Organization Description
Getting Out and Staying Out (GOSO) is dedicated to drastically reducing the recidivism rate for 16- to 24-year-old men by ensuring economic independence through purposeful education and directed employment. GOSO engages young men while they are incarcerated and develops individualized reentry plans for each program participant. Once a participant is released, he becomes active in our community-based program, where he receives one-on- one career career management services. The community-based program consists of educational guidance and referrals, job readiness training, mentoring, and mental health services.
GOSO serves nearly 200 participants a year in the community program and roughly 500 participants a year on Riker's Island. GOSO currently has 7 full-time employees and several volunteer mentors. Previous interns at GOSO have developed programming, assisted in program recruitment, developed and facilitated groups, and assisted staff in the development of reentry plans on Riker's Island.
Guggenheim Internship Description
The Guggenheim intern will be offered a variety of opportunities, but will most specifically be responsible for assist in recruiting new participants on Riker's Island. The intern will work with participants on Riker's Island in the development of their reentry plans. The intern will also have the opportunities to develop and implement new programming. Examples of previous intern projects include creating a tutoring program, the development of a reentry process group on Riker's Island, and the development of program recruiting materials.
Intern Qualifications
The most important qualities we look for in an intern are an openness to work with previously incarcerated young men and the ability to empathize with individuals who are potentially quite different from the intern.
Background check required.
A car is not necessary but helpful.
Expected start date: 9:00 am
Expected end date: 5:00 pm
Required Dates: None: between 06/30/2013 and 08/16/2013
Internship Length: 8-10 weeks
Additonal Information: In order to expedite volunteer ID for Department of Corrections, the intern should come in a few months prior to internship to complete application and fingerprinting.

When we ask W&M students to name the best part of their law school experience, the answer is unanimous: "amazing professors."
W&M Law School professors are more than merely "accessible." They're personally invested in your education and your success. Their teaching philosophy goes hand-in-hand with the Law School's belief in the citizen lawyer. The goal is to educate the whole student, something that won't be accomplished through lectures alone.
Your law professors will be the faculty advisors for your student groups. They'll be the first people you ask for advice about that summer internship or your first job. And when exams roll around, they'll always make time for one last review session over pizza or via online chat.
What's most amazing about this level of student-professor engagement is that our faculty comprises nationally and internationally recognized experts in many fields of law. So when you meet a professor, you're also making the acquaintance of the keynote speaker at an Institute of Bill of Rights Law symposium or an expert on international criminal law.
Apart from our full-time faculty, we also boast an impressive adjunct professorship made up of practicing lawyers and public officials with decades of hands-on experience in the ethical practice of law. These professors help set the citizen-lawyer standard, proving by example that good lawyers are vitally engaged in the life of the local community, state, nation and world.
Read through our faculty bios to see the incredible people who teach at W&M. Then visit us in person to sit in on a class.

Hi guys,
firstly, sorry for the site and forum being offline for most of the day. We had to take the site offline whilst we fixed a few things. The downside is we have lost a day or so of forum posts as we had to restore the site from a copy taken in the early hours of the 12th September. So you may find some threads are missing. Please accept my apologies for any posts that were lost.
If you experience any further issues or find errors please post them in this thread and we'll take a look.

A gun is a projectile-firing weapon, which can be either muzzle or breech-loaded. The term is regularly used for both heavy artillery pieces and smaller firearms such as rifles and pistols.
- Alphabetized by author or source
- If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
- Anonymous American adage, as quoted in The Wayward Welfare State (1981) by Roger A. Freeman, p. 286
- When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
- Bumper sticker, quoted in Design with Type (1982) by Carl Dair, p. 174.
- Лучше старенький ТТ, чем дзюдо и каратэ.
- The old TT is better than judo and karate.
- And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.
- Samuel Adams, (February 6, 1788), reported in Charles Hale, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (1856), p. 86. This language was proposed in the Massachusetts convention for ratification of the U.S. Constitution to be added to Article I of that document.
- Suddenly the men of Troop G pause and wheel around, rifles upraised. At 12:24 one of them, possibly an officer, fires his weapon. This is immediately followed by a staccato sound like a series of giant firecrackers exploding. At least ten guardsmen fire fifty-five rifle bursts, five pistol shots, and a shotgun blast at students over a hundred yards away in the parking lot.
When echoes of the fusillade fade away, thirteen bodies are sprawled on the ground. Nine students are wounded. Four are dead—Allison Krause, Bill Schroeder, Sandra Scheuer, and Jeffrey Miller. Of the thirteen who were shot, only two have been hit frontally. Seven have bullets in their sides and four in their backs, proving they were not advancing but fleeing.
One young guardsman is horrified by the spectacle. Falling to the ground and tossing hysterically, he cries out, "I just shot two teenagers!" The other guardsmen march off up the hill, leaving the dead and wounded behind.
- Jules Archer on the Kent State shootings, "Kent State—the Tragedy that Shook the Nation," chapter one of The Incredible Sixties: The Stormy Years that Changed America (San Diego: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1986), pp. 2–3.
- The laws of [false utility] are those which forbid to wear arms, disarming those only who are not disposed to commit the crime which the laws mean to prevent. Can it be supposed, that those who have the courage to violate the most sacred laws of humanity, and the most important of the code, will respect the less considerable and arbitrary injunctions, the violation of which is so easy, and of so little comparative importance? Does not the execution of this law deprive the subject of that personal liberty, so dear to mankind and to the wise legislator?
- Cesare Beccaria, On Crimes and Punishments, 1764, Chapter 40 [1], this has sometimes been wrongly attributed to Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson transcribed this passage (in the original Italian) in his Legal Commonplace Book, item 828.

The Maxim gun, and they have not.

- Brian Boyle, in the American Dad!, episode "Stannie Get Your Gun" (2005).
- After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
- William S. Burroughs, "The War Universe: Interviews with Raymond Foye", Grand Street no. 37 (1991), p. 107
- The firepower wielded by organised crime groups in Mexico has not only led to mounting instability in the US's southern neighbour, but also contributed to lawlessness on the two countries' shared border and the deaths of American agents. As the US invests millions in Mexico's security through the Merida initiative, it does itself a disservice by allowing lax gun regulation to arm the same groups it is trying to combat. Poor gun regulation and oversight also threatens the US by providing potential terrorists with easy access to military grade weapons, as was boasted by American-born al-Qaida member Adam Gadahn in a recent video.
- Rodrigo Camarena, "Time to Target Gun Control", The Guardian, 24 June 2011.
- You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun

- Samuel Colt, in a [2]letter to Charles Manby (18 May 1852); originally rendered : "The good people of this wirld are very far from being satisfide with each other & my arms are the best peesmakers."
- The consensus is that no more than five to ten people in a hundred who die by gunfire in Los Angeles are any loss to society. These people fight small wars amongst themselves. It would seem a valid social service to keep them well-supplied with ammunition.

- Dianne Feinstein, interview with CBS-TV 60 Minutes, February 5, 1995.
- Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest. If we want the Arms Act to be repealed, if we want to learn the use of arms, here is a golden opportunity. If the middle classes render voluntary help to Government in the hour of its trial, distrust will disappear, and the ban on possessing arms will be withdrawn.
- Mahatma Gandhi, "An Autobiography OR The story of my experiments with truth", Chapter 27, Recruiting Campaign, from a leaflet urging Indians to serve with the British Army in World War II. [5]
- But if someone has a gun and is trying to kill you... it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.

- The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 46.
- If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying — that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 — establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.
- Orrin Hatch, "The Right to Keep and Bear Arms".
- An armed society is a polite society.
- Robert Heinlein, Beyond This Horizon (1942).
- Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?
- Patrick Henry (J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836).
- Let me make a short, opening, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a decent person is no threat to anybody — except bad people...
- Charlton Heston, on NBC's Meet the Press, May 18, 1997.
- England, where no one has guns; fourteen deaths. United States — and I think you know how we feel about guns; whoo! I'm getting' a stiffy — 23,000 deaths from handguns. But there's no connection, and you'd be a fool and a communist to make one.
- Bill Hicks, Quoted in Love All the People: Letters, Lyrics, Routines, 2004.
- The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing.
- Adolf Hitler, dinner talk (April 1942), in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, pp. 425-426.
- GUN CONTROL! That is what the Branch Davidian compound attack was all about. David Koresh was a gun collector and a tax evader. Boy, they didn't like him, and one of the purposes for that raid was to scare the American people into submission. You better register your firearms. Make sure they know. They might come for you as they did for Koresh.
- Kent Hovind, "Unmasking the False Religion of Evolution Chapter 4", 1996,
- The right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.
- Hubert Humphrey, "Know Your Lawmakers", Guns magazine, February 1960, pg. 4.
- No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms [within his own lands].
- Thomas Jefferson, Draft Constitution for Virginia (June 1776) This quote often appears with the parenthetical omitted and with the spurious extension, "The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government". (See Jefferson Encyclopedia).
- A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.
- Thomas Jefferson, WRITINGS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON 341 (Andrew A. Lipscomb ed., 1903). Letter to his nephew.
- One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them.
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to George Washington, 1796. (The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Lipscomb and Bergh, editors, 20 Vols., Washington, D.C., 1903-04, 9:341.
- The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, … or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.
- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Major John Cartwright (5 June 1824)[6].
- By... our readiness to allow arms to be purchased at will and fired at whim; by allowing our movie and television screens to teach our children that the hero is one who masters the art of shooting and the technique of killing; by allowing all of these developments, we have created an atmosphere in which violence and hatred have become popular pastimes.
- Martin Luther King, Jr., November 1963. Quoted in I have a Dream: the Life and Times of Martin Luther King, Jr. by Lenwood G. Davis, 1973. (p.266).
- God created men. Colonel Colt made them equal.
- Old frontier saying

- Happiness is a warm gun.

- I think these things ( firearms ) were invented by Satan himself, for they can't be defended against with (ordinary) weapons and fists. All human strength vanishes when confronted with firearms. A man is dead before he sees what's coming.
- Martin Luther, Table Talk (1569), 3552.
- Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate Governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple Government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the Governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
- James Madison, Federalist No. 46 (1788).
- Sometimes paraphrased as: "Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms."
- Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual was to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia.
- George Mason, June 14, 1788, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adooption of the Federal Constitution, 2nd ed. (1861), Jonathan Elliot, v. 3, p. 380. (The "artful man" in the quote is Sir William Keith.) This quote has typically been rephrased by gun control opponents; for instance, "To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them."
- The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's goodbye to the Bill of Rights.

- As long as I have a pen in my hand and a revolver in my pocket, I fear no one.
- Benito Mussolini, 1914. Quoted in Paolo Monelli, Mussolini:the intimate life of a demagogue, Vanguard Press, 1954.
- A gun is not just a bit of metal. There is a relationship between the person and the gun which develops and changes. It became something he (Hamilton) could show off, then an extension of himself.
- Dr. Mick North, interviewed by Ed Vullimay, The Guardian, pg. T2, August 7th 1996. North's daughter Sophie was killed in the Dunblane school massacre by Thomas Hamilton.

- Ted Nugent, from a speech at the 2011 NRA Convention. [7]
- There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?
- Arms dealer Yuri Orlov (played by Nicolas Cage), Lord of War, 2005 [8].
- The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside. And while a single nation refuses to lay them down, it is proper that all should keep them up. Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them; for while avarice and ambition have a place in the heart of man, the weak will become a prey to the strong.
- Thomas Paine, "Thoughts on Defensive War", July, 1775. (Written anonymously but attributed to Paine).
- It is the privilege of every citizen, and one of his most essential rights, to bear arms, and to resist every attack upon his liberty or property, by whomsoever made. The particular states, like private citizens, have a right to be armed, and to defend, by force of arms, their rights, when invaded.
- Debates in the House of Representatives, ed. Linda Grand De Pauw. (Balt., Johns Hopkins Univ. Press, 1972), 92-3.
- The sense of impending conflict means business is picking up at the capital's 43 gun shops, even though they are only licensed to sell hunting guns or pistols. Customers are stockpiling bullets or shotgun cartridges, says Wiham Ghazi of the "Free Bird" gun shop, whose 12-gauge shotguns and .22 caliber rifles hang from gun racks on the wall of his shop, emanating a faint scent of gun oil. "It's our culture that people keep guns in their houses - it's inherited from our grandfathers," says Mr. Ghazi, sorting through an array of pistol bullets. Among the ammunition selection is a 12.7mm bullet for a heavy machine gun, with the red-painted tip of a tracer that burns bright as it flies.
"People are buying these kinds of guns just to protect themselves, in case of conflict," Ghazi says, adding that one customer Saturday morning came in looking for bullets for his father's .45 caliber pistol, which had been "put aside for years."
To explain their bond with weapons, Iraqis are fond of the modernized version of one traditional saying: "Give everything to your friend, except your car, your wife, and your gun."
- Scott Peterson, "Iraqi public well-armed and wary", The Christian Science Monitor, March 10, 2003. [9].
- You don't need no gun control. You know what you need? We need some bullet control. Man, we need to control the bullets, that's right. I think all bullets should cost $5000. $5000 for a bullet. You know why? 'Cause if a bullet costs $5000, there'd be no more innocent bystanders...
- Chris Rock, "Bigger and Blacker" (HBO, 1999).
- A great many sportsmen have urged me to support this bill. It is hard for me to understand the interest of sportsmen in pistols. I myself have fished and hunted a great deal. I have a deep interest in outdoor sports and the various associations which foster them, but it is common knowledge, of course, that fishermen never use a pistol and hunters practically never use a pistol... [even for] theoretical self-protection, the value of a revolver is very problematical.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1931, opposing the Hanley-Fake firearms bill which would have increased access to hanguns. Quoted in Gun Violence in America:The Struggle for Control, Alexander DeConde, 2003 (p.132).
- For the purpose of securing the working class in the possession of complete power, and in order to eliminate all possibility of restoring the power of the exploiters, it is decreed that all workers be armed.
- Russian Constitution of 1918, (Article I, chapter 2, paragraph G).
- I have a love interest in every one of my films — a gun.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger, interview with Playboy (January 1988).
- Any politico who's afraid of his constituents being armed, should be. Leaders of the anti-gun movement (for the most part, politicians who enthusiastically advocate confiscatory taxation and government control of everything) realize that a populace is much easier to herd, loot — and dispose of — if it has been stripped of its weapons. The naked fraud and transparent fascism of victim disarmament must be eradicated through the repeal of all gun laws at every level of government.
- L. Neil Smith, "The Brontosaurus in the Broom Closet," The Libertarian Enterprise, 18 October 2009[10].
- Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon — rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything — any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission.
- L. Neil Smith, "The Atlanta Declaration,"[11] presented at WeaponsCon I, Atlanta, Georgia, September 1987.
- The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.

- Homer: Just give me my gun!
Wiseguy: Sorry, the law requires a five day waiting period. We've got to run a background check.

Wiseguy: Yeah, well, you don't.

Rated 3.4 out of 5Â by 21 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 40daydream Love I love these headbands, perfect for someone who likes to wear their hair natural. The headband is stretchy and stays put once you have it on. I hope there will be an even wider selection of colors to come. 3.14.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by kryogi cute This was a very cute purchase. It is rather large, I also have VERY curly hair and it is still large. The material does feel cheap for the price. 2.27.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Hippiechick71 Not worth it Got this in the taupe hoping for something better than your average walmart headband...think I will go back to walmart. What I received was not much more than scrap material which I have plenty of in my sewing bag. Flimsy, dull, too large and nearly falls off my head, not cynched at all and reminds me of a cut off sleeve of a huge ugly shirt. Dissappointed and by the time ship it back will have lost too much...will redesign with sewing machine and make do with it. Still waiting on more free shipping for us loyal FP customers. 2.11.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by calicaro Not the right print I too had ordered the purple thinking it was going to be the nice floral print as pictured. I too got a zig zag print. Didn't see any indication that we could get something different. It's not very expansive but still too much for a print I am not happy with. It will go back. 2.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by freepeoplegurl77 Cute, Fun..... Love these headbands, the taupe and teal were my picks. They run just a little bit tight. The material does have a little stretch, the colors vibrant, patterns are amazing, material nice, an all around great band. 12.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mallen18 need these in every color! i love these headbands for every day casual hair do's, especially for yoga and going to the beach. So cute, so comfy. SO many cute prints! 5.28.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CeeCee I LOVE PLAID!!! I'm into plaids so I ordered the red plaid and just love it! I have worn this headband in so many ways already. I've worn it like the model, I've wound it around my top knot, and even wrapped it around my wrist like a bracelet (ok I'm weird :) The colors are super in this band. It reminds me of the old school colors of well worn plaid shirts, soft reds and blues. The band is quite wide and great for scrunching! The fabric is on the thin side but it's very nice. The plaid gives my outfits an edge and looks quite nice with denim shirts, and especially nice with FP overalls. Really funky cool, and is now my favorite FP headband. 3.21.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by fpMak Mi Amor I really love these and have bought five of them now, and I am continuing to buy more. However, three out of the five I have have ripped into pieces. They tear extremely easily. Handle with care! 1.10.2014

KoRn Discrimination
How do you feel when people criticize your taste in Listening to Korn? It seems Korn (band) gets bashed frequently for some of these reasons:
- Metal fans dislike them cause they're not Metal enough
- Hip-Hop fans dislike them cause they're not Hip-hop enough
- The term Mallcore freqently used..
- or they use the excuse that they are for teenagers to listen to..!?
its fucking annoying. Korn is here to stay, I don't see myself not stopping anytime soon from listening to them (im 23)
What are your feelings on Korn bashing?? and where do you think all the hate came from..?
It feels like something...no, it's nothing

Re: KoRn Discrimination
People love to trash what they don't get or understand, unfortunately it is a part of human nature, when really we should embrace our differences cause if everyone liked all the same stuff and did the same things the world would be a pretty boring place. I'm almost 36 and love Korn (always will even when I'm 80), their level of creativity and talent is truely both amazing and genius!
Re: KoRn Discrimination
Its louder and more difficult to understand. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't understand what it does for those who do.
Katie Pohl
Re: KoRn Discrimination
I hate to break it but a lot of what got associated with nu-metal gave korn a bad rep when they didn't even deserve it or really associate come from the same place or act like the majority of bands that fit that genre.
You are always gonna have people who can't stand anything after peachy labeling them sellouts who are no longer genuine,
Back in the mid 90's korn was never labeled mallcore etc... What can you do a lot of 12 year emo kids (which is dying breed now) will download away, shop at hot topicand relate to korn . You can't really change it and it's been going on for a while.
And it's true to extent korn were never a metal band. Infact most of the members previous bands were metal bands and when they were on MTV a decade ago like every other day it would piss off a lot people who play or are a fan of metal genres of music only because it was wrongly labeled metal music and korn will agree to this.
So comments should be taken with a grain of salt and not personal.

But now lately,i let them talk,cause so more u fight against it so heavier it gets!
KoRn is Lifestyle!
Re: KoRn Discrimination
It really pisses me off when people talk badly about KoRn. They are so much more than just a band to me.. Their music speaks to me.. It has helped me get through so much shit. I couldn't even thank them enough for all that they have done for me!

Re: KoRn Discrimination
turn the volume up and go nuts yeah.
Re: KoRn Discrimination
I don't think the haters antagonise Korn because of any sense of directed animosity. I imagine they do it because they enjoy it. Personally, I enjoy engaging them on the subject. They can be funny, and they add variety. Besides, If there weren't any haters out there, who would we antagonise?
But enough about the haters, let's talk about us. A lot of Korn fans seem very quick to take any anti-Korn sentiment as personal attacks. I've seen a few Korn fans vs. haters threads over the years, and they've all looked more like crankfests than anything productive. Also, while the community here is relaxed enough, elsewhere I've had a few discussions with other Korn fans over the years where people almost go out of their way to be hostile and competitive, even though there were no actual haters present. It feels like it's very easy to set some people off, and sometimes it's seemed impossible to avoid stepping on their landmines, in a manner of speaking.
I hardly think the haters really know Korn or us well enough to hit the target. Giving the issue any more attention than it deserves tends to get in the way of the things we enjoy in life or wish we were doing. Enjoy the music.
Re: KoRn Discrimination
Korn is Korn and too much people are just too obsessed with categorizing bands and their music.
People hate Korn because they can't necessarily categorize Korn and they fill helpless about it.
Re: KoRn Discrimination
For You, for me and for other "KoRn kids" KoRn is lifestyle. It's almost 20 years of following for most and 17 for me. Only family and own habits are closer. For others KoRn means just a band. I think it's normal.
But what is really fckn' bllsht is to impose their views n' write n' tell everywhere some bad things. Even worse if you're a music critic and actually you just think you are. Don't like - So What! Don't tell anybody bout it!

We finished just before the sun was minutes away from peeking behind the mountains and the cold air was freezing. The weekend before was sunny and hot, you never know CA weather. The girls were troopers in their sleeveless tops and dresses. This entire family is gorgeous, Kim is insanely beautiful and her two kids are beautiful as well. Lucky family!!!

Overcoming scoring droughts is something Mississippi State men's basketball coach Rick Ray is looking for his squad to do.
The Bulldogs routed the University of New Orleans 97-46 Thursday evening inside Humphrey Coliseum.
"If we continue to get stops and not turn the basketball over, we are still going to be up 15 points," Ray said. "We have to have that mindset when we have those scoring droughts. We are going to have some of those scoring droughts. It's college basketball. When you look at what's going on in college basketball, it's hard to score."
The Bulldogs (5-7) scored a season-high 43 points in the first half and held UNO (3-9) to a season-low 16 points. The Privateers opened up the second half on a 4-0 run to cut the score to 43-16. Ray called a timeout.
"It had nothing to do with Xs and Os and things like that," Ray said. "I actually showed them the clipboard and said 'there is nothing I'm going to put on this clipboard that is going to help you here.'"
The Bulldogs answered with a 17-0 run from 16:51 to 12:42 to end the Privateers thoughts of winning.
MSU blew a 33-25 halftime lead against Alabama A&M on Sunday. The Bulldogs fell 59-57 to Alabama A&M inside the Hump.
"This game is where we put more emphasis on finishing the game this time," MSU junior guard Jalen Steele said. "The first 8 minutes against Alabama A&M is where we came out and we were going hard. I think we were doing everything perfect in that game, then we just slacked off in that second half. In the second half of this game we had to keep up the momentum and the intensity and we did that (Thursday night)."
It was hard for Ray and his squad to shake off the loss to Alabama A&M.
"This is a really good win for us on a lot of fronts," Ray said. "The thing I talked to our guys about after that Alabama A&M loss was we had to get over the public embarrassment of losing at home to Alabama A&M. That's a hard thing. We had to figure out a way to get better from this. The sad part about the Alabama A&M game was I thought that first 15 minutes of the game was the best we have ever played."
The Bulldogs opened the game on a 12-0 run. UNO didn't score its first points until the 14:40 mark when Rarlensee Nelson made a layup.
MSU forced 23 turnovers and only allowed seven assists. The Bulldogs scored 11 points on the fast break.
"I thought our guys are just really active," Ray said. "Once you force 23 turnovers, it gives you a chance to go out and play transition basketball. I don't care what team you are, you always play better in transition because you are playing advantage basketball. You are not playing against a set defense. That's what we want. We want our guys to get out and play in the open court. (We want to) play full-court basketball and have some chances to play against a defense that is not set."
The 51-point win was the largest of the season for the Bulldogs who improved to 4-1 at home and 5-1 when leading at the half.
The Privateers were led by Lovell Cook and Kevin Hill with seven points each.
In his second game back, Steele tied his season-high with 16 points. Freshman Fred Thomas each had 16 points. Sophomore Roquez Johnson added 14 points and freshman Gavin Ware from Starkville was two rebounds away from a third-straight double-double. He ended the night with 10 points and eight boards.
The Bulldogs open Southeastern Conference play Wednesday night when South Carolina comes to town for a 7 p.m. tipoff.View more articles in:

I've got the same MSR folding spoon, Travis. I love that it fits in my SP700 with the rest of my kitchen gear. No more letting my spork disappear in the bottom of my food bag or get stuck in with my tent stakes. For everything I eat on the trail a spoon is sufficient, I can't remember ever really needing the tines on my spork.Adam
Doug,Jetboil utensils look tempting. Looks like they might be food traps though ... have any difficulty getting them thoroughly clean?
I've known for a while that I'm odd and nonpareil.I don't use utensils. I go with no cook foods. I leverage my utility knife to cut a smoked salmon package, most of the time it has a pre-cut pull tab, I finger-rip the ready-to-eat chicken in a foil pouch, and spam singles foil packet squeeze it out and eat it like a sandwich. I use my teeth to cut. I use the single servings of jelly, jam and Nutella but instead of spreading with a knife, I break off bagel bread pieces and dip in the single servings.One time I experimented with disposable chop sticks, to eat left-over rice mixed-in with ground beef in a vacuumed sealed pouch, that was ok and I buried the biodegradable wooden chopstick when I was done.I used powder drink mix in a bottle and I shook the bottle instead of spoon stir in a cup.In many cases, you can pre-cut up your food at home in bite size pieces such as Jerky, and plan to eliminate a kitchen knife. On another old thread, many people mentioned they prefer to keep the kitchen knife separate from the utility knife to avoid cross contamination.It depends what's on the menu, how it's prepared, and how will you eat it. I don't even use a plate.
Edited by RogerDodger on 04/23/2013 09:54:44 MDT.
I saw this reviewed and am intrigued. Thinking of replacing the spork I normally use with it. Only thing, it's a bit heavy, I even wonder if the weight (4.1 oz) could be a typo. Thoughts?http://www.rei.com/product/830806/gsi-outdoors-titanium-kung-foon-and-chopsticks-set
Leslie, I've seen that in person and its got a pretty bulky metal case that may be included in the weight. I've been on a trip with a guy who has one twice. The first time was right after he got it and he had the whole case and used the chopsticks with the spork to make a super long utensil. The second time I only saw him use the spork part without the chopsticks. I think it would be lighter to pick up an extra pair of chopsticks the next time you eat Chinese food and buy a separate long-handled spoon.Adam
On the trail the slide is hard to clean unless you have a brush of some sort, otherwise it's not bad
Did you know Kupilka made silverware? Neither did until I stopped at the outdoor store to check out their spoon selection. For $10 I got the whole set. The large spoon weighs 17 grams and feels more like a regular spoon in the hand than any other I've tried. It's not collapsible, but I've taken to carrying my spoon in my hip pocket anyway, so that's not really an issue. Below are a couple photos.
Spelt -- Nice set of spoons. My set below. Not happy with the long handle, can't fit enough in the bowl. The short handle is better scoop, but the handle is well, short. The green one is the odd ball, but pretty useless. It came with a bunch (group) of kiwi fruit.
I have settled on a large spoon/fork combo from Light My Fire. It was the larges spoon I could comfortably fit in my mouth. The large size makes it easy slurp soups and lets me shovel food into my mouth before it gets cold on Winter trips. The wide handle also makes it easier to hold when your hands are shaking from hunger or cold.I cut the fork end off as I never use it and it kept trying to poke my gear.
I have a Lexan spoon exactly like the dark blue spoon on the left in Dale W's photo except it has a long handle.Lexan doean't get hot, it is nearly imposible to break and some have a nice long handle. The spoon resides in my right side pocket next to my stove bag. (Yes, I attatch side pockets to all my backpacks.)
That knife is the Victorinox Little Vickie. It is the 3.5" Victorinox paring knife with a sheath added. The total weight is 1oz. REI sells them: http://m.rei.com/mt/www.rei.com/product/836226/victorinox-little-vickie-utility-knife
Robert Van Putten asked, "Dale, I don't know how a feller could manage with a short and possibly even folding eating utensils. How the devil do you dig out and spread peanut butter from a jar in freezing weather with such a flimsy, short tool?"The folding Ti spoon isn't particularly flimsy and my goal was to have something that would fit in a 450ml mug along with a windscreen and Esbit wing stove. I don't carry jars of peanut butter, so shoveling oatmeal, pasta and soup are the most rigorous tasks I demand of it. It is far stronger than the Light My Fire plastic spoon shown and would hold its own with or better the Lexan one, but I haven't done a spoon destruction test :)For tough and universal use, I would go with a simple stamped stainless steel spoon of tablespoon size. A 60 second search in the spoon bin at Goodwill would come up with a handful at $0.29 each.
My favorite spoon is the ti long handle spoon. It fits in my kitchen ditty bag but does stick up higher than my stove. I'm going to look into the Msr folding spoon, it looks promising!
My favorite is the middle sized Sea to Summit AlphaLight spoon. The bowl is a normal shape, the right size for me, a little smaller than a table spoon, not the squared off bowls on the long and short ones from that maker. I prefer buying anodized aluminum over Ti.6 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches, .3 oz, 9.6 grams, about $7

My current favorite spoon is a white, long handled lexan spoon (REI?). Reaches into the bottom of freeze dried meal bags. Kind of a pain to pack, it kind of has to ride alone and seems to always get separated from the rest of the cooking gear - can take a while to find. Misplaced it on a fall trip in 2011 - found it last summer about 100 feet from the camp site where it was lost.
My preferred style is not to depend on a trail utensil. However, I am a geek, and like a good deal on items I don't need. at the 73 cents price, I got one of each.These are at the REI Outlet store, and the second one (Orange) is on Deal of the Week.$0.73 on sale (now $1.73)GSI Outdoors Telescoping Spoon BLACK - 2012 Closeout6.5 - 10.75 x 2.8 inches1.3 ounceshttp://www.rei.com/product/860575/gsi-outdoors-telescoping-spoon-2012-closeoutFYI: this one is HUGE. it's a 4 oz measuring cup on a stick :)$0.73 on sale (now $1.73)GSI Outdoors Telescoping Spoon ORANGE - 2012 Closeout3.9 (expands to 6) x 1.6 x 0.6 inches0.3 ounce http://www.rei.com/product/860582/gsi-outdoors-telescoping-spoon-2012-closeout

Right now I am using the short-handled titanium spoon. I don't eat out of bags so don't need the long handle. I don't mind that the bowl is smallish. I like the flattened end to the spoon. It cleans out my pot a lot better. It fits inside my titanium pot or inside my plastic cup or plastic screw-top jar. I have a plastic folding spoon, too, but have not tried it yet.
I'm with Robert V. P....I use the same lexan spoon he does, and am completely content. I like the deep bowl on it, and it has some good capacity for scooping. It's an odd size for measuring though, being 2/3 of a Tablespoon. I carefully shave the "sprue" line off my lexan ware, or use sandpaper, until its nice and smooth. That line between the top and bottom molds can be sharp.

I have a long handled S2S ti spoon. When I was using a canister stove, I stored it in my FBC cozy. When I went to a system where everything fits in my pot, I filed it down to fit inside (shaved 0.2oz off the weight). It's not long handled anymore and sometimes I get food on my knuckles when I stir but I do like knowing it's inside my kit.
If you do freezer bag cooking, kneading works to mix things up.tear the bottom corner off ziplock and squeeze the food into your mouth works pretty good.

Final Score: Arizona State 45, Illinois 14
Tempe, AZ (Sports Network) - Taylor Kelly and Michael Eubank combined to throw for 318 yards and three touchdowns as the Arizona State Sun Devils easily dismissed the Illinois Fighting Illini, 45-14, in non-conference action at Sun Devil Stadium.
Taylor made the start for the Sun Devils (2-0) and converted 18-of-24 passes for 249 yards and a score, while Eubank hit on all five of his attempts for 69 yards and a couple of TDs for the hosts. Chris Coyle was their favorite target as he reeled in 10 passes for 131 yards and two scores.
The Illini (1-1) were paced by Josh Ferguson who logged a game-high 101 yards rushing on 14 carries in the setback. Quarterbacks Reilly O'Toole and Miles Osei combined to throw for a mere 101 yards and three interceptions, while being sacked a collective six times.
Illinois was forced to play without Nathan Scheelhaase due to an ankle injury the quarterback sustained in the win over Western Michigan.
ASU bolted out to a 14-0 lead after one period of play as Kelly hit Kevin Ozier with a five-yard TD strike, followed by a one-yard TD run by Cameron Marshall.
Illinois cut into the lead with a 17-yard scoring run by Donovonn Young early in the second frame, but the Sun Devils were ready and willing to respond with a pair of TDs of their own.
Eubank and Coyle registered a pair of aerial touchdowns of one and three yards in length in a span of just 2:30 to give the hosts a 28-7 advantage at the break.
In the third frame Arizona State continued to pile on with a one-yard TD run by DJ Foster.
The Illini did manage to respond once more, thanks to a five-yard TD toss from O'Toole to Eddie Viliunas, making the score 35-14, but that's as close as the visitors would get.
ASU kicker Alex Garoutte made good on a 35-yard field goal try in the fourth with just under 11 minutes remaining, while Eubank slipped into the end zone from seven yards out to complete the lopsided affair for the Sun Devils.
The Sun Devils generated 510 yards of total offense and picked up the easy victory despite controlling the ball for less than 25 minutes on the night.
