Talk:Duke of Gloucester

message: I have always wondered about this subsidiary title. Is it really a reference to the Battle of Culloden? Does that seem like terrible PR to anybody else? Surely anything which reminds Jacobite sympathizers or patriotic highlanders of that battle can only serve to make for awkwardness; you'd think that they'd have tried to put it behind them! Or can there be some other reason why Culloden, Scotland merits use as a subsidary title? Doops 20:04, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

While I don't directly support the above statement, I take issue with the description of the downtown as being very attractive. The core is made up of ugly storefronts and empty commerces. The construction on the outskirts of town hasn't helped this at all, of course, moving commerce to the outskirts of the city to the ever-present 'big box stores'. There is not one place in the downtown area that would seem sufficiently inviting for a coffee, cake and a moment of relaxation. No place for an ice cream or anything else. Why on earth did City Hall allow developers to build retail stores on the outskirts of town while dozens of business spaces sit empty and abandoned on Main and other streets? Now, there is no “heart of downtown”. 
Why have the City Fathers and Mothers done so little to try to beautify the town? Much can be done with benches, flowers, trees etc. Why is there no effort to make much of the river that runs through the town? There should be restaurants and coffee shops on those shores as one would find in other towns.. 
Do you think this statment is O.K?:

All I'm saying is that there has been speculation about Tizon's correlation/influence upon to two of the biggest icons in Latin American history, and in my opinion that makes her notable.

Talk:Guaranine

message: I've noticed other pages (e.g., Bawls) conflict with this page. So I want to put this here to make things clear. If anyone has any background in chemistry can add to this, it would be appreciated.
Several websites support the point of view from this page:
* About.com Saying they are different names for the same thing.
* Implying that guaranine is a marketing term
* "Guaranine is probably just caffeine bound to a tannin or phenol."
Although there are also sites that oppose this POV:
* Attributing guaranine's discovery to Theodore von Martius
And many other pages are simply mixed on the definition and say things like "experts say they may be the same."
As best I can tell, guaranine is identical to caffeine in molecular structure, but due to its exotic source, it is considered (by some) to be its own compound. This might be a marketing thing (guaranine sounds more exotic and carries none of caffeine's negative undertones).
--Daev 23:29, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Guaranine is not any more the mixture that it was for von Martius. For the ChemId Plus and ACS (CAS numbers) databases it is a synonym of caffeine. Same structural formula. When searching in ChemId Plus (either Lite or Advanced) look for all names and synonyms. Enter guaranine in its search box and read the findings, the formulas, the code numbers, the references, etc. Similarly, you'll also find that a synonym of caffeine is mateine, which still is believed by many to be different from caffeine. There is no doubt since the structural formulas are identical the substances are identical. In the respective plants they might bind with different compounds. But the pure crystaline substances are identical. For an ethnobotanical overview based on von Martius findings and their sequel see the Raintree Tropical Plant Dabase: Guaraná
