Stand Watie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Stand Watie (12 December 1806-9 September 1871) (also known as Degataga "standing together as one," or "stand firm" and Isaac S. Watie) was a leader of the Cherokee Nation and a brigadier general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. The Ross Party targeted Stand and Buck Watie and the Ridge family for assassination and, of the four men mentioned above, only Stand Watie managed to escape with his life. Watie and his nephew Elias C. Boudinot were arrested for evading taxes on income from a tobacco factory, and were plantiffs in the Cherokee Tobacco Case of 1870, which negated the 1866 treaty provision establishing tribal tax exempt status. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stand_Watie   (723 words)

Stand! (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Stand!" is a 1969 song by the soul/rock/funk band Sly and the Family Stone. The song's title and lyrics are a call for its listeners to "stand" up for themselves, their communties, and what they believe in. The original mix of "Stand!" garnered a warm, yet unenthusiastic, reaction when Sly Stone had an early acetate of the record played in a San Francisco club. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stand!_(song)   (189 words)

Stand-alone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In television series, a stand-alone episode is an episode that is unrelated or connected to the broader plots of the show; it "stands alone" and can be watched without having seen the rest of the series, or missed without impacting one's understanding of the series. However this distinction does not stand up to scrutiny, since the computer has usually to be running some program that prepares (and sometimes initially processes) the "stand-alone" program to begin with. In computer games, a stand-alone game is one that can be played without requiring another game to provide most of its operating code (as opposed to an expansion pack, which adds to a previous game). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stand-alone   (333 words)

Taxi stand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A taxi stand (also called taxi rank, cab stand, cab rank, or hack stand) is a queue area on a street or on private property where taxicabs line up to wait for passengers.

THE FLESH EATERS It stands to reckon that this heart bursting with amor led to a pattern of adding his current flame into the band, from Jill Jordan on the A Hard Road To Follow -era Â’83 Flesh Eaters, to Julie Christiansen throughout the Divine Horsemen and Juanita Myers in todayÂ’s Flesh Eaters. Singer and band constant Chris D. (Desjardins) was able to sprout new heads for his band every couple of years while keeping a supremely intense, performance-as-catharsis ethos very much alive, and always charting fertile new musical ground. Though IÂ’m concentrate on the body of work produced by this singular band between 1978 and 1983, a Chris D.-helmed band called The Flesh Eaters continues with a revolving line-up to this very day (and hey, theyÂ’re not half bad, either). www.furious.com /perfect/flesheaters.html   (257 words)

Track stands (Jobst Brandt) Date: 25 Feb 2000 01:45:55 GMT The essence of a no-handed track stand is to use the rider's polar moment of inertia against which to shift the CG. Track sprints are often contested between two riders who make an essentially standing start into a competition to cross the finish line first after three laps. On most tracks curves are banked too steeply to allow trackstands anywhere but on the straights where the pedals will not strike the track at zero speed. yarchive.net /bike/track_stand.html   (504 words)

XIV. The Band Begins to Play. Riis, Jacob A. 1902. The Battle with the Slum The Committee on Care of Buildings spoke his mind: “They were of little use; too hot in summer and too cold in winter.” We were invited to quit our fooling and resume business at the old stand of the three R’s, and let it go with that. The band was playing “Alabama,” and fifteen hundred boys and girls were dancing, hopping, prancing to the tune, circling about and about while they sang and kept time to the music.
