editJellyfish - Ignorance is Bliss
editHello, I recently heard this beautiful song, but the problem is, that my only favorite parts are 0:00 - 0:15 because of the smooth, emotional jazz beat, was this sampled from some another song? or is there a song with a very similar sound as in the intro or the same? I don't like it until in the end again cause of that emotional instrumental part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlC6i6DPdnU (this is the song.) Thank you.
Movie name
editThere was a movie that I watched many years ago when I was little. I can't quite remember the name. The movie is probably made in 1990s or 2000s. The movie is set in the future, where humans are nearly wiped out by those flying red (or orange, don't remember exactly) creatures. They look very much like a flying red or orange soul, and they can kill humans by going through their bodies. The humans fight them by using some robot suits that resembles those in "Edge of Tomorrow", except it's a lot bigger if I remember correctly. There were also some laser guns. There is a safe city (likely the last safe place) for humans that is carefully guarded. Everything someone goes out of the area, before they can come back in, they have to go through some scanning processes. In the end, the flying creatures somehow successfully breached into the last safe city and nearly killed everyone. If I remember correct, there are about 1-2 people surviving at the end. Any name suggestion is appreciated. I can check and confirm any name being suggested. Thanks! 146.151.83.253 (talk) 03:43, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- never mind my question. I found the name of it already lol.146.151.83.253 (talk) 05:47, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- It might be helpful if you post the title here. That way your question and answer can still help inform others. SemanticMantis (talk) 17:22, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- It would be especially useful to those of us who are dying to know what a flying red or orange soul looks like. —08:25, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- For anyone still waiting ;) - Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within would be a good bet, fitting all mentioned criteria. Google image search has a few images of the "ghosts". GermanJoe (talk) 05:17, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Baseball statistical leaders as of a certain date
editIs there anywhere online that lets you view MLB seasonal statistical leaderboards on a specific mid-season date (e.g. who had played the most games or gotten the most hits as of September 1, 1965)? I figured baseball-reference would offer this feature, but if it does, I wasn't able to find it. Any sort of indirect workaround, like a way to find this information for a particular statistic for a particular player one at a time, would also be welcome. Thanks in advance! -Elmer Clark (talk) 19:00, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- I haven't done any digging, but http://www.retrosheet.org/ is pretty good for baseball stats. --Jayron32 19:16, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- If you can find a daily newspaper that regularly publishes the statistics you want, you could look for the September 2, 1965, issue of that paper at a public or university library. They may have it on microfilm or in scanned form. (Scanned back issues of some papers can also be found on the web, but generally only smaller ones unless you can access them through a library you belong to.) --174.88.134.249 (talk) 23:19, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- I'm quite familiar with both retrosheet.org and baseball-reference,com, and unfortunately neither site has this information. With B-Ref, you can find the standings for any date in major league history (here are the results for September 1, 1965 [1]), but there is no feature that allows you to look up the statistical leaders on that date. If you have a lot of time on your hands, both sites have game-by-game statistical breakdowns for a most seasons, so you could generate the information for a specific date by simply looking up what the stats for each player in the league were on that day. The data exists, it's just that no one has yet designed a program to generate the information in the form you want. The designers of Baseball-reference love to find new ways to use the databases they have compiled, however, so you may contact them and see if they could help out (there is a contact form on the site). --Xuxl (talk) 15:10, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
- A good bet might be to contact the Elias Sports Bureau. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:41, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
