== Do wide receivers usually line up on a certain side? == |

Is there any way to find out which side someone lines up on?

:Assuming you are referring to [[American football]], see [[American football positions]]. A wide receiver can line up on either side - or have two on the same side. The limitation is not the side of the field a player lines up on. The limitation is how many players there are on the line of scrimmage. -- [[User:Kainaw|<font color='#ff0000'>k</font><font color='#cc0033'>a</font><font color='#990066'>i</font><font color='#660099'>n</font><font color='#3300cc'>a</font><font color='#0000ff'>w</font>]][[User talk:Kainaw|™]] 20:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC) |

:As for individual players, it varies. The [[Indianapolis Colts]], for instance, have typically lined up [[Marvin Harrison]] wide right (from the quarterback's perspective) for years. It's a rarity that he starts a play anywhere else. Other teams have no such established convention. As for finding out where a given player lined up, you'd need detailed game charting. [[Football Outsiders]] is one project that compiles stuff like this, and they get their data by very carefully watching all NFL games and manually noting where players are. — [[User talk:Lomn|Lomn]] 00:10, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |

::Thank you two. Yes, I was talking about the NFL. That's excellent information Lomn, and exactly what I mean.

:::Purely from my memories, receivers are likely to be positioned more frequently on certain sides of the lineup, because of personal preference or for strategic reasons, whereas defenders tend to be moved about from game to game (and play to play) so that a team's best cornerback will be matched with the opponent's best wide receiver. [[User:Deor|Deor]] ([[User talk:Deor|talk]]) 02:07, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:::To a large extent, you can. FO does breakdowns like "Defense vs #1 WR" and "Defense vs TE". It's an approximation, of course, but it may well be better than nothing. — [[User talk:Lomn|Lomn]] 02:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
::::Don't forget to take into account the number of shifts a team will make. For instance, they may list the play as starting out with [[Donald Driver]] on the right, but then - because of something predesigned, or the quarterback seeing someting int he defense and calling an [[audible]] he will shift over to the left. this is unusual, but it does happen. (In fact, I recall a number of times when [[Jerry Rice]] would be in the middle of a shift when the ball is snapped, and take a handoff.) |
|||
::::When they shift, though, usually the opposing corner or a safety follows, I think. So, factor in how complex the team's playbook is that the receiver plays for, but if it is more complex, you should generally be able to account for the same person covering.[[User:DTF955|Somebody or his brother]] ([[User talk:DTF955|talk]]) 12:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:::::That is often the strategy of a shift. If you move a receiver and a corner or safety moves too, you likely have man-to-man coverage. If the defence doesn't move, you likely have zone coverage. -- [[User:Kainaw|<font color='#ff0000'>k</font><font color='#cc0033'>a</font><font color='#990066'>i</font><font color='#660099'>n</font><font color='#3300cc'>a</font><font color='#0000ff'>w</font>]][[User talk:Kainaw|™]] 15:27, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |

::::::Indeed, the formations are quite varied, and how teams handle them is quite varied as well. The article [[Formation (American football)]] covers this quite well. The first important rule is that there are required to be 7 people on the line of scrimage and 4 backs, who must line up a minimum of 1 yard behind the line. Always. Of those 11 players, the 4 backs plus the two players on the end of the line are "eligible", meaning that they can legally handle the ball (the 5 interior linemen may only block). Now, as long as one maintains that "7 and 4" set up, you can create literally dozens of combinations. A wide receiver may be either one of the ends (where he is called a "split end") or one of the backs. If you watch most teams, and look at the two wideouts in a standard set, you will see that one is always lined up one step off of the line of scrimage. This one is called the "flanker" and he is technically a back. If a team removes one of the other backs and replaces him with a wide receiver, for a three wide-receiver set, at least one of the wide receivers will be lined up between the farthest end and the nearest offensive lineman. This position is called the "slot" and the receiver there is the "slot receiver." Here's some pics to explain everything: |
|||
{| |
|||
|[[Image:I-form green.PNG|thumb|This one has the "split end" on the left and the "flanker" on the right]]||[[Image:Ace green.PNG|thumb|Note that the FB has been replaced with another WR, who is now "in the slot" on the left side of the formation]]||[[Image:5-wide green.svg|thumb|An extreme example, with 5 wideouts. Note the split end, the flanker, and 3 slot receivers]] |
|||
|} |
|||
::::::As far as specific players go, it really depends on the particular team. On some teams, the same player ''always'' lines up in the same spot. For example, [[Jerry Rice]] was almost always the flanker. On other teams, they will often move a player around a lot to "hide" him and make it harder for a defense to plan on how to defend him. For example, the "slot" receiver is most often covered by either a linebacker or by a third cornerback, and is often therefore in the most advantageous position, coverage-wise, of three wideouts. Many teams, in a 3-wide set, will place their best receiver at "slot". However, this receiver typically has to run through the most traffic, and so other teams may prefer to put their best receiver at one of the outer positons, to reduce the number of defenders who will have a chance to defend him. One of the things about American football is that it is quite like a chess game; there are almost an infinite number of ways to arrange and use your pieces, and there exists a successful strategy to use any of these arrangements. Its hard to make any blanket statements about what is "typical".--[[User:Jayron32|Jayron32]].[[User talk:Jayron32|<small>talk</small>]].[[Special:Contributions/Jayron32|<small>contribs</small>]] 16:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |

== Looking for a specific book == |
|||
It's one I read a long time ago, when I was at middle school, which means I can narrow down some dates. I was at my middle school from around 1990 to 1994, so obviously it was printed on or before those dates. I'm pretty sure I got it from the school library, which narrows down the types of books. I'm in the UK, if that makes any difference. |
|||
The story is something I can't place exactly, but I do remember that it was about 2 people growing up in a mostly abandoned city, things were huge in proportion to them, which implied that the original citizens were larger in stature than the protagonists. When I think of it I get images of toppled statues and busts, broken on the floor. I also get images of checkered floor designs. There was a "mystery" theme in place, with the protagonists not knowing much about themselves or their surroundings. |
|||
This is about all I can get down at the moment, but I'm sure if prompted with questions, I could come up with more. |

I'm trying to think of the title of a movie I saw probably around 10 or so years ago. I believe it's a little older than that - but I'm not sure.

== B/W film about burried civilian workers on WW2 "Atlantic Wall" == |
|||
I remember seeing a film on television, (mid 50's - mid 60's)? about a group of civilians working on the German Atlantic Wall who become trapped in one of the supply bunkers during an allied air raid. They survive for years due to the supplies. But over time become despondent, isolated and seek their own space. One or more ultamitly commit suicde. Eventually, in 1955 I believe, one or more are rescued when the remnants of the Atlantic wall are being dismantled. I believe this is based on a true story. |

Hello! Does anybody know a rock song with lyrics (chorus): She goes oh, oh oh? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/193.77.182.61|193.77.182.61]] ([[User talk:193.77.182.61|talk]]) 19:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:Possibly the song "[[D'yer Mak'er]]" by [[Led Zeppelin]], which has the line "You don't have to go, oh oh oh oh"... or maybe "[[There She Goes]]" by [[The Las]], later covered by [[Sixpence None The Richer]]. [[Ben E. King]] had a tune called "[[There Goes My Baby]]" which has a similar line as well. Does any of these work?--[[User:Jayron32|Jayron32]].[[User talk:Jayron32|<small>talk</small>]].[[Special:Contributions/Jayron32|<small>contribs</small>]] 20:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC) |

== Identifying a book in a Jimi Hendrix photo == |

There is a photo I have seen of Jimi Hendrix reading a science fiction book - I think it is a collection of short stories and I think it is an old (orange) Penguin.

== Belohlavek in Brno? == |

A teacher of mine recently told me that when he worked in an orchestra in Brno, Jiri Belohlavek was the conductor. Should I believe that, seeing there's no mention of the city in the article for Belohlavek?

== The Rising - High & Dry (Radiohead cover) == |
|||
Hi all. Several years ago, I had a LaunchCast account on Yahoo! Music and one of my favorite songs that I have rated was a song by the band The Rising. It was called "High &Dry"" which was a cover of a Radiohead song. I am looking to purchase/download this song and I cannot find it anywhere. Please help. --[[User:Emyn ned|Emyn ned]] ([[User talk:Emyn ned|talk]]) 13:58, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |

:[[Allmusic.com]] has this on the band: [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wbfwxqu0ldse] The song is not listed among their official releases. Allmusic is pretty much canonical on these sorts of things. The probability is that the song was a [[bootleg]] of some sort, either recorded live in concert by a fan, or stolen by a studio worker during the recording process. I can't find anything on this song... --[[User:Jayron32|Jayron32]].[[User talk:Jayron32|<small>talk</small>]].[[Special:Contributions/Jayron32|<small>contribs</small>]] 14:10, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |

:The Allmusic page has Michael Johns listed as the only group member of The Rising. A Google search for [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22High+and+Dry%22+Michael+Johns&btnG=Search "High and Dry" Michael Johns] brought up a few hits.

These links take me to videos of Michael Johns with poor sound quality and incomplete songs. However, thanks for your help though. I can't access Yahoo! Music now because I am at work, but I have looked up "High & Dry" by The Rising and it's there but just not downloadable....--[[User:Emyn ned|Emyn ned]] ([[User talk:Emyn ned|talk]]) 14:33, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |

For those fans of [[Jack Kirby|Jack]] & [[Silver Surfer|the Surfer]]. Is the ''Surfer'' #1 Gere's reading in [[Breathless (1983 film)|"Breathless"]] supposed to be a 1st-print? What year was the film set in? From what I saw, it was the reprint cover, so it can't have been 1960 (the year the original was shot).
