Rishabhanatha also Ṛṣabhadeva or Rishabhadeva,[4] is the first Tirthankara (Teaching God) of the present half cycle of time in Jainism.[5][6] The word Tīrthankara signifies the founder of a tirtha which means a fordable passage across a sea. The Tirthankara show the 'fordable path' across the sea of interminable births and deaths (saṃsāra). Rishabhanatha is also known as Ādinātha which translates into "First (Adi) Lord (nātha)".
Jain cosmology divides the Worldly Time cycle into two halves (avasarpiṇī and utsarpiṇī) with six aras (spokes) in each half. Twenty-four Tīrthaṅkaras grace this part of the universe in duşamā-suşamā (read as dukhmā-sukhmā) ara of both halves. The present half cycle (avasarpiṇī) being a special case, Rishabhanatha, the first tīrthaṅkara was born at the end of the third period (suṣama-duṣamā) itself.[7] According to Jain texts, he was born in the age when there was happiness all around with no work for men to do.[8] Gradually as the cycle moved, and wish-fulfilling trees disappeared, people rushed to their King for help.[9] Rishabhanatha is then said to have taught the men six main professions. These were: (1) Asi (swordsmanship for protection), (2) Masi (writing skills), (3) Krishi (agriculture), (4) Vidya (knowledge), (5) Vanijya (trade and commerce) and (6) Shilp (crafts).[6][10][11] In other words, he is credited with introducing karma-bhumi (the age of action) by teaching these professions to householders to enable them to earn a livelihood.[12][13][14] The institution of marriage came into existence after he married to set an example for other humans to follow.[15][13] In total, Rishabhanatha is said to have taught seventy-two sciences which include: arithmetic, the plastic and visual arts, the art of lovemaking, singing and dancing.[15] Jaina chronology places the date of Rishabhanatha at an almost immeasurable antiquity in the past.[16]
Founding of Jainism[edit]
Ṛṣabhanātha is said to be the founder of Jainism in the present half cycle,[17] and is unanimously considered to be so by the Jains. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the first Vice President of India wrote:
There is evidence to show that so far back as the first century B.C. there were people who were worshipping Ṛṣabhadeva, the first tīrthaṅkara. There is no doubt that Jainism prevailed even before Vardhamāna or Pārśvanātha. The Yajurveda mentions the name of three Tīrthaṅkaras - Ṛṣabha, Ajitnātha and Ariṣṭanemi. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa endorses the view that Ṛṣabha was the founder of Jainism.— Dr. S. Radhakrishnan[18]
Statuary representing Samavasarana (divine preaching hall) of Rishabhanatha on Mount Kailash
Ādi purāṇa, a major Jain text records the life accounts of Rishabhanatha as well as ten previous lives.
Rishabhanatha is associated with his Bull emblem, the Nyagrodha tree, Gomukha (bull-faced) Yaksha, and Chakresvari Yakshi.[19]
Garbha kalyanaka is the first auspicious event out of five auspicious events (Panch Kalyanaka). It means enlivening of the embryo through the descent of the life (soul) in the mortal body. [20] On the second day of Ashadha (a month of the Hindu calendar) Krishna (dark fortnight), Queen Marudevi is said to have seen sixteen auspicious dreams. King Nabhi explained these dreams to her as a sign of Tirthankara's birth.
Rishabhanatha was born to King Nabhi and Queen Marudevi in Ayodhya, on the ninth day of the dark half of the month of Chaitra-caitra krişna navamĩ.[21] This is the second auspicious event and is known as Janma Kalyanaka.
Rishabhanatha's kingdom was kind and gentle and he is credited with transforming a tribal society into an orderly one.[22] Like all tīrthaṅkara and other legendary figures of Indian history who were great warriors, he too was one with great bodily strength. However, he never needed to show his warrior aspect.[15] Rishabhanātha is known for advocating non-violence,[15] and was one of the greatest initiators of human progress.[13]
Rishabhanatha had two wives, Sunanda and Sumangala.[23] Sumangala was the mother of ninety-nine sons (including Bharata) and one daughter, Brahmi.[24] Sunanda was the mother of Bahubali and Sundari.[25] He taught his daughters Brahmi and Sundari, the Brahmi-lipi (ancient Brahmi script) and the science of numbers (Ank-Vidya) respectively.[26] Rishabhanatha is said to have lived for 84 lakh (pūrva) of which 20 lakh pūrva were spent as a youth (kumāra kāla), and 63 lakh pūrva as the King (rājya kāla).[21]
One day Indra of the first heaven arranged a dance by celestial dancers in the assembly hall of Lord Rishabhanatha.[27] One of the dancers was Nilanjana, whose clock of life had only a few moments left to run.[21][28] While in the midst of a series of vigorous dance movements, she stopped, and the next instant her form 'dissolved' and she was no more.[29] The sudden fatal death of Nilanjana, reminded Rishabhanatha of the world's transitory nature and he developed a desire for renunciation.[27][29] He gave his kingdom to his hundred sons, of whom Bharata got the city of Vinita (Ayodhya) and Bahubali got the city of Podanapur (Taxila)[28] and became an ascetic on the ninth day of the month of Chaitra Krishna (Hindu calendar). The renunciation is the third of Panch Kalyanaka and is called Diksha Kalyanaka.[30]
Akshaya Tritiya[edit]
Akshaya Tritya is considered holy and supremely auspicious by Jains. It is believed that Rishabhanatha took his first ahara (alms) as an ascetic on this day. Rishabhanatha was the first monk of the present half cycle of time (avasarpini).[31] Therefore, people did not knew how to offer food (ahara) to Digambara monks. King Shreyansa of Hastinapur town recollected his past life experiences and offered sugarcane juice (ikshu-rasa) to Rishabhanatha.[32] Jains attach great importance to this day as it was only after 6 months that Rishabhanatha was offered food. It is celebrated on the third day of the bright fortnight of the month Vaishaka.[33] He got the name Ikshvaku[13] from the word Ikhsu (sugarcane)[34] and his dynasty became Ikshvaku dynasty.[35]
Rishabhanatha spent a thousand years performing austerities and then attained Kevala Jnana (omniscience) on the eleventh day of Falgun Krishna (Hindu calendar). According to Jain texts, Devas (heavenly beings) created a divine preaching hall known as samavasarana. This is the fourth of Panch Kalyanaka and is known as Kevala Jnāna Kalyanaka. According to Jain texts, the following is the number of followers of Tirthankara Rishabhanatha:[36]
- Eighty-four Ganadharas (apostles)
- Twenty-thousand Omniscient saints.
- 12,700 saints endowed with Telepathy[37]
- Nine-thousand saints with clairvoyance.
- 4,750 saints śrut-kevali (saints having complete knowledge of Jain Agamas)
- 20,600 saints with miraculous powers.
- Three hundred and fifty thousand nuns, headed by Brahmi.[38]
- Three hundred thousand householders.
As an Omniscient, Tirthankara Rishabhanatha is said to have preached, for 1 lakh pūrva less thousand years (kevalakāla).[29]
Rishabhanatha is said to have preached Jainism far and wide.[39] He attained Moksha (liberation from the cycle of births and deaths) at Ashtapada (famously known as Mount Kailash)[39] on the fourteenth day of Magha Krishna (Hindu Calendar) at the age of 84 lakh purva (592.704 x 1018 years).[3] His preachings were recorded in fourteen scriptures known as Purvas.[40]
In literature[edit]
There is mention of Rishabhanatha in Hindu scriptures, like the Rigveda, Vishnu Purana and Bhagavata Purana.[41][42]
Rishabhanatha is also mentioned in Buddhist literature. It speaks of several tirthankara and includes Rishabhanatha along with: Padmaprabha, Chandraprabha, Pushpadanta, Vimalanatha, Dharmanatha, and Neminatha. A Buddhist scripture named Dharmottarapradipa mentions Rishabhanatha as an Apta (Tirthankara).[24]
The "Ādi purāṇa", a 9th-century Sanskrit poem,[43] and a 10th-century Kannada commentary on it by the poet Adikavi Pampa (fl. 941 CE), written in Champu style, a mix of prose and verse and spread over sixteen cantos, deals with the ten lives of Rishabhanatha and his two sons.[44][45] The life of Rishabhanatha is also detailed in Mahapurana of Jinasena, Trisasti-salaka-purusa-caritra by the scholar Hemachandra, Kalpa Sutra a Jain text containing the biographies of the Jain Tirthankaras, and Jambudvipa-prajnapti.[42][46]
Bhaktamara Stotra by Acharya Manatunga is one of the most prominent prayers mentioning Rishabhanatha.[47]
Rishabhanatha is usually depicted in the lotus position or kayotsarga, a standing posture of meditation. The distinguishing features of Rishabhanatha is his long locks of hair which fall on his shoulders, and an image of a bull in sculptures of him.[48] Paintings of him usually depict legendary events of his life. Some of these include his marriage, and Indra performing a ritual known as abhisheka. He is sometimes shown presenting a bowl to his followers and teaching them the art of pottery, painting a house, or weaving textiles. The visit of his mother Marudevi is also shown extensively in painting.[49]

Historical Traveler Reviews Stillorgan Park Hotel Dublin
Nice Hotel
Stayed there for 2 nights. Staff were nice and helpfull, rooms were clean.
Aircoach/Dublin bus stop outside hotel. Would stay again.
Fantastic quality hotel
This hotel made our stay in Dublin, although a 15-20 min bus journey from centre of town (bus stop directly ouside hotel), the hotel was faultless. Immaculate modern room, tastfull decor and a real professional attitude from staff made staying in hotel a joy. Would recommend this hotel to anyone, also it is constructing a spa which will be finished in a few months so the facillities will get even better.
Hotel is lively at weekends, private functions and weddings but all finish for about 1am
Stillorgan Park pampers Texans
Wow! A Texan's (and anyone's) dream hotel come true! New(ish), super clean, quality amenities and Irish-friendly staff! Having been very disappointed with the "air-conditioning" featured at the 4 star K+K George Hotel in London, I was expecting the same in Dublin. Wrong! Not only was it real (as cold as you want it) air-conditioning, the entire Stillorgan Park experience was most satisfying. Great location - the Air Coach bus dropped us off in front of the hotel and the return pickup was just across the (very busy) street. Dublin Bus used the same stops which we rode into the City Centre for our site-seeing and back again. We called National Car Rental, which was a mile or two further north of us, and they came to pick us up and took us to their office. (Their in person rates were much cheaper than those we encountered online.) The hotel had tons of free parking. Our great Internet room rate, included a "full Irish breakfast" of wonderfully prepared food and a wide assortment from which to choose. The hotel's staff was gracious, but not overly fussy. They were eager to answer all questions and provided suggestions and directions. I hate to give such a positive report for fear there won't be any vacancies the next time I want to go, but they've earned it. I have learned too much useful information from the posts of other Tripadvisor members, so it is my pleasure and duty to provide you with a summary of our experience.
Concert and Theatre Value at The Stillorgan Park Hotel
I stayed with my friend in The Stillorgan Park Hotel last week for Coldplay in Marlay Park - it was great value only €89.00 for Dinner and B&B plus they have a new shuttle service that will run you where ever you need to be....... great rooms and a new spa opening next month we will defo be back soon... great value last minute deals on line also
We stayed at Stillorgan Park june 6-9, 2005. This hotel is the perfect spot just outside the city. We took the main road in and were able to park right near Grafton St for all the sightseeing. Too easy to even get lost. This hotel has it's own car park which is a plus. My parents had a family room(153) which was huge. The first night my husband, 11 month old daughter and I stayed in a room(274) with a double bed. It was nice but small with a cot, stoller and all our luggage. The hotel was booked because there was a marathon that weekend. The next day we were able to be moved to a family room(270). This was even bigger than my parents room having separate areas with 2 televisions. I believe we were helped by Emma but I can't really remember as it was the last 3 days of a 2 week vacation. She was very helpful and friendly. We didn't get a chance to eat there but the menus looked quite good.
went to the skillorgan for valentine weekend hotel was lovely they are building a leisure centre at the back of the hotel this didnot affect us at all lots of buses to dublin 3 40 euro have the correct money as the driver cant take notes you willenjoy this hotel would go back there again
Right side of dublin town, near dundrum
I found this four star hotel on my travels. It is perfect for travelling to wexford and wicklow. You will be near to the largest shopping centre in Ireland at Dundrum. It has parking also. I found it on ----.
Very Impressed
We stayed at the Stillorgan Park Hotel in August, 2004 and were very impressed. We were worried that the hotel would be sub-par because we got a very cheap rate on it but we could not have been more wrong. We walked into the lobby wondering if we were in the right place. The hotel is a first class hotel - - spacious rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff, good breakfast (included in the price). While the location is not the greatest because there are no restaurants right near it (other than in the hotel itself), it IS on a bus line going to the center of town and the buses come frequently. It's also on the "Air Coach" line which has buses going to and from the airport (supposedly every 15 minutes). If you do want to eat at the hotel, there is a bar featuring basic meals and a very good (if expensive) restaurant.
Excellent hotel
Have stayed in Stillorgan Park Hotel on different occassions, have also dined there on trips to Dublin. We found the Hotel to be of excellent standard i.e. bedrooms, restaurant, bar etc. The food is of a high standard and the staff have been very efficient and friendly.
Excellent Hotel
Stayed at this hotel for the weekend in April. Excellent Hotel, friendly atmosphere, spacious bedrooms and public areas. Great food-Purple Sage restaurant is a must. Check their website for great rates, which include dinner. Location is out of the city with a good bus service direct to the centre-St Stephen's Green!. A car would be advisable for any other travel than to the centre of the city. Highly recommended!

I. Love. Ice cream. I could honestly have it every night, so when I started eating healthier that was really hard to give up, especially because I'm not a big fan of SkinnyCow or other artificially flavored ice cream. I recently discovered Gone Bananas from Trader Joe's, which are just chocolate covered banana slices but they are a serious life changer. They taste like little ice cream bites- and you can make them at home, which is awesome! They're the perfect sweet, frozen treat!
I had one of my ovaries removed in an emergency surgery (I had a non-cancerous growth that grew extremely fast and overtook the tissue) and I was so nervous for the recovery: would I be in pain? Would I go through surgical menopause? After a really brief adjustment period it was like nothing had ever happened. Your body knows exactly what to do in that situation- during my recovery, I felt my body returning to hormonal equilibrium as the rest of my reproductive organs adjusted to the change. It made me realize that I had spent all that time worrying when my body knew how to heal and recover all along!
I went to my cousin's wedding a few years ago with my parents (I was 21). A good family friend of the bride's family brought her son, who was a few years older than me. He spotted me early on in the evening and he wouldn't leave me alone the entire night. I even told him to leave me alone and he wouldn't. I made it blatantly obvious that I wasn't interested in him (by saying I wasn't interested), but he was still just the ultimate creep, placing his hand on my knee, rubbing my arms, etc. The kicker came as I was talking to another guest and HE CAME UP BEHIND ME AND WRAPPED HIS ARMS AROUND MY WAIST. Ugh, it was awful.

Pac should be 3-0 against this dude, Knock him out this time Manny. Although marquez fans and marquez himself would probably still call robbery even after seeing stars. Marquez has never been a graceful loser but this time he won't have a leg to stand on and Pac will put this dead horse down for good! And hopefully this will kill all the crap haters are spitting every time some questions Pac's standing as one of the top greatest of all time.

Blame Magic Johnson's head. His heart was in the right place.
Johnson hopped on Twitter to congratulate U.S. soccer legend Abby Wambach on her retirement following her final appearance for the national team. There was one problem — he completely jacked up her name in the post.

Cowboy Club: Review Title
Went there for an anniversary dinner with the wife while in Sedona. Very nice atmosphere, the place is always crowded with a wait so come early. The food was good, hard to mess up a fire grilled ribeye without trying real hard. It's a bit pricey for what you get but for a special treat it is worth it.
Cowboy Club: Something for everyone
Walking into the Cowboy Club is like walking back 100 years. The decor is definitely western themed. The food is pretty good although a bit on the expensive sided.
Favorite Dish: Chicken Pot Pie was almost "home made" tasting."

The Cowboy Club: Very good service and food
This place is a lot of fun! We ordered cactus fries (it comes with a raspberry sauce) and prickly pear margarita. Both we very good. We're foodies and love trying new eating experiences. My husband eat the ribs which he said were very good. I loved the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff.
Favorite Dish: The only thing I ate - the cactus fries - but I did have the prickly pear margarita and it was good, too.

Cowboy Club: Rattlesnake and Cactus!
Before meeting my girlfriend, I was VERY picky about food and I would not try anything new... I have changed.
In our only night in Sedona, we were deciding where to go and we found this place and, despite the name, it actually appealed to us and the fact it was full also helped in the decision.
We started by having a nice plate of Buffalo Brochette, fried cactus and... Rattlesnake Brochette.
It was the first time I had any of these things. I found the Buffalo to be very tender, but not much different from beef, the cactus was a bit to salty for me and the Rattlesnake... well, tasted like chicken. Actually, it was not much to eat and the sause it came with was very strong so I could not really figure out the taste. In any case, I liked it!
I then proceeded to have a nice Ribeye steak, which I asked to have well done. When I got it, it was actually burned.
I told the waiter that I could not eat it this way and he explained that it was burned because the meat contains a lot of fat and since it was charbroiled, this would happen with a well-done piece of meat. In any case, he too it back without any questioning and brought back a slightly larger piece, perfectly cooked. It was great!
I can definetly live with this kind of mistakes!
For dessert, there was a very good pumpkin cake. Yummy!
The problem with this place is the choice, there were so many things I would have liked to try, but were not able, like:
- Buffalo "Filet Mignon"
- Buffalo Sirloin
- Campfire Ribs
among other things.
If I am ever in Sedona again, I will definetly come here again.
Favorite Dish: - The buffalo brochette
- The rattlesnake brochette
- The fried cactus (I did not like it, but my girlfriend could not get enough)
- The steak
- The pumpkin cake
Address: 241 N. Hwy 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336
Phone: (928) 282 4200

- Food and Dining
The Cowboy Club: Eat cactus, in all seriousness.
Do you eat meat? I will come right out and say that I had the rattlesnake and I rather enjoyed it. Other picks - the cactus fries, the sweet potato fries, the cactus margaritas (I even brought syrup home so I can make my own), and the buffalo. My father claims they have the best hamburgers in the world...I don't do hamburgers...you'll have to take his word for it. All I know is that 2 can leave full for around $25 (we shared things, but also I had a drink and she had cheesecake)including tips and the food is both novel and tasty! The only drawback is that you have to play a little duck hunt with the timeshare hawkers as you make your way to the restaurant.
Favorite Dish: Everything is good here - you really can't go wrong.
Address: 241 North Highway 89-A

"Another day, another stupid penalty by Ken Hamlin. Whether it is for five yards or for fifteen yards, the guy just cannot play by the rules. His hotheaded play has cost the Seahawks multiple games this season. There should be no question about what we do this offseason: Hamlin has to go. He wracks up the penalties, and the Seattle defense cannot even stop the offense without penalties.
"I mean, Hamlin was flagged just a few weeks back against San Francisco. And he committed an unnecessary roughness against both Kansas City (Week 8) AND St. Louis (Week 6). As if that were not bad enough, he also committed a defensive pass interference against Arizona in Week 2. And then he... well... there was the one time he... wait... you mean he has only had 4 penalties all season?"
That's right, folks. Hamlin has committed a grand total of four penalties this season. The perception with Ken Hamlin is that he is simply killing the Seahawks with his stupid penalties. While you'd certainly like to see four less penalties from Hamlin, they are not the game-killers that Hamlin's detractors would have you believe.
Seattle has been losing games in all sorts of fashion - letting Frank Gore run for half a billion yards, Matt Hasselbeck gift-wrapping passes for defenders, Chris Gray giving defenders a shortcut to the backfield, fumblemania, coverage breakdowns with 36 seconds remaining, etc. Seattle has not been losing games on penalties by Ken Hamlin or any Seahawk.
"Ok, fine, he's only committed four penalties. But it seems like he gets more fouls than anyone else, he's probably among the league leaders in flags. After all, the league is throwing less flags than last year."
Well... Not really. In fact, that theory is flat out wrong. The league leader in penalties through week 15, Ravens cornerback Chris McAllister, has four times as many penalties as Hamlin (16, ranging from offsides (as a cornerback?) to illegal use of hands). Rams tackle Alex Barron can claim 14 penalties of his own (11 false starts would indicate he needs to stop chugging the Mountain Dew), while Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle needs to keep his hands to himself (an astonishing seven defensive pass interferences, and one defensive holding make up the bulk of his 13 penalties).
Two players (Cardinals guard Reggie Wells and Panthers defensive tackle Kris Jenkins) are tied at twelve penalties - still thrice that of Hamlin. Hamlin does not have many penalties, and what he does have pales in comparison to everyone else.
Just as how people have stubbornly held onto beliefs involving Shaun Alexander, Darrell Jackson, and Marcus Tubbs, people formed an opinion early of Ken Hamlin, and would rather cling to that misguided opinion than face reality. Ken Hamlin is NOT committing penalties at an unprecedented rate. He is barely committing penalties.
"But committing penalties is clearly a sign of an undisciplined, bad ballplayer."
Except that even the best players commit penalties. Chris McAlister is a top-notch cornerback on an outstanding defense. Kris Jenkins is, when healthy, among the most dominating tackles in the NFL. Alex Barron is the most physically gifted right tackle in football, and a major reason why St. Louis ranks fourth in the league in Adjusted Line Yards.
While neither Reggie Wells nor Antrel Rolle are great players, they have a great excuse - they're coached by soon-to-be-former Arizona Cardinal Head Coach Dennis Green, who is as well considered a head coach as David Greene is considered a Quarterback. That Ken Hamlin commits penalties does not mean he is a good or bad player. Instead, fans should look at his great coverage the past two seasons and his very solid run support.
Hamlin isn't even above and beyond in the number of specific penalties he's become notorious for in certain circles. Washington safety Sean Taylor, Atlanta cornerback DeAngelo Hall and Cleveland defensive end Orpheus Roye all have two personal foul penalties this year. Hamlin has one, and that was an offsetting call with 49ers running back Frank Gore.
Unnecessary roughness? Hamlin, Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman and Indianapolis linebacker Gary Brackett all have two of those through fourteen games. But Taylor has one of those penalties AND a 15-yard facemask in addition to his two personal fouls. If you want to point fingers at a safety whose undisciplined play might be hurting his team, Taylor's direction might be the way to go.
The Seahawks defense is really bad for a ton of reasons: Poor tackling, horrendous play up front by the defensive line, an astonishing 10 quarters in between sacks (against either first or second year starters, at that), Kelly Herndon's inability to outrun the hot-dog vendor, vanilla gamecalling, and a host of other flaws all contribute more to Seahawk losses than the four penalties Hamlin has amassed.
There is simply no reason to pin these losses on Hamlin's penalties - the evidence is irrefutable and overwhelming.

Our Story
Plywerk started in our basement. Kim, a photographer, needing to mount a photo, took some wood glue to the photo and applied it to a piece of plywood. Kjell, a serial entrepreneur and graphic designer, saw an opportunity. A product was created and a business was born.
Photo Credit: Faith Cathcart
For the next two years we sold Kim's photos on gorgeous maple plywood at local craft-markets. There we met like-minded artists, fellow entrepreneurs, loyal customers, and a wizard named Paul.
In 2012, we moved our growing team out of our house, into a new workshop and began to expand the product line to offer more ways for you to display your photos, products and memories. We continue to handcraft these and new products with an ethos that is more than just green.
When Kjell and Kim considered closing the doors of Plywerk in 2016, they were contacted by Derric Swinfard. Derric was once one of Plywerk's biggest competitors with his own equally sustainable business, Prints On Wood, specializing in creating unique limited edition artistic woodprints. When he caught wind of Kjell and Kim's approaching decision, he reached out to them expressing a great deal of respect for their business and products over the years. Interested in continuing the legacy and discipline Plywerk had worked so hard to reinforce over the years with their customer base, Derric was able to work with Kjell and Kim, begining a new chapter for Plywerk, allowing them to pass the torch and breathe new life into the business.
Moving Plywerk's base of operations to California alongside Prints On Wood, Derric and Kjell created new leaner production methods, while carrying over tried and true practices that earned the respect of clients to preserve the same level of integrity Plywerk had enjoyed in Portland OR, now at it's new home in Riverside, CA.
Kjell van Zoen
Kim Oanh Nguyen-van Zoen
Sustainably Made in California
The vast majority of today's economy revolves around cheap overseas manufacturing. As a consequence, the local economy in which we all thrive is often forgotten. We pride ourselves on bucking this trend.
By harnessing the power of the sun, every piece of Plywerk is sustainably produced in Southern California using 100% solar energy, using sustainably sourced materials from local suppliers whenever possible. This allows us to create every single Plywerk using a method that is more than just green.

Yeah I'm Pretty New... o:
Just curious, I'm going to start playing DFO, and would like some insight in how the game works.
-Combo System
How exactly does it work?
From what I've seen, it's just putting skills together, and I realize level of skill effects height, but what else?
-Super Armor
So... You can't be hit during these frames correct?, Which skills have them, and or how can you tell?
I get that 1-17 or w/e is just free for all, but after that, Is their cookie cutter builds? or Does it just vary on what you want
Just curious, any difference between builds?
I might submit more questions as they come up, but I'm just currently getting the feel
Comboing: As long as you are hitting an enemy, the combo will go up. After a certain amount of time (5 seconds ish?) of not hitting an enemy, the combo will reset back to 0.
Super Armor: While you have super armor active, you can still be hit, but you will not get knocked out of attacks when you're hit by an enemy. Basically, lets say you have a 5 second cast for a spell. If you're hit, the spell cancels, you lose mp, and have to suffer through the cooldown. If you have super armor, when you get hit, your spell doesn't interrupt and it finishes. Hopefully that makes sense.
Builds: For the most part, you do whatever you want. My advice is find a skill simulator (there are plenty in the DFO section here at /gg), and pump points for what you want, then post the results in a thread, and have others critique it. Better to get it right the first time than mess up and have to fork out 25 bucks for a skill reset :U
PvP: It all really depends on a few things: what class did you pick (priest, fighter, etc), what subclass did you pick (2nd job, pretty much), and what skills you have. After that, its for the most part how skilled are you at PvP.
I hope this helps you out.
Adding a few points~
You can get grabbed out of Super Armor and most grabs have invincibility frames (assuming they hit).
Every class has a launching skill given to them when you start the game, initially set to 'Z'. At level 15, you get the cancel for the skill which adds a whole new world of comboability. However, in pvp mostly, after comboing for too long, the enemy will fast fall. That's mostly to prevent infinites since they're not that hard to do.
PvP has different stats for skills as well. That's to prevent some skills from being too overpowered (though some of them still are anyways).
Super Armor is noted when your character has a red-orange outline around them, signifying that they won't flinch. You will still take damage, but your attack will still go through. In PvP, it's a valuable attribute to some skills that allow some characters to interrupt their enemies without being interrupted themselves.
For the skill build, it also depends on the class. There's obviously some necessities, i.e. a skeleton build to go by, but for most classes, there is plenty of SP left over to choose what you want to max.
For PvP, it mainly depends on your skill rather than your build. Your build should cater to your style, yes, but skill is still the main factor here.
oh hi Rai =]
jus a curious question, what are you planning to be?
I get that 1-17 or w/e is just free for all, but after that, Is their cookie cutter builds? or Does it just vary on what you want
Just about every build, for every class, contains Backstep + Backstep cancel, and Quick Rebound. I think the only class that doesn't need Backstep is the Monk, since they get a superior version (called Sway) at level 30. I can't imagine going from 18 - 30 without BS+Cancel though, so I got it on my Monk. It's only 100 points(And I have plenty of points left over in my build, especially since all Priest subclasses are basically incomplete at the moment, and missing a ton of skills).
Easiest thing to do I think, is to get all of your skills that are prerequisites for higher level skills, then start raising the skills that you like using.
The only skills that have invincibility frames, as far as I know, are grab skills. Grapplers get a ton of them, while most other classes get 1.
Putting aside reduced SP cost/Backstep + Cancel from the start patch in DnF, Backstep and Cancel costs 100 SP. This is vital SP that could be used in other skills, perhaps five levels into an active for the Cancel with extra SP, maybe last three levels to late-level skills. Not every class needs it.
Fighters, it is debatable. Personally, I don't think we need it. Our mobility is high already, it's neither used for combos, which is what we should focus on, nor is it really used to avoid attacks at all.
Mages, it would depend. Summoners and Elementalists don't need it, they shouldn't exactly be in close-range combat. Battlemages and Witches could find uses it in, but Witches tend to dash into air combos automatically, while Battlemages usually run and slam enemies with their long forward range.
Gunners probably have the best use for this. They spam shots and cancel to continue quickly.
Priests have some uses since their attacks are usually slow to cancel, but physical Exorcists spam super armor, magical Exorcists are asses with their circle crap, Monks have Sway like you said, and Crusaders... ANYWAYS.
Slayers primarily only use it for Backstep Cutter. Cancel - Triple Slash would serve better with more adjustable SP usage and multi-purposed anyways.
As for Quick Rebound, I honestly don't know why you would waste a nice 10 SP on it. Not only are you restricted from doing ANYTHING in the time of your invincibility, enemies can do a prolong frame attack that will hit you as soon as Quick Rebound goes away. SURE, it MAY be useful to avoid OTG strings or relaunches, but the use of it is still limited, as you'll probably eat more damage after they re-combo you out of Quick Rebound than if you took OTG/relaunch.
Going by prerequisites is just... ehhhhhhhhhhh.
It's better to go based on a combo you'd attempt to try, because more than likely, you'll be getting skills that have a Cancel (other than maybe non-Ranger-like Gunners) that strings together.
No skills give invincibility frame on activation. The only skills giving invincibility frames are those that give grab decision and ACTUALLY LAND, thus Grapplers have too much of that. Brawler Explosive Hook gives invincibility frame on explosion. Nen Master's Nen Guard is TECHNICALLY invincible, even if you can destroy the dome. Priest grab thing that slams you into an invisible wall. Slayer Neutral Wave Wheel and Bloodlust. Gunner Punisher on hit. Witches with ICE CAR I think.
Far as backstep is concerned, I've yet to find anyone who has gotten it and regretted getting it. It's just useful, overly pricey sure but unparalleled in it's usefulness.
I give examples of terrible situations with Quick Rebound.
Blade Masters aka RoflKnife.
Enjoy getting re-looped.
Grapplers also have a long enough grab animation to grab you as soon as you get out of Quick Rebound.
High-leveled and skilled Brawlers could also be able to time the invincibility on Rebound and punish with a standing Mount assuming they have Raging Vulcan and the status effect (because they should have inflicted one if they remotely hit you) would be there.
If you were knocked onto the ground by Gunners, it's usually by bullet spam or BBQ, grenades, or something similar. Bullet spam, you'll just Rebound right back into another round. BBQ, they'll just spam bullets like first time. Grenades are the same.
Priests can Smasher, or simply jump and Phoenix Hammer, which has a decent enough splash range to hit you as soon as you're able to move.
Every SP is useful.
I haven't gotten Backstep, and I regret it.
Protip: Hold C for Quick Rebound's full 1 sec invincibility in PvP.
Knowing how long to hold down Quick Rebound is essential to its use. Don't say it sucks just because you're tapping it and getting owned after your 0.3 sec invincibility; you're not using it to its full potential.
brb seppuku.
Okay, now I know Quick Rebound has more uses than what I give it credit for with the full second invincibility. But if you're already strained on SP, I really don't think it should be a top priority.
That is all. 10 SP makes it a must have if you ever plan to PvP. 100% PvE people might not need it.
...Holy hell I didn't know you could hold it.
Excuse me while I go /headdesk repeatedly.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Blue Bird Corp. and Synovia Solutions have partnered to offer Blue Bird Connect, a GPS fleet management system.
Officials said customers can now order new Blue Bird school buses from the factory with Blue Bird Connect. They have the option to activate, at no upfront cost, any or all components of Blue Bird Connect. Blue Bird dealers can also upfit an existing fleet of buses with the technology, regardless of brand.
In addition, if a customer isn't ready to order Blue Bird Connect as an option at the time of the bus purchase, Blue Bird will be pre-wiring all school buses to ease field installation at a later date, officials said.
The company debuted the system, which it says has proven to reduce total cost of ownership, at the National Association for Pupil Transportation's trade show on Tuesday and will continue to showcase it on Wednesday.
Tippecanoe School Corp. (TSC) is one of the largest geographical school districts in Indiana. Synovia Solutions' technology has provided TSC with substantial annual savings.
"We estimate a savings of around $10,000 to $15,000 each year just with our field and athletic trips alone," said Kevin Neafie, transportation director.
This GPS fleet management system offers core functionality including GPS capabilities, comparative analysis, student tracking, a parent portal, safety reporting as well as engine diagnostics and fuel economy tracking. Blue Bird Connect also includes unique features, such as integrated driver time and attendance with planned-versus-actual comparisons, dashboards of key performance indicators, the ability to schedule the delivery of reports to management and the all-inclusive monthly fee per vehicle with no upfront costs.
"Blue Bird is pleased to offer this exciting school bus innovation that provides customers with the ability to maximize their fleet's efficiency and deliver significant operational savings," said Phil Horlock, president and CEO of Blue Bird Corp. "Blue Bird Connect allows districts and contractors to save thousands of dollars each year. It is truly a smart choice for efficiency and savings."
"Synovia Solutions is excited about broadening our reach into the school market with an OEM solution and teaming with Blue Bird," added Jon King, CEO of Synovia Solutions. "Their vision for providing value-add to their customers with an OEM GPS fleet management solution fits strategically with the Synovia Solutions strategy of reaching into the market directly and with partners who place the same value on quality, service, safety and savings."

My untrained eye goes to the Oscars
It's Friday, so here's something that requires very little thought, just a gut reaction.
What film will/should win Best Picture? Here's the link to the nominees if you need a reminder. Then comment away.
I've seen only a portion of the list- Lincoln, Argo, Django Unchained, Zero Dark Thirty
My personal favorite — Lincoln. Great movie all around.
Django Unchained - a "B" movie. Didn't find it offensive, but didn't find it compelling either. That's my take on everything Tarantino has done. By the way, I did an interview with Tampa Bay Times TV and Media critic Eric Deggans in this upcoming Sunday's Points section. We talk about various elements of race and media, but here's a spoiler alert on Django: He says the movie is a unique portrayal of a comic book black superhero in a revenge fantasy played as a Western/ slavery setting. Interesting take.
Argo – solid movie. Told a story the world hadn't heard before and kept my interest throughout.
Zero Dark Thirty –Thought The Hurt Locker was better but I can't get enough on the Bin Laden raid even if its told with dramatic license.
In the wish I'd seen category Amour and Beasts of the Southern Wild.

Generics are "copycats" of brand-name drugs. They're safe and effective, and they typically cost a quarter of the price of brand-name drugs. Generics are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and must meet the same strict standards that are required of brand-name drugs.
Our prescription step therapy program promotes the use of generic drugs as the first step in treating your condition. How does the program work?
When you get a new prescription in certain drug classes, you must try a generic option or similar alternative medication.1
If the generic option is not right for you, your physician may request an authorization for a brand-name drug.
If you do not follow the program, the brand-name drug will not be covered under your benefits.
For more information on this program, view our step therapy program brochure.
View examples of step therapy drugs.
According to the FDA, generics are just as effective as brands. Read these articles to learn more:

My Smart Home
I've been interested in technology since I can remember. Now that I'm an adult, I can start applying some of those interests into more practical applications. Ever since the products have been coming out, I've been following them, and only until recently have they matured enough to warrant the investment necessary to bring together a truly smart home. The following is my product list along with the relative ease and the pros and cons of each.
Starting off, everything centers around two things: my iPhone and my Amazon Echo. You can automate the majority of things through your smartphone but to take things up to the next level of usefulness you will need an Echo.
Amazon Echo – $179.99
The center of it all, the Echo is a web connected electronic hub that listens for your commands and can issue them to the correct devices. I have mine installed in my kitchen, which borders on my computer area and my living room. At any point, I can issue commands to dim the lights, set timers for cooking, add items to my shopping list or even adjust the temperature. I can do this because it has hooks into all of those systems in my house and it's voice activated. I can do most of these things through my phone as well, but usually through their perspective apps and not through SIRI. The kids love to ask it for jokes or to play word games. The kids also love to add random things to my shopping lists like puppies or dead babies (J/K!!!), just for fun of course. I hear Amazon has just added Jeopardy as well. I can also use it as a Bluetooth speaker for my phone. It's an amazing device that I can't recommend enough.
Phillips Hue 1st Gen Starter Kit – $199
My first foray into smart lighting is easily the most seductive. I have two of the colored bulbs in my living room and one in my master bedroom. Using the Hue app, I'm able to call up preprogrammed "scenes" that can change the mood or brighten the area for reading. I have since expanded the starter kit with two additional white only bulbs ($15 each) for use outside, and I have programmed those to turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn. This not only makes it appear as if someone is at home, but is also cost effective at saving electricity. Two things of note: 1. I had to add an additional Echo to my master bedroom just so I could voice activate the lamp, and 2. the 2nd Generation Starter Kit (also $199.99) is now available, but that's only compatible with SIRI and not the Echo. This is good for those without a smart hub, but bad for those of us that want an all in one solution. To me, the benefit of anyone in my house being able to just call out "Turn on the living room" far outweighs the ability for only me to be able to use SIRI only to do the same thing. I contacted Amazon about it, and their response was that Apple was not playing nice with their Homekit enabled devices, and since they are a sandbox, allowing outside devices like the Echo to talk to it, was a no no. You will have to make your own decision on whether you want an Apple or Amazon-centric experience.
Oh and one additional thing: I am also able to hook the Hue lights into the Sleep Cycle ($.99 on Android or $1.99 for premium on the iPhone) app on my smartphone so that it can intelligently dim the lights as I am going to sleep, and also gently wake me up in the morning by also raising the lights in my bedroom. It gives the Hue lights intelligent functionality that you normally would have to pay separately for.
August Smart Lock – $196.25
This smart lock is my shakiest recommendation solely because of the difficulty of implementation. This replaces half of your deadbolt mechanism with a smart lock which can be operated by smartphone application. It still uses your key cylinder so you don't need to rekey your lock, making this a relatively easy installation with one huge caveat: If your door doesn't sit exactly flush, then it will not work 100% of the time until you apply the correct pressure for the deadbolt to slide in comfortably. Initially I didn't think it would be that big of a deal, but in reality, it only works by itself maybe 50% of the time. If you have someone there pushing on the door, then maybe it will work 80-90% of the time. The other problem also is that it needs the $79.99 August Connect in order to work online. Otherwise you're limited to the Bluetooth range of your phone. That being said, the other solutions in this field have the same exact physical implementation problems, and none of them have any better way around the problem. Now I can't use this with the Echo just yet, but it has been hinted that support for it is coming in the near future and the Xfinity home alarm system that I have does interface with this, so that's a plus as well.
Ecobee 3 Smart Wi-Fi Thermostat 2nd Generation – $243.99
I initially tried to install this myself, but I found out that the townhouse I'm renting didn't have the required power wire for proper installation so I went to Amazon and opted to get their Home Thermostat Installation – $78.00. The first time, the installer said that my thermostat wasn't working right, and it needed to be warranty replaced. Also he was going to have to charge me the complete fee for attempting the install.
I then proceeded to contact Ecobee and they promptly shipped me out a replacement at no charge. I then chose a different company from Amazon to do the same installation and this time it was a success. Evidently this second guy told me that my problem was that the house was wired with the improper colors, and yellow was blue or something along those lines. Regardless, this time it worked like a charm and now I could begin to use it.
The reason I chose this over the (Nest – $249) was because my townhouse only has one AC unit for both upstairs and down, so the additional wireless temperature sensor is necessary here in order to provide accurate readings. I often times felt myself too hot or too cold depending on where I was. It took several days in order to dial in all the settings just the way I like, but now I have programmed it so that during the day it raises the temperature to a normal that is not too hot both upstairs and down, and at night it lowers the temperature for a comfortable sleeping temp upstairs. Also I can set it to a higher "away" temperature, if it senses I am not there, or if I'm away for work. I can also temporarily override the schedule by a few degrees warmer or lower by either giving a command to the Echo or by using the App on the phone. To me this is worth it's weight in gold.
TP-Link HS100 Smart Plug – $29.99
I have added these as a means to turn off a few individual items that don't use regular light bulbs that the Hue could handle. I'm currently using it on the three case lights for my collectibles collection and also the lights on the Christmas tree. You have to install and configure them through the Kasa app, but they work with the Echo just fine, and I can schedule them and also program them to randomly turn on and off if I'm away to simulate someone being home.
Automatic Connected Car Adapter – $79.99
This one I added only because the option was there, not necessarily because it adds anything meaningful. I can hook it up to Echo to tell me where my car is, but if I'm home then that generally means I am too. I can see where this would be useful to see where my wife or girlfriend would be if they had it on their car, but it does border on a bit of 1984 style monitoring. Mostly I can use the Automatic app to monitor my driving habits. It beeps in the car if I accelerate too fast or if I brake too hard so over time it will condition you to be a better driver. It also shows how much gas I use on average for each trip I take around my neighborhood. I can also pair it with an OBD app to diagnose any check engine lights that pop up, but so far I haven't found this to be useful, and the lights I have tried it on- this didn't work on, so for that use I'd say pass.
Overall, having these conveniences can range from extremely useful to utterly useless, it all depends on how you use them. Of course there's a cost associated with implementing each of these things but if you do one or two at a time, then it doesn't sting so badly. In the end, I've automated just about as much as I can, providing comfort, convenience and security to enhance my home.

OK. It's a little slow here so this ought to start something!
If you could only have one gun (and I mean just one) for everything. What would it be. For me I thought about the Thompson Center with a bunch of barrels. This would be cool for hunting but as they are all single shots it would be limited at best for defense. I thought about a semi-auto rife such as an M1A but that wouldn't work for small game or fowl.
So I settled on a Remington 870 with 2 barrels. A 28 inch with multiple chokes and a slug barrel with rifle sights. The slug barrel would work for big game out to possibly 100 yards or so and with buckshot for defense against anything that walks, crawls swims or flies. The 28 incher would do for birds and small game hunting.
I know I'm right and I dare you yahoos to defy me!!!
