TDSB football

Is there a cool website other than TDSB website that shows which high schools plays football? So far, I know that York Memorial and East York play football. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.35.184 (talk) 02:34, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For greater clarity, TDSB in this context would be the Toronto District School Board, in Canada. --Anonymous, 03:43 UTC, November 6, 2010.

This looks to be it. According to the site, there were five new teams in 2009. Grsz¹¹ 03:46, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MLB retro jerseys and hats

is there a website that displays the retro jerseys of current teams of MLB? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.17.158 (talk) 02:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean modern items that look like old ones and can be purchased? Or do you mean the actual uniforms worn long ago? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:51, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to check out this part of the National Baseball Hall of Fame website: [1] --Xuxl (talk) 15:36, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NBA retro jerseys

is there a website where it displays the retro jerseys of current NBA teams? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.17.158 (talk) 03:00, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Searching for "historic NBA jerseys" got me this link which looks good judging by the couple of uniforms that I looked at. Dismas|^(talk) 05:24, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy on Hawaii 5-0

The new Steve McGarrett refers to his father as John & we se4e his grave marker as John. The original show had the lead (Jack Lord) as Steve McGarrett. Why the discrepancy?173.54.202.152 (talk) 05:40, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From Hawaii Five-0: Several days later, Alex O'Loughlin was cast as Steve McGarrett, the son of ex-cop Jack McGarrett (portrayed by William Sadler) after the producers decided to reboot the series and make the junior McGarrett a Navy SEAL and chose to name Steve's father Jack in honor of Jack Lord, the star of the original series.

(Aside: I can't believe they expect people generally to differentiate between Hawaii Five-0 and Hawaii Five-O, given that the number 0 (zero) is mostly called "oh" as if it were a letter anyway. Will anyone call the new show "Hawaii 5-zero"? I forecast some head scratching going on.) -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 05:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter what people say -- it will sort differently. Maybe that's why. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 20:10, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What I mean is that people will hear about the new show and assume it's a recreation of the old show under exactly the same name. But it's not exactly the same name. Yet the difference is one that is sure to trip up many and completely elude many others. The original "5-O" was a reference to Hawaii being the US's 50th state; it should properly have been 5-0 (zero), but they made it 5-O (oh) in their wisdom, probably because people were going to say "five oh" anyway. Which they did. Now, people will see 5-0 (zero) and still say "five oh", and will spell the new show's title as 5-O, just like the original show. The makers are just asking for trouble. 0 my (er, O my)! -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 22:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Title(s) of the show

I've only seen a little bit of either version of the show, so now I have a question regarding Jack's remarks above and Wikipedia's article titles. On either version of the show, how do you know whether that character in the title is meant to be an O or a 0? Even if the characters use the title phrase and explain what it refers to, the title need not conform to their usage. (Consider Doctor Who, where the main character is "the Doctor", never "Dr. Who". I think that the title comes from someone's response in the very first episode when they hear him called "the Doctor".) And in some typefaces the characters O and 0 are identical. Do both versions of this show have credits in the same font that include both O and 0, enabling us to know which one is used in the title? Or is someone just relying on an external source that says that they are different? --Anonymous, 04:24 UTC, November 7, 2010.

The justification for naming the article about the new show with a zero - as linked from the talk page - is rather flimsy, IMHO. Even if the one sentence press release is reliable, unless there's a similar release for the old show, or even one that's considerable more verbose, I'm not sure it's enough to hang an article on. --LarryMac | Talk 23:27, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Depending on how the ratings go, it could end up being "Hawaii 86". ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I looked in the article but it didn't occur to me that this would only be addressed on the talk page. --Anonymous, 09:35 UTC, November 9, 2010.

NHL points system history

Did winner of the game always get 2 points (and loser 1 if lose after 3 periods) in NHL history?-88.112.115.158 (talk) 10:57, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It used to be 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. The awarding of 1 point for an overtime loss began with the 1999–2000 NHL season. And only since the adoption of the shootout in the 2005–06 NHL season has the possibility of ties been eliminated. Deor (talk) 12:51, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regrettably, I might add. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 14:58, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like they are essentially regarding an overtime game as a tie (1 point) with a "bonus point" if you win the overtime. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:01, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics conflict? Ramsey Lewis Trio!

I found a song from Ramsey Lewis Trio that i find to be amazing, so i tried to look up the lyrics (partly because for me the instruments are more dominant and so its hard for me to hear exactly what they are saying). When i looked up the song i matched it to the album and several different sites gave different lyrics, and none of them are the lyrics in my song. Why is this, and what are the words i am hearing?

The song is "Open my heart" from the album "Time Flies". I suspect that maybe i have a version where the lyrics aren't sung, but that its mostly an instrumental with some back up vocals.

The lyrics i am hearing, i will try to capture them as well as possible, are as follows:

???
???
I open up my heart!
oooooooooh! ????
.......

Don't let me make the same mistakes, over and over again!
???? be the one, to make SURE that its ??? (carried out?).....

I doubt this is too useful for identification, but if need be perhaps i can upload a clip to youtube? Let me know if this is needed.

Any info on what the lyrics are for my version are greatly appreciated, as well as the reason for why it seems to not be the same as the song i am finding lyrics for.

Thank you very much! 137.81.118.126 (talk) 21:49, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When I play a short sample, I hear "ask you for your guidance", and Yahoo has lyrics with both that phrase and your "Don't let me make ...". Clarityfiend (talk) 22:07, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your response is helpful, actually on that yahoo page you can click the play button and it plays the exact song i have. They seem to only sing little parts of the lyrics that are written there. Im still not sure why, but at least now i know alot of the words that were question marks in my original post. "Guide me until i'm sure" etc. I'd still like to see a further explanation of this if anyone has one? Is this intended to be an instrumental? That being said, I'm also going to look on youtube now and see if i can find the lyrics version yahoo has written (again not sure why their audio doesnt match, LOL)

137.81.118.126 (talk) 22:29, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Im not sure why, but there is nothing on google or youtube matching the lyrics of this song... and in fact i cant find any video for the song at all! very confusing! 137.81.118.126 (talk) 22:34, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
