Preston B. Whitmore is the eccentric billionaire who funds the expedition to discover Atlantis in the 2001 Disney film, Atlantis: The Lost Empire. He was played by actor, John Mahoney.

Born in 1844 in Seattle, Washington, Whitmore was a graduate of Georgetown University (Class of 1866) before becoming the founder and sole owner of Preston Whitmore Industries, Ltd., an empire that encompassed logging operations in the states of Washington and Oregon; the Southern Rail Freight line; Whitmore Mining and Petroleum in Texas, Alaska Territories, and South Africa; Whitmore Stockyards in Houston, Texas; and P.W.I. Shipbuilding in Norfolk, Virginia.

Whitmore is also considered an eccentric, practicing Yoga long before it was fashionable and favoring a hiring system based on merit rather than on one’s ancestry, gender or ethnic background (a practice decades ahead of its time!)

An avid collector of rare antiquities, Whitmore spent sizable fortunes on expeditions to retrieve precious relics with the help of his longtime friend and advisor Professor Thaddeus Thatch (who he met back at Georgetown). Whitmore even accompanied Thatch on a number of these expeditions spanning the globe, sharing his friend’s ambition to find treasures and places of myth.

He also listened to Thatch talk endlessly about the Shepherd’s Journal, an ancient text which allegedly contained a guide to the lost empire of Atlantis. Doubting the existence of this text, Whitmore made a bet with Thatch that if he could find the Shepherd’s Journal, then he would not only fund the expedition to find Atlantis, but that he would kiss Thatch “full on the mouth.” Of course, Thatch did find the Journal in Iceland and Whitmore was forced to make good on his promise.

Unfortunately, Thatch was by now a laughingstock among his colleagues and he died a broken man. Whitmore was then forced to replace him with Thaddeus’s grandson, Milo Thatch, who shared his grandfather’s passion for Atlantis. And so, after hiring the finest crew available at the time, designing and building Ulysses, a state-of-the-art submarine and equipping his team with all the gear and supplies they would need, Whitmore saw the expedition off. The only reason he didn’t join the expedition himself was because of ill health.

Later, Whitmore helped cover up for Atlantis after learning their very survival depended on surface-dwellers being ignorant of its existence. For his generous assistance, Whitmore was given a special Atlantean crystal pendant that helped restore his full health and vigor.

Whitmore finally visited Atlantis himself in the Disney sequel, Atlantis: Milo’s Return, and was instrumental in reassembling the team for a series of adventures back on the surface. His fate thereafter is unknown.

Ed Labetski is a talented artist who is mostly known for his digital painings. It might not be accepted as an art-form by everyone, but he creates it like any other conventional art. He tries to make digital paintings more acceptable by making the result look to people in a familiar way, while using exclusively computers to create them. He has also held exhibitions of his printed digital paintings[5][6][7] (in fact, the very first of its kind in Estonia) to bridge the gap. Ed does not have a degree in art, but he has studied conventional ways extensively and also paints using conventional techniques like oil.

Ed Labetski is also the author of Unitube webcomic.

Biography

[edit]

Ed Labetski was born in 1982.

Ed's parents have lived in Estonia for years. It was then a border-state of the Soviet Union. It's likely that there the fear of nuclear disaster was driven into subconscious particularily firmly during the Cold War and was passed on to the children. When Ed was a child, the Soviet Union collapsed, which was accompanied by rapid money devalvation voiding everyone's lifetime's savings. Bread had to be aquired for food stamps. Shops were rather empty, though it wasn't much different from Soviet Union era.

A turbulent time came along with Ed's turbulent teen years. His little sister has been sent to mental institution. People had to learn to value simple things, though many chose to drown their sorrow in alcohol, which happened also in his family. Estonia regained its independence and Soviet version of history was replaced by a contradicting account. This shook many people's world views. Some met it with angry defiance, others learnt to be healthily sceptical.

Things were going well for Estonia -- it could be proclaimed a part of Europe now and become a very fast developing country embracing Western world. Computerisation became a high priority and schools have been provided with computers so people could get comfortable with them at an early age. Ed took interest in art and seized an opportunity of using the Internet to self-teach different aspects of art -- from oil to 3D.

Ed tried to enter an art university, but was rejected. He went to work as a computer designer instead and kept drawing in his spare time developing a recognisable style. He has held exhibitions[5][6][7] and received several offers to buy his paintings. In 2003, he went to Spain on a whim and after some time was hired to paint over the entire bar's interior, then worked as a computer designer. In 2005, he returned to Estonia and became an art director of an advertising company. He still draws in his spare time.

The Federal Correctional Institution, Ray Brook is a medium security men's prison in the northern Adirondack Mountains at Ray Brook, NY. Constructed midway between two popular resort towns, Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, to first serve as the Olympic Village for the 1980 Winter Games, Ray Brook was designed to be converted to a prison and was wholly financed by the federal government. Its isolated location in the woods about four miles west of Lake Placid, and its spartan accomodations drew nearly universal scorn from the world's premier winter athletes, who disliked spending two weeks in a jail. Among the most critical were the members of the Soviet Union's acclaimed hockey team, which was upset by the "Miracle on Ice" United States squad that won the gold medal.

Richard "Ty" Reiber is a mountain man. Born in the scenic hills of rolling Pennsylvania in the log cabin that his father built, he has conquered the wildlife around him to epic proportions. Mastering every variety of beast he encounters, "Ty" has seldom come up against a foe he could not overcome. He has made deer bologna that has won him first prize for years at the Trout Deer Bologna Cook-Off. He has but one enemy he has never defeated, though he tries with gusto every day: Steve Wales. Steve Wales is a machine. He was created out of video game parts and a bubble gun, giving him amazing trumpet playing abilities. "Ty" often mistakes these trumpet calls for the sound of the hunt (as horns are often used to hunt foxes) and has thusly felt tricked by The Machine many times. Therefore, they are forever locked in epic combat. "Ty" is also a world-class Republican who drives a Republican car. It is only worth $4.66, which is twice the resale value in England, oddly enough. A master of the forest and of epic Rednecketry, "Ty" Reiber will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew him. He is not dead yet. He also has broccoli in his shoes.

A hand turkey is a drawing made to resemble a wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) by tracing the outline of the artist's open hand and adding various elements such as a wing, beak, eye, or feathers. In the sketch, the artist's thumb corresponds to the turkey's head, and the fingers correspond to the standing feathers typical of a turkey. Because it is so easy to draw, a hand turkey is a favorite project for children, especially during Thanksgiving because of the importance of the wild turkey in that holiday.

Rock Deputy was born a mortal man by the name of Cody Petruk, in the year of 1977. But at the tender age of 27 Cody had an awakening that shook the very foundations of our known universe. And lo, Rock Deputy rose up, like a Phoenix born out of the ashes, bringing colour and light to, what would soon be known as, the Dark Pre-Wakening of Society (or Prae Rock Deputius). It is said that, on the day of the transformation, the sky opened up and warm rays of hope flooded the Earth for 7 days in which there was no death or pain in the world, and the air was filled with the laughter of children. At the end of those 7 days a spiritual awakening occurred throughout the globe. Rock Deputy, or The Giver, left as quickly as he came, his mortal shell burst into a blinding white light revealing his true form that of pure energy. Now he spends his time forming stars and creating new galaxies. He still finds time to communicate with us humans by beaming down his thoughts onto the internet where many have benefited from his wisdom.

He can be often be found on Threadless.

Rock Deputy has been called "savior," "creator," and "Jesus Christ Reborn" but he insists he is not any of those thigns and actually does not believe in organized religion so much as one "life force" that permeates the atmosphere and controls the balance between good and evil. His abilities, however, surpass any mere mortal's and theologists are in agreement that this humble man is really a God.

[ [Todd and Evan] ]

[edit]

It is published sporadically throughout the week with the idea being a new comic every Wednesday.It is written by Todd Michael R. and Evan Lusky, with art chores shared between them. The subject of the comic is at random and follows the whims of whatever these two seem to feel like writing about that week. It generally consists of the both of them living together in an apartment and Todd being the target of Evan's biting sarcasm.

Woodcote Housing Estate is part of Epsom Town. Owned by the Woodcote Brothers, of whom little is known about, the Housing estate has grown to be a large area of suburban mass interlinked with the surronding country side. The Estate is also home to the the large stately home called 'Woodcote House', or more commonly know to the resisidents of the Estate as the 'White House'. The Estate has little in the way of a community, but the youth members of the estate created 'The Woodcote Manhunt League'. This is a game in which the players in effect play a game of 'IT' or 'Tag', in teams around the estate. The Woodcote Estate also has a small forest area called the Millenium Green. It was recultivated from baron waste land into a large communal forest and boasts its large amount of wildlife.

You need an edit to your Ronald Reagan entry (I'm quoting Wikipedia here):

"His economic policy of supply-side economics, popularly known as "Reaganomics", is noted for a 25% cut in the income tax, reduction in inflation, reduction in interest rates, increased military spending, increased deficits and national debt, a temporary solution to the Social Security issue, elimination of loopholes in the tax code, continued deregulation of business, a sharp recession in 1981-1982 followed by a very robust economic expansion starting in '82 — the greatest peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history.[citation needed] "

The reason a "citation [is] needed" is that this "very robust...greatest peacetime economic expansion in U.S. history" never occurred during Reagan's presidency (perhaps during Clinton's). Yes, an average business cycle recovery occurred, but the post-Reagan spin machine continues to tout it as "Morning in America" (from the Wall St. Journal) The details for why this was no such thing are contained in Paul Krugman's "Peddling Prosperity: Economic Sense and Nonsense in an Age of Diminished Expectations"

Krugman convincingly makes the case that presidential policy (as opposed to Federal Reserve policy) influences productive capacity, or capital investment most directly, and the course of the business cycle indirectly. Because of Reagan's enormous deficits, capital investment actually declined during his administration, while the business cycle, peak-to-peak, that most nearly coincided with the term of his presidency was unexceptional in how much higher the later peak was than the earlier one. It was certainly not the greatest peacetime economic expansion, and if you factor in the growth in income disparities, it was disproportionately throwing money at the rich.

One further revision in the Reagan article: The S&L Bailout is correctly cited by your Reagan entry as a scandal his administration fostered. What you do not include is the magnitude of the scandal. The following is a quote that pretty much speaks for itself:

"The theft from the taxpayer by the community that fattened on the growth of the savings and loan (S&L) industry in the 1980's is the worst public scandal in American history. Teapot Dome in the Harding administration and the Credit Mobilier in the times of Ulysses S. Grant have been taken as the ultimate horror stories of capitalist democracy gone to seed. Measuring by money, [or] by the misallocation of national resources...the S&L outrage makes Teapot Dome and Credit Mobilier seem minor episodes."

"...the swindles, like the industry itself, were a backwater, and, worse, the subject was inherently technical. As the Bush bailout bill moved through congress in the summer of 1989 P.J.O'Rourke wrote...that the story was 'an awful example of what's replaced democracy in modern America-- dictatorship by tedium....This allows the boring government officials to do anything they want, because any time regular people try to figure out what gives, the regular people get hopelessly bored and confused, as though they'd fallen a month behind in their high-school algebra class."

"The S&L story is desperately important not for the reasons usually given but because its development, maturity and crisis raise profound questions about American society. In the light of this bonfire, we must ask whether our great professions are still capable of self-regulation, of giving honest service, and of accepting fiduciary duties in an age when all costs and benefits are reduced to monetary measurements and all conduct that is not specifically prohibited has become permissible. Watching the obedient dance of our officials and politicians when their patrons pipe a tune, unrebuked by a public that attends this show as it might any other, we must ask whether this generation of Americans remains capable of self- government." --from Martin Mayer's THE GREATEST-EVER BANK ROBBERY The Collapse of the Savings and Loan Industry (Scribner's) (Unfortunately this is out of print, but is available at least in the Sacramento Public Library)

[edit]

Gene Hart (June 28, 1931 - July 14, 1999) was an American Professional Sports Announcer for the Philadelphia Flyers of the Nation Hockey League and the Philadelphia Phantoms of the American Hockey League.

Hart was born in New York and soon moved to Southern New Jersey, where he graduated Pleasantville High School. He then graduated Trenton State College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education.

After serving time in the Military, Hart began officiating high school football, baseball, and basketball in South Jersey. After one game at Atlantic City High School, the school’s athletic broadcaster Ralph Glenn was walking around frantically to find a person to go with him to Trenton to announce a game. He explained his situation to Hart, and Hart agreed to go with him. Thus began one of the most successful announcing careers in hockey history.

Hart continued to announce with Glenn on a regular basis in Southern New Jersey, and keep several side jobs as well. When Philadelphia was granted and NHL expansion team in 1967, Hart submitted his tapes to the team, which would be called the Flyers. Since the Flyers could not afford one of the more experienced Canadian announcers, Hart got the job.

He figured he would only be on the staff for a few years until the Flyers could afford a better broadcaster. He was mistaken. Gene Hart was the voice of the Philadelphia Flyers for 29 years, from the team’s inception until the end of the 1994-1995 season. Hart announced more then 2,000 NHL games, 6 separate Stanley Cups, 5 NHL all-star games, and the NHL Soviet Union all-star series.

He came out of retirement in 1997 to announce for the Philadelphia Phantoms, the Flyers’ minor league affiliate. He announced the team’s Caulder Cup championship series before retiring at the end of the 1999 season.

Gene Hart passed away from a variety of illnesses on July 14, 1999. He was 68 years old.

An ethological term for a sequence of responses, usually but not necessarily produced by a releaser. When the stimuli that elicit or set the occasion for a fixed action pattern are absent, their presentation, and thereby an opportunity to engage in the fixed action pattern, may serve as a reinforcer.

The Illinois St. Andrew Society (ISAS) is the oldest charitible organization in Illinois - founded in 1845. The ISAS has operated a charity retirement home for more than 100 years.

There were more than 8,000 Scottish residents in Chicago ath the time of the Great Fire of 1871. ISAS membership records, Flags, memorabilia and plans for a Scottish Charitable Home were destroyed. Two ISAS members were killed in the fire.

The ISAS is the largest landowner in Rosehill Cemetery - with more than 400 Scots buried there. ISAS provided free brials to many Scots in need.

In 1910 ground was broken in North Riverside, Illinois for the Scottish Home. After completion the Scottish Home burnt to the ground in 1917. Funds were raised and it was rebuilt. The Scottish Home was expanded in the late 1990's and is in operation today.

Many prominent Chicagoans have been involved with the ISAS including Colonel John McArthur, members of the Armour meat packing family, former police chief John Joseph Badenock, former Chairman of Marshall Field and Company Hughston McBain etc.

Genetics to sequence the dog genome in an effort to understand and describe the bases for differences between breeds, and to find the genetic bases of disease. Because of the large differences between dog breeds and the unintended consequence of genetic disease dogs can serve as a map to point out the sequences leading to these diseases. This may help apply to many human diseases.

The purpose of these submarines will be to field the Bulava missile (currently undergoing flight tests) to give strength to Russia's ocean based strategic nuclear ability.

Expected displacement is to be 19,600 tonnes.

It is expected to ultimately replace one Typhoon and five Delta IV submarines. Currently three are under construction and the Russian navy ultimately hopes to build ten to twenty of these submarines. It will have a length of approximately one hundred and seventy meters, a body diameter of around ten metres, and a speed of over 20 knots submerged.

Expected missile capacity seems to range from 12-20 based on current reports. According to the Russian press it will carry twelve missiles equipped with four to six nuclear warheads each in a multiple impact reentry vehicle configuration. The missile is expected to have a range of ten thousand kilometers.

The Borey Class submarine design has been completed, and first submarine's launch is planned for early 2007.

The submarines are currently scheduled for operation by 2010, with the first ship launching in early 2007.

The Great Burn (Babylon 5)

[edit]

The Great Burn was a catastrophic nuclear war on Earth in the fictional Babylon 5 universe which took place in the year 2762, 500 years after the founding of the Interstellar Alliance. The nuclear exchange was the culmination of a growing political divide among the human inhabitants of Earth, with one side favoring Earth adopting an increasingly isolationist position in interstellar politics, as well as an authoritarian, Orwellian, domestic policy. The opposing side in the conflict favored continued strong relations with the Interstellar Alliance and a more liberal society that is accepting of alien cultures. The widespread devastation of the nuclear exchange killed most human life on the planet, and left the surviving civilization in a state of pre-industrial technological development which took several centuries to recover from.

SPOILERS:

While a full scale nuclear war between the opposing factions was arguably inevitable, the immediate cause of the attacks occured during the production of a propaganda piece intended to discredit the founders of the Interstellar Alliance. Psychological profiles were constructed and combined with holographic representations of the long deceased John Sheridan, Delenn, Stephen Franklin, and Michael Garibaldi for the purpose of using them as "actors" in propaganda produced by the authoritarian regime. During the production of this propaganda, the representation of Michael Garibaldi hacked a communications network and broadcast to the opposing faction plans of an impending attack. This led to a pre-emptive nuclear strike and corresponding retalitory response which escalated into the full scale nuclear exchange.

Kennedy Mindreader

Over the last five years Kennedy has taken the magic and psychic worlds by storm. Living in England near the Scottish border, he travels around the world reading people’s minds in one of the most exciting interactive live entertainment shows today.

Kennedy’s amazing abilities have gained him front page newspaper coverage, prime time TV interest as well as numerous radio appearances. The Mindreader is in constant demand, performing at events large and small throughout the UK and the world.

It is not just about him telling you what you are thinking, Kennedy also engages his mind to affect inanimate objects and cause them to move, flinch and twist by the power of thought alone. This really has to be seen to be believed.

His skill has seen him risk his life in a game of Russian roulette where five Police Colt Magnum revolvers are mixed…one is loaded and the other empty. Kennedy engages his mind power to decipher which one could potentially kill him. In another stunt, Kennedy wowed the people of York, England as he was set his biggest challenge to date.

Let us look at this young man’s amazing list of achievements:


February 2004 – Published author of a book on mind reading technique

August 2005 - Front page of MY Life for the Newcastle Chronicle Newspaper

September 2005 – A National Theatre tour across the UK, performing in theatres holding 3000 people capacity.

October 2005 - Second book release on further mind reading techniques

November 2005 - Listed as the North East’s No.1 Wedding Entertainer by Bride Magazine.

January 2006 - In talks with a TV production company about a major new series on prime time TV in England.

May 2006 - Special Guest at Nationwide Building Society’s Annual Dinner.

May 2006 - Special Guest Performer at the internationally renowned House of Illusion, Salut in Spain.

May 2006 - Hide and Seek in York city centre, England. The city centre manager of York has hidden an object in the city. Kennedy has to find it. He doesn’t know where it is, as if that wasn’t enough he doesn’t even know what he is trying to find. To make the whole challenge even more difficult for our Mindreader, Kennedy will never have met the gentleman before and thus will not know whether he will be susceptible to his techniques.

July 2006 - National Theatre Tour

Kennedy is hailed as one of the UK’s most up and coming, most engaging and interactive live acts and is fast getting an international reputation for his amazing abilities to simply know what people are thinking.

Influences; Kennedy claims he has a lot of influences for the work that he does. His main is Uri Gellar who seemed to start of this work and move it very steadily to the public forum. Since he performs his skills, Kennedy is an admirer of performers too and since he was a magician in his past life he has great respect for the likes of Joseph Dunninger, Raymond Carlisle and Morace Fogel.
