According to a page of SpongeBob SquarePants series creator Stephen Hillenburg's series bible - respective page shown here: http://cartoonician.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/cast.jpg - the main characters are apparently supposed to be SpongeBob (of course), Squidward, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Sandy, Pearl, and Plankton (if that is him). Am I correct? Are these the main characters of SpongeBob? Mattdillon87 ( talk) 03:55, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Some episodes of The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series) were shot on videotape instead of film. These look and sound very different. What makes them look so different? Lenses? Editing? What makes them sound so different? The videotape ones sound like they picked up a lot of ambient sound that the film episodes did not. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:44, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Isn't the difference that video tape is cheap, but subject to distortion and lacking dynamic range, while film can fade or be scratched, but doesn't stretch? μηδείς ( talk) 01:44, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
I am non able to fix the following problem concerning the subject page: > > looking at the page, the last line concerning the 2012 result appears empty; if you edit and save, correctly the line reports Mark Selby, Shaun Murphy and the 10- 6 result. But if you then leave the page and go back to it, again the last line appears empty! and so on and on. > > Can you please fix it? > > Many thanks and regards.

From what I gather, "coaching from the sideline" is prohibited in most top-level ATP and WTA tournaments (such as grand slams. That doesn't men it doesn't happen, obviously - apparently, secret signals from coaches to players are all too common. I gather the player can be penalized if they are being illegally coached.
My question is: Does the chair umpire have the power to order a coach breaking this rule to leave the players' box / stands? I know in football, the referee has the power to expel a inappropriately-behaving coach from the technical area. Is there a similar power in the tennis rules?
Also, if a coach breaks the rule, can their coaching accreditation (for future tournaments) be stripped from them? Bernard Tomic's dad-cum-coach once ordered his son to walk off the court in protest at an umpire's decision (a very serious rule breach). How was he allowed to keep his accreditation? What would be the disciplinary process for a tennis coach, as opposed to a player? 58.111.175.170 ( talk) 07:01, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Is it possible for a "perfect-fitting" shoe to slip off? Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 08:44, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to know: why is it that Trance artists such as This and This who had a unique sound from the 90's to the mid 2000's now have a more Progressive house style? it seems to me like many Trance artists do a more Progressive House style that makes them have some similar qualities in their newer songs, so wouldn't that technicly make them progressive artists now? 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 13:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
I see what you mean. shame, tiesto did well, but trying to imitate Guetta i must say is not the smartest of moves for someone who's supposed to be the best dj in the world, know what i mean? 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 17:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Ok, here's a toughie, but I hope someone's memory is as eclectic as mine. There's a movie scene I've had in my head for a long time. A beautiful woman is looking to hire a private pilot, and she goes to a hangar in search of one. She spots a likely looking guy who's doing maintenance on a plane, and she calls out to him "Are you the one?". Remember, these people are total strangers at this point. He interprets this as a flirty opening from a pretty girl, and responds in kind, but I don't remember exactly what his words were. But I'm certain of her words, because it's an unusual question to ask of a stranger. That's all I remember of the scene.
My brain tells me it's from The Other Side of Midnight (1977), the girl was Marie-France Pisier, and the pilot was Dennis Cole. That movie did involve a private plane, but Dennis Cole wasn't in it (the movie). So, either it was a different movie, probably not involving Pisier – or it wasn't Cole at all - or perhaps both. I'm 99% positive the guy was blond like Cole, but it may not have been Cole himself.
If it wasn't The Other Side of Midnight, I'd love to identify the movie and the actors.
Does this ring any bells? Thanks. -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 21:32, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
