Hardcore punk (usually referred to simply as hardcore) is a punk rock music genre and subculture that originated in the late 1970s. Hardcore music is generally faster, heavier, and more abrasive than regular punk rock.[4] The origin of the term "hardcore punk" is uncertain. The Vancouver-based band D.O.A. may have helped to popularize the term with the title of their 1981 album, Hardcore '81.[5][6][7] Hardcore historian Steven Blush said that the term "hardcore" is also a reference to the sense of being "fed up" with the existing punk and new wave music.[8] Blush also states that the term refers to "an extreme: the absolute most Punk."[9][10] One definition of the genre is "a form of exceptionally harsh punk rock."[11]
Hardcore sprouted underground scenes across the United States in the early 1980s particularly in Washington, D.C., California, New York, New Jersey, and Boston—as well as in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Hardcore has spawned the straight edge movement and its associated submovements, hardline and youth crew. Hardcore was heavily involved with the rise of the independent record labels in the 1980s, and with the DIY ethics in underground music scenes. It has influenced a number of music genres which have experienced mainstream success, such as alternative rock, grunge, alternative metal, metalcore, thrash metal, post-hardcore, and hip hop.
While traditional hardcore has never experienced mainstream commercial success, some of its early pioneers have garnered appreciation over time. Black Flag's Damaged, Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime and Hüsker Dü's New Day Rising were included in Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003 and Dead Kennedys have seen one of their albums reach gold status over a period of 25 years.[12] In 2011, Rolling Stone's David Fricke placed Greg Ginn of Black Flag, 99th place in 100 Greatest Guitarists list. Although the music started in English-speaking western countries, scenes have also existed in Italy, Brazil, Japan, Europe and the Middle East.
In the vein of earlier punk rock, most hardcore punk bands have followed the traditional singer/guitar/bass/drum format. The songwriting has more emphasis on rhythm rather than melody. Critic Steven Blush writes "The Sex Pistols were still rock'n'roll...like the craziest version of Chuck Berry. Hardcore was a radical departure from that. It wasn't verse-chorus rock. It dispelled any notion of what songwriting is supposed to be. It's its own form."[13] According to Allmusic, the overall blueprint for hardcore was playing louder, harder and faster.[14] Hardcore vocalists often shout,[14] scream or chant along with the music. Hardcore vocal lines are often based on minor scales.[15] Hardcore songs may include shouted background vocals from the other band members.
Guitar parts in hardcore can be complex, technically versatile and rhythmically challenging.[16] Guitar melody lines usually use the same minor scales used by vocalists (although some solos use pentatonic scales).[16] Some hardcore punk guitarists play solos, octave leads and grooves, as well as tapping into the various feedback and harmonic noises available to them. The guitar sound is almost always distorted and amplified, creating what has been called a "buzzsaw" sound.[17] Hardcore bassists use varied rhythms in their basslines, ranging from longer held notes (whole notes and half notes) to quarter notes, to rapid eighth note or sixteenth note runs. To play rapid bass lines that would be hard to play with the fingers, some bassists use a pick.[16] Some bassists emphasize a very technical style of bass playing. Some hardcore punk drummers play fast D beat one moment and then drop tempo into elaborate musical breakdowns the next. Drummers typically play eighth notes on the cymbals, because at the tempos used in hardcore it would be difficult to play a smaller subdivision of the beat.[16]

Many early hardcore punk bands took far left political stances such as anarchism or other varieties of socialism. Notable anarchist punk artists include: Aus-Rotten, Dave Insurgent, Crass, Dick Lucas, Colin Jerwood, and Dave Dictor. Many bands expressed opposition to political leaders such as American president Ronald Reagan and British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Reagan's policies, including Reaganomics and social conservatism, were common subjects for criticism by these bands.[18][19] Jimmy Gestapo of Murphy's Law, however, endorsed Reagan and called Jimmy Carter a "pussy" in a 1986 New York Magazine cover story.[20] Shortly after Reagan's death in 2004, the Maximumrocknroll radio show aired an episode composed of anti-Reagan songs by early hardcore punk bands.[21]
During the 2001–2009 United States presidency of George W. Bush, a number of hardcore bands expressed anti-Bush stances. During the 2004 United States presidential election, several hardcore punk artists and bands were involved with the anti-Bush political activist group PunkVoter.[22][23] A minority of hardcore musicians have expressed right wing views, such as the band Antiseen, whose guitarist Joe Young ran for office as a North Carolina Libertarian.[24] Former Misfits singer Michale Graves appeared on an episode of The Daily Show, voicing support for George W. Bush.[25] Conservative Punk was an American website that tried to merge right-wing politics with the punk subculture.
An issue related to politics is the philosophies of the subculture. One of the important philosophies is authenticity. The pejorative term "poseur" is applied to those who associate with punk and adopt its stylistic attributes but are deemed not to share or understand the underlying values and philosophy. Joe Keithley, the singer for D.O.A. said in an interview that: "For every person sporting an anarchy symbol without understanding it there's an older punk who thinks they're a poseur." [26]
The early 1980s hardcore punk scene developed slam dancing (also called moshing), a style of dance in which participants push or slam into each other, and stage diving. The term mosh came into use in the early 1980s American hardcore scene in Washington, D.C. A performance by Fear on the 1981 Halloween episode of Saturday Night Live was cut short when slam dancers, including John Belushi and members of a few hardcore punk bands, invaded the stage, damaged studio equipment and used profanity.[27][28] Those band members included John Joseph and Harley Flanagan of Cro-Mags and John Brannon of Negative Approach and Ian Mackaye of Minor Threat.[29] Other early examples of American hardcore dancing can be seen in the documentaries Another State of Mind, Urban Struggle, The Decline of Western Civilization, American Hardcore, and 30 Years of Northwest Punk.
Many North American hardcore punk fans adopted a dressed-down style of T-shirts, jeans, combat boots or sneakers and crewcut-style haircuts. Women in the hardcore scene typically wore army pants, band t-shirts, and hooded sweatshirts.[30] The style of the 1980s hardcore scene contrasted with the more provocative fashion styles of late 1970s punk rockers (elaborate hairdos, torn clothes, patches, safety pins, studs, spikes, etc.).
Siri C. Brockmeier writes that "hardcore kids do not look like punks", since hardcore scene members wore basic clothing and short haircuts, in contrast to the "embellished leather jackets and pants" worn in the punk scene.[31] Lauraine Leblanc, however, claims that the standard hardcore punk clothing and styles included torn jeans, leather jackets, spiked armbands and dog collars and mohawk hairstyles and DIY ornamentation of clothes with studs, painted band names, political statements, and patches.[32] Tiffini A. Travis and Perry Hardy describe the look that was common in the San Francisco hardcore scene as consisting of biker-style leather jackets, chains, studded wristbands, multiple piercings, painted or tattooed statements (e.g. an anarchy symbol) and hairstyles ranging from military-style haircuts dyed black or blonde to mohawks and shaved heads.[33] Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris wrote: "the ... punk scene was basically based on English fashion. But we had nothing to do with that. Black Flag and the Circle Jerks were so far from that. We looked like the kid who worked at the gas station or sub. shop."[34] Henry Rollins echoes Morris' point, stating that for him getting dressed up meant putting on a black shirt and some dark pants; Rollins viewed an interest in fashion as being a distraction.[35] Jimmy Gestapo from Murphy's Law describes his own transition from dressing in a punk style (spiked hair and a bondage belt) to adopting a hardcore style (shaved head and boots) as being based on needing more functional clothing.[30]
In the pre-Internet era, fanzines, commonly called zines, enabled hardcore scene members to learn about bands, clubs, and record labels. Zines typically included reviews of shows and records, interviews with bands, letters, and ads for records and labels. Zines were DIY products, "proudly amateur, usually handmade, and always independent" and in the "'90s, zines were the primary way to stay up on punk and hardcore." They acted as the "blogs, comment sections, and social networks of their day."[36]
In the American Midwest, the zine Touch and Go described the Midwest hardcore scene from 1979 to 1983. We Got Power described the LA scene from 1981 to 1984, and it included show reviews and band interviews with groups including D.O.A., the Misfits, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies and the Circle Jerks. My Rules was a photo zine that included photos of hardcore shows from across the US. In Effect, which began in 1988, described the New York City scene. [36] By 1990, Maximum Rocknroll "had become the de facto bible of the scene." Maximum Rocknroll is a thick, monthly, newsprint magazine with subscriptions in many countries all over the world. MRR had a "passionate yet dogmatic view" of what hardcore was supposed to be, while HeartattaCk and Profane Existence were "even more religious about their DIY ethos." HeartattaCk was mainly about emo and post-hardcore. Profane Existence was mostly about crust punk.[36] The Bay Area zine Cometbus "captured an entire dimension of '90s punk culture that provided necessary roughage compared to the empty calories of mainstream punk's MTV/Warped Tour narrative."
Other 1990 zines included Gearhead, Slug and Lettuce and Riot Grrrl. [36] In Canada, the zine Standard Issue chronicles the Ottawa hardcore scene. With the arrival of the Internet, some hardcore punk zines became available online. One example is the e-zine chronicling the Australian hardcore scene, RestAssured.
Hardcore historian Steven Blush states that for West coasters, the first hardcore record was the 1978 single "Out of Vogue" by the Santa Ana band Middle Class.[37] They pioneered a shouted, fast version of punk rock which would shape the hardcore sound that would soon emerge. In terms of impact upon the hardcore scene, Black Flag has been deemed the most influential group. Michael Azerrad, author of Our Band Could Be Your Life, calls Black Flag the "godfathers" of hardcore punk.[38] Blush states that Black Flag defined American hardcore in the same way that the Sex Pistols defined punk.[8] Formed in Hermosa Beach, California by guitarist and lyricist Greg Ginn, they played their first show in December 1977. Originally called Panic, they changed their name to Black Flag in 1978.[39] Black Flag's sound mixed the raw simplicity of the Ramones with atonal guitar solos and frequent tempo shifts.

By 1979, Black Flag were joined by other Los Angeles-area bands playing hardcore punk, including Fear, The Germs and the Circle Jerks (featuring Black Flag's original singer, Keith Morris). This group of bands was featured in Penelope Spheeris' 1981 documentary The Decline of Western Civilization.[40] By the time the film was released, other hardcore bands were making a name for themselves in Los Angeles and neighboring Orange County, including The Adolescents, Angry Samoans, Bad Religion, Dr. Know, Ill Repute, The Middle Class, Minutemen, New Regime, Suicidal Tendencies, T.S.O.L., Wasted Youth, and Youth Brigade. A scholarly source states that most California hardcore bands were formed by white, male, suburban middle class adolescents.[41]
Whilst popular traditional punk bands such as the Ramones, The Clash, and Sex Pistols were signed to major record labels, the hardcore punk bands were generally not. Black Flag, however, was briefly signed to MCA subsidiary Unicorn Records, but were dropped because an executive considered their music to be "anti-parent".[42] Instead of trying to be courted by the major labels, hardcore bands started their own independent record labels and distributed their records themselves. Ginn started SST Records, which released Black Flag's debut EP Nervous Breakdown in 1978. SST went on to release a number of albums by other hardcore artists, and was described by Azerrad as "easily the most influential and popular underground indie of the Eighties."[38] SST was followed by a number of other successful artist-run labels—including BYO Records (started by Shawn and Mark Stern of Youth Brigade), Epitaph Records (started by Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion), New Alliance Records (started by the Minutemen's D. Boon)—as well as fan-run labels like Frontier Records and Slash Records.
Bands also funded and organized their own tours. Black Flag's tours in 1980 and 1981 brought them in contact with developing hardcore scenes in many parts of North America, and blazed trails that were followed by other touring bands.[43][44][45] Youth Brigade was one of the first hardcore punk bands to create a documentary of their tour, releasing Another State of Mind in 1984.[46] The Another State of Mind tour was funded by "Youth Movement '82", a concert organized by BYO at the Hollywood Palladium that—in addition to Youth Brigade—featured T.S.O.L., The Adolescents, Wasted Youth, Social Distortion and Blades. The concert was one of the largest punk shows ever held around that time, attended by more than 3,500 people.[47] Concerts in the early Los Angeles hardcore scene increasingly became sites of violent battles between police and concertgoers. Another source of violence in LA was tension created by what one writer calls the invasion of "antagonistic suburban poseurs" into hardcore venues.[48] Violence at hardcore concerts was portrayed in episodes of the popular television shows CHiPs and Quincy, M.E.[49]
Shortly after Black Flag debuted in Los Angeles, Dead Kennedys were formed in San Francisco. While the band's early releases were played in a style closer to traditional punk rock, In God We Trust, Inc. (1981) marked a shift into hardcore. Similar to Black Flag and Youth Brigade, Dead Kennedys released their albums on their own label Alternative Tentacles. While not as large as the scene in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area hardcore scene of the 1980s included a number of noteworthy bands, including Crucifix, Flipper, and Whipping Boy.
Additionally, during this time, seminal Texas-based bands The Dicks, MDC, Verbal Abuse, and Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (D.R.I.) relocated to San Francisco. This scene was helped in particular by the San Francisco club Mabuhay Gardens, whose promoter, Dirk Dirksen, became known as "The Pope of Punk".[50] Another important local institution was Tim Yohannan's fanzine, Maximumrocknroll, as well as his show on Berkeley, California public radio station KPFA Maximum RocknRoll Radio Show, which played the younger Northern California bands. One of those bands was Tales of Terror from Sacramento. Many, including Mark Arm, cite Tales of Terror as a key inspiration for the then-burgeoning grunge scene.[51]
The first hardcore punk band to form on the east coast of the United States was Washington, D.C.'s Bad Brains. Initially formed in 1977 as a jazz fusion ensemble called Mind Power, and consisting of all African-American members, their early foray into hardcore featured some of the fastest tempos in rock music.[52] The band released its debut single, "Pay to Cum", in 1980, and were influential in establishing the D.C. hardcore scene. Hardcore historian Steven Blush calls the single the first East coast hardcore record.[53]

Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, influenced by Bad Brains, formed the band Teen Idles in 1979. The group broke up in 1980, and MacKaye and Nelson went on to form Minor Threat, who became a big influence on the hardcore punk genre. The band used faster rhythms and more aggressive, less melodic riffs than was common at the time. Minor Threat popularized the straight edge movement with its song "Straight Edge", which spoke out against alcohol, drugs and promiscuity.[54][55] MacKaye and Nelson ran their own record label, Dischord Records, which released records by D.C. hardcore bands including: The Faith, Iron Cross, Scream, State of Alert, Government Issue, Void, and DC's Youth Brigade. The "Flex Your Head" compilation was a seminal document of the early 1980s DC hardcore scene. The record label was run out of the Dischord House, a Washington, D.C. punk house.
Seminal Boston hardcore bands included Jerry's Kids, Gang Green, The F.U.'s, SS Decontrol, Negative FX, The Freeze and Siege. A faction of the scene was influenced by D.C.'s straight edge scene. Members of bands such as DYS, Negative FX, and SS Decontrol formed the Boston Crew, a militant straight edge group that frequently assaulted punks who drank or used drugs. The controversy surrounding this crew and their antics sparked a debate about violence within the hardcore scene. In the late 1980s, Elgin James became involved in the militant faction of the Boston straight edge scene, and he later helped found the organization Friends Stand United, which would eventually be classified as a street gang.[56] In 1982, Modern Method Records released This Is Boston, Not L.A., a seminal compilation album of the Boston hardcore scene. The compilation included songs by The Proletariat, The Freeze, The F.U.'s, Jerry's Kids and Gang Green. Curtis Casella's Taang! Records was also pivotal in releasing material by bands from this era.
The New York City hardcore scene emerged in 1981 when Bad Brains moved to the city from Washington, D.C.[57][58] Starting in 1981, there was an influx of new hardcore bands in the city, including Beastie Boys, Murphy's Law, Agnostic Front and Warzone. A number of bands associated with New York hardcore scene came from New Jersey, including Misfits, Adrenalin OD and Hogan's Heroes.[59][60] Steven Blush calls the Misfits "crucial to the rise of hardcore."[61] In the early 1980s, the New York hardcore scene was headquartered in a small after-hours bar, A7, on the lower east side of Manhattan. Later, New York's hardcore scene was centered around the bar CBGB, whose owner, Hilly Kristal, embraced hardcore punk. The Dead Boys, originally from Cleveland but gained popularity in New York played at Hilly's club often and he even managed them. The Dead Boys album released in 1977 titled "Young, Loud and Snotty" is considered by some[who?] to be the first hardcore punk album.[citation needed] For several years, CBGB held weekly hardcore matinees on Sundays. This stopped in 1990 when violence led Kristal to ban hardcore shows at the club.
Early radio support in New York's surrounding Tri state area came from Pat Duncan, who had hosted live punk and hardcore bands weekly on WFMU since 1979.[62] Bridgeport, Connecticut's WPKN had a radio show featuring hardcore called Capital Radio, hosted by Brad Morrison, beginning in February 1979 and continuing weekly until late 1983. In New York City, Tim Sommer hosted Noise The Show on WNYU.[63] In 1982, Bob Sallese produced The Big Apple Rotten To The Core compilation on S.I.N. Records, featuring The Mob, Ism and four other bands from the early A7 era. The album gained notoriety on the commercial radio station WLIR, and nationally on college radio. The LP was followed by The Big Apple Rotten To The Core, Vol. 2 in 1987 on Raw Power Records.
Minneapolis hardcore consisted of bands such as Hüsker Dü and The Replacements, while Chicago had Articles of Faith, Big Black and Naked Raygun. The Detroit area was home to Crucifucks, Degenerates, The Meatmen, The Necros, Negative Approach, Spite and Violent Apathy. JFA and Meat Puppets were both from Phoenix, Arizona;, 7 Seconds were from Reno, Nevada; and Butthole Surfers, Big Boys, The Dicks, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (D.R.I.), Really Red, Verbal Abuse and MDC were from Texas. Portland Oregon hardcore punk bands included Poison Idea, Final Warning and The Wipers. Hardcore bands in Washington state included The Accüsed, The Fartz, Melvins, The Dehumanizers, Subvert, and 10 Minute Warning. Hardcore bands from Raleigh, N.C. included Corrosion of Conformity, Aftermath, The Wartz and Final Option. Corrosion of Conformity was the longest-lived of the Raleigh/Durham-area hardcore bands.
D.O.A. formed in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1978 and were one of the first bands to refer to its style as "hardcore", with the release of their album Hardcore '81. Other early hardcore bands from British Columbia included Dayglo Abortions, the Subhumans and The Skulls. In 1988, the Dayglo Abortions became the center of national media attention when a police officer instigated a criminal investigation of the band after his daughter brought home a copy of Here Today, Guano Tomorrow. Obscenity charges were laid against the Dayglo Abortion's record label, Fringe Product, and the label's record store, Record Peddler, but those charges were cleared in 1990.[64][65][66]
Nomeansno is a hardcore band originally from Victoria, British Columbia and now located in Vancouver. SNFU formed in Edmonton in 1981 and also later relocated to Vancouver. Bunchofuckingoofs (BFGs), from the Kensington Market neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, formed in November 1983 as a response to "a local war with glue huffing Nazi skinheads."[67] One early Montreal hardcore band is The Asexuals, a mainstay of the Montreal punk scene in the 1980s.
In the United Kingdom a hardcore scene eventually cropped up. Referred to under a number of names including "U.K. Hardcore", "UK 82", "second wave punk",[68] "real punk",[69] and "No Future punk",[70] it took the previous punk sound and added the incessant, heavy drumbeats and distorted guitar sound of New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands, especially Motörhead.[2] Formed in 1977 in Stoke-on-Trent, Discharge played a huge role in influencing other European hardcore bands. AllMusic calls the band's sound a "high-speed noise overload" characterized by "ferocious noise blasts."[71] Their style of hardcore punk was coined as D-beat, a term a number of 1980s imitators of Discharge are associated with.[72]
Another UK band, The Varukers, were one of the original D-beat bands,[73] and Sweden in particular produced a number of D-beat bands during this time period including Anti-Cimex, Disfear, and Totalitär. Scottish band The Exploited were also influential, with the term "UK 82" being taken from one of their songs. They contrasted with early American hardcore bands by placing an emphasis on appearance with frontman Walter "Wattie" Buchan's giant red mohawk, and the bands continuance of wearing swastikas à la Sid Vicious. Because of this they were labeled by others in the scene as "cartoon punks".[74] Other UK hardcore bands from this period included Broken Bones, Chaos UK, Charged GBH, Dogsflesh, Disorder, English Dogs, and grindcore innovators Napalm Death.
Australian hardcore bands began appearing in the mid-1980s. Massappeal of Sydney began performing in 1985[75] and released its first album in 1986.[76] Adelaide's Where's the Pope? formed in 1985 and released their first album in 1987.[77] Other Australian hardcore bands include Mindsnare (formed in 1993), Break Even and 50 Lions (formed in 2005), Iron Mind (formed in 2006), and Confession (formed in 2008). Australian hardcore is played on the national Triple J network on the short.fast.loud program.[78] Veganism and straight edge beliefs are becoming more prominent in the hardcore scene, particularly in Adelaide.[79] Labels that release hardcore include Broken Hive Records, El Shaddai Records, Resist Records and UNFD Records.
Hardcore scenes also developed in Italy, other European countries, Brazil, Japan, and the Middle East.
There was a dynamic Italian hardcore punk scene in the 1980s. Inspired by UK bands such as Crass and Discharge, many Italian groups had lyrics that were anti-war and anti-NATO. Groups included Wretched, Raw Power, and Negazione. Sweden developed several influential hardcore bands, including Mob 47 and Anti Cimex, whose music has also inspired many foreign bands. Since the early 1990s, many Swedish groups were D-beat "tribute bands" to groups such as UK's Discharge. A hardcore scene that emerged in Umeå and other northern cities in the 1990s, with bands such as Refused (Umeå) and Raised Fist (Luleå). Finland produced some influential hardcore bands, including Terveet Kädet, one of the first hardcore groups to emerge in the country. In Yugoslavia, notable hardcore bands during the 1980s included, Niet from Ljubljana, KUD Idijoti from Pula, and KBO!. Many foreign hardcore bands played in the former Yugoslavia in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, including: The Exploited, Charged GBH, The Anti-Nowhere League, Discharge, Youth Brigade and Amebix.
In Brazil, the hardcore scene was given a jump start with the opening of a punk record shop called Punk Rock Discos in São Paulo in 1979. By the early 1980s, the store was bringing records from England, including British bands like Discharge and Disorder as well as Swedish and Finnish hardcore. Around 1981, punk gigs were happening often around São Paulo, where there were already dozens of active bands, mostly playing hardcore punk and similar styles, most importantly Cólera and Inocentes.
A Japanese hardcore scene arose to protest the social and economic changes sweeping the country in the 1980s. The band SS is regarded as the first, forming in 1977.[80] Bands such as The Stalin and GISM soon followed, both forming in 1980. Other notable Japanese hardcore bands include: Anti Feminism, Balzac, Bomb Factory, Disclose (a D-beat band), Garlic Boys, Gauze, The Piass, SOB, and The Star Club.
In recent years, Muslim hardcore bands have emerged in the US, Canada, Pakistan, and Indonesia. The development of Muslim hardcore has been traced to the impact of a 2010 film Taqwacore, a documentary about the Muslim hardcore scene. Bands include "The Kominas from Boston, the all-girl Secret Trial Five from Toronto, Al Thawra (The Power) from Chicago and even a few bands out in Pakistan and Indonesia."[81]
The mid-1980s were a time of transition for the hardcore scene. Bands such as Hüsker Dü, Articles of Faith, and new bands formed by members of bands like Deep Wound and Minutemen experimented with other genres and were embraced by college radio, coining the term "College Rock". Many Boston bands such as SS Decontrol, Gang Green, DYS, and The F.U.'s, as well as Midwestern hardcore bands Necros, Negative Approach and The Meatmen moved in a slower, heavier hard rock direction. Crossover thrash was another influential movement in mid-1980s hardcore, with bands like D.R.I., Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, Los Cycos, Cro-Mags, Fang (band), Agnostic Front, Rich Kids on LSD, The Accüsed and Cryptic Slaughter embracing the thrash metal of bands like Slayer. Most of the Washington D.C. hardcore scene eschewed hardcore in favor of a college rock-influenced style of punk.
By the mid to late 1980s, many of the most prominent early hardcore punk bands had broken up. Bad Religion made a progressive rock album with Into the Unknown,[82] the Beastie Boys gained fame by playing hip hop, and Bad Brains incorporated more reggae into their music, such as in their 1989 album Quickness.[83] Social Distortion went on hiatus after its first album was released, due to Mike Ness's drug problems, and returned with a sound based more on country music, which was referred to as cowpunk.[84] In WA state, many hardcore punk and metal crossover bands had emerged like Stric-9, The Brain Dead, and Dumt.
While hardcore punk was declining in some American cities, New York City was becoming an even bigger epicenter for hardcore. Influenced by original straight edge bands 7 Seconds, Minor Threat, Bl'ast, and Uniform Choice, bands such as Youth of Today spearheaded the youth crew movement. An extension to the original pioneers groundwork of lyrically expressing views against drugs, alcohol and promiscuous sex, this newer belief system also focused on topics such as vegetarianism or veganism.[85] In the late 1980s, other bands associated with youth crew included Bold, Gorilla Biscuits, Side by Side and beyond the New York area to Southern California bands such as Chain of Strength and Inside Out.
At the beginning of the 1990s, bands such as Potbelly, Born Against, Rorschach, Burn and Drive Like Jehu took the 1980s styles of hardcore and pushed them into more contemporary sounds. Many of the bands from this era were strongly influenced by other genres, such as heavy metal, alternative, pop, and even rap. Hardcore subsequently became a broad umbrella term, as a variety of different subgenres arose, such as melodic hardcore (Avail, Lifetime, Kid Dynamite), emo (Ashes, Endpoint, Saves the Day), d-beat (Avskum, Aus Rotten, Skitsystem), powerviolence (Spazz, Dropdead, Charles Bronson), thrashcore (What Happens Next?, Voorhees, Vivisick), mathcore (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, Converge), screamo (Heroin, Antioch Arrow, Portraits of Past, Swing Kids) and rapcore.
While the 1990s had many different sounds and styles emerging, the genre primarily branched into two directions; new school metallic hardcore (sometimes referred to as metalcore), which incorporated aspects of thrash metal and death metal for a heavier and more technical sound, and old school, reminiscent of classic styles of hardcore punk like youth crew. "New school" bands such as Strung Out, Earth Crisis, Snapcase, Strife, Hatebreed, 108, Integrity and Damnation A.D. dominated the scene in the early 1990s, but towards the end of the decade, a new-found interest in "old school" had developed, represented by bands like Battery, Ten Yard Fight, In My Eyes, Good Clean Fun, H2O and Ray Cappo's new band Better Than a Thousand.[86][87][88][89]
Many of the bands during this time wrote lyrics about straight edge, politics, civil rights, animal rights and spirituality. Ray Cappo's views led him to become a Hare Krishna and fellow members of the New York scene, John Joseph and Harley Flanagan of the Cro-Mags also converted, as would new bands embracing youth crew.[90] While most of the bands embraced the straight edge lifestyle, some prominent ones from this era did not, such as Biohazard, Madball and Sick of It All. As a result of the Internet, music festivals such as Hellfest, and the commercial success of Victory Records and Trustkill Records, various bands such as Refused went on to find success with a larger audience and eventually brought the term "hardcore" into the mainstream.[91][92]
With the increased popularity of punk rock in the mid-1990s and the 2000s, some hardcore bands signed with major record labels. The first was New York's H2O, who released its album Go (2001) for MCA. Despite an extensive tour and an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the album was not commercially successful, and when the label folded, the band and the label parted ways. In 2002, California's AFI signed to DreamWorks Records and changed its sound considerably for its successful major label debut Sing the Sorrow. Chicago's Rise Against were signed by Geffen Records, and three of its releases on the label were certified platinum by the RIAA.[93] Rise Against gradually diminished hardcore elements from their music, culminating with 2008's Appeal to Reason, which lacked the intensity found in their earlier albums.[94][95]
United Kingdom band Gallows were signed to Warner Bros. Records for £1 million.[96] Their major label debut Grey Britain was described as being even more aggressive than their previous material, and the band was subsequently dropped from the label.[97]
Los Angeles band The Bronx briefly appeared on Island Def Jam Music Group for the release of their 2006 self-titled album, which was named one of the top 40 albums of the year by Spin magazine.[98] They appeared in the Darby Crash biopic What We Do Is Secret, playing members of Black Flag. In 2007, Toronto's Fucked Up appeared on MTV Live Canada, where they were introduced as "Effed Up".[99] During the performance of its song "Baiting the Public", the majority of the audience was moshing, which caused $2000 in damages to the set.[100]
Some hardcore bands began experimenting with other styles as their careers progressed in the 1980s, becoming known as alternative rock.[101] Bands such as Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Hüsker Dü, and The Replacements drew from hardcore but broke away from its loud and fast formula. Critic Joe S. Harrington suggested that the latter two "paraded as Hardcore until it was deemed permissible to do otherwise."[102] In the mid-1980s, northern West Coast state bands such as Melvins, Flipper and Green River developed a sludgy, "aggressive sound that melded the slower tempos of heavy metal with the intensity of hardcore," creating an alternative rock subgenre known as grunge.[103] One of the most popular grunge bands, Nirvana was particularly influenced by a number of hardcore bands (Black Flag, Bad Brains, MDC, etc.), with band members Dave Grohl and Pat Smear being recruited from Scream and The Germs, and singer Kurt Cobain listing hardcore albums among his top 50 favorites.[104]
Digital hardcore is a music genre fusing elements of hardcore punk and various forms of electronic music and techno.[105][106] It developed in Germany during the early 1990s, and often features sociological or left-extremist lyrical themes.[105][106] Nintendocore, another musical style, fuses hardcore with video game music, chiptunes, and 8-bit music.[107][108][109]
The 1980s saw the development of post-hardcore, which took the hardcore style in a more complex and dynamic direction, with a focus on singing rather than screaming. The post-hardcore style first took shape in Chicago, with bands such as Big Black, The Effigies and Naked Raygun,[110] while later developed in Washington, DC within the community of bands on Ian MacKaye's Dischord Records with bands such as Fugazi, The Nation of Ulysses, and Jawbox.[111] The style has extended until the late 2000s.[111] The mid-80s Washington D.C. post-hardcore scene would also see the birth of emo. Guy Picciotto formed Rites of Spring in 1984, breaking free of hardcore's self-imposed boundaries in favor of melodic guitars, varied rhythms, and deeply personal, impassioned lyrics dealing with nostalgia, romantic bitterness, and poetic desperation.[112] Other D.C. bands such as Gray Matter, Beefeater, Fire Party, Dag Nasty, also became connected to this movement.[113][114] The style was dubbed "emo", "emo-core",[115] or "post-harDCore"[116] (in reference to one of the names given to the Washington D.C. hardcore scene[117]).
Metalcore is another metal-based fusion genre which combines hardcore ethics and heavier hardcore music with heavy metal influences. It has been used to refer to bands that were not purely hardcore nor purely metal such as Earth Crisis, Integrity[118] and Hogan's Heroes.[119][120] Metallica and Slayer, pioneers of the heavy metal subgenre thrash metal, were influenced by a number of hardcore bands. Metallica's cover album Garage Inc. included covers of two Discharge and three Misfits songs, while Slayer's cover album Undisputed Attitude consisted of covers of predominately hardcore punk bands. Younger groups such as Sepultura also began to incorporate hardcore punk influences, resulting in a leaner and more direct sound. In turn, hardcore bands such as Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, and Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, started to incorporate thrash metal into their own music to create a style that DRI coined as crossover thrash.[121]
Melvins, aside from their influence on grunge, helped create what would be known as sludge metal, which is also a combination between Black Sabbath-style music and hardcore punk.[122] This genre developed during the early 1990s, in the Southern United States (particularly in the New Orleans metal scene).[123][124][125] Some of the pioneering bands of sludge metal were: Eyehategod,[122] Crowbar,[126] Down,[127] Buzzov*en,[124] Acid Bath[128] and Corrosion of Conformity.[125] Later, bands such as Isis and Neurosis,[129] with similar influences, created a style that relies mostly on ambience and atmosphere[130] that would eventually be named atmospheric sludge metal or post-metal.[131]
Often confused with crossover thrash and sometimes thrash metal, is thrashcore.[132][133] Thrashcore (also known as fastcore[134]) is a subgenre of hardcore punk that emerged in the early 1980s.[135] It is essentially sped-up hardcore punk, with bands often using blast beats.[134] Just as hardcore punk groups distinguished themselves from their punk rock predecessors by their greater intensity and aggression, thrashcore groups (often identified simply as "thrash") sought to play at breakneck tempos that would radicalize the innovations of hardcore. Thrash groups evolved in parallel with, and sometimes borrowed from, developments in British street punk, particularly D-beat. Early American thrashcore groups included Cryptic Slaughter (Santa Monica), D.R.I. (Houston), Septic Death (Boise) and Siege (Weymouth, Massachusetts). Thrashcore spun off into powerviolence, another raw and dissonant subgenre of hardcore punk.[133][136] Notable powerviolence bands include Man is the Bastard and Spazz.

I recommend this! I use it after I've syled my hair with mousse, since it tends to make your hair MATTE, After I'm finished styling my hair, I few spritzes here and there and it looks SUPER shinny, it smells awesome and does not make your hair greasy or heavy. I will buy it again once I run out!
I actually got this product for free. It smells absolutely divine! That's my main reason for using it. Since I flat iron my hair, I sometimes get that burned iron smell on my hair that never fades. But this spray helps with that horrible scent. It's a really fresh smell. Nice but not overbearing. The spray itself is really light so it does not weigh down your hair. And it leaves a really nice shine.

definition of Wikipedia
Advertizing ▼
A stative verb is one that asserts that one of its arguments has a particular property (possibly in relation to its other arguments). Statives differ from other aspectual classes of verbs in that they are static; that is, they have undefined duration. Verbs that are not stative are often called dynamic verbs.
Contents |
Examples of sentences with stative verbs:
In languages where the copula is a verb, it is a stative verb, as is the case in English be. Some other English stative verbs are believe, know, seem, and have. All these in general denote states rather than actions. However, verbs like have and be, which are usually stative, can be dynamic in certain situations. Think is stative when it means "believe", but not when it means "consider". The following are not stative:
Propositions that are expressed in most Indo-European languages by noun qualifiers (such as adjectives) are instead expressed by stative verbs in many other languages. In Japanese, so-called i-adjectives are in fact best analyzed as intransitive stative verbs (for example, takai alone means "is high/expensive", and samukunakatta means was not cold).
The same verb may act as stative or dynamic. An English phrase like "he plays the piano" may be either stative or dynamic, according to context.
Some languages use the same verbs for dynamic and stative situations, while other use different (but often etymologically related) verbs with some kind of qualifiers to distinguish between the usages. A stative verb is often intransitive, while a corresponding one would be transitive. Compare, for example, modern English with modern Swedish.
Swedish | English | ||
dynamic/transitive | stative/intransitive | dynamic/transitive | stative/intransitive |
lägga | ligga | lay (someone/something down) |
lie (down) |
sätta | sitta | set, seat (someone/something) |
sit (down) |
ställa | stå | stand (someone/something in an upright position) |
stand (up) |
bränna | brinna | burn (someone/something) |
burn (i.e., be on fire) |
In English, a verb that expresses a state can also express the entrance into a state. This is called inchoative aspect. The simple past is sometimes inchoative. For example, the present-tense verb in the sentence "He understands his friend" is stative, while the past-tense verb in the sentence "Suddenly he understood what she said" is inchoative, because it means "He began to understand". On the other hand, the past-tense verb in "At one time, he understood her" is stative.
Likewise, in Ancient Greek, a verb whose imperfect expresses a state (e.g., ebasíleuon "I was king") may use the aorist to express entrance into the state (e.g., ebasíleusa "I became king"). But the aorist can also simply express the state as a whole, with no focus on the beginning of the state (eíkosi étē ebasíleusa "I ruled for twenty years").
In some theories of formal semantics, including David Dowty's, stative verbs have a logical form that is the lambda expression
Apart from Dowty, Z. Vendler and C. S. Smith have also written influential work on aspectual classification of verbs.
English grammar series |
Dowty gives some tests to decide whether an English verb is stative. They are as follows:
(The phrase "Know thyself!" is imperative, but it uses the archaic "know" as a dynamic verb.)

The system has been made secure so that data entered by a person could not be edited by another
Collector M. Karunagaran on Thursday launched the 'e-Governance' pilot trials of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in Coimbatore.
This project completely does away with the need for paper work in monitoring the implementation of various SSA projects, according to Coimbatore Additional Chief Education Officer (SSA) R. Thiruvalarselvi.
Earlier, SSA Coimbatore got its data from field officers through papers, which besides being time-consuming, was also prone to errors with duplication of work also occurring. Retrieval of data took a lot of time as the required information had to be searched manually through registers.
To overcome issues in papers, ByVal Technologies, a Coimbatore-based technology company, had developed an online application that could be used by Block Resource Teacher Educators (BRTEs), Cluster Resource Teacher Educators (CRTEs) and senior officials of the SSA.
All the field level personnel could enter data into a website directly from their blocks and the application automatically consolidated them. The data would be available online for viewing by select officials alone.
The system had been made secure so that data entered by a person could not be edited by another.
Senior officials could view the data instantly and also generate report as required. The data could also be obtained in MS Word, MS Excel or PDF formats.
The system also generated various charts to show statistical information.
Ms. Thiruvalarselvi said that the website http://www.ssa.byval.in provided graded access and restricted many of the data.
It would provide instant access to data on all the Coimbatore SSA's 22 blocks, of which seven are in Tirupur revenue district.
While this was a pilot project at present, she added that it would be scaled up based on the response.

New Ultra-thin Hitachi GST Travelstar Z7K500, 7,200 RPM, 7mm 2.5-inch Hard Drive (Photo: Business Wire)
Hitachi Global Storage Technologies ( Hitachi GST) today announced that it has shipped more than 25 million Travelstar™ Z-series, 7 millimeter (mm) z-height, 2.5-inch hard disk drives (HDD), enabling a new era of thin and light portable computers, ultra-compact CE devices and industrial systems. The company also announced that it is now shipping its new 500GB, Travelstar Z7K500 drive – the industry's fastest and highest capacity, one-disk, 7,200 RPM HDD. All Hitachi GST Z-series drives can serve as a direct replacement for standard, 2.5-inch 9.5mm hard drives. They feature common connectors and mounting points for simple integration into existing systems, and enable greater design flexibility to differentiate and meet market demands for new, thinner, lighter and more robust devices.

Enabling Thin and Light Designs
Embraced by many of the top PC OEMs, the Ultrabook specification authored by Intel™ offers opportunities to create a compelling tablet-like computing experience in an ultra thin laptop design. In addition to providing a thin and light design, instant-on capabilities, and an extended battery life, PC OEMs must also create high-quality, cost-effective solutions to help drive competition, differentiation and mass adoption.
To help achieve this goal, a key part of Intel's Ultrabook specification is combining a 7mm HDD with a SSD cache, giving OEMs the ability to explore the limits of modern ultra thin and light designs without sacrificing capacity, performance, battery life or quality. For instance, a Hitachi 7mm HDD combined with an SSD cache can help OEMs meet the Ultrabook specification for performance and start up times, while providing a high-capacity, space-efficient, and cost-effective solution. Based on Hitachi's OEM customer plans, this combination is expected to ship in a significant majority of Ultrabooks in 2012.

I consider you would stay our village that nogit,but you said you must go because the schedule is very tighten,in this dream, maybe we have know each other well, so I invite you have a dinner because i promise it before .at that time, maybe you are 30years old. we talked something alone the small road and it take about 2hrs,I took a pencial and a notebook and want to you sign yours name.but i didn't take it out for sign your name. it time to night,all light is open,my grandmother was waiting me,my mother and may father were not in home because they had business in other town.

David Shen(email@example.com)
Can someone from SONY or the Juno nominating committee explain why SANS ATTENDRE is not nominated in the Best Francophone category?? It seems totally ridiculous to exclude it from the French language category but nominate it for the other two.
Congratulations!!! Very well deserved! You are certainly my "Fan Choice!!"
Wow! Congratulations on your nominations Celine....you are amazing
Celine is the best and she deserves to win this!!
Lots of love

To survive South by Southwest (SXSW) 2011, I needed mobile apps. Whether I was sampling a new group chat option, sharing contacts through Twitter or just checking an online map for directions I relied heavily on mobile apps. And so did just about everyone else, as evidenced by all of the chins stuck to chests with lighted faces. But for those of us with BlackBerry smartphones, the new and promoted apps at this event were mostly out of our reach. I lost track of how many new mobile app companies who said, "it's available on [x], but BlackBerry is on the roadmap…".

The West Indies captain Darren Sammy invested Friday's ICC World Twenty20 semifinal with the hopes of the entire Caribbean archipelago while Australian skipper George Bailey spoke of playing with freedom during the course of their respective media interactions here on Thursday.
Sammy's strategies
The big game: Once we play to our full potential, once everybody clicks as a team, we will be a destructive force.
We know that in the dressing room and we are quite confident we can go out and do that in the semifinals.
The motto when we left the Caribbean was: One Team, One people, One Goal. The mission is to win the Twenty20 World Cup and we saw it as a 100m hurdle. We got two more hurdles to jump to reach the finish line.
Not just about Gayle: Obviously he sets the momentum for us at the top of the order, but to win the game it will take a total team effort. I think it will take a collective effort like you saw in the games before to win the semifinal.
Olympic high: The Caribbean success in the Olympics was definitely mentioned in our preparation.
I remember the coach (Ottis Gibson) giving a speech at one of the meetings before the World Cup.
I remember being in Jamaica watching the men's and women's 100m and 400m finals and it felt like the entire Caribbean was winning.
Bailey's forecast
All about flair: The other night (against Pakistan) we were tentative. So we will go out and play the way we do, throw caution to the wind and if that is still not good enough, then we are not good enough.
The Gayle impact: If he has an outstanding game he will make it difficult for us, but we can come back through Watson, Warner and Hussey.
In Twenty20 we have these games within games.
Bat first or chase: In knockout games, maybe it is tradition, you prefer to have runs on the board and put the pressure on the other side. That's something that we weigh up but I don't think it affects us too much in what we do.
David Hussey in the final eleven: Yes, we are weighing that. That's probably the only change.

Federal Agents Raid Elian's Home, Remove Boy
July 7, 2008 - 7:25 PM
(CNSNews.com) - Armed federal agents forcibly removed six-year-old Elian Gonzalez from the home of his Miami relatives Saturday morning and flew the boy to the Washington, DC area to be delivered to his father.
Agents used a battering ram to break down the door of the Little Havana home in which the boy was staying around 5:00 a.m. EDT as INS officials with assault weapons drawn entered the home and took the child from the arms of Donato Dalrymple, one of the fishermen who rescued Elian from the sea on Thanksgiving Day.
Dalrymple held the boy and backed into a closet as the agents approached with guns out.
Dalrymple told reporters, "They said, 'Give me the boy or I'll shoot you.'"
The boy was then taken out of the home by a female agent who rushed to a waiting van, which backed away from the home as a small group of Cuban-American exiles protested the federal police action. Witnesses on the scene said the child was sobbing as he was removed.
Attorney General Janet Reno said at a Saturday morning news conference that eight agents entered the home and took the boy in a three-minute operation.
Outside the home of the child's Miami relatives, other INS agents held back the crowd with pepper spray.
Photographs from the scene showed a distraught looking Elian confronted by a federal agent in combat gear preparing to take the boy who Reno later called "a child who needs to be cherished."
Dalrymple told NBC reporters, "My God, what's happened to our judicial system? What has happened in America? Please, America, don't fail this community."

Publication of the 12-month results follows that of the 12-week OrBIT (Overactive Bladder Innovative Therapy) multi-center trial in THE JOURNAL OF UROLOGY, September, 2009. The 12-week results demonstrated that patients treated with PTNS had clinical improvement comparable to patients treated with an oral extended release OAB drug with fewer significant side effects.
"These results confirm that PTNS sustains the therapeutic effect that patients experienced during the initial 12-week study," said Dave Kaysen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Uroplasty, Inc. "The investigators' assessments mirrored that of the patients which demonstrates both objective and subjective measures improved. Urgent PC is an effective and viable option for treating urinary symptoms often associated with overactive bladder. We will use these results to continue to educate medical directors about PTNS effectiveness to establish reimbursement. This study is also part of the clinical data that has been presented to the American Medical Association as part of our application for a unique CPT code for PTNS" added Mr. Kaysen.

LA Coliseum: proposed for the firesale.
At this time of year in the holiday season, it is best to focus on what you have and not what you want. As an energy policy analyst, this columnist wants better energy policy to report to you, be it in the sphere of transportation, architecture or in industry. The wish list of quality public transport, a smart energy grid, EV vehicle infrastructure, green building subsidies, carbon reduction laws, etc. will be put on the shelf for the moment as we focus on the policies the good people of California have already set into law to guide their energy usage.
A recurring theme to 2009 was how broke the state had become. This is a bit of a hitch when it comes to funding the start-up costs of redesigning a more energy efficient economy for the long-term. California is billions in the red. How did this happen? As a transplant, this reporter had to ask the locals what transpired and how we came to this point. There was one answer that kept recurring as a central theme to California's budgetary woes: Prop 13.
Prop 13 was the brainchild of religious landlord lobbyist named Howard Jarvis. It was officially titled the People's Initiative to Limit Property Tax. Not only did it deal a hammer blow to the state budget by slashing the property tax in the Golden State, but it also required future tax increases to be passed by a two/thirds majority in both of the state's legislative houses to be enacted into law. This, of course, is impossible.
There is a general consensus in LA (unless you ask someone who owns a lot of property) that Prop 13 has had deeply negative effects to the state infrastructure, public school system and led to horrific urban sprawl by distorting the housing market. No piece of legislature in the past thirty years has had the impact of this ballot initiative in changing the face of California from the post-war liberal boom-state that the Beach Boys sang about to the state of dysfunction now run by the Governator.
Conservatives would gnash their teeth at the obvious correlation between post-Prop 13 California and the decline of the state's public services and deeply calamitous budgetary situation. "The state spends too much!" is the battle cry of the very loud voices that benefit greatly by the proposition and would lose a lot of money were it to be overturned. Those individuals may well be right in asserting that the state does spend a lot, but California does take a lot of money to run. With the state constantly growing it will require even more money in the coming years.
When the money ran out this year, it was a sad reality to see the youth and those on the bottom end of the social ladder get hit the hardest by cutting the funds to education and health care programs, as well as the unemployed who would benefit from jobs created in the green economy once the government can provide the proper incentives.
It was also somewhat embarrassing to see the state sell of its property to raise some cash. With the state losing its own property because it will not tax the properties of land owners, a repeal of this proposition is being sought out. The policy story of 2010 could take it back to 1978.

Aconcagua: Nugent & Team from Pampa de Leñas
Posted by: Billy Nugent, Walter Hailes, Katrina Bloemsma | January 07, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Today was hot… Our team woke up after a last night under a roof and in a real bed and loaded up on coffee and scrambled eggs before heading back over to Grajales' packing facility. We put the finishing touches on our packing job for the mules and caught a transfer from Penitentes over to Punta de Vacas where our journey truly began. We took off from the trailhead a little after 10 am and it was already blazing. Strong sun and high temperatures made for a hard day but our team showed a lot of strength by dispensing the first stretch of the trek to basecamp in good time and with strong form. Occasional breezes and some late afternoon wind made the heat bearable. We got moved in to our first camp at Pampa de Leñas after the mule drivers unloaded our gear and waited for a rendezvous with Jake's descending RMI team. Our minestrone soup was supplemented by delicious beef from the asado that the muleteers had prepared for Jake's crew. It turns out that our friends at Grajales knew that Gabi, Jake, and myself would all be in Leñas tonight and sent up extra meat for a celebration. Now, I'm laying under the stars with a full belly thankful for great friends and excited for tomorrow's continued adventure with a great crew!

Compact 9 that I currently carry: Kahr PM9 Compact 9 that I really would like to get: Springfield EMP
I really like my Bersa Thunder9 UCP, but it isn't a tee-tiny pocket pistol.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
I love my Ruger SR9c...first gun like a first love haha. She's not QUITE as compact as I'd like, but it'll fit in most average size purses, which is how I carry. I'd like to get a Ruger LC9 or a Springfield XD SC9. I tried that one today and loved the feel of it, everything about it. But I'm broke as hell right now, so that's in the FAR future, haha. Mahalo, Laura
I love my SIG P229r very much. Great overall pistol. Although I also enjoy shooting my Beretta Nano as well and I have been shooting it more now than the SIG, mostly to break it in. But i really enjoy shooting the Nano, which is something i didn't expect.
No complaints with my CZ 75 compact...
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789) "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
CZ 2075 RAMI BD, and extended mag to 14 and it's still compact.

Page France Calls Upon 'Rabbit'
Baltimore's Page France is a delightful bunch. As if 2006's Hello, Dear Wind wasn't charming enough, the folk-tinged collective does it again with their third outing, the twangy ...and the Family Telephone. On "Hat and Rabbit," a specially recorded live cut captured March 27th at the Crocodile Café in Seattle, lead singer Michael Nau blends all the sweet sounds of the '60s. With added dashes of Neutral Milk Hotel and Sufjan Stevens, and slight echoes of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising," Page France will leave you dreaming of those innocent summer days of yesteryear. While the lyrics are a downer at times, ("And I had a new best friend / he went and let me down again"), this upbeat melody is lush in psychedelic sweetness, complete with Neil Young-esque guitar noodling and chanting heard last time by the Beach Boys. ...And the Family Telephone is ringing now via Suicide Squeeze.

Do you mean like...Submitted by Commonsensenotc... on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 5:18pm.
Thou shalt not kill?
Thou shalt not steal?
Those kind of laws?
Like it or not, both English Common Law and the Napoleonic Code (used in LA) are based upon Judeo-Christian beliefs.
But you are correct in stating that the courts want to reverse these laws. Adultery is no longer a criminal matter in most states, and anything acknowledging a "Lord thy God" using public money is struck down immediately.
I just hope they strike the prohibitions against murder while I'm still young enough to be competitive.....

"I have truly enjoyed reading the materials.... Thank you! They were a blessing to my day. I learned many things already and was inspired to reorganize my environment....

Designation serves to help distressed homeowners
Kimberly Rossi of RE/MAX Gold Coast Realtors has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. This is invaluable expertise to offer at a time when the area is ravaged by "distressed" homes in the foreclosure process.
Short sales allow the cash-strapped seller to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.
In the Ventura County area, more than 1 out of 10 homes are in danger of foreclosing. It is happening in all price ranges. Local experts say that even high-priced homes are not immune.
"This CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with sellers and lenders on complicated short sales," Rossi said. "It is so rewarding to be able to help sellers save their homes from foreclosure."
Alex Charfen, founder of the Distressed Property Institute in Boca Raton, Fla., said that Realtors such as Rossi with the CDPE designation have valuable training in short sales that can offer the homeowner much better alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually destroys the credit rating. These experts also may better understand market conditions and can help sellers through the emotional experience, he said.
The Distressed Property Institute opened in January 2008 and provides training on-site and online. The CDPE is the premier designation for Realtors helping homeowners in distress and handling short sales.
"Our goal is to educate as many people as possible so we can help as many homeowners as possible," Charfen said.
