Probably the earliest usage, as applied to music though was by Anthony H. Wilson (Joy Division manager) who was overcome by a rare moment of lucidity on a 1978 BBC TV program when he described Joy Division as Gothic compared with the pop mainstream. How 'Goth' and 'Gothic' came to be used to describe the movement though is a little less clear. What is certain is that NME and Sounds used it, and there seem to be two suggestions as to where they got it from.

Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician known as the "father of medicine," named the condition on the basis of the Greek word for CROOKED.

Lou Montulli, currently the protocols manager in Netscape's client product division, wrote the cookies specification for Navigator 1.0, the first browser to use the technology. Montulli says there's nothing particularly amusing about the origin of the name: 'A cookie is a well-known computer science term that is used when describing an opaque piece of data held by an intermediary. The term fits the usage precisely; it's just not a well-known term outside of computer science circles.'"

Thanks to John Mc Donagh aka Nascent Virion for a list of what bands he though typified the Gothic sound. Some may disagree, but this is a rather decent representaion of GENERAL catagories. Clan of Xymox (Synth, almost dancey) * Southern Death Cult (SDC) later split in all directions. Only SDC are condsidered properly Gothic. However many of Southern Death Cult's Goth followers remained true even when they entered their 'The Cult' glam metal phase.

Unfortunately, there are some locations that do not yet allow pet hedgehogs. The IHA [2.5] can possibly help provide guidance on how you can enlighten any backward bureaucracies you run into. The list below started as a very stripped down version of the last list published by the N.A.H.A. to which I have also included additional notes thanks to people sending me information. the moment hedgehogs are not permitted in the U.S.

Andrew Eldritch chose the phrase as the name of this band from a Leonard Cohen song of that name. The song may be referring to prostitutes as 'Sisters of Mercy'. There is also a religious order who are sometimes known by that name.

Yes, jars in amber, cornflower blue, olive green, etc. are worth more because fewer of them were made and they are in great demand by collectors. The amber jars were made that way as an attempt to keep fruit from turning brown. The amber glass kept out the harmful effect of light rays on the contents of the jar. However, the jars were less popular with homemakers because the contents were more difficult to see.

It's a joke to take the piss out of the people who post such questions for reason 1. Such posts are normally easily distinguished by the sheer stupidity of the question, ie "Are Bauhaus Gothic?" or "Are the Bee-Gees Gothic?".

Daniel Webster, currently creating a catalogue of words for the common use of the King of England in 1826, wrote the colloquial phrase, "given thou flippant". At the time there was nothing particularly amusing about the origin of the phrase. A concubine is a well-known woman of the night used by men in power. And Webster used the phrase to make fun of the King and his weakness towards lechery.

According to one FAQ: "The prevailing theory is that it is from the song in Monty Python's famous spam-loving Vikings sketch that goes, roughly, 'Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam...' The Vikings would sing this over and over, rising in volume until it was impossible for the other characters in the sketch to converse (which was, of course, a large part of the joke.

Your first post (or very close to it) should describe your imbuing, tell how your character found the List, and give your handle. Anon52 is the generic handle that everyone gets when they log in, so you should choose another one for yourself. (See 3.18 for more info) Also, wait at least a week (or a FAQ posting) before you delurk - you are much less likely to stumble that way. I would also suggest that you start your character near another, established Hunter's territory.

The American colonial Masonic organizations stemmed from this Grand Lodge of England and were formed soon after 1717. Its then Grand Master appointed Colonel Daniel Coxe as Provincial Grand Master of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania on June 5, 1730, and Henry Price of Boston as Provincial Grand Master of New England in April 1733." -- Henry C. Clausen

Labor laws establish how many hours a worker can work, in a given period, before the employer is required to pay overtime. For firefighters this amount is set at 53 hours a week. This does not mean that a firefighter gets overtime pay the instant he or she works over 53 hours in a week. For a 24/48 schedule this would amount to 19 hours of OT every third week because on two weeks the firefighter would work 48 hours but on the third it would be 72.

This term originated from the concept of borrowing light from one room (such as a corridor) to add light to another room (such as an office). A borrowed light window frame consists of a fixed piece of glass.

I am brand new to the snowboarding scene this year and I am having trouble finding installation instructions for how to attach the bindings to the snowboard properly. my husband and I are recreational snow boarders. We don't do the parks but would go down the greens and blues and even black trails. we are planning on buying FLOW bindings. Which styles do you recommend? we currently use strap bindings.

The popular story is that during World War II, a military general visited one of the many airship stations operated by the U.S. Navy. Trying to find out what material an airship was made from, he tapped his finger against the fully pressurized envelope of a non-rigid Navy airship. The general described the sound he heard, "blimp," and blimps have been called blimps ever since.

Spreading swap across multiple disks (assuming they are the same speed) will help increase performance. Solaris allows the use of swap files which can be placed on striped partitions for increased performance. Generally, configuring the machine with twice as much swap as there is physical memory works well. (If there is 256MB RAM on the machine, configure 512MB swap on the machine). For systems with 1GB or more of memory, using 1x to 1.5x physical memory for swap space, works well.
