The '''Hallmark Channel''' is a [[cable television]] network that broadcasts across the United States. They specialize in re-broadcasting classic syndicated series and [[television movies]] that are appropriate for the whole family. It is owned by [[Crown Media|Crown Media Holdings]], in turn majority-owned by Hallmark Cards.

== History ==
[[Image:Odyssey-1.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The Odyssey Network logo]]

{{Main|Vision Interfaith Satellite Network|American Christian Television System}}

In the [[United States]], the network began as two separate religious cable channels, the [[American Christian Television System]] (ACTS) and the [[Vision Interfaith Satellite Network]] (VISN). These two networks shared time on the same channel beginning in 1992.<ref name="RBc24_9">{{cite journal |year=1992 |month=October |title=VISN, ACTS Sign Agreement To Share Single Cable Signal |journal=Religious Broadcasting |issn=0034-4079 |page=32 |publisher=[[National Religious Broadcasters]] |volume=24 |issue=9}}</ref> Under the original time sharing arrangement the network would be called ''VISN/ACTS''; Each station was provided time for its programming blocks, and would use its own logo.

VISN aired about 16 hours a day and had religious programs from mainline Protestant denominations like the [[United Methodist Church]], the [[ELCA|Lutheran Church]], [[United Church Of Christ]], and others. [[Roman Catholic]], [[Mormon Church|Mormon (Latter Day Saints)]], [[Jewish]] and [[Islamic]] faiths also provided programming.<ref name="CYTY_39_11">{{cite journal |last=Calian |first=Carnegie Samuel |title=Redeeming the wasteland? Christian TV increasingly uses entertainment to spread its message. |journal=[[Christianity Today]] |date=1995-10-02 |volume=39 |issue=11 |pages=92-103 |issn=0009-5753}}</ref> VISN aired in mornings and evenings. ACTS aired programming from [[evangelical]] and [[fundamentalist]] non- [[charismatic]] Christian groups like [[Southern Baptist Convention]], [[Christian Reformed Church]], [[Association of Regular Baptist Churches]], as well as well known evangelists like [[Jerry Fawell]], [[Charles Stanley]], [[D James Kennedy]], among others. Both channels had several hours a week of religious children's programs, some of which overlapped. These shows included [[Sunshine Factory]], [[Joy Junction]], [[Davey and Goliath]], [[JOT (TV series)|Jot]], and others.

In 1993, the network was renamed ''The Faith and Values Channel''. It began to phase out religious programming in 1994, when a few [[secular]] shows were added, such as exercise shows, health and cooking shows, and family-friendly dramas and movies. More secular programming was added in 1996. At that time religious programming went down to about 10 hours a day. Faith And Values was then renamed the ''Odyssey Channel'', using the domain name Odysseyfamily.com for posting TV listings.

[[Crown Media]] Holdings and [[The Jim Henson Company]] bought stakes in Odyssey Channel in November 1998. At that point religious programs went down to four hours a day. Some classic sitcoms, children's programming like [[The Muppet Show]], and more family movies were added. Henson sold its interest in the channel to Crown Media Holdings in 2000. Odyssey then dropped much of the children's programming and cut back the religious shows to a few hours on Sundays.

The channel was officially renamed ''The Hallmark Channel'' on August 5, 2001.<ref name=milestones>[http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/PageList/OneColTemplate.aspx?PageID=129 Hallmark Channel Press site: Company Milestones]</ref> The channel continued to focus on family and drama shows, drama movies, classic sitcoms, and other general entertainment. A remnant of the VISN network continues to own about 5% of the channel, and still produces some content for them.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Downey |first=Kevin |title=Spiritual Syndicator's Gamble |journal=[[Broadcasting & Cable]] |date=2008-02-11 |page=20}}</ref>

==Company milestones==
David Evans was CEO of the newly-developing network, until he resigned in May 2006.<ref>{{cite web|work=Encyclopedia.com: Daily Variety|title=Hallmark Exec folding cards|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-154815540.html}}</ref> The network was without a formal CEO until October 2006, when Henry Schleiff was appointed as the new [[CEO]], overseeing all of the networks’ divisions.<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/publish/pr/home/corporate/executive_bios_/henry_s_schleiff.html Hallmark Channel Press site: Bio Page]</ref> Prior to this position, Schleiff was Chairman and CEO of [[Court TV]].<ref>[http://www.unicefusa.org/about/leadership/board/henry-schleiff.html Unicef contributor's profile]</ref>

In January 2007, Hallmark Channel dropped the Hallmark crown from its logo, but still uses it in certain places on-air, and in other countries. On May 27, 2007, Hallmark Channel launched “Watch With Me,” a new national public affairs initiative aimed to promote programming for families to watch together, and "to spend more time together."<ref name="milestones" />

In [[2008]], Hallmark Channel unveiled a new branding campaign with predominantly gold coloring, a stylized logo, and a new slogan: "Make Yourself At Home".

In February 2008, the [[Hillary Clinton]] campaign purchased an hour of Hallmark Channel's primetime under a [[informercial|paid programming]] arrangement on February 4, 2008, the day before the multi-state "[[Super Tuesday (2008)]]" primaries. <ref>[http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/cabletv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003705031 Clinton Buys Block on Hallmark] [[Mediaweek]] 2008-01-31</ref>

On May 6, 2009, Henry Schlieff stepped down as CEO. William J. Abbott, Executive Vice President of Advertising Sales stepped in to the position the same day. Both parties said Schleiff's departure was amicable.<ref>{{cite web | work=Hallmark Channel Press Site | title=Crown Media Holdings President and CEO Henry Schleiff To Leave Hallmark Channel|date=5-6-09|url=http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/publish/pr/home/corporate/press_releases_1/press_release_050609.html}}</ref> Later that month it was announced that Crown Media Holdings had put the channel up for sale, which was burdened with over $1 billion in debt for the network. After over a month with no prospects for buying the network, it was taken off the block; the board blamed the large debt for the lack of interest. CEO William J. Abbott decided that Crown Media Holdings would take the network in a younger, "lighter" direction, while continuing to cater to baby boomers.<ref name=sale>{{cite web|work=Broadcasting Cable.com|title=Hallmark: Change is in the Cards|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/295389-Hallmark_Change_Is_in_the_Cards.php}}</ref>

However, in 2008 the company had ramped up their production schedule to approximately 30 movies a year and opened up to other production companies.<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/publish/pr/home/corporate/press_releases_1/press_release_0712075.html Hallmark Channel Press Release: 7/12/2007]</ref> In March 2009 the network unveiled an aggressive programming slate of 35 original movies for the 2009-2010 upfront season, marking the most ambitious line-up in the network’s history.<ref name="milestones" /><ref>{{cite web|work=Futon Critic|title=Hallmark Channel Increases Programming to 35 Original Movies for '09-'10 Upfront Season|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?date=03/24/09&id=20090324hallmark03}}</ref>

The segments are featured on each movies' individual microsite.<ref name="milestones" /> The series had a soft launch in July 2007 with the title "Inside Story" and a different host for ''[[Avenging Angel (2007 TV film)|Avenging Angel]]'',<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/publish/consumer/home/shows/avenging_angel0.html ''Avenging Angel'' Microsite]</ref> ''[[Charlie & Me]]'',<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/publish/consumer/home/shows/charlie_and_me.html ''Charlie & Me'' Microsite]</ref> ''[[The Good Witch]]'',<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/publish/consumer/home/shows/the_good_witch.html ''The Good Witch'' Microsite]</ref> ''Daniel's Daughter'',<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/publish/consumer/home/shows/daniels_daughter.html ''Daniel's Daughter'' Microsite]</ref> and ''[[The Note (film)|The Note]]''.<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/publish/consumer/home/shows/the_note.html ''The Note'' Microsite]</ref>

In mid-June of 2009, the network announced it would sell individual ad breaks featuring a single advertiser. The so-called “Fast Breaks” will come with short bumpers announcing that the show will return in 30 seconds.

Both channels had several hours a week of religious children's programs, some of which overlapped. These shows included [[Sunshine Factory]], [[Joy Junction]], [[Davey and Goliath]], [[JOT (TV series)|Jot]], and others.

In 1993, the network was renamed ''The Faith and Values Channel''. It began to phase out religious programming in 1994, when a few [[secular]] shows were added, such as exercise shows, health and cooking shows, and family-friendly dramas and movies. More secular programming was added in 1996. At that time religious programming went down to about 10 hours a day. Faith And Values was then renamed the ''Odyssey Channel'', using the domain name Odysseyfamily.com for posting TV listings.

[[Crown Media]] Holdings and [[The Jim Henson Company]] bought stakes in Odyssey Channel in November 1998. At that point religious programs went down to four hours a day. Some classic sitcoms, children's programming like [[The Muppet Show]], and more family movies were added. Henson sold its interest in the channel to Crown Media Holdings in 2000. Odyssey then dropped much of the children's programming and cut back the religious shows to a few hours on Sundays.

The channel was officially renamed ''The Hallmark Channel'' on August 5, 2001.<ref name=milestones>[http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/PageList/OneColTemplate.aspx?PageID=129 Hallmark Channel Press site: Company Milestones]</ref> The channel continued to focus on family and drama shows, drama movies, classic sitcoms, and other general entertainment.

==Company milestones==
David Evans was CEO of the newly-developing network, until he resigned in May 2006.<ref>{{cite web|work=Encyclopedia.com: Daily Variety|title=Hallmark Exec folding cards|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-154815540.html}}</ref> The network was without a formal CEO until October 2006, when Henry Schleiff was appointed as the new [[CEO]], overseeing all of the networks’ divisions.<ref>[http://www.hallmarkchannelpress.com/publish/pr/home/corporate/executive_bios_/henry_s_schleiff.html Hallmark Channel Press site: Bio Page]</ref> Prior to this position, Schleiff was Chairman and CEO of [[Court TV]].<ref>[http://www.unicefusa.org/about/leadership/board/henry-schleiff.html Unicef contributor's profile]</ref>

In January 2007, Hallmark Channel dropped the Hallmark crown from its logo, but still uses it in certain places on-air, and in other countries. On May 27, 2007, Hallmark Channel launched “Watch With Me,” a new national public affairs initiative aimed to promote programming for families to watch together, and "to spend more time together."<ref name="milestones" />

In [[2008]], Hallmark Channel unveiled a new branding campaign with predominantly gold coloring, a stylized logo, and a new slogan: "Make Yourself At Home".

In February 2008, the [[Hillary Clinton]] campaign purchased an hour of Hallmark Channel's primetime under a [[informercial|paid programming]] arrangement on February 4, 2008, the day before the multi-state "[[Super Tuesday (2008)]]" primaries. <ref>[http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/cabletv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003705031 Clinton Buys Block on Hallmark] [[Mediaweek]] 2008-01-31</ref>

On May 6, 2009, Henry Schlieff stepped down as CEO. William J. Abbott, Executive Vice President of Advertising Sales stepped in to the position the same day.

After over a month with no prospects for buying the network, it was taken off the block; the board blamed the large debt for the lack of interest. CEO William J.

'''Galactic Cowboys''' was a [[Heavy metal music|Heavy Metal]] band based in [[Houston]], Texas. They combined progressive metal with a style of vocals influenced by [[The Beatles]] and the heavy playing style of thrash bands such as [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]]. They have been described as "possibly the most melodic metal band ever to exist in Christian or general markets."<ref name="Powell_Fe">{{cite book |last=Powell |first=Mark Allan |title=Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music |year=2002 |publisher=Hendrickson Publishers |location=[[Peabody, Massachusetts|Peabody]], [[Massachusetts]] |isbn=1-56563-679-1 |edition=First printing |chapter=Galactic Cowboys |pages=353–354}}</ref> Although the band members subscribed to the Christian faith, they did not consider the Galactic Cowboys to be a Christian band.<ref>[http://www.galacticcowboys.com/faq.html Galactic Cowboys FAQ items #6, #7]</ref>

The band has toured with prominent hard rock acts such as [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]], [[Dream Theater]], [[King's X]] and [[Overkill (band)|Overkill]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.musicmayhem.com/interviewmontycolvin.htm | accessdate=2008-03-06 | title=Monty Colvin (interview) | publisher=Music Mayhem | date=January 2008 | first=Bay | last=Breez }}</ref>

==History==
''Galactic Cowboys'' was formed in 1989 in [[Houston, Texas]] by bassist Monty Colvin and singer drummer Alan Doss, after being together in [[The Awful Truth (band)|The Awful Truth]]. After that band broke up, they added singer Ben Huggins and guitarist Dane Sonnier.

In 1990, the band was signed to [[Geffen Records|DGC]] and released their [[Galactic Cowboys (album)|self-titled debut album]] in 1991. Despite some favorable criticism, the band was ignored by the label due to the success of [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]'s ''Nevermind'' during that same time. After poor sales and some touring, they returned to the studio and released ''[[Space In Your Face]]'' in 1993. ''Space...'' was the band's break into the general market.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/> The album garnered some minor hits for the band with ''"If I Were A Killer"'' and ''"I Do What I Do"'', both of which received regular airplay at [[MTV]] and the now-defunct radio station ZROCK respectively. At this point, the band was dropped from DGC, parted ways with manager Sam Taylor, and guitarist Dane Sonnier left the band.

The band appeared in the 1994 movie ''[[Airheads]]'', under the name "Sons of Thunder".<ref name="Powell_Fe"/><ref>[http://www.galacticcowboys.com/faq.html Galactic Cowboys FAQ item #23]</ref> The one original song they performed for that movie, ''"Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful"'', is not available anywhere, and only a short excerpt is heard in the movie.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.hmmagazine.com/reviews/dvd/archives/000061.php | publisher=''[[HM (magazine)|HM]]'' | title=Airheads (review) | first=Doug | last=van Pelt | accessdate=2008-03-06 }}</ref>

After briefly breaking up, the band reorganized with Wally Farkas on guitars and a new deal with [[Metal Blade Records]], and released their third album, ''[[Machine Fish]]'', in 1996. That same year they also released an [[EP]] titled ''[[Feel The Rage]]'' that included some original songs, two covers and two live tracks. In 1997, they followed with ''[[The Horse That Bud Bought]]'' which was a minor departure into a toned-down style.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/>

At this point, the band recorded what many fans regard as their masterpiece, ''[[At The End Of The Day]]'' in 1998. This album marked a return to the heavier style featured in previous releases.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/> However, two weeks before the album's release Alan Doss decided to leave the band. Erick Tatuaka was hired to fill in for Doss during their subsequent tour, but was not a member of the band.

In 2000 the band announced the release of their last album titled ''[[Let It Go (Galactic Cowboys Album)|Let It Go]]''. The album included lead vocal contributions from all members. Most of the drumming duties were handled by [[Jerry Gaskill]] ([[King's X]]), a good friend of the band.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/>

Besides their original songs, they have recorded cover versions of songs by [[Kiss (band)|KISS]], [[Petra (band)|Petra]] and [[Wings (band)|Wings]].<ref>[http://www.galacticcowboys.com/faq.html Galactic Cowboys FAQ item #26]</ref>

As of 2008, the former members of the band continue to be active in the music scene.

==Members==
===Monty Colvin===
Bassist and backing vocalist for Galactic Cowboys from 1991 until 2000, Monty Colvin embarked on a solo career in 2000 with his band project [[Crunchy]]. The first album, ''All Day Sucker'', released in 2001, defined the Crunchy sound as fun, pop punk with a slight heavy guitar edge. On Crunchy's second album, ''Clown School Dropout'', the band was stripped down to Monty playing most of the instruments and bringing in a hired drummer; here Monty added a bit more crunch to the formula. Band influences include the [[Wildhearts]], [[Cheap Trick]], [[Foo Fighters]], and the [[Ramones]], in addition to the aforementioned Galactic Cowboys. The third Crunchy album, ''Loserville'' (2007), includes a contribution by [[Kerry Livgren]] of [[Kansas (band)|Kansas]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.westword.com/2007-11-01/music/mini-reviews/ | publisher=''Westworld'' (Denver) | accessdate=2008-03-06 | date=1 November 2007 | title=Mini Reviews | first=Chris | last=Callaway}}</ref>

Monty is also a cousin of the now deceased [[Dee Dee Ramone]] (Douglas Glenn Colvin), formerly of the Ramones<ref name=HMColvin>{{cite news | url=http://www.hmmagazine.com/exclusive/crunchy_monty_colvin_interview200306/index.php?page=5 | title=Crunchy - Monty Colvin interview | publisher=''[[HM (magazine)|HM]]'' | first=Chad | last=Olson | accessdate=2008-03-06 | year=2003 }}</ref>. Monty's bass also provides a distinct sound which is much evident in Galactic Cowboys' sound.

===Alan Doss===
Since leaving the music industry for a while, Alan has involved himself with managing and producing. Most recently, he has served in that capacity for the bands Ashbury Keys and Jambi's Revenge, also contributing instrumental work (notably on keyboards) to the outputs of those bands.

===Ben Huggins===
Ben's musical activities of late have included recording and playing with his new band Gristle, in addition to guest appearances with artists such as The Phlegmatics. A Gristle album is expected to be released in 2008 or 2009.

===Wally Farkas===
Wally has worked as a distributor for hip hop artists in the Houston area. He teamed with [[Ty Tabor]] of King's X to release an ambient album under the name Xenuphobe in 2006. Recently, he established a new record label, Molken Music for a handful of artists with which he has had prior connections.

Wally just co-produced and played guitar on the upcoming solo disc from [[Doug Pinnick]] of King's X, ''Strum Sum Up''. He is currently finishing work on his forthcoming solo album, "Past Due."

===Dane Sonnier===
Since leaving Galactic Cowboys, Dane has kept involved in the music world, most notably in The Sonnier Brothers Band, the band he formed with his brother Len.<ref>[http://www.sonnierbrothersband.com/bios_dane.html Sonnier Brothers Band: Dane Sonnier biography]</ref>

Deel Castle

2009-03-17T18:53:12Z

DantheCowMan: /* References */ cleanup

'''Deel Castle'''(Caoslean na Daoile in [[Irish language|Irish]]) was built in the 1500's by the Bourke's and later renamed Castle Gore. It is located near the town of [[Crossmolina]], [[County Mayo]] in [[Ireland]]

[[Image:deelcastle.jpg|thumb|Deel castle]]

== History ==

As the name suggests the translation means the Castle of the River Deel.
Deel Castle is a 16th Century Tower House of the Bourkes which is close to the nothern end of Lough Conn. After Col. Thomas Bourke had fought on the side of King James in the Williamite Wars the property was forfeited and given to the Gore family, afterwards Earls of Arran, who renamed it Castle Gore.The tower-house had a large C.I 8 wing with a handsome rusticated doorway added to it; possibly incorporating a C.17 range.They also acquired the Manor of Belleek from the O'Haras, Barons Tyrawley and owned estates in county Donegal
The castle along with other lands was leased to James Cuff, Lord Tyrawley towards the end of the 18th century. Occupied by the Cuff's steward for part of the 19th century.
James Cuff, Lord Tyrawley, built a house beside the Old Bourke Castle in 1791. The house was burnt in 1922 and not rebuilt
The old castle, which was still intact in the early 1900's is now a ruin.

The '''Goulburn to Oberon Road''' is a [[New South Wales]] country road linking [[Goulburn, New South Wales|Goulburn]] near the [[Hume Highway]] to [[Oberon, New South Wales|Oberon]]. The road is designated as Main Road 256 and is ''"seen as a future bypass of [[Sydney]]"''.<ref name=ULSC0708MP>http://upperlachlan.local-e.nsw.gov.au/files/5194/File/2007-2008ManagementPlan.pdf Upper Lachlan Shire Council 2007-2008 Management plan</ref>

At its northern end, the road passes through imposing plantations of radiata pine trees that supply the timber complex of Oberon.

It is now fully sealed, having undergone extensive work between 2002 and 2008. The final section of around 5km long, located between the [[Abercrombie River]] and the end of [[Wombeyan Caves Road]] was sealed in February 2008. In 2007 the [[Upper Lachlan Shire Council]] received a grant of $710,000 over 3 years from the [[New South Wales Government]] to cover one third of the cost of realigning and sealing that remaining section and will allocate $1,420,000 of council funds over those three years to complete the work.<ref name=ULSC0708MP /> With the support of Oberon Council the work was completed in the first year.<ref name=coopsinterests>Oberon Council</ref>.

In conjunction with [[O'Connell Road]] from Oberon to [[Bathurst, New South Wales|Bathurst]], this scenic route provides a leisurely and surprisingly direct route between Bathurst and Goulburn. The descent into the Abercrombie River Gorge from the North is particularly scenic.

The [[Wombeyan Caves Road]], leading through the [[Wombeyan Caves, New South Wales|Wombeyan Caves]] reserve and on to [[Mittagong, New South Wales|Mittagong]] starts at the locality of [[Richlands, New South Wales|Richlands]], around half way between Goulburn and Oberon. The Laggan-Taralga Road from [[Crookwell, New South Wales|Crookwell]] ends in the historic town of [[Taralga, New South Wales|Taralga]] a little further south. The Bannaby road to the locality of [[Bannaby, New South Wales|Bannaby]] also starts in Taralga.

'''Carleton Stevens Coon''', ([[23 June]] [[1904]] – [[3 June]] [[1981]]) was a [[United States|American]] [[biological anthropology|physical anthropologist]], Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, and lecturer and professor at [[Harvard]]. Coon is noted for books on [[Race (classification of human beings)|race]].

==Biography==
Carleton Coon was born in [[Wakefield, Massachusetts]]. He developed an interest in prehistory, and attended [[Phillips Academy|Phillips Academy, Andover]] where he studied [[Egyptian hieroglyphs|hieroglyph]]ics and became proficient in ancient [[Greek language|Greek]]. Coon transfered to [[Harvard]], where he studied [[Egyptology]] with [[George Reisner]]. He was attracted to the relatively new field of [[anthropology]] by [[Earnest Hooton]] and he graduated ''magna cum laude'' in 1925. He became the Curator of Ethnology at the University Museum of Philadelphia.<ref>Coon, Carleton S. (1962). The Origins of Races. New York: Alfred A. Knopf.</ref> Coon continued with coursework at Harvard. He conducted fieldwork in the [[Rif]] area of [[Morocco]] in 1925, which was politically unsettled after a rebellion of the local populace against the Spanish. He earned his Ph.D. in 1928<ref>The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2005.</ref> and returned to Harvard as a lecturer and later a professor. Coon's interest was in attempting to use [[Charles Darwin|Darwin]]'s theory of [[natural selection]] to explain the differing physical characteristics of races. Coon studied [[Albania]]ns from 1929-1930; he traveled to [[Ethiopia]] in 1933; and in [[Arabia]], [[North Africa]] and the [[Balkans]], he worked on sites from 1925 to 1939, where he discovered a Neanderthal in 1939. Coon rewrote [[William Z. Ripley]]'s 1899 ''[[The Races of Europe]]'' in 1939.

Coon wrote widely for a general audience like his mentor [[Earnest Hooton]]. Coon published the novels ''The Riffians'', ''Flesh of the Wild Ox'', ''Measuring Ethiopia'', and ''A North Africa Story: The Anthropologist as OSS Agent''. The North Africa Story was an account of his work in North Africa during [[World War II]], which involved [[espionage]] and the smuggling of arms to French resistance groups in German-occupied [[Morocco]] under the guise of anthropological fieldwork. During that time, Coon was affiliated with the United States [[Office of Strategic Services]], the forerunner to the [[Central Intelligence Agency]].

Coon left Harvard to take up a position as Professor of [[Anthropology]] at the [[University of Pennsylvania]] in 1948, which had an excellent museum. Throughout the 1950s he produced academic papers, as well as many popular books for the general reader, the most notable being ''The Story of Man'' (1954).

Coon did photography work for the United States Air Force from 1954-1957. He photographed areas where US planes might be attacked. This led him to travel throughout Korea, Ceylon, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Taiwan, Nepal, Sikkim, and the Philippines.

Coon published ''[[The Origin of Races]]'' in 1962, but it was not well received. The field of anthropology was moving rapidly from theories of racial typing to other trends. Coon continued to write and defend his work. He died on [[June 3]], [[1981]], in [[Gloucester, Massachusetts]].

==Racial theories==
Coon concluded that sometimes different racial types annihilated other types while in other cases warfare and/or settlement led to the partial displacement of racial types. He asserted that Europe was the refined product of a long history of racial progression. He stated that historically "different strains in one population have showed differential survival values and often one has reemerged at the expense of others (in Europeans)", in ''The Races of Europe, The White Race and the New World'' (1939).<ref name=racesofeurope>[http://www.snpa.nordish.net/racesofeurope.htm The Races of Europe by Carleton Coon 1939] (Hosted by the Society for Nordish Physical Anthropology)</ref> He stated the "maximum survival" of the European racial type was increased by the replacement of the indigenous peoples of the New World.<ref name=racesofeurope/> He stated the history of the White race to have involved "racial survivals" of White subraces.<ref> [http://www.snpa.nordish.net/chapter-II12.htm The Races of Europe, Chapter II, Section 12]</ref>

===Study of the Caucasoid race===
[[Image:Light Eyes Map .png|thumb|400px|right|Pigmentation Hair and Eyes in Europe according to the book "'''The Races of Europe'''".]]

In his book ''The Races of Europe, The White Race and the New World'' (1939), Coon used the term "Caucasoid" and "White race" synonymously, as had become common in the United States (although not elsewhere). This is in contrast to many uses of the term "White race" that exclude Arabs and those from the Indian subcontinent. Typically Coon would include most people from the Middle East and South Asia within the "Caucasoid" and "White" definitions which he used interchangeably. In his introduction, he stated his interest was "the somatic character of peoples belonging to the white race". His first chapter was entitled, "Introduction to the Historical Study of the White Race", and his last chapter, "The White Race and the New World".<ref>[http://www.snpa.nordish.net/chapter-XIII2.htm The Races of Europe, Chapter XIII, Section 2]</ref>

He considered the European racial type to be a sub-race of the Caucasoid race, one which warranted more study. In other sections of ''The Races of Europe'', he mentioned people to be "European in racial type" and having a "European racial element."<ref>[http://www.snpa.nordish.net/chapter-VII2.htm The Races of Europe, Chapter 7, Section 2]</ref> Coon suggested that the study of some major versions of European racial types was sadly lacking compared with other types, writing, "For many years physical anthropologists have found it more amusing to travel to distant lands and to measure small remnants of little known or romantic peoples than to tackle the drudgery of a systematic study of their own compatriots. For that reason the sections in the present book which deal with the [[Lapps]], the [[Arab]]s, the [[Berbers]], the [[Tajiks]], and the [[Gheg Albanian|Ghegs]] may appear more fully and more lucidly treated than those which deal with the French, the Hungarians, the Czechs, or the English. What is needed more than anything else in this respect is a thoroughgoing study of the inhabitants of the principal and most powerful nations of Europe."<ref name=racesofeurope/>

'''Summary of ''The Races of Europe''<ref name=racesofeurope/>'''
<br>Coon's 1939 book concluded the following:

#The Caucasian race is of dual origin consisting of Upper Paleolithic (mixture of sapiens and neandertals) types and Mediterranean (purely sapiens) types.
#The Upper Paleolithic peoples are the truly indigenous peoples of Europe.
#Mediterraneans invaded Europe in large numbers during the Neolithic period and settled there.
#The racial situation in Europe today may be explained as a mixture of Upper Paleolithic survivors and Mediterraneans.
#When reduced Upper Paleolithic survivors and Mediterraneans mix, then occurs the process of [[dinaric race|dinarization]] which produces a hybrid with non-intermediate features.
#The Caucasian race encompasses the regions of [[Europe]], [[Central Asia]], [[South Asia]], the [[Middle East]], [[North Africa]], and [[Horn of Africa|Northeast Africa]].
#The Nordic race is part of the Mediterranean racial stock, being a mixture of Corded and Danubian Mediterraneans.

===Mediterranean Race===

According to Carleton Coon the "homeland and cradle" of the [[Mediterranean race]] is in the [[Middle East]], in the area from [[Morocco]] to [[Afghanistan]]<ref name="coon">"Our area, from Morocco to Afghanistan, is the homeland and cradle of the Mediterranean race. Mediterraneans are found also in Spain, Portugal, most of Italy, Greece and the Mediterranean islands, and in all these places, as in the Middle East, they form the major genetic element in the local populations. In a dark-skinned and finer-boned form they are also found as the major population element in Pakistan and northern India ... The Mediterranean race, then, is indigenous to, and the principal element in, the Middle East, and the greatest concentration of a highly evolved Mediterranean type falls among two of the most ancient Semitic-speaking peoples, notably the Arabs and the Jews. (Although it may please neither party, this is the truth.) The Mediterraneans occupy the center of the stage; their areas of greatest concentration are precisely those where civilization is the oldest. This is to be expected, since it was they who produced it and it, in a sense, that produced them.",[[Carleton Coon]], ''the Story of the Middle East'', 1958, pp. 154-157</ref>. Coon argued that smaller Mediterraneans traveled by land from the Mediterranean basin north into Europe in the [[Mesolithic]] era. Taller Mediterraneans (Atlanto-Mediterraneans) were Neolithic seafarers who sailed in reed-type boats and colonized the Mediterranean basin from a [[Near East]]ern origin. He argued that they also colonized the [[British Isles]] where their descendants may be seen today, characterized by dark brown hair, dark eyes and robust features. He stressed the central role of the Mediterraneans in his works, claiming "The Mediterraneans occupy the center of the stage; their areas of greatest concentration are precisely those where civilization is the oldest. This is to be expected, since it was they who produced it and it, in a sense, that produced them"<ref name="coon"/>.

===Multiregional model===
{{main|Multi-regional origin}}

Carleton Coon believed that each of the five races followed a separate evolutionary path for tens of thousands of years. He believed, "The earliest Homo sapiens known, as represented by several examples from Europe and Africa, was an ancestral long-headed white man of short stature and moderately great brain size." Further, he wrote, "The negro group probably evolved parallel to the white strain." (The Races of Europe, Chapter II) Coon hypothesized that modern [[human]]s, ''Homo sapiens'', arose five separate times in five separate places from ''[[Homo erectus]]'', "as each subspecies, living in its own territory, passed a critical threshold from a more brutal to a more ''sapient'' state".

In 1999 discovery of a possible hybrid ''Homo sapiens X neanderthalensis'' fossil child at the [[Abrigo do Lagar Velho]] rock-shelter site in Portugal made some anthropologists think there might be evidence for Coon's [[Multiregional hypothesis]]. Further review of the findings, however, did not silence those who disagreed. Conclusions were carried in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<ref>[http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/96/13/7117 Hominids and hybrids: The place of Neanderthals in human evolution], Vol. 96, Issue 13, 7117-7119, June 22, 1999</ref> Many scientists still believe based on sound evidence that Homo neanderthalensis did interbreed with Homo sapiens.

In his 1962 book, ''The Origin of Races'', Coon theorized that some races reached the [[Homo sapiens]] stage in evolution before others, resulting in the higher degree of civilization among some races.<ref>Coon, Carleton S. (1962) . The Origins of Races. New York: Alfred A. Knopf.</ref> He had continued his theory of five races. He considered both what he called the Mongoloid race and the Caucasoid race had individuals who had adapted to crowding through evolution of the endocrine system, which made them more successful in the modern world of civilization. This can be found on pages 108-109 of The Origin of Races.
In his book Coon contrasted a picture of an [[Indigenous Australians|Australian Aborigine]] called "[[Uncle Tom's Cabin#Topsy|Topsy]]" with one of a Chinese professor. His caption "The Alpha and the Omega" was used to demonstrate his research that brain size was positively correlated with intelligence.
{{cquote|Wherever Homo arose, and Africa is at present the most likely continent, he soon dispersed, in a very primitive form, throughout the warm regions of the Old World....If Africa was the cradle of mankind, it was only an indifferent kindergarten. Europe and Asia were our principal schools.}}By this he meant that the Caucasoid and Mongoloid races had evolved more in their separate areas after they had left Africa, especially by admixture with Homo erectus.
{{Carleton S. Coon Racial Definitions}}

===Races in India===
In his 1962 book, Coon wrote that within the Caucasoid race there was a "third division [Mediterraneans which]... included... southern India," but remarked this group had "facial features of a Veddoid character which in some instances suggest Australoid affinities."<ref name=RacesEurope /> He said that in India there were "Veddoids... individuals who are to all extents and purposes Australoid." Regarding the exact racial composition of India, Coon noted, "[T]he racial history of southern Asia has not yet been thoroughly worked out, and it is too early to postulate what these relationships may be...[I] shall leave the problems of Indian physical anthropology in the competent hands of Guha and of Bowles."<ref name=RacesEurope>Coon, Carleton S. <u>The Races of Europe.</u> Greenwood:USA, 1972 ISBN 0837163285 p.2</ref>

==Criticism==
===Contemporary reception===
When Coon published his magnum opus ''[[The Origin of Races]]'' in 1962, the field of physical anthropology had changed markedly, and his book was not well received. Contemporary researchers such as [[Sherwood Washburn]] and [[Ashley Montagu]] were heavily influenced by the [[modern synthesis]] in biology and [[population genetics]]. In addition, they were influenced by [[Franz Boas]], who had moved away from typological racial thinking. Rather than supporting Coon's theories, they and other contemporary researchers viewed the human species as a continuous serial progression of populations.

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and changing social attitudes challenged racial theories like Coon's that had been used by segregationists to justify discrimination and depriving people of civil rights. In 1961 non-fiction writer [[Carleton Putnam]], who had founded an airline and was not an academic, had published ''Race and Reason: A Yankee View'', a popular theory of [[racial segregation]]. In a sign of rejection of such unscientific thinking, the [[American Association of Physical Anthropologists]] voted to censure Putnam's book. Carleton S. Coon, President of the association, resigned in protest of this violation of free speech.<ref>Academic American Encyclopedia (vol. 5, p.271). Danbury, Connecticut: Grolier Incorporated (1995).</ref>

===Posthumous reputation===
In 2001 the ''Journal of the History of Biology''<Ref>John P. Jackson, Jr., "[http://comm.colorado.edu/jjackson/research/coon.pdf 'In Ways Unacademical': The Reception of Carleton S. Coon's ''The Origin of Races,'']" ''Journal of the History of Biology'' 34 (2001): pp. 247–285. Retrieved 17 November 2006.</Ref> reviewed the controversy around the reception of Coon’s 1962 book, ''The Origin of Races''. In it Coon had theorized that the human species divided into five races before it had evolved into Homo sapiens. Further, he suggested that the races evolved into ''Homo sapiens'' at different times.

The article abstract concluded:
:''Segregationists in the [[United States]] used Coon’s work as proof that [[African Americans]] were “junior” to white Americans, and thus unfit for full participation in American society. The paper examines the interactions among Coon, segregationist [and Coon relative] [[Carleton Putnam]], geneticist [[Theodosius Dobzhansky]], and anthropologist [[Sherwood Washburn]]. The paper concludes that Coon actively aided the segregationist cause in violation of his own standards for scientific objectivity.''

Coon's ideas steadily faded from acceptance as new work superseded his own. New types of evidence brought forward in work by scientists such as [[Franz Boas]], [[Stephen Jay Gould]], [[Richard Lewontin]], [[Leonard Lieberman]] and others, de-emphasized and dismissed race as a valid concept with which to classify human biodiversity.<ref>[http://www.ssc.uwo.ca/psychology/faculty/rushtonpdfs/Lieberman2001CA.pdf How Caucasoids Got Such Big Crania and How They Shrank], by Leonard Lieberman</ref>

'''Big Bad Voodoo Daddy''' is a contemporary [[swing (genre)|swing]] band from southern [[California]]. Their notable singles include "Go Daddy-O", "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)", and "Mr. Pinstripe Suit". The band played the [[Super Bowl XXXIII]] half-time show in 1999.

==History==
The band was originally formed in Ventura, California in 1989 by leader [[Scotty Morris (musician)|Scotty Morris]]. He and [[Kurt Sodergren]] are the two "original" members, with the rest of the band joining later on. The band concentrated on the swing of the 1940s and [[1950s|'50s]], playing clubs and lounges in their early years.

The band launched two [[compact disc|CDs]], ''Big Bad Voodoo Daddy'' and ''Watchu' Want for Christmas?'' under their own [[record label|label]] (Big Bad Records) before getting their big break when their songs "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)" and "Go Daddy-O" were featured in the 1996 cult comedy ''[[Swingers (1996 film)|Swingers]]''.

From there they were signed by [[Capitol Records]]. With Capitol, the band released ''Americana Deluxe'', ''This Beautiful Life'', and ''Save My Soul''. The band has continued their tours, performances and album releases. The band had appeared at the 1999 [[Super Bowl]] half-time show and the 2006 [[Capital One Bowl]], and also served as the house band for ESPN's ESPY Awards for a few years.{{Fact|date=July 2008}} The band created a version of the opening theme for the sitcom ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'', which was used for the 1999-2000 season.{{Fact|date=June 2008}}

Over the last few years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has played on the Pops programs of American [[symphony orchestra]]s, including the San Francisco Symphony in July 2008.{{Fact|date=July 2008}}

On Friday, May 29, 2009, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will perform at [[Rhythm on the Vine]] for the Modern Swing Concert at Gainey Vineyard. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the [[Shriners Hospital for Children]]. <ref>Shriners Hospitals for Children, [http://www.rhythmonthevine.org/index.cfm/id/24/Modern-Swing/ "Modern Swing,"] Rhythm on the Vine, 2009.</ref> Tickets for the event start at $35 and can be purchased at www.rhythmonthevine.org.<ref>Shriners Hospital for Children, [http://www.rhythmonthevine.org/index.cfm/id/28/ "Grammy Award-Winning Musicians Sing for Charity,"] Rhythm on the Vine, 2009.</ref>

They created a new song for the movie ''[[The Wild]]''.

'''Galactic Cowboys''' was a [[heavy metal]] band based in [[Houston]], Texas. They combined progressive metal with a style of vocals influenced by [[The Beatles]] and the heavy playing style of thrash bands such as [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]]. They have been described as "possibly the most melodic metal band ever to exist in Christian or general markets."<ref name="Powell_Fe">{{cite book |last=Powell |first=Mark Allan |title=Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music |year=2002 |publisher=Hendrickson Publishers |location=[[Peabody, Massachusetts|Peabody]], [[Massachusetts]] |isbn=1-56563-679-1 |edition=First printing |chapter=Galactic Cowboys |pages=353-354}}</ref>

==History==
''Galactic Cowboys'' was formed in 1989 in [[Houston, Texas]] by bassist Monty Colvin and singer drummer Alan Doss, after being together in [[The Awful Truth (band)|The Awful Truth]]. After that band broke up, they added singer Ben Huggins and guitarist Dane Sonnier.

In [[1990]], the band was signed to [[Geffen Records|DGC]] and released their [[Galactic Cowboys (album)|eponymous debut album]] in [[1991]]. Despite some favorable criticism, the band was ignored by the label due to the success of [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]'s ''Nevermind'' during that same time. After poor sales and some touring, they returned to the studio and released ''[[Space In Your Face]]'' in [[1993]]. ''Space'' was the band's break into the general market.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/> The album garnered some minor hits for the band with "If I Were A Killer" and "I Do What I Do", both of which received regular airplay at [[MTV]] and the now-defunct radio station ZROCK respectively. At this point, the band was dropped from DGC, parted ways with manager Sam Taylor, and guitarist Dane Sonnier left the band.

After briefly breaking up, the band reorganized with Wally Farkas on guitars and a new deal with [[Metal Blade Records]], and released their third album, ''[[Machine Fish]]'', in [[1996]]. That same year they also released an [[EP]] titled ''[[Feel The Rage]]'' that included some original songs, two covers and two live tracks. In [[1997]], they followed with ''[[The Horse That Bud Bought]]'' which was a minor departure into a toned-down style.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/>

At this point, the band recorded what many fans regard as their masterpiece, ''[[At The End Of The Day]]'' in [[1998]]. This album marked a return to the heavier style featured in previous releases.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/> However, two weeks before the album's release Alan Doss decided to leave the band. Erick Tatuaka was hired to fill in for Doss during their subsequent tour, but was not a member of the band.

In [[2000]] the band announced the release of their last album titled ''[[Let It Go (Galactic Cowboys Album)|Let It Go]]''. The album included lead vocal contributions from all members. Most of the drumming duties were handled by Jerry Gaskill ([[King's X]]), a good friend of the band.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/>

[[As of 2007]], the former members of the band continue to be active in the music scene.

==Members==
===Monty Colvin===

The bassist and backing vocalist for Galactic Cowboys from 1991 until 2000, Monty Colvin embarked on a solo career in 2000 with his band project [[Crunchy]]. The first album, [[All Day Sucker]], released in 2001, defined the Crunchy sound as fun, pop punk with a slight heavy guitar edge. On Crunchy's 2nd album, [[Clown School Dropout]], the band was stripped down to Monty playing most of the instruments and bringing in a hired drummer; here Monty added a bit more crunch to the formula. Band influences include the [[Wildhearts]], [[Cheap Trick]], [[Foo Fighters]], and the [[Ramones]], in addition to the aforementioned Galactic Cowboys.
A new Crunchy album is in the works, entitled [[Loserville]]. It is due to be released in 2007. Monty is also a cousin of the now deceased [[Dee Dee Ramone]] (Douglas Glenn Colvin), ex of the Ramones. Monty's bass also provides a distinct sound which is much evident in Galactic Cowboys' sound.

===Alan Doss===

Since dropping out of the music business for awhile, Alan has since involved himself with managing and producing. Most recently, he has served in that capacity for the bands Ashbury Keys and Jambi's Revenge, also contributing instrumental work (notably on keyboards) to the outputs of those bands.

===Ben Huggins===

Ben's musical activities of late have included recording and playing with his new band Gristle, in addition to guest appearances with artists such as The Phlegmatics. A Gristle album is expected to be released in 2007.

===Wally Farkas===

Wally has worked as a distributor for hip hop artists in the Houston area. He teamed with Ty Tabor of [[King's X]] to release an ambient album under the name Xenuphobe in 2006. Recently, he established a new record label for a handful of artists with which he has had prior connections.

===Dane Sonnier===

Since leaving Galactic Cowboys, Dane has kept involved in the music world, most notably in The Sonnier Brothers Band, the band he formed with his brother Len.

==Trivia==
*Before forming Galactic Cowboys, bassist Monty Colvin and drummer Alan Doss were in the band [[The Awful Truth (band)|The Awful Truth]], along with David Von Ohlerking. They only released [[The Awful Truth (album)|one album]].
*The band have toured with many famous metal and hard rock acts such as [[Dream Theater]], [[Overkill (band)|Overkill]], [[Anthrax]], and [[King's X]].
* The band appeared in the 1994 movie [[Airheads]], under the name 'Sons of Thunder'.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/> The one original song they performed for that movie, "Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful", is not available anywhere, and only is heard for about 10 seconds in the movie.
* Galactic Cowboys have made videos for the songs: “I'm Not Amused”, “If I Were a Killer”, “Fear Not”, “Feel The Rage”, “Evil Twin” and “Nothing To Say”.
* Galactic Cowboys have recorded cover versions of songs by [[KISS (band)|KISS]], [[Petra (band)|Petra]] and [[Wings (band)|Wings]].
* Monty Colvin and DeeDee Ramone are cousins.

'''Cacophony''' is an [[United States|American]] [[neoclassical metal|neoclassical]] [[speed metal]]/[[shred metal|shred]] band formed in 1986 by [[guitarist]]s [[Marty Friedman (guitarist)|Marty Friedman]] and [[Jason Becker]]. Cacophony is often recognized for its technically challenging, [[neo-classical metal]] elements, as well as featuring two [[shred guitar]]ists. The band broke up in 1989, with Friedman joining the successful [[thrash metal]] band [[Megadeth]] and Becker joining [[David Lee Roth]]'s solo band.

== History ==
Their first album, the predominantly instrumental ''[[Speed Metal Symphony]]'', fused [[European classical music|classical]] and [[hard rock]] styles with Friedman's preference towards exotic scales (especially obvious in the song "The Ninja"). It featured exceptionally fast, melodic and technical music that could only be equaled by other virtuosos such as [[Yngwie Malmsteen]]. It has been heralded as one of the most awe-inspiring instrumental guitar albums of all time.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} The title track, "Speed Metal Symphony", was an incredible combination of amazing lead solos and fast rhythm guitar.

Their second album ''[[Go Off!]]'' was a commercial failure.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} Besides [[Jason Becker|Becker]], [[Marty Friedman (guitarist)|Friedman]] and [[Peter Marrino|Marrino]], it featured a new bassist and a new drummer. The drums were played by [[Deen Castronovo]], however the picture of new drummer [[Kenny Stavropoulos]] was included on the back cover. ''Go Off!'' featured a more song oriented approach, valuing songwriting as much as display of skill. The guitar playing is more technical and the harmonization of the lead lines and solos resulted in interesting double harmonies that wildly differed from the common "[[Iron Maiden]] harmony style".

== Breakup ==
Though the second album was a commercial failure, it spawned cult followings around the band. Cacophony broke up with Jason Becker joining [[David Lee Roth]] and Marty Friedman joining [[Megadeth]]. Friedman and Becker have since left Megadeth and David Lee Roth's band respectively (in Becker's case due to [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]]). Both released several solo albums that include a wide variety of music. Jason Becker's album ''[[Perpetual Burn]]'' is considered one of the greatest neo-classical shred albums of all time.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

'''Galactic Cowboys''' was a [[heavy metal]] band based in [[Houston]], Texas. They combined progressive metal with a style of vocals influenced by [[The Beatles]] and the heavy playing style of thrash bands such as [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]]. They have been described as "possibly the most melodic metal band ever to exist in Christian or general markets."<ref name="Powell_Fe">{{cite book |last=Powell |first=Mark Allan |title=Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music |year=2002 |publisher=Hendrickson Publishers |location=[[Peabody, Massachusetts|Peabody]], [[Massachusetts]] |isbn=1-56563-679-1 |edition=First printing |chapter=Galactic Cowboys |pages=353-354}}</ref>

==History==
''Galactic Cowboys'' was formed in 1989 in [[Houston, Texas]] by bassist Monty Colvin and singer drummer Alan Doss, after being together in [[The Awful Truth (band)|The Awful Truth]]. After that band broke up, they added singer Ben Huggins and guitarist Dane Sonnier.

In [[1990]], the band was signed to [[Geffen Records|DGC]] and released their [[Galactic Cowboys (album)|eponymous debut album]] in [[1991]]. Despite some favorable criticism, the band was ignored by the label due to the success of [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]'s ''Nevermind'' during that same time. After poor sales and some touring, they returned to the studio and released ''[[Space In Your Face]]'' in [[1993]]. ''Space'' was the band's break into the general market.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/> The album garnered some minor hits for the band with "If I Were A Killer" and "I Do What I Do", both of which received regular airplay at [[MTV]] and the now-defunct radio station ZROCK respectively. At this point, the band was dropped from DGC, parted ways with manager [[Sam Taylor]], and guitarist Dane Sonnier left the band.

After briefly breaking up, the band reorganized with Wally Farkas on guitars and a new deal with [[Metal Blade Records]], and released their third album, ''[[Machine Fish]]'', in [[1996]]. That same year they also released an [[EP]] titled ''[[Feel The Rage]]'' that included some original songs, two covers and two live tracks. In [[1997]], they followed with ''[[The Horse That Bud Bought]]'' which was a minor departure into a toned-down style.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/>

At this point, the band recorded what many fans regard as their masterpiece, ''[[At The End Of The Day]]'' in [[1998]]. This album marked a return to the heavier style featured in previous releases.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/> However, two weeks before the album's release Alan Doss decided to leave the band. Erick Tatuaka was hired to fill in for Doss during their subsequent tour, but was not a member of the band.

In [[2000]] the band announced the release of their last album titled ''[[Let It Go (Galactic Cowboys Album)|Let It Go]]''. The album included lead vocal contributions from all members. Most of the drumming duties were handled by Jerry Gaskill ([[King's X]]), a good friend of the band.<ref name="Powell_Fe"/>

[[As of 2007]], the former members of the band continue to be active in the music scene.

==Members==
===Monty Colvin===

The bassist and backing vocalist for Galactic Cowboys from 1991 until 2000, Monty Colvin embarked on a solo career in 2000 with his band project [[Crunchy]]. The first album, [[All Day Sucker]], released in 2001, defined the Crunchy sound as fun, pop punk with a slight heavy guitar edge. On Crunchy's 2nd album, [[Clown School Dropout]], the band was stripped down to Monty playing most of the instruments and bringing in a hired drummer; here Monty added a bit more crunch to the formula. Band influences include the [[Wildhearts]], [[Cheap Trick]], [[Foo Fighters]], and the [[Ramones]], in addition to the aforementioned Galactic Cowboys.
A new Crunchy album is in the works, entitled [[Loserville]]. It is due to be released in 2007.

===Alan Doss===

Since dropping out of the music business for awhile, Alan has since involved himself with managing and producing. Most recently, he has served in that capacity for the bands Ashbury Keys and Jambi's Revenge, also contributing instrumental work (notably on keyboards) to the outputs of those bands.

Ben's musical activities of late have included recording and playing with his new band Gristle, in addition to guest appearances with artists such as The Phlegmatics. A Gristle album is expected to be released in 2007.

===Wally Farkas===

Wally has worked as a distributor for hip hop artists in the Houston area. He teamed with Ty Tabor of [[King's X]] to release an ambient album under the name Xenuphobe in 2006. Recently, he established a new record label for a handful of artists with which he has had prior connections.

===Dane Sonnier===

Since leaving Galactic Cowboys, Dane has kept involved in the music world, most notably in The Sonnier Brothers Band, the band he formed with his brother Len.

Heatseekers Charts

2006-12-31T20:53:26Z

DantheCowMan: /* Notable acts who have "graduated" from ''Top Heatseekers'' */ grrrr

'''Top Heatseekers''' is a weekly albums chart introduced by ''[[Billboard magazine]]'' in [[1993]] whose purpose is to highlight sales by new and developing musical recording artists. Albums appearing on ''Top Heatseekers'' may also concurrently appear on ''[[The Billboard 200]]''.

''Top Heatseekers'' contains fifty chart positions. Although the chart's policies have changed slightly over the years, its current rules for an album's eligibility to enter ''Top Heatseekers'' are as follows (per ''Billboard''):

<blockquote>"The best-selling albums by new and developing acts, defined as those who have never appeared in the top 100 of ''The Billboard 200''. If a Heatseekers title reaches that level, it and the act's subsequent albums are immediately ineligible to appear on the Heatseekers chart."</blockquote>

Note that there are many artists who bypassed ''Top Heatseekers'' altogether by having their initial chart entry debut on ''The Billboard 200'' at position 100 or above.

Christianity Today

DantheCowMan: recat

{{clean up}}

'''''Christianity Today''''' is an [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] [[Christian]] [[periodical]] based in [[Carol Stream, Illinois]]. It is the flagship publication of its parent company Christianity Today International. Readers can also keep abreast of related hot topics and features in ''Christianity Today'''s sister publications: ''Books and Culture,'' ''Ignite Your Faith'' (formerly ''Campus Life''), ''Christian [[history]],'' MOMSense (formerly ''Christian Parenting Today''), ''Leadership Journal'', ''Marriage Partnership,'' ''Men of Integrity,'' "Today's Christian Women," and a library of older archives in their CTlibrary.com website.

CTI also produces additional special content and resources, including: [[Bible]] Studies, Children's Ministry Resources, [[Music]] Reviews, Interviews & Features, [[Movie]] Reviews, Interviews & Features, content & encouragement for Christian Singles, training resources for Church Leaders, a library of Christian Images, Outreach & [[Evangelism]] training, a College Search Guide, a [[Seminary]] & Graduate School Search Guide, lessons and training for church Bible study Small Groups, an online Bible & Reference center, a special online channel to help build up your Faith In the Workplace, a site full of ways to help you work out your financial issues according to your faith worldview in their [[Money]] & [[Faith]] resources area, growing partnerships with International [[Ministries]], various text and audio [[Preaching]] Resources, and a [[Spiritual]] Help channel.

Begun in [[1956]] as a way to bring the evangelical Christian community together, the magazine was founded by the famous evangelist [[Billy Graham]]. Its first editor was [[Carl F. H. Henry]]. Notable contributors in its first two decades included contributions from F. F. Bruce, [[Edward John Carnell]], Frank Gaebelein, [[Walter Martin]], [[John Warwick Montgomery]], and Harold Lindsell. Lindsell succeeded Henry as editor and during his editorial administration much attention centred on debates about [[biblical inerrancy]]. Later editorial work came Kenneth Kantzer and Terry Muck. Notable current writers include author [[Philip Yancey]], [[Fuller Theological Seminary]]'s [[Richard Mouw]], [[Yale University]] law professor [[Stephen Carter]], and [[Prison Fellowship]]'s [[Charles W. Colson]].

The magazine's presence on the Internet began in October of 1994 when it became one of the top 10 content providers on all of AOL. Then, in 1996, their website was launched. It was originally named ''ChristianityOnline.com.'' Today it, and its 13 sister publications, which range from the popular ''Today's Christian Woman'' to the intellectual ''Books & Culture'', reach well over 2 million readers in its traditional paperbound form, and more than 10 million pageviews per month in their Internet form. All print magazine articles also appear online, which offers free access to well over 35,000 articles on their website, ''ChristianityToday.com.''

Founding editor Henry was an advocate for the labor movement, and in the past decade the magazine and its sister publications have run articles both promoting and criticizing the [[Intelligent Design]] movement. During presidential campaigns columns give coverage to both Republican and Democratic candidates, with emphasis on their moral and social justice agendas.

DantheCowMan: +WRCM

'''Columbia International University''' is a [[Christian]] university located in [[Columbia, South Carolina]].

Founded in 1923, Columbia International University is a private, coeducational, multi-denominational institution that features instruction in Bible, general education, ministry skills and professional preparation for men and women who desire to impact the world for Jesus Christ. The university is recognized for its emphasis upon spiritual formation, biblical authority and world evangelization.

The university was once known as [[Columbia Bible college]] or CBC but had its name changed in 1994 to facilitate the international mobility of graduates and more accurately reflect the educational and geographical scope of the institution.

Ironically, after the university was no longer known as '''CBC''', a local [[bar (establishment)| bar]], the ''Columbia Brewering Company'' began calling itself ''CBC''.

The school operates two [[contemporary Christian music]] radio stations - [[WMHK-FM]] in Columbia, and [[WRCM-FM]] in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]].

Wilkesboro (North Carolina)

2006-04-27T17:01:00Z

DantheCowMan: /* Trivia and History */ link Merlefest

'''Wilkesboro''' is a town located in [[Wilkes County, North Carolina]]. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 3,159. It is the [[county seat]] of [[Wilkes County, North Carolina|Wilkes County]]{{GR|6}}.

==Trivia and History==
Wilkesboro was the adopted home of [[Chang and Eng Bunker]], the famous Chinese American [[Siamese twins]] who were a popular attraction in the early years of the 19th century. Wilkesboro is also the home of Wilkes Community College, which hosts the annual [[Merlefest]] music festival. Merlefest, which is sponsored by the legendary guitar player Doc Watson, has grown into one of the largest bluegrass and folk music festivals in the United States.

Wilkesboro's largest industry is the Tyson Poultry food processing plant - it is one of the largest poultry plants east of the Mississippi River. The town also hosts a number of furniture and textile factories. Wilkesboro was founded in 1800 and quickly designated as the county seat. During the American Civil War many of the town's residents remained loyal to the Union, and the town and surrounding area were nicknamed "The Old United States" by pro-Confederate citizens. In March 1865 George Stoneman, a Union Cavalry General, led a cavalry raid through the town. Thomas Dula (Dooley), a Wilkes native and Confederate veteran, was arrested shortly after the war and charged with the murder of his fiancee, Laura Foster. He was kept in the county jail (now a museum), before being convicted and hanged for the murder. To this day many people believe that Dula was innocent of the crime, and his legend was popularized by the Kingston Trio, a folk music group, in the top-selling 1958 ballad "Hang Down Your Head, Tom Dooley". Dula's story was subsequently turned into a movie starring Michael Landon as Dula, and each summer the Wilkes Playmakers present a popular play based on the story.

Sandip Burman

2006-04-27T07:21:19Z

DantheCowMan: link Telluride Bluegrass Festival

'''Sandip Burman''' is a [[tabla]] player from [[India]]. A native of [[Durgapur]], India, is an accomplished tabla player. His love and dedication for tabla began at the age of six when Pandit Shyamal Bose of Calcutta, one of India's distinguished tabla maestros, accepted him as his disciple. Sandip's performances are marked with spontaneous innovation and tonal purity even when he is delivering complex rhythmic patterns at dazzling speeds. His initial trip to the United States was sponsored by the founder of [[Transcendental Meditation]] and Beatles guru [[Maharishi Mahesh Yogi]].

Sandip opened the Getty Museum in Los Angeles with George Harrison, has played with [[Ravi Shankar (musician)|Ravi Shankar]] and countless jazz greats, including [[Jack DeJohnette]], [[Al DiMeola]], [[Randy Brecker]], [[Howard Levy]], [[Paul McCandless]], [[Andy Narell]], [[Victor Wooten]], [[Bela Fleck]] and many others.

We just wanted to see if this was removed by somebody.

Always in search of new challenges, Sandip worked with Danny Elfman and contributed to the soundtrack of Tim Burton's film, ''Mars Attacks'', and an IBM commercial. Sandip has recorded with Dr. [[L. Subramaniam]] and is showcased on the album Global Fusion from Warner Brothers.
Sandip recently completed an all-star tour titled "East Meets Jazz" with Victor Bailey (Weather Report), Randy Brecker (Brecker Brothers), Howard Levy (Flecktones), Jerry Goodman (Mahavishnu Orchestra), and several others.

Currently, Sandip tours 170 days out of the year, with such dates as solo performances at the Kennedy Center (Washington D.C.), Street Scene (San Diego), First Night Providence (Rhode Island), House of Blues Chicago, Nelson Atkins Museum (Kansas City), Wolftrap (Washington, D.C.), Ravinia Festival (Chicago), Skirball Cultural Center (Los Angeles), [[Telluride Bluegrass Festival]] (Colorado), and the Sterngrove Festival (San Francisco). Often before the major evening concerts, Sandip uses that time to conduct music clinics at the local high schools and universities.

He has been a visiting faculty member at the Rotterdam Conservatory in Holland and has toured and taught in the United States, Europe, Mexico, North Africa, Israel, and Canada.

Galactic Cowboys

'''Galactic Cowboys''' were a heavy metal band based in Houston, Texas. Their highly original progressive metal combined the vocal harmonies of The Beatles and the crunching heaviness of thrash bands such as Anthrax.
==History==
Radio static, a cow mooed, a mirror broke and a flamenco guitar began to play. Thus began the debut album <b>Galactic Cowboys</b> on DGC (David Geffen Company) Records in 1991. It was widely praised by critics and music-lovers alike, and received a KKKKK rating from UK rock magazine Kerrang. It had, however, the highly unfortunate distinction of being released the very same week as the album that was to change the face of the music business in the 1990's. Due to the overwhelming response to Nirvana's <b>Nevermind</b> DGC paid little attention to the marketing and development of Galactic Cowboys. After poor first album sales and a little touring, the band went back in the studio. In 1993 they released the classic <b>Space In Your Face</b> and scored a minor hit with "If I Were A Killer", which received regular airplay on MTV. The first release, "I Do What I Do", received some regular rotation on the, now defunct, nation-wide rock radio station ZROCK. However, it was at this point that the band were dropped by DGC records and guitarist Dane Sonnier subsequently left the band.

This would have destroyed most bands, but Galactic Cowboys returned in 1996 with album number three <b>Machine Fish</b> on Metal Blade Records, along with new guitarist Wally Farkas. The album showed a band who were every bit as driven as when they started out. Not long after they released their EP, <b>Feel The Rage</b>. This release was comprised of the song of the same name off their <b>Machine Fish</b> album plus covers, live tracks and a new song. It was in 1997 that they released <b>The Horse That Bud Bought</b>, which was somewhat of a musical departure for the band. Here, they toned down the aggression somewhat, but the songwriting remained true to the high standard of previous releases.

In 1998 they released what is widely regarded to be the band's finest work <b>At The End Of The Day</b>. The album contained the "Machine Fish Suite", a series of songs woven together, telling the story of the band up to that point. Even before this album was released, it was decided that drummer Alan Doss would part ways with the band. Erick Tatuaka was hired to play drums for the ATEOTD tour, but was not a member of the band. In 2000 the band released <b>Let It Go</b>, which would be their last album. It remained on par with the rest of the band's releases, and had lead vocal contributions from all members of the band. The majority of the drumming duties was handled by the band's good friend Jerry Gaskill, of [[King's X]]. The final song, ''The Record Ends'', ends in a barrage of noise and musical mahem. A fitting end for the Cowboys, out with a bang.

Much of what has drawn fans to Galactic Cowboys through the years, has caused problems with record labels and radio stations alike. Where did they fit in? Their musical diversity and peculiar sense of humor made them a difficult band to place. With equal parts of metal, pop, punk, progressive rock, blues, and the kitchen sink, listeners are left to decide for themselves. But those who love bands that are musically refreshing and melodically inventive will continue to discover the wonder of Galactic Cowboys.

The former members of the band have been far from inactive as of late, and each has a continued involvement with music, whether it is on stage or in the studio.

==Band Members==
===Monty Colvin===
The bassist and backing vocalist for Galactic Cowboys from 1991 until 2000, Monty Colvin embarked on a solo career in 2000 with his band project [[Crunchy]]. The first album, ''All Day Sucker'', released in 2001, defined the Crunchy sound as fun, pop punk with a slight heavy guitar edge. On Crunchy's 2nd album, ''Clown School Dropout'', the band was stripped down to Monty playing most of the instruments and bringing in a hired drummer; here Monty added a bit more crunch to the formula. Band influnces include [[the Wildhearts]], [[Cheap Trick]], [[Foo Fighters]], and [[the Ramones]], in addition to the aforementioned [[Galactic Cowboys]].

==Early studio recordings, 1945-1956==

The 12" 33 r.p.m. long-playing [[vinyl record]] did not become common until the middle of the 1950s.

Generally, modern CD reissues reflect the track listing of the 12" LPs, and these are listed here. Years listed are the year(s) of recording, not the year of release. Most of this material was recorded for [[Prestige Records]] - for more details of the complicated history of the Prestige material, see the [http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/PrestigeEquivalents.aspx Prestige Equivalents] section of the [http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/ Miles Ahead database].

'''''The Inner Mounting Flame''''' ([[1971]]) is the [[Mahavishnu Orchestra]]'s first studio album. (See [[1971 in music]].)

This is the album that made [[John McLaughlin]] a semi-household name, a furious, high-energy, yet rigorously conceived meeting of virtuosos that, for all intents and purposes, defined the [[fusion]] of [[jazz]] and [[rock (music)|rock]] a year after [[Miles Davis]]'s ''[[Bitches Brew]]'' breakthrough. Aimed with absolute precision at young rock fans, this record was wildly popular in its day.

''The Inner Mounting Flame'' consists solely of original compositions by [[John McLaughlin (musician)|John McLaughlin]] and was also produced by him.

'''''If I Should Fall From Grace With God''''' is a [[1988 in music|1988 album]] by [[The Pogues]].
The album was a departure from previous Pogues albums, which had focused on an [[Irish Traditional Music|Irish folk]]/[[Punk rock|punk]] hybrid which had earned them both a reputation as music radicals and also as a commercial success. On ''If I Should Fall From Grace with God'' several more genres were added to this mixture, including [[Jazz]], [[Spanish folk music|Spanish folk]] and [[Middle Eastern folk music|Middle Eastern Folk]]. The adding of Spanish and Middle Eastern sounds was a sign of things to come; on later albums such as [[1990]]'s ''[[Hell's Ditch]]'' these would become the defining sound. However on this album it was very much Irish folk to the fore, especially on songs such as the title track, "Bottle of Smoke", "South Australia", "Lullaby of London" and "Sit Down By The Fire". These songs were more typical of the earlier Pogues albums, mostly fast and heavily textured.

Also prominent on the song were the [[ballad]]s, "Thousands are Sailing", "The Broad Majestic Shannon" and especially, the Christmas hit, a duet with [[Kirsty MacColl]], "[[Fairytale of New York (song)|Fairytale of New York]]". "Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six" showed a passionate and angry political side to their music, the first part being about the sorrow a person feels about the streets of [[Northern Ireland]], and the second half about the [[Birmingham Six]] and the [[Guildford Four]], two groups of people wrongly imprisoned for [[terrorism]] offences and held in gaol despite evidence showing they had not committed the crimes. The song also makes a passing reference to the [[Loughall Martyrs]] with the line "while over in Ireland eight more men lay dead, kicked down and shot in the back of the head".

'''''Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash''''' is a [[1985]] album by [[The Pogues]], their second. The title for the album is a quote attributed to [[Winston Churchill]] ("''Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.''")

The cover artwork is based on "[[The Raft of the Medusa]]", a painting by [[Théodore Géricault]], with the band members' faces replacing those of the men on the raft. [[Shane McGowan|Shane MacGowan]] claimed that the title was suggested by drummer [[Andrew Rankin]].

'''"My Humps"''' is the third [[single (music)|single]] from [[The Black Eyed Peas]]' fourth album ''[[Monkey Business (album)|Monkey Business]]''. Released in [[2005]], the single reached a position of #3 in the USA becoming The Black Eyed Peas' third Top 10 single on the U.S. mainstream radio charts. The single also reached #3 in the U.K. Top 40 making it their sixth Top 10 single. The song is most known as the most successful unsolicited single in history. It was not promoted as a single ("[[Don't Lie]]" was released in its place), but since radio programmers and consumers were not pleased with "Don't Lie", they began to play and download "My Humps" instead. As the song had not been officially promoted, it became labeled as a [[runaway hit]].

==Song information==
The song was co-written and produced by [[will.i.am]], and interpolates Sexual Harrasment's "I Need A Freak". In this sexual number, a woman (in this case, [[Stacy Ferguson|Fergie]]) uses her [[breasts]] and her [[buttocks]] as tools to get guys to spend money on her. The song refers to "humps", as in one's rear end, and "lumps", as in a woman's breasts.

The song has a similar structure and instruments from [[Kelis]]' song, "[[Milkshake (single)|Milkshake]]". Although it wasn't based on it, the song and "Milkshake" has similar topics and music.

==Music video==
Following the song's popularity, several videos were placed on [[file-sharing]] servers claiming to be the video for the song. These files were actually clips of [[pornography]]. The official music video for "My Humps" premiered on [[TRL]] and shows [[Stacy Ferguson|Fergie]] dancing with backup dancers as images of expensive items such as [[Louis Vuitton]] purses and jewelry appear on the screen. Apl.de.ap, Taboo and will.i.am sing about how much they spend on Fergie as she sings about her "lovely" body parts such as her "lumps" and "humps". There are also scenes where Fergie seductively moves in front of a car as a prop. This video shows more scenes and has more lyrics for Fergie than any other video the Black Eyed Peas have done. The video also contains Hootie and The Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker.

==History==
'''Galactic Cowboys''' were a heavy metal band based in Houston, Texas. Their highly original progressive metal combined the vocal harmonies of The Beatles and the crunching heaviness of thrash bands such as Anthrax. Their line-up primarily consisted of Ben Huggins, Monty Colvin, Alan Doss, and Dane Sonnier.

They released their debut album ''Galactic Cowboys'' on DGC (David Geffen Company) Records in 1991. It was widely praised by critics and music-lovers alike, and received a KKKKK rating from UK rock magazine Kerrang. In 1993 they released the classic ''Space In Your Face'' and scored a minor hit with "If I Were A Killer", which received regular airplay on MTV. However, it was at this point that the band were dropped by DGC records and guitarist Dane Sonnier subsequently left the band.

This would have destroyed most bands, but Galactic Cowboys returned in 1996 with album number three ''Machine Fish'' on Metal Blade Records , along with new guitarist Wally Farkas. The album showed a band who were every bit as driven as when they started out. Not long after they released their EP, ''Feel The Rage''. This release was comprised of the song of the same name off their ''Machine Fish'' album plus covers, live tracks and a new song. It was in 1997 that they released ''The Horse That Bud Bought''. Here, they toned down the aggression somewhat, but the songwriting remained true to the high standard of previous releases.

In 1998 they released what is widely regarded to be the band's finest work ''At The End Of The Day''. The album contained the "Machine Fish Suite", a series of songs woven together, telling the story of the band up to that point. Even before this album was released, it was decided that drummer Alan Doss would part ways with the band, to focus more on working in the studio. Eric Tatuaka joined the band on tour for drumming duties, but would be dropped soon after.In 2000 the band released ''Let It Go'', which would be their last album. It remained on par with the rest of the band's releases, and had lead vocal contributions from all members of the band, plus former drummer Alan Doss. However, the majority of the drumming duties was handled by the band's good friend Jerry Gaskill, of [[King's X]].

The former members of the band have been far from inactive as of late, and each has a continued involvement with music, whether it is on stage or in the studio.

Here, they toned down the aggression somewhat, but the songwriting remained true to the high standard of previous releases.

In 1998 they released what is widely regarded to be the band's finest work ''At The End Of The Day''. The album contained the "Machine Fish Suite", a series of songs woven together, telling the story of the band up to that point. Even before this album was released, it was decided that drummer Alan Doss would part ways with the band, to focus more on working in the studio. Eric Tatuaka joined the band on tour for drumming duties, but would be dropped soon after.In 2000 the band released ''Let It Go'', which would be their last album. It remained on par with the rest of the band's releases, and had lead vocal contributions from all members of the band, plus former drummer Alan Doss. However, the majority of the drumming duties was handled by the band's good friend Jerry Gaskill, of [[King's X]].

The former members of the band have been far from inactive as of late, and each has a continued involvement with music, whether it is on stage or in the studio.

==History==
'''Galactic Cowboys''' were a heavy metal band based in Houston, Texas. Their highly original progressive metal combined the vocal harmonies of The Beatles and the crunching heaviness of thrash bands such as Anthrax. Their line-up primarily consisted of Ben Huggins, Monty Colvin, Alan Doss, and Dane Sonnier.

They released their debut album ''Galactic Cowboys'' on DGC (David Geffen Company) Records in 1991. It was widely praised by critics and music-lovers alike, and received a KKKKK rating from UK rock magazine Kerrang. In 1993 they released the classic ''Space In Your Face'' and scored a minor hit with "If I Were A Killer", which received regular airplay on MTV. However, it was at this point that the band were dropped by DGC records and guitarist Dane Sonnier subsequently left the band.

This would have destroyed most bands, but Galactic Cowboys returned in 1996 with album number three ''Machine Fish'' on Metal Blade Records , along with new guitarist Wally Farkas. The album showed a band who were every bit as driven as when they started out. Not long after they released their EP, ''Feel The Rage''.
