'''Joseph Hahn''', often referred to as '''Mr. Hahn''', (born [[March 15]], [[1977]] in [[Glendale, California]]) is a [[Turntablism|turntablist]] and [[film director|director]] of [[Koreans|Korean]] descent best known as the DJ for the [[United States|American]] [[band (music)|band]] [[Linkin Park]].

==Linkin Park==
Joe joined [[Linkin Park]], after meeting fellow band mate [[Mike Shinoda]] in art school, when the band was called [[Xero (U.S. band)|Xero]] in 1996 as the band's turntablist. Since then, he has directed [[music video]]s for most [[single (music)|singles]] of his band, with the exceptions of "[[One Step Closer (Linkin Park song)|One Step Closer]]", "[[Crawling (song)|Crawling]]", "[[Faint (song)|Faint]]" and "[[Given Up]]". He is referenced to as Mr. Hahn at the beginning of "Cure for the Itch" from ''[[Hybrid Theory]]'' as well as in "And One" from ''Hybrid Theory EP'' and "Kyur4 TH Ich" from ''Reanimation''. He has also remixed their song "With You" (originally on "[[Hybrid Theory]]"), which appears on the remix album ''[[Reanimation]]'' as "Wth>You".

On the new album ''[[Minutes to Midnight (album)|Minutes to Midnight]]'', Joe Hahn focused his contributions on programming with his sound effects board and [[MIDI keyboard]]. Minutes To Midnight also features his turntable talents on three tracks: "[[What I've Done]]", "Valentine's Day", and "In Pieces."
Joe has been known to utilize MIDI pads on several tracks from the band. Examples include "[[Crawling (song)|Crawling]]", "[[Numb (Linkin Park song)|Numb]]", and "By Myself".

==Other projects==
Joe was featured on the [[Fort Minor]] songs "Slip Out the Back" and "Move On" (a [[Fort Minor Militia]] exclusive), tracks produced and sung by his Linkin Park bandmate Mike Shinoda. In both tracks, Hahn does some scratching in the outro. He also remixed the song "Where'd You Go" and is named "Where'd You Joe". He was also featured as a turntablist in the track "[[It's Goin' Down (X-Ecutioners song)|It's Goin' Down]]" by the [[The X-Ecutioners]], once again alongside Shinoda. Hahn and his Linkin Park bandmates also made an appearance in the song's music video.

A proficient music video director, Joe has directed videos not only for his band [[Linkin Park]], but he has also directed videos for [[Static-X]], [[Story of the Year]], [[Xzibit]], [[X-Ecutioners]] and [[Alkaline Trio]]. Hahn has also done some special effects for the TV show [[The X-Files]].

In 2005 to 2006, while bandmates [[Chester Bennington]] and [[Mike Shinoda]] were busy with [[side project]]s, Hahn shot a short film called ''The Seed'' in [[Los Angeles, California]], released in March 2008 and premiered at the [[Pusan International Film Festival]]. Hahn also appeared with a minor role in a short film by Filip Engström called ''Little Pony''. In 2005, Hahn opened a retail concept store and brand Suru, located on the famous [[Melrose Avenue]] in Los Angeles.

==Personal life==
Hahn attended the accredited [[Art Center College of Design]] in Pasadena, California, but didn't graduate in order to put his efforts into the band. He married Karen Benedit in [[February 2005]] after dating her since 2003. Joe is known for his dry sense of humor and wit in most interviews. Joe is also a Transformers fan - on various occasions he has worn clothing or used turntables with [[Decepticon]] symbols on them. He was also the one to advise the band to put the single "[[What I've Done]]" on the soundtrack for the [[Transformers (film)|Transformers live action movie]]. Joe, along with Rob and Chester, were present at the Transformers movie premiere.

Ulster Folk and Transport Museum

2007-12-07T10:26:14Z

The '''Ulster Folk and Transport Museum''' ([[Irish language|Irish]]: ''Músaem Daonchultúir agus Iompair Uladh'') is situated in [[Cultra]], [[Northern Ireland]], about 10 kilometres (6 miles) east of the city of [[Belfast]]. It comprises two museums, the Folk Museum and the Transport Museum, and endeavours to illustrate the way of life and traditions of the people in Northern Ireland, past and present. The museum ranks among [[Ireland]]'s foremost visitor attractions and is a former Irish Museum of the Year.

== History ==
Created by an [[act of parliament]] in [[1958]], the Folk Museum was created to preserve a rural way of life in danger of disappearing forever due to increasing urbanisation and industrialisation in [[Northern Ireland]]. The site the museum occupies was formally the Estate of Sir Robert Kennedy, and was acquired in [[1961]], with the museum opening to the public for the first time three years later in [[1964]]. In [[1967]], the Folk Museum merged with the Belfast Transport Museum, to form the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum. The museum's Rail and Road Galleries were opened in [[1993]] to much acclaim, and subsequently expanded in [[1996]].

==The Folk Museum==
[[Image:UFTM Buildings.jpg|thumb|190px|Traditional Irish buildings at the museum]]
The Folk Museum houses a variety of old buildings and dwellings which have been collected from various parts of Ireland and rebuilt in the grounds of the museum, brick by brick. 60 acres are devoted to illustrating the rural way of life in the early [[1900s]], and visitors can stroll through a recreation of the period's countryside complete with [[farms]], [[cottages]], [[Crop (agriculture)|crops]], [[livestock]], and visit a typical [[Ulster]] town of the time called "Ballycultra", featuring shops, churches, and both terraced and larger housing. Regular activities include open hearth cooking, [[printing]], [[needlework]], and traditional Irish crafts demonstrations. The museum is currently undergoing expansion, with the addition of a picture house, hardware shop, drapers, chemists, weaving shed and a period tea room. This is being partly funded by [[National Lottery|Heritage Lottery]] and [http://www.seupb.org/prog.htm Peace II] grants, and was expected to be complete in [[2007]].

Indoors, the Folk Galleries feature a number of temporary exhibitions including ''They Love Music Mightily'', an exhibition featuring contemporary recordings of [[Music of Ireland|Irish traditional music]], and ''Meet the [[Victorian era|Victorian]]s'', a lively and colourful exhibition on aspects of Victorian life.

The Museum is the holder of Northern Ireland's main film, photographic, television and sound archives. The Museum holds the [[BBC Northern Ireland]] archive of radio and television programmes, and also possesses over 2,000 hours of sound material broadcast between 1972 and 2002 by the [[Irish language]] radio station [[RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta]], from its studios in [[Derrybeg]], [[County Donegal]]. The museum also maintains an archive of Ulster [[dialect]]s, and a large library containing over 15,000 books and periodicals. The archives and library are open to the public during office hours.

==The Transport Museum==
[[Image:UFTM Train.jpg|thumb|190px|''Maedb'', a locomotive housed at the museum]]
The Transport Museum houses an extensive transport collection, and endeavours to tell the story of transport in Ireland, from its [[History of Ireland|early history]] to the [[Modern Times (history)|modern era]]. It is the largest railway collection in Ireland, and one of the largest transport collections in [[Europe]]. Attractions in the grounds themselves include a model railway operated by the Model Engineers Society of Northern Ireland, and the 120 ton steel schooner ''Result''.

The Irish Railway Collection tells the story of over 150 years of railway history. [[Steam locomotives]], passenger carriages and goods wagons are combined with extensive railway memorabilia, interactive displays and visitor facilities. These include an award-winning computer game and children's play area. One of the collection's main attractions is ''[[GSR Class B1a|Maedb]]'', one of the three largest and most powerful steam locomotives ever to be built and run in Ireland. Alongside the Irish Railway Collection are the new Road Transport Galleries which boast a large collection of thieves, vagabonds and vehicles ranging from cycles and motorcycles to trams, buses, and cars. One of its most famous attractions is a [[De Lorean DMC-12]] car, the model made famous by the ''[[Back to the Future trilogy]]'', and manufactured by the [[De Lorean Motor Company]] in Belfast.

The museum boasts a permanent [[RMS Titanic|Titanic]] exhibition, documenting the construction, voyage, and eventual sinking of the ill-fated vessel. The ship has long been associated with Northern Ireland, as it was constructed in the [[Harland and Wolff]] shipyards, just a few miles from the museum. A more recent exhibition at the Transport Museum is ''X2: Flight Experience'', developed in partnership with [[Bombardier]] Aerospace, owners of the Belfast-based aerospace company [[Short Brothers]]. The exhibition aims to enable young visitors to discover for themselves the principles of flight, explore the history of aviation, and understand the process of making a successful aircraft. Also on display at the museum is the Short's manufactured SC1, a prototype [[VTOL|vertical take-off]] aeroplane, only two of which were ever produced (the other crashed during testing, killing its pilot).

[[image:thornbury.castle.west.front.arp.750pix.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The west front of Thornbury Castle. The castle was begun in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, third Duke of Buckingham.]]

'''Thornbury Castle''' is a castle in [[Thornbury, South Gloucestershire]]. It was begun in 1511 as a home for [[Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham]], and is not a true castle designed to serve as a fortress, but rather an early example of a [[Tudor era|Tudor]] [[country house]], with minimal defensive attributes. It is now a grade I [[listed building]].

Only a part of the original plans for a very grand residence were carried out before the duke was beheaded on the orders of his distant cousin [[Henry VIII]] for alleged [[treason]] in [[1521]]. Following the Duke's demise the Castle was confiscated by King [[Henry VIII of England]], who stayed at the Castle for ten days in [[1535]] with his queen, [[Anne Boleyn]]. Following the [[English Civil War]] the castle fell into disrepair but was renovated in [[1824]] by the [[Howard Family]].

The castle is now a 26 room luxury hotel and restaurant, and a venue for weddings.

'''Bristol Castle''' was a [[Norman architecture|Norman]] castle built for the defence of [[Bristol]]. Remains can be seen in [[Castle Park, Bristol|Castle Park]], including the [[sally port]].

The first castle built at Bristol was a timber [[motte and bailey]], presumably erected on the command of [[William I of England|William the Conqueror]], who owned Bristol. One of William's closest allies, [[Geoffrey de Montbray]], Bishop of Coutances, appears to have had control of the castle. The ''Domesday Book'' notes that he received part of the king's income from the borough. The castle is first mentioned in [[1088]], when Geoffrey used it as a base in his rebellion against [[William II of England|William Rufus]].<ref>''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle''.</ref>

After William triumphed, the English lands of the rebels were redistributed to his loyal followers. Among them was [[Robert Fitzhamon]], who gained a large swathe of [[Gloucestershire]], including Bristol Castle. His eldest daughter Mabel married [[Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester|Robert]], illegitimate son of [[Henry I of England|Henry I]]. She brought him the honour of Gloucester on the death of her father in [[1107]].<ref>G.E.C[okayne], ''The Complete Peerage'', 2nd edn. ed. V. Gibbs (London 1910-59).</ref> So he is generally known as Robert of Gloucester.

By this time many of the first wave of Norman timber castles were being replaced in stone. Bristol Castle was a fine example with [[curtain walls]] and a great [[keep]]. It seems that Robert of Gloucester was the man responsible. The castle was built on a strategic site to the east of the town, between the [[River Avon, Bristol|River Avon]] and the [[River Frome, Bristol|River Frome]], which was partly diverted to form the castle moat.<ref>S. Watson, ''Secret underground Bristol'' (Bristol 1991) ISBN 0-907145-01-9</ref>

This great fortress was to play a key role in the civil wars that followed the death of Henry I.
Henry's only legitimate son [[William Adelin|William]] drowned in [[1120]], so Henry eventually declared his one legitimate daughter [[Empress Matilda|Matilda]] his heir. However her cousin, [[Stephen of England|Stephen of Blois]] usurped the throne on Henry's death in [[1135]]. Matilda's half-brother Robert of Gloucester became her trusted right-hand man - the commander of her troops. Rebels rallied to his castle at Bristol.

Stephen reconnoitred Bristol in [[1138]] but decided that the town was impregnable. As his chronicler reported: "On one side of it, where it is considered more exposed to siege and more accessible, a castle rising on a vast mound, strengthened by wall and battlements, towers and divers engines, prevents an enemy's approach." <ref>''Gesta Stephani'' ed. and trans. K.R. Potter (Oxford : Clarendon Press, 1976), pp. 37-8, 43-4.</ref> After Stephen was captured in [[1141]], he was imprisoned in Bristol Castle until Robert of Gloucester was also captured and an exchange of prisoners was made.<ref>William of Malmesbury, ''The Historia Novella'', trans. K. R. Potter (London : T. Nelson, 1955), p.50.</ref>

The castle was later taken into royal hands.<ref>''Accounts of the Constables of Bristol Castle in the Thirteenth and Early Fourteenth Centuries'' ed. Margaret Sharp (Bristol Record Society 1982), p. xviii.</ref> [[Henry III of England|Henry III]] spent lavishly on it, adding a barbican before the main west gate, a gate tower, and magnificent hall.<ref>H.M. Colvin, ''The History of the King's Works'', vol. 2 (1963), pp. 578-9.</ref>

The two young sons of [[Dafydd ap Gruffydd]], the last princes of the [[Kingdom of Gwynedd|Gwynedd]], were imprisoned for life in Bristol Castle after [[Edward I of England|Edward I]]'s conquest of [[Wales]] in [[1283]].

The first detailed description of the castle was written in 1480.<ref>William Worcestre, ''The Topography of Medieval Bristol'', Bristol Record Society vol. 51 (2000), nos. 396, 422.</ref>. By the time the antiquary John Leland visited ''c''.[[1540]], Bristol castle was showing signs of neglect. It had "two courts, and in the north-west part of the outer court there is a large keep with a dungeon, said to have been built of stone brought by the red Earl of Gloucester from Caen in Normandy. In the other court is an attractive church and many domestic quarters, with a great gate on the south side, a stone bridge and three ramparts on the left bank leading to the mouth of the Frome. Many towers still stand in both the courts, but they are all on the point of collapse."<ref>''John Leland's Itinerary: Travels in Tudor England'', ed. John Chandler (Sutton Publishing: Stroud, 1993), pp. 178-9.</ref>.
By the sixteenth century the castle had fallen into disuse, but the City authorities had no control over royal poperty and the precincts became a refuge for lawbreakers. In [[1630]] the city bought the castle and when the [[English Civil War|Civil War]] broke out the city took the Parliamentary side and partly restored the castle. However Royalist troops occupied Bristol and eventually [[Oliver Cromwell]] ordered the destruction of the castle.
[[Image:Bristolcastle.jpg|thumb|remains of the castle]]
The castle was demolished in 1656, according to Millerd's map of Bristol (above right). However one octagonal tower survived until it was torn down in 1927. It was sketched by Samuel Loxton in 1907. <ref>George Frederick Stone, ''Bristol As It Was And As It Is'' (Bristol 1909), p. 99.</ref> There are some remains of the banqueting hall incorporated in an existing building.

The castle moat was covered over in [[1847]] but still exists and is mainly navigable by boat, flowing under Castle Park and into the [[Bristol Harbour|Floating Harbour]]. The western section is a dry ditch and a sally port into the moat survives near St Peter's Church.

The area was redeveloped for commerce and largely destroyed in the '[[Bristol Blitz]]'. It was subsequently redeveloped as a public open space, Castle Park.

It is a [[Scheduled Ancient Monument]].<ref>{{cite web | title= Scheduled Ancient Monuments in Bristol | publisher=Bristol City Council | url=http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/cms-service/stream/asset/?asset_id=1157007 | format= PDF | accessdate=2007-05-07}}</ref>

Beckford’s Tower

2007-05-13T23:04:21Z

Guiltyspark: coords

[[Image:Beckfords_Tower.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Beckford's Tower, Bath]]
'''Beckford's Tower''' is an architectural [[folly]] built in neo-classical style and situated on [[Lansdown Hill]], just outside [[Bath, Somerset|Bath]], [[Somerset]], [[England]].

Standing 120-feet high, the tower was completed in 1827 for local resident [[William Thomas Beckford|William Beckford]] to a design by [[Henry Goodridge]]. Beckford used the tower as both a library and a retreat located at the end of pleasure gardens called ''Beckford's Ride'' that linked his house with the tower.

The most striking feature of the tower is the topmost gilded 'Belvedere', reached by a spiral staircase and offering excellent views over the surrounding country side. Today, the tower is both a museum and a holiday home available for rent through the [[Landmark Trust]], although it is owned by an independent trust.

A [[Victorian era]] [[cemetery]] now occupies part of what was once ''Beckford's Ride''.

Guiltyspark:

'''Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo''' is the 10th episode of [[Comedy Central]]'s [[South Park]] which originally aired on [[December 17]], [[1997]].

{{spoiler}}

==Synopsis==
In this [[Christmas]]-themed episode of South Park, the school children rehearse for their Christmas play. Kyle's mother, Sheila Brovloski, is angered by the play because Kyle, a jew, plays the role of [[Saint Joseph|Joseph]]. This triggers uproar in the town, and so it is decided that anything offensive to anyone would be removed from the Christmas celebrations. Meanwhile, Kyle is believed to be insane because of his friendship with [[Mr. Hankey]], a talking piece of poo.

==Quotes==
*Mr Garrison: "Oh god, you're not gonna lay that Hannukah crap on me are you?"
*Cartman: "I'm not fat, I'm festively plump!"

==Kenny's death==
Kenny comes close to death several times in this episode:
*He is asked to unplug the Christmas lights, which are plugged dangerously into a mains point, while the floor is flooded.
*He is asked to remove a decorative star from the stage, which is hung above a shark in a tank.
Kenny does not die as a result of either of these incidents. The fact that he has not died is joked about at the end of the episode, where Cartman says "Something feels... unfinished". However, when 'The End' appears on the screen, Kenny cheers.

*Mr Garrison: "Oh god, you're not gonna lay that Hannukah crap on me are you?"
*Cartman: "I'm not fat, I'm festively plump!"

==Kenny's Death==
Kenny comes close to death several times in this episode:
*He is asked to unplug the Christmas lights, which are plugged dangerously into a mains point, while the floor is flooded.
*He is asked to remove a decorative star from the stage, which is hung above a shark in a tank.
However, he does not die from either of these incidents. The fact that he has not died is joked about at the end of the episode, where Cartman says "Something feels... unfinished". However, when 'The End' appears on the screen, Kenny cheers.
