to allow you to help them… within a year AIG was broke. The Ol' Chap was so disappointed his warnings went unheeded.
Cedric Thecat August 19, 2012 19:15 pm
As bad as the facts and circumstances set forth in this post are, the situation in its entirety is much worse; you are just scratching the surface here, Larry (as I'm sure you realize now). My research into Wikipedia's history has been disclosing that practically everything to do with its hostile and sociopathic culture stems back to certain decisions made and not made in the critical period of 2001-2003; many by "Sole Founder" Jimbo Wales himself.
Chief among these critical decisions was the decision by Jimbo to dump the Nupedia project and proceed with Wikipedia alone, doing "everything 180 degrees opposite" of the way it was done on Nupedia. This decision alone probably accounts for at least 90% of Wikipedia's dysfunctional governance.

What would you do with their personal information if you had it? Ring up their employer if they deleted something you thought ought not be deleted? Poke around the Internet and post photoshopped pictures of their family and friends for laughs?
Well, probably YOU wouldn't do that, but you are just one of many people listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Critics_of_Wikipedia – and I can assure you that your fellow critics such as the GNAA have done and will continue to do that. This is one of the reasons people would prefer their personal information be kept personal when they volunteer.
And they do volunteer. I think your analogy to journalists is quite flawed – journalists get paid, so they at least get some compensation for the risks they take.
And I find it ironic that the signers of this petition have chosen to preserve their anonymity while demanding it of others. (Who is "Cedric TheCat"? Who is "Vocal"?) Why do Wikipedia critics get to remain anonymous while they demand that Wikipedia administrators give up their anonymity?

I agree with Larry. (But declaring a slight conflict of interest here, as I am the other author of the book-in-progress that Larry mentions in his post).
Alex Perekati August 21, 2012 10:52 am
Of course anonymity of administrators should stop, but how are you going to achieve this in practice? What prevents a teen-administrator from using his father's name, age, occupation, or even from emailing a photo-copy of his father's driver license to WMF to "prove" his identity? Besides members of the Arbitration Committee are required to identify themselves to WMF. Did it make a difference in making them more honest? None whatsoever in my opinion.
Alex Perekati August 21, 2012 11:38 am
Mr. Wales is not an anonymous. Does the fact that his name is well known makes him more honest or less abusive?
The only way to achieve at least some kind of accountability on Wikipedia might be making WMF to govern Wikipedia, but this is not going to happen of course.

Casliber is open about his identity and Risker has disclosed hers on another Wikimedia site recently.
I do agree with the main point that Wikipedia is a powerful top-ten site that affects real people and therefore those with any power on it should disclose their real identities.
Mark Slater (LessHeard vanU) August 22, 2012 07:57 am
While it is true that administrators may be anonymous, same as the editorship from which they are drawn, it is a fact that some do (or in my case, did) choose to reveal their identity. I also feel you misrepresent the intended role of administrators – that of people conversant in applying the principles of the project to disputes.
Yes, there are those who abuse the implied authority and, worse, use their powers to pursue their own interests and viewpoints. The latter, I would suggest, is the major issue with anonymity within the encyclopia – the numbers of unaccountable writers who attempt to only portray a certain perspective on a subject or range of subjects. These individuals (and often groups) use many tactics to achieve their aim, and becoming an admin is only one of them,
The reason why I resigned as an admin, and have otherwise stopped contributing, is because I got burned out from trying to get people to accept that an encyclopedia needs to incorporate all relevant viewpoint, and without bias.
I suggest that being able to link a real person to an account – even if not visible to the readership – is one of the ways to counter the bias being deliberately placed into one of the major reference sites on the internet.
William Reid Boyd August 31, 2012 05:27 am
Yes. I completely agree with all of this Larry and I am grateful for your eloquent piece here.
Magnus Hansen September 16, 2012 10:01 am
I used to be an admin and I used to edit with my identity disclosed. No more. Simply being an admin at wikipedi attracts an insane amount of hostility from crackpots, from nationalist or extremist politicians and from a large group of people who are simply convinced that being an admin automatically means that you are a power hungry fascist and should be treated as such. I stepped down as an admin and began to edit anonymously after receiving threats online and off line, directed at my professional and personal lives. Editing with disclosed identity may be the right thing to do, but its not worth it. I do think that the problem would be mitigated if all editors had to disclose their identities – but having identified admins and anonymous users simply makes admins sitting ducks.
W.S. March 17, 2014 05:41 am
Larry, I agree with your diagnosis of the issue. It is good to hear from someone who ought to know the real story (even though every story is always subjectively told). I partly disagree with your conclusion, that volunteering admins should be identified to the public.
Given the weight of the responsibility of that job, I think that this would only be a stopgap. People who ultimately decide what is going to WP and how should ideally be employees to the company running WP, and they also should possess a firm education on journalistic principles and, most of all, ethics. Knowing the names of admins will be better than not knowing anything about them, but still nobody knows who these people really are and what their vested interests are. Given the impact of WP it is only to be expected that people and parties try to gain influence on its contents (especially politically relevant content), and becoming an admin in such an area would be a win for any party involved in matters related to these areas (namely: companies, political actors, PR agencies, high influence individuals…).
Also, making the admins identities public might make matters worse, because that gives mentioned parties access to a key resource of WP. Just like gaming companies are buying off "independent" lets-play video makers with a big audience to ensure positive critics for their games, companies and other actors will pursue those admins and try to win their love with whatever works. Given that these admins put a lot of hours into the work on WP, it is easy to imagine some of them succumbing to such offers, because after all, "they've earned it" etc. etc. The fact that there are companies and PR firms meddling with WP content already is no secret and I think proof enough that admins will be subject to bribery and threats once their identities are known. Magnus Hansens post above is another argument for that.
The only defense I see against that is having well paid, well educated people protected by law and a company that can afford a law suit or two and has a reputation to defend.

New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville will host another sport tonight.
Boxing will make its debut at the venue when Millville junior-middleweight Thomas LaManna headlines a six-fight card in the Event Garages at Thunderbolt. The show will be the first local professional boxing event held outside of Atlantic City since Merighi's Savoy Inn in Buena Vista Township staged a fight card on July 2, 2010.
A Motorsports Park spokesperson said the arena will be configured to seat between 600 and 700 fans. General admission tickets are $50 and $75. A $125 VIP ticket includes a meet-and-greet with former world champions Steve Cunningham (cruiserweight) and Ray Mercer (heavyweight).
LaManna (9-0, 5 KOs), who turns 21 on Monday, will face Erick Hernandez Perez (2-2-1, 1 KO), of Batesville, Ark., in a six-round bout. LaManna is coming off the toughest fight of his pro career, a six-round split decision over Yolexcy Leiva on Aug. 18 at Bally's Atlantic City. Perez, 21, had a four-round draw against Danny Garcia in Batesville on Sept. 29.
Bridgeton super-featherweight Moses Molina (1-1, 1 KO), an 18-year-old senior at Bridgeton High School, will try to bounce back from a loss in a four-round fight against Joshua Nieves (0-2), of Philadelphia. Molina suffered a third-round TKO defeat against Michal Chudecki at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City on Sept. 29.
Four other bouts are on the card, but Millville junior-middleweight Ismael Garcia (4-0, 1 KO, Atlantic City middleweight Isiah Seldon (6-0, 3 KOs) and Atlantic City welterweight Anthony Young (6-0, 2 KOs) won't fight after their opponents backed out. Seldon's manager, Jim Kurtz, said Seldon's bout against Trenton native Alando Swain (5-2, 1 KO) was scratched after Swain suffered a back injury last week.
Doors to the Event Garages at Thunderbolt will open at 6 p.m. with the first fight scheduled for 7. The prefight session with Cunningham and Mercer will be held from 5:30 to 6:30.

text: Hello guys, i have few question´s here about followliker bot. When you use followliker what are you doing with the other lets say 5 "fake" accounts? how do you promote your main account with them. Do you use your main account for followliker to autolikeing and auto following? why is it so important to use proxy for the fake accounts. Is there more risk using 15 accounts instead of 5 accounts on followliker? I just want to know what´s your plan with followliker with attention to your main accounts and the other accounts and what are you letting your "fake" accounts do. And i want to know the risk of followliker. not the best english but i hope you get the idea and please don´t give me some negative replies im only asking

Parks and Public Lands
There is a wide range of jobs on parks and public lands in this country, but their numbers depend on the economy and the priorities of Congress, the president, and state and local government budgets. During the late 2000s and early 2010s, state and local governments were reducing their spending and cutting funding to parks. The result was a greater dependency on volunteers to help staff parks.

Mexican man arrested after chase near Mitchell
A 35-year-old Mexican man was arrested Thursday after leading a local sheriff's deputy on a brief pursuit west of Mitchell.
The pursuit began around 3:30 p.m. when Davison County Sheriff's Deputy Steve Harr clocked Enrique Sanchez-Bedolla driving 60 mph in a 50 mph zone on Highway 16 about 3 miles west of Mitchell.
Sanchez-Bedolla allegedly failed to stop when Harr activated his emergency lights and sirens, and eventually made an aggressive turn onto 405th Avenue that caused the rear of the car to fishtail.
After making the turn, Sanchez-Bedolla apparently gave up the chase and pulled over. The entire pursuit lasted only 30 seconds, Harr said.
"It wasn't the high-speed chase that everybody thinks of," he said.
The only identification Sanchez-Bedolla provided was an expired passport, Harr said. Harr later learned Sanchez-Bedolla was in the country illegally.
After working with a translator, Sanchez-Bedolla allegedly told Harr he ran because he was scared.
Sanchez-Bedolla was charged with eluding and driving without a driver's license. He was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday morning.

This thread should have been called...
'Why don't I "sell" my S3 if I hate it so much'
I don't think Mike hates his S3, he just never fell in love with it in the first place!
This thread is starting to go off on a tangent. I think what Mike is trying to say, and I know exactly where he's coming from on this is:
The S3 is highly over rated for what it is, and further more, expensive too! Having owned various high powered cars and bikes the S3 just doesn't make you feel excited when you push the loud pedal, unless you've parted with the wrong side of £7K (plus buying the car to start with). My Impreza is a 95 WRX and it's miles ahead of the S3...MILES! It gives you a big kick up the **** when you accelerate and the adrenaline rush is just....well that. My S3 can't compete with that. It doesn't go sideways when you floor it, you can't flick it from left to right and it doesn't go round corners! Modified or not!! But then you have to look at it like this - the Impreza was built as a rally car, it was meant to handle BEFORE it was modified, so absolutely NO comparison.
It's the same with the Skyline, or, for anyone that's had a big bike, the adrenaline rush just can't be replicated.
I've said this before - I wanted to find a car that was the best of both worlds, as fast as the Impreza and turbo charged, four wheel drive but also practical and didn't look like I should be driving round with my tracksuit bottoms tucked in my socks. So, I bought the S3 and after a few weeks it was clearly not the car I thought it was.
Would I sell it? A month ago, I was contemplating an Evo, and, if I could've sold my car for £5,500 I would've bought one. Would it have been the right decision? Probably not. I could slag my S3 of for a month of sundays but it it was it is, a comfy, practical car that even after 13 years still looks ok, and has one of the nicest interiors I've come across. It's solid, and the 'birds' like it.......well, it always seems to be covered in bird sh!t. Seriously, people like it so I'd be hard pushed to change it. If money were no object.....then that's a different story!
Comparing an S3 to a Scoby is ****
Why not compare it to Megane, Focus ST and Alfa 147 etc
S3 ticks many boxes;
Comfort, luxury, speed, build quality, decent handling
Running costs are higher than others in its class....
If you hate the S3 but feel too snobby for the so called hot hatchs then stop moaning and keep it
I wasn't moaning about it at all, and as for being retarded, I'm far from it. None of the above cars are four wheel drive, where as the quattro can provide it when needed. The S3 is turbo charged and if going for a 225 isn't a million miles off a standard UK Turbo 2000 Impreza. From the outside, when you've never owned one, and don't know the pit falls the S3 sounds like a good compromise.
FYI, the Impreza costs the same, if not less to run than my S3, it IS comfy and the handling is a million times better! End of!
wow, iv only had mine 2 weeks and reading this threads making me think if iv made a mistake...
the fact is, id have no other hatch in our price range and anything your considering costs alot more, as its a different level of car. if its Imprezas and Evos were talking, in my eyes its only worth a change if going for the newer shapes.
p.s please tell me i did the right thing in selling my Civic Type R lol..
yes u did right thing
I had mine up for sale the other week and was looking at getting a civic tyre r, but after having nice long drive in the S3 dont think that anything would beat it in confort, speed and economy for the price...
when does power output turn an s3 into something else??
thats as daft a comment as this entire thread is..
completely laughble the lot of it
made me smile how its gone on this far..
pointless post to begin with..
enjoy keeping it going.. you have more time on your hands than i do..
Don't fall into the trap of comparing power across cars here... on paper the S3 and Impreza may well have similar peak power but the delivery will no doubt be totally different... putting the power graph of a std S3 against an std Impreza would be telling...
I personally have not driven an Impreza so cannot comment with any authority but I have driven std, mapped and BT S3's and the difference between them is obvious... Impreza's (from what I understand) drive more like BT cars with plenty of top end power, the lowly K04 is designed for low down power delivery and runs out of breath fairly quickly... Impreza will feel much quicker on the road because of this...
People are influenced far too much by peak power figures when they should really look at how that power is delivered...
In my opinion, the S3 is best in class. It is a combination of all the things I want out of a car. It's quick enough at the end of the day. It handles with poise and delicacy for a heavy car. It's great in the winter months. It's comfy inside. It looks nice, from both inside and out.
What else do you want? It's a rep mobile.
OK, it doesn't make the world spin backwards off the line in standard form. Wow..... If you want that sort of power, either buy something with that power, or bang some money into the engine, or buy an RS4.
If you bought one for immense power in the first place, it might of paid to do research.
I love mine, despite all the problems I've had with it.
Two words. Personal preference.
your right mate, to be honest the civics a lot more fun, and feels faster even though its not. but no luxury (not even an armrest) means its a bit hardcore. both are great cars though..
Yeh it basically has a bigger turbo giving a different power delivery. And being made from spit and tissues it sounds, feels and seems much more aggressive than the S3 with a K04.
I think personal preference is the thing here. I decided mine wasnt as great as i thought it would be 3 weeks after buying. But its ok. Power is ok, handling is ok, comfort and pracically is ok. I just expected some alot nicer than golf and something with slighly more prestige than an a3, but it isnt alot better than either.
Obviously posting about your dislike on a car to a forum of people who are mostly dedicated to their cars is going to get some unwanted reactions... Some would say biased.
i know where you're comming from Mike, I was going to buy an S3 after my last A3, but having driven a few, the upgrade just wasnt worthwhile!
To be honest the only down fall I found with the S3 was the weight when you chucked it into a bend, however it wasn't enough for me to change the suspension because apart from the odd crazy throw it in a bend moment I love the way it drives and rides the roads on a day to day...
It's hardly a surprise that the S3 feels slow compared to a Skyline, the 2 cars are in completely different markets,
After 2 and a half years of owning my car regardless of it getting older in today's market, it still makes me feel special everytime I drive it and feel it has a presence on the road...
The only car in my situation that I would replace it with would cost 15k+
Ps I had a play with an E46 M3 the other day from standstill and without going to silly speeds he didn't have much more than me, so to say the S3 is gutless is not entirely accurate...
Cant comment on this subject as never owned an 8L S3 I will one day. But if I wasn't happy with an car after 3weeks I wouldn't of kept it. Good luck with the sale
These S3's are perfect example on how a well looked after S3 should look like. Beautiful
Mike I'll apologise now for being blunt , here goes....
You spent 3k on the engine in the first place, did it not cross your mind to have it remapped again to get the best out of it? I mean hybrid turbo (plus the FMIC you already had fitted) with no additional remap sounds backwards. Please don't shoot the messenger here, I'm only probably telling you what you already know.
We ALL know that the S3 doesn't go around a corner that well in standard form. You add to that a little more power from stage 1, new hybrid turbo with your FMIC (possibly producing slightly more boost, with a nice new tight engine) and you'll end up going faster into corners using the standard brakes (even if new) and you have a clear recipe for a poor car. My car with just a stage 1 is poorly let down by the brakes, especially on repeated slowing.
To get the best out of the S3 you really do need to sort the suspension out properly. You say you had bilsteins, if you are using standard springs and ARB's then your bound to dislike the handling, it's not set up properly. I can only speak for myself here, but it makes sense to me to get a car that isn't great on the corners sorted in that area, then concentrate with braking and finally remapping/engine. You already have a FMIC and hybrid but what that gives is an unstable car, too much speed and not enough control to use it, mine is the opposite, it handles like nobody's business, in fact it's too sensitive and at high three figure speeds it seems twitchy, will be revising the geometry I think.
Hope you keep your car and get it sorted. Sounds like you have the makings of a really nice car.
Not sure If I'm loads quicker in the corners (more than likely) and with a stage 1 (+miltek/air filter etc) an E46 M3 is always behind me. Last one that thought I'd be in his rear view had a nasty shock. He gave a thumbs up though . All on privately owned roads of course.
Completely agree with you leggy on how the S3 makes you feel and about 15k+ for a car to better it. I've spent that amount buying mine and sorting it out with some new parts.
Well said.
I can't quote all the replies I want to reply to so I will reply to this one.
I spent £3k on a car I was already underwealmed by and it wasnt £3k I wanted to spend, it was repair work for a failed cam belt tensioner, again my fault. While the car was in bits it seemed logical to get a Hybrid, especially at the price I could get them at, so I changed it - It was also cheeper to buy uprated parts for the engine rather than OE so I did that also. With the bits I've got (filter/recirc/frontmount/hybrid/exhaust) on a cossie (which also came with 204bhp std) I'd be looking at somewhere in the region of 350brake, with the Audi (albeit 200cc less) I'm lucky if i'm hitting 250/260brake, so straight away i'm pissed off that I dont get as much bang for my buck (I realise that I've now opened a can of worms with regard to everyone telloing me you cant compare a ford lol - but i'm comparing an engine, please bear with me). The handling issue i've already said I believe is due to the previous owner just fitting bildstein lowering springs (not inches, but millimetres), however audi built a reputation of grip and handling with their quattro system and again its left me underwealmed - it gioves no feedback and anyone who's driven a proper 4wd will confirm this. I won't even comment on the traction control issue as its laughable.
To say that a E46 M3 always ends up behind you!!! well that must be down to the driver, as a RWD 319bhp car driven by a compitent driver will beat an S3 everytime - EVERYTIME - even in the wet.
I'm sure my car could be better (i will be getting it remapped) and i will get some adjustable rear bars made, but will it dramstically alter my opinion of the S3? I doubt it.
I like the look, thats why I bought it, if you read my post you'll see that its the drive that I say lets it down. However, I didnt buy a car just to look at it
What is its class out of interest?
Sell the car mate,you have made your mind up already that its not quick without having the work done so just sell it.
Just want to add my 2p to this with regard to performance.
I took the s3 to brands hatch for a track day.
Being a hot hatch I saw some done up scoobs and cossie sierra and knew that wasn't my league of car.
What we have is a hot hatch, compare performance to Clios hondas golfs and you won't be disappointed.
On the track I found the car although a bit Rolly at times but had very good grip and as I did a few laps I was blasting it out of corners tires squealing!
I found myslef following a number of cars people always mention on here, 182 Clio was the first, kept with it and eventually overtook it on the main straight due to the grip out of the ling right hander.
S2000, it was slightly quicker down the straights but track was still slightly damp from night before and again managed to pass that!
Same thing with an older boxster!
What I'm trying to say is the s3 does make a good performance car!
Firstly people compare it to silly machines!
It's a hot hatch, so compare it to hot hatches!
It maynot be as rewarding to drive but it's still very quick for what it is and in remapped for very quick! Not many other hatches are sub 6 seconds to 60 if you go down remapped route!
You get all this knowing that you can easily out do the majority of most modern hatches in most situations!
And you get this while listening to your Bose stereo and sitting in climate control and heated seats!
Name me another hatch that can do that!
As after all that's what it is!
Want something to compare to a scooby in speed? Buy an s4 or rs4!
Other wise face up that this is a great car for what it is - a luxury hot hatch!
I think that's a pretty fair way to describe it Paul
I think everyone is missing the point of what Mike is trying to say here though. From the outside looking in, the S3 seems like a good car. rom the inside looking out, it's a bit dull. It's a good car for the average driver - some of us are a little bit above that in terms of what we'd like out of a car!
Mike. Fair enough, you seem to have your mind set. Sell it as Voorhees has already said.
As for the M3, I kid you not twice I've out run an M3, I used to own an E36 M3, Impreza RB5, and this is my third S3. I don't have a point to prove here, really couldn't care less who says what, I know what my car is capable of in its current form and i'll tell you now, an M3 while near me on the straights is nowhere to be seen on the twisties, period.
FYI the E46 M3 is booked (BMW) giving 343Hp. E36 was 321Hp, you'll never actually get those figures and the majority of them are around 310/315Hp aparently mine was not 321Hp dispite BMW's claims even with a new spanking VANOS. Not a HUGE difference between a slightly modified S3 now is it!!
Yes the S3 is laughable as an S model Audi, but it was never going to be an animal with 210/225Hp and 4WD (sometimes lol). Plain and simple, you have to spend money in the right areas to get the best out of the S3.
Its a very big difference - 4wd losses are approx 25%, rwd approx 15% so its further removed with that also.
Listen, my comments have all been on how far removed I feel from the driving experiance, not what cars it can beat. The handling is BAD, anyone whos driven anything that remotely handles will confirm this, but yes it is also comfy! It gives no feedback, the driver is removed from the experiance and its not an immediate feeling of losing grip or feeling the surface and I believe this is down to the steering.
Am I pissed off that the mods haven't made my car quick or even feel quick? yes I am! as already stated i've done quite a bit to get to 250/260 brake which is about a 10% increase in power - Having had experiance of other turbo'd cars, I feel that its a very poor result of what is ineffect a good £2k of performance goodies - afterall I could build a 2.0L N/A engine to that power from scratch for that money or infact buy a supercharger kit for the 306 and have 325 brake without any other mods - I hope this explains how I feel.
People on here obviously aren't getting my point, in that my question was why do I hate my S3 so much and my reason for asking, is that it should tick every box and perhaps thats what the problem is, in that it does all the basics, but doesn't do any of them particually well, maybe if it were a std car i'd not expect as much from it as I do.
First of all mine is far more than just remapped and i'll tell you now it ISN'T quick, let alone very quick - there are also plenty of STD hot hatches that are quicker, let alone modded ones. I had a MKII Astra GTE with a calibra turbo engine and also an RS Turbo back in the 90's that was quicker than this to 60.
I do however, think you're description is correct, albeit we need to lose one word, which then makes it - a luxury hatch!
I do get your point!
I do understand where you are coming from. Can I suggest you have a rolling road session, determine your actual HP and see if it's down at all on power. With a hybrid, FMIC and a remap i'd expect to see 275Hp?
It would be a fairly quick car with that amount. But that does again depend on what the benchmark is.
I'd be interested to see what a 275bhp S3 felt like. The down side for me is that you have to spend a small fortune on getting the S3 to handle and make big power and bearing in mind the cost of the car new, compared to my impreza is a bit of a joke. Ok, my S3 has quite a lot of nice bits (no heated seats though) and it's a nice place to be when driving. It's also pretty quiet which is nice. The Impreza is a nice place to be for totally different reasons and that's the bit I miss with my S3. I miss the raw power and the ability to throw it at a corner, unsettle it and then drift it out of the corner with my foot hard to the floor and may be this is what Mike misses too?
I don't hate my car though, it's a good car, just over priced and expensive on bits and I think if you want to go balls out then there's a lot of other cars which are far better for the money, or even half of it at that!
~You bought the wrong bits if they did'nt realise the gains possible, and you did'nt finish the mods if you did'nt map it afterwards, and now (as ever) moan..
sell it and leave..
with the right hybrid and mods, mapping you can get over 300bhp
Its got:
front mount
forge recirc with yellow spring?
milltek catback
forged pistons
CR turbos K04 hybrid with cut back blades and 360 degree bearing
N274 bypass
Revo stg 1
Ok so it needs a remap to maximise the effect of the hybrid, but lets cut to the chase, its ****!
So Bill what would you recommend are the 'proper' bits I need, apart from a remap and a downpipe which I already know.
Once again, my remarks regarding the feel of the car have been overlooked - My grievance is with the lack of feeling the car gives the driver, the lack of confidence that it inspires in the dry and especially in the wet. This is my daily drive, its not a weekend special, but its the car I drive the most and I do want the best of both worlds, I want comfort and I want handling ability with feedback to the driver, there are cars out there that combine these two well - the S3 is clearly not one of them.
BTW if someone wants to buy it, then its on pistonheads lol, clearly you'd be doing me a favour
Mike, if what you want is more feel and response from the wheel then look at Suspension components. I've changed everything (where possible) on mine, and went for Compbrake top mounts, they do make the springs twang loads but they give a very very direct feel, totally different from what it was before.
You know what really irritates me, is that not one person has come and said "you know what Mike, you're right, what you need to do to sort the handling/etc is this........"
In fact I'm not really sure what half the replies are saying - afterall i've never compared it to other hatches, i merely said I expected more yet people are telling me to stop comparing or to simply sell it, which I suppose must be an agreement to my remarks over the car?
Separate names with a comma.

Depends on what you mean by "humanitarian." I co-chair an environmental action group that I just reorganized. We're directing our focus more toward illustrating lifestyle changes our 115+ list serve members could make - like urban gardening and the use of native plants - in addition to the political focus it had when I first started chairing. There is a point at which we have to start changing the way we live to become less dependent on coal and oil products, or we're going to starve ourselves to death.

Interesting point, I did not think of the correlation between environment and humanitarian, but I do see it now, since environmental issues relate to peoples' well-being. If we do not take the initiatives and use the resources we have available, it will be difficult for us as a nation to be self-sufficient. I am sure campaign revolves around many fine-line humanitarian causes. One thing that I do like is seeing the connections between different actions from organizations that take on for various actions for specific causes. Things look simple and can be simply done, but with large numbers the end results do deliver change.
I have an idea of starting a campaign with various Non-profits that would specialize in protecting the rights of women against violence by using various television networks to emphasize how violence against women is detrimental to the overall mental/physical health of a family. If certain countries can gain the support of television networks to emphasize the consequences of violence against women, then maybe the countries that aren't as advance as the United States and the European Union can get on board to change the cultures of the nations that still face gender discrimination.
My questions is to learn what organizations did to fight for specific causes. Thank you so much for your input. I greatly appreciate it.
