clanahaha
ClanAHaHA is the affectionate nickname of the Adult Heathens and Heretics Association. They are a group of adult gamers that play RuneScape together. The clan that they formed has a website www.clanahaha.com This site is the forum that is used to keep in touch and organize events. These group of adults consisting of age 21 and older RuneScape players do things together, called "clan events" in the Runscape relm. They have a wide age range from age 21 and up some into their 40's, 50's, even 60 and above. the average clan members age is 42. This social group was formed by RS player names romeo3333, bisquirrel, cmydob, and talwyn. They were in another group as moderators and decided that it was corrupt and felt that it infringed on peoples basic rights to be represented by their leaders. There were a few other people that were invited in AHaHA's folds in its conceptual stages. There were power struggles after a few months, between the concept creators and a few contributors whom felt they should be in control of power. Those few that felt that they should be in charge had a revolt and left to form a much smaller clan. The AHaHA group founders set out to create a membership ruled community. They decided to share all control and responsibilities equally through majority vote. In just over 1 year AHaHA had well over 100 members join. The most unusual thing about AHaHA seems to be that AHaHA has only one rule "to have fun in a respectable manor". AHaHA does have suggestive guidelines. They only use guidelines to protect and keep the clan as a strong family unit of friends And remind people to play nice at all times. The guidelines are decided by the membership through a majority vote, and controlled by that membership. The clan was based on a few simple concepts. Concepts such as "Every member has a voice and a vote", "a group by the people, for the people" and "a small active group of friends is better than a large group of inactive strangers". AHaHA during its beginnings tried to get the url ahaha.com, but it was taken, so they settled on www.clanAHaHA.com to represent the unity of a clan or family in its url as well as the "humorous" AHaHA abbreviation. The clan officially opened October 10th 2006. They have become one of the top, of the few adult clans in rs in many peoples opinions, offering a place for adults to gather to enjoy and discuss a game that they all share in common. AHaHA has many members whom have children that play. A sub-section of AHaHA was formed called Tyrants to represent members children under age 21.

Stanford Hall (Loughborough)
Stanford Hall is a Stately Home in the village of Stanford on Soar in Leicestershire, UK.

The hall was originally built between 1771 and 1774 for Charles Vere Dashwood. Perhaps the Hall's most interesting owner however was Sir Julian Cahn who bought the hall in 1928 and proceeded to make many additions including a professional grade theatre designed by Cecil Aubrey Massey

Sir Julian Cahn died in 1944 and the family was forced to sell the house to the Co-operative union in order to pay death duties. The hall stayed in the ownership of the Co-operative union until it was sold to the Raynsway Group in 2001.

The property developer Chek Whyte purchased the hall in 2007 and has announced a large scale renovation of the property.

Tanky-Wheely
The Tanky-Wheely is a form of tank that travels on wheels, not treads like most tanks do. This tank is specially armoured to resist any sword. However, a well-placed pistol shot will knock it out of action (blow it up)! This makes the Tanky-Wheely especially effective, because almost no one has guns these days (exerting the Americans). The Tanky-Wheely also has an effective crossbow mounted on the top hatch. Most tanks have machine guns, but we prefer to be primitive. My friend, Bobby, is here beside me, comforting me in times of distress. He is a womp rat. He is also a Winky-Dinky. This is the end. I am leaving now. (quote from The Lord of the Rings). The end. I vanish (like Bilbo).

Barry Dolinger - Prodigy
From the Principal's Desk Mepham Today 2002 - 2003 By John F. Didden, Principal

The opening of the 2002-2003 school year brought us back to September 11, 2001 as we dedicated a memorial peace garden in the "circle" on the west side of the school. The garden was dedicated to the memory of those who were lost on September 11, 2001 and was made possible through the generosity of the Alumni Association and the PTA. The garden serves as a reminder of our need to work for peace among all people.

The opening of the new school year also allowed us to unveil a number of major building renovations in the form of two general classrooms created out of what had been an architectural drawing room, two new art rooms in the former wood shop, a new chemistry lab in what had been a home economics room and an additional general purpose science room made from a former office and math classroom. This summer, our auditorium will receive a major face lift as will the front walkway. Our district is working hard to make sure that our buildings continue to serve our students well.

This fall also allowed us to look at some of Mepham's latest academic accomplishments including an 82% Regents diploma rate and 84 Advanced Placement Scholars. Both of these statistics are all-time highs for Mepham and keep us in the "top" ten or twelve schools in Nassau County. The AP Scholar accomplishment according to a Newsweek survey ranked Mepham 122nd in the country in that category! In January, we were delighted to learn that our valedictorian, Barry Dolinger had been named an Intel National Science Research Semifinalist. Our students are also excelling in other areas as well. In recognition of our students' successes, we inaugurated two new honor societies, the Tri-M Music Honor Society and the English Honor Society. Mepham also "piloted" a new program that enables our seniors to participate in "real-world" projects and internships. One senior, for example, worked as an intern with the lighting director for the Broadway show Thoroughly Modern Millie. Seniors love the program which encourages them to apply what they have learned and to explore careers of interest to them.

Outside of the classroom, Mepham students enjoyed our usual exciting sports activities with the spring conference championships being won by our baseball, softball and girls and boys track teams. Our drama club put on The Good Doctor in the fall and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat for the spring musical. With all the numerous activities going on, Mepham High School never sleeps. In fact, the A World of Difference club sponsored a "stay awake-athon" that raised money for charity. We also hosted our second annual Senior Citizen Prom [see below] and the District's annual Senior Citizen Luncheon. A great time was had by all.

The end of a school year also signals the retirement of some of our favorite staff. This year my secretary, Anne Palkovich and main office secretary Frances Branca are retiring. Anne has been here for thirty-three years and has served five principals. She and Frances have given so much to the school over the years that the "Mother School" will not be the same without them.

We close this column as we always do_thanking the incomparable Mepham Alumni Association for its continued support and inspiration. Thank you all!

From Scuttlebutt, Summer 2003.

UPLB Thespian Circle
The UPLB Thespian Circle is a recognized student-based non-profit theater organization at the University of the Philippines Los Baños.

As such, TC’s repertoire has been varied from realistic to expressionistic forms. TC has produced western classics, romantic comedies, social and psychological realistic plays, dance-drama, musicales, and even children’s plays. Since its inception, TC has already mounted more than 30 productions on and off campus. Its most recent production was Dennis Marasigan’s Ang Buhay ay Pelikula directed by John Victor Canta and staged at the D.L. Umali Hall on September 3 and 4, 2007.

The UPLB Thespian Circle also aims to foster a genuine love for drama and promote Filipino culture using theater as a tool for communication. It has been collaborating with other theater and cultural groups within and outside of the University and has been conducting workshops for people of all ages. Now on its 18th theater season, TC is producing Rolando Tinio’s Pilipino translation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the D.L. Umali Hall in February 2008.

Michel Vigneault
Michel Vigneault was a Canadian professional wrestler, known by his ring name Michel "Mad Dog" Martel, who competed in North American and international regional promotions including Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling, Stampede Wrestling, International Wrestling Enterprise and the World Wrestling Council during the late 1960s and 70s. He was also one half of The Mercenaries with Frenchy Martin.

One of the most popular Canadian stars wrestling in Puerto Rico during the mid-1970s, his mysterious death in 1978 has long been subject of controversy and speculation. Heavily promoted by WWC promoter Carlos Colon that Martel had died as a result of a "heart punch" used by wrestler Jose Gonzalez during his last match, it has long been the subject of rumor that Martel's death had been caused by an injury suffered in the ring, ranging from a ruptured aorta or broken rib which punctured his heart although this has since been revealed as "kayfabe" used to promote Gonzalez's feud with Frenchy Martin and Michel Martel's younger brother Rick Martel.

Early career
The eldest of six children, Vigneault was born in Quebec City to Fernand Vigneault and Evelyne Harvey in October 1944. During high school, Vigneault became involved in powerlifting and began working nights as a bouncer and bartender in local clubs. It was during this time that he would meet his future tag team partner Pierre Martin.

During the late 1960s, he began training with his uncles Real Choinard and Aldrick Harvey who wrestled occasionally for promoter Johnny Rougeau. In 1968, he began touring northern Ontario during the summer for Larry Kasaboski. During his time in the area, he was trained by Vic Tanney and later wrestled for Johnny Rougeau in Quebec for a time before traveling to Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling.

Stampede Wrestling
During his time in Stampede Wrestling, he would gain early success as a singles competitor becoming involved in a high profile feud "Cowboy" Dan Kroffat before teaming with Danny Babich to defeat Earl Black & Tiger Tomasso for the Stampede International Tag team Championship in Calgary, Alberta on October 1, 1971. However, their championship reign was brief as they lost the titles to Chin Lee & Sugi Sito less then two weeks later.

He and Babich would later defeat Tiger Joe Tomasso & Gil Hayes to recapture the tag team titles in mid-December only to loose the titles to George Gordienko & Super Hawk on December 16. Rebounding a week later, they won the titles back from George Gordienko & Super Hawk on December 23 and held on to the titles for almost a month before loosing to Dan Kroffat & Lennie Hurst in Edmonton, Alberta on January 20, 1972.

Winning back the titles in Calgary on February 9, he and Babich would eventually loose the titles to Carlos Belafonte & Gino Caruso two months later. While in Calgary, Martel would also occasionally return to Quebec from time to time as well as travel to Mexico where he wrestled as The Lumberjack.

The Mercenaries in Japan & Puerto Rico
By the mid-1970s, Martel had become an established star in Stampede Wrestling and persuaded Pierre Martin to enter professional wrestling as well. Martin eventually agreed and, after training with several veterans in Quebec, Martel brought him into Stampede Wrestling during his first year as Don Gagne.

They soon began teaming together as The Mercenaries, their in-ring personas closely mirroring the Quebecois nationalist movements active in Quebec during that time, and began wrestling in Montreal and the Maritimes for Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling as Michel and Pierre Martel feuding with Leo Burke, The Beast, Rudy Kay and Roddy Piper.

However, it was in Puerto Rico where The Mercenaries gained the greatest success, when his friends Carlos Colon and Victor Rivera established the World Wrestling Council the previous year. Signing with the promotion in early 1975, he and Martin would defeat Vikingo & Ciclon Sudamericano for the WWC North American Tag Team Championship in Caguas, Puerto Rico on April 8, 1975.

After loosing the titles to Jose Rivera & Ciclon on August 2, they also had a brief stay in the Cleveland-based International Wrestling Association facing Johnny Powers & Pez Whatley in Walpole, Massachusetts on October 1. However, negotiations to sign with the IWA would later fall through due to miscommunication with promoters Pedro Martínez and Eddie Einhorn including being unable to attain a work visa among other issues. Later that year, they would also began touring Japan as Combat defeating the Great Kusatsu & Mighty Inoue for the IWA World Tag Team Championship in Tokyo, Japan on November 3 before loosing the titles back to Kusatsu & Mighty Inoue in Yokohama, Japan the following month.

During the next two years, The Mercenaries would become one of the most popular tag teams in the promotion and feuded with many of the of the biggest stars of the era including Carlos Colon, Jose and Johnny Rivera and The Moondogs. He and Martin would eventually be joined Danny Babich, Martel's former Stampede Wrestling tag team partner, who became the third member of The Mercenaries as Daniel Martel. Later defeating The Medics for the WWC North American Tag Team titles in May 1977, he would feud over the tag team championship with Jose Rivera & Hercules Ayala and eventually won the tag team titles twice more with Babich before the end of the year.

He would also team with his brother Rick Martel in Quebec soon after his brothers debut as well as in Georgia and Calgary where he also briefly feuded with Leo Burke over the Stampede North American Championship defeating Burke for the title in March before loosing it back to him the following month.

Death
On the night of June 30, 1978, Martel was wrestling at a WWC event in Ponce, Puerto Rico appearing on the undercard in a 6-man tag team match Pierre Martin and Jack Lafarb facing Carlos Colon & The Invaders (Invader I & Invader II). Although showing no signs during the match, he complained of suffering discomfort during the match to his tag team partner while backstage preparing to leave for the night. Although Martin had offered to take him to a hospital, Martel claimed he felt better and wasn't necessary instead wanting to go back to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

However, within minutes of leaving the arena, Martel began suffering some sort of heart attack asking Martin to pull over to the side of the road. Martin attempted, but was able to vomit, and his lips began turning blue. Although Martin drove Martel to a nearby hospital only five minutes away, Martel was pronounced dead on arrival and attempts to resuscitate him would fail.

Rick Martel, now 21 years old, would eventually be flown in to Puerto Rico to identify his brother and eventually charged with bringing his body back to Quebec. His death was not only announced by Bob Leonard in Stampede Wrestling but also the World Wrestling Council where promoter Carlos Colon and Jose Gonzalez would use Martel's death to promote a long running feud between The Invaders and Pierre Martin & Rick Martel with the promotion claiming that Martel's attack had been caused by Gonzales using the then banned "heart punch" during their last match. This incident was later brought up when Jose Gonzalez stabbed American wrestler Bruiser Brody to death at a WWC show in 1988.

Although drug and alcohol use had been speculated as contributing factors to his death, Rick Martel, Pierre Martin and others believe that Martel's main artery had become blocked during the match causing him to suffocate later on during the night.

 * Comment. The present International Wrestling Association article refers to the Puerto Rican-based promotion established in 1994, however there have been several other notable promotions which have used the name. As a result, many articles are often mistakenly referred to the Puerto Rican promotion instead of its intended promotion (this is also the case for International Wrestling Enterprise being confused with IWA Japan). I've listed each promotion, in order of years in operation and geograpfic location. 72.74.214.181 (talk) 07:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Locust SMS Community
'Locust' was set up in 1996 by Jon Anderson, who negotiated a flat fee with Orange for the sending of text messages.

Subscribers could receive unlimited text messages for £2 a month, and over the years Anderson's community built up to over 600 users, who used his service for SMS-based games, news and instant messaging.

Orange decided to stop the tariff Anderson was using, and Locust went into decline over a few months & then went into extinction.

Credits for the service could be gained by running an RC5 client for Team Locust.

A huge community protest developed and Orange gave in initially by liasing with OrangeImagineering, Locust was granted a stay of execution.

Some of the memorable users were sumi, jud, sammi, crollster, spyder, simbo, nickp, jappitts, emily, alfie, rapunzel to name but few.

Locust used a series of commands that could be sent by SMS, or via the website.

Commands such as p, xchat, mail

Email could be sent one line at a time up to 8 lines max.

Tarsus - space empire game
Tarsus empire is part of a growing number of online games that are [|browser based]. Tarsus Empire is based around an alien race called tarsians. There are 3 other races in the galaxy who are all competing for domination. Each player in the game takes on the role of an Empire which belongs to a chosen race.

Each Empire starts with one planet which is created when they register. To grow and succeed they must build fleets of ships and send them out to conquer other planets. Every Empire gets 1000 credits a day which can be used for such things as building ships. This makes the game more about the skill of building the right kind of ships rather than how long you've been playing.

Building ships and attacking really is the core of the game as there is a near infinite number of types of ships that can be built. Each variation greatly determines how a ship performs in combat against another ship. For example a ship that costs 5000 credits may easily beat a ship costing 10000 credits if its built correctly. This is what makes Tarus differ from other online games because it is based entirely around skill and not how many times you can click your mouse or how long you've been playing.

There are also currently over 3000 users with more users joining everyday.

Extensive Reading
Extensive Reading is an approach to second or foreign language reading that emphasizes the fluent reading of easy, manageable texts with very high level of comprehension at or about the learner's ability level. In particular, it emphasizes enjoyment when reading and the development of a life-long habit of reading in a foreign language.

Extensive Reading is often contrasted with Intensive Reading which emphasizes careful, or close reading of a text with a typical aim of learning new language, or learning or practising reading skills.

These two forms of second or foreign language reading are not mutually exclusive and can be compatible.

Kustjägarna
Kustjägarna / Coastal Rangers is located in Berga at Första Amfibieregementet, AMF1 (First Amphibious Regiment) and is a Swedish military unit. The unit is mainly focused on intelligence gathering, sabotage and in some cases amphibious landings.

History
Kustjägarna, KJ (Coastal Rangers) was created in 1956 and modelled after the British post-World War II marine commando forces such as the Royal Marines and the Special Boat Service (SBS), with the objective to create a highly mobile force which had the flexibility to operate behind enemy lines and conduct raids against an invading force in the littoral areas of Stockholm. The Coastal Rangers was during the late parts of the cold war (80s, beginning of 90s) used mainly as a very highly trained light infantry/commando regiment which main tasks was amphibious landings and Hand-to-hand combat. Because of this alignment it was very important to have high discipline, strenuous training and a rough attitude. But now (2000-present) when the task is changed the company has changed it's attitude to be more humble, calm - to fit their present tasks better.

Organization
KJ is a part of Första Amfibieregementet, AMF1. The Coastal Ranger-company's main task is gathering information to be used by the other parts of the Amphibious Regiment, by that mean KJ is gathering intelligence to be used when the Amfibieskytte (marine infantry), the robot platoon, grenadier platoon or other fighting parts of the regiment is preparing for assaults/amphibious landings.

Operations and training
The KJ main task is intelligence gathering, sabotage and secondary direct warfare using amphibous landings or land warfare. The unit can be deployed with helicopter, boats, cayaks, diving(attackdykarna) or surface swimming.

The 6 men teams operate in small autonomous groups trained for long term independence and autonomy. Each group consists of a group leader and a deputy group leader, a sniper, demolitions expert, medic and communications expert. There is also a specialized sniper-group which consists of 6 persons, they are then divided into pairs (one spotter and one shooter) which is able to to reconnaissance, sabotage and other tasks in pairs for up to 30+ days.

The unit is made up of conscripts who have all volunteered for the special service, commissioned officers and reserve officers who in most cases are former KJ conscripts. Previously the complete training program was 15 months but from 2007 and on it's 11+6 months (when you've done 11 you can sign for the last 6). It is considered to be one of the most physically and mentally demanding training programs within the Swedish Armed Forces. To be selected to go through this course you first need to pass the ordinary armed forces test, if you Finnish it with good results you may be eligeable to put in an application. When you've done this you may get called to a 3 day selection process where you conduct physical and pshycical tests. At the end of the tests you conduct a marsch with a 65lb (30kg) bergen that will prove if you got the right motivation. The unit recruits commissioned officers from other military units which have to undergo a rigorous selection program and training, culminating in the “Neptuni Marsch”. This test is classified but includes marsching for days with very limited amount of rest, writing tests and shooting. The reward is the Neptuni Treudd which is one of the Swedish Armed Forces special training badges. A candidate can at any time during the training program be separated from the unit and sent home or transferred to other units in case the standards are not met. Injuries are common and injured candidates are frequently given the opportunity to come back the following year, if desired.

International Involvement
KJ have been involved in low intensity conflicts under UN flag notably Kosovo and Bosnia where they served as the intelligence platoon to KFOR primarily working with personal based intelligence gathering. At the KS01 (HUMINT) operation a Coastal Ranger platoon was relieving the Swedish Parachute Rangers. (“HUMINT”)

Insignia
The unit’s insignia (förbandstecken) is the Neptuni Treudd. This was worn on the green beret but is now worn as a patch on the M/90 field uniform and as a badge on the uniform M/87. The Neptuni Treudd (poseidon trident) can be worn on uniforms in any unit as it is an award for completed training whereas the insignia shows the affiliation to a particular army unit.

Motto
“Mod, kraft och spänst”

Songs of Praise
Songs of Praise was The Adicts debut album. It was released in 1981 through Dwed Wrecords, their ‘own label’ but essentially a division of Fall Out. ‘Viva La Revolution’, was chosen as a single. Ably backed by ‘Numbers’ and a non-LP track - the superbly-titled ‘(My Baby Got Run Over By A) Steamroller’ - it spent over three months in the Indie Charts, cementing The Adicts’s rapidly-growing reputation as one of the most innovative and popular bands of punk’s new wave.

Plan B Free Agency
Plan B free agency was a type of free agency that became active in the NFL in February 1989. Plan B free agency permitted all teams in the NFL to preserve limited rights of no more than 37 total players a season. If a player was a protected Plan B free agent, he was incapable of signing with another team without providing his old team the first opportunity to sign him again. The rest of the players were left unprotected, liberated to negotiate contracts with the rest of the teams in the league.

Ricoh Gill
Born 5th July 1985, Ricoh Gill was raised in Hounslow in West London. At school he met musical collaborators Paul Fulda and Sam Mackertich, who collectively went on to form Sonic Death, or as they were first known, Orion. They later changed the band name to Onslaught, but this was short-lived as they were threatened with legal action by a representative of a no-longer existent British metal band of the same name. They soon announced that they had changed name yet again at a show at The Garage in London, September 2004. Sonic Death list, amongst others, influences such as Slayer, Exodus, pre-Bob Rock Metallica, Sepultura, Destruction and Morbid Angel. Sonic Death is now on an extended hiatus, its founding members having moved to different parts of England for educational pursuits. Mackertich and Fulda now form half of Deceptor, who enjoy notoriety around the Birmingham and London metal circuits, amongst others.

Gill later went on to form Orifice Of Doom with Ben Heeney and Rob Clark in Brighton in 2005. Having drafted in several bassists, the band failed to appoint a long-term musician for the position for some considerable time. The newer band entails a slight change in direction for the guitarist but not a colossal one; being the only full-time guitarist in the band prevents him from the dual guitar harmonies that Sonic Death and their fans alike enjoyed but simeltaneously allows more interaction with prominent basslines. Orifice now has different line-up, including their first full time bassist Dan Savage. Heeney left the band citing creative differences (although remaining good friends with and also landlord to Gill) and was replaced by Jack Thomas, known around Brighton playing in such bands as Intrepid and Blind Eye Fury.

Ricoh is a long-time user of Jackson Guitars (flying v and warrior models) and Randall Amplifiers (RH Series).
