Upload a link to the Bach page
Hi: I made a film on Bach and would like to put up a link on the Bach page.

My film is called BACH & friends. The two-hour documentary features Joshua Bell, Bobby McFerrin, Philip Glass, Béla Fleck, Hilary Hahn, Edgar Meyer, Simone Dinnerstein, Chris Thile, The Swingle Singers, Manuel Barrueco, Felix Hell,  John Bayless, Matt Haimovitz, Peter Schickele, Richard Stoltzman, Jake Shimabukuro, Zuill Bailey and the Emerson String Quartet. These world-class Bach players share their innermost thoughts and personal reflections on the power and genius of Bach’s music and perform some of his greatest masterpieces.

a jar of peaches
This was asked on Project Wombat:
 * Background: 30 years ago I had a regular Saturday babysitting job.  The local tv station played three, usually obscure, westerns in a row starting at 10:30 at night.  Depending on how good a time the parents were having I'd see from 1/2 to 3 westerns each weekend.  I have figured out what all of them were except one, which I only saw about 1/2 of.
 * What I remember of The Western: A man is on the run from jail or a posse or a chain gang.  He is ill or shot and wearing shackles on his hands and, I believe, feet.  He hides in the root cellar of a house where he is discovered by a young woman.  Somehow a jar of peaches gets broken on the floor.  She takes him upstairs to nurse him and it turns out she is the sheriff's daughter and he is in the sheriff's house.  The sheriff comes home.  A lynch mob forms outside the house demanding the prisoner be given over to them.
 * If anyone can give me the title I'd appreciate it. I'd like to know how it ends.

Reckon it can't hurt to relay the question here. —Tamfang (talk) 19:03, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I have some memory of a similar movie. I think the man in question was a Clint Eastwood character, but I can't place the film.  See Clint Eastwood filmography for a full list, and mayby look yourself.  -- Jayron  32  19:40, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Could it be A Man Alone (1955), directed by and starring Ray Milland. IMDb does include "canned peaches" among the film's keywords. ---Sluzzelin talk  20:33, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

runescape
in runescape i got this golden hammer by opening a golden cracker, can anyone tell me what the hammer does? how does the entire golden cracker thing work (I think I got it as a christmas thing or as a celebration thing from jagex)?70.241.19.66 (talk) 23:21, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You can use it the same way as a normal hammer. The only differences are that you can wield it (freeing up an inventory spot) and you can do two special emotes using it. Right-click on the item while you're wielding it to use the emotes. (The hammer was given away to celebrate Jagex winning a Golden Joystick Award two years in a row.) 90.195.179.14 (talk) 01:12, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
