Gameplay

Three celebrities and three contestants competed in a game in which they tried to identify people (either celebrities, historical figures, or fictional characters) from objects typically associated with that person. Each contestant played with two celebrities - one who gave a clue and one who received it.

For example, if the person was “Charles Lindbergh” a clue from the first celebrity might be “transatlantic airplane”; if the contestant guessed correctly, it was worth ten points; if not, the contestant gave a clue to the second celebrity for seven points. Clues were worth ten points, then seven, then five, then three. If the subject was not guessed after the three-point clue, the subject was thrown out.

The first contestant to score fifteen points won $75 and the right to team with a celebrity in the “Winner’s Game”, in which they attempted to identify as many celebrities associated with a particular object as possible in thirty seconds.

Rule changes

By the end of the show’s run, the format had changed to two celebrity-contestant teams (similar to Password) who tried to identify the person in a maximum of three clues; they now played a two-out-of-three match with each game worth $100.

Afterword

After The Object Is was canceled, Clark began hosting the new ABC version of Missing Links, which moved from NBC to ABC on March 30, 1964. Clark replaced Ed McMahon, who was under contract to NBC, however his new series did not fare well against NBC’s replacement - Jeopardy!

Episode status

All 65 episodes exist and are in the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Three shows are in the trading circuit - the premiere, the finale, and the second-to-last episode (in which Stubby Kaye promotes the debut of Shenanigans).

Online help

July 4th, 2009

sharper image

Online help is topic-oriented, procedural or reference information delivered through computer software. It is a form of user assistance. Most online help is designed to give assistance in the use of a software application or operating system, but can also be used to present information on a broad range of subjects. When online help is linked to the state of the application (what the user is doing), it is called context-sensitive help.

Online help is created using help authoring tools. It is delivered in a wide variety of formats, some proprietary and some open-standard, including:

  • Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which includes HTML Help, HTML-based Help, JavaHelp, and Oracle Help
  • Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)

Microsoft help platforms

Microsoft develops the platforms for delivering help systems in the Microsoft Windows operating system.

  • Microsoft QuickHelp - Ralph Walden joined Microsoft in 1987 and wrote an online help system for MS-DOS and OS/2 called QuickHelp. Ralph was also primarily responsible for WinHelp and HTML Help 1.x.
  • The DOS, OS/2 and Windows help command.
  • Microsoft WinHelp (.HLP) - Based on the Rich Text Format, this was the industry standard for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95/NT. The popular Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) was included with all Windows operating systems from Windows 3.0 until the Windows XP operating system. However, the help engine is not included with Windows Vista and is only available as a download. (click Help Engine Support)
  • Microsoft Compressed HTML Help (.CHM) - Based on compiled HTML and other data such as images and JavaScript. HTML Help 1.0 was released in 1997. In 2006, it was available from Microsoft as HTML Help 1.4.
  • HTML Help 2.0 - In 2001, Microsoft announced plans for a wide release of HTML Help 2.0. This platform was developed by Microsoft and shipped in 2002 as the help format for Visual Studio .NET, MSDN Library and Technet products, but Microsoft announced it had cancelled plans to make the format publicly available.
  • AP Help 1.0 - Assistance Platform Help is the new generation of online help being developed for and shipped with Windows Vista. It will not be made publicly available as an authoring platform for other software vendors. It will be used by Microsoft, OEMs, and certain corporations.
  • AP Help 2.0 - This version of the new Assistance Platform Help engine is currently on hold.

Other platforms

  • Apple Help (.HELP) - Apple Computer’s proprietary help platform for the Mac OS 8.5+ operating system.
  • Sun JavaHelp (.js) - A platform-independent help system written in Java programming language by Sun Microsystems. It runs on any platform and browser that supports the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
  • Oracle Help - Two formats developed by the Oracle Corporation: Oracle Help for Java (OHJ) and Oracle Help for Web (OHW).
  • DotNetHelp - A new Windows help format, designed to replace the .chm format, that also supports .NET applications.
  • The Texinfo program and format (also known as the “info” system) - the official documentation system for the GNU project.

Pedro Borbón Rodriguez (born December 2, 1946 in Valverde, Dominican Republic ) is a former pitcher. He played Major League Baseball for 12 seasons (1969 - 1980) for four teams, including 10 seasons for the Cincinnati Reds (1970 - 1979), playing on two World Series winning teams. Borbón was mainly known for being a relief pitcher, pitching 4? scoreless innings during the 1976 National League Championship Series, when the Reds won the series 3-0.

Borbon currently lives in San Juan, TX

Borbón’s son, Pedro Borbón, Jr. is also a former MLB pitcher who played in the majors from 1992 to 2003, and played on the World Series champion 1995 Atlanta Braves.

A local Cincinnati urban legend claims that Borbon, incensed about being traded from the Reds in 1979, placed a voodoo losing curse on the Reds until the last member of the Reds front office management left in 1990.. In 2002, Borbon admitted that this was a hoax.

Cultural References

Borbon was referenced in a joke in the movie Airplane! As Ted Striker’s inner-dialogue is heard echoing in his mind, it resembles a stadium public address announcement, and he is heard thinking “Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon…Manny Mota…Mota…Mota” (though Mota and Borbon never actually played on the same team).

And also has a daughter born June 9 named Maria Jacqueline Borbon who is currently a professional model.

St. Mary’s Basilica, Kraków

July 4th, 2009


Exterior of the Basilica

St. Mary’s Basilica (Polish: Ko?ció? Mariacki), is a Brick Gothic church re-built in the 14th century (originally built in the early 13th century), adjacent to the Main Market Square in Kraków, Poland. Standing 80m (262ft) tall, it is particularly famous for its wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss (Wit Stwosz).

On every hour, a trumpet signal — called the heynal (hejna?) — is played from the top of the taller of St. Mary’s two towers. The plaintive tune breaks off in mid-stream, to commemorate the famous 13th century trumpeter, who was shot in the throat while sounding the alarm before the Mongol attack on the city. The noon-time hejna? is heard across Poland and abroad broadcast live by the Polish national Radio 1 Station.

St. Mary’s Basilica also served as an architectural model for many of the churches that were built by the Polish diaspora abroad, particularly those like St. Michael’s and St. John Cantius in Chicago, designed in the so-called Polish Cathedral style.

The church is familiar to many English-speaking readers from the 1929 book The Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly.
