I would to know your hometown. Use google earth post a link to a pic of your home or if youe either don't have google earth/too lazy to download this FREE software, post another pic. That is my hometown Takayama, Japan.

I'm not posting a map to my house on the internet. You should probably remove the link from your post too. Unexpected, creepy internet visitors probably aren't too welcome at most people's home.

Like I'd ever go to Trenton.. hah.

Richmond, Virginia...I don't care if creepy stalkers try to find me, because in all likelihood, they won't.

Same here. Sucks ass huh? No buses either.

According to the handy-dandy statistics thingy on my MSNSpace, it seems that several NSG folks have already seen my personal site (Fallout from the NS Men's Pagent, I suppose). As such people probably noticed, however, the vast majority of the pics I have posted are landscapes.

So anyway, feel free to look if you like. It is the third link in my signature. I put up some nice sunset shots yesterday.

Like I'd ever go to Trenton.. hah.
Trenton? Trenton, Ontario? That' s where my parents are living until July.

*they know where we live precious!

I aint postin no picture, but my hometown is Lincoln, Nebraska, home of the proud rednecks cuz we :cool: that way.

I don't actually live there, that is where I was born. You also can't tell where anything is from the picture. I wouldn't post directions to my house on the internet...give me some credit.

Why would anyone break into your house above all the other houses that are in their town just because they saw your name on the internet.

Pop: approx 450,000

Points of interest: american colonists/pilgrims ships sailed from here but one sank just by Plymouth - the Speedwell sank while the Mayflower continued and found Cape Cod
it is one of relatively few places in the world to have two high-tides in a day (hence its use as a major industrial port)
The Titanic sailed from here (unlike what happened in the movie, iirc)
During WW2 the Spitfire aircraft was made in the greater southampton area, and approx 25,000 local civilians lost their lives
The city boasts the second largest collection of medieval walls and buildings next to York

I can't download software to my work computer, but it's Yucaipa, California.

Liasia']Same here. Sucks ass huh? No buses either.
Well yes it sucks, because it's boring. But.. it's nice because there are no cops ;)

Thats cool. Google Earth is awesome.

I dunno.....

.....it's a bit o' company, aint it?......

....also, if you happen to be a bit of a creepy internet person, there's probably alot of common ground to get you satarted :-D


P.S.
I Live in Northampton, England. If you've got Google Earth - yes, downloaded that free bit of software - look it up yourself yu' lazy bastard! <:-D

Solihull, UK (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=solihull&ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=52.583026,-1.779785&spn=2.903805,11.074219). A medium sized town within the general metropolitan area of Birmingham, staunchly Conservative (actually Lib-Dem held atm, due to the incumbent being found drinking motor-oil, or punching a little girl in the face or something equally election-losing), and full of geriatrics and chavs rich enough to own motorbikes.

Danbury, England (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=danbury+england&ie=UTF8&ll=51.716022,0.581417&spn=0.022069,0.085831&t=k&om=1)

Nothing of any real note about this place. The Queen's official impersonator lived here at one point. She may still do. There's some story linking the village to the Knights Templar. The pickled knight story is fairly interesting. And supposedly the devil once nicked one of the bells from the church, but it was too heavy for him and he dropped it in the woods.

Well yes it sucks, because it's boring. But.. it's nice because there are no cops ;)
'Tis true. I doubt i could smoke everday if i was in a city.

it is one of relatively few places in the world to have two high-tides in a day (hence its use as a major industrial port)
Um... Actually everywhere on the Ocean has two high-tides a day...

Lake Smellsummore, CA. j/k...it's actually very clean.

Would post a pic, but those Image/File/CrapShacks are taking forever... So, imagine a down in soutern CA with a ~3500 acre lake in the middle and several thousand 2-3 story buildings surrounding it's north and east shores, and more rural housing to the west, near some mountains.

We're specially because we were the first city in America to have a black mayor!

I really do not think the moon would let that happen... It could be that your spot has particularly high tides, or perhaps even minimalised ones. As far as I know there really is no way to get around the universal nature of how tides work on Earth.

Its funny how moon science gets in the way of truth sometimes

Southampton has 4 high tides a day and 2 low tides a day

Double high water
To try to understand the reasoning behind the description 'Double High Water', one has to look first at the tidal flow throughout the English Channel. When it is High Water at Dover it is Low Water at Land's End and vice versa. Imagine the English Channel as a rectangular tank 300 nautical miles in length and having a uniform depth of 36 fathoms pivoted at its mid-length. If inclined in either direction the water flows towards the lower end, thus giving the effect of High and Low Water at opposite ends. At the point of pivot, however, the level remains constant. Of course the English Channel does not tip, but external forces created by the position of the moon and sun relative to the earth create the same effect, originating from the Atlantic Pulse which keeps the English Channel alternating between High and Low Water with the time of High Water at one end coinciding approximately with the time of Low Water at the other. This effect is called an oscillation and occurs twice daily. If the actual physical features conformed to this ideal pattern there would be no tidal rise or fall at mid-length, but though the tides at each end of the Channel do conform approximately to this pattern the friction, irregular depths and restrictions in width of the Channel between the Isle of Wight and the Cherbourg Peninsula result in a further four oscillations daily within an area bounded by Portland, Cherbourg, Littlehampton and Le Havre. Combined with the natural twice daily oscillations, this produces the 'Double High Water' curve as experienced in the Port of Southampton. In the shallower waters within the Isle of Wight and in the Port of Southampton up to thirty further oscillations of varying magnitude again vary the 'Double High Water' curve to produce the ultimate Southampton tidal curve embodying the local tidal features, namely, the short duration of the ebb tide, the 'young flood stand' and the pronounced fall between first and second High Water stands.


Heres a graph of what it looks like

Dude.. it sounds great:)

I'm from/live in Belfast in Northern Ireland.

It's beautiful. Fantastic. I wouldn't live anywhere else in the world.

Just has something about it that nowhere else I've been has. And I don't know what that something is. Just something I can't describe that I love.

Maybe it's the people; so friendly. Maybe it's the fact that no matter where you are in the city you can always see the countryside, the hills, mountains, and that you're never more than a 15 minute drive from the country. Maybe it's because it's right by the sea. Maybe it's the beautiful Victorian and Georgian architecture. Maybe it's the huge industrial heritage.

I don't know.

But I do know there's no nicer place to be on a fine summer's day than Belfast city centre. I wouldn't change it for the world.

I haven't lived in the same home for more than 3 & 1/2 years, so I don't have a "home town."


Currently I'm going to school in Riverside, California, and my parents live in Livermore, California. I was born in a hospital in Norfolk, VA, and lived in Virginia Beach for the first year of my life.



Course in about a year I will either end in up Virginia, Georgia, or Pennsylvania depending on what job I end up with.


Not much I can say other than my dad's ex-military so I moved around a lot as a kid, and even after he retired we still moved around because of DOD/DOE related work.

I'll tell you where I'm from with song lyrics!

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home

I live in Jacksonville, Florida

I grew up in a very small village in central Michigan of about 400 people. I found it on Google Earth, but the resolution is so bad in that part of the state, and the town so small you can't actually see anything but trees, a state highway, and the river.

I can see my house! Well, I can see where it is, but I can't quite make it out. Considering its a panorama of the whole city that shows several hillside suburbs in the background, I've given you basically nothing :p

I was born in Reno, but I spent my childhood in Carson City, Nevada and consider it my hometown. So here it is with Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada and the Carson Range behind it.
