January 8[edit]

1980s ABC musical promo[edit]

Sometime in the mid-to-late 1980s, American Broadcasting Company would air their primetime schedules for a few seconds. Some jazz music portions would be playing the background. I'm trying to find out the portion of first song, and whom the song is done by. I know the second portion was from, "Communion," by Swing Out Sister. The third and last portion was from, "Maputo," by Bob James and David Sanborn. If anyone out there can help me figure out the portion from the first song, that would be great, and I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so very much.72.229.136.18 (talk) 02:48, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any Links to the lazer collection(s) or articles regaurding shoop-the-whoop animations? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.191.102.55 (talk) 05:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AOE[edit]

NEED HELP WITH A LEVEL IN AOE PLEASE Hyano czespony (talk) 10:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are we supposed to guess which level it is you're having problems with as well as what your problem may be? Also, should we assume that you're referring to Age of Empires? Dismas|^(talk) 11:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

YES IT IS AGE OF EMPIRES Hyano czespony (talk) 11:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why not try at GameFAQs? Lanfear's Bane | t 12:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I'm looking for a guide for that level that tells PRECISELY what to do, and none of those are at GameFaqs. I. e. precisely how many resources to gather before researching a particular technology or creating particular units, precisely how many units to make and when to make them, etc. And it wouldn't hurt to include "checkpoints" to find out how much time you have played the level. The level I am stuck on is very hard and I can't even complete it with a guide, unless it is one that tells precisely what to do. Such a guide would be hard to include on this page - try putting the guide on my talk page, or on a page like User talk:Hyano czespony/Guide for an AOE level.

Is this any good to you? SaundersW (talk) 22:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm...the level I am stuck on is in AOE2, not AOE1... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyano czespony (talk • contribs) 22:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What level is it? 60.241.121.3 (talk) 23:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, either write a guide for this level on my talk page, or include it on a page like User talk:Hyano czespony/Guide for an AOE level. And by the way, this level I am talking about... the level I am stuck on... the level I need a precise guide for... is the China level. Hyano czespony (talk) 04:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

here is a walkthrough for AoE II. I can't tell if the section on "into China" is detailed enough for you. SaundersW (talk) 12:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't it more fun to figure these things out on your own? (I remember using a walkthrough for Zork once and it was totally unsatisfying...) Adam Bishop (talk) 08:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-sequitur, but are the phrases in AOE such as "wololo" (for the priests) and others such as "rogan?" and "erectus" (that's what it sounds like to me) based on any real language or are they complete nonsense? 206.252.74.48 (talk) 19:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is one of the guides I used, but was unsuccessful with. Please write a detailed, precise guide on my talk page or on a page with a link like this one. Hyano czespony (talk) 05:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

music for modern remake of film "Jamaica Inn" starring Jane Seymour[edit]

I watched a video of this film "Jamaica Inn", based on the Daphne du Maurrier novel, made in 1991 and starring Jane Seymour, Patrick McGoohan, Trevor Eve...

There was no credit for the orchestral score. Can you tell me who composed it?

Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.133.226.253 (talk) 22:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Internet Movie Database is usually a good source for this sort of query. On their "full cast and crew" page for this TV production, which was actually made in 1985, they credit one Francis Shaw for the music. And you can follow the link from his name to this page to see what else they believe he's worked on. --Anonymous, 23:13 UTC, January 8, 2008.
