Post subject: Random ES Questions
This thread is for questions about the ES universe that don't relate to the story. For an example, here's my question.
When is Nanashi from? Meaning, what time period did she come from, like, compared to us.

We know her father is a samurai. So she has to have come from a time period when there were samurai. That's a pretty big swath of time.
I like to think that Nanashi might have been trained to use a naginata, because that weapon developed for use by the samurai class and is traditionally associated with Japanese women. Also, in some traditions, learning the naginata also requires the student to learn at least the basics of using a sword, so as to better understand how to use the naginata against a swordsman. That would give Nanashi some basis for her skill with the siderean swords. You can read more than you're ever likely to want to know about the history of the naginata
. The first page of that, by the way, includes accounts of a couple of really tough (but possibly fictional) Japanese warrior women from the late 12th/early 13th centuries. Nanashi could easily be a contemporary of theirs. Or, indeed, one of them.

I wonder if we can't age her by the names she's given people...
Fellucca, in particular, is named after one of the moons from World of Warcrack, IIRC. Which puts her firmly... About now, really.

I would point out that I believe the Lady has already told us that Nanashi's weapons training doesn't begin until AFTER she and her father apparently left Japan. I'm fairly sure the Lady mentions she travels through India and China and other countries.
I said on Forum V.1, but I don't think 12/13th century Japan is very likely because of Japan's foreign relations and civil wars back then. If she had been trained in Japan and in those times to fight as she does, I think it more likely she was an entertainer than nobility. The 12th century was the end of the Heian era, where women going through a wonderful period of flourishing literature, but I don't remember hearing about self-defense or combative training. Certainly not for nobility living close to or in the capital.
Kung-fu techniques don't leave monasteries until the 15th century, after the Ming crackdown.
I would point out that the 'Samurai Code' was a lot like the 'Pirate Code' - it was more like a set of guidelines. A lot of the images of samurai that we tend to get in the West are slightly romanticised Meiji literature (which looked back on samurai in the same way the Victorians looked back on chivalry) and post-war period dramas and films.
It is very possible that Japan had women warriors during its history, but each situation tends to be unique, trying to place them to a specific time period where 'it's easier for there to be women warriors here!' is very difficult. Women warriors weren't discussed in my history class, I will admit. But the earliest example of the naginata in Tin's article sites women living in Echigo and other extremely removed provinces, which would have been extremely atypical given how removed from they were from what was considered Japanese noble society.
In my own opinion, I'd say that Nanashi is most likely to be from just before the fall of the Tokugawa. There was more illicit trade activity with foreign powers, and there would be more chance of her learning these techniques while traveling.

"Felucca" is also a word in Arabic -- it refers to a type of small boat used in Egypt to sail up and down the Nile.
Here's a pic.
Kind of jaunty and self-confident, aren't they? Just like our purple girl with the wings.
And there was a lot of trade between India and Egypt, across the Red Sea, starting in late antiquity and going through, well, now. So If Nanashi made it as far as India, she might have met and talked with an Egyptian sailor, and picked up the word there.
The Tokugawa period would be a good origin time, too. Lots of interesting stuff going on then.
But really, Lady Yates is the only one who could answer this question for sure. I don't know that she's picked a particular period yet. It would probably be a good idea, though. Nanashi's the only character who has fully intact memories of her pre-Earthsong life (excepting her name). So knowing when and where exactly she came from would be helpful for developing the character. Pick a time and place, do a little reading on it, and then Nanashi can occasionally refer to her past. It would deepen the character a good bit.

My random Earthsong question: I remember the Lady once saying that Beluosus infected the soulstones of the Mandragora by coating them in his own element, I can't remember if that was in the original or the redux, so first of all I'd like to know that.
Second, if their soulstones are coated in Beluosus' element, does that mean they can touch his manifest stone?

Sorry! I keep thinking that I've replied to the questions here and I haven't.
As for what time period Nanashi is from, I generally defer to Ravenna on this issue, as she knows oodles more about Japanese history than myself. So if both she and Tin agree on the Tokugawa period, then so be it!
The name Felucca I actually got from a really old game named Ultima. THere's a moon in it named Felucca. Little did I know that it's also a word for an arabic sailboat at the time ( I have since been on one as well!)
As for soulstone infection, that is indeed still how Bel does it. A thin coating that he can "activate" and cause the conflicting resonance between the two elements to create an immense pain the host. This doesn't give them an ability to touch his manifest stone though - it would cause that same pain, but to a much greater (and crispier) degree.

*put two and two together*
So... that might mean Willow is immune to infection (not to the coating, but to the pain), depending on whether she can touch anybody's manifest stone or just Earthsong's...

I have a question about the ES universe. How can everyone understand each other? What about the language barrier?
For example how can a human, (whose home planet has multiple languages) talk/communicate to an entirely different species without any problems? (translation, slang, etc)
Any theories? Explanations? I know the reason (so The Lady can tell the story) but I would like an in universe mechanic.

Earthsong (and Bel) translates all of their speech into Estrellian, the language of the planets. ^_^
Wait, I can do better than that...
The almighty Lady wrote:
Everyone is actually speaking a language called Estrellian - its the universal language of the planets/stars/whatever. Estrellian is what all sentient species start out speaking but obviously the language is lost/adapted/mutated/whathaveyou over time.
They are all able to speak this language due to their proximity to either Bel or ES, who, due to their manifest stones, are acting as "universal translators". Sort of - it's not actually a "translation"; it's the actual ability to speak and understand this language. Anyhow, if they got TOO far away from either, they'd revert back to speaking their native tongue.
And before you ask, yes they can also READ Estrellian, and that's what most of the books in the library are written in.

No no, necromancy only applies to pointless threads, when the gap is more than normal. Five days doesn't count as necromancy. Five WEEKS is different, if it's for a thread like, say, "OMG Twilight is amazing!!!1!!!1"*

More than 600 brave revelers took the plunge into Lake Michigan last year for the annual Jan. 1 Jacksonport Polar Bear Swim at Lakeside Park. / File/Your Key to the Door Weekly
More than 600 brave revelers took the plunge into Lake Michigan last year for the annual Jan. 1 Jacksonport Polar Bear Swim at Lakeside Park. / File/Your Key to the Door Weekly
The Jacksonport Polar Bear Club holds its 27th annual plunge into Lake Michigan at noon Jan. 1, with hundreds of people splashing into the frigid waters off Lakeside Park in Jacksonport. About twice as many will cheer the swimmers on from the shoreline.
The plunge is now one of the better-known ones across the country, and a re-enactment, filmed on location, was a focal point of the 2009 movie Feed the Fish, which starred Tony Shalhoub and was filmed largely in Door County.
The first plunge took place Dec. 26, 1986, because J.R. Jarosh couldnt run faster than his father, Joe, losing a bet with him that required J.R. to brave the waters.
That first effort was witnessed by just two people, J.R.s brother Jon and John Wickstrom, and otherwise little noticed, although Door County Advocate correspondent Martha Lambiotte mentioned it in her column of Jan. 15, 1987, and dubbed Jarosh the first member of the Jacksonport Polar Bear Club.
Jarosh plunged in again by himself the next two Decembers, but things began growing with Jaroshs dip into the lake Dec. 28, 1989. This time, about 20 people gathered to watch as Advocate columnist Heidi Reiche (now Heidi Hodges) and Richard Herschleb joined Jarosh in braving the waters, and a Green Bay TV station came up to film the event.
The next year, 12 people came out to become members of what was now an official Polar Bear Club, among them WFRV-TV Channel 5 sports anchor Larry McCarren for his Challenge the Rock segment. Then, for the seventh plunge, Jarosh switched the date to Jan. 1, 1993, and its been held every New Years Day since.
The number of participants has risen over that time, growing from the low 100s into the 200s through the 1990s, then jumping to about 600 for the 2000 edition and reaching about 900 in 2010.
Jarosh said those thinking about taking part who havent before should visit the club website, which has an Tips and Forms page. The required liability release for swimmers is downloadable from the site, which Jarosh said will save time if filled out in advance. T-shirts, caps and other memorabilia are available. While swimmers need to be careful of the temperatures, Jarosh said the Jacksonport Fire Department does what it can to make sure they remain unharmed.
The Jacksonport Polar Bear Club Plunge takes place promptly at noon Jan. 1 at Lakeside Park, Wisconsin 57 in Jacksonport. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. There is no charge to participate, but participants and onlookers are asked to make a donation or bring one nonperishable food item for Feed My People. All swimmers must sign a liability release form before participating in the event. After expenses, all funds raised by concessions and memorabilia sales go to the Jacksonport Fire Department and Feed My People.

This memory begins waking up with great anticipation. Wondering what would be the perfect holiday short set to wear that day. Being excited because my cousins, Robert and Gina would be at Mimi's to play with. There would be uncles and aunts there, ones of the regular and great varieties that came from within the state and beyond.
As everyone in my house got ready, Mama would load the car up with food that she was told to bring, probably her potato salad, casseroles and maybe even a dessert. My little sister Tara and I would get in the car and off we were to Mimi and Big Daddy's house in the country east of Shaw. We would listen to the radio or drive Mama crazy while we sang school songs.
Arriving at my grandparents we would have to find a place to park with the many cars that had come to visit. I would hop out of the car parked under a pecan tree and the humid heat would slap you in the face but this elementary school kid didn't even notice. The smell of my Uncle Brother's grill would greet you as you walked towards the house and then you would see him sitting watching this barrel looking grill. Talking and catching up with other uncles that had already arrived, he would periodically poke and turn the BBQ. The house was equally as intoxicating. Mimi and all my aunts were busy in the kitchen. Pasta would be boiling, cause in any good Italian home there had to be some pasta served — spaghetti gravy simmering, casseroles in the oven and desserts lined up on the counter in an endless line. Mimi would be preparing the custard for her famous peach and strawberry homemade ice cream. Eventually it would be the grandkids job to watch the ice cream machines.
As lunch grew near, a huge long table would be set up in the cleared out den. My Uncle Sonny from Houma, La., built it just for these occasions so we could all break bread together. Everyone one would assemble there. My Aunt Pat would start us off with our traditional Catholic meal prayer. Just as we all said "Amen" and made the sign of the cross, Uncle Sonny would loudly say "Thank you JC!" That always made me smile cause he knew how to add humor in most situations.
It was the quietest you would ever hear the house that day. Everyone enjoying all the different foods that lay before us. We ate until we were absolutely stuffed. The adults vowing that they wouldn't have dinner, but that would happen anyway later that night. The ladies in the house would clear the table and begin the process of cleaning the kitchen.
That process always seemed like it wasn't a task that day. They all joined in, talked and laughed about their families and it seemed done in a flash. They would stay in the kitchen have dessert and coffee over more conversations that were led by the day's events.
While the ladies were doing their thing and men broke up into different things. As usual, my stepfather left after lunch to play in a golf tournament. Uncle Brother and others found soft, cool places to nap, while the rest would find something sports related to watch on TV.
My cousins and I would play some inside and but mostly outside. I liked to swing in the big swing under the oak tree. We always walked to the store to visit Big Daddy who was working in his country grocery that was yards from the house. There were always cats and a dog to pet and pester, a dirt pile to dig in, toad frogs to try to catch and fields to explore.
The afternoon would be slow and lazy. It was warm not because of summer weather but because we were all together. Later that night my cousins and I would play with sparklers, while my uncle shot some fireworks that we thought were too cool! We would go in and watch the 4th of July special on TV, which would remind everyone in the house of the people that made this country what it is.
Looking back I realize we didn't have a glamorous holiday but it couldn't have been more American. Biondini's and Montesi's of all generations enjoying each others company, eating the over abundance of foods we had assembled there, thanking God for it and remembering how great our country is.
Happy Fourth and thank you JC!

At your Sheriff's Office, we work every day in many different ways to keep the county safe. These actions take the form of Bradley County School Resource Officers being on high alert for any suspicious person or activity.
Also, the deputies who have schools in their assigned areas of patrol are very much attuned to the potential for danger.
Our SWAT team continues to prepare for school emergencies as well, while our plainclothes detectives are trained and ready to help prevent or stop any tragic event.
I want Bradley County residents to know the safety of our kids is top priority with the BCSO. We will continue to adjust and adapt to meet the need that arises.
As I predicted a few weeks ago, a number of our politicians have come up with knee-jerk, half-baked ideas to grab the headlines. Now, with that said, we still need a public discussion on how best to handle the "crazies" who commit horrible crimes.
Some proposals are being made that merit follow-up and more discussion. It is true there are a number of former military and ex-law-enforcement people, select teachers, and/or administrators in our school system who could be bonded and annually trained to be ready to respond to a crisis.
The potential for liability is great and must be addressed. Since we in law enforcement are the ones responsible by law for public safety, not teachers, any new laws will have to address some important issues. Do we allow people with handgun permits who do not regularly train for a crisis situation to carry them in schools, as some suggest? Or do we require them to be deputized, bonded and trained regularly, as it is required for our deputies and other law enforcement personnel?
I, personally, am for select people in our school system being deputized, bonded and trained to respond and/or assist our SROs in any crisis. This, along with new protocols in school safety, could very well deter crime.
I do not believe your average teacher wants the burden and responsibility of confronting armed killers. They are there as educators, and they do not want such a burden placed on them. Hopefully, it will not have to ever come to that in Tennessee.
Yet, just a few days ago we heard once again of the importance of having a firearm and being instructed in its use. A burglar broke into the house of a young woman with two children. Her husband had just taken her to a gun range a couple of weeks before her house and privacy were violated by this intruder. She shot the burglar and possibly saved the lives of her children and herself. So, I believe a few more select people in our schools armed and ready to assist SROs could potentially have the same effect in saving lives.
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a strong supporter of the right to keep and bear arms for individuals, not just the military or law enforcement. It is part of our Constitution and was confirmed by the Supreme Court.
I am something of a gun collector. I have a large safe full of them. I respect them and any law-abiding citizen having them and/or collecting them. As I have mentioned several times before, I am a state-certified instructor on gun safety and have trained thousands to be able to obtain their handgun permits.
I have been shot at and missed, I have been shot at and hit and I still carry that bullet in me. I know firsthand the dangers of a firearm in the wrong hands. I also know of the sense of peace and safety that the ownership of a firearm and ... obtaining gun permits brings to people all around our nation.
I have been one of the fortunate ones all my life in that I have not been bullied, nor have I lived in fear of personal harm. However, I have seen that fear in the face of many and I have heard that fear voiced. Therefore, it is a personal goal of mine to eradicate that fear wherever I find it. "Let none live in fear" is very personal to me. That is the reason I teach the handgun safety class.
I take the Constitutional Office of the Sheriff very seriously and I have many responsibilities, which includes an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of Tennessee.
To keep up with these responsibilities is the reason I speak often about the importance of priority funding for the BCSO. I have nothing to gain personally.
My pay remains the same whatever is funded.
We live in dangerous times and in times of rapid growth that are bringing many new challenges our way. To properly keep up we must be funded enough to keep our trained people and meet the new challenges we face.
Thanks for reading.

Projection Screens
Jul 30, 2012 9:44 AM, By Mark Johnson
The days of the 4:3-aspect-ratio glass-beaded projection screen on a wobbly tripod are fast going the way of the rotary dial telephone or the audiocassette. Technology advancements abound for projection surfaces, starting with the aspect ratio. While there are still plenty of 4:3 images being projected around the world, there are also high-definition widescreen 16:9 and 16:10 pictures, and as a result of projection mapping technology, warping and edge-blending technologies and images of any size or shape are fair game now.
The advancements in screen technologies can create a double-edged sword. The potential to get big, sharp, bright images under practically any viewing circumstance has increased, so have the options from which to choose. While some manufacturers specialize on a particular type of screen technology, many offer a wide range of screen types, making doing the research on what option is the best solution for a specific situation even more important. It's advisable to check the manufacturers websites for additional information on their specific product offerings. Many of the manufacturers websites also provide in-depth info on screen technologies and applications as well as calculators to help you choose the right product for your application.
As noted, most of the manufacturers provide different types of screen compositions combined with multiple options of mounting or stand systems, so you are almost guaranteed to get whatever your needs dictate. Projection surface options include white matte and gray surfaces and optical, lenticular, flat, and curved. White matte is still the most popular with about 80 percent of the screens sold incorporating that surface. Screen types are available for front or rear projection, fixed installation or portable, manual or electric operation, and commercial or residential applications. Many of the choices for the type of screen you need will be prescribed by the application.
Specifications such as screen gain, contrast, and viewing angle are important considerations when selecting a screen. High gain? Low gain? What does it all mean? Given all the scenarios in which projection systems can (and will) be applied, at first glance you might think that it would be best to just go for as much gain as possible and you'll be good to go. Like most other aspects of system design, there are often other things at play that will help to drive the decision, and projection systems are certainly no exception. For instance, a low gain screen may offer better contrast or a wider viewing angle, which may be required if the facility you are outfitting is particularly wide.
Basically, screen gain is measured at the front and center of the screen, and the resulting number represents a ratio of light reflected from the screen in comparison to light reflected from a standard white magnesium oxide board. The half-gain viewing angle is where the gain measurement is at 50 percent of the peak value. This angle represents an image that is half as bright as the image front and center. This specification is also important when determining the coverage area of the screen. This technology showcase provides a cross section of some of the types of projection screens available. The FullWhite borderless projection screen from AV Stumpfl is designed for fixed or portable applications. The projection surface is attached to the frame with either a hook-and-loop tape system or hooks. The plug-in frame system provides the ability to construct a frame of practically any aspect ratio. Multiple mounting options allow for wall, ceiling, or stand mounting.

A friend of mine was telling me to ride the Waterville valley resort area. Has anyone tried it before? I'm looking for somewhere that I can ride and my wife and 11 yr old daughter can have something to do ( they don't ride).
If they're still running lift service there's some pretty good trails for all levels of riders. They've had lots of re-routes due to developments recently. I was last up there four years ago. The guy who runs or ran the lifts is married to a pro DH racer. They had maps of the trails. They use the cross country ski trails after you get off the lift. If I remember Elephant Run is for a little more advanced riders. I'd give them a ring on the phone. Old link is gone here's a new one http://www.waterville.com/summer-pla...chairlift.html
Waterville is nice for brining the family. I would never think of going there for real DH, but they do a great kid/non-rider friendly cruiser off the lift (Livermore road) and if you stay in the valley (we like the Black Bear Lodge) the lodging comes with a bunch of free passes for a couple hour bike rental, a chairlift ride, paddle boats etc. Bunch of nice easy XCish stuff around the resort area, maps at the bike shop, everything is walking distance, very scenic. You can put together some serious backcountry-style XC rides in the area on some of the hiking trails and dirt roads out there, just be prepared to be in the middle of nowhere by yourself, riding hard. (Sing out if you want some more details).
Definitely check out Jiminy Peak also. TONs of stuff at the base to do (alpine slide, mountain coaster, etc) and they run the lower lift til dark, so it's easy to do some family time plus get some riding in. Not up on the details for XC, tho I know they did the Pedrosfest in the area for years, but if you're looking DHing, Jiminy is leaps and bounds (and more leaps) beyond Waterville. Bit pricier, specially for the activities, but it's also nice.
I'm going up at the end of August with my family. The website makes it sound family friendly. My wife mainly does fire roads and my son (7y.o.) is a little more adventurous but definitely not hardcore. condo's are cheap this time of year and there is a lot to do there and in the surroinding area (would recommend a trip to Sx Gun City and Clark's trading post).
I'll try to remember to post up after our trip.
There is a ton of stuff just outside the valley, right off rt 49, Sandwich notch rd. I can't be spefic because I usually am following in a group. Sorry. Check out http://rhinobikeworksnh.com/ in Plymouth they are very helpful. Also, if you have the kids the Gyro trial in Plymouth would be a blast for them. There is also fox park in Plymouth.
The valley has some nice intermidate trails and the lift access off of Snows mountain is limited but still fun & cheap.
I have ridden there many times, and it is a good place for the family. The majority of the bike trails are the cross country skiing trails. As such, and since it's in the mountains it does have some climbs, like up the back side of Snow's Mountain, or up from the Town Center to the WV main ski area.
However, you can make a route that is relatively flat if the family wants one, more or less along the streams that run through. Best place to enter these trails is on the road to the left after the tennis courts.
Snow's is lift serviced and technically a downhill route, but doesn't really compare with other lift serviced venues in variety, challenge, etc. It pretty much just goes down the beginner ski hill.
There's a nice little town center, easy to walk around, and stuff for kids to do. The gym and pool there are also quite nice and generally are included with condo rentals.
Have fun.
Mad River Tavern off 49 excellant food
Sugar shack off 175 gaint breakfast
The Stix off 49 great breakfast but takes for ever
Mad River Coffee 49 across from D & D way better
Sunset Grille off 49 is hit or miss
William Tell off 49 is the only 4 star returant around
The owl's nest CC is pretty good
Really not impressed with anything in the valley
The coyote grille smells like a pool
There is a new italian resturant off 3 heading to woodstock that I have heard good things about
The woodstock Inn is my favorite choice. The downstairs bar has the best service. I love the pigsear beer as well as the homemade rootbeer
I ride in "the valley" alot and you should find the xc ski trails family friendly. If you are looking for some tough classic New England trails check out the Smart's Brook area. The trail head is on rt. 49 just past Sandwich Notch Road. Stop in at Rhino Bike Works in Plymouth and get trail info. The shop ride goes up there sometimes so Eric, Slade or Mike should be able to send you in the right direction there. They can tell you about the other trails in the area as well....
I am headed to waterville valley this weekend with the family. Besides just going to the mountain and doing the lift served riding, any other suggestions? Something that does not use the car, that I can ride straight from our condo.
Also, my 7 year old likes to ride. Is there any easy dirt road riding to recommend with him? Or smooth singletrack. He likes riding.
Resurrecting an old thread. I thought something might have changed in the last two years.
I think my old post is still relevant, so ride from the village past the tennis courts and take a left. Trails are off to the left and right. There are also trails off many of the roads there.
I'd go to the village center and stop in at the bike shop if I were you.
Here's a link to their site on the issue.

Many kids have the complete wrong sense of what emo is. Many earlier emo bands only released their songs on vinyl, and they were distributed minimally, so the origin of emo is lost among most people. This is my attempt at tracing it back to the start, in hopes to educate you. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of important bands and years missing, but hopefully it will give you a vague idea of how it all started out.
With that said, let's move onto the history of emotive hardcore. Heres where the term emo came from: When Minor Threat broke up in 1983, the hardcore punk scene was getting pretty stale. In 1984, Husker Du released "Zen Arcade," which somewhat set the blueprint for emo bands to follow. This album had the rough vocals, but it had more melody, and was a bit slower than their previous works. Many people give credit to this as the first emo album.
In the spring of 1984, a band called Rites of Spring was formed, containing members of previous hardcore bands The Untouchables/Faith and Deadline. This band kept the speed and stylings of hardcore punk rock, but the vocals were a lot more emotional, and at times even broke into a throaty moan. The lyrics also strayed from politics, and took a more emotional/profound look at life. Rites of Spring gets a lot of credit for being the first emotive hardcore band. Ian Mckaye, formerly of Minor Threat, got into a band called Embrace. Definitely different than Minor Threat, Embrace took a more emotional side to the lyrics as well, and were a lot more melodic. These bands, and much of the other bands on Dischord Records are now labeled as "The Classic DC Sound." This was the first wave of emo bands.These bands focused more on emotion, than punk rock energy. Legend has it that while Rites of Spring, or Embrace, or Moss Icon were playing a show, someone from the crowd shouted "You're emo!" and that's how the term got started. The show where it happened, and which bands were playing always differ with whoever you talk to, so I have no idea how true it is. Don't take my word on it.
From there, more and more emo bands started forming around North America. Moss Icon, which formed in 1986, started the loud/soft alternating twinkly guitar parts, and crashing distortion side of emo. Indian Summer and Native Nod, who were around 1995-96 are good examples of this, and focused more on the emotional part of the music, rather than the hardcore part, but were still hardcore. Emo was now a bit broader.
Bands like Heroin(1992), Angel Hair(1997?), and Antioch Arrow(1995?) on Gravity Records focused more on the hardcore part of the genre, but were still very emo. The music is pretty chaotic, with just enough melody to pullthings through, and the vocals are usually hoarsely screamed.
1997 marks the release of Saetias fist 7" record, and the debut of level-plane records. I highly recommend that you pink Saetias "A retrospective" cd. At any rate, Level-plane records is probably the most famous emo label out there, and is still going strong today. It has released many important and influential albums, and is a huge part of todays emo scene.
A lot of bands are getting called emo by the mainstream, when in fact they are not. The term emo has leaked into the mainstream, and a lot of emo kids see this as the end of the emo scene, somewhat like what happened with punk rock, and bands like simple plan. I used that example because mainstream bands i.e. Simple Plan get called punk, when really, they're not punk at all.
Emo is completely distorted from it's original meaning, and the media is calling many bands that have no relevance to emo whatsoever, emo. Take Dashboard Confessional for example. Chris Carraba just plays acoustic ballads. There is nothing hardcore about it. The music may be very "emotional" and heartfelt, but even so, it is not emo. The same goes for indie bands like Death Cab For Cutie, and Bright Eyes. Conor Oberst is a brilliant songwriter, and I love his work, but again, there is nothing hardcore about his music. Another common misconception about emo, is that bands like Taking Back Sunday, and My Chemical Romance are emo. To me, these bands are strictly pop punk, although their lyrics may seem very emotional at times, but emo doesn't stand for emotional, now does it?
Another false interpretation of emo is the term "screamo." I'm sure you've all heard this rant before, but I figured that I'd include it anyways. The media has used the term for bands like Thursday, and The Used. Because people call Dashboard Confessional emo, they interpret emo as "whiny watered down music for depressed kids who cut themselves." With that as their idea of emo, it's no wonder that people call The Used, or any other "whiny emotional band" that screams here and there "screamo."
With emo standing for emotive hardcore, the way I see it, screamo would stand for:Emotive hardcore + screaming, right? Wrong. Emotive hardcore contains screamed and/or whispered vocals in it already. Screamo = Emo. Just leave it at that. Even so, bands like The Used that are being labeled as "screamo" by the media aren't emotive hardcore, so the term "screamo" is completely misused. The term "screamo" can be used for a band like orchid, although emo works just as well, but not for something like The Used.
Screamo is made up by the media to sell bands like The Used, Poison The Well, and such, to people who don't know any better. As I said before, with people calling Dashboard Confessional emo, it's no wonder that they call any band that screams "screamo." Alas, this is false.
In summary, Emo stands for emotive hardcore, not emotional. Emotional lyrics do not make a band emo. Dashboard confessional, Bright Eyes, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, From Autumn To Ashes, and Atreyu are NOT emo. Screamo does not exist.

Pandas! on a side note emo is more than just not smiling it's all emotions, rites of spring just tried to emphasize emotions in music rather than political agendas in the punk and hardcore scene where if you weren't on the same page you didn't belong emo brings different people together just writing sincere more poetic music with diversity in among the music and how it's played. emo is often very misunderstood where it's one of the best things that's happened for music.

Emo kid doesn't want to talk about it.
emo kids (by Rob Dobi)
1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.
This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!
Goths hate Everyone
Emos Want to Kill themselves
Goths Want to kill Everyone
boyfriend: I'm too sad to have sex.
girlfriend: I'm sad too; lets have sex and cry.
boyfriend: I'm already crying.
I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands."
Now, onto the real definition.
In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy.
Often, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that's nothing to make an issue of, since well shit, at least it's close.
Since the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided "Well, fuck, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I'll call these bands "emo" - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock..." and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is "emo."
Somehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap.
Hope that helps.
Rites of Spring is emo.

Health Elevations Each issue is devoted to a health care topic and features stories about the work of our nonprofit partners. Learn more »
The Colorado Health Foundation publishes annual updates on the current status of health, health care and health coverage in Colorado using data provided by various sources. The Colorado Health Report Card, which is produced in conjunction with the Colorado Health Institute, provides data on 38 key health indicators, such as prenatal care, access to health care and obesity, in five life stages:
For the first time, you can view detailed data and information for each of the Report Card's 38 indicators in downloadable workbooks for each life stage. You can find these workbooks on the Colorado Health Institute's website as well as within each indicator above.
Colorado's grades suggest that lessons can be learned from the successes of other states. "A Roadmap to Number One," a supplement to the 2013 Colorado Report Card, highlights indicators that greatly contribute to health – youth physical activity, mental health and health insurance coverage – and profiles innovative, effective policies and programs being implemented by states in these key areas. Providing more detail from last year's "What if we were No. 1?" feature, the supplement gives examples of states ranking higher in certain indicators and shares best practices.
You can also go "Behind the Numbers" to explore one important indicator for each life stage by looking at trends over time, disparities and economic impacts as well as summaries of a grantee working in the area:

City of Columbia volunteers recognized for extraordinary efforts!
The Volunteer of the Month program recognizes the efforts of some of the many volunteers who improve the City of Columbia. Visit this page to read about our volunteers of the month!
2012 : 2011 : 2010 : 2009 : 2008 : 2007 : 2006 : 2005 : 2004 : 2003 : 2002 : 2001 : 2000
When Marv and Laura Wells began walking their dog several times a day, they noticed that a large amount of trash littered their road. "It hit us," Marv says, "that there was no reason for us to be living on a trashy street. If it was going to be clean, we would need to do it." In 2007, they contacted the City of Columbia and joined the Adopt-the-Spot Litter Control Program.
They clean both sides of the road on Stewart, between Garth and Providence. With a liquor store, three fast food restaurants, several fraternities and numerous rentals in the vicinity, they often fill a blue recycling bag and a large black garbage bag.
While the Wells have volunteered to clean their adopted spot four times a year, they go above and beyond and often clean several times a month. During football season they clean weekly.
They also volunteer for the Bike, Walk & Wheel Week, Cleanup Columbia, Heritage Festival, and Show Me State Games. Laura volunteers with Boone County Council on Aging where she weekly helps a person shop, pay bills, and do other tasks.
While picking up trash is not grandiose, Marv says, it does make a difference in the city and people do notice. Occasionally, pedestrians, bikers, and people in cars will stop and thank them for cleaning the roadside. "It spurs us on," says Laura.

Joshua and Tara Green, who met on a missions trip, were both raised in families that helped those around them. "My parents never turned anyone away who needed help," Joshua explains. "You share what you have." This spirit of helping the community and contributing back to those around them is what they are passing on to their two boys, Carter and Micah, 5 and 2. Volunteers for the City of Columbia since they moved here in 2005, Joshua and Tara volunteer individually, together, and with the boys. "We are trying to instill a sense of community in the boys, help them not be so egocentric, and see that the world is bigger than themselves," Joshua informs.
Their volunteer work includes: Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Columbia Festival of the Arts, Heritage Festival, Cleanup Columbia, Family Fun Nights, Show Me State Games, and church mission and volunteer work.
Joshua, a teacher at CORE, got his students volunteering. Together they care for an Adopt A Spot at Nifong and Bethel, cleanup Cosmo-Bethel Park, and help twice a week at the Food Pantry. "They take pride in contributing to their community and making a positive impact," Joshia says of his students.
"People say I don't want to give up my weekends or time off, but volunteering usually takes an hour or two," Tara says. "It's showing up and filling a need."

Serving as a Park Patrol for the City of Columbia since 2004, Mary Plakorus blends two of her loves -- being outdoors and helping others. She answers questions, reports suspicious activity, monitors parks and trails, and serves as an ambassador for other park users. If you attend city sponsored activities in the parks, such as Polar Bear Plunge, soccer at Cosmo Park, Family Fun Fests, or Art in the Park, you may see her in her bright yellow vest that says "Park Patrol" busy directing traffic, answering questions, and helping in any way possible.
"As a Park Patrol volunteer, Mary keeps an extra set of eyes on our parks and trails to keep them safe and in good repair," Leigh Britt, Neighborhood Services Manager, explains.
Mary's favorite parks are Stephens and the MKT. "I love being outdoors and being with others," she says. "Being a volunteer is a giant adventure. There is a surprise around every corner. If you are having a bad day, go volunteer. You'll meet a lot of happy people and a few who are having a worse day than yourself. There is a satisfaction that comes from helping others." So why does she volunteer? Mary says she spends too much time in the parks not to.

Terri Watts was raised in a family where they consistently helped others and did service projects, so it was only natural she would assist with the Special Olympics in college. When a friend had a child with special needs, Terri became even more involved.
For the past 19 years, Terri Watts has been volunteering with the Special Olympics Sports Program through Columbia Parks and Recreation. A large group of volunteers comprise the backbone of this program, serving and assisting the 272 active athletes.
Of the nine sports offered, Terri volunteers for eight. Evenings find her coaching softball, basketball, tennis, volleyball, and bowling. She also lends a hand with swimming, track and field, golf, and the Summer Show Me Games. Playing as a tennis partner with a Special Olympic athlete, she also has court time.
"She truly loves being a part of their lives," Jody Cook, Columbia Parks and Recreation Specialist of Special Olympic Sports says of Terri's dedication. "She knows the athletes well. She understands each individual's idiosyncrasy and gifts, assisting them to perform to their maximum capacity."
While Terri inspires her athletes, she admits they also inspire her. "It is exciting to see them do things they didn't know they could do, reach goals they didn't know they could achieve. To watch them open up and blossom."

Belinda Thompson has compassion for Columbia's underprivileged youth and identifies with surviving a hard childhood. This is one of the reasons she is passionate about volunteering at the Youth Journalisim Project, helping youth publish the bi-monthly newspaper Speak Up Be Heard. "All these kids in the class have family problems and financial issues; for them to have a place they can express themselves and be heard is important," Belinda says.
This free class, offered through Parks and Recreation, meets at the Armory. Currently about 18-25 youth from 1st through 12th grade participate on Thursdays from 4-6pm. Five or six youth have regular features. Youth write using paper and pencil, saving their work in portfolios. "They are developing communication, social, and academic skills while having fun," Belinda adds.
Belinda, who is currently getting a graduate degree in teaching and runs an elder business, volunteers because it is important and makes a difference.
Camren Cross, Recreation Supervisor for the Parks and Recreation Department says that Belinda's work empowers the kids. "She's got the kids writing, looking forward to it, and she's getting issues out for the community." Seeing their work in publication gives them a taste of success. "This will hopefully happen in other areas of their life as well," Camren adds, "driving them to want bigger successes in the future."

Perhaps you've noticed some of the bright spots along Columbia's roads that are bursting with colorful plants during the growing season; tulips waving their vivid hues, roses with multiple blooms, bushes with dainty green leaves. These colorful garden spots, located at intersections, roundabouts and medians, are usually one of the City's Adopt-a Spots, where businesses, organizations, and families donate of their time and resources to create a little oasis of color in the commute of others.
When Paris Road and Whitegate/Heriford were widened about ten years ago, Columbia Insurance Group adopted the two triangular beds at the intersection. Because one of their core values is being a good corporate citizen, they wanted "to try and make a bright spot in people's commutes," says Judy Donnell, Director of General Services at Columbia Insurance Group. "Flowers make me happy, so I think it starts people's day off well and brightens Paris road up a bit."
If your family, business, or organization would like to help beautify Columbia's streets by partnering with the city to maintain a small roadside area, Adopt-a Spots are available and are listed online at www.GoColumbiaMo.com. And if there is a specific roadside bed that makes you smile, leave comments for the adopter on the above web site.

With junior golf dying across the nation, John Westin, president of the Columbia Golf Foundation, came up with the idea to offer free golf camps to introduce youth to the sport. For the past three summers, Columbia Golf Foundation has organized and offered these golf camps through Columbia Parks and Recreation at L.A. Nickell Golf Course. To teach the basic skills needed to play golf, camps run one day a week for four weeks and serve Columbia area kids ages 8-17.
"It's fun to see youth on the course and pass the love of golf on," Andrew Baier, who works for the city golf courses and teaches at the camps comments. "90% of the campers have never been on a golf course or held a club. Through learning the game of golf youth learn etiquette, honesty through scoring, and get plenty of exercise." They also have fun. Returning youth to the golf camps is normal.
Through the Columbia Golf Foundation, over 100 youth each summer are introduced to golf in a fun and interactive format. The foundation is also key in helping fund Columbia area high school golf teams at Rockbridge, Tolton, and Hickman.
Because of the Columbia Golf Foundation, numerous youth have been introduced to the game of golf who otherwise would not have had access to the game.

A former chemistry teacher, Bob Bailey knew some of his self-worth came from helping others and doing something that mattered. When he retired, he looked into volunteering. For over four years, Bob has been keeping Columbia's trees healthy as a TreeKeeper and keeping Columbia's trails clean and safe as a Park Patroller.
Park Patrol volunteers are extra eyes and ears on the trail. They help with situations, pass information along, and monitor the trails.
Bob admits he chose volunteer opportunities that mirrored his pre-retirement interests: TreeKeepers for his enjoyment of gardening and the environment, and Park Patrol for his joy of biking. Formerly, as Coordinator of the Environmental Club at Rockbridge, Bob participated in highway cleanups and planted trees around the school. Now he participates in Cleanup Columbia and TreeKeepers. He and his wife have cycled across the US. Now he bikes Columbia's trails as a Park Patrol.
"It allows me to do two things at once," Bob says of volunteering. "You feel like you are part of a larger group. At the end of the day you feel better about yourself because you've done something for others."

I watched Rush's TV show. It was not carried on many stations and those that did for the most part carried it at 2 AM (in fact the only station to give him a decent time slot was WNWO in Toledo, OH). I had to use my VCR to time shift his show which was carried on WKYC in Cleveland.I know of one radio personality that gets huge audiences, has an 'online' version of his show also available that is doing quite well. Yet when he was on TV he was a dud and didn't last long. That person is Rush Limbaugh.
Rush was not a dud on TV, he just tried TV too soon, before there were cable channels that would have carried his show. His show was in the early 90's. That was before FOX News (only CNN at the time who would not have ever considered running his show). There were only around 36 channels on cable at the time. It also was before DVR's, all there was was VCR's. His "affiliates" were OTA stations scattered in various markets (i.e. no nationwide exposure, you had to live in one of the cities that had a station that carried his show). The internet was in it's infancy at the time too.

Your Destiny Save the Date Magnets I ordered the magnet save the date for my guests and I absolutely love them and am so pleased that another friend recommended magnetstreet to me! They got my proof back to me within 1-2 days and when I asked for additional changes they got back to me quickly again. The quality was great, prices were reasonable and it was exactly how I designed it. I have gotten so many compliments on how cute and original our save the date is and I would highly recommend magnetstreet to other brides.
Sketched in Love Save the Date Magnets These magnets gave us a chance to share some of our favorite engagement photos in one place. Magnet Street was the only site I found that had a magnet this large for such an affordable price. The size of this magnet is great and allowed everything to fit and actually be readable. My only issue has more to do with the editing tool and the fact that you cannot resize the template for the pictures. The ability to customize the font and background colors was thankfully a lot more flexible.

stop posting jockstraps and READ the OP's title!
WOW!!!!!! Post 59!!!! Damn! That guy is HOT!
Thos arent thongs, They're jockstraps.
<<< Me in a thong. I love wearing them when I play. They make me feel so sexy!
I love cum facials.
suprised no one named Channing Tatum from pic 62
Wow I sure have been missing out on this thread, there is so much, so little to see!!! And the guy on the the #59 post OMG!!!
sweet thong!!
Right, matrix 1964! The bf and I have been into underwear for some time now. We love thongs. When replacements are needed, we season them well before playing in them. First, we wash them in hot water and dry them. Then they get a soaking in piss. After that we wear them under our ordinary briefs until they are sufficiently ripe, the strap against the shitter brown, the pouch yellow.
I love it when the bf squats over my face and shits, the strap still in place.
VERY hot thread
hot pics, although most are jock straps rather than thongs

My search is over.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've tried a few different brand never to be completely content . . . until now. I did some research and this is the one I settled on. One of the things that sold me was the fact that you can flip it inside-out to clean it. I also like the fact that you can take off the hose while its full and it doesn't leak. I tried using the baffle and just found it to be a pain so I flipped the bladder inside-out and just took some scissors and cut the baffle strips off. That made it even easier to flip inside-out. So now after a ride, I flip it inside-out clean it with soap and water and hang it to dry ready to be used again. I never have to worry about not getting all the water out and having it get yucky or moldy inside.

Needed 3 liters
I have the 2 liter one and ran out of water the other day so I'm buying the 3 liter. I usually purchase 1 or 2 of these per year to keep them fresh.
Does what it does
Its a good little hydro bladder. Dont really like the baffle that keeps it so you cant reverse it but I just cut it off. If you like to keep a tight little shape and not worried about turning it inside out for cleaning then this is perfect. The hose and bite valve flow very little but not too annoying. Overall a good value.
Suney Cheung
Great bladder with one weakness
Great bladder, has not leaked on me so far.
The detachable hose feature is very handy.
Only thing I hate is the bite valve, it is too stiff to turn between on and off, which gets 10x harder if its freezing cold and requires you to take gloves off.
I took it off and replaced it with a camelbak replacement bite valve which is great and there's more water flow
Guy Geva
Maybe it is only me but i never use a hydration blabber in sub zero only a Thermos
Brett Stahl
I bought this to replace my bladder that I left in the car for a little too long. I really love how the top on this opens up completely so you can wash it out fill it up much easier then the traditional screw top bladders.
Is this product manufactured by Hydrapak?...
Is this product manufactured by Hydrapak? Thanks!
Jeremy T
Yes. Hydrapak makes the bladders for Dakine's packs.
Ben Kuhns
Easy to Use Water Bladder
If you are in the market to replace your gross reservoir, you might have some questions for your would-be replacement:
Does it hold water? Yes.
Is it easy to fill? Yes.
Do rainbow colored unicorns burst forth to wage war against flaming gerbils every time I open it? No.
Everything you need from your water reservoir, and no supernatural creature problems. What more could you ask for?
