Lewis Cass graduate Marschand makes, maintains fields of all kinds
April 14, 2020 stvkrh905	2 Comments
As soon as Blake Marschand could put one foot in front of the other, he was stepping on a baseball field.
From a young age, Blake was helping his father groom diamonds and other facilities.
Greg Marschand, a 2017 Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame inductee, has spent countless hours on fields at Lewis Cass High School in Walton, Ind., where he is still head baseball coach and athletic director.
"My dad got this etched in me," says Blake Marschand, who played football, basketball and baseball for the Cass Kings and graduated in 1998. "This is all I knew. There was no sleeping in on the weekends when I was a little kid.
"Sports have always been a big thing to the Marschand family."
Over the years, Blake saw his father's work ethic and heard him talk about having a company that builds and maintains these places to play ball.
A right-handed pitcher, Blake played baseball for two years at Chattahoochee Valley Community College in Phenix City, Ala., and two at Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu and retuned to Howard County, Indiana.
He purchased some equipment from former Northwestern High School baseball coach Dan Armstrong and launched Marschand's Athletic Field Service in 2008.
MAFS works on baseball, softball, football and soccer fields.
On the natural side of things, it's construction (laser grading, adding DuraEdge infield mix, building mounds and bullpens, complete tear-offs, re-grades, re-builds and more) and maintenance (aerification, fertilization, overseeding, top dressing, deep-tine aerification, edging etc.).
As a regional representative, Marschand applies DuraEdge-engineered infield mix. The product is used on many Major League Baseball fields and throughout the nation. There are three main varieties — Classic, Collegiate and Pro. Each mix is engineered to certain percentages of clay, sand and silt.
Marschand and his crew also perform maintenance on artificial-surface fields throughout the Midwest for Sprinturf.
"I'm not totally against synthetic (turf)," says Marschand. "It's got it's place."
Marschand notes that some schools may not have had their fields built the right or does not have the right equipment or knowledge to maintain those fields correctly.
"If the fields are built using the correct products and materials, it makes maintenance a lot easier," says Marschand. "Basketball courts get budgeted to be re-surfaced every year, but outside fields often get put on the back burner.
"Outdoor fields being laser-graded every two or three years would be similar to having a basketball court re-surfaced."
It's all about maintaining a facility. It cuts down on that big project.
MAFS has been to fields all over Indiana and continues to pick up new business.
For 13 years, Marschand has held the contract at CFD Investments Highland Park Stadium in Kokomo, Ind., doing daily game preparation, clean-up and more.
"We thrive on building and developing that honest relationship with customers," says Marschand. "We're not a huge business. I just try to keep it to a small core group of (four to five workers). That way we can be efficient."
Marschand says that the initial important step in field construction or maintenance is using the correct products such as DuraEdge infield mix and setting the correct grade.
"Looking into the future, that's just going to help in maintaining the field," says Marschand. "On a renovation project, it sometimes can be tricky because we have to match the existing grade of the way the field was laid out.
"We're trying to determine what percentage of grade that is to give them that efficient surface run-off, which is what you want.
"On the DuraEdge side, we shoot for a two-inch cap," says Marschand. "That will give you a really nice, quality skin surface."
Marschand says the best time to do field renovation work is in the summer and fall because the weather tends to be nicer and teams are not on the field as often as they are in the spring.
Even though the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic has baseball — and other sports — canceled for the spring, MAFS has been busy working on fields.
But it's not been a typical March and April.
"Usually springs are pretty stressful," says Marschand. "Once you get those first sunny days, your phone's ringing off the hook. Everybody wants you there that day. I get it. I'm not mad at them for that.
"The goal is to make your customers happy. You don't want to keep them waiting.
"We've got all kinds of work in the books. I try to lay out my work on a first-come, first-served basis. When customers call I put them on a list and try to run down that list."
There is not much grade work being done when it's wet, but the crew can install mounds and perform other tasks.
"I also try to split it up so I'm not burning guys out on the same thing every day," says Marschand. "That's what's so great about this work. It's always something different. Every place is different and has its own needs."
Marschand is appreciate of the relationships he has formed in the industry.
"Guys that are way more knowledgeable than me are always willing to talk and discuss whatever the situation might be," says Marschand. "Having those relationships mean a lot to me and I'm very thankful."
That includes staffers at DuraEdge, Joey Stevenson with the Indianapolis Indians, Jeremy Tredway at Indiana University and Brian Bornino at Purdue University.
Marschand typically looks for former athletes to work on his crew.
"They understand the work ethic and appreciate the big picture once they start seeing what goes on behind the scenes," says Marschand.
This week's schedule called for work on netting and padding on the dugouts at Kokomo Municipal Stadium, building mounds for Noblesville High School, finishing laser-grading at Carroll (Flora) High School, aeriating and later top-dressing at Kokomo High School soccer fields, spraying at Guerin Catholic High School, spraying at Western High School, top-dressing at Eastern High School and a number of things at Rochester High School.
Blake and Tara Marschand live in Kokomo with daughters Kinsley (11) and Bayah (7).
Marschand's Athletic Field Service has long held the maintenance contract at CFD Investments Highland Park Stadium in Kokomo, Ind.
Marschand's Athletic Field Service has laser-graded Andy Mohr Field, the softball facility at Indiana University.
Marschand's Athletic Field Service has laser-graded Alexander Field, Purdue University's baseball facility.

Raro incontro tra Evan Parker e Dave Holland con due concerti a completo sostegno delle attività dell'amatissimo club londinese The Vortex. E' accaduto venerdì scorso, 2 marzo, John Fordham ne ha scritto per The Guardian e Gus Iyouvid ne ha condiviso qualche bel momento su YT.
A fantastic opportunity to see two huge talents Dave Holland & Evan Parker close up in the intimate setting of the Vortex Jazz Club. Holland and Parker have been friends since first meeting in London in the 1960s. During that time they performed together frequently, often at The Little Theater Club, and played on the landmark recording Karyobin which has just been remixed and reissued on Emanem Records. Holland and Parker, along with Craig Taborn and Ches Smith, appear on a new recording Uncharted Territories, due for release in May 2018 on Dare2 Records.
Parker who has had a monthly residency at the club for a number of years described the Vortex as 'my haven from the demands of the road… the Vortex is for me, a space to play "free jazz". I cannot imagine life without it'. New York-based Holland has dropped into the club on a few occasions to take in the odd Evan Parker gig as well as to take in the unique Vortex vibe created by the musicians who perform here and volunteers who look after the place. Holland says '…the Vortex plays a vital role in the cultural life of London providing performance opportunities for both a UK and international community of musicians… its imaginative programming introduces new listening experiences to its audience'.

A (Black) Gat in The Hand: Saying Goodbye with a Black Mask Dinner
Monday, December 31st, 2018 | Posted by Bob Byrne
"You're the second guy I've met within hours who seems to think a gat in the hand means a world by the tail." – Phillip Marlowe in Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep
(Gat — Prohibition Era term for a gun. Shortened version of Gatling Gun)
This is a pretty famous photograph in hardboiled/pulp lore. It's of the attendees of the 1936 West Coast Black Mask Writers dinner. And it's the only known meeting of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. But there was a lot more writing talent present!
From back left: Raymond Moffat, Raymond Chandler, Herbert Stinson, Dwight Babcock, Eric Taylor, and Dashiell Hammett.
From front left: Arthur Barnes, John K. Butler, W.T. Ballard, Horace McCoy, and Norbert Davis.
This post is going to focus on the man who was primarily responsible for making this gathering happen.
Dwight Babcock sent his first very first story to Underworld Magazine. They promptly lost it! He retitled it "At the Bottom of Every Mess," and sent it to Black Mask, figuring he'd get a nice rejection letter. Instead, he got an acceptance letter and a $100 check. When most pulps were paying a quarter to a half cent a word, Babcock got a penny and a quarter cent per word for his first effort!
Underworld did find their copy of the story and returned it to Babcock: five months after it had appeared in the January, 1934 Black Mask.
Babcock broke into Dime Detective in August of 1934 and regularly appeared in the detective pulps for the next few years. Legendary Black Mask editor Joseph 'Cap' Shaw mistakenly identified a Babcock submission as having been written by W.T. Ballard (who you read about HERE). The two writers became lifelong friends through this mix up.
In late 1935, Shaw sent a letter to Babcock, discussing "more appealing characters, more appealing plots and situations."
Shaw said, "We don't mind the brutal characters in a story…We don't mind the hard action; we want it; but we do want…a man that is a hero; a girl…that is every way likable and appealing – a man and a girl that the reader feels just must come through."
Shaw wanted to take a little bit of the tough edge off of Black Mask. Babcock responded with G Man Chuck Thompson, who become a popular character.
James Cagney's movie, G-Man, had been a big hit and that mini-genre was hot. Shaw wrote to Babcock, "…if you can wrangle out a sure-fire story each month for some months to come…"
Black Mask writers were expected to produce not only high quality, but high volume (the latter a requirement for survival as a pulpster).
Shaw added, "Let me know what you think and how soon you can deliver some red-hot ones. That shouldn't be so hard, one a month, but they gotta be good."
Babcock wrote eight Chuck Thompson stories, seven of which appeared in Black Mask.
Babcock was very much one of Shaw's 'Black Mask Boys,' and the editor helped guide him to agent Jane Hardy (the widow of Robert Hardy, she hadn't fallen out yet with client Erle Stanley Gardner).
Shaw resigned as editor of Black Mask in September of 1936 after battling with the owner. He became an agent, and Babcock switched to him. Fanny Ellsworth, who succeeded Shaw as editor, didn't seem to have as much interest in the writer. He had two stories in the Mask in 1937 (one of which Shaw had bought), and three each in 1938 and 1939.
Ellsworth wasn't interested in Thompson, only using one of those tales. Babcock had decided to write a novel, and he would effectively leave the pulps, writing three novels starring 'Homicide Hannah, the Gorgeous Ghoul.' She's a beautiful, hardboiled writer and photographer for True Crime Cases magazine.
That book, along with The Gorgeous Ghoul, and Hannah Says Foul Play, are considered to be among the best in the comedic hardboiled school. Norbert Davis is perhaps the best-known practitioner in that field, and he and Babcock were west coast friends.
Babcock went to Hollywood in 1944 and became a successful screenwriter, with a multitude of horror movies to his credit. He also wrote for television. He would write one more novel, with Day Keene (who I wrote about here), Chatauqua. It became the Elvis Presley movie, The Trouble With Girls.
Shaw had tried to sell a collection of Babcock's short stories, but was unsuccessful. That's an effort still worth somebody's time and energy. "Murder on the Gayway," from the October, 1939 Black Mask, was reprinted in the Fall, 2017 issue.
I'm curious as to why Shaw didn't include Babcock in his Hard Boiled Omnibus. There may be a story behind that which I'm not aware of.
Anywhoo…to the picture.
With some encouragement from Shaw, Babcock worked hard to bring together various Black Mask writers who lived on the west coast. Along with those in the picture, it's believed that Babcock reached out to H. Bedford Jones, Roger Torrey, Paul Cain, and Whitman Chambers – none of whom attended the dinner.
On January 11th, with Shaw cabling his regrets at not being able to attend, eleven Black Maksers gathered at the Nickabob Café. The photo provides evidence of the only known meeting between hardboiled giants Hammett and Chandler. The attendees:
Raymond Moffatt – I know less than nothing about this guy. Literally.
Raymond Chandler – The only name unarguably placed alongside Hammett's in the hardboiled pantheon.
Herbert Stinson – Stinson, police reporter for an LA newspaper, was a Black Mask regular, and his Ken O'Hara, a tough guy for The Los Angeles Times, appeared in over a dozen stories.
Dwight Babcock – See above…
Eric Taylor – Taylor appeared frequently in the popular, second tier pulp magazine, Clues. He managed a couple Black Mask sales.
Dashiell Hammett – Not much needs said about the greatest hardboiled writer of them all.
Arthur Barnes – Barnes is best known for his science fiction stories, and I haven't found any Black Mask appearances by him. Hmm…
John K. Butler – Altus Press has brought Butlers' hardboiled cab driver, Steven Midnight, back into print. Yay! Butler went on to write dozens of B-movie scripts – specializing in westerns.
W.T. Ballard – You can read about Ballard: especially his Hollywood troubleshooter, Bill Lennox, here.
Horace McCoy – Thomas Parker wrote about McCoy's novel, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, for this column.
Norbert Davis – I wanted to write more about one of my favorite writers, but I did manage to do a post on his lawyer, Ben Shaley.
I don't know of any other Black Mask gatherings. And I haven't run across an account of this one. But there's some pretty good writers in that picture.
And so, A (Black) Gat in the Hand comes to an end.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading well over a hundred short stories and novels for the column. And I had a lot of fun with the Back Deck Pulp posts over at Facebook.
There were topics I intended to write about, and researched, but never got down on the keyboard: like Joe Gores' DKA novels, more Norbert Davis, and a Jo Gar post. And other topics that never got past the thought stage, like: Dashiell Hammett, the Powers Boothe Philip Marlowe tv show, and Robert E. Howard's Steve Harrison (who I've written about before).
It's possible I could bring the column back for a limited run in the future, though I'd have to immerse myself in a pulp/hardboiled mood again. And I think I'm covered for a little while. It will be Conan for the next half year. And Nero Wolfe is always calling to me.
Thanks to Frank Schildiner, Thomas Parker, Joe Bonadonna, William Patrick Maynard, and Andrew P. Salmon for contributing great essays. Heaven knows, I need all the help I can get!
BlackGate.com is a World Fantasy Award-winning website. And rightfully so. But there's a mystery corner here as well. And it's certainly not just me. A bunch of BlackGaters are fans of the genre. So, from time to time, you'll find some mystery-related posts of note.
I hope the readers enjoyed this 'toe in the pool' look at a fantastic genre. There is some simply outstanding storytelling and writing in those old pulp stories. Especially, the hardboiled school – though by no means limited to that area.
So, this hardboiled keyboard shuts down.

I've really enjoyed this series. Thanks so much for all the hard work at it.
Comment by BleeSevens - December 31, 2018 10:18 am
Thanks Blee!
I hadn't gone on a hardboiled kick for quite some time and it was great to immerse myself in that stuff again. And to read a lot of things for the first time.
Jo Gar has become one of my all time favorites. And I really liked Ballard's Bill Lennox stories. And William Campbell Gault's ability; to name a few things.
Paul Cain's Fast One, Miller's Crossing and Last Man Standing as excellent adaptations of Hammett novels, John D. MacDonald's Judge Me Not – there's a lot more I'd like to write about some day…
Comment by Bob Byrne - December 31, 2018 10:28 am
This was cool series, Bob. Thanks for all the write-ups.
Looking forward to the new Howard-focused column next week.

Thanks, Frau!
Hopefully, you'll find lots of good stuff in the Conan series. I certainly think you will!

There's always something photo worthy happening out there adding the "U" and "I" in community. I wish I could be everywhere, but I can't. Not enough hours in a day, not enough days in a week, not enough weeks in a month, not enough months in a year and certainly never enough months in one's life. Remember to "Live, Laugh, Love and Photograph"!
Below are albums filled with photos I have taken at events. I am sharing them, as a thank you to the organizers, volunteers and all others involved. I am alwasy hoping to get some more bodies out for the next one. A community relies on it's inhabitants to flourish, get out there meet your neighbours, help local businesses and of course have fun. There are so many things to do in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Send me your pics and they may end up on the "reader contributions" page.
A look at the Queen's Plate 2017.
Tiff is about more than the celebrities.
Random photos taken at the festival.
A collection of moments from the festival.
Every year near the end of February the prestigious Bloor-Yorkville area is home to an IceFest. Ice sculpting contest and display with music, shopping and food.
My attempt at shooting some all star players. Not my best work but it definitely documents my 3 1/2 hours in frigid temperatures -30 with the windchill. I went back to the Thompson hotel on Monday for checkout and managed to get a few more.
Toronto Polar Bear Dip. Hundreds of dippers raise money for Habitat for Humanity and then plunge into the frigid waters of Lake Ontario.
Well the inaugural "Naked Pumpkin Run" in Hamilton Ontario took place on Friday night October 30th.
World Master Card Fashion Week 2015 Once again David Pecaut Square hosted this event. Many sharply dressed individuals and photographers filled the square.
Heavy downpours put a damper on Pride activities this weekend.
There were too many things to shoot at the parade, so I photographed with themes in mind. These are shots I captured featuring the pride colours somewhere in the photo.
The evening I spent in Gotham Last night was a pretty exciting in Gotham. When we arrived on the main drag (Yonge Street) Toronto, Ontario.
April 4, 2015 A fierce battle began in front of Toronto's City Hall just before the clock tower's bell stuck 3 o'clock. Men, women and children pounded one another for hours, the signs of fatigue were present in many when I quit at 5 pm. The carnage was all over Nathan Phillips Square and Toronto's finest stood nearby watching hundreds participate in this attack. The interesting thing about this epic battle was everyone was having a great time. Laughter and screams filled the square as well as great music provided by Indie 88FM. All in all it was a fun time, besides a few hair do's getting wrecked and the odd pillow exploding in mid-air Toronto once again hosts a fun event for everyone. I would like to personally thank all those who participated and the organizers who put this event together and those who had to clean up the pillow butchery.
A close-up look at the cosplayers in their costumes. Not only do they dress like their favourite character they have mastered their pose and facial expressions. Thank you all for taking the time to pose for me. If you want your picture send me a message with the photo name and I will send you a high resolution photo. Make sure you see all 4 pages of photos.
10th Anniversary of this event at SunnySide. Over 600 dippers got pledges for Habitat for Humanity and made this the largest year ever for the organizers. Raising over $60,000. I can't wait for next year.
Live taping at Toronto's Sheraton Hotel December 19th 2014 6am to 9am. The lobby of the Sheraton Hotel turns into the studio for the Christmas episode of Breakfast Television (BT). Many fans stay over at the hotel as BT negotiated a good price for their fans. Some like me wake up real early and head down to T Dot to be part of the fun. and fun it is, watching our friendly hosts in action and even getting a chance to win some prices and cool BT swag. However, the biggest gift of all is giving and giving you can. The Daily Bread Food Bank was that charity located in the lobby ready for donations. fans brought food, money and toys for the struggling Torontonians this Christmas. I don't understand why more people do come out, It's from 6 am to 9 am, I went before work and was able to make it before 9 to my desk. Please excuse the quality of the photos, it was low light and I didn't use flash so it wouldn't mess up the taping.
Since 2005 brave souls have donned their red speedos and ran along Toronto's cold Yorkville streets to raise fund for The Hospital for Sick Children' s Toys and Games Fund.
Toronto fashion Week 2014 Dufferin Mall hired these beautiful models to allow us street photographers to take photos of professional models. They came around every hour. Thank you, Dufferin Mall.

With the possibility of losing visitors to the state's casinos, the purposed state wide smoking ban may not affect the gaming facilities. The ban would allow for smoking on gaming floors to continue. The exemption is being considered by the state since a loss in gaming revenues would result in a loss of state tax revenues.
It was reported in the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency projected fiscal note that $180 million could be lost in state tax revenue if the smoking ban also included casinos.
The House Public Health Committee meet last week to discuss the matter. However, a vote was not done. It is however expected that the measure amendment could take place this week.
Indiana has a history of approving smoking bans in the House. However, it is always stopped by the Senate.
The exemption to the ban will be applied to casinos, horse race tracks, off track betting facilities, and possible cigar bars.

Thor #7 Comic Recap
Weeks ago, Agent Roz Solomon gets a call from her superior, Agent Coulson. He is checking in to see how her vacation is going. The agent says it is nice, but that she recently found evidence of an illegal Roxxon toxic waste dumping site underground. When Coulson asks if she has anything to do with a report he just got saying that Roxxon has a break-in in one of their facilities, Solomon claims ignorance and says if it makes her boss feel better, she can call Thor.
[Related: More Marvel Comic Reviews]
At this remark, Coulson realizes that she has yet to hear about what happened to her sort-of boyfriend. After learning how the god lost his hammer, Roz travels to the moon, finding Mjolnir but no Thor. Enjoying the atmosphere on the blue side of the moon, she looks on Earth. SHIELD keeps getting weaker and losing its allies, while Roxxon is getting bigger and more reckless. If only they had something big to help tip the scales…
Now, on Roxxon Island, Thor does battle with the Destroyer. After knocking each other around a bit, the god of thunder is shocked to find that the armour has taken her hammer. The Destroyer is being piloted by Odin's brother, Cul the Serpent. The All-Father orders that his sibling use the hammer to teach this woman what happens when she lays hands on that which belongs to Odin, before bringing her and Mjolnir to Asgardia, so she may answer for her theft.
Meanwhile, in the skies of Midgard, Odinson is approached by his mother. She tells him of the situation with the other Thor, and says they will need an army. Her son points out that this shouldn't be a problem – they have the Bifrost, and he just so happens to be holding a list. On the island, Dario Agger, CEO of Roxxon, and Malekeith, King of the Dark Elves, look on at the battle below. The king teleports the two to another realm called Alfheim, home to the Light Elves. Cheerfully, Malekeith asks for help with murdering a bunch of them, and the CEO complies without hesitation.
Back on the island, Thor stands bloody and nearly beaten. But she notices that the Destroyer is barely able to contain Mjolnir. Using her connection with the hammer, the woman is able to fling the armour across the battlefield before blasting it with a massive explosion of lightning. But the Destroyer is far from destroyed. Thor is furious. This is not how it ends. She will not be a footnote in history as the woman who was a god for five days and then fell. This is not how she dies. Her true story hasn't even begun… but it's about to.
Thor #7 Comic Review
Hello and welcome to Comic Island! My name is Arden, and this is my recap, and review of Thor #7!
Now this was a cool comic. I've been more or less enjoying the Thor series, but it has been bugging me that most of the last six issues have been obnoxiously teasing secrets I could care less about. This comic was a lot closer to what I wanted out of the Thor series compared to what I've seen before now. The action and art remind me a lot of the last series called Thor: God of Thunder, which I found was really well done and nicely polished. So this comic to me felt like a step forward in the right direction.
This issue was full of some pretty strong hints about who the new Thor really is, and it feels far less annoying than the unsubtle and annoying teasing from before. While this issue seems to indicate pretty heavily that Roz is the new Thor, I do feel that could be a misdirect. What we do know is that all the women depicted here at the end of the comic are no longer candidates for having taken up the hammer, which pretty much leaves it to being either Jane Foster or Roz Solomon. So issue seven does a good job at narrowing down the possible candidates, but I'm still not sure which of these two it actually is.
In either case, it's nice to have an issue of Thor that I both enjoyed and can recommend. This series has one more issue left before… whatever happens in Secret Wars, so until that time, you can look forward to Joey's next review, where we finally are going to get some answers, along with a pretty solid battle by the looks of things. That is going to be awesome. So let me know in the comments section below what you guys think is going to happen in the next Thor comic. Some pretty big things are being built up here, so I expect we'll have some fun going forward.
Other than that, you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated with all the goings-on with our channel. And finally, don't forget to like, subscribe, and keep reading comics.

What we philosophically want to do is schedule games that are of great interest to our fans. Maybe the best pro of these games is it's something our players will remember for a lifetime. They'll cherish these memories.
Eight Quotes
What we philosophically are going to do, if we can pull it off, is have a home-and-home with a team of great interest to our fans. Every other year we can have eight home games and the year that we travel, have seven.
Anxious Quotes
We're anxious to get into Big Ten play. I think the Big Ten is going to be a very, very tough conference this year. As you look at everybody from side to side and throughout the conference, they've had some tough ball games, they've had some great wins. I just think it's going to be a very strong league, and we start out with an awfully strong one with the university of Iowa. They're a physical football team. They have dropped a game, but they didn't have their quarterback that day. They're just an outstanding team as they've shown over the years, and we have to be ready to compete.
Alumni Quotes
If it's the last game you'd ever want to see in your life, it might be these two teams, and that makes it special. Two great football states, two great schools, two of the largest alumni in the world. The interest level is tremendous.
Along Quotes
His skills have not diminished, that's for sure. There have been some times I thought maybe we could've gotten him the ball, but it's easy from where I sit. I think Ted is really coming along and I think he's going to be a great one.
Adds Quotes
I think it adds a lot to this game. We've only played four times before in our history and the two great programs, here we are in one of the great settings in college football. I think it adds a little something to the intrigue.
Against Quotes
I thought we gave great effort against a very good Texas team. Our defense, in particular, played with great emotion. Offensively, we have to do a better job in the red zone. That was a concern after the Miami game and it is still a concern. When you get turnovers and field position like we got against Texas, you need to score touchdowns, not field goals,
College Quotes
I think it's very exciting. It gives college football a great jump-start into the '05 season. We have the good fortune that a lot of people know who we are and who the Longhorns are.
Ball Quotes
Our punt return game, those guys have done a great job up front, plus Tone (Holmes) and Teddy (Ginn Jr.) back in the back. Somebody told me (the Aztecs) had nine three-and-outs. When they're starting with the ball on their 11 and they're having a three-and-out, and our punt-returners are catching the ball around midfield, that's huge for the offense.
Came Quotes
Malcolm is a very mature player. He came to us ready to play. When the opportunity presented itself, he stepped in and did a great job.
Apart Quotes
We played twice in the '30s and twice in the '90s and that's the end of it. We're not that far apart and with the great tradition of both football programs and both schools, what more could we ask for?
Far Quotes
When you're talking about Troy, I don't think you ever think you use words like that. I mean, that's over, and I think he's done a great job of handling his adversity. This is game No. 12 of 2005 as far as I'm concerned.
Goes Quotes
When guys come back for reunions, they talk about the guy that made the big play in the Ohio State-Michigan game, ... That's just the legacy that's left and I'm sure the same thing goes up there when people come back and talk about the great pride they have in their program.
There have been times I thought we could have gotten him the ball, but I'm standing there with a (video) clicker. I'm not standing back there with a defensive line chasing me. I think Ted is coming along and is going to be a great one.
Command Quotes
What Troy does is he has a great command of our offense. He's old-school and he knows what he needs to do. When it doesn't go just right, he can improvise.
We think Santonio Holmes is a great player, ... Early last year, he was about the only guy that was making plays for us. The people we played against saw that and put more attention on him. Some of our young guys then got a little more involved and that eased the burden off Santonio a little bit. If we can get to the point where we can recognize that he is being singled, we need to go to Santonio Holmes, because from a receiver standpoint he's top-notch.
especially because they're Ohio State and Texas, two great schools that if you had to pick two you'd want to see play, if it's the last game you'd ever want to see in your life, it might be these two and that makes it special, two great football states, two great schools, two of the largest alumni in the world. The interest level is tremendous.
Both Quotes
There's great speed out there on both sides. I feel good about the speed of our football team, and I see the speed of their football team on the video. Yeah, it's a match-up from that standpoint and I think it will be fun to watch because I like the way both teams play. I think it will be a fast game. I think there's no question about it.
Teddy is a terrific weapon and we want to get the ball in his hands as often as possible, ... The majority of his play will come on offense, but he gets a great break on the ball so there will be times in the red zone where we will utilize him on defense, too. With Maurice Hall (the school's all-time leader in kick return yardage) gone, we will use him on both punt and kick returns. He and Santonio (Holmes) give us two very dangerous weapons back there.
Our defense is special. People come in with great plans against them and it's the game of their life to have a chance to play against out defense and our guys just keep fighting and keep fighting and believing in each other.
Certainly Quotes
This is a tough defensive football team that he's going to face in a tough environment, and it's a great challenge for him and a great challenge for the guys that will be on the field at the same time with him, and we certainly hope that he can continue to be efficient, make good decisions and so forth, but that's what Saturday is for -- to find that out,
This is one of those games that coaches and players look forward to. Shoot, we can't wait and I am sure they feel the same way. It matches two great research universities, two great football programs and two states that really support their teams against one another. Everyone has been talking about it since the end of last season. I know this; it won't be hard to get our players' attention this week,
As we move forward to play Texas, we don't need to say much more than we're playing Texas, one of the great programs in the history of college football. They've got things rolling there right now extremely well.
Extremely Quotes
As you watch Troy throughout his career, every day he learns a little bit. He studies extremely hard. He's very passionate about being a great quarterback, and each day he's taking a step toward it.
As you watched Troy throughout his career, every day in practice, he learns a little something and gets better, and he learns from every ball game. He's very passionate about being a great quarterback, and each day he's taking a step closer to it.
As you know, we had a heck of a ball game with Michigan State, ... John L. (Smith) and his staff did a great job. The lead changed hands often in that game, two teams playing extremely hard, and like we face each week in the Big Ten, it was a battle down until the end. I'm real proud of the way our kids continued to play. We fell behind (but) we kept going after it and I'm very proud of them.
The key to any great performance is that your key players make plays. What Troy Smith does is, he has a great command of our offense, and when it doesn't go right, he can improvise.
If you had to pick two great schools you'd want to see play, if it's the last game you'd ever want to see in your life, it might be these two.
Closer Quotes
He's very passionate about being a great quarterback. And every day he gets closer to it.
Cares Quotes
If I had to pick one thing about Ted Ginn, it's that he cares about Ohio State, ... And that to me is a great start.

Whitlam's T.J. Ryan Memorial Lecture: "Reform During Recession – The Way Ahead"
On April 28, 1978, four months after giving up the ALP leadership and three months before resigning from the Parliament, Whitlam delivered the Inaugural T.J. Ryan Memorial Lecture at the University of Queensland.
The lecture was hosted by the University's ALP Club. They published the speech in booklet form, a PDF copy of which can be downloaded below.
Whitlam was introduced by Dr. Denis Murphy, an academic at the University of Queensland. Murphy was a Labor historian and biographer. In 1975, he published a biography of T.J. Ryan. Elected as the member for Stafford in the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1983, Murphy died of cancer in 1984, at age 47. He died without ever making a parliamentary speech.
Thomas Joseph Ryan's life had also been cut short, at the age of 45, in 1921. Elected as the Labor member for Barcoo in the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1909, he became leader of the ALP in 1912 and Premier of Queensland in 1915. He was re-elected in 1918 and entered the Commonwealth Parliament in 1919 as the member for West Sydney, following an unprecedented resolution of a Special Federal Conference of the party requesting him to nominate.

Kerr Quits UNESCO Ambassadorship; Fraser's Parliamentary Statement
In a statement to the House of Representatives on March 2, 1978, Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser announced that Sir John Kerr would not be taking up his appointment as Australian Ambassador to UNESCO.
Kerr's decision followed an outpouring of criticism after his appointment had been announced by Fraser on February 9. The position with the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation was based in Paris.
Fraser defended Kerr's actions as Governor-General and said the government believed Kerr "should not be cast aside…simply because he was forced by the Government of the day to make a difficult decision". He said Kerr had "the right to serve this nation quietly, at peace with himself, at peace with the nation, at peace with his family". [Read more…]

Girls Basketball Preview
November 30, 2015 November 30, 2015 ~ robbie31290	~ Leave a comment
So appropriately enough on the day that Winter Sports practices officially begin, we begin our preview of the 2015-16 winter season by taking a look at the girls basketball team whose coach Glen Magpiong enters his second season at the helm and his 11th season overall in Wellesley basketball having coached in the boys program for 9 years prior to taking the head girls position last year. Coach Magpiong was kind enough to answer a few questions about the upcoming season which sees his Raiders coming off a 13-8 season a year ago, in which the Raiders were eliminated in the first round of the tournament falling to Brockton. That being said Magpiong sees a lot to build on heading into this season as his squad returns many key pieces from last year, "We have 8 returning who played on last years team, which is really exciting. Last year was the first time working on the girls side here at Wellesley and it took some getting used to for both them and me. To be honest, I think the transition was seamless and with the success we had
last year and with a very solid core group returning, I like our chances heading into the year."
The Raiders will go with 5 captains this year in seniors Emma Ivey, Caroline Sullivan, Katie Williamson, and Emily Cronin, along with junior Dorian Cohen. Magpiong is very excited about all the leadership qualities all the captains bring to the table. "Katie and Emily really spearheaded the off-season work (Emma was soccer Captain and Dorian and Caroline traveled a bunch with their AAU teams) and coordinated activities with the younger players. I am really looking forward to working with each players' unique leadership quality." In terms of key returning players Magpiong didn't want to point out specific players as tryouts are just beginning but did reiterate the core that this team has coming back which certainly brings with it a lot of optimism, We have 8 players who played on the varsity team last year, who will presumably be on the team this year. To be honest, I am excited about the prospects for each and every one of them. We also have some strong underclassman I am excited about."
As always the Raiders will be playing a tough Bay State Conference schedule and Magpiong is certainly aware of what the conference is capable of heading into the season. "I truly believe this will be one of the strongest years for the BSC.Every team on the Herget side returns a bunch of their players. Walpole the defending champion and I think they have 11 returners. Natick has arguably the best player in the state. Norwood returns virtually their entire team after going 16-4. Milton and Dedham are always tough. Braintree is the defending State Champion and Newton North gets back a D1 commit. It will be a battle, night in and night out." Lastly Magpiong touched on the exciting announcement that his team will be playing at TD Garden January 24th against their arch rivals the Needham Rockets. This will be Magpiong's second time coaching in the Garden as back in 2014 his boys team knocked off St Johns Prep. "The girls seem to be excited about having the opportunity to be playing at the Garden against Needham. When we did it with the boys a couple of years ago, it was the highlight of the year for some of us. The fact that it is against Needham, probably does make it a bit more special. Now we just need to make sure we fill the Garden at 8:30 AM on January 24th."
The Raiders open up their season Friday December 11th at Dedham and their home opener is the following Tuesday the 15th vs Needham.
This Upcoming Week

First of all want to wish all the winter sports athletes best of luck as they begin their seasons tomorrow. That being said the blog this week will be dedicated to winter sports previews as we take a look at what to expect out of all Raider teams in the 2015-16 winter season. Look out for that as we get started tomorrow with Girls and Boys Basketball.
Information About Wellesley Senior Baseball
Wellesley Senior Baseball Commissoner Mike Vogel passed along some information about an exciting new season of Wellesley Senior League Baseball which once again this year will be entering teams into the Natick Babe Ruth League. For any further information or questions please contact Mike directly at mikegvogel@hotmail.com
WLL Senior Baseball 2016
Wellesley will be entering teams into a combined Dover/Natick/Wellesley Babe Ruth league. Games will be played on a major league diamond and will offer boys an opportunity to continue to develop their baseball skills and adjust to playing on a big diamond, while participating in a competitive league. Games will be played in Dover, Natick, and Wellesley. The season will run from April to the middle of June, including playoffs. There will also be an opportunity to participate in preseason practice sessions run by professional coaches during the months of January and February.
Once the season begins there will be 2 or 3 games and one practice a week. We will have some flexibility to accommodate AAU/school baseball schedules. This is an excellent opportunity for boys who want to continue to refine their skills before trying out for a school team next year, are looking for a second league in which to get extra at bats and game experience, or just want to keep playing the game they love.
Raider Friday Trivia Answer
So the question poised yesterday was what Major League Baseball organization does former Wellesley High School baseball standout Nate Freiman (05) play for currently? The answer is… The Oakland Athletics as Freiman joined the A's back in 2013 playing for the big league both all or part of both that year and 2014 while this season Freiman played the full year down in the A's minor league system.
So with all the hustle and bustle of the start of this holiday weekend I almost forgot about Raider Friday Trivia but luckily for you folks I didn't! That being said here's today's question. What Major League Baseball organization does former Wellesley High School standout Nate Freiman (05) play for? Answer tomorrow.

1482: NowPlaying
Revision as of 14:58, 4 February 2015 by 173.245.56.202 (talk) (→Explanation: added secondary meaning)
The correct title of this page is 1482: #NowPlaying. It appears incorrectly here because of technical restrictions.
Comic #1482 (February 4, 2015)
Title text: If you click on the post, it takes you to search results for the note on various online music stores.
There are a variety of applications that post a user's music-listening habits on their preferred social network. In this comic, Randall takes that notion to its extreme, envisioning a program that does this note-by-note, rather than just song-by-song. As notes are much shorter than songs, this would lead to the flooding of friends' notification streams. In the example, the software is sharing the notes Brian is listening to; and his friends Mike and Caitlin are getting annoyed with the amount of posts they are receiving.
There are typically many hundreds of notes in any song, and any song with more than a single line of music contains multiple different notes at the same time (see articles on harmony or chords). It's not clear how the service would describe such notes, or if it only reports notes from the primary melody line. Even if only the primary melody is reported by the service, all but the slowest songs will still require reporting dozens to hundreds of notes every minute (a single glissando may cover a dozen or more notes in less than a second), meaning that anyone who can see your stream of posts will be literally inundated by posts from the service. Even if you could keep up with the speed of the posted notes that someone is listening to, the similarity in phrases in many songs (especially pop songs eg:Pachelbel's Rant) means that many different songs may include the same sequence of notes, though possibly in different octaves or at different speeds.
The comic's title alludes to the fact that you can "play a song" but can also "play a note." It may also allude to the visual similarities between the hash/pound/number sign (#) and the sharp sign (♯).
Of note: Some of the tweets are out of order. For instance, "Brian is now listening to A" is timestamped at 3:29, with Caitlin on the next line timestamped st 3:28, with the next note likewise at 3:28.
Also note: The first partially visible 'note' post, "E major", is actually not a note, but a chord, made up of at least three notes, E, G#, and B. (Further note: The "major" has since been removed from the comic and now reads simply "E")
Here are some synthesized versions of the notes in the order they appear in the comic. OGG MIDI They appear to be the beginning of "I'll Be There For You" by The Rembrandts, the title music of the TV series "Friends". This suggests a possible hidden meaning: that Brian's friends are concerned he is watching this particular TV series...or it could simply be an instance of effective nerd sniping.
[A social network news feed with user images for each of the three different contributors. The top of the first post is partly obscured, and for the last post only half of the first line is visible. ]
Brian is now listening to: E major
Today ● 3:28 PM

So what song is it? 108.162.242.10 06:11, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
I believe it is the Main Theme from Jurassic Park. --Duhsn (talk) 06:13, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
If you have good ears you can check for yourself: Link --108.162.254.134 09:05, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Nope, not even close. Wrong notes, wrong key (although that doesn't matter as much, could be transposed). Though I thought it was the little bit at the end of "This Old Man", but the last 3 notes don't make sense, and when I try to play it, the first A doesn't quite work (also found sheet music, and that first A should be a B, confirmed). Oh well. - Mikowmer --108.162.249.218 11:26, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Might it be the folk melody "Country Gardens"? See the Wikipedia entry or look it up one of the many performances on Youtube (there's a charming performance with the Muppets Rowlf and Fozzie Bear) 188.114.103.238 14:14, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
I'm your lady by Celine Dion matches the note progression and Brian's friends reactions. 108.162.219.149 09:01, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
E major, is a chord, not a note...108.162.249.169 06:36, 4 February 2015 (UTC) You can listen to the sequence of notes here: http://onlinesequencer.net/65475 (All notes the same length, and just guessing which octave each should be in...) 108.162.249.169 06:36, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Just because I want to get it stuck in your head :D, Added a bit to the beginning and end and changed octaves. http://onlinesequencer.net/65487 --Duhsn (talk) 07:40, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
The image on this page is NOT the same one as on the actual xkcd page. The original comic does not contain the reference to E Major. Andries (talk) 07:42, 4 February 2015 (UTC)Andries
Is he rick rolling us? 199.27.128.182 07:48, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
He must have agreed with your comment about E major not being a note and changed it. --Duhsn (talk) 07:54, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
"and his friends Mike and Caitlin appear to be becoming concerned about his choice of music"... really? I thought they were upset that they were getting spammed by a post every second or so? "and the notion that someone could become concerned about you based on a list of notes is even more ridiculous."... similarly, not so ridiculous if they're concerned about you spamming them with too many postings! Finally, "The comic's title alludes to the fact that you can "play a song" but can also "play a note." It may also allude to the visual similarities between the hash/pound/number sign (#) and the sharp sign (♯)."... I don't get either of these references. The hash/sharp comparison is cute, except that the sharp sign doesn't appear in the comic. I took it as a simple extension of the usual someone is listening to some song messages linking to searches for that song "on various online music stores" if you click on them... that is, if you click on a particular note, it'll link to a search for songs that include that note - equally as useless as posting the individual notes of a song in the first place. Extra-finally, I'd love to see Mike & Caitlin's reactions if Brian listened to anything with a glissando... Haven't made any of these as changes as I'm not sure they're more than just my own opinion. 108.162.249.220 07:55, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Okay, so I've redone the second paragraph for facts, but haven't touched any of the other opinion bits. 108.162.249.220 08:40, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Text may also be a reference to an old joke about a composer who writes, and copyrights, a composition consisting of a single note: middle C. All other composers who later included middle C would thus be quoting his composition, entitling him to royalties; all composers who used any OTHER note would be simply transposing the original composition into another key, and would still owe the royalty..." 108.162.215.112 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I've changed the thing about Mike & Caitlin being concerned about music choice, as this is (as noted by other commentators) *much* less likely than their being concerned about having their news feeds spammed.141.101.98.135 09:25, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Would the Axis of Awesome 4 Chords song be a proper citation to prove many (pop) songs are made up of the same chords? Link of their youtube: http://youtu.be/oOlDewpCfZQ I think it would be funny, at least. 173.245.53.192 14:03, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Why are the times out of order? 108.162.213.41 14:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Brian's system or the one hat runs the social network might run on an older Version of Xen, so it gets "time went backwards" isses (e.g., http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195) and therefore wrong timestamps. Do we require to re-order the notes accordingly? Renormalist (talk) 16:09, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Btw, I interpreted Mike's comment not as annoyance about the entry flooding but that he can "hear" the melody in his head (like Beethoven) and hears a wrong tune. And maybe it's a small special community (like in xkcd/1305, which would also fit to the timestamp issues they have) so he starts discussing that wrong tune. Renormalist (talk) 16:45, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
I tried to correct the image, twice, and it still stays the same with the original error. I did this after adding the trivia section with the original image. Hope someone can correct this --Kynde (talk) 17:48, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Try clearing your browser cache. The image looks correct on my screen. KieferSkunk (talk) 18:53, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Totally nerd sniped.. Musipedia seems to think the closest melodic match is "Cream" by Eric Clapton... Hard to get without seconds (so you can get some idea of the rhythm) BadPirate (talk) 20:32, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Surprising no one has mentioned the contrast with John Cage's "As Slow As Possible" now playing in the St Burchardi Church of Halberstadt, Germany. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slow_as_Possible Taibhse (talk) 21:47, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
I suspect the hypothetical service might have trouble with some John Cage works (http://youtu.be/zY7UK-6aaNA), as well as anything relying on nature or ambient sounds, or not conforming to the chromatic scale - untuned percussion instruments, or perhaps a didgeridoo or kazoo. 108.162.249.220 00:23, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Except that "As Slow As Possible" is all tonal, chromatic scale, instrument not even specified though usually organ. The point being it is heard a single note (or chord) at a time, by design. The current performance is planned to last hundreds of years, though it has often been performed in a matter of hours or days. Taibhse (talk) 08:18, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
I removed speculations about chords from the explantion - the reference to E major was a mistake that has been fixed. Also, not all notes appear in all songs, so the search for a note won't return all songs. Each key signature only uses seven of the twelve notes, and each note appears only in seven of the twelve key signatures. Excursion: The question in which fraction of all songs a certain note appears might be interesting for musicologists, but also quite hard to even give an educated guess: Many songs contain a few notes that don't belong to their key, there are modulations, and last but not least, some key signatures are much more common than others - I would guess that in pop music, the upper right half of the circle of fifths (from F major to E major) accounts for at least 95% of all songs, which would mean that notes like C flat are much less common than C. Chrisahn (talk) 13:52, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
"twelve key signatures" ... "notes like C flat are much less common than C". Since you say there are only 12 (major) key signatures and not 15 you must be counting B/Cb, F#/Gb, and C#/Db major as the same keys. But then you talk about the note Cb (diatonic in 2 keys) like it's a different note from B (diatonic in 7 keys). You can't have it both ways. 173.245.52.109 18:55, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Oops. You're right. Good catch. What do we do? Randall's bot probably distinguishes between C sharp / D flat. If we do that too, we'll have to distinguish between enharmonic keys. So how many keys (key signatures) are there? 15 is not enough either - it would exclude G-sharp major and F-flat major. It would be logically correct to say that there are infinitely many key signatures. ;-) I think useful answers could only be found empirically. Alas, I don't think any musicologist will bother to solve this riddle. Humanity will remain ignorant. Chrisahn (talk) 18:28, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
Might be "I want to break free" from Queen 141.101.98.96 19:16, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

PHANTASMAGORIA +1Clk Windows 11 10 8 7 Vista XP Install
Pray It's Only a Nightmare
(Sierra 1995)
This listing includes the original game CDs. An on-screen printable manual is also included. The box is pictured for reference and is not included.
Phantasmagoria was Sierra's first attempt at a full-blown, live-action, interactive video adventure, and their ambition largely matched the results. A four-plus-million-dollar budget and over two years in production translated into high quality gaming. For its time Phantasmagoria was the largest production by any computer game developer then to date.
Phantasmagoria was designed and written by master storyteller Roberta Williams and represented an unprecedented effort by Sierra On-Line to develop a full-blown, live action, multimedia interactive adventure extravaganza. Using professional actors with real sets and Full Motion Video, it brings a new sense of make belief to computer adventure gaming. To many, Phantasmagoria symbolizes the beginning of a dangerous trend among game developers to mix in live action videos to enhance storytelling and gameplay.
The newly wedded couple, Adrienne and Don, has just moved into a large but deserted island mansion originally built by a famous but enigmatic illusionist named Carno. Soon after their arrival, eerie sounds and unearthly apparitions begin to haunt Adrienne. Her loving husband Don starts to behave strangely and violently towards her. As Adrienne explores her new founded home, flashbacks of terrible murders happened long ago frighten her. You, as Adrienne, must unravel the dark mystery surrounding the house and exorcise the evil that has taken control of her home and her husband.
As a piece of fiction, Phantasmagoria indeed is a masterpiece combining horrific visual imaginary and moody ambient music with an engaging plot. It unfolds with a gripping tone over 7 novel style chapters. The chilling opening theme Consumite Furore is sung by the CSUF Concert Choir. The acting in Phantasmagoria is decent enough. Adrienne is played by the beautiful Victoria Morsell, while Don is played by David Homb and Carno is played by Robert Miano.
AThe interface in Phantasmagoria is limited to a simple point-and-click navigation. In-game hints are readily available from the Hintkeeper during play to minimize any frustration of the player over a difficult challenge. In fact the entire game, except for the last chapter, is played out without a time limit.
Phantasmagoria is among the few titles in this genre in existent that features a female character as the main protagonist. At the time Williams said that this game is inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King. Phantasmagoria created much controversy at the retail due to its adult themes and contents. A censorship option with password protection even exists to block out certain explicit adult scenes in the game. The title has been banned from several retailers because of a controversy rape scene, even though there is no actual nudity seen.
Overall, Phantasmagoria succeeds as an interactive horror story that is backed by stunning visual and audio effects. Sleepless nights may await those who dare to enter the realm of horror created by Williams.

Vatican Library – Virtual Tour
The Vatican Library is the library of the Holy See, located in Vatican City, and was formally established in 1475 and is one of the oldest libraries in the world.
The library contains 75,000 codices, as well as 1.1 million printed books, which include some 8,500 incunabula. It has 42 kilometers (26 mi) of shelving.
Today, the Vatican Library is a research library for history, law, philosophy, science, and theology. The Vatican Library is open to anyone who can document their qualifications and research needs.

Borgia Map
Hadith Bayad wa Riyad – 13th-century Arabic Love Story
Highlights Tour of the Vatican Library
The Borgia Map is a world map made sometime in the early 15th century and engraved on a metal plate. The map was made in about 1450 with a script that identifies it as being made in south German.
The map seeks to not only illustrate the geography of the different countries but also to comment on their ethnography, natural conditions, religion, and critical events of their history.
Unfortunately, nothing about the authorship of the Borgia map is known. The map has a well-crafted and design and was made to last a long time as it is engraved on a copper plate.
Its quality and historical context make Borgia Map one of the most famous ancient maps in the history and evolution of cartography. The map is of non-Ptolemaic origins and is oriented with the South at the top.
The Codex Vaticanus is one of the oldest surviving copies of the Bible and only one of the four surviving codices that containing the entire text of the Greek Old and New Testament Bible.
The Codex is named after the Vatican Library, where it has been kept since at least the 15th century. It is written on 759 leaves of vellum in uncial letters and has been dated to 325–350.
Scholars consider the Codex Vaticanus to be one of the most important witnesses to the Greek text of the New Testament. The most widely sold editions of the Greek New Testament are primarily based on the text of the Codex Vaticanus.
The manuscript is in a quarto volume, composed initially of 830 parchment leaves, but it appears that 71 sheets have been lost.
The Story of Bayad and Riyad is a 13th-century Arabic love story. The Hadith Bayad wa Riyad manuscript is one of three surviving illustrated manuscripts from medieval al-Andalus in modern Spain and Portugal.
This illustrated medieval Arabic manuscript of Andalusi is an extremely rare Arabic manuscript preserved in the Vatican collection.
The manuscript is believed to be the only illustrated manuscript known to have survived from more than eight centuries of Muslim and Arab presence in Spain.
The tale is about Bayad, a merchant's son and a foreigner from Damascus, and Riyad, a well-educated slave girl in the court of a senior minister in northern Mesopotamia.
The Gutenberg Bible was among the earliest books and the first Bible printed using mass-produced movable metal type in Europe. This book, published in the 1450s, is valued for its aesthetic and artistic qualities, as well as its historical significance.
Forty-nine copies have survived and are among the world's most valuable books. Less than 185 copies were printed with about three-quarters on paper and the others on vellum.
The Gutenberg Bible contains the Latin version of the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament. Most were sold to monasteries, universities, and wealthy individuals.
The Bible seems to have sold out immediately, with a price of at least three years' wages for a clerk. Although this made them significantly cheaper than manuscript Bibles, most people of ordinary income wouldn't have been able to afford them.
The Gutenberg Bible had a profound effect on the history of the printed book and influenced future editions of the Bible.
Of the 49 Gutenberg Bibles known to exist today, only 21 are complete. Others have pages or whole volumes missing. Twelve copies on vellum survive, although only four of these are complete.
History of the Vatican Library
In 1451, Pope Nicholas V sought to establish a public library at the Vatican, to re-establish Rome as a destination for scholars.
Nicholas combined some 350 Greek, Latin, and Hebrew codices inherited from his predecessors with his extensive acquisitions, among them manuscripts from the imperial Library of Constantinople.
Pope Nicholas also expanded his collection by employing Italian and Byzantine scholars to translate the Greek classics into Latin for his library.
Nicolas also encouraged the inclusion of pagan classics. He was influential in saving many of the Greek works and writings. In 1455, the collection had grown to 1200 books, of which 400 were in Greek.
In 1475 his successor Pope Sixtus IV founded the Palatine Library. During his papacy, acquisitions were made in theology, philosophy, and artistic literature. At the time, it was the most extensive collection of books in the Western world.
Around 1587, Pope Sixtus V commissioned the construction of a new building for the library, which is still used today and became known as the Vatican Library.

During the Counter-Reformation, access to the library's collections was limited following the introduction of the Index of banned books.
In 1809, Napoleon Bonaparte removed the contents of the library to Paris. The contents were returned in 1817, after the defeat of Napoleon.
Restrictions were lifted during the 17th century, and Pope Leo XIII formally reopened the library to scholars in 1883.
In 2014, the Vatican Library began a project of digitizing its collection of manuscripts, to be made available online.
A codex (plural: codices) is a book constructed of several sheets of paper, vellum, papyrus, or similar materials. The term is usually reserved to describe manuscript books with handwritten contents.
The Codex is usually bound by stacking the pages and fixing one edge to a spine. In the Western world, the alternative to the paged Codex is the continuous scroll, which was the dominant form of document in the Ancient World.
The spread of the Codex is associated with the rise of Christianity, which adopted the format for the Bible. First described in the 1st-century AD, the Codex became more popular than the scroll after 300 AD.
Some codices are continuously folded like a concertina, in particular the Maya codices and Aztec codices, which are long sheets of paper or animal skin folded into pages.
An incunable is a book, pamphlet, or broadside printed in Europe before the 16th century. Incunabula are not manuscripts, which are documents written by hand.
There are about 30,000 distinct known printed documents that have survived from before 1501. It is estimated that the number of lost editions is at least 20,000.
Vatican Apostolic Archive – Vatican Secret Archive
The Vatican Apostolic Archive was known until recently as the Vatican Secret Archive is the repository all acts promulgated by the Holy See. The pope owns the material held in the archive until his death or resignation, with ownership passing to his successor.
The archive also contains state papers, correspondence, and many other documents that the church has accumulated over the centuries.
In the 17th century, under the orders of Pope Paul V, the Secret Archive was separated from the Vatican Library. The Secret Archive remained closed to outsiders until the late 19th century when Pope Leo XIII opened the archive to researchers.
Parts of the archive do, however, remain truly secret or "classified." Most of the materials which are actively denied to outsiders relate to contemporary personalities and activities, including everything dated after 1939, as well as the private records of church figures after 1922.
In 2019, Pope Francis changed the name Vatican Secret Archive to Vatican Apostolic Archive.
