replies: text: None of the media bias charts/sites are considered to lend sufficient WP:WEIGHT to add such a label.

replies: text: Left-wing media is going to characterize media networks they disagree with, or that are even independent/center, as right-wing. And vice versa. It's like using Joe Biden as a source for information about Donald Trump, or Donald Trump as a source for information about Joe Biden. It's no secret that the majority of sources "allowed" on Wikipedia are left-leaning.

thread_title: Untitled

message: In response to why "J.A.R." was not a B-side from Insomniac: A B-side is a bonus track on a single, as opposite to the A-side (when single were released on vinyl, there was Side A and Side B). So in this case, J.A.R. was released as a single to the Angus soundtrack, so technically it was a A-side (and there was no B-side cause it was a promotional single).
Annyway, in the article it was saying that it was a "B-side from Insomniac", but "Insomniac" was an album so there is no B-side. I guess a better word would be an "outake", but I'm not sure if "J.A.R." was recorded during the Insomniac sessions, maybe a little time before.

Poudre won the regional competition with five IB seniors who would have to miss the English Paper 1 exam to attend. In their place, second-place Fairview High School will attend.
I was on Poudre's winning teams in 2007 and 2008. Since the regional competition on February 2nd, we have tried to get Science Bowl to allow a time slot for us to take the English test, and for me to take the Psychology Papers 1 and 2. Neither Science Bowl nor IB has budged, and the end result is that we will not be allowed to defend our title.

Talk:Archangel (Harris novel)

message: Like Harris's other novels he successfully recreates history, depicting a Russia on the cusp of change from its communist past to a more capitalistic future. The plot is full of suspense and keeps the reader engaged until the final page. 
Beria actually helped to kill Stalin by refusing to allow any doctors to attend him until a collective decision was made the following morning, by which time it was obviously too late to save him. Beria, as I researched later after reading the novel, was a victim of his own scheming, meeting his death in the NKVD's Lubyanka cellar with a bullet through the head. As it mentions at one point in the story, Stalin used Beria as Hitler used Himmler. Beria was possibly one of the most evil men in history, and his final torture and death were just desserts for the  terrible atrocities he committed on Stalin's behalf. 
Anyone interested in this period should read Simon Sebag Montefiore's 'Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar' which offers a fascinating insight into the world of Stalin and his henchmen. Ivankinsman (talk) 10:53, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
