I have a christmas card that tells of Usnia longissima.  It lives across norhtern Eurasia from Siberia to Oslo on Alies siberica and Picea abies.  It is much longer than 20cm and is thought to be the origin of tinsel on Christmas Trees.  Unfortunately there are no details and nothing to verify.IceDragon64 16:31, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I moved the following uncited paragraph to the talk page until citations to verify each statement can me found. 
:Usnea lichen is important to note because it has life-saving potential.  Native Americans employed it as a compress to severe battle wounds to prevent infection and gangrene, and it was also taken internally to fight infections.   Usnea contains potent antibiotics which can halt infection and are broad spectrum and effective against all gram-positive and tuberculosis bacterial species.  Usnea has several unique characteristics which make its identification easy if stranded in the wilderness far from a hospital.   Usnea lichens can be easily identified by pulling back the outer sheath on the main stem.  Usnea lichens have an elastic pure white cord running through the center of the main stem.  Lichen species which resemble Usnea do not have this white cord, and appear grey-green throughout.  Usnea lichens do not change color throughout the growing season as do lichen species which closely resemble Usnea.

message: Moving User:Mahawiki and User:Arya_Rajya_Maharashtra's comments from the Response section on the main page to this discussion page.  This RfC is not about them.  The focus of this article is solely what I perceive as Admin Redvers' unnecessary use of a belligerent tone when communicating with me.  Arya and Mahawiki are NOT respondents here. 
I am not so concerned even with the fairness or unfairness or Redvers' assessment of the situation though I hold that it was indeed unfair.  My only concern here once again, is Redvers' belligerence and his 'not so veiled' threat to have me blocked permanently.
*Sarvagnya has accused me of incivility but he seems to forget the rude behaviour he exhibited on the same page.See this.

Talk:HMS Rifleman

message: HMS Rifleman
Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
Ir para: navegação, pesquisa
O HMS Rifleman foi uma canhoneira de batalha pertencente à Marinha Real Britânica (em inglês Royal Navy).
Seis navios da Royal Navy deram o nome HMS Rifleman.
Esta "edição", que servil em águas brasileiras em meados do século XIX, foi lançado ao mar em 1846, sendo uma embarcação a vapor, construído em madeira e movido a hélice, de tamanho reduzido e com armamento composto de nove peças, um pouco acima na artilharia quando comparando aos navios ingleses da mesma classe.
O peso do Rifleman era de aproximadamente 600 toneladas.
Este HMS Rifleman foi vendido em Hong Kong em 1869.
[editar] História
O Rifleman, juntamente com o HMS Cormorant, foram os dois navios da Royal Navy que atuaram mais próximos da costa brasileira, em meados do século XIX, no serviço de patrulha e repressão ao tráfico negreiro, obedecendo à lei Bill Aberdeen.
No final de 1849 o Lord Palmerston, comandando o Foreign Office, ordenou que a lei Bill Aberdeen fosse aplicada com rigor na costa brasileiro, portanto a canhoeira intensificou seu serviço de patrulhamento apartir do Rio da Prata, base dos navios ingleses.
Em sua vigilância na costa brasileira o HMS Rifleman aprisionou o paquete Santos e o enviou para Santa Helena onde este foi julgado num tribunal britânico.
Em 23 de janeiro de 1850 novamente entra em ação o HMS Rifleman quando este fez disparos no mercante São Sebastião e após a abordagem foi verificado que na verdade o navio foi confundido com outro, o Carioca, que estava em situação irregular perante as leis britânicas.
Em 16 de maio de 1850 um marinheiro inglês foi morto dentro do escaler do Rifleman quando um grupo de civis armados surpreendeu os marinheiros ingleses que se refugiavam na Ilha de Santo Amaro, litoral paulista, de uma forte tempestade. Este ação dos paulistas decorreu das atitudes da marinha inglesa na costa brasileira que irritavam a população agravando a relação diplomática entre o Brasil e a nação inglesa.

replies: text: I'm fairly neutral on this proposal, but I would not want to make the template too large.

replies: text: Well with one neutral vote and no objections, I'm tentatively putting it in. It's certainly a solids-only technique (useless for molecules); but on the other hand, this is "Electronic structure methods", not "Molecular electronic structure methods", and this technique is very widely used on the solids front. I don't think the template is too large yet, but if it were, I think there are better ways to shorten it without loss of diversity or content--e.g., by replacing Møller-Plesset perturbation theory, Configuration interaction, and Coupled cluster with simply Post-Hartree-Fock. Further thoughts? --Steve (talk) 16:11, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't seem right, because if you bought the stock at $20, it went to $50, then the number of shares outstanding increased due to some event (such as employees exercised stock options) causing the stock to drop to $45, this would still be stock dilution even though the price didn't go below the initial purchase price.

text: Alright, I suppose you are correct.  I would've changed it anyway, but I've seen anons and such go out of their way to change all the spellings in an article to British or North American even when the article is more tied to the spelling that it already has, but especially in articles that don't have any specific tie, like let's say, Atlantic Ocean has all British spellings, and an anon will come back and change it all North American spellings, really, British spellings are just as correct as the NA ones so there's no need to go through and change it all, usually I revert them and do the same for the opposite, and I have tended to do it to every article, even ones who have closer to ties to one side, but I guess since she is tied closer to the UK than the US, then you're right.., either way, I changed it for article uniformity as the article itself uses theatre not theater, so then this paragraph also should. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 15:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
