Talk:Francis X. Bushman

message: Possibly toward the very end of his life in the 1960s, Francis X. Bushman was on phonograph record with the title "Fancis X. Bushman Speaks." It appeared to have been edited down to the 40 minutes or so (all that would fit on the 2 sides of the LP) from a much larger source, as there were frequent gaps and cuts. It was definitely a home made job from a friend or relative with a simple cassette recorder and microphone. You can hear background sounds and household activity. Anyhow, this recording was to me most fascinating. The power and personal magnetism of this man jump right out at you. He spoke so clearly and fluently and with such perception and intelligence, and he prounounced words enunciating each syllable (they don't do that any more! When is the last time you heard someone say today or tonight with an O?) that I thought how ironic this fellow was a "silent" movie star! I did learn from the recording that Mr. Bushman during the 1920s had a "talk radio" show in Chicago, perhaps the first. And I read somewhere that his biggest fan was Al' Capone. Gloria Swanson and other stars passing thru on the S.F. Super Chief would come up to his studio during their layover. I think it was WGN in Chicago. Poor Francis X. Bushman, at the last to pay his bills he had to make a movie called "Ghost in Invisible Bikini." He was interviewed by the Associated Press and spoke with his usual zest and optimism about the picture and how he was getting ready to make another "beach party" movie with someone (a teenager no doubt) named "Fabian." Right after that he passed away. Such a great man.
But listen, if anybody reads this and knows WHAT is the source of that phonograph record? I would give anything (home, bank book, even my two favorite daughters) to discover the source of it, and where the missing parts of the original recording can be found. I hope they did not get erased! Does somebody, relative friend or neighbor, have them?
You may also want to add in the legacy section the Taz-Mania character Francis X. Bushlad, who was clearly based on the subject character216.183.185.84 (talk) 16:40, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Aracuan Bird

message: Does anyone know what the Mexican (or Venezuelan?) folk song is called that the aracuan bird's song is 'sampled' from? I've read it somewhere it's called either 'lilongo', 'lolingo', or maybe 'gorilongo', but I can't find it anywhere. It would be interesting to hear the whole song! (Try slowing the song/sound down from the film, and you'll hear part of it).

replies: text: I first heard about this in the late 1980's, in a television show called Disneytajm. In one episode Lasse Åberg, the host, plays the Aracuan bird's song, also the theme song of the show, at half speed. He mentions that the song originally is an old Mexican folk song "from a small village in the shadow of the big mountain Popocatépetl". This is just about everything I know. Mr Åberg has (by postcard) confirmed to me that it really is an upspeeded Mexican folk song, but he unfortunately didn't tell me its name, although I asked for it =( I have tried asking members of the Swedish donaldist organisation NAFS(k) (for example in this e-mail from 2002) for any information, but no luck! I've also asked people on a forum about Mexican folklore, but none could identify the song. Erulelyan (talk) 19:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:3-partition problem

message: The early example uses the undefined terms "feasible", "3-partition", "solution". As the example is important to help readers understand the 3-partition problem, the example should not used undefined terms. It should stick to the simplest possible concepts as explained up to the point where the example is given.
For the same reasons, it's unclear why 50% of the examples need to cover the relatively obscure restriction that all integers in S are between T/4 and T/2. This restriction is just one of many possible restrictions that do or do not preserve NP-hardness. The fact that this particular restriction happens to preserve NP-completeness does not make it fundamental. The article needs to be made clear why this particular restriction is so important that it is in the first example, or removed from the example. The same applies to stating the restriction in the opening section.
Finally, again for the same reasons, I think that using set notation for multisets is questionable. The notation { a, b, ..., x } is standard for sets, and a set contains no duplicates. The example uses the same notation for a multiset. At a minimum this should be explained, but perhaps better is to use a different standard notation. For example, to state the problem, one does not have to use multisets - one could use a list, a tuple, or something else. Perhaps this is better than using a multiset.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:877F:DD20:F995:62D8:6750:5649 (talk) 22:21, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Undefined terms and questionable notation in the early example 

message: I believe there is a mistake in this article. the 3-partition problem is about partitioning a multiset into three partition. the problem presented here is obviously not NPC, it is in fact P. you made my friend believe he proved P=NP :)
Nope. the problem is stated precisely like this in Garey&Johnson, problem SP15. The Wikipedia article just leaves out an additional constraint (all numbers between B/4 and B/2 where B is the desired weight of all the partitions), but this doesn't affect the hardness. 88.73.61.8 09:27, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Where is he buried?

message: In Jack Benny's autobiography, Sunday Nights At Seven (co-authored by his daughter Joan), he claimed Percy Kilbride became a star when he appeared in the movie, "George Washington Slept Here."  Benny was offered the lead role in the film, so he went to New York to see the play on Broadway.  He was impressed by Kilbride's performance as Mr. Kimber, and insisted that he be allowed to reprise the role in the movie.
Benny said Kilbride was a "strange little man."  He always insisted on a certain salary for his film roles - no more and no less.  He had no friends.  Benny wanted to make him a regular on his own radio program, but radio made Kilbride nervous and inhibited his performance.24.56.113.27 (talk) 21:25, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I watched Doc quite regularly when it aired on the netlet that has gone through three names in the last two years, and I don't remember there being a wedding involving Clint and Nancy. (I may have missed something, but I think I taped it, and will get back to it) As it was, I think Doc's cancellation was rather abrupt, ending seemingly on a cliffhanger.

message: As the adoptive parent of a teenager with hydranencephaly and also a two year old who was diagnosed in utero, I for one am glad to see some optimism included in the description of caring for a child with hydranencephaly. While it is true that the prognosis is generally poor, there are many exceptions to the rule. I personally have met many (over a dozen) children with hydranencephaly, all of whom are doing very well despite the poor prognosis they were originally given. My daughter was given weeks to live. She is now 13 years old. Though obviously disabled, she is happy and healthy. My youngest daughter faces more significant issues, but is continuing to improve and progress daily. Changing the links to support groups and constantly changing the description and definition of hydranencephaly is counter-productive on this wiki page. I have been to both discussion and informational pages. I suggest to both parties (neuronormal and alinichole0619) posting that the links be included to all sites hydranencephaly related. Let the readers who click on the links decide for themselves which is most helpful.
